Buncrana GAA Club has implemented several interesting initiatives during the past year.
GAA Healthy Clubs success story in Buncrana
Due to requests from GAA clubs, the expression of interests for Phase 4 of the Healthy Club Project has been extended to Friday November 29! Click here to apply now!
150 clubs will be chosen to commence in Phase 4 and successful clubs will be notified by Friday, December 20, 2019.
By Cian O'Connell
These are interesting times in Buncrana.
On the field of play Buncrana are busy preparing for an AIB Ulster Club Junior Football Final this weekend against Monaghan outfit Blackhill at Healy Park.
That has injected significant hope and momentum into the community
Aine Daly, Buncrana's Healthy Club Officer, is encouraged by how those involved in Donegal have contributed to a real success story.
The Healthy Club Project, delivered in partnership with Healthy Ireland and Irish Life, is the GAA's flagship health and wellbeing initiative. It seeks to transform clubs into hubs for health for their members and communities.
"Initially at the start for us it was about getting involved and into the community at around this time last year," Daly explains.
"We started off with a big Health and Wellbeing forum in the local hotel. That was just to create awareness around the Healthy Club itself, to bring the GAA out into the community. Anybody that had anything to do with health, wellbeing or fitness within our community, we wrote to them and asked them would they be interested in having a stall at this forum.
"So we had over 50 exhibitors on the day, it was a great success and loads of people in the community came. We had health checks like blood pressure checks and so on.
"Throughout the day we had talks on various things like nutrition, no smoking, and we said we would be able to support people with it. That initially created our awareness in the community. At the start of the year we had a safetalk in the clubhouse which went very well.
"We had 19 delegates mainly coaches and club officers participating in the safetalk. It created an awareness of risks associated with mental health. How to point people in the right direction. One of our partners is the Samaritans and one of our club members has a link to the Samaritans in Donegal.
It has been a hugely encouraging campaign on the field of play for Buncrana.
"So we had numerous talks throughout the year to underage teams and summer camps in relation to mental health."
Buncrana has tried to assist players and members of all ages with the Gaelic For Mothers and Others proving to be a real hit also.
"We started that off in April or May time," Daly states. "We have a panel of 20, but we usually have between 10 and 16 on a Monday evening.
"The girls just love it and it is mostly mammies of children that are just there training. They think it is a great thing altogether."
Making these type of small connections is ultimately why Daly is delighted with how people in the locality have responded to the efforts being made by the club. A HB Family Fun Day brought people with no prior GAA involvement into the club with €1,800 raised which was split between Down Syndrome Ireland and Donegal Down Syndrome.
"We have partnered up with different partners in the community," Daly adds. "We were doing this anyway on a local level, but it is great to get the natural recognition and to also receive an award for it.
"We've partnered with the RNLI, who have come in to give water safety talks during our summer camps. We've also partnered up with the Red Cross within the community.
"The Red Cross has a list of defibrilators within the community, where they are located and contactable phone numbers. We are part of that process. Our next project is to get an outside box for our defibrilator.
"Ours is located in a room which is locked at night so it is not accessible 24-7. So with our grant from the Healthy Club Project, the 500 pounds, that is what we are doing at the minute, we are just investigating which one is the best option for us. So we are going to have a box outside so it is available 24-7 for the community."
A practical approach is what Daly wanted to adopt in the role so various talks and schemes have been delivered.
"Another thing we did is have 10 or 12 coaches, because they are the ones at ground level, do a concussion awareness session before the start of the year with a company the County Board had brought in to do concussion awareness," she explains.
"Sometimes it is hard to get people to go, but I'm a nurse myself and I used to work in the surgical word where the head injuries were. I badgered them into going, but they were all glad they went because some of them didn't realise the significance of a mild to moderate head injury. That was very beneficial."
Ensuring the club is vibrant in several ways is what Daly intends to do. Little things matter from involving elderly people to ensuring youngsters are catered for well also.
Buncrana's Under 12 and 14 Ladies Football teams at a recent nutrition talk in the club.
"We try to involve everyone, the older people too," Daly remarks. "We have been on to the committee about it too.
"You have older members that don't drive so when you have matches I always text people to see who can bring the older people to the match to make sure they are still involved. That happens right down to the Under 6s with basic stuff like healthy eating. We were thinking about doing a healthy eating policy, we discussed it with Croke Park, but we thought it might be hard to manage and implement.
"So we are just focused on healthy eating more so this year. In the past it has been highlighted to myself that when you have parties it is always sweets, crisps, and lemonade.
"This year we have asked parents when they are coming to blitzes that they don't just bring sandwiches, biscuits, and bars, that they also bring fruit and healthier options, water, and have the coaches giving out bananas and things like that.
Last week we had a dietician/nutritionist in speaking to the Under 12s and 14s. They wanted some more information on nutrition and diet so we got a local dietician in to speak to them, she is involved in sport herself. They found that very beneficial."
A digital detox was one of the many schemes carried out in Buncrana and Daly was hugely encouraged by how that fared.
"We piloted it with the Under 12 group, every day of the calendar month for October they were tasked with maybe no Facebook, no phone or no Snapchat or no iPad, but there was also a physical challenge on that day," Daly states.
"They maybe had to colour a picture, go for a walk, go for a run, go to the beach, go somewhere, bake a cake, read a book.
"There was always a physical challenge as well as withdrawing from some sort of digital imagery. The feedback was that a lot of the 12 year olds didn't have phones so you'd have been better to do it with 14s. That is a thing going forward that we can do."
An extremely topical issue Daly believes it is something Buncrana will revisit in the near future. "Definitely, one of the local primary schools they have three sixth class teachers, they took a copy of it and they did it with their classes in February," Daly reveals.
Buncrana club members at the Donegal GAA Youth Matters Conference.
"They adapted it, but because most of them wouldn't have phones they adapted to say Playstation or television, they just changed it accordingly and gave them practical things to do instead - going for a walk, run, do something good for somebody- wash the dishes. Simple things.
"Even from the parents the feedback was positive, they said they were outdoors and involved more with their children going for a walk, baking a cake or even just going to the beach. It is kickstarting them into doing these things too which is a very positive thing."
Overall the reaction in Buncrana has been overwhelmingly positive and Daly is adamant that focusing on everyday activities is really beneficial.
"You are doing things and you don't even think about them," Daly says. "So it is nice to think about them and to tick the boxes, documenting exactly what you are doing. Although you are doing the work sometimes it is going unnoticed, you don't even realise yourself how much work you're actually doing.
"So at least now when you document it, you can see how much work you are doing, then you can present it to your committee."
A supportive executive committee helps the process according to Daly. "My executive committee have been very good," she replies.
"I always put in a report for the monthly meetings and it is always heard, sometimes I've had to ask to move it up the list because if it is a long agenda it could be coming in at the end, people are ready to go home and they don't want to hear me," Daly laughs.
"It is never very long, just an update on what is being done. A couple of months ago the executive passed that we become a no smoking club, but I lost my brother, he died at the end of September. So that has been put on hold at the minute, but it is a work in progress.
"It is something we will work on. We have been involved with the HSE, who are willing to help us with that. So that is our next project going forward."
The good work isn't stopping on and off the field in Buncrana.

