Best Multi-League Fantasy Football Game
Ligue 1 Fantasy Picks for the Weekend: Matchday 25
Posted on February 13, 2020 by David Bronstein
It's week 25 of the French league season, let's look ahead to the players that could make all the difference to your fantasy team this weekend in Ligue 1.
Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Steve Mandanda- Marseille
There is only one goalkeeper worth talking about and that is Steve Mandanda. He has kept 5 clean sheets in a row and Marseille will play Lille at the weekend. With 61 points Mandanda is ranked as the best goalkeeper currently in the league and he would cost 8.5m.
Defender: Pablo- Bordeaux
Bordeaux have kept 2 clean sheets from their last four games and Pablo has been good at the heart of defence. He has kept 6 clean sheets and even has 3 goals, so a good all round player and he could really be worth adding to your team.
Defender: Yunis Abdelhamid- Reims
Yunis Abdelhamid has been really impressive for Reims this season and the club will be at home to Rennes and determined to get back to winning ways. The defender has kept 10 clean sheets this season and also scored three goals.
Defender: Axel Disasi- Reims
Disasi has 46 points and like his teammate he has kept 10 clean sheets. What has been impressive with Reims this season has been how they do not concede many goals. For example at home the club have conceded 7 goals, only Lyon with 6 have shipped less.
Defender: Laurent Koscielney- Bordeaux
Koscielney has 22 point and has helped his club keep 6 clean sheets this season. Bordeaux have picked up on some form and are at home to Dijon where they will be looking to keep another clean sheet.
Midfielder: Houssem Aouar- Lyon
Aouar has helped with 7 clean sheets and been involved in 6 Lyon goals. He is the invisible player, that just gets the job done. Also Lyon will be looking to get back to winning ways and they could do just that being at home against Strasbourg.
Midfielder: Mehdi Abeid- Nantes
Mehdi Abeid has scored a goal and been involved in two assists, with the way he plays down the flank his club will be looking to him as they try and stop a 3 game losing streak. They will play Metz at the weekend have every chance of winning.
Midfielder: Xavier Chavalerin- Reims
Chavalerin has become one of the most important players for Reims and he has 22 points and scored one goal but also assisted in a further three. Reims are at home to Rennes and have the quality to shape that game if he is on form. He is valued at 6m.
Midfielder: Ibrahim Sangare- Toulouse
This is an interesting one as Toulouse have been so poor this season. But they will be at home to Nice, who have been a little under confident lately, and what do Toulouse have to lose now? Sangare is a risky choice to have a good game but is valued at just 5m and he could come good this weekend.
Striker: Andy Delort- Montpellier
Andy Delort is scoring goals again and could add to his tally this weekend as Montpellier take on Monaco who have a leaky defence. Delort has 9 goals and 3 assists so far.
Striker: Islam Slimani- Monaco
It was really important that Slimani found the net last weekend and that could give him the confidence to continue scoring goals for Monaco. He has scored 8 goals this season and assisted in another seven which has been really impressive.

PSG win 6 goal thriller against Lyon as brilliant Lille close in on 3rd place
A meeting between the two most successful sides in French football over the last 20 years was always going to garner the most attention and PSG and Lyon who have won 14 league titles between them in the last 17 league seasons didn't let anyone down.
The game in Paris ended 4-2 to the league champions and whilst Lyon played their part they simply could not handle just how good PSG were. Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe had seemingly wrapped up the game early on as PSG went in at half time 2-0 up. In the first half they had dominated possession and allowed no shots on target for the visitors.
The game was, in effect, over just a few minutes into the second half when PSG went 3-0 up courtesy of a bizarre own goal scored by Fernando Marcel. It was bizarre in the fact that it was such a good clinical goal- had it been a PSG player we would have been talking about it for some time. The player was obviously devastated and sunk to the ground in disbelief, he knew the game was over.
But then a miracle almost happened as Lyon's Martin Terrier and Moussa Dembele who has been so good for Lyon this season both scored in the space of 7 minutes and suddenly Lyon were back in the game it was 3-2 with half an hour still to play. But PSG showed quality as they took down the level of the game and controlled the pace. Finally with ten minutes to go Edinson Cavani scored for the home side to win the game 4-2 and it was an important redemption goal for the Uruguayan who has felt left out of the side and was so close to leaving in the January transfer window. PSG remain on top with 61 points and are 12 points clear of Marseille.
Marseille did win at the weekend but they were quite disappointing at home against the bottom side Toulouse winning just 1-0 through a Dimitri Payet goal, Payet is on great form lately but Marseille had just 3 shots on target against a club who have conceded 49 goals this season and more was expected of them. Nonetheless a win is a win and it was actually a decent weekend for Marseille because Rennes in 3rd place could only draw 0-0 at home to Brest.
Rennes have put unnecessary pressure on themselves now to claim a top 3 place, they have no wins in their last 2 games and only 1 victory in their last four. The pressure was maximised because Lille won their 3rd straight game in a row to move within one point of Rennes. Lille beat Angers 2-0 away from home and the club have started to improve on the road after a nightmare start, in form Victor Osimhen opened the scoring for Lille who eased to a win.
Montpellier are in 5th after a 1-0 win over Bordeaux as Andy Delort scored his 9th goal of the season. The win was even more impressive for Montpellier as they played a large section of the game with 10 men after Solomon Sambia was sent off.
Strasbourg's good form continued and they have now won 3 games from their last four to go into 6th place after they easily beat Reims 3-0, a direct rival for a European finish. The club got their revenge over Reims after the side had knocked them out of the Coupe de la Ligue at the quarter final stage with a penalty shoot out. Reims had zero shots on goal in the whole game and they have slipped to 10th place as a result.
Are Monaco recovering and starting to show what they can do under new coach Robert Moreno? Well the club did win their 2nd game in a row as they beat Amiens away from home 2-1. It was only Monaco's 3rd win on the road and a first for Moreno away from home. However Monaco were heading for defeat, with just a few minutes left of the game Amiens were winning 1-0. But Ligue 1 top goalscorer Wissam Ben Yedder struck for the equaliser and then Islam Slimani became the hero of the day scoring in injury time. Cesc Fabregas had only been on the pitch for 4 minutes as he came off of the bench to assist in the winning goal. That moves the club up to 7th place.
Bordeaux moved to 8th after they beat Metz 2-1 away from home and the club have now gone their last 4 matches unbeaten. Remi Oudin a new signing from Reims got the winner for Bordeaux with just five minutes remaining to start his career with his new club in memorable style.
There is just 3 points between 8th and 5th and so much to play for in the league regarding European places. Marseille have taken a large step in the right direction to qualify for the Champions League and now have an 8 point lead over Rennes in 3rd place. PSG look like they have won the league, but will the upcoming Champions League games distract the team, if so it is only Marseille who have the smallest of chances of catching them. Watch this space as the league hots up with just 14 games and 42 points left to play for.

