With her dark eyes and delicate, quick movements, at times Winona Ryder seems like a bird in flight. No wonder she excelled in the role of the Dying Swan/ ballet dancer Beth Macintyre, in Black Swan in 2010. Her fragility is the first thing you notice. Michael Shannon, her co-star in The Iceman, a drama about the mob serial killer Richard Kuklinski, says, "I feel very protective of her. It's like that King Kong vibe of 'everyone leave her alone.'"
Of course Ryder has never been left alone – not since the age of 17, when she got her break in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. And when, in 2001, she was charged with shoplifting in Beverly Hills, it was a guarantee of a media, if not a criminal, tag for life. Winona Ryder, the starlet who became a screwball.
The actress, 40, underwent her own personal rehabilitation years ago, and now Hollywood is rediscovering her too. Since her supporting role in Black Swan, she's had box-office success with Vince Vaughn in comedy The Dilemma, has just reunited with Burton for animated horror Frankenweenie, and is also receiving acclamation on the festival circuit for the part of Deborah Kuklinski, wife of Richard, in The Iceman.
No wonder she is chirruping away: she talks for minutes at a time, hardly pausing for breath, which she attributes to nerves. She barely looks 30, never mind 40, and you feel that if you cut her through, all you would find is sweetness. Even the Beverly Hills police described her as "a very nice lady."
Frankenweenie is the first movie Ryder has made with Burton in 21 years. His Beetlejuice and later Edward Scissorhands made her a star. She credits him with "her whole career." A career that is now entering a new phase. "As you get older, it becomes more about how good a role is rather than how large it is", she says. "So I loved those parts in Black Swan and The Iceman. When you are younger, we all think, 'I want to be the lead, I have to be the lead', but no offence to anyone, the supporting parts are often better.
"You're not going to find me like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, watching old movies that I have made. It's nice not to have everything focused on you. For example, with Natalie Portman in Black Swan, I felt, 'It's your turn now, I had my go.'
"Let's be honest, I had a good run at lead roles, and it's kind of nice to be out of it."
She did have a good run. After playing the cynical teenager Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice, Ryder became the goth alternative to the young Julia Roberts. Heathers, which also debuted in 1988, sealed her status. Although her agent had begged her not to do it, the dark, twisted comedy about teenage suicide was a global success. And then, in 1990, came Edward Scissorhands, the Burton movie which put her together with Johnny Depp. They became the Brangelina of grunge though famously Depp had to change his tattoo of "Winona Forever" to "Wino Forever" when they split in 1993. She then dated the up-and-coming actor Matt Damon.
Before her 30th birthday, she had a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and won Oscar nominations for playing May Welland in Scorsese's adaptation of Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence and Jo March in Little Women in 1994. But her punky sweetness didn't equip her to deal with Hollywood. Coming from an idealistic, bohemian background – Beat poet Allen Ginsberg was a family friend, and she spent part of her childhood growing up in a commune in California – pressure did not agree with her. Aged 20, she checked herself in to a medical facility, suffering from anxiety and depression. Due to start filming The Godfather Part III in 1990, she was too exhausted to get out of bed.
"Remember, I was so young when I started acting," she explains. "I have been doing this now for 30 years. And after a while, you get weary. But you are so conditioned to working, and you are surrounded by all these people telling you what to do, that you can just go mental."
Perhaps this is the key to where it all went awry. Between 1996 and 2000, Ryder made films like Alien Resurrection, Stacy Cochran's panned romance Boys and Autumn in New York with Richard Gere. It wasn't a fulfilling period, although she did serve as executive producer on James Mangold's Girl, Interrupted, which she fought for four years to get made. She was acclaimed for her leading role as Susanna Kaysen, although at the Oscars, it turned into her co-star Angelina Jolie's coronation, when the Hollywood ingenue won the Best Supporting Actress award.
Ryder went on to make the appropriately titled horror Lost Souls, and then in December 2001, was arrested on charges of shoplifting up to $5,000-worth of goods from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, and of possessing illegal prescription drugs.
A year later, she was sentenced to three years' probation, and 480 hours of community service. She did not make another film until 2006.
Perhaps it was an act of self-sabotage to remove herself from a road she didn't want to travel down any more. At any rate, Ryder credits the past few years as being "the best in my life."
"I just wanted a normal existence," she says, wistfully. "And that's what I have been concentrating on for the last five or 10 years. I live in San Francisco, I never could settle in Hollywood. I stay well away from Los Angeles and the business."
There is a child-like quality to Ryder. She brings it to the part of Deborah Kuklinski, a woman who doesn't probe too deeply into what her husband does. Ryder also avoids the things in life she finds too harsh.
She spends her time reading –she owns every paperback edition of her favourite novel, The Catcher in the Rye. She also plays guitar and is something of a rock chick –after Depp, she dated Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner, and until 2008, was engaged to indie rocker Blake Sennett from Rilo Kiley. Currently single, Ryder recently declared she needed to "get me a husband", but she seems deeply satisfied with the life she has created for herself.
"You don't want to wake up, be old, and find yourself with just work. I will only take a job now if it's special," she says.
"Special" includes The Iceman, and she is now filming Sylvester Stallone's new drama Homefront with James Franco.
"I am really happy," she says. "I am in a really good place."
'Frankenweenie' is released on 17 October; 'The Iceman' is released later this year

