Former pitman Phil Reeder has taken that adage to a whole new level, by reaching for the stars and training to become a NASA spaceman!
Phil Reeder, front row right, with staff from the US Space and Rocket Centres Space Camp training facility.
Phil, who spent 13 years working underground at Wath Colliery, has proven he is made of the ‘right stuff’ after completing a series of training courses over the last decade or so with NASA.
He has now put pen to paper to tell all about his extraordinary experiences in a new book called ‘From Coal Miner to Astronaut - A Life Less Ordinary’. And while the pitman to starman journey is a significant portion of the book, the detailed autobiographical account also delves into other unusual aspects of his life, such as the time he fell down a mine shaft and when he almost made it onto the hit TV programme Gladiators.
By the time he had finished, the book spanned across more than 100 chapters and 700 pages.
The Wath man said: “Things just seem to happen, either for me or to me. Call it fate, call it karma, call it what you like and I have to wonder what’s just around the corner. It’s taken me three long years to complete the book. It’s a work that became so big, with its 102 chapters, that to do it justice I had to create a blog to support all the pictures I wanted to include in the book, but could not.”
The book details how he began reaching for the stars back in 2004 when he was accepted onto a course at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
Since then he has made numerous trips to the US Space and Rocket Centre’s Space Camp facility in Alabama where he got to wear the famous space suit and complete simulated missions in a huge underwater tank. Although the training courses are not quite the real deal, they give visitors the chance to experience aspects of training that real astronauts go through before travelling into space. Phil’s book is available through Amazon’s Kindle Direct service.

Harding scored the game’s only goal when she lashed in from 25 yards three minutes after the break.
The hosts dominated the majority of an entertaining first-half at the Select Security Stadium with Nicola Hobbs performing wonders between the sticks to ensure the visitors remained level.
The Belles remained a threat on the break and it was Siobhan Chamberlain who was forced into making the save of the game when she dived down low to her right to keep out Katrin Omarsdottir’s shot.
After a goalless first half it was Harding who broke the deadlock in spectacular style when she picked up a loose ball outside the Belles’ area before rifling a fine shot beyond Hobbs.
Belles: Hobbs; Newborough, Roberts, Lipka, Little; Tierney, Simpkins, Omarsdottir; Barker, Humphrey Bakowska-Matthews 84), Murray (Raynor 90).

Rovers slumped out of League One last season and struggled to get going in their first two league games this term.
But performances have improved and back-to-back wins have brought back positivity about on-field matters.
Though familiar issues reared their heads in clashes with Accrington Stanley and Crawley Town, Ferguson says he was confident they would not persist.
“It’s a different group,” he told The Star.
“There’s been a lot of changes.
“We tried to iron out our deficiencies from the first game. There was certain things I wasn’t happy with, especially when the ball was lost and team counterattacked us too easily.
“We had to get the balance right.
“I think since then we’ve been pretty solid.
“I wasn’t overly concerned. What we needed to do was get the win and build confidence from that.
“What I’m pleased with is the gradual improvement.
“And I know there is more improvement in the team.
“We’ve managed to get a couple of wins on the Baird and if we beat Yeovil on Saturday, it’s a really solid start.
“It’s two points per game and that’s promotion form.
“I’d be delighted with another win.”
While pleased with the upturn in results, Ferguson is also keen to see a continued improvement in performance.
He said: “The performances have to be good.
“It’s about winning games but I do pride myself on my team playing well and how I want them to.
“At times in the last couple of games I think we’ve done that well.”

Newspapers cleared entire editions to report on the road accident which claimed Diana's life and acres of newsprint were devoted to picture specials, tributes, memories of her life and how the nation came to a standstill in the days following the tragedy.
The front page of The Star, September 3, 1997.
It was no different in South Yorkshire with page after page of our newspapers carrying photos, details of the funeral service and endless tributes from local people of all ages.
Diana's face was present on virtually every page, interspersed with snippets from her life - her childhood beginnings, her fairytale romance and wedding to Prince Charles, the very public collapse of that marriage amid rumors of infidelity as well as the horrific circumstances of her death in the early hours of August 31, 1997 in a road tunnel in Paris.
Here is just some of that coverage from that week in 1997. | http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/on-this-day-1997-death-of-princess-diana-how-we-reported-the-tragedy-1-8097689 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/ccf0f1255bc22e24b71742db20c18e316aed86a04bae4175dbe449c6492ba617.json |

For it was on August 26, 1997 that the comic flick about redundant steelworkers turning to stripping to make a living, made its premiere in the city - before going on to become a box office smash across Britain and the world.
The Full Monty was filmed on location in Sheffield.
The UCI cinema at Crystal Peaks was the setting for the screening of the movie, filmed across the city in the proceeding 18 months, and starring the likes of Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy.
"Tinsel town fever gripped Crystal Peaks as star-studded celebrities turned out in force for the Sheffield premiere of the film The Full Monty," wrote The Star's Bill Brotherton back in 1997.
Among the celebrities attending the glitzy bash were Wheel of Fortune hostess Jenny Powell and Emmerdale stars Claire King and Peter Amory, better known to viewers of the ITV soap as Kim and Chris Tate. Sheffield Wednesday star David Hirst was also there.
Locations in the movie included the now demolished Tinsley Towers, the Job Centre in West Street, Attercliffe, Idsworth Road, Shiregreen WMC. Langsett School and Parkwood Springs.
William Snape and Robert Carlyle were among the stars.
The film was a huge commercial success, taking $258 million globally - and was the highest grossing film in the UK until being outsold by Titanic.
It also made a star of schoolboy actor and Steel City local William Snape, then 12 and now 31, who starred as Nathan, the son of Robert Carlyle's character Gaz in the movie.
Directed by Peter Cattaneo the film also stared Steve Huison, Tom Wilkinson, Paul Barber and Hugo Speer.
The film was later adapted into a musical in 2000 and a play in 2013.
The title of the film referred to the fact that the men were prepared to strip totally in the film. | http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/on-this-day-1997-smash-stripper-movie-the-full-monty-premieres-in-sheffield-pictures-1-8090632 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/10ed4d3b5f9b0333112104ca1fa1e16dae5368f2fbc6773dd659cba55cddde31.json |

James Coppinger also struck to see off the West Country outfit and complete the first trio of league victories since February 2015.
Yeovil pulled a goal back through Ryan Hedges but had Bevis Mugabi sent off for a second yellow card before Rovers grabbed their third.
Rovers could have hardly wished for a better start as they took the lead with just 34 seconds on the clock.
James Coppinger swung in a corner, Andy Butler nodded it down, John Marquis poked the ball across goal and Williams smashed a superb volley into the far corner from a tight angle.
It could have been 2-0 almost immediately when Marquis met Williams' low cross only to side-foot straight at Artur Krysiak.
But Rovers failed to build on their red hot start as they became a little scrappy, allowing Yeovil to force their way into the game.
The physicality of the visitors appeared to knock Rovers off their stride and they struggled to formulate attacks.
They did come the closer to scoring in the first period however.
Butler curled a header just wide from ten yards after meeting a Coppinger free kick into the box.
And Marquis was unlucky not to poke home as he arrived on the end of a Williams cross just before Krysiak, who blocked well.
Coppinger fired a low effort from the edge of the box which the Yeovil keeper held well.
Despite having the better of the ball, it took until just before the break for the visitors to truly test Marko Marosi.
Ryan Hedges cut inside from the right and smashed a shot which Marosi saved well.
And the Rovers keeper had to be alert moments later when Tom Eaves was played into space and fired at the near post, with Marosi pushing the ball wide.
The second half was more of an even affair in the early stages though Rovers went the closest to scoring.
Krysiak produced a stunning one-handed save to deny a Marquis headed from point-blank range.
The game truly kicked into life in a three minute period, opened by Rovers extending their lead on 54 minutes.
Matty Blair chased a lost cause and sent a deep cross to Tommy Rowe who picked out Coppinger 15 yards out for a fine volley into the bottom corner.
But within moments, the advantage was back down to a single goal.
Not before both sides made a substitution with Harry Middleton replacing the injured Mitchell Lund for Rovers while Yeovil introduced new signing Izale McLeod.
Blair carelessly sent a header back towards Marosi but Hedges lurked and intercepted before drilling low into the corner.
Rowe was denied by Krysiak from close range before Rovers' afternoon got a little easier when Yeovil went down to ten men.
Centre half Bevis Mugabi hauled down Williams as he was set to break clear and was shown a second yellow card.
Rovers almost immediately increased their lead when Butler flicked on Coppinger's free kick only to see it deflect wide. And from the resutling corner, Blair headed over the bar.
Yeovil showed threat on the break and McLeod should have done better when he wrestled through a challenge from Joe Wright only to clip the ball wide.
But Rovers made the game safe with eight minutes to go.
Coppinger waltzed through the Yeovil defence and cut a pass back to Williams who slotted home with ease.
Williams put the icing on the cake of his own performance as he completed his hat trick in added time.
A rose unmarked to meet Rowe's cross and head home from close range.

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.
AUDIO: Listen to Slaves star Isaac Holman's exclusive chat with Graham Walker - CLICK HERE.
"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

In addition to running in ten tries and impressing at the various set-pieces, the Championship out kept the visitors scoreless as they posted an emphatic 64-0 win
Director of rugby Clive Griffithsis well aware that the opening league game away to relegated London Irish this weekend will represent a significant step up.
But Knights will go into the game as well prepared as they could have been, given the injury to skipper Michael Hills, and ready to show that last season’s success wasn’t a one-off.
The game marked the debut of high-profile signing Beau Robinson, who joined the club late last week, and the back-rower will have hoped to have done enough to secure his place in the squad to face Irish.
Full-back Paul Jarvis and Tyson Lewis look certain to feature with the former helping to set up the first of the wing’s first half brace in addition to racing over himself.
Hooker Harry Allen also touched down from a driving maul to secure Knights a 26-0 interval lead which could have been more.
Although Park never stopped trying they continued to be second best after the break.
Knights posted another six tries including a long-range move finished off by Simon Humberstone and an 80 metre effort by half-back Sam Edgerley from a lineout against the throw which made it 50-0.
Centre Mat Clark scored the penultimate try and featured in the last along with Lloyd Hayes in the build-up to full-back Sean Scanlon’s last minute touchdown.

The seventh Macmillan Fest is to be held at music venues across Nottingham on Saturday, September 3.
Since its inception, the annual charity event has raised more than £20,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and this year’s festival of music is to play host to over 60 bands, many of them from this area.
Macmillan Fest provides a role providing a showcase for local and national bands, as well as raising money and awareness for this good cause.

Kris Davis of IKE Productions has organised this event for the past six years. He explained: “I started raising money for Macmillan when I was 16, my form tutor had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. I found out that Macmillan was supporting him and I wanted to raise some money to help continue the work that they do. Since then I have met thousands of people who come to our event to show their support for the charity all with their own personal experiences. Its people coming together that makes you realise how we are all affected and that nobody should face cancer alone”.
Other bands on the bill are Parasight, Just James, Harken, Lock And Key, Liberty Lies, Our Saving Day, Cut The Heroics, Adelphia, Unknown Era and others.
Stacey Smalley, Macmillan fundraising manager added: “Macmillan Fest is a fantastic event for people to enjoy national and local bands and help raise money to make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.”

