Chelsea 5-0 Reading: Emma Hayes’ side retain WSL title with win
Tumblr media
Chelsea have won two trophies this season and could yet win two more
Chelsea retained their Women’s Super League title as Fran Kirby scored twice in their ruthless victory over Reading.
Knowing a final-day win would crown them champions, Melanie Leupolz put the hosts ahead with a half-volley from a low corner after just 68 seconds.
Kirby guided a second into the top corner and again linked up with Sam Kerr to power home after the interval.
Golden boot winner Kerr volleyed past Grace Moloney from Kirby’s lofted pass and Erin Cuthbert bundled in a fifth.
Second-placed Manchester City won at West Ham to finish two points behind as runners-up, but needed Chelsea to slip up to have a chance of snatching top spot.
England’s record appearance holder Fara Williams captained Reading in her final game before retiring as the Royals finish the season seventh.
Emma Hayes’ side have already won the League Cup this season and clinching a fourth WSL title moves the Blues a step closer to a historic quadruple.
They face Barcelona in the Women’s Champions League final next Sunday, and have a last-16 Women’s FA Cup tie against Everton to come on 20 May.
Leupolz’s neat opener, which went through Royals keeper Moloney, was the fastest WSL goal of the season though Chelsea were not at their swashbuckling best in the first half at Kingsmeadow and had to be patient until England forward Kirby’s sidefooted finish after a one-two with Kerr.
Williams was denied a farewell goal against her old club by the alert Ann-Katrin Berger and once Kirby scored her second before the hour mark, Hayes took off Ji So-yun, Pernille Harder and Niamh Charles with an eye on next weekend’s European final in Gothenburg.
Kerr’s goal made her just the second woman to pass 20 goals in a WSL season – after Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema in 2018-19 – while substitute Cuthbert put the icing on the Chelsea cake late on.
Kerr-by combo conquers again
Tumblr media

The partnership struck up by Kirby and Australia striker Kerr has led to them becoming known as ‘Kerr-by’ by supporters.
And when either of them scored in the title-clinching triumph it was the other one who set them up.
The pair have scored a staggering 52 goals between them in all competitions and have a near telepathic understanding when the ball is in the final third, with their movement and weight of pass entirely in sync.
But the list of standout Chelsea players this season is a long one.
Germany goalkeeper Berger won the WSL’s golden glove with 12 clean sheets this season, edging out unfortunate Manchester City keeper Ellie Roebuck who missed their final league match on Sunday with an ankle injury.
Having won last season’s WSL on points per game after the season was curtailed by coronavirus, it will feel sweet for Hayes and co to have retained their crown on the pitch.

Lavender Fields, Bouillabaisse, and Calanques: The 4-Day Weekend in Marseille
Tumblr media
You already have some understanding of Provence; it’s a fancy region in France, oui? Oui, that’s right. Provence is chic, since it includes the glitzy Riviera (think Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez). It’s not as wine-drenched as Bordeaux, Burgundy, or the Loire Valley, but in place of those vineyards are purple lavender fields that roll into oblivion. They also happen to be just a short drive from Marseille, Provence’s capital and largest city (and France’s second-largest after Paris). A vacation anchored in Marseille offers all sorts of sensory rewards: There’s the smell of lavender, outdone only by the savonneries—the famed soap makers. There’s the taste of tomato-fish bouillabaisse stew, swapped for ratatouille if you’re seafood-averse (or especially hungry), chased by French wines that may or may not be Provençal. There’s the blue Mediterranean expanse to savor as the sun warms your skin, though it’s best earned by hiking through the forested Calanques National Park. After your trek, you’ll settle into a walled-in calanque cove to soak up the natural beauty and isolation. ]] Inn-to-Inn by Bike in Southern France The city itself is restless, in a good way. It has the reputation of being grittier and more grounded than Paris—which is a compliment, really. There’s rarely a quiet moment in the Vieux Port, between the ferries to Count of Monte Cristo-inspired Chateau d’If, the aperitif crowd, and the late-night local revelers. It’s teeming with top-tier restaurants that don’t know how top-tier they are. The city is grounded and world-class, without the urge to show it off. Four days is not enough, in my opinion, given how much time you could spend exploring the region. But if that’s all the time you’ve got, here are the places to spend it.
Where to Stay in Marseille
]] Hotel Dieu—InterContinental Marseille: You really can’t miss seeing Hotel Dieu, just off the Vieux Port, acting like a palatial gateway to the old town. You might even mistake it for a royal palace, though it’s actually an 18th-century hospital that was operable until the early aughts. In 2013, it reopened as the InterContinental—Hotel Dieu, and is now one of the most luxurious homestays in Marseille. There’s the Michelin-starred Alcyone onsite, serving inventive Mediterranean fare, as well as the terraced cocktail bar Capian offering aerial views of Vieux Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde. As for the rooms, well, it’s an InterContinental after all; you get stately accommodations designed in mineral tones to match the city’s rocky coast. The icing on the cake is the onsite Clarins spa, fit with a warm indoor pool, experience showers, hammams, massage and spa treatments, and an adjacent fitness studio. Le Petit Nice Passedat: The 16-room Le Petit Nice Passedat offers 5-star luxury with views of the sea—and private terraces from which to take it all in. It’s connected to the 3-Michelin-star restaurant by the same name, serving eclectic regional seafood (get the Marseille favorite bouillabaisse fish stew multiple times in town, but order the deconstructed, reimagined version of it from the fixe prix menu). Both hotel and restaurant are passionate undertakings of noted chef Gérald Passédat. While you’re a couple miles from the city center, it’s no inconvenience given the day or two you’ll spend near the coast or daytripping from the city altogether.

