Vietnam Lawyers demand removal of illegal Chinese oil rig
The Vietnam Lawyers Federation (VLF) on Sunday issued a statement opposing the illegal operation of China's oil rig
Vietnam Lawyers Federation demands removal of illegal Chinese oil rig
The Vietnam Lawyers Federation (VLF) on Sunday issued a statement opposing the illegal operation of China's oil rig HD 981 in Vietnamese waters and demanding that China withdraw the platform from the waters immediately.
The deployment of the oil rig has violated the Southeast Asian country's sovereignty and jurisdiction over the East Vietnam Sea, lawyer Nguyen Minh Tam, deputy general secretary of the VLF said in the statement.
The statement was released after an extraordinary meeting of the VLF's standing committee, during which the organization affirmed that it will provide the government with legal foundations and take part in actions aimed at protecting the country's sovereignty.
China has been infringing Vietnam's territorial sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the East Vietnam Sea, the VLF said.
It has seriously violated the basic principles of international public law and regulations in the 1982 United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea, unilaterally rejected its own commitments in the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Vietnam Sea, and gone against the consent between the high-ranking leaders of the two countries.
Its acts have not only harmed peace and security in the East Vietnam Sea but also posed a threat to the maritime security and safety of the international community in Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific, the VLF said.

This Halloween, be prepared to unleash fire and furry if you dress up as the famous Donald Trump chicken. Yesterday, a giant inflatable chicken with "presidential hair" showed up near the White House and the internet lost its mind trying to figure out what was happening. Of course, this is right after the president "flew the coop" on a vacation, so he wasn't around to pose with the chicken or talk about how it's the best chicken. Anyway, we thought this Donald Trump costume chicken was the perfect inspiration for a Halloween costume, so here's an easy way to get the look!
DIY Trump Chicken Costume
The Inspiration
As you can see, this chicken means business and is not to be reckoned with. The chicken was designed by Seattle artist Casey Latiolais and is owned by filmmaker Taran Singh Brar, who even secured a permit to have it set up south of the White House on the Ellipse. Though the inflatable stands about 30 feet tall, we think the wings are on the small side so it's a little tough to make out the hand gestures.
The Finished Look
"Trust me, I'm the best chicken."
"Trump Hair, Don't Care"
Look at that head of hair! You'll need to take caution if you go out on a windy day. With a DIY chicken costume like this, you'll be the top bird this Halloween! You're sure to get plenty of odd looks and laughs in this costume. Just remember, there will be people laughing with you and at you. Hopefully, your feathers don't get too ruffled that you do something irrational. Just stand tall and flap those wings and as you attempt to Make America Chicken Again! This is one Trump Halloween costume that is certain to make people smile.
Items Used
Chicken Costume Trump Wig
This is a Donald Trump Halloween costume that you'll have no problem pulling together. The main component you'll need is a chicken costume. We used our deluxe mascot version, but there are other options that will work as well. Additionally, you'll need a Donald Trump wig, or perhaps a few. We used 3 for this particular costume, which we pinned together and styled up nicely with a comb and hairspray. We also cut some hair off for eyebrows as a nice finishing touch. Once you have the hair in place, your costume is complete! If you do want to add a little more, you can always throw on a "Make America Great Again" hat because, who are we kidding, chicken makes everything great.
What do you think? Do you enjoy silly DIY Halloween costumes? Is Trump Chicken tough enough for you? There's still plenty of time to decide whether Trump Chicken is going to be part of your Halloween plans, unless something else comes along. Who knows? Maybe a giant dragon will show up on the White House lawn. Maybe Daenerys Targaryen will be riding it. Anyway, if you like Trump Chicken, you may want to check out some other political costumes for Halloween.

Key Highlights
- ADA price is forming a major support base near the $0.3100 level against the US Dollar (tethered).
- The ADA/USD pair is currently moving above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $0.3630 on the hourly chart (data feed via Bittrex).
- The pair may gain upside momentum towards $0.4000 if the recent trend line break is true.
Cardano price is placed nicely in a positive zone against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. ADA/USD could gain upside momentum towards $0.4000 in the near term.
Cardano Price Trend
There were many tests recently of the $0.3000 support in ADA price against the US Dollar. However, sellers were not able to move the price below the $0.3000 support. It seems like a decent support base is forming around the $0.3000 and $0.3100 levels. As long as the price is above the $0.3000 level, it could rise in the near term. At present, the price is attempting to settle above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4380 high to $0.3100 swing low.
Moreover, the ADA/USD pair is currently moving above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $0.3630 on the hourly chart. If the pair succeeds in settling above $0.3700, there could be further upsides toward $0.4000. An intermediate resistance is around the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4380 high to $0.3100 swing low. Above the mentioned $0.4000, the price could even test the last swing high of $0.4380, which is a crucial resistance level.
The overall price action is positive above the $0.3000 support. Below $0.3000, the price could move into the bearish zone. On the upside, the price may struggle to gain substantial momentum above the $0.4000 level.
Hourly MACD – The MACD for ADA/USD is slightly gaining pace in the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI – The RSI for ADA/USD has just moved above the 50 level.
Major Support Level – $0.3000

Taoiseach Enda Kenny, T.D. opens the 60th Wexford Festival Opera
The first Festival of opera took place in Wexford in October 1951, and opened with a production of The Rose of Castile by one-time Wexford resident, Michael William Balfe. From that humble beginning Wexford Festival Opera has grown to be one of the premier and longest established cultural events in Ireland, and one of the very few with an internationally recognised and respected brand, being a firm fixture on the intercontinental Opera calendar, with the Festival performances now broadcast globally. The 60th Wexford Festival Opera, which features artists from 14 different countries performing in 52 separate performances and events, spanning 16 days, to an expected audience in excess of 20,000 ticketholders.
Opening the Festival, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said, "Wexford Festival Opera has gone from strength to strength and adds immensely to Ireland's reputation for culture and creativity. Our reputation as an island of artists and entrepreneurs is a source of goodwill and investment across the globe. There are so many good things that the arts deliver as well as being an important local employer.
Over the next 16 days, Wexford town will come to life with lunchtime recitals, evening cabarets, choral and orchestral concerts and performances of rare operas. I want to pay tribute to all those involved in bringing this magnificent festival to a wide audience, and to the many volunteers who give so much to make this festival so special."
David McLoughlin, Chief Executive of Wexford Festival Trust added, "Wexford Festival Opera could not have received a more significant national endorsement on its 60th opening night than to have the special anniversary festival officially opened by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny. His presence as guest of honour underlines the Festival's significant and enduring contribution to the cultural, economic and community life of the Nation generally, and Wexford in particular, with the Festival exemplifying the respect and recognition a community founded cultural event can garner globally."