It was the worst of games…
The polaric opposites of another frenzied Forest display are truly something to marvel at: Bearing down on goal, there can’t be a scarier sight than Oliver Burke’s rapturous pace and youthful effervescence.
The one-man stampede that makes Superman look like Eamonn Holmes. The only thing that comes close to parity with the Burke fear factor is the man chiselled from pure steel: Britt Assombalonga.
More than just a powerhouse who could bench-press a Transit van, his foresight and reading of a game matches the God-given instincts of the very best strikers in the world – Indeed, it was this deadly perception on Saturday that lead him to pounce on an under-hit back pass and score the opener.
Then again, there can’t be a more appealing sight than the absolute chaos that is reigning in the Forest defence.
I find it completely bizarre that they have collectively lost the ability to win headers, mark their respective men and effectively stand up to an attacker. Perhaps four games in isn’t quite a time for crisis, but there is certainly a huge issue that MUST be addressed.
I’m sure many publications and columnists dedicated to Forest will be saying the exact same thing today.
It’ll be a moan about the problem, a retrospective look back at what went wrong, and a suggestion to throw money at new players. Yet, with all due respect, I think that’s a very easy way to just merely paper over some cracks
OPINION: Oliver Burke has carried Forest
I personally believe we have been hit hard by Dorus De Vries leaving. There’s now a definite lack of communication, which is a sure-fire way to drain confidence. Not only was he a sharp shot-stopper and a commanding aerial presence, but he talked.
A LOT. For 90 minutes straight, for every game he played, De Vries didn’t just tell his defenders what to do. He barked his instructions at them. His voice resonating like a foghorn from one end of the pitch to the other.
Even sat in Upper Bridgford, you could hear him from his net at the Trent End.
Losing a man of such authority and responsibility was always going to have a dramatic impact on how Forest would attempt to shut the opposition out. Unfortunately for us, that impact has been instant… and it will become a lot more unforgiving once we stop scoring four goals every home game.
However, do I think we need a radical overhaul? Do I believe these players aren’t good enough? My answer is a resounding no. In my eyes, we have a fantastic assembly of defensive players who have the ability to play at a higher level. We all know that Michael Mancienne is a high-class centre-back – possibly one of the best we’ve seen at the City Ground in the last ten years. Thomas Lam is coming off the back of playing a leading role in PEC Zwolle’s best ever seasons in the Eredivisie, aged just 22. Matt Mills is a ferocious competitor, and when he channels that aggression properly (which is more often than not), Forest are much more solid as a defensive unit.
Then there’s Hildeberto Pereira. What can you not love about this guy? Endless energy.
Those twinkle toes that danced through the Wigan defence on the way to set Lam up for Saturday’s winner. Plus, no Forest players’ hair has had so much attention since Karl Darlow spent his match days preening himself…
However, that ‘raging bull’ of Pereira is more ‘bull in a china shop’ when it comes to defending. Don’t get me wrong, I never want to see him lose that fighting spirit, because it is exactly that what is enamouring him to the Forest fans in such a short space of time, but I don’t think he should be playing right-back. He needs to be unleashed further up the pitch; the shackles need to be cast away and thrown into the Trent, never to be seen again. You simply cannot do that when you have defensive responsibilities, and this position is one better filled by Eric Lichaj, a standout player from last season’s carnival of mediocre.
I believe we will get over our defensive jitters sooner rather than later and find that confidence we need to progress, but Phillipe Montanier – a man who I must admit is charming my socks off at the moment – needs to do two things:
Bring in a new goalkeeper - I have absolutely nothing against Henderson, despite a tough start for the lad. Yet he needs another senior goalkeeper there with him, to provide serious competition and to have someone in training to learn from and work with to develop certain aspects of his game.
. Choose a defensive line up, and keep it – Defences are built upon the pillars of understanding and familiarity. Montanier needs to ditch his rotation policy for this situation, pick out the men he sees as his best options, then stick with them for an extended period. He even has the option of sticking Cohen at left-back as a temporary solution. The skippers’ calming influence could help the others settle down quicker and certainly go some way towards restoring a bit of confidence and assurance at the back.
Obviously, this is football and no solution is ever the simple one. If anything, I am beginning to feel like a real buzz-killer, trying to find a way to stop these entertaining 4-3’s and last-minute winners.
Upon reflection, six points from four games is perhaps a fair return, considering the two tough away games we’ve had and Montanier’s brave, yet well-received gamble to play an exciting clutch of academy graduates from the very start. A win against Leeds on Saturday would really be a chance to lay the foundations for us to make the City Ground ‘Fortress Forest’ once more… | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/opinion-forest-are-not-defensively-incompetent-they-just-lack-leadership-1-8082159 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/07695463df78b79d748ba68ddf821726d7e50f4f6c286f7dbc11806d2811c49c.json |

Almost half of motorists don’t wash their own cars | null | null | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk | More than four in ten motorists in the East Midlands get someone else to wash their car, according to a new survey.
The research carried out by AA Cars, found that 45 per cent of motorists in the region get someone else to clean their vehicle.
The AA-Populus poll, which canvassed 19,619 AA members on how often they clean their cars, and the methods most frequently used, found that almost a quarter (22%) of British car owners polled now use a pop-up hand car wash.
The survey also revealed that fewer professionals across the country (54%) wash their own cars compared to semi-skilled and manual workers (63%).
The results also highlighted a difference between genders, with two thirds of men (61%) claiming to do a DIY bucket and sponge job, or home pressure washer, compared to 49% of women who prefer to pay to have their cars washed.
But the survey also showed that just one in ten respondents give their car a clean on the outside once a week, with 29 per cent admitting they only gave their vehicle a wash once every few months.
Paul Yates, managing director of AA Cars, said: “The British tradition of washing our cars at the weekend does seem to be dying though. Across the UK, 32% of car owners now outsource the job, with around a third of these opting for an automatic car wash.
“Obvious as it may sound, cleaning your car is a prerequisite if you’re looking to sell. Advertising a dirty vehicle is a sure-fire way to give potential buyers the wrong impression – that you’re willing to cut corners.”

The Badgers enjoyed a 3-2 success at home to Linby Colliery Welfare on Saturday, meaning they’ve won one, drawn one and lost one of their opening three games.
And Corthorn says he’s in no doubt where improvements need to be made.
He said: “I was more happy with the points on Saturday than with the performance.
“We weren’t good at all and have to do lots of work defensively, as a team and not just at the back.
“We’ve conceded seven goals in our first three games and that’s clearly too many. We’ve scored the same amount which is good but as a team we can do a lot better.”
All three of Eastwood’s games so far have been close-run encounters, with a 3-3 draw against Swanwick and a narrow 2-1 defeat against Sherwood Colliery preceding Saturday’s win.
Corthorn added: “This division will once again be one where anyone can beat anyone else if you’re not focused on the job in hand.
“It’s so important to get up to speed quickly, particularly when other sides have started so well, but I hope we’ll be into a good rhythm before too long.”
The CML South looks set once again to be a competitive division, with only one team being promoted and Hucknall Town and reigning champions Selston both having started strongly, among others.
Eastwood are next in action on Saturday when they travel to Blidworth Welfare. Their hosts have lost all three games so far but Corthorn is taking nothing for granted.
He said: “Selston are champions and look like they’ll be the ones to beat again given how they’ve started, and teams like Hucknall will always be up there challenging.
“Blidworth may have lost all three so far but you don’t know who they’ve had missing through injuries or holidays and so on and they could be a lot stronger on Saturday, so we’ll take nothing for granted.”
In terms of Eastwood CFC’s overall infrastructure, Corthorn says he’s been impressed by how the club has established itself as both a footballing and social venue.
He said: “The crowds have been really good, often into three figures, and the fact we’ve got a good bar from where people can watch the game helps too.
“The reserves have had a great start which is pleasing and it may well be the case that I use some of their players this weekend due to holidays and injuries, so we’ll see how ready they are to make the step up.
“We’ve some good young prospects too. Patrick Webb is only 17 but has scored three goals for us so far.
“We’re also gradually adapting to the new 3G surface. We’ve trained and played on it since June so we should probably be using it more to our advantage, but as with the performances, I’m hoping those kind of factors will soon iron out and we’ll have a much better idea of where we are come mid-September and push on from there.” | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/eastwood-boss-corthorn-aiming-to-stem-the-flow-1-8087485 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/4d4719bb3aea359c7118300b418439a13eca982c3c0589f15272b3261cf27a04.json |

That is the question on most supporters’ lips as the county requires a miracle to avoid relegation to Division Two of the Specsavers County Championship – in the same season as they reached the T20 Blast finals day and continued to strengthen the success of the Notts Outlaws one-day brand.
Even victory in their final three County Championships Division One fixtures, including at Durham this week, will not guarantee their survival and avoid a second ever relegation.
You could say that it is unthinkable for a Test venue to be probably hosting Second Division cricket next summer, but it happened a decade ago and Notts bounced back.
There were no thoughts of relegation in May when Notts topped the table. Yet they will start at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday (31st August) 35 points adrift and with just one win all season from their 13 four-day matches – that victory coming as long ago as the opening game of the season against Surrey at Trent Bridge.
It has been a sudden fall from grace for Chris Read’s men, who won the County Championship just six years ago. But the side, coached by Mick Newell since 2002, have perhaps fallen guilty of not heeding the warnings of one year ago.
The 2015 season saw Nottinghamshire struggle in the opening months in Division One, before a terrific second half of the season took them up to third place.
The recovery was built on a strong batting line-up with Riki Wessels, Brendan Taylor and Alex Hales all scoring more than 1,000 runs. Not to mention the contribution with the bat of England’s James Taylor.
So it is perhaps ironic that both Read and Newell have both admitted as this season has worn on that a lack of runs has cost them dear this time around.
Yes, Nottinghamshire have been unlucky. First they lost James Taylor to the much-publicised heart condition that ended his playing career at the start of the season.
The success of opener Hales becoming a regular England regular has also been his county’s loss when runs have, so often, been at a premium. In fact, Hales has played just twice and tops the county’s batting averages.
More bad luck has come with injuries. Captain Read missed several matches after breaking his hand in May – and his runs have been badly missed.
Stuart Broad’s injuries and England duties have also severely limited his four-day cricket for Nottinghamshire – but that has been the case for several years.
However, his runs lower down the order would undoubtedly have helped as defeats became a regular occurrence in the championship.
Occasionally the experienced Broad and Read have chipped in with vital runs down the order, but the likes of Michael Lumb, Wessels, Brendon Taylor and Samit Patel (one incredible hundred apart) havn’t delivered often enough this summer – particularly in the second innings of matches.
Steven Mullaney leads the way (apart from Hales) with an average of 38, has struck two centuries and scored 856 runs, so should be exempt from criticism of the batting overall.
But the fact he is 43rd in the rankings of the division’s best batsmen shows how disappointing Notts’ run-gathering has been.
In contrast, England’s young seamer, local product Jake Ball, is 19th in the bowling averages.
Notts’ bad luck with the loss of James Taylor was compounded in the bowling department when injury prevented Australian international Peter Siddle from returning to Trent Bridge to be their overseas player before the season started.
But most observers do not place the blame for the almost-certain relegation on the bowling attack – or any perceived distractions by success in the one-day game.
The championship season started relatively well with that three-wicket victory over Surrey. But perhaps the alarm bells were ringing even then, in the second innings.
Notts, batting first, totalled more than 400 with Mullaney hitting a century and Notts enforcing the follow-on. Australian Jackson Bird, who replaced Siddle, and Ball underlined the strength of the seam attack to set-up a 169-run target, but the second innings wobble that saw Notts fall from 72 without loss to win by just three wickets was a sign of the batting frailty to come.
A week later an eight-wicket defeat to Lancashire was notable for the paucity of runs as only captain Read made passed 50.
A draw against old rivals Yorkshire in front of the Sky TV cameras saw Read hit the 25th century of his career and Mullaney, Broad and Patel strike half-centuries.
Notts came within one wicket of victory on a thrilling final evening and topped the table. But it needed 200 runs from the last four wickets in Notts’ second innings to keep them in the game as the top order again failed.
Hales, Lumb and Patel all made 50s in a rain-hit draw with Middlesex, before the fragility of the batting-order reared its head in spectacular fashion during a 53-run home defeat to Warwickshire.
Chasing a modest 227 to win, Notts collapsed with nine batsmen – including Lumb who struck a first innings ton – failing to make double figures.
The heroics of Patel, who smashed a 68-ball century while wickets tumbled around him, prompted coach Newell to admit: “When one bloke gets 75 percent of the runs you have to be a bit disappointed. Some of our players will have to reflect that they have not really had the best of games. You can manage with only eight or nine playing well, but not when it is only six or seven.”
Those thoughts were to be repeated by supporters for most of the rest of the summer as batsmen threw their wickets away cheaply.
Just three batsmen passed 50 in a defeat at Hampshire, where Read suffered that crucial injury, before a week later former Zimbabwe captain Taylor twice hit a century in a run-fest draw, marred by rain, with Durham.
When four-day cricket resumed a month later Notts were well beaten by 228 runs at The Kia Oval with only Taylor passing 50 against Surrey. Runs were again at a premium in a draw with Warwickshire, before Notts dominated a draw with Lancashire.
At that point Newell drew a parallel with last season’s fightback in the second half of the season – but this time it never came.
While the T20 side reeled off victory after victory, the four-day side continued to find runs hard to come by. A 10-wicket loss to Somerset saw Mullaney and Jake Libby put on almost 200 for the first wicket at the start of the match. Somehow no other batsmen then got past 44.
Mullaney hit his second century of the season in a losing cause as Notts were humbled by 176 runs by Hampshire at Trent Bridge two weeks ago.
Then last week, in a must-win clash with Yorkshire, Notts somehow again turned a strong position into a defeat.
Having reduced Yorkshire to 51 for six, Notts then crumbled to 94 all out in reply to Yorkshire’s first innings 282. A second innings capitulation for 146 runs has surely spelled the end for Notts’ survival hopes.
They lost 20 wickets in less than 100 overs at Scarborough in front of a noisy crowd full of holidaymakers. This season has been anything but a holiday for those who follow Nottinghamshire cricket. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/opinion-where-has-it-all-gone-wrong-for-nottinghamshire-in-red-ball-cricket-1-8093889 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/087c091cda2ecb3a4f2976a97ac7baa29a1f7798749815d3c70f30b5f17d80a3.json |

