I'm in the Bronx with my good friend Councilman Oswald Feliz shooting some baskets back on July 28th, a few days after a shooting right here in this very playground. That Pesky reporter from the Bronx Chronicle Robert Press took this and other photos of me not wearing a mask, and come to think of it no one else here is wearing a mask. That reporter always asks me questions I don't want to answer so with my video Media Availability I tell my moderator not to take any calls from the Bronx Chronicle and from Robert Press. Now that we are going back to full in class school, full inside dining, full inside almost everything, reporters who I thought were my friends are asking me when are we going back to regular in person press conferences.
I have only 72 days left in office, and I am going to make sure I don't take any questions from reporters I don't want to. I don't want to hear about how bad our homeless population situation is, how bad our NYCHA buildings are, how bad our public schools are, how people are afraid all over the city to go out with crime at such high levels, gangs roaming the streets at night on dirt bikes and other off road vehicles, quality of life is at its lowest its ever been in the city, and our city jails are a mess to name only a few things that are wrong. I don't want to hear about that. That is why I only take questions four days a week Monday through Thursday, and from only eight reporters whom I thought were my friends I take no questions at events I attend without wearing a mask. Here is a photo from that Bronx Chronicle reporter Robert Press of me speaking at the groundbreaking of the New Hip Hop Museum in the South Bronx back in May of this year before any mandates went into effect.


Boomer signs with Tigers
WA basketball star Mark Worthington has signed a one-year deal to play with the Melbourne Tigers during the 2013-14 NBL season.
Worthington, 30, who is in the final stages of recovery from a shoulder injury which cut short a stint playing in Serbia this year, has rejoined the team he played with in 2009-10.
The Australind product said he had been contacted by former Perth Wildcats coach Rob Beveridge earlier this year, but had not held talks with club management or new coach Trevor Gleeson about a return to WA.
The Wildcats entered the free agency period with fringe Boomers forward Jesse Wagstaff under contract and opted to re-sign veteran Shawn Redhage for another three years, leaving no room on the roster for Worthington or WA rising star Cody Ellis.
Worthington will instead play in Melbourne under former teammate Chris Anstey, who is now the head coach of the Tigers.
“I am very happy to be back in Melbourne and to have my family back in the place that we belong," Worthington said.
“I am looking forward to playing with the club again.
“There is a lot of emerging talent developing within the club, and it is a great sign that the coaches and club are developing the team for not just today, but for the future.
“I played with and against Chris (Anstey), and I am now excited to be playing underneath him.
“He brings a huge amount of talent and experience to the game.”
Melbourne finished in fifth spot with a disappointing 12-16 record last season and have not made the play-offs since 2008-09.
The Tigers lost the grand final series that year to now-defunct cross-town rivals South Dragons.
Worthington was a member of the Dragons’ title-winning side before switching to the Tigers when the Dragons folded.
“It’s been a long time since we have reached the finals and I will fight with the rest of the team to get us back to where we belong,” Worthington said.

This may come as a shock to many! Akshay Kumar was the inital choice for Billu and he was even planning to produce the film under his own banner Hari Om Productions.
Sources inform that Priyadarshan was keen to rope in Akki in Billu and had even narrated the script to him and the actor had even agreed to do the film.
In a way, Priyadarshan has ditched his favourite actor as he didn't care to inform that he is in talks with Shah Rukh Khan for the film. It was only after SRK agreed to the project, Priyadarshan met Akshay to inform him of his ouster.
However, there was no bitterness between Akshay and Priyan as they mutually decided not to make a big issue about this.
Priyan always wanted to make a film with SRK and to fulfill his dream, he forgot his dear friend who has given him hits like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiya, Garam Masala.

