Bullying is when a person or group repeatedly tries to harm someone who is weaker. Sometimes it involves direct attacks such as hitting, name calling, teasing or taunting. Sometimes it is indirect, such as spreading rumors or trying to make others reject someone.
Bullying is widespread in American schools, with more than 16 percent of U.S. school children saying they had been bullied by other students during the current term, according to a survey funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The study appears in the April 25, 2001, Journal of the American Medical Association.
Overall, 10 percent of children said they had been bullied by other students, but had not bullied others. Another 6 percent said that they had both been bullied themselves and had bullied other children. Another 13 percent of students said they had bullied other students, but had not been bullied themselves. "Being bullied is not just an unpleasant rite of passage through childhood," said Duane Alexander, M.D., director of the NICHD. "It's a public health problem that merits attention. People who were bullied as children are more likely to suffer from depression and low self esteem, well into adulthood, and the bullies themselves are more likely to engage in criminal behavior later in life." The NICHD researchers surveyed 15,686 students in grades six-through-10, in public, parochial, and other private schools throughout the U.S. The nationally representative survey was part of the U.S. contribution to the World Health Organization's Health Behavior in School Children survey, an international effort in which many countries surveyed school-age children on a broad spectrum of health-related behaviors. For this study, researchers defined bullying as a type of behavior intended to harm or disturb the victim, explained the study's first author, Tonja R. Nansel, Ph.D.
This behavior occurs repeatedly over time and involves an imbalance of power, with the more powerful person or group attacking the less powerful one, Dr. Nansel added. Bullying may be physical, involving hitting or otherwise attacking the other person; verbal, involving name-calling or threats; or psychological, involving spreading rumors or excluding a person. The children were asked to complete a questionnaire during a class period that asked how often they either bullied other students, or were the target of bullying behavior. A total of 10.6 percent of the children replied that they had "sometimes" bullied other children, a response category defined as "moderate" bullying. An additional 8.8 percent said they had bullied others once a week or more, defined as "frequent "bullying. Similarly, 8.5 percent said they had been targets of moderate bullying, and 8.4 percent said they were bullied frequently.
Out of all the students, 13 percent said they had engaged in moderate or frequent bullying of others, while10.6 percent said they had been bullied either moderately or frequently. Some students — 6.3 percent — had both bullied others and been bullied themselves. In all, 29 percent of the students who responded to the survey had been involved in some aspect of bullying, either as a bully, as the target of bullying, or both. Bullying occurred most frequently in sixth through eighth grade, with little variation between urban, suburban, town, and rural areas; suburban youth were 2-3 percent less likely to bully others. Males were both more likely to bully others and more likely to be victims of bullying than were females. In addition, males were more likely to say they had been bullied physically (being hit, slapped, or pushed), while females more frequently said they were bullied verbally and psychologically (through sexual comments or rumors). Regarding verbal bullying, bullies were less likely to make derogatory statements about other students' religion or race. "There seem to be stronger social norms against making these kinds of statements than against belittling someone about their appearance or behavior,"
Dr. Nansel said. Both bullies and those on the receiving end of bullying were more likely to have difficulty adjusting to their environment both socially and psychologically. Students who were bullied reported having greater difficulty making friends and poorer relationships with their classmates. They were also much more likely than other students to report feelings of loneliness. "It's likely that kids who are socially isolated and have trouble making friends are more likely to be targets of bullying," Dr. Nansel said. "In turn, other kids may avoid children who are bullied, for fear of being bullied themselves." The study authors also reported that bullies were more likely to be involved in other problem behaviors, such as smoking and drinking alcohol, and to do more poorly academically. However, youth who were both bullies and recipients of bullying tended to fare the most poorly of all, experiencing social isolation, as well as doing poorly in school and engaging in problem behaviors, like smoking and drinking. "Unfortunately, we don't know much about this group,"
Dr. Nansel said. "We need to learn more about them to provide them with the help they need." She added that it is not known whether these children are first bullied by others and then imitate the bullying behavior they experienced, or if they are bullies who were later retaliated against. The study's authors concluded that the prevalence of bullying in U.S. schools suggests a need for more research to understand, and devise ways to intervene against, bullying. The authors noted that researchers in Norway and England have shown that school intervention programs can be successful. These programs focused on increasing awareness of bullying, increasing teacher and parent supervision, establishing clear rules prohibiting bullying, and providing support and protection for those bullied.
The NICHD is part of the National Institutes of Health, the biomedical research arm of the federal government. The Institute sponsors research on development before and after birth; maternal, child, and family health; reproductive biology and population issues; and medical rehabilitation. NICHD publications, as well as information about the Institute, are available from the NICHD Web site, http://www.nichd.nih.gov, or from the NICHD Clearinghouse, 1-800-370-2943; e-mail NICHDClearinghouse@mail.nih.gov.
Scientists have found that children that have families that are poorer than most have a higher chance of being bullied.
According to research, children who attend school focus more on those who they know they can make fun of. This usually makes students who are teased during their early school years more like to stay being victimized even up to their teenage years.
Experts have cautioned that children who are constantly teased have a higher rate of developing depression and have a sense of low self-esteem, which can spiral into health problems and substance abuse.
In order to identify which younger students were more likely to be bullied by their peers, the researchers followed over 1,500 children that were born in the later years of the 90?s (1997-1998).
The researchers first examined children that were born less than six months old and would then assess these children every year until they were less than 8 years old.
During every assessment the children, the teachers, and the parents of the children would be asked information about bullying in the child?s life.
The results indicated that the children who were more aggressive during their infant years had a higher chance of becoming victims of being bullied compared to their other classmates.
On the other hand, the children who would internalize some of their problems did show sadness or signs of anxiety but they did not undergo the same levels of abuse.
The bullying would become rooted amongst the victims, and this would carry on into their adolescent years.
The research also noted that many of the children that were victimized noted that they were bullied or singled out by their teacher.
The study also found that less than 5% of the children were suffering from sever physical or verbal bullying.
It was suggested that the parents should be instructed how to deal with aggressive infants and that time nor maturity will decreases the intensities of bullying.

