Bangor City striker Alex Darlington has departed the club in order to sign for Maltese Premier Division side Mosta FC.
The Huws Gray Alliance side had confirmed that "substantial" bids had been made for both Darlington and Anthony Stephens earlier this month. But, it has now been confirmed that Darlington has left the club.
Darlington joined the Citizens from defending JD Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints just one year ago, and remained with the club after their demotion from the top flight into the Huws Gray Alliance.
But, after plying his trade with the club in the second tier for six months, he has now penned a two year deal at the Maltese Premier Division side.
Darlington joins a familiar face in Malta, given that former caretaker manager and Director of Football Stephen Vaughan Jr is assistant manager of the club.
Vaughan Jr had been in charge of Bangor's first team on a temporary basis following Craig Harrison's decision to join up with Andy Morrison at Connah's Quay Nomads, and filled the role before departing for Mosta.
The club's assistant manager has now snapped up his former striker on a contract that will see Darlington ply his trade for the next two seasons.
The move sees Gary Taylor-Fletcher weakened up front ahead of a crucial JD Welsh Cup derby against rivals Caernarfon Town this weekend.
The two sides lock horns this weekend at Bangor, as Flecher's men try to take down the high-flying Cofis.
However, the club have praised Darlington ahead of his move and believe he will be missed at the club.
Mosta are currently in 11th place in the top flight, and have secured three wins from 15 games.
They will be hoping that Darlington can fire the club away from the relegation zone in the coming months.

7 Little Known Facts About Your Favourite Marvel Superheroes
Rebecca Levy
Published on 5 Jun 2015
Now that The Avengers: Age of Ultron has topped the US box office – with takings of a modest $187.7m (£124m) – and Marvel's much loved characters are stealing the show everywhere, it might be time to take a look at what our favourite superheroes get up to behind the movie scenes:
Marvel thought children might be afraid of Spider-Man
People are afraid of spiders, right? Because of this there was debate over the famous character as the big wigs at Marvel thought that readers would be scared of the superhero. He has, of course, since gone on to spin a nice web of money for the company with comics, films, TV shows and themed merchandise selling well – on everything from sites such as www.lamaloli.com to high street stores.
Captain America can use Thor's hammer
Remember that scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, when all the heroes are gathered together and having a go at picking up the Mjolnir? And Thor looked a little nervous because Cap managed to move the hammer?
Well, in the comic The Mighty Thor #390 he actually uses the weapon to fight back a whole team of enemies. However he's not the only character who has wielded the hammer throughout the Marvel universe timeline.
Wolverine could have been called The Badger
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? Apparently when writer Len Wein was creating the character he wanted to design them with Canada in mind and narrowed down well-known Canadian animals to the badger and the wolverine.
Wein's editor quickly decided that a wolverine would be a much better animal for a superhero to be based upon. There was however a superhero, created by Capital Comics, called Badger who had multiple personalities, was a master of all martial art forms and could talk to animals. Maybe Marvel missed a trick there?
Black Widow and Daredevil were an item
In the comics pretty much every superhero has crossed paths at some point (with DC and Marvel cross overs even taking place) and when Natasha Romanova and Matt Murdock fought together romance developed and they became a crime fighting couple.
J.A.R.V.I.S is a real person in the comic
We all know the calming, disembodied voice of Paul Bettany as J.A.R.V.I.S, Tony Stark's virtual assistant in the Iron Man and Avengers movies (and of course SPOILER when he is recreated as Vision in Age of Ultron) but in the comics he is actually a real person called Edwin Jarvis and personal butler to the Stark family.
Pepper Potts gets her own suit
In an interesting (but kind of predictable) turn of events in later Iron Man comics, Pepper Potts is caught in an explosion and ends up with shrapnel in her chest. Tony creates a magnet, much like his arc reactor, which stops the shrapnel entering her heart and Pepper goes on to have more cybernetic upgrades done on her.
She also discovers a suit Tony created for her, and takes on the new name and alias Rescue when wearing it to fight crime and rescue Stark from any tough situations he might find himself in.
The 2002 reboot of Nick Fury was made to look like Samuel L. Jackson
Ever thought just how good a casting Samuel L. Jackson is for Nick Fury? Well, that might be because the writers actually based the character on the actor, they just didn't seek his permission beforehand. Luckily, Jackson didn't mind and was more than happy take on the role in the movies.
So now you know it's time to get out there and share your knowledge with fellow Marvel fans, while we cross our fingers for a Black Widow movie and eagerly await Ant-Man in July this year and the next instalment of Captain America in 2016.

Ed Sheeran's Relatable Fatherhood Revelation: 'No One Actually Knows What They're Doing' (EXCLUSIVE)
PopCrush Staff Published: June 25, 2021
Courtesy of Atlantic Records
Ed Sheeran recently caught up with PopCrush Nights host Nicole Murray for a chat over Zoom, where the pair chatted about parenthood, and working on new music.
Speaking about fatherhood and being a parent for the first time (Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn welcomed their daughter in late 2020), the singer admitted that "nobody actually knows what they're doing. You learn every day how to parent."
"It's not like you suddenly become a parent and you're instantly in the know and know what to do. It's a gradual process," he shared.
And though it's been reported that Sheeran's baby girl cries when he sings to her, the reason why might surprise you: "She doesn't really cry at my music," he admitted, laughing. "We've had a couple of occasions where I sing to her in the kitchen while we're making her dinner or whatever and sometimes when I sing too loud, she cries."
As for how Sheeran decided now was the right time to end his music hiatus, the superstar shared that he was originally set to come back last year until his wife found out that she was pregnant. Naturally, he wanted to be present for his first child's birth. Now that their daughter is growing up and more settled, and COVID-19 restrictions are easing up, it was finally the perfect time to return.
"My whole career is so live-centric [so] to release an album and not play any of it live would be, I feel, a mistake. It all sort of fell into place at the right time," Sheeran added.
As for new music? Though an album won't be coming out this summer, Sheeran says he hopes to announce another song in September. He also promises that lead single "Bad Habits" is a "curve ball" when it comes to the production, and that the rest of the album retains his signature sound.

