By Paul Gardner
We have recently been asked to contemplate the idea that the future of soccer will belong to the Germans, rather than the Spanish who rule the roost at the moment.
The idea is logical enough, being born of the comprehensive way in which the top German clubs, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, annihilated Barcelona and Real Madrid in the recent Champions League semifinals.
Based on those games, the German teams were unarguably stronger. Their soccer looked quicker, more lively, altogether more effective. In particular, Barcelona -- until then a team enthroned at the apex of soccer, hailed by many as the greatest club team ever -- was seriously outplayed by Bayern. Nor was this a one-game wonder -- the teams met twice, and the German superiority was consistently upheld.
Of course, it's not that straightforward. All four clubs employ foreign players. Plenty of them. At Real Madrid and Bayern, approximately half the playing rosters are foreign players. Dortmund has nine foreigners (out of 28), Barcelona has eight foreigners (out of 23).
Of the 22 players who took the field at Wembley at the start of this year's Champions League final, 10 were non-Germans (six with Bayern, four with Dortmund).
A mixture that makes it difficult to assess to what extent Real and Barcelona can be said to represent Spanish soccer, or Bayern and Dortmund can represent German soccer.
Nevertheless, the German case seems like a strong one because of a fairly widespread feeling that the Spanish are on the wane.
We're talking now of national teams, which are a much more exact measure of a country's soccer prowess. Under this analysis, Spain is seen as yesterday's aging team, while the future belongs to Germany.
The reasoning being that opponents have worked out how to negate the Spanish style, so that Spain is finding it increasingly difficult to impose it self on other teams, and that the best it can hope for these days is a labored 1-0 win.
Whereas Germany sent a remarkably young team to the last World Cup, delighted fans with its skillful, attacking, goalscoring soccer, and finished in third place. (Well, things were not quite that smooth. In one game the Germans did resort to a dogged defensive style. It lost that game 1-0 ... to Spain).
Over the weekend we got a chance for a closer look at this analysis of soccer's future, when Spain met Germany in the UEFA under-21 championship. (A word about the tournament: it takes two years to play. Qualifying rounds started in 2011. The regulations allow that any player meeting the under-21 definition in 2011 is allowed to continue playing throughout the whole tournament. Which means that players involved in this final round are usually around 22 years old; some may be 23).
The news is good for Spain. It looks like the Germans themselves, despite all the nice things being said about them, are still scared of Spain. They played that way in that 2010 World Cup game, and they played that way again in this game. And the result was the same -- a 1-0 win for Spain.
The German tactics were totally defensive, complete with the inevitable tactical fouls and the willingness to simply boot the ball long -- to nowhere in particular - when under pressure. The Germans needed at least a tie to stay alive in the tournament. They kept the Spaniards at bay for 85 minutes, until some tricky dribbling from substitute Alvaro Morata pulled the German defense out of shape, and he slammed a narrow-angle shot past goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
A thoroughly merited win for Spain, which stuck to its game, the close on-the-ground passing, the quick off-the-ball movement that has always been its style. Captain Thiago Cantara of Barcelona hit the post early in the game, and the Spanish saw the Germans somehow scramble the ball away from the goalmouth on two occasions.
There was really very little to admire from the Germans, who had only 31% of the ball-possession, and managed only two shots on goal. Threadbare stats, for sure, but when you're playing abject defense, you can live with them, as you battle to keep that 0-0 scoreline and hope for the bonus of a break away goal.
The immediately noticeable difference between the teams was, simply size. Now, this can be deceptive. I don't have the relevant stats -- I can only say that the Germans looked larger. Maybe the stats will not bear that out, but the key thing is that the Germans played as though they were larger, heavier players. Their movement looked heavy-footed when confronted with the light-footed Spanish players.
It was that quickness-of-foot that really distinguished the Spanish players. Consistently throughout the team, throughout the game, the vital first-touch of the Spaniards was remarkable for its smoothness, its softness, its ability to bring the ball under instant control.
In particular, I noted the wonderful way in which the Spanish midfielders -- notably Thiago, and Koke -- were able to receive the ball -- on the ground of course -- while facing their own goal. Repeatedly, the Spanish player was able to control the ball, to move it sweetly and softly to where the player could take it forward, while spinning away from a close-marking German defender (there was always one of those) and breaking into space. All that in one slick movement it seemed.
There was nothing to match that from the Germans, whose movement of the ball looked conventional and predictable. Sheer speed was not a factor in the game, with neither team possessing anyone fast enough to outpace opponents. The Germans looked as though they might threaten in the air on free kicks and corner kicks, but such a threat never developed.
Above all, there was no sign on the German team of a scheming midfielder, a player with the all-around vision, dribbling and accurate passing ability of Spain's Thiago and Koke. Without such a player, one who could bring coherent play to the often frantic running of Germany's athletic players, there was little chance of maintaining possession of the ball.
You can see, though, that my theorizing is largely irrelevant because the Germans had chosen to play a defensive, counterattacking game. They had no need, in that approach, for the player I'm talking about.
