Сборная Гибралтара по футболу — сборная, представляющая Гибралтар на международных турнирах и товарищеских матчах. Управляющая организация — Футбольная ассоциация Гибралтара.

С 1 октября 2012 года Гибралтар был временным членом УЕФА. Решение о постоянном членстве Гибралтара в этой организации было принято на XXXVII Очередном Конгрессе УЕФА 24 мая 2013 года. На сегодняшний день Гибралтар является самым маленьким государством из всех членов УЕФА, имея население около 30 тысяч человек.

13 мая 2016 года Гибралтар стал 211-м членом ФИФА (172 голосов за и 12 против).

По состоянию на 19 ноября 2021 года сборная в рейтинге ФИФА занимает 203-е место, а в рейтинге УЕФА на 11 октября 2017 года — 55-е.

История

Островные игры
История национальной футбольной команды Гибралтара начинается в 1923 году, когда Гибралтар сыграл два товарищеских матча с испанской «Севильей», проиграв оба.

Первым официальным турниром, в котором приняла участие сборная Гибралтара, стали Островные игры в 1993 году, в которых Гибралтар выступал вплоть до 2011 года. Гибралтар проиграл на первом турнире все свои матчи, забил лишь один гол и финишировал на последнем месте. В 1995 году сборная Гибралтара стала хозяйкой турнира и сыграла более удачно. Несмотря на поражение в первом матче против сборной Гренландии, Гибралтар одержал свою первую победу в следующем матче против сборной острова Мэн. Ещё одна победа над сборной Англси (острова в составе Уэльса) позволила Гибралтару занять второе место в группе и выйти в полуфинал. В полуфинале гибралтарцы обыграли сборную Джерси со счётом 1:0. В финале сборная Гибралтара проиграла сборной острова Уайт и заняла второе место.

В 1997 году, после двух побед и двух поражений, футбольная сборная Гибралтара заняла 6-е место на Островных играх. В 1999 году команда заняла лишь 11-е место. В 2001 году Гибралтар стал 5-м. В 2003 году сборная Гибралтара одержала свою крупнейшую победу в истории, разгромив сборную Сарка со счётом 19:0. В этом году Гибралтар финишировал на Островных играх на 6-м месте. В 2005 году Гибралтар не принимал участия в играх. В 2007 году сборная Гибралтара впервые в своей истории выиграла Островные игры, обыграв в финале сборную Родоса со счётом 7:0.

Заявки на вхождение в состав ФИФА и УЕФА
Одну из первых попыток войти в состав УЕФА Гибралтар предпринял в 2001 году, когда на 6 и 7 сентября было назначено голосование Исполнительного комитета УЕФА о принятии в их состав федераций Казахстана и Гибралтара: окончательное решение ожидалось в октябре того же года. Изначально УЕФА выступало за то, чтобы присвоить Гибралтару статус наблюдателя и допустить его к соревнованиям молодёжных и женских футбольных сборных Европы. Однако Испания резко воспротивилась этой инициативе, пригрозив выйти из состава УЕФА.

25 августа 2006 года Гибралтар подал очередную заявку на вхождение в состав ФИФА и УЕФА. 6 декабря того же года ФИФА отклонила заявку, объяснив, что «Гибралтар не соответствует установленным требованиям для членства в ФИФА». 26 января 2007 года было объявлено об отказе в предоставлении Гибралтару членства в Союзе европейских футбольных ассоциаций (УЕФА). Лишь 3 члена УЕФА из 52 проголосовали «за» предоставление членства Гибралтару (это были Англия, Шотландия и Уэльс). Самым непримиримым оппонентом вхождения Гибралтара в УЕФА стала Испания, заявившая, что будет бойкотировать любые турниры, в которых будет играть Гибралтар. После этого Гибралтар подал протест в Спортивный арбитражный суд.

21 марта 2012 года Спортивный арбитражный суд рассмотрел запрос Гибралтара. Была составлена «дорожная карта», в которой были обозначены мероприятия, требуемые для вхождения в состав УЕФА. «Дорожная карта» будет действовать вплоть до созыва очередного XXXVII конгресса УЕФА в Лондоне в мае 2013 года, на котором члены УЕФА проголосуют по вопросу о предоставлении статуса Гибралтару.

Исполнительный комитет УЕФА представил Футбольной ассоциации Гибралтара статус временного члена УЕФА 1 октября 2012 года. После голосования, которое прошло 24 мая 2013 года, этот статус стал постоянным. Заявка на вступление в ФИФА была отклонена из-за претензий Испании и согласно уставу, указывающий принцип одна страна — одна федерация, а Гибралтар является непосредственной заморской территорией Великобритании. Тем не менее в 2016 году на очередном конгрессе было принято решение о включении Гибралтара (наряду с Косово) в состав ФИФА.

