Music, Q10
Glasgow based Frightened Rabbit, originally from Selkirk, formed in 2003 under the lead of Scott Hutchison the bands lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and lyricist. Other members include brother Grant Hutchison on drums, guitarist and bassist Billy Kennedy, guitarist Andy Monaghan and keyboardist Gordon Skene.
Originally the name 'Frightened Rabbit' was the stage name for Scott's solo shows, but as it developed into a fully fledged band the name stuck. The debut album 'Sing the Greys' was released back in May 2006. By January 2007 they did an east coast tour of America organised by The Self Starter Foundation, followed by an appearance at SXSW. On the back of the Brighton indie label Fat Cat Records, who released a remixed/remastered version of the album in the USA (distributed by Caroline Distribution), the band did an extensive American tour in the autumn of 2007
In April 2008 the band released the album The Midnight Organ Fight, recorded at producer Peter Katis's Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut. At this point guitarist Andy Monaghan had also joined the band, after a chance meeting with Scott at a New Years Eve Party.
The third album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, was announced in the autumn of 2009 alongside the arrival of a fifth band member, Gordon Skene. The album released spring 2010 was primarily recorded at Castle Sound Studios, in Pencaitland, Scotland – with further recording taking place at Peter Katis's studio. On release the album was greeted with much praise from 'those music pillars' on both sides of the Atlantic.

Over the past few months, MyBroadband has received regular complaints from Telkom customers who are having trouble cancelling their services.
These include ADSL and fibre customers who want to cancel their package, and LTE customers who want to deactivate their month-to-month subscriptions.
Responding to queries surrounding these complaints from MyBroadband, Telkom previously stated that customers should contact the national customer care channels via phone call or email, or use the online service to cancel their product.
Despite this advice, MyBroadband continues to receive regular complaints from frustrated Telkom customers who are unable to cancel their products through these channels.
The most recent complaints received by MyBroadband include customers who are having difficulties cancelling ADSL, fibre, and LTE packages, with some battling to cancel their products since the beginning of the year.
One LTE subscriber attempted to cancel his product in-store and via email to no avail, and was billed for the extended period which he said Telkom took to process his cancellation.
Another Telkom customer has attempted to cancel his ADSL line for almost a year now, with no success. He continues to receive invoices for his monthly line payments, despite filing for a cancellation in January 2018.
Some users have also reported problems with Telkom's systems regarding product installation and migration.
One user complained that he was unable to get Telkom to release his fibre line so that he can move to a different ISP, while another said he has been charged every month for an ADSL line that was never installed to his premises and which he has unsuccessfully attempted to cancel.
In most of these cases, customers have exhausted every option to try and cancel their Telkom product, let alone recoup the costs they incurred since filing for cancellation.
Customers then contact MyBroadband, stating that they have no other avenue to attempt to cancel their product.
MyBroadband sent the details of two customers who were unable to cancel their services to Telkom for feedback, and asked whether the company was experiencing system issues that prevented product cancellation.
A Telkom spokesperson told MyBroadband that Telkom customers must give the company 30 days notice to process the cancellation.
Telkom confirmed that cancellations for all of its products are processed through the same system. This may point to why customers subscribed to a variety of different products are experiencing similar problems.
"Our online cancellation process applies to all services and ensures cases are traceable and we can track end to end," Telkom said.
The company confirmed that it was experiencing some "internal system issues", but described its online process as very robust.
With regard to the two cases sent to Telkom by MyBroadband, the company said neither cancellation was filed using the online channels.
"They are both very old cases when we were still on an email system, which caused us problems in locating requests and/or not receiving them at all," Telkom said.
The company added that it was now processing the cancellations for both of these cases.


Okay, so we're a little behind on the summer blockbusters, but who doesn't love a good end of the world, natural disaster movie? From our perspective, San Andreas is one of the greatest cinematic experiences of the year (took us back to the good ol' days of The Day After Tomorrow). It's filled with action, special effects, and fairly accurate geographic renderings. Then there's The Rock and he saves the day… well, at least his own family. But from a STEM geek perspective there are a few impossibilities that we just couldn't stop thinking about.
In the opening scene of the film, a teenage girl dramatically plunges off a cliff in San Fernando Valley. The car sticks precariously on the side of the cliff, and the star of the movie, Ray (played by Dwayne Johnson), brings his helicopter crew in to save her. During the rescue, he performs a maneuver he calls, "tip the hat" in which he turns the helicopter sideways and wedges it in between the walls of the cliff, with mere inches of clearance. An experienced chopper pilot would die laughing at how this scene defies a number of physical laws, but it's actually pretty cool to watch if you don't know it's scientifically impossible.
Okay, let's overlook the fact that the helicopter maneuvers in this scene aren't exactly possible. Is it really advisable to send a helicopter, generating wind speeds similar to that of a hurricane, directly over a teenager in a car hanging on by a thread in a cliff?
3. Would a Trained Rescue Worker Really Take Off With a Rescue Chopper to Save His Own Family?
Ray was supposed to have conducted hundreds of successful rescue missions, many in war conditions in the Middle East. Is it really believable that such a trained and disciplined pilot would abandon his home city and team to conduct a rogue rescue of his own family in equipment owned by the city?
4. What are the Chances a Scientist Will Learn to Predict a Major Quake Precisely 30 Seconds Before the World's Largest One?
The ability to one day predict a quake in time to issue alerts isn't so implausible. Scientists around the world have worked toward this goal for decades. What is unlikely is that one of them will finally figure it out just 30 seconds before the worst earthquake outbreak in the history of humanity.
At the beginning of the movie, Dr. Kim Park (Will Yun Lee) predicted the Hoover Dam quake in Nevada just seconds before it occurred. He was unable to escape. Later, Lawrence (Paul Giamatti) used the exact same prediction model to give the residents of San Francisco hours of notice in order to evacuate the city. Keep it straight, Hollywood!
6. If Cell Towers are Out, What are the Chances Telephone Wires Endured?
Ray's daughter is a smart young lady, and leads a couple of her newly-made friends to an electronics shop in search of a landline phone when the cell phones are rendered useless. But what are the chances that the landlines between San Francisco and Los Angeles survived when all the cell towers were knocked out — especially considering the earth opened a 50-plus-foot gap in between those points? Note: if two magnitude 9-plus earthquakes hit the California coast, you can pretty much forget about making any calls out there for awhile.
For history and natural disaster buffs, it's interesting to note that the largest earthquake in North America was indeed in Alaska. It was actually a 9.2 that struck the region of Prince William Sound in 1964. It was followed by a tsunami, but actually caused far less loss of life and property than many other lesser-magnitude quakes. Only 130 people died, partially due to the Good Friday holiday, which kept many workers and children at home and away from the most devastated areas.
The highest magnitude earthquake recorded in history was a 9.5 in Valdivia, Chile in 1960. Killing 1,655 people and injuring another 3,000, it drove over 2 million people into homelessness. The tsunami that ensued killed people as far away from the epicenter as Japan, the Philippines, and Hawaii. Yet a 9.6 as depicted in the movie in as populated a region as the California coast, followed by a tsunami, would likely kill millions and leave millions more injured and homeless.

