Feelings Rookie: How to Apologize

When I made the conscious decision to get back in touch with emotions again, there was no way I could only do it in some aspects of my life.

For instance, I’m mortified that I wrote “made the conscious decision to get back in touch with emotions” because that sounds like the hogwash a yoga teacher you’ve never met before this moment might say to you when she senses tension in your traps.

But I wrote the truth even if it comes off to me as saccharine, and I’ve got to stick with honesty all the time or not at all. Perhaps you’re the type who can easily flow between those places of truths and lies; that’s just fine, and frankly I’m a bit jealous, because that is my default easy place.

There are alarm bells that go off in my head now when I lie, and I can thank therapy for that (thanks a LOT, jerk therapy). When I hear or think it, I automatically go into checklist mode: Why are you lying? Are you lying because it’s convenient? Are you in defense mode? Is it just for fun? Are you bored?

Usually, though, the answer for lying is, “I don’t want to admit to something because admitting wrongness is tantamount to showing weakness.”

So when I began to chip away at my dammed-up feelings, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy and I had to be all in like when I gave up booze, because I’m not great at the in-between.

I’m lucky, because there was plenty of positive reinforcement when I first started sharing what I was actually thinking and feeling; my wife and my friends and family were appreciative that I trusted them to tell the truth, and they showed me it would not, in fact, kill me.

But there are times when sticking to honesty is harder, especially when you know that you’re on your own, you’re the only one making you do this, and the only way you can fix the problems in front of you is sacrificing your pride.

Yes, I’m talking about apologizing.

The following is what I’ve learned about really apologizing. Funnily enough, I’ve known all these steps since college, where I was a communications major and we were actually tested on this.

Theory is fine, but putting it to practice is difficult. But like I tell my sisters: I fuck up so you don’t have to, so watch and learn, bros. [Wife’s note: Her work has paid off and she is better at this, so she’s not just pulling your chain.]

Let’s say I’m having an argument with my wife. Let’s say she brings up recent behavior on my part that maybe I didn’t realize was hurting her feelings, but now that she’s telling me about it, I can totally see what she’s talking about. (I know it’s vague, but I’d say 80 percent of arguments or discussions follow this pattern for either person.)

My immediate impulse is to cover and run, to listen while she’s talking and start thinking of reasons why I could have possibly done that that aren’t the reasons she’s giving me. If this does end up coming out of my mouth – that I’m going on the defense – I have started to paint myself in a corner.

Instead of listening to what she’s telling me, I’m trying to think of ways she could be wrong, not trying to imagine how she could be right. Instead of opening my arms and heart and ears, I’m battening the hatches and hunkering down.

But, like you, I’m smart. When this is happening, I can feel a small wiggle in the back of my brain, something squirming, saying, “Why are you trying to burn this down when you know you’re wrong?”

Apologizing, though painful for the prideful, is important in this case. Because even if I didn’t think I was hurting her feelings, she’s telling me I was. So what is my end game with my current strategy – make her feel badly for bringing up an emotional issue that she’s uncomfortable with? Make her feel like dirt for being honest with her own feelings?

When I started looking at these situations that way, I realized there’s so much more to give and take within apologizing than merely winning or losing. It’s telling the other person you hear them, you see them, and you respect them enough to take their account into consideration.

In this situation, here’s how it goes:

Step 1: Express Remorse

It’s not an apology until you say the magic words, “I’m sorry,” or “I apologize.” You may want to follow those two words up with a nice big “…but,” and I’m here to tell you JUST DON’T. Do not ruin the genuine sentiment of “I’m sorry,” with a caveat because that just shows how not sorry you actually are.

In the case of Molly vs. Her Wife, this would look like me swallowing my ego and saying, “Wow, I didn’t know that made you feel like that. I’m really sorry.”

Step 2: Take Responsibility

This is that piece of emotional honesty that sucks. Admit where you erred. Say it out loud. Take responsibility for your actions or words or behavior. If you were doing or saying or behaving in a good way and were praised for it, it’s not like you’d fight that kicking and screaming. The same has to be true with when you’ve screwed up. Don’t weasel, don’t waffle, and don’t whine.

“I can totally see how my behavior came off that way. It’s important to me that you know I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I definitely see where you’re coming from and it was my mistake.”

Step 3: Make Up For It

This step is also called “making amends,” which is a nice way of saying you’re going to be bold and open and honest with this person right now and you’re going to explain how you are going to make it up to them. This works well with step 2, because it gives you concrete ways to show that you’re actually remorseful.

“Now that I’m aware, I’ll definitely keep that in check through (specifics. Give specific ways you’ll rectify your behavior). If you see it again, please call me on it. Thank you for telling me.”

Step 4: It Won’t Happen Again

The final step in the process seems easy enough in theory, but in practice, it goes beyond this one conversation. You can say the nicest apology in the world, but if you keep repeating the action, it just shows you’re a good bullshitter. Your actions have to match up with your words, and that’s where personal integrity comes in.

“I’m sorry I hurt you, and I promise it won’t happen again.”

You’ll notice through those four steps that nowhere in there did I give myself any wiggle room. Like I said before, if I’ve got room to wiggle, I’ve got room to screw it up. If I’m wrong, I’ve got to be wrong, plain and simple, and it’s not her job to make up for my mistakes.

Now, of course I should mention that you don’t want to be a doormat just because someone tells you about something you may or may not have done. That’s why apologizing is a conversation – you’ve got to listen to them and be open to what they’re saying, but they’ve also got to extend the same courtesy to you.

But most of us know when we’ve messed up. And given the lack of appreciation for the truth or for apologizing we’ve got in our headlines and our politics right now, it’s more important than ever that we try to take personal responsibility for ourselves. It’s not easy, but it’s one of the simplest and most honest human connections there is.

Molly Priddy is a writer and editor in Northwest Montana. Follow her on Twitter: @mollypriddy

Molly has written 43 articles for us.

  1. “I can totally see how my behavior came off that way. It’s important to me that you know I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I definitely see where you’re coming from and it was my mistake.”

    If I got an apology like that, I would still hear it as a lot of minimizing and hedging. When I’m getting an apology, I don’t care about the apologizer’s intent, and if they spend a lot of time explaining to me why they weren’t trying to do something wrong, I question if they understand what they did wrong.

    I’d much rather a straightforward “I’m sorry that I did X because it did Y to you.”

    • This is a fair point!

      In instances with my wife, part of my apology to her is letting her know that there was no intentional malice on my part. I’m not trying to avoid the responsibility of it, but letting her know there wasn’t malicious intent helps soften the conversation.

