Remembering Novotna (Born : 2nd Oct 1968 - Died : 19th Nov 2017)
I would like to dedicate this blog to a great sportsperson – Jana Novotna
Wimbledon champion, Jana Novotna was a true winner but it was the misfortune of the brilliant Czech, who died on 19th Nov, 2017 aged 49, to always be recalled for one of sport's most famous and heart-rendering meltdown despite her collection of 100 tennis titles.
After Novotna's death, following a long fight with cancer, Wimbledon, the tournament where she really made her name in both defeat and victory, paid tribute to her as a "True Champion" in all senses of the world.
She was victorious as singles champion in 1998, it was five years earlier, that she really captured the sympathy of the world of sports when losing the Wimbledon Final to Steffi Graf.
Her defeat is still considered one of sport's greatest meltdowns, as Novotna was a point away from taking a 5-1 lead in the 3rd set only to serve a double fault.
She had become a laughing stock when she lost again to Martina Hingis four years later in the same final.
She finally proved everyone wrong when a year later, she lifted the 1998 Wimbledon crown with practically everyone on the court cheering for her, as she beat French woman Natalie Tauziat in straight sets.
This was a story of a great woman who never gave up, come what may, even though people criticized her, she did not lose hope and kept working hard and finally emerged as a winner.
The sports world looks up to her as a great player whom everyone would look up to.
"No one will fight the day it came right for Jana Novotna at Wimbledon."

A polo shirt is a shirt you can depend on in any situation so much so that is back on the fashion scene. Previously made famous by Polo players hence the name, it is popular regardless of age and genre. A Polo shirt is much more dressed up which differentiates it from the normal Tee-shirt and is currently dominated by bright shades. It is also most favoured because of the collar which you can pop up or leave down.

Two new volumes from Lodestar Books – just in time for Christmas!
++++ Check the bargain at the bottom of this post! ++++
East Coast cruising sailor Richard Wynne's wonderful Lodestar Books has two smashing books coming out in the first week of December – just in time for Christmas!
Both titles are published at £12, including UK delivery—slightly more to other countries.
Sea-Boats, Oars and Sails is Conor O'Brien's guide to sail-and-oar cruising. The new new edition is illustrated with South-West Ireland cruising sailor Tim Cooke's photos of his small lugger An Suire (The Sea-Nymph).
An Suire is built to François Vivier's Ilur design, which is said to epitomise the characteristics recommended by O'Brien.
Popular author, Marine Quarterly editor and Conor O'Brien enthusiast Sam Llewellyn has chipped in with a splendid foreword. However, I'd like to quote Conor O'Brien's own description of his book:
'Most of what is written about boats is naturally based on the orthodox view, and the man who wants a boat neither for class racing nor as a harbour ornament, but to go to sea in, gets little guidance from it. This book of mine is frankly unorthodox, in that I hold nothing sacred and take nothing for granted.'
Sail and Oar presents 100 historically and technically accurate drawings of the Yorkshire sea fishery in the late nineteenth century by the artist Ernest Dade.
Dade was a sailor and worked out of doors most of the time, so his drawings from the era before steam are both immediate and authoritative.
The book comes with a preface by author Peter F Anson and foreword by fisherman Frank Wheeler. Writing in the 1930s, Anson has this to say:
'No maritime library will be complete without a copy of this volume on its shelves, for the Yorkshire fishing coble and the Yorkshire smack of the past century were among the finest examples of English sea-going craft ever devised, and none more fitted for the rugged coast to which they belonged or for the stormy seas on which they used to sail.'
While in the same decade Wheeler makes the following remarks:
'Not only do the sketches portray the boats and their gear accurately and in great detail, but they also show the fishermen at their work both offshore and inshore from most of the fishing centres of the Yorkshire coast. The facility of Dade's pen work can only be admired and most certainly enjoyed.
'These pictures show all this and are true in every way. Mr. Ernest Dade lived the life, knew the men, and sailed in the various craft he draws so well. It is a record of things passed away.
PS – Those looking for a pre-Christmas bargain might like to snap up a copy of Francis B Cooke's Cruising Hints, which is now available at a good discount from Lodestar – for customers in the UK the hardback is down from £35 to £20 and the paperback from £20 to £12, for other countries the price is a little higher to take account of mailing costs.