Say what if you have software or hardware problem on your Windows 7 system but the more you explain, the audience just could not understand what you mean. The audience could be your IT guy, or your buddy, or your bf/gf/family who trying to help from other end but just could not understand your problem.
You can either make a video of it, but it might be too complicated for most of the people. And you need to find a software for that. So how?
Fear not, Windows 7 now come with a tool call "Problem Steps Recorder" (I call it PSR from now on).
So whenever you have a problem, launch the PSR. [Windows start button then type "PSR" in the "Search programs and files" box, next select psr.exe or "Record steps to reproduce a problem"]
When the tool appears (image showed above), click "Start Record". It might advise you to run it as administrator, just click okay to proceed. [use it in case you have problem recording program that run with administrator permission. Personally I haven't find any problem by not running with administrator. ]
Now start reproducing the problem you have. PSR will record each of the click you performed. You will notice there is a small red dot blink whenever you click.
Click "Stop Record" when you are done. It will ask where do you want to keep the zip file, select your path and file name and then click OK. The zip file actually contains the .mht file.
To review your .mht file, unzip it and double click it, your browser should be able to view the file. You can see the snapshot (print screen) of the clicks you performed. Click on the picture will bring up bigger picture.
There is a text box below that recorded additional details of the clicks.
PSR is very useful for training. If you have to show/train people on a software or task, you can use PSR to record the steps and share it to whoever that wanted to know. Ask the person to get back to you only if they still have question. If your PSR is detail enough, I think you can saved a lot of time from showing/train/explain the same thing to different person.

We can't deny the fact that cyber-bullying is becoming more and more of an issue, as new online platforms are being created. Simply put, bullies now can be bullies in a lot more places. Cyber-bullying can certainly be devastating and harmful to one's mental health as an effect, also the affects it has on a person's future. Many people suffer from psychological issues due to being bullied in person or through a virtual platform, but what I'm interested in is the cause of Cyber-bullying or bullying in general not the effects.
What makes a bully who he is? We all have thought about it. Why would a person go out of his way to cause misery and sadness to others? Well reasons do vary from person to another, but all of them have something in common which is problems. Yes, problems are what creates the bully, whether they are family, social or even mental problems. According to Dr.
Martyn Wild a cyber safety expert says" Cyber-bullying is poised to turn into the biggest online concern, already affecting up to 35% of all children." One more thing Cyber-bullies share is cowardness, they all hide behind a screen or a phone may it be a 20th century computer screen. It's the fact that they are anonymous and aren't physically involved is what makes them comfortable doing what they do.
It has been proven that family issues are one of the major causes of bullying, albeit face to face or cyber bullying.
For instance, problems within a household can affect the behavior of individuals in the outside world. To illustrate, a bad divorce could be a cause where the parents are not raising their children properly or not giving them the attention they need. Which might lead to the feeling of being unrecognized and cause need of attention. Moreover, abuse or suppression can feed a person plenty of negative feelings and cause them mental problems and resulting in an emotional discharge, that can be translated to hurting others physically or in an incorporeal manner through the media or online.
It is believed by many that the brain plays a role in this matter, whether it's through mental problems or fulfilling one's desires and satisfying one's ego. What I think is a cause too is superiority complex which is a disorder that makes a person insecure and anxious about their shortcomings and weaknesses, consequently harassing others to hide where they lack. Another related matter is "schadenfreude" which means according to Wikipedia "is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another." That alone is a problem that needs fixing and a solution of its own. Some might say these issues are related to social status and social relations, and that takes us to the next cause.
Establishing social relations in the real world or the social media might push people to bully others, be it to draw attention or to maintain popularity. Simply put, it is to hide a person's failure by pointing out other's failures and showing superiority over others, and that brings us back to the "superiority complex". A lot of the times it's just a simple feeling like envy, that alone could push some to harass and hinder said person's reputation, just to take them down and take away what they have from them.
To conclude, we can categorize the causes to two categories personal and social, and the latter could be divided to two parts. The first, family limited and the second, with society online or offline. Also, bullies are the result of conflict, whether it's mental or social, so let's not fight fire with fire by blaming it all on the bullies themselves. In the end, we can see that the bullies are not always the convicts, sometimes they are victims of life's bullying. We should broaden our view on matters such as this matter to see the whole picture and make a righteous and just judgement without discriminating any side.

Prime X299 Edition 30
The origin of ASUS Prime series motherboards date back to 1989 with the launch of ISA-386C, the first ASUS motherboard and a defining step along the path to becoming the world's leading motherboard brand. The Prime X299 Edition 30 motherboard honors this legacy of innovation and performance with a wealth of features and accessible tuning options designed to make building a cutting-edge system within everyone's reach.
Prime X299 Edition 30 supports the latest Intel® Core™ X-series high-end desktop processors, which feature high core counts to deliver tremendous performance for prosumers and content creators. The motherboard features a new flagship 16-stage power solution and enhanced cooling that enable the latest processors to achieve their full performance potential. Two M.2 slots with passive heat sinks enable ultrafast, unthrottled data transfers, and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports and accompanying DisplayPort inputs give content creators an easy way to connect chains of external storage and displays. Built-in 5G Aquantia Ethernet, Intel Gigabit LAN and Wi-Fi 6 ensure high-performance, lag-free wired and wireless networking.
Prime X299 Edition 30 also features a 2-inch LiveDash OLED that displays vital system stats, such as clock speeds, temperatures and voltages for easy performance monitoring. It can also display custom text and images for users who want to personalize their build. A second LiveDash display is included in the new Smart Control Console, an external module that connects via USB and comes with a stand that sits neatly on top of typical monitors. In addition to displaying system information, Smart Control Console offers convenient voice and hand-gesture control.
Prime Utopia
The Prime Utopia is an early prototype of the ASUS vision and aspirations for future high-end desktop motherboards. It's engineered with a range of cooling enhancements to unleash the full potential of next-gen high-core-count processors and high-performance system components and has a host of innovations that take customization and control to the next level.
One of the most salient features is the convention-breaking placement of PCIe slots at the back of the board for improved thermal management. The layout frees up prime estate on the front of the board for more expansion cards and M.2 drives, and enables heat from next-gen CPU, graphics cards, and M.2 drives to be optimally managed for throttle-free performance.
In addition to optimizing thermal zones for high-performance components, Prime Utopia also features integrated water cooling that helps dispel the heat generated when fueling high core count processors. Keeping the CPU cool with custom water-cooling loops is made easier by the introduction of the proprietary, patent-pending Hydra Cortex fan header. The Hydra Cortex header can be connected and control up to four fans individually, simplifying cable routing to water cooling radiators. ASUS is currently working with partners to develop fans that are compatible with this new technology.
Recognizing that many high-end-desktop users have different needs, Prime Utopia features an innovative modular rear I/O and offers a selection of modules for users to choose their preferred compliment of ports and connectivity. It also comes with a 7-inch full-color OLED panel with touch-control. The panel can be connected via cable or Wi-Fi, enabling flexible placement directly on the desktop for users to modify BIOS settings, control fan speeds, turn the system on or off, or monitor real-time system stats.
ZenScreen Touch (MB16AMT)
ASUS ZenScreen™ Touch is a Full HD portable monitor that weighs just 900 grams, is 9mm thin and features a large 7800 mAh battery that lasts up to four hours, taking mobile productivity to new heights. Its responsive 10-point touch screen supports swipe, scroll, drag and pinch gestures for effortless and intuitive interactivity to help users get tasks done more efficiently. The IPS display also supports the innovative ZenScreen Touch app, which enables the display and control of apps from Android phones[3] for a large-screen productivity boost. In addition to providing a more comfortable view of any content, this large scale is perfect for tackling complex tasks, such as editing documents, photos, and videos, making it faster and easier to get them done while away from home or the office. It also comes with an optional overlay of Android menu buttons (Back, Home, Recent and Rotation) as virtual keys for a better mobile user experience.
ZenScreen Touch also features hybrid-signal USB Type-C and Type-A connectivity, which enables both the video signal and power to be supplied over a single cable, simplifying connectivity and providing a more streamlined and clutter-free usage experience. Along with micro-HDMI support, ZenScreen Touch can display content from a wide range of portable devices, such as laptops, smartphones, cameras, and video game consoles, providing an expansive view for the best work and entertainment experiences on the go.

