CURVE theatre, Leicester · Follow We know many of our audiences and visitors still have questions about parking near Curve and you may have seen our Chief Executive speaking about this situation in the news this week. As reported in the press, we made an offer to take on the running of the car park until a long-term tenant could be secured. Unfortunately this wasn't accepted by the freeholder. However, we'd like to assure you that we are doing everything we can, working with Leicester City Council and other local stakeholders, to get the car park reopen. In the meantime, several former NCP sites have now reopened under operators Euro Car Parks. We are pleased to let you know we have secured discounted rates for Curve customers at East Street and Abbey Street car parks. Details will be sent by email to bookers in advance of their visit. Leicester City Council have also added more off-street accessible parking spaces around the Cultural Quarter, and a number of other local parking options can also be found on our website (linked in the comments below). We will continue to share the latest details on parking information with customers by email before their visit, so please do keep an eye on your inbox. If you have any questions about parking, please email [email protected] or call our Box Office team on 0116 242 3595. See less

No but with Infantino kowtowing to Trump and the USA generally I still can't get by the potential influence they have and continue to do so. Look at their treatment of Iran which FIFA have totally ignored. The stupid trophy he gave Trump, Trump presenting the World Cup to the winners, no mention of Canada or Mexico being involved. -

if we're sticking with 48/64 teams the group games should be pre-tournament maybe split across and held in some of the smaller nations. -
Bit of old technology when we used to be first at many things Fact Slap · Follow Fact Slap Today in 1937, Britain introduced the world’s first emergency telephone number. The number chosen was 999, making London the first city anywhere in the world where the public could dial a dedicated number to summon the police, fire brigade or ambulance service in a genuine emergency. The idea came after a tragic fire in Wimpole Street in 1935, during which neighbours tried repeatedly to contact the telephone exchange but were unable to get through quickly enough. Public outrage led the General Post Office, working alongside the emergency services, to develop a system that would allow urgent calls to take priority over all others. The choice of 999 was no accident. On the old rotary telephones of the day, the number 9 was right next to the finger stop, making it easy to locate even in darkness or thick smoke. Dialling it three times also greatly reduced the chances of accidental calls and ensured the exchange immediately recognised it as an emergency. To make it even more obvious, emergency calls triggered flashing lights and buzzers at the telephone exchange so operators could answer them without delay. The system was initially introduced across London on 30 June 1937 before being gradually expanded across the rest of the United Kingdom. It proved so successful that many countries around the world later adopted their own dedicated emergency numbers, such as 911 in the United States and 112, now used across much of Europe. Nearly 90 years later, millions of people in Britain still know the same three digits by heart.

Infantino is way worse than Blatter ever was. Blatter was financially corrupt Infantino seems to be corrupt at every level and has an ego on a par with Trump. But he's guaranteeing his continued control by favourable treatment for the rising nations which I doubt is for social-minded or beneficial reasons -

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1897031754314303 AI explanation This post features an incredible automated LEGO Technic machine that folds and launches paper airplanes. [1, 2] The Creator The machine was built by Kenjiro Nagai (also known as KEN LEGO), a Japanese LEGO enthusiast and member of the Osaka University LEGO Users Group. He has been refining this complex mechanical build for years, with several versions showcased at events like Japan Brickfest. [1, 2, 3] How It Works The machine acts as a miniature automated factory, using a network of: LEGO Technic components: Motors, gears, rollers, and folding linkages. [1, 2] Precision movement: It takes a flat sheet of paper, feeds it through a guided path, and performs each fold with millimetre-level precision before automatically launching the finished plane. [1, 2] Automation principles: The entire process is synchronized to handle everything from feeding to the final launch without human intervention. [1, 2] Can You Build One? While there are no official instructions for this specific machine, Nagai emphasizes starting with prototypes to master the complicated movements before aiming for a perfect final build. [] If you are looking to start with something simpler, you can find tutorials for: Basic LEGO Launchers: Using rubber bands and simple Technic frames. Motorized Launchers: Using LEGO Mindstorms or Spike Prime sensors and motors to propel already-folded planes. [1, 2, 3, 4]

But there's no reason why it shouldn't be better other sports seem to have managed it.
