Description:
Diego Simeone isn't the most difficult football manager to wind up but Arne Slot's reaction spoke volumes.<br/><br/>The Atletico Madrid boss got physical with his Dutch counterpart after Feyenoord beat them in a 2021 friendly, shoving Slot in the chest and launching a verbal volley.<br/><br/>Slot's Stone Island gear suggested he might have been up for a scrap but instead, he just stood his ground and smiled mockingly at Simeone, who backed down.<br/><br/>It was the sign of a man who doesn't shy away from a challenge.<br/><br/>Feyenoord's coach is ruthlessly ambitious and a control freak who demands total control at the club. But he also has emotional intelligence, knows how to create a team ethic, and plays attractive football.<br/><br/>So there are reasons both for and against his suitability for the unenviable task of succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.<br/><br/>Slot, 45, who has just backed up last season's Eredivisie title win by delivering the KNVB Cup to Rotterdam, has emerged as a strong contender for the Anfield gig.<br/><br/>Indeed, on Wednesday morning it emerged talks have already begun between Liverpool and Feyenoord with the compensation fee set at £8.5million. <br/><br/>On the face of it, Slot's 4-3-3 formation, intensity of pressing, and high-energy attack bear many resemblances to Klopp's 'heavy metal' (Slot is more into his rap music).<br/><br/>But the Liverpool vacancy requires so much more than just a good tactician.<br/><br/>For nine years, Klopp has carried not only a club but at times a city defiant in its own identity and independence.<br/><br/>That emotional burden has ultimately caught up with him but not before he won the biggest honours in the game.<br/><br/>Liverpool's new manager must not only perform in Klopp's lingering shadow but somehow keep up his boundless energy and forge the same bonds with a demanding fanbase and players that aren't his own.<br/><br/>The experiences of David Moyes and Unai Emery, after Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, have shown just how difficult it is to follow a manager of legendary stature.<br/><br/>Some would say the man who follows Klopp is in a similar hiding to nothing even if Liverpool fans would surely be sympathetic and patient if there was regression next season.<br/><br/>Like Klopp, Slot had a respectable but hardly spectacular playing career at the likes of FC Zwolle and NAC Breda rather than Ajax or Feyenoord.<br/><br/>But when it comes to coaching, Slot sees no reason to curb his ambitions, even if it has rubbed people up the wrong way.<br/><br/>AZ Alkmaar abruptly sacked him in December 2020 because owner Robert Eenhoorn learned he'd attended a clandestine meeting with Feyenoord and agreed to replace Dick Advocaat.<br/><br/>Even as he wins trophies at Feyenoord, Slot has been unafraid to speak about his career trajectory.<br/><br/>'My next step will not be a club in Holland,' he said in 2023. 'If that is my next step, then I've failed.<br/><br/>'The normal next step will be to go abroad and I've always said the best league in the world is the Premier League.'

_are-allergies-interfering-with-your-social-life.webp "Nearly a quarter of Americans (22%) have missed out on at least five outdoor events they wanted to attend over the past year because of allergies (65%), according to new research.<br/><br/>In a survey of 2,000 adults, half of whom have perennial/seasonal allergies, found that respondents said having allergies or knowing someone who does has prevented them from being outdoors at some point within the past year (49%).<br/><br/>Though spending time outside is important to nearly all of those surveyed (92%), 56% say that having allergies or knowing someone who has them has dampened how much they’re able to enjoy outdoor events.<br/><br/>Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of ZYRTEC, the survey looked at how allergies impact both allergy sufferers and non-sufferers, causing them to miss out on the things they love.<br/><br/>The survey also revealed that allergy sufferers are feeling the strain of missed connections. Many are expressing “annoyance” (65%) and “frustration” (47%) when their symptoms get in the way of spending time with loved ones.<br/><br/>And 68% of respondents recall a time in the past year when they or someone they spent time with was distracted by their allergies.<br/><br/>One in five (22%) feel like they “always” or “often” have to make sacrifices when it comes to spending time outdoors.<br/><br/>Pet owners who have allergies said that these downsides carry over to time spent with their furry friend, from limiting the time they can play outside (38%) to going on walks (37%), or even being around their pet (24%).<br/><br/>One-third (39%) of non-pet-owning allergy sufferers said if they didn’t have allergies, they would own a pet.<br/><br/>“We’re seeing allergy season starting earlier and lasting longer, which means common allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes can make a real impact,” said Dr. Tania Elliott, allergist and ZYRTEC partner. “If left untreated, allergies can be a real burden not just on your plans, but they can lead to poor sleep and reduce overall productivity.”<br/><br/>In fact, allergy sufferers also state that their symptoms affect their ability to think clearly (61%) and perform at their best (75%).<br/><br/>Nearly a third even feel self-conscious (29%) about their allergy symptoms, while over half (67%) worry about being less enjoyable for others to be around when their allergies flare up.<br/><br/>To do their part, non-sufferers navigate hurdles to help their loved ones feel comfortable, like keeping allergy medication with them (43%) or deep cleaning their home and keeping it free of allergens (34%).<br/><br/>When planning for outdoor meetups with friends and family who are affected, non-allergy sufferers check the pollen and air quality (27%) or choose indoor areas entirely (20%).<br/><br/>“There are steps you can take to ensure you don’t miss out and can enjoy outdoor moments this allergy season,” said Dr. Elliott. “Wear hats and sunglasses to keep allergens out of your hair and eyes and be sure to leave your shoes at the front door to avoid tracking allergens into the house. You can also take an oral antihistamine which can start working quickly to provide long-lasting relief from allergies.”<br/><br/>What would a life unburdened by allergies look like? If they weren’t affected as much by the outdoors, allergy sufferers would most want to go on more picnics (40%), park days (39%), hikes (32%), nature tours (30%) and visit fairs (26%).<br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 1,000 people with seasonal perennial allergies + 1,000 people without seasonal perennial allergies was commissioned by Kenvue, the makers of Zyrtec between March 4 and March 11, 2024. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).")

_consider-this-sharenting-part-2-sharing-children39s-lives-online-pros-amp-cons.webp "Introduced in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2022 and now used widely, the term ‘Sharenting’, a portmanteau of ‘parenting’ and ‘sharing’, refers to the practice where caregivers share content of children under their care on social media. However, despite the likely positive intentions of the adults, the practice carries with it risks and concerns about children's privacy, informed consent, and the potential long-term consequences of having their lives publicly documented online from a young age. Do the risks outweigh the benefits of sharing? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to <br/>Lai Cheng Wong, co-founder of Media and Information Literacy for ASEAN Network.<br/>")
