Recently we received an email from one of our readers asking for help and exercises to help rowers with lower back injuries or who are in danger of developing such injuries.
My first reaction was to wonder what was causing these injuries. Targeting the cause of common injuries is always beneficial in the long-term than just treating the injuries themselves. Lower back injuries are common in rowers but the reasons for these injuries developing are varied. It may be that a programme doesn't develop flexibility, strength, or posture and technique to properly support the lower back.
Without seeing the athletes who are affected, and seeing their training programme, it is difficult to determine what the problem is, but over the next two weeks I will explore some of the most common causes of lower back injuries and how they can be managed or avoided.
The most common cause of lower back injury in rowers is incorrect posture.
Typically, rowers develop lower back injuries by putting too much pressure on their spine while it is in a weak, unsupported position during the rowing stroke (either on the erg or in the boat). This usually occurs when rowers get their forward body angle by bending the back, over-reaching at the catch, or collapsing the lower back at the finish.
Core exercises, such as the static and dynamic exercises detailed in my previous articles, can help to provide support for the back, but correcting bad posture is the best solution to reduce risk of injury in the long-term. Work to improve a rower's posture should be done in conjunction with developing strength and flexibility to allow them to achieve the correct positions during the stroke.
At the finish, the lower back should be supported and not allowed to collapse. The rowers will feel the difference here as a supported lower back will keep them sitting taller and sitting on their 'sit bones' instead of slouching with weight on the buttocks. Imagine holding the rib-cage high and keeping the chest up. This straightens the lower back and uses the core for support.
Rowers should obtain their forward body angle by a rotation of the pelvis and a hinge from the hips. This keeps the spine in as much of a neutral position as possible, reducing the stretch on the back. Back muscles will tire less quickly, allowing them to be used for longer to maintain good support of the spine. The stretch should be felt on the hamstrings rather than the mid or upper-back. Visualise the pelvis rotating forward and the coccyx being brought forward so the base of the spine moves towards a forward angle. Sit on your sit-bones and rock your weight towards the front of the seat. Hip and hamstring flexibility will improve forward reach over time – more on this in the next article.
Forward body angle which is achieved in this way creates a much stronger position at the catch where the force generated from the legs connects to the handle through a straight back, rather than an arched lower back. The forward body angle should be achieved early (arms, body, slide) and maintained into the front end of the stroke. Into frontstops the rower should think about keeping the chest up (just as when doing a dead-lift) and not reaching for extra length. I tell my rowers than any length from body-reach which they don't have by quarter-slide they shouldn't reach for into frontstops. Maintain the body angle and use leg compression to get your length. Work on hip and hamstring flexibility off the water to get a longer stroke. This creates a strong base stroke which can be lengthened, rather than a long weak stroke which leaves rowers vulnerable to injury.
In the boat or on the erg rowers can practise finding the correct position through good movements by performing the 'Hinge' or 'Rock-Over' exercise. Sitting at backstops and keeping arms straight, rowers hinge from the backward lean at the finish (lower back supported) to forward body position. This should be done with no attempt to move the boat or pull the erg handle, just moving lightly through the positions.
On the water this is done with feathered blades with a small amount of weight pressing down on the handles to allow the spoons to skim across the water.
On the erg, have someone place their index finger on your spine where it is level with the top of the pelvis and their thumb two or three vertebrae above this. If you hinge properly you shouldn't feel the distance between these points stretching as you hinge forward as the spine is pivoting rather than stretching. If you are reaching with your back and not your hips these points will stretch apart as the spine arches over.
In my next article I will demonstrate some strength and flexibility exercises to improve lower back support and stroke length with correct posture to avoid lower back injury and manage existing problems.
This entry was posted in Coaching, Ergo, Exercises and Drills, Masters, Sculling, Technique and tagged back, Human back, injury, lower, Poor posture, posture, rowing, Technique.
Back injuries: Pull as low as possible. In a boat drop the gates to perhaps 125mm. On the erg pull close to your legs and into your lap. Layback at the catch by swiveling above the hips. All these will reduce the load on the lower back.
Knee injuries. The angle between your feet can affect the knees.Try strapping your heels together to increase this angle.
Use rebound to start your legs opening at the catch. NO PAUSING!! Knees are weak at the catch.

Report: Cavs, Nuggets, and Pacers engaged in trade talks involving George and Love
June 26, 2017 June 26, 2017 Categories NBALeave a Comment on Report: Cavs, Nuggets, and Pacers engaged in trade talks involving George and Love
According to ESPN, leading up to last Thursday's draft, the Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Pacers engaged in talks on a three-way deal that would have sent Paul George to Cleveland, Kevin Love to Denver, and Indiana would have received players from the Nuggets. Denver's Emmanuel Mudiay, Kenneth Faried, and Wilson Chandler are all said to be available, according to the report.
The Cavs are still interested in the 27-year-old George, and will continue to pursue him, according to the report.
Also, the Cavaliers are reportedly interested in both Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, if one or both players receive buyouts.
If the Cavs can get their hands on George, obviously they will be able to contend with the Warriors. Cleveland knows that they can't bring the same team back, and expect to beat the Warriors. Whether it's Anthony, Wade, or George, expect some changes to the Cavs roster next season.
Cleveland was not the only team trying to get George. The Lakers, Rockets, Spurs, and Celtics have all reportedly tried to get their hands on George before the draft. George reportedly would like to play for the Lakers. He can opt out of his contract with the Pacers in the summer of 2018.
League sources: Cavs, Pacers and Nuggets have discussed a three-way deal that would land Paul George in Cleveland and Kevin Love in Denver

Lope de Aguirre, Hugo Chávez, and the Latin American Left
The Wrath of Liberation
Alfredo Ignacio Poggi
Lope de Aguirre, Anti-imperialism, and the Latin American Left: The Wrath of Liberation examines why anti-imperialist projects have the tendency to become tyrannies, with a focus on Latin America. Alfredo Ignacio Poggi discusses the figure of Lope de Aguirre, the first modern revolutionary leader, and his various historical representations in literature, essays, theater, film, and comics as a vehicle to interrogate the Latin American anti-imperialist imagination. Poggi argues that the experience of anger is a constituent element of Latin American anti-imperialism and that the social imaginary that emerged in the late nineteenth century – following the intellectual tradition of liberation and the continental political left – has a wrathful dimension capable of generating political programs of revenge, finding an echo in Latin American leaders like Che Guevara and Hugo Chávez. Poggi ultimately proposes to renovate liberationist thinking by offering mercy as an alternative anti-imperialist emotion that can overcome the dangers implicit in anger's radicalization as wrath. Scholars of history, Latin American studies, international relations, and political science will find this book particularly useful.

