A HARD LIFE

"If you look at the history of our club, who have always made it difficult for ourselves and to our fans through it," growled Lord Ferg last home defeat after local rivals Manchester United. Here at Fiver Towers we are not quite sure win 19 league titles, 15 points catchy runner reached 18 finals of the FA Cup, winning 11 of them, also reaching 10 Champions Cup final, coming leading in four of them, a winning percentage of 60% in five major cup finals and win a huge bounty of several other major trophies can possibly count "making it difficult for you." We are far from convinced that the omission leads by 15 points early in April calls "to their supporters through it."

Ultimately, the fiver is convinced that someone should get another dose of powder perspective morning cup of vitriol Lord Ferg, or some smuggling raisins realism usual afternoon barbed wire and a cupcake glass fragment. The fiver recognizes that even could do with a spell in charge of, say, Aston Villa, who had 17 top-two finishes in the league, most of them no more than one, and are now put their supporters through it in a more unconditionally at the other end of the table. Or Everton, who celebrated the victory in one of three trophies England 15 hours and regretted that comes second 17 times, a world record (counting only English teams whose FIVER just tot files). How the fans or anyone else to give you the opportunity to be put through it, Ferg style?

Anyway, back to the game last night, after managers agreed on one thing: that his boys were better than the other side. "We deserved to win," fumed Roberto Mancini. "We were the better team," Mancini parped Lord Ferg had statistics on their side:. City had more possession and tries to spend more, save more tackles and scored more goals Lord Ferg also have statistics. Meanwhile: United had more shots on goal, no shots on target, more corners and crosses unnecessary things Ruddy statistics

not matter. City stole a cookie, but states have the package. "The advantage is that there are only seven games now" gruffed Ferg, that misery can not end soon, with an eye on the fixture. Now only 12 points and again until any office so that you care to look, as 20 sign for United. Always make life difficult for them, this lot. While the "difficult" to say "fucking awesome."

Student 'lad culture': the hidden victims of sexual abuse

university authorities had fewer than 100 cases of sexual harassment last year. Doing enough to respond to the misogyny of the students?

studying the "youth culture" has become a national issue. The phenomenon often associated with Unilad website has become a catch-all term for anything misogyny agitation drunk and abuse, including sexual abuse.

But despite numerous media reports on laddism, universities still have little idea of ??the magnitude of its effects.

new figures show 71 universities in the UK were aware of a total of less than 100 cases of sexual abuse and harassment last year. The data were published after the freedom of information requests guard and showed that only 98 cases were recorded by universities that responded.

many colleges said they were not aware of any incident at all, throughout 2012. Although some cases are recorded by the police, the figures show that the university authorities do not see the big picture of misogyny on campus.

a reluctance to report the facts means that the official figures mask what is a growing problem, said Laura Bates, founder of Project sexism, said: "A lot of women experience student sexual assault, unwanted sexual touching, groping and sexual harassment on a frequent basis.

"However, the standardization of" jokes lad and attitudes that stigmatize victims - both in the media and student social circles - the improbable students report these incidents or feel something so shame or guilt. incidents, or think they will not believe. "

activists say sites like Unilad, which has been criticized for joking that the violation was "Surprise sex" and Facebook pages of "spotting" where anonymous users to post comments on their peers to be endanger the safety and mental well-being of women.

• The problem of under-reported cases is not helped by the lack of detailed research on abuse.
• It was not until 2010 that the National University of Singapore has published the first national study of more experience bullying, harassment, violence and students of sexual assault. Marks indicate hidden surveyed 2,000 students and found that 1 in 7 had been the victim of a serious physical or sexual assault.

But it also revealed that only 4% of students had seriously sexually assaulted had informed the university. And only 10% said the police. Half of those who reported the incident said it was because he was embarrassed, while 43% said they thought they would be blamed for it.

