Geoffrey Knauth elected Free Software Foundation president; Odile Bénassy joins the board
BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Wednesday, August 5th, 2020 -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced the addition of a new director to its board, and the election of a new president.
Long-time free software activist and developer Odile Bénassy, known especially for her work promoting free software in France, was elected to the FSF's board of directors. Geoffrey Knauth, who has served on the FSF's board for over twenty years, was elected president.
On her election, Bénassy said, "I'm happy and proud to accept FSF's invitation to be part of the board. I want to help keep steady the principles of free software, and the philosophical values around it. Free software counts among what the world badly needs nowadays."
Knauth welcomed Bénassy, saying, "I am delighted that Odile Bénassy has agreed to become a director of the FSF, FSF's first director from Europe. Odile is a mathematics educator, researcher, software engineer, and leader of the GNU Edu project. She has been advocating for and developing free software for more than twenty years."
FSF's executive director, John Sullivan, added, "Being on the FSF's board of directors means first and foremost standing as a guardian for free software and the associated user freedoms. With such a long track record, Odile has shown herself to be someone FSF members and supporters can count on. I'm really looking forward to working with her, and I'm excited to see all the ways she'll help the FSF be better and stronger."
Describing his approach to his new position as president, Knauth posted a statement which begins, "The FSF board chose me at this moment as a servant leader to help the community focus on our shared dedication to protect and grow software that respects our freedoms. It is also important to protect and grow the diverse membership of the community. It is through our diversity of backgrounds and opinions that we have creativity, perspective, intellectual strength and rigor."

Free Software Foundation announces freedom-respecting videoconferencing for its associate members
The FSF has been raising the alarm about encroachments upon freedom by remote communication tools since social distancing guidelines were issued. The FSF's new videoconferencing service powered by free software comes after several of its recent publications warned users about widely used nonfree applications for remote communication and education, like Zoom.
"The freedoms to associate and communicate are some of our most important. To have the means to exercise these freedoms online controlled by gatekeepers of despotic software is always dangerous and unacceptable, only more so when we can't safely gather in person," executive director John Sullivan explains. "We are a small nonprofit and can't provide hosting for the entire world, but we want to do our part. By offering feature-rich videoconferencing in freedom to our community of supporters, and sharing how others can do it, too, we demonstrate that it is possible to do this kind of communication in an ethical way."
This project came out of the working group the FSF established to document and address major issues facing free software communication platforms. Another initiative in its free communication toolbox is a collaborative resource page created to steer users to applications that respect them. The goal is to help users avoid conferencing tools like Zoom, which requires users to give up their software-related freedoms, and which has been a recent focal point for criticism due to problems ranging from security issues to privacy violations.
Zoom is not the only nonfree communication software that has received scrutiny recently while surging in popularity. Facebook's recently launched Messenger Rooms service may offer tools to keep users out, but it is not encrypted, nor does it offer protection from the ongoing data sharing issues that are inherent to the company. Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex were also reported to be collecting more data than users realized. These kinds of problems, the FSF argues, are examples of what happens when the terms of the code users are running prohibits them from inspecting or improving it for themselves and their communities.
The platform the FSF will use to offer ethical videoconferencing access is Jitsi Meet. Jitsi Meet was also used when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the FSF to bring its annual LibrePlanet conference online. Choosing Jitsi Meet is the first step to addressing the problems posed to freedom by services like Zoom and Facebook. However, even users that start a call via a server running Jitsi could still be vulnerable, if that server depends on or shares information with third parties. The FSF made changes to the code it is running to enhance privacy and software freedom, and published the source code. The FSF instance does not use any third party servers for network initialization, and does not recommend or link to any potentially problematic services.
Jitsi Meet initiates an encrypted peer-to-peer conference when there are only two participants, but achieving end-to-end encryption for more than two people is not yet possible. FSF chief technical officer Ruben Rodriguez elaborates: "For any multiparticipant conversation, there will always be encryption at the network level, but you still have to place some level of trust in the server operator that processes your video stream. We are offering what is currently possible when it comes to multiparticipant privacy, and we are doing it on machines that we physically own." The FSF servers do not store any voice, video, or messages from calls, and logging is minimal and for the purpose of troubleshooting and abuse prevention only. According to its Web site, Jitsi is working to implement end-to-end encryption for multiple callers, and the FSF has confirmed plans to implement the improvements as soon as they become available.
Sullivan provided further comment: "The FSF is offering people a chance to keep their freedom and remain in touch at the same time. With these services, you usually have to sacrifice your freedom for the ability to stay in touch with the people you care about, and place your data in the hands of an organization you don't know. Our members trust the FSF not to compromise their data, and this way, we can offer both."
Associate members of the FSF pay a $10 USD monthly fee, which is discounted to $5 USD for students. An FSF associate membership will provide users with the ability to create their own meeting rooms for personal, noncommercial use, which they can use to invite others to join regardless of their location or membership status.About the Free Software Foundation