This book is original and insightful—original because it approaches the dramatic and cruel figure of Lope de Aguirre through a new lens, and insightful in identifying possibilities for redirecting the long history of anti-imperial anger in new ways. Representations of Lope de Aguirre abound in Latin American literature, in essays, novels and drama, but here he is seen from a new perspective. This well-written study connects this early colonial figure to modern political movements within a Dantesque vision, and it humanizes and makes him more complex, not just an allegory of evil. This study inspires by its imaginative tracing of emotions in Latin American history and in its impetus to find a way out of the labyrinths that continue to entangle the region.
— Gwen Kirkpatrick, Georgetown University
In his investigative expedition, Dr. Poggi delves into one of the foundational concepts that has permeated the Latin American cultural imaginary, that of "anti-imperialism," teasing apart the roots of its characters and imaginary replicated in various historical periods and lately coopted by the Marxist/Leninist "Chavismo". From an original disciplinary perspective, this book enriches the understanding of the Venezuelan and Latin American imaginary, marked by an ideology of liberating overtones, leading to a culture of learned helplessness and an external locus of exculpation.
— Jesús María Aguirre, Andrés Bello Catholic University
This book is a must-read for all those interested in Latin America. It is an excellent contribution to the understanding of the pervasive anti-imperialist sentiments in Latin America. Poggi invites the reader to reflect on the complexities of the writing of history and demonstrates how a liberation project can – and in many cases has – become another avatar of oppression. In the end, Poggi offers the reader a cautionary tale on liberation projects, reminding us all that without forgiveness and merciful attitudes, they can foment other forms of oppression and violence.

Q: Orion Context Broker, how to enable CORS? Using jQuery/AJAX, I am testing the NGSI9 registerContext operation described here.
This NGSI9 operation works with the shared orion instance on
http://orion.lab.fi-ware.eu:1026/NGSI9/registerContext
but not when I try it with my own instance of the Orion Context Broker (orion-psb-image-R3.4) .
Using my own instance, I get 405 Method not allowed, because CORS is not enabled.
How to change the Same Origin Policy on my own instance?

A: Orion Context Broker doesn't include CORS related headers in the response (it has been identified as a future working item).
Thus, if you need CORS, you can implement it with a proxy between your client and Orion, that proxy including any CORS related header that your client may need.
EDIT: since version 0.22.0, orion supports CORS for GET operations with the -corsOrigin CLI parameter. Check documentation about it.
EDIT2: full CORS support including Preflight has been implemented in Orion for all NGSIv2 requests. It is now available in the master branch or in the official docker and soon in the 1.10.0 version (to be released by early December).

Today marks drink #250 and as we've done every time we hit the half-century mark, the Sip Advisor presents to you a smattering of hilarious alcohol-fueled memes!
Some people will never be good cooks, but so long as there's beer nearby, men and women alike will never go without sustenance. There's nothing wrong with the odd liquid dinner. I'd say I go liquid only four to five times a week. I do follow that up, though, with a dessert of burgers, hot dogs, and pizza, so everything works out in the end!
Is there a better place to drink than on a patio? Well, perhaps in your underwear on your favourite couch, but patios are a close second! Mrs. Sip and I love to find a nice little spot where we can be one with the outdoors, while sharing good times with friends, family, and liquor. That's about as outdoorsy as we get, preferring all the comforts the indoors have to offer.
One day, when the world goes to hell (even more so than it already has), there will be an epic battle between the forces of good and evil. On one side, will be all us boozers. On the other side, will be the people who think so highly of themselves that they look down upon all the people that are actually enjoying life. The winners will inherit the earth and providing we're not too busy nursing a hangover, my money is on us!
I've found my short-term memory to be absolutely horrible lately. Whether that is the result of age or all the drinking I do… where was I going with this!? In all seriousness, I'm not too worried about my short term memory being unreliable. As long as I can remember all the important stuff, like my name and such, I don't necessarily see a reason for all that other junk.
This is a fantastic question Mr. Dinosaur. This is something we could debate for hours on end (and I look forward to our next conversation) but ultimately, the results are the same. Regardless of where you are, you're going to spend stupidly on things you technically don't need, but they'll be a pleasure to have while it's there!
Red Solo Cups are perhaps the greatest party tool ever invented. I never really knew that they were designed to give users an idea of measurements until I saw this meme and that makes them all the more amazing. What if you used the cup to make a layered drink of each listed alcohol and filled it to the proper line. A beer, wine, liquor combo. I'm going to have to give that a try sometime!
250 drinks is quite the milestone. Have you enjoyed the ride so far?
The shooter actually does taste like a Jelly Bean, so that was a pleasant surprise. If you don't have a Blackberry or Blackcurrant Liqueur, you can always sub Grenadine in its place. The Jelly Bean rim was a bit of a pain to put together because I wasn't able to pick up the exact Jelly Beans I had envisioned for this shot, but it came together well enough, with the assistance of Mrs. Sip!