Humber sloop Spider T to sail to Arbroath
Humber sloop Spider T is off on an amazing two week trip to Arbroath this summer to appear in the Seafest 2011, which takes place on the weekend of 13th and 14th August.
On the way the plan is to call at Montrose and several other ports en route as she heads along the coasts of North Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland.
In her current restored condition, Spider T has previously travelled to Rotterdam and to Scarborough.
She was built at New Holland on the River Humber in 1926, and originally carried bricks and other cargoes up and down the coast and along the inland river and canal networks, and was saved from the scrapyard in the 1990s by motor engineer and car restorer Mal Nicholson of Burringham, near Scunthorpe.
She has been gradually restored to her former glory, including a sailing rig, and is now part of the National Historic Fleet, an honour that recognises Spider T's historic importance alongside the Mary Rose and the Balmoral. She was also runner-up in the National Historic Ships organisation's Fly the Flag competition this year.
Owner Mal is currently seeking ports and tourist centres interested in hosting the vessel for a night on the journey – the unusual sight of a historic Humber sloop will provide an interesting spectacle for visitors and enthusiasts, and is also hoping to attract contributions to the fuel costs of the journey, though much of the voyage will be undertaken under sail.
The Spider T will also feature at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Humber Keel and Sloop Preservation Society being staged at South Ferriby on the weekend of Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24, with five historic craft available for viewing from 10am to 5pm and some sailings for members with displays of paintings, photos, videos and live presentations.
Further details on the vessel are available on the Spider T website and contact re the voyage can be made through Mal Nicholson on 07739863604 m.nicholson4@sky.com.
PS – The northward journey could of course be affected by the weather, but at present the aim is to stop at the following ports on the way up to Arbroath:
Saturday, 30th July: Keadby to Grimsby (arrive GY around 6pm)
Sunday, 31st July: Grimsby to Scarborough (arrive Scarborough 7pm to 8pm)
Monday, 1st August: Scarborough to Hartlepool (arrive
Tuesday, 2nd August: Stay in Hartlepool, available for viewing (to be arranged)
Wednesday, 3nd August: Hartlepool to Blyth
Thursday, 4th August: Blyth to Eyemouth
Friday, 5th August: Eyemouth to Anstruther
Saturday, 6th August: Stay in Anstruther
Sunday, 7th August: Anstruther to Montrose.
Monday, 8th August; Stay in Montrose.
Tuesday, 9th August: Montrose to Stonehaven? Depends on swell
Wednesday, 10th August: Stonehaven? To Arbroath
Thursday, 11-14th August: Arbroath
Monday, 15th August: Arbroath (or possibly North Berwick)
PPS – Seafest this year will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the building of the Bell Rock Lighthouse. Built by Robert Stevenson, it is the world's oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse. The engraving below appears in a biography written by Stevenson's son, and is from a drawing by a Miss Stevenson – which I guess might have been Stevenson's daughter or granddaughter.

