Special Issue in Materials: Nanomaterials-Based Biosensor Platforms for Environmental and Biomedical Applications
Recently, the success of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-assisted miniaturized biomedical electronics has emerged as a potential analytical tool to manage a disease. As a recent example, diagnostics of viral infectious diseases such as COVID-19 infection diagnostics seems manageable due to the collective approach of artificial intelligence (AI for predictive analysis), IoMT, rapid testing systems, performance at point of care (POC), bioinformatics sharing along with rapid analytics, and timely therapy decision. An optimized combination of nano-enabled biosensing, POC testing, support of AI, and testing interfaced with IoMT have emerged and are very useful not for efficient diagnostics but also for making disease management possible at personalized level. In addition to the desired and controlled performance, these systems need significant improvement in terms of 1) developing a sensing prototype based on smart optoelectric nanosystems to achieve high sensitivity and low detection limit, and selectivity, 2) selecting a real sample source, which requires accurate diagnostics without interferents and loss in order to validate the sensor for clinical application in a scaled up setting.
Keeping the above into consideration, and with the aim of an intelligent approach toward a better health, this Special Issue will honor Prof. B.D. Malhotra, PhD, FNA, FNASc, to acknowledge his contribution in the field of Biosensors. Prof. Malhotra (Professor and Ex-Head, Department of Biotechnology, Delhi Technological University, India, who also served as Senior Scientist and founder of the Biomedical Instrumentation Section at National Physical Laboratory, India, and) is well known as the father of biosensors in India and a leading, accomplished scientist at the international level.

Chemically prepared PrAlO3 perovskite nanoparticles (NPs) were applied for the electrochemical detection of warfarin, which is commonly utilized for preventing blood clots, such as in deep vein thrombosis. PrAlO3 perovskite NPs were synthesized by the co-precipitation process at environmental conditions. Crystallographic structure, phase purity, morphological structure, thermal stability, optical properties, and electrochemical characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-visible analysis, and cyclic voltammetry techniques. TEM micrographs showed the highly crystalline structure, smooth surface, irregular shape, and size of nanocrystalline particles with an average size of 20–30 nm. Particularly crystalline perovskite NPs were pasted on glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) to electrochemically detect the warfarin contents in liquid samples. The fabricated electrode was electrochemically characterized by different parameters such as different potential, scan rates, same potential with seven consecutive cycles, time response, real-time sample analysis, and as a function of warfarin concentration in phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M PBS, pH 7.2). The electrochemical electrode was further verified with various potentials of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 150 mV/s, which exhibited sequential enhancements in the potential range. For detecting warfarin over a wide concentration range (19.5 µM–5000 µM), the detection devices offered good sensitivity and a low limit of detection (19.5 µM). The time-dependent influence was examined using chronoamperometry (perovskite NPs/GCE) in the absence and presence of warfarin at four distinct voltages of +0.05 to +1.2 V from 0 to 1000 s. The repeatability and reliability of the constructed electrochemical sensing electrode were also evaluated in terms of cyclic response for 30 days, demonstrating that it is substantially more reliable for a longer period. The fabricated perovskite NPs/GCE electrodes could be employed for the rapid identification of other drugs. Full article

Metabolites are the intermediatory products of metabolic processes catalyzed by numerous enzymes found inside the cells. Detecting clinically relevant metabolites is important to understand their physiological and biological functions along with the evolving medical diagnostics. Rapid advances in detecting the tiny metabolites such as biomarkers that signify disease hallmarks have an immense need for high-performance identifying techniques. Low concentrations are found in biological fluids because the metabolites are difficult to dissolve in an aqueous medium. Therefore, the selective and sensitive study of metabolites as biomarkers in biological fluids is problematic. The different non-electrochemical and conventional methods need a long time of analysis, long sampling, high maintenance costs, and costly instrumentation. Hence, employing electrochemical techniques in clinical examination could efficiently meet the requirements of fully automated, inexpensive, specific, and quick means of biomarker detection. The electrochemical methods are broadly utilized in several emerging and established technologies, and electrochemical biosensors are employed to detect different metabolites. This review describes the advancement in electrochemical sensors developed for clinically associated human metabolites, including glucose, lactose, uric acid, urea, cholesterol, etc., and gut metabolites such as TMAO, TMA, and indole derivatives. Different sensing techniques are evaluated for their potential to achieve relevant degrees of multiplexing, specificity, and sensitivity limits. Moreover, we have also focused on the opportunities and remaining challenges for integrating the electrochemical sensor into the point-of-care (POC) devices. Full article