Vision loss is a major challenge among the elderly population.[1],[2] Fortunately, a large proportion of this vision loss is avoidable.[1] With the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the world is witnessing unprecedented situation all spheres of life with eye health being no exception.[3] While everyone is affected by this pandemic, the elderly people are worse affected due to a higher risk, poor access due to limited transport, economic issues, and a sense of fear to go out and seek eye care.[4] At this juncture, "reaching out" to these people to provide care and alleviate their vision loss becomes paramount.
In response to this, we at L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) initiated a novel "Eyecare on-call – LVPEI Silver Sight" initiative to transverse economic and access barriers and reach out to the elderly in the communities and the residential care. Led by the primary eye care provider (optometrist/Mid-Level Ophthalmic Personnel/Other personnel trained for primary eye care) and a coordinator, this initiative provides home-based eye care for the elderly population and also for those with disabilities. This home-based care is an extension of primary eye care provided by the vision centers and secondary eye care centers which provide logistic support, referral services, and optical dispensing services. The home consultations are provided at no cost to the patients.
The information on the availability of these services were disseminated using social media network, telephones, and other local mass media with the contact details to book for an appointment. Upon receiving a call, the coordinator schedules the appointment to visit the household for an eye examination.
The eye examination workflow is shown in [Figure 1]. The home-based eye care includes basic undilated eye examination, refractive error and presbyopia correction, teleophthalmology for nonrefractive error causes, and referral services for cataract and other conditions. A standard consent form for electronic data privacy is signed by the patient or the parents/guardians at the time of registration. The eye examinations are carried out taking complete precautions to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 infection for the subject and the examiner.[5],[6] As part of this initiative, ready-made spectacles, ready to clip spectacles, and simple spherical prescriptions are encouraged over the custom-made spectacles while ensuring that the vision is not compromised to enable faster dispensing at a lower cost. Readymade and ready to clip glasses are preferred if the unaided distance visual acuity is worse than 6/12 but improving with correction, cylinder power not more than one dioptre, anisometropia less than one dioptre and spherical errors less than +/-3.0 dioptres in both eyes. Similarly, single vision glasses for near are dispensed if unaided distance vision is 6/12 and better in both eyes.{Figure 1}
On pilot basis, we started this service on June 13, 2020 in two vision center catchment locations. In 4 weeks, a total of 104 people were examined at their households. Mean age of these participants were 53.4 years (median: 58.5; range 13-90 years). Of this, 56.7% (n = 59) of them were women and 47.1% (n = 49) were aged 60 years and older. In terms of services, 41.3% (n = 43) were prescribed with spectacles including 8 readymade spectacles, 19.2% (n = 20) were referred to the higher centres, 15.4% (n = 16) were within normal limits and the remaining 24% (n = 25) were asked to continue the same spectacles. This experience suggested that 80.8% of services could be delivered at the doorstep and only 19.2% needed referral to higher centers. At the same time, it improved access to care, especially for women as 56.7% patients examined were women.
Though home-based eye care received impetus during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for such care is felt necessary due to the large burden of vision impairment in the elderly.[1],[2] With the increasing proportion of elderly in India, the home care for eye health will become a mainstay both in urban and rural areas in the future years. Leveraging the technology to provide teleconsultations and follow up care where required and dispensing spectacles at the doorsteps, this proposed home care can enable us to reach out many more elderly so that they continue to enjoy good vision in their "silver" years of life.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the assignment, both from a "submitter" and a "reviewer" standpoint. This exercise ended up being more difficult than I thought it would be, and kept me looking for an appropriate scene all week long, which helped to train and exercise my photographic "eye." I also experimented with several Photoshop techniques, but didn't feel that any of them really panned out.
The guidelines for the "Color" assignment were: "Color should be the primary compositional element in your image, and should be used to convey meaning, set the tone or mood of the image, or evoke an emotional response in the viewer."
I enjoyed viewing all of the submissions. Several of the entries were great examples of using a specific color to convey meaning (such as the yellow bicyclist in "Tour de France, and the orange "Fire"), while others used our minds response to certain types of colors (bold primary colors or softer pastels) or tonality (Haunted House) to set the mood of the image. Still others were more along the line of a "still life" that played with color as a compositional element. This was an excellent set of images that obviously were successful in getting people to think about color as a compositional element.
The image selected for "People's Choice" (popular vote) was "Behind the Smile." As with most great images, this image was a complex image that worked on several levels. The bright colors caught the viewer's eye, and the interesting composition held the viewers attention long enough so that they noticed the expression on the man's face. This expression and resulting "human interest" gave the image much more "depth" than a simple colorful composition.
The Editor's Choice for Artistic Merit goes to "Behind the Smile" submitted by Naomi. This is a well executed image that succeeds on several levels. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but the human interest provokes our curiosity and makes an emotional connection with the viewer.
The Editor's Choice for Technical Merit goes to "Fire" submitted by Rod. Good images of fire are very tough to record. If I go back through my image files, most of my image of fire are lacking in some way or another. I noticed from the EXIF that Rod was using a "spot" metering pattern, and so was obviously making a conscious decision on where to set the exposure. The composition is very nice as well, and successfully conveys the image of FIRE.
Honorable Mention goes to "Yellow and Blue Flowers" submitted by Tom (Kermit). This is a colorful image that succeeds on both a technical and artistic level. The yellow and blue flowers complement each other well, and the foreground and background are well balanced. In a perfect world (inside joke) the "dead space" below the yellow flowers would be filled in; however the image is still very pleasing to the eye. I would have also cropped a bit tighter on the right in order to remove the distracting "partial" flower in the upper right of the image and tightened up the composition a bit.
Thank you fellow members and Keith for choosing "Behind The Smile" as your favourite. The person I photographed was experiencing a very difficult time in his life, but dressed up as a clown at our Church Fair. I've often wondered, if a clown would always be happy or would there be a time when, even with all the make up and jokes, the true self would be revealed. So thank you once again !
It is especially rewarding when a great image has an interesting story behind it. Wonderful work. I hope we will see many more such images from you.


Dwell.com compiled a report that was published on Sept. 15 on the Revamp the Camp Project.
The article on the well-respected website that covers modern architecture and design discusses the goals of the Architecture 503 studio as well as the Parks Forward initiative. It also details the design challenge that the students were asked to take on and the importance of balancing issues of culture, sustainability, mobility and construction in their work.
Also, make sure to check out the slide show of The Wedge.


For the last few months, the windows of the former Park Bench Cafe at 3214 Folsom (on the corner with Bessie at the west end of Precita Park) have been papered-over to hide the construction taking place inside. The bold, handmade graphics on the paper say "It Will Happen" — a message that serves as both a tease for Bernal neighbors and a mantra for the woman who is spearheading the project.
My tag line is: Every neighborhood deserves great pizza.
I've always wanted a pizza restaurant in the 'hood. I've spent 20 years dreaming about it. And now I'm going to make it happen!
I want customers to walk in the door and see a kitchen at home. Red Apron Pizzeria is a place where our neighborhood will enjoy great pizza, made with great ingredients, and a place kids will enjoy. It will be warm, welcoming, and family-friendly; approachable, unfussy, and absolutely first-rate.
Yum! A preview of what'll be on the rest of the menu is right here.
Pepperoni! If you want more families, add a pepperoni pizza to the menu. We don't go to Vega anymore because they refuse to add pepperoni as an option for pizza (or at least they didn't a few years ago). My kids are not fooled w/ salami. Other than that, right on.
Question: Why wouldn't a pizzeria add pepperoni, when they do offer salami? What am I missing?
What would the small people think of a pizza with…….bacon?????
Pizza Hacker doesn't do peperoni either but the pie is so good that the kids just eat the plain pizza. We started to add prosciutto to their plain and they love it. Might not be every kid's cup of tea.
Love the name. IT WILL ABSOLUTELY HAPPEN!
What's going on at the former Bernal Produce Market on Cortland? That project seems like it's been in limbo forever.
I totally understand your frustration. Have you focused your frustration on the people in City Hall, the fire department and Sacramento? I hope you also understand that pouring money into the place with no clear end to the permit process is also not a good idea. I believe the folks before Red Apron tried to do it without permits and it met a bitter end leaving the space empty for years. Empty store fronts are the result the leadership wants right now in CA and SF. If they wanted more businesses faster they would realign resources and streamline permit processes. Ours is an all organic cafe and creamery with mobile organic food trucks from the 1930's to 1950's, some would say a good cause, but unfortunately it was ignored and made to wait by the powers that approve such things. Rather than complain and open lawsuits we just patiently waited. Eventually when we started to go to the TV stations to explain reality, things started to happen in Sacramento.
Do you know that it is a misdemeanor and a hefty fine if you even start a food truck construction process before you have been given a review of your documents first? While some people are heralded for flaunting the permit process and just doing their thing with food carts or trucks with no permit, others follow all the rules, pay the thousands in permit fees, go through the inspections and then launch. This facility serves as a commissary to our organic food truck fleet as well that is just launching at the beginning of 2016. That fleet has been over two years in production as well. Hopefully it will become a bustling food facility soon and folks will enjoy the unique trucks.. Entrepreneurs abhor inefficiencies and yet, it is required to work through these flawed processes to feed the good people of this great city. Like the wonderful people behind Red Apron, we have the feeling and resolve that It Will Happen. But there could be one last permit that we are not aware of that will break us.. At this point it is only the hiring process that will hinder us.. Finding bakers and cooks that can afford $2900 a month in rent is easy right? Where there is a will there is a way. In the meantime we will continue to work for less than minimum wage and live off of the smiles we get from those that appreciate the effort.
We are sorry that the painters ripped up the awning, it is being recovered with now cloth right before we open. At least the building looks a little better with new paint.
michael: your experience sounds like pure, distilled frustration. i sympathize and hope you make it happen.
may i ask how the fire department has hindered your progress?
Yeah it would be great if the folks at Harvest Hills would start their proposed business at the old Produce Market or give someone else a chance. Having a closed up storefront left in disrepair is a blight on our neighborhood.
Bernalwood will have an update on that too, very soon.
Well it did take forever to get the CDFA to give us a creamery license, but it has been issued. We continue to move in new equipment and have started the hiring process. Unfortunately getting a milk plant license is close to as hard as opening a nuclear power plant in California… $168 for the permit.. $88,000 in rent waiting for it.. Call it big government losing touch with reality or call it a process problem, officials finally admitted they were stuck in an infinite loop that was not our fault. We just had to keep being nice and waiting.. If you have a voice write to your state representative and ask that the process be simplified. Just like Precita Park Cafe and Red Apron, things that take weeks in Tennessee and Missouri take years here. It is our reality and there is no way to stop it.. Had we given up, it would only have started again for the next person.
Re: the rent of $88,000, is that over a 2-year period?
Excited for the addition! Bummer it is winter, cause ordering a pizza and walking across the street with a beer for picnic sounds pretty pretty pretty good.
I think I'll take my pie to go and I can wave to you from the park!
Can't wait for the opening!
Looks so awesome! Keep up the great work!
What am I missing here joining in so late. Precita Park Cafe has terrific pizza, especially their pepperoni. Im happy to have two pizza joints but can't we get something other than 3 pizza – pasta places on the block now. Hillside (fancy pasta). Precita Park Cafe (Pizza, pasta) Red Apron (Pizza). Charlies???? Might as well make it pizza!

