England suffer Duckett blow after another testing day against Pakistan

England endured another miserable day in Multan as Pakistan strengthened their grip on the first Test.

On a pitch that offered little assistance to the bowlers, Pakistan amassed 556 – Salman Agha becoming the hosts’ third centurion of the innings – with England’s reply hampered by an injury to opener Ben Duckett.

Duckett hurt his left thumb when taking a catch to dismiss Pakistan’s last man Abrar Ahmed, his absence at the top of the England order seeing captain Ollie Pope promote himself alongside Zak Crawley.

Unfortunately, Pope’s selflessness was not rewarded as he lasted just two balls before pulling a short ball from Naseem Shah that seemed destined for the boundary only for Aamer Jamal to produce a stunning, one-handed catch at mid-wicket.

Crawley, who missed the recent series win over Sri Lanka through injury, batted well to reach a run-a-ball 64 not out at the close.

Joe Root also played well for his unbeaten 32 as England moved to 96 for one at the end of day two, a deficit of 460.

Pakistan started the day on 328 for four with England set for another day of toil in the field, and so it proved.

Saud Shakeel batted diligently for his 82 while night watcher Naseem Shah contributed a useful 33.

Naseem’s departure proved again the old adage that ‘one brings two’ as Mohammad Rizwan also went quickly without scoring. And with Pakistan at 397 for six, England were playing their way back into the contest.

That was until Salman got to work in the afternoon session. The 30-year-old took a particular liking to spinner Jack Leach although one big shot too many almost proved his downfall, Chris Woakes deemed not have taken the catch on the boundary after numerous replays.

A swept single saw him reach three figures and he finished on 104 not out before running out of partners.

Motoring expert warns how clock watching can cost you £200

0

Manchester drivers have been warned that simply checking the time on their mobile phone while behind the wheel could land them with six points and a £200 fine.

Laws about the use of handheld devices have been strengthened in recent years, on the back of research that demonstrated how distracting they can be.

Taking calls, sending WhatsApp messages and posting on social media are all major no-nos in the eyes of the law.

There are even strict rules about employing your smartphone as a sat-nav – it must be in a fixed position and journeys planned in full before embarking.

But one little-known aspect of having your phone in your car is that simply “illuminating the screen” is viewed in exactly the same way.

And with many people using their mobile devices to tell the time, rather than wearing a watch, this could be something that catches out millions of Brits.

Mark Tongue, joint CEO of leading vehicle leasing firm Select Van Leasing, said: “You would have to have been living under a rock not to know how seriously the authorities take the offence of driving while using a mobile phone or smart device.

“There have been numerous campaigns to spread awareness and it does seem that the message is getting through to most people.

“But there are always some who insist they are above the law and continue to use their phones in extremely dangerous circumstances.

“However, there are also plenty of people who don’t realise that even a quick press on the screen to check the time can land them in trouble.

“That’s because it is likely to distract them, even for a split second, from concentrating on the road.”

Section 110 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 states: “No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a road if he is using a hand-held mobile telephone.”

It goes on to outline what defines usage, which includes “illuminating the screen” and “checking the time”.

According to Department for Transport figures, there were 15,300 prosecutions for “using or causing others to use a handheld mobile phone whilst driving” last year.

In terms of incidents, 22 people were killed and 652 injured in collisions in Great Britain “where the driver was assigned the contributory factor of using a mobile phone”.

Most people will be looking at a £200 fine and six points on their licence if they are caught. But this can extend to a driving ban and £1,000 fine in more serious cases.

Select Van Leasing’s Mr Tongue said: “The message here is to consider your smartphone completely off limits while you are driving.

“If you do want to use it as a sat-nav, buy a decent holder – which are fairly cheap online – and programme in any routes before you set off, including scheduled stops.

“While it is not against the law to answer a call using a bluetooth speaker system that most modern cars have, it’s worth remembering that this can also be a distraction.

“So think whether it is vital to do so and maybe just wait until you reach your destination before calling someone back.”

Lighting the way in art: Bolton’s Neon Creations

If you’ve got Abby Clancy, Peter Crouch, Little Mix and a whole host of famous faces among your customers, you must be doing something right.

Neon Creations Ltd make fabulously funky signs and pieces of art using neon lights at their impressive studio in Bolton.

And the most thrilling part for London-born owner Tony Spink, is that because his hobby has turned into his dream career, he loves going to work every day.

PXL 20240930 105543609

Customers enjoy approaching the company as they know they’ll get a unique piece of art with 40 colours for neon lights available. Using phospherous powder, neon gas and coloured glass the team makes some wonderful artistic signs and artworks to any specification.

You’ll see their neon signs up at Almost Famous restaurants in Manchester and even on the Coronation Street cobbles in Weatherfield.

And with that kind of exposure it’s not hard to see why their work has become so popular.

