There were no surprises today as FIFA revealed the three finalists for this year's Ballon d'Or award as Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery. The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in Zurich on January 13.
Let's make one thing clear from the start: Leo Messi is by far the best player of his generation and the only one of the three finalists who could ever be considered as a candidate for the title of Greatest of all time. For the first three months of 2013 he looked well on course for his fifth Ballon d'Or, completing an astonishing record of scoring in 19 consecutive league games. However, an injury against Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League quarter finals was just the first in a series of thigh problems that have seriously hampered the Argentinian's chances of reclaiming the award this year.
Messi's rivals have both had a remarkable year. Ronaldo has been in the best form of his career, scoring 57 goals with Real Madrid and recently producing a breathtaking hat-trick to help Portugal to classify for the World Cup. The negative point for Ronaldo is that he won nothing with Madrid and in his only final of the year he was sent of near the end of the Copa del Rey defeat to Atlético. Ribery, on the other hand, has won almost everything with Bayern Munich this year. The Frenchman has been the most important player in Bayern's success but perhaps he doesn't stand out quite as much in his team as Messi and Ronaldo do at Barça and Madrid, and he certainly doesn't score as many goals.
Winning team titles is obviously very important but I feel for individual awards the merits of the individual should outweigh those of the team. For this reason I think Ronaldo's 57 club goals compared to Messi's 37 and Ribery's 17 will tip the balance in favor of the Madrid player. I think Ribery will miss out like Xavi and Iniesta did after leading Spain to so much success, while Messi's injuries will most likely rob him of a fifth straight win.
Unfortunately, the organization of this year's award has been somewhat farcical with changes in the closing date for voting causing suspicion of corruption and political wrangling. For many years the sports magazine France Football ran the competition and it was generally accepted as the most prestigious individual award in football. In 1991 FIFA introduced their World Player award with votes being cast by national team captains and coaches. With all of FIFA's clout the new award should have soon become the most important individual prize, but FIFA failed to achieve this and France Football's Ballon d'Or continued to be seen as the number one individual trophy. In 2010 FIFA gave up and bought out France Football as the two awards were merged into the FIFA Ballon d'Or. If FIFA continue to organize the voting in such a shambolic way which leads to questions over the legitimacy of the winner, the award will unfortunately begin to lose its value.

For many years the sports magazine France Football ran the competition and it was generally accepted as the most prestigious individual award in football. – If I am not wrong, it was journalists who decided the award and hence they (media) could not fault it at all. With Fifa, who rightly includes players and coaches in the voting process and journalists are often astonished by the choice of players and coaches. Apparently they think their footballing brain is better than that of players and coaches.
Sometimes I feel sorry for FIFA. All the votes are made public and it cant be more transparent (except for how they pick up the first 23 players and the coaches). But just because journalists are mostly proven wrong by the decision of players and coaches, FIFA selection is a farce!!!
But I do agree, this year it was absolutely stupid, how they changed the voting dead line. I also dont understand how they didnt pick Simeone for the coach list.
Nic, well done as always. But to me, one thing is not yet cleared about this Ballon'dor.
Is this award based on players and coaches performances in a league season or is it given out based on the performance of a calendar year?
I asked this because if it it based on a season that normally ends in may(if i'm not mistaken) of every year, then i don't see ronaldo coming close to any chance in this very award we are talking about. You said it yourself Nic that (last season) ronaldo won nothing with real madrid, yes he won nothing, except the CL top scorer he won. Let's now compare this with someone with the La liga and the overall europe leagues top scorer with the La liga trophy to back it up or with someone that despite him not scoring much, he helped his team to win the treble in that season.
Well, maybe i'm wrong, i don't think ronaldo deserve this award unless i'm also wrong with the period of performance as i said above.


A relatively quiet few days, thankfully, although with rumblings from the current library battlegrounds of Ealing, Essex and Worcestershire. The key piece of news for me is one I missed when it happened: Kirkless joined the increasing trend towards going fine-free at the end of December. There are now eight services in the UK I know of that have taken this approach.
Birmingham – Druids Heath Library closed for three months due to broken boiler.
Kirklees – No fines charged from end of December 2018.
Sorry to see that Ealing are discussing dramatic cuts from the current £2.2m down to, and I can't believe I'm reading this right but I've checked , £566k in 2022. My goodness. Hopefully, the final cut will be better than the libraryageddon that those figures imply. On the other end of the scale, the Reading Agency have been awarded a handsome £120k to evaluate the Summer Reading Challenge. The SRC is the most successful national promotion that public libraries do, with by far the most impact, so that's money well spent if it helps safeguard it.
Well done to the Edge Conference in Edinburgh which is now in its tenth year. It's an excellent, compact but beautifully formed, couple of days that I enjoyed going to a few years back … and it has a very strong set of international speakers that you may not see anywhere else so it's worth a look. Lastly, in my excited thanking everyone for my BEM last post,, I missed mentioning Judith Robinson from Kirklees Libraries, who received a British Empire Medal herself for services to public libraries. You do, of course, rock, Judith.
Ealing – £1.64m cut from £2.2m (2019) to £566k (2022). 7 (out of 13) libraries to turn volunteer: Greenford, Hanwell, Perivale, Northfield, Pitshanger, West Ealing, Wood End. Consultation.
I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas / New Years break. I certainly did. The main thing in the library news since way back on 16th December when the last news update was done has been the continued protests in Essex against the deep cuts there. The New Years Honours seemed to concentrate more than normal on the literary side with authors who campaign for libraries – including Julia Donaldson, Philip Pullman and Chris Riddell – all being mentioned. Public librarian side, congrats to Neil MacInnes – chief of Manchester libraries and the last president of Society of Chief Librarians/first of Libraries Connected, who got an OBE and to Tony Brown, Islington stock and reader development manager, who received a BEM (British Empire Medal). And a huge thank you to whoever nominated me as I got a BEM myself. Wow. Just … wow.
It's been a big couple of weeks for libraries going fine-free, with the whole Republic of Ireland no longer charging late fees and Halton Council also announcing a one-year pilot of no fines. The whole Australian state of Tasmania has also gone the same way. It's becoming clear that removing all fines – once unthinkable and then only something that happened elsewhere – is fast picking up momentum and is now something many library services are considering.
Croydon – Staffless library technology to be piloted at Selsdon.
Halton – Fines removed for all in one year pilot.
Neath Port Talbot – £235k cut: Baglan, Cwmafan, Glynneath and Skewen may close or turn volunteer.
West Dunbartonshire – £45k over 3 years to be spent on e-books, £421k on improving libraries + self-service machines.