Il Super Young Team è un gruppo di supereroi giapponesi dell'universo DC Comics. Il gruppo apparve per la prima volta sul primo numero di Final Crisis Sketchbook (maggio 2008) ed è stato creato da Grant Morrison e JG Jones.

Storia editoriale
Il concept per questo gruppo di supereroi fu di Grant Morrison, che aveva pecendemente concepito i Great Ten, e i sei vennero menzionati per la prima volta sul numero 6 della serie 52. Si ispiravano a un misto fra i supereroi americani e la cultura pop giapponese.

I supereroi fecero la loro prima apparizione al completo nel Final Crisis di Morrison, dove veniva rivelato che erano l'incarnazione del Quinto Mondo dei Forever People. Comparvero anche in Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance, scritto da Joe Casey con i disegni di ChrisCross.

Formazione

Most Excellent Superbat
Most Excellent Superbat (Heino) è il leader del gruppo. Indossa una bizzarra uniforme rossa e gialla ispirata ai costumi di Superman e Batman. Stando alle sue parole, il suo superpotere è "essere così ricco da poter fare qualsiasi cosa", ma può altresì contare su una serie di gadget tecnologicamente avanzati (uno dei quali può generare un esoscheletro di energia) e un buon addestramento nelle arti marziali. La sua base è un'isola base segreta chiamata "Most Serene Sanctuary" ("Serenissimo Santuario") e contiene un supercomputer denominato "campo dati unificato" con cui può interagire solo quando tramite meditazione riesce a sintonizzare le proprie onde cerebrali sulla frequenza delle onde theta. Come visto sul primo numero di Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance, il fantasma di un essere che si fa chiamare "Ultimon Alpha" gli era precedentemente apparso in una visione.

Alla fine della serie dimostra di essere davvero ricco come affermava quando decide di acquistare l'intero Giappone.

Big Atomic Lantern Boy
Big Atomic Lantern Boy è il secondo in comando dopo Most Excellent Superbat. Indossa un costume verde, munito di un oblò a raggi-x sul petto. L'oblò lascia intravedere il suo scheletro e gli consente di sparare raggi verdi che emettono diversi tipi di radiazioni. È invaghito di Shiny Happy Aquazon.

Crazy Shy Lolita Canary
Crazy Shy Lolita Canary è un'eroina alata che indossa la classica uniforme da studentessa giapponese. Le sue dimensioni sono così ridotte che può stare in una mano. Può emettere un urlo sonoro (sempre il solito: Sumimasen, "Mi scusi") simile a quello di Black Canary tranne per il fatto che questo suona come una potente miscela modulata di più voci.

Shiny Happy Aquazon
Shiny Happy Aquazon è la figlia di Junior Waveman (Riki Kimura) -un membro fondatore di Big Science Action e della figlia geniale di Senior Waveman Otomo. Ha la capacità di creare costrutti d'acqua solida similmente a Mera, la moglie di Aquaman. È attratta da Sonic Lightning Flash. Sul numero quattro di Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance, suo padre, che ora è Senior Waveman Kimura, la invita a unirsi ai Big Science Action.

Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash
Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash, il cui vero nome è Keigo, indossa un casco rotondo e scarpe da ginnastica giganti. È in grado di correre a più di 800 Km/h.

Sunny Sumo
Il gruppo recluta anche Sunny Sumo, un potente lottatore dotato di un efficiente fattore di guarigione. Egli è altresì immune a qualsiasi tentativo di controllo mentale. Sumo era già apparso come aiutante dei Forever People nella loro serie originale, ma era rimasto bloccato nell'antico Giappone dove aveva avviato un'esistenza pacifica. Ma -un po' incoerentemente- il Sunny Sumo che si unisce al Super Young Team è un esule del pianeta Terra-51, da cui era fuggito prima che venisse distrutto.

Equipaggiamento
Il Super Young Team ha un veicolo chiamato Wonder Wagon: un'auto in grado di volare simile al Whiz Wagon della Newsboy Legion.

What is major depressive disorder?
Depression is a common mental disorder. According to the World Health Organization, globally more than 300 million people of all ages suffer from depression. More women than men are affected. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.
What are the most common symptoms of major depressive disorder?
Depressive episodes are categorized as mild, moderate or severe. A wide range of both physical and emotional symptoms may occur such as
Difficulty making decisions
Disturbed sleep
Disturbed appetite
What happens in the brain during depression?
During depression, the circuit in the brain that controls mood is not working properly. The brain is simply not operating at full strength in the area responsible for emotion.
The impact of depression
The impact of depression can be severe and include
… a serious, chronic health condition especially when symptoms become long lasting.
…a negative impact on a person's ability to function at work and at home.
…a significant risk factor for suicide; an estimated 800.000 people die each year due to suicide.
…a major socioeconomic burden to society.
Treating depression with TMS
Although depression is associated with serious illness and mortality, it is, however, also a treatable condition. For the treatment of mild-moderate depression, antidepressant pharmacotherapy and/or psychotherapy is the most common therapy. A significant number of patients, however, do not experience benefit from antidepressant medications and/or they cannot tolerate the side effects of the medication.
Patients who fail to receive satisfactory improvement are considered as "treatment-resistant", and thus are suffering from so-called "treatment-resistant depression" (TRD). For those patients, there is another option called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS in short. TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is offered as a non-pharmacological treatment modality for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
MagVenture TMS Therapy is FDA cleared for treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.

