Sun: Well as long as we can see it that will be good. And a real change from the rain we’ve had here in the UK.

Stoke lost 2 – 1 away at Middlesbrough. We were 0 – 1 up but gave it away with sloppy defending.

BBC internet radio petition gathers pace

news Админ.US5LOC -
...A petition calling on the BBC to reinstate its internet radio stations to third-party apps has attracted nearly 2,000 signatures.

In a blogpost at the time, the BBC said that it was making the move because services like TuneIn do not allow it to collect data on its streams.

Data is more and more important – as it helps us to make more types of programmes we know people like, and equally importantly, identify gaps in our commissioning to ensure we’re making something for all audiences. We also use the data collected about what you watch, li

... On October 10th, the following was posted on the Pitcairn Island DXpedition VP6R Web page  (  https://pitcairndx.com/news-and-updates ) [edited]: "I experienced a sudden and relatively severe, acute illness and  was hospitalized for a number of days.  I am recovering at home, but  the risk of compromising the DXpedition to Pitcairn Island is too great  for me to make the trip with the team.  My friend Glenn, W0GJ, will  take on my responsibilities and the DXpedition will proceed as otherwise planned. "Most team members will have begun their travels within the next 24-48 hours.  The October 15th flight to Mangareva and boarding of the Brave- heart remain on schedule. This is a great disappointment for me, but the show will go on.  I  thank all of you for your past encouragement and support.  I have great  confidence in all of our team members; they will give this DXpedition  their all.....  Ralph – K0IR " "The team members are very disappointed that Ralph, K
