‘Taking it step by step’ – Thiago Alcantara’s fitness update – Liverpool FC

Thiago Alcantara is in a positive mood as he works towards a return to training with his Liverpool teammates in the near future.

The midfielder has been restricted to two appearances since joining the Reds from Bayern Munich in September due to the knee injury he sustained in Octobers Merseyside derby.

His recovery continued on Thursday afternoon when he undertook a fitness session in the gym and out on the grass at the AXA Training Centre as part of his recovery.

Thiago, who was one of four members of the squad named in the FIFA FIFPro Mens World11 for 2020, later provided an update on his condition to Liverpoolfc.com.

Asked about his fitness and whether he is targeting a comeback date, the No.6 replied: No, just taking it step by step.

We always try to [do it] like we have a wall in front of us, saying OK, you have to make a step back before you can advance.

Now we think we are in a right mood and looking forward to the end of the year to try to train another time with the team.

When the Spain international does achieve full fitness and rejoin the Reds, he will bolster a group that has overcome a series of injuries to lead the Premier League and successfully reach the Champions League last 16.

The team were doing good the last years, its not just about this season, its about the last years they were doing an amazing performance not just in the Premier League but also in the Champions League, said Thiago.

The positive part is [the opportunity] to learn more about the club and to learn more about the players from outside the pitch.

See What Happens When NYC Streets Are Full of People Instead of Cars – The New York Times

By Matthew Haag Photographs and Video by Gareth Smit Illustrations by Agnes Lee

Dec. 18, 2020

Of all the ways the pandemic reshaped New York Citys streetscape, the most profound example might have been found on Vanderbilt Avenue as it cut through brownstone Brooklyn.

On weekends jazz bands played on the corners. Friends reunited on the median. Children zigged and zagged on their bikes as diners sat at bistro tables atop asphalt. The faint sound of cars could be heard in the distance.

Just as the early days of the coronavirus forced New Yorkers inside, it eventually pushed them outdoors for fresh air, for exercise, for eating, for relief in what became an organic takeover and reimagining of the citys streets across its five boroughs.

City officials handed over 83 miles of roadway to cyclists, runners and walkers, allowed nearly 11,000 restaurants to stretch onto sidewalks and streets and let retailers expand their storefronts beyond their front doors. People reclaimed the pavement and are, by and large, unwilling to give it back.

Read more in this series

Mayor Bill de Blasio has heralded the programs known separately as Open Streets, Open Restaurants and Open Storefronts as a bright spot in an otherwise dark moment for the city. Once a skeptic, Mr. de Blasio now believes that some of these pandemic-era experiments will be woven permanently into the fabric of New York.

But how exactly will the city look?

With a rare opportunity to rethink the design of the citys streets, The New York Times asked people who have taken advantage of Open Streets what they want to see endure. The Times also asked a noted urban planner and architect, Claire Weisz of WXY Studio, to explore what would be realistic, but also to offer a more ambitious vision and share what has worked elsewhere

The Times selected three streets that were part of the Open Streets and Open Restaurants programs and that represent possibilities applicable to all parts of the city. While the Open Restaurants program has been made permanent, the city has said less about the future of Open Streets, most of which recently ended because of colder weather, beyond that the mayor wants to see it stay in some form.

There is Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, a grand mixed-use, European-style boulevard. There is Avenue B on the Lower East Side, which like other Manhattan residential neighborhoods, is anchored by a park. And then there is 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens, a wide street lined with apartment buildings and townhouses.

Vanderbilt Avenue could become a destination for the surrounding areas by taking advantage of the existing median, expanding it with curves that force drivers to slow down and building a stage for performances.

On Halloween morning, Dayna Rosen stood in the middle of the major thoroughfare connecting Fort Greene to the north and Prospect Park to the south, snapping photos of Monty, her Boston terrier mix. Monty wore a jean jacket and a magenta mohawk.

Ms. Rosen, 40, felt for a moment as if she had been whisked away to another country.

It reminds me of all the squares in Europe, she said.

Until Thanksgiving, Vanderbilt Avenue which stretches 60 feet curb to curb was transformed into a central hub in the Prospect Heights neighborhood. Restaurants stretched into the street.

