Left lashes out at govt for giving Z-plus cover to Mukesh Ambani
New Delhi: Left parties on Monday lashed out at the government for providing armed commando cover to top corporate leader Mukesh Ambani, saying the common people have been left in the lurch as gruesome incidents of rape keep happening.
"It is unprecedented that at a time when such ghastly and gruesome incidents of rape are taking place and people are demanding more security, Z-plus category of security is given to a top corporate leader like Ambani and the commoners left in the lurch," senior CPI(M) leader Basudeb Acharia told reporters here.
In the same vein, veteran CPI leader AB Bardhan said at a time when the "police force is unable to provide security to its citizens, ensure safety for women, and even 4 or 5-year-old girl children are raped under their very nose, the government has ordered Z-plus security for the country`s richest corporate tycoon Mukesh Ambani and even protection for his sprawling residential building `Antilia`."
"Our party demands that the government order be rescinded and the CRPF be sent back for their primary task," Bardhan said, adding, "This is the first time a private person, because he happens to be an Ambani, is being provided with such security for his person and his residence by a government which is failing every day to protect the common man, especially women and children."
He said, "It is matter of shame for this government and shows for whom it works. Mukesh Ambani has all the resources at his command to provide security for himself and his establishments."
To a question whether CPI(M) would support capital punishment in gruesome rape cases, Acharia said, "We will consider it, discuss it further, especially individual cases....The situation has changed and, therefore, this issue has to be thought over."

My Big Fat Superhero Wedding Sequel
Batman v Superman + a little Wonder Woman dominated the weekend with a critic proof opening record for March. The test will be how well it can hold with terrible reviews and lackluster word of mouth. It's unlikely to have the staying power of something like Deadpool for example, which is still in the top ten 7 weeks after its debut. On the other hand it has free reign for a while with no direct competition coming for one entire month. Captain America Civil War arrives on April 8th. The question is this: Will Marvel's superheroes vs superheroes blockbuster be hurt by people feeling all "bleh" about Batman v Superman? Casual moviegoers rarely know the difference between studios and filmmakers and general history of quality, you know.
Meanwhile something girlier: Sally Field's little film is doing great with older moviegoers and enters the top ten in its 3rd week despite being on less than 500 screens. And finally, despite her phenomenally successful My Big Fat Greek Wedding being an ancient memory in pop culture years, Nia Vardalos's sequel did pretty well with a solid third place debut. She tweeted out this celebratory opening weekend photo

'Debbie Backer' bill gives divorced persons more time to claim property
The Married Persons (Property) (Amendment) Bill 2013 was on Thursday evening unanimously approved by parliament and will see persons being given a three-year timeframe to claim property after the dissolution of their marriage.
The bill in the name of deceased APNU parliamentarian Debbie Backer saw every parliamentarian who spoke on it dedicating same to Backer. They explained that the bill seeks to give, especially women, the option of a change of heart in filing for property up to three years after their divorce through the summary process.
However, Attorney General Anil Nandlall explained that the bill was subject to interpretation and to him means that the three-year period was a guide. "It should be interpreted to be inclusionary and not exclusionary. In other words it should include applications for the three-year period by allowing those applications to benefit from a summary process but not to exclude applications beyond the three years as a statutory bar… a person can come by a protracted long writ procedure and file for division of property outside the three-year period," he said.
AFC MP Moses Nagamootoo opined suggested that the Bill be renamed "The Debbie Backer Bill" as he informed that he welcomed its approval since its ensures persons will speedily see the tangible benefits from the marriage after moving on.
"A person in marriage…after a divorce, having to face this long journey called justice, would very well expire and not enjoy the fruits of their matrimony or properties acquired in the course of marriage…within three years of the divorce being pronounced you can take advantage of the Act and go to court under the procedure in the course of marriage and have the award made quickly," he said.
"This is a great piece of legislation for Guyana; a great victory for married women, in particular," he added.
PPP/C Member of Parliament Bibi Shadick said that while the bill appears to be "a very simple and innocent looking piece of legislation," the possibility exists that it could be very complex.

Art inspired from my visits to heaven, the walks with God, and the insight He revealed.
Capturing beautiful images that touch my heart, hoping to inspire others through them.

