Pats Continue to Lead the League in Jersey Blunders
For all photos, click to enlarge
On the left is how Patriots quarterback Mac Jones's white road jersey is supposed to look. On the right is how it looked during last night's game against the Falcons — note the missing red inlining on the 0. (The red trim was fine on the front of the jersey.)
This is the second consecutive game in which Jones has been victimized by a jersey snafu. As you may recall from Monday's post, on Sunday the Flying Elvis logo patch on his right sleeve was missing its star:
These glitches follow a slew of miscues last season, when several players wore the team's old number and NOB fonts:
Or the old number font with the new NOB font (on the left):
Or the old NOB font with the new number font (on the left):
What a mess! How can one team have so many jersey errors in such a short period of time?
Side note: I was impressed by how many people alerted me to Jones's missing red trim last night. It's a reasonably subtle detail (not, like, super-subtle, but not Uni Watch 101 either), so it was great to see that so many folks noticed it. Good work, people!
While we're at it: Pats offensive lineman Trent Brown chose to go bare-legged last night. If not for the lack of knee braces, you'd think he was a college player:
In addition, the Falcons wore their black fauxbacks:
(My thanks to Ben Oship for the first Trent Brown photo.)
ITEM! 2021 Gift Guide now available: With the winter holidays right around the corner (Hanukkah is on Nov. 28), I've decided to run my annual Uni Watch Holiday Gift Guide a bit earlier this year. It was published earlier this morning on Bulletin.
Those of you who've subscribed to receive my Bulletin content via email should already be seeing this piece in your in-boxes. Everyone else can read it on my Bulletin page. Enjoy!
Covid update: I'm happy to report that I once again tested negative yesterday, and I continue to feel 100% shipshape. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear, but I'll get tested again today, just to be safe. The downside, of course, is that this means Mary has to stay in the sanitarium, which really sucks.
Longtime readers may recall that we usually attend the annual oyster roast on Virginia's Eastern Shore on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Obviously, that won't be possible this year, but I've arranged to have a virtual/remote oyster fest via Zoom with all our usual participants. Since Mary's still sequestered, I'll buy some oysters for her tomorrow morning and deliver them to the front desk of the place where she's staying, along with shucking tools, so she can participate. Won't be as good as being in Virginny, but we'll make do. I'm looking forward to it!

What Paul did last night yesterday afternoon: Life has been a little stressful lately. So with yesterday's weather being unseasonably warm (mid-60s), I gave myself the afternoon off and went down to Coney Island to spend a few hours at the beach.
It was low tide and the waves were virtually non-existent. The Atlantic Ocean felt more like a calm bay:
We've all seen people throwing a frisbee to a dog. But I saw a woman on the beach throwing lots of frisbees to her dog. The pooch caught them (or tried to) but didn't retrieve them. Maybe she was training him for something..? In any case, it was very nice to watch:
And that's a wrap for this week. Thanks again for all the support and kind words over the past few days — it makes a difference, really. Enjoy Phil's weekend content and I'll see you back here on Monday.— Paul

