Alonso Ortiz de Argueta o más conocido como Alonso Ortiz de Elgueta (Almendralejo , Extremadura, España, ca. 1525 – f. Provincia de Honduras, Imperio español, ca. 1580) fue un abogado español que fue  designado en el año 1552 por la Real Audiencia de Guatemala como alcalde mayor de Nicaragua y en 1555 como alcalde mayor de Yucatán. Fue el tercer español que gobernó con ese título en el siglo XVI en el Yucatán. También fue gobernador de Honduras.

Datos personales

Alonso Ortiz de Elgueta nació hacia 1525 en la localidad de Almendralejo , Extremadura. Fue hijo de Rodrigo Yáñez y Elvira Ortiz. Contrajo matrimonio con María Calleja, natural de Zafra, y tuvo con ella dos hijos llamados Rodrigo Yáñez y María Ortiz.

Se graduó como licenciado en Leyes.

Alcalde Mayor de Nicaragua
El 22 de junio de 1552 fue designado por Alonso López Cerrato, presidente de la Real Audiencia de Guatemala o Real Audiencia de los Confines, como se llamaba oficialmente), como alcalde mayor de Nicaragua. Ejerció ese cargo hasta el 12 de abril de 1553, fecha en que le reemplazó Nicolas López de Urraga, quien también llevó a cabo el juicio de residencia de Ortiz de Elgueta.

Alcalde mayor de Yucatán
El año de 1552 la provincia de Yucatán que había estado bajo la jurisdicción de la Real Audiencia de México pasó a depender de la Audiencia de los Confines, por determinación del emperador Carlos V. Cuatro alcaldes mayores nombrados por los Confines se sucedieron en el cargo como gobernantes de Yucatán a partir de entonces: de 1553 a 1554, Gaspar Suárez de Ávila que fue ratificado por Guatemala después de la importante tarea de visitador que desempeñó Tomás López Medel; de 1554 a finales de 1555, periodo en que gobernó Álvaro de Carvajal; después arribó de Guatemala para gobernar la provincia de Yucatán el tercer alcalde mayor, Alonso Ortiz de Argueta; finalmente, sucediendo a este, a partir de 1557 y hasta finales de 1560, Juan de Paredes, quien fue el cuarto y último alcalde mayor nombrado por los Confines. Después de él vendría otro visitador, Jufré de Loaiza, y más tarde un alcalde mayor más, Diego de Quijada, que sería el último funcionario español en ejercer el mando del gobierno de Yucatán con ese título, aunque este fue nombrado directamente por el rey Felipe II de España y ya no por la Real Audiencia de los Confines. A partir de eso, quienes ejercieron el mando político y administrativo en la provincia de Yucatán serían denominados gobernadores.

Poco tiempo antes de la llegado de Alonso Ortiz de Argueta se había iniciado una sublevación importante en la región oriental de la península encabezada por varios caudillos mayas que se manifestaban violentamente contra el dominio de los españoles, entre los cuales el batab Kul Chuc, quien más tarde fue apresado y ajusticiado por Macán Pech, también caudillo maya pero del poniente, quien auxilió a los españoles en el control de la insurrección que se extendió por varios poblados orientales como Chancenote, Nabalán, Yaxcabá y Kanxoc, antes de ser definitivamente aplacada ya en el año de 1557.

Durante el gobierno de Ortiz de Argueta tuvo lugar la abdicación de Carlos I de España en favor de su hijo Felipe II, quien accedió al trono el 16 de enero de 1556. Para honrar al nuevo soberano y a manera de celebración se organizaron en Yucatán suntuosas fiestas que tuvieron lugar entre el 25 de diciembre de 1557 y el 6 de enero de 1558. En ellas participó destacadamente Francisco de Montejo (el mozo), hijo del Adelantado, homónimo, que había muerto en Salamanca, España, en 1553. El mozo se había quedado en Yucatán y a la sazón se desempeñaba como alcalde ordinario de Mérida.

En tales festividades, el Alcalde Mayor recibió de parte de los residentes españoles, antiguos participantes en la conquista de Yucatán -entonces ya encomenderos-, religiosos y de los caciques (bataob) mayas ya sometidos, el juramento de fidelidad al nuevo rey. Entre los caciques mayas que juraron lealtad a Felipe II de España estuvieron: Francisco Euán, halach huinik de Chakán; Francisco Pom de Umán; Melchor Pech, de Chuburná; Francisco Cuytún, de Tetiz; Francisco Montejo Xiu, de Maní; Francisco Pech, de Conkal; Gaspar Yam de Hocabá y otros más.

En 1558 se recibió la noticia de que los piratas ingleses se habían apoderado de Isla del Carmen (hoy Campeche), volviéndola a partir de entonces su centro de operaciones y ataques en contra de la península de Yucatán. Durante su gobierno, el Alcalde Mayor tuvo serias dificultades con los frailes franciscanos por causa de su decisión de que los indígenas de la región oriental podían volver a sus pueblos originales para repoblarlos. Los religiosos argumentaban que esto iba en contra de una cédula real que ordenaba que los naturales debían congregarse en las poblaciones mayores para facilitar su evangelización. El gobernante impuso su criterio y esto motivo una queja en contra de él ante la Real Audiencia de Guatemala.

Ortiz de Argueta gobernó hasta fines de 1558 la provincia de Yucatán, año en que fue sustituido, como quedó asentado, por Juan de Paredes, también nombrado por los Confines.

Alcalde mayor designado de Nicaragua
El 13 de diciembre de 1559, mediante una real cédula expedida en Toledo, el rey Felipe II lo nombró otra vez como alcalde mayor de Nicaragua y juez de residencia del alcalde mayor don Francisco de Mendoza, y además se le comisionó para la conquista de Costa Rica, pero debido a que se dedicó a vender ilegalmente licencias de viaje, su nombramiento quedó sin efecto y se le siguió un proceso, al término del cual se le condenó a destierro de las Indias por un año.

Gobernador de Honduras
En 1562 fue nombrado gobernador de Comayagua (hoy Honduras), cargo que ejerció hasta 1567. Llevó a  cabo el juicio de residencia de Pedro de Salvatierra, su predecesor en el gobierno de Honduras.

Durante su gobierno envió al piloto Andrés Martín a explorar las costas de la gobernación, desde el cabo Camarón en el noreste hasta el río San Juan de Nicaragua, Además Ortiz de Elgueta marchó a la Taguzgalpa y en las orillas de la laguna de Cartago (hoy de Caratasca; Gracias a Dios) fundó en 1564 la ciudad de Elgueta, que un año después trasladó más de 30 leguas al sur, a orillas del río Guarunta, en tierras llanas y que se creían ricas en oro. Después el gobernador regresó a Trujillo. La ciudad fue despoblada en 1567 debido a la resistencia de los indígenas.

Fue sometido a juicio de residencia en 1568 por Juan de Vargas Carvajal, sucesor suyo en la gobernación de Honduras y juez nombrado al efecto.

Hello All, The winter bridal season passed with the blink of an eye. I was so fortunate to have worked with some lovely brides and their family members this time.
As a makeup Artist and trainer, this is one question that i am asked the maximum, "How to choose the right kind of foundation?"