Marine electronics like GPS chartplotters, VHF radios, and fishfinders can be finicky, but I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. The real question is, are your units working up the their full potential? Chances are, the answer is no. Use these three ways, to give yourself a serious electronic boost.
1. Hook up your VHF radio and your GPS, so you get DSC (digital selective calling) performance. Virtually all VHF's have DSC capability (the USCG made it mandatory over a decade ago) but few can actually use it. In fact, the Coast Guard says that on about 9 out of 10 boats with radios, DSC isn't active. Why? Because in order to take advantage of this feature, which beams your exact location, boat name, and description to the USCG if you make a Mayday call, the VHF has to be interfaced with your GPS. Fortunately, this is not a big deal–only two wires are involved. Unfortunately, most people have never bothered to even try hooking the systems together. It's easy; check out this DSC VHF installation article, to get step-by-step instructions on how to make it happen.
The type of transducer you have will affect performance drastically.
2. Get a better fishfinder transducer. If you're using the transducer that was sold along with your fishfinder, chances are you could get a serious performance boost with an inexpensive upgrade. Doubling the size of your transducer's element has the same effect as quadrupling the unit's output power – the difference is that significant. In fact, with a heavy-duty transducer, extremely low-grade fishfinders can see clearly through hundreds of feet of water.
3. Upgrade your chartography. It used to be that you'd buy a chartplotter, then buy a mapping chip to get the data into its brain. But these days, most manufacturers offer some level of chartography built-in. Problem is, we're often misled to believe that it's the best data available when the chances are, it isn't… by a long shot. To find out if you'd benefit by adding a separate chip, go to a store that has the same type of unit you use on display. Zoom in on a familiar area to see the level of detail, then ask the store clerk if you can try it with a Navionics, C-Map, or other chartography chip (most decent-sized stores will have them on hand). Now, compare the difference – you could be in for a big surprise.


Madeline Lanciani is the owner of Duane Park Patisserie, a trusted vendor to Manhattan Fruitier for over two decades. Madeline is a world-renowned pâtissière whose artistic vision and mastery of French technique has produced decadent and delicious treats that we proudly feature in our gifts. Gilded-chocolate cake, walnut brownies and handmade dipped-white chocolate occasion cookies are just a few of the sublime creations she makes for us.
Madeline has had a storied career in the NYC food world, being a trailblazer and pioneer from the get-go. She was the first female chef ever hired at the Plaza Hotel – one gutsy young woman in a kitchen of 99 men. After much success in the culinary world, Madeline's pioneering spirit brought her downtown to a quiet, industrial side street in what was then an unpolished Tribeca to raise her family and start a new career in the pastry world. Her business, Duane Park Patisserie, has flourished over the years and she is now considered among the finest pastry chefs in the country. While she has had many opportunities to expand beyond Tribeca, she has instead chosen to focus on perfecting her craft in her space on Duane Street. She is a vital part of Tribeca and NYC, nurturing her dedicated staff, clientele and neighbors with her astonishing desserts every day.
We at Manhattan Fruitier value our long time relationship with Madeline and the mountains of exquisite desserts that have graced our gifts for so many years. We thought it was about time to get to know her better and introduce her to our Manhattan Fruitier community.
Last week, Madeline graciously opened her door to us and invited us in for a behind the scenes tour of her busy, bustling patisserie while she shared her thoughts on her history and business.

How many pastries, desserts and treats do you make on any given day?
Today we are doing about 3000. That is a pretty typical day in October with lots of Autumn events on the calendar.
Do you bake any bread?
No, we are a pastry shop. A patisserie. In France, and in a lot of places in Europe, you get your pastry in a patisserie and your bread in a boulangerie. The only "bread" we bake are croissants for the morning. Most patisseries offer croissants and other small breakfast items they really consider breakfast pastries–not breads.
What do you see as the next trend in pastry?
Something that hasn't peaked yet: the continued popularity of shops where everything is specialized. It started a while ago with donut shops. And that's caught on across the country but all the other little specialty shops – just cookies, just wedding cakes, just cupcakes, just cronuts, its spreading all throughout the United States. I think a lot of customers have the erroneous perception that if you go to a shop that just does one thing they're going to do it better than one that has a variety of offerings. They're going to think that 'oh, they only do that one thing; they must be experts at it.' Which is not necessarily the case.
In fact, I think you can run the risk of having your quality slip because of the monotony. I get why they do it – hoping their one product will catch on and can be franchised for lots of money. You don't get rich having one bakery… So what's the next trend? Americans are really into food fads. I don't know, last year people thought it was cake pops, but that actually has fizzled out, because when people started to make them they realized that they are so labor intensive! They're cute as can be but what can you sell them for when you have to spend five hours on twelve cake pops?!
Finishing touches on a birthday cake for the V.P. of a top catering company.
I think we're a very unique place. In this age of specialty shops, we have, for almost 25 years, just stuck to a little of everything. A real "old-fashioned pastry shop" where we keep the ideas fresh, where you'll find some cakes, some cookies, some tarts, and custom desserts, often reflecting the current season or holiday. We make everything to order. We don't have an inventory of refrigerated or shelf items, preferring to bake fresh for our clients.
Everything is made fresh daily?
Yes. Whether it's one person ordering for a dinner party or an event for 3000 people.
What is the dessert you like making the most?
The one I'm working on at the moment! I know that sounds stupid but it's true. I'm into the thing at the moment. Although there are certain things more fun to work on than others.
When you get home at night what do you make for yourself and your family?
I came from immigrant parents and we always had dinner together. It was the rule of the house. You were home for dinner. Period. We didn't know it at the time but it was kind of cool. So I adopted the same rules and regs for my kids too. When they were little, what I cooked was anything I could get on the table in twenty minutes—usually some kind of pasta or rice with something from the fridge. If I could make it in twenty minutes, that was that. Nowadays my daughter lives in California and my son works for a P.R. firm that keeps him busy with events at night. So I leave stuff in the refrigerator for him to eat when he can. This extra time has allowed me to be more adventurous in my cooking. It's very satisfying. It's a very zen-y thing for me to do.

