Rice, Ndidi, Saul on Man United shortlist of Pogba replacements
Hey there! Before reading the article which is about Rice, Ndidi, Saul on Man United shortlist of Pogba replacements, you should read about man united. It shares basic information about this article and also adds more value to it. Do let us know how you feel about it in the comment section below. Happy Reading! Really glad that you are here.
For a club once renowned for its ability to identify and recruit the best talent around, Manchester United's summer business so far has been somewhat underwhelming. The Old Trafford outfit are in the market for at least two new midfield signings – and have identified Leicester City's N'Golo Kanté as their number one target. However, it has been reported that the Premier League champions are also looking at alternatives in the event the ex-Le Havre man doesn't arrive. The Mirror (h/t Sky Sports) reports that Antonio Conte's Chelsea are keen to add Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi to their ranks as they set about shoring up the Blues' midfield ranks,
More than a year has passed since Paul Pogba's £89.3 million move from Manchester United to Juventus, but the France midfielder's possible return to Old Trafford remains a hot topic. Jose Mourinho has long made clear that he wants Pogba back in the side, but United's efforts to sign the 25-year-old have been complicated by Pogba's relationship with agent Mino Raiola. However, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward remains determined to lure Pogba back to United, though Mourinho is also expected to add at least one more central midfielder to his squad before the transfer window closes, with Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi, Benfica's Bruno Fernandes and Saul Niguez of Atletico Madrid all linked with
The January transfer window may seem like a distant memory, but that doesn't mean the rumor mill has stopped! There is a lot of speculation about the summer moves. Check out the latest gossip below, and see all the official proposals here.
MAIN STORY : Man United make list of candidates to replace Pogba
It is already known that Manchester United are considering a departure for Paul Pogba if he refuses to sign a new contract, but the club have reportedly made a shortlist of candidates to replace him should he leave.
According to the Mirror, United will meet with Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola later this month to negotiate a contract extension. But if Pogba turns down the £400,000-a-week offer, United will act quickly to replace him rather than let him leave for nothing next summer.

Declan Rice, Wilfred Ndidi and Saul Niguez are on the reserve list.
Rice, 22, has been a key figure for West Ham United in their promotion to the Premier League this season, but the Hammers could be asking up to £100m for their talented midfielder.
Ndidi has excelled as the focal point of Leicester City's midfield this season and is seen as a much cheaper option. The 24-year-old Nigeria international helped the Foxes to a top-four finish and the FA Cup final.
Niguez, 26, has been with Atletico Madrid since 2013 and is the most attacking midfielder of the trio, but can play in several positions.
Of all the above options, however, United would prefer Pogba to sign on the dotted line.

17:00 EST : Will Tammy Abraham stay at Chelsea if he stays on the bench?
Julien Laurence warns that Jaydon Sancho will leave Dortmund for good this summer.
16.01 BST : Columbus Crew SC has loaned midfielder Liam Fraser to Toronto FC.
Frazier, 23, comes over in exchange for $50,000 general allowance for 2021, the clubs announced. The Canadian has played 33 games in the MLS since making his debut in 2018.
We've known Liam since his academy days in Toronto. He is a motivated and promising young player who will help strengthen our midfield in a very busy season, Crew president and general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement. We hope to integrate him into our team in Columbus and help him continue his professional development.
15.26 TSB : Florian Wirtz has extended his contract at Bayer Leverkusen until June 2026.
Wirtz, 18, joined the club in January 2020 and is currently a first-team starter. The midfielder is becoming one of the most sought after young players in football, but he signed on his 18th birthday.
At Bayer Leverkusen, everything went exactly as I expected and as I was promised, he said. I'm playing for a great club, one of the best in Germany, and I want us to aim for the highest goals in the coming years. I have already improved my football skills with a great team and I just want to keep doing that. I would like to contribute with my performance to win titles here in the near future.
Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller added: Not only does his first call-up to the German national team show that Florian has made fantastic progress in his 18 months here. His exceptional talent was obvious to everyone, so we had high hopes for him when we contracted him in early 2020 at the age of 16. But then again, we didn't expect him to play a key role in our first team either! Considering his young age and the fact that he is still working on his high school diploma, this is an excellent achievement. If he continues like this, he will become a real leader in the coming years, one of the pillars of our team.
14:37 EST: Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has stated that Erling Haaland will not be leaving the club.
The 20-year-old Haaland is the best young player in the world and is valued at around €180 million. The striker has a €75million buyout clause from 2021 and his manager Mino Raiola has been scouring Europe to determine his client's next destination. Man United, City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and other top continental clubs are interested.
But Watzke told Sport1: I've known Raiola for a long time and I get along well with him. This is not a problem for us. Erling Haaland will remain a player of Borussia Dortmund next year as well.
14.08 TSB : Dortmund star Jaydon Sancho is expected to be selected this summer.
13.45 TSB: The Scottish Sun reports that Newcastle have set their sights on Celtic defender Christoffer Ayer.
Ajer, 23, is in the final year of his contract and ready to leave after Rangers dominated the Hoops in Scotland this season. Celtic want around £8m for the Norwegian and Norwich are also reportedly interested in him.
13.02 TSB : Manchester United legend Roy Keane believes the club should target Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish this summer.