His nephew Victor Hawtin has sent in some details of his life and connections with Sheffield.
A letter that Joseph Hawtin wrote to the Sheffield Telegraph about a 1914 battle he fought in
Joseph, who was born in September 1888, joined the Gordon Highlanders aged just 14 and served in India.
Both he and his younger brother Henry were educated at the Duke of York’s Royal Military School near Dover, Kent as orphans.
Their father, Squadron Quartermaster Sergeant J Hawtin of the Royal Army Pay Corps, died in 1896.
Victor writes: “Sometime during his time of reserve service, he was employed by Sheffield Corporation Tramways.
“Recalled to the colours in 1914, he saw action at Maedelstede Farm on December 14, a well-documented encounter early in the war.
“Joseph married a Sheffield lass in July 1915. She was Emily Pryor of Meersbrook.
“Unhappily, Joe disappeared on the Somme on July 18, 1916. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the great Thiepval memorial.
“My father, Henry, born in 1890 and two years younger than Joe, was also a regular soldier, in the Royal Engineers.
“He must have visited Joe in Sheffield and met his friends as he married Gladys Pynor of Queen’s Road in 1921, a close friend of Emily.
“After he retired in 1947, having served continuously for 42 years, my parents settled in Greenhill Main Road and I finished my schooling at King Edward’s – my 12th school!”
The Commonwealth War Grave Commission records that Joseph died aged 29 and gives his wife’s address as in Croydon, now Greater London.
Joseph wrote a letter to the Sheffield Telegraph about the Maedelstede Farm battle, reproduced here.
Victor wrote this poem about his uncle.
Uncle Joe
Full five feet deep, does Joseph sleep,
His bones with shrapnel mixed?
His trusty rifle at his side
With rusty bayonet fixed.
He’s still out there, lost on the Somme,
Slain by bullet, shell or bomb.
His name’s among thousands, no one denies,
On a mighty monument, arched to the skies –
But who can say where his body lies?
He is but one of ‘Our Glorious Dead’
‘Known unto God’ as Kipling said.
He is also the uncle I never met -
Lest I forget, lest I forget.

Daniel Thomas Radford, 28, of Pine Close, Mansfield Woodhouse, admitted the offences at Mansfield Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
The court heard he was stopped while driving a red Cherokee jeep on Maple Close, Forest Town, at 1.35pm on June 29.
Sarah Neale, mitigating, said: “It was a friend’s car that he was doing repairs on. The friend pleaded with him to return the car. It was his intention to drive two streets down the road.”
She said Radford works as a self-employed mechanic with a friend who drives him, and hoped to continue his business once he regains his licence.
District Judge Jonathan Taafe imposed an eight-week curfew, from 7pm to 6am, and disqualified him from driving for 12 months. He ordered Radford to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £85. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/disqualified-mechanic-caught-driving-repaired-car-in-mansfield-1-8086690 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/e872bf8e8944d5a1df987b50547aeb0007bc3cb0232f62168aea890d7f45d595.json |

The tech giant has confirmed plans for a major media event in San Francisco next Wednesday where it is expected to take the wraps off the newest version of its groundbreaking mobile.
A second-generation iWatch is also expected to be revealed at the event.
Rumours around the iPhone 7’s specifications have been flying around for months. It is expected to be slimmer and lighter than the current iPhone 6S and there is a suggestion it could be waterproof.
Leaked photos also suggest it could do away completely with a headphone jack, replacing the traditional tangle of white wires with wireless Bluetooth-connected headphones.
There is also speculation that the larger 7 Plus will come with a dual-camera system.
It is likely to get a full HD 1080p edge-to-edge screen and a larger battery to keep users online for longer and address criticisms about the longevity of the iPhone 6.
Speculation about processing power has ranged from a dual-core processor like the 6S up to an unlikely hex-core but RAM is expected to remain at 2GB. Whatever the hardware, it’s likely to come with iOS 10 and the variety of functionality upgrades that brings with it.
Pricing is expected to follow Apple’s trend of keeping the cost of new handsets stable so the iPhone 7 will cost around £539 but that’s likely to come with 32GB of storage, a jump over its predecessor’s 16GB. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/iphone-7-launch-date-confirmed-and-it-s-soon-1-8096479 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/59bb210a06c225d7248235b02b159f64a7e32767a4f376e90e7e4ce76d040124.json |

It coincides with the start of a new season of the hit BBC One show.
Strictly's most successful couple, now parents to one-year-old Valentina Rose, are returning to their family's City Limits Dancentre studio in Penistone Road, Sheffield.
They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.
Darren, aged 39, and his Moscow wife Lilia, 37, are the most successful competitor couple of their generation, winning four British amateur championships, three UK championships and representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships.
They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.
At his first attempt Darren, dancing with Jill Halfpenny from Eastenders, won the show and then went on to win the Champion of Champions dance off.
In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.
"Fans can take part in one of our Ballroom and Latin classes led by Darren and Lilia.
"It runs from 2pm until 4pm, and we have a timetable of taster sessions throughout the day. Plus visitors can chat to our teachers and find out more about our new beginners' classes starting in September.

For one so young, he seems to have grown, not only in stature but in terms of mentality too. No surprise then, that he’s joint top scorer with Britt Assombalonga.
On Saturday against Wigan, his goals were the difference between the two sides in the end. Before anyone begins to scream at me, let it be said that Matty Cash was absolutely superb and has just as much of a claim to this accolade. Cash was instrumental in providing the opportunity for Burke’s second goal.
I suppose my point is this; without Oliver Burke, Philippe Montanier would be in serious trouble by now. The Forest manager is chopping and changing his team on a game by game basis, and just getting away with it. Patterns are there for all to see, no league goals away from home but we’ve plundered eight at the City Ground.
Forest boss: ‘We must cut out costly defensive errors
The 4-3 victory over Wigan Athletic was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride for us supporters; although it seemed more like the ghost train at times! The resurgence of Britt Assombalonga continued after just six minutes, when he pounced on a mistake and calmly slotted home with ease. However; normal services were resumed just five minutes later when Jacobs equalised for the Latics, after some tepid tackles from forest. Things got a lot worse soon after, as Assombalonga limped off with a suspected hamstring injury.
Danny Fox also left the field through injury and was replaced by Eric Lichaj; Assombalonga’s replacement was Apostolos Vellios. In all honesty, from what I’ve seen of this guy, we’d be better with Stellios (from that budget airline.)
Having finished the half level pegging, the second forty five wasn’t good for the heart, I can tell you. Forest twice took the lead but they proceeded to throw it away, courtesy of some woeful defending. Throw in a penalty miss from Vellios and you literally had end to end action, by the minute. Chris Cohen proved his worth by putting in a real captain’s performance, manifested by his sixty yard through ball for Oliver Burke’s first goal of the game. The young Scot took it superbly on his chest before clipping the ball home on the volley; absolute class from start to finish!
Pereira was beaten easily in the build up to Will Grigg’s easy header, all be it, aided by hesitancy from Henderson in the Forest goal. But Wigan were soon behind again, thanks to the brilliance of Matty Cash, who had a near perfect game. His burst from midfield and measured pass was finished with aplomb, once again by Oliver Burke. The seeds of the NFFC academy are certainly blooming; and take it from me; there are a few more gems in the pipeline!
Wigan were gifted another equaliser, again gratefully received by Will Grigg. The Northern Irishman was far from on fire, possibly due to the damp defending on display by the reds; although he’ll never score two easier goals in a game again.
The late winner for Forest came in stoppage time, as Hildeberto Pereira skipped past three Wigan defenders to set up Thomas Lam for his second consecutive home goal. The industry of this goal will tell you everything that is wrong with our set up under Philippe Montanier.
Wrong, you say? The deciding strike was set up by and finished by two defenders; if you are doing your own job properly in the first place, then you shouldn’t have to throw yourself forward in the last minute. In fairness to Thomas Lam, he showed improvement and did take his goal very well though. (Still have my doubts)
Pereira is not a full back or a winger, so what is he? I said this from week one; don’t mess with a back four that kept us up last season. We created numerous chances and some fantastic attacking football in this game, because we have plenty of offensive midfielders and forwards. Leave it to them, and let the defenders do the basics.
We must also take into account that both 4-3 wins have come against promoted teams, and that without Oliver Burke we could be down near the bottom of the table. It’s no wonder that a growing list of Premier League clubs are looking at this lad. Winning hides a multitude of sins but without Assombalonga and especially Oliver Burke, those wins would not be possible. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/opinion-oliver-burke-has-carried-nottingham-forest-this-season-1-8081121 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/d7dae440a31dd3e71d08aabacebd0b984bb230df7477b864f9ba1fef810ee556.json |

Nottinghamshire County Council’s Meals at Home service is issuing advice on how to keep older people feeling healthy in the last few days of summer.
Deliver drivers are handing out the tips when giving their meals to customers to prevent dehydration, which is dangerous for older people and can lead to falls, urinary infections, low blood pressure and pressure sores.
Tips include -
• have regular drinks throughout the day and at meal times
• have a glass of water when taking medication
• eat food with a high water content such as ice lollies, salads and summer fruits
• avoid strenuous activities in the heat, particularly at the hottest times of the day
• close window and blinds or curtains during the day
• wear loose fitting clothing.
Councillor Muriel Weisz, chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council’s adult social care and health committee, said: “Our Meals at Home service is more than a meals delivery service.
“The team works hard to ensure that its older customers are safe and well, which includes raising the alarm if a customer does not answer the door.
“During hot weather we also make sure older customers are made aware of how to stay alert and well as dehydration can lead to serious health problems.”
Around 1,700 residents currently use the Nottinghamshire Meals at Home service.
It offers a wide range of meals to choose from, which can either be delivered to customers’ doorsteps hot or frozen.
The meals on offer are tasty and nutritious, varied and made from scratch locally using fresh ingredients and seasonal vegetables.
Nottinghamshire residents who are interested in the county council’s Meals at Home service should contact County Enterprise Foods on 01623 490015.

