What will Euro-4 change in Azerbaijan?
28 January 2014 [10:55] -
Azerbaijan has decided to apply Euro-4 ecological standard to improve its environment and public health.
Ramiz Hasanov, head of State Committee on Standardization, Meteorology and Patent said Baku has already bypassed Euro-3 ecological standard for imported vehicles and is now preparing to apply for Euro-4.
Around 100,000 cars were imported in Azerbaijan including over 50,000 of used cars. These figures stood at 64,000 and 27,000 respectively in 2011, he said.
This is a great figure which shows a big improvement in the environment and public health conditions, Hasanov stressed.
Moreover, the government is pondering on tightening administrative penalties for environmental polluters in connection with the introduction of the new standard.
Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy and State Building Ali Huseynli said the new standard will limit the import of the old cars in the country.
"Implementing the Euro-4 does not directly affect the contractual cost of cars, and there is no need to revise the mechanism of customs valuation of cars," chairman of the State Customs Committee Aydin Aliyev said.
Cars import restrictions
The State Customs Committee is ready to introduce ecological standard of Euro-4, Head of Main Department on Road Transport of the committee Ismail Huseynov said at a meeting with representatives of the management companies importing cars in the country.
"The State Committee will tighten its control over imported cars. All the preparatory measures have already been made and all the necessary equipment has been installed," he said.
A special center for issuing the new standard for the imported cars has been set up and procedures related to the issuance of these certificates have been conducted which included electronic circulation of documents. Thus, the certificate will be issued in 10 minutes, while in CIS countries it takes up to 20 days.
From April, only cars made after 2004 in the US, in 2005 in the EU countries, in 2006 in South Korea, in 2009 in Turkey, and in 2011 in China and Japan will be imported in Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, Russian cars must not short fall of the Euro-4 standard.
The new standard will affect both the quality of imported cars and cars produced in Azerbaijan. the Euro-4 standard will be also applied to cargo and trains.
"Moreover, the government plans to update the national cars park through buyout or compensation payment to stop using old cars that damage the ecological environment," Ramiz Hasanov said.
"The Standardization Committee will also prepare tougher standards for cars' security systems, which is necessary for safety of car drivers," Hasanov said.
He said gradual removal of these cars is made in order to improve the ecological condition and to protect the health of citizens.
New fuel opportunity
Hasanov said there are also opportunities for Azerbaijan's processing enterprises to ensure that the production of fuel comply with Euro-4 ecological standard in the future.
"Currently, the fuel produced in the country complies with Euro-3 standard and at present, jointly with relevant agencies the State Committee is bracing for applying Euro-4 standard to fuel," Hasanov said.
The Azerbaijan State Oil Company SOCAR is considering the production of fuel complying with the standard of Euro-5 at a new complex for oil and gas processing and petrochemical production.

This situation you been in? This has happened to me in a few cases. I bought region 1 DVD of Star Kid recently because I thought it would never come out here in the UK after all that time. Then, I get the news that it is (first hinted this on the BBFC website). So, maybe I would probably buy it and keep the region 1 case (the region 2 case looks just like the VHS release here).

I can beat that. Over the last 10 years I bought 400 or so DVD's and then wouldn't you know it, last year they go and start releasing the same stuff on HD. I've only just barely got shut of my VHS and now this. Unbelievable.

WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush has made no decision yet on whether to ask Congress to release the second half of the $700 billion of funds it approved to stabilize U.S. financial institutions, but it will likely be needed by February, the White House said on Monday.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson called on Friday for Congress to release the second $350 billion of the Troubled Asset Relief Funds after Bush announced a decision to use some of the money as emergency loans to ailing U.S. automakers.
The first $350 billion was virtually exhausted before Bush announced the decision to loan $17.4 billion to carmakers in an effort to stave off a collapse that would have cost hundreds of thousands of jobs.
"I think that it's clear from the auto loan announcement on Friday that additional funds for TARP (Trouble Assets Relief Program) will be needed as early as February," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "And so it's possible that we could be the ones to ask for it and it's possible the next administration. But no decision has been made on that."
"The president will make a decision based on what the needs of the program are and what he's hearing from Secretary (Henry) Paulson and what they need going forward," he said.
Fratto declined to speculate on what might prompt the Bush administration to request the additional funds, rather than leaving that decision to the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama. He said the Treasury Department was monitoring markets to ensure they were functioning correctly and had adequate liquidity.
"If the Treasury secretary determined that he had an immediate need for it (the additional $350 billion), he wouldn't hesitate to come to the White House and ask the president to request that authority from Congress," Fratto said.
He said some funds for financial institutions had been committed but not yet released. "Certainly the funds for the American automakers have been committed. They haven't been released yet either," Fratto said.
Paulson's call for the release of additional funds on Friday was not a formal request.
Some members of Congress have said if the administration seeks the second half of the TARP funds, they will attach conditions to ensure that some of it is used as direct help for struggling homeowners rather than going to companies.