Anyway, the tactics are not what mattered here. The superiority -- and it was a crystal clear superiority -- of the Spanish stemmed from their immaculate ball control. In fact, in that area, just one thing let them down. A fault not unknown to the current senior team. The inability to get the ball into the net. On half a dozen occasions, the Spanish tore through the packed German defense with dazzling passing movements, great chances were created ... and wasted.
But that sounds like something that can be worked on. I'd be less certain that the Germans will find it easy to make any progress with their style in this game, which looked more like a retreat to the Germans of the 1980s.
For the moment, the future looks good for Spain. It advances to the tournament semifinal, while the Germans go home to, possibly, ponder how to develop quicker-footed and lighter-footed players. My guess, based on how quick the Germans have always been to change things when they don't work, is that such players will be found rather quickly. Yes, world champion Spain, brush up your Shakespeare: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
"annihilated Barcelona ...in the recent Champions League semifinals" - remember, Barca was without their top two and a host of central defenders, and also that the first 3 BM goals against Barca were all illegal. A tough road to comeback from 3-0, and when Barca had to press to try to get back into, they left themselves exposed for a 4-0. Only novices are unaware of these two major factors.
Regarding foreigners on clubs... Javi Martinez, in the context above (short defenders) was then the deciding factor in Bayern beating Barca, he shut down his Spanish compatriots, Xavi and Iniesta
"... fairly widespread feeling that the Spanish are on the wane"... this is true, if you follow Spanish football, you will know that Spain peaked around 2008-2009 (yes, even in the midst of the USA lucky game against Spain)... in that time, Spain equaled the best international record of all-time (equaling Brazil). However, Spain have dominated their opponents since right after the 2006WC, an unequaled dominance in world football - nearly 7 years now. Even though Spain, deservedly so, won the WC2010, compared to the quality of the squad the 2 years prior to that, they were less of a team, but still so high that they managed to win the WC and then do the same in 2012Euro without their very best goal-scorer in history (David Villa)
"Germany ...last World Cup, delighted fans with its skillful, attacking, goalscoring soccer" Of course Spain would have done this and more had the other teams not hunkered down and played anti-football, for fear of being demolished by the Spaniards, and no doubt, if these teams also did the same to Germany (which are not feared as the Spaniards are), then Germany would have a terribly difficult and low scoring output themselves... the differnce is that they have the luxury of not being feared, and consequently can play an open-ended game against opponents. And of course, you rightly point out that the Germans resort to the fearful-of-the-Spaniards anti-football when they play against Spain.
"... there was no sign on the German team of a scheming midfielder, a player with the all-around vision, dribbling and accurate passing ability of Spain...." These young Germans are want to do what Schweinsteiger did after Xavi wiped him out of the game in the Euro2008 final... Schweiny decided to copy Xavi and his style, and of course, it paid dividends for him in the past few years, and against Barca in that Champions League semi final tie back several weeks ago.
BTW, if you did a larger piece on all the U ("under" teams of Spain, you've got a whole lot more pile of evidence for suggesting they will continue to dominate world football
Part 2/
"Yes, world champion Spain, brush up your Shakespeare: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."... isn't it remarkable when you're being gunned for, for 7 years, that you're still on top... this has been the best team in history, even Pele has admitted that the 1970 Brazil squad has been surpassed by this golden age of Spanish and world football, believe what the wall street journal has said about La Roja... this is the best sports team in history, not just football, yes football, but bar none, the best in any sport... and yes, I did see that 1970 Brazil team play (tostao, Rivelino, Gerson, Pele, Carlos Alberto, Jairzinho, Clodoaldo), and I see the Kaiser and Johann, and I saw Ardiles's and Diego's Argentina... this is it, this is the team ... and yes, they are waning, and all odds are against them for the 2014 Cup, they are already in uncharted territory... though waning now, give homage to the greatest of all time
Readers, if you're not educated on Spain and its players, and you blindly listen to American (who follow British) Commentators, you need to find out how to watch La Liga each week
Good article Paul
soccer fans, you may never see the likes of it again, take note.
PS... Paul, I've been reading you since the early NASL days, thanks for "The Master and His Method" and as I recall, I believe you helped "fix" the offside rule, and I've appreciated your many contributions over the years.
Excellent column PG and an equally excellent comment David V. Admittedly it helps that I too am a fanatic regarding Spanish football. The drop-off in Spanish, Barca, Real Madrid performance is largely due to their failure to finish but the adjustment of other teams defensively is also a strong element. In spite of that, I cold still watch the Spanish midfield magicians for hours even if they never attempted to score.
Enjoyed reading PG's article and the comments above; agree totally.
