Ever since the human genome was mapped in 2001, scientists have been finding new and novel ways to manipulate it: intervening to remove offending genes or DNA sequences that can contribute to disease, and fixing mutations that can affect people’s health. As remarkable as those advances have been, however, they have only occurred on one dimension—the linear sequence of DNA.
Now scientists report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences their success in manipulating the genome in 3D. The human genome that’s squeezed into every microscopic cell in the body measures more than two meters long. To stuff it into a space just a few microns wide (the human hair, by comparison, is 40 to 50 microns in diameter) requires some masterful origami-like transformation.
MORE: Don’t Trash These Genes
See the Top 20 Winners of Nikon Small World Microscopic Photography Contest
In the study, Erez Lieberman Aiden, director of the center for genome architecture at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University, and his colleagues describe how DNA performs this shrinking act. It turns out that there is a sequence in the genome—a DNA “word”—that signals when a long string of DNA should turn and form a loop. The end of that loop is signaled by the same word but in reverse, a mirror image of the original. Where these matched-up words appear on the genome determines which genes are exposed in a relatively accessible place and therefore which genes are more active. Loops formed in cells in the heart, for example, will be different from ones generated in skin cells or bone cells.
“We have the same genome in all of our cells, yet cells perform totally different functions,” says Aiden. “That has to do with the fact that different genes are on and off in different cells. How that is managed is in part by the loops of DNA that they form. Think of an origami-like situation—you start with a blank sheet of paper, but whether you can fold that into a hat, plane or crane is a matter of folds. And its function—as a hat, plane or crane—also depends on those folds.”
Not only did Aiden and his colleagues discover the way that loops form, they also conducted experiments to show that they can manipulate where these loops form and potentially change which genes are active and which are silent in specific cells. Conditions like Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, for example, may be partly explained by such abnormalities in the way chromosomes loop. Children born with the condition tend to be larger than their peers and develop larger abdomens due to differences in the way that certain genes inherited from both parents on chromosome 11 are expressed.
These findings hint at the potential of treating such conditions, although more work has to be done to better understand how 3D factors affect genetic diseases. But combining the ability to change DNA sequences in both a linear way, as well as a three-dimensional way, could provide a rich new way of treating certain diseases. “By changing the way the DNA is folded, we can change what the genome is doing,” says Aiden. “We can change the function of a cell. In many cases there are multiple ways of getting a condition, and one of them might be 3D mediated.”

First Lady Michelle Obama is set to appear at the annual American Magazine Media Conference next week with AOL Chief Executive Tim Armstrong and Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel. But those high-profile attendees mask the tough battle the magazine industry is fighting with Facebook.
The social network has usurped the magazine industry’s advertising revenue, L2 founder Scott Galloway told listeners at last week’s DLD Conference. In 2010, U.S. consumer magazines earned $15.3 billion from ads, while Facebook was at a mere $2 billion. Last year, those numbers were completely reversed, with magazines bringing in only $10.8 billion and Facebook $15.9 billion.
Facebook’s ad growth is fueled primarily by mobile, which makes up 78% of the company’s ad revenue, reflecting changing user behavior. In Q3 2015, a majority of users accessed the social platform through a mobile device.
Magazines are trying to outpace that threat by moving to digital. For the industry as a whole, digital advertising revenue will more than double between 2014 and 2019 and account for 37% of total revenue. However, Facebook’s dominance of the mobile advertising space represents a significant challenge. The company controls almost one-fifth of total mobile advertising revenues–second only to Google.
Moreover, Facebook is increasingly positioning itself as a content creator and direct rival to traditional magazines. Most Facebook users get news from the platform, and that percentage is likely to grow as a result of recent offerings like Instant Articles. It’s not impossible to imagine a future where Facebook supplants the magazine business altogether.

On Thursday night, Nicki Minaj stopped by The Late Late Show with James Corden for a chat. And it wasn’t long before the pair started talking about the show’s beloved “Carpool Karaoke” segment.
Three years ago, Adele made headlines when she perfectly rapped to Minaj’s Monster and the rapper was over the moon that Adele was a fan of her music.
“That made my day, my year,” Minaj recounted. “I got a thousand phone calls about that one thing.”
And of course, Cordon saw the perfect opportunity to turn the challenge around and asked Minaj if she could do an impression of the beloved UK singer.
The Trinidad rapper readied herself, and without skipping a beat, she dropped right into Adele’s north London accent. “In order to channel Adele, I sort of have to think like a black lady in London, awright.”
According to Minaj, her usual British accent is that of a “posh white lady”. So for her to really get into “Adele” she gets into the character of a lady who “used to sell crack” and was “hustling nickles and dimes in the hood” before she got her big break.
The audience and Cordon loved Minaj’s expression and even praised her for getting Adele‘s hand mannerisms spot on.