 * Rules:
 * The instructions input contains one of three commands (join, inner, outer).
 * The command can be in upper or lower case, or mixed case.  If the instructions input
 * contains no command, or more than one command, the method should return the string "ERROR".
 * This error requirement should take priority over all others.
 *
 * If the command is "join", then the output should be the concatenation of the two strings.  For example,
 * if the two strings are "xyz" and "123" then the joined output is "xyz123".
 *
 * If the command is inner or outer, then the instruction string will also contains a single digit in the
 * range of [0,1,3, ..., 9].  If the instruction string contains no digits or more than one digit, then
 * it should return the string "NO_NUMBER".
 *
 * Let d be the digit in the command.
 *
 * If the command is outer, then the method should return the first d characters of the first string and the

 * the method should return xy23.
 *
 * If the command is inner, the the method should return the last d characters of the first string and the

So, are you also very much excited about Google AMP, Facebook Instant Article Or Apple News Format like others? In this article we will shine light about some unbelievable limitations of all 3 mobile framework, which will make it pretty useless for a normal website owner, even if your site is in WordPress! Take a deep breath and keep reading, this is a very important discussion.
Almost exactly same time all 3 big player Google, Facebook & Apple brought their own mobile framework to make the mobile web faster. Though their motivation behind this framework is very different, but all those framework does mainly 2 things, make the mobile web lean, and super fast. As it sounds very promising (not saying those are not helpful), but in reality how much they are useful for a normal (WordPress) website? Let's dig deep.
Let's first see how Google AMP works.
Do you see clearly how Google AMP Works?
2) It has to be very fresh, after 24hr, the article will not appear as AMP.
3) Article has to be ranked well enough to be included in Google Top Stories.
Do, you see the issue? So, if you have configured AMp for your site, if you use WordPress its even way easier, still you user will not see those AMP page if you are not a News Publisher, and your user will have to discover you article 24hr within you publish.
What about all other pages from Google Mobile Search? No, they will appear as usual, no AMP there.
1) Create a kind of templates/ themes for your site (mainly single post) which serves your content with complete AMP version, basically very lean and output with specific markup and serves minimal external resource and mostly rely on a service named amp-cdn.
2) And serves that amp templates when you site is accessed with an suffix "/amp/".
And to let Google know that you have an amp version of a page, you have to add this markup in your normal version.
1) Your article does not show up as AMP just 24hr after publish.
2) Normal Google Search visitor does not see your AMP Version.
3) None of your direct or any other mobile visitor sees AMP version.
4) You have to rank amazingly good to be listed in Top Stories! Which is undoubtedly super tough.
So most likely unless you are a big news corporation publishing news in every few minute, and your most traffic comes from Google Search, Google AMP will not make any difference in total user experience at all.
So, if you are using Facebook apps for iOS or Android, you will notice the lighting sign on top of some link share, tapping on that opens up the article/news instantly. Thats Facebook Instant Article, its truly Instant.
Here is the main plugin created by Automattic.
It's only for Facebook App user, not normal facebook user or even normal mobile user.
Its not available for your Search Visitor and direct user.
RSS feed is a old dieing technology.
* This limitation will go away, when Facebook will open its door for Instant Article for all publisher from 12th April on Facebook's Annual F8 Conference.
Apple released Apple News with iOS 9 last year. At the beginning access to its News App as publisher to just limited 20 publisher. Later it opened the door for others via RSS, but it has rather strict process for publisher to get approve. Now Apple released its own News Format on 17th March. Their technology is very past, they seems to cache the image and content are merely jSON data, so no JS, so very fast.
WordPress has complete support and free plugin for Apple News. We actually did a detail piece with How-To guide, check that article.
With new Apple News Format, I do see people are complaining it's very hard to get into, and get approved.
As Apple News format does not support some very common HTML markup, so you will end up having so many issues sending your article to Apple News.
No way to automatically sending your old article to Apple News.
Though there is reportedly 1 Billion Apple device on Planet Earth, still this is just for Apple, other smart device user will not get any benefit.
Even your user who is coming from iPhone or iPad will not see the Apple News's charming fast version, unless they use "Apple News" app, and have your channel added.
If you follow me, you should know I am personally always worked so closely in faster mobile experience. We even created our own framework, which you could see if you visit this site from any mobile device or access directly here at – m.thetechjournal.com . And we created this 3 years ago, because we felt the need of something else to make the mobile web faster. This 3 new framework is very charming, but its real life use case is still very limited. If we truly want benefit we need faster mobile framework that works for all visitor, from any mobile device. There is more innovation to happen, let's hope more stuff will come to bring more benefit from those 3 framework.
This is an open discussion, so please feel free to criticize my opinion or add your own. Let's hope from this conversation we will have some good out come. For me personally, just while researching on this article, I got few ideas how we could benefit more. Maybe you will see some stuff very soon, who knows!


We live in a world that espouses maximum productivity. Everything is becoming more efficient, as we all realize that time is our most precious commodity.
Need a new blouse? I can order that with the click of a button. No more milk in the fridge? There is a button for that too!
Unfortunately, students and their teachers are high up on the list of the commonly overwhelmed. While I am not going to start to analyze all the reasons this may be so, I am going to try and tackle the issue.
How can we help ourselves to manage all the paperwork necessary that comes with teaching? How can we help ourselves learn how to balance our passion for our profession with a healthy family life?
First, we have to start with a system of time management equipped for teachers. A recently popular system, that is quickly inspiring a new movement, is called the bullet journal (or BuJo for short). This is the system that I currently use and have found to be most effective. As an educator and on a personal level, having tried many different types of time-management journals/systems/apps, this one has yet to be beat.
Bullet journaling is a simple system that consists of scheduling, goal setting, and note-taking all in one.
Consider it your magic notebook–so small, yet it contains everything.
The great thing about the bullet journal is that it is versatile. You can really use it for everything, and you have creative license to use it in the way that works best for you. Unlike a tradition planner that restricts you to a certain template, the bullet journal is flexible and even allows for your ideas to flourish in between the pages of goals and planning.
It is important to note that this system is a good, old-fashioned pen and paper system. This is not to be replicated in the digital world. Part of the genius of the bullet journal system is that it forces you to write down your tasks, your thoughts, and your daily minutiae.
Handwriting helps you to mentally process what you are writing down in a way that typing doesn't allow for. With writing something down, you are also twice as likely to remember it.
As a system, it seems as if the bullet journal was made for educators. A versatile, robust, purse/pocket friendly solution for an occupation described by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as leading to hectic schedules with little time for rest and recuperation.
In a study done on educators who use the bullet journal system, 85% of educators admit to using their bullet journal daily. Some of the top responses for how teachers are using their bullet journals included: meeting notes, logging, scheduling, daily tasks, and lesson planning.
The most important thing that bullet journaling does for educators is free up their minds to complete more significant cognitive processing. Psychologist Daniel Levitin suggests that when our mind is busy with trying to remember menial tasks, it takes up cognitive space needed for more important thinking to occur. Yet, it is not good enough to simply get these things out of your mind and down on paper. You need an organized system for doing so.
If anyone needs their minds free for more complicated cognitive processing, it surely must be teachers!
Productivity expert Laura Vanderkam, describes the effectiveness of keeping a time log in her book I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Make the Most of Their Time. She advocates for tracking as much of your day as possible, thus creating a time log. In doing so, you are able to give yourself a time makeover.
You can see what time you do have available and what time you spend on needless things. You can also see where you spend the majority of your time to help you prioritize your most precious commodity.
Laura pushes for a healthy balance, showing that successful women are able to spend quality time with family–a top priority for most parents–while keeping their businesses and careers flourishing.
Similarly, educators can do the same. By using the bullet journal to keep a time log and ultimately give yourself a time makeover, you are able to take control of the one thing that constantly seems to be slipping from our grip–time.


