Rory McIlroy's eventful season has taken yet another twist after medics informed him he may have contracted Dengue fever.
The 22-year-old will visit the doctor this evening following blood tests which showed the reason for the fatigue which could ruin his hopes of winning his first Order of Merit title.
After shooting a 71 in a second round which saw him bogey the final two holes, McIlroy revealed he had been told his "platelet count and my white blood cell count are low". This made his doctor suspect the tropical disease which is carried by mosquitoes and which McIlroy probably picked up in the Far East last month. The infection can be life-threatening.
"The doctor said it was a mild case, or it could have been food poisoning or been bacterial," said McIlroy. "Whatever it is, I don't have it any more; it's just the lasting effects. My immune system is down and my body is taking more time to recover than it usually would."
McIlroy is clearly desperate to put away his sticks and the good people of Thailand should resign themselves to be missing his superstar presence at their national championship next week. In the summer, McIlroy signed a deal to play in Bangkok for a sum believed to be in excess of £300,000 and since then the anticipation levels over there have been rising.
"To be honest I am ready for the season to be done," said the Ulsterman, who is on his 11th week away from Northern Ireland. So with two days left of the golfing year which changed his life the urgency is obvious. What will it take to stage the perfect finale and leave with the near £1m Race to Dubai jackpot? After yesterday, plenty.
After all, Luke Donald has a big hitter in his corner. Indeed, in Alvaro Quiros he not only has the Sonny Liston of golf, but a Spaniard who quite fancies delivering a knockout blow to young McIlroy's chance.
The Ulsterman needs to win to have any chance of overhauling Donald and, despite sharing the lead with four holes of his second round remaining, he signed off last night five off Quiros's pace. That had plenty to do with McIlroy's four-six finish and Quiros closing out three-three-three, with an eagle on the par-five 18th. The 64 equalled the course record, and its quality was further highlighted by the fact it was two shots better than any other round yesterday. Quiros is a slugger by rhythm and by nature.
"Rory and Luke are not the only two players in the tournament," said Quiros, looking for a Dubai double after winning the Desert Classic in February. "The rest of us are trying to spoil the party. This is good otherwise the competition would not be as stiff."
There may even be a touch of revenge in his gatecrashing. Last week in Hong Kong, Quiros entered the last round three clear of McIlroy – and ended up losing by five.
With Donald hurtling up to tied 12th with three finishing birdies to close, McIlroy's hopes do not seem as tantalising as they did after his first-round 66. "I have an uphill battle," he said after four birdies and three bogeys left him on seven-under, in a tie for third. "But it is still possible. I just have to bide my time."
In truth, he could produce heroics to peg back Quiros, the longest driver on the European Tour, and still concede the Harry Vardon Trophy to Donald. The manner in which the Englishman strode into the clubhouse suggested a champion who has worked out the route to victory. On Thursday night he contacted his long-time coach Pat Goss who had noticed on the coverage, the speed of his pupil's swing in a disappointing 72 which featured him taking unplayables on two consecutive holes.
"I was getting a little bit rushed, starting the swing with my legs too much and not being patient enough," said Donald. "It was still a struggle today ... but in terms of my mental approach for the next couple of days I think those birdies at the end were huge."
At last the putts consented to behave as they have all season for Donald. Two 15-footers and a 10-footer bolstered his confidence. "It was nice to find a little touch on the greens," said the 34-year-old. "That will be key this weekend. I would say there is nervous excitement. I'm looking forward to it, but it's going to be a tough challenge."
Donald is determined to ensure his own destiny. "It would be foolish of me to rely on Rory not winning," said the world No 1. "I know what's at stake. It's a big deal to me. I will use those nerves to my advantage."

Despite the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, China’s industrial sector is showing signs of recovery.
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is divided on when to raise interest rates, according to the minutes from its July meeting. Inflation in Japan has remained above the BOJ’s 2% target for 15 consecutive months, prompting differing opinions among board members. One member emphasized the need to maintain the current negative interest rate policy and yield curve control framework, while another member suggested that the 2% inflation target is within reach and could be achieved early next year. The BOJ’s decision on interest rates will have crucial implications for the Japanese economy.