War of the Rebellion: Serial 013 Page 0109 Chapter XXIII. SEVEN-DAYS' BATTLES.
duct of the First Massachusetts, and to Company B, Captain Littlefield, Second Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, as reported by their brigade commander.
At this moment, about 11 o'clock, from some misapprehension of my true condition at general headquarters, orders were sent to withdraw my command from the contest, and at the same time Brigadier-General Birney, at the head of his brigade, gallantly tendered me his services, which from the character of my instructions I was constrained to decline, and the brigade returned to its camp.
Suddenly the major-general commanding the army, appearing on the field and learning the state of affairs, gave directions for me to resume and finish the duty assigned me the night previous. The Second New York, Regiment Carr's brigade,under Lieutenant-Colonel Olmsted, took the place of the Seventh Regiment New Jersey Volunteers, which had been withdrawn from the advance during the suspension of our operations,and the line again moved forward under a severe fire from our adversaries, when Olmsted's regiment established itself on the right of the line which we were to occupy. About this time Palmer's brigade, from Couch's division, came up, and soon after a section of De Russy's Napoleons arrived, and on being judiciously posted and brought int action by that brave and accomplished officer, they opened with canister to the right and left of the Williamsburg road and literally swept the jungles of rebels. A part of Palmer's brigade had been assigned the section as support, while the remaining regiments deployed and took the advance of the infantry on this part of the field and immediately moved forward to the outer edge of the woods.
I respectfully call the attention of the commander of the corps to the report of Brigadier-General Palmer of the services of his command. As it has not been received by me, I can only add my testimony to that of others to their courage and good conduct.
After the undergrowth had been cleared of rebels the section opened fire with great effect on the rebel encampment on the side of the field opposite their position. These pieces were worked under the immediate charge of Lieutenant Henderson, and this young officer deserves especial mention for the skill and intrepidity he displayed in the performance of his duty. At 7 o'clock my command was withdrawn and our new line turned over to Brigadier-General Palmer to defend for the night.

Q: WaitForSeconds on C# Look at this simple code:
function Start()
{
    yield WaitForSeconds (4);
    Application.LoadLevel(1);
}

It works! I'm trying to make something similiar using C#, but the processor just ignore the WaitForSeconds. This is my code in C#:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class openingC : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        executeWait(5);
        Application.LoadLevel(1);
    }

    void executeWait(float aux)
    {
        StartCoroutine(Wait(aux));
    }

    IEnumerator Wait(float seconds)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
    }
}

Can someone explain to me why it's not working? Thanks for your time.

A: public class openingC : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        executeWait(5);
        Application.LoadLevel(1);
    }

    void executeWait(float aux)
    {
        StartCoroutine(Wait(aux));
    }

    IEnumerator Wait(float seconds)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
    }
}

First, the Start method runs, executeWait is called, the program jumps to the method. It finds the coroutine and starts running it until a yield is found or the end of the method. Yield returns to the program, the pointer goes back up to executeWait and finishes the method. The pointer goes back up to Start and calls for Application.LoadLevel.
You want to hang the LoadLevel call.
public class openingC : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        StartCoroutine(Wait(5));
    }

    //You don't need executeWait

    IEnumerator Wait(float seconds)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
        Application.LoadLevel(1);
    }
}

A: Try this:
Thread.Sleep(500); //500 millisecond waiting...

Reference

A: This should also be okay.
    IEnumerator Start()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(4);
        Application.LoadLevel (1);
    }

Coffee Talk: Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Welcome a Baby Boy
Plus: Solange gets unexpected news from the IRS, Mel B. responds to abuse rumors, and Maya Angelou's posthumous video "Harlem Hopscotch" is out.
Instagram/Alicia Keys
By Jolie A. Doggett	· December 29, 2014 October 27, 2020
We hope you're having a great Monday so far! Here's what we're talking about as we start our week:
The wait is over! Alicia Keys has given birth to a bouncing baby boy! Genesis Ali Dean was born at 1:52am on Saturday, December 27, weighing in at six pounds, five ounces. Keys shared a picture on Instagram of the newborn's footprints with the caption "The joy of joy is joy!! It's a boy! We are so grateful! #blessings!!" This is her second child with hubby Swizz Beatz, who has two other children from his previous marriage. Congratulations Swizz and Alicia! [Clutch]
Over the weekend, TMZ broke news that Solange Knowles was hit with a tax lien from the state of California just three days after her wedding. Apparently, the singer-designer owes over $50,000 in unpaid taxes from 2010-2012. But Knowles is taking it all in stride. In fact, if it weren't for the media's rumor mill, she never would have known about the lien. She tweeted yesterday, "Well thanks for letting me know, lol…Good looking out, yo." [TMZ]
Mel B. is putting rumors of marital discord to bed. After being hospitalized for an overdose of alcohol and tranquilizers and being seen with scratches and bruises on her body, rumors began to swirl that the former Spice Girl was being abused by her husband Stephen Belafonte. But Mel B. posted a pic of her and her hubby on Instagram with the caption: "I'm very good…and for the record, my hubby would never lay a hand on me sorry [I] took so long but any response fuels rumors #lovemyfamily." [Hello Beautiful]
President Obama doesn't think race relations have gotten worse in America despite the protests taking place throughout the country. In a recent interview with NPR, President Obama insisted that distrust between police and minority communities is nothing new and that race relations have improved over the last few decades. "From the perspective of African-Americans or Latinos in poor communes who have been dealing with this all their lives, they wouldn't suggest somehow that it's worse now than it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago," he said. [NPR]
The posthumous release of Maya Angelou's new album, Caged Bird Songs, put music to her iconic poetry. Now, we have visuals to add to the upbeat readings of some her most famous poems. Take a look at the video for "Harlem Hopscotch" from Maya Angelou's posthumous album, Caged Bird Songs.

If you only know Van McCoy from his big disco hit of the 70s, then you've got plenty to learn – because the man was very active in soul music during the decade before – a great singer, and a hugely productive songwriter whose tunes provided material for many other big names of his time! Van's tunes often have a great mix of soul and sophistication – a classy approach that's sometimes dubbed uptown soul, and which balances deeply heartfelt vocals with stepping grooves and just the right subtle use of larger backings – all in a way that perfectly enhances the special qualities of the lyrics. That approach is used often here, amidst a few other cuts that echo northern or deep soul modes – all brought together with the usual fantastic Ace Records notes, packaging, and sound quality.

