The chance of FC Zurich in a duel of opposites
André Breitenreiter brought a new belief to the Letzigrund
Sandro Chieffo should definitely get his first points dry with FC Luzern
The chance of the FCZ in the duel of opposites – gallery
FC Zurich wins three times in a row, FC Luzern loses three times in a row. In the past, many Sporttoto-Tippers entered a single bank for the match of the first against the last.
No, with a success in the game against Lucerne on Saturday at 6 p.m., the Zurich team will not have their longest series of recent victories in the Super League. Because they also started the season with four wins in a row, after they had also won the last game of the 2020/21 season.
However, if you look back further, you have some difficulty to come across a series of victories from Zurich. In late autumn 2019 they won five times in a row and four times from July 2014. That is the end of the last seven and a half years with long, enjoyable series. Each subsequent series ends after the third match.

Sa 04.12. 17:25 – 21:15 ∙ blue Sport Live ∙ Live football: FC Zurich – FC Luzern
Precisely because of this, it may not be a coincidence that Die Zürcher are practicing in the winning series this season. Namely in the season in which they play at the top of the league for the first time in ages and contest the favorites Young Boys and Basel for the championship title.
In order to win, the team of the new coach André Breitenreiter, who is probably rightly praised, does not necessarily have to play superiorly. The winning goal can also be scored when the opponent is pressing. Like most recently in the late 1-0 win against the Young Boys, against whom they had not won in the championship since August 2014 and last lost eleven times in the series.
Zürcher with last commitment
The "Tagesanzeiger" rated the win against the series champion as "deserved" because it was the result of "a lot of passion". In fact, passion is the last thing you can deny the FCZ team this fall. André Breitenreiter brought them with him, the players took them over.
It is precisely through this passion that FC Luzern should find its way out of the manifest crisis. After the deeply disappointing performance in the 1: 3 defeat in Lugano, the Central Swiss actually played more passionately at home against Basel in the first game under interim coach Sandro Chieffo. They documents FC Basel 1: 3, but at least they stood up against dying at home.
In these weeks and months, the people of Zurich also take advantage of the fortunate fact that they hardly have any injuries or illnesses. Breitenreiter can draw on unlimited resources game after game. It won't be any different in the match against Lucerne.
Wagner has to keep improvising
YB's coach David Wagner can only dream of such a relaxed situation in the squad. Even for the eminently short match on Saturday evening in Wankdorf against Servette from the Bernese perspective, the German has to do without nine players, most of whom would play key roles.

The Super League games on Saturday at a glance:
Zurich – Lucerne (first duel of the season: 3: 1). – Saturday, 6 p.m. – SR Fähndrich. – Absences: Buschman (injured) and Coric (sick); Lucerne without Campo, Alabi and Monney (all injured). – Questionable: – ; Prospect. – Statistics: The proud leader FC Zurich has a fabulous opportunity to expand its winning streak under coach André Breitenreiter to four games and its unbeaten streak to nine games. FC Luzern's balance sheet is mirror-inverted. The last three championship games were all lost, including that of last Sunday against FC Basel, when Sandro Chieffo made his debut as an interim coach. The bottom of the league, Lucerne, has seven of its ten points from a draw. The only win was a 2-0 win at home against St. Gallen.
Young boys – Servette (6-0). – Saturday, 8.30 p.m. – SR Schnyder. – Absences: Aebischer (blocked), Von Ballmoos, Nsame, Fassnacht, Zesiger, Garcia, Monteiro, Petignat (all injured) and Rieder (sick); Schalk, Cespedes, Fofana and Deana (all injured). – Statistics: Servette is the only team in the Super League that has not had a negative record from the duels with the Bernese in the four YB championship seasons since 2017/18. Geneva have won three of the nine direct encounters since their promotion in the summer of 2019. Three duels were lost and three more were drawn. YB won the first duel of the season in Geneva 6-0. However, the Servettiens play ten times the entire second half.
Breitenreiter: "You can see how easy it is to make our players happy"
Due to a positive corona test, FCZ trainer André Breitenreiter is in quarantine at home. In the interview he tells how he experienced the top game against YB and how things continue for Nun.

Camilla F. Speller is a biomolecular archaeologist, Assistant Professor in Anthropological Archaeology at the University of British Columbia Department of Anthropology.