Q: Pycharm typehint for Numpy array of objects I have multiple numpy arrays with different objects. How can I give 'type-hint' to the Pycharm so that I can get methods of that class while coding? For example,
import numpy as np

class Test:
    def do_task():
       pass

data = [Test(), Test(), Test()]
my_array = np.array(data, dtype=Test)

def test_hint(array:np.ndarray):  # <-- I can give typehint as array but I also want to give hint about what kind of array it is.
    for a in array:
         a.... # Here I want Pycharm to give me list of methods from 'Test' class

I can always explicitly mention what kind of object it is like following,
for a in array:
   temp = a # type: Test
   temp... # Here Pycharm will give me all the suggestions.

Is there any way I can provide type-hint in the constructor so that I do not need to write additional line of code to declare type of data? I tried looking at python's type module for some clue, but couldn't find any.

Q: Printing warning to stderr if -W error is enabled on pytest I need to fail my tests when warning is occur. I enable -W error in pytest config but in this case warning is not printed to stderr.
How can I print warnings to stderr even if warning throws exception?
Once again: I need both printing to stderr and throwing an exception when warning is occur.

A: There are many ways to do this. Assuming you want to do this all the time, the easiest way to do this might be to annotate the test module with:
   # turns all warnings into errors for this module
   pytestmark = pytest.mark.filterwarnings('error')

Totally agree with the need for the fat in this one! It makes it oh so crispy and delicious! It looks great and the other variations sound wonderful as well.
Your dish looks scrumptious! Thanks for the alternative serving suggestions. Great info.
Looks wonderful on top of the salad - a great easy dinner.
How did I miss this food blogging event, we love butterfoot. I have made this chicken recipe before - so good!!!
I'm catching up on all your posts. The pie crusts look so heavenly-especially as the base for your pretty quiche. Your little cobbler-ettes look scrumptious and now on to the chicken. So yummy. I loved mine. Looks wonderful!
lol! add a few minutes to your work out! So true!
Your chicken looks delicious! Great job!
I so wanted to join the Barefoot Bloggers group as Ina's recipes are such a delight every time I read about them. Still, after reading the rules I realised I couldn't apply :(. Your chicken parmesan looks as scrumptious as all of Ina's recipes.
Thought I'd let you know that I made this tonight for dinner. Except for my kids, I put over pasta. It was a HUGE hit! Love the blog!

Marine Corps Commandant: In 15 Years, Our Aircraft Won't Need a Human in the Cockpit
The Commandant of the Marine Corps insists the technology is there.
By Kyle Mizokami
The head of the United States Marine Corps says the Marines' air power could be completely uncrewed within 15 years.
General Robert B. Neller, commandant of the Marine Corps, says the technology exists to realize this future. Neller stressed, however, that aircraft would not be completely autonomous, and would still be directed by a human being making key decisions.
"We can fly everything we get now without a human being in the cockpit."
The Marine Corps Times quoted Neller from an event at the Brookings Institution saying: "I don't know what war is going to look like in the future, [but] I think things that fly in the sky, the great majority of them … there will not be human beings at the control. There will be a human somewhere directing that thing."
The Times further quoted Neller saying, "We can fly everything we get now without a human being in the cockpit," Neller said. "Any vehicle we have, any airplane we have … to fly that thing I am not sure we need a human being."

The Marines, which specialize in the close coordination of air and land forces, are making a big push into unmanned air. In November 2017, the service tested the Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System, or AACUS, a hardware and software kit that can reportedly be fitted to any known helicopter, allowing it to fly by itself. AACUS could theoretically be fitted to the service's CH-53E Super Stallion heavy transport helicopter, AH-1Z Cobra attack helicopter, and the UH-1Y utility/light attack helicopter.
The Marines also fly the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18 Hornet, and KC-130 Transport, but the commandant's comments seem directed at shipborne helicopters and perhaps even tiltrotor aircraft. It is not known if AACUS works with the MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor transport, but the Osprey is probably the single most important air asset in the Corps' inventory. Neller's statement "we can fly everything we get now without a human being" makes it sound like there is indeed an autonomous solution for the tiltrotor.
The ARES unmanned drone, a MUX contender.
Piasecki/Lockheed Martin
The U.S. Army and Marine Corps are both looking at introducing "optional manning" into their aircraft fleets. The Army in particular is looking at the ability to quickly convert helicopters to an uncrewed setup for flying resupply missions while pilots are resting, squeezing as much flight time out of their platforms as possible. All of the services are averse to autonomous helicopters flying human passengers, insisting on human pilots for those missions. In time, as autonomous vehicles become more commonplace, that aversion will probably fade away.
The Marines are also pushing a requirement for a new vertical takeoff and landing drone with combat capabilities. The Marine Air Ground Task Force Unmanned Aircraft System-Expeditionary, or MUX for short, would operate from ships and could carry missiles and bombs in support of the F-35B or act as a communications node for forces at the farthest edges of the battlefield.

