Brief introduction
Lying to the southwest of the city,Caishi Rock is regarded as the best of three rocks that project over the Yangtze River. Caishi was also a famous ancient battlefield where more than twenty battles had taken place in history owing to its strategic importance. In addition, it was a Buddhist Mecca in the past; For instance, Guangji Temple, which was established in West Han Dynasty, was a famous Buddhist temple in the south of the Yangtze River.
Because of its scenery, Li Bai, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty, had paid many a visit to the Caishi Rock and had written a great number of poems to describe its scenery. Later, Li Bai died and buried in Qingshan Mountain. To the memory of Li Bai, a building was constructed in Tang Dynasty. For thousands of years, many scholars and literati were attracted to visit the Caishi Rock and Li Bai's tomb.
Nowadays, Caishi Rock Scenic Resort is a national tourism spot, with a combination of natural and man-made scenery, owning the largest memorial hall in memory of Li Bai, in addition to the famous Sanyuan Cave, Santai Pavilion, Bamboo Building and the Lin Sanzhi Art Museum.
Caishi Rock Scenic Resort consists of Caishi Rock Area, Qingshan Mountain Area, Putang Area and the Hengshan Hill Area.
Santai Pavilion
Santai Pavilion is a well-known pavilion of long history along the Yangtze River. It was founded firstly in Ming Dynasty, destroyed in war fire later and restored in the later twentieth century. The new five-story pavilion is about 30 meters high with imposing manner. Standing at the pavilion, one can have a wonderful different view in all directions. It has become a shining point in the Caishi Rock Scenic Resort, and even in the whole city.
Sanyuan Cave
Sanyuan Cave is also known as Sanguan Cave, which is the largest one among five natural caves in Caishi Rock. The cave has always been one famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. According to historical records, a monk named Dingru in Qing Dynasty, who had been roaming about for a long time, decided to settle in the cave while seeing the tranquil surroundings and beautiful scenery. He headed a group of monks; they began to worship the gods of Heaven, Earth and Water in the cave, therefore the cave got its current name. Another saying goes like this: three scholars, who traveled by a boat, received heavy rains on their way to attend a unified examination for promotion in the capital. Despite in great danger, they managed to get out of the jaws of danger under the protection of god. Later all the three scholars succeeded in an imperial examination, and were appointed chief officials. In order to requite god's favor, the three scholars made donations for the establishment of a building near the cave which was renamed Sanguan Cave.
Taibai Building
Being one kilometer away from the ancient Caishi town, Taibai Building faces the Yangtze River and backs on the Cuiluo Mountain. Surrounded by green trees, Taibai Building is a magnificent ancient building. Together with Yueyang Builing in Hunan Province, Huanghe Building in Hubei Province and Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi Province, they are called famous "Three Buildings and a Pavilion along the Yangtze River".
Taibai Building was formerly named Dixian Building. According to old records, it was built firstly in Tang Dynasty(806~820). Another records said that it was built in Ming Dynasty and restored in Qing Dynasty and renamed "Taibai Building". Later it was destroyed in a war fire. After liberation, it was reconstructed and was listed as a key provincial relic in Anhui province.
Taibai Building is 18 meters high, 34 meters long and 17 meters wide. The first floor is a hall constructed by stone, the second a room while the third an attic. The second and the third floors are made of wood. There are front yard and back yard. In the back yard stands the Taibai Temple. The gateway to the Taibai building is inscribed with golden words Libai Temple, and an inscription board is also hung in the third floor. On both sides of the entrance sit two stone lions. The corridor inside the yard is inscribed with a brief account of Libai's life and record of restoration of the building. Standing on the third floor, one can look far into the distance, from where the Yangtze River looks like a white belt dotted with many boats and ships.

Getting Groovy...
6 comments:
Love this open and honest post. Take care - sometimes you can be prone to feeling worse for a bit after a crisis disappears. Always here for you as a fellow Groovy Mum. Love the idea of burning your apron. There are some good photo linky things around you could join in with to show off your efforts. Dog-walking has to be a good thing in terms of time for you, fresh air, time to contemplate and meeting people too. Have a fabulous week and thanks so much for taking part.ReplyDelete
I did a photography course at a local university a while back and they were running some sort of scheme for people returning to education, so I was able to get the course for free. I thoroughly enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
Getting fresh air is also a great shout. I need to get outside more often - I just wish it wasn't raining so much.
I fell into the trap of trying to do it all, but it's just not possible. Definitely make sure you put aside some time for yourself...it's so important.
I love this post - and your sense of humour. Good luck with the dog walking and photography this week. And I quite agree with you - being a mother doesn't mean being a maid to everyone. All hands to the deck!ReplyDelete
I totally feel for you in regards to anxiety. I'm fighting my own battle at the moment too and it's tough. Obviously have very different types of it but it's horrible no matter what. I'm so pleased to hear of all the good things that have happened already this year. I hope you get that groove back! The routines will be ace if you stick to them, will do it myself i think! xxReplyDelete
Lovely post. It is really easy to fall in to the trap of being everything to everyone but great that you've decided to say no more! (I'm a little envious can you tell?) Your goals for this week are good ones too - looking forward to seeing your photos next week!ReplyDelete
This is just the information I am finding everywhere. Thanks for your blog, I just subscribe your blog. This is a nice blog.ReplyDelete