People's lives affected
Hello and welcome to James Martinez, I AM an author, writer, poet, photographer, and filmmaker and I've been blessed by God our Father in an extraordinary way. I was given the gift of being called up to meet with The Creator, The One who made it all - you know Jesus' Father, The Beginning and The End - God Almighty, The One I call friend.
He's given me everything and now I share it with all who'll come in close and listen to the truth.
I didn't use to know the way, not until God helped me get past myself and the ways of the world. Now I co-create life with Him. In-fact I bare witness to and for God (The Holy Trinity). I write spiritually inspired books about the insights and discoveries I found along the way. I also recreate some of the places I've been blessed with visiting through artworks and I share this journey visually as well.
I AM a photographer and a cinematographer/videographer. I'm recreating the story through moving pictures so everyone can see it for themselves. So now the four of us are creating our documentary and making videos for others in need of help understanding life and what its all about. Since finding God I've since dedicated my life to Him and I work everyday at delivering His messages daily.
I know how hard it is out there, I was once misled in the dark too. I know the way now and I'll hope you'll open up your eyes and ears and take a moment to become acquainted with the blessings God our Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit have given. God's changed the world in a way only He can and He's allowed for me to be part of it for a very long time.
I share it with you now.
Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy the site. If there's anything I can help you with please don't hesitate to ask. Send me a message and I'll be happy to respond as quickly as possible. Thank you, God bless you, grace and peace to you my friends. I love you
Would you like to collaborate or perhaps co create something inspiring? Reach out to me and lets see if we can make that happen together. I know for certain all things are possible with God, without a doubt there's nothing that can't be done. Send me a message and lets chat a bit and see if we're on the same page. To create and manifest anything you must have faith and believe!

The man recovering from surgery to remove massive tumours that left him struggling to see or breathe
- Wu Qiang, 33, was born with a small bump on his face
- Seven years ago it began growing and his face became covered in tumours
- Diagnosed with hemangiomas - benign tumors of cells that line blood vessels
- Recently had surgery after they left him unable to see or breathe properly
Wu Qiang was suffering from diagnosed with hemangiomas, benign tumors of the cells that line blood vessels. The tumours had even grown over his eyes, leaving him virtually blind
A Chinese man is recovering from surgery to remove huge, disfiguring facial tumours.
Wu Qiang, 33, was born with a small bump on his face.
But in 2005 the bump started to grow quickly and just a few years later his face was completely covered in unsightly tumours.
They had even grown over his eyes, leaving him virtually blind.
Mr Qiang was later diagnosed with hemangiomas - benign tumors of the endothelial cells that line blood vessels.
About 30 per cent of hemangiomas are present at birth, with the rest appearing in the first several months of life.
They usually disappear by the age of 10.
Mr Qiang does not work because he rarely left the house due to his appearance.
He was able to have surgery to remove the facial tumours thanks to donations from the public.
Speaking about Mr Qiang's surgery, chief
surgeon Zhou Fei said: 'He now can feel vague lights, which is good
for him. We'll try our best to let him have a normal life.'
Mr Qiang added: 'My biggest hope is to support my family and be a volunteer to help others after my recovery.'
Hemangiomas may be either in the top or deep layers of skin - or a mixture of both.
Mr Qiang is recovering in hospital after surgery to remove the disfiguring facial tumours. He was able to have surgery thanks to donations from the public
Occasionally, a hemangioma can break down
and develop a sore. This can lead to pain, bleeding, scarring or
In severe cases, such as Mr Qiang's, they can also interfere with breathing, feeding, or other vital functions and so must be treated.

How should we react when an employee is not performing well or makes a mistake? How to respond when an employee messes up.
Via donhornsby, Roger Francis, Lynnette Van Dyke
donhornsby's curator insight, May 11, 2015 10:48 AM
(From the article): When trust, loyalty, and creativity are high, and stress is low, employees are happier and more productive and turnover is lower. Positive interactions even make employees healthier and require fewer sick days. Other studies have shown how compassionate management leads to improvements in customer service and client outcomes and satisfaction.

Don't confuse outputs for outcomes. We often celebrate the outputs of our work. When something gets launched or when we cross another checkbox off of our to-do list. But by celebrating outputs instead of outcomes, we lose the spark of what motivated us to innovate in the first place. We don't do what we do to cross items off a list, we do what we do because it has an impact. "Don't get blinded by the output and celebrate the wrong win," Reynolds stated. His example? Building a well isn't what we celebrate. Instead, celebrate when the well is providing clean water and better health for an entire village.

