A bioenergetical analysis of swimming at intensities near competitive distances is inexistent. It was aimed to compare the transient kinetics responses and metabolic contributions whilst swimming at different velocities around . 12 trained male swimmers performed (i) an incremental protocol to determine the velocity at () and (ii) three square wave exercises from rest to 95, 100, and 105% of . was directly measured using a telemetric portable gas analyser and its kinetics analysed through a double-exponential model. Metabolic contributions were assessed through the sum of three energy components. No differences were observed in the fast component response (—15, 18, and 16 s, —36, 34, and 37 , and Gain—32, 29, and 30 at 95, 100, and 105% of the , resp.) but A2 was higher in 95 and 100% compared to 105% intensity (480.76 ± 247.01, 452.18 ± 217.04, and 147.04 ± 60.40 , resp.). The aerobic energy contribution increased with the time sustained (83 ± 5, 74 ± 6, and 59 ± 7% for 95, 100, and 105%, resp.). The adjustment of the cardiovascular and/or pulmonary systems that determine delivery and diffusion to the exercising muscles did not change with changing intensity, with the exception of slow component kinetics metabolic profiles.
1. Introduction
In the 1920s a sustained period of research in human exercise physiology emerged, with swimming (along with cycling and running) as one of the primary areas of research in sport sciences. In this sport, the maximal oxygen uptake () reveals itself as an important physiological parameter, expressing the swimmers' maximal metabolic aerobic performance [1, 2] that is one of the primary areas of interest in training and performance diagnosis [3]. In fact, determining the is the main aim of some studies, but the capacity to sustain this intensity in time is a recent topic of research. A big temporal gap exists between the pioneer study where was measured in swimming [4] and the first studies where time to exhaustion at the velocity corresponding to (Tlim-) was assessed [5–7]. Though being conducted in nonspecific swimming pool conditions (swimming flume), these studies evidenced that Tlim- depended inversely on the but was not related with . To date, few studies have been conducted in conventional competition conditions [1, 8–13], and none has proposed how kinetics might impact concerning distinct swimming intensities.
The quantification of the dynamic characteristics of kinetics has gained popularity in exercise physiology as a mean to unveil the mechanisms underlying the control muscular consumption in humans during exercise [14]. Traditionally, the dynamic response to exercise has been studied at three intensity domains: moderate—below the anaerobic threshold, heavy—above the anaerobic threshold, and below the critical power and severe—above the critical power until the boundary [15, 16]. In the severe intensity domain, neither nor blood lactate concentrations () can be stabilized, rising inexorably until fatigue ensues, with achieving its maximum value [17]. Here, the slow component is more pronounced compared to during heavy exercise, with its magnitude dependent on the duration and type of exercise [18]. More recently, the extreme exercise domain has been proposed for power outputs that lead to exhaustion before is attained [19], with the kinetics of characterized by the development of an evident fast component with insufficient time for the appearance of a discernible slow component [20]. Although the characteristics of the kinetics in the moderate and heavy intensity domains are well described (particularly in cycle and running ergometer exercise), few studies have investigated it during swimming around the intensity [7, 8, 11]. Moreover, these studies have only conducted a simplistic kinetics characterization by presenting the slow component as the unique kinetics parameter.
Given the current level of interest in exercise tolerance and kinetics, it is surprising that no study has examined both Tlim- and kinetics response at intensities close to . Trying to overcome this absence of data and aiming to disseminate knowledge to other forms of human locomotion, the purpose of this study is to compare the transient kinetics responses whilst swimming until exhaustion at different velocities around the intensity. In addition, the different metabolic contributions of each exhaustion exercise will also be analyzed. It was hypothesized that 5% of variability in swimming velocity will not promote significant changes in the fast component kinetics response phase but will promote distinct kinetics in the slow component phase.
2. Material and Methods
2.1. Subjects
Twelve well trained male swimmers (; age: yr, height: cm, body mass: kg, and mean performance for long course 200 m freestyle of % of the 2013 world record for this event), participants in national level competitions, volunteered to participate. All the swimmers, specialized in middle distance freestyle events, trained at least eight times per week and competed in National Championships for at least 4 years. Their maturational index (according to Tanner scale) corresponded to the 4 or 5 stages. Swimmers were familiar with the testing procedures as they were involved in previous physiological evaluations. All subjects avoided strenuous exercise in the 24 h before each testing session and were well hydrated and abstained from food, caffeine, and alcohol 3 h before testing. The protocols were conducted at the same time of the day for each subject and were separated by, at least, 24 h. All participants (or parent/guardians when subjects were under 18 yrs) provided informed written consent before data collection.