Joseph Kilián (Pavel Juráček & Jan Schmidt, 1963)
Much of the visual lexicon we associate with the term 'Kafkaesque' was established by Orson Welles' adaptation of The Trial (1962) and Pavel Juráček and Jan Schmidt's Postava k podpírání (Joseph Kilián, 1963), two films of investigation that centre on the investigating self, place the hapless individual against the malevolent state, lead to 'climaxes' of extinction or bathos and feature main characters called "Joseph K". This lexicon includes canted camera angles, signalling individual and collective disorientation, and crude contrasts between light and dark; the visual isolation of the hapless antihero in labyrinths, whether in unnaturally empty streets or dilapidated interiors, where narrow alleyways or corridors lead nowhere; depiction of the architecture of state bureaucracy as a vast knowledge centre walled in by endless filing cabinets, manned by impassive minor officials, entrance to which is by way of cavernous, purgatorial waiting rooms where fellow complainants seethe with mistrust; and the blocking of conversations between the protagonist and state officials as interrogations, in which non sequiturs are loaded with menace.
This is a visual style inspired by expressionism in the graphic arts and the cinema – one grimily hilarious sequence in Joseph Kilián, set in a gigantic records office with clerks floating like malevolent agents on platforms, expands on a similar scene in Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Robert Wiene, 1920) – that was dominant when Franz Kafka was writing and influenced early book covers and illustrations of his work. Welles and the directorial team of Juráček and Schmidt are not to be blamed if later filmmakers and artists have used their innovations as lazy shorthand for the 'Kafkaesque'. Peter Hames has frequently pointed out that, in the early 1960s, Kafka had only recently been rehabilitated in Czechoslovakia – having for years been marginalised for his non-socialist morbidity – so Juráček and Schmidt were pioneers in imagining Kafka visually for their compatriots.1
In any case, Joseph Kilián is not as 'Kafkaesque' as it first appears – or, rather, it is not as visually and thematically monolithic as that neologism had come to mean in the West by 1963.2 This is very much a Czech Kafka adaptation, alert to the comic, folkloric, fantastic, Jewish and mystical dimensions of the writer. As a screenwriter, Juráček worked in social realism (Strop [Ceiling, Věra Chytilová, 1962]), science fiction (Ikarie XB 1 [Jindřich Polák, 1963]), animation (Bláznova kronika [The Jester's Tale, Karel Zeman, 1964]), neo-Dadaist satire (Sedmikrásky [Daisies, Chytilová, 1966]), post-apocalyptic allegory (Konec srpna v hotelu Ozon [Late August at the Hotel Ozone, Schmidt, 1967]) and spectacular black comedy (Kinoautomat [Radúz Činčera, Ján Roháč & Vladimír Svitáček, 1967]), and elements from all these and other modes find their way into Joseph Kilián.
Take animation, for instance, and Czech animation in particular, which subjects its characters to the whims of an unseen animator, and often elides differences between objects, animals, minerals, flora and humans. The central narrative of Joseph Kilián, in which the unnamed protagonist (Karel Vašíček) hires a cat from a rental shop that disappears when he tries to return it, is charming and funny, but it also dramatises an ontological collapse between a reasoning and obedient human and an irrational and disobedient animal – a trope of horror, and closer to Kafka's Metamorphosis (wherein a bourgeois wakes up as an insect) and the dissident surrealism of someone like Georges Bataille than the engagé rationalism of the existentialists. Far from creating a blueprint for Kafkaesque cliché, Joseph Kilián anticipated those who would treat Kafka's themes and situations in novel ways, whether through science fiction (Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville [1965]), cinema-vérité (Krzysztof Kieślowski's Urząd [The Office, 1966]) or slapstick (Stephen Dwoskin's Outside In [1981]).
Juráček, who wrote the initial script for Chytilová's iconic and iconoclastic Daisies, is often written out of that film's history, but Joseph Kilián proves that he was already thinking about the visual and narrative fracturing of film. Its gloomy 'Kafkaesque' style is frequently broken by formal play. Its great advantage over Welles' The Trial is the setting in Kafka's hometown, in a documentary style that frequently parodies Candid Camera. The Ben Day dots of the opening titles refer to the brightness of contemporary Pop Art rather than the darkness of expressionism. The camera often freezes into photographic single frames in the manner of François Truffaut's Les quatre cents Coups (The 400 Blows, 1959) and Jules et Jim (Jules and Jim, 1962). A wonderful scene uses reverse motion to show the protagonist flinging and grabbing his cat in a loop.
The famous opening sequence is a journey through both space and time, as the protagonist walks away from eerily spotlit, criss-crossing street parades of schoolchildren, funeral mourners and the military, and makes his way down a basement full of posters, flags, placards and banners with their outmoded messages and images, the detritus of recent Cold War history and Stalinism. The Arabic newspaper in the climactic sequence is often read as part of the lack of 'understanding' that is the main theme of the film; but it is also an exotic spectacle in dismal Prague, a portal even, a reminder of Kafka's beloved 1001 Nights with their tales of fantasy and metamorphoses of reality wrung out of a storyteller under the threat of death. The focus on a problematic cat and a journey marked by unsatisfactory catechistic encounters invokes Lewis Carroll's Alice books, and implicitly charges the Czech public sphere with violent irrationality. Like the rabbit hole in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Joseph Kilián functions on a structural absence: the recently discredited Stalinism that had not been replaced with anything positive, embodied by Kilián himself, signified by a telephone with a wrong number in an empty office. The Czech authorities tried to suppress Joseph Kilián on its release, and would do so after the Soviet suppression of the Prague Spring in 1968. You can see why; like the best science fiction, it questions received reality. If reality is constructed by unseen apparatchiks according to mutable ideologies, then how can the individual affirm with any certainty who or even where she or he is?

It should be borne in mind that its creators denied the importance of Kafka to Joseph Kilián, which was not named in Czech for its aporetic dignitary. The original title, Postava k podpírání, has been translated as 'A character in need of support', perhaps alluding to Luigi Pirandello's famous, proto-Absurd play Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921). It may or may not be relevant that a real life Joseph Kilian was a kapo, torturer and executioner at Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp. Kafka's three sisters infamously died in the Holocaust. ↩
Hames' linking of the film with both French existentialism and the Theatre of the Absurd – Joseph Kilián is a dominating character who never appears and may not even exist, recalling the title character of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot – is also typical of the Western reception of Kafka's work during this period. ↩

Von 1997 bis 2009 leitete er dort das Zentrallaboratorium für Geochronologie. Seit 2009 ist er Professor für Geochemie an der Universität Bern in der Schweiz. Mezger ist seit 2010 Mitglied der Leopoldina und seit 2009 korrespondierendes Mitglied der Nordrhein-Westfälischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. 2015 wurde er in die Academia Europaea gewählt.

