American Gets Warm Reception from Hebron Jews in 1868
An American traveler gets warm hospitality from Jews in Hebron, a chilly reception from others.
30.5.18, 18:33
(ARTWORK from page 206 of D. A. Randall's book.)
Excerpts from The handwriting of God in Egypt, Sinai, and the Holy Land : the records of a journey from the great valley of the West to the sacred places of the East
by Reverend D. A. Randall
Published: JOHN E. POTTER & CO., 1868.
page 207 - 213
FERTILE GRAPE COUNTRY
As we approached Hebron, we found the country more fertile, and in a better state of cultivation than any other portion we had yet seen. The valleys were broader, the hill-sides more sloping, and sometimes covered with brush-wood. Upon many of the steeper acclivities the old terraces were still kept up, and vineyards, and the olive and the fig yet flourished...
ABRAHAM'S OAK
...But here, too, is the Plain of Mamre, and there is Abraham's oak, spreading wide its luxuriant shade... "But you do not believe," says one, "this is the oak under which Abraham pitched his tent?" No; though some of the credulous Arabs about you will affirm it is the veritable one. But though not the one, it is a descendant, and a conspicuous one among the very few representatives of its ancient progenitor. There it stands, and there it has stood probably for a thousand years. This tree stands alone, the ground about it smooth and covered with a thick carpet of grass. It is twenty-three feet in circumference at the base, and its huge branches spread over a diameter of about ninety feet. It stands, one of the last of that sacred forest, where Abraham entertained angels as his guests, and communed familiarly with his Maker. A walk of about twenty-five minutes from Abraham's Oak down the valley brings us to HEBRON.
MODERN HEBRON
Modern Hebron contains a population of about ten thousand. The houses are mostly of stone, two to three stories high, and very strongly built. For some half a mile before entering the city, we were traveling upon a road coarsely paved with large boulders, and walled on each side five or six feet high. An archway supporting a gate, seemed to be built merely to defend the road, as there is no wall about the town. A small garrison of Turkish soldiers are quartered here, as well as in all the other prominent towns of Palestine. We entered the place about two o'clock.
JEWISH HOSPITALITY
There is no hotel, or public house, for the accommodation of travelers. We made application to a Jew who had been recommended to us at Jerusalem. One of our number could converse with him in German, and in that language the negotiation was conducted. There were seven of us in company. He had but one room and one bed. It was at last arranged that we should have the room, lunch, supper and breakfast for five dollars. They were a kind-hearted family, and did the best they could for us ; but with the miserable, filthy cookery, the camp on the floor, and the multitude of fleas, we did not pass a delightfully pleasant night.
We learned from our host that there were about forty families of Jews in the place. Many of the race make a pilgrimage here to visit the home and burial place of their great ancestor, but Moslem intolerance prevents many of them from making it a home. Aside from a few Jews, Turkish soldiers and native Mohammedans make up the population. Franks and the Frank dress are much more of a novelty here than at Jerusalem and Bethlehem, as but few visit the place.
The people stared at us; the children followed after us; some of the ruder ones hooted at us, and occasionally a stone would come whirling along our path. We walked through the bazars, and bought oranges, figs and raisins, and visited some of the establishments where glass bracelets, beads and other ornaments are made, large quantities of which are manufactured here and exported to other cities.
POOL OF DAVID
Among the curiosities of the place are two large pools, or reservoirs of water, evidently of great antiquity. The lower one is called the Pool of David.
It is a square, each side one hundred and thirty feet, the depth fifty feet. It is very firmly built, with large hewn stones. It affords an abundant supply of water, a large stream constantly flowing through it. This is supposed to be the pool over which David hung the murderers of Ishbosheth, as recorded in the 4th chapter of 2nd Samuel. Tradition also points out some other localities here, but they need evidence to authenticate them, or are too absurd to claim credence, and we did not inquire for them. Such are the tombs of Abner — of Jesse, David's father — the spot where Abel fell beneath the murderous hand of Cain, and the red earth from which Adam was made. But the great attraction of the place, the sacred spot which Jew, Christian and Moslem alike reverence, is the CAVE OF MACHPELAH.
BANNED FROM THE TOMB OF MACHPELA
This cave is upon the hill-side, close upon the borders of the city. Of the identity of the place there can be little doubt. Through a long succession of near four thousand years it has been preserved ; Jews, Christians, and Moslems have in turn possessed it, and watched over it with jealous care. It is now inclosed by a massive stone wall, two hundred feet long, one hundred and fifty feet broad, and about sixty feet high. Within this harem, as it is called, or forbidden inclosure, stands a Turkish mosque, once a Christian church, and for aught I know, before that a Jewish synagogue. Beneath that mosque is the cave. The story of the little cluster of graves concealed there, is best told in the pathetic language of Jacob. In the land of Egypt he gathered his sons around his dying bed, and exacted an oath from them that he should not be buried among strangers in Egypt. "I am to be gathered unto my people ; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron, the Hittite. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife ; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife ; and there I buried Leah."
And Joseph went up from Egypt with a great retinue of chariots and horsemen, and servants, and kindred, with great pomp and ceremony, and laid the embalmed body of his father to rest with his kindred. Here, then, within that massive wall, beneath the dome of that mosque, are enshrined the ashes of the six ancestors of the Hebrew nation. Is it any wonder that the Jew still lingers around this consecrated spot — that they should cling to it as they do to the moss-grown stones that mark the foundation of their Holy Temple?
Would you like to visit this sepulchral abode of the venerable dead? You attempt it at your peril. You will not have reached the bottom of the stone steps that ascend to the door of the inclosure, before a dozen Turkish soldiers will stand athwart your path, and a dozen gleaming bayonets will warn you back. Like the tomb of David, on Mount Zion, or the site of Solomon's Temple, on Mount Moriah, it is too sacred a place to be polluted by the foot of a Christian. For many hundreds of years it has been thus jealously guarded and it has been only by accident or stealth that any knowledge of the interior could be obtained. Why is this? Mohammedans have a high regard for the patriarchs of Old Testament history, especially for Abraham, whom they call El-Khulil — "the friend of God." In the long succession of wars that have taken place for the possession of these ancient and sacred places, in which Jew, Christian, and Mohammedan have alternately held the mastery, a deep and settled spirit of hostility has been nurtured. For many generations it has been perpetuated, and many more will elapse before it will be eradicated. After many changes, the Mohammedans, in 1187, succeeded in wresting this place from the crusading Christians. They converted the church into a mosque, closed the gates against the admission of Christians, and with most unwavering hostility, have not to this day relaxed in the least their jealous watchfulness over it...
I was aroused from my revery by a troop of young Hebronites, who came noisily upon me, with a lot of old coins, beads and relics, which they were anxious to dispose of for a few piasters. I stopped to barter with them, and they followed me to the foot of the hill and into the town, until I was forced, even with rudeness, to check their importunities.
Our visit to the home of the patriarchs was over. We had fifteen to eighteen miles to walk on our return, and the sun was already shining hot in the heavens. We bade farewell to the Jewish family that had opened their doors for us, left Hebron and all its interesting associations behind, and retraced our steps homeward.

