Lemons, Apples and oranges are pretty far forward, when it comes to Vitamin C content. Not for nothing is recommended in case of cold lemon water.
However, not only fruits and citrus fruits offer protection against nasty colds, also the current season vegetables such as Kale are good sources of Vitamin C.
That’s why Vitamin C is so important
Vitamin C is known as ascorbic acid are known and one of the most important vitamins for the support of the human cell metabolism and immune system.
It captures free radicals and thus has an antioxidant effect and oxidative cell damage in the body is reduced.
Vitamin C also has a Central role in the formation of collagen (connective tissue, cartilage and bone), carnitine and hormones.
In addition, it promotes iron absorption and inhibits the cancer-causing nitrosamine formation.
This autumn vegetable strengthens the immune system
In fact, some vegetables have even a much greater Vitamin C content than Apples, and Grapefruit.
So, for example, at home the cabbage can keep vegetables such as Brussels sprouts or Kale well with most citrus fruits, or you will exceed them significantly.

4. Field salad
In fact, it creates the salad in the Vitamin-Check all of the other salads to hang out – no other type of Lettuce contains as much Vitamin C as he.
Lettuce is rich in Vitamin A, phosphorus, Calcium and folic acid and yet another thing that makes the salad healthy: Iodine.
In terms of Slimming, the field salad is a real all-rounder, because 100 grams of it contains just 14 calories.
Undefeated, however, is its Vitamin C value, because it contains about 35 mg of Vitamin C per 100 g.
5. Brussels sprouts
The Kale is a very nutrient – and vitamin-rich winter vegetable and belongs to the family of Brassicaceae. The tender cabbage is preserved thanks to the high in vital substances, a salary from colds and the flu.
In addition, he is a good vegetable source of Protein and protects against cancer-causing.
Brussels sprouts contains as an additional plus point of secondary plant substances that can help in Arthritis, Asthma and even autism.

The 100th edition of the Tour de France will begin in the one region of France never traversed by Tour bicycles: Corsica. The stage takes the place of the Tour's usual prologue time trial. The good news for the sprinters who usually enter the Tour's official "Stage 1" in the yellow jersey is that the Corsica route features plenty of flat land to cruise.
Don't expect the 213-kilometer race to be dull, however. For starters, the views off the coast of the island floating in the Mediterranean southeast of France and west of Italy should be breathtaking. According to SB Nation's cycling blog Podium Cafe, the racing may be harrowing as well.
Once the pomp and circumstance is over with, this should be a typical opening stage: peloton in full cry, sprint teams all-in, and of course crashes. Keep your fingers crossed on the latter. Maybe those curvy coastal roads won't be as tricky as they appear.
With just one climb -- a category four -- along the route, whoever takes the yellow jersey first will likely be a sprinter. Viewers will want to keep a close eye on points classification favorites such as Peter Sagan of Team Cannondale, Mark Cavendish of Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Andre Greipel of Lotto-Belisol.

How the Systems Work
Diverse Approaches to Real-time Generation
There are three different approaches to building a real-time Ethernet solution
- Based on TCP/IP: Protocols are based on standard TCP/IP layers with real-time mechanisms embedded in the top layer. These solutions usually have a limited performance range.
- Standard Ethernet: Protocols are implemented on top of standard Ethernet layers. These solutions benefit from Ethernet evolution without further investment.
- Modified Ethernet: The standard Ethernet layer, the Ethernet mechanism and infrastructure are modified. These solutions put performance before standard compliance.
One crucial difference of the various Industrial Ethernet systems compared within this publication lies in how they organize data transfer and how they manage to deliver real-time performance. EtherCAT and SERCOS III communicate using a summation frame method: in each cycle, data for all network nodes is sent in one telegram that travels from one node to another along the ring topology of the network, also collecting node responses on the way. In contrast to that, the single telegram procedure used by the other systems works by sending individual telegrams to the nodes, which also respond individually in separate telegrams.
The systems use three different mechanisms for network access and data synchronization:
- A master controls the timing on the network. In POWERLINK environments, the master authorizes individual nodes to send data. In EtherCAT and SERCOS III networks, the transfer of summation frame telegrams follows the master‘s clock.
- PROFINET IRT uses synchronized switches to control communication.
- EtherNet/IP employs CIP Sync to distribute IEEE 1588 compliant time information throughout the network.

