We've got Freddie!
Chris (Pitt)
how do you set up a training camp? Do you just right in? Do you start easy and then increase intensity?
Freddie Roach
In this camp we jumped right in because he worked 4 weeks in the Philippines. He's alwyas in some sort of shape. The first day we went six rounds.
Nathan (Bay Area, CA)
Freddie, what in your power can you do to bring out the "old" Manny that wasn't as tame. As Nacho said before the last fight, a more conventional Manny is easier to fight than a wild Manny.
We're trying to bring back the old Manny, I told him if he knocks me down on the mitts, I'll give him $1,000.
Tommy (Dallas)
Freddie, did you run into Emmanuel Steward much? What were your thoughts on him?
I've him since 1976 when I fought against one of his boys. He used to call me the midget. We're going to miss him greatly.
Henry Bonner Jr (philadelphia pa)
@Freddie IMO what do you plan on doing to negate marquez from employing his ability to time and counter effectively manny..how woll you deal with marquez counter punching?...thanks
The most success we had with him was attacking him with fast combinations. I'm trying to get Manny to get that fire back.
Valentin Sandoval (Boise, Idaho)
Feddie, most of my friends aren't too fired up for this fight saying it is predictable being as these two have squared off three times already. I would have to say I tend to agree in a sense. So why should we be fired up for this one?
The thing about this fight is we need a KO to win. Marquez says he's looking for a KO. I think it will be a hard fought fight at the end. It's going to be a lot different than the last fight.
Nick (corona) [via mobile]
Are you worry about the judges if this fight goes the distance?
Yeah, I always worry about judges. They're human. They feel bad that maybe Marquez lost a couple of close ones. This one will have a Las Vegas judge, one non-Vegas judge and an international judge. We'll have a meeting and choose the officials. They are making some special requests for this fight.
Sam (San Jose (CA))
From a supersticious standpoint I wouldn't take any chances; Manny has had bad luck when wearing blue: Lackluster show v. Mosely, Lucky win that could have gone either way vs Marquez, and getting robbed by the judges vs Bradley. He was more vicious when wearing white, red, and black. your thoughts.
I'll tell him to stay away from the blue just for you.
Frank (New York, NY)
Will Manny finally see a doctor to get his legs checked out?
We've never had cramp problems in the gym, just when the fights start. He said he has a handle with it. We haven't had any problems at all yet and I don't think there will be.
Jack (Peoria)
In their last fight, Marquez seemed to back Pacquiao up after many of their exchanges on the inside. Do you think Marquez is more dangerous of a fighter to Pacquiao than he ever was?
Yeah, he's a lot bigger. I'm not sure if his punches are any bigger. He put on a lot of muscle weight. How he did that, we don't know. But he was a better puncher in the last fight, yes.
Rick (Laredo, Texas)
How has Many Pacquiao looked the last couple of weeks and what will be different this time around?
He's doing very well. We have some good sparring partners. I told him you promised me a knockout, so I want to see it in the gym. He's been putting it on the sparring partners. I'm happy where he's at.
JeanPierre Naranjo (Kissimmee, FL)
Should Pacquiao be looking to avenge the terrible decision loss against Bradley before he is done with boxing?
I don't think we need to, because the whole world knows we won that fight, that's why we're not fighting him now. We don't even take it as a loss.
I'd rather fight Rios.
There is a celtics game on the night of Mannys fight, are you gonna prevent him from watching it?
I'm not his babysitter, so he'll make that decision. I will be against it. I will ask the venue to not have TVs in the lockerroom. Thanks for the tip.
jason (toronto)
Do you think as Manny has gotten heavier and climbed up the weight classes, that has effected his style and number of punches thrown more so then his age
No, I think it's his age. I don't think it's the weight gain. He still walks around at 138. But the thing is he's too compassionate.
Jarwan (New York)
Do you consider Marquez to be a better fighter than Floyd Mayweather Jr.?
A better counterpuncher.
FLO (NY)
Do you think Manny will retire soon? What are his reasons to keep boxing?
We haven't talked about how many fights are left. But it goes fight by fight at this point.
james (york, uk)
Freddie, has Wach got a shot against Wladimir in your expert opinion? thanks, sir
I don't think so, because I don't even know about Wach.
Matthew Dixon (Los Angeles CA)
What will Manny do differently this fight with Marquez that will make it end in a knockout??
Try quicker. When he hurts him, put the pressure on him. Don't pull up and lay off him. Be satisfied with it. He has the punching power to do it.
Walter E. Kurtz (Phoenix, AZ)
Freddie, do you think judges sometimes enter a fight with a bias for or against a particular fighter? How else to explain some of these bizarre decisions?
I think people are human and that does happen, yes. Some people like this or that.
Richie (Bronx ny)
What is pacquioa's most unused weapon?
I guess against Marquez he needs to use both hands. He hasn't done that with success. He needs a lot of combinations.
Freddie, Manny's best fight (for me) was the De La Hoya fight. He was so good with the in & out punching...why has he gone more stationary lately?
I thought was one of his best and greatest fights. I'm trying to bring that Manny back. I'm pushing him really hard on the mitts and in sparring. He's looking better and better.
Thanks for chatting Freddie!

Polarzerlegung ist ein Begriff aus der linearen Algebra und Funktionalanalysis, beides Teilgebiete der Mathematik. Er bezieht sich auf eine spezielle Zerlegung in ein Produkt von Matrizen mit reellen oder komplexen Einträgen, und in Verallgemeinerung von linearen Operatoren auf einem Hilbert-Raum. Die Polarzerlegung von Matrizen und Operatoren verallgemeinert die Polarzerlegung einer nichtverschwindenden komplexen Zahl  in das Produkt ihres Betrags  und einer Zahl  auf dem komplexen Einheitskreis, mit dem Argument  von , also .

Polarzerlegung reeller oder komplexer Matrizen

Ist  eine quadratische Matrix, so bezeichnet man als (rechte) Polarzerlegung eine Faktorisierung

,

wobei

 im reellen Fall  eine orthogonale und  eine positiv semidefinite symmetrische Matrix ist und
 im komplexen Fall  eine unitäre und  eine positiv semidefinite hermitesche Matrix ist.

Ist  invertierbar, so ist die Zerlegung eindeutig,  positiv definit und  bzw.  sind die orthogonalen bzw. unitären Matrizen mit dem geringsten bzw. größten Abstand zu .

