Is Google Changing Search Forever?
Search engine marketers monitor the movements of Google like stock brokers monitor the Fed. As a result, when anything happens with the global search behemoth, people take notice. That’s why I was interested to detect a significant change on a search engine results page the other day, as the change could represent a seismic shift in the very nature of Google from purely content brokers to, essentially, simple content providers.
I refer to Google as a content ‘broker’ because, (at least up until now), Google’s singular focus as a search engine was to serve users the most relevant possible results. ‘Relevance’–writ large–is the coin of the realm over at Google, if my interactions are indicative. It’s the one thing they always return to; Google changes constantly, but their stated reasoning has to do with providing relevant results that satisfy a search.
Due to their unmatched success at this, (Google has now become–not unlike Xerox or Kleenex–a corporate entity so culturally dominant its name has become interchangeable with the product or service it provides; in the case of Google, including as a verb), millions of users allow Google to act as the middleman for virtually all of their interaction with the web. Google’s ability to present relevant content that answers peoples’ queries has enabled them to gain better than two-thirds of the total U.S. search market in 2014.
Is Google Stealing My Content?
…naturally, it gets my attention.
What you’re looking at is, basically, a blurb from an already-published piece of content, provided by a top-positioned website that Google finds to be both credible and authoritative on the subject. The excerpted section would answer a basic query at a high conceptual level, such as, ‘what are money market funds’…and just possibly end your curiosity right then and there.
While certainly being time- and labor-saving for a great many Google users in many and varied instances, (how many times have you simply wanted to know the number of Super Bowls the Miami Dolphins have played in, or how old is William Shatner?, etc.) the implications of this could be far-reaching in the digital marketplace.
So Who Gets It In the Neck?
Whenever Google changes their fabled search algorithm or tweaks how they present content, there are often losers. Usually these losers are the grey- and black-hat SEO types trying to cut corners and game the system for temporary advantage, (think keyword-stuffed articles or ubiquitous ‘Top 10 Whatevers’ posts). Sometimes, Google makes changes specifically to make those ‘bad actors’ into losers, as they’re trying to outsmart Google and hurt their users’ experiences.
However, this change isn’t merely to check the malefactors in the search world, but to fundamentally alter consumer behavior.
One area directly impacted will likely be the kinds of websites that exist to provide educational content–either for altruistic purposes (such as the donation-funded, ad-free Wikipedia), or in order to service search clientele that may eventually transact business after learning about a topic via proprietary blogs and websites that furnish them with educational or editorial content that satisfies curiosity, builds trust, and finally generates leads or sales.
Is Google Creating a Clickless Search?
These sites, in my calculus, stand to lose a large quantity of clicks by becoming, in many cases, second-class search citizens; losing out on people’s primary searches. After all, people are seeing the answer right there on the Google SERP; why would they need to waste their time and click anything else?
It’s a little like giving the milk away for free–why would users buy the cow with an extra click and waste of their time if Google can just answer them directly? Think of the paradigm inversion this creates — these sites were all competing to answer the term the user searched for, and Google just made that competition, to some degree, academic.
Strangely, in this new search model, the original content producers themselves become de facto middlemen, larding up the process merely by being there.
You might ask: but wait, doesn’t Google sell ad space through AdWords as a major revenue stream? Don’t they want, speaking reductively, more and more clicks, to display the viability of Google as a dynamic and potentially highly lucrative ad market businesses should pay to play in?
Google Now Optimizing for Advertisers?
Ironically, one potential reason for this experiment might actually be designed to appeal directly to those pay-per-click advertisers. I handle a number of PPC clients at Kaleidico and I can attest that it’s a daily battle to fend off a glut of unwanted clicks that drain budgets; users looking for purely academic reasons of research with no real intention of buying anything, now or in the near future.
With Google just answering those people themselves, user clicks on ads or content may be fewer, but may also be, more or less, pre-screened, increasingly monetized, and motivated to buy.
That prospect makes PPC guys like me wide-eyed with possibilities.
We live in a PPC World where a two-percent clickthrough rate is a triumph and conversion rates of 1-in-10 can be massive success. What happens when the market is reduced to fewer people with more inherent value to advertisers? By pre-screening this traffic–satisfying less lucrative searches and winnowing out “less serious” searchers, one could imagine an increase in the average cost-per-click (CPC) for desirable terms.
If Google Constricts Traffic, Who Benefits?
Well, not to be a cynic, but who is paid when an AdWords CPC goes up? Ah, as the plot thickens the clarity improves.
Now, before anyone starts panicking or even accusing me of belonging to the tinfoil hat crowd, I should point out: circled in green on that screenshot above is the word ‘feedback’ — so this is in a Beta stage and it’s possible I may be putting the cart before the horse. Google may simply be doing their typical mad scientists thing, experimenting with more and better ways to achieve perfect relevance.
The only problem is, those who used to provide the most relevance with the least monetary interest may feel the squeeze.
If this is the shape of things to come, PPC managers and content producers better have an adaptable strategy to live in a hugely changed world of search.