Dane says:
I was scrolling through the new Grey Flannels auction. What NOB would we use for this jersey?
I'd call that a nickNOB, since "VBK" was his nickname.
Glad to hear you're OK. Is it 2 negative tests before Mary is in the clear and can come home?
Glad to hear you're OK, Will Mary need 2 negative tests before she comes home?
I think so..? Right now we're just waiting to make sure that *I'm* negative. Once that's established (hopefully later today), we'll turn our attention to getting her home safely.
J. Strauss says:
Perhaps get in touch with David Schoenfeld, the Pats' Head Equipment Manager?
In my experience, the Pats are consistently non-communicative about uni-related issues. I've contacted them countless times over the years — they simply won't talk about this stuff.
Fitzy says:
I'm toying with just printing out this article and mailing it to Robert Kraft. If nothing else, he'll care about getting what he's paid for! Two uni malfunctions in two weeks with your very visible prize rookie QB just can't be acceptable.
Patriots are blundering in the uniform department because they are ignoring something so obvious and not sure why. Why does this team not have a pair of silver pants yet with this current uniform set? At least an alternate pair of silver pants that they can sub in. Anybody with eyes can see this would look great with their white or navy jerseys.
Had the same silver pants thought for years.
Their look last night, despite its many shortcomings still looks way better than their recent road kit. That side panel was brutal, and even though I love striped socks, I felt like their stripes were disconnected form the rest of the uni. The socks also looked to Adida-fied. I believe Adidas was the original manufacturer of those.
White pants with red/blue/red stripes for games on the road would do nicely as well…though that would make the helmet appear completely out of place, like how the Panthers look when they go white-over-white.
I get what your saying…the Pats 2000 uniforms were made by Adidas but I'm not sure they wore 'Adidas' socks…they just happened to have 3 stripes. The Chargers and 'Skins also had uniforms made by them at that time but both used 2-stripe white hosiery, and the 49ers didn't add 3 stripes to their red socks when they went with Adidas, though that would have looked great.
The Mac Jones zero is not just missing the read, it has a silver inner thing that the other number doesn't, so was it supposed to go on another jersey at some point?
Read=red lol
I think that's just the lighting.
I think what he means is, both their home and away numbers have two outline colors. Other on-line photos support this. Home: red to silver to the big white number, and Away: red to silver to the big blue number. So yes, it looks like the red part came off, leaving the silver stripe. Given the thickness of the silver portion, it appears the red stripe is supposed to be laid over its edge. Both numbers have it, but you have to sort of squint to see it. The white jersey photo on the left above makes it appear red/white/blue, but that appears to be lighting.
Yeah, after looking at other photos, there's def lighting at play, I thought the left picture just had red-white-blue but other away jersey pics have red-grey-blue. So I just think on the right picture it's just a double thickness grey brand
Joe Hilseberg says:
It's because of the kiss-cut method of lettering that it fell off. It's just a tiny sliver of red on top of everything, so if 1 thread comes out, the whole thing goes. I wish they would still be layered like the old days and this would never happen.
Also, is it me or the JONES on the right side picture is thicker than the one on the left?
Just different camera angles.
Clevo says:
Excellent email question on todays Effectively Wild podcast about baseball caps and uniforms. Shocked Paul wasn't namechecked.
I'm so sick of my Patriots looking like clowns on the field. The half-assed stripes, the outdated and amateurish mono-blue look, they just look so sloppy and unprofessional. We're stuck with these for a few more years, but here's to hoping they add a decent third option next year (either the Pat Patriot throwback if they eliminate the one shell rule, or possibly a mid-90's throwback if they have to keep using the silver helmets).
It all just kind of goes with their coach's feelings about such things. He simply doesn't care about those details, looking "good", etc. Sort of a, how you play matters, not how you look, mentality. I recall the whole cut off hooding thing being his way to rebel against the league's request for coaches to dress a certain way, in team gear, etc. He sort of said, "OK, I'll do that and look as slovenly as possible in the process." Or, perhaps that story is just lore.
Belichick is the only head coach who is not a member of the NFL Coaches Association although he once was. He's never been forthcoming as to why he left it. Bill Parcells wasn't either. Both are known for being stubborn and independent. It means Belichick doesn't appear in the Madden game (he doesn't need the money) and he can eschew wearing camo as he did last Sunday. The main Patriots fan website just chalks it up to his predilection for avoiding distractions as you surmised.
Excellent segment on today's Effectively Wild podcast about caps and uniforms. Surprised Paul wasn't namechecked.
(sorry if this is a dupe post, the site was being wonky when I was posting)
Hoping for continued negative tests and that Mary's case is mild. Today is the last day for our family's 10 day quarantine. Luckily we were all sick, but no hospital.
At any rate, I can vouch for the tokens & icons and stadium map art. I have bought from both places from this site and have been extremely happy with the quality.
JOEL T MATHWIG says:
The South Carolina uniforms is not for football, but rather for basketball. They debuted their garnet versions of the white throwback uniform they have been wearing the last couple seasons. They were worn last night vs. UAB.
Jason Shane says:
Glad to hear you're still negative Paul and that Mary is on the mend. Be well.
Block "O Canada" says:
"While we're at it: Pats offensive lineman Trent Brown chose to go bare-legged last night."
– I watched the game last night and it was a) striking how bad he looked and b) amazing that he got past the NFL's sideline uniform police. I knew immediately that he wouldn't be allowed to finish the game looking like that and I was right. He had socks on to start the second half.
"We've all seen people throwing a frisbee to a dog. But I saw a woman…"
– Can't tell you how much I was hoping that sentence would end with "catching frisbees FROM a dog!!!"
Taking a look through the Spiders…er…Guardians gear, I see they have yet to produce any fitted hats. All are "snapback" hats, the bane of this hatwearer's existence. Snapbacks are AWFUL if you have a hat size north of 7 3/4.
The NOB font is going to take some getting used to..
DAF says:
If you have a hat size north of 8, fitted caps are no good either, because as far as I can tell, the MLB shop doesn't sell them in those sizes. (I'd love to be wrong about this.)
716Scott says:
As a big head guy I'd recommend the 3930 fit if you can find it. It's a different material but is flex fit and fits like a dream.
A Cleveland.com article about the merch release said there's no release date yet for jerseys and on-field caps – just that they'll be available "before opening day." From the photos I've seen of the physical team shop, it look like the (to my eyes) nicer merchandise isn't available in the online MLB shop. A wider release is supposed to come on Tuesday, so I'm trying to be patient.
Have a peaceful weekend, Paul. You've earned it!
Dennis Bolt says:
I'm not sure how the Patriot Elvis can miss the star-isn't that stitched in in one computerized process when the patch is made? Or are these things made on the cheap with stick on stars from Hobby Lobby? Same thing with the numbers? Wouldn't the whole number with all its borders be made in one process? Or is it some lacky in the basement of Gillette Stadium with rick-rack and hot glue?
FYI, on mlb.com if you hover over the 'Teams' spot, the name is updated to Guardians but the 'C' logo is still the old block 'C'.
Here's hoping for more negative tests in both your futures!
Paul, wishing continued health for you and a quick recovery for Mary.
Kst8cats says:
The Royals have released their new uniforms.
Shockingly, not a full powder blue. But a return to the Bo Jackson era powder blue tops.
And a new "Kansas City" font.
And maybe a slightly different shade of blue. Hard to tell with the lighting.
The two details that popped out at me were the lack of alt blue pants and the thicker sleeve stripes. I wish they'd gone with blue pants, and maybe even made them standard on the road, but I'm a big fan of the thicker sleeve stripe and the road lettering.
I agree. I really like the return to the block font on the away jersey. Back to the Lou Pinella ROY era jerseys. I always thought the script Kansas City was too long and awkward especially with the swoop below it. (is there a name for the swoop?). Small but positive changes IMO.
I had a Kirk McLean poster and remembering seeing "weird" on his skates, but never knew the story behind that.
I meant I had the Kirk McLean poster as a kid, he was my favorite player. My wife wouldn't like me having posters as an adult. She barely tolerates me as is…


Doctor: "Take the red pill after breakfast with one glass of water."
Doctor: "Take the blue pill after lunch with two glasses of water."
Doctor: "Take the yellow pill after dinner with three glasses of water."
After giving these instructions to the woman, she asks, "Can you tell me what's wrong with me, doctor?"
Doctor: "Yeah. You don't drink enough water."
Donna Lorraine : Voted mom. I will tell ashley to vote also.

Q: exclude my angular2 rc app files from systemjs-builder I want to create a js file with my angular2 dependencies BUT exclude my app js files.
Because in every change i make in a ts file (for example my clientList.component.ts) i have to rebuild the bundle.
This is my gulp task:
gulp.task('bundle:angular', function () {
var builder = new Builder('', './systemjs.config.js');
return builder
    .buildStatic('./wwwroot/ngApp/main.js', './wwwroot/js/libs/angular.bundle.js',
                        { minify: true, sourceMaps: true})
    .then(function (output) {
        console.log('Build complete');
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        console.log('Build error');
    });
});

And this is my systemjs.config.js
(function (global) {
    var map = {
        'app': './wwwroot/ngApp',
        'rxjs': './wwwroot/js/libs/rxjs',
        '@angular': './wwwroot/js/libs/@angular'
    };
    var packages = {
         'app': { main: 'main.js', defaultExtension: 'js' },
          'rxjs': { defaultExtension: 'js' }
    };

    var packageNames = [
         '@angular/common',
         '@angular/compiler',
         '@angular/core',
         '@angular/http',
         '@angular/platform-browser',
         '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic',
         '@angular/router',
         '@angular/router-deprecated',
         '@angular/testing',
         '@angular/upgrade'
    ];
  packageNames.forEach(function (pkgName) {
     packages[pkgName] = { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
  });

  var config = {
     map: map,
     packages: packages
  }

   if (global.filterSystemConfig) { global.filterSystemConfig(config); }
   System.config(config);

 })(this);

Thanks

A: This will do,
gulp.task('bundle:angular', function () {
var builder = new Builder('', './systemjs.config.js');
return builder
    .buildStatic('./wwwroot/ngApp/main.js - @angular', './wwwroot/js/libs/angular.bundle.js',
                        { minify: true, sourceMaps: true})
    .then(function (output) {
        console.log('Build complete');
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        console.log('Build error');
    });
});

A: You're making a static bundle (i.e. one that can be loaded by <script> directly) of your app which includes all dependencies, thus angular. To separate your app from angular (or any other library) you would have to build the vendor bundle by creating a file that require's all dependencies. The app bundle would have to be the difference between app and its dependencies and the vendor bundle.
https://github.com/systemjs/builder#example---common-bundles
However, if what you're after is turnaround time after changing source files, I would recommend looking at webpack. It has plugins to create delta bundles and with its webpack-dev-server it is very quick at rebuilding what has changed (about 2 seconds in my setup). I don't think you can get similar quick turnaround times using SystemJS.