Berechnung der Polarzerlegung

Die reellen Methoden sind ein Spezialfall der komplexen, wobei die adjungierte Matrix  dann gleich der transponierten Matrix  ist.

Über die Singulärwertzerlegung
Mit der Singulärwertzerlegung

kann man die Polarzerlegung als

 und

bestimmen.

Als iterative Bestimmung des symmetrischen Faktors
Die Matrix  kann als die eindeutig bestimmte positiv semidefinite Quadratwurzel von

bestimmt werden. Dazu kann das Heronsche Wurzelverfahren verallgemeinert werden zu

 und .

Ist  invertierbar, so konvergiert das Verfahren mit Grenzwert  und .

Als iterative Bestimmung des orthogonalen Faktors
Ein anderes aus dem Heronschen Wurzelziehen abgeleitetes Verfahren bestimmt den unitären Faktor  als Grenzwert der Rekursion
 und .
Diese ist lokal quadratisch konvergent. Zur Beschleunigung der globalen Konvergenz, insbesondere falls alle Singulärwerte von  sehr groß oder alle sehr klein sind, reskaliert man die Iteration zu
,
wobei  nahe dem geometrischen Zentrum der Singulärwerte von  liegen sollte und durch Kombinationen verschiedener Matrixnormen von  und deren Inverser geschätzt werden kann. Vorgeschlagen wurden unter anderem die Faktoren

mit den Zeilen- und Spaltensummennormen sowie

mit der Frobeniusnorm.

Polarzerlegung von Operatoren

Eine (linke bzw. rechte) Polarzerlegung eines stetigen linearen Operators  auf einem Hilbertraum, das heißt , ist
eine der folgenden multiplikativen Zerlegungen:

.

Hier sind  und  positive Operatoren, die mittels des stetigen Funktionalkalküls gebildet werden,
und  ist eine partielle Isometrie, das heißt
. Zu jedem stetigen linearen Operator auf einem Hilbertraum existiert eine solche Polarzerlegung. Statt  schreibt man auch . Wenn  invertierbar ist, so auch  und  ist unitär.

Anwendungsbeispiel

In der Kontinuumsmechanik findet die "polare Zerlegung" des Deformationsgradienten eine Anwendung in der Beschreibung von Deformationen und den daraus definierten Verzerrungstensoren.

Around 1570, the shop-keepers that sold products to farmers started holding a sale at the end of the year of material that was old and tattered or "boro."
"Suki" means spade and "yaki" means roast. Some think that a metal spade used to be used to cook beef and that's where it got its name.

What is the word that describes a lover of general science?
If you're looking to boast about science you could compare the enthusiast to a philocaly (lover of beauty). Not all of these nouns end in 'phil' but they do contain it. Philomath can also be defined specifically as a lover of maths and sciences. You could also try looking for a word that contains the suffix '-mania'.

Crown Shyness
By (author): Curtis Gillespie
Softcover | Publication Date: June 18, 2007
Book Dimensions: 6 in x 9 in
Paul Munk is a socially conscious idealist, leaning left in his political convictions. In Crown Shyness, his skills as a writer for a current affairs magazine have garnered him an assignment that will challenge his relationships, present and future: to follow and profile Daniel Code, a member of the religious right who believes he has been called upon by God to lead his political party to national power. A growing attraction to Code's daughter—and media handler—Rachel, complicates Paul's intent to broil the candidate publicly. Meanwhile, Paul's family is disconnected by the same issues of faith and politics and is forced to adjust to one son's release from prison. Richard Munk, Paul's older brother, has served his time behind bars and is now intent on rebuilding his life with an American woman with whom he has corresponded.

Fake Ecstasy tablets warning
Wednesday, 19, June, 2013, Wednesday, 19, June, 2013,
Safer New Forest
Fake Ecstasy tablets, which can cause hallucinations and possible fatal effects, are in circulation in the South and should not be used.
Solent NHS Trust Drug & Alcohol Recovery Service has warned that the highly toxic yellow "Mitsubishi" tablets contain a hallucinogenic substance and have been linked to several deaths.
The fake Ecstasy drugs are active even in low doses and can cause mental confusion and distressing auditory and visual hallucinations.
Cllr Jill Cleary, New Forest District Council's portfolio holder for housing and communities, said: "If you are offered these fake Ecstasy drugs, or have already bought some, please do not use them.
"They are very potent and have toxic side effects, which could prove fatal. It's not worth the risk, just say no."
Cllr Di Brooks, New Forest District Council's portfolio holder for health and wellbeing, added: "Drug use can put enormous strain on the body, lead to mental illness and can sometimes be fatal. I would encourage anyone who has a dependency on drugs to access the help that is available locally. Advice, support or treatment for drug use is available from the NHS or organisations such as local youth charity, It's Your Choice. You can call them in confidence for free on 0800 515 819."
The Safer New Forest Partnership urges anybody who comes into contact with these drugs to contact Solent NHS Trust Drug & Alcohol Recovery Service on 023 9268 3371 – there is a 24 hours helpline.
If you are offered these drugs, please contact Hampshire police on 101 (999 in an emergency.

Hie Jinja Shrine – serenity in the midst of Tokyo
Hie Jinja shrine provides an oasis of nature, tranquillity and traditional Japan in the midst of modern Tokyo. Located in Nagatcho, the Japanese seat of government, it sits amongst the sky scrappers and hubbub of the city that has grown up around it. The shrine is also just a short walk from the busy Akasaka-Mitsuke subway station and the modern business district of Akasaka.
We had a bit of a wander around Akasaka after breakfast one morning and found this beautiful tunnel of tori reminiscent of the Fushimi Inari shrines walkways which felt quite traditional and I couldn't resist a wander through. It turns out we arrived via a side entrance which is OK. You should always enter a shrine through a tori but it doesn't have to be the front one. Had we arrived at the front we'd have got quite a different first impression. The modern concrete tori, wide steps and escalators have a very different feel. Surely this is the only shrine I've seen with escalators!
Hie Jinja Shrine was established in 1478 and at one time stood within the grounds of Edo Castle (now the Tokyo Imperial Palace). It was moved there in 1604 by Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1659 it was moved to its present location by his son Tokugawa Hidetada for use by the people of Tokyo. If the shrine feels new despite its impressive history it's because its current buildings date to 1958 when it was rebuilt after WW2.
The Tokugawa shoguns and later Emperor Meiji continue to have an important connection with the shrine and have dedicated a number of historically significant weapons that can be viewed in the shrine museum although I don't think they are all on display all of the time. One of the swords in now a National Treasure and 14 others including a pole weapon called a naginata are classed as important cultural assets.
The main diety of the shrine is known as Oyamakui-no-kami or Sanno and is the Kami of Mt Hiei in Shiga Prefecture. His messenger is the monkey which is why the monkey features heavily in this shrine in place of more common shrine animals such as the fox. Masaru, the sacred monkey and protector stands as guardian at the main gate and with his family on either side of the entrance to the main shrine. People will often come here to pray for a happy marriage and for fertility.
Hie Jinja isn't a large shrine or well known by tourists but it was a first ranked shrine that protected the city for many years. It continues to host one of Tokyo's three most important festivals, the Sanno festival which is in the June of every even-numbered year.
It takes a full day for the 600-metre long procession of 300 participants in historical dress and portable shrines to cover the 20km round circuit and return to the shrine. In the Edo period, the festival (matsuri) was distinguished by being allowed to pass through the grounds of Edo Castle.
While Hie Jinja Shrine doesn't have the drama of some others around the country its history is fascinating and having the opportunity to view it during cherry blossom season was a bonus. I have to admit to being a huge sakura fan. Everything just looks that little bit more special bathed in the pink petals.
Hie Jinja Shrine is one of the most important shrines in Tokyo. Let me know if the comments if you have been there or seen the Sanno Festival?