The website-management software developed by the company is freely available under the Apache License, version 2.0. Other software development efforts are also made available under a free license. Vixu.com also requires a free, open source license from any third-party software that is used to provide the service. Otherwise the software wouldn't truly be open.
What is free, open source software?
Free software and open source have slightly different definitions, but both apply to the website-management software developed by Vixu.com. In essence it is all about freedom. The freedom to be able to study the source code of an application, but also the freedom to make changes and freely distribute those as well as the original program. This isn't only important for programmers. Regular users enjoy the same freedoms and even if they don't program themselves, they can hire programmers to make changes for them without having to ask for permission from the original author of the application.
Why does 'free, open source software' matter to me as a customer?
Vendor lock-in, which means that switching to another provider is prohibitively expensive or would mean losing your data in the process, is a real problem with proprietary software. This is true for traditional software, but when your data is "in the cloud" data portability is an additional concern. For mission-critical systems like the company website this simply isn't acceptable. You need to be able to move everything, without having to worry about licenses or data portability. Providing first-class support and maintaining customer satisfaction are real priorities at Vixu.com. With a free license, customers stick with the company because they're happy with the service, not because it is too much of a hassle to switch to another provider or even manage everything in-house. Vixu.com succeeds by consistently adding value, while the customer is in control.
How does Vixu.com make money if the software is free?
Free software is about freedom, not about price. Professional users still need hosting, support and maintenance contracts. Vixu.com provides these services for a fee, even if the source code of the software itself is freely available. This means that users keep their freedom, while Vixu.com has a sustainable revenue stream that will allow the company to stick around in the long term.

Smock, a Ralphs Cheese Specialist and resident of Long Beach, is part of an elite group of 187 individuals from 51 different companies who passed the 4th annual ACS Certified Cheese Professional® Exam. The exam was held on July 29 in Providence, Rhode Island.
Smock is the first Ralphs associate to earn the ASC's Certified Cheese Professional designation.
The ACS Certified Cheese Professional Exam is the first and only exam of its kind. It was established by the American Cheese Society to promote the large and comprehensive world of cheeses and encourage food industry professionals to master the knowledge.
"We are proud of Nicki for dedicating herself to her craft and sharing her passion for cheese with our customers," said Donna Giordano, President of Ralphs. "Her designation as a Certified Cheese Professional™ is an inspiration to Ralphs' cheese masters who take pride in delighting their customers."
Passing the American Cheese Society's CCP exam is no small feat. Before being allowed to sit for the exam, cheese people must have 4,000 hours of work and/or formal education in the cheese-field under their belt.
"It's a great honor to be the first Ralphs associate to complete the exam and become a Certified Cheese Professional," said Smock. "I look forward to using my certification, knowledge and experience to train our Ralphs cheese masters to better serve our customers."
As a Ralphs Cheese Specialist, Smock is responsible for the overseeing the operation of the 22 Murray's Cheese Shops that are located inside Ralphs stores. Smock managed Ralphs' first Murray's Cheese Shop, which opened inside its Marina Pacifica store in Long Beach in 2013. She joined Ralphs in 2006 as a Deli Department Clerk.
In recognition of becoming a Certified Cheese Professional, Smock will receive an official lapel pin, embroidered patch, certificate and the right to use the title ACS Certified Cheese Professional™. As an ACS Certified Cheese Professional, Smock will be required to demonstrate continued active participation within the cheese industry and continued professional development to maintain this credential, and will be required to recertify every three years.

Aran knitting is well known for its wealth of intricate stitches and symbolism. In this cozy, wool throw, the diamond stitch represents prosperity, the honeycomb stitch represents the hard work of the honeybee and the rewards of an industrious life, and the cable stitch stands in for the fishing rope that was so essential to livelihood on the Aran Islands. Knit from 100% merino wool.
Knit in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland. 100% merino wool. 42" x 60".
Hand-wash or dry clean.
The thick-knit, cream-colored sweater that we often associate with fishermen has its origins on the Aran Islands at the mouth of Galway Bay in western Ireland. Enterprising women on the islands began knitting the sweaters in the early 1900s, using untreated, lanolin-rich wool. The goal was not only to provide a heavy and water-resistant garment to keep their families warm in Galway Bay's rough weather, but also to supplement the island's fishing economy by making a craft that could be sold year-round and utilized traditional skills and patterns. Journalist and Irish culture activist Pádraig Augustine Ó Síocháin helped make the Aran sweaters especially popular in the mid-20th century by organizing the export of hand-knit sweaters to other countries.
There is a myth that families each have their own patters of stitches, and that a drowned fisherman could be recognized by the designs on his sweater, much like a Scottish clan tartan. While it's true that certain stitches have come to take on symbolic meanings, the diversity of patterns is more accurately attributed to the creative group of artisans who started making the sweaters. Always eager to show off new ideas, creative knitters developed new patterns and taught them to their friends, who added their own twists and passed the pattern along again.
Today, folks on the islands and visitors from around the world often choose sweaters based on the symbolism that the different intricate stitches have taken on. Just some of the patterns found include:

ADT protects you from the dangers that can be seen, like burglars, predators, and fires, but what about the dangers that can't be seen, smelled, or tasted? Poisonous carbon monoxide gas fits under all of these categories, and it causes hundreds of deaths annually, on top of the tens of thousands of hospitalizations. In the U.S. alone, carbon monoxide poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths. Advanced ADT monitored home security systems in Kodak are also capable of detecting this "silent killer".
For those who have ever returned from your relaxing family vacation to discover that your Kodak home has been robbed, then you know how all of that comfort and relaxation can quickly disintegrate into confusion, anxiety, and feelings of vulnerability. Whether it's a family treasure handed down from generation to generation, or the most recent home entertainment device, it's a horrible feeling to discover that your valuables have ended up in the hands of thieves. An ADT Monitored Home Security System in Tennessee will help give you the comfort in knowing that you'll return from your vacations with all of your possessions intact.
When choosing a security system in Kodak, TN, the last thing you want is a system that is so complicated to operate that you simply don't use it at all. Although using the ADT Monitored Home Security System is as simple as pressing a couple of buttons, you will still receive the benefits of advanced home security technology.
But imagine your Kodak home is never robbed and for whatever reason you decide that you're dissatisfied with your ADT Monitored Home Security System. In these rare cases, you are covered by ADT's Money-Back Service Guarantee. ADT will make attempts to resolve any of your concerns, but if you still decide that you would like to switch companies ADT will refund any installation and monthly monitoring charges for up to 6 months after we install your security system.
Get an ADT monitored security system in Kodak TN and help protect your family today.

Fellow Climbers, it falls in to our hands protect our own. Not only do we keep them safe by holding the end of a rope, but also in protecting that which we hold so dear, our rocks. As of a few days ago, Yosemite National Park proposed a new management plan. Brady Robinson, the Executive Director of the Access Fund, had this to say:
We need your help to influence the latest Merced River Plan, which could restrict climbing access and camping in Yosemite Valley, depending on how the Park prepares its new revised user capacity program. At issue is access to iconic climbs including those found on The Rostrum, Cookie Cliff, and Middle Cathedral Rock (everything ¼ mile on either side of the river). This plan will also affect all travel through the management area to locations just outside the river corridor, which brings into play all climbing in Yosemite Valley including El Capitan and even Half Dome. Another consequence of this litigation is the increased likelihood that camping will become even more scarce while the number of lodging units remains largely unchanged.
Although this might seem like a half a world away from us stationed here in the Central Pennsylvania region, we have to remember that this is where it all started. Royal Robbins pioneered our sport on those very rocks in the 1970's. To help our brothers out, write to the Access Fund by February 4th. Thanks for the Support!

Mariachi music, colorful folk dances, fine handicrafts, rodeos and tequila-all that most people think of when they hear the word "Mexico"-originate in Jalisco, home to Puerto Vallarta and to its capital city, Guadalajara "The Pearl of the West". Founded in 1542, aglow with parks and flowers, rich in colonial heritage, and now home to more than 3 million inhabitants, Guadalajara enjoys an almost perfect climate. During the cooler hours of the morning or as the sun goes down, elegant horse-drawn carriages provide a delightful alternative to the usual buses and taxis as a fun way to see the city.The magnificent Plaza Tapatía-seven blocks of shops, museums and public buildings-combines new and colonial buildings in pleasing harmony among shady parks, gardens, charming fountains and sculptures.
Some of the most interesting architecture of the city is on this plaza, including the Cathedral, with several centuries of history expressed in its blend of architectural styles. The Governor's Palace is only one of several buildings with impressive wall paintings by the great Mexican muralist, Orozco; and the Regional Museum hosts the remains of a wooly mammoth along with many uniquely Mexican treasures. Also located in this cluster of historic buildings is the Degollado Theater with its exquisitely painted central dome.
The charreada (rodeo) gives handsome young cowboys and cowgirls a chance to demonstrate their skills in riding and roping; while some of the finest handicrafts in Mexico are on display in the neighboring towns of Tlaquepaque and Tonalá, where they are produced. Ceramics, blown glass and fine work in leather, silver and paper maché are always on exhibition in these two craft centers, and on Thursdays and Sundays an informal artisans' market lines the streets of Tonalá. Nearby Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico, is ringed with small towns, such as Chapala and Ajijic, now the adopted home of many artists and other foreigners who love the climate and the culture.
Location: about 280 miles east of PV.

The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in Russia during the last year of World War II (before Sarah Palin could see them from her house) in 1945.
It was developed to solve the challenge Russians faced when battling German troops who were shooting them with a weapon developed in Nazi Germany. This weapon, created specifically for war, was known as "the machine gun" aka the Sturmgewehr 44. The machine gun was developed when most combat was occurring within 400 meters of those they were trying to shoot. Some weapons shot too far, some not far enough. They solved this challenge by developing a select-fire intermediate powered rifle combining the firepower of a submachine gun with the accuracy and range of a rifle. Poof! Problem solved.
The Soviet Army, not to be outdone, designed the AK-46, and after official military trials, the design was tweaked and again presented to the Soviet Armed Forces for more trials. The AK-47 became the officially accepted weapon of the Soviet Armed Forces in 1949. This model was especially useful in the muddy, wet, cold conditions in Russia.
The original AK-47 was one of the first true "assault rifles" to be manufactured. Six decades later, it remains the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world. They are reportedly durable, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to use which is exactly why I have three of them. One for upstairs, one for downstairs, and one I keep tucked in both the underwear and the sports bra down the right side of my body (to avoid those awkward bulges). Driving is a simultaneous workout due to the supine plank position required to wear this trendy and popular 'Real B*tches wear guns in their britches' side holster placement. This holster is not intended for those with inadequate gluteal muscles.
In my neighborhood of Gilbert, Arizona suburban housewives may - at some time or another - need an AK-47 in their britches. What happens if, when on a trip to Target, a band of German soldiers appear (within 400 meters)? What if, when going to the grocery store, a herd of wild antelope stampede toward me (also within 400 meters)? In these tough times can we afford to turn down free antelope meat? What about the need for protecting our local crossing guard on the corner of Lakeside and Shoreline drive near the Val Vista Lakes community? She is a very friendly woman who waves at passers by all day. She definitely should be protected from armed soviet troops, and it has been cold and rainy in Gilbert lately. The AK-47 is an ideal choice for these dangerous situations in which my person, or the person of a loved one may potentially become infringed upon.
This time of year, many families are decorating their homes with wicker deer, blowup Santa decorations and plastic snowmen. Residents of the white-ish collar neighborhood certainly have a need for an AK-47 when protecting their christmas decorations from the nefarious neighborhood kids in their certified gangsta lowrider Beemers and Mercedes.
Thank goodness the United States Constitution affords citizens the right to own this handy dandy weapon.
Citizens should be grateful for the protections allowed by the Second Amendment - "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Citizens should also be grateful for the Fourth Amendment - "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
But… really? Should this weapon be what a suburban housewife whips out of her britches when she hears a noise at night? Should this weapon be sold on E-bay? Can't the restriction of the availability of *this* type of weapon (the assault rifle) co-exist with the second and fourth amendments of the U.S. Constitution? What if, my neighbor gets fed up with those nefarious neighborhood hoodlums and wants to "nuke" them? When is "over-kill" seen as… well… over-kill?

