News & Media > 2016 > Former PM of Iceland
Former Icelandic Prime Minister visits
Four questions with Geir H. Haarde '73, former Prime Minister of Iceland
It's a typical Tuesday at Brandeis International Business School. Professor Peter Petri has invited former student, Geir H. Haarde '73, to speak with his class about the 2008 financial crisis, global economics and energy policy. It just so happens that in addition to being a Brandeis alumnus, Haarde served as the Prime Minister of Iceland from 2006 to 2009 after serving as Finance Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1998 to 2006. In 2015, Haarde took on the role of Ambassador of Iceland to the U.S. We sat down with him to learn about his career in economics and politics and of course, to hear about his time at Brandeis.
How did you wind up at Brandeis?
It was an offer I couldn't refuse. I grew up in Iceland, and when it came time to decide on a college, I was offered a Wien Scholarship. I continue to feel indebted to the Wien family for the opportunities and experience that their generosity provided for me. It was the launching point for where I am today. Being a student at Brandeis was an excellent time in my life – I still fondly recall my time living in East Quad and eating in Kutz!
What's the most important lesson you took with you?
Don't discount your early connections. Even in my current position, I'm still finding my connections and network from "the old days" incredibly helpful. Peter [Petri] is a great example. I took his class in my last semester at Brandeis; it also happened to have been his first semester teaching there. Here we are over 40 years later, and we're still helping each other out.
Your time in the field has certainly added to your expertise. What advice do you have for students seeking a successful international career?
It's critical to understand that not everyone speaks English. Sure, it's important to solidify your business skills and have a grasp of quantitative methods, but understanding another language allows you to grasp the cultural history that defines a country, its ways of life and ultimately, its ways of doing business. It will pay off in the long run to immerse in the language and culture of the places you wish to succeed in.
Perhaps in our midst we have a future prime minister such as yourself. Any tips?
Today's economy needs leaders who are comfortable interacting with other nations in an amicable way. The beggar-thy-neighbor policies from the '30s are not the right way to go. International trade and investment are tools for growth. It's important to try to understand the other party's point of view in order to find a mutually beneficial deal for all involved. In politics as in life more generally, it is often necessary to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes.

Gallagher poses happily with Boss John V. Kenny (right), who declares that the congressman was a "victim of an outrageous assault – but I'm with him 100 percent." Only a true scholar of last-hurrah politics would have fully savored the irony of a few evenings ago as John V. Kenny, the most absolute political boss east of Richard J. Daley, stood outside a Bayonne, N.J. banquet hall, deferentially awaiting the arrival of the guest of honor, Representative Cornelius E. Gallagher.
Acolytes urged "J.V.K." - the"Little Guy," as he is fondly known in Hudson County Democratic circles - to go right on in and be seated at his place on the podium. Kenny resisted. "I am with Neil," he said icily, "and I want to march in with him." Gallagher arrived and-together with Bayonne's mayor, three treeholders, two councilmen from Bayonne and two from Elizabeththey marched into the hall to the moist-eyed applause of some 500 Gallagher admirers who had paid six dollars each to be present at this occasion. To them, he was no ordinary congressman but a big winner, a man who - until recently at least - was a hot prospect to become Speaker of the House and a potential governor of New Jersey. Two months had passed since publication in LIFE (Aug. 9) of details of Gallagher's close ties with another local celebrity, Joseph ("Joe Bayonne") Zicarelli, one of the most important international operators in Cosa Nostra - The Mob. LIFE had said that Congressman Gallagher interceded for Zicarelli in matters involving police interference with Bayonne gambling operations; that telephone conversation between Gallagher and the gangster had been monitored by authorities; that Gallagher had used his influence on Zicarelli's behalf in matters involving business interests in the Dominican Republic and on attempts to certify an illegal cancer drug; and that federal authorities helieved a story told by a notorious Mob murderer that he, the mobster, had on Zicarelli's order removed the body of a small-time Bayonne loanshark from the basement of Gallagher's home.
These disclosures had produced an immediate and almost fratricidal disunity in Hudson County political ranks. In the transcripts of the Zicarelli-Gallagher phone calls, for example, there had been a mention by the congressman of "getting a hold of the little guy in Jersey City" and telling him to "reach out" for a police official who was getting too eager. Hudson County newspapers leaped to the assumption that Gallagher had been talking about John V. Kenny. J.V.K., reportedly furious with Gallagher, permitted his chief political aide to publicly threaten withdrawal of party support unless Gallagher immediately sued LIFE for libel.
Instead, Gallagher launched a wild, contradictory barrage of shirttails-afire statements - he didn't know Zicarelli; he'd talked with Zicarelli about getting the latter's son into medical school; Zicarelli had called him to tell him about Russian infiltration of Castro Cuba; LIFE was a malicious liar, and Hudson County Democrats who now were walking away from him were "political hypocrites."
As this issue goes to press, Congressman Gallagher has filed no legal action. But Kenny, his anger cooled and his shrewd sense of political reality apparently restored, is resolutely on record: "Gallagher's going to run, and I'm going to support him, and he's going to win."
If the Little Guy's cynical evaluation of the voters in his realm is accurate - and few of them, Democrats or Republicans, seem inclined to argue it - Cornelius Gallagher will return to Congress for another two years. His questionable record is therefore more than ever of immediate interest, and LIFE here sets down another chapter of it-in plenty of time for Representative Gallagher to respond before election.
This chapter is about Gallagher's relations with one of the slickest swindlers of the decade, Anthony De Angelis, villain of the Great Salad Oil Swindle. It was an astonishing involvement for a congressman of Gallagher's standing.

