India is the world's most populated country and still relatively poor. As thus, its energy choices will influence in a major way our common future.
Lucky for us, the much heralded grid parity has reached the country as the local energy minister stated recently that solar is now cheaper than coal there.
As a result, solar is booming in the world's largest democracy. Currently the country has only seven gigawatts of capacity. But this is only the beginning as the solar PV capacity is due to reach 100 GW by 2022. This solar boom is only a part of a larger picture.
Energy efficiency is also being pushed forward a lot by the government. A hundred million LED bulbs have been distributed in the country. 100,000,000 ! Imagine if all G20 Nations were this enthusiastic at promoting energy efficiency… Meanwhile, the country is also doing its best to ditch coal.
On April 23, 2016, India signed the Paris Climate Act and announced plans to increase renewable power capacity to 175 gigawatts (4 times current capacity) by 2022 as part of the government's plan to supply electricity to every household.
India seeks to add 100 gigawatts (GWs) of solar (photovoltaic) capacity, 60 GWs of wind power, 10 GWs of biomass and five GWs of hydro projects.
India hopes to source around two-fifths of its electricity from renewable and low-carbon energy sources and to reduce its emissions intensity, i.e. ratio of carbon emissions per unit of GDP, by around a third by 2030.
All these massive initiatives are taking place as frightening air pollution levels kill as many as 670,000 Indian people every year and is costing the country hundreds of billions of dollars as reported by the Washington Post.
The drought and blistering heat, some 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit above normal, has claimed 300 lives since early April.
Towns on India's eastern side have been hit with record-setting temperatures — 119.3 degrees in the town of Titlagarh, Orissa, which is the highest temperature ever recorded in that state during April.
The Guardian also reported of armed guards keeping dams as 330 million people were suffering from water shortages. This is more than the US population.
To conclude, neighboring Bangladesh has 15 million solar households as the New York Times reported recently. This is particularly astounding when one knows how poor the country is and how fast this solar boom has taken place. Still recently the country was just counting one then three million solar households.

A Beauty Guide To Transform Your Whole Body With Vedatrim !!


Recently we cleared out our storage shed. Boxes and boxes of boxes; some belonged in the past, some in the present, some in the future. When I was unpacking them I couldn't help but think of those Russian Matryoshka dolls – where inside one doll is another, then another, then… you know the ones. It occurred to me that we all live in boxes within boxes.
It was amazing how much redundant junk I'd been storing for years. It was a pleasant surprise to discover terrific things that I'd forgotten I had, once I'd thrown out the junk. There was so much more space for fresh things and I found I could consolidate boxes.
The size of your box depends on what you've got shoved in it. The less junk you have in it the more usable space there is. It's a bit like that with our musical creativity – every now and then we need to trash some of our old ways of thinking in order to make space for some fresh stuff.
In my last blog I spoke about how it would be great if we could be more creative with our music, both in our playing and in our listening by thinking 'outside the box', as the saying goes.
But is this actually misguided? I think confinement is a state of mind. Perhaps we should be utilising better the space that's in our box. Or maybe we should be exploring our box and finding the hidden corners, or how high the walls are. Can we come and go between our boxes? It might be simpler just to make some more space in the box we're in rather than moving out: do some house cleaning; open those windows!
Which brings me to the whole point of this blog (Yes! I hear you). How do we as teachers nurture creativity in our students while the arts' industries (particularly the music industry) reward conventionality?
The first step is to let students know that in Art, there is convention and there is unconvention / experimentation; both can exist in the same box. Simply being aware of the two and understanding which one your student is instinctively drawn to, may be a starting point.
Creativity can enhance convention, and convention can channel creativity. One can be the vehicle, the other the driver. The danger is in not knowing which one is which, while the joy is in being able to make the best of both and go places.
What does 'happy' sound like? How about 'sad'? Angry? Can you make 'angry' move to 'happy'?
Think of something interesting that happened in your day. Imagine that as a movie, then imagine what music soundtrack would best suit that experience. Play it.
Count to 7. See the numbers in your mind, and give them colours and sounds. Can you now count with colours? Sounds?
Think of your mobile phone number. Use the numbers as musical intervals. Can you compose a tune around your phone number?
Compose a simple melody using one key/scale – e.g. G Major. Now harmonise that melody using chords from a different key/scale, e.g. Bb Major. Use these chords for a new song.
Convention is that the I VI IV V chord progression is the most common in Popular music. In the key of C Major, this is C Am F G. This is the formula I alluded to in my previous post. Have you experimented with the permutations of this formula? There are 28! Can you find them? Remember, there are 7 chords in a Major key – use them all.
You have been given the job of composing a 1 minute film sound track: a cowboy rides off on his horse to shoot the bad dude who killed his wife. In the scene it is evening with storm clouds and lightning flashing over the desert. Would you write your piece around what the audience is seeing/hearing (galloping horse, storm, dramatic scenery)? Or about what the cowboy is feeling (grief, sadness, loss, revenge)? One piece would be clichéd and very 60s; one would be very now and 'arty'. Which is which?
Notice that these exercises encourage you to look at something conventional in an unconventional way. I hope that they might help you better think inside your box more effectively. The distance and shape of your horizons is your choice; just as the size and shape of your confinement is your choice.