Coupe de France round up: PSG squeeze through, Bordeaux shocked
Posted on January 21, 2020 by David Bronstein
The round of 32 in the France's main cup, the Coupe de France was the main focus this past weekend as Ligue 1 took a rest.
All eyes were on league champions PSG who had to travel to Lorient. Lorient are currently in 1st place in Ligue 2 and PSG of course top the standings in Ligue 1, so it made for an interesting match up. PSG coach Thomas Tuchel decided to have star players Kylian Mbappe and Neymar on the bench and he didn't use them. The game was a very tight one which in the end PSG won 1-0 through a Pablo Sarabia header with just 10 minutes to go to break Lorient's hearts. PSG will now face Pau FC in the last 16.
This will be a dream for Pau FC who are in the 3rd tier of French football, to be able to play against the mighty PSG for a chance in the quarter finals. It is everything Pau FC deserved after shocking another Ligue 1 team as they knocked out Bordeaux, winning 3-2 in what many have called one of the games of the round.
The match finished 2-2 and Pau FC won the game in extra time, there were 15,000 fans to see it and they have been drawn again at home to face PSG- put this in your calendars, the game takes place on January 29th.
Perhaps the game of the round though took place in Nantes where Lyon came to town and won an enthralling match 4-3. Lyon had found themselves 2-0 up in the first 10 minutes and at half time they were 3-1 up. Both teams revised their normal line ups but it was Lyon that showed more hunger in the end. Moussa Dembele who has arguably been one of Lyon's better players this season seemingly put the game away when he made it 4-1. But Nantes were not completely done and a comeback looked on the cards after goals from Louza and Simon one in the 83rd minute and then another three minutes later. It was a very nervous last five minutes as Nantes pushed for a fourth goal but they couldn't find it.
Elsewhere Strasbourg beat Angouleme 5-1 with Ludovic Ajorque getting on the score sheet once again though this was a penalty. Saint Etienne were involved in a very good game eventually beating Paris FC 3-2 away. Angers beat Rouen 4-1, Montpellier easily beat 5-0 with star striker Gaetan Laborde getting on the score sheet. Rennes won and Dijon put 5 goals past Nimes and Monaco squeezed through too.
Only the Bordeaux game was seen as a shock result, the last 16 games take place at the end of the month.

Top Ligue 1 Goalkeepers in 2018/19: Benoit Costil
Posted on July 10, 2019 by David Bronstein
Benoit Costil's career will always be remembered by his time at Rennes but since 2017 he has been guarding the goal of Bordeaux and this past season he had a decent campaign with Bordeaux finishing in the top half of the league and for him he finished 7th with 35 points.
During the season he kept 9 clean sheets which was impressive for the 32 year old and he ended up being the only goal keeper from the top 9 in Ligue 1 that was neither sent off or booked for the whole season.
Costil's went into last season with a value of 8m. While Bordeaux struggled at times, they did find enough form at one point in the season to think they could challenge for a Europa League finish but it quickly became evident that it couldn't be the case for this year.
Costil started the season with by earning -4 points in his opening two games as the club kept conceding goals. In fact it wouldn't get easier for him at the beginning of the season as in the next games Bordeaux beat Monaco but conceded with that match finishing 2-1 and the following game ended in a 2-0 loss to Rennes. The next match was a thriller but for Costil it did his points total no favours as Bordeaux drew 3-3 with Nimes. The next match ended in a 3-1 win over Guingamp but again Bordeaux had conceded. It meant that Costil did not earn any positive points until his 7th game of the season. But once he started he couldn't at least for a while stop.
The great run begun when Bordeaux beat Lille and Costil kept 3 clean sheets in a row to earn 21 points. While he would gain some more consistency it was this run which started at the end of September and ran until the first week of October that ended up being the goal keeper's best run of the season.
His single worst game points was against Nimes, Saint Etienne and Lyon were in those fixtures he earned -4 points on each occasion.
Costil ended the season much like he had begun it and earned no points in his last 6 games with a total points haul of -10.
This wasn't a great season for Costil, although in some games he was outstanding, but Bordeaux simply were not strong enough and it showed. Still Costil beat his total from the season before which was 31,and he will be hoping to improve in the points stakes and try to keep a few more clean sheets next season.

