Welcome to the town that is uniting light and dark, good and evil and more than eight million television viewers in a mighty showdown: the finale of BBC One s Happy Valley tomorrow night.
HAVING recently discovered an African sister club going by the same name, Accrington Stanley Football Club have now provided them with official club kit. The club from Freetown in Sierra Leone had been playing in borrowed strips and when Stanley officials heard of their plight, they felt compelled to help. Stanley managing director David Burgess and kitman Naz Ali spent some time searching storage and found two complete strips – one in Accy’s trademark red and an away kit in royal blue – as well as a full box of high-quality boots that have all now been sent to Sierra Leone.

When Naz Ali was sitting at home in March, under lockdown along with the rest of Vancouver, she had the idea of using her specialized skills to track data on people’s movements owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ms. Ali is a geographic information systems (GIS) manager, location intelligence, for commercial real estate services company CBRE Canada. Her work tracking traffic – as well as other data such as demographics – helps developers, retailers and other clients determine the best locations for their investments.
She created a heat map comparing foot traffic in the downtowns of three of Canada’s largest cities before and after the lockdown. A stark picture emerged from her analysis of the data, using third-party mobile-device tracking data from Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, Robson Street in Vancouver and Sainte-Catherine Street in Montreal between January 1 and May 31, 2020.

The message informed them that they could catch the last possible flight back into Australia from London on December 8 that would allow them enough time to make it out of quarantine for Christmas.