Thinking of changing my car

Stuart Z 31/07/2018 13:36:45
I'm thinking of changing my SUV and getting a more "normal" car. I'm looking to having a more daily useable car as the SUV is a handful on longer journeys.
Question is which one?
I'm thinking Mondeo / Superb or similar.
There was a thread around 2009 but it has been deleted apparently.
What cars do you use?
Andy Blackburn 31/07/2018 13:56:00
BMW 3-series Touring (estate), which is fine - wanted a 5-series as it's a bit bigger but Mrs B made it quite clear that it was too big for her to drive.
Peter Christy 31/07/2018 14:10:24
I drive "re-cycled" cars!
Currently a SAAB 9000 Aero. Capable of seating four in opulent comfort, taking my largest models, able to see off smaller Porsches and most BMWs in a straight line, yet able to turn in well over 40 mpg on a longish run - though not all at the same time!
Nothing currently on the market comes even close!

My skoda rapid 'spaceback' has a stupid name but is large on the inside. With some careful stacking i can fit 3 large models in it along with all the gear needed for a weekend away at a show.
Tax is also cheap at 30 quid.
One of my clubmates has the octavia estate and is pleased with its model carrying abilities.
The skoda superb also has a stupid name but is bigger again while still not being massive

Consider a hybrid. My Toyota Auris Touring Sports hybrid ( auto) uses about half the petrol my old Toyota Carina auto did on the same journeys. The Touring sports version has about a foot more room in the boot than the saloon - useful for models.
Beware 1 year old cars of any make that have done about 13000 miles - very likely to be ex hire cars even if they seem to have belonged to the manufacturer - they were most likely leased by the hire firm from the manufacturer.. Buy new via Carwow at best price instead.

I've had my 10 years old 2.0 Tdci Mondeo Estate from new, now has 140000 miles on the clock, still looks smart both inside and out & never let me down, a few repair jobs in that time (aircon & timing belt change both inexpensive) but avoid Ford dealers and go to a good independent garage and you'll save a heap of cash. Massive boot, comfortable, drives as good as any similar vehicle IMHO. Most important, room for large models . Some really good examples of three and four years old cars are around for not a lot of money, but the very new ones worry the hell out of me because of the crazy amount of tech that they're loaded with these days (as with all makes). No plans to change mine unless it succumbs to some uneconomic repair, no point in throwing money away.
Bob Cotsford 31/07/2018 15:21:03
I've just sold my second Mondeo estate owing to becoming eligable for a Motability leased car. I'd second C8's recommendations. I'd go for a 3 year old simply because it's taken the worst of the depreciation hit but is still a modern spec. and has got past the teething trouble stage.