A low-dropout or LDO regulator is a DC linear voltage regulator that can regulate the output voltage even when the supply voltage is very close to the output voltage.
In electronics, a linear regulator is a system used to maintain a steady voltage. The resistance of the regulator varies in accordance with the load resulting in a constant voltage output. The regulating device is made to act like a variable resistor, continuously adjusting a voltage divider network to maintain a constant output voltage and continually dissipating the difference between the input and regulated voltages as waste heat. By contrast, a switching regulator uses an active device that switches on and off to maintain an average value of output. Because the regulated voltage of a linear regulator must always be lower than input voltage, efficiency is limited and the input voltage must be high enough to always allow the active device to drop some voltage.
Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. The difference in electric potential between two points in a static electric field is defined as the work needed per unit of charge to move a test charge between the two points. In the International System of Units, the derived unit for voltage is named volt. In SI units, work per unit charge is expressed as joules per coulomb, where 1 volt = 1 joule per 1 coulomb. The official SI definition for volt uses power and current, where 1 volt = 1 watt per 1 ampere. This definition is equivalent to the more commonly used 'joules per coulomb'. Voltage or electric potential difference is denoted symbolically by ∆V, but more often simply as V, for instance in the context of Ohm's or Kirchhoff's circuit laws.
The advantages of a low dropout voltage regulator over other DC to DC regulators include the absence of switching noise (as no switching takes place), smaller device size (as neither large inductors nor transformers are needed), and greater design simplicity (usually consists of a reference, an amplifier, and a pass element). The disadvantage is that, unlike switching regulators, linear DC regulators must dissipate power, and thus heat, across the regulation device in order to regulate the output voltage.
The adjustable low-dropout regulator debuted on April 12, 1977 in an Electronic Design article entitled "Break Loose from Fixed IC Regulators". The article was written by Robert Dobkin, an IC designer then working for National Semiconductor. Because of this, National Semiconductor claims the title of "LDO inventor".Dobkin later left National Semiconductor in 1981 and founded Linear Technology where he was the chief technology officer.
Electronic Design, founded in 1952, is the largest published print magazine for the electronic design industry published in the USA by Penton Media.
Robert C. Dobkin is an American electrical engineer, co-founder of Linear Technology Corporation, and veteran linear (analog) integrated circuit (IC) designer.
An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece of semiconductor material that is normally silicon. The integration of large numbers of tiny MOS transistors into a small chip results in circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller, faster, and less expensive than those constructed of discrete electronic components. The IC's mass production capability, reliability, and building-block approach to circuit design has ensured the rapid adoption of standardized ICs in place of designs using discrete transistors. ICs are now used in virtually all electronic equipment and have revolutionized the world of electronics. Computers, mobile phones, and other digital home appliances are now inextricable parts of the structure of modern societies, made possible by the small size and low cost of ICs.
The main components are a power FET and a differential amplifier (error amplifier). One input of the differential amplifier monitors the fraction of the output determined by the resistor ratio of R1 and R2. The second input to the differential amplifier is from a stable voltage reference (bandgap reference). If the output voltage rises too high relative to the reference voltage, the drive to the power FET changes to maintain a constant output voltage.
The field-effect transistor (FET) is an electronic device which uses an electric field to control the flow of current. FETs are devices with three terminals: source, gate, and drain. FETs control the flow of current by the application of a voltage to the gate, which in turn alters the conductivity between the drain and source.
A differential amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that amplifies the difference between two input voltages but suppresses any voltage common to the two inputs. It is an analog circuit with two inputs and and one output in which the output is ideally proportional to the difference between the two voltages
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements, or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical activity.
Low-dropout (LDO) regulators work in the same way as all linear voltage regulators. The main difference between LDO and non-LDO regulators is their schematic topology. Instead of an emitter follower topology, low-dropout regulators use open collector or open drain topology. In this topology, the transistor may be easily driven into saturation with the voltages available to the regulator. This allows the voltage drop from the unregulated voltage to the regulated voltage to be as low as the saturation voltage across the transistor. Appendix A:
An open collector is a common type of output found on many integrated circuits (IC), which behaves like a switch that is either connected to ground or disconnected.
For the circuit given in the figure to the right, the output voltage is given as:
If a bipolar transistor is used, as opposed to a field-effect transistor or JFET, significant additional power may be lost to control it, whereas non-LDO regulators take that power from voltage drop itself. For high voltages under very low In-Out difference there will be significant power loss in the control circuit.
A bipolar junction transistor is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and holes as charge carriers.
The junction gate field-effect transistor is one of the simplest types of field-effect transistor. JFETs are three-terminal semiconductor devices that can be used as electronically-controlled switches, amplifiers, or voltage-controlled resistors.
Because the power control element functions as an inverter, another inverting amplifier is required to control it, which increases schematic complexity compared to simple linear regulator.[ citation needed ]
Power FETs may be preferable to reduce power consumption, but this poses problems when the regulator is used for low input voltage, as FETs usually require 5 to 10 V to close completely. Power FETs may also increase the cost.
The power dissipated in the pass element and internal circuitry () of a typical LDO is calculated as follows:
where is the quiescent current required by the LDO for its internal circuitry.
Therefore, one can calculate the efficiency as follows:
However, when the LDO is in full operation (i.e., supplying current to the load) generally: . This allows us to reduce to the following:
which further reduces the efficiency equation to:
It is important to keep thermal considerations in mind when using a low drop-out linear regulator. Having high current and/or a wide differential between input and output voltage could lead to large power dissipation. Additionally, efficiency will suffer as the differential widens. Depending on the package, excessive power dissipation could damage the LDO or cause it to go into thermal shutdown.
Among other important characteristics of a linear regulator is the quiescent current, also known as ground current or supply current, which accounts for the difference, although small, between the input and output currents of the LDO, that is:
Quiescent current is current drawn by the LDO in order to control its internal circuitry for proper operation. The series pass element, topologies, and ambient temperature are the primary contributors to quiescent current.
Many applications don't require an LDO to be in full operation all of the time (i.e. supplying current to the load). In this idle state the LDO still draws a small amount of quiescent current in order to keep the internal circuitry ready in case a load presented. When no current is being supplied to the load, can be found as follows:
In addition to regulating voltage, LDOs can also be used as filters. This is especially useful when a system is using switchers, which introduce a ripple in the output voltage occurring at the switching frequency. Left alone, this ripple has the potential to adversely affect the performance of oscillators,data converters, and RF systems being powered by the switcher. However, any power source, not just switchers, can contain AC elements that may be undesirable for design.
Two specifications that should be considered when using an LDO as a filter are power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and output noise.
An LDO is characterized by its drop-out voltage, quiescent current, load regulation, line regulation, maximum current (which is decided by the size of the pass transistor), speed (how fast it can respond as the load varies), voltage variations in the output because of sudden transients in the load current, output capacitor and its equivalent series resistance. mA load current (no load) to the maximum load current. This is basically decided by the bandwidth of the error amplifier. It is also expected from an LDO to provide a quiet and stable output in all circumstances (example of possible perturbation could be: sudden change of the input voltage or output current). Stability analysis put in place some performance metrics to get such a behaviour and involve placing poles and zeros appropriately. Most of the time, there is a dominant pole that arise at low frequencies while other poles and zeros are pushed at high frequencies.Speed is indicated by the rise time of the current at the output as it varies from 0
PSRR refers to the LDO's ability to reject ripple it sees at its input.As part of its regulation, the error amplifier and bandgap attenuate any spikes in the input voltage that deviate from the internal reference to which it is compared. In an ideal LDO, the output voltage would be solely composed of the DC frequency. However, the error amplifier is limited in its ability to gain small spikes at high frequencies. PSRR is expressed as follows:
As an example, an LDO that has a PSRR of 55 dB at 1 MHz attenuates a 1 mV input ripple at this frequency to just 1.78 µV at the output. A 6 dB increase in PSRR roughly equates to an increase in attenuation by a factor of 2.
Most LDOs have relatively high PSRR at lower frequencies (10 Hz – 1 kHz). However, a Performance LDO is distinguished in having high PSRR over a broad frequency spectrum (10 Hz – 5 MHz). Having high PSRR over a wide band allows the LDO to reject high-frequency noise like that arising from a switcher. Similar to other specifications, PSRR fluctuates over frequency, temperature, current, output voltage, and the voltage differential.
The noise from the LDO itself must also be considered in filter design. Like other electronic devices, LDOs are affected by thermal noise, bipolar shot noise, and flicker noise.Each of these phenomena contribute noise to the output voltage, mostly concentrated over the lower end of the frequency spectrum. In order to properly filter AC frequencies, an LDO must both reject ripple at the input while introducing minimal noise at the output. Efforts to attenuate ripple from the input voltage could be in vain if a noisy LDO just adds that noise back again at the output.
Load regulation is a measure of the circuit’s ability to maintain the specified output voltage under varying load conditions. Load regulation is defined as:
The worst case of the output voltage variations occurs as the load current transitions from zero to its maximum rated value or vice versa.
Line regulation is a measure of the circuit’s ability to maintain the specified output voltage with varying input voltage. Line regulation is defined as:
Like load regulation, line regulation is a steady state parameter—all frequency components are neglected. Increasing DC open-loop current gain improves the line regulation.
The transient response is the maximum allowable output voltage variation for a load current step change. The transient response is a function of the output capacitor value (), the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitor, the bypass capacitor () that is usually added to the output capacitor to improve the load transient response, and the maximum load-current (). The maximum transient voltage variation is defined as follows:
Where corresponds to the closed-loop bandwidth of an LDO regulator. is the voltage variation resulting from the presence of the ESR () of the output capacitor. The application determines how low this value should be.
An operational amplifier is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single-ended output. In this configuration, an op-amp produces an output potential that is typically hundreds of thousands of times larger than the potential difference between its input terminals. Operational amplifiers had their origins in analog computers, where they were used to perform mathematical operations in many linear, non-linear, and frequency-dependent circuits.
A high-pass filter (HPF) is an electronic filter that passes signals with a frequency higher than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency. The amount of attenuation for each frequency depends on the filter design. A high-pass filter is usually modeled as a linear time-invariant system. It is sometimes called a low-cut filter or bass-cut filter. High-pass filters have many uses, such as blocking DC from circuitry sensitive to non-zero average voltages or radio frequency devices. They can also be used in conjunction with a low-pass filter to produce a bandpass filter.
In electronics, a virtual ground is a node of a circuit that is maintained at a steady reference potential, without being connected directly to the reference potential. In some cases the reference potential is considered to be that of the surface of the earth, and the reference node is called "ground" or "earth" as a consequence.
A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input. The applied input voltage determines the instantaneous oscillation frequency. Consequently, a VCO can be used for frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM) by applying a modulating signal to the control input. A VCO is also an integral part of a phase-locked loop.
A voltage regulator is a system designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may use a simple feed-forward design or may include negative feedback. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages.
Transconductance, also infrequently called mutual conductance, is the electrical characteristic relating the current through the output of a device to the voltage across the input of a device. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
In electronics, a chopper circuit is used to refer to numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly. Essentially, a chopper is an electronic switch that is used to interrupt one signal under the control of another.
Delta-sigma modulation is a method for encoding analog signals into digital signals as found in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It is also used to convert high bit-count, low-frequency digital signals into lower bit-count, higher-frequency digital signals as part of the process to convert digital signals into analog as part of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
This article illustrates some typical operational amplifier applications. A non-ideal operational amplifier's equivalent circuit has a finite input impedance, a non-zero output impedance, and a finite gain. A real op-amp has a number of non-ideal features as shown in the diagram, but here a simplified schematic notation is used, many details such as device selection and power supply connections are not shown. Operational amplifiers are optimised for use with negative feedback, and this article discusses only negative-feedback applications. When positive feedback is required, a comparator is usually more appropriate. See Comparator applications for further information.
A buck converter is a DC-to-DC power converter which steps down voltage from its input (supply) to its output (load). It is a class of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) typically containing at least two semiconductors and at least one energy storage element, a capacitor, inductor, or the two in combination. To reduce voltage ripple, filters made of capacitors are normally added to such a converter's output and input.
Ripple in electronics is the residual periodic variation of the DC voltage within a power supply which has been derived from an alternating current (AC) source. This ripple is due to incomplete suppression of the alternating waveform after rectification. Ripple voltage originates as the output of a rectifier or from generation and commutation of DC power.
A Wilson current mirror is a three-terminal circuit that accepts an input current at the input terminal and provides a "mirrored" current source or sink output at the output terminal. The mirrored current is a precise copy of the input current. It may be used as a Wilson current source by applying a constant bias current to the input branch as in Fig. 2. The circuit is named after George R. Wilson, an integrated circuit design engineer who worked for Tektronix. Wilson devised this configuration in 1967 when he and Barrie Gilbert challenged each other to find an improved current mirror overnight that would use only three transistors. Wilson won the challenge.
In electronics, a differentiator is a circuit that is designed such that the output of the circuit is approximately directly proportional to the rate of change of the input. An active differentiator includes some form of amplifier. A passive differentiator circuit is made of only resistors and capacitors.
In electronic systems, power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), also supply-voltage rejection ratio, is a term widely used to describe the capability of an electronic circuit to suppress any power supply variations to its output signal.
Line regulation is the ability of a power supply to maintain a constant output voltage despite changes to the input voltage, with the output current drawn from the power supply remaining constant.
In electronics, a transimpedance amplifier, (TIA) is a current to voltage converter, almost exclusively implemented with one or more operational amplifiers. The TIA can be used to amplify the current output of Geiger–Müller tubes, photo multiplier tubes, accelerometers, photo detectors and other types of sensors to a usable voltage. Current to voltage converters are used with sensors that have a current response that is more linear than the voltage response. This is the case with photodiodes where it is not uncommon for the current response to have better than 1% nonlinearity over a wide range of light input. The transimpedance amplifier presents a low impedance to the photodiode and isolates it from the output voltage of the operational amplifier. In its simplest form a transimpedance amplifier has just a large valued feedback resistor, Rf. The gain of the amplifier is set by this resistor and because the amplifier is in an inverting configuration, has a value of -Rf. There are several different configurations of transimpedance amplifiers, each suited to a particular application. The one factor they all have in common is the requirement to convert the low-level current of a sensor to a voltage. The gain, bandwidth, as well as current and voltage offsets change with different types of sensors, requiring different configurations of transimpedance amplifiers.
A comparator is an electronic component that compares two input voltages. Comparators are closely related to operational amplifiers, but a comparator is designed to operate with positive feedback and with its output saturated at one power rail or the other. An op-amp can be pressed into service as a poorly performing comparator if necessary, but its slew rate will be impaired.
Switching Noise Jitter (SNJ) is the aggregation of variability of noise events in the time-domain on the supply bias of an electronic system, in particular with a voltage regulated supply bias incorporated with closed-loop (feedback) control, for instance, SMPS. SNJ is measurable using real-time spectral histogram analysis and expressed as a rate of occurrence in percentage. The existence of SNJ was firstly demonstrated and termed by TransSiP Inc in 2016 and 2017 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), and reviewed with experts at Tektronix prior to be featured as a case study published by Tektronix. The discovery of SNJ was also featured in multiple articles published by Planet Analog magazine and EDN Network. Difficult to filter using conventional LC networks due to variability in both time and frequency domains, SNJ can introduce random errors in analog to digital conversion, affecting both data integrity and system performance in digital communications and location-based services

Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each listen. The mix is off-center, with the fuzz-bass dominating the compressed, razor-thin guitars and Bowie's strangled, affected voice. The sound of The Man Who Sold the World is odd, but the music is bizarre itself, with Bowie's bizarre, paranoid futuristic tales melded to Ronson's riffing and the band's relentless attack. Musically, there isn't much innovation on The Man Who Sold the World — it is almost all hard blues-rock or psychedelic folk-rock — but there's an unsettling edge to the band's performance, which makes the record one of Bowie's best albums.
With 1970's The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie set aside his pop and singer-songwriter aspirations and headed in a harder-rocking direction. Producer Tony Visconti provided a thick, dense setting with guitarist Mick Ronson playing the role of guitar hero to Bowie's megalomaniac frontman; think Keith Richards and Mick Jagger sprinkled with fairy dust. The new approach flowered on Hunky Dory, but the outline for the master plan is here. The title track, "The Width of a Circle," and "All the Madmen" are essential Bowie, as he slips from cryptic to straightforward, celebratory wordplay.
"On the Outside tour, Bowie quietly served as a grounding point for Reznor; he offered, in his music and his performances, the potential of a future. … Bowie and Reznor designed an interim sequence to bridge their sets. There would be no NIN encore. Instead Bowie, then his band, would join NIN on stage, and then NIN would depart, leaving Reznor singing with Bowie's band. The concert featured on this remarkable 2CD set finds the entourage playing at The Riverport Amphitheatre in St Louis, Missouri, on 11th October 1995.
Essential: a masterpiece of rock music
WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAM
Deeply inspired by the rise and fall of Vince Taylor (whom Bowie incidentally met in 1971). David/Ziggy will mix this story with science-fiction themes, the atmosphere of the star rock system mixing the whole stuff with his androgynous look. Ziggy will appear as such on stage. Intelligent glam rock? Probably.
BOWIE - LEGACY will be released via Parlophone in November. The album collects together a selection of Bowie’s most popular tracks and singles, from 1969’s ‘Space Oddity’, through to the final singles ‘Lazarus’ and ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’, issued earlier this year. BOWIE - LEGACY will be available as a 1 CD and a Deluxe 2 CD from November 11th. These will be followed by a double vinyl album version on January 6th, 2017. All formats of BOWIE - LEGACY feature a previously unreleased version of the classic 1971 Hunky Dory track, ‘Life On Mars?’, remixed by its original producer Ken Scott. From his very first recordings over fifty years ago, right through to his last album Blackstar, David Bowie was at the vanguard of contemporary culture as a musician, artist, icon and a constant influence on generations of writers, artists and designers. He was, and remains, a unique presence in contemporary culture. Bowie left a legacy of inspiration in every discipline from art and fashion to acting and beyond. But, it is for his ground-breaking music that he will be best remembered. BOWIE - LEGACY is an introduction to a world of incredible music, just waiting to be enjoyed by a whole new generation.