La Calle Pura
© Alfredo Chiarappa
"El raggaeton es la calle pura," tells me El Chiki, a professional dancer. "There's no raggaeton without the street, and there's no street without raggaeton," adds El Tiger.
In Havana, raggaeton is the soundtrack of the suburbs.
Just outside of the city centre, where old musicians entertain tourists playing salsa and other traditional Cuban rhythms, all you hear are the hits of Gente de Zona (winners of a Grammy), Chacal, Jacob Forever, Chocolate, Harrison e El Principe.
In the markets or out in the streets, shop owners only blast raggaeton from their stereos.
"Cuban raggaeton is split in two genres — farandula and repartero," explains Capetillo, author and singer. You can tell farandula by the romantic lyrics and the way the artists who produce it show off their wealth. It's played in the top clubs, like Capri, where Adriano DJ organizes one of the most prestigious soirees, each time inviting one of the most popular artists on the Cuban music scene like Yomil e Dani, Jacob Forever, El Principe, Angels, Lady Laura.
Repartero, on the other hand, is the music of the barrio — the lyrics are raw and they talk about day-to-day life. It still seems confined to the island, while almost all farandula artists live in Miami and only go back to Cuba for live shows and to see their families. Repartero reminds me of a mix between rap and Jamaican dancehall, but every time I dare to make this comparison everybody tells me that no, "Cuban music is Cuban music." That makes me understand Cubans don't like to be defined.
Despite the obvious differences between the genres, frequent collaborations between farandula and repartero artists blur the line between the two — as with many other things in Cuba, music is a mezcla of different cultures. What they wear is also a mix of street cultures, a revisited urban style, since most brands that can be found there are fake.
The artists love gold — the symbol of who made it — and their street style is not exactly in line with the Revolution. Their bodies are covered in tattoos and sexual references are a constant, in lyrics and concerts too. Everybody shows me the video where Chacal mimics a full intercourse with a fan during a live at Liceo de Regla, a club where, thanks to Havana Vip planing, the best artists perform at a reasonable price.
Seeing a show is not something everyone can afford: Jacob's live at Liceo costs 4 cuc, Yomil e Dani's at Capri is 50 cuc. The most popular solution for a Friday night then is to go to one of the block parties that kids organize all across the island, like the ones I went to in Alamar, just outside of Havana.
As the spontaneous block parties in the suburbs show, raggaeton doesn't spread through traditional channels. On the contrary: raggaeton videos are rarely seen on national media, as they're blamed of putting forward ideals that are not in line with the country's history and identity, particularly when it comes to showing off riches and women.
Nonetheless, piracy is legal in Cuba, so there are plenty of stores selling compilations with the most-wanted songs of the week, video-cds called "El Paquete". Artists pay to get their songs and videos on them, hoping DJs and clubs will play them and that they'll be invited to do a live show.
Music production and distribution doesn't bring any money to artists, so shows are the only way for them to earn money.
While shooting in Cuba I meet some of the best artists around at the moment, like Harrison, Jacob Forever and El Tiger. It's very hard to talk to Jacob — he arrives a few seconds before his concert, allows me to take a couple of portraits of him and shortly after grabs his phone and starts texting nervously. He lives between Miami and Havana, he's very well-known outside of the country too and has collaborated with some of the best raggaeton artists in the world. The show is very powerful, it lasts a bit longer than an hour and during the last song security guards take Jacob away. After seeing a few more shows, I realize it's more of a way of doing things than a necessity: the artist who doesn't want to give himself to his fans fits right into Cuba's new narrative, already close to a Western and globalized lifestyle.
"We didn't go to school, we don't know anything about music but music makes us live. In my lyrics, there's only what I live through everyday," Harrison tells me. A mix of dancehall and rap — according to me, at least — in raggaeton terms, with strong lyrics and an aggressive show, right now make him the future of Cuban repartera music. Talking about his most famous song, "El Rey," a diss against Chocolate, the artist who invented the repartero genre, he concludes: "The street, the people say that I'm the king. I didn't decide that myself, they did."