David V, thanks for the reminder of PG's role in "The Master and his Method"; I'd forgotten about that (not the movie, just PG's role). I watched that (as a film!) in the mid 1970s when it was shown by my Jr HS soccer coach (I had never played soccer before, and didn't even know what a soccer ball was), and it certainly inspired me to work on my ball control. My coach emphasized the short passing game ("triangles"), and we rarely lost (since most teams back then were just "booting" the ball). So contrary to PG's vendetta against coaches, sometimes they can do great things (of course, in his defense, all those other teams booting the ball also had coaches...). I agree that the reports of the demise of the Spanish are premature. That being said, finishing is what separates the good teams from the great ones. My concern about Spain (and Barcelona) is that sometimes they seem to possess for possession's sake, and forget that the goal should always be to score. And while they are incredibly good at making so many short passes that they walk the ball into the goal, only doing that can make you predictable, and thus easier to stop (note, I did not say easy, just easier...). I would like to see both the Spanish and Barcelona mix their impressive short game with the occasional powerful shot from distance, or even, late in the game with the defense is packed in with the score 0-0, have some guys in the box who are not 5'7" and who actually excel in the air, so that those balls pumped in actually have a chance to score. I hate watching defenses that simply pack the box actually succeed. Having some variety would make both teams even more effective (and more importantly for the spectators, open up the game). A game with Barcelona or Spain should never be boring, yet the last WC demonstrated that when teams pack the box, even Spain can be boring to watch. I don't blame Spain, but I think they are in the best position to remedy the situation (since their opponents are too afraid to take any risks, knowing that if they do, they stand a good chance of getting torn apart).
Agreed that rumors of Spain's demise are very much exaggerated. This crop of youngsters will help refresh the team and the timing is good. My own take on the failures this year of Barcelona (who with a few bolt-ons from RM pretty much *are* the Spanish national team) is that their players have naturally aged and therefore lost a very small fraction of their ability. While they're still very good, they're not quite at the level they used to be, and unfortunately the Barca/Spanish style requires incredibly high levels of ability to pull off successfully. Just a slight decline in talent (for example, due to age) and you end up being...well, Arsenal. Pretty good, and can beat most teams, but struggle to compete with the very best. Barca & Spain will need a youth injection in the next couple of years and they seem primed to get one.
But for the record, I find most games with Barcelona or Spain boring to watch. Tiki-taka puts me to sleep.
Making any prediction about the future of soccer based on the UCL is called "sensational journalism." Pundits and journalists are making a big fuss of it all the time. Few years back, they talked about the English domination because 3 English clubs made the semifinals. The following year, they had one.
Excellent article... Good comments (for the most part). I still think it is, to a great degree irrelevant, the proverbial "Apples and Oranges" to compare great "club" teams IE: Real Madrid, Manchester (both) etc. To the top countries. While one has the world of players at their disposal AND the money to get them. The other has only nationals to play with. Perhaps no better example than England. Arguably the top league, average (relatively speaking) national team. On the opposite side, see Argentina and Brazil.

I walked past her into the hallway, with no smiling or hardly acknowledging her, I was wearing a very expensive dark grey suit with an open necked, black blouse, I'd trimmed by beard, shaved my entire cock and balls and had picked a very rare Arabian aftershave which caused her to inhale appreciatively and moan as she looked me up and down as I passed.

To say since you don't love yourself enough, that you are putting up with relationships is not necessarily fair.

That feeling, be it the strain appearing when you and a girl to whom you are attracted look each other in the eye, the confidence that makes you settle on that contractor, or the real feeling that lets the server know you care, is the most important aspect of all human communication.

Leadership Coaching
Benefits of being coached as a leader offers you:
- an expanding sense of what is possible
- clarity in understanding your strengths, weaknesses and alternative approaches to any current paradigm (particularly if it doesn't seem to be gaining any traction)
- learning in how to work though others to develop culture, collaborate and offer more sustained success.
Leadership coaching can include the use of profiling or 360° feedback to guide the coaching intentions for the individual or the company .
Conversations in leadership coaching sessions can be externally oriented or internally focused – examples include:
A leader wants their team to have well thought out projects and better customer service.
The session is focused on working on clarity of communication and directions for the leader herself. She was able to identify what needed to occur to move her team in the direction she expected for her vision of better customer service to external stakeholders.
The leader wants to have greater positive impact with peers.
This leader had a number of cross team projects that had managers who were more dominant than herself. She tended to blurt out her thoughts without structuring her responses in order to be heard above the others. This had resulted in their opinion of her as being "weak", undisciplined and grand-standing on issues.
Coaching identified 3 action areas to work on:
- Networking with the managers outside of formal meetings
- Preparing papers that keep her points on target
- Self-control over the need to be heard in meetings
"If you want to make minor, incremental changes and improvement, work on practices, behaviour or attitude. But if you want to make significant, quantum improvement, work on paradigms… perception, assumption, theory, frame of reference or lens through which you view the world."

Chapter 1159: Flying to Singapore
"Xiaowu, why did you shoot without permission?" Alice asked a bodyguard under her.
"I was afraid that Mr. Yang would have an accident, so I shot Park Zhenan to death…" The bodyguard called Xiaowu explained carefully.
"Who asked you to shoot without permission? Didn't you see that Yang Ming had already subdued Park Zhenan?" Alice glared at Xiaowu and said angrily.
"I'm… sorry, Miss Alice…" Xiaowu bowed his head and carefully apologized.
"Take him out; you should understand the rules here. I hate people who act on their own will!" Alice waved and said to another bodyguard, "Xiaosan, you have to deal with him."
"Yes!" Another bodyguard named Xiaosan nodded, and then took the dejected Xiaowu out of the room…
After leaving the room, Xiaosan escorted Xiaowu and went to the end of the room. Then he looked back and found nothing peculiar. He let go of the hand that was holding Xiaowu and smiled, "Let's go and have a drink!"
