We already know that the daughter of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen is infinitely cooler than we'll ever be — even though she's only a year old. But Teigen's latest Instagram post of daughter Luna Simone solidifies what a STAR this baby already is. How could she not be with a supermodel mother and a musical genius father? But Teigen's post also shows that Luna has inherited her fabulous parents' sense of style.
Even though they were busy prepping for the Met Gala, Teigen and Legend made time for their daughter before they hit the big New York event. Specifically, Teigen held a pair of old-school glasses up to Luna's face for a truly adorable Instagram.
See what we mean about Luna already being cooler than us?!
Seriously — she's pretty much a baby model for Warby Parker. Like, we're fairly certain that if those were Warby Parker glasses, the company would be scrambling to feature Luna on their social media.
After all, the vintage-looking, metal aviators that Luna's rocking do bear a resemblance to Warby Parker's York style.
We also know that Warby Parker likes to help out kids, as they recently pledged to donate 20,000 pairs of glasses over the next four years to students in New York City schools.
But even if Luna and Warby are a match made in glasses heaven, we think that Luna may get some bigger modeling jobs if she ends up wanting to pursue the same career as her mom.
And speaking of her mom, although Legend and Teigen could have finished getting ready for the Met Gala — since Teigen had just posted a photo of them in bed with the hilarious caption, "Readddddy. #metball" before the one of Luna — she decided to hang out with her little girl instead (good choice).
Plus, Legend and Teigen still managed to make it to the Met Gala and slay, as per usual.
Sure, Teigen was just having some fun with her baby girl and we ran wild with it, but that's just a testament to the star power all the members of the Teigen-Legend family have.


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Dec. 18, 2017) Foundry Commercial and PGIM Real Estate have formed a joint venture to acquire 48 acres within Bryton Town Center where it will develop Bryton Commerce Center, a 700,000-square-foot light industrial project. Incorporated within the 425-acre Bryton development in Huntersville, the six-building project will deliver in two phases of three buildings each. Construction on the first phase will begin in early 2018. PGIM Real Estate is the real estate investment business of PGIM, the global investment management business of Prudential Financial (NYSE: PRU).
Located off Hambright Road in the northeast quadrant of the Interstate 77 and I-485 interchange, Bryton Commerce Center will feature 30-foot clear height ceilings, tilt-wall construction, ESFR sprinklers and an average office finish of 30 percent. Additionally, the buildings will include a glass-heavy exterior, modern architectural accents, high-end finishes and high parking ratios.
Fermin Deoca and Eric Ridlehoover on Foundry Commercial's industrial leasing team in Charlotte will be immediately marketing the project. Foundry anticipates interest from R&D users, European-based light assembly and manufacturing companies, and a likely concentration in the homebuilding industry given the proximity to Lowe's corporate headquarters.
The Bryton Master Plan includes more than 1 million square feet of retail and 1 million square feet of corporate product to complement the existing and future multifamily and residential projects. The Interstate 77 toll lane project will create a dedicated interchange at I-77 and Hambright Road, providing direct interstate access to Bryton Commerce Center.
Bryton Commerce Center is Foundry's third industrial development in Charlotte this year. Earlier this summer, the commercial real estate firm broke ground on WestPark 85, a 1.1 million-square-foot industrial development located in Charlotte's Airport West submarket, and Steele Point, a 25-acre assemblage containing 370,000 square feet of industrial development in the Southwest submarket. Foundry has a total of seven industrial projects totaling more than 6 million square feet under development at this time located throughout Florida and North Carolina.
The first phase of Bryton Corporate Center is expected to be complete by the end of 2018.
Foundry Commercial is a full-service real estate services and investment company with 290 employees and more than 48 million square feet of management and leasing across the Southeast and Texas. Foundry provides corporate services, brokerage, leasing, building management and project management services, and is the largest real estate service provider to religious and not-for-profit organizations in the Country.

Patient is 49-year-old male who has been seen by Dr. in the past the last time being in 2013. He has had a couple of steroid injections from Dr. to help with acute allergy troubles. Currently, he is having significant problems again. He said they began on Sunday. He was at the tamarack, it was very windy, and then on Monday and Tuesday he just had severe allergy symptoms including nasal congestion, eye irritation, and feeling fatigued and overall horrible he states. He currently complains of nasal symptoms including sneezing, itching, of the nose, nose rubbing, clear nasal discharge, frequent nose blowing, nasal stuffiness, and hoarseness. This does not occur every day. It just seems to be this time of the year May through July. He denies having any sinus infection, nasal polyp, TMJ, frequent headaches, aspirin-induced nasal symptoms, nasal surgery, frequent bad cold, and frequent tonsillitis. This can be quite severe. He does take Zyrtec as needed. He has used fluticasone nasal spray as well and that does help some.
He denies frequent ear infections, dizziness, lightheadedness, and hearing impairment.
He does have eye itching, tearing, dryness, burning, and eyelid irritation. He denies redness, light hurting his eyes, yellow discharge from eyes, or eyelid swelling. This occurs some of the time.
He denies any history of wheezing or lung troubles, frequent coughing spells, or shortness of breath with exercise. He has not had a chest x-ray in the last five years. He denies any allergic skin problems such as eczema or hives. He has not been skin tested for his allergies before.
1. At this time, I do see that patient is having significant allergy troubles. He would benefit from a dose of prednisone. We will do 30 mg for the next four days. I also want him to use Dymista nasal spray one spray each nostril twice daily and an antihistamine to help control his acute allergy symptoms.