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a modern approach based on computer science that develops programs and algorithms to make devices intelligent and efficient for performing tasks that usually require skilled human intelligence. AI involves various subsets, including machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), conventional neural networks, fuzzy logic, and speech recognition, with unique capabilities and functionalities that can improve the performances of modern medical sciences. Such intelligent systems simplify human intervention in clinical diagnosis, medical imaging, and decision-making ability. In the same era, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) emerges as a next-generation bio-analytical tool that combines network-linked biomedical devices with a software application for advancing human health. In this review, we discuss the importance of AI in improving the capabilities of IoMT and point-of-care (POC) devices used in advanced healthcare sectors such as cardiac measurement, cancer diagnosis, and diabetes management. The role of AI in supporting advanced robotic surgeries developed for advanced biomedical applications is also discussed in this article. The position and importance of AI in improving the functionality, detection accuracy, decision-making ability of IoMT devices, and evaluation of associated risks assessment is discussed carefully and critically in this review. This review also encompasses the technological and engineering challenges and prospects for AI-based cloud-integrated personalized IoMT devices for designing efficient POC biomedical systems suitable for next-generation intelligent healthcare.

Over the past-decade, agricultural products (such as vegetables and fruits) have been reported as the major vehicles for foodborne diseases, which are limiting food resources. The spread of infectious diseases due to foodborne pathogens poses a global threat to human health and the economy. The accurate and timely detection of infectious disease and of causative pathogens is crucial in the prevention and treatment of disease. Negligence in the detection of pathogenic substances can be catastrophic and lead to a pandemic. Despite the revolution in health diagnostics, much attention has been paid to the agro-food sector regarding the detection of food contaminants (such as pathogens). The conventional analytical techniques for pathogen detection are reliable and still in operation. However, laborious procedures and time-consuming detection via these approaches emphasize the need for simple, easy-to-use, and affordable detection techniques. The rapid detection of pathogens from food is essential to avoid the morbidity and mortality originating from the suboptimal nature of empiric pathogen treatment. This review critically discusses both the conventional and emerging bio-molecular approaches for pathogen detection in agro-food. Full article

Salmonellosis is a major cause of foodborne infections, caused by Salmonella, posing a major health risk. It possesses the ability to infiltrate the food supply chain at any point throughout the manufacturing, distribution, processing or quality control process. Salmonella infection has increased severely and requires effective and efficient methods for early monitoring and detection. Traditional methods, such as real-time polymerase chain reaction and culture plate, consume a lot of time and are labor-intensive. Therefore, new quick detection methods for on-field applications are urgently needed. Biosensors provide consumer-friendly approaches for quick on-field diagnoses. In the last few years, there has been a surge in research into the creation of reliable and advanced electrochemical sensors for the detection of Salmonella strains in food samples. Electrochemical sensors provide extensive accuracy and reproducible results. Herein, we present a comprehensive overview of electrochemical sensors for the detection of Salmonella by focusing on various mechanisms of electrochemical transducer. Further, we explain new-generation biosensors (microfluidics, CRISPR- and IOT-based) for point-of care applications. This review also highlights the limitations of developing biosensors in Salmonella detection and future possibilities. Full article

Better diagnostics are always essential for the treatment and prevention of a disease. Existing technologies for detecting infectious and non-infectious diseases are mostly tedious, expensive, and do not meet the World Health Organization's (WHO) ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free, and deliverable to end user) criteria. Hence, more accurate, sensitive, and faster diagnostic technologies that meet the ASSURED criteria are highly required for timely and evidenced-based treatment. Presently, the diagnostics industry is finding interest in microfluidics-based biosensors, as this integration comprises all qualities, such as reduction in the size of the equipment, rapid turnaround time, possibility of parallel multiple analysis or multiplexing, etc. Microfluidics deal with the manipulation/analysis of fluid within micrometer-sized channels. Biosensors comprise biomolecules immobilized on a physicochemical transducer for the detection of a specific analyte. In this review article, we provide an outline of the history of microfluidics, current practices in the selection of materials in microfluidics, and how and where microfluidics-based biosensors have been used for the diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious diseases. Our inclination in this review article is toward the employment of microfluidics-based biosensors for the improvement of already existing/traditional methods in order to reduce efforts without compromising the accuracy of the diagnostic test. This article also suggests the possible improvements required in microfluidic chip-based biosensors in order to meet the ASSURED criteria. Full article

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease in which the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) depletes due to the progressive loss of nigrostriatal neurons. Therefore, DA measurement might be a useful diagnostic tool for targeting the early stages of PD, as well as helping to optimize DA replacement therapy. Moreover, DA sensing appears to be a useful analytical tool in complex biological systems in PD studies. To support the feasibility of this concept, this mini-review explores the currently developed graphene-based biosensors dedicated to DA detection. We discuss various graphene modifications designed for high-performance DA sensing electrodes alongside their analytical performances and interference studies, which we listed based on their limit of detection in biological samples. Moreover, graphene-based biosensors for optical DA detection are also presented herein. Regarding clinical relevance, we explored the development trends of graphene-based electrochemical sensing of DA as they relate to point-of-care testing suitable for the site-of-location diagnostics needed for personalized PD management. In this field, the biosensors are developed into smartphone-connected systems for intelligent disease management. However, we highlighted that the focus should be on the clinical utility rather than analytical and technical performance. Full article

