BEIJING : China-Pakistan's growing socio-economic cooperation will be equally beneficial for giving boost to the agriculture sector, enhancing per acre yield of wheat crop.
Farmers in Pakistan are expecting improved crop yields as field trials conducted by a Chinese State-owned enterprise involving hybrid wheat has yielded impressive results.
Chinas' Sinochem Group Co, which has interests in chemicals and other agriculture-related services, has conducted field trials of hybrid wheat varieties and realized on average 24.4 percent increase in crop yields, according to company officials.
It is also playing an important role in boosting trade ties under the country's innovative Belt and Road Initiative.
"The tests on the hybrid varieties were implemented in 230 sites, spread over 2,000 hectares of land, mostly in experimental bases or local farms," said Chen Zhaobo, general manager of CNSGC Hybrid Wheat Seed (Beijing) Company.
"The good results from the experiments offer bright prospects for large-scale cultivation of hybrid varieties in Pakistan."
The project's local partners said that yields from hybrid wheat varieties rose as much as 50.1 percent from 2017 to 2018 in the northern wheat growing areas and by 45 percent in the central areas.
Wide cultivation of such high-yielding hybrid wheat varieties will provide more options for Pakistan to secure food supply, said Zhang Shengquan, manager of the scientific research department with CNSGC Hybrid Wheat Seed (Beijing) Co.
To develop hybrids that are distinct to Pakistani crop conditions, the company has established a research center in China's Yunnan province, Zhang said.
Compared with China, wheat cultivating areas in Pakistan often suffer from drought and high temperatures.
The company has so far deployed 150 technicians in Pakistan to solve project-related problems and they have traveled nearly 10,000 kilometers and to more than 20 cities, Chen said.
Song Weibo, vice-president of the agriculture business unit at Sinochem and general manager of China National Seed Group Co, said the former will continue its efforts to promote hybrid wheat in Belt and Road-related countries and regions.

An, In Vitro, Study of some Pesticides on the
Activity of Human Serum Paraoxonase (PON1)
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a high density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated
enzyme capable of hydrolyzing diverse substrates from
organophosphate (OP) toxins to oxidized phospholipids. In
this study, the effects of dichlorvos, parathion-methyl,
dimethoate, chlorpyrifos methyl, chlorpyrifos ethyl,
acetamiprid, mancozeb, lufenuron and trifluralin which are
pesticides, were investigated on human serum paraoxonase as
in vitro. While trifluralin, mancozeb and methyl
parathion enhanced the PON activity, lufenuron, dimetoate
and chlorpyrifos methyl and chlorpyrifos ethyl firstly
activated and then they inhibited in the different range of
enzyme activity. It was determined that acetamidine and
dichlorvos were inhibited and the CI50
values of the chemicals caused inhibition were calculated by
means of activity percentage-[I] diagrams. The values of
CI50 were 38,19 mM and 13,49 mM
for PON1 respectively. Changes of PON enzyme's kinetic
parameters were most important during pesticide metabolism,
because pesticides were risk for human health.

by Tony Vindell/LFN
A Mexican national charged with killing an off-duty Border Patrol agent from La Feria was found guilty on a count of capital murder and a second count of attempted murder.
A jury issued its verdict against Gustavo Tijerina Sandoval on Wednesday, May 30 in the 197th State District Court in Brownsville two weeks after the capital murder trial got under way.
Javier Vega Jr., his father and their wives and three youngsters were fishing on Aug 3, 2014 when Tijerina Sandoval and a second man, Ismael Hernandez Vallejo, showed up along a canal about 3 miles east of FM 1420 near the small community of Santa Monica in eastern Willacy County.
Among the witnesses Vega's father and a son who described the day Vega Jr. was gunned down as the two families spending a day fishing on one of their favorites spots in a remote area south of the levee off the farm to market road.
The Vegas live in La Feria.
Tijerina and Hernandez were charged with capital murder of a peace officer, attempted capital murder, four counts of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence.
Tijerina, who faced a count of capital murder and another for attempted murder, is believed to be the man who pulled the trigger on Vega and also hit Vega's father in the hip.
Tijerina was defended by Alfredo Padilla and Nat Perez.
The capital murder trial was held in Judge Migdalia Lopez courtroom and lasted two weeks.
Although the case happened in Willacy County where Lopez has jurisdiction, she filed a change of venue to Cameron County because of so much media coverage.
Hernandez Vallejo' trial is pending and is scheduled to be held in a state district court in Edinburg.
Witnesses were called by the prosecution led by Tom Cloudt with the Attorney General's Office in Austin and Chuck Mattingly with the Willacy County District's Attorney's Office.

