The Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau in cooperation with DS-X.org is the organiser of a series of events entitled 'microscope session'. With the Festspielhaus Hellerau as its venue the 'microscope session' experiments with forms of synaesthetic perception in audio-visual presentations. It serves the contemporary desire for synaesthetic perception. The result of four years work is now compiled in the storage device of a DVD. All those who participated in the events so far were invited to contribute a clip to the DVD. It is a dream dreamt for a long time – and not only by artists – to be able to see sounds as images and hear images as sounds. The 'alchemists of the electronic arts' or the 'modellers of the audio-visionary' are the creative and cultural forerunners who develop media in order to work with them artistically. Since the real experience of audio-visual concerts cannot be reproduced when using the medium of a DVD, a collection of most diverse approaches and aesthetics emerged from the connection of sound and visual material. Thus, the works at hand generally presuppose their reception via monitor and PA. In fact, they are audio-visual psychotechniques for the solitary or shared use in the couch environment of a common living room, in the chill out section or, when travelling, on the laptop. They are exclusive works by authors whose backgrounds range from professional art work and graphic design to spare time handicrafts. As such, the pieces represent the state of the art of a screen-oriented audio-visual culture. The interfaces of club and museum, party and work of art, aesthetics and economy, science and life are the contexts in which VJs act. The examples [OSZO 1]TM by Ritchie Riediger or the video processing HUMAsystem by HUMATIC (applied in PERSON's Person In Mekanik Wunderland) show how today's technical innovations may be placed both in the field of art and in the market of entertainment industry. The 'electronic alchemist' thus works in the zone in between artistic approach and commercial interest.

Our misconception on the size of the world.
Most of you will have come across a 2D map of the world that correctly displays all countries fitting perfectly to each other. But did you ever realize that this map is not showing you the true size of these countries? This results in a misconception on the world for many people.
The map you know is based on the Mercator projection. The idea was invented in 1569 so that ships can sail in a constant compass direction for long stretches without having to plot twisted routes. Most modern maps of the world are based on this principle. The linear scale is constant in every direction on this map but sizes are inflated especially near the poles.
As a result of this, many peoples view of the world is heavily informed by the Mercator projection. This results in a wrong conception of size. The vast majority of us aren't using paper maps to chart our course across the ocean anymore. So critics of the Mercator projection argue that the continued use of this style of the map gives users a warped sense of the true size of countries – particularly in the case of the African continent.
For example, Greenland appears the same size as Africa, when in reality Africa is 14 times larger. Antarctica appears to be extremely large, although it is actually the third smallest continent by area. Antarctica is just smaller than Russia, or the size of the United States and India combined.
This misconception of the world really comes into play when moving away from the equator. Visually speaking, Canada and Russia appear to take up approximately 25% of the Earth's surface, when in reality they occupy a mere 5%.
The map of the world shown up top was made by a climate scientist named Neil Kaye from the UK and it shows the map we all know overlayed with the true size of all the countries.
It is really world-changing to realize how wrong our view of the world really is.
People not only perceive the size of the world the wrong way, but they also have a wrong sense of distance.
Another misconception many people have from only looking at this 2D map all their lives is, that the United States of America and their long time rival appear to be separated by half the world when in fact at their closest point the mainland of Russia and the US have only 88.5 km of ocean between them. This is called the Bering Strait. But there are two little islands in the middle of this Straight one of which is owned by the US and the other by Russia. The stretch of water between these two islands is only about 2.5 miles wide and actually freezes over during the winter so you could technically walk from the US to Russia on this seasonal sea ice.
In the picture here you can see these two islands. On the left-hand side, you can see Cape Dezhnev Russia and on the right-hand side, you can see Cape Prince of Wales Alaska USA. The two islands in the middle are Big Diomede Russia and Diomede USA.
But why use the Mercator projection in the first place?
The Mercator projection has two features that made it very useful for see navigation. First, the meridian (line of longitude) is a vertical line. And the latitude is a horizontal line. That is why it's used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. Making it much easier to stay on course, especially when there where no satellites help navigate the ocean. Nowadays ships use technology and satellite connection to navigate and this type of map has no real use anymore. Planes use a totally different map altogether. And all other types of transportation have no need for a world map because on the scale we drive this effect does not come into play. But because this map was used for so long and has found its way into schools and kinds of services we are so used to it that we don't even realize our error. There are many other ways to project a globe onto a 2D surface. But that's always connected with problems.
I bet most of you have at some point or another tried to flatten the peel of an orange to a table. I have. What you will notice is, that gabs form, and near the two poles these gabs will be widest. That is because the area of the orange and the area of a rectangle is different in form and size. Some maps show the earth just like the peel of an orange flattened to the ground. The Goode´s Homolosine Equal-area Projection is an example of that. You can see that the North-South and the West-East lines are not straight anymore.
So one can conclude that neither map is useless but some are better for comparing the size of individual countries. And others are better to Navigate the oceans and compare the shape of the different countries.
Seeing for yourself
Luckily we are living in a world where technology is available to most people.
Google maps for example uses the Mercator projection as a base setting but there is a feature where you can change to globe mode which lets you see the world like it really is. I would absolutely recommend you to check it out. You can even zoom all the way out to space and take a look at all the other planets and moons in our solar system. But just comparing your country to some of the others you always thought where bigger or smaller than yours will blow your mind.
In these two pictures you can see a view of Europe, Greenland and parts of the African continent. The first one shoes the 2D version of google maps and the second one the globe version. You can easely see the size difference of greenland in the two pictures. If you want to try this out for yourself, click here. To change the view on PC from 2D to globe moder just click the little globe icon in the bottom right cornor. If you zoom out all the way first and then change the mode the map will change with a cool animation.
To see the globe on mobile you need to open google maps in your internet browser. As far as I know, the app does not have this option enabled.
Let me know which country you thought was much bigger or much smaller than you always thought. And which missconception you had before reading this article.