Bucks 106, Celtics 95: Bucks drop Celtic scrubs, get ready for Atlanta this weekend
By Frank Madden Apr 14, 2010, 11:27pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Bucks 106, Celtics 95: Bucks drop Celtic scrubs, get ready for Atlanta this weekend
The game itself? Not the most serious of affairs. With four out of five starters resting, the Celtics made it clear at tip-off that they weren't too concerned with generating any momentum for the playoffs, though considering the age of the Big Three that's fairly understandable. Instead, Doc Rivers rolled out a Rondo-and-a-bunch-of-random-dudes lineup that most certainly will never see the court when things get restarted this weekend. So much for fan appreciation night. Anyway, Rondo was terrific--seems to be a recurring theme against the Bucks--but the random dudes? They lived up to their randomness.
The Bucks on the other hand did have something to play for, knowing that a win coupled with a Miami loss (sans Wade, O'Neal and Haslem) against the Nets would bump them back into the fifth spot in the East. And while the box score suggests the Bucks were going easy on their starters, that had more to do with the bench outplaying them than Scott Skiles wanting to give the regulars a break. Ridnour couldn't miss, Stack was feeling vintage again, Ilyasova was rainbowing jumpers. Heck, even Dan Gadzuric was stuffing the stat sheet in the second half against a pretty tragic frontline that prominently featured Shelden Williams and Brian Scalabrine.
But while the Bucks did their part, the Nets perhaps predictably found a way to lose against the Heat's D-League crew, denying Milwaukee a chance to renew acquaintances with the real Celtics in the first round. That locks the Bucks into the sixth seed, about eight spots higher than most experts predicted in October.
Next stop: Atlanta.
Luke Ridnour: 27 min, 17 pts, 6/6 fg, 3/3 threes, 2/2 ft, 8 ast, 2 reb, 1 to
Ridnour finished 2010 showing off exactly why 2010 was such a memorable season for him. After Jennings promisingly ripped a couple jumpers to start the game, the rookie had a couple defensive lapses and yielded to Ridnour, who along with Ilyasova and Stackhouse got the Bucks back on track. Pretty standard stuff: give him a hint of daylight and a chance to set his feet, and Ridnour will make you pay. He didn't fare any better trying to stop Rondo, but on a night like this it didn't really matter.
Jerry Stackhouse: 28 min, 17 pts, 7/11 fg, 3/5 threes, 0/2 ft, 5 reb, 4 ast
Stack looked pretty out of gas a couple weeks back, but apparently even old dudes can get their second wind. He's almost no threat to score off the drive, but for whatever reason he's still effective operating out of the post--maybe defenders will realize at some point he's just going to shoot over them every time? Stack's now cracked double-digits in four of five and is basically the only other guy aside from Salmons who seems to gets isos, which is kind of hilarious in an "our offense is so screwed" kind of way.
Dan Gadzuric: 26 min, 14 pts, 7/12 fg, 0/1, 9 reb, 2 stl
There was a time when Gadz was liable to drop a 14/9 line every couple weeks. Now is not that time. But let's focus on the positive: Gadz surpassed his previous season highs of eight points and eight rebounds by doing what Gadz does: running around, jumping up and down, and throwing the ball in the direction of the rim enough to rack up 14 points. There may have been an airballed, step-back 20-footer from the left corner mixed in there somewhere.
69-36. A monster night from the bench, which shot 56% (28/50) en route to a +33 edge on the Celtics subs. Of course, it should be noted that most of the Celtics bench was moonlighting as the Celtics starting lineup, and the C's even signed a guy named Oliver Lafayette off the street (OK, the D-League) this afternoon, seemingly with the sole intention of losing this game.
In fact, it turns out the Yahoo box score was missing Lafayette entirely--they didn't have time to add him to their NBA database apparently--hence the C's point total only add up to 88.
.506. The Bucks' offense these days is, uh, interesting. Aside from the occasional John Salmons drive, they basically just chuck jumpers with little pretense of scoring around the cup. That's translated into plenty of bricks since Bogut went down, but the pseudo-Celtics they faced tonight allowed plenty of open shots and the Bucks moved the ball well (25 ast), didn't make many mistakes (7 to) and, yes, made shots (51%).
28. The Bucks set out to win the game but still managed to keep everyone under 28 minutes on the night. Hooray, depth! The Bucks also scored 28 points in the paint, tying their post-Bogut high. And yes, that's still terrible.
Bench. The Bucks' second unit had the benefit of facing the worst the Celtics had to offer, and they did what they're supposed to do. It's also what we've seen from them for much of the season--nothing spectacular, but they play consistently, make more shots than you'd expect from a group that considers Stackhouse their go-to guy, and defend with enough intensity that it's tough to go on big runs against them.
Playing Big(ger). The Hawks crushed the Bucks on the glass (48-34) and in the block column (11-1) on Monday, so it could be a long series from a physicality standpoint. Hmm. At least tonight the Bucks kept it respectable, outrebounding the C's 41-34--the first time they've won that column since the Nets win five games ago.
Finishing. Whatever happens in the next couple weeks, you have to admit this is a pretty loveable team. Surpassing all expectations, they broke the usual Buck pattern of good starts and miserable finishes to rack up the most wins Milwaukee has seen since the crew that went to the Eastern Conference Finals. 46 wins! Pretty crazy.
Two Bad
PG post problems. Jennings' complete lack of strength makes him an easy target in the post, yet we haven't seen many teams try to take advantage of it--off the top of my head, Billups and Stuckey were two of the only guys who seemed to actively try to bully the little guy down low. Rondo made it look easy on a couple occasions, as Jennings looked completely out of sorts unless he got a hard double to help. Here's a hint, Brandon: if your guy catches the ball five feet from the hoop with his back to you, consider putting a forearm or maybe a hand into his backside. At least let him know you're there. I don't expect Bibby to get many post touches in the playoffs, but the Hawks do have the ability to go big with Crawford at the point.
Bulls in. It's not like we needed much motivation to root against the Bulls, but the whole pick-swapping thing made it even more of an issue. Alas, the Chris Bosh injury and subsequent Raps collapse came just in time: the Bulls won tonight against an unmotivated Bobs squad in Charlotte, locking up the 8th seed. That means the Bucks will have to settle for the 15th pick in the first round.