The Asus Fonepad is a 7 inch device that looks a lot like a Nexus 7 tablet. But it has an Intel Atom processor instead of an NVIDIA Tegra chip, features a microSD card slot, and you can use it to make phone calls.
Asus doesn't currently have any plans to offer the Fonepad in the US. But it'll be available soon in parts of Europe and Asia, and one entrepreneur is selling the tablet to US customers via eBay.
You'll have to spend $359 for the privilege of being one of the first kids in the States to get your hands on this 7 inch smartphone. That's despite the fact that the same device sells for about £180 in the UK and has a list price of about $249 US dollars.
But while $359 may be higher than the list price for this tablet, it's actually not a bad price for an unlocked smartphone with an enormous display. You'll just probably want to invest in a Bluetooth headset if you don't want to hold this behemoth up to your face while making calls.
Stuff has posted one of the first reviews of the Fonepad, and while they think it's kind of ridiculous as a phone, they like it as one of the cheapest 3G-enabled tablets around.
The tablet has a 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It's powered by a 1.2 GHz Intel Atom Z2420 processor and has front-and rear cameras. The tablet supports WiFi and HSPA+.
In Thailand it is sold for $250 usd. And beware, antutu score is only 5350 or so!

Brooke Shields says her character will clash with Olivia on 'Law & Order: SVU'

Oct. 12 (UPI) — Brooke Shields, a real-life mother of two, says she was happy to explore complicated parenting themes for her upcoming "Law & Order: SVU" guest arc.
"It's that fine, fine, fine line between reality and just being a actor," the 52-year-old actress recently told reporters on the show's New York set.
Referring to the cast and crew as "the best of the best," she confessed she felt like she had "to bring it" when she showed up for work.
"You have got to raise your game and that's what you want as an actor," Shields said, adding she has "SVU" star and producer Mariska Hargitay to thank for the role.
"I feel lucky. Mariska is single-handedly responsible for it," Shields recalled of how Hargitay approached her. "She saw a guest spot that I had done for Ali Wentworth's show 'Nightcap' and it was a sort of disturbed — more comedic — but a very disturbed, kind of multi-faceted character. And [Hargitay] said on that day, 'We've got this story line and not only do I want to direct you, but there is so much more to you than we've had a chance to see.'"
Admitting she has been locked for years "in this 'Suddenly Susan' world or this more buoyant type of [role] and loving it," Shields said she was ready for something with more grit when Hargitay approached her about tackling on-screen serious issues such as how we determine what is in the best interest of a child.
"That really poses an interesting predicament for both of us," Shields said of her character and Hargitay's Olivia Benson, who is a police lieutenant and single mom to an adopted son named Noah. "We're both fighting each other and, yet, we are both fighting for the same thing, but we can't make it about one winning."
Shields said she has long been an "SVU" fan, but hesitates to view episodes in their entirety with her daughters.
"Now I have younger kids and they want to watch it, but sometimes you're like, 'Oh, god, you can watch this part, but not that part.' It's part of everybody's family, just because of the topics it is based on. It really delves into things that we need to face. I appreciate the show. I love it," Shields said.
The actress noted her guest appearance on "SVU" is a bit of a homecoming since the series airs on NBC, the longtime network of her former sitcom, "Suddenly Susan."
"They let you out, but you're not allowed to stay out. They bring you back in," she laughed.