World, DC-Area Premieres Abound in Strathmore's January & February 2019 Chamber Music Concerts
Yael Weiss visits the Mansion at Strathmore, January 24th (Photo: Lisa Marie Mazzucco)
From our friends at Strathmore...
January & February Performances in the Mansion at Strathmore
Pianist Yael Weiss unveils new 32 Bright Clouds project with five world premieres;
DC-area premieres by Tessa Lark, Verona Quartet
The new year brings new music to the Mansion at Strathmore, with seven World and DC-area premieres in its January and February Music in the Mansion concerts. Pianist Yael Weiss unveils her 32 Bright Clouds project, an expression of unity and peace during turbulent times that pairs the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas with 32 newly-commissioned short piano compositions from 32 composers in 32 different countries spanning the globe. This first installment of the project features five world premieres by composers from Iran, Syria, Jordan, Ghana, and the Philippines. Tessa Lark's technical precision and sensitive interpretation has made her a budding star in classical music, whose Kentucky roots keep her returning to bluegrass and the music of Appalachia. Her performance juxtaposes the DC-area premiere of Michael Thurber's Violin Sonata, written specifically for Lark, with pieces by John Corigliano, Beethoven, and Stravinsky - an illustration of her ability to oscillate between the classical canon and contemporary multi-genre works. Four instrumental voices melt into an organic whole when Verona Quartet performs the DC-area premiere of composer Michael Gilbertson's Quartet, which Verona co-commissioned, alongside works by Czech composer Leoš Janáček and Mozart. Notably, Quartet was a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist, with the honor ultimately going to rapper Kendrick Lamar.
For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.strathmore.org or call (301) 581-5100.
Upcoming concerts in the Mansion at Strathmore in January and February 2019 include:
YAEL WEISS: 32 BRIGHT CLOUDS
Beethoven: Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 31 No. 3 "The Hunt" (I: Allegro)
Malek Jandali (Syria, b. 1972): The Hunt for Peace (2018, World Premiere)
Saed Haddad (Jordan, b. 1972): Nuages funèbres (Funereal Clouds) (2018, World Premiere)
George Mensah Essilfie (Ghana, b. 1967): Hope for the Shackled (2018, World Premiere)
Beethoven: Sonata in C-sharp minor, Op. 27 no. 1 "Moonlight" (I: Adagio Sostenuto)
Ananda Sukarlan (Indonesia, b. 1968): No More Moonlight Over Jakarta (2017)
Sidney Marquez Boquiren (Philippines, b. 1970): Unheard Voices (2018, World Premiere)
Aida Shirazi (Iran, b. 1987): Après... (2018, World Premiere)
Beethoven: Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 81a, "Les Adieux"
Lauded by contemporaries and critics alike for her visionary interpretations of surprising depth, immediacy, and communicative power, pianist Yael Weiss brings her dazzling technical skill and expressive sensitivity to bear in 32 Bright Clouds. Her performance at Strathmore launches this new project, with five world premieres by composers from Iran, Syria, Jordan, Ghana, and the Philippines. With this new project, Weiss seeks to respond to current social and political environments in the U.S. and worldwide by harnessing music's power to convey a message of unity and peace. Says Weiss: "In this particular program, I've chosen to focus on the storyline of how the concept of peace is interpreted in each of the new works, both as a purely musical idea and also as related to real-life events in the particular countries I'm presenting." The project pairs the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas with 32 newly-commissioned short piano compositions from 32 composers in 32 different countries spanning the globe.
TESSA LARK
Stravinsky: Suite Italienne
John Corigliano: STOMP
Michael Thurber: Violin Sonata (DC-area premiere)
Beethoven: Sonata No. 9 "Kreutzer"
Known for her astounding range of sounds, Tessa Lark has appeared as soloist with the preeminent orchestras of the world, yet her strong Kentucky roots keep bluegrass and Appalachian music on her roster. Lark also performs as a chamber musician with the award-winning Trio Modêtre and alongside the likes of Mitsuko Uchida, Itzhak Perlman, and Pamela Frank. This performance features the DC-area premiere of Violin Sonata, written for Lark by frequent collaborator Michael Thurber - it will have just received its world premiere in New York two days prior to Lark's Strathmore performance. The repertoire is emblematic of Lark's zeal for pairing canonical violin repertoire with more contemporary multi-genre works. Performed alongside Beethoven and Stravinsky, John Corigliano's STOMP incorporates elements of fiddling and the non-standard tunings found in bluegrass/Appalachian styles.
This promising violin talent was a Silver Medalist in the 2014 International Violin Competition, recipient of a 2018 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and a 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and winner of the 2012 Naumburg International Violin Competition.
VERONA QUARTET
Mozart: Quartet in F Major K.590 "Prussian"
Michael Gilbertson: Quartet (D.C.-area premiere)
Leoš Janáček: Quartet no.2 "Intimate Letters"
Lauded as an "outstanding ensemble" by The New York Times, this exciting young quartet burst onto the scene just five years ago and has already impressed audiences and critics alike with its intensity, expressiveness, and passion for expanding the canon by performing works by living composers. Four individual voices melt into an organic whole that violist Abagail Rojansky refers to as the group's "fifth member," "that quartet voice which is an entity to its own," and which perfectly embodies their "interpretive strength, robust characterization, [and] commanding resonance" (Calgary Herald). This performance juxtaposes the DC premiere of young composer Michael Gilbertson's Quartet, which Verona Quartet co-commissioned, with works by Czech composer Leoš Janáček and Mozart. Quartet was, rather famously, a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2016 - the year rapper Kendrick Lamar was awarded the prestigious honor.
Strathmore is supported by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council, an agency dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive. An agency of the Department of Business & Economic Development, MSAC provides financial support and technical assistance to non-profit organizations, units of government, colleges, and universities for arts activities. Strathmore is also supported in part by the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County.

