LONDON， Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Costa on Tuesday announced the Costa Book Awards 2016 winners in the first novel， novel， biography， poetry and children's book categories.
The five winning authors who will now compete for the 2016 Costa Book of the Year are:
Francis Spufford， known for his prize-winning non-fiction， collects the Costa First Novel Award with his first work of fiction -- Golden Hill. It is a historical novel set in New York in the winter of 1746， which the judges called "captivating and dazzlingly original".
Irish novelist and playwright Sebastian Barry wins the Costa Novel Award for the second time for his seventh novel， Days Without End， which sets in the wars (Indian and Civil) of 1850s America.
Barry won the Costa Book of the Year in 2008 with his fourth novel， the bestselling The Secret Scripture.
Debut non-fiction writer， Keggie Carew， takes the Costa Biography Award for Dadland. Part-detective story， part-memoir， part-history， it tells of her race against time as her father， Tom Carew， slips into dementia to uncover the truth about his colourful life.
Multi-award-winning Devon-based poet Alice Oswald now adds the Costa Poetry Award to her repertoire for Falling Awake， a collection of poems which explore life's losing struggle with the gravity of nature which were written to be read aloud.
YA writer， Brian Conaghan -- who originally received 217 rejections before finding a publisher and an agent -- wins the Costa Children's Book Award with his third novel， The Bombs That Brought Us Together， the story of two friends， one shed， a war and a terrible choice.
"Five wonderful reads and something here for all readers' tastes -- just what the Costa Book Awards are all about，" said Dominic Paul， Managing Director of Costa.
The five Costa Book Award winners， each of whom will receive 5，000 pounds (6，120 U.S. dollars)， were selected from 596 entries， and are now eligible for the ultimate prize -- the 2016 Costa Book of the Year.
The winner， selected by a panel of judges chaired by Professor Kate Williams， and comprising authors and category judges， will be announced at an awards ceremony hosted by presenter and broadcaster Penny Smith at Quaglino's in central London on Jan. 31.
Since the introduction of the Book of the Year award in 1985， it has been won eleven times by a novel， five times by a first novel， six times by a biography， seven times by a collection of poetry and twice by a children's book.
The 2015 Costa Book of the Year was The Lie Tree by Francis Hardinge.
The winner of the Costa Short Story Award -- voted for by the general public and now in its fifth year -- will also be announced at the awards ceremony.
The Costa Book Awards is the only major UK book prize that is open solely to authors resident in the UK and Ireland.
Originally established in 1971 by Whitbread Plc， Costa announced its takeover of the sponsorship of the UK's most prestigious book prize in 2006. 2016 marks the 45th year of the Book Awards.
BERLIN， Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Dortmund eased 3-0 past fourth-division side Eintracht Trier meanwhile Hamburg craved out a 1-0 win over third-division club Zwickau at the end of the first round in German Cup on Monday.
Last year's finalist Borussia Dortmund scored three goals within 45 minutes.
The "BVB" smoothed the way for the win with eight minutes into the encounter as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's assist allowed Shinji Kagawa to break the deadlock from inside the box.
After the early setback Trier focused on their defence to keep Thomas Tuchel's men in the distance. However， the host's plan did not work out as Aubameyang rattled the woodwork before Kagawa doubled the lead following a square pass from Gonzalo Castro in the 33rd minute.
The visitors controlled the ball and the opponent， as Trier were unable to put up some resistance. Hence， Aubameyang crossed the ball into the area where Andre Schuerrle marked his first competitive goal for Dortmund to seal the deal ahead of time.
Dortmund remained in control of the proceedings after the restart， yet they failed to turn their chances into a tangible reward.
"I am very satisfied，" Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said. "We should have scored more goals in the second half but after all， it was our first competitive match of the season."
Elsewhere， Hamburg advanced into the second round with a tough battle on the road.
The "HSV" dominated the first half but unable to open the scoring against resilient Zwickau. Thus， the visitors had to wait until the 70th minute when substitute and summer signing Alen Halilovic finished a turnover after curling the winner from the edge of the box into the top left corner.
"We played good and deserved the win，" new arrival Halilovic said. "I am of course very happy about my first goal. I hope that more will follow soon."
The second round of the German Cup will be drawn on Friday. Enditem

BEIJING http://www.cheapnbasunsjerseys.com/josh-jackson/ , May 14 (Xinhua) -- For centuries, the ""Four Great Inventions of Ancient China"" -- namely compass, gunpowder, papermaking and printing -- have been celebrated as technologies that have made a significant contribution to world civilization.
Today, novel technologies have once again shortened the physical as well as cultural distance between different parts of the world.
In a video that went viral online recently, foreign students in China have redefined the ""four great inventions"" of modern age: bike-sharing services, e-commerce, high-speed trains and mobile payment systems.
While technically speaking, these are not purely Chinese inventions, there's no doubt that Chinese innovation has made these technologies even more important to a closely connected world.
For instance, buyers from Europe can easily purchase Chinese goods.