It's been nearly 18 months since Sajid Javid, the Tory Government's Housing Minister published the White Paper "Fixing the Broken UK Housing Market", meanwhile Northampton property values continue to rise at 4.4% (year on year for the council area) and the number of new homes being constructed locally bumps along at a snail's pace, creating a potential perfect storm for those looking to buy and sell.
The White Paper is important for the UK and Northampton people, as it will ensure we have long-term stability and longevity in property market as whole. Northampton home-owners and Northampton landlords need to be aware of these issues in the report to ensure they don't lose out and ensure the local housing market is fit for purpose. The White Paper wanted more homes to be built in the next couple of decades, so it might seem counter-intuitive for existing home-owners and landlords to encourage more homes to be built and a change in the direction of housing provision – as this would appear to have a negative effect on their own property.
Yet the country needs a diversified and fluid property market to allow the economy as whole to grow and flourish… which in turn will be a greater influence on whether prices go up or down in the long term. I am sure every homeowner or landlord in Northampton doesn't want another housing crisis like we had in 1974, 1988 and most recently in 2008.
For planning to work, we need a robust Planning Dept. Looking at data from the Local Government's Association, in Northampton, the council is below the regional average, only spending £30.18 per person for the Planning authority, compared the regional average of £32.05 per head – which will mean the planning department will be hard pressed to meet those targets.
Also, 98% of planning applications are decided within the statutory 8-week initial period, above the regional average of 89% (see the graph below). I am slightly disappointed and also pleased with the numbers for our local authority when it comes to the planning and the budget allowed by our Politian to this vital service.
It won't surprise you that 211,113 of 212,069 Northampton residents live in the urban conurbations of the authority, giving a density of 27.4 people per hectare (again – much lower than I initially thought), whilst the villages have a density of 2.5 people per hectare.
Talking to a lot of Northampton people, their biggest fear of all this building is a lack of infrastructure for those extra houses (the extra roads, doctors surgeries, schools, etc.). I know most Northampton homeowners and landlords want more houses to be built to house their family and friends… but irrespective of the density… it's the infrastructure that goes with the housing that is just as important… and this is where I think the White Paper failed to go as far as I feel it should have done.

Q: Derivative in spherical coordinates Can someone please explain where this comes from? My textbook only says that is a derivative in spherical coordinates. (r is a position vector and $U$ is the potential energy).
$-\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial \textbf{r}} = -\left(\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial R}\textbf{e}_R+\dfrac{1}{R}\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial \theta}\textbf{e}_{\theta}+\dfrac{1}{R\sin\theta}\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial \varphi}\textbf{e}_{\varphi}\right)$

A: This is the gradient operator in spherical coordinates. See: here. Look under the heading "Del formulae." This page demonstrates the complexity of these type of formulae in general. You can derive these with careful manipulation of partial derivatives too if you know what you're doing.
The other option is to learn some (basic) Differential Geometry. You can take a course or read a book on it if you really care. Depending on your field of interest, you may not need to care about HOW to get this.

A: Hints: first, the LHR $U$ and the RHS $U$ are different functions. The first (I will call it $V$) is the potential energy in cartesian coordinates, the second is the potential energy in spherical coordinates. They are related by
$$V(x(R,\theta,\varphi),y(R,\theta,\varphi),z(R,\theta,\varphi)) = U(R,\theta,\varphi).$$
$$V(x,y,z) = U(R(x,y,z),\theta(x,y,z),\varphi(x,y,z)).$$
You can find the relation between the partial derivatives of $U$ and $V$ using the chain rule.
Now,
$$
\frac{\partial V}{\partial\mathbf r} =
\frac{\partial V}{\partial x}{\mathbf i} +
\frac{\partial V}{\partial y}{\mathbf j} +
\frac{\partial V}{\partial z}{\mathbf k} =
\frac{\partial V}{\partial\mathbf r} =
(\cdots){\mathbf i} +
(\cdots){\mathbf j} +
(\cdots){\mathbf k}
$$
(where the $(\cdots)$ are the partial derivatives of $V$ expressed using the partial derivatives of $U$.
Last step: write ${\mathbf i}, {\mathbf j}, {\mathbf k}$ in the new base ${\mathbf e}_R,{\mathbf e}_\theta,{\mathbf e}_\varphi$.

Whoops, Malaysians' Proficiency In English Standards Saw A Drop, But It's Okay
Photo: British Council Malaysia
The annual English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) 2019 has just been released, ranking countries and regions based on the EF Standard English Test scores of over 2.3 million people across 100 countries and regions.
While Malaysia is comfortably ranked as top 3 in Asia for its English standards, we did however slide from the 22nd to the 26th spot overall.
Photo: English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) 2019
Despite that, The National Union of Teaching Services (NUTP) secretary-general Harry Tan Huat Hock said Malaysia's result was still impressive.
He told Astro Awani that "First we do not know how the instruments are used, we only know what they are looking for but how they manage and measure, we have no check and balance."
"Secondly, like Singapore, English is the official language compared to our country, where English is the second language. Hence, in terms of measurements, we can see there is a lack of reliability and validity in the comparison done by the study," he said
In the interview, he added while some of the industries in the country had shown good English proficiency including in the service industry, more attention should be given to strengthening English language proficiency in higher learning institutions.
"So, it is a very important and clear message to the people of this country that if we want to be an international player, we have no choice but to master English formally," he reiterates.
The EF EPI Index placed the Netherlands in first place, followed by Scandinavian countries Sweden, Norway and Denmark for having very high proficiency in the English language.
Amongst countries that do not practice English as their native language, Europeans had the highest English standard, while those in the Middle East had the lowest.
The Index reports that over half of Asian countries saw a drop in English proficiency this year while English standards in the region remained the same, despite further investments in private and public English education.
This year, Sri Lanka saw the largest drop in English standards while Singapore defended its title as top in Asia for English standards, followed by the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong and India.

