ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jo Adell hit a grand slam, Shohei Ohtani scored the go-ahead run on a bases-loaded walk, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 Sunday despite blowing a six-run, first-inning lead.
Adell greeted reliever Travis Lakins Sr. with his second career slam to make it 6-0 before the Orioles recorded an out. Lakins got the next nine outs without allowing a hit, giving Baltimore an opportunity to rally.
Trey Mancini hit a three-run homer in the third inning and Austin Hays tied it with a two-run homer in the seventh as the Orioles sought their first three-game sweep of the Angels since 2010.
Ohtani led off the bottom half of the inning with a single off Mike Baumann (1-2), who then loaded the bases with a walk and a hit batter. Taylor Ward worked a full count against Félix Bautista before drawing a walk on the ninth pitch of the at-bat.
Austin Warren (2-0) allowed Hays' tying homer. Jimmy Herget worked a scoreless eighth before Trey Mancini started the ninth with a single. Archie Bradley came on to get a strikeout and a double-play grounder from Ryan Mountcastle to secure his first save with the Angels.
Baltimore starter Chris Ellis faced five batters — walking three, hitting one with a pitch and allowing one hit — before departing with right shoulder discomfort. He was charged with five runs as the Angels scored six times in the first inning for the second time in four games.
Adell drove a down-and-away cutter from Lakins over the wall in right-center for his grand slam. He is 7 for 19 during a five-game hitting streak. The 23-year-old outfielder went 0 for 9 in LA's season-opening series against Houston but has hits in nine of his last 11 games, including three homers.
BOUNCING BACK
Ohtani went 2 for 4 with a walk after going 0 for 8 with five strikeouts in the first two games against Baltimore. The AL MVP raised his batting average 18 points to .224.
FOR STARTERS
Angels left-hander José Suarez has made three starts and worked 4 1/3 innings in each. He allowed three runs on four hits and struck out six.
Angels: OF Brandon Marsh was scratched with a stomach bug. … 2B David Fletcher (left hip strain) has been medically cleared to return. Fletcher played nine innings Sunday in his third game of a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Orioles: Begin a three-game series in New York against the Yankees Monday night. RHP Jordan Lyles (1-1, 3.52 ERA) has given up one earned run in 10 1/3 innings over his last two starts.
Angels: Continue their homestand with four games against Cleveland. RHP Michael Lorenzen (1-1, 4.82 ERA) gets the call Monday night.

When I trained for my first ultramarathon (the American River 50 Mile Endurance Run) over the winter of 2015-16, I had an Achilles tendon injury that prevented me from doing any training that was faster than marathon pace, give or take. Fortunately, I had no limitations on how far I could run, and took full advantage of this freedom by completing individual training runs of up to 37 miles.
When I arrived at the start line of AMR50 on April 2nd, I was definitely fit, but not as fit as I would like to have been. A crucial piece was missing; my legs felt the lack of faster running in a way that's hard to define. This feeling was validated not only by the ensuing race, in which my performance was humdrum, but in my next ultra, which I won following an injury-free buildup that including regular doses of moderate- and high-intensity work.
Many ultrarunners voluntarily eschew such work, having little taste for it and assuming it makes no significant contribution to success in low-intensity races that require many hours to complete. But a recent study says otherwise, further validating my experiential sense that fast running is a vital component of effective ultramarathon training.
Conducted by Spanish scientists and published in the European Journal of Sport Science, the study involved 20 "ultra-endurance runners" with an average age of 40 years. For 12 weeks, half of these subjects followed a "threshold" training program in which two-thirds of total training time was spent at low intensity and the remaining one-third at moderate intensity (i.e., roughly lactate threshold intensity), while the other half followed a "polarized" training program with an equal overall workload but in which 80 percent of total training time was spent at low intensity and 20 percent at high intensity. Both groups lost body fat during the 12-week training period, but only the polarized group showed improvements in running economy and in running time to exhaustion.
Do we conclude from these findings that ultrarunners should never do any training at moderate intensity? Of course not. The purpose of the study was to compare the contributions of moderate- and high-intensity running to fitness development within the context of a mostly low-intensity training program, not to identify the optimal way to train for ultramarathons in the real world. But what we can conclude from the study is that ultrarunners should do a significant amount of training at high intensity.
If this finding seems counterintuitive to you, it's probably because you don't fully understand how high-intensity training works. The purpose of doing fast workouts is not, in fact, to get faster. Rather, it is to enable you to use more of the speed you already have in races, regardless of distance. High-intensity running does this in a variety of ways, including by increasing aerobic capacity, improving running economy, and even elevating pain tolerance. You only have one body, and it is this one body that is altered by any sort of training you do. Thus, even though a set of hard intervals on the track doesn't look much like a 100-kilometer trail run, it will help you perform better in such a race by altering your body in beneficial ways that complement the benefits of longer, slower training runs.
This is why the 80/20 ultramarathon plans that I've just created for TrainingPeaks include speed work—not a ton, to be sure, but enough to give you better results than you would get from a training plan that did not require you to test your higher gears. There are eight plans in total: four levels each for 50 miles/100K and for 100 miles. Check 'em out!

SUNSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE. Hell yes. Best sci-fi movie in years and just a LITTLE above Moon. God, I love when others love that movie as much as me.
Indeed!!!! Sunshine is f-ing incredible. I know a lot of people who dislike the film because of the ending sequence, but I think it's pure brilliance. Glad you love it as much as I do :).
Thanks! Happy to hear you enjoyed it :). Any film in particular that gets to you?
I've still yet to see Up, need to check it out. Leon and Rocky are insanely awesome, absolute classics!
"Gorgeous" is a great way to sum up these films, nice job! Glad you liked the list :). Been a while since I've seen you round these parts. How've you been?
I've wanted to see Melancholia for a while now, even though the only other von Trier I've seen (Antichrist), I've hated. So happy to see Another Earth on here!
I love Trier and all his films! Melancholia really isn't anything like Antichrist so you may dig that one a lot more. Another Earth is phenomenal!
Oddly enough, I want to watch Antichrist again. I don't know why.
Another Earth and Take Shelter were two of my favorites from 2011. Good, good stuff.
Both are also two of my favs from 2011. I feel Take Shelter is easily the best film released that year.
I've yet to give it the rewatch I want to. I need to think about that ending.
Are you also a fan of Malick flicks? Living for such moments is a perfect way to describe it. I love witnessing those epic sequences that just work their way into your mind forever :).
While I have only seen six of the films you mention I totally get what you are talking about with the goosebump effect.
Yeah, it is a pretty universally cinematic effect and when it happens, there is nothing quite like it :).
Great list! I LOVED Tree of Life. 127 Hours turned me into a weepy, sobbing mess when I first saw it. Such a powerful movie.
Thanks! Tree of Life is fantastic! I first saw 127 Hours at TIFF and Aron Ralston was at the screening along with Boyle, Franco, Mara, and crew. It made the film so much more powerful. I essentially cry like a baby as well whenever I watch it :).
That must've been so cool. Big fan of all of them.
Great list. 🙂 I love the music in Sunshine… Underrated film.
Thank you! Very underrated film and has one of the best soundtracks ever!
Nice list and not surprising to see a couple of Malick films there. I started watching Another Earth on Netflix but never got to finsih it.
Thanks! Did you not finish cause you didn't like it?
No because I forgot about it. I was about half way. I was really confused as how the second earth moved so close to the original earth. I need to know why.
Alright. Well, the explanation, as I understood it, there was a tear between parallel universes and Earth 2 crossed over to our universe.
Oh, so it continued to get closer to our earth?
Because in the beginning they discover the second earth and it was pretty far away. 20 minutes into the film it was as close as the moon.
I guess LOL. It might be an inconsistency you'll have to overlook :).