Werk
Der Forschungsschwerpunkt der Arbeitsgruppe Klaus Mezgers liegt bei Methoden zur Altersbestimmung von Gesteinen mithilfe der Isotopengeochemie. Durch die hochpräzise Messung von Isotopenverhältnissen in Proben aus Meteoriten, Mondgestein und terrestrischen Materialien können geologische Prozesse bei der Entstehung der Erde entschlüsselt werden. So wurde die letzte große Meteoritenkollision der Erde, durch die auch der Mond entstand, auf 4,527±10 mya datiert. Auch die Bildungsdauer von Planetenkernen konnte auf 13 mya (Mars) bzw. 40 mya (Erde) festgelegt werden.
Für die Präzision seiner Datierungsmethoden wurde er 2006 mit dem Leibnizpreis ausgezeichnet.

Q: Why does cmake return an error when i build my c++ code? I want to start learning OpenGL, so I learnt some C++, installed CLion (JetBrains IDE), and tried to make everything work. I work on Ubuntu 20.04. I checked that freeglut and OpenGL are installed, I don't know what else to do.
This is the CMakeLists.txt file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(OpenGlmessing)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

add_executable(OpenGlmessing main.cpp)

find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
find_package(GLUT REQUIRED)

include_directories(${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${GLUT_INCLUDE_DIRS})

target_link_libraries(${OpenGlmessing} ${OPENGL_LIBRARIES} ${GLUT_LIBRARY})

And the error I got:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:13 (target_link_libraries):
  Cannot specify link libraries for target
  "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so" which is not built by this

Missing out isn't an option
It's weirdly warm on campus—late winter, late at night. Or early in the morning. The distinction is murky. So is the atmosphere. I think the fog is as thick and heavy as slow-to-pour barbecue sauce—which means I'm too tired to think up a better metaphor. The Gothic Wonderland, in its shrouded and silent state, looks like a forbidden zone.
A little dirt won't hurt
This might be hard to hear, but you are not an individual. Really, you're more like a very fecund, populous ecosystem—your moist, oxygenated, constant- temperature body is providing climate-controlled habitat for trillions of living creatures from hundreds of different species. These bacteria form a stunningly diverse, interdependent community of organisms, not unlike a rainforest of biodiversity.
This professor is his own MAN

CLICK. A video of R&B musician Jill Scott fills the screen. She's belting out "Strange Fruit," a ballad written in the 1930s to protest the lynchings—hangings and other mob violence—that were terrorizing African-American communities. "Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze," Scott sings, deep and throaty. "Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees."

Forever Duke: In Memoriam
A garden of musings and storiesOne would be hard-pressed to find a better origin story than the one that led Allen Lacy '56, Ph.D. '62 to gardening. "My love affair with horticulture began in the early spring of 1943, on the day I bit Mrs. Leghorn on the ankle," he wrote in Home Ground, a book of essays.
Retro: Hometown champions
In 1956, the man to watch at the Olympic trials was sprinter Dave Sime, Duke sophomore and athletic wonder. He arrived at Duke on a baseball, not a track, scholarship; he had been offered twenty-two college scholarships but chose Duke with an eye toward a medical degree. Known as the "blue streak from Duke," he was clocked during a casual track practice his freshman year at 9.7 seconds in the 100-yard dash, fourth-tenths of a second shy of the world record set eight years earlier.

Sports: The women's row program pulls ahead
by Lisa Sorg
Shortly after dawn on a brisk April morning, steam rises from the cold, calm surface of Lake Michie. Except for the honking of Canada geese overhead, the lake is quiet. Two wakeless launches—quiet motorboats—shear through the water."Make sure you're rowing as straight as you can!" yells the woman piloting one of the boats. She has a megaphone."Roll it hard!" barks the hoarse-sounding man, steering the other. "Legs! Legs! Harder, legs!"
Planet Duke: States of wonder in Brazil
To those who have studied Brazil's complicated history of environmentalism, the fact that Rio de Janeiro has struggled to get its bodies of water Olympics- ready has come as no surprise. A year before the games, reports began to circulate that Guanabara Bay and several lakes hosting water sports had made athletes sick from bacterial and viral infections. More recent tests show improvement, but organizers and athletes alike remain concerned.
Q&A: Eric Toone on entrepreneurship, failure, and resiliency
Eric Toone, vice provost and professor of chemistry and biochemistry, leads the Duke Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Initiative.

From the President: Where I have to go
This winter I had lunch with a Duke couple in the Bay Area. The husband had recently retired at an early age and was still marveling at the unfamiliar experience of freedom. He quoted to me a line he had learned in meditation: "There is nowhere you have to go, nothing you have to do, no one you have to be."
After twelve years as president of Duke, Richard H. Brodhead announced that he will leave his post at the end of June 2017. "Dick Brodhead is one of Duke's transformative presidents," said David Rubenstein '70, chair of the university's board of trustees.

