Wright posed this important question during his remarks at ICI's General Membership Meeting (GMM), held May 6–8 in Washington, DC. He gave an opening speech at the final day's morning session, "Regulatory Developments and the Demands of Operating a Global Asset Management Firm," setting the stage for a lively and insightful conversation among a group of panelists whom he joined to discuss capital market initiatives worldwide, the debate surrounding asset management and financial stability, and the challenges and innovations in the Asia-Pacific region.
challenges facing governments worldwide in funding pension obligations.
Wright also noted that even as policymakers are pursuing capital market initiatives—notably in the European Union through the Capital Markets Union (CMU) initiative—global regulators are becoming more concerned about certain aspects of market-based financing, including the role that asset managers and their funds play in financial stability.
Offering an update on the work of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and IOSCO, Wright stated that the FSB could have a final methodology for designating funds or their managers as global systemically important financial institutions (G-SIFIs) by the end of the year. He also mentioned a new FSB/IOSCO workstream focusing on analyzing asset managers' activities, which he said the organizations should be ready to begin to discuss by August.
Bringing two of the panel's main topics together—the trend toward developing capital markets, and the debate surrounding financial stability and asset management—Christian Dargnat, CEO of BNP Paribas Asset Management, discussed how regulators' efforts could affect capital market initiatives in Europe, specifically the CMU.
The goal of the CMU is to diversify and deepen funding sources for the EU economy by developing and integrating the region's capital markets. However, he said, the FSB's work on asset management and financial stability is at odds with the CMU's goal, because it would hinder market-based financing—a key element of strengthening the European Union's capital markets.
The panelists also discussed how to meet evolving investor needs in a global marketplace. David Semaya, executive chairman of Nikko Asset Management, highlighted the challenges that the Asia-Pacific marketplace presents. The Asia-Pacific region is a very diverse place, he explained. For example, as the Japanese population ages, Japanese clients are focusing less on accumulation and more on decumulation. Meanwhile, the industry faces a rising middle class in other markets, and young people who don't want to put money in a savings account, as their parents did. "They're looking to us for guidance on how to invest—but 'investment' in Asia often means 'trading,' so delivering the right plan and advice to that cohort is critical for us," said Semaya.
Speaking about innovation in the Asia-Pacific region, Wright discussed his curiosity about Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, which—among other services—allows customers to invest in Yu'e Bao, a money market fund that already has collected $87 billion in assets, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Remarking on the range of topics covered during the panel, moderator Campbell Fleming, CEO of Columbia Threadneedle Investments, said that the asset management industry is putting "a lot of effort and intellectual firepower" into the issues discussed, particularly those surrounding capital market development and financial stability.

Alhamdullilah, when i wake up this morning, my body is getting better. Thus, as planned, i decided to went to Jazz Goes To Campus at Universitas Indonesia Depok. JGTC is the oldest jazz festival in Indonesia, this year is their 32nd annual festival.
After that, because of heavy raining, we went to the bazzaar and got cutey and cheapy stuffs. Oh, i love the fact that im on campus area because the stuff that they got there is unique and cheap :p. We back again to stage A and saw ecoutez. But because it's raining and lot people bring umbrella, we can't see anything. all is umbrella, but the performance of ecoutez is good :) we love it.
After that, we went to stage B. they got roof that make us protected from rain. we decided to passed maliq & d'essential (owh, in all jazz festivals we got 'em), kulkul , olma ong and Balawan. we thougt it was just useless went there and can't see anything, instead only listening them under the rain!
We were waiting for Endah n Rhesa. Before that we got eriksondhy project. Endah n Rhesa was brilliant, as usual. Sweet thing is they got married next week. They show off their engagement ring. Aw, so sweet, i just knew that they're couple, no wonder they got so much chemistry in their performance :). When i was in blues festival, lot of people didnt know their song, in JGTC, those college students know by heart and sing together. awh! i think i have to buy their CD :) they sings " i dont' remember, when you love someone, uncle jim and few songs"
then we heading home, i say bye secretly to Olma Ong and was happy to see Endah n Rhesa again.
Next week is JakJazz, but i think we passed it. and the ticket for Java Jazz has already on sale. We will check that we want to buy it or not, since Java Jazz really like bazaar and lifestyle event than Jazz festival itself.
wow, it's almost midnight. I'm going to sleep now, peeps :D.


