Win was one of most pleasing of the season
Chris Boden
Published: 22:51 Updated: 23:09 Tuesday 12 December 2017
Clarets boss Sean Dyche felt the win over Stoke City was "probably one of the most pleasing of the season".
Burnley moved into the Champions League places, for 24 hours at least, after a late winner from Ashley Barnes at Turf Moor.
Sean Dyche
It was a moment of quality in a game which wasn't for the aesthetics, on a night where the temperatures continued to plummet, and icy rain and howling winds made life difficult.
Dyche said: "It was a really hard night, a really awkward game with the weather and the feel of it, and it was a grind, to be honest, for both teams.
"I was super pleased because they've come off a tough result and had to give a response, and I think they did.
"We weren't quite at the races in the early part of the game, and we had to work out way back into the game, and came more into it in the second half.
"Credit to them, they've come off a bad result and changed their shape, and were cleverly direct into Crouch and played that well, and effectively, and we've had to defend really well.
"I don't think we let them have too many chances, but we had to defend the feel of the game well.
"So really pleased, there's other games where we've played a lot better and won, and we've had to grind and find those margins tonight, but in all of that, a moment of real quality.
"A great ball from Jack Cork into the front, fantastic play between Barnesy and Scott, simple but effective, and Barnesy's final touch and hit, I think that's an absolutely top drawer hit."
Barnes came off the bench to have a big impact: "He is an awkward customer, and it's hard, it wasn't a great game by any means, but the conditions were as bad as I've seen in a long time.
"The wind is swirling, the rain is all over the place, the pitch is taking a battering, but I'm really pleased with that result, it's probably one of the most pleasing of the season in different ways."
Left back Stephen Ward came off with a bang on his knee, while Burnley were without Ben Mee and Matt Lowton again, and Dyche added: "We've has injuries, people come off the pitch tonight, and the squad mentality is good, the willingness and desire of the players to take it on, and I believe in all of them.
Burnley fans voted fifth sexiest in the Premier League
"That's helping with that whole feel of the situation.
"The fans can enjoy it, enjoy talking about what they want, I know it's business as usual, because there's another big game on Saturday.
"The big thing for me as I've said, is are we moving forward? Not just as an XI but as a squad.
"When you have to make that many changes before and during a game, and they go and keep their shape, play, work, keep diligent to their jobs, and those fine moments of quality, that's all you can ask of players, and they gave a different kind of terrific performance in different ways to make sure we got a result."
Dyche wouldn't be drawn by his side moving fourth in the table, simply focusing on inching things forward and looking ahead to the trip to Brighton at the weekend: "I think the challenge for me, year on year is to keep it moving forward. Every year we try and move it forward, layer it on, on and off the pitch, and I think we're doing that.
"There's clear signs the group are getting stronger, and more assured. The league doesn't lie, but it's unpredictable we are where we are, just because of how good the other teams are, not because we're not a good team.
"But we've earned the right to be where we are, we enjoy that, but we know the next game comes quickly and we have to be ready."
Asked whether he was proud of achieving the club's highest league position since 1975, he added: "I'm proud of a lot of things, not just the league position, how the club's been managed from top to bottom, how were bringing it forward each season, we've worked very hard to create records, but they are markers in time, not about all the things you don't see, all the little details, work for, myself, my staff and the players to keep this club moving forward.
"I'm proud of all of that, when a bad day comes, you're still proud, it's not as easy job we have to do.
"I'm proud, super proud, prouder than the proudest man in proudsville!
"Markers in time and records are great to look back on, but in 20 years or so, it's more about the next game for me.
"We don't want to take anything for granted because the game owes you nothing. We're on a gray run again, but the next one owes you nothing."

Golden Boot Award motivates Memela to push even harder
PSL / 24 July 2018, 08:40am / Njabulo Ngidi

JOHANNESBURG – The Golden Boot award that Luvuyo Memela received at Orlando Pirates' awards in Rivonia on Thursday filled the midfielder with a sense of pride and embarrassment.
The pride stems from what he has gone through to not only represent the Buccaneers but be among their best performers in a career littered with disappointments and injuries. The 30-year-old spent three years at Ajax Cape Town without breaking into the first team before going to Hanover Park and Chippa United in the first division.
He then joined Cape Town All Stars in the amateur ranks, helping the side gain promotion to the first division which led to the Buccaneers snapping him up three years ago. He played his best football for Pirates last season and finished with five goals - a paltry total that was enough to give him the Golden Boot nonetheless.

