Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FD8FDX - . A Ward & Son traditional butcher's shop on London Road, Stockton Heath, Warrington. The red-painted shopfront carries Traditional Butcher and Since 1904 wording, presenting a classic specialist food retailer on the busy A49 corridor through Stockton Heath. Stockton Heath is a busy suburban centre south of Warrington, centred on London Road and the A49. Its mix of independent shops, national chains, food businesses and services makes it a useful example of the modern British district high street. Retail photographs here can illustrate the survival of specialist traders alongside corporate chains, changing consumer habits, local employment, rents and business rates, pedestrian activity and the continuing role of neighbourhood centres in providing everyday services outside the largest city centres. The location is A Ward & Son, London Road, Stockton Heath, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4, England. This geographical detail helps distinguish the subject from similar businesses, buildings or scenes elsewhere and gives the photograph stronger value for local, regional and comparative editorial use. For picture researchers, the combination of legible wording and clear environmental context broadens the potential use beyond a simple location shot, allowing the image to support business, heritage, lifestyle and public-policy coverage. There is also a strong sense of contemporary place: practical objects, signage and architecture are shown as they actually appear in use, without removing the clutter that makes a documentary photograph informative. The image therefore has value not only for current news features but also for retrospective comparisons of how streets, services, brands and public expectations evolve over time. Details that might seem mundane at the moment of photography can later help date a streetscape or explain how a service was delivered, which is one reason straightforward editorial documentation remains useful to archives and publishers.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWJJC - . Monopoly Yorkshire Edition board game on display in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, UK. Photographed on 16 May 2026. The colourful regional version of the famous property-trading game features Yorkshire landmarks and imagery on its box and board, adapting the familiar Monopoly format to local places and identity. Regional editions of Monopoly replace the classic London locations with places relevant to a particular area, turning local geography and civic pride into a commercial game format. For night-time economy, the historical context is that commercial entertainment continually reinvents itself through new technologies and formats, from cinemas and video rental to escape rooms, themed attractions and interactive gaming. Looking at material culture, the longer history is that material culture includes the ordinary products people bought, used, collected or displayed
Small manufactured objects can reveal national identity, advertising, technology and popular taste in ways that formal records do not. The background to Thunderbirds is that toys preserve popular culture in miniature, reflecting television, film, manufacturing techniques and children's interests at a particular time
Character figures can outlast the programmes or marketing campaigns that originally made them familiar. For night-time economy, the 2026 context is that experience-led leisure such as escape rooms and themed attractions competes alongside streaming and gaming for discretionary spending, making town-centre entertainment an important part of the post-retail economy. In 2026, material culture remains relevant because sustainability and reuse also give older objects new relevance, encouraging repair, second-hand sales and appreciation of durable material culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11XX - . 7 Dreams Legend gaming machine by Octavian Gaming in Sicily, Italy. Photographed on 21 April 2026. The brightly illuminated electronic gambling machine features colourful game graphics, a bank of controls and branded cabinet artwork within an indoor leisure or gaming setting. The machine represents the digital evolution of traditional fruit machines and can illustrate stories about gambling regulation, gaming technology, consumer entertainment, amusement venues, machine design and the presence of electronic gambling products in hospitality and leisure environments. For the story of printed circuit board, it is useful to note that scientific and electronic equipment becomes historical quickly because components and interfaces are replaced by newer generations
Circuit boards, laboratory machines and instruments make visible the hardware beneath contemporary automated systems. The historical setting for themed attraction is that leisure businesses are highly responsive to fashion
Names, signs and interiors can therefore become strong markers of a particular period even when the underlying premises remain in use. Seen through betting, the earlier context is that the growth of online gambling changed the role of physical premises but did not remove casinos, slot venues and bookmakers from many British high streets. For present-day printed circuit board, 2026 is significant because scientific research relies heavily on automated instrumentation, data processing and specialist facilities, so older laboratory machines provide useful comparison with the pace of technical change. In the 2026 discussion of themed attraction, experience-led leisure such as escape rooms and themed attractions competes alongside streaming and gaming for discretionary spending, making town-centre entertainment an important part of the post-retail economy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3C4CY54 - Tipperary (/ˌtɪpəˈrɛəri/