It's positively Faulknerian (but more accessible).
"Way Downriver," Edward Morgan's adaptation of the novella, "Old Man," by Nobel Prize-winner William Faulkner, has many familiar Faulkner elements: set in his home state of Mississippi (one of his works not set in fictional Yoknapatawpha County); focusing on human tragedy tinged with irony and sly humor; filled with Biblical references; and touching on issues of race, the hypocrisy of bureaucracy and the plight of Man against the forces of Nature. And, oh yes, a boatload of beautiful, lyrical descriptive language.
The play debuted in 2014 at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, developed in association with the Southern Writers Project, and premiering under the title "Twenty-Seven." Morgan, who was present at the local opening and had been at rehearsals for the week leading up to the West coast premiere at North Coast Repertory Theatre (the play's second production), said he changed the name of the piece because most people didn't seem to connect "Twenty-Seven" with the year the dramatic action takes place.
Faulkner's "Old Man" refers to the Mississippi River (just like the 1927 Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein song, "Ol' Man River" from the musical, "Showboat"). It was as good as a character in Faulkner's original, so crucial was it to the story.
1927 was the year of the Great Mississippi Flood, still on record as the most destructive river flood in U.S. history.
Thanks to a magnificent production at North Coast Rep, we feel the terror of the flooding, and the spine-chilling journey of two mismatched people in a small boat, battling the violent elements.
Morgan, a playwright, adapter and director, has fleshed out the story, adding dialogue where there was little or none, as well as a racial element and a romance — and names for the characters, who remained nameless in "Old Man," part of a novel called "If I Forget Thee Jerusalem" (published in 1939 as "The Wild Palms"), comprising a pair of intertwined novellas.
Aikins is serving a 15-year term in Parchman Farm, the maximum security Mississippi State Penitentiary, for an attempted train robbery inspired by dime novels he'd read in his youth. Two men wound up dead, though not by his hand.
When the rains start and the river begins to rise, prisoners from Parchman are sent out to help in the rescue effort. The introspective, taciturn Aikins (Richard Baird) is teamed up with young, verbose and inquisitive Tommy (Benjamin Cole). Their mission is to pick up a stranded woman and man. They never got to the man; the boat capsized, and the two convicts were separated. Tommy clung to a tree, and Aikins was given up for dead.
But nine weeks later, he shows up back at the Farm, and he's recounting his entire adventure, battling the river with the marooned woman, who happened to be eight months pregnant.
It's a terrific adventure, as written and as directed by North Coast Rep artistic director David Ellenstein.
Morgan created another prisoner, Ike (Robert Grossman) who offers an older man's cynical perspective on life and its disappointments. He also provides musical accompaniment to the proceedings: luscious, bluesy guitar picking that often underscores Aikins' descriptions (sounding like rushing water at times, for example).
The playwright heaps on a horde of colorful characters encountered by Aikins and the stalwart Ellie (New York-based Sara Fetgatter), all played with gusto, humor, skill and credibility by John Herzog and the impressively varying Max Macke and Geno Carr (who does a mean, French-speaking Cajun who gives a superb mime of an alligator-wrestling escapade). Even the smallest of characters is given dimensionality, so they veer away from caricature.
Morgan ingeniously interlaces Aikins' narration with his river encounters and the peanut-gallery exclamations of the other two prisoners, still in their cell. Once or twice, Ellie gets a moment in the spotlight for one of Faulkner's evocative accounts of her harrowing exploits, excellently delivered by Fetgatter.
The stage is divided into three parts (set design by Marty Burnett): the prison cell stage left, the warden's office stage right, and at center, a sandbagged breakaway stone wall with an open space for projections (Aaron Rumley), strikingly depicting the river at its wildest and its calmest, crowned by furious clouds or romantically illuminated by moonlight.
The soundscape (Melani Chen) is wonderful (thunder, rain, crickets, etc.) and the lighting (Matt Novotny) also enhances the experience.
But the centerpiece of this engaging, engrossing show is the superlative, gut-wrenching performance of Richard Baird, who creates a stalwart man of conscience brought down by his sense of what's right. We're completely swept along in the drama, holding our collective breath at times, or raging at the unfairness of it all.
This is a coup and a triumph for North Coast Rep, a superbly energized and nuanced production of a new work that begs to be seen.


I've been neglecting Pinterest for a few months now, not by choice but just because life has just gotten in the way. Silly as it is such an inspiring platform and so easy to get immersed in for hours. So the other night I put some time aside and sure enough within minutes I was rewarded with this stunning photo of a kitchen designed by Oscar Properties. What is not to love, the gallery wall, that table, the lighting and the colour palette.


Out-of-date beneficiary designations could completely undo your entire estate plan. It happens often, since people often neglect these 'fine print' details.
We hope that you have a will to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass. However, if you are like most Americans, many of your assets are not distributed through your will, but through a beneficiary designation, which you may have not thought about since opening up the account, retirement account, 401(k), IRA or SEP or taking out a life insurance policy. A word of warning: regardless of what's in your will, the beneficiary designation takes precedence.
Your estate plan needs to be kept up to date, and that includes your will, any power of attorney documents and just as important, your beneficiary designations.

As someone who has managed to play once or twice a year for 20 years and remain terrible but hopelessly optimistic that one day the game will get easier, I can understand the frustration.
The biggest gap that jumps out to me with golf is that there is no natural place to practice. The idea of going to the driving range seems tough to pull off. When you play soccer, baseball, basketball, etc with your kids or friends — it's either in the backyard or down the street at the park.
I think for golf to take off, the industry needs to figure out a way get the game into the backyard and parks so when people actually get to the courses, the game will be easier. Maybe technology will play a role with lower costs simulators, backyard nets, 3D swing analyzers, and other gadgets. Will be an interesting space to watch.

How is the Amount for a Security Deposit Calculated?
Be merry and bright, but don't let your holiday lights shine all night. Save money on your electric bill by installing a light timer for your home. It can help lower your electric bill and reduce energy consumption. Use a manual timer plugged into an electrical outlet to automatically turn lights on and off as scheduled.
Offi ces Closed LREC will be closed December 25 & 26 in observance of Christmas.
As a nonprofi t electric cooperative, Lake Region Electric Cooperative (LREC) is committed to pro- viding the best service at the lowest possible cost to its members - and this means operating at the height of effi ciency. With that purpose in mind LREC has implemented the following procedures regarding a security deposit that will help cut costs due to losses from delinquent accounts and bad debt write-offs. LREC, by allowing a member to use electricity during the month and billing him or her the fol- lowing month, is simply extending credit to the members. Therefore, a security deposit is required on all accounts.
If an existing member has more than two late payments in a twelve month period, we will request that the member pay a security deposit in order to adequately protect other members of the co-op against the possibility of non-payment on the amount owed. This deposit amount is two times the highest monthly electric bill with in the last 12 months. The reason for this is that it usually takes sixty days to disconnect a member's electric service for non-payment (Thirty days before it is billed and thirty days after the bill is mailed out). This is the industry standard that is followed by most electric utilities and sanctioned by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and not unique to LREC. The mentioned deposit is automatically added to any account that does not have a security deposit on fi le and has more than two late payments in the past twelve months.
A new member may choose to have LREC perform a credit check to determine if a security deposit is needed ($5 credit check application fee paid by member). If the credit check indicates that a security deposit is not required, the deposit amount will be waived.
LREC also offers a pre-paid account similar to a pre-paid phone service. Under this option No Deposits are required. A member simply purchases a certain amount of electricity in advance. The member will be notifi ed by phone or email when the balance is low. The member then can purchase more electricity. This can be done daily, weekly, monthly or as often as one wishes.


