Pendant la grossesse, les bactéries intestinales changent

Depuis quelques années, les efforts des scientifique s’intensifient pour mieux comprendre le microbiote, cet ensemble de cent mille milliards de bactéries digestives, également appelé flore intestinale. D’après une étude récemment publiée dans la revue Cell, des chercheurs américains ont réussi à mettre en évidence le fait que durant la grossesse, la composition du microbiote change complètement entre le 1^er et le 3^ème trimestre. Étonnant, le microbiote du 3^ème trimestre présente tous les signes de celui retrouvé en cas de syndrome métabolique. Mais il s’agirait d’une adaptation bénéfique pour la femme enceinte.

La composition du microbiote fluctue en fonction de l'état de santé, l'alimentation… et la grossesse.

Le microbiote, un génome bisAprès avoir réussi à séquencer l’ADN de nos cellules– sans pour autant en percer tous les mystères – les chercheurs s’attaquent aujourd’hui à l’ADN du

microbiote, ces bactéries qui peuplent nos intestins. Deux projets ont vu le jour de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique : en Europe, c’est le projet

MetaHIT (pour “Metagenomics of the human intestinal tract“) et aux Etats-Unis, le projet s’intitule Human Microbiome Project.Si l’on sait que cette flore intestinale a 4 grandes fonctions principales (la dégradation de composés d’origine alimentaire (les fibres par exemple), la production de

vitamines (K, B12, B8…), le développement du tube digestif et surtout la défense immunitaire), il semblerait que certaines de ces bactéries puissent être impliquées dans la constitution de processus pathologiques :

syndrome métabolique,

obésité, troubles mentaux…La grossesse induit des changements du microbioteL’équipe de Ruth Ley, de la Cornell University et auteur principale de l’étude, s’est intéressée, pour la première fois, aux éventuels changements du microbiote intervenant durant la

grossesse. Pour cela, ils ont analysé l’ADN contenu dans les selles de 91 femmes enceintes et ce, au 1^er et au 3^ème trimestre. S’ils n’ont pas été surpris de constater que la composition du microbiote avait beaucoup changé entre ces deux périodes, celle du 3^ème trimestre était “moins normale“ et moins diversifiée qu’en début de grossesse : les bactéries “bonnes pour la santé“ sont moins nombreuses alors que celles liées à des maladies prolifèrent.Or, dans des conditions “normales“, ce type de modification du microbiote est associé à des symptômes du syndrome métabolique, c’est-à-dire une prise de poids, un métabolisme du glucose anormal et une inflammation (réponse immunitaire censée protéger l’organisme mais qui peut être à l’origine de diverses maladies). Mais chez la femme enceinte, cette composition anormale du microbiote n’affecterait ni sa santé, ni celle de son enfant. “C’est la première caractérisation en profondeur du microbiote intestinal lors de la grossesse“, selon Ruth Ley. Nos résultats montrent que notre corps co-évolue avec le microbiote et peut l’utiliser en tant qu’outil, ici pour le modifier de manière positive pour aider le métabolisme de la mère à supporter la croissance du fœtus“.Des effets délétères possibles… mais pas chez la femme enceinte Pour vérifier les effets métaboliques associés à ce microbiote modifié, les chercheurs l’ont transféré à des souris élevées en milieu stérile : résultat, celles qui avaient reçu le microbiote du 3^ème trimestre étaient plus grosses, montraient des niveaux plus élevés des marqueurs inflammatoires et un moins bon métabolisme du glucose que celles ayant reçu celui du 1^er trimestre. Heureusement, ces anomalies ne surviennent pas chez la femme enceinte.“Au 3^ème trimestre, le microbiote peut induire des changements métaboliques. Mais dans le contexte de la grossesse, ces changements sont sains parce qu’ils favorisent le stockage énergetique et aident le fœtus. Mais en dehors de la grossesse, ces changements peuvent aboutir au développement d’un

diabète de type 2 et d’autres maladies“, souligne Ruth Ley.Quant à savoir si ces modifications sont à l’origine d’effets observés chez la femme enceinte ou s’ils sont la conséquence du phénomène de la grossesse, la question reste ouverte à de plus amples recherches.Click Here: Cheap Golf Golf Clubs

L’infection à chlamydia au cœur d’une campagne web de sensibilisation

L’Institut national de prévention et d’éducation pour la santé (Inpes) réalise en partenariat avec Sida Info Service une campagne de sensibilisation sur la chlamydia, une infection sexuellement transmissible rare qui touche particulièrement les jeunes. Diffusée sur Internet entre le 3 septembre et le 15 octobre, la campagne a pour objectif d’informer les 18-24 ans sur le caractère asymptomatique de l’infection et sur l’importance du dépistage.