Ionic liquids are gaining high attention due to their extremely unique physiochemical properties and are being utilized in numerous applications in the field of electrochemistry and bio-nanotechnology. The excellent ionic conductivity and the wide electrochemical window open a new avenue in the construction of electrochemical devices. On the other hand, carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene (GR), graphene oxide (GO), carbon dots (CDs), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are highly utilized in electrochemical applications. Since they have a large surface area, high conductivity, stability, and functionality, they are promising in biosensor applications. Nevertheless, the combination of ionic liquids (ILs) and carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) results in the functional ILs-CNMs hybrid nanocomposites with considerably improved surface chemistry and electrochemical properties. Moreover, the high functionality and biocompatibility of ILs favor the high loading of biomolecules on the electrode surface. They extremely enhance the sensitivity of the biosensor that reaches the ability of ultra-low detection limit. This review aims to provide the studies of the synthesis, properties, and bonding of functional ILs-CNMs. Further, their electrochemical sensors and biosensor applications for the detection of numerous analytes are also discussed.

A: use
keyboardShouldPersistTaps='always'

on parent components to the TouchableOpacity inorder for child touchables to persist the taps.
for eg1
<Flatlist keyboardShouldPersistTaps='always'>

 <TouchableOpacity/>

</Flatlist>

eg2:
<TouchableOpacity keyboardShouldPersistTaps='always'>

 <TouchableOpacity></TouchableOpacity>

</TouchableOpacity>

A: This, most probably, is a conflict between react components. While updating to latest react might do the trick, but I would advice you to try and remove each and every component and see if it works.
Are you using PanResponder by any chance? This could also create a conflict. Thanks and good luck.

A: Try react-native 0.55.4 its a stable version and i mostely use in my personal projects.
and try to wrap your image inside a View like this\
<TouchableOpacity>
     <View>
         <Image />
     </View>
</TouchableOpacity>

A: You have 2 onPress nested functions, in <TouchableOpacity> and <Card>, which both are calling the same item, delete onPress function of <Card> component and it will mostly work

Fish shrink as oceans warm
Fish of all species look set to shrink in size by up to a fifth as the oceans continue to warm.
Warmer seas mean less-oxygenated water, which could have a significant effect on the size of fish, the University of British Columbia researchers say.
The team used computer modeling to study more than 600 species of fish from oceans around the world. And, they found, the fish's maximum body weight could fall by between 14 and 20 percent between the years 2000 and 2050, with the tropics most seriously affected.
"We were surprised to see such a large decrease in fish size," says William Cheung, an assistant professor at the UBC Fisheries Centre.
"Marine fish are generally known to respond to climate change through changing distribution and seasonality. But the unexpectedly big effect that climate change could have on body size suggests that we may be missing a big piece of the puzzle of understanding climate change effects in the ocean."
As fish grow, they need to be able to extract more oxygen from the water around them, says Daniel Pauly, principal investigator with UBC's Sea Around Us Project.
"It's a constant challenge for fish to get enough oxygen from water to grow, and the situation gets worse as fish get bigger," he says.
"A warmer and less-oxygenated ocean, as predicted under climate change, would make it more difficult for bigger fish to get enough oxygen, which means they will stop growing sooner."

Final approval of school district budgets in Collier and Lee counties for fiscal 2018-19 and the first Collier commission meeting since mid-July to handle regular county business highlight the week ahead in local government.
While much attention is focused this week on recovery since Hurricane Irma's landfall a year ago Monday, another important date is also on the calendar this week. Tuesday marks 17 years since the terror attacks on domestic soil. Agendas for Tuesday meetings of Collier commissioners and school board members importantly include acknowledgment of 9/11. This day in history is one that we can't allow to fade from remembrance.
School budgets
Collier School Board members will shift their focus Tuesday night during their regular monthly business meeting to hold a final public hearing on the coming year's $1.09 billion budget. The discussion is to begin at 5:45 p.m. in board chambers at the administrative center on Osceola Trail in North Naples.
A staff memo says the final proposed tax rate is 0.63 percent higher than the rolled-back rate, which is defined as the tax rate needed to raise the same amount of tax money for operations as was received in the prior year's budget. An example presented in a staff report shows the owner of a home assessed at about $400,000 with a homestead exemption would be paying about $15 more annually for school taxes if the proposed budget is approved.
At the first of the two state-required public hearings, the board split 3-2 on whether to further trim back the budget for capital-related projects. While that's a couple of dollars a year more taxpayers could keep, we'd contend the board majority is on a wiser course by eliminating debt within about seven years and banking money yearly toward the next high school to be needed early in the next decade.
Between a 2 p.m. nonvoting meeting and its 6 p.m. business meeting, Lee's School Board holds its budget approval meeting at 5:05 p.m. Tuesday at its administrative headquarters on Colonial Boulevard.
The Lee district's $1.48 billion budget would be supported by a total tax rate of $6.40 per $1,000 of taxable property that represents a 1.35 percent reduction from the rolled-back rate and compares with the $6.68 per $1,000 rate from this year, district records show.
At its afternoon meeting, the board is to be briefed on a committee that would be set up to monitor how a half-percent sales tax over 10 years is spent if voters support the referendum on Nov. 6. An update on construction projects also is planned.
Collier meetings
When Collier commissioners meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday in chambers at the corner of Airport-Pulling Road and U.S. 41 East, they'll consider moving forward with soliciting up to $70 million of bonds that would be used to build an amateur sports complex near Collier Boulevard and Interstate 75.
Commissioners previously authorized a 1 percent increase in the bed tax on hotel rooms and short-term rentals to 5 percent to commit about $3.75 million yearly toward the bonds. The sports complex would lure national tournaments to the venue, as well as provide more fields for play by local athletes.
In Naples, the City Council has a special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Friday at City Hall on Eighth Street South to interview an impressive slate of five candidates for city manager to replace retiring Bill Moss. Friday's meeting follows a 6 p.m. Wednesday public reception for the candidates at Sugden Community Theatre and a day of one-on-one interviews with individual council members Thursday.