Small to Medium Enterprises will invest, innovate and create new jobs as demand for Energiesprong retrofits grows. This is the message from two early phase solution providers, Melius Homes in the UK and Operene in France.
The excitement all started when Operene and Melius Homes team members were invited to Energiesprong site visits in the Netherlands. Seeing social housing refurbished to net zero energy levels, they were inspired to seek similar solutions tailored to their own markets.
Melius Homes and Operene both take pride in delivering high performance retrofits for social housing providers. These are small, agile teams, with a passion. Both have adopted an Energiesprong-style energy performance guarantee as part of their holistic retrofit offer.
Melius Homes delivered the first award-winning Energiesprong pilot in the UK in late 2017, refurbishing 10 hard to heat homes in Nottingham to make them near net zero energy.
Meanwhile, Operene attracted government innovation funding to optimise retrofit solutions for France.
Setting up a factory will enable Melius Homes to industrialise, improve performance and drive down costs. Panels will pre-fabricated to the exact size with laser precision, then delivered to site and craned into position for easy fixing, allowing fast installation by fewer on-site workers. Automated cutting will increase the volume and speed of delivery and reduce on-site waste.
A highly skilled workforce will be needed to support this more bespoke, more scalable service, including designers, engineers, technical workers and management. Melius Homes plans to recruit between 15 and 25 people. These are jobs that will be particularly welcome in Nottingham where the unemployment rate is more than 3% higher than the UK national average of 4%.
One of Vigneron's observations of big construction companies is that they may be tempted to deliver a 'cut and paste' version of a Dutch retrofit, rather than a tailored solution for the local market. This is where Operene's network of SMEs will come into their own. Each brings a specialism such as insulated facades, windows, low carbon heating solutions or ventilation. They will work together to develop integrated retrofit solutions more suitable for France.
When the French team saw Energiesprong retrofits in the Netherlands they immediately saw that these would need to be adapted for France. For example, building regulations would not allow polyurethane foam insulation around windows in France. Anticipating higher environmental standards, the embodied energy in materials is also a concern the French team felt should be taken into account.
Operene subsequently came up with their Energiesprong-inspired R&D project called ES'OPE. This will be 50/50 funded by ADEME and the companies involved in the project – Chanel Sas, Enertech, Eolya, IRFTS, Lorillard, Operene and Rosaz Energies.
ES'OPE will allow new retrofit solutions to be prototyped and tested in the research laboratories of the CEA, then deployed and monitored once in place. The participants will explore light, durable, sustainable products and techniques and will also take into account the whole-life cost of materials including embodied energy. The final phase will involve on-site testing with social housing providers. The plan is to retrofit a mix of individual homes and apartment blocks using the solutions most suitable for rollout across France.
Hugo Vigneron sees government R&D funding creating space to develop and test the best solutions before taking them to market. ES'OPE gives Operene until 2022 to develop their solutions together with its network of six specialised construction firms. Bespoke products are needed and now Operene, like Melius Homes is looking to develop and provide these.


If you have the green thumb, we envy you. If you don't, welcome to the club. In fact, we both attempted to care for succulents once before — because they're known as one of the easiest plants to care for — only to have them wither away within months. But we're up for second chances. So whether you've got the green thumb or not, below are 5 eco-friendly houseplants for beginners that require little care. Bonus: they're also budget-friendly!
How To Care For Them: Compared to other ferns, Boston Ferns are the easiest to revive if they are ever nearly dead. A plant native to the tropics, they thrive in cool places between 68-78 degrees F with high humidity and indirect lighting. If kept in an environment with low humidity, the leaves will begin to turn yellow. When this happens, revive the fern by placing the fern in a pot filled with pebbles and water (here's how). If you do not have a humid environment around your house, lightly spruce up your fern by misting it once or twice a week, as needed. As for the soil, keep it damp at all times. Make sure the water is properly drained throughout the soil so no particles are left behind.
Why We Love Them: If you're looking to liven up your bathroom, you've found the winner. Bathrooms with bright lighting are great places to keep Boston Ferns because they provide the perfect amount of humidity.
How To Care For Them: Hoya Carnosa Variegata plants do not require a lot of pampering — perfect for beginners looking for a low maintenance plant. They dislike being handled or touched. However, that doesn't mean they should be neglected. They love to be in bright but indirect light, and in high humidity environments. Place them by the window for about 3-4 hours a day in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid direct sunlight. They don't need much water to thrive and are best kept at room temperature (60-70 degrees in the summer and 50 degrees in the winter). Make sure you don't overwater them or the leaves will turn brown. Trim the hoya occasionally as they are fast growing climbing plants.
Why We Love Them: If you're looking for home decor, the hoya is great because it blooms white and pink flowers in the spring and summer.
How To Care For Them: English Ivies are great houseplants for beginners because they attract very few pests. If pests do become a problem, simply wash them in a solution comprised of a gallon of water with a few drops of dish detergent. For delicate English Ivies, you can spray them with lukewarm water. When placing them indoors, they love shady areas with bright, indirect light. They thrive best in temperatures above 45 degrees F. Make sure they are kept away from drafts, open doors, or vents. In the beginning stages of their growth, English Ivies need moist soil. Once they have been well established and growing, they can begin to tolerate dryer conditions. They are vigorous growers that can climb everywhere if not maintained. Trim them back every so often to your desired length.
Why We Love Them: If you're looking for a versatile plant, the English Ivy has got your back. It can be used as a hanging plant or used to climb along walls, fences or ground. It's great for covering those unattractive spots outside of your home.
How To Care For Them: Echeveria Peacockii plants are slow growing plants; great for beginners because they don't need to be trimmed often. Like most succulents, they enjoy bright indirect sunlight but don't need to be kept outside all year round. In the wintertime, they'll thrive wonderfully when placed near the brightest window of your home and in 55-75 degrees F. Then when springtime rolls around, just be sure to gradually let them soak in the warm sun for about 3-4 hours a day when temperatures are in between 65-80 degrees F. When it gets too hot, take them back inside. We love that they are a drought tolerant plant; they don't need to be watered daily, only when the soil dries up.
Why We Love Them: If you're looking to build a succulent army, Echeverias can easily be propagated. Carefully trim off the leaves and plant them in another pot.
How To Care For Them: Spider Plants are extremely adaptable and one of the easiest houseplants to care for because they can tolerate a lot of abuse and still thrive. All you need to do is provide them with well-drained soil, bright and indirect light, occasional pruning, fertilization twice a year, and kept in home temperatures between 65-80 degrees F. Although they are considered a drought-tolerant plant, it's best to always keep the soil moist — but never soggy. We also recommend watering spider plants with distilled or rainwater to keep the leaves green and luscious.
Why We Love Them: If you're looking for a fast-growing plant, look no further. Spider Plants are known to grow very quickly and can get to about 3 feet tall.