L’infection à chlamydia au cœur d’une campagne web de sensibilisation.

Chlamydia, kézaco ? Méconnue en France, l’infection à chlamydia est une infection sexuellement transmissible qui se transmet lors de rapports sexuels non protégés. Cette IST, qui touche les femmes, les hommes et plus particulièrement les jeunes gens de 18 à 24 ans, a la particularité d’être asymptomatique. S’il arrive qu’elle se manifeste par des pertes vaginales anormales, des douleurs abdominales ou pelviennes chez la femme et par des écoulements péniens et des brûlures chez l’homme, l’infection à chlamydia est souvent discrète (64% des femmes et 68 % des hommes ayant eu un dépistage positif en 2009 n’avaient identifié aucun signe).

Pour cette raison, la détection de l’infection à chlamydia est souvent tardive et porteuse de conséquences graves. Découverte plusieurs années après la contamination, l’IST peut entraîner douleurs chroniques, grossesse extra-utérine et stérilité tubaire. Particulièrement contagieuse, l’infection à chlamydia entraîne davantage de complications chez la femme, mais le risque d’infection et de transmission est tout aussi présent chez les hommes, d’où l’importance du dépistage pour les deux partenaires.La nécessité du dépistage
Si l’utilisation du préservatif est la seule façon de se protéger de l’infection à chlamydia, le dépistage reste un moyen efficace de détecter et de soigner – relativement facilement – l’IST.
Simple prélèvement local, urinaire ou vaginal, le dépistage de l’infection à chlamydia peut s’effectuer dans le cadre d’une consultation de contrôle chez un médecin généraliste ou spécialiste, en laboratoire d’analyse médicale ou dans l’un des centres de dépistage gratuits, accessibles sans rendez-vous (les centres d’information, de dépistage et de diagnostic des IST (CIDDIST), les centres de dépistage anonyme et gratuit (CDAG), les centres de planification et d’éducation familiale (CPEF)).Sensibiliser les jeunes et les inciter à se faire dépister
Pour la première campagne de prévention diffusée sur Internet, l’Institut national de prévention et d’éducation pour la santé (Inpes) a choisi de s’adresser principalement aux jeunes âgés de 18 à 24 ans, qui sont les plus touchés par l’IST (3,6% des femmes et 2,4% des hommes de cette tranche d’âge sont infectés).
Intitulée “Connaissez-vous chlamydia ? Nous pouvons tous être porteurs sans le savoir“, la campagne de sensibilisation communique sur le mode de transmission, le caractère silencieux des symptômes, les conséquences à long terme, les différents moyens de protection et les possibilités de dépistage et de traitement. Lancée le 3 septembre sur site Info-ist.fr, la campagne s’articule autour de deux films viraux et de bannières Internet. Pour l’occasion, un

questionnaire permettant d’évaluer son risque d’être infecté a également été mis en place.Informations et conseils pratiques sur la prévention et le dépistage de chlamydia et des autres IST accessibles sur le site

Kirsten Dunst et Mark Ruffalo au rayon indé

Kirsten Dunst jouera le rôlé d’une prostituée dans “Red light winter”, une production indépendante inspirée d’une pièce de théâtre. Mark Ruffalo et Billy Crudup font aussi partie du casting.