If I were looking to buy an awesome projector today, I would get the Sony VPL-HW45ES. I base this conclusion on previous testing of Sony's VPL-HW40ES projector (the predecessor to the VPL-HW45ES) versus comparable models using over $20,000 worth of gear, plus my own experience reviewing similarly priced projectors.
We do our best to stay on top of prices.
If something's changed, let us know.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $3,000.
In addition to The Wirecutter, I review projectors for Forbes and Sound+Vision magazine, and I have reviewed and written about projectors for CNET, Men's Journal, Home Theater, Residential Systems, and other magazines and websites for over 12 years. I have used a projector as my main "TV" for over a decade.
If you're curious about projectors and the technology in them, check out the "What makes a good projector," "Which projector technology is best?" and "How much does a decent projector cost?" sections below.
Anyone looking for a movie theater experience at home, wants to enjoy a massive "TV" for movies, sports, or gaming, or just doesn't want to settle for the mediocre picture quality of the largest LCD TVs (for more on this, check out Projectors vs. TVs: Giant-screen pros and cons). If you're just looking for an occasional "big screen" or don't care if the image isn't perfect, there are lower-priced options under $1,000, and some great cheap projectors.
If you already have a projector and are considering an upgrade, the age of your projector is likely the determining factor. Most projectors are much brighter than even the uber-expensive projectors from just a few years ago. If you're happy with your current projector, don't feel you need to upgrade unless you want something specific that a new model offers (like 3D or the potential for a larger screen).
In our last major test for this piece, conducted in early 2014, we compared the Sony VPL-HW40ES and Epson 5030 with an earlier upgrade pick, the JVC DLA-X35. We tested the two new projectors using Blu-ray, AT&T U-Verse, streaming content from Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime, and a series of objective tests including color and color temperature accuracy, brightness, and contrast ratio, using a PhotoResearch PR-650 photospectrometer, a Minolta LS-100 luminence meter, and an AVFoundry VideoForge. Since those tests, this category moved slowly, with few new competitors. But by late 2016, all three picks had been retired by their manufacturers.
In their place came new models from each company. Sony announced an updated version of the VPL-HW40ES, the VPL-HW45ES Full HD 3D home theater projector. The new projector features a built-in RF 3D transmitter, Sony's advanced SXRD panels, and Reality Creation technology, and is available for $2,000. Epson offers the $3,000 Home Cinema 5040UB and its $3,300 wireless counterpart, the 5040UBe, both of which support 4K streaming devices and UHD and HDR content. The new models deliver 2,500 lumens of brightness and a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Compatible with the HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 standards, they can display the entire sRGB color space, and DCI in Digital Cinema Mode.
At present, we've completed testing on the Epson 5040UB, and we've just received our test unit of the Sony VPL-HW45ES. Because of the difference in price and the slight changes in both, we're confident in provisionally recommending the Sony for most people, and the Epson as an upgrade pick.
To put it simply, the Sony VPL-HW40ES offered the best package of picture quality and ease of use during our last test. There are multiple factors that go into picture quality, and the Sony is above average, if not excellent, in nearly all of them.
First of all, the HW40ES is bright. I measured over 39 footlamberts on my 102-inch, 1.0-gain Stewart Filmscreen StudioTek 100 screen. For a projector, this is quite bright. It's not quite as bright as the Epson 5030, but it's still way more light than what projectors were capable of a few years ago. This is enough to create an image most would call "bright" if in a dark room. It can handle some room lighting, but no projector can truly compete with ambient light (you should consider curtains for daytime viewing with a projector). What this means is that you could have a 130-inch screen and still get a bright 24 fL (more than a movie theater. And that's if you don't get a screen with additional gain (that and other jargon is explained later on). If you get a smaller, 80-inch screen, you'll have an image as bright as most LCD TVs.
While overall light output determines how big a projected image you can have, contrast ratio is how punchy or "film-like" it is. A display with a low contrast ratio will appear washed out. The Sony, according to my measurement, has a native contrast ratio of around 5151:1. This is slightly less than I measured on last year's more expensive HW50ES but roughly the same as the Sony's contemporaneous competitor, the Epson 5030UB.
This contrast ratio, which is more than LCD TVs and many plasmas, means the the bright parts of the image are bright while at the same time the dark parts of the image are dark. The greater the contrast ratio, the bigger this difference. Ideally, you can have an image of a night sky where the stars are bright and the sky is totally black, like real life. The HW40ES does a better job than most projectors, though some are better. The image has reasonably dark blacks, while retaining the brightness in the bright parts of an image.
The Sony also has commendable input lag performance, which is important for gamers. Input lag is how long it takes a TV/projector to create an image, thanks to the speed of its internal processing. Input lag manifests itself as a delay between when you press a button and that action appears on screen. If you play a lot of first-person shooters, this could be the difference between making a shot and missing. The Sony's input lag can be as low as 26.5 ms when operating in Film Mode Auto 2 or Off. It's a merely average 60.4 ms with Film Mode Auto 1 activated. In Auto 1 mode, you get a little more realistic motion with 1080i (TV) content that's based on 24 frames-per-second film/video (most sitcoms, dramas, and all movies). There isn't any other picture quality reduction with Auto 2 and its faster processing. You can easily switch it back to Film Mode Auto 1 for when image quality is more important. It's worth mentioning that the Sony's 26.5 ms is one of the lowest I've measured in any projector.