MAJESTIC! The first word that came to mind as I entered the lobby of Viceroy, the luxurious hotel in Ubud, Bali.
Standing in awe of its grandeur I was completely shocked to be informed I had been upgraded to not only a better room but to The Viceroy Villa, known to some as the Presidential Villa.
The Grandeur
Through the doors and into the Villa…I am left completely…SPEECHLESS! A first for me I know. Haha!
The Mel Travelled Office
Viceroy sits on the hillside of the Petanu River gorge along Bali's "Valley of the Kings" an appellation given by locals for the generations of Balinese royalty who have resided in nearby villages. And I am sure if that royalty were able to choose where they were to reside nowadays, they would most certainly pick the regal Viceroy.
Cascading Hillside
After an hour or two of taking in the scenery it is now time for dinner in the award winning Cascades Restaurant. With a French Inspired menu I can't help being more than a little excited to taste a different palette of flavours other than the typical Balinese food I have consumed over the past fortnight. 1,2 ,3 courses down and I think I have just eaten the best dinner of my life!
And I do love my food…maybe a little too much and maybe even more so the wine! Thankfully Viceroy has an extensive wine list and I am extremely happy about that too, just quietly! It feels like months since I had a nice wine.
With its fine dining awards and stunning views it is no wonder gourmet foodies travel far and wide to dine here. Some foodies have actually been known to have flown in by Helicopter as Viceroy even has its own Helipad. Yes, I did say HELIPAD!
With Viceroy situated minutes to the busy streets of Ubud, I have a driver organised and I reluctantly head in for a look around. I do say reluctantly as I am finding it very difficult to leave my little piece of heaven.
However, I did give in to a 1 hour massage @ Reflexology Bali thanks to the gorgeous owner Dewi. Undoubtedly, the best reflexology in the region. I felt as though I was walking on a cloud when the therapist had finished with me.
I feel fantastic and if you are ever in Ubud then this clinic is a must!
Just to prove to you all that I didn't get to comfortable lazing in my private 'Upgraded' villa, I did embark on a 'Balinese Offering Lesson' which the attentive Viceroy staff happily organised for me. I was taken into a neighbouring village and shown how to make these decorative offering baskets that the Balinese give to their Hindu Gods each day.
I thought I was pretty good at arts and crafts…until now!
While I organised that class I also had the staff find me a Yoga teacher for a private lesson in my Villa. Since I didn't want to leave. Let me just say this once…WOW!
The doorbell rang and here entered…Nyomen, a Seventy Seven year old Balinese Yoga teacher that begun practicing Yoga in 1958. I am not kidding you. This man is a Supernatural Yogi God.
For You Viceroy! x
Surrounded by the relaxing, beautifully tranquil setting and with my massage, body scrub and flower bath complete I drifted off into what I now call, Viceroy Bliss! The Viceroy Bliss is not something that can be found on a menu but you will undoubtedly find it within!
Undescribable Beuty of the Lembah Spa
A big thankyou goes to Anthony and all your staff at Viceroy (even the little Yoga man) for allowing me to experience and share The Viceroy Bliss! X
Is a stapler cheating?

