text:
was Marion Dexter Learned's assessment of Pennsylvania Dutch. His surname suits his 1889 book which is far more academic than Rauch's. It opens with an ethnographic description of PD speakers followed by sections on phonology, inflection, syntax, and English mixture.
From a standard German viewpoint, PD seems simplified.
I have already mentioned its loss of front rounded vowels.
Noun inflection, already minimal in German, approaches the simplicity of English:
no endings in the singular except for the genitive
-s for the rare genitive singular (cf. English '-s)
-ə(r) or zero in the plural except for the diminutive -li whose plural is -len
Some plurals have umlaut though they have lost the vowel rounding still in standard German:
fuus 'foot' : fiis 'feet' (cf. std Ger Fuß : Füße)
mɒus 'mouse' : meis 'mice' (cf. std Ger Maus : Mäuse)
Note how the English cognates also have umlaut.
Apart from a written den (masc. acc. sg.), both indefinite and definite articles have identical nominative and accusative forms.
The unaccented indefinite article can be ə regardless of gender or case.
PD surprisingly still has a distinction between 'weak' and 'strong' adjective declensions. 'Weak' forms follow definite articles whereas 'strong' forms have no preceding articles:
Weak declension
singular |
plural |
masculine |
feminine |
neuter |
nominative |
-ə |
accusative |
-(ə) |
genitive/dative |
-ə |
Strong declension (no genitive endings are listed)
singular |
plural |
masculine |
feminine |
neuter |
nominative/accusative |
-ər |
-i(ə) |
-i(ə) |
dative |
-əm |
-ər |
-əm |
-ə |
There is also a mixed declension after indefinite articles. Learned's description implies the following endings:
singular |
plural |
masculine |
feminine |
neuter |
nominative/accusative (same as strong) |
-ər |
-i(ə) |
-i(ə) |
(genitive?)/dative (same as weak) |
-ə |
Pronouns still have distinct case forms: e.g.,
'thou' |
'he' |
nominative |
ich |
duu |
aer/ər |
genitive |
meĩ |
deĩ |
seĩ |
accusative |
miir/mər |
diir/dər |
iim/m |
dative |
mich |
dich |
iin/n |
Verbs still have more person and number marking than English:
'to be' | singular | plural |
1st person | bin | sin |
2nd person | bischt | sin/seid |
3rd person | is/isch/ischt | sin |
'to have' |
singular |
plural |
1st person |
hɒb |
hen |
2nd person |
həscht |
hen/hent |
3rd person |
hət |
hen |
The syntax section focuses on the usage of inflected forms and says nothing about word order.
Next: English mixture in PD.
Guutbei for now!
wrote Edward H. Rauch on p. vi of Rauch's Pennsylvania deitsh hond-booch (Rauch's Pennsylvania Dutch Hand-Book (sic), 1879). Orrick is Pennsylvania Dutch for 'many'. Rauch continues:
De Deitsh rule doots net so goot.
Doots corresponds to standard German tut 'does'.
Here's an excerpt from Rauch's English introduction:
The German rule [i.e., a German-based spelling for Pennsylvania Dutch] would not be practical, because from eighteen to twenty percent of all the words commonly used in Pennsylvania Dutch are either English or a compound of English and German, and also because all the youth of our State is taught to read English, and comparatively but few receive any sort of German education. The English rule is therefore decidedly the best for this purpose. Anyone who can read English can also read Pennsylvania Dutch as I have it recorded, and give it, in nineteen out of twenty cases, the correct pronunciation ...
To read it, no study of orthography is at all necessary, because it is simply English. The ch is the only German sound, pronounced as gh in Dougherty or Gallagher.
The only American English pronunciations of those names I've ever heard are
[dowhr̩ti] (gh = [h])
[dakr̩ti] (gh = [k])*
[gæləgr̩] (gh = [g]).
Were they both pronounced with an [x] (i.e., like German ch) or, more likely, with an [h] in 19th century Pennsylvania?
Rauch's English-based spelling for Pennsylvania Dutch reminds me of the English-based orthography for Manx which looks very strange to me since it's unlike the orthographies of its close relatives Irish and Scottish Gaelic.
*The substitution of [k] for Irish [x] in Dougherty < Irish Ó Dochartaigh reminds me of the substitution of Old Japanese k for Middle Chinese *x:
'Chinese': 漢 MC *xan (> Mandarin Han) but Old and Modern Japanese Kanas in Modern Japanese 漢字 kanji 'Chinese characters'
Old Japanese had no h, so k was the closest available substitute at the time.
Modern Japanese h is from Old Japanese p.
When I visited Pennsylvania Dutch country in 2000*, I was disappointed because I couldn't find anything on the language for sale - not even a pamphlet for tourists.In 2004, I met Dutchy Digest co-creator Bruce Rosenberger online. Today's his birthday, and I wanted to tell him 'happy birthday' in Pennsylvania Dutch, but a Google search turned up nothing. However, I did find this free book on the language from 1872. The title is taken from p. 36 which contrasts
des buch iss mei
'this book is mine'
's buch iss mei
'the book is mine'
('s is short for des 'the/this')
Being a Germanic language, PD is already relatively close to English and is becoming even more like American English: e.g., the PD vowels ü and ö have been replaced by their closest English equivalents. But not all changes in PD are due to American English influence: e.g, kl- > gl- has no American English parallel, so clue has not become glue.
*By coincidence, I moved to Holland a few weeks later. Needless to say, Dutch proper is not Pennsylvania Dutch which is actually a variety of German.
Thanks to Andrew West for pointing out that there are even more new hangul characters in the Hangul Jamo (字母 자모 'letter') section on pp. 113-116 of this Unicode 5.2 PDF. Here's the table I posted last night with the new initial characters added in bold:
kt- | ||||||||||||||
ns- | nc- | nh- | ||||||||||||
tr- |
tm- |
tp- |
ts- |