Active and passive processes associated with initial settlement and post-settlement dispersal of suspended meiobenthic copepods

Settlement by suspended meiofaunal copepods into shallow depressions was investigated in a large, recirculating laboratory flume. Initial settlement was examined under various near-bottom flow regimes, and the interaction of flow with post-settlement behavior was investigated. Cylindrical depressions of constant depth were constructed with a range of aspect ratios (diameter and depth combinations) to mimic natural microtopographic features. Copepods were released into the flume (at nominal flows of 2, 5 and 7 cm sec−1), and settlement/ distribution in the mimic pits was observed. Four experiments were conducted using a total of five species. The first tested for copepod substrate preferences in still water. The second tested for passive settlement into azoic sediment using predictions, based on hydrodynamics, of the ability of depressions of different aspect ratios to act as passive collectors. The patterns of initial settlement of living, freeze-killed and bead-mimic meiofauna were compared. Algal-enriched sediment (to test for active habitat selection) was used in two experiments; one to test for active choice upon initial settlement and the other to test for active habitat selection via post-settlement dispersal into closely-paired pits. Although copepods were capable of active habitat selection in still water, no species tested was able to initially select the preferred habitat in moving water. Moreover, the same copepod species tested in moving water were generally deposited among depressions in the same manner as passive particles. Post-settlement behavior influenced copepod distribution at a low nominal current velocity (2 cm sec−1) as more individuals of both species located (and remained in) algal-enriched depressions after four hrs. Under high flow (8 cm sec−1), copepods were unable to select enriched over non-enriched depressions, either because they did not re-emerge from non-enriched pits or because shear velocity was too high to permit active habitat selection.

Finding sanctuary in a stroller: How pushing my kid around Toronto became my therapy
I was feeling lost, but taking my daughter Polly out to explore Toronto kept me grounded and ultimately saved me, writes Ben Rayner.
By Ben RaynerSpecial to the Star
Thu., Jan. 5, 2023timer7 min. read
This is the story of the death of a stroller.
Well, not really the death of a stroller, I guess. But our exceedingly well-used UPPAbaby Cruz V2 did indeed pass quietly into a second life with a grateful online buyer newly arrived in Toronto from upstate New York one recent December morning while Dad here slept in on a day off.
It was no accident that the stroller left swiftly and silently, with neither fuss nor fanfare — on a day that fell a couple of weeks short of my daughter's sixth birthday, suddenly approaching with impossible and frightening haste on Jan. 3 — while I was unconscious one floor up and oblivious to its departure. Dad here knew this day was coming, my wee Polly knew this day was coming. And although we'd both betrayed some shared emotional distress from time to time at the "Inevitable Exit" looming at us for a good two years wherein we constantly conspired to find new reasons, new "missions," to delay our final parting with that battered, beloved UPPAbaby Cruz V2, the weaker link in the arrangement was obvious to all informed observers.
So my long-suffering partner got the stroller the hell out of here when Dad here wasn't looking, spared the neighbours a probable puddle of ugly crying on the front lawn and pocketed a few bucks towards a bench that, despite her claims to "decluttering," now actually takes up more space in the porch. And fair game to her. The stroller had to go. Polly's been too big for the damn thing for several seasons and rocks a pink Globber scooter with sparkling, LED-lit wheels with terrifying confidence along the west-end sidewalks when she wants to. She'll be cycling by the spring. I dream of a future when she might want to come hiking with me.
But, oh, how we clung to that stroller. As, I'm sure, has every parent who's ever parted ways with a "pram" of some sort since the very birth of the stroller itself — which dates back at least to William Kent's invention at the behest of the Duke of Devonshire in 1773 of a "baby carriage" that was "extremely lavish and gilded with gold and silver and designed to be pulled by a miniature pony; evolved into more practical form when an African-American gent named William H. Richardson patented the first reversible "bassinet" model in June of 1889; and took great strides toward the lightweight, collapsible standards known and loved (and hated) by moms and dads to this day when Owen Finlay Maclaren, a 1920s test pilot-turned-aeronautical engineer hailing from my familial Essex hometown of Saffron Walden, became a grandfather during the early 1960s and took a formative inventorial interest in the field. For 250 years, then, millions of parents and children the world over have forged crucial common memories of early parenthood and early childhood within toddling distance of a stroller, be it gilded with silver and gold and pulled by a miniature pony or not. The stroller gets you to the places where "growing up" happens outside the home, where a previously immobile blob transforms into a wobbly voyager into a curious blabbermouth, all too quickly before your very eyes and where you, too, "grow up" into a parent.
Once you start wheeling your kid around in one of those tarted-up human wheelbarrows, it's official: "I am a parent." There's no hiding it. You're constantly marching tangible evidence of your parenthood into (and often abruptly out of) innumerable logistically unmanageable locations, from brutally overcrowded streetcars and subways to unfeeling banks, disdainful coffee shops and micro-labyrinthine corner shops in your own neighbourhood to airports, bus depots, train stations and hotels where the absolute last thing anyone around wants to see is a young child in a stroller. You're a bother everywhere you roam. Yet, suddenly, you're also getting smiles and the odd "hello" from miserable old pensioners and attractive young hipsters alike on your street who'd previously pretended you didn't exist and – crucially – every so often you cross paths, stroller-to-stroller, with another recent victim of childbirth during a moment your kids are both out cold and you have a rare moment to yourselves and you exchange a supportive nod that says "You are not alone" and you know you're not alone.
Anyway, I dug that stroller. We referred to ours as the "Midnight Express" because Polly could be counted on to fall dead asleep in it within a block or two of any point of departure from Day One. There's scarcely a trail within the limits of the GTA she hasn't dozed through at one point or another, and Dad here was carting her sleeping form to vistas atop Signal Hill in St. John's and Mont Royal in Montreal well before she was old enough to appreciate the surprise. We loved our "dadventures" and we wore out a couple of sets of tires because of the many, many miles we put in touring the town with our UPPAbaby.
Here, then, is the solipsistic/therapeutic point of this spill. A couple of years ago, I went batty. Legit "Draw the drapes, I'm gonna kill myself" -level batty. I couldn't work and, to be honest, I could barely get out of bed for a few months, and yet I would pull it together every day at 5 and emerge from the blankets to fake some normalcy for my daughter and make sure we went on a mission after daycare. Then, long story short, COVID-19 hit and Polly, then three, was home with me for six months straight and that stroller saved my life.
There was no room for depression anymore. My partner trains crisis counsellors for a living and had serious work to do from our kitchen, so Polly and I were out with that stroller and all the gear and snacks we could jam into its frame all day, every day, rain or shine during on/off lockdown days when the streets were deserted, the playgrounds were taped off and pretty much any artificial distraction that couldn't be accessed from or ordered into your dwelling via a computer screen was officially forbidden. We'd leave in the morning with no particular destination in mind and wander from our home base at Dundas and Ossington to wherever the day took us: to the hills above Casa Loma and Spadina Museum, to Ashbridges Bay and the R.C. Harris water-filtration plant in the east end, to the bandstand at Earlscourt Park and our enchanted tree below the Stockyards on Black Creek, to the butterfly sanctuary in Humber Bay West Park. We'd go trainspotting on the West Toronto Railpath and in Runnymede Park and sing sea shanties in the rain while walking the Humber River trails. We befriended horse cops and their horses at the "secret" lakeside strip east of the Palais Royale we still call Needle Beach. We went swimming at our de facto second homes of Ontario Place and Toronto Island at every available opportunity, and vowed never, ever to get in the water at Sunnyside Beach again after huddling together through a sudden, violent thunderstorm in the low brush along the shoreline and witnessing a storm sewer burst and engulf the entire lakeshore in horrific brown foam. We had so much ridiculous fun alone together at the darkest of times that Dad here finally felt normal and healthy again, and that stroller was central to my recovery.
Perhaps, then, you might understand why Polly and I were so reticent to part with it, even though our relationship with the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 had dragged on well past its expiry date. The final mission was anticlimactic, too. We were gonna do one last Toronto Island run for old time's sake but conceded that it was too late in the afternoon during the onset of dwindling autumn daylight to make any sense and departed for a double-hit on the north and south playgrounds at High Park instead, also for old time's sake, and …well, it was a lot. I'm pretty fit, but even minor uphill grades were wearing me down on the trip west because I was no longer pushing a baby around but a brassy kid far too large and heavy for such a conveyance. We watched a fairly violent and bloody police takedown outside the Tim Horton's near Bloor and Keele for far too long than is probably appropriate for a five-year-old, in fact, because it gave me a moment to breathe before pushing Polly through the ravines.
And that was that. Not the classiest final memory of the stroller's service, but fairly fitting if you know the dark sense of humour I share with my offspring. Several days later I woke up and the UPPAbaby was gone, but it will always occupy a special place in my heart. My daughter saved my life, but that stroller helped it happen. Long may it run.