Relationships among vine water status, soil texture, and vine size were observed in four Ontario Pinot noir vineyards in 2008 and 2009. The vineyards were divided into water status zones using geographic information systems to map the seasonal mean leaf water potential (Ψ) and cane pruning weight (vine size). Leaf Ψ zones were confirmed using k-means clustering. Both seasons were cooler and wetter than average and the range of leaf Ψ defining the water status zones was narrow (−0.59 to −0.95 MPa across all vineyards). Yield, vine size, crop load, anthocyanins, and phenols had the highest coefficients of variability. Higher yields, berry weights, titratable acidity, anthocyanins, and color were occasionally associated with low water status zones. There were no berry composition variables with differences between vine size zones in all four vineyards. Higher yields, cluster numbers, and berry weights were frequently associated with high vine size zones. Principal components analysis separated the vineyards but did not create clusters based on leaf Ψ or vine size. There were notable correlations between vineyard and grape composition variables, and spatial trends were qualitatively related for many of the variables. Significant r2 values that suggested inverse relationships were found in 2008 for leaf Ψ versus anthocyanins, color intensity, and phenols and for vine size versus anthocyanins, while in 2009 there were significant r2 values for soil moisture versus anthocyanins and color intensity that likewise suggested inverse relationships. This study showed that there is potential for using geomatic techniques to understand variability in vineyards, but that erratic weather in eastern North America presents a challenge for understanding the driving forces of such variability.

In-game advertiser NextPlay eyes AI, crypto payments
Firm's market cap recorded at $177m
Thai digital advertising company NextPlay Technologies has made a number of big-money acquisitions this year in a bid to integrate payments and artificial intelligence (AI) into its existing in-game advertising system, its chief executive said.
NextPlay is the recently established parent company of the Thai video game advertising company HotPlay, which inserts ads and coupon codes into gaming "in a less intrusive way" than pop-ups or other methods often employed by free-to-play games.
The company's ads and coupon codes can be displayed on in-game objects such as crates, snacks and walls in its platform.
"Usually for these types of ads, you have to talk to the game developers, sign a deal, and have them manually insert the ads into the game and the whole process can take a year," said chief executive Nithinan Boonyawattanapisut.
"But we can cut this short by having the brands inserted into the game in real time through our system. We are kind of like a mix between Facebook and Google programmatic ads and product placements you see in movies."
In June, HotPlay secured a listing on the Nasdaq by completing a reverse merger, whereby HotPlay bought 80% of the US-based online travel company Monaker Group, which was already listed on the stock exchange.
It then transferred ownership of HotPlay to Monaker Group and changed the name of Monaker to NextPlay Technologies, which is now the parent company of HotPlay.
NextPlay, listed as NXTP, now has a market capitalisation of about US$177 million and trades at $2.03 per share as of Aug 31, down from $2.24 per share when the merger took place on June 30.
Ms Nithinan said the company must prove to old and new investors how it will transition Monaker from a travel sector company hit by the pandemic-induced travel downturn into a broadly defined digital advertising group with sites on real estate and other sectors beyond gaming.
NextPlay is now on an acquisition spree, recently purchasing for $5 million the company Make It Games, whose technology promises to considerably cut the animation costs of developing video games by utilising artificial intelligence.
"Animations can cost as much as 50-60% of the total cost of making a game and are very labour intensive," Ms Nithinan said. "But with AI you can quickly create these animations without requiring a team of animators to sit there developing each animation individually."
This year the company also purchased a Puerto Rican bank, International Financial Enterprise Bank (IFEB), for about $14 million and will rename it NextBank in order to operate online banking services with a cryptocurrency component.
Ms Nithinan said that due to the broad charter of the bank, NextPlay can shift its focus more towards accepting cryptocurrency payments.
According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, NextPlay acquired 51% of Reinhart TV AG, a Zurich-based software company that provides design and software development services to telecoms and digital content owners.
The lavish spending should come as no surprise because NextPlay's largest shareholder is Thippaporn Ahriyavraromp, head of the massive property development company DTGO and heiress of the Chearavanont family, owners of the Charoen Pokphand Group and Thailand's richest family, according to Forbes.
While the Thai economy suffered its worst economic depression in decades, the Chearavanont family patriarchs grew their wealth by $2.9 billion over the past 15 months.
Ms Nithinan used to work as head of the gaming operation at True Corporation, a unit of CP Group, before founding HotPlay in 2016. She attracted the eye and chequebook of Ms Thippaporn, allowing the humble tech firm to rapidly expand through ambitious acquisitions.