Although research has been done since then, reports can be limited. A recent report on youth culture NUS, examined a wide range of topics from misogynist jokes about sexual violence among students. Although provided important information on the suffering and sexism in universities, the study only talked to 40 women, making it difficult to form a picture of the true extent of the problem.

However, a recent study by York University student union was five times more students about their experiences of sexual harassment. Once again, she found students were unlikely to report incidents. One respondent said: "Even though I informed a guard or someone like that ... I just said it was "exaggerated" "Another said:" It's my fault for being drunk and I paid the price. ".

Letters: Eugenics fear over gene modification

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority is considering recommending the legalization of "replacement" techniques to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial mitochondrial diseases (report, September 17, 2012). We believe that the benefits to a small number of parents are far exceeded by the risks to the child and to society. This was the first instance of regulatory approval for the modification of the human germ line. There is a long-standing international consensus that we should not take this online ethics, because it is likely to lead to a future of designer babies "transgenic.

a slide that has already been seen with drugs and surgery. The beginnings of eugenics ugly market are already visible in the United States, where students Ivy League eggs are charged 10 times higher than that of women who work. Genetic improvement is also a risk of dehumanization and commodification of relationships between children and their parents. These consequences can not be ignored later, in making this decision.
mitochondrial alternative technologies also create significant risks for the future epigenetic creature. Prevention of mitochondrial disease can be performed safely and reliably through egg donation. Replacement indemnity mitochondrial responds to the desire of the mother to be genetically related to their child. Such desires are understandable, but it is not a medical benefit. In our opinion, the advantage to a relatively small number of women to be genetically related to their child hardly justifies the potential risk to the health of children and the harmful effects of human hereditary genetic engineering.

"

Da Silva was in Malawi this week with Mr Piebalgs, European Commissioner for Development, Andris to discuss improving nutrition and food security. The three days of high-level visit included meetings with ministries, donors, the private sector and civil society groups working to harmonize efforts to meet the increasing demand due to population growth and to promote the development by exports. Malawi's economy is based on agriculture, with 80% of the population living in rural areas (although urban centers are increasingly a draw).

Banda said his state shares with Da Silva and Mr Piebalgs, the commitment to increase agricultural productivity through commercialization, mechanization, diversification and expansion of irrigation projects: "No more, we have only one [sec] agriculture in Malawi. We need to produce at least two or three times a year if we want to feed our people. "

Despite progress in reducing hunger, malnutrition remains a pressing problem. Over 47% of children are stunted, limited growth due to lack of proper nutrition, not helped by a diet too often depends on corn. Commissioner Piebalgs said: "The EU and the FAO vision on food security and nutrition [committed] to reduce the number of stunted children in the world at least 7 million in 2025.".

Da Silva acknowledged the role of cash transfers in improving nutrition levels and Brazil said .. "The rural sector is crucial for the future [Malawi] There is a need to diversify agricultural production need approaches that could affect the population more income in rural areas." 87% of Malawi's population is employed in Agriculture, which accounts for about 36% of GDP and over 70% of export earnings.

Dilnot 'regrets' decision to set social care cap at ?75,000

Social

author of the report, said that although attention cap is much higher than the recommended acknowledges "serious condition" of public finances

The author of the independent report on the financing of social assistance, has said he regretted the government's decision to set the limit for the accounts of ? 75,000, but insists that movement will be at least half of retirees should be "terrified by the consequences of the need for care."

Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, is expected to announce Monday the cap on the cost of social care funded by freezing inheritance tax, the government will put an end to it called the "scandal" of people are forced to sell their homes to fund care. However, the ? 75,000 cap is more than double the ? 35,000 recommended by the Dilnot commission independent.

Andrew Dilnot, the chief economist of the government responsible for the review, said she understood the economic logic. "We told [the lid] must be between ? 25,000 and ? 50,000 in 2010-11 prices," he said today's program on BBC Radio 4.