Though the ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto, may conjure up images of ageless buildings that are not wheelchair accessible. However, Kyoto has been working very hard to make tourist sites in the city available to all visitors. Josh from Accessible Japan took a few days off to visit the ancient capital.
My goal this trip was to try out some accessible hotels, and visit some tourist sites. A few Accessible Japan readers have volunteered to share their experiences about Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Arashiyama, etc. So I tried to choose some sites that they hadn't visited.
While Shinkansen, or bullet train, tickets can be reserved as far as a month in advance, I wanted to try to emulate the experience of a traveler with a JR Rail Pass and an unpredictable schedule. So, when I got on the train to Tokyo station, I asked the station staff to take me to the Midori no Madoguchi (Green Ticket Window) at the station. I told the staff I wanted to get on the soonest available train to Kyoto in the accessible seat. I was able to get on one that departed only 20 minutes later with no hassle. (A special room is available on the train as well, but it can take longer to book so I went for the standard space where a regular seat has been removed for wheelchairs.) For more information on the Shinkansen, read about it here.
After arriving in Kyoto, I went straight to Nijo Castle which was completed in 1626 and used as the Kyoto residence of the Shoguns. The staff were very friendly and started telling me about accessibility as soon as I went through the gates. The biggest challenge is the ground itself as it is all gravel. In an electric wheelchair it was fine, but for those in manual wheelchairs. The palace has been adapted so that those in wheelchairs can experience the interior, but you will be required to transfer from your regular wheelchair to a manual wheelchair they provide. You can read the full review here.
After dinner with some friends, I went to my hotel for the first night – The Westin Miyako Kyoto. The hotel is located right above Keage Station so it was very convenient for a first night stay. The entrance was a bit steep and made of cobblestone which could be a bit difficult for manual wheelchair users. The hotel has one accessible room. The room is a Deluxe Twin room that has had an accessible bathroom added on. The bathroom is very large and completely waterproof, but the toilet was tall and lacked a backrest. It was convenient, but didn't necessarily feel like you were in Kyoto. You can read the full review here.
Since The Philosopher's Walk is only 10 minutes by foot from the hotel, that was the first stop for the day. This pedestrian path is lined with cherry trees and located along the side of a canal that runs between Nanzenji and Ginkakuji. It can only be accessed by bus (80%+ of the buses in Kyoto are accessible) or from Keage Station, so it can be a bit hard to get too, but the temples nearby can make it worthwhile. The path itself is made from large stones and can be a bit unpleasant in a wheelchair, but the small street running next to it still provides a good view. You can read the full review here.
At one end of the path, Ginkakuji – or the Silver Pavilion – awaits. While not actually made of silver, this temple has a great moss garden and a unique sculpted-gravel garden. Unfortunately, a large part of the grounds are on the side of a steep hill and completely inaccessible. I wouldn't recommend it on its own, but it can be worthwhile if bundled together with the Philosopher's Walk and Nanzenji. You can read the full review here.
Before heading to my hotel, I took a stroll through Kyoto's kitchen, Nishiki Market. This market has all sorts of tastes and smells to enjoy – and often free samples! It is beloved by both tourists and locals alike, so it gets very crowded. The street itself is accessible, but be prepared to be jostled! You can read the full review here.
That night I stayed at Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei. The hotel resembles an old building from ancient Kyoto but the inside is stylish and blends ancient and modern. There is a small curb at the front of the hotel, but otherwise it is very accommodating. They have one accessible room. Inside, there are twin beds, but the layout means only the one closest to the door is accessible. The bath and toilet are in separate rooms. The bath area is completely waterproof so the shower chair can be placed next to the bath and be used as a roll-in shower. The toilet is unfortunately located at 180° to the door and very difficult to transfer too. You can read the full review here.
Before heading back to Tokyo, I made one final stop – Kyoto Imperial Palace. Once the residence of the Emperor of Japan, Kyoto Imperial Palace and the surrounding park are now open to the public and is a great way for visitors to enjoy nature and history in one place. The huge park has many accessible washrooms, but all the paths are covered in large gravel stones. Even in an electric wheelchair I occasionally worried I might get stuck – manual wheelchair users will likely find it very difficult. The distances might also be hard for those with other mobility issues. Kaninnomiya is quite accessible and can give a glimps into how nobility lived in ages past. You can read the full review here.
I was again easily able to get return tickets in the wheelchair accessible space for the Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo. The trip renewed my love for Japan's ancient capital and has me eager to go and review more tourist sites for people with disabilities heading to Japan!