Your next executive hire should be a retired special ops officer.
Sharrock's insight:
Author raises good points suggesting the ways special Ops officers have developed skills fitting needs in business.
Why does it matter that people mix them up?
There are a lot of creative benefits to alternative management structures, but there are some downsides too. There is no completely egalitarian organization. There is always either a formally established hierarchy or an informal one based on peer powers and contributors and a lot of informal bosses. If you're opting for the second kind, think through how it will work. There will always be people who have more or less power compared to the rest of the organization. This is because some people have more expertise in areas than others, and having a few decision makers is absolutely necessary. Not having traditional management doesn't necessarily equate to no titles, but it often equates to having almost no titles. There is almost always a C-level team present with, at the very least, a CEO and COO. At Medium, that team is called the General counsel circle.
'All I know is what I and others see at the front lines every day, and I just know that it's not working—for students or their teachers. '
If organizations are going to thrive in turbulent times, they must surrender many of their most cherished assumptions and start leveraging the power of collaborative knowledge. But this won't be easy as most continue to believe in the same top-down knowledge management strategies common to the machine age.
Kim Cameron and his colleagues at the University of Michigan, however, have discovered a way to improve performance that has nothing to do with dishing out benefits or deploying new processes. In a research article published in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Cameron and his coauthors found that a workplace characterized by positive and virtuous practices excels in a number of domains.

CIM Academy's curator insight, March 27, 2015 6:44 AM
Times are changing and being a digital leader is now a key aspect of achieving marketing success.
Everybody would like to think more about the long term, but unless you can solve everyday problems, you'll never get there. However, control is an illusion and always has been. When large organizations had a monopoly on resources, it was a workable fiction. It no longer is.
Sharrock's insight:
This brings together some interesting ideas. The quote itself says that the old style of leadership is outdated because resources were monopolized objects that people couldn't access or manipulate without permission. Information and access is not controlled easily. The information age of the knowledge era requires high levels of transparency, collaboration, and communication so that problems can be discovered and solved. This requires a different kind of leadership that rejects formal authority, instead valuing informal authority. There are other ideas to consider connected with this article and regarding leadership in general. For one, there is the question about authority as an expert, how power is derived from authority (or vice versa), and the fluidity of leadership as it directs power towards greater effectiveness.
Great leaders think strategically. They can understand and appreciate the current state as well as see possibilities.
Via Maree Whiteley
Sharrock's insight:
This type of strategic leadership requires five different types of thinking. Knowing when and how much to utilize each one is the hallmark of great leaders.Critical thinking is the mental process of objectively analyzing a situation by gathering information from all possible sources, and then evaluating both the tangible and intangible aspects, as well as the implications of any course of action.Implementation thinking is the ability to organize ideas and plans in a way that they will be effectively carried out.Conceptual thinking consists of the ability to find connections or patterns between abstract ideas and then piece them together to form a complete picture.Innovative thinking involves generating new ideas or new ways of approaching things to create possibilities and opportunities.Intuitive thinking is the ability to take what you may sense or perceive to be true and, without knowledge or evidence, appropriately factor it in to the final decision.
What makes us create and innovate? Here, wildly creative thinkers share ideas and insights into what kindles genius.

Argument: Testing doesn't assess everything a child needs to learn!
Sharrock's insight:
Walkup raises important points that points back to the need for others to evaluate our thinking and actions. We are human, so we can't be perfect. The most obvious of our imperfections is captured by the endless list of fallacies and biases. In the end, only (mostly) the most mentally ill will see herself as the bad guy in her life story. No matter what we do, we have rationales or rationalizations. Even when we're wrong, we can only mostly see our errors in retrospect. (To experience this, try editing your own writing then hand it over to someone else to edit.Then compare the editing suggestions.)
On the other hand, we also need to trust and respect our evaluators. This is something that standardized testing--based on how they are constructed--can provide based on objectivity and sample sizes. And we all believe in testing. "When a calculus teacher assesses her students on Taylor series expansions, she knows fully well that her assessment will fail to capture many of the personal traits needed to be a successful mathematician. Yet, she still assigns the test.""Standardized testing is no different. Results of standardized testing are limited to uncovering gaps in basic concepts/skills acquisition. We should acknowledge as such."
This is better than depending on the opinionated colleague down the hall who finds success certain ways that fits his personality, but doesn't fit well for anyone else.

