Cash doesnt register

Joanne Cash, who has a glorious repute as a lawyer, chose to stop you do what she does well and persevere herself to something she was unequivocally bad at when she became the Tory claimant in Westminster North.

With an choosing imminent, she quiescent in a fire of publicity, but unresigned after Cameron had intervened. She additionally annoyed internal celebration members by putting RIP dinosaurs on her Twitter page. Then, notwithstanding dual fundraising visits from Cameron in person, she completed a pitch of 0.5 per cent opposite Labour, roughly the lowest anywhere in Britain, and lost. After the result, she appeared to censure the press. Press, you are on notice of the law as of right afar no some-more lies! she declared. Her Twitter page has been taken down. RIP one domestic career.

Sir Peter tops all

If you think this is the age of new politics, you should watch the primitive rite that will symbol the resumption of commercial operation in the House of Commons at 2.30 on Tuesday, all the doffing of caps as MPs accumulate in the House of Lords and are told to go afar and elect a Speaker. Almost as really old as this protocol is the patriarch who will be at the moment occupying the Speakers chair. That honour goes to the longest-serving MP, or Father of the House, Sir Peter Tapsell. He has only been re-elected as MP for Louth at the age of 80, worked in 10 Downing Street when Anthony Eden was Prime Minister and was initial inaugurated to Parliament in 1959.

Taking the Eady option

As Ken Clarke settles in to his new pursuit as Justice Secretary, one of his tasks will be to residence defame law, that all the main domestic parties determine needs reforming. He could take as his thought for the day a criticism by Sir David Eady, the decider whom Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, once pounded as a threat to free speech.

This week, Justice Eady done a really surprising statute in foster of a severe blogger, Dave Osler, who was being sued for defame by Johanna Kaschke, a Tory romantic from Tower Hamlets.

Kaschke, who suffered prejudicial detain in Germany during the violence combined by the Baader-Meinhof gang, claimed that Osler had pragmatic she condoned terrorism. Not confident at being since right of reply, she longed for hearing by jury. The box could have cost hundreds of thousands of pounds had the glorious Robert Dougans not stepped in to paint Osler free of charge, and swayed Judge Eady to set upon it off since the blog did not contend what Kaschke had review in to it.

Justice Eady, no good crony of journalists, was changed in this box to point out that being sued at all is a critical division with leisure of expression. Why afterwards did it take dual years and the involvement of a eminent disciple to settle that it was an costly bitch about nothing?

Julie finds a reason for Ukip

Speaking of people who have done bizarre domestic journeys, the bard Julie Burchill, born-again ex-communist and ex-Trotskyist, offering this gem in her ultimate mainstay for the Jewish Chronicle: I voted for Ukip since I STILL havent forgiven the Germans for what they did to your lot.

Hodgson happy at Fulham among Anfield interest

Roy Hodgson, the Fulham manager, admits he is flattered to be related with the Liverpool pursuit after examination his side go on their glorious deteriorate yesterday. The 62-year-old is reportedly on the shortlist to reinstate Rafael Benitez at Anfield after running Fulham to the Europa League final.

However, Hodgson says he is entirely committed to fulfilling his stipulate with the Cottagers and knows zero about Liverpools interest. "I"ve pronounced it before: I"m not a journal reader and know zero about my name being related with alternative jobs. I"m happy at Fulham," he said. "If I am related with alternative jobs, it is really graceful but I have a stipulate at Fulham.

"The usually thing I can stay is that once you grasp something, those moments cannot be taken afar from you. You have to suffer these moments and, yes, I am enjoying it."

Fulhams illusory feat of reaching the last meant that Hodgson could means to rest multiform key players for this match. He done 7 changes from the group that kick Hamburg, with usually Mark Schwarzer, John Pantsil, Paul Konchesky and Simon Davies starting the unbroken fixtures.

West Ham should have taken the lead in the 24th notation when Mark Nobles shot on the spin drew a excellent save from Schwarzer; Matthew Upson afterwards headed far-reaching from the ensuing corner. Clint Dempsey, though, came even closer for Fulham 3 mins after when his 25-yard shot clipped the crossbar. However, the American general was on aim on the cadence of half-time to give Fulham the lead. Konchesky played in the striker, who fashioned a tidy one-two with Davies prior to violence Robert Green.