I look forward to this disk as it should be a great listen!
Thanks for the link. David is going to be on "That Metal Show"next Saturday.
The best Whitesnake lineup and album.
Whitesnake were brilliant. David Coverdale has one of the best rock voices in the business.
This was the best Whitesnake line up to my ears unfortunately the perception is that David treated his band mates much like groupies and judging by the rotating circus of GREAT players over the years perhaps the perception was true…Bernie Marsden and Mickey Moody were one of the best guitar combo's around backed by the mighty Jon Lord of course on the lower video.
They were just great back then. Marsden was a guest onstage at one of their UK shows last week. Coverdale claims he is now friends with all of the ex-members again with the exception of Moody.
The 1987 line-ups through to 1991 didn't sound like they did many rehearsals for any songs to be honest. Maybe it's just me, and they had rehearsals left right and centre but it doesn't sound that way to me ears. Also that 1987 -1991 had really shite background vocals.
I know that on the Japanese tour for Coverdale/Page around 1994 that David was messing up lyrics as well. That kind of thing upsets me because far to many lead singers and or spokesperson of bands think it's okay to charge $100 a ticket for a subpar performance which is angers me.
Rockpages.gr: So, if David called you up today and asked you to do another album like in the old days, what would your answer be?
Micky Moody: I'd say "yes" without any second thinking. I don't think that he will, though…(laughs)! David wants to work with young and fit musicians. We are certainly not young…I look good compared to Bernie…(laughs), but not that good for Coverdale.
Whitesnake has recruited Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger) as its new guitarist following the departure of Doug Aldrich.
Says Whitesnake mainman David Coverdale: "One of the first, if not the first, guitarists to put his name forward after hearing that Doug Aldrich had left the band was an exceptionally talented musician whom we had met briefly last year when his band opened for Whitesnake in Arizona.
"We jammed together and were mutually impressed enough to ask him to join Whitesnake on the spot. This was May 30th, 2014.
"Joel is currently fulfilling his remaining tour dates with Night Ranger.
"We sincerely thank you all for your patience and understanding...and so, without further ado, we ask you to welcome, as we have done, our exceptionally gifted new Snake brother...Joel Hoekstra...guitarist extraordinaire."
"We couldn't be happier for Joel," Night Ranger said in a Facebook post announcing Hoekstra's departure from the band. "The last eight-plus years have been a blast, and we wish him nothing but the best."
Hoekstra appeared on two Night Ranger studio efforts, 2011's "Somewhere In California" and the recently released "High Road", as well as on 2012's 30th-anniversary acoustic concert set "24 Strings & A Drummer".
Coverdale recently revealed that Whitesnake was "deep into the pre-production of the new Whitesnake project, which is so exciting to me, it's beyond words."
Aldrich played on the last two Whitesnake albums, 2008's "Good To Be Bad" and 2011's "Forevermore", and appeared on several live releases, including last year's "Made In Japan" and "Made In Britain/The World Records".
Dutch guitarist Adrian Vandenberg, who was a member of Whitesnake during the band's successful late 1980s period, recently told the classic rock program "Radio Fireball" about the possibility of rejoining Whitesnake: "Never say never. David and I will always do something in the future, whether it's with the two of us acoustically or whether it's a blues album or a rock album or a tour. We are too good friends not to do it and we have too much fun working together. But it has to be next to [Adrian's current project] Vandenberg's Moonkings, not instead of."
Coverdale's insistence on staffing his band with pretty boys is misguided, imo. This female rock fan appreciates eye candy but I don't expect it in a band that's been around as long as Whitesnake. IMO, Coverdale should fire the pretty boys and give Micky Moody and Bernie a call.
Playing armchair psychologist...I wonder if Coverdale's obsession with appearance stems from his experiences in Deep Purple. From what I've read, he was chubby and had a wandering eye when Deep Purple discovered him. Their management put him on a diet and had his eye fixed. The obvious message this conveyed would have been that looks mattered. Then they hired Glenn Hughes, a good looking bloke and a talented singer, as their new bass player.
You nailed it! We are all fucked, and image is important to a point, and Coverdale forgot where the point ends however - I mean some guys are naturally fat guys who try and keep it in check which is cool, but if they are seen just giving up and piling on the weight it creates the impression that they don't care and just running through the motions. Remember, rock n roll is also about "us vs them" or as Ian Hunter wrote "one of the boys", and if the perception is that they don't care, they are no longer part of the "us". But David in my view put that ahead of the music when the music should have been the end game.
Whitesnake was a band that in my view was never managed well either, they never seemed to be able to put together a proper Canadian tour which was odd, and my friends who live in New England feel the same way, the band never really toured New England. They had followers everywhere here in Canada. Always wanted to see them live but was never prepared to fly or drive to Toronto. If they went out on tour with Def Leppard in North America I believe it would be a smashing success.


Understanding Feline House-Soiling | Feather Sound News & Beyond! Understanding Feline House-Soiling – Feather Sound News & Beyond!
Feline house-soiling can be a frustrating problem. Resolution requires patience, as it can take some time to determine the cause of these behaviors and may involve making changes to your cat's home environment and care. If you are experiencing house-soiling with your cat, first contact your veterinarian immediately to rule out a medical cause. Some common medical causes of feline house-soiling include: infections, feline idiopathic cystitis, arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, or others.
Urine spraying is a normal part of feline behavior in which a cat marks to leave its scent.
Marking behaviors include: scratching, rubbing, urine spraying, and depositing feces. Unneutered male cats and most unspayed females will mark as part of their sexual behavior. Spaying and neutering dramatically reduces this behavior.
Cats often target items with new or unrecognized smells such as backpacks and shoes. Marking behavior at windows and doors often suggests the perceived threat is coming from outside the home. Marking in stairways, hallways, doorways, or center of rooms usually indicates stress or threats from inside the home, such as other pets or new people in the household, active children, or remodeling.
By nature, cats are very clean and need adequate unsoiled locations to eliminate, especially in multi-cat households. When house-soiling occurs always evaluate the litter box. The general rule of thumb is to have one litter box for each cat, plus one extra box in multiple locations around your home. Socially affiliated cats, which are two or more cats that are familiar to each other, share a territory, and exhibit behaviors such as grooming, playing, or resting together, may be more willing to share litter boxes. Because more than one social group may occur in a multi-cat home, providing adequate resources for each group is important to decrease the chance of adverse behaviors. In general, when it comes to litter boxes, bigger is better and many commercial litter boxes are too small. Litter boxes should be 1.5 times the length of the cat from the nose to the base of the tail.
You may need to try different types of litter until your cat indicates its preference. For preference evaluation, provide multiple boxes with different litters and variable litter depths. Many cats dislike aromatic or dusty litters, litter deodorizers, and box liners. Most cats prefer soft unscented clumping litters.
Waste should be removed at a minimum of once per day and litter added as needed. The litter box should be washed weekly using soap and hot water only. Avoid using strong chemicals or any ammonia-based products.
House-soiling may occur your cat has had a negative experience in or near the litter box. The presence of a more dominant cat near the litter box area may cause a less confident cat to seek out other places for elimination. Some other causes of house-soiling are: administration of medications near/ in the litter box, family members trapping a cat in the box for any reason, being startled by sudden noises or nearby loud appliances, changes in the primary area where the cat eats, sleeps, and plays.
Avoid placing food and water close to the litter box. Cats usually prefer quiet, private places. Avoid busy areas of the home and locations where a cat could be cornered in, blocked off, or unable to flee. Keep the litter boxes apart in different locations because your cat considers boxes close to each other one large litter box.
If a cat is toileting away from its box, try placing an additional litter box at the new site (temporarily or permanently) to get the cat using a box again. In a multi-level home, place a litter box on each level.
If your cat is a senior or has a debilitating medical condition, place a litter box on the level where your cat spends the most time, as it may not be easy for your cat to go up and down stairs each time it needs to use the box. Older cats need a low entry litter boxes. You can cut down the side of the litter box, but inspect for any sharp edges. Place the litter box in an area closer to your cat to reduce the distance your cat has to walk.
Clean urine-marked areas to reduce a cat's habit of refreshing its scent on the marking site. Use a black light (UV) to find soiled areas. Clean affected areas sufficiently (three times the size of the soiled area) with a good quality urine odor and stain remover according to the type of surface that the cat has soiled to remove the odor. Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners, which smell like urine to a cat.
After cleaning to reduce the likelihood of re-marking. Use Feliway® diffusers in rooms most frequented by your cat to reinforces your cat's feeling of security. Ensure that your cat's environmental and emotional needs are being met.
By understanding and providing for your cat's environmental, emotional and medical needs, you can help your cat to overcome house-soiling and live a long and happy life.


