A teenage West Ham academy goalkeeper has died aged 15 after suffering from cancer. Oscar Fairs from Benfleet, Essex, was diagnosed with a rare 7cm ependymoma brain tumour in August 2023 and underwent seven surgeries, one round of chemotherapy and one round of radiotherapy to be told palliative care was the only option. A GoFundMe page was set up to help the family raise £100,000 towards a treatment trial in France. It is with deep and profound sadness that West Ham United confirm the tragic passing of our U15s Academy goalkeeper Oscar Fairs, following his brave battle with cancer. Rest in peace, brave Oscar. — West Ham United (@WestHam) West Ham footballers donated £27,000, chairman David Sullivan donated £10,000 and Arsenal footballer and former West Ham star Declan Rice gave £5,000, according to Ms Fairs. On Friday, West Ham announced that the 15-year-old had died. Sporting director Mark Noble said: “Oscar was adored by everyone at the Academy – not only was he a great goalkeeper, he was a true Hammer and a fantastic young person, who will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know him. “I have wonderful memories of Oscar playing in my garden – (my son) Lenny and his teammates all loved him. “He was a friendly, happy, well-mannered and polite young man, who had such a bright future ahead of him, and it is just so unimaginably devastating that he has been taken from his family and friends at this age. “The thoughts and sincere condolences of everyone at the Club are with Oscar’s parents, Natalie and Russell, and his brother Harry, and we kindly ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this extremely difficult time.” All scheduled Academy fixtures over the weekend have been postponed as a mark of respect.

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info I'm A Celebrity viewers are buzzing with speculation that Ant McPartlin might not be the biggest fan of one of the campmates. In the latest episode that hit screens on ITV, presenters Ant and Dec brought us all the juicy updates from the camp. The spotlight was on Dean as he braved the new treacherous 'Lethal Lab' trial in hopes of finally snagging some much-needed stars following two unsuccessful previous attempts where he called it quits early and another challenge where he and GK Barry also scored no stars. Social media detectives have been piecing together hints from Ant's reactions during the trials and they're convinced he 'dislikes' Dean. One viewer tweeted: "Ant cant stand Dean #ImACeleb," while another chimed in: "Ant shouldn't play poker. His face is saying what we all feel #ImACeleb." As the comments rolled in, another added their voice to the mix: " Ant can't even remotely hide his disdain for Dean #imaceleb." Another wrote: "Anyone feel like Ant and Dec don't like Dean? Especially Ant #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb," as one shared: "I'm done with Dean. Even Ant and Dec are beyond done with him. Never seen them this disappointed in a contestant before.", reports the Express . One fan noted: "Ant said on Extra Jungle last night the amount of work that goes into the trials and then for Dean not to even make an effort #imaceleb," with another writing: "Ant can't stand Dean, he is making it very obvious #ImACeleb." During the trial today, Dean confessed it "wasn't looking good" as he faced his challenge. He initially succeeded in combining two liquids to trigger a chemical reaction, bagging two stars for camp with ease. Next, he tackled the containment areas, where he had to gather stars using only his mouth, all while sharing the space with cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes and spiders. He secured 2 stars for camp in the first and third areas, before uttering the infamous phrase I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in the fifth containment. Following the trial, Ant and Dec appeared live, expressing their frustration over Dean not completing the trial. They explained that if he had just let them inform him about the fish guts, he wouldn't have panicked. Both Ant and Dec seemed annoyed as they described how Dean had faced the spiders and snakes, but called out the famous phrase during the fish guts because he didn't know what was on his head. *I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.Is Enron back? If it's a joke, some former employees aren't laughing