      She’s still upset with me, and I’m still responsible. These conversations don’t happen in vacuum, either, so context matters. She would be at a different level of upset, and I’d have to do a lot more personal soul-searching and apologizing, if I’d hurt her on purpose. Letting her know it was unintentional – only if it was – puts the conversation at a different starting point.

      Does that make sense?

      • Yes, this makes sense. This column was not very clear on differentiating between apologizing generally and apologizing between you and your wife. Since this is the first Feelings Rookie column I’ve ever read, I’m not sure what kind of line you draw between personal essay and advice to others as you write it, but it is filed under advice and includes instructions, so I said something.

  2. Such a world of difference between “I’m sorry you feel hurt” and “I’m sorry I hurt you (even unintentionally)”. I don’t want someone to apologise for how I feel – my feelings are my own responsibility. I want someone to apologise for their actions (again, whether intentional or not) – their actions are their responsibility. But definitely not to go straight to defense.

    Have been thinking a lot about this lately, thanks so much for writing this column now!

    • Do you mean in the moment or letting go of anger or resentment after an apology? Because in the moment, I’d say: “Thank you for listening to me.” (But only if they actually, you know, listened to you.)

      Otherwise, it’s the other side of the Make Amends coin: If you say you’re going to let it go, you have to try to. If you slip up, talk about it, and keep moving on. I am very human in these situations.

  3. Thank you for outlining these helpful steps. I’d like to also offer a counterpoint (that’s meant to be complementary to what you wrote rather than contradictory). While it is absolutely important to acknowledge and take responsibility for causing hurt, it is also important for the other person to take a certain amount of responsibility for their own feelings. When this dynamic swings too far the other way, you can end up in a situation where one person constantly criticizes and blames the other for every perceived offense, and the other person begins to feel constantly anxious and walking on eggshells. In my opinion, the ideal way to approach these situations is for both people to come into them with generosity of spirit for the other person’s intentions, a lack of reactive assumptions, and an awareness that we all have buttons that will get pushed from time to time that the other person may not even be aware of, and that you may have to do some work of your own on managing your first-impulse responses and feelings.

    • A) Please always share your strategies! I am a rookie, not a pro.

      B) I agree with you very much. I tried to address this power dynamic in the paragraph about not being a doormat, because it’s important to have the conversation go both ways (hey-yo). We should be shooting for listening, not reacting.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – How My Healthy Lifestyle Changes Helped Extreme Fatigue and Weakness

0 28

For 20 years, I lived with a great mystery in my life. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and nobody could tell me why I had it or why it made me feel the way it did.

It was back in 1996, when my life completely changed. I was a busy, energetic woman who liked to keep on the go. I was rather casual about how I ate, what personal care lotions and potions I applied to my skin and hair, and after four years as a student in the USA, my general way of living was less than ideal. It was during the winter that I was hit with a bad case of flu. While others around me recovered, the constant fatigue and weakness that comes hand in hand with the virus, never completely left me. When it came to physical or mental exertion, I had no stamina and would have to take to my bed nearly every day to get through to the evening.

The symptoms were not only restricted to extreme fatigue. My eyesight would judder, like a TV programme with a poor signal, I would feel dizzy and have to sit down or I’d fall down, my heart would beat at 90 miles an hour just from the strain of waking up in the morning, and it felt like the signal that went from my brain to move my legs, was just not transmitting correctly. If I came in contact with any chemicals, even just to smell them, I would feel very unwell. I had bad IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), my periods became erratic and my concentration was appalling. It seemed that every function in my body was out of kilter.

After two years of relentless tests it appeared that everything that could be tested was ‘normal’. As a result, I received a diagnosis of M.E or, as it is more commonly known today, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME). Diagnosis of CFS happens with elimination of all ‘known’ conditions, and a fulfilment of several symptom criteria listed in the International Consensus Criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME).

Finally, having a diagnosis to focus on, I began to find out all I could about the illness. Year by year, I discovered that I could fight the symptoms from many different angles. This included looking carefully at what I ate and how it made me feel, managing my physical and mental output, as well as keeping my stress to a minimum. I realised that I needed to avoid harsh chemicals and that standing too long would make me very dizzy.

So gradually, living my tightly managed life, I was able to function to about 85% capacity. But still no one could tell me why my body couldn’t totally keep up with the demands of normal life.

Nineteen years on from my original diagnosis, I was faced with a frightening prospect. The CFS symptoms were getting worse again. Instead of holding ground, (my health ticking along, blighted by the odd relapse), I was in fact getting steadily weaker without reprieve.

My work and life had been getting overly busy, and I realized I was no longer living a very good lifestyle. I was once again setting up the ‘Perfect Storm’, which was taking me back to the depths of Chronic Fatigue. I felt a mix of complete bewilderment and despair arriving at this place once more, but I’d ‘recovered’ previously, so I knew I could do it again.

This time though, I was in a different situation. I had done years of studying lifestyle, health, and nutrition and I had the internet as my friend. To my delight, I found some fantastic new research, which would finally solve the mystery of why I felt like I did.

The research being done was in relation to the Mitochondria. These little sausage shaped elements of every cell in our body are fundamentally responsible for producing the magical chemical ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). ATP provides energy to our muscles and all the busy internal organs in our body, including the liver, heart and brain. Research level testing has been developed, that shows how the production of ATP, and its subsequent recycling, can be reduced and blocked.

So this then raised the question of what’s causing the blockages? To my real surprise, my test results showed it was due to various, off-the-shelf chemicals (found in, amongst other places, personal care products and household cleaners) along with a mix of nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption or diet deficiencies. In other words, modern day life was truly taking its toll!

This information about energy creation in the body all made perfect sense to me, and was why I struggled so much to keep up with everyday functions and demands. It also confirmed why the many protocols of healthy lifestyle changes, as well as good nutrition, and minimal exposure to chemicals, had produced results in the past. My slipping into bad habits, and allowing too many chemicals to enter my life had once again, gradually blocked and reduced the production of ATP in my cells. With my new knowledge to hand I could now follow an even more targeted approach to get myself back on track.

Finally, the mystery of my life was solved. Instead of 10 years, as previously, to get to the point of walking again without a stick, it took 12 months.

Reversing the effects of such imbalances in the body can be a slow process, and the lifestyle changes and nutritional needs of each person varies, but to travel with a new understanding of what was happening, gave me a sense of clarity. The open loop of the last 20 years had finally been closed.

If you’re dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME), knowledge is key, and when it comes to getting well again, Mitochondria rule!