Asian long eggplant performs best on sandy or sandy loam soils that provide good drainage and favourable soil temperatures. Transplants are most commonly planted onto raised beds covered with black plastic mulch. Two staggered rows are planted on each bed once the risk of frost has passed. Rows are spaced 30 cm apart with in-row spacing of 35 to 45 cm.
Asian long eggplant is highly susceptible to Fusarium and Verticillium wilt. Growers are advised to have their fields tested for the presence of these pathogens prior to planting to determine the level of risk posed.
Fumigation is an effective measure to control both Fusarium and Verticillium wilt. At Vineland's Research Farm, trials were set up to evaluate the impact of fumigation on the performance of Asian long eggplant. Under moderate disease pressure (Fusarium sp.) a 52 per cent increase in marketable yield was achieved when eggplant was planted on fumigated versus non-fumigated land (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Comparison of Long Purple F1 yield on fumigated compared to non-fumigated land.
There are no specific recommendations for Asian long eggplant in Canada. In general, eggplant requires 120 to 140 kg/Ha of nitrogen. Fertility trials showed that non-grafted plants performed best when 125 kg/Ha of nitrogen was applied while grafted eggplant required up to 150 kg/Ha of nitrogen to achieve the highest yields (Figure 2).
Initially 50 kg/Ha of nitrogen was broadcast onto the field together with phosphorus and potassium as required per soil test recommendations. The remaining nitrogen was applied through weekly fertigation events starting two weeks after transplanting. Between 5 and 7.5 kg of nitrogen in the form of potassium nitrate is recommended per hectare per week through the summer.
Figure 2: Nitrogen response curve illustrating eggplant yields at increasing nitrogen rates.
Asian long eggplant can be divided into two categories: Japanese long and Chinese long. The Japanese long eggplant are characterized by a dark purple skin, while the Chinese-type showcase a lighter purple skin. Understanding market demands is crucial in selecting the appropriate varieties for production. In all trials, Orient Express F1 has consistently been the highest yielding variety of Japanese-type long eggplant.
Row covers are a useful tool to enable early planting of Asian long eggplant and extend the field season. The covers protect young transplants from weather damage (frost, rain) early in the growing season. Planting occurred two weeks earlier with row covers compared to no covers. The use of floating row covers increased eggplant yield by 30 per cent over a growing season compared to that obtained when no covers were used (black plastic) (Figure 3). No yield benefits were obtained when perforated plastic covers were used.
Figure 3: Marketable yield of eggplant when perforated plastic and cloth row covers were used compared to no cover (black plastic). All treatments were planted on raised beds covered with black plastic mulch.
Asian long eggplant is most successfully established from transplants, started six to eight weeks prior to transplanting. Young seedlings are susceptible to frost damage, so unless protective row covers are used, no plantings should take place until the risk of frost has passed. When grafted plants are used in production, scions (varieties) are seeded 10 to 14 days before rootstocks so the same thickness of stem is achieved at the time of grafting.
At Vineland, we evaluated the effects of grafting Asian long eggplant on different rootstocks. Among the measures taken, we compared total marketable yields of four rootstocks over two growing seasons. There was a 72 per cent increase when Long Purple was grafted onto Maxifort rootstock compared to the non-grafted control (Figure 4). Similar yield increases were also observed for Asia Beauty. A 38 per cent increase in yield was also found between grafted and non-grafted controls of Long Purple on fumigated land, suggesting that rootstock not only protects against pathogens but also improves plant vigour and yield. Maxifort also adds a high resistance to Fusarium races 1 and 2, Fusarium root rot, nematodes, corky root rot, tobacco mosaic virus and Verticillium wilt. Disease resistance is not transferred to the scion.
Figure 4: Yields of grafted Long Purple and Asia Beauty on four tomato rootstocks and native roots in 2016.
While the selection of varieties that have the right specifications to meet market demand is crucial, the selection of the rootstock to support the chosen variety is also important, as interactions between variety and rootstock can vary. Figure 5 illustrates the yield of different eggplant varieties as influenced by rootstock.
Figure 5: Marketable yield of Asia Beauty, Long Purple and Orient Express on four tomato rootstocks.
Staking eggplant is necessary to help protect plants and fruit from wind damage, which in turn will yield higher quality marketable fruit. When grafted plants are used, trellising is essential as plants are generally taller and more prone to uprooting.
Two common methods of staking, fencing and Florida weaving, were evaluated (Figure 6). Results indicate that the use of the Florida weaving method can increase marketable yield by up to 23 per cent over plants where no trellising was done. To learn more how to use Florida weave, click here.
Figure 6: Comparison of total marketable yields of Asian long eggplant when using fencing and Florida weaving trellis methods to support plants compared to a no trellis system (control).
A regular scouting program should be used throughout the summer to detect, identify and treat (if necessary) pests quickly to avoid economic loss. It is important to examine both the upper and lower sides of leaves when looking for pests such as aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, two-spotted spider mites, Japanese beetle, Colorado potato beetle, cutworms, flea beetle, whitefly and tarnished plant bug. Verticillium wilt, damping-off and root rots, anthracnose, early blight and Phomopsis blight are also the most commonly found eggplant diseases in Canada. Monitoring involves the examination of 10 to 15 plants per hectare in four random locations evenly distributed throughout the field ensuring that the plants at the edges and in the middle of the field are included.
For specialty eggplant, consult the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' Publication 838, Vegetable Crop Protection Guide — 2014-2015. This crop is in Crop Group 8-09: Fruiting Vegetables Group and subgroup 8-09B: Pepper/Eggplant Subgroup and subgroup 8-09C: Non-bell Pepper/Eggplant Subgroup. For a full list of registered pesticides for eggplant click here.
It is essential to harvest eggplant regularly, as fruit quickly become overgrown and unmarketable. Ideally, eggplant should be harvested every second or third day. Both Japanese and Chinese long eggplant are harvested when fruit reaches a length of 23 to 35.5 cm and a diameter of 4.4 to 5.7 cm. Fruit with scratches and excessive curving are not marketable through most retail outlets.
Eggplant is susceptible to chilling injury and should be stored between 10 and 12oC. For more information on postharvest handling of eggplant, click here.
Asian eggplant varieties are mostly produced in the field and limited information exists on greenhouse hydroponic production. The goal of this project was to assess various varieties of Asian long eggplant and determine their suitability for hydroponic production in a greenhouse. In general, production techniques are similar to those used for tomatoes, with crop-specific adaptations for fertigation. Bees are used to pollinate the crop, and should be used at the same release rate/acre as recommended for tomatoes.
Careful considerations must be given to selecting the right type and variety of eggplant for production in a greenhouse. Asian eggplant can be grouped into three types: Japanese long (dark skin), Chinese long (light purple) and Indian round.
In this study, a target was set to achieve a yield of at least 30 kg/m2. Only the Japanese-style long eggplant variety Orient Express consistently achieved this goal, and even surpassed this target in trials that were run in 2016, where yields of greater than 35 kg/m2 were achieved (data not shown).
In 2015, Vineland ran two six-month crop cycles in an older greenhouse and nine varieties across all three Asian eggplant categories were tested to identify those best suited to greenhouse hydroponic cultivation that also had the right retail specifications. Figure 1 illustrates the yield of tested varieties during a six-month crop cycle.
Three long eggplant varieties with the requisite consumer and production traits were identified for further testing in Vineland's Collaborative Greenhouse Technology Centre: Orient Express (Japanese long), Asia Beauty and Long Purple (Chinese long) (Figure 1). Chu-Chu (Indian round) was also included for comparison (see section on Indian round eggplant for more details).
It was also determined that grafting has a positive effect on yield and without grafting, greenhouse production is unlikely to be successful.
Figure 1: Yield of each eggplant variety tested in a six-month production trial run from January to June, 2015. Note the higher yields obtained from grafted versus non-grafted (on own roots) long eggplant varieties. Chu Chu (Indian round) did not show a similar yield response when grafted.
Eggplant is grown hydroponically in a greenhouse using similar techniques to those used for tomatoes. Eggplant have to be grafted onto disease-tolerant rootstock to boost vigour and protect against root pathogens. Eggplant (scion) seeds are sown into sheets of rockwool to germinate. Tomato (or compatible eggplant) rootstocks are sown in the same manner seven to 10 days after the eggplant scions emerge and cotyledons have opened. Rootshield® WP (BioWorks) should be applied to tomato rootstock rockwool sheets seven days prior to grafting to aid in the healthy establishment of roots. Grafting is usually completed four weeks after sowing eggplant seeds as per instructions found in the Washington State University fact sheet (Washington State University Extension Fact Sheet FS052E, 2011). Immediately after grafting, Previcur® N (Bayer CropScience) is applied and seedlings are placed in a healing chamber at 20 to 21oC with 80 to 95 % RH. Fertilizer is not added during the germination and healing process. After healing, grafted plants can be removed from the healing chamber and planted in the greenhouse.
Rootstocks not only help manage pathogens such as Verticillium and Fusarium wilt, but also boost plant vigour. The effect of rootstock on marketable yield of eggplant was studied in Vineland's pre-commercial greenhouse.
Of the Asian long eggplant tested, Orient Express was the highest yielding variety and gave a yield of more than 30 kg/m2 when averaged over two growing seasons (Figure 2). Overall, the highest yields (for all varieties) were obtained when scions were grafted onto the general tomato rootstock DR0141TX.
Figure 2: Average yields of Asian long eggplant during the 2016 and 2017 growing seasons.
Grafted plants are transplanted into rockwool blocks immediately after healing. Once roots establish in the blocks, plants are placed on coconut fibre slabs with a plant density of 2.7 plants/m2. In 2017, a trial was undertaken to determine if a higher plant density (3.6 plants/m2) could drive up yields in the non-vigorous Orient Express eggplant. Planting took place nearly one month later than in 2016 and light levels were low compared to the 2016 growing season. As a result, yields were generally much lower. The highest yield of 24.57 kg/m2 was obtained when Orient Express was grafted onto DR0141TX rootstock at 3.6 plants/m2 (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Orient Express yield on three rootstocks at two plant densities (data from 2017 trials).
Plants were pinched to force two heads from the first fork of the eggplant scion. To balance the initial fruit set of Asian long varieties, flowers at the second node of the first head were removed. The first and third flowers on the second head were also removed. All flowers were pruned to leave one flower at each node after the plants were balanced.
Eggplant scions will continue to grow and it has been documented at Vineland that they can reach a height of above six metres (Figure 4) on DR0141TX rootstock. Plants therefore must be clipped or wrapped using twine, applying similar plant management practices as those used for tomatoes. When the growing tips of the scion reach the trellis wire, plants should be carefully lowered.
Figure 4: Plant heights recorded at the end of the 2017 season for each variety and rootstock.
A fertigation schedule is required to maintain high eggplant yields in the greenhouse. Eggplant's nutrient requirements are akin to those of tomatoes, and a similar fertilizer regime should be followed. It is recommended to hire a crop consultant to tailor a fertilizer recipe specific to individual greenhouse needs. At Vineland, we followed the fertigation schedule shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Fertilizer schedule for greenhouse eggplant during growth phases.
Scouting is an important practice to detect and identify pests quickly to avoid crop damage and economic loss. Both upper and lower sides of leaves should be carefully examined for commonly found insects including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, fungus gnats, shoreflies and spider mites.
Fungus gnats (Sciara sp.), shore flies (Scatella stagnalis), red morph green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae), thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), Echinothrips (Echinothrips americanus) and whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci, Trialeurodes vaporariorum) were found on the crop throughout the course of this project.
Biological controls such as Aphidius colemani, Orius insidiosus, Atheta coriaria, Delaphastus catalinae, Neoseiulus californicus, Amblyseius swirskii, Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus were released regularly to prevent pest outbreaks. Chemical controls included applications of Floramite©, Shuttle©, Previcur©, Kontos©, Botanigard© and Fontelis© when pest populations or disease pressure increased beyond an acceptable threshold. Ensure compatibility of all products selected (including fungicides) with all the biocontrol agents being used to avoid negative side effects. Consult biocontrol companies' 'Side Effects Guides' for information to aid selection.