Perhaps I took things a bit far to try and get records in three states in two days. Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment...sometimes, I just don't know.
Approaching Louisville from the south, I thought I'd stop in Elizabethtown first. My long commute from the Gulf of Mexico plus the time zone change was getting me into town late and I figured I might have a better shot at some stores if I could get there the 30 minutes early that E-town could provide. I got off to a really bad start as I missed my exit and had to add 20 miles to my trip waiting for an exit to turn around at.
Detour aside, I got to E-town. Besides death and taxes, every Goodwill has vinyl and these are simple truths in life. Or were, because this one did not. Undeterred, I carried on.
I raced over to a St. Vincent having just a few minutes to inspect their stash before closing time. But they decided to close up early, so my racing was useless.
A smarter man would have called it quits and gotten back on the highway at this point, because I still had a Goodwill in Shepardsville near my hotel to check out. But I refused to let this city beat me down.
I rolled back across town to Salvation Army. And it simply did not exist, the address Google provided was bogus. I checked my phone again...there was another location BACK OVER NEAR ST VINCENT. I took a deep breath and retraced my steps. And of course, they were closed as well.
Regaining my composure after this most epic of failures - perhaps a personal low - was difficult at first. But I relied on the fact that when you give up or slow down is when you stop really digging and are just a casual observer. A fool on the sidelines; an amateur lost amidst the play of the big leagues. And these things, surely, I am not.
I continued driving, now pushing 10 hours. I made S-ville with haste. I found my Goodwill, I found my bin, and I started over and worked towards what I always seek, and what had come undone moments earlier but now forgotten.
I found a Corey Hart album I would have considered had there been more to buy (besides a lonely, empty jacket). I found perhaps the most tattered album I've ever seen (depicted below). I found a copy of Eng's debut (not mono unfortunately). I found some nice 8-tracks. I found another copy is a very pleasant A&M comp of which I already own doppelgängers. And then I found what I was destined to find, here, so far from home.
Just the other day I had complained at finding Mr. Miller's third in stereo yet again. Apparently I complained loud enough for the Puppet Master who runs this show to hear and I have now been silenced.