Top Ligue 1 Goalkeepers in 2018/19: Stephane Ruffier
Posted on June 25, 2019 by David Bronstein
Saint Etienne played some wonderful football this past season, so good in fact that some media compared them to the great side of the 1970s that somehow made a nation fall in love with them for a few years. In the end their hard work paid off and they qualified for the Europa League and goalkeeper Stephan Ruffier was a key component to the clubs success this season.
Ruffier collected 58 points and finished in 5th place in the European Fantasy League Ligue 1 rankings for goalkeepers. In fact only 4 points separated him from finishing in 3rd.
The 32 year old has been at Saint Etienne for 8 years and made almost 300 appearances for the club, making 37 starts from 38 in the league this past season. While the club did concede 40 goals under Ruffier he also made 13 clean sheets the 4th best in the league. Disciplinary was good too with just one yellow card all season and his value going into the season was 7.5m which looks to have been a bargain.
It's interesting to note that Ruffier picked up his one booking of the season in the first game of the campaign, but because he did so and because Saint Etienne conceded in both of their opening games he started matchday 3 with -1 points.
His season really kicked off against Montpellier when the teams played out a 0-0 draw at Stade de la Mosson but that earned Ruffier a clean sheets total of 7 points.
Ruffier's most consistent period came just at the right time when Saint Etienne also known as the Verts (greens because of their shirts) went 3 games in a row without conceding a goal in April. And this form was key to the club making a European place and fighting off the likes of Marseille and Montpellier and for a time Reims.
The games came thick and fast and started with a 3-0 win over Bordeaux. Nobody gave Saint Etienne much chance away to Reims in their next game but they went there and won 2-0 and finished off their trilogy of matches with a 2-0 win over Toulouse and Ruffier earned a whopping 21 points in those three matches.
Ruffier's worst points total was inevitably in Paris when PSG the reigning champions beat them 4-0 and as a result he ended up with -6 points.
His last two seasons have seen him earn much less than he did in this one, and he has improved significantly showing signs of perhaps getting back to his 2014 season best. His value looks sure to rise as he nears completing 10 years with the club that is clearly in his heart and now he will be back in European football for next season.

Top Ligue 1 Midfielders in 2018/19: Wahbi Khazri
Wahbi Khazri was one of the delights of Ligue 1 football this past season and his quality in midfield helped fire his club Saint Etienne into a Europa League finish. He also finished with his highest points tally in European Fantasy League thus far with 74 points, and joined only four other players in midfield in Ligue 1 who were able to score 70 or more points.
Khazri has played for five clubs over an 11 year career which started at Bastia, to date playing for Bastia is still his longest stint at one club which lasted for five years. After that spell he switched to Bordeaux for two seasons and then made the move to the Premier League signing for Sunderland. Despite having a decent season in the north of England he wasn't scoring enough goals for the club, just 3 in 38 league games plus he was obviously missing being in France and was loaned out to Rennes before Saint Etienne spotted his talents and bought him.
In his debut season for Saint Etienne Khazri has done well scoring 13 goals and assisting in another six meaning that he has been involved in 19 of the clubs 59 goals.
Khazri started the season by picking up 4 points as he scored a goal in Saint Etienne's 2-1 win over Guingamp. The midfielder's best game was against Monaco when his club won 2-0. Not only did he score both goals but because a clean sheet was obtained too he picked up 10 points.
Khazri's most consistent and best period begun at the end of November when Saint Etienne were paired with Nantes and ended in mid January. In this time frame Khazri played in five games and gained points in every one of those matches. It was a fine period for the player that saw him score goals and make crucial assists as Saint Etienne started to believe that they could chase a European place. In that time he got 28 points.
The one problem for the 28 year old was his short temper which landed him with 10 yellow cards throughout the season and 1 red card. With better discipline he could have ended up earning easily another 10-15 points.
In the end Khazri helped Saint Etienne to reach the Europa League and it will be interesting to see if he stays around. He should do but his career suggests that he will be on the move soon. At the same time he has just had his personal best season as a football player so the thinking is that he will be fine at this club.
His value this season started at 7.5m, and that could be set to rise for the beginning of next season after his impressive return from midfield.

Ligue 1 Player of the Week: Mathieu Debuchy
Posted on April 17, 2019 by David Bronstein
Mathieu Debuchy is the Ligue 1 Fantasy player of the week after he collected a whopping 13 points at the weekend as his side Saint Etienne beat Bordeaux 3-0 in a one sided game.
Points were immediately earned for the 33 year old defender as Saint Etienne not only won the game but also kept a clean sheet. But that was just the cusp of things to come for the player who maximised his points tally at the weekend by scoring not one but two second half goals.
Debuchy has scored 4 goals this season but getting half of those goals in one game was obviously a special moment for the player. The former Arsenal player finally joined up with Saint Etienne at the beginning of 2018 and has been a rock in defence for the team. However because of injuries he has only been able to start 18 games this season and earn just 33 points in the process. His value is rated at 7.5m and at this moment he wouldn't make the top 20 defenders in the league in Fantasy Ligue 1 but that could be set to change with another couple of performances like this for his club before the end of the season.
Saint Etienne still have the hope of Champions League football which would be a glorious return for Debuchy given that he has already had that experience with Arsenal. Saint Etienne are just 3 points behind 3rd placed Lyon to finish in a position where they would then have to participate in a play off to get to the competition proper. More realistically a Europa League spot should be for the club but they have given themselves a chance of appearing in Europe's elite competition after securing 2 clean sheets in their last five games and remaining unbeaten in their last four.
As for the goals at the weekend, Debuchy's first was set up by former Bordeaux player Wahbi Khazri whose cross was met by Debuchy's head for a fine goal. Debuchy added his 2nd in the final minute after a cross from Pierre-Yves Polomat with the game already won.
Saint Etienne coach Jean-Louis Gasset praised Debuchy's performance and said: "The players showed great spirit, led by Mathieu Debuchy. I saw him limping and suffering, and then he came back on and scored twice. We do this job to work with people like him. There are still 18 points to play for, and if we continue playing like that we will keep moving forward. Let's see where we are after that."

Ligue 1 Player of the Week – Martin Braithwaite (Bordeaux)
Posted on May 16, 2018 by Jamie McLean
With the penultimate weekend of the 2017-18 French Ligue 1 season now done and dusted, all that remains is one match in which to make or break your season. For Marseille, for example, their home clash against Amiens could spell the difference between a place in the early stages of next season's Champions League, or the Europa League. Lyon and even Monaco face very similar challenges. At the other end of the table, with Metz and Troyes already relegated Toulouse will want to halt their recent slump in the visit of Guingamp if they are to avoid joining those two in Ligue 2 next term. Metz, in fact, play host to Bordeaux on the final day of the season – and it is these visitors that this week's Ligue 1 Player of the Week represents.

