As we all know, Alfred Hitchcock was renowned for his cameo appearances in the films he directed. In his 1940 film "Foreign Correspondent", the Hotel de l'Europe in Amsterdam was used as a location and early on in the movie Hitchcock can be seen walking past the hotel, reading a newspaper. In a(nother) famous scene in the film, the (partially defective) lights on the roof of the hotel read:  "Hot Europe" - a reference to the political situation at the time. Hitchcocks film and the war that it presaged, when the hotel was occupied by German officers, were only scenes in the long history of De l'Europe, one of the (few) grand traditional hotels in Amsterdam, and of the site on which it is built. The Hotel l'Europe is located right in city centre of Amsterdam on the river Amstel that gives the city (and the restaurant) its name; it is an oasis of tranquillity among the hustle and bustle outside (which is fun to watch).

The current building was constructed in the late 19th century and opened as a luxury hotel in 1896. The history of this site goes back much further however. As early as 1638 an inn was built here, on the foundations of the "Rondeel" tower that had been constructed as part of the city's defences in 1535. A 1772 newspaper article refers to an inn called "Wapen van Amsterdam" ("The Amsterdam Arms") on this site. In 2008-2011 the hotel (owned by Heineken) was extended and underwent extensive refurbishment. The hotel's fine dining restaurant re-opened in July 2012 and was re-named Bord'eau. Its predecessor was called Excelsior and was one of only eight restaurants to be awarded a Michelin star in the first Michelin Guide for the Netherlands in 1957, which it held until 1970. It also was awarded a star from 1987 - 1992.

At the helm of the kitchen at Bord'eau are executive chef Richard van Oostenbrugge and head chef Thomas Groot, both previously of Envy restaurant in Amsterdam. Also part of the team is consulting chef Robert Kranenborg, a culinary icon in the Dutch food world, who was awarded two Michelin stars at restaurant La Rive in the Amstel Hotel in the 1990's.

Bord'eau is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday till Saturday (no lunch on Saturday) and apart from the a la carte menu, the restaurant offers several multi-course menus. There's a 4-course menu for €73, a 5-course menu for €83 and a 6-course menu for €93. For lunch the restaurant also serves a 2- course menu for €38, a 3-course menu for €48 and a 4-course menu for €58. I had lunch at Bord'eau on 21 September 2012 and ordered the 6-course menu with an extra cheese course.

First I was offered a cup of invigorating and fragrant lavender tea, together with a refreshing towel. Soon after some nibbles arrived: (i) Celeriac cylinder filled with fresh white crab meat, a wonderful combination and I loved the touch of sweetness from both the crab and the celeriac - (ii) Parmesan 'twigs' served with a cumin dip; the twig was nice and crisp and the dip was wonderfully creamy, but the thick consistency made it a bit difficult the actually use as a dip - (iii) 'Bloedworst' (Boudin Noir) crisps served with a 'bloedworst' dip, nice wafer-thin crisps and the mayo-like dip was delicious, with nice subtle black pudding flavours - (iv) Artichoke cakes topped with some anchovy crème, a lovely cake with a nice light and moist consistency with good intense artichoke flavours. A wonderful selection of nibbles; creative and original presentation.

Next an amuse bouche: Tomatoes, celery, horseradish ice cream and tomato juices. Fresh and juicy tomato varieties, with lovely rounded meaty flavours and delicious flavoursome tomato juices. Nice flavour and warmth from the horseradish ice cream. A well-balanced and elegant amuse-bouche.

The bread: not home-made but very good quality.

The first course of the tasting menu was Cod lamellae, cauliflower, XO sauce, shallots, nasturtium flowers and leaves. Wonderful fresh and creamy cod served with some thinly shaved cauliflower on top and a fantastic XO sauce that was a perfect accompaniment for the cod and added nice depth of flavour to the dish. Lovely bite from the cauliflower and lightly charred shallots. Nice colour and light peppery flavours from the nasturtium although the edges of the leaves were rather sharp and not very easy to eat.

Second course: Veal tartare, sour cream, confit potato, bone marrow and caviar. A perfectly clean and polished marrow bone, filled with a fresh veal tartare, covered with sour cream and topped with caviar. The veal tartare was was well seasoned and had a lovely fine texture, without being too smooth. The sour cream and salty caviar really enhanced the delicate veal flavours. Accompanying the tartare was a perfect, thin sourdough crisp covered with thinly sliced confit potato and a bone marrow dressing which had a lovely touch of acidity. Divine bone marrow and fantastic buttery potatoes, an absolutely wonderful flavour combination. A glorious dish that was perfectly executed and had a fabulous presentation. Hurrah!

On to the third course; Langoustine, chicken skin, chestnuts, chicken liver, parsley root and white wine vinegar. Lovely tender and translucent langoustines and terrific, crisp and salty chicken skin, accompanied by an excellent rich and and smooth chicken liver sauce and a creamy and smooth parsley root puree. Lovely touch of acidity from the pickled parsley root discs and dots of white wine jelly which added a touch of lightness to the dish and thus provided perfect balance. Last but not least, some chestnut shavings, delivering warmth and a touch of sweetness.