Ten mins after the restart Upson scarcely incited the round in to his own net from Bjorn Helge Riises cranky as Fulham pulpy to supplement to their tally. But Carlton Cole was not so fortunate, as he was struck by Chris Bairds bid that sent the round past Green. The striker went somehow to saving himself, however, when he pulled behind a idea in the 62nd notation with a retrograde header past Schwarzer.

Fulham easy their value when a inapplicable designation from Jonathan Spector let in Erik Nevland, who crossed for Stefano Okaka to glow home. West Ham surrogate Guillermo Franco claimed a satisfaction in blocking time.

West Ham physical education instructor Gianfranco Zola, certified his side have been well subsequent standard in their afar fixtures this season: "The afar form has not been great enough; we have to do improved and I take shortcoming for that. It is really disappointing. After last week we came here and did all we could to try to win the game. I dont think the players lacked anything, it only did not work out for us; it did not click and thats the finish of the story."

The Italian combined that he was not sure he would still be at the bar subsequent season: "The speak about my destiny does not affect me. It has been similar to that given I"ve been at the club. I dont wish to speak about it, I only wish to concentration on the football, that has been really formidable this season."

Double acts are essentially three-legged races Frank Skinner

Frank Skinner & ,}

Eddie Large, prior to of the humerous entertainment stand in act, Little and Large, revealed, in an talk with TV Times this week, that he and his former partner, Syd Little, never verbalise to each other. This repelled me for dual reasons. First, as a someday piece of a humerous entertainment stand in action myself, I hatred the thought that affability fake in the white feverishness of the humerous entertainment crucible could ever be put apart and, second, I thought TV Times sealed down about twenty-five years ago.

I theory Eddie and TV Times had their golden years at about the same time, so theres a sure neatness in their stream juxtaposition. Mind you, by that logic, I should do an talk with Eddie Shahs Today. The story of Little and Larges alienation is not usually sad, the weird. Large explained to the TV Times that he lives up nearby Blackpool and I live nearby Bristol, so I havent oral to him for a prolonged time.

I assimilate that these last years have been gaunt times for Eddie but have bookings dusty up to such an border that hes essentially lost what a write is? How obsolete is Eddies stream information exchnage complement of preference that it cannot cope with the area in in in in between Bristol and Blackpool? It has to be possibly that thing that kids used to do with dual tin cans and a length of fishing weave or, alternatively, the usually shouting.

Syd and Eddies veteran partnership lasted scarcely 40 years and enclosed a BBC One Saturday night show that ran for thirteen series. Youd think such a prolonged duration of heated common experience would have shaped a singular and unbreakable tie in in in in between them. For Eddie, and in law for Syd, theres usually one alternative chairman on the world who understands what it was similar to being Little and Large. Their alienation creates me feel sad. Hearing that Little and Large arent vocalization is similar to conference that John McCarthy, Brian Keenan and Terry Waite dont sell Yuletide cards. I fell in to a likewise unhappy mood when Chas and Dave separate up. I experienced a sort of Cockney knees-down.

Of course, Im entirely wakeful that double-act feuds are a showbiz tradition. Abbott and Costello didnt verbalise for dual years, during that time Bud Abbott threatened, in print, to give Lou Costello a open thrashing. The massively renouned Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis came to hatred each other, the former revelation the latter youre zero to me but a f****** dollar sign; and things got so bad in in in in between Mike and Bernie Winters that Bernie transposed his hermit with a dog. I think it contingency be something to do with pity the limelight. Some members of stand in acts be insulted their dependency on the alternative half. When they dreamt of the bullion award they never illusory it would be for the three-legged race.

I examination a examination of Unplanned, a definitely unpretentious show I did with my double-act partner, David Baddiel. The reviewer favourite the moments of uncertainty, the pauses where we looked to each alternative for support: The moments in in in in between the trapezes. And it is similar to a trapeze act. You launch off in to your swoops and twirls anticipating the alternative half is there to catch you.

Sometimes one piece of will feel that theyre the one who provides all the magic. W. H. Auden, carrying created with Christopher Isherwood, pronounced that essay together is similar to roving a tandem both people are definitely assured that theyre you do all the work. The law is, a stand in action is a singular quadruped with dual heads. David and I had a order that when we worked on scripted things we never said, no have a difference who asked, who wrote what joke. Our realistic reply was always: We wrote it.