NEW: Barcelona in a cocktail shaker.
7 proposals for an afterwork cocktail in Barcelona.
Barcelona hooks your heart, and not only because of summer afternoons, the terraces and the endless sun on the beach. When September comes, it's time to wear a jacket and discover one new spot each day. And, what better way to do that than with a cocktail rhythm?
The cocktail culture reached Barcelona years ago, and it seems to arrive to stay. There are many bars that more and more bet on this service as the differentiating of their offer quality. There are also many professionals that choose Barcelona as their residence in order to develop their career as bartender or directly launch their own bar here.
From some years ago, important brands in the hospitality sector, such as Diageo or Bacardi, organise their competitions, contests and workshops in Barcelona, so the professionalism and creativity level grows up and more and more young people decide to train themselves and start a career on the world of cocktail.
Here you have a selection of bars, from the most elegant to the most casual, where you can enjoy the latest trends of bartending.
Discover with moderation hot spots with good music, international atmosphere and cocktails with name of their own.
They call themselves as emotion suppliers, and they are totally right. In the heart of el Eixample, we find this international cocktail bar icon, that has received many awards and prizes. The bar name is closely linked to its origins, 30 years ago, when they only served Dry Martini. Over the years, they have been modernising its offer until the present day that they provide a varied, innovative and genuine cocktail menu, which proclaims it as the only Spanish bar on the list World's 50 Best Bars.
What appeared to be another typical beach bar in the Barceloneta quarter, has become a must of the city for both locals and visitors. This project starts in 2012 with a wellknown face of the cocktail scene, Andrea Di Gioia, and nowadays it has a fun and professional cocktail menu that makes a review of the classical cocktails. Mr. Clooney, Aberzombie, Grey's Anatomy… are some of the names of its creations. You cannot miss the Makamaka cocktail, where sweet and spicy flavour are mixed perfectly.
At the top of the W Hotel, we find this amazing place many times unknown to Barcelona's people. From its 26th floor, we can discover one of the most exciting views of the city while tasting one of its cocktails made with care by one of the most important bartenders supplier of the city.
With a diverse and professional cocktail menu, Eclipse offers the perfect scene for an afterwork meeting or an informal meeting with friends. The venue opens at 7pm and it is quite peaceful till 11pm when one of its parties starts with the performance of international and national Djs.
Right in the tourist center of Barcelona, in the luxurious Hotel Ohla, we find a corner for harmony and relax. The fine decoration and the peaceful atmosphere pairs perfectly with the careful selection of cocktails, created by international bartenders. Most of the 30 creations that compose its cocktail menu have been awarded in international contests. Without a shadow of doubt, it is the perfect place for a sensory experience into the city's epicentre.
Their motto, "Life is too short to have bad drinks", gives us an idea of the philosophy of this cosy, dark and delicious bar located at the Paseo del Born. They say about themselves that they sell unpretentious cocktails, served with the best smiles and the best music. The truth is that Creps al Bornwill not disappoint. The moment when they create the cocktail becomes an awsome show that gets all the clients excited, and the sweet smell of creps always make the clients hungry. With a fun and international atmosphere, it is the perfect choice for informal evenings.
Le Pop Cocktail Bar (Le Meridien Hotel)
In the middle of Las Ramblas of Barcelona, surrounded by many tourists and visitors, we find a large window from which you can see the crowd of Barcelona center. Le Pop cocktail bar is a friendly and comfortable venue where you can enjoy the best creations provided by experienced international bartenders.
This bar, which is part of the luxury Le Meridien Hotel, seeks to modernise the Cocktail hour, by mixing new rhythms and an avant-garde aesthetics, inspired by the urban artist Bàlu.
Apotheke (Ocaña)
The Plaza Reial of Barcelona is one of the meeting points of the city. This always lively and full of people square is home of some of the most antique and charismatic bars in the Catalan capital.
At one of its sides we find the well known Ocaña Bar, with its majestic café and its huge terrace on the square. You need to go into the Ocaña Bar and discover its charming stairs to explore the Apotheke Cocktail Bar, which satisfy the most demanding palates of the city.
The word Apotheke means pharmacy in German language, and the truth is that this Bar is a real laboratory of aromas, flavours and artisanal liquors. Totally irresistible even to the most abstinent guests!
These are 7 proposals to brighten up the end of a working day. But Barcelona offers many more. Share your favourite ones with us!

While watching Mad Money today, everybody's favorite loudmouth took a call on Nokia. The question was about whether Nokia was an "accidental dividend stock" because it had sold off so much. Jimmy Creamer didn't like it much, mostly because it had just cut it's dividend. (More on that later) When CNBC put up the chart, I was absolutely shocked at how cheap Nokia had gotten. Check out this 5 year chart:
The stock is flirting with the lows of 2009. Is it a buy at these levels?
Why Is It Cheap?
Operations have been tough over the past year. Earnings for fiscal 2009 dropped to a fraction of what they were in past years. The market for handsets was weak, upgrading their cell phone is one thing people can wait to do most of the time. They are also getting their butts kicked in the smartphone market in North America by RIM and Apple, among others.
Industry Outlook
Wireless is hardly going away, with the industry returning to an annualized growth rate of 10% by the end of 2009. Nokia led the way with a market share of 39.1%, down a bit from their usual spot at 40-41%. That decline can be attested to the lack of smartphone sales.
This is the reason why I hate Jim Cramer. Dividends get treated a little differently in Finland as they do in North America. What Nokia's board does is looks at results for the year, then declares an annual dividend. They pay once a year, unlike most North American companies. 2009's dividend was 0.40 Euros.
Balance Sheet
Market cap checks in at a hair over 37 billion. Nokia's book value is $3.77 per share, which means the company trades for 2.63 times book value. The average for the sector is 1.63, however this includes all sorts of other communications stocks. From a quick glance at their direct competitor's balance sheets, (excluding Apple) Nokia does trade at a discount to its peers.
Debt is a bit of an issue for Nokia, currently it sits at a hair above 4 billion. Most of the debt was taken on to finance the acquisition of Siemens last year. Debt is hardly excessive for a company this size.
Earnings (in Euros)
Earnings are not heading in a positive direction. Analysts are expecting earnings of around 90 cents for 2010, putting the company at 11 times forward earnings.
Price Appreciation
As mentioned earlier, the stock is close to levels last seen during the market collapse of 2009. This is easily a 10 year low. An increase in price to the low 20s wouldn't be out of the question, considering the stock spent considerable time at that level over the 2005-08 period, before shooting up to a high of around $40. Upside is a little more than 100%.
Nokia is a dominant player in the global handset market, especially in the fast growing areas of China and India. They are a world class company that stumbled as the handset market slowed. They are getting hammered in the smartphone market by competitors who do an awful good job of making good phones. If they come out with a smartphone that actually catches on in North America, this stock could end up looking like a fantastic bargain at these levels. I put the chances of that pretty low though.
If you're a believer in the Euro continuing to sell off, this will act as an additional lift on the company's bottom line. Every cent the Euro falls against the other currencies, the better it is for Nokia's bottom line. I'm not smart enough to make that call, perhaps you'd like to make a prediction for me.
Nokia may be added to the Uproar Fund when it launches in a couple of weeks. Or it may not. Stay tuned.

