Russia handed World Cup place as Romania penalised for ineligible player
news Topics Rugby World Cup 2019 Share on Twitter Read more Joy of Six Nations overshadows Spain’s pain and fears for the game Rugby union Share on WhatsApp Share on LinkedIn Romania have said they will appeal against the decision, which comes following a remarkable sequence of events in which the father of the England internationals Billy and Mako Vunipola has been embroiled and kills off Spain’s hopes of a reprieve after their controversial defeat by Belgium in March – an independent committee review ruled the result will stand.World Rugby announced last month that it felt the match between Spain and Belgium, refereed by a Romanian official and which Belgium surprisingly won to allow Romania to qualify for the World Cup, should be replayed. But in light of a number of complaints about ineligible players, World Rugby called for an emergency inquiry, which found that the result could not be overturned or annulled, because doing so “would undermine the respect to which decisions of referees are entitled, absent corruption or bad faith”.Russia had initially finished in third place in the qualification table, behind Romania and Spain, but advance in top spot while Germany, who were sitting in fifth and final place, move up to second and will face a playoff against Portugal – the winner of which will play Samoa. Russia last competed at the World Cup in 2011 but will now contest the opening match of the 2019 tournament against the hosts Japan.Georgia topped the Rugby Europe Championship but they had already qualified for the World Cup next year by finishing third in their pool in 2015. As a result, matches against them in the Rugby Europe Championship did not count towards qualification and while some of the games in which ineligible players were fielded were against Georgia, the review committee found enough examples of foul play elsewhere to dock sufficient points for Russia and Germany to advance.In Romania’s case, the review found that Sione Faka’osilea played in eight matches – including six that counted towards qualification for the World Cup – despite having represented Tonga. Romania’s defence included an email from Fe’ao Vunipola, the acting chairman of the Tonga federation, which stated the player in question was eligible to play for Romania. The committee accepted that both parties had acted in good faith but chose to dock Romania 30 points – five for each match played in qualifying.For Spain, the committee found that two players were ineligible having appeared for the France Under-20 side. In total the two players played in nine matches – eight in qualifying – meaning Spain were docked 40 points.The case of Belgium meanwhile, who initially finished fourth in qualifying, was more straightforward. The committee found that five players, who between them had played in six matches that counted towards qualification, were ineligible because neither they, nor their parents or grandparents had been born in Belgium.“While the independent disputes committee has determined that mistakes were not made in bad faith by Rugby Europe and some participating unions, World Rugby is extremely disappointed with the unfortunate and avoidable events,” a World Rugby statement said.Complaints that Russia and Germany had fielded ineligible players were also brought before the committee review but proved to be unfounded. Spain and Belgium have 14 days to appeal.

Nova Scotia should adopt standards to raise the quality and consistency of emergency care in every region of the province, says the province’s emergency care advisor. “Standards will ensure predictability of emergency care so patients will know that they can expect to get high-quality care in each of our 38 hospitals,” said Dr. John Ross. “Standards are a way to set out exactly what kinds of care are needed and how quick they should be provided to patients.” Dr. Ross released the emergency care standards to Health Minister Maureen MacDonald, today, Dec. 2. The standards are requirements for patient access, triage, patient transfer, staffing qualifications and site performance. The standards follow the release of Dr. Ross’s report on emergency care. “These recommended standards are raising the bar on emergency care in the province and are the final piece government needs before releasing the plan on how to improve emergency care,” said Ms. MacDonald. Dr. Ross’s standards were developed with input from health professionals who specialize in providing and managing emergency care, district health authorities and community health boards. Nova Scotia would be the first in the country to have provincewide standards. “Standards are an effective mechanism by which a uniform and thorough approach to care can be taken and a way of measuring and improving quality right across the system,” said Wendy Nicklin, president and CEO of Accreditation Canada. “The creation of these important new standards complement the Accreditation Canada Emergency Department and emergency medical standards, and their use demonstrates that safety and quality in emergency care is a priority.” Accreditation Canada helps health care organizations across Canada improve operational effectiveness. The emergency care standards would require that all provincial, regional and community emergency departments as well as paramedics use the Canadian Triage Acuity Scoring system when assessing patients. Standards are also recommended to provide certainty around patient transfer to the nearest and most appropriate facility. Staffing standards would require physicians, nurses and paramedics to meet minimum training and certification requirements, with a performance appraisal every two years. Dr. Ross also recommends standards for emergency department and hospital performance that include ambulance off-load times and maximum length of stay standards in the emergency department before admission or discharge. The standards are available at www.gov.ns.ca/health .