pkh- |
p-h- (not ph-!) |
ssp- |
ngr- |
ngh- |
cch- |
thth- |
phh- |
hs- |
ʔʔ- |
The final characters I missed were for
-kn, -kp, -kc, -kkh, -k-h (not -kh!), -nn
I was wondering why there were no characters for new kC- and nC-clusters. They do exist - just not in Extensions A and B where I was expecting them.
I asked,I gave three examples of ㅳ -pt which are examples of English in Korean transcriptions from 1935:If none of these characters were normally used to write Korean, what were they intended to represent?
Can you guess why ㅳ -pt might have been created?
ak-sept-e-tɯ [akseptedɯ] 'accepted'
(t is [d] between vowels.)
ak-sept-ing [akseptiŋ] 'accepting'
ak-sept-ə [akseptə] 'accepter'
In modern Korean, accept is written as 악셉트 ak-sep-thɯ without a final cluster ㅳ -pt. English -pt is broken up among two letter clusters:
English -p- > Korean ㅂ -p in 셉 sep
English -t > Korean 트 thɯ
I suspect that clusters like final ㅳ -pt were devised for phonetic notation of
- foreign clusters like English -pt
- native clusters when breaking up words in nonstandard ways: e.g.,
initial -ㄽ -ls- in
-ㄽㅡ록, -lsɯ-rok, normally split up as -ㄹ 수록 -l su-rok 'the more ...' in modern spelling
(I have transliterated ㄹ as l according to modern pronunciation since this example is from p. 48 of 이규영 [李奎榮] Yi Kyu-yəng's 현금 조선문전 Hyən'gɯm Chosən munjən [現今朝鮮文典 Modern Korean Grammar, 1920].)
(Note that initiai ㅳ pt- did exist in 15th century Korean: e.g, ᄠᆡ ptʌy 'dirt', now 때 ttae.)
Since these clusters were presumably devised ad hoc, it's possible that more clusters will turn up when more old linguistic texts are found. For example, a pre-World War II Korean transcription of Russian здравствуйте zdravstvujte might be
ㅈㄷㄹㅏㅂ ㅅㄷㅂㅟ테
with ctr- and stp-, initial clusters that have no characters in Unicode 5.2.
(The Korean letter ㅿ z would be long extinct at this point, so c would be the closest substitute for foreign z and still is: e.g., 지로 ciro 'zero'. The Korean letter ㅹ v would also be extinct. I have only seen ㅹ v in early hangul spellings of Chinese.)
Thanks to Andrew West for bringing this document to my attention. I think I vaguely recall hearing about new hangul characters being added to the next version of Unicode, but I never got around to looking for them. You can see the new additions on pages 376 and 431-432 of this PDF draft of the Unicode 5.2 code charts. Among them are many obsolete hangul characters for clusters such as
tm- | tp- | ts- | tc- | |||||||||||
rk- | rkk- | rt- | rm- | rp- | rpp- | rβ- | rs- | rc- | rkh- | |||||
mk- | mt- | ms- | ||||||||||||
psth- | pkh- | p-h- (not ph-!) | ||||||||||||
ssp- | ||||||||||||||
ngr- | ngh- | |||||||||||||
cch- | ||||||||||||||
thth- | ||||||||||||||
phh- | ||||||||||||||
hs- | ||||||||||||||
ʔʔ- |
which are absent from my list of 15th century Korean initial clusters. (Note that I use c instead of ts or ch to represent ㅈ.)
(The above table is incomplete. Click here for a complete version.)
There are similarly odd 'new' old characters for final consonant clusters: e.g.,
-nr, -nch
-ttp, -tth
-rkk, -rrkh, -rmh, -rng, -rpph, -rʔh
-mn, -mnn, -mm, -mps, -mc
-pt, -prph, -pm, -pst, -pc, -pch
-sm, -sβ, -ssk, -sst, -sz, -sc, -sch, -sth
-zp, -zβ
-ngm, -ngh
-cp, -cpp, -cc
-phs, -phth
If none of these characters were normally used to write Korean, what were they intended to represent? Here are examples of three words written with syllable-final ㅳ -pt* from p. 283 of 박승빈 (朴勝彬) Pak Sɯng-bin's 조선어학 Chosən əhak (朝鮮語學 Korean Linguistics, 1935):
Syllable 1 | Syllable 2 | Syllable 3 | Syllable 4 | |
Word 1 | 악 | 세ㅳ | 에 | 드 |
ak | sept | e | tɯ | |
Word 2 | 악 | 세ㅳ | 잉 | |
ak | sept | ing | ||
Word 3 | 악 | 세ㅳ | 어 | |
ak | sept | ə |
(Note that ㅇ represents a zero initial consonant in vowel-initial syllables: e.g., ak is spelled 악 Ø-a-k.)
Can you guess why ㅳ -pt might have been created?
*The PDF is nearly illegible, so this is my best guess. I don't have a Unicode 5.2 font yet and my font doesn't allow me to place ㅳ -pt beneath 세 se.
9.22.0:46: Why were the 'new' old Korean initial characters (Hangul Jamo Extended-A) placed on p. 376 between the Southeast Asian Rejang and Javanese characters in the Unicode 5.2 draft? Why not place them before the 'new' old Korean vowel and concharacters (Hangul Jamo Extended-B) on pp. 431-432 after the Hangul Syllables characters?
In my last post, I mentioned how Korean aspirates orignated from clusters which in turn originated from consonant-vowel-consonant sequences: e.g.,
hVk > hk > kh
The evidence for that shift is straightforward. But how do we know that k-clusters as well as h-clusters became later Korean aspirates?
15th century Korean (15K), the first stage of the language written in the hangul alphabet, had the following initial clusters and aspirates:
Aspirates and geminate hh | ph- | th- | tsh- | kh- | hh- | |
s-clusters and geminate ss | sp- | st- | ss- | sk- | ||
p-clusters | pt-, pth- | ps- | pts- | |||
ps-clusters | pst- | psk- |
Notice that only two of the clusters (in bold) contain k.
One might initially conclude that those two clusters came from earlier Korean sequences
which later collapsed into the clusters sk- and psk- and that earlier Korean had no sequences like
But why would pre-15K forbid *k if it were not preceded by *s? Such a constraint has no parallel in known languages and would be arbitrary.
It is more likely that pre-15K did have instances of *k that were not preceded by *s. But why doesn't 15K have more k-clusters like pk- or kt- from earlier *pVk- or *kVt-? Perhaps *k became aspiration in 15K unless preceded by *s:
Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4 | Stage 5: 15K |
*pVk- | *pk- | *px- | *px- | ph- |
*kVp- | *kp- | *xp- | ||
*tVk- | *tk- | *tx- | *tx- | th- |
*kVt- | *kt- | *xt- | ||
*pVtVk- | *ptk- | *ptx- | *ptx- | pth- |
*pVkVt- | *pkt- | *pxt- | ||
*(pV)sVk- | *(p)sk- | (p)sk- | ||
*(pV)kVs- | *(p)ks- | |||
*t(V)sVk- | *tsk- | *tsx- | *tsx- | tsh- |
*kVt(V)s- | *kts- | *xts- | ||
*kVk- | *kk- | *xk- or *kx- | *kx- | kh- |
Using the above table, we might expect 15K phi 'blood' to be from either *pVki or *kVpi.
If Korean phi has any cognates among the 'Altaic' languages which are Korean's most likely relatives, those cognates should either resemble *pVki or *kVpi. A proposed cognate that looks like phi is 'too good to be true' since no other Altaic language has undergone Korean-like consonant shifts as far as I know. Here are the words for 'blood' in other Altaic languages:
Turkish kanClassical Mongolian chisun
Manchu senggi
Japanese chi < Old Japanese ti < *tVi
Obviously, none of these words are related to 15K phi < *pVki or *kVpi, and none are related to each other.
(The resemblance of Japanese chi to Classical Mongolian chisun is coincidental, as J chi is ultimately from *tVi which doesn't look like Mongolian chisun at all. And even if one were to claim that M chisun were from *tVisun, one would have to explain why M has -sun and Japanese doesn't.)
This comparison is not definitive counterevidence against relating Korean to any of these languages, but it means that if their common ancestor shared a word for 'blood', most of them no longer preserve it with the same meaning.
Next: What other 15K clusters would you expect, and why are they missing?
9.21.0:49: Here's an example of how reconstructing the origin of Korean aspirates might point toward a relationship with a foreign word.
Korean for 'burn' is 타- tha-, which vaguely looks like Japanese 炊く tak-u 'burn'. Dropping the ending -u from the Japanese form results in a stem tak- which could be from an earlier *taka-. If I didn't know that Korean th- could be from tVk-, I might regard
K tha- : J *tak(a)-
as a coincidence since there's no reason for Korean to lack a -k. Lots of Korean words have -k: e.g., ttak 'exactly'. However, one of the two possible early Korean sources of tha- does resemble the early Japanese root:
One could even guess that the first vowel of the early Korean root was *a on the basis of Japanese:K *tVka- : J *tak(a)-
K ?*taka- : J *tak(a)-
Does this one comparison mean that Korean and Japanese are related? Not necessarily.
First, it is possible that Korean tha- is really from early Korean *kVta- and has nothing to do with Japanese *tak(a)-. Having the same consonants in different orders and one possible shared vowel is not enough to link the two words.
Second, it is possible that the first vowel of early Korean *tVka- was not *a and doesn't match the first *a of Japanese *tak(a)-.
Third, it is possible that Japanese borrowed *tak(a)- from some early Korean peninsular language like 百濟 Paekche a.k.a. Baekje or Kudara (now extinct). I think this is the most likely scenario.
Whenever two words with similar or identical meanings in different languages look alike, consider the possibilities:
1. They may look alike now, but they may have been totally different in the past.
2. They may always have looked alike, but their resemblance is sheer coincidence.
3. One language may have borrowed the word from the other.
4. The two words really were inherited from a common ancestor.
Before jumping to conclusion 4, I prefer to consider the first three possibilities.