Старт на чемпионатах Европы
После того как сборная Гибралтара стала полноценным членом УЕФА, сборная впервые выступила в отборочном цикле к чемпионату Европы 2016 года. В своём первом официальном матче сборная Гибралтара дома проиграла сборной Польши со счётом 0:7.Во втором матче отборочного цикла сборная Гибралтара вновь уступила с таким же счётом 0:7, но на этот раз сборной Ирландии. 29 марта в матче против Шотландии футболист Ли Касьяро забил первый гол Гибралтара в официальных матчах сборной.

Форма
В настоящий момент поставщиком формы национальной сборной является компания Admiral Sportswear. Цвет формы — красный с белыми фрагментами, что отражает цвета национального флага.

Текущий состав
Следующие игроки были вызваны в состав сборной главным тренером Хулио Сесаром Рибасом для участия в матчах Лиги наций УЕФА 2022/2023 против сборной Грузии (2 июня 2022), сборной Северной Македонии (5 июня 2022), сборной Болгарии (9 июня 2022) и сборной Северной Македонии (12 июня 2022).

Thunderjacks hold UBC's first international loggers' sports competition
Written by Isabelle Commerford

Cats Flippin Birds Presents
Merlin Cosmos & Special Guests
July 27 & 28 Event Begins @
Saturday, Jul 27 at 7 PM - Sunday, Jul 28 at 1 AM
Lana Lous
Over the weekend, Forestry Undergraduate Society held UBC's first international Logger Sports Competition at Thunderbird Commons, just outside of the Forest Sciences Centre.
Teams from the University of Idaho and the University of Montana attended the event hosted by UBC's Thunderjacks with the intention of honouring the strong history of lumberjacks here in British Columbia. The Thunderjacks are hoping to grow their club in upcoming years to include students from all faculties.
Choker races – sprinting and tying logging equipment together – is one of the events included in the competition that is still applicable to the logging industry said Arlo Bryn-Thorne, president of the club. Bucking logs — taking off it's branches with crosscut saws and throwing axes at targets, alternatively — are not as productive in the logging industry these days, but are still favourites among the Thunderjacks.
The Thunderjacks value teamwork, which means that events like the Jack and Jill stock saw are celebrated because of their collaborative aspect. A good combination of strength and technique allowed the saw to cut through the stump in less than 60 seconds. Although the events are competitive, the winning teams always managed to take time to cheer on the runners-up until their finish.
First-year lumberjack and VP internal for the FUS, Esmée MacDonald, said that although the club has been around for a while now, logger sports are still virtually unknown among UBC students. A demo at the beginning of the year is what introduced her to the team. As a result of this relative stasis, those participating in the competitions and practices are clearly a tight-knit crew as made evident by their encouraging cheers during intense axe-throwing.
Despite the fun the team has, a lot of hard work goes into bringing an event like this to campus. One of the main challenges is a lack of support from UBC itself. Due to being denied competitive club-status, logger sports at UBC rely solely on funding from the FUS and whatever additional sponsorships they can muster. Additionally, booking the field to host the competition is more difficult for unofficial UBC clubs.
Fortunately, the support that they currently receive allowed the team to travel to compete at the University of Montana last year. The Thunderjacks are hoping to grow the club to gain funding for more opportunities and hosting a competition on home-turf is a big step in that direction.
UBC Forestry Logger Sports is open to students from all faculties. You can drop in for practices near Thunderbird Stadium and find out more at their Facebook page!

We are in the business of ensuring the best available groundwater for you..
The unfortunate reality is ground water can be influenced by surrounding geological rock formations that contain soluble minerals. On its way to your well, water, the universal solvent, picks up those soluble mineral characteristics that show themselves as stains, solids, odors and crust to name a few. Water quality (or quantity for that matter) cannot be easily predicted before a well is drilled.
Many well drillers may leave water quality to the unsuspecting user, Curtis Drilling feels obliged and therefore maintains an on-site water testing lab dedicated to timely accurate results.
For best results and conclusive testing, the well should be allowed to operate under its expected load for about a month to determine the water's truly represented aesthetic properties.
Our lab is staffed with people that can accurately identify the well water chemistry problems and more importantly provide effective treatment options should they be needed. The long and short of it is, we will provide you the right solution from our problem solving approach instead of a "sales pitch" about what we have in stock.
We also offer microbiological Coliform and e.Coli. water testing for State Well Certification.
Please check these pages for more information about water testing and treatment.


