at Tottenham. Following a period of coaching a variety of age groups within the Tottenham Academy set-up, McKenna was placed in charge of Tottenham Hotspur's under-18s side. During his tenure at Tottenham, McKenna guided the under-18s to the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup in 2015. He departed just a year after his appointment as under-18s manager at Tottenham, having accepted the opportunity to serve the same role for Tottenham’s Premier League rivals Manchester United. Manchester United On 29 August 2016, it was confirmed that McKenna was to leave his role at Tottenham to join the academy set-up at Manchester United, becoming the club's under-18s manager. In his second season in charge of the under-18s, McKenna guided Manchester United to the Premier League Northern Division title. On 1 July 2018, along with former United player Michael Carrick, McKenna was promoted to replace Rui Faria as José Mourinho's assistant manager, ahead of the forthcoming Premier League season. Mourinho left United on 18 December 2018, and was replaced the next day by club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who was appointed as caretaker manager. Despite reports suggesting that the managerial change would result in the recruitment of a new coaching team, both McKenna and Carrick retained their positions under Solskjær.

McKenna took charge of his first game as Ipswich manager on 29 December 2021, winning 1–0 against Wycombe Wanderers at Portman Road. Reception Following McKenna’s arrival as Manchester United's under-18s manager, Indy Boonen, who was a teenage player for United at the time, praised McKenna, stating, "He changed everything. The way we trained was how the opponent played on the Saturday. If you played against West Brom, you trained how they are and focused on their weaknesses." Jim Magilton, the Irish Football Association's elite performance director, agreed with Boonen's appraisal of McKenna, commenting, "He is a meticulous planner yet every session is spontaneous. Nothing is set in stone. He adjusts the session to how the players are and gets what he wants out of the session. Everything is linked and game related. Nothing is for show – it has to be about the game." Personal life Since his childhood, McKenna has been a supporter of Manchester United, with reports claiming that his love for the club persuaded his decision to leave Tottenham Hotspur for the Red Devils in 2016.

Prime Minister wants to recognise marriage in the tax system .
Both George Osborne and Nick Clegg are against the idea .
Allowing stay-at-home spouse to transfer allowance save £150-a-year . | By . Tim Shipman . PUBLISHED: . 10:03 EST, 26 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:38 EST, 26 April 2013 . David Cameron, pictured today, is determined to push the policy through . David Cameron could publish plans to . introduce a tax break for married couples as early as November, . according to senior Downing Street sources. The Prime Minister yesterday confirmed . that he would definitely recognise marriage in the tax system before . the general election in 2015. And a senior figure insisted Mr . Cameron is prepared to overrule Chancellor George Osborne, who has . repeatedly blocked the early introduction of the measure as many Tory . MPs would like. ‘The Prime Minister is the First Lord . of the Treasury,’ the senior figure said, pointing out that Mr Cameron . is in ultimate charge of tax measures. A No 10 official said the measure . would be introduced in either an autumn statement or a budget, meaning . the pledge could be fulfilled when the Chancellor makes his next . announcement in November. A pledge to recognise marriage in the . tax system was included in the Coalition agreement three years ago but . Mr Osborne has refused to include it in any of his budgets or autumn . statements since. Mr Cameron was asked during a local . election campaign drive in Carlisle yesterday if he still intends to go . ahead with his plans for the measure. He said: ‘Yes I do, we set them out at . the last election in the Conservative manifesto. 'The Coalition . agreement specifically said that while the Liberal Democrats don’t agree . with them they would abstain if we promoted them and that’s exactly . what we’ll do before the end of this Parliament.’ Asked if it will be . this year he added: ‘It will be before the end of this Parliament.’ Chancellor George Osborne and Deputy PM Nick Clegg are both thought to be against using the tax system to recognise marriage . But the ConservativeHome website . reported yesterday that ‘on tax breaks for marriage, there are signals . that the policy will be implemented, perhaps as early as the autumn’. Tory MPs and Cabinet ministers . including Iain Duncan Smith have urged Mr Cameron to introduce the . measure no later than this year in order to reinforce the Government’s . pledge to be the most family friendly ever, rather than leaving it until . 2015. Many believe it would placate Tory . voters offended by the introduction of gay marriage, and stay-at-home . mothers who will not benefit from new state support with childcare . bills. The decision to float the idea again . now will be seen as an attempt to appeal to traditional voters ahead of . the local elections on Thursday. The Tories are expected to lose 300 or . more council seats, placing further strain on Mr Cameron’s relations . with his party. Eligible couples could be up to £150 better off from a tax break for people who tie the knot but one person does not work . The Prime Minister has a problem . because when the 35 English councils up for grabs were last fought over . in 2009, it marked a high watermark for Tory fortunes and the party won . 