Stocks fell on Wednesday after Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank likely wouldn't be ready to cut rates in March.
The Dow Jones Industrials dropped sharply, 317.01 points to 38,150.30.
The S&P 500 index stumbled 79.32 points, or 1.6%, to 4,845.65.
The NASDAQ index tumbled 345.88 points, or 2.2%, to 15,164.01.
Traders were closely watching the Fed announcement for signs of when the central bank would begin to cut rates. Powell seemingly threw cold water on the markets expectation for a March cut, noting further encouraging data on inflation was needed.
Still, the central bank did do something traders wanted, which is remove the part of the statement that signaled the central bank still had a tightening bias. The Fed removed a phrase that referred to "additional policy firming."
Alphabet dropped more than 6% and was on pace for its worst day since Oct. 25 as disappointing ad revenue overshadowed better than expected earnings and sales. Stock in peer tech firms Microsoft and AMD slipped 2% each on lower-than-expected forward guidance after posting quarterly results.
Shares of Boeing climbed nearly 6% following quarterly results that beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom line. The company has been plagued by recent issues tied to its 737 Max 9 which has pushed Boeing to focus on safety moving forward, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said.

Within Five Years, Almost All Depended On FAAC
Between 2016 and 2020, the 36 states in Nigeria earned N5.30 trillion. The states also got N10.19 trillion from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee and borrowed N1.84 trillion from domestic sources.
These figures are according to data from National Bureau of Statistics through analyses of IGR and FAAC data from the and domestic loans data from the Debt Management Office.
This implies that almost all revenues accruing to the states came from the FAAC allocations within the time under review.
The states got N1.33 trillion as FAAC allocation in 2016. In 2017, the figure increased to N1.74 trillion; in 2018, to N2.49 trillion, and fell to N2.40 trillion in 2019. By 2020, the figure slipped to N2.23 trillion.
The states' IGR was N817.19 billion in 2016. It grew to N936.47 billion in 2017. It increased further to N1.10 trillion in 2018. In 2019, it increased slightly to N1.23 trillion, and fell marginally to N1.21 trillion in 2020.
Breakdown Analysis
According to the data, only Lagos and Ogun state generate higher IGRs than their FAAC allocations within the five year period.
Lagos generated N1.84 trillion as IGR, and got N523.63 billion from FAAC. Ogun State, on the other hand, got N162.47 billion as FAAC allocation and generated N354.04 billion from IGR.
States like Delta, Yobe, Gombe, Ebonyi, Borno, Katsina, and Kebbi depend largely on FAAC allocations based on available data.
In the period under review, Delta State got the most allocation from FAAC (N804.27bn), and Osun State got the least (N95.05bn). Lagos's IGR was the highest (N1.84tn), while Yobe's IGR was the lowest (N27.45bn).