Whatever you go for, I'd recommend a good solid dealer service history is essential, if it's older than 3 years you can also check previous mot's online and as a final check, get your local garage to plug in the diagnostics and check for any error codes
Dave Cunnington 31/07/2018 16:44:43
I recently moved from an 8 yr old VW CC to a 2016 Passat saloon. Drop the rear seats and there's plenty of room for two Tiger Trainers plus all the stuff I need to take to the field
Blue motion 2litre T diesel 150PS provides all the power that I need, and 55 plus mpg on average, tax £30.
I did look at a Golf but with the rear seats down it's about 14 inches shorter in the luggage area than the Passat

Forget electronic diagnostics, I have a 1967 landrover 4 wheel drive and free road tax.
I used to have an 2006 Mondeo 2 litre, it was a hatchback but still had loads of space and the seating position was excellent. You could do worse if you can find a good one from a good garage with an up to date service history and a mileage reading that you can trust.
Martyn K 31/07/2018 17:02:18
I have a 3 yo Ford Modeo Supershed Titanium estate. Can't fault it except for the electronic hand brake which is so easy not to engage when you stop - even when you think you have activated it.
Tons of load space.
What used to be the modellers car was the Swedish Supershed (aka Volvo V70 Estate) which apparently go for silly money second hand.
The downer on these big estates is they are a butter to park and navigate around the narrow lanes in multi storey car parks
BackinBlack 31/07/2018 17:18:35
Mazda 6 Estate/Tourer. 2.2 diesel Sport - 150 or 175 PS. Loads of room, a delight to drive and better than 45 mpg. Mine have been utterly reliable and they're good value, particularly 2nd hand.
Only downside, it's big, as Martyn K points out, but as yet no one makes a car with Tardis characteristics. If you want room inside it stands to reason it'll be big on the outside.

Sadly there are not many "proper" estates out there these days - as SUVs replaced them in the popularity stakes most have gone all swoopy with lower rooflines and tapered back ends. Gone are the big square boxes of the 80s and 90s in the main.
The most practical that are left are the Passat, Mondeo, Octavia and Superb. Other than that you could go for an MPV (Zafira, S-Max, C-4 SpaceTourer etc), but when I looked at those I came to the conclusion they are more optimised for carrying people than stuff. Since we are never more than 4 up (two of those kids) I went with the estate for it's bike/model/general kids rubbish(!) carrying capacity. YMMV.
Edited By MattyB on 31/07/2018 17:40:51
Agree with you MattyB....cars are now a fashion statement rather than a practical carrying apparatus. Just look at the adverts on the telly . Time for a Transit?

Arranged by broad topic areas (general, politics and government, diplomacy, military, regional history, economics) the guide balances its focus by devoting 420 of its 947 main entries to the section on social, cultural, and intellectual history. Content coverage ends in 1975, but sources were published as late as 1993. Many main entries offer, besides lucid evaluative annotations, cross-references to "minor entries." There is an author-title-subject index. Entries are subdivided somewhat artificially in each subject category into sections entitled "library resources," "bibliographic sources," "information sources," and "biographical sources," and annotations spotlight strong points for the source, such as biographies, for particular groups of users. An essay prefacing each topic describes: publishing and research trends in that area; related associations and their publications; data sets such as census and those of Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, and the usefulness of indexes available in electronic format. Please note that a personal netLibrary account is required for off-campus access to the electronic version. [Choice]

The book is organized into sections providing chronological coverage of women in US history from Colonial times to the present, different ethnic groups, areas of accomplishment, historiography, the theory and methodology of women's history, and a brief section on women's history in the curriculum. Intended to be selective rather than comprehensive, the guide is a good starting point for research.

Q: How do i make a menu that's not toggled to be toggled by default I'm using the theme Pixeladmin (http://wrapbootstrap.com/preview/WB07403R9)
As you might see when you open the page the menu is open now I want it to be closed and I have no clue what to change.
I'd like to have it closed by default instead of open.
I'm graceful for your answers, thank you once again!

A: One hack would be to simulate a click to the toggle button, when the page loads.
$(function() {
    $("#main-menu-toggle").click();
});

A: You just need this!
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('body').addClass('mmc')
});

When I inspected the element and toggle happened body was the only change that took place by adding/removing class to it!! By default this class will not be there which says menu is open and if you add this mmc class to body menu will go to close state with animation!