Click here for a complete list of registered pesticides for eggplant. Read each label thoroughly to determine if the pesticide is registered for greenhouse use.
Eggplant were harvested three times weekly. It is important to have regular harvest intervals for Asian long eggplant cultivars, as fruit can quickly become oversized and unmarketable. To meet retailers' specifications, Asian long eggplant must be harvested with a diameter of 4.4 to 5.7 cm and a length of 23 to 35.5 cm.
The 2017 yields were considerably lower than those obtained in 2016. There were two reasons for this: planting occurred a month later in 2017 and growing conditions, especially light levels were not as good as in 2016. Orient Express was the only variety in the trials that yielded more than 30 kg/m2.
Of the rootstock tested, DR0141TX was consistently the best followed by Maxifort and Kaiser (Figure 5). In 2017 under adverse growing conditions, DR0141TX held up better then Maxifort. Additional work is required to further refine production recommendations for greenhouse eggplant.
Figure 5. Marketable yield of Orient Express eggplant on three different rootstocks.
To maintain a high quality of fruit, it is beneficial to harvest in the morning when it is cool, keep eggplant out of direct sunlight and minimize rough handling of the crop. By transporting eggplant quickly to a sorting facility, it is possible to remove damaged and diseased fruit to avoid the spread of postharvest pathogens that can render eggplant unmarketable.
Following harvest, it is important to bring down the eggplant temperature to between 10 and 12oC as quickly as possible to maintain quality. Temperatures below this range can cause chilling injury while temperatures above increase respiration rate leading to a shorter shelf life.

