Carlo Ancelotti on Di Maria's exit from Real, "He left to earn more elsewhere"

So Angel di Maria’s reason for leaving his former club, Real Madrid was all about more bucks. Speaking on the Argentine’s exit, Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that he left for Manchester United when the club could not meet his huge pay-packet demands.

The former Chelsea manager told Cadena COPE, “Di Maria? I was in agreement with the club. There are times when the club needs to say no. You can’t change the policies of the club for one player. Di Maria asked for a lot of money and preferred to leave to go find it.  The club couldn’t give him the money he wanted.  They say that I’m the manager of the club; of course, I coach for the club, not for the players.”

Di Maria joined The Red Devils few months back on a British record of £59.7million after a four-year stay at Santiago Bernabeu.

Have you seen this touching animation on Ebola?

United Methodist Communications in collaboration with Chocolate Moose Media and iHeed have created an animation for West Africa that dispels myths about how Ebola is spread and promotes prevention. 

DOWNLOAD the animation free at http://www.ebolavideo.org.




“Our goal is to provide education that leads to better understanding to prevent infections. Ebola gains foothold in poor communities where mistrust, resistance to proper care and lack of understanding of the virus and is widespread. The church’s advantage lies in its network of trusted leaders who live in the affected regions.” said the Rev. Larry Hollon, chief executive of United
Methodist Communications. 






United Methodist Communications (http://www.umcom.org), the global
communications agency of The United Methodist Church, is using several
approaches, including providing text messages to clergy in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Commentaries by trusted leaders encourage cooperation with health programs.






The agency provided partial funding for Chocolate Moose Media
(http://www.chocmoose.com) to create the video. The executive producer is
iHeed (http://www.iheed.org), a mobile-health-education innovator.




Chocolate Moose Media founder and award-winning director Firdaus Kharas
said,‎ “I have created what I hope will be a compelling video to prevent the spread of Ebola. My approach is to combine animation with non-coercive persuasion by having Africans speak to their own broader family.”
‎

Accessed through download for local playback, all partners will distribute
the video to reach as many as possible. Distribution channels include
international organizations, non-governmental organizations, civil society and churches and through social media using #Ebolavideo.






“Through a combination of weak health infrastructure, inconsistent levels of education and unpreparedness, this epidemic has become a global threat,”said Dr. Kunal D. Patel, medical director of iHeed. “Digital media can fill the gaps. In combination with technologies such as mobile phones, cinemas, projectors and tablets, animated information can help.”
According to the World Health Organization, 7,470 cases of Ebola had been reported as of Oct. 3 (http://goo.gl/ni3P1M), with 3,431 deaths in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.


Ebola is transmitted to humans from wild animals and spreads through
person-to-person transmission. Contact with the body of a deceased person can also play a role in transmission.