Ever wonder why he does not appear to get everything you're saying? Ends up you are saying it incorrect. (Sorry!) These effortless recommendations could have you interacting in a whole brand new method.
One posted within the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology defines one thing scientists call the "closeness interaction bias." The analysis discovered that as soon as we keep in touch with our significant other we are in the same way inadequate at conveying our intention we have a much higher expectation that our partner will understand as we are when speaking to strangers, but. That is we live with knows us well enough to get our point without having all of the actual, necessary information because we figure the person. You'lln't presume that a random individual regarding the road could respond to you would expect that your partner could if you ask, "Is there a whatchamacallit bank around here?" but. Obviously, this event makes for a few major misfires that are conversational a marriage. Compounding the closeness interaction bias would be the fact that we subconsciously place our very own spin on every thing that is released of your partner's lips. It takes place within my house on a regular basis: i will be having a chat that is perfectly agreeable my better half and all sorts of of an abrupt we are fighting and I also have no clue why. At some point in just about any one of these simple spats, we started to a variation of the impasse:
Him: "No, you said offensive that is[insert accusatory type of above here]!"
Exactly what seems like a game that is bad of is in reality the fact of everyday activity. Natural sex distinctions can impede issue resolving and donate to conflict, explains Renay P. Cleary Bradley, Ph.D., whom carried out relationship research in the Gottman that is renowned Institute in Seattle. "Females are more inclined to talk about dilemmas and also to make needs, which males have a tendency to perceive as critique," she describes. (You casually point out of the knee-high lawn in your garden; he hears "And what exactly are you likely to do about this, you sluggish slob?") The remarkably simple key: It is all in your approach. Research through the Gottman Institute reveals that the means you begin a conversation will anticipate just how it will probably end an amazing 96 per cent of that time period. The secret, of course, is learning how to broach grievances while making needs in a way that is both productive and noncritical. Ends up this system isn't since difficult because it appears.
What you need: For him to make the effort and plan per night out That which you state: "Do you want to accomplish one thing Friday night?"What he hears: It is for you to decide whether we head out Friday evening or otherwise not.
What's happening: Females have a tendency to make inquiries in the place of making direct statements simply because they wouldn't like in the future off as controlling, explains William Doherty, Ph.D., a teacher within the division of household social technology at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul. The issue is that when your man hears a concern https://datingranking.net/muslima-review such as this, the idea bubble over his mind would read, "I'm sure there is a correct reply to this, but We have no clue exactly what it really is." Remember, he is perhaps not a mind audience. To him, you can just be using a poll: that is excited to head out on Friday? (Him: Not me, thanks!)
What things to understand for the next time: do not conceal a declaration or want inside a pretend concern. Decide to try, "I'd want to venture out on night friday. Exactly what you think?" If he is interested, ask "can you are thought by you might prepare one thing?" Certain, he is nevertheless liberated to say no, but at the very least he's got every one of the given information now.
What is taking place: Absolutes — constantly, never, any, all — do not work simply because they supply the other individual the chance to point down any exceptions. ("not the case. We heard you simply a week ago!") Plus, women can be usually accountable of sharing a couple of too many details that are excruciating adds Dr. Doherty. "My spouse might you will need to let me know an account concerning the mother-in-law associated with the cousin of a lady she knows through the gymnasium," he states. "When there is too information that is much to also result in the connections, some guy can lose interest."
Things to understand for the next occasion: "It is crucial that you have the ability to tell him, 'we absolutely need you to definitely pay attention,'?" states Dr. Bradley, whom adds that both ongoing parties should also keep an eye on their timing of these demands. "You've probably a scenario, as an example, in which you would you like to review your car-insurance policy and then he would like to view a casino game," she claims. If you take to to force him to truly have the undesirable conversation, you will both end up frustrated. The higher approach: "sooner or later this week-end we have to look at our auto insurance. Whenever's a time that is good one to accomplish that?" In the event that you suspect he is tuning down mid-conversation, Dr. Doherty implies a gracious check-in such as "Have we lost you?" This functions as a gentle, non-accusatory reminder which you'd like him to cover attention.

