The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'bows out of playing Eileen' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an actor ceasing to play a role, which is unrelated to the construction's properties.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of being' in a context that does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action, nor does it fit any of the semantic or syntactic properties outlined for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'people across the Menai Strait' is the NP object and 'visiting the area' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'priced' implies a means of exerting force or pressure (metaphorically), fitting one of the verb categories. The interpretation is prevention, as the high prices prevent people from visiting the area. The NP object 'people across the Menai Strait' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Radical steps are being taken to ease gridlock at one of Wales ' most in-demand beaches . Day prices are to more than double and , over the next Bank Holiday weekend , a 300-space beach car park will be locked down once it 's full . The measures are to be put in place by Natural Resources Wales ( NRW ) to curb the traffic congestion that regularly blights Newborough , Anglesey . Vehicles wanting to park by the beach at Traeth Llanddwyn must first pass through the village , which often grinds to a standstill as visitors wait for parking spaces to become available . From Friday , May 23 , prices will rise at the main beach car park and two others within the adjacent Newborough Forest -- Airman 's and Cwningar Parking for up to two hours will be ? 5 and 70p for each additional 20 minutes , with a maximum daily charge of ? 15 . Currently it 's ? 2 for the first two hours , 40p for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 7 per day . Some people have labelled the increases " extortionate " and " absolute robbery " . It 's feared that people across the Menai Strait will be priced out of visiting the area , a National Nature Reserve . NRW also plans to trial a lockdown plan at the three car parks . Once they are full , access barriers will come down and no more vehicles will be allowed in until 4.30pm that day -- even when spaces become available . Arriving visitors will be alerted to closures via a matrix sign on the A4080 at Pen L ? n roundabout a half-mile south of the village . The trial will take place on Saturday , Sunday and Monday ( May 24-26 ) . Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now Richard Berry , NRW 's land management team leader for northwest Wales , said : " The new pricing structure reflects that of other beach car parks on Anglesey to bring the site in line with other areas . " The trial will stop vehicles accessing the site @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from 11am or sooner during Bank Holidays , weekends and periods of good weather . " Even as cars leave the site and spaces become available no vehicular access will be allowed until after 4.30pm . " We hope this approach will safeguard the site 's precious wildlife , improve the visitor experience and reduce congestion in the village where motorists currently wait for a parking space on the site to become available . " We are therefore asking visitors to consider visiting at quieter times or to try one of the many other beaches and destinations on Anglesey . " Free parking for Blue Badge holders will remain unchanged . Residents of Newborough , Dwyran , Llangaffo and Malltraeth will also get free parking if they apply for an annual pass . Other Anglesey residents can by a season ticket -- this also stays at the same price of ? 35 . A ? 70 annual pass for non-Anglesey visitors also remains unchanged . The beach access road was closed during a recent protest in the village ( Image : Llanddwyn & Forest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this month , Newborough residents staged a " slow walk " to blockade the sole access road to the beach car park . More were planned over the next Bank Holiday weekend . While villagers are pleased action is finally being taken , concerns have been expressed elsewhere about the new measures .

Also , what about out of season ( pricing ) ? Talk about cashing in ! " I 'm glad to see people power worked but seriously , it 'll be at least ? 8.50 to go for a walk there now , and ? 15 a day is absolute robbery .

However east England incomes are typically higher than North Wales , and the visitors more affluent .

" Two years ago , prices at the Pen y Pass car park for Yr Wyddfa ( Snowdon ) , were hiked to ? 20 for up to eight hours -- and ? 40 for more than 12 hours . Steep parking prices have prompted fears of more illegal parking on nearby roads and even on residential streets in Newborough . Other just worry they will no longer be able to afford to visit one of their favourite places . One Llanddwyn regular said online : " Am I correct that pricing will be more than doubled ? When we go for a walk in the evenings it costs us a couple of pounds but with the new pricing it will cost us ? 5 ! Surely that 's not right ?

" Another claimed it was actually cheaper to park in the centre of Manchester , calling the move " absolutely ridiculous " . One woman was left fuming , saying local people who walk there for their mental and physical health will now be priced out .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an action (create something out of nothing) without involving a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate that would fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of nothing' is a fixed expression and does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Irrespective of what happens in the FA Cup final on Saturday , it has been an incredibly disappointing season for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola . The Cityzens are currently scrapping it out to secure a place in the top five to land Champions League football for next season , whilst they have already missed out on the Premier League title . They were also knocked out of the Champions League in the play-off round and lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the League Cup , which illustrates how disappointing this campaign has been for the club . Despite having Erling Haaland back in the side , City 's struggles continued against already-relegated Southampton , who had 11 points heading into the game , last weekend in a 0-0 draw . Manchester City did not create a single ' big chance ' in the game , and one area in which they could look to improve their creativity is in the full-back positions , because Rico Lewis did not create any chances in 76 minutes on the pitch at right-back . Guardiola can not look to Lewis to create something out of nothing by bombing down the flank to put a great delivery in , or to come in at the back post to score a goal to change or win a game . The 20-year-old defender has gone 28 matches without creating a ' big chance ' in the Premier League this season , which shows that he is not a player who can make a big impact at the top end of the pitch . Lewis has also scored one goal and missed two ' big chances ' in those 28 outings in the top-flight , which shows that he does not offer much of a goalscoring threat either . As you can see in the table above , the England international does not excel when it comes to making things happen in the final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dribbles from a right or left-back position for the Cityzens . That is why Manchester City should look to replace him as a regular starter in the upcoming summer transfer window , which is what they may be doing with their reported interest in a defender from Italy . According to reports in France , Manchester City are eyeing up a deal to sign Nicolo Savona from Italian giants Juventus ahead of the 2025/26 campaign . The reporter claims that the Premier League giants have verbally agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old full-back , as they look to bolster their options at the back this summer . Mega money deals , controversial moves and big-name flops . This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast . Aouna adds that contract terms have already been discussed between the club and the player , with personal terms now agreed , and that Savona is keen on a move to The Etihad . However , the journalist does not reveal how much Juventus are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City are willing to pay for him to get a deal over the line in the coming weeks or months . He does state , though , that Flamengo defender Wesley Franca and Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento , formerly of Chelsea , are also options to come in at right-back for City in the summer transfer window . This suggests that Savona is just one of a number of targets and that there is no guarantee that they decide to go with him over the others , despite seemingly closing in on a deal to sign the right-back after agreeing personal terms with him . The Italian dynamo could be an excellent addition to the squad if they do decide to go ahead with a swoop for his services , though , because he could be a big upgrade on Rico Lewis . Firstly , Savona has the technical quality and reliability with the ball at his feet to suit playing in a Guardiola team , hence why they are eyeing him up as a target . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Serie A for Juventus this season . The 22-year-old star , who can play as a centre-back in a back three or as a right-back or right wing-back in a four or three-back system , rarely gives the ball away with his passes , which is why he could suit a ball-dominant Manchester City side . However , Savona provides more quality as an attacking threat than Lewis , who is also technically proficient and reliable with the ball , currently does at right-back for Manchester City . As you can see in the table above , the Juventus defender has been more effective as a goalscorer , a creator , and a dribbler at league level this season , despite taking 11 fewer touches per game , in comparison to the English full-back . These statistics suggest that Savona , dubbed an " interesting " player by talent scout Jacek Kulig , could improve his output even further as part of a Manchester City team that would allow him to take more touches of the ball , giving him more opportunities to move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a creator of goals . Savona , who stepped into an advanced position to score against Udinese in the clip above , also provided six assists in 41 games for Juventus at U19 level and five assists in 61 matches for their Next Gen side . Therefore , his form for the Old Lady at youth and senior level suggests that the potential is there for him to arrive at The Etihad as an upgrade on Rico Lewis , who has not offered enough quality on the ball in the Premier League this season . |

A Yes vote would not be accepted as legitimate , but a No vote would be taken as the last word This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . IT is becoming wearisome to read the continuous stream of letters to The National criticising the SNP on the subject of independence without proposing a single practical and workable plan to achieve it . Most suggestions centre around using the Scottish Parliament election or UK General Election as de facto referendums , with a 50%+1 vote for Yes-supporting parties as a means of declaring independence and/or for starting independence negotiations with the UK Government . There are a number of flaws in adopting this approach , some of which are : 1 ) Any independence supporter who votes for a Unionist party is counted as a No voter . For example , I know several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an election but would vote Yes in a referendum . 2 ) There is very little likelihood of a 50% Yes vote in a multi-party election where a government is being elected . To be accurate , every party or individual standing would have to declare in advance if they were Yes or No . 3 ) The UK Government will not accept a Yes result , as it will argue the election was not solely about independence -- and they will be correct . If this came to pass , how would the situation be resolved ? I have yet to see a proposed solution from those supporting this route . However , the UK Government and Unionist parties will embrace a No result as evidence that Scotland has voted No to independence and that the matter is closed for at least a generation . Now , here is my suggested way forward . It could be used at successive elections if at first a Yes majority is not achieved . We are told that we live in a parliamentary democracy , where the party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form a government to make decisions on all relevant policies , irrespective of their total popular vote . Let 's use this system to advance the cause of independence . The SNP and Scottish Greens ( and Alba if they agree ) should make it clear that a Yes majority in the Scottish Parliament after next year 's election is a mandate to hold an independence referendum . That should be the number one item on each party 's manifesto . If the UK Government refuses to " grant " a referendum ( using the 2014 template ) within 90 days of the election , independence-supporting parties should state their intention , in their manifestos , to declare independence and demand that independence negotiations begin , based on the concept of parliamentary democracy . They should then seek international support for their case . I am realistic enough to realise that this could provoke a constitutional crisis . Too bad . As the saying goes , you ca n't make an omelette without breaking the eggs . David Howie Dunblane IS five more years of " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SNP ? Oh dear ! Five more years of convincing the unconvinced in Scotland , we have what it takes to be independent , via SNP competence in government and white papers . A policy that has not been a roaring success at any point in the last decade . My problem with all of this " we need to bring everyone with us , do n't step on the eggshells " approach is that it does not work because no change ever happens without disruption , without upset , without a degree of annoyance , whether you are changing your internet provider or ending the UK parliamentary Union . Mr " Bacon Sandwich " Miliband let the cat out the bag when he stated there would be no regional energy policy as it would increase energy bills in London and the south-east . Now we read about power companies being handed ? 1.6 billion by Labour to build HVDC ( High-Voltage Direct Current ) power lines to take power from Scotland straight to south-east England . Five more years is going to be five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power at Westminster . The reality is we have just over two years to get out of the septic tank that is a Westminster-run UK , a Westminster which only sees Scotland as a cash cow to be sucked dry , leaving the people of Scotland on the hind teat . The wonks and policy nerds at SNP HQ could benefit taking their heads out of polling data they so obsess with to have a breath of fresh air and listen . The people of Scotland have had enough of UK Westminster shenanigans . They do not want a Reform UK government , Labour have once more dumped on them from a great height . There is an anger in Scotland that the SNP should be tapping into , not running away from . Leadership is having the gumption of knowing when to strike and where , because those you lead are ready and willing to take action . Leadership is having the courage to make your aim clear and your plans as definitive as you can . Most of all , leadership is about taking the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see none of that from " Honest John " or an SNP HQ which is long on telling the membership : " We can nae go an dae thon , it 's naw allowit . ' Peter Thomson Kirkcudbright ON the bus into town , I picked up a Metro newspaper -- the puzzles are good ! However , the glaring headline , " Bishop blasts ' state suicide service ' vote " , was incredibly distressing . Has Bishop John Keenan truly read the Assisted Dying Bill ? MSPs of every party conducted the debate with the respect it most certainly deserved . Keenan 's response was appalling and not remotely helpful . Perhaps he would gain clearer insight by speaking to Liam McArthur MSP , who has spent a massive amount of time listening to so many folk . He would offer a listening ear to the Bishop , I believe .

We are told that we live in a parliamentary democracy , where the party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form a government to make decisions on all relevant policies , irrespective of their total popular vote . Let 's use this system to advance the cause of independence . The SNP and Scottish Greens ( and Alba if they agree ) should make it clear that a Yes majority in the Scottish Parliament after next year 's election is a mandate to hold an independence referendum . That should be the number one item on each party 's manifesto . If the UK Government refuses to " grant " a referendum ( using the 2014 template ) within 90 days of the election , independence-supporting parties should state their intention , in their manifestos , to declare independence and demand that independence negotiations begin , based on the concept of parliamentary democracy . They should then seek international support for their case . I am realistic enough to realise that this could provoke a constitutional crisis . Too bad . As the saying goes , you ca n't make an omelette without breaking the eggs . David Howie Dunblane IS five more years of " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SNP ? Oh dear ! Five more years of convincing the unconvinced in Scotland , we have what it takes to be independent , via SNP competence in government and white papers . A policy that has not been a roaring success at any point in the last decade . My problem with all of this " we need to bring everyone with us , do n't step on the eggshells " approach is that it does not work because no change ever happens without disruption , without upset , without a degree of annoyance , whether you are changing your internet provider or ending the UK parliamentary Union . Mr " Bacon Sandwich " Miliband let the cat out the bag when he stated there would be no regional energy policy as it would increase energy bills in London and the south-east .

Five more years is going to be five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power at Westminster . The reality is we have just over two years to get out of the septic tank that is a Westminster-run UK , a Westminster which only sees Scotland as a cash cow to be sucked dry , leaving the people of Scotland on the hind teat . The wonks and policy nerds at SNP HQ could benefit taking their heads out of polling data they so obsess with to have a breath of fresh air and listen . The people of Scotland have had enough of UK Westminster shenanigans . They do not want a Reform UK government , Labour have once more dumped on them from a great height . There is an anger in Scotland that the SNP should be tapping into , not running away from . Leadership is having the gumption of knowing when to strike and where , because those you lead are ready and willing to take action . Leadership is having the courage to make your aim clear and your plans as definitive as you can . Most of all , leadership is about taking the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see none of that from " Honest John " or an SNP HQ which is long on telling the membership : " We can nae go an dae thon , it 's naw allowit .

However , the glaring headline , " Bishop blasts ' state suicide service ' vote " , was incredibly distressing . Has Bishop John Keenan truly read the Assisted Dying Bill ? MSPs of every party conducted the debate with the respect it most certainly deserved . Keenan 's response was appalling and not remotely helpful .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Brexited') + V1 ('out of') + NP object ('joining those sleek and smugly fast-moving airport queues'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, as it implies that Brexit has prevented people from joining the fast-moving airport queues. The verb 'Brexited' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically', fitting the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'joining those sleek and smugly fast-moving airport queues' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Lauren S ? nchez 's Parisian hen do -- thrown in advance of her marriage to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos , the world 's second richest man -- was a celebrity-spattered extravaganza of Instagrammable excess , featuring myriad outfit changes , acres of heaving , honeyed cleavage ( it really was very booby ; I 'm consequently assuming breasts are making a comeback ? ) , and four and a half thousand pounds ' worth of crystal-encrusted handbag shaped like the Eiffel Tower . Katy Perry -- last seen returning to Earth after going into space on board Bezos 's Blue Origin rocket -- was there ( " she 's well in , eh ? " as a friend remarked ) , as was Kim Kardashian ( fresh from giving evidence , in a trial running in the same city , against the man accused of holding a gun to her head in a hotel room before stealing $10 million worth of her jewels ) .

The chosen filter was Inkwell . Black and white . Classy . Festivities kicked off last Thursday evening , when the group swanned off to Lafayette for a dinner incorporating starters of fried chicken , Caesar salad and Norwegian smoked salmon , and a main of mushroom rigatoni and roasted chicken . Given that they are , to a woman , in extraordinary nick , we can only speculate on how much any of them actually ate . On Friday they cruised the Seine on a boat , drinking champagne and dancing . On Saturday I do n't actually know what they did . Point is : Sanchez 's Eiffel Tower handbag -- ? 4,500 , you know ! And oh ! What fun , eh ? Sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mega-moneyed indulgence , one that , in essence , is nothing if not testament to how very , very much a handful of people have ; how ready they are to waste it on utter nonsense and people who ca n't possibly really be their friends ( can they ? ) .

Ask : how much real good might have been done with the tens ( hundreds ? ) of thousands of pounds frittered on this one event , not to mention the ? 5 million that will go on the wedding itself ( Venetian open-air theatre ; Elton John and Lady Gaga to perform ) . As the Sunday Times Rich List simultaneously details the gazillions ferreted away by so few , I should at least be quite cross on my own behalf , cos all I seem to be doing these days is working harder and harder for slightly less than I got last week .

It does n't make me jealous , or outraged , or despairing ; it just makes me laugh . It 's like gaudy performance art . Or cartoons . It 's certainly mesmerising in its gilded preposterousness . There 's definitely a point , is n't there , where money corrupts a person 's taste , so that it no longer has the latitude to be any good . I suppose the impulse to just stick more gold stuff on eventually obliterates taste . That 's always nice to behold : you ca n't look away because it 's too hilarious and shiny , but at the same time you do not want it for yourself , good Lord , no !

Which means Lauren S ? nchez 's hen do is probably a lot more fun to look at and read about than it was if ( God help you ) you were actually there . Another thing I 'm supposed to be furious about but am not , sorry , is the government 's Brexit reset , which has been called a " slow undoing " , " a surrendering " , a " sleepwalking towards free movement " .

Durham is home to one of Europe 's greatest light festivals ( Image : Getty ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Durham is officially one of the happiest places to live in Britain , thanks to its " genuine friendliness " and , of course , " world-class heritage " . The historical North East city was unveiled as one of the cheeriest hotspots , alongside York , according to new research by The Guardian . It was just one of three areas in the North of England to make the newly announced list . Durham was hailed for its " wealth of places to eat and drink " as well as being home to the nation 's " finest " cathedral ( and these were only a few of the high-ranking factors ) . The publisher explained about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work out the happiest places for Guardian readers , easy access to countryside and parks , sea , lakes and rivers were high on the list of ingredients , as studies have shown that getting out and about in nature can help improve your mood .

These sets of data , together with information about air quality , were contributed to by the Geographic Data Science Lab at the University of Liverpool . " The things that make life easier are also likely to lead to a happier life . For this reason , n we included broadband speeds , marking areas down where , according to Ofcom , they were below 30MB . " We thought about transport , and what could take some of the strain out of travelling . Our measure of this was how far you could get on public transport within half an hour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without a car . And we included crime figures . " The Guardian also looked at " importance of culture and community " and gave " extra weight " to these factors , " as measured by proximity to cinemas , theatres and museums , pubs and libraries , using data from sources including the Food Standards Agency , and various industry reports and listings websites " . It added : " Our lengthy initial list was the basis for discussion , research and on-the-ground reporting . Out of that came our pick of places that generally scored highest as happy places to live . " Take a look at the happiest places to live in England , Wales and Scotland online . The Guardian praised : " There 's something about its pocket size , genuine friendliness , wealth of places to eat and drink , and world-class heritage .

It 's a place you enter for the first time and your jaw quietly drops . " It continued : " The cathedral was used in Avengers : Endgame , along with Durham castle , but it is as a backdrop to the Harry Potter films for which it is best known on the big screen . It has become something of a pilgrimage destination for Potterheads who will instantly recognise that the Chapter House was Professor McGonagall 's classroom in the first two films , the place where young students transfigured animals into goblets . The cloister walkways were also used for scenes of Harry , Ron and Hermione walking between lessons . " The annual Durham miners ' gala ( known as the Big Meeting ) was also given a shoutout and is said to offer " an explosion of belonging " . The publisher said : " Held on the second Saturday in July , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of community , international solidarity , and working-class life ' , typically attracting more than 200,000 people . County Durham 's pits might be long gone but the blaze of banners , brass bands and speeches is still going strong . " Also putting Durham on the map is the Lumiere - one of Europe 's greatest light festivals , " a biennial free event which transforms the city into a living outdoor art gallery and attracts huge crowds " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get an absolute kick out of having the Doctor as his puppet' involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'an absolute kick', and 'out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The first thing you need to know about post-credits villain reveal at the end of " The Interstellar Song Contest " is that it 's hilarious . When Mrs Flood stepped out of that cryogenic chamber and was revealed to be the Rani , you had one of two reactions . Either " Who ? " or a groan that shook the light fittings . Let 's go back a bit . Season six , Matt Smith 's second season as the Eleventh Doctor . From " The Impossible Astronaut " onwards , Amy keeps seeing a mysterious woman with an eyepatch and big shoulder pads . " Is that the Rani ?

" Could Moffat by bringing the Rani back for real ? " fan asked one another . " She really does seem like his type ...

A Time Lady who has used a chameleon arch to wipe her memory and appear human . She wears red . She has a chain with the initial " R " on it , could it be ... could it really be ... ? It turns out to be an as-yet-unseen previous incarnation of the Doctor .

Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expects it to be the Rani , and her chances of coming back diminished still further with the introduction of Michelle Gomez 's Missy , allow the Master to pull double duty for male and female evil Time Lords . The Rani is a third tier villain at best , a camp joke with only two TV stories to her name ( Three if you could the despised and discarded " Dimensions in Time " Children in Need special ) , neither of them turning up in anyone 's all-time favourites list . Those stories are " The Mark of the Rani " , a two-parter historical where she teams up with the Master , and " Time and the Rani " , Sylvester McCoy 's introductory story . And yet , if you watch those stories , you will see that ( without wanting to anger any homicidal goatee aficionados ) , she is potentially the most dangerous Evil Time Lord the Doctor 's faced yet . The big difference becomes obvious when you watch " The Mark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Master . Because let 's be honest , the Master 's never really wanted to conquer the universe . Like Missy says to Clara in " The Magician 's Apprentice " , for the Doctor and the Master , trying to kill each other is just their version of texting . Creating grand , over-elaborate schemes for universal domination is simply the Master 's love language . When the Master 's arch nemesis is found by the Time Lords , stripped of his ability to travel and marooned on a primitive little planet well out of the way of galactic civilisation , does the Master use this as an opportunity to finally take over the rest of the Galaxy without interference ? No , he rushes straight to planet Earth and starts tugging on the Doctor 's pigtails . Ad Ad -- content continues below In " The Mark of the Rani " , his and the Rani 's priorities are clear .

When she runs into the Doctor again in " Time and the Rani " , she quickly captures and takes advantage of a discombobulated post-regeneration Doctor so she can use his genius to finish her plan . But while the Master would get an absolute kick out of having the Doctor as his puppet , the Rani spends her time irritated and impatient with the whole thing . So , if she 's been following the Doctor around time and space for a while , we can trust that this is about more than vengeance . The Master might go through Time and Space , building a virtual afterlife to create a Cyberman army to give the Doctor as a present while screaming " Notice me ! " , but that is not the Rani 's style . With the titles of the final two-parter , " Wish World " and " The Reality War " , we can safely guess that the destruction of planet Earth is merely a byproduct on the way to conquering reality itself . But there is an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Rani Our first real clue to the identity of the Rani is when she starts regenerating . But this is not just any regeneration . Whatever happened to make the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctor 's " bi-regenerate " in " The Giggle " , it seems to have had wider repercussions , because as the Rani regenerates she splits into two . Now what 's interesting here is that normally in any multi-incarnation Time Lord encounter , there is an established dynamic . Namely , bickering . Put Missy and the Master , or any two given Doctors in a room and they will be immediately start sniping at each other in an attempt to assert dominance . That and maybe flirting a bit .

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Ipswich Town lost 2-0 at Leicester City yesterday . Stuart Watson reflects on the action . The Premier League icon had a steely-eyed look during hyped pre kick-off build-up that involved huge banners unfurled from the roof of the stands , every home fan waving a ' thank you Vardy ' flag and Kasabian turned up full volume . Some typically clever movement and a cool reverse finish saw the 38-year-old bag his 200th goal for the club in what was his 500th and final appearance . The celebration was even more fitting . Instead of enjoying his big moment with those that adore him , he hoisted the corner flag aloft and held a prolonged , intense stare into the away end . " I missed a couple before that but once JJ ( Justin James ) put me through there I was never going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an emotional on-pitch interview afterwards . " Obviously getting the dogs ' abuse from the away fans up there , there was only one place I was going . " Jack Clarke 's final third slip led to Leicester breaking the deadlock . ( Image : Ross Halls ) GOALS AGAINST Vardy 's big moment came after Jack Clarke 's final third slip turned into a rapid counter . Attack quickly turning to a goal against happened against Arsenal and Newcastle recently too . Leicester 's killer second , in the 69th minute , was a culmination of errors . Not being tight enough in midfield allowed a pass through the line . Leif Davis was guilty of getting drawn inside . Alex Palmer then gets beaten at his near post . The latter , after a superb start to life with the Blues following a January switch , has had a few questionable moments in recent weeks . Ipswich were always going to concede a decent number of goals this season given the level of opposition . Too many times , however , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ class play . That 's been frustrating in the extreme . Omari Hutchinson spurned two golden chances for Ipswich in the latter stages of the first half . ( Image : Ross Halls ) CHANCES MISSED Another major reason why Town have struggled to pick up anywhere enough points this season has been a lack of ruthlessness . The Blues had 20 shots and 31 touches inside the opposition box in this game but only forced the goalkeeper into one meaningful save . Leif Davis , who was back to his attacking best on his return to the side after a three-game ban , smacked the near post early on and had a close-range finish disallowed for a tight offside late on . Omari Hutchinson spurned two golden opportunities towards the end of the first half . On both occasions he fired well over from good positions inside the box . Jack Clarke did n't quite pull the trigger quick enough on a couple of occasions . Julio Enciso did n't have his shooting boots on either , dragging two efforts well wide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Broadhead fired wide on the edge of the six-yard box too . Julio Enciso runs away from Wilfred Ndidi . ( Image : Ross Halls ) TOO MANY INDIVIDUALS Lone striker Hirst had just eight touches during his 71 minutes on the field . A big reason for that , I felt , was that the three in behind him - Hutchinson , Enciso and Clarke - all played a bit too much for themselves rather than the team . The trio all had exciting , skilful moments that drew fouls and created openings . They also all had several frustrating moments where they were guilty of tunnel vision and trying to beat one man too many . Every team needs an X-Factor ' can make something out of nothing ' player or two . Having three dribblers in the same side is arguably reckless . Town have undoubtedly missed the attacking variety of a straight line speedster on the right like Wes Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene , plus a tenacious , last shoulder , penalty box sniffer like Sammie Szmodics . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacking balance next season . George Hirst and Dara O'Shea , pictured after the final whistle . ( Image : Ross Halls ) STAYING BALANCED Ipswich are down to 19th . If they are to leapfrog back above Leicester and finish the best of the bottom three then they 'll need to beat West Ham at home on the final day and hope that the Foxes lose at Bournemouth . There 's no getting away from it , even with the sizeable caveat of a crippling injury list , the second half of this Premier League campaign has been desperately disappointing . In 2025 , the league form reads : P18 W1 D4 L13 F17 A46 . We all hoped the Blues would learn and grow over the course of this season , finishing stronger than they started . Instead , confidence has drained and mistakes have been repeated . Just because ' the journey ' back to the Premier League was magical , it does n't mean the **25;359;TOOLONG are immune from criticism for aspects of the way this campaign has unravelled . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few eyes rolling , I do honestly believe that a healthy dose of perspective is still required . It 's important to remember that Ipswich were major underdogs in the Championship promotion fight against Leicester and Southampton . The Blues had just escaped a four-year stay in League One and been away from the top flight for more than two decades , while the Foxes were only two years removed from an FA Cup triumph and the Saints had just had more than a decade straight at the top table of English football . Ipswich , it 's easy to forget , were played off the park in spells of all four games against those two but managed to come away with eight points from a possible 12 thanks to last-gasp goals in three of the meetings . This season , although only claiming two points from the same fixtures , the Blues have clearly closed the gap in terms of general play . Both games against Leicester and the home game against Southampton could easily have gone the other way . And it 's generally accepted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now . Losing repeatedly hurts , I get it . You can learn more in defeat than victory though . Let 's all hope that 's the case for a group that , let 's remember , are virtually all new to this level .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where someone walked out of training due to pain, but there is no NP object or VP2[-ing] predicate involved in the construction. The phrase 'walked out of training' is a simple intransitive use of 'walk out' with 'training' as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

THE spectacle of Nigel Farage and his Reform Party -- a gaggle of Little Englanders swaddled in the moth-eaten rags of empire -- offers a masterclass in the pornography of nationalism . Here is a man who has made a lucrative career out of peddling nostalgia for a Britain that never existed , a green and pleasant land unspoiled by the inconvenience of foreigners , modernity , or self-awareness .

