Darrel71O724778:

The winner-takes-all showdown between Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal and world champion France on Saturday was decided by one of the least likely scorers on the quality-packed pitch at Lisbon's Stadium of Light. Midfielder N'Golo Kante, whose prowess is tackling, not scoring, notched the only goal of a 1-0 win that ended Portugal's bid to defend its Nations League title and sent the French into the final four. Joining the fray in a crowded area in search of a loose ball or rebound, Kante was rewarded when goalkeeper Rui Patricio fumbled a ball into his path for him to finish off in the 53rd minute. It was Kante's second international goal in his 44th appearance for France. His other strike came in 2016 in a friendly against Russia. N'Golo Kante scored the only goal as France beat Portugal 1-0 in Lisbon on Saturday night The Chelsea midfielder tapped-in from close-range after 53 minutes to take a deserved lead Portugal couldn't break down the French defence and fell out of Nations League contention France clinched a first-place finish in Group 3 with three more points than Portugal and the tiebreaker on head-to-head goals with one game to play. Portugal won last year's inaugural Nations League. France outplayed European champion Portugal and was denied a lead by half-time thanks only to Patricio. 'Given the quality of the opposition, it's of course one of our best performances of recent times,' France coach Didier Deschamps said. 'We deserved the win and we've fulfilled our objective of finishing top. I'm very proud of the players. They proved tonight that France are still a great team.'

Patricio closed quickly to smother Martial's attempt to tap in a great throughball by Antoine Griezmann in the 12th. Martial's header from a well-executed set-piece hit the crossbar on the half-hour mark, and Patricio stood firm to block another tap-in by Martial of Lucas Hernandez's low cross in the 41st. Patricio kept his side in the match until shortly after the restart when he failed to keep his grip on a shot by Adrien Rabiot. Instead, he spilled the ball into the path of Kante to finish off.

T-Mobile s 5G Network Upgrade Means Better Indoor And Rural Coverage

On Tuesday, the self-proclaimed "un-carrier" announced that it has turned on a new version of its 5G network that should allow for better coverage and lower latency. Known as Standalone 5G (or SA 5G), this version of 5G does not need to be anchored to any existing 4G LTE service, [http://bordersalertandready.com/?s=enabling%20T-Mobile&search=Search enabling T-Mobile] to offer better coverage and performance compared to its current 5G offering. For more like this Subscribe to the CNET Now newsletter for our editors' picks of the most important stories of the day. Karri Kuoppamaki, T-Mobile's vice president of technology development and strategy, says the move will "allow 5G to reach its full potential" and not be limited by the shortcomings of the older, 4G LTE foundation that its initial 5G network relies on. Those in rural areas or who have trouble keeping a signal deep in buildings, in particular, should see better coverage as part of the move. Latency, or the responsiveness of the network, should also improve which will make data seem faster when connected to this 5G service. Kuoppamaki says that in its testing T-Mobile has seen latency improvements of up to 40%. The coverage boost -- particularly indoors -- is a potential boon at a time when people are generally confined indoors in an attempt to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

The standalone 5G will kick in when the traditional network (known as non-standalone or NSA) isn't available. Given that this new deployment is still in its early stages, the existing NSA network and its [https://knoji.com/search/?query=midband%20LTE midband LTE] foundation is still more capable than the new standalone 600 Mhz low-band option. Because it can use more than one form of wireless spectrum, the existing NSA network will allow for faster speeds and better service compared just the single low-band that the standalone 5G network is currently using. T-Mobile plans to make its other spectrum, including the newly acquired midband 2.5 GHz airwaves it got through its merger with Sprint, available to the standalone 5G network over time. "This is all about having 5G available everywhere," Kuoppamaki says, "and us delivering on the promise of 5G for all." He adds that the SA 5G launch is nationwide, expanding T-Mobile's 5G footprint by 30% and allowing it to now cover 1.3 million square miles. To mark its 5G standalone network, T-Mobile flew hundreds of drones over Lisbon, North Dakota.

"Prevention is essential and begins with each one of us," Rebelo de Sousa told reporters after meeting health experts, adding it was now important to adjust measures to address the level of risk in each of the country's municipalities. A tiered system of coronavirus restrictions is on the table but the government said earlier on Thursday it would only announce new measures on Saturday.