Varaporn Parkinson, 48. of Goldthorpe Avenue, Langold, admitted driving with excess alcohol when she appeared before magistrates in Mansfield on Wednesday.
The court heard her Nissan Note became embedded in the hedge on Eel Pool Road, Everton, on August 13. A breath test revealed she had 49 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath when the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
Rod Chapman, prosecuting, said: “She admitted drinking four halves of beer. Her loss of control resulted from being dazzled by the lights of a following car.
“She was trying to adjust her mirror when she crashed.”
Mary Dixon, mitigating, said the mother of one had recently lost her job, but refused to claim job seekers’ allowance on principle.
Parkinson was banned for 14 months and fined £120, and ordered to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £30. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/langold-drink-driver-dazzled-by-full-beam-lights-embedded-car-in-hedge-1-8098358 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/932cf08ff41cd0aa10e40acb83dbbfef73cf3175cdce92344ff2b32f88c09419.json |

This lecture is entitled Old and Curious Occupations. Over the centuries, we have seen many old and curious occupations disappear. Some have been soaked up by our factories, wothers have either gone abroad or been reduced to curious crafts only to be seen at country fairs or special events.
This illustrated talk takes a look at 60 old occupations in 60 minutes.
Some of them, you will be familiar with, while others you may never have heard of. Denis Hill will take a look at occupations from a wide period of time, from the mediaeval period right up to living memory.
Some of those occupations may have only been part time for a small number of people, while others employed tens of thousands of people. The names of some occupations cause quite a bit of amusement.
In many cases the audience will be given the opportunity to have a guess at what a person did before the answer is revealed, which causes quite a bit of amusement. You will certainly end with a lot of curious facts that you will be able to tease your family and friends with.
Denis Hill has lived and worked in and around Mansfield all his life and has spent most of his working career in heritage related jobs, including lecturing in adult education, mentoring others in research projects and supporting community groups with their local heritage projects.
He has obtained a Masters degree in Local and Regional History and has written many articles relating to the local heritage of Mansfield and area. He has been speaking to local groups since 1984.

Charlie Chappel, 18, of Carr Grove, Kirkby, indicated a guilty plea to being in charge of a dog that was dangerously out of control when he appeared in court on June 26.
Neil Fawcett, prosecuting, said the victim had been walking his dog Muffin in Portland Park on May 21 when the black coloured Staffie stopped and began snarling.
“It ran at speed towards him and dived towards Muffin. He swung Muffin up and held him above his head.
“The black dog jumped up and grabbed his left sleeve and was hanging on.”
The sleeve ripped and the dog fell to the ground, he said, then sank its teeth into his left calf muscle and began to pull.
“He describes the pain as immense. He fell to the ground and hit his head.”
At this point Chappel and his friend, who was walking another dog, ran over and tried to help.
Chappel shouted: “Don’t hit him, it will make him worse.”
Another passerby helped them to pull the dog away.
The court heard the victim was in hospital for four days with ‘multiple puncture marks which bled’, a series of scrapes and abrasions and bruising.
In a statement he said: “I feel so anxious being around other dogs. I feel so upset about what could have happened.”
Rebecca Williams, mitigating, said Chappel, a student with no previous convictions, had been walking the dog, called Denzel, for his brother.
“There had been no previous issues and he had no reason to believe that there was any cause for concern,” she said.
Mr Fawcett said the law called for the dog’s destruction, unless the court could be satisfied that it doesn’t pose a risk to public safety.
Animal behaviour expert Dr Kendal Shepherd told magistrates the dog was not an immediate risk to the public.
Chappel was given a 12 month community order with 80 hours of unpaid work. He was told to pay costs of £85 and £200 compensation.
Magistrates ruled that Denzel should wear a fixed lead no more than 6ft long and a collar with a muzzling action in a public place.
It was also placed on a contingent destruction order, which means if it attacks again, it will be destroyed. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/staffie-hospitalises-74-year-old-man-in-kirkby-1-8084677 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/241c9b5422846a8e46ab9aa2537bb74028b5054e8d6603b67c9f0ae9291deb69.json |

Premier League clubs have already broken all known spending records for this summer’s transfer window with 12 clubs setting new transfer records for single deals, benefiting from the new £5.1bn television deal.
Arsenal’s £52m double signing of Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi pushed top-flight summer transfer window spending close to the £1bn mark.
It has already surpassed the previous high of £870m set last year.
Here are the rumours floating around on deadline day . . . .
Monaco defender Fabinho could be a ‘left field’ arrival at Manchester United on deadline day, according to the M.E.N.’s Stuart Mathieson. “He’s one I wouldn’t rule out at all,” Stuart said at the M.E.N.’s live football event in Manchester on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old was interesting United a year ago but a move for the right-back failed to materialise. Despite Louis van Gaal’s departure, reports have suggested Fabinho could still move to Manchester.

If nothing else Forest are certainly entertaining at home.
Thomas Lam’s goal deep into stoppage time ensuring the Reds’ 100 per cent record on home soil remains intact.
Of course the alarming concept of the tale of the tape for the Reds at the City Ground is the goals conceded column.
Six in just two matches at home, with every single one of the goals against coming on the back of some comical defending.
For the record, I think Stephen Henderson in goal was hard done by on Saturday.
The first of Will Grigg’s goals could arguably have been prevented, although the more I see the video the stronger the wind appears to be behind the ball.
The other two however came courtesy of some extremely average defending.
So that is the negative out of the way. I won’t be a doom monger by pulling negatives out of a positive situation, especially when Nottingham Forest have a lot of things going for them at the moment.
My colleague praised the form of Oliver Burke so to be slightly different I am going to put young Matty Cash straight into the spotlight instead.
A quick glance towards the team-sheet on Saturday afternoon told me that Cash had been given the nod in the Forest midfield at the expense of Henri Lansbury and David Vaughan – big shoes to fill for the youngster.
Cash is just 19-years-old but his performance on Saturday was a joy to behold.
He showed maturity way beyond his tender years and displayed pinpoint passing, steel in the tackle and looked comfortable close to both penalty areas.
The Forest academy prospect went to Dagenham and Redbridge on loan last season and netted three goals in 12 games for the Sky Bet League Two side.
He was mightily unlucky not to open his Forest account on Saturday and but for a good stop from Adam Bogdan in the Wigan goal he would have done.
I would have no qualms whatsoever if it was Cash who lined-up in midfield again next Saturday, or for the rest of the campaign for that matter.
I can’t finish the piece without mentioning the man of the moment Oliver Burke can I? What a superb player the Melton Mowbray-born youngster is becoming.
When Britt Assombalonga hobbled off after just 15 minutes it need someone to step up and take on the goalscoring mantle and boy did Burke do that.
His first goal was an exquisite ball from Chris Cohen, an elegant touch on the chest and prod beyond Bogdan to restore Forest’s lead. It really was something more typical of Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, rather than the second tier of English football.
I have said for a while that the player is still learning his trade and that mistakes will be made – despite what some Forest fans think, all players are capable of making a mistake.
The Scotland international’s second strike showed that he is working hard on the training ground.
With such lightning pace Burke can sometimes be too quick for his own good in front of goal but the calmness and composure showed in the build up to the goal which put Forest 3-2 in front was a thing of beauty.
Keeping Burke around the City Ground beyond 1st September is a must. His development would be best suited playing every week in the Championship right now and boss Philippe Montanier must do everything he can to thwart any potential suitors.
Burke is destined for bigger things but on the whole Philippe Montanier’s willingness to utilise the younger players, at the expense of the more experienced members of the squad, is refreshing to say the least. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/blog-cash-was-king-for-entertaining-nottingham-forest-side-against-wigan-1-8081998 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/a10ea7d01a27f99c073798ad68731f743c77ac200f8e247a662d737cb43ff23c.json |

The online retailer today revealed that it is introducing its Amazon Dash Buttons to the UK.
The dinky little gadgets are a one-touch way to order a host of popular products without all that complicated rigmarole of actually logging onto your Amazon account and searching for them.
The Dash Buttons are literally that, small plastic boxes housing a button, which when pressed will connect via wi-fi to your Amazon account and using one-click buying order your selected products.
Each button is linked to a particular item and there are 40 brands available from launch so you can get everything from cat food to condoms and nappies to NERF ammunition delivered to your door.
Daniel Rausch, director of Amazon Dash, explained the thinking behind the devices: “We’ve all experienced the frustration of running out of something we need - Dash Button and Dash Replenishment Service are designed to make that moment a thing of the past.
“Dash Buttons offer the convenience of one-click shopping from anywhere in the home - they can be placed near those frequently used items you don’t want to run out of, and when you see supplies running low, the Dash Button makes it easier than ever to order more. Just press the button and your item is on its way.”
The £4.99 devices are only available to Amazon Prime customers, which means you’ll have to sign up to the £79-a-year service to enjoy the Dash Button’s convenience. The good news is that you’ll get £4.99 back off your first order of each product.
Alongside the buttons, Amazon also announced the UK rollout of its Dash Replenishment Service.
Like the button this links to your Amazon account but rather than having to do the ordering yourself it allows connected smart devices to order supplies themselves.
This means the likes of washing machines, dishwashers and printers from big-name brands including Bosch, Samsung, Whirlpool and Siemens can monitor your consumables usage and order more before you run out.
If they could just design a button that remotely loads the dishwasher too, they could be onto a winner. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/amazon-dash-lets-you-order-your-loo-roll-at-the-touch-of-a-button-1-8098147 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/161a66d03c13262da0fab049cc8258a4a8dee2b4b324d5abaab24646d0deabc2.json |

The Arsenal boss has confirmed, according to SFR Sport via the Daily Express, that he wants to sign Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi.
But the Daily Mirror say the Valencia man could set the Gunners back by a whopping £50m.
Elsewhere, the Daily Telegraph reports that Manchester City will allow goalkeeper Joe Hart to leave, having agreed to sign Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.
The deal for the 33-year-old is said to be worth up to £17m.
The Liverpool Echo say Everton want to land Hart, but could be held up by a chain of goalkeeper transfers, with Barca keen to secure Ajax stopper Jasper Cillessen.
Sky Sports report that the Toffees are in talks with Porto over 26-year-old Algerian forward Yacine Brahimi.
And in the Guardian, Jurgen Klopp says panic buying would make him an ‘idiot’ after Liverpool’s defeat at newly promoted Burnley.
According to Press Association reporter Sean Taylor, Barnsley have made an improved offer for Chesterfield winger Gboly Ariyibi.
The Spireites are said to have slapped a £3m asking price on the American-born youngster, but with his contract due to expire next summer it seems unlikely they’ll receive that much. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/football-rumours-wenger-wants-german-ace-hart-can-leave-city-gboly-to-barnsley-1-8081788 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/6729be6826c148f4c8753e52950bcf0e3cd2db41963f0ec9d777c037b172744e.json |

Brent, the needy, egotistical, socially awkward star of TV mockumentary The Office is iconic and reviving him is creator Ricky Gervais’s biggest risk to date.
David Brent is working in sales but he’s no longer in charge and, behind his thin facade, the comedown stings.
Instead, Brent’s based in an open-plan telesales department complete with another joker and an office bully who intimidates them both.
Brent’s courage to try something new, throwing himself into a self-funded music tour with hired band Foregone Conclusion is admirable.
Yet the virtue is tempered by Brent’s warped idea that fame will bring him happiness.
He’s still suffering the fallout from public reaction to The Office but this rich material remains largely untapped, lost instead behind a barrage of repetitive gags.
Brent’s songs, from Native American to Equality Street, are still so politically incorrect we want to curl up and pretend this isn’t happening, yet Gervais is kinder to Brent here than he’s ever been.
Since Derek, Gervais seems softer and the final act has heaps of heart and soul. Watching Brent strive for popularity in the face of co-workers and bandmates who openly dislike him is never easy but Gervais throws in a handful of characters who can see Brent’s gentler side.
David Brent: Life On The Road isn’t as funny, as smart or as brutal as The Office but Gervais doesn’t entirely miss this opportunity to give us an older not wiser, more desperate Brent and the closure is sublime.

Featuring some of the UK’s best tribute bands, the three-day event is now in its third year and is the culmination of a summer of Fake Festivals all around the UK that has included shows in Retford and Thoresby earlier this month.
The action gets underway on Friday, September 2 with Queen tribute Flash, The Fillers (The Killers), Antarctic Monkeys (Arctic Monkeys), Coldplace (Coldplay), The Total Stone Roses (Stone Roses), Green Date (Green Day) and AladdinSane (David Bowie).
The line-up for Saturday, September 3 is led by Prodigy tribute Jilted Generation, along with Oasish (Oasis), Four Fighters (Foo Fighters), Kazabian (Kasabian), Blondied (Blondie), The Really Hot Chili Peppers (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Stereotonics (Stereophonics).