14th GEM&L International Workshop on Management and Language
EM Strasbourg Business School
Global working and language:
Towards an understanding of global-local interplay
Global forms of work have become common in MNEs (Reiche, Lee and Allen, 2019) in an ever-growing heterogeneity of local environments (Jaussaud and Mayrhofer, 2014). By global working, we mean situations in which employees from diverse cultural backgrounds, often in geographically distant and different national contexts, are collaborating (Hinds, Liu and Lyon, 2011). This includes all forms of expatriation, corporate and self-initiated expatriation, short-term assignments, flexpatriation and international business travel (Mayerhofer, Hartmann, Michelitsch-Riedl and Kollinger, 2004) as well as work in global virtual teams and domestic work with involvement in international responsibilities and/or interactions with colleagues from different countries. This last aspect concerning virtual work has become all the more crucial as we face the unique challenges experienced during the health crisis (Doh, 2020).
We have chosen to use the expression "global working" to highlight the fluidity and situatedness of these specific work experiences, close to "international working" introduced by Mayrhofer, Reichel and Sparrow (2011) and by McNulty and Brewster (2019). Angouri and Piekkari (2018) also call for a more fluid approach to organizations and global work which conceptualizes organizations as more than their physical and legal structures. In this perspective management and organizational scholars have shown that discourse shapes organizations (Cooren, Vaara, Langley and Tsoukas, 2014; see also Cooren, Kuhn, Cornelissen and Clark, 2011, in the special issue of Organization Studies on Communicating, Organizing and Organization). The importance of situatedness in context raises the question of global and local interplay in each global working situation: i.e. how global and local dynamics co-construct the reality of global working experiences within the language ecosystem (Angouri and Piekkari, 2018) of each local environment.
Language lies at the heart of global working at three different levels identified by Reiche and colleagues (2019): actors, processes and structures. Firstly, actors may be more or less invited to participate in global working arrangements and to voice their opinions in these instances depending on their level of mastery of the corporate language of the MNE. Employees may be empowered (Tietze, 2008) or, on the contrary, marginalized if they do not master the language of the organization (Neeley, 2017). In this regard, individuals having developed multicultural identities may bring precious contributions to global working (Lee, Masuda, Fu and Reiche, 2018). Research also suggests that expatriates proficient in the language of their host country develop more and deeper relationships with locals and adjust better than others (Zhang and Peltokorpi, 2015). Whatever the context, language competence may not suffice to erase the effects of differing native communication styles or to prevent the doubts and frustration these may cause (Louhiala-Salminen, 2005; Tr�guer-Felten, 2018), a feeling shared by increasing numbers of diverse types of global workers in MNCs and especially by those labelled migrant workers.
Secondly, in terms of processes, it has been suggested that language skills influence knowledge sharing and that an overemphasis on international networks reduces employees' embeddedness in local networks which is critical to MNCs' development (Peltokorpi and Vaara, 2014). Other areas have also been explored, such as:  how corporate international policies or international marketing campaigns are deployed locally or how language skills enable boundary spanning activities (Barner-Ramussen, Ehrnrooth, Koveshnikov and M�kel�, 2014) and influence teamwork (Tenzer and Pudelko, 2017).
Finally, it is important to unravel the role of language in different structures of global work and to understand, for instance, if an expatriate moving physically to another country will resort more to speaking a local language in a specific host country than someone involved in global working arrangements in his or her own country. Global-local dynamics in specific contexts and different situations of global working may trigger different ways of negotiating language use.  As a result of the current pandemic, global workers may have to rethink their virtual working practices. Indeed, the dramatic increase in situations where virtual work is imposed makes it difficult to maintain network ties, especially weak ties (Levin and Kurtzberg, 2020; Milliken, Kneeland and Flynn, 2020). In this regard, the fact that a majority of employees work remotely may affect global workers' access to important information passed through informal networks and weak ties. Global working language practices may also be destabilized for former business travellers who are asked to work from home and to communicate with colleagues around the world in different time zones. From a local perspective, the global health crisis may place new demands on host country nationals working with international staff (Faeth and Kitter, 2020; Fee, 2020) with the lack of opportunities for informal interaction between the different parties impeding relationship building.
Understanding these dynamics requires a fluid approach to language use, seen as social practice (Karhunen, Kankaanranta, Louhiala-Salminen and Piekkari, 2018). From this perspective, languages are not static elements, to be analysed merely through the prism of proficiency in a national language. Janssens and Steyaert's multilingual franca (2014) concept illustrates this approach by throwing light on the local practices resulting from the imposition of English in MNEs.
To examine the implications of local language use more in depth it would be valuable to investigate how business concepts and work processes are understood and enacted by local employees in their own contexts. For instance, subsidiaries located in cross-border regions provide opportunities to observe how employees draw on all their language resources and combine them to make themselves understood (Langinier and Ehrhart, 2020).
Analysing language as a social practice raises a number of methodological issues and calls for self-reported data surveys, observations, critical ethnographic studies, as well as interaction analysis (Angouri and Piekkari, 2018).
We thus welcome papers which investigate the interplay between new forms of global work and language use in MNC and non-MNC contexts (i.e. SMEs, NGOs, etc.) (Angouri and Piekkari, 2018). These papers could address but are not limited to:
�      The link between language and the boundary spanning role of global workers
�      The role of "born globals": how people with multicultural identities experience global working and what their relation is to language in these instances
�      The way migrants transport language in MNCs, how their language skills might be recognized in some instances
�      The way language is used by global marketing specialists, how international marketing campaigns are deployed internationally, and what the role of language is in this process
�      The impact of differing communication styles on global-local dynamics and processes
�      Methodological issues associated with the analysis of language in global working situations, what kind of data collection this requires, what approach could fully account for the complexities of global-local dynamics and their link to language in global working situations
�      Multilevel analysis highlighting how the macro environmental context and the corporate context influence global workers' multilingual practices
�      Translating the research findings on global working and language into the management education sphere
�        The evolution of language practices as global and local working patterns become increasingly virtual
*         The impact of working from home on multilingual working situations