Malema congratulates Ramaphosa on 50/50 gender spilt cabinet
Nomsa Mdhluli | @SABCNews
EFF Leader Julius Malema is angered by the return of Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan.
Julius Malema
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has congratulated President Cyril Ramaphosa for achieving the 50/50 gender split in his new Cabinet.
Ramaphosa announced a 28 member cabinet with 34 deputy ministers. Half of the ministers are women.
However, the EFF is angered by the return of Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan after the Public Protector found him guilty of misconduct in the 2010 Ivan Pillay pension payout matter.
Malema says Ramaphosa had no choice, but to appease African National Congress (ANC) factions.
"And we have seen the return of Bosasa people like Gwede Mantashe, Thabang Makwetla. Those are the people you don't need in the so-called new dawn. The only positive thing about the whole cabinet is that we've got 50/50 men and women. That's a positive welcome, but the whole achievement gets undermined by the fact that the Cabinet remains bloated and it's going to cost South Africans a lot of money. There was no way he was going to reduce Cabinet because he wants to balance factions," says Malema.

Supplementary Material for: Mild Cognitive Impairment and Progression to Dementia in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
2017-09-08T13:29:48Z (GMT) by Pilotto A. Gazzina S. Benussi A. Manes M. Dell'Era V. Cristillo V. Cosseddu M. Turrone R. Alberici A. Padovani A. Borroni B.
Background: Cognitive deficits are common in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), but their relevance and the progression to dementia are still poorly described. The recently revised criteria for PSP consider cognitive dysfunction in the diagnostic work-up. Methods: The study retrospectively evaluated a series of 99 PSP patients with Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS), subgrouped according to cognitive and behavioural performances into PSP with normal cognition (PSP-NC), PSP with mild cognitive impairment (PSP-MCI), and PSP with dementia (PSP-D). The progression to dementia at the 3-year follow-up was assessed. Results: At baseline, 15.2% of patients were classified as PSP-NC, 43.4% as PSP-MCI, and 41.4% as PSP-D. During the 3-year follow-up, 21 out of 29 patients, previously classified as PSP-NC or PSP-MCI, converted to dementia, with an incidence rate of 241 per 1,000 patients/year. Nineteen out of 21 PSP patients (90%) developed the behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia phenotype. The only factor associated with conversion to dementia was MCI diagnosis at baseline (p = 0.023). Conclusion: Cognitive decline occurs in a great proportion of PSP-RS patients early during the disease course. In the absence of a specific phenotype, the diagnosis of MCI might identify PSP patients at greatest risk of developing dementia and should be considered further in the diagnostic assessment.

Yesterday, after doing some stuff on windows server remotely, I disconnected the session and later when I logged in, it just showed me a blue screen. No icons, taskbar nothing. I waited for long thinking that server might be under heavy load, but there wasn't any change even after like an hour. The only option is to reboot the server, but how? Ctrl+Alt+Del wont work on remote session. That's when another key combination helped which is Ctrl+Alt+End. This brings the same prompt on remote session when you type Ctrl+Alt+Del on your local XP or 2kX.
So, after clicking those key combination, you can reboot the server. That really helped, otherwise, its annoying to call up the data center and ask them to reboot the server and wait for like 2 or 3 hrs.
The month of March was a mix of everything for me.. Hectic work schedule, birthdays, anniversary, decorating houses, going to relatives place and bit of traveling here and there. Altogether, it was a month with ups and downs… But I loved it..

Nvidia announces Mercedes self-driving deal
by Fuad Abazovic on08 January 2017
Gets Audi too
Who would have thought that people who are covering computer graphics would start writing about the automotive industry. Each car of the future is going to get a self-driving ADAS system, powered by a SoC that is wrapped around a strong CPU and GPU. Nvidia announced at CES 2017 that it just scored both Mercedes and Audi automotive deals.
In the past week, Nvidia announced that it scored an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) deal with both Audi and Mercedes, both known as premium car manufacturers. Nvidia already announced that each Tesla S and the future model 3s are coming with the Nvidia Drive PX platform.
Audi plans to put advanced AI cars on the road starting 2020. Nvidia's founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, joined on stage by Audi of America President Scott Keogh, announced that the future Audi car models will use deep learning to tackle the complexities of driving.
Jen-Hsun Huang said: "NVIDIA is pioneering the use of deep learning AI to revolutionize transportation. Audi's adoption of our DRIVE computing platform for AI cars will accelerate the introduction of next-generation autonomous vehicles, moving us closer to a future of higher driving safety and new mobility services."
The President of Audi America Scott Keogh added: "Audi drivers know the pinnacle of performance and technology. In our mutual pursuit for safer roads, the partnership between Audi and NVIDIA will expand to deep learning and artificial intelligence to bring higher automation onto the road more quickly."
Audi showed the Audi Q7 car with a piloted driving concept at CES 2017 but we didn't get time to experience it. Passengers will be able to ride in the vehicle's back seat, with no one behind the wheel.
Being European, it hurts me to say that Mercedes and Audi are not the most reliable cars on the street but they definitely offer quite a lot of comfort that comes at a price. Fudzilla invested a vast amount of time studying and researching about ADAS, automotive self-driving systems and solutions, LIDAR, camera systems and sensors that will one day drive us on the streets of western civilization.
The self-driving revolution starts in 2020, which is only three years from now. We've seen a vast majority of AI cars on the street from Google and Nvidia to Audi, Uber and dozen other car and IT companies.
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang and Mercedes-Benz Vice President of Digital Vehicle and Mobility, Sajjad Kahn went on stage at Mercedes-Benz Booth announcing that both companies plan to work closely together on the self-driving car.
Outfitted with a DRIVE PX 2 and running NVIDIA DriveWorks software, the Q7 uses deep neural networks -- specifically, NVIDIA PilotNet, which recognizes and understands its changing environment while driving safely. Audi is one of the first companies to use Nvidia solutions in an automotive for infotainment MMI navigation as well as the virtual cockpit. Still, the fact that Nvidia lost the world's biggest car manufacturer VW, Volkswagen, to Qualcomm, implies that Qualcomm is in much better shape to compete than it was originally. There will be a lot of competition in this market and Intel and MediaTek want a piece of the automotive action too.