Irish: Tiobraid Árann, meaning 'well of the Ara'), commonly known as Tipperary Town, is a town and a civil parish[2] in County Tipperary, Ireland. Its population was 4,979 at the 2016 census.[1] It is also an ecclesiastical parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, and is in the historical barony of Clanwilliam.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJ3YJT - . Christmas truce sculpture, known as All Together Now by Andy Edwards, at St Lukes, the Bombed Out Church, Reece St, Liverpool, L1 2TR. Photographed on 19 August 2023. The recorded location is Leece St, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L1 2TR. Christmas truce sculpture, known as All Together Now by Andy Edwards in the garden, depicting a British and German soldier commencing a football game at Christmas 1914. Andy Edwards' sculpture All Together Now commemorates the unofficial Christmas Truce of 1914, when British and German troops in sectors of the Western Front left their trenches, exchanged greetings and, in some accounts, kicked footballs between the lines. The work uses two soldiers and a football to represent a moment of temporary humanity amid industrialised warfare. Its setting at St Luke's, Liverpool's bomb-damaged 'Bombed Out Church', adds another layer of war memory: the church was devastated by incendiary bombing during the May Blitz of 1941 and survives as a roofless cultural landmark. Looking at the subject's development, art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and photographs preserve works that may later change or disappear. From a heritage perspective, christmas imagery ranges from religious observance to commercial decoration, seasonal entertainment and humour
Cards, shop displays, lights and novelty messages reveal how the festival has been represented in popular culture as well as how retail and public spaces respond to the winter season. Historically, parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, Victorian restoration, monuments, stained glass, organs, altars and inscriptions can coexist in a single building, reflecting generations of worship and local patronage.

They can commemorate people and events, respond to politics, celebrate industry or simply enliven streets, while the artists' materials and styles place the work within a particular period. In historical terms, seasonal photographs document the mixture of tradition, commerce and community activity surrounding Christmas
Domestic lights, cards, street attractions and anti-Christmas jokes all sit within a broader culture of winter celebration. The wider historical story is that churches combine worship with architecture, community memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, community benefactors, war remembrance and family history.

In historical terms, public art can become part of the identity of a street or neighbourhood, recording political ideas, local history, humour, memory and changing cultural tastes
Murals, sculpture and decorative art are especially valuable as documentary subjects because they may be altered, moved, weathered or removed. Historically, festive objects and decorations are part of a long tradition of Christmas visual culture, from greetings cards and church imagery to illuminated houses, fairs and satirical 'Bah Humbug' humour
Designs and typography can quickly become associated with a specific decade. As background, ecclesiastical buildings are both active places of worship and repositories of local history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments provide evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PHEFP9 - Gambling apps more dangerous than FOBTs, study finds
Authors say outdated laws fail to protect vulnerable users from smartphone gambling
Smartphone gambling apps are more dangerous than fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) for people with addiction problems because opportunities to lose money are just a tap away , a study suggests.
Gambling games on smartphones have surged in popularity in recent years, allowing high-stakes betting within the palm of its users' hands, with video game-style play making them appear harmless and introductory offers providing incentives to sign up.
Scrutiny of the gambling industry has been focused on fixed-odds betting terminals in high street bookmakers, leading the government to cut the maximum stake on the machines from £100 to £2, although this has yet to be implemented.
However, smartphone gambling could be more problematic for people psychologically predisposed to addiction, given how the betting games can be accessed anywhere in the UK with an internet connection, according to academics.
The study, published in the academic journal European Addiction Research, found that because users check their phones frequently throughout the day referred to as snacking' mobile gamblers tend to bet more often, even after suffering repeated losses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M95ND2 - Darts or dart-throwing is a competitive sport in which two or more players bare-handedly throw small sharp-pointed missiles known as darts at a round target known as a dartboard
The standard numbered point system is attributed to Lancashire carpenter Brian Gamlin, who devised it in 1896 to penalise inaccuracy, though this is disputed. Many configurations have been used, varying by time and location. In particular, the Yorkshire and Manchester Log End boards differ from the standard board in that they have no triple, only double and bullseye. The Manchester board is smaller than the standard, with a playing area of only 25 cm (9.8 in) across, with double and bull areas measuring just 4 mm (0.16 in). The London Fives board is another variation, with only 12 equal segments, with the doubles and trebles being a quarter of an inch (6.35 mm) wide.