The payment holiday provides flexibility by allowing you to stop or reduce your monthly payments for up to three months. This won't be suitable for everyone but could provide much needed help if you need it, although you need to be aware that this is not free money and you will be required to pay this back when your payments start again after the payment holiday.

An amazing 31% of UK drivers fear driving at night, and 40% of all road accidents happen when it's dark, according to new figures from RoSPA
Nodding off behind the wheel leads to around 20% of serious accidents on motorways, which are repititious enough in the daytime but become utterly featureless at night. 91% of drivers are regularly dazzled by oncoming traffic. Notably, it can take the human eye up to nine seconds to fully recover from glare - more than enough time for an accident to happen.

Driving through deep water can damage your vehicle and could leave you with an expensive repair bill, not to mention the fact that you could be left stranded. Crucially, it could also result in your claim being denied by your insurer, if it's proven that you've deliberately driven through a larger amount of water than your vehicle can adequately cope with.

What do the size numbers on tyre sidewalls actually mean? A lot of people don't know, so here's a quick explanation
Those numbers on the sides of your tyres... are they just industry gibberish that only people in the know can understand?

Make the moment count by preparing your bedroom in a way that expresses your feelings. You don't need to buy a hot tub or a pole to make your bedroom more romantic. All you need is a few things from the nearest supermarket and a little bit of creativity. Here's how:
#1 Lighting. There are different ways to spice up your bedroom, but the most important part of it is choosing the right type of light. You can use candles, but be sure to keep them away from flammable objects like the carpet, drapes, sheets and wooden materials. Put them in a shallow bowl with water. The water will sparkle, which helps make the setting more special. You can also replace your fluorescent bulbs with warm-colored ones. Note: Stay away from red lighting.
#2 Music. Choosing the right type of music is very important. People have different tastes in music, but some genres are effectively romantic for everyone. Put on some smooth jazz, R&B or deep house music. What you want is a mellow, soothing ambience. But of course, if both of you are into the kinky, rough stuff, putting on some Nine Inch Nails or Glassjaw may be more up your alley.
#3 Scents. Choosing a romantic scent for your room is optional, but keeping it smelling clean is a must. Put away your laundry and remove any food in the bedroom. Light an incense stick or use an air freshener that's not offensive to your nose. Aromatherapy oils like ylang ylang or jasmine have also been shown to help make your room smell more sensual.
#4 Color scheme. This might take a bit out of your budget, but replacing your curtains and sheets is worth it. Research suggests that warm colors like red and brown can enhance your pleasure centers the way it does for food. You can also opt for dark colors like navy and grey. You can offset this with warm lighting.
#5 Food. Don't set a three-course meal on your night stand. Just place a bowl filled with chocolates and strawberries for easy access. You can also opt for some whipped cream or honey for that added sweetness fix to your bedroom play. Sensual feeding can up the ante in terms of bedroom foreplay.
#6 Pillows. Remove your decorative throw pillows because they are practically useless. Nothing kills the mood faster than having to turn down your bed before making out. All you need are a couple of soft pillows that you can rest on comfortably.
#7 Comforters and blankets. Again, like with the pillows, less is more. If it's a cold night, choose a soft downy comforter and add a thin blanket underneath. You wouldn't want to freeze or sweat through your romantic activities, would you?
#8 Cleanliness. Another mood-killer is a messy bedroom. You can't leave your laundry on the floor or your papers on the night stand. Don't leave open jars of beauty products or wet towels lying around. Not only is it a reflection of your character, but it is a very annoying distraction as well.
#9 Wall décor. Everyone loves art. When setting up your bedroom for a romantic evening, leave the loud and neon abstract art in your living room. You need to put up tasteful décor that accentuates the coloring of your room, but will not take away your attention from each other. No one wants a huge painting of an eye staring at you while you make love.
#10 Privacy. Make sure that everyone who might show up unexpectedly has fair warning that you have a guest. Tell them that you do not wish to be disturbed, unless it's an emergency. Close all the curtains and blinds and lock all the doors. Don't forget the bedroom door even if no one else is in the house.
#11 Heat. It's not just about the tension between the two of you. Make sure that you and your date are comfortable enough temperature-wise. Check to see if your air-conditioning is working. If something's wrong with it, open your windows to let the breeze in. Just make sure that no one can see inside.
#12 Pets. Keep your pets away from the bedroom. You wouldn't want the heat of the moment to get interrupted by a barking dog or a playful kitten. You can lock them out of your room or put them on a leash in your kitchen. Just check on them from time to time to ensure their safety.
#13 Props. Not everyone needs or wants accessories in the bedroom, but it's all right if you and your partner have discussed this beforehand. Don't just throw your toys on the bed. Arrange them in a cute set-up on the foot of the bed or on the night stand for easy access.