This is an amazing debut novel. I liked it much better than his second one. (You can read my review of The Sinner's Garden here.)
The novel is a bit like the magical realism genre. There is a construction worker, Kenneth, a carpenter, who has supernatural insight and knowledge. He just happens to appear when people need him the most.
The primary plot of the novel involves Brooke, a single mom with a delightful five year old, Alex. She has gotten her life straightened out and lives with a blind pastor and his wife. Alex starts having bloody noses and is diagnosed with leukemia. A subplot deals with doing your job well and facing the results when your best is not enough.
The strength of this novel lies in the graphic way Sirls has shown how people interact with God, or the person representing God, as various events occur. Miracles happen and then there are times when people are praying desperately for a miracle and it does not happen. Kenneth receives the brunt of their praise and their anguish.
The characters in the novel are well crafted. The plot is engaging. The emotions people experience tug at the heart. Sirls has crafted a captivating novel that made me think a great deal about my attitude toward God and how He operates.
I highly recommend this book. It will certainly make you think about the reason behind God's actions. There is a discussion guide included and this thought provoking book would be a good choice for a reading group.
You can find out more about the book and watch a trailer at http://www.williamsirls.com/home/. There will be a movie based on the book releasing in the spring of 2017.
My rating: 5/5 stars.
William Sirls was once a senior vice president at a major investment firm and was incarcerated in 2007 for wire fraud and money laundering. There he learned more lessons than he ever imagined. He is the father of two and lives in southern California.
Broadstreet Publishing, 412 pages.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through The Book Club Network for the purpose of an independent and honest review.

U.S. imposes visa bans on International Criminal Court investigators - Pompeo
By Lesley Wroughton WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will withdraw or deny visas to any International Criminal Court personnel investigating possible war crimes by U.S. forces or allies in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday.
By Lesley Wroughton
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will withdraw or deny visas to any International Criminal Court personnel investigating possible war crimes by U.S. forces or allies in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday.
The court, which sits in The Hague, responded that it was an independent and impartial institution and would continue to do its work "undeterred" by Washington's actions.
The Trump administration threatened in September to ban ICC judges and prosecutors from entering the United States and sanction funds they have there if the court launched a probe of war crimes in Afghanistan.
Washington took the first step on Friday with Pompeo's announcement.
"I'm announcing a policy of U.S. visa restrictions on those individuals directly responsible for any ICC investigation of U.S. personnel," Pompeo told a news conference in Washington.
"These visa restrictions may also be used to deter ICC efforts to pursue allied personnel, including Israelis, without allies' consent."
Pompeo said the policy was already being implemented but would not elaborate, citing visa privacy laws.
"These visa restrictions will not be the end of our efforts," he said. "We're prepared to take additional steps, including economic sanctions, if the ICC does not change its course."
Human Rights Watch called the announcement a "thuggish attempt to penalise investigators" at the court.
"Taking action against those who work for the ICC sends a clear message to torturers and murderers alike: Their crimes may continue unchecked," the group's Washington director, Andrea Prasow, said, calling on U.S. lawmakers to express support for the court.
In November 2017, the ICC prosecutor requested authorization from judges to initiate an investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan since May 1, 2003, including in states where the CIA held prisoners.
Judges are reviewing all material submitted by the prosecutor, and must decide whether or not to authorise an investigation.
With 123 member states, including the entire European Union, the ICC was established in 2002 to prosecute war crimes, genocide or crimes against humanity when a country is unable or unwilling to prosecute perpetrators. Major powers, including the United States, China and Russia, are not members.
A State Department official said the United States would allow court officials to travel for meetings to the United Nations headquarters in New York.
"Under these measures, we will not interfere with travel to the U.N. for official U.N. purposes," the official said. The ICC is not part of the United Nations.

By Robin Emmott and John Irish | BRUSSELS/PARIS BRUSSELS/PARIS France and Germany will agree to a U.S. plan for NATO to take a bigger role in the fight against Islamic militants at a meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday, but insist the move is purely symbolic, four senior European diplomats said.The decision to allow the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to join the coalition against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq follows weeks of pressure on the two allies, who are wary of NATO confronting Russia in Syria and of alienating Arab countries who see NATO as pushing a pro-Western agenda."NATO as an institution will join the coalition," said one senior diplomat involved in the discussions.

BEIJING Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday called for greater efforts to make the country's navy a world class one, strong in operations on, below and above the surface, as it steps up its ability to project power far from its shores.China's navy has taken an increasingly prominent role in recent months, with a rising star admiral taking command, its first aircraft carrier sailing around self-ruled Taiwan and a new aircraft carrier launched last month.With President Donald Trump promising a US shipbuilding spree and unnerving Beijing with his unpredictable approach on hot button issues including Taiwan and the South and East China Seas, China is pushing to narrow the gap with the U.S. Navy.Inspecting navy headquarters, Xi said the navy should "aim for the top ranks in the world", the Defence Ministry said in a statement about his visit."Building a strong and modern navy is an important mark of a top ranking global military," the ministry paraphrased Xi as saying.