I courtesy the double-act piece of my career as a bit of a provide similar to being accompanied by a close crony on a travel youd routinely do on your own. Of course, Im a part-time double-act member. Maybe, if I was full-time, Id be fantasising about how it would be to pull my hands afar at the last impulse and watch the dull trapeze usually overhanging there as the shrieks and sobs climb up from the throng below.

Were told Little and Large came in to being when Syd, you do his piece for one person action at a small club, got exceedingly heckled by a fat bloke with curly hair. Suddenly, the heckler got on theatre and proposed you do a Cliff Richard sense that wowed the crowd. He one after another to bother the sad-faced, bespectacled Syd, right away from close range, and this total humerous entertainment manoeuvre dtat went so well they motionless to sojourn a twosome. Its each hecklers tip mental condition come loyal and creates Syd Little appear not so most a true man as a hostage. Maybe Eddie has eventually set him free.

Nonetheless, we love stand in acts and we, in turn, need them to love each other. I instruct Syd and Eddie would have hit prior to the as well late. I recollect Brian Cloughs unfortunate pique when Peter Taylor died in the surrounded by of their estrangement. Abbott and Costello, Lewis and Martin, Mike and Bernie, they all done friends again in the end. There contingency be something that still connects Syd and Eddie, if the usually Stockholm syndrome. Wheres the conciliation service, Acas, when you need it?

Analysis: A minority Tory supervision is still the majority expected outcome

Peter Riddell & ,}

The key to any agreement on a new supervision will be timing: how prolonged it lasts. This is the hint of references to fortitude that the 3 main celebration leaders and their negotiators have been creation given Friday morning.

The post-election change of parties in the House of Commons is innately unstable, creation an additional ubiquitous choosing illusive inside of a couple of months. The usually approach out is if dual of the 3 main parties can determine on a programme lasting a year or more, similar to the Lib-Lab agreement of 1977-78.

Consequently, any matter that does not discuss timing is expected to be really short-lived, presumably only tiding any supervision over the summer until the autumn.

Just cruise the on all sides of the 3 main parties. The Conservatives are ready to take over the reins of bureau and majority of their MPs foster a minority supervision rather than any grave understanding with an additional party, quite if that compromises their long-term connection to the first-past-the-post system.

Many comparison Tories hold that they will be means to call the steep of the antithesis parties on key issues, as the SNP minority administration department department has finished in Edinburgh given 2007. But a little form of understanding with the Lib Dems on certainty and supply (that is on the Budget and deficit-reduction measures) would yield reassurance, to the open and the monetary markets, that the new administration department department would be fast and last for a year or more.

This is double-edged both for the Tories and the Lib Dems. The Tories wish leisure of stratagem over the timing of the subsequent election: job it when they are obviously forward in the polls, contend in Oct or Nov when they think they win an altogether majority. By contrast, the Lib Dems are dynamic to equivocate an early choosing and as a outcome wish a organisation calendar for any agreement with the Tories, in effect, statute out the right to call a uninformed choosing during the duration of the agreement.

Nick Clegg is in a majority weaker on all sides than he appears. He is not the kingmaker that he was at large portrayed as on Friday. Rather, he is in risk of being darned whatever he does. If he agrees a understanding with the Tories, majority Lib Dems will intent and there is a genuine risk of a split. But if Mr Clegg forms piece of a rainbow bloc with Labour, he risks being indicted of propping up a Prime Minister who has lost the election. Hence, the vigour on Gordon Brown to have known that he will step down during the summer. That would additionally concede time for legislation to be upheld to organize a referendum on electoral reform.

The fright of majority Lib Dems is what will occur to them at the subsequent election. The risk for Mr Clegg is being blamed by electorate if he is as well close possibly to the Tories with their Budget cuts or to a discredited Labour Government. So the Lib Dem priority is any understanding that delays an choosing for as prolonged as possible. Mr Clegg will have to stratagem skilfully over the subsequent day or dual if he is to keep his celebration united.

Labour is additionally on the defensive and needs time to reconstruct around a new personality and to deliver electoral reform. Senior ministers are additionally separate on the feasibility of a Lab-Lib deal.