30 councils outright, picking up 1,531 seats. This time, Labour is widely predicted to gain several hundred seats, while the Lib Dems will join the Tories in losing seats. The exact details of the marriage tax . plan have not been spelt out but it is assumed that the tax change would . mirror plans unveiled by the Tories before the 2010 general election. The Conservative manifesto proposed a . transferable tax allowance that would apply to all married couples – and . gay couples in civil partnerships – who pay the basic rate of income . tax. Spouses not using all of their . tax-free personal allowance, either because they stay at home or work . part-time and earn less than the threshold for basic rate income tax, . were to be able to transfer £750 of their benefit to their working . partner. Eligible couples where one partner is . not using all the tax-free personal allowance and the other earns up to . £44,000 would be up to £150 a year better off. |

looking for food, agamids will seize their prey with the use of a short, thick tongue rather than their jaws. Diet Employing a sit-and-wait hunting technique, painted dragons will use their keen vision to detect most of their prey by the telltale movement they make. Accordingly, their diets consist largely of surface-active, mobile prey resulting in them consuming a range of arthropods. A strange feature of the family Agamidae is that ants, which are often avoided by other lizards, feature prominently in the diets of many of its species. While it is believed that this is more of a reflection on availability than preference, it still remains to be explained why they take ants at all when so many other lizards actively avoid them due to the formic acid they contain. It is presumed that they have developed some sort of mechanism to deal with the ingestion of this chemical. While this species is known to be predominantly insectivorous, specimens kept in captivity have been observed supplementing their diet with considerable amounts of plant matter. Colour polymorphism Colouration in male painted dragon populations is extremely variable, ranging from reddish brown to orange to yellowish brown, with orange being the least common. In studies of colour polymorphism, individual lizards have been categorised by their predominant colour into three discrete groups: red, orange and yellow Higher sexual selection is correlated with the variable appearance of males. Between yellow and red coloured male lizards, female lizards sexually select for red-coloured males. The red colouration may indicate indirect benefits to the females, showing that the male has beneficial genes. These include having high testosterone levels, which in turn affects the ability to fight off predators and an aptitude to defend his territory and offspring. Red males have higher testosterone levels than their yellow male counterparts. Testosterone is linked to aggression; increased aggression seen from a rapid increase in testosterone levels in red lizards gives them a fighting advantage in physical competition with predators. They also show more aggressive strategies in out-competing their yellow counterparts for more mating opportunities. In addition, red males defend their territory more fiercely and begin this behaviour earlier in the year, gaining a behavioural dominance over yellow males. However, the increased aggression and early defence of territory that red lizards express has a significant metabolic expense, which decreases overall fitness. On the other hand, yellow males show high survival rates, potentially due to relatively lower energy costs in territorial defence. Furthermore, yellow males show higher sperm counts than the red lizards. Yellow males generally have larger-sized testes than red males, and they copulate for shorter periods of time. When the yellow males mate, they have, on average, three times as many offspring as their red counterparts. This dually high survivability among both red and yellow | semi-arid to arid regions, favouring shrublands and hummock grasslands on sandy and saline soils. Ecology Like most agamids, painted dragons are swift-moving reptiles, capable of impressive sprints over short distances. This diurnal (day-active) lizard, like the majority reptiles, is an ectotherm meaning that it has to rely on its environment to regulate body temperature and as a result will spend considerable time basking to absorb heat. Known to be especially fond of low vegetation and ground debris such as fallen logs and branches, it occupies short burrows often concealed at the base of shrubs such as saltbush. Unlike the majority of other agamids which like to perch in elevated places, this species prefers to rest on low branches, from which it will forage over the surrounding open areas and ground litter. When disturbed or alarmed it will quickly retreat to the safety of the nearby burrow. Painted dragons possess many of the traits common to the family Agamidae. They are very alert lizards with an upright stance and acute vision which they will use to search for prey and keep an eye out for mates, rivals, and predators. Most of their communication is visually oriented with stylised head bops and dips, arm waving, and tail lashing playing a big part.