Mathematically, removing the rotational symmetry by placing the 20 at the top, there are 19!, or 121,645,100,408,832,000 possible dartboards. Many different layouts would penalise a player more than the current setup
however, the current setup actually does the job rather efficiently. There have been several mathematical papers published that consider the optimal dartboard.
Before World War I, pubs in the United Kingdom had dartboards made from solid blocks of wood, usually elm. But darts pocked the surface of elm such that it was common for a hole to develop around the treble twenty. The other problem was that elm wood needed periodic soaking to keep the wood soft.
In 1935, chemist Ted Leggatt and pub owner Frank Dabbs began using the century plant, a type of agave, to make dartboards. Small bundles of sisal fibres of the same length were bundled together. The bundles were then compressed into a disk and bound with a metal ring. This new dartboard was an instant success. It was more durable and required little maintenance. Furthermore, darts did little or no damage to the board
they simply parted the packed fibres whe

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PPBF - This image shows a colourful Trick or Treaters Welcome sign placed in a residential garden decorated for Halloween. The sign is surrounded by seasonal props including skeleton figures, ghost decorations, and themed garden ornaments, creating a welcoming and playful atmosphere for visiting children.
In the UK, displaying a sign such as this has become a common way for households to signal participation in Halloween activities, particularly trick or treating. It provides reassurance to families and helps manage expectations within neighbourhoods by clearly indicating which homes are open to visitors.
Halloween has grown in popularity across Britain over recent decades, blending traditional folklore with modern community-focused celebrations. Garden displays and signage form part of this visual culture, transforming ordinary residential spaces into festive, themed environments during late October.
Photographed in daylight, the image offers a documentary view of contemporary Halloween customs in the UK. It is well suited for editorial use covering seasonal traditions, family activities, community life, autumn celebrations, and cultural change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRM41R - These games are characterized by multiple levels filled with medals or coins. Behind these platforms are mechanical brooms that push the coins forward. When a coin is dropped in, it falls onto one of the platforms and has the chance of pushing other coins (and possibly prizes placed on top of the coins) off the edge and being awarded to the player, unless they fall in the left and right 'lose' side of the edge. Timing in dropping the coin is a skill factor in the game.
In the United Kingdom, pusher games often called penny falls are very popular in arcades, and can often be found at tourist attractions such as theme parks and bowling alleys. Often, these machines use real coins rather than tokens (usually a low denomination such as the 2p or 10p), but otherwise behave in the same way as games that operate with medals or tokens.
Variations on the pusher game can be much more complex. They often involve a Plinko-style chute that causes the coin to drop in which there are different slots the dropped medal can fall into, causing various in game effects. Some slots may have the machine drop in more coins, others may initiate a video slot machine built into the machine. From the video slot machine more coins and other bonuses can be awarded.
Many pusher games are connected to one another, some even with shared platforms, to form mega jackpots, sometimes as many as 100,000+ medals. Sometimes a video mini game can be activated, in which coins must be dropped or rolled to hit specific targets, or buttons on the machine must be pressed in order to play. For example, a mini game could involve pressing a star shaped button to make Mario jump and hit coin blocks, which could give coins.
Another aspect of the pusher games is that they are often themed on things targeted towards children, such as video game and cartoon characters.

The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed. From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.
The 70's & 80's the golden years
In 1981, after a couple of good seasons following promotion to the top division in the late 70's, the 1st XI won the top flight for the first time. One of Grappenhall's best teams, it included some famous Grappers names such as Duncan Martindale, Rick Houghton, Chris Ashton, Neil Titchard, Jim Green, Nick Sharp and a young Neil Fairbrother, only a few years before he headed off for big things with Lancashire and England.