So yeah, in other news....Scott Pilgrim was amazing. I was really impressed with it and Edgar Wright can never go wrong....didn't mean for the pun: but it happened. I want to go see it again, and I will damnit!!
I did my first mountain launch in my hang glider last week off of West Rutland's launch site. It was AMAZING. The sun was setting as I jumped about 1400' out into Vermont's pretty pretty sky. I was really nervous I'd fall short of the landing zone so I pulled in a lot and sank a bit, but for 7 minutes it felt like the most lucid dream humanly possible. My god, It's weird cause it happened so fast it feels like it was a dream. I even got to be a human vulture and pull a 360 over the highway before coming in to land in the field. I can't wait to do it again, and in fall it should be really really pretty.
Also! Check out my new Scipionyx Dinosaur bust I just posted. I'm sending it out to be molded and should have it ready to start shipping out mid Sept. I'll accept pre-orders! Just send me a message!

Tories accused of 'watering down' motion to tackle climate change in Surrey
Environment campaigners stormed out of a meeting after councillors voted through changes stripping back the pledge

Environment campaigners stormed out of a Surrey County Council (SCC) meeting after a motion to set a target to tackle climate change was "watered down" and voted through.
The council had been asked to commit to its "duty" to limit the negative impacts of climate breakdown and to pledge to make Surrey carbon neutral by 2030.
The motion, put forward by SCC's only Green Party councillor Jonathan Essex, called for councillors to declare a climate emergency in the county and to take a leadership role with the boroughs and districts to look at ways to reduce production and consumption emissions.
But a last minute amendment was put forward by the ruling Conservative party cabinet member for environment, Councillor Mike Goodman, at the council meeting on Tuesday (March 19) - stripping back the pledge and deleting any reference to duty, targets and commitment.
Rocco Secker, 8, led a student strike against climate change outside Reigate's Old Town Hall (Image: Grahame Larter)
The motion came just days after schoolchildren around the country, including pupils in Guildford, walked out of classrooms on Friday (March 15) protesting about climate change.
Councillors hit back at the last minute change to the motion criticising the council for "running in the opposite direction" of its responsibilities.
And there were heckles from the gallery as the vote was passed through as a group of residents from across the county, including Dorking, Farnham and Godalming, grabbed their placards and walked out of the public gallery shouting "shame on you".
Cllr Will Forster, Liberal Democrat, said the changes to a pledge or a commitment "negated" the proposals and ignored the two main key points to the paper.
Children, parents and staff of local schools (St. Johns & Lime Trees) took strike action against climate change (Image: Grahame Larter)
He said: "This motion should have had cross-party support. It has had cross-party support elsewhere in the country.
"It's clear that there is an appetite to lead on climate change."
He said the children protesting were leading the way and that "the government, this council and the Conservatives aren't", adding: "They are not just not following those children, they are running in the opposite direction."
Cllr Penny Rivers, Liberal Democrat, said she receives more emails on the subject of climate change than anything else.
Cllr Mike Goodman claims the council is 'among the greenest in the country'
But Cllr Goodman said the council was committed to climate change and listed a number of initiatives SCC has approved, saying the council was "among one of the greenest in the country".
Action, he listed, included, reducing carbon emissions by changing street lighting; changing the way council staff work; low emissions planning policy promoting energy saving; electric buses in Guildford; a recycling strategy; and that school pupils were encouraged to walk and cycle.
He said they had secured more than £50 million of funding in the past three years to "improve the road network".
He mentioned the county-wide single-use plastic strategy adding the county will be the first in the country to use only paper straws for consumers through its business.
Cllr Jonathan Essex accused Cllr Goodman of 'clutching at paper straws'
Cllr Essex hit back and said "talk is cheap" and Cllr Goodman was "clutching at paper straws" by thinking they were doing enough.
He said all he was asking for was the council to make a commitment to plan and do something about climate change.
He said: "We don't need to debate whether climate science is real or not, we need to get on and do something about it."
The amendment was backed in a voted through by 52 votes to 13.
The final motion pushed through with 49 votes for, and 10 voting against. There were three abstentions.

Post-election crackdown on the press continues in Belarus
January 11, 2011 5:09 PM ET
New York, January 11, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the ongoing official crackdown against the independent media in Belarus. The Belarusian security service, known as the KGB, continues to relentlessly raid newsrooms, confiscate reporting equipment from publications and journalists' homes, imprison independent and pro-opposition journalists, and harass their families.
At around 4 p.m. on Saturday, three local police officers detained prominent journalist Andrzej Poczobut, a correspondent for Poland's largest daily, Gazeta Wyborcza, outside his home in the western city of Grodno. They gave him a KGB summons and took him to the Grodno security service headquarters, where agents interrogated him for three hours about his alleged participation at the December 19 protest rally in Minsk. (Poczobut was present at the rally covering events for Gazeta Wyborcza.) In the course of the interrogation, the agents struck him in the chest and head when he refused to answer questions without his lawyer, Poczobut told CPJ. Before he was let go, the KGB handed him a written warning that said he would face a criminal charge of participating in mass disorder--a charge that carries up to eight years in prison--if he is present at a similar event in the future.
In two incidents on Monday, police in the city of Borisov, Minsk region, raided the newsroom of the independent weekly Borisovskiye Novosti and the apartment of its editor, Anatoly Bukas. Police confiscated all of the newspaper's electronic equipment, including 12 computers; three fax machines, three cameras; a printer; a scanner; multiple flash drives and computer discs; and Bukas' personal laptop computer. Police also raided Bukas' home and took his camera, the Minsk-based Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ) reported.
"The authorities must stop this protracted crackdown at once," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "We call on KGB agents in Grodno to stop harassing Andrzej Poczobut and allow him to work without fear of reprisal. We demand that Minsk authorities immediately return all confiscated equipment from the newsroom of Borisovskiye Novosti and from the home of its editor, Anatoly Bukas."
BAJ reported that oficers showed a search warrant to the newsroom from the Minsk Regional KGB Department that said the search was a part of a criminal case looking into "mass disorder"--an umbrella indictment that has been used to round up independent and pro-opposition journalists as well as opposition activists since demonstrators gathered in downtown Minsk on December 19 to protest the results of a flawed presidential vote.
According to local reports, the KGB is continuing to pressure imprisoned journalists Irina Khalip and Natalya Radina. Andrei Bastunets, a lawyer with BAJ, told CPJ defense lawyers and family members have been refused visits with Khalip and Radina since late December. Authorities cite the KGB's alleged lack of a specialized room for visitation as the reason, Bastunets said. Khalip is a local correspondent for the Moscow-based newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and Radina is the chief-editor of the pro-opposition news website Charter 97; both are charged with organizing and participating in mass disorder and face up to 15 years in jail if convicted.

