Champions League Final Doesn’t Come Cheap For Hosts Berlin

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern and Juventus await Champions League semi-final draw fate
The Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus will cost the hosting city of Berlin at least 5.2 million euros (5.9 million dollars), the Tagesspiegel paper said on Friday.
The paper said the city’s governing senate had issued a statement concerning the game on June 6, and the women’s final played on Thursday, to the research bureau correctiv.org.

Under rules of the governing body UEFA Berlin has to provide a fan mile for UEFA and its sponsors free of charge, with other areas of the capital also reserved for activities around the match.

Costs for a “celebration party’’ for 500 invited guests on the eve of the men’s game in the Olympic stadium are given at 154,000 euros.

Berlin hopes for an image boost from the game, and will also generate income from the tens of thousands of fans from Spain and Italy to descend on the city. (dpa/NAN)

Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