Why You Should Have a Content Management System
There are various alternatives towards creating a website for your business. You can choose to do the coding on your own, hire a coder, or make use of a WYSIWYG editor. Although there are more than one option to this, many of the websites make use of a content management system. The reason behind this is because these CMSs offer certain crucial benefits otherwise they would not take over like they do. Before we start to dig deep into the benefits of the system, let us briefly focus on what a CMS is. Far from the name, this systems lets consumers to produce digital content and also control it and this article shows how. The formation management of continent takes place in the back-end or in the handling process of the content. This is what is commonly known as the admin area. Usually, you form the content using a simple text editor. You gain access to the pages, alignment features, content regulator form a sidebar set of choices. Although most website use a CMS, there are various variations of content management systems.
Every software users want to have a software that they can use and navigate naturally. That is why, certain software you won't want to use given an alternative. One of the reason why CMSs are sought after is because they are reasonably User-friendly. The dominant actor in the CMS domain, WordPress, is quite popular among users mainly due to how it easy it is when it comes to navigating. Moreover, content management systems allow you to be involved in the creation process of your website or just seek a web designer to do the task for you.
In the first segment after having a website, you are likely going to generate all or most of the content. And that is not viable. Your website will give you more income as your business grows and this will need more than you creating content; you will have to hire more personnel for that. The good thing with CMSs is that they enable multiple content creators to work on a single project.
You will require an editorial schedule as your content making shifts from you doing it to more people. The work of the schedule or cleaner is to make sure you strike a balance between relevance and appeal. Unfortunately, at times your content may get lost. CMSs gives you the space to input content at any time and have it published at the desired time.
There is always a threat of your information getting into the wrong hands whether in large or small business. Security of your website, therefore, should a factor to be looked at keenly. With a CMS, security is enhanced as features are installed into the software. The features like login pages, settings for user permission and others provide long-term safety.

Preferential prescribing of type of combined oral contraceptive pill by general practitioners to teenagers with acne.
This data was imported from PubMed:
Authors: Rowlands, S., Devalia, H. and Lawrenson, R.
Journal: Eur J Contracept Reprod Health Care
Volume: 6
Issue: 1
Pages: 9-13
OBJECTIVES: To determine the oral contraceptive prescribing patterns of general practitioners for teenagers in the UK and any preferential prescribing for those with acne. METHOD: The General Practice Research Database was used in a retrospective observational study. Records of females aged 13-19 years were examined for the years 1994 and 1997. RESULTS: In 1994, third-generation pills were widely prescribed, whereas, in 1997, levonorgestrel pills were most commonly prescribed. In those with a recent history of acne, the most commonly prescribed single product was one containing cyproterone acetate. CONCLUSION: General practitioners appear to favor cyproterone acetate-containing pills for those with acne; this proclivity became more pronounced after the pill scare. General practitioners had all but ceased using third-generation pills in 1997, even when there was a therapeutic indication.

This article is about the location. For the moment, see The Cupboard Under the Stairs
The Cupboard Under the Stairs is Harry Potter's bedroom at the Dursleys. Only when he finally gets his Hogwarts acceptance letter do they give him a proper bedroom, the Smallest Bedroom.
The Cupboard Under the Stairs is first discovered in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, The Vanishing Glass, "The Cupboard Under the Stairs".
| Harry sleeps in a cupboard under the stairs at number four, Privet Drive, until the week of his eleventh birthday. Whenever the Dursleys notice anything strange happening around Harry, he is usually punished with long stretches of time confined to this cupboard. The small, cramped space is dark and full of spiders.
When strange letters start appearing addressed to Harry in his cupboard, the Dursleys move Harry to the smallest bedroom in the house.

ON AIR - Main Breakfast News
The President of the Drogheda and District Chamber of Commerce is advising members of the public to be aware of bogus collectors operating in the town.
Paddy Callaghan has told LMFM News that it has come to his attention that the problem doesn't stop there.
He says some collectors have permits but are working for homeless charities in other parts of the country and are travelling to Drogheda to raise money.
He claims this is misleading some members of the public as they don't realise that they are donating money for a homeless organisation outside of Drogheda.

Car Tires:Best Way to Maintain Them
As a car owner, you know that the tires are the most important thing you should be taking care of. Many though have not realized this due to so many things going on around them. By maintaining your car, you will really benefit a great advantage from it because you will not have to worry about your car breaking down or getting it fixed. If you are one who travel a lot, then follow the tips below on having your car maintenance.
Buying the perfect tire that fits all the features of your car is the tire you must purchase. The braking, steering, and acceleration are all controlled on the tired, and that is why it is important that choosing the right tired for your car is crucial.
Sooner or later, we all know that tires are not permanent and that they are needed to be replaced because they will melt due to the friction of the road and tires. You should have some knowledge about your tires' tread because it will need to be changed when it has reached its depth because this tread is what hold your tired on the ground. In order to protect yourself and others on board your car, remember to change your tired if you start to notice that your tread has almost reached its limit and needs changing.
Another thing a car owner should have maintained is the pressure of your car's tire. With the right pressure on your car, you are assured that you can pretty much take good control of your car. If you live in a place where temperature changes from time to time, your car will lose air and that could be a big problem and that it why you need to have your tire pressure maintained. Look into your car manual to see if you have the right pressure on your tires.
Another thing a car owner should take into consideration is the wheel's balancing and alignment. With the proper wheel balance, your tires will have no problem on the vibrations it will go through like going on rough roads. When you have decided on when to buy new set of tires for your car, then that is that time you have to get your tires balanced and aligned as well.
It is hard to tell if your car is aligned properly or not. An expert is what you will need to contact to examine your car and check whether your wheels are in proper alignment. Looking for someone who has good reviews on maintaining a car is one you should hire to keep your tires in good shape.

Bath's crystal ball....

Bath's crystal ball....