If it feels like California is burning, it's not your imagination. Wildfire activity exploded in the state in August, from the Natchez Fire, burning at the northern edge of the state just a few hundred feet south of the Oregon border, to the Cloverdale Fire in Escondido, which threatened animals at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park before it was brought under control earlier in the month.
In between, nearly 1.25 million acres have burned across California in the 2018 fire season through August 26. Just two fires—the Carr Fire near Redding and the Mendocino Complex Fire near Clear Lake—account for more than half the total acreage burned.
And the season's not over yet.
You don't have to be in a fire zone to be at risk for health problems associated with wildfire smoke, which can travel hundreds of miles from the fire scene. The Respiratory Care Board licenses and regulates respiratory care practitioners across the state, who provide care to patient suffering from lung cancer, emphysema, asthma, or cystic fibrosis, or may be premature infants whose lungs have not yet fully developed. These patients are at the highest risk from wildfire smoke.
But even healthy adults can feel the effects when smoke levels are high. Common ailments include coughing, irritated sinuses, sore throat, and chest pain.
While you can build defensible space around your home to protect your possessions, there are steps you can take to protect your body. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) offers a guide of steps to take to decrease your risk from wildfire smoke.
Check local air quality reports and pay attention to public health messages about safety measures. Many California air quality districts have a presence on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, where it may be most convenient for consumers to keep track of their messages.
Keep indoor air as clean as possible. Keep windows and doors closed. Run an air conditioner, but keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. If you do not have an air conditioner and it is too warm to stay inside with the windows closed, seek shelter in a designated evacuation center or away from the affected area.
Avoid activities that increase indoor pollution, such as smoking, vacuuming, and burning candles, fireplaces, and gas stoves.
Follow the advice of your doctor or other healthcare provider about medicines and about your respiratory management plan if you have asthma or another lung disease. Consider evacuating if you are having trouble breathing. Check with your doctor or respiratory therapist if your symptoms worsen. You can check the status of your doctor's license at the Medical Board of California's website, and you can check the status of your respiratory care provider's license at the Respiratory Care Board's website.
Evacuate from the path of wildfires. Listen to the news to learn about current evacuation orders. Follow the instructions of local officials about when and where to evacuate. Take only essential items with you. Follow designated evacuation routes—others may be blocked—and plan for heavy traffic. It may be more than just your lungs you're saving!
Even after a wildfire is contained, it may take some time for local air quality to return to the healthy range. Minimize breathing dust particles when clearing debris or rebuilding, discard any food items that have been exposed to heat, smoke, or soot, and do not use any water that may be contaminated.
Your local air quality district will tell you: If you smell smoke, you're breathing in particulates. But by following the above tips, you'll be breathing a little more free and easy.

Tyler Austin hasn't forgotten what Yankees gave him

MINNEAPOLIS — Tyler Austin is making some serious noise as a hitter for the Twins, but he will never forget what it meant to grow up in the Yankees organization and the friendships he forged.
Austin has blasted seven home runs in 70 at-bats since being traded to the Twins in the Lance Lynn deal, posting an .865 OPS.
"Going from an organization that I've been in my whole career it's definitely a change,'' Austin said Monday night at Target Field before the Yankees played the Twins. "I'm starting to feel at home here. It is one of those transitions that takes some time but my fiancée and I love it here. I've tried to simplify things and just go out and play and enjoy myself. That's kind of the mindset I've taken on here.''
The first baseman is dealing with a back issue, but hopes to play in the three-game series. With the Yankees, Austin hit eight home runs in 121 at-bats, posting a .751 OPS. More consistent playing time has helped.
The transition became more complicated when Austin's dad, Chris, posted tweets that were critical of Greg Bird. Austin and Bird are friends. Austin said he had no idea his father had posted those tweets until he saw a screen shot and immediately took care of the situation.
"I was not happy with it at all,'' Austin told The Post after finishing an early round of batting practice. "We spoke about it and I've spoken to Greg about it. Greg and I developed a good relationship so it was tough for me to see that those were posted.
"I didn't know they were until someone screen shot it to me and I called my dad immediately and told him to delete them. I said, 'Dad we have to get rid of this. This is not acceptable.' He did and we moved on but I did not appreciate those tweets at all.
"I was truly hurt that he did that and I can only imagine how Greg felt so it was a tough thing. I'm so happy the way Greg handled it when I called him. If it had been the other way around I don't know how I would have handled it. It would have been a tough conversation but he handled it beautifully and I have nothing but good things to say about Greg Bird.''
Bird is in the middle of a nightmare season. He was back in the starting lineup Monday night after not playing the previous six games. He has three hits over his last 39 at-bats and is batting .197 with 11 home runs and a .670 OPS.
Bird, 25, and Austin, 26, came up together. That friendship has only grown.
"When I was there we had a very tight group,'' Austin said of the young Yankees.
Austin's father has learned from the situation, too, Tyler said.
"We're good now, we talked about it," he said. "We got through it and he understands he made a mistake.''
Tyler Austin ends his dad's crusade against Greg Bird
Tyler Austin is having his greatest major league success since...
Soon after the trade, Chris Austin tweeted: "18 home runs for Tyler on the year but bird is the word," followed up by another critical tweet saying, "Tyler has more hits with the twins in a week than bird has in a month with the Yankees."
It's all about moving forward. Austin sees only good things for the struggling Twins as he has been reunited with hitting coach James Rowson who was a hitting coach in the Yankees organization.
"We have a really, really good group here,'' Austin said. "We have a lot of guys injured right now, a lot of big pieces on the DL but I think there is a lot of talent on this team. I see this as a good thing and moving forward I see the Twins as having a good ballclub. I'm really excited to be here and really excited to be a part of it.''
Still, Austin will always appreciate his Yankee days.
"I owe everything to New York,'' he said. "Without the Yankees I don't know where I'd be right now. It was tough when I got traded. I developed a lot of good relationships over there.''

