Mr Barnaby, 33, shunned any praise as a hero and credits his trainee pilot training for his lifesaving decision. "As soon as it happened, we stopped, got out of the car, analysed the situation and after I realised there was a serious chance the whole thing was going to blow, I knew I had to get in there as soon as I could." Mr Barnaby said that his training as a student pilot had prepared him for high-stress situations 高压情况下 of all kinds. "I did it because I couldn't stand there and watch a man burn to death," he said. Southbound lanes of the M1 remained closed until the early hours of this morning. The extent of the damage 毁坏的程度 to both the bridge and the road meant engineers had to be called in to reassess their structural integrity 重新评估结构可靠性, leaving motorists stuck for several hours.

In medicine, a contraindication 反症状 (有此症状则不能吃某药) is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient. Contraindication is the opposite of indication, which is a reason to use a certain treatment. Some contraindications are absolute, meaning that there are no reasonable circumstances for undertaking a course of action. For example, children and teenagers with viral infections should not be given aspirin because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, and a person with an anaphylactic food allergy should never eat the food to which they are allergic. Similarly, a person with hemochromatosis should not be administered iron preparations. Other contraindications are relative, meaning that the patient is at higher risk of complications, but these risks may be outweighed by other considerations or mitigated by other measures. For example, a pregnant woman should normally avoid getting X-rays, but the risk may be outweighed by the benefit of diagnosing (and then treating) a serious condition such as tuberculosis. Relative contraindications may also be referred to as cautions, such as in the British National Formulary. 4.

I have phobias of (the leaves) not being washed properly." The main of grilled swordfish with pea puree and tarragon sauce also wasn't well-received. "The fish is way overcooked, it's mush," judge Manu Feildel said, adding the sauce was too sharp, the carrots were unwashed and there was no seasoning in the puree.

Louisa Huang, 21, was hit while crossing an intersection with two friends in Strathfield just before 9pm on Friday and died in hospital less than two days later. Police allege a 37-year-old man driving a Toyota Corolla ploughed 冲进 into the trio(plough [plau] to turn over the soil before putting seeds into it using a plough.

Ms Huang, from Padstow, was taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition but she died after her life support was turned off on Sunday afternoon.

'We believe at this stage the pedestrians had a green light to walk, that is if there's no malfunction with the traffic lights,' Acting Inspector Brett Samuel told reporters on Saturday afternoon. 'It would appear that someone has run a red light.' 'It's not very nice, that's for sure.' The three pedestrians were hit by a white Toyota Corolla at about 9pm, and were visibly bleeding on the street as paramedics treated them. Witness Andrew Taylor told 9 News he was moments away from being caught up in the crash.

'When you're driving a motor vehicle you've got to be focused directly in front of you and be aware of your surroundings - you don't just focus dead straight you have to scan as you're driving.' He said there were two other pedestrians at the crossing, but he did not believe they had to jump out of the way to avoid the car.
爱情三角: Following the revelations that Rob Kardashian has struck up a romance with Blac Chyna - who has a child with his sister Kylie's boyfriend Tyga - we've put together a list of cringe-worthy celeb love triangles that are just a little too close for comfort. Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid and Ashley Greeene all dated... Joe Jonas. The girls all enjoyed flings with the former Disney star between 2008 and 2015. However, it doesn't seem to have caused much of a rift 隔阂, 嫌隙, 缝隙, 猜忌. Taylor is pretty pally with ( [ˈpæli] Having a close, friendly relationship: I see you're getting quite pally with Carlos. They've become very pally (with each other). Suddenly she started acting very pally towards me. ) Demi and Gigi and they recently appeared in her video Bad Blood. On the topic of former Disney stars and the Jonas brothers, Selena Gomez and Miley Cryus both famously dated the youngest sibling Nick. Miley enjoyed a romance with the Camp Rock star from 2006 to 2007 and Selena is then thought to have dated him on and off until 2010. ALL of them apparently wrote about the Disney love triangle in their songs. And that's not the only love triange Selena has been a part of. She and her BFF Taylor Swift have both dated... Taylor Lautner. The Red singer famously enjoyed a three month fling with the Twilight star in August 2009. However, Selena reportedly chatted about her relationship with Lautner and how great it was in Sepetmber that year. Awkward! The pair aren't the only BFF's to have gone after the same man. Our favourite Friends' duo Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox also chased the same hunk back in the 90s. Apparently at one time or another they were both totally smitten with Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz. Jen is thought to have dated Adam in 1995 but he has denied the pair ever hooked up. In 1997 he went on to date Courteney after she appeared in the video for his track A Long December. Finally, there isn't a love triangle that can compare to the Justin Bieber/Kendall Jenner/Hailey Baldwin/Kourtney Kardashian fiasco. Justin appeared to confirm he was dating model Hailey last month after posting snaps of them kissing on holiday just weeks after he was linked to 36-year-old mum of three Kourtney Kardashian. To make matters worse he's also reported to have dated Kourtney's half sister Kendall, 20, in late 2014 - who just happens to be his current girlfriend Hailey's best pal. On top of all that Justin was previously in an on/off relationship with Selena for four years. The Spring Breakers star had been good friends with Kendall before the rumoured fling with her ex.
新闻故事: Commonwealth Bank staff to face court over alleged $76m fraud: Two Commonwealth Bank employees are reportedly due to face court after they allegedly masterminded a $76 million Ponzi scheme that management allowed to go on for five years. The staff are said to have received secret commissions for their role in the alleged fraud, which was ignored by management at Australia's biggest lender, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. Professional poker player Bill Jordanou and accountant Robert Zaia have indicated they will plead not guilty to almost 100 fraud and deception offences when they face court in February next year, the newspaper says. They are accused of using forged documents to borrow millions of dollars for several property developments that never came to fruition. The pair are also accused of siphoning money from clients' accounts without their knowledge or consent. CBA documents and emails obtained by Melbourne property developer Nick Fotopoulos, who lost more than $5 million and has launched a civil action 民事诉讼 against the bank, reveal the extent of the bank's involvement in the alleged fraud. The documents reveal that the bank knew about 知悉 the alleged fraud as far back as 2007 but did not report the pair to police until 2011, the Sydney Morning Herald says. Two mobile lenders were allegedly involved in the scam but have not been charged. A number of other bank employees helped process loan applications, which were allegedly obtained using forged documents. One of the mobile lenders died in 2007 while another is expected to testify against Mr Jordanou and Mr Zaia. Jim and Debbie Barker from the Victorian city of Mildura were the first to notify the bank of the alleged scam when they noticed that $26,000 was missing from their account. They also told the CBA's fraud investigation team that a document supporting an application for a $1.5 million loan, that stated Mr Barker had an annual salary of $343,000, had been forged with the complicity of bank staff( complicity [kəmˈplɪsəti] 知情 the fact that someone is involved in or knows about something bad that happens.