bilig-i daγurisγaγsan bei () in Classical Chinese: Dàqīng huángdì gōngdé bēi (大淸皇帝功德碑) which can be translated as "the stele to the merits and virtues of the Emperor of the Great Qing." Content Description Both the Qing and Joseon dynasties saw the inscription as the litmus test for the latter's attitude toward the Qing emperor, so King Injo frayed his nerves to it. As a result, it greatly flattered the Qing dynasty; namely, the inscription narrates how the king of Joseon came to attach himself to the virtue of the Qing emperor from a Joseon point of view. Although one-sided, it provides a concise account of the Qing-Joseon relationship. The inscription starts with the description of the Qing campaign against Joseon in 1636. The Qing army besieged the Namhan fortress, where King Injo took refuge. He admitted his guilt, accepted the imperial edict and surrendered at Samjeondo. Since Hong Taiji felt compassion for the Joseon king, he mercifully sent the king back to the capital and rapidly withdrew the army without doing harm to the people. In the next paragraph, the inscription traces the history back to the Battle of Sarhū in 1619. The Joseon army, led by Gang Hong-rip, put on the appearance of supporting the Ming dynasty but surrendered to the Qing dynasty. However, all of the soldiers except the high-ranking ones were released by Nurhaci, and the inscription emphasizes the merciful act. Since Joseon still displayed disobedient behavior, Hong Taiji commenced the Later Jin invasion of Joseon in 1627. He did not overthrow the kingdom but established a Confucian "elder brother-younger brother" relationship. The inscription then goes on to describe the second campaign. When Hong Taiji proclaimed the Qing dynasty in 1636, Joseon did not accept it even though Qing China announced a war. The inscription stressed his benevolent acts during the war. Next, the inscription explains the background of erection of the monument. It says that the king voluntarily erected the monument at Samjeondo to let the excellent virtue of the Qing emperor | the Great Qing."