OTTAWA — Former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle is slated to be in Ontario court today to face trial on several assault charges.Boyle and his American wife, Caitlan Coleman, were taken hostage in 2012 by a Taliban-linked group while on a backpacking trip.The couple were freed by Pakistani forces in October 2017, along with the three children they had in captivity.Boyle was arrested by Ottawa police in December that year and charged with offences including assault, sexual assault, unlawful confinement and causing someone to take a noxious substance.The charges against Boyle relate to two alleged victims, but a court order prohibits the publication of any details that might identify them or any witnesses.He was released from jail last June with strict bail conditions that included an electronic bracelet to track his movements.The Canadian Press
MONTREAL — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is set to deliver what is being billed as a major foreign-policy speech Tuesday afternoon, calling for Canada to join an American ballistic-missile shield and take a more aggressive attitude toward China.Scheer’s speech is a policy table-setter for the upcoming federal election, and he takes direct aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau off the top, deriding his 2015 declaration that “Canada is back” on the world stage.“Canada had, in fact, not gone anywhere,” says Scheer’s prepared text. “And the profound arrogance and self-importance of Mr. Trudeau’s words foreshadowed how the new prime minister would conduct Canada’s foreign affairs: Style over substance and ego over achievements.”The Liberals fired back with their own statement before Scheer even uttered a word.“Whether it’s Andrew’s Scheer’s endorsement of Brexit chaos, skepticism on climate change, corrosive rhetoric on immigration, or uncertainty on NAFTA, the Conservative plan amounts to risk and uncertainty that would hurt Canadians and our economy,” said Liberal MP and Quebec campaign co-chair Pablo Rodriguez in a statement.Scheer’s prepared text does not mention his past support for the Brexit movement in Britain that is attempting to pull the country out of the European Union.“After 10 years of failed Conservative foreign policy, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is restoring Canada’s place in the world, including restoring and investing in Canada’s military,” says Rodriguez. “Canadians don’t want to go back to Stephen Harper’s failed foreign policy, and that’s all Andrew Scheer is offering.”Scheer’s speech calls Trudeau’s trip to India last year “the most disastrous” ever by any Canadian prime minister.The speech also says a Conservative government would reset fractured relations with China and will stand up to Russia.“I will deal with China with eyes wide open,” he says. “Although China is a primary, and certainly the strongest, propagator of authoritarian values, Russia remains a serious threat.”He says Russian President Vladimir Putin has returned his country to a “Cold War posture.”Scheer says he would join the U.S. ballistic-missile defence program — one that both previous Liberal and Conservative governments, including Harper’s, chose to not to join.The United States has gone ahead with the missile-shield program without Canada; it is designed to protect the continent from a long-range ballistic missile armed with a nuclear weapon.Scheer also makes a passing reference to the challenges of dealing with a mercurial American president, but he largely shies away from any direct mention of President Donald Trump.“The Canada-United States relationship transcends the personalities of those who occupy each respective office. And its longevity is crucial to our respective peace and prosperity. It must be strengthened.”The audience for the speech to the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations apparently includes SNC-Lavalin, whose corporate name is affixed to one of the tables in the Montreal hotel ballroom where Scheer is to speak and whose logo is on some of the event’s posters.Scheer has accused Trudeau of a cover-up in the ongoing controversy over whether the government should have given the firm a deferred prosecution agreement over the criminal charges it faces for alleged bribery in Libya.Brock Harrison, a spokesman for Scheer, said the event is not a party fundraiser and the firm won’t be giving the Conservatives any money.He also said Scheer has no meetings planned with any SNC executives in attendance.Two representatives of the Montreal council could not answer questions about the event, including the cost per ticket, and who would receive the proceeds.Mike Blanchfield, The Canadian Press

Advertisement Advertisement Secret City game designers have met extensively with the production team and toured the set of the TV series “so we can make sure that the Murdochian world is properly produced and brought to life,” Dell’Anno said.Murdoch characters will be part of the game through audio content, photos and articles in the “escape room” where the game is played, which will match the historical period, the dawn of the 20th century.The company will also launch an online contest over the next six months featuring six puzzles. Solving a puzzle will give the winner a chance to win free tickets to the game. Solving all six enters the winner in a draw for VIP passes to the Feb. 23 launch at which a member of the Murdoch Mysteries cast will be present.If the game is popular, Dell’Anno said it’s likely the company will launch a series of escape games based on the series.“We’ve definitely got a relationship with George Brown House. It’s difficult when you have a heritage space . . . it’s been a little bumpy, but they’re so excited and we have everything lined up and secured.”Tickets go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. at secretcityadventures.com/murdoch.Murdoch Mysteries airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on CBC.By Bruce DeMara “She (Jennings) is very excited about the escape games we have at Casa Loma,” Dell’Anno said.“We talked about the fact that Murdoch has been on the air for now 10 seasons. It’s a very popular Canadian show that has a very (large) audience across the world, not just in Canada. We thought, ‘What better way to keep Murdoch alive than as an immersive experience?’” he added.