What to Do in Marseille
If you plan to hit the city’s key tourist attractions and want unlimited public transit access (in particular its bold-and-bright orange metro), then consider purchasing a Marseille Tourism Pass for intervals of 24, 48, or 72 hours (for 27, 37, or 43 euros, respectively). You can purchase it at various spots in Marseille: the Tourist Office and Convention Centre, La Capitainerie des Docks, Vieux-Port and Saint Charles metro stations, or Airport Information Office. Hike the Calanques: See “Day Trips” below. Vieux Port (Old Port): Marseille’s central bustle seems to swirl around the Vieux Port, a hotel- and restaurant-lined marina that stays boisterous at all hours of the day and night. You can nestle in for aperitif or a late-night bar crawl, stock up on soaps and market souvenirs, catch the boat to Chateau D’If, or marvel at religious relics like Saint Victor’s Abbey (5th century), or Saint-Ferréol les Augustins (15th century). ]] Going on an Outback Helicopter Pub Crawl Outside Darwin Buy soap: Since the 17th century, Marseille has been known for soap-making, and the city is still famous for its 72-percent-oil recipe. And because it’s more of a tradition than a reliable global export these days, Marseille soap makes for a terrific gift or souvenir from your travels. Save some room in your suitcase, and never mind if you have yet to appreciate this craft: You’ll have a hard time narrowing down which scents and shapes to bring home—and for next to nothing. (At the very least, you’ve got to get some lavender soap, since it’s Provence.) Stock up at these stores and makers: La Savonnerie Marseille, La Maison du Savon, Soap Factory — Le Serail, or The Marseille Soap Museum. Unité d’Habitation/Corbusier’s Radiant City: Le Corbusier’s architecture is characterized by the marriage of colorful expressionism with functional spaces, and this “Radiant City” apartment complex is one of the most famous structures. (It’s now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and French National Monument.) This residential complex largely influenced the brutalist movement and redefined urban living for its residents, thanks to symmetrically designed apartments and thoughtfully executed public spaces. Most notable is Le Corbusier’s use of color, which you’ll see from inside and out. Book an English tour while in town for an eye-opening tour at the complex, including a preserved apartment room. (The others are now inhabited by some of Marseille’s upper class. A pre-booked Saturday 10 a.m. tour is requisite for viewing, unless you otherwise visit the onsite cafe or stay in the onsite hotel. ]] Coastal R&R: Head to the coast for aperitifs, sunbathing, long walks on the cliff, romantic dinner views, and more. Just note that sandy beaches are few and far between and rather small, hence why most residents are totally fine lying out on the rocks. If you crave sand, point yourself to Plages du Prado, Plage du Prophete, Plage Borely, Plage de L’Estaque. If you want to relax under the sun on a reserved beach lounger, drink in hand, with a ladder into the big drink, then call one or two days ahead to Le Bistrot Plage, a restaurant and public beach club that will have you feeling like you’re at the Riviera, minus any absurd prices. 15 Beaches That Are Better in the Fall Chateau d’If and Frioul Archipelago: You might know this 16th-century army fortress as a key setting in The Count of Monte Cristo. Chateau d’If on the smallest island of the Frioul Archipelago, just two miles west of the city. Book a roundtrip ferry to and from the Old Port to the Chateau for a 45-minute tour (plus ferry travel time), and you can even hop off at Ratonneau, one of the larger of the Frioul Islands, for lunch or leisure, before returning to Marseille’s port. (Walk to the cozy but sandy Plage de Saint Estève from the Frioul Port if you want some snacks and beach time away from the city.) MuCEM and Villa Méditerranée: If you fancy some art, history, or both, then check out MuCEM, or the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, as well as the neighboring exhibition hall Villa Méditerranée. At the very least, take a walk to the end of the harbor where they reside, to gawk at their marvelous facades. ]] Cathédrale La Major: In stark contrast to the neighboring and aforementioned art museums, this massive 19th-century Byzantine-Roman-Revival–style cathedral is all-imposing. Off the Beaten Path: 27 Epic Views Every Hiker Should See Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde: Marseille’s compass rose, if you will, this hilltop Catholic basilica can be seen from nearly everywhere in the city, and offers stunning panoramas for that same fact. Parc Borély: In a city not known for its parks, the 17-hectare Borély stands out as one of Marseille’s prettiest features. Catch some fresh air in its formal gardens, mosey across the promenade to the coast, or visit the neighboring botanic gardens. La Vieille Charité Cultural Center: History, culture, art, and performance come together at the 17th-century grounds of La Vieille, in the heart of Marseille’s old quarter, Panier. Orange Vélodrome: Be it rugby, soccer, or stadium concerts, the Orange Vélodrome is probably playing host to some event while you’re in town. You can also tour the century-old, ever modernized stadium, in case you can’t catch a game.