Home/Blog, Blood Sugar, Diets, Inflammation, Insulin Resistance, Low Carb/Starch: To Eat or Not To Eat? And What The Heck Is Resistant Starch?
Eat more grains and carbohydrates.
So, for the last 35 years, that is what most of us did, ate less fat and ate more carbohydrates, with a great deal of help from the many large food companies who offered tons of new low-fat and fat-free products. Since food tastes terrible without fat, they had to replace the removed fat with something to make it palatable. Their answer? Sugar. Gobs and gobs of sugar.
I remember when "non-fat" was all the rage. I fell for it; my whole family fell for it. In fact, up until 15 years ago, everything I ate was non-fat. And all that fat-replacing sugar that came with it. Non-fat yogurt typically has as much sugar as a candy bar! A slice of whole grain bread has a higher glycemic index (meaning it turns to glucose more rapidly) than a candy bar! Read the label of any processed food product today, even items you would not consider sweet, and you will find sugar in one of its many forms. (go here for my Sweeteners To Avoid list) All the sweeteners add up quickly: the average American now consumes 150 to 170 pounds of refined sugars each year, up from just 120 pounds in 1970, and just 10 pounds in 1821.
So where does starch fall into all this? Isn't starch better than sugar? Let's explore this more as you get ready for Thanksgiving, the mashed potato holiday, so you can make a more educated choice. After reading this you may pass the potatoes and opt for Mashed Parsnips or Roasted Cauliflower Mash. You may even choose to eat your mashed potatoes cold.
For a long time, I was guilty of consuming large amounts of healthy carbs in the form of starch. Lots of grains, beans, potatoes, breads, flours, etc. Why was this bad for me? Well, it kept feeding my sugar addiction and kept me in a state of imbalanced blood sugar that affected my ability to fall asleep, lowered my energy levels, messed with my moods, was increasing my level of systemic inflammation, and really messed up my digestion. I actually became insulin resistant and didn't know it for years.
You may have been told that complex carbohydrates are good for you and, perhaps, that they are necessary. The real truth is that the obesity epidemic is not just the result of over-consuming added sugar. The base of the USDA Food Pyramid (and a quarter of the new and not-so-improved "MyPlate") is actually made-up of sugar. This is sugar packed within starch molecules waiting to be quickly digested back into glucose… the simplest form of sugar.
The base of the USDA's food pyramid is made of up of 9- 11 servings of grains a day. This is really just sugar in waiting.
Dietary carbohydrates come in many different forms: non-starchy vegetables, fruits, starchy vegetables, grains, dairy, and simple sugars. When our body breaks down many of these carbohydrates for storage, they are stored as glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscles, and then in our adipose tissue as fat when our glycogen stores are full.
Each of us has a unique amount of carbohydrates that we can use or tolerate without increasing inflammation, fat levels, disrupting blood sugar balance, and generally degrading our health. This unique level of carbohydrates can be dependent on your activity level, your body composition goals, and how efficient you are at burning both carbs and fat for fuel.
We call this metabolic flexibility, the ability to burn both carbohydrates and fat for fuel. Depending on your own current level of metabolic flexibility, you may need more or fewer carbohydrates. What's cool is that you can increase your metabolic flexibility with a few simple changes.
Decrease your eating window, making sure you allow a minimum of 12 hours and up to 16 hours without eating each day.
Exercise in the morning before you eat.
Start your day without carbohydrates for breakfast.
So Back to Starch. Is STARCH JUST SUGAR in a Different Form?
Basically yes, most foods high in starch, such as crackers, cereal, pasta, breads, potatoes, beans, and even whole grains, are converted rapidly into glucose by the body. (Remember that a single slice of whole grain bread has a higher glycemic index (GI) than a typical candy bar?) For most of us, it would be wise to lower our intake of foods high in starch. However, there is a type of starch that is better for us, called resistant starch, that we can slowly introduce into our diets.
All forms of starch require more steps in digestion than simple sugars, like raw honey, fruits, and other monosaccharides, like glucose and lactose. These simple sugars don't require much digestion and are absorbed through the gut lining quite quickly. This is what leads to the sharp increases in blood sugar levels, and what can really affect our energy, moods, and ability to concentrate.
Starches, like grains, beans, and root vegetables (potato, yams, sweet potato, and cassava), are more difficult for our digestive systems to break down. Starches, known as disaccharides, need to be broken down by cells land enzymes lining the small intestine (enterocytes and brush border enzymes) before they can be absorbed. For most people, this is where the problem lies. With any level of digestive inflammation or permeable/leaky gut, the inability to digest complex carbohydrates is common. As are the accompanying symptoms, such as bloating, gas, pain, belching, diarrhea, and constipation.
With compromised digestion, starches can remain in the gut undigested and become food for pathogenic bacteria, candida, and other toxins leading to more damage to the gut wall and to the whole body. Undigested starches are the perfect food for both our good and bad bacteria.
Thus it may be wise to eliminate starches completely from your diet temporarily to let the healing in the gut wall take place and to make sure that the pathogens are not being fed. In most cases, once the gut wall has healed and new cells have been built, you can start introducing starches again without the digestive discomfort.