The last Christian detained in an earlier crackdown by Saudi authorities has been released, according to a Christian human rights organization.
After nearly four months in prison, Samkutty Varghese was released from a Saudi prison and left Saudi Arabia at 2 a.m. on Thursday, July 21, according to a report received Friday morning by Washington, DC-based International Christian Concern (ICC). After his official deportation, Varghese arrived safely in India.
International Christian Concern is very pleased with the release of Samkutty Varghese, and asks everyone to continue their support for increased transparency and religious freedom within Saudi Arabia, ICC stated.
In addition, we urge the new Ambassador to the United States, Prince Turkey al-Faisal, to take up the cause of freedom in Saudi Arabia and to take seriously Saudis Country of Particular Concern status, it added.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) which recommended that Saudi Arabia be designated a country of particular concern, or CPC, since the organizations inception in 1999 claimed in its newly released annual report on international religious freedom that the government of Saudi Arabia was still engaged in systematic, ongoing and egregious violations of the right to freedom of religion and belief.
Despite the State Departments contention it its 2004 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom that there were slight improvements in Saudi government efforts to foster religious tolerance in Saudi society, the report again concluded that freedom of religion does not exist in Saudi Arabia, the USCIRF stated.
The Saudi government continues to engage in an array of severe violations of human rights as part of its official repression of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief, it added.
According to ICC, Vargheses arrest on Mar. 22 led to a later crackdown that involved standard police forces and Saudis special religious police, the Muttawa. During the crackdown, Saudi authorities reportedly ransacked homes and destroyed religious materials found in the victims possession.
ICC reported that many saw the crackdown as a response to allegations against the United States for desecrating the Quran at the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

Miley says of Taylor’s Bad Blood crew:
I’m not trying to be in the Squad. None of my friends are famous and not because of any other reason than I just like real people living real lives, because I’m inspired by them.
Taylor, whose friends range from Actresses to models to Singers has revealed her support for females doing it big in every Industry.
Recently, she came head to head with Nicki Minaj on Twitter, when the latter tweeted something Taylor felt had been directed to her.
Miley was not on Team Nicki when she gave her opinion regarding the matter, leading Nicki to confront her at the VMAs held yesterday.
Miley Cyrus clearly does not have problems in the friend department, but we wonder if her real friends with real lives sometimes have an opinion about her bizarre outfits/behavior.

Russian Embassy in Berlin, Germany – Photo: GETTY IMAGES
According to AFP news agency, in a statement on April 25, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that it had summoned the German ambassador to Moscow and handed the German ambassador a note “declaring not to welcome 40 employees of the diplomatic missions Germany in Russia”.
The term “persona non grata” refers to a state that does not want the presence of one or more persons sent by another state. Individuals who are declared “persona non grata” usually have to leave their home country, which means an order of deportation.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said it had “strongly reacted to the head of the German diplomatic mission in Moscow, because of the unfriendly decision of the German Government”.
In response, Berlin said Russia’s decision to expel 40 German diplomats was “unjustified”.
On April 4, Germany declared 40 Russian diplomats “unwelcome”, saying they must leave Germany for Russia within five days.
The Russian Foreign Ministry explained that the expulsion of diplomats was a reciprocal act because these countries had previously expelled Russian diplomats.
More than 300 Russian diplomats have been expelled by European countries so far since Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, according to Reuters news agency.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that the recent wave of expulsions of diplomats by Western countries threatens the maintenance of diplomatic relations between these countries with Russia.
EU member states expel Russian diplomats and embassy staff on charges of espionage, or “national security reasons”, according to AFP.
In a related development, according to the RIA news agency, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Moscow may confiscate assets in Russia in response to “unfriendly actions” towards the country.
Also on April 25, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov had a meeting with US Ambassador to the country John Sullivan to discuss issues in bilateral relations.

