Robert Lewandowski scored 43 goals last season but is apparently unhappy at Bayern Munich... so could the striker be on his way to Real Madrid?
- Robert Lewandowski finished the season with 43 goals for Bayern Munich
- He scored 30 in the league but missed out to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the race for the Bundesliga Golden Boot
- It has led to comments of dissatisfaction from Lewandowski and his agent and claims team-mates didn't do enough to help him
- That has raised the possibility of the Pole moving to Real Madrid this summer
- At the very least, it seems like Bayern will have to increase his pay packet
Few footballers could be dissatisfied with the season Robert Lewandowski has just had.
The Polish striker has scored 43 goals, won a fifth Bundesliga title, and been voted player of the season.
Yet Lewandowski is no ordinary footballer and the 28-year-old feels he has every reason to complain this summer.
Robert Lewandowski has raised the possibility of leaving Bayern Munich this summer
The Polish striker won a fifth consecutive Bundesliga but missed out on the top-scorer award
Earlier this month, Bayern Munich's star striker launched a scathing attack on his team-mates, accusing them of lack of support on the final day of the Bundesliga season.
In the race to be crowned Germany's top scorer, Lewandowski was neck and neck with Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the last weekend, but failed to score in a 4-1 win over Freiburg.
Aubameyang walked away with the prize, and Lewandowski was left seething.
'I was irritated,' Lewandowski told Polish newspaper Super Express. 'I was very disappointed with the attitude of my team-mates.'
This week, the striker has raised the heat even more on his Bayern colleagues, after agent Maik Barthel echoed Lewandowski's complaints in an interview with kicker.
Lewandowski celebrates with his team-mates after scoring in Bayern's thrashing of Arsenal
Poland international Lewandowski scored a total of 43 goals last season and won the league
'Robert told me that he got no support, that the coach didn't ask everyone to support him,' said Barthel.
'I have never seen him so disappointed; he really hoped that the team would support him in trying to become top scorer.'
If there could have been any doubt of the subtext of the player's disappointment, Barthel dispelled it immediately, telling kicker that his client was 'watching closely' to see what Bayern did in the transfer market this summer.
The threat was clear: Lewandowski is ready to leave Munich if he feels undervalued.
Cue the inevitable wave of speculation across the footballing globe. Rumours are now flying that Lewandowski will be on his way to either Real Madrid or Manchester United by the time next season comes around.
The 28-year-old's agent has expressed dissatisfaction with his Bayern Munich team-mates
Lewandowski at Bayern
2014-15 49 games, 25 goals
2015-16 51 games, 42 goals
2016-17 47 games, 43 goals
TOTAL 147 games, 110 goals
Bundesliga 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17
German Cup 2015-16
German Super Cup 2016
It is worth taking such things with a pinch of salt. Given that the 28-year-old is complaining about a lack of quality among his fellow players, and a lack of success on the pitch, it is unlikely that he would choose to go to Manchester United.
At this point in time, such a move would still be a step down from Bayern.
Real Madrid is a more likely option, given that they could offer the Polish star more money and possibly more success than Bayern could.
If Cristiano Ronaldo makes good on his threat to leave Madrid this summer, moreover, then Real could be in the market for one of Europe's most gifted forwards.
All of this, of course, could simply be bluster. Barthel is a savvy agent, and the complaints and threats are reminiscent of a time when Lewandowski was pushing to leave Borussia Dortmund.
Keeping the rumour alive with some well timed moaning could simply be Barthel's way of securing his striker a lucrative new deal.
Lewandowski is already Bayern's top earner, with an estimated salary of around €15m (£13.2m) a year.
Lewandowski joined Bayern from rivals Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2014
The club, though, are reportedly ready to offer even bigger deals to any top players they are able to sign this summer, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez demanding around €25m (£22m) a year.
If that were to happen, Lewandowski would surely demand more money for himself, and his agent may simply be laying the groundwork for that particular negotiation.
The German sports press certainly seem to think so, having largely disregarded Barthel's comments. In the Munich Abendzeitung, it merited little more than a mention on Tuesday.
Bayern, though, should not underestimate Lewandowski's ill mood. His comments in the last 10 days have not come from nowhere.
In two years under Pep Guardiola, the Polish striker often complained that the tactical approach was starving him of space and scoring opportunities.

Lewandowski also complained that Pep Guardiola's tactical approach restricted his scoring
He had hoped that things would change under Carlo Ancelotti, but with the Italian too, Lewandowski has often been stuck somewhere between the No 9 and No 10 roles.
One thing, though, could blow all of those considerations out of the water.
Lewandowski would almost certainly be happy with his current pay package, his tactical role and even the support of his team mates, so long as he was guaranteed success in the Champions League.
That is what drove him to Bayern, and that, in the end, is what might drive him away. If Lewandowski feels he has a better chance of winning his first Champions League trophy at Real Madrid, he will move in a flash.
At 28, he is in his prime. He may feel that with the support of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro, nothing would be able to hold him back.