Malcom reaffirms desire to leave Bordeaux at end of the season
Posted on March 22, 2018 by Joe Thomas
Bordeaux star Malcom has once again made clear his intentions to depart from the Ligue 1 side come the end of the campaign, revealing that he intends to be at one of Europe's 'elite clubs' come the turn of the next season.
Despite pledging to his club that he would remain loyal to them for the remainder of the 2017/18 campaign, the Brazilian has been increasingly vocal that of his intentions to leave Bordeaux when the summer transfer window comes around.
Having garnered attention from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham in January, Malcolm has made it clear that he sees the French club as a launch-pad from which to hit loftier heights in the European game and not as a final destination. Continue reading →

How Gus Poyet can inspire Bordeaux to European football this season
Posted on February 6, 2018 by Joe Thomas
New Bordeaux manager Gus Poyet has had a stellar impact upon the club since his arrival in Ligue 1. With the campaign to finish within the European places beginning to heat up as we approach the final stretch of the season, could his impetus be the driving force behind a late surge for the top six?
The 50-year-old's side ran out convincing winners away to a Strasbourg side that have slid down the table in recent weeks, having now won only one of their last five fixtures.
Poyet's team took an early lead when 28-year-old Senegalese midfielder Younousse Sankharé put them ahead in only the 3rd minute, grabbing his fifth goal this season hitting a points tally of 27 for the campaign. Continue reading →

Erik ten Hag explains key reason why he kept Harry Maguire as Man United captain
Man United boss Erik ten Hag has given the key reason why he decided to retain Harry Maguire as club captain for the 2022/23 season.
The England centre-back was appointed as captain under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in January 2020. The decision was made after the previous skipper Ashley Young left for Inter Milan.
Given Maguire was only six months into his Man United career, some fans questioned whether it was too early for him to be given the armband.
The 29-year-old has been captain ever since. He led United to a Europa League final and a second-place finish in the Premier League in 2021.
Last season, however, was more challenging for Maguire. The centre-back suffered a loss of form – perhaps partially due to a busy summer with England at Euro 2020 – and his place in the first XI began to grow uncertain.
The fans piled pressure on Maguire due to United's poor league position. The Red Devils went through two managers last season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November. Ralf Rangnick replaced him on an interim basis. However, he could only guide his side to sixth place in the Premier League, which was achieved after a final day loss for seventh-placed West Ham.
Erik ten Hag retains faith in Maguire
With the arrival of Erik ten Hag as United's new manager this season, fans questioned whether he would opt for a new captain.
However, the Dutchman has kept faith in Maguire. The 29-year-old will continue to wear the armband this season.
Erik ten Hag: "Harry Maguire is the captain – he's an established captain and he's achieved a lot of success."🗣 pic.twitter.com/d3U6K1wvh9
— SPORF (@Sporf) July 11, 2022
The centre of United's defence will have more competition for places this season. Lisandro Martinez will join the club from Ajax. In addition, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly are still with the club, whilst Raphael Varane will be hoping for an injury-free campaign.
That could increase the pressure on Maguire – but his manager has no doubts about his qualities.
Ten Hag explains why he chose Maguire as captain
Maguire has been continuing his captaincy role in Australia. United are in the middle of a pre-season tour of the country. They have already defeated Liverpool and Melbourne Victory.
Maguire did not play against Liverpool, having recently returned to training following an extended break after England duty. He did, however, feature for 45 minutes against Melbourne Victory.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror after his side's 4-0 win over the A-League side, Ten Hag explained his reasoning for keeping faith in Maguire.
He said: "No [debate whether to keep him as captain]. I always see the captaincy as an issue that I dictate.
"Team building, for me, is an important point, and I always talk about a group of leaders. The captain is a really important one, and I'm happy with him.
"I think he is [a first-choice player]. He's proved it in the past, but he has also to prove it in the present, and in the future.
"He's played 60 times for England. Harry is really impressive, and I expect a lot from him. But there is also internal competition, and that is what a club like Manchester United needs.
"You cannot win with 11 players. We need a squad, especially this season with so many games. We have the Europa League, the Premier League and the World Cup, so we need a full squad with high-quality players. Not quantity."

In the university semester just finished (the last of my undergrad degree) I took a course on post-war European cinema. However, rather than focus on the biggest names and greatest films of the era, the course interestingly chose to consider films as reflections of both history and society.
Images from the Bosnian War, the conflict that No Man's Land is set in.
One of the films that I was exposed to was Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land (2001), which is set in the Serbian-Bosnian war of the mid-1990s. The term No Man's Land of course refers to the area in between opposition trenches on the battleground. Here, it also takes on a stark new meaning. Serbian soldiers, believing one of their wounded Bosnian enemies to be dead, set up a land mine underneath him. In an example of the unimaginable coldness and barbarism of modern warfare, their hope is that when his colleagues come and retrieve the body, they will be blown sky high. As it turns out though, the soldier is not dead and comes-to atop the live mine. In the bottom of a trench he is in the ultimate metaphorical No Man's Land, caught somewhere between life and death. He is joined in this trench by a colleague, and a raw Serbian soldier, on his first day on the job. A majority of the first half of the film takes place solely in this restricted environ, down a trench. The three verbally spar and back and forth power plays ensue. There is a heated argument about who started the war and the entire situation is designed to function as a microcosm of the war proper and a comment on the futility of all wars. This first half of No Man's Land functions better as a reflection on the nature of the Serb-Bosnian conflict than as a piece of actual filmic entertainment. The back and forth banter between the soldiers is enlightening, especially for someone like myself whose knowledge of the conflict is sadly limited. But it does not always make for entirely riveting viewing. It does at times feel a little too uneventful, like a few dudes sitting in a hole talking the whole time.
From around the midway part of the film, the role of the UN peace keeping mission and the media is focused on a lot more, as they both get involved in the unfolding situation. I thought this would weaken the film further, as the main thing I thought it had going for it was the claustrophobic setting of a single trench and the manner in which it forced these two combatants into close quarters. However, the change actually enhanced the film. The interactions between all these parties, especially between the media and the UN really works, making the film more dynamic and enjoyable, whilst still retaining the thought provoking strengths of the earlier segments. If anyone comes out of this anti-war piece looking the silliest, it is the heartless anti-interventionist and bumbling UN force. This depiction of the UN really does work, and remains pertinent to this day. As Libya has more recently shown us, these are fundamental issues concerning peacekeeping missions and similar. Just when, if ever can they go in and intervene. Equally as interesting is the examination of the role of the media in a warzone. It is simply so intrusive on the media's part, but in the end it feeds a market that laps up footage from the 'ground' and interviews with combatants. The film shows both the positive and negative aspects of having the media around in these kinds of situations. They can be manipulative and there to tell cheap stories. But also, the best kinds of media in horrible situations are able to shed light on atrocities, and help force the relevant authorities to take action.
This, like many, is a film of two halves. Don't be turned off by the slightly too ponderous first half, as the second is quite a phenomenal piece of work. And closes with an ending that you will definitely not find in a Hollywood war film, that's for sure.