Do you get enough water? While most of us spend a fortune on face creams and beauty procedures (monthly waxes, anyone!?), it seems we don't appreciate the simplest, easiest way to boost our radiance and skin – drinking enough water. If eight glasses a day seem impossible, here's some great ways to trick yourself to make sure you get enough water.
Carrying a water bottle around with you has two benefits – it means you always have water with you for when you start feeling thirsty, and you can easily track how much you've drank. Search around to find one that you love, and carry it everywhere with you. To work, in the car, on your bed…everywhere. If you can see how much you are drinking, and make it really easy and convenient, you are much more likely to get enough water.
Being a Pepsi Max fiend, this is one I really should try! While anything you drink will count towards your water intake, fizzy drinks have a high sugar content, which will cause your blood sugar levels to spike and then dramatically fall again. Even the diet versions are bad: the sugar is simply replaced by chemicals that have the same effect. Try replacing them with sparkling water if you can't face plain water, so that you get the fizziness without the sugar.
Don't like the taste of water? You aren't the only one. Rather than ditch it for something nicer, though, it's time to get creative. Try infusing honey, fruits or herbs through the water, or adding a few strawberries and a bit of mint. A lemon is perfect for a zingy morning pick-up! Try adding the fruits and herbs to a big jug and drinking from it all day.
Not managing eight glasses of water? Try eating your water instead. Fruits and vegetables are full of water, especially watermelons, grapefruit, tomatoes and broccoli, which are at least 90% water. Diary products also have a high water content, and fish and seafood is about 70%. Try adding some of these to a soup, and you'll effortlessly get more water.
Every hour or so, get up and get yourself a glass of water. Stretch your legs and use the opportunity as a screen break, and a way to gather your thoughts. Soon, you'll have created a habit and be drinking more than enough. It's a great opportunity for a quick catch-up with work friends in the kitchen, too.
Have you tried chia seeds yet? The latest superfood, these seeds are now being added to a whole variety of recipes, and they make a great snack too. As well as being packed with protein, they absorb up to three times their own weight in water, helping you to retain much more. Try adding them to smoothies or sprinkling them over cereal.
Coffee is a bit conflicted when it comes to trying to get enough water – it's a diuretic, meaning it causes you to urinate more frequently, and therefore could add to dehydration. Recent studies have suggested that the benefits of drinking coffee do outweigh the negatives, though – just limit yourself to three cups a day.
So make it a personal challenge to get enough water this week, and see how you feel. After a week or so, your skin is likely to look much healthier, you'll feel great and you'll be much less puffy. It can even soothe conditions like eczema. Do you have a water trick? I'd love to hear it!