The grounds of Dr. MGR Janaki College of Arts and Science for Women, R. A. Puram came alive with folk music, laughter and the “moo’s of cattle”, on the 26th of July, which marked the beginning of the four-day village-themed festival, Village Ticket. Uzhavar Unavu Unarvu goes the tagline of the event, highlighting the main focus of the event – farming, food and feeling of our villages. The villages of Tamil Nadu have to their name an extensive legacy, glorified by tradition and culture that have been a way of life for thousands of years. The village festival or thiruvizha as it is popularly known in the state was an initiative of Grand Catering Company and presented in association with Brand Avatar, with a focus on giving the people of Chennai a holistic taste of village-life.
The event’s launch took place in the college’s premises on the 14th of July and Tamil Nadu Farmers Association Joint Movement President Mr. P.K. Deivasigamani, Brand Avatar’s Founder & CEO Mr. Hemachandran, Dr. Mariazeena Johnson, Director of Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Dr. S. Abhita, DEAN of Dr. MGR-Janaki College for Women and Mr. Thilakarasu, Managing Director of Grand Catering Company participated in the launch event. “Every city dweller who works in IT companies must also understand the hardships and hard work that every farmer puts in for the sake of producing food for millions and take up farming as part of their lives,” said Mr. Deivasigamani, while speaking at the event.
Over 20 food stalls were set up across the place, each offering several delicacies that are specialties of villages across Tamil Nadu. Prepared by native cooks brought in from the 32 districts of the state, each dish that was served was a wholly authentic experience of taste and flavors, which isn’t much of a surprise seeing as the recipes and technique were passed on through generations, giving that uniqueness to the dish that cannot be perfected elsewhere.
Among the stalls, one could find Mani Iyer Kadai selling traditional breakfast fare, Kattu Soru Kadai offering mixed and packed rice varieties in traditional mandharai / vazhai elai, Kumbakonam Degree Coffee, Dindigul and Arcot Biryani, Muniyandi Military Hotel offering Madurai mutton specialities military-hotel style, Kongu Varuval Kadai selling kongu-style fries, Dhaniya Unnavagam selling organically farmed millets, Saththu Kanji and Payasa Kadai selling millet soups, stews and payasam. There were also several other stalls such as Naatu Marundhu Kadai and Maligai Kadai selling authentic village fare, groceries and traditional medicines.
One of the stalls that stood out is the one by nativespecial.com, an online venture with a vision to make native specialties from all over the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala accessible online. Some of their star products include srivilliputhur palkova, tirunelveli halwa, kulithalai olapakkoda, oothukuli nei biscuit, kovilpatti ellu mittai, etc. The Inippu Kadai was also pretty popular with traditional sweets like velliyanai adhirasam, ooty varkey, etc, raking in the crowds. About 20 stalls were allocated to farmers free of cost, for them to market the products that were grown by them. Visit nativespecial.com, and order traditional savouries directly to your home!
One of the highlights of the event were the two types of feasts that were served for the visitors – the vegetarian kalyana virundhu and the non-vegetarian kari virundhu. Served the traditional way over a banana leaf, each spread had 32 delicacies from the 32 districts of Tamil Nadu, giving you a taste of the entire state on a platter. While the kalyana virundhu served a grand traditional platter of a Tamil Wedding, the kari virundhu offered meat-lovers a dream platter of meat and seafood dishes that have their origins in the various villages and traditions of Tamil Nadu.
Another main attraction that had people flocking to it by the dozen was the Tent Kotta, an old timey movie screening hut set up by Mayajaal Multiplex. In keeping with the good old days, this popular attraction was playing the MGR hit, Kaavalkaran.
Over 12,000 guests attended the four-day event and 30 plus traditional folk performances like Mayilattam, Oyillattam, Villu Paattu, Theru Koothu, Kummi Paatu and 30 plus Namma Ooru games including Pallanguzhi, Gilli, Kabadi, Dhayam, Bambaram, Goli and Raatinam were conducted to keep the guests entertained. The entire place was set up picturesquely to replicate a Tamil village, complete with open courtyards, sit outs known as Thinnai, Potti Kadai, Tea kadai, Bullock Carts, Panjayat model, etc., which brought out the aura of life in a village.
Generous doses of traditional food, folk art and music, all in a village-like set up, gave the visitors a fun sneak peek into life in a village and for those urban folk with familial roots in villages across the districts, it was quite the nostalgic trip down memory lane. The event also brought out the importance of local markets, local art forms and local food, teaching one and all to appreciate what our culture and tradition have given us and how it is our duty to preserve it.

Sen. Harry Reid has inserted into the Senate health care reform bill language making it against Senate rules to even consider over-ruling the medical board his bill will create.
That doesn't make the board completely all-powerful, but it means you have to get 66 Senators to agree (to a rule change) before you can even bring up the topic of over-ruling the board. Elected officials, representatives of the people, will be unable to control the bureaucrats.
Do you object to this? I have a hard time believing even liberals are ok with such an anti-democratic notion. If you have a problem with this, today is the day to call your senators and tell them.


High Quality Cartridge Dust Collectors
Cartridge dust collectors are used to enhance the quality of air released from industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities from air or gas. Designed to handle high-volume dust loads, a cartridge collector system consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and a dust receptacle or dust removal system.
Cartridge collectors use perforated metal cartridges that contain a pleated, nonwoven filtering media, as opposed to woven or felt bags used in baghouses. The pleated design allows for a greater total filtering surface area than in a conventional bag of the same diameter, the greater filtering area results in a reduced air to media ratio, pressure drop, and overall collector size.
Whether meeting new environmental compliance or safety requirements or upgrading existing equipment, we can configure an optimal dust collection solution ideally suited to your application, process, facility requirements and budget. A cartridge dust collector ideal for several applications including thermally generated fumes from welding, laser / plasma cutting operations as well as other common nuisance dusts.
Our Donaldson Torit replacement Cartridge collectors are available in single use or continuous duty designs. In single-use cartridge collectors, the dirty cartridges are changed and collected dirt is removed while the collector is off. In the continuous duty design, the cartridges are cleaned by the conventional pulse-jet cleaning system. Downward flow collectors effectively remove harmful dusts and smoke from industrial manufacturing processes. With its patented pulse-cleaning technology, greater air capacity and quick and easy maintenance, there’s no better air filtration method for your manufacturing facility. Situated inside a factory or outdoors, these high-performance, energy efficient collectors are expandable in the field to meet increased capacity needs at any time due to their modular design.
The patented pulse-cleaning technology used in our collectors provides optimized cleaning power to most effectively pulse off dust from the filter resulting in increased pulse cleaning energy, lower pressure-drop, longer cartridge filter life and energy savings.
Important parameters in specifying dust collectors include airflow the velocity of the air stream created by the vacuum producer; system power, the power of the system motor, usually specified in horsepower; storage capacity for dust and particles, and minimum particle size filtered by the unit. Other considerations when choosing a dust collection system include the temperature, moisture content, and the possibility of combustion of the dust being collected.
Systems for fine removal may only contain a single filtration system (such as a filter bag or cartridge). However, most units utilize a primary and secondary separation/filtration system. In many cases, the heat or moisture content of dust can negatively affect the filter media of a baghouse or cartridge dust collector. A cyclone separator or dryer may be placed before these units to reduce heat or moisture content before reaching the filters. Furthermore, some units may have third and fourth stage filtration. All separation and filtration systems used within the unit should be specified by the dust collector manufacturers.
Our best-in-class cartridge dust collectors capable of reducing equipment size and the number of required filters by up to 40% compared to a typical cartridge collector. A smaller collector helps lower the initial purchase price, reduces filter replacement costs, and opens up valuable manufacturing floor space.
The horizontal cartridge dust collector provides reliable, high-efficiency filtration in a compact size. Quality construction and simple design ensure long-term, trouble-free operation. The Dust Flow is suitable for a wide range of applications from controlling fumes and nuisance dusts to product recovery.
The benefits include:
- Filter cartridges are quickly and conveniently serviced from outside the collector; no confined space entry permit needed.
- Modular panelized design allows easy capacity increases. Multiple units share common hoppers and minimized clean air ducting.
- Compact design saves space and is suitable for spot filtration.
The unit created by Baghouse America perform at the highest standards. Our collectors replace Donaldson Torit units at fractions of the cost. Contact us to learn about our mission to make the world better through fresh air!