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'out of visiting Greggs for a steak bake and an iced doughnut' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Greggs is a great British success story . The ever-popular bakery chain provides good-quality ( if , admittedly , rarely healthy ) treats for millions of satisfied Britons .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'convicted criminals' is the subject, 'can opt' is the verb phrase, and 'out of attending their own sentencing' is the complement. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the hassle out of dressing every day' involves an NP ('the hassle') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'dressing' modifies 'every day' rather than functioning as a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

On one hand , it 's a vital tool for communicating with colleagues and PRs at work . Without it , I literally would n't be able to do my job . In my personal life , I rely on it for basically all of my online accounts , plus regular booking confirmations and several newsletters . Yet at the same time , email is also a major source of stress in my life . All this managing , sending and replying can be incredibly draining and time-consuming . And do n't get me started on my compulsive email checking during almost any moment of downtime . That 's why Google Gemini 's new features within Gmail are so exciting to me . Combined , they could transform my email experience , freeing me up to focus on what really matters . For a while now , Gmail has offered a selection of underwhelming responses when replying to an email . I do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good ! " does n't really cut it when someone has sent you a 200-word invite . What you really need is something that actually sounds like you , which is where ' Personalized smart replies ' come in . Not only can it generate a response with a tone and vocabulary that match how you commonly , but it can also draw on other content to make it even more useful . If there 's a useful nugget of information in a past email or file within Google Drive , Gemini can ( in theory ) find and seamlessly weave it into the copy . Google Of course , what Gemini generates might not be quite right , so you can continue tweaking to find something that 's just right . But even doing this about 20 times is probably quicker than trying to craft the perfect email from scratch . I can see myself using this all the time , whether it 's to politely decline an invitation or ask for something in a way that does n't sound rude or aggressive . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , my personal email accounts are always overflowing with clutter . I make a concerted effort to keep things under control at work , but all hell breaks loose elsewhere . For context , I currently have over 7000 unread emails , and that 's a lot better than it once was . The process of actually sorting through them feels totally overwhelming . But Gemini 's ' Inbox cleanup ' is here to save me . As the name suggests , it can help you manage emails via a simple command . Think deleting all emails from a specific sender or removing unread ones that were received before a certain date . Currently , the process of making appointments is often a challenge . Unless the provider is using a dedicated app , I either have to call them or have a long , drawn-out back-and-forth conversation via email to find a suitable time . But Gemini 's appointment scheduling feature makes life much easier . Any time you 're trying to set up a meeting via email , it 'll prompt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full availability , directly within the body of the email . When someone wants to book , it can all be done via the form , allowing for a convenient time that suits everyone . I can only hope that lots of businesses adopt this feature -- it 'd take a lot of stress out of making appointments . However , there 's a big catch . To access these and all other premium Google Workspace features , you 'll need to pay at least ? 7.99/$9.99 per month or ? 79.99/$99.99 per year for a Google One Premium subscription . Additional perks such as 2TB of cloud storage , Nest Aware , and Fitbit Premium make it impressive value for money for the right person . Could that be me ? It all depends on how well these features actually work to reduce the amount of time and energy I currently spend on email .

Ahead of Wednesday 's Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United , the Sports Mole team picks their winner . Debates will rage over whether the trophy or the spot in the Champions League is more important , but the only fact that matters is that Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United want both . One of the Premier League 's two major under-achievers this season will be crowned Europa League champions at the San Mames Stadium on Wednesday evening , as this year 's second-tier continental competition concludes with the sixth all-English men 's UEFA final . The significance of success for both Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou can not be overstated after disastrous Premier League campaigns , but as the old cliche goes , form flies out of the window in cup finals . Here , the Sports Mole team predicts who they think will come out on top in Wednesday 's Bilbao blockbuster . Whoever wins on Wednesday , a lot of rival fans are going to lose a lot of comedy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a major European trophy and a spot in next season 's Champions League . Ange Postecoglou would relish in fulfilling his second-season trophy promise and if you 're asking me who I 'd prefer to win , then it 'd have to be Spurs . However , it would be a very Man United thing to go and win this final after such a terrible campaign , and it would be a very Tottenham thing to lose it . Ruben Amorim 's side have proven that they can raise their game for the big occasion and they have generally been quite good in Europe this season , although facing a Premier League side in the final does negate that latter point to a certain extent . It 's a monumental game for both clubs , but I feel Man United might just about have the edge . Man United have defensive concerns heading into the final , but the Red Devils know what it takes to win major trophies , and players such as Casemiro and Fernandes will be crucial for the 20-time English @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fan , I ca n't really go the other way here , and I do have confidence that Amorim will be able to deliver the trophy . It 'll be tight , but the team in red should triumph . Everything is now riding on Europa League success for both clubs who have endured bitterly disappointing domestic campaigns . The magnitude of Wednesday 's final is undeniable , with both silverware and Champions League qualification on the line , but predicting whether Man United or Spurs prevail is not so straightforward . Man United are yet to lose in Europe this season and their history in finals must also be taken into consideration . Influential captain Bruno Fernandes has dragged his team to Bilbao and he has the ability to produce a moment of magic on the biggest stage . The Red Devils continue to look vulnerable at the back , though , and the lack of a prolific centre-forward remains a concern . Spurs are not so watertight in defence either , but they have scored 21 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have had the measure of Ruben Amorim 's men this season , winning home and away in the top flight and also in the EFL Cup , scoring eight goals and conceding only three . Dejan Kulusevski 's injury is a huge blow for Spurs , but Ange Postecoglou 's side still have several players who can cause Man United problems on their day . Whether Spurs turn up for the occasion remains to be seen , but they will arguably have the stronger lineup , on paper , and will feel that United are there for the taking as they endeavour to win their first major trophy in 17 years . Goals at both ends should be expected , but Spurs might just have enough to come out on top . As an ' impartial ' reporter , I will side with the team that have not suffered an injury crisis to their creative options . With no Kulusevski , no Maddison and no Bergvall , Tottenham will likely be reliant on Pedro Porro 's pinpoint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so soon after his recent foot injury . Postecoglou 's attack is arguably still more lethal when the chances come , but whether the chances will actually come is another matter . However , Bruno Fernandes has consistently excelled for the worst Man United side in recent memory and can fashion something out of nothing . One golden opportunity may be all that it takes to separate Wednesday 's competitors , and as Man United are more likely to fashion it , they are more likely to conquer the continent - in the secondary term - in my eyes . While both have suffered through disastrous Premier League campaigns , Tottenham , and Man United had convincing semi-final triumphs in this tournament , and both have a decent shot to lift this trophy .

As correct as Ruben Amorim is in his assessment of his club 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comforting thought for his players to have a boss so brutally honest . Ange Postecoglou 's messages at Tottenham have n't been well received either , but his group do n't seem quite as tired physically and emotionally from what 's been a rough campaign . Spurs have been the better side overall in this competition and have many more contributors to call upon , so I believe they will break their long trophy drought and give their supporters something to smile about at long last . Neither Tottenham Hotspur nor Manchester United have pulled up trees this season , but that is not new information . The Red Devils have lost three consecutive games against Spurs this season , with two losses following Ruben Amorim 's arrival ; however , the absence of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski , who have contributed six and four goals during the London club 's run to the continental decider , could hinder Ange Postecoglou 's team . United 's losing streak against Spurs can not continue in perpetuity , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Londoners losing two capable attackers , could see Amorim 's men edge the final in Bilbao . With the stakes unbearably high for both teams , Wednesday 's Europa League final clash is sure to be a tense affair , though , Tottenham Hotspur have already beaten Manchester United three times this season . Spurs are dealing with a number of injuries to key stars and it is difficult to see them keeping a clean sheet , but Ange Postecoglou could lead the Londoners to glory . Given both coaches ' approach , there is the potential for chaos in this season 's final , where league form will go out of the window . In fact , it might take several goals and extra time to separate two clubs in crisis , as neither side is defensively sound . They both have so much riding on the outcome , but United - who took a tougher route to Bilbao - are unbeaten in Europe so far and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so their long wait for silverware will go on . |

The given sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a clear NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'take the stress out of moving' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit the semantic criteria of the construction.

Anstruther-born Clare Meldrum has moved home no fewer than eight times in her adult life , to Dundee and then all over Fife . Being hyper-organised she never found moving home stressful -- but noticed that others did . " I 've always been ridiculously organised , " she says . " I live in Kirkcaldy now . The guy I bought the house from only moved one street away and he said the move was the most stressful day of his life . I was so organised that I had my nails done and a massage the evening before I moved . " Clare was so organised she had a massage the day before she moved home . Image : Steve MacDougall/DC Thomson It dawned on Clare that the effortless ease with which she could up sticks and move could be turned into a business . " I kept a notebook for each move with everything I needed to do in it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starting my business I gathered all the notebooks together and made a ' how to ' on moving home . " I thought I would write a ' dummy 's guide to moving house ' people could use but then it just snowballed a bit and ended with me setting up a business . " In spring last year Clare , 43 , set up the Home Move Planner . The business covers everything from house moves to moving into a care or assisted living home and helping manage the estates of people 's loved ones once they 're gone . Clare runs her business around a full time job as a project manager in the diabetes technology sector . " I work from home which makes it easier to work evenings and weekends on the business , " she says . " My work have been really supportive and flexible . I 'm hoping to move to a nine-day fortnight which will give me that little bit of extra time to build my business . Clare takes the stress out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ At the moment I 've no social life . All I do is work in my job and on my business but that 's okay because I love it . " One of the most sensitive aspects of Clare 's work is the bereavement services she offers . When someone passes away she is often brought in to help clear out a home that might contain a lifetime of memories . " You 're seeing people at the worst time of their life and they have to clear out their loved one 's house , " she says . A rare -- and tiny -- copy of Romeo and Juliet is among the items Clare has uncovered . Image : Clare Meldrum . " Often they 'll say they 're ready then they 'll open the wardrobe , get a whiff of their mum 's perfume , and say they ca n't do it . I 'll be there to help support and encourage them . " Photos are the biggest thing . If they find a photo album they 've got to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep quietly working away in the background while they do that . " I also help simplify things where I can . The photograph might have sentimental value but if the frame does n't it can go and you 've made packing easier . " Another challenge can be where grieving relatives live far away : " You have situations where someone has passed away and some of the relatives live down south , or abroad , " Clare says . " I 'll organise Zoom calls so everyone can help with going through the belongings and make sure nothing of note gets thrown away . " I 've seen myself holding a wooden spoon in front of the screen and asking , are you sure this has sentimental value ? " Frequently Clare comes across items of either sentimental or monetary value that were thought to have been lost years ago . A ticket to the Queen 's coronation is among the lost items Clare has found . Image : Clare Meldrum . " I was helping clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ring that had been lost for 20 years . In another home we found a ticket to the Queen 's Coronation in 1953 . " Clare does n't do any of the heavy lifting herself : " I 've got removal companies and house clearance companies that I work with . I 'll bring in cleaners . " I can also bring in auction houses to help sell anything valuable . And I hate waste so I 'm always looking at what can be recycled and what can go to charity . " There was a clearance I was doing recently where there was a Raleigh bike in the garage . The owners were going to throw it out but it can go to charity and a child will get lots of use out of it . " Another job I did was for the family of a lady who had passed away . She 'd had cancer and had lots of beautiful wigs which went to charity . In her career she was an executive and she had lots of pristine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smart clothes for homeless people to wear to job interviews . " A 100-year old blazer that 's going up for auction . Image : Clare Meldrum . Clare was shortlisted in the Young Business category for the Fife Chamber Awards , which took place on Friday . For her the most rewarding thing about her business is not the awards or the money . " The most rewarding aspect is when you 're working with people who 've been through loss and you really get to know the family . You end up sitting and crying with them . " 1 . Start Early Begin planning as soon as your move is confirmed . A clear timeline helps reduce stress and keeps you on track . 2 . Declutter Before You Pack Only take what you truly need or love .

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Nintendo ) Mario Kart 8 is , perhaps , the finest example of the supremely popular Mario Kart series . It 's also a deeply weird one -- which is good , because otherwise I would n't have too much to write about . It first came out on the Wii U , way back in 2014 . To put it in perspective , that puts it both 11 years from 2025 and the release of Mario Kart : Double Dash . Yes , I get a perverse joy out of spooking people out with the passage of time . It was a strong showing on the Wii U , but that console being what it was , meant that not many people got to experience it . Oh , sure , it sold over a million copies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's general unpopularity meant that not many people got to experience it . I remember that the rerelease on the Switch a whole three years later was a controversial move , but in the long run , it turned out to be the right one . When I grabbed a Switch in 2020 , battling my way through lockdown scalpers , Mario Kart 8 was top of the list of my most-wanted games . If you play games , there 's a significant chance that you understand why . Mario Kart is constantly wheeled out ( pun only slightly intended ) at gatherings , and it 's a perfect party game . I 'd argue that it 's a much better party game than something like Smash Bros. , which while easy to get into , can be more difficult to intuitively understand . We all know what racers are like . The game 's Switch version would have remained a fantastic game , but more of a stopgap installment , were it not for the additional tracks that started hitting with the game 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course of 2022 and 2023 , added a whole host of classic Mario Kart tracks from across the series ' history . They include city tracks from Mario Kart Tour , the Mario Kart Wii 's horrifically tough Rainbow Road , DK Mountain from Double Dash , and my all-time favorite Mario Kart circuit , Coconut Mall , from the Wii . This cartload of content , which would have been more than enough for any single game , was added to an already 48 courses , giving us a total of 96 courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe . If you want to play a Mario Kart game in the year of our Luigi 2025 , there 's little reason to play anything else . If you 're a motion controls sicko , you 're still catered to as well , much to my chagrin , so even the venerable Mario Kart Wii , a staple of my student flat , can be retired . ( Image credit : Nintendo ) Ever since I picked up Mario Kart 8 and its DLC , it feels like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably played every course in the game at least once , but that does n't really matter much , as by the time you 've finished rotating your way through them all , in 50-200cc karts , the first tracks will feel fresh again . Above all else , Mario Kart 8 feels like a love letter to the entire series , or a greatest hits album . The new tracks are all fun , but it 's in the revisits to old favorites , like Coconut Mall , my beloved , that really sell the game to me . Older games in the series have featured tracks from previous games , but never in such numbers . It is the essential Mario Kart game .

This seems like a ne plus ultra , so what can the next Mario Kart game do to not feel overly fluffy and inessential in comparison ? With Mario Kart World announced as a launch title for the Switch 2 , I feel that it will need to build on Mario Kart 8 rather than try to replace it . This could , for instance , involve integrating the DLC tracks from Mario Kart 8 into Mario Kart World as bonus stages . Otherwise there 's the possibility that World will feel barebones ( I nearly wrote Dry Bones ) in comparison , regardless of its open world features . Until we try out the game 's open world and see just how substantial the new additions are , I ca n't say whether Mario Kart World will be able to replace the previous installment or not . One thing we can say for certain , though , is that if you own a Switch , you absolutely need to own a copy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essential as The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild , Animal Crossing : New Horizons , or Super Mario Odyssey .

A sister who believes her beloved brother did n't get the medical care he deserved is calling for more support to be given to recovering addicts while in hospital . Jamie Smith , who lived in Cambridge for several years , died aged 35 on April 22 . Originally from London , Jamie was described as a " funny " man with a " great sense of humour " by his sister Charley Smith , 31 . " He loved things like wrestling and South Park . He had quite a way with words and could make something out of nothing , " Charley said . However , Charley said Jamie had his " struggles " and turned to drugs in his teenage years . She said : " He had mental health issues , ADHD and Asperger 's . " He had quite a rubbish childhood and eventually turned to drugs . He was smoking weed and other stuff and it eventually got worse . " About 10 to 15 years ago , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up in Cambridge on the streets . I know he was quite well-known in Cambridge . He did n't know how to deal with the demons in his head . His way of dealing with it was drugs . " Jamie Smith ( Image : Charley Smith ) In June 2024 , Jamie became sober after his health started to suffer . Over the next few months , he spent time in several hospitals , including Addenbrooke 's Hospital , Royal Papworth Hospital and West Suffolk Hospital . He was treated for several health problems , including heart problems . While at Papworth , he underwent open heart surgery . During his time in hospital , Charley and other family members believe Jamie was not treated fairly . Charley said : " Jamie in our eyes had n't received the proper and appropriate care . He was a difficult patient because he did n't understand a lot of things , which made him feel trapped . " He was given information which he could n't understand which made him shout and be aggressive . My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ADHD . " He was discharged to our mum 's home from Papworth because he felt trapped . Around three to five days after his surgery he was escorted to his mum 's car , put in the car , and she was just given a leaflet . " My disabled mum cared for him up to his death with no emotional support . He was given no aftercare , drug support , or any kind of support . " During his stay in hospital , Charley also claims there were times Jamie was left in sweat-soaked bed sheets . " We feel like they did n't want to help him , " said Charley . She added : " Jamie was just an addict to them , a drug addict who just wanted a fix . " Charley has launched a petition , which already has over 21,000 signatures , demanding that the Department of Health and Social Care integrate more care models into the hospital system to help people recovering from addiction . " I did n't think Jamie was the perfect angel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Charley said . She added : " Jamie was so unwell in the end . I want the system to change . I want there to be courses for nurses , doctors and health professionals on how to deal with addiction and the kind of help they need to give them . There are many like Jamie who suffered . " It is not just one person , it 's a whole system that is failing people . There is going to be no change unless people like me and you do something . " Jamie only stayed in Addenbrooke 's Hospital for a short time and the family did not have any concerns about his treatment there . They were not happy with how he was treated at Papworth and West Suffolk Hospital . The West Suffolk Hospital Foundation Trust said it would not provide a statement . However , a spokesperson said : " The trust has already been in touch with the family to make arrangements for a meeting to discuss their concerns . " The Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said the trust " encouraged the family to get in touch " . A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said it passes on its " deepest sympathies " to Jamie 's family . The spokesperson added : " Everyone is entitled to high quality healthcare , regardless of their background or history . " This government is committed to ensuring that anyone with a drug dependency can access the help and support they need . We are providing a total of ? 310 million this year to improve drug and alcohol treatment services and recovery support in England , including housing and employment . " The department works with partners across health , policing and wider public services to try and reduce drug use in Britain . Tackling stigma is also part of its action plan to reduce the number of drug and alcohol related deaths . |

The sentence 'Ford was able to talk her out of embarking on a massive and unorthodox tour for her upcoming album' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It has a prevention interpretation, where Ford prevents Miley Cyrus from embarking on the tour. The verb 'talk' is used as a means of verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'her' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'embarking on a massive and unorthodox tour'. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'got out of' followed by a noun phrase 'hairstyling after 34 years', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

According to Sarah , it 's not a matter of snipping too much or choosing the wrong toner - it 's what a client says when settling in for their appointment . The dreaded phrase is : ' My old hairdresser used to do it like this . ' For some stylists , it 's an innocuous comment . For others , it 's a ' red flag ' . As Sarah explains , it can spark an immediate internal reaction and cause you to think : ' I 'm not your old hairdresser . ' Suddenly , they 're in a head-to-head comparison with someone they 've never met . Hairdresser Sarah Louise Tyne has revealed that stylists ca n't stand it when clients say : ' My old hairdresser used to do it like this ' The video has resonated with stylists across the app , many of whom admit they 've faced the same situation . As the poster notes , it 's not necessarily the client 's fault . They may have lost their favourite stylist to relocation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Still , the phrase often unintentionally sets the tone for tension . ' You feel like you 're in a competition to be better than a hairdresser that you 've never even met , ' she says in the video , describing the uncomfortable position of having to live up to someone else . Rather than spiralling into frustration , however , she offers a diplomatic approach . The TikToker outlines three ways stylists can navigate this delicate dynamic with grace . First , she jokes stylists ' could get really a**ey and say " Well go back to them then " . ' Instead , she encourages reframing the conversation : ' Rather than showing me how your old hairdresser used to do your hair , can you show me some images of what you 're hoping to achieve and I 'll see if they will work with your hair type/texture ? ' . When your new client says " My old hairdresser used to do my hair like this " How do you answer/respond ? You could get really arsey and say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Say " Rather than showing me how your old hairdresser used to do your hair , can you show me some images of what you 're hoping to achieve and I 'll see if they ' will work with your hair type/texture . " ? Rather than getting annoyed by the comment say " I appreciate you may be nervous about having your hair done by another hairdresser , but you really are in safe hands " reassure them and help to calm their nerves . ? If it seems that no matter what you do/say nothing seems to reassure/relax and your client continues to say " he/she/they did n't used to do that , it does n't look like - - - - - used to do my hair " The 2 of you just may not me a good match , it happens . Do your best to offer the best possible outcome , and politely explain that you may not be a good fit for each other . How did you handle this situation when it happened to you ? tell me in the comments . **45;273;TOOLONG @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ' I appreciate you may be nervous about having your hair done by another hairdresser , but you really are in safe hands , ' she suggests saying , recognising that the client 's comment may stem from anxiety rather than arrogance . And if nothing seems to bridge the gap , Sarah says : ' If it seems that no matter what you do or say nothing seems to reassure or relax the client and they continue to say ' he/she/they did n't used to do that ' , it does n't look like they used to do my hair ' -- the two of you just may not be a good match . It happens . ' Ultimately , she advises doing your best to offer the most positive result and , if necessary , ' politely explain that you may not be a good fit for each other . ' So the next time you find yourself in the salon chair , perhaps think twice before invoking the ghost of hairdressers past . Other hairdressers took to the comments to leave their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't mind it when a client brings up their old stylist . One person said : ' It crosses the line when they say . My old hairdresser ONLY CHARGED me XYZ . ' Another added : ' I normally ask what they liked about how they did it or I 'll explain why I do it differently . ' Someone else added : ' I do n't see this comment as a problem , if they liked that way I would try to do it the way she wanted . ' While stylists agreed with Sarah , others felt the comment was innocuous and not indicative of an issue To which Sarah replied : ' Totally , but it 's also about establishing a new relationship . Also what if the client is keeping to that style because they 've never been offered anything different ? ' Sarah is not the first of her profession to offer some advice on what to do and , crucially , what not to do when it the stylists seat . Telesa Brown , from Canada @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a client can make . While some tips are obvious , such as arriving on time , others have surprised viewers . One even claimed that Telesa 's points are the ' reasons I got out of hairstyling after 34 years . ' Showing up late or not turning up at all was the first point Telesa gave . She said : ' We get that things happen , but typically , a busy hairstylist has a full day of clients and showing up more than five minutes late affects the rest of the day . ' No shows , I mean come on , obviously we do n't make money with no one in our chair , expect to be charged for this . ' Next , Telesa shocked viewers with the second stylist peeve . She said : ' The second one is showing up to a colour with dirty hair . ' I understand for years , hairstylists were telling you to do this ; it 's not your fault . But I 'm here to correct it . Hair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best results come with clean hair . ' Before adding : ' Also , it 's gross . ' Telesa also listed showing up sick . She pleaded to her viewers to never show up sick , even if they 've waited for a long time to secure the appointment . The fourth reason Telesa gave was : ' Asking for a completely different appointment than what you were booked for . ' She explained that it 's ' difficult ' to accommodate but hard to say no to as a self-employed stylist .

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

Doctor Who 's leading man Ncuti Gatwa has reportedly been axed by the BBC after two series . According to reports , there is currently no replacement for the beloved Time Lord . The actor has reportedly been fired by the company after he backed out of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest last weekend . The Barbie star , 32 , was due to be the UK 's spokesperson for the event , but was later replaced by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor instead . At the time , the BBC released a statement following his removal . The actor has played the 15th doctor for two years ( Image : BBC Studios/Disney/Bad Wolf/James Pardon ) It read : " Due to unforeseen circumstances , unfortunately Ncuti Gatwa is no longer able to participate as Spokesperson during the Grand Final this weekend .

He is said to have almost completed scripts for series 16 and with stories for the 17th series worked out . Express.co.uk has contacted the BBC and Ncuti 's representatives for a comment . It comes after David Tennant defended the current doctor after receiving harsh criticism from his time in the Tardis . The Scottish actor admitted he feels protective towards the actors who suceeded him , especially Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti . He replied : " These debates - and it 's not even a debate , it 's a small clutch of people shouting very loudly , amplified by certain elements of the press - are not reflective of what most people feel .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'making them up out of nothing', where 'nothing' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Professor Alison Lumsden said the family shared some parallels with Sir Walter Scott in how they interrupted Scottish tradition ( Image : Meet the Buchanans ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A LEADING Sir Walter Scott expert who starred in a documentary which follows the crowning of a millionaire landowner as the first chief of a clan in more than 300 years said parts of the inauguration could be " historically authentic " . Professor Alison Lumsden , a senior lecturer at the University of Aberdeen and co-director of the Walter Scott Research Centre , who featured in the Meet the Buchanans documentary , said there could be " some truth " in the authentication of how the clan 's inauguration was held . The " off-beat " film aims to explore the hidden world of wealth and privilege @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , heritage , and identity are created , as it follows Mike 's family throughout the three-day bash . Lumsden was invited to attend the Clan Buchanan inauguration after Mike 's wife Paula found some old letters from Scott to their family 's ancestors who lived on the Cambusmore Estate , Perthshire . Paula wanted Lumsden to speak about how Scott had depicted Scottish clans in his writing at the celebration . " At first , I kind of was a bit cautious to do that because , to be honest , I was n't quite sure what was involved with the inauguration and what it was about , " Lumsden said . She added : " I said yes , but I wanted to see the letters first . " So , I went to Cambusmore to look at the Scott letters and to get a sense of them so that I could include some of that in the talk that I gave . " Lumsden explained that there was a " clear connection " between the legendary Scottish writer Scott and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a " fair few times " and had written to them as well . She added that Scott ( above ) " may well have " drawn on some inspiration from Cambusmore Estate for his world-renowned narrative poem , Lady of the Lake . Lumsden said that Paula , who is seen in the documentary as the driving force behind the idea of the inauguration , shared some parallels with Scott in how she interrupted Scottish tradition . She said : " I 've worked in academia my whole adult life , and what you do get quite often is ' Scott was just making up things , that he made up this , and then he made up that ' , but none of that is entirely true . " Scott 's not just making up things , he 's drawing on traditions . Lumsden added : " Certainly , he popularises those things , because those things are spread around the world are large due to Scott , but he 's not making them up out of nothing . " And I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that was similar with the Buchanans . " Paula decided to host an inauguration for her husband after reading about how clan chief crowning ceremonies predated the monarchy and were an " amazing " big celebration . After doing more research and with the help from other Buchanans on the other side of the world in Australia , Paula set about trying to authentically recreate as much as she possibly could for the inauguration . Her planning included commissioning a new set of clan jewels , coronet , sword , rod , and even a stone throne for her husband to sit on for the big occasion . ( Image : Meet the Buchanans ) Lumsden said : " I mean , we have no idea what actually happened in the dim and distant past when a chief was made a chief , but Paula was looking at some authorities and accounts of the Highlands that said they sat upon some kind of stone and that something was placed on their head . " So , she was looking at those kinds of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 've got to go on , so this is what we 'll do with it ' . " I think that there is some sort of grain of truth , or actually sometimes there is more than a grain of truth , and then it is how it is interpreted . " Lumsden added : " Scott was often accused of having made up a version of Scotland , and I think that 's a curious concept because it presupposes that somehow there 's a real Scotland out there that we can all agree upon and that Scott 's doing something else . " I 'm always very curious as to know what that real Scotland that we all agree upon is meant to be . " The documentary is now touring across Scotland along with a Q&A panel including the film 's producer and co-director , Barbara Orton , and personalities from local heritage and history groups , and contributors to the film , including Lumsden . ( Image : Meet the Buchanans ) Viewers will witness " tartan-mad " Buchanan enthusiasts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ descend onto the Perthshire estate to take part in the celebration and learn more about their family roots . Orton said that the film delves into how history feeds into establishing traditions , how these traditions feed into establishing a country 's identity , and how this identity is portrayed to the world . The Bafta award-winning producer added that the film shows how people make different interpretations of history and how that results in different traditions being formed . Orton said : " Alison 's contribution contextualises some of the big themes in the film . " It 's exploring how history is made ( up ) , in this case - as ancient sources were in such short supply . " I had come across the ' The Invention of Scotland ' the famous book , by historian Hugh Trevor Roper , his ideas underpinning some of the historical themes in the film for me , which Prof Alison so eloquently explores , while at the same time managing to tie this into the modern search for connection and belonging theme that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Orton ( below ) added : " Paula 's source for the ceremony came from a description of an ' inauguration ' ceremony of Pictish chiefs as the basis for their Clan inauguration ceremony . ( Image : Supplied ) " Found in the book ' The Clans , Septs , and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands ' by Frank Adams . She reads it out from this very book in the film . " The Pictish chief is led by the clan bard to a stone , where he sits . She elaborates it into a modern throne , with their family crest . But who knows where Frank A got his info ?