. Users searching for your products or services will be able to clearly see how close (or far) they are from your business' physical location. In addition to your ad text, you can also include a phone number or add an image of your company logo or one of the products you carry. Whether it's a hotel or flowers, pizza or plumbing, you can get key information about your business in front of potential customers as they browse or shop locally online.
If your business has multiple locations, you can promote them all within the same Ad Group or campaign using the same keyword lists -- your ads will appear whenever someone is searching for those keywords near any one of your locations. Local business ads are associated with business listings in Google Local, so check to make sure your listings are included and up-to-date. If you want to make changes, simply visit the Local Business Center. And, for those of you with more than ten business locations, you might want to consider uploading a feed.
Ready to let your customers know exactly where you are on the map? Just click the 'Create New Local Business Ad' link from within the Ad Group view of your account to get started. Or, learn more about local business ads first.
With local business ads, you can promote your business location within the map on Google Local. Users searching for your products or services will be able to clearly see how close (or far) they are from your business' physical location. In addition to your ad text, you can also include a phone number or add an image of your company logo or one of the products you carry. Whether it's a hotel or flowers, pizza or plumbing, you can get key information about your business in front of potential customers as they browse or shop locally online.
In this increasingly global marketplace, you may find that your customers don't necessarily all speak the same language (literally). You can take advantage of the language targeting options within AdWords to display ads to users in 56 different languages – everything from English or French to Icelandic and Thai. You can choose your language targeting preferences when you create a new campaign, or change existing preferences under "Edit Campaign Settings." To target multiple languages in a single campaign, hold down the CTRL key and click the languages of your choice.
Note: many advertisers ask if Google will translate keywords and ad text into different languages—and no, we do not. The ads will appear just as you've written them. So, for this reason, if you have, say, German customers but don't feel comfortable creating campaigns in German, we recommend that you seek help from professional translators in order to come up with the best ads and keywords for your customers.
Advanced example: another question we often hear is whether or not the ad text must be in the same language as the one(s) being targeted, and the answer is no. For example, if you wanted to target French-speaking prospective customers using an ad written in English, you could choose "French" in your language targeting preferences and still submit an English ad. We can't guarantee that the ad will receive a good response, but when Google detects that a user's language preference is French, and he or she types in one of your chosen keywords, your English-language ad may be displayed.
Local, Regional, National or International?
If you sell your products or services to customers in a particular area, you may want to consider creating location targeted campaigns. AdWords allows you to target your ads to potential customers in cities, regions, territories, countries, or any area that you define by points on a map. For more detailed explanations, check out our previous post about location targeting.
Homework: you can learn more about these targeting options by reviewing these resources below.
Stay tuned for part 2 of this lesson, in which we'll tell you how to target the search and content networks, as well as explain the difference between keyword and site targeting.
One of the biggest reasons why AdWords can be so effective for your business is that it provides the ability to target your ads specifically to your prospective customers. AdWords offers a variety of targeting options, such as language, location, distribution (where your ads appear), and criteria (by keyword or by site). Today we'll cover the first two: language and location.
While everything you create within your account remains there permanently as an historical overview of your account's performance, hiding deleted campaigns, Ad Groups, ad creatives, or deleted keywords is actually quick and easy. And, should you ever decide that you want to see what you've done in the past, you may easily do so.
You may choose to hide deleted campaigns from the Campaign Summary page of your account by selecting "Show only active campaigns" (or "Show all but deleted campaigns" which will still show your paused campaigns) from the drop-down menu located near the top-center of the chart that shows your campaign stats.
Similarly, to hide deleted Ad Groups, go the campaign within which that Ad Group is located. Then, select "Show only active Ad Groups" (or "Show all but deleted Ad Groups") from the drop-down menu. In this case, you'll find this menu above and to the left of your campaign statistics chart. It's beneath the header that shows the campaign's name.
And, if you want to hide deleted keywords and deleted ads, simply make sure the check box that says "Include deleted items that were active in this date range" is unchecked. You'll find the check box above your keyword list, just below the date range tool, in the Ad Group view of your account.
For all of these settings, once you make a selection, that setting will be applied every time you log in to your account until you change it. If you do change your mind later, just select the appropriate option from the drop-down menus and/or the check box mentioned above. Voila!
at Inside AdWords got together for dinner at a local Cuban restaurant after work. While we promised we wouldn't talk about AdWords (we do that all day!), we found it difficult to extend that agreement to other Google products. From locating the restaurant to finding our favorite Cuban recipe online, we were reminded how Google services come in handy not only when you're hungry, but also when you're trying to maximize exposure to your local business.
First, we found the restaurant using Google Local. Luckily for us, this restaurant was already listed in the local search results. If your business isn't, be sure to visit the Local Business Center to learn more about how to get listed for free. Next, we performed a quick search on Google.com to locate the restaurant's menu and ensure that there was something for everyone (check out last week's post for more about search results inclusion). To save paper, we sent the address to Sarah's mobile phone and were on our way.
The next day, both Blake and Vivian found themselves looking for mementos from our team dinner. In an effort to diversify his Google t-shirt collection, Blake searched for one of the restaurant's t-shirts on Froogle. Unfortunately, this didn't lead to what he was looking for, but if the restaurant owners had made their shirts available on Froogle, he would have been able to get pricing information and more online. Meanwhile, Vivian couldn't shake her craving for fried plantains and wanted to make them at home. So it was off to Google Base, where she found relevant recipes -- but none from the restaurant itself. Had the chef of this particular restaurant wanted to share his sweet secrets to success, he could have submitted his own recipe to Base too.
While you're already well aware of how AdWords ads can help people find your business, remember that making it accessible to users doesn't stop there. By using a variety of Google services, you may reach potential customers wherever they're searching, whether they're looking for an address, a menu, or a t-shirt.
Not long ago, the four of us at Inside AdWords got together for dinner at a local Cuban restaurant after work. While we promised we wouldn't talk about AdWords (we do that all day!), we found it difficult to extend that agreement to other Google products. From locating the restaurant to finding our favorite Cuban recipe online, we were reminded how Google services come in handy not only when you're hungry, but also when you're trying to maximize exposure to your local business.
The most important thing to know is that there is no connection of any sort between the unpaid search results and the paid sponsored links -- so being an AdWords advertiser will neither help nor harm one's ranking within the search results.
This leaves the important question of how to get your site to appear in the search results, since being an advertiser is not a factor in being included. Well, we'd be pleased to help you on your way. You'll find some very useful information on this topic on the Google Information for Webmasters page, including answers to such frequently asked questions as "How Do I Get My Site Listed on Google?".
Also, be sure to refer to our past posts about Google Sitemaps, which allows webmasters to give Google information about their sites so that we may index them effectively.

useful, because we've added even more! You can now review global traffic trends (all languages, all countries) along with search volume for all your potential keywords (same languages and countries). For example, for the keyword 'bathing suits' you'll see how search volume varies each month for the last 12 months as well as which month (June -- no surprise!) saw the highest volume.
You can access this feature from the AdWords home page as well as from within your account.
We've also added the option to add keywords of any match type, including negative keywords, directly to any Ad Group. We hope that these improvements to the Keyword Tool make your keyword performance estimates easier to understand and use.
Be sure to try out these new additions -- and as always, feel free to let us know what features you'd like to see in the Keyword Tool in the future.
We hope that you're finding the recently added search performance data useful, because we've added even more! You can now review global traffic trends (all languages, all countries) along with search volume for all your potential keywords (same languages and countries). For example, for the keyword 'bathing suits' you'll see how search volume varies each month for the last 12 months as well as which month (June -- no surprise!) saw the highest volume.
Next time you create a new keyword-targeted campaign, keep an eye out for the yellow box at the top of the page (see screenshot below so you'll know what it looks like).
Simply selecting one of your existing campaigns from this new drop-down menu will allow you to create a brand new campaign pre-configured with many of the advanced settings from your existing campaign.