If Shah Rukh Khan is the baadshah of Bollywood, then actor Manoj Tiwari is the king of the Bhojpuri films. So when the two kings crossed path with each other, sparks flew and how! Shah Rukh Khan is busy with the promotions of his upcoming film 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' and recently visited Varanasi with the movie's leading lady Anushka Sharma and Director Imtiyaz Ali. While, we have often seen SRK dance on the tunes of Bollywood songs and hum them as well, watching him sing a Bhojpuri number was definitely a shocking surprise for all of us. As expected, the crowd burst into cheers and hoots as he went on his knees and started singing 'Lollypop Lagelu' for Anushka Sharma. Check out the video, where Manoj Tiwari teaches SRK the lyrics of the song.
Stop everything and watch Harry singing for Sejal in 'Bhojpuri'. P.S. All thanks to Manoj Tiwari @iamsrk @AnushkaSharma #JHMSInVaranasi
Honestly, we were having a lot of fun watching the king of romance sing one of the sleaziest songs ever made, and sheepishly singing them in our minds as well. But, the actor's excitement was at the pinnacle and he didn't really want to stop at singing (or attempting to sing) just one song. So he went ahead and grooved on some other Bhojpuri hits along with Tiwari who was singing the songs.
#srk Dance in bhojpuri song 😂 @iamsrk ��� #shahrukh #khan #srkian #srk #badshah #fan #srk #king #dance #shahrukhkhaninvns #shahrukhkhan #anushka #sharma #imtiaz #ali
If you loved the song 'Jabra Fan' from SRK's movie 'Fan', then we are sure you will love this Bhojpuri version too and the fact that he was dancing on this song was like a cherry on the cake.
Shah today ���🕺 @iamsrk @anushkasharma @imtiazaliofficial #bollywood #srk #shahrukhkhan #kingkhan #kingofbollywood #ملك_بوليوود #بوليوود #شاروخان #AnushaSharma #anushkasharma #انوشكا_شارما #SRKian jabrafan #jabharrymetsejal . Follow me @srkofficialx
The movie 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' is all set to hit the theatres on August 4.

Like most health professionals, de Werd's enterprise suffered because of COVID-19. But like different companies with a web based element, clients' newfound want to fill their wants on the net meant Warrior Gym's income didn't take as massive of a success as lots of the bigger health facilities.
RELATED STORY: The Digital Gym
Online lessons and extra personalised health instruction have helped small studios compete extra successfully for a much bigger pool of shoppers. This means fostering a way of neighborhood — and giving clients a purpose to remain — has by no means been extra vital.
In addition to her health enterprise, de Werd performed on-line health teacher certification assessments as a facet job. The expertise made transitioning her enterprise to totally on-line a smoother course of. It additionally meant sustaining a stronger social media presence, familiarizing herself with graphic advertising and videography.
"When I began I used to be doing the whole lot myself, recording movies on my cellphone and on the fitness center, however as we grew little by little I used to be in a position to rent an online designer and make it look skilled," she says.
According to a report by Axios Media, fitness center cancellation charges are greater now than in the beginning of the pandemic, doubtless because of Americans' altering exercise habits, which incorporates much more on-line engagement. In May, employment inside the {industry} had recovered 60% of its preliminary job losses, however remained 27% beneath pre-pandemic ranges.
According to a report from on-line athletic tools reviewing web site RunRepeat, the quantity of people that mentioned at-home health was their most well-liked methodology of train elevated 218.3% within the United States in 2021. By distinction, fitness center income was down 58% in 2020, based on a report by the Global Health and Fitness Association.
According to Oregon state economist Josh Lehner, the pandemic's influence on the health {industry} has not absolutely performed out.

"It actually was on the underside of my to-do checklist. But the pandemic lit a fireplace beneath my ass. We shut down Friday and reopened Wednesday with a brand new schedule. We had been actually fast to adapt and we didn't see as massive of a income drop as a few of the different locations," says Duke.
Duke's enterprise needed to turn out to be versatile to accommodate members' wants.

With a lot competitors from throughout the nation and even overseas, sustaining a welcoming environment and private relationships with a core group of shoppers remains to be the important thing element to any small health studio's success.
"It feels actually cool when everyone seems to be within the studio, however the on-line mannequin is a good system that works for lots of people," says Duke.

Klay Thompson is back with the Golden State Warriors and everything seems a bit brighter in the world of basketball.
Many people were eagerly awaiting the return of Thompson, who sat out a whopping 941 days because of ACL and Achilles injuries.
He returned to the floor Sunday night, re-entering a team and league that had drastically changed in his years away.
He was playing with a squad that hardly resembled the one he left and was contending against guys who weren't even in the NBA when Thompson last competed.
Yet, Thompson didn't miss a beat: when the game was done, the guard has racked up 17 points in 20 minutes and helped the Warriors take down the Cleveland Cavaliers to a raucous home crowd.
Is Thompson as good as he once was?
He Can Still Shoot
Not that this surprises anyone but Thompson can still shoot the basketball like the best of them.
He wasn't afraid of firing off shots (he had 18 field goal attempts) and he landed a respectable number of them (seven).
His three-point percentage was 37.5 (three-of-eight) which is a tick down from his career average of 45.9 percent, but he sank some difficult shots on Sunday night so that's an impressive number.
Perhaps more surprisingly, Thompson seemed able – and eager – to be physical.
He Attacks The Rim
The best moment of Thompson's return had to be his speedy little dunk in the second quarter of the game, which got the crowd on their feet.
OH MY KLAY pic.twitter.com/MSBIYqSrGr
— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) January 10, 2022
It didn't look like someone who hadn't played professional basketball in over two years.
From the speed to the aggression to the mean mug he gave at the end, Thompson was in fine form on the possession.
But that wasn't the only time he showed his basketball prowess hasn't waned.
Later in the game, Thompson proved that he is incredibly difficult to block.
Unless you stay literally right on top of him, Thompson will find a way to score – either through a deep two-or-three or a drive into the paint.
Here's Klay Thompson's hot start to the third quarter

-Created separation with right foot (same as Achilles tear) for jumper over Markkanen in iso setting
-Vintage transition 3 pic.twitter.com/zcxjIrDQie— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) January 10, 2022
He has multiple ways to score and multiple ways to keep defenders on their toes.
This is such a huge benefit to having Thompson back.
Once again, the Warriors have another scorer who is dangerous from just about anywhere.
In just 20 minutes on the court, Thompson reminded us all why he's such an important NBA player.
What's Next?
The question remains: Was Thompson as good on Sunday night as he was in the past?
An answer to that is complicated of course but the numbers say he pretty much was.
His career average for the regular season is 19.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and .5 blocks a game.
With a total of 17 points, three rebounds, and one block, he's approaching those numbers.
Keep in mind, he only played for 20 minutes Sunday night and he typically averages 33 minutes a game.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the more time Thompson gets, the more points he will create.
Sunday night's game was filled with great news for the Warriors: Stephen Curry was shooting as he used to and Thompson was playing just as well as people had hoped.
Thompson sent a message to the Western Conference and the rest of the NBA: look out.