You come across several examples of funky arts, architecture and traditions on many occasions, however, very few of them last long in your memory. Lisbon, the capital of Portugal is purely an exception to this fact. You will remember this place forever even if you visit it only once. Pestana Palace: One of the grandest hotels to open in Portugal in years, this hotel lies in an upscale residential section 5km (3 miles) from the historic center. It was carved out of a villa built in 1907. It's a stunning example of the Romantic Revival architectural style. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon: Built in the 1950s and host to a roster that reads like a who's who of international glamour, the Ritz is one of Portugal's legendary hotels. Everywhere in the hotel, you'll get the impression that a swanky reception is about to begin. York House Hotel: A former 17th-century convent and private home, York House is the place to stay in Lisbon. It abounds with climbing vines, antiques, four-poster beds, and Oriental carpeting fittings and furnishings that maintain the building's historical character without flattening your wallet. Albatroz: In a garden overlooking the Atlantic, this inn was originally built as the summer residence of the dukes of Loule. Since its transformation into a stylish hotel, its aristocratic elegance has drawn guests from throughout Europe. Service is impeccable. Palacio Estoril: The Palacio enjoyed its heyday during the 1950s and 1960s, when every deposed monarch of Europe seemed to disappear into the Art Deco hotel's sumptuous suites. The result: the curious survival in Estoril of the royal ambience of a Europe gone by. Today "the Palace" maintains a staff whose old-timers are among the best in Europe at offering royal treatment to guests. Tivoli Palacio de Seteais: One of the most elegant hotels in Portugal bears one of the country's most ironic names. In 1807, a treaty ending the Napoleonic campaign in Portugal was signed here, with terms so humiliating to the Portuguese that they labeled the building the Palace of the Seven Sighs. Any sighing you're likely to do today will be from pleasure -- at the setting, the lavish gardens, and the reminders of an old-world way of life.

It offers a chance to escape from the curse of the high-rise sea resort hotels and into an inn of style that captures some of the spirit of the region itself. Bussaco Palace Hotel: This palace, built between 1888 and 1907 as a sylvan refuge for the royal family, saw tragedy early.

Its elegant detailing makes it appear much older than it is. It's the most nostalgic, elegant, and ornate hotel in Porto.

Reid's Palace: For more than a century (it was founded in 1891 and enlarged in 1968), Reid's has fulfilled the colonial fantasies of every British imperialist abroad.

Portugal: Young Climate Activists Get Strasbourg Court Boost

LISBON, Portugal (AP) - The European Court of Human Rights is requiring a prompt response from 33 countries to an ambitious climate change case brought by six young Portuguese, a move that activists said gave heart to their cause. The court on Monday ordered the European countries to respond to the complaint and granted it priority status because of the "importance and urgency of the issues raised." The two young Portuguese adults and four children filed their claim last September at the Strasbourg, France-based court. They want the court to hold the countries accountable for [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] their allegedly inadequate efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The group is supported by the Global Legal Action Network, a international nonprofit organization that challenges human rights violations, and a team of five London lawyers. The countries named in the complaint include the 27 member nations of the European Union plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine. The court´s decision to demand a swift response from the defendant countries is "highly significant," said Global Legal Action Network director Gearóid Ó Cuinn, because "only a tiny minority of cases" merit such treatment. The court will attempt to broker an amicable agreement in the case before it proceeds to litigation.

How CNET Got Banned By Google

Former CNET reporter Elinor Mills Elinor Mills Starting in the mid- to late '90s tech news went from being relegated to the back page of the business section to spawning its own glamorous industry. I left IDG to work for the fastest-growing magazine ever in the US, The Industry Standard, which was a victim of the very dot-com hubris it was covering. It folded in 2001 after the collapse of the first internet bubble, and I jumped to the safety of a traditional media company, Reuters. I survived layoffs there by taking a stint as a foreign correspondent in Lisbon, Portugal. When it was time to come back to San Francisco, I landed at CNET, the company that had weathered the storm and become a tech media powerhouse.

