A day of mourning is under way in Poland ahead of the funeral of Pawel Adamowicz, the mayor of Gdansk fatally stabbed at a charity event last Sunday. Large screens have been set up around St Mary's Church in the city to broadcast Saturday's funeral service. Mr Adamowicz, a liberal critic of Poland's ruling party, had served as the mayor of Gdansk for 20 years. President Andrzej Duda and European Council President Donald Tusk are among those expected to attend the ceremony. Late on Friday, a funeral procession was attended by thousands of people who followed Mr Adamowicz's coffin, which was covered in white flowers and the city's red flag, as it was driven through the city's streets. Adam Easton in Gdansk says that more than 3,000 people will be attending the funeral Mass in the city's 14th Century St Mary's Church, one of the largest brick churches in the world. People queued for hours, our correspondent adds, in order to secure a place inside the church. Psychologists have been made available to assist any mourners in need Vigils have been taking place in Polish cities all week, with people expressing shock at the death of the po[CENSORED]r city leader. What happened to Mr Adamowicz? Mr Adamowicz, 53, was attacked on stage in front of hundreds of people while attending the Great Orchestra of Christmas charity - an annual event where volunteers raise money for medical equipment in hospitals. Paramedics tried to resuscitate Mr Adamowicz at the scene, before transferring him to a local hospital with stab injuries, where he underwent five hours of surgery. His death was confirmed by Poland's health minister on Monday. President Duda described the attack as an "evil hard to imagine". A 27-year-old suspect has been arrested over the attack. Who was the mayor? Mr Adamowicz was a po[CENSORED]r figure - known best for his liberal political views and long tenure as mayor. The father-of-two was from Gdansk and first came to power in 1998. He has been re-elected four times since, most recently in November. After news of the severity of his condition broke, local residents queued at the hospital to donate blood.

Simona Halep set up a mouth-watering last-16 clash with Serena Williams at the Australian Open by comprehensively defeating the American great's sister Venus in straight sets. World number one Halep had needed three sets in each of her opening two matches in Melbourne, but was in commanding form during a 6-2 6-3 rout of Williams on Margaret Court Arena. The Romanian's questionable reward is an encounter against 23-time grand slam winner Serena, who she has not faced since the 2016 US Open. More of the aggression and variety she showed here against Venus will be needed, but Halep can take plenty of confidence from a dominant performance Halep was the aggressor from the off and a couple of break points had already gone begging by the time she made the breakthrough in game five by working the angles and finishing with a clinical double-backhand winner. Perhaps roused by falling behind, Williams had Halep on the ropes with four break points in the next game, but the Romanian staved off the threat - saving the last with a wonderful deft drop-shot. The writing was on the wall for the first set when Williams went long to cede a double break and things worsened when Halep broke again at the start of the second. Williams hit straight back, though, and - after saving a couple more break points in game three - she was holding her own in the set until Halep's counterpunching paid dividends for a big break to lead 4-3. There was no way back from there and Halep sealed the win with a crunching forehand, which will need to be firing on all cylinders against Serena. STATISTICAL BREAKDOWN Halep [1] bt Williams 6-2 6-3 WINNERS/UNFORCED ERRORS Halep - 21 Williams - 24 ACES/DOUBLE FAULTS Halep - 12 Williams - 33 BREAK POINTS WON Halep - 5/10 Williams - 1/6 FIRST SERVE PERCENTAGE Halep - 69 Williams - 59 PERCENTAGE OF POINTS WON ON FIRST/SECOND SERVE Halep - 67/63 Williams - 58/31 TOTAL POINTS Halep - 68 Williams - 48

When I visited Thermaltake at CES and they asked if I wanted to check out their WaterRam I wasn’t quite expecting what they showed us. I had honestly expected to see some version of last years ADATA Jellyfish Memory with those tubes of water in the RGB diffuser. But instead what we got was legitimate water cooled memory. The DIMMS were solid with a nice heatspreader on them so you could easily use them under air cooling conditions as you prepare your system for full water. The blocks attach to the tops of the memory heatspreaders through allen keyed screws. These screw holes were spaced out and slotted so that they can accommodate many motherboard configurations, Thermaltake claimed they had not found a motherboard where the waterblock had not been able to be installed. This is a concern as some boards place their memory at different spacing. Something else that was discussed was the idea of shipping in 4 DIMM packs regardless of capacity. So much like what AORUS started and others have started following with the idea of Dummy DIMMS. For some reason the term Cosmetic DIMMS just sounds less cheesy to me. Either way we’ve included what the company had to say about their WaterRam including the specs they’ve laid out so far. Let us know what you think about a kit like this one the market now, too much hassle or welcome it to the party? WaterRam RGB offers ultimate flexibility for cooling options, the included RAM water block is designed with CNC machined copper base, PMMA cover and anti-corrosive nickel plating to allow high water flow to efficiently cool up to four DDR4 memory modules, and the 2mm thick aluminum heatsinks with high efficiency thermal pads offers superior heatsinks convection. In addition to two-way cooling options, WaterRam RGB incorporates the latest RAM technology in the market to support high intensity gaming or other high speeds required activities. Comes in 32G/16G, The RAMs are built with tightly screened ICs, 3200MHz high speed that supports Intel XMP 2.0 one-click overclocking technology with low CL16 latencies and were tested on the latest Intel DDR4 motherboards to ensure optimal DDR4 performance. While WaterRam RGB ensures peak performance, it is also gorgeous, built with 12 high lumens addressable LEDs of 16.8 million colors that can be controlled by TT RGB PLUS Ecosystem and sync with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB, MSI Mystic Light Sync and AsRock Polychrome. WaterRam RGB Liquid Cooling Memory was crafted for excellence and takes your system to a whole new level!