I still think they [United] are two or three players away from challenging for Man City, Keane told Sky Sports. They're short. They still need a world class striker, another midfielder and possibly a central midfielder. But I'd rather have a striker and a midfielder.
The two players I think would be perfect for Man Utd in recent weeks are Harry Kane in attack – and Jack Grealish. I feel United are still missing such a special player. I think Grealish would give them everything and I have a feeling he would love to play at Old Trafford.
The fans will love it. What I admire about Jack is his great courage on the football field. He always wants the ball in tight situations. We have seen his end product improve over the last two years. He's a great player and of course Kane guarantees goals.
12.17 BST : Borussia Dortmund are ready to sell Englishman Jaydon Sancho for €100 million, according to ESPN's Stefan Wersfeld.
Last summer, the 21-year-old Sancho was lured to Dortmund, but the deal fell through because Dortmund wouldn't let him leave for less than €120m and interested clubs like Manchester United weren't willing to pay that amount.
But as the summer transfer window approaches, Dortmund have revised their earlier estimate to €100 million. The winger is under contract at the Westfalenstadion until 2023.
Sources told ESPN that there is no deadline by which the deal must be completed this summer.
11.45 TSB: Does Gareth Bale have a future at Tottenham?
Nedum Onuoha believes Gareth Bale's hat-trick against Sheffield United proves he can still be a top player.
11.11 BST : Valencia have said goodbye to coach Javi Gracia after Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Barcelona.
The statement reads as follows: Valencia CF informed Javi Gracia on Monday of his resignation as first-team coach. The club publicly thanked him for his work and commitment during his tenure as team coach and wished him all the best for the future. Salvador Gonzalez Voro will lead the first team on an interim basis.
10.31 TSB : Club America striker Roger Martinez has become a priority target for Boca Juniors after ESPN reported that Edinson Cavani is likely to turn down a move to the Argentine squad in order to extend his contract at Manchester United for another season.
TYC Sport reports that Boca Juniors sporting director Juan Roman Riquelme has named Martinez as an alternative target, but a deal will not be easy as the Americans are likely to demand more than $10 million for his services. Martinez left Villarreal for America in 2018 and has since scored 23 goals in 99 appearances for the Mexican national team.
09.51 BST : Former Roma and Bournemouth striker Juan Iturbe is on his way to becoming a free agent when his contract with the Pumas expires at the end of 2021 and the Mexican club are unlikely to offer him a new deal due to his high salary, sources have confirmed to ESPN Deportes.
The 27-year-old came to the Pumas from Tijuana in 2018, but has since failed to establish himself as a starter, scoring 12 goals in 93 games.
09.23 TSB: Akhraf Hakimi left Real Madrid to head to Serie A champions Inter Milan for around €40 million and has settled in well there.
Hakimi, 22, impressed at Inter when they won the Scudetto for the first time since 2009/10, but the defender has hinted that a return to the Bernabeu at some point is a possibility.
Real Madrid was my home, I would like to stay there and fight for my place, he told El Chiringuito. But the club took a different decision, I can't blame manager Zinedine]. Zidane or the board of directors. I think Real Madrid has the right of first choice for me.
08.30 TSB: According to Onda Cero, Real Madrid have made a better offer to Lucas Vazquez to stay at the club after this summer.
Vasquez, 29, will be on the 30th. June on a free transfer and has yet to sign a contract extension at Real Madrid.
The Spanish winger and full-back has already rejected a three-year contract extension offered by Madrid, which would have meant a 10% pay cut. Real Madrid want Vazquez to stay and have made an improved offer, which includes a three-year contract with the possibility of a fourth-year extension. Vazquez is a key player for coach Zinedine Zidane and has played 34 of Madrid's 46 games this season.
PSG star Neymar has explained why winning the Champions League is more important to him than the Ballon d'Or.
PAPER GOSSIP (by Nick Judd)
– Barcelona's new president Joan Laporta's main target appears to be Neymar. The La Liga giants have approached Paris Saint-Germain about a transfer that would see the 29-year-old Brazilian striker reunited with Lionel Messi. That's according to RAC 1, who believe Barca not only want to persuade Messi to stay, but also create a business opportunity – namely signing Neymar – that could help the financial situation. The publication claims Barcelona would offer PSG €130 million and three players.
– Borussia Dortmund striker Jaydon Sancho has reportedly signed a gentleman's agreement with sporting director Michael Zork allowing him to leave the club under certain conditions, according to an interview with ARD. Zorc reports that Manchester United had almost activated that contract last summer. The Red Devils are likely to come back with a €90 million bid this time around as Dortmund are denied a European place next season.
– Following reports on Saturday that Real Madrid are considering a bid for Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski this summer, Bild suggests the Premier League is a more likely destination. With the Pole's current contract expiring in June 2023, Bayern are not yet considering a new deal, the newspaper reported.
– Leicester are continuing negotiations to sign midfielder Boubacari Soumaré from Lille, reports Fabrizio Romano. The Foxes have been hot on the heels of the 22-year-old for a while now and with his contract set to expire in June 2022, Leicester are one of the clubs looking to seize the opportunity to sign him, with Lille more likely to let him go this summer than lose him for nothing after 12 months.
– Newly promoted Watford are in negotiations to bring back 35-year-old Ashley Young for free, reports Fabrizio Romano. The Hornets are set to strike if Serie A champions Internazionale do not offer the left-back a new contract at the end of the season.