Auréolée de son Prix d’interprétation à Cannes pour sa prestation de mariée dépressive dans Melancholia, Kirsten Dunst a déclaré dans une interview à Hollywood On Thomson (via thePlaylist) qu’elle jouerait le rôle d’une prostituée dans Red light winter, un film indépendant produit par Scott Rudin (collaborateur régulier de David Fincher, Wes Anderson ou encore des frères Coen). Il s’agit de l’adaptation d’une pièce de théâtre de l’Américain Adam Rapp, qui sera lui-même derrière la caméra (on lui doit déjà deux longs métrages, inédits en France, et des scénarios pour les séries En analyse ou The L Word). La pièce d’origine raconte la relation trouble qui unit deux amis new-yorkais, partis en voyage à Amsterdam, et une prostituée rencontrée dans le fameux Quartier rouge. Les deux personnages masculins seront interprétés par Mark Ruffalo (à l’affiche de The Avengers en avril prochain) et Billy Crudup, ex-grand espoir du cinéma américain (Presque célèbre, Jesus’ Son, The Hi-Lo Country) qui enchaîne aujourd’hui les rôles secondaires dans les grosses productions. Kirsten Dunst, qui vient de tourner dans la comédie Bachelorette, devrait se retrouver bientôt sur les écrans français dans Sur la route de Walter Salles et Upside Down de Juan Solanas, dex films qui attendent encore leur date de sortie.

L'exercice physique "aussi efficace" que les médicaments ?

Pratiquer régulièrement une activité physique pourrait être au moins aussi efficace que les médicaments pour prévenir ou accompagner certaines pathologies, selon une étude publiée mercredi dans une revue médicale britannique.

L’exercice physique serait même un peu plus efficace que les médicaments dans la rééducation de patients ayant fait un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) ou dans la prévention des complications ou de la récidive chez des patients atteints d’une affection coronarienne.Provoquée par des lésions au niveau des parois des vaisseaux qui irriguent le coeur (artères coronaires), la maladie coronarienne est la forme la plus courante de maladie du coeur. Elle peut entraîner une crise cardiaque, si un de ses vaisseaux se bouche.Des chercheurs britanniques et américains ont passé en revue les données fournies par plus de 300 études scientifiques internationales ayant porté au total sur 339.000 personnes pour tenter d’évaluer l’impact de l’exercice physique sur diverses pathologies en terme de mortalité.En se basant sur les résultats de 77 essais portant sur la prévention secondaire (après un accident) de la maladie coronaire, ils ont découvert que l’exercice physique était “aussi efficace“ , voire même légèrement supérieur à un traitement à base de statines, des médicaments prescrits pour combattre l’excès de cholestérol.Ils ont également montré un très léger avantage de l’exercice physique par rapport à un traitement médicamenteux (notamment anticoagulants) utilisé dans les suites d’un AVC.A l’inverse, les diurétiques se sont avérés nettement plus performants que l’exercice physique dans le traitement de l’insuffisance cardiaque.Les auteurs de l’article publié dans le British Medical Journal (BMJ) reconnaissent l’existence de limites à leurs travaux, liées notamment au manque d’études consacrées à l’impact de l’activité physique sur les principales pathologies, alors que les études sur les médicaments foisonnent.Mais ils estiment que malgré ces incertitudes, l’activité physique “est potentiellement aussi efficace que de nombreuses interventions médicamenteuses“.Les autorités sanitaires devraient demander aux laboratoires pharmaceutiques d’inclure la comparaison de leurs nouvelles molécules avec l’exercice physique, lors des essais cliniques, préalables à la commercialisation des nouveaux médicaments, estiment les auteurs.Enfin, “dans les cas où le médicament n’offre qu’un bénéfice modeste, les patients ont le droit de savoir quel impact relatif l’activité physique pourrait avoir sur leur maladie“, ajoutent-ils.Source : Relaxnews

Henry names one thing critics ‘forget’ about Invincibles

Thierry Henry believes “people forget” one key thing about the Arsenal Invincibles.

Arsenal remain the only team in Premier League history to go an entire season unbeaten, and the second in English top-flight history after Preston’s 1888/89 side.

The achievement has been put into stark context in recent years by the brilliance of Manchester City and Liverpool, who have both dominated different seasons but still been beaten at some point.

The Invincibles are downplayed by some, however, due to their relatively poor record in cup competitions.

Arsenal were beaten in the semi-final of the FA Cup by Manchester United, the semi-final of the League Cup by Middlesbrough and the quarter-final of the Champions League by Chelsea.

But Henry believes one sequence of four games in eight April 2004 days is overlooked.