Education

Speller obtained her BA from the University of Calgary with a double major in archaeology and biological anthropology. She completed her MA at Simon Fraser University in 2005, using aDNA analysis to examine the distribution of salmon species at the Northwest Plateau site of Keatley Creek in British Columbia Canada. She completed her PhD, completed at Simon Fraser in 2009 with a dissertation that applied ancient DNA techniques to study the human use of wild and domestic turkeys in the Southwest United States.

Career and research
In 2010 Speller was awarded a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Calgary to continue her research on North American turkey domestication. In 2012 she was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship to train at the University of York BioArCh Centre. During this time she applied ZooMS and ancient DNA analysis to address questions concerning historic whale exploitation. She was appointed as a Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of York in 2014 where she led the ancient genetics group at BioArCh until 2018, when she moved to the Department of Anthropology at UBC. She currently directs research in the Ancient DNA and Proteins (ADαPT) Facility located within the Museum of Anthropology at UBC.

Speller applies biomolecular techniques to address questions related to human-environment relationships in the past and present, ancient diets, and how humans have shaped their physical environment, from broad ecosystem impacts to the micro-environment of the human body, including ancient microbiomes. She uses ancient DNA analysis, ancient proteins and collagen peptide mass fingerprinting (ZooMS).

Prizes and awards
Speller was the recipient of a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Archaeology in 2016, and in 2010 was awarded the Gold Governor General's Academic Medal for her PhD dissertation on North American Turkey domestication.

Kilimanjaro is one of the world's most accessible high summits, a beacon for visitors from around the world. Most climbers reach the crater rim with little more than a walking stick, proper clothing and determination. And those who reach Uhuru Point, the actual summit, or Gillman's Point on the lip of the crater, will have earned their climbing certificates. And their memories……….
Even before you cross the national park boundary (at the 2,700m contour), the cultivated foot-slopes give way to lush montane forest, inhabited by elusive elephant, leopard, buffalo, the endangered Abbot's duiker, and other small antelope and primates. Higher still lies the moorland zone, where a cover of giant heather is studded with otherworldly giant lobelias.

Two years ago, my boyfriend began to wrap the laces of his winter boots around his ankle and tie them neatly with a bow. "Why?" I inquired. "Because the laces are too long," he said matter-of-factly. "And it supports the ankle—it's functional. It's practical." And we left it at that.
Cut to present day, and there's 15-year-old Kaia Gerber—Cindy Crawford's daughter, aspiring model, style influencer, "It" girl—tying her white Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops the very same way. Um is my boyfriend the ultimate trend-setter? It looks to be that way.
But there are a couple of differences between these two shoelace-tying looks, like the fact that Gerber tied hers with sneakers versus boots, and how she put them on display (my boyfriend always had his tucked away from sight beneath the cuffs of his pants—also side note: If he ever wore tiny denim shorts, I might have to reconsider some things). As a result, the mere presence of those two darling little bows gives a swift kick of sweetness to Gerber's street-chic, downtown-cool edge. And combined with frayed cut-offs (to show off her enviably long legs, of course), a '90s flame-printed hoodie, her fur pom-adorned cross-body, and retro frames, it's model off-duty perfection at its finest.
And frankly, who wouldn't want bows bedecked on everything and with every look? It's already a spring fashion trend and an emerging fall hair one. Maybe that was the whole idea behind Gerber's look. Or perhaps her shoelaces were just too damn long.

Athena-Fidus (Access on Theatres for European Nations Allied forces – French Italian Dual Use Satellite) ist ein militärischer Kommunikationssatellit der französischen Raumfahrtbehörde CNES und der italienischen Raumfahrtagentur ASI. Am Projekt beteiligt sind auch die Verteidigungsministerien von Belgien, Frankreich und Italien sowie der französische und der italienische Zivilschutz.

Er wurde am 6. Februar 2014 um 21:30 Uhr UTC mit einer Ariane-5-ECA-Trägerrakete von der Startrampe ELA-3 des Centre Spatial Guyanais bei Kourou zusammen mit ABS-2 nach 27 Minuten in einer geostationären Übergangsbahn (GTO) ausgesetzt. Der Satellit erreichte aus dieser Bahn mit einem Perigäum von 244,4 Kilometern und einem Apogäum von 35.937 Kilometern den geostationären Orbit mit eigenem Antrieb.