When the VPL-HW40ES was released, we received one of the first review samples. Our own Chris Heinonen also writes for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, and he reviewed the HW40ES for them. Of his testing, he says: "The VPL-HW40ES projector produces almost 1,600 lumens with 50 hours on the bulb. Measuring contrast using a luminance meter I find a maximum contrast ratio in high lamp mode of 5,035:1."
He concludes, "So what does that make the VPL-HW40ES? It makes a projector that was a good value at $4,000 practically a steal at $2,500. It is incredibly bright, very accurate, and has an image that you will love. It also runs dead silent even in high lamp mode… Anyone that is looking for a projector in the $2,500 range should see the Sony before they make their choice."
You can also check out my review of the VPL-HW40ES at Forbes, where I cover a few things in greater depth and include color gamut charts before and after calibration that show how accurate the Sony's color is out of the box.
Sony has been continually improving its projectors for many, many years. There are more similarities with last year's models than there are differences. It's like Porsche's lineup: This year's 911 is very slightly better than last year's 911, but for the most part the car is very similar. Though (if you really know Porsches) some model years feature big changes, this isn't one of those years with Sony. This is why we're so confident recommending the new Sony VPL-HW45ES, even though we have yet to finish our hands-on testing of that model.
If I had to complain about something, it would be the brightness. While still very bright, there are projectors that are brighter for less money (see "A step down" below). However, at 39 fL, I doubt most people would have any complaints about the brightness (presuming you can control the light in the room, which is true of any projector).
The HW40ES has motion blur like all LCD-based displays (LCOS uses liquid crystal). There are two features to help reduce the motion blur. Film Projection inserts a black frame in between the actual video frames (this is called, appropriately, Black Frame Insertion). This does reduce motion blur/increase motion resolution, but only somewhat. On the downside, it can add a subtle flickering, although you may or may not notice it.
The other feature is called Motion Enhancer, which creates new frames to insert between the originals. This makes the motion seem ultra-smooth, which is colloquially (and somewhat pejoratively) called the Soap Opera Effect. Some people like this effect, others don't. It does do a better job reducing motion blur, however, than Film Projection.
The 40ES is also fairly large, though it's a normal size for a projector of this type. If you're used to small data projectors, or any inexpensive DLP model, you might be surprised. It's slightly larger than an A/V receiver.
There's also no built-in wireless option, but that's not really a big deal since you get better performance from standalone options anyway. If you don't want to run cables, I recommend the $187 IOGear Wireless HD Digital Kit, which we picked as the best wireless HDMI transmitter. It works better than the technology built into competing projectors like the Epson 5030UBe.
I don't see any of these as a particularly strong negative, so for most people, the Sony offers the best combination of price, light output, contrast, and color accuracy. In short, it's bright, looks great, and is easy to live with.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $3,000.
While much will be made of the 4K enhancement mode on the Epson 5040UB, by itself it really isn't a reason to recommend this model. Like eShift on JVC projectors, the 4K enhancement shifts the pixels on the screen a half pixel up then a half pixel over. This happens quickly and is designed to improve the apparent resolution while still allowing the device to use 1080p LCD panels. The result is not, of course, a "true" 4K image, but in certain situations it can provide smoother gradients and edges. Mostly it serves to remove the gaps between pixels (which you can sometimes see on other projectors when you're close to the screen).
More important than the resolution is the Epson 5040UB's ability to display the wider color gamut content from Ultra HD, with over 90 percent of the DCI/P3 color gamut. This feature gives you colors (deeper reds and blues, for example) that the Sony projector cannot display.
The motorized focus on the Epson is very solid and doesn't shift as it can on projectors that use manual dials. Most handy is the option to adjust the focus while you are standing at the screen, which makes it easier for you to get the image as sharp as possible without help.
The updated motorized lens system makes the Epson both easier to install and more flexible for screens that don't have a 16:9 aspect ratio. For example, people with screens in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio can program multiple lens memories; this way you can have the lens position and zoom change depending on if you are watching 16:9 content or 2.40:1 content, or anything else, so it fills the screen as much as possible.
The contrast ratio of the Epson is equal to or better than that of the Sony, while offering more overall light output (2,100 versus 1,600 when calibrated). So it will be even brighter on the same-size screen, or will allow you to get an even larger screen. It runs very quietly when not in high lamp mode (HDR/WCG content benefits from the brighter image in the high lamp setting, though).
This Epson model will work for gamers, with around 46 ms of input lag, but the Sony is lower in this regard.