"awhile ago" or sadly "never", it's time to update your good time partying skills.
New Jersey's premier live music venue and official 'juke joint', Robin's Nest Rhythm and Blues, invites all to come out for good music, good food, and good times during their 7th Anniversary Party celebrations. The week long festivities begin Sunday March 5th, and culminate on Sunday, March 12th, (the actual anniversary date) with an array of musical talent, parties and events.
unrehearsed, unscripted, ever flowing, yet somehow really tight. You never know who's gonna show up. You don't know if that person sitting across the way is a musician or just a junior accountant out to have a good time. It's FUN! And that's the open mic format. It doesn't matter if you are hanging solo, part of a loving couple (duet), chilling with a trio of friends, or if you came out with your whole posse (ensemble), they will entice you to participate. Charge your cell phone batteries - you'll be taking lots of selfies.
and the Tuesday Jazz Jam Session with jazz organist Radam Schwartz and others, followed by the raucous Wednesday Blues Party with host DeanShot on guitar/vocals, and the 'Funk Everything! Thursday' night mash-up of music, comedy, spoken word and the new talent rollout, hosted by the versatile Clarence Conover - MPack band.
hour blowout, highlighting the musical melting pot of sounds that make the Nest what it is - a musicians and live music lovers paradise.
Tucked away in the Tremley Point section of Linden, NJ, Robin's Nest Rhythm and Blues owner Robin Bacote extends a warm welcome and makes everyone feel right at home; once you are here, you are family forever. She may even treat you to her vocal talents.
The Nest is also home of the 'Pretty Purdie' wings (an exclusive recipe) in honor of benefactor Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie, the World's Most Recorded Drummer, who donated the Robin's Nest Rhythm and Blues club drum set.
Robin's Nest Rhythm and Blues has been recognized as a Blues Hall of Fame venue and designated official Juke Joint of New Jersey, and has twice received a Downbeat Magazine acknowledgement for great live music, among its many other accolades.
A divergent and diverse delight, where it's Never the Same Show Twice, Robin's Nest Rhythm and Blues is A Proud Supporter of Keeping the Music Alive!
So the next time someone asks you, when's the last time you jammed with the band, you can reply with a huge smile and say "yesterday", "last week", "Sunday March 12th", or any of the other aforementioned dates above. (wink) See you at the party! Dress comfortably.
stars just so you keep working on it.
Great cozy music venue! Feels like getting together with friends in their living room.
This is one of my go-to restaurants. Been going here regularly since it opened. The owner is paying close attention to everything and knows how to run a restaurant/bar.
The food and atmosphere are excellent.
I was looking for somewhere different to take my man for his birthday. I did the Google Search and found Robins Nest. The reviews were great! So I took him on 9/16 and we had a WONDERFUL!!! time. The band playing was the Universal Sound Band. Great Band. Our first time there and we felt welcomed as though we were old friends and had been going there for years. Robin, the owner, is very welcoming and treats you like family. She is also very talented. She sang a song with the band. Robins Nest makes the best wings that I have ever tasted. You must order the Purdie Wings. I could keep on writing, however, I think that you get my point about Robins Nest Rhythm and Blues Juke Joint!!!


Arthur was a founding member of the firm, who was known for his professional integrity, wisdom and willingness to mentor young attorneys.
Growing up in Lowell, Arthur's first language was French. He attended St. Joseph Grammar School and Keith Academy in Lowell, and his childhood friend was Jack Kerouac, another of Lowell's Franco-American sons. Except for college and the war, he never lived more than 20 minutes from the city. Gifted with a strong intellect and an indomitable work ethic, he was accepted into Harvard at age 14. At the suggestion he prepare a bit more socially, he took an additional year of studies at Phillips Academy Andover.
He completed his undergraduate classics degree in three years, served in the Signal Section of the Army in Morocco, Italy, France and Germany for three years, spent a year studying at the Sorbonne, and returned to enter Harvard Law School, which he completed in just over two years.
After admission to the Massachusetts Bar in 1948, he became an Assistant Professor of Law at Northeastern University at age 24, just as he was opening his own private law practice in Lowell. In 1994, he created a firm, Eno Boulay and Martin (now Eno Martin Donahue) and retired in 2001.
Civic involvement was important to him, and he served on numerous professional organizations and political groups, including the Lowell School Committee (1951-1955), the Lowell Historic Board (1984-1993), and the Middlesex Canal Commission. He was a Trustee of the Central Savings Bank, a Director of the Jeanne d'Arc Credit Union (1972-1992), President of the Lowell Humane Society, President of the Middlesex Canal Association (1962-1972) and President of the Mass. Conveyancers Association (1982-1984).
Arthur passed away at the age of 90, on August 6, 2014, a stone's throw from where he grew up-overlooking the Merrimack River in the city he loved.

Q: Is there a term for Second Level Domain and Top Level Domain If I observe the domain:
http://www.google.com/
http is the protocal
www is a subdomain
google is the second level domain
com is the top level domain
Is there a specific term that would describe google.com?

A: You've already answered your own question. google.com would commonly be referred to as a second-level domain name.

A: "Naked domain". Also, in DNS terms - "zone apex"
Also, "second level domain". You wrongly assume that "example" part in "example.com" may be called second-level domain. The whole "example.com" is a domain, and it is a second-level domain."example" would be second label in the domain name. "com" is a first (rightmost) label.

A: Parent Domain which is the combination of the Second Level Domain and the Top level domain

Top 10 Highest Paid Bollywood Actors & Actresses
10-January-2019 (9:28 pm)
Forbes has published a list of top 10 highest paid bollywood actors & actresses after their list of the world's top paid celebrity male and female actors.
The earnings are from 1 June 2016 to 1 June 2017 and are based on data from Box Office India, Box Office Mojo, IMDB, interviews with the press, etc. While SRK tops the list as Bollywood highest paid actor, it is interesting to note that only 2 female actors are on the list. What the list looks like here is:
Highest Paid Bollywood Actors & Actresses
Forbes says that the highest paid actors of both Bollywood and Hollywood continue to earn their female counterparts out.
There are only two female highest paid bollywood actors who can get on the list, and it feels unfair somewhere. While film industries around the world still fight for equal pay for women, India's story is not very different as well. It's amazing to note, but according to the World Economic Forum, there is no country on Earth in which women do the same work as men.
While we have a Game Of Thrones that prides itself on paying its leading players the same amount of pay regardless of gender, we have lists like these that act as a dampener. We are glad to see Deepika and Priyanka in the list, but it would have been nice to see more female representation in the list, given that we have no lack of good talent in the sector. These two bankable stars still make less money than their masculine counterparts and are highest paid celebrities.
Bollywood produces the largest number of films in the world, while a dozen films are purely based on a female character, we are still debating whether they should receive the same amount of money as their male counterparts and are in the list of highest paid bollywood actors and actresses.
10. Ranbir Kapoor
Net worth: $8.5 (Rs 54 crore)
9. Amitabh Bachchan
Net worth: $9 million (Rs 57 crore)

The King's College London Faculty of Arts & Humanities is one of the nine academic Faculties of Study of King's College London. It is situated on the Strand in the heart of central London, in the vicinity of many renowned cultural institutions with which the Faculty has close links including the British Museum, Shakespeare's Globe, the National Portrait Gallery and the British Library. , the Times Higher Education comparison of world-class universities ranked it amongst the top twenty arts and humanities faculties in the world.

The Faculty of Arts & Humanities offers study at undergraduate and graduate level in a wide range of subject areas. Many of the departments and programmes offer joint undergraduate degrees, including some with the Departments of Geography and War Studies, in the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy and with Mathematics in the Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences. As a member of the Russell Group and the Golden triangle, the Faculty receives a high number of applications.