359th article
Pudding club: Michael Winner with Donata and her pear-and-almond tart (Miss Lid the Third)
I've been having a bit of trouble with cook-housekeepers. For many years I had Mrs Hickey as cook and Mrs Bawden as maid. "You'll realise how good I was when I go," Mrs Hickey used to lilt in her Irish voice. Boy, was she right. Her roast duck was immaculate. Her hot chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce and whipped cream had Sophia Loren and Marlon Brando in ecstasy. Her large meringue cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit was historic-plus.
Mrs Bawden, a tiny Welsh lady, would come over indignantly when I increased her pay. "I've done nothing to deserve it," she'd say. "I don't know why you give it to me."
After Mrs Hickey, some stayed, some went. One Scots lady kept her own area of luxurious accommodation so dirty, we ended up telling her that either she paid one of the maids to clean it, or she had to go. She was the only housekeeper in London paying maids to do her personal cleaning.
Ping was lovely. We got her from The Lady magazine. She was a superb Thai cook, but insisted on trying European recipes from a book. Whenever I saw her looking at the text, I thought: "Oh dear." She left after a year to return to her own house and her Siamese cats. Lily stayed quite a long time, then left to have a baby in the house she bought on my magnificent pay.
We advertised like mad, in The Lady, The Times, The Daily Telegraph. Most applicants from The Lady seemed to start: "I'm currently a legal secretary, but I ran my own home and need a change." My ads appeared so often that The Express diary ran stories on how impossible I must be because nobody stayed. I thought one housekeeper was very good. Then Mrs Lagoudakos, my chief receptionist, said: "She's screaming at us all. She accused Maria of being a spy. Then she shouted at me for 10 minutes." I told Serena le Maistre, the very posh Belgravia agency chief who provided her. "She mustn't scream at the staff," said Serena. "That's your job." Very funny. Even funnier when I ended up paying a £1,700 agency fee for a 12-week housekeeper. Mrs Chamberlayne of London Couples was sympathetic. "I can't find anyone myself," she said. And she runs a very good agency.
In the meantime, I was not suffering. Dear Marco Pierre White arranged for a chef from the then three-Michelin-star Oak Room to come every day at lunch. Prepared by Marco's protege Robert Reid, we'd have grilled veal fillet and roast sweetbread deglazed in balsamic vinegar one day; venison with chocolate and cinnamon, with roast butternut puree, brussel sprouts, celery fondant the next; and sometimes cod with prawns and Alsace bacon, brandade and roast peppers Andalusian. Mr Fraser, my able assistant, would say, "Very tasty this," then keep eating. Mr Reid is shortly to introduce his own menu at The Oak Room at cheaper prices. When it comes, go get it.
One housekeeper came from a long stint with a very famous royal princess. On her first day I came for a modest dinner at 7pm in the kitchen. She produced from a closed hotplate - an omelette. "How long has that been in the hotplate?" I asked, seeing the edges curling. "About five minutes," was the reply. She didn't last.
I had applicants trying to get away from Ted Heath, Princess Michael, and endless television stars. Then the solution came in a flash. The Jews! No respectable Jewish household would put up with leathery omelettes from the hotplate. Who did I know in Golders Green? Only Sir Harry and Lady Solomon. I called Judith. "Where do you get your staff from?" I asked. She recommended Diana Graham in St John's Wood. Much lower commission charges than the Belgravia bunch.
Diana lost interest after I refused to see her Italian chef because he was 20 minutes late. Then a fetching photograph of me and my PA, Margaret, appeared on the cover of the Creme de la Creme section of The Times. Diana sent in Donata. Donata smiled a lot. She was a Filipino. I liked her. She's been cooking away for many weeks now. A triumph! Her beef wellington is superb, her turbot with hollandaise sauce excellent, her roast chicken stuffing and bread sauce remarkable. But it's her pear-and-almond tart that has bowled me over. This is a cataclysmic taste experience. "Get the camera!" I called excitedly to Miss Lid the Third. "This must be recorded for posterity." So here we are. Donata, me and the tart at my dining table. The search is over. The Express diary will just have to find something else to write about.
The multilingual "Please do not smoke" signs at De Snippe (Style, May 14) are rendered utterly pointless by the presence of ashtrays on the tables. When will restaurant owners realise that the time and effort taken by a good chef is negated by tobacco smoke? If this is self- inflicted, the customers only have themselves to blame; but if it is forced upon innocent eaters by inconsiderate neighbours, then surely a serious complaint is warranted. I doubt that anyone would suffer someone talking though an opera or West End play. Why, then, should we allow the inconsiderate behaviour of others to detract from our enjoyment of an expensive meal?
Stephen Power, Limerick, Eire
Michael Winner's report on Den Gouden Harynck in Bruges (Style, May 14) came out two days after our visit, so we did not know at the time that it had Michelin status, nor that he was about either to bless or blight its future. The owner, Philippe Serruys, came out of the kitchen late in the evening to tour the tables and, finding that we were English, proceeded to describe his Winner experience. He felt that the outcome should not be too bad since Winner had phoned earlier that week to advise that he would be able to double his prices after Sunday. The report was spot-on: the service was indeed attentive, the pace of dinner was excellent, and our various courses were "historic", particularly the crab millefeuille and the langoustine starters. Driving in Bruges is a nightmare: it took 40 minutes of one-way and wrong-way streets to get to our hotel. Nevertheless, we look forward to a return visit - particularly to Den Gouden Harynck.
Michael and Barbara Durham, and Christine Pyne, by e-mail
My wife and I recently had supper at Rudland & Stubbs, a fish restaurant in Smithfield, east London. When the bill came, it was headed by an item labelled "cover charge". "What's this for?" I asked the waiter. "It's for bread and butter," he answered. "But you never brought us any bread and butter." Short pause. "Well, it's for, er ... your cutlery and, er ... the place mats." The bill also added a service charge, hilariously described as being "for your convenience". I can't wait for our next visit to see what other surreal amusements they have in store for us.
John Franklin, London