Visual & Critical Studies, MA
Visual & Critical Studies Chair
Meet Jacqueline Francis
The Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies (VCS) provides interdisciplinary and culturally diverse framework within which to interpret the visual world. Emphasizing the social and political implications of visual objects, sites, and events, we train students who intend to write professionally about visual art and visual culture.
We strive to refine written and oral presentation skills, sharpen critical faculties, and further the development of innovative as well as traditional forms of research and critical expression. The range of challenging topics examined by our students at the annual thesis symposium and the conviction of their presentations inspire us.
On Diversity
Our program aspires to reflect the diversity of the communities in which California College of the Arts is embedded. This commitment to diversity informs our admissions and hiring practices as well as our curricular and extracurricular planning.
Each VCS course is conceived with attention to providing a range of perspectives reflecting the backgrounds and experiences of the culturally diverse student body we attract and serve.
Our curriculum equips students to critically analyze differential power dynamics within a global visual field. We think this is the most important education a student can receive in a global arena dominated by visual modes of information transmission.
On Interdisciplinarity
We offer students a rigorous and stimulating site for interdisciplinary investigation. Our core courses, electives, and programs attract students from all disciplines represented at the college. Moreover, the dual-degree option (in Fine Arts, Creative Writing, Curatorial Practice, and Design) sets Visual and Critical Studies at CCA apart from its rivals, uniting a range of perspectives and practices under one academic umbrella.
We complement opportunities for working across traditional disciplinary boundaries in the classroom with extracurricular programs of the highest quality.
Our Wednesday morning Forums, for instance, draw students and faculty together in an intimate, seminar-like setting, to converse with path-breaking scholars, artists, curators, and critics whose work models the creative possibilities that interdisciplinarity opens. Past Forum participants include José Esteban Muñoz, Nao Bustemante, Peggy Phelan, Simon Leung, Teresa de Lauretis, Linda Williams, Anne Wagner, Rita Gonzales, Shannon Jackson, and Jennifer Gonzalez.
In addition to our weekly Forums, we invite scholars, artists, activists, and students from various disciplines to focus on pressing social and cultural issues in the events that are open to the general public. Appearances by Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Guillermo Gomez-Pena, and Martin Berger packed the house.
Public roundtables and symposia we have sponsored include a "Feminist Art Today" roundtable; a colloquium exploring the "Holocaust Effect in Contemporary Art" (organized in collaboration with the Judah L. Magnes Museum, in Berkeley); a national symposium focusing on "The Arts and Environmental Ethics" (produced in collaboration with Stanford University); a roundtable titled "What Can a Body Do? Investigating Disability in Contemporary Art Disability and Art"; and an ongoing "Queer Conversations in Culture and Art" series (cosponsored by the Queer Cultural Center of San Francisco).
In these endeavors, we have collaborated with community organizations, arts institutions, and academic allies to strengthen connections across the disciplines at the college, foster relations with wider communities, and raise the profile of our program and its promising students.

Bis(1-3:5-6-η-cyclooctadienyl)ruthenium: Preparation, NMR spectroscopy, and isomerization to (η6-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene)(1-2:5-6-η-1,5-cyclooctadiene)ruthenium via the activation of a CH bond
Kenji Itoh, Hideo Nagashima, Toshiyuki Ohshima, Noriaki Oshima, Hisao Nishiyama
The complex Ru(1-3:5-6-η-C8H11)2 (II) was prepared by the reduction of ruthenium trichloride hydrate with zinc in the presence of 1,5-cyclooctadiene at room temperature. Complex II, isomerized to Ru(η6-C8H10)(1-2:5-6-η-C8H12) (I) at 70°C by the migration of a hydrogen atom from one l-3:5-6-η-C8H11 ligand to the other. The 1H and 13C NMR spectral evidence including selective irradiation studies suggests unsymmetrical coordination of the olefinic moiety of the 1-3:5-6-η-C8H11 ligand in the complex II.