Update
On more inspection I found out that the event for click is present in pixel-admin.min.js file and below is the code that gets executed on that event.
$("#main-menu-toggle").on("click",$.proxy(this.toggle,this))

I don't have much idea on $.proxy jquery function but below is what documentation says

Takes a function and returns a new one that will always have a
  particular context.

Explanation about the functionality of proxy is always welcome!
Source for $.proxy
Now your styles for .mmc class has been defined in pixel-admin.min.css and the minified version of file are always difficult to debug so I am not able to gather much information on that! If you get full version of above files then you can debug yourself to understand in a better way!

This paper does three things. First, based on a limited number of theoretically established dimensions, it proposes a new de facto indicator for the rule of law. It is the first such indicator to take the quality of legal norms explicitly into account. Second, using this indicator we shed new light on the relationship between the rule of law and the political system of a country. Presidential governments tend to score significantly lower on the rule of law indicator than parliamentary ones. Many presidential democracies are even outperformed by dictatorships. The observation that political systems hardly predetermine the rule of law level raises the question why the authority of law differs across societies in its capacity to constrain the behavior of public officials. Third, because of this question, we investigate the roots of the rule of law. As theory on this specific question is scarce and the rule of law is closely associated with income levels, we draw on a topical literature that deals with the fundamental causes of economic development. Our findings suggest that specific determinants of long-run development operate via the rule of law, whereas others are not related to the rule of law at all. Our empirical evidence does, however, support not only the "primacy of institutions" view, but also the important role that human capital, which European settlers brought to their colonies, played in historical economic development.

Dreams of terrifying animals. Last night it was flesh eating fish in a swimming pool. I have these dreams all the time – of bears, deep ocean creatures, rodents. I love sleeping but I'm not a great sleeper. I wake up a lot in the night, and usually these vivid dreams haunt me as I lay in bed, searching for a scrap of something more serene. I read once that the chemical in our brains that produces crazy dreams is the same that affects mood swings. That makes a lot of sense to me because I'm a particularly moody person.
On the topic of animals, I just started listening to this new podcast This Is Love (we do a lot of podcasts in the van on tour) and there was an episode about a woman who swam with a baby whale and helped it find its missing mother. I really love animals, even if they manifest as frightening in my dreams sometimes, and this story touched me so deeply. I was crying, which is not safe when you're driving! But I was so moved by this story of a love deeper than language. That's really what love is, actually. It doesn't need language and we are all capable of expressing and receiving it. The more I tour and lose mooring, and the more I find parts of myself disseminated and twisted and pulled through social media, the more I need to find grounding in the people I love and who love me. So the This is Love podcast is good medicine for that.
A new music video that I'm dreaming up with two of my close friends. When I'm writing songs, I tend to think very visually – I often imagine videos to songs even when there's no way I'll make a video for everything. I think I also just conceive of my life in general as cinematic – or at least I aspire to live a life that beautiful and filled with meaning. When I read Patti Smith's book M Train, I felt a connection because she also writes of every mundane moment in her life as if it's a mystical encounter. Why not experience your days as poetry in motion? So I'm excited to actually be developing one of these fantastical scenarios for a song off our upcoming record Lavender.
I would like to have Maggie Nelson join my team as my personal Conversationalist. Every topic she touches in her books is gold. She's not on social media, because she feels her ideas are too nuanced and complicated to express in a condensed sound byte. So I would get off stage and we would just chat and she would remind me of so many worlds beyond the music industry, beyond the internet, and my brain and heart would grow.