Abandoned at the side of Route 30, this little pony bridge has lost one of its trusses, probably carted away to the scrap dealer by some enterprising individual. Zenas King is the likely builder.
I'd guess that the truss dates from the late 1860s to the late 1870s.
Nice find, Chester! I would love to know what it looked like when it was built.


The world is filled with natural wonders, undiscovered gems, and breathtaking vistas begging to be experienced. But not everyone has the stamina for a 10-day hiking excursion in the bucolic landscapes of Kyrgyzstan. For some of us, travel requires a valet, a beach, a Michelin-starred restaurant or, at the very least, a hot shower. These small luxury hotels were made for the ladder type of traveller.
That's not to say that you shouldn't go camping in Kyrgyzstan. In fact, I highly recommend you look it up. But some moments in life call for a little pomp and circumstance: a honeymoon, an anniversary, a small wedding—or a big promotion. If you're in search of an intimate luxury hotel set in spectacular locales, you've come to the right place. From Nairobian manors to English farmhouses and Argentinian lodges, these are the seven must-visit small luxury hotels to kick off an unforgettable vacation.
Set in a bucolic private reserve overlooking Torres del Paine National Park in Argentina, Awasi Patagonia has just 14 villas and one main lodge. Beyond the breathtaking views and an incredible gastronomic experience, this Relais & Châteaux property has lots to offer. Each villa is assigned with a private guide and a four-wheel drive to explore beautiful Patagonia. The villa also comes with a private outdoor hot tub to soak in the views.
Tucked away on a quaint cobblestoned street in downtown Nantucket, Greydon House exceeds all expectations. It's no surprise it was voted the Best of Boston in 2018 and made it on the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List in 2017. The Roman and Williams–designed hotel is intimate, luxuriously charming, and has all the bells and whistles that modern-day hospitality should. While the restaurants and bars are dark and moody—a nod to the taverns that were once part of Nantucket's whaling history—the rooms are light and bright, with touches of antiqued brass and nautical blue.
Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli is a special place. Located on the banks of majestic Lake Garda in Italy's impressive Lombardy region, this villa appears unchanged since the 1800s—like the time suddenly stopped. In pure Italian fashion, the service is impeccable, the food is Michelin-starred, and the grounds are lush and magnificent. A fine selection of house wines and a personal valet are available for guests.
Giraffe Manor is the type of place that exists only in your dreams—except it's actually real. Set in 12 acres of private land in the indigenous forest near Nairobi, the manor harks back to the 1930s when European visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces, and delightful courtyards, there isn't much not to love. But the real clincher of this intimate property is the herd of resident Rothschild's giraffes who visit morning and evening, sometimes poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat.
Reserved for members of the Soho House family, Soho Farmhouse is a bucolic countryside property set on 100 acres in Oxfordshire. Forty cabins accompany a seven-bedroom farmhouse and a four-bedroom cottage that can each accommodate larger groups. Beyond the quaint British countryside scapes, the farmhouse boasts multiple restaurants, a bar, a spa, horse stables, a gym, all-weather grass tennis courts, indoor-outdoor pools, a boathouse, and an (English) football field—so you'll never run out of things to do.
After a stunning remodel last year, Cotton House in Mustique was recognized in Condé Nast Traveller awards for 2018. It's unsurprising; the property—one of the only hotels on this intimate private island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines—is a beacon of elegance and Carribean charm. Set among 13 expansive acres of tropical gardens leading down to Endeavour Bay beach, the hotel boasts 17 luxurious, garden- and sea-facing villas, suites, and cottages with private verandas and plunge pools—all in colorful British colonial charm.
The heart of rural Vermont isn't exactly where you'd expect to find a five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel and some of the country's most impressive cuisine, but this is exactly what you'll find at Twin Farms. Ensconced in 300 acres of Northeastern forests, Twin Farms prides itself in providing superb meals and fine wines, outdoor adventures, and unparalleled spa services in a plush and unabashed Vermont atmosphere.

Manager Jean Williams confirms Douglas Charles Airport reopened this morning after shut down due to flooding Tuesday
Manager of the facility, Jean Williams revealed that the Douglas Charles Airport was flooded, and was shut down due to heavy rainfall on Tuesday.
However, the airport was reopened this morning. An extensive clean-up project commenced in the early hours of Wednesday 16th March 2016, after 75% of the debris was cleared.
Williams said "The condition of the airport is much improved over the situation that existed this morning. The river had overflowed its banks on Tuesday and deposited water and mud in the building".
Williams says heavy equipment from a contractor and fire officers are on site in case the need arises for any further assistance.


The Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC) is a multi-million pound facility which hosts University College Isle of Man (UCM)'s manufacturing engineering courses.