Think “scientific research” and one may imagine doctors, Ph.D.s or technicians toiling away in the lab. But many people don’t realize that nurses do research too.
Laura Perry, communications director for the UCLA School of Nursing, and Amy Albin, senior media representative for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, spoke with Karen Grimley, chief nursing executive at UCLA Health and assistant dean in the nursing school, about why the concept of nurses as researchers may be surprising to some, although the work they do is vital to improving the health and well-being of patients.
The discussion coincided with the 15th annual Research and Evidence-based Practice Conference being hosted today and Wednesday on campus by the UCLA Health Nursing Practice Research Council and the UCLA School of Nursing. Geared toward clinicians, researchers and educators, the popular conference is designed to showcase ways to improve patient outcomes through science-based best practices and to provide opportunities for professional networking and education.
What is the history of nurses as researchers?
It started with the mother of nursing — Florence Nightingale. She was a renaissance woman as it related to health care in the 1850s. Her work was all-encompassing and based in research. She measured illness and infection rates among wounded soldiers in the Crimean War and used those results to petition the British government to improve conditions, first, for the soldiers and then for public health in all of England. Her book, “Notes on Nursing,” tells where and how the research was birthed.
What gets you excited about nursing research?
The excitement and passion for me is when someone has that “aha” moment. Maybe they don’t think it’s one at first, but when you discuss the idea, it grows into a thesis statement, and then it’s a question they want to solve. Research creates a very synergistic, dynamic environment where you are forever promoting care, health and wellness.
What barriers or obstacles still face nurse researchers?
It’s us. Nurses have great ideas and see things at the bedside that need research. But most of the time we don’t perceive ourselves as scientists and that we have the ability to bring their ideas to our internal groups — like the Nursing Research Practice Council or someone at the School of Nursing.
Nursing leadership needs to be cultivating that understanding with the nurse at the bedside or in the clinic and help those nurses take an idea and grow it into a research project. We need to mentor and coach those nurses, and that is a big priority for me in the upcoming year.
Evidence-based nursing research is a rapidly growing field. Why now?
Evidence-based nursing research has taken off over the past few years because there is a groundswell of interest by communities and the government as it relates to care of patient populations. That’s where nursing spends its time. Nursing is focused on caring for people. And with the Affordable Care Act, we are now very focused on prevention. That’s nursing’s wheelhouse.
What topics are nurses researching?
The way nurses are involved in research is two-fold. Pure nursing research looks at practice and ways to improve nursing activities, interventions or approaches to education that enhance professional practice. Examples of this could be looking at hospital-acquired infections, central line infections or pressure ulcers that patients get when lying down for long periods of time.
The other type of research is using their expertise as a nurse and participating with an intra-professional group of people around a patient population, an illness or an injury. An example of this is studying the way that a team works together to resuscitate a patient during a code blue [emergency].
How does nursing research benefit patients and the health care field?
Research can help reduce the length of stay in hospitals and costs as well as improve patient outcomes. It also helps maintain normalcy for the patient. For example, for patients experiencing delirium, nursing research led to a survey tool to assess patients and inform our practice. Another study looked at ways we can help improve sleep in the hospital because sleep is restorative.
The UCLA School of Nursing has a strong research foundation. How you are collaborating with UCLA Health?
We want to bring the strengths of both the School of Nursing and UCLA Health together and promote nursing. We want to bring ideas from the medical center and work with the academic side to help us design research projects that will ultimately promote better care. We also want to get nurse-practitioner students into clinics across UCLA Health. We have over 160 clinics that could really benefit from understanding the role that NPs play in their practice.
What is the future of nursing research?
There are hip, trendy things going on across health care, and we should be leading that. We need to find ways to partner with the people we care for and the people who care with us, whether it be at the bedside, in the clinic or in the community. If we stay true to our roots, nursing’s role is to advocate for our patients, especially vulnerable populations and people who cannot speak for themselves. It centers on ensuring that care is coordinated. We should be using the knowledge of our environment and the people we serve for our research ideas.

