MADRID cheap nike air max , March 17 (Xinhua) -- The last round of games in the Spanish BBVA Primera Liga before the forthcoming international break may just give Atletico Madrid the chance to claw back some points from FC Barcelona.

While Barcelona travel to play fourth placed Villarreal on Sunday in what is their toughest away game until the end of the season, Atletico travel to the north of Spain to face a Sporting Gijon in a crisis of results which has seen them plummet into the relegation zone.

Sporting have taken just three points from 24 possible nike air max 2017 wholesale , losing five of their last six games and now look set for a rapid return to the second division unless they can turn things around.

Their best hope on Saturday is that Atletico Madrid, who will be without injured defender Diego Godin cheap nike air max 2018 , are still feeling the effects of the 120 minutes effort they put in to knock PSV Eindhoven out of the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The round of matches kicks off on Friday night with Getafe, who last week dropped into the bottom three after suffering their eighth defeat in nine games nike air max 2018 wholesale , at home to Eibar. Failure to win would see Getafe coach Fran Escriba get the sack, while a win for Eibar would assure they are safe for another season.

Other games relevant to the relegation battle on Saturday see Granada at home to Rayo Vallecano nike air max 2018 elite wholesale , while Las Palmas travel to face Real Sociedad. Las Palmas coach Quique Setien will want to see his side continue trying to play the football that so nearly earned them a point at home to Real Madrid last weekend.

Levante also have a chance to build on last weekend's win at home to Valencia when they face a Deportivo la Coruna side that has so far failed to win in 2016.

Sunday sees several key matches: Espanyol entertain Athletic Club Bilbao, who could climb to within just three points of Villarreal if they are able to recover from Thursday night's Europa League tie in Valencia and claim a win.

Valencia meanwhile are at home to Celta Vigo in what promises to be another tricky game in Mestalla.

Villarreal have taken just one point from a possible nine to see what looked like a comfortable gap in fourth reduced to just five over fifth placed Sevilla and they need to take something from FC Barcelona.

Barca booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday and will have Gerard Pique back in the side for what is a key match nike air max typha wholesale , especially as the league leaders entertain Real Madrid after the Easter holidays.

Real Madrid entertain Sevilla, who may be fifth and pressuring Villarreal nike air max 2019 wholesale , but who have failed to win away from home all season.

Nevertheless Unai Emery's side will travel to Madrid thinking that if they can repeat the display which saw them beat Villarreal last weekend they have a chance of ending that run, despite being without the suspended Ever Banega.

Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was critical of his side last week and will be looking for an improvement on Sunday.

NAIROBI， March 24 (Xinhua) -- Tom Onsongo had a brilliant acting career before he was diagnosed with a debilitating strain of tuberculosis (TB) several years ago， but the 67-year-old father of four never gave up in his quest for a brighter future.

Three decades ago， Onsongo was a familiar face in Kenya's television screens where he was a central character in riveting dramas touching on contemporary themes of the day.

His battle with tuberculosis suffered a blow when clinicians diagnosed him with the HIV virus but thanks to strict adherence to medication， good diet and positive attitude， the veteran thespian is still in good form.

Speaking at an event to mark World TB day in Nairobi on Friday， Onsongo said his life's journey after being diagnosed with the bacterial disease has been marked by triumphs in the face of adversity.

"I have struggled with a lethal strain of TB whose treatment has been complicated by my HIV positive status. It has been a tough journey living with a disease that many people associate with bad omen，" said Onsongo.

His fervent advocacy for the right of HIV positive individuals to access quality treatment has been recognized by local and international benefactors.

Onsongo is among dozens of champions who have been enlisted by the Kenya's ministry of health to spearhead campaign against discrimination of people suffering from tuberculosis.

"Everyone has a right to live and enjoy privileges enshrined in the constitution irrespective of health status. I have not given up on life despite my HIV and TB co-infection，" Onsongo told health advocates.

He belongs to a swelling rank of Kenyans who are grappling with health， social and economic implications of living with tuberculosis.

Statistics from the ministry of health indicates that 83，000 new TB cases were detected in 2015 and the figure could spike against a backdrop of poor hygiene in urban slums and shrinking funding towards prevention and treatment interventions.

The first post-independence TB survey conducted in Kenya between 2015 to 2017 revealed that infections have almost doubled among high risk groups like men， slum dwellers， factory workers and pastoralists.

Nevertheless， indefatigable TB champions like Eliud Chichi have not succumbed to ravages linked to the disease， having lived with it for almost two decades.

Chichi was a celebrated deep sea diver in his younger days before he was diagnosed with multi-drug resistant TB in 2009.

"Sometimes in the mid 90s， I was diagnosed with TB and the issue was quite devastating at that time since I was very young. The initial treatment regimen worked but a few years later， the disease recurred with more intensity，" said Chichi.

His physician advised him to go for advanced screening when the symptoms linked to TB like persistent coughing， fever and headaches became severe.