2.2. Experimental Design
Subjects visited the swimming pool facilities on four different occasions over a two-week period. In the first session, and were determined through an intermittent incremental protocol until exhaustion. In the subsequent visits, subjects completed three square wave exercises from rest to distinct percentages of intensity until exhaustion to assess its time sustained. Encouragement was given to motivate the swimmers to perform their best effort in the incremental protocol and to perform as long as possible during the square wave exercises.
2.3. Incremental Protocol
Briefly, each subject performed an individualized intermittent incremental protocol for front crawl assessment, with increments of and 30 s intervals between each 200 m stage until exhaustion [9, 21]. According to these studies, the initial velocity was established according to the individual level of fitness and was set at the swimmer's individual performance on the 400 m front crawl minus seven increments of velocity. The velocity was controlled at each stage by a visual pacer with flashing lights in the bottom of the pool (TAR.1.1, GBK-electronics, Aveiro, Portugal). was considered to be reached according to primary and secondary criteria [22] and all ventilatory parameters mean values were measured over the last 60 s of the exercise. If a plateau less than could not be observed, was calculated as previously described [23].
2.4. Time to Exhaustion Tests
A total of three experimental exhaustive conditions were conducted in randomized order: 95, 100, and 105% of . Each square wave exercise consisted of three distinct phases: 10 min warm-up at 50% of the , a short rest period (300 s), and the maintenance of the specific swimming intensity until exhaustion [8, 11]. The square wave exercises ended when the swimmers could no longer maintain the required velocity dictated by the visual feedback. Ventilatory parameters were calculated as the average values measured over the last 60 s of each exhaustive exercise.
2.5. Experimental Measurements
Respiratory and pulmonary gas-exchange variables were directly measured using a telemetric portable gas analyzer (, Cosmed, Rome, Italy), suspended over the water (at a 2 m height) in a steel cable following the swimmer along the pool and minimizing disturbances of the normal swimming movements. This apparatus was connected to the swimmer by a low hydrodynamic resistance respiratory snorkel and valve system (Aquatrainer, Cosmed, Rome, Italy [24]), which presents inspiratory and expiratory tubes of 86 cm length counting a volume of 847 mL from the mouthpiece to the turbine. It contains a dead space at the valves assembly, of 11.3 mL. In-water starts and open turns, without underwater gliding, were used. Heart rate (HR) was monitored and registered continuously by a Polar Vantage NV (Polar electro Oy, Kempele, Finland) that telemetrically emitted the data to the portable unit. The gas analysers were calibrated before each test with gases of known concentration (16% and 5% ) and the turbine volume transducer was calibrated by using a 3 L syringe. Capillary blood samples (25 μL) for were collected from the earlobe during the 30 s intervals (incremental protocol) and immediately at the end of exercise during the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th min of the recovery period, until maximal values were reached (), in both incremental and square wave exercises (Lactate Pro, Arkay, Inc., Kyoto, Japan).
2.6. Data Analysis
Firstly, occasional breath values were omitted from the analysis by including only those in-between mean ± 4 standard deviations. After verification of the data, individual breath-by-breath responses were smoothed by using a 3-breath moving average and time average of 5 s [21]. For kinetics analysis, the first 20 s of data after the onset of exercise (cardiodynamic phase) were not considered for model analysis. For this, a double-exponential (1) equation was used where a nonlinear least squares method was implemented in the MatLab Software to fit the data with the model: where represents the relative at the time , is the at rest () and and (), and , and and are the amplitudes, the corresponding time delays, and time constants of the fast and slow components, respectively. The oxygen deficit () was calculated as the multiplication of and . In turn, was used to determine the gain (/velocity) of the primary fast component. The relative contribution of the slow component to the overall increase in at the end exercise was calculated as . For the primary fast component to be accurately described by an exponential model, the duration of the primary rise before the onset of the slow component must be sufficiently long (≥4 times ), in all subjects at all swimming intensities.
