Punjab News ExpressThiruvananthapuram: Thanks to the July 11 apex court order allowing bars along national and state highways passing through cities, another 250 bars in Kerala are set to open soon, said an official on Friday.The state Excise Department had already issued an order in this regard a few days back, which was made public on Friday.When the Pinarayi Vijayan government assumed office in May 2016, there were just 23 bars that functioned, that too only in five-star hotels, as the previous Oommen Chandy government through its new liquor policy in 2015 had shut down over 700 bars that operated in two, three and four-star hotels.Chandy envisaged a liquor policy through which prohibition would have come in force in Kerala by 2023.The CPI-M-led Left Democratic Front had promised ahead of the 2016 assembly election that their policy would be framed around the idea of abstinence and not prohibition.Keeping their word, a year after they assumed power, in July this year they announced a new liquor policy and as a result, on July 2 this year 77 new bars opened.And on Friday came the new government order, with only 10 days to go for the harvest festival -- Onam, according to which the 250 new bars have got the sanction to open. During the Onam season, the liquor consumption in the state peaks.

MWFN is a premier Carrier Neutral provider of high-capacity transport services for carriers as well as large and medium-sized businesses. MWFN can offer carriers and enterprise customers an innovative way to get the specific optical networking solutions needed to achieve their objectives by designing, building, and managing a cost-effective private network for each network solution requirement.
A Optical Network Built with Your Need for Speed in Mind
Midwest Fiber Networks can design, build, and maintain a Private Optical Network that meets the needs and goals of your growing business.
Today's (end-user) often find themselves needing a network designed and built to support their specific networking requirements.

MWFN and its partners provide years' of expertise to help achieve and develop these private optical networks customized to your individual business needs or the needs or a larger group with multiple users.
Step 1
Concept Phase:
MWFN works with its customers' business to gain a full understanding of the individual networking requirements and develops the network architecture solution that works for the needs of the organization or group. This includes determining which customer locations will be included in the optical network, establishing the physical routes the network will take, determining the optical layer design, and specifying the equipment configuration. Once this is complete, MWFN will deliver a comprehensive plan with fiber route maps, time lines, and cost estimates.
Step 2
Design & Approval Phase:
MWFN as this stage will work to secure the legal right of ways and facility use agreements as required to implement the design, which could include negotiating rights of way, leasing space, and providing colo space for customer hardware.
Step 3
Build Phase:
MWFN assembles a project team to coordinate the efforts of the various partners involved in the build phase and to ensure that the project meets its targeted date for customer turnover.
Step 4
Maintenance Phase:
MWFN offers a full suite of managed services to keep this new optical network running once it is built an operational. This includes 24X7X365 network monitoring services to ensure that it performs at its fullest level and in the event of an emergency that these services are restored in a much shorter time interval to lessen the impact to the impacted customer

IDP Corner: Week 6
The middle of the season has struck. We have a decent idea of the landscape of fantasy, We've found patterns in defenses and offenses alike, and now we are starting to see some teams adjust and others stay the path of what they started the season off doing. It's at this time of the season when we too as managers start to be comfortable with the players we've chosen from drafts and early season standout performances. We also get distracted the other things that fall brings, apple picking, tackling the "to do" list that you put off all summer, cleaning of lawns, winterizing our summertime toys (boats, bikes, etc), and winterizing our homes (especially if you are in the northern parts of the United States).
Which is why we, here at the gurus, soldier on so you have a chance at doing all these things while we provide insight and research. One last piece of advice for you before we dive into my thoughts, for the companies that provide them, the filter options of "last 4 weeks (total)" and "last 4 weeks (avg)", these will become your most powerful tools to get an understanding and comprehension of both your players as well as those that are available.
On to this week:
Christian Kirksey – With how often I list Cleveland players you'd think I love'd the team. I don't, but teams that don't consistently play well on offense end up playing a lot of defense. Career-wise, Kirksey has actually done worse year over year, this year however he's done relatively well. Kirksey should be available in most small to medium sized leagues and even some larger leagues. His best week this season was last week against New England who tends to focus on running and short passing gains for most of the game, his opponent this week, Tennessee, will be running often this week too, and Delanie Walker is their primary receiver, which should mean plenty middle yardage attempts there. Most importantly Kirksey now has the most total tackles for the Browns.
Lorenzo Alexander – Now averaging over a sack a week, he put up 3 this last week against the Rams, Alexander has been baseline consistent this season with last week being a nice peak, one who picks him up should expect a similar thing, weeks of a decent floor to his scoring, and some surprise scoring every-so-often. Not to over use a phrase but… a decent guy to pick up for a "bye week plug" to make it through multiple weeks of your high level LBs being out.
Vic Beasley Jr. – A rookie last year, Beasley stepped up last week with Deion Jones out. We might see a similar sack total again this week due to Seattle's "O'le" offensive line. Jones is playing this week so this may be the riskiest play, but also potentially have the biggest payoff of the players I talk about this week.
Willie Young – He grabbed a handful of sacks last week, and might be able to grab a couple more this week against Jacksonville. Young's value is very sack dependent, which keeps his floor very low.
Defensive Backs:
Rodney McLoud – He's produced a little more over the past 2 weeks, 9 total tackles last week, an interception and 2 passes defended two weeks ago. He's out-pacing his career averages at all three of those stats. Similar to Lorenzo Alexander, I would suggest McLoud as a bye week plugger, over multiple weeks, rather than a replacement for one of your normal starters.
Tony Lippett – Only playing 9 very meh games last season, and two pretty decent games this season, Lippett's sample size is hard to quantify. Lippett is on my radar, but I'm not grabbing him to play for now, but I am intently watching him. If he develops, he'll still have to battle with Reshard Jones and Xavien Howard for stats, that said Lippett has passed Howard on the depth chart so it might be time for you to make the same change, if you own Howard.
Bashaud Breeland – Should be known to you by now, he started off the season doing well, but went down for a couple weeks, it sounds like he will be back this week, go and grab him if someone dropped him in your leagues.
Logan Ryan – Last week's tackle total was more of an exception than it is the norm for Ryan. Grab him if someone dropped him from last week. His passes defended totals are a little low for his talent this year, I think this will change over the rest of the season.
Kemal Ishmael – Statistically Ishmael's season and career has been all over the place. He will have plenty of pass heavy opponents through the rest of the season, he may get picked up for a strong week last week, but you might want to grab him as Atlanta's opponents will be passing a good deal to keep pace with their offense.
Damon Harrison – Linemen typically come in two types, those who get sacks, and those who get tackles. Seldom do those types cross (see J.J. Watt for the types of players who are the exception), Harrison is from the tackle family of linemen. The good news is that the Giants will see a good pile of run focused teams. Harrison has only had one super stellar game this season, the rest so far have been ok at best, but he is worth streaming when a run heavy team is his opponent, Baltimore is on the cusp of that, as injuries are starting to slow down their receivers.
Good luck to everyone with the coming games this weekend, and as always if you have questions feel free to reach via twitter to myself @decoylife or the other gurus @TFFGurus, @DaFantasyFather, and @TheFantasyBoys