Amateur & Olympic
2008 US Olympic Boxing: Two Years Later
Rich Thomas
Checking In With the 2008 USA Olympic Boxing Squad
The US Olympic Boxing Team is always the source of the hottest prospects in boxing for the subsequent four years, with the only other event that even comes close being the Golden Gloves tournaments, either at the national level or for important cities like New York. Accordingly, it pays to keep an eye on how members of the 2008 boxing team, lackluster though it was, are doing now that they have turned pro.
Demetrius Andrade: Andrade was the star of the 2008 Olympic Boxing Team, and his upset loss in mid-tournament was the team's darkest moment in Beijing. The athletic 6'1″ southpaw campaigns as Super Welterweight (154lbs), and owns a 10-0 record with 7 knockouts. His record reflects a mix of victories over undefeated-yet-novice boxers, journeymen and tomato cans. Look for Andrade to step up his level of opposition either late this year or in 2011.
Deontay Wilder: Wilder was the savior of the 2008 Team, as he was the only boxer to bring home medal, saving America from the humiliation of a first-ever Summer Games without a single boxing medal. A skinny 6'7″ and 220 lbs., Wilder might also be the future savior of the US heavyweight boxing scene. He made his pro debut on the undercard of Jermain Taylor vs. Jeff Lacy, and currently has a record of 10 victories, no defeats, and all victories by way of knockout. He is unpolished, but has enormous physical potential.
Raynell Williams: Raynell Williams stayed in the amateur ranks, intending to qualify for the 2012 US Olympic Boxing Team.
Sadam Ali: Noteworthy as the first Arab-American on the US Olympic Boxing Team, Ali turned pro in the Super Lightweight division (140 lbs) in January 2009. He is 7-0 with 3 KOs, but over opposition limited almost entirely to tomato cans.
Javier Molina: Molina campaigns as a welterweight. His career has been in limbo, with only three professional fights (all wins, all kayos), most likely due to his need to finish high school. Molina delayed his last year of high school to focus on the Olympics, and thus returned to classes in 2009 as a 19 year old senior. Now that he is out of school, his boxing career will hopefully begin in earnest.
Shawn Estrada: Estrada was keeping the busiest schedule of all the 2008 team, until he hurt first his back and then his hand that is. He has been on the shelf since May 2009, when he had run up a 6-0, 6 KO record.
Luis Yanez: Yanez has been enjoying modest success as a Super Flyweight (115 lbs.), fighting on his home turf of Dallas, Texas. He has a 4-0 record, all wins by decision.
Gary Russell: A southpaw hailing from Capitol Heights, MD, Russell fights as a Featherweight (126 lbs.). Russell made the team, but never fought a single bout in Beijing because he passed out prior in his dorm room prior to the start of the event. As a professional, he is 9-0, 6 KOs.

BBC South took home a clutch of awards from the RTS Southern Regional Awards, held at the Winchester Guildhall in early March.
At a ceremony hosted by BBC South Today presenter Laura Trant and ITV News Meridian anchor Fred Dinenage, 225 guests watched BBC South win the Special Event Coverage award for its World War One programme, while reporter Nikki Mitchell was named best Regional TV Journalist. The Inside Out team took the Single Factual/Documentary award for its hugely enjoyable The Isle of Wight Festival at 50.
Ben Moore went home with the Regional Special Feature Journalist award and Emily Ford was named best Video Journalist. BBC South's Joe Cooper deservedly won the Camerawork award.
ITV also enjoyed success at the RTS Southern Regional Awards. ITV News Meridian reporter Ashna Hurynag was named best On-screen Newcomer and the ITV regional broadcaster took home the Strand within a News or Magazine Programme award for a moving documentary that examined the country's housing crisis, Where's Home?. ITV Meridian East also won the coveted Regional News Magazine programme award.
The independent producers also did well on the night. Phoenix Television won the Single Documentary/Factual Programme award for the BBC Four film about the death of the British world light-heavyweight champion boxer, Murder in Soho: Who killed Freddie Mills?. Love Love Films won the Online award for its highly personal film, Chin Up, and Joe Simpson took the Graphics award against strong challengers.
The prize for best Factual Series went to Southampton's Topical Television for the Channel 4 programme, The £1 Houses: Britain's Cheapest Streets. In the craft category, Paddywack Productions' Nick Elborough took the Post-production award for his excellent portfolio of work.
In the student categories, the awards were shared around the Southern Centre region. The Arts University Bournemouth notched up two victories, taking the Drama award for Zebra and the Animation prize for a film about dementia, Anna.
Bournemouth University took the Short Form prize for the charming film, The Shovellers, and the Comedy and Entertainment award went to a Wiltshire College/Bournemouth University co-production, The Second Coming.
Solent picked up the Factual award for its quirky film about a man who makes death masks, The Final Portrait. The judges praised the "extremely high" standard of student work, which they felt was often of professional this year.
"The awards are the highlight of our year and we all look forward to them with immense pleasure and pride at the talent in our region," said RTS Southern Chair Stephanie Farmer, who is also executive producer at RedBalloon Productions.
"This year our awards event was poignant because we also paid tribute to two young video journalists from ITV Meridian and ITV Channel who had lost their battles with cancer, Martin Dowse and Leah Ferguson.

I am working on a webmail interface.. I give the users a virtual e-mail, that is really forwarded to their original e-mail address.. now I need to make an interface so that they can send from this virtual e-mail address I'm giving. I made the interface quite allright, but I still need to know how to make an attachement to the e-mail. is there an easy way to do it using the sendmail porgram?
I downloaded Simon Tneoh Chee-Boon's FileUpload.pm this way I can upload the file to a directory I specify, and then put a link to it in the sent mail, but I want it to go through with the e-mail.
The module you want to install from http://www.cpan.org is MIME::Lite or, if you need more than what it provides, MIME::Tools, which includes everything and the kitchen sink.
CPAN also provides you with various mail modules. To find MIME::Lite, I used the CPAN nodelet, which is an interface to http://search.cpan.org.
I second Corion's recommendations for MIME modules from CPAN.
Even if you find out that it is easy to send an attachment with sendmail, I hope you will consider using a CPAN module for sending the mail too (with or without an attachment). I prefer the MailTools distribution; other choices include Mail::Sender and Mail::Sendmail.
That's almost exactly what I did for one of my WT columns. Go see.
at the top of your script. Make sure you have a Maildirectory with Sender.pm inside it, then use the lib line above to point to the directory in which the Mail directory resides.

NOAH and JACK are in their apartment. NOAH walks out of his bedroom looking tired, while JACK is in their common area.
Noah? What are you doing up so early?
I couldn't sleep. Too anxious about these ratings.
Hold on, I'm getting a call.
JACK looks down at his phone. It's MARTIN, an executive from The DC Network.
Come here, it's The DC Network.
JACK answers the phone and puts it on speaker for NOAH to hear.
Hello Jack, do you have a minute?
Yes, what's the issue?
The second week ratings.
Down 30 percent from the premiere.
Oh. Yikes.
Yeah. Listen, you're going to need to take the show in a new direction if you want it to have any chance of success.
I understand. One question—
Sorry, I have to go, my coffee's here.
MARTIN hangs up the phone.
I have an idea.
We have the characters close up shop and open up a new place. Maybe it's the setting that's off-putting.
Like where?
Broadway. We do some musical numbers, get nominated for awards, and then they'd have to renew us!
I was thinking more along the lines of adding in some characters. Isn't that what you suggested last week?
Yeah, but I'm over that. Plus, where are we gonna get the budget to add new cast members?
Okay then. Maybe we make it less of an ensemble and more focused on a certain character or two?
Who's your favorite character?
I kinda like Jia. You?
We're not too far in. No emotional attachments yet.
Should we get Ed's take?
He probably doesn't even know their names!
Then it's decided. We focus more on Jia and less on the other characters.
And we also set it on Broadway.
Already shot that idea down.
Fine. Now it's time for me to pour a glass of cereal and eat some orange juice.
JACK [to himself]
Yep, he's too tired to even have a good idea.