The Maryland House of Delegates has approved a transportation tax bill that will increase taxes on gasoline, as well as vehicle registration fees and mass transit fares.
The money is earmarked mainly for road, bridge and mass transit projects
A number of Republicans who opposed the bill, complained that Speaker Michael Busch locked the voting board before lawmakers could either cast their vote, change their vote on the bill, or explain how they voted to their colleagues.
Republicans asked for another vote.
House Speaker Michael Busch rejected the request, and the 43 Republicans in the chamber left the floor for a private conference.
Once they returned, Busch allowed any delegates who claim they had not voted to take their vote.
The bill was initially reported as approved by a vote of 78-56, but after Busch allowed other delegates to cast votes, the bill was approved by a vote of 76-63.
All 76 of the "yes" votes were Democrats.
Of the delegates who voted "no," 22 were Democrats and 41 were Republicans.
Washington County Republican Delegate Neil Parrott told reporters that Harford County Democrat Mary Dulany-James, who sits near him on the House floor, did not cast her vote, when Busch declared the vote closed.
He says Republicans felt that was unfair.
In the first vote Parrott was recorded as voting in favor of the bill, but in the final vote he was recorded as voting against the bill.
Parrott told WBAL News that it was never his intention to vote for the bill. However, he said he initially indicated that he voted in favor of the bill, because he wanted to prove that House Speaker Michael Busch and the Democrats were trying to manipulate the vote, by cutting off the vote, once they had enough votes to pass the bill.
Busch told his colleagues that every delegate had a chance to vote.Republicans spent the rest of Friday attempting to delay or extend votes on other bills on the legislative agenda including one to provide school construction funding for Baltimore City.
At one point Speaker Busch called for a break in the proceedings to introduce Baltimore Ravens' wide receiver Torrey Smith, who was visiting Annapolis.
Smith told delegates that he watched the debate on the gas tax, and said that he has respect for what lawmakers do.
The measure is a modified version of a bill unveiled by Governor Martin O'Malley earlier this month.
This bill now goes to the Senate which is expected to consider it in the final two weeks of the legislative session.
Estimates from the non-partisan Department of Legislative Services and House Republicans finds the bill will increase taxes on gasoline by at least 20-cents a gallon over the next four years.
The bill phases in a sales tax on gasoline over a four year period, unless Congress gives the state permission to levy a sales tax on online purchases.
The bill also links the current 23.5-cent-a-gallon gasoline excise tax to the inflation rate.
CLICK HERE to listen to today's House of Delegates session.
A WBAL News review of the 26 page bill also finds that the bill will also increase vehicle registration fees.
You have to go to page 20 of this 26 page bill to find out that vehicle registration fees are being increased by $3.50.
Turn a few more pages and youÆll discover itÆs the emergency medical services surcharge on your registration.
Under the bill, the surcharge pays for among other things hiring 20 new state police helicopter pilots and boosting the salaries for those pilots to $70,000 a year.
Howard County Delegate Frank Turner, who as vice chairman of the Ways and Means Committee helped write the bill, told WBAL News that the higher salaries will help retain pilots, who currently earn $57,000 a year.
"That's way below, what we've turned into is a training program for the commercial services," Turner told WBAL News before today's session.
Maryland Morning News contributor Bryan Sears of Patch.Com reports that the Maryland State Police currently has 11 vacant openings for pilots.
The measure would boost the registration for most cars from $128 to $131.50 paid every two years.
During today's floor debate Republicans spoke out against the bill.
Anne Arundel County Republican Delegate Nic Kipke called the tax proposal "a form of political terrorism," that will hurt poor people.
Montgomery County Democrat Luiz Simmons during the debate called the tax "an extremely regressive tax," one which will impact poor people the hardest. Simmons is among the Democrats who is voting against the bill.
Other Democratic lawmakers spoke in support of the bill noting it will provide needed funds for road and bridge projects, and mass transit improvements that will reduce commuting times, as it will put fewer drivers on the road.
After the vote, Governor Martin O'Malley issued the following statement:
"I am pleased that the House of Delegates acted today to create jobs by passing a 21st century infrastructure investment plan. The investment plan the House passed today is balanced, fiscally responsible and will support 44,000 jobs over the next five years. With new roads, bridges, and transit systems, Maryland will continue to be competitive at attracting companies to invest, grow, and create jobs. Today, we continue to be a leader in the region for jobs recovery. Maryland has recovered more than 86% of the jobs lost in the national recession. I urge the Senate to pass this plan quickly so that we can continue to help Marylanders find jobs and strengthen our middle class."
Summary of Bill Prepared by Department of Legislative Services
Here is a glance at the estimated increases in gas prices to Maryland's current 23.5-cents-per-gallon excise tax under a measure approved by the House of Delegates.
- 1 percent sales tax in July: 3.8 more cents.
- Index for inflation on July 1, 2014: half a penny.
- 1 percent sales tax increase on Jan. 1, 2015: 3.7 more cents.
- 1 percent sales tax increase on July 1, 2015 and index for inflation: 4.1 cents.
Total: 12.1 more cents.
If federal Internet sales tax legislation does not pass:
- 1 percent sales tax increase Jan. 1, 2016: 3.6 cents more.
- 1 percent sales tax increase on July 1, 2016 and indexing for inflation: 4.5 cents more.
Total: 20.2 more cents.
Final Roll Call Vote
Here's how members of the Maryland House of Delegates voted to add a sales tax to gasoline and link future increases to inflation in an unofficial roll call. The vote was 76-63. A vote of 71 was needed.
Voting "yes" were 76 Democrats.
Voting "no" were 22 Democrats and 41 Republicans.