How Is Resistant Starch Different?
Resistant starches differ from normal complex carbohydrates because they behave differently than most starches and sugars in your digestion system. This class of starches can pass through your small intestine without being digested, hence the name resistant. They are resistant to the enzymes that promote digestion and instead of being converted rapidly to glucose and affecting your blood sugar, resistant starch foods actually feed the good gut microbes in your large intestine.
Our beneficial gut bacteria thrive on resistant starches. Gut microbes gobble up resistant starch, ferment it to produce certain vitamins, convert it to short-chain fatty acids like butyrate (found in grass-fed butter and ghee), and acetate, and propionate. These short-chain fatty acids are essential food for the cells in our colons, fuel for our neurons, and they increase our "good" beneficial bacteria, which helps us maintain the health of our gut so we can digest and absorb our nutrients better.
Our guts have hundreds of different bacterial species, some good and some not. As one of our goals is to increase the number of good bacteria and we know now that resistant starch may selectively feed the good bacteria in our large intestine, it can be healthy to slowly introduce these foods that can help maintain intestinal health.
Butyrate is really important for healthy gut balance and is the preferred source of energy for the cells lining the colon. More butyrate means decreased inflammation in the gut and other tissues, increased intestinal resistance, and decreased leaky gut – hence fewer toxins leaking into our blood. Butyrate also plays several roles in increasing metabolism and can help metabolic flexibility.
Another remarkable thing about resistant starch is that you don't absorb the calories from these foods as glucose (sugar). This means they do not raise your blood sugar or insulin levels like other quickly digested carbohydrates. So, all of us low-carb folks can allow some forms of resistant starch into our diet, without exceeding our carbohydrate tolerance. Eating resistant starch can help boost fat burning, help you feel full longer, and decrease fat storage.
So Where Do We Get Some of This Good Resistant Starch?
Many foods contain resistant starch in their raw form, and when they are cooked and cooled before being eaten. The cooling process creates a type of resistant starch that resists digestion.
Remember, not everyone can eat resistant starch without experiencing digestive upset, so the rule of thumb is – start slowly.
As with any other starch, if you have imbalanced microbes, gut dysbiosis, or an overgrowth of pathogens in your gut you may have to let the gut wall heal first before introducing starch.
Pretty much every article or book that talks about resistant starch will have a list suggesting a variety of foods. I generally omit the grains and legumes because, as we know, these foods, unless properly prepared (soaked, fermented, sprouted), can be quite inflammatory for our guts.
If you currently experience digestive issue symptoms, such as gas, bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea, burping, etc. or if you are coming off a diet that was high in refined and processed foods, you may have difficulty eating starch, even resistant starch, right away. Resistant starch supplementation can be a good way to assess the health of your gut. If you have good gut function you may respond positively, and if your gut is compromised you may respond poorly. The gas, bloating, cramps and everything else are signs that your gut needs work.
In some cases, and with many of my clients, it is important to eliminate all forms of starches temporarily until some gut healing can take place. I place my clients on the GAPS diet or a Leaky Gut repair diet. Often in digestive process problems, large particles of undigested food can enter the intestines, which stimulates the growth of pathogenic bacteria. These "not so beneficial" bacteria, whose growth is encouraged by poorly digested foods, low stomach acid, a diet high in refined foods, can lead to the growth of more pathogenic bacteria and can quickly create an imbalanced microbiome. Not only will this result in a host of digestive symptoms, but it leads to inflammatory problems throughout the whole body, including the gut, and increased rates of chronic disease.
Lowering your intake of carbohydrates may prove to be beneficial to your overall health and increase your metabolic flexibility.
Everyone has a unique carbohydrate tolerance. Some of us can eat more than others while others thrive on a lower amount.
You may need to eliminate all forms of starch, temporarily, to let your gut walls heal and to balance your microbiota.
When eating starchy foods pay attention to symptoms of digestive distress such as bloating, gas, pain, belching, diarrhea, and constipation.
Start slowly when introducing starch, even resistant starch can cause digestive upset. If you experience more digestive distress with very small amounts, this may be an indication of SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or microbial dysbiosis.
If you are on a low carb or Ketogenic diet you can try adding potato starch, green banana flour or plantain flour, which are very low in digestible carbohydrates.
Try starting with ¼- ½ teaspoon of potato starch daily and very gradually increase the amount if tolerated. Some gas and bloating is not uncommon as your gut flora changes and adapts, however, these may also be a sign you need to allow more time for additional gut healing. There is some indication that the benefits of resistant starch may occur when consuming potato starch daily (around 15 grams/2 Tablespoons).