A highlight of the academic calendar is the Faculty's Arts & Humanities Festival when, as one of Britain's pre-eminent centres of research in the Arts and Humanities, the Faculty opens its doors for a fortnight of debate and exploration about a topic and its reverberation in a range of cultural forms, from fiction and theatre to art. The Festival includes a series of lectures by King's academics, exhibitions, round-table discussions and workshops.

The Faculty is a member of The Council of University Deans of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (DASSH UK), and of London Citizens. The current Executive Dean of Faculty is Professor Marion Thain, who took over from Professor Russell Goulbourne in December 2018.

History
Departments like English and German are among England's oldest and were founded in the 19th century. King's College London's Faculty of Arts merged with the Faculties of Music and Theology as the School of Humanities in the late 1980s and took on the name of the School of Arts & Humanities in 2009. The original Arts departments such as War Studies and Geography formed part of the School of Social Science & Public Policy in 2001, while the Arts & Humanities expanded from its 'classical' humanities roots. Over the past few years, the School has established interdisciplinary programmes such as Comparative Literature and a new BA in Liberal Arts launched in 2012. It has led new developments in teaching and research, for instance through the Department of Digital Humanities, Department of Culture, Media & Creative Industries, and the Modern Language Centre. The School of Arts & Humanities became the Faculty of Arts & Humanities in 2014.

Aoraki Matatu to compete in Waka Ama World Championships
Written by Concept2 NZ on February 27th, 2018.
Aoraki Matatū is a Waka Ama team from the Te Waka Pounamu Outrigger Canoe Club (www.twp.net.nz) based at Naval Point, Whakaraupō/Lyttelton. At the end of January, the team competed in the New Zealand Waka Ama Championships, arguably their most successful nationals ever, with gold medal performances in the 500m and 1000m events earning them qualification for the World Championships to be held in Tahiti in July. We caught up with team member Craig Pauling to find out more about the team, their 2018 campaign, and why the Concept2 Indoor Rower has become a part of their training regime!
The team took gold in the 500m and 1000m events at the New Zealand Nationals, as well as a bronze in the W12 race with their club mates.
How long has the team been together?
A number of our team have been together for over 15 years, starting out for our club, Te Waka Pounamu in 2001 – the year we established the club in Ōtautahi/Christchurch. We do have 2 new members that joined us in 2017, after some of our previous team members retired after our last successful worlds campaign in 2016.
For our most recent campaign for the World Champs in July this year, we began training together in May 2017.
Members of the team include: Iaean Cranwell (Ngāi Tahu), Justin Roberts (Ngā Puhi), Murray Marquet, Ross Gilray, Todd Jago (Ngāti Raukawa) and Craig Pauling (Ngāi Tahu).
What makes the team work so well together?
First and foremost, we are friends who respect each other. The team and competing are somewhat secondary to this. We all have families too, and also understand that they are the most important things in our lives. We have definitely had our moments and tough times, but overall, we understand what it takes to get the best out of each other, and that is when everyone is on the same page, we have trained hard and we all feel confident, and trust in what we have done.
What would a typical on water training session look like?
It depends on what phase of our programme we are in, and also whether we are training in a single waka or in a six-person canoe – called a W6. Generally, we do a quick check in about what the plan for our session is, what the weather is doing, then grab our safety gear, load our waka and get into a warm up piece, then stretch and do our training piece. This is followed by a warm down, unloading and cleaning our waka, high fives, a quick debrief, showers and then off home or to work!
How often would you train each week when you are preparing for a big event like the nationals?
6 days a week! And often this includes 2 different sessions a day – 1 in the canoe and 1 out. 3 or 4 sessions are together as a team, and the rest is done in our own time.
What types of other training do you find useful off the water?
Indoor paddling sessions on our Concept2 ergs, teamed up with the PaddleSport Training System Paddle Adaptor are best – especially during the cold of winter in the South!! It is great for technique, sprinting as well as endurance pieces.
How does the Concept2 Indoor Rower assist you and your team in training?
As above, the Concept2 erg teamed up with a Paddle Adaptor is great for off the water sessions, especially when it is too dark, too cold or too rough to paddle. In particular, they are great for technique, sprinting as well as endurance pieces. Being able to accurately measure distance, time and cadence are all great features that help get great results.
Aoraki Matatū in action on Lake Karapiro at the New Zealand Waka Ama Nationals
What does a typical racing season look like for you?
Well it goes all year really, with 2 main seasons. A sprint season from spring (Sept) through to the end of Summer (Feb), and then a long-distance season from February through to the middle of winter (June-July) – mainly because it just gets too cold for racing and training in the South after that. There are a number of major races we do each year, mainly in the South Island – starting with our sprint nationals at Lake Karapiro in January, then the Takapuna Cup (42km changeover marathon) in February, our own clubs Whakaraupō Challenge (15km) in March/April, Caroline Bay (15km) in May, Icebreaker (Dunedin – 21km) in June and then Long Distance Nationals (various locations and dates). We do the Waka Te Tasman (Kaiteretere – 1km, 8km and 12km) ahead of our Te Waka o Aoraki (South Island) sprint regionals in December. There are also a number of overseas races that we look to attend including world sprints (every 2 years), world long distance champs (every alternate year), the famous Molokai'I crossing, Hawai'i (70kms), Gold Coast Cup, Australia (42kms), and the enjoyable Vaka Eiva Festival, Rarotonga. There are also other races in Samoa, Rapanui, Fiji, as well as America, Brazil and even in Europe, and of course the most famous races in Tahiti that we have on our bucket list!
What does your recent success at nationals and qualification for worlds mean to the club?
It means a lot for a little club from Christchurch – that we only started in 2001. We have had a bit of success over the years across the club, but the most pleasing thing is what we hope it will do for our next generation of paddlers coming through our club. We have about 50 rangatahi (youth) paddlers that we hope to take to nationals and beyond over the next few years.
What are your goals for the world championships?
To win 3 golds. At the last worlds we got 1 gold and 2 silvers, so naturally we want to do better. However, it is going to take everything we have and some. Being in Tahiti, the spiritual home of va'a or waka ama, the Tahitian teams are going to be hard to beat, but that's what we do this for – for the challenge and to push ourselves.
What do you love about competing in Waka Ama?
It's the whole culture and identity that comes with waka ama. It is deeply routed in our Polynesian heritage, and so it is much more than a sport. It is a way of life, involving people, language, tradition as well as adventure. It just happens to keep us fit and healthy too!
What would you recommend to someone who has seen Waka Ama racing and thought they would like to give it a go? What is the best way to get started?
Check out the wonderful Waka Ama New Zealand website- read about the history and culture of the sport and use the 'find a club' tab to make contact with a local club, find out when their next club training is, and get along to it!!! It really is that simple. You won't regret it, but I warn you, you might get addicted!
As part of the campaign for this year's world championships, the team is looking for sponsorship to support their travel, uniforms, equipment and accommodation. Any contribution, large or small, would be gratefully accepted, with advertising and marketing opportunities available to potential sponsors. The event itself will be live-streamed on the internet and various social media channels, and will also be covered by Māori TV, as well as networks in Tahiti, Hawaii and Australia.