Der in Cannes in Frankreich hergestellte 140 Millionen Euro teure Athena-Fidus ist mit 23 Ka- und weiteren EHF-Band-Transpondern ausgerüstet und soll von der Position  als Ergänzung der bereits um die Erde kreisenden französischen Syracuse- und italienischen SICRAL-Satelliten dienen. Er wurde auf Basis des Satellitenbus Spacebus 4000B2 von Thales Alenia Space gebaut und besitzt eine geplante Lebensdauer von 15 Jahren. Die Nutzlast soll eine Übertragungskapazität von 3 Gbit/s im Ka-Band bereitstellen, basierend auf den Protokollen DVB-RCS und DVB-S2. Die italienische Nutzlast besteht aus getrennten Verstärkereinheiten und speziellen Antennen für zivilen Kunden und das Militär. Die Antennenfarm umfasst zwei Antennen (eine 30/20-GHz-Antenne für die zivile Nutzung und eine 44/30/20-GHz-Antenne für das Militär) und zwei weitere steuerbare Antennen 30/20 GHz, die Breitband-Telekommunikationsdienstleistungen für das italienische Militär sowie für institutionelle und humanitäre Einsätze außerhalb Italiens erbringen sollen.

Im September 2018 warf Frankreich Russland vor, mit Hilfe des Satelliten "Lutsch-Olymp" versucht zu haben, über Athena-Fidus die französische Militärkommunikation abzuhören. Verteidigungsministerin Florence Parly sprach von Spionage.

Music notes: Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, BTS and Doja Cat
Britney Spears revealed on Instagram, "I cut all my hair off … I don't want to show it yet." The singer also said she's tired of people criticizing her posing topless and saying she's embarrassing her teenage sons. She expressed in a separate post, "The last phone call I had with my son that I haven't spoken to in 9 months he literally laughed in my face and hung up." Britney said she won't stop, adding, "I find joy out of making my silly videos."
Photos have surfaced of Justin Bieber peeing on a Los Angeles golf course. Page Six reports the singer opted not to relieve himself at the clubhouse and instead settled for going behind a tree. Apparently, he laughed before going to the bathroom outside, where paparazzi photographed him dropping his pants.
Carly Rae Jepsen has a new song coming out Friday -- the title track to her album The Loneliest Time. She revealed she collaborated with fellow Canadian Rufus Wainwright on the song. Carly said fans should pre-save the track "if you like 5-part string sections, 4:30+ track lengths, and disco power ballads."
BTS' V is heading to Disney+ and will premiere the group's special IN THE SOOP: FRIENDCATION on October 19. He will go on a relaxing trip with The Marvels' Park Seo-jun, Parasite star Choi Woo-shik and two others. Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
Doja Cat sheepishly admitted she mistranslated a French saying and has been saying it out loud "for months." She revealed to Vogue, "I do speak some French. The other day I wanted to say 'I'm so excited' and so I said, 'Je suis excité.' And someone was like, 'That means I'm horny.'" Doja is still shaking off the embarrassent.

FFA chairman Chris Nikou says he believes in a second division, but it probably won't happen for over a decade.
Nikou was quoted speaking at the Australian Football Writer's Festival in Jamberoo, after he was pressed on the feasibility and timelines for introducing a national second division with promotion and relegation.
'As I stand here now promotion and relegation is unlikely until 2034,'' Nikou said.
''You need to have a second division established. Those clubs need to be able to step up ... if the gap is too big they won't be able to do it."
It wasn't an opinion shared by fellow FFA board member Remo Nogarotto, who took to Twitter to attempt to dispel fears raised by fans and journalists. Nogarotto and other board members have kept a reasonably open stream of communication on the social media platform since the board restructuring took place.
"Got no idea where that number comes from," Nogarotto posted.
"Sounds pretty arbitrary. Must be a private view and certainly one that is not shared by me. Would have preferred a proper board discussion before publicly ventilating but there's Oz football for you."
The FFA chairman's caution stems from a lack of obvious investors to maintain a second tier to the A-League, in addition to the financial insecurity of existing A-League clubs. In little over a decade, FFA has wound up three A-League franchises and rescinded many more from club owners.
But in his Q&A session with the audience, Nikou did elaborate on how A-League expansion could quell some of the criticism surrounding the league, based on problems around stagnation, relationships with former NSL clubs and professional opportunities for young Australian footballers.
''A-League expansion does that a little bit, we are going to 12 clubs, maybe 14, maybe 16," he said.
''The second division does create more pathways ... if a player does not get an A-League or W-League contract then there's a chance to put themselves into the shop window.
FFA released a statement shortly after Nikou's comments, clarifying that the chairman's comments relate to the Club Participation Agreement (CPA) that A-League clubs signed, which extends until 2034.
They also noted that the exact timeline involved in introducing promotion and relegation will be decided by the New League Working Group and Second Division Working Group.
"Under the terms of the existing Club Participation Agreement (CPA), existing and incoming Australian Hyundai A-League Clubs are entitled to participate in the Hyundai A-League until the year 2034," the statement said.
"Whilst the CPA also provides for the introduction of promotion and relegation during that period at its discretion, FFA notes that the New Leagues Working Group and the Second Division Working Group are currently considering the future structure of the top two tiers of Australian club football, including what provisions for promotion and relegation should be established.