While the 5040UB doesn't offer quite the same contrast ratios of the JVC projectors we've liked as upgrade models in the past, it sells for 33 percent less and is almost 50 percent brighter than the most recent JVC we tested. It's a great all-around projector, though for most people the cheaper Sony is a better overall deal.
If $2,500 is too much, consider our $1,000 projector pick.
The BenQ has one aspect that is actually better than the Sony: Motion blur. Because the BenQ is DLP, there's basically no motion blur without resorting to the Soap Opera Effect or Black Frame Insertion like the Sony does. So that, plus its low input lag of 33 ms, means that BenQ might be a better option for gamers.
You may have heard about the new TV/projector resolution called Ultra HD, also referred to as 4K. If you bought your TV or projector before 2016, it's probably 1080p, or 1920×1080. A 4K projector is at least 3840×2160. Since projectors make massive images, this increase in resolution will be visible (which isn't a given with smaller TVs). Check out Chris Heinonen's 4K Calculator to see how much you'd benefit.
Prior to CES 2017, we hadn't seen a 4K projector for less than $8,000, and there wasn't that much 4K content available to make use of the added resolution. Worth it? Not at those prices. As mentioned above, JVC and Epson have some models that fake 4K using 1080p chips, but that tech isn't quite the same thing (and those models are still expensive). Since resolution is only one aspect of picture quality and not the most important, we don't recommend any 4K projectors at this point.
But the situation is starting to change. The Optoma UHD60 DLP Projector will be available for $2,800 in May or June of 2017. If it lives up to the specs, it should be by far the most affordable way to produce a 100-inch, 4K image that's bright enough to be visible under most lighting conditions. While full specs aren't available yet, we know that the UHD60 supports HDR. (It uses the Rec.709 color gamut rather than the larger DCI/P3 gamut, though, so it can't capitalize on the expanded color range that UltraHD Blu-ray and streaming can offer.) It also offers vertical lens shift, a pair of HDMI 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2, RS232 and Ethernet for control, and output close to 3,000 lumens.
Of course the best projectors have good picture quality, but what does that mean? All but the cheapest projectors are 1080p, the same resolution as most HDTVs. They almost all also have colors that look realistic. All that leaves is brightness and contrast ratio.
Brightness, also called "light output" with a projector, is crucial. This determines how large of a screen you can have, what type of screen you can have (more on this in a moment), and, of course, how bright the image is. Projectors don't need to be as bright as a television, as they're not normally used in bright rooms.
Contrast ratio, or the difference between the darkest part of the image and the brightest, is the most important factor when it comes to picture quality. A projector (or TV for that matter) with a low contrast ratio will appear flat, washed out, and boring.
All projectors use one of three technologies to create an image: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon), and DLP (Digital Light Processing). DLP offers some advantages over LCD and LCOS, namely in motion resolution, lower 3D crosstalk, and overall image uniformity, but it comes up severely short in the most important aspect of picture quality: contrast ratio. Though many companies make DLP projectors, only one company (Texas Instruments) makes the DLP chips. As such, the projectors will perform fairly similarly in regards to native contrast ratio. I have reviewed many DLP projectors over the past few years, and while some have been quite good, none can compete on contrast ratio. When viewed side-by-side, the contrast ratio of projectors that use LCD or LCOS make DLP projectors look washed out and flat in comparison.
Also, some people are very susceptible to the "rainbow effect" that's common with inexpensive DLP projectors. This is when bright objects seem to have rainbow trails. Some people don't notice it, but it bothers others enough that they don't enjoy watching DLP projectors.
Lastly, very few DLP projectors in the $3,000 price range offer any kind of lens shift (the ability to aim a projector askew and still get a squared-off picture) and most have limited zoom ranges, making placement more of a challenge. For comparison, our projector pick has significant horizontal and vertical lens shift plus a wide zoom range, meaning you can place it in a wide variety of places in a room. Our step-up pick has motorized zoom with memory, so you can program in one setting for watching a 16×9 TV show, and a zoomed-out setting for watching 2.35:1 movies on a 2.35:1 screen.
This isn't to say there aren't good looking DLP projectors, but in the price ranges where LCD and LCOS projectors are offered, the latter two usually perform better overall.
If you still have questions, check out Projector tech explainer: All your front projection questions answered and DLP vs LCD vs LCoS: Projector tech pros and cons.
Projectors come in all range of prices, from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. The key is finding the sweet spot for price and picture quality. Stepping up from $1,000 to nearly $3,000 gets you a big jump in picture quality. Stepping from $3,000 to $30,000, not so much.
The lowest-priced projectors often offer decent brightness but don't have a good contrast ratio. In other words, the image will be big and bright but will look washed out. Stepping up in price to around $3,000 gets you both brightness and contrast ratio, which is why our pick was in this range. Our picks at $1,000 and $500 look good for what they cost, but not as good as this Sony.
All projectors need a screen of some sort. Shining them on a wall isn't ideal, and won't result in the projector looking its best (not as bright as it could be, odd colors, weird textures). Screens don't have to be expensive, either. For more info on that, check out our guide "The Best Projector Screen (for most people)."
We do our best to stay on top of prices.
If something's changed, let us know.

