Lana Del Rey Revealed The Release Date For Her Tenth Album, ‘The Right Person Will Stay’Healey: Proscription status of Syria’s new rulers is not a matter for nowThe Defence Secretary has said that “proscription is not a matter for now” in relation to the UK’s ban on the group that has taken power in Syria. John Healey said that the Government’s “interest” in Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is “that they live up to their promises to protect” rights, when he spoke to reporters after a Cobra meeting on Thursday. HTS is banned in the UK because of its past association with al Qaida, the terrorist organisation once led by Osama bin Laden. But its leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, cut ties with al Qaida years ago and has sought to present his group as a more moderate and inclusive organisation, leading some to suggest the group should no longer be proscribed. When asked whether the Government was considering the status of the group, Mr Healey said: “Proscription is not a matter for now. “It doesn’t stop us talking to all the parties, and our interest in HTS is that they live up to their promises to protect the rights of all individuals and all groups, to respect international law and to prevent Syria becoming a base for a fresh terrorist threat.” Mr Healey said that Thursday’s meeting was “about making sure we have, as a Government, a laser focus on the role that we can play with allies to see a stable, peaceful transition. “So that the Syrians get the government they need for the future, and the region can see the stability in the future that it also needs.” Cobra meetings are called when ministers or officials need to respond to urgent matters. Following the toppling of the Bashar Assad regime over the weekend, the UK has paused decisions on asylum applications from Syria. Thousands of Syrians have been granted asylum in the UK but, earlier this week, the Home Office said decisions on applications would be paused while events unfold in Damascus. When asked how long the system would be paused for, and whether the move was fair, Mr Healey said on Thursday: “This is early days. “It’s a measure in response to rapidly changing developments, and the most important thing for us now is that the UK plays and will continue to play a full role with allies to see a stable, peaceful, orderly transition and that requires a political process. “It requires dialogue at the heart of it, and today’s ministerial meeting, the Cobra meeting, was about making sure that we do just that.” Earlier on Thursday, G7 leaders said that they “stand with the people of Syria” and “denounce terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms”. In a statement, Sir Keir Starmer and his counterparts said: “The G7 will work with and fully support a future Syrian government that abides by those standards and results from that process.” It went on: “After decades of atrocities committed by the Assad regime, we stand with the people of Syria. We denounce terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms. “We are hopeful that anyone seeking a role in governing Syria will demonstrate a commitment to the rights of all Syrians, prevent the collapse of state institutions, work on the recovery and rehabilitation of the country, and ensure the conditions for safe and dignified voluntary return to Syria of all those who were forced to flee the country.”
Tottenham return to Southampton on Sunday for the first time since Antonio Conte’s explosive post-match rant, but current boss Ange Postecoglou has not lost any of his determination to succeed at the club. Conte’s last public act as Spurs head coach after a 3-3 draw at St Mary’s in 2023 was to launch a furious tirade against his own “selfish” players who he claimed “don’t want to play under pressure” before he seemed to turn on the board as he questioned the club’s ongoing trophy drought. Eight days later Conte had left Tottenham by mutual consent after a whirlwind 16-month period, with Postecoglou his eventual permanent successor. A post shared by Antonio Conte (@antonioconte) Postecoglou has been in charge of the Premier League club for two months longer than the Italian, but managed 12 fewer matches and is currently in the middle of an injury crisis which has resulted in a drop in form, with Spurs only able to claim one victory from their last eight fixtures. However, when Postecoglou was asked if he would jump ship in the wake of making remarks like Conte did in March, 2023, he said: “Look, I don’t think it’s fair to comment. “Antonio is a world-class manager and has his own way of doing things, his own reasons for doing that. “I am here, I am in for the fight. I am in a fight, for sure. For better or worse I am not going anywhere at the moment because everything is still in my power and my responsibility. “I still have a real desire to get us through this stage so that people see what is on the other side. My resolve and determination hasn’t wavered one little bit. “I love a fight, I love a scrap, I love being in the middle of a storm when everyone doubts because I know what it is on the other side if you get through it. My