2. We did discuss at length that I think it will be important for patient to do skin testing to further evaluate his allergy triggers and possibly pursue allergy immunotherapy to help desensitize his immune system to his allergens. This could help treat his allergic disorders.
3. I also encouraged him to be honest with himself about his EOE and if it is well controlled so he can prevent food getting stuck.

Pop Fly is a junior softball student-athlete at Ocean State University (OSU). Pop was injured last year and was told by her doctors that with the severity of the injury, she is unable to ever practice or compete in intercollegiate athletics again. The coaches want to help Pop finish her degree, so they have designated her as an undergraduate student coach. Pop used to also play volleyball when she was younger, so she approached OSU's volleyball coaches and asked if she could also serve as an undergraduate student coach for the volleyball team.
D. Pop cannot serve as an undergraduate student coach in either sport.
The answer is B. NCAA Staff Interpretation-9/29/14- Undergraduate Student Assistant Coach in Other Sports (I)– states that a student-athlete who has exhausted his or her eligibility or has become injured to the point that he or she is unable to practice or compete ever again, but whose five-year period of eligibility has not expired, may serve as an undergraduate student assistant coach only in the sport in which he or she participated at the institution. If the student-athlete's five-year period of eligibility has expired, he or she may serve as an undergraduate student assistant coach in any sport at the institution where he or she most recently participated in intercollegiate athletics.
Spot Kick is a soccer student-athlete at Ocean State University (OSU). Spot is a junior and currently pursuing a degree in Biology. Spot is not happy with his classes and would like to change his desired degree program to Environmental Science. OSU's policy allows students to change their major at any point during the fall semester. If Spot changes his major now, will his hours have to count toward Biology or Environmental Science for purposes of meeting NCAA progress toward degree requirements at the conclusion of the semester?
Spot's credit hours can count toward Biology or Environmental Science. NCAA Staff Interpretation- 11-10-89- Change of degree program during term time– states that in regard to a student-athlete who is permitted to change his or her designated degree program during term time in accordance with institutional policy and determined that the degree credits the student-athlete earns during that term can be applicable toward the degree previously sought or toward the new desired degree for satisfactory progress purposes.
Andy Athlete is highly touted prospect being recruited by Ocean State University (OSU) in the sports of football and track. Andy is going to take an official visit to OSU's campus this weekend and meet with both coaching staffs. Does the visit have to count against the 56 visit limit in the sport of football since he is also being recruited by the track and field coaches?
The Ocean State University softball team is going to participate in an alumni game this fall. The coaches plan to redshirt two of the freshmen student-athletes, so if they participate in this game and no other competition for the remainder of the 2014-15 academic year, can they still receive a redshirt status?
Clay Court is a tennis student-athlete at Ocean State University (OSU). Clay asks his coach to call the pro at a country club in his hometown, so that he can have some free time on one of the indoor courts during the Christmas holiday. The coach arranges for Clay to hit balls free of charge. This country club offers student discount rates throughout the year.
Ocean State University men's basketball coaches are finalizing their home visits for the remainder of the fall semester. One of their recruit's parents do not speak english. Can the coaches bring an interpreter with them to the home visit?
Wheel Route is a football prospect that will be visiting Ocean State University's (OSU) campus this weekend for an unofficial visit. Wheel is interested in pursuing a major in criminal justice and would like to speak to an academic advisor in that department while visiting campus. Is is permissible for OSU to arrange such a meeting for Wheel?
Yes. NCAA Bylaw 13.7.2.1.7 states that an athletics department staff member may arrange academic interviews for a prospective student-athlete on an unofficial visit.

Song Premiere: Itheist's "Infernal Insurrection"
Monday, 3rd June 2019 By Kyle McGinn
Start your week off with some experimental blackened death metal from the UK's Itheist. We at DR bring you another pre-release single from their self-titled, due out on June 21st. If you enjoy what you hear, you can pre-order the album at the band's Bandcamp site HERE or simply click on the Bandcamp widget at the bottom of the page (where you can also check out two more tracks).
About the song:
One of the more straight-ahead pulverizers on the album, "Infernal Insurrection" has plenty of moments featuring some hellish speed and dark, tremolo-picked riffing. In and of itself, that's reason enough to dig in for a listen as the caustic sounds give a quick adrenaline fix. But the song is about much more than steamrolling. You will also find a good sense of melody and balance as the song progresses. From its eerie, mood-setting opening and gradual build-up to a blackened stampede, to several moments of darkly woven melodies and atmospheric slowdowns, there's a great deal of depth for the listener to digest. Something that can be easily expanded to the entire album itself, which deftly combines more traditional black and death metal spirits and inserts some dissonant and otherworldly vibes to meld it into something more exotic and experimental in design.
About the band:
Itheist (formerly Aetherium Mors) is a UK-based extreme metal band formed by multi-instrumentalist Dan Couch and vocalist/lyricist Kane Nelson, with roots tracing back to 2004.
Now with the recently completed self-titled full-length debut album ready to unleash, Itheist is ready to enter a new phase of existence and creativity. With songwriter Dan's involvement in multiple musical projects over the years (including Black/Death Metal band Carcinoma and Black/Thrash band Holodomor among others) making a marked impression on his writing style, the new album brings together blackened melody with dissonance, creating a unique style of Extreme Metal. Elements of classic bands such as Death, Carcass and Dissection collide with more experimental bands such as Akercocke, Ulcerate and Gorguts, but without compromising Itheist's own identity.