Fourth course: Red mullet, 'jus Bécasse', artichokes, watercress and toast rotie. Perfectly cooked red mullet with a fantastic thin and crisp sourdough 'skin', served with a marvellous 'jus Bécasse' made from the red mullet. As in the original woodcock jus, the red mullet liver is part of the sauce as is the rest of the fish. A gorgeous, rich jus that had a bisque-like depth of flavour. Some of the red mullet liver was served on a wonderful crisp 'toast rotie'. The lovely crisp watercress was nice and peppery. With the dish came a cup of pu'er tea which combined beautifully. A terrific dish that showed skill and originality, with great flavours and textures.

The fifth course was: Wild duck (breast and leg), spices, corn, red and green cabbage, 'jus de presse' with bloedworst. Tender and moist duck breast, seasoned with a lovely winter-warm spice mixture with wonderful light notes of star anise. The skin on the leg was crispy, but rather dry. The 'jus de presse' was rich yet elegant and the pieces of bloedworst added extra depth of flavour. Wonderful sweetness from the freshly roasted corn and the smooth and creamy corn puree. The pickled cabbage leaves helped to cut through the richness of the dish. A delightful dish with a nice balance of flavours.

On to the cheese course. Bord'eau has a lovely selection of well-matured cheeses including some fantastic Dutch hard cheeses and with the cheese they served a terrific local 'vintage 2012' honey.

Last course, dessert. In fact there were two different desserts which I shared with my table companion. First the chocolate dessert, made with Manjari and Garnacha, that has quickly become Bord'eau's signature dish: a stunning golden chocolate balloon. When some white chocolate sauce was poured over the balloon, the balloon cracked/melted and revealed the different textures of chocolate inside. This stunning dessert was followed by peach: wonderful, light peach ice cream made to look like a peach, with an edible, crisp almond "stone", served with some delicious slices of fresh wild peach, buttery crumbs and pistachio creme. Two marvellous desserts that showcased great skill.

Bord'eau is a restaurant that ticks many boxes. The team is young and ambitious and has the skill to back it up, both in the kitchen and in front of house. Unfortunately the proclamations of the restaurant's greatness on the hotel website come across as rather pompous. The food however is attractive and elegant; dishes are internationally styled and designed and prepared with great care and precision. There were some very inventive and original dishes on the menu and there were interesting flavour combinations to be enjoyed. The cuisine at Bord'eau cleverly balances classic techique and contemporary styling. I was very impressed with the performance of this restaurant that had only been open for little more than a year when I visited.  Wine Spectator has already recognised the quality of Bord'eau's wine list; the restaurant was awarded a Best Award of Excellence (878 winners world-wide). If my experience is representative for the quality level that Bord'eau regularly achieves (and why wouldn't it be), surely a Michelin star in next year's guide is a matter of course.

This Is the Room Where Jon Meacham Makes History

In the esteemed historian’s private office and library, he can keep things just as cluttered as he likes.

It started with the presidential busts. My wife, Keith, and I have long disagreed about the aesthetic value of my collection of noble heads of our former leaders, purchased at minimal cost to me (and to her), at presidential-library gift shops. So when I walked into my study one afternoon to find my busts hidden in a cabinet, I knew it was only a matter of time before Keith would fully take over the one space in our house that belongs to me.

Eight years ago, as we packed up the 2,000-square-foot apartment in New York City we shared with our three children, Keith painted a halcyon picture of our new life in Nashville. There, we would have a proper house. The Georgian Revival, built in 1929, had a capacious floor plan that would allow for a guest room, a bedroom for each of the children, a family kitchen, a mudroom, and—most alluring—a private library at the far end of the house. I would work undisturbed, surrounded by my books and my collection of campaign posters, busts, and beloved political ephemera.

As soon as we moved into the new house, the meddling began. Wouldn’t the books be better organized if alphabetized by author? Couldn’t I sort through the boxes of letters and photographs and file them out of sight? Did I really want to hang that life-size poster of Gerald Ford in public view?

I lost the battle before it even began. Every time my wife hosted a party, I was sent to my study to tidy up piles and clear surfaces so that guests could rest their glasses and handbags on side tables without the bother of my clutter.

Sensing marital discord, our brilliant architect, Ridley Wills, together with our equally brilliant decorators, Brockschmidt & Coleman, suggested we consider renovating the old carriage house that was nestled in a grove of trees just below the main house and had not been touched since the 1930s, when the previous owners realized they could no longer afford a chauffeur.

It was the perfect solution.

After a small renovation that involved knocking out the ceiling to reveal existing vaulting and give the room height, and the addition of six banks of bookshelves organized into stacks, I finally had a room of my own (my apologies to Virginia Woolf).