Manchester United players returned to the Occidental hotel in Bilbao at 1.30am , ready to pull the duvet up and bury their heads under pillows . Luke Shaw sounded as though he was on the verge of tears in the mixed zone . Alejandro Garnacho was the most devastated on the pitch . The players were in their own bubble , as is often the case for defeated finalists . Cristian Romero dared to prick Harry Maguire 's and was barracked by the United defender . Maguire had not forgotten Romero goading him after his own goal against Spurs three years ago . It must be tempting for the penny-pinching Sir Jim Ratcliffe to dispense of Ruben Amorim at no cost after the United head coach 's generous post-match offer . Amorim promised that " if the board and fans feel that I 'm not the right guy , I will go the next day without any conversation about compensation " . In a season of daft decisions at United , Amorim has got in on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Flogging a dead horse in Rasmus Hojlund and like-for-like substitutions . Amorim does not get a free pass in this apocalyptic season . The United fans stopped singing their Amorim chant in the second half . Nothing quite drains matchgoers of a belief that glory days will return like losing a final to Tottenham . United 's end drained quicker than a bathtub . Amorim is unnervingly honest and he is now practically daring United to dispense of him . Amorim 's reputation is not intact though not in tatters , either . He is not the biggest problem at United . The Glazers are immovable yet they have relinquished control of football operations to Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford . Cycling is Brailsford 's wheelhouse , not football . He admitted last year he is " no expert in football " . He went to United and they have not been this bad since relegation in 1974 . What on earth is he doing on the football board of Manchester United ? United 's worst season in 51 years has to be viewed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the decks . Purge the squad . Send Brailsford on his bike . Clive Woodward Mk.II Shaw has been at United for 11 years next month . He questioned afterwards if he was good enough for United . He is n't . He is too injury-prone , too unreliable and , given his years at the club , too long in the tooth . The Sir Matt Busby player of the year statue continues to reside at Bruno Fernandes 's home yet he too has practically dared United to cash in on him . It would be too extreme to say United can not afford to do that . They can . Fernandes has been a brilliant player and is one to keep , but he is not untouchable . He symbolises the team : something out of nothing , hit-and-hope . Fernandes has been involved in three of United 's worst campaigns in living memory . Fernandes has been a loser in two Europa League finals This has to be the most merciless , decisive and objective summer United have ever presided over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year after winning a final , kept a manager they did not want to keep and invested more than ? 200m in the summer . Four of those signings were defensive players . United ended last season on -1 goal difference . It is now -12 . The striker they thought they had signed is not a striker . Joshua Zirkzee was serenaded in San Mames and is a borderline cult figure . He is still not good enough for a United squad to get where they need to be . United are targeting a sixth-place finish next season . Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund , arrivals from Europe 's boot , have to be given the boot . Liam Delap , four days younger , is not the answer just because Jason Wilcox watched him in Manchester City 's academy cash-cow . Delap : is a ' City reject ' the answer up front ? Two different regimes sign two 20-year-old Denmark internationals 18 months apart , thinking they are good enough to start and they are not . Name the club . It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United 's revamped recruitment strategy has had an iffy start . Dorgu , a mid-season recruit , has been overpromoted and started against Spurs by default . Club sources have spoken effusively about Dorgu . They say he is athletic and has fine experience from playing in Serie A. Italy became a dumping ground for English clubs ' cast-offs six years ago . Lecce , the team Dorgu left , could be relegated this weekend . Could United seriously get through a Premier League season with Dorgu and Harry Amass as their left wingers , operating in the role that was Ryan Giggs 's in his Nineties pomp ? The idealistic answer would be yes but realistically , no . Dorgu has been poor for weeks United have to shift Shaw . He has arguably outstayed his welcome by seven years . Jose Mourinho wanted to jettison him in 2018 and was overruled . United have never truly recovered from that summer where Ed Woodward undermined the United manager . The authority of the manager 's position eroded over four more years . Matheus Cunha @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have done his due diligence as he sent Marcus Rashford packing , mainly on account of his attitude . Garnacho is still prone to puerile posts on Instagram . Garnacho is testing United 's patience . In case anyone did not follow him on Instagram , he complained about his bench role in the mixed zone on Wednesday evening . A manager can do without that . Garnacho said United 's season was " s**t " Garnacho puts United in an invidious position . Sell him ( and possibly Kobbie Mainoo ) and back a manager with six wins in 26 Premier League games ? Technical director Wilcox has to lean on Amorim and map out a route to success with Garnacho and Mainoo integral to United 's future . United can be blas ? about Rashford , Antony and Scott McTominay thriving in a change of scenery . It would be different with the 20-year-olds Garnacho and Mainoo . Casemiro had a creditable knockout stage but will be redundant next season . His European form has not transmitted to the Premier League and he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no spring chicken at 24 and does not have the coping mechanisms to anchor the United midfield . Casemiro is redundant next season Amorim has got to be less pragmatic , too . The 3-4-2-1 formation can be flexible but has hitherto been rigid . It is like-for-like substitutions and no shape-shifting . Amorim may plan ahead with substitutions but the opponents can as well . United do not deviate from a back three . Pep Guardiola vowed on Tuesday night he would " quit " Manchester City if he had a large squad foisted onto him . United need a Guardiola-style streamlined squad for a season in which their League Cup campaign begins in August . There are players and personalities to get behind : Fernandes , Garnacho , Mainoo , Amad , Maguire , Leny Yoro , Noussair Mazraoui , Ayden Heaven and Lisandro Martinez when he is fit again . Amorim is consoled by Ratcliffe Free midweeks is often an advantage . Newcastle are Champions League-bound again in a season devoid of European football . Leicester City and Chelsea won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Liverpool almost did in 2014 . When the Glazers left the Occidental , a fan yelled " w*****s " at them . They did not flinch .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a situation where ordinary people are 'locked out of affording a decent home,' which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'locked out of affording a decent home' is more about exclusion from a state or condition rather than the specific construction in question.

North Herefordshire MP Ellie Chowns has said that the government is not doing enough to ensure that enough social and affordable housing is built ( Image : PA ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Government targets on social and affordable housing have come under fire from the MP for North Herefordshire for being " incredibly disappointing " . Ellie Chowns , a Green Party MP , has voiced concerns that the government is not doing enough to ensure that enough social and affordable housing is built . The comments were made on Tuesday ( May 20 ) during a Bill Committee session for the Planning and Infrastructure Bill , where Ms Chowns presented New Clause 3 ( NC3 ) . NC3 , originally put forward by Chris Hinchliff , Labour MP for North East Herefordshire , called for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transparent targets for building affordable and social housing . Also , it proposed accountability for how these targets were determined . However , the proposal was voted down by Labour MPs . Ms Chowns said : " It is incredibly disappointing - and completely counter to Labour 's own stated housebuilding ambitions - that the government should vote against this amendment . " Labour seems to think setting housing targets is essential for total house-building numbers , yet opposes setting targets for building the most affordable types of housing . " According to a recent investigation , from July to December 2024 , only around six per cent of homes that were granted planning permission were designated for social rent . Half of the councils surveyed approved no social housing at all within the period . Greens have said that despite various proofs indicating a shortfall of social housing , plus Labour 's commitment to building 1.5 million homes over the coming parliament , Labour MPs still voted against the amendment . Ms Chowns said : " Without targets for social and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developers carte blanche to build whatever they want , allowing them to continue to make huge profits , while ordinary people will still be locked out of affording a decent home . " This view is shared by Mr Hinchliff , who said : " There is not enough incentive for developers to build the genuinely affordable housing our communities need , so they prioritise the most profitable builds . " We ca n't simply blame environmental protections or the planning process , we have to understand the developer-led model is the problem .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of watching' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a state where fans are unable to watch due to pricing, without the causative element required by the construction.

When it comes to Arsenal Women and their burgeoning support , much has been said and written about attendances . The Women 's Super League ( WSL ) attendance record has been broken eight times since the league 's formation in 2011 and seven of those games have involved Arsenal , all of the top four WSL attendances of all time happened at Emirates Stadium , and their 2024-25 average home attendance ( 28,808 ) is higher than the average home gate for four Premier League teams . A lot of this is down to smart marketing of tickets , drawing on the success of the England Lionesses at Euro 2022 ( four members of that squad played for Arsenal ) . Women 's games have fostered an atmosphere of inclusion , both organically in the stands and with the club 's willingness to showcase its long history of support for the women 's team . The 2006-07 quadruple-winning women 's team are given parity with the men 's " Invincible " team who completed a league season unbeaten in 2003-04 on the stadium 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Photo : Getty ) Arsenal 's long history of prioritising their women 's team gives them an edge over their immediate competition . Just as interesting as the size of the crowds is the distinct fan culture supporters have created , and the swiftness with which they have created it . Arsenal Women match days at the Emirates are a different crowd from men 's games . It 's still just about male dominated but nowhere near to the extent that men 's games are . There are far more families and far more young women . The club themselves recently welcomed The Gay Times to the stadium to write a feature article on how welcoming , even how fashionable , Arsenal Women matches at the Emirates Stadium had become for gay women in particular . Clearly , there is an audience of fans who enjoy football but are either priced out of watching the men 's team , or else who do n't enjoy the more testosterone-fuelled atmosphere . Rachel Major is a long-term match-going fan of the Lionesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's games more socially attuned to female fans . " I have been to a couple of men 's games but have never felt that if I went on my own , I would have someone to talk to , " she says . " Women are more likely to add someone to their friend group for a couple of hours than men , I 've found , and it takes away the fear of being alone at a game . " For a long time , not having friends to go to games with was a big obstacle for fans of women 's football . In men 's football , you are far more likely to have family or friends interested in going to games with , and social bonds are far more easily formed . Women 's football has historically been a far more niche pursuit , simply finding someone else to go to games with is much harder . This is where Arsenal 's supporters ' groups , like the Arsenal Women Supporters Club and other organic supporters ' groups like Red @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a social fabric around matches . They arrange pre-match meetups at home and away games , fan walks to the ground and generally encourage people who might be coming to games alone or are first timers to join them . This has created a strong social scene around games and forged friendships that were previously very difficult to create around women 's football . It has also created a buzz around matches that more and more fans want to be part of . Major says the club have been quick to notice and facilitate this too : " They celebrate large attendances , showing fans on their social media channels . The way the players and staff talk about how important the fans are makes every fan feel like they are appreciated and wanted . " Arsenal supporter Max Radwan , who regularly attends men 's and women 's matches , says the social aspect around games has been critical and has also helped to compose a burgeoning player songbook to boost the atmosphere . A few years ago , individual player chants at women 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ singing or chanting in truth . " This felt fresh and different to what had come before at women 's games , " Radwans says . " I typically just went on my own prior to this . " I was struck by the fact that most of the Arsenal players on the pitch had their own chant . " This also comes across on television and makes fans watching at home more inclined to become part of this movement themselves . Arsenal Women fans feel wanted and part of a community ( Photo : supplied ) Radwan says Arsenal Women 's history makes them easy for fans to back and burnishes them with a sense of an existing folklore largely absent elsewhere in the sport . " The lyrics for the AWFC version of the Allez , Allez , Allez chant acknowledge Arsenal 's past glories such as winning 15 league titles , and being the ' only club in the land ' to be crowned champions of Europe , in reference to 2007 . " I think it is easy as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rich and proud history in the women 's game . " There are distinctions between the culture and atmosphere at the club 's smaller historic home of Meadow Park in Boreham Wood and the Emirates . Max says of the Meadow Park experience : " With everyone crammed onto a terraced stand close to the pitch , the North Bank at Meadow Park is an intimate setting that is conducive to creating a great atmosphere . " Naturally this grass-roots feel borrows aspects of non-league fan culture ( to the extent that our fans even do the " you 're shit , ahhhhh ! " chant ) can not be fully recreated at the Emirates . " Meanwhile , Major , who has attended Arsenal Women games since 2006 , says the Emirates is a preferable environment for female fans in particular . " I think Meadow Park is a great place . The match itself there is a great experience but the travelling to the game , getting home , especially feeling unsafe in the dark and long queues at the food outlet , toilets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ultimately , Arsenal Women 's support have built a culture that takes just enough of the " good bits " from men 's football -- the sense of community , the chanting , the playful swearing delivered without the puce faced zeal -- and repackaged , maybe even reclaimed it in a more inclusive , more sociable setting . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'take the joy out of earning money' where 'earning money' is a gerund phrase modifying 'joy', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee.

From rent and bills to birthdays , brunches , and , of course , weddings , the demands on our wallets -- daily , weekly , and monthly -- can feel relentless . The rising cost of living means more of us are reassessing how we spend , save , and budget , often under the weight of financial anxiety . But an often overlooked aspect of managing our finances is about understanding our unique relationship with money . It 's time to meet the 7 Money Personality Types . Whether you 're a meticulous budgeter , a spontaneous spender , a generous gifter , or somewhere in between , your approach to money is often shaped by your personality and deeper psychological patterns . To help you get to the bottom of where you sit , we sat down with financial expert Rebecca Roberton , performance coach Polly Bateman , and psychologist Barbara Santini who are diving into the most common money personalities to help you reflect on your habits and discover practical tools for financial wellbeing . With recent stats showing that millions across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- and even baby formula -- it 's never been more important to take a mindful look at how we manage our finances . As Roberton explains , " Many are having to make large cutbacks and reduce their outgoings ; even paying for essentials can cause anxiety ... We 're rethinking what we need to prioritise when it comes to money . " Understanding your money mindset can lead to better-informed decisions -- whether that 's cutting back on impulse buys , building a smarter budget , or simply reducing financial stress . " A person 's money is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves , " says Bateman . " The good news ? Your money mindset can change . " It 's one thing to examine your financial behaviours , but who among us has ever really took the time to understand the emotions behind them ?

This is exactly the same issue a big spender has - they look externally to validate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moneymaker associates money with financial freedom , security and happiness , but this can come at a price when it comes to overall wellbeing . " For a compulsive moneymaker , almost all their effort goes into making money , but they may not realise how dangerous it can be when looking to achieve financial freedom , " psychologist Barbara Santini explains . " I always tell my clients to learn that life has more meaningful things than money . " It 's important to find a balance between work and play - consulting our wellness tips or investing in a wellness planner will help you prioritise rest and downtime. The sensible saver likes to play it safe . " They tend to save their money in their normal bank accounts very well , but wo n't take the next step to invest money , for example in the stock market . They wo n't cover commit themselves and want to create security around them . " A big saver would tend to hoard money , prefer low risk and will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These people also tend to be meticulous planners , with very clear boundaries . Be mindful of : Someone that 's always saving is unlikely to take many risks , like investing . While saving is undoubtedly a good thing , it 's worth attributing a small amount of those savings to investments that could multiply your money . " Always being in the place of ' save , save , save ' can sometimes create tax issues - and there 's also the challenge of keeping that money secure . Saving is a great place to be , but have a plan to make the most out of your money , " Roberton advises . Santini also argues that saving to the extreme can take the joy out of earning money . " Big savers may keep money , even when there is no goal to it . I usually advise people to spend in moderation because there 's no point in working hard and not finding happiness in your earnings , especially those who skip recreational activities or hobbies in the name of saving . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one 's for you ! A giver is a generous person who is always paying for drinks , picking up the dinner bill and bestowing lavish gifts on friends - but it 's important to be wary of the motivation behind this . " Givers are generous at heart , but could be using gift giving to replace genuine affection , " Roberton explains . " This type of money personality is also someone who often puts other people 's needs above their own . " Another financial type who 's preoccupied with what other people think and feel , the flashy spender wants to appear affluent to others . " A flashy spender tends to like status objects like gadgets , clothes , shoes and fast cars . They will buy everyone a drink because they care what people think of them . But they can get into debt easier due to these traits , " Roberton tells us . " Spenders are unlikely to check their bank statements ; they buy stuff they do n't really need and obsess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all a reflection of needed outside validation and a fear of looking too closely at themselves in case they see something they do n't like or ca n't change , " explains Bateman . Be mindful of : Living beyond your means can quickly escalate into debt . " Remember , no matter how many objects or objects you own it can not bring you deep happiness . Often the joy of buying is short-lived , but the repercussions of debt will endure . " Keep a close eye on your spending habits and think about what else your money could be spent on , or invested in , to achieve a deeper level of happiness or wealth . " The experience seeker is unlikely to use their money to buy material things , like clothes , gadgets or the latest designer handbag , but instead prioritises experiences like trips , expensive dinners , or perhaps massage treatments and spa days as a way to unwind . The problem is , these things can be costly on a regular basis , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the bill for experiences can soon add up to a lot . " The experience seeker has a bohemian mentality as a free-spirited individual who will use their money to break free from life and day-to-day constraints , " Roberton explains . " They will not really have a plan or be worried about how they spend their money as long as it gives them a feeling of joy and independence . Be mindful of : The experience seeker tends to live in the moment , without much plan for the future , but this could mean that their future happiness is compromised . " Life is for living and enjoying as much as you can , but there is a reality that needs to be considered : old age , " Roberton continues . " It 's important to address : what does the future look like and can you have the best of both worlds ? " Avoidant personality types can often find themselves in difficult situations with their finances due to not staying on top of admin . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they may find it anxiety-inducing , and does n't have a clear view on when direct debits are leaving the account , or when money might be coming in . In short , their finances are chaotic . This type of person is often disorganised , but it can also stem from general avoidance and anxiety . Getting a handle on finances will actually cause so much less anxiety in the long term , as there wo n't be the shock of a large bill coming out without warning or that embarrassing card-decline moment . Budgeting apps like Emma or Money Manager can really help with allocating money to different pots for more effective budgeting . The worrier is the opposite of the avoidant ; they compulsively check their bank account , agonising over every last detail and like to always feel in control when it comes to their finances . " The worrier is usually overthinking and very aware of what money they have . Stress levels are often high and there will be lots of stories about what could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Classic overthinking like this only creates tension and stress . It comes down to a lack of self-confidence and trust in themselves and this eats away at the ability to live life . " In short , it 's important to get a handle on money worry before it takes over . Be mindful of : Becoming obsessed with your finances is a fast track to anxiety and compulsive checking only adds fuel to the fire . Instead , try setting aside a designated weekly time to check through your bank account and handle any admin . " Using a money management app is a good way to combat worry . Learning about good money management is good practice and will increase their confidence in themselves . I also always advise that where there is a lack of self-confidence or worth that 's leading to money worries , getting a coach , or joining a club or community will always be an investment in yourself as well that can help overcome this . " But while money apps can help , be wary of defaulting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easily accessible at our fingertips , it can be tempting to be constantly flicking through . But just like scrolling for hours on Instagram , engaging too much can cause our mental health to dip . Be wary of screen time in general , and try and reduce time spent on banking apps . Download an app that can help with budgeting : " Starling Bank is a great app-based bank account which allows you to have ' spaces ' to save and assist with money management , " Roberton advises . Look at your outgoings : Work out if there 's anywhere you can trim . " Manage the money you have -- reduce your outgoing and give every penny a job , " says Roberton . Draw up a money plan : " Without a clear plan , there 's a lot of room for error , " Bateman says . Try investing : " Investing is a great way to multiply what you already have , " Roberton advises .

Manchester United still intend to preside over a game-changing summer transfer window , with four major player sales -- the biggest projected to net ? 60m -- all on the agenda to free up cash . Defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final resigned the Red Devils to their worst season in more than half a century . Aside from failing to lift silverware , the loss in Bilbao also ensured Man Utd will not play European football next season . A fresh update from The Telegraph has shed light on how United 's finances will be affected by the defeat and it makes sobering reading . The report read : ' United 's failure to win the Europa League and , with it , secure Champions League qualification , leaves the club at a significant financial disadvantage this summer . ' For example , England 's four Champions League representatives earned an average of ? 79 million each from participation in the competition this season , excluding gate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million to United . ' United also stand to earn about ? 25 million less in Premier League merit payments this season compared to last and have triggered a ? 10 million penalty clause payable to Adidas under the terms of their kit deal for failing to qualify for the Champions League . That will be partly offset by the ? 8 million the club stand to earn from their post-season tour of Asia next week . ' All of this will drastically increase the pressure to sell well this summer and adopt an ultra-flexible approach in which little is off the table in order to raise funds to reinvest . ' Yet despite the disadvantageous position Man Utd now find themselves in , the club are still planning to overhaul their squad and provide Ruben Amorim with a raft of new signings more suited to his 3-4-2-1 formation and tactical demands . To make that a reality , The Telegraph state Man Utd intend to get the ball rolling by generating ? 90m from the triple sale of Marcus Rashford , Jadon Sancho and Antony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way of a conditional obligation to buy in his loan arrangement with Chelsea , though unfortunately for Man Utd , the story does n't end there . The condition that activated the obligation to buy -- worth around ? 22m -- are Chelsea finishing 14th or higher in the Premier League . That has already been achieved , though the Blues can opt out of signing Sancho outright if paying Man Utd a ? 5m ' penalty fee ' . If that is the direction Chelsea take , Man Utd must find a new buyer and Sancho has done little to raise his stock during his spell at Stamford Bridge . Rashford , meanwhile , can join loan club Aston Villa in a permanent deal if Unai Emery 's side take up their ? 40m option to buy . Villa wo n't make a final call on whether to activate their option until discovering which European competition they 'll play in next season . That will be determined on the Premier League 's final day on Sunday and as you might expect , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through if participating in the Champions League . It is important to stress , however , that Villa must still come to an agreement on personal terms with Rashford even if they activate their option . If a permanent switch to Villa Park is n't completed , a new chapter in Spain with Barcelona could await . TEAMtalk has consistently reported joining Barcelona was Rashford 's dream scenario in January and that remains the case heading into the summer . Barca director , Deco , recently confirmed his side do hold interest in Rashford and Liverpool 's Luis Diaz as they go in search of a versatile attacker to add to their ranks . Antony has dazzled during his loan spell with Real Betis who per The Telegraph , do want to sign the Brazilian outright . But by far the biggest sum United could generate from those they 're happy to offload would come from Alejandro Garnacho . The Telegraph state Man Utd are ' likely ' to accept offers of ? 60m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Garnacho did not hide his displeasure at being benched for the Europa League final after starting each and every one of United 's matches in the knockout rounds prior to Wednesday night . " Until we reached the final , I played every round . And I played 20 minutes today , " the winger said . " I do n't know . I 'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next . " Other potential sales include Andre Onana , Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund if suitable bids are received . The latter of that trio certainly does n't lack for genuine interest , with Italian giants Inter Milan , Juventus and Napoli all circling . Man Utd will also shred a chunk off their wage-bill when letting Jonny Evans , Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen leave when their contracts expire on June 30 . One of Serie A 's biggest sides are set to launch an improved bid for the talented youngster with United facing some difficult decisions as they look to generate the funds needed for Amorim 's big rebuild |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'born out of turning 40', which is a passive construction but lacks the necessary components (V1 and NP object) to be considered an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, it does not provide a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Katie Piper -- TV presenter , author , burns charity founder and prison campaigner -- has just visited her 11-year-old daughter 's class to talk about her career . Piper had seen the invitation to parents in the school newsletter but her career path was hardly typical . Her daughter Belle insisted . Fresh from presenting at the Baftas , Piper went in . " I passed around my OBE , talked about television presenting , writing my books and about not feeling excluded because of the way we look . I talked about confidence and evolving and adapting , about staying curious and not listening to outside noise , and about how my life had taken a change in direction because I was badly burnt in an accident when I was much younger . When I opened up the floor to a Q&A , the first question came from a little boy : ' How were you burnt ? What happened ? ' " She smiles . Children have a habit of cutting to the chase . She gave a version of the truth . " ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was so rare it will almost certainly never happen to any of you and you are all safe . But when it happened to me , there was n't a lot of support for me in society . ' And then I took another question and it was , ' Why are there feathers on your cardigan ? ' " She laughs . " Children move on . My own kids are like that . " With her husband , Richie Sutton , at a film premiere in March GETTY IMAGES To recap : when she was a 24-year-old model , Piper had a two-week affair with a man named Daniel Lynch . In March 2008 , he raped her in a hotel room , threatening to kill and maim her . She managed to escape alive , placating him with the idea that they had a future together . But days later , he persuaded her to leave her north London flat . A 19-year-old man , Stefan Sylvestre , hired by Lynch , was waiting for her . He threw sulphuric acid in her face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ skin , melting away her features , partially blinding her in the left eye and burning her oesophagus . She stumbled into a shop , screaming in pain , caught on CCTV . She was rushed to a specialist burns unit at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital . By chance , the burns surgeon on duty was Mohammad Ali Jawad from Karachi in Pakistan -- " now a second father to me " , she explains . He had operated on many women , victims of revenge acid attacks , in Karachi . Piper 's injuries were the worst the London team had seen . On April 10 , 2008 , Jawad rebuilt Piper 's face using a skin substitute , MatriDerm . The operation began by completely removing what was left of her face . Her nose was gone , half her ear , her eyelids ; her mouth and tongue were damaged . It lasted hours and was the first of its kind in the UK . She was placed into an induced coma because otherwise she would not have survived the pain . But that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world a year later , in 2009 , when she waived her anonymity for a Cutting Edge documentary , Katie : My Beautiful Face . It was filmed across the course of a year with incredible access to Piper 's life . She launched the Katie Piper Foundation , her burns charity , which she started in her childhood bedroom when she was at her lowest and has grown exponentially ( she remains a trustee ) . It has since funded a rehabilitation centre in St Helen 's , Merseyside . In 2022 she was awarded an OBE by the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle . Her mother , Diane , was by her side . Lynch was convicted of rape , GBH and ABH and given a life sentence with a minimum term of 16 years . Stefan Sylvestre was also given a life sentence , with a minimum of six years . Lynch will come before a parole board next month ; Sylvestre is at large having been released on licence and absconded . Collecting her OBE with her mother , Diane , 2022 GETTY IMAGES Seventeen years have passed since that attack . She is known now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- not for her face or her figure or for whom she has or has n't dated -- and for her campaigning for burns victims . She is a TV personality and a panellist on Loose Women . Three other Piper shows are currently streaming : Katie Piper 's Weekend Escape ( ITVX ) and Katie Piper 's Jailhouse Mums and Locked Up in Louisiana ( both U&W ) . She is a mother of two adored girls , Belle , 11 , and Penelope , 7 . She has been married for almost ten years to Richie Sutton , whom she met four years after the attack . The same week we meet , she is placed second on a " Most empowering women of the past 25 years " list , alongside Michelle Obama and the late Deborah James , the bowel cancer awareness campaigner . Cancer aside , Piper shares a lot in common with James , both young women who took their own adversity and used it for the greater good . " What was left of my face after the acid had melted away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waste bin , " Piper writes in Still Beautiful . She hopes to reach a new audience of young women who have discovered her on TikTok and are growing up in a culture that can feel overly obsessed with looks . She wants to reach older women too , who are subjected to societal pressure and who can so easily forget that " ageing is a privilege that is denied to many " . Advertisement Even after everything Piper has been through -- the hundreds of reconstructive operations that continue today ( more of which to come ) -- when she turned 40 , she started being asked how she felt about ageing . " It was quite shocking for me , because turning 40 was only ever positive . It was a celebration of my life and reaching a milestone I never thought I 'd reach .