'Offensive' shoe boxes? Baah humbug!
It is one of the most cherished Christmas traditions that at this time of the year we try to think of people less fortunate than ourselves.
That is why, even with all the frantic spending that people do at Christmas, they can usually still find time to support the many charities that go into overdrive with street collections and appeals throughout our town centres.
It is, after all, the season of goodwill to all men – but not everybody, it seems, admires every charitable act on offer.
In the Chronicle this week we feature a letter which we have given considerable space to (out of respect of the writer's opinion) which I really do feel is wrong on many levels.
It has been a tradition for a number of years in this office – and others I have worked at as well as schools that my family members have attended – to encourage people to fill a shoe box full of goodies to send to needy children throughout the world.
The biggest such shoe box organisation is called Operation Christmas Child and they have so far managed to present boxes full of toys, sweets and a genuine dollop of seasonal love to some 60 million boys and girls in just under 20 years.
That is a truly remarkable, inspiring figure and the genuine enthusiasm that we see from people – including very small children – towards supporting this cause is one of those Christmas traditions I hope will stay around for a long time.
But of course you could always wonder what actually happens when those lovingly put together boxes leave your home and head abroad. So, this year, one of our young reporters, Dena Cook, volunteered to join the group who were distributing many of the thousands of boxes from Bath & Wiltshire to see the effect our little bit of charity work has on people.And if the effect is the same as the one it had on Dena, then I'm sure it was humbling.
We saw Dena the day after she returned at our Christmas party and she found it difficult to talk about anything other than what she'd seen. The poverty she encountered in Serbia took her by surprise but she was hugely moved by the genuine appreciation shown by the young recipients as they received their boxes of British love.
Today, however, one of our letter writers opposite portrays Operation Christmas Child as being 'extremely worrying' and 'offensive' and criticises us for giving it such positive publicity.
The writer's considered and well-thought out argument is that Operation Christmas Child is a Christian charity which has Christian aims. She quotes from a website that says this means that they are using the appeal to evangelise to young, vulnerable children throughout the world.
I will leave the fact that evangelism is not actually a crime to one side but would state categorically that our reporter (who is not a Christian) says she saw no evidence whatsoever of any attempt by the organisers to 'convert' those receiving gifts. The young children – most of whom couldn't even speak English – were not there for Sunday school teaching, they were there to receive a gift of love donated to them by people thousands of miles away. These boxes were donated by people of all faiths (and none) and delivered to children of all faiths (and none). There was nothing 'sinister' going on here and all those involved deserve respect not condemnation.
So, and it seems especially poignant as this time of the year, I think we should acknowledge and support everyone for their charity work – and yes, that very much includes those men and women of faith. If it is Christians organising charities like this then I say good for them – they are after all merely enacting the basic Christian message that we love each other.
Of course a small box is only going to give a temporary respite to a needy child but as the advert says 'every little helps'. And, according to Dena, help it really did. Those boxes gave hope where there had previously been none.
So, I for one say well done to everyone from this remarkable charity – and to everyone in the Bath region who has generously supported their work. May they continue to do so for a long time.
Happy Christmas.

Why sat navs are naughty - but nice
I suspect that this time next week many people (mostly men) will be opening their Christmas presents and discovering that they have been bought that wonderful new piece of technology we call the 'sat nav'.
I have been the owner of three of these modern day miracles over the past couple of years and heartily recommend them as a very good present indeed.
Those of you who are new to a satellite navigation system will soon discover that these clever little machines are just like small children – when they're good they are very good but when they are bad, they can be awful. Allow me to give you a recent, pertinent example.
Last Thursday I attended a very enjoyable meal with my colleagues from our excellent newspapers, the Somerset Standard and the Somerset Guardian. The meal was in Buckland Dinham, somewhere I thought I knew pretty well and the venue (The Bell) was the same as for last year's meal so finding it shouldn't have been a problem. However, as is often the case for those of us who live by deadlines, I was running late.
If I went my 'normal' route I thought I may arrive a few minutes after the first course had been served so I decided to do what I have done on a number of other occasions and put on my sat nav in the hope that he/she (yes we do tend to personalise them), would know an alternative, quicker route to get me to the soup on time. I did this because there have been instances in the past where my sat nav has shown me hitherto undiscovered routes to get where I would normally go and thus I tend to trust its judgement.
So, I put the words Buckland Dinham into my sat nav, popped a CD into the player and waited for my sat nav to surprise me. Well it did – it surprised me by doubling (or was that tripling?) my journey time and nearly taking me to the fine city of Wells. Needless to say, the soup ended up being poured away.
You may wonder why I just didn't give up when I realised my mechanical map was taking me in the wrong direction but the truth is, as every sat nav user will testify, they do on occasions take you what appears to be 'off road' but ultimately still get you where you want to be quicker than you imagined. So, on my tortuous drive through the dark streets of Somerset, I kept abusing my sat nav (and yes you do tend to do that), but I still secretly thought it had a cunning plan up its sleeve. I ignored the voices in my head that said 'this sat nav is an idiot' and ploughed on regardless until the thought that I probably wouldn't get my main course in Wells Cathedral overtook me and I just abandoned my electrical assistance and went, as I should have done in the first place – by 'my' route.
I could relate other instances of the previously unknown condition of 'sat nav rage' (for instance, once in London it told me to turn right at a point which would have made me plough into a shop window), but the truth is, just like the small child I mentioned earlier, these amazing little gizmos do come up trumps far more often than they let you down. As well as usually getting you places ahead of time and keeping you informed of your progress every step of the way, they are also a pleasant companion as you are travelling along. As I get into a car before a big journey I often say say soothing words like "don't let me down today" and I have been known to actually thank my moving map at the end of a stress-free trip.
So if you do unwrap a sat nav next week then I hope it goes on to give you plenty of happy driving experiences and becomes a real friend in the car.
But please don't ask it to take you to Buckland Dinham . . .

