Dyche: Ings determined for Burnley
And when asked at his press conference whether he thought Ings might have extra determination when playing against Liverpool at Anfield, the manager said: “I think his determination has been there for all to see – I think he has been delivering good performances no matter what. “He has been very good in his performance level, very good around the group and wants to do well for this football club. The rest will take care of itself.” While Ings, holder of seven England Under-21 caps, has netted five times in his last eight league games, Philippe Coutinho has been the man catching the eye of late for Liverpool, scoring stunning goals in each of his past two appearances. The Brazil playmaker has been touted by his club manager Brendan Rodgers as a contender for the player of the season prizes, and Dyche has no doubt Coutinho is “up there” with the stand-out performers of 2015 so far. The Burnley boss has also stressed that his side have become accustomed to facing star players in their comeback Premier League campaign. “There are some very highly talented players out there and Coutinho is developing into one of many in the Premier League who I think are absolutely top class,” Dyche said. “We have played against so many good players this season. (Manchester United winger) Angel Di Maria made his debut against us after being brought in for £60million – more than this club’s ever spent in its whole history, on one player.” Burnley have often performed well against major outfits this term, not least in recent contests at Manchester United and Chelsea. However, they only took a point in total from those two encounters and have struggled in that way all season, claiming victory only four times. They have won just two of their last 15 league matches, none of their last six, and they are currently 18th in the table after 27 played on 22 points – the same amount as 17th-placed QPR, who have a game in hand over them. As their battle to avoid relegation continues, it seems the Clarets will need to produce something really special to get much out of their next five fixtures, with them following the Liverpool clash by hosting Manchester City, then travelling to Southampton, before welcoming Tottenham and Arsenal to Turf Moor. And on Wednesday they take on a side very much in form, Rodgers’ men having gone 11 top-flight games unbeaten and winning eight of those. But Dyche is keen to emphasise that he and his players are relishing the challenges ahead of them. “This is the absolute reality of the Premier League,” Dyche said. “We have great growth in our side, I’m convinced of that, with the way the players have moved forwards since the beginning of the season when we were heavily questioned (while failing to win in their first 10 Premier League games). “And this is another great challenge. “This is the challenge we wanted, we grasp it and we want to run with it, take it on, deliver performances and win games. The focus is quite clear from me and my group.” Dyche has no fresh injury concerns in his squad ahead of the Anfield game. The Reds are among several clubs to have been linked with Ings, who has scored nine goals for Burnley this season and is out of contract in the summer. Dyche has been full of praise for the 22-year-old’s recent displays. Burnley boss Sean Dyche expects Danny Ings to deliver another high-calibre performance on Wednesday – but not one additionally motivated by the fact the opposition will be the striker’s reported suitors Liverpool.

“4G LTE is a standards-based network that uses radio equipment to service the terminals applications and the services and can be tailored to process a very high volume of data messages with minimal delay. The base station allows it to be independent of traffic peaks in the wider network,” it said.It added: “A secure VPN tunnel is used as an encryption mechanism to segregate APM Terminals data from general carrier data to ensure compliance with the company’s global security requirements. The new 4G LTE connectivity solution, which has already been tested and rolled out at other APM Terminals locations, meets ground level coverage and performance requirements in the entire yard with three dedicated sectors for APM Terminals and limited infrastructure deployment at terminal.”Country Manager of APM Terminals Nigeria, Mr. Klaus Laursen, said: “In recent years, APM Terminals Apapa has embarked on massive digitization of its operations and services. This is in keeping with APM Terminals’ global transformation drive.“Our customers can expect greater efficiency and higher productivity with the deployment of the 4G wireless network, as it will allow for better collaboration in our terminal operations.”Other benefits of the network, according to Laursen, include: improved wireless coverage in the yard for roaming container handling equipment (CHE); eliminate loss of critical Terminal Operating Systems updates; real time tracking of container handling equipment and improved safety for terminal employees.“An optimised, standardised, cost effective, and security compliant Industrial Wireless connectivity solution, the 4G LTE network is scalable to meet future terminal requirements. Ultimately customers will benefit from improved operations especially truck turnaround time, terminal efficiency and stability,” he said.APM Terminals Apapa recently acquired new cranes as part of an investment of 80 million for the year 2020-2021, bringing the total investment by the company in Apapa since 2006 to 438million.The investment has resulted in significant improvements in productivity, with zero waiting times for vessel berthing and a doubling of container volume.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram Eromosele AbiodunAPM Terminals Apapa has announced that it has emerged the latest terminal in the group’s rollout of public 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks at its facilities across the world.The company said in a statement that the rollout was aimed at enhancing efficiency and productivity at West Africa’s largest container terminal.“Wireless connectivity supports APM Terminals’ global initiatives such as the standardisation of Terminal Operating Systems, reporting and support; Asset Digitalization; and GPS based Position Detection Systems used for auto-locating containers in a yard.