If you've been going out to Ruby Tuesday or other diners you probably noticed that their sides are becoming more varied, and that's because customers are looking for something different. Well, if your taste buds are longing for serious sides, here are some dishes you'll want to try out.
There are many kinds of side dishes, but for a barbecue, the big three are coleslaw, barbecue beans, and the potato salad. When it comes to Southern Barbecue themed restaurants, coleslaw is king, with its roots going back to the Dutch immigrants. Now for those times when you're in a Texas-themed diner, remember that beans are served with smoked brisket, sweet or spicy but always with plenty of flavors. Finally, there is the good old potato salad, which has become a staple in American cooking, and what's great about these is restaurants can serve them easily yet in so many different ways. These three have proven so popular that they are now available in numerous variations, and some of the best sides are those listed below.
There are different kinds of coleslaw, but for something traditional there's only the Lexington coleslaw from North Carolina, which includes ketchup, cider vinegar, and cabbage among others, making it the perfect companion for your chicken or pork. If you want to try something different there's the South Carolina coleslaw which is great for sandwiches because they are quite dry. A lot of diners also serve variations of this because it doesn't overpower the meat or barbecue.
Traditional German potato salads are laced with bacon and mayonnaise or vinegar and oil, but restaurants today serve them with various ingredients while still retaining the original flavor and taste. If you love potato salads but are tired of the usual stuff being served to you, then it's time you looked into German potato salads and gave it a try.
There are many kinds of beans, but if you're eating in a Texas-themed restaurant they can only be Pinto Beans. In restaurants, these are usually cooked and served with brisket ends burnt and with barbecue sauce on the side, making them the ideal companion for your barbecue.
Now if you're after some genuine Southern flavor there's always Carolina Style Beans with ketchup and cider vinegar. Restaurants whip this up in different ways, but the traditional ones use pork and beans as the foundation with a few extras added in.
If you're among those that enjoy dill then creamy dill potato salad will be perfect, as it comes with a tangy taste that works well with creamy mayonnaise and pickle juice. Diners these days serve this with seafood although they also go great with steaks and burgers.
As this list shows, there's more to side dishes than meets the eye, so the next time you are out dining at Texas Roadhouse, be sure to try these out as they will give your meals a different taste.

Q: Error in Asp .net: Uncaught ReferenceError: HTMLButtonElement I write this java script code for copy "txid" to the clipboard but i have this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError:  HTMLButtonElement
this is my function:
function txidButtonCopy(txid) {

            var copyText = document.getElementById("txid");

            copyText.select();
            copyText.setSelectionRange(0, 99999); /* For mobile devices */

            navigator.clipboard.writeText(copyText.value);

            alert("txid");
        }

another part of code:
function txidButton(txid) {
            var disabled = 'disabled';

            if (txid!='') {
                disabled = '';
            }
            return '<button onclick="txidButtonCopy(' + txid + ')" ' + disabled + ' title="لینک تراکنش" class="btn btn-info" style="margin: 5px;"></button>';
        }

A: You are grabbing the html button element by id when the element has no id. Give the element an id, or use document.getElementsByClassName.
function txidButton(txid) {
        var disabled = 'disabled';

        if (txid!='') {
            disabled = '';
        }
        return '<button id="txid" onclick="txidButtonCopy(' + txid + ')" ' + disabled + ' title="لینک تراکنش" class="btn btn-info" style="margin: 5px;"></button>';
    }

