Why I wanted to leave Chelsea after winning Premier League title – Conte

Image
Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, has revealed he considered leaving Stamford Bridge this summer. Conte claims he was shattered by last season’s title success and wanted to see if the board supported his long-term vision for the club. The former Juventus coach clearly got enough assurances, for him to decide to move his wife Elisabetta and daughter Vittoria to London. “My family is very ­important. It will show my ­commitment with the club, with this project as I try to build something important. “I must be honest, last season was very tough, it was very strong for me and for my family. It wasn’t easy for me because sometimes when you win you think that everything is easy but it wasn’t to win and to have this type of season. “Now I decided with the club to ­continue our path. I spoke with the club and we found the right view about the future.

Image
Hajj pilgrims The Nigerian Senate was heavily criticised by Nigerians on Thursday for asking the federal government to direct the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to supply dollars at N200 to those going on pilgrimage either to Saudi Arabia or Israel. If the government consents to the request, it means the allocation of foreign exchange for those planning to embark on the pilgrimage would be subsidised by about 37 per cent. Currently, the naira exchanges at about N315 to the dollar in the official window, as against about N365 to the dollar at the parallel market is. The request ignores the provisions in the approved Medium Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF, covering all expenditure plans for 2017, and the Appropriation Act, which was earlier approved by the lawmakers, prior to the assent by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

Why You Snore And How To Prevent It

Image
Why It Happens If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night.  How Do I Know If I Snore? If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you’re stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you’re stuffed up for weeks at a time. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the oth...