Confessions of a failed sports fan
It struck me on Sunday night that if I could just change one tiny letter in a description of myself it would make my life so much more complete. All I would need to do is substitute the letter 'm' for the letter 'f' in the following sentence; Sam Holliday is a great sports fan.
The reason this thought hit me at the weekend was because I was invited to attend the fantastic BBC (at-its-best) Sports Personality of the Year Awards for the west area, held at the University of Bath. I shared the same room with Olympic medallists, great footballers, some of the biggest names in rugby and racing and many of our greatest Paralympians as we honoured what has been an incredible year of sporting achievement by local people.
And if ever you needed proof of just how highly our city is regarded in the sporting world, the commendable decision to host these prestigous awards at our brilliant TeamBath campus said it all.
But, rather like being asked to judge the final of the world's sexiest man, I couldn't help but feel somewhat inadequate in the presence of such masters of their art, and I did drive home thinking miserably about my own bumbling sporting 'pedigree'.
OK, so I did manage to play for my school at rugby (I was one of those big guys desperately trying to hide from the action in the second row) but football was my true love and in this particular sporting field the word 'Failure' has been stamped very clearly on my life report. I would love to have been an accomplished footballer but only one small thing held me back – talent.
Despite the fact that in all truth my two left feet both had left feet, I was always desperate to play the game whenever I could, and I thought I had my big break at the age of just 21 when I was invited to be the player-manager of a struggling Sunday league outfit.
I was, at the time, the sports editor of my local paper and I think I was asked because some people fell for that old (and sadly misguided) idea that because you write about sport you might actually have an idea how to play it. (If you want further proof of this absolutely NOT being the case, you are welcome to visit our sports desk any day you wish!)
But, when offered a player- manager's role I ignored the voice in my head that said 'don't' and went for it. After all it worked for Dalglish, Gullit and Hoddle for a while, so why not me? Surely this was my chance to shine as a boss like my huge hero Brian Clough (pictured above)? The way I saw it, I could now pick myself for every game, I could play whatever position I wanted and my hitherto undiscovered ball skills would (finally) be realised and appreciated by the unsuspecting public.
The reality was being player-manager meant all I had to do was get all the hassle, pay everybody else's subs and (worse of all), not even get a place in the staring X1 because my fellow players vetoed me out of it.I am as sick as a parrot to admit it was a total nightmare.
Of course, this doesn't mean I won't keep yearning for a change in my fortunes and unlike many famous footballers/rugby players (Josh Lewsey being the latest this week), I will never officially resign from international sport.
Just in case.

Bath's women do the business!
Well on Friday I went to the Bath Spa Hotel and to misquote Darius, I felt "there is so much talent in this room" as I helped to present prizes at the Bath Business Women's Associations first ever annual awards.
I already knew I was in the presence of some formidably talented ladies as I helped to judge the competition which gave some of Bath's brightest and most innovative business women a change to shine.
I have been lucky enough over the years to judge many competitions - from pet shows to beauty pageants - and it is never easy to pick winners from a lot of deserving cases and this instance was particularly difficult as Bath and surrounding areas has a multitude of very talented female business leaders covering a wide variety of different professions.
From photographers to life coaches and from magicians to undertakers, we saw a plethora of top class entries and to just pick a handful of award winners was not easy.
In the end however, I'm sure all the judges felt as I did that we had chosen a pretty impressive group of winners including Celia Mannings, Tessa Kirby, Beverley Lee, Amanda Farrell, the multi-faceted and multi-talented Loraine Morgan-Brinkhurst and our overall winner, the much admired and thoroughly deserving victor, funeral director Carol Spalding.
All the winners were on hand to receive their awards at the Bath Spa Hotel in one of the best conducted and enjoyable awards dinners I've been to. This owed much to the hard work of the Bath Business Women's Association's committee (pictured above) - chaired this year by the lovely Alice Ellis who I usually only see in her Stocking Tops! - and of course the Fab! team who are so good at these kind of events. Their input was not only via their excellent organisational skills but they also had the ever charming and enthusiastic Julie Cooper, herself deservedly shortlisted for a top award.
So a splendid afternoon was had by all and it was proof, if ever proof was needed, that Bath has a formidable amount of top quality women in business.

Telling the world (well, Bath!!) about our blogs
If you are here because you actually read that article - which is of course about blogging - then welcome aboard!!!!
Please click left to follow the blog...
At the Chronicle we pride ourselves on being very innovative and ahead of the game. As you may be aware, we were the first newspaper in Britain (and possibly much further afield than that) to convert from being a paid-for daily title to a paid-for weekly one.
Our reward for such imagination is that we were made the Newspaper of the Year last week as you may have seen elsewhere on this blog. (I am pictured above picking up the award with my deputy Paul Wiltshire - on the left - and the President of the Newspaper Society Michael Pelosi in the centre).
However, this week our latest innovation isn't something that has made us the first in the world because there are already an estimated, ahem, 112 million people who have got there ahead of us.
For this week I and my Chronicle colleagues have finally entered the curious world of the blogosphere.
We have today unveiled on our website six different blogs written by staff members at the Chronicle including of course this one. I aim to use the blog not only to put all of my printed columns/comments online but also to write things during the course of the week about events or people within the city I would like to talk about.
I do hope some of you may get the chance to pop in to all the Chronicle blogs at http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/blogs.html.
Of course, getting noticed in blogsville is hard in reality as there is a blog (and blogging genre) for just about every subject imaginable – and many you probably couldn't imagine in the first place. Just a bit of ferreting around enabled me to discover the following type of blogs – linklogs, tumblelogs, phlogs, moblogs, spamblogs, bananablogs, warblogs and sketchblogs And trust me, only one of those is invented. (It's bananas by the way!!)
Of course (as ever), by hosting these blogs the internet is only replicating what we've always done in 'real' life. Diary writing in print has been a tradition in this country for centuries and has spawned many classic pieces of work. It also spawned many lesser works of great art (!) such as my own rambling diaries which I enthusiastically kept between the ages of 15 and 23.
On the rare occasions I flick through those yellowing pages, I'm really glad I didn't succumb to the temptation to throw them away as I got older because they really do offer a unique insight into a period of your life.
The last time I dipped into them I was amazed at both how much and, conversely, how little I had changed.
Many of the opinions I had at the age of 16 or 17 have stayed with me, but at other times, I read words I had written about the person I was and wondered 'just who is this guy?'
So, as I now enter the blogosphere, I hope it will act as a modern-day diary of my life in and around the city which I'll be able to look back on with the same fondness as I now regard The Secret Diaries Of Sam Holliday Age 17 3/4.
Happy blogging.