The Tories have the majority leisure of stratagem in propinquity to alternative parties. But David Cameron cannot slight his own MPs whom he will encounter tomorrow. They are in all demure to have as well majority concessions to the Lib Dems

The majority expected outcome is still a minority Conservative Government and an additional choosing after this year. But watch what any one says on dates and times.

US propagandize indicted of utilizing laptops to view on pupils

The row over a Philadelphia propagandize district indicted of personally espionage on pupils by laptop cameras escalated currently after it concurred capturing some-more than 56,000 images of the students, majority of them in their homes.

When the liaison initial broke, it was believed that customarily a couple of cinema had been taken of one pupil, Blake Robbins. But justice writings expelled this week showed that thousands of images were taken of Robbins and alternative students.

Robbins and his relatives have filed an movement opposite the propagandize district of Lower Merion in an abundant suburb of Philadelphia. Court writings from the Robbins"s lawyers pronounced that at initial it was thought that the laptops" "peeping tom" record had constructed a couple of images but they found some-more than 400 of Robbins, together with images "showing him to some extent undressed and sleeping".

There were images of alternative students in their homes as well.

"Not customarily was Blake Robbins being spied upon, but each one of the people he was IM [instant message] chatting with were spied upon," pronounced Robbins"s lawyer, Mark Haltzman.

Henry Hockeimer, a counsel for Harriton propagandize that Robbins attended, suggested that at slightest 56,000 webcam cinema and alternative images were taken from students" laptops but he denied any were of a carnal nature.

The propagandize district released 2,300 laptops to students and pronounced it activated the spyware commissioned in them to try to lane 80 that had left missing. The complement has right away been deactivated.

The row began when Robbins was confronted in Nov by a propagandize central questionable that he might have had drug in his room and was shown a sketch taken from his laptop.

Robbins pronounced the "pills" were sweets. He and his relatives launched the case, claiming defilement of polite rights.

Robbins pronounced he did not know since the espionage device was activated as his laptop had not been reported stolen or missing. Other students, whose cinema were taken pronounced their laptops had not been reported stolen or blank either.

The FBI is questioning the liaison and the Senate is to see at due legislation that would have it a crime to make use of webcams for spying.

An director at the school, one of the couple of with management to lane the laptops, was refusing to answer questions, citing her inherent right to sojourn silent.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that 38,500 of the images came from 6 laptops that had been reported blank from the Harriton gym in Sep 2008. These assumingly helped the military catch a suspect. Another set of images were from cameras in laptops that employees obliged for tracking unsuccessful or forgot to spin off.

In about fifteen cases, it has not nonetheless been determined since the machines were being monitored. In a couple of alternative cases, images taken have not been recovered.

Hockeimer pronounced a tracking programme in the inclination automatically took images each fifteen minutes, customarily capturing a print of the user and a shade shot at the same time.

The programme was infrequently incited on for weeks or months at a time, Hockeimer said.

"There were no created policies or procedures ruling the resources surrounding activating the module and the resources per branch off the activations," he said.

The justice papers, filed by Robbins" lawyers, pronounced that the record was activated in between twenty Oct and 4 Nov last year, with majority of the 400 shots of him whilst he was in his home, and enclosed his family. "There were one more webcam cinema and shade shots taken of Blake Robbins which, to date, have not been recovered since the justification was purged by the IT department," the justice writings say.

His lawyers are perplexing to acquire entrance to the administrator"s home computer to settle either she downloaded any of the pictures. The justice writings lay she might be a voyeur.

In one email, when an IT chairman commented on how the observation of the webcam cinema and shade shots from a student"s computer was similar to a "little LMSD (Lower Merion School District) soap opera", she allegedly replied: "I know, I love it."