I can assure you that dementia is a priority for both myself and the Government. In 2015, the Challenge on Dementia 2020 was launched and I know that the Government remains committed to delivering this. This sets out the vision for dementia care, support, awareness and research to be transformed by 2020. I fully support the ambition to ensure that the United Kingdom offers the world's best dementia care.
Progress in the care, support and treatment of people with dementia has been made, with more people receiving a diagnosis of dementia than ever before. I warmly welcome the fact that over 660,000 NHS staff have received dementia training with further training opportunities rolled out to all NHS staff by the end of 2018. Furthermore, over 100,000 social care workers have received some form of dementia awareness training. Since 2015, new care staff have been trained to receive the Care Certificate, which equips them with the knowledge and skills to provide safe and compassionate care, including for those with dementia.
I firmly believe that it is important to increase public awareness of dementia and I am encouraged that there are over 1.7 million Dementia Friends and 175 Dementia Friendly Communities in England.
Research is crucial to understanding and tackling dementia and the Government has doubled research spending on dementia. This will be maintained to total over £300 million by 2020, with the UK's first ever Dementia Research Institute receiving £150 million.
The Government is integrating and improving health and social care to protect people at every stage of their lives, increasing NHS spending by a minimum of £8 billion in real terms over the next five years. Furthermore, the Government is committed to publishing a Green Paper this year, which will outline a new social care policy, which is financially sustainable, accessible, and properly integrated with the NHS. To this end, I am encouraged by the establishment of the Department of Health and Social Care this year, which will oversee the intelligent integration of health and social care, which I believe will be vitally important with Alzheimer's, on which so much important research is undertaken in the NHS.

Delirium is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, hospital costs, and postdischarge cognitive dysfunction. Most research focuses on nontrauma patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit.
To determine the prevalence and predictors of delirium in trauma patients residing in intensive and intermediate care units of an academic medical center.
Trauma patients were screened for delirium by using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. Exclusion criteria included documented brain injury, history of psychosis or cognitive impairment, not speaking English, and hearing or vision loss.
Of the 215 study patients, 24% were positive for delirium; 36% of patients in the intensive care unit and 11% of patients in the intermediate care unit. Delirium-positive patients were older (mean age, 53.4 years) than patients who were not (mean age, 44 years; P = .004). Although mechanical ventilation (odds ratio, 4.73, P = .004) was the strongest independent risk factor for delirium, 12% of delirium-positive patients were not receiving mechanical ventilation. Other predictors of delirium were use of antipsychotic medications, higher scores on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III, and lower scores on the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale.
Patients in both the intermediate and intensive care units, whether mechanical ventilation was used or not, were positive for delirium. Delirium prevention protocols may benefit trauma patients regardless of their inpatient location.


The effect from and the effect from Invocation d'une statue du Serpent de jade are separate and stackable.
That means that if you have both and Invocation d'une statue du Serpent de jade active, you get 100% damage converted to healing.
This statue doesn't look anything like Yu'lon. At least Invocation d'une statue du Buffle noir looks like Niuzao sorta. This... not at all.
I feel that its worthwhile to mention here that presently (Legion patch 7.1) the Invocation d'une statue du Serpent de jade will continue to channel Brume apaisante on the last target you channeled Brume apaisante on, even if you stop channeling it or cast something else. It will continue to channel on your last Brume apaisante target until you affect another target with your Brume apaisante, or the statue's target moves out of range of the statue (which seems to be at least 50 to 60 yards from my experience, possibly even 100, but I have not measured; I'm just from guessing from what I've seen in dungeons).
2- Healing of each tick is equal to 40% of Brume apaisante's ticks. As a result over its full duration it heals 50% more than 1 fully channeled Brume apaisante.
5- Like other statues, Statue du Serpent de jade inherits all of the caster's stats but unlike other statues it only has 50% of the caster's HP.
Vous invoquez une statue du Serpent de jade à l'emplacement ciblé. Lorsque vous canalisez Brume apaisante, la statue commence également à canaliser le sort sur votre cible, lui rendant (16% of Spell power) points de vie toutes les 1 s.

Saying thank you is probably one of the first lessons in good manners that you were taught. Those two little words hold a lot of weight behind them. They show the person that you are thanking that you appreciate the kind words or gesture that they have given you. However as we get older some occasions will call for more than just saying these word, they may require more, like a bunch of flowers for a thank you gift.
Thank you flowers are a great gift to send to a friend or loved one who has gone out of their way to help you, like your best friend who helped you move house (more than once, we may add). Helping someone one move house definitely calls for flowers for a thank you. So where is the best place for you to buy and send thank you flowers online? Well that would be your favourite online florist in South Africa of course also known as NetFlorist.co.za!!

