The redestribution programme, Community Food Connection, has reached its first milestone of one million meals of surplus food given away by Tesco stores nationwide. And the store on High Street, Heanor has played its part by working closely with the food redistribution charity FareShare, and other local charities.
The unsold food is given to the charities free of charge and includes fresh produce, such as fruit, vegetables and bakery products, and chilled stuff, such as meat, dairy and ready meals. “We believe no food that could be eaten should go to waste,” said a Tesco spokesman. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/heanor-s-tesco-superstore-gives-away-2-123-free-meals-to-charities-1-8091123 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/10049421cef77bd2778092293241424452ca7a7e41f70900bbdf7d29cdbe4837.json |

The host of Great British Bake Off will also offer a user’s guide to Mary Berry at Sheffield’s Lyceum Theatre on September 6 and at Buxton Opera House on September 14.
Sue is looking forward to interacting with a live audience. She said: “It enriches me. What I have done lately has been TV based so I haven’t had the same feedback as I get live, and that’s what I love. The audience is a abig pool of fun you can swim around in.
“I don’t encourage hecklers, but sometimes a heckler is the funniest person in the room - why not embrace that?”
Births, deaths and lemon drizzle cake are among the subjects touched on in the show. Sue said: “I’ll talk a lot about the catastrophising that went on in my family. There was always a sense of something awful that imminent doom was around the conrer. It came from my mum - she’s a worrier, everything was a potential trip to A & E.”
Her tour LIVE! in Spectacles takes its title from her memoir. She said: “Writing a memoir begins a processs that doesn’t necessarily end with publication. You begin to think about family life and stories and relationships, and those are ongoing. My memoir is a story of family and childhood.”
Sue will be giving each ticket holder a copy of her book, Spectacles. She said: “It gives me the opportunity to meet the audience one by one afterwards during the signings.”
Commenting on why she reckons Bake Off is so popular, Sue said: “I think the chemistry between the four of us - Mary, Paul, Mel and I - works so well. But the real reason why the show is so successful is the twelve people who come to bake every year. ”
Sue reckons a sense of humour is vital. “Life is boring without the punctuation of punchlines. If you laugh at a joke, it’s because someone has put something you already know in a way you had never thought of it before.”

But there was little change in the outcome as yet again the weather had the final say.
The Millers - still with an outside chance of promotion if they win all of their remaining games - won the toss and went for maximum points .
As with previous weeks, the Millers’ batting line-up lost wickets at regular intervals whilst trying to post a competitive score.
Lewis Pinder (23) was the early aggressor setting the millers off at five an over. But after 15 overs they had slipped to 67-4 and some rebuilding work needed to be done.
Danny Hanson stepped up again and bludgeoned 62 (6x4, 5x6) to give the Millers a reasonable total to defend.
Along with Fritz De Beer (27) they helped the Millers to 191 all out from 43.3 overs. For Ambergate, Stuey Edgar was the pick of the bowlers with 4-46.
In reply, Ambergates inning was a washout as the players went on and off three times. The Millers did manage to get a breakthrough and extra point as Ambergate finished on 55-2 from 10.3 overs before the game was finally abandoned.
Next week sees the Millers travel to Morton who they beat earlier on in the season, with third still the best they can hope for they will be pushing hard (1pm start).
The Millers second team travelled to Queen’s Park hoping to keep that gap below them to a sizeable amount having played a game more.
Skipper Andrew Ball asked Chesterfield to bat first and they amassed 221-4 from their 46 overs. This could have been a lot better if the Millers could hold onto their catches as six where spilled.
Sam Fawcett (80) and Luke Westwell (51) were the main contributors the score. For the Millers, Scott Parkin picked up two wickets and there was a run out from the last ball to gain an extra point.
In reply, the Millers reached 29-1 from four overs with Neil Wing the only wicket to fall. With the rain coming down the inevitable abandonment came as the Millers looked promising.
As the games tick away the Millers are still in a real dog fight and next week they play Alfreton in a basement clash which will go along way to deciding the fate of both teams.
The Millers must sharpen up their fielding if they are to stay at this level (1pm start). | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/rain-dampens-return-to-stations-road-for-millers-1-8096383 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/f11db1fe45823b8ef5e578f11b1fc3b077a01ffbade1ab1fe0b3636108e70c6e.json |

The graduates and apprentices from the power systems company are working with Viva as part of their training programme to stage the one-off event which is inspired by the traditional village fetes but with a modern twist.
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.”

Nationally, this year’s results have shown the biggest ever year-on-year decline – down to the lowest level since 2008.
But provisional results show that 62 per cent of Year 11 students in Derbyshire achieved grades A* to C in English and maths – an increase of 3 per cent from last year.
Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for children’s services Councillor Jim Coyle said: “I’m delighted that early indications show our GCSE students have bucked the national downward trend and achieved even better grades than last year.
“GCSEs are an important stepping stone for the future whatever route young people choose to follow, whether that be vocational or academic.
More than 7,500 students across the county’s 45 secondary schools received their results today (Thursday 25 August) with many outstanding stories from both schools and individual students.
Further education or training options open to Year 11 students are:
• Full-time education such as sixth form, college or work-based learning
• An apprenticeship
• Part-time education or training if they are employed, self-employed or volunteering for more than 20 hours a week
Coun Coyle said: “Young people staying on in education or work-based training can develop better skills, create opportunities and have more chance of fulfilling their learning potential and getting a job they enjoy.
“Even if students don’t do as well as expected in their GCSEs, schools can put them in touch with advisers who can go through all the options open to them. These include a wide range of vocational qualifications and apprenticeships which will be showcased at our Skills Festivals.
“Whatever results students may have received today it’s important for them to know what options are open to them as they stay on in education or training.”
The county council’s Skills Festivals are Derbyshire’s largest careers events for young people and are aimed at students aged 15 to 19, including those in Year 11 who are considering their options after school. This year’s events will be held at:
• Queen’s Park Sports Centre, Boythorpe Road, Chesterfield, S40 2ND on Thursday 15 September between 3.30pm and 8pm.
• The Roundhouse, Derby College, Roundhouse Road, Derby, DE24 8JE on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 September between 3.30pm and 8pm.
Training providers, the Armed Forces, larger employers and the county council’s community adult education service will be on hand to talk to young people. They will also be invited to take part in a range of have-a-go activities including forensic science, 3D printing and the use of technology in manufacturing.
There will be sessions for young people with special educational needs and disabilities and NEETs (young people who are not in education, employment or training) will also be invited.
Coun Coyle added: “I want to congratulate all the students for their hard work – and heads, teachers, staff, governors, parents and our school improvement service for supporting our young people in achieving their success.”
There is also a host of useful information for young people on the county council’s YOUTHINC website here.
Meanwhile, students who are not thinking about higher education can check out the Government’s apprenticeships website {www.apprenticeships.org.uk |herel|here}.

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.
Rock City, Stealth and the Rescue Rooms are the venues taking part and among the bands involved will be Sikth, Inme, Area 11, Black Peaks, The Qemists, Seafret, Eyre Llew, Suspect Alibi, Stop Stop, Continents, Three Girl Rhumba and Tigress.
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.”

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Tuesday, August 23, how Mark Shaw, 38, of Beech Way, Danesemoor, near Clay Cross, was stopped by police for driving erratically and they discovered the ASP in the driver’s side pocket.
Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett said: “It was about 8.55pm when police saw the vehicle on Market Street, at Clay Cross, and the defendant was driving erratically with wheel-spinning.
“They stopped the vehicle and spoke to the defendant and saw the ASP in the driver’s side pocket.”
He told police the ASP was bought online and he had no good reason for having the weapon other than that he uses it to control his dog which can be aggressive.
Shaw pleaded guilty to possessing an offensive weapon in a public place without lawful authority or reasonable excuse after the incident on May 27.
Defence solicitor Bertie Mather said there has been no complaint from any member of the public and no one has made any comments about being threatened with this item.
He added that the telescopic ASP was in a collapsed state when it was found and there had been no attempt to hide it and Shaw co-operated with the police.
Magistrates sentenced Shaw to a 12 month community order with 90 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

Yorkshire's Olympic cycling superstar Ed Clancy hopes to equal Sir Bradley Wiggins' total of five gold medals.
The 31-year-old, Barnsley born and Huddersfield raised, is already the county's most decorated athlete in Olympic history after helping to defend the men's team pursuit title from Beijing and London, picking up his third gold in Rio.