The Ultimate Relationship Downer: Marrying A Momma’s Boy
My husband didnâ€™t marry his mother. Not by a long shot. Not by a short stretch of the imagination, even. Get the picture?
For starters, my husbandâ€™s mother and I donâ€™t share the same race. We donâ€™t share the same physical proportions. We donâ€™t share the same philosophies, ideals or first impressions. And, yet, the one thing that we do share is probably the greatest or terrifyingly single, most unifying, thing ever â€“ and that is a love for my husband. (Notice I didnâ€™t say her son, ahem.)
For what itâ€™s worth â€“ and trust me, Iâ€™m smart enough, and respectful enough, to know itâ€™s worth plenty â€“ she had him first, both literally and figuratively. By sheer dint of will or through the beautiful brush strokes of biology, they are, and will forever be, inextricably linked. Nothing says, â€œI own your ass,â€ more than giving birth to an ass. I kid. But seriously, as a mother, I know what it is to feel that immense other-worldly bond that giving birth creates. There is no denying or suppressing it. I wonâ€™t bore you with the details of my version because I have selective memory. And I know that each of us who has given birth, by whatever means, has a unique experience to call our own.
That said, I would postulate that a man who has chosen to marry a woman who is so utterly unlike his mother is a man who has successfully broken any semblance of Oedipal yearning. He is a fully e-man-ci-pated man. And, as it were, a man who has effectively extricated himself from â€œthe clutchesâ€ of his first female love by coming into his own. Pause. Reflect. Continue. Unfamiliar with the Oedipus Rex story? It goes a little something like this: (Socially repressed) son walks into a bar, sees the back of an attractive older woman provocatively nursing a Cosmo, approaches andâ€¦cue music and ensuing family dysfunction!
What it boils down to has a lot to do with making and breaking emotional bonds so that (adult) children donâ€™t become paralyzed with fear at the prospect of disappointing their mommies (or daddies). I know, tall order, right? But hear me out. If as parents we are doing our jobs â€œcorrectlyâ€ â€“Â according to whatever school of thought weâ€™ve been inundated with this week â€“Â it means that we are often too (self) conscious about the kinds of emotional cues we are giving our children. And certainly, what we may or may not do or say has a lot to do with things like how girls feel about their bodies and the partners they eventually choose, for example.
With respect to mothering our sons, it may mean that among other things, we teach them that women are not foreign objects to be falsely admired or playthings to be discarded without care, but as individuals and equals whom they must respect. They also need to know that the girls they may end up loving (if it is girls whom they choose to love) donâ€™t have to be â€œjust like mommyâ€ to be considered good and valuable. (And, yes, of course fathers figure prominently, too, but this post is about mothers and sons.)
At some point, a mother who has not successfully detached herself from her son emotionally becomes a meddlesome mother-in-law whose mission in life is to insinuate herself into her sonâ€™s adult life and relationships. As a result, said MIL acts wounded and jealous when she perceives, god-forbid, that the so-called Hierarchies of Love have shifted. This Mommaâ€™s Boy Momma will inevitably make your life (all about) her life, which means that your husband will likely have to choose for the sake of his life (and sanity).
Now, from where I sit, there is nothing more pathetically tragic than emotional blackmail. And, yeah, letâ€™s just say that in the wise words of Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing, emotionally dysfunctional families are more common than you think. Whatâ€™s important to recognize is that there is a period at which sons â€œneedâ€ their mothers â€“ no, really â€“ and a point at which they donâ€™t. What matters is that both mother and adult son recognize when that point is and act accordingly â€“ and appropriately, for that matter.
Youâ€™ve seen and heard it yourself. And if you havenâ€™t, then permit me to share some observations, which are by no means the panacea.
A â€œMommaâ€™s Boy,â€ a cringe-inducing term if Iâ€™d ever heard one, is likely to make constant, relentless comparisons between you and his momma in practically every facet of your relationship. Now if you happen to be clueless to this sort of emotional red flag, then mark my words, itâ€™s the ultimate relationship downer. If you detect the slightest inkling of this (at any point in your relationship), you need to run, donâ€™t walk, screaming in the other direction. If you havenâ€™t successfully weaned your husband off this annoying tendency, donâ€™t expect it to change â€œwhen you have children.â€ Itâ€™ll only get worse. And then, excuse my French, youâ€™re fucked. Mommaâ€™s Boyâ€™isms and behaviors are not, I repeat, are not self-corrective. If, however, you believe that mothering is innate and instinctual and â€œnatural,â€ then god help you and your children for having a husband who insists that you parent â€œjust like his mom.â€ On the other hand, there is nothing â€œwrongâ€ with a man who worships his mother and fondly recalls her best moments with admiration and affection. In effect, I would hope that he does. Itâ€™s the level of hero-worship Iâ€™m â€œconcernedâ€ with.
A man who is not a Mommaâ€™s Boy is less likely to criticize you or the way you do things because he was never manipulated into believing that his motherâ€™s way is the only way. Rather, he will have learned to appreciate women, and others, as individuals, as opposed to basing everything on how his mother and other women once did certain things for him. Men who are not Mommaâ€™s Boys, and who have chosen to get married and have children, are seemingly more invested in co-parenting â€“Â excluding the workaholics, of course â€“Â than the Mommaâ€™s Boys who were emotionally smothered by their mommies. I would argue that men who are not Mommaâ€™s Boys seem to have a better understanding of relationship balance and are able to give the necessary co-parenting support when needed.
Lastly, beyond the so-called obvious, do we really think that by continuing to lay claims to our childrenâ€™s emotional health, when we as mothers â€œshould know better,â€ we are helping then in later life, anyway? I think not. What do you think?