what are the textures and fabrics that represent summer for you?
I like materials that are loosely woven, almost rough to the touch, but still soft and light. Cotton and linen are my best friends!
lin: cotton & linen are my faves too - they're the more practical cousins to silk!
nice outfit. it looks so comfortable, yet still very chic.
i'm with lin. loosely knit cotton and linen are among my favorites. i just got this a.p.c. madras blouse made out of the softest, lightest cotton. it's going to be in heavy rotation this summer.
lovely! this is kind of my summer uniform as well, but swap the levis cut-offs with a pair of tailored shorts!!
That's such a great outfit, denim cut-offs really suit you! The Equipment shirt is so nice, I have to put a white silk shirt on my wishlist. It's a bit too delicate for my lifestyle, though. I also prefer loosely knit linen and cotton for summer!
jennifer: thanks! the right woven cotton is a godsend when it's 85+ outside. i wish linen were more low-maintenance washing-wise!
Fleurette: hehe - i must admit, shorts have their place when it's too hot out to want to wear proper pants!
Garderoben: yes, i wish silk were more hardy and less high-maintenance. you can try cupro though - it's a very silk-like fabric that's more wash/wear friendly and isn't an icky synthetic.
Lightweight denim is summer-time must for me. I like capris and easy, flowing skirts. Floral and gingham prints are nice when I feel extra girly. Nothing beats an easy, relaxed t-shirt dress too, preferably with stripes. Can dress up or down and so pleasant when the temp rises to stifling.
Nice outfit! Love the IM boots (and they look utterly walkable)!
I still find myself intimidated by silk tops (although I've come to own a few), I reach out for cotton tees and Steven Alan shirts, combined with linen or cotton wide leg pants or long breezy skirts. I tried the Phillip Lim shorts the other day but didn't work for my figure so i suppose I'll be wearing non-tight pants and tank tops and sandals the whole summer.
Eva: i agree with you on capris and floral prints - i have a few dresses with various floral motifs and they never get old every season.
La Fille mal Gardee: isn't Equipment great? i think i'm going to wear mine tucked in a lot more this sumemr!
Great Equipment blouse! It's one of those versatile item you can wear all year round. I was a bit dubious of the hype around the brand but it seems to be worth all the praises.
I'm not into shorts in Paris in the Summer BUT I spotted some Etoile baggy and longer ones that could very well end in my closet come the sales!
I usually prefer loose fitting dresses, skirts with linen tees and flats.
Oh and it's the only time, I really let my inner boho-hippie child come out in full force: colorful pieces, a bit of print and long flowy clothes.
You look lovely. I am considering the Equipment blouse too. It's so hard to find good white silk blouses.
those boots and the shirt aaah so perfect !!

The new international name of Eesti Post is Omniva. We are an international logistics company that transports goods and information. We create e-solutions that make it easier for companies to do their work. We are a partner for buyers and for sellers. We bring goods quickly to the shopper's home, a nearby post office or a parcel machine. Just the way it suits each individual. Our story starts officially on 13 November 1918 when the newly-emerged Estonian Republic took over the Tallinn post and telegraph office from the Germans and founded its own national postal service. The story has continued for 95 years and many exciting chapters have been written in it, and now, in 2014, we are starting a new chapter. The title of the chapter is Omniva. We are an international logistics company. Traditional postal services, where our story started, now make up only third of our business and for this reason the name Eesti Post has grown a little small for us now. This well-known and tradition-rich name will remain and you will see it whenever you enter a post office or meet our mail delivery staff in the streets, but you will know our international logistics company under a new name from now on.

IPOB has told South-East residents to ignore the five-day sit-at-home order.
Glamtush reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have told the residents of South-East that it did not give any five-day sit-at-home order in the region.
This online platform understands that the group, therefore, asked the people to ignore the order, describing it as a "senseless" order from those against the Biafra agenda.
This is following a video currently circulating online ordering the people of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home on December 9 -14, 2022.
But in a statement by IPOB's Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group said it never issued any sit-at-home order on the days mentioned above.
The statement read in part, "We wish to state unequivocally to the people of Biafra, friends of Biafra, and lovers of Biafra freedom that IPOB leadership did not issue any sit-at-home order on 9th,10th, 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th of December 2022.
"IPOB never issued any sit-at-home order on these days mentioned above because we are not miscreants, senseless, or jobless people.
"Every Biafran and residents in Biafra Land should ignore such order from untrained and brainless individuals whose agenda is to make Biafra agitation unattractive to our people . Every Biafran must go to their normal business on those days.
"IPOB who is concerned about our people cannot issue such brainless uncaring five-day consecutive sit at home order to suffer our people during this critical time of the year when people are trying to makeup in their businesses for the year.

"The conception of consecutive five-day sit at home by a Nigeria agent and his sponsors is to show the level of wickedness and hatred they have against our people. Their agenda is to create insecurity and unnecessary hardship to make our people jettison Biafra freedom. How wicked!
"Again, every one has his or her rights to go and collect his or her PVC from their pooling and registration centre without molestations. IPOB never boycott election and has nothing to do with Nigeria shambolic elections.
"Our people should be prepared and ready to confront any fool who dares to enforce such wicked sit-at-home. Moreso, ESN operatives and IPOB volunteers will be out on these dates to protect our people and the markets.
"Biafran youths should also be ready to confront anybody who comes to force them to close their businesses on these days.
"The miscreants who are issuing this brazen sit-at-home order should know that IPOB leadership has never authorised anyone to issue order of such magnitude in Biafraland, therefore, it will not work out for them.
"Our people should go to their businesses without fear. IPOB has put the agendists and their foot soldiers in Biafra land on check. Biafra restoration is moving well and we must exit this cage called Nigeria by the grace of Elohim."
BREAKING: One Killed, Others Missing As Gunmen Attack Wuse Zone-Five