New Smyrna Beach Police Officer Wounded in Shooting.
Sun, Nov 22, 2020 at 3:40PM
An armed suspect who fled from Port Orange shot and wounded a New Smyrna Beach police officer before police and Volusia County Sheriff Deputies returned fire, killing the suspect.
The incident took place Saturday, around 4 p.m. near Nova Road and Spruce Creek Road, when a Port Orange Police Officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a driver in a green Lincoln sedan.
The driver took off fleeing the traffic stop, recklessly at a high-speed. Officers followed the car at a distance as it headed toward New Smyrna Beach.
Officers in New Smyrna Beach deployed stop strips in the road, in the area of Turnbull Street and Industrial Park Avenue, which caused the car to crash just outside a storage facility. The suspect bailed from the vehicle and started firing at police, the officer who deployed the stop strips was shot by the suspect, who was later shot and killed by return fire.
The names of the deceased, the officers, and the deputy involved in the incident will be released at a later date, according to police.
Bodycam footage of the incident will be made available in a future update, as the shooting is under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The officers and deputy-involved have been temporarily placed on administrative leave, as is standard.
Sheriff Mike Chitwood and New Smyrna Beach Police Chief Mike Coffin were each on the scene following the shooting and commended the bravery of the officers and deputies involved.
Sheriff Chitwood and NSB Police Chief Coffin held a joint press conference Sunday at the New Smyrna Beach Police Department Sunday addressing the incident.
"I have watched the body camera footage of the shooting and the events leading up to it, and soon you will see it too," Sheriff Chitwood said. "What you'll see is unflinching courage from the police and deputies who heard gunfire and ran toward it."

Toronto, ON (Jan. 11, 2016) – Tinubu Square, a leader in credit risk software solutions, has been credited with helping The Guarantee Company of North America (The Guarantee) to raise its profile in the highly competitive surety and specialist insurance market in Canada to the extent that it has doubled its premium base in just three years.
The Guarantee approached Tinubu with a view to differentiating itself in a marketplace dominated by very large players. Whilst credit insurance was already offered in the organisation's portfolio, it represented only a small part. The Guarantee, however, recognised that credit insurance could be a growth line item if it had the right tools in place to make expansion possible. It looked for a partner that could deliver the technology, and after considering a number of options, selected Tinubu Square.
Tinubu not only provided state-of-the-art technology to The Guarantee, it also understood the credit insurance industry, and this was significant.
"Meeting and working with the Tinubu Square team was the best thing that could have happened to us. We were not talking to software people unfamiliar with the industry, but a team which knew about credit insurance. It was the right combination that we were looking for." Rampersad continued.
The implementation of Tinubu Square's Credit Insurance Suite (CIS) solution was completed in just eight months, and provides The Guarantee with four modules: commercial underwriting, risk underwriting, claims management and administration.
The Guarantee directly links the doubling of its premium base to the implementation of Tinubu's CIS: "Being a small player, doubling our premium base in three years was exceptional in a very competitive environment and a shrinking market in Canada, and we were able to do this after Tinubu deployed its platform," Rampersad concluded.