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – Leaders at Greenville County Soil and Water Conservation District (GCSWCD) launched a virtual series aimed at teaching residents some fun ways to test their soil health.
Conservationists are kicking off the series by partnering with the Greenville County Library System to host the ‘Soil your Undies’ challenge.
The “Soil Your Undies” challenge was created in 2018 by Oregon farmers, working with their local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and NRCS, as a fun way to build public interest in soil health.
For the challenge, attendees will bury a pair of 100 percent cotton undies in their soil — and leave it buried for 60 days to see how the microbes break down the cotton material.
Conservationists at GCSWCD said the healthier the soil —the easier and less expensive it’ll be to manage your land.
“Trying to improve the health of your soil makes land management so much easier. If you have healthy soil you don’t need to use much fertilizer,” Chaneen Haler, stormwater programs coordinator at GCSWCD said, “If you have healthy soil, that means you’ll have dense, beautiful and black soil instead of so much clay.”
The ‘Soil your Undies’ challenge virtual training will happen this Tuesday.

A gamekeeper on a Perthshire estate has been fined after he failed to check a crow cage leading to the death of a buzzard.
Jonathan Graham, 30, failed to carry out a daily inspection of a crow cage trap he was using between September 1, 2010 and February 28, 2011 at the Glen Lyon Estate in Foss, Pitlochry.
As a result, a buzzard starved to death after becoming caught in the trap.
Graham admitted at Perth Sheriff Court on Wednesday of failing to inspect the trap every 24 hours in contravention of section 5(1)(b) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
He was fined £450, reduced from £500 to reflect his guilty plea.
Craig Harris, head of the Crown Office's wildlife and environmental crime unit, said: "Jonathan Graham's failure to inspect a crow cage trap was a gross dereliction of his duties as a gamekeeper. As a result, a buzzard starved to death after becoming caught in the trap. The importance of protecting Scotland's wildlife, including our wild birds, cannot be understated.
"Our wildlife laws exist for this very purpose. I hope this case will discourage others from acting in this way."
A hillwalker reported finding the carcass of the bird in the trap on February 27 last year. Police officers, including a Wildlife Crime Officer, attended at the scene the next day and found the remains of the bird inside the crow trap, which was later confirmed to be a buzzard.

Every professional displayed on Counselling Directory has been independently verified by our team to ensure they have suitable credentials to practise.
We are now working face to face video calling via Vsee, which is available to download free from www.talkingheadstherapy .co.uk. In the Pembrey area, home visits are available as well as practice based appointments.
As an experienced, advanced accredit psychotherapist ,I work with multi models of therapies, including EMDR and Hypnotherapy. Being a senior associate member of the Royal Society of Medicine, my role is to find which types of therapy fits well with my clients. Practising in Tividale, Oldbury, (online only) Pembrey & Burry Port (practice based and home visits), Carmarthenshire, I work with many issues in psychoanalytical, humanistic, cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR, feel free to browse our website for further information. My specialisms are in abuse, trauma, identity disorders, disassociated amnesia, anxiety, stress, depression and suicidal thoughts, phobias, and relationship issues. We offer both weekly and fortnightly appointments, including online video calling therapy for clients who are unable to travel. The advantages of counselling and psychotherapy give us a clear insight to the true essence of ourselves, unhindered by the fast-paced modern environment and the complexity of various relationships.
My work ethic is strong and professional in particular with care of duty towards my clients and the support they need. I am non-judgemental, empathic, very approachable, with a good sense of humour and I feel privileged in my work with clients and all they have taught me over the years, in this ever-changing world. I am a firm believer that clients are often their own experts but are not always aware of this, because we can all become conditioned by the environment, others and what is expected of us in life. It is important to me that the right style and model of therapy is used to help fit clients, because we are all uniquely different.
On a weekly basis, we all focus on the organisation of our work loads, or worry about a lack of work, our family commitments, our recreational time, the running of our households and all that entails but how many of us take time out to organise our mental housekeeping, where we quietly reflect on ourselves and where we are at in life, our fears, desires and personal needs?
By understanding this, we can make a choice, adapt ourselves to a healthier and happier future. The expression “the truth will set you free” is a very apt statement when it comes to counselling and psychotherapy. For many of us, life has not always been kind, in fact, for some of us there has been intense cruelty, where there is little hope for a better future, or even a safe one. By seeking and facing the truth, however painful sometimes, we can change our life’s outcome, helping us to reach and fulfil our potential by understanding and breaking the patterns that keep us partially in chains.

When I work
Tuesday - Friday 8am - 7pm Saturday 9.30am - 12.00pm
On-line counselling has become ever more popular during the last ten years. Modern technology has brought us even more improved services from systems such as Ring.MD, (which is a completely confidential platform for health professionals). Research now shows clear evidence that online counselling has equally beneficial results with practice based counselling and the online trend continues to grow.
Why choose online counselling?
There are several reasons why so many people choose to work on their issues with a counsellor privately on-line, which is protected by strict confidentiality and professional ethics. Sometimes clients connect with a particular therapist who lives outside of their area, whilst others feel uncomfortable attending the therapist’s practice. Whatever the reasons are, many of our clients simply find this means of counselling to be more convenient, as it’s carried out from the comfort of their own homes, without the hassle of travelling to an appointment after a long days work. In fact, during a daytime session you don’t even need to take more than an hour away from your work, as long as you have a private workplace facility.
In turn, we have learnt to carefully observe our client’s facial and vocal expressions towards their inner feelings whilst they are on-line, although some prefer to turn off their web-cam; it is felt important that the therapist gage the expression of your vocal input. The sessions are 50 minutes long, with a 10-minute review of the session at the end.
I use high-speed fibre optic broadband. Initially, as with any other type of counselling, I go online with you for the first session of 1.5 hours - this includes the initial consultation, to determine what your issues are and how I can help. This also gives us a clear indication, as to the quality of your general broadband strength and connectivity in your area. Once we establish that a good communication link is in place, you’ll then be able to book your session through my website's calendar, the book now button throughout the website.