Thomas Tuchel is quickly establishing himself at Paris Saint-Germain by introducing strict new rules at the club in order to ensure that the players behave themselves throughout the seasonThe German coach has already visited restaurants in Paris frequented by players such as Kylian Mbappé, Dani Alves and Marquinhos as he attempts to control their respective diets.In fact veteran right-back Dani Alves, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation after his knee injury, has actually been given a specific diet routine by Tuchel to follow.The former Borussia Dortmund coach replaced Unai Emery, who now is in charge of Arsenal, as the new manager of PSG earlier this summer and France Football has reported that he has introduced the following rules for the players to follow:
PSG ultras sent a warning letter to Neymar Manuel R. Medina – September 14, 2019 Brazilian superstar Neymar might play today his first game of the season for Paris Saint-Germain and the team’s ultras have warned him.No pasta, fast food, sweets and soft drinks.No nightclubs on weekdays.Must rest on rest days and have no parties, otherwise, there will be consequences.The Neymar problemNeymar has been known to lead a rather lucrative lifestyle outside of football and tends to regularly meet up with his famous friends through the streets of Paris.So what happens if Neymar misbehaves? Will Tuchel drop him?Unlikely, but it still looks like to could be an interesting problem for the 44-year-old to manage as he attempts to establish his rules at PSG while keeping the club’s prized asset in Neymar happy.
Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsApp Related Items:#Depressionletstalk Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppPort of Spain, April 7, 2017 – Trinidad and Tobago – Depression, one of the leading causes of disability, affects nearly 50 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean. This disease is treatable, yet six out of every ten people who have depression do not seek or do not receive the treatment they need. “This disease is a major public health problem that affects us all. It does not discriminate. It impacts people of all ages, from all walks of life,” stated Executive Director, CARPHA, Dr. C. James Hospedales in observance of World Health Day. The CARPHA Director went on to say “despite being so common and because of the stigma attached, people affected may hide it, not seek treatment or not talk about it.”“Depression: let’s talk.” is the theme chosen for this year for World Health Day. It calls attention to this serious public health concern and advocates for recognising and addressing the disease. The goal is for more people with depression, everywhere in the world, to both seek and get help.Strong links between depression and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and obesity have been identified. Mental and neurological disorders in the elderly, such as Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, and depression, contribute to the burden of NCDs. Mental disorders can also contribute to unintentional and intentional injury. Patients who are depressed are less likely to take their medicines, and persons with chronic NCDs and disability are more likely to be depressed.Dr. Hospedales said “Depression is an important risk factor for suicide, which claims the lives of many Caribbean people, including our young ones every year. There are effective strategies and treatments for preventing depression, and ways to alleviate the suffering it causes. This includes talking therapies or antidepressant medication or a combination of both. Addressing stigma and discrimination are also important strategies in programs for mental health and depression.”Health professionals are reminded of their duty of care to all persons, whether they have physical and/or mental issues. To persons who may be experiencing depression, remember with the right help you can get better. CARPHA urges you to talk with someone you trust about your feelings or seek professional help.World Health Day, celebrated on 7 April every year to mark the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO), provides a unique opportunity to mobilize action around a specific health topic of concern to people all over the world.Press Release: CARPHA#Depressionletstalk
Vancouver police reviewing deadly force policyAt first glance, it looked like a group of kids hanging outside the local pop shop. But they held candles instead of pop cans, wiped away tears and looked around the street as though Doug Combs might appear at any moment.The 16-year-old Hudson’s Bay High School sophomore was fatally shot around 11:30 p.m. Jan. 25, as he reportedly reached for a gun while fleeing from police in Vancouver’s Arnada neighborhood.“We all know death is hard, regardless of how it happens,” said Ryan Fredrich, assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel. He spoke to grieving students Friday evening at a candlelight vigil outside Pop Culture on 20th Street.Many of the students admitted they knew little about Combs’ home life or his criminal history. To them, he was, and always will be, a smiley 16-year-old.“He didn’t follow all the rules, but he was a good guy,” said Taryn Downing, 14.Court documents show Combs’ criminal record started in May when he attempted to pass a counterfeit $20 bill at the school store.When he was arrested on a warrant for violating terms of his probation in mid-January, he spent a week in juvenile detention. By Jan. 23, he was out of detention and re-enrolled at Hudson’s Bay, according to the Vancouver School District.