Despite having everything still to play for, the voting for Player of the Year will soon begin in earnest. There aren't too many home games left to get fans to fill in the slips of paper, and unlike most seasons recently, we could see anyone one of five or six players win the award.
Bradley Wood cleaned up last year for his all-action displays at right back, but this season is going to be very different. I'd wager that the awards will be split across different players rather than one man taking home the lot. I'm going to focus on the main prize, Player of the Year. Over the next six days I'll be looking at the six players that I believe will be in with a shout, and rating their chances of lifting the coveted prize on the field before the Macclesfield game.
So who will join the illustrious list of previous winners that includes such legends as Kevin Austin (1998), Simon Yeo (2005) and *ahem* Scott Kerr (2009)? Can Paul Farman or Bradley Wood join Sam Ellis (1976, 1977), Trevor Peake (1980, 1981) and Gareth Ainsworth (1996, 1997) in becoming two-time winners?
First up on my short list of favourites for the role is the captain himself, Luke Waterfall. If there was a 'most improved player' then there is no doubt the colossus at the back would walk away with it. After arriving from Wrexham it took him a while to settle in, and towards the end of 2015/16 season he found himself out of favour, replaced by veteran Jamie McCombe and Chris Bush. When Danny Cowley arrived in the summer I for one thought that Luke would be on his way.
It wasn't that he was a bad player last season, but we leaked goals and that is never good for a centre half. For almost a decade one of the problems we've had to contend with as a team is a weak defence, breached too often and with far too much ease by opposition strikers. Despite the strides made on the pitch last season, we still couldn't defend and we conceded far too many goals to challenge for the play-offs. When Sean Raggett signed from Dover I thought it pushed Luke further down the pecking order.
I am delighted that I was wrong. Ever since the opening day our no-nonsense rock at the back has been growing in stature and confidence. He's been heading bricks back alongside Sean since the 6-1 win over North Ferriby, and not since the days of McAuley and McCombe or Morgan and Futcher have we looked so assured and solid at the back. Danny said that his first task was to stop the side leaking goals, but nobody imagined the cornerstone of that change was already in the squad.
It isn't just that he has bagged a first team spot and kept it, it is his role as captain and leader that has iced the cake. From watching us lose heavily at Dover in mid-2016 to leading the side to wins against Tranmere and Forest Green just a few months later. He's fearless, rock solid and is a natural leader of men. I imagine his job as captain is made easier by the fact we have such great team spirit, but that sort of atmosphere is a reflection on the leaders, managers, captains and indeed all the senior players.
Luke has missed just one league game all season, the 1-0 defeat at Dagenham way back in August, and for that consistency alone I think he is in the running for Player of the Year. He even picked up a National League Player of the Month award as well, justified recognition for his outstanding displays. If you factor in the crucial goals he has scored then he has even more chance of picking up the prize, and finally a sprinkling of 'on the pitch leader' makes him one of the favourites to pick up a trophy. I'd wager if he doesn't get the main award due to the other outstanding candidates, then he may still need to clear a space for the 'away' Player of the Season.
It is so hard trying to pick defining moments for a centre half, especially as we still have crucial games ahead of us, but here are three reasons why you should consider voting for Luke Waterfall as Player of the Year.
2-1 down with just moments remaining, and Lincoln looked to be slipping 12 points behind FGR in the race for the title. We needed a moment of inspiration, we needed our big players to step up to the plate. A throw in was flicked on smartly by Rheady, and there was Luke Waterfall to catch the ball on the volley and make it 2-2. Minutes later Sean Raggett stole the headlines, but the controlled and emphatic finish from the captain made the reversal possible. It was a wonderful two minutes of the season, and one that will stick in my mind for years to come.
City were 1-0 up and cruising against a lacklustre Wrexham side, when just on the half hour mark Sean Raggett was shown a harsh red card for a studs up challenge. For the first time we got to see the side the Danny built in a proper scrap, and the captain had to show what he was made of. Wrexham pushed forward but leading by example, Luke Waterfall had a wonderful game. Callum Howe came on to form a defensive partnership that just months before had leaked goals like a sieve leaks water, but he slotted in next to Luke wonderfully. Luke Waterfall was resolute, strong and displayed the never-say-die attitude that we have come to love him for.
It might be remiss of me to pick another goal as there is so much more to his game, but having come from the relative majesty of Turf Moor to the relatively amateur surroundings of North Ferriby in just three days was a real test of our credentials. It wasn't an easy game, nor was it pretty but it was Luke Waterfall who nodded us to a 1-0 win. The was no 'after the Lord Mayors show', there was no FA Cup hangover, just Lincoln City doing the job they needed to do. Other teams might have faltered, other teams might have let the big occasion loud their concentration. Not us, and not our captain. Immediately after the Burnley win he was on television saying 'we focus on North Ferriby', and that was exactly what he did.
Tomorrow: We move on to Luke's defensive partner and fellow colossus, Sean Raggett.

Facts So Romantic On Matter
Watch Water Levitate, Flow Up, & Swirl the Wrong Way in the Other Hemisphere
Posted By Amos Zeeberg on Jun 20, 2015
The conventional wisdom is all wrong. Countless parents and teachers have gotten it twisted. The BBC and PBS aired bogus explanations. Even textbooks have botched the story.
The Earth's rotation, and the Coriolis effect that results, do not cause water to circle the drain in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Well, actually, they do—sometimes. But not in your sink, not by happenstance, and only if you go to great lengths to let Coriolis take over.
You can see two of the very rare occasions when latitude does control how water drains in these twin videos from the YouTube channels Smarter Every Day and Veritasium, which recorded tag-team-style explanation of the phenomenon. Start the two videos as close as you can to the same time, and you get excellent demonstrations from both sides of the Equator.
These may be the best of online watery demonstrations, but there are some other good examples, too. In this video, the backyard experimenter named brusspup sets up a speaker projecting a sine wave around 24 hertz into a hose squirting out water. With the camera set to capture 24 frames per second, the water appears to barely move at all, a great demonstration of the stroboscopic effect, the same thing that makes car wheels look like they're going the wrong way on TV. With the sound at 25 hertz, the water looks to be going in slow motion, clashing surreally with the regular-speed audio and camera movement. At 23 hertz—well, you can probably figure it out.
That collision of sound and video was perplexing enough that it threw off many of the commenters. Some of them concluded that the strange apparent motion of the water was due to a resonance effect of the vibrations on the water. That is a real and pretty phenomenon demonstrated in other videos, like this one:
Some of the other impressive water demonstrations are more in the line of magic tricks. British experimental psychologist Richard Wiseman and comedian and TV presenter Stephen Fry fooled viewers by covertly using plastic lids to make water appear to defy gravity and stick inside of inverted cups.
YouTuber Daniel DeEntremont angered an appreciable portion of the site's users with a water-based video he uploaded. In his trick he one-ups Wiseman and Fry by putting the inverted cup of water on a table and taking the cup away, leaving the water behind in the shape of the cup. For added verisimilitude, he says the trick is hard even for him to pull off, including several "outtakes" of him messing the trick up and spilling the water all over his table.
His secret? It's fake—just computer graphics. DeEntremont is a professional visual effects artist.
But perhaps the best special effect of all is freeing water from its gravitational bonds and watching its strange, unfamiliar behavior. It's easy to make a cool video of water when you're in space.