i will be visiting Interlaken, Lucern and Zurich for two days each. Is it worthwhile to do a cruise in each city? Which cruise is recommended for interlaken - on Lake Thun or Brienz? Is there a cruise which will take me to Bern (where I could do some sightseeing for 3-4 hours) and then get back to Interlaken?
I understand that on Swiss Travel Pass these cruises are free and on Half Fare Pass these are at 50%. Can someone help me with the regular price for these cruises? And also the timings for them. Thanks,
Hi meghaswiss,
All details plus links to timetables and fares can be found on our boat trip pages: www.myswissalps.com/ac tivities/scenictrips/b oat.
There is no boat all the way from Interlaken to Bern. You can take the boat to Thun, then the train to Bern.
Hi Meghaswiss-
<<"Interlaken, Lucern and Zurich for two days each. Is it worthwhile to do a cruise in each city?">>
Of the cruises that you mention, I personally prefer Lake Lucerne for its size and variety of scenery.

I really want let Dr. Gillespie know how appreciative of all he has done. I had multiple surgeries on my abdomen and had many hernia repairs. Unfortunately I had a recurrence of my hernia. I was referred to another surgeon who thankfully referred me to Dr. Gillespie. First he performed a colonoscopy because it was over 10 years since I had my last one. He found a big precancerous polyp. He fixed my hernia by doing a muscle separation technique with mesh. I do sit-ups now! - JUST THANK YOU