Home › Insurance › Funeral Costs In Malaysia: Can You Afford It?
We talk a great deal about living your life, and that's something very important. After all, finance is entirely dominated by people who are still alive.
Despite this, we often forget to talk about what happens at the end of this life and the passing on to the next. It's a taboo subject for Asians. One that is rarely discussed among polite company.
However, it's important to at least put some consideration towards what will happen. After all, you don't want to end up burdening your family with unforeseen costs. With this in mind, just how much will you need to set aside?
What are the expenses related to a person's death?
Among the biggest expenses in the event of a death are the cost of funeral rites.
What needs to be done in this situation varies across Malaysia's multi-ethnic society. Burials, wakes, cremations, caskets. All are applied in different ways for the many religions in Malaysia as well as whether land and transportation costs need to be taken into consideration. There are also different levels of community support depending on your faith.
In a Muslim funeral service, the deceased is brought to a nearby mosque to be bathed and wrapped in cloth (kain kapan); prayers are then said and the body is taken to a nearby graveyard for burial.
All of this must be accomplished in a single day which keeps the cost of Muslim funerals relatively low cost. Few mosques actually advertise their prices for handling such ceremonies, but the Masjid Jamek in Kampung Baru provides a helpful outline for what to expect.
Overall, the entire cost – including burial plot – comes up to an average of RM940 according to rates advertised by Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru. Depending on where the funeral is held in the country, a minimum of RM400 may suffice to pay for the funeral, including the services of the gravedigger and a simple headstone.
Muslim graveyards in Malaysia are located on waqf land, i.e. a plot of land that has been donated for religious use. In other words, there is no charge for being able to afford the land. The only cost required here is to pay for the services of the gravedigger and a simple headstone.
On the other end of the scale, funeral costs can go up to several thousand ringgit with additional gatherings and prayer services and other extras depending on the deceased economic status at the time of death.
Hindus generally favour cremation instead of burial for the deceased for religious reasons. There still are burial sites, but these are mainly for infants or saints.
It's also very difficult to pin down the cost of a Hindu funeral here in Malaysia. The more affluent turn to professional services that also cater to other faiths. These prices are covered later in this article; although one should note that they get fairly expensive due to the cost also covering a variety of added services.
Of what we could find from public sources online is that Hindu funerals generally cost between RM3,000 and RM5,000; provided no professional services are used.
This cost mainly goes towards paying a priest to say the last rites, hiring a hearse, obtaining a casket, cremation fees and memorial services.
A major portion of the costs for Christian funerals lie in the casket and burial plot. Some families splurge a little more here to ensure that their loved ones go off in a respectable manner. Others also opt for cremation, which changes how much the entire process can cost.
For the most part, most Christian funerals will cost around RM20,000; not including the burial plot. One thing to note is that choosing to intern a body means finding a spot in a public Christian cemetery or to pay for an expensive private plot of land as a final resting place. Cremation – and the subsequent internment at a columbarium – generally costs about half as much as a burial plot.
The Chinese communities who observe Buddhist or Taoist death rituals are likely the best and most prepared to face their inevitable demise. The rituals include making preparations for the deceased needs in the afterlife. This includes having money, houses, cars, and even electronics.
All this comes in the form of burning specially prepared paper replicas of actual material objects; with money being the most common offering.
These ceremonies can run up to tens of thousands of ringgit if you add in the cost of the casket, funeral procession, prayer services and the duration of the wake which can stretch to five or seven days. One site we checked offered funeral services starting from RM16,000; plus another RM20,000 for the burial plot. Of course, cremation is a more budget friendly option. Internment in a columbarium costs around RM9,800.
A more elaborate final resting place could run into the hundreds of thousands, especially if it includes a full sized tomb being built. For instance, this site from Xiao-en offers a family sized burial plot for RM636,000.
Some Chinese funeral homes also offer installment packages, allowing individuals to pay for their own funerals long before they actually need them, or the option of prepaid columbarium slots which individuals can book and pay for themselves while still alive.
In the event of a loved one's passing, there is more to the expenses involved in a death besides paying for the funeral rites. Some expenses are incidental, like paying for obituaries, transportation, catering and perhaps even airfare and accommodation.
However, if the deceased owned property and assets, the cost of administration to transfer or dispose of them can cost up to thousands of ringgit, depending on the value of the estate.
A deceased's property and assets are frozen upon his death and family members who want to get this sorted out must follow proper procedures to administer and distribute his estate.
This involves compiling and managing a deceased's assets, making arrangement for any existing debts and distributing remaining assets to the legally recognised beneficiaries.
As these are legally mandated procedures, every step incurs fees and charges, either payable to the lawyer or to relevant federal or state bodies.
In Malaysia, estates of deceased Muslims are governed by Syariah laws while estates of deceased non-Muslims are governed either by an official will under the Will's Act 1959 or through the Small Estates (Distribution) Act, 1955 via a letter of administration (LA) if the deceased did not leave a will.
All these expenses on top of paying for funeral rites can add up to a five or six-digit figure amount in dues.
The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) has a one-off RM2,500 death benefit that the next-of-kin are eligible to apply. Similarly, the Social Security Organization (Socso) has funeral benefits that the next-of-kin of members can claim.
Malaysian government employees are also eligible to claim funeral arrangement costs from the government and in Selangor, the state government has the Skim Mesra Usia Emas (SMUE) sponsored by the Selangor Government that pays up to RM2,500 to selected representatives of the deceased.
One might think it a little cynical to talk about life insurance in a story about funerals, but there is a point to be made here. You need to know that most life insurance policies are designed to take care of the deceased funeral costs first.
In other words, having a policy will ensure that the family you leave behind will not have to worry about how much to put towards your final rites. Essentially letting you know that you won't be a burden on their finances once you pass on.
If you're confident that your family can handle the expenses, then that's all fine. Good on you for preparing them for the future and ensuring that they are taking care of themselves. If not, then consider an extra buffer to minimise the stress they are going through.

Everton football star Andre Gomes has had successful ankle surgery after a sickening fracture and now faces months of rehab as his teammates urge him to 'stay strong'.
The midfielder has had surgery at Aintree Hospital today following the horrific injury at Goodison Park against Tottenham Hotspur.
A spokesman for the club said he will recover at the team's training ground following the operation.
'Everton Football Club can confirm Andre Gomes underwent surgery to repair a fracture dislocation to his right ankle earlier today and the procedure went extremely well,' he said. 'Andre will now spend some time recovering in hospital, before returning to USM Finch Farm to start his rehabilitation under the guidance of the club's medical staff. He is expected to make a full recovery.
'On behalf of Andre, the club would like to thank all Everton supporters and members of the wider football family for the overwhelming messages of support we have received since yesterday's match.'

Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford tweeted out a message of support to his 'brother' as he said: 'We're all here for you. Hope to see you back on the pitch as soon as possible.' And striker Theo Walcott wrote: 'Praying for you @aftgomes stay strong my friend.'
Gomes's foot appeared to twist in the ground at Goodison Park after a challenge by Tottenham's Son Heung Min, who was sent off and reduced to tears after seeing the horrific injury.
Son's teammate Serge Aurier, who was also involved in the collision, was seen praying on the pitch and was substituted shortly afterwards, unable to continue with the game.
Turkish striker Tosun, who equalised after coming on as a substitute, raced over to cradle Gomes and prevent him from seeing the extent of the injury.
'Everybody is so sad inside,' he said. 'Some players, they nearly cried. He was in shock. His eyes were open so big. He was crying, shouting and screaming.
'I just tried to hold him and speak to him; I tried to tell him to stay calm. We couldn't understand him. He was the one who had got the injury.'
Gomes previously played for Barcelona and led the high life with his girlfriend Lisa Goncalves, a Spanish dentist, but they are now believed to have split up.

Tosun ended up scoring Everton's equaliser, seven minutes into the 12 that were added on at the end
Everton fans near the incident yesterday struggled to look at the sickening injury as players and coaching staff from both teams appeared distraught and comforted each other.
Initial viewing showed that Son made the initial tackle before Aurier made contact with Gomes while the midfielder was on the ground.
The Portugal international was caught by a late challenge but it was the way he fell awkwardly, as Serge Aurier closed in, which did the damage with his right ankle seemingly at right angles to his shin.
The injury, which happened with the score at 1-0 to Tottenham, was so graphic that Sky Sports only showed replays up to the point of contact.
The game ended 1-1 with an equaliser deep into the 12 minutes of injury time caused by the incident.
Everton have released a club statement last night on the injury, saying: 'Everton Football Club can confirm Andre Gomes will undergo surgery tomorrow after sustaining an ankle injury in today's game with Tottenham Hotspur.
'The Portugal international was stretchered from the pitch during the second half of the game and taken straight to Aintree Hospital by ambulance accompanied by members of the Everton medical team.
'After undergoing hospital tests, it was confirmed he had suffered a fracture dislocation to his right ankle. The Club will provide further updates in due course.'

Gomes was stretchered off the pitch after receiving medical treatment for some time, and fans around the ground gave him a standing ovation while they sang his name.
Everton went on to equalise in added time, sparking wild celebrations from the fans.
Toffees boss Marco Silva said: 'It is a bad moment for us as a group and as a team. It more than a football game, this is the most important thing right now. We as a group have to keep togetherness.
'He went to the hospital. Now our medical staff are taking control of everything. We'll wait to hear more and find out exactly what the situation is.
'It's a bad moment as a team. Now we'll give all the support to Andre. The spirit we showed after that moment was fantastic.
'I didn't see the moment. I saw him there on the floor and saw nothing more. I can't talk to you about the incident because I didn't see the images until now.
'We showed fantastic team spirit. It's the most important thing. It was a really tough game but we showed great character, particularly late on.'
The gruesome scenes bring to mind similar football agonies such as the ones suffered by Arsenal's Eduardo and Coventry's David Busst.
Many have criticised referee Martin Atkinson for showing Son a red card despite the result of the challenge.

A yellow card was first issued before Atkinson upgraded it to a red upon seeing the injury. He did not consult VAR.
The Premier League have since issued a statement saying: 'The red card for Son was for endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge.'
Everton's Fabian Delph struggled to talk to Sky Sports after the game, saying: 'We feel just as you can imagine. It's difficult time for us. He is one of our brothers, someone we care about.
'It is difficult to put into words how we feel. As soon as we could get in touch we will send him our best. It's difficult to see. It's hard to talk now.'
Many wished Gomes a speedy recovery including Gary Lineker who tweeted: 'Oh dear me. Poor Gomes. That looks hideous.'

After the game, Dele Alli told Sky Sports: 'Son is devastated and in tears. It's not his fault. Son is one of nicest people you've ever met. He can't even lift his head up, he's crying so much.
'You have to stay professional, focused and switched on. Unfortunately we switched off and they equalised.
'Tottenham send our best to Andre Gomes. You never want to see that on any other professional.'
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said after the game: 'We feel really sorry. It was a really bad situation, very bad luck how he landed. We can only send our best wishes.
Former Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair said it was 'heartbreaking' to see Gomes suffer such an awful injury
Ryan Mason, who was forced to retire after he suffered a fractured skill during a game when he was just 26
'Son is devastated. I was confused during the situation. When you watch it afterwards, it was never a tackle that intended to do harm. It's just very, very unlucky.'
Everton's captain, Seamus Coleman, led a delegation from his team into Tottenham's dressing room after the match.
According to the Mirror, Coleman told a distraught Son: 'It is not your fault, these things happen.'
Jamie Carragher, who was in the commentary box for Sky Sports' coverage of the game, pointed out that Gomes's Everton team-mate Seamus Coleman suffered a similar injury.
He said: 'Coleman suffered something similar a few years ago. He's probably not come back as quite the same player, those types of injuries are very difficult to come back from.
The pundit then went on to say Son did not deserve a red card, saying: 'If that is a red then every challenge is endangering another player.
'I think in the future of the game, if anyone makes a challenge where they know they can't win the ball, I think that will be the next step with the game – people might not agree with that – but they will be red card decisions.'
Football's most sickening injuries
David Busst: The injury which ended Coventry defender David Busst's career is widely regarded as one of the most gruesome in the history of the game.
Just two minutes into Coventry's game at Manchester United on April 8 1996, having ventured forward after his team won a corner, Busst collided with United players Denis Irwin and Brian McClair, suffering extensive compound fractures to both the tibia and fibula of his right leg.