What did you do with your Ulysses today?
Thread: What did you do with your Ulysses today?
I just finished swapping to a Bulltooth XB-SG slip-on and fussed with the tune. I guess it will need a little tweaking. It seems to run and idle just fine. Short ride was very satisfying.
Then the headlight - low and high beams - quit. This Uly has had the ECM turned over and stuffed down between the fuse/relay box and the battery. I pulled all of the relays and rotated them and the lights work now. I don't think it was a relay, I think it was something about messing with electrical boxes.
Getting a few more miles on her, I find that I really like many things. She handles REALLY well. I'm coming from a Ducati ST4s and that bike handles well but I'm more confident on my Uly. I'm thinking I do like the Uly better.
Check your headlight connector. It's located under the front windscreen area, near the headstock of the bike. The headlight connector has been know to fry the ground connection going to it and therefore causes the lights to die.
Just suggesting you take a look. It's likely the culprit.
"The headlight connector has been know to fry the ground connection"
I've had a look there but it wouldn't hurt to look again. Thanks.
I pulled all of the relays and rotated them and the lights work now.
bob: carlos is correct as usual about the headlight wiring harness plug.
the "start" relay on your ulysses handles alot of circuits including headlight and signal source to starter. it is multi-phase meaning it momentarily shuts down power to the headlight circuit during "start" mode. when you swapped them around you either identified a faulty start relay or interrupted corrosion on the start relay female plugs within the fuse box. squirt them with a light amount of penetrant, soak, work the relay in and out a few times...then see what you have.
I had cleaned up all the relay pins when I rotated the relays. While on the subject I took the flyscreen/fairing off th get access to the headlight which was aimed way too high. While I was in there I found a bad crimp on two ground wires. I had to tug on those pretty hard and it caused the exact symptom. Fixed that and aimed the headlight. Did a TPS reset and took a nice ride to St. Michaels in "learning mode". So now it runs and idles really well. I'm sure glad I found you guys.

How to Hit a Breaking Ball
A breaking ball is a baseball pitch that moves along a non-normal trajectory and is thrown at a lower velocity than the fastball. Because of its non-typical trajectory, it is more difficult for batters to detect it. Identifying the proper pitch, the hitter should avoid swinging at the ball. It may be better to throw a high-spin version than a low-spin one. If the batter hits the ball, he will strike out.
A breaking ball, also called a curve, is a pitch that is more difficult to hit than a fastball. These pitches are more likely to miss the strike zone and present a softer path. Since they are less predictable than fastballs, they are called "breaking" pitches, which is an umbrella term for several specific pitch types. Unlike the fastball, which is relatively predictable, a breaking ball can be hard to hit and miss the strike zone.
A breaking ball is a pitch that has a slower tempo and can be hit with greater precision than a fastball. It is difficult to predict its path, and therefore easier for a batter to hit. A breaking ball has a lower velocities than a fastball, so it is easier for the batter to make contact. In most cases, a baseball player will make contact with it in the strike zone if he hits it.
A breaking ball can be hard to hit than a fastball, but there are ways to master it. By following these tips, you can learn how to hit a breaking ball. These tips will ensure that you get maximum power from your pitches and become more consistent in your hitting. In addition, you'll become a better pitcher with every game. Then, you'll be able to be the best you can be and dominate in the game.
A breaking ball has a distinct characteristic: it is harder to hit than a fastball. Its path is less predictable and more likely to miss the strike zone. It has lower velocity than a fastball, which makes it easier to hit with a hitter. In contrast, a hitter will have more success with a breaking ball if it has a higher velocity than a fastball. If you're a hitter, try to strike out more often, and avoid throwing into the dirt.
The breaking ball has lower velocity than a fastball, but it is still difficult to hit. It tends to miss the strike zone and is harder to hit. It can also be more challenging to hit than a fastball. A batter should be able to control this pitch when he swings. When a batter misses a breaking ball, it can cause a batter to get out of a slump. When a pitcher makes a change up in speed, he can make his pitches more effective.