"Let's go!" The dejected face of Xiaowu changed into a smile.
In the room, Alice looked at Yang Ming apologetically. "I'm sorry. My men are meddlesome…"
"Really?" Yang Ming took his gaze back from the door panel and said faintly, "It's nothing. I wanted to ask why this Park Zhenan wanted to kill me, but now, it is no longer necessary."
"It is no longer necessary? What do you mean?" Alice was slightly surprised.
"The person is dead. There is no need for it naturally." Yang Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I completed the thing that I've promised you. What about the thing you promised me?"
"I am… only fifteen years old. Do you really want to?" Alice hesitated and asked.
"You don't look like you are fifteen." Yang Ming glanced at Alice and said.
"Then when do you want it?" Alice did not expect that the result of today would be like this. She could only take one step at a time. She would just delay it while she could, then she would plan later.
"Keep it first. Just like you said, you are only fifteen years old. Although you don't look like you're fifteen years old, I am still not very comfortable in my heart. We can talk about it after you are a sixteen-year-old adult." Yang Ming waved his hand. "Do you have anything else? If there is nothing else, I'll leave first…"
Yang Ming took off his jacket and white scarf and threw it aside, then he turned and walked toward the door.
Alice clenched her teeth, and her little hand slowly reached toward her waist… At this time, Yang Ming suddenly turned around!
"You… what is wrong with you?" Alice was startled, and her hands unnaturally moved away from her waist.
"Nothing. Park Zhenan wanted to kill me before. I wanted to see if his corpse resurrected or not, planning to jump up and shoot at me." Yang Ming shrugged and pointed to the body of Park Zhenan on the ground.
"This… how is this possible…" Alice said with an awkward look.
"I don't think it's possible." Yang Ming smiled. "I probably have an illusion? I just vaguely felt like someone was going to shoot me just now."
"…" Alice's expression suddenly became a bit unnatural. "You… think too much. I will send you away…"
"Of course, you should send me away, or else, how do I go back? Do you think I can find Old Buffon's manor from here?" Yang Ming looked at Alice and smiled.
"… Oh … well…" Alice nodded in panic. However, it was only for a moment, after which she resumed her normal look and smiled sweetly at Yang Ming.
This time, Alice personally drove Yang Ming back. Alice drove a two-door sports car. It was still a brand that Yang Ming had never seen before, but it didn't matter. Many brands and styles of cars were not sold in China, and Yang Ming was not a fan of cars. It was normal not to know.
The car was slowly driving on the road. Although it was a sports car, Alice did not drive very fast. However, it was very stable, not at all like the calmness that she should have at this age.
"Alice, which country are you from?" Yang Ming asked suddenly. From the time they went out, Yang Ming remained silent. He did not speak, and Alice did not say anything either.
Now Yang Ming's sudden conversation also gave Alice a slight shock.
"I am Italian," Alice said with a smile.
"I am talking about your origin." Yang Ming shook his head.
"Origin? What do you mean? My ancestral home?" Alice looked at Yang Ming with some doubts. "I am like you, Chinese."
" Oh … it's nothing." Yang Ming saw Alice answering this, and he didn't say anything else.
Until they reached Old Buffon's manor, Yang Ming and Alice didn't say anything else. Alice seemed to be deliberately keeping silent.
"When you are sixteen, remember what you said." Yang Ming got off the car, turned around, and looked back at Alice. "Be good, and take care. At least, before you are sixteen, I don't want anything to happen to you."
" Oh … stop it…" Alice groaned with a flustered red face.
Yang Ming walked to Old Buffon's villa, and Alice took a deep breath. Her little hand reached for her waist again, then sighed helplessly. She started the car and went away.
After Alice drove away, Yang Ming frowned. Today's matter was beyond his expectations!
On the surface, Park Zhenan lost his mind because he lost to me, so he took out his pistol and tried to kill me. Alice's men, Xiaowu, is afraid that Park Zhenan would injure me, so he shot and killed Park Zhenan.
This process is very simple, but actually?
First, Park Zhenan has no grievance with me. Just because of the gambling, would he become so angry and kill me? Then he must have killed many people to be able to sit in the position of the King of Gamblers. It is obviously impossible.
Second, it seemed unreasonable for Alice's man, Xiaowu, to shoot rashly. How can such a bodyguard around an upper-class person be so undisciplined?
Yang Ming had seen the men around Old Buffon. Were there any undisciplined? He rashly took action when his master didn't order it. Moreover, according to my situation at the moment, I had already subdued Park Zhenan. There was no need to shoot anymore!
However, these are just guesses; it's not the main point! The main point is the actions of Xiaowu and Xiaosan after going out, as well as Alice who was tempted to make a move behind me…
Who is this Alice? What kind of power does she represent? Everything has become somewhat confusing.
However, even if Yang Ming guessed something, he did not act rashly. Killing Maligeben and Savin Geese would not cause any trouble, but Alice was different! Her position in Europe was equivalent to Old Buffon. If Yang Ming wanted to do something to her, even if there was a strong intervention from Old Buffon, he was afraid the result would not be too good…
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Ming did not take any action on Alice.
Unexpectedly, a visit to Europe could cause so many unnecessary troubles, but it also allowed Yang Ming to reassess his opponent's strength!