Over 10 million viewers tuned in to this week’s episode, “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree,” to discover the Magic Mirror’s origins and see where Sydney Glass’ true allegiance lies.
Fairytale Land: “I should never have made that wish.”
King Leopold stumbles upon a magic lamp and unleashes a downtrodden Genie (aka the Man in the Magic Mirror). The genie grants him three wishes, but the kind-hearted king has everything he wants so he uses his first wish to the give the Genie what he deeply desires – his freedom. The King then generously uses his second wish to transfer his third wish over to Genie. He is grateful for his freedom, but explains that he will not use his wish because in all of the 1001 wishes he has granted, all of them have ended poorly and all of them come with price (sound familiar?). Besides, what Genie wants most is to find true love and as we learned from Aladdin, you can’t wish for true love because it has to happen organically. Cut to Genie’s introduction to Queen Regina and it is love at first sight.
Later that night in the King’s court, King Leopold gushes over his beloved Snow White, saying how she is the fairest of them all, just like her mother was. Crushed Queen Regina leaves the room to seek comfort by the apple tree that was brought over from her mother’s garden and Genie is quick to console her. The two are kindred spirits, for both know how it feels to live a cruelly confined existence. Genie gives her a mirror, so that she can see herself through his loving eyes. Unfortunately, that ends up being a huge mistake.
King Leopold finds the mirror and an entry in the Queen’s diary alluding to their blossoming love affair and he asks Genie to seek out the man behind the mirror. While Genie waits for the Queen, her father approaches him with a box to take to her room, in it is the only thing that can set her free. Genie rushes to Queen Regina’s side and she opens the box to reveal a double-headed poisonous viper from his homeland. She reaches inside to commit suicide, but he stops her and declares that he shall kill the King instead so that they may be together.
Genie creeps into King Leopold’s room while he is sleeping, thanks him for his kindness, then unleashes the vipers. With his dying breathe the king confesses his regret for that wish. Genie then returns to his beloved Queen only to be disappointed because she set him up. She says he should be thankful that she is even giving him a chance to escape before the guards capture him, but he refuses to leave. Instead, he uses his one wish to be with the Queen forever and thus he becomes trapped in her mirror.
Storybrooke: “Sometimes doing a bad thing for a good reason is okay.”
As Henry digs up his book from its hiding place under the crumbling castle where Henry and Emma have their secret pow-wows, Regina appears and sneers at Emma for allowing her son to play in such a hazardous environment. She tells Henry to get in the car and he doesn’t have a chance to move his book to a safer spot. The next day, Regina tears down Henry’s fortress and he discovers that the book is missing. This pushes Emma over the edge and she agrees to work with Sydney on knocking Regina off of her mayoral pedestal.
Sydney discovered that Regina has stolen $50,000 from the city and Emma, being a bounty-hunter and all, can use her cunning means to unfold Regina’s endgame. Emma hesitates to play dirty, but Sydney justifies it by saying that sometimes it is okay to do a bad thing if it is for a good reason. This is where we get a snippet of how Mary Margaret feels about her affair; she has just come from a romantic picnic with David at “their” spot by the toll bridge. Although she feels guilty for having an affair with a married man, she uses Sydney’s logic to justify their actions because their love for each other feels right. Nonetheless, Emma insists on giving Regina one fair chance to come clean before sinking to her level.
Regina lies to Emma and Sydney, so she plants a bug in the mayor’s office. They overhear a conversation about a money hand-off and drive off to catch her secret rendezvous. Unfortunately, Emma’s car breaks have been cut and they crash into the woods to find Mr. Gold. Turns out Regina bought his land, so Emma and Sydney break into Regina’s office to steal the blueprints and related files. While going over the evidence, Emma feels guilty for breaking her promise to Henry and stooping to Regina’s level, but Sydney reassures her that what she is doing is necessary because Regina always destroys what people loves most and she must be stopped.
While Emma and Sydney head off to expose Regina at the City Council meeting, we get to check back in on Henry’s quest. He hasn’t found his book, so he is in the diner frantically sketching every story he can remember when the Stranger pokes his nose into Henry’s business. When he asks what the book is about, Henry cryptically replies “stuff,” so Mr. Stranger coyly smiles, wishes the kid luck on his “stuff” and leaves. Back at City Hall, Emma calls Regina a selfish thug and reveals her plans to build a lavish palace for herself in the woods. Regina displays the plans on a projector and says she is building a playhouse for the kids, leaving Emma speechless. After the meeting, Regina threatens to issue Emma a restraining order if she doesn’t stay away from Henry.
Emma explains to Henry via their walkie-talkies that they must be apart for a while, but she promises to find his storybook. Cue the big reveal we’ve been waiting for – Mr. Writer Stranger has Henry’s book! But, that is not the only twist this week. The episode concludes with Regina thanking Sydney for his excellent work on gaining Emma’s trust because now they will know everything she will be up to.
- Emma comes across a ring of suspicious skeleton keys like the one that opened the viper box, so it makes you think just how many tricks does Regina have up her sleeve.
- Awesome transitions from Storybrook to Fairytale, especially with the mirrors.
- Mr. Gold continues to offer to be Emma’s ally, but she refuses and plays right into Regina’s hands. Mr. Gold is a bad guy too, but it makes you wonder if Emma would be better off accepting his help sometimes.
- Richard Schiff’s King Leopold is so sweet; you can see where Snow gets her kindness from. Hopefully we will see more of him this season because there was not enough father-daughter time in this episode.
- Giancarlo Esposito gave a superb performance this week as the Genie and Sydney.
The twists were predictable this week. For those of you who have been putting the pieces of the puzzle together as ABC has dropped hints throughout the season, it may not have come as such a huge surprise to learn that the Magic Mirror was once a Genie and that Sydney is always loyal to Regina. Not to mention, that the mysterious writer is there for the storybook. To be honest, it was a little disappointing, given how awesome the show is every week.

Leicester legend Lineker keeps promise to host TV show in underwear
Premier League fans were treated to a famous spectacle on the opening day of the 2016-17 season, as former Leicester City and England star Gary Lineker kept his promise to appear on live television in his underwear.
The 55-year-old, who hosts highlights programme Match of the Day on the BBC, pledged last December that he would appear on the first show "in just my undies" if Leicester won the title.
Claudio Ranieri's side went on to seal an astonishing league triumph by 10 points, and Lineker, true to his word, hosted Saturday's show in nothing but a pair of white club-branded boxer shorts.
Some viewers were quick to point out that the decision to wear shorts did not quite fulfil the promise, though others were keen to praise both Lineker and the broadcaster for sticking to their guns.
"It is a one off and a sporting miracle that has landed me in my underwear," said Lineker, who scored 95 goals in 194 appearances for Leicester.
"When I tweeted that silly bet back in December, I categorically knew there was zero chance of Leicester winning the league. Zero chance. It happened but it was magical, it was great."
Leicester's title defence began with a 2-1 defeat to Hull City.

The better to hear you with, my dear- replies the cunning wolf dressed as an elderly woman he had, only moments before, gobbled up like Grandma Pot Pie.
Now I present music, for your ears, that I've only just heard for the first time over the weekend and have consequently fallen deeply in-love with it all.
First a band on the RISE!: Carney
Walking into the House of Blues in downtown New Orleans, I'm taken aback by a sound. What sound?! You may be asking yourself. Well let me just tell you, it was the sound of Reeve Carney belting out his eerily hypnotizing melodies into the dim but unusually clear atmosphere of one of New Orleans's most diverse venues. On this very stage stood (well more like gyrated) Lady Gaga; where Rachel Vette and her band of brothers rocked out with their socks out- straight from the west bank for our viewing and hearing pleasure. Although all these thoughts may not have surfaced to the front of my consciousness, I was aware that this sound was joining the likes of my favorites. This voice was going to stay with me forever. All this before I ever saw their faces. Even before I watched them sway from side to side, pulled by the release of some inner energy- an aural soul...
Not only is their sound so incredibly a 60's, acid trip, take-a-chill-pill, extravaganza of harmonics-to top it all off: They are all GORGEOUS! Lead by 2 brothers Reeve and Zane Carney. This family's got it all. Check em out!! They're on tour now with The Veronica's. Honestly if given the opportunity I would see them again.
Next is Flow Tribe: a rare acoustic performance that left me speechless.

Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth, Vascular Malformations, and Epidermal Nevi, also known as cloves syndrome, is related to hypomelanosis of ito and capillary hemangioma, and has symptoms including angina pectoris, back pain and chest pain. An important gene associated with Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth, Vascular Malformations, and Epidermal Nevi is PIK3CA (Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Alpha), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Innate Immune System and Signal Transduction. The drugs Miconazole and Clotrimazole have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, bone and kidney, and related phenotypes are hemihypertrophy and tethered cord
Major Symptoms of Nevus
Nevus is a type of skin condition that typically appears as a birthmark or a spot on the skin. Some of the major symptoms include itching, scaling, and the appearance of the lesion itself.
Suitable Lifestyle for People with Nevus
Nevus is a rare skin disease that usually does not pose a serious threat to health. However, if a Nevus patient seeks lifestyle advice, here are a few things to consider:
1. Avoid direct sunlight: Nevus patients’ skin is easily irritated by the sun, so prolonged exposure to the sun when the sun is strong should be avoided, especially during Hot summer.
2. Pay attention to skin care: Keeping the skin clean and moisturized can help reduce Nevus symptoms. It is recommended to use mild facial cleansers and moisturizers and avoid cosmetics that may irritate the skin.
3. Eat a healthy diet: A balanced diet and proper exercise can help strengthen your immune system. Patients with Nevus should avoid foods that may cause skin inflammation or allergies, such as spicy foods, coffee, chocolate, etc.
4. Maintain mental balance: Stress and anxiety may worsen Nevus symptoms. Therefore, maintaining a good mental balance and ways to cope with stress can help relieve symptoms.
5. Follow the doctor's recommendations: If Nevus patients have been diagnosed, it is recommended to follow the doctor's treatment recommendations and review them regularly. At the same time, Nevus patients should maintain good communication with their doctors, promptly report changes in symptoms and seek help.