The match was delayed for nine minutes while Busst was carried from the field on a stretcher while water and sand had to be used to clean his blood from the pitch.
United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel vomited on the pitch after seeing the injury and required counselling afterwards along with a number of other players present.
Eduardo: The Arsenal forward was on the end of a shocking tackle from Birmingham City's Martin Taylor in 2008.
It was a shocking collision that left the diminutive Croatian forward with a compound fracture to his left fibula and an open dislocation of his left ankle.

So severe was the damage, Eduardo received treatment on the pitch for seven minutes before undergoing surgery at a local hospital. The injury was so grimacing that Sky Sports even refused to show replays.
Taylor was sent off for the offence but Arsene Wenger called for the defender to be banned from the game for life in his post-match press conference. Even FIFA waded in with disgraced former president Sepp Blatter requesting their disciplinary chairman review the matter.
Alf-Inge Haaland: Roy Keane's shocking tackle on Alf-Inge Haland in the Manchester derby is considered one of the worst in Premier League history.
Four years previously Haaland, who was playing for Leeds, had accused the hard-hitting United midfielder of 'faking' pain after the Irishman went down in the penalty area following their collision at Elland Road. He clearly wasn't as he subsequently missed nearly a year of action with a cruciate ligament injury.
Then, in 2001, Keane got his own back by producing a horrible challenge that all but ended Haaland's career. During the derby at Old Trafford, Keane flew into a tackle on the City player with his studs up into the knee.
Roy Keane's tackle in the Manchester derby left Alf-Inge Haaland with serious injuries
In his autobiography, Keane said it was an act of vengeance over Haaland.
'I'd waited long enough. I f****** hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that you c***,' were his infamous quotes. 'And don't ever stand over me again sneering about fake injuries.'
Keane was sent off for the foul, fined £5,000 and given a three-match ban. But after his book emerged, Keane found himself subject to an FA inquiry and received an additional five-game ban, and £150,000 fine, despite claiming his ghostwriter had embellished his real words.
Haaland never played a full 90 minutes of football again
Haaland was flipped over and landed on the turf upside down such was the force of the tackle
Aaron Ramsey: The then 19-year-old Arsenal midfielder was on the receiving end of that tackle from Stoke's Ryan Shawcross, a challenge that broke his leg twice in a manner which caused onlookers to wince and look away in disgust.
Ramsey was out of action for nine months and never accepted Shawcross's apology, the source of an ongoing rivalry between Arsenal and Stoke.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger condemned the challenge as 'horrendous and unacceptable', while also criticising Stoke's overall approach.
Wenger brandished Stoke boss Tony Pulis's approach as 'rugby' tactics.
Djibril Cisse: The France and Liverpool forward had the misfortune of suffering two horrific leg breaks during his career.
During an international against China in 2006, his leg twisted under him, with fellow striker Thierry Henry hearing his anguished screams.
Fortunately the injury did not curtail his long career.

Karl Robinson not expecting final between Oxford and Wycombe to be 'tasty'
Oxford edged out Portsmouth on penalties to reach the third-tier play-off decider.
Karl Robinson has rejected opposite number Gareth Ainsworth's derby rhetoric ahead of Oxford's meeting with Wycombe in Monday's League One play-off final.
Wycombe manager Ainsworth expects a "tasty" Wembley clash against their local rivals, but Oxford boss Robinson's chief watchword has been respect.
Oxford edged out Portsmouth on penalties to reach the third-tier play-off decider, and Robinson is confident his players will keep their heads on Monday.
Asked for his response to Ainsworth's prediction, Robinson said: "No comment, if that's what they want to turn it into.
"It's a football game, it's a football game. I've got respect for Gareth, I speak to him quite often.
"But it's a football game, with rules, and referees. And it can't be tasty, because there's limits in the way you can do things.
"If you look at my comments, I think we've been utterly respectful to everybody we've played against this season.
"And whatever people's view is in how it will be played, it will be played out in a way that we'll all see.
"If it's tasty, then the referee's there to control it.
"If what they do wins the game, well done, if what we do wins the game, we'll be ecstatic obviously.
"I'm not going to get drawn into that, I'm more worried about the quality of Wycombe and the quality things they bring to a game of football."
Robinson explained his desire to prioritise respect was based in the harsh realities that defeats can leave jobs on the line.
The 39-year-old even admitted to weighing up the impact of karma, when charting how he dampened down celebrations in a last-gasp victory over Wycombe last term.
A late 2-1 win over Ainsworth's men helped Oxford gain a survival fight edge over their local rivals, but also offered Robinson and his squad a chance to avoid any gloating.
"We played Wycombe here a season ago when we were both in difficult situations," said Robinson.
"The respect I have for Wycombe I think a lot of people know.
"And after we had won, I made my players turn the music off in the dressing room.
"We were both in the relegation zone, both fighting for our lives, we had two teams that are really honest in what they do.
"And we didn't feel it was right to have music on in the dressing room after the game, knowing how low they could have been.
"We felt the respect we had for the opposition was to not celebrate that, because we felt it might come back to bite you on the bum in some ways.
"Let's not get this wrong, I've done things and there's things I'll look back on with great regret, but you do hopefully learn along the way.
"The reason I turned the music off was a team had come to us earlier in the season, I don't remember who it was, but we were rock bottom and I was probably getting the sack that night.
"And they blasted their music out the door and into the tunnel. And you think to yourself 'come on this is about people's livelihoods here'.
"I know Gareth wouldn't want any harm to come to me, yet he'd want me beaten every time as a manager.
"And I'm the same. I don't want any harm coming to any of their players or any negative things coming to any of their players, other than us beating them on Monday. And we're both the same on that.
"If you have total respect for the opposition, it allows you to be ultra-competitive once the whistle goes."