One block of the avenue has a concrete median with a few planted trees, a splash of greenery in the middle of the two-way street.

The transformation started on Saturday mornings with volunteers moving blue barricades onto the avenue, blocking all cars except emergency vehicles.

Since we live right on this block, we are able to bring our chairs, said Molly Marcotte, as she carried a barricade.

When we asked people who have flocked to Vanderbilt what it needs most, almost everyone mentioned more benches and tables. The existing bike lane should be more clearly marked and improved to try to separate faster cyclists from others, especially children, who are traveling more slowly.

Above all, locals said they want to be able to dictate the future of Vanderbilt and not cede decision making to City Hall.

Jaykuan Marrero, who has cut hair at two barbershops on the street, said he would love to see Vanderbilt converted into an ambitious events space, with a stage for musical and theatrical performances.

Andy Bachman, a rabbi who was getting his hair cut by Mr. Marrero, agreed.

This is a borough of writers, painters and poets, Mr. Bachman said.

The future of a road like Vanderbilt, Ms. Weisz said, begins with the median a 10-foot-wide by 300-foot-long elevated concrete block broken up by nine Japanese zelkova trees.

On many city streets, the median is purely a kind of visual safety barrier and nothing else, Ms. Weisz said.

Ms. Weisz said Vanderbilts median could be extended along additional blocks and expanded outward, becoming a small park.

The islands in the middle of Vanderbilt, Ms. Weisz said, could also provide something sorely needed across the entire city: public bathrooms, which make places more welcoming and allow people to linger longer.

In some countries, users of public bathrooms pay a small fee 25 cents in American dollars, for instance with the proceeds used to hire workers to keep bathrooms clean and stocked with supplies. (The city has five public, climate-controlled restrooms that cost 25 cents to use for 15 minutes.)

Medians could also be used as loading and unloading zones for deliveries. New kinds of bike lanes one dedicated to fast bicyclists, commuters and delivery workers could be added next to the median. There could be a separate lane for leisurely riders.

That is a model embraced by Copenhagen, the cycling-friendly city in Denmark, which has nine so-called supercycle highways crisscrossing the city and its metropolitan area.

Avenue B could be made more inviting to pedestrians by converting the road into a one-way strip near Tompkins Square Park, which would lose its fencing but gain public bathrooms.

Holding a paintbrush lathered in red wood stain, Darrin Arremony knelt on Avenue B on a recent Sunday, applying the first coat on a newly built outdoor dining structure at Barnyard, his wifes cheese restaurant.

As he spread the stain, Mr. Arremony kept an eye on the narrow lanes behind him, watching for traffic. He said it might be safer to convert the open street section of Avenue B, between East 6th and East 14th Streets, into a one-way street.

Today, with parked cars and some restaurants operating on the roadway, there is roughly a 20-foot wide gap on the street for people, bicyclists and some vehicles. Only local car traffic is allowed through.

We definitely need automobile traffic here, Mr. Arremony said. The businesses will need the support of deliveries.

The focal point of the neighborhood is Tompkins Square Park, developed into a landscaped oasis more than 150 years ago on former swampland.

Many locals said the parks best features a place to sit or relax amid greenery should be adopted along Avenue B. Debora Williams, who has lived in the neighborhood for 25 years, said the sidewalks should have more trees and plants.

Converting Avenue B into a permanent open street, she added, would allow schools to use it as a big playground.

Just more greenery would be great, said Ms. Williams, as she walked on Avenue B.

The park encompasses 10.5 acres but most of it is off-limits to people. Fences seal in its perimeter, except for paved entryways into the park. Benches line the paths but are not surrounded by trees and shrubs, which are protected by even more fencing within the park.

Ms. Weisz said the fences were a relic of a different era when residents worried about farm animals roaming into the parkland. Then, It turned into a weird 1970s security thing, she said. But imagine, she said, what the area would look like without fences.

It would be easy to enter the park with paths weaving amid the trees and landscapes, allowing people to escape in the greenery and stay socially distanced.

An international template for Avenue B could be Barcelona, which has superblocks islands of car-free streets. The avenue could be made one-way as an open street, while reverting to a two-way elsewhere.

A wider street would also make room for public bathrooms, she said.