Damage Quotes
It's true that Blake was emotionally disturbed - always has been - but he doesn't have murder in his heart. If he was going to do any damage to anything or anyone, it would be to himself.
The last time I spoke with Robert was back in May. When his wife was murdered, I talked to several radio stations in defense of him because I know how Bobby Blake really is, and as far as I'm concerned, there's no murder in his heart.
Brother Quotes
I haven't seen a professional player come out of New York in over 20 years since my brother Patrick came out. Blake spent a few years in Harlem, but he moved to Connecticut when he was a kid.
Musicians like James Blake were a big influence on me. How he uses his vocals is amazing. And then Yeasayer and Animal Collective, who aren't pop bands exactly, but they do something that is so catchy and undeniable and so much fun.
Country Quotes
I totally think there was a country hair phase. If you look at all the mullets, and Dolly Parton, and Reba's hair, Tim McGraw's hair, Blake Shelton's hair, they definitely had their moments.
Became Quotes
We are proud of Blake Field, ... He became our starter with an hour's notice. He did a great job handling the football.
We started finding out a little bit about Blake Field's nerves.
Cast Quotes
What we're seeing is the trashing of her nationwide. She was a good woman and ... my information is that Mr. Blake shouldn't be the first one to cast stones.
Cary Goldstein
We felt like Blake is much better prepared mentally, physically. He's had an excellent summer working out, and it's clear to all of us here that he's our best guy to go out there. So when it's obvious, we've named him the starter. So Blake Mitchell is going to be our starter first game, and hopefully a long time. We'll go from there. Back-ups we don't know yet, we're trying a lot of guys right there. But Blake's earned it and he's our starter.
Came Quotes
Yes, if it came with a tag saying that Robert Blake is a murderer.
Care Quotes
Yes, he told me that Mr. Blake was willing to put up with Bonny in order to take care of the child,
Jim King
Entitled Quotes
The fact that Robert Blake wants a do-over doesn't mean that he's entitled to one. The fact that Mr. Blake is not happy about his legacy is something Mr. Blake should have thought of before he killed his wife.
Apartment Quotes
On a gay situation, I think we set a trend too. I remember how Blake Carrington in Dynasty hated his son being gay. And the son finally moved out and Blake was mean to his son's lover, but in the last show, I'll never forget that, Blake visited the apartment his son and his lover were living in. They were expecting trouble and hell, but nothing happened and he kissed his son.
Build Quotes
Sidney Rice and Blake and all those guys had some super performances, ... Sidney, you know they're trying to stop him. He's close to unstoppable. Everybody's stoppable but he's some player. Little Kenny McKinley made a bunch of key catches all over the place. It was a fun game. This was big for our football program and the University of South Carolina. Hopefully we can gain some confidence and build on it, and not let it get to us.
Mr. Blake will tell you he was medicated.
Peter Ezzell
Allowed Quotes
Mr. Blake is attentive, visible and enthusiastic in this support and knows the benefits of participation in athletics. He will quickly say that his involvement in athletics taught many valuable lessons not learned in a classroom setting and allowed his success later in life.
I have every reason to believe that Robert Blake will make good on this judgment.
Background Quotes
I'd like to give Pat Blake a chance, to hear what his strategic vision is for the company. But I go into it with apprehension knowing Roger (Curry) had a good background and a good track record. Why is Pat going to succeed where someone like Roger didn't?
Doug Rockel
Allen Quotes
I don't know who mentioned William Blake first, but Allen talked about his visions of Blake and I told him about my dreams of being Blake." ()
Michael McClure
Certainly Quotes
Certainly, Blake has improved. He has certainly learned what's going on, and he should play much, much better this year. I hope we have some coaches around here so our guys improve from one year to the next.
Felt Quotes
I felt okay after the 22 miles, actually better than I thought I would. Blake felt worse than I did, so in a way that made me actually feel better.
If Blake were completely out for three or four weeks, I think we'd play Cade and see what he can do. I really believe in his third, fourth, fifth year, he can really be an outstanding player here.
Athletic Quotes
If Blake (was) not a soccer player, he'd fit in on the football team as a wide receiver or defensive back because he's that athletic and, quite honestly, that tough.
Dave Shelbourne
He was very emotional when he first saw Blake in the hospital. But now he helps out with his brother's exercising and pushes his wheelchair, too.
He handled the ball really well and played solid defense. Blake has had a good game the last two nights, and Ryan did a lot of little things right.
Both Quotes