Tuition increases lower at 4-year universities
COLUMBIA --- Students paying for college at South Carolina's 12 traditional four-year schools are facing lower tuition increases.
Only two schools -- South Carolina State University and Coastal Carolina University -- increased tuition for the fall by more than 4 percent. Last year, every school raised tuition by at least 4.5 percent, with several going significantly higher.
Officials at the universities told The State that the decrease in state money given to the colleges was smaller than expected. The decreases in funding were just 5 percent to 8 percent after threats of cuts of up to 25 percent.
Another factor also likely contributed to the lower tuition increases. State Sen. Hugh Leatherman suggested in a letter to university presidents in May that they keep tuition increases under 3.95 percent.
The Florence Republican has a seat on the Budget and Control Board and is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

Marked Strengthening in the U.S. Manufacturing Outlook
Since late 2016 when the signs of economic resurgence first appeared, the global economy has come a long way. The world is now experiencing a synchronous rebound in economic growth after years of post-financial crisis malaise. Every major region is enjoying stable performance. A number of regions, including the Eurozone, are growing above the expectations of forecasters. The global economic rebound, tax reform law, and the resumption of a dollar depreciation that began in early 2017 influences the MAPI Foundation’s outlook for the best U.S. manufacturing growth performance in more than a decade.
The current forecast represents a measurable jump from the November 2017 outlook. In fact, it is a near doubling of our projection for average U.S. manufacturing growth for the 2018-2021 period from 1.5% to 2.8%. While seemingly dramatic, this reflects our expectation of a return to pre-financial crisis growth rates for the factory sector. Such performance has long been impeded by the 2008 panic, the Great Recession, and the weak and risk-laden years of global performance that followed. A confluence of bullish forces is catalyzing the long-awaited return to historically normal manufacturing growth.
- The pace of capital equipment spending, a key driver of manufacturing profitability, has been accelerating. After growing by a sluggish 3.5% during 2015 and then contracting by 3.4% during 2016, equipment investment growth accelerated to 4.8% during 2017. Capital spending growth for the third and fourth quarters of 2017 averaged a strong 11.1%.
- The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 lowers the corporate tax rate and allows businesses to more quickly write off the cost of equipment investments. Over the short-term, both are likely to support and strengthen what have already been positive U.S. manufacturing growth trends.
- After plateauing in October and November of 2017, the dollar has resumed the depreciation that began in the early months of 2017. This is a significant boon for the price competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers in global markets that have become increasingly important for their profitability.
- While the correction in the high-flying stock market was long overdue, the market pullback that began in late January has been particularly rapid and volatile, adding a dose of uncertainty to an otherwise bright economic picture.
- The measurable rise in the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, now at the highest level since the early months of 2014, has arguably been the primary catalyst for the equity market decline.
- The interest rate rise, catalyzed to some extent by vague hints that low inflation might be on the cusp of rising, has been a reminder that eventually financial conditions will tighten.
- The rise in interest rates and the return of significant stock market volatility creates both uncertainty and concern about the near-term path of monetary policy, particularly as the new Federal Reserve Chairman assumes his position. If the Fed reads the rise in bond yields as signifying that they are behind in their efforts to adjust the short end of the yield curve properly, then a more hawkish policy than expected may be deemed appropriate.
- While showing modest signs of improvement, labor productivity growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector remains sluggish, constraining longer-term output growth prospects even as strengthening global performance and tax reform catalyze considerable improvement over the next few years.
Forecast of U.S. Economic and Manufacturing Growth
The MAPI Foundation projects that between 2018 and 2021 average annual U.S. GDP growth will be 2.5%, a significant improvement over the 2.1% average growth that we projected in our November 2017 report. Our brighter forecast for overall growth has been especially buoyed by the stronger outlook for capital equipment investment, a GDP component of importance to manufacturing prospects given the large population of machinery and machine parts producers in the domestic U.S. manufacturing base.
We currently project that capital equipment spending growth between 2018 and 2021 will average 6.8%. This is a measurable acceleration from the 3.7% average that we projected in our November 2017 report.
The improved capital spending forecast is spurred in part by our expectation that widely improved global economic conditions, and business tax reform will motivate executives to put at least some of a large stock of dormant cash to work. Over time, if equipment investment spending continues to accelerate it should result in at least a moderate improvement in the sluggish pace of manufacturing labor productivity growth, as demonstrated by MAPI research.
As a further boost for U.S. manufacturing prospects, we now expect the pace of annual export growth to average 6% between 2018 and 2021, still modest by historical standards but nearly double the 3.2% average that we projected in November. If the dollar continues its persistent fall, export growth will likely accelerate further. For most of the forecast period, however, the pace of import growth is expected to exceed the pace of export growth. Thus, trade pressures will remain an issue for the manufacturing sector even as economic conditions improve.
Capital spending and exports are the two key drivers of U.S. manufacturing demand and profitability. With meaningful improvement in the outlooks for both, the prospect is for U.S. factory sector growth to be the strongest in more than a decade. We currently expect U.S. manufacturing sector growth to average 2.8% between 2018 and 2021, nearly double the 1.5% average growth rate that was projected.
Buoyed by a widening global economic rebound, a falling dollar, and the passage of tax reform, the MAPI Foundation’s current outlook for U.S. manufacturing growth points to the best output performance in more than a decade. Stronger capital spending and export activity have translated into a manufacturing growth forecast of 2.8% for the 2018-2021 period, nearly double the 1.5% pace projected in our most recent, report.
A tightening of financial conditions in the form of rising bond yields and the rapid correction of the inflated stock market is the key uncertainty in the current outlook, both as it pertains to Federal Reserve interest rate policy and more broadly to U.S. economic growth.