After their win, in a video chat with Clancy at Team GB in the Olympic Village - watch it above - he told how he is now thinking four years ahead to what could be his own fairytale ending in Tokyo.
There he believes he could end up with two more Olympic golds.
That would put him level with Wiggins, aged 36, who ends his career as the most decorated British Olympic athlete with five golds, a silver and two bronzes to surpass fellow cyclist Sir Chris Hoy's tally of six golds and a silver..
Clancy, the only ever present member of the pursuit team to have won gold in the most recent three Olympics, said:: "I'm 31 now and I've got three golds. I'm going to do Tokyo, at least that's the plan.
Ed Clancy wins his third Olympic gold medal in Rio
"So who knows, I might pick up another one; two if I'm really lucky.
"In reality it's going to be very, very hard to match Sir Brad, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. He's a brilliant guy. He's been a real addition to this team. Brad's retired now but I'm grateful I've gone through two Olympics with him."
He paid tribute to National Lottery funding, distributed by UK Sport, which has given the financial support to take him and Team GB up the medals league table.
Clancy said: "My whole career started with them really. I was brought in through the talent team - British Cycling it was called back in the day and it's called Go Ride now.
Five gold medals for retiring Team GB cycling legend Sir Bradley Wiggins.
"Keep buying Lottery tickets. It's not just me that benefits from this.Without the funding, the input we've had from the Lottery and the Government we wouldn't be here."
The Yorkshireman was the beating heart of Rio's four man pursuit team, also featuring Owain Doull and Steven Burke, which saw Wiggins retire after their dramatic world record victory over Australia,
In a stand-out moment of an amazing Games for Team GB they came from behind in the pursuit final to beat the Aussies by almost a second with barely 500m of the 4,000m contest to go.
They set a new world record in the heat and broke it once again in the final, with a time of 3:50.265, in Rio's Olympic Park.
Going for gold in Rio - the GB Men's Pursuit Team
But it was against all the odds.The team failed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and they didn't make the podium at last year’s world championships
Clancy was suffering from his own problems, slipping a disc in his back after a training session - simply picking his bag up in the changing room. Surgery followed, forcing him to miss the European championships.
He only turned it around in recent weeks, with reports from the team’s training base in Wales that they were going well after smashing the world record in a practice session. A nd he said it felt like the best gold yet.
"Yes, I'm over the moon," he said.
"It's been a difficult time between London Olympics and getting here in 2016, not just in terms of motivation but getting over injuries and what not.
"There is an old sayting, the tougher the fight the sweeter the victory and it's so true. I've never had to work so hard for this one.
"I had to get over a back surgery in December and scrape into the team in the World Championships, just to qualify your place. It's been a tough one but crossing that line ahead of the Aussies made it all so worthwhile.
"In a typical Team Pursuit the most efficient way to get from A to B is to set off hard, reach a cruising speed which you can only just hang on to, however the problem is if you ride like that in a final the other team can just set off like maniacs, get in your slip stream and then it's very hard to get rid of them.
"So both us and the Aussies were well over world record pace for the first two or three kilometers, way over it. There was no schedule really, We went flat out from the gun. I'm guessing they just pushed it a little bit too much, too soon.
"That's pursuiting. It's easy to go fast for the first three kilometers. You've got to cross the line after four kilometers.
"I guess we just paced it that little bit better than the Aussies and came better in the last two laps.
"It's like a house of cards, as soon as you take one guy out of the equation all comes crumbling down eventually. It might take one, two, three laps...but by the time that guy's got to do his turn again, they had nothing to give so it was good for us."

The Cadillac Three - Bury Me In My Boots (Big Machine Records. The Nashville-based country rockers The Cadillac Three cheerfully exploit every redneck cliche in the book as they serve up this raw and gritty celebration of all things Southern. The band’s 2015 single, White Lightning, captures the essence of the trio’s intense and instantly appealing approach to music-making, and newcomers to their refreshingly adult sound would also be well advised to lend an ear to prime cuts such as Slide and This Accent.
Leslie West - Mountain (Repertoire Records). This muscular solo offering from larger-than-life guitarist Leslie West first saw the light of day in 1969 and provided the first vinyl outlet for the band which would go on to become Mountain with the later addition of keyboardist Steve Knight. The contents should be required listening for anyone who professes an interest in the development of the rock genre during the late 60s and early 70s, with Felix Pappalardi’s inventive bass lines underpinning a heavily Cream influenced set boasting classic creations such as Dreams of Milk & Honey, Blood of the Sun and Dylan’s This Wheel’s On Fire.
Vladimir Feltsman - Schumann (Nimbus). This impressive three-CD set finds acclaimed Russian pianist Vladimir Feltsman bringing his instrumental artistry to bear on a broad cross-section of keyboard works penned by one of the leading lights of German Romanticism. The entire recital was captured for posterity during the space of just five days in March 2014, and many of Schumann’s most attractive compositions are given an airing in the process, including Carnaval, Kreisleriana and the deceptively childlike Kinderszenen from 1838.
Asylums - Killer Brain Waves (Cool Thing Records). Southend’s Asylums have been described as “an irresistible cocktail of Lemonheads, Weezer and Sonic Youth,” and echoes of the finest 90s rock certainly permeate Killer Brain Waves, the band’s urgent and well nigh irresistible debut set. Their quirkily memorable material tackles subjects as diverse as austerity and gender equality via an appealing flurry of incandescent melodic hooks, with I’ve Seen Your Face In A Music Magazine and the curiously anthemic Joy In A Small Wage emerging as the pick of an excellent opener.

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.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/iphone-7-launch-date-confirmed-and-it-s-soon-1-8096479 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/9e728f69097c2eef5f935fefdc2c846fc29c5d52f354d44d1ca3ea73d2d32a97.json |

But it looks as if he has played his last game of the campaign because of a suspected stress fracture of the back, which will keep him out of the final three County Championship matches.
It is a blow for the 22-year-old, who has signed a new three-year contract that will keep him at Derbyshire until 2019. He has made amends for an underwhelming debut season with the county by displaying the quality that marked him out as a player to watch at his former club, Leicestershire.
He has delivered in all forms of the games, scoring 606 runs, including two centuries, at an average of 68 in nine first-class matches in which he also took 22 wickets at 31 apiece.
Thakor has been listed as one of six standout performers under the age of 23 in the two divisions of the County Championship, so Derbyshire were keen to secure his services on a longer deal.
Said head coach John Sadler: “Shiv is a big player for us across all three formats and someone we can build our team around. He worked extremely hard over the winter and has reaped the rewards this season. He has been brilliant and he is only going to get better and better.
“He’s a young player who is coming of age and to secure his services for the next three years is brilliant for the club.
“Unfortunately, he now has what might be a stress fracture of the back. It looks like he is going to have to spend a bit of time on the sidelines which is a shame because he’s been massive for us this year.”
Derbyshire’s four day captain, Billy Godleman, is another player to signal his commitment to the club by signing a new two-year contract, and the opener is on course to pass 1,000 first-class runs for the second season running.
Godleman scored a century in the second innings of the latest Championship game against Essex, and his tally of 849 runs in ten matches at an average of 47 shows how important he has become after his breakthrough season in 2015.
Sadler said: “Billy has been a rock at the top of the order. He has been a consistent performer over the last few years and continues to improve, both as a cricketer and as a person. He is now an experienced senior player and a leader within the dressing room that the younger players can learn and gain advice from.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/derbyshire-s-standout-star-shiv-thakor-out-for-season-but-signs-new-contract-1-8081635 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/d3d8f6c9d8447afcd5604c6801854de397f04caec775df277086b5e71a31dc4d.json |