There's nothing like testing the waters, head first. No sooner than Sam Harrell is welcomed back into the fold, his team is diving into the fray with perhaps the best team in District 8-5A right off the bat. Ennis and Kaufman both conquered their respective district championship a year ago, will face off against each other Friday in the first of an eight-game district season. Each has Lions for a mascot, though the likely early favorite, based on incumbent starters returning to action could easily be Kaufman.


Honey Toffee Apples – London Honey Co.
Halloween and Bonfire Night call for sweet treats and foods you can eat with your hands, perhaps even with your winter gloves on! The crunch of a toffee apple is a nostalgic autumnal classic and you're still getting one of your five a day.
Adding honey to the toffee adds a depth of flavour to it, especially when using heather honey. Whilst the toffee is still sticky there is the option of rolling the apples in chopped nuts or sprinkles, we chose a sprinkle of edible gold stars.
1.Make sure your apples are clean and dry. If you've bought your apples from the shop they may have edible wax on the skin to help preserve them, to help the toffee stick you can remove the wax coating by placing them briefly in boiling water. Once your apples are dry, twist the stalks off and push your skewer into the middle of the apple. We suggest using lollypop sticks or wooden kebab sticks.
3. Once the toffee is ready, coat each apple in the hot toffee until covered, twisting to get rid of the drips. Place on the baking paper to set. If the toffee starts getting too thick you will need to heat it up a little again. Once the toffee on the apples is properly cooled the apples are ready to eat. Store the toffee apples in a dry place or the toffee will soften. Best made at most a few days before eating otherwise the toffee can get soft.

How simple is that! When Pope Francis spoke these words he was talking about our work as disciples of Jesus. He went on to say, "If we are full of Christian joy then we should let our faces know it." I love that image. So many times I muddle my way through the day trying to be a good disciple and I get tangled up in the "work" of it all and miss the "joy" of it all!
Nobody will ever be inspired by a grump! Who would ever want to be a disciple if all they ever hear is how much work it is, how many committees you have to serve on and how much time it's going to take. If that's all I knew of Jesus and discipleship I would probably run as fast as I could in the opposite direction. Our job as disciples is to bring people to Christ not scare them away or point out how hard we work to be one. People want to be drawn to Christ not dragged so I suppose it is a good idea every now and again to see if our attitude is one that is drawing, dragging or scaring away. I guess the even bigger question to ask myself is; would I want to follow me and get involved?
Pope Francis is an inspiration to all Christians because he is a living, breathing demonstration of joy, love, kindness and humility found only in the heart of a servant of the Lord. He makes us want to follow! I was reminded of a story I heard about a little girl who got in line and followed the kids who were leaving school to go to Religious Ed. A few weeks later the teacher realized the little girl wasn't Catholic and asked her why she was going along each week. Her response was awesome. She smiled at the teacher and said, "I just wanted to go where they were going and learn what they were learning because when they come back to school they are so happy!" Out of the mouths of babes! It made me stop and ask myself, when was the last time I came out of church and others could see the joy and the happiness bubblin out of me? Jesus hasn't changed…he is and was and always will be so that led me to the conclusion that it was me who wasn't always bringing my joy; not him!
It doesn't matter what the sermon is like or the music is like or the way the sanctuary is decorated. The joy of Jesus and discipleship lies in the love he has for us, the mercy he shows us and the grace he freely gives us. I just need to act like it! So…pew potatoes unite…let's get out there and spread the word and bring our joy!
Perfect reflection for our women's meeting tonight!
Three cheers for JOY. You should name your website Joy something or other. Oh wait ... you did. THANKS.