Arsenal played United in the FA Cup on April 3, Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League tie on April 6, then had Premier League games against Liverpool on April 9 and Newcastle on April 11.

Those matches ended in a 1-0 defeat, a 2-1 defeat, a 4-2 win and a 0-0 draw respectively, and Henry feels that sort of fixture congestion is something clubs complain about almost two decades later.

“People talk a lot about that moment,” he told Sky Sports. “People forget we had to play in eight days: Chelsea, Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool. People forget that.

“I didn’t play against Man United at Villa. You know how upset I was? We collapsed in one half against Chelsea, rightly so they beat us. We’re human.

“Those four games in eight days. We asked to see if they could change it. They didn’t move anything for us.

“These problems people are complaining about now, we had it then. No-one cried for us. Nobody.”

Project Restart
Re: JN’s Pros and cons of Project Restart

Surely this whole debate is on the likely delusional premise that next season will happen? Why not right off next season and finish this one as and when it’s reasonably safe to do so with crowds, maybe even restart at the same time next year as it finished this year. In the meantime wait for an appropriate time to get something going, likely behind closed doors and get imaginative, concocting bespoke Covid year tournaments, possibly regional leagues/cups. Might even be a good opportunity to experiment with different formats/rules…
James, Bristol

…Responding to Jon Nic’s article, as I’m sure we’re required to do, I can see both pros and cons but unfortunate John has widely missed the mark.

Each of John’s first five cons are questionable:

1) Football without a crowd may not have the atmosphere but the easy solution is to turn off the sound on your TV. Instead of the sterile environment you can enjoy the quality of the football while listening to other things. I’ve done this many times when in a busy lounge and thoroughly enjoyed it.

2) Neutral grounds aren’t great but they’re the best solution available.

3) This is pure conjecture. There is no evidence to suggest the novelty of watching football will wear off. I have watched games when away on business between two teams I’ve never heard of as an alternative to rubbish TV.

4) Take a quick look at the table. With City banned from the Champions League, Palace in eleventh, level on points with Burnley, are only 6 points off a qualifying position, and with every team from 15th down in danger of relegation, there will be few meaningless games.

5) Why will the whole schedule derail with one positive test? Most of the country will be working in June, in pretty sure we’re more resilient than that. Every winter when there’s a flu outbreak it kills approximately 40,000 people. We don’t stop when someone sneezes in the crowd.

You’ve probably guessed that I’m in the pro camp. Putting everything else aside I think it’ll be good for the mental health of a significant number of people.
Rob

Lock them up
Is anyone else even a tiny bit excited at the prospect of watching football without fans? I think it’s intriguing. Granted there won’t be the added comfort or advantage of home support but with the games potentially being held at neutral venues I imagine it’ll be somewhat surreal for players anyway. Listening to the communications between players, hearing the actual leaders on the pitch, the orders being barked from the side – what’s not to like?

Speaking of the players, fully understand the worry and hesitancy shown by some in being rushed back onto a football pitch but I disagree that this is solely for people’s entertainment. This is their profession and their livelihood, and if there’s a risk that their football club could face severe financial difficulty then these guys should be working to prevent that. Why not lock teams and their staff etc down for 4-6 weeks and get the games finished? Like in a World Cup scenario for instance. Didn’t Capello prevent players from seeing WAGs, families, etc during one WC campaign – would this really be any different?

Dazza, Dublin

Project Rethink
The problem I have with ‘Project Restart’ is the name itself. Yes, of course we will need to restart at some point in time in the future. But only when everyone is ready – players, officials, club staff and supporters. Their health and safety is paramount.

The focus of Project Restart seems to be on finding any way possible to start our game again with little or no consideration for fundamental issues that will continue to blight the sport. We all know there is too much money at the top, clubs are in thrall to TV companies and European/World competitions are run by self-serving organisations who are prone to skulduggery. There is now a great threat of smaller clubs going bankrupt and the game itself could wither and die without some drastic action.

We should use this time wisely as an opportunity to reevaluate the game at home and abroad. What sort of game do we want? Is so much football really necessary? How should clubs be run and should there be spending/wage limits? How do we plan for future stoppages? How do we ensure the survival of lower league and grassroots football?