Google has announced that it is raising the prices of its G Suite Basic and G Suite Business productivity suites for the first time since they were released. The price for G Suite Basic will be raised from $5 per user per month to $6 while G Suite Business will see a similar increase from $10 per user per month to $12. The enterprise edition of Google's productivity suite, G Suite Enterprise will not be affected by the price increase and will remain priced at $25 per user per month. G Suite is the company's direct competitor to Microsoft's Office 365 which follows a similar pricing model. Microsoft's Office 365 Business Essentials is $5 per user per month with a yearly subscription while Office 365 Business is $8.25 a month and Office 365 Business Premium costs $12.50 a month. Google's G Suite prices will increase worldwide and the change will go into effect on April 2. G Suite price increase The company defended the price increase by arguing that it has tripled the value of its product by adding artificial intelligence (AI), new tools and apps as well as other additional features. It is worth noting that customers on annual contracts will see their prices go up when G Suite renews. Google's new pricing structure also applies globally though there will be local market adjustments for certain regions. Customers that have licensed G Suite through a reseller will be contacted by them regarding the price increase. Google's decision to raise the price of G Suite shows just how much pricing power cloud providers have and the move will certainly pay off for the company as the product is estimated to make up half of its cloud revenue.

Diet regimes are full of crass slogans, but one thing holds true: go easy on yourself Recently, I received an email from a young woman who told me that, although she was struggling with an eating disorder, she got great pleasure from reading my restaurant reviews. She said reading about, and enjoying, such enthusiasm for food made her feel normal. I’m sure it did. My reviews gave her the opportunity to engage with a conversation around what we eat, without having to do any actual eating, which is the bit she finds tricky. She’s not a one-off. I’ve had multiple emails like this over the years from people in the grips of eating disorders, who enjoy reading restaurant reviews. It is literally pathological behaviour, but it does shine a light on the massive gulf that can open up between the act of writing about food and the extremely human business of eating it. That is most obvious at this time of year, when we are assailed by advice designed to help us find the new us. It doesn’t matter whether we are happy with the old us. We are promised we can create a new shiny version, one mouthful at a time. It is easy sloganeering to point out how knuckle-dragging so much of this advice is; that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to do so. Some advocates of plant-based diets like to gloss over the very real dangers of vitamin B12 deficiencies. Spoiler alert: it can lead to intellectual impairment. Meanwhile, the proponents of paleo and dairy-free diets claim that modern humans were not designed for their current diet, as if evolution was a cul de sac. We are literally designed, through evolution, to consume bovine milk. Many us adapted to do so because it was an available food supply, and most of those who couldn’t tolerate dairy, where it was a source of nutrition, died out leaving the lactose tolerant to pass on their genes. The reverse argument is that you should simply relax, stop pathologising food, and eat what you want. Do that, and everything will be fine. In the US there’s even an encouraging Eat What You Want day. This year it’s 11 May. The problem is, while that’s easier advice to follow, it’s really no more helpful than being told to quit dairy, binge on soup or live solely on a diet of sautéed kitten. Unless you have the metabolism of a small, hyperactive rodent, or what you really want happens to correspond to a perfectly balanced diet – in which case it’s definitely time to upgrade your desires – few of us can eat what we want without consequences. I certainly can’t. Because here’s the one piece of dietary advice worth paying attention to in January when everyone is telling you how to eat: there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all dietary advice, however much health professionals might wish it were otherwise. As the work on the gut biome by Professor Tim Spector has indicated, how our bodies process the food we eat differs from person to person. But there are so many other issues: how much money and time we have, for example, enabling us to hit the gym to mitigate impacts; what kind of jobs we do; the healthcare to which we have access. Where does that leave us all? Muddling through. Diet books are written in crass slogans, but we live our lives in meandering prose. We pick and choose from the advice. We know sugar is the enemy but we have a biscuit occasionally. We understand the panic over alcohol consumption, but sometimes we open the bottle. We try to get to the gym and sometimes we don’t. It’s called being human. We try. Sometimes we succeed. Sometimes we don’t. Please, don’t beat yourself up about it.