The new self-titled album was tracked by Dan in his own private studio. Mixing and mastering was handled by Damian Herring (owner of Subterranean Watchtower Studios and Vocalist/Guitarist of US Death Metal band Horrendous). Damian was a conscious choice through his work mixing and mastering his own music, as well as countless highly respected underground bands such as Blood Incantation, Moss Upon the Skull and Ellorsith. His mixing ethos is a highly dynamic, anti-'Loudness Wars' approach which fits perfectly with Itheist's sonic vision.
The incredible stippled-style album artwork is by Manuel Tinnemans (who has also provided art for Spearhead, Scythian, and Lychgate among others), and depicts a horde of demons entering a Heavenly throne room, tearing through celestial beings in an orgy of violent destruction; a fitting visual representation of the album's musical content.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUTPATIENT AND HOSPITAL LIPID-LOWERING THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH AND VERY HIGH CARDIOVASCULAR RISK DURING 2011-2015
S. A. Smetnev, A. I. Ershova, R. S. Bogdanova, A. N. Meshkov, S. A. Boytsov
PDF (Eng) | PDF (Eng)
Aim. To estimate the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) at outpatient and hospital treatment stages in patients at high and very high cardiovascular risk during 2011-2015.
Material and methods. In a cross-sectional epidemiological study we analyzed LLT in hospital patients for the period April-May 2011, 2012 and 2015. All data were obtained from randomly selected case-records of patients (n=548; 20% of all hospital patients over the study period). Risk categories of patients as well as target levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were determined according to the current clinical guidelines for the respective year. Outpatient LLT was administered in local out-patient clinics and hospital one – in the clinic of State Research Centre for Preventive Medicine.
Results. The most commonly prescribed group of lipid-lowering drugs was statins, while combined treatment or monotherapy with other lipid-lowering agents were used only in rare cases. From 2011 to 2015 the proportion of patients taking statins before admission increased from 20% to 49.8% (from 23.1% up to 29.6% of patients at high cardiovascular risk and from 28% up to 68.5% of patients at very high cardiovascular risk, respectively). During hospitalization the proportion of individuals receiving statins increased from 49.8% to 72.9%, from 29.6% to 74% and from 68.5% to 95.3% in general group, among patients at high and very high cardiovascular risk, respectively. In 2015 LDL cholesterol target levels were achieved in 14.8% and 7.1% of patients at high and very high risk, respectively. In-hospital rate of simvastatin administration reduced from 33.6% to 0.5%, whereas prescription of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin increased from 31.4% to 64.5% and from 3.6% to 9.9%, respectively. Average dose of statins (in conversion to atorvastatin) increased from 10 mg to 20 mg in high-risk patients and from 10 mg to 40 mg – in very high risk group.
Conclusion. Positive trend in frequency of LLT prescription was demonstrated in patients at high and very high cardiovascular risk during 2011-2015. Nevertheless, significant number of patients in out-patient clinics still remains under non-optimal treatment.

Ron Hlasny – Builder
From a strong competitor to coach, Ron Hlasny's love of speed skating has resulted in the Prince Albert Speed Skating Club. At age 14 Hlasny joined the Saskatoon Lions Speed Skating club where he competed in provincial, western Canadian and National levels.
Hlasny then stepped back from the sport to attend school in Lethbridge where he was recruited by a parent to assist with three young long track skaters making up the Lethbridge Speed Skating Club. One of the three skaters he coached there won a silver medal at the Alberta Provincials and his coaching career was forged.
After school, Ron and his wife, Heather settled down in Prince Albert where they would create the Prince Albert Speed Skating Club in 1991. Similar to Lethbridge, the PA Speed Skating Club started with three members, all from one family that recently moved to PA from BC. The Club was the fourth in the province joining Moose Jaw, Regina and Saskatoon. One of the highlights of the club was an outdoor oval Ron and other club members, along with help from SIGA, Broda Construction Inc., Prince Albert Fire Department and the Midtown Rink Association, built and maintained at the PA Exhibition Grounds for 3 years in the mid 2000's. The oval allowed skaters to try long track speed skating and a place for school groups to take children out for a skate.
Ron and Heather Hlasny operated the PA Speed Skating Club for 10 years before both of their children would compete from 2001 to 2010. Daughter Magda has followed in her father's footsteps as one of the PASSC's coaches. There have been many successful athletes under Hlasny's coaching that have gone on to the Saskatchewan Speed Skating Provincial and Development Teams for both short and long track. Skaters at this level attend training camps and continue to be coached by the local club.
Many members of the Prince Albert Speed Skating Club have competed in both the Saskatchewan and Canadian Winter Games. One skater, Elliott Nelson moved on to both the National and International level in long track speed skating.
One of Ron Hlasny's best attributes that has resulted in a long and successful career as founder and coach of the PASSC is his willingness to help everyone in the sport. He has reached out to many nearby communities like Debden, Shellbrook, Nipawin, Kinistino and Melfort to welcome athletes of help a in forming a club. He often takes time at meets to confer with other coaches about the technical aspect of their skaters' performance.
Ron Hlasny has had a tremendously positive affect on athletes and families through the sport of Speed Skating in Prince Albert and has nothing but praise for the skaters, their parents and the communities in the Prince Albert area that have helped to maintain the Prince Albert Speed Skating Club over the last 25 years.

Life on Nanchang Lu: Lovely Lychees!