The maximal metabolic expenditure () amounted during the square wave exercises was assumed to be the sum of the three components: aerobic (Aer), anaerobic lactic (Analac), and anaerobic alactic (Anaalac) energies [25–27]. The Aer contribution was calculated from the time integral of the net versus time relationship in the appropriate time ranges (mL ) and then expressed in kJ assuming an energy equivalent of [28]. The Analac was estimated through the energy derived from lactic acid production (2): where is the net accumulation of lactate after exercise, is the energy equivalent for lactate accumulation in blood (2.7 [29]), and (kg) is the mass of the swimmers (mL ). Then, it was expressed in kJ assuming an energy equivalent of [28].
The Anaalac was assessed from the maximal PCr splitting in the contracting muscle: where Anaalac is the anaerobic alactic contribution, is the exercise time, is time constant of the PCr splitting at the onset of exhausting exercise (23.4 s [30]), is the body mass, and PCr is the phosphocreatine concentration at rest. This latter was estimated assuming that, in transition from rest to exhaustion, its concentration decreases by muscle wet weight (in a maximally working muscle mass equal to 30% of the overall body mass). Anaalac was, thus, expressed in kJ by assuming an energy equivalent of and a ratio of 6.25 [31].
2.7. Statistical Analysis
Individual, mean, and standard deviations (SD) values were used for descriptive analysis for all studied variables and measures of skewness, kurtosis, and the Shapiro-Wilk test allowed to assess the normality and homogeneity of the data. The differences in ventilatory, metabolic, and kinetics parameters and time sustained between the square wave exercises at 95, 100, and 105% of were tested for statistical significance using ANOVA for repeated measures. When a significant value was achieved, the Bonferroni post hoc procedures were conducted to locate the pairwise differences between the averages. Simple linear regression and Pearson's correlation coefficients were also used. All statistical procedures were conducted with SPSS 10.05 and the significance level was set at 5%.
3. Results
Time to exhaustion decreased with increasing swimming velocity: , and at , and (corresponding to 95, 100 and 105% of the , resp.). Table 1 lists the data regarding the ventilatory and metabolic parameters assessed during the incremental and the square wave bouts performed at different percentages of .
There were no differences between the determined physiologic parameters obtained in the incremental protocol and the square wave exercises and between the different time to exhaustion tests. Table 2 shows the kinetics parameters obtained at 95, 100, and 105% of during the square wave exercises.
At all intensities, the best data fit was obtained when the model incorporated a slow component (, and for 95, 100, and 105% of intensity) as opposed to a single exponential model, once a significant decrease in the sum of squared residuals occurred (the criterion measure used for each model). In fact, the -test values evidenced a high heterogeneity between both models variances, also confirmed by the differences between their mean values. No differences were found between different time to exhaustion bouts regarding the fast component phase, but was higher at 95 and 100% compared to the 105% intensity and with physiological meaning (≥200 ) only at former intensities. In addition, the relative contribution of to total kinetics response was similar in-between 95 and 100% and higher than 105% . Moreover, the was higher at 95% compared to 100 and 105% of and was higher in 95 and 100% compared to 105% of . An individual kinetics response and the mean and SD values for the swimming velocity and the metabolic contributions at 95, 100, and 105% of are shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b).
Each square wave started with a sudden and exponential increase, independently of the swimming intensity. Differences between the Ana, Analac, and Anaalac contributions were found between time to exhaustion intensities, with exception to the Anaalac that was similar between 95 and 100% of .
In Figure 2 it is possible to observe the relationships between swimming performance indicators and kinetics parameters obtained at the different time to exhaustion bouts, with significant correlation values found between (i) and at 95% of (a); (ii) and time sustained at 100% of (b); and (iii) and time sustained at 105% of , and, and (c).
4. Discussion
Studies investigating kinetics when performing to exhaustion have been conducted mainly in cycle ergometry and treadmill exercise, presenting a pretty simplistic approach when comparing different exercise intensities. The current study is the first attempt to examine and compare the kinetics during swimming to exhaustion at different velocities around the intensity. The exercise duration decreased when intensity increased, similarly to what was proposed for other cyclic sports. In addition, no differences were found in the fast component related parameters (, , and Gain) between 95, 100, and 105% of , supporting our hypothesis that a 5% change in swimming velocity surrounding the intensity would not be sufficient to promote changes in the primary phase of kinetics response. However, was higher at 95 and 100% compared to 105% of corroborating the hypothesis that different swimming intensities near would promote distinct slow component kinetic profiles. In addition, was different between the studied intensities.