I came to public attention as a news story , as a victim of a violent crime . I hope , 17 years on , I 'm doing something different , but I think it 's probably unfair of me to say , ' I do n't want to talk about the burns and the attack any more . ' I think it 's more that I do n't want to attribute my success since to that man 's actions against me . " It 's almost as if talking about the attack is attributing what I have achieved to his actions rather than my own resilience , my own professional achievements or my own choices in the aftermath . I do n't want the attack to be a noose around my neck . I 'm not just a campaigner . If I 'm seen on Loose Women laughing about something entirely different , or presenting a totally different show , the public starts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And that is when inclusion and acceptance happen . " When I was burnt , there was no way society thought I 'd get married or be a leader . At best , I 'd lead a life dependent on my parents ; I 'd have a mediocre existence . Disfigured faces were n't high achievers and they definitely were n't sexy , safe or kind . I could n't look to anyone else to emulate or follow . There was n't anyone . I had to write the rule book for me . Advertisement " When I was in hospital , my peer group was getting engaged or trying for kids , just succeeding . And I felt powerless .

" It 's a bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she says of how she sees herself . " External factors can change it . I think beauty standards are evolving and changing . I can feel out of my depth or out of place in some environments and not in others . There are places where I do n't feel confident . I 've internalised a lot of ideas about beauty . We are told that if we are ' old ' or ' unattractive ' we are not powerful . I had to buy out of all that years ago . " For the public , I 'm burnt but not too burnt . I know there are people considered too burnt to be in a beauty campaign or on television . We need to keep pushing . I was white , blonde and middle class when it happened to me . I am the kind of victim the public believes . Others have a different experience . " At a Women 's Aid reception with the Queen , December 2024 PA It would be easy to write about Piper only in terms of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courage . Her story has moved on in ways she never saw for herself . But she is not interested in encouraging an unrealistic gloss on her life . Advertisement " I have n't felt like I need to hide or pretend that I 'm totally on top of everything , " she writes . About five years ago , she went back into therapy . " I was struggling with coping , with being strong , " she says of a time when her life looked really good on the outside . " Not struggling with what had happened to me , but with life . " I remember feeling really bad about it . I was writing these self-help books , and did this mean that I was n't authentic ? I kept thinking that I should n't be struggling . My therapist told me that this is what toxic positivity is -- you demonise negative emotions . " I learnt that a sense of success is not a fixed destination that you arrive at , park up and just stay there . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because I worry about f***ing up . I think it 's important to be a bit more transparent . " One aspect of her life is that her surgical procedures will never stop , " although I try not to talk about them all the time " . A knock-on consequence of her history is that she has learnt to live with intense pain . In 2018 she almost died from sepsis after she ignored a urinary tract infection , which escalated and became life-threatening . She spent three weeks in hospital . " My threshold is not normal because of the burns injuries . " Advertisement Her burns scars , all these years on , contract and pull , threatening disfigurement . She pulls her neck and jawline down to show me how . Her scarring is so much less noticeable because of pioneering treatments she received in France .

One day , through her girls , she might see how her own face would have aged naturally had she not been attacked . ( Piper is not anti-beauty treatments -- she has Botox to help her skin , gets her nails done , dyes her hair , has facials to keep her skin hydrated -- but she does all this for herself , rather than to chase any beauty standard . ) Very recently , after years of struggling with limited vision in her left eye -- for which she had undergone stem cell transplants -- she made a decision about this damaged eye .

She was then readmitted to hospital . She worried about blindness , about not working . It was a bleak time , she remembers , because she could n't muster her natural optimism . ( A less resilient person would have had such feelings years ago . ) " It makes a difference for that eye to be completely blind now , " she says . She saw in the mirror something was happening -- she had developed a condition called end-stage eye ( medically known as phthisis bulbi ) , which , because of injury , disease or inflammation , results in the eye shrinking back into the head , no longer functioning . Once again , her appearance seemed unstable . " When our appearance changes , normally it 's gradually , right ? " she says . " It came out of nowhere and I became ill . I was left with this thing where my eye shrinks into my head . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ structure . I explored a prosthetic eye in the UK but it was acrylic and I could n't tolerate it , because it was so thick and bulbous . Then I found somebody in Germany . " Since then , as recorded on Instagram , Piper has travelled with Sutton to Hamburg where she collected four prosthetic eye shells ( three spares ) , each handblown by a glassblower over a Bunsen burner . The shell sits over her damaged eye . She is wearing one now . " I ca n't tolerate it full time because I get a lot of inflammation . It 's not without its problems . I 'm tolerating it at the moment . I 've only had it a few weeks so maybe it will be different in a year . " I ca n't tell the difference , I tell her . It looks the same as her other eye . " Really ? " she asks . " Do you think so ? " I do . " But it 's not that simple . It 's uncomfortable . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Piper 's honesty about her life is unusual . It is part of her determination to be real . After the attack , she focused on educating herself in administration for her charity , taking night courses , " because , let 's face it , in those early years it was n't as if I had a sex life . " I had the very unique experience of dramatically disappearing from the male gaze aged 24 . Most women experience this over years , with age , not overnight . " In those early years , Piper experienced deep shame because of male reactions to her scarring , " although it was also men who restored my faith in society , through Mr Jawad , through the two lead detectives on my case , my father , who supported me alongside my mother . It was men in whom I was able to put my trust . And then I met Richie in 2012 . " When she tried to re-enter the world as a young woman , she experienced terrible examples of humiliation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the window of their passing van , annoyed the woman they 'd wolf-whistled from behind was not what they expected when they drove past ; the early dates with men who made excuses to leave the table and bolted , leaving her alone with the bill . " Dating was hard and the truth is , yes , my appearance was a barrier . " It 's funny , some of those men from back then have got back in touch , which is very shallow , I think . It 's as if now I 'm on TV I 'm cool to know or acceptable . People are sheep , really . They only like or accept what everyone else can accept . People ca n't trailblaze for themselves , generally . " Sutton has been by her side since 2012 for every hospital procedure . But Piper is keen not to be seen as " saved " in the manner of a Disney princess . " My marriage to Richie has not been easy . It 's been fraught with all the sorts of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , like when you 're more sort of companions : ongoing medical things where the dynamic changes to patient and carer , and there has been the whole dynamic that changes when you have children . Who is the breadwinner ? Whose career is flourishing and whose gets put on the back burner and what does society say about that ? It 's been really , really hard . " Sutton closed his carpentry business as Piper 's public profile grew . " That 's a difficult conversation to navigate . We do n't have the answers and we definitely do n't always get it right , " she says . At one point , he moved out -- which they kept from everybody , including family -- but they found a way through . " I suppose we 're united by wanting to provide a family unit for the girls and we want to stay together . But we do n't always do that well . " At the Bafta TV awards this month , where she presented the specialist factual award GETTY IMAGES Last year , because Piper was readmitted to hospital with her eye complication , the couple let go of the idea of trying for a third child . " We had to test I was n't pregnant before the general anaesthetic , and then afterwards it was n't happening . There came a point when we thought , ' This is getting tiresome , ' in terms of the fertility apps . And I thought , ' We are blessed with two healthy children . ' So we got a dog instead . " Piper 's parents are close to her , although not geographically . They live in Hampshire , in the house to which she returned after she was attacked . In those days they massaged her skin for 45 minutes four times a day . Her mother gave up her teaching career to care for her . Diane clearly keeps her daughter going with a calm stoicism . Eleven years ago , Piper remembers ringing her mum to tell her that she was pregnant with Belle . But in that same call , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That moment of maternal joy was marred by another health crisis . " She 's had everything . It started in the bowel , then it went to the liver , lung , lymph and then separately skin . So she 's had organs removed , cut away , chemotherapy . She 's a really stoic , strong but silent kind of woman , not gushy or fluffy . She 's taught me a lot about endurance and hanging in there . " Piper is passionate about prisoner rehabilitation . ( She became a Christian shortly after the attack . It is not something she discusses much , recognising that religion can be divisive , but her life is informed by Christian compassion . ) Her work is focused on women prisoners . She first became an ambassador for Women 's Aid and then began holding prison workshops , delivering speeches to female inmates on International Women 's Day , then running poetry workshops and dance workshops . She is a well-qualified presenter for Jailhouse Mums and Locked Up in Louisiana . " I believe in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK or the US , but they are overcrowded and underfunded . For rehab to take place you need money , you need specialists , psychiatrists , educators , teachers -- you need opportunity . " And in the case of your own assailants ? " I do n't know the people who attacked me , " she says evenly . " I do n't know about their childhood . I have n't interviewed them . I do n't know about their rehabilitation . I could n't comment on them . But I am a very optimistic person and I want to believe in prison and that system of rehabilitation . " Fronting the health and wellbeing series Katie Piper 's Weekend Escape ITV James Timpson , the minister for prisons , parole and reducing reoffending , with his history of employing former prisoners in his Timpson retail group , is a hero of Piper 's . She has approached his office for a meeting but has had no luck as of yet . " I 've followed him for years . When he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who cares , who really understands the system . ' If James Timpson reads this , then I say here , ' I would love to work with you . ' " Before last year 's election Piper was working with Alex Chalk , then the justice secretary , to ban the sale , distribution and decanting of acid and to push for acid attacks to have a separate charge . " It was exhausting and difficult , and then he lost his position , we changed government and you go back to square one . " Piper would make a good politician . She has spoken at Labour Party press conferences . " Yes , I am interested in politics . I really do n't know who I would align with now . It 's a difficult time . " As Piper says , success is not a fixed point . " I 'm flourishing and I 'm well . I 'm into the gym , weight lifting , running , healthy eating . I do n't smoke .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes the subject taking time out of an activity (shooting a movie) for another purpose (buying snacks), which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction's criteria for movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

M&S boss Stuart Machin has every reason to hate the shadowy cyber-criminals who attacked the store he runs . He has been working night and day to try to put it right , it has threatened his successful recovery drive and will cost him ? 1 million in pay . Surely he would like to see draconian punishment for the culprits ? But Machin refuses to be drawn on what he 'd like to say to the hackers , reported to be a gang including teenagers , and what their punishment should be . He says : ' I 'm not focused on the hackers . I detached myself from that very quickly . ' Because he was so angry ? ' Because I wanted to put my energy into our customers , our colleagues , into getting the business on track , ' he says . In his first interview since the attackers struck , he defied the hackers and vowed : ' We intend to come back better and stronger than ever . ' Focused : Stuart Machin refuses to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hackers and what their punishment should be Machin learned late at night that the store 's systems had been hacked , and his reaction was visceral . He says : ' I went into shock . It 's in the pit of your stomach , the anxiety . But you have to think : ' Stuart , you have to lead this , you have to keep a cool head . ' I do n't know if I was calm . It was a mixture of emotions because I care , I put my life into transforming M&S . ' Having emerged from the shock , he says : ' By day three I was going everywhere and talking to everyone . I spoke to every store manager . ' Cyber incidents are all too common these days but in M&S , the hackers had targeted a national icon . There was even speculation early on that Marks was singled out by a hostile power due to its unique place in British hearts . However , when I use the word crisis , the 54-year-old bridles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a crisis -- that is too dramatic . ' What would he call it ? ' An incident , a setback , a bump in the road , a disruption , ' he says . ' I 'm not underestimating it , I have a responsibility to be truthful , to put things in perspective and be pragmatic . ' Whatever the vocabulary , there is no doubt this is a serious situation . Shoppers , staff and shareholders have been unnerved by the hack , by shadowy cyber-criminals who apparently gained entry to M&S systems via a third party . The personal data of millions of customers was stolen though Machin insists the hackers have not done anything with it and there is constant monitoring in place . M&S revealed last week the costs will be up to ? 300 million and the disruption could go on until July . Machin says , with some understatement , that it is ' frustrating , because we just had the best year in 17 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until the attack , been recovering well but around ? 1 billion has been wiped off its market value . Having taken over as chief executive in 2022 , he had , until the cyber chaos , earned plaudits for transforming the retailer . The much loved chain had lost its way and none of his predecessors had quite managed to put it definitively back on course . Machin lives and breathes M&S . A workaholic and self-confessed perfectionist control freak , he wakes at the crack of dawn and spends much of his weekends checking out stores . He has been so focused on sorting out the hack that he has been too busy for a long chat with his beloved mum , who he says is his inspiration . ' I have n't really spoken to her , ' he says . ' I gave her one quick call last week and that was it . I 've just not had time . It is not true we had sleeping bags here , but the first week , it was full on 24 hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he vows M&S will emerge stronger . He says : ' I feel motivated by this and the store managers do too . I had a text from a regional director saying a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor . We 've been around for 140 years with lots of challenges . We survived that and we 'll survive this . ' He has been buoyed by support from customers , including his good friend Dame Joan Collins . The 92-year-old posted a video on Instagram of herself taking time out of shooting a movie to buy snacks in Marks & Spencer . The star was looking glamorous in oversized sunglasses , a quilted leather jacket and a baseball cap . ' Joan went in shopping straight away and did some social media . She sent me a message wishing me all the best , ' Machin says . He also found light relief in a post on social media from a customer telling the hackers they had upset her cat because its M&S treats were temporarily unavailable . The post went viral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bureau of Investigations . ' We 've sent the customer a bag of cat treats now , ' says Machin , who has been deluged with thousands of letters , emails and social media posts from customers , 80 per cent supportive , he says . Even City analysts have been charitable . Experts at Shore Capital , the retailer 's ' house ' broker , said the response to the hack ' has shown M&S leadership and culture at its best ' . Rival brokers at Peel Hunt weighed in to say : ' We love what management has done and it is with a heavy heart that we downgrade the shares to ' hold ' . ' The broker had previously rated M&S as a ' buy ' . Machin 's aim is to wrest triumph from disaster . He hopes to exploit the time to push through improvements to the online merchandise planning platform . He says : ' It was a three-year plan . Probably it will be a year and a half now . ' He is buoyed by the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before the hackers struck , so is in a strong position to weather the storm . Its balance sheet was ' very strong ' after net debt had been reduced by ? 900 million over three years . When quizzed on why it is taking so long to restore online fashion shopping , his answer is that it is not . He says : ' It may take five or six weeks , but , to put that in context , we are on a five-year transformation plan . One thing I know about leadership is this . I am very demanding but if you are just demanding about the speed of the outcome , you have people taking shortcuts . So I 'd like to get it right . ' He says ' quite a few ' chief executives rang him to commiserate , having been through similar experiences . He says : ' It can happen to anyone . They all advised me to watch for burnout , and that it is likely to take longer than you think to put right . Everyone is way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite unfair . I have always -- when I have given updates -- been brutally honest . I have managed expectations because I do n't like going out with false hope . ' Have lessons been learnt ? ' I do n't know if the term is lessons but I have learned everyone is vulnerable . The hackers only need to be lucky once , ' Machin says . The episode raised questions as to the state of M&S 's preparedness , its defences and back-up plans . The retailer was investing heavily in cyber security ahead of the attack , Machin says , adding : ' We did a simulation exercise last year . Because of that , I knew who to call . I had people on speed dial in case it happened . ' The cyber-security team has been increased four-fold in three years , he says , and the ' tech spend is three times what it was five years ago ' . He adds : ' We told the authorities immediately . We had a plan in place in case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among directors and senior managers to make sure the company is protected against further attacks ? Does the board need to be stronger in that respect ? ' I would make it a broader point of beefing up our experience of tech and this is something we have done , ' Machine says . ' Go back two years , and I was really clear I wanted a bigger leader on tech , which is why we recruited Rachel Higham as our chief digital and technology officer . ' Higham , who was previously at advertising giant WPP , joined just over a year ago . Machin says : ' She has gone through this before though and she is very resilient . ' He seems put out by suggestions that the company may face an investigation by the Information Commissioner 's Office for its handling of the affair , saying : ' I do n't know if regulators will be investigating but I hope not and I would be disappointed . ' We have worked very hard to do the right thing and keep everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he says , already drawn a line under the affair .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is used transitively with 'a lot' as its object, and 'out of seeing boxers improving' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to express deriving satisfaction or benefit from an activity, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'create opportunities out of nothing', where 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'create opportunities', not involving a VP[-ing] predicate.

Since the formation of the Premier League back in 1992 , fans of the beautiful game have been blessed with a plethora of foreign players coming to the country and establishing themselves as some of the best players in the country . Even now , supporters are lucky to watch legends like Mohamed Salah in action every week . Sadly , Kevin De Bruyne has decided he will leave Manchester City in 2025 . Popular pundit Jamie Carragher believes the Belgian will go down as an undoubted legend in the league , saying : " Kevin De Bruyne is going to go down as an all-time great in the Premier League . When you think of the greatest foreign players to ever play in the Premier League , we always use the same names : Eric Cantona , Gianfranco Zola , Dennis Bergkamp . Those three are absolutely legendary figures in the Premier League and at their clubs . He 's better than all three of them . " With that being said , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Premier League players of all time ? Well , several names , including Fernando Torres and Erling Haaland fail to make the list , and many fans will be disappointed to see the Spaniard and the Norwegian omitted . However , that 's just a testament to the incredible calibre of foreign talent that has played in the Premier League since its launch over 30 years ago . The main factors taken into account when ordering these players were as follows : He helped deliver the Reds ' first-ever Premier League title in 2019/20 and then repeated the feat in 2024/25 . To his credit , he is both an elite shot-stopper and brilliant with the ball at his feet , when so many can only excel in one of these categories . With two Golden Gloves to go with his pair of league titles , when he does depart , Anfield will struggle to see a goalkeeper of his level again . Alisson Premier League Stats Appearances 228 Cleansheets 95 Goals 1 Assissts 3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United & West Ham United While Ashley Cole is widely regarded as the best left-back to play in the Premier League , Patrice Evra has a case for being just behind the Englishman . Representing Manchester United , the Frenchman played over 250 times in the top flight . While he was surrounded by some global stars such as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo , Evra was pivotal to the club 's dominance throughout the 2000s and early 2010s . He was Mr Reliable on the left-side of defence for Sir Alex Ferguson 's team and won five Premier League titles during his time in England . His disappointing spell at West Ham United aside , the former full-back 's legacy in the top flight is very impressive and fondly remembered . Patrice Evra 's Premier League Stats Appearances 278 Goals 21 Assists 98 Titles 5 Following Peter Schmeichel 's Old Trafford exit , Sir Alex Ferguson spent years searching for a suitable replacement at Manchester United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he left , but then , along came Edwin van der Sar . After impressing with Fulham , he joined the Red Devils in 2005 and changed everything . The Dutchman was a force in between the sticks for United and it 's no coincidence that his arrival was shortly followed by one of the most dominant periods in the club 's history . In Van der Sar , the team had someone they could call upon to save the day when they were n't at their best and he did just that . Edwin van der Sar 's Premier League Stats Appearances 313 Cleansheets 132 Titles 4 Golden Gloves 1 He might not have been in the Premier League for too long , but Luis Suarez more than made a big enough impact during his tenure with Liverpool . The Uruguayan dominated his opponents in England and his goal catalogue was as impressive as anyone 's has ever been in the division . Arguably , Suarez went on to reach even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but there 's no taking away just how incredible he was during his time at Anfield . His 92 goal contributions in 110 league appearances for the Reds was a game-changer at the time and it 's unfortunate he never got a league title to match his individual exploits . Luis Suarez 's Premier League Stats Appearances 110 Goals 69 Assists 23 Golden Boots 1 During the back end of his career at Barcelona , Toure became out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola . He was allowed to leave the side in 2010 , joining Manchester City . While he was a well-known figure at the time , the midfielder became an instant regular in the team . The peak of his powers came in the 2013/14 season when he scored a remarkable 20 league goals to guide City to their second Premier League title triumph . He is a prime example of a player who reinvented himself from being an underappreciated defensive player at Barcelona to being the best box-to-box @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saw Toure become one of Manchester City 's greatest players of all time , playing a big part in the club winning their first three Premier League titles in history . It was a no-brainer to include him on the list , given his ability in the final third , while being able to also do a job helping out his teammates at the back . Yaya Toure 's Premier League Stats Appearances 230 Goals 62 Assists 32 Titles 3 Ruud van Nistelrooy will go down as one of the greatest Dutch players to ply their trade in the Premier League . The former Manchester United hero was a goal-scoring machine at the start of the 21st century , scoring 20 or more league goals in three successive seasons between 2001 and 2004 , including one of the best debut seasons we have seen - netting 36 goals in all competitions . This was a quieter period for United as they won just one Premier League with Van Nistelrooy in the team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a vital moment , he usually delivered . The Dutchman was known for his first finishing and was always able to catch goalkeepers off guard on several occasions . With 95 goals in 150 Premier League appearances , Van Nistelrooy managed to pick up the ' Golden Boot ' award in the 2002/03 season , playing a starring role in Manchester United 's campaign . Ruud van Nistelrooy 's Premier League Stats Appearances 150 Goals 95 Assists 14 Titles 1 Golden Boots 1 When he first arrived in the Premier League in 2015 , very few would have heard the name N'Golo Kante . We all know now . In his first season , he won the league with Leicester and then followed that up by doing the same at Chelsea , while also winning the Champions League with the Blues . The Frenchman played like a modern-day Claude Makelele , with some differences in their games . His defensive prowess is well documented , but sometimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driving runs and overall energy provided a lot in an attacking sense for his side . He even chipped in with a few goals during his time at Stamford Bridge and established himself as a fan-favourite during his time in west London . N'Golo Kante 's Premier League Stats Appearances 227 Goals 12 Assists 17 Titles 2 Tackles 687 Without a shadow of a doubt , Eden Hazard is one of the best players to put on a Chelsea shirt in the 21st century . With his dazzling feet , he could create opportunities out of nothing , and he saved his best for last , as he recorded 16 goals and 15 assists in his final season at Chelsea before moving to Real Madrid in 2019 . There was one slight blip on his record while at Stamford Bridge , and that was the 2015/16 season , where Hazard went missing for large parts of the campaign , as Jose Mourinho lost his job and Chelsea lost their title to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of magic in him , scoring the equaliser against Tottenham which won Leicester City the Premier League in 2016 . He picked it up in the following season as he was the star man in Antonio Conte 's league-winning side . His ability to turn up in big matches made him one of the most feared players in the history of the Premier League during his glittering spell in England . Eden Hazard 's Premier League Stats Appearances 245 Goals 85 Assists 54 Titles 2 During his time in west London with Chelsea , Petr Cech established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the Premier League . However , his swansong at Arsenal could have gone better as he failed to live up to expectations . Upon moving to the Blues in 2004 , he conceded just 15 league goals in his first season . No goalkeeper has conceded fewer goals in a single campaign in the history of the Premier League , and it is hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even with the likes of Ederson and Alisson in the league . The iconic shot-stopper was integral to Chelsea 's stingy defence throughout his tenure at the club , with Cech still holding the record for the most Premier League clean sheets of all time . Many may argue that he is the greatest goalkeeper to ever play in England due to his incredible record and ability to single handily win games for his former clubs . Petr Cech 's Premier League Stats Appearances 443 Clean Sheets 202 Titles 4 Golden Gloves 4 Despite his form tailing off towards the end of his spell at Old Trafford , NemanjaVidic formed the best partnership in the league with Rio Ferdinand for the best part of a decade . The pair complemented each other perfectly , with Vidic 's combative style allowing United to win five league titles during his eight years at the club . Between 2000-2010 , there were many icons that Vidic played alongside . However , Sir Alex Ferguson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gary Neville 's retirement in 2011 .

Sir Nicholas Clegg popped his head above the parapet this week , not an easy thing to do given how weighed down his pockets are with Meta 's gold sovereigns . In January , the former leader of the Liberal Democrats relinquished his senior role at Meta , the social platform multinational , having made ? 14.8 million from the sale of shares in the company on top of a pay package rumoured to be ? 2.7 million , a profit of ? 3.6 million on the house he owned in Atherton , California , and with the retention of 39,000 shares worth an estimated ? 15.5m . We all know who was getting the beers in when he came off stage at the Charleston Festival in East Sussex on Thursday afternoon . But perhaps Sir Nick has opted merely for some Vidago sparkling water , preferring to stay focused and match-fit for this week 's speeches and media appearances as he emerges to reflect on that most momentous of commemorations : the 15th anniversary of the creation of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition of 2010 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : the Downing Street rose garden press conference . The Dave and Nick show at 2.15pm on May 12 when the then Prime Minister and his deputy Nick Clegg heralded a " new politics " . A nation watched and then prayed earnestly for a speedy return to the old politics . Just days after a general election campaign during which David Cameron had accused Nick Clegg of holding the country to ransom and Clegg accused the Tory leader of breathtaking arrogance , they published a joint policy document . And what a seven-page policy document of directionless compromise that was . One upshot being that he then reneged on a pledge to oppose an increase in university tuition fees , a U-turn that helped to virtually destroy his party in the 2015 General Election where the Lib Dems ended up with just eight MPs before Clegg lost his own seat in the General Election of 2017 . So much for the soup of coalitions that result from indecisive public ballots . Yet what was Sir Nick arguing for in his Institute for Government speech on Tuesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chance to prise open the suffocating grip of First Past the Post politics , " he said of the 2011 UK Alternative Vote referendum ( which none of us can actually remember happening ) , blaming the Conservatives for being duplicitous ; " we were strung along " and Labour 's " Ed Miliband barely lifted a finger " . Having had a taste of government by fudge , the Tories , Labour and the country voted overwhelmingly ( some 70 per cent ) against changing the electoral system . Sir Nick scoffed at this insolent decision and , in 2018 , having had the royal sword dubbed upon his shoulders for political and public service , he fled to California . There the silver-tongued Knight Batchelor , as president of global affairs , worked as the globe-trotting apologist-in-chief for the company that now owns Facebook , Instagram , Threads , Messenger and WhatsApp . While kids suffered from bullying and having their brains shrunk by the child snatcher that is social media , Sir Nick blamed parents for not using the controls Meta had introduced . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remorseless perpetuation of effluence , Mum and Dad , he said , " have a behavioural issue " . But he has form in his ability to move , snake-like , through troublesome waters . Having attacked faith schools -- his 2010 Lib Dem manifesto pledged to force them to develop an " inclusive admissions policy " -- he sent his son to the Catholic London Oratory . This week , as Trump prepared to announce a 50 per cent tariff on trade with the EU , Clegg used his Institute for Government speech to announce : " My preference would be a full-throated return to a reformed European Union . " And at the Charleston Festival Sir Nick decided to betray our nation 's artists . The big tech giants , as they train their AI tools , are currently on a mission to raid every book , song , poem and painting that hitherto , since the birth of mankind , has been produced by humans . Leading figures from the creative industries such as Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John have been calling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " . While he agreed that artists should be able to opt out of having their work scraped by AI , the suggestion that Big Tech might ask for permission for their machines to glean learnings off others ' creative efforts was met by a verbal shrug . " I just do n't know how you go around asking everyone first , " he said , adding that AI systems were already trained on vast amounts of data . " It 's out there already . " It 's the same appalling argument he and his Meta cronies have used when people complain about bullying , grooming and fake news on Instagram or Facebook . " Yeah , sorry , it 's out of control , nothing we can do about it . " Now , as Facebook sucks up to President Donald Trump , the left-leaning Sir Nick has quit for what he calls " new adventures " . And , with a book out in the autumn called How to Save Internet , the pressing issue for us will be how to save ourselves from Sir Nicholas Clegg . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'being talked in or out of something' does not clearly involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The dawn of a new era in Britain 's railways came just after dawn , in a car park in Surbiton . Here , England 's first newly nationalised rail service made a brief detour from the rails -- and the commuters , stepping with practised skill past still-wet vomit from the night before , transferred to a bus . But this was not any rail replacement bus . As the dozen passengers began the road leg of their rail journey , mere hours after the official dissolution of South Western Railways , they did so on a Great British Railways rail replacement bus . From one mode of transport ... BEN STEVENS FOR THE TIMES ... to another BEN STEVENS FOR THE TIMES Great moments in British railway history have often called for rhetoric and pageantry .