I would like to discuss the time system. its broken. games have clocks because there is supposed to be a finite amount of time in each game. but if you make your moves quickly enough you can gain back time, which is total [Removed -Mod]. i have lost many games because my opponent, whom was about to run out of time, suddenly is able to make back all of his lost seconds and prolong the game over and above what it is the stated length of the game. this needs to be changed because it prevents fundamental strategies in chess, namely to run out the opponents clock. seriously the moderators [Removed -Mod] this feature up badly and if they dont change it then that is proof that their not interested in making the game fair to all
[Sometimes people do not respond when abused. Someone please explain time controls and lag to the OP. Moderator of forum, not site designer.]
@OP: Please calm down. What you have described sounds like Fischer time. Gaining back seconds is an intended feature of Fischer time, and is not an indication that the clocks are broken. As the name suggests, this timing method was invented by GM Robert J. Fischer. This is a clocking method that is used on many chess sites, as well as in many chess programs such as Chessmaster.
This method is perfectly fair, as well, because you can accumulate time just as easily as your opponent. If you could not do this (while your opponent could), then that would be unfair.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Some iPhone 3GS units emitting high-pitched tone
A number of iPhone 3GS owners are reporting a high-pitched tone emanating from the device's speaker following the play of nearly any system sound. The issue, reported by Boy Genius Report and detailed further in an Apple discussion thread, appears to be triggered any time the phone makes a noise—such as when using the keyboard or locking/unlocking the phone. The noise may be inaudible to some users due to its high-pitched nature, which BGR estimates to be in the 15KHz range. It is currently unclear how widespread the issue is, and whether or not it can be fixed via a software update as opposed to a hardware replacement.

I have the tone, and it was also on my first one that I had replaced due to an occasionally unresponsive screen. It's barely audible so I doubt it will bother me enough to make an issue out of it.
Posted by Jordan on June 22, 2009 at 4:08 PM (CDT)
So the "S" in "3GS" apparently stands for "shriek", eh?
Pretty interesting issue, and hopefully one that isn't too widespread, but you've got to hand it to Apple/AT&T if this problem is the biggest one in the aftermath of the device's launch. Considering that the 3G's launch was botched, this is actually a good sign (and, yes, I know some people are having activation delays, but at least those experiencing the worst are getting a $30 iTunes card for the inconvenience).
My 3GS is set to arrive on Thursday. I'm hoping the only high-pitched noise emanating from it is Brian Johnson's voice after I use voice control to "Play songs by AC/DC." :)
Posted by Flippy Hambone on June 22, 2009 at 4:33 PM (CDT)
I hear the tone - it's faint, but definitely there and high-pitched. Guess I'll be heading to the Apple Store for a fix…

Posted by luhem on June 22, 2009 at 8:06 PM (CDT)
I just checked and mine has it. I can only hear it if my ear is within about 3 inches of the speaker. I would never have noticed if not for this article and I highly doubt this is going to be a big problem for any humans buying the iphone. To those who need their iPhones "fixed" from this problem: is this seriously something that is going to bother you? Seriously?
Posted by mattwd on June 22, 2009 at 10:42 PM (CDT)
The noise is picked up by the mic when recording video: that's why it's an issue.
Currently the solution is to put the phone into silent mode, or turn down the volume, before switching to video mode.
Posted by dean on June 23, 2009 at 8:48 AM (CDT)
Any word on if they're going to have a recall on this? Is the only current solution to go in and have it traded out?
Posted by Alex on June 23, 2009 at 6:13 PM (CDT)
the noise does not subside by turning down the volume or silencing the ringer. hopefully apple will become aware of this issue.
Posted by stacey on July 14, 2009 at 11:42 PM (CDT)
I'm getting that same high pitch sound on my 3G. Started last weekend out of nowhere so I hit the Apple Store today and they swapped it out. The replacement was dead silent. Got home and did a restore, now the high pitch us back… Assume that means it's a software issue?

