Blackpool set out in search of their first League One win since September when they go head to head with Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium on Tuesday. Having lost the last three meetings between the teams, the Pirates will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors and make it five straight home games without defeat in the league since the start of October. © Imago Bristol Rovers snapped their run of three back-to-back defeats on the road on Saturday as they edged out a resilient Mansfield Town side 1-0 when the two teams squared off at the One Call Stadium. A combined 32 shots were fired in the end-to-end contest, but Luke McCormick 's 49-minute efforts made the difference as the visitors held on to their narrow lead to hand Mansfield a second consecutive defeat. Prior to that, Bristol Rovers avoided an upset in the FA Cup first round on November 2, when they picked up a 3-1 extra-time victory over National League side Weston Super Mare, before playing out back-to-back stalemates against Lincoln City and Crawley Town in the league. Matt Taylor 's men now return home, where they are unbeaten in five of their last six matches across all competitions — claiming three wins and two draws — with a 3-2 defeat against Exeter City in the EFL Trophy on October 29 being the exception. Bristol Rovers have picked up 21 points from their 16 League One matches to sit 13th in the standings but could move level with 10th-placed Mansfield with a win on Tuesday. © Imago Blackpool, on the other hand, were left spitting feathers at the weekend as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Bolton Wanderer after conceding a 94th-minute winner at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. Kyle Joseph 's 32nd-minute strike saw Blackpool go into half time with the lead for the first time in five games but George Thomason restored parity in the 53rd minute before Aaron Collins completed the Bolton comeback in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Following Saturday's result, the Seasiders have now gone eight back-to-back league matches without a win, losing five and picking up three draws, having won each of their four games preceding this run. This drop-off in form has been owing to their struggles at the defensive end of the pitch, where Blackpool have managed just one clean sheet in the league since a 3-0 victory over Burton Albion on September 28 and have conceded the most goals in the division (30). Off the back of finishing eighth last season and missing out on the playoffs by just three points, Steve Bruce 's side currently sit 19th in the League One table, level on 17 points with Rotherham United and Wigan Athletic. While Blackpool will be looking to stop the rot on Tuesday, they have lost each of their last four league games on the road, conceding 12 goals and scoring twice since the start of October, and will need to show their mettle at the Memorial Stadium. © Imago Bristol Rovers remain without the services of 33-year-old Jack Hunt , who is set to sit out his fourth consecutive game after coming off injured against Weston Super Mare on November 2. Teenage defender Lino Sousa has missed the last two games and is a doubt for Tuesday's clash while 25-year-old Joel Senior continues his lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury in August. Blackpool will be without several key players down the spine of the team as the midfield trio of Albie Morgan , Sonny Carey and Irishman CJ Hamilton have been ruled out through injuries. English forward Jake Beesley has missed the last four games since coming off injured against Liverpool Under-21 on November 6 while the defensive duo of Elkan Baggott and Andy Lyons continue their spells on the sidelines. With his strike against Bolton, Joseph now has seven league goals under his belt this season and we expect the 23-year-old striker to spearhead the Seasiders' attack once again. Bristol Rovers possible starting lineup: Griffiths; Moore, Taylor Wilson, Mola; Lindsay, Conteh; Forde, McCormick, Hutchinson; Martin Blackpool possible starting lineup: O'Donnell; Gabriel, Offiah, Casey, Husband; Evans, Norburn; Coulson, Apter, Embleton; Joseph Buoyed by their hard-fought win over Mansfield, Bristol Rovers will head into Tuesday's clash with renewed confidence as they look to end their three-game losing streak against Blackpool. The Seasiders' form on the road is currently nothing to write home about and we see them struggling at the Memorial Stadium, where Taylor's men are unbeaten in four straight league matches.