Our VOLTAGE creative team works hard for us, and, as project managers and directors, we try to do the same for them through communication, trust, empowerment and collaboration. We constantly work on ways to support the team as they learn and grow. Here we've shared some of our most effective methods.
Behold, our six tips for managing creatives!
Focus creative power and blow expectations out of the water with agile, effective and clear communication. Learning your creative's communication style is key – everyone communicates and understands differently. Meet your team where they are and build a communication system that works for everyone.
These open channels of communication work both ways. Team members should be encouraged to explain their creative thought processes. Understanding this process helps improve communication by leaps and bounds.
Maximize your effectiveness by testing your communication with varying feedback styles and amounts.
A great pilot helps navigate a project, and getting to know your team's strengths and weaknesses can help you steer projects in the right direction.
Assign a team member to a killer project that challenges their abilities.
Encourage another team member equipped with the skills already to help guide the work.
Review and continue practicing these new-found skills for a developed, well-rounded team.
Delegation can be stressful. We get that. Trust that your team possesses the necessary skills to get the job done. Placing confidence in your team and seeing a great outcome fosters trust in your team members.
Additionally, try hosting a Creative Day. VOLTAGE holds Creative Generation Days in which we give a creative team some prompts and a few hours to craft weird, cool and kooky content. See past results here: Creative Days.

It's like someone turned on the lights.
On the latest episode of the SBS drama"Defendant", Park Jeong-woo (Ji Sung) paid back Cha Min-ho (Uhm Ki-joon) with an eye for an eye.
Jeong-woo had been bullied by Cha Min-ho a countless number of times so he got his prosecutor friend Choi Dae-hong (Park Ho-san) to arrange a meeting with Min-ho. Jeong-woo used his fatherly love for his daughter Park Ha-yeon (Shin Rin-ah) on Min-ho. Jeong-woo used the fact that Cha Eun-soo, Na Yeon-hee (Eom Hyeon-kyeong) and Cha Seon-ho's (Uhm Ki-joon) son was Min-ho's blood relative and that he would have Sin Cheol-sik (Jo Jae-yoon) kill him.
Min-ho was intimidated with Jeong-woo's attack and tried to negotiate with him; Ha-yeon for the knife which was the ultimate proof. However, it didn't work. Jeong-woo refused to make a deal and told him he would find Ha-yeon. Then he got Sin Cheol-sik on the phone to prove that he was with Yeon-hee and Eun-soo.
Min-ho shook with rage for an hour and in the end, let Ha-yeon go. Seo Eun-hye (Kwon Yoo-ri) and Yoon Tae-soo (Kang Seong-min) found Ha-yeon and reunited with her in tears. Jeong-woo also saw Ha-yeon. It was a touching moment for them.
Jeong-woo then took Ha-yeon to the prosecutors. He had the knife that stabbed his wife Yoon Ji-soo (Son Yeo-eun) to death as evidence to put Cha Min-ho in jail. He said, "My daughter is alive. I surrender myself to prove my innocence".

Self-winding automatic watches depend on the movement of the arm to operate and do require some winding, even if you wear your watch on a daily basis.
If you wear your Automatic watch every day, it is best to wind it once, every two weeks to keep the wheels in motion and oil fluid. Simply wind the crown (the same knob used to adjust the time and date) until you meet slight resistance.
If you do not wear your Automatic watch every day, you should try to wind it at least twice a week to ensure continuous operation, as well as keeping the inside mechanism in complete running order.
Try to wind your mechanical watch at the same time every day. This is extremely beneficial for the mechanism. You may want to make it a routine, winding it every morning when you wake up.
Avoid setting the day and/or date (if your watch has these functions) at night. The day-date mechanism is activated during the night-time hours and could be disrupted if set at this time.
And, always avoid wearing your mechanical watch, if you are playing a sport requiring continuous arm motion (e.g. tennis, baseball, golf), since continuous arm motion could damage the movement.
The first auto chronograph movement
Was Zenith El Primero really the first automatic chronograph movement?
Well, technically no, and yet one could argue that indeed it was. While automatic movements became frequent during the 50s, the automatic chronograph movement did not appear until very late in the 60s (1969).
At the time it was thought an impossible task for a single house to achieve the development of an auto-chrono movement on the grounds of insufficient technology, manpower and budget. Therefore, in the pursuit of such a noble horological purpose, alliances were made and two different groups appeared. One of such group was form by Breitling, Hamilton/Bren, Heuer/Leonidas and Dubois-Dpraz, and the second competitor in the race was formed by the Zenith-Movado group.
The Breitling group assigned a task division. Bren developed the basic movement, which consisted of an Intramatic 1280 (or 1322?*) caliber with an eccentrically mounted, small massive rotor. Dubois-Dpraz developed the chronograph module, which was based on module #8510. And finally, Breitling, Hamilton and Heuer assembled the parts, producing caliber 11 (and claiming the glory). In the meanwhile, Zenith had bought Matel (a company specialized on Chrono movements) from Universal Geneve, and assigned them the task of developing the idea of an auto-chrono for Zenith.
By 1969 both groups had accomplished their objectives. The Breitling group announced their caliber 11 on March 3, while Zenith announced their El Primero (based on a PHC 3019 caliber) some time in September of that year.
Indeed the Breitling group did developed caliber 11 half a year earlier than Zenith; however, the later argued that while caliber 11 was the first (here is the trick) chronograph module with automatic winding, it was them (Zenith) who had actually developed the first fully integrated chronograph automatic winding movement. Thus El Primero (The First).
Some other interesting info, the caliber 11 had the crown on the left and the chronograph pushers on the right, two registers and day of the month. It did not have a continuos second hand, but just the chrono second hand. The chrono module was attached to the watch movement by only three screws. (There is a great illustration of this movement, as well as the Zenith movement, in pages 60 and 61 of the book Chronograph. Wristwatches to Stop Time by Gerd-R Lang and Reinhard Meis).
The caliber 11 had two shortcomings. The micro-rotor would not work well enough and therefore winding was difficult, and the main spring was weak so the watch would easily stop. It seems that Valjoux might have developed its 7740 caliber based on caliber 11, but this movement disappeared when Valjoux was later bought by ETA.
El Primero movement disappeared in1972 when Zenith was acquired by Radio Zenith Corp., and later reintroduced in 1982.
A last piece of info is that Seiko might have announced a chronograph automatic movement (based on a 6139 caliber) on May of 1969, which would made Zeniths El Primero el segundo o el tercero (the second or third).

