🤯✨ For the FIRST time in history, Sabah FC qualified for the UEFA Champions League. 🇦🇿
Sabah's manager Valdas Dambrauskas participated in the 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' TV show back in 2000. The money he won from the contest was used to attend football coaching courses in England.
In 2007, he joined 9th tier English team Kingsbury London Tigers and led the club to some of the best results in their history. It was his first ever managerial job. Following that, he coached several teams, mainly in the Baltic region.
Now, Valdas Dambrauskas has taken Sabah to the UEFA Champions League league phase for the first time in its history. He will face some of Europe's elite sides. Crazy. 🇱🇹👏
I've been fascinated by this building since reading about it ten years ago and finally got to see it in person today.
It's called Tietgenkollegiet, one of Copenhagen's most interesting buildings. And it's a student dorm.
It's basically an experiment in whether architecture can make strangers become friends.
~390 students live here. Private bedrooms face outward, while the shared spaces, kitchens, lounges, etc. face inward toward a huge central courtyard.
So you can literally see other people cooking, hanging out, and gathering across the courtyard.
Instead of telling people to “build community,” the architecture makes it happen naturally.
I would've LOVED to live here as a student.
The Weather Replay app allows you to see what the weather was like anywhere in the world since the 1940s. I was born in southern Germany in May 1983 when the sky was clear and night temperature hovered around 5 degree. Surprisingly addictive tool. Great for historians and biographers too!

Some flags are simple, easy-to-understand affairs. Others are more complex, with several layers of meaning.
And then there’s Mongolia.
I had often looked at it and thought, 'I wonder what all that stuff means'. So I looked it up, and it's tremendous.

Octobre 1971, le Philharmonique de Berlin entre en état de grâce sous la tempête à peine contrôlée de Karajan. Les notes partent alors dans une cadence obstinée qui vient s'imprimer directement sur le muscle cardiaque.
À écouter le volume à fond pour rêver d’horizons à conquérir.