What's a great day for Duane Park Patisserie?
One of the greatest days of the year is the annual springtime event "Taste of Tribeca." It's a fundraising event we started 18 years ago with all the chefs, food people and the parents of our only school at the time. The proceeds went to the PTA of our school PS 234, so that we could pay for a part-time art teacher and a part-time gym teacher as those aren't paid for by the city. It's turned into such a big event. It's in May and the sun is usually shining, and the doors are open, and everyone is happy because they're eating food.
You've been working and living here in Tribeca for many years. How has your clientele and neighborhood changed?

We hear you do a lot for Halloween.
Oh, my God, Halloween. It's coming…Sometimes we take the little ends we cut off Manhattan Fruitier's brownies and wrap those in cellophane and give those to our Trick-or-Treaters. It's gotten so big now though. Tribeca is such a family-oriented community. On Halloween all the stores and restaurants give away treats. Everyone gets dressed up—even the parents, and stores and restaurants give treats like it's an old-fashioned town.

Last year was cancelled because of Hurricane Sandy, but the year before that, we gave 3,000 away and then unfortunately we had to close the door.
Which do you prefer more, the retail or the wholesale side of your business?
I have both on purpose. Retail, and this location, is challenging, but having the wholesale helps me maintain the retail. I stay with the retail for several reasons – It's my way to connect with the neighborhood. Back in the old days no retail stores were allowed on side streets in Tribeca because of zoning. You could only have a retail space if you were a manufacturer. My retail patisserie actually grew out of the overages and the cancelled orders of my wholesale clients. Neighbors would come by to see what we had to sell. I had one table and an old cash register and that's how my retail started.

It allows for your brand to be visible.
That's exactly right. It's very good for visibility and marketing and it still is a place to sell the overages of the cancelled orders and it prevents me from getting bored. Some of our wholesale clients are caterers so we do get varied menus a lot. But the volume work can get a little monotonous. The retail with individual orders, specialty cakes, cookies and desserts are the kind of stuff that satisfies my creative juices.
Like these two projects I'm working on now.
One of the many custom cookie designs Lanciani creates.
The other will be a bumblebee cake.

We have also launched a new petits fours project called Message in a Box. It sounds like what it is: 15 petits fours spelling out a greeting. We have a lot of ideas to come but we have several posted on our website.
Here is our custom box of petits fours from Duane Park Patisserie.
What would you tell someone who is interested in opening a bakery or a patisserie?
Why? What's your goal? Is your goal to make money? Is your goal to develop a product and business model that will end up making you money? Or is your goal to satisfy your love and your need to bake and create? Think about that first. Then you can figure out which way to go. Either way, you have to be able to work for very long hours, and very physical work, with not much money, at least at the beginning.

You were the first female chef to be hired at the Plaza Hotel. What was that like?
Ha. I don't think you have enough battery left on your phone for that question. I'll tell you it was one of the best experiences a person could ever have. I was there for two and a half years. I had some fabulous teachers. They paid me to learn. And I couldn't have had a better education. My degree was in music. I was a singer and I couldn't afford to enroll in the Culinary Institute so I was fortunate to have that experience.
But it was very, very difficult in the beginning. I had to work for no pay for four months before they hired me because they had to be sure that I wasn't going to upset the kitchen. And when I got there it was 99 men and me, and I weighed 15 pounds less than I weigh now. And some of the men embraced me fabulously. Some of the men were indifferent and some were really threatened and awful and they did things to me that they would be in jail for today. Hazing is not even the right word. Criminal. But I didn't open my mouth. Not because I was afraid to be fired. It was a different world. It was a tough world. Especially cooking in the kitchen. And you needed to be able to survive. It was kind of like being in the army. If you can't survive boot camp you're not going to live on the field. You'll get killed. So I treated my training there, part of my training there, especially the adversarial part, as boot camp. And I never cried — I never let them see me cry.
Who's had the biggest impact on your professional career?
Obviously my parents. But I do have an anecdote about a person who had the biggest impact on my professional life, the actor and director Joel Grey.
Before I started my career in pastry I was a professional singer and I got a job as a Kit Kat girl in Cabaret that he was starring and directing in. We had a costume check a few minutes before curtain so we all lined up. I had fishnet stockings on and there was a tiny rip so two holes had become one. Well, Mr. Grey noticed. He said "go see the wardrobe mistress; you can't go out like that! Everybody pays good money to come and see this show and they don't deserve shabby costumes." I was a nobody, a chorus person.
My take away from that is: everybody deserves every part of their experience to be absolutely correct and the best. And I have lived by that. Nothing goes out of here unless it is exactly right. The person buying one cookie, even if it's tiny and costs 50 cents deserves it to be the best 50 cent cookie we produce.
A steady hand and excellent handwriting is a must for Madeline's team who work on our occasion cookies.
Any funny Duane Park Patisserie stories you can share?
Oh so many. There was the one day this couple came in from London and were so fascinated by our scones. They came in the morning and the woman thought they were the best scones she had ever eaten so she brought her husband back. He thought so too and they ended up coming back four times that day and eating scones.
And the time we made 10,000 cupcakes for Columbia University. We had baked all night for this event. We rented a special truck with racks and loaded them in the truck and away we went but the straps didn't hold the racks and they all toppled down like dominoes. The cupcakes were ruined. We had six hours left until the event so we drove back to the bakery and started over. We had no time to frost them so we set up a frosting station at the event and did them to order. Everyone thought it was so clever and novel. At the time we didn't think this would be a funny story at all but I can now look back and laugh!
Growing a business and raising a family are each challenging enough on their own. How did you manage doing both at the same time?
It's all a matter of constant compromise. Re-balancing, re-assessing, re-working. There is no magic formula as far as I have experienced. A parent doesn't get any "do-overs." I decided that raising my children was my primary job. My secondary job, a.k.a. my career, was absolutely necessary for survival since for most of my kids' lives I was a single mom. I needed to keep growing my business in order to provide for me and my children, but at the same time I had to control that growth and opportunities that came my way so I could keep my job as mom in balance with my job as baker/pastry chef. Some decisions were difficult: turning down orders and opportunities is generally not a good business plan, but I did just that if I felt the end result impacted my parental duties.
I had much anxiety about every decision. My old friend, Mario Batali, told me 15 years ago to hire a PR person to promote my business. I knew that building myself into a brand was going to mean building another business. I decided that I had no time for a third enterprise. Maybe this was a mistake, but the fact that I was able to go to almost ALL of my kids soccer, basketball, baseball and lacrosse games, plays, recitals, teacher conferences, etc. and be home for them to cook and eat together was in the long run more important to me and them than developing myself into a celebrity chef. Do I have regrets? As the song goes "…a few, but then again, too few to mention." I am most proud of my #1 products, who are now 24 and 27.
Madeline was the winning competitor on a thrilling episode of The Food Network's cooking competition show, Chopped.
Speaking of being a celebrity chef, we were so excited for you when you took home the big prize on Chopped a few months ago. Tell us about that experience.
I've been in pastry for years but love to cook. My dream job to this day is to cook on the line. It's not feasible when you have a business and one of the reasons why there are so few working female chefs. Night-time work is not good if you want to raise a family. So, I took on Chopped to see if I could still do it. It was challenging, but I've always been a competitive person. My mother would enter us into coloring contests when we were little. Damn it, I was gonna win and I did win! Coloring contests, essay writing contests, whatever.
What advice do you have for a young chef just starting out?
Be prepared to work harder than you ever, ever imagined.