You get angry, so you swear, right? Where is the harm? Well, studies show that colourful language isn't as harmless as you think.
Have you ever watched a movie where swearing seems to occur constantly? Have you ever wondered how many swear words are in your favourite movies?
Why is using a myriad of profane words even necessary? When I ask this question to other persons, I stand in astonishment over their answers. Dogma and American Pie are easy explanations. Each movie contains no real substance in terms of content. Although, in Dogma, I could appreciate some of Kevin Smith's thoughts on religion; however, the repetitious swearing prevented his message from truly coming across effectively.
My answer to watching Dogma and American Pie was: "I enjoy the movies". For myself, the insults and the swearing were simply funny. No real reason necessary. Those who didn't appreciate the movies. Whatever. For those who spoke outwardly about it, "prudes".
Oscar winners such as Birdman and American Sniper are a little trickier. Some movies might supposedly need the swear words in order to mirror reality. For example, many military movies, such as American Sniper, use profanity to illustrate soldiers at war. Admittedly, soldiers fighting for their lives are less concerned with their verbiage and more concerned about staying alive. However, most of us watching these movies are not soldiers, and we are not fighting for our lives. The point is: where do you draw the line?
According to Time Magazine, roughly 0.7 percent of the words used from a person is profanity. Imagine a conversation with someone who uses three percent profanity; Eddie Murphy, the famous actor from 48 Hours and Shrek, can now take a bow.
According to Time Magazine, children—even toddlers—often learn a four letter word before learning the alphabet.
Think about it. If every other word used is profane, a person doesn't really give him or herself the opportunity to expand his or her vocabulary. As a journalist, I sometimes struggle to pinpoint the exact usage of words when writing articles.
Some people can only communicate effectively using four letter words. When I am emotionally charged, I often have a hard time communicating vital information to my spouse. My mind automatically connects to profanity instead of other less offensive words. Additionally, profanity, offensive in nature, causes many people not to fully listen to the offender's vital information.
According to WikiHow, finding an accountability partner can prove helpful in keeping your not-so-pleasant words in check.
Avoid triggers that cause you to swear. Movies that use a myriad of swear words keeps these cuss words in your mind as well as gives you the notion that swearing is acceptable. Other suggestions would be to leave thirty minutes earlier to avoid rush hour, and, if possible, walk away from a project that is causing you too much strife.
After 'slip up', reflect on the words that you just said, and think of ways (write them down) on how can alter your response more effectively in the future.
Find other ways to communicate your message. This is harder during emotional experiences, but this is wear it matters most. I love this one. This has been a tried-and-true method for me. Use words or phrases such as "poop", "darn", "forget that", and the ever famous, "shut the front door". Eventually, attempt to replace the aforementioned words and phrases using more sophisticated verbiage.
My attempts to reform my profanity usage has taken years. It's a skill that doesn't come over night, particularly if it is commonplace or if you use it to alleviate intense emotions. But, I believe in you. You can do it.

Q: how to remove multiple slashes in URI with 'PREG' or 'HTACCESS' how to remove multiple slashes in URI with 'PREG' or 'HTACCESS'
site.com/edition/new/// -> site.com/edition/new/

site.com/edition///new/ -> site.com/edition/new/
thanks

A: $url = 'http://www.abc.com/def/git//ss';
$url = preg_replace('/([^:])(\/{2,})/', '$1/', $url);
// output http://www.abc.com/def/git/ss

$url = 'https://www.abc.com/def/git//ss';
$url = preg_replace('/([^:])(\/{2,})/', '$1/', $url);
// output https://www.abc.com/def/git/ss

A: using the plus symbol + in regex means the occurrence of one or more of the previous character. So we can add it in a preg_replace to replace the occurrence of  one or more /  by just one of them
   $url =  "site.com/edition/new///";

$newUrl = preg_replace('/(\/+)/','/',$url);

// now it should be replace with the correct single forward slash
echo $newUrl

A: Simple, check this example :
$url ="http://portal.lojav1.local//Settings////messages";
echo str_replace(':/','://', trim(preg_replace('/\/+/', '/', $url), '/'));

output :
http://portal.lojav1.local/Settings/messages

A: Edit: Ha I read this question as "without preg" oh well :3
function removeabunchofslashes($url){
  $explode = explode('://',$url);
  while(strpos($explode[1],'//'))
    $explode[1] = str_replace('//','/',$explode[1]);
  return implode('://',$explode);
}

echo removeabunchofslashes('http://www.site.com/edition////new///');

A: http://domain.com/test/test/ > http://domain.com/test/test
# Strip trailing slash(es) from uri
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)[/]+$ $1 [NC,R,L]

http://domain.com//test//test// > http://domain.com/test/test/
# Merge multiple slashes in uri
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ //*(.+)//+(.*)\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ //+(.*)\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R,L]

Change R to R=301 if everything works fine after testing...
Does anyone know how to preserve double slashes in query using above method?
(For example: /test//test//?test=test//test > /test/test/?test=test//test)

