York (i/ˈjɔːrk/) is a historic walled city at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England, and is the traditional county town of Yorkshire to which it gives its name. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events in England throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural and sporting activities making it a popular tourist destination for millions.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained.
In the 19th century, York became a hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy.
The York Hall is a health and leisure centre and one of Britain's best known boxing venues.
The venue is situated on Old Ford Road in Bethnal Green, London, England. The hall, opened in 1929 with a capacity of 1,200, stages boxing as well as providing a gymnasium and swimming pool.
The hall is owned by Tower Hamlets Council and in 2004 was threatened with closure. However, the hall was saved, and in 2005 it underwent a major multimillion-pound refurbishment in a joint project between the local Tower Hamlets council and Greenwich Leisure. The site is split into three sections: a leisure centre with pool and gymnasium; a Spa and a multi-use events hall.
The historic Turkish Bath or banya in the basement was the last publicly run example in the East End of London. In 1972 there were still six Turkish baths, a legacy of the high Jewish population of Russian and Polish origin. This included the traditional suites of Russian and Turkish steam rooms, sauna, relaxation lounge. This popular and often full facility was closed and re-branded as and upmarket "Spa London" by the council in July 2007, amid vocal protests from its users. Treatment rooms were added to provide a range of upmarket beauty treatments. Where customers used to give each other a massage with the traditional Yiddish schmeis free of charge, they now have to pay £56 on top of the £21 admission, whilst treatments such as Hydrotherapy Hydration Purity Rituals have been introduced. Neal Hounsell, Head of Leisure Services at Tower Hamlets, justified the re-branding on the basis that the borough was one of the most deprived in London.

Featherweight Christos Ioannou took his record to 2-0 with a tough points win against Aleksandrs Birkenbergs over 4 rounds. Ioannou came out moving well in the first round drawing Birkenbergs onto his work and jabbing him well when he got him there. Birkenbergs managed to work the body with some success when he pushed Ioannou back to the ropes but he quickly moved off and got his solid left hand off and looked dominant in there. Birkenbergs started the 2nd round with an awkward hang out jab, Christos worked around it well – moving his head and taking his time to double the jab up and come in under the guard of his opponent and dig in a right body shot. By the end of the 2nd round Christos’s timing was spot on and the left hands were landing every time he threw them. In the last 2 rounds Bi...
Cruiserweight Jose Lopes secured a very easy points win over 6 rounds against Russ Henshaw as he dominated with a stiff jab and slick footwork. Lopes came out staying low and hanging his jab out early in the fight doubling it up well and staying on the front foot – Henshaw came in low countering to the body but with no accuracy as Lopes continued to move and make him look stupid, near the end of the round Henshaw’s nose looked bloodied as Lopes had complete control of the round and pace. Henshaw attempted the double jab in the 2nd round but Lopes’s slick movement kept him away from any trouble, his power showed through more by the end of the round putting together some great hook and uppercut combinations. The fight continued in the same manner for the final 4 rounds with Lopes staying in ...

I never thought
Love was so powerful
I saw love in your eyes
As if you saw it in mine
If you died in my arms
I'd never live
For you had brought me back to life
Fresh as a flower
Sweeter than candy and juice
Heart of gold
I'll never turn you loose
Even in the darkest nights
Your love glows so bright
Never will I leave you
For I wouldn't live without you
I would die in sorrow and sadness
No other girl would ever compare to you
You're unique and special
And beautiful, my boo
I wouldn't miss a single second
To look at your gorgeous face
To cherish and hold forever
Kiss my love and embrace (my love)