Take a look at these beauties! The weather is slowly warming up, and with it all sorts of fantastic tropical fruits are making a comeback in the fruit stores. Like the mangosteens I wrote about a few weeks ago, these lychees taste amazing.
Now that I live in a place where it's pretty difficult and extraordinarily expensive to get anything out of season (and rightly so) I have come to really appreciate the seasonality of the fruits and vegetables I'm eating. And they taste so much better too! So in my local fruit store, after the relative fruit austerity of the Shanghai winter (pomelo, apples, oranges, kumquats, winter strawberries) there is now an abundance of choice - pineapples, rambutans, durian, lychees, summer strawberries, watermelon, honeydew melon, papaya, mangosteen, bananas, mulberries. And these are just the ones I know the names of.
The lychees are at their peak right now. Each one is the size of a fat apricot, and they're sold like this, still on the stalk, tied in a bunch. The bunch above weighs about 2.5 kg. The tough, knobbled skin yields that delicious juicy, fresh, perfumed lychee flesh. Heaven!

Hamilton Overwhelms Browning in Football – 70 to 28
Steve Fullerton Published: September 7, 2018
Hamilton High School Broncs. (KLYQ File Photo, Townsquare Media)
The Hamilton High School Bronc football team defeated the Browning Indians in a non-conference game 70 to 28 Friday night, September 7.
The Browning Indians came out strong in a lengthy and error-prone first quarter. They scored two times and led 14-0. Then, the Broncs came back with the Rostad to Rothie combination and two-point conversions to end the quarter in the lead 16 to 14. Browning started the second quarter with a TD, but no extra point. After that, the Broncs fired up the scoring machine with five unanswered touchdowns to go into the halftime locker room with a 34-point lead, 54 to 20. A Bronc kick-off return starting the 3rd quarter took the score up to 62 - 20 and that started the "35-point" rule, where the game clock keeps running except for official time-outs. Hamilton soon scored again to reach 70 points in the third quarter and began freely substituting for the rest of the game. At the end of the fourth quarter, Browning scored one more time and added a two-point conversion. The final score - Hamilton 70 Browning 28. It was the Broncs' third win in the early season and their second win on the road. They return to Hamilton's Haynes Field next Friday for a game against Polson. KLYQ will again broadcast the game at 1240 AM, on-line at klyq.com and on your cellphone with the KLYQ App.

Exports your three.js scenes to svg!

## Problems
* A bit innaccurate. Scale up le demo cube and you'll see some faces get the background color. Pull color from the fragment shader?
* colors are a bit dark, no idea why

## TODO - colors
* Render to main render target
* Render to wireframe render target: set material to all black except for bright pink (or whatever) wireframe. see multimaterialobject here https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/src/extras/SceneUtils.js
* Get pixel data on main render target
* Get pixel data on wireframe render target
* For each face
	* Identify face centroid (this is done already)
	* Flood fill from face centroid on wireframe target: if the pixel is black, record the color of the same pixel on the main render target, push that pixel to a face color array
	* Average (median?) the face color array
	* Set that color to the color of the svg polygon

A: It looks you are using DATORAMA and its Presto connector.
But, Presto on TreasureData doesn't support general Presto connector.
So, currently, you can't issue query from DATORAMA to TreasureData directly.
But, the query in Treasure Data can be pushed results into Datorama by using Result output to FTP.
Please check these documents.

These are the words of keyboard critics such as myself. I know that as a critic, it is very easy for me, while sitting in front of a television with a glass of water to the side, to make one pronouncement after another. I know the critic often comes across as a know-it-all, when in fact the athlete is the person sweating and toiling in the arena, having to endure the mental roller-coasters and moments of agony on the thorny path to an ATP Tour championship.
Precisely because the critic can always say something simple to describe an athletic feat which is, in reality, very difficult, a critic must use restraint and keep larger tensions in balance. This doesn't mean withholding criticism; it's more precise than that. The critic must pick his or her spots to criticize, and give athletes or coaches the benefit of the doubt while still pointing to a better way of proceeding.
That fits the situation attached to Alexander Zverev after his come-from-ahead loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday in Toronto.
On an immediate level, Zverev and Tsitsipas both played Washington, so the idea that one player benefited more (or less) from playing Washington could reasonably be contested. Also on an immediate level, Zverev would never have become tired enough to lose this match had he finished the job at 4-1 and 0-30 (on Tsitsipas' serve) in the second set. Zverev could have won this match very easily if he had not made some basic errors, the products of a pure lapse in concentration, NOT fatigue. The fatigue didn't set in until the third set, when both players played very ragged and uneven tennis.
It is true that fatigue and freshness did not represent the whole story of this Toronto quarterfinal — anything but. A lot of different tension points were competing in this match. Various arguments contain merit and value when discussing this contest, which turned from a routine one-hour match to a very complicated and long three-set battle in a heartbeat.
Yet, with those tension points having been noted, it DOES remain that Zverev played a mentally weary third set. Tsitsipas was physically wearing down, but he fought well and kept his nerves when in danger, showing the rapid growth of a player destined for greatness. Tsitsipas deserves very high marks for his fighting skills and his resourcefulness, but his tennis was not particularly special. Zverev frankly should have beaten him — that is not unfair to Tsitsipas to say as much — but the German lost his way just when he was about to deliver a dagger.
