One of the many things thrown at referees in the sport is criticism. Particularly when they stop a bout early, don't punish fouling or let fights go on too long. Judges are open to more abuse given how they score a contest is subjective. It should be noted some criticism is deserved and there is an obligation on media and stakeholders in the sport to question and query to ensure standards are met but sometimes it also goes too far, particularly online. Yet referees have to make decisions in high-pressure circumstances, often with health of the fighters firmly in mind. "There are situations where you get criticism and certain things are regarded as, if you like, 'controversial'," said Edwards. "You get [made] aware of criticism, but I've always taken the view that comes with the territory. "And if you don't want to be in that situation, you shouldn't be doing it. "Obviously there might be situations where you do something and you think, 'I'll learn from that' because we're all learning all of the time and you can never say you've stopped learning." But social media means the negative examinations are very public. "Personally, I don't look at social media or anything like that," said Edwards. "Some do. I just take the view I'm there to do a job. I do it as best I can and get on with it." The risks of boxing are too well known, of course. Unfortunately death can happen. The boxers' corners know their fighters best but are invested in their success so sometimes can miss the time to pull a fighter out. Nobody is closer than the referee. "You do have to be always on it to notice if there is a change in one boxer, starting to tire, starting to become outclassed," said Edwards. "You develop that skill and that almost like a sixth sense for seeing what changes can take place. The corners know exactly what their boxer is capable of and see signs because, of course, the corner know the boxer so well. "But you [the referee] do have, if you like, the best seat in the house in te...

eugenesergeev/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Note: I have covered Golar LNG Partners ( GMLPF ) previously, so investors should view this as an update to my earlier articles on the company. Five years ago, New Fortress Energy ( NFE ) acquired Golar LNG Partners in a $1.9 billion transaction and subsequently delisted the partnership's Preferred Units from Nasdaq. With the Preferred Units still trading on the OTC Expert Market as of today, most retail investors remain precluded from transactions in the securities except for closing existing positions. However, a limited number of brokers seem to permit opening new positions. In case of doubt, investors should contact their broker. In recent years, debt-laden parent New Fortress Energy has stripped the company of its assets and left the partnership as an empty shell without sufficient funds to cover approximately $3 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to holders of the company's Preferred Units. To avoid an adverse audit opinion, New Fortress Energy provided an " irrevocable letter of support " as outlined in Golar LNG Partners' 2023 financial statements on page F-10 (emphasis added by author): The ability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from the ultimate parent undertaking, NFE. As of April 29, 2024, the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, the Partnership concluded that it is probable that its continued funding from NFE will be sufficient to fund dividends on the preferred stock, operating expenses, financial commitments, and other cash requirements for at least one year after the issuance date of these financial statements. NFE also provided an irrevocable letter of support whereby NFE has committed to fund such commitments. However, with New Fortress Energy's financial woes mounting, Golar LNG Partners suspended distributions last year. On October 1, the partnership released updated financial statements that inclu...

For profitable companies, price based multiples such as P/B can help you see how much investors are paying for each dollar of net assets, which is a simple cross check against more complex cash flow models.

Discover 52 high quality undervalued stocks or create your own screener to find better value opportunities. When these projected cash flows are discounted back to today, the model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of about $122.00 per share.

Is It Too Late To Reassess Palantir Technologies (PLTR) After Its 65.7% One Year Rally? finance.yahoo.com

格隆汇3月21日｜受中东局势影响，国际油价在高位徘徊。为应对航空燃油涨价，美国联合航空公司、新西兰航空公司等多家航空运营商已宣布削减定期航班数量。美联航首席执行官斯科特·柯比20日说，该公司将在第二和第三季度削减5%的定期航班，以应对油价高企带来的航空燃油成本飙升。新西兰航空公司早在本月12日就宣布，将在5月初之前削减大约1100架次航班，涉及该航司约5%的国内和国际定期航班，影响约4.4万名航空旅客。北欧航空公司也是首批因燃油涨价削减定期航班的航司之一，17日宣布4月将削减1000架次定期航班。该公司在一封电子邮件中表示：“整个欧洲航空业目前正感受到突如其来的燃油冲击所致压力。”越南有关部门提醒该国航空业，因燃油供应短缺的风险加剧，需为4月起可能出现的航班削减做好准备。美国达美航空公司表示，如果燃油价格持续居高不下，该公司有能力“灵活调整运力”。