Yang Ming's opponents didn't seem to be as weak as he thought. Their power may be even stronger than him! At least one thing could be proved. Country L was controlled by a certain force a few years ago. If Alice really was in a group with the mysterious boss, then it meant that the boss did not become powerful within these few years!
In addition, Zheng Shaopeng could also see that the boss had established his own power earlier. But what Yang Ming didn't expect was that the boss had influence in Europe.
Yang Ming couldn't be blamed for thinking like this because Yang Ming really couldn't think of the existence of any other enemies!
However, this enemy, how did Yang Ming provoke him? The only thing Yang Ming couldn't figure out was why a boss who had a lot of power a few years ago suddenly became his enemy!
If it were said that before he got his special abilities and before he was on the road to success, it was easy for the boss to kill him, but at that time, he was still fine… Could it be that the enemy had a grievance with me after I became stronger?
Yang Ming sighed a little. He couldn't figure out anything at the moment. For the time being, he didn't think about it anymore. It didn't make sense to rack his brain. It was better to handle the things at hand first.
In the sports car, Alice dialed a phone.
"Brother, it is me, Little Ai," Alice said concisely.
"How is the situation?" The male voice on the phone still asked with his strange low voice.
"No success." Alice sighed. "Where did you find this dumb*ss, Park Zhenan? After taking out the gun, he didn't shoot directly. Instead, he said a bunch of useless words, something about he was not convinced, and Yang Ming was cheating, and so on. As a result, Yang Ming took advantage of this moment and subdued him…"
"Oh ?" The man's breathing became a little bit rushed. "What did Park Zhenan say?"
"Nothing. He was killed by Xiaowu," said Alice.
"Dead? Never mind. He is not my man anyway. I bought him for a few hundreds of millions. It is better that he is dead. I don't have to pay him." The man obviously did not react much to the death of Park Zhenan. "He can only blame himself for talking nonsense while fishing out the gun. However, you are quite decisive."
"I was also afraid of what Park Zhenan will say," Alice explained.
" En , this is nothing. How is Yang Ming so easily killed?" The man smiled. "He is such a dumb*ss. Who knows one day he will be killed by me due to his carelessness?"
" Hehe … but, Brother, Yang Ming seems to have noticed something…" Alice always had a strange feeling, as if Yang Ming knew something.
"Really? He has already noticed something, but there is no evidence. It doesn't matter. He wouldn't think of me…" The man said indifferently.
"That's good!" Alice breathed a sigh of relief. "Right, one more thing. That promise I made with Yang Ming… What should I do?"
"What do you think?" asked the man.
"What do I think? Do you think I will really use myself as a reward to Yang Ming?" Alice also asked.
" Hehe , it's not a bad thing. When a man does that 1 [1], his attention is concentrated, and he won't pay attention to other things. In this case, if you kill him…" The man smiled and said.
The expression on Alice's face stiffened for a moment and then she said, " Oh … I got it."
Yang Ming's trip to Europe was coming to an end. The reason he stayed here was that he promised Alice to help her participate in a gambling game. Now that the game was over, Yang Ming should leave.
However, Yang Ming had no legal status here. If he went to Singapore, he could only choose smuggling, which was somewhat troublesome. Otherwise, he must first smuggle back to his country and then use legal means to go to Singapore.
"Old Buffon, is there any way to make a fake identity in Europe and then visit Singapore with this identity?" asked Yang Ming.
"Identity? Of course, there is no problem." Old Buffon smiled, "No matter what identity you are now, whether you are an illegal immigrant or an unregistered resident, I can get you a legal identity right away."
" En , then you can help me and Yanyan get a legal identity." Yang Ming did not expect Old Buffon to agree so easily. However, thinking about it, in this capitalist country, these things were a piece of cake with Old Buffon's identity and status.
"This is no problem!" Old Buffon nodded, and his face showed a reluctant expression. "Master, are you going to leave…"
"Of course, I can't stay here all the time." Yang Ming saw Old Buffon's look and was a bit sad. After all, Yang Ming also liked this guy, Old Buffon.
"Then will you come back?" Old Buffon knew that he couldn't persuade Yang Ming to stay, so he did not insist.
"Yes, definitely." Yang Ming smiled. "If I don't come here, I will go to Country X. Country X is very close to here. If you miss me, you can always look for me!"
"That's settled. Master, as long as you don't leave me!" Old Buffon was not an unreasonable person. After saying this, he went to handle things.
To say that he was handling things, in fact, it was something that could be settled with a call. Sure enough, within Yang Ming's expectation, there was nothing that couldn't be solved here without money. Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan's identities were Asian-American immigrants that came here to invest, and they were close business partners of the Buffon Family.
This name… Yang Ming was a little dumbfounded. But it didn't matter, it was just an identity.
After a day of rest, Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan boarded the flight to Singapore. Huang Lele… They shouldn't be too impatient, right?
Yang Ming was ready to go to Singapore and then contact Huang Lele. It should be considered as a little surprise for her.
"After arriving in Singapore, you go handle your things. Don't worry about me." On the plane, Wang Xiaoyan suddenly said.
" Oh ?" Yang Ming was surprised and looked at Wang Xiaoyan inexplicably.