A Monroe County jury on Thursday convicted a man in the locker-room attempted sex assault of an intoxicated woman that occurred while celebrating his own wedding.
Daniel J. Carney, 31, of Stroudsburg, was found guilty of felony attempted sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault without consent, plus misdemeanor simple assault and indecent assault without consent, according to the Monroe County District Attorney's Office and court records.
It occurred Aug. 30, 2019, at Shawnee Inn in Smithfield Township, following a wedding party rafting trip on the Delaware River.
Video from the inn showed Carney pull the woman — "extremely unsteady on her feet and swaying" — into the men's locker room where the assault occurred, prosecutors and investigators said. The victim reported blacking out during the incident due to having drunk alcoholic beverages beforehand, according to court records. Carney's fiancee entered the locker room during the assault, screaming at him, court records say. The couple were married two days later.
"Following this encounter, on the morning of his wedding on September 1, 2019, Carney sent her a text message apologizing, acknowledging his conduct and requesting that she take a Plan B contraception," the prosecutor's office said in a news release Friday on the conviction. "Later that day, the victim went to the hospital for a medical evaluation of the sexual assault in which numerous bruises throughout her body were documented. The Pennsylvania State Police were called to respond to the hospital."
Carney had been free on unsecured bail and was released Friday after posting $75,000 straight bail as he awaits sentencing scheduled July 26 before Judge Stephen M. Higgins. The court ordered a pre-sentence investigation and sexually violent predator assessment, prosecutors said.
Carney could face up to 10 years in prison on each felony, according to the district attorney's office, which plans to seek a "significant sentence of incarceration in state prison."
Carney's defense attorney could not be reached for comment Saturday.

Klíčová slova | nanoparticles |
Popis | Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been vastly used commercially, especially as white pigment in paints, colorants, plastics, coatings, cosmetics. There are three common exposure routes for TiO2: (i) inhalation exposure, (ii) exposure via gastrointestinal tract, (iii) dermal exposure. Inhalation and gastrointestinal exposure appear to be the most probable ways of exposure, although nanoparticle (NP) penetration is limited. However, the penetration rate may increase substantially when the tissue is impaired. When TiO2 NPs migrate into the circulatory system, they can be distributed into all tissues including brain. In brain, TiO2 lead to oxidative stress mediated by the microglia phagocytic cells which respond to TiO2 NPs by the production and release of superoxide radicals that convert to multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ROS production may also cause the damage of blood-brain barrier which then becomes more permeable for NPs. Moreover, several studies have showed neuron degradation and the impairment of spatial recognition memory and learning abilities in laboratory rodent exposed to TiO2 NPs. |

The opposition primaries.-Súmate makes a proposal!
In an unprecedented show of democratic openness, Súmate is proposing to organize the primaries to find the candidate that will represent the opposition in the forthcoming Presidential elections.
Note that Súmate is proposing the destruction of the log material to avoid any type of blacklisting like what happened with the signers of the Revocatory Referendum.
Súmate is also asking for volunteers for the organization. If you are interested, here are the telephone number and the email:

Willian Lara and Súmate's "Aquelarre"
Everytime I see the MINCI home page without any picture of Chávez, I get nervous. I cannot help but wonder what the heavy government weights must be concocting when Yo El Supremo is not in their front page. The explanation might be very simple, the President might be resting for a few days, but, noneless, I always wonder what is going on, in particular when neither the Vice President nor Nicolas Maduro appear in their pages.
- m. Junta o reunión nocturna de brujos y brujas, con la supuesta intervención del demonio ordinariamente en figura de macho cabrío, para la práctica de las artes de esta superstición.
In fact, this ghost blogger strongly objects the candidacy of those CNE officials as well, but not because of the mild reasons provided by Súmate, but because of their potential responsibility in handing to the government the personal data of millions of Venezuelans that led to the Tascón list, the Maisanta database and the Batalla de Santa Inés software that has created a political apartheid in Venezuela.

No Alo Presidente today. Happy Easter to you all!
I just read that VTV has announced that there will be no Alo Presidente this Sunday.
I guess that Chavez decided to finally give a break to the Venezuelan people and to the families of the Ministers and other Goverment officials that have to endure the six hour Alo Presidente marathons every Sunday.
So Happy Easter to you all!
And careful with the chocolates.

The case of Jorge Aguirre.-Another bizarre case of killing by Police
Last week, I reported that El Mundo photographer Jorge Aguirre had been killed while going to cover the protests against the kidnapping and killing of the Faddoul brothers. Someone that looked like a policeman shot him from a motorcycle and Aguirre was able to take a picture of him. It seems that, from the picture, the CICPC was able to find out that the killer was a former Chacao Policeman.
Today, I saw the MINCI front page proudly stating that the alleged killer, Boris Blanco, used to work for PoliChacao. The mayor of Chacao has declared that, indeed, he was with his police forces but he was fired in 2005 due to misconduct.
that says that he had lend his bike to Blanco because he wanted to sell it.

The Blanco-Bandes and the Faddoul kidnappings
After I published the last post where El Universal mentioned the video sent to the family of the Faddoul brothers, some of the readers were asking me about the three girls that were kidnapped in the
Don't forget either that the Faddoul video was produced on March 9 and handed to the family on March 12.
So here are the new corrected event dates (according to what I could extract from the newspaper articles):
March 3, the Blanco girls are kidnapped
March 9, the Faddoul video is produced
March 10, the Blanco girls are released
March 12, the Faddoul family received the video
March 10-15 the Tuy area is searched for Alirio Contreras
March 15 Alirio Contreras is arrested in Petare
April 4 The Faddouls are found dead
April 7 The case is almost solved.
Bad luck? Incompentence? Or convenient overlook by someone around the whereabouts of the Faddoul brothers?