SelfBuild Guides
Roofs and Roofing
If you're building a new house or extension then the roof is perhaps the most important element of the design in terms of appearance, function, energy efficiency and outlay.
A flat roof combined with a cantilevered pitched-roof wing on this modern new build
An architect or designer will be able to advise on suitable roof shapes and coverings for your home, ideally creating realistic computer graphics to help envisage the end result in relation to neighbouring properties.
The overall effect of the roofscape should be considered, including the shape, colour, chimneys, rainwater goods and overhangs. Complicated roof shapes can be attractive but may appear overly fussy on a relatively small area, can prove expensive, and may create maintenance problems.
Height restrictions are a common problem, which can be overcome by building the upper storey of a house projecting into the roof space, producing sloping ceilings in the rooms directly below. This can add character, but also creates a degree of dead space towards the outer edges of a room, where head height is limited.
The pitch of a roof is particularly important and may potentially rule out certain roof coverings as unsuitable, in terms of weight or fixings.
A typical roof pitch in the UK is between 40 and 50 degrees, although they can be less or much greater.
The elements that make up a roof
Roof types
Classic pitched design, made up from two inclined roof planes forming an inverted V-shape. They are simple to build, shed rainwater easily, and create more interior space for attics or vaulted ceilings.
A variation of the gable, with slopes on all four sides. These planes meet at the ridge, making them sturdy and durable.
A classic design, which is essentially a gable roof with bent planes. These four-sided roofs have a double slope on each side which meet, forming a low-pitched roof and creating additional living space. The sides can either be flat or curved and the lower slope is much steeper than the upper.
Simply constructed and found on contemporary homes and extensions - keeping the new structure low to preserve views from upstairs windows and avoid overshadowing. They consist of one horizontal plane, with a low angle of inclination to ensure effective water drainage and avoid leaks.
Flat roofs are often less expensive to install than pitched roofs and may be finished in traditional roofing felt, rubber, a single-ply membrane, glass fibre or metal. If visible from upper windows, then a planted roof is an attractive option.
Lean-to, monopitch and skillion
These are 'flat' roofs angled at more than 15 degrees.
Two lean-to roofs which aren't positioned symmetrically, create a contemporary appearance and as the roof planes are at different heights a vertical opening appears which may be glazed to bring in light.
Made up of two skillions, the roof angles downwards towards the centre, giving the impression of wings.
Repair and replacement
Planning permission isn't usually required for re-roofing your house, subject to certain conditions, which can be found on the planning portal website.
If you're repairing or replacing less than 25 per cent of a roof you won't need to submit a Building Regulations application.
If the new roof covering is significantly heavier or lighter than the existing one, the roof structure may require modifying or strengthening, and a structural engineer or surveyor should advise you before work begins. For larger repairs or replacement roofs the thermal insulation will usually have to be improved to meet current regulations.
Many houses built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s were roofed in ugly, poor-quality concrete tiles. Changing these can totally transform the appearance of a house and homeowners are increasingly choosing this option for the aesthetic appeal alone – regardless of whether the roof actually needs to be replaced. Others go one step further and totally alter the shape and pitch of their roof, which can involve major structural work.
Changing your roof can be both expensive and disruptive, but it can also have a huge impact on the overall look of a house.
Some roofs will last for more than 100 years, others will deteriorate after 40 or less, depending on the roof covering, the location of the house and the workmanship.
It's not usually advisable to undertake major roofing work on a DIY basis. Go to the National Federation of Roofing Contractors website to find a reputable roofer in your area.
Cut roofs
Traditionally measured, cut and assembled on site using rafters and joists. This is a relatively expensive and time-consuming process, but the finished structure may be easily altered or converted into living space later.
Trussed roof (FINK)
Delivered to site complete for simple erection as a series of frames, these can't easily be altered. An inexpensive form of construction best suited for simple designs to avoid complex carpentry, but now largely shunned by selfbuilders, who want to maximise the livable space of their new home.
Attic trusses
These maintain the speed of erection achieved with a pre-manufactured roof truss and allow the roof space to be utilised by leaving the main loft area open. Ideal for complex roof shapes and difficult access but are heavier and more expensive than fink trusses.
Laminated timber beams and I-profile rafters
Stronger, lighter, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than solid timber, and may be used for large spans.
Green oak
If you want to create a dramatic feature an oak structure with cruck beams is truly impressive.
These arrive on site pre-cut, with the insulation already fitted, and span from wall to ridge beam, usually without any further support.
As the structure doesn't require roof trusses there is space for a well-insulated and habitable room in the roof, which can be left completely open to be used as further accommodation, storage or to form a vaulted ceiling. This makes SIPs well-suited for roof construction for new builds, extensions or replacement roofs – potentially providing an additional 25 per cent of floor space at no additional cost.
SIPs can potentially provide an additional 25 per cent of floor space at no additional cost.
The roof of a new home can be covered in anything from turf to metal, shingles or glass, as well as more traditional slates or tiles, with fantastic eye-catching shapes, roof lanterns and possibly solar panels.
A prefinished steel standing seam roof
Emphasis is often placed on selecting the type and colour of roof covering which will satisfy the planners, and it's important to choose this prior to felting and battening, as the spacing of the battens is set by the gauge of slate or tile and varies considerably.
Typical costs for re-roofing a three-bedroom detached house can cost from around £6,000 for concrete tiles, £12,000 for natural slate or clay tiles and £16,000 for thatch. Metal roofing is usually the costliest at £20,000 or more.
Prices will vary depending on where you live, the shape, size and pitch of the roof, who undertakes the work and other variables.
Try to see your chosen roofing in person, rather than just from a catalogue, and wet any samples to see how they will look in the rain, as colours can change dramatically.
Perfect for both traditional and contemporary homes, and are a mid-priced option, with Welsh slate being one of the more expensive choices compared to imported slates from Spain, China and Brazil.
Handmade clay tiles
Beautiful but more expensive than machine-made versions. It's also possible to buy replica slates or clay tiles, which are cheaper and can look very convincing.
Around 20 per cent cheaper than clay but won't weather or improve with age.
If you're building in a stone belt, such as the Cotswolds, the planners may insist you use local materials.
Reconstituted stone
A less expensive stone tile alternative.
Zinc or copper is usually a contemporary choice and comes in flexible sheet form, making it ideal for curves or flat roofs. Zinc forms a protective patina, so it won't rust and is resilient, fire-proof, maintenance-free and recyclable. Left to patinate, natural grey zinc will turn lighter as it ages, or it can be finished in a range of colours. Specify matching guttering and downpipes for a unified finish.
Standing seam roof
Prefinished steel standing seam roofing is becoming popular. The system from Colorcoat Urban consists of flat metal panels with upstanding seams that interlock with the next panel to create a weather resistant seal.