At this point, the application is functionally complete, but you certainly couldn't call it beautiful, well designed, or polished. But it's easy to enhance by adding some simple design elements. This example uses a dark color scheme similar to the design chosen by Blend itself, and also by Vista, Office 2007, and other applications. Feel free to substitute a color scheme that is more to your liking.
Figure 7. Subtle Gradient: The sample application uses a subtle linear gradient applied to the window background, from black to a color that is just slightly off-black.
First, change the window background to black (or another color of your choice). However, con't set it to a solid black because that usually looks artificial and "computer graphic-y." Instead, set the background to a simple linear gradient that starts out pure black in the top-left corner and is just slightly off-black in the bottom-right corner. Creating subtle gradients is a simple trick that often results in a more polished look. In nature, nothing is just a single color. When you look at a wall, for instance, due to lighting in the room, its color will vary slightly over different parts of the wall, even though the wall itself is painted in just a single color. A wall with exactly the same color everywhere would look unnatural to the human eye. Therefore, creating a subtle gradient looks very natural and "right." This trick works only on a subconscious level. If users actually notice the gradient, the trick falls apart. Therefore, keep the two gradient colors close, and use colors from the same color family. A gradient from a dark red to a dark green is never subtle. Figure 7 shows the property settings for a black to slightly off-black gradient.
Another simple trick with gradients is to avoid making them run exactly vertical or exactly horizontal (unless you want to simulate a material that has just such a property, as in the glass example below). You can use the "Brush Transform" tool from the Blend Toolbox to easily change the angle of the gradient. Select the root layout grid (you'll apply this effect to the grid, not the window, although in this example you could have chosen one or the other with equal success) and pick the Brush Transform tool, which shows a big arrow in the design window. Simply drag the start of the arrow to the top-left corner of the grid/window, and the end of it to the bottom-right corner. You can now launch the application to see the resulting effect. However, you will quickly notice that not much of the effect is visible, because the list boxes use up almost the entire window. To see more of the effect, set the background brushes of both lists to be only 10 percent opaque. This will make the individual items hard to read for now, but I'll show you how to address that later. Now, run the application to see the initial design. It still isn't very fancy, but it's definitely a start towards creating a unique experience.
button, specify a filename for the dictionary (such as BlackSkin.xaml) and then choose to store the template in that dictionary.
Blend automatically puts you in template editing mode as a result of the preceding steps. Select the grid (the root layout element of the template) and set its width to 150 pixels, and the height to 185 pixels. This explicitly defines the height of each item in the team list, and provides some extra space for each list item—and a look that's distinctly different from conventional Windows list box items. Because each list item is itself a grid, you have great freedom in designing each item. Continuing with the "black skin" approach used so far, I chose to implement a black "glassy" look for each item. Glass effects are currently all the rage, and can be produced easily without much artistic talent, as you'll see.
Author's Note: Author's Note: I chose this example theme because it is currently in fashion. Many applications—including Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007—use this style, and it's relatively easy to create. In future installments of this article series, you'll see other themes and techniques as well.
Right-click the text block in the object tree and choose "Order → Bring to Front" to show the text label as the topmost object. Then, in the property grid, change its vertical alignment to Top, change the Height to 21 pixels, set the font to 14-point bold. The foreground color has to be solid white, and the text alignment (in the paragraph tab of the Text category in the property sheet) should be set to Center. You also need a margin around the object, so set the right and left margin to four pixels and the top margin to eight pixels. Figure 8 shows the template in design mode. To see the result (displayed in Figure 9), run the application.
Figure 8. Team Item Data Template: The figure shows the data template for a team item in design mode. Note the gradient settings for the background brush.
Figure 9. Running Application: Here's a preliminary version of the application at runtime using the data template.


These Treet double edge safety razor blades are known in the shaving community as Black Beauty. Made of Carbon Steel.
Comes in tucks of 10.
To quote Daniel Craig in Skyfall "Well, I like to do some things the old-fashioned way." Using double edged razor blades is to say the old fashioned way and these Treet blades in my mind, how can I put it, works a 'Treet'. They're smooth and can be used in any razor but great in a razor with a larger blade gap. So if you have a couple of days stubble which may call for a more aggressive razor you don't feel you're going to cut yourself to ribbons. Which is a good thing, Thumbs up.
Known as "Black Beauties" I have recently tried one of these and I can honestly say I am so impressed that I have another Six packs on the way. Give them a try like I did, and you will get a shock !!
These are my go-to everyday blades, always a good shave!
I am steadily trying a variety of blades but I keep coming back to these. These are my favourite I've tried so far.

Gyms & Sports Facilities
The trend for putting gyms in close proximity to residents is growing.
Noise and vibration from gyms and exercise spaces can be very disturbing for sensitive occupants, such as residents, who are in the same building.
Especially if the suitability of a building for fit-out as a gym, has not been done correctly, or at all. Good acoustic design is essential to get this to work, especially in light weight buildings, as opposed to traditional heavy buildings built using concrete and block. Today, most residential buildings are built with light weight systems. This then requires consideration of the baseline building response to heavy and repetitive impacts. This is where we can help!
We have an impressive amount of experience in this area, and are at the forefront of guidance for best practice. We are keen to provide our services to help reduce risk for operators looking for sites, so if you are planning to open a gym, be working with us you will have the support and expertise available to you that you will need to find and convert the right site. We are also keen to encourage and facilitate the health and well being benefits for society. So the more people who can enjoy the benefits of urban and suburban health and fitness in a safe and fun environment, whilst ensuring others close by are not suffering stress from noise and vibration that results from these activities, the better.
So how do we do this? We do this by using the base response of the building to heavy impacts to identify what levels of mitigation treatments may be required to make the project viable, and then to confirm that standards have been achieved to enable the smooth transition from site selection, to fit-out, to operation without falling out with your neighbours. We also can also offer trouble shooting for residents that are affected, to assist with resolving problems that have slipped through, or where commercial residents convert to residential and require 'Agent of change' mitigation to be assessed.
Our experience in this area has led us to propose a national standardised test methodology, based on a practical approach to enable the real building response to various input forces to be robustly assessed in a repeatable and consistent fashion. Check out our paper on Gym Testing Methodology under the 'Publications' section of this site. Peter Rogers, Sustainable Acoustics' MD is now chairing the newly formed working group of the Association of Noise Consultant, tasked with developing new standards for acoustics in gyms, so watch this space for updates.
"At Sustainable Acoustics we are building the foundations for one of the most relevant new standards in acoustics today, leading the way for relevant reuse of buildings as part of sustainable development."