Fleas and The 3 Most Common Treatments
Your adorable, loving puppy is bound to have fleas at some point her life. Dogs get into all kinds of dirt and mischief, and sometimes they pick up fleas. This can be annoying and painful for your pup. In fact, an average female flea consumes about 15 times her body weight in blood every day. This doesn?t bode well for anybody. Humans can also get fleas, and they spread like wildfire. If your pet gets fleas, you should bring her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. You likely won?t have to go to an animal hospital unless your dog gets sick, which could indicate the fleas are carrying a disease.
If your dog does catch a disease from fleas or ticks, get to an animal hospital immediately once symptoms appear. C
Why Vet Vists Are So Important For Animals
pets are part of the family for many people. Although taking care of them is not always cheap or simple, many individuals and families feel that their pet is almost like a human, and only want to offer the best care they can provide or afford. Some individuals worry about major problems down the line, such as diagnosis of cancer in animals, and wonder how they can prevent this from happening. Even with the economic downturn, surveys have shown that over 90% of families still spend as much money as they did before on their pets, and sometimes even more. Here is what can be done to avoid major problems that can lead to a veterinary emergency.
Take Pets in, At Least Twice a Year
In order to avoid going to the emergency vet, which can cost a lot of money, individuals shou
How to Get The Best Pet Insurance
Pets have never been more popular in the United States. Families across the country are more likely to own pets now than ever before, according to a number of statistics. One of those statistics involves the fact that there are currently about 76.43 million cats, the United States has more cats than any other country. As of today, statistics have proven that the United States spends about $20.46 billion on pet food every single year. Also, the United States spends about $12.56 billion dollars on pet supplies and what people consider, over the counter medicine, every single year. Because of the popularity of pets, more people are buying pet insurance for the pets that they own. This pet insurance is meant to help in case the pet has any illnesses, or injuries while in possession of their owners. The Pet Insur

Serve with Passion.
Joining God's mission to extend love, forgiveness, and compassion to the world
As Followers of Christ, we are the physical presence of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit to be broken and poured out for the needs of the world. We have the greatest impact when we are giving God the best of the time, resources, and abilities he has given us.

Advent Conspiracy
The past few years, Journey has celebrated the Advent season in a different way. Advent Conspiracy has helped us to concentrate on fulfilling Christ's mission instead of a commercialized Christmas season.
In 2008 we bought one less gift, raising $35,000 to dig 4 water wells in Sudan.
2009?s "Afghanistan Challenge" challenged us to eat rice and beans for 2 meals a week and raised $30,000 for micro-finance loans to women in Afghanistan to start their own businesses.
2010 found us bringing the serving closer to home with "The Hope Project". We were encouraged to be creative to come up with ways to save money during the Christmas season to raise $73,000 to refurbish a house (in partnership with Interfaith Housing Services) for a low-income 1st time home-buyer. The Hope Project house is complete and a single mother and her children have a home to call their own!
2011?s Advent Conspiracy reached across the hemisphere to Bolivia. The congregation was again encouraged to be creative in spending less to give more to support "Ninos de Samuelito" (Children of Samuelito). We surpassed our goal and raised $56,618 to support more than 80 children for a year at Samuelito Daycare in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The surplus went to help send our teams to Bolivia this spring and summer and to several local charities.
In 2012, we worked with 3 other churches (Crossroads Christian, The Father's House and Salt City Family Church) on The NOEL Project to renovate a building to house New Beginnings Overflow Emergency Lodging.