Matlock’s record in the FA Cup in recent seasons is poor, having been knocked out at the opening stage in the past two seasons, so Midland Football League Heanor represent a potential banana skin for Matlock.
Not only will Hopkins and Kirkwood be facing their old club, as will defenders Dwayne Wiley and Nico de Girolamo. the Lions could include striker Nathan Benger, who was at Matlock eight seasons ago and Keenan Layton who had trials with Matlock in the pre-season campaign.
“There’ll be some step five sides beat step three clubs and we’ve got to ensure we’re not one of them,” said Hopkins.
“We’ve got to make sure we prepare properly and treat it like a league game. “Heanor have some good players and if you let any team play then you end up in trouble.
“Kirky and me had some good times there and made a lot of friends but now all our attention is on Matlock and doing well for the club.”
A good crowd is expected for the derby clash with Heanor expected to bring a good following and with it being Non-League Day and fans of local Football League clubs expected to attend with the international break being on.
Should the tie require a replay, it will be on Wednesday night at Heanor.
Midfielder Ted Cribley picked up an ankle injury at Warrington which forced him out against Ilkeston and he will be assessed at training on Thursday night. The good news for Matlock is that Jamie Yates will be available once again after injury and looking ahead, goalkeeper Phil Barnes is a fortnight away from a return while full back Alex Pursehouse should resume training this coming Tuesday.
It has been a mixed start to the season with one win, three draws and two defeats with Matlock looking good in some parts of matches but making mistakes in others.
The trip to Warrington at Saturday was a prime example where Matlock stormed into a two goal lead, carrying on from the last half hour against Sutton Coldfield Town, playing their best football of the season.
But then defensive mistakes came into play and the Gladiators finished the match on the wrong end of a 5-3 scoreline.
“For 35 minutes it’s as well as we’ve played and few teams would have matched us,” said Hopkins.
“We were superb, moved the ball around quickly and got the ball out to the wings where we were dangerous.
“But then our game management was lacking. We needed to see the game out until half time at 2-0 and then regroup. But we conceded just before and straight after half time which was criminal and it unhinged us.
“There were lots of things we could have done better defensively as a unit because we were poor in that department.”
Bank Holiday Monday saw honours finish even in a tame scoreless draw with Ilkeston at the DCJ Group Insurance Arena.
“At least we put the defensive part of it right, we were solid but didn’t create enough,” he added.
“We were too deep but we were also cautious that they had two forwards with electric pace so we had to be a bit cautious.
“I also think both teams suffered a bit with two games in a short space of time, if you’ve got the players to swap five or six and freshen things up then you’re going to be better off.
“It was just a pity Joe Doyle-Charles could not take that chance near the end, we’d have been happy with a scruffy 1-0 win in the circumstances.”
Doyle-Charles became Hopkins and Kirkwood’s 14th new recruit, having joined from Alfreton Town last Friday.
The 20-year-old midfielder, once with Burton Albion before moving to Ilkeston, can also operate as a full back.
“We’ve had our eye on him for a while so we’re really happy to have him signed up as he’ll be a real asset for us,” said Hopkins.
“We’re still work in progress and we ask fans to be patient while we put together the side we want, it might take a while but we’ll get there.
“We’ve seven days notice in on another player and we’re working really hard to add one or two more to the squad.”

The yellow alert comes into force at 11am today (Saturday), covering Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and remains valid until 9am on Sunday.
After a dry and cloudy start, showers will spread into much off the region, potentially turning heavy and thundery.
The Met Office has warned there could be the risk of local disruption to transport and outdoor activities.
“Thundery showers are likely to move northwards into some southern parts of England during Saturday morning, becoming more widespread and heavy over central UK through the course of Saturday and overnight into Sunday morning,” they said.
“There remains a lot of uncertainty in where the heaviest and most prolonged thundery showers will occur, with some places having only small amounts of rain. However, there is a risk of some locally large rainfall totals, with 25 to 50 mm of rain possible in places.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/weather-warning-heavy-and-thundery-showers-for-east-midlands-1-8092144 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/bea26a868d57bcd530294e95743bbba125430f487cd77683d50e5890fa218a09.json |

Brave Alfie Gregory, aged three, had already beaten an earlier strain of acute myeloid leukaemia but his family was devastated to be told in April that the awful disease was back again.
Mum, Chelsey, stepped-in to provide the transplant but now three year-old Alfie faces a long wait in isolation while hospital staff monitor its performance to be sure of its success.
And so, in an attempt to give the young fighter something to look forward to she has planned a trip to Florida so that Alfie can live out his dream of swimming with dolphins.
Chelsey, 21, of Meadow Street, Ironville, said: “He does really well - he never stops. He is always smiling and laughing - even on his bad days he makes us smile and laugh. He his so brave with what he has been through but it does effect him quite a lot.
“He suffers with anxiety because he has no control over what is happening around him, which can sometimes make him quite frustrated and angry.
“But he knows everything that is happening - like what all the drips are for and that he has poorly blood and has to have new blood to get better.”
Chelsey said she hoped the holiday would allow Alfie to forget what he had been through or what could still be ahead of him after the latest bout of treatment and allow him to be able to smile and laugh like a normal little boy again.

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.
360 PHOTO: Take a look around the muddy camp site where hundreds of music fans also pitched their tents at Leeds Festival - CLICK HERE.
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 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.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Tuesday, August 23, how Francis Henry Stout, 67, of Bolehill, Calow, Chesterfield, had been boozing after taking a friend to the shops and was involved in a collision with a family in another car on the return journey.
Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett said: “A friend had been picked up by the defendant and taken to the local shop with another person and he later drove the friend back to her address.
“The friend didn’t believe the defendant had been drinking but he was hesitant in his driving and then started speeding up and he had to swerve to avoid driving into a bridge and he crossed white lines in the road and swerved into the opposite carriageway again.
“Another driver and his family were driving in the opposite direction and saw the defendant in a blue Jaguar coming towards him and he had to swerve to avoid a collision but was struck with some force by this defendant.
“The driver was shook up and the children in the car were screaming.”
The court heard how Stout drove off to his nearby home but a member of the public followed him and reported him to police.
Officers found Stout’s car parked in a driveway, according to Mr Hollett, and the defendant was inside his home.
Mr Hollett added that when Stout was taken to the police station he refused to provide a drink-drive specimen.
Stout told police he had been driving and drinking alcohol and he had been involved in accident and confirmed that he had not stopped and he was very sorry.
Mr Hollett added: “He was shown dash-cam footage from the other vehicle and it upset him because he could hear the children screaming.”
Retired British Coal worker Stout pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention and admitted failing to provide a drink-drive specimen after the incident on Calow Lane, on July 28.
Defence solicitor Kelly Shooter said: “In his interview he was visibly upset once he had been shown the footage and this demonstrated his remorse about what happened.
“He cannot understand why he had been drinking. He took a friend to Morrisons and while he was waiting for them he consumed alcohol.”
Ms Shooter added that Stout does suffer with mild dementia and is receiving treatment and medicine for bladder cancer and high cholesterol.
Magistrates fined Stout £640 and ordered him to pay £85 costs and a £64 victim surcharge.
He was also disqualified from driving for 24 months.

Manchester United are set to step up their bid for Southampton defender Jose Fonte after Raphael Varane declared his intention to fight for his place at Real Madrid. United were made aware earlier in the summer that Varane was considering his future at the Bernabeu after falling behind Sergio Ramos and Pepe last season. There was a hope Varane’s relationship with Jose Mourinho, who managed the Frenchman at the Bernabeu between 2011 and 2013, could convince the 23-year-old to swap the Bernabeu for regular football at Old Trafford. But after clear-the-air talks with coach Zinedine Zidane, Varane has revealed he is now set to stay in the Spanish capital. (Manchester Evening News).