It can be installed at pitches of just five degrees to create headroom in attics or to reduce ridge height, while offering a wide range of roof profiles from simple mono-pitch and saltbox-style roofs, to more complex designs including clerestory, butterfly and double-pitched M-shaped roofs.
Mainly used for restoring and replacing existing roofs, as few are built from scratch. The house is usually designed around the roof, which is expensive and requires regular upkeep. The National Society of Master Thatchers holds a directory of members.
Particularly useful where windows are small or restricted, and are ideal for new extensions, which are often single storey. Instead of a standard framed roof light, consider glazing a larger area using structural glass to bring light into the heart of a room and create a talking point.
Heat loss is a major consideration when installing a glass roof, which will need to meet Building Regulations requirements for energy efficiency, structural stability and fire safety.
Structural glass is heavy and will need adequate support, careful measuring and installation. An architect, structural engineer or glazing company can advise.

It's possible to install completely seamless, frameless glass roofs to enjoy unobstructed views, but it may be advisable to fit remote-controlled blackout blinds to bedroom roof glazing. Choosing self-cleaning glass means that any debris will be washed away in the rain, and an opening roof light may be needed during warm weather in more enclosed spaces.
Turn a flat roof into part of the landscape which can provide a variety of colour throughout the year, depending on the plants grown. Popular choices are sedum or wildflower mixes, which need little or no maintenance other than watering in extremely dry weather and are available as pre-planted mats specifically designed for roofs. Plan the design early on so that the roof structure can support the weight of the soil and will be built at the correct angle to prevent slippage - it is not recommended that a green roof is built on a slope of over 10° without specialist advice. An experienced roofing company should be able to advise and quote for the work, which will include a layer of waterproof membrane that is also root resistant to protect the structure below, and appropriate drainage to prevent the roof becoming saturated.
Roofing Top Tips
With any roofing it is important to consider who will actually be undertaking the work and the amount of skill and experience required.
Never buy from a catalogue without first seeing samples, and try to view the chosen product in place on a roof before you make your final decision.
A single slate or tile can look very different from an entire roof, viewed from the ground. Also make sure you wet any sample roof covering to see how they'll look in the rain, as the colour can change dramatically.

What would it mean for Inter to beat Milan in Sunday's Derby della Madonnina?
What are the differences between playing for Inter and playing for Roma?
Why do you dislike Juventus so much?
What's happened to your mohawk?
And what's it like sleeping at the training ground with Luciano Spalletti?
If you've ever wished you could sit down with Radja Nainggolan and ask him some of those questions, you're in luck: that's exactly what the Gazzetta dello Sport did with the Ninja this week, as part of their buildup to the big match at San Siro.
Gazzetta dello Sport, 17 Oct 2018, p. 2-3.
True to form, Radja had plenty to say and didn't hide away from saying it: as we know, he's not one to beat around the bush. Which makes him all the more interesting for us.
Will Ninja be Inter's magic man on Sunday? One can only hope. In the meantime, let's see what's on his mind on the eve of the derby.
Radja, how are you feeling ahead of the derby?
"I'm pretty calm. The ability to prepare every match in the same manner is one of my virtues.
"I'm curious to play in my first Milan derby, though: they're the matches I enjoy. You can tell how much is on the line."

How does it compare to the Rome derby?
"There are a few fans who stop me in the street asking me to play well, but here it's much calmer.
"In Rome the encounters with supporters were endless, and if you lost they'd still be reminding you about it two months later.
"Spalletti keeps telling me that the two games against Milan are worth an entire season. I'm sure the noise inside the stadium will be awesome."
Does it feel like you're on the brink of a turning point in Inter's season?
"Winning six games in a row has given us confidence. We're a good team but we still need to improve."
Where do you need to improve?
"We need to make less hard work of winning. It's good to grind wins out sometimes - victories like the one against SPAL are very important. But you need a comfortable win every so often."
Are Inter a better team than Milan?
"We have many players who are of a higher level. But I've seen Milan's last few games and I think they're a very good team, who'll cause us plenty of problems."
Is it too simplistic to depict the derby as Mauro Icardi vs Gonzalo Higuaín?
"Higuain moves around the pitch and plays with his teammates more, but I wouldn't swap him with Mauro.
"He only needs half a chance in the box and he'll score, that's what he lives for."
Let's imagine Spalletti tells you on Saturday that you'll be on the bench: what do you say?
"OK boss, no problem... [laughter]. What can I say - I don't tend to sit out these kinds of games."
Would you rather beat Milan on Sunday or Barcelona on Wednesday?
"Do I really have to choose?
"I said this to a friend the other day: if I lose both derbies but at the end of the season I reach the Champions League and Milan finish fifth, I'm happy all the same."
Which Milan player would you want on your team?
"Bonaventura. He has good technique, he's intelligent and he knows how to make the difference."
Do you wish you'd faced Gattuso as a player?
"I did play him once, when I was at Cagliari. He won everything with Milan, I'd have liked to face him with a top team like Inter are today."
Spalletti keeps telling us: 'Nainggolan is giving us three or four moments of magic per game, but normally he provides 20-30.'
"I know what he wants from me. I've paid the price of getting injured [during pre-season] but I'm getting close to full fitness now."
What was it like spending all those nights with him inside Roma's training ground?
"One day he took me to one side and said: 'We need to change something here. I want to protect you, you need to stay here at the training ground for a few days.'
"I said: 'OK then, I'll do that.' I turned up and he was there waiting for me.
"I was surprised but it was very pleasing: he'd given up his free time to stay with me. He knows how to handle me.
"Of course, I have my flaws, but I like living life to the full."
It's a bit of a risky philosophy...
"I'll give you an example: I'm always full of adrenaline after a match. I find it impossible to sleep.
"So with that in mind, instead of watching TV until 5am why can't I go out with my friends? I find it much more relaxing and I wouldn't be sleeping if I were at home anyway."
There are other leagues, such as the Premier League, where people pay less attention to what players get up to in their free time. Have you never been tempted by a move there?
"I had the chance a couple of years ago [when Antonio Conte wanted him at Chelsea], but it would have been a real change in culture. I've always made my decisions based on the quality of living."