Benjamin Bratt: 'La Mission' Is 'a Family Affair'
Actor Benjamin Bratt made his new drama "La Mission" a real family affair - he stars alongside his wife in a film written and directed by his brother. The former "Law & Order" star's older brother Peter penned the script for the hard-hitting movie, about a father who struggles to come to terms with the fact his son is homosexual.
The Bratts shot "La Mission" in their native San Francisco, California and even recruited some old pals as extras while filming in the Mission District. Benjamin tells People magazine, "It's a place that's been our backyard since we were born. It was very much like a block party."
Peter Bratt adds, "A lot of friends we grew up with did cameos. It was a family affair." Benjamin enjoyed working alongside his actress wife Talisa Soto, but admits he struggled a little with her role, revealing "(It was) incredible. The only difficulty was that she was playing someone else's wife!"

Dmitry Kuleba. photo: wikipedia
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on Saturday that China did not raise the issue of territorial concessions from Kyiv to Moscow. Kuleyua said this in a statement published on the social network.
According to him, China's special representative for the Eurasian region Li Hui did not offer European leaders to persuade Kiev to leave the territories acquired by Moscow after the beginning of the NWO. Kuleba said that after the relevant “rumors” appeared, he contacted European partners and they assured him that no such issue had been raised.
He urged citizens not to trust information coming from anonymous sources, stressing that no of partners Ukraine will not prepare a secret plan against Kiev.
Earlier, The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed Western officials, reported that Li Hui asked EU leaders to convince Kiev to recognize the territories annexed during the NWO as part of Russia. According to a spokesperson for the publication, China's special envoy was informed that freezing the Ukrainian conflict would not be in the interest of the international community until the Russian Federation withdraws its troops from Ukraine.
Decision. to appoint a special envoy for solving the Ukrainian crisis was announced after the results of the talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It was also reported that Li Hui went on a tour for this purpose – to Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany and Russia.

The Department of Energy (DOE) in the Philippines signed an agreement with the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST) on 16 March, 2018 for the use of a
Filipino-made software to enhance the capacity of all stakeholders in
earthquake readiness and improve the energy sector’s resiliency.
Philippines is highly vulnerable to natural calamities,
experiencing an average of 20 typhoons per year, flash floods, storm surges,
earthquakes and landslides. The magnitude 6.5-earthquake that hit Visayas last
year, affecting electricity supply delivery in Leyte, Samar and Bohol, revealed
the vulnerability of the country’s energy systems to earthquakes.
The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entitled “Capacity Enhancement of the Energy Sector
on Hazard, Risk Assessment and Exposure Database Development Through the Use of
the Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS)
Software” was signed by DOE Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi and DOST
Undersecretary Renato Solidum Jr., and witnessed by DOE Undersecretary Jesus
Cristino Posadas and DOST- Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS) Associate Scientist Dr. Maria Leonila Bautista.
The MOA outlines the development of database on hazard, risk
assessment and exposure to earthquake through the use of the DOST-PHIVOLCS’
REDAS software. The software can be used as a tool for emergency preparedness,
contingency planning and mainstreaming disaster risk reduction.
REDAS is a hazard and risk-simulation software, that
produces risk maps immediately after the occurrence of a strong, potentially damaging
earthquake. It will be helpful in providing quick and near-real-time
simulated earthquake hazard information to disaster managers. The managers can
then use this information to assess the distribution and extent of the impact
on people and assets of a strong earthquake.
The data generated could also provide information and
insights enablign better resource management and asset resiliency.
REDAS can be used to compute ground-shaking,
earthquake-induced landslides, liquefaction and also tsunamis. Other
capabilities of the tool include earthquake sorting capability, generating
seismicity maps, onscreen map digitisation and building of database on
earthquake hazard risks, as well as wind hazards.
As part of the MOA, DOE and PHIVOLCS would pursue training for
the REDAS software and share knowledge and resources for the implementation of
The partnership between the DOE and DOST-PHIVOLCS supports
President Rodrigo Duterte’s directive to ensure disaster resilience and it is in
line with the recently
signed Department Circular No. 2018-01- 0001 or the “Adoption of Energy
Resiliency in the Planning and Programming of the Energy Sector to Mitigate
Potential Impacts of Disasters”, also known as the Energy Resiliency Policy.
The Energy Resiliency Policy aims to unify the energy sector
in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in its plans, programs and activities.
The policy seeks to institutionalise disaster resilience in the energy sector through
the strengthening of energy systems and facilities, and enabling quick
restoration and provision of an alternative power source that will alleviate
consumer conditions during emergencies and disasters.
DOE Secretary Cusi said, “It is the mandate of the DOE to
ensure that energy services will be available to everyone immediately after an
emergency situation. We need all available tools and technologies to enhance
our resiliency planning and implementation,”
“Because of this
partnership with PHIVOLCS, more collaborative efforts within the energy sector
will result and in the end, it will make the country more competitive,” Secretary