Scotia Sea, waiting for fair winds to arrive to South Georgia coasts, while anticipating forecasted stormy winds
Last night the wind was gradually easing down to about 16-17kn from the WSW. On that conditions more canvas could be set. To start Middle Staysails and Outer Jib come up, and still in the darkness by the early morning, the higher sails on the rig are set as well, Upper Staysails and Royals. For a while Europa sails at 7 to 8kn on a 45º to 50º course with practically all her canvas catching wind, braced sharper on Port tack. After the clear and starry night, dawn welcome us with a beautiful sunrise and a relative warm morning, while the wind kept veering to NW-ly and NNW-ly, making for bracing all the way and sail Close Hauled, sailing our way Eastwards towards South Georgia. Just a couple of hours later, while breakfast was served, a squall can be seen looming in the horizon. On that cases some preparations must be done beforehand to face its associated stronger gusts. Soon we start striking some canvas starting with Upper Staysails and Royals. Dealing with variable shifting
winds it was not until after lunch that they are set once more, together with the Outer Jib. Now the fair breeze of 12 to 15kn blows from the NNE, while we start steering on a ESE-ly course, now towards the southern part of the island.
It has been decided to keep the ship on approximately this course for a few hours, not sailing straight to South Georgia's northern tip and its NE coasts, as forceful winds from the E and SE have been forecasted for the night. Staying out at sea it seems to be a safer and much sensible way to deal with the 45 to 50kn predicted, than fighting to try to stay at anchor at the exposed narrow bays and rocky beaches of South Georgia coasts. The approach to land and sailing strategy for the rest of the day and tomorrow will turn around this scheme. Slowing down on the dying winds we sail in the early afternoon at about 70nm from the island. And at some point, excited lookouts call for "land at sight", hard to believe at the beginning, but after a good check definitely the high mountain ranges of South Georgia appear behind the hazy horizon. A sight that soon disappeared as the skies became gradually more overcast and the good visibility was diminishing. With this first sight of land just after 6 days at sea since we left Elephant Island behind (despite this week it seems like a much longer time for some of us on board that still struggle to get used the watch systems and the seas and winds of the Southern Ocean), we can just imagine how it was in the distant past when exploration trips took even several years in a row to finish. And nobody more illustrious sailed those treacherous waters than Captain Cook in the late seventeen hundreds, while searching for the unknown and elusive Southern Continent. He didn't even caught a glimpse of it despite circumnavigating Antarctica and reaching high southern latitudes. But in 1775, on board the Resolution he was the first one describing South Georgia and setting foot on the island. Lands that he didn't really discovered as they had
been previously sighted at the distance by de la Roche one hundred years before. But Cook, on arrival, took possession of the new land for England, named it after King George III and started its exploration. During his survey he sailed southwards along its coasts, thinking they might be part of the mysterious Terra Australis Incognita, but eventually he reached a cape (named by him Cape Disappointment), where he could turn north, thus realizing it was an island. While exploring the treacherous waters of South Georgia, he created highly accurate charts of the island's coasts. All thanks to the new 18th century developments on sextant making but most importantly to create precise nautical clocks and chronometers that could keep time at sea with high accuracy. That is indispensable to precisely calculate the Longitude, and with this get a proper positioning. He had successfully tried them on a previous scientific expedition to the South Pacific on board the Endeavour, in a project with the idea of measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun. These observations were based on an idea developed by the British Astronomer Edmund Halley 100 years before, who created a method based on the planetary transits for that purpose. Cook was to observe the transit of Venus in front of the Sun. Since then, Halley's technique has been gradually upgraded by other astronomers, but still is a principal tool for measuring the dimensions of our Solar System. Furthermore, in Cook's ship-logs great quantities of whales and seals were reported, news that attracted like a magnet a sealing fleet looking for new hunting grounds. Once they arrived to the rich shores of South Georgia, less than 30 years were enough to decimate the seal populations to the brink of extinction. Then, the attention changed to the whales, starting a large-scale commercial business in 1904 when the first successful land based whaling station was built in South Georgia. In the following years many more followed. Now, in a similar fashion than in the old times of Captain Cook and others, we are trying to get to the island under sail, routing our course and adjusting sails and speed according to the weather forecasts that we can download. Prevision models that were not existent in the old times, when all was about good judgement of the wind shifts and conditions and changes in the barometric pressure. For that purpose, and advancing stormy seas for later on, several manoeuvres are performed in the afternoon. Before dinner we Wear ship to Starboard tack and start sailing in a more northerly course. It didn't take long to start reducing sail, in order to slow down and be prepared to face strong E-ly winds. Courses and Top Gallants are clued up, Middle Staysails are taken down, and Storm sails are bend on. By the night we slowly move at about 1kn, braced sharp on Starboard tack, under Top Sails, Spanker, Storm Dekzwabber, Aap, Storm Fore Top Mast Staysail and Inner Jib. Expectation hoovers above the Europa crew, while patiently waiting for the firsts gusts and thundery winds to come. Blows that when arrived, could be used to sail towards the North-eastern tip of South Georgia, where we plan to start our activities ashore. But before that, all mandatory procedures to land at South Georgia must be finished. Today was a day full of information from our guides. Besides repeating yesterday's talks on History of whaling, very relevant for South Georgia's history is highly based on whale hunting and the several whaling stations built in many of its bays, and a wrap up on Polar Ecosystems, also a South Georgia video on code of conduct for visitors was broadcasted. Biosecurity procedures were also finished and checked, to leave everything ready for our first
landfall as soon as we arrive and conditions allow. Proximity to the protected lands of South Georgia is also delated today by the sights of increasing number of Fur seals, prions and albatrosses
flying around. Likewise, the new status of the island as a whale sanctuary, after the grueling whaling times in the past, seem to be working well as many Humpback whales were spotted blowing in the
distance in the early morning, plus the very interesting sight of a Sperm whale in the afternoon. Their stocks have been severely depleted during the whaling era due to this specie's valuable oil and even greater value of thei spermaceti filling up their head melons and giving them their characteristic square head shape. They are cosmopolitan and widespread in the Southern Oceans, with non-breeding males periodically migrating to polar regions in the austral summer, returning north in winter, while females and cubs prefer subtropical and tropical waters. Lucky observation we had, for a few minutes we could enjoy the sight of the magnificent animal, until after a couple of deeper breaths he submerged into the depths, clearly showing his fluke. From then on, he can dive for an unpredictable amount of time. On this high latitude those males are not easy to spot, as after relative short periods of about 15 to 20 minutes at surface they can start diving, reaching very deep waters. Dives to over 3000m and 2 hours long have been recorded.