Following the covid pandemic Brits have become more interested in making their homes strikingly individual. Artisan businesses that create bespoke pieces of furniture and artwork are in high demand as they can give rooms a unique twist for a reasonable cost.

The hype all started as a youngster when Tony spotted an advert in London for a ‘neon glass bender’ and was so intrigued that he applied. He had wanted to work for a company that made signs as he loves the process of seeing a finished product.

After learning all the tricks of the trade for several years, even offering to work extra hours in his lunch breaks to gather every bit of skill he could, he finally decided to set up his own neon lights company in Manchester.

Since he co-founded Neon Creations in 2005, he has developed his passion into a viable business which has grown from strength to strength – and he’s always the last to leave the workshop each night, unless Millwall FC are on the telly.

His wife Catherine even quit her marketing job to help Tony set the artisan skill aside from the LED lighting being offered by some online companies.

PXL 20240930 105339844.MP

Tony (pictured) said: “People talk about getting neon lights for their restaurant or their bar or their home, and order these LED ones from China. It’s just not the same thing. Cheap plastic LED lights don’t last as long or offer the same 360 degrees illumination, and of course, they’re not filled with neon gas.

“There is no machinery that makes these lights. The first neon lights were created in 1912 and they’re still made the same way today. It’s an absolute skill that takes years to master as everything is done by hand.

“We’ve got a really good reputation here. I really am a stickler for quality not quantity.”

Most of Tony’s custom made neon signs are supplied either ready to hang or fully encased in an acrylic box/panel, all you have to do is plug it in and admire! But the team also offers help with installing larger products.

Custom made bar signs start at £350+VAT but Tony’s unique artwork using lights (pictured) start at £2,400+VAT.

For more information, or to try your hand on a glass bending workshop, visit:Neon Signs | Custom Made Neon Signs | Neon Creations.

You can see some of Tony’s work at a Neon Art Exhibition – Glass & Light: A neon journey since 1912 – until October 29 (closed Sundays and Mondays) at Castle Park Arts Centre in Frodsham, Cheshire.

Adamsons celebrates 40 years of success – milestone event to be held in Dukinfield

Adamsons, the home transformation expert, is celebrating four decades of industry success this month.

From humble beginnings in 1984, the company has grown into a renowned name in home renovations, completing over 6,000 projects and employing a team of 20 staff members who continue to uphold the company’s commitment to quality, care, and customer service.

First established in 1984 by Colin and Susan Moors in their family home, Adamsons is a second-generation family business, now being led by Rachel Moors.

What began as a small operation quickly gained a reputation for its attention to detail and empathetic approach to clients’ needs. By 1990, the company had outgrown its initial setup, prompting the construction of its own head office in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester. This was followed a year later by the opening of a dedicated showroom to showcase its new interiors service, allowing Adamsons to expand its offerings from construction to complete home transformations.

Over the past 40 years, Adamsons has seen considerable growth and success, not only in terms of the number of home transformation projects completed across Greater Manchester and Cheshire but also in the loyalty and talent of its team.

To mark this significant milestone, Adamsons will be hosting a 40th anniversary event on Saturday, October 12, from 10.30am – 4pm, at its newly revamped showroom at Adamson House, Outram Road, Dukinfield, Cheshire SK16 4XE.

The event will feature expert talks from industry professionals on current home design trends, cooking demonstrations, showroom tours and live entertainment.

Rachel Moors, managing director of Adamsons, said: “When my parents started Adamsons back in 1984, they set out with a vision to deliver construction services that offered excellent customer service. That vision quickly resonated with our customers, and by the early ’90s, we had grown into a company capable of handling every aspect of home transformation.

“Reaching 40 years is a testament to the hard work of our team and the trust our clients have placed in us. While much has changed in the industry since we began, our core values of integrity, empathy, and customer service have remained. These principles have been the backbone of our success, and we are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to many more years of serving our community and continuing the legacy my parents began.”

The Lowry performance not to be missed: Slave – A Question of Freedom

An exceptional award-winning play about enslavement is set to hit The Lowry this week and is not to be missed.

Feelgood Theatre Productions‘ Slave – A Question of Freedom is based on a true story of a girl’s fight for survival in the 1990s and will take the audience on a rollercoaster of emotions.

And BusinessManchester.co.uk visitors can see the show this Wednesday or Thursday for just £10 a ticket using this code.

Mende Nazer’s tale is set in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan and London, and tells of her joyful childhood until the raiders on horseback come. They burn the village, murder, abduct and enslave the children.  Twelve-year-old Mende was one of those children.

image0

For seven long years she was kept as a domestic slave, not knowing whether the rest of her family was alive – and her story told through drama is a shocking first-person insight into the modern day slave trade.  It is also a fascinating memoir of an African childhood and a moving testimony to a young girl’s indomitable spirit in the face of adversity.