Football will be back – but is football in empty neutral stadiums what we really want? The world has changed and football needs to adapt. ‘Project Rethink’ would be a more appropriate name for what the game needs.

Cheers
James Sadler

…Yay, another article by Johnny Nic about football and its relationship with money. For any fans of father Ted, my quick response.

Next up, Jeremy Corbyn’s “Project Capitalism: Does it really work?”

I get it. I advocate it. The PL probably won’t, and probably shouldn’t restart this season. But prizes and places have to be awarded, UEFA have stipulated that, and it will do much more damage to the integrity of the Premier League if we kick off the next campaign, knowing that there will probably be another spike in deaths and lock down at some point next winter, without being sure if any of it really counts. Then we truly have reached Groundhog Day.

If I have indeed misread the mood, and people are interested in Johnny Nic’s take on things, then he has written a few books. I bought one once, and they genuinely make the prose of Steve Bruce look like Charles Dickens. To avoid nasty surprises, please be aware that he does request payment in money rather than buttons.
Adam, LFC

Bring on the sportswashing
All this talk of the financial difficulties facing football during lockdown has got me thinking about financial fair play and foreign investment.

With clubs facing a third month without gate revenue and facing the prospect of giving back TV money, there is surely no option but to relax FFP rules?

To expand on this point further, could the likes of the Saudi Arabia buyout of Newcastle actually benefit the game in its current predicament? A big 300m transfer splurge straight out of the pockets of the Saudis, along with big spending from the likes of PSG, Chelsea and Man City’s owners would provide a big injection of outside cash into the game that could kickstart the transfer merry-go-round and filter its way through to smaller clubs.

Could ‘sportswashing’ inadvertently save our game?

Kind Regards
Ken, Wisconsin

Reds reminder
We all know there will be huge amounts of revisionism from certain quarters if Liverpool either get ‘awarded’ the title if it can’t finish, or win it in whatever format they are able to put together. There will be Asterisks everywhere.

This total denial would have happened anyway, even if the season hadn’t been interrupted. We have had luck, VAR conspiracy, sh*te league (city??) suggestions thrown at us already.

So just a reminder how ridiculously good they have been. 27 out of 29 wins. Most points ever in EPL history at this stage (possibly ever?) On the back of a 97 point season and current European and World Champions.

Personally I am praying for the day I can watch the Reds in person again but unfortunately that’s a way off. The leagues will need to find the safest way possible to continue as best they can in the meantime otherwise there won’t be a game to come back to.

Stay safe everyone,
Mark Robbo, LFC (keep dreaming voiders, ain’t gonna happen)

Winter break regrets
I concur with Micki’s suggestion in yesterday’s mailbox that Watford’s win vs Liverpool was one of the most important results in Premier League history (or words to that affect), which brings me to something that has been rather lost in the ether due to covid-10 suspending the season.

Klopp was a vocal advocate of the winter break, to the extent that his thoughts probably held some influence in the Premier League introducing a mini-break this season. Well, it’s kind of ironic then isn’t it, that Liverpool may well have had the league wrapped up before the “to void or not” questions began without the winter break that apparently was needed for the physical well-being of the players?
Brian, Wexford

Sticking up for Pele
Fair enough of Stu in Bromley not to have Pele in his top 5. Strange that he seems so angry about it though.

I mean, to have won 3 world cups is quite an achievement. Not really sure why being surrounded by good players is a negative though? I mean, let’s look at the other 5, it’s not as if they won anything with Accrington Stanley, is it?

If the argument is that he never tested himself, so therefore can’t be one of the best, I would have to say that winning 3 world cups probably, just, just, counts as a test. Yes we’ll never know what might have been had he played in a great European side, but then wait, would that have counted? Surely he would need to play for a terrible European side for this to count. Like Ronaldo did (Barca, Inter, Real Madrid, Milan). In short, you can have your top five, but your logic to exclude Pele – nonsense.

Oh and also – ‘The only elite player to have played at the highest level across three different leagues with the (arguably) three biggest teams in each league .. Utd, real and Juve. Who does that?’. Clarence Seedorf won the league title and Champions league with Ajax, Real Madrid and Milan. So, you know. Him.