Is it THAT controversial, then, to opine that if Zverev had not played Washington, he likely would have won this match? I don't think so. Yes, there are points to debate on the margins, and as said above, a lot of different realities were at work in this match, but fatigue was definitely one important part of this mosaic of several factors.
Zverev was defending a title and 500 points in Washington. The idea that a 21-year-old player would want to defend a title is natural and, moreover, healthy. Why shouldn't a young buck try to win consecutive titles? Zverev has shown that he can indeed defend his territory well. He has made consecutive Rome finals, won consecutive Washington titles, and generally exhibited a lot of staying power on tour ever since Miami back in late March. Zverev has also made a point of developing his physical fitness to the extent that he could play three tournaments in three straight weeks (Munich, Madrid, Rome) and make deep runs without suffering. He also gutted out consecutive five-set wins at Roland Garros. Zverev's stamina was highly questioned in January at the Australian Open. He has conclusively shown that he can run long-distance races now. That question has been asked and firmly answered. Therefore, the idea that playing Washington before Canada and Cincinnati would not hurt Zverev is defensible and intellectually coherent.
I do agree with — and accept — the contention that Zverev thought he could win consecutive titles in Washington and Canada once again. I do think that is where his mind is. I also can accept that it is a good and hungry mindset for a very young athlete to have.
Plainly stated: I do not think playing Washington was an appalling scheduling error for Zverev. He is young and full of aspiration, and one thing I have long believed about young athletes is that they need to be given space to make decisions and learn from the ones which are flawed. I can live with his Washington decision, even in the midst of his Toronto loss. I don't view it as a mistake.
BUT (you knew a "BUT" was coming, right?): In the future, Mr. Zverev would do well to recalibrate his scheduling practices.
Look at the difference between Kevin Anderson and Dominic Thiem as a classic example of how to schedule (or not schedule) as a top-10 player with strong credentials. Thiem played a schedule that Fabio Fognini would schedule, but unlike Fognini, Thiem has shown he can do well at clay Masters 1000 events and the French Open. Thiem shouldn't think that he needs to pick up points at ATP 500s and 250s. Fognini is the player who should do that. Thiem, only 24 — whereas Fognini is 31 — should try to structure his career around the majors and Masters tournaments, given that he is just about to enter his physical prime and doesn't know what he is fully capable of. Fognini, at 31, has run most of his race as an ATP pro. It is much more sensible and acceptable for him to go "off-road" and bank points at smaller tournaments, since he knows those venues are where he has always performed best. Thiem is not in that situation and should take a different path… but he didn't.
Kevin Anderson, on the other hand, after making a second Wimbledon final and reaching the top five, withdrew from Washington. He realized he needed rest. He realized that pursuing a points-pickup opportunity at a 1,000-point event mattered more than trying to defend his 300 finalist points in Washington from the previous year. Anderson is now one win away from making a first Masters final, which would continue to increase his standing not only in the rankings table, but in the larger picture of global tennis. Anderson has realigned his goals in accordance with his changed place in the cosmos. Thiem made no such adjustments. Those careers are going in very different directions as a (partial) result.
Scheduling matters. You are seeing examples of why it matters at every turn this summer. Zverev is only 21, so if he wants to test his physical limits, fine — really, that's fine. There's no sarcasm there. I directly accept that desire and view it as healthy and normal.
However, let's just put it this way: If Zverev is scheduling like this at age 24, he will be in Thiem territory. He does not want to go there, and he should not want to go there.
Zverev has shown that he can mop up the field at ATP 500s. What is specific to the Citi Open which doesn't carry over to some of the other 500s on the ATP Tour, however, is that it comes right before two Masters events. At least the Barcelona 500 tour stop — which Rafael Nadal plays every year — has an off week after it, before the Madrid-Rome double stack. Washington is not followed by an off week preceding Canada-Cincinnati. There are times to pick off that 500 title, and there are times to pass it up in pursuit of bigger fish.
I don't fault Zverev for wanting to pick off a 500 now, at age 21, but in three years, he can't schedule the same way.
He has shown he is ready for his bachelor's degree and graduation from a four-year university. The coming years will be his graduate school course.
He will need to adjust his study plans.

Dublin South West TD, Seán Crowe, has called on the Minister for Health to stop squandering taxpayers' money by delaying a decision on a new Dialysis Unit for Tallaght Hospital.
The Sinn Féin TD raised the issue in the Dáil today saying there is a severe lack of capacity for dialysis in the region. He questioned the Minister on the continued delays in a promised new unit, especially considering that the current unit is not able to meet demand, while millions of euros are being spent on private services.
"Tallaght University Hospital is the regional centre of excellence for the Dublin Midlands hospital group and provides regional services such as 24-hour acute kidney dialysis care and home dialysis therapies. The crux of the problem is that Tallaght now has insufficient capacity to meet its growing demands. The hospital staff are doing fantastic and lifesaving work, but it is clear that the original unit has seen its day.
"The unit is clearly not HIQA compliant and because of the lack of space, it is open to cross-infection. If the unit is not compliant with the Department of Health's own infection guidelines, then there is a responsibility on them to fast track the building of a new unit.
"Dialysis activity at Tallaght Hospital has increased to more than 30,000 dialysis treatments per year, but it only has a designed capacity for 9,000 treatments a year. The remainder are delivered in satellite dialysis units. This is private, costly, and represents an unacceptable clinical risk to many of the patients.
"Last year in a Dáil question I asked Minister Harris to outline how much taxpayers were paying for private dialysis services and was told that it cost over €4 million in 2017, and this doesn't even include the added transport costs for dialysis patients, which was an extra €1.2 million.