"I am Moth, a girl from the lowest part of Chrystie Street, born to a slum-house mystic and the man who broke her heart." So begins The Virgin Cure, a novel set in the tenements of lower Manhattan in the year 1871. As a young child, Moth's father smiled, tipped his hat and walked away from her forever. The summer she turned twelve, her mother sold her as a servant to a wealthy woman, with no intention of ever seeing her again.
From #1 international bestselling author Ami McKay comes The Virgin Cure, the story of a young girl abandoned and forced to fend for herself in the poverty and treachery of post-Civil War New York City. McKay, whose debut novel The Birth House made headlines around the world, returns with a resonant tale inspired by her own great-great-grandmother's experiences as a pioneer of women's medicine in nineteenth-century New York. In a powerful novel that recalls the evocative fiction Anita Shreve, Annie Proulx, and Joanne Harris, Ami McKay brings to light the story of early, forward-thinking social warriors, creating a narrative that readers will find inspiring, poignant, adventure-filled, and utterly unforgettable.

Designing before the "Design Phase"
When I was in college, I was told that one of the most healthy disciplines I could pick up was to sketch everything, first. Pen and paper are your friend. My professors would make us turn in our preliminary sketches to try to enforce this mentality. Even though, no one is forcing me to do that now, it's still a good habit that I continue to practice.
When I start each project, I start with visual research. I know this sounds like a fluff term, but it's probably one of the most defining steps in the process. If I'm working on a piece for middle aged women, I'll might pick up Real Simple, O, Vogue, and Martha Stewart magazines. These are things that these women are paying attention to. Each of these magazines have spent millions of dollars in research to determine trends. Why not take cues from them in determining what's popular?
Visual research doesn't have to be all about the audience, though, it can also be about content. For example, if I'm working on a site that's copy heavy, I might look at other sites (CNN.com and USAToday) that face the same "problem" and take notes on how they solve it. How many columns did they use? Do they show the full article? excerpts? or headlines?
I'll take all the images that I find and post them on my wall in my office. This helps me think in a particular stylistic direction, as well as, make connections based on what I've seen.
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
"Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."
With a few of my clients, I've started making mood boards. It's essentially what I've done for myself in the visual research phase, so it's just a matter of sharing what I've found with the client. I've found that a lot of times the design vocabulary I use is different than theirs. So, if we have actually images we can point to, it guarantees that we're both talking about the same thing. By getting their feedback early on, it let's me know if I'm moving in the right direction. Do they like large, bold typography? large header images? muted color palette?
I submitted a mood board to a client a couple of months ago and they came back and said, "This looks great, but it's not at all what we want." I said, "Perfect! The mood board did exactly what it was supposed to. It prevented me from spending a bunch of time designing something that you didn't want." From there, the mood board was able to launc us into a healthy conversation about what they really did want.