A high-profile redevelopment site at the gateway to the thriving Auckland growth hub of Henderson is for sale by auction through Colliers International.
Zoned Business - Metropolitan Centre, enabling intensive mixed-use development, 437-441 Great North Road comprises a 5,969sq m freehold site with excellent exposure to Henderson’s main arterial route.
A triple-net lease with no rights of renewal will provide a new owner with two years of secure holding income while they develop their plans to unlock the site’s potential.
It will be auctioned at the Colliers Northwest office in Westgate at 11am on Wednesday 15 July, unless sold prior.
Franklin says mixed-use sites suited to residential development are among the most highly sought in the current market.
“This large freehold site offers an excellent canvas for developers looking to maximise value in one of Auckland’s fastest-growing urban centres. However the location and functionality of the site with favourable lease terms will mean businesses also have an opportunity to buy and plan for their future.
“With established rail infrastructure and substantial residential development in the area, Henderson is considered by Auckland Council as a key hub of regeneration.
“The site has desirable Metropolitan Centre zoning, allowing for development of up to 72.5m in height, with uses including residential, aged care, commercial, retail or a mix of these.
“The favourable lease terms provide $310,000 plus GST in net annual rent, providing holding income for a developer or occupier.
“The new lease’s six-month bank guarantee will also appeal to investors, along with the ability to add further value by repositioning the asset upon lease expiry in May 2022.”
Coburn says the property comprises a largely flat and very regular shaped title, with over 60m of frontage to Great North Road.
“The site is located only 60m from the intersection with Lincoln Road, providing excellent exposure to 27,000 passing vehicles each day.
“This well-established commercial location is a short walk from Henderson’s town centre and within a 10-minute drive from the Northwestern Motorway, via either Lincoln or Te Atatu Road.
“The area is well serviced by public transport, with the rail network running parallel to the site. This is set for further growth once the City Rail Link is completed.
“Recent improvements to the motorway network have already enhanced the location as Auckland’s growth continues, pushing more businesses to relocate from the city fringe.”
Coburn says Henderson is identified in the Auckland Plan as one of 10 key metropolitan centres for business and employment growth.
“Extensive urban development is expected over the next 30 years. Panuku Development Auckland will lead this regeneration, with plans to develop a number of council-owned sites in the area.
“The suburb is already home to a number of cultural, recreational and educational facilities, which makes it an attractive destination for current and future residents and businesses.
“Significant nearby amenity includes the Corban Estate Arts Centre, Auckland Film Studios, The Boundary and WestCity Waitakere shopping centres, West Wave Pool and Leisure Centre and Henderson High School.”
Patel says the property has low site coverage, with buildings occupying less than 20 per cent of the land.
“The improvements comprise a 1,144sq m building with a showroom, mezzanine office and warehouse located on the southeastern boundary.
“It’s a functional building with multiple roller doors and a large yard area. The remainder of the site is largely a sealed yard, plus 730sq m of undeveloped land in the eastern corner. The site is fully fenced with dual access points onto Great North Road.
“The showroom fit out remains very modern, with glazed retail frontage to Great North Road covered by a canopy. The mezzanine office provides good natural light.
Vincent says the Metropolitan Centre zone is second only to the city centre in overall scale and intensity.
“The zone is intended to act as a focal point for community interaction and commercial growth and development. It provides for a wide range of activities including commercial, leisure, high-density residential, tourist, cultural, community and civic services.”

Pumped up: $500k Maroochy Beach project begins
Tens of thousands of cubic metres of sand is being pumped onto Maroochydore Beach to help protect the foreshore.
The dredging project is impossible to miss at the popular beach, with Hall Contracting workers onsite most days with the cutter-style dredge.
The replenishment project which is costing Sunshine Coast Council $500,000 involves dredging sand from the lower Maroochy River and pumping it onto the beach.
Council’s acting principal coastal engineer Georgia Keeshan said between 40,000 and 50,000 cubic metres of sand had been lost since the last replenishment project two years ago.
During the next two months that same amount of sand will be pumped through a 400mm diameter pipe from the Lower Maroochy River, along with sea water, onto Maroochydore Beach.
A booster pump helps push the sand up the entire length of the beach.
“The Maroochy River channel is quite narrow and there are a lot of sandbars, so any dredge used needs to be small enough to be manoeuvred, but large enough to complete the project in the designated time frame,” Ms Keeshan said.
“A cutter dredge is the best sized dredge to complete the project in the most efficient manner, working within these constraints of the Maroochy River.”
Ms Keeshan said sand will also be placed around the new geotextile groynes at the Maroochy River mouth.
The work is part of the council’s Shoreline Erosion Management Plan adopted in 2014, which guides foreshore management.
“Maroochydore Beach is prone to natural erosion events,” Ms Keeshan said.
“Guided by the SEMP, about every two years, council replenishes the sand to widen the beach and uphold the erosion buffer.
“Pumping small amounts of sand, more often is better for the environment and the surf conditions.”
She said dredging and sand distribution started in 2013, which helps improve beach amenity and provide long-term protection of the foreshore between Alexandra Headland and Cotton Tree.
“The buffer protects important community infrastructure such as the surf lifesaving towers, viewing decks, car parks, roads, park and playgrounds from severe erosion caused by storms, swells and weather events,” Ms Keeshan said.
“This buffer needs to be approximately 50m wide to provide certainty of protection to these areas during an extreme storm.”
The sand is pumped via a pipeline under an approved development permit for Maroochy Beaches and River dredging and beach nourishment.
The project supports eight jobs at Hall Contracting.