Game Center is (finally!) coming to iPhones in iOS 4.1. It bears the new, greener look we saw back in July and, as Steve Jobs noted, has a heavy focus on multiplayer. Beyond playing games with friends, there are matchmaking and leaderboards across multiple games; it's more or less Steam for your phone.
Jobs says iOS 4.1 - and thusly, Game Center -- will be arriving "next week," though it won't be arriving on iPad until iOS 4.2 in November. We'll be getting our Canabalt scores as high as possible before next week.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
From Rwanda, the seeds of hope
Twenty years ago, the world reacted in slow-motion horror as ethnic rivalry between Rwanda's Hutu and Tutsi peoples erupted in genocide. More than 800,000 -- the vast majority Tutsis -- died in a Rhode Island-size country.
The UN Security Council apologized last week not only for failing to intervene and refusing to recognize the genocide, but also for withdrawing UN peacekeeping forces as the wanton slaughter was spreading. The lives lost can never be recovered, and the victims who survived can never be made whole. But the lessons for humanity are invaluable.
Rwandans' uninterrupted display of savagery defied explanation. Neighbour turned against neighbour. Even mixed Hutu-Tutsi family members turned against one another. Tutsi women were raped by the hundreds of thousands. HIV infections became rampant. Thousands of children from rape-induced pregnancies serve as constant reminders of their fathers' crimes.
The violence "completely devastated the nation," Ambassador Mathilde Mukantabana told us last week. About 70 members of her family were killed, including her mother and father, while she attended school abroad. She returned and joined thousands of others grappling with the challenge of reconciling, healing and rebuilding a tattered nation.
First and foremost, Mukantabana said, was to dispel all notions of revenge. Jail time was mandated for all who took steps outside the judiciary to exact revenge. Second, the country abolished the system in which national ID cards required people to declare themselves as either Hutu or Tutsi. There are no physical traits that distinguish a Hutu from a Tutsi with certainty, she said. But during the genocide, the ID card became a principal tool to mark Tutsis for death.
Other priorities focused on restoring trust in a central government that had been a major instigating force behind the genocide. Equally important was a program of national reconciliation that required prison time for those proved to have committed atrocities but that also urged aggrieved Rwandans to forgive.
Rwanda's reconciliation experience closely mirrors successful programs in other places ripped apart by civil war and ethnic or religious violence, such as South Africa, El Salvador and Northern Ireland.
All emphasized forgiveness. Why? Because, as Middle Eastern violence has demonstrated for decades, the cycle of violence cannot be stopped as long as blind revenge and retribution remain the motive guiding people's actions.
The world has much to learn from Rwanda, which today boasts high levels of government accountability and transparency, immaculately clean streets and a strong record of environmental stewardship. Rwanda has found peace, mainly because its people have come to grips with their past and reconciled.
If there's an uplifting message here, it's that we humans do seem capable of forgiveness even when the overwhelming urge is to seek revenge. There's hope for us yet.

A current-controlled linear MOS earthed resistor that requires only three transistors is realised by means of a new linearisation technique. A nonlinearity within ±1.5% full scale in the 0-4 V voltage range for a 5 V supply is experimentally achieved with discrete MOS devices. However, much higher linearity can be expected if the ratio of two transistor sizes are chosen exactly, according to the derivation. A floating resistor, derived from the earthed one, is also presented