Work with what you have.
Sharrock's insight:
This is important advice. I've explored a great deal about what schools (secondary and post secondary) can help people learn and be able to do, and I've explored what they have not been able to help people learn. This short article does a lot. It encourages creatives to jump in and make it happen. Whatever they do to complete a project will result in being a learning experience. Skills will develop and will be developed; resourcefulness will get tested, collaboration and problem solving skills will get challenged. But in the end, you develop certain skills, you complete a project, and the finished product will be something you can use to encourage others to invest in you so that you can accomplish bigger projects.
From phys
Several models have already been proposed to generate networks of interacting individuals with wildly varying connectivity. The most famous of these is known as preferential attachment and follows the social maxim of "the rich get richer". As time progresses, the individuals in the network with the most connections are the ones most likely to acquire new connections. Just as in the real world, wealth attracts still more wealth and societies develop with most people having little and a small minority having most of the resources.
Why is attitude going to define your year ahead? Having an attitude of happiness, positivity, gratitude, progress, care and abundance is an asset in all areas of life. In career and business your attitude has a massive impact on your ability to achieve your goals, to find happiness in the workplace and to be valued by your employer, colleagues and clients. In your relationship with family, friends and loved ones your attitude will define how people care for you and interact with you everyday. In health, your attitude will enable you to reach your goals and have energy and vitality. Every area of your life benefits enormously from the quality of your attitude no matter what your life story or circumstances are.

Influencing Staff Creativity: How Good Leaders Get it Right | Leading from the ... - Library Journal
Productive change depends on staff members who are working creatively to develop new ideas for better library services. Leaders can play an important role in helping staff to achieve higher levels of workplace creativity.
Great businesses, in the final analysis, are built by passion. Strategies can come and go, but the mission of the enterprise is fundamental to directing action
Sharrock's insight:
important section: "More recently, there has been a seismic shift in the strategic environment. Whereas we used to compete in distinct industries with clear boundaries, today business is dominated by open ecosystems. Although Apple is an integrated firm, its App store allowed thousand of developers to enhance its product, without having to coordinate with Jobs or his firm.
This has had a profound effect on how we have to think about strategy. Every media company now must consider Amazon a threat, although Amazon itself is a retailer that competes with Walmart. It also recently launched a Fire phone and is in a pitched battle with Microsoft to win dominance in cloud services.
The result is that strategy is no longer just about efficiencies and capabilities along the value chain, but also widening and deepening networks of connections. In today's semantic economy, the structure of your relationships is every bit as important—if not more important—than the structure of your organization."
Critical thinking is an important skill in the 21st century learning. Education's overall goal is to produce students that will be able to think critically and not just take in things like a parrot. Of course there is a bunch of other important skills out there but this particular one stands out from the crowd. The thing about ttis skill is that while almost all teachers agree upon its priority in education only few really know what it really means

