"I select boys whom I think are good enough to contribute. Young Utrecht coach Mark Otten granted the Dutchman with Ghanaian roots his debut and said to the cameras of ESPN: 'I select boys whom I think are good enough to contribute. I don’t look at age. He plays very maturely, not like a 15-year-old. He is very stable in his choices. Good enough is old enough, they say. That applies to Donovan as well.'" #JongUtrecht #DonovanAfrifa #Voetbalgeschiedenis (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis mentioned that he traveled to Karpathos for the inauguration of a new CT scanner at the island's hospital, which he installed along with Giorgos Hatzimarkos. He added that the establishment of an artificial kidney unit was also progressing. Subsequently, according to his post, he welcomed the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas and participated in the events commemorating the anniversary of the Karpathos Revolution on October 5, 1944, which, he noted, led to the liberation of the island. Georgiadis said that he returned to Athens for the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of New Democracy, although he had other ministerial obligations. He criticized colleagues who, as he wrote, chose to be absent from the event due to other commitments. He also mentioned that he would travel from Rhodes to Kalymnos, where the surgical team of Mr. Sokorelos's Orthopedic Clinic would be transferred, so that patients who needed orthopedic surgeries could be operated on the island instead of being transported to Rhodes. He presented the initiative as part of a new philosophy of the National Health System, which would provide services to patients wherever they were. #Καραπάθος #Υγεία #ΕΣΥ (translated)

FRANK wrote that he commented on the election night with his friend JC Ouellet and Donald Charette, whom he described as a wise veteran. He said it was too early to draw a definitive conclusion but believed that Éric Duhaime had run an excellent campaign and would return to the National Assembly with several deputies. According to FRANK, Charles Milliard had performed better than expected, and the Liberals had created surprises on the South Shore of Montreal and in Jean-Talon, Quebec. He also praised Ruba Ghazal for limiting his party's losses in a campaign where, according to him, left-wing ideas were not very popular. FRANK stated that Christine Fréchette had made history with the worst result ever obtained by an outgoing government in Quebec. He described PSPP's victory as deserved but bittersweet: the party had gone from 3 to nearly 60 elected officials without obtaining a majority and had lost its long-standing lead in the national capital, where it had not elected any deputies. He attributed this result in part to the PQ's position on the third link. Finally, FRANK wrote that the CAQ might be on life support and that the referendum was too. #ÉlectionsQuébec #PolitiqueQuébécoise #AnalysePolitique (translated)