Bhubaneswar: Elections are the democratic fabric of India- symbolically and even literally. Like each thread is woven to form a complete attire, each vote is woven together to form the country's Government every five years. While surveys are busy predicting the mood of the nation, people's clothes have started giving a very clear sense of the atmosphere prevailing in this Election season.
It was first noted in West Bengal where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is fighting tooth and nail to bring down Trinamool Congress' bastion. Last week, sarees decked with BJP's lotus symbol were seen giving a tough competition to sarees with TMC's symbol of twin flowers. The nine-yard attire has joined the brigade of caps, t-shirts and other campaign material selling like hot cakes in West Bengal. Shopkeepers have been busy to supply these innovative textile goods.
Sarees with Modi's face are also being put up in the windows of the shops to lure the supporters in Mumbai. NaMo merchandise with 'Main Bhi Chowkidaar' branding has also hit the online stores and are selling fast.
Odisha too, is not far behind in the race of election fashion.
In Biju Janata Dal's (BJD) party headquarters today, women were seen donning a green saree with conch sells on it. Matching with the theme of 'Ghare Ghare Sankha' (conch shell in every home), these women reached the party office to submit the boxes filled with opinions of people that are to be incorporated in BJD's manifesto.
The women carried the sarees gracefully while clearly making a political yet fashionable statement. BJD leader Biswabandana Jena said, "We got the sarees made from Cuttack in Rs 250-300. 50 of us wore this attire and visited every house in 54 panchayats to show the people how much we love the party."
With election tensions now being worn on the sleeves, the run up to the polls will definitely prove to be an interesting show.

After a little over seven months on the job, Seneca County Manager Mitch Rowe said he can safely say that the state of the county is good.
Rowe said an update on the audit response will be given at the May Board of Supervisors committee meetings. "We should have a tentative report done by the end of this month," he said.
Otherwise, Rowe said sales tax revenue for a county the size of Seneca is very strong.
"That revenue helps a lot with property taxes. That can change, but it is now trending upward. The arrival of del Lago Resort and Casino has helped by providing us with about $2.5 million a year," he said.
The revenue received from the county's 3 percent room occupancy tax, which the county is taking steps to increase to 5 percent, also has trended upward. Rowe said it has generated about $450,000 a year, up from around $200,000 not many years ago.
"The outlet mall in Junius has also been a steady generator of sales tax revenue for us," Rowe said.
Rowe said the recent announcement that Hillside Children's Center in Varick was closing at the end of the year was a blow. But he said the county's Workforce Development staff, Industrial Development Agency and Finger Lakes Works are working hard with other employers to help Hillside workers find new jobs.

Q: War directory can't be resolvd After migrating from Endpoint V1 to V2, and updating android studio to V3.0 Beta4, it doesn't seem that I'm able to create the "webapp directory" in the build folder for the backend.

*being able to deploy the backend.

A: It took me forever to figure out what was wrong until I seen someone else build. It seems that the compiler looks for the 'WAR_DIR' inside of 'exploded-backend' however when building the project it seems that it sets the name inside of 'backend.iml' from 'exploded-backend' to 'exploded-app' for some reason I couldn't figure out. To fix that you just need to look inside of 'backend.iml' for 'WAR_DIR' and change the end of the path from 'exploded-app' to 'exploded-backend'