To compare auto insurance plans, you will need to find out rates, possible discounts, and much, much more. Is it time for you to decide if you'll renew your policy? Are you leaning towards finding a new insurer with better rates and coverage? Step one is to get a pen and paper and starting researching your options.
It is very important to learn about the reputation and financial status of each of possible insurer. Do not just sign up with the company that offers the cheapest rate. Often, this is a company that will gladly sign you on, but reluctantly help you with a claim. Search for a company with a good reputation, solid customer service, and positive ratings and reviews. When it's time to compare auto insurance companies, simply go to your state's Department of Insurance website to find out all you need to know. Let other people's experience help you make a smart decision.
Just as you're trying to cut costs, so are insurance companies. When you compare auto insurance providers, don't just focus on what they offer. Focus on what they exclude or limit in their policy as well. Often what you think is a good policy is really just poor overall coverage.
Most states have a minimum amount of coverage that is required. It is suggested, however, that you go above and beyond the required minimum coverage. It may only cost a few extra dollars a month, but it could save you thousands if you ever have to submit a claim.
Don't go with a company who refuses to give you deals or discounts on your premium. There are numerous ways to save; it's up to an educated consumer to compare auto insurance rates to get a good deal.
Low-Mileage Discount: Ask about this if you do not drive often. Less driving means a lower premium.
Safety Discount: If your car has Anti-Lock Brakes, airbags, automatic seat belts, or an anti-theft device, you should be eligible for a discount.
Good Driving History: If you haven't been involved in an accident in over 3 years, and if you keep your traffic tickets to a minimum, ask for a deal.
Multiple Cars: If you insure more than one car with a company, ask about a multi-car or family discount.
Honor Student: If you are a student on the Dean's List or Honor Roll, find an insurer who will discount your policy if you maintain your grades.
It seems that fraud and scams are becoming more and more prevalent. As you compare auto insurance providers, be sure to check their status with the Better Business Bureau. Also choose a company that is licensed in your state. An unlicensed company cannot protect you.
Until you're sure the company you're dealing with is legit, never give them any personal information and NEVER pay cash!

'Big Girls With Big Guns' Series
Anagenesis Series
Seasoned Veteran E. Van Lowe Talks Writing and Life
1. How did it feel when Boyfriend From Hell hit the best selling ranks? Was it any different when Earth Angel became a chart topper?
January 2012 was the first month Boyfriend From Hell appeared on any Best Seller lists. It felt awesome. Two months earlier I was struggling with sales. I think I sold 67 books in November. So to go from that to a Best Seller made me feel like all my marketing efforts were paying off. Pixel of Ink wanted to feature both books in a side-by-side feature in March. That feature really helped. Both books became #1 and #2 Best Sellers in Children's Spine-Chilling Horror, and #7 and #8 in children's ebooks. I was hoping to get both books into the Kindle top 100 in any category in March, but to be in the top 10 in a number of categories felt awesome. It was amazing. I still can't get over it.
2. One reviewer called 'Never Slow Dance with a Zombie' a "a fun zombie teen romance". Was it challenging trying to balance social pressures of high school with the imminent danger of zombie students?
I'm sure it was, but I don't remember. I wrote Never Slow Dance With A Zombie in 2006. All I remember about the process was making sure I stuck to my page count, and how much fun I had. One of the things about getting older for me is I only remember the fun stuff ;-)
3. Your forthcoming Hollyweird series sounds exciting. Can you share any tidbits or teasers?
I wanted to do a series that was kind of noir-ish, like a Raymond Chandler mystery. I call the genre teen-noir. Fifteen and a half year-old Kris Golden is a necromancer who lives in Hollywood. She has a sworn duty to lay the risen dead back to rest, and in each book she does just that while also solving a murder mystery. There's even a neat love story. I am very excited about the first book: The Zombie Always Knocks Twice. It will be published by Imajin (An awesome Canadian publisher), and is due out end of summer.
4. You write adult horror under an alter ego Sal Conte (which I'll probably never read because I'm a scaredy-cat). How do you manage two distinct fan bases? Do you use multiple email and social networking accounts?
Interestingly, I haven't been able to get my alter ego, Sal Conte off the ground. Last year I got the rights back to the two original Sal Conte horror novels published by Dorchester that I wrote in the 80s when I was in college. Both of the original Sal Conte books did very well back then. I brought Child's Play out as an ebook around Halloween along with the new short story, The Toothache Man. I still haven't brought out The Power. I can't seem to find the time to market Sal properly. He has his own Twitter account @SalConte1 and occasionally sends out a few tweets, but it isn't enough to affect sales. He sells very few books. I decided to let the Sal Conte titles languish until E. Van Lowe has a strong, reliable fanbase, and I bring out his new novel. I could probably do another short before then, but I don't believe that's the best way to build fans. You probably won't hear much from Sal before Halloween 2013, but thanks for asking. If anyone is interested my adult horror, Sal Conte has a page on my website and his work is available on Kindle and Nook.
5. You've had a diverse and successful career - what's been your proudest moment?
My proudest moment is when my son graduated college. I am from the South Bronx. When I grew up it was one of the most depressed ghettos in America. I am grateful to have had the life I've had, and to be able to give my children the tools they need to thrive in the world today. It's great living in Hollywood and being nominated for Emmys and an Academy Award, but nothing beats the swell of my chest when my family does well.
6. Can you talk a little bit about your work with 'Educating Young Minds and Operation Education'?
Giving back is something I've always tried to do. Aside from supporting several charities I sit on the board of Education Young Minds. I am also a board member of Operation Education, but they have not been that active this past year. EYM is a tutorial program that ensures any kid (black, white, rich, poor) gets a good education and a college scholarship when they graduate high school. EYM has turned so many lives around. By schooling students with poor skills alongside brilliant students they are able to make every student feel equally valuable as human beings. It's amazing how important the 'human' part is to excelling. Kids who hated school come after school and are there til 10- 10:30 at night. I've never seen anything quite like it. And they take kids from kindergarten to high school. I am proud to be a part of EYM. If youd like to know more about the organization here is their website: http://www.educatingyoungminds.org/
Operation Education is a program that gets Nickelodeon and music celebrities to visit schools in the San Diego area, perform and participate in a program that teaches tolerance. Kids who are headed toward gangs or bullying are touched when TV stars come to their schools and make them feel important.
These are both great (underfinanced) programs.
7. Who's been the most influential person in your writing career?
I'd have to say my mother. She's the person who suggested I try writing stories when I was a kid. I came down with pneumonia one summer and had to spend my time indoors. I was a very active kid. I also had a vivid imagination. My mother found a way to channel my imagination and keep me occupied while I was in the house. It worked better than any of us could have hoped for because I'm still doing it. LOL.
8. How do you measure a productive day at the keyboard? Word count? Chapters?
I go by pages. I try to write three to five pages a day. That's not very ambitious, I know. But on that schedule I can write two books a year and still keep up with my TV and film aspirations. Also, not giving myself an ambitious daily page count allows me to have more successful days (where I exceed my goals) than unsuccessful days. If a writer has too many unsuccessful days, the fun of writing can start to feel like a chore. I try to keep it fun.
9. Music or no music when you're writing?
Sometimes, yes and sometimes no. It depends on my mood, or the scene I'm writing. But usually, I like quiet.
10. What's your philosophy on supporting other authors?
People should help people. Period. If you can help, you should. I believe we are here to help each other. So of course I love supporting authors in any way I can.
11. What advice do you offer to aspiring authors?
Sharpen your skills. We live in a great era. When I was coming along only a chosen few would ever be published. Today there are more publishers as well as the option of self-publishing. But it's a trap. Most people the Big Six haven't published are not published for a reason—their skills are not sharp enough. Today people feel they don't need to sharpen their skills. If no one will publish them, they will publish themselves. My advice is, do not fall into that trap. Take a little more time and sharpen your skills. You may get to market a little later than your friends, but like my mother used to say "cream always rises to the top." Starting later doesn't mean you'll wind up behind. If you sharpen your skills your career will shoot past those who came to market before they were ready. This is not a put down of self publishing—I'm for it. But don't self publish just because you can. Wait until you are ready.