BEX Error when trying to launch FSX

Recommended Posts

Recently, when I've tried to launch FSX, I get a fatal error message(BEX module unknown). I've tried doing a repair using the FSX DVD but it doesn't give me a repair option, it simply says removing files, copying new files, asks for disk 2 then part way through disk 2 I get an error message saying can't install smart installer. I checked my file structure and smart installer is already there. Is there any way I can copy certain folders(Sim Objects, Modules, Gauges, Add-On Scenery, Scenery)so when I uninstall, I won't have to reinstall all my add-on aircraft, add-on airports, add-on scenery etc. Refer to my system specs/info.

When you repair FSX your fsx.cfg will be deleted, your dll.xml, and possibly your scenery.cfg.  It is best to backup those folders.  With a repair you should be able to run your addons if you move the backed up files to their proper locations.  When you do a repair, you must make sure you also insert the Acceleration disk and do a repair with that too.  Or, if you just have SP2 installed, you'll need to rerun that program.

Most FSX errors can be fixed by renaming your Fsx.cfg to fsx.orig, restarting FSX and letting the config rebuild.

    VoxATC 7.42 volume control

    Seems strange John. Try this. When you start the SIM, mute it by pressing Q first, then go to cockpit view, not VC. Then start VOXATC, once it's fully completed, unmute the SIM and try. For the record i don't have to do this and it works well most of the times, however it's worth a try. Also any special sound hardware that you're using? Wireless headphones? Another thing to try is under sound in the SIM, check if your headphones is the selected device.

    VoxATC 7.42 volume control

    Hey John! In your start menu search for voice configuration. In that menu on the top you'll see volume. In that tab u should be able to adjust the rate and volume of each voice. I just set mine to full. Hope that helps.

    777 updates

    Hey Bryan So I received the mailer that November is updates month. Was wondering if the 777 would get some love? Do u have any user requests that you think you would include? A personal request of mine is to let fs2crew and gsx work better together if possible? (control doors). I know the ultimate ground crew x may do that better. I'd love to help test any of the new stuff if u need. Regards,

    GSX Library (1.5)

    The 300-er I'll try that and report back. Thanks.
  7. Falconfly

    GSX Library (1.5)

    Hey thanks for your reply I did figure that out and install the module for the 777 from the forum. However when I start p3d, Linda starts as normal. It's in sync with the Sim as well. Unfortunately when I call for catering. It keeps asking me to open doors. Do I need to do something to activate it?
  8. Falconfly

    GSX Library (1.5)

    This seems very interesting! Unfortunately i don't know how to use it. So i've downloaded the file in this post and i searched for the latest Linda version and also put it in the modules folder. After that I put the GSX library file in the Prepar3D v4\Modules\linda\libs folder After that i ran the SIM and requested catering, it still asks me to open the doors. What else do i need to do? Thanks!
  9. Hey Tyler Sorry to post on this topic! I've been having this issue with the 777 fs2crew for a while and haven't been able to fix this. Did you ever manage to fix this? Thanks!
  10. Does this work with proatc x?
  11. Falconfly

    P3D VER 4.3 wont start

    A long shot. But just check if any add ons are waiting to be enabled? Move your mouse over the p3d icon and see if there are any pop-ups waiting to be accepted.
  12. Falconfly

    Aivlasoft EFB v2 coming soon

    I really wish a ios version for the ipad was developed. But I understand there may be limitations.
  13. Falconfly

    AivlaSoft announces EFB Version 2.0

    I wonder if they plan to do a ios client?
  14. Falconfly

    Objective of UGCX

    Indeed and if they implement some kind of voice interaction then I'm sure it would be a hit! An update or video would be really nice. But I understand.

New: A daily newsletter defining what matters in business and markets

iPhone XR has been Apple's top-selling phone since launch, company says

The iphone XR

An Apple executive said Wednesday that Apple's mid-range iPhone XR has been outselling other models — including each of its two high-end siblings, the iPhone XS and XS Max — since the XR went on sale in October, CNET reports.

Why it matters: Per Axios' Ina Fried, some Apple watchers have expressed concerns about iPhone sales, in particular those of the XR. That said, Apple isn't saying how iPhone sales are doing overall, so it's tough to read too much into these comments.

The big picture: In its most recent earnings report, Apple said it didn't sell as many iPhones as analysts expected and is projected to have flat sales for the holiday season.

Separately, Apple said it has now donated more than $200 million to AIDS-related efforts through its (Product) Red partnership, including a Red version of the iPhone XR.

Welcome to the AZZOMAT website !

Azzomat founded its roots back in 1991 when owner, Joseph Azzopardi, set up a small engineering shop to cater for general engineering works. In 1998, the shop was moved to a larger facility where by 2013 additional equipment was gradually added. Owing to the interest in astronomy and astronomical equipment, Joseph was inclined in designing astronomical equipment and improving on others already in the market. The additional equipment in his workshop helped him to attain his goal and led to the introduction of the GM-20 in 2014.

Considering the low exposure done to the GM-20’s introduction and interest shown, he set out to design the XL series mounts in late 2016 following continuous research to improve the products and inputted recommendations by customers during the past three years.

The XLF was designed to cater those clients who needed an affordable, strong, lightweight and play-free mount.

The main requests were:

  • ● A more affordable mount than those found in the market.
  • ● Can hold weights up to 3kgs to take on the most popular OTA’s (optical tube assemblies).
  • ● Be able to mount with minimal or no DIY modifications on main telescope.
  • ● Be of low weight so as to minimize counterweighing problems.

Additionally, from our end we:

  • ● Introduced a standard integrated ‘V’ clamp/ azimuth drive system at the top end of our guidescope mounts.
  • ● Added a standard camera insert allowing the mounting of equipment with standard ¼” 20TPI UNC thread.
  • ● Designed to safely retain weights up to 4kgs (9lbs).
  • ● Retained the laborious full anodized body anti-corrosion procedure.
  • ● Retained full stainless steel hardware.
  • ● Re-designed the azimuth controls to eliminate backlash completely, yet remained adamant not to introduce plastic derived components.

All these led to the XLF mount design which caters for all the above points.

We will now take a closer look at this model and describe further the advantages it offers.

Similar to the previous model (GM-20), all aluminium components are anodized for a durable finish and all hardware is made of stainless steel. The livery colours are retained as those of the GM-20 mounts, that is, black anodized body with red anodized controls. However, there is a small exception in that the body is now no longer matt black in colour but flash black. This measure was taken so as to avoid the minute variations created during the etching process prior anodizing. The concept behind the trusted livery is that there is no need for the mount’s body to stand out at night. On the contrary, the adjusting knobs will, when the usual night-friendly red illumination is used. The end result; a practical, eye-catching and precise piece of equipment.