He was a friend and mentor for many, but especially for Lorraine Froggatt.
The well-liked chap was a pub landlord and had many was often involved in community events, especially fundraising for a charity close to his heart – The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre.
Sadly, John lost his ongoing battle with oesophageal cancer in 2013, aged 70.
But Lorraine has kept his memory alive by hosting a charity weekend each year since his death, raising cash for the holiday centre as a tribute to John and his dedication to the cause.
This year marks the third fundraising event, and Lorraine hopes it will be bigger and better than ever.
The kind-hearted landlady and her customers will host the string of charity events over several dates in September, at The Windmill Inn at Heage.
The 39-year-old said: “As with years before, we are hosting ‘Riding for Redders’ and ‘Redders Charity Weekend’. However, unlike other years the two events will not run over the same weekend, and will be a week apart.
“We really hope people will get involved and support not only a worthy charity, but everyone who is taking part or who has helped organise the events.
“We have dubbed the cycle ‘Riding for Redders’ – as it incorporates John’s nickname. He was a pillar of the community and we know he would have loved our efforts. Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre is an amazing charity and I am very proud to be a part of fundraising for them.”
Riding for Redders will kick off on Saturday, September 24, from 8.30am at the pub on Park Road.
Around 25 regulars and community members setting off from the pub to cycle 100 miles to the holiday centre in Skegness, Lincolnshire. On the riders’ departure there will be balloons released to mark the start of the event.
The following weekend – September 24 and 25 – the charity weekend held, starting with a family fun day. NCL inflatables will be providing a jungle assault course and Bugs and Bones will present an interactive experience with exotic animals.
There will also be face painting, glitter tattoos, a potted wheel for youngsters to have a go at making their own pots, kids craft stalls and balloon modelling, a tombola, cake stalls and a tug of war.
Loyal customer Bernie has also been growing his beard since May 23, and will be inviting guesses at how long his facial hair is – for 50p a go.
From 4pm to 11pm, there will be live music. DJ Shookz will entertain the revellers from 4pm to 6pm, 6.30pm to 8.30pm will be Double Cross and from 9pm to 11pm Heage-born Simon Swift will perform.
Sunday will be just as jam-packed. The annual darts and dominoes competition will start from 1pm. The winners of each game will get their names engraved on to the John Redfern charity shield, and runners up will win a beer prize. From 5pm, there will also be a special guest and a raffle drawn at 8pm. At 8.30pm a charity auction will take place. Lots of local companies have been generous and donated prizes including a hamper from Thorntons, a cricket bat from Derbyshire County Cricket Club, and days out to Heights of Abraham and Gulliver’s Kingdom.
Last year raised more than £10,000 and Lorraine hopes to smash that record this year.
She added: “Not only are these events in memory of John and his legacy, they are also marking a very special year for the holiday centre. This year will see the charity celebrate 125 years of service – an extraordinary achievement. Please help us celebrate that, and of course – John.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/john-s-legacy-will-live-on-says-heage-fundraiser-1-8096583 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/0a65d6237c8ea5c40ae8a1595ce3cf9e451dfa0a12b551a3f5dffff8aaeab509.json |

The early 13th century church there was built as a private chapel to Dethick Manor. A daughter of this family married into the Babington family and by the 15th century the Babingtons had inherited the manor and chapel.
One of the farms there now is said to have the original fireplace and kitchen from this earlier manor house. It was the birthplace, in October 1561, of Anthony Babington, involved in the later named ‘Babington Plot’, which was an attempt to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I and install her imprisoned sister Mary Queen of Scots, on the English throne.
The Babingtons were secret Roman Catholics and thought that Catholic Mary was the rightful monarch, not Protestant Elizabeth.
The young lad – an ardent admirer of Mary – became associated with other sympathisers working on getting rid of Elizabeth, inclding John Ballard, a Catholic priest who also wanted Mary on the throne.
The plotters began writing letters to Mary to let her know their progress and plans. The letters between the two were encoded, but easily cracked when they were intercepted by the spies of Elizabeth’s secretary Sir Francis Walsingham. The originals were then resealed and sent on so the plotters would be none the wiser.
In one letter, Babington asked for Mary’s permission to assassinate Elizabeth. Mary responded in agreement but didn’t exactly endorse things. When the intercepted letter was deciphered and copied however, it had gained a postscript that did – probably a forged addition from Walsingham, also asking for the names of the plotters. This was the proof Walsingham needed to pounce.
In August 1586, Ballard was arrested and tortured and gave away Babington’s part in the plot. Babington tried to escape but was caught and sent to the Tower of London. He was tried with the other plotters and condemned to death for high treason.
So on September 20, Anthony Babington from the quiet little village in Derbyshire, met a very public and gruesome end in London being hung, drawn and quartered. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/column-a-big-history-for-a-small-village-1-8090328 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/c0c6f6adc100ba91fe77807dcbac8b5decece0515176bf689b0f45087f4c4437.json |

He got his big break at the age of 26 in 1954 when he made his professional showbusiness debut at the now-demolished Nottingham Empire. Before his first show he was so nervous he sat in a bar for most of the afternoon, going over his lines.
As a gifted live performer with perfect comic timing, it wasn’t long before he had risen to the top of the bill and by the 1960s his fame in the UK was such that he rivalled The Beatles as a household name. His recording of Tears was the UK’s third best-selling single of the 60s.

With both sides desperate for points they were hoping for good weather but it was not to be as play was abandoned after 15.5 overs of the home side’s reply.
A terrific century by overseas player, Tish Kumar, a half century from Ben Slater and an innings of 26 off 8 balls from Will Davis were the highlights of a proficient batting display by the Chesterfield side.
Denby won the toss and decided to field on a day when rain was expected.
Openers Ben Slater and Mykylo Bird played thoughtfully giving Chesterfield a firm base that was essential in the circumstances.
After ten overs they were 40-0 with a fascinating ‘head to head’ going on between Slater and his fellow Derbyshire team mate Greg Cork.
On this occasion it was Slater who came out on top with some sumptuous off drives showcasing his undoubted talent.
Bird was the first to go, for 24 with the score on 70-1 which soon became 70 -2. The two Denby spinners, Simon Mann and Joe Greenhaigh were really bowling well during this period.
Slater was eventually out for a fine 54, providing the rock on which the away side had the opportunity of building a good score.
Kumar and Ross Whiteley took that opportunity with a quick fire partnership of 78. Whiteley was out for 39 off 40 balls with the score on 187-4. Kumar’s half century had been scored off 46 balls.
Some explosive batting followed with Chesterfield scoring 89 off the final ten overs. Kumar continued his inspired innings eventually falling just before the end for 103 off 84 balls.
This is a player of genuine class who has proved to be a good signing for Chesterfield. The popular 22-year-old Canadian has recently returned from playing for the St. Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League where his team-mates included Shane Watson, Mike Hussey, David Miller, Darren Sammy and Morne Morkel.
Davis, the Derbyshire bowler enjoyed himself against his old club, scoring a remarkable 26 off 8 balls including four consecutive sixes.
Chesterfield completed their 50 overs at 282 -7. The Denby bowlers stuck to their task despite this onslaught, with Peter Burgoyne picking up three late, expensive wickets.
During tea the expected rain descended but thanks to quick action from the Denby groundsmen play resumed after a delay but could only continue for a further 15 overs when the rain came again with Denby on 80-3 and Cork unbeaten on 22.
Chesterfield gained 12 points and Denby nine. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/kumar-hits-a-ton-but-rain-is-the-winner-at-denby-1-8094762 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/49308347698bcb8938d0710219cd4ca2372d77a9c2cd5a1482ebc5e74f3ac1a8.json |

Twenty-seven year-old Francesca Stone said the rescue came in the nick of time as her two year-old son’s bedroom was already filling with smoke when her neighbour’s wife banged on the door to wake her up.
The mother-of-three had been fast asleep when her garden fence erupted in flames after being deliberately set alight but her neighbour leapt into action by grabbing his garden hose and scaling the fence between their two houses to douse it with water.
Francesca, of Sedgwick Street, said: “When the firemen showed up they praised my neighbour, saying if he had not come so quickly with his hose we would not be here because they could not get the fire engine up the street.
“It’s a really narrow street and with cars parked on both sides it can be very hard to get through.
“It’s really worrying because there is a school on this road so if that went up they would have the same problem.”
Francesca said hero neighbour, Tim Eardly, had then looked after baby Joey next door while she waited with her other two children for the police to arrive.
She added: “ I cannot thank him enough for what he did. The firemen said at the time that if he had not been there with that hosepipe we would not all be standing here talking.”
A spokesman for Derbyshire Police said the fire, which occurred at some point overnight between August 18-19 was being investigated as an arson attack.