Where to Eat and Drink in Marseille
Pizzeria Chez Jeannot: It’s not just a pizzeria—really, get the steak or the catch of the day—but it’s very much a staple tucked inside the cozy port de Vallon des Auffes. It makes for a romantic date night, or a great group dinner. Book ahead. Chez Fonfon: A perfect place to slurp bouillabaisse and savor a bottle of wine. The fancy Fonfon resides next to the aforementioned Chez Jeannot inside port de Vallon des Auffes. Yes, it’s worth coming to this nook twice in one weekend. Carlotta With: Seasonal dishes, local ingredients, all done real nice and French-like. Come for any meal, or a respite between. How to Order a Pint of Beer in Some of Europe’s Biggest Beer Hotspots Le Café De L’Aabbaye: Plan at least one hours-long aperitif here, alongside Marseille’s hip and scene-y crowd. You might even see a few French A-listers enjoying the same vices. (We did, apparently, according to our sharp-eyed and starstruck hosts.) Le Four des Navettes: Marseille’s oldest bakery (dating back to 1781), and perhaps still its most notable. Get their famed orange blossom biscuits. ]] Le Carrousel: Come here for craft beer, with a dozen on tap and two dozen by the bottle. La Côte de Boeuf: This Vieux Port staple has every cut of meat you might want—not just beef—and 400 kinds of wine with which to chase it all. 18 of the Best Modern Cocktail Bars in Europe Le Miramar: Have your pick between the bouillabaisse or bourride stews, the fixed menu (with the likes of scorpion fish and truffle bass), or the shellfish platter for two. Le Café des Épices: A deep-dive into colorful Mediterranean flavors, with dishes like octopus-pan-fried chard and confit lemon boneless rabbit. Madame Jeanne: Natural wines paired with fresh, small-menu dinners—like confit rabbit-shizo squash. Where else can you get that?

Day Trips From Marseille
Calanques Hiking: The rocky coastline of Marseille leads to the Calanques National Park, a 200-sq. mile grade-changing wonder with an equally rugged shore. It’s most spectacular from its various inlets, the actual calanques, which are walled in by dolomite or limestone and collect the crystal-blue waters in their public basin. You’ve got to earn this reward though, by parking your car and hiking through the national park itself—some of them are reachable under half an hour, others twice or triple the distance. It can be unpredictable, but think of this as a beautiful hike with a relaxing reward at the end (on rough, rock-covered beaches), rather than framing it as a beach day preceded by a hike. I think that mentality will better suit the experience—and will inform the necessary footwear you must wear for the walk. Rent a car; pack water, sunscreen, lunch, and a backup phone charger; and head to the Calanques for at least one full day of your visit—and budget the day, starting early to maximize water time. And yes, you can also boat into some calanques from nearby Cassis or other small towns. But that’s kind of cheating. Oh, and during the hottest months of the year, namely July and August, the park is susceptible to fires, and oftentimes closes for entire days. So check the park calendar the day before you go, to see the forecast and clearance for the following day. The Best Budget-friendly European Cities For Travelers ]] Avignon or Aix-en-Provence: Provence provides plenty in lieu of humbler urban day trips. The medieval, walled-in historic center of Avignon makes for a charming and humbling day trip, just one hour by car and half that by train. Or opt for Cézanne’s birthplace, Aix-en-Provence, which is buzzing with academic energy. It’s a half-hour from Marseille by train or car. Lavender fields near Luberon and Verdon: Want to see Provence’s trippy purple lavender fields? Rent a car and point it to the various farmlands between Luberon and Verdon. Do this in late spring through mid-July, and you’ll feel like you’re on another planet, with sprawling rows of purple—not to mention the soothing scent lingering in the winds. As a landmark, you can route yourself to the picturesque town of Valensole for dinner or lunch—you won’t miss the lavender fields on this drive, so long as you’re in season.

We always have a choice. That’s not so clear-cut when the subject is triggers and our response to them. The terms trigger and response suggest an uninterrupted A-to-B sequence with no breathing room for hesitation, reflection, and choice. Is that true? Are we so easily triggered? How does a trigger actually work within us? Are there moving parts between the trigger and the behavior. If so, what are they? When I was getting my doctorate at UCLA, the classic sequencing template for analyzing problem behavior in children was known as ABC, for antecedent, behavior, and consequence.  The antecedent is the event that prompts the behavior. The behavior creates a consequence. A common classroom example: a student is drawing pictures instead of working on the class assignment. The teacher asks the child to finish the task (the request is the antecedent). The child reacts by throwing a tantrum (behavior). The teacher responds by sending the student to the principal’s office (consequence). That’s the ABC sequence: teacher request to child’s tantrum to hello principal. Armed with this insight, after several repeat episodes the teacher concludes that the child’s behavior is a ploy to avoid class assignments. In his engaging book, The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg applied this ABC template to breaking and forming habits. Instead of antecedent, behavior, and consequence, he used the terms cue, routine, and reward to describe the three part sequence known as a habit loop. Smoking cigarettes is a habit loop consisting of stress (cue), nicotine stimulation (routine), leading to temporary psychic well-being (reward). People often gain weight when they try to quit smoking because they substitute food for nicotine as their routine. In doing so, they are obeying Duhigg’s