MANCHESTER, England (AP):Jose Mourinho resumed his rivalry with Arsene Wenger today on the back of a simple message: Give me some respect.The biggest subplot to the high-profile Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford today is the renewal of the often-spiky coaching relationship between Mourinho and Wenger.The managers have clashed repeatedly over the years, either on the touchline – Wenger once shoved Mourinho in the chest following an argument in the technical area – or via verbal barbs in news conferences.Mourinho is rarely short of an opinion when it comes to Wenger, having previously called the Frenchman a “voyeur” because of his regular comments about Mourinho’s former club, Chelsea, and a “specialist in failure” during Arsenal’s nine years without winning trophy (2005-14).Yesterday, Mourinho wondered out loud why, in his opinion, Wenger gets more credit for his achievements.”Tomorrow (today) is a match between the two managers with the best record in the Premier League, now Alex Ferguson isn’t here anymore,” Mourinho said, referring to his and Wenger’s record of winning three league titles each.”Does that mean we should be respected, even in periods where our results are not the best? I think Mr. Wenger has that respect, I don’t think I have. Especially because my last Premier League title was 18 months ago, not 18 years ago. I don’t think I get that respect.”Mourinho’s most recent league title came in 2015, at the end of the second season of his second stint at Chelsea. Wenger hasn’t won the league with Arsenal since 2004.Yet, Mourinho feels he is targeted for criticism more than Wenger. Some believe Mourinho is already losing his grip at United after a number of public outbursts toward his players and what some pundits believe to be his outdated playing style compared to some of the younger Premier League managers.Mourinho said his track record of winning league titles at every top club he has managed – FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan – demands that he gets more time. And, that word again, respect.”When I was sacked at Chelsea, I was not in trouble. I had lots of offers,” Mourinho said. “I could be working in some of the biggest cubs in Europe and I waited for the chance to work at a club where I wanted to be.”The arrival of Mourinho in English football in 2004 is one of the major reasons why Arsenal declined as a major force, damaging Wenger’s reputation in the process. Fueled by Roman Abramovich’s heavy spending, Chelsea became the best team in England the season after Arsenal won the championship by going through the 2003-04 campaign unbeaten.
Associates and employees of the newly-established carrier Guyana Airways, whose registration to operate was revoked, picketed the Arthur Chung Conference Centre ahead of the Air Transport Conference organised by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on Wednesday.Guyana Airways representatives protesting the revocation of the company’s registration on Wednesday at the opening of the ICAO’s Air Transport ConferenceGuyana Airways flight attendant Shellyann Lalchand told media operatives that the company was registered in 2016 after it was found that the name was legal. With no objections within the stipulated time period, the company went ahead with the registration.“Guyana Airways Corporation was legally registered as company in 2016. We did all the research when we did the registration and the name Guyana Airways was available at that time. The registrar did their research and it was available. However, all authorities had six months within that time to object and no one did, so we went ahead with our registration and the progress of our company,” said Lalchand.After complaints were raised that a previous company operated under that name, the licence was revoked.“However, in July 2018, the Government and the registrar unregistered our company without prior notice, which is totally illogical to me because it’s two years. We feel that we’re in our legal rights.”Lalchand is contending that the name was legal since no company is presently operating under the said title.“The Government presently have us in court. When Guyana Airways did the research, the old Guyana Airways was default which means it was not in operation anymore, so Guyana Airways was available … They’re claiming that this name was not available.”The company was planning to commence operations in Guyana last October, providing daily flights to a number of Caribbean destinations.Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Colin Abrams stated during an interview with this publication that they were awaiting confirmation from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) as it relates to the acquisition of its licence, which would give the final confirmation on its operation plans.“We’d hopefully like to commence operations during October after cruiser training in Miami and we’re shooting for October. That is part of the AOC [Air Operator’s Certificate] licensing process. We have to fly trips and they observe that our trips are flown within the realms of our operating procedures that we wrote in our manuals,” he said.The aircraft to be used are not owned by the company, but would be dry-leased. Additionally, some 80 flight attendants were hired to provide the designated services.