Breaking up the flow of traffic would force drivers to slow down, increasing safety. Avenue B would also benefit from bike lanes and discrete areas for deliveries.

It looks like the perfect shared street, Ms. Weisz said.

In Queens, 34th Avenue could become a long pedestrian promenade by expanding the existing median, which would allow space for features like a workout area and gardens, and would move the existing bike lane away from traffic.

Twice a day, Laurie Gold takes her pit bull mix, Shani, on a long walk more than two miles along 34th Avenue. The straight roadway, whose lanes are separated by an elevated median with plants and trees, is full of people day and night, running, walking or biking.

I love it, Ms. Gold, 29, said about the Open Streets portion, which extends more than a mile from near the Brooklyn Queens Expressway to Junction Boulevard. I wouldnt change anything.

During the pandemic, the avenue has become a family destination. Neighbors stop to chat. Parents push strollers, while children bounce basketballs or zip around on bicycles. Ashley Cedeno, 8, loves playing tag or hide-and-seek.

The street, Ashley said, is for having fun and playing together.

A gathering area on the western half is Travers Park, a two-acre playground and green space surrounded by apartment buildings and schools. While wanting to maintain the avenues residential appeal, some people said they would like more commercial activity, like fairs, food trucks and sidewalk vendors.

On some weekends, farmers and winemakers have set up tents to sell goods. Edwin Cordero, who has lost five pounds in the past month walking his yellow Labrador retriever, Lucy, said there should be more choices.

We dont get street festivals up here at all, said Mr. Cordero.

A street like 34th Avenue is ripe with opportunities, Ms. Weisz said. The roadway stretches about 55 feet across from curb to curb, enough room for the median to be extended to the sidewalk on one side and create a one-way road on the other.

The extended area would create a large section for pedestrians and for more greenery, she said.

While the avenue has a bike lane, it runs between the roadway and parked cars. Ms. Weisz said it would be safer to move it next to the sidewalk to prevent drivers from hitting cyclists with the door when they get out of their vehicles.

It does feel dangerous, she said.

Travers Park could serve as an anchor, a place to add public bathrooms as well as carve out space for vendors and a workout area.

New York could take inspiration from the Tokyo Toilet, architecturally appealing and wheelchair-accessible restrooms found across Shibuya, a major commercial center in Tokyo.

You need some sort of public facilities here, Ms. Weisz said.

LDP may summon Abe to the Diet over dinner party scandal – The Japan Times

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party is looking to call former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to appear in the Diet and address allegations that his camp illegally used political funds to pay for dinner parties, sources with knowledge of the matter said Thursday.

The move is aimed at avoiding a public outcry over the scandal that could erode support for Abe's successor, Yoshihide Suga, the sources said. Abe, who stepped down in September but remains an LDP lawmaker, could make an appearance before the end of the year, they said.

Opposition parties have demanded that Abe answer allegations that a group that manages his political funds paid more than 9 million between 2015 and 2019 to cover part of the cost of dinner parties held at luxury hotels and attended by voters from his constituency in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Abe said Friday he is willing to appear at the Diet. "I will deal with (any questions) sincerely after prosecutors finish their investigation," he told reporters.

Tokyo prosecutors are investigating the case and one of his aides has reportedly admitted to not keeping legally required records of income and expenditures related to the dinner parties, which were held on the eve of the government's annual cherry blossom-viewing parties.

Abe, who while in office had repeatedly denied any impropriety, is expected to apologize for making what turned out to be false statements to the Diet, according to the sources.

The LDP is considering calling the former prime minister to an out-of-session Diet meeting instead of waiting for the start of the regular session on Jan. 18, the sources said, in order to avoid a drawn-out ordeal that could hurt the party in the next House of Representatives election.

A date is expected to be set after deliberation with the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and other opposition forces.

Speaking to journalists Friday, Jun Azumi, the CDP's Diet affairs chief, said Abe had told "lies totally different from the facts" and should be summoned by the end of the year.

A Kyodo News poll conducted this month showed that even among LDP supporters 53.1% of respondents thought Abe should be made to give an explanation in the Diet compared with 43.1% who saw it as unnecessary.