Love hurts. It does not matter how hard you try, your loved one will always stab you in the back. Especially if they are an obsessed fan as it is the case with Oliver and his fangirl in Draw Back Your Bow, the seventh episode of Arrow Season 3.
This time we meet Carrie Cutter, also known as Cupid. She is a mentally insane woman with a crush on the Arrow.
In the comics, Carries was a Federal agent that undergone a secret experiment to become a super soldier that destroyed her mind in the process. In the TV series, she is an ex-cop with a straight-up mental disorder. Both scenarios make her a sympatric 'villain'. She kills for her true love, but she does not know that her killings are both wrong and are what drives her loves away.
Arrow saved her earlier in the series from some hoodlums. This sets Carrie down the fangirl path learning how to use a bow and how to track down Arrow. She grabs an old colleague to set up her own Term Arrow, taking on the name of Cupid. She then eliminates anyone that stands between her and the Arrow.
We first see her killing Wild Cat's sidekick in the last episode, probably so they can show us how she meets Arrow in this one. Her relationship with her CSI friends parallels Oliver and Felicity which doesn't bode well for either pairing. At least, Oliver manages to get Carrie under control in the end. He handles her over to A.R.G.U.S. and the Suicide Squad in hopes that they can help her deal with her issues. Thus, we will probably see her again in the future.
I guess I am fortunate to now have a crazy fangirl yet. I had only one woman drunk call me in the past, but nothing on the level of Carrie. Still, that does not mean I will have one in the future. Do you have some crazy fan stories? Tell us about them in the comments below while you read my last Arrow review here.


5557 P-L. Discovered 1960 Oct. 17 by C. J. van Houten and I. van Houten-Groeneveld at Palomar.
Named in honor of Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), Dominican priest, who spent 16 years travelling through Europe, but who was mostly in London, where many of his papers were published. Bruno assumed the existence of other worlds on which people could live, and he was convinced of the correctness of the heliocentric system. This brought him in conflict with the church and he was condemned and burned on the Campo dei Fiori in Rome. (M 22507) Giordano Bruno is also honored by a lunar crater.

If something looks too good to be true, it may actually be too good to be true.
Count Gates among the skeptics: "The need to discriminate is going to be there," Gates told the Financial Times in an interview.
The idea that close scrutiny of a given startup's fundamentals will help would-be investors sort winners from losers should not come as a revelation, but such are the times we live in. And the growing ranks of unicorpses, aka unicorns that have lost their $1 billion valuation, proves the point.
In one sign of changing times, Fidelity Investments last year re-valued its investments (downward) in such unicorns as Zenefits, Dropbox, and Snapchat.
Gates knows a bit about making money. Microsoft, which he co-founded with Paul Allen in 1975, has proved a great investment over the years. With an estimated personal worth of $72.9 billion, he tops this year's Forbes list of wealthiest people. Now he has challenged the world's other billionaires to help him fight climate warming.

A Free Paper for Free People
Actually, It's Clarence Thomas Who Owes the Apology Here
Kai Wright Oct 27, 2010
CREDO Action wants to turn the tables on the Thomases. In the wake of Virginia Thomas' bizarre "reach across the airwaves and the years" to solicit an apology from Anita Hill, the online petition-maker launched a campaign to demand a belated apology from Clarence Thomas. As the petition reads,
Clarence Thomas: It's time for YOU to apologize to Anita Hill.
It's been 20 years since Anita Hill courageously spoke truth to power and exposed Clarence Thomas as a sexual harasser during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
And now Thomas' wife, a right-wing Tea Party advocate, in a move as brazen as it is offensive, has asked Anita Hill to apologize to her abuser.1 Hill said no. We say it's long past time for Clarence Thomas to apologize to Anita Hill.
As of today, just under 90,000 people had signed.
Meanwhile, Maureen Dowd's scathing weekend column is making the Web rounds. Dowd pointed out that there's more than enough blame to go around in the ugly affair that was Thomas' confirmation. The justice's 1980s girlfriend, Lillian McEwen, has broken her 20-year silence to say, yeah, all that stuff Hill said sounds right to me and, moreover, I offered to speak up at the time. But McEwen, who had worked for the Judiciary Committee and as an assistant U.S. attorney, was never called to testify. As Dowd writes, that's not coincidental,
Years later, some of the Democrats on that all-male, all-white Senate Judiciary Committee told me they assumed there must have been a consensual romance between the boss and his subordinate. McEwen assumed so, too, because Clarence took Anita with him when he changed agencies. Hill has made it clear she felt no reciprocal attraction.
Joe Biden, the senator who ran those hearings, was leery of the liberal groups eager to use Hill as a pawn to checkmate Thomas. He circumscribed the testimony of women who could have corroborated Hill's unappetizing portrait of a power-abusing predator.
For the written record, Biden allowed negative accounts only from women who had worked with Thomas. He also ruled out testimony from women who simply had personal relationships with Thomas, and did not respond to a note from McEwen — a former assistant U.S. attorney who had once worked as a counsel for Biden's committee — reminding him of her long relationship with Thomas.
It's too late to relitigate the shameful Thomas-Hill hearings. We're stuck with a justice-for-life who lied his way onto the bench with the help of bullying Republicans and cowed Democrats.