The performance at The Lowry is told by an outstanding ensemble of eight actor-musicians as a feast of storytelling, music and dance – a celebration of Mende’s spirit, the beauty of the ancient Nuba culture, but also the horror of trafficking and modern slavery.

Mende’s inspiring story – which inspired the BAFTA nominated film I Am Slave on Channel 4 – transcends borders and her voice beckons us to consider the essence of freedom, and to question why fifty million people around the world are enslaved today.

Caroline Clegg, fresh from directing the first ever staged production of The Liverpool Oratorio by Sir Paul McCartney in Cincinnati, USA, is at the helm for this production, with music composed by Carol Donaldson. It’s written by Kevin Fegan; taken from the autobiography “Slave (Virago)” by Mende Nazer & Damien Lewis.

In parallel to the production, Feelgood is working with the Nuba community, the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Unit at the University of Manchester, the Human Trafficking Foundation the Bakhita Centre at St Mary’s University and the William Wilberforce Institute.

Since 2010, Caroline Clegg has continued to raise awareness of the situation in Sudan with the Mende Nazer Foundation and in 2016 Mende and Caroline, travelled together to the Nuba Mountains to experience the reality and also take medical aid.  Subsequent work has seen the building of a clinic and installation of water pumps.

Feelgood’s 30th anniversary national tour begins at The Lowry, Salford Quays before moving onto Bristol’s Tobacco Factory, Shakespeare North, Prescott and then onto the Riverside Studios, London.

Slave – A Question of Freedom runs  at The Lowry from Wednesday, October 9 until Saturday, October 12, with six performances available. Tickets can be booked here: Slave: A Question of Freedom | What’s on | The Lowry

Miracle Cash & More Launches Groundbreaking Liquidity Pool on Avalanche Blockchain

0

Phoenic Leveller introduces leveraged liquidity trading, offering traders new flexibility and greater potential for returns in the DeFi space.

Miracle Cash & More, a leading name in decentralised finance (DeFi) innovation, has launched a new liquidity pool on the Avalanche blockchain. The Phoenic Leveller platform is the first of its kind, allowing users to leverage their liquidity positions, a major milestone for the DeFi sector. With this new feature, Miracle Cash & More aims to offer traders more opportunities to boost their returns and increase their trading flexibility.

Enhancing Trading with Larger Positions

Phoenic Leveller’s liquidity pool provides users with the ability to amplify their liquidity, enabling them to take larger trading positions. This distinguishes the platform from traditional liquidity pools, where users typically contribute liquidity without the option to leverage. Through Phoenic Leveller, traders can now borrow against their existing assets, opening the door to higher returns and more sophisticated trading strategies.

Phoenic Leveller operates on the Avalanche blockchain, known for its high scalability, low transaction fees, and fast processing times. This combination of leverage and Avalanche’s infrastructure ensures a smooth trading experience for users, whether they are new to DeFi or seasoned traders. Miracle Cash & More’s platform is designed to cater to all levels of expertise.

A Secure and Scalable DeFi Solution

“We’re incredibly excited to introduce leveraged liquidity trading through Phoenic Leveller,” said Hakan Törehan, CEO of Miracle Cash & More. “This innovative product, born from our Code Node investors, is set to become an on-chain NFT and marks a pivotal advancement in the DeFi space. By integrating with Avalanche, we’re providing traders with a secure, scalable, and dynamic environment to maximise opportunities. It’s a true game-changer in how people engage with decentralised finance.”

This launch coincides with Miracle Cash & More’s strategic partnership with Ingenico, which operates a network of over 40 million POS units globally, highlighting the company’s ambition to lead the future of financial technology.

Benefits for Phoenic Leveller Users

Phoenic Leveller’s key feature is its ability to offer leveraged liquidity, allowing traders to increase their returns by accessing more capital than they initially contribute. This enhanced flexibility helps traders manage risks more effectively and optimise their capital usage. Miracle Cash & More’s intuitive platform design makes these features accessible to both new and experienced users. Low transaction fees and rapid settlement times further enhance the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the platform.

Smart Contracts Ensure Security and Transparency

The platform is underpinned by smart contracts, which ensure transparency and secure the automation of transactions. These contracts provide users with confidence, knowing their positions and liquidity are protected by a robust blockchain system.

Phoenic Leveller is part of Miracle Cash & More’s wider strategy to expand its offering in the DeFi market. By introducing advanced trading capabilities, the company is establishing itself as a leader in decentralised finance, giving users greater control and more opportunities to grow in the blockchain economy.

The Phoenic Token also plays a central role in the platform’s ecosystem. A strategic buy-back initiative supports the token’s value, and users can trade Phoenic Tokens for other cryptocurrencies, adding further flexibility and liquidity to the ecosystem.