is the most commonly measured parameter in applied physiological sciences. The mean values obtained at the end of the incremental protocol are in accordance with those presented for middle distance swimmers [5, 6], but lower than those described for elite swimmers [8–11], runners [32, 33], cyclists [34, 35], and rowers [36, 37], probably explained by the use of a larger muscle mass in these sports. Also, the observed mean values are lower compared to other exercise modes, which can explain the lower mean values found. This fact suggests that a lower metabolic acidosis occurs in swimming compared to other sports or that swimmers are less sensitive to it [5]. Furthermore, no differences were observed in the ventilatory and metabolic parameters between the incremental protocol and the square wave exercises, in agreement with the literature for 100% swimming exercise [1, 5, 11]. In-between intensities comparison did not evidence changes in ventilatory and metabolic mean values, conversely to the differences found between 100 and 105% of in running [32].
Specifically in swimming, only Demarie et al. [7] analysed a time to exhaustion at intensities different from 100% of , showing that swimmers were able to sustain ~375 s at 96% of , studying agreement with our current data (~344 s). The values reported in the current study for 100% are also similar to those presented for highly trained swimmers performing at the same intensity [9–11] but are lower than others obtained in nonreal competition conditions [5, 6]. In addition, Alberty et al. [12, 13] conducted studies performed at 95 and 100% of the velocity of the 400 m front crawl (not measuring ventilatory parameters), observing a longer time to exhaustion compared to ours (~670 and 238 s). Collectively, these studies seem to evidence that time sustained at intensities around depends also on the conditions in which they occurred. In fact, it has been reported that swimming flume might influence the , , and the Tlim- assessment, as well as the swimming technique, and, therefore, could explain the differences found [8].
Concerning the kinetics, the observed mean value is lower than values obtained for to 100 and 400 m front crawl all-out efforts [38, 39] but higher compared to the 200 m front crawl all-out efforts [2, 40]. Conversely, the value found is in accordance with previous reports for 7 min swimming at heavy [41, 42] and severe intensities [42] and for 400 m performed at 100% [43]. The kinetics response was also characterized by a similar in-between the time to exhaustion tests, in line with previous cycling and treadmill ergometer studies who have showed that it remains constant as exercise intensity increases from moderate to heavy and to severe intensity domains, despite the increasing acidosis [44–47]. The current study also corroborates the absence of differences in between intensities around cycling exercise (90, 100, and 120%, [47]). It has been suggested that the characteristics of kinetics provide insights into the physiological mechanisms responsible for the control of, and the limitations to, VO2 kinetics following the onset of exercise [48]. Thus, similar values observed seem to suggest that an delivery and diffusion are not influenced by a 5% external arousal in swimming at intensity. In fact, at 95% of , a positive correlation was observed between and , evidencing that if a limiting factor exists, it may be related to peripheral factors (from convective transport, to its diffusion and utilization in the muscles) and not to central ones ( delivery and transportation to the working muscles).
Complementarily, the mean value obtained in this study is in accordance with previous reports for swimming at heavy intensity [41] but lower compared to higher intensities [2, 40, 42]. The similar values across conditions do not corroborate the fact that an increase in amplitude is linearly related to the increase in exercise intensity [45–47]. However, when comparing intensities around in cycling exercise [47], differences have only been observed between 90% and 110% of . These results suggest that the 5% velocity changes on our experimental set were not sufficient to induce modifications in , as previously noted for . Well linked to the first component amplitude is the fast component Gain that evidenced a tendency to decrease with increasing intensity, in line with the decrease reported as the exercise intensity approaches the individuals' [47]. Comparison in the gain between intensities around (90, 100, and 110% of ) have been reported only for cycling exercise [47], being this study the first attempt to assess the gain during swimming exercise surrounding the intensity. The lack of differences seems to indicate that the 5% changes in swimming velocity were insufficient to induce an adjustment of delivery and diffusion to the exercising muscles.
The magnitude of the slow component is considered to have physiological meaning only when it is ≥200 [49] (although this value is still a matter of debate), occurring at 95 and 100% of . At these intensities (the severe intensity domain), the attainment of a steady state is delayed due to the emergence of a supplementary slowly developing component of the response [18], corroborating the lack of differences found in between 95 and 100% of intensities. The values found in the current study for 95 and 100% of intensities are in accordance with those previously reported at 96% of [7] but are higher than those presented for 100% of [8, 11] and for the heavy intensity exercise domain [41, 42]. This lack of agreement could be explained by the method that was used to assess the slow component-fixed interval method that seems to result in lower values compared to the mathematical modeling method [39] and is considerd a simple rough estimate of this parameter [48].