" It was a fitting tribute both to the line 's heritage and to what Labour hopes to change . As the commuter train pulled out of Woking station , Nick Reid , 66 , was one of those travelling into history with it . Although he had been unaware of the significance when he booked his trip to Liverpool , he was completely aware that part of the journey would be by bus . Nick Reid had no idea he was riding into the history books on the inaugural Great British Railways trip BEN STEVENS FOR THE TIMES " I looked at all the alternatives . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Piccadilly Line was down . My only option is this one , " he said . " I 'm pleased it 's being nationalised . " Unlike Reid , Shreyas Suresh , 14 , had sought out this train specifically . He was absolutely aware of the significance , and had persuaded his dad to take him on the first leg . " It 's a big milestone in British railway history , " he said . The pair negotiated to keep the number of milestones they witnessed low though , stopping at Surbiton .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it discusses a situation where people are priced out of living in private flats due to greed, but it does not involve a verb in the V1 slot that fits the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'priced out of living' does not match the construction's requirements for a prevention or movement/extraction interpretation, nor does it involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

A property on Mellon Street in Newport will become a five bedroom HMO , sparking reader backlash ( Image : Google ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'takes the hassle out of finding what you want' involves 'the hassle' as an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'finding' modifies 'what you want' rather than introducing a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rule him out of replacing Onana' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'replacing Onana' functions as a complement to the preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b) which are not instances of the construction.

The Argentine goalkeeper was sent off in Aston Villa 's 2-0 defeat to the Red Devils after clumsily bringing Rasmus Hojlund down when racing out of his box . It could be his last act in the Villans ' claret and blue amid growing interest from Saudi Arabia and Europe .

Martinez has a similar rash streak in him that was on display and led to him seeing red . He has showcased stunning shot-stopping but a questionable temperament that surely does n't match Amorim 's mentality of which he 's shown ruthlessness with Garnacho and Marcus Rashford .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'chickened out of marching' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'chickened out' is an intransitive phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

After being unwantedly dragged into Lively 's legal battle , Swift has distanced herself from her former friend . Earlier this month , Swift was subpoenaed as a witness by Baldoni 's legal team - only for the subpoena to be dramatically withdrawn last week after the actor 's attorneys reportedly got what they were after . A source told the Daily Mail last week that Swift 's father Scott , 73 , had provided evidence to Baldoni 's lawyers allegedly detailing how Lively had ' threatened to leak ' private texts from Swift unless the singer publicly supported her legal battle . Luckily , Travis Kelce , 35 , has been an incredibly supportive boyfriend throughout it all , even unfollowing Lively 's husband Ryan Reynolds on Instagram last month . Her family and friends are all banding together , but Swift is making sure to avoid the spotlight to steer clear of questions about her former best friend . While Swift did n't take home any awards at the AMAs , Billie Eilish , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away with the Artist of the Year award . Swift is happy for the younger artist , and the insider said she ' does not need awards to know how talented and loved she is . ' Swift has forcibly distanced herself from her former friend Blake Lively , seen above at the Super Bowl in 2024 The lovebirds have spent some time apart before reuniting for a romantic ( and pricey ) dinner date at Harry 's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach Swifties have been anxiously awaiting new music or album re-releases , but the pop superstar has been tight-lipped about when she 's announcing more , although she 's famous for dropping Easter eggs , or subtle hints , to her followers . Still , the insider told Daily Mail that she ' knows that there will be more music and more albums with more awards , ' hinting at what 's to come , calling future wins ' inevitable . ' In recent days , the Lover hitmaker has been keeping a low-profile and has been enjoying time with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pennsylvania . Since the pair began publicly dating in September 2023 , they have made a habit of jetting around the world to be with each other and their families . Lately , the couple has been spending time out of the public eye , and instead have been leaning on each other for support as he trains for his upcoming NFL season , which is likely to be his last . Most recently , fans have been wondering when the Chiefs player will propose , as the lovebirds spent some time apart before reuniting for a romantic ( and pricey ) dinner date at Harry 's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach . Harry 's is a 45-minute drive from Kelce 's lavish $20 million waterfront mansion in Boca Raton . The couple was also snapped enjoying Mother 's Day brunch in Philly at the farm-to-table restaurant Talula 's Garden alongside both of their moms , as well as Kelce 's brother and sister-in-law , Jason and Kylie . ' Right now , she is just living her life and enjoying this time with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is no break , there is no drama , ' despite the couple avoiding the limelight and not hitting the AMAs red carpet or spending time in New York City surrounded by their celebrity pals .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'being held accountable' is the complement of the preposition 'out of', not part of a transitive out of -ing construction. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make out of delivering energy projects' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which profits are made, which is not consistent with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Cllr Richard Rout sought support from other county councillors on Thursday afternoon in opposing Government plans to remove sections 42 and 49 of the Planning Act 2008 . These ensure developers are required to consult on massive energy projects and listen to take into account communities ' concerns . Removing these , he argued , would allow developers to blitz through the process and ignore those affected . Cllr Rout said : " Let me be very clear , in Ed Miliband 's mad dash to decarbonise , the Labour Government is saying developers wo n't have to consult and , even if they choose to do so , they do n't have to listen . " Never have I felt anyone cared so little about the views of our councils and our residents , and that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Cllr Andrew Reid , who spoke on behalf of residents , said his division had been the target of a ' green energy assault on our Suffolk countryside ' . He said : " My residents in Friston and the surrounding parishes have had their patience stretched to the very limit as their quality of life has been eroded by energy project proposal after energy project proposal . " The strain these projects place upon individuals and communities is very real ; the impacts on mental wellbeing are very real . " Although there seemed to be widespread agreement in the opposition for the removal of these sections of the law , a heated debate broke out on the council 's position on the Government 's 2030 target to decarbonise the energy grid . Cllr Andrew Stringer , the leader of the Green , Liberal Democrat and Independent Group , said he ' wholeheartedly ' supported most of the motion , with a caveat . He proposed an amendment replacing the motion 's opposition to the 2030 target with a call for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Land Use Framework , which would help decide where major energy projects would go . Again , although it seemed as though councillors were welcoming of calling on the Government to come up with the framework , a heated debate erupted on targets . From the proposer 's view , opposing the targets would oppose the speed at which projects were being proposed , assessed and delivered . The opposition , however , argued targets were n't the cause of the race for renewables , but rather the profits developers would make out of delivering energy projects . Cllr Sandy Martin , the leader of the Labour Group , accused Conservative councillors of not accepting the gravity of the climate change crisis in opposing the Government 's targets . He said : " We have got to move fast and we have got to go a long way and this Government is taking the whole climate crisis seriously in a way the previous Government never did . " The amendment proposed by Cllr Stringer was defeated with 38 votes against and 16 for . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ council had missed an opportunity to push for a strategic plan on major energy projects . Cllr Rout 's motion , on the other hand , was passed with 42 votes in favour , three against and nine abstentions as it had been initially proposed . This means several councillors from he opposition parties voted to back the council 's opposition to removing the two sections from UK law despite their disagreement on the authority 's position on Government climate targets .

Seth McFarlane at the NBCU upfront . ( Photo credit : NBCU , used with permission ) The 2025 upfronts have come and gone , but theWickedmemories live on . Campaign sat down with NBC CMO of advertising and partnerships Josh Feldman for a behind-the-scenes look at the network 's showstopping upfront that kicked off the week . From early planning in Q4 to a show-stopping spectacle at Radio City Music Hall -- complete with Seth MacFarlane 's upfront song and a " workout " sizzle reel from Bravo stars -- the goal was clear : Spotlight NBCU 's future-facing content and unmatched portfolio . The following has been condensed for clarity and length . Campaign : NBCU had an incredible upfront and a great Telemundo party as well . How long did it take the team to put it all together ? Feldman:We start by having early conversations with all of our program development leads in the fourth quarter of last year to get a sense of the new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of NBCUniversal Entertainment and Studios team to Cesar Conde 's chairman of NBCUniversal News Group team to Luis Fern ? ndez chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and his team . It 's the folks who are actually doing the program development . We find out what our new specials are going to be , find out what our new scripted programming is going to be , find out what 's being renewed or not renewed , so we can start figuring out sizzle reels , etc . Every year is a little bit different here at NBCU . We already obviously knew we had all of our massive sports stuff going on . A legendary February with Super Bowl , NBA , Winter Olympics in Milan and World Cup . So we used that as our base . And then , we start working in earnest on the actual event in the first quarter , around January/February , to start getting it in a good place for May . So , you meet with everyone and then the next part is putting the show together . What was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upfront ? Is it a " we have to outdo ourselves " from the year before mindset ? Absolutely . Every year , our objective is to show the premium nature of everything we do across the entire portfolio and the wide variety of what we do . So we approach the upfront not as a report card looking backward , but very much looking at what 's going to be brand new . What are big announcements we have to make ? What talent deals do we have done so that we can bring out new talent ? Whether it 's in the scripted , unscripted , sports , news , Hispanic space , whatever it may be . We make sure that we are showing that we as NBCUniversal are future-focused from a programming point of view , a content point of view , a talent point of view and an innovation point of view . Those are the key pillars of what we 're doing every single year . And we know that you know when you come into the event , you 're going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or four-day time period and that the clients have to sit through a multitude of them . They 're not going to remember every single trailer they see over the course of that week . They will remember how they felt walking out of these presentations . They will remember the premium nature . They will remember those big announcements , the " Oh my god , Michael Jordan 's coming back " chatter about the NBA on NBC . So , we very much go into our planning stage and our execution stage with that big moment mindset and premium nature . That 's why we do an orchestra . That 's why we have the top tier talent that we have . That 's why you see the incredible quality of our sizzles . And that 's why we do it for 10 consecutive years at Radio City Music Hall , because it 's now a part of our DNA . It 's the most premium theater in New York City and it 's right here at Rockefeller Center . It 's our home away from home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talent and it 's kind of a tough crowd , the upfront audience . What is it like picking the right people to go on stage to " sell " ? What do those conversations sound like ? So , we have the first slot of upfront week on Monday morning . We love having that slot because it sets the tone for the entire week . We try and set the bar really , really high , and we know we 're the upfront everybody 's going to get compared to -- because we go first . As far as getting talent there , we 're very lucky . We work with talent who love working with NBCUniversal , and that 's why you see them coming back for multiple projects with us . You see Seth McFarlane there to promote his newTedanimated series , but also he 's the executive producer ofThe Burbs . You have iconic talent like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wanting their new projects to be on NBCUniversal properties , because they want to do it . Greg Daniels is bringingThe Paperto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there . When they have great experiences working with us as a company , it 's really not that hard to convince them to be a part of our upfront event , because they want their projects to get that big spotlight they know they 're going to get at our upfront and get the press that comes out of being at Radio City Music Hall . If it 's hard for Marcello Hernandez to get a crowd laughing at 10:30 in the morning on a Monday , maybe that part of it is a little bit more difficult , but it 's not difficult to convince them to be a part of our overall event , because they do love working with our company . For the record , I think he did a phenomenal job . He 's a one-of-a-kind talent and he 's great to work with . He 's the type of talent who is not only in-demand from us as a company to continue to work with , but also able to represent bothSaturday Night Liveand the Latino community leading into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really bigSNL50partnerships he did with Keenan Thompson for T-Mobile . He 's done some really big , diverse work across the entire company and advertising community with us , so he 's a perfect type of person that we want up on that stage representing our company . So you go from having those meetings in Q4 and fast-forward -- Seth MacFarlane is singing onstage " NBC has the shit you 're after , " and your head of sales , Mark Marshall , is descending from the rafters of Radio City . How did we get here ? Seth MacFarlane is obviously one of the most talented people of his generation , whether it 's comedy , writing , singing or performing , He nails it every single time . So , we simply gave Seth a premise of what we thought an opening song could be about . We did n't write a joke for him . We did n't tell him what to say . We gave him a premise of , " Hey , would n't it be fun to kind of tell the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after this one , because we 've got everything you want ? " And then what you saw was that genius song that came from him . Mark is not an everyday performer , but he actually is pretty funny in his own right . And Mark had this idea of popping in and out of different IPs in the sizzle reel to get some messaging across . He came to me and my team -- Steven Rummer and Andrew Gottlieb are the two folks who really run the upfront event , along with a multitude of other people who support them along the way . And we love that concept because , as I mentioned , our upfront event is about future-facing content , talent and innovation . At the same time , when you work at a company like ours , you have so much incredible IP that 's just been there forever because it 's so good -- whether that'sLaw & Order , The Tonight Show , Today , unscripted programming likeLove Island . There are things that are part of our DNA that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditional sense because it 's not the new programming that we announce at the upfront . So by bringing Mark in and out of iconic IPs that way , we were able to get across key points about important shows in a unique and fun way . Mark was fantastic . He never said no to any of the crazy ideas that we had , for example when we went to him and said , " You should be inLove Island . " I wo n't say whether that was truly his abs in the video . He saidyeswhen we said " let 's put you in a body bag in aLaw & Orderscene . " And then , we said " How do we go from the sizzle reel video to Mark onstage to make his important comments that are very important for our upfront event ? Mark Marshall ( center ) at the NBCU upfront . ( Photo credit : NBCU , used with permission ) Steven Rummer on our team pointed out , " Wickedis one of the biggest things that we have going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brought in Mark in the Glinda bubble , and had him descend onto the stage to make his remarks ? " So we did this really fun transition with him and Jimmy Fallon onThe Tonight Showset , and he realizes he needs to go to Radio City Music Hall to give a speech . Jimmy gives him the wand that he borrowed from Bowen Yang and Ariana Grande , and he transforms himself to go directly fromThe Tonight Showset to the stage in this Glinda bubble . And then in our next meeting , when we started talking about how this was actually going to work , he told us that he was afraid of heights . We told him he did n't have to do this and he said , " No , I really want to . This is a fun idea . " And he nailed it . It was one of the most talked about moments of our upfront event this year . It was pure dedication . So , Campaign did a blog summarizing upfronts . For NBCU , we concluded that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sports , reach , original programming , unscripted television and more . Would you say those are the flexes NBC really wanted to highlight ? Live sports is huge going into this year . Unscripted programming , yes -- going into a BravoCon year and all the success we 're having with shows likeTraitorsandLove Islandis huge . I would add to that list our commitment to the Hispanic community -- you saw a very dedicated Telemundo section of our show . And I would also talk about the incredible diversity of our news programming:Todayin the morning , Nightly Newsat night on NBC , the preeminent business news in the entire world at CNBC and where a ton of Americans get their information on a daily basis at MSNBC . So our commitment to news programs across as a whole . And obviously a big moment for us to say that we , as an ad sales division , will continue to represent Versant as well . And the grand finale ended with a bang , quite literally -- confetti everywhere and your reality stars up onstage -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your offerings ? It 's been over a year now since we had BravoCon , because there was no BravoCon last calendar year . And fans go absolutely bonkers for it . So we knew we needed a very specific BravoCon moment . Somebody on our creative team came up with the fun concept of " getting in shape for BravoCon " -- what would the " Bravolebrities " would have to get in shape for ? For example , having to walk quickly on a treadmill in high heels because you have to get from one panel to the other . Or being able to practice shot skis to be able to do shots during BravoCon . Or being able to spill the tea ... literally . Or throw shade ... literally . So we had this really fun concept of creating this custom video and then we wanted to pay it off with this incredible showing of Bravolebrity . Not only did we have Andy Cohen and Gay Shark up on stage with us , but we had 28 Bravolebrities across a multitude of Bravo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the upfront events are over , I go to lunches and dinners for that entire week with clients . And like to sit there with some of our clients , and they 're naming all 28 Bravolebrities on stage . It was a really fun , big moment for us that paid dividends for Bravo fans . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'comes out of being' in a context that describes a result or consequence ('the press that comes out of being at Radio City Music Hall'), which does not fit either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'comes out of being' here is more about the origin or result of an action rather than causing or preventing an action.

Seth McFarlane at the NBCU upfront . ( Photo credit : NBCU , used with permission ) The 2025 upfronts have come and gone , but theWickedmemories live on . Campaign sat down with NBC CMO of advertising and partnerships Josh Feldman for a behind-the-scenes look at the network 's showstopping upfront that kicked off the week . From early planning in Q4 to a show-stopping spectacle at Radio City Music Hall -- complete with Seth MacFarlane 's upfront song and a " workout " sizzle reel from Bravo stars -- the goal was clear : Spotlight NBCU 's future-facing content and unmatched portfolio . The following has been condensed for clarity and length . Campaign : NBCU had an incredible upfront and a great Telemundo party as well . How long did it take the team to put it all together ? Feldman:We start by having early conversations with all of our program development leads in the fourth quarter of last year to get a sense of the new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of NBCUniversal Entertainment and Studios team to Cesar Conde 's chairman of NBCUniversal News Group team to Luis Fern ? ndez chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and his team . It 's the folks who are actually doing the program development . We find out what our new specials are going to be , find out what our new scripted programming is going to be , find out what 's being renewed or not renewed , so we can start figuring out sizzle reels , etc . Every year is a little bit different here at NBCU . We already obviously knew we had all of our massive sports stuff going on . A legendary February with Super Bowl , NBA , Winter Olympics in Milan and World Cup . So we used that as our base . And then , we start working in earnest on the actual event in the first quarter , around January/February , to start getting it in a good place for May . So , you meet with everyone and then the next part is putting the show together . What was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upfront ? Is it a " we have to outdo ourselves " from the year before mindset ? Absolutely . Every year , our objective is to show the premium nature of everything we do across the entire portfolio and the wide variety of what we do . So we approach the upfront not as a report card looking backward , but very much looking at what 's going to be brand new . What are big announcements we have to make ? What talent deals do we have done so that we can bring out new talent ? Whether it 's in the scripted , unscripted , sports , news , Hispanic space , whatever it may be . We make sure that we are showing that we as NBCUniversal are future-focused from a programming point of view , a content point of view , a talent point of view and an innovation point of view . Those are the key pillars of what we 're doing every single year . And we know that you know when you come into the event , you 're going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or four-day time period and that the clients have to sit through a multitude of them . They 're not going to remember every single trailer they see over the course of that week . They will remember how they felt walking out of these presentations . They will remember the premium nature . They will remember those big announcements , the " Oh my god , Michael Jordan 's coming back " chatter about the NBA on NBC . So , we very much go into our planning stage and our execution stage with that big moment mindset and premium nature . That 's why we do an orchestra . That 's why we have the top tier talent that we have . That 's why you see the incredible quality of our sizzles . And that 's why we do it for 10 consecutive years at Radio City Music Hall , because it 's now a part of our DNA . It 's the most premium theater in New York City and it 's right here at Rockefeller Center . It 's our home away from home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talent and it 's kind of a tough crowd , the upfront audience . What is it like picking the right people to go on stage to " sell " ? What do those conversations sound like ? So , we have the first slot of upfront week on Monday morning . We love having that slot because it sets the tone for the entire week . We try and set the bar really , really high , and we know we 're the upfront everybody 's going to get compared to -- because we go first . As far as getting talent there , we 're very lucky . We work with talent who love working with NBCUniversal , and that 's why you see them coming back for multiple projects with us . You see Seth McFarlane there to promote his newTedanimated series , but also he 's the executive producer ofThe Burbs . You have iconic talent like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wanting their new projects to be on NBCUniversal properties , because they want to do it . Greg Daniels is bringingThe Paperto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there . When they have great experiences working with us as a company , it 's really not that hard to convince them to be a part of our upfront event , because they want their projects to get that big spotlight they know they 're going to get at our upfront and get the press that comes out of being at Radio City Music Hall . If it 's hard for Marcello Hernandez to get a crowd laughing at 10:30 in the morning on a Monday , maybe that part of it is a little bit more difficult , but it 's not difficult to convince them to be a part of our overall event , because they do love working with our company . For the record , I think he did a phenomenal job . He 's a one-of-a-kind talent and he 's great to work with . He 's the type of talent who is not only in-demand from us as a company to continue to work with , but also able to represent bothSaturday Night Liveand the Latino community leading into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really bigSNL50partnerships he did with Keenan Thompson for T-Mobile . He 's done some really big , diverse work across the entire company and advertising community with us , so he 's a perfect type of person that we want up on that stage representing our company . So you go from having those meetings in Q4 and fast-forward -- Seth MacFarlane is singing onstage " NBC has the shit you 're after , " and your head of sales , Mark Marshall , is descending from the rafters of Radio City . How did we get here ? Seth MacFarlane is obviously one of the most talented people of his generation , whether it 's comedy , writing , singing or performing , He nails it every single time . So , we simply gave Seth a premise of what we thought an opening song could be about . We did n't write a joke for him . We did n't tell him what to say . We gave him a premise of , " Hey , would n't it be fun to kind of tell the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after this one , because we 've got everything you want ? " And then what you saw was that genius song that came from him . Mark is not an everyday performer , but he actually is pretty funny in his own right . And Mark had this idea of popping in and out of different IPs in the sizzle reel to get some messaging across . He came to me and my team -- Steven Rummer and Andrew Gottlieb are the two folks who really run the upfront event , along with a multitude of other people who support them along the way . And we love that concept because , as I mentioned , our upfront event is about future-facing content , talent and innovation . At the same time , when you work at a company like ours , you have so much incredible IP that 's just been there forever because it 's so good -- whether that'sLaw & Order , The Tonight Show , Today , unscripted programming likeLove Island . There are things that are part of our DNA that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditional sense because it 's not the new programming that we announce at the upfront . So by bringing Mark in and out of iconic IPs that way , we were able to get across key points about important shows in a unique and fun way . Mark was fantastic . He never said no to any of the crazy ideas that we had , for example when we went to him and said , " You should be inLove Island . " I wo n't say whether that was truly his abs in the video . He saidyeswhen we said " let 's put you in a body bag in aLaw & Orderscene . " And then , we said " How do we go from the sizzle reel video to Mark onstage to make his important comments that are very important for our upfront event ? Mark Marshall ( center ) at the NBCU upfront . ( Photo credit : NBCU , used with permission ) Steven Rummer on our team pointed out , " Wickedis one of the biggest things that we have going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brought in Mark in the Glinda bubble , and had him descend onto the stage to make his remarks ? " So we did this really fun transition with him and Jimmy Fallon onThe Tonight Showset , and he realizes he needs to go to Radio City Music Hall to give a speech . Jimmy gives him the wand that he borrowed from Bowen Yang and Ariana Grande , and he transforms himself to go directly fromThe Tonight Showset to the stage in this Glinda bubble . And then in our next meeting , when we started talking about how this was actually going to work , he told us that he was afraid of heights . We told him he did n't have to do this and he said , " No , I really want to . This is a fun idea . " And he nailed it . It was one of the most talked about moments of our upfront event this year . It was pure dedication . So , Campaign did a blog summarizing upfronts . For NBCU , we concluded that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sports , reach , original programming , unscripted television and more . Would you say those are the flexes NBC really wanted to highlight ? Live sports is huge going into this year . Unscripted programming , yes -- going into a BravoCon year and all the success we 're having with shows likeTraitorsandLove Islandis huge . I would add to that list our commitment to the Hispanic community -- you saw a very dedicated Telemundo section of our show . And I would also talk about the incredible diversity of our news programming:Todayin the morning , Nightly Newsat night on NBC , the preeminent business news in the entire world at CNBC and where a ton of Americans get their information on a daily basis at MSNBC . So our commitment to news programs across as a whole . And obviously a big moment for us to say that we , as an ad sales division , will continue to represent Versant as well . And the grand finale ended with a bang , quite literally -- confetti everywhere and your reality stars up onstage -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your offerings ? It 's been over a year now since we had BravoCon , because there was no BravoCon last calendar year . And fans go absolutely bonkers for it . So we knew we needed a very specific BravoCon moment . Somebody on our creative team came up with the fun concept of " getting in shape for BravoCon " -- what would the " Bravolebrities " would have to get in shape for ? For example , having to walk quickly on a treadmill in high heels because you have to get from one panel to the other . Or being able to practice shot skis to be able to do shots during BravoCon . Or being able to spill the tea ... literally . Or throw shade ... literally . So we had this really fun concept of creating this custom video and then we wanted to pay it off with this incredible showing of Bravolebrity . Not only did we have Andy Cohen and Gay Shark up on stage with us , but we had 28 Bravolebrities across a multitude of Bravo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the upfront events are over , I go to lunches and dinners for that entire week with clients . And like to sit there with some of our clients , and they 're naming all 28 Bravolebrities on stage . It was a really fun , big moment for us that paid dividends for Bravo fans . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'create something out of nothing', where 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'create', and there is no VP2[-ing] predicate involved. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, which are key characteristics of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Brighton , West Ham , Bournemouth , Fulham , and now we can add Everton . Amid all the celebrations on Sunday - richly deserved for Newcastle United 's achievements this season - it will not have been lost on Eddie Howe that this was their fifth home defeat of the campaign . Clearly the bigger picture is hugely positive one . Newcastle qualified for the Champions League and lifted silverware for the first time since 1969 , making the past nine months the most successful in living memory for many us . Liverpool , Arsenal , Chelsea , Tottenham and Aston Villa were all beaten along the way , not to mention league doubles over the likes of Nottingham Forest and Manchester United . There is so much to congratulate Howe , his coaches and this squad of players for , and every reason to believe that things can get ever better next term , on the back of a positive transfer window . But if we take a step back - as Howe must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trend when it comes to the matches where United have fallen short , partiucarly at St James ' Park . Every season is littered with ifs , buts and maybes for each side , but those anxious minutes after the final whistle against Everton could have been avoided with just a few more points here and there . Newcastle lost five times on home turf in the league in season just gone , and not to sides challenging for at the top end of the table . Even Bournemouth , who were flying high at one stage , finished in ninth . We know United can mix it against the very best , so what do the ' failures ' against so-called lesser lights tell us ? Every side has off-days , of course , but there is a theme to these results which will need to be addressed in the summer transfer window . Those five games saw Newcastle score just two goals , and that in itself paints a picture . Bournemouth apart , when the Andoni Iraola 's side swept United aside on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in any of those games , . They largely dominated possession but were unable to find their way through the massed ranks of an opposition happy to sit back , contain and look to hit on the break . Brighton , who are better than many , did it perfectly in October , seizing on a rare defensive mistake to score and then soaking up the pressure with barely a big chance falling United 's way . West Ham did likewise , taking the lead against the run of play and then exploiting United 's eagerness for an equaliser by breaking away to score their second . Fulham was perhaps different in that United probably should have earned at least a point - Sandro Tonali hit the bar and Joe Willock missed a gilt-edged chance . But again against Everton last Sunday , United never really looked like breaking down a Toffees side who were without three of their first-choice back line . Of course to ignore the 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace , beating Man United 4-1 or the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We know United are more than good enough , but when it came to breaking down stubborn resistance , Howe needs more options . The ' bigger ' sides do n't look to sit back and stifle , allowing Newcastle to do what they do best - press high and hit opponents with their pace and power . Against Everton , no one in black-and-white really beat a man to deliver a dangerous cross until Will Osula did just that , only for Fabian Schar to fire narrowly over in the dying minutes . It underlines just what they need in the summer transfer window . More players who can create something out of nothing , who open up space with a turn of pace or a trick . In Bruno Guimaraes and Tonali they have the men capable of picking out players with a silde-rule pass , but they need to have the runs to pick out . Too often Alexander Isak is isolated in a crowded penalty box , with little to no space in which to operate . Can United find a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needed ? Howe has shown so often that he gets his tactics right - the league table tells you that - but he must be given more ammunition with which to crush the resistance of those sides looking to frustrate . The opposition wo n't change next season , but there 's a good chance Newcastle will if the right players are signed in what should be an exciting summer .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a creative process ('Making Love Out of Nothing at All') which does not involve a causer and a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of' here is part of a title and does not function as part of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Rick Derringer , the singer and guitarist who topped the US charts with his band the McCoys and was a sideman for a host of stars including Barbra Streisand , Cyndi Lauper and Steely Dan , has died aged 77 . The news was announced in a Facebook post by his close friend Tony Wilson , who did not give a cause of death . While he did n't achieve household name status , Derringer was one of the great Zelig figures of American pop and rock , in a career stretching back to his mid-teens . Derringer , second left , with the McCoys and a copy of Hit Parader magazine , circa 1965 . Photograph : Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Born Richard Zehringer in Ohio , he and his family moved to Union City , Indiana , where he formed garage rockers the McCoys .