After a lot of touting and teasing, YU Televentures has finally unveiled their latest mid ranger the YU Yunicorn. It was tipped to be launched on 19th of May but the launch was rescheduled to 31st May instead. The YU Yunicorn is a mid-range phone which will give a direct competition to the the phones between 15K-20K. We have been playing with the new entrant from last week and here are the answers to some really important queries about the device.
Answer- The YU Yunicorn looks looks quite different compared to the previous phones from YU Televentures. Front has 2.5D curve glass and a fingerprint sensor at the bottom that looks exactly the same as Mezu m3 Note. The back is made up of metal with brushed finish and has slight curve on the sides. The top and bottom of the back is made up of plastic to place the antennae bands but they are finished like metal. There are two thin shiny stripes where the aluminum back is joint with the antennae bands, which looks good, and the back also has chamfered edges that make it look even more elegant.
It feels very solid and heavy in hand, and looks premium for sure. But the design looks borrowed from Meizu phones, specially the front and the camera at the back.
Question- Does the YU Yunicorn Have Dual SIM Slots?
Answer- Yes, it has a Hybrid dual SIM slot and supports nano SIM.
Question- Does the YU Yunicorn Have microSD Expansion option?
Answer- Yes, you can insert a micro SD card up to 128GB in the SIM 2 slot.
Question- Does YU Yunicorn Have Display Glass Protection?
Answer- It comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
Question- How is the Display of the YU Yunicorn?
Answer- The YU Yunicorn comes with a 5.5 inch Full HD (1920 X 1080 pixels) IPS display protected with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The display looks very subtle and clear. Colours were looking punchy and the sharpness is also perfect. Viewing angles are good but the glass is a bit reflective under bright day light.
Question- Does YU Yunicorn Support Adaptive Brightness?
Answer- It comes with the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with the YU AOS on top.
Answer- Yes, it has a fingerprint sensor and it is baked in the home button, and it is very quick.
Question- Can Apps be moved to SD card on YU Yunicorn?
Answer- It does not have any bloatware pre loaded.

Question- How much RAM was available at user end after first boot?
Answer- 2.9 GB of RAM was free when we switched on the device for the first time.
Question- How good is The Camera Quality of the YU Yunicorn?
Answer- It comes with a 13 MP camera on the back and 5 MP on the front. Primary camera performs decent in day light but as we moved to low light, it was literally suffering. It has stabilization issues, focus speed is below average and details were also not up to the mark. The front camera captures clear selfies in natural light, but it becomes difficult to get a clear selfie in artificial light. The camera is very shaky and camera UI is laggy.
Question- Can it record slow motion videos?
Answer- Yes it can record slow motion videos.
Question- Can we Play Full HD 1080p Videos on YU Yunicorn?
Question- How is Battery Backup on YU Yunicorn?

Answer– It will be available in Rush Gold, Graphite and Rush Silver coloured variants.
Question- Can we set the display colour temperature on YU Yunicorn?
Question- Is there any in-built power saver in the YU Yunicorn?

Question- Which Sensors are available on YU Yunicorn?
Answer- It has Gyroscope, Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Fingerprint sensor, Magnetometer, Gravity sensor and Accelerometer.
Question- What is the SAR Value of YU Yunicorn?
Answer- SAR value is still unknown.
Question- Does it has fast charging?
Answer- No it does not support fast charging.
Question- Does YU Yunicorn Have Heating Issues?
Question- Can YU Yunicorn be connected to a Bluetooth Headset?
YU Yunicorn is a really good device for someone who demands a lot of multitasking from their phones. It has everything that you can demand at this price point, but this deal could have been sweeter if the software was on point. It comes with almost stock Android Lollipop, and a very ordinary set of camera, but everything else is great for the price.