Golden Rule of Habit Change—keep the cue and reward, change the routine—but they are doing it poorly. Doing thirty push-ups (or anything physically challenging) might be more effective than eating more. Duhigg provides a terse, vivid example of the cue-routine-reward loop in action—and how we can use it to break a bad habit. A graduate student named Mandy bites her nails, habitually and incessantly until they bleed. She wants to stop. A therapist elicits from Mandy that she brings her fingers to her mouth whenever she feels a little bit of tension in her fingers. The tension appears when she’s bored. That’s the cue: tension in her fingers brought on by boredom. Biting her nails is the routine that fights her boredom. The physical stimulation, especially the sense of completeness when she nibbles all ten nails down to the quick, is Mandy’s reward. She craves it, which makes it habitual. The therapist instructs Mandy to carry an index card and make a check mark on the card each time she feels the finger tension. A week later she returns to the therapist with twenty-eight check marks on the card, but she is now enlightened about the cues that send her fingers to her mouth. She’s ready to replace her routine. The therapist teaches her a “competing response”—in this case, putting her hands in her pocket or gripping a pencil, anything that prevents her fingers from going to her mouth. Eventually Mandy learns to rub her arms or rap her knuckles on a desk as a substitute for the physical gratification that nail biting provides. The cue and reward stay the same. The routine has changed. A month later, Mandy has stopped biting her nails completely. She’s replaced a harmful habit with a harmless one. I don’t take issue with the first and third segments of Duhigg’s habit loop, whatever terms we use—antecedent andconsequence, cue and reward, stimulus and response, cause and effect, trigger and outcome. I want to modify the middle part—the routine. The habit loop makes it sound as if all we need is an awareness of our cues so we can automatically respond with an appropriate behavior. That’s fine with habits. But when we’re changing interpersonal behavior, we’re adding a layer of complexity in the form of other people. Our triggered response can’t always be automatic and unthinking and habitual—because as caring human beings we have to consider how people will respond to our actions. The fingernail doesn’t care if we bite it or leave it alone. The glass of wine doesn’t care if we drink it or spurn it. The cigarette is indifferent to our craving for it. But the people in our lives care enormously whether we yield to our first unwelcome impulse (for example, rudeness, cruelty, rage) or we stifle the impulse and come up with a better choice. With people in the mix, mere habit can’t guide our behavior. We must be adaptable, not habitual—because the stakes are so much higher. If I surrender to my nicotine craving and smoke a cigarette, I hurt myself. If I lose my temper with my child, I hurt my child. In the matter of adult behavioral change, I’d like to propose a modification to the sequence of antecedent, behavior, and consequence—by interrupting it with a sense of awareness and an infinitesimal stoppage of time. My modified sequence looks like this:   I’ve isolated three eye-blink moments—first the impulse, then the awareness, then a choice—that comprise the crucial intervals between the trigger and our eventual behavior. These intervals are so brief we sometimes fail to segregate them from what we regard as our “behavior.” But experience and common sense tell us they’re real. When a trigger is pulled we have an impulse to behave a certain way. That’s why some of us hear a loud crash behind us and immediately duck our heads to protect ourselves. The more shrewd and alert among us aren’t as quick to run for cover. We hear the sound and look around to see what’s behind it—in case there’s even more to worry about. Same trigger, different responses, one of them automatic and hasty (in a word, impulsive, as in yielding to the first impulse), the other intermediated by pausing, reflecting, and sifting among better options. We are not primitive sea slugs responding with twitchy movement whenever we’re poked with a needle. We have brain cells. We can think. We can make any impulse run in place for a brief moment while we choose to obey or ignore it. We make a choice not out of unthinking habit but as evidence of our intelligence and engagement. In other words, we are paying attention. For example, in 2007 I was a guest on the Today show’s weekend edition, interviewed by Lester Holt. Guests are warned that the time on camera goes by very fast—a six-minute segment feels like sixty seconds. It’s true. My interview went well. I enjoyed myself so much, in fact, that I was stunned when I heard Lester thanking me for being on the program—the customary cue that the segment is over. I couldn’t believe it. We’d just started. I had a half dozen additional points to make. Lester’s words triggered an impulse in me to say, “No, let’s keep going.” And in fact, the words were on the tip of my tongue. But this was national television, with four million people watching. I was keyed up, mindful of every word and gesture. In that nanosecond before the foolish words could pass my lips, I paused to reflect on the consequences of doing so. Was I really considering telling the Today host that I didn’t want the interview to end? Did I want to be the guest who overstayed his welcome? In the end, I took Lester’s cue and responded with the customary, “Thank you for having me.” I’m sure anyone watching the segment’s final seconds saw a guest behaving on autopilot. That’s what most exchanges of gratitude are—formulaic gestures, neither distinctive nor attention-grabbing. A viewer wouldn’t have an inkling of the split second drama in my head during the interval between Lester Holt’s triggering words and the response I finally chose. Though it looked