At intensities higher than (the extreme intensity domain), the exercise duration is so short (≤2 min) that a slow component is not readily observed [16], confirmed at 105% of . The relative contribution of the slow component to the overall increase in at the end exercise was higher than those presented for heavy domain [41, 42], but being and dependent variables, this was an expectable outcome. Although some explanations to better understand the slow component phenomenon have been proposed [3], its origin in swimming is even more uncertain than in running and cycling [7]. The current study seems to indicate that possibly the type and pattern of recruitment of the available motor units were clearly modified. The lack of direct relationships between time sustained and slow component, as found previously [8, 17, 50], suggests that near the intensity the slow component is not linked with the time sustained.
Regarding values, the Aer contribution was higher at 95% compared to 100 and 105% of and the anaerobic (lactic and alactic) contribution evidenced the opposite trend. These relative values (percentage of the total energy spent) show similar absolute values for the Analac and Anaalac contributions (~21, 26, and 28 kJ and 29.3, 29.2, and 29.1 kJ for 95, 100, and 105% of , resp.) but different ones for the Aer contribution (265, 169, and 184 kJ at 95, 100, and 105% of , resp.). This fact can be explained by the time sustained at each intensity once the assessment of the Aer contribution was through the time integral from the to time curve. To date, this metabolic comparison has never been conducted at different intensities around . In fact, the literature regarding all energetic contributions in all sports is very scarce and, particularly in swimming, has been applied remotely [25–27]. Thus, caution must be taken when comparisons between the present results with others studies are made once the method by which the energy release was determined can have a significant influence on the calculated relative contribution of the energy systems during periods of maximal exercise [51]. At 95% of , the Aer contribution (~83%) was similar to the percentage proposed previously for 333 s exercise duration [26], but the Analac (~7%) and Anaalac (~10%) contributions were lower than those presented for 112 s [25] and 200 m all-out effort [27]. At 100 and 105% of , the Aer contributions (~74 and 59%) were similar to previous reports [25–27] but some inconsistencies were found in the remaining fractions of Analac (~12 and 20%) and Anaalac (~14 and 21%) contributions [25, 27]. The observed inverse relationship between time sustained and at 100 and 105% of (Figure 2) is in accordance with previous reports for similar swimming intensities [1, 5, 6, 8, 9] and could indicate a significative strenuous effort, with a more pronounced recruitment of anaerobic energy pathways (Figure 1). This fact could lead to earlier fatigue stages and, consequently, to shorter time sustained efforts. The inverse trend (greater dependency of the aerobic energy pathway) could explain the lack of an inverse relationship between time to exhaustion and at 95% of .
Further studies to compare the transient kinetics responses and metabolic contributions whilst swimming at different velocities around maximal intensities are supported by the data from this study. However, the fact that only one transition from rest to 95, 100, and 105% of intensity was done could lead to a low signal-to-noise-ratio. Consequently, this factor could have influenced the swimmers' performance and subsequent kinetics and, for that, should be construed as a possible limitation of the present study.
5. Conclusions
This study was the first attempt to examine and compare the VO2 kinetics and the metabolic profile during time to exhaustion exercise at different velocities around the intensity. The 5% velocity variability across conditions was not sufficient to promote changes in the kinetics of the fast component (, , and Gain) but resulted in differences in the kinetics of the slow component () and the corresponding metabolic profiles. Though being well documented in cycling and running exercise, VO2 kinetics has received considerably less research attention in swimming, even though it is providing a noninvasive into oxidative metabolism at the muscle level. Since athletes typically train at intensities surrounding the , understanding how subtle variations in intensity surrounding the impacts on oxidative metabolism and performance might have important implications for optimising high-intensity interval training.

adidas Originals "Wimbledon" Pack by Patrick Johnson 0 Comments
September 16, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 1
Takahiro Miyashita's Number (N)ine fell silent around the turn of the decade but the designer wasn't just feeling the crunch of a financial meltdown that'd caused the struggles of so many fashion companies. To the contrary, Miyashita was readying a new label after a dozen years on the earlier project, and a couple of years after the Number (N)ine x Converse Odessa collaboration closed out that brand, this new Three Stripes teamup adds attention to his new project. TheSoloist x adidas Originals capsule brings us four steely bluish-lavender suede drops in familiar styles including the Rod Laver (original and Vintage versions), Basket Profi and Norton, and we've got photos of the entire set after the jump below. Stick with Sneaker News to find out when they arrive at retailers and let us know which of these classic looks turned out best.

