 2-0 friendly defeat to England. The 19-year-old was replaced by Antoine Griezmann after 67 minutes and was pictured leaving the stadium with his foot in a bandage.
France coach Didier Deschamps said Martial had suffered "a knock" to his left foot but was unable to provide further information regarding the injury. "He is in quite a bit of pain," he explained, according to the United website. "I think it is a knock to the top of his foot."
United confirmed via their official website that an update regarding Martial's fitness would be provided during Louis van Gaal's pre-match press conference to preview the Premier League trip to Watford. The Dutch coach is likely to be questioned over the extent of the blow, which would leave his side with wafer-thin attacking options.
Following the trip to Vicarage Road, United host PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League before travelling to Leicester City. Any immediate lay-off for Martial would make him a doubt for the trio of fixtures. With James Wilson also out injured, the club could be left with just one recognised senior striker in the form of Wayne Rooney.
Marouane Fellaini could be employed in attack, but the more likely option is that Van Gaal will dip into his youth ranks to cover for any loss of the summer signing from Monaco. The 64-year-old has not hesitated from blooding players from the Old Trafford academy and is unlikely to hold back despite being on the eve of an intense period of the campaign.
Sam Johnstone, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Sean Goss and Andreas Pereira have all been handed opportunities this season, while Axel Tuanzeba was an unused substitute for the Premier League draw with Crystal Palace. With regards to forward options, Marcus Ashford appears to be the next cab off the rank, having starred for the club's Under-19 side.
Promoting players from within while juggling a title challenge has impressed those within United, and academy coach Paul McGuinness is delighted to see the club's traditions maintained. "It's great for everybody at the club," he told their website. "I think they're very much aware within the hierarchy of the club as well, that being Manchester United is just not the same if it doesn't have a core of homegrown players.
"It's part of the ingredients, the brand and it wouldn't be the same if we didn't have homegrown players. You can see there are frustrations at one or two other clubs in the fact they're not getting homegrown players in and you've seen we had two or three involved the other week. You've got to applaud the manager for that and he's carrying on a very long tradition."A unique line marking solution for airfields, improving friction resistance and optional high levels of retro-reflectivity.
QMS AirField is a service from Quality Marking Services delivering all aspects of line marking within Military, Commercial and Private airfields.
Utilising our unique combination of Waterbased Acrylic Resin, crushed Glass Grain and Calcined Flint, which is encapsulated within the resin film, we are able to offer an un-matched level of friction resistance to the markings delivered for runways, taxiways and aprons.
Operating during the day or night to meet customer requirements, our installation teams are committed to meeting tight timescales in exceptionally demanding environments.
Using our exclusively designed equipment with an impressive cure-time, we are able to complete line marking projects with minimal disruption to the airfield whilst maximising the available installation window.
The combination of high-friction, fast cure and reduced installation times makes QMS AirField the sensible choice for any line marking requirements in these high-security, safety critical environments.
In addition to high friction levels, we are also able to offer line markings with High Index Type III Reflectivity, meeting the demands and requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Solvent-based materials are also available, should the specification for selected projects require such markings. We are, however, committed to reducing the environmental impact of all our operations and promote the use of our Waterborne Acrylic system as a direct alternative without compromise on quality, durability or performance.This is the second album — after A View from My Window — for Israeli-born guitarist Kehati, who has lived in Boston, US, since moving there in 2007 to study at the New England Conservatory. In all seven of his compositions he plays with dexterity, restraint and subtlety in a well balanced quartet with a relaxed, ruminative and at times dreamy disposition.
Kehati’s musings call to mind Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny, combining well with Farber’s drifting notes in the opening Calling Me Home and engaging in some pleasing interplay in Mr Mario, which also features nimble guitar over agile drum work. The slow ballad Tali features Farber’s sax floating and dancing on high.
The longest piece, The Most Beautiful Flower, has unhurried bass and drums working well with guitar before a gradual build in tempo, focus and intensity in which a Farber solo then gives way to sparse guitar before a segue into the dreamy, expansive horizon music of The Snow and the Sun.
Don’t Attack seems to be warding off an onslaught that never arises, this track showing some gain and wane in intensity, but mainly confirming the ensemble’s complimentarity. The album closes with subdued guitar in Invisible Green.
Rather than the devil being in the detail of this album, its intricacy and minutiae are its strengths. If there is a devil, it is in a lack of contrast between the compositions. Kehati’s quartet delivers his material well, communicating with care a mood of gentle introspection that seems to suit contemplation, daydreaming or reverie.
But it is tempting to wish that the ensemble would break out via different compositions or that the guitar and sax would let forth an occasional storm to tell disparate stories or blow some flowers off their stalks.
Long before the current 911 RSR caused controversy over abandoning the rear-engined layout, the 911 GT1 took things even further. The GT1 EVO was mostly not a 911, it was an exercise in rule bending designed to compete with the Mclaren F1. The rear half of the car was derived from the Group C dominating 962. The front half bore a superficial resemblance to the 993 and 996 generation 911. Some parts were even pillaged from production models. A forward floor pan from a 993 was utilized. The upper shock-mounts for the 962-derived wishbone front suspension were constructed from 993 strut towers, but that is about where the production-basis ended. A pure 911 the GT1 was not, but it was successful.
Interestingly Porsche featured a road-legal GT1 EVO in this video, reminding us that a few road legal versions were produced for homologation. Indeed, of the 46 GT1s built, more than half were originally road legal. A few racing variants have since been converted for road use, in addition to the original 25 road cars. The roadgoing cars have some differences from the pure racing machines, including tamer MOTEC engine management with proper cold-start parameters rather than the TAG system used in the racers.
These radical cars proved successful in nearly all of their variants. The original GT1, which used the 993 nose, won its class in 1995, only to be bested by the Porsche-powered TWR WSC-95. A privately entered GT1 claimed fifth overall, besting the factory-entered EVOs. For 1998 the heavily-revised GT1-98 claimed the top two spots at Le Mans, and indeed GT1 cars grabbed the top seven overall spots at the event.
Porsche's rule-bending inspired a slew of imitators, including the radical Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, Toyota GT-One, Nissan R390, and the bizarre front-engined Panoz Esperante. These rule benders, led by Porsche, priced the class out of existence. Escalating costs effectively ended one of the most vibrant periods in GT racing history.
For those interested, John Brooks published an excellent article on the subject several years ago. It really is worth the read if you care at all about the peak of GT racing.We usually try to grow at least one or two new things in our garden every year. We home-school and feel strongly that real life in the garden is an excellent way to teach our children the variety of responsibilities that come with keeping a garden and prepare one to persevere in life. Life in the garden is a healthy place to be, too!
This year we decided our growing herbs project would be growing caraway for the abundance of caraway seeds we love in our homemade rye bread. We tried the carrot trick since we expected the caraway to come in like carrots, we hadn't thought of searching on the Internet at the time. We certainly did not know what the plants were going to look like so we needed all the advantage we could get. We know what dandelions, lambs quarter, crab grass and a host of other weeds look like but we did not know what the caraway was going to look like, so we simply did not weed out any weeds that we did not recognize until they were big enough for us to recognize them.
What is the carrot trick?
Simply lay the seeds on the ground and lay a board over top of them for 10 days. The very strong carrot/caraway seeds will sprout in the dark while the weed seeds will be slowed considerably! It is such a joy to