Before Shaquille O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat in 2004, the Los Angeles Lakers had made four NBA Finals appearances and won three titles with Shaq and Kobe Bryant leading the way. Unfortunately, the dynamic duo was broken up after Detroit Pistons in the 2004 NBA Finals, but Shaq believes the two superstars could've won a few more titles together according to Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report on Feb. 6:
Barkley is asking Shaq on @NBAonTNT how many total titles for Lakers if Kobe and Shaq stayed together beyond 2004. Shaq says five or six.
Apparently, Charles Barkley posed the question to Shaq following the games aired on NBA on TNT on Thursday night. Although there was a lot of tension between Kobe and Shaq during their time together in Los Angeles, the two future Hall of Famers no longer seem to hold a grudge against one another.
With Bryant in the twilight of his career and O'Neal still very much in the public eye due to weekly appearances on NBA on TNT, the debate will rage on about the how many titles these two could've won together in Los Angeles. Although Shaq went onto win another title with the Heat and Kobe won two more playing alongside Pau Gasol, many Lakers fans were disappointed the way things ended up with this dynamic duo breaking up much earlier than anticipated.
The real question moving forward is if Kobe can win another title with the Lakers before calling it a career. Obviously, the current season is lost in terms of contending, but the superstar guard may have another opportunity to win a sixth ring in the coming years if the Lakers can rebuild quickly.

A small woman with silver hair strode across the hangar. She wore a bright red shirt, white pants and a huge smile. Although she and I had only exchanged e-mails, I knew immediately I was looking at Betty Grace Grabb, the soon-to-be skydiver.
A parade of family and friends followed Grabb across the parking lot. They set up camp with chairs and coolers and prepared to watch their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother fulfill her one of dreams.
Whispers became accusations against state Sen. R.C. Soles Jr. during the past week.
Just as a state probe into allegations of sexual misconduct had time to pick up steam, Soles' accuser on Monday recanted his entire story, calling it a drug-induced falsehood pushed on him by a family member who was unhappy with the senator.

Who We Are
We are accomplished restaurant and design professionals dedicated to the art of modern provincial Chinese cuisine and to a harmonious blend that connects past to present. We reject easy definitions, and wholeheartedly embrace China's emerging international standing as a leader in innovation, design and hospitality. As a group, we seek to provide our guests with food, service and design experiences that are both accessible and adventurous. Our ultimate goal is to help create a world of peace and health, to connect people and to make our planet a better place to live.
Our Culinary Team
We are also culinary and cooking experts who consider modern provincial Chinese cuisine to be among life's highest callings. To feed our passion, we have formed close working relationships with top Chinese chefs, and culinary schools in the U.S. and China to allow us to stay abreast of Chinese food trends and attract the best and brightest culinary stars of the future.
Our Guests
Our Guests will come from all walks of life, and share our love for great food that is prepared and presented with passion. Our Guests are quality seekers who expect the best in freshness, authenticity, adventure, service and value. Each is a person with whom we will create a lifelong relationship grounded in a two-way dialogue about Chinese art, food, design and health. In the end, our Guests will become a part of our restaurant and the EAST 180 story itself.
Our Menu
Sorry, no fortune cookies, Chop Suey or General Tso's Chicken here. EAST 180 is not your ubiquitous American Chinese or "pan-Asian" restaurant. We'll offer a pan-Chinese experience grounded in and dedicated to showcasing the best in Chinese regional cuisine – not Chinese as it has been stereotyped, but how it is constantly evolving.
Our menu is based in Chinese provincial cooking traditions that appeal to our daily guest as well as those seeking bold new adventures in Chinese cuisine. EAST 180 lunch and dinner creations will emphasize fresh, seasonable and sustainable ingredients. Separate small-plates, Chinese grill, seafood and daily chef's tasting menus will feature healthy, innovative incarnations of existing Chinese preparations drawn from the eight main Chinese regional cuisines (often known as the Eight Great Traditions).
Wine, Beer & Cocktails
We are taking great care to integrate the emerging popularity of wine in China into the EAST 180 experience. We are working closely with California vintners and importers to pair a wide range of wines to our entrees to provide a more enriching taste, flavor and aroma experience. Our Guests will be able to select from more than 25 hand-selected labels we pour by the glass. Our bar offers an exciting selection of specialty cocktails, Chinese and domestic beers, and authentic Chinese rice wines.
Tea Service
The Chinese take tea very seriously. The art of tea drinking and production are woven into innumerable legends and countless traditions. EAST 180 is equally committed to integrated tea into the dining experience. Specific teas are being chosen to accompany our menu items – and even our teapots will reflect the type and origin of each variety.
The selection of the proper tea as Chinese art form is best captured in the following ancient poem:
From the Chinese Tea Classic Ch'a-su
Suitable moments for drinking tea:
- When we are interrupted while contemplating
- During a good conversation deep into the night
- When there is a light soft drizzle
- With agreeable friends and slim concubines
- When the children are at school
- In a bamboo grove on a spring evening
- Under unusual rocks
Unsuitable moments:
- At the theatre
- While opening letters
- When the children are not at school
- In torrential rain
To be avoided when drinking tea:
- Sullen servants
- Bad waters
- Money worries
- Large gatherings
To be avoided at all costs:
- Shrieking children
- Squabbling women
- Garrulous people
- Noisy streets
The EAST 180 E-Club
The EAST180 E-Club gives us the opportunity to create an ongoing dialogue with our Guests and learn more about their tastes, preferences and stories. As an E-Club member, you will be asked to provide input about your dining experiences and menu suggestions. But beyond that, the E-Club allows you to tell us how Chinese cooking, culture and lifestyle influence you and your world.
Membership does have its rewards. E-Club members will be the first to receive regular updates about what's new at EAST 180 as well as invites to our special events and celebrations. We'll also keep track of your important dates, anniversaries and food and beverage preferences so that we can help you celebrate with personalized service and complementary touches.
To join the EAST 180 E-Club, simply enter your email address into the space provided at the bottom of this page.