In 1982, the 1st XI went one better, this time winning the league and cup double with the HC Cup Final being one of a number of appearances the club mate at Old Trafford in the 80's. The double was repeated in 1987 with another appearance at Old Trafford, this time with the team including another future Lancashire star and future Grappers captain in Steve Titchard. In the same season, the 2nd XI also tasted success by winning the Worthington Cup. There were a number of other cup successes for the club during this period for the different senior and junior teams, with many a memorable game taking place and the tales still being regaled today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K41M5G - The curious Pyramidal tomb of William Mackenzie in Liverpool
Making a distinctive appearance in the graveyard of St Andrew's Church, Rodney Street, Liverpool is the 15 foot high pyramidal tomb of the British civil engineer and civil engineering contractor, William Mackenzie.
The tomb lies in what is reputed to be one of the most haunted areas of Liverpool city.
Born near Nelson, Lancashire in 1794 and the eldest of the 11 children, Mackenzie started his career as an apprentice weaver but changed to civil engineering.
He went on to make his fortune working as engineer on canal and railway projects, latterly working on new railway lines in France, Spain, the Italian states and Belgium.
Mackenzie died in 1851, leaving most of his £341,848 estate to his brother Edward, who erected this pyramid shaped monument at the grave in 1868
In the vault beneath lie the remains of William Mackenzie of Newbie, Dumfriesshire, Esquire who died 29th October 1851 aged 57 years. Also, Mary his wife, who died 19th December 1838 aged 48 years and Sarah, his second wife who died 9th December 1867 aged 60 years. This monument was erected by his Brother Edward as a token of love and affection A.D. 1868. The memory of the just is blessed
A wonderfully improbable local legend tells the story of how McKenzie was supposedly entombed seated at a table with a winning hand of cards in his bony fingers.
The yarn insists that as an inveterate gambler, he bet and lost his soul in a game of poker with the Devil and figured that if he was never buried, Satan could never claim his prize.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M475J4 - William Mackenzie (20 March 1794 29 October 1851) was an Anglo-Scottish civil engineer and civil engineering contractor who was one of the leading European contractors in the 1840s
his profitable contracts including tunnels on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway between Edge Hill and Lime Street, and contracts for the Grand Union, North Union, Midland Counties and Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock railways. Non-railway contracts included Liverpool Haymarket, the Manchester and Sheffield Junction Canal and the Shannon navigation
In 1819 Mackenzie married Mary Dalziel, daughter of a Glasgow commission agent. Mary died in 1838 and in 1839 he married Sarah Dewhurst. Mackenzie maintained offices in Paris and in Liverpool and from 1843 he lived at 74 Grove Street, Liverpool, where he died in 1851.
He was buried in St Andrew's Church, Rodney Street, Liverpool in 1851. A pyramid-shaped monument was erected at the grave by his brother Edward in 1868. An inscription on the pyramid door reads: In the vault beneath lie the remains of William Mackenzie of Newbie, Dumfriesshire, Esquire who died 29th October 1851 aged 57 years. Also, Mary his wife, who died 19th December 1838 aged 48 years and Sarah, his second wife who died 9th December 1867 aged 60 years. This monument was erected by his Brother Edward as a token of love and affection A.D. 1868. The memory of the just is blessed.
William's estate amounted to £341,848, almost all of which was left to his youngest brother, Edward. He had no children. The Diary of William Mackenzie, published by Thomas Telford Publishing in 2000, is a full transcription of Mackenzie's handwritten diaries, and it provides insight into his busy life.