The XLF model can readily be affixed between the main telescope or a tripod and a guide scope or camera, right out of the box using the ¼” UNC thread at base or directly by two M6 bolts.

Otherwise they can be ordered with additional support options for use at the base’s end. These options are:

  • ● A shoe dovetail, to affix the unit to a readily available shoe bracket on your telescope.
  • ● And a 45mm (‘V’ type) base clamp to mount on tube affixed ‘V’ type rails.

SD (Shoe Dovetail)

VC ("V" type clamp)

The XLF guide scope mount is equipped with a ‘V’ type clamp at the top with an integrated azimuth drive. The integrated azimuth drive allows the ‘V’ clamp to turn together with the attached equipment, therefore having the azimuth drive always conveniently positioned at right angles. Another advantage is that the final mount’s weight is reduced as there is no need for an intermediate plate.

Advantages over our competitors units:

  • ● Excellent weight to load ratio.

  • ● More load capabilities for your invested money.

  • ● Guaranteed sturdy construction and exemplary backlash control.

  • ● The integrated azimuth clamp knobs are always located at right angles to the attached equipment.

  • ● Anodized black body and red control knobs and stainless steel hardware throughout.
  • ● No plastic or plastic derived components are used as these tend to wear or deform by time.

We urge you to read all the material on this site and then try any derivative of your choice out for 15 days. If not satisfied; just send it back and have the full item price refunded, no questions asked. If you decide to keep the unit, it carries a 2 year warranty to keep your mind at rest that you made the right decision.

Firek Happy Chicken Farm

By Davefirek · Jul 22, 2012 · ·
  1. Davefirek
    We are just putting the finishing touches on our 10 x 10 coup! Dave designed it so that there was a sheltered "egg collection" area for me to store feed, bedding, egg cartons, etc. It is covered in Hemlock on the exterior, the interior has reclaimed wood from a farm down the road. My husband is a contractor, so a lot of the materials were from homes that were replacing windows or doors. It has been relatively low cost - just lumber and stain. The roof has an egg inlay that he did for me! What a guy! We have 16 Golden Comets who started laying at only 14 weeks! We homeschool so this has been a great experience for all of us!
    [IMG]Almost finished with the Hemlock - notice the egg inlay in the roof

    [IMG]entrance - egg station is enclosed - for protection against the elements!

    [IMG]foundation - we actually used old telephone pole to sink into the ground with cement to build our foundation

    [IMG]First wall up with our son!

Tell us a little bit about yourself..

My name is Jokke summer & I am twenty eight years old from Norway, I am a wing suit proximity flyer originally which is an extreme sport that lets you fly across nature between trees and all these weird places. I also like to surf as a hobby and go sky diving a lot for training and stuff like this, in short I enjoy extreme sports.

Tell us about your experience being in Bahrain for the First time ?

I love it I think it’s a beautiful country, for some reason I fell in love with the Middle east and I am planning to move to it. There are beautiful buildings here in Bahrain that I hopefully want to do something special with in the upcoming year. I really feel welcomed in this country with all its warm people offering amazing treatment, indeed I simply love it.

So your immediate thought whenever you see a building is “Can I Jump off this building”?

YES that’s like instant reflex on my mind! And the buildings here in Bahrain are very interesting for example the world trade center I want to do something which will be the biggest stunt in my life with it and will definitely put Bahrain on the map!

You opened up for the Six hours race that happened in the BIC can you tell us about this crazy jump !

We checked out the wind and made sure everything is okay then got up on the chopper and circled around until we decided on a nice spot and then we jump and create a show! This time it was having the Redbull drifter drifting his way on land while I am flying and then when I almost hit the landing area he was drifting around me and I hope everybody enjoyed that show and the tricks because I certainly enjoyed my time.

As a Redbull athlete can you share your interesting moments, positives and negatives of this extreme sport ?

In the end I don’t have so many bad moments except the fact that you are in a sport that does kill a lot of your friends, ofcourse it’s a very big down side of it. But the positive side is EVERYTHING, the traveling the adrenaline the people you get to meet, its so interesting especially when you combine your passion with business. Thanks to Redbull and my other sponsors who made it possible for me to achieve those moments in my life where I feel like I grew as a human being, and indeed we have our funny moments and the good times with the friends doing these abnormal things that I was dreaming about since I was a kid.

How did you get into this dangerous sport, was it always your dream ?

I had dreams before of maybe becoming a pilot but actually my biggest dream was to be an astronaut..

So you always wanted to fly !

Haha YEAH I really was dreaming of flying things when I was younger, I didn’t know that I will be able to fly myself and I am very happy that I can do that now. And have my passion as my job. I am also very humbled and thankful that you just gotta enjoy the moments!

What message would you like to give all the youth out there who have dreams just like you did ?

When I grew up I was very bad in school in the beginning the teachers didn’t give me much attention and they actually said that I would never become something and stuff like this. In the end growing up in this time is a major challenge, it has a lot of pressure and things to figure out from the society and how the system works it’s really important for you to ignore the people who try to let you down and just follow your passion without being afraid to getting hurt or failure because if you are not following what you really want to do and if you don’t enjoy the moments you have on this planet, you are failing anyways! If you are spending time doing things that you don’t like to do then it’s just a waste of your time. I believe everyone is different and but as long as you put the main focus on the side and do what you love, it will take you far because passion gives you what you need in life to survive. Life is just a game and you need to play it well for your own sake.

Don’t follow other’s footsteps was Jokke’s last advice for our readers. What an incredible inspirational personality, we were more than happy to see him live in action and get this exclusive interview with him. We wish him all the best and hope we see him again in Bahrain soon!

Narayana Kocherlakota discusses practical policy evaluation at 16th Economics "Trobada"

Narayana Kocherlakota chats with Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors at the Trobada

The 16th annual Barcelona GSE Economics "Trobada" took place on October 5, 2018 at the UPF Balmes Building in downtown Barcelona. The "Trobada" is held at the beginning of every academic year so that Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors from all academic units as well as post-docs and PhD students can get together to welcome new colleagues and catch up on the latest research in the community.