LIVE: Chelsea 3 Manchester United 1 - follow the Premier League action as it happened
Chelsea v Manchester United (4pm)
Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Barclays Premier League as Chelsea hosted Manchester United at Stamford Bridge to conclude Sunday's action.
Following wins for Manchester City and Arsenal on Saturday, the clash saw the Blues hoping to cut the Gunners' lead over them back down to two points, as they aimed to maintain their title challenge from third in the table.
United began the day 14 points off the Premier League summit, and the champions hoped to keep their slim hopes of retaining the title alive with three points at Stamford Bridge.
But a Samuel Eto'o hat-trick all but ended United's hopes of hanging on to their crown after May, as the Blues cruised to a 3-1 win, with Javier Hernandez netting a consolation strike for the visitors who saw skipper Nemanja Vidic sent off.
Well that's it from me this evening. Click on the homepage for all the post-match reaction (and there will be PLENTY of it) but make sure you check back tomorrow for more live coverage as Everton try and move up to fourth with a win at West Brom.
That's all from me - thanks for following.
...but United's reign as champions will surely end in May, and will their place in the Champions League follow with it?
They are 14 points off the title race pace, and are now six points off the top four. Maybe just securing Champions League football will be the new target for United - that and beating Sunderland to reach the League Cup final. How priorities switch in a matter of months.
And so it's as you were at the top of the table - which remains the same as it was coming into the weekend with Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea separated by just two points.
For the Blues, a tough looking test has been overcome in style as they have flexed their title credentials...
90+5min: Well, how has Rafael not been sent off here!? With a wild two-footed studs up lunge on Cahill, the full-back somehow only picks up a booking - that was MUCH worse than the Vidic tackle.
90+2min: And I thought it couldn't get worse for United. Vidic has been given a straight red card for chopping down Hazard with a reckless sliding challenge which was nowhere near the ball.
The defender looks shocked but he has little defence from me, it was a disgraceful challenge.
He will now miss the mid-week Capital One Cup semi-final with Sunderland. Moyes looks about as fed-up as one can on the United bench.
90min: There will be four additional minutes at the Bridge. Time up surely for United and their hopes of retaining the title.
89min: For the second time this half, Smalling gets into a good position on the right side to deliver a first time cross, but on this occasion after finding Hernandez, the Mexican heads straight at Cech.
86min: The feel-good factor is sweeping around the Bridge and there is polite cheers and applause for Matic who replaces Willian to begin his second spell at Chelsea.
83min: Like Swansea against Tottenham earlier, United have found some confidence since pulling a goal back as they try to grab another to make this a nervous final few minutes for Chelsea. Nemanja Matic is warming up for the Blues.
'Despite the United goal, Roman Abramovich must be close to enjoying this, even if he wears his usual vacant expression.
'Not least because his two oligarch signings from Anzhi have been quite superb. Its only two weeks since Chelsea fans at Derby jeered Eto’o from the pitch when he was substituted. Today he gets a standing ovation and loads of high-fives on the bench.'
79min: Immediately Chelsea make a change as Eto'o is applauded off by the home fans to be replaced by Fernando Torres.
78min: Can't say I was expecting this but some hope for United as Welbeck's cut-back for Jones inside the box is fired towards goal, with Javier Hernandez sliding to divert the ball home from close range.
76min: This game is going through the motions on the pitch as Chelsea continue to keep United at arm's length in position, but a few of you United fans already have already started your inquests...
'Lots of fans questioning the defensive tactics of Moyes, or lack of them, rather. Way too many gaps this season in all domestic competitions. That's not a personnel or Glazer problem. It's a Moyes problem.'
David Mnjama, email
'Glazers out banner being hung from the Manchester United end, with £600m reasons why your time is up.'
70min: Nothing is going right for United but they are nearly handed a bizarre route back into the game - twice!
First Gary Cahill's clearance from a cross cannons off Ramires before looping over Petr Cech and just behind for a corner.
Then the Chelsea keeper gets into comedy capers of his own, as he performs an incredibly brave turn to dodge a Hernandez slide - albeit falling to ground as he does it.
Jose Mourinho had his head in his hands as he looked on from a squat position on the touchline.
68min: Mourinho dabs the brakes then, as Oscar makes way for Mikel.
67min: Jose Mourinho looks as calm as I've ever seen him in a big game like this as he prepares to make his first change.
The Chelsea boss shares a few words with John Obi Mikel who is about to come on for the Blues' first switch.
64min: Those substitutes have made little impact for United, as Chelsea sense an opportunity to rub the champions' noses in it.
Still the Blues remain in control and they are having all the ball, all the shots and crucially all the goals.
56min: As Antonio Valencia is booked for a trip on Cesar Azpilicueta, United make a second switch as Javier Hernandez replaces Young.
There are boos for the Mexican from the home fans - who has scored in six of his last nine appearances in all competitions against Chelsea.
'United were out early for the second half, like a team making up for lost time, eager to right a few wrongs but anything Moyes might have said became irrelevant after Eto’o’s third.
'Chelsea have conceded only once in the last six games before this. Since losing at Sunderland in the Capital One Cup, Mourinho has adopted a low-risk strategy and relied upon his creative front four to score the goals. It is working. They do not look like conceding.
'It is impossible to see how United can score enough to get back into the game but they will not give up, it is not in their nature and, as they release more players forward in search of a way back, it means more time and space for Chelsea’s dashing counter-attackers.'
51min: And it just gets worse for United, as Patrice Evra has to limp off to be replaced by Chris Smalling.