The inscription proves that MacKenzie was buried beneath (not entombed inside) the pyramid and that the monument itself was not erected until 16 years after his demise. Even so, the legend of his upright interment continues to be told and believed by many.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYYP8 - . Panorama of the Warrington Wolves Halliwell Jones stadium, venue for the 2013 rugby world cup. Photographed on 2 August 2013. The recorded location is Jones Halliwell Rugby stadium, Winwick Road, Warrington, WA2 7NE United Kingdom. Two games will be played: New Zealand vs Samoa 27/10/2013. In the longer view, sport is closely tied to local identity and popular culture
Grounds, trophies, simulators and match-day material show how professional and recreational sport are experienced away from the action itself, while preserving details that may later disappear. From a heritage perspective, seasonal and low-light photography can emphasise the relationship between natural conditions and the built environment
Dusk, snow, mist or dramatic cloud often reveal lighting, silhouettes and reflective surfaces that are less apparent in ordinary daylight. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that professional sport is increasingly shaped by digital broadcasting, data, sponsorship and sophisticated venues, while heritage grounds and physical memorabilia retain strong emotional appeal for supporters. As of 2026, current interest in climate and place-making gives atmospheric landscape photographs added documentary value, particularly where weather, coastlines or urban development are prominent. In historical terms, sports venues and objects often carry strong associations with particular eras, clubs and events
Changes in branding, safety standards, broadcasting and stadium design mean relatively recent images can acquire historical value rapidly. From a heritage perspective, sporting images document not only competition but venues, equipment, supporters and the commercial culture surrounding games
Stadiums, tickets and memorabilia can quickly become historical as clubs rebuild grounds, sponsors change and technology alters the spectator experience. Useful related concepts include football, fan culture, sporting heritage, match day, trophy, and sporting culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 8124430083 - 'Its about this time of year that The Daily mail and others run articles about the dangers of conkers and other things, usually on slack news days.
'Traditional school games such as conkers and leapfrog are dying out because over-protective teachers have irrational fears about health and safety, a survey suggests.
Researchers found that conkers have been banned from nearly one sixth of playgrounds for fear that they could cause injury or trigger a nut allergy, even though they are not nuts.
British bulldog contests have been banned from more than a quarter of playgrounds and even innocuous games such as leapfrog and marbles are going the same way.
Of 653 heads, teachers and support staff questioned, 29 per cent said British bulldog has been banned in their school, 14 per cent said pupils are forbidden from playing conkers and 9 per cent said leapfrog had been banned.
Some 5 per cent said children were prevented from playing marbles and the same percentage said chasing games, such as tag, had been stopped.
The trend has been blamed on the rise in bureaucracy and red tape in schools and an increase in the number of parents who sue. Education experts have accused \u2018over-zealous\u2019 teachers of ruining childhoods.
Tim Gill, former director of the Children\u2019s Play Council at the National Children\u2019s Bureau, said schools have \u2018forgotten how to give children a good childhood\u2019.
He added: \u2018Bumps and scrapes and dealing with life\u2019s trials are part and parcel of growing into a confident and resilient person.
\u2018You can only learn through experience.\u2019 '
This is one of the oldest chestnuts (geddit?) around, a truly classic myth. A well-meaning head teacher decided children should wear safety goggles to play conkers. Subsequently some schools appear to have banned conkers on 'health &
safety' grounds or made children wear goggles, or even padded gloves!
Realistically the risk from playing conkers is incredibly low and just not worth bothering about. If kids deliberately hit each other over the head with conkers, that's a discipline issue, not health and safety.

The Lewis Chessmen (or Uig Chessmen, named stock-photo/gotonysmith-After.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>after the bay where they were found) are a group of 78 12th-century chess pieces, most of which are carved in walrus ivory. Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, they may constitute some of the few complete, surviving medieval chess sets, although it is not clear if a set as originally made can be assembled from the pieces. They are owned and exhibited by the British Museum in London, which has 67 of the original pieces, and the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, which has the remaining 11 pieces.
A bishop is shown here when the pieces came back to Lewis for a short visit. Alex MacDonald, convener of Western Isles Council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, welcomed the exhibition, which will ran through summer 2011 until the 12th September.
He said: 'The enigma of the Lewis Chessmen has intrigued and puzzled those who have viewed these inscrutable faces in the last 200 years or so. 'This will give our own community and visitors the opportunity to come face-to-face with faces which are over 800 years old.'
Pieces including a knight, king, queen and bishop were also on display at Uig Museum on 13 September for one day. Curators from National Museums Scotland and the British Museum were present to answer any queries from visitors.
The chessmen are one of the most significant archaeological discoveries ever made in Scotland.