It will be days for the German football fans to get over their hangover for sure, now it will be cherished for a while longer that feeling of accomplishment
Obviously pumpernickel_ will say that master race won. Good on him.
he will have good jokes to mock his Gauchos friends.
above all if he performs a little research about all the
over-cocky mocking songs that the argentinians were singing
(about their counting-down triumph in this world cup) against
all the other national teams, actually against all the other nations, using football as the excuse for that abusive chauvinism.
How dare you mock the Aryan Meisterrasse !!
Germany is indeed one of the most consensual, pacified and disciplined country in the EU. This in turn helps to explain its economic performances. The a-ideological approach of german politicians (notably of Mrs Merkel) is a great asset for a common sense country governance. The other asset is that of the federal organization of the state which limits excessive centralization and one-size-fits-all decisions. JGG
Germany keeps blackmailing Russia!
Since the foreign occupation germany
is nothing more than serving the interests of NATO.
despite being treated as north korea and al qaida by the 5
eyes, the anglo-saxon partners in the most massive spy
system of this world.
despite of it, the brainwashing and guilt propaganda produced the positive result of making them the most one of the peace-lover nations of the world.
the day they finally recover their sovereignty they will be able to be even more peaceful and neutral country as their swiss brothers.
Do you have a clue what you are talking about?
Germany is Europe's bridge to Russia, with very close working relations and an unhealthy (IMO) over-reliance on Russian gas.
Germany will deplore Russian aggression in Georgia, Ukraine, etc. but so would any democratic nation that believes in the rule of law.
Take a look at the photos of Merkel and Putin chatting in the Maracana; this is not a bad relationship. No one is blackmailing. It's just politics.
blackmailing russia??
what are you smoking?
A world class economy?
Germany has been having big deficits for a long time now, infact its debt/GDP ratio is very high.
Well, who knows? Maybe there's more to an economy than its debt/GDP ratio.
Germany is only good at providing jobs to it's masses as "Beamter", who with similar academic achievments, enterprise and IQ would be working at McDonalds, had they been born in Anglo Saxon Nations.
what a pathetic "human" bot,
we just dont know if he/she get a better salary than Snowden during the times he was equally working for CIA agenda multi-corporations.
trolling for the sake of the example of that country, which its wall street bankster mafia is degenerating it from a xix century great nation of opportunities to a new 3rd world-like country of indecent social inequality, absent socio-economic mobility, plagued by nepotism, cronyism, national economy hostage of the lobbies of giant inefficient companies, parasites of the taxpayers money etc etc
for your automated bot trolling the same written before is valid:
oh the envy.....
turns into green the little deplorable enviers
enviers is quite a synonym for sore losers.
go on hating and envying more is really a very successful way.
we are talking about football, frump! get lost.
hello emma, old fruitcake! still busy in anti-germanism?
we were talking football here, don't you get it?
and by the way: do you know an economy in europe doing better?
Miroslav Klose is the only player in the German squad who was also involved in the 2002 World Cup final. More importantly Klose is the first and only East German player to be on a winning German world cup football team, and now probably ever!
Klose was born in Poland, lived then in France and came as 8-year old to West-Germany (near Kaiserslautern). Toni Kroos is the only one from East-Germany (Greifswald). Jerome Boateng is from (West-)Berlin. I guess that there were also East-German born players in the teams of 54 and 74, as over many million East-Germans fled to the West after 1945. Klose not just broke many records in World Cups (goals, four participations in semi-finals) he is also one of the fairest players (prices in Germany and Italy).
As Germany is still under foreign rule up to 2099, e.g. no real peace treaty with Russia, USA, England and France, all the former Allies can claim to be Weltmeister!
yeah, yeah an' there are thousands of foreign troops occupying barracks on German territory. Oh wait, German mayors actually want these troops to stay as they are basically good paying but hardly noticeable tourists ? Well, somehow is doesn't feel so bad this "foreign rule" ..
I hope you're being sarcastic. Germany has been a free, 100% sovereign nation since 1991.
Think you and Hesse have misread Schumann's post. he used an historical fact (the absence of a peace treaty) to light-heartedly invite the victors of WWII to share in the cup glory.
No suggestion that he was complaining about a lack of freedom or about the presence of foreign troops, who are broadly very welcome.
Certainly nothing that warranted a Wikipedia search ;)
Okay. Thanks for clarifying that. Maybe I took it too literally, but for a minute I thought Schumann might have been a conspiracy theory nutcase.
Hey, I may yet be proved wrong....
As in France, the left-wing press cannot resist the temptation to attribute football victory to diversity. Of course, when four years ago the French team went on strike in the midst of the world cup, nobody ever (rightly) dared to blame the 'rainbow' character of the team which would have been exactly the same reasoning. German left-wingers should refrain from inserting race in the celebration because a subsequent failure might turn against them.