Q: Facebook SDK 4.7.0 logs ClassNotFoundException for AppEventsLogger I integrated the FB SDK in my Android app via Gradle for log-in and tracking events. Log-in works fine, but the logcat keeps showing me an exception every 15 seconds once I try to log an app event:
D/com.facebook.appevents.AppEventsLogger: Got unexpected exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.facebook.a.b

It gets thrown in
PersistedEvents' readAndClearStore() method
Here's my code for logging the event:
AppEventsLogger logger = AppEventsLogger.newLogger(this);
    Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
    parameters.putString(AppEventsConstants.EVENT_PARAM_CURRENCY, "EUR");
    parameters.putString(AppEventsConstants.EVENT_PARAM_CONTENT_TYPE, "product");
    parameters.putString(AppEventsConstants.EVENT_PARAM_CONTENT_ID, id);

    logger.logEvent(AppEventsConstants.EVENT_NAME_VIEWED_CONTENT,
            1.99,
            parameters);

I mean com.facebook.a.b looks like a proguard issue to me. But in the FB SDK docs they clearly state that you do not need to enter any proguard rules for it to work. This error also shows when I don't minify my app and also if I download the sdk from github and include it as a module.

A: i have a similar issue a few days ago with the logger in the Facebook SDK(v4.11.0):
D/com.facebook.a.a(PID): Got unexpected exception: java.io.WriteAbortedException: Read an exception; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.json.JSONObject

And in their documentation they said the following:

You don't have to perform any additional steps to use ProGuard for the Facebook Android SDK. For instructions on Proguard, see Android Tools Project Site, Running ProGuard.

After looking what was causing to not log any of my events in release environment i added the following rule to my proguard file and then magically started working well:
-keep class com.facebook.** { *; }

We already open a ticket to the facebook developers team in order to have more information about this. https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/250752828645777/

A: Use in gradle instead of sdk:4.11.0:
compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.23.0') {

In the UK millions of surgical procedures are carried out each year in both the NHS and the private sector. In the vast majority of cases the surgery goes to plan, and the patient makes a full and satisfactory recovery.

It's time for the Week 9 eviction on Big Brother 20, and spoilers tease that Thursday's live show could be a wild one. There shouldn't be any major surprises when it comes to the votes for eviction, but the BB20 players aren't fully aware that there's a Battle Back competition coming and this could throw off some people's plans for the coming week.
As the Inquisitr has previously shared, Haleigh and Faysal were put up for eviction by Head of Household Angela, and they remained on the block after the Power of Veto ceremony. Big Brother spoilers reveal that even though it hasn't been discussed in detail with Faysal, everybody seems to know that he'll be going out over Haleigh. The two nominees have been spending a lot of time together in anticipation of his needing to head to the jury house.
Viewers know that there's a Battle Back coming up in Thursday's show and some of the houseguests expect it too. As Big Brother Updates shared via Twitter, Brett and Tyler have talked on the live feeds about how Faysal might not be campaigning to stay because he's expecting a Battle Back to save him.
At this point, it looks like Sam will probably vote to keep Faysal, in part to try to stay on his good side and in part because she dislikes Haleigh. The rest of the houseguests are expected to vote against Fessy, although JC has played with the idea of switching his vote.
Because there's no real campaigning or indecision, several of the remaining BB20 guests have been whispering about who to nominate next. Some have worried this might be a double eviction week, but fans know it's not.
Tyler and Kaycee have reaffirmed their final two deal, and Big Brother spoilers note that Tyler has told Kaycee that JC has been bugging him about Kaycee and Angela supposedly having a deal. Of course, Tyler and Angela are close, and he's been sharing that with Kaycee, while assuring her that she doesn't have to worry. Brett is essentially on the fringe here trying to figure out who's aligned with who and who he might be able to connect with for his own safety.
There was a brief glimpse on the live feeds, as seen on Twitter, about the competition coming up on Thursday night, and Big Brother spoilers on Twitter from suggest that the players will have to stand on a disc and try to maintain their balance while they spin and rotate. Right now, it's not clear whether there will be two competitions, one for HOH and one for Battle Back, or if there might be a combined battle on the way.
In the latest discussions on Thursday afternoon, many of the players heading into Week 10 are voicing concerns about JC. As the Inquisitr previously shared, there was a lot of drama related to JC in the past day or so after he did questionable things to both Haleigh and Tyler. Big Brother spoilers, however, detail that the buzz among houseguests is over JC's gameplay, not what happened with Haleigh and Tyler.
An insider shared via Twitter that there has been a discussion among the producers regarding JC's antics. Haleigh did complain to them, and Tyler reportedly has been made aware of what happened that involved him. However, at least so far, Tyler apparently hasn't formally complained. It sounds as if the producers will likely leave JC in the game, but warn him to watch his behavior.
Tyler, Brett, Angela, and Kaycee have all talked about the possibility of JC winning HOH next and causing their group trouble in terms of evictions. If anybody else wins, it sounds as if Haleigh is the next target, with Sam as a backup option. However, there are ways that this approach could fall apart and fans will be curious to see who wins HOH for Week 10.
Stay tuned for more Big Brother spoilers as these next few competitions play out. It's only a matter of time now before this group has to start making tough decisions and turn on one another and things could get pretty interesting, as Season 20 marches toward its finale.

French President Macron Is Slapped In The Face During A Visit To A Small Town
By Eleanor Beardsley
Published June 8, 2021 at 10:08 AM MDT
Philippe Desmazes
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, arrive for a lunch Tuesday in Valence, France. A man slapped the president in the face during the French leader's visit to a small town in southern France.
Updated June 8, 2021 at 3:27 PM ET
French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped in the face as he shook hands in a crowd during a visit Tuesday to a small town in southern France. Two men, both age 28, have been arrested. They risk three years in prison and a $50,000 fine over an attack on a public official.
The scene, which was filmed, shows Macron working a rope line in the town of Tain-l'Hermitage. While shaking Macron's hand, a man is able to slap the president's face before security intervenes.
French media said the two arrested are identified with the yellow vest movement — the mostly white, working-class protests that dogged Macron politically and personally during much of 2018 and 2019.