Gretchen Barretto has a reply to a netizen saying she’s a “fake millionaire”.
GRETCHEN BARRETTO – The famous personality Gretchen Barretto replied to a particular basher whose comment seemingly implied that she is a “fake millionaire”.
Gretchen Barretto, since her video along with her friends has gone viral laughing so hard while reading a netizen’s letter asking for their help, had been under fire of criticisms.
According to a previous article, they have already apologized to the involved netizen and even issued a public apology to the people who got affected by it.
But it seems like bashers are unstoppable as Greta still receives negative comments as seen in the comment section of her social media posts.
And La Greta is not backing down against the criticisms despite the hurtful remarks she has been receiving from them.
Recently, another netizen has been put by her in the spotlight.
The netizen has questioned her intention of helping other as she might have other agendas in doing charity such as running for a political position as the netizen has cited.
“Real philanthropists/millionaires doesn’t show off what they give if it is really came from their heart,” the certain netizen added.
And Barretto’s response to this is: “CLUELESS. DE -MEANING. So this makes me a fake millionaire? so, if my granting of wishes did not come from my [heart], IT PROBABLY CAME FROM MY… FOOT? Seriously, You made my day [happy] peace ✌ BTW… I AM RUNNING….. AWAY from YOU.”
See the full post below:
It seems like Gretchen is taking her bashers and lambasting one at a time through the social media.

Rachel Corrie Awarded LennonOno Grant for Peace.
The award was presented by Yoko Ono in Reykjavik, Iceland, to Corrie's parents, Craig and Cindy, who accepted it on their daughter's behalf. The event marks the birthdays of artist John Lennon and his son Sean.
Rachel Corrie was a 23-year-old American peace activist and human rights defender from Olympia, Washington, who was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer March 16, 2003, as she stood nonviolently to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in Rafah, Gaza.
In August, a court in Haifa, Israel, dismissed the Corrie family's wrongful death civil lawsuit against the State of Israel for Rachel's killing. The verdict was widely condemned as setting dangerous precedent regarding protection of civilians, and putting at serious risk human rights defenders in war zones and armed conflict situations.
In the official announcement of the biennial award, IMAGINE PEACE noted the work of the Rachel Corrie Foundation to which the monetary grant prize has been given.
"In the wake of her killing, the Rachel Corrie Foundation continues the work that Rachel Corrie began. The Foundation conducts programs that foster connections between people, that build understanding, respect, and appreciation for differences, and that promote cooperation within and between local and global communities. The Foundation encourages and supports grassroots efforts in pursuit of human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice, which they view as pre-requisites for world peace," said IMAGINE PEACE.
"Rachel would be greatly surprised and humbled by this recognition," Cindy Corrie said after receiving the award. "Her hope would be that it could somehow contribute to bringing people together to work passionately for justice, and to do so with the utmost respect for the rights and lives of all human beings."
Rachel's father, Craig Corrie, added: "We are grateful that Ms. Ono has chosen to recognize our daughter in such a wonderful way. Rachel must be smiling somewhere to imagine her memory linked in any way with that of John Lennon. Perhaps they smile together."
Yoko Ono, the Corries, and other LennonOno Grant for Peace recipients participated following the award ceremony in the annual lighting of the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER on the island of ViEey in Iceland.
Ono urged people worldwide to join her in spirit as she lights the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in honor of all activists - past, present, and future - and to let the power of light become a collective expression of the desire for peace and harmony on the planet.

Novatek Shifts Focus to Liquids as Russian Gas Revamp StallsLyubov Pronina and Elena Mazneva
OAO Novatek, Russia’s second-biggest natural-gas producer, is switching its focus to production of liquid fuels after adding crude oil reserves as a planned overhaul of the domestic gas market stalls.
“Our main profitability in the next several years will come from increasing liquids production,” Novatek Chief Executive Officer and billionaire shareholder Leonid Mikhelson said in Davos, Switzerland.
Novatek has more than doubled its output in the past seven years, eating away at state-run OAO Gazprom’s dominance in the domestic gas market. Natural gas expansion is constrained by Gazprom’s monopoly on export pipelines, while Novatek, controlled by Mikhelson and Gennady Timchenko, an ally of President Vladimir Putin, profits from shipments of liquids and products abroad.
Output of crude and gas condensate, which is similar to light oil, is set to jump a record 40 percent to 50 percent this year, Mikhelson said. That compares with an 11 percent increase last year to 4.77 million metric tons.
“This year, liquids will account for 12 percent of output, up from 9 percent, while contributing 50 percent of earnings, up from 40 percent,” Mikhelson said.
Gas production growth will remain little changed in 2014, the executive said. Output increased 8.5 percent last year to 62.2 billion cubic meters, enough to supply Italy for a year, according to the company.
Novatek added crude and condensate reserves after agreeing last year to gain control of the SeverEnergia venture with Gazprom’s OAO Gazprom Neft unit, while ceding a stake in a natural gas venture, Sibneftegas.
SeverEnergia’s reserves are 24 percent liquids, compared with 2 percent at Sibneftegas, Maxim Moshkov, an energy analyst at UBS AG in Moscow, said by phone.
The new strategy will be approved by the end of the year, Mikhelson said. Novatek estimated capital expenditures of about $28 billion to 2020 in the plan it presented in December 2011.
Novatek exports crude, stable gas condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and gas condensate products, benefiting from higher prices overseas. The company won the right to export liquefied natural gas last month and plans to start production in 2017. It is barred from exporting gas though Gazprom’s pipelines under a 2006 law.
To make the domestic market more attractive, the government needs to decrease transportation and storage costs and resume plans to increase Gazprom’s regulated gas prices, according to Mikhelson. In 2006, Russia said that within five years, local gas prices would be raised to European netback levels, equalizing the profitability of domestic supplies and exports, taking into account transportation costs and duties. The target year has been changed several times since then.
Novatek and oil producers will continue to expand their presence in Russian gas sales, Mikhelson said, declining to elaborate. Novatek may increase its market share to 21 percent in 2015 from 16 percent in 2012 and 8 percent in 2006, according to a Sberbank CIB report this month.
To take advantage of Russia’s long winter, Novatek proposes diversified increases in local gas prices, raising them more in the cold months when gas consumption is higher, Mikhelson said. “Hopefully in the next two to three months, the government will form its position,” he said.
Such a move, which would pass costs either to consumers or regional budgets, is unlikely to come to fruition in the near future, Mikhail Rasstrigin, an analyst at VTB Capital said by phone from Moscow.
“The idea is logical but only if power utilities get lower prices in summer,” Rasstrigin said. “That’s the kind of a market that Russia aims to create in the coming decade but in reality the decisions won’t be approved in the near future.”