"It is absolutely bonkers that the current system is squandering scarce money on private services when an alternative is available in Tallaght. The shovel ready site is identified, the building of the unit won't impact on the hospital, and there is no planning issue with the local authority, it just needs a final decision from Minister Harris.
"In 2017 there was a commitment to go ahead with a new unit, but without warning, it was inexplicably cancelled in January 2018. The continued delay and failure to build a new dialysis unit is impacting directly on patients, increasing health care costs, and having a negative effect on the hard pressed staff within the hospital.
"We know that a delay doesn't make any financial sense. There is also a growing medical need and continued delays in building this new unit is putting lives at risk.


One of the hardest social situations to face is starting a conversation with someone you know very little about. You might already understand that the key to being a good conversationalist is to be a good listener; You need to ask questions that will get to the interesting part of someone, and then be truly interested in listening.
You don't need to be extroverted to be a great conversationalist; you need to care about other people. You need to trust that you will find other people interesting because you are a curious, engaged person. The good news for introverts is that this means working a room doesn't require comfort with crowds as much as it requires comfort with yourself.
The problem is that it's hard to figure out how to get to that interesting part of someone. But here's some encouragement: Forty percent of young people think they are shy, and the percentage gets higher over time. However most people do not have a shyness disorder to overcome, they just need a little more practice. For example, "Most socially confident people deliberately learn specific skills, like understanding the predictable format of a conversation with new people, and focusing on the topic rather than on how one is being perceived," according to Erika Casriel, writing in Psychology Today.
So I found someone who is in this situation a lot, and actually gets paid for it: Moira Gunn, author of the book Welcome to Biotech Nation. Her radio show, Tech Nation, is known for introducing hard-core scientists to people who aren't especially interested in science. She finds a lot of people to interview by going to the International Biotech Conference, and she does the interviews herself even though she knows very little about biotech.
The way that Gunn gets such fun and interesting interviews out of her subjects is by not having a preconception of what they'll be talking about. She wants to find that spot where they are engaged and knowledgeable, because anyone on any topic will be interesting if they have that. She says the key is to be open to where the other person wants to go, and to listen.
It's Gunn's job to figure out a way to connect with these scientists and part of the fun of the interviews is hearing her do that, because it's what we have to do all the time when we make small talk. Yes, the scientists are extremely smart, but Gunn says the hard part is to get them to the point where they are talking about something comprehensible.
One of Gunn's favorite interviews was with a food safety researcher who ended up talking about mussels. He told her that you are only supposed to eat them in months that have Rs in them, because in June, July and August the water is warm and bacteria levels go up, and muscles are basically filters.
Gunn's favorite part of this interview wasn't even the science. Mr Food Safety is a vegetarian. Gunn laughs out loud when she tells me. She is great at small talk because she can go to the International Biotech conference and find comedy.
Gunn has done interviews with difficult people for years, and by now she is able to get even the worst conversationalist into territory where he is interesting. But she's had a lot of practice.
You have to practice making conversation if you want to be good. "Building confidence is like learning to swing a golf club. It boils down to knowing what the critical skills are and practicing them. Even Tiger Woods still practices for hours every day," says Bernardo Carducci, director of Indiana University Southeast's Shyness Research Institute (also in Psychology Today).
Of course, in order to practice this you have to open yourself up for some awkward situations. But there is no way to grow without being awkward at first, so try it. It feels good to be able to find the interesting thing about anyone you talk with. I find the more confident I am in my ability to do this, the more open I am to the whole world. After lots of practice I have a deep belief that everyone has something to offer if I can just get the guts to start the conversation.
Thanks for pointing out Gunn… I'll tune in. Another person that has mastered the art of conversation: Terry Gross. On her NPR bio page she is quoted, "What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being – €˜found out.' It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood." She's the best!
I just pulled out your book because I recall you talking about storytelling. You write, "Good talkers recognize that there's something interesting about every person and it's their job to get them talking. But you can't only bombard people with questions. You also need to reveal things about yourself. The best way is by telling fun and interesting stories that make you look good." Opening up is difficult and requires practice.
I've never been the smartest, richest, or best looking person in the room, but I always received the job offer, closed the deal and got laid because the world rewards an authentic and engaging soul. Sure, sometimes it's easy to just fire away the questions, but good conversation is a bit like gay ballroom dancing – everyone gets a turn at leading and following.
This advice is useful and very true. I am tagged as an extrovert, but often find myself clamming up when put in professional networking situations. Why? Because I already think that the people I will meet will be boring or disagreeable. By following the advice Penelope has laid out here, I find myself not only learning more, but enjoying the company of the people I am around. This of course means better networking, and in my personal professional case, better fundraising.
This is a supplemental tip that I picked up from a magazine a long time ago: when people tell you a story, they don't want you to respond with your own story. Whenever you tell a different story in response, what you are essentially telling the other person is that their experience is less relevant and less important. If you're dealing with someone who's already shy, then topping their story is only going to shut them down further.
Good conversations, in my experience, typically resolve into a story-teller and an audience. If you feel unbearably shy, then focus on being a responsive audience. Be audibly impressed whenever possible and ask for explanations when conversation lulls. Don't be afraid to politely disagree; a reasoned negative response also implies attentiveness. Good audiences are typically in short supply, so learning to be one will actually make you quite popular. Which is, I suppose, the whole point of Penelope's post.