Mosque men still held under terrorism act
The men were detained during an operation involving 150 police officers at the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London at 2am on Monday.
Two north African men, aged 48 and 38, were released under the Terrorism Act yesterday but they were still being detained over alleged immigration offences.
On Thursday detectives said a further three of the men were no longer suspected of involvement in terrorism.
A 40-year-old was released under the Terrorism Act and then re-arrested for alleged possession of a CS gas canister and immigration offences. He remains in custody.
A 22-year-old eastern European man was also released under the Act but was re-arrested and held in custody over alleged immigration matters.
A 23-year-old north African man was released with no further action by police.
The men still being questioned on suspicion of terrorism-related offences are north Africans aged 29 and 31.
In the raid police carried out a meticulous search of the mosque, where the controversial hook-handed cleric Abu Hamza preaches, and two adjacent buildings.
Officers discovered a stun gun, an imitation weapon which fires blanks and a CS gas canister.
Large numbers of passports, identity cards and credit cards were also found.
Many local Muslims have been angered that their place of worship has become the focus of police and media scrutiny.
But it has been linked to "shoe-bomber" Richard Reid, who faces life imprisonment when he is sentenced next week for trying to blow up a Miami-bound jet, and Frenchman Zacharias Moussaoui, the alleged 20th hijacker on September 11.
The police operation - codenamed Mermant - saw around 150 officers in body armour, including anti-terrorist officers, using battering rams to enter the building.
Senior officers said they were looking for specific individuals and the raid was linked to the discovery of the deadly poison ricin at a flat in nearby Wood Green on January 5. No chemical substances were found at the mosque.
Hamza condemned the raid and accused the police and Government of adopting "Rambo-style" tactics.

California predicts mandatory solar panel installations will add nearly $10,000 to the upfront cost of a home — money that will be recouped through energy savings.
Solar panels will be a required feature on new houses in California, after the state’s Building Standards Commission gave final approval to a housing rule that’s the first of its kind in the United States.
Set to take effect in 2020, the new standard includes an exemption for houses that are often shaded from the sun. It also includes incentives for people to add a high-capacity battery to their home’s electrical system, to store the sun’s energy.
“These provisions really are historic and will be a beacon of light for the rest of the country,” said commissioner Kent Sasaki, according to The Mercury News. “[It’s] the beginning of substantial improvement in how we produce energy and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.”