Welcoming new Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors

This year, the Barcelona GSE welcomes three new Affiliated Professors:

Joan Monràs (UPF and Barcelona GSE)
PhD, Columbia University
Research Interests: Labor Economics, Urban Economics, International Trade

David Rossell (UPF and Barcelona GSE)
PhD, Rice and University of Texas MD Anderson
Research Interests: High-dimensional Inference, Experimental Design, Dimensionality Reduction, Applied Statistical Modelling

Victoria Vanasco (CREI, UPF and Barcelona GSE)
PhD, University of California, Berkeley
Research Interests: Corporate Finance, Security Design, Asymmetric Information, Mechanism Design, Macrofinance

Professor Monràs was one of two Affiliated Professors who presented research at the "Trobada", speaking on "Immigration and Host Economies." A non-technical summary of his work on this topic was recently published by VoxEU. The other presenter was Amedeo Piolatto (UAB and Barcelona GSE), who spoke about his work on "Political Economy and Digital Economics."

Video: Narayana Kocherlakota, "Practical Policy Evaluation"

This edition of the "Trobada" featured a special presentation by Narayana Kocherlakota (University of Rochester) on "Practical Policy Evaluation." Professor Kocherlakota is the former President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis (United States).

The "Trobada" is one of the Barcelona GSE research initiatives supported by the Severo Ochoa Research Excellence Accreditation.

Philippe Aghion delivers Barcelona GSE Lecture on missing growth

Immediately following the "Trobada," Barcelona GSE researchers were joined by students in the Master's programs and other guests for the 39th Barcelona GSE Lecture. The speaker was Philippe Aghion (College de France and London School of Economics), who presented work he's doing on "Rethinking Growth: The Schumpeterian Perspective."

Pass a good time in Acadiana on this alphabetical tour of Cajun country and culture. The sights, sounds, and smells of all things Cajun two-step off the page as readers are introduced to the ABCs of the unique customs of the Cajun people. From the alligators in the bayou to the stars of the zydeco stage, the food, music, literature, and language unique to the people of southern Louisiana are delightfully rhymed and beautifully illustrated. This lively yet educational jaunt showcases the famous Cajun joie de vivre and sets the stage for the reader’s own Acadian adventures.

With a heritage firmly rooted in the bayous and marshes of Louisiana for more than 240 years, the Cajun people have established a way of life that reflects triumph over struggle.

Author Rickey Pittman and illustrator Alexis Braud honor the proud history that has turned life into a celebration, from the fanfare of a holiday bonfire on the levee or the joy of a fais-do-do to the simple pleasure of a shared family meal. Detailed illustrations capture in spirited authenticity the tradition of the courir de Mardi Gras, highlight in vivid brushstrokes the beauty of Acadiana’s famous landmarks and landscapes, and showcase the legendary characters who call south Louisiana their home.

From the smallest details of daily life to the fantastical fifolet of Cajun folklore, the spirit and the spice of Cajun country infuse these pages. A glossary of terms completes this beautiful primer to a unique way of life

Once Upon a SEAL 4 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
BuckeyeAngel More than 1 year ago
**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddie Benson's entire life has been focused around the small town of Sugar Falls. When she makes a home delivery to the one person in town she doesn't know, she can't help but be curious and pulled to him, regardless of the fact that he was rude and she didn't even see him. Sebastian McIntyre is a former Navy SEAL. He was forced into early retirement and into self-reclusion. Maddy is the first person he's "met" in years that's made him want to reach out to another human being besides his sister. Maddy decides to take him his weekly deliveries and a bond is formed even though a wall separates them. Will Maddy ever get Bastion to trust enough in her to let her see him? Maddy is a pretty typical small town girl. She's bright, curious, bubbly and even stereotypically blond. Normally I don't really care for those types of characters, but in this case she is exactly what Bastion needs to rejoin the land of the living. In the beginning of the book, he's in a very dark place with no hope of digging out of his hole. Maddy helps him and allows him to grow just enough by the end of the book that he's finally ready to heal. Overall, I really liked this book. Once I started reading it, I didn't really stop until I finished it. It was pretty quick and well written. I would recommend it to anyone that likes military romance books.

Product InformationStore Part Number: PC545

Odyssey (Drycell) batteries are military grade batteries and have endured rigorous tests that demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse. The Odyssey battery offers higher cranking amps and additional reserve capacity as compared to the stock battery. Adding water is a thing of the past, and corrosion will cease to exist. A couple of other great attributes are vibration resistance and low internal discharge rate, thus offering physical endurance and superior off-season storage potential. A life span of 5 plus years can be expected if the Odyssey is fully charged and stored in the non-use season. An unbelievable 2 year warranty is standard on this Made in the USA battery..

  • Odyssey Maintenance Free Drycell Battery
  • Maintenance Free
  • Sealed design
  • No liquid Zero corrosion
  • Absorbed glass mat technology
  • Exceptional heat and vibration resistance
  • Very low self-discharge rate
  • Extremely High Cranking Amps
  • Extra heavy duty terminal design

Odyssey is the best battery you can buy, offering the most cranking power available of any battery its size, a whooping 460 amps for 5 seconds when full charged. The physical case size of the PC545 was designed for military applications and may not be a perfect fit for your application as it is sometimes a bit smaller; but more powerful; than the original battery. In some applications minor cable modifications maybe required.

Solar Charge Controllers

Charging batteries with solar power is great on the environment and for batteries. Charging and maintaining batteries through solar will result in better battery performance and longer battery life. With solar chargers rated 15 watts or more, we recommend the use of a controller. It's no surprise that if a battery reaches full charge, but the sun keeps on shining, you risk overcharging the battery. Solar controllers regulate the voltage output from the solar panel and prevent batteries from being overcharged.

Solar Charging Options

Choose from brands like Sunsei,Solsum, Global Solar, Sun Saver, BatteryMinder, and Steca with ranges from 12 volts 1 amp, to 12/24 volt at 30 amps. Make sure that you are sizing your system correctly. If you need assistance please check out our tutorials: how batteries work, and our Solar Chargers tutorial for answers, or you can email us, or call us at 541-474-4421. Also available is our Solar Calculator to assist you in sizing your unique solar system.

Hannover 0-4 Bayern Munich: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Alaba Screamer Crowns Perfect Display

Bayern Munich continued their fine form in the Bundesliga by registering a breathtaking 4-0 win over a relegation-threatened Hannover 96 at the HDI Arena, closing the gap on league leaders Borussia Dortmund to just six points.

Joshua Kimmich set the tone for the game after 63 seconds by scoring a sublime volley following a half-hearted clearance from Felipe, and Bayern Munich’s other full back David Alaba went one better by doubling their lead with a rocket into the top corner after half an hour.

Serge Gnabry got his name on the scoresheet early in the second half, although the Germany international did need a slice of luck to have a second bite of the cherry and eventually score after his first effort was blocked by Kevin Wimmer.