Client: Birmingham Women's & Children's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Project value: £1m
A very high profile and unusual NHS construction project located in the middle of the hospital. An entire bereavement centre was constructed in the almost landlocked garden with every single element of the building passing through a small gate and through a garden that was operational 24/7.
The entire construction site was surrounded by complex operational departments from complex care, to CRF, surgical day care and Heart Investigation. Despite the complexity of the build process and the location of the construction site, not a single infection control incident occurred throughout the entire project. Due to the nature of the facility the Client wanted a non-clinical feel, high specification and sustainable construction. This included feature lighting, underfloor heating, engineered floor finish, feature bulkheads, glazed curtain walling, etc.

I had a good feeling about this poll from the minute I thought of it and right now we have ourselves a heck of a fight.
Just shows how tough it's going to be on Ted Nolan, Garth Snow and most important the player who's on the fourth line. If you were coach/gm with a one year contract and had to play one of these players on your left side what would you care about most?
All I ask of everyone is if you decide to pick a player as your first line left wing, do not put the next player as your first line pick also. Make your lineup as if you were coaching and had to pick one player for each line.
It's fun looking at the early results as the votes for now suggest only Tambellini, Comeau or Bergenheim should be the first line center, only one voted for Sim to play with the first line veterans, most have him on the third of fourth line.
Everything else is wide open.
Bergenheim was my first line left wing because he got in the corners and is the oldest with a good scoring touch, I think he has the most upside entering next season to have a breakout year.
Comeau was my second line left wing because I want him with Okposo on the right and his skills are maybe a year behind Bergenheim but is such a complete player and in three zones I do not want him any lower than my second line. A potential qusi/second line of Comeau-Comrie-Okposo should have a good impact.
Jon Sim was my third line left wing because he has produced at the NHL level and his speed should be a good fit with Sillinger-Hunter as a checking line.
Jeff Tambellini has to earn his spot and starts on my fourth line because I'm in this to win games and the other kids have had more impact. If I am coaching he is not handed a top six spot unless he outworks his competition and right now in my depth chart he has not been visible enough in games. He shows something for now he can challenge Sim's spot and get more minutes but a top six spot on my lineup is earned, not given out.
What do I mean by showing something? Creating some scoring chances and using his excellent hands and shot.
But that's only my take.

Entertainment Film Tech TV
Journey of personal discovery with Netflix – a one stop shop for diverse Asian content
ByNikhil Chawla
Aug 23, 2017 Entertainment, Movies, Netflix, Tv
Today, we have multiple options at our fingertips to consume content. More importantly, the quality of this content is such that we get eye opening experiences which ultimately expands our horizon. But old habits die hard, for we love to stick to the regulars – regular cuisine, regular clothes, and the regular movies & shows. More often than not we either watch select Indian shows or Western ones. What we don't realize is that we are missing out on amazing cultural gems from the countries around us.
Yes, yes, that show about grown-ups drinking coffee is ah-mazing but let's change directions for once, shall we? Sit up, and look up, for you can couch surf while sitting right there on your couch. Car chases, political dramas, action and adventure – a big round check! And, that's one way of describing the content of the continent you have left unexplored. Your local favorites are no doubt cool but you will be surprised to see that the Asian content is way cooler yet in many ways you will feel a sense of kinship. The question is whether you still want to remain within the fence or go exploring the Asian pastures. In this blessed month of August (read as the month of long weekends), let's embark on a journey of personal discovery with Netflix – a one stop shop for diverse Asian content like no other. What's even better is that you can do so without moving a finger!
Indian All The Way
All good deeds should begin at home. Therefore before embarking on a heady exploration of the continent, you should check out the hot stuff churned out by the Indian film landscape. Irrespective of the genre, you name it, we have it. So mind it! When call of duty brought back the retired encounter man in Ab Tak Chappan 2, drama is bound to happen. Speaking of drama, rom-com specialist Shahrukh Khan easily juggles multiple roles. One minute he is shooting off the bullets as Raees, and before you know he is helping Kaira untangle the knots of life and love in Dear Zindagi. If it is too much drama, then switch to Nila to get a glimpse of how complicated love can be.
Korean Drama Ahoy!
Deny it as much as you want, but we all secretly love to devour the awesome content from Korea. And as a fan of Korean movies, you can't afford to miss out the tale of an unlikely friendship that's Okja. Mija loves Okja, and would never let anyone, not even a powerful MNC hurt her best friend. Equally enamoring is Snowpiercer, with its post-apocalyptic setting and a brewing revolution at the horizon.
A Taste of Taiwanese Brilliance
A true movie lover's mark is that they are always open to exploring new avenues. Likewise, you can get a taste of Taiwan, courtesy Netflix. Friendships forged at a young age have a beauty of its own. It's pure and innocent of the evils reigning in the world. But if you are wondering how far one can go to reunite with old friends, The New World can help you find an answer. Also, there is no fun like fun with friends. Add to it a dollop of mystery and scandal and you will find yourself relating to the bunch in Close your Eyes Before It's Dark.
Japanese Fare on a Plate
All the talks of dieting and controlling food intake often makes one wonder – do we eat to live or should we live to eat? Well, if you watch Samurai Gourmet, you will see that Takeshi believes in the latter. For Takeshi, freedom is being able to get in touch with his inner warrior and rediscover his passion and love for food. And while we are on the topic of food, strangers have always been termed as a danger but at Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories, love for food is what connects strangers with each other.
A Chinese Affair
Not to stereotype but the Chinese know their martial arts well and have no qualms showcasing their skills on the big screen. A perfect blend of fantasy, adventure, and martial arts, watch Monk Comes Down the Mountain to catch the epic battle between a banished monk and an evil reincarnate. And how can any talk of martial arts be complete with Bruce Lee, for chrissakes! The Legend of Bruce Lee is your one stop shop for a glimpse of his amazing life and career.
That's quite a tour of the Asian mainland but if you hunker for more post this binge fest, worry not. There will always be something more for the movie lovers. Some Jackie Chan action maybe? Young Tiger should be a source of enjoyment for you – a taxi driver from Hong Kong zooming away from the gangsters chasing him. And end the tour with Waar, and watch how a retired intelligence officer comes to the rescue of his nation to thwart a looming terrorist attack.
Have a happy time enjoying these new finds!