[ ] Brett Pearce/CNET Here's how the story came together, and how it played out from my perspective. After I pitched the story to my editor, Jim Kerstetter, I spent a month researching and reporting the ins and outs of Google's products and policies, trying to understand what data the company collected and how that info was used. One criticism that'd been leveled at the company was its cavalier attitude toward complaints from people haunted by compromising personal details exposed by its massive search engine. Such data included infractions committed by minors, or cases where defendants were later exonerated. [/tags/eric-schmidt/ Eric Schmidt]'s response -- he was Google's CEO at the time -- was that Google was merely a conduit, and that websites listing the information were responsible for deletion requests. As I was starting to write the article, News Editor Scott Ard stopped by my desk. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he suggested that I google Schmidt to see what types of information I could find. So I did. My story opened with a rundown of things that a short Google search had revealed about Schmidt, such as his net worth, his home town, his fundraiser for Al Gore that Elton John performed at, and his trip to Burning Man. The day after the article was published, Ard got a call from a top corporate communications spokesman at Google complaining that the article was unfair and [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] violated Schmidt's privacy.

My reporting was definitely hindered; every Google story I wrote thereafter had this line: "Google did not return calls and emails seeking comment for this story." After about three weeks of being ghosted, we decided it was time to let readers know why Google wasn't commenting. We added a disclaimer that said Google had a one-year ban on talking to CNET because of privacy concerns with the earlier article. It didn't take long for reporters at [ other publications] to get wind of the blacklist and start [ covering it]. Two months into the ban, Google did an about-face. I never learned why. A spokesman called me to offer an interview with Schmidt, about an announcement Google was making on how its search index was three times larger than Yahoo's. I was forbidden to discuss anything but the news. I agreed, and within days the Google spokesman called me and put Schmidt on the phone for the interview. It was awkward and surreal to be talking with the tech mogul who despised me, acting as if nothing had happened. My article, "[ ]," ran on Sept. 28, 2005. The relationship with Schmidt [ ] for years.

Liz McNeill Widow Of Celtic Star Billy reflects On His Dementia Fight

As a captain and manager of [/sport/teampages/celtic.html Celtic], Billy McNeill mastered the art of conjuring up the right words for the right moment. Approaching his 70th birthday, subtle changes crept in. Finding a name for everyday household items became as challenging as the build-up to a cup final at Hampden. For the first British footballer to raise the European Cup aloft, there was an obvious concern.

Training sessions were spent thudding leather spheres into the Glasgow sky. Saturdays were spent heading soaking wet footballs away from bruising [http://www.covnews.com/archives/search/?searchthis=centre%20forwards centre forwards] in a crowded penalty area. 'I'm not sure if we ever talked about the links between heading the ball and Alzheimer's,' his widow Liz tells Sportsmail. I know that when Billy was alive there was research at Stirling University into the impact heading a ball has on movement of the brain. 'I watched the television programme where the people tested headed the ball 20 times to see the results of that. 'Some older people simply contract dementia because of their age. But then you look down south at footballers like Jeff Astle, who was quite young when he died. 'I also saw the news on Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles and the England players who won the World Cup in 1966. All the training they did with a ball must have had an effect. 'It's like boxing, I think. If boxers are punched on the head all the time their brains move backwards and forwards all the time.' In Glasgow, a football manager quickly learns that his survival depends on the political skills of Obama and the diplomatic nous of Kissinger.