When it came to leaving Roma in the summer, though, you had no choice.
"It wasn't my fault that my time at Roma came to an end, at least not completely.
"I was disappointed about a few things they did that as a man I cannot accept.
"I made mistakes for sure, like that video of me partying on New Year's Eve... but they decided everything without telling me anything. Real men speak face to face.
"Roma wanted to sell me to raise money. They reached agreements with a few overseas clubs that I would never have moved to and I only found out afterwards.
"They treated me like an unimportant player, and they did everything behind my back. At that moment Spalletti called me and I didn't need to think twice.
"I had some regrets at the start but I've had an incredible welcome here at Inter."
What differences are there between the two clubs?
"Inter are a very organised club. They know what they're doing and everyone has a presence: Steven Zhang is always here.
"At Roma the president turns up once a year... and I think people should always be present in the businesses they own.
New adventure has started... @inter
A post shared by Radja Nainggolan (@radja_nainggolan_l4) on Jun 26, 2018 at 8:30am PDT
"It's important for the fans as well: every year they sell off three or four key players. Perhaps if the president was on the scene he'd be able to explain why the club took certain decisions."
Going back to Spalletti, how did he convince you to start playing as a trequartista?
"He never spoke to me about being a trequartista. He told me: 'you will be our extra midfielder.' He was worried that if he called me a trequartista I would have stopped tracking back."
Do you feel like the leader of this Inter side?
"I'm a leader by nature, especially when the going gets tough.
"It's when you're not winning that you need to be an example for your teammates, get stuck in more and give people an extra reason to keep believing."
Are Juventus in a league of their own?
"They're great, they've been winning for seven years. But it's a long season and there haven't been that many head-to-head matches so far.
"At the moment we're behind so we have to make sure we make as few mistakes as possible. They're the ones with all the pressure, we need to make sure that they know we're ready to pounce when they slip up."
Where does your dislike for Juventus come from?
"I've received so much stick and after a while you just can't ignore it anymore."
The Juventus fans would say that you don't like them because they've never wanted you.
"They tried to sign me for five summers running! I've always said no to them and perhaps that's why they still have a problem with me."

What does Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival mean for Italy?
"It's an opportunity to give more visibility to a league that's lost a lot of it. And it's an extra incentive for us who want to try and beat him."
Ronaldo or Messi?
"I choose Leo. Cristiano needs the team around him whereas Messi can dribble past four or five players and win games on his own."
You knocked him out of the Champions League last season though...
"There was something strange in the air that night. Juan Jesus had the game of his life against Messi, the fans were up for it, Dzeko scored immediately...
"Roma-Barcelona was the most exciting match of my entire career."
What does the Champions League mean to you?
"In a way it's easier to play in the Champions League than in Serie A. You have six games in the group stage and everyone is playing to win.
"In Italy, everyone puts 10 men behind the ball and it can be a real struggle."
How many tattoos are you up to now?
"I don't know, I've lost count. My first one was a star: I only got it so I could feel how painful it was."
Where's your mohawk gone?
"Enough. I'm 30 now, you won't see it anymore. I kept it for a long time and it was great to see all the kids copying my hairstyle."
Where do you see yourself in 10 years' time?
"In Rome, because that's where I want to raise my kids."
What's it like living in Milan?
"It's very comfortable here.
"Whenever I wanted to go to the Casal Palocco in Rome it would take me over an hour, whereas here you can get anywhere in 20 minutes.
"It's all more organised, the traffic... and the traffic lights [laughter]. They had a fashion week here recently and I had a great time."
Is Nicolò Barella really your natural successor?
"I see a lot of myself in him. Did you see his debut for Italy?"
Who's the best player you've ever played with?
"It would be too easy to say Totti. I'm thinking of Pjanic, because Juventus aren't the same team without him.

"And then there's Maicon: you'd watch him and you'd think 'how the f*** does he do that?'"
Would signing Luka Modric have been enough for Inter to close the gap to Juventus?
"He's the best midfielder in the world, but first I'd like to play together with him... in any case, I'm happy with the teammates I have now."
Did you ever ask Javier Zanetti for his no. 4 shirt?
"Ha, I did make the joke but he didn't respond."
Will Inter be the last team you play for in your career?
"I've already got my future clear in my mind. They could be... not least because I don't think I'll play on for much longer. I won't want anything to do with football in 10 years' time.
"There are too many people in this world who aren't direct, it's not the right place for me. For the moment though I'm still enjoying myself, I still get excited."