The chessmen were probably made in Norway, perhaps by craftsmen in Trondheim, in the 12th century, although some scholars have suggested other sources in the Nordic countries. During that period the Outer Hebrides, along with other major groups of Scottish islands, were ruled by Norway.
According to Dr. Alex Woolf, director of the Institute for Medieval Studies of the University of St. Andrews, there are a number of reasons for believing the chess pieces probably came from Trondheim: a broken queen piece in a similar style found in an excavation of the archbishop's palace (it appeared the piece was broken as it was being made), the presence of wealthy people in Trondheim able to pay craftsmen for the high-quality pieces, similar carving in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, the excavation in Trondheim of a kite-shaped shield similar to shields on some of the pieces and a king piece of similar design found on Hitra Island, near the mouth of Trondheim Fjord. Woolf has said that the armour worn by the chess figures includes 'perfect' reproductions of armour worn at the time in Norway.
Some historians believe that the Lewis chessmen were hidden (or lost) after some mishap occurred during their carriage from Norway to wealthy Norse towns on the east coast of Ireland, like Dublin. The large number of pieces and their lack of wear may suggest they were the stock of a trader or dealer in such pieces. Along with the chess pieces, there were 14 plain round tablemen for the game of tables and one belt buckle, all made of ivory, making a total of 93 artifacts.
On bishops, The Church of England today has dropped its prohibition on gay clergy in civil partnerships becoming bishops. The announcement, from the Church's House of Bishops, would allow gay clergy to become bishops if they promise to be celibate.
Conservative evangelical Anglicans say they will fight the move in the Church's ruling general synod.
The issue has split the church since 2003 amid a row over gay cleric Jeffrey John becoming Bishop of Reading. Mr John, now Dean of St Albans, was forced to withdraw from the role shortly after having initially accepted it, following protests from traditionalists.
He was also a candidate for Bishop of Southwark in 2010 but was rejected. Evidence emerged that this was because of his sexual orientation. The Church of England has already agreed to allow people in civil partnerships to become clergy, provided they promised they would remain celibate.
I am not so sure that Norsemen had this issue to deal with. It was probably a simpler world back then!

Grand Theft Auto is referred to a number of times in defence of various crimes in the UK and the States. In February 2003, 16-year-old American Dustin Lynch was charged with aggravated murder and made an insanity defense that he was 'obsessed' with Grand Theft Auto III.
On June 25, 2003, two American step brothers, Joshua and William Buckner, aged 14 and 16, respectively, used a rifle to fire at vehicles on Interstate 40 in Tennessee, killing a 45-year-old man and wounding a 19-year-old woman. The two shooters told investigators they had been inspired by Grand Theft Auto III. they were all found guilty.
In September 2007 in Ohio, 16-year-old Daniel Petric snuck out of his bedroom window to purchase the game Halo 3 against the orders of his father, a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, Ohio, U.S.
His parents eventually banned him from the game after he spent up to 18 hours a day with it, and secured it in a lockbox in a closet where the father also kept a 9mm handgun, according to prosecutors. In October 2007, Daniel used his father's key to open the lockbox and remove the gun and the game. He then entered the living room of his house and shot both of them in the head, killing his mother and wounding his father.
Petric is sentenced to life in prison without parole, which was later commuted to 23 years in imprisonment. While defense attorneys argued that Petric was influenced by video game addiction, the court fully dismissed these claims.
Surveys and research are pretty thin on the ground however if you trawl the internet. Many that can be found are short term or limited in scope. In the meantime, the games industry continues to grow, overtaking music sales in some countries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDB7 - . A grounded documentary photograph made at the recorded location in 2010, combining the immediate subject with evidence of the surrounding streetscape, public realm, business activity or local character. The frame specifically shows How to gamble Queen of diamonds playing card in a back pocket of a pair of jeans. Other connected aspects include retail property, local enterprise, everyday life, bricks-and-mortar retail, place identity, archival record, community identity, town-centre trading, customer footfall, small business, period detail, contemporary social history, specialist shop, and street-level business. The wider contemporary story combines online shopping, commercial rents and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets. Small period details of materials and architectural details at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following conservation work. The surrounding story also includes historical comparison, regional identity, independent retail, specialist retailer, documentary photography, high-street commerce, visual archive, and changing land use. References to diamonds, jeans, playing, pocket, and Queen give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. A later view of the recorded location may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. Another strand within the photograph is online shopping and how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses when considered against later change at the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate town-centre regeneration and the resilience of specialist shops in an online retail economy without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The image fixes period character for future local research. It also preserves a trace of local identity before later change alters the scene.