Good old fashion medicine.
Dr. Gillespie is relatively young but he reminds me of a good old fashion doctor. The kind of doctor I use to watch growing up. I feel and believe he would fight any battle for me. He is tough as nails but at the same time you can feel his love. As you can see I care as much for him as he cares for me.

He saved my life
Dr. Gillespie has been taking care of me for about a year. A nameless surgeon really messed me up. I ended up having a fistula. Dr. Gillespie took a very methodical approach. I am now closed up and have no hernia. He saved my life.

If you are looking for a compassionate surgeon he is the one.
Dr. Gillespie is a very good surgeon. Though he is very busy he takes time out to listen to you. His office staff is very helpful. When I had to call I felt they knew exactly what I needed. They were able to get my surgery done very quickly.

DEFINITION of 'Yearly Probability Of Dying'
A numerical figure that depicts the likelihood of someone dying per year. The yearly probability of dying is determined by looking at a mortality table which shows the rate of death at each age in terms of the number of deaths per thousand. The data in the chart is determined by dividing the number of people dying during a given year by the number of people alive at the beginning of that same year.

BREAKING DOWN 'Yearly Probability Of Dying'

Flight is an advertising term. It refers to the time period an advertisement drive on radio or television will run.
Commercials are scheduled to run during the commercial breaks on television. The timing pattern is called flight. The timing pattern includes the intervals where the commercials are shown separated by intervals when there is no display of the prospective ad. This timing pattern is called flight.
Use of Flight:
• Display the ads on important times when they are likely to have the maximum impact on the target population
• Decreases the cost of displaying the ads on all times
• In case low budget, the advertiser may choose alternative means of communication like newspapers
Nowadays the term "flight" is also used in social media. It refers to the time period of a social media marketing campaign.

Clubs from all corners of the UK, Europe and beyond were represented, from Cumbria to Vectis Spurs on the Isle of Wight, to Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, USA and Oz Spurs from Australia.
Ledley answered a number of questions and having published Part One yesterday - here is Part Two...
What was your favourite moment in a Spurs shirt? From Sarah, Vectis Spurs
Ledley: "It has to be winning the League Cup in 2008 and being captain at Wembley, something you dream about. You watch cup competitions and see many great teams and players climb up the steps to collect the trophies. To be able to do that was my best moment. I remember the atmosphere was amazing, the fans were so loud and that certainly transmitted down to the players. We actually played well in the first half but ended up going 1-0 down to a great goal from Didier Drogba. Our heads could have dropped but we continued to play well in the second half and got our reward. It was a great day, not just one moment, but I particularly remember the spirit of the team to come back after going 1-0 down, to take the game into extra time and win it."
How did you manage to avoid getting yellow cards? From Toshihiro Odai, Spurs Japan
Ledley: "To be honest, some weren't even yellow cards! It was just the way I played, I tried not to go to ground, to always stay on my feet and I always felt I had the pace to recover even if I was beaten. I preferred to stay on my feet and if you do that, you tend to avoid yellows and reds. I tried to keep my composure. There were times when I was angry but tried to make sure that it didn't affect my game."
What would you like to see introduced into grass roots football? From Paul Dandy, Cumbria Spurs
Ledley: "That's a tough one. What has changed a lot from when I was a youngster is the so-called 'street football', kids just on the street playing football, playing in big groups and that's where youngsters always developed technique. That has been lost a little. There are so many other distractions now. In my opinion, it's all about kids getting out there, playing and having a love for the game."
25 November 2016
The Club is offering a new full-time sports programme in partnership with The Cavendish School, whose alumni include Harry Winks.
15 November 2016
Ledley King was there when both Danny Rose and Kyle Walker first walked through the door at Spurs. He could see something special in both players back then, and now takes great pride in describing the pair as 'two of the best full-backs around', highlighted by their performances in England's 3-0 win against Scotland on Friday.
5 September 2016
Danny Rose would love to follow in the footsteps of Ledley King – and spend the rest of his career at Spurs.