He's always been a real dangerous player, ... You never know when somebody comes of age or game. (For) some people, it happens a lot earlier than others. I haven't played him in a while. Certainly watching his wins over the last couple weeks have been great, not only here, but also in New Haven (where Blake won the title). He just looks like he's doing a lot of things well. There's no question he's doing something better than he used to do.
He's a three-year starter going into his fourth year. That's amazing nowadays, a four-year starter. It just doesn't happen every day. Blake has no starts. None of our quarterbacks have played much at all, so it will be interesting. Hopefully, they'll play like they're capable.
Door Quotes
He leads the team in scoring, and he has opened the door for Drew Garner, who has scored in double digits in goals. Blake Riggins has done a remarkable job as keeper with his physical presence. He is a great athlete.
Howard McNeill
Line Quotes
I would take Blake shooting a wide-open 3, I would put me back on the line again. I'd do everything the same way.
Deke Thompson
Performance Quotes
I thought Blake played very well for his first performance, and, really, for any performance,
Defend Quotes
I think Blake made some big plays defensively down the stretch. Overall, we didn't defend as we would like.
Terri Johnson
Becomes Quotes
Jeff Blake is not only one of Sony's greatest assets, but I think he is recognized industry wide as one of the best in the business. As the marketing landscape changes and becomes more and more fragmented and the exhibition community faces the challenge of converting to digital cinema, there is no one better to guide us than Jeff Blake. He is truly second to no one and he inspires those around him to do their best work. We couldn't be more proud to recognize his extraordinary contributions with this promotion.
Michael Lynton
Christ Quotes
I sang 'O Holy Night' with the Vatican orchestra, but also a Blake - a lullaby that William Blake wrote for the Christ child, and I set it to music, and the Vatican orchestra played the music.
Acting Quotes
Robert Blake realizes the importance to his future acting prospects of not being proven a murderer in a court of law. He also wants to avoid the stigma that O.J. Simpson got after his civil conviction.
Began Quotes
Roald Dahl worked with other illustrators, but it was only when he teamed up with Quentin Blake that the chemistry began to fizz. Quentin Blake is Britain's greatest living illustrator and has that special talent all the great illustrators have, of unobtrusive brilliance.
Mark did exactly what we needed him to do and that was wrestle aggressively and make sure those kids don't think they have a chance. Blake is always a little bit nervous in the first match and we got him through that and he really wrestled well after that.
Asking Quotes
Maybe I'm asking Blake to do things that are a little too difficult right now,
That was really something for Blake to come back and beat a kid he lost to earlier. That's good for the program.
Guy Brickell
That?s three great matches he?s wrestled for us (since a shoulder injury). Blake is a four-time state champion. He knows how to win.
Russ Hellickson
Assisting Quotes
We are behind Blake 100 percent. This is not an uncommon step for a player of Blake's caliber. We are assisting Blake and his family throughout every step of this decision-making process.
Wait Quotes
We'll wait and see if he can play or not, ... Antonio will be our quarterback if Blake can't go.
We found a way to win and that's the main thing. I don't like the way that we let them comeback, but we did find a way to win. Blake Roberts came in at the end and shut them down for two innings.
We played a heck of a good team and beat them in a hostile environment. After Blake fouled out, the other guys stepped up.
Doubles Quotes
We worked really hard with the doubles this year and we played better, we just couldn't get over the hump. Scott Conner moves on, and Blake Douglas set a school record for wins at the No. 2 spot, ... I'm pleased with the effort, we just couldn't get over the hump.
Jim Cook
Voice Quotes
But Blake's voices returned to dictate revisions.
Bigger Quotes
We were very keen to get a big Kiwi . . . they are like gold as there are so few genuine big guys in the local scene. For Blake to now have citizenship makes him an even bigger asset.
Basically Quotes
When you have guys like Dixon and Blake basically have career nights, that really sets you on the edge as a team. We didn't come out with the intent to play defense tonight.
We had a three-month trial. The jury took two weeks in deciding that Robert Blake killed his wife. The fact that Robert Blake wants a do-over does not mean he's entitled to one. He's no different than anybody else. He had his day in court, and he lost.
Balls Quotes
We'll have to see how it all plays out. Certainly Blake is our starter. He threw some errant balls out there today. Blake didn't play his best; he knows that. He's still the starter, but it was encouraging that Cade sort of proved that if something happens he can go play. We thought he would be. We'll try to get Cade as ready as possible. He's definitely second right now.
Case Quotes
The public has lost interest. They'd much rather hear about the Robert Blake murder case or what is happening on Wall Street. A feeling is creeping back in that if you lead foreign, you die.
Clint Quotes
This team fought hard all night. We are a very confident club right now. Last night it was Clint Robinson with the big hit. Tonight it was Blake Green that delivered big.
Mike Felix
Definition Quotes
We tell our guys that great players make great plays on great days. That is the definition of Blake Roberts tonight.
Crew Quotes
We've been talking about Blake Young and Demetrius Green to our players for about a week or so now. But I think we showed we have a pretty good crew of guards, too.
Blast Quotes
We tried to overpass it instead of shoot when we saw them break their sticks. We should have just got it back to Blake and let him blast it.
Conduct Quotes
We expected Mr. Blake to conduct himself in a professional manner.
David Lopez
We're trying to get Blake quicker, quicker, quicker. He needs to get rid of the ball quicker. His throwing motion needs to be quicker. His decision-making needs to be quicker. Other than that, he's ready.
We feel that Bonny was murdered twice -- once in the car and once on the stand. I plan on proving Robert Blake to be a murderer in July.
Add Quotes
We are very proud to add Blake Dunaway to our Faulkner club. He represents what we want as a baseball player, but more importantly he represents what we look for in an individual.
Additional Quotes
We are very pleased that the Wizards did not match and that Steve Blake is now part of the Trail Blazers family, ... As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a National Championship. With his two seasons at Washington, he adds to the limited experience of a young team and we know he will bring additional energy and enthusiasm to our training camp
Appears Quotes
Brian Blake appears to us to have the perfect background from his 17 years at Gucci in product areas where Burberry is still relatively weak, that is accessories and watches.
Claire Kent
Brett has done a little bit better. I would say if you had to rank them, that's the way it would be - Blake and Cade and Brett and Tommy.
Ben Quotes
Ben made Blake work for every shot. Ben and Blake know each other inside-out.
Ben and Blake are two very talented newcomers. Ben has an incredible work ethic. He's always here, always working hard. Blake works here as a lifeguard and we conned him into swimming.
Charlie Bowman
Blake went out and got some experience, which I think he needed in case something happens. That's one positive that came out of it. I'll be back at practice on Tuesday and I think we'll pick back up where we left off.
Comrade Quotes
Blake wasn't really merely my student. He was a comrade and friend.
Angels Quotes
Blake was mad, they say, -- and Space's Pandora-boxLoosed its wonders upon him -- devils, but angels indeed.
Blake was mad, they say, -- and Space's Pandora-box Loosed its wonders upon him -- devils, but angels indeed.
Activist Quotes
Blake was an activist and artist whose lifestyle truly reflected his values. He was the lead singer of Parallax, whose (song) lyrics involve a deep reflection on the alienation produced by our consumerist society. Of all the students I have had over my six years at UVSC, Blake was the most authentic.