A government review of freedom of religion laws in Australia last month sparked outrage after it suggested that faith-based schools ought to have the right to turn away gay students and teachers.
This week on The Brief, Edwina Landale hears from Professor Margaret Thornton about Australia’s legal ambiguity when it comes to religion and discrimination. Topics discussed include what the proposed religious exemptions would involve, whether employment and educational discrimination should be treated differently, and how Australia’s secular-religious divide has changed over the last 20 years.

Sadly, news just arrived of Australian composer Phillip Houghton’s (1954-2017) passing this last October 1, 2017 (see: http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/article/phillip-houghton-1954-2017). This, not even a year after the untimely death of Roland Dyens (1955-2016) on October 29, 2016. Each composer contributed greatly to the guitar’s repertoire and here is an excerpt of their discography. May their music live through the international guitar community.
As mentioned in Sounboard (June 2017, Volume 43 No. 2 p. 16), Roland was the highest (then) living composer in the TOP 100 with his Tango en skaï. He was quite happy about this and asked me if he could tell, after reading the manuscript of GT 100 and accepting to endorse it.

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has clarified his position on the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit, which ended last Tuesday in Abuja.
A statement from Tinubu’s media office Wednesday cautioned one of the Yoruba leaders, Yinka Odumakin, against his utterances over Tinubu’s position, stating that Odumakin misunderstood the whole concept of the party leader’s position concerning the conflict resolution summit.
The statement read: “The only deserving response to Odumakin is that he needs a cure for his seeming selective comprehension.
“The range of short and long term options for an enduring peace in the incessant clashes between herders and farmers offered by Tinubu were suggestions for the consideration of the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit.
According to the statement, “It is not only some states in the South-west region that are affected but several states across the country. Why Odumakin has suddenly got hot under the collar may not be far-fetched. The usual frenzy and self-righteous mentality he portrays is on full display. Perhaps next time, he should read through the whole submission and caution himself from self-righteousness and displaying in full glare anarchical emotions.
Tinubu then added that government, in the short-term, must maintain reasonable and effective military and law enforcement presence in the affected areas, ThisDay writes.