衝鋒隊開5槍制服葵涌街頭持刀揮舞男子 警方：開槍是別無選擇 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】葵涌三名警員先後開五槍制服懷疑有精神問題的43歲持刀男子，男子胸部及大腿中槍送院，情況危殆，警方強調開槍是別無選擇。 警方封鎖往荃灣方向，在一段青山公路蒐證，路面遺下鐵枝、血漬。警方星期六凌晨起接獲多名市民舉報，有一名男子持30厘米長的刀及一米長鐡支，在荃灣港鐵站及葵涌昌榮路徘徊，其後在青山公路向私家車揮舞利刀。衝鋒隊到場施放胡椒噴霧，試圖制服他不果後開槍。 新界南總區刑事總部高級警司姚永勤：「這名人士繼續利用身上武器衝向我們同事大叫『斬死你』，同事在這個警告無效後，我們一名衝鋒隊同事向這名男子開兩槍。」衝鋒隊三人最終先後開五槍，男子右胸及右大腿中槍，被送往瑪嘉烈醫院，警方形容是別無選擇下才開槍，是艱難決定。 姚永勤：「現階段不能說哪一槍中、哪一槍不中，到最後兩槍能制服疑兇，我們馬上停止相關的武力。見到這名男士穿裙，亦在喃喃自語、自己說話，前後踱步，一些比較不太正常的行為。」警方初步懷疑他精神有問題，沒有犯罪紀錄，正調查犯案動機。警方又在現場搜索彈頭及相關證物，涉事路段曾一度封閉。

澳職，奧克蘭FC主場失分，以1-2不敵FC麥克阿瑟，錯失升上榜首機會。 白衫的FC麥克阿瑟上半場攻入兩球，拉菲爾杜蘭轉身起腳，輕輕省到對手入網，協助客隊11分鐘開紀錄。到完半場前1分鐘，中堅烏斯高再接應傳中頂入，麥克阿瑟帶著兩球優勢，返入更衣室。 後衛基特活列治換邊後補時3分鐘，頂入追近，但為時已晚，奧克蘭FC都輸1-2，踢多一場下，落後紐卡素噴射機1分，排第二。麥克阿瑟排第七。

随着全球各大央行密集释放通胀不确定性上升的信号，市场风险偏好整体承压。除油价外，全球股市、传统避险资产以及金属价格均出现不同程度下跌，呈现出“同步走弱”的特征。 美以伊冲突骤然升级，霍尔木兹海峡 航运 中断，让国际油价在短短20天内暴涨近50%，布伦特原油 期货 在3月19日突破每桶110美元。 油价飙升重新点燃了通胀之火，迫使各国央行重新审视各自的货币政策路径。 本周是中东冲突升级后的首个“超级央行周”，全球约20个央行召开货币政策会议，几乎涵盖了占全球经济体量约2/3的经济体。 除了澳大利亚央行宣布加息，美联储、日本央行、欧洲央行和英国央行等大多数央行维持利率不变，在“抗通胀”与“稳增长”之间艰难权衡。 重燃通胀担忧 霍尔木兹海峡，这条承载着全球海运 石油 贸易量约1/4的关键航道，在过去20天里几乎陷入停滞。 相关海事和贸易数据平台显示，自2月28日美以伊战争爆发以来，仅约90艘船只穿越了霍尔木兹海峡，其中包括油轮。 据新华社报道，美国白宫新闻秘书莱维特3月18日表示，美方正同欧洲和中东地区盟友“保持沟通”，要求他们“加大力度”协助美国保障霍尔木兹海峡安全通航。近日，美国总统特朗普连续催促欧洲及其他地区盟友参与霍尔木兹海峡护航，并抱怨一些盟友对协助美国“不热衷”。 当地时间3月19日，法国、英国、德国、意大利、荷兰和日本在一份联合声明中宣布，准备共同采取适当措施，保障霍尔木兹海峡的航行安全。 对此，国际海事组织秘书长多明戈斯19日表示，海军护航不是解决当前霍尔木兹海峡危机的长期可持续方案。只有冲突结束，航运才不会沦为附带损害的牺牲品。 同日，伊朗《德黑兰时报》社交账号称，伊朗议会正在推动一项法案，根据该法案，如果霍尔木兹海峡被用作船舶交通、能源和粮食运输的安全通道，相关国家有义务向伊朗支付通行费和税款。 除了霍尔木兹海峡运输受阻，中东产油设施遭到袭击也给全球能源市场带来冲击。卡塔尔内政部和卡塔尔能源公司3月18日表示，该国拉斯拉凡工业城当天因受到 导弹 袭击而起火，造成大面积损坏。以色列3月18日袭击伊朗 天然气 田，随后伊朗紧急警告，沙特、阿联酋和卡塔尔三国石油设施成为“合法打击目标”。 与此同时，美国正试图降温。美国财政部长贝森特3月19日称，美国可能在未来几天内取消对已在海上的伊朗石油的制裁，以缓解中东冲突期间价格上涨带来的压力。与此同时，在被问及向伊朗...