The Bus 300 affair - which involved the killing of two captured and bound terrorists who tried to hijack the No. 300 bus on its way from Tel Aviv to Ashkelon in April 1984 - came to light thanks to a photograph by Alex Levac that was published in the now-defunct daily Hadashot. It culminated in the president granting pardons to those suspected of obstructing the subsequent investigation by giving false testimony. Yet it lived on in the national consciousness.
Now, more than 25 years later, it has been revived by Ehud Yatom's quest to become chairman of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority's plenum council. Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan wants to give Yatom the job, in light of his public activism in various fields, including protecting the environment.
However, the Justice Ministry reportedly opposes the appointment, for fear that it would be voided by the High Court of Justice should anyone petition the court against it on the grounds that Yatom, who was a senior Shin Bet security service official in 1984, has repeatedly admitted to being the one who killed the two terrorists on orders from the head of the service - in a statement to the police, in his pardon application and in a newspaper interview.
This affair led the High Court to lay down several new legal principles. In 1986, it confirmed that the president is authorized to preemptively pardon someone before he is even indicted, much less convicted. It therefore upheld the then-president's decision to pardon 11 senior Shin Bet officials, including Yatom, in the Bus 300 case.
The authority to issue preemptive pardons was upheld by then-justices Meir Shamgar and Miriam Ben-Porat, with Aharon Barak dissenting. In her fascinating new book "Through the Robe," Ben-Porat describes how she proposed to her colleagues that they also examine the reasonability of granting pardons in this particular case, but they insisted that the court has no authority to examine the reasonability of the president's decisions.
Then, in 1993, the court overturned the cabinet's decision to appoint Yossi Ginossar as director general of the Housing Ministry, because Ginossar, who was also a senior Shin Bet official in 1984, had confessed in his pardon application to committing perjury and obstructing an internal Shin Bet investigation of the affair. In a ruling authored by Barak, the court said that a senior office-holder such as a ministry director general must radiate "honesty and integrity" - which a man who has confessed to crimes of this nature cannot do, even if he was later pardoned by the president.
In 1998, Knesset speaker Dan Tichon sought to appoint Yatom as the Knesset's chief security officer. I wrote in Haaretz at the time that this appointment was unreasonable, and would dishonor the Knesset's ethics code, because the occupant of this senior office - who is equivalent to a major general in the police - is supposed to serve as an example to his subordinates. In the end, the appointment fell through and I was harshly criticized by Yatom's many friends, who suspected that I had helped to achieve that outcome.
Yatom did serve as city manager of Hadera, but still sought to earn a public amnesty by being appointed to a senior security post. And in 2001, 17 years after the affair first broke, then-prime minister Ariel Sharon indeed appointed him to head the government's Counter-Terrorism Bureau. But the High Court overruled the appointment later that year, due to the position's "direct connection" with the field of counterterrorism - the very field in which Yatom tripped up in 1984. Then-justice Eliahu Mazza also stressed the seniority of the position, whose occupant must direct and instruct others, and the moral authority that its occupant must consequently have. However, the court did not rule out Yatom's appointment to other public positions, or, since the law does not forbid it, his election to the Knesset - something that later took place.
The current appointment is to a post that is not especially high-level, and has nothing to do with protecting the state - only with protecting the environment. Moreover, there is no reason to persecute Yatom for eternity. The Justice Ministry ought to make it clear without delay that there is no barrier to his appointment for any reason related to an incident from his past. And it seems likely that the court would also so rule, should a petition be filed against the appointment. After a quarter of a century, the time has come for the Bus 300 affair to finally reach the end of the line.

RNLI lifeguard patrols set to return to Exmouth
PUBLISHED: 17:00 18 June 2020
Lifeguard patrols are set to return to Exmouth on Saturday (June 20).
RNLI is hoping to have lifeguards on around 170 beaches in the UK within the next two weeks with Exmouth one of the venues where patrols will return.
Mark Dowie, RNLI chief executive, said: ‘We are now confident we can provide a more comprehensive lifeguard service this summer safely, despite the continuing challenges created by the pandemic.”
The charity is also continuing to urge anyone planning to visit Exmouth to make sure they keep themselves and their families safe by following this beach safety advice:
• Have a plan - check the weather forecast, tide times and read local hazard signage
• Keep a close eye on your family – on the beach and in the water
• Don’t allow your family to swim alone
• Don’t use inflatables
• If you fall into the water unexpectedly, float to live. Fight your instinct to thrash around, lean back, extend your arms and legs, and float
• In an emergency dial 999, and ask for the coastguard

Which player is getting psyched for Man City's trip to Arsenal by watching Vieira and Keane's fierce face off?
As a football fan, it's near impossible not to get psyched for your club's latest away day on the journey down to the stadium - and it's exactly the same for the players.
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has been getting ready for Saturday evening's Barclays Premier League clash with Arsenal by watching Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane's fierce clash from the Gunners' 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United in August 1999.
Posting a picture of his laptop on the train down to the capital, Kompany tweeted: 'On our way to London. Should be an entertaining trip...'

Clash of the Titans: Vieira takes a swipe at Keane during United's 2-1 victory over Arsenal in August 1999
Vieira and Keane clashed on several occasions during the late nineties and early 2000s as the Red Devils and Gunners annually went head-to-head to claim domestic silverware.
As well as 1999, the duo clashed once more in 2005 in which a bitter tunnel row ensued between the pair.
Speaking in an ITV documentary last December, Vieira admitted to starting the fracas, with Keane unhappy that the Arsenal captain chose to 'target' Gary Neville.
‘I heard you picking on Gary,’ Keane said to Vieira. ‘You were picking on the weak link.’
a frank exchange the Frenchman - who had been
angered by previous treatment dished out to Robert Pires by the
right-back - replied: ‘I said to him that if he touched Robert I would
come after him.’
Keane arrived to the heated debate late, which finished with referee Graham Poll having to step in.

Since the two midfield heavyweights left the Premier League, no players have really stepped into the breach and continued the duels we all came to expect when Arsenal took on United.
Kompany himself rarely gets involved in on-pitch scuffles but nevertheless, City manager Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping his skipper doesn't get too worked up after the Belgian defender was dismissed during his side's 2-0 victory over Hull two weeks ago.
Man City can top the table on goal difference with a victory over Arsene Wenger's side on Saturday.

Like other apa style papers, research papers in nursing should follow the following format: title, abstract, introduction, literature review, method, results, discussion, references, and appendices (see sections 201-211 of the apa manual. Writing a literature review for nursing is an excellent way to become acquainted with a specific area of research the purpose is to critically evaluate the published body of knowledge on your topic. The implementation of evidence-based practice in nursing, also called systematic review , requires the review of such research with the intention of targeting and improving inadequate practice.

Literature review is a critical report on what a scientific research says about your work on a specific subject it is common to find lecturers asking their students to do an apa literature review of a topic that they propose to base their project on. Usually, a nursing literature review is a part of a nursing research proposal or a nursing thesis so, information on both kinds of papers will be useful to you so, information on both kinds of papers will be useful to you.