The winners - including TWO men called Paul Wiltshire!
I say 'smile' but I have a decidely strange look on my face (I am seated second left). They say the camera doesn't lie but perhaps it can be economical with the truth?
Failing that I just look odd.
Incidentally I am in what can only be described as a 'Paul Wiltshire sandwich'. Due to very bad planning both our ad director and our deputy editor are called Paul Wiltshire which makes life very confusing.
Paul Wiltshire is pictured left.
And right.
Also seated is our MD Sarah Irvine. Rumours she is planning to change her name to Paul Wiltshire are being hotly denied......

The best in Britain!
Along with my deputy editor Paul Wiltshire and three of our colleagues from our sister papers in Clevedon and Weston we made the mammoth trek 'up north' to attend the Newspaper Society's annual Weekly Newspaper Awards. We had entered the Chronicle into the section of 'Best Paid For Weekly Title in the South West and Wales' and would have been thrilled just to win that competitive award - but what do you know, we did even better!
For, after duly winning that regional title - against great newspapers like The North Devon Journal and The Western Gazette - we were then automatically shortlisted for the overall national title. And what do you know (again) - we won that too. So the Bath Chronicle is now officially the best weekly newspaper in Britain.
Without trying to sound too smug (what do you mean too late for that mate), I have to say it feels fantastic.
I know that awards are sometimes more important to your own industry than to the public at large but anything that puts Bath in the forefront nationally should get all our votes. And because of what we did last night the country now knows that as well as having the best city in the UK we also have THE best newspaper.
I am delighted for all my fellow staff members in every department here in Chronicle Towers who have made this happen. It is a tribute to them all - and also a tribute to all our readers for their loyalty since switching from daily production. Hopefully they can all feel smug as well for helping us achieve this goal.
Not even Billy Bremner had that much fun in Leeds.

The wonder of Woolies. . . .
At a time of deepening economic gloom to lose one of the best known and best loved names from our High Streets is very worrying - especially as it nationally employs 25,000 loyal staff members who have worked hard to keep 'the wonder of Woolies' alive for so many years, not least in our own local store in Moreland Road.
Like most people I guess I have very fond memories of this great store which was once an invaluable source of records, books, paper, endless cheap and cheerful presents and toys and of course the somewhat brand-defining Pic n Mix. It is a store which in my mind is tinged with happy memories and one for which I have enormous respect.
Sadly, however, the last time I popped into Woolies I had a horrible sense that it was a shop that was living on those memories and simply hadn't moved with the times. It was not just that it felt as if it hadn't entered the 21st century - it almost felt like it hadn't even left the 1970s. Other shops were doing what it once excelled in better (and even sometimes cheaper) and the store felt tired even though the enthusiasm and energy of the staff was as high as ever.
I hope even at this late stage that something might be done to save this great store chain which seems a real part of the British shopping experience even if it is (perhaps surprisingly) an American brand.
Let us all hope Woolies can 'pic' itself up and 'mix' with the big shops again.
Saturday night TV mania
Have you ever wondered how your life would be described if you were deemed sufficiently important to warrant an obituary in our leading national newspapers?
You would, no doubt, want to be remembered for your greatest achievements – the things that really mattered in your life.
Here for example is a potential 'obit' of someone who has done an awful lot in his life, someone who would clearly deserve many column inches in all our leading papers.
This man is regarded as one of the foremost journalists of his generation. Educated at Oxford, he went on to be an outstanding reporter working in 25 different countries – many of them war torn – before becoming a distinguished political journalist which saw him present Today and The World At One. He then graduated to the biggest, most prestigious reporting job in British political journalism – that of the BBC's chief political correspondent. If that wasn't enough, he then joined rivals ITN as their political editor. What a CV.
But it means nothing.
For on the day that a certain John Sergeant goes to visit the great politician in the sky, I envisage that the first paragraph of his obituary will talk about a time he toodled around the ballroom stage rather than on the Westminster one. For, as we all know, Mr Sergeant walked out on hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing last week prompting more headlines, debate and column inches than most of the hugely important political stories he covered in his distinguished career.
The sheer scale of the publicity caused by John's decision to throw in the top hat and tails is, to me, indicative of the fact that the whole country seems to be rediscovering its love of television – and in particular Saturday night television.
When I was growing up my favourite children's programme was the delightfully anarchic Tiswas starring a somewhat less cynical Chris Tarrant, Lenny Henry, Spit the Dog and the delectable Sally James. For those that don't know, Tiswas stood for 'Today Is Saturday, Watch And Smile' and that is certainly how people seem to be reacting now to the pleasantly old-fashioned Saturday night onslaught of TV light entertainment that hits us from the end of the football results until Match of the Day.
If my family are anything to go by – and I rather suspect they are – last Saturday night was a continual stream of Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, I'm A Celebrity, X Factor results plus ITV2 or BBC2 post-show discussions. The surprising thing about this Saturday night feast is how universally appealing it has become.
People who I wouldn't imagine for a second would have the slightest bit of interest in dancing have confessed to me that they are avid 'Strictly' fans, music fans who normally regard even Mozart as a 'bit commercial' are 'fessing-up' to being X Factor devotees and people of all ages seem to be revelling in the jungle antics of the likes of Robert Kilroy-Silk and the truly appalling David Van Day.What is actually quite nice about all this – and one of the reasons why I think this relatively easy entertainment has started to mean so much to so many – is that it takes all our minds away from the increasingly depressing news we hear, day in, day out.
The savage effects of the credit crunch are already being felt by the minority (and the majority also feel nervous that it is just around the corner for them as well) so to be able to lose yourself for a few hours at least in watching Rachel Stevens do her foxtrot, JLS attempt to sing a Take That song or even an ex-member of the EastEnders cast being asked to eat the penis of a kangaroo can be a helpful (if disturbing) distraction.
In fact, thinking about it, maybe I am wrong about Mr Sergeant. With the news being so depressing maybe he will be pleased that his future obit writers will remember him as a man who brought a smile to our face as he dragged his partner around the stage rather than as a deliverer of the nightly gloom.
Happy viewing folks.