Mission spin follows Mission incompetence
Just two days ago, I was writing about the absence of President Chavez in moments of national commotion. I was amazed at the absence of news about the killings in any of the official channels. I was surprised that none of the Chavista heavy weights were out except the Justice Minister and the Attorney General. The MINCI pages were for the first time in probably a year, unadorned by ANY photo of Chavez (usually he is in ALL the pictures) and the ABN, VTV and RNV were all very languid in their choice of topics.
The best that the Chavistas on call could come up with during the few days that people went to the street in signs of protest, was to shame the media for politicizing a sad event and mention here and there that Colombians may be in the plot.
It follows that the MINCI publishes in its first page the mother's declaration so that EVERYBODY can conveniently read it in the most politicized site that there is on the Venezuelan Internet . The article appears on the first page just below a huge face of a very calm and serious President Chavez occupying half page and announcing, like a true statesman that they will not rest until all the guilty are found. On the right, another article with the Italian flag, that has not yet been changed by Berlusconi, where the Italian government thanks effusively the Venezuelan government for having been so efficient in the resolution of the Sindoni crime. Such a nice, very nice piece of foreign gratitude was published alongside other news that recall that
Meanwhile, three suspects, all Venezuelans (didn't they tell us they had a Colombian accent?) are found. So quickly, in such an efficient and dynamic manner that we all are I in awe at how quickly the Venezuelan government is able to solve the case.
Then, I check VTV, Maduro is there again, in charge, just finishing a technical workshop on, how convenient, Crime and Violence. He was pretty busy because a few days ago he was still in
I decide to see RNV. Here he is. A triumphant Isaias Rodríguez saying the names of the five suspects in the Faddoul case and announcing that they are also about to solve the case of the killed photographer.
This ghost blogger keeps reading and is amazed at how efficient this government really is. How fortunate we Venezuelan are of having elected this group of dynamic and competent people that can deal with the most difficult situations.
After finishing my official carrousel, I go to El Universal and find a tiny note among tthose that are not considered important news. It says that on March 12, the Faddoul family had received a CD showing that their sons were alive. The video shows an airport that looks like the one in the
The girls were kidnapped on February 22.
The kids were kidnapped on February 23.
The kids were found dead on April 4.
The case is almost solved on April 7.
And this ghost blogger asks. Is it really possible that they were so efficient at the end and so incompetent when it was really needed?
If the kidnapping had lasted a few days, I would understand such an outcome: lack of time to find the people involved. But 40 days? In 40 days they either had the clue or they did not.

Chavez reappears and so does a new conspiracy theory
So Chavez reappered tonight on the MINCI pages..just when I had almost finished a post showing that for the first time in many months he WAS NOT in the MINCI pages! Well that's the ghost blogger life. Some people get to swim among Polynesian sharks and others have to rewrite their posts!

Where is Chavez?
In February 2005, during the second state of emergency due to floods in the State of
This seems to be a pattern: every time the country needs the figure of a strong figure to show that they are in control, to help the collective moral of the Venezuelan people, Chavez disappears.
In this moments in which the whole
This is the guy that uses 6 hours every Sunday of TV time to say anything that comes to his mind. This is the guy that every other day asks for a "cadena" to make silly announcements or to use the attention of the world to insult his political foes. This is the guy that wants to be president for life.
At first, I thought that I had probably overlooked a Chavez declaration about the case. I searched my usual governmental sources and could not find anything about Chavez.
Finally, I found this note in El Universal this morning. It says that the executive repudiated the assassination of the Faddoul brothers and of Miguel Rivas…it was the Minister of labor, Ricardo Dorado, that declared to the press! Did you guys know that
Where are the heavy weights of the government in this moments of profound sadness and collective crisis?
Where are the Rangels and the Maduros that are always so quick in declaring when it is time to insult political dissidents?
But first and foremost, where is the President ?
Where is Chavez?

Another death, protests, and too many Police stories
When Jorge Aguirre took his camera this morning to cover for the spontaneous protests that were taken place in
Meanwhile, Isaias Rodríguez said that they had a lot of leads and that there is no connection whatsoever between the Sindoni case and the Faddoul case. He criticized the sectors that are protesting to politicize the case (see the MINCI news here). In other words, protest in solidarity but do not protest if you find that the personal security problem in
The chief of the technical police that was in charge of dealing with the kidnappers said that the investigation was not a failure but what happened was a "desperation" from the kidnappers…
Rodriguez also said that the government had been in touch with the kidnappers and from the accent they sounded Colombians. This was repeated later by Minister Chacon.This of course, is always convenient: blame the Colombians. I am not saying that the assassins are not Colombians, they might very well be, but I find it very particular that this would be the first tip that government officials would give on this investigation.You see, Venezuelan people have traditionally blamed the Colombians for all their security problems. I do not know if that is true or not, but it is accepted as a fact by many Venezuelans. So this is an easy way for any government to get rid of its responsibility: find a likely scapegoat and put the blame on him. The poverty, the corruption, the state of the judicial and jail system, the drug dealing and the money laundering, the government ineptitude and the state of hate that Chavez has fostered over the years…nothing is the fault of the government. Just find the appropriate Colombian and people will forget about the fact that they are living in a state of siege led by an incompetent government.
Barreto's add says that with the People's organization, personal security advances. It says that in
Today, Barreto, like Rodriguez, also asked not to use the pain and the death as a political flag (but wasn't him the one that ordered the add in today's El Nacional?). He also announced the Militarization of the current Metropolitan Police by creating the "Mayor State of Citizen's Protection" composed of 11 military members that will be named by…the minister of the Defense and Chavez himself.
On the other hand, Barreto's collegue, Freddy Bernal, asked that the law for the creation of a National Police be passed as soon as possible.
So this ghost blogger, after having read and analyzed all the facts, came to the conclusion that there are too many Policemen and too many Police forces in this story.
Worried and skeptical ghost blogger.
Shocking news
This is one of the saddest posts I have ever written
El Nacional reports that four bodies believed to be those of the Faddoul brothers were found in the town of
The three Venezuelan-Canadian kids, ages 12, 13 and 17, were kidnapped with their driver when they were taken to school on February 23. According to witnesses, the car with the kids was stopped and then escorted by several police officers in motorcycle. The 13 year old was said to have a physical disability. A ransom of 4.5 million dollars was asked for the release of the kids. The Government of Canada had contacted and pressured the Venezuelan government about the case, but said that had received minimal information.
This crime reminds me of last week abduction and immediate killing of Venezuelan-Italian businessman Filippo Sindoni, the successful owner of a pasta empire, a TV station and a newspaper. In this case, the car carrying Sindoni was also stopped by what looked like Police officers.
So Chacon just said that he hopes that this case is not given a political bias. But, what is going on, Minister Chacon? How can you explain those kidnappings? It looks like too many police officers involved in those cases…and what have you been doing about the personal safety of Venezuelans all these years? Why so many kidnappings and killings?
I would also like to get Vice President José Vicente Rangel's version for those cases .
This is not a film to "falsify the truth" Mr. Vice President (1), these horrible kidnapping and killings are for real. This is the true state of affairs in
Jorge Arena
Update note.- Daniel also wrote about the story here and showed a n image that appeared TODAY in El Nacional. A propaganda by mayor Juan Barreto to justify the creation of a sort of armed neighbouring seceurity forces, which in my view further pursues the militarization of the civil society. Was it bad timing or Barreto was purposedly exploiting the death
of the Faddoul brothers to promote this new type of popular brigades? Note that the bodies were found before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Here is the link to the infamous add.