RAF Lyneham Vulcan Cold War bomber is saved
It is hoped that the plane will perform a fly-past at the 2012 Olympics
A Vulcan Cold War bomber which is being restored in Wiltshire has been saved after the project received an anonymous donation of more than £400,000.
The plane, based at RAF Lyneham, is owned by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust charity which said the money is needed so it can remain airworthy.
The trust's Dr Robert Pleming said: "There's a massive sigh of relief from all who love this brilliant aircraft."
The Vulcan is due to celebrate its 50th birthday this summer.
The Vulcan to Sky Trust, based in Leicestershire, launched an appeal earlier in the year to raise £300,000 by the end of March to keep the plane operational.
'Good fortune'
Staff at the charity were put on a month's notice at the beginning of February after fears that the project could be closed down, grounding the Vulcan XH558.
Dr Pleming said the person who gave the donation had asked to remain anonymous.
The Vulcan is flying as a salute to literally hundreds of thousands of service people who were on guard during the Cold War
Dr Robert Pleming - Vulcan to Sky Trust
He said: "The aircraft itself is the last flying representative of a fleet of 300 or so aircraft - the Vickers Valiants, the Handley Page Victors and the Avro Vulcans - that were flying during the late-1950s, 60s and 70s.
"They were the aircraft that would have gone to war if the Cold War became hot and thank goodness that never happened, so from a heritage point of view it's very important indeed.
"The Vulcan is flying as a salute to literally hundreds of thousands of service people who were on guard during that period."
The Vulcan was withdrawn from service in 1984. It was restored at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire and flew there in 2007.
Many Vulcans remain in museums across the UK but the XH558 is currently the only one which is airworthy.
It is hoped the plane will perform a fly-past at the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

This Disney Value Resort allows you to feel like a character in your favorite Disney story. In addition to Standard Rooms, Family Suites offer the room families need to spread out in comfort. With four playful courtyards and animation-inspired décor, Guests will be surrounded by magic and animation like never before.
This Disney Value Resort allows you to feel like a character in your favorite Disney and Disney•Pixar stories. In addition to Standard Rooms, Family Suites offer the ability to spread out in comfort. With four playful courtyards and animation-inspired décor.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is one of Disney's newest hotels. It was originally planned to be the second phase of Disney's Pop Century Resort but then Disney had the idea for value priced family suites.
Family Suites and Standard Rooms are themed to popular Disney animated movies: Lion King, Little Mermaid (standard rooms only), Finding Nemo, and the Disney Cars film. The Little Mermaid standard rooms are among the quickest value rooms to sell out at Walt Disney World. Finding Nemo Family Suites are closest to the pool and lobby so Disney charges more for them.
The problem with Art of Animation is that it's expensive for what you actually get. A Family Suite costs more than the standard room at a Disney Moderate category hotel so you have to watch your prices. If you have 5+ guests in your party, you might want to price out a standard room at a Moderate resort that can sleep 5 such as Disney's Port Orleans Riverside or Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. At least then you'd be in a Moderate category hotel vs. a Value hotel. Even two Moderate rooms might still be cheaper than an Art of Animation Family Suite. Most Disney Deluxe Resorts, like Disney's Beach Club Resort or Disney's Polynesian Village Resort also sleep 5 people and you'll be in a Disney Deluxe category hotel that comes with better amenities. Deluxe resorts are close to at least one Theme Park which is another great benefit.
Each of Disney's Art of Animation Resort buildings have Character themed rooms designed to make you feel like you are a character in one of four beloved animated films. Family Suites sleep up to six and feature three sleeping areas, two bathrooms and a kitchenette.
The master bedroom has 1 queen size bed and a double-size sleeper sofa in the living room. There's also a double-size murphy bed that can be converted into a dining table as well.
The kitchenette leaves a lot to be desired. It's little more than a plastic cart with a mini-fridge on the bottom, a microwave on top, and a very tiny sink. It's worth noting that all rooms at Walt Disney World hotels have a mini-fridge and sink. And microwaves can be requested at no extra cost thoughout Walt Disney World.
Standard Rooms (inspired by The Little Mermaid) sleep up to four Guests plus one child under age 3 in a crib. These rooms sell out months in advance. It's worth noting that they are extremely far from the and lobby and transportation.
When booking a Family Suite at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, be sure to specify the theme you want. If you leave it undefined, you will likely get the Lion King section - this building has a playground instead of a pool, but guests staying at Art of Animation are welcome to use any of the pools at this resort.
Note: Disney's Art of Animation Resort is a dog-friendly resort.
There are 3 pools at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, each near one of the themed areas. The Lion King area does not have a pool nearby, it offers a Lion-King themed playground instead. The feature pool is quite large and plays Disney tunes under water, pretty neat!
There is no table service restaurant at Disney's Art of Animation Resort but the Landscape of Flavors food court is big enough to handle crowds well. There's also a focus on healthy, fresh options - one of the better food courts at any Walt Disney World hotel.
Room service is not available but pizza delivery from Disney is an option but it's truly terrible.
Complimentary bus service is provided to all Walt Disney World theme parks. Taxis are readily available. Art of Animation Resort is located near ESPN Wide World of Sports. Also nearby is Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Q: How to Use replace command for in C#? static void Main(string[] args)
{

Finmin Aims to Halve Net Bad Loans of PSBs
\r\n\r\n
Concernedover the rising bad loans of the state-run banks, the finance ministry is working out a plan to reduce their net non-performing assets (NPAs) to 1% of net advances by the end of the current financial year.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n"

    string resultValue = t.Replace(" <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='http://www.taxmann.com/css/taxmannstyle.css' /> ", "   ");  //its not working

    Console.WriteLine(resultValue);

}

This is my code But i m unable replace resultValue.

A: The Replace method takes exact strings.
In your original you have:
 />

But in the replace string you have:
 />

Spaces are significant.
In this case, since this is HTML, I suggest using an HTML parser instead of string.Replace.
Two popular parsers are the HTML Agility Pack and CsQuery. You use either one to read the HTML and rewrite what you need.