"With Huang Lele's family, it is inappropriate for me to show up." Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "It just so happens that I haven't been to Singapore yet. You don't need to care about me. I will walk around myself."
Yang Ming looked at Wang Xiaoyan with a strange look. He didn't expect her to take the initiative to suggest this.
"What? Why do you look at me with this kind of look?" Wang Xiaoyan glared at Yang Ming.
"Nothing…" Yang Ming shook his head. Sometimes, Wang Xiaoyan's thoughts were hard to ponder over.
Singapore Changi Airport.
After getting off the plane, Yang Ming discovered that it was almost the same as the land of China. The yellow race people who spoke Chinese were everywhere. No wonder Huang Lele and Huang Rongjin were so fluent in their Chinese.
The Chinese in Singapore occupied a large portion of the local race, so although the official language here was Malay, Chinese was one of the most widely spoken languages.
After getting off the plane, Yang Ming called Huang Lele's phone. At this time, Huang Lele was free from house arrest, so she could answer calls freely. Huang Lele couldn't reach Yang Ming only because when Yang Ming went to Africa, the phone was changed to a satellite phone, and Huang Lele did not know the number.
"Hello?" Huang Lele picked up the phone with some hesitation because it was a very unfamiliar number.
"Lele, it is me," said Yang Ming.
"Yang Ming! Where are you?!" Huang Lele immediately recognized Yang Ming's voice, and her emotions immediately became happy. She said with great joy, "You finally called me. I couldn't contact you!"
"Didn't I go to Africa to solve your family's problems… Now that it is settled, I immediately came to Singapore!" When Yang Ming said this, he obviously felt the contempt from Wang Xiaoyan's gaze. He blushed all of a sudden.
"Things are solved… Ah, are you in Singapore?" Huang Lele asked in surprise.
" En , I am at Singapore Changi Airport. Where is your house? I will go look for you!" Yang Ming said.
"No need. I will pick you up from the airport with Second Brother! You wait for me!" Huang Lele said quickly.
"Well, then I will wait for you at the airport." Yang Ming listened to Huang Lele, so he readily agreed. Yang Ming was not familiar with this place. He might not be able to find the house even if she told him the address.
" En , you wait for me. I will go over right away!" After Huang Lele hung up the phone, she quickly rushed out of her room and ran downstairs.
Today was the day when her father, Huang Xiaofei, was discharged. Big Brother and Second Brother were at home, discussing the company's affairs with their father in the living room downstairs. Huang Xiaofei saw his daughter rushing down the stairs, and he suddenly frowned. He smiled lovingly. "Lele, you are also a big girl. Why can't you still pay attention to your image?"
"Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Yang Ming came. He is now at the airport!" Huang Lele said in a hurry.
" Oh ? Yang Ming came?" As Huang Rongjin heard, he immediately stood up and said, "Let's pick him up!"
" En , I just wanted to tell you this…" Huang Lele nodded. "Dad, I will pick up Yang Ming with Second Brother, okay?"
"Then you quickly go. Don't let him wait for too long!" Huang Xiaofei's impression of Yang Ming had changed a lot now. Before that, he lost his mind because of the gold mine's matter. Now his mind was quite peaceful.

Republica Dominicana
The Dominican Republic will be our last stop in Caribbean Island. It takes around two third of the Hispanola Island the last third is Haiti. We can find a lot of different lands : mountains, rain forest, desert area...
This country is independent and democratic, it is ranked at the 70 countries regarding is GDP. The tourism is since 1990 the first revenue of the country before the industry and the agriculture. Some areas are tourist dedicated like at Punta Cana where the coast is very constructed.
The level of life is low, there is no insurance, only the officials have a retirement. In the private firms, only a indemnity is given at the departure then nothing more. Even if, the legal age to be retired is 62 years old, most of them try to work as longer as possible... a new system has been put in place since few years in order to give a retirement to the workers...
People here are very friendly, they speak few English. Even in the capital, the life is quiet and nice. It is not the same in the touristic area where the money modifies the relationship.
The history of the country is also very interesting. At "los haitises" in Samana bay, is the place where the last Caribbean Indians live. We could find some paints in the caves... the impact of Spanish colonization is also very present, and more particularly in Santo Domingo, the capital, where we can visit the palaces of the conquistadors!
And the Samana bay is now a sanctuary where humpback whales come at the beginning of the year to reproduce and give birth. It's easy to see them and the show is really wonderful !

Okoboji City Council Reviews Findings Of Lakeshore Drive Parking/Traffic Study
Wed 12-11-2019
(Okoboji)-- The Okoboji City Council Tuesday evening reviewed findings of a parking and traffic study on Lakeshore Drive. No action was taken on the matter. The council is forming a committee to further review the information and come up with a formal recommendation. Councilman Jim Delperdang says coming up with a solution that will make everyone happy is going to be a challenge...
"We've talked about it before and a solution for the walkers is different than a solution for the bikers which is different than the solution for the through traffic, so regardless of the outcome we're, people, somebody's going to complain. But I think you're right, though, if people are aware that we are trying to address the issue, that goes a long way."