I design everything in my moleskine first. I'll write down all the elements that we already agreed need to be on a particular page. I'll write down on all the main navigation items. I'll sketch different layout ideas, getting everything out of my head and onto paper. I'll draw design elements: chevrons, rules, squares. I'll make notes about how things will work responsively or if I want a section to animate in. I'll write out the good and the bad. –Even if I know an idea is bad ahead of time, I'll still write it down just to get it out of my head. Then, mentally, I can move on to other, better ideas. I can process a concept so much faster on paper than I can on the computer.
All this happens before a pixel is created in Photoshop or a single line of code is written.
What are some things that you do to prepare or inform your designs?

This past Saturday was our first swim meet of the season. It was also the first year that all 3 kiddos were on the team. Jack Jack was no longer the patient boy hanging out for 8 hours cheering for his sisters; he finally got to be in all the excitement.
I think the only thing I don't care for is their love of the Snack Shack. Well, let me back up….I don't like my kiddos spending their money on food – that's kinda my job, it's like in the rule book that I have to feed them. So when I bring coolers full of snacks, sandwiches and treats and all they want to do is spend a small fortune at the Snack Shack on sugar…it drives me a little crazy.
I thought I had finally figured it out. I had a small bag full of coins all ready for them. I told them that this was it. This was all the money they could have all season for Snack Shacks. I told them I was putting them in charge of the whole ordeal, that once they were out of money that I didn't want to hear the S word.
Turns out this was a horrible parenting choice.
I hand them the coin purse at 6:57am, they run straight over to the Snack Shack and come back at 7:02am with their arms filled with licorice rope, orange soda and ring pops.
Rule number one; don't put the 7 year old boy with no sense of tomorrow and a sweet tooth in charge of shiny coins. I woulda bet money that he was yelling 'YOLO!' the whole way over to the Snack Shack.
I decided to go the sportsmanship route. What characteristics of sportsmanship are there over here in swimming land? Play fair, no trash talk, respect the rulings, stay positive, do your best….what else? Ah yes, the grace thing….that one is my favorite.
Ok Schroeder….After each race, every time you shake hands with the person in the lane next to you, I will give you one dollar to spend at your beloved Snack Shack.
I wonder what the parental handbook says about Parental Bribery?
We are on our way to our second swim meet of the season right now. We have the next 8 hours to try this out….we will see what happens, I hope it works. Cross your fingers for me.
Man, this parenting gig is hard.
what event are we on?

Boy, 3, baffles doctors by speaking English without ever learning it
a year ago 200 views by Ali Juma
- O'Neal Mahmoud's family lives in Israel and is Arab-speaking
- However, he speaks English without ever having learned it
- This has left his family and doctors baffled
PAY ATTENTION: Click "See first" under the "Following" tab to see Briefly News on your newsfeed!
A three-year-old boy in the Golan Heights, Israel, has baffled his family and doctors by speaking English without ever having learned it.
According to Oddity Central, O'Neal Mahmoud speaks English with a British accent far better than he speaks his native Arabic.
Even more incredibly, he does not know the Arabic equivalents of the English phrases he knows, such as, "Oh my goodness" and "my dear."