"The – Great Fourah Bay College, Citadel of Learning, Athens of West Africa and Centre of Academic Excellence, Beacon of Light of Education in Africa, Pride of Sierra Leone , etc, …"– this was how FBC was referred to in the greater part of the 20th Century.
Yes, we were so proud of "our" FBC that the mere mention of its name and "us" being students were enough to instill fear in others and make them bow.
Unfortunately, the current FBC is totally different and the tears flowing from its eyes are asking just a single question- why? This is because FBC has not been given the attention it deserves in recent times and of the 3 constituent colleges of the University of Sierra Leone, FBC (including its environs) is on a life support machine, and it has been in such a state for almost 6 years now. The entire infrastructure is completely decrepit – you name them – the buildings are completely dilapidated with no renovations for a long time now; the library is a mini pool during the raining season; the tiles in the EJ Hall (newly constructed few years ago) and Chemistry building (another floor has been recently added to the original building) have resurrected; the physics theatre and the engineering department are in a state of paralysis.
To compound these ugly scenes, FBC is the only college in the world where a college is not a college, for there have been no accommodation facilities for students over the past 5 years. The "Great" Blocks of A, C, G, E, M, H and J and the beautiful Lati Hyde and Beethoven have completely deteriorated. Scrambling for chairs and tables amongst students; and clamoring for lecture halls amongst lecturers have now become a norm at FBC – one reason being the increase in the student population over time has not equaled the available infrastructure which have almost remained constant.
This mismatch has created tension between students and lecturers on one hand; and friction between lecturers and the Administration on the other.
Summing these problems is the deplorable state of the road from Lower Faculty, on campus as far as The Great Kennedy Building; and going towards Kortrght as far as that deep curve (immediately after the Principal's residence at Kortright to where Prof Joe AD Alie is now staying).
Talk to the students, lecturers and the Administration on why this sad state of affairs and you will hear a compendium of excuses/reasons.
Without prejudice to any of these players/stakeholders, a summary has been provided below – lack of vision of the Administration, neglect by the government as current and past budgets over the years have not captured any rehabilitation component for FBC, no established research fund to spur Research and Innovation, inadequate "lecturing and understanding" materials, investment by the Administration not in tandem with the priorities of the college, (in)competent lecturers, ASA not getting the required support from colleague lecturers, lack of coordination between the Administration and the government, lack of trust between the lecturers and the Administration, lazy and dishonest students who want to have good degrees without deserving them and have made exams malpractices their specialties; etc, etc.
What has however seriously exacerbated the situation at FBC is this over reliance on BADEA to give a facelift to the entire college. In simple terms, BADEA is supposed to be the principal financier to transform the entire FBC (from hostels to lecture halls) but the project is yet to commence.
Five years now down the road, nothing is happening in terms of rehabilitation and the paradigm around campus for a very long time now is "we are waiting on BADEA". This BADEA project is a classic example of how donor dependency has hindered the implementation of projects in most Developing Countries and by extension making a whole generation to suffer. So many students have started their studies at FBC without any hostel facility and have eventually graduated without any.
For those students coming from the rural areas, you can now imagine the difficulties they are going through. It's really a shame that too much emphasis has been placed on BADEA when the government has the resources to transform FBC – after all, education is one of the pillars of the Post Ebola Recovery Strategy. The writer strongly believes that FBC's rehabilitation can be undertaken without BADEA.
Exploring PPP is one route; the role of the Alumni Associations all over the world could be another; donations from philanthropists in the country and individuals are surest routes (for example, Hedge Fund Mogul Paulson donated US $ 400 M to Harvard University in America few months ago and this is why such universities are flourishing – so there are people here who can also do similar thing). This is because if these same people and MDAs made significant donations to His Excellency, the President at State House during the Ebola crisis, then they can also do the same for FBC.
What is more, even the lecturers are willing to contribute Le 200,000 of their salaries every month towards the rehabilitation of one of the buildings (preferable Arts Building) but should be given the authority to control the management of the funds and the eventual awarding of the contract. This should tell the reader the extent to which FBC has deteriorated and the displeasure of most lecturers to see how best the situation could be salvaged.
The government can demonstrate its commitment towards FBC rehabilitation by first reconstructing the deplorable road through and on campus. This track is not even a mile long and as a Development Economist and Project Planner, US $ 300,000 can do the trick – I bet my last dollar.
To justify this, FBC has now become a thoroughfare as government and private vehicles are plying this route towards Gloucester, Leicester, Hill Station, Southridge, Regent and even Lumley. Hence, the once peaceful and tranquil FBC especially on a Sunday has been lost. The deplorable condition of the road with so many potholes has further dented the image of this once "adored" college.
His Excellency, the President is the "Champion of Infrastructural Development" in the country and so, FBC should not be left out in this drive. An Executive Directive to the Deputy Minister of Works is all that is required for the Sierra Leone Roads Authority
(SLRA) through the Roads Maintenance Fund to turn FBC into a works yard. When that happens, FBC will start the next academic year with a bang. So if BADEA cannot start now, let the road reconstruction at least commence now.
As for the encroachment on FBC land, that is going to be an interesting piece soon
To summarize the discussion, the current priorities/demands of FBC are as follows –
1) Let the government rehabilitate the college road immediately after the bridge through Lower Faculty, on campus and as far as Kennedy Building; and through campus as far as Professor Alie's residence.
2) Let adequate "lecturing and understanding" materials and equipment be procured/provided before the commencement of the 2015/16 AY.
3) Let other avenues be explored for the transformation of FBC and government can take the lead in this by allocating 0.6% of the country's GDP. We should not wait for BADEA any longer.
Until these happen, pray that the Obituary of FBC is not announced because the tears flowing from its face resembles a (wo)man lying on h(er)/is death bed and saying h(er)/is last wishes with tears rolling down.

The house was old enough to be settled when we bought it, so we suspect mini-tremors could also be cracking it aside. Within the meantime we preserve our fingers crossed for an earthquake massive sufficient to register to happen so we can show it's causing the cracking.

Every January 1st, without fail, at least one friend of mine will post a lyric from Death Cab for Cutie's "The New Year." This year it was Josiah from Why They Came. Some say there isn't anything special about the midnight hour on December 31st, that it's just another day. But most people find it helpful, even healthy, to mark the passing of time with an occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or New Year.
It's true, you can make a resolution anytime. Need to lose weight? Start tomorrow, if not today (even if it's July). Don't start a diet; change your lifestyle. You can't cheat lasting results. Bad habits must be dropped for good, but you don't have to beat yourself up when you slip up now and then. The same is true for nearly any lasting change you want to make. This includes career goals, increase and/or improved quality time with your family, or better use of your time to allow for more creative outlets. Any of these require intentional, permanent changes. If you think you just can't get around to it right now, then you should probably question how important it really is to you. Continue reading Make New Year Resolutions Anytime

I first came across this miniature dragonfly in July 2011, and I have been very surprised by its size. Because I had in mind the image of Libellula depressa, a common large European species which also show a broad and flattened bluish abdomen.
The male has an iridescent blue frons, a light blue abdomen and wings decorated with conspicious inky blotching.
The female also bear spotted wings but less proeminent. Its abdomen is yellow with two lateral black stripes.
Palpopleura sexmaculata is widespread in Asia (from south China to India). In Thailand, it is considered as an "uncommon species found in few places in uplands and montane areas" (source : Noppadon Makbun, in his blog http:duenneud.blogspot.com).
I have no information concerning its status in Vietnam, except is has been recorded in many localities of the North-West and also in the highlands of Tây Nguyên (Centre) (Checklist of dragonfly from Vietnam/Dô Manh Cuong & Dang Thi Thanh Hoa, 2007).
It is a quite common sight in my area, but easy to overlook. I spotted it mostly in hilly areas, along marsh edges of ponds, inundated grassy banks of streams.