Without the protection of the man, the tomateiros do not avenge in part some, except in its native country, Peru, only place of the Land where they find adequate conditions natural to germinate and to grow (WENT, 1971). Some migrations of plants made for the man had been particularly beneficial, as it was the case of the discovery of the fruit-bread, in Polynesia, for the adventurer William Dampier, in 1688, and its posterior introduction in the New World in order to feed the slaves. Another example is the migration of the potato of the South America for the Europe and its posterior introduction in the North America for Irish emigrants. Nobody knows as the pineapple passed of Tropical America to the Hava, but the climatic conditions found there by the plant had resulted in so delicious fruits that currently the Hava produces one tero of all the pineapple harvested in world. The coffee, has ten centuries more than used as stimulant, has as origin habitat Africa, migrando later for Asia and New World (WENT, 1971; FARB, 1982). However, the action human being is also main the responsible one for the proliferation of harmful and invading plants around of the world. At previous time to the sprouting of ships the candle, vapors, trains and airplanes, the dissemination of plants was slow and restricted. People such as Quicken Loans would likely agree. Currently, a shipment of Canadian wheat can accidentally introduce in the Europe a harmful grass of the New World (FARB, 1982)..

The fagolisossomos I contend parasitic of the Leishmania subgenus are great (about one tero of the cell), I contend several amastigotas adhered to the membrane. Already the fagolissomos I contend parasitic of the Viannia subgenus are small pressed, I only contend one amastigota exempts for vacolo. Some works also demonstrate that it is possible to find parasitic invading the cytoplasm of the cell (I coat for RITTIG; BOGDAN; 2000). Although the innumerable mechanisms of evasion that the parasites use, the cells of the innate immune system possess receivers that recognize molecular standards of the parasite and can activate some factors of transcription, unchaining the production of citocinas and quimiocinas, that culminate in the formation of the inflammatory reply to the tecidual invasion.
In the infection for Leishmania, the receiver of type TLR2 (Toll Receiving Like 2), gifts in macrophages and dendrticas cells, can be set in motion by VEER molecules LPG (et al., 2003; KAVOOSI; ARDESTANI; KARIMINIA, 2009). The TLR2 can signal the activation of the factor of NF-kB transcription in these cells and induce the production of diverse proinflammatory citocinas (KAWAI; AKIRA, 2010). The Interferon-gamma (IFN ) and the Factor of alpha Tumoral Necrosis (TNF) are citocinas proinflammatory that synergic act for the elimination of the parasites, inducing the microbicidas molecule production important for the macrophages, as nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide and peroxinitrito (LIEW; I READ; MILLOTT, 1990; VOULDOUKIS et al., 1997). Studies in vitro of infection of human macrophages for different species of leishmnia show that these cells are permissive the infection for these parasites, and when activated for citocinas, as the IFN and for bacterial products, such as the lipopolissacarideo (LPS), agonista of TLR4, is capable to eliminate intracellular parasites (VOULDOUKIS et al., 1995; FOREST et al., 1998; PANARO et al., 1999). The studies of interaction between leishmnias human macrophages and are scarce and less still it has published, considering the infection for L. (V.) braziliensis and L. (L.