Thirty years after the approval on the 19th April 1980, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the CISG, has become the law of international sales. In the meantime 76 states have ratified the CISG which make up for more than two thirds of the global trade. Despite CISG's practical importance and its global reach the commentary literature on the CISG in English, the language of international trade, is rather limited. This book is intended to fill this gap and to supplement the few existing commentaries by a truly international work which takes into account the various legal settings in which the CISG is applied. The Commentary is designed as a German type of commentary which provides an authoritative "Article-by-Article" comment to the CISG. Its structure strictly follows the structure of the provisions of the Convention. Specific topics, e.g. E-Commerce and the CISG, comparative contract texts such as Unidroit Principles of International Commercial Contracts, European Principles of Contract Law and Draft Common Frame of Reference, are dealt with in the context of the comments of the pertinent articles. The Incoterms are also dealt with in detail. Contributors to this volume are: Professor Yesim M. Atamer, Istanbul, Turkey; Dr Ivo Bach, Mainz, Germany; Professor Gary Bell, Singapore; Professor Andrea Bj?rklund, Davis, USA; Dr Stavros Brekoulakis, London, United Kingdom; Professor Michael Bridge, London, United Kingdom; Dr Petra Butler, Wellington, New Zealand; Milena Djordjevic, Belgrade, Serbia; Professor Johan Erauw, Gent, Belgium; Professor Franco Ferrari, Verona, Italy; Professor John Y.

Sex-Scandal-Plagued Politicians Are Just Part of What Makes New York So Great, According to Governor Cuomo
"We tend to have the eccentric. We tend to have the entertaining."
The governor stayed on-message when asked about the reemergence of Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer during a CBS News interview focused on New York's tourism industry. "Everyone knows New York has great theater also, right? It is great theater. It's great political theater," he said. "It's part of the charm of New York. We tend to have the eccentric. We tend to have the entertaining." After all, there's no such thing as bad publicity — especially when it's not directly attached to your career. Only in New York, everybody!

NEW: Man Dies In Wreck
A Rockingham County man died this afternoon after his wife accidentally struck him with a van.
Emergency crews responded to Welch Lane, in the Grassy Creek Trailer Park, shortly after noon for the report of a single-vehicle wreck.
Sgt. Les Tyler of the Virginia State Police said Virginia Ann Knicely, 77, was backing her 2003 Ford Windstar minivan out of the driveway. Her husband, Ernest Knicely, 84, was outside the vehicle directing her.
Tyler said the passenger door was open on the van. As the van was backing up, the door struck the man, knocking him to the ground.
The man was taken by ambulance to Sentara RMH Medical Center about 2½ miles away with plans to fly him by medical helicopter to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. However, police say he died at Sentara RMH.