A penny for Moyes' thoughts. He would have targeted a fast start to get back into the game, now his side are on the verge of a real hiding.
49min: Hands up, who thought the best days of Samuel Eto'o were long gone? I certainly didn't see him making this sort of impact this afternoon.
But after Gary Cahill's header from a corner is well saved by Dea Gea, the Cameroon striker pounced on the rebound to secure his hat-trick. Joy for Chelsea, crisis for United.
Noticeably, United were out VERY early for the second-half. No changes in personnel but can the champions hit back against Chelsea?
It must be hard for Sir Alex Ferguson to watch his empire seemingly crumble just a few months after leaving his position as United manager, I wonder what he makes of United's first half showing which did show bright spots. As ever he is watching the action from inside the ground.
His deflection led to Samuel Eto'o scoring Chelsea's first goal, but while we wait for the second half why not check out Michael Carrick's positive ball skills as he takes part in a corner challenge? Watch the video below to see how the midfielder gets on.
What a sucker-punch for United at the break. In truth they haven't been as bad as the scoreline suggests but Chelsea have simply taken advantage of some awful defending to race into a 2-0 lead.
For instance, while Eto'o tucked home his second goal, there were SEVEN United players inside the box marking absolutely no one. Work to do for the champions.
45min: It's a 300th career goal for Samuel Eto'o but more importantly he doubles Chelsea's lead on the cusp of half-time.
United fail to deal with a corner and after the ball finds its way back out to Gary Cahill on the right, his low cross into the centre is tucked home by the Cameroon striker.
42min: Hold that thought, Mark, because Chelsea nearly spectacularly double their lead!
A cross from the right finds Oscar, who with a scissors kick, volleys just wide of the target. Is it a little harsh to criticise him for not finding the target given the acrobatics?
'The little girl sitting next to me has fallen asleep. Says it all, really. Snooze-fest'
38min: United have gone quiet since their fast paced start, but have their best chance of the match so far. Januzaj crosses low for Welbeck inside the box, but the striker cannot get the ball out of his feet as he fires a weak effort straight at Petr Cech.
On a separate note, why is boy-hood United fan Beckham sitting in the box of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich?
35min: It's a first half which has been notable for a few robust challenges rather than flowing football, and now United see their first booking after Young cynically pulls down Ramires to stop a Chelsea counter attack.
'Mourinho anxious to get a message onto David Luiz.
It is clear from the hand signs, the manager wants Luiz to calm down, stop chasing around the pitch trying to prove what an accomplished footballer he can be and sit in front of the centre-halves and do his job. Luiz gives him a nod and a thumbs up.'
29min: Half-chance but no more for United as Patrice Evra crashes a near post shot into the outside of the side-netting from the edge of the box.
From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Stamford Bridge:
'On the subject of David Luiz, it didn't take long. Mourinho has just gone crazy at him for straying out of position and then refusing to make a run to track back when Evra bounded through before hitting the side netting.'
26min: I'm not certain Luiz is going to last 90 minutes the way he is going so far. Already booked, the Brazilian makes a blatant body check on Rafael who tried to take on the defender. No action is taken from Phil Dowd apart from awarding United a free-kick.
'Perhaps the biggest surprise of Mourinho’s team selection was his decision to start with Eto’o up front. Torres has looked so bright in recent weeks and scored on his last two starts.
'Torres, perhaps to his own detriment, has given the team an extra gear from the bench when he has come on. Either way, it looks like a good decision after that goal, even if it was almost entirely down to the deflection.'
20min: Moyes is furious with David Luiz who is booked for jumping into Valencia on the touchline and sending him crashing to the ground and into the advertising hoardings.
A challenge very much out of the Gary Wackett book of defending for those of you who have seen the film 'Mike Bassett:England Manager.'
On the ball though he is a little better...
From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Stamford Bridge:
'David Luiz so disciplined these days. When he releases the ball in advanced midfield areas he now shuttles straight back into his role in front of the back four. But how long can it last...'
17min: Chelsea have done precious little on the ball but against the run of play snatch the lead!
Samuel Eto'o easily turns Phil Jones on the corner of the box, before he advances along the 18-yard-box by a couple of yards and curls across goal and into the top corner via a Michael Carrick deflection.
15min: Finally something for the home fans to get (a little) excited about, as Willian's long range effort deflects behind for a corner. Expectation soon fades though as United clear the set-piece.
'David Moyes we want you to stay' sing Chelsea fans, in response to United singing 'Jose Mourinho, you wanted this job.' Entertaining stuff.'
From Sportsmail's Matt Barlow at Stamford Bridge:
'United fans taunt JM by singing: 'Jose Mourinho, he wanted your job.' Jose responds with a little wave. Chelsea fans sing: 'David Moyes, we want you to stay.'
9min: We've still seen very little from the hosts whose only contribution so far has seen David Luiz clumsily bundle over Phil Jones. referee Phil Dowd calms the situation as United still dominate.
'Mourinho up on his feet scribbling notes as United start well. Moyes straight into the ear of fourth official Lee Probert.
'United fans unfurl their banner: '600m reasons your time is up. Glazers out now.'
Plenty of famous faces have joined Pietersen for this clash - with former United midfielder David Beckham and Holland boss Louis van Gaal inside the Bridge.
6min: This is a very impressive start from United - Chelsea cannot get out of their own half as Antonio Valencia turns inside the Blues box, before the hosts scramble clear for a corner.
3min: Wow, United come racing out the blocks as Petr Cech is immediately called into action to deny a shot from Ashley Young inside the box. It's a smart stop but the United winger should probably have scored there.