Bentley's all-new Grand Tourer: The Continental GT
on September 4, 2017 at 10:44 am
Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Britain, the new third-generation Bentley Continental GT combines spirited, focused performance with handcrafted luxury and cutting-edge technology, to create the finest Grand Tourer ever produced.
At the heart of the new Continental GT sits an all-new, enhanced version of Bentley's renowned 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 TSI engine, mated, for the first time, to a dual-clutch eight-speed transmission, for faster, more efficient gear changes.
A new, technically advanced, adaptive chassis uses Bentley's intelligent 48-volt Dynamic Ride System to ensure a responsive ride and exceptional handling and refinement in all road conditions. The new system controls ride comfort and lateral roll, cushioning passengers from excessive movement as well as making the car feel effortlessly precise.
The muscular exterior design, created using revolutionary technology, results in a lightweight, yet stiff, body. The engine is positioned further back to improve weight distribution, resulting in driver-focused, dynamic performance.
Offering four seats and improved luggage capacity for genuine real-world usability, the new Bentley Continental GT's luxurious cabin is packed with exquisite details such as a new 'diamond in diamond' leather design. In addition, significant work has gone into harmonising the extensive portfolio of 15 colours across hides and carpets.
The new Continental GT also showcases major evolutions in Bentley's unique application of technology. An advanced, fully digital, driver-focused instrument panel and Bentley Rotating Display for the driver are among the suite of innovations. The latter features an impressive 12.3" touchscreen housed in a three-sided unit, which revolves the veneer to reveal the touchscreen as well as three elegant analogue dials.
The interior design of the Continental GT is tailored specifically to the modern luxury customer, with unrivalled attention to detail that creates an effortless ownership experience. The cabin seamlessly integrates cutting-edge onboard technology with the finest handcrafted natural materials. The result is an exquisite, harmonised, connected and luxurious space.
The new Continental GT will make its global debut at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show between 12 and 24 September, 2017.

2022: A disastrous year for football
It's been another fault-free 12 months for the football authorities, and no key administrators have lost their jobs. The international event took place despite preparations to provide body counts in the thousands, according to independent sources.
All this suggests that FIFA, the governing body of world football, its European counterpart UEFA, the African Commonwealth CAF, and perhaps all other organizations that run our game, serve in whose interests. You will wonder if you are.
Arguably, it's not the fans, it's not the average hardworking human being who delivers a global spectacle that makes men like FIFA president Gianni Infantino rich and famous.
The year started with a bang in Cameroon. The African Cup of Nations' newest stadium was the site of an accident in which eight people were killed and 38 injured on 24 January.
Initially, the press explained that the cause was the stampede. Because even if you don't know what people are running from, it's easiest to conclude if people were seen running from a distance.
Only a fair and thorough investigation revealed what really happened.
Two months before the tournament, the African Football Confederation (CAF) had doubts about the venue, the 60,000-capacity Orembe Stadium in Yaoundé. General Secretary Beron Mosengo Omba sent a letter to Cameroon's Minister of Sports, Narcisse Muer his duo, who also registered "serious concerns about the organization of the tournament".
The duo later spoke of a "deplorable incident" in which a fan died "because of his passion for football". According to Combi, it was "a fatal incident caused by the large and slow influx of supporters into the stadium".
However, Kombi did not mention the warning from Cameroon.
Eight weeks ago, CAF became concerned about the speed of development at the stadium and asked Kombi and the venue's construction company to share their work plans. Orembe didn't even have a manager at that point.
As of just 54 days before the opening ceremony, the CAF was still unhappy with what it saw, citing perimeter fences as one of several outstanding issues.
Delivery was promised by November 30th last year, in preparation for handover to CAF four days later, but the new date for the 'exterior' competition has been set for a week later.
According to CAF, the handover failed due to a "technical" hitch. A day after the deadline, at least one billboard was erected outside the stadium by Canadian construction company McGill, and fined 10 million Central African CFA francs (£12,669 at the time) for taking pictures without taking pictures. People were threatened with having their mobile phones and cameras confiscated. permission.
Even on December 20, CAF president and South African mining billionaire Patrice Motsepe was still concerned. After conducting his own research, he cited vague "unresolved issues" and nevertheless demanded that "there must be a kickoff" by the opening day of the tournament on January 9. did.
Motsepe suggests the omicron variant of COVID-19 has put more pressure on workers ahead of the start of the tournament, which was postponed from a year earlier due to the pandemic, ensuring lower safety standards in Cameroon. acknowledged his responsibility. Rest of the World".
Other causes of the disruption were not mentioned, such as workers missing paydays and leaving in the aftermath of the disaster. This prevented the project from delaying any further delays.