Is this a joke? Diversity increases the breadth of talent available to a coach and makes the team higher quality as a result. This is simple logic, to contest it is irrational.
Germany doesn't have left-wingers, they tend to play a 4-2-3-1 formation.
And once again, the right-wingers cannot resist the temptation to show us their stupidity.
Only that Germany is NOT a Rainbow Nation. Will never be. Germany is more like human resource page of a posh Bank. Smiling faces of well groomed coloured men and women. But the work force and power corridor is homogeneous.
LOL. Really? This is actually a highly debatable claim yet you declare it with such certitude. "Diversity increases the breadth of talent"? This is a borderline meaningless statement. Having a team that can do a lot of things does not necessarily make it better. Doing a few things well, or let's say the right things well, on the other hand, likely will. Your argument is like saying that because we have players who can do rainbows and bicycles and your players can only do bicycles therefore we're better. The right skills are needed, not necessarily the most skills, to balance a team and make it effective. You see this a lot with a hefty emphasis on speed and flair in many Anglo-sphere nations. Yet they have no one with vision or judgment. There is also absolutely no reason to believe there exists a correlation between having more colors and having more skills on a side. Similar to an economy in which every citizen does something different. Does this necessarily make it stronger or wealthier? No. Brazil is very diverse. Is it more affluent therefore than Finland, which isn't? More well-run? Africa is the most genetically diverse continent of all. It's also the poorest by far. Now, it may be the case that picking from a wider pool will increase the chances that the best player is chosen. But this has nothing at all to do with diversity, and everything to do instead with sheer numbers. On the other hand this breadth must be weighed against the lamentable but undeniable reality that in multicultural societies, with coaches having to pick players of varied and foreign ethnicities, but being of only one ethnicity themselves, and thus holding their own prejudices, such coaches may be more likely to lose objectivity and play the wrong players either by overcompensating for their own biases or through bias itself. Similarly, teams that are ethnically uniform are generally higher trust teams. Ethnic diversity almost invariably leads to lack of trust, team work, organization etc. the world over. See Putnam. This is widely understood by erudite people at this point. Ironically, the last three World Cup winning teams are quite remarkable in their lack of diversity. So, we can pretty much put that point to rest. Boateng and Khedira by the way are both only half non-German (their mothers were), and Ozil was pretty much non-existent throughout the tournament.
That's a bit of a generalisation, Stanley Matthews was articulate and intelligent.
"Germany doesn't have left-wingers, they tend to play a 4-2-3-1 formation."
The German coach is wiser than many politicians in recognizing that both Right and Left wingers are nuisances that adds nothing constructive :P
The point Omricon made was not that complex or controversial.
You have a diverse society, so your search for talent should extend beyond the white population that can trace its lineage back 15 generations; just like a workforce in any organisation should welcome women, gay people and people from ethnic minorities.
Sure, your company can succeed with a purely WASP make-up, but the law of averages states that the less restricted your hiring/search for talent, the better your odds.
1) It may not be complex or controversial but it's not necessarily true. I've conceded the claim that if one chooses from a larger sample size one is more likely to choose the right players, but this has nothing to do with diversity and everything to do with the simple math of choosing from a larger talent pool. His claim doesn't seem to be that a greater population size or pool is what makes a team strong. His claim is that having more diversity does. The problem is that there is no reason to believe this is true.
2) I've highlighted some of the problems with diverse groups, including infighting, lack of trust, organization, common interests, goals, views etc. There is not on an international scale (or even domestically) a significant positive correlation between diversity and success. In fact, there is in all likelihood, a moderate negative correlation between diversity and success (in nations that aren't exploiting the most impoverished nations of Asia for their best minds).
3) Universal equality is another unestablished premise in many of the claims of the diversity mongers. In other words, they assume firstly that the benefits of diversity (and its alleged concomitant skill increase) outweigh the costs associated with diverse groups like low trust and high levels of social discomfort. Moreover, they also assume that if we were to take two pools with unequal diversity to start with, and choose a far more diverse group from a far more diverse pool, because this group purportedly has a more diverse set of skills, this group will be more successful. This of course, is really the claim I take exception to. Unfortunately, ethnic diversity A, has not been connected to the skill diversity you've mentioned, and so such a group may very well still have a shortage of the required skills for any given team, even if more skills are indeed present in it and assumed, and B, greater diversity may very well lead to a shortage in the requisite skills in any particular game or competition if skills and abilities are not equally distributed across all ethnic groups. So, again, not complex or controversial but probably not true. If we assume equal abilities all around, ethnic diversity alone (rather than greater numbers) adds nothing to a team. If we assume unequal abilities, there's no real reason to believe that those unequal abilities favor the group of non-WASPs over the WASPs and probably decent reason to believe otherwise. Much as Google won't necessarily be more profitable if it increases its diversity by firing all the whites and Asians and replacing them with blacks. The right* skills are what make any team succeed.