The Inverted Sheepdog
"I'm standing just outside the Barcelona dressing-room door at Wembley, about an hour after Manchester United have been defeated 3-1 in the 2011 Champions League final. The dancing, singing and beer-drinking in the Catalan dressing-room have only just died down. I've been charged with interviewing two of the winning players, with the trophy, for the final Champions League Weekly television programme of the season and there is a desperate need for a player to emerge from the fiesta. Getting them agree to the damn request is another thing again. …" The Blizzard (2012)
Introducing FlickForKicks – Table Football for a new (and old) generation Skip to entry content
"In 1946, Peter Adolph applied for a patent for a table football game that would go on to become the most recognisable across the world. We're talking about Subbuteo of course; the game that could be found in most football fanatics' households and which today is going through another renaissance, with fathers passing down their much loved sets to their children. There is, however, room in the market for a new type of bespoke table top soccer that draws its inspiration from Adolph's original creation. The company is called FlickForKicks and is the birth child of Gareth Christie, a self-confessed Subbuteo fanatic who has drawn inspiration from his love of the game to produce his highly acclaimed bespoke tables for both young and old. …" Football Pink
World Cup 2018: Hats off to debutants Panama, as England await
"In the protracted campaign for World Cup qualification, a little luck can go a long way. Panama are one of only two teams that will make their debuts in the finals this year – the other is Iceland – but unlike the men from the very margin of Europe, virtually nothing is known about the Central Americans. Which is partly because they haven't done a great deal in the past century. But they did knock out the Americans to get to Russia, albeit not without a touch of controversy and good fortune. …" Football Pink
Stadium row highlights the depressing state of Rio football
"The big news should have been the magnificent goal that Vinicius Junior scored for Flamengo in the Rio de Janeiro derby against Botafogo. Cutting in from the left onto his stronger right foot, he curled a superb shot into the far top corner, clinching a 3-1 win for his side. It was an indication of the quality of a 17-year-old who is already bound for Europe. Real Madrid caused a splash last year when they agreed to pay an astonishing 45 million Euros for such an unproven talent. Still with Flamengo, Vinicius is having to grow up in public. He is, understandably, very raw. …" World Soccer – Tim Vickery
Disjointed, vulnerable and slow: Barça exposed by Chelsea's tactical rigour
"The first leg, you suspect, went just as Antonio Conte would have wanted it to go – apart from the bit about not playing a square ball across your penalty area to Andrés Iniesta with 15 minutes of a Champions League match remaining. But that is the problem with great tactical plans: they always rely, ultimately, on that most fallible of species: humans. …" Guardian – Jonathan Wilson
The 'Two Worlds' of the Champions League Keep Drifting Apart
Sadio Mané and Liverpool put five goals past F.C. Porto last week.
"As he readied his players to face Manchester City in the last 16 of the Champions League last week, F.C. Basel Coach Raphaël Wicky realized he had a problem. Ordinarily, Wicky would dedicate one training session shortly before a game to a shadow match: On one side, his likely starting team, and on the other, 11 squad members slotted in to simulate Basel's forthcoming opponent. They would line up in the same system, adopt the same style, play in the same patterns. The aim of the exercise is to familiarize the first team with the challenge that lies in wait. …" NY Times
Great Goals That Weren't: Diego Maradona vs England (1980)
"Barry Davies said it best. Four minutes after Diego Maradona had broken the deadlock by punching the ball into England's net in the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup, the Argentinian genius collected possession in his own half, dribbled past five opponents (including goalkeeper Peter Shilton) and gave his country a 2-0 lead which would prove unassailable. …" The Set Pieces (Video)
FA Cup: Wigan win over Manchester City better than 2013 final – Kevin Kilbane
"Wigan's win over Manchester City was an amazing game to witness and it has to go down as one of the greatest FA Cup shocks of all time. When the Latics beat City in the 2013 final it was a big enough upset, but that was when they were a top-flight club, not in League One as they are now. Then you consider the level Pep Guardiola's side have been performing at all season, how far clear they are at the top of the Premier League, and that they were trying to do the Quadruple. …" BBC (Video)
Defensive Errors Analysis: Who Makes You Make Mistakes?
"Opta's defensive errors are a statistic which has been discussed with regards to Liverpool countless times over the years. Between 2012/13 and 2015/16, the Reds made between 29 and 42 every season, and were ranked either third or first every year for most errors in the Premier League. When's the parade, eh?

From there he was driven to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, then thrust out of the car, blinking into the Andalusian sun. …" The Set Pieces
From Marseille to Leeds United, what's the future for football's fallen giants?
Leeds take on Bayern Munich in the 1975 European Cup final
"'Give your blood!' demands a banner behind a goal. But on a chilly Mediterranean winter night, Olympique Marseille's Stade Velodrome (capacity: 67,000) is scarcely half-full for the game against Troyes. 'OM', as Marseille are popularly known, were European champions in 1993. (Their triumph was later tarnished when they were stripped of their French league title that year because of match-fixing, but few locals worry about that.) These days, though, OM have been left behind by their hated rivals, Qatari-funded Paris Saint-Germain. This month, while PSG meet Real Madrid in the Champions League, Marseille face little Braga of Portugal in the unglamorous Europa League. …" FT – Simon Kuper
Mourinho's Pogba problem deepens after Benítez overcomes his old foe
"The end was chaotic, Newcastle camped in their box with every block and clearance being roared to the rafters, but the tension of that final minute of injury time, and the similarly desperate scramble at around 80 minutes, should not allow the narrative to take hold that Manchester United were unlucky to lose. Rather they were desperately drab, short of inspiration, their forward line a strange bodge job of sparkly parts that do not really go together. …" Guardian – Jonathan Wilson
Graham Potter: 'I've shown there's another path for English managers'
"'It's a different kind of cold,' Graham Potter says as darkness spreads across Östersund and the temperature plummets to -20C. The inspirational manager of Östersund, who will reach the next stage of an incredible story when they host Arsenal in the first leg of their Europa League tie on Thursday, laughs when I say it's hard to believe. I've felt colder on a wet February afternoon in Birmingham, not far from his old home in Solihull, than I do in this small town in remote northern Sweden. …" Guardian

Gute Woche/ Schlechte Woche Matchday 22 Edition
"After the midweek DFB Pokal quarter-finals were decided, it was back to Bundesliga action this weekend with nine mouth-watering clashes to savour.

We had a triple-Doppelpack, more goalkeeping chaos, the return of a legend, soaring eagles and goals aplenty. So just who were the winners and losers of matchday 22? …" Bundesliga Fanatic
Haifa – A tale of two clubs
"It's a cold Saturday afternoon in the Northern Israel city of Haifa, a passing Mediterranean storm has just drenched those who were braving the elements with a stroll on the windswept boardwalk. The beachfront is deserted at this time of year, the cafes and restaurants that are alive during summer have the hatches well and truly battened down and save for a few surfers who are reveling in the rough conditions it is safe to assume that the city's population have stayed indoors thinking of the upcoming spring. …" backpagefootball
Tactical fouling is spoiling football – time for the rulemakers to stamp it out
"Football is often considered conservative with its rule changes, but in recent decades there have been various subtle but crucial alterations to the Laws of the Game, which are often overlooked. The back-pass law in the early 1990s, for example, forced goalkeepers and defenders to become more technically skilled, encouraging passing football. Stricter tackling laws, meanwhile, protected attackers from brutal challenges. …" ESPN – Michael Cox
St Étienne's unlikely band of misfits may keep them in Ligue 1
"Three months have passed since Lyon visited the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard and destroyed St Étienne 5-0, a mauling that will go down as one of the worst defeats in the club's 99-year history. Ôscar Garcia, who was only appointed manager in the summer but had clashed with the board over transfer targets, resigned soon after the defeat – and the man brought in to replace him, Julien Sablé, proved to be a disastrous appointment. …" Guardian
Ruben Bover, the Barnet midfielder who learned from Thierry Henry in MLS
"Not many footballers get the chance to play in three different countries, win multiple league titles and line up alongside World Cup and Champions League medalists before the age of 25, but Barnet's Ruben Bover is one of them. The Spanish midfielder has already played in his native country, England and the US, where he won several trophies and was able to call Raul and Thierry Henry his friends and teammates. Bover was born in the Balearics and came through Real Mallorca's academy when the club were knocking on the door of the UEFA Cup places in La Liga. Yet even as a teenager he was drawn to the English game and tantalised by the prospect of playing abroad. …" The Set Pieces
Aston Villa vs Birmingham City and the story of a football rivalry characterised by its glorious, gleeful pettiness

And indeed, if you have heard of him at all, it is for one of his two notable claims to fame. In the 103rd minute of the Auto Windscreens Shield final in April 1995, Tait scored a glancing header to win the game for Birmingham against Carlisle: the first ever golden goal scored at Wembley Stadium. …" Independent (Video)
Saudi Stars Arrive in Spain, With One Eye on Russia
"VILLAREAL, Spain — After the website had crashed, but before the falcon arrived, Salem al-Dawsari was introduced by his new club. Inside the Estadio de la Cerámica, the banana-yellow-skinned home of the Spanish team Villarreal, a few dozen journalists had arrived to view Dawsari, a midfielder who had become something of a curiosity in the Spanish news media. For one, Dawsari was among the first players from Saudi Arabia to sign for a team in La Liga, Spanish soccer's top league. But that was only part of the story. …" NY Times
The Resurrection of Nicklas Bendtner
"Whilst Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner has all but disappeared from our collective footballing consciousness in recent years, there was once a time in which the former Arsenal man could seemingly do no wrong in the eyes of the Emirates faithful.