Positive Earnings Boost Several Stocks
The market continues to ride the soft-landing high. The S&P 500 returned more than 3% in July and is now up 19% YTD and within just 4% of the all-time high.
The bullish mood is brought on by the fact that the miserable inflation/Fed conundrum that drove stocks into a bear market last year is ending. And it appears that we will not have to endure a recession. Even though S&P earnings are falling for the third straight quarter, investors are bullish about the future.
Sure, things could discombobulate down the road. Inflation could rise again. The economy could roll over. But even if such things happen, they appear unlikely to materialize at least before the end of the summer. For now, times are good.
AbbVie Inc. (ABBV), Digital Realty Trust (DLR), and Intel (INTC) got a big boost last week on positive earnings reports. There have also been strong upward moves in Qualcomm (QCOM), ONEOK Inc. (OKE), and Hess Inc. (HES) recently. Also, Broadcom (AVGO) and Eli Lilly (LLY) are still strong and rising after huge surges higher.
The midstream energy companies are also trending higher in the broadening rally. The only stocks still floundering are the utilities; Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP), NextEra Energy (NEE), and Xcel Energy (XEL). But sector performance always rotates eventually, and these stocks are cheap while the companies are the best of the breed.
The portfolio is still well diversified and prepared for whatever lies ahead. And most of the portfolio is enjoying the bounty of this bull market.
Purchased Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR) - $117.75
Qualcomm (QCOM) – Rating change “HOLD” to “BUY”
Intel (INTC) - Rating change “HOLD” to “BUY”
High Yield Tier
Enterprise Product Partners (EPD – yield 7.6%) – The company reported second-quarter earnings that reflected a decline in earnings per share to $0.57 per unit versus $0.64 per unit in last year’s quarter. The decline was primarily due to lower natural gas liquid prices. Although the partnership has minimal exposure to commodity prices directly, the lower prices resulted in diminished volumes through its systems.
The decline was partially offset by higher volumes across the board in other areas as expansions came online. Prices have been on the rise since the end of June and the increased volumes will lead to higher earnings in the future. EPD is only slightly lower on Tuesday’s opening and still near the 52-week high. (This security generates a K1 form at tax time). BUY
ONEOK Inc. (OKE – yield 5.7%) – After getting clobbered in May when the market hated its purchase of Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP), OKE has been coming right back and has regained all those losses. It’s up over 17% since the beginning of June and is within less than 10% of the 52-week high. OKE has been trending sharply higher as the energy sector is recovering and the rally is broadening. The midstream energy company reports earnings next week that could stifle the rally or drive the stock toward the high. HOLD
Realty Income (O – yield 5.0%) – This legendary monthly income stock is showing some signs of life after a tough first half when both the real estate and consumer staples sectors floundered. It currently sells well below the pre-pandemic high, despite having higher earnings. But income and safety will come back into vogue eventually. Realty Income reports second-quarter earnings this week. Hopefully, that can get it going. BUY
The Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB – yield 5.2%) – This midstream company has been disappointing. But WMB is finally getting the lead out. It’s up close to 20% in the last couple of months. This had been a tough year for defensive stocks and energy stocks. But the broadening rally is lifting WMB. And the momentum could last. WMB is still well off the 52-week high, and earnings have been growing strongly. WMB has been trending higher since the end of May. Hopefully, the earnings report on Wednesday can thrust the stock to a higher level. BUY
Dividend Growth Tier
AbbVie (ABBV – yield 4.0%) – This position was upgraded to a buy in June after it started to move off the bottom. AbbVie reported earnings last Wednesday that beat on both earnings and revenue and the company also raised earnings guidance for the year. The stock has spiked over 6% since the report. Humira sales were down less than expected and AbbVie’s replacement immunology drugs did better than expected. The report emboldens the notion that the revenue drop from the Humira patent expiration will be very temporary and AbbVie will turn the corner sooner than expected on route to a promising future. BUY
Broadcom Inc. (AVGO – yield 2.0%) – It looks like AVGO is just going to keep moving higher regardless of how high it gets. I thought AVGO would pull back after its amazing AI surge, but it never sobered up and maybe never will. The ascent has indeed slowed down over the past several weeks. But it isn’t showing any weakness. The AVGO return now exceeds 100% since being added to the portfolio in early 2021. It is no doubt a great company and returns should be good over the next couple of years. The road higher may not be as bumpy as expected. HOLD
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP – yield 4.3%) – The infrastructure company stock has continued to go sideways since the spring. It’s still a tough market for more defensive, dividend-paying stocks. Brookfield reports second-quarter earnings on Thursday. The stock got new life after the last report as funds from operations (FFOs) per share grew 12.5% over last year’s quarter. Hopefully, BIP can get a bump from earnings and the second half will be kinder to defensive stocks. (This security generates a K1 form at tax time). BUY
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY – yield 1.0%) – I thought LLY would pull back, but I’m wrong again just like with AVGO. LLY continues to hover near the high, seemingly building a base for its next surge higher. The market is just so excited about the potential mega-blockbuster drugs in the late-stage pipeline. LLY has now returned over 200% since being added to the portfolio a little less than three years ago. The market has refused to cool on LLY because it has two potential mega-blockbuster drugs up for approval later this year or early next as well as better than 20% annual earnings growth for the next several years. HOLD
Hess Corporation (HES – yield 1.2%) – The exploration and production company also reported earnings last week that beat expectations. Higher production offset lower realized oil and gas prices. The company’s strong margins give it strong leverage in a rising energy price environment and the stock has benefitted from the recently rising oil prices and positive prognosis going forward. The stronger economic environment is clearly benefiting the stock in the near term and the longer-term dynamics are strong for energy prices. HES is up 16% in the last three weeks. BUY
Intel Corporation (INTC – yield 1.5%) – The chipmaker reported earnings last week that beat estimates and the company returned to profitability. The PC market appears to have bottomed out and is poised for a second-half recovery as Intel is also increasing its market share. At the same time, Intel has a promising future as it has invested heavily in chips in high-growth areas as well as a rapidly growing foundry business. The road to recovery appears smoother and insiders have been buying heavily into the stock. INTC soared nearly 7% on the news after being upgraded to a buy in mid-July. BUY
Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM – yield 2.4%) – Here comes QCOM too. The chipmaker is up 6.5% in the last couple of days and 28% since late May. It’s not an immediate AI beneficiary, but it keeps marching slowly higher ahead of the period where it might surge higher quickly. Qualcomm describes itself as the “on-device AI leader,” and the company should benefit mightily from the increasing shift towards AI and profits are now likely to soar sooner than previously expected. Qualcomm reports earnings on Wednesday and forecasts are mixed. But it might get a boost. BUY
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH – yield 1.4%) – UNH has leveled off over the last week after catching a little bit of fire. UNH floundered after it reported higher costs from more people getting elective surgeries because of pent-up pandemic demand. But the company has since reported higher-than-expected earnings and raised guidance, negating the negative catalyst that had driven the stock price down. It’s still in the lagging defense arena but it could have a much better rest of the year. BUY
Visa Inc. (V – yield 0.8%) – V loves the still-strong economy and increasing soft-landing odds. Consumer spending remains strong, and the company reported another impressive quarter. The stock has pulled back after soaring to a 52-week high. But that is typical behavior for this stock. The longer-term situation is great as more people move toward cashless transactions and Visa has an unbelievable market share. The better short term is a surprise. Hopefully, the good times last. HOLD
Safe Income Tier
NextEra Energy (NEE – yield 2.5%) – This combination regulated and clean energy utility stock is currently at the low end of its range as defensive stocks have floundered. But that might not last. This company is targeting earnings per share growth of 6% to 8% annually through 2026 and 10% per year dividend growth through at least 2024. NextEra is right on track. The utility grew earnings 8.6% in the second quarter and 11% in the first half versus the same periods last year. It also has predictably solid earnings going forward because of a considerable project backlog. Sure, utilities are out of style right now. But sector performance rotates eventually. And NEE is the best of the breed. BUY
Xcel Energy (XEL – yield 3.3%) – This clean-energy utility reported lower-than-expected earnings last week of $0.52 per share versus $0.60 in last year’s quarter. The company attributed unusual weather and maintenance issues to the one-off decline and reaffirmed previous earnings guidance for all of 2023. XEL has been trending lower since the beginning of April in a tough market for the utility sector. But things change, and XEL is cheap and one of the best utility stocks to own. BUY
USB Depository Shares (USB-PS – yield 5.8%) – This preferred issue has bounced around since being added to the portfolio. It took an unjustifiable hit during the banking issues. But it has mostly moved inversely to interest rates. It’s worth noting that the ten-year Treasury is near the high and USB-PS is still at a higher price since being added. We also may be near peak interest rates in this cycle. BUY
Invesco Preferred ETF (PGX – yield 6.3%) – Longer-term rates have moved near the recent high again as a recession appears less likely in a still-strong economy. The timing for buying PGX is probably good right now as rates appear likely near the peak. BUY
Vanguard Long-Term Corp. Bd. Index Fund (VCLT – yield 4.5%) – There could be some near-term turbulence with the price on the way to solid longer-term returns and diversification. The fund is holding up well in the recent rising interest rate environment and should benefit if and when rates come back down. BUY