— BFMTV (@BFMTV) June 8, 2021
The slapper yelled, "Montjoie Saint-Denis, à bas la Macronie." Part of the phrase is a 12th century royalist slogan that today has become a rallying cry of the far right. The other part means "down with Macronism."
Several hours afterward, Macron played down the incident in an interview with a local newspaper, Le Dauphiné Libéré. "Everything is fine," he said.
"You have to relativize this incident, which is I think an isolated one. We can't let this take over the public discussion of more important issues which concern everyone's lives."
Macron said the country could not let a few ultraviolent individuals take over the public debate.
"They don't deserve it," he said.
French politicians from across the political spectrum were quick to condemn the attack.
Former socialist President François Hollande tweeted, "To attack a President of the Republic is to give an unbearable intolerable blow to our institutions."
And far-right leader Marine Le Pen called the behavior unacceptable and deeply deplorable in a democracy.
"I am the first opponent of Emmanuel Macron, but he is the president of the Republic," she said in an interview.
"We can fight him politically, but we cannot afford to have to the slightest violence."
French news channels played the video and analyzed the incident nonstop. Some commentators questioned whether the security around Macron was good enough. Others said the president had taken a risk because he got back out of the car to go shake people's hands — an act that wasn't planned.
Most commentators agreed that a French president must be able to get out and circulate among the people.
Citing France's traditions of free expression and democracy, Macron told Le Dauphiné Libéré that the responsibility that goes with those freedoms means there should be no violence or hatred in speech or in actions.
The incident won't stop him from greeting members of the public, the president said.

Salute to Seniors: Julia Collum of Villa Walsh Academy
NJ Salute to Seniors
Robert Kellert
Salute To Seniors is a medium for "senior farewells". We invite this year's seniors to tell their stories from the past four years. With the loss of the spring season we hope we can offer a chance to reflect on all the great moments this class did get to experience.
The series will run into the summer. Please note that there is a queue of submissions that keeps growing so there may be a wait until final publishing, but we will get to your piece.
For instructions on how to submit a piece please see this announcement article.
Julia Collum
Villa Walsh Academy
What was your greatest accomplishment?
There was a 6-minute difference in my time from Footlocker Regionals junior and senior year, which to me symbolizes my recovery from back surgery. Junior year, I ran the race because I'd missed almost the entire cross country season because I was recovering from a spinal fusion and just wanted to "race". It was less than a month after I'd been cleared to run, and I was so slow that my name doesn't even appear in the results, but I was so happy just to be running. Senior year, I ran in the junior-senior race, was 6 minutes faster, and medaled. I was so proud when they announced my name because I'd come so far from a year ago.
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
I had a major spinal fusion surgery at the end of sophomore year. I couldn't run for 6 months, and recovering from this surgery is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. When I came back to junior year winter track, I'd lost so much speed and strength. I was so frustrated but knew that it would come back eventually with the proper training. Overall, I stayed pretty positive, something that wouldn't have been possible without the steady support of my amazing teammates. I worked really hard through spring track, summer training, and cross country to regain my endurance and racing abilities. Finally, at XC Groups this past season, I broke my Holmdel PR and knew that I had surpassed where I previously was.
What will you miss the most?
Spending time with my teammates is hands down the best part of track and cross country and what I'm most upset about leaving. I just loved that there were 2 hours after school every day and more time on weekends, where my friends and I consistently hung out and had so much fun. If I didn't love my teammates, I wouldn't have continued running and wouldn't have improved so much. Thanks to track and cross country, I found my absolutely best friends and strongest support system.
What advice would you give to younger athletes?
Mental strength and endurance is just as important as (or maybe even more important than) your physical fitness and speed. The athletes who are able to go above and beyond are those who set a goal, create a plan of action, and don't let anything get in their way. Resilience is key when hardship arises: be flexible enough to adapt, and strong enough to keep moving forwards. Determination, dedication, and discipline set apart the best from the mediocre.
What influence has your coach had with respect to your performance and overall life goals?
Over the past 4 years, I've had over 10 coaches between cross country, winter track, and spring track. Each coach has brought a unique dynamic to the team and taught us their own lessons. Through this frequent turnover, I've also learned how to adjust my training and what works for me to different coaching styles, how to interact with different coaches, and how to find or create continuity when there's lots of change.
What are your post-high school or college plans?
I'm going to George Washington University and plan on joining the club cross country and track team. I also want a half marathon in the near future (unfortunately the NJ half, which I was planning on running, was postponed), and if that goes well, maybe some more.
Who would you like to say 'thank you' to?
1) All of my coaches, especially the cross country ones, Coach Ehmann, Coach DeGraw, and Coach Frange, because they all taught me something new about running and helped me grow as an athlete and as a person in different ways
2) My teammates, especially Hope Crann and Sarah Hanifin, for pushing me to be my best, making running fun even when it wasn't, supporting me through every single obstacle I've had to face, and making me more confident in myself
3) The officials and the people from other teams who I've seen at meets for the past 4 years and become friendly with for making me look forwards to racing even more.

Q: How to loop through object and insert into SQL Server 2008 I'm using VB.NET AND SQL SERVER 2008
I've  Array of object that I need to INSERT into SQL SERVER 2008 this is the object
this object will be Inserted in to three tables :

*

*First table will have the report information : [ id ,reportName , description , style ] after inserting this information i'll use the @@IDENTITY of this Row as FK for the second Table

*SECOND table : [id , id_first_table, comment,complete,finished,name,started,outcome]
Question will come with the third table
How can i loop through the checklist Element and inserting it to the third table using the second table id till the end of element
like :
 [id , id_second_table, 101 ,820]
 [id , id_second_table'sameid', 101,831]

Here is what i have tried  :
 DECLARE @reportId INT , @fieldId INT

 INSERT INTO
 dbo.tblReport(strReportName,strReportDescription,strReportStyle,
 strScource,dtmCreated)
 VALUES ('caustic' , 'titration caustic', 'simple table' ,'user' ,  getdate())
 SELECT @reportId = @@IDENTITY

 INSERT INTO dbo.tblReportFields
 (lngReports,strFieldName,bolComment,bolComplete,bolFinished,
 bolOutCome,bolStarted,bolUser)
 VALUES (@reportId ,'caustic titration' , 1,0,1,0,0,0)
 SELECT @fieldId = @@IDENTITY