Pochettino puts team before individuals in Tottenham's tenacious attack
"'It is an art in itself to compose a starting team,' the legendary pioneer of Total Football, Rinus Michels, once said.

Michels mastered the art and the process of building a great team rather than simply gathering great individuals. It remains the most fundamental test of managerial quality. …" ESPN – Michael Cox (Video), Spurs have done everything right: if they cannot succeed, who can? Guardian – Jonathan Wilson
Arsenal Is in Crisis, but a Signing Changes the Mood
"On Tuesday evening, Arsenal suffered another one of those indignities that tend to pockmark its seasons. This time, the humiliation came in the driving rain of South Wales and at the hands of Swansea City: facing a team at the bottom of the Premier League table, Arsenal dominated the game, monopolized possession and then went and lost anyway, 3-1. For Arsenal's fans, these defeats have become wearily familiar in the last decade or so, as Arsène Wenger's two-decade reign at the club has drifted into a sort of managed decline. They have turned Arsenal into a place hard-wired to treat every disappointment as an existential crisis. …" NY Times
'We weren't even allowed swap jerseys!' – when Shelbourne battled Barcelona at the Nou Camp
"A COFFIN STOOD stiff and isolated in the bowels of the Nou Camp as 11 Irishmen shuffled past in quiet disbelief. On their way through the famous corridors on a mild October evening en route to the away dressing room, the cohort of Shelbourne players passed by a museum, a dentist, a morgue and, puzzlingly, the most idyllic of chapels inside of which sat a wooden box. They were 1,300 miles away from Tolka Park, situated snug in-between endless rows of brick houses on Richmond Road in Drumcondra, but it felt so much more. This was a different planet altogether. …" the42
Geoff Cameron's Car-Pool Confessional
"STOKE-ON-TRENT, England — Rain predictably pelted the windshield on the nearly 40-mile journey down the dark motorway back to his home on the outskirts of Manchester, but Geoff Cameron wasn't about to let a soaking interrupt him. Not after all these years here. Even after playing a full 90 minutes for the second time in three days, and even after the most damaging league defeat in his six seasons as a Stoke City player, Cameron had plenty to say. Over the course of the next hour, after some expletive-laden venting in the wake of a costly 1-0 home loss to Newcastle United, he invited questions on a number of subjects: Stoke's increasingly dire predicament in the Premier League, his brush with political controversy last year and the challenges of life as an American abroad. …" NY Times
Racing to the bottom – RC Paris and the failed quest for glory
"Fast cars, fast planes and deadly weapons all led one French business magnate to football, and his dream of elevating a small club to the pinnacle of the sport, as MARK GODFREY explains. As egotistical multimillionaire French businessmen with an interest in sport go, Bernard Tapie pretty much broke the mould. The former owner of Olympique Marseille, famous for buying the club unprecedented glamour and success in the early nineties – including the 1993 Champions League – saw it all come crashing down around him after the match-fixing scandal which resulted in OM being relegated from Ligue 1 as punishment. …" Football Pink
Different Class: Football, fashion and funk – the story of Laurie Cunningham
"English football history is not short of players who never fulfilled their potential – but few careers were so starkly affected by the world around them as Laurie Cunningham's. Different Class opens with Enoch Powell's infamous 1968 'rivers of blood' speech decrying Commonwealth immigration – and you get much deeper political analysis than in most footballer biographies. Dermot Kavanagh, the sports picture editor at the Sunday Times, is even more interested in the north London fashion and music trends of the time – so there are eight pages dedicated to the 'Gatsby Look' (as modelled on the cover), and we learn the best place to buy speakers in late 1970s Islington. …" WSC, amazon

The many B vitamins are used in the body individually or in combination with enzymes to help release energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Vitamin B coenzymes are crucial to the metabolic pathways that generate the energy needed by every cell in the body. Because they are codependent in their metabolic activities, a deficiency of one B vitamin can affect optimal functioning of organ systems throughout the body.1

Chişinău to store garbage in Ţânţăreni. Government to strictly monitor how municipality obligations are drespected
foto: Publika.md
Today the Tănăţăreni platform will be reopened.
This agreement has been reached by both Chisinau and Tănăţăreni authorities. In this context, Prime Minister Pavel Filip enunciated the conditions met by municipality so as to extend the period of polygon operation.
"The Government will strictly monitor how the municipality's obligations are respected. I admire that the Tăţăreni Mayor came with necessarily concrete requirements and she fought to have this order in her locality. The Government's role was to help the City Hall so that we could identify the solution to the last month crisis in Chisinau. There were two complicated things considered: first, the way the garbage was handled in Bubuci and second, the fact that some politicians tried to provoke an even bigger crisis in the capital. They went to Zăngăreni, calling people to protests, unfortunately, we have political forces in Moldova that want to proceed citizens' troubles. You are building a political career on the troubles of others, especially when it comes to our own citizens. The vital unity, thereby, will not last very long", said the Prime Minister.
Likewise, he declared he would co-operate with the Capital Vice-mayor, the Ţânţăreni Mayor in order to reach a consensus as well as to solve out the problem. However, the municipality should fulfill the obligations strictly monitored by the Government.
"The commune will only gain benefit. Our Capital has undertaken several important actions for this locality. Accordingly, six million lei will be sent to resolve local problems, repair the dyke and wastewater treatment plant. Several infrastructure projects will also be financed such as street lights or Ţînţăreni road and garbage access. A bypass road will be built, a fence will be installed to prevent the waste from being taken by wind. Certainly, we have to work with the local kindergarten as well", said Pavel Filip.
Yesterday the Municipal Council approved the allocation of 39.3 lei ($2) for polygon modernization and compensation given to the Ţănăţăreni locals. The landfill was closed in 2010.