St Mary's Junior school last had a formal visit from Ofsted in December 2018, when I am pleased to tell you that the school was once again judged as good, the only possible outcome for a short inspection. In addition, significant improvements were noted since the last inspection.
The outcome of this inspection means that we will now be subject to a full inspection in a year or two in order to demonstrate our outstanding practice. See below for the full report.
In addition, following our Church School Inspection in March 2019, I am delighted to tell you that St Mary's has been judged as an Excellent Church School and that all seven strands, as well as RE, were also judged as excellent.
St. Mary's Christian vision underpins its work as a highly distinctive church school. It drives the work of school leaders and has a transformational impact on the lives of its pupils and their families.
The rich, broad curriculum strongly supports the academic and social development of pupils exceptionally well.
The skilled and determined leadership of the headteacher, strongly supported by the school's staff and governors, has created a vibrant Christian community where pupils and adults flourish, despite any challenges encountered.
High quality provision for religious education (RE) and collective worship strongly contributes to pupils' spiritual development. This is further strengthened by the extremely supportive partnership that has been established between the local church and the school.
The result of this report gives us a chance to celebrate all the hard work and commitment of the staff and governors to continue to strive to improve the school and to provide the best possible experiences for all pupils. It would of course not be possible without the amazing support given to the school by parents, other relatives, friends and the community as a whole, which was also recognised in the report. And last but by no means least, the commitment of the children in developing St Mary's as one family, as well as the pride they take in both their own and other's achievements.
The report can be seen below as an attachment.

1 Red Hat's Good Quarter: What's the Problem?
Who'd have thought that a rather irritating little note-making C# application could threaten Linux and bring the mighty Debian to its knees? Almost no one.
OS Roundup: An irritating note-making C# application threatens Linux and brings the mighty Debian to its knees. Think it can't happen?
The application in question is called Tomboy, and this little faux Post-It Note utility uses Mono, an open source implementation of Microsoft's .Net framework, to run.
The danger is that Microsoft is probably planning to force all free C# implementations underground some day using software patents... The problem is not in the C# implementations, but rather in Tomboy and other applications written in C#. If we lose the use of C#, we will lose them too. That doesn't make them unethical, but it means that writing them and using them is taking a gratuitous risk.
The upshot of this, Stallman says, is that writing programs in C# should be discouraged, and that means not including C# implementations like Mono in the default implementation of Debian — or any other Linux distro, for that matter.
Does he have a point? His argument is that it is in the realm of possibility that Microsoft may one day try to suppress free C# implementations using software patents, so we shouldn't use them, or anything that requires them.
The bigger question is, why stop at C#? Using the same logic, shouldn't we worry about the risk of Microsoft pursuing a strategy to drive the whole Linux OS underground using software patents? In fact, Microsoft (and SCO, for that matter) already tried this once a few years ago, so the risk is more than theoretical. Just because Microsoft (and SCO) tried it once doesn't necessarily mean it won't try it again. However, I don't see Stallman advocating avoiding Linux on the grounds that using it would be "taking a gratuitous risk."
The difference, I suppose, is that Linux is the very embodiment of free, open source software, and therefore worth running a few (non-gratuitous) risks for. Tomboy, on the other hand, is just annoying.
But as it turns out, the whole thing is moot anyway. Alexander Reichle-Schmehl, a Debian spokesman, says on his blog that Tomboy (and thus Mono), isn't included in Debian's default GNOME installation like Stallman suggests at all. It's only included in a metapackage that installs all GNOME-related software for the most feature-rich Debian GNOME installation.
And yesterday it appears that Microsoft has committed itself to allowing implementations such as Mono. Good news for C# developers; bad news for anyone who dislikes Tomboy as much as I do.
The moral of the story? You have to respect Richard Stallman for his undoubted integrity and genius and everything he has done to further his ideal. But perhaps it's best to take what he says and mix it with a large dose of reality before worrying about any of it too much. Or maybe he knew precisely what he was doing and got exactly the result from Microsoft that he intended.

Bøker & Børst according to Lonely Planet: "There are dozens of engaging little cafes in the lanes climbing the hillside west of the oil museum, but our favourite is Bøker & Børst with its warm and eccentric decor, great coffee and laidback feel whatever the time of day. Special mention must be made of the toilets, which have antique wallpaper and bookshelves filled to bursting – clearly they don't... mind if you linger."
"On the same cobbled street is Bøker & Børst, a book-lined bar and café with an unrivalled selection of bottled beer from throughout Scandinavia and beyond. Most take a table under the awning outside and risk the rain to soak up the colourfully painted hotchpotch of wooden shop fronts that line the area."

New York Mets vs. San Francisco Giants, 9/2/2018 Prediction & Preview
The Mets and Giants played extra innings on Saturday and still only combined for three runs. Will the under also cash on Sunday when these clubs play the rubber match of their series?
Game Snapshot & Odds
907 New York Mets at 908 San Francisco Giants
3:05 p.m. ET, AT&T Park
TV: NYM (SNY); SF (NBCSBA)
According to oddsmakers, the Mets as a -145 favorite to beat the Giants this afternoon. As of this writing, 60% of the betting tickets wagered at online sportsbooks are on the Mets to beat the Giants on the moneyline.