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SANDY — The elephant in the room at Thursday night's Republican neighborhood caucuses was the specter of an alternative process for candidates to qualify for the primary ballot.
This was the last time — barring legal challenge or legislative change — that the caucus-convention system will be the sole means for candidates to get on the primary ballot in Utah.
Starting in 2016, candidates can bypass party caucuses and get on the primary ballot if they gather enough signatures. However, the traditional caucus system will remain in place.
Sandy resident Jacques Koncurat said he regularly attends his neighborhood caucus meetings because "I don't think it's enough to vote in the primary not knowing really what's going on. We're here to inform ourselves, and it's the best way. It's more grass roots."
Koncurat was among several hundred caucusgoers who packed the commons area of Alta High School to begin the process of selecting candidates for the primary election in June.
He said he prefers the traditional system because it encourages widespread involvement in the political process. Attendees talked politics and elected county and state convention delegates.
"I think the caucus system is a good way to do it. Otherwise, you've got a lot of people who really don't know anything other than they've got money and they're able to spend a lot of it on advertising," Koncurat said.
Jannifer Young, a middle school teacher from Sandy, said she has mixed feelings about the Count My Vote effort and the compromise struck under SB54, which establishes the dual track to primary elections starting in 2016. It also allows unaffiliated voters into Republican primaries, which have only been open to registered party members.
"I feel like with the caucus system, there are a few people speaking for a large number of people, and they may not speak for everyone," she said.
Young said she signed the Count My Vote petition mainly because of her belief that "just because it's done this way doesn't mean it should always be done this way."
In Syracuse, married couple Michael and Jamie Johnson got their five children settled in for the night so they could attend their neighborhood GOP caucus at Syracuse High School.
"(We're concerned about) being able to hold our elected officials accountable and then being able to stand up for traditional family values," Michael Johnson said. "That's what we're looking for."
Johnson said he worries changes to the caucus system could give an advantage to candidates with better financial backing, and he hopes voters will continue to attend caucus meetings after the new law goes into effect. Johnson said he believes participation in his precinct has increased in recent years.
Jamie Johnson said she believes the caucus meeting gives her a voice. She hopes local party leadership and candidates will do more to familiarize voters with the people on the ballots "so that you can know before you come who you're voting for and what they stand for," she said.
Paul Bissell, who has served in numerous positions in his Clearfield precinct for more than two decades, said he looks forward to the caucus, though this year he was dismayed to see half as many participants in his precinct as compared with last year.
"I just have to wait and see who shows up," he said, standing in front of the registration table. Bissell sported a belt buckle declaring him a "proud American veteran," one of the many reasons he says he participates in the caucus system.

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a multifunctional secreted glycoprotein that displays broad anti-tumor activity based on dual targeting of the tumor microenvironment (anti-angiogenic action) and the tumor cells (direct anti-tumor action). Here, we show that PEDF expression is high in melanocytes, but it is lost during malignant progression of human melanoma. Using a high-throughput analysis of the data from microarray studies of molecular profiling of human melanoma, we found that PEDF expression is lost in highly invasive melanomas. In paired cell lines established from the same lesion but representing the high and low extremes of malignant potential, abundant PEDF expression was restricted to the poorly aggressive counterparts. We used RNA interference to directly address the functional consequences of PEDF silencing. PEDF knockdown in poorly aggressive melanoma cell lines augmented migration, invasion and vasculogenic mimicry, which translated into an increased in vivo metastatic potential. PEDF interference also significantly enhanced the migratory and invasive capability of normal melanocytes and moderately increased their proliferative potential. Our results show that loss of PEDF enables melanoma cells to acquire an invasive phenotype and, therefore, modulation of this multifunctional factor could be critical for the malignant progression of human melanoma.

