"Luis is a remarkably gifted addition to the long and distinguished list of winners of our award," Andy added.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Charles Buchan, one of the founders of the FWA, said the award should be presented "to the professional player who by precept and example is considered by a ballot of members to be the footballer of the year".</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
And there will be those who argue that, for all his goals, Suarez has failed to live up to the standards of Buchan's words given he started the season completing a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic -- a punishment which itself came a year after he received an eight-game suspension for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.</div>

Nevertheless, Suarez gained 52 percent of a ballot in which votes were cast for 10 players in all, with Gerrard the runner-up and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure, a key figure in Manchester City's Premier League title-charge, in third place.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Suarez won just two votes in last year's poll and Dunn told Sky Sports: "Our voting opened 12 hours after the biting incident at Anfield, so I think that was taken into account.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
"I must stress the importance in this award that the football writers are asked to base their decision on obviously the footballing contribution throughout the season, but also to take into account the player's behaviour -- the original citation for the FWA award back in 1947/48 mentioned 'precept and example', so that is taken into account.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
"While no-one would say Suarez is whiter than white, you would have to say his behaviour all throughout the season has been very good and I think the football writers have taken that into account, an element of redemption if you like, and allied with those 30 goals, and the sensational talent he has displayed all season, that made him a very, very popular choice."</div>

<br /><br />In their study of more than 2,000 children aged three to 18, the harm occurred if both parents smoked.<br /><br />Experts say there is no "safe" level of exposure to second-hand smoke.<br /><br />The research, carried out in Finland and Australia, appears to reveal the physical effects of growing up in a smoke-filled home - although it is impossible to rule out other potentially contributory factors entirely.<br />Hidden damage<br /><br />Ultrasound scans showed how children whose parents both smoked developed changes in the wall of a main artery that runs up the neck to the head.<br /><br />While the differences in carotid intima-media thickness were modest, they were significant and detectable some 20 years later when children had reached adulthood, say the investigators.<br /><br />Study author Dr Seana Gall, from the University of Tasmania, said: "Our study shows that exposure to passive smoke in childhood causes a direct and irreversible damage to the structure of the arteries.<br /><br />"Parents, or even those thinking about becoming parents, should quit smoking. This will not only restore their own health but also protect the health of their children into the future."<br /><br />The results took account of other factors that might otherwise explain the association, such as whether the children went on to be smokers themselves, but the findings remained unchanged.<br /><br />However, if only one parent smoked the effect was not seen - possibly because exposure was not as high.<br /><br />Dr Gall said: "We can speculate that the smoking behaviour of someone in a house with a single adult smoking is different. For example, the parent that smokes might do so outside away from the family, therefore reducing the level of passive smoking. However, as we don't have this type of data, this is only a hypothesis."<br /><br />Regardless, experts say all children should be protected from second-hand smoke.<br /><br />Doireann Maddock, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "The negative health effects of passive smoking are well known, but this study goes a step further and shows it can cause potentially irreversible damage to children's arteries increasing their risk of heart problems in later life.<br /><br />"If you're a smoker, the single most effective way of reducing your child's exposure to passive smoke is for you to quit.<br /><br />"If this isn't possible, having a smoke-free home and car offers the best alternative to help protect your child from the harmful effects of passive smoke."<br /><br />Simon Clark, director of the smokers' group Forest, said: "We must avoid scaremongering because damage to arteries could be caused by a number of factors including poor diet and other forms of air pollution.<br /><br />"While it's sensible and considerate not to smoke around children in a small confined space it's far too easy to point the finger at smokers when the issue is extremely complicated."</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">One of the most popular TV actors of the current time, Apurbo is rather choosy about his works. He recently worked in his first full-length feature film, which is likely to be released this year. In a recent conversation, the model-turned-actor spoke to lestar image about his entry into the silver screen.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tell us about your film.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> It's called “Gangster Returns”. Normally I play romantic role in TV plays, but here, the audience will see me as an action hero.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What's your expectation from the film?<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> It's releasing sometime next month hopefully, and expectations are certainly high. The entire team has made a great effort to present a good film before the audiences. I hope it will entertain film lovers.  </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tell us about your experience as an action hero.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> I sustained injuries for a week on my ten-day schedule. I had to stay in water for 18 hours just shooting a title promo. It was shot at Coke factory in Tejgaon. I had to take up quite a few challenges for a number of sequences.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What are your plans for the big screen?<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> If I get quality scripts, I will continue in the field. Otherwise, I am happy with my career in the small screen. A lot of people ask me to quit TV plays and focus on cinema. But I don't think I can do that.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">You have also written, directed and acted in the tele-film “Backdated” simultaneously. How did that go?<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> It was stressful, performing three roles at a time. However, I am very satisfied with my first directorial work.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What kind of scripts interests you the most?<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> Very simple plots. As our life is filled with full of troubles, the audiences feel more comfortable receiving simple plots rather than complex ones. I want to entertain my viewers with plain storylines.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> You have also been seen singing …<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo: </strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">To be honest, I have no institutional education in music. I have adopted it a little through listening only. Besides, my mother was an enlisted singer at radio in Rajshahi. I am often asked to perform songs at different programmes. I have also sung the title song of my play “Bhalobasher Chatushkon”. I have plans to release an album in near future, maybe.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tell us something about yourself not many of your fans know.<br style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" />Apurbo:</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: georgia, Regular; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"> When I was born, Satyajit Ray's “Apu'r Sangsar” was a blockbuster, and my mother kept my name based on the protagonist of that film. Since then, I have been called Apu and then Apurbo. My family members usually address me as Apu.</span></div>
