Greens/EFA Proposals to end fraud in farm subsidies
On the occasion of the International Day Against Corruption, the Greens/EFA Group is publishing a series of recommendations on how to end the abuse of EU farm subsidies. Farm subsidies make up the biggest portion of EU spending and are an indispensable measure to protect European farmers, ensure food sovereignty, and promote healthy and sustainable food production in Europe. However, the lack of controls on the way EU funding is disbursed by European governments means that in some cases, unscrupulous politicians and people in positions of power are able to abuse the EU funding system for their own personal gain.

COP17 - 'No more delays, no more excuses'
Doha, COP18, day 10. Things are still progressing at snail's pace on the future Kyoto Protocol and on the two other LCA and ADP tracks. With only a day and a half left before the UN talks resume the Greens/EFA group urges the EU to stop procrastinating and show real leadership.
So much hot air about hot air
The 'hot air' issue has been under discussion for several years but yet the EU is still uncapable of agreeing on cancelling those surplus emission permits. The Greens/EFA urge EU members states to do this quickly in order for the EU to be able to play a leading role at the COP18 and ensure that this internal split does not derail what is currently the world's most important discussion.
From mitigation and adaptation to loss and damage
Day 9. COP18. Ministers and some heads of state have now arrived and the high-level segment of the conference has started. The Greens/EFA encourage the EU leaders to come with concrete action and clear financial pledges so Europe can show to the most vulnerable countries that it is serious about its promises.

From next Tuesday onwards, all eyes will be on high-level ministers who are slowly arriving in the Qatari capital. The Greens/EFA hope that much more positive announcements will be made in next 7 days and that this year again, the EU will be determined to have a constructive approach...

Apple's Swift Playgrounds Expands Coding to Robots, Drones, Musical Instruments
by Gary Ng – Thu, June 1, 2017
Apple has announced users of Swift Playgrounds for iPad, will soon be able to learn how to code for robots, drones and musical instruments. The company is working with device makers to allow Bluetooth-enabled robots to work within Swift Playgrounds, which will let students program and control devices such as LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, Sphero SPRK+, Parrot drones and more.
"More than 1 million kids and adults from around the world are already using Swift Playgrounds to learn the fundamentals of coding with Swift in a fun and interactive way," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. "Now they can instantly see the code they create and directly control their favourite robots, drones and instruments through Swift Playgrounds. It's an incredibly exciting and powerful way to learn."
The Swift Playgrounds 1.5 update for iPad will hit the App Store beginning Monday, June 5—the day of the WWDC17 keynote. Apple says over 1 million kids and adults are using Swift Playgrounds to learn how to code with Swift, the company's programming language for iOS apps. Swift Playgrounds for iPad was announced last year at WWDC.
This announcement, along with the earlier news of App Store developers having earned over $70 billion since 2008, appears to be part of Apple's pre-WWDC news releases, allocating more time for Monday's upcoming keynote towards other goodies, which could be in the form of new Macs, iPads and a 'Siri Speaker'.

HERDER, JOHANN GOTTFRIED VON:
By: Gotthard Deutsch, S. Mannheimer
German Protestant theologian, poet, and writer; born at Mohrungen, East Prussia, Aug. 25, 1744; died at Weimar Dec. 21, 1803. He studied theology, philosophy, and the humanities at the University of Königsberg, where he acquired a vast knowledge of German and foreign literature. In 1764-69 he was teacher and preacher at Riga; in 1771-76, court preacher and member of the consistory of Bückeburg; from 1776 until his death, court preacher and member, later president, of the consistory of Weimar. His works on Hebrew Biblical literature exercisedgreat influence. His "Die Aelteste Urkunde des Menschengeschlechts" (Riga, 1774-76) develops the idea that the oldest Biblical poems—the history of Creation, of the Flood, and of Moses—are to be considered Oriental national songs. The usual interpretation of the Mosaic history of Creation as a divine revelation appears to Herder not only indefensible, but pernicious, since it fills the mind with false ideas and leads to persecution of the physical scientist.
In 1778 he wrote "Lieder der Liebe," in which he divested the Canticles of all mystical and allegorical accretions. In these deeply felt love-songs he recognized the natural expressions of Jewish sentiment. After having, in his letters on theology, extended this view to the whole Bible, he published (Dessau, 1782-83) his famous "Vom Geiste der Ebräischen Poesie." In a letter to Hamann he wrote that "since his childhood he had nourished it in his breast." He says that Hebrew poetry is the world's oldest, simplest, and most soulful poetry, full of the inner feeling of nature and of the poetic consciousness of God. He translated many of the Hebrew poems.
According to Grätz ("Gesch." xi. 249), Herder, although filled with admiration for Jewish antiquity and for the Hebrew people of the Biblical age, and foretelling a time when Christian and Jew would work together for the development and refinement of civilization, felt a dislike for the Jews which manifested itself in his earlier relations with Moses Mendelssohn. Not until after Lessing's death did he become more friendly toward Mendelssohn.