Choosing the right type of insurance can be confusing but it's also an important decision.
It's mandatory and highly recommended to get travel insurance before embarking on any adventurous trips in Nepal. We advise all our clients to get a travel insurance that covers up emergency helicopter evacuation that may be needed in case of the occurrence of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) or any other reasons in high altitudes where there are no other means of transportation available. Medical expenses, Baggage lost, Delays and Cancellation, Death & Repatriation are also another important factor to include when purchasing your Insurance. It is advisable to review carefully the insurance and its coverages before making the final decision. Carry a proof of your insurance with you on the holiday and leave a copy next to your kin. You must ensure that your insurance provides adequate level of protection and covers you for the activities involved.
Below you will find some information and recommendation that might help you in getting your insurance sorted before you embark on your adventure.
If you have an annual policy, household insurer or an existing health insurance company, check with them first if they are able to offer you policy that covers your level of activity that you are undertaking as they are generally cheaper than getting new insurance. Kindly ensure that it covers the specific activities such a "Hiking'' for trekking holidays and ''rope mountaineering/climbing'' for climbing holidays.
Medical evacuation in remote places where there are no other means of transportation available can be really expensive. It's mandatory for all our clients to have insurance that covers emergency evacuation, medical and treatment. If your own insurance doesn't provide these coverages then we strongly urge you to consider it again and get yourself fully insured. It is also important to know how much coverage you have and under what circumstances the medical cover applies.
Things don't always go as planned and there may be some unexpected events that require you to cancel your trip. If you miss a flight/connecting fight or your flight is delayed, your policy can help, but only if the delay or missed flight is due to an Insured Event (Severe weather, natural disaster, hijacking, strike). Similarly, all the trip deposits paid are non-refundable in case of any events so having your insurance provide these coverages can be helpful. However, this coverage may vary as per the insurance companies so please read the policy wording carefully.
Most travel insurance will cover up to a certain dollar amount. They key lies in knowing how much you are covered for so kindly check with your insurance about the limit.
Trekking is ''Hiking'' in insurance terms and some policies cover up to 6000m whereas peak climbing/expedition are termed as ''guided/rope mountaineering'' in general insurance term. Check with your insurance if it covers your level of activity before purchasing.
Like most insurance policies, travel insurance has many exceptions. You should make note of any specific events or items that are excluded from your policy.


Customers may be verified for a $25 fee which will give the customer a blue check mark by his name which will let all the flirts know he is a paying customer and this usually awards the customer a lot more attention. Rightfully so of course as when Flirts see this check mark they are more likely to have more trust in putting in time chatting with you and are more likely to follow you back!
Paying $25 to be verified is also a great way to support the site as the script, graphics, etc are taken care of by one single Female site owner. Thank you.