Keith was invited in briefly, along with Bill Brockschmidt and Courtney Coleman, to choose paint colors and fabrics that would complement an inherited Oriental rug and to furnish the room with antiques and smaller pieces from Reed Smythe & Company (the online shop founded by Keith and the late Julia Reed, a close friend). Aside from that minimal invasion, I have been allowed to do with the room as I please. I’ve added to my collection six proper busts that watch over me from their perches atop the bookcases—Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Frederick Douglass. I am grateful to my friend the painter Michael Shane Neal for the copy of his brilliant portrait of Congressman John Lewis, the original of which was recently purchased by the National Portrait Gallery, and for his rendering of George H.W. Bush. My campaign posters from both sides of the political spectrum make for eclectic decor. What could be more fun for a political junkie than to hang JFK’s 1960 campaign poster next to the iconic David Hume Kennerly black-and-white photograph of Nixon with Roy Acuff and a yo-yo on the stage at the Grand Ole Opry?

Ever since I moved into what Keith and our children ironically refer to as my “global headquarters,” life inside our house has been far more harmonious. No one meddles with my papers. Or suggests a different manner of organizing. No one mentions the haze of cigar smoke that greets the few guests invited to sit on the small front porch of the library. It’s bliss. I can fully attest to the pleasure—and necessity—of having a room of one’s own.

Jon Meacham is the author of numerous books including, most recently, His Truth Is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope. A new documentary based on his 2018 bestseller, The Soul of America, premieres October 27 on HBO.

Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine: Basic Principles and Practice
Second Edition.
Edited by Christopher D. Hillyer, Leslie E. Silberstein, Paul M. Ness, Kenneth C. Anderson, and John D. Roback. 887 pp, ISBN-13: 978-0-443-06981-9, Philadelphia, Pa, Churchill Livingstone, Elsevier, 2007.

Substantial additions have been made in the second edition of this textbook. These are within cellular therapy, component preparation, infectious disease testing, and the basic biology of transfusion therapy. It is the editors’ goal that this textbook remains the definitive source of blood banking and transfusion medicine biology and practice for professionals within these fields.

I must admit that this second edition is an impressive textbook. In a comprehensive way it is parted into two well-balanced sections on blood banking and transfusion medicine preceded by a brief history of blood transfusion. The section on blood banking covers all relevant aspects such as immunohematology, donation, legal/regulatory (USA/Canada) issues, standard and specialized blood components including pathogen reduction and inactivation. The section on transfusion medicine is parted into chapters centered around relevant clinical settings, such as the transfusion demanding critical ill patients, patients with various kinds of coagulations defects, pediatric patients and many more. Taken together, all transfusion medical features of the transfusion demanding patients are well covered, including transfusion complications and therapeutic aphereses. Finally, a comprehensive mini section on tissue banking and cellular therapies, including stem cell transplantation, is given.

All the chapters are authored and the book edited by leading scientists who are also “operators” in the fields. Scientifically, the chapters are up to date. Obviously, a main focus has been to provide a text that is operational in relation to various practical situations and with appropriate depth of information. There is always a clear clinical orientation, directed to both the blood bank physician and the transfusing physician. The book absolutely combines scientific foundations with today’s most practical approaches. Also, advances in molecular genetics and complicated science are covered with an emphasis on clinical implications for diagnosis and treatment.

I especially appreciated the ease by which one can find operational answers to both simple and rather complicated clinical problems. During my reading of the book our hospital received a patient with a life threatening bleeding due to acquired FVIII deficiency. The textbook provided easy accessible and operational information on diagnosis and treatment due to its clinical emphasis. Also, the various kinds of anemias are addressed with a focus on diagnostic and therapeutic options. In general, one is pleased to find the text complete in its coverage of clinical therapeutics, also when looking for educational material. Anesthesiologists, internists, and surgeons will find the basic information on various products and guidelines for their administration valuable.

Today's transfusion medicine specialists coordinate many aspects of blood donation, component preparations, and transfusion practices, which encompass important issues within quality assurance, patient care, and cost-effectiveness. Along with the new therapies in the field of interventional hematology such as blood substitutes, hematopoietic growth factors, stem cell transplantation, and cellular therapies there is a growing clinical role for the blood bank physician. Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine is a comprehensive, up-to-date, well-written and well-edited textbook. It is very useful for the staff in blood banks, for transfusion medicine specialists and for residents in pathology, hematology and oncology.

How can your company increase its ROE?

Feb 9, 2009

This article will discuss the various factors that contribute to making a company capable of achieving a certain level of return on equity. But first, a primer on 'ROE' is in the offing - ROE, or Return On Equity, is the return that a company achieves on its book value. The book value of a company can also be termed as net worth or equity (you may view 'Are stocks at historically low book values?' for a better understanding of book value).

Return on equity can be calculated by dividing the annual profit after tax of a company by its book value during that period. It tells you the rate of return the company is earning on the total funds that shareholders of the company have put in. The average ROE that a business earns over many years can tell you a lot about the profitability of the business. The maintenance of a strong ROE during good times and bad indicates a superior business model employed by the company, and can be a fabulous thing for the investors of the company provided that an exceptionally high price is not paid for buying a piece of that company.