Mets' Syndergaard allows four runs in loss to Cubs
Noah Syndergaard yielded four earned runs over six innings Monday in a loss to the Cubs. Syndergaard issued three walks and gave up nine hits, including three doubles. He struck out six. The 25-year-old right-hander has looked a little more mediocre than we're accustomed to since he returned from a strained ligament in his right index finger in July. He'll bring a 3.51 ERA and 1.28 WHIP into his next start on the road against the Giants.
Giants' Stratton throws eight scoreless in victory over D-Backs
Chris Stratton threw eight scoreless innings in a 2-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday. Stratton scattered five hits, and he didn't walk anyone while striking out six. While the right-hander did pitch well against the Mets in his last start, this still came out of nowhere, as he's been mostly ineffective as a starter in 2018. Even with the excellent outing, his ERA sits at 4.99 on the year, and his K/BB ratio is 89/41 over 115 1/3 innings. It's very difficult to recommend him as a starter even with these two quality performances. Stratton will likely start again Sunday against the Mets, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.
The Mets have lost 10 of their last 15 games against the National League West.
The Giants have dropped eight of their last nine attempts in the third game of a series.
The Giants have little offense right now because they lost a ton of their starters to injury (Andrew McCutchen was also traded to the Yankees on Thursday). The under is now 6-0-1 in their last six home games and 3-0-1 in their last four home games versus a right-handed starter. On the other side, the under is 4-1 in Syndergaard's last five starts versus the National League West. He should dominate this San Francisco offense.
The Pick: Giants/Mets under 7.5

Fredrick Walter Atkins was 5 years old when American Civil War: Fort Sumter surrenders to Confederate forces. The American Civil War was a war fought in the United States from 1861 to 1865. As a result of the long-standing controversy over slavery, war broke out in April 1861, when Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States, who advocated for states' rights to expand slavery.
Fredrick Walter Atkins was 18 years old when Winston Churchill, English colonel, journalist, and politician, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1965) Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was a British politician, army officer, and writer, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. As Prime Minister, Churchill led Britain to victory in the Second World War. Churchill represented five constituencies during his career as Member of Parliament (MP). Ideologically an economic liberal and British imperialist, he began and ended his parliamentary career as a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955, but for twenty years from 1904 he was a prominent member of the Liberal Party.
Fredrick Walter Atkins was 27 years old when Eruption of Krakatoa: Four enormous explosions destroy the island of Krakatoa and cause years of climate change. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in the Dutch East Indies began in the afternoon of Sunday, 26 August 1883, and peaked in the late morning of Monday, 27 August when over 70% of the island and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed as it collapsed into a caldera. Additional seismic activity was reported to have continued until February 1884, though reports of seismic activity after October 1883 were later dismissed by Rogier Verbeek's investigation into the eruption. The 1883 eruption was one of the deadliest and most destructive volcanic events in recorded history. At least 36,417 deaths are attributed to the eruption and the tsunamis it created. Significant additional effects were also felt around the world in the days and weeks after the volcano's eruption.
Fredrick Walter Atkins was 42 years old when Spanish–American War: The Treaty of Paris is signed, officially ending the conflict. The Spanish–American War was fought between the United States and Spain in 1898. Hostilities began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in Cuba, leading to US intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. American acquisition of Spain's Pacific possessions led to its involvement in the Philippine Revolution and ultimately in the Philippine–American War.
Fredrick Walter Atkins was 49 years old when Albert Einstein publishes his first paper on the special theory of relativity. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.
Fredrick Walter Atkins was 56 years old when The British passenger liner RMS Titanic sinks in the North Atlantic at 2:20 a.m., two hours and forty minutes after hitting an iceberg. Only 710 of 2,227 passengers and crew on board survive. RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. There were an estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, and more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service and was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. It was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, her architect, died in the disaster.
Fredrick Walter Atkins was 73 years old when The New York Stock Exchange crashes in what will be called the Crash of '29 or "Black Tuesday", ending the Great Bull Market of the 1920s and beginning the Great Depression. The New York Stock Exchange, is an American stock exchange located at 11 Wall Street, Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York. It is by far the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies at US$21.3 trillion as of June 2017. The average daily trading value was approximately US$169 billion in 2013. The NYSE trading floor is located at 11 Wall Street and is composed of 21 rooms used for the facilitation of trading. A fifth trading room, located at 30 Broad Street, was closed in February 2007. The main building and the 11 Wall Street building were designated National Historic Landmarks in 1978.


Guggul, an extract from the resin of the mukul myrrh tree (Commiphora mukul), has been used since 600 B.C. in Ayurvedic medicine to treat obesity and lipid disorders. Guggulipid, an ethyl acetate extract of this resin, is used to treat hyperlipidemia in India and is also available in the US. A 2002 study evaluated the mechanisms by which two compounds present in guggulipid, E- and Z-gugglusterone, decrease hepatic cholesterol levels.
Several tests were carried out in cell cultures and in mice. The resin extracts were evaluated for their effects on the activity of the bile acid receptor FXR because this receptor plays and important role in bile acid and cholesterol metabolism. Guggulsterone decreased the expression of the FXR receptor, indicating that it was an effective antagonist of this receptor. Guggulsterone did not directly affect DNA binding to FXR but did interact with and inhibit the FXR ligand-binding domain.