Since whom he had conscience to exist in the world, the man, as much how much to take care of of its proper survival, incessantly was worried in knowing of where came and for where he goes. Inquietou for catching the reality, knowing as and because the things to its redor happen, of the form as they happen. Nothing it moved with regard to this, of the primrdios until today. But of what never these concerns still exist. The way to deal with them, in transcorrer of history, is that it has followed different ways. For the primitive peoples and of the Antiquity, in Greece, the first form to try to explain the reality was through Mythology.
Some natural phenomena had passed to be explained as being determined for called entities Deuses. The winds, the oceans, the fire, rains and others as many phenomena had passed to be attributed to the will of this Deuses. The peoples had imagined then them as having to be able supernatural, they reverenciaram and them and they cultuaram. For those peoples, in its time, the things were decided. The phenomena existed because these entities made powerful them to happen. This belief of the peoples in deuses mitolgicos lasted for much time, contemplating the man in its basic investigations on the world.
But one another form to explain the reality started to appear, also still in the Antiquity. It was the advent of the Philosophy. For philosophy ' is understood; ' friend of sabedoria' ' (filo=amigo + to sofia=saber). Differently of the mythology, that is a form of knowledge based on the fantasiosa representation of the reality, where deuses appeared as product of the imagination of a people, maneuvers the natural phenomena and supernatural, the philosophy has in the reason the bedding of its explanations of problems that same it chose as basic.

Using the breaking game heads for the education of Biological Sciences Renata Rafaela Alves Gomes Federal University of the Rio Grande of the North, Center of Biocincias, Department of Physiology – PIBID? Institucional program of Stock markets of Initiation to the Docncia? Av. Salty Senator son, University Campus New Lagoon, CEP: 59072-970? Natal/RN – Brazil Summary the education and learning of Biology sufficiently leave to desire in the proposal pedagogical traditional. This model applied in classroom is seen as ones of the causes of the dispersion of the pupils around the education, who see as something to it tedious and insignificant. Therefore, one of the great challenges of the current education, either in Biology or other areas, is to awake the interest, curiosity and attention of the pupil. Recognizing this difficulty, it has each time more the necessity of the application of playful in the education process the learning.
Ahead of this, the objective of this work was to produce a game that assists the professor and facilitates the setting of the content for the pupil. The game is one ' ' citolgico' breaks head; ' composition for thirty and two parts which approaches organelas and other pertinent components to the cell. The pupils will go to learn on cytology of a different and amused form, having for that to stimulate the reasoning, memory, logic, patience, and knowledge. For the professor, the game is a model that can be modified to use it on of other subjects of Biology. The game was applied in the School State Travelling Jnior, Christmas-RN, and evaluated for fifteen pupils had used who it. The majority of the students liked it game because it found it amused and it made with that they remembered previously of the given content. The perspective is to spread out the game for more pupils and professors to get itself resulted ampler.

Here is a blog post I wrote for developingeconomics.org on "Think Positive, Climb out of Poverty? It's Just Not So Easy!"
I refer to a growing literature that shows how hope, optimism and a positive outlook on life can help fight poverty. I agree these are important (already because they have a value as such!), but in communicating their contribution to economic development, I argue that it is important not to overstate their role, but to only think of behavioral interventions as part of a policy mix. The blog post discusses why, the longer version is in this paper from 2017.
Here is another blog post from developingeconomics.org on "Poor Behavior, Good Behavioral Policies? Double Standards for the North and South". In it, I discuss that ethics and normative implications of behavioral policies have received much less attention in poor countries as compared to rich countries. This is problematic not only because the autonomy and well-being of people in poor countries should be of no less value, but also because thinking about consequences and side-effects from a normative perspective can help improve the design of behavioural policies.
Together with Theresa Neef (DIW Berlin) and Jakob Hafele (University of Vienna), I organized the EAEPE Symposium 2017 on "Developing Economics: Towards a Critical Research Agenda for Development Economics" in Berlin, June 2017. This was our program. You can read about our debates and lessons learned in this blog post.