Risk Evaluation
There are two different approaches for the evaluation of tunnel risks.
Relative evaluation approach
Confirming that the required safety level is met by carrying out a relative comparison with a reference tunnel
For carrying out a relative risk evaluation by means of a relative comparison, the reference risk profile of a comparable reference tunnel has to be determined. The reference tunnel must completely fulfil the minimum safety requirements stipulated in the Austrian road tunnel safety law (STSG) and thus exhibit a tolerable risk level.
The minimum safety level is considered to be fulfilled, if the risk of the analysed tunnel corresponds to that of the reference tunnel or is lower. If the tunnel does not fulfil the minimum safety requirements according to STSG, additional risk mitigation measures are required.
Risk of the tunnel under investigation with special characteristics
Risk of the reference tunnel fulfilling the minimum safety requirements
Modified risk of the investigated tunnel (including risk reduction measures)
Safety Level
Absolute evaluation approach
Determining the standard-related level of equipment by assigning the tunnel to a risk class on the basis of the absolute risk value
In the absolute evaluation approach the analysed tunnel is assigned to one of four risk classes based on its expected risk value. The risk class determines which level of equipment has to be chosen.
Assessment of Measures
Additional measures are required if the minimum safety level cannot be reached. These can be measures relating to traffic, operation and construction as well as to tunnel equipment, including combinations of different measures.
The effectiveness of the chosen measures in minimising risk has to be evaluated in a quantitative manner by inserting them into the risk analysis model; measure combinations have to be inserted together into the risk analysis model (i.e. mutual influence of combined measures on their effectiveness). If individual measures cannot be evaluated in a quantitative manner, their effectiveness has to be represented in a qualitative manner. If the risk reference value is only slightly exceeded, a qualitative representation of the effectiveness of an appropriate measure can be taken as compensation.
Risk mitigation measures should be applied to the extent possible for those areas that have been identified by the risk analysis as being problematic (e.g. measures aimed at minimising the risk of fire). In choosing appropriate measures, cost-effectiveness according to the ALARP principle (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) can be taken into consideration (avoiding costs that are disproportionally high in relation to the achievable benefit).

Report of the NORA/Eurofuel event 2020 - Day 2
The National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) and the European Heating Oil Association (Eurofuel) hosted in August and September 2020 a virtual conference on liquid heating fuels in a carbon constrained world.
The full programme is available here.
Day 2 - Regulatory Session
Day 2 focused on the regulatory framework for oil heating systems and low carbon fuels.
Day 2: Welcome by John Huber, President of NORA, and Moritz Bellingen, President of Eurofuel
Nazzaro - Biofuels: Can they answer our market
Paul Nazzaro currently serves as the primary interface between the biofuels industry and the petroleum industry. He has been focused on bringing biodiesel into the heating oil market for nearly 20 years. Paul will highlight the challenges of working with a fuel with slightly different properties. He will address what steps need to be taken to handle biodiesel and the logistical changes that are occurring so it can enter the market.
Voets - Boundary Conditions: Restrictions in the EU
Changing from a petroleum system to a system fueled with liquid fuels is not as easy as turning a switch or changing suppliers. There are many regulatory hurdles that must be crossed prior to introducing a new fuel. Willem will describe the regulatory impediments now in place and the steps being taken to overcome them.
Trunzo - Biofuels for Heating: Which government policies will work
During the founding of the United States, the states were described as laboratories where different policies could be tried. As such, that is where most of the pollicies for carbon reduction reside. Michael will describe several of those major policies that are either enacted by the states or are under active consideration, and how the industry is responding to them.
Schäfer - Incentives for Low Carbon Fuels: Taxation & other tools in the EU
It is undisputed that low carbon fuels are needed to reach the ambitious climate targets. An important trigger to increase the market share of these fuels is law, which at the moment rather prevents an increased production and usage. Florian will describe the current policy framework on low carbon fuels in the European Union and present Eurofuel's recommendations for adapting the regulatory framework in order to create greater incentives for their production and usage.

Windows 10's upcoming updates are going to make the operating system work better with Android and iPhone devices. Microsoft will offer a number of connected experiences that will allow users to easily transfer their work between their smartphone and Windows 10 PC. But due to the lack of Microsoft's Edge browser on Android and iOS, that's getting increasingly harder for Microsoft.
Now, a new report from FrAndroid claims that Microsoft could be bringing Microsoft Edge to Android and iOS in the future. The company is currently planning on making Edge cross-platform, which will likely enable it to take the cross-device experiences in Windows 10 a small step forward. By bringing Microsoft Edge to Android and iOS, the company will finally let users of Edge in Windows 10 sync their bookmarks and browser history with their smartphone, and that's a really important feature for some. The browser would also have strong Bing integration, according to the report.
For now, take this with a grain of salt. We have reached out to Microsoft for an official statement on this, and we will update it with more info if we hear back.

Chairman, British Sri Lanka Chamber of Commerce, Jayampathi Perera urged the newly-elected government in Sri Lanka to give due priority to promoting trade opportunities between the two countries.
"Previous governments missed the bus and this resulted in the country losing out on the deal", he told The Sunday Island.
As a bilateral trade body, the British Sri Lanka Chamber of Commerce wants the new government to give prominence to international trade and foreign investment, he noted.
Perera said that since the elections, and especially with the UNP-led government in place, many UK-based businesses are looking seriously towards Sri Lanka as a viable trading partner. "I urge the government to give them credible support".
The time is now opportune for the government to give serious thought towards promoting Ceylon Tea to the world. Unfortunately, this aspect remained totally neglected over the past many years, he observed.
"Sri Lanka's tea exports to the UK, an European country with the highest tea consumption in the world, has dipped from over 60 million kilos per annum to 3 million kilos", Perera pointed out.
"How did we allow this to happen"?, he queried.
The new government should look into the possibility of rejoining the Tea Council of UK, he suggested.

Tacoma bridge is shaken by wind to destruction.
The footage of this event clearly took a long while to reach Britain, for although the issue date was 2 December 1940, the bridge collapse seen here had taken place on 7 November 1940.
The vibration and swinging of the bridge seen here is called "aeroelastic flutter". The swinging famously earned the bridge the nickname "Galloping Gertie".
Here's an original newspaper report about the collapse.........