Kimmich proved decisive in Bayern Munich’s fourth goal by keeping the ball alive to tee up Robert Lewandowski, who nodded in the simplest goal he’ll score all season to round off the scoring in Lower Saxony.

Bayern Munich

Key Talking Point

Bayern Munich looked back to their best on Saturday largely thanks to their persistence with pressing from the front. This kept Hannover pegged back in their own half for the majority of the match, mitigating any threat that the hosts could have possed.

On top of that, the Bavarians were incredibly sensible in possession. Niko Kova?’s side made their chances count when they came around, and Bayern Munich were only denied a bigger scoreline thanks to an impressive performance from Michael Esser.

Player Ratings

Neuer (7) Kimmich (8) Süle (7) Hummels (7) Alaba (8) Thiago (9*) Goretzka (7) Gnabry (8) Müller (6) Coman (6) Lewandowski (8).

Substitutes: Sanches (6) Rafinha (6) Wagner (N/A).

Star Man

He might not grab the headlines, but Bayern Munich’s only irreplaceable player right now seems to be Thiago Alcântara. He’s known for his creativity and flair, but the Spaniard’s role in the heart of their midfield proved impossible for Hannover to deal with on Saturday.

Everything good that the visitors were able to muster came through the former Barcelona star, with his range of passing opening up Hannover with ease. On to of that, Thiago’s close control allowed his to escape an danger in possession and he did more than enough defensively too.

Worst Player

French winger Kingsley Coman looked off the pace against Hannover, although that can be forgiven considering the former Juventus star has only recently returned from injury.

Hannover 96 v FC Bayern Muenchen - Bundesliga

Thomas Müller, on the other hand, put in yet another disappointing performance – not his first of the season – at the HDI Arena. The Raumdeuter wasn’t on the same wavelength as his teammates and wasted a handful of good goalscoring opportunities throughout.

Hannover 96

Player Ratings

Esser (7) Felipe (4) Anton (5) Wimmer (6) Ostrzolek (7) Haraguchi (5) Walace (5) Schwegler (6) Asano (6) Füllkrug (5) Weydandt (7).

Substitutes: Maina (5) Muslija (6) Elez (6).

Looking Ahead

Bayern Munich have two must-win games in the pipeline before the winter break, where they’ll host RB Leipzig before hitting the road to take on Eintracht Frankfurt.

Hannover, meanwhile, will be looking to claw their way out of the automatic relegation places when they take on SC Freiburg and Fortuna Düsseldorf.

90min’s Definitive European Power Rankings: Week 15 – UEFA Champions League Group Stage Special

Welcome to another edition of 90min’s DEFINITIVE European Power Rankings. With the culmination of the Champions League group stage, we thought it would be apt to make this week’s list a UCL special. That means that teams absent from the competition are exempt, even those recently knocked out.

We also thought it apt that the accompanying film quotes this week be provided by the works of the McDonagh brothers, Martin and John Michael, because, as the saying goes, and as Atletico Madrid found out, When In Bruges…

It will take into account not only the most recent round of action, but the group stage as a whole, and assess how these teams are shaping up for the knockout round. With 15 places available, there’s also room for one high profile exclusion. Stay tuned.

15. Manchester United

“You know, if you hadn’t stopped coming to church you’d have a little bit more understanding of people’s feelings.” (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)

Let’s not beat about the bush, the team who’s missed out is Schalke 04, ok? Sorry, they’re just boring, alright? Ok.

Right, now that’s dealt with, here’s Manchester United – a team only slightly more interesting than Schalke. Ever so slightly.

And that’s only because of the inevitable thrill that will come following United’s ignominious last 16 exit to Porto, and Jose Mourinho’s post-match combustion. Also, that Phil Jones own goal was genuinely world class.

14. Porto

“You think I care about dentists?…I don’t care about dentists…Nobody cares about dentists.” (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MIssouri)

The top point scorers in the group, with five wins and one draw, how could we put them 14th?!?!?

Well, if you think we care about that, you’ve got another thing coming. Porto are the dentists of this Champions League campaign – there, we said it.

Their group exploits have been sincerely impressive, but if you think they’re genuine contenders, at least after they’ve beat United in the last 16, then think again.

13. Ajax

“You will not get the crowd to cry hossana, until you ride into town on an ass – Nietzsche.” (The Guard)

That bewildering quote, which in the film is summoned to bewilder cops at a murder scene from realising that a killing was actually due to a drugs trade, ties in nicely with that bewildering night at the Amsterdam Arena.

Nothing made sense, everything that could happen did happen, and in the end nothing came about or changed because of it. Absolutely bewildering. Ajax are definitely back though, I think.

12. Roma

“All this anger, man, it just begets greater anger.” (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)

Yes, Roma will be angry with their final performance of the group stage, but last year’s semi finalists will have to dust that frustration off if they are to compete at a similar level this year.

While a tough draw may await, the Romans have been faintly good this campaign, without being great, and could certainly spring a surprise or two, as long as they keep their emotions in check.

11. Lyon

Paulo: “Put your hands up.” Hans: “No.” P: “What?” H: “I said no.” P: “Why not?” H: “I don’t want to.” P: “But I’ve got a gun.” H: “I don’t care.” P: “That doesn’t make any sense.” H: “Too bad.” (Seven Psychopaths)

That charming exchange sounds a lot like Lyon’s two clashes with Manchester City in Europe this season.

They failed to bow to convention, upending Pep Guardiola’s gameplans time and again. In that spirit, they’ve proved that, in a one-off game, they could beat anyone.

10. Tottenham

“I’ll take it as it comes, if it’s all the same to you.” (The Guard)

Some rival fans were lessening Tottenham’s last-gasp heroics at the Nou Camp, belittling them with pointers about the legitimacy of Barcelona’s starting XI. But Spurs will take it as it comes, as the quote says.

As this is a man’s dying words, it may also double as a timely phrase for when Spurs inevitably draw Juventus in the last 16 and are subsequently battered, if it’s all the same to you.

9. Real Madrid

“I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say.” (In Bruges)

That piece of inept attempted robbery sounds a lot like Real Madrid’s ventures against CSKA Moscow this season.

I mean, that 3-0 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu was harrowing stuff, it really was. A fourth consecutive title is looking less and less likely, even if Europe has been their salvation this season – save for their Russian encounters.

8. Bayern Munich

“I used to hate history. It’s all a lot of stuff that’s already f*ckin’ happened.” (In Bruges)

Yes, Bayern’s clash with Ajax was great fun and everything, but it also must’ve been highly concerning for FC Hollywood.