The Drowned Man is an original theatre production by British theatre company Punchdrunk, in collaboration with the Royal National Theatre.
The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable | |
Written by | Punchdrunk (directed by Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle) |
Date premiered | June 20, 2013 |
Place premiered | 31 London St, London United Kingdom |
Original language | English |
Official site |
Set within the fictional "Temple Pictures", The Drowned Man is Punchdrunk's largest theatre installation yet,[1] covering 200,000 sq ft., catering for up to 600 audience members per show [1] with a cast of nearly 40.[2] The production falls within several genres of theatre, including so-called site-specific theatre,[3] promenade theatre,[4] interactive theatre[5] or immersive theatre.[1] The audience members, who are free to roam around the sets at will, wear white masks to distinguish themselves from the cast, and the narrative is communicated through a series of overlapping scenes blending the mediums of interpretive dance, contemporary dance and traditional acting.[3] The show opened June 2013 and tickets run until 29 June 2014.[6]
Temple Pictures is the name of the fictional Hollywood film studio which forms the setting and backdrop of the production. It is physically located at 31 London Street, London, next to Paddington Station, occupying 4 floors of the building that was previously the Royal Mail sorting office.[2] It is described within the fiction as the British outpost of major Hollywood studio Republic Pictures around the time period of the 1960s.[3] The various sets and locations within the building represent internal and external locations both within Temple Pictures and also the outskirts of the town near which it is situated. The various locations include a desert, a saloon, a trailer park, a chapel, as well as several dressed sound stages and a Lynchian black and white chequerboard dancefloor.[3][7][8] As in previous Punchdrunk shows, the audience is free to roam around and explore the sets in their own way,[2] and the intricate detailing of the props and locations assists the audience in picking up the threads of the narrative.[9]
Creative Director Felix Barrett has said that The Drowned Man is "the first time that we've played with the idea of more than one lead narrative".[3] The two main narratives form mirrors of each other, one following the story of a couple within Temple Studios and the other a couple who live on the outskirts of the Hollywood town.[10] The main characters play out a tragic love story, with the numerous supporting characters embellishing the detail of that story as well as having some independent side-stories of their own.[3] Many aspects of the narrative draw influence from Georg Buchner's famous unfinished play Woyzeck, including the main themes of murder, madness and adultery.[11] However, the work also draws on several other sources for inspiration, including Nathanael West's (1939) novel The Day of the Locust [1] and Ray Bradbury's (1962) novel Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Several reviews have complimented the scale of the production and the ambitious use of multiple narratives, whilst also commenting that the scale can at times make the experience feel fragmented and difficult to follow.[4][9][12] However, the majority of official media reviews were written at the beginning of the show's run in June 2013, and since that time several important changes have been made to improve the audience's understanding of the story, including handing out slips of paper with a brief outline of the plot at the start.[10] Time Out magazine awarded the production 3 out of 5 stars, commenting that "as pure spectacle, Punchdrunk are now operating on a level that makes criticism basically redundant. But in terms of straight-up theatre, they have made better".[7] The Independent commented "For all its logistical flair the show is lacking in heart", awarding it 3 out of 5 stars[12] The London Evening Standard gave it 4 out of 5 stars, commenting "abandon all preconceptions of what theatre should be and prepare yourself for a multi-storey treat"[13] The Daily Telegraph awarded it 5 out 5 stars, asserting that "the masters of immersive theatre have returned with a show that will surely become a cult hit"[2] The Financial Times called it "Thrilling - Punchdrunk's newest 'immersive' piece is seedy, frightening and feels supremely alive", awarding it 5 out of 5 stars.[14]

Have You Thought About Your Social Network Lately?
Written By: Vicki Thomas
"We've known for a long time that people rely on social networks during times of crisis. What we didn't know, or at least what we haven't really been able to demonstrate, is exactly what happened to the social networks at a regional scale as people began to rely on them, or how people modified and changed their networks in reaction to social and environmental crises," Borck said. "This research gives us insight into that."