Local coalition works to achieve safe opioid prescribing
In an effort to educate health care professionals about safe opioid prescriptions, public health officials, pharmacists, doctors and law enforcement officers have teamed up to increase patient safety by trying to curb over-prescription in Shasta County.
Members of the local coalition, titled NoRxAbuse, held its first public meeting at Shasta Community Health Center on Thursday night.
Ivan Petrzelka, president of NoRxAbuse and a former pharmacist, said the purpose of the coalition is to "prevent misuse of prescription drugs" without denying care to anybody.
"Drug overdose deaths have tripled since 1990 and are the most abused, fastest-growing cause of death in the U.S.," he said. And because these drugs come with a doctor's prescription, they're often perceived to be "safe," he said.
The coalition is funded by a $60,000 grant from California Health Care Foundation. Dr. Andrew Deckert, health officer at the Shasta County Department of Public Health, said the coalition will work to provide education — one-on-one to medical professionals — about lethal drug combinations between muscle relaxers, opiates and anti-anxiety medications.
"You put those together, you have a higher risk of overdose than those taken alone," he said.
Deckert also added the majority of opioid prescriptions are written for people age 55 and up, and the primary payment sources for these medications are with private insurance. "Today, it could be your mechanic, attorney, even your doctor," Deckert said about the demographics of people with opioid addiction.
Dr. Candy Stockton, medical director of Shingletown Medical Center, discussed pain management in family practice. She shared her story about prescribing opioids to a patient of hers who was healing from a back injury, but ended up needing additional medication for anxiety treatment.
"Like most doctors, I didn't have a lot of training in the safety of pain meds," she said. Her patient was able to eventually come off the medications, but it required a lot of work on Stockton's part. "The patients didn't get into this on their own," she said. "They didn't do it to themselves and they won't get out of this on their own."
The coalition will also launch a pilot project with the Shasta County District Attorney's Office to compare opioid-related charges to criminal charges, Deckert said.
By July 1, pharmacists and physicians who prescribe controlled substances will have to register to use a federal prescription drug-monitoring program. The Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System is a patient and medication database that shows which patients have double prescriptions or are "doctor shopping," Deckert said. According to data from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, in Shasta County, the number of opioid-related visits to the emergency room in 2013 was 474, and increased in 2014 to 854.
"Why here? Because we're prescribing a lot higher than the rest of the state," Deckert said.
Shasta County Undersheriff Eric Magrini said with the rising rate of opioid hospital visits, as first responders, they will soon train to carry the medication known as naloxone, known by its trade name of Narcan, which helps reverse opioid overdoses. On Jan. 27, the California Board of Pharmacy approved pharmacies to dispense the medication without a prescription.
"It's important people's pain is well-managed. But can you treat people's pain without opiates? The answer is, yes," Deckert said. He added that the longer a patient uses prescription pain medications, the more likely they were to have other health risks such as mood changes, disturbed sleep, fatigue, impaired breathing and hormone problems.
"We did this," Petrzelka said. "Every single pill that's on the street, somehow had to be prescribed."
The Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency encourages the public to safely dispose their medication and have hosted two "Drug Take Back" events every year since 2011, collecting 4,500 pounds of medication. They have four medication-disposal kiosks in various parts of the county — at the Redding Police Department, the Anderson Police Department, the Shasta County Sheriff's Office in Burney and the city of Shasta Lake sheriff's substation.

Cameroon now has a total of 246 coronavirus cases. According to official figures from the ministry of public health, the country has recorded 13 new cases, 6 deaths and 10 recoveries so far. Officials have insisted on basic hygiene as the most effective way to limit the fast spreading virus.
The director of the Bafoussam regional hospital has said social media information that a COVID 19 patient escaped from the hospital's isolation centre to an unknown destination is fake. The information had created panic among inhabitants of the West regional Chief town. In a communique, Dr Enow George said no COVID 19 patient carried the name Flavie Tchagam is in his health establishment, and went further to say six coronavirus cases were confirmed in Bafoussam, and are being treated in an isolation centre.
The doors of the Douala Central market, the Nkoulouloun Market, Marche des Femme and the Non Glacier market will be closed through out Thursday 2nd April 2020 for sensitization. This follows a decision of the mayor of the Douala II subdivision Denis Fampou who says the measure is in relay of the government's fight against COVID 19. The markets will be opened only for sanitation workers of the Douala II Council.
The Governor of the South West region has banned drinking and eating in public places or sales points. In an order signed in Buea April 1st 2020, Bernard Okalia Bilai says drinking in offlicences, snacks, night clubs and eating in restaurants are prohibited through out the region. He said those who wish to buy in drinking spots and restaurants, should take them home.
The Senior Divisional officer for Donga Mantung has called on the population to respect the measures taken by government to prevent the spread of the Corona virus or face the law. Dr Simon Nkwenti Ndoh was speaking to the population of Nkambe on a public square to square sensitization campaign.

He equally stressed on social distancing in the public and at home.
The Governor of the South West region has promised to arrest parents who are sending their children for commercial motives to the Streets or to the markets. Benard Okalia bilai made the decision Tuesday march 31st 2020, during a crisis meeting in his office.
Farmers and business persons in Loum in the Moungo Division of the Littoral region are furious over what they say is government's valorisation of imported products, to the detriment of locally made goods. They think that the policy of the government has made Cameroonians to be more vulnerable, amidst the Anglophone crisis and the COVID 19 pandemic. The impact according to the traders and famers is manifested in the low purchasing power of citizens.
Cameroon business magnet Baba Danpullo has donated the sum of 100 million Francs cfa to the government of Cameroon to fight against coronavirus. The money was handed over to the minister of public health today. Most Cameroonians continue to criticise the 1 billion anti coronavirus special solidarity fund saying it will do little or nothing in tackling the virus.
The circulation of fake chloroquine in Cameroon is on the rise. Some pharmacies in Douala and Yaounde are said to be selling fake chloroquine to Cameroonians who believe that that it cures coronavirus. Medical practitioners say chloroquine does to cure the virus.
Measures to tackle the spread of coronavirus are being kicked against in markets in Douala. At Mabanda market at Douala 4 municipality, traders say they no longer have a specific time table to carry out their business activities. For example, they say they were stopped from trading yesterday Monday by the council.
A pan-African infrastructure and logistics solutions company has donated an assortment of equipment to four African countries aimed at fighting the coronavirus. Arise, which is based in Libreville, Gabon donated 7m masks, 143,000 sets of protective clothing and 230,000 boxes of disinfectant gel to Ivory Coast, Benin, Togo and Mauritania.
Nigeria has begun handing out four months' worth of welfare payments upfront in three areas of the oil-rich country that have been placed into lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus. Beneficiaries of the social security scheme, introduced by President Muhammadu Buhari two years ago, usually receive a monthly payment of $13 (£10).
Algeria has become the latest country in Africa to release some of its prisoners in response to the coronavirus outbreak. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has pardoned close to 5,000 detainees who have 18 months or less to serve of their sentences. Ethiopia has also freed thousands from prisons.
The authorities in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, have banned swimming at the popular Lido beach in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus. Hotels and restaurants operating there have also been ordered to enforce hygiene measures to reduce the risk of the virus spreading.
South Africa's Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize has warned against a conspiracy theory that links coronavirus to 5G technology. Dr Mkhize in a tweet said: "5G is a technology issue and Covid is a virus. You cannot link the virus to technology."
The Kenyan government has approved the use of one of the oldest anti-malarial drugs to treat the coronavirus, according to Citizen TV. But it will only be given to critical patients, Health Director General Patrick Amoth is quoted as saying. Dr Amoth said at the moment there were no critical cases to warrant such an intervention. Most cases are mild and the authorities are treating the symptoms for now, he is quoted as saying.
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has apologised to the public after reports of police brutality as officers implemented a curfew to curb the spread of coronavirus. "I want to apologise to all Kenyans, maybe for some excesses which were conducted or happened," Mr Kenyatta said in a broadcast shared by Citizen TV.
Burundi and Sierra Leone, which were part of a handful of African countries yet to confirm cases of the coronavirus, have recorded their first positive results. There had been doubts over Burundi's claim that no-one in the country had coronavirus. The president's spokesperson said the nation was an exception because it put "God first". Health Minister Thadée Ndikumana announced on Tuesday that two nationals had tested positive for the virus after travelling from Rwanda and Dubai.
A group of wealthy creditor countries known as the Paris Club has agreed to cancel $1.4bn (£1.1bn) of debt owed by Somalia. The decision should enable the country to seek new sources of finance to help it recover from three decades of ongoing civil conflict.

Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Poland's all-American hero
A warrior for Enlightenment values is featured in memorials and place-names all around America. Perhaps some now-empty plinths could feature his statue
By A.V.
THIS summer, when the battle over honouring Confederate leaders was at its most fierce, the Polish embassy in Washington had an arresting solution. Echoing a local conservative radio host, it suggested renaming a Virginian highway—celebrating Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy—after Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish general and statesman. He remains a hero on both sides of the Atlantic, though not nearly as well known in America as he could be, and his spotless Enlightenment values still inspire today.
Kosciuszko was born in 1746, the son of a Polish-Lithuanian noble. He gobbled up liberal ideas from a young age: in his twenties, he travelled to France and was exposed to writers like Rousseau and Voltaire. But Kosciuszko's strongest jolt towards radicalism happened far from Poland. After the start of the American Revolution, he rushed to help the colonists. A skilled military engineer, he helped defend Saratoga from British attack, and designed the fortress at West Point. These talents soon won American admiration. Kosciuszko became a close friend of Thomas Jefferson, who described him as a "pure son of liberty".
After success in the New World, Kosciuszko moved to change things back home. He pushed for the emancipation of the Polish peasantry, and protected his country's new liberal constitution. But Poland's neighbours had other plans. Austria, Prussia and Russia conspired to partition the country, eventually annexing it completely in 1795. Kosciuszko tried to rally his countrymen into rebellion against Russia, but Poland was doomed. He died, exiled and exhausted, in 1817.
In his will, he ordered his American army pay be spent on freeing black slaves. Gestures like these, twinned with his romantic reputation as a musician, thrilled contemporaries. In 1823, local patriots built a looming monument to Kosciuszko near Krakow. Rajnold Suchodolski, a writer killed fighting the Russians in 1831, composed a song that imagined Kosciuszko looking down at him from heaven. Foreign radicals kept the general close, too. Coleridge and Keats both dedicated sonnets to Kosciuszko, while Lord Byron roared that he embodied the "sound that crashes in the tyrant's ear". Thomas Campbell, a Scottish poet, set up a literary association to help the cause of Polish freedom. When he died, dirt from Kosciuszko's grave was sprinkled on Campbell's coffin.
This radical legacy has flickered on into modern times. Jozef Pilsudski, Poland's leader in the 1920s, was explicitly compared to Kosciuszko for his self-sacrificing nationalism. Polish school textbooks still link the two men. Not that Kosciuszko is always remembered so earnestly. Polish enthusiasts have adapted Kosciuszko's adventures into "Mount and Blade", a videogame. A recent television sketch showed Kosciuszko cancel a patriotic meeting because a ski club had booked the venue first.
His mixed heritage also keeps Kosciuszko popular outside of Poland. His paternal family were Lithuanian; there is a street named after him in Vilnius. His birthplace, within the borders of modern Belarus, meant he was adopted there too. The memory of his campaign for freedom against Russia was useful for Belarusian nationalists eager to escape Soviet influence in the 1990s. At the same time, his international career ensures that Kosciuszko is still commemorated in the United States. Americans can visit Kosciusko (Mississippi), Kosciuszko County (Indiana) and Kosciuszko Island (in Alaska), or cross the Kosciusko Bridge (connecting Brooklyn and Queens). They can even eat Kosciuszko mustard. The old soldier is honoured across the Pacific, too. When a Polish explorer discovered Australia's highest peak in 1840, he decided to name it after his famous compatriot. "Although [I was] in a foreign country, I was amongst a free people, who appreciate freedom," he explained later. "I could not refrain from giving it the name of Mount Kosciuszko."
This year, the 200th anniversary of his death, has seen a whirlwind of new Kosciuszko celebrations. The Polish government has been especially enthusiastic, declaring 2017 the "Year of Kosciuszko" and encouraging fans to host commemorative parties. Elsewhere, Polish radio recorded a special Kosciuszko drama, while historians have published a barrage of new books on him. Foreigners have also used the chance to reflect on his liberal legacy. In Australia, several organisations have ganged together to offer a cash prize for the best Kosciuszko-themed poem or picture. The mania has even reached a Chicago concert hall, where pieces by Kosciuszko himself are taking pride of place (alongside Chopin, Poland's national composer).
If his fans are wallowing in Kosciuszko fever, there is still work to do. Poland's embassy in America recently published a new video on their hero, noting that some Americans still find his name "hard to pronounce." Fair enough: it hardly slides off American tongues like "Washington" or "Adams". Hopefully this year's festivities can help. Either way, it's a good sign that in America's splintered politics, the most controversial thing about Tadeusz Kosciuszko is how to say his name. Getting his statue on a few now-vacant plinths might be a good next step.

I typed those words into google about a million times while deciding where to spend a large chunk of plan-free time in June/July. The Yeti was heading home to surprise his family (and to drink microbrews, eat Mexican food, play basketball, and generally enjoy the US summer) and I was staying in India, and doing…. Well, I wasn't quite sure.
After moving guesthouses every few days, spending a fair few nights on trains, eating all our meals out, and sightseeing like mad for the past few months, I was pretty keen to just stop. To cook, to unpack my bags, to get to know a place, to devote some time to drawing, and to cook (believe me, it deserves two mentions). I'd stumbled across a blog or two written by people who had spent time near Palolem, Goa — it sounded like an ideal place to chill. Cheap accommodation, a handful of little bays and friendly people. The only problem? Monsoon season. The general internet consensus seems to be that Goa is monsoon is just not worth it. When the monsoon comes, people leave. The beach shacks are dismantled, the cafés almost all close, and the sunny skies and golden sand (ie. what the state is famous for) merge into an expanse of grey.
So, that's why I was asking the question. Now, having been in Palolem for just over 2 weeks, I think I'm ready to answer it. And the answer is, predictably, 'It depends.'
For me, right now, monsoon season Goa is perfect. It rains enough that I don't have to feel guilty for hiding inside and drawing*, rather than enjoying the beach. It's sunny for long enough that I can walk or bike for an hour or two a day. The streets are empty enough for me (a fraidy-cat with a pretty serious fear of riding anywhere near other vehicles) to ride my bike happily. The accommodation is ridiculously cheap and the whole state** turns a vibrant, almost neon green. See? Perfect.
For anyone who wants to stay a few days, sunbathe, drink of the beach, and meet other travelers, however, Palolem right now would suuuuck. Extra 'u's to emphasize suckiness. The 'beach' is almost always covered by trash-filled, muddy crashing waves. There are very few traveler, even fewer open restaurants and bars, and none of those rad little beach shacks the guide books talk about. It can feel a little like a ghost town and you will pretty mcuh always be wet (whether from sweat or rain) within 5 minutes of leaving your room. See? Suuuucky.
So, Goa during monsoon might not be everyone's ideal holiday destination, but don't write it off entirely. If you know what you're getting into and prepare yourself for some serious inside time, you might find that it's completely, entirely worth it.
*I have a (possibly stupid and probably unrealistic) plan to become a tattoo artist someday, so I'm devoting some time to reminding myself how to draw.
**(I assume — I can't really back it up, since my entire Goan experience has taken place in the same 50 square kilometres)