A veg( or five) too far: why 10 portions a day is way too much to ask | Kathleen Kerridge
In an ideal world, doubling our fruit and vegetable uptake is a good idea. But in austerity Britain, it would be impossible to afford all that, let alone cook it
Government guidelines have, for some years, held that eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day is what we should all be aiming for. Thats an achievable target for many, if not most, of us. Some days it might be felt in the handbag, to make sure theres broccoli on a plate, but generally its possible to feed five different fruits and vegetables a day even on a strict budget.
Ten, though? When I first read that the guidelines could change, and we should be aiming for 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, I nodded and thought: Huh, attains sense. But as I thought about it, while raiding my freezer for a suitcase of frozen carrots, I realised it was going to be another thing like buying free scope organic, or only buying ethically sound attire that will only serve to make the poor feel guilty, again less than good enough.
Most days their own families consumes five a day with ease. The veg is in my budget, and theres always a bag of bananas or satsumas around. I buy frozen veggies and fresh fruit, and they get vacuumed up by the family as fast as I can serve them. To serve and supply doubled this, though? When vegetables are sold in 900 g pouches for the most proportion, and each member of the family should be having 10 sections a day at 80 g a portion they cant be the same fruit or vegetable then for families already struggling, this extra recommendation seems impossible.
Already millions are feeling the pinch of extended austerity. Receiving a fiver for the electric meter, or attaining sure theres food on the table at all, is a common battle across the country. Its not unusual for thousands of children to go to school hungry, having not eaten breakfast because the cupboards were bare at home.
Food banks are having a hard time keeping up with the families who, after paying their rent, have no money left for groceries. People who have no real cook facilities, often relying on a worktop oven or a microwave to find them through, will have good reason to roll their eyes and dismis this advice. For some, its not even worth aiming for. Its impossible to afford it, let alone cook it.

Vertebral artery dissection presenting with ispilateral acute C5 and C6 sensorimotor radiculopathy: A case report

Spinal manifestations of vertebral artery dissection (VAD) are rare events and are typically symptomatic with neck pain and ischemic brain injury. We report a patient presenting with unusual peripheral paresis of the right upper limb due to an intramural hematoma of the right vertebral artery with local compression of C5 and C6 as the cause of cervical radiculopathy. These symptoms completely resolved after anticoagulation and physical therapy.

Case presentation
A 51-year-old women presented with a two-weeks history of progressive pain and weakness of her right arm. Ten days earlier an orthopaedic specialist had performed a chiropractic maneuver to resolve the pain radiating from the neck to the right upper arm without alleviation of the symptoms. Four days later, the patient had noticed a weakness of elevation and flexion of her right upper arm. A cervical spine MRI scan displayed mild protrusion of the disc between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae resulting in a mild compression of the right C6 root and a surgical intervention due to progressive and substantial weakness was considered.
After eight weeks of anticoagulation and physical therapy, the weakness of the upper arm markedly improved with an improvement in muscle strength of the deltoid (4/5) and the biceps brachii (5/5) without any sensory deficits. The follow-up cervical MRI scans showed a regularly revascularized right vertebral artery. Four months later, muscle strength of the deltoid completely recovered.
Spinal manifestations of vertebral artery dissection (VAD) are a rare event.[1] Typical manifestations of VAD include brain ischemia combined with neck pain.[2] In previous reports of patients with spinal manifestations of VAD the prominent sign was spinal ischemic cervical myelopathy.[2–4] Recently a rare manifestation of VAD with left shoulder weakness and numbness of the left upper limb was reported that was successfully treated by proximal occlusion of the dissected vertebral artery using detachable balloon and Guglielmi detachable coils.[5] Proximal vertebral artery occlusion using an intravascular technique was regarded as a non-invasive and effective option for patients with a cervical radiculopathy due to cervical vertebral artery dissection. Here we report local compression due to expansion of the dissecting aneurysm as a mechanism for sensorimotor radiculopathy with a favorable outcome after anticoagulation and physical therapy. Therefore VAD may be considered as a cause of otherwise unexplained cervical radiculopathic symptoms.
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.