World Without Compass
Posted on 6 Nov 2017 17 Apr 2018

Uzbekistan – Pearl of the Orient
When I asked my guide if Uzbek language is ancient, he defended it vociferously and explained (with futility) the difference between the more simple English and complex Uzbek – one required a dictionary, the other had no experts. "It goes deep" is all he could tell me. I believed him. He was an expert in languages and speaks Farsi, Uzbek, Russian, English and Turkish fluently, and understands Hebrew as well as Yiddish well (I thought they were the same but apparently they are not) to be able to draw comparisons.
I had thought that for a language to borrow its vocabulary from Turkish and script from Latin (and previously) Cyrillic, there may be little that is its own. But during my journey, I came to discover that this beautiful country that lies on the crossroads of history borrowed a lot but also gave the world much of its own.
Weaving – the geometrical patterns the women wove so exquisitely on the camel saddles, patterns inside the yurts, on bags to store grains, on rugs, on their clothes, their wedding trousseau – was done using cotton or camel wool. With the introduction of silk, this changed. We now have carpets made from silk, thanks to the Uzbeki art of weaving combined with silk from China. Incidentally, the Uzbeks learned carpet making from Turkmenistan, which was a part of Bukhara khanate in the past.
In the carpet gallery located in Bukhara I noticed Turkmen carpets which had medallions; Chinese carpets were more muted in colour and had dragons. Carpets from Uzbekistan had patterns resembling sheep. The most mesmerising were the carpets woven by the fire worshipers. Fiery red in colour, they were created by the tribes to remind them of the fire god. There was Bukhara print as well as other influences including Buddhist and Christian beliefs.
Ikat – Ikat is a loom I was surprised to find in Uzbekistan. Ikat could have possibly made its way to Uzbekistan from India or via Malaya and Indonesia when the Maritime Silk Route was established. Uzbeki methods of preparing dyes is its own; with silk from China, the two were combined to develop its own Ikat loom.
Ikat was worn widely by members of royalty and denoted high status in the society.
Ikat looms in Bukharan bazaars
Porcelain – Pottery is one of the most primitive, yet advanced form of civilisation. I saw a number of artefacts excavated which went to prove that pottery was used for storage. With the influence of the Arabs (or it could be Persians as they used glazed tiles for their mosques) the Uzbeks started glazing their earthern ware. Experts in metal casting, they prepared dyes using iron for red, cobalt for blue, copper for yellow, a mixture of iron and cobalt for black so on and so forth to glaze their pottery.
Silversmithing – The jewellery was among the most elaborate I have ever seen. Women adorned jewellery for at least up to a year and even afterwards. Reason being, if for any reason, their husband would divorce his wife, she can walk out with the jewellery she had on her. Anything that was stored in her wedding chest was not hers. Women wore at least 10kgs of Jewellery at a time, some even more.
Every village had a jeweller who was a gifted silversmith. He was paid in grains, cattle or through other ways (never money). I saw a lot of silver work – those from Turkmenistan were tribal and clunky. In Bukhara I saw a lot of intricate filigree work, similar to what I have seen in India. It is possible that jewellers learned this form of silver smithing from ancient Greeks who perfected it between 6th to 3rd century B.C.
Portrait of the royal jeweller to the Emir of Bukhara
Tea – Uzbeks drink a lot of tea. Choyxona can be seen everywhere. They drink both black and green tea, but prefer the latter. Just like the Chinese, they drink it with their meals. Albeit being unauthentic, they also have tea with spices (like in India), tea with lemon and tea with mint (like in Morocco or Jordan) to add an creative twist to their daily fix. They have coffee too, similar to the Turkish style, sometimes adding cardamom to it, but it is their love for tea that gives the Silk Route such a special place in the history.
Blue and white pottery may come from China, though the pattern is a cotton flower from Uzbekistan
Tile work – probably connects with porcelain work mentioned above but the reason to mention this separately is because they pride themselves in creating intricate tile work, second only to Iran. Uzbekistan has the largest number of archeological buildings I was told – some 4000 – more than any other country.
Their blue tile work is callled "Majolica" and is a technique they have borrowed from Mallorca. Their turquoise most likely is from Iran, which has influenced the country greatly in its architecture, ancient script and spread of Islam.
Majolica tiles borrowed the colour and tile making from Mallorca while the geometric pattern is Arabic