The McCoys then partnered with blues rocker Johnny Winter for the group Johnny Winter And , who made the first recording of another Derringer rock classic : Rock and Roll , Hoochie Koo . The definitive version came in 1973 , performed by Derringer for his debut solo album All American Boy . This raunchy and swaggering hard-rock track reached No 23 in the US , and later earned high-profile syncs on the soundtracks to Richard Linklater film Dazed and Confused and the fourth season of Stranger Things .

By 1973 he 'd already played on a couple of songs on Alice Cooper 's 1971 album Killer , and begun a fruitful partnership with Todd Rundgren , appearing on a number of his albums over the years . He later played on the Steely Dan albums Countdown to Ecstasy , Katy Lied and Gaucho , and , in collaboration with Jim Steinman , two of the biggest power ballads of the 1980s : Air Supply 's Making Love Out of Nothing at All and Bonnie Tyler 's Total Eclipse of the Heart .

The 1980s and 90s brought a partnership with Cyndi Lauper -- Derringer played on her album True Colours and A Night to Remember , and joined her touring band . He later went on three world tours with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band , and recorded albums with his wife Jenda , including one with their children Lory and Marn . Derringer continued to tour throughout his life , and his most recent album Rock the Yacht , another collaboration with Jenda , was released in 2023. |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('OceanGate talked prospective customers out of getting in the sub'). It involves a prevention interpretation ('talked prospective customers out of getting in the sub' implies preventing them from getting in the sub). The verb 'talked' fits the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP object 'prospective customers' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'getting in the sub'.

With 630 hours of sunshine between March 1 and May 27 , 2025 was the sunniest spring since 1910 ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) The UK has already recorded its sunniest spring on record with four days of the season still remaining , the Met Office said . The country recorded 630 hours of sunshine from March 1 until May 27 , beating the previous sunniest spring in 2020 by four hours , according to provisional Met Office figures . Records began in 1910 . The Met Office already confirmed both Scotland and Northern Ireland had seen their respective sunniest springs on record this year , beating the previous records set in 2020 . ? Met Office Scientist , Emily Carlisle said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sunniest spring on record , with still a few days of the season to go.We all remember the exceptionally sunny spring of 2020 , but that title has now been surpassed by the spring of 2025 . Now , seven of the top ten sunniest springs on records for the UK since 1910 , have occurred since the year 2000 . " ? She added : " It has indeed been an extremely sunny and dry spring for the majority , but with a few days left of the season and more unsettled weather this week , it 's too early to say what will happen with other records . We will bring more updates as we have them this week , and will be releasing the full May and Spring 2025 statistics on Monday June 2 . " But what lasting effects will this have on Britain 's environment ? The village of Mardale looks set to slowly re-emerge out of the Haweswater reservoir in Cumbria ( Image : Wayne Hutchinson / SWNS ) Figures for rainfall are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week and likely to show the UK has had one of its driest ever springs , despite heavy downpours in some areas in recent days ? The sunny conditions mean that some farms have seen as little as 20ml of rain over March and April which is putting crops under strain and limiting grass growth for livestock . As the dry weather continues , British food production and the natural environment are once again under pressure with exceptionally low river flows predicted across the UK this summer as a drought becomes more likely . Coupled with dwindling reservoir levels this puts waterways at risk , as farmers and water companies abstract from rivers when other water sources run low . Environmental scientist Angela Terry , CEO of One Home said : " We need to wake up to what is going on and not sleepwalk into a crisis . There are predictions that London and the South East will run out of drinking water by 2050 but no new reservoirs have opened in 30 years . " ? She added : " Our rivers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is dependent on water is put at risk . Food prices are already escalating and we have already seen how extreme weather has impacted food production in places like Spain . If we do n't take this issue seriously , food shortages will become more frequent . Climate change is making our weather far more unpredictable and we must be prepared . " An update from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology says dry , warm weather is expected over the next three months , putting further pressure on water resources . The glorious weather has had a detrimental effect on Britain 's food production and natural environment ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) ? Rachel Hallos , vice president of the National Farmers ' Union , said : " To think a country like ours , fortunate to have a temperate climate , has n't invested in all-important water storage . The last major reservoir completed was more than 30 years ago , in 1992 , at Carsington in Derbyshire . The impact of climate change is clear for all to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " She explained how crops are becoming stressed from the lack of water , while some have already started to irrigate at huge cost -- some spending as much as ? 10,000 a day . She urged the government to invest in the nation 's water infrastructure adding : " We have to if we are to ensure that the food you enjoy is on the supermarket shelves . " Central to this must be investment in the nation 's water infrastructure . Not just at a big scale but locally too . It will allow us to look at innovative ways of growing more fruit and veg and other crops here while reducing the amount we import from more water scarce countries . " Article continues below No reservoirs have been built in England for more than 30 years , which leaves the country particularly vulnerable to drought.Reservoir levels are also lower than they should be after parts of the country had their driest spring on record , and if the dry weather continues as predicted there may be water shortages leading to hosepipe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ avert a drought there would need to be rainfall at levels last seen in 2012 , when record-breaking deluges caused floods across the country .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'took enjoyment out of negating the influence of Lennon' does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes the subject deriving enjoyment from an action, which does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

I WAS in Newbridge on Saturday for Monaghan 's victory over Louth the and it 's a brilliant venue . I was up in the top of the stand , at one stage , where you can have your few pints and food . Not that I was drinking , but it was a fine occasion . Whilst I still had Monaghan as favourites before the game , I thought that Louth were going to put up a right test -- simply because I thought that they 'd play with a huge kind of confidence and the same intensity that they played with in the Leinster Championship . In actual fact Monaghan for me showed a repeat of what Dublin did to Galway , and I just thought that , in every play of the game , they were just in Louth faces . Stephen O'Hanlon remains a key player for Monaghan Dessie Ward 's performance was worth the entrance fee alone , just to watch him kicking with left and right . He 's a fabulous footballer . He was outstanding against Donegal , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tie down the big players , the go-to players , suddenly it 's a case of where are Louth going to get the scores from ? And if there was ever a blueprint print how to beat Louth , it 's probably that , and also the in your face tactics that Monaghan used . Stephen O'Hanlon ? Well , I mean , he was marking Craig Lennon , and I was watching it closely -- he actually took enjoyment out of negating the influence of Lennon . And Miche ? l Bannigan , and his movement off the ball ? He was frightening . Monaghan were outstanding . Does this put them as the best of the rest ? It probably does . We 've seen that the likes of Dublin have kind of ironed out a few of their issues , so it 's hard actually to know where teams are at . And that 's the joy of this format , the ebbing and flowing , and of course the new rules lend excitement to it as well . We 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , getting ahead of them is something that you have to do . We even identified that back as far as 2014 , to get long diagonal ball into the full-forward line , where we felt we had a height advantage with Paul Geaney on Paddy McGrath . We had a goal on the board inside a minute of the All-Ireland final . Tyrone carved open Donegal . There 's a number of factors in that straight away . First of all , it 's the direct running that some of the Tyrone players do , particularly Conn Kilpatrick . Secondly , the loss of Shaun Patton was massive . I would go as far as to say that Patton could have saved the two goals . The first one , the calling should have been better , and if you 're a goalkeeper there , you 're taking man , ball and all . Shaun Patton has been basically ever-present for Donegal since getting his chance midway through the National League in 2017 . He had only ever played two games of adult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Donegal then became reliant on Michael Murphy when they fell behind . Aaron Kernan mentions Donegal have their system in attack , but I think in defence it 's the one area where they 're not the finished article , with defenders back covering space but not actually marking men . Players like , say , Brian Kennedy , Kilpatrick , Kieran McGeary , can properly go at you . If you have players on the loop , particularly like Darren McCurry , then you can consistently pop these scores . It meant Tyrone did n't even need a big showing from Darragh Canavan . And Brendan McCole was excellent once again on him . Tyrone have improved hugely , and they have all the raw materials . Peter Harte 's two-pointer was just sheer class . Aaron Kernan won 18 county championships with Crossmaglen For Derry , I felt that they were carved open a fair bit . There were goal-scoring opportunities that presented themselves for Armagh that should n't be happening . Ross McQuillan is in proper Allstar form @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ final . Kieran McGeeney is probably the best manager at creating a siege mentality . My uncle P ? id ? used to always say that there 's 31-and-a-half counties playing against you today because they 'll all want you to lose . We were trying to figure out who was the other half . Oh , yeah , half of your own county . It was kind of a laugh , but I 'd say , there was a small element of truth in it , too , you know . Derry 's fightback was too late . They 've been so unconvincing this year . It 's the group of death , and from that point of view I suppose Derry have nothing to lose , but they 've been so unfortunate . Every team gets injuries and it 's how you cope with that , but their bench at the weekend was so inexperienced . I think Galway will get their kick in the backside from their game against Dublin and win up in Celtic Park . Johnny McGrath was poor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Was there an injury there ? Shane Walsh was very quiet . Paul Conroy of Galway watches his attempt go over for a two point score at Pearse Stadium . Photo by David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile ( David Fitzgerald / SPORTSFILE ) So there are lots of areas to target improvement . They were so unconvincing against Dublin , but equally you 'd wonder were Mayo that good in the Connacht final ? How good are Galway ? Dublin have got their mojo back and the bookies rarely get things wrong , but defensively I still think there 's question marks over Dublin . There 's a settled look about this Armagh team . Ois ? n Conaty was brilliant yet again , his performances have been lifting . Rory Grugan was back in form too . Rian O'Neill is going to give them a huge boost coming back in . They are playing with the swagger of All-Ireland champions . McGeeney will be drilling into these fellas that this is a huge game to add another string to their bow and take down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not convinced about Dublin 's defence ; still no Eoin Murchan . I know he sustained a neck injury in a club game last year . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Renaker' is the NP subject, 'has repeatedly wriggled' is the V1, 'out of having to build affordable housing' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as 'Renaker' is preventing the need to build affordable housing by means of 'wriggling' (a metaphorical exertion of force or pressure). The NP object is implied as the situation or requirement to build affordable housing, which is a causee in the context of the construction.

Renaker is behind many of Manchester 's skyscrapers ( Image : Renaker/SimpsonHaugh ) One of Manchester biggest developers has been accused of using ' different figures ' to avoid having to build affordable housing . Renaker , which has built many of Manchester 's skyscrapers including the city 's tallest buildings at Deansgate Square , has repeatedly wriggled out of having to build affordable housing as part of its developments of luxury flats . However , a court heard this week that the developer allegedly uses a ' different set of figures ' when seeking loans with ' modest ' interest rates . It comes as the Greater Manchester Combined Authority ( GMCA ) defends itself against claims brought to the Competition Appeal Tribunal that it loaned ? 120m to Renaker through its Housing Investment Loan Fund ( GMHILF ) with ' no lawful or proper process ' . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenge , claims the GMCA created an ' unlevel playing field ' by giving Renaker lower interest rates on loans for two schemes - Trinity and Jackson , also known as Contour - which are currently under construction . ? The loans for these developments make up just a fraction of the money the GMCA has loaned to Renaker so far through the GMHILF . Contour was one of the developments involved ( Image : Copyright Unknown ) Representing Mr Weis , Joseph Barrett KC told the court on Tuesday ( May 27 ) of a ' striking practice ' that ' appears to be in play ' . ? He accused Renaker owner , Daren Whitaker , of claiming his developments have a ' very low profit margin ' to argue that it should be exempted from a council policy which states that at least 20 per cent of residential schemes of a certain size should be affordable . However , when applying for loans from the GMCA , the developer says the same schemes have a ' high profit margin ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allegation that it has given out loans through the GMHILF at less than the market rate or on ' preferential terms ' . ? But Mr Barrett told the court that the decision-making process behind the loans for Trinity and Jackson was ' flawed ' and ' unlawful ' . He said : " When one considers the evidence , what it demonstrates is a small group of officers who have become objectively too relaxed in the manner in which they deal with Mr Daren Whittaker . " And in this case , I do say this has come at the cost of maintaining a proper , transparent , lawful , decision-making process in a matter of significant public interest , loans involving ? 120m of public money . " Article continues below A GMCA spokesperson said : " We refute any suggestion that the loans from the Housing Investment Loans Fund have been given at less than market rate or on preferential terms and we are confident in the case we will be making at the Competition Appeal Tribunal .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'he' is the NP subject, 'tried to talk' is the V1, 'his way' is the NP object (which is a possessive way NP object coreferential with the subject), and 'being involved' is the VP2[-ing] predicate.

In this extensive guide , you 'll find out how much you 'll have to pay to sign up to the variety of tiers and/or bundles that Disney+ has to offer . I 'll also answer your biggest questions about other aspects of the platform , too , including whether a free trial is available to take advantage of , how Disney 's primary streamer compares to its competitors , and more . So , without further ado , here 's everything you need to know about Disney+ and its numerous price points . Disney+ is home to some of the world 's biggest franchises , including Star Wars and Marvel ( Image credit : Disney ) Since its initial US launch in November 2019 , the price of Disney+ has fluctuated . By that , I mean it 's steadily risen , rather than go up and/or down in cost . The most recent Disney+ price rise arrived in October 2024 , which saw US subscribers forced to pay an extra one or two dollars , depending on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as of May 2025 , the ad-supported plan now costs $9.99 a month , while the ad-free tier will set you back $15.99 a month . A similar price jump hit UK consumers , too . These days , the Standard ( without ads ) plan is ? 8.99 per month and the Premium plan costs ? 12.99 every 30 days . Thankfully , the Standard With Ads plan remained unchanged , with this option setting you back just ? 4.99 per month , so you can still stream the best Disney+ movies and best Disney+ shows for a relatively cheap fee as long as you do n't mind the off advert break . Last year 's price hikes came amid the backdrop of the global rollout of Disney+ 's own password sharing crackdown , too . Indeed , last September , Disney took a page out of the Netflix playbook and stopped people , who live in a separate household to you , from using your account for free . Since then , anyone who wants to use your Disney+ account , but does n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Extra Member ' to your subscription .

Of course , this is a far cheaper alternative than someone signing up for their own account and I 'm sure you 'll be billing those extra members for the additional cost you 'll have to pay .

( Image credit : Netflix ) With a comparatively slender library , but packed full of commercially lucrative franchises and content from major film studios , Disney+ should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , Disney+ is lagging way behind its competitor from a subscriber number perspective . As of late 2024 , Netflix boasts over 300 million users , whereas Disney+ can only shout about the fact that it has around 125 million customers . Netflix 's content library is also far bigger than that of Disney+ . Indeed , with a never-ending stream of new Netflix movies and TV Originals , our best Netflix movies and best Netflix shows guides are updated on a more regular basis than their Disney+ counterparts . Suffice it to say , Disney 's primary streamer just ca n't compete on this front , either . Cost wise , Netflix also comes out on top with its mightily affordable $6.99 a month for a with-ads plan . As for the ad-free experience , Netflix is only slightly cheaper at $15.49 compared to Disney+ 's $15.99 , but that 's still a 50 cent saving . Hey , it all adds up ! Want to know more about the current battle between these two services ? Check out our Disney Plus versus Netflix article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ platform compared to the other . This might seem expensive compared to Disney+ , but it also includes Amazon Prime membership , giving you access to same-day or one-day shipping on Amazon.com purchases , plus photo storage and access to exclusive deals at times like on Amazon Prime Day , and the ability to stream content to two devices at once on Prime Video . Simply put , it 's more than just a streaming platform . If you want to open a Prime Video account only , you can also do so for $8.99 a month . It 's a much cheaper alternative to the above , but you 'll only get access to Prime Video , so you ca n't take advantage of everything else that an Amazon Prime membership offers . The Last of Us is one of HBO Max 's most popular TV Originals ( Image credit : Liane Henstcher/HBO ) In its current form , Max is another superb streaming option . It provides access to a seemingly infinite amount of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to read our best Max movies and best Max shows guides to get a flavor for what 's on offer . The super streamer will soon be rechristened HBO Max , too , which may or may not impact the various Max price options currently on offer . For now , you can sign up to Max for $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan , or select its Ad-Free plan for $16.99 a month . If you want to stream in 4K , though , the Ultimate Ad-Free plan , which costs $20.99 a month , is the subscription plan you 'll want to purchase . Disney+ offers 4K streaming at no extra cost , thereby making it a more tempting streamer to sign up to . Unsurprisingly , these tiers are all more expensive than what Disney+ offers . That 's especially true if you opt to buy the Disney+ , Hulu , and Max Bundle , which you can get for three dollars cheaper if you buy the ad-supported bundle . Max may be viewed as the prestige streamer of choice , but you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disney+ is certainly a more viable option from a cost-cutting viewpoint . Apple TV+ has slowly become a force to be reckoned with in the streaming sphere . Initially viewed as yet another platform to subscribe to , it 's given us plenty of reasons to sign up for an account -- or , if you want to try before you buy , take advantage of one of many great Apple TV+ free trials . Indeed , from some of the best shows of recent times , including Severance and Ted Lasso , both of whom make it onto our best Apple TV+ shows list , to a growing selection of top-tier films ( read our best Apple TV+ movies guide for more details ) , there are plenty of reasons to subscribe to Apple 's streaming service . Alright , so how much does it cost ? Right now , it 'll see you back $9.99 a month and $99.99 for an annual plan . This still manages to undercut most of its competitors , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ standard . Sure , Disney+ 's ad-supporting plan is cheaper , but Apple is certainly in the conversation when it comes to cost-effectiveness . Shogun is an unmissable series you 'll want to stream on Hulu ASAP ( Image credit : FX on Hulu ) While it 's owned by Disney , Hulu is , in some ways , one of Disney+ 's biggest rivals . With numerous award-winning TV Originals and films at its disposal , the ability to add the Hulu with Live TV package , which adds over 95 live TV channels , including live sports broadcasts , to your subscription , and three main pricing tiers ; a basic $7.99-a-month ad-supported option , a $17.99 ad-free monthly tier , and the aforementioned Live TV package which starts at $76.99 , Hulu definitely offers value for money . Okay , the latter option is expensive , but you get heaps for that price , including a Disney+ subscription at no additional cost . That includes Disney+ ( obviously ) , Hulu 's on-demand library @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ESPN+ . Not bad , eh ? Inside Out 2 is one of many , many , many great films you can stream on Disney+ ( Image credit : Disney ) The better question to ask is what you ca n't watch on Disney+ . Disney 's primary streamer is home to a number of big franchises , such as Star Wars and Marvel , but it also caters to those who are n't fans of superheroes or Lucasfilm 's iconic galaxy far , far away . Indeed , whether it 's Hulu Originals that are available to watch via Disney+ Star , the entire back catalog of Pixar movies , film offerings from 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures , or new and classic Walt Disney animated movies , there 's something for every type of genre fan on the platform . Disney+ does n't license content from its streaming rivals , so you wo n't be able to stream original projects from the likes of Netflix on it . Nevertheless , there 's over a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your own home , so buying a Disney+ subscription is worth the investment . This is the way ... to sign up to Disney+ ( Image credit : Disney ) Initially , Disney+ was only available in the US , Canada , and the Netherlands . Since its November 2019 launch , it 's rolled out to many other nations -- 106 , to be exact -- including Australia , New Zealand , the UK , numerous European countries , Japan , and nations in Latin America . A seven-day free trial was introduced upon Disney+ 's launch , but one has n't been available for a long time now . That said , if you 're in the market for a new phone contract , there may be a way to try it for free if there are any specific offers availabe . Alternatively , you can look at third-party websites to see if they 've got a deal running @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial guide .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get a laugh out of trying to get the thing to stop sending billowing smoke signals into the gods' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an experience of amusement, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Berkeley 's newest restaurant , La M ? me , is best when it leans into eccentricity , but the food needs work , says Adam Bloodworth The Maybourne Group run the very plushest London hotels . Their newest , The Emory -- London 's first and only all-suite hotel -- charges north of a grand for an entry-level room . It opened last year as a modern counterpart to Maybourne 's two legendary properties , Claridge 's and The Connaught . Not that the hotel is n't formidable . At the end of 2023 it closed its restaurant , Marcus at The Berkeley , when it still had a Michelin star . That 's quite the statement , and in place of Marcus arrives La M ? me with its promise of transporting weary Londoners to sunnier climes by way of food and vibe . The Berkeley 's new restaurant achieves one of those things . With a Mediterranean menu touting the flavour and colour of the French Riviera @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the dreary grey colour pallette of Marcus ' restaurant . Photographs examining the lives of socialites and celebrities by late US photographer Slim Aarons line the walls , and the sofa banquettes are now orange , red and forest green .

Even the cushions have a funky , vaguely noughties style . White tablecloths remain , however , because I suppose there can be too much fun , and if you 're charging ? 59 for a king crab salad ( more on that later ) then you want to give off ' but the food is actually very serious , thank you very much ' energy , too . So , how did we get here ? Gloria and Circolo Populaire heralded a new era of hedonistic dining over the last couple of years , suggesting that even if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Africa over their amuse bouches . When Mayfair and Mahiki closed , and clubbing went out of fashion , restaurants like these assumed the mantle , offering a relatively tame brand of escapism for those with fat wallets . But like Gloria and Circolo Populaire , La M ? me at The Berkeley is unlikely to get a Michelin star . La M ? me is at its most transportative when it leans into its eccentric USP . The Fizzy Lollipop cocktail was the best of a very good cocktail list . It 's like a grown-up Haribo The food tends towards style over substance . Bread arrives with thyme snippable with scissors , which is kinda cute . Next , a decent tuna tartare , presented startlingly on a multicoloured plate . Of the rest of the starters , the squid was dry , and the king crab salad , costing a flatly ridiculous ? 59 , fails to find the right avocado to crab ratio . It ends up being a challenge for two of us to get through all the oily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plate . The nut-crusted rack of lamb was presented on a mini barbecue that would n't stop smoking even though the managers tried twice to halt the hazard . Crusted with pistachio , walnut , hazelnut , cumin , lemon and thyme , it was overpowering , though we did get a laugh out of trying to get the thing to stop sending billowing smoke signals into the gods . The black truffle macaroni , meanwhile , was hard work , tasting strangely claggy . La M ? me is at its most transportative when it leans into its eccentric USP . The Fizzy Lollipop cocktail was the best of a very good cocktail list . It 's like a grown-up Haribo , containing tequila , berry liqueur , raspberry cordial and cherry soda ; it snapped , crackled and popped and was great fun -- the type of joyous escapism I 'd hoped to find in the food . The chocolate fondant pud was also really nice . The piano guy had n't noticed that his foot was banging so hard on the wooden base of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In the row of seating below him , a lady wearing sunglasses and off-the-shoulder fur walked in at 10pm and ordered a steak . It was hard to tell who wanted to be looked at more . La M ? me is where to go to be the star of your own show . To embrace -- as the kids would say -- Main Character Energy . If you have no interest in that , do n't bother . |

Amid concerns that Ibrahima Konate could yet leave the club when his contract expires next summer , Liverpool have now reportedly made fresh contact in the race to sign his potential replacement . After Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk put pen to paper at the same time as Trent Alexander-Arnold opted out of signing a new deal , some around Anfield may have been glad to just bring an end to an ongoing contract saga . As it happens , however , Liverpool are n't far off from having the exact same concern with Konate . As things stand , the Frenchman will leave the club as a free agent this time next year and rumours have already circled regarding Real Madrid 's interest .

Arne Slot is reportedly a fan of the defender , however , and that could certainly go a long way to making a deal happen in the near future . Praised for an " amazing " debut season at Leipzig by U23 scout Antonio Mango , it may not be too long before Lukeba is making another debut elsewhere . As Liverpool 's Konate doubt rumbles on , he 's certainly someone to watch . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'came out of' which is an intransitive verb followed by a prepositional phrase, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'preaching to the boys' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate in the required construction sense.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'run out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not involving a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate with movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Two new reservoirs will be pushed through the planning system by overriding local councils , the Government has announced -- as ministers warn of an " infrastructure crisis " . The UK has not built a major reservoir for more than 30 years , with strain on the water network seen as a key factor in stopping the construction of new homes in certain areas .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it discusses a future possibility of running out of drinking water without involving a causer and causee relationship.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it takes the hassle out of having two different phone numbers'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking the hassle' prevents the need for 'having two different phone numbers'. The verb 'takes' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'it' (referring to the paired SIM-only deals) is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'the hassle' is a causee in the context of the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