"This award means that I must keep pushing and working hard," Memela said. "I must try and score more goals because five is not a huge number. If it was 20 or 25 then I would be happy. Getting this recognition now, not just the award but people realising what I can do, is humbling.
It also teaches others who are out there who still want to make it around this age that they can make it because there are a lot of players who are playing and don't believe that their day will come. I hope that this award and my achievement from last season inspires them not to give up."
Memela's resilience will now see him play in the CAF Champions League. That's a huge move for a player who was in the ABC Motsepe League less than five years ago. The Buccaneers will battle it out against the big boys in the continent later this year for the first time since they lost in the final of the 2013 Champions League. Memela is confident that this generation can do better than the class of 2013.

"We can go all the way in the Champions League," Memela said. "I know that the Champions League is tough but if we put our minds to it, and not worry about small things like fatigue, travelling, hotels and the heat - we can do wonders. There'll always be challenges in everything that you do in life, you shouldn't be defined by those challenges or let them get the better of you. You must put in the work and rise above those challenges."
The challenge for the Buccaneers is to make their improvement count for something this season. Pirates went from registering their worst finish in the PSL-era two seasons ago to fighting for the championship in the last campaign in coach Micho Sredojevic's first season.
"There's a lot that we still need to improve on," Memela said. "Obviously we must win trophies. We all want to win trophies. If it was up to me, we would win all the trophies on offer because we've got the quality. We have to work hard, listen to the coaches and do our homework.
We're given homework to analyse teams as players, how we're going penetrate them and how they are going to penetrate us. If we work together as we did, especially towards the end of the season, we will get something at the end of the coming season."

International Afro Dance Hall star and Nigerian native Lamboginny will preach and sing at Scarsdale Congregational Church at 10am on Sunday, July 15.
Lamboginny's music is rooted in the sounds of Jamaican Reggae integrated with elements of West African music known as Afrobeat.
Born Yinka Lawanson in the mid-80s, Lamboginny grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. In his early twenties, Lamboginny was inspired by artists like the late Bob Marley and Afrobeat music creator "Fela Anikulapo Kuti" who used their voices and music for more than entertainment. An opportunity to serve arrived in October 15, 2009 when a friend paved the way for Lamboginny's first prison concert. "Prisons permit pastors and teachers to minister to the inmates, but what about musicians? When I saw their hope after hearing my music, I knew then that I'd found my purpose," Lamboginny said.
To date, Lamboginny has performed more than a dozen prison concerts and has arranged for the release of 120 young Africans. With funds that he raises through his performances and record sales, he works to reintegrate released inmates into society, to find them jobs, and to provide vocational workshops to juvenile offenders still in prison. Lamboginny is known for his hit song "Say No To Crime" featuring Nigeria All Stars, Gbaladun with Olamide and I Believe in Africa. His current album, SALT, has garnered great reviews and is available on iTunes. Concert footage can be seen on YouTube.
Join them to hear his remarkable story and voice. Proceeds from a special offering will go to SALT endeavors, including raising funds for juvenile education and health facilities in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.

Georgetown Woman Arrested for Assaulting Elderly Female
Georgetown, Delaware-A parking violation led to a Georgetown woman being arrested Sunday evening after assaulting an elderly female in the Georgetown Plaza parking lot.
On Sunday, October 13, 2019 at approximately 6:30 p.m., Georgetown Police were dispatched to Georgetown Plaza for an assault complaint. Officers learned that the victim had exited a store and found a vehicle parked along the sidewalk which was blocking the ramp to enter the parking lot. The victim approached the vehicle and asked if the operator could move to allow her to use the ramp. While speaking with the operator of the vehicle, an unknown female approached the victim and tackled her to the ground. The suspect then left in a vehicle. Witnesses immediately responded to the victim who was subsequently transported to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses were able to provide a registration number for a vehicle the suspect was seen leaving in. Officers responded to the address listed on the vehicle registration and were able to identify and take the suspect into custody without incident.
Brianna Dadds, 22 of Georgetown, was arrested for Assault 2nd degree, Disorderly Conduct and committed to Sussex Correctional Institute.
On the Eve of the CNN Insider blowing the whistle on his own network…
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." – Samuel Adams.
This week, a CNN insider will blow the whistle and through Project Veritas will release dozens of recordings made of officials at the highest levels of CNN, revealing a political agenda, bias and misconduct hidden from public view.
This series of tapes — which we think will be the biggest story of the year for Project Veritas — blends two extraordinary series of events; a brave insider secretly recording at work and a hard-hitting piece of hidden camera muckraking into one of the supposed "most trusted names in news."
A major aspect of this story is the heroic actions of an insider.