An improved technique is presented for the "in-vivo" determination of thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and perfusion using a self-heated spherical thermistor probe. In the presence of flow, solution of the time-dependent, probe-tissue coupled thermal model allows the measurement of "effective" thermal conductivity and "effective" thermal diffusivity, which represent the thermal properties of the perfused tissue. Perfusion can be quantified from both "effective" thermal properties. In the presence of flow, it has been shown that the transient power response does not follow t −1/2 as has been previously assumed. An isolated rat liver preparation has been developed to validate the measurement technique. Radioactive microspheres are used to determine the true perfusion from the total collected hepatic vein flow. Experimental data demonstrates the ability to quantify perfusion in small volumes of tissue.

Episode 8 - The One That Got Away
While Macky and the girls are minding the shop, a petty thief steals a silver fish with vital information to the rebel movement engraved on it. Can the gang get the fish back? Through their adventures and retelling of the Bible stories — Peter and John heal a lame man and Shadrach and the Furnace — we learn the importance of doing right and keeping true.
Episode 9 - Doing Our Part
It's Purim time, and while Macky, Sollie and the kids act out the Bible story of brave Queen Esther, Diana too shows courage as she tries to lead destitute refugees through the dangerous streets, and recounts the tale of Joseph of Cyprus (Barnabas) to her Roman jailor. Through our friends' exploits and the retelling of these stories, we understand how important it is to be brave, and to be generous.

Aera, GlassPoint to build state's largest solar project
Kern County produces more renewable energy than any other county in California.
In 2011, the Kern County Board of Supervisors established a goal to have 10,000 megawatts of renewable energy permitted by 2015.
According to the county's reporting last year, the county had exceeded that goal by permitting more than 11,000 megawatts of all types and sizes of renewable energy resources. More than $28 billion has been invested in the county by companies that are developing renewable energy projects.
The California Energy Commission reported in December 2016 that both incorporated and unincorporated areas of Kern County had 142 wholesale renewable projects online, with a total generating capacity of 5,293 megawatts. In addition, there are more than 24,000 distributed generation systems, such as rooftop solar systems that are capable of providing up to 305 megawatts of capacity, installed at homes and buildings in the county.
Also, there are 25 solar PV projects, with a combined capacity of 1,540 megawatts, and 12 wind energy projects, with a combined capacity of 1,519 megawatts, with environmental permits in the county that could become operational in the future.
Just a few years ago, solar was barely a blip on the screen when it came to computing California's energy production. In 2010, only about 15 percent of the state's power plants generated electricity from renewable sources. And those sources were mostly wind and geothermal. Solar generated less than one-half of 1 percent.
Today, renewable energy sources generate about 27 percent, with solar accounting for 10 percent. The solar figure does not include the hundreds of thousands of rooftop solar systems that produce an additional 4 percent. The contribution of solar continues to grow mainly because its production costs are plummeting as the result of the declining cost of solar panels. The efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity also is increasing.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average cost of using solar to power residential, commercial and utility-scale projects declined 73 percent between 2010 and 2016. The cost today is about 5 to 6 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is the amount needed to light a 100-watt bulb for 10 hours.
In the midst of the state's solar energy boom comes word that Bakersfield-based Aera Energy, one of California's largest oil and gas producers, and GlassPoint Solar, the leading supplier of solar energy for the oil and gas industry, are combining forces to build California's largest solar energy project.
Located in the Belridge oilfield, about 35 miles west of Bakersfield, the integrated solar project will be the first of its kind in the world to use solar steam and solar electricity to power oil field operations, while reducing the field's air polluting carbon emissions. Ground will be broken on the 770-acre project in 2019, with production of steam and energy expected to begin in 2020.
According to the project's proponents, the Belridge Solar project will deliver the largest peak energy output of any solar plant in California.
"Aera is committed to safe, responsible operations and is thrilled to extend our environmental leadership by using solar to power our production. Adding solar energy at Belridge allows us to continue to lead the way in the safest, most environmentally responsible energy extraction there is," said Aera Energy President and CEO Christina Sistrunk in a news release last fall.
Belridge Solar will consist of an 850-megawatt solar thermal facility, producing 12 million barrels of steam per year, and a 26.5-megawatt photovoltaic facility that will generate electricity. The solar-generated steam and electricity will reduce the use of natural gas in the oilfield's operations.
The facility is projected to save more than 376,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, offsetting the equivalent of 80,000 cars, or more than one-third of the cars on the road in Bakersfield today. The project is also expected to create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in California's oil and gas supply chain and supporting industries. An estimated 500 jobs alone are expected to be created during the plant's construction.
"GlassPoint is thrilled to partner with Aera to scale our solar oilfield technology in California and deliver meaningful carbon reductions. By harnessing the power of the sun to produce oil, oil operators can efficiently reduce emissions using advanced technology, creating long-term benefits for the local economy and environment," said Sanjeev Kumar, GlassPoint senior vice president, Americas. "Our partnership with Aera demonstrates the growing energy convergence where renewables and traditional energy leaders are working together to address some of the biggest challenges of our time."
GlassPoint's enclosed-trough solar technology provides low-cost renewable energy for extracting heavy oil, which accounts for half of California's crude oil production. Heavy oil is produced by injecting steam into the reservoir to heat the oil so it can be pumped to the surface.
The process, known as thermal-enhanced oil recovery, typically generates steam using natural gas. By harnessing the sun's thermal energy to replace the combustion of natural gas, GlassPoint is enabling Aera to reduce its energy consumption and carbon footprint at Belridge, according to a company news release.
In 2011, GlassPoint unveiled its first commercial project with Berry Petroleum in Kern County. Following the success of the pilot project, GlassPoint built a project in Oman and currently is building Miraah, a project with Petroleum Development Oman that will produce more than 1 gigawatt of peak thermal energy. It is expected to be one of the world's largest solar plants of any kind.
The World Economic Forum recently recognized GlassPoint as a 2016 Technology Pioneer for its role in enabling more economical and sustainable oil production.