Pat Riley On Lakers Finals Win Over Heat: "There Will Be Always Be That Asterisk"
by Len Werle · 25. October 2020
Two weeks ago today, the Los Angeles Lakers won the 17th title in franchise history, the first one after a 10-year title draught, and had themselves a huge party.
Many people think that there is an asterisk next to the Lakers' championship, due to the coronavirus NBA bubble situation, even though they were the deserving champions.
Miami Heat president, Pat Riley now also said that there'll always be that asterisk next to this year's title, but not for the same reason.
In an interview with the Miami Herald, Riley revealed that while the Lakers beat the Heat fair and square in six games, he believes that if the Heat hadn't lost both Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic in Game 1 of the Finals, that would not have been the case.
"I would like to see what it would be like with everybody whole. We'll get our chance again. The Lakers have the greatest player in the game today in LeBron [James] and Anthony Davis.
They beat us fair and squarely. But there will be always be that asterisk; if we had Bam and Goran 100 percent — Goran was our leading scorer [entering the Finals] — it might have gone to a seventh game."

Newspaper Apologizes for Gun Store's "Beto Special" Ad Depicting AR-15
by Garrett O'Leary - Monday, October 14, 2019
A Terre Haute, Ind., newspaper issued an apology Sept. 22 for publishing a firearms dealer's advertisement that featured an AR-15 style rifle the previous day.
The wrap-around ad was on the front page of the Tribune-Star and paid for by Top Guns, a Terre Haute firearms store. The ad depicted the words "Beto Special" above an AR-15-style rifle with the Greek words "ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ" for anglicized to "Molon Labe" underneath the rifle.
The Tribune-Star publisher posted an apology to readers on its Facebook page that said the ad "did not meet the paper's standards for advertising content. The ad should not have been published."
The publisher could not be reached for comment by America's 1st Freedom.
A follow-up explanation was then published online by the newspaper's editor, who explained that while the ad was "lawful in every respect," it "did not meet the Tribune-Star's advertising content standard. The paper should have refused to run the ad with the objectionable language."
The language in question, according to the article, was "Beto Special," a reference to Democratic presidential candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke saying, "Hell yes we're going to take your AR-15" at a presidential debate in September (O'Rourke had shirts made with the phrase) and "ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ," a Greek phrase that roughly translates to "Come and take them." The phrase originated in ancient Greece as King Leonidas' response to Xerxes, who demanded the Greeks lay down their weapons and surrender.
According to the Tribune-Star, "the ad did not meet the paper's standard of tone and language" and "could be perceived by readers as a threat to O'Rouke's [sic] safety. And indeed it was interpreted that way by many readers even if that was not the purpose."
"We had a contract with them [for the front-page advertising]," Steve Ellis, owner of Top Guns, told America's 1st Freedom. "They [newspaper advertising representatives] walked into the store three times [to sell that ad space]."
He said he offered to remove the "Beto" text from the ad, but the newspaper staff refused. "They don't want a gun on the front page," he said. "They don't want to do it."
He wondered what the newspaper representatives expected he would advertise when they walked into a gun store and took his money?
The "Beto Special" ad was not Top Guns' first ad in the Tribune-Star. Also, Ellis said he isn't the first firearms dealer to use this special, but noted that in anticipation of the sale, Top Guns ordered an increased quantity of AR-15-style rifles to coincide with the ads that were being run in the Tribune-Star.
The community "came out in droves to support Top Guns," Ellis said, adding that it has been "overwhelming" to see the amount of people who reached out online to support the store in response to the newspaper's statements.
Top Guns opened in 2012 and moved to its current 52,000 sq. ft. location in 2017. It features the largest showroom and indoor range in the Midwest with 18 shooting lanes between its three ranges, a climbing wall, a stage for live music and a pizzeria all under the same roof.

Q: Evaluate improvement in questionnaire questions I asked two different groups of subjects to answer a questionnaire of 2 yes/no questions. The "correct" way of answering the questionnaire was to answer yes to both questions.
I want to prove or disprove that group2 is answering better than group1.
My idea is to check if a get a "low" p-value in a Chi-square independence test on a 2x2 contingency table (1 degrees of freedom)  where rows are group1 and group2 and columns are the number of subjects that replied yes-yes and the number of subjects that replied differently.
However, I am not sure this is the right way to proceed.
Should I use a 4 columns contingency table (3 degree of freedom) dividing subjects in 4 categories (those that replied yes-yes, no-yes, no-no, and yes-no to the two questions) ?
Thanks

A: You have 2x2 contingency table right as you desribed it for that design if you consider all three other combinations of answers equally wrong.
However, if you want to account for that difference (one "yes" answer better than two "no"), you should create the 2x3 table with columns yes-yes, total of yes-no plus no-yes, and no-no. See, the variable correct answers is now ordered categorical. Then you should apply the Cochran-Armitage test.