In May 2010, Jeff Bezos held a press conference where he fielded questions about environmental stewardship and what Amazon.com is doing about it. Here are a few key points and how Jeff Bezos and Amazon.com are using the principles of Lean thinking toward environmental stewardship.
Inside Amazon, we also do a number of things. Our new campus in South Lake Union here in Seattle is a LEED certified campus. We have three years ago or so, we started doing these things called Earth Kaizens in our fulfillment center network. So our fulfillment center network is kind our — kind of our biggest footprint and we'd always done — or for many years, anyway, we had done Kaizens. It's a Japanese process.
It's a very formal Japanese process invented by Toyota many years ago to look for opportunities for improvement, and our Kaizen process had been focused on cost savings. So we decided a few years ago that we would tinker with that process, keep it basically the same but add — it's kind of a new — it's a second process — we didn't get rid of the Kaizen process we were using to look for cost savings but we supplemented it with Earth Kaizens. And their motivation is to look for things that would be better for the environment, things we could change in our processes that would create an improvement for the environment, and we found lots of things.
The — a simple one serves as a good example is that one of these Kaizen — Earth Kaizen teams came up with the idea of taking all the light bulbs out of all the ending machines in our multitude of fulfillment centers. So these vending machines are backlit — they kind of have advertisements and they have light bulbs in the vending machines to make the advertisements stand out, but inside the fulfillment centers we certainly didn't need those.
And if I remember the figure right, kind of globally, that saves us $20,000 worth of electricity and of course — no, the cost savings on that is small enough that it might not have been found if it were motivated by a cost savings Kaizen, one of our traditional ones, but as an Earth Kaizen, those incremental things can add up. Now, of course, it's also a good example because one of the things that you find with the Earth Kaizens is that it's very hard to do something environmentally effective that doesn't actually also save you money. Most of these things, they aren't either/or choices, they — they're better. Most of them end up saving fuel in some way or making something more efficient, reducing packaging waste.
Amazonians in our Lexington, Kentucky, fulfillment center analyzed the type of work performed in the bulk-storage area of the facility and learned that although a large portion of this area was not used during the weekend, the power remained on. Additionally, the team took light-level readings and determined that the area had too many lights installed for the type of work that associates were doing. As a result, over 120 lights were permanently shut off, and an additional 34 lights are turned off during the weekend. Their efforts resulted in an annual reduction of over 450,000 kilowatt-hours of power usage for this one facility; that's enough electricity to power 33 homes in Kentucky for an entire year.
At the Coffeyville, Kansas, fulfillment center, conveyor belts are used throughout the facility to route orders through the packing and shipping process. Previously, the conveyor belts operated continuously while the facility was open. An Earth Kaizen team determined that timers could be installed on the conveyor belts, so that they automatically shut down when they weren't in use. As a result, the facility now uses 30% fewer kilowatt-hours of power usage to operate the conveyor belts.
Previously, when Amazon transferred products from its larger automated fulfillment centers to its network of smaller distribution centers, it shipped the products in single stacks of pallets loaded into trucks. Because Amazon's smaller distribution centers didn't normally use forklifts, they couldn't unload double-stacked shipments. After analysis by the Kaizen team, Amazon bought forklifts for the distribution centers allowing them to accept double-stacked pallets. Now each truck can carry twice as much cargo, resulting in an overall savings of 1.1 million miles traveled and more than 175,000 gallons of fuel.
Amazon opened a new fulfillment center in Swansea, Wales in 2007. During the planning process, an Earth Kaizen team worked with the management team to determine the most efficient ways to light the facility. First, the team decided to increase the size of the skylights and windows throughout the building to improve natural lighting in the work areas. Second, the team had motion sensors installed throughout the facility so that lighting was used only when needed. As a result, the fulfillment center now uses 40% fewer kilowatt-hours of power each month than originally planned.
Amazon receives new inventory every day from vendors across the world. Typically, this inventory is shipped in cardboard boxes, which is recycled once the products are shelved. In 2009, an Earth Kaizen team began working with vendors to deliver the products in reusable totes, rather than cardboard boxes, in order to eliminate waste and cost for both parties. As a result, one out of ten inventory shipments to our UK fulfillment centers is now shipped without excess packaging waste.
The Earth Kaizen team in our Bad Hersfeld, Germany, fulfillment center determined that the high-rack and pallet area of their facility was being lit long before the first associates arrived to work. Working with the local facilities technicians, the team developed a process to turn on the 2,400 fluorescent lights in the area only when associates were working. Their efforts resulted in an annual reduction of over 10,000 kilowatt-hours of power usage in the facility.
Amazonians in our Orleans, France, fulfillment center previously disposed of all kinds of waste–from corrugate cardboard to plastics–in a single compactor. An Earth Kaizen team re-engineered the process to sort different kinds of waste into separate compactors, so that corrugates and plastics could be recycled. As a result, the facility now recovers more than 60% of its disposal costs by selling the corrugate and plastic to recycling vendors in France.
An Earth Kaizen team in our Glenrothes, Scotland, fulfillment center analyzed the heating and hot water supply systems in the facility and learned that the heating was activated at all times, even during the summer months when none was required. Additionally, they discovered that their systems were supplying hot water even when it wasn't needed. The team updated the systems so that gas and electricity were used only when needed. As a result, the facility reduced their daily gas and electricity consumption by more than 90% per day–an annual reduction of thousands of cubic meters of gas and kilowatt-hours of power usage.
A complex system of conveyor belts is used in fulfillment centers to move products from their shelves into the boxes that are then shipped to Amazon customers. An Earth Kaizen team in our Ichikawa, Japan, fulfillment center devised a simple but effective solution to reduce conveyor power usage by creating a visual guide that shows employees how to power down the conveyor belts when not in use, saving over 20,000 kilowatt-hours of power usage per year.
Associates in the Guangzhou, China, fulfillment center receive products for Joyo Amazon customers from many vendors. Once the products were moved into the warehouse, the packaging materials were previously discarded. An Earth Kaizen team re-engineered the process for sorting packaging waste, so that cardboard boxes and packaging could be recycled. As a result, the facility now recycles more than 40,000 boxes and more than 8,000 kilograms of packing material per year.
If you take some of the categories like toys, many electronics products, they get packaged — they have historically been packaged for the retail environment. So, that means typically the packages have a lot of air in them. They have to have four color packaging, which is not the — not an optimal process from the environmental point of view.
They also turn out to be frustrating for consumers. So you buy — oftentimes in the physical store you get this clam shell packaging or this very hard, impenetrable nuclear-proof packaging that you try to get scissors and knives and –. At one point, I knew the statistic for how many emergency room visits there are per year of people trying to get stuff out of clam shell packaging. It's like 6,000 emergency room visits a year; it's not a trivial number. And — but it's frustrating, even if you do it without injuring yourself.
And of course, the reason that packaging exists is to make it harder for people who would shoplift in physical stores which is not a problem that Amazon has. So, all that packaging is bad for the environment, it's bad for consumers because it's frustrating to open. And it's bad for Amazon because we end up shipping a lot of air around which is very expensive. When you're using — actually both for ground and air transportation, most vehicles are constrained by their cube — by their volume capacity rather than their weight capacity.
So when you send one of those UPS trucks on a optimized route, the more packages that — really, unfortunately, you're shipping around a lot of air, and that's not as efficient as it could be. And so we're working — our frustration free packaging initiative is working directly with the manufacturers to get them to build a separately packaged product for us and other e-commerce companies that is environmentally beneficial and better for consumers because it's easy to open.
The perspective of Lean Thinking provides a different look at waste – whether it be cost, material, motion, over-effort, etc., – but with specific application toward the environment and what we can do to reduce our overall impact. What is interesting with the Amazon.com story is that the CEO, Jeff Bezos, is the champion behind this effort, leading by example, how we all ought to be thinking.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this Pete!
I saw a company that put motion sensors on its vending machines.
Sure, they save some power, but they also use some power and cost money to install… and they add no value.

