Freedom routs Nazareth

Posted on by

Not only did Freedom score touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams during Friday night's 67-34 romp over Nazareth in an Eastern Pennsylvania Conference football game, the Patriots did it in the first three minutes, 30 seconds.

It was an extremely complete team effort.

Individually, senior two-way standout Jake Young showed he can score every which way.

Young accomplished the extremely rare individual offense-defense-special teams trifecta of touchdowns.

He recovered a fumble in the end zone in the first quarter, caught a 21-yard scoring strike from his younger brother, Joe, in the second quarter and returned the opening kickoff of the second half 87 yards for a TD.

It was that kind of night for coach Jason Roeder's upstart Patriots, who improved to 2-0 after last year's 2-8 campaign.

Seven Freedom players scored touchdowns.

"We knew we were going to play a lot of kids tonight," Roeder said on the unseasonably hot and humid evening.

"Offense, defense and special teams, we preached to the kids that they needed to be ready. I was very pleased with our effort. We're playing hard, we're playing fast and we're playing together. And because of that we've been successful."

Freedom, picked for the middle of the pack in the EPC's South Division, scored 27 points in the first quarter and 21 more in the second period in their home opener at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium. The Patriots led 48-20 at intermission.

Govt won't retract freedom of speech in social media – Najib

Posted on by

JERLUN, Sept 5 (Bernama) -- The government will not retract the freedom of speech in the social media but wants the freedom to be exercised with accountability, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister said the government practised an open attitude but it was the responsibility of the people, especially the young generation or 'Gen Y' to understand that there was a limit to freedom.

"I want to issue a warning that the existing law will be imposed on anyone attempting to jeopardise peace. This is certainly in force," he said in his speech when opening the Jerlun Umno divisional delegates meeting at the Sekolah Menengah Sains Kubang Pasu, here today.

He said that the Sedition Act would be abolished and would be replaced by the proposed National Harmony Act, but matters pertaining to religion and race would not be neglected.

Najib said the government would not allow freedom that did not adhere to the principles of accountability especially regarding Islamic religion, the other faiths as well as the special privileges of the Malays and the Malay Rulers.

"We must defend...(we are) not saying there is a new legislation and the rest will be put aside...but we will add in more appropriate provisions," he said.

He said although there would be freedom and openness, he hoped these would not result in extreme cases cropping up because there must be maturity in thinking in whatever action taken.

"There must be a limit...(because of) this principle of accountability, we must look for a formula where we provide space for the freedom of speech including comments on the leaders but, at the same time, there must be a limit so as not to destroy peace and national harmony," he said.

Also present at the function were Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir, who is also the Jerlun Umno division head, Perlis Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man, Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah and Deputy Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid.

Najib said that in implementing anything new, including legislation and action which were open in nature, he took into consideration the views of many groups before implementing it.

Hull Freedom Festival, September 5 to 7

Posted on by

THE opening of the Freedom Festival 2014 in Hull will be marked by tonight's (FRI) unveiling of The Long Walk To FreedomLight Trail, a specially commissioned exhibition of new artworks inspired by Nelson Mandela and his contribution to the causes of freedom and reconciliation.

Mandela's greatest moments and achievements are re-imagined as installations of light, colour and sound as magical light displays blaze a trail through Hull's cobbled Old Town.

The Long Walk To Freedom recognises the parallels between Mandelas work and the origins of the Freedom Festival, which celebrates Hulls independent spirit and historic contribution to the cause of freedom, as the birthplace of pioneering Hull-born MP William Wilberforce, who led the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire.

Set in Hulls emerging Fruit Market area, against the backdrop of Hull Marina, the Freedom Festival is the citys premier cultural event and will provide a taster of what visitors can expect in its City of Culture year in 2017.

The event runs from today until Sunday and features internationally renowned artists, street performance, music, dance, comedy, spoken-word performers and participatory attractions in its diverse, family-friendly line-up.

Look out for the Ted Hughes Award-winning poet and rapper Kate Tempest in a free event on the Bridge Stage tomorrow at 10pm. Kate started out rapping on London night buses and at raves and poetry slams and has returned to her hip-hop roots with the release of her debut album, Everybody Down. Expect storytelling and an impassioned performance style from Kate, whose first novel will be published next year.

Among the music highlights on the Yellow Bus Stage will be soul queen Ruby Turner tomorrow at 5pm; Hull soul legend Roland Gift, from Fine Young Cannibals, tomorrow at 7.30pm; and New York vocal harmony group Naturally 7 on Sunday at 5pm. DJs Andy Kershaw and Keb Darge and Indojazz clarinettist Arun Ghosh will be in action too.

In a theatre partnership with Hulls Heads Up Festival, Theatre Ad Infinitum's drag cabaret on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Ballad Of The Burning Star, will explore identity, religion and politics through a combination of music, knock-out heels and a lethal troop of divas.The company also will present a children's show, The Incredible Book Eating Boy.

Spoken-word and poetry highlights will be Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, CBeebies star Dominic Berry and punk-poet Attila the Stockbroker, while street art and performance shows will include the contemporary circus company NoFit State in Acrojous The Wheel House and C-12s Trolleys; BMX star Keelan Phillips; and performance-parkour from The Urban Playground.

Look out too for the epic love story-turned-outdoor spectacular Spellbound; interactive performance and restaurant-with-a-twist Ready Steady Colour; and the community parade A World Of Colour, involving hundreds of Hull residents and organisations on Sunday in Hull city centre at 3pm.

A2 Corp cornerstone shareholder Freedom Foods buys $589k of shares after dilution

Posted on by

ASX-listed Freedom Foods Group [ASX: FNP]bought almost one million shares of A2 Milk Co [NZX: ATM] this week for about $589,000 after its stake was diluted in the past year due to the issue of partly-paid shares.

The Sydney-based food company bought 942,500 shares in four transactions in A2 this week at an average price of about 62.5 cents, according to a substantial shareholder notice filed to the NZX. Freedom Foods holds about 117.9 million shares, or 17.9 percent of A2, leaving it as the biggest shareholder in the milk marketing company.

Because A2 issued partly-paid shares to executives earlier this year, Freedom Foods' stake was diluted down from 18.1 percent when it made its last disclosure in December 2012.

Shares of A2 rose 1.6 percent to 63 cents today, and have dropped 23 percent this year. The stock is rated an average 'buy' based on four analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters, with a median target price of 80 cents.

Last month A2 reported a slump in annual profit to $10,000, even as sales rose 17 percent to $111 million, as a strong kiwi dollar eroded the value of revenue and earnings.

In its Aug. 29 results announcement, Freedom Foods said it intends to keep a strategic stake in A2 in the medium-term, while keeping the option to "realise capital from the investment to support growth opportunities."

Freedom Foods said A2 offers "potentially significant value creation" through the milk marketing firm's growth in Australia and international markets.

Shares of Freedom Foods rose 3.7 percent to A$3.12 on the ASX yesterday, and have climbed 13 percent this year.