Anfield is one of the few football stadiums known the world over by name alone. A traditional four cornered ground with stands close to the pitch and a famous atmosphere, the ground in fact initially played host to Liverpool's bitter local rivals Everton.
Having hosted Liverpool FC for nearly 125 years, the Main Stand was redeveloped ahead of the 2016-2017 season and both capacity and facilities were improved as a result. As host to one of England's most successful football teams, Anfield has a large museum and very popular stadium tours. Full hospitality is available on matchdays with corporate hosting, private hire and conference facilities at other times.
The stadium is worth a visit for anyone visiting the city of Liverpool, not just on matchdays. Anfield is also very close to Goodison Park, home to Everton FC, with a walk of just over half a mile required through Stanley Park to get there.
Anfield has four major stands, with away supporters sitting in the lower tier of the Anfield Road end. The best views can be found in the centre of either the Kenny Dalglish Stand or the Main Stand, but the best atmosphere by far is in the famous Kop.
The Kop – Roofed single tier, South-West facing end stand, holds 12,390 people. Named Spion Kop after the famous battle of the Boer War.
The Anfield Road End – Two tier North-East facing end stand holding 9,116 people including away fans. May be redeveloped adding a further 4,800 seats.
Main Stand – Redeveloped for the 2016/17 season adding a second tier and 8,500 new seats. The stand faces the North-West and contains the dugout, tunnel and dressing rooms as well as some new executive areas, hospitality and corporate seating.
Kenny Dalglish Stand – Two tier South-East facing side stand including hospitality suites and executive boxes. Holds 11,411 people, renamed from the Kemlyn Road stand in 1992 to celebrate the clubs centenary, then again ahead of the 2017-2018 season in recognition of the club's former player and manager Kenny Dalglish.
The ticket price situation at Anfield has long been a matter for discussion amongst supporters, with thousands protesting price hikes during the 2015-2016 season. Liverpool were playing Sunderland and leading 2-0 when vast swathes of supporters stood up and left in consternation at plans to raise the ticket prices. The Reds went on to draw 2-2, perhaps implying that fans can make a massive difference to a game. As a result of the protest the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, dropped their plans to raise ticket prices and made more effort to listen to supporters.
As with most top-clubs, how much you pay for your ticket depends entirely on where you're sitting and the competition you're hoping to watch. Champions League tickets are more expensive than League Cup games, for example. As well as abandoning their plans to raise prices during the 2015-2016 season, FSG also abandoned the tiered system of pricing that had been in place. As a result, you'll pay the same amount of money for a game against Sunderland as you will for Manchester United.
For adults prices range from £9 through to £59, with concessions paying between £9 and £44. Young adults will pay between £9 and £29.50, whilst juniors will pay £9 across the board. The problem is that there are limited junior tickets, meaning if you don't get one of the few £9 tickets then a junior will have to pay the same price as an adult. Owing to the popularity of Liverpool games, demand is such that access has been a real problem for supporters. It is something that the club is trying to deal with but it's not an easy fix.
Ticket availability is published on the Liverpool FC website. Liverpool FC very often sell out for Premier League and Champions League games in particular. You can become a member of the club, this will give you a fan card. Tickets are released preferably to fan card holders and/or season ticket holders who have attended a select number of games. Tickets can be digitally uploaded to a fan card reducing the need for a paper ticket, this also gives you some security should you lose your ticket.
We recommend you do not buy tickets from sellers outside the stadium, these are often fraudulent and this is against the clubs ticketing policy. If a game is sold out you may be able to buy tickets and packages from third sellers, some of whom are listed here.
Anfield is a traditional inner city residential area in the city of Liverpool and as a consequence transport links are not as developed as some other inner city stadiums.
Train: The closest national train station is Liverpool Lime street station in Liverpool's city centre. This is around 2 miles from the stadium and will take up to half an hour to walk. There is no local train station but you can catch the local northern line to Sandhills station and link up with the soccerbus service (buses run 2 hours prior to kick of and 50 minutes post-match).
Taxi: Form the city centre taxis take around 10 minutes with a distance of 2-3 miles.
By Car: The easierst way to get to Liverpool by north and south is via the M6 Motorway. If travelling from the north come off at Junc 28 and follow the A58. From the south and east come off at junction 21A of the M6 for the M62, follow the motorway to the end and then follow the A5058 (Queen's Drive). If coming from the west take the Mersey tunnel into the city centre and then follow signs for the stadium.
Bus: Liverpool has a comprehensive bus service with several routes running from the city centre (17, 26, 27 and 917), and other routes running from Bootle and Aigburth (68 and 168). Both the 14 and 19 run from the city and stop near the ground.
By Air: If you are flying Liverpool's John Lennon airport is 10 minutes from the ground. Take a taxi or take the 80A or 86A bus to Sandhills station and change to the soccer bus.
Anfield is so close to the city centre we recommend you stay in one of the city's numerous and famous hotels and commute to the ground.
Also known as the Beatles hotel, located in Liverpool's North John Street in the City Centre. Rooms start at £154/night based on two sharing. More details.
Located in Stanley Dock in one of the city's fabulous old converted warehouses. Rooms start at around £99 a night. More details.
There are plenty of places to stay on a budget. The Devonshire House Hotel on Liverpool's Edge Lane is perfect for those staying the night and as little as £42/night. More details.
Near the ground there are three particularly popular pubs. On match days these become very crowded and if you would like a quiet drink we recommend you stay in the city centre for your pre-match drink and travel to the stadium before kick-off.
Visible from the Kop, literally next to the ground. Great atmosphere with singing all the way up until kick off. Get in early if you want a pint.
Near the Anfield Road stand where away fans sit. This is a popular pub with traveling supporters, again busy but plenty of banter to keep you happy while waiting.
On the opposite corner to the Albert. This is a regulars pub but friendly enough to travelling home and away fans.
Despite its age Anfield is a thoroughly modern football ground. Since the current owners have decided to redevelop Anfield rather than move you can be assured both the stadium and the facilities will be clean and maintained. All stands have concourses with bars, toilets and match day programme sellers. Disabled access in all stands.
The club have a stadium shop located beneath the Kop stand, the museum and stadium tour can be accessed by the same entrance. The ticket office is located at the opposite end of the kop stand to the shop.
Around the ground there are plenty of cafes and Chinese chip shops for pre and post-game grub. For restaurants you will be better staying in the city centre where there is endless choice.
Liverpool cater to all forms of hospitality. Anfield boasts 32 executive suite boxes lining the boundary between the lower and upper tiers of the Centenary Stand. Anfield also has a number of pre-match and post-match lounges including the Centenary Club, the No 7 lounge, the No 8 Lounge, The Reds Bar and the Premier Club in the Centenary stand and the Boot Room Sports Café in the Kop stand. The new Main Stand has also added some further hospitality areas to the stadium.
There are also a series of off-site lounges included in some packages.
Prices vary a lot depending on the level of hospitality required and the fixture you would like to attend. Full hospitality packages include accommodation, pre and post-match lounge access and a 5 course meal at the ground.
Large Executive Boxes: Up to 22 guests in a private box, 5 course pre-match meal, half-time refreshments, dedicated host, match day gift, tv, wifi and more.
Sevens and Eights Lounge: Centenary stand matchday ticket, Four course buffet meal, half-time refreshments, matchday programme, betting facilities, cash bar, TV + Wifi.
The Boot Room Café (pre-match): Located in the Kop, package includes an upper Anfield Road match ticket, museum access, three course meal, former LFC player, matchday programme, cash bar, TV + Wifi.
The Boot Room Café (pre-match): As above with 2 course meal and no museum access.
The Reds Bar: Informal lounge, lower centenary ticket, main meal, tea and coffee, programme, TV/Wifi and cash bar.
The Anfield Dugout: Available on match-days this is part of the latest hospitality in the new Main Stand that comes with half time refreshment, car parking and match ticket.
Executive Lounge: Match day only, seating around the half way line in the middle tier of the main stand comes with 5 course lunch, comp bar and refreshments and all the other perks (programmes, former player visits, etc).
The 1892 Lounge: Another new Main Stand hospitality suite next to the Directors' box in the lower tier. This comes with a four course meal, full complimentary refreshments and visits from former players, etc.
Premium Lounge: Match day only, seating higher up in the Main Stand with 4-course lunch and other hospitality as described above.
Centenary Club: For matchdays, fans get a ticket in the upper centenary, a table in the Champions or European Lounge and a carvery lunch with half time refreshments and other niceties.
Liverpool FC and Anfield cater for private hire, conferences and non-matchday hospitality.
Anfield hosts meetings and business events using their 31 syndicate rooms and larger conferences in the Shanks, Paisley, Champions and European Lounges. The stadium can also host training events as well as banquets, dinners & lunches.
Anfield is licensed to hold civil weddings including the possibility to be married on the pitch. Private rooms can also be hired for anything from birthdays to children's parties and funerals.
Special events are also held at the stadium including evening events celebrating past players and glories as well as Christmas lunches, charity events and more. The club also provide 'The Anfield Experience' that includes a meal in an executive box, museum and tour as well meeting an LFC legend. 'The Ultimate Anfield Experience' also includes the option to train with coaches at the academy.
Tours of the stadium and grounds operate on a daily basis but not on bank holidays. Stadium tours last around one hour and are available between 10am-3pm, tours are available on match days although for limited time periods.
The Anfield museum celebrates the history of one of England's most successful football clubs. The Liverpool FC Story museum is open 7 days a week (9am-5pm) and on matchdays. Last admission one hour before closure or 45 minutes before kick-off.
Tickets can be purchased for a stadium tour and museum or museum only. Tickets available online or at the stadium. Third party packages are also available, some options are listed here.
Liverpool have called Anfield home for nearly 125 years. Nicknamed The Reds, Liverpool are one of England's most successful football clubs and Britain's most successful club in European competitions. The club were formed by Anfield owner John Houlding. Houlding was left with an empty stadium when Everton moved to Goodison and so decided to form Liverpool FC to occupy it.
In their history Liverpool have won over 40 major honours including 5 European Cups and 18 League titles and a raft of other trophies. Liverpool's most famous managers are Bill Shankly (1959-1974) and former player Bob Paisley (1974-1983) both of which the club now commemorate with embroidered gates and a bronze statue respectively. Between them they won 21 major honours.
Liverpool have also been blessed with some truly great players. To name just a few: Ian Rush (most goals – 346), Kenny Daglish (also later manager), Luis Suarez, Kevin Kegan, Alan Hansen, Ray Clemence, Phil Neal (most medals – 20), Graeme Souness (later manager, Ian Callaghan (appearance record – 857), Steven Gerard (most capped player – 114), roger Hunt, Robbie Fowler, etc., etc.
The club took on the anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' in the 1960's from the successful musical Carousel. The anthem is now played before every home game along with local favourite folk song 'Poor Scoucer Tommy'. All fans join in the anthem with scarfs held above their heads, a true experience to behold.
Anfield is synonymous with Liverpool football club but for the first seven years of its existence it in fact played host to Everton Football Club. The ground opened in 1884 seeing Everton beat Earlestown 5-0, however in 1891 Everton vacated the ground in a rent dispute and newly founded Liverpool moved in in 1892 beating Rotherham 7-0 in their opening game.
In 1892 Anfield, named after the borough of the city, could accommodate 20,000 supporters. A new stand was constructed in 1895 capable of holding 3000 fans (the present main stand) and this was followed by the Anfield road stand in 1903. After Liverpool won the league in 1906 another stand was built along the Walton Breck Road, nicknamed by a local journalist as the Spion Kop after the famous hill in South Africa where a Liverpool regiment lost a lot of men in Boer war.
In 1928 the kop was extended to hold a record 30,000 fans, all standing under an iron roof. In 1957 floodlights were added and first used in the local derby match against Everton. In 1963 the old Kemlyn Road stand was replaced by along with alterations to the Anfield road stand. In 1973 the Main Stan was demolished and replaced by a brand new seated stand. A second tier was added to the Kemlyn Road in 1992 adding more seats and executive spaces, it was then renamed the centenary stand celebrating 100 years of hosting Liverpool FC. Following the Hillsborough disaster and the Taylor report the stadium was converted to all seater by 1994. The bronze Shankly statue was erect in 1997, a two tier Anfield Road opened in 1998 and the Paisley Gates opened in 1999.
Following years of uncertainty about whether to open a new stadium or redevelop the decision was finally reached to add another tier to the main stand. The new stand opened for the 2016/17 season adding a further 8,500 seats and taking the total capacity up to 54,074. The first game in front of the new stand saw Liverpool convincingly see off the then Champions Leicester 4-1, this was the highest attendance match since 1977 played in front of 53,075 people.
The Club and it's owners also have planning permission to further redevelop the Anfield road stand adding a further 4,800 seats that would take the overall capacity to nearly 60,000. At this time the option has not been taken up, though if that changes we'll obviously let you know.