Woodcraft – An amazing amount of patience goes into learning and creating wood work that uses no nails in the making. Collapsible nuts and dry fruit holders, plates, book stands with 10 different positions, jewellery boxes, mirrors, bowls, artful objects for home – the wood smiths are bent over on their crafting table measuring, cutting, chiseling, sanding, painting and glazing their work.
I have seen woodwork in India which resembles woodwork from Uzbekistan, indicating there was an exchange of skill via the Silk Route.
Fine detailing in wood carving is something I have seen in India and other Southeast Asian countries
A wooden pillar from India was only recently installed. It was gifted to pahlawan Mahmood when he visited India but was not permitted to be installed in Jumma Masjid in Khiva as the pattern resembled human figure that is banned in Islamic art
Miniature art – Probably something that came from Persia and practiced and perfected by the Uzbeks. Microscopically precise, yet evocative in their illustration, miniature painting is widely used when writing the holy Quran, poems and manuscripts, illustrations – the most popular being the love tale of Layla and Majnun and scenes from the courtroom.
Embroidery – an art that was practiced just until the turn of the century and lost to the mass produced clothes coming out of powerlooms and factories. The Suzanis embroidered by the womenfolk are of artistic quality comprising complex stitches and in harmonious colours featuring patterns from the nature that is passed on from generation to generation. It's art of gold embroidery called "zarduzi" has found its way from Persia to India.
Fruits and flowers from the "tree of life" is quite frequently depicted on the Suzani
Suzanis were embroidered and passed on from mother to daughter
Music – Stringed instruments of Tanbur comes from the Greek Tambouras. It was adopted by the Arabs and called Tanbur and is used in Turkish as well as Uzbek music. This came to be known as Tanpura in India.
Dutar, a shepherd's musical instrument, used catgut. With the opening of Silk Road, musicians used silk threads in its place. Rubab, a lute from Afghanistan has found a place in Uzbek music.
Religion – Uzbekistan borrowed Zoroastrianism and Buddhism before Islam came to the land. From the Russians, came Orthodox Christianity. They still have a small Jewish community who live in Bukhara.
Although they share borders with Afghanistan and were strongly influenced by Persia, they remain moderately Muslim, following the same path as Turkey. Women do not wear hijabs nor do men wear long beard.
The Synagogue in Bukhara has seen state visits by Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright
Originally a fire temple, it was converted into a mosque. The 2 columns on either side were retained as they resemble a book (or the holy Quran)

Architecture – I was always amazed how Islamic architecture in India had organic representations of fruits, flowers and vines. The beautiful Taj Mahal is a great example. Typically, Islamic architecture comprises geometrical patterns in perfect symmetry. But in India, all Islamic architecture is organic. I found the answer in Uzbekistan where I saw a strong assimilation of geometric and organic patterns.
With nature being so abundant here, it is but natural that it influenced architecture too, and quite possibly, the organic representation via architecture made its way in India too.
All of my guides would eagerly compare the Taj Mahal with the mausoleums in Uzbekistan. And why not. After all, when Shah Jahan built Taj Mahal for his wife Mumtaz, he commissioned builders from Samarkand and Bukhara to construct the mausoleum.
And there it is – the Pearl of the Orient and my wanderlust feet. The two were meant to meet (the pearl dropped off from a bride's wedding dress)

That journey has not ended.
I currently live in Singapore and have travelled over a 100 countries. But travelling a country and ticking off a bucket list alone is not enough. I like to experience its culture, understand its history, learn about its people, savour its food and go deep into its roots.
And so, the adventure continues…

Pantene Aqua Pure - Get clean, light hair without the weight!
While all hair types can suffer from the weighed down feeling, fine hair is particularly susceptible to this problem, due to its structure.
After studying hair structures and conditioning mechanisms in detail, Pantene experts realized that many conditioners are too heavy for fine hair. The reason? When hair shafts are fine they are less able to support the nourishing ingredients deposited on the hair by many conditioners, leading hair to become limp. Traditionally, to combat this, hair care collections have offered a 'lighter' option, which compromises on nourishment. However, Pantene's breakthrough technology found in the new Aqua Pure range, offers a solution which means no more trade off – delivering both nourishment and a lighter feel.

Last year was an unforgettable moment for me as I won the media group for the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest Year 3 held at New Glorietta Activity Center. As they promised, the new year of the annual eating competition get tougher yet with prizes getting bigger and better.
Though I was not part of this year's competition, it is still an opportunity to support fellow blogger Ruel Umali (www.ruelumali.com) on his bid to be the winner in the media group. I did gave pointers and some techniques that I used and the things I have learned from the previous year which he can use for his way of chomping down bowls of beef.