On March 10, 2006, the AdWords system will be unavailable from approximately 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. PST due to system maintenance. While you won't be able to log in during this brief period, your campaigns will continue to run normally. We apologize for any inconvenience.
After spending a year learning the ins and outs of AdWords, even though I now work on Video, I often see things from the advertiser perspective. I always loved reading stories from advertisers who had used AdWords to help their businesses become more successful. The surprising thing about Video has been that we get the same type of letters. So here are some things that people have done on Video to help their businesses become successful.
For advertisers with video content, Google Video is a great way to expand your reach into an entirely new segment of the online community. If you have commercials or demos of your product that you'd like the world to see, you can upload your videos now (for free!). As with all things Google, you'll be able to monitor your stats, which are fully broken out for you within your Video account. That way, you can see the results and know exactly how many times a specific piece of content was watched. And, if you really want to improve coverage, you also have the option of embedding the streaming videos on your site, with no download required for your users -- you just copy the 'put on site' code.
If you're selling videos on your site, you can use streaming to provide users with a preview. Use the power of motion -- add an embedded live demo -- to sell a product that words and pictures can't describe. Or, share that funny branding video with the world by placing it in our index. The opportunities are out there; as always, let us know what your experiences are, so we can continue to make Google Video even more useful to you.

Imagine that you are trying to buy your dream home. Your credit history is impeccable, but your bank rejects your loan application because of your poor credit score. You begin to receive bills in the mail for credit cards you never applied for and bounced checks you never wrote. You have fallen victim to the fastest-growing crime in the United States according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)—identity theft.
Most people don't realize how widespread identity theft has become.
It is the number one concern for consumers contacting the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), accounting for 21 percent (278,078) of complaints received in 2009 (http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2010/02/2009fraud.shtm).
About 7.5 percent of adults in the United States lost money as a result of financial fraud in 2008, according to a study by Gartner, Inc. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10186176-83.html). Most of these losses were due to data breaches.
According to the FTC's 2009 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book (http://www.ftc.gov/sentinel/reports/sentinel-annual-reports/sentinel-cy2009.pdf), the top five states in terms of victims per capita are Florida, Arizona, Texas, California, and Nevada.

The Four Josiah Partridge's
One would think that proving four generations of Josiah Partridge's would be relatively simple. But this line of the Partridge family has remained difficult to track for over a century. It starts with Josiah Partridge, son of Nathaniel Partridge and Lydia Wright of Medfield, Massachusetts. Nathaniel was the eldest son of William Partridge and Sarah Colburn of Medfield, Massachusetts. Josiah was the 9th of 13 children born to his parents, and his descent is the easiest to prove of the four!
Listed at the bottom you will find a report of these four generations, but first, I thought I'd explain myself as to how they inner-connect, on the behest that somebody may think these are iron clad reasons (they're not). In order that we not be too confused, for sake of explanation I will use Josiah (1), Josiah (2), Josiah (3) and Josiah (4) to explain the connections. The numbers in parentheses are mine, and were not used when their names were recorded. They did use Jr. and Sr., but since there was four generations, the Jr. and Sr. only referenced those alive at the time.
Josiah (2) Partridge is reputedly the son of an illegitimate relationship between Josiah (1) Partridge and Keziah Mason. In fact, the birth record for Josiah (1) claims the following:
Josiah, "Reputed" s. Josiah Partridge and Kezia Mason, May 29, 1731. Medfield Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850.
For those not following the conversation, that means that Josiah (1) and Keziah were not married at the time of the birth. In fact, they never married. They both married other people. But Josiah (2), did carry the Partridge name for the rest of his life, and unless a direct male line of descendants is willing to take a DNA test, we'll never be able to prove that he isn't a blood connection – or that he is for that matter. Josiah (1) went on to marry Priscilla Rice in 1742, and removed to Brookfield, Massachusetts. Kezia married Joseph Baker in 1736 at Medfield, Massachusetts. It is likely that Josiah (2) was raised by Kezia and Joseph Baker at Sturbridge, which would explain Josiah's (2) later connection to that town.
Josiah (2) would marry twice, 1st to Sarah Martin, and then to Experience Morse. Josiah and Experience would have three children recorded in Sturbridge from 1773-1777. Soon after that they apparently removed to the Adams and Chester area of Massachusetts, as Josiah (2) can be found in the 1790 census in Adams, and he is listed as coming from Chester in a Cayuga County, New York deed of 1795. Josiah (2) is also recorded as having resided at Brutus, Onondaga, New York in 1796 and Jefferson, Cayuga, New York in 1803.
While residing in the Adams/Chester area of Massachusetts, Josiah and Experience would have at least one more child, this one also named Josiah (3) Partridge. There are no birth records surviving for this birth that I have found. The date I have recorded for Josiah (3) is born abt. 1779, but I show no source for that date. I know that Josiah (2) had a son Josiah (3) from the 1803 deed where Josiah (2), then of Jefferson, Cayuga, New York deeded to Josiah (3) of Jefferson, part of track 72 in Mentz, Cayuga, New York.
Josiah (3) married Puella Higley in 1804 at Mentz, Cayuga, New York. I have record of a child, Josiah (4) Partridge born to this marriage on 6 Dec 1802 in Mentz, Cayuga, New York… but the date of birth occurs well before the marriage. I have no sources recorded for either record, which indicates it came from Vera Partridge Hamilton's records. Josiah (3) and Puella would have at least one more child, Hiram Ward Partridge, born 19 Feb 1805.