Discussion in 'Football Forum' started by sun_tzu, Jan 7, 2018.
Kane has the potential to be the best of the lot but could do with a few trophies to help him along.
Kane has yet to win a single trophy and is still so young, seems unfair to put him in there at this point.
Owen at 4? He's an Anglo Chicharito.
I don't recall Hernandez winning European Player of the Year.
Kane was top scorer in Europe for the calendar year of 2017 beating everyone you mentioned and Messi and Ronaldo. It is hugely impressive.
Lineker has no business being above a few of those. Rooney is the best from that list.
Rooney was the best player out of those. Shearer the best striker. Kane is after them, I would think, though he's likely to get better.
Better than Owen, Fowler, Cole. I can't comment on the rest.
Rooney, Shearer, Kane top 3.
I think he's as good as any of them, and I think that speaks volumes. I think peak Rooney is above all of them (and just about everyone else in the last 30 years), but after that it's just a spread of fantastic strikers.
Keegan, no.1 for me he made every team he played for better.
Lineker, the best English finisher I've seen.
Shearer, I think his International career not as good as it should be.
Beardsley, the most underrated footballer.
Kane has a chance to be no1.
Thing is with Greaves is because he missed out on featuring in England's world cup win he just isn't in the public consciousness to a degree that his career suggests he should be.
No he isn't. When injuries got to him then yeah he turned into a poacher.
Put it this way, teenage Michael Owen was better than teenage Wayne Rooney.
If not for injuries taking away his pace, he could have gone on to be an all time great.
Teenage Owen was all that. He was leading the line for Liverpool and smashed it for England too.
Yeah but in a one horse league!
Keep in mind, I haven't seen much of Beardsley or Keegan.
I think it's unfair to judge a player on trophies won. Kane is the perfect example as to why. World class player but playing for a club that generally never win anything and are in competition with teams stronger and richer than them. It doesn't say anything about Kane as a player, IMO.
When rating players, stage and context does come into it, great players do lead their teams to trophies, and this is particularly true of forwards.
At this point, Kane has all the makings to be an English great, but he has to fecking win things to be up there!
All the other players in that list have trophies, that's what Kane has to do.
At the moment, all his goals have contributed to Daniel Levy getting CL money, and that's all. He needs to win trophies with Spuds or move to a team equipped to win things.
1) Shearer - the best English striker in the P.L - maybe only Henry has been better.
3) Keegan - a bit like Beardsley, a provider rather than a goalscorer - but at his best he was superb.
8) Cole - he had a good record at United, but never great. Only truly brilliant for a short while with Yorke.
9) Owen - a bit limited and to be quite honest, his career as a class-striker was over once he left Liverpool.
Hard to rate them in any order.
A controversial name not mentioned is Collymore, he had a decent goals ratio, as a person I didn't like him though.
Shearer has to be no.1, it's hard to think he's still so far ahead of the other strikers despite playing for some wee club in the North East. Great finisher.
He's had some good partnerships in his time too, like Sutton, Ferdinand, Sheringham.
Owen was good but got burnt out way too early. Same for Rooney.
Cole I still feel was under-rated slightly, he had more to him than just scoring goals. Should have had more England games.
Kane's definitely on the right track to get close to or beat some records, seems to be getting hattricks all the time.
Can't take any list seriously that doesn't have Shearer at #1. Best striker the league has ever seen.
Kane would've won the 2001 best player in Europe award, or whatever was it that Owen got. He was a fantastic talent but he scored as much goals in his two best, prime seasons combined, as Kane got in 2017. I know that doesn't paint a full picture but it makes for a tough argument to go against, I think.
Rush would be way above Fowler, but not on the list.
Right. Didn't read the title.
Shearer, Fowler, Rooney, Owen and Kane on peak form were the best of that group. Fowler and Owen were injured young and had very short careers at their peaks, Rooney started so young and couldn't keep himself in shape and Shearer kept scoring into his mid-30s.
Kind of have to see what track Kane's career takes from here before putting him into lists like this. We don't know if he'll get an Owen or Fowler career ending injury (or at least one that ends his peak form), if he'll go on the booze and random pub girls ala Rooney or if he'll pull a Shearer and play until he has no hair left.
Kane is the best all round striker as he can score from so many different situations and positions, only Rooney compares in this way though was never as prolific.
So many of the other strikers like Lineker and Shearer were great finishers yet were more orthodox strikers in a 4-4-2.
I agree that Kane historically might not be recognised if he does not win silverware which makes me think after a couple of seasons he might move on.
Comparing slightly different types of striker there - Keegan had a stronger all-round and back-to-goal game, Beardsley was a more creative second striker, and maybe pre-2009 Rooney - take those three out and you're left with a set of pure no9s.
Kane's credentials outside the Premier League are almost non-existent. He was honking at Euro 2016 and is still to put his mark in a major tournament in the way that Lineker (twice - 86 and 90), Shearer (96) and Owen (98 and 02) have done. Until he does something outside of domestic football, I don't think he can justify a spot ahead of that trio. Looking at the rest of the list though, Wright and Cole have a more sustained track record and have a solid European portfolio as well. But a case can be made that Kane is a more imposing, ruthless and rounded centre-forward than those two based on what we've seen to date. However, if he doesn't maintain his current form, his legacy wouldn't be any better than Robbie Fowler's for instance, who was similarly efficient in front of goal and burned brightly tearing up English football in his early 20s. Plenty of scope to move up that list because he has the potential for a Shearer-esque career, but at the moment he has to be down the bottom half until he proves himself at a higher level.
Top 10 of the ones I've seen personally play a few times at least, I can't put Jimmy Greaves etc in or else he'd probably be #1 easily.
1. Shearer - clinical AND consistent.
2. Linekar - Underrated by so many, but had everything a striker needs in abundance.
3. Fowler - at peak would be #1, just lacked consistency.
4. Owen - again, consistency/injuries stop him being further up.
5. Sheringham - with pace he'd have been true world class level.
6. Keegan - his talent transcended his diminutive stature, probably Englands answer to Best as world renowned "superstar" when footballers weren't so fashionable.
7. Kane - has everything, time will tell if he keeps it up and if so, he'll be a threat to Shearer.
8. Wright - Like Fowler, never really did it for England or he'd be higher. Top class player though.
9. Rooney - should be higher, despite his goal records. His woeful England record in tournaments puts him down here for me. That and I don't like the dude any place at all is a compliment.
10. Cole - another in the Wright/Fowler basket that never converted league form into internationals but lethal nonetheless.
A pair that could have got in possibly, Beardsley and Barnes, two of my all time favourite players but I think of them more as playmakers/winger/Ss - they'd both be in a all time England 11 for me though.
Leftfield addition. Peter Crouch. Was brilliant for England and I remember him fondly at Liverpool.
One that could have and should have been up there, Matt Le Tiss. Most gifted English forward I've ever seen, just didn't get the opportunity internationally he might have done had he played for a top side. I still watch his goal compilations every month or so now and can't think of any other player past or present that has such a portfolio of goal of the season contenders, not even Messi, Maradona, Ronaldinho or Ronaldo Lima.
Owen was much more than that. The Owen who played at the 1998 World Cup was incredible.