Speaking to Israel's Channel 10, the boy's grandfather, Yahya Shams, said:
I don't understand every word, and sometimes I tell him, 'Yes, okay,' and I don't understand what he's saying.
O'Neal's parents said he doesn't watch a lot of English programmes on TV and has never travelled abroad, Briefly.co.za learned.

In fact, O'Neal has difficulties communicating with his family at home and fellow pupils in kindergarten. They all worry that he might not integrate properly if he doesn't learn Arabic.
Experts said it could be a case of xenoglossy, a condition where a person speaks a language that he or she could not have learned through natural means.
However, it still doesn't explain why O'Neal is not picking up Arabic at the same rate he's picking up English.

Het Johan de Witt-gymnasium is een gymnasium in de stad Dordrecht, in de provincie Zuid-Holland, met bijna 800 leerlingen. Het is het oudste gymnasium van Nederland.

Geschiedenis
De school werd in 1253 als "Latijnse school" opgericht. Gerardus Vossius was van 1600 tot 1623 rector van deze school. Isaac Beeckman volgde hem in 1627 op als rector. Tegenwoordig is de school vernoemd naar een oud-leerling, de 17e-eeuwse staatsman Johan de Witt. In 2003 werd het 750-jarig bestaan van dit gymnasium uitbundig gevierd.

In 1993 betrok de school het pand Oranjepark 11 (waar vanaf 1957 het Titus Brandsmacollege was gevestigd). Vanaf 2009 tot 4 november 2013 was het Johan de Witt-gymnasium tijdelijk gevestigd in het monumentale pand Doelesteijn, aan het Steegoversloot, omdat de locatie aan het Oranjepark werd verbouwd. Sinds het schooljaar 2014/2015 is de school weer gevestigd aan het Oranjepark 11.

De schoolkrant van het Johan de Witt-gymnasium, de Janus, is in 1938 opgericht. Tijdens het lustrum in 2003 werd het 750-jarig bestaan gevierd.

Schoollied
Het 'Eia'

Eia cantemus, sodales, carmen eloquentiae,

cui studemus, nos amici, fervida cupidine.

Namque magni semper aestimabitur facundia.

Vivat ergo, fiat nobis, nobilis sodalitas.

Richard Hayes of Isle of Wight County
We know nothing certain of the family of Richard Hayes, but he is an obvious candidate to have been an ancestor of the otherwise mysterious Peter Hayes who married Elizabeth Flake. Due to the loss of early Isle of Wight records there are only three mentions of him.
Richard Hayes arrived in Isle of Wight County about the same time as Peter Hayes the immigrant. Nothing is known of his family, thus it is possible that it included the later Hayes men who were not descended from Peer Hayes the immigrant.
Richard Hayes first appears as one of 14 headrights claimed in 1637 by Robert Bennett for a patent in eastern Isle of Wight County.1
By 1642 he had acquired a plantation on Currituck Creek that was mentioned in the legislative act of March 1642/3 setting the boundaries of Isle of Wight County: "[It] shall begin at Lawne's creek and from thence to extend downe along the maine river unto the plantation of Rich: Hayes formerly belonging unto John Howard including the said plantation and family from thence to extend from the main river into the woods southerly unto the plantation of William Nowell and Mr. Robert Pitt including likewise the said plantation and familys and from thence southerly as aforesaid… And the upper county of New Norff: to begin at the aforesaid plantation of Rich: Hayes and from thence into the woods southerly as aforesaid, and by the mayne river, from thence to extend downe by the mayne river into the creeke near unto the plantation of the said ffrancis Bullock being the first creek to the westward of Crayne Poynt…" 2
The same month his plantation was mentioned in the act establishing the two parishes of the county: "The lower parish to extend from the Pagan-poynt upon the river side to the plantation of Rich. Hayes, from the Pagan-poynt uppon the bay including all the southerly side to the plantation of [Joseph] Cobbs, and that all the inhabitants alreadie resideinge or that hereafter shall reside on that side to belong to the said lower parish…" 3
There were no further mentions of him found in any record. His plantation bordered Nansemond County (which was called Upper Norfolk until 1645), whose records are esentially nonexistent for the period.
A speculative genealogy is found in a book written in 18874 The genealogy is based largely on the similarity of given names among various Hayes men, which (if we followed the same line of temptation) might suggest to us that there is some significance to Richard Hayes appearing first among the names of the sons of Peter Hayes and Elizabeth Flake.