You have heard time and again that eating whole grains is the healthy way to go. But why?
Amy Vong and Wong Hui Xin, dietitians at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, tells us exactly how whole grains are beneficial for our health.
How exactly do whole grains benefit a person?
Amy Vong: Current scientific evidence shows that consuming whole grains is linked to better health in many ways.
Firstly, whole grains help us feel fuller for a longer time. This increased sense of satiety helps us avoid overeating.
Secondly, the higher fibre content in whole grains slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, keeping your blood sugar level steady – which is especially important for warding off potential diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and stroke.
Thirdly, whole grains have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which helps digestion and metabolism, as well as reduces allergies.
Taken as a whole, the research points us towards including whole grains in a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
How significantly do whole grains lower health risks?
Amy Vong: When tracking groups of people over time or conducting surveys on people’s diets, researchers have found that people who eat a diet based on whole grains generally tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and better overall health.
If you are in the habit of eating whole grains, you have a significantly lower risk of contracting coronary heart disease – a risk lowered by 20 – 40%. The lowered risk of diabetes is similar at a 20 – 30% reduction.
People who consume the greatest amounts of whole grains, beyond experiencing the benefits above, also have a lower risk of developing some cancers.
What does the latest research on whole grains say?
Amy Vong: In general, we have been seeing an increase of evidence that bolsters older findings, and we understand better how a diet high in whole grains helps in general health.
Most of the evidence for whole grains comes from observational studies, where we have limited control over the participants’ other lifestyle aspects (which also impact their health) besides their diet.
However, there has been an increase of evidence for the benefits of whole grains from intervention studies (where tests resemble drug tests), which are generally more stringent than observational studies.
We are therefore now even more confident that whole grains are good for health.
Do some whole grains provide more benefits than others?
Wong Hui Xin: There are differences between types of whole grains, and each person will need differing amounts.
Grains, such as wheat, rice, oat, barley and rye, vary markedly in the types and amounts of phytochemicals they contain depending on their genetics and a variety of agro-climatic factors.
Whole grains are generally higher in the ‘good stuff’ – dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. They have similar macronutrient compositions, ie. energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat content.
However, different whole grains have different nutritional profiles.
Certain grains such as wheat, oat, barley and rye have higher fibre content (more than 10g of fibre per 100g). If your diet is low in fibre, you will want to eat more of these.
Research has also shown that beta glucan, found in oat and barley, is more effective in lowering blood lipids (fat) as compared to other grains. If you need to lose weight, replacing refined grains with oat and barley may help with the process.
On the other hand, corn has the highest phenolic acid content, followed by wheat, oat, and rice. The phenolic acid concentration of whole grains corresponds to their antioxidant capacity.
How much more beneficial is eating unprocessed whole grains (eg. oats) instead of processed whole grains (eg. wholemeal bread)?
Amy Vong: Whether it makes a big difference depends on each individual. As a rule, we should all be making healthier choices, but an underweight 17-year-old and an overweight 70-year-old will definitely have different priorities.
To make sense of how you should be adjusting your diet, we first need to understand the difference between unprocessed whole grains and processed whole grain foods.
On one end we have unprocessed whole grains which have the bran, endosperm, and germ intact.
On another end, we have refined grains, which have been stripped of the bran and germ.
Processed whole grain foods fall somewhere in the middle.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 defined ‘whole grain’ as any mixture of bran, endosperm and germ in the proportions as in an intact grain – but the grains can be, and usually are, processed so that the 3 parts are separated and ground before being incorporated into foods.
Moreover, for a food product to be considered ‘whole grain’, the FDA says it must contain at least 51% of whole grains by weight. Processed whole grain foods may therefore have lower fibre and nutrient and antioxidant levels compared to intact grains.
In practice, when you buy whole grain bread from the supermarket, that bread will have a whole other list of ingredients that are not whole grains. A whole grain bread made with plenty of sugar or sweetened dried fruit is going to have different effect on your body from, say, brown rice or oats.
At the supermarket, we should be choosing whole grain products that are higher in fibre. Also, remember that including a variety of whole grain foods in the diet is the best way to reap the different health benefits.
Whole grain food products: whole wheat flour, whole wheat bread, rolled oats / oatmeal, popcorn, rye bread, whole grain pasta, whole grain tortilla, whole grain breakfast cereals, whole grain snacks and baked goods (eg. crackers, bars, muffins, etc).
Are there certain groups of people who should pay more attention to eating whole grains?
Wong Hui Xin: Everyone should consume whole grains over refined grains to help reduce risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as for weight control and digestive health.
Besides eating a diet based on whole foods, we should also adopt a healthy lifestyle by engaging in physical activities for 150 minutes each week.
Whole grain foods may particularly benefit people with diabetes and overweight individuals.
For people with diabetes, eating whole grain foods helps to control blood sugar levels better due to the higher fibre content which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates.
For overweight individuals, eating whole grains helps to promote satiety, which helps reduce food consumption and overeating.
Even the fittest athletes can succumb to heart disease. Dr Leslie Tay, cardiologist, advises on reducing the risk of sudden cardiac arrest during sports.

you have heard time and again that eating whole grains is the healthy way to go. but why?
amy vong and wong hui xin, dietitians at mount elizabeth novena hospital, tells us exactly how whole grains are beneficial for our health.
how exactly do whole grains benefit a person?
amy vong: current scientific evidence shows that consuming whole grains is linked to better health in many ways.
firstly, whole grains help us feel fuller for a longer time. this increased sense of satiety helps us avoid overeating.
secondly, the higher fibre content in whole grains slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, keeping your blood sugar level steady – which is especially important for warding off potential diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and stroke.
thirdly, whole grains have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which helps digestion and metabolism, as well as reduces allergies.
taken as a whole, the research points us towards including whole grains in a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
how significantly do whole grains lower health risks?
amy vong: when tracking groups of people over time or conducting surveys on people’s diets, researchers have found that people who eat a diet based on whole grains generally tend to have a lower body mass index (bmi) and better overall health.
if you are in the habit of eating whole grains, you have a significantly lower risk of contracting coronary heart disease – a risk lowered by 20 – 40%. the lowered risk of diabetes is similar at a 20 – 30% reduction.
people who consume the greatest amounts of whole grains, beyond experiencing the benefits above, also have a lower risk of developing some cancers.
what does the latest research on whole grains say?
amy vong: in general, we have been seeing an increase of evidence that bolsters older findings, and we understand better how a diet high in whole grains helps in general health.
most of the evidence for whole grains comes from observational studies, where we have limited control over the participants’ other lifestyle aspects (which also impact their health) besides their diet.