Q: What nvidia driver do i need for Gefroce 920M and how can i install it? I have installed ubuntu on my windows machine and now i want to install driver for it but i confused which nvidia driver to install. I have Nvidia GeForce 920M 4GB graphics card. Please help.

A: You can use ubuntu-drivers package, it will install it for you.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # this will show you information
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Make sure to blacklist nouveau driver if installs the nvidia package.
How to disable Nouveau kernel driver

A: We only have 2 options: generic or 3rd party. And the reason to install either has nothing to do with quality of the driver but if you want to keep your system FREE (as in not corrupted by drivers we/you can not visually check).
The generic one is installed by default. The 3rd party version you need to install yourself.
My advice: if the generic one works stick with that one.

Metro do Porto covers operating costs
PORTUGAL: According to the annual report and accounts approved by shareholders at their annual general meeting on May 30, Metro do Porto SA covered 105⋅9% of operating costs from receipts in 2015, the first time that it has made a surplus since operations began in 2002.
The surplus of €2⋅3m recorded in 2015 is 'virtually unprecedented' for a European public transport operator, says Metro do Porto, driven by a 1⋅4% year-on-year increase in traffic which set a new record of 57⋅7 million passenger-journeys. Fares income in 2015 also set a new record of €40⋅9m, up 3⋅3% on the year before.
In addition, Metro do Porto highlights operating costs which were down 11⋅6% year-on-year at €38⋅7m. The 67 km network now comprises six lines, operated with a fleet of 102 light rail vehicles.
The Portuguese government is the majority shareholder in Metro do Porto SA, holding 40% of the company, with 39⋅9% owned by the greater Porto authority. Porto bus operator STCP holds 16⋅7% and national passenger rail operator CP 3⋅3%.

Board Social Capital Reduces Implied Cost of Capital For Private Companies But not of State-Owned Companies
Postado por Wesley Mendes da Silva | abr 29, 2021 | ESG, Expertise | 0 |
Together with Luciano Rossoni and Alex Gonçalves we empirically investigate how the material and symbolic resources available in the board of directors' network can be a powerful mechanism to increase the board's strength in properly monitoring executives and controlling the opportunism of stockholders. Consequently, the board's greater strength and privileged position may mitigate agency problems and reduce information asymmetry between equity-holding companies and securities analysts. Therefore, we have tested the hypothesis that boards with valuable relational resources, i.e. greater board social capital, are a relevant mechanism to mitigate firms' cost of capital.
We define relational resources as those symbolic and material resources that do not belong to a company but that can potentially be mobilized through network relationships and by means of the board interlock. Board interlocks occur when a board member of an "A" company acts simultaneously on the board of a "B" company, creating a bond for the exchange of benefits. Relational resources, although they are one of the essential dimensions of social capital, are practically set aside in the board interlock literature, since most studies consider as proxy of board social capital the number of ties, at most, specifying the type of actor you are relating to.
Faced with the recurrent limitation in the literature on board social capital, we use a social capital proxy that captures at the same time the number of interlocks weighted by the relational resources. Indeed, we operationalize the board relational resources from the sum of the market value of all the companies that a firm has an interlock with. Therefore, firms that have ties with more valuable firms, in our proxy, have greater social capital. We advocate that our board social capital proxy especially has two advantages. First, ties with higher-value firms should potentially provide access to most valuable material and symbolic resources that firms of lower value. Second, we understand that directors from higher-value firms tend to have a higher reputation and prestige, which makes them stronger on the board. Stronger directors can act as more rigorous monitors, mitigating the opportunism of executives and controlling shareholders, even because there is a greater moral charge in the boardroom for them to act professionally.
Additionally, because these board relational resources are means for obtaining privileged information and differentiated knowledge, we also consider the market value of relationships based on the heterogeneity of such ties, measured through structural holes. Structural holes are rich ties in non-redundant relationships, more likely to have new and valuable information. According to these definitions, which are based on the premise that resources are unequally distributed in networks, we argue that board social capital allows effective access to financial capital by the companies with the most competitive costs. To demonstrate our argument, we analyze 137 companies listed in the Brazilian stock exchange between the years of 2002 and 2015, showing the effect of the board social capital on predictions of analysts regarding the implied cost of capital.
We chose the cost of financial capital because it is fundamental to firm leverage since it is one of the most important resources for publicly traded companies, whose financing strategies are fundamental for their survival and growth. For that, we have chosen estimates of the implied (ex ante) cost of capital, which is based on the prediction of analysts. So, we contrast our results with public and privately controlled companies. Problems and peculiarities inherent in public management restrict, or sometimes render unfeasible, the performance of the board members as a source of external resources.
Among these problems, we can highlight, for example: expropriation of the interests of minority shareholders by the state; management of antagonistic interests created by the state's regulatory and regulatory function; and misappropriation of public resources to attend to their own interests, partisans or votes. These problems, which are inherent in state-owned companies, at least hypothetically, make it difficult for board members to freely exercise their role of monitoring executives and dominant shareholders and collecting external resources, which would lead to a lesser impact from board social capital on the implied capital cost of state-owned companies.
Our results pointed out that the board social capital reduces the implied cost of capital for private companies but not for state-owned companies. For these reasons, we checked whether our board social capital proxy was robust when we contrasted the effect on the implied cost of capital with other board structure variables: board size, number of interlocks and outsiders. Given the ability of dominant shareholders to mitigate the board effect, we also check whether the board social capital was significant when contrasted with ownership concentration. Using instrumental variables and systems of equations, we have also demonstrated that the board social capital mitigates the discount of the ownership concentration on the implied cost of capital. Finally, we section the sample according to the level of corporate governance in the Brazilian stock market, demonstrating that the board social capital only operates at higher levels of governance quality.