According to the statement, the Armenian side organized the visits of some participants of the international media forum held in Armenia to occupied Azerbaijani territories on March 18-23.
“Maria Laura Carpineta, a journalist of the National News Agency of Argentina “TELAM”, was among them, and following the illegal visit, a pro-Armenian article on the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict was published on the website of the agency. In this regard, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Argentina appealed to the management of TELAM Agency, expressing its dissatisfaction with the article and the illegal visit of the journalist to occupied Azerbaijani territories, whose name, according to the Azerbaijani legislation, will be added to the list of undesirable persons. The embassy also thoroughly informed the agency TELAM on the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenians,” noted the statement.
The Foreign Ministry said that immediately after it, the agency removed the article from its website and sent a letter of apology to the Azerbaijani Embassy.
In the letter, the TELAM management expressed regret for that the article posted on the agency’s website didn’t clearly reflect the idea of Nagorno-Karabakh’s being internationally recognized territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan and its occupation by Armenia as it is mentioned in the resolutions of the UN Security Council and General Assembly, said the statement.
It was noted that further investigation revealed a number of errors and inaccuracies were made regarding the issue and therefore the article was removed from agency’s website. The TELAM management mentioned that appropriate work will be done to avoid this kind of misunderstandings further.
In addition, the National News Agency of Argentina unequivocally expressed respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and internationally recognized borders of the Republic of Azerbaijan, noted the statement.


The numbers are getting better. Six in 10 Americans are interested in pursuing STEM careers, according to a new survey by Emerson. However only 39% have ”felt encouraged to do so,” the study concludes. When it comes to attracting women to the field, the numbers aren’t looking good. Two out of three women said they were not encouraged to pursue a career in STEM.
Female-only science programs, launched by many universities to redress gender imbalance in such fields as computer science and engineering, are coming under growing legal attack as sex discrimination against men. The U.S. Department of Education has opened more than two dozen investigations into universities across the nation -- UC Berkeley, UCLA and USC as well as Yale, Princeton and Rice...
At a 24 July briefing on Capitol Hill, Girl Scout leaders, members of Congress, and others spoke about the importance of girls entering and staying in STEM fields. As an organization, the Girl Scouts “has a long history of engaging girls in STEM activities and encouraging them to pursue their interest in science in and out of the classroom,” said Cole Grissom, GSUSA senior manager of digital content strategy.
The nonprofit Girls Who Code is working with Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) on legislation that would require schools receiving federal funding for computer science programs to disclose to the Department of Education the number and percentage of students who participate in computer science courses, as well as their gender, race and more.
The education gender gap costs the world between $15 trillion and $30 trillion in human capital. U.S. aid programs need to equip girls and women to participate in the modern digital economy.
“In CSE 143 and other computer science introductory classes, every time someone always asks a question -- it’s almost always a guy,” Ketaki Deuskar, a rising sophomore in the Allen School of Computer Science, said. By college, many successful women are hit with severe bouts of imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is a repercussion of the unequal society we live in.
Of the 12 people who have walked on the moon, zero have been women. NASA's Artemis program aims to change that by landing the first woman on the moon. "I have a daughter. She is 11 years old, and I want her to see herself in the same position that our current, very diverse astronaut corps currently sees itself, having the opportunity to go to the moon," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in an agency town hall May 14.
Israeli crystallographer Ada Yonath - whose pioneering work on the structure of the ribosome won her the Nobel Prize in 2009 - has one advice for women struggling to make a mark in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM): Forget what society thinks and go after what you want.
While champion skier Lindsey Vonn is no longer hitting the slopes professionally after announcing her retirement earlier this year, she has something new she is championing. The former alpine ski racer is now helping young girls become more involved in STEM education through the Lindsey Vonn Foundation.
As part of that, Girls Who Code founder and CEO Reshma Saujani announced that the organization has been working with Rosen’s team to draft what she called the “first-ever federal Girls Who Code legislation to encourage states to start reporting on their gender diversity data.” The nonprofit has successfully promoted and helped pass laws that track gender diversity in computing in two states so far this year...

