In 2003 the organizers of 🇨🇭Open gifted @rogerfederer with a 🐮 Julliette. "I'm going to learn how to milk it. I'll do anything for it" #Federer said back in the day. But what happened to the famous Moo thereafter? As a proud Permis B holder for years, let me give you the downlow
Roger #Federer quickly renamed his cow Ganga, and he soon became a proud bovine grandfather as Ganga gave birth to a calf. The calf was named Edelweiss. The duo, however, didn’t stay in the #Federer household for long. Ganga was sold at a livestock auction in Gstaad.
Unfortunately the fame didn't last long and in 2005 because of old age and lack of milk, Roger #Federer’s first cow was slaughtered.
In 2013, however, #Federer became a proud cow parent once again. That summer Gstaad gifted him another cow whose name was Desirée.
"@opengstaad today Desirée my new friend seemed to be a bit shy at first when we met, I got to admit that I was too!!" @rogerfederer said on Twitter
Desiree soon became a star herself & even had her own @Twitter account. @FederersCow started tweeting regularly, sharing words of wisdom like "Dear @rogerfederer, 🐮 display emotions and have been shown to produce more milk when they are treated better and as individuals"
Unfortunately all good things come to an end, just like "all cows go to heaven" ... @FederersCow@Twitter account has been suspended.
"Got milk?" The END. 😉
Really, the END...

The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the 🇵🇱 Army.
After the destruction of the Palace by 🇩🇪, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier–a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of 🇵🇱” #PolishHistory#WW2#ReparationsForPoland
Less than 4️⃣ years after the @BalticPipe_PL construction agreement was signed the #BalticPipe project is about to become operational on Oct 1 & will be filled with as much gas as is needed to make 🇵🇱 independent from 🇷🇺
#BalticPipe is a strategic #gas infrastructure project with the goal of creating a new supply corridor in 🇪🇺 market. The new pipeline will allow transport of gas from 🇳🇴 to the 🇩🇰 and 🇵🇱 markets, as well as to end users in neighboring countries.
Through the pipeline & the Świnoujście LNG port, 🇵🇱 would be able to bring in as much gas as the country currently requires – 17 billion cubic meters a year. As a result, #Poland will not be at mercy of possible blackmail from #Russia.
Although much of the infrastructure within the borders of newly-independent 🇵🇱 had been destroyed during #WWI, 🇵🇱 was very quick to reestablish its railways. New lines sprang up allowing for economic development and integration.
The railways and their unification was not an easy task as some had to be rebuilt to standardise tracks across the lands of the former partitions. Finance was also a major issue: foreign capital was sought – to little avail.
The adoption of the Act of 23 Sept 1922 on the construction of Gdynia port by 🇵🇱 Parliament is considered the formal beginning of the port of Gdynia. The works on its establishment, however, commenced much earlier... 🧵
The favourable int'l situation, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles & the restoration of 🇵🇱 access to the sea constituted an incentive for the 🇵🇱 gov to take action. The needs of the 🇵🇱 trade were to be secured by the Free City of Gdańsk, located within the customs area of 🇵🇱
In 1920 there was a conflict regarding the blocking of shipment of arms to 🇵🇱 during war w/🇷🇺, calling 🇵🇱 warships at port. The need to build the own sea port became apparent. In 1920, Kazimierz Porębski appointed Mr Wenda, the engineer to choose the place to build a future port.
#OTD, Sept 23, 1939, due to heavy artillery fighting Polish Radio @thenews_PL stopped broadcasting. Before this happened, listeners could listen one last time to a #Chopin concert performed by Władysław Szpilman.
Broadcasting the program was no longer possible without electricity from the Powiśle Power Plant. The damage was too extensive to allow for ongoing repairs. The audience had to say goodbye to the radio.
From Russia with Gas — @tvp_info reveales @donaldtuskEPP's "love" letters to #Putin. Shocking words, reflect the essence of the Civic Platform diplomacy. Amongst others documents include references to the partitions of 🇵🇱 & to tsarist 🇷🇺. #energysecurity#RussiaIsATerroristState
The editors of Jedziemy revealed a previously unknown letter from Donald Tusk to Putin from June 2008. The content of another document with which the then Foreign Affairs MP @radeksikorski traveled to Moscow to meet Lavrov were also published.
In January 2008, Sikorski traveled to Moscow to meet with 🇷🇺 politicians. According to @tvp_info, Sikorski presented an analysis drafted by the 🇵🇱 MFA during the meeting. The analysis consisted of several points that were to constitute a new "philosophy of 🇵🇱-🇷🇺 relations".