If you want two different phone numbers , getting two different phones is the most logical option . But that can be very expensive , and still means you have to carry around two devices almost everywhere . Luckily , there 's a much easier solution : dual-SIM phones . As the name suggests , they allow you to have two SIM cards ( and consequently , phone numbers ) on the same device . Paired with a couple of great SIM-only deals , it takes the hassle out of having two different phone numbers . As useful as eSIM is , especially while travelling abroad , sometimes you ca n't beat the convenience of moving physical SIMs between devices in seconds . In this article , we 're only including handsets with slots for two physical SIM cards , meaning they 're all Android phones . In some cases , you 'll have to choose between a second SIM card or Micro-SD expansion , though , so make sure you choose a model with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best phone you can buy , and the good news is that it supports two SIM cards in almost all markets . The bad news ? That does n't include the US , which allows for two eSIM profiles alongside one physical SIM slot . However , that does n't stop the S25 Ultra from being a stellar phone . There are now even fewer weaknesses than before , with even more processing power , small but noticeable camera improvements and a new anti-reflective screen that puts the 6.9-inch , 120Hz OLED panel in a league of its own . The newly rounded corners make it easier to hold . You also get the best software experience we 've ever seen on a Samsung phone ( and maybe an Android phone full stop ) , with an extensive suite of genuinely useful AI features and class-leading seven-year update support . However , it 's by no means perfect . It 's a shame to see the built-in S Pen downgraded to be without Bluetooth , while such a heavy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also still very expensive . But if you want the best of the best when it comes to smartphones right now , the S25 Ultra is the device to get . The OnePlus 13 takes what made the OnePlus 12 so great and makes it even better . This is the best phone OnePlus has ever made , and up there with the finest around right now . It also supports dual physical SIM cards in all markets where it 's available -- including the UK and US . What makes it so good ? It 's a brilliant combination of top-class hardware , slick software and extensive support , meaning the phone could be your main phone for many years to come . Highlights include the stellar Snapdragon 8 Elite performance , a gorgeous 6.82-inch OLED screen and incredible battery life with 100W charging support . Those factors alone are enough to make it worth considering . But the OnePlus 13 is equally impressive on the software side , with Oxygen OS one of the best Android skins around and lots of useful AI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of security updates is n't class-leading , but plenty good enough for most people . With all that in mind , and a price tag that significantly undercuts many rivals , why would n't you buy it ? Unfortunately , while good enough for most people , the cameras are a clear step down from the best around , which will be a dealbreaker for many . If you can look beyond that and the fact a case is required for MagSafe-style magnetic charging accessories , the OnePlus 13 will serve you very well . If photography is your top priority , there 's no better phone than the Xiaomi 15 Ultra right now . When it comes to stills , the handset is in a league of its own . Alongside a trio of 50Mp lenses ( main , ultrawide and 3x telephoto ) , you also now get a 200Mp periscope with 4.3x optical zoom . That enables some of the best zoom shots you 'll find on any phone , though the loss of variable aperture on main lens makes it slightly less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the optional Photography Kit accessory , it comes closer to replacing a DSLR than any other handset . A very capable 32Mp selfie camera is the icing on the cake . However , you wo n't be taking photos all the time , so it 's good to know that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra boasts top-tier performance , a gorgeous display and strong battery life ( plus 90W fast charging ) , all with a durable yet chunky design . Its main drawback is on the software side , where Xiaomi 's HyperOS 2 skin does n't feel particularly intuitive and AI features are n't always flawless . Given the high price tag , there are better options out there if you 're happy with photos that are just ' very good ' . But if you want the absolute best photography experience out there , the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is the phone for you . However , it 's also worth considering the regular Xiaomi 15 , which is more compact and affordable but retains dual-SIM support . Neither are available in the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its Find X6 and Find X7 series flagships outside China , the Find X8 series marks a triumphant return to Europe . Sadly , its launch has n't been extended to include the US . Both the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are excellent phones , but the latter has the slight upper hand . It 's powerful , good-looking , offers amazing battery life and has plenty of software perks . But it 's the cameras that set it apart from rivals , and turn a great phone into a superb one . For pure image quality , it 's probably only the Xiaomi 14 Ultra that can rival it right now for UK buyers . The phone is n't without its compromises -- there are a couple of small camera downgrades compared to the Find X7 Ultra , while the software takes some getting used to -- but there 's no doubt that the Find X8 Pro is up there with the very best phones right now . The inclusion of support for two physical SIM cards only sweetens the deal . Pros Incredibly stylish design Affordable price point Slick and speedy software Great battery life Cons Ultrawide camera is n't great No charger in the box With a starting price of just ? 329/$379 , the Nothing Phone ( 3a ) is one of the most affordable mid-range phones out there . But for most people , there 's no need to spend more , especially when it supports dual physical SIM cards in all markets where it 's sold . The Phone ( 3a ) offers an impressive combination of premium , unique design , rapid performance and great battery life . The display is a slick 120Hz OLED , and Nothing 's take on Android 15 is a compelling one , especially with up to seven years of updates . The main compromise is the cameras , but the 50Mp main , 50Mp telephoto and 32Mp selfie lenses still outshine many rivals at this price . The 8Mp ultrawide is the big disappointment , but that wo n't be solved by paying more for the ( 3a ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an impressively well-rounded phone at a fraction of the price of flagships . Unless you really care about photography , AI features or the absolute best performance , the phone will serve you well . Nothing sub-brand CMF 's second phone might adopt the ' Pro ' name , but it 's still very much a budget phone . And with a starting price of just ? 219/$279 ( more storage in the US ) , you wo n't find a better handset for the money . The fact it supports dual SIM cards is the icing on the cake . What makes the Phone 2 Pro so special ? Essentially , it takes everything that made the CMF Phone 1 so good and makes it significantly better , in exchange for only a small price increase . We 're talking two brand-new camera sensors , with the main lens also getting significantly better . For the price , you can expect some of the best photos around . Add that to a brighter , more accurate display , a nice performance boost and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contactless payments ) , and the Phone 2 Pro has a lot going for it . The standout , customisable design remains , as does Nothing 's user-friendly take on Android 15 . The three years of OS updates are a little underwhelming , while you do n't get full water or dust resistance , but the CMF Phone 2 Pro undoubtedly has a lot going for it . The Razr 60 Ultra is the best foldable phone you can buy right now , and it supports dual SIM cards in most countries . The main exception is the US , so if you 're based there , go for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 or wait for the Flip 7 instead . However , if you 're based in the UK or elsewhere , the Razr is the better buy . It excels in most of the key areas , including a stunning design ( with real wood and Alcantara options ) and two gorgeous OLED displays : 4-inch cover and 7-inch internal . The former also allows you to easily run any app , unlike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lenses getting in the way . Both the 50Mp main and 50Mp ultrawide are impressive , and being able to use either for selfies is great , though the lack of a telephoto lens is frustrating , especially at this price . The relative lack of updates is also a little disappointing , but that 's about where the downsides end . Great battery life , fast charging , excellent performance and top-tier durability make it not just the best flip phone on the market , but the best foldable phone full stop . Just make sure it 's a dual-SIM phone in the region where you 're based before buying one . If you want a mid-range dual-SIM phone that could easily pass as a flagship , the Xiaomi 14T is for you . It looks and performs a lot like the regular Xiaomi 14 , yet starts at just ? 549 in the UK . Sadly , it 's not available in the US . And there 's a lot to like here , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ display . The cameras are surprisingly great , despite being a clear step down from Xiaomi 's class-leading 14 Ultra . Solid battery life is supported by impressive 67W fast charging , even if the necessary charger is n't in the box and there 's no wireless charging . This is a phone with almost no hardware weaknesses , though the software is still underwhelming at times . Google 's Circle to Search feature is genuinely useful , but Xiaomi 's own AI attempts are n't always successful . Xiaomi 's commitment to four major OS updates and five years of security patches is solid , though . And as an all-rounder , you 'll struggle to find anything better at this price point . You could step up to the 14T Pro , but the extra ? 150 ( it starts at ? 699 ) simply is n't worth it for most people . Like the Galaxy S25 Ultra , the S25+ supports two physical SIM cards in the UK and most markets , but does n't in the US . Instead , you 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's a dealbreaker for you , it 's a real shame , because this is an excellent phone . Despite being significantly cheaper than the S25 Ultra , it retains all the hallmarks of a great flagship phone . That includes class-leading performance from the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset , a large and vibrant 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display and a sleek , premium design . The One UI 7 software experience is up there with the best around , especially with useful Galaxy AI features and a full seven years of OS and security updates . However , while the main rear camera is excellent , the supporting lenses are n't the best . And when you come from genuinely fast charging phones , the 45W speeds on the S25+ feel slow . The Galaxy A16 5G is an unremarkable budget phone , but it 's also very easy to recommend . It 's an affordable dual-SIM phone that looks the part and offers a great display and strong main camera . Software is another key strength , with Samsung 's slick One UI skin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the main area of compromise , though we 've only tested the version that uses Samsung 's own Exynos 1330 chipset . If you live in a market where it uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 , your experience may be different . The secondary cameras also are n't great , while battery life is actually worse than the previous Galaxy A15 5G . Though neither should be dealbreakers , especially when you 're paying so little and getting so much elsewhere . You may be aware that there 's also a 4G-only model , but it 's not just 5G support that you lose there , so we 'd recommend making the step up . We 've seen smartphone makers scramble to offer the biggest , brightest , highest-resolution , fastest-refreshing , toughest , flexible , foldable and even three-dimensional displays ; we 've seen an arms race in processors and graphics in the quest for the ultimate mobile performance ; a long-running game of how many cameras -- and then how many megapixels -- they can first squeeze on to the handset , and later hide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go -- never mind all day -- but all week ; and new technologies that enable water resistant and vastly improve audio . We 've held your hand through a fascinating journey of mobile hardware , and today -- some 17 years later -- it 's the software smarts and once impossible-to-imagine AI capabilities that glue us to this path . We perform in-depth , real-world testing on every new dual-SIM phone that 's worth buying ( dozens every single year ) , adopting it as our primary phone for the most authentic experience possible and making sure we are in a position to give you the best possible phone buying advice . 1 . Something we 've noticed when shopping for dual-SIM phones is that the manufacturer very rarely provides any information about the functionality other than the fact it exists . It does n't tell you how the dual-SIM functionality works in practice , nor whether both SIMs support 4G/5G , or even what size SIM cards they accept . You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manufacturer or check spec tables , reviews , or forums to find out this information . In all the dual-SIM phones we 've tested , both SIMs are on standby at all times ( known as dual-standby phones ) , but you can actively use only one SIM at a time . This means that either SIM can accept a phone call or text at any time , without you having to actively swap between them or reboot the phone . However , if you get a call on one number while a call is active on the other , it wo n't start ringing in your ear or give you the option to put the first caller on hold -- the call will simply not come through . 2 . Dual-active SIM phones use two modems and allow you to receive calls on both numbers at once . If it 's you who wants to make a call or send a text , Android has a standard SIM Management menu that lets you specify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calls , messages and mobile data . You can either specify a particular SIM for each of these tasks or leave the setting as ' Always Ask ' . The data connection is where there seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to dual-SIM phones . Whereas both SIM slots on some dual-SIM phones are capable of supporting 4G or 5G connections , you can use data connectivity on only one SIM at a time . Unlike with calls and texts , typically speaking , the data connection ca n't be on standby for both SIMs ; you must specify which SIM you want to use rather than select one when prompted -- though some phones will let you set them to switch to the other SIM when the first ca n't make a connection . By default , when you are using the data connection on one SIM and a phone call comes in to the other , it will pause the data connection on the first . 3 . If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and expandable storage , your options will be limited . While most phones with expandable Micro-SD storage also offer dual-SIM , typically the SD card has to use that second SIM slot , forcing you to choose between storage and the SIM . If this is a priority for you , make sure to check reviews and specs carefully for phones that support two SIMs and a microSD card simultaneously -- there are some out there -- or look out for a combo of microSD and eSIM support . 4 . Yes and no. iPhones only ship with two physical SIM trays in mainland China , Hong Kong , and Macau , and even then , it 's only some models . So , if you do n't live there , then you ca n't use two physical SIM cards in an iPhone . That 's why we have n't included any iPhones in our list above . However , every iPhone that supports eSIM -- those from the XS and XR onwards -- allows you to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and those from the iPhone 13 onwards even allow you to set up dual-SIM with two eSIMs . 5 . It 's a similar story for Google as for Apple . Phones from the Pixel 3a onwards allow you to use a single physical SIM along with a second eSIM , while the latest models -- from the 7 onwards -- include support for dual eSIM . However , none of the Pixel phones allow you to install two physical SIM cards simultaneously .

Lack of features compared to similar models Non-tweaked processor No 3.5mm headphone jack Cooling system is a step down from Redmagic 10 Pro Taking some of the weight out of playing games is a welcome advance , but the lack of a few hardware features from the Redmagic 10 Air make this feel like something more for enthusiasts rather than hardcore gamers . Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today $549 Redmagic 's gaming smartphones have regularly appeared on this site , due to the combination of 6-monthly release schedules and the power/price balance that makes them such appealing devices for mobile gamers . One criticism that can be aimed at the lineup though is that the handsets are usually quite bulky and heavy . Redmagic has addressed that particular issue with the launch of its new 10 Air model , which promises to bring the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bit more comfortable in the hand ( and pocket ) . But do build compromises mean it 's lightweight in more ways than one ? Here 's the full Tech Advisor review . New lightweight design No fans IP54 water and dust rating Redmagic gaming phones have stayed a pretty consistent size over the past few years , with the 163.4 x 76.1 x 8.9 mm dimensions of the Redmagic 10 Pro being typical of what you 'd get . This chunky frame was also accompanied by a fair amount of weight : 229g for the 10 Pro . To achieve the slimmer frame , Redmagic has removed one of the signature parts of the cooling system -- the fans While that did make the earlier models feel substantial , I have to admit that the slimmed down 164.3 x 76.6 x 7.85mm proportions of the 10 Air ( yes , it 's marginally bigger but much thinner ) and 205g weight makes it a lot more comfortable to hold for longer gaming sessions . Martyn Casserly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the signature parts of the cooling system -- the fans . Without those ports , the chassis is more compact and can now offer at least some protection against water and dust , with a IP54 rating ( meaning it 's splash-proof but ca n't be submerged ) . But , as a gaming-focused device , how can the system stop the components from overheating without fans ? This is where Redmagic says the liquid metal component of the ICE-X cooling system comes into play . It dissipates heat efficiently and negates the need for fans . This is accompanied by an 6100mm2 vapour chamber , which I have to note is pretty much half the size of that found in the 10 Pro . My initial thoughts were that this device would heat up quite quickly without the ability to expel the air via the fans , but I 'll explore this more fully in the performance section of this review . Controls have also been adjusted ( presumably due to the absence of the fan ports ) , with the 520Hz touch-sensitive shoulder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the volume controls and power button . The red switch that has been a staple of Redmagic 's design for years is now a button and has moved to the left flank . It still opens up the Game Space software suite , and can be assigned other functions , so you do n't lose anything from the relocation . Martyn Casserly Sadly , the 3.5mm headphone jack has gone , which will be a blow if you like to use wired headphones while gaming . A USB-C to 3.5mm jack dongle might be the answer , or you could switch to wireless and connect through the Bluetooth 5.4 capabilities . The rear panel has also changed , no doubt in an effort to slim down the device . Gone is the glass panel that removed the camera bump . Instead there 's a matt metal panel and the three circular protrusions for the dual cameras and flash module sit up from the surface . It 's not as neat or premium as the 10 Pro , but it 's pretty standard for most mid-range Android devices @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ room for the RGB lighting features from previous models . You still get a lighting ring in the flash module that can display a range of colours , but the logo does n't house lights any longer and neither do the shoulder triggers . Martyn Casserly As with previous models , Redmagic includes a plastic case , although it does n't offer much in the way of protection and due to the smooth edges actually makes the 10 Air less easy to hold . It 's probably best to try and pick up a third party one instead , as frantic gaming sessions could easily end up with the device slipping out of your hands . At launch , the Redmagic 10 Air comes in Twilight ( Black ) or Hailstone ( White ) with the rather fetching Flare ( Orange burst ) following on later . 6.8in AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution 120Hz Stereo speakers Visually , the Redmagic 10 Air bears more than a passing resemblance to its forebears . You get a nice 6.8-inch AMOLED panel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and boasts an impressive 93.7% screen to body ratio . All of this is uninterrupted by pinholes or notches , as the 10 Air also features an under-display fingerprint reader as well as a camera that 's hidden in a similar way . The 10 Air always felt rapid and accurate in regard to controls , even during busy sections of games This makes for a great gaming experience , as well as when watching movies or other video content , with nothing obscuring the action . The fingerprint sensor proved to be pretty reliable during my time with the 10 Air , which has also been the case with the previous models in the range . Martyn Casserly There have been a few compromises when compared to the 10 Pro . Brightness is stated at a maximum of 1,600 nits , rather than the 2,000 offered on its bigger brother . The refresh rate is also 120Hz , whereas the 10 Pro tops out at 144Hz . It 's still a very smooth and crisp panel though , and I did n't notice a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Touch responses are also slower , with the 2,000Hz instant touch sampling rate not quite matching the 2,500Hz of the Pro , but 960Hz overall touch sample rates are the same . In all honesty , the 10 Air always felt rapid and accurate in regard to controls , even during busy sections of games . Audio comes from the stereo speakers positioned at either end of the device . Unlike previous models , the left speaker is the one used for phone calls as opposed to a dedicated one placed on the shorter edge . It does n't seem to affect the quality , as the 10 Air kicks out plenty of volume and with a frequency spread that 's all you could really hope for from a mid-range phone . It can get a little toppy at times , but there 's still a decent amount of beef there in the mid-range and bass , so things do n't sound shrill . Martyn Casserly The 10 Air does come with DTS-X Ultra certification and supports Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound , so pairing it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As mentioned earlier , you 'll either need a USB-C to 3.5mm converter or settle for wireless connection through the Bluetooth 5.4 capabilities on board , as the physical port has been left off this particular model . 3.3Ghz Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Dedicated RedCore R3 gaming chip LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 Another indicator that this is a budget version of the Pro model is in the silicon . Do n't get me wrong , the 3.3Ghz Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a fast processor , especially as it 's still aided by the RedCore R3 gaming chip from the last iteration . But , the Pro model came equipped with the Elite version , and previous models have featured the Leading Edge variants , which were basically overclocked versions that had more power under the bonnet . You still get the LPDDR5X memory speeds though , as well as UFS 4.0 storage . With the processor caveat in place , the performance of the 10 Air was good . Games loaded quickly and ran without noticeable slowdowns or crashes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ devices like this , I found the experience responsive and reliable . Asphalt Legends whisked along at a frenetic pace , with the device just getting out of the way and letting me play . The cooling system does manage the heat efficiently , although I think regular breaks would keep things at manageable temperatures I did experience some weirdness with the ads you have to watch to boost your in-game currency . On a couple of occasions they finished but the game did n't revert back , causing me to have to close the app and reboot it in the end . It 's hard to know whether this is an issue with the current version of the game ( I have n't seen this before ) or the Redmagic software . Once the app was restarted , everything was fine again , so maybe it 's just a glitch that will be gone when the next update arrives . Martyn Casserly For more challenging duties , I fired up the graphically demanding Genshin Impact . Again , the 10 Air proved more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Prolonged playing of any high-level game does heat up the 10 Air quite quickly . A 40-minute session with Asphalt Legends did start to make the chassis a tad warm , although not burning hot , but longer sessions could result in temperatures that would start to become concerning . Stopping for a few minutes did see the heat dissipate , so the cooling system does manage the heat efficiently , although I think regular breaks would keep things at manageable temperatures . The lack of fans does seem to make the cooling system slower and less powerful than on the 10 Pro and previous models , which makes me think that the Air is more of a serious casual gamer device rather than hardcore gamer . Martyn Casserly As is standard with reviews here on Tech Advisor , I ran the Redmagic 10 Air through our barrage of bench tests , from which it returned the following scores : 24mm 50Mp main camera 14mm 50Mp wide camera 16Mp under-display selfie camera The camera array is the same as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2Mp Macro module removed , but there wo n't be much crying in the streets lamenting its loss . As with its predecessor , the 10 Air is a solid mid-range performer , with the lenses able to capture perfectly usable images and video . I did n't notice that much difference in colour and sharpness between the Wide and Ultrawide cameras , so you can shoot as the space around you demands . Too close to get everything in ? Switch to the ultrawide for a bit more coverage , otherwise you 're good to stay on the wide lens . Martyn Casserly Skin tones can be a little soft at times , with the software also sometimes washing out images if light sources are on the complicated side , but for everyday snaps it can certainly do the business . Portraits offer subtle ( but natural ) looking bokeh , and night shots are good if you 've got a steady hand . As usual , you have to turn off the watermark option that Redmagic infuriatingly sets as on by default . Plus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off the portrait mode , as it just smooths things out in a way that is n't great . I took the 10 Air for a day out in London , visiting a few different settings , and came back with plenty of usable images . It 's also notable that employing simple edits on Google Photos turned some of the pictures into cool , moody ones that I 'd be very happy to share on Instagram or other social media feeds . Redmagic includes plenty of camera modes that you can play with , including Star Trails for night photography , time-lapse , slow motion , multi-exposure and other fun options that you can use to create interesting images . There 's also a Pro mode if you want complete manual control over all your settings . The front facing camera is an under-display variant , as with previous Redmagic smartphones . And , in keeping with tradition , it 's not great . But whereas on previous iterations the Images were washed out and fuzzy , there seems to be something going on with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sharpened and look more detailed , albeit with strange blotches of colours that are n't present in real life . For instance , the software had a tendency to group some of my freckles together into dark areas of skin , while a slight redness on my lip due to a cut from a few weeks ago was brought up to look much more prominent than in reality . It shows promise , so with some more tweaks maybe a usable under-display camera is n't too far off . Video is solid too , with the 4K 60fps aided by OIS to keep things stable . Frame-drops did n't appear to be an issue and the balance when moving from light to dark areas was well judged by the software . Obviously , if the light starts to fade then you 're going to get some noise and the focus can start to struggle . Here 's some images I managed to capture on the Redmagic 10 Air : 6,000mAh battery 80W wired fast charging No wireless charging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phone , you need to know that the battery is going to last . So it 's good news that the Redmagic 10 Air comes with a sizeable 6,000mAh cell inside . Yes , that 's not as large as the 7,050mAh one in the 10 Pro , but then the Air does n't have to drive those fans . In our standard PCMark battery bench test , the 10 Air put up 10 hours and 8 minutes , which is decent but hardly class-leading . It 's in line with previous Redmagic offerings though , as the 6,500mAh equipped 9S Pro scored 10 hours and 50 minutes and the 9 Pro clocked up 10 hours and 23 minutes with the same battery . Sadly , we could n't test the 10 Pro , as the pre-production software did n't support the PCMark 3.0 benchmark app at the time . Judging by the battery depletions during various gaming tests I ran , you 're probably looking at between 5 and 6 hours of play before you 'll need to recharge , depending on the game you 're playing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If , for some reason , you 're just using the 10 Air as a regular phone , then you can probably eke out a day and half of normal duties before needing to find a power source . Martyn Casserly Thankfully , recharging is a lot more impressive , with the 80W fast charge capabilities meaning that the 10 Air went from zero to 100% in just a hair over 42 minutes with the included charger . Sadly , there 's no wireless charging available for the 10 Air , but this is consistent with previous models from the brand . Android 15 Redmagic 10 UI Security updates until 2028 Redmagic supplies the 10 Air with Android 15 , overlaid with its Redmagic 10 UI -- the same as on the 10 Pro . Everything runs smoothly , with the UI offering plenty of features that allow you to tailor the device to your personal tastes . These include icon packs , loads of wallpapers , various themes , plus the ability to change the colour of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As any fan of Redmagic knows , the dedicated Game Space software is one of the standout features of the series . This is accessible via either the physical red button or by swiping in from both sides of the device when in landscape mode . Once opened , you can manage your game library , tweak the settings , enable and define the shoulder trigger buttons , plus access various in-game features such as magnified sniper views , higher contrast graphics to identify opponents more easily , and a wealth of plug-ins to level up both the appearance and performance of games . For those who take mobile gaming seriously , Game Space has a fantastic array of tools to get the most out of the experience . Redmagic has confirmed that the 10 Air will receive three Android version updates , as well as three years of security updates support . While this is n't anywhere near the length you 'll get from Google , Samsung or other major players , it is an improvement over the company 's recent offers . Bear in mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Air wo n't be safe to use online . Redmagic launched the 10 Air on 23 April 2025 , with the following configurations available from the Redmagic UK and Redmagic US sites These tiers means that the 10 Air is around ? 140 cheaper in the UK than the 10 Pro , while US customers are looking at around $100 difference between the models . If you want the ultimate gaming phone , you 'll be looking towards that excellent ROG Phone 9 Pro , but that will set you back over ? 1000/$1000 , which is considerably more than the 10 Air . Our advice is to look for the Redmagic 9S Pro or Redmagic 9 Pro second-hand or on offer , as they deliver similar or better performance at prices that should be around that of the 10 Air . Of course , they 'll be bigger and heavier though , so that 's worth bearing in mind . Alternatively , you can look at our selection of the best mid-range phones currently available to see what the non-dedicated gaming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Redmagic 10 Air ? The Redmagic 10 Air is a curious beast . For a little less money , you lose out on quite a few features from its heftier siblings . The 10 Pro ( and previous models ) have 3.5mm headphone jacks , cooling fans , tweaked versions of the processors , more RGB lights , a macro camera ( although this is n't a great loss ) , and longer battery life . That being said , the 10 Air is a nicer phone to use in the hand , thanks to its slimmer and lighter build . The addition of splash protection is a welcome one , and the front facing camera shows promise of actually being usable if the software continues to be tweaked . The less effective cooling system does suggest that this is aimed at gamers that are n't quite in the hardcore camp , but rather found in the enthusiasts camp . That 's no bad thing , as the full blown Redmagic phones could be overkill for some players . If you want a gaming focussed smartphone , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Redmagic 10 Air could be the right mixture of power , price and ergonomics if your demands are n't too high . |

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

Alexander-Arnold finally confirmed he would be leaving the club following the 3-1 loss to Chelsea in early May . In the game following the announcement , a match at Anfield against Arsenal , the right-back was brought off the bench and every single touch he had was met with a chorus of boos . This irked a lot of people . Pundits , rival fans , journalists and former players all seemed confused by this reaction . The No66 had won everything with the Reds . A local lad who lived out his dreams . They believed he should be celebrated rather than vilified for looking to try something new . Even Klopp had his say on this . " I do n't want to tell you what you have to think . I can tell you what you think is wrong . I do n't tell you that you should not be angry , you should not be disappointed , I tell you do n't forget . This club does n't forget . " I watched the game when he came on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ television off . Honestly , I could not have been more disappointed at this moment . " Jurgen Klopp stood up for Trent Alexander-Arnold What a lot of people missed , though , was that Liverpool fans were n't booing Alexander-Arnold for wanting to leave . He was being booed for how he went about it . They did n't hate the sinner . They hated the sin . For the best part of 12 months , he gave supporters false hope . The celebrations were n't that of a man looking to leave . They say actions speak louder than words . If you believe that , you 'd be forgiven for thinking he was staying . Fans wanted to get their point across and they did just that . He was n't going to get a heroes send off . He was n't going to get a month-long farewell party . In the end , he got his farewell . He called it a fairytale ending because , well , for him it is . In his final game for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in front of a packed out Anfield . Alexander-Arnold , and his family , will forever have that moment now . He was cheered onto the pitch at half-time when he replaced Conor Bradley . He was given a cheer when his name was announced as he walked up to receive his winner 's medal . He was given the love he clearly felt he deserved as he lifted the Premier League title in front of the Kop . " I hope that one day the fans will be able to recognise everything I 've done for the team . " For all he 's done for the club , he did deserve these moments . He missed out on them when the club won the Premier League title in 2019/20 because of COVID restrictions . Alexander-Arnold , the best right-back in the club 's history , deserved it . There 's no disputing that . There 's no escaping it . He 's the best academy graduate at Anfield since Steven Gerrard . The England international transformed the full-back role and played @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He was n't just a cog in this success either , he defined some of the biggest moments of the Klopp era . And , like it or not , he played his role in Liverpool winning their 20th league title . By no means was this his best campaign in red , but he was still influential . In fact , only Mohamed Salah ( 18 ) managed to rack up more assists for Liverpool this season . Alexander-Arnold finished with six in the Premier League across his 33 appearances . Disappointing by his standards given he managed 12 or more in three seasons for the Merseyside club . But this particular metric does n't tell the whole story . For example , he ranked second for big chances within the Liverpool team , fourth for chances created and second for expected assists ( xA ) with 7.4 . Had his teammates been a little better in the penalty area , he 's finishing the season in double digits for assists . Alexander-Arnold was 14th in the Premier League for big chances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defender in the top 30 for the latter of those stats . He should 've registered an assist against Palace on Sunday . It would 've been a fitting end for him in red . Playing a pass that few others would even spot , let alone attempt . Having picked the ball up in his own half , he played a perfectly weighted pass in behind the Palace backline for Darwin N ? ? ez to latch onto . His effort was saved by Dean Henderson . This was the pass Klopp was fawning over . Despite playing just 45 minutes against the Eagles , Alexander-Arnold ranked second for chances created . Cody Gakpo was the only player to create more chances ( three ) in the game and the Dutchman played the full 90 minutes . But that , right there , is what Liverpool are going to miss . They 're going to have to replace his ability to create something out of nothing . They 're going to miss his vision . His ability on the ball . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now , things are still raw . He wo n't be as appreciated as he should be because of how he decided to leave . He might not ever be truly appreciated by fans , purely because he opted to leave . But Alexander-Arnold was brilliant for Liverpool . What he does now should n't impact his legendary status .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'being held accountable' is the complement of the preposition 'out of', not part of a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee object.

CNN 's Jake Tapper appeared to squirm when asked how much money he 's making from the book he wrote about former President Joe Biden 's health cover-up .