Cheers,
Marc

Dead to us
Kildare, Ireland wants to hear about players who moved clubs and by doing so tarnished their reputation, the love and the respect from the fans.

Thibaut Courtois – Chelsea & Atletico to Real Madrid (The way he engineered the move was the reason behind the dislike, plus Atletico dislike Real, simple)

Emmanuel Adebayor – Arsenal to Man City (that goal celebration)

Sol Campbell – Spurs to Arsenal (Said he would never join Arsenal….joined Arsenal)

Fabian Delph – Villa to Man City (we all remember the famous statement, he isn’t leaving and the leaves a few days later)

Ashley Cole and William Gallas – Chelsea To Arsenal vice versa (Gallas said he would score own goals, and Cole was disliked for moving due to money and being tapped up)

Click Here: gold coast suns 2019 guernsey

Carlos Tevez – Man Utd to Man City (Welcome to Manchester)

On a more happier note, there are many players who played for rivals who are mutually loved by both, Ronaldo (Inter, AC Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid), Luis Enrique (Barcelona and Real Madrid) and of course Juan Mata (United and Chelsea)
Mikey, CFC (Will never leave F365 for another website….honest)

Why no pre-2000?
Hugh, Cork/Dublin. (That’s a hell of a commute, I hope you don’t do that every day).

German government give green light for Bundesliga to resume

The German Bundesliga looks set to be the first of Europe’s ‘Big Five’ leagues to resume amid the coronavirus pandemic after the federal government gave the go-ahead on Wednesday.

Clubs in the top two tiers of German football have been back in training since last month with a view to restarting the 2019-20 season in May.

German chancellor Angela Merkel told regional authorities on Wednesday that competition could restart in the second half of May. The 36 clubs will hold a conference call on Thursday to finalise a resumption date.

FEATURE: Pros and cons of Project Restart: Which side are you on?

Christian Seifert, the managing director of the German Football League (DFL) said: “Today’s decision is good news for the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga.

“It is associated with a great responsibility for the clubs and their employees to implement the medical and organisational requirements in a disciplined manner.

“Games behind closed doors are not an ideal solution for anyone. In a crisis threatening the very existence of some clubs, however, it is the only way to keep the leagues in their current form.

“On this day, I would like to thank the political decision-makers from the federal and state governments for their trust.”

Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a statement on his club’s official website: “”We’re very pleased that the people in Germany – and, from a regional point of view, the people in Dortmund and the surrounding area – have conducted themselves so magnificently in recent weeks that the spread of the pandemic could at least be contained.

“It is only thanks to the incredible discipline on the part of the population that we can now, gradually and in small steps, move on to another form of normality.

“Many industries are now slowly starting up again in compliance with strict rules, and this applies to professional football too.

“In this context, we at Borussia Dortmund are aware we have a great responsibility. We will – in the knowledge there can be no guarantees – do everything in our power to ensure the highest-possible degree of safety in order to prevent any new infections among the players and their families.

“Having to play behind closed doors is an enormous challenge, especially for a club like BVB, which draws a lot of strength from the passion of its supporters. However, it would not have been economically viable for the clubs to allow the Bundesliga to pause until spectators were allowed back into the stadiums.”

German clubs are conducting regular tests on all staff connected to the 36 clubs in the top two divisions.

Earlier this week the German Football League (DFL) said that out of 1,724 tests conducted, 10 individuals had tested positive for coronavirus.

Three of those individuals were connected to second tier side Cologne – with two of their players and a physiotherapist reported to have tested positive. All 10 individuals have been isolated, the DFL said.

Cologne said on Monday that there were no further positive tests in a subsequent round.

The Bundesliga resumption has also been hit by other controversies, with Hertha Berlin’s Salomon Kalou suspended after filming himself flouting social distancing rules.

There has been no action in the Bundesliga since March 8.

Bayern Munich lead Borussia Dortmund by four points with nine matches left to play.

Elsewhere in Europe, Belgium has followed France and Holland in officially ending its season.

The Belgian Pro League will hold a meeting about how to end its season on May 15 after the country’s national security council barred any professional football competition taking place in the country before the end of July.