This is a great tip. Thanks. I confess to be guilty of responding to a story with a story. And it makes total sense that this does not feel good to the first story teller. And, your comment makes me realize that playing storytelling battle games is not exactly the most engaging way to tell a story anyway.
Thank you for making me a better listener and a better story teller– all in one comment!
Brilliant and conveniently timed (for me). Big networking to-do tonight, this is wonderful preparation. Owe ya one. Ok, like 9, but who's counting?
I'm a introvert. I naturally find myself listening a lot to what people have to say and, knowing that this is a good way to connect with people, trying to maximise it.
But I find many people will monologue at me and I just get bored. Perhaps I haven't mastered the art of finding what makes people tick but I'm wary that, given the chance, most people will drone on about themselves for as long as you will let them.
Many people don't ask you questions back and barely register your comments. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or have the misfortune to run into lots of self absorbed people. Any tips of turning someone's monologue into a conversation?
I have the same problem. Also, when i really look people in the eye and listen, I find they usually stop looking at me and forget to be interested in me too. Conversation bores me. It gets to the point where I will forcefully try to act a different way to see if I can manipulate the conversation. Its kind of like my life becomes an act…? if that makes sense.
I find that point very interesting. I almost always say to people, "I'm shy," and then they give me a shocked look of disbelief. Several years back, I definitely had some serious social anxiety, so I'll never be a natural social butterfly. But the older I get, the more I realize that, once the ball gets rolling with a simple statement or two, it's very easy and natural for me to speak with all sorts of people. You do just have to have the guts, like you say, Penelope.
Catherine Jones, my boyfriend and I talk about what you bring up a lot–monologues rather than conversations. My boyfriend is by far the most attuned, phenomenal listener I've ever met in my life. That's what blew me away about him. From the he asked these great questions that showed his genuine interest and great attention to detail. It frustrates him that that often isn't reciprocated. I think being a truly great listener is a rare quality. I have the tendency to tune out and ramble when I talk.
I also have some people in my life who are truly self-absorbed. I think with them, you have to realize it isn't so much about you. With those people, you may just have to jump in and get your comments in there. Also, in some families and cultures, you're expected to interrupt in order to convey interest rather than just passively listen. Perhaps some of that plays into your encounters too.
I always make an effort to be the guy who says hello to the new person in a group. I just remember what that feels like, and I know that most people would prefer to be approached rather than have to break in cold.
That said, I don't think it's my natural gift or role–I just see that there's a need to be friendly to those people and I do it. It feels at least a little awkward almost always, and I tend to get somewhat self-conscious. However, when I confess those feelings of awkward self-consciousness to my wife or friends, they often laugh at the notion that I am shy.
Just because you are uncomfortable, doesn't mean you shouldn't reach out. Just because someone reaches out, doesn't mean they are comfortable. It's part of how many people are wired–we want to be accepted yet are afraid of conflict and rejection.
Love this comment. It's important to know that the people who look like they are the stellar conversationalists at the party are actually people who have conversation misgivings themselves. I really appreicate the image of the person who walks up to the new guy at the party is actually feeling nervous himself. So honeset, and inspiring — we should all be so kind as to appraoch the new person even though it feels awkward.
Another post that hits the sweet spot! And not only do these 'social awkwardnesses' occur in networking but they have cropped up as campus guide, a new assigned mentor or chapter president. I agree that letting people know that you are genuine and care make a world of difference. Some small things such as a firm handshake and repeating someone's name after they introduce themselves (Nice to meet you, Penelope.)indicate that.
An interesting observation that cements the idea that EVERYONE is somewhat nervous- where does everyone go first? To get a drink so they can at least clutch at something.
Here's an interesting question this post raises: What happens when you've struck a good conversation with someone and they keep on rambling but you would like to meet other people? It's obviously not a safe place for strangers to jump in and introduce themselves.
Some tactful advice I've gotten is to spot a friend and say "Oh, have you met so-and-so?" and get another person involved a previously 2 person conversation. You can introduce people in this manner until there's a decent group size and the conversation is flowing without your constant input. Then you can excuse yourself to talk to someone else or to fetch an appetizer (as an excuse:) without making them feel stranded. Not only can this free up yourself, but they will appreciate you assistance in helping them network!
Any suggestions for doing so if you don't know any other people in the room?
And to the comment above re: responding to a story with a story — I've been guilty of that. And I agree, it's not a great position to put the other person in. Not at all.
Your post also reminded me of one of my favorite conversation stories. I was on a business trip that involved 6 hours of driving with a colleague I barely knew. On the way up, I asked him a few "starter questions" about where he grew up,and it was off to the races. He went off on a 3 hour monologue about his family, high school, ne'er do well brother, church growing up, first car, the street he lived on, his family's house, the dog…. When he stopped for a breath, I would ask a follow-on question ("what color was the dog?"), and he'd be off again. On the way back, 3 more hours,this time about college,jobs,first car, second car, third car, wife, son, and political philosophy.
He did not once ask me anything about myself. Not once.
The upshot was that a day or so laterI saw him in the hall and said, "Hi, Jeff." He looked at me without one iota of recognition.
This is always a great topic but someone who goes ot a conference to interview people as part of her job is not a perfect model of the average person.
Let's say you meet a stranger, find "the money topic" and he gives you all he's got. How do you then get rid of him?
When a reporter calls you she just says I've got to go and hangs up. And you accept it because it's business.
In a more informal setting, do you just hold out your hand whenever you feel like it and say nice to meet you and show him your back?