Present Company is staging hit musical The Scarlet Pimpernel 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 that 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.

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

Wayne Rooney will not be offered a contract extension by Manchester United for at least another 18 months, SunSport understands. The England captain’s current contract runs until the summer of 2019 and he is aiming to end his playing career at Old Trafford. But United chiefs are reluctant on offering him new terms along with a pay-rise and he must prove he is worth an increase on his £300,000-a-week wages. (The Sun).

The 25-year-old winger was voted the 2015/16 PFA Player of the Year after playing a major role in Leicester’s memorable Premier League title-winning campaign. He has since been reportedly linked with a move to Arsenal, but contrary to reports in France, Sky sources understand the Gunners have not made a £30m offer for him. (Sky Sports).

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.ripleyandheanornews.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.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/b6aa1a96b7be1031e6ab9f277c49808b6d716537c938866e480ba9ba93551821.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.

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.

But they survived a late scare to cling on to a valuable 3-2 win.
A much-changed Reds’ side had created only a couple of chances before skipper Dan Bradley swept the ball past Laurie Walker in the 37th minute, after the keeper had only punched a Wes Harding cross as far as the edge of the area.
Craig Westcarr had drawn a point-blank save from Walker from a long Harding throw on 18 minutes and Liam Hearn hooked wide from close range from a Sam Smith lay-off, otherwise much of the first half action had involved the home team.
Alex Gudger’s 13th minute header from a corner needed clearing off the line, then Cecil Nyoni needed to tackle back as Steve Diggin played Lee Ndlovu through before James Armson fired wide from an Ellis Myles cross.
Fabian Spiess came out strongly to close down a scoring opportunity for Brackley moments into the second half by denying Ndlovu, then Glenn Walker glanced a header wide from a right flank cross, but Alfreton weathered the storm to grab two goals in a three minute spell with the aid of two excellent Westcarr corners.
Such was Westcarr’s accuracy that his 57th minute flag-kick went straight into the net off the bsck post, then on the hour another delivery left Tom Allan with a towering header six yards out that flew into the net to give the Reds a seemingly unassailable three goal lead.
However Alfreton were harshly penalised three minutes later when Armson fell rather too easily in the box under pressure from Allan, the Brackley player picking himself up to plant the spot-kick firmly past Spiess.
Diggin squandered a good chance to reduce the arrears further in the 68th minute, then seconds after replacing Hearn in the 78th minute Evan Garnett pulled his shot wide when he found himself one-on-one with the keeper from Smith’s pass.
Four minutes from time the pressure intensified when Armson’s glancing header from a Glenn Walker corner made the score 2-3, and with a good chunk of added time still to be played it took a great deal of concentration and defiant defending for the Reds to maintain their advantage.

Nepal’s Deputy Prime Minister Bimalendra Nidhi, who is also the special envoy of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda,’ today called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and briefed him about developments in the neighbouring country.
Stating that the relations between the two countries were not merely between the two governments, but between the people, the Prime Minister reiterated that India was committed to strengthening these traditional bonds of friendship and kinship with the people of Nepal.
The Prime Minister also conveyed his greetings and best wishes to the new government of Nepal, an official statement said here. The Special Envoy, who has come to lay the ground for Mr Prachanda’s visit to India next month, earlier yesterday held talks with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
According to sources, the External Affairs Minister told Mr Nidhi that India was already ready to work closely with Mr Prachanda. He had later called on President Pranab Mukherjee and extended the invitation of Nepal’s President Bidya Devi Bhandari to him to visit her country.
Mr Prachanda is expected to be in India in late September when he goes to New York to attend the 71st UN General Assembly in late September. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/prachandas-spl-envoy-briefs-modi-on-developments-in-nepal.html | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/f41911d1b8d29e142147086396d53c13ac91ad4908817c6443fcedb0bd09ec00.json |

Reacting to a statement by Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung that he was in the process of overturning the ‘illegal’ decisions by the Aam Aadmi Party Government, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the LG were ‘negative people’ who were creating hurdles in the development of the national capital.
In a series of tweets, Mr Kejriwal alleged that Mr Modi wanted to reverse, through the LG, several decisions of the AAP Government for the benefit of the public like ‘Mohalla clinics’, increase in minimum wages for workers and making power companies accountable for unscheduled power cuts. ‘’ Guys. Can u name 1 positive thing that Modiji or his LG did for Delhi so far?
Only created hurdles. Negative people,’’Kejriwal tweeted. ‘’There are numerous decisions of AAP govt of public importance which Modiji wants to be reversed thro LG,’’he said. He also alleged that under pressure from the Centre, CAG has vehemently refused to audit advertisement expenses of Centre and other states. ‘’CAG vehemently refuses to audit ad expenses of Centre and other states. Why? CAG under pressure from BJP?,’’he said.
‘’AAP govt asked for land for 10 hospitals from DDA. Modi’s LG refused. Was our demand illegal? Hold power cos accountable- make them pay compensation for unscheduled power cuts. Is it illegal?LG sitting on it. Increase min wages in Delhi. Is it illegal? Sources: Big cos met Modiji n opposed it. Now LG sitting on that file.
LG hell bent on removing the team which made moh clinics and saved money on flyovers,’’he said in a series of tweets. On the LG’s claim of ‘least interference’ in working of the Delhi Government, he said,’’ If this “least interference”, then what is “high interference”.
Shameful subversion of democracy to protect chair.’’ Speaking at an event in Delhi last evening, Mr Jung said that he was in the process of overturning “illegal decisions” taken by the AAP government. While rubbishing Mr Kejriwal’s oft-repeated claim that he and Mr Modi have tried to stop the AAP’s governance initiatives, Mr Jung said,”the CM has gone on record asking why the value of an electors vote in Delhi will be half when the AAP government has won a stupendous majority. But that is his interpretation.
Which hopefully must be clear to him now. But unfortunately illegal decisions were taken without my knowledge. Then I wrote to the officials to set things right after the HC verdict. I have received around 250 files till date. Now that the court has drawn the line, they have sent the files. I am working with the hope that things will improve.” | http://www.centralchronicle.com/pm-wants-to-reverse-through-lg-decisions-of-aap-taken-for-peoples-benefit-kejriwal.html | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/8c2f3312ec31e786f479e5a4cdd03bf162ec8f6cacafb55388fa773c9a3d5d54.json |

Star Indian shuttler PV Sindhu today scripted history as she became the first Indian woman to clinch silver in badminton Olympics. The Hyderabad girl, who kept hopes of millions alive through the tense 82-minute game, finally had to settle own for a second place as as she went down fighting World’s number one Spanish Carolina Marin in the badminton women single’s finals 21-19 12-21 15-21.
Sindhu, the youngest ever Indian player to secure an Olympic medal, started the game on an aggressive note as she snatched the first set 21-19. However, Marin made a striking comeback in the second set to outplay her Indian opponent 21-12.
The Spanish player continued her winning spree in the third set as well and some terrific shots by her put the game in her favour 21-15. Carolina, who can annoy any player with her shuttle retrieving techniques, looked like a spectator as it was Sindhu who reversed the roles to clinch the first game 21-19. In the second game, Carolina, dubbed the “Girl Nadal in Spain” after male tennis star Rafael Nadal, attacked from the start.
The Indian couldn’t manage to control the torrent of attacks and trailed 2-11 at the mid-game break. After the break, Sindhu tried to bounce back and displayed a lot of power and strength to dismantle the strategy of the Spanish opponent but failed and relinquished the second game 12-21. In the decider, Carolina got off to a flying start as she took a five-point lead in the initial stage at 6-1.
But Sindhu, who was on a giant-killing spree after dismissing two higher-ranked opponents in competition, displayed grit to pull level at 10-10. Carolina went into the mid-game interval leading by a slender one point margin.
After the breather, the duo continued to fight for each point valiantly but it was the more experienced Carolina who proved superior. Sindhu though kept herself within a touching distance of Carolina at 14-16. But Sindhu was left powerless when Carolina upped the ante to pull ahead 19-14. She edged closer to match point with a half smash and eventually clinched the contest 21-15. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/sindhu-creates-history-wins-silver-medal-in-rio.html | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/11be00e88be5d5f063b5f47ac7b019430c306a06e8cc38402ecfb07abd5dfe10.json |