So I started reading this book a while ago, then had to put it on hold because I had my dissertation to write and then exams, it wasn't because I didn't enjoy it. In fact, I was incredibly surprised by just how much I liked this book. You know, I'm actually not a fan of contemporary reads at all. Just not the genre I usually gravitate towards, but I do have an inkling for picking up contemporary novels during the summer months. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. Right? Right.
Not gonna lie, I was surprised by just how well the characters were fleshed out. I mean, don't get me wrong, there could have been a lot more done in regards to showing who are as people, but overall, Katie Dale did a great job. There were certain points where the weight of the situation and the emotions were communicated so well I felt heartbroken for the characters. Especially so when it came to a certain character we get to meet later on in the story. There so many twists and turns one after another, after another, after ANOTHER, that it got exhausting. I was sitting there like "christ almighty, give these people a break"!! It was good though. That's what you want from a book.
Overall, this a very nice read. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended. Oh and also, I have a favourite quote from the book so I'll wrap up this post with it.
When I read the book, the song Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood seemed to be perfect for the mood, so I'll leave that here too.
Have you read Someone Else's Life by Katie Dale? If so, let's talk! If not, I recommend for you to pick it up.

KCS Country Risk & Threat Advisory Briefing: Qatar
Qatar is somewhat unique in the Middle East. An emirate which rejected the chance to join the UAE, which is far more comfortable with ties to Iran than its neighbours, and which has only 10% of its entire population being domestic. This tiny state is nevertheless a major player in global affairs, sometimes through no desire of its own. It will be hosting the 2022 World Cup – which will significantly raise its global profile – and is looking to become a global financial hub to rival Dubai, but at the same time is facing accusations of human rights abuses for its treatment of migrant workers and a near-total moratorium on relationships with almost every other state in the region.

George Clooney Uses Satellite Sentinel Project To Catch Poachers
By Elizabeth Willoughby on April 10, 2015
Although actor and activist George Clooney co-founded the Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) as a way to systematically monitor threats to human security over Sudan and South Sudan, it is now also being used, in cooperation with ENOUGH Project and DigitalGlobe, to keep watch over elephants in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
There is good reason for this, according to the groups' report Poachers Without Borders, which claims that Sudanese and South Sudanese poachers are killing elephants in Garamba National Park and selling their ivory tusks to the Asian black market.
The lucrative return ($1,000 to $1,300 per pound, which means up to $175,500 per tusk for an adult male) is used as funding for weapons, ammunition and supplies. Using high powered weaponry to kill several elephants at once, and then quickly removing the tusks by chainsaw, the animals are being butchered at an unprecedented rate.
Using satellite imagery and predictive analytics, SSP and its partners aim to assist park rangers in tracking the migrating herds through the vast park, as well as help focus patrol efforts on probable areas according to "historical geospatial trend analysis, cost surface travel analysis, key terrain analysis, and predictive analysis".
"If the application of the predictive analysis helps to slow the slaughter of elephants," says the report, "the analytical method and tools could be used elsewhere in Africa to stem the increasingly rapid slaughter that is taking a heavy toll on the continent's elephant population."

In a new opinion piece in TIME Magazine last week, George Clooney, John Prendergast, and Justyna Gudzowska warn that a brutal campaign by the Kremlin-linked mercenary firm the Wagner Group to access gold and other assets from Africa could prove to be a "lifeline" for the Russian war effort in Ukraine.
