From Rune of Gold to a Book of Building, the Starter Pass reward track has up to 5000 points for players to complete.</p><p>“Once a player upgrades to Town Hall 7, all unclaimed rewards are automatically collected. When claiming a resource reward if the player only has enough storage space for some of the reward they can now take whatever amount of the reward will fit and some gems. The amount of gems scales from a max 5 down to 1 based on what proportion of the resources were taken. E.g. if a player takes 20% of resources they will receive 4 gems (80% of 5).”</p><p>Other early game changes are being made to help Villages grow faster, with a series of reductions for various upgrade times and upgrade costs.</p><p>This will include the following upgrades:</p><p>Reduced Training Times</p><ul><li>Ice Golem: 360 seconds → 300 seconds</li><li>Witch: 360 seconds → 240 seconds</li><li>Super Witch: 1200 seconds → 800 seconds</li></ul><p>Wall cost reduction</p><ul><li>Level 12 Wall: 3M Gold/Elixir → 2M Gold/Elixir</li><li>Level 13 Wall: 5M Gold/Elixir → 4M Gold/Elixir</li></ul></div><div readability=”38″><p>Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, here is what will be unlocking with Town Hall 14:</p><p>Upgrading to Town Hall 14 unlocks</p><ul><li>25x Wall pieces</li><li>1x Air Bomb</li><li>1x Seeking Air Mine</li><li>1x Skeleton Trap</li><li>1x Bomb</li><li>1x Giant Bomb</li></ul><p>New Defense/Building/Trap Levels</p><ul><li>Level 12 Laboratory</li><li>Level 10 Clan Castle</li><li>Level 15 Gold Storage</li><li>Level 15 Elixir Storage</li><li>Level 9 Dark Elixir Storage</li><li>Level 20 Cannon</li><li>Level 13 Hidden Tesla</li><li>Level 9 Bomb Tower</li><li>Level 8 Inferno Tower</li><li>Level 5 Eagle Artillery</li><li>Level 3 Scattershot</li><li>Level 10 Bomb</li><li>Level 15 Wall</li></ul></div><div readability=”38″><p>New Hero Levels</p><ul><li>Barbarian King Level 80 → Iron Fist Level 16</li><li>Archer Queen Level 80 → Royal Cloak Level 16</li><li>Grand Warden Level 55 → Eternal Tome + Life Aura Level 11</li><li>Royal Champion Level 30 → Seeking Shield Level 6</li></ul><p>We don’t know exactly when this new Clash of Clans update is going to be available to download but with this news being shared now, we could see something announced between April 12 and 14.</p><p>More news is being shared later today, which could mean a big launch reveal for Clash of Clans fans.</p></div><p><strong><a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org”></a></strong> <a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org/acceptable.html”>(Why?)</a></p></description>

<description><div class=”jw-player-container”><h3 class=”jw-player-title”>Sandie Shaw performs on Eurovision in 1967</h3></div><div class=”text-description” readability=”39″><p>Not only was Sandie Shaw the first-ever British winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, when Puppet On A String topped the UK charts it made her the first British female singer ever to have three number one records. She was only 20 at the time and, shockingly, her manager was already regarding her as a pop has-been ready for a TV light entertainment makeover. The 1960s were a brutal time for teenage female singers. Two years later, Lulu would follow her down the Eurovision path at exactly the same age. No wonder they both have very mixed feelings about the Contest.</p></div><div class=”box two-related-articles clear”> <header><h3>Related articles</h3> </header></div><div class=”text-description” readability=”57.680672268908″><p>When she was 17, Sandra Ann Goodrich&nbsp;came second in a talent contest at the Ilford Palais in Essex and the prize was to appear at a London charity contest. Singer Adam Faith, already a huge star, was there and recommended her to his manager Eve Taylor, who repackaged her as Sandie Shaw and got her a record deal.</p><p>Her second single, a cover of (There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me,&nbsp;was a number one smash, followed by number three hit Girl Don’t Come and another number one, Long Live Love, in June 1965.&nbsp;</p><p>She also released music across Europe, singing in French, Italian, German and Spanish, which would come in handy a few years later.</p><p>Sandie was still only 18, but her gamine looks, trademark fringe, barefoot bohemia (actually the result of ‘inherited misshapen feet) and natural style made her an instant “It girl” and fashion icon.</p><p><strong>READ MORE:&nbsp;<a data-link-tracking=”InArticle|Link” href=”https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1418646/Freddie-Mercury-cat-names-how-many-Delilah-Oscar-Mary-Austin-home-Garden-Lodge-die” data-name=”Freddie Mercury cats: Incredible pics of last days in bed with Delilah” target=”_blank”>Freddie Mercury cats: Incredible last-ever picture of Queen star shows him in bed with Delilah</a></strong></p></div><div class=”photo changeSpace”><p class=”withoutCaption”><picture> <source type=”image/webp” srcset=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/page/preloaderbig.gif” data-srcset=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/Sandie-Shaw-then-and-now-1420722.webp?r=1617924471416″> <img class=”lazy” src=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/Sandie-Shaw-then-and-now-1420722.jpg?r=1617924471416″ alt=”Sandie Shaw then and now” width=”590″ height=”350″></picture><meta itemprop=”image” content=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/Sandie-Shaw-then-and-now-1420722.jpg?r=1617924471416″></p><span class=”newsCaption”>Sandie Shaw then and now <span class=”caption”>(Image: GETTY)</span></span></div><div class=”photo changeSpace”><p class=”withoutCaption”><picture> <source type=”image/webp” srcset=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/page/preloaderbig.gif” data-srcset=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/secondary/Sandie-Shaw-with-Adam-Faith-in-1964-2993398.webp?r=1617924471462″> <img class=”lazy” src=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/secondary/Sandie-Shaw-with-Adam-Faith-in-1964-2993398.jpg?r=1617924471462″ alt=”Sandie Shaw with Adam Faith in 1964″ title=”Sandie Shaw with Adam Faith in 1964″ width=”590″ height=”492″></picture></p><span class=”newsCaption”>Sandie Shaw with Adam Faith in 1964 <span class=”caption”>(Image: GETTY)</span></span></div><div class=”photo changeSpace”><p class=”withoutCaption”><picture> <source type=”image/webp” srcset=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/page/preloaderbig.gif” data-srcset=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/secondary/Sandie-Shaw-in-1965-aged-18-2993393.webp?r=1617924471531″> <img class=”lazy” src=”https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/secondary/Sandie-Shaw-in-1965-aged-18-2993393.jpg?r=1617924471531″ alt=”Sandie Shaw in 1965 aged 18″ title=”Sandie Shaw in 1965 aged 18″ width=”590″ height=”738″></picture></p><span class=”newsCaption”>Sandie Shaw in 1965 aged 18 <span class=”caption”>(Image: GETTY)</span></span></div><div class=”clear rma” readability=”15.432352941176″><div class=”text-description” readability=”53″><p>She was part of the trendsetting in-crowd in London and was horrified when Taylor brought up the subject of Eurovision.</p><p>Even in the 1960’s, Eurovision was regarded with wariness by serious musicians and Sandie had ambitions to write and produce, and to develop a more progressive sound.</p><p>However, her personal life had suddenly plunged her into notoriety and she was coerced into taking part.</p><p>In 1966, the teenager was named in the divorce proceedings of&nbsp;television executive Douglas Murdoch and his model wife Veronica Sands.&nbsp;</p><p>Murdoch produced the music show Ready Steady Go!