Since it is one of the major drivers for creating shareholder value, it helps to break up and analyse the different factors that can help a company increase its ROE. Analysing that would also help throw light on the various strategies employed by companies to increase their ROE, and the implications of those strategies for the shareholder. We shall use BHEL as an example to illustrate each of the points.

(1) Increasing sales turnover - Sales turnover is the ratio of sales to the total assets employed by the company. It indicates how efficiently the company is using its assets to generate sales. A company can try to perform better on this metric by decreasing the amount of assets it uses to achieve a certain level of sales. The major assets that can be attempted to be used more efficiently by a company are inventories, receivables and fixed assets.

For example BHEL's FY08 sales were about Rs 193 bn while its total assets at the end of FY08 were Rs 307 bn. BHEL's sales turnover comes out to about 0.6 which is slightly on the lower side when compared to some of the best in the engineering industry.

(2) Wider operating margins on sales - For every rupee of sales that a company makes, there are many operating expenses that have to be met before it can arrive at its operating profits. Some of them are employee costs, raw material costs, and other general & administrative expenses. In times of inflation, companies are always on the lookout to try and increase the prices of their products without hurting demand. But the fact of the matter is that inflation causes an increase in its operating costs too. In such a situation, the only way a company can increase its margins and keep them wide is to increase its prices (sales) at a faster rate than the increase in its operating costs. This can be achieved only by way of some competitive advantage the company might posses like being the lowest cost producer, or having a strong brand that lets it raise prices without taking away from the demand for its products. BHEL's margins for FY08 stood at 17.4% which is on the higher side of the industry average.

(3) More leverage - This is one thing a company might resort to if its ambitions to grow are higher than the pace of its internal accruals. Taking up more debt has the effect of enhancing the ROE of the company. But at the same time it exposes the company to certain external risks due to the fixed costs of the interest charged by the lender and the timely repayment obligations of the principal amount according to the preferences of the lender. Thus in general, a company earning a certain level ROE without any debt is much safer and superior than a company earning that same level of ROE by employing big amounts of debt. BHEL has negligible debt on its books.

(4) Cheaper leverage - In times of inflation, interest rates tend to go up. The cost of debt goes up along with that. The more expensive cost of borrowing, the lesser it contributes to improving a company's ROE. In fact, if it becomes inevitable for a company to borrow at high rates of return in bad times, and if the rate of interest is more than the returns the company can generate using those funds, it can actually take away from the final ROE of the company.

(5) Lower taxes - Taxes can take a significant bite out of a company's profits and thus ROE. Thus, some companies in certain industries that are subject to lower taxes due to favourable government policies/incentives have a huge advantage over the others. For example, IT companies have enjoyed lower tax rates (about 12%) for many years due to the government's attempts to encourage investments in the sector. That has helped many IT companies shore up their returns on equity. BHEL's FY08 tax rate stood at 35.5%, indicating that it does not enjoy any such tax breaks.

Interesting reading. I think what has been outlined in this article is called "DuPont Analysis" where ROE is expressed as a product of Net Profit Margin,Total asset turnover ratio and asset-equity ratio. It is a very useful tool in anlaysing a company,especially to find cost reduction areas,increase assset utilisation and also for inter-company comparison. Btw, is it a mere coincidence that Value Research also has a similar article posted on its website? regards

Kick-Off! at Ernestinum

Robots will soon roll onto the stage!

Anyone who thinks that the Christmas bazaar at Ernestinum Grammar School only offers homemade cakes and cookies is wrong. The technology itself will be self-made and used in the musical about robotics in the forthcoming two years: „1984 – Connecting Arts and Technology“ is the title of a theater performance that connects technology and art, Coburg and Valencia with each other.

„The Christmas bazaar is a great opportunity to start the project with a starting shot,“ says Tillmann Leibing, head of the robotics group at Ernes. In addition to cookies, waffles and hot chocolate, the participants listen to the project presentation, which officially opens the project as a kick-off.

Several Spanish teachers from our partner school speak up via video message. There is Sonia Casquete y Alemany, the headmistress of Les Carolines, but also Rafa Santibanez, the head of the musical group in Valencia or Araceli Sempere, who is in charge of the robotics class in Spain, and of course Sergi Valdés, who gives the whole project the right sound as a music teacher. The message from Valencia is clear: now things really get going: Constructing, rehearsing, writing and practicing are now taking place to ensure that our intercultural musical will be a great success on the stages of Valencia and Coburg.