Germany’s Nations League clash with the Netherlands on Saturday in Amsterdam will be Loew’s 168th international since taking charge in 2006, but Ballack says his 12-year reign should already be over.“I was surprised, as well as many other people, that he kept his job,” Ballack, who made 98 appearances for Germany, told Deutsche Welle.“For a long time, he worked with the team and sometimes you should say that things don’t work anymore,” added Ballack on Loew’s 12-year tenure.Last May, Loew signed a contract extension with the German Football Association (DFB) until the 2022 World Cup.However, Ballack believes Loew should have been “professional enough” to take the consequences for such a woeful campaign in Russia.The ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich midfielder says Loew should have blooded younger players rather than rely on senior players.“It’s not abnormal that a coach who won the World Cup trusts the players with whom he was successful,” said Ballack.“But that’s the difficulty, because he is responsible for that, he should be professional enough.” Germany midfielder Toni Kroos backed Loew on Thursday when asked about Ballack’s comments.“I think we’ll get our act together with Joachim Loew and I think he deserves the chance to keep going,” Kroos said at a press conference in Berlin.Kroos, a key component of Germany’s 2014 World Cup triumph, said Loew’s speeches to the squad in Russia were “as good as never before. Yet we still went out early”.– ‘Huge disappointment’ –Ballack’s sharp criticism of Loew is no surprise given their history.In 2008, as national team captain Ballack accused Loew of showing a lack of respect to senior players.Despite clear-the-air talks, tension remained between the pair until Ballack was injured before the 2010 World Cup and never played for Germany again.Former Bayern Munich captain Michael Ballack, 42, has been a sharp critic of Germany’s head coach Joachim Loew since the pair had a public falling out in 2008, when Ballack accused Loew of not showing enough respect to senior national team players. © AFP/File / Christof STACHEBallack also criticised the DFB for allowing Loew to conduct his own analyse of their dismal World Cup performances.“The World Cup was a huge disappointment and there were reasons for that,” said Ballack.“You should analyse it, really (properly), and not just say ‘we will analyse that’ when you have already made the decision to keep the coach.“That’s not a real analysis.“There should not just be one person who is making these decisions.”Ballack says a poor mentality was the reason Germany struggled in Russia.“It was a kind of mentality issue, because the quality doesn’t drop down so much in four years that you can’t challenge or you can’t advance past the first round,” Ballack said. “What was the problem? The hunger, the desire, the fighting spirit, there was much speculation.“The only true answer can be provided by the players themselves.”0Shares0000(Visited 4 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Germany’s head coach Joachim Loew should have lost his job in the wake of a woeful World Cup display, after his team finished bottom of their group, says ex-national team captain Michael Ballack. © AFP/File / SAEED KHANBerlin, Germany, Oct 11 – Michael Ballack believes Germany coach Joachim Loew should have lost his job in the wake of their woeful World Cup performance in Russia.Ballack, 42, who captained Germany between 2004-2010, is the first senior figure in German football to say Loew, who steered the country to the 2014 World Cup title, should have been fired after his team finished bottom of their group in Russia.

But in the behemoth Los Angeles Unified School District and its giant campuses, especially in impacted communities, personalized, adult attention is often lacking. The success of The Village shows what all schools need, and what too many in the LAUSD are shamefully missing. THE success of “The Village” – which has raised African-American students’ test scores by 100 points at Cleveland High School in Reseda – seems counterintuitive. After all, the program doesn’t do anything especially academic. It consists only of monthly assemblies for black students and teachers. Yet it works. There’s a lesson to be learned here. What The Village offers is the ingredient that’s too often missing throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District – respect. Given quality time to engage and interact with their teachers on a personal level, students get the sense that their concerns are taken seriously, that they are more than just a number – that someone actually cares whether they fail or succeed.