To determine whether the FXR antagonist property of guggulsterone is required for its cholesterol- lowering effects, normal and FXR-deficient mice were fed a normal diet or a high- cholesterol diet supplemented with guggulsterone for 1 week. The cholesterol diet increased liver cholesterol levels in both the normal and FXR-deficient mice. Guggulsterone deceased liver cholesterol levels in normal mice fed a high-cholesterol diet but had no effect in normal mice fed a normal diet or in FXR-deficient mice. These findings suggest that guggulsterone lowers cholesterol levels by acting as an antagonist of the FXR bile acid receptor important in the metabolism of cholesterol.

What Is Siphon Coffee? Everything You Need To Know
Grab a pair of goggles and a lab coat and let's jump into how a physics professor made one of my favorite ways to brew coffee.
By Kevin Mullen
When I saw my first siphon brewer I was in awe. "What in the Breaking Bad, science experiment was I looking at?" I thought!
I must have spent three or four days in a rabbit hole of how it works, why it works, who made it, and why we still use it today.
If you're like me and have a lot of questions about coffee siphon brewers, let's see if we can't get them answered and get you started down the path to siphon coffee bliss.
What Is Siphon Coffee?
When you look at a siphon coffee brewer you're looking at a piece of history. This is one of the oldest ways we still use today to brew coffee, and the design has remained pretty much untouched from an 1840s patent.
You still have two "glass balloons," as they're named in the patent, one holds the water and will come into contact with a heat source, and the other has the coffee grounds.
After that, you need some way to create a seal and a filter, and the rest is science, literally.
If It Looks Like Science and Quacks Like Science, It Might Be Science
So how did this coffee maker come to be and why does it look like something that belongs in a lab and not on your kitchen counter?
Well, it kind of belongs in a lab because that's where it was created. The first-ever account of the siphon brewer goes back to a peer-reviewed scientific journal from the 1800s.
A German physics professor, by the name of Johann Gottlieb Christian Nörrenberg, was looking for a way to teach the principles of an Aeolipile, the ancient steam-powered machine with a hollow sphere that would turn with steam provided from a cauldron below to his class.
The simple design and the coffee became such a hit that his students and friends began making their own brewers at home.
From there, it wasn't until the 1840s that we see the first commercially successful version, from a French woman named Marie Fanny Amelne Massot. This design featured two glass "balloons" chambers, with the top holding the coffee ground, the bottom which held the water, a rubber seal in the middle to create the vacuum, and a butane burner to heat the bottom chamber.
It also featured a metal crown that topped the upper chamber and was just there for aesthetic purposes. Well, a modern-day siphon brew looks almost identical to this patent, but we did, unfortunately, lose the crown.
Now that we have some background on how this brewing method came to be, let's talk about how it works.
When heat is added to the bottom chamber that holds the water, some of it will begin to boil and create steam.
The steam starts to create pressure in the chamber and bubbles up through a tube connecting both chambers. You can watch this happen as the bubbles will start to travel up the tube in the middle.
After a while, the pressure will become too much and force the water up through the tube, toward the coffee at the top.
And now is where the hard part comes in: temperature control. While you can just leave the burner going full blast and let that water boil, you're gonna end up with an over-extracted cup of coffee and no one wants that.
You want to make sure that your water is staying just hot enough that it will keep the vacuum going but not enough for it to boil, so around 195 to 202 degrees Fahrenheit, or just off of boil.
Once you're done brewing you can remove the heat, and as the bottom chamber cools, the pressure lessens and the coffee will be pulled down through a filter leaving you with hopefully a great cup of coffee.
What Makes It Different?
If you're looking at this whole thing and asking "wait a minute, isn't this just a Moka pot?" Well, yeah kind of. They are both pretty similar in that they both use a vacuum to pull the water up to a top chamber, but they handle the coffee grounds very differently.
While a siphon brewer is going to fully emerge the coffee in the water, once the vacuum has been created, a Moka pot forces the water through the coffee with much more pressure.
The Moka pot gives you a cup that is closer to espresso than drip coffee. Because of the lower pressure with the siphon brewer, you get a beautifully flavored, delicate cup of coffee where the tasting notes can shine through.
Is Siphon Coffee Better?
Like most things in coffee, that depends. Making a great cup of coffee is something that takes time and practice. It's not for the faint of heart.
I've been making coffee through my Yama siphon brewer for about 6 months, and just when I think I've got it down to a science, I turn away for a second, and it's ruined.
It reminds me a lot of cooking. When I'm doing it for myself, I want something that going to be quick and easy, like a Moka pot. But when I want something special for myself or someone else, I want to take the time to make something beautiful, and that's where the siphon brewer comes in.
Yama Siphon 8 Cup/32oz/950ml Stove Top Coffee Maker
The owner of the coffee shop I used to work at called siphon brewing "making coffee with science" and that's just what it is. This little piece of history has withstood the test of time and for good reason.
If you're willing to put in the work, you can get a great cup of coffee, or maybe just wait till an automated version like the Siphonysta launches and go from there.
Either way, you are in for a fun experience and a great cup of coffee!