Tennessee Bar Finds...
Tennessee Bar Finds Requirement to Destroy Vehicle in Settlement Agreement Unethical
Steve Herman - May 27, 2019
In complex product liability cases, the physical vehicle itself may be the most important piece of evidence in the case. The most compelling evidence when establishing the existence of a defect in a vehicle is the existence of other similar incidents, and the ability to review and re-inspect a similar vehicle, which had previously exhibited a similar defect, can be extremely valuable in prosecuting a potential future case.
In this particular case, the plaintiff's law firm has a policy of acquiring possession of the subject vehicle as part of its initial investigation. This is normally done by purchasing the vehicle directly from an insurance company that has possession of the vehicle post-accident. In the rare case that the firm's client has possession of the vehicle (and title), the firm requests that the client allow the firm to retrieve the vehicle from them. If the client is not in possession of the vehicle, and the firm is unable to purchase the vehicle directly from an insurer, the firm purchases the vehicle at auction if possible.
The firm covers the expense of securing the vehicle, and said expense is treated like any other case expense at that point. During the pendency of the case, the firm and the expert witnesses for the case – or for any other case turning on the same vehicle model / defect – inspect the vehicle, dissemble parts if necessary, etc. It is the firm's practice at the end of the case to request from the client that the firm be allowed to retain ownership and possession of the vehicle.
Here, the parties agreed on a settlement amount, and the requirement that the vehicle be destroyed was brought up only after the plaintiff had agreed to settle. The client simply wanted to be paid, and the lawyer's objections were discarded because the client is the ultimate decision-maker re settlement.
When the lawyer sought direction, the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility concluded that: "It is improper for an attorney to propose or accept a provision in a settlement agreement, in a products liability case, that requires destruction of the subject vehicle alleged to be defective if that action will restrict the attorney's representation of other clients."
The firm had assured the defendant that the vehicle will not be placed back on the road, and that when the firm decides to no longer retain the vehicle, it will provide a certificate of destruction – which should satisfy the defendant's purported safety concerns. Given the nature of the defendant's business and the practice area of the inquiring lawyer, demanding the destruction of key evidence can only be viewed as an attempt by the defendant to disadvantage the firm in other current or future litigation. "By requiring destruction of the alleged defective product after settlement in a products liability case, defense counsel would accomplish indirectly what they cannot accomplish directly by precluding the attorney from representing other plaintiffs with similar claims. Further, the firm's file retention policy includes retaining material pieces of evidence as part of the file because it may be evidence in any subsequent malpractice suit against the firm. Without the ability to review the most important piece of evidence in the underlying products liability suit, the law firm would be left essentially defenseless if a former client brought a professional malpractice claim. There is also a public policy consideration. The ability for plaintiffs' firms to act as industry watchdogs is both good public policy and was specifically addressed as a vested responsibility during Congress's enactment of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards."

Women's 800 m FINAL
Ledecky does it again, with another WR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRp-xkxZB3c
I notice that the commentators have corrected the pronunciation of Ledecky to the American version. The BBC commentators don't seem able to pronounce many foreign names correctly. They do know a bit about swimming, though.
I noticed in the close up shots on the BBC iPlayer that Ledecky enters thumb first with her right hand but more or less flat with her left. I wonder if this is just a minor detail that isn't really important or perhaps something that might affect her longevity as a swimmer. Current thinking, I believe, is that the thumb first entry is dangerous for the shoulder.
Current thinking, I believe, is that the thumb first entry is dangerous for the shoulder.
Correct. Not good to let even a seemingly slight detail, that most would overlook, go uncorrected in a distance swimmer--probably high mileage trainer. Especially given the stakes, as she's currently #1 in the world 'with a bullet' as they used to say in Top 40 radio days.
Her final 50m split of 29.79 suggests she had a lot left in the tank at the end. I'd think she might be capable of 8:10 or faster if she had a rival capable of pushing her.

mens 1500m,
was Sun toying with Cochrane or was there evidence of a man whose been putting too much focus on his 200m swim to be as comfortable as he was last year at the longer distance?
My impression was that Sun was looking to win races rather than break records and that he did just what was necessary to win. Cochrane and Paltrinieri swam very well but I don't think there was any doubt that Sun was in control the whole time.
It is quite possible that he is not in quite as good condition as last year, but he certainly had a terrific meet.
He seems to have a lot of pent up anger in him that comes out after he finishes. Not unlike Cielo, really, who seems to go completely ape when he wins.
The women are all hugs and kisses, though, which seems quite genuine. Missy Franklin, in particular, seems the very distillation of sweetness and light, concealing a steely determination.
hasn't Sun had some issues with coaches and chinese federation this year? I think his post race explosions may be hiding more than cielo's
Yes. Sun has had a running battle with the federation. The impression one has is that they feel they own him. He had to hand over a large amount of his prize money because they had paid for his training in Australia and they didn't like his romance with some young lady - an air hostess, I believe, and accused him of slacking.
Morozov also had a bit of a battle with the Russian federation and in fact announced that he would be taking out some other citizenship before Rio. American perhaps?
The strange thing about Cielo is that he seems such an affable and laid back character except when he wins. And of course he always cries when they play the Brazilian anthem, so he is clearly a very emotional character.
I think they could all learn from Missy Franklin, who seems to wear a permanent grin.
What a wonderful week of swimming it has been, and the World Cup is coming soon. (;-)
Not just missy but the whole USA team, Lochte always takes the time to congratulate the other teams or swimmers and I like the lack of ego so many of these top swimmers have.
I think the US swimmers must receive coaching in graciousness and diplomacy because they are always full of praise for the others in post race interviews. Either that or it is part of the national culture. As far as most sports go, winning is part of the culture, of course, and swimming is certainly one where a final without one or two US participants is rare.
I think the US swimmers must receive coaching in graciousness and diplomacy
Upon qualifying for the national team, US swimmers do receive media training arranged by USA Swimming. The national organization also does much to cultivate team spirit, among swimmers who come from many different teams. National team swimmers are brought together for many training and culture-building events each year.
And perhaps some of Missy Franklin's perpetually sunny disposition and sense of perspective may be rubbing off on fellow USA swimmers. I've read accounts in which even rivals for Olympic and World Team slots say she breaks tension and puts others at ease in environments like the pre-race ready room. Since she has been on the national team, other elite swimmers would be spending a significant amount of time each year having that positive influence affect the face they show the world. Younger swimmers especially. Lochte has similarities.
I haven't met her but get the sense she is entirely genuine.
I've also read accounts by emigres to the US who say they find a sort of spirit of national optimism and openness refreshing upon arriving here.

fast pools
Interesting comments regarding UK under performance in Barca. Apparently our training facility in Sheffield has oxygen and ozone in the water, and the correct depth for perfect buoyancy. Whereas the pools we compete in are 'slower'.
So head coach calls for training in other pools to prepare swimmers for slower water.
Should the water really be an issue? Should an elite athlete be able to adjust their balance to suit various conditions? Also, does anybody have a favourite pool purely for the quality of its water, as in, it seems to allow for faster swimming?