As a professional footballer, you might imagine that Cyrille Regis would have wanted to be best remembered as a prolific and whole-hearted centre-forward, who scored some truly memorable goals. West Bromwich Albion fans of this or future generations would be fortunate indeed if they were to witness any striker come close to the standards that Cyrille set at The Hawthorns, as would followers of Coventry City, Aston Villa or Wolves.
Outside of the Midlands, you might imagine that Cyrille would have been most proud of his five full England caps and the fact that he was only the third black player – after Viv Anderson and his great friend Laurie Cunningham – to represent his country at the highest level.
Beyond his working-class roots in French Guiana, you might think that being awarded an MBE for his public contribution to English society would have been the ultimate accolade for this honest, generous man.
I suspect, though, that you would be wrong on all counts.
I would guess that Cyrille would want to be remembered as a fighter; an ordinary man who refused to bend to, or buckle under the strain of, that same society's prejudices, and achieve something remarkable that individuals like him were never expected to do.
Sport is supposed to be all about inclusivity and football perhaps our 'national' example of it. Sport can only become truly inclusive, though, when society's prejudices are comprehensively addressed. It's difficult today to imagine women not playing football isn't it? Similarly, a British Olympic team today without black athletes would, thankfully, be unthinkable.
Of course, it wasn't always like that. English football has its roots firmly placed in the public-school system of the eighteenth century. The original 'Rules of football' were subsequently assembled at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1846.
Even after the Football Association (FA) endorsed 'professionalism' from 1885, under 'certain restrictions', society's determination to treat women differently to men was all too apparent.
A group of working-class women joined the Dick, Kerr & Co armaments factory in Preston, Lancashire to help produce ammunition for the First World War effort. They were persuaded to take up sport to boost morale and formed a works football team which played (and usually beat) other workers – mostly men – in lunch and tea breaks. Becoming known as Dick, Kerr's Ladies F.C. they quickly became the most successful women's team of the period, playing a series of charity matches around the country to raise money for injured servicemen during and after the war.
However, women's football was frowned upon by The FA who eventually banned it in 1921 from being played on their members' grounds as it was viewed as "distasteful" and "ought not to be encouraged." The ban stood for 50 years and was only lifted in 1971.
Article Published: 30th January 2018
Later in that same decade — in 1977 — Cyrille made his debut for West Bromwich Albion, having fought his way out of non-league football and refusing to believe that a career as a professional footballer had already passed him by.
No Wikipedia entry or football reports from that period can really convey, though, what it was like to be black in Britain — especially when exposed to the masses of working-class men and women who could now play football in parks, playgrounds and housing estates, up and down the country; and could also vote.
The decade was marked by industrial strife, terrorist violence across mainland Britain and financial hardship for many. Discontent did not just show itself over one winter. These were hard times, accompanied by hard, unforgiving people, many of whom saw immigration only as a threat and not, as in the case of Cyrille's family, an opportunity. Tragically, some would never forgive Cyrille the original sin of being different to them.
Terraces were often over-crowded, and football fans were herded in and out of grounds like voiceless cattle. Violence – or the simmering threat of it – was commonplace. The creaking stands and cracked concrete of the terraces. often shrouded in a fog of cigarette smoke, were football's platforms in those days; no surprise that all of this gave rise to the terrible football tragedies of the following decade – including in Birmingham.
I remember the National Front groups outside of football grounds, selling racist hate by the pamphlet load, at this time. Mounted policemen would view black or Asian spectators suspiciously from on high, while jeers, monkey chants and bunches of bananas would greet Cyrille and those few who were brave enough at the time to carry on and do their best to entertain the majority, rather than yield to the ignorance of the minority.
A player we might already know will be the next Cyrille, or Laurie, or Viv. Players who admit that they are gay will face the wrath of crowds for being different. Have we really moved on from the treatment meted out to Justin Fashanu – including from one of the most revered football managers of all time? Hopefully, we won't be looking back almost forty years before this too becomes 'normalised', and homophobic division is as reviled as institutional sexism or racism now is.
So, for young footballers struggling to move up from football's lower reaches, whether they be black, female or gay, Cyrille's professional career should always be held up as an inspiration that while being good enough is no guarantee of success, if you are good enough within and strong enough without, then you have every chance of scoring life's highest goals, even if society itself has to run to try and catch you up.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Gov. Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency for all of California Friday, saying the state faced "terrible consequences" from the stubborn winter dry spell.
"We can't make it rain, but we can be much better prepared for the terrible consequences that California's drought now threatens, including dramatically less water for our farms and communities and increased fires in both urban and rural areas," Brown said in a written statement. "I have declared this emergency and I'm calling all Californians to conserve water in every way possible."
The spell of sunny, dry weather that developed in early December has persisted, and forecasters this week warned that there was a strong possibility that the southern half of the state could see absolutely no rain for all of January, which is generally the wettest month of the year in the region.
The San Francisco Chronicle said the vital Sierra Nevada snow pack was a startlingly 17 percent of normal this week, and water agencies were beginning to call for voluntary or mandatory reductions in water consumption.
Brown's declaration included a green light for the hiring of seasonal firefighters in anticipation of wildfires at a time of year when such fires are considered rare. It also directed state agencies to help farmers navigate potential reductions in irrigation water and streamline the process for transferring water among different water agencies.
Members of the California congressional delegation said they hoped to unite on federal legislation that would assist Brown's efforts.
Rep. Jim Costa, D-Calif., and the state's two Democratic senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, sent the Obama administration officials a letter on Thursday urging the establishment of a drought task force. Meanwhile, a House Republican was drafting water legislation and another California Republican -- the leader of the House water and power panel – planned to conduct hearings on the crisis, McClatchy Newspapers reported.
"We'll see whether or not we can come together on something that makes sense," Costa told McClatchy. "I don't care who gets the credit for this, so long as we get something done."

Louisiana voters easily re-elected Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter to a second six-year term Tuesday over Congressman Charlie Melancon and 10 minor candidates in a campaign in which disenchantment with the Democratic agenda trumped concerns about the incumbent's personal character.
The victory culminates a remarkable comeback for a politician whose career was on life support in 2007 after his phone number was found in the logs of a Washington, D.C. prostitution service.
Vitter, who apologized for committing a "serious sin" and said he had found forgiveness from his family and his God, executed a well-disciplined campaign, mostly steering clear of the media and communicating to voters through 30-second ads that tied Melancon to
President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Washington.
Thanks to the fallout from the D.C. Madam scandal, Vitter began the election cycle labeled the Senate's most vulnerable Republican incumbent. But the publicity did nothing to slow Vitter's fund-raising, as donors poured $12 million into his coffers, more than three times as much as Melancon's $3.7 million.
The money gave Vitter the resources to answer every attack by Melancon as he courted support from tea party groups that provided momentum for conservative candidates in Louisiana and across the country. He also won endorsements from various elected officials -- Democrats and Republicans -- law enforcement and even the Humane Society Legislative Fund, but he did not get public support from the state's top Republican: Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Jindal said he was allowing Louisiana voters to make up their own minds even as he traveled across the country making appearances and doing fund-raisers for U.S. Senate, House and gubernatorial candidates in other states.
The biggest boost to Vitter's re-election prospects may have come from Obama, who wasn't on the ballot but whose anemic popularity ratings in Louisiana, particularly among the white voters who constitute the GOP base, provided an efficient foil throughout the campaign.
In speeches and debates, Vitter stressed his opposition to the policies that have defined Obama's administration: the expansive new health-care law, the $787 billion economic stimulus package and the Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium. He also was highly critical of the bank bailouts authorized in the waning weeks of the George W. Bush administration, which Melancon supported and Vitter voted against.
"Vitter was very fortunate to be able to run against Obama and not have to worry about who the Democratic nominee was," said Baton Rouge pollster Bernie Pinsonat. "I'm not sure why Vitter even mentioned Melancon's name. He could have run the entire race and not even mentioned that Melancon was alive."
Melancon, a Blue Dog Democrat with a proven record of getting elected in Republican-leaning areas -- having won three terms in the conservative 3rd Congressional District -- campaigned as a "pro-life, pro-gun Louisiana Democrat" who was willing to cross party lines in the tradition of Sens. J. Bennett Johnston, John Breaux and Mary Landrieu.
But two years after Landrieu won re-election on the same day that Obama lost Louisiana by 19 points, Melancon was never able to convince enough voters that he was fundamentally different than the leaders of his party in Washington.
With his wife of 38 years, Peachy, a near-constant companion on the campaign trail, Melancon's strategy centered on drawing support from independent-minded women turned off by the prostitution scandal. The Democrats' strategy appeared to get a boost in June, when ABC News reported that a mid-level aide on Vitter's staff, Brent Furer, had a long criminal record including a violent altercation with an ex-girlfriend.
The twin scandals allowed Democrats to portray Vitter as anti-woman, a theme that Melancon tried to exploit in campaign commercials, speeches and debates, where he called Vitter a "pathological liar." One commercial, a two-minute ad that only ran briefly on cable, was filmed in the style of a true-crime TV documentary and included lurid details from the senator's alleged dealings with prostitutes. The commercial, which featured images of Vitter's children culled from a 2004 campaign ad, drew an angry response from Vitter, who called it an example of "Melancon family values."
Vitter, meanwhile, traveled the state meeting with small groups of supporters in controlled settings, refusing most media interview requests and giving no advance notice of his whereabouts. In 30-second ads, Vitter portrayed Melancon as beholden to plaintiffs attorneys and the Obama administration. One particularly controversial ad, which was denounced as racist by immigrant groups and Catholic Charities, featured Hispanic-looking actors crawling through a fence and being enthusiastically greeted by actors portraying Melancon supporters.
Anger over Vitter's private failings -- and what some saw as an election-year conversion to the cause of fiscal prudence after years of voting for Republican spending proposals on Capitol Hill -- helped persuade 10 minor candidates to sign up for the race. Most of them shared Vitter's conservative positions on issues from immigration to government spending, but said the incumbent was a poor messenger for those ideas.
Their protests fell on deaf ears, however, as none of the 10 were able to raise enough money to make themselves significant players.