For the organizers, the show had to go on, and it was up to the survivors to spell out the ramifications of all this.
Witnesses said there was indeed a large crowd outside the perimeter of the stadium before the round of 16 match between the host nation and Comoros, but this was due to build-up caused by poor organisation. There was a similar situation in Cameroon's previous group stage match, but no lesson was learned.
Once the crowd passed the first checkpoint, minimal stewards ushered hundreds, possibly thousands, of fans to the same gates. This buckled under the pressure of the people. There was no funneling system in place and few signposts directing supporters elsewhere.
Four months later, a comparable sequence of events may have led to similar results in Paris.
Preparations for the Champions League final were rushed again after the host city was changed from St. Petersburg after Russia invaded Ukraine in February.
On May 28, in the executive lounge of the alternative venue, the Stade de France, Motsepe's UEFA counterpart Alexander Ceferin told Liverpool Metro mayor Steve Rotherham that UEFA had just three staff members. He said he "killed himself" to reach the final on the moon.
Rothelam had been robbed outside the ground where there had been riots.
As in Yaounde, thousands of people were waiting to enter. As with Yaounde, everyone was at the same place and on time. Like Yaounde, it lacked signposts and stewardship. As was the case with Yaoundé, fans were the first to take the blame before reality came to light.
It's a miracle that no one died in north Paris that day, but it was only the collective memory of Liverpool supporters that saved their lives.
Part of the stadium's southwestern row was held in Hillsboro in 1989, when 97 supporters died due to similar organizational problems. Therefore, the understanding of warning signals was passed down from generation to generation.
Still, some things are beyond the control of a knowledgeable person, and the night is even worse.
Police and local youth engaged in pitched battles around the venue's inner and outer concourses as UEFA attempted to falsely accuse late-arriving supporters by projecting a message onto the stadium's video screens. The fans were caught up in this. Many were beaten by both locals and police, and pepper spray and tear gas were also used.
Meanwhile, clashes at the three entry gates escalated as the stewards refused to let anyone in. It was later revealed that another major problem was the failure of UEFA's online ticketing system, which did not work that day.
After the match, the fans were mobbed by Saint-Denis locals as they exited the stadium. At this point there was no offer of security from the police who just stood and watched. One eyewitness compared the scene to the Purge film series.
Fatalities (number? No. But many were injured and some are still recovering as 2022 turns into 2023.
UEFA quickly realized that the lie was not getting across due to the sheer amount of contradictory evidence recorded on mobile phones, but there has been no apology from the organization for over a week and heavy pressure from sponsors. Only came after, as Real Madrid, who eventually admitted their fans, also had serious problems accessing the Stade de France.
It turns out that Ceferin had appointed an old friend to lead a failed security operation involving riot police acting on outdated information.
Besides being a UEFA leader, there is a direct link between Ceferin and what happened in Paris. Perhaps his near death is not enough to make him question whether he should continue in his position, as he speaks little of it, and this easily depends on his conscience. I don't know if I will.

Will UEFA's independent report due in the new year encourage him to move forward?
Maybe even taking a more public position wouldn't make any real difference.
Front-up was Infantino's approach to his FIFA equivalent. He thought it appropriate to high-five the president of his league, Indonesian football, grinning during his October charity match at the site of the world's worst stadium disaster. Of the 133 victims, they died from injuries sustained in another crash.
This happened when fans stormed the pitch at the end of a match between local leagues Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya.
Invasions are not an uncommon sight in Indonesia, but in this case the police did not wait for the mood to build. Tear gas inside stadiums is prohibited by FIFA, but police that day sent tear gas onto the terraces where women and children sat patiently waiting to go home. There was not enough air and many fled in the same direction, but the exit gate there was still closed and the pressure build-up led to another deadly scene.
Infantino will of course defend Qatar's claims amid criticism of Qatar's (where he owns the property) human rights issues, attitudes towards the LGBTQ community and treatment of migrant workers ahead of the World Cup. .
According to Infantino, the West shouldn't be lecturing on the difference between right and wrong given the cures it has provided to other regions for hundreds of years. Where was the anger at Russia and China at the 2008 Summer Olympics and this year's Winter Olympics?
The main difference is the stadium where the workers died. So Infantino's World Cup and by definition FIFA are related to the deaths of those who helped make it all possible.
Even when FIFA has time to prepare tournaments, it's wrong. Perhaps his $7.5bn (£6.2bn) the organization will get from Qatar in 2022 will ease any sense of embarrassment.
For the time being, it does not appear that much, if any, of that money will flow to migrant workers and their families because of the abuses they suffered in Qatar. Last month, human rights groups argued that FIFA was failing in its responsibilities by refusing to engage in any meaningful reparations scheme.

In fact, it is an acknowledgment of failure from an organization that has profited from suffering, an organization that has experienced steroid enrichment from its quest to "grow its game."
It is through this quest that FIFA, UEFA and CAF have come to excuse themselves. Whenever bad things happen at a football match, it's not fan misbehavior that caused it, as in the past (sponsors wouldn't like that). However, due to the popularity of the sport, there are a large number of people who want to go there.
If that's true, Infantino, Ceferin and Motsepe are also to blame.
Creating a responsive and safe environment doesn't seem like a priority at all for those who built it, those who see it all the time, and even those who use it for the first time.