The council also last (Tues.) evening reviewed revised plans for East Lake Park, across from Kum 'n Go in Okoboji. The new plans eliminate a need for a property swap between the city and the 17 Oaks Condominiums. It opens the way for Imagine Iowa Great Lakes, which will do the work, to apply for a sovereign lands permit from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The Okoboji City Council also set February 6th to re-bid the Dixon Beach sea wall rip-rap project. A public hearing on the matter was set for the council's February 11th meeting. The council was originally scheduled to receive bids on the project last month, but none were received.

Governor activates National Guard
Governor activates National Guard
PROVIDENCE – Gov. Gina Raimondo and Director of Health Nicole Alexander-Scott made several announcements about the state's response to the COVID-19 public health crisis.
• National Guard: The governor has activated the Rhode Island National Guard. This action will allow 1,000 Guardsmen and Guardswomen to train civilian medical personnel, staff call enters, distribute food and necessities to the most vulnerable and perform a number of other critical functions.
• Tax filing deadline: Rhode Island is moving the 2019 state tax filing and payment deadlines back to July 15. This is consistent with changes made at the federal level and affects both the personal income tax and the business corporation tax.
Raimondo also reiterated the importance of seeking appropriate mental and behavioral health care during this time. Rhode Islanders in recovery or those currently struggling with substance use disorders should visit https://preventoverdoseri.org/covid-19/ for helpful resources.

- 1st January 2018
- Posted by: Elizabeth
- Category: French Expressions French Notes News French Oral Exam French Verbs Junior Certificate Leaving Certificate News Items Tips unlisted
Ok so you have woken up to a new year, realising that the Junior Cert & Leaving Cert is only a few short months away. What should you be doing every day to maximise your learning potential in French. Follow these 6 tips and maximise your potential.
- VERB LIST! Concentrate on trying to learn a new verb every single day. On our website, you will find verb drills for both Junior & leaving cert students. Pick one from the list, and practice writing it in the following tenses:
Junior Cert – Present, Past & future.
Leaving Cert Present, past, future, imperfect, conditional & subjunctive. There are actually a lot of tenses for the Leaving cert, but if you can write using the above, you are doing incredibly well. Note that the subjunctive is actually referrred to as a mood.
- LISTENING Go to your exam papers and take a section of the listening comprehension every single day, and listen to it, trying to answer the accompanying questions. Section D of the junior cert is the longest section, but should not be ignored. Take a look at some of our sample Junior Cert revision notes https://frenchnotes.ie/free-junior-cert/
- SPEAKING While a lot of students at Junior Cert level will not have to do the oral exam, it is a huge chunk of the leaving cert. 20-25% of your total marks will depend on a 12-15 minute performance, so you have to make every minute count! On the website, we have over 60 clips designed and spoken by a state examiner. We have divided the clips into 10 videos, which cover you for typical questions which WILL be asked. Watch these videos, and then jot down your own responses to fit your specific experience.
- WRITING a lot of students ask me how to write French, and I take the analogy of driving. The only way to learn how to drive is by driving, albeit with an instructor for the first few months. Writing for the leaving cert requires dedication and commitment. You must take yourself out of your comfort zone, and begin. You are not expected to come up with revolutionary ideas, or be expected to quote facts and figures. At leaving cert level, you are however expected to have an opinion, and to be able to express it, using correct French. At Junior cert level, practice writing notes, postcards and letters. Our website contains sample writing pieces, which you can check off against your own work, and take the odd phrase which will help your own technique. At Leaving Cert level, we have quite advanced sample written pieces, but you will also find more than 500 sample sentences on a wide range of issues. Practicing sample sentences is always a good place to start. Please refer to our blog entry on how to incorporate generic phrases into opinion pieces. https://frenchnotes.ie/generic-phrases-for-opinion-pieces/
- VOCABULARY Take the time to learn a few new words on a given topic every day. We have vocabulary lists on the website, with accompanying tests, so that you can print the list, learn it and then check whether or not you really know the words. Take a look at some of our free sample resources to get you started with vocabulary lists. https://frenchnotes.ie/free-leaving-cert/
- EXPRESSIONS À LA FRANÇAISE! For the diary entry and narrative writing, a nice turn of expression adds richness to your writing. The key here is not to overdo it! Frenchnotes.ie contains a host of written expressions, and constructions to help you develop a grammatically flawless writing technique.
Bonne Chance et bonne continuation pour 2019!

Keyword stuffing can result from jamming as many of the keywords into the page's informational copy as possible. The copy reads like a string of keywords and little else. Another form of keyword stuffing is to pack the word or words as many times as possible into the page title tags. The search engines will often downgrade the page in the search rankings, or perhaps ignore the keywords entirely. Neither result is beneficial to the website. Keyword stuffed doorway pages or cloaked pages are not only examples of keyword overuse, but are also penalty causing items in their own right. The constant and complete usage of the same link anchor text for all inbound links can be considered a form of keyword stuffing as well.
RSS is the format for distributing news and other web content. When you put content into RSS and send that content to other people or websites, it's called a feed.

While the blogger's interest is important it's not enough on it's own to build a popular blog. Another crucial ingredient is that people WANT to read information on the topic you're writing on. The law of Supply and Demand is what most business students are taught in their first semester of of studying economics and it comes into play here also. You might be interested in your topic but unless others are also you'll always have an uphill battle in building a highly read blog.