A: The way you use it is fine, but it does not match against your input string as the phrase    is not the same as . The spaces make the replace fail.
You can use a regular expression to match where you allow whitespaces between your tags or you can strip of all whitespaces after > and then replace the value.

Italy has long since been at the top of our must-visit list. Because Rome and because Pasta.
The first thing I noticed as soon as we got off the airport-train in Rome, was the delightful ratio of humans to dogs. If the happiness quotient of a nation could be measured using this very sensible index, then Italy would be right at the top!
The Eternal City is an eclectic mix of the old and the new living, breathing side by side. Walking through its neighborhoods, innumerable cafes, piazzas crowned with fountains is an enriching experience, to say the least. You must be prepared to walk (and most people seem to be, I saw a large group of nuns in sneakers). There are plenty of walking tours – we discovered a priceless one (literally – it's a free app) – Rick Steves's audio tour. It is beautifully narrated and as a bonus Rick keeps you thoroughly entertained with little gems like the link between the etymology of "vomit" and Roman history.
As you make your way through the old city, you will be faithfully accompanied by the rich smells of strong coffee, deep-fried potato and freshly baked crisp gelato cones. We started our walk at the Colosseum. The first glimpse of this 1st century structure that springs at you right after you exit the Colosseo station leaves you feeling rather out of place. Its jagged broken-down edges stand fierce like the teeth of an old tiger, and your mind quickly jettisons to the reign of gladiators and spectacular (and admittedly macabre) fights. This building could seat more than 50,000 and was even equipped to conduct naval battles.
The 17th century Trevi Fountain is testament to Rome's aquatic obsession. In the center stands the pivotal figure of the 'Ocean'. Water gushes out of 24 spouts, dancing over a myriad of sculptures. Crushed in on by walls of brick and mortar and people the square itself can get very noisy, but it is a fantastic spot to indulge in people watching, especially those fervently making a wish as they toss a coin into the fountain.
One of the best things about Italy are the cafes with seating spilling out onto the streets. You can enjoy course after course, as impeccably dressed Romans go about their business amidst groups of tourists greedily snapping up pictures of every monument. When our long lunch meandered into high tea, we decided to get moving.
Piazza Navona, built around 80 AD, has three fountains, the most magnificent one being Bernini's four river fountain – dotted with exotic plant sculptures, it pays tribute to four mighty rivers one each from Asia, America, Europe and Africa. This is a great place to chill at in the evening, you can walk into one of the restaurants lining the square and watch as it comes to life after dark, with all kinds of performances.
Campo di Fiori – a piazza that is representative of free speech and power of the people, houses the statue of Bruno –One of Italy's 16th century mathematician and cosmologist who was a proponent of the Copernican theory. This popular square also used to house the Theatre of Pompey notorious for being the spot where Julius Caesar met his end.
The Pantheon is an outstanding engineering marvel – literally meaning the abode of many Gods, this structure was first built in 27 BC, and later rebuilt around the 2nd century AD. Originally a shrine to Rome's many nature gods, over the years it was gradually imbued in the Christianity wave. It is hard to comprehend how something of this magnitude was built with such precision, at a time when construction equipment itself was non-existent. Looking up at the perfectly symmetric dome from 2000 years ago gracefully towering above, one cannot help but be struck by the impermanence of our own lives.The Pantheon is also the final resting place for many of Rome's kings, and also the Tomb of Rapheal.
We spent a quiet evening in Vatican City, nursing aching feet at the steps at the 4th century St Peters square. Interestingly security at the Vatican is managed by Swiss Guards, instead of Italy's Carabinieri. A much more peaceful and organized scene that I would have imagined it to be.
The center piece of the Roman Catholic church has been brought alive in numerous art forms over the years especially in the movie Angels and Demons. The obelisk in the center of the square is an example of how the Romans integrated structures from faraway lands into their city.
The inside of the Basilica is what truly takes your breath away. The ceiling is filled with delicate artwork and the main hall of the church is a glorious sight during the day when shafts of light shine through from the ceiling to the floor. We had the benefit of seeing a sermon being delivered during our visit to the Basilica. The acoustics of the inside of the church made it excitingly haunting .
The great thing about Italy in summer is 9 pm sunsets – even after a whole day of exploring (two countries, practically) we could still make it to the Gianicolo terrace to catch the sunset. This hillock offers panoramic views of the entire city. Everything about Rome and the Romans is magical and remarkable – they even managed to turn the humble picnic into spectacular feasts, equipped with champagne, flute glasses et all.
Amalfi is prettier than a painted picture, the coast is dotted with the most charming hill-towns, off the emerald sea. If you thought that it was very exclusive and where only the elite of Europe come to spend their holidays, you're wrong! There are plenty of B&Bs that you can get for a reasonable price if you book in advance.
We stayed in Furore – the first evening was meant to be a lazy evening in, till we realized we had to find a place to eat. What deceptively appeared as a few hundred meters away on Google maps turned out to be exactly 1235 steps down hill (yes and exactly that many up hill) albeit to a lovely little diner – Lucas'- where we ordered everything on the menu including some heady homemade wine. Particularly noteworthy were the soft pillows of Gnocchi tucked into a comforting blanket of thick, creamy butter sage and cheese sauce.
The next day we rented e-scooters from a friendly old man (I wish we could put his contact details or site link here, unfortunately he doesn't have one, his grandsons are helping him set it up. All I can say is that he drives a dusty old red Audi Quattro) and spent a blissful day zipping on the spaghetti like roads leading the way from one town to the other – completely deserted for most part and the occasional neat pile of traffic.
The ride along the coast itself is simply breathtaking, each turn offering the most fanciful views. The towns of Ravello and Positano, make you feel like you're starring in an exotic movie. Bright colours, ceramics and stunning flora (Did you know that petunias grow in black too?) and as night falls, twinkling lights and nimble shadows. While here, you must treat yourself to Italy's signature Limoncello – a deliciously simple liquor made of lemon peel, spirit and sugar syrup. This beloved flavor goes into everything, from ice-cream to cakes and even soaps!
Italo, the country's private high-speed rail company is headed by Luca di Montesemolo, yes, the gentleman who just happens to run Ferrari. Fast (ad nauseum), efficient and almost sterile – this little red bullet covered 700 km in 5 hours.
Venice is a fairytale. It is difficult to resist the city's seductive charm. The teal waters twist and turn into every corner of the city, replacing roadways with such ease– even Google maps includes ferry directions!
The first day in Venice was a long food walk – sampling Cicchetti (bite-sized batter fried everything!) – and shopping. The alleys leading up to the Rialto Bridge have boutique stores, high-end designer labels, whimsical food stores (personal favorites- a wonky confectioners with an enormous chocolate fountain and a store dedicated to selling everything to do with truffles) and even street shopping from carts laden with spices and trinkets fashioned like the famous Venetian mask.
We spent a lovely evening in Piazza San Marco– referred to as "The Drawing Room of Europe", probably because this port used to be where travelers would first alight. Flanked by the St Mark's Basilica and the iconic clock tower that shows the time, the signs of Zodiac and even the phases of the moon, this is one of the most famous squares in Venice. There are two legendary cafes on either side of the Piazza, but you can walk into the alleys leading away from the square for more affordable options to grab a bite.
The next day spent half a day each in the cities of Murano and Burano. These little archipelagos are great for half day trips from Venice. Murano, originally a fishing port, is famous for its glasswork – be sure to take your time exploring the factories and buying souvenirs. Burano rose to importance in the 14th-15th century for its lacework that was imported all over Europe. The houses stand brightly painted, in neat rows, quite like the flat boxes of water colours that we used to buy eagerly at the start of a school semester (I am told that there is even certain science to deciding which colors can be used where).
Our first evening in Milan we were lucky to catch a magnificent open-air concert in the Duomo Square, conducted by Riccardo Chailly. Later that evening after the crowds cleared I went pay obeisance at the World's Oldest Mall, Galleria Vittorio Emmanuel. 30 minutes of enthusiastic picture taking and gazing at orante window displays quickly gave way to feeling sorry for myself, followed by binge eating gelato. That was how we discovered Amorino, one of the best places for Gelato in Italy – an entire poem in a cone!
The next day we drove out of the city to Lake Trento. By then I had taken ill, my most vivid memories being flashes of bright blue – water, mountain and sky all in perfect harmony.
Eventually it turned out I had contracted some kind of measles. Possibly in Rome, what with its constant ebb of human tide. Inspite of two treacherous weeks of illness, I am still in love with the city; I echo Audrey Hepburn's sentiments, Rome truly is unforgettable, and I too will cherish my visit here in memory.
Loved going through your travel experience, the way you describe every nuance of the places. I've never been to Italy but was able to visualize the places you visited.
Ending was an anticlimax actually (Not many would put that in a blog). But that's how travel is. In fact that's how life is.
Sounds like an amazing trip! I love Italy, and traveling too. I hope you get your 40 by 40; what a great goal and way to make life exciting and adventurous! Maybe I should set that goal too! Can't wait to read more.
Thank you! The next decade is going going to be very busy!
Magnifique! And what lovely pictures!!
I could almost see the piazzas and the streets and the sculptures in your words.. a beautiful lucid chronicle.. love it.. keep writing !