like rote behavior, it was anything but casual or automatic. Even with a trigger as minor as being thanked for showing up, I was weighing my options. I had a choice. If we’re paying attention (and being on national TV will increase anyone’s level of awareness), this is how triggers work. The more aware we are, the less likely any trigger, even in the most mundane circumstances, will prompt hasty unthinking behavior that leads to undesirable consequences. Rather than operate on autopilot, we’ll slow down time to think it over and make a more considered choice. We already do this in the big moments. When we go into our first meeting with the company’s CEO, we are mindful that every word, every gesture, every question is a trigger. When we’re asked for our opinion, we don’t say the first thing that comes to mind. We know we’ve entered a field of land mines where any misstep may have unappealing consequences. We measure our words like a diplomat facing an adversary. Perhaps we’ve even prepared our answers ahead of time. Either way, we don’t yield to impulse. We reflect, choose, then respond.Paradoxically, the big moments—packed with triggers, stress, raw emotions, high stakes, and thus high potential for disaster—are easy to handle. When successful people know it’s showtime, they prepare to put on a show. It’s the little moments that trigger some of our most outsized and unproductive responses: The slow line at the coffee shop, the second cousin who asks why you’re still single, the neighbor who doesn’t pick up after his dog, the colleague who doesn’t remove his sunglasses indoors to talk to you, the guests who show up too early, the passenger in the next seat wearing super-loud headphones, the screaming baby on the plane, the friend who always one-ups your anecdotes, the person standing on the left side of the escalator, and so on. These are life’s paper cuts. They happen every day, and they’re not going away. They often involve people we’ll never see again. Yet they can trigger some of our basest impulses. Some of us suppress the impulse. Whatever the reason—common sense, fear of confrontation, more urgent things to do we opt to ignore the triggering annoyance. We disarm the moment. If there are no bullets in the gun, the trigger doesn’t matter. On the other hand, some of us are easily triggered—and can’t resist our first impulse. We have to speak up. This is how ugly public scenes begin. These tiny annoyances should trigger bemusement over life’s rich tapestry instead of turning us into umbrage-taking characters from a Seinfeld episode. Even more perilous are the small triggering moments with our families and best friends. We feel we can say or do anything with these folks. They know us. They’ll forgive us. We don’t have to edit ourselves. We can be true to our impulses. That’s how our closest relationships often become trigger festivals with consequences that we rarely see in any other part of our lives—the fuming and shouting, the fights and slammed doors, the angry departures and refusals to talk to each other for months, years, decades. For example, your teenage daughter borrows the car and two hours later calls to say it’s been stolen. She left the keys in the car while she ran into a convenience store for a snack. A low-probability event (the theft) made more probable by a silly mistake (forgetting the keys). As a parent, how do you respond? Your daughter wasn’t harmed. She’s not in danger or legal peril. She’s a victim. At worst, you’ve lost property. What’s your first impulse? You can get angry. You can do a variation on “I told you so” or “You always do this,” reinforcing the message that 1) parent knows best or 2) your daughter is not as smart as she thinks she is. You can be consoling. You can ask, “Do you need a ride home?” You have options. I don’t have the perfect answer. I do know that this phone call is a supercharged triggering moment, even though it is brief and unexpected and in the grand scheme of things, small. The damage is done. It’s not a tall tale to entertain your grandkids years from now. But how you respond is important and consequential. Will this unfortunate event trigger more damage in the relationship between parent and child, or will something good come out of it? Will you give in to the perfectly natural impulse to express your scorn, or will you take a breath and make a smarter choice?

The Chase Files Daily Newscap 9/16/2019
Good Morning #realdreamchasers. Here is your daily news cap for Monday, September 16th, 2019. There is a lot to read and digest so take your time. Remember you can read full articles via Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS), Barbados Today (BT), or by purchasing a Daily Nation Newspaper (DN).
NOT BUDGING – Teachers are not backing down in their fight to be paid separately for correcting School-Based Assessments (SBAs). That was the emphatic word from Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) president Sean Spencer yesterday, as his group and the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union (BSTU) prepare to hold separate talks with their members tomorrow to thrash out a number of burning issues, including a teachers’ dress code.It means that all public schools will be closing at noon tomorrow, just over a week into the new school term, and a day after four senior schools – Alexandra School, Frederick Smith Secondary School, Grantley Adams Memorial School and Princess Margaret Secondary School – would reopen for the first time.The BUT meeting is set for 1 p.m. at Solidarity House, Harmony Hall, St Michael, while the BSTU’s is scheduled for the National Union of Public Workers’ headquarters, Dalkeith, St Michael, at 12:45 p.m.On the SBAs, Spencer was reacting to a ruling from the Trinidad and Tobago High Court last Thursday, which threw out a motion by the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) which sought to prevent teachers from marking SBAs set by the Caribbean Examination Council.