The Death Penalty - Is It Still Applicable?
Thursday, 05 March 2015 13:48	K B Napier
Exodus 20:13 clearly says "Thou shalt not kill" and the warning is repeated in Deuteronomy and Romans. In Romans 13:9 we read: "Thou shalt not kill…" Thus, the command at the beginning is the same as the command at the end.
As part of the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:13 uses the word ratsach for 'kill'. It specifically means to commit premeditated murder, though it can also mean to accidentally kill someone in other texts. Assassination is another similar meaning. Therefore, the command is "You will not commit first degree murder". That is, to kill someone after forethought and deliberation. It does not, then, refer to unintentional manslaughter.
So, we know that one of God's principle commandments is that we should not think about, or commit, murder. Necessarily, then, there must be a penalty for those who ignore the command… and not restricted to post-earth. There are earthly punishments. Today, those punishments are erroneously linked to 'rehabilitation'. It is erroneous because God's commands do not include this lesser option – it only includes the death penalty.
Many protest against the death penalty, because a few are punished and put to death wrongly. But, this is not the fault of scripture! It is the fault of modern law-makers, who do not apply the same strict rules as God! Today, we must have sure proof before putting a killer to death, and examples are shown in scripture. If we put to death the wrong person, it can only be because we do not have strict rules of proof (evidences are not enough).
Just as the commandment not to murder is clear, so is the penalty. Exodus 21:12 states "He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death." Now, if killing a man was wrong in itself, God would not have commanded the death penalty. Killing in war, in self-defence, or accidentally, is not treated like first-degree murder. The penalty above only applies in the case of premeditation.
The text indicated implies premeditation, as the following verse 13 suggests, with the words "lie not in wait". If a killer does not lie in wait, then he can escape to a city of refuge, where he cannot be harmed unless he leaves the city within a specified time. Verse 14 highlights this difference. These verses are followed by other instances where a man could be put to death. Frankly, if many insolent young people were to be treated according to these texts, they would be put to death!
The same penalty of death was commanded for men who follow perverse sexual desires. Exodus 22:19, for example warns against bestiality, man or woman. Jews who defiled the Sabbath were to be put to death, as were those who worked on the Sabbath. Those who gave their children for sacrifice to false gods were also to be put to death. Adulterers and incestuous people were to be put to death. Homosexuals were to die, too, because what they do is an 'abomination'. The same penalty applies to witches and all who practice the occult.
Most of the above examples are to do with defiling God's image, or His plans. Thus, the penalties, though severe, are reasonable. The deaths of Ananias and Sapphira were the result of lying to the Holy Spirit. Theirs was just as much a death penalty as for those who were put to death for murder.
It is pointless to claim that Old Testament laws no longer apply. In the New Testament we have lists of sins that are hated by God and which must be punished if repentance is not forthcoming. We are commanded to obey judges, or suffer the consequences, including death.
Every commandment in the Decalogue is for today. Jesus said He came not to get rid of these commandments and laws, but to fulfil them. That also goes for not committing murder, which is punishable by death. We are also told in the Old Testament that the nation that refuses to put its murderers to death is liable, and held to be guilty of the charge of murder.
If, then, every commandment in the Decalogue still applies to today – so does the one telling us not to murder. Every sin except the one that cannot be forgiven, is countered by repentance, including murder. However, even if God forgives a repentant murderer, he must still suffer the ultimate penalty of death, just as thieves, etc., must be imprisoned if a judge does not wish to show clemency. Premeditated murder is the killing of another who is made in God's image. That is why it cannot be let go – the killer MUST be put to death, regardless of sorrow or repentance.

On Friday night, our family embarked on some good ole' small town America fun. We went to the Kiddie Carnival in Athens. The same rides have been there for decades, the Lions Club runs it and the admission is free. The sun was hot, the ice cream delicious and the friendly faces were exactly what you might expect in small town Alabama.
The only problem was…I forgot the stroller for John. John is 16-months-old and holding him is a bit like holding a cat. So, Will watched Mary on the rides and I let John roam around, following five to ten feet behind him.
As people saw him, they smiled at the two-foot, red-headed wanderer and the look on their faces was a bit puzzled and intrigued. A look that said, "who is this little fellow and what is his story?" They were probably wondering if he belonged to anyone…was he lost? And everything anyone needed to know about him was answered by these two words from me…"He's mine." That's all I had to say. Then they knew where he came from, they could see he looks like me (well sort of), that if anyone were to knock him down, I would defend him, that he had a home to go to after this, that he belongs, that he is safe, that he is loved, that he is part of a family, that if he were to get lost I would put all of my resources into finding him. You see, he belongs to me. And I simply adore him! When I said, "He's mine," I could not help the smile that came across my face. Lucky me! That one's mine. And he has NO idea how much I love him! He never did a thing to earn my love and I couldn't love him any more because…he's mine!
We drove home through the country and saw a beautiful full moon. Mary said it was going home with us and, sure enough, when we got home, she pointed out that it stopped and rested right above our house. Too cute! As I was looking at that full moon over the grassy fields in the car, a little warm fuzzy came over me…The One who spoke that moon into existence…when He looks at me, He says, "That one…she's mine." And He says that He takes great delight in me. And when I roam around as a child here, and people wonder what my story is, the answer is summarized in one word…"HIS." And when you look at Him, you'll know everything you need to know.
You've captured something pretty amazing here… that He proudly calls us his own and delights in us as His kids. Psalm 37:23 says that "He delights in every detail of our lives". Crazy that the Maker of heaven and earth who daily sustains and holds the whole world together is even aware of every detail of my life much less delights in it. That's a good dad… one who's not removed from responsibility but still has time to enjoy us because we are his.
So true and so dear!!