This was by far the best shaper I tried out of many, at least for me. It really smooths out everything, but is not so tight/bindy that it leaves any creases or bulges anywhere. And it's SUPER comfortable. This shaper will NOT pull in your waist a dramatic amount, though. It just tightens things up and smooths them out. Which is exactly what i wanted for a pretty tight fitting/bodycon dress I have. Oh and my dress is still pretty snug throughout the thigh area, and I still didn't see any creases, even with the small. Great product.

maximum tummy control shapewear

I bought the black one first and liked maximum tummy control shapewear so much that I bought another. Don't expect a super tight slimming effect- in other words, body triangle breasted bodysuit will not get rid of rolls or move them elsewhere. Super comfortable and very pretty.strapless firm shapewear is a beautiful piece that fits great and looks even better. I wore this with a low back bridesmaid dress and it was the perfect solution. The cups fit well (I'm a healthy D) and kept the girls in the right place. It didn't ride up and the clasps at the bottom were easy to open.

Very comfortable and smooths things out under my dresses. I cannot believe how pretty this undergarment is at this cost. I would highly recommend this body triangle breasted bodysuit. if you are looking for light control maximum tummy control shapewear is for you.

I love maximum tummy control shapewear because they create a smooth line under clothing and are comfortable. I wish they also came in a "firm hold" version, because they don't have a great deal of "shaping" power, but body triangle breasted bodysuit remain my everyday under garment.

Got my size 36DD- thing fits perfectly, great cuz it goes by your bra size so maximum tummy control shapewear and up fitting better!lace bodysuit fits a bit tight, which isn’t so bad - except I’m scared to tear the thin lace when getting it on or off. It looks great though.

I was worried about the color because sometimes nude colors are a little too dark for my skin color. I had no idea what "Rosewood" was going to truly be, but based on other reviews I took a chance and I was glad I did.The fit is great, the material is soft, and the fabric smooths you out. Be warned though this is not a "super maximum tummy control shapewear". Like I said, body triangle breasted bodysuit is more of a smoother to let outfits hang nicely on you. Also, bridal bodysuit long sleeve does not have padded cups and if you have a thin outfit, you may need to add something to hide outlines in that area.Bottom line, 1. I'm short, 2. I have very fair pink hued skin, 3. Was looking for a "smoother" so my outfit would hang and flow nicely. and 4. I feel the price is reasonable.

This maximum tummy control shapewear has perfectly firm hold and great waist and hip compression. Doesn't give you back fat if you order the perfect size. Please do not try to order smaller size then you are because body triangle breasted bodysuit doesn't fit correctly. Looks beautiful and is very comfortable and natural.3X owner of this awesome best shapewear. Only problem is DO NOT PUT THEM IN ANY WASHING MACHINE!!! The rubber instantly errodes and you end up with faded ugly material. HAND WASH only, super delicate material indeed.

About Us

My passion was to find the ultimate range of spa treatments and skincare products that really worked, were good for me and also felt luxurious. Unable to find such a range, I made it my business to create one. ESPA luxury spas and treatments were founded on the notion of beautifully natural products that enhance natural beauty. Every product should be a pleasure to use. Every spa experience should be life enriching. Ingredients must work with the systems of the body, not against them. Quality and performance, texture and fragrance should never be anything but exceptional. That was my vision and 20 years on I’m still perpetuating it – for myself, our spas, worldwide business partners, exceptionally trained therapists and the award-winning treatments enjoyed by ESPA users around the world every year.

Susan Harmsworth MBE. Founder of ESPA.

Relax. Recharge. Replenish. ESPA created the blueprint for design, build and operation of spas and changed the nature of spa treatments. Our spa heritage revolves around the experience of improving well being and vitality in the most enjoyable and efficacious way. For clients enjoying ESPA treatments and products worldwide, it’s the fulfilment of our deep-rooted belief that to keep pace with progress, you need to slow down and let mind, body and soul regroup.

Rashid Khan: I never think about wicket tally, my focus is always on bowling economically

Rashid Khan appeals successfully BCCI

Since his IPL debut in 2017, Rashid Khan, along with David Warner, has been the most valuable player for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. With IPL 2020 being held in the UAE, where the pitches are expected to be spin-friendly, Khan will once again be central to the Sunrisers' bowling plans. Khan, who landed in Dubai straight from the CPL, interacted with the media on the eve of the side's first game of the season. Excerpts:

Tell us what you did during the Covid-19 forced lockdown.
Nobody was doing anything, I think (laughs). But at the same time, I focused a lot on my fitness with nothing else to do. I tried my best to not put on weight. That was something that was in my mind. In fact, I lost 3-4 kgs during that period because I knew if I put the weight on, it will be tough for me to get back to that level of fitness when we have a game. So I lost some weight in advance. But otherwise nothing special. Just being with the family, mostly trying to learn new dishes, or playing with the nephews in the backyard. That's how I was trying to keep myself entertained.

What do you think will be the biggest challenge for you this IPL?
How these two months will be in the bubble. How we adjust ourselves and how we keep ourselves fresh for the game. It's 14 games and at the same time, you have those restrictions as well. The guy who can enjoy the most and keep himself mentally fresh, I think he will be successful in this competition. That's going to be the toughest challenge for all the players.

ALSO READ: How did IPL-bound players fare in the CPL?