Out come the players at Stamford Bridge underneath some winter sunshine, as England cricket batsman Kevin Pietersen looks on.
The Blues will hope their star fan has left his bad luck, which saw England suffer a humiliating 5-0 defeat in the Ashes, back down under in Australia.
Legends galore at Chelsea before kick-off as Peter Bonetti and Ron 'Chopper' Harris present Frank Lampard and John Terry with plaques to welcome them to Chelsea's '600 club' to mark the milestone appearances in their Blues careers.
'Getting Phil Jones and Ashley Young back is important for us. We are here to try and win it. We've picked a team we think we can do it.
'We've worked on trying to stop Chelsea's midfield, games like this, it's more than three points if you get it - but of course it's all you can get.'
Just to clear up Moyes' confusing last sentence, he was referring to how a win would provide a huge psychological boost for the visitors - as you were...
Quite when these 'half-team' scarves became popular outside European games is beyond me, but they are everywhere now, including for today's clash at the Bridge.
Can't imagine too many die-hard Chelsea fans or United supporters picking one up though...
Branislav Ivanovic makes an earlier than expected return from a knee injury and Ashley Cole drops to the bench as Chelsea made two changes for the crunch Premier League clash at home to Manchester United.
Samuel Eto'o is preferred to Fernando Torres up front while a defensive reshuffle following the win at Hull sees Ivanovic start at right-back.
Cesar Azpilicueta shifts to left-back and Cole is named as a substitute alongside fit-again Frank Lampard and his fellow midfielder Nemanja Matic, the midweek signing from Benfica.
United began the day 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal in seventh place and manager David Moyes makes three changes following the win over Swansea, with Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Ashley Young replacing Chris Smalling, Darren Fletcher and Shinji Kagawa.
'Jose Mourinho has named £21million re-signing Nemanja Matic among his substitutes. The last Premier League appearance for Matic was as a Chelsea sub in an 8-0 win against Wigan.
'His only other appearance in the competition was in a 4-0 win against Wolves. His only appearance for Chelsea was a 5-0 win in the FA Cup against Watford.
'He has played a total of 65 minutes in three games for the club and won those games by an aggregate of 17-0. If all else fails, Mourinho has acquired a lucky mascot.'
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Luiz, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o.
Subs: Schwarzer, Cole, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Mikel, Matic.
Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Jones, Carrick, Valencia, Januzaj, Young, Welbeck.
Subs: Lindegaard, Giggs, Smalling, Hernandez, Cleverley, Fletcher, Kagawa.
Referee: Phil Dowd (Staffordshire)
Blimey, that’s an impressive Chelsea bench: Schwarzer, Cole, Mikel, Matic, Lampard, Mata, Torres.
A victory for Jose Mourinho will see him become only the 15th boss to record a century of Premier League wins.
However, perhaps United shouldn't be too worried.
The Red Devils are 18th on Jose’s list of favourite opponents.
David Moyes has never won an away Premier League match as a manager against any of the traditional top four. The Scot averages just 0.38 points per game.
De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Jones, Carrick, Valencia, Januzaj, Young, Welbeck.
Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Ramires, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o.
The teams will be announced shortly but Sportsmail's Neil Ashton believes Ashley Cole has been omitted from the starting line-up. The left back is set to be replaced by Spaniard Cesar Azpilicueta.
Ivanovic should also return while Samuel Eto'o comes in for Fernando Torres.
Expected Chelsea team: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Ramires, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o.