Operation Tuna Salad is back!
What happens when we join forces with the Hunger Task Force of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Delaware County to make tuna salad for 150 people at a local homeless shelter? Operation Tuna Salad! From May through September/October, every second Friday evening of the month we gather with members of the Hunger Task Force to make and assemble tuna salad - LOTS of tuna salad. It's our way of giving back to the community that has given so much to us and to serve those in need. Everyone brings three pounds of cooked macaroni, chops veggies, opens giant cans of tuna and mayonnaise, and then mixes all the ingredients in colorful plastic tubs. The tuna salad is then bagged, and the bags are handed from person to person to be stored in the downstairs refrigerator. The next day the tuna salad is transported to the Life Center Shelter in Upper Darby for Saturday evening dinner.

We spoke previously on the management of privileged accounts and how important it is to keep them accountable. Privileged accounts are one of many different types of accounts that should fall under your organizations Account Management Program and another one to add to that would be service accounts.
What is a service account anyway? In basic terms, a service account is an account that a service on your computer uses to run under and access resources. This should not be a user’s personal account. While they may look the same, the separation of users from services is very important for both tracking and the ability to tighten down what an account can and cannot do. A service account could also be an account that is used for a scheduled task (sometimes referred to as a batch job account), or an account that is used in a script that is run outside of a specific user’s context. A scheduled task account should not be a personal user’s account for the same reasons that a service should not run under a personal user’s account.
You may ask what is so important about these? It seems like if it is not a user account, then how would it have access to my organization’s network? On the contrary, these accounts are a favorite target of many malicious actors because they are often implemented in such a way that they have a higher level of access than a user account. Historically, they also have not changed passwords as often (if ever) as user accounts.
Services are often installed under the built-in Local System account, which gives what are essentially local administrator privileges, so they are more predictable in how they will be able to be used if compromised. While local administrator privileges may seem somewhat harmless since they are not usually useable on other computers on your network, the local administrator privileges can end up granting access to domain username/password combinations and or lead to account changes that allow for easier connections to other parts of your network. As a result, both locking down a service account and following good password change and audit procedures is an important part of keeping your systems secure.
When it comes to the configuration and management of service accounts, there a few things listed below that can help.
Password Management – Some administrators like to set these accounts up with passwords that do not expire or use the same password for all the service accounts. Instead, there needs to be a strategy for managing these passwords and changing them on a regular basis, as well as using unique passwords.
Privilege Management – It is best practice to implement the principle of least privilege. Only provide the minimum necessary privileges to service accounts. If your service account must run with administrative privileges, deny that account access to all of the directories besides the one or two that it needs.
Naming – Consider names that are not completely obvious to the service, for example SQLService would be helpful to administrators, but it is more helpful to attackers. While obfuscation is not usually a recommendation to secure systems, in this case it may slow someone down enough to not want to try every account available.
Auditing – Logging and auditing of service accounts, and all accounts in any case, is very important to keep systems secure. Using an event log aggregator and looking for specific events can be helpful in discovering security problems and services that are not working correctly.
Locking down your service accounts should be a basic component of your hardening guide for all computers. While it requires more time to lock down a new service account to allow access only to what it needs, it is well worth the time spent. Defense-in-depth requires that you look at more than the perimeter, and service accounts are one major place where the in-depth strategy can serve you well.

in fact, data organizations often set reliability standards that their data must reach before publication. correction for correlation in the sample expected error in the mean of a for a sample of n data points with sample bias coefficient ρ. for example, the sample mean is the usual estimator of a population mean. similarly, if results from only female respondents are analyzed, the margin of error will be higher, assuming females are a subgroup of the population.
margin of error for finite populations when the population is small (say less than 1 million), or the sample size represents more than 5% of the population, the pollster should multiply later sections will present the standard error of other statistics, such as the standard error of a proportion, the standard error of the difference of two means, the standard error of as will be shown, the mean of all possible sample means is equal to the population mean. and we can use percentage error to estimate the possible error when measuring.