After a meeting with top NFL officials, Gov. Parris N. Glendening said he does not believe the league will expand any time soon and that he will decide in December whether to keep stadium funding in place to try to lure one of several teams the league thinks might move.
Glendening met Thursday with NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, and said he told the commissioner he thought Baltimore had been used as leverage by teams seeking new stadiums and that the city would not "be brides in waiting forever."
He said Tagliabue neither encouraged nor discouraged Maryland to keep its funding in place, and was candid in relating the strengths of Baltimore's football market as well as its geographic shortcomings relative to faster-growing regions of the country.
"They did not think there would be expansion soon but did believe several teams would look around. . . . Without any hesitation he said he thought there would be several additional moves," Glendening said.
The commissioner was less encouraging about the prospects of another expansion any time soon. Baltimore's NFL boosters, having failed to land several prospects in recent years, are hoping the league adds an expansion team in Los Angeles and, to keep the number of teams even, another one elsewhere.
"They understood that we would not be brides in waiting forever," Glendening said.
Glendening and Mercantile Safe Deposit & Trust chairman H. Furlong Baldwin had breakfast with Tagliabue and New York Giants owner Robert Tisch in a Washington hotel owned by Loews Corp. Tisch, chairman of Loews Corp., once led an investment group seeking an expansion team for Baltimore and has been supportive of the city's efforts.
Said Glendening, "I think we established a professional line of communication and got rid of some of the hostility that was still lying around. I was encouraged at least that we cleared the air."
Former Gov. William Donald Schaefer was outspoken in his criticism of the league and commissioner following Baltimore's loss in expansion. Schaefer accused Tagliabue of conspiring with Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke to keep a team out of Baltimore, something both men denied.
"The idea that there is hostility between the State of Maryland and the NFL is now gone," Glendening said.
A spokesman for the commissioner confirmed the meeting was held but declined to discuss the substance of the talks.
Glendening said Tagliabue asked about the Redskins' plans to build a stadium in Prince George's County, and the governor said he told him he has left that up to local authorities to approve or disapprove. Tagliabue said he did not know of any team owner who viewed the Redskins' plans as a negative for Baltimore getting a team, Glendening said.
"My impression is as long as we're not talking about expansion that the decision would be left up to an individual owner, and the league is not going to do anything to stop it," Glendening said.
Tagliabue did not bring up suggestions by Maryland Stadium Authority chairman John Moag that the state might sue the league, accusing it of unlawfully keeping a team out of Baltimore. But Glendening said he does not favor such a suit and considers it to be "very much on the back burner."
"I understand that while there may be some legal issues, I thought it was more appropriate to work with them," Glendening said.
Revoking the bonding authorization for a football stadium adjacent to Oriole Park would require approval by the General Assembly and the signature of the governor. Some accumulated lottery money is scheduled to be redirected next spring to school construction if no team has announced its intention of moving.
Sen. John Pica, chairman of the city's state Senate delegation, has vowed to filibuster if necessary to retain the funding.
"We are faced with other pressing needs, as well as federal cutbacks," said Glendening. "I told him [Tagliabue] if anything was going to happen I had to have a clear picture by December.
"If there was some reasonable indication of something in the near future, we would keep the option open and if not, I have to make a hard budget decision," Glendening said he told Tagliabue.
Glendening said even if the funding is revoked, it could be reinstated if a team were interested in moving to Baltimore -- something that would require new legislative approval.
Tisch said he liked the governor personally, but did not have any advice on whether to keep the stadium funding in place.
"With L.A. open, the league has to sit down and decide a strategy for the next few years. As a general principle we're trying to stabilize the league," Tisch said. "Right now, everything is more up in the air than usual."


A video of Malawi president Peter Mutharika promising his sister inlaw Callista Mutharika that he will not leave her alone is making rounds on social media as the two are now insulting each other.
President Mutharika promised to support Callista at all means and at all times in 2012 during the funeral of Malawi's former president Bingu Wa Mutharika at Ndata in Thyolo district.
The video in possession of this publication is circulating on the social media with people marking the promise as a contradiction to the current situation between the two.
Callista and Peter Mutharika have gone separate ways.
"To Callista, my sister-in-law thank you very much for the love you gave to my brother and you make his life very happy after he lost his first wife. Then Callista you will never walk alone, there will always be someone walking besides you," said Mutharika at Bingu's funeral.
He then told the gathering a story of footprints in which the lord promised a man that he will always walk besides him.
He continued telling the story that to the surprise of the man, when things were good, the lord was there but was at large when things went bad though he promised not to leave his lord.
"Then he asked, why do you abandon me when things gets tough. He replied by saying that when things gets tough I was not walking besides but I was carrying you," said Mutharika.
The trending video has raised eyebrows considering the sour relationship between the president and Callista.
Callista a few months ago told Mutharika to retire after his first term and pave way for Vice President Saulos Chilima but Mutharika refused.
The former First Lady then joined forces with Chilima and others to form the United Transformation Movement (UTM).
At UTM rallies, Callista has been insulting Mutharika calling him Matchona (a derisory term for a person who stayed abroad for a long time).
Last weekend, Mutharika hit back saying Callista arrived late at the hospital on the day her late husband Bingu wa Mutharika collapsed hence she does not deserve respect.
"By 11am all the children and grandchildren had arrived at the hospital. Callista arrived at the hospital at 4:30pm. For six hours she was busy collecting materials from State House to her friend in Area 10 and that's the truth, that's the kind of woman she is.
"She is not a woman who deserves any kind of respect," Mutharika said.
Amwene a Chawinga iam agreed ndi fundo yanu mayiyu ndi oipa she just want to eat nao ndrama kwa achilima…and next time azapanganso zolankhura mopusa akadzasiyana ndi a Chilima….munthu wamzeru sangamanyoze mwamuna ai…let God judge…and Peter was working kunjako not kutchona umbuli uzimuyankhulitsa zambiri calista yu sanati..
If she is calling APM mchona,who was her husband, to say the fact mayiyu ulemu alibe, chifukwa chake amanama zoti alamu akhalamba,iyeyo asatinamize timavutika NATO MBC yinali yake a Bingu Ali moyo.Mayi alibe ulemu uyu.
Mtchona sali conversant ndi chikhalidwe ndi chilankhulidwe chathu. Munthu wotchona dzina lake ndi Mtchona.