The Slandering of Cardinal Burke
One of the more colorful figures along the route of this year's March for Life was a passionate eccentric of some sort – probably a fundamentalist or pentecostal – who was carrying a large anti-Catholic sign and shouting through a bullhorn. I only caught a bit of it – the usual stuff about the pope being the anti-Christ and Catholics "worshipping Mary as a goddess." Poor man. But give him this much: beneath the craziness, he really believes that the forms of Christian leadership and the contents of faith matter. I heard him say to another marcher: "This is serious stuff, man!"
On Friday, in Washington, we got something not very serious from The Washington Post: a silly smear of Cardinal Raymond Burke under the heading "How Pope Francis Can Cleanse the Far-Right Rot from the Catholic Church." It was written by a journalist, Emma-Kate Symons, with about as much sense of fact and context in the Church as the guy with the bullhorn. Here's the opening sentence: "Pope Francis needs to take tougher action against the United States' most influential Catholic in Rome, Cardinal Raymond 'Breitbart' Burke."
Breitbart once interviewed Burke – on Islam no less – you see. So now Breitbart is his middle name.
People disturbed by orthodox Catholicism exist, and always will. But this "journalist" wasn't ranting on some street corner or alt-left blog, but at the once-moderate Post. There's been a hard turn to port since Amazon's Jeff Bezos bought it. But any editor, whatever his ideological leanings, should have taken one look at this op-ed and known it was nonsense. Nonsense on stilts.
But the Post is not alone in letting political passion get the best of professionalism. Earlier last week, The New York Times carried a front page "news" story – actually an ill-sourced hatchet job – by Jason Horowitz along much the same lines: "Steve Bannon Carries Battle to Another Influential Hub: The Vatican."
This whole nutty thing hinges on a meeting that took place in 2014 between Cardinal Burke and Steve Bannon, the White House brawler. In its hysteria over President Trump, the media loves to portray Bannon as some kind of storm trooper. I'm not a fan of Bannon or of Breitbart, which he used to run. (I once turned down an appearance on Breitbart radio to talk with Bannon about Catholics critical of Trump because I knew he would simply trash me. He promised not to. But then did precisely that to the person who went on: Robbie George.) Still, the truth is the truth. Bannon's MO is sometimes self-defeating, in my view, but the media are simply discrediting themselves with McCarthyite tactics about him, and the whole Trump cabinet, for that matter.
But back to Burke. The Post story goes on from mentioning that 2014 meeting to weaving together a truly insane narrative: that Burke is part of a global anti-Muslim, anti-woman, pro-nationalist, pro-everything-bad movement that came to power with the victory of The Donald and is being masterminded by Bannon. But as our astute friend Phil Lawler has noted, the meeting took place in 2014, which is to say nearly two years before Trump began his run. And long before anyone thought Bannon might work for Trump. So how exactly did that one meeting, years ago, so mark Burke that Francis now needs to clean out "the far-right rot from the Catholic Church"?
Cardinal Burke
Well, Bannon also spoke at a 2014 conference sponsored by the Dignitatis Humanae Foundation in Rome. Burke is on DH's board. Ergo, the thrice-divorced politico and the doughty defender of marital indissolubility must be interchangeable. No?
And, not incidentally, our intrepid op-ed writer has discovered that another Cardinal on the DH board signed the dubia on Amoris laetitia as well. The implication, of course, is that opposition to Communion for the divorced and remarried is of a piece with "far-right rot."
Like much in the mainstream media, there's a fictional line between the two being drawn here, as anyone who really knows anything about the situation would discount. Bannon, as noted, is a brawler – the world sometimes needs the right kind of brawler. Burke, by contrast, is the mildest of men – the world needs them, too. If you don't know that, you don't know Burke. Bannon has spoken about the threats of Islam and cultural Marxism to the West and how they need to be combated politically. Burke, too – as have many of us – but as might be expected for somewhat different reasons, and with a very different tone.
Burke has long mostly concerned himself with doctrinal matters in the Church and – let's not forget – served as the prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. Brainy technical stuff; not partisan or populist politics. In fact, he often speaks – something that, at least to me, expresses his deepest passion – of how the failure of Catholic education for a half-century has wounded the Church and obscured the teachings entrusted to Her by Jesus for our salvation. He's said little that could, in any normal sense of the word, be called political.
But link Bannon and Burke in guilt by association and you have an alt-left, two-birds-with-one-stone bonanza. The Cardinal was already on the outs with Francis over the firing and rehiring of the Grand Chancellor of the Order of Malta. That incident, too, was confusion worse confounded. But the upshot is that Pope Francis has now appointed a personal delegate to Malta and the Cardinal Patron (Burke) now seems without portfolio. The Post story won't help.
And then, of course, there's that matter of Burke and three other Cardinals publishing the dubia about Amoris laetitia – questions not only about whether now, contradicting previous Catholic history, it permits Communion for the divorced and remarried, but also whether it's shifted moral theology itself about conscience, exceptionless norms, intrinsic evils, and the very theology of the Holy Eucharist.
You may believe that Burke et al. were wrong in publishing their dubia (they'd earlier presented them to the pope privately). Or you may think that Burke himself has been wrongly treated (as have others in the Curia) by being dismissed from office without explanation. But you have to be barking mad to equate a mild-mannered prince of the Church with everything the mainstream media finds repugnant – and worse – about our new administration.
Just one more sign of how unhinged things in the Church and the world have become.
One of the moral categories that has disappeared, along with much else in Western culture, is slander. It's worse than lying. It's lying to harm. Look it up. And, please, recognize it when you see it.