From Stallions striker to Goan gaffer
Published : Mar 9, 2019, 1:05 am IST
Updated : Mar 9, 2019, 1:05 am IST
Jesus Tato didn't shine for Pune City as a striker but he is making mark as FC Goa's assistant coach.
Jesus Rodriguez Tato
Jesus Rodriguez Tato represented FC Pune City in the third edition of Indian Super League. He didn't had a great outing in terms of scoring goals and the club finished in the bottom half.
Stallions' Spanish striker made 10 appearances for them scoring just once in the shorter league. Pune City fans expected more goals from him considering his past exploits in Spain but he didn't have best of seasons.
But after a year break, he returned to India in this edition as assistant coach of FC Goa. In his first major assignment as coach he has been overlooking junior Goa FC team and assisting head coach Sergio Lobera in the senior team.
"The experience with Pune City was great as a player. I was always thinking of coming back (to India). When the opportunity came I decided to accept it. My duties are other but I am enjoying the experience, the league and the culture here," Tato said.
Now, the league is for relatively longer period but Tato has done well to convey Lobera's philosophy of free flowing football to the players.
"We always respect the quality of the opponents but players have been loyal to our style and it has worked for us so far," Tato added.
The 35-year-old played competitive football in the Spanish second division, Morocco and in India . He was appointed as the assistant manager of FC Goa in June. Known for playing possession-based football, it came as no surprise when FC Goa decided to add more Spanish flavour to their family.
A former FC Barcelona youth player, Tato played under current FC Goa head coach in Morocco and has a good rapport with the Spaniard.
Lobera and their Spanish striker Coro had done wonders together for FC Goa last season but they couldn't qualify for the final. With Tato for support this year the Gaurs have addressed defensive vows and look favourites against Mumbai City FC in the two-leg semi-final, first of which will be played at Mumbai Football Arena on Saturday.
"I wasn't here last year and I don't know what was team's approach. I am sure players have now one more year of experience and we are approaching the semi-final as one step forward for the final. Mumbai City is a quality side and we have to maintain intensity for the 180 minutes in the two-leg semi-final," Tato said.

This Enchanted Witch and Crystal Ball original production concept art by John Alvin was created as part of working on the Enchanted movie campaign.
ABOUT JOHN ALVIN:
"Creating the promise of a great experience" is how John Alvin described his role as the preeminent designer and illustrator of cinema art in the entertainment industry. In a business where you are only as good as your last job, Alvin was diverse enough in style and creative invention to be one of the ultimate go-to artist for movie posters in Hollywood for over two decades. He designed and illustrated some of the world's most widely recognizable movie art. From E.T. to Blade Runner, to Blazing Saddles and The Lion King, John Alvin is responsible for many of your favorite movie campaign images...
Alvin's first official movie art campaign was the poster for Blazing Saddles, directed by Mel Brooks, in 1974. Alvin, who was working as an animator at an animation studio at the time, was invited to work on the Blazing Saddles poster by a friend. Alvin took an unusual path when designing the movie poster. He designed a serious movie poster, which incorporated unusual and quirky elements from the film. For example, in the poster, Alvin depicted Mel Brooks, who plays a Yiddish-speaking Native American chief in the film, wearing a headdress inscribed with the phrase, Kosher for Passover. The joke had been suggested by Alvin's wife, Andrea.
Alvin's work on Blazing Saddles was liked by Mel Brooks, as well as by others in the industry. He went on to work on a number of Brooks' later films, including Young Frankenstein, which was also released in 1974.
Another of Alvin's iconic posters was his work for Steven Spielberg's 1982 film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. It showed E.T.'s finger touching the finger of his human friend, Elliott, finger tip to finger tip. The fingers create a glow where they touch. The idea for the poster was reportedly suggested by Spielberg, and was inspired by Michelangelo's painting, The Creation of Adam. Alvin used his daughter as the human hand model for the poster.
Alvin created artwork for more than 135 film campaigns over the span of three decades. His work for such film studios as New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Disney Studios and Lucasfilm Ltd., included Blade Runner, Cocoon, The Lost Boys, Predator, The Princess Bride, Gremlins, The Goonies, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Jurassic Park. He also created the anniversary posters and other artwork for the 30th anniversary Star Wars Celebration. In later years he created posters for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Harry Potter film series and Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean films. According to John Sabel, an advertising executive at Walt Disney Pictures who often worked with Alvin, "There was a reason why The Lion King did the numbers that it did... There was a reason why 'Hunchback [of Notre Dame]' became a big success. It's because of the images that were produced, and a lot of those were John Alvin's paintings."