If we were to compile a pound for pound list on sheer talent alone, Jorge Linares would probably feature somewhere around the top as a result of his smorgasbord of just about every positive boxing attribute imaginable - decent height, reach, handspeed, footspeed, hand/eye co-ordination and power. Linares was once thought of as one of boxing's hottest prospects, but now, after his second round knockout defeat courtesy of Sergio Thompson - his second technical knockout loss in a row - it seems Jorge Linares is now destined to join boxing's "what could have been?" list.
So how does a fighter, who is blessed with all the talent in the world, suffer consecutive TKO losses at the hands of far less talented fighters?
Linares' promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, believed he has the answer when he took to Twitter after the bout.
"Linares needs a new trainer. He has so much natural ability but has no defense. Jorge needs a new trainer, someone that is going to pay attention and teach him defense! Freddie Roach was just too busy and I was told he didn't train him for this one. If you do not get hit, you do not get knocked out. If Linares had defense, he would be untouchable. If I had no chin I would do everything in my power to learn the craft of defense."
De La Hoya does make an interesting point. While I wouldn't go as far as Oscar in saying that Freddie can't teach defense, I would say that there seems to be certain defensive areas that Roach has missed in the tutelage of his fighters.
Looking at Linares, Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao, we can see a fighters who ARE defensively responsible when attacking. A fighter is at his most vulnerable at the time of his attack, so by being overly aggressive, a fighter may be caught off balance and find it difficult to transition back to defense. This is where Roach has done a terrific job with Linares, Khan and Pacquiao; their balance issues have improved under the guidance of Freddie Roach.
Also evident in Roach's fighters is the ability to move away from danger after an attack, so as to reduce the risk of a counter attack. In other words, Roach has taught his fighters how to maintain defensive concern after the completion of their attack. Roach has embedded this into his fighters through an emphasis on great footwork. If you look at Pacquiao, his ability to move off after an attack is his main form of defense. It's the same with Khan and it's the same with Linares.
Defense is not only used when under pressure from an opponent. It is also used when a fighter is on the attack. This is the area in which Roach clearly excels. On the other hand, there does appear to be an area in which Roach seems to have either neglected, or has a distinct lack of understanding of: defending on the inside.
Yes, Roach has worked with some great defensive fighters in the past. Marlon Starling and James Toney were indeed defensive specialists. But Toney was already well schooled under Bill Miller and Starling, a naturally gifted counterpuncher, didn't need any defensive refinement.
Even fighters who operate at a distance have to posses some understanding on how to defend in close, Muhammad Ali and Wladimir Klitschko being prime examples. At their best, they are keeping the fight at arms length, either on the end of a jab or a straight right hand. Their objective? To prevent their opponents from breeching their optimum fighting space. That's why we have never seen them mount much in the way of offense on the inside. However, one of the reasons that Ali and Wladimir were able to dominate is because of their ability to prevent an inside fight from occurring by tying up on the inside and locking their opponent's arms up. From a defensive standpoint, they had knowledge on inside fighting.
I believe this knowledge is missing in Jorge Linares', Amir Khan's and quite possibly Manny Pacquiao's work as a direct result of the type of fighter Freddie Roach was... an offensive blood and guts trader who sometimes took five to land his one. If we focus on Khan and Linares in particular, they don't seem to know how to react when confronted with severe pressure.
So how does a fighter defend in close?
The best defensive fighters have a good variety of defenses against every punch available. They are able to mantain relaxation amid heavy fire. If a fighter is putting severe pressure on them, panic is no option. They stay calm and allow their defensive skills to take over, slipping, rolling, elbow blocking, half arm covering, hip rotation and the ability to tie up. I've never seen Linares and Khan display any of these defensive attributes.
A trainer like Freddie Roach likely never had much use for these techniques as a fighter because his entire emphasis was on attack. This could be the reason why Roach was never considered a great fighter. There always comes a time when offense is not always enough.
If we take a look back throughout history, more often than not, the defender has gotten the better of the attacker; James Corbett got the better of John L Sullivan, Gene Tunney got the better of Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson got the better of Jim Jefferies. The modern era is no different. The ability to defend, and in particular the ability to defend in close, cannot be overlooked.
Telling times lie ahead.
The next couple of months could prove to be very detrimental for Freddie Roach. He has two fights coming up, against two proven inside fighters, against his two prized assets - Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao. During their first bout, Amir Khan's lack of an inside game was brought into light from the third round onwards as his opponent, Lamont Peterson - who normally operates as a boxer - took on the persona of the brawler and swarmed all over Khan, throwing nothing but power shots in close. As was evident during his win over Marcos Maidana, Khan had no answer to Peterson's severe pressure. Khan's only response was to push his opponent off which eventually led to a two point reduction against him. If there have not been any improvements made to Khan's inside game, then it is not hard to imagine Peterson utilising the same strategy that won him the fight last time out.
While Freddie Roach deserves an awful lot of credit with regards to his transformation of Manny Pacquiao's offense-- namely his two handed attack and balance issues--is there any evidence of him improving Pacquiao defensively on the inside?
Against Antonio Margarito, a slow plodding fighter, Manny found himself on the ropes on more than one occasion. If we take a look at those instances when Pacquiao's back was up against the ropes, his only answer for defense was more offense. There were also occasions early in the Miguel Cotto fight when Pacquiao's back was against the ropes. Pacquiao's response to his opponents offense in that fight was to cover up and wait for Miguel to stop throwing. It is no coincidence that between rounds during most of Manny Pacquiao's fights, you will hear Freddie Roach tell him to keep off the ropes. Apart from those two occasions that I've mentioned, Pacquiao's offense has been so overwhelming of late, and his footwork has been so good, that we have not seen him forced into an inside fight. While he is considered the underdog, Timothy Bradley's footspeed, stamina and inside game could provide the perfect foil for Pacquiao's offensive. If Pacquiao is forced into an inside fight, I'm not sure I can envision him competing with Bradley in close.
These next two fight's could be THE defining fights of Freddie Roach's illustrious training career. A win in both of them for Khan and Pacquiao, and the two Linares defeats will merely be deemed as unfulfilled potential in a promising young fighter. However, unless there have been significant steps taken with regards to improving his fighters' inside knowledge and ability, we could be in for two of the biggest back to back upsets in recent memory. Suddenly, Freddie Roach, who is considered by many as the finest trainer in the sport, would be faced with the ominous notion that a gaping hole in his tutelage may have resulted in the demise of his two star pupils, culminating in three high profile defeats in a row as a result of his neglect on the inside nuances of boxing.