Uncle Mo’s (203 E. Seventh St., Downtown, 513- 721-8111) is one of my new favorite downtown lunch spots. I have to walk about eight blocks to get there, but even in the cold, it’s been worth it. Now, with the nice weather — go!
Uncle Mo and his wife (we’ll call her Aunt Mo, yes?) run this little two-person operation on Seventh Street, east of Main Street. This is the Edge of Beyond for central business district locations, which is the only reason I’m revealing this little-known secret spot. I’d rather share it than lose it.
Yes, Uncle Mo’s is a gyros place, ostensibly, and there are other gyros places downtown — at least one that I bypass on my way to Mo’s. But Mo’s tzatziki sauce? Thick Greek-style yogurt. Mo’s hummus? I tasted it side-by-side with Sabra samples that were being passed out on Fountain Square. No comparison! Mo’s was as smooth as butter and as luxurious as velvet. He even drizzles olive oil on top.
Mo’s chicken shawarma is as tender as a pita full of babies’ kisses. I always ask for light on the onions, in order to spare my afternoon cohorts, and Mo knows light. Just a few delicate slices, widely spaced. Mo also makes chicken salad — dense, somewhat monotextural, but a good non-messy choice for those dry-clean-only days. And the baklava? Nutty goodness. A great big piece for just $2.50.
Mo and Mrs. Mo chide each other affectionately in French as Mo dishes up the chow and the Mrs. takes orders and rings up sales. I recognize the dynamic — he’s the talker and the dreamer, she’s the steady soul. Go visit for yourself and tell me if you agree.
And somewhere I’d go more often if I were in Clifton: Aquarius Star Om Café (329 Ludlow Ave., Clifton, 513-381-3436). This hidden gem has a new chef, Gary Garitson, who moved to Cincinnati from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. After a stint working for Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse, he’s gone in a different direction — to say the least. His new menu at Om is sustainable, locally sourced and is earning some positive attention, including a demo on Local 12 news during Lent on vegetarian cooking.
You see the NOLA influence in Garitson’s menu in items like a savory bread pudding filled with local bacon, mushrooms, peppers, cheese and herbs; and in gumbo made with organic okra, crab meat, free range local chicken and local smoked sausage. Hearty fare that’s not all meatless, although vegetarians and vegans have plenty of options at Om. The new menu was launched on March 1. The café is open seven days a week and is planning events to foster community, such as a game night on Sundays. Check Facebook to see how their plans progress, and to catch their daily soups and menu specials.
Planning ahead: Gorman Heritage Farm (10052 Reading Road, Evendale, 513-563-6663) is hosting Savor the Season: Farm to Fork on May 4. There will be cooking demonstrations from some great local chefs:
Steven Geddes of Local 127
Jimmy Hanser of Whole Foods Market Mason
Jose Salazar of Abigail Street
Justin Dean of Relish Restaurant Group
Meredith Trombly of Fresh Table
Michael Paley of Metropole
Mike Florea of Maribelle’s eat + drink
Kristen St. Clair of Gabriel’s Place
And I’ll be there to judge a mystery basket challenge featuring produce and proteins from Gorman Farm — think the Food Network show Chopped. There will be farm tours, vendors, food trucks and a raffle. See more info at gormanfarm.org.
Last year, I went to Gorman for an event and while I was there a hen laid an egg, and the chicken wrangler let me hold it while it was still warm. Even a die-hard city girl like me can be awed by the beauty of that moment. If you haven’t been to Gorman, the May event is a good reason to visit.

The Wildheart Trust is dedicated to providing forever homes for animals that have been rescued from horrendous conditions around Europe. We achieve this by offering them refuge and the chance to flourish in our wildlife sanctuary. This is our fundamental mission and we partner with our colleagues and friends AAP in Holland to give exotic animals a better life in their new forever home by the sea on the Isle of Wight.
In recent years we have provided forever homes to a number of rescued animals including two Lions found in a beast wagon in Spain; a group of five ex-circus Tigers found with mutilations in a squalid pen in Spain and two pet Servals who were found severely malnourished with deformed and broken bones inside a bathroom in France. We will soon be welcoming two more rescued Tigers, who were discovered in awful conditions in a horsebox on the Belarussian border.
Big Cats in the Illegal Trafficking Trade
Every month hundreds of wild animal body parts are smuggled from Russia into China to be used in Chinese medicine. Trade in wild animals is very profitable, it’s in third place after arms trade and drugs! As the wild population of tigers decreases rapidly, the trade of captive tigers is rapidly on the rise.
Two tigers that were rescued at the Belarussian border are strongly suspected to have been destined for the illegal Tiger bone trade in China.
We will be welcoming these two amazing animals to the Sanctuary in February to continue their rehabilitation and to live out their lives in peace.
Wild Animals for Entertainment
Circuses use entertainment and “traditional practices” as a cover up for blatant animal abuse. Our lions Kumba and Vigo were castrated before they were one-year-old meaning they didn’t grow manes and have grown to an abnormally large size. They also had their claws removed, an excruciatingly painful experience that is similar to the pain felt when breaking a bone, and this was done with the brutal intention of pacifying these beautiful animals so that they could be used in circus performances.
The Illegal Pet Trade
The illegal pet trade in Europe sees small mammals and primates being shipped around the continent and living in squalid, inappropriate conditions. The servals we have rescued were found in the bedroom of a lady in Brittany who had bought them from a breeder in the Czech Republic. Due to poor and inappropriate nutrition there was a serious lack of calcium, this resulted in creating deformed bones in their hind legs. It took them a long time to heal, get used to the right food and grow strong. Although they had an horrendous start in life they are now on their way back up – but it shouldn’t have come to that in the first place.