A showcase of today's hottest must-haves and fashion advice from our stylists.
Antonin Tron on Why He is Here: An Interview by Anja Aronowsky Cronberg
I lock my bike to his and step into his studio. I say "bonjour" to his mom, to his partner, and to a few young women focusing on something important on a screen. He brings me coffee – we have milk! – and we sit down in his tiny office to talk. When I leave, I try to take everything in with my eyes: the clothes on racks and in piles, the Alaïa dress on a mannequin, the images of past collections pinned to a wall, and the focus and friendliness that seems a common trait of everyone who works here.
For me "sustainability" is about how you act on every level. It's about respecting everyone you work with—from the person who picks the fibres to the people in your office. I don't believe that fashion is "bad." It's complex. Real sustainability is about how you practise it in a respectful way and on a human scale. We keep things local by working with a factory in France. I'm not saying that Atlein is succeeding, but we are trying. It's complicated and I'm very conflicted, like most people today. I don't think the answer is to feel guilty about loving fashion. We have amazing know-how and a history of fashion in Europe that needs to be safeguarded, but the challenge is to figure out how to do that in a less destructive way. Moving forward isn't about saying, "I'm right and you're wrong," and I don't believe in pointing fingers at anyone. I don't think that we solve anything by saying only high fashion is good and everything else is crap. I'm aware that I'm making expensive dresses. So yes, I'm conflicted. I don't have the answer. I try to find a way to work that's respectful to people and to the environment. That's all we can do: try, die trying.
In many ways, I have my mom to thank for my environmental consciousness. I remember sweltering hot summers in the car where she'd roll down the windows and tell us that she wasn't putting the air con on because she was thinking about our future. And this was in the nineties, you know. People didn't talk about the environment then the way we do today. I've always felt close to nature, even though I grew up in Paris. I surf. Not as much as I'd like to, but still. I've always felt that we're all connected, all one. When I named my company, I chose "Atlein" as a nod to the Atlantic Ocean. I've always been super interested in biology and zoology. I don't travel as much because I'm mindful of the effect it has on the environment, but I used to travel a lot. I have a big passion for primates, especially big apes. I've been to conservation centres all over to see mountain gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees: Sumatra, Laos, Uganda, Costa Rica. Seeing a mountain gorilla is like seeing the god of the mountains: it's almost mystical. There is so much of us in them, and yet we're so different.
Learning who to listen to is one of the hardest things, in work and in life. For me, I get clarity when I surf. Surfing is a great analogy for life actually. You have to pay attention to how the wind is blowing, you have to analyze the sea in order to catch the best wave. When it comes, you need to be prepared to grab it. You need to intuit: this is going to be the good ride. I'm still learning. Atlein is such a personal project. Everything I have goes into the company: all my time and every cent I make. My mom, my brother, my boyfriend—they all work with me. The name reflects what I care about the most. It couldn't be more intimate, but then again, I wouldn't know how to do it any other way.
We forget that people working in the shadows can have the biggest impact. Do you know the designer Patrick van Ommeslaeghe? He's not famous, but he is so important. He worked at Jil Sander with Raf Simons and at Loewe too. Maybe his name won't be in books, but to me he's one of the most important designers of the last decades. His dresses are on every mood board. You don't have to make millions or be known by everybody to be important or have a lasting impact, and now that fashion is so intertwined with fame, we lose sight of that sometimes. I do the same. I get consumed by the fact that we have only 10,000 followers on Instagram. I know it's silly, but it can keep me awake at night. I'm not going to lie—it's the way recognition is shown today. I hate how everything is about ratings, but I also realize that I need to partake in that culture. Instagram can give you amazing access too of course; it's brought us lots of good things. I've met amazing clients that way: one invited us to do a trunk show at her home in America, and it was fantastic.
People expect clarity of vision from a designer; a lot of people come to fashion for reassurance. Sometimes people just don't know what they want so the role of the designer is to say, "This is what's good for you." But I'm a very intuitive designer. I don't always know why I do what I do, so when people rush up to me after the show to get my references, I don't always know what to say. I don't work with grand concepts. I'm interested in cutting, sewing, draping, structure, and silhouette. I'm a dress maker. I'm inspired by gestures and movement. The way a woman zips up the back of her dress, the way she rides a bicycle, or talks, or smokes. It takes time for me to digest and conceptualize what I've done. But as a designer, you get that one moment—the show—which is over in fifteen minutes, and then you have another ten minutes to explain yourself to journalists afterwards. The idea of success in fashion today doesn't always allow for someone like me: I doubt a lot, I'm not always sure. It's normal; I think most people are like that. But the system isn't set up to integrate it.
Why am I here? That's such an important question. It helps us clarify why we do what we do. I remember this summer, I was on a bridge in Paris as part of an environmental protest and the police were gassing us and I was scared. I thought to myself: I'm a fashion designer, why am I here? And sometimes when things are tough at Atlein I think I should've stayed working at some big fashion house, become the head of design somewhere, made a lot of money and been able to go on holidays. Why am I here? But no. The choices I've made for myself are the right ones. This is what I have to do. I can't really explain it. But asking myself that question again and again helps me define who I am. It's the point of creation, when all the possibilities open to you start to vibrate and you actively choose where to go, and what to make. Doubt is essential to creativity.