He served as chairman of the board of Bank One Corporation (now part of JP Morgan) for several months during a management transition. Hall chaired both the Blue Grass Community Foundation and the Commonwealth Fund for Kentucky Educational Television. He was chairman of Board of Trustees at Vanderbilt University and served on the Engineering School Committee of Visitors. He is a former member of the Board of Trustees at Transylvania University and served as chairman of the Fund for Transylvania; the school also has a softball field named for Hall and his wife, Donna. He is a former member of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. He is past chairman of the Commonwealth Fund for Kentucky Educational Television (KET), and Leadership Kentucky, past president of the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation, and past president of the Markey Cancer Center Foundation and still serves on this board. In 2010, he was inducted into the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation's Abraham Lincoln Society. He is past chairman and counselor-for-life of The Conference Board and a former member of the board of directors of New American Schools Development Corporation. Hall served as Kentucky state chairman for the United States Olympic Committee from 1991 to 1996 and as chairman of the Corporate Fund for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. from 1996 to 1997. He is on the board of directors of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida and is on the Chairman's Advisory Council of the Everglades Foundation. He also endowed a chair in breast cancer research in his wife's name, the Donna S. Hall Chair in Breast Cancer Research, at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Hall was deeply involved in education improvement efforts spearheaded by the national Business Roundtable, of which he was a member. Under the aegis of the BRT, he co-founded The Partnership for Kentucky School Reform, which rallied corporate support for changes in primary education. He also led the West Virginia Business and Education Alliance, the BRT initiative in the Mountain State. Under Hall's leadership, Ashland devoted its entire corporate advertising budget to the cause of education with a goal of improving public schools in Kentucky and West Virginia. Hall also served on the board of the Society of Yeager Scholars at Marshall University and as national chairman of the Campaign for Marshall University. Recognition Hall has received numerous awards. These plaudits date from 1983 when he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Vanderbilt University. In 1985, he received the Tennessee Technology Foundation Honor Award. Petroleum Management magazine named him one of the 10 most influential individuals in the oil and gas industry in 1985. He also received a Significant Sig award from Sigma Chi Fraternity in 1985. The following year, The Ohio State University bestowed him with the College of Engineering award for business and technological achievement. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers honored him in 1987 with the Fuels and Petrochemical Division Award for management of petroleum operations. In 1988, the year of the Pittsburgh oil spill, he was named Crisis Manager of the Year by Carnegie Mellon University. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1990 and became a member of the advisory board of The Oil Daily that year. He earned honorary membership in the Kentucky Association of School Administrators in 1990 and became a trustee of the Committee for Economic Development, a national non-profit organization in 1991. He and his wife, Donna, were honored as Outstanding Volunteer Fund-Raisers | for but received only verbal permission. Hall went to Pittsburgh, inspected the site of the collapse and discovered that the tank was not up to company standards. He gave a news conference apologizing for the incident, taking responsibility, and promising that Ashland would pay for all cleanup costs and reimburse communities for expenses incurred because of water shortages. "We’re doing everything we know how to to clean up the danger as quickly as possible and restore water supplies," he said. "Ashland is a responsible corporate citizen that is also responsible to community concerns in the areas where our terminals are located." Hall drew praise for being so forthright and direct in confronting the crisis. Ashland quickly opened a Pittsburgh office to handle claims and staffed it with a senior executive. Hall went there regularly along with other senior executives to keep communication channels open. The company provided affected communities with drinking water for weeks, and commissioned the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, and ERT, an environmental consulting firm, to examine the long-term environmental impact of the spill. Battelle also was engaged to conduct an independent investigation into the collapse. Battelle's analysis determined the tank failure was caused by a brittle steel fracture – the original steel predated World War II – emanating from a dime-size flaw in the metal near a weld in the bottom round of the tank. Combined with other factors, including the cold temperatures, the flaw caused the tank wall to split in less than a second. In November 1989 Ashland agreed to pay $30 million to settle 20 class-action civil suits filed as a result of the spill. Overall, the spill and its aftermath cost Ashland an estimated $40 million, including $30 million to settle class-action civil lawsuits. But Hall's deft handling of the crisis won praise from financial analysts just days after the spill and from other observers as time went on. He would be named Crisis Manager of the Year by Carnegie Mellon University for his handling of the spill's aftermath. Hall's approach to the crisis became the subject of a Harvard Business School case study and today remains a textbook example of effective crisis management. Personal life Hall married his college sweetheart, Ann McQuiddy, in the fall of 1955, shortly after he graduated from Vanderbilt. The two moved to Baltimore where he accepted a job with Esso. Ann Hall developed a serious health problem, which led Hall to accept a position at Ashland Oil to be closer to family for support during the health crisis. John and Ann Hall adopted a son, John, known as "Jay," in 1971. Ann's health, however, continued to deteriorate, and she died of cancer in 1972 at the age of 40. Hall met his second wife, the former Donna Stauffer, in the late 1970s through mutual friends in Chicago, and they married in 1980. In 1998, shortly after his retirement, they were dealt an unexpected blow when Mrs. Hall developed breast cancer.