Because their script is turning more and more into a tragedy with every passing page. Akin to Real, Europe has been their saving grace this campaign amidst sincere domestic woes, but perhaps this most recent round of action showed the structural malaise that persists at the heart of both.

7. Atletico Madrid

“A great day this has turned out to be. I’m suicidal, me mate tries to kill me, me gun gets nicked and we’re still in f*cking Bruges.” (In Bruges)

It’s weird. Diego Simeone actually kind of looks like Colin Farrell in ‘In Bruges’ here. It’s quite disconcerting.

In any case, he certainly wouldn’t have disagreed with most of Farrell’s statements about the city of Bruges. True, not all of the above will apply – it’s only football, after all – but still, when you need a win in Bruges to top the group, and you don’t get in, it sticks like it would in no other European city. Because, well, it’s Bruges.

6. Liverpool

“Ray, you’re about the worst tourist in the world.” (In Bruges)

Yes, Liverpool made it through. Yes, it was kind of an admirable performance. But Napoli still bottled it, and the Reds are still the same team who have lost every single away game they’ve played in Europe this season.

They will surely be force in the rounds to come, but their poor record as tourists should be cause for concern.

5. Manchester City

Francis: “Name your favourite philosopher, and lo and behold he’s English.” Clive: “Bertrand Russell was Welsh.” F: Bertrand Russell was Welsh? You know I never knew that, didn’t think anybody interesting was Welsh.” (The Guard)

Lo and behold, Phil Foden and Leroy Sane aren’t welsh.

But they were both in sparkling form for Manchester City against Hoffenheim on Wednesday. Even if they’ve been momentarily toppled from the summit of the Premier League, City’s squad depth remains wholly enviable.

A few performances like that from the youngsters, and David Silva may have a tougher time of it coming back than he would’ve thought. Again, David Silva, not Welsh, unfortunately.

4. Paris Saint-Germain

“Is that real leather?” (The Guard)

Ahhh, Paris Saint-Germain – one big happy family. Well, that’s what I’ve heard.

At the end of the day, whether the sentiments are real or not doesn’t really matter. As long as they keep putting together performances. Although, the thing about fake leather is, it never holds together as long as you think it will.

We’ll see how stern PSG’s is in good time.

3. Borussia Dortmund

“It’s a kidnapped dog. You don’t just give back a kidnapped dog. Defeats the entire object of the kidnapping.” (Seven Psychopaths)

Jadon Sancho was given a well earned rest against AS Monaco on Tuesday night, when Borussia Dortmund clinched top spot in Group A.

But, despite Sancho’s recent contract extension, rumours continue to circulate surrounding the possibility of him returning to Manchester City. Now, what would the point in that be? Doesn’t it defeat the entire point of signing a player?

Doesn’t it? Anyway, Dortmund are a definite threat this year. Definitely.

2. Juventus

“That’s what I’ve always liked about you, Father. You’re just a little too smart for this parish.” (Calvary)

That right there certainly sums up Juventus’ predicament, if they do have one. Unfortunately, Serie A just isn’t strong enough for them right now, even with all the moves made by the Milanese clubs and Napoli in the summer.

Wednesday night’s surprise loss at Young Boys showed the issues this can hold, and I Bianconeri will need to be wary of any subconscious complacency settling in. Their primary hopes this season depend on it.

1. Barcelona

“It’s not often you come across that kind of integrity in this business.” (The Guard)

Not only did Barcelona honour Inter by scoring the first goal in an encounter many thought they would deliberately sabotage, they also offered an olive branch of a goal to Spurs at the last minute for their enduring efforts throughout the competition.

What good samaritans. And they’re certainly good this year, Barca. Frighteningly good. Frightening enough to top these prestigious (and DEFINITIVE) rankings from the group stage. They were unbeaten (in a real group, Porto, ok?) and have the (fifth) best player in the world.

Ominously, frighteningly, GOOD.

Barcelona Suffer Setback in Pursuit of Kai Havertz as Midfielder Eyes Bayern Munich Move

?Barcelona have reportedly given up in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Kai Havertz due to the player having his heart set on a move to Bayern Munich.

Havertz has attracted much attention so far this season after scoring seven goals in 20 appearances for Leverkusen, earning himself a pair of Germany caps earlier in the process.

1. FC Nuernberg v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Bundesliga

?Barca and ?Bayern were thought to be the frontrunners for the 19-year-old’s signature, with the club holding ‘maximum’ interest in his signature, but German outlet Bild have reported (via ?Mundo Deportivo) that the Catalan giants have learned that the player has no desire to play for them.

Instead, it’s thought that the player wants to stay in the ?Bundesliga, and sees Bayern as his future destination.

His seven goals in all competitions have already eclipsed the four he managed in the entire of last season, as he’s been an increasingly crucial part of the Leverkusen starting XI.

Having topped their Europa League group after a 5-1 win over AEK Larnaca on the final day, they sit 11th in the Bundesliga, some way short of where they would expect to be at this point.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen v VfB Stuttgart - Bundesliga

With that being the case, they will hope that Bayern will wait until the summer to make an offer for the prodigal young talent.

Transfer Rumours: Denis Suarez to Arsenal, Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayern & More

January is soon, now. Very soon.

It’s just over a couple of weeks away, and that means the transfer window is coming with it. Get prepared for a truckload of stories on Jose Mourinho moaning (more of them, somehow), dozens of transfers being confirmed, and seemingly thousands of potential moves being discussed.

It can be a stressful and annoying time, but hopefully you’ll enjoy this little summary of the top transfer gossip from around the Premier League this Friday.

6. West Brom & Watford Interested as Cardiff Striker Is Set for Release

First of all, a big massive “don’t care” for anyone but Cardiff City, West Brom and Watford fans. Yes, all of you!

Bluebirds striker Ibrahim Meite is on his way out next month on a free transfer, according to the Mail, after making just two first team appearances since he joined in January 2017 – and both the Baggies and the Hornets have been credited with interest.

The likes of Saint-Etienne, Spartak Moscow and Hannover have also been talked up as potential destinations for the former Crawley loanee.

5. Wolves Deal for Leicester & Southampton Target Stalls

Wolves’ talks over a deal for Japanese midfielder Shoya Nakajima have stalled, leaving the deal in doubt, and in turn allowing Southampton or Leicester a shot at signing the player instead.

Record carry quotes from Rodiney Sampaio, president of Nakajima’s current club Portimonense, and he’s confirmed that there’s been a lack of progress on Wolves’ front in terms of completing a deal.

He said: “I said last week that there was a 20 percent gap to close the transfer of Nakajima to Wolverhampton and since then no steps have been taken so that other interested parties can come up with better conditions.”