CBA assessment analyst Andrew Rutherford is said to have confirmed the document had been forged in a May 2007 email. However, the bank did not inform police for four years. A CBA spokesperson said the bank has "zero tolerance to bribery, corruption" but declined to comment on the specific allegations while the matter was before the courts. Online predator who thought he was meeting a teen for sex nabbed by vigilantes ( vigilante [ˌvɪdʒɪˈlænti] 朝阳群众, 民间警察, 私自执法者 someone who tries to catch and punish criminals by themselves, without waiting for the police. Local residents are forming their own vigilante groups.): A group of British vigilantes have captured the moment they nabbed an online predator who thought he was about to meet an underage girl for sex. Dean Copley, 45, believed he was meeting a girl he had been grooming on Facebook but was instead greeted by members of the Online Predator Investigation Team (OPIT) who had lured the man with a false profile, The Sun reports. The husband and wife team filmed their encounter with Copley, which took place at Sheffield station on Valentine's Day last year but has only just been released. When Copley arrives at the meeting place会面地点 a member of the OPIT asks him what he is doing there to which he replied that he is waiting for a friend. "She said she was 16," Copley says. But when the predator is presented with some of the evidence against him including sexual comments he made to the 'girl' who said she was 14 he gives up the ruse(a plan or trick used for hiding your true intentions.) and says he will accompany the group to the police. The group lured Copley by creating a fake Facebook profile and then waiting for friend requests to arrive. A short time after Copley became friends with what he thought was a teen he began making comments of a sexual nature and even sent a photo of his penis. Copley initially told police he knew the profile was fake but went ahead with the meeting to expose those behind the sting and report them to police. But he soon admitted his crime and later pleaded guilty to attempted grooming in Sheffield Crown Court. In sentencing Copley to three years in jail, Judge Kelson QC said "Perverts must be stopped from preying on children." "You wanted full sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old child. "You were not trapped by this couple you were trapped by your own perverted lust." Chris Hemsworth explains that bulging bicep shot: 'Photoshop, lighting and certain angles'. Chris Hemsworth's out-of-control bicep almost broke the internet back in January, but according to the buff star, it wasn't just muscle we were gawping at. Appearing on The Project, the 32-year-old had a hilarious take on the Instagram picture, posted by his brother Luke. Why was one arm bigger than the other? Was it the Thor hammer arm?

A Home Office minister in the UK has drawn laughter from the parliament by implying the notorious pro-rape campaigner Roosh V has a tiny penis. Daryush Valizadeh, who goes by the name Roosh V, has attracted global indignation this week with plans to host meetings in 43 countries around the world for supporters of his anti-women group, Return of Kings. During an urgent question in the House of Commons on Thursday, Labour MP Chi Onwurah described Valizedah as "an attention seeker so insecure in his own masculinity that he goes to these lengths to augment the size of his ... following".