Captain John Partridge of Navestock, England
Captain John Partridge was first indicated as a POSSIBLE father of the Medfield, Mass. Branch of the Partridge family by the NEGHS back in 1903, and privately printed in 1904 in the Partridge Genealogy, by George H. Partridge:
It may be well, however, for the benefit of those who desire to extend their researches to England, to call attention to the fact that in the Visitation of Essex (Harl. Soc. Pub., xiii., part 1, p. 465), which was made in the year 1634, the children of Captain John Partridge of Navestock, were John, aged about 14 years, William, Jane and Margarett. From information obtained from the vicar of the parish of Navestock, in 1899, by Mr. Frank Harvey Partridge, of New York, it appears that of the foregoing children, William was born in 1622, and Margarett in 1628.
There was then made a comparison of William's age as stated in his will made in 1692 as "about seventy years" (Suff. Co. Prob. Rec., vol xiii., p. 75), and the will of Margery Stacy, of Medfield, relict widow of Thomas Mason, made in 1695, as "about sixty and seven years." George then goes on to write that:
These coincidences, while they prove nothing, should, it seems to the writer, be given consideration in clearing up the mystery of the English origin of the Medfield Partridge's.
Page 465, The Visitation of Essex
The picture here is a copy of the specific page from the 1634 Essex Visitation. Click on the image to see it full sized.
Further fuel to the fire was the reported mention of Capt. John Partridge in the annals of Boston, MA.
At issue with this report are my own findings which indicate that neither William nor Margarett appear in St Thomas's Navistock Parish Records [FHL film # 1472587] for the years indicated.
1625 19 Apr bp William s/o John Partridge
1629 25 Jan bur William s/o Mr John Partridge
1630 8 Feb bp William s/o Mr John Partridge
So the 1634 visitation referenced initially as a possible source for proving the parentage of John and William Partridge, could not be the William Partridge of Medfield, MA, as he was likely born about 1622… the William in the visitation was only 4 and born in 1630.
Further evidence disputing the claim was accidentally discovered by Priscilla McElvein on a visit to St. Thomas, Navestock in 1993. A photograph was provided of the floor of St. Thomas Parish:
Grave Marker for John Partridge
On two markers:
1-John Partridge, gent, dyed 24 mar 1653 at age 34. [b 1619]
John Partridge [WI] son dyed 18 dec 1671 age 23. [b 1648]
2-John Partridge gent late of Drake's Hill in Navestock, son and heir to
John Partridge Citizen and Cutler of London, who dyed the 25th of Oct 1683
age 29. [b 1654]
The John Partridge mentioned in the visitation was aged about 14 years, or making him born about 1619-1620. The first John listed above was born in 1619 (15 Mar. 1618/1619 at Stepney, St. Dunstan, England) and died at Navestock in 1653.
The will of John Partridge of Navestock was written 1 Oct 1652 and probated 27 Jun 1663 [FHL ]. He mentions wife, Jane; son, John, and daughter, Margaret; and grandchildren Thomas and Jane Lake; son in law John Lake and cousin, John Comber.
I believe that the above information refutes any chance that the above mentioned visitation referenced our John, William and Margery Partridge of Medfield, MA. It further proves that John Partridge and Jane Hogge were not the parents of the Medfield branch of Partridges.

At First Baptist we want to equip men to be godly leaders at home, church, and in the community. We offer events periodically to help men become all that God desires. Additionally, men at First Baptist serve God through events such as our Men's Ministry Workday.
The First Baptist Family's Men's Ministry Workdays provide an opportunity for the men and boys of First Baptist to perform maintenance on our church buildings, and more importantly, to help members of our church and community meet needs around their homes.
Once a quarter, our men assemble on Saturday morning at 7:00 AM to share a biscuit, have a devotional, and assemble into teams for project assignments. Workdays normally average 50 men and boys accomplishing 25-30 projects ranging from constructing handicap ramps to replacing home roofs. Men's Ministry Workdays are enjoyed more by the helpers than those being helped – not just for the fun and fellowship of working alongside Christian brothers, but for the opportunity to use hands and health to show God's love to others.

Paul Labile Pogba (Lagny-sur-Marne, 15 maart 1993) is een Frans voetballer van Guineese afkomst die als centrale middenvelder voor Juventus speelt. In 2016 was hij middels een door Manchester United betaalde transfersom van circa €105.000.000,- op dat moment de duurste voetballer aller tijden. Pogba debuteerde in 2013 in het Frans voetbalelftal, waarmee hij in 2018 wereldkampioen werd.

Clubcarrière

Jeugd
Pogba werd als zoon van Guineese ouders geboren in het Franse Lagny-sur-Marne. Hij heeft twee oudere broers die ook actief werden in het betaald voetbal; de tweeling Mathias en Florentin. Pogba begon met voetballen bij US Roissy-en-Brie, dicht bij zijn geboortedorp. Na zeven seizoenen maakte hij de overstap naar US Torcy, waar hij aanvoerder was bij het elftal voor spelers onder 13 jaar. Na één seizoen verliet hij Torcy voor profclub AC Le Havre. In zijn tijd bij Le Havre werd Pogba Frans jeugdinternational. Door zijn nationale en internationale prestaties kwam hij in de belangstelling te staan van Arsenal FC en Juventus FC.

Manchester United
Op 31 juli 2009 maakte Pogba bekend dat hij Le Havre zou verlaten voor Manchester United. Hierdoor was Le Havre misnoegd, aangezien zij Pogba wilden houden aan zijn contract. Na tussenkomst van de FIFA kwamen beide clubs alsnog tot een akkoord, waardoor Pogba de overstap maakte naar Engeland. Op 19 februari 2011 werd hij samen met drie andere jeugdspelers door Sir Alex Ferguson bij de selectie gehaald voor het FA Cup-duel tegen Crawley Town. Op 20 september 2011 zat hij opnieuw bij de selectie, ditmaal voor het treffen in de League Cup tegen Leeds United. Hij mocht aan de rust invallen voor Ryan Giggs. Manchester United won met 3–0 van Leeds United na doelpunten van Michael Owen (tweemaal) en Giggs. Op 25 oktober 2011 kreeg Pogba opnieuw een invalbeurt in de bekercompetitie, ditmaal tegen Aldershot Town. Pogba verving na een uur spelen Tom Cleverley. United won met 3–0 na doelpunten van Dimitar Berbatov, Owen en Antonio Valencia.
Op 31 januari 2012 speelde Pogba zijn eerste wedstrijd in de Premier League op Old Trafford tegen Stoke City. Hij viel na 73 minuten in voor Javier Hernández. Manchester United won het duel met 2–0 na twee benutte strafschoppen, binnengeschoten door Hernández en Berbatov. Op 15 maart 2012 maakte Pogba zijn Europees debuut in de UEFA Europa League als invaller voor Michael Carrick in de uitwedstrijd tegen Athletic Bilbao. Hij kwam uiteindelijk tot zeven gespeelde wedstrijden in het eerste elftal van Manchester United, waarvan drie in de Premier League en drie in de League Cup. Het competitieduel op 18 maart 2012 tegen Wolverhampton Wanderers (0–5 winst) was zijn laatste optreden in Engeland.

Juventus

Op 23 juli 2012 bevestigde Alex Ferguson het vertrek van Pogba, nadat hij weigerde zijn contract te verlengen. Op 27 juni 2012 bevestigde Juventus op haar website dat Pogba een medische keuring onderging in Italië. Op 3 augustus 2012 zette hij zijn handtekening onder een vierjarig contract bij Juventus. Op 22 september 2012 maakte Pogba voor Juventus zijn debuut in de Serie A tegen Chievo Verona. De centrale middenvelder speelde de volledige wedstrijd, die gewonnen werd met 2–0 na twee doelpunten van Fabio Quagliarella. Op 20 oktober 2012 maakte hij zijn eerste doelpunt in het shirt van Juventus in de thuiswedstrijd tegen SSC Napoli. In de seizoenen 2012/13, 2013/14 en 2014/15 won Pogba met Juventus de landstitel. In december 2013 werd hij uitgeroepen tot Golden Boy, de prijs die wordt uitgereikt aan de beste jonge voetballer in Europa. Op 28 oktober 2014 werd Pogba samen met 22 andere spelers genomineerd voor de Ballon d'Or. Met 21 jaar was hij de jongste speler op de lijst. In 2014 won Pogba ook de Trofeo Bravo, de onderscheiding voor Europees voetballer van het jaar onder 21; hij volgde de Spanjaard Isco op, die in 2013 de prijs won. Na in maart en april 2015 enkele wedstrijden gemist te hebben door een hamstringblessure speelde Pogba op 20 mei de finale van de Coppa Italia 2014/15, die na verlenging met 2–1 van SS Lazio werd gewonnen.