Free Hardcore Clip: Lola at Your Service w/ Anissa Kate
Lola at Your Service is pure Dorcel, and I love it.
If, by chance, you're not familiar with the Marc Dorcel brand, this is a good place to start.
As silly as it may sound to many of you, I'm relatively new to the Marc Dorcel universe. See, I'm American (try not to hold that against me too much). And for reasons I can't quite explain, the brand never caught on in the States, at least while I lived there.
Imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to see movies like Lola at Your Service and a host of others that rival or exceed the quality of pretty much everything America produces.
In the clip, you get a snippet of Anissa Kate, (arguably Europe's most important active star) getting her bum poked as her mistress looks on with a sense of smugness. Which makes sense. If Anissa Kate were having her asshole drilled out over on Malte, my office mate's, desk, I might look pretty fucking smug too. I guess the only difference would be that the front of my blue jeans might be looking a bit soiled.
The full cast list of Lola at Your Service includes Ariel Rebel, Lola Reve, Szilvia Lauren, Mike Angelo, and Renato.
Anyway, enjoy the clip and head over the Your Choice Web Shop to get your own copy now.

A common misconception, when it comes to translation, is that people who speak a foreign language can translate any text of any level, and provide results comparable to the ones produced by a translator. It is true that to the uninitiated, there should be no difficulty in transposing thoughts, ideas, and facts into other languages.
However, this is not the case. Translation is not about replacing source language text with target language text, thus devaluating and neglecting the source text. After all, translation becomes all the more prerequisite in the modern world, and the concept of leaving translation to amateurs is more and more of a challenge.
A translator is a professional, a mediator between cultures, not just an interlinguistic service provider.
The role of the translator, as such, puts him or her in the rare and privileged position of not only translating but also localizing the message conveyed and communicated. After all, and despite the equivalence suggested by bilingual dictionaries, it is known that people do not say precisely the same things in different languages.
Therefore, it is of paramount importance that a translator undergoes translation studies, that define and strengthen his or her linguistic capacities and provide intercultural awareness, making translation an academic discipline and a professional field. No modern translation studies curriculum can deny the importance of Cultural translation and Cultural studies. And it should become clear that the activity of translation has been widely practiced throughout history, nevertheless, it is lately that its scientific boundaries have been set.
Furthermore, a translator should be fully aware of his or her role as a mediator. A translator does more than conveying the message of the source text. He or she is a scientist, providing localization in a global world. He or she is at the same time an artist, weaving the text, helping the different cultures to approach one another, avoiding word-for-word translation, and preserving all the information provided, taking into consideration its context.
So, no, even though my nephew knows English, he cannot do the translation, because he is no translator. And although the translation is a technical act, an acquired skill, it is also something far and beyond than rewriting. As societies develop, languages also develop over time. Words change their significance and it is the job of a translator to capture and to render that, bringing significance into every context.

Decking Installation in SpixworthDecking, Garden, Domestic
As spring finally blossoms and the weather begins to warm, many are venturing back into their gardens and getting ready for the summer. Our customers in Spixworth were eager to get their garden shipshape for spring and hired us to update their decking area.
There was existing decking in place. However, the framework was rotten and in need of replacing. The wrong materials had been used on the previous job which we discovered as we removed the structure and cleared the area. We use the correct timber, pressure treated, to ensure that water won't rot the construction – a consideration that's especially important in decking that's so close to the ground.
The new framework we built was made to incorporate existing features such as the pergola, palm trees and plants and was designed to provide level access from the patio doors. The full width decking area extends on one side with a step down to the lawn, accommodating the uneven ground level without obstruction.
We stained the timber a lovely dark warm walnut shade and installed LED lighting along the outer edge and around the step. The lights were installed perfectly central to the planks and flush to the height to prevent any trip hazards and give a polished appearance.
Do you need a garden makeover? Get in touch with our team for a free quote and see how we can transform your decking, fencing, shed, summerhouse or patio!
We use pressure-treated timber and make everything to measure, providing exactly what is needed without compromise, to budget and with a fifteen-year timber guarantee. For homeowners or house builders, we provide all your garden construction needs.

Last year Belfast Zoo travelled back in time to the Blitz era, as filming took place onsite for 'Zoo', a movie based on one of Northern Ireland's most famous war-time stories. Zoo is based on the true story of Belfast Zoo's 'elephant angel'. During World War II, the Ministry of Public Security issued a directive that all dangerous animals should be destroyed. This was to ensure public safety, in case the animals escaped if the zoo was damaged by German air raids. On 19 April 1941, Mr A McClean (head of the Air Raid Protection Section) enlisted the help of Constable Ward, from the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and Sergeant E U Murray, of the Home Guard. A total of 33 animals were shot, including hyaena, wolves, a puma, a tiger, a black bear, polar bears, a lynx, racoons and a vulture. During this time Sheila, a baby elephant, was protected and taken to the backyard of the North Belfast terraced home of zoo keeper, Denise Weston Austin. Here Denise comforted and cared for the young elephant as the bombs rained down upon Belfast. When head zoo keeper, Dick Foster, left work in the evening, Denise took Sheila from her enclosure, walked her the short distance to her house at 278 Whitewell Road and walked her back up to the zoo in the morning. It seemed zoo staff did not know about this arrangement until Sheila chased a dog into a neighbour's garden, breaking the fence. Sheila remained in the zoo after her evening activity was discovered. However, Denise's fondness for the elephant continued and she visited Sheila in the zoo at night, during the air raids, rubbing her ears to keep her calm. In 'Zoo', the story is seen through the eyes of a 12 year old boy named Tom who, with the help of his friends, tries to save 'Buster' the elephant. Check out the trailer and see how many of our animals you can spot or find out more about our 'elephant angel' story and the inspiration behind the film at The Zoo | Our elephant angel "