LSU reinstates hoops coach Wade
April 15, 2019 at 10:54 am |
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU has decided to reinstate recently suspended basketball coach Will Wade, athletic director Joe Alleva announced Sunday night.
The move came two days after a Wade met with LSU and NCAA officials, during which Alleva said the second-year Tigers coach "answered all questions and denied any wrongdoing in connection with recently reported allegations of irregularities in college basketball recruiting."
LSU was having one of the better seasons in program history under the 36-year-old Wade when he was suspended indefinitely. His punishment came on the heels of a Yahoo report about leaked excerpts of an FBI wiretap that captured Wade speaking with a person convicted funneling illegal payments to the families of college basketball recruits.
In transcripts of the phone call, Wade discussed presenting a "strong" offer to an apparent third-party who represented then-recruit Javonte Smart. It was not clear from the leaked transcripts whether Wade in fact violated NCAA rules or if Smart, a freshman who started 18 games this past season, knew about the offer.
"Wade's explanations and clarifications offered during the meeting, absent actual evidence of misconduct, satisfy his contractual obligation to LSU," Alleva said.
Friday's meeting marked the first meaningful face-to-face communication between all parties since LSU suspended Wade for initially refusing to meet with school officials on March 8.
"The university regrets that Coach Wade did not choose to fulfill his obligations to LSU when he was first asked to do so," Alleva said. "However, the seriousness of the allegations and coach Wade's prior refusal to refute them could not be ignored without exposing the university and the basketball program to great risk."
BOSTON (AP) - Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis ended his record slump at 0 for 54 and drew applause from rival fans at Fenway Park, lining a single and two doubles while driving in four runs Saturday in a 9-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Davis broke into a smile when his bases-loaded, two-run single in the first inning broke the drought.
PHOENIX (AP) - John MacLeod, the longtime NBA coach who led the Phoenix Suns to the 1976 NBA Finals, has died. He was 81.
MacLeod's son, Matt, confirmed his father's death Sunday to The Associated Press. The elder MacLeod fought Alzheimer's disease for more than a decade.
SOPRON, Hungary (AP) - Reigning WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart was helped off the court during the EuroLeague Women championship game with what appeared to be a serious leg injury.
The Seattle Storm star was playing for Dynamo Kursk, a Russian women's basketball club, when she took a jumper with 27.2 seconds left in the first half against UMMC Ekaterinburg on Sunday. Stewart appeared to land awkwardly on the foot of fellow WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was defending her, and Stewart immediately grabbed at her lower right leg while grimacing in obvious pain.
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Alexander Rossi became the first driver in 12 years to win back-to-back on the streets of Long Beach, and the American joined some of the top stars in racing as multiple winners of the second-biggest race on the IndyCar schedule.
Rossi won the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday from the pole, same as last year, and had the field covered very early. His margin of victory over Josef Newgarden was nearly 20 seconds as Andretti Autosport scored its first win of the season.
Rossi is the eighth driver to win more than once on the temporary street course through the downtown streets of Long Beach. He joined Mario Andretti, Al Unser Jr., Alex Zanardi, Paul Tracy, Sebastien Bourdais, Will Power and Mike Conway.