When I can, I make bespoke silver jewellery. It's my happy fix.
6 years ago I was fit and healthy, with an active social life and several craft projects on the go. I loved going out and meeting up with friends for a bit of shopping, and I thoroughly enjoyed my job. Two weeks before my daughter's wedding I went down with a virus infection, that I just couldn't shake off. I had to give up swimming my 40 plus lengths 3 to 4 times a week. I had no energy and couldn't breathe properly with a constant cough, sore throat, and had all the flu like symptoms of heavy lead muscles, rusty joints and constant headaches, to name a few. Welcome aboard the GP/Specialist Express!
I can't remember all the Doctors, I do remember all the blood that was taken. All results came back negative & one specialist told me to see a psychologist as it was all in my head! Then in early 2013 a specialist in London diagnosed a genetic immune problem and referred me to a lung specialist for the cough. Later that year I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis, my lungs damaged due to the persistent infections. Diagnosis was a huge relief, as now they could treat it and make me feel better. I initially responded well to the huge doses of antibiotics and the cough went away, but I felt worse. Within 2 to 3 weeks of stopping the antibiotics, I would get another lung infection. Back on the Specialist Express, more hospitals and tests – again all negative. In 2014 I was finally prescribed 2 different antibiotics for long term use. Although they generally keep the lung infections at bay they tend to emphasise all the other symptoms. Late in 2015 I was also diagnosed with ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy).
I now manage my diseases. I am fortunate that for now I can still work full time, though some days, weeks it is really tough going. Weekends are for recovery, so I can go back to work on Monday. I have a great job, working with good people and it gets me out of bed in the mornings. When I have a tiny bit of extra energy I make bespoke silver jewellery. I set myself goals and work from piece to piece. I still enjoy visits with family and friends, just not as often, as I find it quite exhausting. It's all about managing my energy – if I do this activity, I won't have the energy to do something else.
Laughter helps me deal with the pain. I am thankful my life is relatively good, there are many people out there who are far worse off.


Tina absently tapped on the wet car window with her left hand while her right busily tapped on her IPhone watching the mad dance of the Bitcoin trading.
Tooky pouted while Tina continued her increasingly frantic phone taps. Her phone suddenly beeped and flashed a screenful of reds.
As horror crept into her already grey visage, Tina suddenly slumped in the seat.
Great topical tale Lavanya. Bursting of Bitcoin bubble will shatter many dreams for sure.
What a wow take on the prompt, Lavs! Bitcoins are supposed to be the future currency, I'd better learn all that is know about them, to avoid seeing reds!

The Grand Market was hotter the second time around, both in temperature and turnout. This past Sunday, the hosts, Socially Jen & Co and Hex, picked an art fair, vintage market, and multiple local boutiques, arranged them together in a beautiful street festival bouquet, and displayed the arrangement along Locust street.
Oftentimes the best of St. Louis is spread out across the city, but you can have your own brewery crawl right here in Midtown Alley. With three of the hottest craft breweries within three blocks of one another, we do our part in making St. Louis the number one beer scene in the country.
Can't decide between the best BBQ and the best fried chicken for dinner? In Midtown Alley you don't have to. Pappy's Smokehouse and Southern sit side-by-side, both on Olive Blvd. and on almost any "Best in St. Louis" listicle. So happy #NationalBarbecueDay— we know where we'll be celebrating.
Over the last decade, developer Jassen Johnson expanded Midtown Alley one building at a time. The slow and steady growth allowed for the former industrial automobile row to be curated into the unique, hip design district it is today.
After months of hype and press, Hugo's Pizzeria is finally opening in Midtown Alley, just two blocks away from another one of Bailey's restaurants, Small Batch. Hugo's will bring the Bailey's St. Louis restaurant count up to eight.
While actually located just outside our Design District in Grand Center, we have a special place in our hearts for ANEW Rooftop Venue and Test Kitchen and therefore include them in our Midtown Alley family. ANEW celebrated summer in St. Louis style with live music, an outdoor patio, and amazing food and drink. The evening was heavy with salty and sweet snacks and the sounds of Kim Massie's beautiful vocals rather than the usual St. Louis humidity.
Mothering is present in their agency in every way from the name (Mother Model Management) to how they care for and develop their models until they are ready to take on New York and even the international modeling market. The Clarke's are responsible for household names such as Ashton Kutcher and Karlie Kloss, along with fashion industry stars like Alanna Arrington, Myla Dalbesio, and Grace Hartzel. While their agency is the outlier in the Midtown Alley lineup of design and marketing agencies, there is really no one in the industry like the Clarkes.
Thanks to everyone for joining us at The Grand Market on Sunday. We had a lot of fun exploring the new .ZACH building and trying out the amazing breakfast and lunch options at Turn. It was great to see so many people enjoying the folk music, food trucks, fashion, and of course Midtown Alley.


The CircuitBreaker is used to provide stability and prevent cascading failures in distributed systems.
The CircuitBreaker works with both Sync and Async type class instances.
If the F[_] type used implements Async, then the CircuitBreaker gains the ability to wait for it to be closed, via awaitClose.
Generally it's best if tasks are retried with an exponential back-off strategy for async tasks.
Be careful when doing this, plan carefully, because you might end up with the "thundering herd problem".

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are said to be leaving WWE after rejecting big contracts. They rejected the contracts because they weren't being used and now they're not working at all. At least they get some quality time at home.
Karl Anderson sent out a rather interesting Instagram message with himself and Luke Gallows standing next to a WWE logo. This is a photoshopped image where they are looking directly at the logo. It also included some cryptic text to go with the photo.
#TheBoys are fortunate to come from a loyal fan base that's always had our backs.
Anderson and Gallows are not on the road with WWE which is a very interesting position to be in. Now it appears that some people who have their backs as well. It's unclear exactly what this means, but it is an intriguing piece of information in a time where The Good Brothers are said to be on the way out of WWE.