 --LOOP AND INSERT ALL THE checklist Element

  INSERT INTO dbo.tblReportTask (lngReportFields,lngChecklist,lngTask)
  VALUES (@fieldId, 814 , 1443)

any ideas on the best way of doing this will be also considered

A: Okay, your info was a little hard to work with since your Object and SQL Statements don't quite match up.  However, here is basically how you do it.  I hope you can relate it back to your problem.
This is how you insert the Report and ReportFields tables.  I didn't include the SQL for the ReportFields table since it is similar to the Report one.
  Dim reportID As Integer = 0
  Dim fieldID As Integer = 0
  Using tmpCONN As New SqlConnection(tmpConnStr)
    Dim tmpSQL As New StringBuilder
    tmpSQL.AppendLine("INSERT INTO dbo.tblReport(strReportName,strReportDescription,strReportStyle,strScource,dtmCreated) ")
    tmpSQL.AppendLine(" VALUES ")
    tmpSQL.AppendLine("(@NAME, @DESC, @STYLE, @SOURCE,@CREATED); ")
    tmpSQL.AppendLine("SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS ScopeID; ")
    Using tmpCMD As New SqlCommand(tmpSQL.ToString, tmpCONN)
      tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NAME", Obj.Name)
      tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DESC", Obj.Description)
      tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@STYLE", Obj.Stype)
      tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SOURCE", Obj.Source)
      tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CREATED", Date.Now)
      reportID = tmpCMD.ExecuteScalar
    End Using

    'Do same type of insert here for the ReportFields table.  Instead of reportID,'
    'it would return fieldID.'

    'This is the loop to insert to Tasks'
    For Each chk As chkObj In Obj.Checklist
      tmpSQL = New StringBuilder
      tmpSQL.AppendLine("INSERT INTO dbo.tblReportTask (lngReportFields,lngChecklist,lngTask) ")
      tmpSQL.AppendLine(" VALUES ")
      tmpSQL.AppendLine("(@FIELD_ID, @CHECK_ID , @TASK) ")
      Using tmpCMD As New SqlCommand(tmpSQL.ToString, tmpCONN)
        tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FIELD_ID", fieldID)
        tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FIELD_ID", chk.cl_id)
        tmpCMD.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FIELD_ID", chk.ts_id)
        tmpCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()
      End Using
    Next
  End Using

Bosnia will take back and try two captured Islamic state fighters
SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Bosnia is preparing to take back two of its nationals who are suspected of fighting for Islamic State in Syria and are now in detention in a Kurdish-run camp in the north of that country, its security minister said on Monday.
Hundreds of people are believed to have left Europe to fight for Islamic State in Syria and Iraq but, with the Islamist militant group down to its last shred of territory, more and more of them are asking to come home.
U.S. President Donald Trump has asked the European allies to take back more than 800 IS fighters who have been captured and to put them on trial. But many countries, citing security concerns, are unwilling to allow their return.
Dragan Mektic said that security agencies had checked the identity of some people captured and detained in Syria, and that two of them were confirmed to be the Bosnian nationals.
"Interpol international warrants have been issued for them," said Mektic, who declined to reveal their identity.
Sarajevo-based Klix.ba news portal reported that the two men could be Ibro Cefurovic, 24, from the northwestern town of Velika Kladusa, and Armin Curt, 22, from Sarajevo, who both were detained by the Kurdish militia more than a year ago.
"We are now working on technical details related to their concrete transfer," Mektic said, adding they could be flown to Bosnia by the end of March and then immediately handed over to prosecutors.
According to a 2014 criminal code law, all Bosnians who leave the country to fight in foreign wars must be processed under terrorism charges.
Bosnia's state court has tried and convicted 46 people who have returned from Syria or Iraq in the past few years.
According to Bosnian intelligence, 241 adults and 80 children left Bosnia or the Bosnian diaspora in 2012-2016 for Syria and Iraq, where 150 more children were born. About 100 adults, including 49 women, remained there while at least 88 have been killed or died.
Several women with children have pleaded with the Bosnian authorities to be allowed to return home but there is still no clear policy in place on how to deal with them because their children do not hold Bosnian citizenship.
There have been reports that other Bosnian nationals were captured during the fall of the remaining Islamic State enclave last week.

Inbox: Can Sox gain from keeping Quintana?
White Sox beat reporter Scott Merkin answers fans' questions
By Scott Merkin
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Here are a few more questions I received in the Opening Day White Sox Inbox.Why do the White Sox need to trade Jose Quintana? He would still be on contract when the young ones peak. -- Sean, Pendleton, Ore.Quintana becomes a bit of a quandary for the
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Here are a few more questions I received in the Opening Day White Sox Inbox.
Why do the White Sox need to trade Jose Quintana? He would still be on contract when the young ones peak.
-- Sean, Pendleton, Ore.
Quintana becomes a bit of a quandary for the White Sox in that he would greatly help any team, including the Sox. One of the reasons he remains as the team's Opening Day starter is that the lofty demand set for the southpaw has not been met. He's every bit that valuable as a player, person and teammate, but he also remains the player worth the greatest talent haul in return for a potential trade.
Does the Yoan Moncada situation shake out similar to the way Kristopher Bryant was called up? Later callup, more control?
-- Jim, Brookfield, Ill.
:: Submit a question to the White Sox Inbox ::
The biggest issue for all of these highly touted White Sox prospects becomes Major League readiness. Control might be on the collective minds of the club, but as general manager Rick Hahn pointed out numerous times, none of these players will be rushed to validate a trade or because there might be a temporary need on the infield or in the starting rotation. When they arrive, the team wants them to be ready to stay.
Where is Tyler Saladino going to go when Moncada comes up? Too solid IMO to sit.
-- Gary, Chandler, Ariz.
I agree that Saladino has earned playing time. While he should start the year at second, one of the bonuses of his skill set is that Saladino can play all over. So by the time Moncada comes up, there may be openings elsewhere due to trade. Saladino will get his at-bats.
Where is Alec Hansen going to start and finish the year?
-- Jon, Columbus, Ohio
Hansen, who could emerge as one of the steals of the 2016 MLB Draft as a second-round pick, finished '16 with two starts at Class A Kannapolis so could be back there or at Class A Advanced Winston-Salem. The destination is up to Hansen's performance and really more important than where he begins. If all goes really well, he might rise up to a few starts for Triple-A Charlotte.
How much playing time do you expect Matt Davidson to get at the Major League level?
-- Ken, Crestwood, Ill.
Davidson has worked through a couple of rough Minor League seasons, rebuilt his swing, broke his foot in his one big league game in '16 and then tweaked his swing a little more. He has bounced back in Spring Training after a slow start, and he should break camp as one of the team's designated hitters. Manager Rick Renteria plans to rotate a number of players through that spot.
Do you think the spring results will make the White Sox deviate from the promised long-term rebuild strategy?
-- George, Highland Park, Ill.
Nothing that happened in spring changed their mind. Even if the team is successful early during the '17 regular season, general manager Rick Hahn would have to seriously decipher if it's fool's gold before altering his direction.