You and Omicron and I are at cross purposes; you are challenging him literally (possibly a little pedantically) on his use of the word 'diversity' whereas I feel sure that he used it merely to signal that all members of a society should be invited in because a larger sample size is a good thing per se. Neither of us, I'm sure, believes in some contrived pursuit of diversity, e.g. national teams reflecting the % ethnic make-up of their populations.
But, while we are discussing diversity itself as a worthwhile goal or not, I will accept that homogeneous groups are often more harmonious and - to that extent - perhaps more efficient and 'aligned'. This is actually often a bad thing; besides the real dangers of 'group-think' in a context where there are no opinions that stem from fundamentally different backgrounds, it is obvious that a homogeneous group making/marketing products for/to a diverse population will likely get it wrong.
In footballing terms, there may be less downside from such uniformity (assuming the talent catchment was as broad as possible). But the reality on the pitch was that the German team demonstrated exceptional togetherness and camaraderie (the only evidence of any frustration I saw came from Schweinsteiger, who grew weary in the final of Howedes' unwillingness to overlap and make runs up the left; they are both of all-white, non-immigrant stock). Perhaps you believe that their cohesiveness and strength as a unit was achieved despite their diversity, not because of it?
I think more likely is the fact that the core of this team has played together for over a decade from youth level, they know each other well and know that every man is there on merit. As you say, the right skills are what make any team succeed. In the modern world, that demands diversity as our societies are diverse and we should find talent wherever it is. I also suspect the data on diversity being bad for team efficacy will come to change over time; we are only one generation into an experience of diverse teams (some industries remain largely women-free even today) and familiarity with diversity will likely remove many of the obstacles to good teamwork; in that regard, this German team is a great example of how a team will thrive when focusing on what unites them (their nationality and team bonding) rather than the small differences that may exist between them.
Well Done Germany. Germany and the German people are a great example for humanity. They are an industrious, decent, efficient, hard-working, prosperous people. They have risen from ashes like a phoenix. May they continue to prosper and triumph.
Prosper, yes. I'll hold back on triumph (even a little uber alles is too much).
Hear hear.
For Americans it never seems to be.
I won't debate the nature of the American hegemony here, as it's off topic. Google Robert Kagan New Republic to find an article that speaks to the pros and cons of Pax Americana and why we should hesitate before moving away from American hegemony, despite the many mistakes made by the hegemon. America's various disastrous adventures stand out in large part because of its restraint in using its military power, relative to the hegemons of the past. The German nation has shown itself capable of militarism and pacifism, but would it be capable of playing the role of active and powerful guarantor of peace and security in a free and open world? It's a difficult balance to keep. I'm more comfortable with German pacifism, and I think many Europeans are, too.
Just stopped an inch from "über alles" and Meister-rasse reference !!
Are you American? From that flag-weaving country which celebrates each and every triumph as its very "own"? The only land of the "free" and the home of the "brave" in this world? Those "brave" who lose their lives in unjust wars fought for the interests of plutocratic billionaires and those "free" who slave their lives away for $8/hr at WalMart and Taco Bell?
I remember 1966. If only they had goal-line technology then, this might be Germany's 5th World Cup win. Just saying!
Germany got its goal back in 2010 (courtsey of Frank Lampard), so stop complaining!
You clearly don't remember it that well, it was 4-2.
The false goal was on 3-2 - so it undeniably affected the game's ΄turn
That's football! Argentina only beat England 2-1 in '86 which included Maradona's "hand of God" goal. But his second goal was good enough to win any game. The best team won.
Don't worry. The 5th is on its way soon!
Looking at the bright side, I can think of no more appropriate location for the German team to get their 5th star than in Moscow :P
Good point, it'll be summer this time.
you seem to forget or ignore
that maradona and caniggia probably other players were intensive users of cocaine and other dopings.
is not entirely known what that cup would be if the most decisive player had been submitted to doping control,
is foolish that only some players are tested instead of all that have played in each game.
We won by 2 if I recall not 1
Too bad, SAP Labs was founded 6 years later.
An American win in moskau would be the funniest but a 5th star is my preference