One of the best goalkeepers the game has seen and the sole custodian awarded the Ballon d'Or, Yashin claimed that trophy in 1963 after winning a sixth Soviet Top League title with his only club, Dinamo Moskva. Always dressed in black, he was imposing and extraordinarily agile. The UEFA European Championship contributed considerably to his legend and he was in especially brilliant form against Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia as the USSR lifted the inaugural title in 1960. He was greatly mourned, both inside and outside Russia, when he died in 1990.
Djurković excelled as a 22-year-old at the first UEFA European Championship, offering defensive solidity and attacking penetration at right-back. Although Yugoslavia missed out in France, he collected a gold medal at the Rome Olympics that September. Djurković played with Crvena zvezda before making a name for himself with St-Étienne, landing three French titles and the Coupe de France twice. He died tragically when mistakenly shot by a policeman in Sion, Switzerland, in June 1972 at the age of 36.
Captain of Czechoslovakia in 71 of the 75 internationals he played, Novák was leader of the talented team that finished third at the 1960 UEFA European Championship and runners-up at the 1962 FIFA World Cup. Especially strong in the air, he was a commanding presence on the domestic scene too, securing eight Czechoslovak titles with Dukla Praha. He won the championship with Dukla as a coach in 1982 and took charge of a number of Belgian clubs during the 1970s and 1980s as well as the Czech national side. He died in March 2011.
Netto helped his country to glory at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne and the first UEFA European Championship in France. An inspirational leader and exceptional footballer, he is probably best remembered for an extraordinary act of sportsmanship at the 1962 World Cup when he told the referee to disallow a goal against Uruguay in the group stage as the ball had entered the net from the wrong side. Netto's devotion to Spartak Moskva brought him five USSR championships and three domestic cups. He passed away in March 1999.
The first player from the former Communist Bloc to receive the Ballon d'Or, in 1962, Masopust was a midfield general of the highest order. The 1962 World Cup was his finest hour as he masterminded his team's run to the final against holders Brazil – where he opened the scoring only to end on the losing side after a 3-1 defeat. He notched ten goals in 63 outings for his country, despite often having to curb his attacking instincts. A serial champion with Dukla Praha, Masopust later coached the club and also took the national-team job during the mid-1980s. He died in June 2015.
A loyal servant to Torpedo Moskva, Ivanov twice picked up the Soviet title but was probably more renowned for his international exploits. He hit 26 goals in 59 games for the USSR, including four at the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where he was joint-leading scorer. He won the inaugural UEFA European Championship in 1960, registering twice in the 3-0 semi-final defeat of Czechoslovakia, and was again on form four years later as the USSR reached another final. He coached Torpedo four times, landing one league crown and two domestic cups. He died in November 2011.
A pacy right-winger, Metreveli made his mark on the 1960 UEFA European Championship – and Soviet Union football history – by scoring the equaliser in the final against Yugoslavia. It was his fourth goal in an international career that would last for another decade, earning him trips to the 1962, 1966 and 1970 World Cups. The Georgian played for Torpedo Moskva from 1956 to 1962, acquiring two championships and one Soviet Cup, before going home to join Dinamo Tbilisi. He passed away in January 1998 at the age of 61.
With 37 goals in 51 matches for Yugoslavia, Galić stands second in the country's all-time scoring charts, one behind 1950s icon Stjepan Bobek. Both were star strikers for Partizan, with Galić playing for the club in the 1966 European Champion Clubs' Cup final, yet it was in the blue, white and red of Yugoslavia that they established worldwide reputations. Galić was on target in every round of the 1960 UEFA European Championship and repeated the trick in claiming a gold medal at the Rome Olympics. He ended his career with spells at Standard Liège and Stade de Reims and died in September 2014.
The first player called up to the Soviet Union national team while representing a second division side (SKA Rostov-on-Don), Ponedelnik justified the selection by netting a hat-trick on his debut in a 7-1 thrashing of Poland in May 1960. A few weeks later he became the toast of the Soviet Union by heading in the winning extra-time goal in the UEFA European Championship final. Ponedelnik (which translates as Sunday) amassed a total of 20 goals in his 29 internationals before being forced into premature retirement at 29.
A maverick inside-forward whose showman skills made him a celebrity footballer in Yugoslavia through the 1950s and 1960s, Šekularac spent the bulk of his career with Belgrade giants Crvena zvezda (he is one of five individuals in their hall of fame) before exporting his talents to West Germany and Colombia. The 1960 UEFA European Championship proved a particular highlight for a player who made his debut at 18, though he also featured at the World Cups of 1958 and 1962. His popularity was such that he starred in the 1962 movie Šeki snima, pazi se.
Kostić did not get his name on the scoresheet at the 1960 UEFA European Championship finals but the predatory forward was responsible for getting Yugoslavia to France with three of their six strikes in the quarter-final against Portugal. He further enhanced his reputation with seven in five games at the Rome Olympics that year, including one in the final against Denmark. He was no less prolific with Crvena zvezda, for whom he remains the all-time leading marksman with 158 top-flight goals. He died in January 2011.