It’s time for the 158th edition of You Asked, The Gymternet Answered! We apologize if we haven’t gotten to your question yet, but we try to answer in the order in which they were received (unless they are super relevant and need to be answered in a timely manner). Something you want to know? Ask us anonymously by going through the contact form at the bottom of the page.
What’s the difference between the apparatus world cup series and the challenge cup world series? Do they have separate rankings?
The apparatus world cup series will qualify gymnasts to the Olympics and the challenge cup will not. They do have separate rankings. But both offer monetary prizes so gymnasts will regularly do both the world cup and the challenge cup series for that reason in addition to making the world cup series in 2018-2020 a focus since that’s when the Olympic qualifying rounds begin.
What’s the difference between Xcel and J.O.? Have there been any prominent Xcel gymnasts that have been to worlds or the Olympics?
Xcel is meant for gymnasts who don’t want to make the huge time and financial commitment that J.O. requires, but who still want to compete at the optional level (level 6-10 in J.O.). The skill level is far lower in general in the Xcel program, so an Xcel gymnast who ends up being really strong and competing crazy skills could conceivably attempt to qualify elite, but being in the Xcel program, there’s not really anyone keeping an eye on them in the women’s national program whereas the J.O. optional girls have more of a presence on the national scene and will have an easier time transitioning over into the women’s elite program. So yeah, it’s not impossible, but it hasn’t happened yet and probably won’t. If anything, the most talented Xcel girls will just move into J.O. optional levels and hope to reach level 9-10 and then qualify elite from there.
Why didn’t Larisa Iordache compete at Stuttgart?
Based on how her bars and beam looked at the Sainté Gym Cup, she probably just wasn’t ready to put together a full all-around program in time for a big competition like the Stuttgart World Cup where all-around is the focus. It’s better that she eases her way back into it rather than throw herself into a big international all-around meet, so even though she probably had good intentions going into that meet, she eventually must have realized she just wasn’t ready.
Is it correct that not landing feet first on vault will no longer be a 0, and just a full point off?
No. The big change that came on vault is that the judges can downgrade the Produnova to a handspring front tuck if the second flip isn’t rotated completely. If a gymnast doesn’t land it feet-first, she’ll still get the zero, but if she does that cheat where she doesn’t fully rotate the second flip but slaps her feet down forward on the mat before falling so she doesn’t get a zero, they can downgrade it pretty heavily to a front tuck and count the fall, which will result in a super low score.
WHY AM I JUST FINDING THIS SITE? How long will it take me to read every word on this website?
Hahaha. 🙂 Let’s see, at the time I’m answering this, we have 1631 posts, at about 1500 words per post on average, which is 2,446,500 words. An average person reads 200 words per minute, which is 12,000 words per hour. If you read three hours a day at 36,000 words per day, it would take you about 68 days to read every word on this website. If you read straight through without stopping to eat or go to the bathroom or sleep, it would take you about eight and a half days nonstop. GOOD LUCK.
Do you know what Mai Murakami is up to at the moment? Does she have plans to continue to Tokyo?
She is still training, and is expected to go straight through to Tokyo. Following the Olympic Games, Mai competed at All Japan Team Championships where she won vault and floor, and then she went on to win beam and floor at the Toyota International competition. She made her 2017 debut at the All-Japan Championships a couple of weeks ago, winning the all-around and posting the top scores on beam and floor in addition to the second-best score on vault. So basically, she’s KILLING IT, and actually, her two floor scores there are so far the two best floor scores of 2017 out of something like 2000 elite routines thus far. So excited for her, and hope she can medal at worlds this year.
Is scoring the same for J.O. and NCAA? Can I, as an amateur, learn how scoring works? Or at least learn to approximate a gymnast’s score from watching the routine? If there an official document I can read to figure out deductions?
Execution deductions are much more severe in J.O. than they are in NCAA. A hop that gets a few tenths in J.O. might get half a tenth in NCAA. For the most part, an amateur can watch an NCAA routine and get to know the basic deductions to guess what a gymnast might score…just watch competitions on the SEC Network and they give you enough of the basics with illustrations and stuff showing what constitutes a good routine and what would incur deductions. I don’t think the code is online (I can only ever find code updates but not the actual code), but really, just look for hops on landings, leg separations, and things like that. You’re not gonna know every single deduction if you’re just starting out, and you might not even see everything aside from the really obvious things like hops because you have to train your eye to know what to look for especially when routines and skills happen so quickly. But NCAA is definitely pretty easy to get used to in terms of figuring out how much will get deducted.
Does every college team have a team manager? I’m interested in becoming one but am nowhere near the level of someone like Jordyn Wieber. Would it be possible to still be one?
Yeah, most have team managers and some have almost no gymnastics experience. You definitely don’t need to be an Olympian to move mats around and help organize practices and things like that. Most team managers are students at that particular school, and will only take on that role during the time in which they’re at school…it’s not like a lifer position where you get hired and do it for 30 years. Most who are team managers in school do it because they want to go into some kind of team position as a career, whether that’s a coach or working in admin or something like that. Your best bet would be going to a school with an NCAA gymnastics program and asking around to see if they need a team manager or some sort of volunteer to help them out.
What happened to Shang Chunsong on bars in Baku?
I’m still not sure. No one seems to know. Her score suggests that she got on, performed a kip cast handstand, and hopped right off. Had she scratched, she would’ve received a zero, but getting a 0.3 E with a 9.733 D isn’t something a judge would give out to a gymnast who scratches. But someone who was there said she didn’t touch the bars, so my guess is that she just scratched and there was a glitch with the scoring system or something.
In the past it seemed that gymnasts would keep floor routines for at least two seasons, but now it looks like they get them every year. What is the reasoning?
Some still have them for two seasons. There’s really no reasoning. Sometimes a gymnast might bring in a new floor routine with the hopes of competing it for two years but it’s not really well-received, so they get another new routine or, as Laurie Hernandez and Lieke Wevers did in 2016, they’ll try out something new but end up going back to an old routine that got tons of love. Or maybe they just tire of a routine after one season and want something else the following year. But the majority still keep floor routines for more than a year, unless like, they get a routine in the year before an Olympic year and instead of changing things up with only six months to compete leading up to the Games, they’d rather just keep the old routine to get more familiar with it rather than unveiling a new one to surprise everyone.
Why did it seem more common to stick landings with the old horse, and maybe even the old floor?
It’s probably more the mats for vault? They definitely weren’t as soft or bouncy as they are now, and it can be difficult to sink into these current mats and then hold that position. It could also be that when the old horse was in use, gymnasts at the highest levels were doing easier vaults, so if you have a gymnast with the talent of a Simone Biles or someone like that doing a full on vault, obviously you’re going to have more sticks. On floor, I think it’s definitely because the old floors were far less bouncier than the current ones are.
Is it true that judges give better scores to American gymnasts in U.S. competitions than in international competitions? I’ve heard that international judges give tougher scores.
Every single country’s domestic judges far outscore what a routine might be scored internationally. Just this year, domestic meets in Russia, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Spain, Norway, Ukraine, Denmark, and the Czech Republic have scored routines higher on average than those same gymnasts have earned for hit routines internationally. In 2014, I went through and compared every gymnast’s nationals scores to her worlds scores and while there was usually a difference, it was never more than a couple of tenths per routine (aside from the occasional insane scores, but those were rare) and because every country was doing it, it made literally no difference in terms of predicting how each team would do in finals. In fact, not only did we accurately predict every single team placement in 2014, we predicted the U.S. team score within about a tenth of how they actually scored. So yeah, a beam routine that gets a 14.8 in the U.S. or the Netherlands or Russia this season might only get a 14.5 at worlds, but it won’t really matter at all.
Why do college gymnasts salute differently?
I don’t know the story behind it or why gymnasts started doing it, but it’s just become kind of a tradition to do a hilariously exaggerated dramatic arched back salute when hitting a great routine. NCAA gymnasts also do more fist pumping and celebrating after successful routines than elites do, so the big crazy salute is probably just an extension of that celebration. My favorite is Peyton Ernst’s spoof of the salute, but yes, these salutes are even known as the ‘college salute’ and should basically be worth a C as a skill value.
In both Riley McCusker and Laurie Hernandez’s bars routines they repeat Tkachevs. Why are they given credit even though they are repeating a skill?
They’re not repeating skills. Tkachevs have many variations, and they’re doing multiple Tkachev variations. Both Riley and Laurie have (well, had for Laurie) a straddle Tkachev, a Downie (stalder to piked Tkachev), and a Ricna (stalder to straddle Tkachev). Even though they’re all technically Tkachevs, the entry and the shape in the air change the skill officially in the code of points.
Why did Jordyn Wieber compete at the American Cup as a junior in 2009? Is that still allowed?
The American Cup didn’t become an official FIG world cup until 2011. Prior to that, Martha Karolyi simply selected the top gymnasts for that meet, and because Jordyn happened to be the top gymnast as a junior, she beat all of the senior gymnasts at camp and got one of the two spots. A junior can no longer compete at the American Cup because of its official FIG world cup status, which allows only senior gymnasts to compete.
Can you explain what the deal was with Brenna Dowell and her floor music at 2015 worlds? Who messed up?
The music itself was just a glitch, probably something going wrong with the person operating the sound system. I think when it glitched, because she had gone onto the floor expecting it to start, there was a concern that she would get a penalty if she didn’t start right away, so Martha Karolyi told her to just go without the music. I don’t think it was anyone’s fault, music mistakes happen all the time, but rather just a concern that they’d get the penalty, and so out of that concern, they just freaked out and had her go.
What has happened to Maria Kharenkova?
As far as I know, she was still training late last year, but I don’t think she’s been seriously training at the elite level even if she’s in the gym…like, before the Olympics is the last time she was seriously training, I’m pretty sure. She did start judging I think…so maybe she’s planning on moving on from competing even if she hasn’t officially retired.
What is Chantysha Netteb up to after her horrible injury at worlds in 2013?
She got back into the sport in early 2016 with the goal of coming back to get a vault spot at the Olympics, but then she reinjured her knee during warm-ups on floor at the IAG SportEvent in May, her first competition back, and wasn’t able to contend for an Olympic spot. I don’t think she has officially retired (if she has, I haven’t seen anything), so hopefully we’ll see her back again, especially now that two of the best Dutch vaulters have officially retired (Lisa Top and Noel van Klaveren).
I thought Katelyn Ohashi went pro a long time ago. How is she in NCAA?
Even though Katelyn competed at the elite level, she never went pro, so she had no issues with her eligibility coming in to compete in NCAA.
Is there a reason Gabby Douglas didn’t vault in Rio team finals? She seemed better than Laurie Hernandez there.
Yeah, that was confusing…she had a much better vault than Laurie but for some reason, Laurie outscored her in qualifications and so they used Laurie in finals. Laurie also outscored Ellie Downie despite Downie’s DTY being literally on an entirely different planet, that’s how much better than Laurie’s it was. I guess the judges just loved her? But yeah, her DTY was never great. Some casual dumb Olympic judging.
How tall is Ragan Smith now?
Maybe 4’6” or 4’8” or so? That’s based on me standing near her at American Cup and basing her height off of mine, though, so it might not be totally accurate but it’s probably around there.
What are Svetlana Khorkina and Lilia Podkopayeva doing now?
Svetlana is the vice president of the Russian Artistic Gymnastics Federation, a position she’s held since 2005, and she also does commentary for gymnastics at times, like for Olympic coverage. She has an 11-year-old son and got married a few years ago, and I believe is also involved with Putin’s government in some way (she used to hold an official role and her husband has some sort of role now). Lilia is married with two kids, won Ukraine’s version of Dancing with the Stars in 2007, and is a U.N. goodwill ambassador. I think she lives in the U.S., or spends a lot of time here. I see her at events every so often and she always looks like she’s having fun.
Did Adria Biles retire?
She hasn’t competed in about a year, but I don’t know what her status is in terms of training with the goal of competing in the future.
Do gymnasts get paid for world championships medals the same way they do for Olympic medals?
Yes, there are payments for medal winners at world championships. It’s not considered ‘prize money’ even though it technically is, so gymnasts are allowed to accept it and still maintain NCAA eligibility.
Nina Derwael’s new bars routine has two releases from a stalder. I thought entries had to be different to get credit under the new code?
Under the new code, gymnasts can’t have three different skills from the same entry. So a Downie and a Ricna half are fine, and she can also do one more stalder skill after that, so her Chow half is also allowed. But beyond those three, she can’t have any more stalder skills count as part of the eight skills that make up her D score. Most gymnasts do have a good amount of variety between stalders, toe-ons, inbars, clear hips, and regular swings…but some routines are super stalder-heavy, like Laurie Hernandez’s bars last year, where she had at least six stalder entry skills.
Why did Andreea Munteanu get an 8.9 E score on beam at worlds in 2014? What did Stefania Stanila fall on?
She got an 8.9 E score because she had a hit routine. I’m not sure what Stefania fell on…I’m assuming you mean her beam in team finals? I never saw that routine…it wasn’t in the live feed because they didn’t do a live stream of qualifications, and it isn’t anywhere on YouTube.
What is the reasoning behind gymnasts saluting the judges, touching the apparatus, and saluting again when they scratch?
They’re basically communicating to the judges that even though they’re on the start list to compete that event, they won’t be competing it. If they don’t officially scratch by saluting, touching, and not saluting, it’s kind of like “we were expecting them, where are they, they didn’t officially say they weren’t competing” or whatever and it invalidates their scores for other events. I’m pretty sure it works out so that if you’re not on the start list for that event, you don’t have to scratch, so Catalina Ponor didn’t have to scratch bars in Rio because she wasn’t expected to compete it, but Ana Derek, who was on the start list for bars but opted to scratch after she had her mistake on vault in the first rotation, would’ve been required to scratch if she wanted to go on and compete beam and floor and have her scores valid. That’s how it’s been explained to me, anyway.
Any idea why Giulianna Pino hasn’t competed for UCLA yet?
She’s probably just not making lineups. She came into a really deep team this year, and I don’t think she’s injured, so she’s probably an alternate for events rather than a member of any starting lineups.
The commentators for UCLA said Madison Kocian isn’t training much right now and that’s why she’s not sticking dismounts. Are there major differences between how much each athlete on the team trains each week?
Not really, unless gymnasts are dealing with injuries and playing it safe in training, but even then, they still go to the gym and condition and stuff like that. She’s probably still in the gym even if she’s not training at 100%.
How can I watch some of the FIG world cups that USA Gymnastics might not broadcast?
You basically just have to seek out links…I usually tweet whenever anything is streaming, but even though I follow everything really closely and am always hunting for streams, sometimes even I miss stuff because a lot of it can be tricky to track down.