Christhilf, Davidm and Waszak, Martinr and Adams, Williamm and Srinathkumar, S and Mukhopadhyay, Vivek (1991) Design and test of three active flutter suppression controllers. In: 4th NASA Workshop on Computational Control of Flexible Aerospace Systems, 14-18 1991, United States.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Three flutter suppression control law design techniques are presented. Each uses multiple control surfaces and/or sensors. The first uses linear combinations of several accelerometer signals together with dynamic compensation to synthesize the modal rate of the critical mode for feedback to distributed control surfaces. The second uses traditional tools (pole/zero loci and Nyquist diagrams) to develop a good understanding of the flutter mechanism and produce a controller with minimal complexity and good robustness to plant uncertainty. The third starts with a minimum energy Linear Quadratic Gaussian controller, applies controller order reduction, and then modifies weight and noise covariance matrices to improve multi-variable robustness. The resulting designs were implemented digitally and tested subsonically on the Active Flexible Wing (AFW) wind tunnel model. Test results presented here include plant characteristics, maximum attained closed-loop dynamic pressure, and Root Mean Square control surface activity. A key result is that simultaneous symmetric and antisymmetric flutter suppression was achieved by the second control law, with a 24 percent increase in attainable dynamic pressure. (Author)

Tuesday 3 Mar 2015
By Cristina Carrillo De Albornoz. News, Issue 226, July-August 2011Published online: 19 July 2011
MADRID. An opera based on the life of Salvador Dalí and his wife Gala has finally been previewed in Madrid, seven years after its planned debut. "Yo, Dalí" (I, Dalí) opened at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in June. It will premiere at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona in October.
The four-act opera retells significant moments in the artist's life, with its main theme being his relationship with his wife, whom he met in Paris in 1929. The opera also encompasses Dalí's relationship with his father, as well as his relationships with his literary and artistic peers such as the poets Paul Eluard and Federico García Lorca, as well as the film-maker Luis Buñuel with whom Dalí collaborated before they fell out.In 2001, the composer Xavier Benguerel was commissioned to write the score by the Spanish ministry of culture, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth in 2004.However, a succession of changes in management and artistic direction at both the National Institute of Stage Arts and Music, the opera's sponsor, and the Teatro de la Zarzuela, meant the work was shelved. "It has been a real miracle to have this opera [performed]," said Benguerel."Yo, Dalí" is Benguerel's first full-length opera, following his earlier chamber opera, "Spleen", which made its debut in 1984. For the libretto, he first approached biographer and novelist Ian Gibson, renowned for his book The Shameful Life of Salvador Dalí, but Gibson turned him down. Benguerel's second choice was fêted Spanish playwright Jaime Salom, whose 1993 work "Almost a Goddess" dealt with the relationship between Dalí and Gala."All I knew about Gala and Dalí, I applied to this opera," said Salom. "Their relationship was a rare mixture of love-hate, greediness and generosity. She was all to Dalí and he depended on her completely. She was his wife, his twisted lover, his mother, even his enemy. Gala admired him as much as she despised him. And she made the Dalí myth." While Salom portrays Dalí as a genius who went mad through his own talent, Salom makes concessions to Gala. He explained: "Her father had been cheated by the tsar who asked him to move to Siberia where he thought he would find gold. Gala always blamed her father's death on poverty. That was the reason for her avarice."The libretto was written in English, Spanish, Catalan and French. "The opera also illustrates the megalomania of Dalí through a great orchestra with 80 musicians including five percussionists," said Benguerel.Dalí, who expressed a fondness for Wagner, wrote an "opera-poem", "Être Dieu" (To Be God), based on a libretto by the esteemed Spanish writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.

When making the blueberry mixture i will rduce the sugar by half next time. or use 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey.also, i'm inspired by the success of this french toast and fruit combination, and next time i will make it with an apple cinnamon mixture.Also, maybe my french bread was too big, but, i could not get 10 slices of bread into my 13x 9 pan.When the recipe called for us to ' pour into a large shallow baking dish'. I assumed this meant a 13 x 9, but the bread did not fit. so i did a 15x 2 x 11 jelly roll pan and, added one more egg and 1/4 cup of milk to my mixture. it worked out nicely."MY REVIEW

"I made this for Christmas morning and it was a hit! The only thing I changed, instead of using just blueberries I bought the mixed frozen berries which were blackberries, strawberries and blueberries....wonderful! Everyone thought I slaved and slaved over this dish, it was impressive and easy to do."