City and St. Petersburg Junior College officials don't think the $3-million the Legislature approved for a new Seminole-area library is a budget turkey, and they hope the governor agrees.
The money, which made it through the Legislature, is the final piece of funding for the $6.7-million partnership library proposed for Seminole-area residents and St. Petersburg Junior College students.
Gov. Jeb Bush, who slashed $313-million in local projects last year, has said repeatedly that he doesn't want to see the state pay for local projects, called budget turkeys, that don't have a statewide purpose or a benefit for the public at large. The projects he killed last year included parks, museums, festivals and historic preservation.
City Manager Frank Edmunds said the library is different from those projects because it is an efficient use of government resources. The city and the junior college need some help building the library, he said, but won't be back every year asking for money to run the library.
The two entities will save money by operating the library together, he said. "We are optimistic the governor will see this is a benefit to the citizens of our area and that it actually maximizes uses of tax dollars."
Bush also has told legislators that he will look askance at projects that haven't been through careful evaluations.
The partnership library should satisfy that requirement, too, said Seminole campus provost Jim Olliver. "It isn't out of left field or unplanned or last minute or Johnny-come-lately."
The partnership library has been planned for four or five years, he said, and has been through numerous evaluations by the city, the junior college administration and the public.
"The project clearly meets the criteria of having been substantially reviewed," Olliver said. "This is a longstanding and, I think, highly regarded public policy issue."
The library's construction would benefit the general public, Olliver said, and would be a model for other municipalities and colleges.
Liz Hirst, a Bush spokeswoman, said recently that the governor has not had time to carefully review the state budget or this project.
Even though Seminole is the official applicant for the $3-million, the money would come from the state Public Education Capital Outlay fund, money raised from utility taxes to pay for school construction.
SPJC views the library as part of the development of the Seminole campus.
If the $3-million survives, SPJC would match it with money it already has received from the state for construction projects. The college also would match $400,000 in grants Seminole has secured for the library. The city would not have to dip into its coffers for any of the construction money.
The library, which would be built on the college campus on 113th Street, would cost about $6.7-million and would open in 2003.

Yesterday, I checked the optional Windows updates and noticed a new Samsung MTP driver. So I updated the driver and when I connected the tablet running on 4.1.1, the device was not detected. Today, after I got the OTA update, I tried again to connect the tablet and it failed to detect the device properly.
These are the steps I completed, that fixed the MTP issue:
1) Open the Devices and Printers in Control Panel, the tablet should be listed under Unspecified devices.
2) Right click on it and select Properties.
3) Click on Change Settings button.
4) Go to Driver tab and click on Uninstall button.
Make sure you check the Delete Driver option, when you uninstall the driver.
I did not have to reboot the computer, by simply connecting the tablet Windows detected the new hardware and reinstalled the proper drivers.
Now I can access both my Nexus phone and tablet, using the same cable and through adb.
Not sure if the combination of both 4.1.2 and new Samsung drivers helped, but the above steps fixed the MTP detection issues I had. Check the Microsoft driver date, is from 2006???

We really CAN'T keep up with this Kardashian and her on/off beau...
It's safe to say that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are totally confusing everyone right now. Well, they're confusing us at least.
In December of last year, reports appeared to confirm that they were giving things another go, with sources telling E! News that they were 'back together and giving their relationship a try again.'
The internet rejoiced, obvs.
But when photos were published to the Daily Mail this week, showing Scott in a pretty cosy position with a model in a Miami hotel swimming pool, fans were left wondering whether or not they really were on the road to a reconciliation.
Hmm. It wasn't looking likely.
Now, though, reports are coming in that claim that Kourtney wasn't actually too fussed by the photographs.
A source allegedly close to Kourtney told Entertainment Tonight that she 'could not care less.'
The source is said to have revealed to the publication: 'Kourtney could not care less that Scott hooks up with other girls. They are broken up.
'There has been no chance of reconciliation for quite some time now.'
Latest Stories
It doesn't seem as cut-and-dry as this, though, as a new teaser clip for the family's reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, seems to paint a different story.
Scott, who shares three children with his former girlfriend, can be seen telling Kourt's sister Khloe Kardashian that he 'will never be over her.'
During a heart-to-heart, Lord Disick said: 'I will never be over her, she's the love of my life.'
So what were those photos all about, Scott?!