Scotland's Bobby Moore, his every public utterance was measured and carefully chosen to represent Celtic the 'right' way. That's why the early warning signs could not be dismissed forever. To family and friends, he was no longer the man they knew. 'Sometimes when you get to a certain age you do get caught up,' Liz continued. McNeill is seen with the Champions League trophy during a draw for the tournament in 2013 'I asked Mike Jackson (McNeill's long-time friend): "Have you noticed anything with Billy saying the wrong words"? 'He said he had noticed the odd thing and we took it from there. 'One day we were sitting before he was diagnosed and Billy said to me: "I think there's something wrong with me. I can't remember things". 'As you do, I said: "Ach, don't be stupid, I can't remember things either". We passed it off like that. But as time went on we realised something wasn't quite right. We all did.' The tests revealing Alzheimer's disease and dementia came after his 70th birthday. Research by the University of Glasgow's Dr Willie Stewart indicates that the eighth decade is the point at which a career in football makes professionals three and a half times more likely to die of a neurodegenerative illness than those from other walks of life. McNeill finally succumbed in April 2019 at the age of 79. 'Billy lasted nine years and, in the last two years of his life, he couldn't communicate,' adds Liz. 'He lost the power of his speech. A lot of people don't last as long as that But when that happens you kind of lose the person that you knew. 'We tried our best. I would get a taxi and take him up to The Avenue shopping centre and you could see his eyes light up when he got out and about and saw people. 'He couldn't walk so well towards the end but people would come and shake his hand and have a wee word with him. You take comfort from the fact he was so well-liked and admired and you feel proud. But it's a horrible disease which takes over your life.' Jimmy Johnstone, Celtic's greatest ever player, passed away from Motor neurone disease in 2006. Another of the Lisbon Lions - matchwinner Stevie Chalmers - died after his own struggle with dementia a week after McNeill at the age of 83. As one of Celtic's famous Lisbon Lions he lifted the trophy after beating Inter Milan in 1967 In October 1966, an article in the Football League Review magazine quoted a club medic claiming that 'the continual jarring of the brain tissue could and does affect players,' telling of crippling headaches suffered by Everton legend Dixie Dean. Still, it took decades for the Professional Footballers' Association - the union paid to look out for the well-being of members - to fund proper research. 'You wonder sometimes if the football authorities are taking much notice or doing much about it,' ponders Liz. 'Jeff Astle's family are continually fighting to have this recognised as an industrial injury for footballers. If they get that passed, then think of all the people who need it who are going to say they need help. 'Billy was one of the more fortunate ones because he had a good career. But I feel sad for so many other families of footballers who don't get to use their name to push the case for more awareness and help.' Sportsmail's dementia campaign has already received the backing of Amanda Kopel, widow of former Dundee United and Manchester United defender Frank. 'Amanda called me and was very nice,' adds Liz. 'The thing with this issue is that it raises its head from time to time and then it fades away. Then someone else suffers or dies and it raises its head again. This Daily Mail campaign is an important reminder that, for families affected, the pain of dementia never goes away.' A dancer with the BBC's White Heather Club, the teenage Elizabeth Callaghan was earning twice as much as one of Celtic's young prospects when the pair met in 1961. They married two years later. 'I was 17 and Billy was 21 when we got together. That's a long time. 'He wasn't a famous footballer to us. He was a dad and a grandad. A statue was made in his honour outside Celtic Park, pictured above its unveiling in 2015 'The kids loved their dad and the grandchildren loved their grandad and his stories. We have eight grandchildren and they all loved him and it's nice to hear their stories. 'When we lost him it left a big void in the household.' The Billy McNeill Fund was started by Liz and son Martyn to raise funds and awareness for sufferers of dementia. Covid-19 has pushed a charity golf day and Evening Ball hosted by charity Battle Against Dementia back to 2022 But a golf day in August raised £20,000 and, after losing his father to vascular dementia, charity founder Dougie McCluskey reveals: 'We have a plan in place to build a dementia hub. 'The ground has been donated by Balmore Golf Club and that's in our future plans. Covid has knocked that back slightly, but it's still in our plans for everybody who has suffered through dementia. 'The hub would give victims' families a bit of respite, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] create a memory area, maybe a film area. 'Our annual golf day with people like Frank McAvennie, John Hartson and Ian Durrant is planned for May 29. 'The Billy McNeill Golf Day in 2022 is the biggest event we will pull off and we're hopeful that a lot of people will get behind something like that.' For visitors to Celtic Park, a bronze statue of McNeill holding aloft the European Cup is still the first thing they set eyes on. And an appeal to raise £70,000 will now see a second statue erected in the legendary defender's native Bellshill sometime next year. 'They hope to get it done next April or May and it will be different to the statue at Celtic Park,' explains Liz. 'It's a source of pride to know that Billy is still held in such public affection and esteem.'