Health-care reform might stand a chance
Things are looking up for substantive reform of America's troubled health-care system.
No one who knows the history of such efforts, from Harry Truman's administration through Bill Clinton's, needs to be reminded of the difficulties that inevitably confront any plan to overhaul one-seventh of the U.S. economy and bring quality medicine to millions of the uninsured.
But developments at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue last week - and across the country - pointed up both the urgency of the problem and the prospects for seeing significant action.
When Barack Obama's transition team let out word that former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle would be his choice to run the Department of Health and Human Services and quarterback his work on health reform, it signaled that Obama is serious about his campaign promise to make that issue a first-term priority.
Daschle would not leave a lucrative job at a law firm to twiddle his thumbs. Only with a clear understanding that the new president will put his own political capital at risk in this cause would the South Dakotan sign up for the job.
Daschle can be of great help to Obama in achieving the goal. He has made his own in-depth study of health-care issues and brings a genuine passion to the subject. And he knows the Senate, where past efforts have foundered.
But there are positive signs within the Senate as well. Max Baucus of Montana, the chairman of the Finance Committee, one of the two main centers of Senate action, moved first by releasing a detailed outline of his preferred piece of legislation. Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, the chairman of the other committee of jurisdiction - Health, Education, Labor and Pensions - quickly asserted his right to be at the center of action. He organized three task forces within his committee and reached out to Baucus to suggest that their staffs start exchanging ideas as well.
One issue that could have clouded House prospects was resolved when the Democratic caucus voted to make Henry Waxman of California the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, replacing John Dingell of Michigan. Both are skilled legislators; Waxman is closer to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
A fast start is important because it takes untold hours to work through all the complex issues involved in comprehensive health care. When Bill Clinton delayed in getting Hillary Clinton's legislative proposal up to Capitol Hill until the end of 1993, his first year in office, he made it much easier for opponents to throw up roadblocks.
The architects of the Clintons' defeat were Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole, then the leaders of GOP forces in the House and Senate. Gingrich has now become an advocate for systemic change in the way health care is financed and delivered. His approach differs from Obama's, but it starts from the same premise: The current system is too wasteful and unproductive to be sustained.
And Dole, who in 1994 moved belatedly to opposing the Clinton effort as his own presidential ambitions rose, told me in an interview last week that today's circumstances make a repetition of those scorched-earth Republican tactics inappropriate. Instead, he is reminding Republicans of his own contributions to bipartisan successes - the 1983 Social Security rescue and the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990.
Dole and Daschle have both worked for the firm of Alston and Bird for the past few years, and it would not surprise me if Dole finds ways to be helpful to Daschle and Obama in the coming fight.
Some have argued that Obama will be forced to delay his promised effort at health-care reform, either because of the urgency of the economic problems facing the country or because there will be no money in the budget to pay for such an enterprise.
But every indication is that he will not wait. Indeed, he could well argue that the current plight of the Big Three automakers stems, in part, from the burden Ford, General Motors and Chrysler are carrying for the failures of our employer-based health-care system. One of their basic competitive disadvantages stems from the fact that Japanese and other foreign carmakers are operating in countries where the government and society as a whole pay the costs of health care, not individual companies.
No question, it will still be a tough fight. But you can see the possibility of success.

Graham Potter is offered the Chelsea job and is likely to be in the dugout with his Brighton staff at Fulham on Saturday… as late-night talks with Todd Boehly persuade the American to pay his £12m release clause
- Chelsea sensationally sacked head coach Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday
- The club have been given permission to speak to Brighton boss Graham Potter
- Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane are also in the mix for the position
- Assistant Billy Reid could be among staff members Potter brings to Chelsea
- Follow all of the reaction to Tuchel’s sacking live on Sportsmail
Chelsea are in advanced talks with Graham Potter with a view to formally offering him their vacant manager’s job after firing Thomas Tuchel.
All being well, Potter is expected to be in charge in time for Saturday’s clash against Fulham.
The Brighton boss is the man Chelsea’s owners have identified as their first managerial appointment since taking control earlier this year.
Having made a formal approach to Brighton, the Blues were granted permission to discuss the vacancy with Potter.
Those discussions are understood to have been led by Chelsea co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali at a London location on Wednesday afternoon and are understood to have continued into the evening.
While there has been no confirmation of Potter’s appointment, sources are indicating the only way Chelsea would not appoint the ex-Swansea boss is if he decided to turn the role down.
The identification of Potter as Chelsea’s preferred option to replace Tuchel – who will receive as much as £15million in compensation from the Blues after his shock dismissal – has come during a period the club are without a sporting director.
Brighton have given Chelsea permission to discuss their newly vacant managerial position with Graham Potter
Boehly has taken interim charge of that position over the summer, however it is understood the club are now close to appointing someone into the crucial role with sources even suggesting the new man has had some influence on the move for Potter.
Former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards and ex-Tottenham and Southampton recruitment guru Paul Mitchell are among the individuals being considered by Chelsea.
Sources have indicated that Potter is fully open to taking over at Stamford Bridge and that reaching an agreement for him to join Chelsea will be straightforward.
Potter is understood to have a release clause – of at least £12million – in his contract meaning Brighton are powerless to prevent their manager from leaving.
Games played: 134
Goals scored: 161
Goals against: 172
Sportsmail understands the clause could increase according to the number of staff Potter brings with him.
Recruitment analyst Kyle Macaulay and first team coach Billy Reid are among the Brighton staff who are expected to follow Potter to London.
Potter is settled at Brighton, who have started the season excellently.
However, Potter has ambitions of competing in the Champions League, something Chelsea can immediately offer him.
If Chelsea’s move for Potter fails to materialise then Mauricio Pochettino is also viewed as a strong candidate.
Pochettino is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer meaning he is available for nothing.
It is understood Pochettino is aware of Chelsea’s interest, but Potter’s emergence as the club’s preferred option leaves the Argentine playing a waiting game.
Zinedine Zidane would also be of interest to Chelsea bosses – but he wants to take over from Didier Deschamps as France manager after the World Cup.

Tuchel cut a disconsolate figure as Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday
Tuchel – who turned down approaches from Manchester United and Barcelona during his tenure at Chelsea – was sacked on Wednesday morning just hours after his side’s defeat against Dynamo Zagreb, the club’s third defeat in seven games this season.
But the German’s dismissal comes against a back-drop of difficulties behind the scenes, amid claims from multiple sources that he’d lost the dressing room.
There was also said to be a disconnect between Tuchel and the club’s academy – something Chelsea’s owner were uncomfortable with.
The German is set to receive a pay-out of around £13million after he was sacked by Chelsea
Zinedine Zidane is one of the other names on the potential shortlist for the Chelsea job
In a statement, a Chelsea spokesman said: ‘On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club.
‘Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here.
‘As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition.’

THOMAS TUCHEL’S FINAL INTERVIEW AS CHELSEA BOSS
‘I’m angry with myself and I’m angry with our performance. I’m angry with myself because I did not see it coming.
‘Obviously I was in the wrong movie.
‘I thought that the last game helped us. I thought we showed a reaction in a very difficult moment against West Ham, got the reaction, got the result in the moments when you need a bit of luck in the situation we were in.
‘We had good training sessions, I thought the team was prepared, I thought we know what this is all about. I didn’t see it coming, that’s why I’m angry with myself.
‘There is too much to analyse – I’m a part of it. We’re clearly not there where we need to be and where we can be, so it’s on me it’s on us.
‘At the moment everything is missing.
‘This is a huge underperformance from all of us. It’s not precise enough, not clinical enough, not aggressive enough.
‘It’s not determined enough and not enough as a team and that’s why we lost.
‘It’s for me to find the solution and find the reason why.
‘Obviously [players] are underperforming individually and I don’t really know where this performance comes from.
‘A lack of determination, a lack of hunger and a lack of intensity to do the things we need at the highest level.
‘We are clearly not where we want to be. We expected what we got. It was the same story of the last few games – we start OK for 15-20 minutes but then lacked determination, precision and maybe even lacked the smell of blood.
‘We need to be much better. We are not finished, we are not happy with our results, we are not happy with the way we play in general, but I thought we were on a good way. I’m surprised by this performance.’
Relationships with stars deteriorated, he was unhappy at having such a big say on transfers… and Todd Boehly was ‘not happy taking a “no” on signing Cristiano Ronaldo’: How Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea reign fell in
By Jacob Ranson
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea reign fell apart after his relationships with players deteriorated, frustration over transfer business and not fitting in with the new ownership’s project.
The German has been sacked just three months after the Todd Boehly-led consortium formally completed the takeover of Chelsea.
The Blues suffered an abysmal 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League group-stages last night in his 100th match in charge, which has seen the Blues take action.
It was, however, not to do so much with results and more the fact of deteriorating relationships with star players at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel hit the ground running by winning the Champions League in his first six months
Tuchel also made it clear that he did not enjoy the extra responsibility he was given in the transfer window after Boehly handed him more power and a greater say on Chelsea’s business.
Not only that, Boehly’s interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo provided an early difference of opinion, with the American reluctant to simply take ‘no’ for an answer from Tuchel, who, according to the Telegraph, seemed exasperated at having to explain his reasons for not wanting the Portuguese superstar.
Crucially, the owners want a coach they can invest in for the future and who they believe is prepared to make an equal commitment.
The first 100 days with Tuchel did not offer enough encouragement that he would relish their style or help create the culture they want to breed.