Former Leicester City star Danny Simpson has revealed UFC star Paddy Pimblett will be his new training partner after the Premier League winner made his boxing debut. Simpson etched his name into Premier League history after being part of Leicester's stunning title triumph in 2015-16 but has since retired from football and taken up boxing. His first fight on the Misfits boxing card was against YouTuber Danny Aarons in August, with judges unable to separate the pair after scoring the contest as a split draw. Simpson was a relieved man that the fight didn't end in defeat after agreeing to wager his Premier League winners' medal against Aarons, who also bet his YouTube play button award for reaching 1million followers. Now the 37-year-old is upping the ante in his fighting career after announcing he will begin working with UFC fighter Pimblett as he bids to build on his draw against Aarons. Pimblett is one of UFC's most exciting fighters after enjoying a run of eight straight victories. The Liverpudlian secured an impressive win over King Green in July and is currently taking some time out of the ring. And it looks like Paddy "The Baddy" will be helping prepare Simpson for his next bout after the former right-back posted a picture of the pair together on social media. Simpson uploaded the picture on Instagram , showing the pair smiling while enjoying some drinks on a night out. He wrote: "Meet my new training partner," while tagging Pimblett. He is still looking for a new opponent but has teased a rematch with Aarons after an even contest that he believes he won. Speaking after his fight this summer, he said: "I'm obviously going to say that I thought I nicked it. This week has been one of the craziest weeks of my life. "We said we were going to have fun in here and I think we did. I think Danny knows I tried to jump in last minute and tried to do everything I could in the five weeks. Maybe I'll have the chance to have a full camp and I'd love to come back and have another go." Simpson started his career with Manchester United but only played three times for the Red Devils and ended up starring for a total of 10 clubs, including Newcastle United, QPR and Huddersfield Town.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday Shopping Set To Break Sales Records

Artificial intelligence. Abortion. Guns. Marijuana. Minimum wages. Name a hot topic, and chances are good there's a new law about it taking effect in 2025 in one state or another. Many of the laws launching in January are a result of legislation passed this year. Others stem from ballot measures approved by voters. Some face legal challenges. Here's a look at some of the most notable state laws taking effect: FILE - Director of Photography Jac Cheairs and his son, actor Wyatt Cheairs, 11, take part in a rally by striking writers and actors outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) California, home to Hollywood and some of the largest technology companies, is seeking to rein in the artificial intelligence industry and put some parameters around social media stars. New laws seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use. Parents who profit from social media posts featuring their children will be required to set aside some earnings for their young influencers. A new law also allows children to sue their parents for failing to do so. FILE - In advance of Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri's Congressional testimony, to illustrate the harms children face on social media, parent activists brought an "Instagrinch" to the Capitol building in Washington, Dec. 7, 2021. (Eric Kayne/AP Images for ParentsTogether, File) New social media restrictions in several states face court challenges. A Florida law bans children under 14 from having social media accounts and requires parental consent for ages 14 and 15. But enforcement is being delayed because of a lawsuit filed by two associations for online companies, with a hearing scheduled for late February. A new Tennessee law also requires parental consent for minors to open accounts on social media. NetChoice, an industry group for online businesses, is challenging the law. Another new state law requires porn websites to verify that visitors are at least 18 years old. But the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a challenge. Several new California measures aimed at combating political deepfakes are also being challenged, including one requiring large social media platforms to remove deceptive content related to elections and another allowing any individual to sue for damages over the use of AI to create fabricated images or videos in political ads. FILE - Parents, students, and staff of Chino Valley Unified School District hold up signs in favor of protecting LGBTQ+ policies at Don Antonio Lugo High School, in Chino, Calif., June 15, 2023. (Anjali Sharif-Paul/The Orange County Register via AP, File) In a first nationally, California will start enforcing a law prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require staff to notify parents if their children change their gender identification. The law was a priority for Democratic lawmakers who wanted to halt such policies passed by several districts. FILE - Christian F. Nunes, president of National Organization for Women speaks as abortion rights activists and Women's March leaders protest as part of a national day of strike actions outside the Supreme Court, Monday, June 24, 2024, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File) Many states have passed laws limiting or protecting abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a nationwide right to the procedure in 2022. One of the latest is the Democratic-led state of Delaware. A law there will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. FILE - Gov. Tim Walz speaks before a crowd gathered for a rally on the steps of the state Capitol in St. Paul, Minn., Wednesday evening, Aug. 7, 2019. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, center left, and his wife Gwen Walz, center right, stand by him. (Jeff Wheeler/Star Tribune via AP, File) A new Minnesota law prohibits guns with "binary triggers" that allow for more rapid fire, causing a weapon to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. In Delaware, a law adds colleges and universities to a list of school zones where guns are prohibited, with exceptions for those working in their official capacity such as law officers and commissioned security guards. Kentucky is becoming the latest state to let people use marijuana for medical purposes. To apply for a state medical cannabis card, people must get written certification from a medical provider of a qualifying condition, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly four-fifths of U.S. states have now legalized medical marijuana. Minimum wage workers in more than 20 states are due to receive raises in January. The highest minimum wages will be in Washington, California and Connecticut, all of which will top $16 an hour after modest increases. The largest increases are scheduled in Delaware, where the minimum wage will rise by $1.75 to $15 an hour, and in Nebraska, where a ballot measure approved by voters in 2022 will add $1.50 to the current minimum of $12 an hour. Twenty other states still follow the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. FILE - A man talks on his cell phone while driving in Los Angeles, Monday June 30, 2008. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File) In Oregon, using drugs on public transit will be considered a misdemeanor crime of interfering with public transportation. While the measure worked its way through the legislature, multiple transportation officials said drug use on buses and trains, and at transit stops and stations, was making passengers and drivers feel less safe. In Missouri, law enforcement officers have spent the past 16 months issuing warnings to motorists that handheld cellphone use is illegal. Starting with the new year, penalties will kick in: a $150 fine for the first violation, progressing to $500 for third and subsequent offenses and up to 15 years imprisonment if a driver using a cellphone cause an injury or death. But police must notice a primary violation, such as speeding or weaving across lanes, to cite motorists for violating the cellphone law. Montana is the only state that hasn't banned texting while driving, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. FILE - Surrounded by members of the legislature and signs touting saving families money, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announces her 'Axe the Food Tax' campaign at Dillons grocery store in Topeka, Kan., Monday, Nov. 8, 2021 by holding an axe. (Evert Nelson/The Capital-Journal via AP, File) Tenants in Arizona will no longer have to pay tax on their monthly rent, thanks to the repeal of a law that had allowed cities and towns to impose such taxes. While a victory for renters, the new law is a financial loss for governments. An analysis by Arizona's nonpartisan Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated that $230 million would be lost in municipal tax revenue during the first full fiscal year of implementation. Meanwhile Alabama will offer tax credits to businesses that help employees with child care costs. Kansas is eliminating its 2% sales tax on groceries. It also is cutting individual income taxes by dropping the top tax rate, increasing a credit for child care expenses and exempting all Social Security income from taxes, among other things. Taxpayers are expected to save about $320 million a year going forward. FILE - Election board inspector Pat Cook readies "I Voted" stickers for voters during early voting in Oklahoma City, Friday, Oct. 29, 2010. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File) An Oklahoma law expands voting privileges to people who have been convicted of felonies but had their sentences discharged or commuted, including commutations for crimes that have been reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors. Former state Sen. George Young, an Oklahoma City Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate. "I think it's very important that people who have gone through trials and tribulations in their life, that we have a system that brings them back and allows them to participate as contributing citizens," Young said.

‘Gladiator II’ review: Are you not moderately entertained?H aving pursued higher studies in Japan, I was deeply inspired by their development, culture, and attitudes. The Japanese transport system, in particular, stands as a symbol of efficiency, professionalism, and meticulous planning. This article explores into the invaluable lessons from Japan’s approach to public transport and infrastructure, offering insights for Sri Lanka to embrace a holistic and progressive vision. Japan’s transport system integrates convenience, punctuality, and user-centric design. Buses, trams, trains, and taxis operate seamlessly, reflecting a deep respect for public service. Short-distance travel is primarily facilitated by buses and trams. Most of the trams run on electricity, making them environmentally friendly. These systems demonstrate Japan’s commitment to serving all stakeholders, including the elderly, differently-abled individuals, and families. A System Rooted in Discipline and Professionalism One defining feature of Japan’s transport system is the “one-man operation” model for short distance operations, where the driver manages both the operation of the vehicle and passenger transactions. Despite the dual responsibilities, services remain highly punctual and organised. Passengers are encouraged to pay fares accurately, facilitated by onboard machines that allow for cash adjustments. The trust placed in passengers to pay their due amount reflects the integrity of Japanese society. Punctuality is another hallmark of the system. Buses and trams arrive at each stop precisely as scheduled, with deviations measured in seconds. Drivers, irrespective of the vehicle type, significantly shape the image of Japan’s transport system. Known for their politeness, punctuality, and attentiveness, drivers often bow to greet passengers, reflecting respect and professionalism. Rigorous training programmes equip them with technical skills and soft skills, ensuring they manage time efficiently, prioritise safety, and handle challenges calmly. Drivers’ formal attire—white shirt and a cap complete with ties and gloves—reinforces their professional image and inspires trust among passengers. This commitment to service excellence ensures that every journey reflects the nation’s dedication to public welfare. Accessibility and Inclusivity for All Japanese transport infrastructure is designed to cater to all members of society. Drop-down curbs and ramps at the junction of side walks and pedestrian crossings