In yet another feather in the cap for Deepika Padukone, the Bollywood actress figures in the list of top ten highest paid actresses in the world released by the Forbes magazine.
Deepika figures at the tenth position in the Forbes’ list of the top ten highest paid actresses in the world, which includes names like Mila Kunis, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams, Charlize Theron, Fan Bingbing, Jennifer Aniston,, Scarlett Johanson, Melissa McCarthy and Jenifer Lawrence.
According to Forbes’, Deepika Padukone’s net worth is now a whopping 10 million dollars.
However a large part of that is not because of her fee as an actress, but more because of her endorsements.
Among the most lucrative ads she’s been a part of are Vistara and Tanishq Jewellery.
‘’While she earns less than her Hollywood counterparts for roles, Deepika compensates with over a dozen lucrative endorsements, which “have helped her hedge against a deep pay gap in Bollywood,” Forbes said.
Forbes said Deepika, who made her Bollywood film debut in 2007 with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Om Shanti Om, has “since starred in several films that have crossed the 150 million US DOllars or 100 crore mark “a barometer for box office success in India”.
‘’Deepika “has also become something of a style icon” launching her own label for an Indian online shopping site,’’the Forbes said.
Deepika, who makes her Hollywood debut along Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel, will be seen in 2017 in ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’.
Talking about the gender pay gap in the Indian film industry, Forbes said,’’ though a top Indian male star might earn close to 5 million US Dollars a movie, prominent Indian actresses rarely clear 1 million US DOllars a film. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/deepika-is-worlds-tenth-highest-paid-actress-forbes.html | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/45966f566e349c46c5ac9e9464dbd482f826190292ec1e0e60ec6d37a5085240.json |

Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugarathnam today said it was imperative for India to further speed up the process of economic reforms as it had to grow between 8 to 10 per cent over next 20 years for economic transformation.
Keeping the above growth rate was a must for creating jobs and bringing overall prosperity in the country, Mr Shanmugarathnam said here delivering the first NITI Ayog lecture series.
He spoke on “Fulfilling India’s Potential in the Global Economy”. He also made a strong case for India to make better use of technology and go for deeper integration with the global economy. Mr Shanmugarathnam said India had great potential which it had to make use of without losing any time ‘Make in India has to be Make in India for the world,’ the Singapore Deputy Prime Minister said. ‘India’s potential is still unfulfilled.
India needs to grow by 8 per cent to 10 per cent if it is to create jobs for a youthful population to reduce the tremendous under-employment of its population and if it is to achieve inclusive growth.’ | http://www.centralchronicle.com/india-should-speed-up-pace-of-economic-reforms-singapore-dy-pm.html | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/1ddcaaa6bef780700ce2bba716c26f575cdc166daf8ba455d207842170ea1c69.json |

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was very much concerned over the situation in the valley and has assured her that the agenda of alliance between PDP and ruling BJP in the state would be implemented to bring an end to violence in the state.
Talking to reporters after meeting the Prime Minister here, Ms Mufti said that she had conveyed to the Prime Minister that the agenda on which her party went for an alliance with the BJP was not followed. ‘’The Prime Minister assured me that the agenda will be implemented, and I hope that it would lead to peace in Kashmir,’’ she said.
This was her first meeting with the Prime Minister after the unrest broke out in the valley. Earlier, Mr Modi had met an Opposition delegation from Kashmir led by National Conference leader Omar Abdulla. Ms Mufti also blamed Pakistan for fuelling unrest in the valley, which has been on the boil ever since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.
She praised the Prime Minister and Home Minister Rajnath Singh for taking initiatives to enagage Pakisatn. She said 95 per cent people of Kashmir wanted peace, and those who were instigating violence were just five per cent. ‘’The kids who are being egged on to indulge in acts of violence are from poor families.
It is they who are being killed, not those whose wards were instigating violence,’’ she said . Ms Mufti favoured talks with everyone, and appealed to separatists to help in saving the lives of Kashmiri youth. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/pm-concerned-over-kashmir-assured-agenda-of-alliance-will-be-implemented-mehbooba.html | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/62474ae2e778b173751b32d59218410e81b7f8435aed0c56e2cab84614d5bbaf.json |

Touching a raw nerve, US Secretary of State John Kerry today said polarisation anywhere is not good as it reflects intolerance, frustration with governance. Interacting with students at IIT, Delhi, Mr Kerry said, “We have to respect rights of all our citizens irrespective of creed and allow them to protest in peace without fear that they will be jailed for speaking.”
He said beauty of India and the US was the history of making the impossible a reality. “This is a country with remarkable ethnic, religious complexity. A lot of people thought it was impossible to make the largest middle class. Our two nation’s possibilities are limitless. I look forward to what America and India can achieve together,” he said. Mr Kerry said his country wants India to move faster in two areas.
He said India has to improve regulatory process and bureaucracy needs to be streamlined and effective. “It has to become a partner in making decisions, not an expert in setting up roadblocks,” he said. On the issue of terrorism, he continued to push Pakistan to act against the menace.
“It’s clear that Pakistan has work to do in order to push harder against its indigenous groups,” he said, adding that the US has been urging Pakistan to crack down on terror camps. ‘We have talked about the sanctuaries in the country.
Pakistanis have suffered greatly from terrorism. 50,000 Pakistanis have been killed as a result of terrorism. They must work with us to help clear sanctuary of bad actors, ” said Mr Kerry. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/now-kerry-talks-about-intolerance.html | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/aca32182f77393222ce7330a73ff2d500e3109cd4e6d028f21c29e42aeb48e3f.json |

President Pranab Mukherjee today called for evolving a consensus on climate related issues as environmental degradation posed a serious threat to survival of humanity. Maintaining that the symbiotic relationship between man and nature had to be preserved, the President said that every country should take the responsibility for protecting the environment instead of blaming each other for environmental degradation “You can draw satisfaction in finding fault in other but the blame game will lead us to nowhere and very survival of humanity will be at great risk”.
The President said while addressing the maiden convocation of Nalanda University here. “This is a challenge not only for students but entire humanity, Whether we will survive …. Whether we will leave our world for our successor in the same way as our predecessors have left for us”,Mr Mukherjee said in the same vein.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today expressed dissatisfaction over mere incremental growth in the country and stressed up on the need of a metamorphosis. Inaugurating the NITI Aayog’s series of annual lecture on Transforming India, Mr Modi said “If India is to meet the challenge of change, mere incremental progress is not enough, a metamorphosis is needed”.
Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Tharman Shanmugaratnam delivered a keynote address on “Fulfilling India’s Potential in the Global Economy”. Stressing for global perspective and collaborations, Mr Modi said “Development now depends on the quality of institutions and ideas..,..We must change for both external and internal reasons..,..30 years ago, a country might have been able to look inward and find solutions but today countries are so inter dependent and inter connected that no country can afford any longer to develop in isolation”.
Mr Modi said “Younger generation in India is thinking and aspiring so differently that government can no longer afford to remain rooted in the past”. The transformation of India cannot happen without transformation of governance and that needed transformation of mindset and transformation of ideas, he added. Mr Modi whose government had already substituted the Planning Commission with the NITI Aayog, said “We cannot march through the twenty first century with administrative systems of the nineteenth century”.
“What we need is a collective opening of our minds, to let in new global perspectives: He hailed the first Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew as one of the greatest reformers and administrators of present times saying “he transformed Singapore to what it is today.
“It is therefore fitting that we are inaugurating this lecture series with Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore”, he said. Mr Shanmugaratnam is one of the world’s leading intellectuals, the Prime Minister said. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/incremental-progress-is-not-enough-a-metamorphosis-is-needed-modi.html | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/c3f44461a51661f86ff964b8bb90b7352ef03fc0c50b081facf280a878d2b72d.json |

India’s PV Sindhu cruised into the quarter-finals beating Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying in the women’s badminton singles event at the Olympics games here today.
Sindhu outclassed her opponent by winning 21-13, 21-15 in straight games, finishing the game in just 40 minute.