Brooklyn Bell is Patagonia Mountain Bike Ambassador and a freelance artist from Bellingham, Washington. She skis, she climbs, she rides bikes and she loves getting creative in the outdoors. We love how she clearly defines the difference between diversity and inclusion and how she has found a way to both educate others and create boundaries that help make space for herself. She talks about joy and creativity, tokenism, the role of good friends who step up and have your back, and how art has helped her become who she needed to be.

President’s Healthcare Law: Millions Face Higher Rates, Cancelled PlansNovember 15, 2013
This week, we learned that only 106,185 Americans managed to navigate and select a healthcare plan as part of the new health law. Of those 106,185 enrollments, only 26,794 came through the federal marketplace which services Americans in 36 states.
These enrollment numbers pale in comparison to the Administration’s original estimate of 494,620 enrollments within the first month of HealthCare.gov’s launch. And, even more so to the 4.8 millions of Americans – and more than 1 million Californians – who have already received notices that their current health coverage will be dropped because of the Affordable Care Act.
Yesterday, President Obama apologized to the millions of Americans who have been receiving cancellation notices and announced a proposal to grant administrative relief by selectively enforcing the Administration’s own regulations. But, by trying to ignore a problem with existing law – instead of addressing it – the president’s proposal is sure to create confusion and prolong uncertainty for millions more.
CA-49 CONSTITUENTS AFFECTED
In an effort to show Washington that you, the American people, know what’s best for you and your family, I have encouraged you to share with me how you and your family have been affected by the President’s healthcare law. Your stories have made one thing clear: this law is harming a lot more Americans than it is helping.
Laurie, from Oceanside, received a letter from her provider informing her that as of December 15 her policy would no longer be offered to her and her son – forcing Laurie to enroll in government-mandated coverage that will increase her premium by 86% from $4,680 to $8,682 per year.
Brian, a resident of San Clemente, shared that, “thanks to ObamaCare, my health care insurance was cancelled.” He added, “It wasn’t a decision of the insurance company. It was because my policy was not ‘grandfathered’ into the new law as was promised by the President of my country. That’s a big deal.” Under Brian’s new plan, he will now be forced to pay almost $4,000 more a year – a 154% increase.
Samuel and Debi of Carlsbad wrote that, due to the cancellation of their current plan, they will face a 97% yearly increase with their new “comparable plan.” They added that, despite having no children, they will now be required to have a plan that offers maternity and pediatric dental care – raising the valid questions of “Why are we required to purchase services we will never use? And, is a 100% increase even remotely justified?”
Lynda, from Oceanside, shared with me that Kaiser is discontinuing her plan in December because it does not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act – increasing her premium by 54% or $2,258 more a year. Lynda added, “What kind of law takes away perfectly fine, affordable insurance and replaces it with poor coverage, unaffordable insurance?”
I couldn’t agree with you more, Lynda.
What you are experiencing is simply unacceptable. Southern Californians deserve much better. You, and the rest of the American people, deserve the right to choose and have access to affordable health coverage that meets the needs of you and your family. Unfortunately, the President’s healthcare law strips you of that fundamental choice.
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE EXAMINES HEALTHCARE.GOV FAILURES
On Wednesday, I convened an Oversight hearing to hear from top HealthCare.gov officials to examine what went wrong with the site’s rollout and what the Administration is doing to address and fix the technology and security problems currently plaguing the site.
At the hearing, White House official Todd Park could not confirm whether the website would be ready by the end of November, as promised. Even more concerning, Administration technology experts could not state who was responsible for the botched rollout of HealthCare.gov.
As Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, I will not stop until the Administration comes clean about what caused HealthCare.gov’s disastrous rollout, who was responsible and what can be done in the future to prevent these systematic and pervasive failures from occurring again.
HOUSE ACTS TO ALLOW AMERICANS TO KEEP HEALTH PLANS
Today, the House passed the Keep your Health Plan Act (H.R. 3350), a bipartisan bill that will allow plans that were available at the beginning of this year to continue to be offered next year without facing a penalty. Unlike the President’s current proposal, the House bill will clearly change the law so the plans Americans have and like will not be banned.
Americans everywhere are now experiencing first-hand that the President’s healthcare law is not affordable and is not in the best interest of consumers. However, unlike President Obama, I will not ignore a problem with an existing law instead of addressing it.
I will do everything in my power to address the President’s self-acknowledged “fumble” so that you may regain your fundamental right to choose your coverage and have access to affordable healthcare that meets the needs of you and your family.


The smart city platforms can serve as a key element for the effective implementation of the measures needed to achieve the objectives.
Digital transformation represents the set of innovations that change the reality of public administration employees and of the cities themselves and their citizens. To this end, all the actors in this digital transformation must understand it, and know how to adapt and see these technologies as allied tools and not as hostile elements.
The digital transformation supported by an incremental deployment of digital transformation platforms is Smart City in the different city verticals, can and must become a key element to achieve the goals proposed by the Urban Agendas 2030, being an ecosystem of solutions and standards that support and substantiate any Strategic Plan developed around the SDGs, from the Vision, Mission, Values, Action Plans, objectives, indicators, etc.
From this perspective, a smart city platform should be aligned from its initial implementation with the 17 sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda.
Therefore, a Smart City Platform should provide a technological ecosystem capable of supporting the Urban Agendas 2030, being able to integrate the information generated by the different city initiatives aimed at achieving improvements in any of the SDGs and their associated targets.
This requires clear strategic and operational objectives, with defined and easily automatable metrics and indicators, and appropriate dashboards to provide the knowledge necessary for appropriate, proportionate and, above all, data-driven decision making.
IOT helps in the integration of continuous improvement, the essence of which is that if you want to improve a parameter magnitude you have to measure it first, i.e. you cannot improve what you cannot measure.