Charles P. Crawford >> Three-Legged Race (page 9)
«Can you believe those jackasses?» Kirk said in his normal voice. «There they are, dressed as carrots or buffaloes, screaming their greedy heads off so they can pick some stupid curtain and win a gag prize like a horny llama or something. You know what I'd do if I were on that show? I'd scream and squeal like the best of them and Monty would have to choose me. Then I would ask for the curtain girl instead of the curtain. I think she's listed in the Spiegel catalogue, f.o.b. Detroit, retail value forty-seven fifty. These daytime game shows make me want to puke.»
Amy began to cry. She didn't make any noise at first, just her shoulders shook as she sat at the end of the bed facing the television. Brent and Kirk turned to her. She didn't say anything, she just continued to cry.
Kirk swung his legs over the side of his bed and grabbed for his crutches. He stumbled from the room without looking back. Amy buried her head in her hands. The deals and the boxes and the curtains continued flowing from the television.
Brent rolled onto his side so he could see down the bed to where Amy was sitting. He didn't know why she was crying, but he wanted to comfort her. He felt he wouldn't know the right thing to say, though.
«What's the matter?» he asked.
«I don't know. I feel sad. I'm scared, Brent.»
«Why?» Brent asked.
«I don't know. I'm just scared. I wish I knew what was going to happen to us, to me.»
«Yeah, I know. But you're fine. Your mother says you're fine.»
«I'm scared anyway. I'm worried, Brent. I wish I felt fine.»
«Look, Amy. Everything's going to be all right. There's nothing to worry about. You'll be out of here soon and so will I, and nothing's ever going to get to Kirk. It would take a bulldozer to knock him flat.»
«I know. I'm being stupid.»
The television blasted: «And which curtain will you choose for the big deal of the day, Curtain One, Curtain Two or Curtain Three?»
Amy continued crying.
«Look, it's all right, Amy. I don't know what else to say.»
«There's nothing you can say, Brent. I'll be fine. I'm just scared is all. Like this show. Like if I had to pick one of those curtains, it would be the wrong one. They'd open my curtain and something awful would be there, something frightening. It's like a nightmare. The curtain would be open and everybody would scream, and I don't know what my prize would be, Brent, but I know I wouldn't be a winner.»
«You'll be a winner this time, Amy. You'll be fine. It's all right to be scared.»
«You never are though, Brent.»
«Yes, I am. I just never show it is all. I don't know why sometimes I'm so scared it hurts. Or I hurt so much I'm scared, but I never want to show it. I'd never mention anything like this to anyone except you and Kirk. You two are special. Otherwise I don't show it to anybody at all.»
«Thanks,» she said, wiping her eyes with the backs of her hands and sniffling. «I just wish I knew what was behind the curtain.»
Kirk barreled through the door, pushing the lunch cart ahead of him.
«I don't know what's going on in here, but it's against the rules. How many times have I told you two, no one is allowed in a room alone without a chaperone, or you have to have at least three feet on the floor. Let's shape up, you two. The nurses are beginning to talk.»
«Let them talk,» Amy said. «You can't stop the course of true love.»
«I think I'll write a book,» Kirk said. «A girl and her pig, a heartwarming story of true romance.»
«Hey, I resent that,» Brent said, laughing. «I'm no pig.»
«No?» Kirk said. «But it's what's for lunch. I bring you, hot from the kitchen, today's luncheon speciality, cooked to a turn by the seven nonfunctionals at the stove: breast of sow's ear stuffed with artichoke livers.»
«It's artichoke hearts,» Amy said, laughing again.
«Not this time, honey. And it's not the only thing that will be choking around here.»
«You can say that again,» Brent said as Kirk lifted the platter lid and they saw what lay steaming on the plate.
«Yummy,» Amy said. «I could eat a horse.»
«Hang on,» Kirk said. «That's what's for dinner.»
The hospital was quiet. Dinner had long since passed. Amy was with Kirk and Brent in their room watching a rerun of The Longest Day on television. The troops were beginning to land. Sirens were wailing, guns were firing, artillery was booming through the small speaker.
Brent was idly sketching on a pad of drawing paper.
A tooth paste commercial came on the tube and the sirens continued to wail.
«What do you suppose that is?» asked Amy.
«Just a fire, I guess,» Brent replied, doodling on the paper with his drawing pencil.
«Shhh,» said Kirk. «I love toothpaste commercials. I can hardly hear the line about whiter than white with you two gabbing away.»
«They sound awful close,» said Amy.
«They sure do,» Brent replied.
A commercial for soda came on.
«It sounds like action at the emergency ward,» Kirk said.
«Big action, from the sound of it,» Brent replied. «There's more than one siren out there, that's for sure.»
«I hope it's nothing too serious,» Amy said. «The sirens always make me kind of jittery.»
«Why don't we wander down and see,» Kirk suggested. «No one would care at this hour.»
«I don't know, Kirk,» Amy said. «It scares me. Besides, we'd be leaving Brent alone.»
«That's okay, Amy. I wouldn't mind. I'm curious too. Maybe you could find out what the excitement is,» Brent said.
«I still don't know.»
«Come on, Amy. No harm. We won't get into anybody's way. We'll just peek through the doors and psych out what's going on.»
«Go ahead. I've got the movie to watch,» Brent said. «I don't mind being alone.»
«I don't like it, Kirk.»
The sounds of the sirens continued to pile up against the window and creep into the room like fog.
«Just for a minute. Just to check on what's going on.»