For me, better timing, fewer platitudes, less certainty and more listening and empathy are helpful ways of connecting with people in the loneliest of times Some things are easy to talk about; infertility is not one of them. I speak from experience – of miscarriage and unsuccessful rounds of IVF – and I’ve heard some clangers along the way. I forgive you all. Well, most of you. But I also come at it as the presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. Three decades into live talk radio, I listen for a living. I’m adept at noticing micro-expressions, the pauses, the shifts in tone, the feelings that sit between the words on and off air. And I keep wondering: why are we so bad at talking about infertility? This is even something that, until now, I haven’t spoken publicly about. Nuala McGovern presents Woman’s Hour Monday, the Woman’s Hour Guide to Life, and SEND in the Spotlight podcasts on BBC Sounds. On Sunday 22 March’s episode of The Woman’s Hour Guide to Life, Nuala and her guests discuss navigating conversations around infertility. Continue reading...

British pet owners who want to take their furry friends elsewhere in Europe have been warned not to try to dodge expensive health certificates by using a pet passport issued abroad. Before Brexit, taking a cat, dog or ferret to the EU was relatively simple: the Pet Travel Scheme meant an animal needed a microchip, vaccination against rabies, a pet passport and, for dogs, there were also requirements concerning tapeworm treatment. But since 2021 the process has become more cumbersome – and expensive – with the pet passport component replaced by the animal health certificate (AHC). This document must be issued within the 10 days before entry to the EU and is valid for four months for onward travel within the EU and re-entry to Great Britain. A slightly simpler process involving a pet travel document is in place for travel from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. Pet passports can still be issued to owners resident in Northern Ireland. However, social media sites including Reddit and Facebook are replete with pet owners reporting that they have bypassed the need for an AHC by obtaining a pet passport from a vet within the EU, with this approach often taken by people in the motorhome and “van life” community.

Photograph: David Nicholl Dr David Nicholl, a consultant neurologist in Hagley, Worcestershire, has an EU pet passport for his jack russell, Lily, noting it was much cheaper than an AHC. “[There is] loads of hassle and [it is] very expensive with the existing system,” he said. Nicholl says he arranged an EU pet passport for Lily in Belgium and has had no difficulties in using it, adding that the document does not show the address of the owner. However, some experts have warned the approach could backfire. Dr Elizabeth Mullineaux, the senior vice-president of the British Veterinary Association, says EU guidance states that the European pet passport – for dogs, cats and ferrets – is only issued to pet own...