The government is finalising a contingency plan to protect the millions of foreign Filipino workers amid a global financial meltdown that threatens escalating unemployment, said officials.
While the economy remains relatively stable and has limited exposure to fallen US and European financial institutions, the crisis could force many governments abroad to cut jobs in sectors where Filipinos are employed.
About 10 percent of the 90 million Filipinos are overseas, and their remittances have become the backbone of the economy - in 2007 they sent home US$14 billion, or about 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), according to official figures.
The overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) work as maids in countries from Hong Kong to Singapore, as nurses and health workers in the US and Europe, and as truck drivers in Iraq and Afghanistan. About a third of the world's seafarers are also Filipinos, with about 270,000 employed by foreign maritime agencies.
Their monthly pay ranges from $400-$600, and they spend up to 10 months of the year away from their families just so they can provide barely enough for five people, according to government data.
But as the global financial crisis has made them extremely vulnerable, and by the extension the Philippine economy, presidential spokesman Jesus Dureza said: "We should be prepared for a worst-case scenario, because our country is part of what we call a global village. If their stomach aches, we will also feel it.
"The president has ordered the labour and foreign affairs departments to prepare a contingency plan in case they lose their jobs."
He said a recession in the US, where about two million Filipinos work, could lead to mass lay-offs. To cushion the economic impact of the crisis, Dureza said President Gloria Arroyo was set to sign a law that would provide for the restructuring of housing loans to ensure easier terms. The president also extended the term of a special committee that seeks to protect the welfare of over one million OFWs in the Middle East.
The state-run Technical Education and Skills Development Authority was also asked to prepare practical and vocational courses for those who may be affected by the crisis.
Connie Bragas-Regalado of Migrante International, an NGO working for migrant rights, warned that many middle-income families in Hong Kong or Singapore, for instance, would look for ways to cut spending. "Of particular concern are the domestic helpers or maids and other contract workers. If their employers lose their jobs or their jobs are affected by the crisis, the maids could be sent home or they may be forced to take pay cuts," said Regalado, a former maid who worked for 13 years in Hong Kong.
"When the Asian financial crisis struck in 1997, I was in Hong Kong and there were massive job cuts. Many of the expat employers lost their jobs. Their first thought was cost-cutting measures and they had to terminate their maids," Regalado said. "We are likely to see the same trend now, since this fresh crisis is global.
"If the workers cannot send home money to their families, this would also lead to social problems," she said. "The government should put up safety nets for these workers who may be displaced."
Foreign Undersecretary Esteban Conejos, heading up the contingency plan, said low-skilled workers were "the most vulnerable".
most vulnerable would be the low skilled workers, our domestic helpers.
income to support or maintain the services of our domestic workers.
"The most vulnerable would be the low skilled workers, our domestic helpers," Conejos told foreign correspondents on 15 October. "With a prolonged recession, households would not have the necessary income to support or maintain the services of our domestic workers.
"We still hope for the best, but are planning for the worst," Conejos said. "We have to be ready in case the recession is deep and prolonged."
He said the contingency plan would be completed this month, and could include livelihood training. Banks would be encouraged to provide micro-financing to enable the returning workers to start small businesses.
Economic growth meanwhile was expected to slow from 7 percent GDP growth last year to about 5 percent this year, according to economists.
Augusto Santos, deputy director-general of the economic planning agency, said the public should not panic, insisting that macro-economic fundamentals remained steady. He said the economy at worst would only contract and not crash.
But with local unemployment up to 8 percent in the first quarter of the year, Regalado said the public should be prepared to tighten their belts and ride out the financial storm. Already, the central bank has said dollar remittances could slow down amid the crisis.
"I expect the families of the migrants to suffer the most," she said.

State Sen. Zellnor Myrie on Gentrification, Master Plans and the Inherent Bias of Cops
By Dave Colon