Then 20 mins later another waitress decided to come and take our order. Then to get our check was another 20 mins. I was ready to walk out but do not do things like that and know that it was not my waiters fault. The front end staff are as dumb as rocks and rude as fuck excuse my language. Do not care for anything from you just to let you know your service sucks and attitude of your staff is disgusting. The manager was also sitting on her ass doing nothing while I complained to staff she just ignored us. I will ensure to let everyone know how horrible your service is and ensure people choose another Brus room or other restaurant. Truly should invest in training your staff and hiring people that have people skills.ReplyDelete

Arbuscular mycorrhiza affects nickel translocation and expression of ABC transporter and metallothionein genes in Festuca arundinacea
Leila Shabani1 & Mohammad R. Sabzalian2 &
Sodabeh Mostafavi pour1
Received: 11 March 2015 /Accepted: 26 May 2015 # Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015
Abstract Mycorrhizal fungi are key microorganisms for enhancing phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals. In this study, the effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Funneliformis mosseae (=Glomus mosseae) on physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in the nickel (Ni) tolerance of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea=
Schedonorus arundinaceus) were investigated. Nickel addition had a pronounced negative effect on tall fescue growth and photosynthetic pigment contents, as well as on AMF colonization. Phosphorus content increased markedly in mycorrhizal plants (M) compared to non-inoculated (NM) ones.
However, no significant difference was observed in root carbohydrate content between AMF-inoculated and noninoculated plants. For both M and NM plants, Ni concentrations in shoots and roots increased according to the addition of the metal into soil, but inoculation with F. mosseae led to significantly lower Ni translocation from roots to the aboveground parts compared to non-inoculated plants. ABC transporter and metallothionein transcripts accumulated to considerably higher levels in tall fescue plants colonized by
F. mosseae than in the corresponding non-mycorrhizal plants.
These results highlight the importance of mycorrhizal colonization in alleviating Ni-induced stress by reducing Ni transport from roots to shoots of tall fescue plants.

It is well known that transport, chelation, and sequestration processes in living organisms function in regulating concentrations of essential metal ions in different cellular compartments andminimizing the damage caused by heavymetal ions entering the cytosol (O'Halloran and Culotta 2000; Clemens 2001). Important components of heavy metal homeostasis and detoxification systems are membrane-localized heavy metal transporters (Williams et al. 2000) and chelation processes (Cobbett 2000). Membrane transport systems are likely to play a central role in the regulation of metal concentrations within different cells and organelles. The ATP binding cassette (ABC) protein superfamily is the largest membrane protein family, well known in plants. Members of this superfamily catalyze the Mg ATP-energized transport of a broad range of substrates across biological membranes. ABC transporters mediate diverse cellular transport processes such as excretion of potentially toxic compounds and conferring of heavy metal tolerance (Martinoia et al. 2002). Once metal ions enter the cell, they are bound by chelators. Metallothioneins (MTs) are the best characterized heavy metal-binding ligands in plant cells. They belong to the superfamily of thiol-containing metal-binding proteins which modulate internal levels of metal concentrations between deficient and toxic concentrations by binding to the toxic metals through closely spaced cysteinthiol groups (Cobbett 2000).
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are an important component of the rhizosphere and have beenwell documented to enhance phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated * Leila Shabani firstname.lastname@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com 1 Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Shahrekord University,

Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan 84156-83111,
DOI 10.1007/s00572-015-0647-2 soils (Gonzalez-Chavez 2000; Davies et al. 2001).
Environmental stress conditions, such as accumulation of heavy metals, typically impose severe difficulties for plant survival and growth. The AMF symbiosis can alleviate abiotic stresses through improvement of plant growth as a result of enhanced nutrient and water uptake (Davies et al. 2002;
Carpio et al. 2005) and by stimulating or modifying specific physiological mechanisms related to the adaptation to stressful environments (Porcel et al. 2003; Auge et al. 2004).
AMF can influence certain plant physiological mechanisms, such as metal avoidance or tolerance to increase plant phytoremediation capability (Perotto and Martino 2001).
There is evidence showing that plant-encoded metal transporters and chelators are expressed in mycorrhizal plants when grown under conditions of heavy metal contamination (Rivera-Becerril et al. 2005; Gohre and Paszkowski 2006;
Hildebrandt et al. 2007). On the other hand, it has been shown that nickel (Ni) can form chelated compounds, which may replace other heavy metals from physiologically important centers in plant metabolism (Cammack et al. 1988; Kramer et al. 1996). The aim of the present study was to investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in Ni tolerance of mycorrhizal tall fescue plants inoculated with
Funneliformis mosseae. Ni translocation and the expression levels of MT and ABC genes in response to four concentrations of Ni were investigated.
Material and methods
Seeds of Festuca arundinacea (recently renamed
Schedonorus arundinaceus) were harvested from plants originally collected from Kordestan Province (Iran) and maintained in the research field of Isfahan University of
Technology (Isfahan, Iran). Fescue seeds were pregerminated on moist filter paper for about 1 week until the radicles appeared. Potting soil was taken from the bed of
Zayandeh-rood River near Chelvan (45 km to Shahrekord,
Chahar Mahal-Bakhtiari Province). The soil had a loam-sand texture and the following general chemical properties: pH 8.08, ECe 0.37 dS m−1, CEC 9.7 cmol(+)kg−1, total N 0.071 %, organic C 0.28 %, and available P, K, and Ni 5.2, 162, and 13 mg kg−1, respectively. Before the experiment, the soil was air-dried, sieved through a 2-mm sieve, and then sterilized by autoclaving for 2 h at 121 °C. Nickel (as NiCl2) was added to the soil at concentrations of 0, 30, 90, and 180 mg kg−1 (Ni 0, Ni 30, Ni 90, and Ni 180).

Night diving in Grenada is a total adrenaline rush and a must do for any adventurous diver looking for a new thrill, you get to see the deep depths of the ocean from a totally different perspective.
Louisa, Original Diver
Known as the 'Isle of Spice', due to its large production of nutmeg, Grenada occupies 133 square miles of coveted land and consists of three islands: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique. This luscious island country is considered the shipwreck capital of the Caribbean with a grand total of 15 wrecks to explore, so it's no wonder then that Grenada is one of our favourite dive spots in the Caribbean.
Why we think you'll love it
- The island is home to the world's first underwater dive sculpture park and artificial reef, built in 2006, which was the brain child of artist and diver Jason deCaires Taylor after a hurricane wiped out much of the coral reef
- The water averages 26°C/79°F in winter and 28°C/83°F in summer making for lovely all year round diving conditions
- Eels, nurse and reef sharks, sting rays, turtles, great barracuda's, frogfish and nudibranchs are just some of the marine life waiting to be logged
From the gallery
Our Guide to Diving in Grenada
The best diving is primarily along the west and south coast, where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean and, as such, the variety of diving available covers a range suitable for everyone. The Bubblemakers can take their first plunge in warm waters, the inexperienced can explore the colourful coral gardens and shallow reefs and the experienced can enjoy adrenaline fuelled drift dives and deep wreck explorations. Speaking of which, the Bianca C resides here and, due to her size, is considered to be the Caribbean's titanic so we fully expect all you advanced divers to float to the bow and flay your arms back in true DiCaprio-Winslet style.
Above the waves, the soft-sand and near empty beaches are reason alone to visit. The island is also famous for its spices (all hail the nutmeg) and annual carnival. In 1783 nutmeg replaced sugar as the main crop after the British took the island from the French and today the island supplies approximately 20% of the world's market. As for the carnival, this lavish annual affair occupies ten days of the year in August and sees a medley of colour, music and ancient traditions paraded through the streets creating a party not to be missed. All in all Grenada is the perfect Caribbean destination for beach bums and aqua adventurers alike.