job is to get through it.” Postecoglou was Celtic boss when Conte’s extraordinary 10-minute press conference made waves around the world, but acknowledged being aware of his predecessors’ comments and attempted to explain the psyche behind why a manager would make such a move. “I was on Planet Earth at that time, and yes I was well aware of it,” Postecoglou smiled. “I think you know when a manager gets to that point that there’s obviously some underlying issues. “I think most of the time when managers do that they’re trying to get a reaction, trying to get some sort of impact on the team. “In difficult moments, what you want from your leaders is action rather than inaction of just letting things drift along. He did it to try and get a positive impact on the group, one way or another. We’ve all been in that situation as a manager where you feel this is time to send a message.” Postecoglou sent out his own message on Thursday after a 1-1 draw away to Rangers when he insisted Timo Werner’s display “wasn’t acceptable” at Ibrox. Werner was replaced at half-time following an error-strewn performance, but was not alone in being below-par in Glasgow. A day later Postecoglou explained how with Spurs missing several key first-teamers, the onus is on their fit senior players to deliver a level of application and commitment – and admitted Werner will be required at St Mary’s on Sunday. “I’ve got no choice. Who else am I going to play? I’m pulling kids out of school, I literally am,” Postecoglou mentioned in reference to 16-year-old duo Malachi Hardy and Luca Williams-Barnett, who have recently made the bench. “That was the reasoning for me pointing it out last night. We need Timo. We need all of them. “In normal times if you have a poor game, there’s a price to pay. It doesn’t exist right now. We need everybody we’ve got.”Ange Postecoglou fights on as Tottenham return to scene of Antonio Conte rant

FARMINGTON — Michael Johnson, professor of English at the University of Maine at Farmington, has recently received the Western Literature Association’s 2024 Thomas J. Lyon Award for best book in American western literary and cultural studies. Johnson’s book, “Speculative Wests,” is a study of the “Weird Westerns” genre that merges western settings with science fiction, fantasy, horror, or alternate history. The WLA promotes the study of the diverse literature and cultures of the North American West. The organization brings together scholars, artists, environmentalists and community leaders who value the West’s literary and cultural contributions to American and world cultures. “I’ve worked as a scholar in the field of the study of the American West for over twenty years, and I’ve seen the excellent work that has received this award in the past, so I’m very honored to receive the 2024 Western Literature Association’s Lyon Award,” said Johnson. “Critics have been declaring the death of the western for over a hundred years. That it has most recently come back to life in the (sometimes undead) form of weird westerns and speculative westerns seems appropriate. My book pays detailed attention to the wide range of twenty-first century speculative westerns, indicative of the way the genre of the western has continued to grow and change in surprising ways,” said Johnson. UMF will be offering a Weird Westerns course (ENG 377) taught by Johnson this spring. The course is a hybrid of online and in-person sessions. It will zoom weekly with students at Texas Tech University in a similar course taught by Sara Spurgeon Texas Tech University professor of American literature, literature, social justice and environment. For more information, visit https://www.umf.maine.edu/continuing-ed/take-classes/ . “Johnson’s book is eye-opening and could be useful for writers or readers who want to be challenged by perspectives on Western fiction that they might not have previously considered,” said Jeffrey J. Mariotte, Roundup Magazine. According to the University of Nebraska Press, “Johnson’s narrative involves a study of both genre and place, a study of the “Speculative Wests” that have begun to emerge in contemporary texts such as the zombie-threatened California of Justina Ireland’s ‘Deathless Divide’ (2020)...Focusing on literature, film, and television from 2016 to 2020, Speculative Wests creates new visions of the American West.” Johnson is professor of American literature at the University of Maine at Farmington. His primary research areas are African American Literature and the literature and culture of the American West. He is the author of the recently published “Speculative Wests: Popular Representations of a Region and a Genre.” He has also written two biographies, “Can’t Stand Still: Taylor Gordon and the Harlem Renaissance” and “A Black Woman’s West: The Life of Rose B. Gordon.” He is also co-editor (with Kerry Fine, Rebecca Lush, and Sara Spurgeon) of “Weird Westerns: Race, Gender, Genre” and the forthcoming “Hell-Bent for Leather: Sex and Sexuality in the Weird Western.” Johnson received his master’s and PhD from the University of Kansas.Valladolid beats fellow struggler Valencia to move off the bottom of La Liga