Jez Lee, Fake Festivals owner, said: “We have had a phenomenal year on the tour, with nearly all the festival dates being sold out.
“The wet weather at the start of the season didn’t seem to deter festival-goers, with crowds reaching maximum capacity in the marquee.”
“As a ‘thank you’ to those who have supported us on this year’s tour, if you enter a valid ticket code from a previous Fake Festival, we will discount your ticket to The Big Fake Festival by a massive 50 per cent.
“This makes the three days even more affordable so everyone can join in the party.”
Camping is available for less than £100 for all three days.
For tickets go to www.fakefestivals.co.uk and click on The Big Fake Festival.
If you can’t find your ticket from previous years, don’t worry as Fake Festivals will be emailing everyone who purchased tickets through their website with their ticket codes as a reminder.

Starring Blue’s Antony Costa and Lola Saunders of X-Factor fame, Save the Last Dance for Me takes theatregoers on a nostalgic, feelgood journey of song and dance while following the trials and tribulations of two teenage sisters on a summer holiday.
Full of freedom and high spirits, Jennifer and Marie embark on a trip to the seaside for the first time without their parents, meeting a handsome young American who invites them to the local US Air Force base.
Things don’t run smoothly though as the doe-eyed siblings soon realise the complications of inter-racial relationships and that life and love can be much more complicated as it seems.
Costa, part of one of the biggest boy bands of the noughties, was the big draw as Milton, with Saunders, making her theatrical debut, playing the part of brassy Jennifer.
Ex-fishmonger Lola showed exactly why she’s made for a career in theatre as she looked completely at home on stage, wowing the audience with her powerful vocals and soulful tone.
Elizabeth Carter impressed as sweet teen Marie, while Wayne Robinson (Curtis) brought appreciative gasps with a chiselled physique which more than complemented his great singing voice.
The constantly-playing jukebox was a nice touch during scenes providing some background music, while the Lowestoft-themed props provided a colourful British seaside feel to the show.
Rock ‘n’ Roll classics included Elvis’s Viva Las Vegas, Can’t Get Used to Losing You, A Teenager in Love, Please Mr Postman and Save the Last Dance for Me, plus a superb acapella rendition of Sweets for my Sweet.
Save the Last Dance runs until Saturday, August 27. For tickets visit www.trch.co.uk.

Jake Kyle Godber, 27, of Station Street, admitted assault with intent to resist arrest when he appeared before magistrates in Mansfield on Wednesday.
Rod Chapman, prosecuting, said Godber spotted the officer dealing with a motorist on suspicion of driving without insurance on Outram Street, in Sutton, on August 13.
“On seeing the officer trying to arrest the man, Mr Godber tried to pull the officer’s hand an put it into his own handcuffs,” said Mr Chapman.
The court heard the man being arrested put his arm across the officer’s throat. A struggle ensued and both men were arrested.
Godber told police he had been out with his family and had consumed around five pints when he heard the disturbance.
He said the officers were ‘ragging the motorist around.’
“He said he was sorry and now knows that the arrest had nothing to do with him,” added Mr Chapman.
The court heard Godber had 15 convictions. He received a conditional discharge for theft in March, and a community order for criminal damage in June.
Mary Dixon, mitigating, said: “He thought he heard shouts of distress. He made completely the wrong decision and intervened by trying to grab the officer’s hand.
“He came off quite badly. He was CS gas-sprayed and his hands were cuffed behind his back and he was thrown to the floor.”
Cheryl Nisbet, of the probation service, said Godber could not remember much about the incident because he was drunk.
She said Godber was on a community order, but had not been carrying out unpaid work because of the injury sustained on August 13.
She said he would benefit from a thinking skills course.
Mary Dixon said: “There are issues here about jumping in without thinking.”
He had kept out of trouble for four years, she said, but there had been a ‘flurry of offences’ over the last six months.
The community order and the conditional discharge were revoked and he was given 26 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months.
Magistrates warned him that if he is convicted of another offence in this time he can expect to go to prison.
He was ordered to pay compensation of £60 and court costs of £85. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/boozer-tried-to-handcuff-cop-during-arrest-in-sutton-1-8098401 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/afd3cc74a3eed9efb681a8e954117cefa1ec169f64a605c022222d19ab7c8d2b.json |

Celebrating its 27th anniversary in the West End, The Woman In Black was first performed in Scarborough in 1987 to rave reviews.
The production opened in the West End in 1989.
Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black.
He engages a young actor to help him tell his story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.
The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep.

He made an unbeaten 75 as the White Rose county stretched their lead to 388 by the close at North Marine Road.
Having bowled out the visitors for 94 to secure a first innings lead of 188, Yorkshire’s stand-in captain Ballance made the slightly surprising decision not to enforce the follow-on.
That allowed openers Alex Lees and Adam Lyth to play freely, with the former hitting Steven Mullaney for four successive fours early in the afternoon session.
The pair shared in a 72-run stand for the first wicket before Lees pushed forward to a Brett Hutton delivery and was adjudged LBW for 30.
Lyth followed shortly after having made 41, with an attempted flick into the leg-side landing back in the hands of bowler Luke Wood via a leading edge.
Those wickets saw the tempo of the Yorkshire innings drop somewhat, with Ballance and Jake Lehmann playing in a circumspect fashion as they took the lead past 300.
It was not until after tea that Lehmann looked to cut loose, but his innings ended on 35 as he miscued an attempted slog over mid-on off the bowling of Samit Patel which allowed Wood to take a steepling catch.
Jack Leaning also fell before close after being stumped off the bowling of Patel, leaving Ballance – who hit 12 fours in his 139-ball innings – and Tim Bresnan to see the hosts through to close, though play was abandoned seven overs early due to bad light.
Nottinghamshire had resumed on 38-2, but lost Michael Lumb without scoring as Ryan Sidebottom had him caught behind with a fine out-swinging delivery.
The former England seamer was at his devastating best, and dismissed both Steven Mullaney and Patel as he took three wickets in the space of 12 balls in the day’s opening half an hour.
Jack Brooks then followed his new ball partner’s lead by forcing Chris Read into a mistimed pull with just his fourth ball, allowing Lees to take a simple catch at cover, before having Brett Hutton caught at second slip by Lyth.
The procession continued as Brendan Taylor – who had been dropped when on nought – was bowled by Steven Patterson via an inside edge before Bresnan wrapped up the innings with the wickets of Wood and Luke Fletcher.
Nottinghamshire first-team coach, Wayne Noon, said: “We knew yesterday at 51 for six that we’d let them off the hook, but we didn’t realise we were going to be 94 all out.
“It’s not a 280 pitch and it’s definitely not a 90 pitch, so you’d say somewhere in the middle is par. It’s been a disappointing effort second half with the ball and definitely first half with the bat.
“We can’t feel sorry for ourselves – no one out there is going to feel sorry for us. It’s two weeks running that we’ve lost a wicket with the last ball or in the last over of a day’s play, and when you’re at the bottom don’t go your way.
“We are down in there but hopefully with a bit of weather tomorrow and a rearguard action with the bat we can fight for these five points then see where the next three games take us.
“We need a lot of weather and we need to hold our hands up. The top seven haven’t done it in recent times on flat wickets at Trent Bridge and now we’re going to have to do it on a wicket that’s seaming, bouncing and starting to spin a little bit as well.” | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/notts-with-it-all-to-do-as-imposing-fourth-innings-target-looms-1-8087230 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/19444b1a34d9f296260442e08a199caf9ae702d7e398dcad7d813407488fe780.json |

Daniel Martin Chambers, 25, of Penhale Drive, admitted using threatening behaviour when he appeared before magistrates in Mansfield on Wednesday.
The bench watched CCTV of Mansfield town centre on the night of August 7, which showed Chambers out with six friends as they were approached by two men.
A fight broke out and Chambers threw a punch and kicked one of the men, but then tried to stop his friends from continuing their attack.
David Myles, prosecuting, said: “His involvement was the least of it. But unfortunately for him, he was the only one who was caught.”
Yvonne Wragg, mitigating, said: “Mr Chambers jumps in and pushes his friends away. His group were not the aggressors. They didn’t begin the fight.
“Two men attacked Mr Chambers and his friends. It is very much of out of character for him to have done this. He had only had two pints of lager that night.”
Chambers also admitted possessing a small amount of cocaine for personal use.
The court heard he was convicted for carrying an offensive weapon in 2012.
Greta Percival, of the probation service, said: “He told me he acted on impulse on seeing his friends being attacked.
“It is clear he was aware that his behaviour was unacceptable.
“He said he had used cocaine three times in the last three years.”
Magistrates gave him a 12 month community order, with 200 hours of unpaid work.
He was ordered to pay court costs of £85 and an £85 victim surcharge. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/hucknall-man-s-gang-fight-in-mansfield-1-8086678 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/05a7eed8a73731c980caff62673a25f575390a6013f3dba70aae37c37963bf83.json |

The team of volunteers are setting up equipment borrowed from the police to measure the speed of vehicles travelling along Moor Road at peak times.
The issue has been highlighted by a significant increase in the volume of traffic diverted through Bestwood by part of Station Road, Hucknall, for repairs to the railway bridge.
Group member Stephen Glover said: “There is particular concern about noise and vibration from heavy goods vehicles disturbing residents as early as 5.30am. Some drivers are travelling too fast over the traffic-calming humps on Moor Road.”
Mr Glover, who has coordinated speed gun training for volunteers, said their patrol was making a real difference.
He added: “Just in the time we’ve been here this morning we’ve seen a lot of vehicles doing over 35 miles an hour who see us with the hi-vis jackets on and slow right down.
“We’re here three days a week so hopefully people see us and then slow down in future because they expect us to be here.
“It’s quieter now during the school holidays but that can mean speeds are higher because it’s not congested, and the lorries going over the road humps at speed make a real racket.”
Notts County Council have put up signs urging drivers to reduce their speed to 20mph on the road, which has previously been a major accident black spot.
Although excessive speeds recorded by the equipment are passed on to the police, the group stress that their main aim is to get the message across to drivers in a positive way about the importance of road safety.
Sherwood Conservative MP Mark Spencer and Ashfield Tory councillor Ben Bradley, as well as Cllr John Wilmott, of Notts County Council and Hucknall First Community Forum, have visited Bestwood and praised the group’s initiative.
Earlier this year Mr Spencer secured funding to train and pay a new lollipop lady on Moor Road for 6-8 weeks until Station Road is complete.

Marshall Milton Keynes AC’s Mark Ryall and wife Linsey combined house-hunting with medal-winning in this morning’s second annual Reach Mansfield 10k race.
And there was a big boost for the race’s future with the news that Mansfield District Council looks set to back the embryonic event for the next five years.
Mansfield 10K
As local focus on athletics left television coverage of the Rio Olympics for the sunny streets of Mansfield, Ryall, 35, won the race in 34:12, three seconds ahead of Sutton Harriers’ Richard Robinson, going one better than last year’s third, with Mansfield Harriers’ James Mee third in 34:37.
Meanwhile, Ryall’s wife Linsey took the women’s Veterans 35 years title for a family double as they combined the morning’s race with looking for a house in the area.
The overall women’s winner was Jane Potter, of Charnwood Harriers, in 35:49 in a race which raises funds for local charity Reach Learning Disability.

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.
The huge Reading turn out for Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks
Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.