Trump Orders Full Withdrawal From Northern Syria, Warns Sanctions On Turkey "Ready To Go"
Defense Secretary Mark Esper told "Face the Nation" in a Sunday interview that the Trump administration is "preparing to evacuate" about 1,000 U.S. troops from northern Syria "as safely and quickly as possible," CBS reports.
"In the last 24 hours, we learned that [the Turks] likely intend to extend their attack further south than originally planned, and to the west," Esper said. "We also have learned in the last 24 hours that the... SDF are looking to cut a deal, if you will, with the Syrians and the Russians to counterattack against the Turks in the north."
This as President Trump has also announced the US Treasury is "ready to go" with sanctions on Turkey.
This also comes after a week ago Trump ordered the withdrawal of US troops from northern border posts ahead of a Turkish military incursion to establish a so-called 'safe zone'. That decision has been met with fierce push back among Congressional leaders and pundits, angry at the US "betrayal" of its Syrian Kurdish partners, namely the US-funded and trained Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Welcome home! Bison released into new territory
Thanks to generous WWF supporters, bison now have 22,000 new acres to roam in Badlands National Park
The door of the gooseneck trailer clanged open and for a moment, the only sound was a lacerating wind whipping snow across the plains and canyons of Badlands National Park. A slew of onlookers waited in hushed anticipation. And then—as though a signaling bell chimed—four massive, majestic bison barreled through the opening and into the wild.
This is the first time that bison have touched this land since 1870.
Bison in Badlands National Park now have an additional 22,000 acres to roam thanks to a passionate group of supporters who want to see America's national mammal thrive.
"Bison are North America's largest and most iconic mammal, and WWF is thrilled to be part of an effort to create the second largest herd in the National Park system," said Martha Kauffman, managing director of WWF's Northern Great Plains program. "The project has touched the imaginations of people across the US, and the matching dollars that WWF has provided wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of our supporters."
Goodwin: Madness of leftist zealots
Watching the daily attacks and counterattacks in Washington, the optimist in me searches for the bright side. Surely there will be resolutions soon on Ukraine and impeachment, as well as on the misconduct of the FBI and CIA during the 2016 election.
All that will happen any day now, my sunny side assures me. One fine morning we'll wake up to learn President Trump and his tormentors are calling a cease-fire because they realize the dizzying tit-for-tat escalation is too hot for America's good.
Then we can all breathe a sigh of relief and get back to politics as normal, with Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives engaged in a tug of war that is serious but not destructive. The impact on the 2020 election will be immediate as the candidates pivot to the traditionally decisive issues of taxes and spending, war and peace.

California's New 'Red Flag' Gun Law So Extreme ACLU Deems "Significant Threat To Civil Liberties"
California adopted 15 firearms-related bills last Friday, including a controversial 'red flag' gun confiscation law which adds co-workers, employers and educators to the list of who can file a gun violence restraining order on those they say are a danger to themselves and others. Currently, only law enforcement and immediate family members can apply to temporarily confiscate peoples' firearms. Most of the new laws take effect January 1, according to the LA Times.
Signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) after being vetoed twice by his Democratic predecessor Jerry Brown (who said that educators can work through family members or law enforcement if a restraining order is required), the gun confiscation bill is so broad that the ACLU said it "poses a significant threat to civil liberties" since guns can be seized from owners before they have an opportunity to contest the requests, and those making the requests may "lack the relationship or skills required to make an appropriate assessment," NBC San Diego reports.
All that's needed for a co-worker or educator to file a complaint is to have had "substantial and regular interactions" with gun owners, along with permission from their employers or school administrators. Those seeking the orders will be required to file a sworn statement outlining their concerns.