Sohrab Faqiri spent Eid, the Muslim festival to mark the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, looking for the grave of his brother, killed in a massive Pakistan airstrike on Kabul this week. Pakistan’s bombardment campaign, on what it says is terrorist and military infrastructure in neighbouring Afghanistan, appeared to have gone catastrophically wrong. A rehabilitation centre for drug addicts was hit on Monday night, according to the United Nations and the Afghan authorities. The UN’s preliminary death toll is 143 people, while the Taliban administration puts the figure at more than 400 dead. View image in fullscreen A victim of the deadly strike receives treatment. Photograph: Samiullah Popal/EPA Faqiri’s brother, Qais, a tailor and father of a 10-year-old boy, was being treated for the last three months at the facility, called Omid or “Hope”. Faqiri rushed there after the airstrike, but could not find him among the survivors. He spent the next two days visiting hospitals in Kabul, but there was no sign of Qais. Then, by chance, he saw a video of a mass burial by the authorities of the airstrike victims and spotted his brother. On Thursday – marked as Eid in Afghanistan – he went to the hillside graveyard on the edge of Kabul, where the burial took place. There, he found rows of stones planted along lines of upturned earth. But there were no names to identify any of the bodies. “Worst of all is that his grave is not known to us,” Faqiri said, speaking at the cemetery, bursting into tears. “This is the saddest moment, for a person on Eid day to search for the body of his brother.” He has not had the heart yet to tell their mother.

Vítor Pereira and Ryan Yates talk up chances of following Europa League success with a vital victory at Tottenham The night before Nottingham Forest prevailed against Midtjylland , going the distance in central Denmark to tee up a first European quarter-final 30 years to the day since their last, Ryan Yates was doing a spot of homework. The Forest club captain found himself flicking through the Champions League offering at the team hotel in Silkeborg, half an hour east of Herning, but naturally lingered on Tottenham’s rematch with Atlético Madrid. A trip to Spurs, of course, is next and, like Forest, they find themselves in a perilous predicament near the bottom of the Premier League. Vítor Pereira has done whatever the opposite of dressing up Sunday’s meeting as just another game is, stressing with eight games to go the Premier League must come first, even if they have rekindled fading hopes of European glory. It has been an unexpectedly satisfying week for both sides, Forest overturning a first-leg deficit to advance, and Spurs building on an encouraging display, and result, at Liverpool by registering a welcome first win under Igor Tudor , whose side exited on aggregate.

The historic port is a cosmopolitan gateway to global flavours and traditions. And it’s barely on the tourist trail. Take a tour … Many years ago, I swapped languages with a young woman from Trieste. It was during one of our half-English, half-Italian practice hours that she introduced the idea of Trieste, on a map, as possessing the shape of a stomach. She described her city (which is also a province) as being suspended: pressed by the sea on one side, enveloped by Slovenia and the Karst hills on the other, with a short oesophagus attaching it to the body of Italy. She also suggested I read la Conscienza di Zeno – Zeno’s Conscience – Italo Svevo’s devilishly funny hymn to procrastination, self-delusion and walking around in search of a suitable cafe, and warned me about the ruffian wind. It would be almost two decades before I finally visited Trieste, bringing with me enough anticipation to tempt disappointment (unfounded) and the itinerary of a food writer. I carried the image of a stomach too, fitting in so many ways for this remarkable food city, not least for making its geography vivid, which in turn explains so much about its history. Once a coastal fishing village, colonised by the Romans, raided by the Venetians, entrusted to the Habsburg monarchy in Vienna (for four centuries, which included a prolonged heyday), appended to the newly united Kingdom of Italy, fought over, briefly independent, handed back to Italy in 1954, from which point it developed into what is today one of the most outward looking and dynamic cities in Italy. Trieste, it seems, has digested and assimilated, meaning its complex history is reflected in the architecture, dialect, music, literature, sports, civic nature and multifaceted food culture: surely one of the most intriguing and rewarding in Italy.

You might feel enough has already been said about the Chelsea huddle. You would be wrong, of course. It is impossible to say enough about the Chelsea huddle. A week on, that moment when the Chelsea players formed a scrum on the centre circle around what appeared at first glance to be a depressed hatstand, but turned out to be the immovable figure of referee Paul Tierney, is still the most moreishly haunting image of the season. What did it mean? Even the basic geometry is fascinating, with its fractal-like symmetries. Here we have the Chelsea players making a circle inside a circle around a sphere on top of a smaller circle, above which a single bald head protrudes like an orbital moon. The question of why has been part-explained as simple superstition. Chelsea did this before their game in Naples and won. In which case it’s a good thing they ended up losing to Newcastle last Saturday or it would have been necessary not just to carry on doing it but to force Paul Tierney to stand in the middle of the huddle looking noble and nonchalant and vaguely interested before every game until the end of the season. More interesting is the question of why it has proved so upsetting. Location is key here. By gathering on the centre spot, Chelsea are taking possession of the room, the ohmic centre of mother football. They’re also standing in the opposition half. It’s a personal space invasion. It’s flooding the zone. It’s armrest one-upmanship. It’s dominating the conference buffet breakout overflow.