as well as bus stops and tram stations facilitate wheelchair users, parents with strollers, and travelers with luggage. Tactile tiles on sidewalks guide visually impaired pedestrians, while sound systems at pedestrian crossings ensure safe and independent mobility. These thoughtful features underline the inclusivity ingrained in Japanese transport planning. Platforms for trams and trains are designed to minimise gaps, ensuring that boarding and alighting are safe and convenient for everyone. The bus doors are equipped with mechanisms to lower the vehicle’s height at stops, making it easier for passengers to step in. These inclusive practices not only enhance usability but also reflect the nation’s commitment to equitable access. Integrating Technology for Efficiency Japanese transport systems are a testament to the seamless integration of technology. Bus halts and tram stations provide detailed information, including route numbers, timetables, and live updates. Passengers can track the arrival of the next bus or tram via online platforms, enabling precise journey planning. Ticket vending machines and automated gates at train stations simplify transactions, reducing wait times and ensuring a smooth flow of passengers.Train platforms are marked with compartment numbers, allowing passengers to wait exactly where their designated car will stop, stream lining the boarding process. The Marvel of the Shinkansen Japan’s Shinkansen, often referred to as the “bullet train,” operates at speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour and is a global model of speed, reliability, and punctuality. According to Japan Railways, the average delay of a Shinkansen train in 2021 was just 24 seconds, demonstrating the precision of its operations. Beyond speed, the Shinkansen offers a travel experience that prioritises comfort, with spacious seating, clean carriages, and onboard amenities such as Wi-Fi and catering services. Integrated with Japan’s extensive network of local and metro trains, it creates a seamless transport ecosystem that connects urban hubs with rural areas. As former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe aptly stated, “Infrastructure is not just about moving goods or people; it’s about connecting hearts and creating new opportunities.” Stations themselves are well-equipped, offering shops, dining options, waiting areas, and hygienic restrooms. This focus on passenger convenience extends to long-distance buses, which operate with similar accuracy and comfort. Such comprehensive facilities ensure that public transport is not just a means of travel but an enjoyable experience. A Culture of Respect and Order The discipline and orderliness of Japanese society are mirrored in their transport systems. Public transport is free from disruptions such as unauthorized vendors, beggars, or parked vehicles obstructing access. Passengers maintain decorum by avoiding loud conversations or disruptive behavior, ensuring a peaceful journey for everyone. Safety is a cornerstone of the system. Regular announcements remind passengers to hold on tightly during travel, hold their belongings not to interrupt or disturb fellow passengers, and be courteous to fellow commuters. These practices foster a sense of community and shared responsibility, making public transport a reliable and respectful space. Inspiring Stories of Public Commitment A touching example of Japan’s dedication to public convenience is the story of Ky-Shirataki Station in Hokkaido. This station was kept operational to serve a single high school student, ensuring her access to education until her graduation. Shortly after she completed her studies, the station was closed. This act demonstrates the Japanese government’s recognition that long-term societal benefits often outweigh immediate economic returns. Such a commitment to individual needs highlights the value placed on public service. Lessons for Sri Lanka Sri Lanka’s transport system can benefit immensely from adopting Japan’s best practices. Key lessons include: Punctuality and Discipline: Implementing stringent schedules and fostering a culture of timeliness among operators and passengers. Inclusivity: Designing infrastructure to accommodate differently-abled individuals and other vulnerable groups. Integration of Technology: Introducing live tracking systems, cashless payments, and automated ticketing to enhance efficiency. Professionalism: Encouraging high standards of service, with well-dressed and courteous staff. Cleanliness and Safety: Maintaining hygienic and secure facilities across all transport modes. Comprehensive Planning: Viewing transport as an enabler of broader societal goals, including education, healthcare, and economic growth. By adopting these principles, Sri Lanka can create a transport system that not only meets immediate needs but also fosters long-term development and societal progress. A Holistic Approach to Development Japan’s transport success is part of a broader, integrated development strategy. The interconnectedness of sectors such as education, healthcare, tourism, and agriculture is well-recognised. Transportation enables access to schools, hospitals, markets, and tourist destinations, underscoring its central role in national development. To match this holistic approach, Sri Lanka must consider the ripple effects of transport investments across various sectors. Policymakers should prioritise projects that enhance connectivity, reduce inequalities, and improve quality of life. A cohesive strategy will ensure that investments in transport yield benefits far beyond the immediate scope. A Call to Transform Sri Lanka’s Transport System An effective transport system mirrors a nation’s progress and values. Japan’s example illustrates how discipline, technology, and collective commitment can create a seamless network that benefits all. Sri Lanka must prioritise long-term investments, align policies, and adopt Japan’s best practices to build a transport system that fosters national pride. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” By investing in an inclusive and efficient transport system, Sri Lanka can ensure equitable access to mobility while driving economic growth. “A developed country is not where the poor own cars, but where the rich use public transport.” Let this be our vision for Sri Lanka—a nation connected not only by roads and railways but by a shared commitment to progress and unity.