Work begins on site in Mold
Following our report back in April that local contractor RL Davies of Colwyn Bay had been awarded the construction contract, building work has started on the new and eagerly awaited Primary Care Centre in Mold. The new facility, which will house two GP surgeries and staff from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), will provide services for more than 8,000 patients.
Geoff Lang, Director of Primary Care for BCUHB, said:
"We are delighted that patients in Mold will soon be benefiting from greatly improved facilities. And we hope the two practices coming together in a single building will open up opportunities to develop new services in the future that might not have been feasible for one individual surgery."
Apollo"s Development Director, Richard Drew, said:
"This new and long-awaited facility will provide excellent accommodation where the doctors and other practice staff can deliver services to benefit their patients from Mold and the surrounding areas."
Health chiefs have said that the centre will have the capacity to take on up to 3,500 patients over the following five years.
The new centre will be completed in the Spring of next year.

Q: Finding a primary decomposition Let $k$ be a field, and $R=k[x,y]$.
I'm supposed to find two different minimal primary decompositions of the ideal $(x^2y, y^2x)$.
It's easy to see that one minimal primary decomposition is $(x)\cap(y)\cap(x^2, y^2)$.
My question: What's the second minimal primary decomposition of the above ideal?
EDIT: I've now added the minimality requirement to the question.

A: Since you suggest this is homework, I'll put this in the form of hints:
(1) Remember that the set of associated primes for a primary decomposition is unique. So you are looking for $\mathfrak{p} \cap \mathfrak{q} \cap \mathfrak{r}$ where $\sqrt{\mathfrak{p}} = (x)$, $\sqrt{\mathfrak{p}} = (y)$ and $\sqrt{\mathfrak{r}} = (x,y)$.
(2) Show that $\mathfrak{p}$ and $\mathfrak{q}$ must be $(x)$ and $(y)$. So the place where you have room to play is in choosing $\mathfrak{r}$.
At this point, I have trouble giving good general hints. The next two, which are far more helpful, will be put in ROT13.
(3) Lbh jvyy abg or noyr gb fbyir guvf ceboyrz vs lbh fgvpx gb vqrnyf trarengrq ol zbabzvnyf.
(4) Gur rknzcyr V sbhaq jnf nyfb trarengrq va qrterr gjb.

A: I'm a bit late with this but even so:
$$ \begin{align} (x^2 y, y^2 x) &= (x^2 y - y^2 x, y^2 x) \\
 &= (xy(x-y), y^2 x) \\
 &= (y) \cap (x(x-y), y^2x) \\
 &= (y) \cap (x) \cap (x-y, y^2)
\end{align}$$
It remains to be shown that $(x-y, y^2)$ is primary:
Let $r(I)$ denote the radical of $I$. Then $r((x-y, y^2)) = (x-y, y) = (x,y)$. To see that $(x,y)$ is maximal note that $k[x,y]/(x,y) \cong k$ is a field. We know that if $r(I)$ is maximal then $I$ is primary so we're done.

Rather Than Net Zero, Oil Firms More Intent On Stockholders
The celebrations in the oil industry are 2008-style. Economies face the possibility of deep recessions, similar to the worldwide financial crisis of that year, while oil companies are making record profits. With its strongest quarter since record profits in 2008, right before the financial system imploded, BP became the latest in a long line of companies to report stellar results on August 2nd.
This time, as consumers in the UK and elsewhere deal with exorbitant energy costs and a broader cost of living problem, the oil and gas industry's finances have profited from higher prices brought on by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Although there have been proposals for windfall taxes both then and now, certain things have shifted. The climate emergency has gained prominence and become a legal requirement. Due to this, oil firms are now forced to invest in net zero-compatible projects like renewable energy that have been previously laughed out of a supermajor's boardroom. Even the US behemoths, ExxonMobil and Chevron, laggards in a field of laggards, have been compelled to reluctantly acknowledge the need for some sort of low-carbon technology.
Bernard Looney, the CEO of BP, is a skilled talker. In his latest remarks to analysts, he repeatedly emphasised BP's investments in lower-carbon technologies. They can be spectacular on their own—BP is a pioneer in UK electric car charging, for example—but a fast glance at oil corporation investments yields less enviable results.
Alok Sharma, a member of the UK cabinet (albeit a lame-duck one), compared BP's planned $2.5 billion investment in low-carbon energy with its $3.5 billion (£2.9 billion) share buybacks in only this quarter. He argued that they ought to be able to assess whether their deeds correspond to their words.
In the first half of 2022, BP, its FTSE 100 competitor Shell, the US firms ExxonMobil and Chevron, as well as France's Total, jointly generated underlying profits of close to $100 billion, more than double those of the corresponding time in 2021. Over half of their profits for the first half of the year have already been reported by the same corporations as shareholder payouts (through dividends and share buybacks) totaling $52 billion for this year. The general public may benefit when money is returned to shareholders, since depositors and pension funds stand to gain significantly. However, the wealthiest people own the majority of the shares, and a steady supply of dividends will do very little to ease the burden of rising energy costs on poorer households in the UK or elsewhere.
Global politics will continue to prioritise lowering energy prices. When the Conservative party selects between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak as its future prime minister, the issue will certainly be at the top of their to-do list. According to the most recent projections, the median energy bill in Great Britain could exceed £3,600 per year this winter.
Ben van Beurden, the CEO of Shell, stated last week that he cannot do miracles to increase new energy supply and cut family expenses. However, the history of renewable energy techniques reveals that miracles are not required; all that is needed is the willingness to engage in a quicker transition, as evidenced by the remarkable surge in wind and solar power as costs decreased.
When finance directors are unable to increase their own profits through fresh investments, they are instructed to return funds to shareholders. The rate of dividends and buybacks during 2022 implies that oil companies are happy to give investors more money rather than spend more to hasten the transition to net zero.