Twee weken later verloor Pogba met Juventus de finale van de UEFA Champions League met 1–3 van FC Barcelona. In het seizoen 2014/15 speelde Pogba in alle competities tezamen 41 wedstrijden; daarin maakte hij tien doelpunten en leverde hij elf assists.

Manchester United
Pogba tekende in augustus 2016 een contract tot medio 2021 bij Manchester United. Dat betaalde circa €105.000.000,- voor hem aan Juventus. De Italiaanse club kreeg daarbij tot €5.000.000,- extra aan eventuele bonussen in het vooruitzicht. Daarmee was Pogba op dat moment de duurste voetballer aller tijden, ruim €4.000.000 duurder dan de vorige recordhouder Gareth Bale in 2013. Hij won in zijn eerste seizoen bij Manchester zowel de League Cup als de UEFA Europa League. Hij maakte het eerste doelpunt in de met 0–2 gewonnen finale van het laatstgenoemde toernooi, tegen Ajax.

In seizoen 2021/22 werd duidelijk dat Pogba zijn aflopende contract niet zou gaan verlengen. Daarbij meldde media dat er met name interesse was vanuit zijn oude club Juventus, het in zijn thuisland actieve Paris Saint-Germain en stadsrivaal Manchester City. In de zes jaar dat Pogba voor Manchester United uitkwam, kostte hij de club in totaal zo'n 257 miljoen euro. Het is de club in deze periode niet gelukt om de gestelde ambities waar te maken. Pogba zou namelijk onderdeel uit hebben moeten maken van het plan om terug te komen op het niveau wat onder coach Alex Ferguson werd behaald.

Juventus
In juli 2022 werd bekend dat Pogba transfervrij de overstap zou maken naar Juventus, de club waar hij Manchester United in 2012 ook al eens voor verruilde. Pogba tekende een contract tot aan de zomer van 2026.

Clubstatistieken

Interlandcarrière

In 2013 won Pogba met Frankrijk –20 het wereldkampioenschap voetbal onder 20 in Turkije. In de finale werd Uruguay verslagen na strafschoppen. Pogba werd uitgeroepen tot beste speler van het toernooi.

Op 22 maart 2013 maakte Pogba zijn debuut in het Frans voetbalelftal in een interland in het kwalificatietoernooi voor het wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2014 tegen Georgië. Hij speelde de volledige wedstrijd mee, die met 3–1 gewonnen werd na doelpunten van Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Valbuena en Franck Ribéry. Ook Raphaël Varane (Real Madrid) maakte zijn debuut voor Frankrijk in de wedstrijd tegen Georgië. Vier dagen later mocht Pogba opnieuw starten in het EK-kwalificatieduel tegen Spanje in het Stade de France. De Hongaarse scheidsrechter Viktor Kassai stuurde hem na 78 minuten speeltijd met twee gele kaarten van het veld. Twintig minuten eerder had de Spanjaard Pedro Rodríguez Ledesma het enige doelpunt van de wedstrijd gescoord. Op 10 september 2013 maakte Pogba zijn eerste interlanddoelpunt in een EK-kwalificatiewedstrijd tegen Wit-Rusland.

WK 2014
Op 6 juni 2014 werd bekend dat Pogba onderdeel zou uitmaken van de Franse selectie op het wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2014 in Brazilië. Op 15 juni 2014 startte hij in het basiselftal in de eerste groepswedstrijd tegen Honduras (0–3 winst). Aan het einde van de eerste helft beging Wilson Palacios een overtreding op Pogba, waarna hij een rode kaart kreeg (tweede gele kaart) en de Braziliaanse arbiter Sandro Ricci Frankrijk een strafschop toekende, die Karim Benzema benutte. In de 72ste minuut bepaalde Benzema op aangeven van Pogba de eindstand op 3–0. Hij speelde in alle vijf wedstrijden van Frankrijk op het toernooi. In de achtste finale tegen Nigeria (0–2 winst) maakte Pogba na 79 minuten het openingsdoelpunt, waarna Joseph Yobo met een eigen doelpunt in de tweede minuut van de blessuretijd beslissend was. De FIFA riep Pogba na afloop van het duel uit tot man van de wedstrijd. Hij speelde mee in de kwartfinale tegen latere kampioen Duitsland op 4 juli 2014, die met 0–1 werd verloren. Na afloop van het toernooi werd Pogba uitgeroepen tot beste jonge speler van het toernooi, met Memphis Depay (Nederland) en Raphaël Varane (Frankrijk) op de tweede en derde plaats.

EK 2016
Na het wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2014 speelde Pogba met het Frans elftal twee jaar vriendschappelijke interlands. Bondscoach Didier Deschamps nam hem op 12 mei 2016 op in de Franse selectie voor het EK 2016, in eigen land. Hierop bereikten zijn ploeggenoten en hij de finale, die ze met 0–1 verloren van Portugal.

In 2018 werd Pogba wereldkampioen met zijn land. Hij scoorde in de openingswedstrijd en in de finale.

Israel 2019: Kobi Marimi's song "Home" released
The last song for Eurovision 2019 has just been released: The Israeli entry "Home" performed by Kobi Marimi
By Sagi Klein 10 March 2019
Tags:IsraelTel Aviv 2019Kobi MarimiRelease
Last month Kobi Marimi won the Israeli national selection show "The Next Star", and now he has released his song Home for Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Kobi will compete on home soil with an emotional ballad that embraces his operatic voice in a subtle way.
The song Home was selected by Israeli broadcaster KAN out of 200 songs submitted to KAN's internal song selection committee.
Israel 2019: Kobi Marimi – "Home"
Home is written by singer-songwritter Inbar Wizman ("Lukah") and the singer-songwritter Ohad Shargai, best known as the musical tv show A Star is Born finalist (2010 season), before the Israeli show evolved to what we know today as The Next Star.
Related storyIsrael 2020: 4 songs will compete in song selection show
Kobi Marimi
Kobi Marimi, 27, born and raised in Ramat Gan, Israel, now he lives in Tel Aviv. Kobi has studied acting at the Nissan Nativ Studio in Tel Aviv, and played in the Israeli Opera in Tel Aviv. For his role in "Messiah Now" he won the Promising Actor Award at the 2017 Musical Celebrations.
Kobi began singing at the early age of 13. He started his journey in The Next Star with no professional music experience and gained public attention thanks to his unique style and operatic voice.
The judges of The Next Star described him as the "Israeli Freddie Mercury" because of his looks, uniqueness and the way he combines opera sounds when he sings. Like Netta, he suffered from low self-esteem, as a former overweight child.
Israel in Eurovision Song Contest
Israel 2018: Netta Barzilai - "Toy"

1978: Izhar Cohen and the Alphabeta - Abanibi
1979: Milk and Honey - Hallelujah
1998: Dana International - Diva
2018: Netta Barzilai - Toy