He also explained that Wolves “do not have any priority and are open other possibilities”, while adding “one of them is the continuity of Nakajima until the end of the season. We believe he will play for Japan in the Asian Cup [next January], and he can value himself even more.”

4. Hudson-Odoi a ‘Serious Candidate’ for Bayern Munich

Among English football’s newest trends are Liverpool actually managing to convince people outside of their own fans that they’re actually good, and young English wingers going to the Bundesliga to absolutely smash it.

See the Premier League table, Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson.

The latest young English winger linked with a move to Germany is Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is notoriously very talented but struggling for game time under Maurizio Sarri. And SportBild journalist Christian Falk claims Bayern Munich are interested in signing him.

Arjen Robben will leave in the summer, Franck Ribery too, most likely, so regeneration is needed – and Falk has tweeted that Hudson-Odoi is a “serious candidate” to step in. If they can get him, of course.

3. Barcelona Set Bargain £14m Price for Arsenal & Chelsea Target Denis Suarez

Barcelona have offered Denis Suarez to Arsenal, as the Gunners seek out a long-term replacement for departing midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

Suarez has been barely used by Ernesto Valverde over the course of the season and could be tempted by north London if Arsenal want him, as he’s already spent some time playing under Unai Emery at Sevilla.

The Independent report that Suarez has been offered to a range of clubs – Chelsea have been linked too recently – and could cost as little as £14m.

2. Newcastle & Man City Tracking Japanese Winger Ritsu Doan

Newcastle have taken a look at 20-year-old Japanese winger Ritsu Doan ahead of next month’s January transfer window.

Doan, who plays in the Dutch Eredivisie with Groningen, has a price tag of £1.7m – a figure of money that most of us likely have forgotten even existed in today’s market – and Newcastle are reported to have a chance of signing him as they’re able to offer regular football. Man City, another linked club, most likely can’t, given they’re a better football team and that.

Chronicle Live carry the story, citing sources in Holland themselves.

Doan is an international teammate of Yoshinori Muto, and has three caps for the Japanese senior team so far. He was also on this year’s Kopa Trophy shortlist along with Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

1. Galatasaray President Flies to England to Try to Sell 18-Year-Old to United, Obviously

Galatasaray president Mustafa Cengiz has met with Manchester United over a potential deal for 18-year-old centre back Ozan Kabak.

(Yes, Manchester United have been linked with another centre back. I’m counting at least 42 so far this year. Honest. Proof to come soon).

Turkish source Aksam, via M.E.N., claim Cengiz flew to England for discussions, and he’s chasing a €20m fee from United. Man City and Arsenal have been linked too in recent weeks.

The question remains though – is that top centre back that’ll solve all of United’s issues in Jose Mourinho’s eyes an 18-year-old kid from Turkey?

No, obviously.

Not familiar with the name, though? Check out a few things to know about Ozan Kabak just here.

Hannover vs Bayern Munich Preview: Where to Watch, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News

Bayern Munich will look to crown their passage into the Last 16 of the Champions League as the table toppers of Group E with three vital points on the road to Hannover 96 when Bundesliga action returns this weekend.

The Bavarians will be looking to keep pace with Borussia Dortmund at the top of the league table, but Niko Kovac’s side will need Borussia Mönchengladbach to drop points away at Hoffenheim to move into second.

Ajax v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Group E

Here’s 90min’s preview for Saturday’s clash in Lower Saxony.

How to Watch

When is Kick Off? Saturday, December 15
What Time is Kick Off? 14:30 (BST)
Where Is it Played? HDI Arena
TV Channel/Live Stream? Sky Sport Bundesliga (Germany), bet365.
Referee? TBC

The return of Kingsley Coman in midweek will significantly ease Bayern Munich’s injury concerns, although Corentin Tolisso and James Rodriguez are still missing from their first team squad.

Hannover, meanwhile, will most notably be without forward Ihlas Bebou this weekend, while there is also doubt over Noah Sarenren Bazee, Edgar Prib and Walace’s availability for their match against Bayern Munich. Defender Oliver Sorg is suspended.

Predicted Lineups

Hannover 96 Esser, Wimmer, Anton, Elez, Haraguchi, Schwegler, Asano, Walace, Ostrzolek, Füllkrug, Wood.
Bayern Munich Neuer, Kimmich, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba, Sanches, Thiago, Gnabry, Müller, Coman, Lewandowski.

Head to Head Record

Hannover are without a point against Bayern Munich since 2011, a year where they secured back-to-back wins over the Bavarians at the HDI Arena.

Hannover 96 v FC Bayern Muenchen - Bundesliga

In Bundesliga history, Bayern Munich have claimed a win over Die Roten (a nickname which is also often used for Bayern) on 39 occasions. Hannover have won nine meetings, while eight have ended in a draw.

This fixture has only ever finished goalless once. That result came a few years after the Bundesliga as it’s known today was created in 1962 as Bayern Munich weren’t a founding member of the league.

Recent Form

The census seems to be that both sides will be coming into the match with clouds hanging over them, yet only Hannover are in any real danger of their season fully imploding, as André Breitenreiter’s side currently occupy an automatic relegation spot in the Bundesliga.

There is only one point between Hannover and safety, but even that small margin can feel like a mountain to climb at the wrong end of the table, especially with Bayern Munich next up on the fixture list.

Hannover 96 Bayern Munich?
Mainz 1-1 Hannover (09/12) Ajax 3-3 Bayern Munich (12/12)
Hannover 0-2 Hertha (01/12) Bayern Munich 3-0 Nurnberg (08/12)
Gladbach 4-1 Hannover (25/11) Werder Bremen 1-2 Bayern Munich (01/12)
Hannover 2-1 Wolfsburg (09/11) Bayern Munich 5-1 Benfica (27/11)
Schalke 3-1 Hannover (03/11) Bayern Munich 3-3 Fortuna (24-11)

This might be treading dangerously close to becoming a commentator’s curse (or, as a writer, perhaps we’ll call it a journalist’s jinx) moment, but Hannover against Bayern Munich is one of the easiest games to predict.

The hosts are languishing at the bottom of the Bundesliga table and have scored just one goal in December, while Bayern Munich have found the back of the net eight times this month.

FC Bayern Muenchen v 1. FC Nuernberg - Bundesliga

Having failed to claim even a point against the Bavarians in seven years, it’s hard to picture the relegation-threatened side getting anything from this game, and it has all the hallmarks of a game where the only prediction to make is how many Hannover will lose by.

Prediction: Hannover 1-4 Bayern Munich