In the first game Sindhu, took an early lead though Tai did try to fought back back and came back to draw level, but the Indian player gained lead at the break.
Tai depended on her deceptive game to reduce the margin to 10-12 but she was equally erratic with her placements sometimes, while Sindhu showed better presence of mind and won the first game.
In the second game too Tai came back strongly and played some smashes down the line leveling the score 6-6 after Sindhu dropped her serve.
Tai committed unforced errors giving Sindhu lead 11-6.
The Chinese Taipei tried her best to win the second game, but the Indian player proved superior to her and outplayed Tai and ended the second game on a winning note.

BJP has faced more adversities in Independent India than Congress did during the British rule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted. BJP’s every effort was seen in a bad light and since its very birth, the party has been facing all odds, the Prime Minister said, while laying the foundation stone of a new swanky headquarters of the party at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg in Central Delhi.
He said after freedom, no party had perhaps made more sacrifices than BJP and several of its workers were killed as they were not associated with the prevalent ideology of those times. Stressing on ‘sabka saath, sabka vikaas’, Mr Modi said, “Our determination is to take everyone together and work for all individuals because nation building is our priority”.
Everybody should do their duty with dedication and take every section of the society forward, the Prime Minister added. Mr Modi said the new party office would not just be a building or a structure but a symbol of sacrifices of generations of karyakartas (cadre). The Prime Minister said during the recent West Bengal Assembly polls, the party found it difficult in getting an office in Kolkata as people were not willing to rent out an accommodation, fearing that they would land in trouble.
Praising the party workers, Mr Modi said the BJP Karyakartas did not work for crowd, but for the organisation as crowd could be collected by anybody by just talking about populist issues. Mr Modi said, “Our leadership’s stand has always been clear- we may sit in the Opposition, but we will not compromise on our ideals.’’
The “Bhumi Poojan” (foundation laying ceremony) was attended by BJP president Amit Shah, veteran party leaders LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Nitin Gadkari, M Venkaiah Naidu, Dr Harshvardhan and others. The Prime Minister also congratulated woman wrestler Sakshi Malik, who opened the medal account for India at the ongoing Rio Olympics.
He said, “India’s daughter has earned a new strength and respect for Tricolour on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. I extend my heartiest wishes and congratulations to her”. Mr Shah said the party could reach this height due to the hard work of the rank and file. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/bjp-faced-more-adversities-than-any-other-political-party-in-india-modi.html | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/3abeb41e7fdbf3723f289f9758cc26ef77f18ff5f36e9bcd027ebf18a1f6ed65.json |

All roads leading to Eidgah Martyrs grave yard in the down town, which is under curfew since July 9, have further been closed with barbed wire to foil “Azadi March” called today by separatists.
Both the factions of the Hurriyat Conference (HC) and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), spearheading the present agitation since July 9, a day after Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) commander Burhan Wani and two other militants were killed in an encounter in Anantnag, have extended strike call till September Ist against the civilian killings in security force firing.
Chairman of moderate HC Mirwaiz Moulvi Omar Farooq was arrested last evening, while chairman of hardline HC Syed Ali Shah Geelani under house arrest and JKLF chief Mohammad Yaseen Malik in central jail. The separatist organisations have today called for “ Azadi March” to Eidgah grave yard from different parts of the valley and to offer Friday prayers jointly there.
A UNI correspondent who visited down town and Shehar-e-Khas (SeK) areas saw hundreds of security forces and state police personnel, wearing bullet proof jackets, leg guards and headgears and holding automatic weapons deployed in and around the Eidgah ground. Though indefinite curfew continued since July 9, but today additional security forces had been deployed to prevent assembly of people there, the local residents said.
Roads leading to Eidgah, including from Chatabal, Safa Kadal, Nallahmar and other bylanes have been closed with barbed wire and nobody was being allowed to go there. People in areas adjacent to Eidgah were directed to remain indoor. ‘We were not even allowed to go to mosques early this morning, by the security forces deployed there,’ the residents alleged.
They said, though curfew remained imposed in the SeK and down town since July 9, but restrictions are being strictly implemented today. Curfew has also been extended to entire Srinagar, where only restrictions on assembly of people were inforce. However, main road to S K Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) was open though doctors, paramedical staff and patients were being allowed only after checking their identity cards and hospital prescriptions.
According to police, curfew has been re-imposed in entire Srinagar today to prevent any untoward incident. Mirwaiz, who was under house arrest since July 9, was arrested last evening from his Nigeen house. Mr Geelani also remained under house arrest since his return from New Delhi in May while JKLF chairman remained under detention since July 9. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/all-roads-leading-to-eidgah-closed-to-foil-azadi-march-in-srinagar.html | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/1f534d9c1ce308d56393a8f33481a5619b204ceaa1a06698110214290a15f43a.json |

Passing an order, a division bench of the court comprising Justice V M Kanade and Justice Revati Mohite held that the ban on women’s entry was a violation of articles 14 (equality), 15(prohibits discrimination based on religious lines), 19 (ensures certain freedoms) and 21 (protection of personal life and liberty).
The court further said the safety of women have to take care by the state government and Dargah trust.

In April, 2013 an envelop, containing a CD with thousands of classified information about India’s Scorpene submarine project, was delivered to a mail box in Sydney. The mailbox was belonging to a person who was supposed to be a defence expert.
The person, later identified as whistle-blower, kept the treasure trove of information with him for good three years, before he delivered the ‘landmine’ of intelligence which laid bare all the secrets relating to the Indian submarine project, which was being rolled out at the cost of 3.5 billion dollars from Mazagaon Dock Limited with the help of French Shipbuilder DCNS.
The French firm won a contract to designed and develop 10 submarines for the Royal Australian Navy and the secret CD which was lying in the mailbox of the whistle-blower for three years, surfaced in The Australian, the newspaper that exposed the massive leak which shook three nations—India, France and Australia—for different reasons.
The most effected party was India, whose closely guarded treasure about six submarines was out in open. Almost 22,400 documents were the dossier of the submarine which is supposed to remain in service for more than 50 years with fears that enemies might have acquired all the possible information about the boats, which were to keep a secret eye on their moments from under the water.
The Australian today came out with its own version of this inside story behind the leak, but would not reveal why the whistle blower was keeping it tightly guarded for three years.
Meanwhile, The Indian Navy has taken up the matter with Director General of Armament of the French Government expressing concern over this incident and has requested the French Government to investigate this incident with urgency and share their findings with the Indian side.

Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Sanjay Gandhi today launched an online complaint box for reporting child sexual abuse, the POCSO e-Box. The innovative Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO), e-Box, is an online complaint management system for easy and direct reporting of sexual offences against children and timely action against the offenders under the POCSO Act, 2012.
Though sexual offences against children are rampant, only a small percentage gets reported. According to a study, about 53 per cent of children surveyed, reported having faced one or the other form of sexual abuse in their lifetime. Speaking on the inspiration behind the scheme, Ms Gandhi said the idea of an e-Box came out of a police initiative in which physical complaint boxes were placed in schools.
The e-Box will make it possible to implement it on a large scale throughout the country. ‘A large number of incidents of abuse are against close relatives and so they get pushed under the carpet,’ she said. Simple to operate, the e-Box will help to maintain the confidentiality of the complaint, she explained.
MoS for Women and Child Development Krishna Raj and NCPCR Chairperson Stuti Kacker, who were present, said all efforts should be made to generate awareness about the e-Box so that more and more children can come out with their suffering. Highlighting the lifelong trauma of a child suffering from abuse, Ms Kacker said the online facility has been created so that the child can be given immediate help. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/maneka-launches-pocso-e-button-for-children-to-file-complaints-of-sexual.html | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/f1e0f4e450730d986a8ae06975fdc8b09e0e321e0cc0f85e46747ba8a10cfd69.json |