HEAT PUTTING ANIMALS AT RISK – People are not the only ones being affected by the heatwave. Chief executive officer of the Barbados Agricultural Society (BAS), James Paul, is reporting an increase in the mortality rate among chickens, though he said it had not yet reached alarming proportions. He said yesterday the high temperatures could affect the animals’ “reproductive abilities” and “disrupt the breeding cycle of some animals, especially dairy cows”, affecting next year’s milk supplies. “We are seeing increased mortality, but it is not something we want to shout about right now. There is increased mortality of chickens, the broilers and layers, especially layers. And where a farmer would have invested in layers for six months into getting them up to where they should be, he doesn’t want to lose that because that’s his production. Farmers, I think, would have done their due diligence to ensure that the birds are adequately watered,” he said.Paul urged poultry farmers to ensure they kept pens ventilated so there was no build-up of hot air in them.Some farmers canvassed by the NATION said they had lost chickens but not in large numbers. One or two said they provided iced or cool water for their chicks.(DN)

BERMUDA ON ALERT AS TROPICAL STORM HUMBERTO SETS STRENGTHEN –Forecasters have warned Bermuda that strengthening Tropical Storm Humberto is a potential threat to the island after it moved to the north of the Bahamas. As of 12PM Sunday, the storm, which is due to reach hurricane strength later in the day,  is expected to be around 230 miles west of Bermuda by midday on Wednesday as a Category 2 Hurricane. The Miami-based National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said the storm, packing 65 mph winds with higher gusts, was moving north at seven miles per hour, but is expected to make a sharp turn to the northeast on Monday. On Sunday afternoon, Humberto was located 180 miles north-northwest of Abaco, which suffered loss of life and massive damage earlier in the month from Hurricane Dorian. “Additional strengthening is forecast through Wednesday, and Humberto is expected to become a hurricane by tonight,” the NHC said in its latest advisory on Sunday. Bermuda’s Emergency Measures Organisation (EMO) has said it has begun to monitor the track of  Humberto. Minister of National Security Wayne Caines said: “The EMO is prepared and stands ready to convene should the weather system’s forecasted track pose a threat to Bermuda. “I take this opportunity to remind the public that Bermuda is in the midst of hurricane season. I strongly encourage the public to revisit your business, household and family preparedness plans.” The Bermuda Weather Service said Humberto would bring dangerous sea conditions to the island ahead of it. Humberto lashed already devastated parts of the Bahamas with heavy rain and strong winds which hampered recovery efforts after Dorian, a Category 5 hurricane, tore into the island chain’s northwestern islands with 185 mph winds, killing at least 50 people and leaving thousands homeless.(DN)
THROWN FOR A LOOP –BARBADOS TRIDENTS were put in a spin yesterday.Playing on the ground that produced the highest T20 franchise score two days earlier, the Tridents encountered a pitch that changed character and slumped to their second defeat of the 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League.The surface at Sabina Park in Jamaica was slow, offered turn and bounce and the Tridents, batting first after they were sent in for the midday start, were undone by a quartet of spinners that helped Jamaica Tallawahs end a four-match losing streak.Tridents made a fight of it in trying to defend their modest total of 140 for nine and it took the Tallawahs 18.3 overs while losing six wickets to complete their four-wicket win that gave them their first points of the tournament.Tridents captain Jason Holder admitted that he didn’t expect to see the opponents turn to spin first up, but made no excuses for his team’s batting display in which some players gifted their hands and others were outfoxed.“It [spinners using the new ball] took us by surprise, but I still felt the wicket was good enough that we could have done a little better,” the skipper said.(DN)
WI WOMEN LOSE T20 OPENER – FRESH FROM a clean sweep of the preceding One-Day International Series in Antigua, Australia women drew first blood when the three-match T20I series against West Indies commenced at Kensington Oval on Saturday night. The Australians, who are the No. 1-ranked team in both ODI and T20 formats, held the Windies – who won the toss – to a modest 106 for eight before wiping off the target for the loss of four wickets with seven balls to spare.The visitors centred their match-winning chase around an authoritative 54 not out by captain Meg Lanning who came to the crease in the second over and remained until the victory was achieved. West Indies skipper Stafanie Taylor was also her side’s leading batsman, but was forced to temper her approach as wickets tumbled around her at regular intervals after she, like Lanning, came at the fall of the first wicket. She did manage to open her shoulders on a few occasions to strike three fours and two sixes in a knock that spanned 55 balls. The home team got off to a disastrous start, losing both openers in the first over of the match – Britney Cooper comprehensively beaten and bowled by pacer Megan Schutt, and Kyshona Knight run out at the striker’s end, responding late to a call for sharp single from Taylor.(DN)
KING: ONE SONG STAYS – THE ONE-SONG Pic-O-De-Crop final, which was introduced this year, will be staying.There are no buts, ifs or maybes in Minister of Culture John King’s mind about that. And he wants the calypsonians to enter and “bring everything”.“It will stay because it is important that we build back the crowds that we used to get in the 1980s. And you can’t effect change by doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. That, as everyone knows, is a prognosis for madness,” he said, reinforcing what the chief executive officer of the National Cultural Foundation Carol Roberts-Reifer said recently.King told the NATION in an interview that this year, more people attended the finals at Kensington Oval after declining numbers in recent years.“This year they’ve had the biggest increase in audience attendance for the finals in a number of years. We have the statistics, and even just being there and looking at it, anyone could see. I’ve been saying this for many years. The only singing competition in the world I’ve heard of where the competitor has two appearances is a calypso contest. And I asked the question even when I was in it, why?(DN)

Method 1: All you should learn about F1
Method 1: All you should learn about F1
Method 1: All you should learn about F1
The Belgian GP is reside on 5 reside, 5 reside sports activities further and the BBC Sport web site
Method 1 was purported to spend a lot of the final three and a half weeks for the reason that Hungarian Grand Prix on a summer time break, however the groups and drivers appear to not have gotten the message.
The usually quiet August interval as an alternative ended up witnessing a collection of main information tales, together with on the way forward for one of many sport’s greatest icons.
Here’s a helpful catch-up information on every thing you should know as F1 returns for the decisive second a part of the season, beginning at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix on the basic Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
Alonso’s leaving
Fernando Alonso first raced in Method 1 in 2001 and he gained the world title twice in his profession
Undoubtedly the most important story of the summer time break was Fernando Alonso’s announcement that he’s to go away F1 on the finish of this season.
The 37-year-old Spaniard continues to be on the prime of his sport – which makes him with Lewis Hamilton arguably one of the best driver within the sport – however he says he can discover “larger challenges” than F1 can offer elsewhere.
What that actually means is that not one of the prime groups wish to signal him, and he doesn’t consider his McLaren workforce, after a season by which simply how far they’ve fallen has been laid naked, can grow to be aggressive within the close to future.