But there is an echo here of a deeper online culture, the Looksmaxx-zone, a popular masculine status register where young men measure their shoulder width against some uber-incel ideal and hit their faces with hammers so that women will be hard-wired to find them attractive [narrator’s voice: and yet women will not be hard...

It was the final shot in a brutal civil war that left Newcastle reeling for a year. For Paul Robinson, though, Ruud Gullit’s decision to start him over Alan Shearer in the Tyne-Wear derby felt like a natural progression. Tensions between Gullit and Shearer had been brewing since the Dutchman replaced Kenny Dalglish on 27 August 1998. Two days short of the first anniversary, everything came to a head when Newcastle’s talisman was not selected to start against Sunderland for the biggest game in the club’s calendar. Four matches into the Premier League season, Newcastle were winless and in the bottom three. Robinson was a 20-year-old striker, born and raised in Sunderland, who had joined Newcastle from the fourth-tier side Darlington in March 1998. Looking back, as Newcastle prepare to host Sunderland again on Sunday, he wonders whether he was a pawn in a bigger story, but at the time there was no fear. Shearer had been sent off in the season’s opening fixture, against Aston Villa, in which Robinson made his debut, and the derby was the first after his ban. “I started the game before, against Wimbledon, and got man of the match,” Robinson says. “I thought: ‘Well, yeah, why shouldn’t I start?’ In hindsight you don’t think you should be taking the place of the England captain, but I was young and full of myself.” View image in fullscreen Paul Robinson in the infamous Tyne-Wear derby in 1999. Photograph: Mirrorpix/Getty Images Failing to recall Shearer felt like Gullit was gambling everything for the ultimate jackpot. Win the game and with it he would win the power struggle. It was a huge story at the time. “I wasn’t told I was starting,” Robinson says of the buildup. “It was a day or two before and I was in one team in training, Alan and Dunc [Duncan Ferguson] were in the other. It didn’t even click. When the team was announced, there were no nerves. It was a derby and I was playing in it. I was ready.” Supporters were furious about Shearer’s absence and Robinson’s Sunde...

The Iranian Navy guided an Indian liquefied petroleum gas tanker through the Strait of Hormuz last week, allowing the ship to pass on a pre-approved route following diplomatic engagement by New Delhi, according to a senior officer onboard the vessel. The officer asked for anonymity, as the crew of his vessel — one of two Indian ships that made the crossing — were not permitted to talk to the media. His account appears to confirm analysts’ views that Tehran is trying to impose a traffic control system through the strait, permitting safe passage for friendly vessels while leaving others fearful of attack. During the crossing, the officer’s ship was in contact with the Iranian navy by radio, he said. The Iranians took details of the ship’s flag, name, origin and destination ports, and the nationality of the crew members — all of whom were Indian — and guided them on an agreed course. “It seems that Iran is allowing select vessels to transit Hormuz after verification which takes place during the ships’ transit inside Iranian waters,” said Martin Kelly, head of advisory at EOS Risk Group. “While ships are being allowed to transit, it is mostly only to the benefit of Iran.” Iran’s threats to ships passing through the strait give the government in Tehran leverage over global energy markets , pushing up prices and creating fears of shortages of oil , natural gas , cooking fuel and fertilizer . Around a fifth of the world’s oil normally passes through the channel. Since the beginning of the war in late February, several ships have been struck by missiles or drones in the strait, at least two seafarers have died, and insurance costs have soared . There have been reports that Iran has mined the waterway. Before they entered the strait last week, sailors onboard the LPG tanker prepared their life rafts, the officer said. They had been anchored in the Persian Gulf for around 10 days when they were told on the morning of Friday March 13 that they had been granted permission to ma...