Ex-premier elected Algerian president; thousands prepare to march
AFP Algiers, Algeria Dec 13, 2019, 05.42 PM(IST)
Demonstrators shout slogans during a protest to reject the presidential election in Algiers, Algeria December 12, 2019. Photograph:( Reuters )
Authorities said 40 per cent of voters had taken part in Thursday's election, which state media cast as a high enough turnout to vindicate the decision to hold the poll in spite of a boycott.
Former Prime Minister Abdelmadjid Tebboune was elected Algeria's new president after a vote the authorities hope will end months of turmoil, but demonstrators who toppled his predecessor Abdelaziz Bouteflika vowed that their movement would not stop.
Tebboune, who served as housing minister under Bouteflika and briefly as premier before falling out with tycoons in the ex-leader's entourage, was announced on Friday as the winner of more than half the vote, making a second round unnecessary.
But protesters saw the contest between five officially sanctioned candidates as an illegitimate sham intended to keep the old ruling elite in place. Thousands of demonstrators were expected to take to the streets to protest against the result.
The authorities, including the powerful army, argue that the only way to move the country forward after demonstrators brought an end to Bouteflika's 20-year-rule in April is to elect a successor.
Weekly protests that toppled Bouteflika have not stopped, with demonstrators demanding the entire ruling elite cede power to a new generation, despite no obvious leader emerging to represent them. The protesters refer to themselves simply as "Hirak", or "the movement".
Tebboune's rivals included another former premier, two former ministers and a former member of the ruling party's central committee.
Protesters marched in cities and towns across Algeria throughout Thursday's election, in some places clashing with police, who tried to disperse them with baton charges.
Late on Thursday, the election body said some 9 million Algerians took part in the election.
"The turnout is satisfying and it will give the new president enough backing to implement his reforms," said Ahmed Mizab, a commentator on state television, saying it showed the decision to hold the elections was "propitious and right".
But Riad Mekersi, 24, who has participated in all the Hirak protests since February 22 in Algiers, said the movement will continue no matter who wins.
"We have toppled Bouteflika, and we will topple all the system's men. We won't give up," he said.
Even without questions over his legitimacy, Tebboune will face difficult times.
Nearly all Algerian state revenues come from oil and gas exports, which have declined in both price and volume in recent years. The government has already approved a 2020 budget with a 9 per cent cut in public spending, though politically sensitive subsidies remain untouched.

Forecast to be complete in the first quarter of 2017, the new center will expand the company's North American headquarters, adding 100,000 square feet to the currently 170,000-square-foot campus. The new training, R&D, and office buildings will bring up to 350 new positions to the dermatology and skin health company's headquarters, at an estimated price tag of $22 million.
"This expansion shows Galderma's commitment to both skin health innovation and the Fort Worth community," says Miles Harrison, general manager and president, Galderma North America, in a company news release. "It's a game changer in that it will allow us to double the number of staff at our North American headquarters, increase our talent, and concentrate on our one and only focus, providing for skin health needs at every stage of life."

One of the company's well-known consumer lines is Cetaphil and aesthetic injectables under the Restalane Silk and Restylane Lyft brand names.
"We are proud that Galderma chose to invest in R&D and expand its Fort Worth footprint," states Betsy Price, mayor of Fort Worth, in the release. "We appreciate the company's commitment to creating hundreds of new jobs here in Fort Worth and look forward to mutual continued growth and success in our city."