Google grows revenue, profit in Q3
The company believes the economy is on its way back from the downturn
Juan Carlos Perez (IDG News Service)
Google grew both its revenue and profit in the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30, registering results its CEO called "strong" and that exceeded Wall Street expectations.
The company now considers the worst of the recession to be over so it has decided to step up its investments in areas like hiring and acquisitions.
"We're very optimistic about the future. We now have the business confidence to invest heavily in the next phase of innovation," Google CEO Eric Schmidt said during a conference call to discuss the financial results.
"We're open for business, making strategic acquisitions both large and small," he added.
Google had revenue of US$5.94 billion, up 7 percent compared with 2008's third quarter, the company said Thursday. Of that total, it paid out $1.56 billion, or 27 percent, as commissions to its advertising partners and, to a lesser extent, as fees to other partners. Thus, net revenue was $4.38 billion.
Net income came in at $1.64 billion, or $5.13 per share, up from $1.29 billion, or $4.06 per share, in 2008's third quarter.
On a pro forma basis, which excludes certain items, net income was $1.88 billion, or $5.89 per share, compared to $1.56 billion, or $4.92 per share.
The consensus estimate from financial analysts was for earnings per share on a pro forma basis of $5.42 and net revenue, deducting commissions, of $4.24 billion.
"We're very pleased with our Q3 results," said Google CFO Patrick Pichette. "Our business was strong across the board."
"We saw stabilization or improvement in most of our major markets," Pichette added.
Paid clicks on ads served on Google sites and on partner sites increased 14 percent, while the average cost-per-click fell 6 percent, Google said.
The company ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities totalling $22 billion, and with a global staff of 19,665 full-time employees, slightly down from the second quarter.
Google generated 53 percent of its revenue from international markets, up from 51 percent in 2008's third quarter.
Schmidt didn't provide much detail on what companies Google might be looking to acquire, saying that the most frequent types of companies it buys, at a rate of about once a month, are small ones, relatively inexpensive and with a specific technology it's interested in.
Along those lines, Google would be interested in companies that could help it fill in gaps in the development of products like its Chrome OS, its display advertising technology and specific types of search services, he said.
"We're certainly looking for larger businesses to buy but in those cases it would have to be some significant strategic rationale, some acceleration for revenue, some major, major user base we don't have access to," Schmidt said, adding that those bigger acquisitions will be more infrequent.
While Google mulls making more acquisitions, it will also continue to invest in internal development. Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's senior vice president of product management, singled out a new AdWords user interface for advertisers as one of the company's biggest investments of the year so far. Virtually all advertisers have been transferred over to the new user interface, which represents the biggest overhaul of the AdWords system ever, he said.
Google is also investing heavily in developing new ad formats, including a new one being tested for local ads, designed to make it easy for small businesses to sign up by filling out a one-page form and paying a monthly rate, Rosenberg said. That beta local ad service also includes a Web page for businesses that don't have one, populated with their information.
Another area of major investment this year has been the improvement of search user experience through the development of new features to help users refine queries and filter search results, he said.
"We see users today coming to us with much harder queries than they used to, so we're adding more ways for them to work with the results and get what they need," Rosenberg said.
Schmidt also addressed this topic, saying Google had implemented about 120 search quality improvements during the third quarter, and will continue to constantly improve its search technology now and in the future.
"We want to get to the perfect search engine," Schmidt said.