It's been a busy few weeks in the house at Pig Row. Our dark corridors and rooms have been transformed by the addition of some exciting changes.
We can now see our hand before us at night. For the last few years we have lived with some dodgy surface wiring that has at times tried our patience, fused our appliances and one incident caused a fire when an electric heater overloaded. So, it with some sense of satisfaction that we are now up to building code and have a new fully rewired house with enough plugs to satisfy the most addicted gadget geek. We're not gadget geeks but a good plug nearby is better than a plug in the next room overloaded with extensions.
The extension life is over for us, and so after walls coming down, we had a couple of electricians in called Richard and Chris, who have cast new light and surprises on our little cottage.
They said they found something in the loft and that it was waiting for us just inside our new loft trap. Oooer*. Up Andrew went* and down came Andrew with Norman the gnome, named after the man whose panache for DIY lead to every bodge we've found so far, from chicken wire in the ceiling to beams that float in mid-air and to an over excited desire to turn every surface into a Swedish sauna with tongue and groove.
When our heating engineers turned up, all four of them - we can't name them all, purely because it felt like a hoard was banging our house to bits* - they revealed another secret when trying to hang a radiator off a wall we thought was sound. The plaster fell off the wall in sheets. It's now a feature stone wall because we didn't have time to get it plastered and frankly we liked it. Behind the plaster was a series of wooden posts driven into the wall, which we have since discovered was the original ceiling of the house. Again, more evidence that the house was shorter in the past.
We are no longer short of warmth, with our new boiler pumping our house with wonderful heat*.
The problem with heat is that too many of us take it for granted. Try living with out it, not for one day or one week but years and see how your bones creak. We take heating for granted in this country and making a commitment to solid fuel for three years taught us this. Unlike the last buggers who did our heating and made it one nightmare after another, these heating engineers where a delight. Pipes under the floor? Easy. They where shocked by the poor plumbing done in our house. We cried each time we saw they did the job right.
The plus side was all the copper and lead we pulled out went to the scrapyard, we got quite a bit of money for it and then the windscreen motor and linkage went on the car. You receive with one hand and get kicked up the arse by someone else. Thus is life. Thus is the shitty nature of money. We cried when the windscreen wipers failed as we where doing forty in the rain. Think screaming rather than crying.
It's not that the solid fuel heating system was bad, the experience of having it fitted was bad. In the end we learnt how to use the oven and it was wonderful, it kept us warm for three winters but a job that should have taken five days took a year. That memory sticks with us. It's a great oven, just a bad memory. We wanted to sue the company but couldn't afford to and then they went bust, setting themselves back up under a new director - it all leaves a bad taste in the mouth and we could never get over it. We were badly let down by the manufacturer who recommended them but who in the end, had to step in and save us, we're grateful for that but as the wonderful heating engineers we've had in this time said, 'When this kind of thing happens you end up not trusting anyone' and they're true. It's been a tense few weeks, we have worried ourselves sick, and have feared the worse. That is the legacy of our solid fuel engineers, something wonderful tainted by awful people who are only in it for the money, not the craft. They made us cry, they made us poor, they took Carol's redundancy and ran away with it, no one should forgive that, no one should do that to people. We won't let them make us cry anymore.
We have a renewed faith in craftsman, one step at a time we are starting to trust them again. We have light, we have heat and we have a car to fix. Two out of three is better than none out of three.
* every pun intended there.

"I just don't have time to go to the gym today."
I bet this sounds familiar to some. Getting up and going to the gym can be a pain, but the good news is that you don't have to go to the gym to squeeze in a little exercise!
Exercise doesn't have to mean going to the gym and hitting the treadmill. Taking your dog for a walk, playing basketball with your children, and even dancing in your living room are great (and fun) ways to build a healthy heart without feeling the pain of tedious workouts. Just a few minutes of regular, daily exercise can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease. Combine physical activity with other lifestyle measures, such as maintaining a healthy weight, and the payoff is even greater.
Find fun workouts. Working out doesn't have to be a strain or an inconvenience. Take your favorite activities and turn them into a quick workout. If you love shopping, hit the mall and walk around once or twice. Walking around just one level of the Mall of America will get you .57 miles of exercise! Looking for a longer walk? The Mayo Clinic has hung up signs around the MOA that will lead your through 5 and 10k routes. Do you like music? Turn it up and dance away in your living room!