Ankle Quotes
Blake twisted his ankle. I don't know bad it is. He's on crutches. They say there's no fracture and that it's an ankle sprain.
Changed Quotes
Blake takes a nice shot, and I think that changed the momentum of the hockey game. We just couldn't find our way back into it.
Andre Quotes
Blake said Saturday. ''That match, it just seemed like everything was going right for me, as it did today similarly. But, you know, it was emotional to really beat Andre Agassi, someone I idolized.
Played Quotes
Blake really played well. He shot it so well today.
Doug Armstrong
Anchors Quotes
Blake really anchors our defense. On multiple occasions he's saved my butt. A big reason why teams have a hard time scoring on us is because they don't get a lot of points in the paint. That's Blake's doing.
Kane Moix
Chance Quotes
Blake Quarles went out and gave us a chance early. I think our guys fed off that.
Craig Gibson
Across Quotes
Blake Martin's a great pitcher. The problem with him was that he hadn't thrown strikes in the past. Today he did. When he throws the ball across the plate he's a very, very good pitcher. You've got to tip your hat to him.
Joe Hudak
Blake is scheduled to go about as long as he can, and we'll go from there.
Blake is No. 1 and Graeme is No. 1-A.
Arm Quotes
Blake is going to be our starting third baseman. He's on a mission. I told him third base could be his position because he has an outstanding arm and feet and he took it to heart. I think he's one to watch out for.
Added Quotes
Blake is coming in with some added maturity and he's been working pretty well. Each year he has improved, so we're looking for good things from him. He has a good idea of what we want to get done on offense. He has a good handle with it.
Rod Losier
Blake is a very versatile guard who has the ability to play both the point and shooting guard spots.
Coaches Quotes
Blake is a team player. He'll play a role, do the things coaches want him to do.
Might Quotes
Blake has improved, as a player, probably the most. He might be first and second.
Terry Hoeppner
Blake has come a long way, and I think he can go farther.
Blake had a monster game. They were smart and double- and triple-teamed him, but he found ways to get around them and eventually just wore them down. He came through for us, but we just dug ourselves a hole in the third quarter.
Basic Quotes
Blake got a good pitch away. It's the basic hitting approach. You can call it a flare but it got the job done.
Jim Schmitz
Blake felt a little pressure and held it too long. He's learning. He's hanging in there.
Battle Quotes
Blake did what we needed him to do for us tonight. My nerves were a little shabby at the beginning of the game, but it's good to know that we have a guy that will go out and battle for us. He's going to give us a chance to win every time he takes the mound.
B. R. Hayden
Again Quotes
Blake did well. It was his first start. We had been trying to go with him in a closing role. It was something he had not done before, and he was evidently not comfortable with that. But he threw much better in a starting role, so he probably has earned himself an opportunity to do it again for sure.
Blake can't really speak to us, but he understands us when we talk to him. We maintain (hope) by keeping God, family and friends in our life.
Continue Quotes
Blake and I have been playing with each other since his freshman year and my sophomore year (at Maryland) so we have lots of fun playing with one another. We understand each other and the game. We've learned a lot since we've been in the game so hopefully we can continue to push the young guys on the team and hopefully we can continue to get better.
Although Quotes
Did you tell the National Enquirer, 'What's more, although Blake claims a man was stalking Bonny in the days before her grisly murder, the housekeeper never saw any individual'
Chris Quotes
I spoke to Rob Blake , Chris Pronger , Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan last night, I think we all had the same issues about the process. Our whole point was that things weren't done right.
Tie Domi
I selected Blake to be my fifth shooter, knowing that he can handle that kind of pressure. He's had some big kicks for the football team, but I can't imagine he's had a bigger one in the last year than that.
Mark Nirrengarten
The way our pass protection is right now, I don't know if Blake could last anyway.
Drives Quotes
The success of this team is what drives Jacob. We will have all-state and all-conference players and when we look back, we will all know that Blake Jacobs has been very valuable for us.
Marty Barnes
I've always known how talented James Blake is. It's not that his game is different. It's his demeanor.
Luke Jensen
Absolutely Quotes
Dr. Blake and Dr. Butt told us that there's absolutely nothing of forensic value in Lynne Harper's grave and, frankly, they never expected it, and neither did I. They certainly told me in advance that nothing would be found. I think it was really a matter of common sense that it wouldn't be.
James Lockyer
Besides Quotes
Coming into this year nobody was really looking at us as a good team. I feel good about this team. It's just we're really untested as far as going into a big match like a conference or regional (tournament) besides Blake and Ted.

If the weather changes, the integrated rain cover stops your equipment getting wet. The rucksack also includes a bike tool organiser roll that fits into its own storage compartment so you always know where your tools are. The supporting waist belt, the two sternum straps and the unified carrying strap mean that your rucksack will always stay where it belongs. The compression straps keep everything tight together so it's not left hanging on branches.