The boss recently also reiterated his disappointment that former technical and performance advisor Petr Cech left Stamford Bridge following the takeover.
After the summer rebuild and a poor start to the new season, which sees Chelsea sitting sixth in the Premier League, it has been claimed that Tuchel’s relationship with a number of Chelsea’s squad has deteriorated.
His team selections have caused surprise and, at times, frustration among players who felt they have been unfairly left out or played out of position. That appeared to be evident in Zagreb.
The boss has been bringing players back into from the cold before dropping them again regularly, including wantaway stars Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic.
Ziyech started the defeat to Southampton, despite the fact he had been trying to negotiate a move out of Chelsea, with Pulisic taking his place in the following game against West Ham United.
Ziyech did not look like a man trying to do his head coach any favours when he was thrown on at half-time in Zagreb.
It appears to have been a deeper-rooted issue as the performances have got worse over time and in his last 50 games they have conceded 53 goals, a sign of the breakdown defensively which is hampering their trophy prospects.
Therefore Tuchel’s legacy has drastically collapsed since he arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2021 to replace Frank Lampard, when he hit the ground running by winning the Champions League within his first six months.
Tuchel has often brought players back into the team from the cold, including Hakim Ziyech
Last season Chelsea reached the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals, only to lose to Liverpool on both occasions. They also finished third in the Premier League.
In a bid to bridge the gap to champions Manchester City and Liverpool, Chelsea’s new ownership invested heavily in the summer, a record spend in one window for a Premier League club at more than £260million.
Wesley Fofana arrived from Leicester, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came in from Barcelona, while Raheem Sterling was their marquee first signing from Manchester City.
But Chelsea have made a stuttering start ahead of Saturday’s match against Fulham having already lost three times this season, all away from home at Southampton, Leeds and on Tuesday in Zagreb.
The 49-year-old’s departure will no doubt put pressure on Boehly, given his popularity among the Blues supporters following the 2021 Champions League success.
Tuchel also gained a lot of respect when he became the club’s spokesperson when restrictions were placed on the club, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on former owner Roman Abramovich.

Are you looking to put your puzzle-solving skills to the ultimate test? EDGE Escape, open now in Kissimmee, lets you do just that with its array of themed escape rooms. Read on to learn more about this new spot for family fun and adventure, as well as our own experience while trying to escape one of the rooms!
What is EDGE?
EDGE Escape takes guests on a thrilling journey through rooms full of clues and puzzles. Each room has a unique and exciting theme, with a mission that will have your heart pounding by the end. Unlike other escape rooms I’ve been through, you won’t just move on to the next section without solving the one you’re in. You have to figure out the answers, or doors simply will not open.
If that makes you nervous, don’t worry. An EDGE team member will brief you before you embark on your adventure, assessing your skill level when it comes to escaping. You’ll have an hour to complete your mission, but if you get stumped at any point, a live game master will provide hints and guidance (you just might have to do something silly to earn the help).
The entrance to the room will also never be locked; if you need to leave for any reason, you’re able to do so without needing to get the game master’s attention.
Save The Magic School
The Escape Rooms
EDGE has three escape rooms available to book right now, and one room that is set to open soon. While each room has its own exciting story, every experience is kid-friendly and private, reserved just for your group.
The escape rooms at EDGE include:
Save the Magic School: A curse has befallen Edge Magic School, set by a scorned and vengeful wizard. Your task? Sneak through the school so you can disarm the curse before it fully sets in. You may even learn some magic along the way.
Wonderland: In this room, dream like Alice and wind up in a kingdom that grows curiouser and curiouser the longer you stay. But fair warning: the Red Queen is ruling, and she is not a fan of newcomers. Escape is possible—just pay attention and don’t lose your head.
The Society of Adventures and Explorers: There once was a group who traveled the world and uncovered mysteries and treasures. Now, it’s your turn. You must learn more about this forgotten society and make some thrilling discoveries of your own.
Jewel Thief (coming soon): Cue the Mission: Impossible theme, because in this room you have to pull off one of the greatest heists in history. You’ll break into a highly secure vault in order to steal legendary jewels and live out the rest of your days in splendor. Just don’t get caught by the guards!
During our visit to EDGE Escape, we found Wonderland, literally. The Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms were like something out of a storybook. Each detail was brilliant, from the green grass and tea party set up in the first room, to the throne and garden in the last room.
I was so in awe of the beautiful decor that at times I forgot we had an actual mission: we needed to save the White Queen, who had been captured by the Red Queen. But as I was admiring that decor, my escape team began reading through the clues along the walls and furniture.
There were so many puzzles and mysteries to solve that at first we didn’t know where to start, but once we figured out one, the answers to others began to click. I won’t give too much away (everyone should escape from Wonderland themselves!) but we were able to make it through the rooms and defeat the Red Queen with just ONE minute to spare.
While we didn’t really risk losing our heads, it was still a massive relief to see the final door open and hear we’d been victorious. Not to mention, the satisfaction of winning was a high I rode for the rest of the day.
Booking a Visit
EDGE Escape’s rooms are designed to accommodate eight people, but groups can have up to ten members. Reservations are also highly encouraged, as walk-ins aren’t guaranteed to have a room open and ready for use. Guests should also arrive ten minutes early in order to be properly briefed before they enter their experience.
Escape rooms provide an exciting experience while also presenting a series of mental trials for guests. EDGE Escape strikes the perfect balance of fun and challenging with its rooms of immersive storytelling and stimulating puzzles and riddles, and with a number of themes to choose from, it’s an amazing venue for a day with family, date night, or small party.
So, if you’re looking to engage your mind during your next outing, give EDGE Escape a shot!
Just minutes away from I-Drive, Disney World, and Universal Studios, Kissimmee invites visitors to lose themselves in its world of shopping, tourism, and pristine landscapes. The city also holds an unfathomable amount of natural beauty and outdoor adventure, and for thrill seekers, Fun Spot America is close by in the Old Town Kissimmee area.