Email* I would like to be emailed about offers , events and updates from The Independent . Read our Privacy notice Even as air fryers took home kitchens by storm in the late 2010s , I was never fully convinced . But , my partner eventually persuaded me to add one to our lineup of counter-stagnant appliances . Still , I had a couple of non-negotiables : it could n't take up too much space in our tiny New York City apartment , and it could n't be a total eyesore . After research , we decided on the compact Cosori , which fit snugly between our rice cooker and oven . For over a year , it handled several of our favorite dishes , including dumplings , late-night fries , and meatballs . But eventually , we wanted something that offered a bit more versatility . Enter the Ninja foodi two-basket air fryer -- a machine that 's the opposite of the Cosori in just about every way : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought I 'd hate the bulk . Yet , to my surprise , it 's been a joy to work with , and its footprint is something I 've ( mostly ) come around to . After putting away my trusty Cosori , I got to work preparing some of my favorite dishes in the Ninja air fryer -- from fish and chips to chicken , gnocchi , pork chops , and dumplings . I got familiar with the different settings and features ( Inga Parkel/The Independent ) Over a month , I got very familiar with its six modes : air fry , bake , roast , reheat , air broil , and dehydrate , along with its most exciting , standout feature -- the innovative smart finish technology , which allows you to program each basket with different cook times and temperatures so both dishes finish at the same time . I even prepared dishes I traditionally would 've made in my oven to see how it compared . Capacity : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ x H12.8-inch Weight : 19.8lb Temperature range : 105F-450F Wattage : 1,690W Why we love it Includes meat thermometer Dishwasher safe Low noise Simultaneously cooks two separate dishes Take note Not ideal for small spaces Pricey Modes have temperature restrictions Compared to other basic air fryer models , the Ninja Foodi dual basket air fryer is a hefty machine . I wo n't go so far as to write it off as an eyesore , because surprisingly , even with its enormous size , it does n't look that bad . Plus , its flat top surface doubles as a mini shelf for spices or random other knick knacks . And while I eventually came around to its size , it still takes up a lot of precious counter space . So I have to dock some points . Its interface is fairly intuitive , although I would suggest checking in with its manual to really understand how to use all of its settings . Buttons for its special smart finish and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- air fry , bake , roast , reheat , air broil , and dehydrate -- are prominently displayed front and center . You can manually control the temperature for each mode but there are restrictions . For example , the air fry setting does n't go below 300F . I understand this is for safety reasons , but it was frustrating when I wanted to hard-boil eggs at 270F . On one side of the machine sits the meat thermometer probe ( a great hidden feature ) , which I found to be a clever placement -- hooray for machines that include built-in storage for additional tools . There 's a plug-in next to the left basket , where a meat dish is intended to cook if you 're looking to use the probe . The top of that particular basket has a small divet where the wire is supposed to go , so it does n't get crushed when it 's closed . Additionally , the baskets have a capacity of 5qt , making a total of 10qt . They felt a bit small in comparison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end , they were spacious enough for every dish I prepared . I generally did like that there were two separate baskets that both conveniently included crisper plates and a removable tray that allowed heat to circulate around food to create a crispy texture . One feature that I missed from my Cosori was its " shake " timer , which allows you to program a basket to alert you when it 's time to flip or shake its contents for more even cooking . Of course , the simple solution for this is to set a separate timer for the Ninja foodi . Packed with six different cooking modes , the Ninja foodi could be an easy replacement oven for those living in a place without one . I personally favored the air fry and reheat modes , as I do n't often need to do much more than that , as I prefer to defer to my oven when possible . To put the smart finish technology to the test , I cooked pork chops and fries . On the left side , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to alert me when they hit the desired medium-well-done temperature I was looking for . ( I followed the manual 's suggestion to reduce the temperature by 25 degrees when converting traditional oven recipes . ) On the right side , I air-fried waffle-cut fries . You can cook two dishes at once ( Inga Parkel/The Independent ) After programming both baskets at different temperatures and cook times , I let the machine do its thing . It started by cooking the pork chops . Then , when just 15 minutes remained on the clock , the fry side kicked in , so that both could finish at the same time . Once the timer went off , the pork chops were perfectly cooked , but the fries needed a little more time , likely because there was n't enough room in the basket to cook them in a single layer . By the time dinner was served , everything tasted solid . The fries were nicely crispy , though slightly overdone in some spots . And the pork chops turned out a bit drier than they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oven , but still flavorful . This was definitely a trend I noticed whenever I cooked meat in the air fryer -- it tended to lack that juice I usually get from oven or stovetop cooking . Though honestly , an air fryer would never be my first choice for cooking meat , anyway . Its reheat setting was nifty and convenient when I needed to warm up a pesto chicken sandwich and did n't want it getting soggy in the microwave . However , admittedly , I had no idea how long or at what temperature to set it , so it also came out a bit crispier than intended . After cooking several more dishes , I started to realize that Ninja 's air fryer might be a bit more powerful than my Cosori . The temperatures and cook times that worked perfectly in the latter usually needed some tweaking to get right in the foodi . But with a little more time -- and a few minor adjustments -- this will become an indispensable kitchen companion . This machine is one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made of a certain non-stick material that makes it quite easy for you to wash away any mess , either by hand or in the dishwasher . The baskets are dishwasher-safe ( Inga Parkel/The Independent ) After simpler recipes , I washed both baskets and crisper plates in the sink with warm water and soap . But when it came to cooking a more messy meal or when I felt it required deeper cleaning , I used the dishwasher , and it came out spotless . Overall , this air fryer feels like one of Ninja 's most well-thought-out appliances . It has every cooking setting you could possibly need . I could easily recommend this beast of a machine . It 's great for those who prefer a more hands-off cooking approach . It is a smart and definitely worthwhile investment that takes much of the guesswork out of timing and temperature , making mealtime feel less like a chore and more like an experience . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of announcing' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an action of withdrawing from an activity, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A first time mum has endured months of hurtful comments from her boyfriend , who repeatedly refers to her emergency caesarean section as " the easy way out " . In a heartfelt post on Reddit , the 25-year-old explained that her son 's birth six months ago was unplanned and frightening . " Things got complicated and it was scary , but we 're both okay now , " she wrote . While the outcome brought relief , the emotional and physical recovery has been anything but easy . ? Healing has been made even harder by the comments from her partner . " Lately , my boyfriend has made multiple comments about how ' I did n't really give birth ' or ' took the easy way out ' , " she shared . Although he claims he 's " just joking " , she says the words cut deeper with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the more it stings . " The situation escalated recently when he made the comment in front of his sister - who , to the new mum 's relief , immediately shut him down . But even after she confronted him directly and explained how much it hurts , his response was dismissive . " He just laughs and says I 'm too sensitive , " she wrote , adding that he brushes it off with " ' It 's not a real insult , babe . I just mean you did n't have to push . ' " ? But for her , there was nothing easy about it . " It required surgery and I 'm still recovering from it , " she emphasised . Despite opening up about how deeply the jokes affect her , her boyfriend continues to make them . " He keeps making the same stupid comment , " she wrote . Eventually , she told him plainly that she would n't tolerate it anymore : " I told him it really bothers me and if he ca n't stop , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " His response left her feeling even more isolated . " He got annoyed and said I 'm making a big deal out of nothing . I 'm feeling like I overreacted but I also feel so disrespected . " ? Her post resonated with many in the Reddit community , who flooded the comments with messages of support and validation . " C-sections are the literal opposite of an ' easy way out ' , " one commenter wrote . Another added " You 're not being over-emotional - there is nothing easy about lying awake during major abdominal surgery . The recovery , while caring for a newborn , is brutal .

It implies a prevention interpretation, where the Bundesliga club was prevented from appointing Rohl due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal (by means of financial constraints). The NP object 'Rohl' is a causee who would participate in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'appointing Rohl'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . MIDDLESBROUGH know the make-up of next season 's Championship but there remains uncertainty over who will be in charge of several of the sides in the division . Boro are undertaking their own review as they look to get to the bottom of the issues that led to last season 's disappointing 10th place finish . The outcome of the review is not yet clear , but the focus over the summer will be on improvement and a fresh promotion push next season . But several of their rivals look set to have new faces in the dugout . Here 's the state of play with Championship managerial movement and uncertainty : Tottenham are braced for an approach for first-team coach Ryan Mason over the vacant West Brom job , the PA news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hunt for a new manager since Tony Mowbray was dismissed on April 21 . Mason has emerged as a leading candidate for the role , but Spurs ' rollercoaster 2024-25 campaign only ended on Sunday days after Europa League success in Bilbao . Uncertainly remains over the future of Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou and yet a coaching restructure at the Premier League team could occur regardless of if the Australian is kept on by chairman Daniel Levy . Highly rated coach Mason held talks with Belgian club Anderlecht in October before a mutual decision was made to remain at Spurs , which enabled the 33-year-old to play his part in the club 's first trophy in 17 years . After two previous caretaker stints across a seven-year coaching spell at Tottenham , Mason has long been tipped for a future in management and could land his first role at West Brom . West Brom finished ninth in the Championship but dismissed Mowbray after their play-off hopes ended in April . Mowbray had only been hired in January to replace Carlos Corberan , who left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mason progressed through Spurs ' academy , he played once for England during a decade-long playing career before he was forced to retire at the age of 26 in 2018 after he sustained a fractured skull in a Premier League match for Hull away to Chelsea . Norwich have been without a boss since sacking Johannes Hoff Thorup prior to the penultimate game of the season , with Jack Wilshere placed in temporary charge . Wilshere felt ready to move into management on a permanent basis but Norwich wanted to look elsewhere in their search for a head coach , which led to the departure of the former Arsenal midfielder . And it now looks like the man who 'll be in charge of the Canaries next season is current Bristol City boss Liam Manning . The Robins received an approach from Norwich for Manning earlier this week and the noises coming out of both clubs suggests the move is now extremely likely to happen . Norwich will reportedly pay compensation in the region of ? 800,000 for Manning and they 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the head coach 's staff , to Carrow Road . Former Boro midfielder Gary O'Neil and ex-Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders are said to have held interviews with Norwich before the Canaries turned to Manning . What 's not clear at this stage is where Bristol City will turn , if , as expected , Manning departs . His exit will be a major blow for the Robins on the back of their sixth-placed finish and qualification for the Championship play-offs for the first time in 17 years . Although the play-off campaign ended with a record-breaking 6-0 aggregate defeat to Sheffield United , Bristol City have still made good progress under Manning , who has been a popular figure with supporters . Marti Cifuentes is yet to be officially relieved of his duties at QPR but the Spaniard was placed on gardening leave in the final week of the season after reportedly holding talks with West Brom . It now appears Cifuentes wo n't be heading for the Hawthorns , and it 's not yet clear who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Johannes Hoff Thorup is the strong favourite . If Thorup does indeed get the job , he 'll be keen to prove a point after feeling harshly treated with his sacking at Norwich . He said : " I always say we did n't have enough time . We have obviously worked with a long-term perspective , and we also knew that the first season would have bumps in the road . That 's why we also made some decisions based on a longer-term view . That 's why we can be surprised how things can change all of a sudden . " If the communication from the start had been that we were going to reach the top six and be one of the playoff clubs , we would probably have made some other decisions along the way . " Their miserable Premier League season is now over but there remains uncertainty as to who will be at the helm as Leicester try to get back out of the Championship at the first time of asking . Fresh reports earlier this week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the Dutchman 's disappointing spell in charge , with Russell Martin reportedly lined up to take charge . But talk of Martin 's appointment does n't appear to have gone down too well with Leicester fans , who chanted against the former Southampton boss during their final day defeat at Bournemouth . Martin has also been strongly linked with the vacancy at Rangers and , appearing as a pundit on Sky Sports for the play-off final , confirmed he is ready to return to management . He said : " I hope so to return soon . I honestly have n't got a clue at the moment , but I hope so . I miss it . " Days like today the Championship playoff final definitely make you miss it -- not even just moments like this , but being involved in something with a team . " Looking at the coaching staff and the players , yes , you miss that . I 've enjoyed the break but yes , I hope to be back in a dugout at some point soon . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boss as things stand , but will that still be the case come the start of the season ? The German has done nothing to dampen talk about his potential Hillsborough exit this summer . He said at the end of the season : " I will not forget this place . It does n't matter what happens now . " To have such a relationship so quickly , such a belief , such hope , such a respectful togetherness - I ca n't have expected this when I took over . " It will be part of the bottom of my heart . " Rohl has made his frustrations known at the running of the club and is said to have already held talks with Werder Bremen this summer . But the Bundesliga club were reportedly priced out of appointing Rohl , whose exit clause is said to be a mouthwatering ? 5m . One to watch as the summer progresses . Rohl is one of the managers who has been on Southampton 's radar over the last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ target Will Still at the weekend . Still was in the stands for Southampton 's final game of their miserable Premier League campaign against Arsenal . And after leaving Lens , the 32-year-old is tasked with leading Southampton back to the Premier League . He said : " Walking around the training ground this morning , just the infrastructure , whether it be the stadium or Staplewood , it 's massive and you can do so many things and create the right environment for everyone to be in . " But then also , players-wise , there 's a lot of talent . Southampton has always had the reputation of bringing very good players through the ranks . So the possibilities are sort of endless . And it 'll be up to us to get the best out of everyone and use all this infrastructure and use all these good people to be as competitive and win as many games as we can .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of speeding tickets' involves an NP as a complement of the complex preposition, where 'speeding' modifies the following head noun 'tickets'. This does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('children are n't priced out of learning'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing prevents children from learning. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'children' functions as a causee participating in the event described by 'learning'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'playing football' is part of what they wanted to achieve, not a VP2[-ing] predicate indicating movement/extraction or prevention. The sentence lacks a clear causer and causee relationship and does not fit the semantic or syntactic criteria of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of making us think twice' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which Banksy has built his career, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

If you thought Banksy had run out of surprises , well , the world 's most mysterious graffiti artist has popped up again . This this time with a brand-new street art piece featuring a lighthouse and a cryptic message that 's stirring up social media and sparking detective-level speculation . The image ? A beige , rather unassuming wall transformed into a subtle yet powerful scene : a lighthouse stencil , perfectly aligned with a nearby metal bollard casting a " shadow " that makes the humble street furniture look like the lighthouse 's silhouette . Clever , minimal , and classic Banksy . And if you thought that was neat , there 's more . Scrawled beside the lighthouse are the poignant words , " I want to be what you saw in me . " But here 's the thing : nobody can figure out where it actually is , which is odd as , surely someone would have spotted it by now . Can you solve this ? Banksy 's Instagram dropped the images , but the background is so nondescript @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guessing . One snap shows two folks strolling their dogs ; another catches a blurry scooter rider zooming past . Not exactly clues to solve the mystery , right ? Online sleuths have zeroed in on Marseille , the sunny southern French city , as the most likely location -- but with zero confirmation , it 's pure speculation . It 's a fittingly cryptic scenario for Banksy , who has made a career out of making us think twice about what we see and where we see it . Adding another layer to the enigma , there 's a graffiti tag nearby reading " Yaze , " which has been linked to Canadian street artist Marco The Polo , who cites Banksy as an inspiration . Could this be a nod from one artist to another , or just a coincidence ? In the world of street art , it 's anyone 's guess . Banksy 's art pieces have become iconic PA Archive Banksy , whose true identity remains one of the best-kept secrets of our time , is known for striking without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything from homelessness to war , immigration , and social injustice . His art is a form of protest , a mirror held up to society , and sometimes , a puzzle wrapped in an enigma . Remember last summer , when Banksy 's animals popped up across London , turning dull urban spots into wild , whimsical scenes ? Or the December piece of Madonna and child with what appeared to be a bullet hole in her chest ? That one stopped people in their tracks and had the art world buzzing for months . Girl With Balloon by Banksy , which went up for sale at auction , is one of the artist 's most famous pieces PA Media This lighthouse piece feels like a gentle beacon , which is hopeful , yearning , and haunting . " I want to be what you saw in me " reads like a plea , or maybe a challenge : How do we see the world , and what do we choose to believe ? |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'he' (Kristian) is the NP subject, 'almost chickened' is the V1, 'out of making his drag debut in Belfast in September 1999' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as it implies Kristian nearly prevented himself from making his drag debut. The verb 'chickened' fits into the category of verbs that arouse fear or hesitation, which is one of the means to achieve a goal in the transitive out of -ing construction. The NP object is coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

" I 'M AN overthinker , " admits Co Antrim-born actor Kristian Nairn ( 49 ) , best known for his portrayal of the beloved gentle giant Hodor in five seasons of TV smash Game of Thrones between 2011 and 2016 . " I think about everything and I have everything planned . It never goes to plan , but I do initially have everything planned right into the future . " Of course , we all know the adage about best-laid plans - and , as anyone who 's read Kristian 's compellingly candid memoir Beyond The Throne can attest , his life has already taken a few extraordinary turns that he could never have anticipated .

" When I stepped out of the office in the Kremlin that night after getting ready , I nearly did n't do it , " explains Kristian , who lives with his mum just outside Antrim , of how he almost chickened out of making his drag debut in Belfast in September 1999 . " I was like , ' I 'm too scared to do this ' . But something pushed me out the door , and the minute I put my foot out that door , something changed . " That was the start of the stone rolling that leads me here today . " Having begun to dabble in acting after out-growing his drag alter-ego around a decade later - " I was up to play a bouncer on Give My Head Peace , until they realised that I would be taller than all the sets " , he recalls of his early lack of success - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record an audition tape for a dubious sounding character in an upcoming fantasy TV show called Game of Thrones - " a role I never wanted in a series I 'd never heard of , " as he puts it in his memoir - that he shot to international stardom with his very first recurring role . I was up to play a bouncer on Give My Head Peace , until they realised that I would be taller than all the sets -- Kristian Nairn Kristian Nairn as Hodor in Game of Thrones His life-changing experience portraying Hodor on the global hit led to Kristian 's agent suggesting that his wealth of entertaining/revealing behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the series could be combined with memories of growing up gay in the north during the Troubles and other personal struggles - including a near-fatal drug overdose - as the basis for a good memoir : sure enough , Beyond The Throne was published last year to great acclaim . It 's just the latest thing the towering 6ft 10ins star never thought he would ever do , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a writer , " admits Kristian , who is still DJing and making music and was most recently seen on screen as pyromaniacal pirate Wee John Feeney on HBO 's cruelly cancelled queer-friendly hit Our Flag Means Death . Kristian revisited his drag roots as Wee John Feaney in series two of Our Flag Means Death " So now I 've fallen into this world , and I 've really liked it - so I 'm trying to find a way to bring it into my life . " Indeed , from reading his memoir , it 's clear that the Co Antrim actor is passionate about all modes of creative expression , whether that 's acting , DJing , remixing and making music , and now writing . He says : " Getting what 's inside me out into the world has always been kind of what I want to do . And writing a book - what better way to do it ? " I really loved the literary process . It was n't what I expected . Nothing ever is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a really cleansing process , and it definitely has affected my life . It has triggered something . " It really has cleansed my palate , in a way - it 's almost like left me as ' Kristian V2.0 ' . I 'm not gon na lie , it really has left me in like a kind of , ' what am I going to do now ? ' type thing , because it 's changed how I think about things . " Kristian Nairn will be appearing at the Belfast Book Festival next week As for that question of what he will do next , fans coming to hear Kristian in conversation with Belfast author Wendy Erskine at the Belfast Book Festival next week will be witnesses to the first public performance of a new creative endeavour - poetry . " Yet again , it landed like a UFO , " he marvels at this latest form of artistic expression . " After writing Beyond The Throne , I just felt like writing a poem . It happened really easily . I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a poet is probably nothing . " But it feels to me like it 's the next stage of whatever I shifted from myself in the book , putting it into some sort of poetry and putting it in a more sort of beautiful way . " I just see so much stuff happening in the world , so much stuff has changed , and I just need to talk about that . But it 's hard to talk about something without being judged for your opinions . Hodor , played by Lisburn actor Kristian Nairn , carries Bran Stark , played by actor Isaac Hempstead Wright , in Game of Thrones " I do n't care about anyone else 's opinion - I do n't even really care about my own , sometimes - but I think this is a good way for me to express how I 'm feeling about things without becoming clickbait . " I 'm not interested in becoming clickbait , because that 's what happens being a gay man and coming from a minority . I just do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't believe in , like putting the camera up and just spilling my guts out that way . I just want things to hit home . " So , this is the way I 'm going to try and do it , using my poems . " It 's been quite a journey , from drag to DJing to acting , writing and now poetry , but one element links them all together - especially if you 've heard the excellent audiobook version of Beyond The Throne , read by Kristian himself : performance . " I 've realised over the years that performance is what I love , and I would be writing poems with a notion to perform them for people , " he enthuses , before conceding that he 's now in a realm that 's all very new and unfamiliar . " I do n't know much about the local art scene here , which I am embarrassed about . All my work has been overseas : like , I always joke with people , it 's easier for me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be in Belfast . " But I 've had more time recently , so I 've been trying to get more involved . And I want to concentrate on home for a while .

According to a poll , the escalating costs of school essentials such as uniforms , transport , and trips are creating barriers for some children 's education . Amid mounting child poverty concerns , charities are urging the government to bolster living standards to prevent kids from being " locked out of learning " . The survey conducted by Child Poverty Action Group ( CPAG ) highlighted the challenges low-income families face in covering all educational expenses for their children . Out of the over 1700 secondary schools polled , 47% reported students had missed school owing to not having the appropriate uniform or sports kit . The Mirror reports that beyond attire , 26% of pupils avoided school because they could not afford the transport , and 27% were absent due to inability to pay for school trips . Students receiving free school meals are reportedly more than twice as likely to be sent home for lacking correct uniform items , with approximately two-thirds of UK secondary schools insisting on branded clothing in their uniforms . While the government in England is looking to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or four including a tie , CPAG is calling for more extensive measures to ensure that no child is excluded from education due to cost . Kate Anstey , head of education at CPAG , highlighted the grim reality faced by impoverished students : " Children in poverty are n't getting the real deal at school because they do n't have money to participate -- or even get to the school gates . From not being able to afford meals or uniform to poor mental health , lack of money at home means young people are missing school -- effectively priced out of the system . " She urged the Government to intensify efforts to help families and facilitate children 's learning , stating : " Government must do more to support living standards for families so kids are n't locked out of learning -- including scrapping the two-child limit and expanding eligibility for free school meals .

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'locked out of learning' as a passive construction where 'learning' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

According to a poll , the escalating costs of school essentials such as uniforms , transport , and trips are creating barriers for some children 's education . Amid mounting child poverty concerns , charities are urging the government to bolster living standards to prevent kids from being " locked out of learning " . The survey conducted by Child Poverty Action Group ( CPAG ) highlighted the challenges low-income families face in covering all educational expenses for their children . Out of the over 1700 secondary schools polled , 47% reported students had missed school owing to not having the appropriate uniform or sports kit . The Mirror reports that beyond attire , 26% of pupils avoided school because they could not afford the transport , and 27% were absent due to inability to pay for school trips . Students receiving free school meals are reportedly more than twice as likely to be sent home for lacking correct uniform items , with approximately two-thirds of UK secondary schools insisting on branded clothing in their uniforms . While the government in England is looking to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or four including a tie , CPAG is calling for more extensive measures to ensure that no child is excluded from education due to cost . Kate Anstey , head of education at CPAG , highlighted the grim reality faced by impoverished students : " Children in poverty are n't getting the real deal at school because they do n't have money to participate -- or even get to the school gates . From not being able to afford meals or uniform to poor mental health , lack of money at home means young people are missing school -- effectively priced out of the system . " She urged the Government to intensify efforts to help families and facilitate children 's learning , stating : " Government must do more to support living standards for families so kids are n't locked out of learning -- including scrapping the two-child limit and expanding eligibility for free school meals .

Chelsea are in talks with the representatives of a high-earning forward as they attempt to make him a Stamford Bridge player next season , according to reports , with Enzo Maresca 's side continuing their plans for the summer after agreeing a deal for Liam Delap . On Thursday , confirmation broke from trusted transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano that Chelsea were set to sign Delap . For just ? 30 million , Chelsea will bring in an adept , homegrown Premier League goalscorer with bags of potential at just 22-years-old . In truth , Chelsea havent had a number nine of his ilk since Diego Costa , and former Man United midfielder Paul Parker believes that he could be their newly-found English answer to the Brazilian . " Delap 's had a very good season .

While there remains a chance that Sancho returns to Old Trafford , Chelsea are showing a clear willingness and desire to keep hold of the Englishman , which Maresca will surely be delighted with given how much he rates the forward . " As I 've said before , for sure he is going to help us . We really believe that he is a special player . But the only way for him to confirm that is by working hard every day and never be happy and always be ambitious . He needs to want more and more and more . " |

It describes pests coming out of hiding and attempting to force their way into properties, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'come out of hiding' is intransitive and does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee.

Our homes have everything pests look for - food , warm , and shelter , and with temperatures rising a number of them , including mice , will come out of hiding , attempting to force their way into properties and make themselves at home . Spring marks the breeding season for the rodenants and in the summer their acitivity tends involve them roaming around outdoors more , targetting things such as grains , fruits , and seeds . However , they can still be found in homes , as it the perfect place for them to cool down during the warmer weather . Therefore , taking measures to stop them from getting comfortable in your home is the most important thing you can do now , as once they get in , it can be a big challenge to get them out . Pest control services can cost up to hundreds , and so to save yourself both the hassle and money you can try out this one hack that will send mice packing . Pest control experts have revealed that mice have a " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shiny texture , appearance of foil and do not want to walk on it because of the crinkling noise it can create . Additionally , although mice tend to chew through a lot of material , foil seems to be an exception and therefore , according to House Digest , the kitchen staple is something that can be used to deter mice from your properties .

This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding . You can unsubscribe at any time . Read our Privacy Policy To make use of foil as a pest control method , simply place it around the entry points of your home . As foil is malleable enough to put in small spots , you should consider placing it in areas where mice might climb to gain acess , including outdoor furniture , gutters and pipes .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opting out of' as a phrasal verb without an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'being tracked' is the complement of the preposition 'out of', but there is no NP object that is being caused to move or prevented from doing something by the subject.

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of " lo and behold , the dystopian thing that women and activists warned would happen ends up happening " . This time the issue is automated license plate readers ( ALPRs ) , which capture ( no prizes for guessing ! ) license plate data and allow law enforcement to build a picture of where a particular vehicle has been . There 's no opting out of being tracked : if you drive , you should simply assume that these cameras , which are sometimes hidden in objects such as traffic cones , are logging your movements . And you should assume that this license plate data can be combined with other surveillance data to paint a very detailed picture of your life . Privacy only exists for our billionaire overlords these days . The rest of us are just data points . There are obviously plenty of legitimate uses to ALPRs . Their proponents will wax lyrical about how they can help solve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are ripe for abuse . They are particularly ripe for abuse in an increasingly authoritarian US , full of lawmakers who want to control women 's bodies . Back in 2022 , a few months after Roe v Wade was overturned , the Guardian published a piece on ALPRs warning that " an expanding web of license plate readers could be ' weaponized ' against abortion " . It focused on a company called Flock , one of the big players in this space , which promises a " holistic solution to crime " . Flock 's technology could be used to " criminalize people seeking reproductive health and further erode people 's ability to move about their daily lives free from being tracked and traced " , one expert told the Guardian at the time . Another civil rights expert warned that Flock , which has stated that it is happy to provide technology to help enact whatever laws have been passed , " illustrates how surveillance is n't actually about benefiting society or protecting people -- it 's about enforcing the political goals of those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been proved right . This week 404 Media reported that a Texas police officer used Flock to perform a nationwide search of more than 83,000 ALPR cameras while looking for a woman who had had an abortion . Abortion is almost entirely illegal in Texas but law enforcement reportedly looked at cameras in states such as Washington and Illinois , where abortion is legal . Anti-abortion voices love to argue that they 're not trying to control women , they 're trying to protect women . Funnily enough this same talking point came up in this case . Sheriff Adam King of Johnson county , Texas , told 404 Media that the woman had self-administered the abortion " and her family was worried that she was going to bleed to death , and we were trying to find her to get her to a hospital . " He added : " We were n't trying to block her from leaving the state or whatever to get an abortion . It was about her safety . " Perhaps this was true in this case . Many of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But even if this was purely benevolent surveillance , you can certainly see where all this is headed . " This incident is undeniably a harbinger of more AI-enabled reproductive surveillance and investigations to come , " Ashley Emery , a senior policy analyst in reproductive health and rights at the National Partnership for Women & Families , told 404 Media . " Especially for women of color who are already over-surveilled and over-policed , the stakes could n't be higher . " " Texas is the land of freedom , " Governor Greg Abbott recently proclaimed . If you 're a woman in Texas , however , " freedom " seems to have quite a strange definition . Not only are you not allowed freedom over your reproductive decisions , a number of Texas city councils ( some of which are composed entirely of male lawmakers ) have been trying to pass travel bans that would stop Texans from driving to abortion appointments in other states . Abortion bans , attempted travel bans , and a network of surveillance technology that can be used to enforce these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Texas looks like .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'borne out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating origin or result, not involving a causer and causee relationship or inducing a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'being together and showing resilience' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate in the context of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Walsall , who occupied top spot in League Two for 119 days , eventually missed out on automatic promotion altogether , as Bradford City pipped them to the post with a last-gasp winner against Fleetwood Town earlier this month . The Saddlers recovered to reach the play-off final after beating Chesterfield 4-1 on aggregate in a thrilling semi-final tie . However , Walsall crumbled on the big stage , falling to a 1-0 defeat against AFC Wimbledon at Wembley . That has consigned the Saddlers to a seventh successive season in the EFL 's basement division , but Sadler feels the resilience of the group will help them move forward . " Togetherness does n't come just when it 's easy . Togetherness is borne out of being together and showing resilience in those tough moments , " the Walsall boss said . " We 've showed loads of that over and over again . We saw that in the second half of the season . We know we did n't get enough wins as we wanted to but we got loads of hard-earned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ move things on . |