CHOWCHILLA BUS KIDNAPPING SURVIVOR: "I FELT LIKE I WAS AN ANIMAL GOING TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE"
It was one of the largest kidnappings in U.S. history. A school bus with 26 children was stopped by three armed gunmen as they headed home from the Dairyland Elementary School in the small California town of Chowchilla. The men were wearing pantyhose over their faces.
"Where their eyes were, it was like, it almost looked hollow," recalls survivor Larry Park, just 6 years old at the time. "It was like looking at death."
The children and their school bus driver were transferred to vans and were driven for nearly 12 unbearable hours before being buried alive inside a truck trailer underground — held hostage in the dark for another 16 hours before they made a harrowing escape.
William Barr warns of 'militant' secularism in speech about declining religious values
Attorney General William Barr said declining religious values and the loss of the "traditional moral order" is causing many of society's ills.
Speaking at the University of Notre Dame Law School Friday, Barr said that because of a "moral upheaval" there has been an increase in drug use, children born out of wedlock, and people being alienated.
"The campaign to destroy the traditional moral order has coincided and I believe has brought with it immense suffering and misery. And yet the forces of secularism, ignoring these tragic results, press on with even greater militancy," the attorney general said.
Barr, 69, is a devout Catholic. During the speech, he touched on efforts by the Justice Department to assist faith-based organizations that fight for religious liberty. He also warned about the "progressive" movement in U.S. politics.
Elizabeth Warren Is Jussie Smollett
What they have in common turns out to have nothing to
do with skin tone.
Elizabeth Warren has a moving story about being fired from a teaching job because she was pregnant, a story that perfectly complements her political narrative that she is the tribune and champion of those who have been treated unfairly by the powerful. Joe Biden has a moving — and horrifying — story about his wife and daughter being killed by a drunk driver, a story that similarly could not have been designed more perfectly to bolster his political image as a man who can be counted on to soldier on in the face of adversity.
Of course, neither story is true.
Are we still caring about that sort of thing?
Elizabeth Warren has long pretended to be a person of color — a "woman of color," the Harvard law faculty called her. (That color is Pantone 11-0602.) What Senator Warren has in common with Jussie Smollett turns out to have nothing to do with skin tone. Smollett, you'll recall, regaled the nation with the story of a couple of violent, Trump-loving, MAGA-hat-wearing white supremacists who just happened to be cruising a gay neighborhood in Chicago on the coldest night of the year, who also just happened to be fans of Empire, who also just happened to have some rope at hand. Who happened, as it turns out, to be a couple of Nigerian brothers and colleagues of Smollett's.
Hunter Biden Leaves China Board as Trump Attacks Hit Home
Hunter Biden is walking away from the board of a Chinese-backed private equity company as part of a public pledge to disavow all foreign work if his father, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, gains the presidency in 2020.
Joe Biden's second son made his move after a month of pushing by U.S. President Donald Trump who has publicly highlighted the perceived – and real – conflicts of interest represented by Biden's work in Asia.
A statement released on his behalf by his legal counsel George Mesires said his relationship with the management company of a private equity fund that's backed by Chinese state-owned entities will end within weeks.
CUMMINGS VIOLATES BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT AGAIN TO ISSUE POLITICAL SUBPOENA TO ICE AND USCIS
WASHINGTON, DC – Friday, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, sent a letter to Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) requesting that he convene a business meeting to allow Members to debate and vote on the Chairman's proposed subpoena to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Excerpts from the letter:
"These subpoenas are an unnecessary and abusive tactic to use against an Executive Department that has already reached your desired policy outcome. DHS informed the Committee weeks ago that it would resume 'its consideration of non-military deferred action requests on a discretionary, case-by-case basis, except as otherwise required by an applicable statute, regulation, or court order.' You yourself subsequently acknowledged and applauded this decision in a press release."
"However, despite this action by the agency, you have eschewed any cooperative posture with the Department and chosen confrontation. Continuing to threaten Department officials with compulsory process serves no legitimate oversight purpose. Similarly, such behavior may undermine any future Committee efforts to conduct responsible and credible oversight. Your decision to continue to engage in confrontational behavior with DHS suggests that your intent is not the furtherance of a legitimate oversight effort, but rather purely partisan theater and the continuation of your pattern of attacks on the Trump Administration."