From Ottawa to the world: opening our thoughts, processes, standards and data
Web Foundation · June 12, 2015
Now that the Web Foundation team is back from the 3rd Annual International Open Data Conference in Ottawa (and recovered from our participation in eight side events and 11 conference sessions), we've compared notes and are ready to share some of our key takeaways:
1) It's time to lock in political commitment
One of the most exciting developments in Ottawa was the announcement of the International Open Data Charter. This could be a key milestone on the journey to secure true political commitment to open data. The Charter aims to be both high-level and practical. It will consist of a set of foundational principles for open data, as well as tools and guidelines for delivery through an 'implementation handbook'.
We were particularly glad to see the call for the Global South to play a key role in contributing to the charter. The organisers should be commended for committing a great proportion of the conference budget on travel support – with over 220 participants supported and global representation from over 70 countries. It is also essential that the charter must be shaped by participation beyond governments – with the NGOs, "civic tech activists" and the private sector playing a role.
The bones of the charter have already been sketched out in a draft format, with a transparent formation and feedback process open to all until July 31st 2015. We'll be playing a central role in driving this forward in the weeks and months ahead.
2) There is much work to do to ensure that "data revolution" will be an "open data revolution"
The "Data Revolution" was the topic of many conversations in Ottawa. This follows the UN's call for a data revolution in development data in August 2014, and the eagerly anticipated unveiling of the sustainable development goals in September.
IODC participants were united in their belief that 2015 will mark a turning point for development data – and most agreed that for the greatest positive impact on development, the data revolution must be an open data one.
But that's where the consensus ended. Many diverse challenges to reaching this goal were identified, including:
Difficulties uniting the multiple stakeholders with different agendas around a common goal
The shifting role of National Statistics Offices – ensuring they are well equipped to handle open data, and to verify and host data from sources other than traditional government departments.
Creating agreement around the critical role of standards
Ensuring citizen privacy is respected in the open data revolution.
Interesting ideas surfaced – such as the crowdfunding of projects to tackle the SDGs using open data – but there's not yet a clear path to action here. However, creating consensus and solutions as part of the International Open Data Charter process could prove a key tool here.
3) Evidence of impact remains elusive…but we're getting closer to agreeing how to measure it
Impact was one word on everyone's minds at IODC. Much of the consensus was that it remains too early to really see the impact of open data on development.
At IODC, we actively challenged this conventional wisdom, and will continue to do so. Our research lead, Savita Bailur pointed out in the Emerging Impacts panel, that there are two definitions of impact. The first is "to come into forcible contact with another object" and the second is "to have a strong effect on someone or something". We should consider managing the "shock to the system" that governments and other are dealing with at the same time as measuring and demonstrating the effects. We know that open data remains an embryonic tool for development, but the sooner we can demonstrate and measure impact, the faster we'll be able to scale up.
With this in mind, we were heartened to hear many in the community voice the opinion that now is the right time to think about how we measure impact. We support the call for inclusive collaboration among existing and emerging studies and organisations – it is common sense and will accelerate progress. Through collaboration, we can reach agreement among the different measurement initiatives, build an useful global evidence base on the top of an evolution of the Common Assessment Framework, and use a diverse range of methods from case studies to metrics. We must also recognise the role of open data as a small component in a bigger ecosystem (see this graph referenced by Becky Hogge, part of the Emerging Impacts panel).
Again – the measurement and implementation principles of the Open Data Charter could play a key role here.
We'll continue to work hard to ensure the concerns and needs of developing countries are central to the data revolution. As we've found in our ongoing Open Data in Developing Countries (ODDC) research programme, factors such as supply/use mismatch, lack of intermediaries, poor incentive structures for governments to open up data (and many others) need to be addressed. We also believe that two other issues the Web Foundation particularly champions – affordable internet access, and privacy – should be made more central to open data discussions.
Alongside the Open Data Charter, the most exciting outcome to emerge from IODC is the concept of a collaborative roadmap comprising 8 Action Areas. We look forward to this being produced by the end of this month, contributing to it equally in terms of policy formulation, enactment and research, and further ahead, to IODC 2016 in Spain.
The Web Foundation is grateful to the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC) – one of the hosts of the conference – for their support for a number of our projects mentioned in this blogpost. In particular, 'Exploring the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries' (ODDC) is funded by IDRC through grant 107075. The Web Foundation is also a partner alongside IDRC in the Open Data for Development network.

Ten Years of Living La Vida Loca
By M.C. King
LIST PRICE ₹516.00
The '90s were so money! Sit back and relive ten of the best years of your so-called life...
Presidential scandals, rap feuds, Baywatch -- the '90s had it all. It was the decade during which we first visited 90210 and had coffee with our Friends. We got on the Web and started to Google and lol. We learned that a show about nothing can definitely be something, and that men and women hail from different planets! (Who knew?) And for at least a second or two, we may have wondered whether the Blair Witch was real.
The perfect companion to E!'s 101 Reasons the '90s Ruled miniseries, this book relives memorable moments from a momentous decade. Every page will make you say, "Dude, I totally remember that." Unless, of course, you are very, very young (or don't call people dude). Packed with cool photos and irreverent commentary, 101 Reasons the '90s Ruled is Absolutely Fabulous.

Home Tips Flu Face: It's A Thing You Want To Avoid!
It's that time of the year again. As the cold winter months set upon us, we find ourselves crammed into heated spaces with an insane amount of germs floating around. Most of you probably haven't been sick yet, but you're bound to be at some point or another.
I hate to sound like a Debbie-downer but that's the truth of it all. Along with achieving the unwanted winter flu, you may find yourself looking worse than ever before. The common fights will consist of fighting off runny noses, dull gray skin, chapped lips, red noses, dark circles under eyes and more. The good news is that you can fight the ugly sight with just a small amount of effort.
There are a few things that you can and should be doing to help improve your looks while having the flu.
First thing is first, let's get rid of those dark circles under your eyes. Chances are you're not sleeping well and you're in desperate need of some antioxidants as quickly as possible. I'd suggest trying something a product like this to obtain those necessary antioxidants. That'll give your skin a boost and kick things off in the right direction.
The next thing that I would do is attack the nose which likely looks worse than Rudolph. One thing you need to be sure to do is to moisturize the heck out of it. Oh, and you need to do this while you're sleeping. Think about incorporating some sort of night cream or balm that's really effective in healing extra dry skin. You can find a list of them on this page.
It's important to incorporate this during the evening while you sleep so that you can get the best results. When you're awake, you're likely irritating the area and you can count on it getting worse if you don't put forth the effort to moisturize your skin.
The next thing that you want to tackle is your grayish looking skin. The combination of having the flu and dull-looking skin can really make you feel horrible. I know it sounds counter productive when sick but what you want to do is get some light exercise in to help increase blood circulation. You can also try incorporating a face mask to add some energy to your face.
One other thing that I want you to do is to invest in a good chapstick. So many people spend time licking their lips and it makes things far worse.
Last but not least, take some vitamin C. You could use the added vitamin C to boost your immune system and it's great for your skin. Oh, and if you're not eating healthy, then you need to start today. I've got a diet you can try, check this one out and let me know what you think of it.
If it were me, I'd go out and confirm that I have all these things available to use during the winter months. You never know when you're going to end up with the flu and it's better to be prepared than sorry!