Robert Carlyle is one of the main actors of Once Upon a Time, portraying the dual role of Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin.
Early life
Carlyle was born in Maryhill, Glasgow, the son of Elizabeth, a bus company employee, and Joseph Carlyle, a painter and decorator. He was brought up by his father after his mother left when Carlyle was four years old. He left school at 16 without qualifications and went to work for his father as a painter and decorator; however, he continued his education by attending night classes at Cardonald College in Glasgow.
Carlyle became involved in drama at the Glasgow Art Centre at the age of 21 (having been inspired by reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible), and subsequently graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. In 1991, he and four friends founded a theater company, Raindog (which is now primarily involved in television and film work), and guest-starred in The Bill. The same year, he starred in his first movie, Riff-Raff, directed by Ken Loach.
In 1994, he played the gay lover of Father Greg in the film Priest. Carlyle's first high-profile role came as murderer Albie Kinsella in an October 1994 episode of Cracker, opposite Robbie Coltrane (in which the character killed no fewer than five people, including the character DCI David Bilborough, played by Christopher Eccleston). This highly acclaimed role showcased Carlyle's pure intensity. Shortly after his appearance in Cracker, he landed the role of Highland policeman Hamish Macbeth in the BBC comedy-drama Hamish Macbeth. The series ran for three seasons, from 1995 to 1997.
In 1996 and 1997, he appeared in the two most high-profile roles of his career to date: that of the psychopathic Francis Begbie in Trainspotting, and Gaz, the leader of a group of amateur male strippers, in The Full Monty, the latter earning Carlyle a "BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role". He also starred with Ray Winstone in the 1997 film Face. Carlyle played the senior Malachy McCourt (father of author Frank McCourt) in the 1999 film adaptation of McCourt's first memoir, Angela's Ashes, the arch-villain Renard in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and a cannibalistic soldier in the 1999 Ravenous.
Carlyle appeared in the 2002 Oasis music video for "Little by Little". He played Adolf Hitler in the 2003 miniseries Hitler: The Rise of Evil. In 2006, he played the villain Durza in Eragon. Then, in 2007, Carlyle played one of the main characters in the film 28 Weeks Later. He also played the lead role as a marine engineer, attempting to save London from total devastation, in the disaster film Flood. That year, he also portrayed the role of Father Joseph Macavoy in the film The Tournament.
In 2008, Carlyle narrated a BBC audiobook version of The Cutting Room. That same year, he was cast as Dr. Nicholas Rush in the television series Stargate Universe. His involvement has been described thusly, "As [the team fights] to survive, Dr. Rush (Carlyle) works to unlock the mysteries of the ship and return the group home, but evidence of his ulterior motives soon arises." Carlyle was touted by the studio as the "leading role" in the project. In December 2008, Carlyle appeared in 24: Redemption, a television movie of the popular series 24, starring alongside Kiefer Sutherland.
In 2009, Carlyle appeared in a long-form commercial for Johnnie Walker whisky, titled "The Man Who Walked Around The World", that showed Carlyle walking down a path and talking for six minutes in a single long take. The ad took two days to film. The director, Jamie Rafn, afterwards referred to Carlyle as an "utter genius". He voices the character of Gabriel Belmont, and his counterpart, the immortal Dracula, in the video game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, released in 2010.
Beginning in October 2011 Carlyle portrayed the dual role of Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold in the ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time, shot in Vancouver, Canada.
Acting style
Known for his commitment to authenticity in roles, Carlyle has often altered his lifestyle and physical appearance to better understand a character: before playing a homeless character in Antonia Bird's Safe, he went to live in the Waterloo area of London where the film was set; for his role as a bus driver in Ken Loach's Carla's Song, he passed the test for a PSV licence (a licence to drive a bus with passengers) in a Glasgow Leyland Atlantean bus.
Personal life
Carlyle is the Patron of School For Life Romania, Charity No. 1062953.
He is married to makeup artist Anastasia Shirley with whom he has three children: Ava (born 2002), Harvey (born 2004) and Pearce Joseph (born April 2006). The family lives in Glasgow, Scotland. Carlyle is also a supporter of Rangers F.C.

After the recent failure of exit polls in Bihar, pollsters from Delhi have decided to form a self-governing body of sorts. This is unlikely to be of much use.
The problems with opinion and exit polling in India aren't unique. But they are uniquely complicated by the fact that it's the world's second largest population with a FPTP system in a multi party electoral democracy in a vastly unequal society. The basic ways in which a survey, which is what a poll is except it asks questions on voting, can go wrong are finite. There can be either be sampling errors or response bias or a combination of the two.
A simple random sample will be one in which a pollster takes every nth voter from a voting list. Except, in real life we run into problems that caused an upheaval in America's nascent polling industry in the 1940s; George Gallup had to testify in a Congressional hearing about response rates of his polling. That is in America of the 1940s where only 10% of the population was black and most of them were disenfranchised anyway owing to Jim Crow laws. But even for that relatively homogeneous white voting population, the response rate had fallen to single digits. That is, if every nth voter is called, less than 10% of those called told the pollster their opinion/whom they voted for. This is for polling via telephone.
In India, the problem is complicated manifold. Firstly, telephone surveys don't work at all. There's a selection bias that's too huge to account for if only people with phones were polled. And, there are cultural and linguistic reasons as well: it's very difficult for someone who speaks in a certain urban way to get a Dalit in a rural area to answer questions on political opinion even if one assume the said Dalit possesses a phone and speaks the same language. Even if the pollster actually goes to where the voter is, it gets extremely complicated given how disparate the voting population and their living conditions are.
Firstly, a lot of people are going to refuse to answer. That's a fundamental problem for pollsters everywhere. This problem when overlaid with caste and religious fault lines in a largely feudal society, gets impossible to account for. The only kind of Dalit, for instance, who's likely to answer a survey is the kind of Dalit who's politically active. This is true for most most non-dominant castes and other social groups in various degrees. This is over and the problem of basic sampling; that in itself is difficult to get right given Census data does not provide caste information. At least until the last set.
And finally, even if they do answer, they can and often do lie. As it's been established, socially disadvantaged groups in feudal societies tell their interviewers what they think the interviewer wants to hear. So the problem thus far: we can't get a random sample, we can't adjust for selection bias because we can't get the social break up of the voting population right, we can't account for response rates and the resultant sampling bias and we don't account for response biases given we don't know the break-up in the first place.
The only way in which any of the above problems can be addressed is if the data is made public and there are more and more such polls so that some kind of adjustment factor for each of the above problems for each of the above groups can be found. These are academic endeavors that for-profit companies with short term goals don't solve well.
The other possibility, less likely but not implausible, is that one of the polling organizations makes data up or fudges it. Many of us when faced with such a difficult task may resort to that. Added reasons such as political bias and the ability of polls to influence people make it even more tempting. So such a regulatory body may be useful on that count.
Fudging can happen in many ways. The most simple form of it can be the kind that was found in the Research 2000/ Daily Kos scandal. It was simple manual fudging; exposed because of the inability of humans to be random even if they wanted to. The data was found to have even numbered percentage responses for both genders. The probability of that in one poll, which can happen, is 0.5*0.5 = 0.25. But they had even numbered response percentages for both genders for 24 successive polls. That results in an impossibly low probability; so low, it's less than one in all the atoms in the Universe. Most reasonable people will conclude, that's fudged. But that's just one way to fudge it. No one is going to do this again given people will now look for this.
The other method of fudging data is by having a base data set and adding noise to it to make it seem like it's a different data set. A famous example of this kind of data falsification was the gay marriage study which everyone was talking about in 2014. It's relatively easy, again, to find out this kind of falsification. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test does precisely this. And it's something Physicists use to do far more important things, because of which it's a well developed test. Even for those of us who did not take courses in Statistical Physics, the test is easy to administer these days given it takes one line of code. It's tempting to think, those who have political biases will indulge in precisely this kind of falsification. It's relatively easy and serves the purpose really well to take a base of a previous election you won and falsify it as new opinion/exit poll.
A self-regulating body, one fears will hardly be pointing fingers at itself. This is why opening up the data is important since the scientific method will address these aspects much better. The problem pollsters have of course is two fold: their secret sauce gets revealed and the secret sauce in this case often tends to be a series of assumptions which may be wrong.
Finally, a far better summing up of the American situation can be found here.