Guilt for two: why Armenia and Azerbaijan should admit their mistakes
Nika Musavi
At present, Armenia and Azerbaijan deny their responsibility for the bloody tragedies that occurred during the entire duration of the Karabakh conflict, shifting all the blame onto each other. But how advantageous is this position?
The Holocaust Memorial is one of the main attractions of modern Berlin – like the Berlin Wall, the Topography of Terror exhibition center, and a tiny museum in the former workshop of Otto Weid, a manufacturer who saved his Jewish workers from the Nazis.
Of course, there are many more interesting things in Berlin that have nothing to do with World War II. But that one day that I spent there turned into a tour around the monuments of this kind. So I remember the capital of Germany as a city flaunting its "dark past", almost defiantly repenting but not losing its slightly arrogant dignity. All this evokes a mixture of respect and surprise.

It turns out that you can do that. You can say: yes, we destroyed millions of people in every possible way, tried to crush half a continent, and in general, behaved in a completely bestial manner, and this, of course, is terrible, but we remember this, and we will remember, and we will remind ourselves and you, so that this does not happen again.
All this can be said and the crown will not fall. And you can turn the most unsightly pages of your history into additional pages of a tourist guide.
Now imagine that one day in Shusha (Shushi), for example, there will be a common memorial to all the victims of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, starting from 1905 – civilian victims of all massacres, pogroms, shelling. But first, all this must at least be admitted.
In our case, both Armenia and Azerbaijan lay the blame on each other and stubbornly refuse to accept at least part of the responsibility for what happened during these more than one hundred years, with a break for Soviet remission. Both of them consider apologies by the other side an indispensable condition for reconciliation: let them first admit that they were wrong, and we will then forgive them.
Let us digress from what theoretically the final solution to the Karabakh conflict can be. But even if an ideal solution that suits everyone is found, it will hardly nullify the long-term enmity overnight, it will not eradicate the mutual grievances and claims accumulated over decades.
True reconciliation is only possible through mutual recognition of one's mistakes and wrongs and mutual repentance. Well, or at least an imitation of remorse, if there isn't a sincere one.
It is not so important in this case who was wrong initially, and who was the instigator of the conflict. Claims for absolute innocence and the image of a victim in a crown of thorns and a white coat look quite ridiculous, even when it comes to a single person – not to mention entire countries and societies. Even from the Second World War – despite the fact that Germany coped with the role of the main antagonist excellently – not a single state came out completely untainted.
Of course, no one likes to admit their guilt. And, if you wish, you can deny any accusations against you as much as you like. What Germany did right up to the end of the 1970s: everything was not as you say it was, or, rather, not quite like that, do not exaggerate, we also suffered, and in general, Hitler was an Austrian, so leave us alone.
Until a certain moment, only a few people voiced the opposite opinion. The recognition of the so-called "German guilt" took a long time to become a political agenda and was caused by a combination of various external and internal factors.
Of course, the example of Germany is unique, not indicative, and mentioning it in the context of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations may not seem entirely relevant. Just in case: no, I am not drawing parallels between the Second World War and the territorial-ethnic conflict of two small countries, and I am not comparing any of its participants with the Nazis.
It's not about Germany. The point is the very fact that without mutual admission of guilt it is impossible to get rid of the sediment left by any war and ethnic "quarrels" and, admitting your mistakes is, after all, "an adult way" of dealing with things.
Among other things, admitting guilt deprives the opponent of one of his "trump cards" – he will no longer be able to justify retaliatory violence as "restoring justice." Only then, perhaps, can this bloody relay race finally end. The fact that neither the Armenian nor the Azerbaijani governments are currently eager to engage in "self-criticism" is, in principle, understandable and logical.
Another thing is that both societies do not want to do this either. They do not even want to admit thoughts of their own infallibility and popular international experts are required to fully embrace one side or the other.
Experts get blamed by both sides when they say that both sides are to blame. The most textbook example of this is the British journalist Thomas de Waal, whose book "Black Garden" was equally disliked in Armenia and in Azerbaijan, precisely because the author does not seek to whitewash or stigmatize anyone.
Yes, I understand that it is not the time yet and the time will not come in the near future (unless some circumstances arise and force both societies and politicians to change their rhetoric). The pain and the euphoria are still too fresh.
On this pain and euphoria, the national idea in our countries is now being built (this conclusion is not mine, suggested by someone else, but I agree with it). This is not the best foundation, but very popular nevertheless, and not only in our region.
So it is not the time yet, and it may not come any time soon. It may not even ever come at all, but without this there will be no real peace in the South Caucasus. All we can anticipate is another remission.
Trajectories is a media project that tells stories of people whose lives have been impacted by conflicts in the South Caucasus. We work with authors and editors from across the South Caucasus and do not support any one side in any conflict. The publications on this page are solely the responsibility of the authors. In the majority of cases, toponyms are those used in the author's society. The project is implemented by GoGroup Media and International Alert and is funded by the European Union