Alonso is prone to transfer to a full-time Indycar programme, with the purpose of successful the Indianapolis 500 and turning into solely the second man in historical past to win motorsport’s unofficial ‘triple crown’ of Monaco Grand Prix (or F1 title, relying on the way you swing), Le Mans and Indy.
Meaning F1 followers probably have solely 9 extra races to get pleasure from Alonso’s distinctive talents, fascinating persona and charisma. Many will likely be hoping that someway his McLaren will enable him to discover a option to exit on a excessive, unlikely as which will appear.
Ricciardo’s transferring – and so are many others
Daniel Ricciardo has gained two races this season however failed to complete in an additional 4
Alonso’s announcement was really the second massive driver information of the summer time, following every week or so after Daniel Ricciardo introduced his resolution to maneuver from Pink Bull to Renault for 2019.
It was identified that the likeable Australian was vacillating over signing his Pink Bull contract – he had it in his briefcase over the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend – besides, the transfer got here as one thing of a shock to most in F1.
That is due to the plain efficiency distinction between Pink Bull and Renault. They is likely to be F1’s third and fourth finest groups in the intervening time, however the hole between them is so massive that the Renaults have been lapped by the Pink Bulls at some races this season.
Ricciardo defined on Thursday in Belgium that it was “not at all a straightforward resolution” however that he felt he was turning into a bit stale at Pink Bull and needed some contemporary motivation.
He mentioned he was impressed by the presentation made to him on how Renault plan to maneuver as much as compete for wins and world titles within the subsequent few years.
Ricciardo’s resolution has set in movement a complete load of different strikes.
He will likely be replaced at Red Bull by Frenchman Pierre Gasly, whose F1 profession solely began this season, and Spaniard Carlos Sainz has been launched from his Pink Bull contract to affix McLaren.
Many different driver strikes dangle within the stability, not least thriller over whom Toro Rosso will fill each their automobiles with subsequent season. There may be additionally hypothesis over who Sainz’s team-mate at McLaren will likely be – both incumbent Stoffel Vandoorne, their reserve Lando Norris or Drive India’s Esteban Ocon – and the line-ups at each Williams and Drive India.
Which brings us on to…
Drive India have been saved
Sergio Perez began administration proceedings in opposition to Drive India to fend off a winding-up petition from one other creditor
Drive India went into the summer time break in administration however had been shortly saved by a consortium of businessman led by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, the daddy of Williams driver Lance.
That has led to the moderately odd state of affairs whereby Stroll owns one workforce however his son drives for an additional. The conclusion to that’s apparent – Lance strikes to Drive India. That can virtually actually occur for 2019, however there stays a risk it may occur earlier than then.
After that, who will likely be Stroll’s team-mate in 2019 out of Drive India’s present pairing, Ocon and Sergio Perez?
The plain conclusion is Perez, as he triggered the administration process having taken recommendation from the workforce’s administration, and his Mexican backing is price extra financially than the advantages of getting Mercedes-backed Ocon.
The Frenchman can be proving marginally superior this 12 months – so if Perez stayed, that might make the not-so-far massively spectacular Stroll Jr look higher in opposition to his team-mate.
Not solely that, however Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff is making an attempt to influence McLaren to take Ocon – and the 21-year-old is a tempting alternative as a identified and extremely rated amount to place alongside Sainz.
Vandoorne, alternatively, has regarded unconvincing alongside Alonso since he made his debut in 2017, and Norris is clearly gifted however nonetheless very uncooked, and would arguably be higher served with a second season in Method Two in 2019.
Nevertheless, whereas Drive India haven’t but essentially modified their title, legally they’re a brand new entity, and meaning they want permission from all different groups for his or her rights to prize cash to be transferred.
McLaren, Williams and Renault are holding out on that permission as a result of they concern Drive India is now successfully a Mercedes B workforce, an arrangement they fear will competitively disadvantage them.
Whether or not they proceed to carry out stays to be seen – negotiations are ongoing with reference to ensures that they are going to function as an unbiased entity.
And if Drive India (or no matter they find yourself being referred to as) are a Mercedes B workforce, would not it make sense for them to have a Mercedes-contracted driver – ie Ocon?
Moreover, McLaren are making a stand in opposition to Drive India (and by extension Mercedes), and subsequently aren’t prone to be that eager to tackle a Mercedes driver.
Stroll’s transfer – every time that’s – frees up a seat at Williams alongside Russian novice Sergey Sirotkin. Additionally they use Mercedes engines, so maybe Ocon may get that. However then relations between Mercedes and Williams have cooled on account of the prize-money switch factor.
May that open the door for a fairytale race return for reserve driver Robert Kubica, practically eight years after his profession was curtailed by the horrendous accidents he acquired in a rally crash in February 2011? Do not rule it out.
Look out, by the way in which, for Norris’ first look on monitor on a grand prix weekend, when he runs in Alonso’s car in first practice.
The title battle
After 12 races of the 2018 season, Lewis Hamilton leads the standings on 213 factors, with Sebastian Vettel second on 189 factors
That is a lot of the off-track stuff, what about on the monitor?
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton goes into the ultimate a part of the season in an apparently robust place, 24 factors away from Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel after successful the final two races.
However Hamilton’s victories got here in opposition to the run of type – on pure competitiveness, Vettel ought to have gained each races.