When I was in the army, I developed a fixation on comic books. This struck me as extremely odd, given that I had virtually no interest in them whatsoever (despite a brief flirtation with the notion of becoming a cartoonist). I had some, but they were usually specialized or topical, not the run-of-the-mill superhero or comedy type stuff.
There was a comic book/gaming shop a few miles off post, and I spent a good amount of time and money there, primarily due to my interests in the various RPGs that they offered. Even though I'd become a regular, the owner never knew my name – I was just always there. That's kind of funny, now that I think on it.
During these visits, I'd picked up the first issues of two graphic novels – Alan Moore's Watchmen, and Don Lomax's Vietnam Journal. In the case of the former, I stopped after the third issue; I just didn't get Watchmen, and it would be thirty years before I returned to it – and it was well worth the wait. But in the case of the latter, there was an instant love that I can't explain, and I eagerly awaited each new issue.
Let me explain: After Oliver Stone's Platoon was released in 1986, the media in general was kind enough to acknowledge that Vietnam War veterans were people, too. For the next five years, virtually every avenue was saturated with some kind of Vietnam related merchandise, including comic books. The first to do this was Marvel's The Nam, which started an eight-year run (designed to cover the period from 1965 to 1972), and in many ways seemed to sanitize the conflict. The first couple of years were great – readers followed the tour of Ed Marks, an all-American kid who found himself shaped and scarred by his experience. When Marks finished his tour, others were introduced to tell their stories. There were times when the plots and presentations were straight out of Hollywood, 1944, and in some cases the endings had been telegraphed as early as page two. But I loved that series – I still have the first and final issues, despite having lost the other 82 – and for all of its faults (poor character development, stereotypes, and the occasional unbelievable plot), The Nam remains a critical, and alas, underrated, turning point in modern comics.
But if I had to pick what I considered the quintessential Vietnam graphic novel, then it would have to be Mr. Lomax's Vietnam Journal. There was a rawness there – in the artwork, the lettering, and the stories – that just seemed real. And it was, because Lomax was there.
The series followed embedded journalist Scott "Journal" Neithammer, as he worked his way around the war's front lines. Not interested in the "official" story as dictated by the upper brass, Neithammer spends his time observing and writing about the ordinary grunt in the field. Over the course of the story (I forget how many issues there were), he becomes increasingly disenchanted with what he now believes is a pointless and wasteful conflict. Everything is in there – good guys, bad guys, and guys who are too shady to define. This was a work where no one was perfect, but everyone was human. And the writing was top-notch – it was honest, profane, and authentic. Personally, I loved the black and white artwork, which left more to the imagination than the full-color panel from Marvel. I vaguely recall reading once that Mr. Lomax's stories seemed real because they were all based in fact. I don't know about that, but I can say that as a low-level peon myself at the time these were initially published, I could certainly relate. There were more than a few occasions when, after having finished reading (or re-reading) one of Lomax's episodes, that I found myself wondering how I might have responded in a similar situation.
The top photo is that of the combined volume's cover (2002). I came across this version a day or two ago, and as soon as I saw it, I had to have it. I've been thumbing through it, primarily for nostalgia's sake, but also re-reading as time allows. The first chapter is called The Field Jacket, and seeing it again for the first time in almost three decades was freaky! It's an interesting story about a Neithammer's field jacket and it sets the tone for the often surreal journey that follows.
I should add that Mr. Lomax did a sequel – Gulf War Journal (2004) – where Neithammer, now covering Kuwait, tries to make sense of a new war. It's equally powerful in its narrative and artwork, and frankly, I'd recommend them both so that one can see Neithammer's journey come full circle.


Welcome to the next edition of the Fort Worth Market Update. For this update, we will be looking at homes between $150k and $200K. This price range tends to have the fewest number of homes available compared to the buyers looking in that price point.
We had 351 homes for sale in this price point in September, which is 4% drop from this time last year. This drop is a disappointment after we saw a increase of nearly 16% in 2017. Sellers in this price range should realize that they will have a lot of interest in their homes when they list them with a real estate agent. Many millenniums will be interested in homes at this price point. In fact, a recent Bank of America study showed that many value home ownership more than having a family. It would be a good idea for sellers to ask their agent how they market to this generation of buyers. If the agent doesn't have a solid answer, you might want to keep looking for another agent.
With new listings, we also saw a decline with 13% drop from this time last year. It is amazing to only have 262 new listings come on the market in a city with 800k+ population. Buyers will have to be persistent and patient in their pursuit of their home. They should work with their employer to allow them to go see homes as they come on the market and make sure they have agent that can show homes quickly to them. Offers should be aggressive with the offer price and don't attempt to put too many other costs on the seller like a residential service warranty or closing cost assistance. Investors should realize that many sellers will not be open to working with them on sales price since they will be able to most likely find a traditional buyer. Many homes are marketed directly to investors so those should be the ones investors focus their efforts.
Average sales price in this price range has been flat over the last three years with on nominal increases of 1.8 percent. Investors need to be sure to have a long range plan in place for their investment activities if they are shopping in this price point. Do they flip properties or buy properties for appreciation? Do they want the properties strictly for cash flow? You need to play these questions out in your mind before getting into real estate investing. What if you already have a long range plan? In this time of market transition, what might have been clear three years ago, might be more foggy now. With this in mind, you might have to revise your long range plan to accommodate what you feel the future will hold. It might even be time to institute a wait and see approach.
Aveage per square foot has some gains again this September like the year before. We saw nearly an 8 percent increase in the aveage price per square foot from this time last year and 15.1% from 2016. Smaller homes are coming on the market at the higher price points to push up the price per square foot. Sellers should be careful here when pricing their homes based exclusively on what they see in price per square foot. This statistic is not always an apple to apple comparison. For example, you might have a house that is 500 square feet bigger than any other house in the subdivision. Does this justify a $50k+ price increase in the list price? No, of course not! You would never sell your house at that inflated price. It is not always best to have the biggest, most updated home in the neighborhood. Your real estate agent should be able to guide you through the process of making a decision on sales price including the many different data points to consider while determining the best price.
How long will it take the current homes for sale to sell out to the buyers? This is the statistic we call Months Supply. The lower the number, the stronger the market is for sellers. Higher numbers mean we are in more of a buyer's market. For this price range in Fort Worth, we are currently 1.4 months, which means the sellers still rule the market. It is hard to believe that this has actually gone up nearly 38% since 2016 when we had a 1 month supply. We simply do not have enough homes in this price range.. Why even bother if you are a buyer in this tight market? As was written before, you have to patient to be a buyer in this market. It might take some time for you to find the home you can purchase. You should be sure you have the right agent to help you through this process and one that is dedicated to you versus the quick sale. Some buyer's agents have policies that they do not show more than 5 properties to any one buyer. In this market, that policy would fall flat as you might be shopping for weeks before you land a home.
As you would expect with this Fort Worth market update, the number of closed sales has fallen dramatically in the last two years. We are looking at a decline of nearly 45% in the number of closed sales in two years. Investors should be on the lookout for homes that have been on the market for an extended period of time. Sellers get tired of the showings and the hassle of selling their home. Many sellers are much more willing to bargain if the property has not sold in 90 or 120 days. With this large decrease in the number of closed sales, one possible cause is that homes are staying on the market longer and not selling. It is a good idea to have your agent dig into the data to discover these homes for you. You might pick up a good investment property with this approach.