Carlo Ancelotti Believes Spain Should Emulate England And Stamp Out Hooliganism
Peter Quinn December 1, 2014 atletico madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, deportivo la coruna, La Liga, Leagues: EPL, Leagues: La Liga, Real Madrid No Comments
Speaking ahead of his side's Copa del Rey tie with Cornella tomorrow, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has condemned the events which took place prior to the match between Atletico Madrid and Deportivo de La Coruna on Sunday. The Italian conveyed his sympathy and anger at the violent acts which led to the death of a Deportivo fan near the Vicente Calderon yesterday.
Fighting between the Frente Atletico (ultras group of Atletico Madrid) and Riazor Blues (ultras group of Deportivo) took place near the stadium during the earlier hours on Sunday morning.
A 43-year-old man – who has been identified as Francisco Javier Romero Taboada – passed away at Madrid's Hospital Clinico San Carlos after being pulled out of the Manzanares river having suffered cardiac arrest, hypothermia and head injuries.
At this point, twenty-one people have been taken into custody and 100 troublemakers have been identified by Spanish police. According to data from the National Police, those arrested are member of the Frente Atletico, the Riazor Blues, Alkor Hooligans ('ultras' of AD Alcorcon) and two Bukaneros ('ultras' of Rayo Vallecano).
"This is a sad day and everyone in the football world hopes that something like this never happens again," Ancelotti said today. "It's important to condemn football-related violence. Everyone has to strive to make sure this doesn't happen again."
The manager then went on to say that Spain should follow the example of English football in order to stamp out hooliganism in the country.
"Having worked in England, I know from experience that they've gone to great lengths to stamp out this scourge. They used to have terrible problems with hooligans, but by all pulling together, they've managed to eradicate it. Spanish football needs to follow suit."
"There is no violence at stadiums in England. There is no police presence around the grounds before matches, you don't get abused, the fans don't fight, there are kids at matches…I was never once abused in England, whereas a fortnight ago a fan spent the whole game hurling abuse at me. There is a cultural side to it, too – we're Latin people. Still, and I speak now as an Italian, not a Spaniard, I believe we have a lot to improve on in terms of that culture."
"Real Madrid are a good example of a club that has worked hard to stamp out this scourge. Barcelona have done so in the past. All clubs have to do their bit. The same proves is underway in France. Radical groups must be removed from stadiums."
LFP president Javier Tebas had been concerned about potential problems between the rival ultras prior to yesterday's match. It has also come to light that the State Commission was made aware of "chatter" on social media in the days leading up to the match in Madrid. But officials ended up deeming the event as "low risk".
It is also understood that Riazor Blues were to be monitored by police as the group prepared to make their trip to Madrid. But the ultras deceived authorities by leaving from stations miles away from their normal departure point.