Was Casualty crossover cut from Doctor Who 'The Lie of the Land'?
Was Casualty crossover cut from Doctor Who 'The Lie of the Land'?
Posted June 1, 2017 by CultBox Editor & filed under Headlines.
Avid Doctor Who news-watchers may well remember this tweet from Casualty's Amanda Mealing from September last year.
That's Peter Capaldi, no doubt – in full Doctor Who costume, no doubt – on what appears to be a hospital-like set, with Mealing and another star of BBC's Casualty, Jaye Griffiths (Elle) . That's not so weird, you may think – maybe it was a publicity thing, or a chance meeting while shooting in on different sets in the same studio facility. There could be a lot of explanations.
Then, however, there's this… from this month's Doctor Who Magazine.
You'll notice, perhaps, that in the cast there are the names of Mealing and Tony Marshall, next to the names of their characters from Casualty (Connie and Noel).
It's not a mistake, but it looks like that scene has since been cut.
So, apparently there was a crossover scene between two of BBC's long-running shows planned for 'Lie of the Land'.
However, we can personally back up the Doctor Who Magazine line, and tell people that it was not – as far as we saw – in the version of the show we've seen for our spoiler-free review.
We're not giving too much away there, we don't think.
Those preview versions we get to see do always point out, however, that the version they show may not be the broadcast version. So, there's always a chance this is being kept as a surprise for Saturday. There is certainly plenty of scope for something like that to occur, given the way the episode begins. We'll say no more, though.
Equally likely, though, is that it was an idea that was eventually left on the cutting room floor.