"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

Sarah Brown travelled from Manchester to visit the grave with her mum Christine – but said they were both left stood at the Kimberley Cemetery gates in tears, and described the ordeal as “deeply distressing”.
Ms Brown checked Broxtowe Borough Council’s website before leaving, which said the cemetery closed at 8pm.
But when they got there at 6pm the gates had already been locked by Kimberley Town Council – the authority responsible for the maintenance of the cemetery.
She said: “My grandmother was very special to me and to be denied access to her grave on her birthday was not acceptable.
“We just wanted to sit on a bench by her grave and be with her for her birthday.
“She had dementia and only died in May this year so it’s only just started to sink in that she’s gone,” she added.
Ms Brown said her grandmother had lived in Kimberley all her life after she married. She had been buried next her husband, who was a Second World War hero.
The 32-year-old said she called the town council office sobbing, but with it being Bank Holiday Monday there was nobody there.
She then tried to access phone numbers of councillors on the town council website, but said there were none there – something else she found unacceptable.
“Luckily my mother being a councillor was able to get me the phone number of someone who was able to let us into the cemetery.
“But it’s not really the point. It’s not good enough. Grieving relatives should not have to go to such lengths to visit their relatives to commemorate special occasions.
“It was very upsetting. I had come down specifically to see my mum on her dead mother’s birthday and this was one of the things we wanted to do,” she added.
Ms Brown is now demanding answers from the council and is insisting the website is updated.
Chairman of Kimberley Town Council Roy plumb said: “They only tried the gate in Knowle Hill and in fact the gate in Broomhill Road was open.
“They should have gone around the corner – they have got full knowledge of the layout of the cemetery.
“Unfortunately on this particular occasion there was an oversight by somebody with regard to the Knowle Hill gate.
“It is usually the council clerk who deals with it and she was on holiday. I’m not sure whether the responsibility was not passed on or whether there was a misunderstanding. We are sorry she found this upsetting. Anybody would.
“With regards to the contact numbers, it was the previous council, of which her mother was a member, who decided to remove them.” | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/we-were-stood-at-the-gates-in-tears-1-8098369 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/45807c062f36b138e20a0485e9f2c36fda6a7d05529a28dbc83f018c39bbeaaa.json |

Andrei Tarkovsky’s final film, from 1986, screens from Sunday, August 28 – Tuesday, August 30. The Sacrifice (12A) explores a deeply personal statement on humanity’s self-destruction and the end of the world.
Starting on the precipice of World War III, the story is about Alexander, a journalist and former actor and philosopher who, on the outbreak of war, turns to God and offers himself up as a sacrifice to change the world and stop the war. The Sacrifice is a heart-breaking but ultimately reaffirming film.

Leaders Cuckney were frustrated by last season’s champions, Kimberley, before the weather brought their game to a halt. And third-placed West Indian Cavaliers had their contest at Mansfield Hosiery Mills cancelled without a ball bowled.
But Plumtree dodged the rain clouds to move within 11 points of the top after winning by seven wickets at Radcliffe-on-Trent, who were rolled out for just 148, despite an opening stand of 77 between Michael Bratt and Dan Mason.
Outstanding bowling by Bobby Gamble (5-22 in 13 overs) and Sam Wood (4-49 in 15 overs) saw ten wickets fall for just 71 runs, leaving Plumtree with the relatively straiughtforward task of knocking off the runs. Openers Saad Ashraf (67, nine fours) and Hassan Azad (36) ensured there were no alarms, sharing a stand of 98.
Cuckney’s match at home to Kimberley was robbed of 40 overs by the rain. But their bowlers were also left exasperated by a visiting side at last rediscovering some of last season’s form as they posted a fine total of 251-5 in the hands of Sam Johnson (87), who crashed six sixes, and Tom Rowe (73, nine fours), who put on 107 for the third wicket. The tabletoppers’ reply was going well on 43-1 from 9.2 overs when the weather played its last, and most decisive, card.
There are now just three matches to play in the pursuit of the champions’ crown. Cuckney travel to Radcliffe this Saturday before the crunch clash at home to Plumtree the following week. Cavaliers, who trail second spot by 17 points, face Caythorpe, Ordsall Bridon and Notts CCC Academy.
Two more games last Saturday had to be abandoned, including the key battle between relegation-threatened duo Hucknall and Clifton Village. The visitors totalled 274-7 thanks to fine knocks by Adam Clarke (64no, David Farnsworth (57) and Richard Harris (47), and Hucknall had replied with 229-5 with five overs left when the heavens opened. Dale Campbell struck 60 and Josh Downie 57.
The outcome means only eight points separate the two teams, with Ordsall Bridon and Welbeck squeezed between them. Ordsall were also blighted by the rain after making 217 at home to Notts CCC Academy, with Paul Van Den Heuvel hitting 72. The visitors were 78-1 when stumps were drawn.
Welbeck did complete their match, but probably wished they hadn’t after sliding to a nine-wicket loss at Caythorpe, who restricted them to 155-9 before sailing home in 20 overs thanks to an undefeated 101 in just 66 balls from Steve Allcoat.
As at the top, there are three matches remaining in the relegation scrap, but two of Hucknall’s are against Kimberley and Cuckney. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/notts-premier-league-round-up-plumtree-edge-closer-as-cuckney-s-title-bid-is-hit-by-rain-1-8082038 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/d19054bc976c2bf4161c854e0f4071f619c8550edc7479d555def5c78e4f36ff.json |

But when the final whistle blew, the consensus of opinion was that York’s Ebor Festival had been an end-to-end thriller.
Sorry about the footballing metaphors. It seems that not even the Olympics can camouflage the start of a new season. But you know what I mean. Certainly you will if you spent a day or four on the Knavesmire last week, lapping up some of the best entertainment Team GB Racing can deliver.
The trendy riposte to those who object to turning the sport into an artificial singing and dancing circus for the alcohol-fuelled masses is that racing should be fun. Well, if York’s meeting wasn’t fun, packing in as it did top-class, competitive racing, on a majestic racecourse, among sensibly-sized crowds that created a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, then I don’t what is.
It definitely seemed to float the boats of Irish owners Aidan ‘Red’ Shiels and friends, judging by their wild celebrations after HEARTBREAK CITY’S runaway romp in the Ebor itself. Celebrations that even surpassed those the previous day of another owner, Clive Washbourn, who let rip with abandon when his juvenile colt, CONTRAPPOSTO, flew home to snatch second in the big £60,000 Convivial Maiden as a 50/1 shot.
Fun for those whose passion for racing runs as deep as Shiels’s and Washbourn’s equates to revelling in the kind of performances and storylines that emerged from York’s showpiece festival. Here’s my potted day-by-day review, complete with a handful of horses to follow:
DAY ONE (WEDNESDAY)
When the Ebor Festival was washed out by heavy rain in 2008, Juddmonte International Day became the first of four to be abandoned. This time round, the day belonged to POSTPONED, authoritative winner of the near £1 million Group One.
Roger Varian’s 5yo dismissed doubts not only about the wellbeing and form of the yard’s string, but also, and more significantly, the horse’s dubious record over 10f. One of the rare astute uses of a pacemaker, coupled with an eminently sensible ride by the brilliant Andrea Atzeni, put the fears to bed as Postponed made full use of his stamina to stride clear from the 3f pole.
A tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, for which he would surely have gone close last season but for owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s fall-out with previous trainer Luca Cumani, is the logical next step. However, the outcome was also a welcome shot in the arm for the increasingly maligned King George, with the 2015 winner of Ascot’s great race beating into second this year’s winner, HIGHLAND REEL.
The opening day also featured, albeit in a sub-standard Great Voltigeur Stakes, a similarly convincing performance by IDAHO, particularly as he was only just ready after a break and was given a lot to do in rear. As we identified after the Derby, the son of Galileo is a class act, although I wouldn’t be certain that he’ll appreciate the extra 2f of the St Leger, for which he is now a short favourite. His style of running, his turn of speed and his pedigree all point to his optimum trip being 12f or even 10f.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Mutakkayef, Oceane, La Casa Tarifa.
DAY TWO (THURSDAY)
A swathe of well-fanced horses obliged during the week. But a notable exception was the 2yo Frankel filly, FAIR EVA, turned over at 4/11 in the 6f Lowther Stakes. Excuses abounded, but not from seasoned trainer Roger Charlton, who kept a cool head and wisely suggested that she was simply beaten by a speedier offspring of the great horse and is more of a miler than a sprinter. In fact, the winner, QUEEN KINDLY, looked special, and the runner-up, ROLY POLY, is improving rapidly too.
Improvement is also the key word belonging to SEVENTH HEAVEN, who powered to victory in the Yorkshire Oaks, swamping two top-notch rivals, FOUND and QUEEN’S TRUST, who were travelling much more sweetly. Aidan O’Brien’s filly has stepped up dramatically for hold-up tactics and galloping tracks.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Mustashry, Abingdon, Jadaayil.
DAY THREE (FRIDAY)
As the rain clouds hovered, punters were faced with their worst guessing-game nightmare, particularly for a fiendishly competitive renewal of the Coolmore Nunthorpe. In the end, enough rain soaked one of the fastest 5f tracks in the country to allow MECCA’S ANGEL to treat us to a textbook display of polished sprinting. When sold to the breeding sheds at the end of the season, the 5yo grey will surely fetch a fee of seven figures.
Not for the first or last time during the meeting, the runner-up ran a blinder as well, especially as LIMATO was tackling the minimum trip for the first time.
Half an hour earlier, what a delight it was too to see NEMORALIA back in the winner’s enclosure. If ever there was a Group One heroine in waiting, Jeremy Noseda’s filly is it.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Rivet, Via Serendipity, Another Touch.
DAY FOUR (SATURDAY)
Contrary to public myth, most of Irish handler Tony Martin’s UK plots and raids do NOT succeed. But this one did, with knobs on, as 5lb claimer Adam McNamara was showered with glowing praise for steering home HEARTBREAK CITY in the Ebor.
The 6yo dual-purpose gelding had to share the limelight, however, with Gimcrack winner BLUE POINT, who laughed at criticism of his defeat at Goodwood. Yes, he’d been a beaten odds-on shot on the Downs, but only in a massive step-up in class against the best UK-trained juvenile seen so far this season, MEHMAS.
THREE TO FOLLOW: a real shame that Sandown’s Solario day clashed with York. Hope that, as a result, you didn’t miss the eyecatching runs of Persuasive, South Seas and Cartmell Cleave.
Skelton’s gold medal caps the most colourful of life-stories
All kinds of sports received a boost via Team GB’s record-breaking heroics at the Rio Olympics. And thankfully, racing didn’t miss out, courtesy of Nick Skelton, father of Jumps trainer Dan and jockey Harry, who strode to a glorious gold medal. As a youngster in the mid-1970s and early 1980s, I remember watching Skelton as a rookie rider, under the wing of Ted Edgar, when showjumping was shown on primetime TV by the BBC. His tear-jerking achievement in Brazil, made all the more remarkable by his well-documented broken neck and hip replacement, caps the most colourful of life-stories both on and off horseback. I loved how he deflected credit to his admirable mount, the 13-year-old Big Star. But I will love even more the updated version of his superb autobiography, ‘Only Falls And Horses’.

Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired and Liberty Ship, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
The Sherlocks at Leeds Festival
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

This video footage of a giant house spider was sent to us by one of our readers.
The creepy-crawly’s glaring eyes alerted our reader to its presence on a curtain in her living room.
This giant house spider was safely released back into the open.
The eight-legged friend fell from the curtain and scuttled across the floor after she turned the light on.
Giant house spiders, which can grow up to 12cm in length, tend to head indoors to find a place to mate during the hot summer weather.
They are more commonly found in gardens and sheds.
They are not harmful to humans, although they can give you a ‘nip’.
This spider could only just squeeze inside a pint glass before being safely released outside.