Some Things To Watch Out For While Looking For A Debris Container
Renting a dumpster is a good approach to take care of a large mess, whether you're renovating or cleaning up a home or small business. If you are intending to rent a roll-off bin, you might be unsure about the right course of action. The truth is there are a couple of rental tips you should be aware of.
Before you get your roll-off container, remember to look into Boulder City city ordinances to find out if you must buy a permit. There could be other sorts of instructions from Boulder City in regards to where you are allowed to set the dumpster while you've got it at your premises.
Don't forget to avoid disposing of things that are not allowed by the canister rental company or the landfill where the items you are disposing of will end up. For instance, most landfills will not allow all of the following items to be dumped, either on account of rental provider rules or regulations enforced by the local municipality, state, as well as federal government:
- Paints, paint thinners, solvents, and lacquers.
- Chemical cleaners and household compounds.
- Batteries.
- Fuels.
- Adhesives and resins.
If you suspect that a material may be dangerous, flammable, or noxious, then seek advice from your rental provider first before you place it into the container in order to be safe and sound.
Figuring Out the Right Dumpster Size
Determining the right size roll-off canister for your particular project or job site is often a hard thing to do. That's exactly why we have created a small tips guide that ought to give you a quick indication of the size of container should correctly fit your job.
- Kitchen and bathroom renovating (smallish)
- Deck removal (250 square feet)
- Roof shingle removal (1500 square feet, single layer)
- Cellar, garage, loft clean out
- Carpeting or flooring removal (large house)
- Deck removal (400 square feet)
- Roof shingle removal (3000 square feet, single layer)
- Any large additions to your home
- Building of a new home
- Demolition of a garage
- Siding or window replacement (small to medium house)
- Siding or window replacement (big home)
- Demolition debris, waste, cardboard
- Large house construction or renovation
- Commercial or office clean out
- Commercial or house roof tear off
As with any guidelines, you will need to use your best judgment. However, in case you have any doubts or are still uncertain about the right size container to use in your project give us a call and we will help determine what best meets your requirements.
How Container Rates in Boulder City are Calculated
Rental rates in Boulder City are influenced by a wide variety of factors. While most businesses usually provide no-cost estimates, it's important that you realize how rental rates are generally figured out. Listed below are a few of the most common factors affecting costs.
Size of the Rental Container
Clearly, larger containers can carry alot more volume and weight of debris. Transporting and dumping large containers also need to have more work. For this reason, renting larger canisters is more expensive than renting smaller canisters.
Landfill Costs
Many cities and states charge more than others for dumping debris at landfill sites located within their jurisdiction. The dumping charge that one municipality charges could be way more compared to what a different city costs. This fee is normally considered when computing canister rental fees. Most Nevada trash container rental companies include this cost in prices they quote.
Price of Transportation
Transport charges can vary with distance, if you're located far from a recycling center or landfill, you need to be expecting your price price quotes to be more expensive as compared to somebody who is located nearer the place that the container ultimately is going to be emptied.
Kind of Debris
General household waste material is considerably lighter than construction waste. That is why, it costs more for the disposal of construction waste. However, the exact opposite might be true when the construction waste is recyclable, as it costs less to dispose of recyclable materials at a recycling facility when compared to a garbage dump.
When renting a roll off dumpster, you should know the size of the unit, sort of waste, travel time from the dumping location and landfill charges in their municipality will influence rental costs.

Modern estate cars bear very little resemblance to the traditional boxy vehicle which always seemed to be accompanied by at least one obligatory dog. Sportwagens, Combis, Sports Tourers, there's a whole range of names to describe the new generation estate vehicles which are growing in popularity amongst both the retail and fleet markets.
Estate vehicles are extremely functional. Their boot space is generally plentiful and easy to access and they are now available with much sleeker lines and improved interior design. For the fleet driver who needs to carry large amounts of product, estate vehicles can be a real option, in terms of both cost effectiveness and fuel efficiency.
In the smaller fleet vehicle segment, the Skoda Octavia Combi and the Seat Leon Sports Tourer are both good options. In fact, this segment has seen such a growth in popularity that we are now seeing the return of the Volkswagen Golf Estate to Ireland, after a marked absence.
It has 605 litres of boot/cargo but that shoots up to 1,620-litres with the rear seats folded flat. With all three of these vehicles available in the ever-frugal 1.6TDi engine, they are a strong choice for the environmentally conscious (and financially astute) fleet manager. The Kia Cee'd Sportwagon might also be worth considering, as these vehicles are available in both a 1.4CRDi and 1.6CRDi engine and have some fairly decent spec levels.
Moving up in size, the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer, Mazda 6 Tourer and the Volvo V60 are all popular choices, as are the Audi A6 Avant and the BMW 5 Series Touring at a slighter higher end of the scale, with the Audi A4 Avant and the BMW 3 Series Touring sitting in between.These vehicles combine the comfort and luxury of their saloon counterparts, but with an increased level of storage and practicality.
If you are thinking about your current vehicle fleet or next company car, why not give Windsor Fleet a call on 01-419-8373 or click here and we can guide you on the best options.