Join Jamie Brody from Keshet, Reverend Burton Bagby-Grose of the United Church of Christ, and American Muslim activist & Family Equality staffer Raquel Saraswati for a conversation on navigating faith-based questions from family members, religious leaders, and, most importantly, your children. We'll also be discussing common decision-points parents might encounter around faith as their children age. Appropriate for parents and parents-to-be at all stages of life and faith!
Tom Lee will share some insights from his thirty years experience telling traditional folktales to school children. Tom's presentation will consider how contemporary parents can bring the powerful human tradition of storytelling into their families. We will look at sources for great stories and consider how to incorporate these into the fabric of children's education and understanding of the world. Come ready to share your own memories of storytelling, and your questions about telling stories with your children.


On Monday, as much was made of the state of the flooded mundo track and corner areas at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Lawrence said that he and his team were ready to do battle once there was grass, a ball and three fair officials.

And last night, the Soca Warriors showed that they meant business as they dealt the United States' 2018 World Cup dreams a deadly blow, thanks to an Alvin Jones thunderbolt.
The visitors were coming off a 4-nil hammering of Panama on Friday and had racked up six goals against the Warriors in their previous two encounters.
Only on Monday, USA head coach Bruce Arena warned reporters about the quality and unpredictability of the CONCACAF region. However, with his team sitting in third spot with 12 points to their name before the Couva clash, the veteran coach did not envisage missing out on next year's showpiece event in Russia.
"It's disappointing and it's a blemish for us," said Arena, at the post-game briefing. "We should not have been staying home for this World Cup and I take full responsibility for it.
"We had everything we asked for today[…]. We must give our opponents credit because they played well and they played hard on the day and they won a lot of individual battles against us and they deserve all the credit for their win.

Lawrence, who famously headed Trinidad and Tobago to their lone World Cup appearance in 2006, chose not to revel in his opponents' hardships. However, "Tallest" suggested that T&T had finally got the remedy to move beyond 1989 as a footballing nation.
Last night's victory saw the Warriors stop a seven-game losing skid. Lawrence could not pinpoint when next his team would be active but he suggested that they now have a good platform to start the building process for Qatar 2022.
"I just want everybody to look at tonight and understand that it's the beginning of a new era," said Lawrence, when asked about his team's future schedule. "We must continue in that form and there must be discipline, structure, organisation and pride for Trinidad and Tobago.

Lawrence said his assistant coach and former Arsenal and England legend Sol Campbell is also set to discuss his immediate future with Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president David John-Williams.
While the Trinidad and Tobago coach was confident about taking the two-island republic back to Caribbean dominance, Arena was coy about his own future.
"What does my future look like? I think I have a good future," Arena said. "I don't know what I'll be doing but whatever it is, it's going to be good… There's nothing wrong with what we are doing [as a soccer federation]. Certainly, as our league continues to grow and benefits the national team programme.

Talented USA attacker Christian Pulisic, who gave his country a fighting chance with an effort from the edge of the area seconds into the second half, will now have to wait another four years for a chance to wet his feet at a World Cup. Meanwhile, former Premier League stars Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard will not be able to bow out on world football's biggest stage.
Lawrence will have his own brainstorming to do as far as concerns the roles his senior players take in the foreseeable future, as the likes of Radanfah Abu Bakr, Kenwyne Jones and Jan-Michael Williams were all overlooked for the closing qualifying games.
Can they be expected to feature heavily for the Warriors from here on in?
"These players are very experienced and they need to start handing that experience over to the younger group. They have got massive roles," stated Lawrence, who has called up youngsters Isaiah Hudson, Duane Muckette, Julio Noel, Kathon St Hillaire and Josiah Trimmingham in recent times—although none of those players has so far seen on-field action.