I believe one of the most key element in making conversation is to start listening.
In my experience as a Generation Y, who switch career from a Pharmaceutical Production Engineer which requires minimal socializing to a IT Solution Sales which is the direct opposite, listening skill wins me very meaningful conversation.
I have also found that it is important not to pre-judge people before striking a conversation, I have often been left dumbfolded and amazed at how wrong I had been in my pre-judgement. People are not always what they seems….
I have learnt never to pre-judge people negatively before striking a conversation because sometimes, they can actually see it through me and it affects the conversation altogether. Striking a conversation with someone unknown is almost like opening a package and not knowing what to expect inside until its opened….
Charity I love your analogy – striking a conversation with someone unknown is like opening a package and not knowing what to expect. I will think of that next time I approach someone to start a conversation.
As an introverted adult Asperger, running through an open field with an entire regiment of the North Vietnamese Regular Army shooting a month's worth of ammunition in 30 seconds at me, is far preferable to attempting to strike up a conversation with someone I don't know.
Guess I'm really screwed, aren't I?
Here's the other side of the coin that can be even more challenging – a quality conversation with someone you've known for a long time. You know their likes and dislikes, interests, habits, etc. so well that finding a 'new topic' can be difficult. You ask what's new in their life and then you go over what you've been doing lately. There's times I can only go so far and then I'm drawing blanks as to what the next topic of discussion should be. If both people are experiencing this predicament at the same time, it really gets to be awkward. This other side of the coin challenge is to maintain a lively and interesting conversation. Sometimes and with some people it will take nearly no effort at all. However there are those times when I really have to work at it by truly listening and being engaged in the conversation. Maybe all that is required is to use the same skills as you would with someone you don't know on someone you do know but in a different way or direction.
I love meeting new people & am naturally curious, so this is something that comes easily to me.
What works for me is finding areas of common interest. This is especially true when I meet new people (like on a flight, or on a business trip). I just keep asking questions about the topics that interest me.
I think that "Everyone is cool" and that if you keep talking, you'll get to what that cool thing is.
Starting with "where are you from?" and going from there is great – I just think of everyone as an expert in something – and I just have to keep asking. So if they are from New York, I ask about some things that I saw there on a vacation. I ask anything i've ever wondered about NY.
If they are an NFL ref (this happened one time), I ask about what happens when they blow a call, how do they get assigned to games, how do they get into refereeing.
It's always amazing what you'll find out if you come from a place of curiousity. But you have to be willing to steer the conversation to the things that interest you.
Nice said! I'm a kind of introverted..what introverted? I have social phobia to be precise and it is really difficult to make it in the current society.
This condition happens mostly during the winter and on parties/trips. Otherwise, I can act normal!
For those who don't yet know and use them, the best words to develop a conversation are 'How' and 'What'. They begin open questions and lead to informative answers. If you add some insightful comments, it doesn't take long for rapport to develop.
One caution, you may find yourself to a long monologue and you will need some more linguistic tools to deal with this if you have an 'agenda' of your own.
i realized tht um not a good communicator with my x..he was always angry cuz i dunn talk a lot.otherwise my freinds enjoy my company they say that am funny nd intresting..when it refers to guys i cant be comfortable,i have a date after 2 days with a very hot guy he is my boss he works in the feild of modeling,he is showing intrest bt i dunn knw if he knws me more this will grow,or by silence nd insuitable words its gunna work good.
I tested this out my self, body control is a significant factor in relation to an excellent conversation. Keeping your facial expressions relevant to the story being told is critical, As well as sitting/standing up straight while listening or talking. Plus Does anybody want someone just stareing at them with big old eyes the whole time theyre talking? No, follow the "storys" emotions and show that on your face by either smiling,lifting your eyebrows,or giving them the old "wow thats crazy" is allways good. question for you guys though, how do you get to talk with a crowd of people more comfortably?
what's awkward for me is that, as a child, there's so much freedom and innocence to seemingly make friends with the whole wide world. the more you grow up and learn more boundaries & rules for socializing, I now often feel like I have to be re-educated on how to make the simplest of connection…ESPECIALLY because everything I enjoy doing (writing books, making fun videos, singing and acting) are all activities that require getting out there and relying on new faces all the time to make a name for yourself.
I experience people mostly brag about there grandchildren or the education (college) there kids are getting. Our children did not go to college or did we & we also don't have any grandchildren, so this makes me very uncomfortable & uneducated. How do I respond to this.
Thank you for the great post. Hal Saflieni Hypogeum seems like a wonderful archaelogical site. It would be interesting to see that place.
Good conversations, in my experience, typically resolve into a story-teller and an audience. If you feel unbearably shy, then focus on being a responsive audience.
Salamat sa iyo para sa mahusay na-post. Hal Saflieni Hypogeum tila tulad ng isang kahanga-hangang archaelogical site.
Location is good for me and everyone. Thanks a lot.
Localização é boa para mim e para todos. Muito obrigado.
Thanks for your post great. I like your information.
I feel comfortable with starting a conversation with a question.
But I don't really know how, especially if it is with someone I don't know well at all.
after reading his article ,really ..i m feeling much better than i ever felt. Thanks to all you buddies+?..
Hi there, simply became alert to your blog via Google, and found that it is truly informative. I'm going to watch out for brussels. I'll appreciate if you continue this in future. A lot of folks will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
Content very good. I like it.
Love blog and everything! Thanks!