This has been a bloody year for cyclists across the city, but especially in Brooklyn, where 17 of the city's 26 cycling deaths and two dozen pedestrian killings have occurred. Of the cyclist deaths in Brooklyn, 13 of them have happened in areas of the borough where the city hasn't added safe biking infrastructure, even as city officials are encouraging people to ride. At the same time, cycling is on the rise among people of color, according to State Senator Zellnor Myrie. So it all adds up to an inequitable, dangerous situation. To plot the way forward, Myrie, a Democrat, will host a forum in Crown Heights on Wednesday night to "learn … how we can fight to make biking safe and accessible to everyone in our community," he said. Before the forum, Myrie spoke with Streetsblog's Dave Colon about what the future of Vision Zero enforcement should look like.
Dave Colon: Brownsville, which is in your district, has more injury-causing crashes there than the much-larger Upper West Side, partially because Manhattan gets a lot of the bike infrastructure. Meanwhile, some communities worry that more bike lanes will cause gentrification. Do they?
Zellnor Myrie: It is really important for us, particularly in this context, to recognize that perception, can oftentimes trump reality, even if that's an often-used trope. And I think that in a neighborhood where folks are being displaced, any incoming new infrastructure, whether that be a physical building or a major change in traffic like a bike lane or some or some other mechanism, [it's] going to trigger that that fear of displacement. The difficulty is, we never have the actual conversation about whether or not this has anything to do with gentrification and whether or not this is a mechanism and a tool that has been used to push people out. I think that there are very concrete things that we can point to as forces of that. And I think because there is a natural fear and response to things that are new in the neighborhood, that the issues become unnecessarily conflated. … It takes a lot of communication in order to hedge against the things that start percolating up and before they get out of control. There really needs to be a process by which the planning is done with the community and not at the community. I think you meet the biggest resistance when the community feels like they're being planned at and not with.
DC: But you're on board with the mayor's "Green Wave" plan or Corey Johnson's "Streets Master Plan"? Or will they make your constituents would put upon because both are kind of saying, "We have a huge vision no matter where you are, we have these connections that we want to make."
ZM: Let's take this in the transportation context. We really shouldn't be doing it piecemeal. And part of why there's difficulty and disparities, is that we have approached transportation planning in [a] somewhat haphazard way and just being reactionary. It hasn't been something that's comprehensive, even though this is New York City and most of us travel outside of our neighborhood on a pretty regular basis. So we should be planning in that way. But added to that, again, is this notion of being inclusive. The first piece is coming up with a comprehensive plan so that the person who's in a transit desert has a safe and sound route to get to a major hub. But you also should be talking to the folks in that neighborhood about that transit desert, about improving the public transportation, and also speaking with the folks who have been in that community about how they think that they should be best utilized as well. Because even if you have the most meritorious plan, the best plan we've ever seen and it will take us into the 22nd century, if you have not communicated and worked with the folks who will be most impacted, then I think it is doomed for failure.
DC: So when we talk about communication, what can we do when elected officials argue for their own needs as drivers even when very few people in their district drive?
ZM: As an elected official, you are, of course responsible for representing the entirety of your community. And there is no elected official in the city that has a homogenous district where everyone is of the same view. And I think that it is incumbent upon those of us who have the honor of serving to ensure that both the majority and and minority voices have a full hearing. We all bring our perspectives to the table. I don't have a driver's license. I am a huge consumer of public transportation. And so I bring that that perspective to the conversations that we have around transportation. But you know, I am sympathetic both to the folks who are cyclists because I understand there is a life-and-death issue on protecting our cyclists. And I understand our drivers, particularly those who actually need to drive. We need to be very careful, certainly as elected officials, to protect against our own biases. And I think this is the best way to do that is elevate all the voices in the conversation.
DC: Yeah, but it seems like a lot of elected officials drive — and then get the idea that everyone else must be doing it, too. And as a result, they only listen to people who complain about traffic. Even the mayor last year said, "We're New Yorkers, we are always concerned about parking." What the heck, man? Who were Mayor de Blasio's "we" in that sentence?
ZM: Part of being on this side of things is, is there are going to be folks that you hear from in your office about particular issues because this is something that's most pressing to them, and they're going to be most passionate about that particular issue. And we are sometimes tempted to think that becauseI've heard from this particular group, this must be how things are all over, when in truth, it is next to impossible to hear every single issue that every person has in your district. There's a similar dynamic happening on transportation in my district. Most people don't drive. And that is a fact. But there is this notion from drivers who feel attacked by a particular conversation, there's a notion that they are under siege by most folks who, in fact, take public transportation and don't speak on these issues at all. We really have to guard against our natural instinct to have assumptions, and really be objective in looking at how we make our transportation policy.
DC: And speaking of one side of this debate, do you have any feelings on whether there are places in your district where free parking spaces should be removed or turned into paid parking?
ZM: To be frank, I haven't given thought to specific places where we should be doing this. The bike forum is one of a number of forms we're going to be doing around transportation, and I was hoping to kind of get the temperature of the community in order to start making those decisions and recommendations. You know, we have a really good opportunity politically, because there's going to be a lot of turnover on the City Council, the borough presidency and the citywide offices in short order [Election of 2021]. And so this period allows the community to present what they want done to the folks who want to be in these roles, since the DOT primarily responds to city elected officials. I'm hoping that, you know, these series of forums that we're putting on will help crystallize those visions.
DC: Do you think the NYPD does a good job of enforcing Vision Zero stuff? Or is done in a racially biased way?
ZM: So as you know I care very deeply about law enforcement's relationship with the communities I represent. And I'm always hesitant to encourage more enforcement, because the unfortunate reality is that in most instances where enforcement is increased, it is done so in a disproportionate manner, affecting folks of color. But I do think that if Vision Zero is going to be successful, the enforcement has to be across the board. And there can't be any particular group that escapes enforcement on a regular basis, or that is the brunt of that enforcement. Because then not only do you have the vision impeded because of the uneven enforcement — and the behavior that you're trying to discourage is not in fact discouraged — but any group that is being disproportionately affected won't engage with the vision as you'd like.
DC: I was just on Coney Island Avenue talking with people about traffic violence, and they were saying "The cops never do any enforcement here." You think, "Hmm, that's bad," but on the other hand, the NYPD has a pretty bad track record on traffic enforcement. So is the answer automated enforcement, so cops are less likely to pull over black and brown people?
ZM: Yeah, and correct me if I'm wrong, but we've seen for instance, with with the speed cameras, they really do slow drivers down. There is evidence that automated enforcement gets at the behavior that we're trying to discourage. And it is a pretty objective factual assessment of whether or not a violation occurred, it doesn't have a built-in history and the built-in biases that exist with our law enforcement, so that is something I would very interested in this exploring.
Sen. Zellnor Myrie's Bike Equity Forum will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Brightpoint Health, 803 Sterling Pl. between Rogers and Nostrand avenues.

Andre Ayew's honest message to Swansea City fans after Northampton brace as striker reveals Steve Cooper talks
The forward netted his first Swansea goals in more than three years in the Carabao Cup triumph over Northampton

Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from Wales Online - Weekday Swansea City FC
Andre Ayew has vowed to give his all to the cause while he remains at Swansea City having starred in the Carabao Cup win over Northampton Town on Tuesday night.
The Swans were trailing 1-0 to the League Two outfit until Ayew came off the bench for what was his first appearance for the club since their final Premier League game against Stoke City in May 2018 to score twice, with George Byers also netting.
They were the Ghana forward's first goals for the Swans in 1,185 days.
And while Ayew could yet depart the club this month, the cup hero has thanked head coach Steve Cooper for the way he has treated him since his return to Fairwood.
Andre Ayew celebrates after scoring for Swansea City
"I'm a Swansea player and I am working hard for the games that are coming up," the 29-year-old told the club's official website.
"The gaffer has been clear and honest with me and I want to thank him for that.
"He's given me a lot of confidence and trust in the way that he speaks to me. I really feel like I'm welcome and that's a good feeling.
"A lot of things have been said but, for me, what's important is to work hard, try to get to full fitness and, if I'm here, go for it."
Victory over the Cobblers ensured Swansea progressed into the second round of this season's competition, with Cooper's men drawn to face Cambridge United at the Liberty Stadium later this month.
As a result of his efforts against Keith Curle's side, Ayew could now be in contention to feature for the Swans in their Championship clash with Preston in South Wales on Saturday.
It's a far cry from how the picture looked just weeks ago when the forward appeared destined for the exit door, with the club eager to offload Ayew from the wage bill.
And Ayew has thanked the Jack Army for the reception they gave him in the win over Northampton, adding that he will continue to give his all for the cause while he remains at the club.
The curious Andre Ayew situation and why doing the unthinkable could actually end up helping Swansea City

"The fans gave me an unbelievable welcome. I'm so happy and touched and that sort of thing makes you want to work hard," he added.
"They have always been great with me and supporting me. That's why, so long as I'm in a Swansea shirt, I try to give everything I have for the club. I just want to do my best on the field for everyone."