AAW Destination: Chicago recap
By Riley Thomas
Editor's note; This is not a full length review of AAW, this is a brief review of my thoughts of the PPV. All opinions here are mine and may not reflect AAW's.
To paraphrase a great man.
HAS COME BACK
To Logans Square.
It was a hard-hitting show from beginning to the end, from the Alive taping (which I won't cover except a small bit because of spoilers) to the end of the main show. AAW never disappoints, and Destination: Chicago was no different. I missed some things due to being uncomfortable in the very tight space of Logans vs the more spacious Bourbon, and the fact that I was absolutely invested in the match and just forgot to take pictures. I planned to write a longer article, but typically the Fite TV app is not working very well, so it's going to be shorter than planned. I did, however, land this fantastic shot of Skye Blue looking very not impressed with her opponents in the ring:
Let's get on with the main card! The opening bout was Davey Vega vs Jake Lander. At the beginning of the match, Davey was convinced to throw down his Bestest of Friends jacket and leave it behind. Sadly, he agreed to it, threw the jacket down at the "suggestion" of the utter slime bag John E Bravo, and went on with the match. A sad day for AAW as John Capital E Bravo convinced him to leave a legacy behind in the ring. I believe John Capital E Bravo should be banned from ringside from now on, but that's AAW's call. Davey Vega of course won the match because of his stooges. I don't think this guy could buy a win on his own anymore. He relies way too much on John E Bravo to do his dirty work for him, and really should learn to stand on his own. Sure he has a good thing with Bravo and them, but he can't seem to win a match without help anymore. The best part of the match, however, was when good old Russ Jones came out and caused absolute devastation, taking out both of Bravo's lackeys, but Bravo himself, much to the delight of the fans. Bravo called out Russ Jones after Vega picked up the W, which was a big mistake. He apparently thought the numbers game would work in his favor, but it actually worked against him, despite Owens and Chambers coming out to attempt to cash in the bounty on Russ' head. It was not to be as Jones destroyed Bravo's lackeys, and then gave Bravo a birthday knee to the back of the head.
Happy birthday, John, capital E, period, Bravo. #ThankYouRuss
Next up was Juice Robinson vs the very hard hitting 1 Called Manders. Manders lived up to his hard hitting reputation and beat the holy hell out of Juice. Manders beat him in the ring, out of the ring, in the crowd, out of the crowd, even the poor announcer had to take cover from Manders reign of awesomeness. However, in the end, Juice picked up the W somehow. Oh right, because Infamy came out and decked Manders in the head with the tag belts. #FuckINfamy, they've been interfering with SGC matches for months, and tonight was no different. But as they were celebrating in the ring by beating up Manders due to him putting a member of Infamy in the hospital….
Manders taking a second before resuming his beating.
Out comes "WHAT'S MY NAME?" Jake Something and Stallion Rodgers. This was not a match. This was a brawl. This was pure bad-assery, as SOMETHING and Rodgers started off strong, beating the absolute hell out of Steele and Joeasa in the ring. Out of the ring. Back in the ring. This match went everywhere, as matches with Infamy do because Infamy can't stay in the ring. I don't think they have the talent to. Infamy has to use cheap tactics to win, and nearly did so. All of a sudden we see a water bottle seemingly materialize out of thin air and slap Infamy right in the head. Manders had come back out and was going to cost them the titles, and he lived up to it. Thank god, the infamous reign of those cheaters Infamy was over, and we crowned our first new champion of the night, Jake "WHATS MY NAME?" SOMETHING and Stallion picked up the W, and the titles, and the crowd couldn't have been happier. Now run back to your cave Infamy, you're done. This match showcased Jake's strength, as on one occasion he had both members of Infamy up by the neck, one in each hand, and slammed them down. It also showed just how well a good tag team is, with quick tags, great double moves. Infamy has a distinct advantage as they are a fluid, well oiled team, but they still lost, and the crowd loved it.
Next up was a great 5 man match with a great stipulation. The winner could take on for any championship, any time, any where. Interestingly enough Xavier Walker was not in Ace's corner tonight. This fast paced match featured Ace Perry, Frontman Jah-C, Hakim, "The baddest mother fucker on the planet" Schaff, and the biggest surprise of the night, the return of Rich Swann.
This match was pretty good, I'm not going to go into great detail because this was long, and crazy. But unlike a lot of matches in other places like WWE that don't really showcase everyone, as one person gets squashed, AAW gave everyone a chance in this fantastic match. I thought Rich Swann would get all the attention, but he got just as much, if not a little less, match time than everyone else, which was nice to see. AAW has these multiple man matches, and they don't give one person a lot more time than another, it's always a nice balance between everyone. It's something nice and refreshing. I think everyone got a pin at some point. At one point Ace fell out of the ring thanks to Rich Swann by us, and the guy by me goes
"You didn't deserve that Ace!" Ace just said
"It's Rich Swann.".