ידאגו כל האחין כולן אחד מבני חבורה שמת תדאג כל החבורה כולה אמרי לה דמת גדול ואמרי לה דמת קטן:
all of the brothers should be concerned, lest their death be approaching. Similarly, if one member of a group dies, the entire group should be concerned. Some say the concern is greatest if the eldest dies. If he, despite his virtues, could not avoid punishment, others will certainly not be saved. And some say the concern is greatest if the youngest dies, because the least significant people are punished first, and perhaps this is the start of a punishment for the entire group.
וכל המקלקלין פטורין: תני רבי אבהו קמיה דרבי יוחנן כל המקלקלין פטורין חוץ מחובל ומבעיר אמר ליה פוק תני לברא חובל ומבעיר אינה משנה ואם תמצא לומר משנה חובל בצריך לכלבו מבעיר בצריך לאפרו
We learned in the mishna: And anyone who performs labors destructively on Shabbat is exempt. Rabbi Abbahu taught this baraita before Rabbi Yoḥanan: Anyone who performs labors destructively on Shabbat is exempt, except for one who inflicts a wound or kindles a fire. Rabbi Yoḥanan said to him: Go teach that outside. This baraita is not fit for discussion in the study hall. The opinion that deems one liable for inflicting a wound or kindling a fire on Shabbat is not an accepted teaching and should be ignored. And if you want to say that it is a legitimate teaching, one who inflicts a wound would only be liable in a case where he needed the blood to give to his dog, and one who kindles a fire would only be liable in a case where he needs its ashes.
והאנן תנן כל המקלקלין פטורין מתניתין רבי יהודה ברייתא רבי שמעון מאי טעמא דרבי שמעון מדאיצטריך קרא למישרא מילה הא חובל בעלמא חייב
The Gemara asks: How could Rabbi Abbahu teach this baraita? Didn’t we learn explicitly in the mishna: Anyone who performs labors destructively on Shabbat is exempt, including one who inflicts a wound or who kindles a fire? The Gemara answers: In his opinion, the mishna is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda, who deems one liable for performing labor which is not needed for its own sake, whereas the baraita is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Shimon, who exempts in that case. The Gemara explains: What is the reason that Rabbi Shimon deems one who inflicts a wound or kindles a fire on Shabbat liable even though these are destructive acts? From the fact that a verse was necessary to permit circumcision on Shabbat, by inference, in general, one who inflicts a wound is liable. If inflicting a wound was not prohibited on Shabbat, there would be no need to permit circumcision.
ומדאסר רחמנא הבערה גבי בת כהן שמע מינה מבעיר בעלמא חייב
Similarly, from the fact that the Torah prohibited kindling a fire on Shabbat even with regard to the execution by burning of a priest’s daughter who committed adultery, conclude from it that in general, one who ignites a fire on Shabbat is liable.
ורבי יהודה התם מתקן הוא כדרב אשי דאמר רב אשי מה לי לתקן מילה מה לי לתקן כלי מה לי לבשל פתילה מה לי לבשל סמנין:
The Gemara asks: And how does Rabbi Yehuda address this proof? The Gemara answers: There, that is a case of a constructive labor in accordance with the explanation of Rav Ashi. For Rav Ashi said: What difference is there to me between repairing the child through circumcision and repairing a vessel? They are both constructive acts. And what difference is there to me between cooking a lead wick, as a melted lead wick was poured down the throat of the criminal sentenced to execution by burning, and cooking herbs used to produce dyes in the Tabernacle? The Torah addressed these cases specifically because they are constructive, and nothing can be derived from them with regard to liability for performance of destructive labors.
שיעור המלבן כו׳: רב יוסף מחוי כפול רב חייא בר אמי מחוי פשוט:
We learned in the mishna: The measure that determines liability for one who whitens and for similar prohibited labors is the full width of a double sit. Rav Yosef would demonstrate the width of a double sit by indicating the distance between the index and middle fingers and instructing the onlookers to double the measure. Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Ami would demonstrate in a simple manner, as he calculated that the distance between the thumb and the forefinger is equal to a double sit.
מתני׳ רבי יהודה אומר הצד צפור למגדל וצבי לבית חייב וחכמים אומרים צפור למגדל
MISHNA: Rabbi Yehuda says: One who traps a bird into a closet or cage, and one who traps a deer into a house is liable. The Rabbis say: One is liable for trapping a bird into a closet

Part 2: Government Buildings
There are several places to visit in Washington DC. We are going to cover all the major and minor sites, where you can find them, and what makes them so awesome. The second part of this series covers the government buildings.
Maybe you’re visiting Washington DC for the first or have lived here for a while. Either way, taking a day to see the most popular government buildings is well worth the effort. Getting there is easy if you hire a car service in the Washington DC area like RDV Limousine. Use our online booking form to book your limo now.
The White House
The shining star among the government buildings to visit is arguably the White House. Visiting the official home of the President is easier than you think. You will need to submit a request through your member of Congress up to three months but no later than 21 days in advance. These tours are self-guided, so you can go at your own pace. They are only available from 7:30 am to 11:30 pm Tuesday through Thursday and 7:30 am to 1:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays (excluding federal holidays and other noted dates). The tours are also first-come first-served, so apply early. Also, it’s completely free.
Since these tours are taking place in an important building, you’ll want to review what you can and cannot take with you. You can check out all the details here.
The U.S. Capitol Building
The next government building on the list is the U.S. Capitol. It is also one of the most popular spots to visit. Tours of the Capitol Building also need to be set up in advance. It’s easy to make free reservations, though. Just visit their website.
The tours of the building are guided and start at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center. A tour usually lasts about 90 minutes and covers the Capitol Rotunda, the Capitol Dome, the center point of the District of Columbia and others.
Congress in Session
If you ever wanted to see your government in action, then booking a visit Congress while it’s in session is a great way to do that. Again, it’s fairly easy to obtain passes. You just need to contact your congressman. You can also view the galleries when Congress is not in session. They are open to the public Monday-Friday from 9 am to 4:15 pm, but you want to make sure and check. Sometimes, the times change. You can find out more about what times are available and other information here.
Seeing where our laws are upheld and overturned can be exciting. Visiting the Supreme Court offers that opportunity. You can take a free self-guided tour of the beautiful building, as well as try to see one of the courtroom lectures, view the visitor’s film, or any court-related exhibitions. Of course, the building is also beautiful. Highlights of the ground and first floor include a statue of John Marshall, portraits and busts of the Justices, and two gorgeous marble spiral staircases.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
The Bureau, like the rest of the government buildings, is free to visit. It’s open to the general public Monday through Friday from 9 am to 10:45 am and from 12:30 pm to 2 pm. Groups are allowed access from 11 am to 12: 15pm. Tickets are required, however. There’s a ticket booth located on 15th Street and it opens at 8 am. You’ll need to get there early, because most days (according to the Washington.org site) the tickets are gone by 9 am.
This is a very interesting place to visit as you can actually see the money printed as you view the production floor. The tour lasts 40 minutes and includes an introductory film, a viewing of the production floor, and the visitors center.
The National Archives houses some of the greatest documents that makes this country what it is today. You can view the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. There are also exhibits which can be seen in the Exhibit Hall.
Admission is free to public and the hours are from 10 am to 5:30 pm. That last admission allowed is 30 minutes before closing. Check out the official website for more details.