Dawn Rodriguez came to Unique People Services (UPS) nearly one year ago, exhibiting behavioral challenges, a strong need for structure and a guiding hand to lead her in the right direction. Over the last several months, UPS staff have worked with Dawn to set goals and help her improve socialization skills which have increased dramatically.
If Dawn encounters an obstacle, she is encouraged to communicate her feelings so she can talk out her issues and resolve the situation. Through the support of program supervisors, she has grown more confident when it comes to successfully achieving her goals. She is no longer afraid to challenge herself and feels comforted knowing that staff are available 24/7 to help rectify any issues she may be having.
One such area is travel training. Instead of boarding a city bus, Dawn used to try to run away, requiring intense supervision. UPS staff helped Dawn conquer her fear of public transportation. She has ridden the bus on several occasions, easing her trepidation and advancing her to less intense supervision. Dawn's next goal: to overcome her fear of elevated subway platforms and stairs. With staff by her side, she has already showed signs of success, carefully navigating any set of stairs she encounters with increased self-assurance and determination.
As she continues to successfully integrate into the community, Dawn is enjoying a variety of outings. Like many women, she likes a bit of pampering, especially manicures. When Dawn visits the local nail salon, she appreciates the ability to make choices and select her own nail color preference. Whether she's at program or out in the community, Dawn has become more aware of the decision-making process and how to make the best choices to achieve appropriate outcomes.
Dawn's math and reading skills have also improved, as well as her perception skills. She is able to remember streets and landmarks when traveling in the community. When visiting the library, her enhanced interpersonal skills are frequently on display. She loves mingling with others and is proud of her ability to check out CDs and DVDs on her own.
Future goals include mastering money management, which Dawn has already kick-started. She recently saved four weeks of her allowance so she can purchase different items, exhibiting a sense of responsibility and will power that many shoppers do not have!
As Dawn's skillsets increase each day, so have additional opportunities for growth. Staff recently helped Dawn complete an application to participate in a volunteer companionship program for the elderly. She also helps to deliver mail to UPS sites every Wednesday.
Yes, Dawn, you are doing great and your wonderful progress continues to make us proud!
Please join the UPS team in congratulating Dawn Rodriguez as our Individual of the Month!

Apple Begins Promoting 'Live Tune-In' Feature on New Apple TV Splash Screen
Friday April 15, 2016 8:48 am PDT by Mitchel Broussard
Apple today began promoting a new feature on the fourth-generation Apple TV called "Live Tune-In," which lets users jump directly into the live streams of select apps using Siri. The company is specifically promoting CBS, ESPN, and Disney XD as apps that support Live Tune-In, but it hasn't disclosed yet how soon other apps that have live channel functionality will gain the new feature as well.
To use Live Tune-In, Apple TV users can speak into the Siri Remote using commands like "Watch CBS," or specifically ask to "Watch ESPN live." Other features on the new splash screen of the Apple TV include updates that were released in March's tvOS 9.2 update -- including Folders and Bluetooth keyboard support -- but Apple is just now beginning to promote the Live Tune-In ability as an option for those who watch live channels often on the platform.
Some live streaming apps do require separate subscriptions to be able to watch live TV in the first place, so the CBS app won't work for those who don't have a CBS All Access account. Other live streaming-supported apps that don't appear to incorporate Live Tune-In yet include ABC and Food Network.
(Thanks, Eric!)

Some live streaming apps do require separate subscriptions to be able to watch live TV in the first place, so the CBS app won't work for those who don't have a CBS All Access account
If CBS wonders why their CBS app has 18,475 one-star ratings, this is one of those reasons. I don't think CBS understands that they're the most generic of broadcast tv. If pretty much anyone in the United States (cord-cutters included) want to watch CBS live tv, just tune into the channel. Additionally they make money from the advertisements from Live TV and still want to charge you to watch live tv.

What I don't get is why they can't just offer their shows for free on the app with advertisements just like you watch it on live TV.
It's the same damn thing!!

How about activating Siri in more countries?

It's interesting to see broadcast networks finally confront how much viewers value their programming in dollar amounts. They've been making "good enough" programs that are attractive to advertisers, but not the sort of thing that people are going to subscribe with actual dollars. Who is really going to pay $10 a month / $120 a year to watch NCIS: Boise ?

Not going to have a device connected to my TV that locks me into one walled garden. I want competition and I want direct access to the media outlets I value. So make it work on a general computer or I'll continue with antenna TV.
Yep and I want general access to the 3 channels in HD that are worth watching without spending $70 for 900 other channels I could care less about, but we don't get everything we want. Also this thread is talking about a new feature, it is not a debate on why you hate the Apple TV.
nickhutson
Couldn't care less. Not could. Could caring implies you care a bit, which I don't think is what you meant :)
What I want is for the Apple TV to actually be of some use in the UK - with more than just the BBC being on it. Until then - not interested.
Nice to see some changes are happening, though...