It can substantially improve employees' ability to achieve their professional goals.
From young professionals starting out their careers to high-level executives, a mentor can be an invaluable source to help you uplevel your experience and grow professionally. But finding a mentor who can help guide you and work with you in a constructive manner can be a challenge.
While some companies have a mentorship program to help facilitate connections between employees looking for a mentor and those looking for a mentee, others may not have a natural path to lean on within their organization.
Working with a mentor can substantially improve employees' ability to achieve their professional goals and foster leadership within the mentors themselves.
So you want to find a mentor, or institute a mentorship program at your company — what do you do next? I got valuable insight from four executives about their experience with mentorship. Below, they share their tips for finding a mentor, creating a partnership, and instituting a program.
1. Focus on personal attributes when looking for a mentor.
"If your company does not offer a formal mentoring program, an informal mentor relationship can be equally as effective," said Cindy Miller, Chief Executive Officer at Stericycle, who stresses the importance of personality traits in a mentor, in addition to their professional experience. "Humility is an important attribute of any mentor as it allows them to be constructive rather than critical in their feedback and empathetic to a variety of situations a mentee may experience," notes Miller. From the mentee's point of view, humility helps to develop trust in their mentor, creating a positive role model for professional and personal growth.
2. Discuss the mutual benefits of mentoring.
Mentorship is a sort of partnership between the mentor and mentee that benefits both, says Ofir Eyal, Chief Operating Officer at Rakuten Viber. The mentee gets the 'secrets of the trade' from the mentor to use for her career advancement not only in her current position but also in future roles. On the other hand, the mentor receives a higher level of loyalty and respect from the mentee, which fuels motivation for both parties. "Mentoring is one of the most impactful tools in the manager's toolbox," shares Eyal.
3. Ensure mentorship programs promote diversity and equality.
"So often it's easy to match a mentor and mentee who are similar in gender, background, or schooling," said Tanya Jansen, co-founder at beqom. "But, it can be more beneficial to the mentor, the mentee, and the company itself to promote mentorship initiatives between pairs of diverse backgrounds. As we continue the push for fairness and equality in our workplaces, mentorship programs can be a vehicle to promote diversity and inclusion through active listening and value sharing, leading our society down a path to pay equality."
4. Find different mentors that contribute to the bigger picture of your ideal leader.
People seeking mentors often make the mistake of searching for that one perfect leader reflecting the ideal picture of a mentee's interests, background, or career aspirations. Unfortunately, it's rare to find such a mentor to pave the way. Jessica O. Matthews, founder and CEO of Uncharted Power poses a more creative solution: "It's important to look more at slices of mentors' lives that can feed into the bigger picture you're trying to build." She adds, "The key is having multiple mentors that add value in very specific ways, and taking on the responsibility of pulling together all their advice to create one cohesive direction for your career."
Finding a mentor, or in some cases multiple mentors, to work with can foster professional development and be a career-changing move, helping aspiring leaders gain new insights and a fresh perspective to grow in their role.

30 beautiful cabinet paint colors for kitchens and baths.
The kitchen is the backbone of daily life as it is the source of food in the houses. Food, in turn, is a very important component of the daily routine that gives the body energy throughout the day. A food cooked or processed in a healthy and beautiful environment becomes more healthy and refreshing. The environment of the food is always a kitchen. A good kitchen can process just as good food.
Kitchen Renovation Contractor is a master in remodeling the kitchen in a very professional manner. There are various factors that keep the budget for the rebuild from a sharp increase financially. The factors need to be controlled not only by the professionals but also the customers who want to renovate. These factors are as follows:
· Fixed budget: Adhering to the budget is the most important task in the renovation process. People tend to change their requirements in the middle of the project. This creates chaos for both the contractor and the customer.
· Reason: The reason includes that whether the owners will use the renovated project or whether it is an investment in resale. It is an intelligent step to fix the budget on figures that ensure a good return on sales.
· Improvement Scale: The improvement scale should depend entirely on the type of locality. A lavish renovation in a middle-class community is not a good step. It will only increase the budget.
· priorities: The renovation should be prioritized carefully and clearly. Priorities should be set based on how important the component is for renovation.
· Payment method: The most preferred method of payment is cash and after that comes home loans. These loans are the second best option as they are deductible.
· Time: The time it takes to complete the project will affect the budget on the basis of how long it will take to renovate as food services will be purchased from the outside. If renovation and housing cannot go hand in hand, it is an additional increase to move to a new location for a short time.
· Maintain: It is a task for a contractor and the customer to keep records of the budget already spent and submitted to spend on the project. It helps facilitate the renovation on a clear budget previously decided.
· Avoid: Customers should avoid the tendency to fall for extra supplements. Renovating the project without them will be favorable to the budget. An extra supplement each time will lead to a mass increase of the financial figures.
· Cost: An earlier estimate of the cost in various areas such as workers, materials used, equipment transported, number of equipment etc.
A kitchen remodeling contractor is an expert on remodeling within the customer's fixed budget. They give the best by thinking about every minute details provided by the customer during the renovation.