As I mentioned in a previous article the Clerk of the Seanad has rejected my complaint regarding bribery claims by Labour Senator Denis Landy on the grounds that I did not make a complaint against a specific member of the Senate.
During my research compiling a new complaint I came across a code of conduct for members of Seanad Eireann on the Standards in Public Office (SIPO) website.
Delighted with this new information I rang SIPO to enquire about the procedure for making a complaint.
Sorry, Mr. Sheridan, we only deal with complaints against office holders. We cannot accept a complaint against an ordinary member of the Dail or Senate.
So why is this code of conduct published on your website?
Oh that's just to inform citizens that such a code exists but it has nothing to do with us.
So what authority does a citizen submit a complaint to for breach of this code?
The Clerk of the Seanad or Dail.
So here I am again – back at the start of yet another circle.
I have now submitted two complaints to the Clerk of the Seanad specifically against Senator Landy (See full complaints below).
The first complaint is made under the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001, Section 8 (2) and is centred on the fact that Senator Landy did not report the bribery allegation to the relevant authorities and that he has refused to reveal the identity of the person alleged to have offered the bribe.
The second complaint is made under the Code of Conduct for Members of Seanad Eireann, specifically under sections 1, 2, 3(i) and 3(ii) which states.
Members must interact with authorities involved with public administration and the enforcement of the law in a manner which is consistent with their roles as public representatives and legislators.
Complaints to Clerk of the Seanad.
For attention of: The Clerk of the Seanad.
This is a formal complaint made under the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001, Section 8 (2) regarding a reported incident that occurred within the Houses of the Oireachtas on a date between the 1st and 19 July 2013.
The incident concerns a claim by Labour Senator Denis Landy that he was offered a plush holiday to coincide with a series of votes on the referendum to abolish the Seanad.
I was approached by an individual in Leinster House and offered flights and a stay in a top hotel in New York should I go missing during this week.
Senator Landy expressed the opinion that the offer was made in an attempt to defeat the Government.
According to the report Senator Landy has refused to name the person who approached him but he did describe the person as a political figure.
The incident was first reported in the Sunday Independent on 21 July 2013. I have included the complete report below.
My complaint against Senator Landy is that he has failed to report this incident to the relevant authorities. He has also refused to reveal the identity of the person alleged to have offered the bribe.
I base my complaint on the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001, Section 8 (2) and specifically on the words "or done a specific act" contained in the legislation.
Senator Landy's failure to report allegations of a serious crime to the relevant authorities is a specific act of omission.
Senator Landy's refusal to reveal the identity of the person alleged to have offered the bribe is also a specific act.
For attention of: Clerk of the Seanad.
This is a formal complaint against Senator Denis Landy for breaches of the Code of Conduct for Members of Seanad Eireann.
My complaint against Senator Landy is that he has failed to report this incident to the relevant authorities. He has also refused to reveal the identity of the person alleged to have offered what is, in effect, a bribe.
Senator Landy's failure to report the alleged crime and his failure to reveal the identity of the person alleged to have offered the bribe are in breach of the following sections of the Code of Conduct for Members of Seanad Eireann and in particular is in breach of Section 3 (ii).
1. Members must, in good faith, strive to maintain the trust placed in them, and exercise the influence gained from their public office to advance the public interest.
2. Members must conduct themselves in accordance with the provisions and spirit of the Code of Conduct and ensure that their conduct does not bring the integrity of their office or the Seanad into disrepute.
3. (i) Members have a particular obligation to behave in a manner which is consistent with the proper performance of the functions of the Office of Member of Seanad Éireann and with the maintenance of confidence in such performance by the general public.
Well done Gavin, your persistence will reap rewards, eventually. However, perhaps you might be better to contact Michael Smith, editor of The Village magazine. Who is considering waging a similar war through the courts, over governments failure to prosecute previous cases of corruption. I am sure that his battles would substantially benefit your own, and we (the Royal we that is), would all be winners?


DUCATI DIAVEL CARBON, IMMACULATE EXAMPLE HERE WITH ONLY 1064 MILES FROM NEW, ONE OWNER. STANDARD BIKE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A TAIL TIDY.
Quote from MCN: We can't quite get our heads around how Ducati has managed it, considering the Diavel's long, low cruiser gait and fat back tyre, but this bike steers and sweeps and scratches and stops almost as good as a super naked. It's that good. It steers perfectly neutrally and holds its line without complaint or (amazingly) decking out – and boy we tried. Its ride is smooth and controlled and the brakes are simply awesome. Sports bikes WILL be humbled by the Diavel.