Millennials have the power to influence brand in their hands

- Jared Nieuwenhuis
(Page 3 of 3)
— Be transparent, sincere and set clear expectations. Do what you say you're going to do. Then, do more than what is expected.
— Offer free stuff. This generation has grown up on free stuff and continues to love to get it.
— Add value. For example, our fans tend to collect Nancy Drew memorabilia. We provide a stage for them to show off their collections to other fans throughout the world.
— Don't get defensive. If you make a mistake, apologize. Don't deflect.
These tips apply to any company working with any generation. But they are even more important to companies targeting millennials because this generation not only has so much purchasing power, but is also incredibly adept at using social media to spread the word - both good and bad - and influence so many others.
JARED NIEUWENHUIS is marketing director for Bellevue-based video game company Her Interactive, which markets its non-violent games directly to players ages 10 and older. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A major earthquake of magnitude 7.5 struck off the coast of the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, triggering a tsunami warning in the area, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.
The quake, initially reported as a magnitude 7.7 was shallow, only 12.4 miles (35 km) below the seabed, and centred 73 miles (113 km) south of Kira Kira in the Solomon Islands, which have been racked by a series of strong quakes in recent days.
The Tsunami Warning Centre said it was not yet known whether a tsunami had actually been generated but a warning was in effect in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

Captain Blackthorn grimaced against the salt air that sandblasted his face. His men were weary, his ship was falling apart and the hold was replete with treasures beyond counting. It was time to head home and enjoy the bounty that years at sea had brought them. As he braced himself against the pressing squall he considered the conundrum of converting said bounty into a transferable asset that could easily be spent without arousing suspicion of the local militia or the jealousy of rival pirates. If only large amounts of wealth could be represented on something as light and unobtrusive as a piece of paper. But then Blackthorn had a idea:
"I know what we'll do! We'll bury it!…"
Just off the road a man lies dead, pierced through the heart from behind by an expertly thrown and ornate dagger which remains in the body. A long strip of cloth torn from the man's shirt has been tied around his neck; on the tag end an unknown hand has written a cryptic inscription: "For Djaygo."
When you get to the next town, everyone is talking about a mercenary woman found slain in exactly the same fashion in her room at the inn where she was staying.

Laid-off Staff of Bulgarian Burgas Shipyard Protest over Unpaid Wages
Over 60 workers made redundant by the Burgas shipyard staged a protest and a 15-minute road block on Sunday over unpaid salaries and compensations.
During the road block of the Ivan Vazov Street, near the city's railway station, only public busses were allowed to pass.
The protesters demanded that the new management of the company pay them the unpaid salaries and compensations, according to reports of the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).
The Burgas shipyard owes around BGN 4000-5000 in unpaid salaries to a total of 150 redundant workers.
The laid-off workers have registered with the local labor office and each of them has initiated a lawsuit over the unpaid salaries and compensations.
At 8 am on Monday, protesters are to meet with the new executive director of the company, Deyan Marinov to learn about the plans of the new management.