MASTER MARBLE CO. / MASTER GLASS CO. (1930-1973)
The Master Marble Company formed in 1930 following the departure of several key employees from Akro Agate. These former employees, John F. Early, Claude C. Grimmett, John E. Moulton, and (later) Clinton F. Israel, set up their fledgling company in Anmoore, West Virginia, and began producing marbles almost immediately, perhaps first from an Akro Agate machine modified by Early and then from one designed by Early.
In their first year of business, Master Marble received an offer by Akro Agate to buy them out. However, they refused, setting off a price war initiated by the latter company. Akro even went so far as to send an employee onto the company grounds to spy; this person was caught and eventually jailed. Frustrated, Akro Agate tried the legal route to destroy Master Marble through litigation, as they believed their competitor's owners (former Akro employees) had infringed on Akro's patents. This law suit endured from 1933-1937, terminating in Master's favor.
Master Marble Company gained prominence when, in 1933, they exhibited millions of marbles at the Chicago World's Fair. A collector's "College Edition" box was produced for the event. These boxes, which were available in several sizes, are now exceedingly rare and valuable.
By 1936 both Grimmett and Moulton left the company, followed soon by Early. This perhaps precipitated the closing of the company in 1941. The equipment and supplies were purchased by the sole remaining founder, Clinton Israel, who re-established a marble company in Bridgeport, West Virginia, as Master Glass. The Master Glass Company produced marbles that were similar to Master Marble Company marbles, as the same machines were used, and also sold Akro Agate marbles and jobbered its own marbles in Akro boxes following the closing of that company in 1951. Production continued until 1973, when the company closed its doors for good. Israel died two years later.
All marbles produced by Master Marble and Master Glass utilized the same type of machinery which was similar to that used by Akro Agate but which never involved the "Freese improvement" that eliminated the cutoff marks at the poles by offsetting the rollers. Therefore, all Master marbles, even the clearies and opaques, possess tiny crimp marks and feathering at either pole. These crimps will occur in conjunction with the seams, which usually form a "V" or "U" shape. Generally, the "U"-shaped seams apparently occur on older examples (Master Marble) while the "V"-shaped seams are associated more with later ones (Master Glass).
An additional method, and perhaps a more reliable one, to differentiate between Master Marble and Master Glass marbles is that generally brighter colors were employed on the former, while duller colors were used on the latter. This trait is seem on most American machine made marbles, which switched to cheaper, and therefore less vibrant, glass during the 1930s.
In terms of size, Master Marbles were almost exclusively limited to the 9/16"-25/32" range. While some smaller specimens have been reported, very few larger ones exist.
Master Marble box sets began to appear in many different varieties in 1933. This includes a set of boxes exclusively for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, at which the company had an exhibit. These boxes were made in three different sizes, each featuring a panoramic aerial view of the fair on the inside cover and a simpler picture of the fair in red print, along with the company name and "Century of Progress Chicago 1933" on an outside slip cover. A special 'College Edition' was also made with a red felt top and the image of the fair inside the cover. Other quite rare boxes made for the World's Fair, contained a single hand ground agate and one that contained two hand ground agates. The single box comes in two styles, one for 1933 and one for 1934. The dates are printed on the covers. A red mesh bag with a large paper header with the picture of the 1933 Worlds fair and labeled Century of Progress was also sold. Inside the bag of marbles was Master Marble House postcard.
Other early boxes by Master Marble include retailer stock and display boxes containing 100 specimens of a single type of marble, colorful gift set boxes (often with "Sunbeams," rainbow-colored rays radiating from the circular company logo), stenciled game marble boxes, and game marble boxes containing smaller cellophane-covered boxes (three or five) with single colored opaque marbles.
Another type of "Sunbeam" box was the No. 13 box containing thirteen marbles. These oblong boxes were made by both Master Marble and later by Master Glass, though the former are more rare. They contained oval cut-outs to allow the marbles inside to be viewed, and the backsides of the boxes often contain advertising for such companies as "Popsicle" or for people running for local and political offices.
Master Glass also commonly distributed its marbles in the No. 5 box, which was blue and red with ten oval cutouts on the front, along with the company logo. These are reported to have been recently reproduced, though the originals are fairly common and therefore inexpensive. The No. 10 box is much more scarce and is essentially the same as the No. 5 box, but twice the size and with 20 oval cutouts. The No. 10 boxes usually have the rules for the game of "Ringer" printed on the rear.
The final type of original packaging is the polyvinyl bag, which was made by Master Glass but not by its predecessor. These bags differ from those of other companies in that they do not possess the rear vertical seam but rather were heat sealed along the top. The headers consist of thin peach-colored paper situated inside the package, not outside, and the heat-seal lies approximately through the center of the header. The marbles in these packages are typically Catseyes and Clearies.

Tennis365's Legends of Roland Garros #2: Bjorn Borg
The great Bjorn Borg is the latest to feature in our "Legends of Roland Garros" series.
Bjorn Borg was equal parts tennis and rock 'n roll. When tennis boomed in the 1970s, the ice-cold golden locked Swede was its Beatles.
That's not to say that he wasn't a polarizing figure. His brand of cool, almost robotic temperament was not for everyone, especially when juxtaposed with the fiery passion of his greatest rival, John McEnroe.
And yet, despite his icy demeanour, there is a case to be made for an assertion that no star in the history of tennis – and sport – burned as brightly and as briefly as did Borg.
He won 11 Grand Slams, all of them in Europe, in just seven short years before sensationally retiring at the age of just 26.
Part of Borg's amazing appeal was how unorthodox he was. His strokes, in truth, lacked aesthetic style but his footwork was unprecedentedly brilliant.
He was a trendsetter too, and in far more ways than his swashbuckling appearance.
His western grip was rare, his topspin forehand was explosive, and his two-handed backhand brilliant. It's said that the Swede took topspin play and turned it into an art form.
Some say Borg's legacy is tarnished by his failure to win the Australian and US Opens, but his impact on the game has simply surpassed the usual standards by which players are judged.
Record at Roland Garros
If anything, Borg is probably more associated with Wimbledon than Roland Garros, but that's perhaps unfair.
His five successive wins and overall win percentage at the All England Club are incredible, but so was his prowess on the dirt of Paris.
He won the French Open six times – three of them without dropping a single set. Simply incredible.
Stand-out moment
Such was Borg's seemingly effortless dominance at Roland Garros, it's almost hard to find one magical stand-out moment.
However, it is testament to his legacy that his first win is almost forgotten.
Borg always looked destined for greatness, but in 1974 he became the youngest player-ever to win a Grand Slam.
There was nothing effortless about it, either. Far from it.
Up against tough veteran Manual Orantes, Borg struggled badly early on.
He lost the first set and then dropped the second on a tiebreak. It was a test of character rather than quality.
Borg, though, displayed that ice-cool steel and found that special something that only the true greats can.
He lost just two games in the remaining three sets and the legend was born.
In quotes
"He had this thing about him that was inexplicable. I don't know what it is, why it is, but is it. Certain people have this incredible aura that I can't explain without having to do anything. It's like he got into his superman outfit. I did try in practice just for the hell of it, to be like that, but I couldn't do it in practice, so I wasn't going to waste my time in a match trying to be like he was. I felt like letting things out was healthier than keeping things in." – John McEnroe
"They didn't really know what I was thinking or how I was feeling, if I am laughing or crying or disappointed or happy, they don't know that because I kept it all to myself. That didn't mean I wasn't boiling inside, but I would never let anyone see that." – Bjorn Borg
"I think Björn could have won the US Open. I think he could have won the Grand Slam. But by the time he left, the historical challenge didn't mean anything. He was bigger than the game. He was like Elvis or Liz Taylor or somebody." – Arthur Ashe