At one point Ace Perry tried to Meteora Schaff while Schaff had Hakim in his arms. Schaff didn't budge, and powerbomb/power slammed both men with ease, then flew through the ropes and took out four men in an amazing feat of speed.
Another thing I liked is I expected Swann to win this, being the "star", but again, AAW did not let us down, and Hakim Zane ended up picking up the W in this one over everyone. What an absolutely fantastic match put on by AAW once again.
At the end when everyone was chanting "Please come back!" Rich Swann yelled "YOU BET YOUR ASS I'LL BE BACK!"
Next was the Heritage championship, with two young veterans. 24 year old Ace Austin and 25 year old Myron Reed. Two young wrestlers who fight like they're old timers already. Ace and Myron are, with the exception of 21 as of September 12th year old Skye Blue, I believe are the two youngest on the roster. These two put on an absolute clinic of technical and high flying, Ace Austin was without Madman Fulton tonight as well, and showed just how great he is as a singles competitor. I've seen him in Impact as a singles competitor, and in both AAW and Impact as a tag team, and Ace Austin is really onto something. This young wrestler fights like a well seasoned veteran, and if he's not AAW Champion in the next two years, I'll be really surprised. Myron, on the other hand, has a very similar style to Ace Austin. Quick, fast on his feet, high flyer. Myron at 25 has already won the heritage title, and after losing it tonight, I feel puts him in the main title shot picture soon. Myron also has that "Seasoned veteran" style. It's not something you see from larger places today that just bury their younger talent and push men that should be retired. At one point Myron launched himself over the corner post into the air and onto Ace Austin by the entryway in one hell of a jump. The entire match, as only AAW can do, was amazing. Well paced, fast when it needed to be, slow when it needed to be. The crowd was evenly divided between "New Champ" and "Old Champ". But in the end, Ace Austin would pick up the W, but his title reign would last literally only minutes.
At 1:29:27 on Fite, Ace Austin wins the belt.
At 1:30:00 Hakim enters the ring to "congratulate" Ace Austin
At 1:31:18 Ace accepts the challenge
At 1:31:37 Ace Austin gets the hell beat out of him from behind
At 1:32:00 Hakim Zane wins the Heritage title for the third time in 5 seconds.
Ace Austin barely held the belt for 3 minutes.
Ace's girlfriend Gia came out to try to help Ace out while he was being pummeled, but she got her face slammed into the mat for her trouble. The Hussle and the Muscle pick up the belt and left. Hakim Zane is absolute scum.
Davey Richards and Daniel Garcia were next. This was a good match. The funny story here was 24 hours previous, Garcia was beating up CM Punk on AEW. Then he was on AAW taking on Davey Richards. 24 hours later he'll be back on AEW.
Davey Richards looked fantastic, one half of the American Wolves. This was a great match, really technical, with some pretty hard hits as well. I haven't heard or seen from Richards in quite awhile, so to see him for the first time in a couple years, since I saw him with Kingston as the American Wolves, was a nice surprise. He really put it all in the ring against Red Death, but it wasn't enough, and Garcia picked up a win.
I really hope Richards comes back to AAW, he's really a fantastic wrestler, and he showed he's still got it after all these years out of the spotlight. It was nice to see a clean handshake in the middle of the ring of respect.
Next match up was a returning Jody Threat against AK Allison Kay for the AAW Womens Championship. During the match, the announcers mentioned Daffney and her passing. They said to remember to check on your friends and family. No one is ever alone, if you feel that way, talk to someone. Talk to a friend, a family member. If you feel that darkness starting to take you over, contact the suicide hotline, 800-273-8255. You're not alone. Jody sure wasn't alone, as Alison Kay and Jody had a hell of a fight. There wasn't a lot of technicality in this fight, it was just that, a fight. Jody and Allison chopped, kicked and punched the hell out of each other the entire match, most of it outside, and a great drinking contest on the apron between Jody and Allison, with Jody finishing it off. Allison would pick up the W in this fight later on. Sadly the best photo I had, cameraguygimmik photobombed me.
The next was fantastic. Arez, the King of Strange Style, vs Laredo Kid, a fan favorite. I'm not going to really break this match down or discuss it, because this is something I'd like to dedicate something in more detail to, because it was definitely a match that deserves more love than a few paragraphs. So we'll save this for later this week. Needless to say, this was an A++ match, with fan favorite Laredo Kid picking up the W.
The final match was the main event that stretched the full 60 minutes. If you didn't see this one, all I'm going to say is Josh Alexander lived up to his Walking Weapon name, and took a hell of a beating from Yehi, who took a hell of a beating from Josh. These two monsters absolutely destroyed one another. The pins, the near pins, the near submissions, I think killed everyone's energy, including the ref, by the time the show was done. In a good way. If you didn't see this, go get the PPV on Fite. You will not regret it, and every match in the show is worth the buy price. Go watch it. Watch them beat the hell out of each other, and watch the most amazing match I've seen in a long, long time..
So that's it for AAW. What did you think? Were you there? Did you watch on Fite? Drop a comment on Twitter! You can find me at