"Creating communication friendly schoolsClassrooms which have clearly defined areas create a more organised environment which pupils can navigate easily, says Fiona Barry 66 51 1 1 119 EmailClassroom displays can bring learning to life but can be visually distracting Photo: Alamy Top 10: Advice on Choosing the Best Postgrad University Place for YouPostgraduate study is a fantastic opportunity, but your success and enjoyment will in part depend on where you study. AdvertisementBy Fiona Barry2:00PM GMT 20 Mar 2015CommentEducation is an area that is constantly meddled with by politicians and in the lead up to this year's General Election there will, no doubt, be many changes proposed in the hope of securing votes.Whether our schools survive the next year unscathed remains to be seen. However, regardless of any potential changes, one thing that remains constant is the research evidence that demonstrates the central role that communication skills play in education attainment and outcomes later on in life.Good communication skills underpin all learning and this is reflected in the fact that Ofsted has a strong focus in their inspection framework on how children are developing their communication skills within a school and whether teachers are able to support them with this.The Teachers' Standards, set by the Department for Education, states that all teachers should take responsibility for promoting high standards of speaking and listening skills regardless of the subject they teach.In practice, not all teachers feel confident in doing this. However, creating schools which have a communication friendly environment is a cohesive and effective way of sharing out the responsibility of driving up communication standards in schools. There are three main areas which need to be considered:Visual support to enhance understanding of the written and spoken word Everyone benefits from backing up writing and speech with signs, pictures and symbols. This promotes independence and helps students understand rules, routines and information. Imagine an alien landing in your school. Would they easily be able to find their way round and know how the day works?Colour coded maps, room labels with photos of the teacher or what happens in the room and staff boards in the foyer with named photos help students and visitors navigate the building.Classrooms with consistent colour coding for areas and pictures to show where equipment is kept reduces anxiety and helps understanding, as do visual timetables showing the structure of the day or part of a lesson, like getting dressed for PE.The use of symbol supported learning materials in lessons makes the curriculum accessible to all. When worksheets, stories, task instructions and new vocabulary are accompanied by symbols and pictures, this helps understanding of words and instructions and allows pupils to work through tasks with increasing independence.Symbol supported learning materials in lessons makes the curriculum accessible to allEnsuring that adults communicate in ways that support language developmentThe way that parents and teachers interact with pupils has the strongest effect on how their communication skills emerge. Information on typical language development and the strategies that encourage this should be shared with staff and parents.Some 'Golden Rules' can be created, which teachers and parents agree to try and adopt, for example, allowing extra thinking time for pupils to respond to questions is a simple rule that can have wide reaching consequences for all pupils.Creating surroundings which facilitate good communicationThe physical environment has a huge impact on how well pupils can listen and talk, but schools do not always take this into consideration. It's helpful to think about the auditory surroundings in school. What are the acoustics of the classroom like? Can the teacher's voice be heard, if not, what would improve this?The visual environment is also key. Are there lots of visual distractions in areas where children are expected to concentrate?Classroom displays can bring learning to life but can be visually distracting which is problematic for all children, especially those with listening and attention difficulties. Considering placing displays away from areas where children are expected to work and having clear wall spaces there instead is useful.Is there adequate lighting? Having the light source in front of the teacher is preferable as spoken information is heavily supported by non-verbal information like lip movements, facial expression and eye contact.Classrooms which have clearly defined areas create a more organised environment which pupils can navigate easily. Making specific areas which are conducive to talking is beneficial for pupils of all ages.As with any whole school plan it's vital that a top-down approach is taken to ensure that the key features are embedded into everyday practice.It's helpful for school leadership teams to give staff and governors information around the links between communication skills and raising educational attainment in order to encourage an understanding of why changes need to be made.Including actions about communication development in the school action plan ensures that adaptations to the school environment are followed through. Teacher training is also crucial and local speech and language therapy services are the best starting point to investigate training that is on offer.A helpful resource is the Communication Trust's 'Communication Commitment' which provides a comprehensive guide to creating a whole school approach to boosting talking and listening skills.Incorporating speaking and listening activities into lesson planning for all subject areas creates time for talk during the day and raises the status of 'just talking' to be in line with the status given to reading and writing. Celebrating positive communication skills through speaking and listening awards or communication mentor schemes also raises the profile.Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, none of this would be successful without involving parents. Parental engagement is crucial to every aspect of a child's school career. Sharing information via newsletters, bulletin boards and parent talks about what the school is aiming for and how parents can support this at home is essential.Our schools are likely to be subjected to yet another barrage of policy changes in the near future. However, teachers and parents can safeguard the success of pupils by making consistent and effective adaptations to the school environment now, to enable all students to be able to communicate to the best of their abilities in the future."

Tony Palmeri's curator insight, October 24, 2015 1:32 PM
I scooped this resource because institutional communication from leadership to staff and to students is a pillar is a fundamental requirement. I've learned that color coding and visual cues are strategies that assist ASD students, and this article describes how this approach is a benefit to ALL learners. "Wait time" for question response is a classroom consideration that has been supported for a long time. On thing that I've found useful is sitting in a circle, on the floor. Taking kids out of their customary "sitting at my desk" environment tends to do wonders for communication.