With the whole tournament being played at just three venues, do you think spinners will have a far bigger role as the tournament progresses?
That's what I believe as well. Spinners will be the key as the competition goes on because the wickets might get better for spinners. The other thing is the grounds here are big too, 75-77-80-metre boundaries. When you have long boundaries, that helps as a spinner. Sharjah is a small ground but the wicket is still very good for spinners. But at the same time, you need to bowl your best deliveries as well.

It's not like you can depend just on the wickets. As we saw in the first game, it wasn't as supportive wicket for spinners. It wasn't turning much as it is happening here in Dubai. But as a spinner, you have to come up and deliver your best irrespective of the wicket.

"To be honest, I never think about I have to take this many wickets. I am always focusing on bowling economically. When I am bowling economically, that helps other bowlers in the side to take wickets as well"

With the pitches expected to be conducive for spin bowling, what will there be a change in how you bowl?
I think my strategy won't change a lot. I just focus on bowling on a good line and length, that's what matters for me. Change of conditions from India to Dubai doesn't matter. I still need to bowl well, I still need to bowl where I am successful. That's how I bowl wherever I bowl and adjust myself with two or three deliveries to get an idea of the wicket and what the best line and length is on that particular wicket.

Of late, teams have started playing out your four overs, and as a result, your wicket-taking ability has suffered. Are you planning something to counter that cautious approach?
To be honest, I never think about I have to take this many wickets. I am always focusing on bowling economically. When I am bowling economically, that helps other bowlers in the side to take wickets as well. I have always focused on bowling a lot of dot balls and to put the batsman under pressure, so that he tries to take risks from the other end, or even against me. That's what I am mostly thinking about. What the team requirement is at that time, do I need to make the asking rate high, do I need to bowl dot balls. If I take five wickets and the team loses, it doesn't make sense. If I take one wicket but we win the match, that's what matters.

You like to develop different deliveries. Can we expect something new this IPL?
I have been working hard on a few deliveries but I haven't made them 100% perfect so far to bowl in a game. We hardly play the longer format, i.e. Test cricket. That's the only format where you can improve those deliveries. I can bowl them very well in the nets but to bowl them in a match, it requires different energy, a different mindset. I have made them perfect in the nets, but bringing them into the game is a bit tough for me at the moment. I tried them a few times in the CPL, but I think if I get to bowl them in the longer format, I can make them more perfect. But what I feel is I need to be smarter and more consistent compared to the last few years. That's something which I want to think about more than new deliveries.

The Sunrisers start their campaign against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday. Are you looking forward to bowling to someone like Virat Kohli?
Although I have just played in the CPL, the IPL is a different league, different pressure. And then you are playing against big names, like Virat, AB de Villiers. I have bowled to him in the World Cup and in the IPL previously. You have to bowl your best deliveries against him. No doubt he is one of the best players but there is no excuse for bowling a bad ball against him where he can smash you anywhere. I will just try my best to keep it simple and enjoy my game.

Do you feel any any pressure while bowling to Kohli?
Whenever you are bowling to anyone for the first time, you are always a bit under pressure. No doubt, he is a world-class player in every format, but I love it when somebody like him is batting against me. That's the competition you want it as a bowler. Rather than being under pressure, I think I enjoy myself bowling to him. It's a proud moment too bowling to him. As a bowler, I will try must best to enjoy and bowl the best deliveries to him and it doesn't matter what the result is as long as I am giving my 100%.

David Warner talked about dew yesterday. Having played here, do you think dew will be a big factor?
We [Afghanistan] have played here before, including the Asia Cup in 2018. So I am a bit used to the conditions but still, sometimes pitches behave differently. So we don't know what kind of wickets we will get. We have played here against Zimbabwe and Ireland too and have faced such conditions. As a spinner, I managed a bit to bowl with the dew. Even in India, in Mumbai, we get a lot of dew. And yeah, we have been practising with the wet ball and trying our best to get used to it.

During the first game on Saturday, we heard commentators talking about the wind factor too. How big a role wind could play here?
It's always playing a part here. There is dew and there is wind. So batting second is easier, and as a spinner, it's tough to bowl in those conditions when there is dew as well as wind. We played the Asia Cup here in the same month, in September, but that time we didn't see much dew. Even not much wind. It [the dew and wind] doesn't happen every day either. But you shouldn't be thinking about those things a lot, at the same time.

The Sunrisers have got the firepower at the top order but can the middle-order batsmen clear those big boundaries?
We have guys like Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar and other youngsters in the middle order; they all can hit the ball a long way. But sometimes on big grounds, you need to play sensible cricket. So it's not just about hitting big sixes as we saw the last night [in the Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians game] as well, how [Faf] du Plessis took it till the end and finished it well. I think the team that does these things well will be successful. That's what matters in the UAE. When you play sensible cricket in the middle overs, it helps you get positive results in the end as power-hitters can give you 50-60 runs in last five overs.