Dyche: Burnley are very pro the idea of moving forward

Sean Dyche revealed Burnley are in favour of completing the 2019-20 Premier League campaign but the Clarets manager stressed that safety must come above everything else.

The coronavirus pandemic led to a shutdown of the top-flight in March and it is understood clubs have been told the only way to complete the season is for the remaining 92 matches to be played at neutral venues behind closed doors.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to outline details of how the UK will exit lockdown on Sunday while the next Premier League meeting will take place a day later, two events that Dyche believes will prove instructive.

FEATURE: Exclusive player prediction: ‘Back in September with crowds’

“Firstly, it goes from central Government,” Dyche told Clarets Player HD. “Nothing is decided and no dates are decided at this time. I think what the Prime Minister says on Sunday will affect that.

“There’s a lot of conjecture on what’s going to open and that will then knock on to the Premier League meeting (next week), in which they will take a view from the Government on how we can best move this forward.

“There are lots of ideas and lots of thoughts. We are very pro the idea of moving forward, when we can of course and when it’s safe, and the players are clear-minded about that as well.

“They want the season to carry on and finish.”

Burnley went into the hiatus in 10th place with nine games remaining and their players have been following training regimes at home in the weeks since football’s suspension.

Dyche says he has been in remote contact with his squad and that they have come to a unanimous conclusion.

He added: “Everyone was of the same thought. Everyone wants to get back training and they want the season to go ahead. They understand the importance and for themselves as well, as individuals.

“I think our players are thirsty to get back to that and to get back playing at some point.

“If we can get the season up and running, I think football will play its part in paying something back; to try and give something back – not just financially – to a very tough situation across the world.

“Football does play a big part and I think this has probably enhanced how powerful football is.”

Man Tries To Trade Pot For Car, Learns You Can't Do That: Police

ALBANY, OR – Albany Police say that 38-year-old Matthew Franks has learned a very valuable lesson: While marijuana is legal in Oregon, there are restrictions.

For instance, they say, you can’t use it as currency to buy yourself a vehicle.

That’s what police say that Franks tried to do.

On Nov. 9, they got a call from an auto dealer in Albany who’d gotten a message from someone who wanted to trade a substantial amount of marijuana for a car that he’d posted for sale online.

An undercover officer reached out to the would-be buyer and they agreed on an amount of pot to be traded for the vehicle and arranged to meet.

When Franks arrived, he was arrested.

Police say that in his car, they found more than five pounds of marijuana.

He’s charged with unlawful delivery of marijuana for consideration.

California Fires: New Photos Of Aftermath Show Smoke And Sorrow

The death toll in California continues to rise in the aftermath of the nation’s deadliest wildfires to date. At least 74 people are reported dead with more than 1,000 still reported missing. The Golden State will never be the same in the wake of the Woolsey Fire, Camp Fire and Hill Fire that ravaged its iconic landscape. The Associated Press reports that currently over 650 structures, predominantly private residences, are gone.

Memories are the only thing left in some areas like Paradise. The former gold-mining camp, which was a popular town for retirees and visitors alike, has been leveled to nothing but a pile of debris. Other areas like Malibu and Agoura Hills are unrecognizable. While celebrities like Gerard Butler and Miley Cyrus have lost their homes entirely, it’s the locals who have lost generations of memories.

Furthermore, smoke from the wildfires “is creating a health hazard that experts say could lead to an increase in serious health problems, especially for children and the elderly,” reports the Associated Press. The San Francisco skyline is barely visible through the smog, while the state capitol building in Sacramento is shrouded as well. New images show locals walking around affected areas in gas masks as health concerns grow strong. In Chico, hundreds of people are already waiting in line in hopes of receiving federal aide.

We rounded up new photos of the heartbreaking aftermath as California looks to put the pieces back together. Check back for updated pics as fire-related news unfolds through out the weekend.

The skyline is obscured by smoke and haze from wildfires as a tour boat makes its way along the waterfront in San Francisco. Recurring wildfires are sparking concern among medical experts about potentially major health consequences.

But blazes that used to be seasonal are happening nearly year-round and increasingly spreading into cities. That’s exposing many more people to choking smoke that contains many of the same toxic ingredients as urban air pollution. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg)