Meanwhile, the Suga administration has seen its approval ratings plummet due to dissatisfaction with its response to the coronavirus pandemic, with a separate graft scandal involving two former farm ministers also giving cause for concern.

The real-life diet of Usain Bolt – British GQ

Archive piece from 2015.

Usain Bolt is not the fastest man alive. In the realm of documented nonfiction, there is no one faster, alive or dead. He is the fastest person, ever.

In the 2012 Olympics, Bolt set a world record of 9.63 seconds at the 100-meter dash, but thats only a small facet of what makes his dominance so remarkable. At the previous games, Bolt became the first sprinter to achieve a double double, where for the second Olympics in a row he won gold medals in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. In 2012, Bolt won golds in both events again. Even with American runners making admirable wins in all of those same races, no sprinter is better known abroad or stateside than Usain Bolt.

When hes not obliterating world records, Bolt is training to break more of them in his home country of Jamaica. And that training typically consists of very long, very hot days. I try not to eat too much up to a workout, but I stay hydrated. I drink Gatorade throughout the day because its so hot in Jamaica, Bolt, a longtime rep for the brand, says. You have to keep it up throughout the day.

One admittedly small advantage to being the fastest person, ever, is having your own cook. Bolt starts the day with a simple egg sandwich, spends 20 minutes in the weight room, then has a light lunch of pasta with corned beef, or, if he needs to go light on meat, fish. Then his training starts for real. During the day I only eat just enough to have energy for training and to make sure I digest fast enough. But at nights, before I go to sleep, I consume a lot of food. My coach wants me to eat a lot of vegetables, so I do eat more of that than anything else. Ill eat broccoli, but Im not a big fan.

The veggies and grudging broccoli go with yams, meat, and Jamaican dumplings. When Bolt first started running, he was much less regimented. In the past three years Ive really focused on my diet. Initially I just had anything I feel like, but Ive adjusted my diet to eat more vegetables and protein.

"Ill eat broccoli, but Im not a big fan."

When you start with a coach and theres a weight you need to stay at, and every day you have to weigh yourself and watch what you eat. When you get your cravings you just have to look the other way. Thats the hardest part.

And most common craving? Hot wings, he says. Thats the biggest craving that I have, all the time.

BreakfastEgg sandwich

LunchPasta and corned beef

Throughout the dayMango, pineapple, apples throughout the day.

DinnerJamaican dumplings, roasted chicken

Robbie Williams ‘almost died’ from mercury poisoning over seafood habit – Yahoo Sports

Robbie Williams (WireImage)

Robbie Williams has shared a fishy tale about his brush with death caused by a seafood diet.

The Angels singer, 46, said that hed been diagnosed with mercury poisoning thanks to a regime that had him eating fish and seafood twice a day.

Williams had thought he was looking after his health, but the toxin reached dangerous levels in his body, leaving him at risk of dying although he admitted the news gave him a strange sort of ego boost.

He told Radio X: Ive got the highest mercury poisoning the doctor has ever seen.

Watch: See Robbie Williams transform into Boris Johnson for his new Christmas single

Do you know what I thought when I heard that? Ive won! Thats how my ego works, Ive got the highestdid you say the highest? Thank you.

I literally won the mercury award, he joked.

Williams said he had gone for the test on the advice of his wife, Ayda Field, saying she was neurotic about getting lots of health tests.

He added: Anyway, thank God, because I couldve dropped dead of mercury and arsenic poisoning.

Former Take That star Williams has been vegan since 2017 and admitted that the mercury poisoning had been part of what made him change his diet, saying that he went plant-based the next day.

Williams recently debuted the video for his festive song Cant Stop Christmas which features him dressed as Boris Johnson and giving a press conference.

The music video makes reference to the coronavirus pandemic and also includes lookalikes of Sir Patrick Vallance, Chris Whitty, and Theresa May.

However, superstar Williams has also said that he thinks his days of topping the singles charts are over and is now concentrating on hitting the top spot in the album charts instead.

He told Smooth Radio: "Im an albums kind of person now, which is wonderful. But I dont even look at the charts now. And I wouldnt even think that I would get anywhere near up there.

Story continues

But if I did, it would be a Christmas miracle and Id be very grateful."