World Supersport's second race of the weekend was seventeen laps of Catalunya with the title up for grabs for the second time this weekend.
World Supersport standings after the first race in Barcelona:
After the threat of rain, World Supersport would start on a dry track, and Andrea Locatelli could take the title with a win.
Raffaele De Rosa entered World Supersport Superpole knowing his qualifying wouldn't change his grid position as he would start the race from the pit lane as a penalty for crashing into Jules Cluzel last time out.
As track conditions improved, after a damp Superbike session, Isaac Viñales went quickest in the afternoon's session, ahead of Lucas Mahias, but nobody was able to improve on their morning's dry times.
Lucas Mahias was quickest, ahead of Isaac Viñales and Philipp Oettl with Andrea Locatelli fourth quickest. Locatelli is seventy nine points ahead of the absent Jules Cluzel and one hundred and six clear of Lucas Mahias, and two victories this weekend will get him his first World Supersport title.
World Supersport standings after the second race of the double header at Aragon:
World Supersport started with the same grid as race one, with championship leader Andrea Locatelli benefitting from his rivals being sent to the second row of the grid. Fifteen laps would not pass without incident.
World Supersport standings after the first race of the second weekend at Aragon:
World Supersport lined up for their third fifteen lap race around Motorland Aragon, but Jules Cluzel and Lucas Mahias were penalised places for not slowing for a yellow flag in Superpole as more circumstances landed in favour of Championship leader Andrea Locatelli.