Research funded by campaigns organisation 38 Degrees released on Friday revealed that Nottinghamshire needs to find £500 million in saving over the next five years, and despite claims that the service foresees resizing of 'hospital footprints', so far those in charge of transforming the NHS into a sustainable service have not admitting any cuts to acute services at our hospitals.
The report is part of national analysis describing a crippling funding crisis in the NHS which is forcing more than half of healthcare areas to cut acute services - but campaigners are saying health bosses aren't being transparent enough about their plants to save billions over the next five years.
Some 23 out of 44 healthcare 'footprints', including Nottingham and Nottinghamshire has revealed that 'configuration' changes are needed under their Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs).
The plans are being produced across the health service under partnerships between CCGs, trusts and local authorities, to steer local services.
In Nottinghamshire, our health commissioners expect a 'do-nothing' deficit of half a billion - needing a total of £2.3 billion a year to maintain services as they are now.
And according to research of published NHS documents by Incisive Healthcare, draft STP plans state trusts may need "acute service consolidation" and "resizing of the acute hospital footprint".
Analysis by Incisive Healthcare said the plan "doesn't describe what this would mean for patients" but historically "consolidation" and "resizing" mean cuts to hospital services.
A Nottinghshire STP document seen by the Chad claims our health service's key issues concern finance, and states that current services are 'unsustainable'' and 'unaffordable.
The document, from an STP presentation continued: "We don’t currently have fully developed solutions for this... We don’t allocate or use public funds to best effect."
A number of unpublished STPs were uncovered by an FOI request by 38 Degrees, and the draft plans spell out huge cuts across the health service to meet funding shortages, but in many cases individual plans for local areas are still vague.
Laura Townshend, Director at 38 Degrees who used crowdfunding to drive the investigation, said: “This is new evidence that plans are being made to close local NHS services. We all rely on these services, yet we are being kept in the dark.
"These proposed cuts aren’t the fault of local NHS leaders. The health service is struggling to cope with growing black holes in NHS funding. These new revelations will be a test of Theresa May’s commitment to a fully-funded National Health Service.
"The NHS belongs to all of us - so local people in Nottinghamshire should get a say in any changes to their local services. That’s why hundreds of thousands of us have joined the 38 Degrees campaign calling for Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to commit to full public disclosure of plans for each and every one of the 44 areas across England.”
No confirmed plans for downsizing
For the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire 'footprint', a gap of £500 million must be closed, and initial comments from our health services have denied plans for consolidation and downsizing, suggesting that research doesn't properly represent the local picture.
But compared to other areas, cuts may be unavoidable to meet the £500m target.
According to Incisive Healthcare's research, Hertfordshire & Essex's STP is looking to scrap pre-existing plans for a new hospital to meet its target savings of £234m - less than half of Nottinghamshire's.
Dorset's plan said to meet £158 million of saving 'hospital beds are at risk', and Leicestershire & Rutland's plans to bring down its five-year 'black hole' of £700m is to end acute services from one of three hospitals.
Other areas are considering selling surplus land and estates, cutting staff and closing or downgrading A&E departments.
Nottinghamshire County Council's deputy chief executive and director of Health and adult social care, David Pearson is one of only four out of 44 STP leaders in the country to be appointed from a local authority, while most of the country's transformation plans are being lead by health chiefs.
He told BBC Radio 4: "The transformation of services is rarely just one big dramatic closure."
"Sometimes, we have particular conditions or particular treatments that are best in a centre of excellence.
"But this is fundamentally about making sure we are doing the best things across Nottinghamshire and that, as far as possible, services are locally delivered to an agreed understanding of what best practice is."
We have tried to contact Mr Pearson for an interview but he is so far unavailable.
An NHS England spokesman said: "This is a unique exercise in collaboration. It is hardly a secret that the NHS is looking to make major inefficiencies and the best way of doing so is for local doctors, hospitals and councils to work together to decide the way forward in consultation with local communities.
"Proposals are at a draft stage but we expect all local leaders to be talking to the public and stakeholders regularly - it is vital that people are able to shape the future of their local services.
"No changes to the services people currently receive will be made without local engagement and, where required, consultation."

Draft plan outlines areas of concern:
According to a Nottinghamhire STP draft presentation, local funding issues are based on a shortfall, with annual increases in NHS revenue rising in line with inflation (2-4 per cent), but not covering the continuous increase in demand (an additional 2-5.5 per cent).
Nottinghamshire'a main areas for bad performance:
• A&E waiting times,
• Ambulance Red 1 response times
Key issues faced by the area:
• Sustainability and affordability of services
• Workforce – particularly in primary care and some specialties
• Fragmentation / duplication / gaps in services
• Nottingham University Hospitals and Sherwood Forest Hospitals merger
• National outlier for high spending but poor outcomes in mental health, Genitourinary and Musculoskeletal departments.
Areas where funding can be better used:
• Handoffs and delays within / between organisations
• Thresholds for treatment in different settings (primary, residential, acute and community care)
• Mental and physical health parity of esteem (spend doesn’t match overall population need)

Nuthall Parish Councillor Linda Carter said when she joined the council she found there was nothing in the area for teenagers.
She was determined to put this right and speak to the youngsters in the town to see how they felt.
“They felt nobody bothered with them,” Coun Carter said. “I got the impression they felt there was nothing for them. That was their attitude.
“We tend to concentrate on the younger children and the teens tend to be left out.”
So the councillor decided to organise the “Teenz-only”event and went around town giving leaflets out to promote the event.
It will take place this Sunday, September 4 at the Basil Recreation Ground.
Hosted between 1pm and 5pm there will be sumo suit wrestling, soft acrchery, table tennis, pool, crazy golf and body zorbing.
There will be a 125ft long inflatable obstacle course, an army-style assault course, penalty shootout and a “surf board challenge”.
Coun Carter used to be a midday supervisor at The Kimberley Shcool, and so found it easy to talk to teenagers.
“I always talked to kids and always got on with them.
“I find if you treat them right, they treat you right.
“That age group tends to get a lot of bad press. But I think they’re bored. There’s nothing for them to get involved in.
“When I became a councillor I saw the trouble they were getting into and I thought I could try and get something organised for them.
“They all seemed so keen when I suggested it. They wished me luck in organising it.”
Nuthall Parish Council has hosted a family fun day every year for the last seven years.
It is open to all ages, but is geared up more towards younger children, and the older kids were feeling more and more unwelcome.
The event features activities such as bouncy castles, sand pits, paddling pools and circus skills.
Parish council clerk Sue Stack said: “They were coming along and they were being pushed out because they were being told they were too rough for the little ones on the bouncy castles and so on.
“They felt like they were getting in the way.
“We had a couple of complaints at the last fun day because some of teens were getting fed up of being kicked off the activities.
“It became apparent we needed something and Linda has been instrumental in getting it all off the ground.
“She’s been amazing.”
Ms Stack said the new event was a “big step” and councillors had gone to a lot of effort to organise it.
“We’ve had eight councillors and six members of dstaff do special safe guarding training becasue the youngsters will be coming unattended and we’ll be dealing with under 18s.”
Ms Stack said if the event is a success it will become a regular feature in the calendar for Nuthall. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/new-event-will-be-teenz-only-affair-1-8098296 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/a47a3aaf961f0ebd1c51929d2d298d7ae1c8d0d677b352566df50bab1a86c03f.json |

The Sinfonia Viva Derby Summer Fete will include live music, games, food and stalls. A jazz trio from the orchestra will entertain visitors and will also be joined by a wide range of local bands.
The event is free to attend in the Market Place between 12 noon and 4pm and is also supported by the Cathedral Quarter, St Peters Quarter and Derby LIVE.
Funds raised will support Sinfonia Viva’s community work across Derbyshire, which is receiving national awards and recognition – including the Best Event award at last year’s Family Arts Festival.
Amy Williams, finance graduate at Rolls-Royce, who is project leading the event organisation, explained: “The aim of the event is to celebrate the wonderful community of Derby.
“We will be creating a celebratory atmosphere, that represents a very modern take on the village fete which is the most classic of British past times.
“Derby has a huge array of communities and artistic interests and we want this to be represented in the food and entertainment on offer throughout the day.”
Debbie Duro, Rolls-Royce Community Investment Manager, said: “As part of the extensive graduate and apprentice training scheme, all trainees are tasked with leading and delivering projects in the community during their first year.
“This enables our trainees to develop important skills such as team work and project management and gives us the opportunity to make a valuable contribution in the local community.”
Sinfonia Viva chief executive, Peter Helps, concluded: “We have always been committed to providing high quality, community-focused entertainment.
“This event has been a great opportunity to work with a team of Rolls-Royce trainees to organise an event offering fantastic family entertainment and a high profile stage for local artists and musicians to showcase their talents.
“We are delighted that our community work will be supported by the event. This includes our award-winning education projects in the city and county that transform young participants’ lives and gives them the chance to learn and perform on stage alongside professional musicians.”

Mr Ledger, who was a popular player who was remembered for his pace and superb passing ability, died on August 19 aged 92 in Nottingham.
The Stapleford-born right winger made his Ilkeston debut against Warsop Working Mens’ Club in August 1948 and went on to play more than 300 times for the club.
He won a number of honours for Ilkeston, including the Central Alliance League four years in row and the Derbyshire Senior Cup.
Ledger joined Derby County during the War but, unable to break into the first team, he tried his luck with Notts County where he scored four goals in 16 Wartime appearances.
He then crossed over the Trent and played 10 times for neighbours Forest, adding a further goal to his collection.
After the War he remained with The Reds until the summer of 1949 despite not making the first team again.
During his time as a Forest player he made a single appearance for Ilkeston at the start of the 1948/49 season although it was a year later before he joined Town on a permanent basis.
Ken is Ilkeston’s fifth all-time top appearance maker and only five Town players have scored a greater number of goals. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/tributes-paid-to-former-llkeston-derby-county-and-nottingham-forest-player-ken-ledger-1-8090041 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/194a404006100cf53771c56bc06ff3a50f07651dc012817e1b4918c570836beb.json |

As all six matches were abandoned at about the halfway stage, the top two sides, Cuckney and Plumtree, each collected nine points. So it’s everything to play for when they collide head-on in the penultimate round of fixtures this coming weekend.
Cuckney, who are seeking to seal their third NPL title in five season, have home advantage and also hold an 11-point advantage over their rivals. Both sides are at home in their final matches the following Saturday when they entertain relegation-threatened rivals -- Cuckney against Hucknall and Plumtree against Welbeck.
When the weather intervened on Saturday, Cuckney were in control of their match at Radcliffe-on-Trent, having reduced the home side to 173-7 from 44 overs after putting them into bat. Australian Trent Lawford inflicted most of the damage, taking 5-26 to defy determined batting from James Marshall (74) and Rob Sutton (35).
Plumtree’s match at home to Notts CCC Academy was in the balance for they had managed a total of only 205-8 in their allotted 50 overs. Hassan Azad hit 63 and skipper Ben Storey 31, but the main honours went to Academy bowler Connor Marshall, who took 6-51.
Third-placed West Indian Cavaliers went into their fixture at home to Caythorpe still harbouring hopes that they could have a say in the title race. But the rain left them 27 points behind the leaders and needing a miracle in the last two set of games. They did all they could, though, as Corey Collymore bagged 5-30 to help them skittle the visitors for 152, of which more than half was scored by one player, Martin Dobson (80). Cavs were 19-1 in reply when the abandonment came.
At the foot of the table, the frantic scramble to avoid the drop looks likely to go the wire, with just ten points separating the bottom four, Ordsall Bridon, Hucknall, Welbeck and Clifton Village.
Frustrated Welbeck looked all set to ease their fears when bowling out Bridon for just 106, with Jonathan Ball taking 3-17 and Tom Lungley 3-33. But after replying with 22-1, the heavens opened and they had to be satisfied with just ten points.
It was a similar story for Clifton, who dismissed Mansfield Hosiery Mills for 128 thanks chiefly to Muhammed Usman (4-26) and Martin Weightman (3-29), but could barely begin their reply.
However, Hucknall were up against it when the weather halted their game at Kimberley, who amassed a total of 306-9 in the hands of Dominic Brown (123 off 107 balls) and Neil Edwards (56), despite 5-60 from Will Spray. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/notts-premier-league-round-up-top-two-cuckney-and-plumtree-set-for-showdown-to-decide-title-1-8094373 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/0d815a8efd22817512acff872d078839af0eac7bb294adf2387f958e8fb98d1f.json |

The court heard he owed £1,816 in costs, fines and compensation after convictions for assault in July and September 2015, and for keeping a vehicle without a valid licence in February 2016.
Dawes, who is unemployed, said he could borrow money from his aunties.