Maria Bartiromo: DOJ inspector general report due out Friday and covers 'more than just FISA abuse'
Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo says her sources are telling her an extensive report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses by the Justice Department and the FBI will be released by the end of next week.
Bartiromo, who is the first journalist to report an exact release date, discussed what she had learned on her Fox News show, Sunday Morning Futures, with two Republican congressmen who deduced former high-ranking government officials are bracing for a scathing critique.
"I'm hearing the IG report will be out this upcoming Friday, Oct. 18, and my sources say it's as thick as a telephone book," Bartiromo said, adding that it covers "more than just FISA abuse."
FBI: More people killed with knives, hammers, clubs and even feet than rifles in 2018
It's the data that the mainstream media tends to bury when it doesn't fit their agenda.
According to the FBI, more than five times as many people were killed in 2018 by knives, clubs and other cutting instruments than with rifles.
The metrics show that there were a total of 1,515 deaths by knives or other cutting instruments last year. Compare that against 297 people killed by rifles.
It's a gap that widened significantly over 2017. In that year, the FBI said nearly four times as many people were stabbed to death as killed with rifles. During that year, the number of murders with rifles was around 400.
It gets better. More than 100 more people were killed with hammers and clubs in 2018 than were killed by rifles. There were 443 people killed with hammers, clubs, or other "blunt objects".

The Worst States for Retirement in 2019, Maryland is #1
Americans who want to stay in the U.S. when they retire have 50 states to choose from. That can be a tough decision, and it's not made any easier by studies offering different recommendations to pick this state or that one -- but never, ever that other one.
Who has time to sort through all of that? You're busy saving for retirement! Lucky for you, we're here to help.
We've taken three of the top studies of the best and worst states for retirement and have consolidated the rankings into one master list. We count down the 16 states on the bottom overall. You might think of them as the worst of the worst states for retirement.
OUR METHODOLOGY: We added each state's retirement ranking from Bankrate, WalletHub and Kiplinger to create scores out of a possible 150. The higher the score, the worse the state is for retirees.
CNN's Brian Stelter debunks 'left-wing conspiracy theory' on Shepard Smith departure
CNN media analyst Brian Stelter and Fox News' Howard Kurtz both addressed the conspiracies that surfaced after Shepard Smith abruptly announced he was leaving the network he had worked for since its inception.
Following the announcement, many speculated that Attorney General William Barr's recent meeting with Fox mogul Rupert Murdoch could have been the reason behind Smith's departure. However, both the network and Smith denied that his leaving stemmed from anything but his own choice.
"There was also a left-wing conspiracy theory out there about Shep Smith the other day, and I want to debunk it," Stelter stated on Reliable Sources on Sunday. "There was a report in the New York Times that Rupert Murdoch had a meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr. That's true they did meet, but it had nothing to do with Smith resigning a day or two later."

Schiff: 'May not be necessary' for whistleblower to testify
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff revealed that his committee may not call on the whistleblower to testify.
The whistleblower, who has been identified as a CIA official with ties to former Vice President Joe Biden, filed a complaint within the intelligence community over a July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the call, Trump requested that the foreign leader investigate Biden and his son Hunter, who worked in the country.
Schiff acknowledged that his committee may not call upon the whistleblower to testify if they don't think they can protect the person's identity during a Sunday morning appearance on CBS's Face The Nation.
BOMBSHELL EXCLUSIVE: SOROS MOLE FIONA HILL IS SECOND WHITE HOUSE WHISTLEBLOWER
The second White House whistleblower in the Democrats' Ukraine witch hunt is none other than George Soros operative Fiona Hill, Infowars has learned.
Infowars was contacted by sources close to the president confirming our suspicions that Fiona Hill is definitely one of the so-called White House whistleblowers involved in the current Ukraine witch hunt against President Trump.
Infowars first reported that Hill worked as a mole for Soros when Trump confidante Roger Stone broke the bombshell in May 2017, revealing that Hill was serving as Soros' mole under the supervision of former NSA adviser H.R. McMaster.
Trump calls Tlaib a 'despicable human being' for considering detaining officials who don't comply with subpoenas
President Trump called freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib a "despicable human being" after she said House Democrats have considered jailing his allies who don't comply with subpoena requests.
Trump added the comment about Tlaib to a post from Dan Scavino, the White House director of social media. Scavino had posted an article about Tlaib with the caption, "Sounds about right. COUP!"
A despicable human being! https://t.co/3KpgUuRaXU— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 13, 2019
Tlaib, 43, is a member of the so-called squad, a group of progressive Democrats that also includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