"The ceiling is proposed is € 75,000 in 2017 prices think this is the equivalent of ? 61,000 in our conditions, it is more than you want -. Than ? 11,000 upper end of our range, and I'm sorry, but I recognize that public finances are quite complicated. It seems to me that it is so different from what we wanted to radically transform the basic system. "

• Dilnot said that health care costs must be "bound" on how to plan for retirement, adding that pensions could be increased to take account of the needs of care, while the inheritance could be reduced .
• "At the moment, many people are hoarding wealth rather poor because they are so preoccupied with the worst," he said. "One of my hopes for this system is that there will be lower in future inheritance because people, knowing that the worst is that it will now be able to start spending their money in their own lives instead of keeping just in case they need very closely. "

Dot Gibson, general secretary of the National Pensioners Convention, said that the government had failed to reassure people that their houses would not be endangered. "People will continue to lose their homes to pay for it," he told the program. "? 75,000 is a lot higher cover."

urged the government to reconsider the establishment of a "national system of health care paid for by general taxation," which "would be free at the time of delivery."

The spiritualists, the offshore company and the case of the extra millions

Charity headquarters in Belgrave Square, London, sold for ? 6m then immediately sold for ? 15m profit

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes and a spiritualist burning sensation, could become a detective story and called the case of millions more.

The Charity Commission is examining concerns about the curious form ? 15m left in the sea after the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain gave up his seat in London in 2011.

President sat allegedly Conan Doyle to write his Sherlock Holmes stories usually have a place of honor at the association's headquarters, which was until recently one of the most large areas of London, 33 Belgrave Square, close to the embassies of Bahrain, Portugal and Mexico.

The lease Georgian mansion was purchased in 1955 by what now seems paltry sum of ? 24,500, and the building was opened by another fan of clairvoyance, Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, who led Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain.

Then, in 2010, realized that despite his spiritualist sessions and world media was not so fashionable, they were sitting on a gold mine due to higher prices of goods Central London.

The 1,300 members said operating costs were "becoming expensive" and the building was closed in December 2010. It sold, and decanted spiritualists in rented rooms behind Victoria Station.

But an investigation by The Guardian discovered the sale was unusual characteristics. The first was that spiritualism trustees sold the 4,600 square meters (15,000 square feet) to a buyer remains secret.

Manager

Charity, Annie Blair, the daughter of his then secretary, Stella Blair, said: "We were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement by buyers ... We can not give any information or discuss anything relating to the sale. "

The Guardian has established, however, that Belgrave Square was sold for what now appears as the relatively small sum of ? 6 million for a company offshore entity registered in the British Virgin Islands ( BVI), called Platinum Prime Property Investments Ltd The British Virgin Islands is known to allow British owners to hide their identity.

The second is that, according to documents obtained by The Guardian, Platinum Premier immediately agreed to sell the property. The strangest thing of all is that should be sold to a third party, for the sum of ? 21m increased massively.

According to land registry records, 21 million was paid by a second entity BVI, Rose Season Enterprises Ltd. This is controlled by the interests of the family Barclay brothers, owners of the Ritz London and the Daily Telegraph. Sources say that property has been designed as a possible home in London by Howard Barclay, the son of David Barclay.

• sources close to Barclays said he bought the lease of 31 years in the house in Belgrave Square Plate in good faith first, but not aware of the true identity of the owners. Family experts are property investors, who then put on the market Belgrave Square around ? 26 million. There is no indication of an offense for Barclays.
• Following these operations opaque ? 15m profit corporation seems to have traveled by sea, and members of associations spiritualists, AGAS seem to have won only a fraction of the market value of its apparent assets. Platinum Premier did not respond to invitations for comment sent through its local agent to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.

We asked the current president of AGAS, official Charles Hutchinson, and individual directors are not paid on such transactions. All declined to comment.

Julian Goulding, a lawyer representing the administration Guildford, wrote that the sale was made under an "independent evaluation" and "knowledge" the Charity Commission. He denied that AGAS was wrong. He refused to reveal the identity of the independent expert, if the sale was announced, and what the exact details were delivered in time for the Charity Commission