CARSON SCHUBERT For millennia, humans have looked to the sky for guidance and inspiration. In the past five hundred years we have come to understand our place in the cosmos with bigger and better telescopes, space probes, and new ways of seeing the universe. Now, astronomers at the University of Texas and the McDonald Observatory hope to revolutionize astronomy by providing the first direct data on a mysterious part of the universe: dark energy.
One of the great triumphs of modern astronomy is the discovery that what we see around us, from Earth to the Sun to distant galaxies and stars, makes up a mere 5% of our universe. The other 95% is composed of so called "dark" matter and energy. Dark, in this case, is both a description of the "stuff" itself (zero interaction with the electromagnetic spectrum, or light) and our understanding of it. The truth is, we know almost nothing about dark matter or dark energy, except for the fact that they make up a majority of our universe.
So what makes dark energy so interesting? It all started in 1929, when Edwin Hubble determined that the universe was expanding. This was huge for astronomers and science in general; until then, the universe had always been assumed to be static, unchanging over the eons. Hubble's discovery shocked the world and marked a significant change in our understanding of the universe.
Fast forward to 1998. Saul Perlmutter and Adam Riess, along with Australian Brian Schmidt, are studying distant supernovae. In doing so, they make a groundbreaking (and 2011 Nobel Prize winning) discovery: the universe is not only expanding, but also accelerating. This went against everything physicists had theorized since Hubble's discovery in 1929. "If you had a universe with no dark energy, there was just matter, we would expect the expansion rate to be slowing because [gravity] is pulling everything closer together. But it's not, it's accelerating!" says Dr. Steven Finkelstein, an astronomy professor here at UT. "So we inferred the existence of dark energy." It was as if you threw an apple in the air, and instead of slowing and falling back to your hand, it continued to rise faster than you had thrown it.
Astronomers were baffled. Some mysterious, unseen force was causing the universe to speed up. In the nearly two decades since its discovery, dark energy has been revealed to comprise over 70% of the known universe. Some say it is a new, undiscovered force carrying particle. Some say it is simply a product of the energy of empty space. Yet for well over a decade now, science has been unable to provide anything more than theories. "There are essentially no observational constraints… We can measure how strong it is today, one data point. You can fit a lot of lines through one data point." says Finkelstein.
Gary Hill (Principal Investigator) and Karl Gebhardt (Project Scientist), along with a consortium of other researchers and the McDonald observatory, aim to change that. The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), conceived in 2008 and slated to begin full operations in the fall of 2017, will use spectroscopy to obtain a three-dimensional map of galaxies in a portion of the sky between 9 and 11 billion light years away. "What that 3D map essentially tells us is, how fast is the universe expanding then, at that point." Finkelstein explains. Using spectroscopy rather than traditional imaging will allow the team to calculate precise distances to each galaxy, which are vital for producing the three-dimensional map. The project will map nearly a million Lyman-α emitting galaxies, the same type of galaxy Finkelstein studied in his doctoral thesis. "They're easiest to detect [in spectrographs]." he says of the galaxies, fourteen of which were the subject of his thesis. Such a large mapping project has never been done before and will yield unheard of scientific data with applications far beyond the slated goals of the experiment.
For cosmologists, the hope is that HETDEX can finally grant them a glimpse into the true nature of dark energy. Currently accepted theory holds that dark energy is merely a cosmological constant. This constant represents what astronomers call the vacuum energy of space. As the universe expands and more empty space is created, it creates a cyclical effect that continually increases the rate of expansion. "If that's what we see, that's great. But it's not Nobel prize winning. If we prove dark energy does evolve over time, that might be Nobel prize winning." says Finkelstein when asked about what HETDEX expects to see. Whatever the data reveals, one thing is for sure: we're one step closer to the answer.
While dark energy is the main target for HETDEX, Finkelstein is excited for a different reason: "I study galaxies and how galaxies evolve… so I'm excited to have this sample of one million galaxies where we know the distance to all of them. Distance is always a major uncertainty." Finkelstein says with a smile. "My main role is being able to take advantage of the huge data set we have to do lots and lots of awesome stuff to figure out how galaxies work." For Finkelstein and other astronomers who study galaxy formation, such a large data set presents unbounded opportunities for new research. By analyzing the emission lines in the galaxies, "we should discover a million stars and [around] one hundred thousand accreting supermassive black holes. All of that science together can be at least as important, if not more, than the cosmology." Finkelstein explains.


For over 26 years Royal Burgers' Zoo maintains a large nature reserve with a tropical forest, lagoons and mangroves in the northern part of Belize. In this article we will introduce you to an animal from Belize: the manatee.
The manatees that swim at Burgers' Zoo belong to the species 'Caribbean manatee'. This species is subdivided into two regional varieties, or subspecies: The Florida manatee (which we have at Burgers' Zoo) and the Antillean manatee, which lives along the coast from Central America to halfway Brazil. Are these two subspecies easy to tell apart? Alas... the literature is quiet in this regard.
Either way it is difficult to get to see manatees in their natural habitat. However, if you have seen manatees in shelters both in Belize and in Florida, some differences are noticeable. According to sources in the literature the adult Caribbean manatee weighs between 200 and 600 kilograms. I suspect that the Florida species weighs closer to 600 kilograms and the Antillean ones closer to 200 to 300 kilograms, because the first thought that comes to mind when you see an adult Antillean manatee is: they are so small!
In addition, the manatees that swim along the coast of Belize definitely look hairier than their kind from the US. It isn't like they really have fur, of course, but across their entire body, at about every square centimetre, they have one stiff hair, which is a few centimetres long. Because also very small algae seem to grow on them, this 'hair' becomes very noticeable. On their prehensile lips, however, they appear to have a lot fewer whiskers than the manatees in the Bush.
Both subspecies of Caribbean manatees are threatened with extinction: it is estimated that of each subspecies there are only 2500 manatees still around. In such a small population each one counts for the survival of the species. That is why they do not let nature take its course when a manatee is in need. Regretfully manatees in the wild do sometimes collide with the propellers of motorboats. These collisions result in ugly, often life-threatening injuries. Sometimes also very weak manatees are found, especially in winter, as these warmth-loving creatures lose too much body heat in the colder water. Employees of our Belize project keep the coast clear by means of patrol boats and counteract illegal activities like fishery. When they come across a wounded or weakened manatee, it is taken to a special manatee shelter, which is located only a few kilometres from the headquarters of the project.