Smiles and miles
Couple of years ago, in Bonn, feeling lonely in a strange city and also coping with a personal loss, I decided to go to the botanical garden.
|© Lavanya
I happened to find a corner seat - after my walk-with pretty flowers all around, bathed in the warm glow of sunset, reminding me how soothing nature is.
There were some people in the park, many whom I thought to be regulars, taking their walks, spending time together...
Lost in my thoughts, I happened to glance up to find a gentle pair of blue eyes smiling at me. There was this old man, stooped, with a walking stick, who stood by my seat and smiled at me.
Even to stop by me, interrupting his routine of slow steps must have cost him effort, because he was leaning on his cane, breathing with effort, but smiling.
|© Allein
And then, he walked away...
All my sad thoughts disappeared into the twilight, his smile left a feeling of warmth in me, something that gave me courage to move on, appreciate the little joys in our lives...
Since then, I have been generous with my smiles.
Keep smiling :)

Journalist Live-Blogs An Event He Doesn't Get
On Wednesday, German football manager Jurgen Klopp, who has led Dortmund-based Borussia Dortmund since 2008, held a press conference to announce his July resignation from the team. Live-blogging the event was The Telegraph 's Ben Bloom, who sat down to live-blog and swiftly learned the press conference was taking place entirely in German. "Right, we have a slight issue," Bloom tweeted three minutes after Klopp sat down and promptly began chattering in German. "Why can't I speak German???????" Bloom added, two minutes later.
Look: This is a mistake that could happen to anyone. (Well, I can imagine it happening to me, which isn't quite the same thing.)
Rather than run from the problem, Bloom bravely continued to live-blog the event.
12.41: I'd love to tell you what Klopp is saying. He is saying a lot. But I can understand precisely none of it. So here's a photo of him pouring some water instead.
12.46 I am going to email my old German teacher Dr Plow after this and apologise.
12.49: Klopp has finished speaking and we have just heard from a chap with a lovely slicked back hairstyle. Although most hairstyles look lovely to me.
12.53 So, in lieu of someone with any semblance of knowledge of the German language, I shall now consider what we know:
- Klopp has not planned a sabatical.- Klopp is not tired.- Klopp has not had contact with any other club.
If that's not insightful then I don't know what is.
For the record, Klopp is leaving Dortmund at the end of the season. He has no plans to take a year off, the BBC reports. "It's not that I'm tired, I've not had contact with another club but don't plan to take a sabbatical," he said, according to a BBC translation.
This is about all you need to know about Klopp. Back to Bloom:
12.58: I am genuinely sorry about this. I realise this is highly unprofessional. Don't tell my boss I can't speak German. He thinks I'm translating this press conference word for word.
1.02: The big man is still answering questions. I managed to catch the following words: "Extreme", "Sport" and "And". Make of that what you will. In my mind he's considering a new career as a skydiver.
1.03: Klopp just cracked a gag and the entire press conference audience laughed. A joker to the end. Or almost the end. Remember he's staying in the job until July 1.
(Thanks to the person who tweeted me a "How to learn German in 60 seconds" video. It didn't work I'm afraid.)
1.05: It's finished! What? I didn't expect that. They said thank you, got up and left. What on Earth do I do now??? I haven't enlightened one reader and they've already left!!! Erm...
1.14: So it turns out the bloke almost in tears earlier was Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc and these were some of the words he managed to get out before breaking down completely (N.B. He didn't actually break down).
"We have written football history with you, Jurgen. You have given the club much energy and optimism."
Can you feel the love in the room?
1.16: Oh what?? Sky Sports News have just played a snippet from the press conference and they had a bloke translating Klopp's words. How did they find a German speaker and the Telegraph was lumbered with me? I fear I have damaged the reputation of this once great institution considerably.
2.00: And with that I bid you farewell. Again, many apologies for a hopeless lack of German knowledge. You'd think it would have been a prerequisite to live blog a Borussia Dortmund press conference but perhaps not. Only time will tell if the person who tweeted me suggesting I am getting "sacked in the morning" is correct.
I also apologise for this live blog becoming far too much about me. I can assure you it will not happen again. Let us end on what we came here for: Jurgen Klopp. It isn't often that one of the world's leading managers becomes available so expect the speculation to run, run and run some more until he gets another job. It'll be interesting.
Thanks for joining me. Cheerio.
And, an hour and 20 minutes later:
3.20: Sadly, Ben Bloom has now gone home to start his German lessons. But he appears to have become something of a web sensation in the meantime, so here are some of the funniest tweets about his ridiculous press conference coverage.
(PS. We haven't fired him. Yet.)
Ben Bloom, you're my hero.