Klaipėda to Remember Synagogue Put to Torch by Nazis
by Gediminas Pilaitis, Lrytas.lt
Many residents of Klaipėda don't know the city's largest synagogue once stood on Daržų street.
There are plans to commemorate the synagogue which operated in the interwar period in the Klaipėda Old Town. A commemorative plaque is to be placed on the hotel which now occupies the location. The city has approved the plan initiated by the local Jewish community.
Former Jewish hospital on Galinio Pylimo street.
The Jewish community was compact and its past activities are an inseparable part of the history and culture of the city of Klaipėda [aka Memel]. The magistrate of Memel allocated space for a Jewish hospital, cemetery and religious buildings on the earthen ramparts of the old fort in the Klaipėda Old Town back in 1823.
The Beit haMidrash was the largest synagogue in Klaipėda and appeared between two plots of land on Daržų street in 1875. Only fragments of brick and mortar and traces of the foundation covered by gravel mark the spot today.
The city's Jewish community began to really grow in the early 20th century. In 1910 there were 2,000 Jewish residents, constituting 9 percent of the city's population, but by 1939 when Adolf Hitler arrived by military vessel and delivered a speech at the theater building, there were 7,000 Jews comprising 14 percent of the total population in Klaipėda.
Klaipėda Jewish cemetery.
Not much information remains about the three synagogues which operated in the city. It's believed all of them were crowded with worshipers before World War II.

Snow Express operate coaches to over 40 ski resorts in the French Alps, so wherever you're staying you're never too far from a Snow Express arrival point.
The coach service operates weekly and travels directly down from London to the Alps. A number of resorts are served directly with the Snow Express picking up and dropping off in the heart of the resort. For other resorts we run directly to a local transport hub from where you will be provided with tickets for a local connection up to your resort. The journey details for each resort can be found on the relevant resort pages (see the menu on the left).
If you cannot find your destination in the search menu then do get in touch and can advise on the closest Snow Express stop.
On most weeks we depart from London at 1830hrs although at 1/2 term and Easter we may depart earlier. You travel overnight and the coach will arrive on Saturday afternoon ready for you to hit the slopes. Please check your booking for exact departure and arrival times. We take you right into the heart of your resort so, unlike flying, you avoid expensive airport transfers, long queues at the airport and costly luggage charges.
In Victoria we operate from Stand Number 3 on Bulleid Way, which can be found at the rear of the Colonnade Walk Shopping Centre building on Buckingham Palace Road.
To reach Bulleid Way from Victoria Railway Station, leave the station via the escalators on the concourse and walk through The Victoria Place Shopping Centre to exit via Sainsbury's on Eccleston Bridge (Belgrave Road). Turn left and Bulleid Way is 30 metres on your right, opposite the Victoria Station NCP car park and taxi rank.
Alternatively you can walk through Colonnade Walk and after 75meters turn left at Subway into Fountain Square, Bulleid Way is located at the end of the square.


A web designer has to test the web page a number of times after coding with different popular browsers. It is important to check with every browser since they are different in some way or the other.
Different web browsers showcase CSS and HTML in different ways. Therefore, when you are designing any website, you need to consider one very important factor generally known as cross browser compatibility. With this you make sure that the website you design is displayed in a consistent manner in every web browser.
If you are using complex kind of HTML or CSS coding, you will for sure face browser compatibility issues. So when you are at the stage of designing, make sure you keep the layout as simple as possible. Also avoid using a number of elements in your markup coding.
Make sure you use proper validators to check HTML and CSS coding before you upload your website. Since if you have any invalid code in it then it will be a tough task to fix them especially when the site is up on the server. You will find a number of validators for both the HTML and CSS validations, or you may also find them in a form of plug-ins.
With the quirks mode you get a duplication of older and faulty kind of version of the browser. This compels the older websites to carry out the task with any new browser without any recoding work on these pages. This quirk mode can complicate things especially when you are creating modern pages as the browser submits something of the older versions.
Majority of browsers carry the default settings regarding the padding and margin around element. These default settings can create havoc in the other CSS rules. This can be avoided by making the CSS rule consistent across all the web browsers.
Designers often test their website at one browser and then head to another. Instead of doing this, you can test your website in just one browser like Firefox, since it is considered best in many ways. After testing it in Firefox, its time to try with others like IE, Google Chrome, Safari and so on.
Transparent PNGs are the images files which are performed to get translucency factor along with smooth borders in the background of the site. However, the default setting of IE8 do not display the transparent PNGs. This is the reason why you need to make IE8 work with transparent PNGs.
To get a good level of browser compatibility, sticking to the idea of manual way of coding of HTML and CSS is always considered to be a better deal. Hence avoid using any kind of software for the coding purpose to get better result.