«Okay, Kirk,» Amy said. She stood up and wrapped her bathrobe close around her. She slid her bare feet into her slippers.
«We'll be right back, Brent,» she said. «I can guarantee we won't be long.»
Kirk and Amy left the room. The commercials were over. Brent returned to watching the invasion of Normandy.
The halls were empty. Down to the right of the room the two night nurses were conversing quietly. Kirk and Amy sneaked away in the other direction toward the service elevator. They pushed the elevator button and Amy watched as the arrow worked itself up from the ground floor to number six. The door opened and flooded the dim alcove with bright light.
Kirk took Amy's arm and put both crutches under his other arm. The doors hissed closed behind them. Kirk leaned against the wall and rested.
«Which floor is Emergency on?» Amy asked.
«One,» replied Kirk.
Amy pushed the «One» button and the elevator lurched and began to descend.
«I think we ought to go back. I don't want to be in the way,» Amy said.
«We won't be in the way. We won't even go in, just peek through the door.»
The elevator came to a stop and the doors hissed open again. The first-floor hallway was very dim. Except for the emergency ward at the other end of the hospital, there were only offices and receptionists and gift shops and outpatient units on the first floor. In the silence, the sirens still wailed from outside the building.
«It must be something pretty big from the sound of it. I wonder what could have happened.»
Amy and Kirk walked cautiously through the corridors toward the sound of the sirens. They turned a corner and saw the bright lights of the emergency ward beneath the door at the end of the hallway. Under the double swinging door, shadows crossed and recrossed in the light.
«Let's go back,» Amy suggested again.
«No way. We're this far. I can't go back now without checking.»
They moved down the hallway until they stood just outside the swinging doors. The sirens continued, and now Amy and Kirk heard the sound of running footsteps and crying and moans and doors slamming.
Kirk pushed against the right of the two doors, swinging it slightly open. He and Amy leaned forward to look.
They squinted from the brightness of the glare.
The scene through the door was horrible. Slumped bodies were in every free chair. Kids leaned against the walls. Nurses and doctors and residents in white rushed from person to person. Heads were bandaged, blood ran down cheeks, two boys lay writhing on the floor. Amy saw a piece of bone sticking through the skin of a young girl's arm.
«More help here,» one doctor yelled, and a nurse rushed from one bleeding teenager to another.
The outside doors of the emergency ward opened and the sound of the sirens swept loudly into the room. Four more teenagers entered, three of them helping the fourth to walk. Two ambulance attendants carried a stretcher with a sixteen-year-old girl on it. She was unconscious.
Amy turned away from the door and looked into the dimness of the long hallway that stretched away from her in the opposite direction from the emergency ward.
«God, Kirk, what's going on?» she asked.
«I don't know. It's crazy. I'm going in to find out.»
Amy turned to grab his arm. «No, don't.»
«I want to. No one will notice one more kid in there. Stay here.»
Kirk pushed through the door and it swung shut behind him. Amy stood alone in the hall. She couldn't block out the sound of the sirens and the moaning and crying, although she tried covering her ears with her hands.
She pushed the door open and followed.
Kirk was standing, leaning on his crutches just inside the door. Amy stood beside him. If anything, the scene was even worse now they had entered into it.
«God, let's do something! We can't just stand here and not help,» Amy said.
«We can't do anything,» Kirk said.
A girl Amy's age was standing against the far wall screaming. A doctor stuck her with a needle and she seemed to crumple almost immediately. The doctor moved on to a boy whose shirt was covered with blood. A nurse stopped and straightened the fallen girl's legs.
There must have been thirty kids in there, all of them bleeding, all of them hurt.
Near where Kirk and Amy were standing, a young girl was sitting in a chair. She leaned forward and held her head in her arms. There were cuts above her elbow, but they were bandaged already. Blood was seeping through the gauze.
Amy went over to her and squatted down next to the chair.
«What happened?» she asked. Kirk moved over and stood behind Amy.
«Oh, God. I don't know. The bus turned over.»
«What bus? Where were you going?» Kirk asked.
«On a trip, a trip to a concert from church. The bus went over the side of the road and flipped. God, the glass flew all over. John had his arm through a window. All the bodies crashed down.» The girl started to cry.
Amy reached out and put her arm around the girl's shoulders.
«It was so dark. It was all black. I couldn't find the way out. It was so awful. I kept cutting myself. I don't remember…»
«It's all right now,» Amy said. «It's all over. Everyone will be all right. Everybody's being taken care of.»
«Oh, God,» the girl sighed. «I don't know…»
«It's okay. Look, everybody's getting their cuts all fixed up.»
The doctors and nurses still rushed like mad people from patient to patient. There was blood on the chairs and blood on the floor.
Amy dabbed at the blood leaking from under the bandage on the girl's arm. Then she noticed a small trickle of thick, half-congealed blood flowing slowly down the girl's hair, along her neck. Amy reached her Kleenex up and tried to wipe that away too.
«It's so stupid, so awful…» the girl said and began to cry again.
Amy started to cry too. She looked up and saw the chaotic rush of doctors and nurses, the hurt and crying kids, the bloodstained bandages.
Kirk put a hand on Amy's shoulder. «Let's go,» he said.
Amy looked up at him. Tears were still running down her cheeks, although she made no noise. Kirk was pale.
«Let's go,» he said. «We can't do anything here. We'll get in the way. The doctors will do just fine without us.»
