  • Refugee Footballers in Britain
    Refugee Footballers in Britain Refugee Footballers in Britain In an IPSOS Mori Survey carried out with refugees in 2010, 42% of respondents said that football was one of the three things they like most about living in Britain. This was slightly behind ‘the British people’ and just ahead of ‘multicultural society’. A refugee is a person from another country who has been given permission to remain in the UK for their own protection. An asylum seeker is a person who has applied for protection and is awaiting a decision on this. People are forced to leave their homes and seek protection for many reasons: Political protest Civil War Ethnic minority in their country Religious persecution Infringement of civil liberties Most refugees seek sanctuary in neighbouring Asylum seekers are countries but some travel much further in the hope of not allowed to work greater protection.

  • Press Release: $1.6M “Birthday” Present To
    ACT Government 2004-2005 BUDGET MEDIA RELEASE $1.6M “BIRTHDAY” PRESENT TO MANUKA OVAL CENTRAL IN COMMITMENT TO SPORT AND RECREATION The 2004-05 Budget sets aside $1.6 million in the capital works program for Manuka Oval, which will provide improved spectator comfort with undercover seating for an additional 4,000 fans. “Manuka Oval, which celebrates its 75th birthday this year, remains a key facility for both AFL and cricket, hosting a large number of community and elite level events each year. Key facility hirers and spectators have long lamented the lack of covered seating, which severely impacts on spectator numbers and comfort in the advent of wet conditions or extreme heat,” said Treasurer and Minister for Sport, Ted Quinlan. “In a move that will no doubt please major hirers, this budget allocation will provide increased weather protection, making two-thirds of Manuka Oval’s seats under cover. Furthermore, a third major access gate will be created to improve crowd access control and safety. This is part of a broader project to undertake new perimeter fencing to upgrade venue security and further enhance the Oval’s visual appeal in harmony with the surrounding Manuka precinct.” The Budget has also made an $8 million provision for the development of a drag racing facility for the ACT, aiming to replace the former site at Pialligo that ceased operation under the Liberal Government in late 1998. “The Canberra drag racing community has been actively calling for a dragway for over five years and we made a strong commitment to investigate available options.

  • Ein Rendezvous Mit Der Zukunft in Basel
    Basel, 28. Februar 2013 Ein Rendezvous mit der Zukunft in Basel Vielfältiges und Einzigartiges: Die Badminton Swiss Open bürgen für beides. Vom 12. bis 17. März treten in der St. Jakobshalle Spieler aus 35 Ländern und mit Sabrina Jaquet und Nicole Schaller erstmals zwei Schweizerinnen im Haupttableau an. Auch nach 22 Jahren wirkt der Überraschungseffekt noch. Ein ausgesprochen ange- nehmer. So freut sich Christian Wackernagel, in dieser ganzen langen Zeit unermüdli- cher OK-Präsident des internationalen Basler Badmintonturniers, auf eine Neuauflage „mit unerwartet starken und für das Publikum hochgradig interessanten Teilnehmern“. Sein Erstaunen über die beachtliche Besetzung begründet er damit, „dass es in einem Jahr nach Olympischen Spielen meistens etwas harzt, weil ein Umbruch die Norm ist“. Die Verantwortlichen des mit 125‘000 US-Dollar dotierten Events mit Grand-Prix-Gold- Status (zweithöchste Stufe) spüren aber nichts von einer solchen Verschnaufpause. Da wäre einmal das breite Spektrum an Nationen; Spieler und Spielerinnen aus 35 Ländern haben sich für die 23. Swiss Open (12. bis 17. März) eingeschrieben. „Das ist das zweitbestes Meldeergebnis“, weiss Wackernagel, „nur im Olympiajahr 2008 war die Herkunft der Aktiven, die damals aus 40 Ländern anreisten, noch vielfältiger.“ Die drei letzten Junioren-Weltmeister am Start Thailänder, Inder, Japaner, Dänen - allesamt Repräsentanten aus den führenden Bad- mintonmächten - preist der 50-Jährige als attraktive und gleichzeitig erfrischende Basler Gäste an. Denn sie bilden auch einen Gegenpol zur traditionell stark besetzten Fraktion aus China. Die Chinesen sind im Vorfeld ihrer Heim-Weltmeisterschaften in Guangzhou erneut mit einer 15-köpfigen Delegation vertreten, allerdings gleichmässig verteilt auf alle fünf Konkurrenzen. „Deshalb wird ihre Dominanz nicht mehr so erdrückend sein wie in den letzten Jahren.