710 Mobility Improvement Projects
On August 6, 2019, Caltrans ended the decades-long saga of the proposed SR-710 North Freeway extension between Alhambra and Pasadena. Caltrans instead chose to move forward with neighborhood transportation improvements. In 2018 and 2019, the City of Los Angeles was awarded a total of $148.68 million in funds previously set aside for the SR-710 North Freeway Extension for transportation improvements in Council District 14. Councilmember de Leon is excited to lead these projects and ensure stakeholders are able to shape how these projects are implemented.
Soto/Valley Bridge Widening
The Bureau of Engineering is currently widening the Soto Street bridge over Valley Boulevard. The Project will add widened sidewalks to each side of the bride as well as bike lanes in both directions.
Soto Street Widening
This project creates a complete street project between Huntington Drive and Multnomah Street in El Sereno. The project will upgrade the existing street by widening it to provide sidewalks and protected bike lanes on each side of the streets as well as two travel lanes in each direction.
Valley Boulevard Transportation Improvements
Metro awarded LA County $30 million and the City of Los Angeles $34.1 million for improvements along Valley Boulevard in El Sereno. The collaboration between the City and County seeks to create a multimodal corridor along Valley Boulevard from Alhambra to County+USC Hospital while also providing new opportunities for green space and access to wrap-around health services at County Hospital.
Envision Eastern
Envision Eastern is a community led initiative to make safety improvements on Eastern Avenue. The project involves the construction of new sidewalks, traffic signals, and street lights in order to make it safer for pedestrians along the corridor.
Huntington Drive Transportation Improvements
The city was awarded $17 million dollars to improve Huntington Drive between Kendall Avenue and Soto Street. Councilmember de Leon is working with the Bureau of Engineering to begin community meetings in early 2021 where the community will help identify what improvements they would like to see along the corridor.
Rock the Boulevard
Rock the Boulevard is a community led initiative to improve Eagle Rock Boulevard in Eagle Rock. The project involves the construction of protected bicycle lanes, new sidewalks, and improves the street between Colorado Boulevard and York Boulevard.

I tried to view Venus tonight on my Meade 114EQ-ASTR, but when I try to focus on the planet, all I see is the 3 beams holding the side smaller side reflector mirror. I can even see my fingers if I put them in front of the telescope. I only have 1 MA25mm eyepiece but I have a MA9mm eyepiece from an much older Meade telescope that doesn't fit but works only if I hold it in place. I'd be thankful for any type of help!
It is difficult to know exactly without seeing what is happening for myself. Have you ever managed to focus on anything before? If you can focus (for example) on the Moon, you should not need to re-focus to see Venus. Venus is surprisingly difficult to see through a telescope as it is very bright and the brightness is spread over a very small area.
It sounds like your focus is way out and you need to turn the knob the other way until the 3 beams disappear.

It sounds like the kind of image you get when you are not using an eyepiece. You need a 1.25" eyepiece in the eyepiece tube at the side of the telescope. The MA25mm is better than nothing, but the 9mm would be better for planetary observing. Consider using it with a barlow lens for better magnification.
You need to run the focussing knob until you get a small bright image.
I'm not sure why the eyepiece doesn't fit. The MA9mm is a 1.25" eyepiece.
It sounds to me that your focuser may be racked too far out to focus the eyepiece at infinity. Have you tried the scope during the day? Can you get it focussed on a distant street light, treetop or tv aerial?
If you can get it focussed on the most distant terrestrial object you can see, it should only be a small change to rack it inwards to get stars and planets into focus.
Does the 9mm eyepiece have a smaller barrel size? Some telescopes used to come with 0.965" diameter eyepieces, which would need an adapter to use with the 1.25" focuser. I've just donated mine (from an old Meade scope as well) to a friend who has restored a '60s Japanese scope that uses the older ep size.
I did a bit of checking, and it seems that Meade did do 0.965" 'MA' eyepieces many years ago.
That might explain the eyepiece that doesn't fit. I've never seen a Meade 0.965" myself.
At one time an adapter could be fashioned from old 35mm film canisters. Cardboard and duct tape around the eyepiece tube widening it to 1.25" would probably do.
To be fair, some 0.965" eyepieces are considered to be little gems, but I'm not sure the 0.965 MA series was in that bracket.
The 'correct' eyepiece for this telescope is . . .
Thanks for the help! That 9mm eyepiece I was talking about was from a pretty old telescope, probably from the early 1970s. It is a Meade Model 295, and I can't find a trace of information about it on the internet. Anyway, I tried to focus on some trees out the window and it worked, so at least I know it's functional. I would try to take it out tonight but it's going to be rainy and foggy for the next couple of days. I tried disassembling the telescope and clean it up a while ago, but still no luck. I'll try to see if I can get a look at the moon when the weather clears up.
It turns the fog cleared up tonight and I was able to go look at some planets. I tried looking at what I'm pretty sure was mars, but there seems to be another problem. Instead of seeing a bright dot or circle, I see some kind of arc. I really don't understand where it is coming from. I can't seem to take any pictures of through the lens when it's dark, so I'll try to make some pictures of what I'm seeing in Microsoft Paint.
The pictures are not exact, but I tried my best to recreate them.

The first I cannot explain but the second is definitely a view of something bright ans out of focus. You need to adjust the focusser so that the disc is at its smallest.
What about the Moon? Can you get it centred on the Moon and get that in focus?
Once you have the moon in view, you need to get the finder (if it has one) aligned exactly on what's in the centre of the eyepiece.
Also, once it's focused on the Moon - don't change the eyepiece and don't change the focus.
Planets are small and easy to miss, so getting your finder aligned is important.
To be honest, none of the planets are particularly well placed for viewing at the moment, unless you're a very early bird.