The best tourist opportunities in Mozambique are located in the southern part of the country, especially near the city of Maputo. Aside from the warm breeze and moderate humidity, you may also notice the Coca-Cola ads painted onto the buildings facing Maputo's harbor. Tours lasting anywhere from five to thirty days are available through Mozambique Tours, which offers transport by water, horseback or flight. These can take you up the coast or into Mozambique's lush forest interior. Whether it's kayaking, camping, or horseback riding, Mozambique's climate, generosity, and laid-back attitude is ideal for escaping from reality. With low light pollution and clear skies in the country, you can get back in touch with nature. Try to lose your cell phone, PDA, or laptop before boarding your arriving flight.
do you know Mozambique well?


Militants disguised as soldiers opened fire on an annual Iranian military parade in the country's oil-rich southwest, killing at least 25 people and wounding over 60 in the deadliest terror attack to strike the country in nearly a decade.
The region's Arab separatists, once only known for nighttime attacks on unguarded oil pipelines, claimed responsibility for the brazen assault and Iranian officials appeared to believe the claim. Iran summoned diplomats from Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands early on Sunday for allegedly harbouring "members of the terrorist group" that launched the attack.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blamed regional countries and their "US masters" for funding and arming the separatists, issuing a stark warning as regional tensions remain high in the wake of the US withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal.
"Iran will respond swiftly and decisively in defense of Iranian lives," Mr Zarif wrote on Twitter.
"We suddenly realised that some armed people wearing fake military outfits started attacking the comrades from behind (the stage) and then opened fire on women and children," an unnamed wounded soldier told state TV. "They were just aimlessly shooting around and did not have a specific target."
"Their crime is a continuation of the conspiracies by the US-backed regimes in the region which have aimed at creating insecurity in our dear country," Mr Khamenei said in a statement. "However, to their dismay, the Iranian nation will persist on the noble and prideful path they have taken and will — like before — overcome all animosities."
Tensions have been on the rise between Iran and the US.
The Trump administration in May pulled out of the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, and since then has re-imposed sanctions that were eased under the deal. It also has steadily ramped up pressure on Iran to try to get it to stop what Washington calls "malign activities" in the region.
Despite that, the US government strongly condemned the attack and expressed its sympathy, saying that "the United States condemns all acts of terrorism and the loss of any innocent lives."
Initially, authorities described the assailants as "takfiri gunmen," a term previously used to describe ISIS.
Iran has been deeply involved in the fight against ISIS in Iraq and has aided embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad in his country's long war.
Hamid Baeidinejad, Iran's ambassador to the UK, called the channel's decision a "heinous act" in a post on Twitter and said his country would file a complaint with British authorities over the broadcast. Early Sunday, a Foreign Ministry statement quoting spokesman Bahram Qasemi similarly criticised Britain and said Danish and Dutch diplomats were told Iran "already warned" their governments about harbouring Arab separatists.
Yacoub Hor Al Tostari, a spokesman for the Arab Struggle Movement to Liberate Ahvaz, told the Associated Press that members of an umbrella group of Ahvazi activists his organisation leads carried out the attack.
The attack undermined the Iranian government "on the day it wants to give a message to the world that it is powerful and in control," Al Tostari said.
ISIS also claimed responsibility for the attack in a message on its Amaaq news agency, providing only an unverified and edited video of three men saying they were on the way to carry out the attack, without referring to the group. They also initially wrongly said the Ahvaz attack targeted Mr Rouhani, who was in Tehran. The militants have made a string of false claims in the wake of major defeats in Iraq and Syria.
In Tehran, Mr Rouhani watched a military parade that included ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel and US military bases in the Mideast. President Rouhani said the US withdraw from the nuclear deal was an attempt to get Iran to give up its military arsenal. United Nations inspectors say Iran is still complying with the deal, which saw it limit its nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
"Iran neither put its defensive arms aside nor lessens its defensive capabilities," Mr Rouhani said. "Iran will add to its defensive power day by day."
Meanwhile, Iranian Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesman for the armed forces, alleged without evidence that the four militants involved in Saturday's attack "were dependent to the intelligence services of the US and the Mossad" of Israel.
"They have been trained and organised in two Persian Gulf countries," he said, without elaborating.
Saturday's attack comes after a coordinated June 7, 2017 ISIS group assault on parliament and the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. At least 18 people were killed and more than 50 wounded.


April 12, 2019 6:02 PM "try again. Our servers are popping" More like "our profits are popping because we are too cheap to pay the meager amount it costs to rent a cloud space on Amazon, Google or Microsoft to serve a decent product" It's after 5 PM I click on the app I get an error message telling me "our servers are popping. Come back later" I'm paying hundreds of dollars for this?
This app prides itself on being exclusive but it's just like any other app. Most of the guys on here you can find on bumble. There's both white collar and blue collar workers. Hardly diverse in terms of ethnic backgrounds (even the league team isn't diverse, idk if they even know what the word really means) so expect to get majority of your batches looking the same. I'm assuming the app just doesn't have the interest from different backgrounds or the staff doesn't know how to gauge their interest. Looking at their staff, I'm not at all surprised. They should try to market this to upper class people, especially to upper class minorities to get them to join but they probably don't care or even know how. Also, they show new batches at 5pm which means a ton of people are on causing the app to slow down. After 30 minutes I still had issues connecting. Even tried their "troubleshooting" tips but my connection isn't the problem, it's the amount of users they have on at time same time. Be careful if you purchase tickets to see more batches. There have been instances where they took my tickets and didn't show me new matches... basically taking my money. Don't even bother spending any money on this app. The league is trash.