Needing to chase 452 for victory or bat out a minimum of 175 overs to save the game, Notts moved to 61-3 before heavy rain curtailed play for the day midway through the afternoon session.
Tom Moores proved to be the main barrier between victory for Yorkshire, with the youngster marking his debut for the Notts with a career-best 41 not out.
And the rain raised fresh questions regarding Yorkshire captain Gary Ballance’s decision not to enforce the follow-on on day two as the Tykes look to close the gap on Division One leaders Middlesex during what is their game in hand.
Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell, said: “Obviously we’re in a very tough position needing another 390 to win, so we’re clearly on the wrong end of the game so any time taken out of it is good for us.”
On Moores’ performance, he added: “Some of the quality of the shots that he played were outstanding.
“On a pitch where some of our senior batsmen have got out and are struggling for confidence, he has played some aggressive shots that really make you sit up.
“It’s going to be tough. Seven wickets in a day is not a huge amount but again lost time tomorrow would be beneficial to us.
“It will all depend on how much it rains today because the forecast is pretty good for tomorrow, so if time was taken out of the day then it would increase our chances of a draw and something to grab hold of.
“We were quite surprised they didn’t enforce the follow-on, so anything that happened this morning wasn’t particularly surprising for us.”
Yorkshire began the day leading by 388 on 200-4, and they batted for 12.2 overs following a 40-minute delay as Gary Ballance brought up a 29th first-class century.
Having resumed on 75, the England batsman moved through to his three figures from 163 balls having hit 14 fours as he shared in an unbroken stand of 69 with Tim Bresnan (35 no), who himselg hit five fours and a six.
The declaration came moments after he celebrated the milestone on 263-4, leaving Notts five overs before lunch to bat out.
But Jack Brooks struck with just his third ball as Steven Mullaney edged to Jack Leaning in the slips.
Youngsters Jake Libby and Moores were then tasked with seeing off the new ball, and they batted showed admirable defensive techniques before Bresnan swung the pendulum back in Yorkshire’s favour.
He removed Libby with the first ball of his spell as Jake Lehmann took a tumbling catch at fourth slip before Michael Lumb feathered an edge through to Andrew Hodd five balls later to register a pair against his former county.
Moores, however, continued to relish the responsibility of batting at number three for the first time in Championship cricket as he played some eye-catching strokes, including an imperious straight drive off the bowling of Steven Patterson.
He and Brendan Taylor were at the crease when the umpires decided the light was bad enough for play to be abandoned, and the heavy rain that followed brought about a premature finish to a day in which 58 overs were lost.

Andrew Hodd made his best score for the county while valuable contributions from Azeem Rafiq and Jack Brooks saw them recover from 51-6 to be bowled out for 282 at North Marine Road.
They then reduced the visitors to 38-2 at close to end the day 244 ahead.
With Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read having opted against a toss and chosen to field first, Yorkshire’s openers looked in little trouble until the somewhat fortunate dismissal of Adam Lyth.
The left-hander was left stranded as Steven Mullaney deflected a drive onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end, and his wicket sparked an almighty collapse that saw five more fall for just 30 runs.
Mullaney – who had previously only taken five Championship wickets in 2016 – proved to be the unlikely hero with the ball as he drew edges from both Lees and Jake Lehmann that were taken in the slip cordon.
From the other end Luke Fletcher was rewarded for a tight new ball spell with the wicket of Gary Ballance – who is captaining the Tykes due to a back injury suffered by Andrew Gale – before Mullaney picked up his third as Tim Bresnan offered no shot and was adjudged LBW.
Jack Leaning followed back to the pavilion after hanging a loose bat out to a wide Brett Hutton delivery and edging to Samit Patel at third slip to leave the hosts reeling with half an hour of the morning session to play.
But from there Hodd and Rafiq took over as they put together a partnership of 132 for the seventh wicket, with the latter being the main aggressor as he made an eye-catching 74 from just 92 deliveries with 11 fours just hours after being presented with his county cap by club president John Hampshire.
He was eventually dismissed by the final ball of Patel’s first over, and though Steven Patterson was trapped LBW by Imran Tahir, the Tykes were far from done yet as Brooks looked to tuck into anything loose that an attack shorn of the injured Harry Gurney and Stuart Broad, as well as late England call-up Jake Ball, delivered.
He bludgeoned his way to 48 from 66 balls during a stand of 88 with Hodd before chopping onto his own stumps while looking to cut Hutton away to bring up his fifty.
Ryan Sidebottom then fell victim to the second new ball as Hutton wrapped him on the pads to end the innings on 282 and leave Hodd unbeaten on an excellent 96.
Brooks then helped maintain the momentum as he trapped Jake Libby LBW with his first ball of the visitors’s reply before debutant Tom Moores edged Bresnan’s second ball to Lyth at second slip in the final over. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/day-one-report-notts-frustrated-by-yorkshire-s-lower-order-1-8084861 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/baf65487169450881d09cc4e84cb7fb3a3177963d94e037bdc31b21fd4b0bc3a.json |

Stuart Richard Harold Smith, 38, of Baums Lane, admitted driving with excess alcohol when he appeared before magistrates in Mansfield on Wednesday.
The court heard he came off the red Kawasaki bike at the roundabout on Newlands Drive, Forest Town, on June 16.
He was taken to hospital where a blood test revealed he had 124 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 milligrammes of blood, where the legal limit is 80 microgrammes.
Mary Dixon, mitigating, said: “Mr Smith is going through a very difficult period. He was running a car wash but the land-owner put up the rent considerably and he had to give it up.
“He is very depressed. On that particular evening his mother rang him and gave him some grief about giving up the car wash.”
No one else was injured in the crash but Smith’s big toe was broken, the court heard.
He has three points on his licence for speeding in March 2013.
He was banned from driving for 14 months, fined £120 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £30. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/mansfield-biker-crashed-after-getting-grief-off-mum-1-8098398 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/b29bbdb94950244fc0d65ee4031a6ad88ba012fad3e00385182c40cf33fa73d6.json |

Unless you have been on Mars; you’ll no doubt have heard about Oliver Burke’s departure from Nottingham Forest at the weekend. However, I will embellish on this fiasco later on in the week.
So let us rewind to Saturday when everything was a bit brighter and even I refused to be negative!
Leeds United were the visitors the City Ground and under the stewardship of Gary Monk looked a tricky tie on paper.
It’s no surprise that both clubs have identical records since their respective tumbles from the Promised Land that we call the Premier League.
Leeds have had an indifferent start to this campaign under Gary Monk but you get the feeling that he will turn it around anytime now, luckily for us that time was certainly not 5.45pm last Saturday.
Forest started brightly against the Yorkshire men and forced some early corners, Oliver Burke almost netted one of them off Lansbury’s whipped delivery.
The home side did indeed take the lead by virtue of an identical delivery; Pajtim Kasami exploited the same defensive frailties and blasted home from close range with ease.
It was fantastic to see Stephen Henderson have a solid game too; despite the odd flap here and there he was on hand to produce a cracking save to prevent a Leeds equaliser. He also plucked a couple of dangerous crosses safely from their intended targets.
Speaking to a couple of Leeds fans, it soon became evident that they had a real problem defending crosses and corners. Forest punished them in this manner once again to go two goals ahead in the second half.
Damien Perquis hung in the air like Michael Jordan before planting an unstoppable header past Rob Green. It seems more than just a coincidence that the reds were utilising every opportunity to get the ball into the box, if this was indeed tactical nouse by Philippe Montanier, then hats off to him.
I’m still not sure about him but he’s certainly not boring, that’s for sure!
I even thought that we might achieve our first clean sheet of the season, but the home defence, manager and goalkeeper cannot be held responsible for Leeds United’s goal in the 83rd minute. Kevin Phillips scored an absolute beauty of a free kick, from all of thirty yards out.
The familiar nervous grumblings began to echo around our famous old stadium soon after the Leeds goal - a predicted score line of 4-3 carried itself from the Trent End to the A block, accompanied by a wave of nervous laughter.
Well, on previous evidence, you’d be a brave man or woman to disagree!
Unbeknown to the remaining supporters in the ground, they were about to witness a moment of history in added on time at the end of the game. In the same way that those stragglers who witnessed Des Walker’s only ever goal did, the Forest fans were treated to a swansong from Oliver Burke.
The young genius weaved and powered his way from the left touchline before finishing from the tightest of angles past Green. If this is the last we ever see of Oliver Burke in the famous red jersey, then it was a wonderful way to say goodbye.
You could compare it to Carl Froch’s last ever punch in professional boxing; a career defining moment that will live long in the memory.
It is beyond comprehension that the club have allowed such an amazing talent to go at the first sign of any real money, especially after we offloaded Jamie Paterson in the same week.
As I said at the beginning of this piece, I have LOTS to say about the Burke transfer but not just now. As the Irish like to say: “A windy day is not for thatching”. | http://www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/sport/local-sport/opinion-oliver-burke-says-goodbye-in-style-with-nottingham-forest-1-8095211 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/fc73fb41b6cd75494f7e4d9f9eb2ef748f52dfad66c162d6efc5193a2e34cd6a.json |

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired, Liberty Ship, Bang Bang Romeo, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

Amber Valley-based Present Company is staging hit musical The Scarlet Pimpernel - by Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton - at Buxton Opera House from September 1 to 3.
Set against the backdrop of the bloody French Revolution, this a tale of courage, betrayal, justice, trust, intrigue, honour and love.
The story traces the exploits of Sir Percy Blakeney (played by David Partridge) and his “Bounders” during the 1793-4 Reign of Terror which followed the execution of Louis XVI. These aristocratic Englishmen rush across the Channel and using disguises and their wits, rescue their French counterparts from the guillotine. At home these ‘daredevils’ hide their identities, and their courage, by posing as Regency fops to avoid suspicion.
Sir Percy is married to French actress, Marguerite St Just (played by Rachael Louisa Bray), but she has a shadowy past including an affair with The Pimpernel’s arch enemy.
Performances are 7.30pm Thursday-Saturday plus a Saturday matinee from 2.30pm. For ticket details, you can call the box office on 01298 72190 or you can go online at www.buxtonoperahouse.org.uk

The Frenchman was left angry after watching Forest battle to a tense 4-3 win over Wigan Athletic thanks to Thomas Lam’s dramatic 93rd minute winner.
He was left furious after the Reds had allowed Wigan to level on three separate occasions.
“I am happy with the win, but we gave Wigan too many chances to hurt us and I cannot accept that.” he said.
“When you make a mistake you have to learn from it, not just do it again.
“When we attack we have to get the right balance, we have to defend as a team and get the mentality right.
“We are making individual defensive errors at the moment and that is something we have to get rid of quickly.
“It is important defenders do not take too many risk and make errors. We have the players to change things, we just have to get the right mentality.”
Frustrated Wigan boss Gary Caldwell was left to lamenting his side’s shaky rearguard and the match officials.
“I am very disappointed and angry that we have lost this game,” he said.
“We played well, but it is no good playing well and getting nothing from the game.
“All four goals we conceded were avoidable and there are times when you just have to dig in.
“We did not get any help from the officials today. Lam fouled Will Grigg just before the goal.
“He has followed through and Grigg is not the sort of player to go down for no reason. The
linesman was there but has done nothing.
“The officials have not done their job. We have got nothing today and it is very disappointing.”
Forest got off to the perfect start when Britt Assombalonga took advantage of Dan Burn’s woefully underhit backpass to slot home on six minutes.
Michael Jacobs rounded off a superb passing move to drag the Latics level on 11 minutes.
Forest nearly went ahead six minute later after Matty Cash cracked an effort against the post before Pajtim Kasami’s follow-up was blocked.
Adam Bogdan tipped Apostolos Vellios’ first-time shot around the post on 23 minutes, before Oliver Burke failed to convert a one-on-on after more poor defending by Burn.
Ben Osborn dragged a shot wide on 30 minutes, before Kasami fired just wide in injury-time for the home side..
But Forest were deservedly back in front nine minutes after the restart when Burke caught the defence napping after a long ball over the top.
Bogdan kept the visitors in the game on the hour mark when he beat away Vellios’ penalty after Chris Cohen had been fouled by Craig Morgan.
It proved to be a costly miss when Will Grigg headed the Latics level on 65 minutes.
The Reds hit the front for a third time when Burke rifled an angled finish home on 78 minutes.
Wigan levelled yet again through Grigg’s neat finish three minutes from time.
But Forest refused to settle for a point and finally broke Wigan’s spirit when Lam rifled home deep into stoppage time.