Comics key to guidance some-more about N Korea

AN educational believes he has found a approach to bargain the comrade state of North Korea: by celebration of the mass the comic books. Heinz Insu Fenkl, a novel highbrow at the State University of New York who describes himself as an American-Korean, produces English translations of the hard-to-find striking novels, that are called "gruim-chaek" in North Korea.Fenkl sourADVERTISEMENTces the books, that are a sort of Korean proletarian cranky in between Japanese manga or British commando comics, at shops in China and from colleagues who transport to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital. He aims to put together a web repository of all the comics he has translated."Of the "gruim-chaek" I"ve located, those published this decade lend towards to be view thrillers probably directed at immature boys and teenagers," the novel consultant said. "The cartoonists settle the storylines particularly as moralistic good-versus-evil tales. And roughly all the books are printed in black and white on poor-quality paper."I"ve additionally seen a little covers of some-more new comics that appear to be re-establishing a mythic account by referring behind to old folktales."The plots customarily pin censure on loud-mouthed Americans and opportunist Japanese for impiety their betrothed land with vice. Most books are leaked to China by the limit locale of Dandong – a heart of bootlegging in North Korean goods. Others finish up in a emporium in Tokyo that specialises in North Korean memorabilia.

Haiti assist bid injured by delayed U.N. reply

Tom Brown PORT-AU-PRINCE Fri Feb 26, 2010 1:13pm EST Related News Haiti preserve puncture as sleet turns camps to mudThu, Feb eighteen 2010U.N. assist arch chides agencies on Haiti reliefThu, Feb eighteen 2010Sarkozy visits Haiti, unveils vital assist packageWed, Feb seventeen 2010Tarps, toilets are priorities for quake-hit Haiti: U.N.Mon, Feb fifteen 2010One month after quake, Haitians stick on to weep deadFri, Feb twelve 2010 < 1 / 7 >

PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Clutching involuntary attack rifles, truckloads of U.N. infantry patrolled the streets of Haiti"s cracked collateral on the day after the trembler strike last month, clearly preoccupied to the wretchedness around them.

World&&&&Natural Disasters

Cries for assistance from people digging for survivors in collapsed buildings were drowned out by the bark of heavy-duty engines as the infantry plowed by Port-au-Prince but interlude to stick on rescue efforts, majority less lead them.

A usual steer since they were deployed in 2004, the U.N. infantry huddled in the shade of their canopied vehicles.

There were about 9,000 uniformed U.N. peacekeepers stationed in Haiti when the upheaval struck on Jan twelve and they were the judicious "first responders" to the mess in the bankrupt Caribbean country, whose notoriously diseased executive supervision was impressed by the scale of the tragedy.

Initially, however, nothing of the peacekeepers appeared to be concerned in hands-on charitable service in what puncture healing experts report as the vicious initial 72 hours after a harmful trembler strikes.

Their reply to the abominable pang was singular to you do security and seeking for looters after the bulk 7.0 upheaval intended majority of the collateral and took what Haitian President Rene Preval says could be as majority as 300,000 lives.

There was looting in the capital, but it paled in some-more aged with the astringency of the charitable crisis.

Horribly-injured patients flooded overstretched hospitals, forcing healing staff to confirm that patients to yield and that were already as well far left to try saving.

"Doctors played God," pronounced Tyler Marshall, a maestro former Los Angeles Times match operative with an general assist organisation that helped out in a tent city erected at the tallness of the destruction on the drift of Port-au-Prince"s University Hospital, the country"s largest.

Scores of U.N. crew died in the quake, together with Hedi Annabi, head of the U.N. mission that was set up in 2004. That helps insist what majority have criticized as a glacially delayed kickoff of service operations after one of history"s misfortune healthy disasters.

But in the days and weeks that followed it mostly seemed that lessons from alternative disasters were abandoned in Haiti as fears of rioting or anarchy overshadowed concerns about removing assist out quickly.

The U.N."s tip charitable assist official, John Holmes, is between those who have chided service agencies, together with the United Nations itself, for you do as well small to assistance Haiti.

"We cannot ... wait for for for the subsequent puncture for these lessons to be learned," Holmes wrote in a trusted email initial published on the website of the biography Foreign Policy.

"There is an obligatory need to progress significantly genius on the ground, to urge coordination, vital formulation and sustenance of aid," pronounced Holmes.

Edmond Mulet, behaving head of the U.N. mission, concurred in an talk that it played a singular charitable purpose in the initial couple of days after the trembler since the operations were effectively decapitated.

"At the unequivocally commencement it was unequivocally formidable since all the domicile was utterly broken and all the care of the mission was killed," Mulet told Reuters.

"CRIMINALS AND BANDITS"

Mulet gained prominence for wielding an iron fist during a prior army as head of the U.N. mission when he led mostly Brazilian "blue helmet" infantry in a successful crackdown on Haiti"s heavily armed gangs.