SIOUX FALLS — Mount Vernon/Plankinton and Winner each came in on the short end of consolation bracket contests at the Class A volleyball state tournament on Friday afternoon at the Premier Center. Miller defeated MVP in four sets, while Sioux Valley outlasted Winner in five sets, setting up a meeting between the Titans (27-7) and the Warriors (26-8) for seventh place at 11 a.m. Saturday. During the regular season, MVP won both matches against Winner by a combined 5-0 set count, defeating the Warriors in Winner and at the Southeast South Dakota Conference tournament. ADVERTISEMENT After dropping the first four sets it played at the 2024 Class A tournament, Miller shook off its slow start and showed why the Rustlers earned the No. 1 postseason seed on Friday. Much like Thursday’s quarterfinals, MVP came out firing and took the first set but was unable to sustain the momentum in a four-set loss. Set scores were 21-25, 25-14, 26-24 and 25-18. Reagan Rus powered down a match-high 18 kills with 16 digs, while Madalynn Lorang tacked on 13 kills and 18 digs for the Titans. The pair combined for 31 of MVP’s 35 total kills in the match. Alyssa Johnson put up 27 assists with 21 digs, and Alexis Hauge had a team-high 22 digs. Taryn Hegg chipped in three kills and four blocks. For Miller, Aleah Schlechter recorded 14 kills, 15 digs and three blocks, while Kate Lichty offered 10 kills, 10 digs, three blocks and two aces. Paige Werdel and Kaihlyn Anderberg each had nine kills, and Werdel added three aces. Olivia Resel put up 45 assists, as Jolie Palmer contributed 29 digs and two aces. Trailing two sets to one, No. 6 seed Winner rallied with a dominant effort in the fourth set to force a fifth, but a 10-5 advantage in the deciding frame slipped away as No. 7 seed Sioux Valley claimed a victory on Friday. Set scores were 22-25, 25-14, 25-19, 13-25 and 16-14. Three Warriors — Keelie Kuil (17), Livvy Audiss (14) and Lilly Barfuss (10) — reached double figures in kills while combining for 32 digs and four blocks. Gracie Root offered up 44 assists, 11 digs and two aces, as Cora Moss and Alice Wilson had 31 and 26 digs, respectively for the Warriors. Kaedyn Sapp posted a match-high 18 kills with 16 digs and two aces to lead the Cossacks, while Adison Renkly added 12 kills and had a hand in seven of the team’s 10 total blocks. Sunny Hesby (24) and Machaela Gerasch (20) split 44 assists, as Hesby tacked on 30 digs. ADVERTISEMENT Sioux Valley (25-7) will play Miller (29-2) in the fifth-place match at 12:45 p.m. Friday.Our in Depth Review of the Canon EOS R1 Flagship CameraHOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company's collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron's new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand's tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that "We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company's website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. This story was corrected to fix the spelling of Ken Lay’s first name, which had been misspelled “Key.” Follow Juan A.

Morgan Rogers looked to have given Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home in stoppage time, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. Contact seemed minimal but VAR did not intervene and Villa had to settle for a point in a 0-0 draw. “With the last action, it is the interpretation of the referee,” the Spaniard said. “In England, 80 per cent of those is given a goal and it’s not a foul. It’s very soft. “But in Europe, it could be a foul. We have to accept. “Everybody will know, in England the interpretation is different. The England referees, when actions like that the interpretation is a clear no foul but in Europe that interpretation is different. “They have to be working to get the same decision when some action like that is coming. I don’t know exactly why but we knew before in the Premier League that it is different. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 “In Europe for example we are not doing a block like in England and we are not doing in front of the goalkeeper in offensive corners the same situations like in England. “When the action happened, I was thinking here in Europe it’s a foul. In England not, but in Europe I have to accept it. “At first, I thought the referee gave us a goal. In cases like that, it’s confusing because he has to wait for VAR. I don’t know what happened but I think so (the referee changed his mind with VAR).” It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. “We were playing a favourite to be in the top eight and usually a contender to win this competition,” Emery added. “We are a team who for a long time didn’t play in Europe and the Champions League and this year is very important. “We wanted to play competitive and we are in the right way. Today to get one point is very good, we wanted to win but wanted to avoid some mistakes we made in previous games. “We have 10 points and we’re happy.” Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. Juve boss Thiago Motta, whose side are 19th but still in contention to reach the top eight, said: “There’s just three games left to qualify. The next home against Man City, then Brugge, then Benfica. “One at a time, as we always did with the goal to qualify for the next round. “In the end we will try and reach our goal which is to go to the next round.”