At 7 p.m., his eyes were on the Super Bowl. By 10 p.m., he'd never play football again
Joe Theissman was at the height of his NFL career with the Washington Redskins. But one infamous play brought it all to a screeching halt.
Author: Samantha Kubota, Jesse Burkett-Hall, Josh Bernstein

Updated: 9:04 PM EST February 5, 2019
WASHINGTON — WARNING: Graphic video of injury in video.
The inside of RFK Stadium has seen better days.
The cavernous building, once filled with adoring fans, is now empty on most days. The field is covered with a tarp for the winter, many of the seats considered unsafe for sitting, and paint peeling from the walls.
Some offices remain open and operational, almost surprisingly full of life and cheery employees, while much of the stadium shows its age.
"She's an old girl, isn't she?" Joe Theismann said happily as he walked into the building on a sunny and cold December morning. "What a great place this is. I mean, it's really special."
Theismann knows exactly what made this place so special. For years, he took to the field in a Washington Redskins uniform as quarterback.
"It was a special feeling when you walk out on this football field and you feel the energy and you see the familiar faces," he reminisced.
That is, until one ill-fated play changed everything.
On Nov. 18, 1985, Theismann took the snap and dropped back. The pocket started to collapse and before he knew it, someone grabbed his left shoulder and swung him around.
It was Lawrence Taylor, one of the best linebackers in the history of the National Football League.
"He wouldn't let go," Theismann recalled. "Next thing I know, I was on the ground in this unbelievable pain for a very short instance and then, all of a sudden, nothing."
His leg was severely broken, essentially snapped halfway between his knee and his ankle.

Video from the day shows Taylor frantically gesturing to the sidelines, asking for help.
Theismann was not paying him any attention.
"I could hear everybody, I could feel the moisture on my back, I could hear the sounds of the stadium," he said. Theismann looked up at the sky and cleared his mind.
"Then off I went. You know, you sort of ride off into the sunset," he said. "Never believing that it was going to be over. I was positive that I was going to come back."
Joe Theismann is carried out on a stretcher in this WUSA9 file photo from November 18, 1985.

But that never happened. After months of rehabilitation, he scheduled a workout with the Redskins.
Twenty minutes into it, he looked up and saw everyone that had been watching him had gone inside.
"So, I came walking back in and I said, 'I'm not done with my workout yet!'" he recalled. "And I forget who it was … but somebody said to me, 'Oh yes, you are.'"
"That's when the reality of what had happened to me really hit me," he said. "When the Redskins released me and I wasn't Joe Theismann, Washington Redskins football player anymore, I was a guy that had played the game of football and it was gone."
In that moment, Theismann realized he would have to change.
"People would say that it was a tragedy that happened in my life, but it really wasn't. It was a blessing," he said. "I'd become somewhat of a self-absorbed individual and didn't really care much about a lot of things except myself."
Joe Theismann looks around RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. "She's an old girl, isn't she?" he mused.

He decided it was time to turn over a new leaf.
"I looked at myself and I wanted to be a better person," Theismann said. "And ever since that day in my life, 30 plus, 33 years ago, I've tried to be a better person."
He became a full-time television broadcaster, calling football games and doing commentary. He eventually became a motivational speaker and actor and has a restaurant in his name in Alexandria.
He still sees Lawrence Taylor sometimes. The two have been friends and golf buddies for years.
Theismann said Taylor once told him the lesson he took away from the infamous play.
"He said, 'Joe, I learned a great lesson that night. No matter how great you are at what you do, it can be over in an instant,'" Theismann recounted. "And that's why every day you have to live your life to the fullest, every day you have to go after it with everything that you have, because there are no guarantees for tomorrow."

"Give us a place to stand
And a place to grow
And call this land On-tario . . ."
That was a fine song from my youth. It was not only eminently singable, but memorable, too.
And it's been retuned for a new generation; or something like that.
There is a new ad campaign extolling the virtues of Ontario, Canada, and being a citizen within. The move to update "A Place to Stand" is fine, to be expected, of course, and it is designed for Ontario's and Canada's 150th birthday celebrations, but to strip away what made the song work in the first place is all too typical. The original was a breathy chorus, a proud and exuberant call to this province. Now it's a tiny, but hip (man), little bitty that carries no memory. It's not even a noble attempt to reboot the song, but rather, a lesson in how not to arrange a song that originally enjoyed a marvellous tune. The tune is now gone. Composer Delores Claman is probably wondering where her song went.
This reminds me of something a friend of mine will dispense from time to time; and especially at a time like this:
"Why do they strip away the very things that made it work in the first place?"
Neil is right.


Ellie comes from a very strong teaching background of primary and secondary teachers, and following university, completed her PGCE to be a geography teacher at secondary school.
Ellie also has an extensive surfing background and grew up on the beaches of Cornwall, France and Spain during her summer holidays. She has always enjoyed the water, especially the pool and learnt to swim at a young age. On completion of her PGCE, Ellie worked in a large local school for 10 years, getting involved in as many of the water activities she could.
During her time as a teacher, Ellie had 3 children all of whom have attended classes for at least 5 years, and all of whom have been Swim Academy record breakers! It was with her first daughter that she joined Swim Academy in one of Sarah's first classes back in 2008. It was clear that Ellie and Tollana enjoyed the classes and it was a shame when she had to return to work, full time. During this period, Ellie's mum would bring Tollana, so we got to know the family well. Tollana, was our youngest to swim 25m unassisted at only 2 years old.
In 2009, Ellie gave birth to her second child, James. Ellie was able to return to classes during her maternity leave and once again, showed great confidence with her little boy this time. Unfortunately after 9 months she had to return to work, but also changed to weekend classes for periods of time to be able to continue swimming with us. James was the youngest boy to swim across the pool unaided at just 21 months old.
The big change came for Ellie in 2013, when she had her second daughter, Seija. With Seija just 17 days old, Ellie was back at our swimming lessons and wanted to become more involved with Swim Academy for Babies. Seija is now the video cover baby on our homepage! Little Seija amazed us all and swam all the way across the pool at just 18 months and 1 week old.
From the days when Ellie brought her eldest to our first classes Sarah had been determined to recruit Ellie, after 6 years of being head hunted, she completed all the qualifications and training and by the summer of 2014 she finally joined our team!
Quickly Ellie found a beautiful pool in Praa Sands and within a term had built up 2 full days of classes. Ellie also offered to help tutor at the Penventon on Saturdays and Sunday's and by the summer of 2015 was tutoring 4 days a week with Swim Academy for Babies as well as becoming a Swim Academy for Babies Licensee and Penwith Area Manager.
In September 2015, Ellie made a massive jump and left secondary teaching completely. She is now a teachers assistant at her children's primary school, enabling her to spend more time with her children and concentrate on building her business. Alongside this she is training to be an accountant so that she can develop her business further.
Ellie is extremely committed to Swim Academy for Babies and continues to build her skills and qualifications to branch out in to other areas of baby swimming and antenatal classes, always looking for new venues and building bonds with babies and parents alike.