National gym chain 24-Hour Fitness filed for bankruptcy Monday morning and is set to close gyms across the country.
In its filing, 24-Hour Fitness said the reason for the closures is directly tied to COVID-19.
"If it were not for Covid-19 and its devastating effects, we would not be filing for Chapter 11," CEO Tony Ueber said in a statement. "We expect to have substantial financing with a path to restructuring our balance sheet and operations to ensure a resilient future."
24-Hour Fitness said it plans to close 100 gyms across the U.S.
The company said it's secured $250 million in funding, which will allow it to keep 300 gyms open.
It's not known if any 24-Hour Fitness locations in Kern County will be impacted by the bankruptcy.

The ThreatLocker team provides the latest stories to keep you and your customers updated on ransomware and other malicious cybersecurity threats. Here's what's new this week:
Over 1 billion CVS Health records exposed online
An online database belonging to CVS Health was exposed online. The database contained production records of visitor IDs, session IDs, device access information, and a blueprint of how the logging system operated from the backend. Search records exposed also included queries for medications, COVID-19 vaccines, and a variety of CVS products, referencing both CVS Health and CVS.com.
Most firms are facing a second ransomware attack after paying off the first one
Many businesses that pay the ransom are experiencing a subsequent ransomware attack. In a survey, nearly 50% of those who paid said some or all of their data retrieved was corrupted. The study polled 1,263 security professionals in seven markets worldwide, including 100 in Singapore, as well as respondents in Germany, France, the US, and UK. This news doesn't come as a surprise, given ransomware attacks are projected to cost $265 billion worldwide by 2031, according to Cybersecurity Ventures.

2013 has proved to be an enormously successful year for musician Justin Timberlake — and for pop music in general — as he released his album entitled “The 20/20 Experience” to both American and international audiences. This year marks as the comeback year for Timberlake, as faithful fans patiently waited for another album following his sophomore “FutureSex/LoveSounds” back in 2007. The album proved well that Timberlake’s hiatus from performing did not affect his status in the music world, with both parts debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as well as peaking at many other countries around the world.
The first part of the “The 20/20 Experience” was released on March 15, 2013. Consisting of ten songs, with two bonus tracks added on by various retailers, the album is holistically quite a sound trip. For instance, all but one of the songs are over five minutes long, with the excitingly reeling opener “Pusher Love Girl” and the dance-oriented “Let the Groove Get In” stopping just a few seconds after the eight-minute mark. The songs on the album are described by many music critics as a mix of neo-soul music and older soul styles, while still managing to hook on to its listeners with a heavy pop influence. Celebrating the snappy gentleman lifestyle, “Suit and Tie,” the first single off the album, features hip-hop rapper Jay-Z as the only musical guest and is arguably the most mainstream radio-friendly. The small success of “Suit and Tie” seemed very calculated as it was released as a promotional single approximately four months before the album release.
However, the second single “Mirrors” truly rewound the spotlight back on Timberlake. With hand claps and guitar melodies reminiscent of the sounds of “FutureSex”, Timberlake truly redefines the concept of professing your love to a significant other. While all the songs the album are enough to keep avid listeners constantly blasting the system, a standout track is the mysterious “Blue Ocean Floor.” The lyrics are possibly the most distinct out of the rest of the album, as Timberlake visualizes: “20,000 leagues away, catch up to you on the same day. Travel at the speed of light, thinking the same thought at the same time…”
Released on September 27, 2013, “The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2” included 12 songs and also had two bonus tracks just like the first part. “2 0f 2” has been described by critics as a supposed supplement of the first part, with some songs not actually necessarily adding up to the so-called “Experience.” Songs such as “True Blood” and “Only When I Walk Away” gave mixed reactions from various media outlets, saying that they were “too long and excessively unfocused.” Some highlights however are the heavy-drummed “TKO” and the first promotional single “Take Back the Night.” “TKO” sounds similar to Timberlake’s first commercial solo effort “Justified”, while “Take Back the Night” incorporates yet another new sound. It is influenced by discotheque elements and classic R&B.
As a whole, “The 20/20 Experience” provides something for everyone. It gives throwback sounds and compositions that allow most of Timberlake’s older and long-standing fans maintain interest in his music. However, the albums also introduce new elements and aspects of songs and instrumentals that can attract a new audience. It certainly is a fresh and reassuring reminder that pop music is not all that “bad,” despite numerous critics and people that say otherwise. “20/20” has the potential to even be a significant pop release in years, and it can keep crowds of new and old JT legions dancing and simply jamming out for a long time.
“The 20/20 Experience” – 9/10.
“The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2” – 7/10.

Let’s take a deep breath, slow down and have a talk about cleaning, disinfecting and staying safe.
With more people using cleaning products during the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been an increase in accidental poisonings in Washington State. The Washington Poison Center reported a 23% increase in calls about accidental poisonings from cleaners compared to this time period last year.
There has also been some misinformation circulating, so we want to make it clear: When using a cleaner or disinfectant, always follow the product’s directions and never apply these products to yourself or others.
Here are some other safety tips:
Don’t ingest cleaners or disinfectant products.
- This includes putting it on your food. Many cleaning and disinfectant products contain chemicals that irritate the eyes or throat, cause headaches and other health problems.
Never mix products.
- Some cleaners, especially ammonia and bleach, form a toxic gas when mixed.
Clean before you disinfect.
- Wash surfaces with soap and water before disinfecting. Cleaning removes germs. Disinfecting kills germs. You can’t disinfect a dirty surface. So you need to do both.
Use an EPA registered disinfectant.
- Check the label to see if the product has an EPA registration. Follow the “6 Steps for Safe & Effective Disinfectant Use.”
Clean it twice.
- After leaving the disinfectant on for the time recommended wipe down surfaces again with soap and water to clean it.
Use gloves when cleaning and disinfecting to protect your skin.
- If you do or don’t still wash your hands after using a disinfectant. This will minimize your exposure to the chemicals in them and the germs you are trying to kill.
Hazardous Waste Management provides additional information on cleaning and disinfecting safely on its Facebook feed, @KingCountyHazWaste. For more information on how to fight the virus, check out Public Health’s frequently updated COVID-19 webpage.