The Untold Story on Liverpool FC You Have To Read or Be Overlooked
The high line is a risk if you do not get pressure on the ball and use it. If you have a high line and you do not put any stress on the guy on the ball then, yes, then it is a threat. But that is usually not the case, the difficulty is not the higher line, we will need a higher line to be compact, the trouble is we were in no way close sufficient to place the opponent below pressure. Study on to see what Klopp had to say in his post-match press conference. The Reds suffered a heavy defeat in Italy as the hosts raced into a three-target lead by half-time, with Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Giovanni Simeone adding to Piotr Zielinski's early penalty. Just after the game, Alexander-Arnold spoke to Liverpoolfc.com – read on for his reaction…
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that three first-group players have tested constructive for covid ahead of Liverpool's trip to Chelsea and that it will be clear who they are when the group is announced. To create on his breakthrough season, Williams set off to Swansea at the get started of final season but remained on the periphery just before creating an early Liverpool return. Bradley is extra than capable of a move to the Championship but regular senior game time with Bolton will not be blinked at by the player or the Reds as he continues his development. Brentford have been a breath of fresh air in their initially season in the Premier League, finishing 13th and playing some desirable football along the way.
It is challenging to envision the Reds organizing any January transfer at the moment, but the rumour had been that they'd planned to scoop up the 22-year-old during the winter window. Capable of playing anywhere in attack but compared to Aaron Ramsey, a very first taste of senior action following that summer time in Jurgen Klopp's 1st pre-season at Anfield. Generating an uncompetitive debut against Tranmere Rovers, the then 16-year-old would adhere to it up with back-to-back objectives against Fleetwood Town and Wigan Athletic to set tongues wagging additional. The US owners of Liverpool FC are thinking of a sale of the historic English football club, individuals familiar with the matter said, in what could be 1 of the most useful sports bargains of all time. It tends to make for a different summer time of modify for Jurgen Klopp's squad, and new experiences are also to befall a host of the club's academy players in the coming season. The list of names on the injury list coupled with the players who featured in the Community Shield explain the transform in plans for Liverpool, with no dangers taken with the season now only days away.
Liverpool U21s head coach Barry Lewtas has explained the reasoning behind choosing Arthur Melo in current games. In Germany everybody was saying, 'Tuchel got sacked with 10 points and Klopp stays in a job with nine points' but you do not have to ask me why that is the case. We still have the chance to build some thing seriously specific from this point.
LFC will also mark the passing of Britain's longest-reigning royal at tonight's Champions League tie against AFC Ajax. Players, officials, employees and supporters will come collectively for a period of silence before kick-off. The Meta Avatars Shop attributes digital outfits from global brands supplying a distinctive way to create a digital version of your self and express your personality on the internet. "This deal will supply supporters with the most recent generation of wireless connectivity and enable them to take full advantage of our greatest-in-class digital offerings, even though going to Anfield. Fans can report unofficial ticket sales or fraudulent tickets to LFC right here- and to Action Fraud.
Resiliencia, which requires small translation, was paired with a shushing emoji. It is a Tsimikas cost-free kick from deep on the left and it's easy for Firmino. He runs off the back of Benfica's defensive line, who barely move, Otamendi not even tracking his run, and that leaves him a single on 1. He keeps his eye on the incoming ball and places it past the helpless Vlachodimos.
We had good games in the other program, specially in the Champions League, exactly where we played actually nicely in a 4-four-2, for example. That's the only positive factor that happened so far in the season, that we played and won in various systems. We don't doubt the top quality, I don't feel anyone doubts the good quality.
The Premier League title race provided football fans with additional than their fair share of drama. Jurgen Klopp isn't going to give his second half group the honour of a complete 45 minutes. Liverpool player 'ratings' for the 2- pre-season friendly win more than Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in Singapore. Provided the size of Liverpool as a club, we are fortunate to have lots of excellent Twitter accounts to stick to, regardless of whether that be players, writers, statisticians or those who function within the club. It is unlikely that he can keep scoring these type of howitzer's with this level of frequency. But he's now ensured that he'll be in Aberdeen's starting eleven for the immediate future.
They sell-to-acquire, which means transfer sales are utilized to raise funds to bring in new players, rather than throwing revenue at fresh signings. Mo Salah scored the only goal of the game to inflict the first defeat of the season on a defensive Blues outfit and prove Pep Guardiola correct that Liverpool are nonetheless really considerably contenders to win the Premier League title. Other players will continue to be drip-fed back into coaching right after their international exertions in the course of the summer all through the week, ahead of the pre-season tour to Asia. Oakley Cannonier enjoyed an unprecedented campaign in front of objective for the club's academy last season.
The likes of Man United, West Ham and Chelsea were all linked with him in the summer season, just after he played a key part in PSV's second successive runner-up finish in the Eredivisie. Thiago right away finds himself marking three players by himself and freezes, permitting the 1st straightforward pass out. For all the cruel and frankly bizarre parodying and incessant hot-takes understanding about Nunez's Liverpool performances, he is going to score a lot of ambitions for this football club. UEFA have officially credited the objective to Salah, meaning the No.11 has gone level with Steven Gerrard as the club's all-time leading scorer in Europe on 41, in half as quite a few games.
Ben Davies has to throw himself in front of Mo Salah, who reduce inside onto his left, edge of the area, and unleashes a shot towards purpose. You anticipated to see the net ripple, but Davies wasn't going to let that occur. It takes a wicked deflection that wrongfoots Lloris, and the goalkeeper can only watch is it passed low to his proper. In the end, it completed 1-1 — a result that does not assist either side in any considerable read this way. The draw sent Liverpool top on target distinction but handed City and benefit, even though Arsenal will now appear to pull away from their local rivals just before next week's north London derby. Agents are renowned leaches but mentioning your "boyhood team" is a nonsense as you showed no loyalty or patience.
Even if this campaign ends up getting a major blip for Klopp's side, the transfer market place will not grow to be impossible to navigate. Jones, indeed, is a young player at 1 of the biggest clubs in the planet who's protected by a contract that runs until June 2025. That is certainly a valid excuse for Jones but it's also correct that the majority, or the vast majority if you're getting specifically ruthless, of his 32 appearances considering that the begin of final season have been forgettable. Captain Jordan Henderson replaced Fabinho in defensive midfield, while Curtis Jones came on for Harvey Elliott on the suitable side of the diamond. Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier then resumed play with a objective-kick but a thumping header from Joe Gomez set Liverpool straight back onto the front foot. Joyce Li of Hype Beast reveals that the 18-time All-Star's latest shoe, the Nike Air Max 1 "Liverpool," is developed to showcase his ties to Liverpool Football Club, in which he's had a 2% ownership stake for 11 years.
Despite creating just 1 appearance for Liverpool right after his last-ditch loan move from Juventus, Arthur suffered a muscular injury in the create-up to his side's house victory more than Rangers and will now be out for around 3 to four months. Keïta's return to education represents considerable olyjournal.blogspot.com progress in the Guinea international's recovery from injury. His most recent look was a cameo in the Neighborhood Shield just beneath 3 months ago. It is yet to be noticed whether or not the 21-year-old can recover and earn a spot in Sunday's squad.
The clash – the Reds' 63rd competitive fixture of the season – is, of course, a rematch of the 2018 showdown in Kyiv, where Klopp's men were beaten three-1 by True. Liverpool are hopeful Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho will be readily available for choice for Saturday's Champions League final against Actual Madrid. Because Klopp took more than from Brendan Rodgers in October 2015, the typical age of Liverpool's squad has for the most aspect improved each and every season. As for Darwin Nunez, his impressive Premier League debut off the bench against Fulham helped highlight how the 23-year-old can make an influence now, not just years down the line. The latter has currently established himself throughout his two years at Anfield, as lately recognised with a new five-year contract.