Alaba confirms 'difficult' decision to leave Bayern amid links to Real Madrid
"I have made the decision to try something new after this season and to leave the club. It was a difficult decision. I have been here for 13 years. I made so many memories here," Alaba said, according to ESPN FC's Stephan Uersfeld.
"I have not decided what is next for me. I decided to seek a new challenge. That's why it took time. ... I have five, six, seven years left in my career. That's why I decided to try something new.
"It's no secret my management is in touch with several clubs. I will focus on my task here and will remain in contact with my management."
Alaba's departure was widely expected after he failed to reach an agreement with Bayern over a new contract. In recent months, he's been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The versatile 28-year-old, who is capable of playing in central defense, left-back, and even in midfield, reportedly accepted a four-year contract in January to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.
Alaba is fresh off helping Bayern capture their sixth major trophy in a year after winning the FIFA Club World earlier this month.
The Austrian international has won nine Bundesliga titles, two Champions League trophies, and dozens of other major awards since joining the Bavarians in 2010.

One of life’s minor disappointments is taking a book out of the library and not having a date due card in the back that can be used for a bookmark or other purposes.
Actor Kirk Douglas was born and grew up in Amsterdam. I moved here in 1978, about 40 years after he moved out. Since there were many old books in our library, I thought I might come across his signature on an old date due card, but no matter how many books I checked, I never found one.
A librarian at Milam Junior High School in Tupelo, Miss., was luckier than I was. She found a date due card in “Steel’s English Fairy Tales” with Elvis Presley’s signature on it. She found it in 1956, nine years after Elvis had taken the book out when he was in seventh grade. Her find is the oldest Elvis signature in existence and very valuable.
I’ve recently begun collecting date due cards, not just ones with famous people’s names on them. Date due cards are one of the many casualties of computerization in libraries. Actually, they still exist, but they can hardly be called cards. They are slips of paper, spit out of a printer. Instead of individual cards for each book, the slip lists all of the books a person is borrowing. Like many things replaced by new technology, they are more efficient but also less interesting.
Nuggets of information
The date due card I am thinking of was made of card stock, not paper. The book’s title, author and Dewey Decimal information was printed or written on the top. The rest of the card contained lines with spaces to record the borrower’s name and the date the book was due to be returned. There were variations, but this is the card I remember most.
When a person borrowed a book, he or she had to sign each card. One thing I enjoyed doing when I borrowed a book from the Amsterdam Free Library in the past was to look down the list of previous borrowers. Because Amsterdam is a relatively small city, sometimes I would recognize a name and feel a sense of kinship with that person. While the slips of paper that replaced date due cards protect your privacy from other readers, they actually invade your privacy to a greater degree. Because libraries scan every book you read into a database, and because the Patriot Act and FISA allow the government to examine what you read, librarians have to turn the information over to the FBI if requested, although some librarians have refused to do so.
Apparently, autograph collectors never discovered date due cards as a source for their collections. I have searched in vain for collectors of date due cards and for date due cards for sale on the Internet. I did find one date due card for sale on eBay for 69 cents. However, it was of little interest since it had never been used.
Date due cards were often used for other things than they were intended for. Their main secondary usage was as a bookmark. Now that they have become literary artifacts, they have found other uses. Arizona artist Natalie Schorr has a wonderful series of art called Library People. Each drawing is done on an end page from a discarded library book. She doesn’t use a blank end page. Instead she draws the person on a page that has a date due card pocket or some other library ephemera. I hope some day to add one of her works to my collection.
In his story “Nicolette and Maribel,” Ricco Siasoco tells of a third way date due cards have been used. “Other times on the Esplanade, her sister Menchie or other kaibigan in the Philippines interrupted her thoughts, and she would then remove the Date Due card from the back of her library book and compose a list of 25 things to share with them about her quiet life in the States.”
The most interesting story about date due cards I have ever read, however, I found in an article by Carol Tarsitano in Illinois Periodicals Online. Ms. Tarsitano is program director at the Portage-Cragin Branch of the Chicago Public Library, which specializes in Polish language materials.
Letter from Poland
On one occasion the library received a letter “. . .from Poland with our book pocket and date due card enclosed. The man informed us that he had purchased a copy of one of [Czeslaw] Milosz’s works on the black market in Krakow, Poland. He regretted that he could not return the book to us since it had cost him a week’s salary.”
A man who would pay a week’s salary for a book, not to add to a rare book collection, simply to read it, is my kind of reader. The date due card he returned is one I would be proud to add to my collection.