Ride, live, and work in the same jacket, as the Levi's Commuter Field Parka was designed for those on the move be it by foot, bus, or bike. The Commuter was made using a weather blocking material that retains a soft hand, yet still resists water and wind. This fabric also lets interior moisture escape, meaning that you'll stay dry and comfortable on the inside. The jacket was cut with the cyclist's position in mind, giving you full cuff coverage while outstretched at the bars, in addition to shielding your lower back along the rear panel. Finishing details include a stowable hood, two chest pockets, two hand pockets, and reflective detailing throughout.

Self-Hypnosis a how to guide
This is an article that is originally copyrighted by me, and appears in my personal blog at lenxworld.blogspot.com. I have got noticed with this thoroughly researched post, and was rewarded incoming links from top hypnosis organizations. My complete post with all important information is still in the blog, and here only the article stub is posted.
weight loss, dieting, self improvement, lose weight, quit smoking, slim trim, slim down, trim down, hypnosis to boost body looks, improve sexiness
Self-Hypnosis, why is that?
You want to lose your weight, you have used the best weight loss techniques on the internet, and offline without results; you want to have the best diet, how? You want to lose your smoking habit. You want increase your self esteem. You want to tackle your life, your anxieties, and your problems. What is the best solution for all this? I would say, self-hypnosis. How? Read on.
A Hypnosis For the best Maths Tutor In Ireland company, call Ace Solution Books. Primer:
You have seen people getting hypnotized; you have seen it in Dracula, when Mina Harker was put into trance, when she was starting to acquire the obnoxious count, by the great Professor Van Helsing and gave the directions as to where the count Dracula was heading; you have seen it in real life, as treatment to a million psychological disorders including the dissociative identity, schizophrenia etc; you have seen it as valuable tool to gather evidence in famed criminal cases. It is, in fact, one great invention that mankind holds, with practically far reaching ramifications.
Hypnosis is a state of consciousness of the brain, in which the conscious and subconscious regions of the brain are interactive at the same time, keeping the subject in a state of trance, and open to positive suggestions. Positive suggestions in the sense, you could make the subject throw away a harmful habit (s)he has. You can instill good character and mindset to the people; and you can generate affection, hatred or a neutral feeling toward anything. In essence, this versatile psychological tool can work out miracles for you.
The requirements and the process:
First, you have to have a calm and serene atmosphere, where you are not going to be disturbed for another hour. Now, please also try to have a comfortable position, and away from any kind of movements. Also, it is desirable if there is no noise.
Have some background music played (without lyrics, just music). The music has to be very low and serene. And hip hop, rock, and rap are not preferred. It has to be absolutely low, and monotonous.
Now, have a point on the ceiling or anywhere you can look without much effort, and stare at the point, fix your eye and make no movement whatsoever. Have nothing come to your mind, and take five to ten deep breaths. Now, optionally you can count on each breath. That would put your brain out of a state of thought. While doing the counting, you have to relax your body, from the head to the toes. Try to feel that your eyelids are drooping and heavy.
Once you are fully relaxed, and feeling like floating, you can tell yourself this phrase: “I can become more self-reliant each time I do this process.” Chant this phrase or any other positive phrase. You are giving your brain, suggestions. You can write your own phrases, and ask the Subconscious to do it. You can tell your brain to stop the bad habit you are having, or anything similar. Chant this phrase a few times, and then you can come back to conscious state.
Please repeat these steps everyday. At first it would be a tedious process, or it would look like one. But as the time goes by, you will automatically go to the trance easily, and in less time.
This is just an introduction to the process of self hypnosis, and you can have a better understanding of the process from the following links, which can give you resources from the internet on this deep subject.

The quality department are often the ones tasked with carrying out the quality inspection documentation process. This process usually involves the creation of many types of documents and reports. This manual process can often be linear, time consuming, and prone to error.
Watch our video demonstration as Senior Application Specialist Vicky Guignard takes a closer look at SOLIDWORKS Inspection 2019, and outlines the benefits that will help you improve product quality and save money:
SOLIDWORKS Inspection Benefits
SOLIDWORKS Inspection helps drastically reduce the time needed to generate inspection reports. In just a few clicks, you can create industry-compliant inspection reports (such as AS9102, PPAP, ISO 13485) or use the powerful template editor to develop a report that matches your company’s needs.
Faster than manual methods
Using manual inspection methods can mean hundreds of characteristics, dimensions, tolerances, and notes have to be manually entered into a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet. SOLIDWORKS Inspection helps avoid errors and inconsistencies traditionally associated with manual data input.
Eliminate change costs
If changes to the model by an engineer or customer are required, this can cause drawing revisions that require quality inspectors to redo the work and input all the characteristics again. Automated document creation can help your company significantly improve costs when changes are made, as you can rerun the inspection process.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection Training Courses
Javelin's certified SOLIDWORKS instructors can help you get up to speed quickly with SOLIDWORKS Inspection software and provide Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing best practices with a training course you can take in-person or live online.

Connecting expert communities to the Forbes audience.What is this?
Post written by
Director of Public Relations, Stribling & Associates, New York's premier residential brokerage.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Time Magazine just named the #MeToo movement as its person of the year. Ashley Judd and Taylor Swift grace the cover, along with the arm of a woman who did not want her face shown, representing all the anonymous women who have suffered sexual discrimination, harassment or abuse.
As a woman, this is a bittersweet moment -- a mix of pride and disappointment. It’s extremely brave for women to come forward and name their assaulters in a public forum, but it’s alarming to see just how pervasive the theme has become across so many industries. From broadcast news and Hollywood to Capitol Hill and stand-up comedy, new allegations continue to surface every day -- with some very powerful people paying the price with their careers.
The gender pay gap is real.
I think most women, myself included, have faced some sort of discrimination along the way in our careers, starting with salary. Women who work full time currently make about 80% of what their male counterparts make. According to one Washington Post article, this means women are working for free 10 weeks out of the year.
Even in my chosen field of public relations, which is dominated by women, men earn (a lot) more and hold more leadership positions. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up 61.3% of the PR industry and 69% of Public Relations Society of America members. Despite the girl power composition of the industry, the pay scale tells a different story. PRWeek’s 2016 Salary Survey found that male PR executives earn about $125,000 a year compared to $80,000 a year for women.
Not only do women start out making less money, they’re also less likely to get raises. Although recent studies show that women ask for raises as often as men, they're 25% less likely to receive them. And when they do ask for a raise or promotion, women are more likely to receive feedback that they are "bossy," "intimidating" or "aggressive," reports the Wall Street Journal. Experts say women who want to negotiate for more money should be prepared with facts and figures when making their case. However, as CNN notes, "don't show your boss what women in your industry earn on average, because women are often paid less." Instead, show what people in your position industry-wide make on average.