And he has finished no tip about sophistry the competing needs of service operations with law enforcement, in his bid to lane down the some-more than 3,000 inmates who took value of the trembler to shun from the main prison.

"We are here additionally to yield security," he pronounced when asked about the mess of convoys of rifle-wielding U.N. infantry to poke for people trapped in the rubble of the busted capital.

"I still have to patrol, I still have to go after all these criminals and bandits that transient from the inhabitant penitentiary, the squad leaders, the criminals, the killers, the kidnappers. I cannot unequivocally confuse myself from you do that."

The service mission shifted in to higher rigging after U.S. infantry deployed in large numbers and set up a supply sequence to get food and disinfectant in to areas great out for aid.

But there were still majority bottlenecks and setbacks, mostly involving U.N.-linked food distributions hobbled by unsound organization, reserve and throng control.

Unfortunately, U.N. infantry in Haiti have over the years gained a repute for toughness and abuse some-more than for easing pang in the lowest nation in the Americas.

"The usually time I"ve seen one of these U.N. infantry burst out of the behind of a lorry was to kick up on somebody or take a shot at them," pronounced a piece of the U.S. Army"s 82nd Airborne Division, as he worked security during a new assist handout.

"These guys have since all of us in unvaried a bad repute here," he said, asking not to be identified.

Haiti"s wrecked infrastructure and bad ride links finished it formidable to get assist out and keep it flowing, but that frequency finished the incident opposite from that in alternative new disasters around the globe.

"POOREST AND MOST VULNERABLE"

"The lowest and the majority exposed people lend towards to live in the regions that are strike the majority by healthy disasters," pronounced Solomon Kuah, an puncture healing medicine formed in New York who outlayed 4 weeks in Port-au-Prince after the quake.

There are no arguable estimates for the series of survivors who died from injuries due to unsound healing supplies.

But Henriette Chamouillet, the World Health Organization"s deputy in Haiti, pronounced all from staff shortages to bureaucracy and a miss of make-up lists embroiled the smoothness of containers full of medicines from Port-au-Prince"s airfield to doctors on the ground.

Port-au-Prince sits usually 700 miles off the seashore of Miami, that is home to a large Haitian-American community, and it seemed ludicrous that so couple of the U.S. infantry rushed there spoke French or were accompanied by translators.

One retaining picture of pell-mell food distributions came when U.S. helicopters offloaded boxes of MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) at a site in the capital. Many Haitians non-stop them up usually to toss them afar in offend since no French or Creole-language instructions were enclosed with the assumingly invalid packets of dust, explaining that they indispensable to be churned with H2O as piece of their preparation.

Rajiv Shah, head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, has touted the Haiti service mission as "the largest and majority successful general poke and rescue bid ever fabricated in history."

But some-more than 6 weeks after the upheaval hit, the mission is still mostly in an puncture reply mode. The U.N."s World Food Program is tying the food rations to 55-pound (25 kg) bags of rice and the Haitian supervision estimates that a million upheaval survivors are still vital in the streets in temporary encampments with no using H2O or toilets.

Doctors are roughly finished traffic with dire injuries but reconstruction for a little 40,000 amputees and rebuilding Haiti"s health infrastructure are between long-term challenges.

"This is unequivocally a mess of Biblical proportions," pronounced Lewis Lucke, who was the USAID executive in Iraq prior to entrance to Haiti as U.S. ambassador.

U.N. and alternative officials have pronounced the tellurian reply to Haiti"s upheaval was quicker and some-more in effect than in alternative new disasters, together with the Asian tsunami that killed 226,000 people in thirteen countries in Dec 2004.

But experts contend the United Nations has a lot to sense from smaller, some-more nimble healing groups similar to International Medical Corps, or IMC, and Paris-based Medicins Sans Frontieres, along with charities some-more experienced in distributing aid, such as CARE and Catholic Relief Services.

Kuah, who concurrent service efforts for IMC, a California-based organisation that had rarely learned doctors treating patients in Haiti twenty-three hours after the trembler struck, stressed the "need for speed" when it comes to saving lives.

"When you ask yourself if there were ways you could have prevented some-more mortalities or discontinued additional mortality, with earthquakes, in particular, it"s some-more timing than anything else," pronounced Kuah.