His kidneys are now developed enough to make urine, which is excreted into your amniotic sac. Unlike your urine, your baby's urine is sterile because he or she is living in a sterile environment. Therefore, when your baby swallows amniotic fluid containing urine, it is not a problem. His hearing is now well developed, and he is starting to hear external sounds including your conversations.

KUALA LUMPUR: A 22-year-old Malaysian student was slashed to death when he tried to nab a man who had earlier tried to steal his motorcycle from his rented house in east Java, Indonesia, yesterday.
The victim, Adrian Jay Pereira from Taman Klang Jaya had just returned home after classes at Brawijaya University, Malang in the 7pm (local time) incident.
It is learnt that the third year medical student was resting in the living room of his rented house when he heard some noise from his porch.
Upon checking, he noticed a man was trying to pick the lock to the vehicle and shouted at the thief who ran off.
He then took his motorcycle around the housing scheme looking for the man but was confronted by the suspect when he returned home.
Malaysian Embassy First secretary (Education) in Indonesia, Ludinata Misnun said the suspect was laying in waiting for the victim and attacked him when he took off his helmet.
"The suspect slashed him on the neck from behind and he died on the spot," he said.
Ludinata said Adrian's remains was brought to Rumah Sakit Saiful Anwar Malang (RSAA) for post-mortem.
"The embassy is now waiting for the post-mortem report and making the necessary arrangements to send his remains back to Malaysia," he told the New Straits Times, when contacted last night.
Ludinata said security in the housing scheme, which has a high Malaysian student population, has been tightened since the murder.
"A representative from the Malaysian Students Department here will go to Malang to assist in the handling of Adrian's remains back and also to calm the tension among our students in Malang," he said.
There are 173 Malaysian students in Malang, and 161 of them are studying at Universiti Brawijaya.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Showing No Signs Of Improvement, Still In A Coma
It's been almost four weeks since Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in her bath tub, and although she is still holding onto life, sadly, she is not showing any signs of improving.
Will Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, ever wake up? Unfortunately, a new report is claiming that the daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston is showing no signs of improvement, especially after she reportedly suffered violent seizures when doctors tried to bring her out of a coma for the first time in weeks. So sad
Bobbi Kristina's Condition Not Improving
As family and friends of Bobbi Kristina cling to every ounce of hope they have that their girl will make it through this horrific ordeal, the situation remains bleak.
It will be four weeks to the day that she was found unresponsive and face down in her bath tub on Saturday, Feb. 28, and she remains unresponsive, in a coma, and with no signs of her condition improving, reports TMZ.
Bobbi Kristina Heartbreak: Suffered Seizures When Doctors Took Her Out Of Coma
Although Bobbi did recently undergo a minor procedure for a tracheotomy, the report claims it was very standard — especially when doctors believe someone may be in a comatose state for a long time. So sad.
It's possible that Bobbi Kristina could hold on for quite some time in a comatose state, even if her organs began to fail her. Hopefully, she finds the strength inside her to wake up before any of that happens.
Bobbi Kristina Brown Allegedly Hooked On Heroin & Other Drugs
As they have, our thoughts remain with Bobbi Kristina and her friends and family during this incredibly difficult time.