Ever since Hyundai announced it was forming the ‘N’ division, there have been murmurings of an exclusive range-topper. Not another warmed-over version of one of the brand’s existing models, like the nevertheless tremendous i30N, but a bespoke, ground-up performance car. Like when AMG did the SLS (and then the GT). Well we need murmur no longer, for Hyundai has confirmed it is indeed doing a ‘halo model’. We’re told it will ride on a bespoke platform, which is excellent (though there will be some “sharing”), but the company’s remaining tight-lipped about everything else. Seriously - we’ve got next to no information. We don’t know when it’s going to be launched or what sort of engine it might have - not even whether it’ll be coupe, hatch or something else entirely. Gyoo Heon Choi, the company’s boss of high-performance vehicle planning, says Hyundai “needs something to further improve [its] high performance image”. “The base model [i30N] is not enough. Volume-wise it’s good, but it’s just a derivative [of the normal i30]. We need something unique and powerful to live at the top of the hierarchy,” he says. “At the top is motorsports, then just behind that is halo and then comes the N models.” Klaus Köster is Hyundai’s director of high-performance vehicle development. All he’ll tell us is that this mystery-car will be a “blast”. “Everything else, I could tell you,” he says, “but afterwards there are two possibilities. Either I would have to kill you, or use those things from Men In Black”. We managed to extract a few tidbits. Choi confirms N is effectively experimenting with different powertrains and bodystyles. Some form of electrification is on the cards. Of course Hyundai has a lot of in-house expertise when it comes to EV and fuel-cell tech’, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the new car were to feature hybrid power. I speculate wildly, and nothing is denied. Front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive… Klaus has an irritatingly good poker face. Whatever form this halo car does eventually take, we’re told it will follow the same basic principles of N and the i30, and indeed other as-yet unseen N products. “We have a philosophy you can take it from the dealer to the racetrack and you can have some fun without having to renew the whole car after half a lap,” says Klaus. “This philosophy in general will stay I think. And that’s the topic that we will then take into account by choosing what combination and direction we are heading.” While we can’t confirm when this car might be revealed, or when we might learn more about it (give us a break, Hyundai), in the meantime there will without doubt be more ‘normal’ N-cars - performance versions of existing models. Maybe an i20, which would make sense given it’s the car Hyundai uses in the World Rally Championship. Possibly a Tucson, too. Of the latter, Klaus says his engineers are “thrilled” at the prospect of doing different types of cars. “They want to show all that stuff for sure. Others have done it obviously, so we can do the same.” Patience, therefore, is the name of the game with N. Let’s just hope that whatever it is that emerges is at least half as good as the i30N. Because that would still be a very good car. Mustn’t stumble at the second hurdle. That’s worse than fluffing the first.

Harry Kane's phenomenal goalscoring exploits for Tottenham and England makes him an automatic selection for both. As such, the news that Kane is facing at least six weeks on the sidelines with damage to his left ankle ligaments provides a major headache for Mauricio Pochettino. England begin their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign against Czech Republic on March 22, meaning Gareth Southgate's hopes of having his captain operating at full tilt have been severely compromised. Kane's superb returns over recent seasons have come despite three previous ankle setbacks hindering his progress. Here, we look at when those injuries occurred and what happened next. September 2016 – Sunderland (H) Kane scored the only goal in a 1-0 win at White Hart Lane but was substituted during the closing stages and left the stadium on crutches with damaged right ankle ligaments. Spurs went five games unbeaten in the Premier League in Kane's absence – beating Middlesbrough and Manchester City before stringing together consecutive draws against West Brom, Bournemouth and Leicester City. Pochettino's men beat CSKA Moscow but took one point from two Champions League matches against Bayer Leverkusen before failing to make it out of the group. Kane's replacement Vincent Janssen opened the scoring with a penalty in an EFL Cup fourth-round clash at Liverpool before a Daniel Sturridge brace sent the hosts through. Such form helped Sturridge to begin Southgate's tenure as England's first-choice striker in Kane's absence for the World Cup qualifiers versus Malta and Slovenia. March 2017 – Millwall (H) Ten minutes into a 6-0 rout against fellow Londoners Millwall in the sixth round of the FA Cup, Kane suffered a similar injury to his right ankle, albeit less severe. The three Premier League matches he sat out against Southampton, Burnley and Swansea City all ended in Spurs victories, while England's encounters with Germany and Lithuania later in the month were also out of the question. He was back to score in the semi-final showdown versus Chelsea but could not avert a 4-2 loss. March 2018 – Bournemouth (A) Kane finished Russia 2018 as the proud winner of the Golden Boot but alarm bells were ringing four months earlier when another right ankle problem struck at Bournemouth. Despite departing the Vitality Stadium in a protective boot, the forward's convalescence was brief. England's March friendlies with Netherlands and Spain came too soon, as did the FA Cup quarter-final win over Swansea, but Kane was back as a late substitute in Tottenham's next Premier League match – a long-awaited 3-1 win at Chelsea. January 2019 – Manchester United (H) Pochettino will hope for a similarly ahead-of-schedule return as Spurs look towards a possible EFL Cup final, north London derby and Champions League last-16 clash with Borussia Dortmund as February turns into March. It should be noted this injury is the first to Kane's left ankle and not his right as on the three previous occasions