DUMAGUETE CITY – The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in Negros Oriental on Monday said it has reached 94.8 percent of its target in the national identification program list-up for this year.
Engr. Ariel Fortuito, PSA-Negros Oriental provincial chief, told the Philippine News Agency that as of November 27, the total Step 2 output for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) was at 809,807.
The PSA’s 2021 target for Negros Oriental is 854,257.
Fortuito is optimistic the remaining 44,450 can be reached even before the end of the year.
The three areas in the province with the most number of registrants are Dumaguete City (81,604); Bayawan City (68,834); and Guihulngan City (62,252).
Signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in August 2018, Republic Act 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, aims to establish a single national ID for all Filipinos and resident aliens.
The national ID will be a valid proof of identity that shall be a means of simplifying public and private transactions, enrollment in schools, and the opening of bank accounts.
It will also boost efficiency, especially in dealing with government services where people will only need to present one ID during transactions. (PNA)

Yesterday, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Fairfax County School Board held a joint meeting to discuss ways to collaborate on initiatives related to climate, energy and the environment. Resulting from this meeting, a joint committee will be formed called the Joint Environmental Task Force (JET). Similar to the organizational model set forth by the Fairfax County Successful Children and Youth Policy Team (SCYPT) Committee, members of both the Board of Supervisors and the School Board will serve on this committee.
“Both Boards have a desire to move forward on a number of environmental fronts, and this joint committee will help us identify and focus our priorities,” Chairman Sharon Bulova said. “Environmental issues intersect with many aspects of community life and require a ‘One Fairfax’ lens in order to address comprehensively. I am pleased with this collaborative approach and look forward to innovative and visionary ideas stemming from this committee.”
“Our community is aware of the urgency needed to deal with climate change, and the establishment of this committee puts that issue front and center for Fairfax County,” said School Board Chair Karen Corbett Sanders. “With both FCPS and the County at the table, we can address these critical issues holistically, keeping the health and well-being of our young people front and center of our work to ensure we address the need for environmental sustainability.”
The JET committee will have its first meeting in the coming weeks and is projected to be in place indefinitely.

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–September 11, 2013. Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth (IL-08) released the following statement on the anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001.
“We must remember those who lost their lives and sacrificed so much on September 11, 2001. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the hijacking of Flight 93 were not only horrifying but also a reminder of the challenges we face as a free nation. We must also remember those who showed enormous resilience and courage. Whether it was the firefighters and police running into the World Trade Center, the heroes of Flight 93 or the American people standing together as one, our response to 9/11 truly reflected the American spirit. Today, let us honor the victims of September 11 by recommitting ourselves to the values of freedom, democracy and diversity that make our country great.”

Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front leader Robert Mugabe holds all the cards. He is looking good to win the coming elections. And if he does have to cheat, he doesn’t have to cheat by all that much.
This is hardly any revelation. We are talking about Zimbabwe, and one of Africa’s longest serving leaders, so says an online South African daily, the Daily Maverick.
The Maverick says this is meant to be Tsvangirai’s turn. “He has patiently suffered through the government of national unity, waiting for his opportunity to right the electoral injustice that was the 2008 poll…..all factors meant to play into his hands, given that by now, surely, enough Zimbabweans have had enough of Mugabe.”
But “once again, somehow, Mugabe holds all the cards. There’s a reason why he’s lasted in power so long – and why he’s still got a little while to go”.
“What we should really be worried about is that, even if they are as flawed as Tsvangirai thinks they will be, the elections might still pass the regional test of fairness and transparency, making Mugabe a democratically-elected president once again.
“For this possibility, SADC has only itself to blame. Rewind to December 2011, to the just-concluded elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This was far from a model vote. A range of international observers were watching, and uncovered a long list of offences:
- evidence of vote tampering;
- impossibly high rates of voter turnout in places known to be loyal to the president;
- strangely low turnouts in opposition areas;
- the mysterious disappearance of 2 000 polling station results in Kinshasa; and
- violence in the run-up during the campaign which killed 18 people, mostly committed by incumbent Joseph Kabila’s presidential guard.
“And yet, SADC, along with the African Union and three other African observer missions, declared that the elections were “successful”, duly confirming that the organisation’s standards of fairness and transparency are very low indeed; and sending a message to other leaders, like Robert Mugabe, that there’s a fair amount of electoral mischief that they can get away with before the regional body will call them out on it.
“And if Mugabe is called out, he’s well within his rights to label point out SADC’s hypocrisy – and ignore their verdict.”

Demand for promoting better intra-local trading keeps stayed quite refined nowadays
Product costs for many leading exports throughout the region will likely remain depressed (Appendix D)
The newest Southern Pacific Discussion board Secretariat stands happy to enjoy a matching role of this type however,, used, much better emphasis is given to help you generating stronger change backlinks that have the big industrial locations where possibility trading expansion was far higher.
Service areas are significant resources of foreign exchange earnings having of many Pacific area places. Such affairs is actually dominated because of the tourist in the event international tax haven establishment are very important in some nations. For almost all, or even for all of them area places, tourism represents one of the better prospects to have reaching economic progress and variation. Particularly candidates are derived from an usually favourable business frame of mind for tourist extension in addition to the of several beneficial possess that the majority of Pacific island places have to give, also interesting societies, the latest natural beauty from islands, the availability of room and you will seemingly unspoilt pure surroundings.
The main types of visitors is the All of us, Australian continent, Europe, Brand new Zealand and Japan
Almost all Pacific isle countries make jobs to boost tourist in order to understand their innovation possible.

For the Fiji, the brand new Create Countries and you will French Polynesia, tourism has provided a significant momentum to own growth therefore positions one of many top a couple of marketplace.
Of several Pacific island regions, also Fiji, Papua The Guinea, Western Samoa and Tonga, had been cautious in their method to tourism innovation.

He has been already dependent on the necessity to end tourist approaches one encompass breaking the natural environment. Innovation procedures considering eco-tourist have evoked considerable focus of these regions recently.
Particularly one of many quicker regions, much remains to be done to overcome current limitations and realize the growth possible with the globe.

The brand new lowering of brand new proper need for brand new Southern Pacific part with the prevent out of awesome electricity rivalries ensures that this new Pacific isle regions would have to deal with much harder conditions within the starting revenue hyperlinks, if you find yourself for many different explanations, some of the traditional issues provided by these isle countries will be facing a lot more rigorous internationally race (Elek 1994).