Shadhika
"Girls have to sacrifice their dreams for the happiness of their families. But, Iwant to change it."
–Mireka, young woman of Shadhika
When she leads, change follows
It is our mission to inspire a culture shift in India by ensuring every young woman is empowered to realize her full potential.
About Shadhika
A history of local action
Juthica Stangl, a native of Kolkata, India, founded Shadhika in 1992 to create a shelter for women who had been wrongly imprisoned due to insufficient dowry or failure to produce a male child. Over the following twenty years, Shadhika provided support to a number of non-governmental organizations focused on poverty, education, and injustice, throughout India. In 2013, in reaction to the 'Nirbhaya' Delhi Gang Rape Case, Shadhika sharpened its focus to combat gender inequality in India by investing in young women's empowerment, and economic self-sufficiency. By providing funding and support to women-led non-profits in India, Shadhika is building a framework for equal access to economic and educational opportunities that will drive a culture shift toward gender equity across the country.
Our vision for global change
We envision growing our impact to reach 10,000 young women annually by 2030 and supporting a national network of change agents working in every state in India. With more than 20% of all adolescent girls in the world living in India, we know this local approach can create a groundswell of global change.
We stand for advancing gender equality in India by ensuring every young woman is empowered to realize her full potential. To that end, we value transparency, community, equality, opportunity, and respect in every facet of our operations.

Sanna Nielsen is a Swedish singer and television presenter who won Melodifestivalen in 2014 with the song "Undo" and so represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark, finishing in 3rd place overall. This was after attempting to get into the competition seven times.
She was one of the commentators for Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 and also hosted Melodifestivalen 2015 along with comedian Robin Paulsson. She was announced as the new presenter for the sing-along show Allsång på Skansen for the summer of 2016 and hosted Eurovision The Party at the Tele2 Arena for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
Nielsen is 34 years old as of 2018. She was born on 27th November 1984 in Edenryd, Sweden.
Nielsen was born Sanna Viktoria Nielsen in Bromölla Municipality, Skåne, Sweden where she also grew up. Her parents are Ing-Mari Nielsen (mother) and Christer Nielsen (father). Her paternal grandfather was a Dane (one from the Kingdom of Denmark) from Århus.
The singer first got engaged in 2006 in Las Vegas, and lived with her fiancé in Lidingö outside of Stockholm before they split up in 2008. She is in a relationship with her boyfriend and partner Joakim Ramsell, with whom she lives in Årsta south of Stockholm. The two met when Ramsell became a chaplain in her band.
The Swedish songstress is 1.8 m tall.
7 is Nielsen's eighth studio album. It was released on 30th June 2014 by Warner Music in Sweden. The album debuted at number one in Sweden. The title refers to the number of attempts it took Nielsen to win Melodifestivalen and earn the right to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest, which had been an ambition of hers for many years.
In early 2019, the month of January, Nielsen's and Joakim's pictures were published on the cover of the weekly magazine Hänt Extra basunces with the message "Sanna Nielsen's Gravid-Lycka" which translates to "Sanna Nielsen's pregnant-happiness". However addressed the claims in an Instagram and Facebook post saying that they were not true anf purely fictitious. The magazine issued an apology following Nielsen's reaction as they explained that they make a yearly horoscope to predict happenings in the coming years of famous Swedes and that their mistake was that the cover did not explain what the headline was based on.
Broadcaster SVT has revealed that Edward af Sillén and singer Sanna Nielsen will be Sweden's commentators for the ESC 2018. Melodifestivalen 2018 runner-up Felix Sandman is set to deliver the country's votes.
Screenwriter, stage director and Eurovision enthusiast Edward af Sillén will be Sweden's commentator for the ESC 2018 in Lisbon alongside artist Sanna Nielsen, who herself partook in Eurovision 2014. It will be the second time the duo will provide the commentary for Eurovision together, following the 2015 edition in Vienna, Austria.
Edward af Sillén has delivered the commentary for the contest several times, including the 2017 edition together with 2015 winner Måns Zelmerlöw. He is a great fan of the contest himself, and has also professionally been involved with Eurovision, including as director and screenwriter. Edward af Sillén has furthermore been involved with Sweden's selection Melodifestivalen.
We have a thrilling Eurovision ahead of us this year. Many favourites in advance and a very strong contribution from Sweden. This can be a riot. Commenting on Eurovision is a highlight of the year, and to do it again with Sanna is a dream.
Sanna Nielsen is a beloved Swedish singer and TV-host. Having participated in Melodifestivalen various times, she won the 2014 edition and subsequently represented Sweden at Eurovision 2014 in Copenhagen, ultimately reaching an honourable 3rd place in the Grand Final with her entry Undo.
I was so happy when I was asked to comment with Edward again. He loves the competition and the last time we commented on Eurovision together, Sweden also won.


I'm thinking of slapping on my Sauna Suit (BioSweats brand & made for "cutting weight so you really do SWEAT with the oldies in it for only $160!), and get some walking in. It's chilly outside, so it might not kill me like I tried when it was 90 degrees! But I'm home alone right now so not "allowed" (do I EVER listen?) to be outside alone. I'll probably just read until someone gets home. Joe wants to change jobs, so start praying for him and his interview on Thursday. It will. E beautiful here this weekend, so looks like the boat is gonna roll out onto the water early this year! I'll STILL pack blankets & LOTS of extra warm clothes. My thyroid meds either run me hot or freezing... no in-between, but it's getting better! Thank you, my Ever-faithful SparkBuddies for welcoming me back! Warm wishes to you all! Peace & Sanity! ??Ang??
Sending prayers that everything works out nicely!