Amy turned back to the sobbing teenage girl and put a hand out. Kirk tugged persistently at Amy's shoulder.
Amy gazed again across the room. «I'm going to stay. Maybe I can do something.»
«We've got to forget it, Amy. There's nothing we can do. No one's hurt bad here. They'll be fine.»
He pulled at the sleeve of her bathrobe. Amy gave in and Kirk maneuvered her through the swinging doors. They were silent all the way up in the elevator and down the hall to the room.
The television was off. Brent had put away his sketching materials and was reading again. He looked up when they entered the room. Amy's eyes were red and puffy. Brent could tell immediately that she was upset.
«What was it?» he asked.
«Wouldn't you know, it was a real mess down there,» Kirk replied. «Some bus with a bunch of kids going to a concert turned over. There must have been thirty of forty of them, all cut up. It was a real horror scene all right.»
«Oh, it was awful, Brent,» Amy said. «I felt so sorry for them all. The doctors couldn't seem to get to everybody fast enough. I just felt I wanted to do something to help. There was blood all over and everybody was crying and all. I should have stayed. I could have helped out the nurses or something.»
«Right. Just like Scarlett O'Hara during the siege of Atlanta. Listen, Amy, don't let it shake you up. They'll all be fine. We couldn't have done anything much. We just would have been in the way.»
Amy turned on him. «You just don't care is all, Kirk. You just close it all out of your safe little world and say, 'No sweat.' I don't care what you say, we should have stayed. Sometimes I wonder whether you'd help anybody, you're so wrapped up in yourself.»
«Listen, Amy…» Brent began. He didn't like to hear them fighting. It gave him a weird feeling.
«No, it's all right,» Kirk said. «Let her think what she wants. Amy, those kids down there are probably a hell of a lot better off right now than any of us up here, and that's no crap. So don't come on righteous and Florence Nightingale with me. We have enough problems of our own without getting tied in with a lot of cuts and bruises downstairs. The whole thing gave me the crawls.»
«Yeah, okay, Kirk. I'm sorry I blew up at you. But I still think we should have stayed.»
«No way. You don't need that kind of hassle and neither do I. The screwed-up world out there can go to hell in a bucket for all I care. There's no way we're going to stop it single-handed.»
Amy turned to Brent. «Tell me, Brent. Is the world always like that out there? It seems so far away sometimes, I forget, I guess.»
«No, Amy,» Brent said. «It's not all bad.»
«Sometimes it seems safer here with you and Kirk. Sometimes I almost don't want to think about leaving.»

Cruising the English canals on a traditional narrowboat
Celebrate Shakespeare's birthday in Stratford-upon-Avon
This year will be mark the 450th birthday of England's greatest poet and playwright, William Shakespeare.
The entire English nation will be celebrating during 'Shakespeare Week' from 17th – 23rd March 2014 and there will be special celebrations all year but especially during March and April.
On 26th and 27th April 2014, the town will celebrate with a weekend of spectacular events, including special performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Boating holiday specialists Outdoor Travel Pty Ltd, based in Bright, Victoria are offering you the change to join in the celebrations and visit Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford upon Avon in March or April aboard a self-skippered traditional narrowboat on the Stratford Canal and River Avon cruising right to the centre of Stratford.
They offer a range of narrowboats comfortably catering for from 2 to 12 passengers.
Cruise hire starts every Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday from 15th March 2014.
Prices for a 7-night cruise start from £549 for a 2-berth narrowboat, £749 for a 4-berth, £899 for a 6-berth and £999 for a barge carrying up to 12 passengers

Suggested Stratford-Upon-Avon 7-night round-trip cruise from Alvechurch Marina (which is easily reached from Birmingham Airport or International Railway Station):
After a full introduction to your barge and instruction on how to navigate and managed the locks, cruise to Kings Norton Junction and down the 25-mile Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. After negotiating the unusual guillotine stop lock (one of 110 locks on this route) you come to the fascinating Brandwood Tunnel, the only one on this route. The canal winds through green outer suburbs of Birmingham to Shirley, where there is an electrically operated drawbridge beside a lovely pub.
The first ten miles are lock free but then there is a flight of locks at Lapworth taking your barge up the levels to match the contours of the rolling countryside. Once through here the locks are spaced out a regular intervals until Wilmcote where there is a flight of eleven. From Wilmcote cruise to Stratford where the canal meets the River Avon in Bancroft Basin. It's a popular site for visitors from around the world visiting the town and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre which overlooks the river.
Mary Arden's House is only a short walk from Bridge 59 at Wilmcote.
One fascinating feature to look out for is the footbridges on the Stratford Canal which were built in two halves with a 1 inch gap so that the rope can pass through when boats were towed by horses. This gap meant that the boatman didn't need to untie the horse as he walked the towpath.
The narrowboats are easy to operate, have a well equipped kitchen, shower/toilets and all bedding, even wet weather gear…it is England after all!
In the heart of rural Warwickshire there are lots of places to moor overnight and restaurants, pubs and villages to explore along the route

The true story of a pair of Spotted Eagle Owls that nested in a pot plant on a balcony in bustling Johannesburg. It is both a visual and personal recording of Allan and Tracy sharing their living space with these owls as they successfully raise their chicks and take them to adulthood.