YUM!! I'm not sure that I used quite 2 pounds of potatoes and I skipped the onions, but I did everything else to the measurements specified. I used fresh squeezed orange juice too. The sauce was absolutely incredible, and we'll be making this often -- thank you for posting it!!
This was delicious. I made this to take to my Son's for our Thanksgiving dinner. So I prepared it the day before. It was perfect the day of, after heating it in the microwave. Easy! We all enjoyed it. I really liked the combination of the orange and sweet potato. Made for Every Day Is A Holiday Tag Game.
These were absolutely delish! Will be making this again soon. Thanks for posting this. Made for Beverage Tag October 08
This is wonderful. I would rate it 10 stars if l could. Will be making this again and again!!!!!
I really enjoyed these. I will be making them again & again. Thanks Boomette Made for JUNE/JULY Beverage Tag: How Does Your Garden Grow?
These were fabulous! I sliced the sweet potatoes a bit thinner so they'd bake faster. I also flipped them halfway through baking to soak up the sweet sauce. I didn't have the green onions, but will add them next time. Even my DD ate them and that says a lot! Perfect company side dish.
Thanks so much for sharing Boomie, we really loved these sweet, citrusy glazed potatoes. I followed your recipe 100%... the sweet potatoes turned out to be very tender and tasty. I enjoyed the subtle combination of ginger and orange zest in this dish. But the topper for me was the depth that the green onions gave to this sweet dish..kudos
I used 1 large potato that was 1 pound with the same amount of sauce called for. I mixed the sauce without the butter so no need to microwave because the sugar dissolved with the acid of the juice. Pour it on the potatoes and then topped each slice with a touch of butter. This is Fabulous! My DH that doesn`t eat sweet potatoes had seconds. Thanks.
Easy to throw together and VERY yummy. I totally forgot to add the green onions, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks Boomette!

A Pakistani woman was stoned to death by her own family, in front of that nation's high court, because the family did not approve of the man she choose to marry.
Mohammed Iqbal sits with his wife's body after the police completed their investigation of the scene.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Disturbing and graphic images have been displayed in the media showing the graphic aftermath of an honor killing on the streets of Lahore, Pakistan. The victim, Farzana Parveen, 25, was pregnant when her family attacked her outside Lahore's high courthouse.
Witnesses say the family, which numbered about 20 people, first tried to seize her away from her husband, Mohammad Iqbal. When she resisted, her father and brothers took up bricks from a nearby construction site and began throwing them at her. She was killed in the subsequent frenzy of stoning.
Pray for the victims of violence.
Mrs. Praveen was three months pregnant as the family murdered her.
Police say the family was angry because she married Iqbal, a man to whom she had been engaged for several years. The family did not ever approve of her choice and filed an abduction case against Iqbal. They wanted instead to arrange a marriage for their daughter.
The family allegedly lined up outside the court, waiting for the couple to emerge from the courthouse. They were armed with guns and bricks and ambushed the couple as they exited the building. Police eventually dispersed the crowd and pictures of the deceased Farzana Praveen were taken.
The body of Farzana Parveen lies in the street.
Police investigate the crime scene. It is unlikely anyone will face true justice for the killing.
Farzana Parveen's husband, Mohammad Iqbal sits with her body as it is carted away.
Mohammad Iqbal's mother mourns over her deceased daughter-in-law and grandchild.

Cardiff City Confirms Change To Red Kit From Traditional Blue
Published June 7, 2012
FANS UPSET: Meanwhile, the London DAILY MAIL reported that the move was "done with the Asian market in mind, where the colour has strong spiritual significance." The club is also hoping that Welsh fans "will welcome red given its link with the country's heritage." A club statement read: "Our investors have been impressed with the passion and commitment from Cardiff City supporters for their team and want to harness these strengths to create an affinity between the club and the cultures of Wales and Asia. With that in mind and as a part of the significant investment made to give the club the best chance of succeeding in this area, they believe very strongly that there is a need to make some radical, but important changes to our brand." However, some fans were "outraged." One fan wrote on Twitter: "I will never step foot inside Cardiff City Stadium while the club plays at home in red. Gutted and betrayed. Liars." (DAILY MAIL, 6/6). Also in London, the BBC reported that the investment plan "hopes to clear the historical debt" to the Langston Corporation, which is represented by former Cardiff Owner Sam Hammam. Negotiations have opened with Hammam and a "fair and reasonable" final offer had been made to the former Cardiff City Chair "in a bid to clear the debts," thought to be around £30M ($46.4M) (BBC, 6/6).