Dan Cohen AUTHOR The Air Force needs between 40,000 and 60,000 additional airmen to relieve an overworked force and expand capabilities in cyber and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh said last week at an Air Force Association breakfast.“Every problem we have in growing, in modernizing, increasing mission capability, is manpower related,” Welsh said.The service’s active-duty end strength is slated to increase from its current level of 311,000 airmen to 317,000 by October, reported Air Force Times. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, however, has said the service needs an additional 4,000 airmen beyond that.The Air Force’s greatest needs stem from its cyber and ISR units. It also is training more airmen in newer aircraft such as the F-35.“People are a limiting factor right now,” Welsh said, “and adding more burden to them in any way, shape or form is a bad idea.”If the Air Force remains hampered by an undersized force, its capability and response time will be limited.“The nation that’s going to win [the next war] is not the one with the biggest army,” Welsh said. “It’s not necessarily the one that has the most tanks, or longest range artillery systems. The one that’s going to win is the one with the best Air Force.”
WILMINGTON, MA — The Town of Wilmington has honored its fallen hero Sean Collier in a number of ways, including a playground at Silver Lake and a tree of life at Rotary Park.

A bear mauling in the Bird Creek area has sent one woman to an Anchorage hospital. At about 10:20 Monday morning, Alaska State Troopers got a call for help from a hiker on the Penguin Ridge trail.Download AudioAlaska State Trooper’s spokeswoman Megan Peters says Troopers from Girdwood and emergency responders reached the scene, to find Suzanne Knudson, of Indian, age 59, with serious injuries, after having been attacked by a bear sow with two cubs. ”Ms Knudson told us that while she was jogging she saw two brown bear cubs essentially come out of the brush onto the trail in front of her. One of the cubs started to come towards her, and while that was happening she said she was hit from the side of behind by the mother bear.”Some ATV riders found Knudson moments after the attack, and when Troopers arrived, an ATV driver gave the responding Trooper an ATV and guided him to Knudson. She was later medevaced to Anchorage.Peters says the woman was jogging alone about a mile up the trailhead from a popular campground when she encountered the bears. Knudson suffered puncture wounds to her neck and back injuries, but her injuries are not life threatening.Troopers say the woman was wearing headphones at the time of the attack and was not carrying bear deterant.Alaska Fish and Game has closed the trail due to bear activity.

News | Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | November 02, 2017 Siemens Healthineers Announces First U.S. Installation of Magnetom Vida 3T MRI Scanner Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine acquires new MRI scanner that supports more precise, personalized care November 2, 2017 — Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, recently became the first U.S. healthcare institution to install the Magnetom Vida 3 Tesla (3T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner from Siemens Healthineers. The scanner features new BioMatrix technology that addresses patients’ anatomical and physiological differences as well as user variability.The 70-cm scanner includes a new magnet design and up to 60/200 XT gradient performance to support high-end clinical applications. Its BioMatrix technology — a collection of sensors, tuners and interfaces — enables the scanner to adapt automatically to anatomical and physiological characteristics to provide consistent, high-quality imaging for all patient types. The scanner’s architecture and innovative applications simplify and accelerate workflows while increasing exam precision and patient comfort. Its GO technologies automate and simplify workflows from the start of the scan through quality control of the image data, resulting in increased productivity for routine examinations throughout the body. And the Eco-Power technology deactivates power-hungry components that are inactive for long periods, potentially lowering the total cost of ownership over the scanner’s lifetime.“We’re using the scanner in clinical trials and other research studies involving cancer patients and patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, as well as for cardiac imaging,” said Pamela K. Woodard, M.D., senior vice chair and division director of radiology research facilities at Washington University’s Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. “In addition to accommodating a broad range of imaging studies, the new scanner will cut some MRI scan times by half, to 30 minutes. This benefits patients by reducing the time they spend in the scanner. It also means greater scheduling flexibility and increased access to equipment for our researchers.”For more information: www.usa.siemens.com FacebookTwitterLinkedInPrint分享 Two brain metastases from primary lung cancer are contrast enhanced in the brain of a 61-year-old male.