"When I was playing in the Big Bash, I was told clearly by the captain and the coaching staff that 'Rash, this is when you are gonna go in, after 14th-15th over, that's your time. It doesn't matter if we are down one wicket or two wickets"

Will players like you who are coming here after playing in the CPL have an advantage over others?
I think everyone has had enough practice. Players have been here for the last three weeks. Still it's totally different playing a game, but if you are a professional cricketer, those five-six months shouldn't affect you that much. That's how I felt too when I played in the CPL for the first time. I had good net sessions and as soon as I came back to the field, I didn't feel I was playing after five-six months. I have been playing consistently for the last four-five years and suddenly if there is a five-six months break that shouldn't affect me a lot. I think that would be the case for everyone else as well. You just need five-six-ten deliveries to be back.

In the CPL, you were batting at No. 9 or 10. Do you think you are underrated as a batsman in T20s? Are you expecting to bat a bit higher for the Sunrisers?
I always have this thing in mind that I am more effective when I bat in the last three-four overs where I can play my shots. But if you have a long batting line-up as we had in the CPL, you cannot complain. That's why I was batting so low.

When I was playing in the Big Bash, I was told clearly by the captain and the coaching staff that 'Rash, this is when you are gonna go in, after 14th-15th over, that's your time. It doesn't matter if we are down one wicket or two wickets.' When you get the positive-ness from the coach and captain, you just focus on what you are going to do. But I shouldn't be thinking about when I am coming in to bat. What I think about is what I can do in that time, whether it's three overs, one over or one delivery.

At the CPL, there were no crowds. How was it like to play in front of the empty stands?
It was a bit tough initially. Without any crowd, I was reminded of my club cricket. But then I watched the first game of the IPL yesterday and there was some noise arranged, which helps you that there is something going on. No doubt having the crowd gives you that extra energy, but we know the fans are still watching us on the TV and we need to give our 100% and keep enjoying ourselves on the field.

Michael Cohen Went Viral in 2016. That Moment Offers a Dire Warning for Republicans.

He seemed absurd during his infamous "says who" moment. Now he seems prescient.

News, Spokesperson, Newscaster, Media, Television presenter, Speech, Newsreader, Photo caption, Official, Businessperson,

Michael Cohen, who carries the permanent expression of someone who's woken up in a strange bathtub with a kidney missing, ended his public testimony on Wednesday utterly defeated and exhausted:

"My loyalty to Mr. Trump has cost me everything," Trump’s former personal attorney said, welling up, "my family’s happiness, friendships, my law license, my company, my livelihood, my honor, my reputation and, soon, my freedom."

This Michael Cohen—slumped in a chair, his red-rimmed eyes sunk even deeper into his long face than usual, his voice meek and repentant—is a lifetime away from the Michael Cohen that went viral in August 2016, when he “says who’d” his way through an interview with Briana Keilar on CNN's The Situation Room. That Michael Cohen was AWOL from Capitol Hill this week, but to truly understand his testimony, and how it may help predict the future of the Republican Party in its current form, we need to go back in time and find him.

This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Revisiting Cohen's "says who" video in 2019 is a revelation: Contained within the three minutes and forty one seconds is a microcosm of the entire 2016 election (the prominent box counting down the seconds to the Green Party Town Hall is a real kick in the hindsight, just to start out) and a tour de force of the real Michael Cohen.

Cohen landed on The Situation Room because there was drama in the Trump campaign (or, more accurately, more than usual). Just two and a half months before Election Day, the Trump team announced that Steve Bannon and KellyAnne Conway would be joining the campaign as chief executive and campaign manager. Paul Manafort, who had successfully steered the campaign through the primaries, would remain as campaign chairman.

Was Manafort on his way out? Was the campaign—which was slumping in the polls—in disarray? Those were the questions that CNN's Keilar wanted to know. She didn't get very far in asking them, because Cohen just starts talking right over her.

Paul Manafort Moved To Alexandria Detention Center

"I gotta stop you for one second. Because there's no shakeup. Look at the words that you use and you blast at the bottom in your banner: ‘shakeup,’ ‘overhaul,’ ‘dramatic,’ ‘desperate measures.’ There are no desperate measures. You just literally read the memo that you received that Paul Manafort sent out that stating he's not going anywhere and the campaign is on its way to victory."

Of course, Paul Manafort was going somewhere. Two days later he'd resign from the campaign, unable to escape the New York Times story that had dropped a few days prior that he'd received $12.7 million in cash payments from the Ukraine's pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012.

Since then, Paul Manafort has emerged as a central figure in the Mueller investigation precisely because of his Russian-connected work in the Ukraine (for which it's now thought that he made $60 million). But back in the simpler days of 2016 he was "part of the existing group of winners that Mr. Trump has hired for the campaign," according to Cohen.

Now Manafort is going to jail, probably for the rest of his life.

Back in August 2016 that statement seemed more absurd than prescient. He turned out to be exactly right.

Back in 2016, Cohen goes on to yell in his distinctive monotone New York drawl for a full minute and twenty seconds before Keilar is able to interrupt a diatribe about the "hundreds and hundreds" of people working at the Clinton campaign and regain her show.

She raises a hand and says, "You say it's not a shakeup, but you guys are down."