Hargreaves Services shares fall by a third as production at Maltby Colliery grinds to halt
Shares in Hargreaves Services fell by a third today after the coal miner issued a profit warning following the suspension of work at its Maltby Colliery colliery due to unusual geological conditions.
Hargreaves, one of the few remaining deep coal mines in the UK, said it faces a 12 to 16 weeks production gap at Maltby Colliery in Rotherham as it has had to stop work on a new 'panel' of coal because of safety concerns after the significant ingress of water, oil, gas and other hydrocarbons.
The gap in production will see £16million wiped off the group's profits next year but Hargreaves insisted the situation, which is believed to have never happened before in Maltby’s 100-year history, would not have an impact on the long term viability of the mine.
Production gap: Hargreaves has to suspend work at its Maltby Colliery for 12 to 16 weeks, which will see £16m being wiped off the group's next year profits
Hargreaves production division director Gerry Huitson said: ‘No one on the mining team, including our independent expert geologist with 32 years experience at many different UK mines, has come across these conditions before.
‘We will revise the mining plans to avoid this locality and it is highly unlikely that these conditions will be found again in any subsequent panels.’
Shares were down 31 per cent, or 332.75p, to 726.25p in morning trading.
Maltby, which employs around 500 people, produces more than one million tonnes of coal per year.
About 60 per cent of Maltby’s total output is supplied under a long-term secure contract with Drax, Europe’s largest coal-fired power plant.
Hargreaves is also the largest importer of coal into the UK through terminals at Immingham and Newport and owns Monckton coke works in south Yorkshire.

I get so angry with myself over these UFOs sometimes! It frustrates me that I would begin a project and cast it aside without finishing. That's just not something I would do in any other aspect of my life. And yes, I suppose sewing is a "hobby" and perhaps not on the same plane as, say child rearing (Imagine putting your baby in a closet and coming back years later to finish "bringing him up"!), but there is an investment here.
First of all, it comes out of the bag looking as though someone slept in it! This is the dress lining.

Ameren Illinois helps fund Springfield Urban League's college scholarship program
As it has for the past few years, Ameren Illinois wrote a five-figure check for Springfield Urban League Inc.'s college scholarship program.
The local non-profit on Tuesday formally accepted the donation from the St. Louis-based energy company. The money will help fund close to a dozen $500 to $1,500 scholarships for Springfield teens going to college, said Springfield Urban League education director Ashley Moore.
"There is absolutely a big, huge financial need," Moore said. "Not just for the money specifically, but also the education behind what is needed to be successful in school."
More:School opens for most students in District 186 Monday; 'ready to navigate' anything
Moore said Ameren has donated toward its Project College Ready program for at least the past five years. The program funds anywhere between seven to 15 scholarships depending on the year, she said.
"It’s all about the community and the community that you serve," Brian Leonard, director of government relations for Illinois Ameren. "The Urban League is in that community. They serve the people in this community. And (if) you keep the money in Springfield, it goes a lot further in the community."

Tracking where your coffee beans originate from was not so easy. Blockchain solves this problem, as the app Thank My Farmer is created. Read now.
On the 6th of January The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Farmer Connect, and IBM announced a Blockchain app that lets consumers learn more about the coffee they buy.
The founder and president of the tracking organization Farmer Connect, David Behrends stated to Cointelegraph that the app is called “Thank My Farmer”. It is said to give customers a map to showcase the journey their coffee beans have, until they reach their final packaged form. This is done by scanning a QR-code:
“After scanning a QR-code, consumers are taken straight to a product page that gives details about the coffee they are drinking. Below that description is an interactive map that shows the journey the coffee has taken. We say you can travel the world through a cup of coffee, and we’d like to help consumers visualize that.”
How does the app work?
The IBM’s Worldwide Blockchain Leader Paul Chang said that each user in the Thank You My Farmer network has copies of transaction data. This way every addition to the blocks is considered throughout the entire network.
The application lets retailers, wholesalers, traders, and farmers to interact and provide insights about where the world’s favorite coffee products come from.
Behrends stated that customers can see from end to end where the coffee bean farms are located, and how coffee beans are processed before going to the shops.
“If we have geolocation of farmers, those farms will appear on the map. If we don’t have this information, we show the steps the coffee underwent. For instance, coffee starts off as a cherry, the beans get taken out of the cherry and are washed and dried. Each step is performed in different segments before the product goes to ports of export and import. Consumers can click on the interactive map to learn more about how coffee has been sourced, traveled and transformed.”
According to Thank My Farmer app creators, the application will be live at the start of 2020.

But most significantly, Miller led the historic roll out of a free laptop program last fall for middle school students and followed it up with the same free learning tech program for high school students in January.
The district, which is the eighth-largest in Ohio, is the first in the region to attempt such a wide distribution of free laptops, which students can take home and do school work.
Miller told the Journal-News that “using technology to share the outstanding learning happening throughout Lakota Schools is natural.”
“We must meet people where they are and must use as many communication vehicles as we can,” Miller said.
Julie Shaffer, president of the Lakota Board of Education, said “we’re very proud that Matt is being recognized at a national level for the transformation we’ve witnessed locally since his arrival at Lakota.”
“Not only is he a great communicator, but through his leadership he has transformed how our entire district communicates and he has taken us to the next level,” Shaffer said.
NSPRA judges at the group’s recent national convention described the superintendent as using “digital platforms to make connections, build relationships, support 24/7 professional development and provide an inside look at what is happening inside Lakota schools.”
“In a short time, his efforts in a district of more than 16,000 students has made it much more unified,” officials said.
“Miller hosts Facebook Live sessions and developed the Lakota Learning Blog. Both mediums are opportunities where staff and other stakeholders can share their areas of expertise and provide relevant content to parents and others in the community,” officials said.