If Tesla's Cracked Cybertruck Window Decal Is a Joke Then We're the Punchline
From meme to merchandise.
The only thing better than learning from your mistakes may be making money off them. Just ask Elon Musk, who (via Tesla's store) just released official Cybertruck merchandise based on one of the company's most infamous (and embarrassing) moments.
For anyone unfamiliar, this $55 smashed window decal pays homage to the first big Cybertruck event during which Tesla's head designer, Franz von Holzhausen, very visibly cracked the EV's "bulletproof" windows (twice) with a tepidly-tossed metal ball. If you need a refresher, please watch here.
That moment — now immortalized in an overpriced sticker — was, as we would later learn, kind of a bad omen. Over the course of the four years since that infamous event in 2019, the Cybertruck has gone through a lot permutations — not all of them, uh, good.
Now we know that the base Cybertruck costs about $20,000 more than originally projected, the range for the premium $100,000 Cybertruck (without an expensive battery add-on) is nowhere near as formidable as Musk promised, and the glass... Well, it remains to be seen, but I wouldn't willingly drive your Cybertruck into the middle of a shootout if I were you.
But if there's one thing Musk seems to know how to do, it's seize on a marketing opportunity. See, for example, loads of other tongue-in-cheek products like the "Boring Not-A-Flamethrower" which is an actual flamethrower, the Tesla-branded booty shorts with the words S3XY plastered on the back which was a nod to Tesla's EV models, the S,3,X, and Y, or the Tesla Tequila.
In this case, Musk seems to have scored another win with its OMFG sticker that fits perfectly over the rear driver's side window on the Cybertruck. The decal sold out in just hours.
Maybe you think it's funny, or maybe you think it's cringe, but either way, Tesla is taking a joke and trying to turn it into a profit. I'll be honest, though, if you actually buy one of these things, it's worth considering if the punchline of said joke is actually you.

Pregnant Kate Middleton Shows She Knows How To Make Kids Smile While Visiting Primary School
Pregnant Kate Middleton Shows She Knows How To Make Kids Smile While Visiting Primary School
The Duchess of Cambridge, who is expected to give birth to her third child next month, visited the Pegasus Primary School in Oxford to find out more about the work of charity Family Links.
Watch: Tillie, 9 months, gets a royal wave from Princess Kate and sends an enthusiastic one back. Kate has just arrived at Pegasus Primary school in Oxford pic.twitter.com/PfK3dwOZtx
— Simon Perry (@SPerryPeoplemag) March 6, 2018
Family Links is a national charity that is aimed to empower children, parents, families, schools, and workplaces to be emotionally healthy.
The 36-year-old Kate wanted to see how the charity works with schools nationwide and provides support to children and parents.
via GIPHY
Pregnant Kate looked stunning in a cream JoJo Maman Bebe coat as she was greeting children, who came to school with dozens of flags.
A nine-month-old baby girl was partially happy to see Middleton as the duchess gave her a royal wave, which made the little Tillie very excited.
The duchess also met parents to learn more how the Family Links helped them overcome challenges and listened to kids about their experience at school.
Kate told them:
Keep up the hard work. It was very nice to meet you as well. Good luck. Say hi to your mums and dads.
11-year-old Jodie said to the duchess that his grandmother was excited to hear she was coming to the school and told her that he will say hi to the royal:
She should be very proud of you, so well done.
Recently, there have been many rumors that Kate might give birth on St. George's Day on April 23. The new royal addition should arrive just before his uncle Harry and Meghan Markle get married on May 19.
The gender of the baby is still unknown, but chances are high that it will get a very traditional name, just as his (or hers) little brother and sister.

Miami Dolphins Chris Grier says talks with Ja'Wuan James will begin soon
By Brian Miller
The Miami Dolphins have been quite quiet on the Ja'Wuan James front but now that the league new year is just around the corner, things are heating up.
To say that things between the Miami Dolphins and Ja'Wuan James are heating up is a bit of an exaggeration. Chris Grier while speaking with media today at the NFL Combine said that they would like to get James back and that "talks will begin soon".
James had a bit of a down season in 2018 but still graded very well. The Dolphins had hoped to extend him last year but he turned down an offer and played on his 5th year option. The risk will now reap its reward as James could enter free agency as the top right tackle on the market.
While Chris Grier says that talks with James' camp will begin soon it does not mean that re-signing him his imminent. James' camp will have that knowledge of his likely market value as they will have gauged potential interest at the Combine. If the Dolphins can't meet or won't meet the asking price, no deal will get done.
The entire situation is fluid at the moment and the fact that talks have not begun yet indicate that the Dolphins view the next week and a half as enough to get the job done or simply let it go. Free agency begins on March 13th so the Dolphins window on all of their impending free agents is starting to close.
On the other hand the Dolphins should be pretty confident that a deal could get done because they should have an idea of what James' asking price could be. Miami simply has to weigh the value of that deal with keeping him. If the Dolphins are in fact hoping to be all in on a left-handed quarterback then James would become the blindside blocker for that QB.
The next two weeks is going to be very interesting.