The German threw away victory in his house occasion when he crashed out in a late-race rain bathe, maybe partly as a result of he knew how shortly Hamilton was catching him.
And the Ferrari was the quickest automobile in Hungary, however Vettel was scuppered by Ferrari’s lack of tempo within the rain in qualifying, when he may line up solely fourth, and Hamilton took pole.
Vettel completed second, however may nonetheless have challenged Hamilton for the win had Ferrari’s strategists not made some obvious mistakes.
Can Ferrari stick with it that type at Spa, a monitor whose lengthy, quick corners is likely to be anticipated to favour the extra environment friendly aerodynamics of the Mercedes? If they will, it will be a worrying signal for Hamilton.
On the identical time, each Mercedes and Ferrari are anticipated to be introducing their third specification of engine both at this race or the one every week later in Italy. Ferrari at the moment have an influence benefit. If both makes a decisive step ahead, it too may shift the stability within the title race.
Raikkonen set for yet one more probability
Kimi Raikkonen is third within the drivers’ championship, however is but to win a race in 2018 and has not gained since returning to Ferrari in 2014
Speaking of Ferrari, they’re the one main workforce but to disclose their driver line-up for 2019. Sebastian Vettel is underneath contract however will Kimi Raikkonen get one other 12 months?
Earlier than the sudden dying of former president Sergio Marchionne final month, a call had been made to advertise Sauber driver Charles Leclerc from Sauber to interchange Raikkonen.
Nevertheless, the temper music on that has now modified.
Vettel has made it fairly clear he want to hold Raikkonen, saying on the German GP: “I like Kimi. As I mentioned, I might be joyful to proceed like that, but it surely’s not for me to say, to resolve.
“Charles, somehow, could have a fantastic profession. He is a fantastic man, he is quick, he is obtained every thing, so positively, he has no rush.”
Now the phrase is that the brand new administration of Ferrari have gone again on the Leclerc resolution and determined to stick with Raikkonen for an additional 12 months.
If that occurs, it’s presumably within the pursuits of stability and since they fear the Monegasque may nonetheless be a bit too uncooked and inexperienced for the distinctive calls for of being a Ferrari driver in solely the second 12 months of his F1 profession.
If he doesn’t get the Ferrari drive this 12 months, Leclerc is predicted to be moved from Sauber to Ferrari’s different satellite tv for pc workforce, the extra aggressive Haas, the place he’s tipped to interchange Romain Grosjean, the Frenchman who has had an incident-strewn season.
For individuals who see nice potential in Leclerc – and that’s many – it’s a disappointment, even when his final two races in Germany and Hungary had been lower than the extraordinarily excessive normal he set from the fourth race in Baku till Silverstone.
However given Raikkonen’s expertise and willingness to kowtow to the workforce’s calls for once they wish to favour Vettel, it’s comprehensible.
There was, although, one other driver doubtlessly out there.
And what it says in regards to the priorities and decision-making at Ferrari that Raikkonen can retain a top-level drive in F1 whereas Alonso – who crushed him once they had been team-mates in 2014 – is seemingly not of curiosity, the reader can resolve for themselves.

Ferrari at the moment have an influence benefit. If both makes a decisive step ahead, it too may shift the stability within the title race.
Raikkonen set for yet one more probability
Kimi Raikkonen is third within the drivers’ championship, however is but to win a race in 2018 and has not gained since returning to Ferrari in 2014
Speaking of Ferrari, they’re the one main workforce but to disclose their driver line-up for 2019. Sebastian Vettel is underneath contract however will Kimi Raikkonen get one other 12 months?
Earlier than the sudden dying of former president Sergio Marchionne final month, a call had been made to advertise Sauber driver Charles Leclerc from Sauber to interchange Raikkonen.
Nevertheless, the temper music on that has now modified.
Vettel has made it fairly clear he want to hold Raikkonen, saying on the German GP: “I like Kimi. As I mentioned, I might be joyful to proceed like that, but it surely’s not for me to say, to resolve.
“Charles, somehow, could have a fantastic profession. He is a fantastic man, he is quick, he is obtained every thing, so positively, he has no rush.”
Now the phrase is that the brand new administration of Ferrari have gone again on the Leclerc resolution and determined to stick with Raikkonen for an additional 12 months.
If that occurs, it’s presumably within the pursuits of stability and since they fear the Monegasque may nonetheless be a bit too uncooked and inexperienced for the distinctive calls for of being a Ferrari driver in solely the second 12 months of his F1 profession.
If he doesn’t get the Ferrari drive this 12 months, Leclerc is predicted to be moved from Sauber to Ferrari’s different satellite tv for pc workforce, the extra aggressive Haas, the place he’s tipped to interchange Romain Grosjean, the Frenchman who has had an incident-strewn season.
For individuals who see nice potential in Leclerc – and that’s many – it’s a disappointment, even when his final two races in Germany and Hungary had been lower than the extraordinarily excessive normal he set from the fourth race in Baku till Silverstone.
However given Raikkonen’s expertise and willingness to kowtow to the workforce’s calls for once they wish to favour Vettel, it’s comprehensible.
There was, although, one other driver doubtlessly out there.
And what it says in regards to the priorities and decision-making at Ferrari that Raikkonen can retain a top-level drive in F1 whereas Alonso – who crushed him once they had been team-mates in 2014 – is seemingly not of curiosity, the reader can resolve for themselves.