Cohen immediately responds with: "Says who?"

Keilar looks confused for a moment and Cohen says again, "Says who?"

"Polls," she responds. "Most of them…All of them?"

Five full seconds of silence follows which Cohen breaks, once again, with a deadpan "says who."

It's become a punchline since then—my own podcast is named after this moment—but it captures exactly the Michael Cohen that was absent from Capitol Hill this week: the man that would say and do anything to defend the honor of Mistuh Trumb. Watching Cohen's sad sandwich performance on Wednesday you'd forget that Says Who Cohen ever existed.

This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Trying to deny that that Michael Cohen existed was high on the agenda for Republicans on Wednesday. Instead they tried to portray him as a liar and a cheat just in it for himself, running taxicab scams, lying on bank loans, and trying to score the biggest score of all: a book deal. But it wasn't just that Michael Cohen was out for himself—the real Michel Cohen, Says Who Michael Cohen, was lying and cheating for Donald J Trump.

Lying for Trump was why Cohen was on Capitol Hill this week and why he's going to jail in May. And that's why the Republicans lines of attacks fell short on Wednesday: not wanting to lay a finger on Trump, they had to keep away from half of the shit that makes Michael Cohen Michael Cohen.

Back on CNN in 2016, Cohen, full of the self-assurance of someone who believes his own lies claims, "In all fairness he's going to end up winning this election come November." Back in August 2016 that statement seemed more absurd than prescient. He turned out to be exactly right.

Now, in 2019, Cohen has a different message: "I did the same thing that you’re doing now for 10 years," Cohen told the committee, all the bluster of Says Who Cohen gone from his voice. "I protected Mr. Trump for 10 years. The more people that follow Mr. Trump, as I did blindly, are going to follow the same consequences that I’m suffering."

Let's hope he's right this time, too.

Republican Senators Are Going Full Gaslight on Impeachment, Which Is Kind of a Concern

Senator Mike Braun of Indiana seems to sense some opportunity in going on TV to deny observable reality.

The dynamic of Donald Trump, American president's impeachment trial in the United States Senate is pretty much set. The House managers present evidence that the president extorted a foreign government until they attacked American democracy for his personal benefit. The president's defense team makes loud noises about how there was NO PRESSURE! and they don't like Adam Schiff. And Senate Republicans pretend they can't see anything amiss, and keep voting along strict party lines to reject new evidence and witnesses. Why would you need any of that for a trial?

As predictable as all of this is with Mitch McConnell behind the wheel, it does seem like a harbinger of things to come. Every Republican officeholder's complete and total fealty to Donald Trump is a sight to behold. Cowardice and a supreme lack of ethics certainly play a role, but maybe some of them also see themselves as potential vassals of The Leader if he's re-elected and hardens his authoritarian grip. This has led to otherwise bland-seeming senatorial types jumping on the cable news teevee to flex their Trumpian credentials. As demonstrated by Senator Mike Braun in a display he thought was so dope he tweeted it himself, this mostly involves a thuggish rejection of objective reality.

This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

There is simply no way that the senator from Indiana honestly believes the president has never "asked a foreign leader to investigate a political rival." Here he is doing it on television:

This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Wow, the tomato man asked two different countries to investigate a domestic political opponent there!

Maybe Braun's beef is with the "withhold foreign aid to coerce him into doing so." Except Trump's chief-of-staff, Mick Mulvaney, already admitted in public that they withheld the aid as part of a quid pro quo. One of Trump's new arguments is that other administrations have withheld aid in the past, hoping that the public can't make a distinction between withholding aid based on issues of the national interest and withholding aid until they ratfuck your domestic political opponent. But the implicit admission there is that Trump ordered the hold, which we already knew, and which the Government Accountability Office found to be a crime. Meanwhile, Ambassador Bill Taylor testified under oath that the military aid was linked to the Ukrainians announcing a Biden investigation, and contemporaneous texts back this.

Senate Impeachment Trial Of President Trump Continues
You’d expect this from, say, Lindsey Graham.

Trump's lawyers are also tacitly admitting this with one dimension of their arguments: that abuse of power does not constitute an impeachable offense. That is different than saying he didn't do what he's accused of—it's an argument around the severity of the offense. Yet Braun seems to be on a different page of the book, maybe one marked "October 2019." Or maybe the Trumpists simply flit between all the pages, sometimes all at once, trying to bury the public in bullshit so no one can see the plain truth of what happened. It is in no doubt, which is why the president and his allies refuse to allow direct witnesses to the scheme to testify. If it was all on the up-and-up, surely these public servants can honor their obligations to abide by congressional oversight powers, take the oath, and explain why it was all on the up-and-up.

They won't, of course, in part because Senator Mike Braun has repeatedly voted against it. He doesn't want to know—or, more precisely, he doesn't want you to know. He's hoping you tune out, and they skip through the sham trial, and the economy stays strong enough that Trump can eke out a victory in November against an opponent who will without doubt be ratfucked by actors foreign and domestic.