Let's Talk Basics: What You Need to Know
1. Domain Name and Web Hosting
Before you hit the ground running, you'll need a domain name and web hosting service. Think of the domain name as your website's address and the web hosting as the home where your website lives. Here's what you should consider:
- Choose a memorable domain name that represents your brand.
- Opt for a reliable web hosting provider with excellent customer support.
- Look for a provider offering a one-click install for popular content management systems (CMS) like WordPress.
2. Content Management System (CMS)
A CMS is the backbone of your website – it's the platform that allows you to manage and organize your content. Some popular CMS options include:
- WordPress: The go-to choice for many, thanks to its user-friendly interface and extensive customization options.
- Joomla: A flexible CMS with a steeper learning curve than WordPress, but powerful nonetheless.
- Drupal: A developer-friendly CMS offering top-notch security and performance.
3. Keep It Simple
An overly cluttered and complicated design can scare away visitors.
- Use a clean, easy-to-navigate layout.
- Choose a color scheme that aligns with your brand identity.
- Avoid excessive use of flashy animations and auto-playing media.
4. Content Is King
Your website's content is its bread and butter. Keep these tips in mind:
- Create engaging, valuable, and relevant content for your target audience.
- Break up large blocks of text with headings, bullet points, and images.
- Keep an eye on your spelling and grammar – mistakes can hurt your credibility.
5. Optimize for Search Engines
Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for driving traffic to your website. Some beginner-friendly SEO tips include:
- Research and use relevant keywords in your content, headings, and meta tags.
- Create a sitemap to help search engines crawl and index your site.
- Make sure your website is mobile-friendly.
6. Leverage Social Media
Spread the word about your website by harnessing the power of social media:
- Create engaging content and share it on relevant platforms.
- Interact with your audience and respond to their comments and messages.
- Utilize social media advertising to reach a wider audience.
A1: The time it takes to build a website varies depending on factors like your experience level, design complexity, and the amount of content. It could take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks.
A2: The cost of creating a website depends on factors such as domain registration, web hosting, and whether you're using a free or premium theme. On average, expect to spend anywhere from $100 to $300 for a basic website, with costs increasing for more complex sites or additional features.
A3: With the user-friendly CMS options available today, coding skills aren't necessary for creating a basic website. However, having some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can be beneficial when customizing your site's appearance and functionality.
A4: Opt for a responsive design, which adapts your website's layout to different screen sizes. Most modern CMS options, like WordPress, offer responsive themes to make this process easier.
A5: Regularly updating your website's content not only keeps your audience engaged but also helps improve your SEO. Aim to update your site at least once a month, but more frequently if possible.
Creating your first website can be both exhilarating and challenging, but with these website creation tips, tricks, and advice for beginners, you'll be well on your way to success. Remember to start with the basics – a strong domain name, web hosting, and CMS – and focus on a simple, user-friendly design with high-quality content. Don't forget to optimize your site for SEO and leverage social media for maximum exposure. With determination and persistence, your online presence will flourish, and you'll soon be navigating the web jungle like a pro!

CLOSAG appeal to Nana Addo to restructure SSNIT pension scheme
The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOSAG) is appealing to President Akufo-Addo to ensure the restructuring of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to ensure the welfare of pensioners.
Following a revision of the Pensions Act for SSNIT to stop the payment of lump sum benefits to pensioners from January 2020 under PNDC Law 247, workers who turn 60 years will no longer receive lump-sum payments from the Social Security and National Insurance Trust. Such contributors will now have to turn to the fund managers of their second-tier contribution for lump sums.
Speaking at its closed-door 2020 May Day virtual celebration, the Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, Isaac Bampoe-Addo said he believes a review of the scheme will improve the welfare of pensioners.
"On this workers day, 1st May 2020, CLOSAG is appealing to his excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana to personally ensure that SSNIT is immediately restructured to assure workers of income security in retirement and to meet their commitments under the three-tier pension scheme."
"On our part, the hedge pensions trust has developed systems that enable it to play a leading role within the pensions industry, it has achieved economy, efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of the required services to the benefit of our cherished clients within the local government service, the civil service, the non-formal division of the ministry of education and other public services as well as the private sector. It is gratifying to note that during the first quarter of 2020 the hedge pensions trust has paid all the 214 pensioners who applied for tier-two benefits spanning from 1st January 2010 to time of retirement" he added.
According to the Mr Isaac Bampoe-Addo, SSNIT was to reduce its administrative cost, high staff numbers and poor returns on investments per a recommendation given by a Presidential Commission on Pensions established by former President John Agyekum Kufuor in August 2004, but the Trust did not heed the recommendation.
"The commission recommended that SSNIT, as an institution, should undergo an extensive restructuring which should involve an overhaul of its governance, management and administrative structure. Also, the proposed increase from one to three Deputy Director Generals ought to be re-examined by the SSNIT management, " he noted.

All India Football Federation (AIFF) general secretary Kushal Das on Friday said that the main issue with football in the country is the lack of a robust league structure.
The Indian men's football league system consists of three divisions (Indian Super League, I-league and I-League 2nd Division), besides the Indian Women's League (IWL).
Currently ranked 106th in the FIFA chart, the men's national team is aiming to qualify for its second successive AFC Asian Cup finals and are clubbed with Afghanistan (150), Cambodia (171) Hong Kong (147) in Group D for the qualifiers in June.
"... It's such a popular sport, easy to play, still India is far from where it should be and that's a very valid question. I think the main issue with football in India is the league structure," Das said at the launch of 'International Sports Expo' in Mumbai.
India kicked off the I-league in 2007 while countries like Japan and South Korea had started much before, and Das conceded that India was late on that front too.
"Now way back in the 1970s, India used to beat Japan, in the 60s India beat South Korea to win the Asian Cup, but after that we lost. The reason is very simple; Japan started the league, their national league in the 1980s, and South Korea at the same time. India actually started a national league in 2007, which is the I-league, so we are 20 years behind.
"There is no other option but to play continuously under a good coach for six to eight months in a year and play a certain minimum number of matches in a proper league structure, that is home and away, when you are playing for six-eight months, that is the structure which is missing," the AIFF official elaborated.
He also said that the duration of the Indian Super League also needs to be increased.
ISL is now the country's top league, with the I-League pushed down in the hierarchy.
"We are trying to put that structure in place, which is happening, we have now the ISL, of course the duration of ISL needs to be increased. Hopefully going forward next year, we would have a structure where football will be played for six-eight months and at all levels.
"Not just the senior level, it has to be at the U13, U15, U18 boys and girls, and that is what we need to establish, hopefully it will happen," Das signed off.