The T&T coach praised the performances of Kevan George, Triston Hodge, skipper Khaleem Hyland, Shahdon Winchester and Jones. And the once towering centre-half stated that senior players should pattern their efforts on Hyland's determined and passionate play in the last two qualifiers.
Hyland, together with central midfield partners George and Leston Paul, made countless interceptions and timely tackles while Winchester worked his socks off as a lone striker, much to the annoyance of opposing centre-backs Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler.
It was this fighting spirit which seemed to spur on the small Couva crowd. Unfortunately, the goodwill did not extend to the TTFA's relief effort for Caribbean neighbours affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The TTFA partnered with the local Lions in this venture but, at kick-off, Lion's representative Jacqueline Newallo-Christian said the donations received up to that point were underwhelming.
"A lack of advertising and marketing really hampered the initiative because we had catered for a lot more persons," said Newallo-Christian, who pointed to the number of empty boxes in the collection tents.

Newallo-Christian said an alternative drop-off point before game day—as suggested by Wired868, two weeks ago—would have been more beneficial for the venture as there would have been less hassle for patrons.
One spectator suggested that when it all boils down, fans wanted one thing on game day—and that was to see football!
The visitors certainly did not get much relief from the Warriors either, as their World Cup hopes crashed in dramatic fashion.
As Lawrence and his team look to write the next chapter in Trinidad and Tobago football, the former Everton assistant coach and Belgium scout urged fans to jump on the gravy train early.

Looking foward to better things to come Dennis.
Laurence is an idiot to think so!
We needed victories at other times. We do not know how to win when we should and we cannot be coached to win when we need to. What is the value of the win except ego massaging! And what turmoil i ask. Budget or no budget, Imbert or no Imbert we all have to find ways to live! I thought by now after eleven years we would learn how to play football and how to win. I dont praise mediocrity! Ask the people around me!
Some people live in alternate realities! Some lives in fleeting moments! My reality has history! A history that goes back to the sixties as a school boy. As for citizenship…you are clueless!
Amazad the gentleman is entitled to his opinion. But i agree with you i believe this victory could be the start of something good with our football.
Instead of castigating on the team's victory, u should be looking forward to the future. Of course being at your age, you only see misery as you're closing in on your time. All of us know that the victory is rather promising and is SWEET REVENGE for what they did to us in 1989. You're entitled to your opinion yes, but don't castigate on a team that achieved what seemed impossible despite your lack of support.

Jack Dorsey's $2.9M NFT tweet flops at auction
Buying an NFT linked to a top entrepreneur or celebrity does not guarantee a massive return on investment. Sina Estavi, the founder of two Malaysia-based cryptocurrency companies, is having to swallow this bitter pill.
During the hit of the NFT frenzy early last year, Estavi paid a whopping $2.9 million for an NFT of Jack Dorsey's first tweet. A year later and the $2.9 million NFT received a top bid of just $280 in an auction.
The collectible was scheduled to sell via auction with opening bids set at $28 million. The CEO of the blockchain company Bridge Oracle said that he was earmarking a portion of the sales for charity.
"I decided to sell this NFT and donate 50% of the proceeds ($25 million or more) to the charity GiveDirectly," wrote Estavi.
However, the auction closed yesterday, and it was nothing short of a flop. Estavi received just seven offers ranging from 0.09 ETH (around $277) to 0.0019 ETH (about $6).
With two days left to either accept or reject the bids, Estavi saidthat he might never sell the tweet NFT.
The deadline I set was over, but if I get a good offer, I might accept it, I might never sell it.
Although the NFT market started the year with full force, it appears the market is slowing down. By early March, daily sales had dropped by 83% relative to the end of January. According to data from market tracker Nonfungible, the average price of an NFT has also fallen from a high of $6,200 to under $2,000 within the same period. Pablo Rodriguez-Fraile, an NFT enthusiast, told Reuters:
Obviously the enthusiasm and interest that we had at some periods last year is not here anymore […] I think we achieved something that wasn't sustainable.