Goodison Park, long associated with Everton FC, hosted World Cup fixtures in 1966 and remains closely linked with English football architecture, terracing culture, crowd history and Merseyside sport. This ticket also suits stories about collectable ephemera, fan experience, match-day access, analogue sporting records, archival football material, historic tournaments, classic World Cup shocks, and the commercial afterlife of sporting souvenirs. The Portugal v North Korea quarter-final is remembered for North Korea's extraordinary early lead and Portugal's recovery, making the ticket valuable as documentary evidence of a famous live football occasion. Its worn surface, punched holes and serial number add authenticity for collectors and historians illustrating the material culture of major sporting events.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGJW81 - Bar billiards is a form of billiards which involves scoring points by potting balls in holes on the playing surface of the table rather than in pockets. Bar billiards developed from the French/Belgian game billard russe, of Russian origin. The current form started in the UK in the 1930s and now has leagues in Norfolk, Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Northamptonshire. These counties comprise the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey where the annual world championships take place.
The game of bar billiards developed originally from the French billiard, which due to the expensive tables in the fifteenth century was played only by the French monarchy and the very rich. The game was transformed into Billiard Russe during the 16th century for the Russian Tsars and a derivative of Bagatelle played by French royalty.
Bar billiards was first imported into the UK during the early 1930s when David Gill, an Englishman witnessed a game of billiard russe (Russian billiards) taking place in Belgium. He persuaded the Jelkes company of Holloway Road in London to make a similar table. Tables were also made by Sams, Riley, Burroughs & Watts and Clare. It is now a traditional bar game played in leagues in the English counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Kent, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex and Yorkshire, and also the Channel Islands. The game's governing body is the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey. The standard league tables have a playing surface approximately 32 inches (81 cm) wide. Sams also made a narrower version with a 28-inch (71 cm) width playing surface

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F80G8P - In association football, the United Trinity or the Holy Trinity refers to the Manchester United trio of George Best, Denis Law, and Bobby Charlton, who helped United become the first ever English club team to win the European Cup in 1968.
Charlton was a member of the Busby Babes, a group of talented young players brought through the club's academy by the eponymous manager Matt Busby and his assistant Jimmy Murphy, as well as club scout Joe Armstrong, who discovered Charlton in 1953, and Best in 1961, amongst others.

Charlton made his debut on 6 October 1956, scoring twice in a 42 win against Charlton Athletic. Law made his debut on 18 August 1962, scoring in a 22 with West Bromwich Albion. Although Best made debut against West Bromwich Albion on 14 September 1963, it wouldn't be until the reverse fixture on 18 January 1964 when all three would feature in the same starting line-up
a 41 victory in which all three scored, with Law scoring two of them

Authors say outdated laws fail to protect vulnerable users from smartphone gambling
Smartphone gambling apps are more dangerous than fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) for people with addiction problems because opportunities to lose money are just a tap away , a study suggests.
Gambling games on smartphones have surged in popularity in recent years, allowing high-stakes betting within the palm of its users' hands, with video game-style play making them appear harmless and introductory offers providing incentives to sign up.
Scrutiny of the gambling industry has been focused on fixed-odds betting terminals in high street bookmakers, leading the government to cut the maximum stake on the machines from £100 to £2, although this has yet to be implemented.
However, smartphone gambling could be more problematic for people psychologically predisposed to addiction, given how the betting games can be accessed anywhere in the UK with an internet connection, according to academics.
The study, published in the academic journal European Addiction Research, found that because users check their phones frequently throughout the day referred to as snacking' mobile gamblers tend to bet more often, even after suffering repeated losses.