'I still hate the glow of the setting sun': Hiroshima survivors tell it all
HIROSHIMA Asia Pacific
Survivors of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima, (top L to R) Keiko Ogura, Park Nam-Joo, Sunao Tsuboi, and (bottom row L to R) Shigeaki Mori, Misako Katani and Emiko Okada in Hiroshima. (AFP Photo)
For survivors of the world's first nuclear attack, the day America unleashed a terrible bomb over the city of Hiroshima remains seared forever in their minds.
Though their numbers are dwindling and the advancing years are taking a toll, their haunting memories are undimmed by the passage of more than seven decades.
On the occasion of Barack Obama's offering of a floral tribute on Friday at the cenotaph in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park -- the first ever visit by a sitting US.. president -- some of them share their stories with AFP.
Emiko Okada
Emiko Okada, now 79, was about 2.8 kilometres (1.7 miles) from ground zero and suffered severe injuries in the blast. Her sister was killed.
"All of a sudden a flash of light brightened the sky and I was slammed to the ground. I didn't know what on earth had happened. There were fires everywhere. We rushed away as the blaze roared toward us.
"The people I saw looked nothing like human beings. Their skin and flesh hung loose. Some children's eyeballs were popping out of their sockets.
"I still hate to see the glow of the setting sun. It reminds me of that day and brings pain to my heart.
"In the aftermath, many children who had evacuated during the war came back here, orphaned by the bomb. Many gangsters came to Hiroshima from around the country and gave them food and guns.
"President Obama is a person who can influence the world. I hope that this year will be the beginning of knowing what actually happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki under the mushroom clouds."
Keiko Ogura
Keiko Ogura, now 78, has devoted her life to keeping alive the memory of the devastating day.
"Shortly after (the bomb exploded) it rained. It was a sticky black rain and made my clothes wet.
"I saw a line of seriously burnt people, like silent ghosts.
"Suddenly, a girl grabbed my leg and said in a weak voice: 'Give me water.' Others also said: 'Water. Water.'
"I brought water to them, but some died right after they drank it. I regretted giving it to them.
"I saw smoke from a nearby park where bodies were being cremated. Sometimes I could smell the bodies burning.
"We faced the horror (of nuclear weapons). I tell everybody that it was hell. But they don't understand.
"There is no peace in Hiroshima. There is horror here."
Park Nam-Joo
Park Nam-Joo, now 83, is an ethnic Korean, who has suffered from breast and skin cancer because of the radiation she was exposed to that day.
An estimated 20,000 Koreans were among the dead in Hiroshima. Many had been taken to Japan as forced labourers during its 1910-1945 colonial rule of the Korean peninsula:
"Everything was broken to pieces. Everywhere was rubble. It's beyond description. It was inhumane.
"Hiroshima was a sea of fire. People bled from everywhere on their bodies: 'I'm burning. I'm burning. Please help,' they cried.
"The wounds of the living were infested with maggots. There was no medicine for it.
"People say human life is to be revered but the lives of those who died in the atomic bombing were just like those of insects.
"I still shed tears when I recall the scene. Many people don't want to remember that.
"I want people to know that not only Japanese but Korean, Chinese and others also suffered in the atomic bombing.
"I'm Catholic. Wearing a rosary and with a statue of the Virgin Mary next to me, I pray at night for a peaceful passage to heaven."
Misako Katani
Misako Katani, now 86, is one of the rare survivors of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
When her mother and sister were killed in the Hiroshima bomb she took their ashes to the ancestral graveyard in Nagasaki -- only to be caught up in the second atomic blast.
"My father told me 'Your mom and Tamie (Katani's sister) should be there.' So I removed the rubble and found my mother's ashen bones.
"I put them into a box. And then I found bones which were too fragile to pick up. My father said: 'Those are Tamie's.' I guess my mother tried to escape while holding my sister. And then the house collapsed on them and they burned to death.
"I still vividly remember the scene. It's unforgettable. I almost cry when I revisit the past.
"I suffered from a lot of lung afflictions such as pneumonia. Whenever I sit at our family Buddhist altar, I tell my late mother, 'Hi mom, please take me to your place.' but she never does.
"The colour of my memories is grey.
"I don't dislike America although I hated it in the past. I want to meet (President Obama) and tell him, 'Please do not wage war anymore'."
Shigeaki Mori
Shigeaki Mori, now 79, is known for his study of the fate of U.S. prisoners of war who were in Hiroshima. He now researches the fate of Australian POWs in Nagasaki.
"I was blown into a river while walking on a bridge. I was under the mushroom cloud. I decided to stay in the river for a while.
"I crawled up out of the water and saw a woman tottering toward me. Blood was everywhere on her body, and internal organs hung from her abdomen. While holding them, she asked me where she could find a hospital. Crying, I ran away, leaving her alone.
"People who were still alive were collapsed all around me. I escaped by stamping on their faces and heads. I heard screams from a broken down house. But I ran away as I was still a child with no power to help."
Sunao Tsuboi
Sunao Tsuboi, now 91, is co-chairperson of the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations. He suffered serious burns and developed cancer and other diseases, but remains active in his lifelong campaign for a nuclear free world.
"I suffered burns all over my body. I had a terrible experience. Naked, I tried to run away for about three hours on August 6 but finally could no longer walk. I then wrote on the ground (with a small rock), 'Tsuboi dies here.'
"I lost consciousness several times and eventually came to on September 25.
"I can tolerate hardships for the sake of human happiness. I may die tomorrow but I'm optimistic. I will never give up. We want zero nuclear weapons.
"An apology doesn't matter. I just want (President Obama) to come and visit Hiroshima and see real things and listen to the voice of survivors."

Giselle Roux: Bitcoin mania 'just a joke'
The Australian 19 January 2018
Cliona O'Dowd
Bitcoin mania has taken hold across the world, but Giselle Roux is more than happy to watch from the sidelines.
"It's just a joke … It's silly. It's symptomatic that there's a bit of 'fear of missing out' money running around — and it's not particularly well-informed money," the chief investment officer of Escala Partners says.
"It's always a concern in markets when people start to chase performance rather than rational valuation and fundamentals.
"The logic in the way the pricing moves is something I can't fathom. So I'm quite happy to miss out (on bitcoin). We shouldn't throw away the fact that distributed ledger technology is going to do something valuable at some point but pricing of whatever bitcoin is, I'm not sure that applies."
Roux, one of Australia's most highly regarded investment strategists, has headed the investment team at the boutique wealth firm since 2013. Before that she spent six years as chief investment officer at wealth manager JB Were.
She expects the Australian sharemarket to follow its global peers higher this year but says the low-growth financial sector will hold it back. There are still pockets of interest, she says, including the resources sector, which she views as most promising in the short term.
"The cost-out thesis is most inherently promising from a company's perspective, but some firms just don't have the capacity because of inherited legacy or the willingness to make significant changes to their cost structure, probably because of the degree of initial disruption before the pay-off," she says. "I think the banks have problems reducing costs because of their legacy-embedded structures."
With the low-growth banking sector set to plod along, Roux says dividend payouts aren't at risk.
"The banks have restructured their capital base considerably so it feels for the foreseeable future that dividends are safe. But they're unlikely to grow much at all."
Muted expectations for the local banking sector are in stark contrast to the outlook for the financial sector in the US, due in part to Donald Trump's tax reforms. "It's a really interesting time in equity markets right now," Roux says. "We've seen clear signs of a rotation from growth-type stocks, such as the big internet companies — which have been very dominant over the last five years — toward cyclicals.
"We're seeing people rotate to financials, companies where the leverage to the current global economic activity levels is better. And we've seen funds rotate from those iconic big names to stocks that are perhaps smaller, that have more potential upside from this point."
The next leg of growth for the Googles and Amazons in the US is going to be more difficult, since they already dominate their industry sectors. As they move into new areas it's harder for them to create that same level of dominance, Roux warns.
"So investors are picking up stocks in the retail sector, companies that have already adapted to deal with some of the disruptive factors. Then it comes down to brand names that can create their own destiny through social media rather than big marketing budgets. So there's a generic set of names that you find fund managers are starting to look at as alternatives to hanging out in the big names."
Locally, Roux cautions that the high-flying small and mid-cap sector is looking overheated and is one area of vulnerability for the market. "They might be decent companies but the valuation has lost its way a little. We've seen valuations of 25 or 30 times for good companies, but nothing that warrants that level of valuation."
A2 Milk and Costa are two such companies that are looking toppy, she says. "This is not being in any way judgmental about them as companies, it is simply a question of how much do you pay for a company of that kind?" Roux says.
"What you typically see is when those valuations unwind it drags the small-cap sector with it. The small-cap sector is much more prone to these heaves and waves of valuation cycles. And at the most extreme you're seeing hot money going into anything that has the name 'lithium' or 'bitcoin' in it. It's money going into these things without having any idea what the businesses are, and a lot of them haven't even got any money."
Meanwhile, investors banking on bond proxies for yield could also be in for a shock. Bond proxies are shares that generally offer predictable, reliable dividend streams.
"In the second half of the year, some of the bond proxies are going to be affected by rising global interest rates," Roux says.
"It will have an impact on them even if our own interest rates don't rise. Shares like infrastructure stocks and property trusts, companies where the first port of call is the yield."
The big question for the economy now, she says, is what's next after the mining and housing boom? "We're always dependent on one or two industry sectors. At the moment we're quite dependent on the export sector and state-based infrastructure spending. If we see China tightening in the early part of the year, as anticipated, we could see softer-than-expected commodity prices and commodity demand. So that's a risk, which is why the resource sector, while it looks fine now, may be riskier further into the year."