India’s PV Sindhu thrashed Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara in the semi-finals of the women’s singles badminton here today. The Indian shuttler won 21-19, 21-10 to enter the finals. In the first game Sindhu took an early lead, as both players played long shots. Sindhu took advantage of her height very well making the Japanese move around the court.
A good cross court rallies and a lovely drop by the Indian gave her a lead of 8-5. As the game progressed Sindhu switched to attacking mode. Although the Indian made two unforced errors, she retained her lead. The Indian had two game point opportunities at 20-18, but a brilliant rally from the Japanese cost Sindhu one point. But in the end Sindhu won the first game by 21-19. In the second game both the players tried to outplay each other.
As the game progressed an angled drop shot by Sindhu gave her lead. Both the players were drained as the battle continued, but the Indian started on an aggressive note to lead 15-10 with three great smashes. The Indian took a six point lead at 16-10.
In the end Sindhu captured the game 21-10. Sindhu is the first ever Indian to reach Badminton final at an Olympics. Earlier Sindhu outclassed World Number 2 medallist Wang Yihan of China 22-20, 21-19 to enter into semi final. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/pv-sindhu-reaches-gold-medal-decider.html | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/b0556e1208ebcd0964d294ebd00243514a9f1298142ece090a0a8e870ea2aa73.json |

Expressing his views on the need for a robust arbitration forum for the five-member bloc of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), Law, Justice and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said India is keen to provide an expeditious dispute resolution system to investors and aims to become a global arbitration centre.
Speaking at a conference on international arbitration in BRICS countries, Mr Prasad said, “While we welcome investments, we are keen on expeditious dispute resolution system. We want India to become a centre for global arbitration.” It is being believed that the international arbitration centres in Delhi and Mumbai are likely to be launched soon.
Mr Prasad added that though India has some of the best judges, they do not get adequate representation in the international arbitration cases. “If there is growth in business, disputes will rise. That’s why there is a need to put in place a robust arbitration forum,” the Minister said. He added, “If BRICS comprises around 42 per cent of population and 30 per cent of geography then why do we see less number of arbitrators from these countries.”
The Minister said close to 70 per cent of arbitrators in international arbitration proceedings belong to the Western world and the quantum of penalties imposed are heavy which could unsettle the economies of the nations in investor-state dispute settlement. Mr Prasad said the global world is one of inter-dependence, “but the world will not become global unless the local concerns of each nation are addressed”.
Mr Prasad described the dispute resolution mechanism in international arbitration as “ad-hoc and unpredictable” with a pre-dominance of arbitrators trained in the Western jurisprudence and not adequately briefed and conversant with the domestic social welfare issues of the emerging economies. Ajay Tyagi, Additional Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance pointed out that there was a lack of adequate representation of developing countries on the arbitral panels and limited options to appeal awards or adverse orders in cases where it is justifiable.
He suggested that there should be a mechanism for early dismissal of frivolous claims. Onkar S Kanwar, Past President, FICCI and Chair of BRICS Business Council said that an efficient and effective measure for the resolution of any commercial or investment dispute between investors or business entities from amongst the BRICS nations is imperative to encourage further economic activity and cooperation. He said the BRICS Business Council believes that international arbitration is an important area where we need to work closely with the government. “
As our trade and investment flows gather further momentum, there will be cases and issues that would call for resolution and the need for arbitration will only increase,” he added. N G Khaitan, President, ICA, pointed out that India can become a hub for international arbitration because now it is speedy, cost-effective, transparent and time bound.
The Indian arbitration law is more progressive as compared to other big countries. He added that to make India an international arbitration hub it was necessary to allow foreign arbitrators to participate in the country. | http://www.centralchronicle.com/india-aims-to-become-global-arbitration-centre-prasad.html | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.centralchronicle.com/0098a1f1a9d77df3b9cb145dc6f2a4d05f7b35f91f50c4dd1313b5b90bfa8bdd.json |

After analyzing data from rocks, fossils and genetic studies, a team of international researchers found the land bridge, known as the Isthmus of Panama, formed 2.8 million years ago. This finding contradicts recent studies arguing the land bridge came together anywhere from 6 to 23 million years ago, and it offers insight about the evolution and migration of animals in the region.
FIU geologist and paleontologist Laurel S. Collins is one of the 35 researchers who authored the study. She examined marine fossils to determine the rate at which the isthmus arose from the ocean.
“The formation of the Isthmus of Panama happened recently enough that fossil and geochemical records are well preserved, so they can be read accurately at a fine chronological scale,” said Laurel Collins, a professor in the FIU Department of Earth and Environment and research associate with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
The study, led by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, was recently published in Science Advances.
North and South America separated when the supercontinent Pangaea broke up round 200 million years ago. Eventually, the two landmasses slid back together. As they reconnected, a volcanic mound on the Caribbean tectonic plate collided with South America and rose above the ocean. The isthmus closed the seaway between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean and connected North and South America.
Dubbed by researchers as the greatest natural experiment ever, the formation of the Isthmus of Panama was a pivotal event in the planet’s history, driving major changes at sea and on land. The bridging of the two continents allowed previously isolated land animals to migrate and plant seeds to be easily scattered by wind, water and the moving animals. It also intensified the Gulf Stream, a powerful ocean current originating in the Gulf of Mexico and stretching up along the North American eastern seaboard, which ultimately led to the formation the northern hemisphere’s ice sheets and glaciers. The separation of the oceans helped create ideal conditions for coral reefs to thrive in the warm clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. It also isolated marine species, including snails, clams and fish, and caused new species to evolve on either side. According to the researchers, knowing when the isthmus formed is critical to answering questions about the ecology, evolution and the origin of modern day plants and animals throughout the Americas. | http://communitynewspapers.com/florida-international-university/geologist-challenges-age-land-bridge-connecting-americas/ | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | communitynewspapers.com/ff8ad30e0d8845652df74c63b8ce78373932a87e2908d3111f20050709ea4516.json |

And his dad Artie couldn’t be more proud.
“I didn’t even have a chance to anchor the boat off Key Biscayne and he already snares the first-place lobster,” a 2.75 pounder from a depth of just 4 feet.” This is an exciting feat in itself as most lobsters of this size are found much deeper, at 10 to 20 feet of water.
As winner of the Junior Division of the 7th Annual Miami Spiny Lobster Tournament, July 27-28, 15-year-old Hunter took home the $50 grand prize – and enough lobsters on the first day of the tourney to feed his entire family.
“Everyone enjoyed his catch, his mom, cousins, aunts, and uncles,” reports Artie, “well, everyone but Hunter himself. Irony is, he can’t even eat a bite of what he catches because of an allergy.” A student at Southwest Miami Senior High School, Hunter is a second-time winner, having also placed in last year’s tourney. | http://communitynewspapers.com/south-miami/lobster-hunter/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | communitynewspapers.com/dc82a8ffe2877a9a367bc1b82e163d47ea3beceb129a20ec6551d5c1e588f16e.json |

Upon its anticipated completion in 2018, the joint venture between 13th Floor Investments, The Adler Group and Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers will present more than 260,000 square feet of rentable space at 8832 SW 85th Street.
Charles Foschini and Christopher Apone of CBRE’s Miami, Florida, office arranged the construction loan from TD Bank at a floating rate for a three-year term.
“Motion at Dadeland was one of my more rewarding career deals. It is an exceptionally well thought out project that will benefit the community in its execution and connectivity being immediately adjacent to the Metrorail. Not without its challenges, we had to work to find a lender to lead the transaction that was comfortable with a long term ground lease provided by the county and understood that while there was a significant amount of apartment supply in the area, this project was clearly differentiated in its location, amenity, ownership structure and execution.” said Mr. Foschini, CBRE Vice Chairman of South Florida Markets.
13th Floor Investments and Adler Group purchased a ground lease for the 0.87 acre development site adjacent to the Miami Metrorail Dadeland North Station and Dadeland Station in 2014 from Miami-Dade County. Plans for the transit-oriented development call for luxury amenities and striking views of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay, along with approximately 8,346 rentable square feet of ground floor retail and 411 parking spaces.