A common design principle in mobile gaming, as this type of gambling is referred to, is that a mix of small wins, near misses' and losses encourage greater levels of engagement.
Experts have previously warned that gambling companies use sophisticated techniques to ingrain their products in the lives of their users by creating psychological dependencies, nudging people into live gameplay through notifications, emails and other methods.
Notwithstanding the euphoria of winning, this can activate mechanisms in the brain akin to the effect of cocaine

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JM9P39 - A slot machine (American English), fruit machine (British English) or poker machine (Australian English and New Zealand English) is a gambling machine that creates a game of chance for its customers. Slot machines are also known pejoratively as one-armed bandits because of the large mechanical levers affixed to the sides of early mechanical machines and the games' ability to empty players' pockets and wallets as thieves would.[1]
A slot machine's standard layout features a screen displaying three or more reels that spin when the game is activated. Some modern slot machines still include a lever as a skeuomorphic design trait to trigger play. However, the mechanics of early machines have been superseded by random number generators, and most are now operated using buttons and touchscreens.
Slot machines include one or more currency detectors that validate the form of payment, whether coin, cash, voucher, or token. The machine pays out according to the pattern of symbols displayed when the reels stop spinning. Slot machines are the most popular gambling method in casinos and constitute about 70% of the average U.S. casino's income.[2]
Digital technology has resulted in variations in the original slot machine concept. As the player is essentially playing a video game, manufacturers can offer more interactive elements, such as advanced bonus rounds and more varied video graphics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7YMK9 - Red Wayne Rooney number 10 Manchester United shirt is displayed hanging on an official hook inside the Manchester United dressing room at Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester. The shirt, shown with Rooney's name and large white number 10 on the back, is presented as part of the club's stadium visitor experience, giving supporters a close view of the changing room setting associated with one of English football's most recognisable clubs. The image includes the wooden locker panels, metal fittings, shirt hanger and the repeated a Alamy watermark visible across the uploaded preview.
Wayne Rooney is strongly associated with Manchester United's modern Premier League era. He joined the club from Everton in 2004 and wore the number 10 shirt for Manchester United from the 2007-08 season onwards, a squad number with major heritage at Old Trafford. The red shirt, white sleeve trim and Premier League sleeve patches connect the scene with the high-profile commercial and sporting culture of elite English football, where player shirts, squad numbers and stadium tours are all part of the global supporter economy.
Old Trafford is the home of Manchester United and one of the best-known football grounds in the UK, often marketed to fans and visitors through tours, museum visits, hospitality and matchday experiences. A dressing room display like this is useful editorial imagery for stories about Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, Premier League history, football tourism, sports branding, club heritage, football memorabilia, famous shirt numbers, fan culture and the wider commercialisation of modern football. The close, front-on composition emphasises the name Rooney, the number 10 and the dressing room hook, making the shirt the clear subject rather than the wider stadium

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYW94 - Halliwell Jones Stadium is a rugby league stadium in Warrington, England that is the home ground of Warrington Wolves. It has also staged Challenge Cup semi-finals, the European Nations Final and the National League Grand Finals' Day.
By the late 1990s, Warrington RLFC's spiritual home Wilderspool Stadium had become decrepit and unfit for purpose, and so the club looked to move to a new stadium. Before settling on the site which had formerly housed the Tetley Walker brewery, a site in Burtonwood was considered but these plans were rejected. The last competitive game at Wilderspool (after 105 years at the ground) was played on 21 September 2003, when Warrington beat Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 52-12.
The stadium was notable for bucking the common trend of modern stadia by including terracing areas rather than being an all-seater stadium. There were originally 4 stands in the stadium the North Stand (reserved seating), the East Stand (originally unreserved seating but later became reserved seating), the South Stand (home terracing), and the West Stand (visitors' terracing and overflow of home terracing). It also has enormous pitch dimensions of 120 m x 74 m, as requested by Warrington's head coach of the time, Paul Cullen, due to his desire to play expansive rugby.
The official capacity of the stadium is 15,200.