Siem Reap revel on new clay courts to lift Tonle Sap Cup

Hosts Siem Reap proved too strong for the visitors from Battambang in the annual inter-provincial tennis contest for the Tonle Sap Cup, a symbol of tennis supremacy in the Kingdom's northwest where Tennis Cambodia established its biggest regional centre nearly three years ago.
At the weekend, Siem Reap, boasting three national No1 players in three different age groups, dominated their rivals at the newly completed ICF Tennis Center, the new home regional home with four red clay courts, which form part of a sports hub created by Swiss-supported non-denominational church ICF.
Inspired by the idea, a Korean church has now completed two similar clay courts on the opposite side of the city, where coaching activities will soon begin.
Introduced three years ago, the Tonle Sap Cup brings the neighbouring provinces' tennis communities together. Matches were held in the Davis Cup format of two singles ties followed by a doubles match.
Siem Reap emerged victorious for the third year in a row, with a win that bolsters their confidence before the National Games begin in Phnom Penh later this month.
Zero tennis courts to six
At the start of 2018, Tennis Cambodia's northwest office had no courts available after its contract with the Angkor Palace Hotel ended.
As Australian coach Scott Windus, who heads the northwestern office, recalled: "On January 1, we had zero courts in the entire region. We needed to move fast and we called on ICF to help us out."
"We were able to negotiate a large patch of land to build four red clay courts with ICF, who had already developed a sports hub over the last three years that had a swimming pool, diving board, a ropes course, a covered basketball court, a soccer pitch and a brand new international standard beach volleyball court."
The courts were completed in late March in time for the Tonle Sap Cup to be the first major event held.
"I am pleased with the way the courts have turned out. The surface is firm and getting more solid as the hot season bakes them," Windus said.
"We still have about three months' worth of court beautification around the new facility, doing hedges, the paving, shade shelters and a creating a real lawn tennis court – which will be developed over the wet season."
"The Korean initiative is a bonus. It will make it six courts from nothing!"