I think the title of this copy is off. Freddie's whup-a$$es lack inside meanness, roughhousing and dirty-mean fighting PERIOD! They are so use to being able to cleanly, comfortably and fairly whup arses from the outside and clinching and pushing off in the inside. But there will be days that fighters won't let you do that, i.e., Peterson-Khan Bout. And days that you will have a bias referee letting your opponent get away with dirty fighting you, while warning harassing you for all type of imaginary violations. So you just need to be prepared to fight dirt with dirt. Andre "SOG" Ward is an archmaster of that play.
The no joke Coach Roach's pugiists need to let go of the punked-out clean, fair fighting and get straight NASTY and naughty! Blood demands blood. [Yall saw -- back in da day -- what the GOAT Ali did to Big Chucky Werpner when the referee wouldn't warn Werpner for rabbit punching the GOAT behind the cranium.] Holla!
Interesting points about Manny's lack of an inside game...things could get real interesting if his legs begin to cramp again and is forced to fight inside or along the ropes.
I said a long time ago Pac had no skills on the inside now people are starting to notice I was right.
Everybodee and dey momma know what you say about Da Manny all the time, SCLA Ali! You are the typical hater. I once thought that you have a toady personality, but NOPE! You are straight-up parasitic and chameleonic with yo' Ebonican and Urbanites. [It is all GOOD! That is your choice and to each his own poison.] That is the way that a weakling survive da hood. You latch on and/or blend in with the Boys in the Hood baddest haters, so they will never do the do on you. I ain't hatin!' Yo do what you do... "TO SURVIVE...DA GHETTOOOOO!"
Money May doesn't have an inside game EITHER! Never has. He stays to the outside by elbowing upside da cranium, slap jabbing, Kangaroo hooking to the jaw, turning his back and dropping his head. Dude is optical illusionist superstar on those who live by make-believe actuality and hardcore reality distortion. I'm straight-up with da moola maker.
He's told me a million time that he cannot stand _____ _____ _____ ____ ___ ___! And he just want them to put their pennies in his pot. You KNOOOOOOOW DAT! I see! I See! Money May is SMART about dip-sh*ttin his peeps! Holla!
History is full of Linares', where the parts and the sum simply didn't add up the way they should.
Now, fighters with a lack of inside game/defensive skills are all too common today. Come to think about Victor Ortiz v Berto - when hurt by Berto, Ortiz was all over the place, jumping and bouncing, hoping to avoid getting hit again. His hands? Down his waist. His head? There to be hit. Ortiz was, in this fight, the perfect example of a fighter of the new millennium - pretty exciting, all offense, and almost guaranteeing knockdowns one way or the other with the lack of defensive skills. Of course, the case was the same with Berto. The blame isn't all on the trainers. Todays market crave for blood and knockdowns - the MMA-generation of fans simply cannot appreciate old-school artists of the sweet science, and hence - if a boxer wants maximum exposure on TV and thus getting paid accordingly - everybody seeks to be that offensive minded, all-action knock-out-or-go-down-trying-kind of fighter.
But also...training a fighter, defense is the first, second and third issue. However, there comes a time when a trainer simply cannot resist the very nature of the fighter he is training. Some guys are simply born a certain style, with a certain attitude, and you better take that nature and mold it - do the best of it, like a swordsmith working with different kinds of raw material. Pacquiao, for sure, was and will always be to offensive, to energetic, to really have the patience to learn the defensive craft. I would even say it would be contra-productive to have tried to do it. A unique offensive-machine like that, should focus only on refining the obviously effective parts of his attack. Khan is a different story. Neither his offense or his skills as a outside-fighter are quite enough to neglect the inside/defensive tools - however, he may already have passed the critical point of age in his career where he really can pick this up. The golden age of usurping skills is short - which is wy the cuban amateur system focus so hard on boxers between 7-12. After that, from the late teens and on, it's just about sharpening the existing tools.
From a long post to a short conclusion: I give Roach thumbs up. He got his fighters at a certain age, he took a long good look at them, he sensed their nature and the depth and variety of their abilities, and he figured out what he could mould, what he could refine, what he could develope - and what he couldn't. That is also the sign of a great trainer - knowing when not trying to make their fighters into something they aren't and will never be.
Jack Johnson, GOAT Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Big [Rev.] George Foreman, Sonny "Night Train" Liston, Tommy Hearns, Pinklon Thomas, Money May, Terry Norris and I can name a whole ton more, were/are known for not having "no skill for the inside." Holla!
Ditto Dino da Vinci! Holla!
Oh BOy!!!! Now Lamont Peterson was fighting dirty..smh. Man you are full of excuses. Body work is dirty now huh....cut the jokes. This is pro boxing not the olympics, bodyshots count. Amir had all he could eat of that black top body work, good old rough house boxing game that's becoming a lost art but is still a beautiful thing in this Universe. All that pss psst psst, flash only get's you so far. Sooner or later you gon have to get nose to nose, toe to toe or do what we call clutch together, an if you aint got any pocket game I don't know what to tell you LOL. May the force be with you. Team Peterson!!!! Dueces
Hehehehehe! Both team will need the force, Real talk. And body snatching is no doubt a wonder craft, but the cranium to the mug is a nice, sweet trick of the trade. And you don't need to push down the noggin or hold it to stop that trick.
This time around, Team Khan has gotten some phat old school TOTT. And what LP did in the last bout, in this one, he will NOT! Da Great Khan is going to put it on him so badly that Lamont is going to look SHOT! Holla!
BTW, Real Talk, YUP! LP did indeed adroitly get on his inside dirty-fighting along with that slick, righteous body work. Inside dirty-fighting ain't bad. It is part of the profession, even in the amateurs. What ever trick of the trade that a pugilist gets away with counts. Only punks will meanlessly bytch about dirty syet. Not I! I simply stated a fact. And not in an adverse way. Once again, "Freddie Roach['s]" fighter lack dirt, because they have been too great in cleanly whuppin' arse.
Of course, LP landed tricky low blows in an artful way against Amir when the referee's vision was obstructed. The late, greats Smokin' Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey, Archie "The Old Mongoose" Moore, Floyd Patterson, "Homicide" Hank Armstrong and Jersey Joe Walcott were master at the trick of the trade of popping muthaboxers on the hip bones and thighs in ways that the referee could catch them. [The purpose is to slow down the movements of a "jiggy-wiggy, rollerskating, bouncing-around-the-square-jungle bytch" in the words of the oldtimers.]
Your homeboy LP got this trick of the trade down pack. So on your's truly, there is no reason to attack. I'm always calling a spade a spade. None of my spit is on the fly made. I'm from the old school, not a New-Jack fool. And Amir got the answer to beating LP in bout II. Holla!
I musta fo' got! The greatest dirty-inside fighter of our days is no doubt Old B-Hoppy! He is a triple master of gettin' away with da dirty-inside fighting ripple disaster. One thing that you may want note, Real Talk. In Sin City, mutha-officials can now use the instant replay jive, so this awesome trick -- dirty-inside fighting -- of the game is probably on the way out.
Danggit! Technology is fudging with a naturally crooked sport. It's all up in da game's grill and is about to make me go ape-syet, because of "I'm be missing" THE crooked-arse banana-ness of the whup-a$$.
My music idol, Tiny Tim is probably turning over in his grave. He's the cool cat who coined the phrase that boxing is crooked like a darn banana and composed and sang a latent song about it. The cat was a real fan.
WTF! "It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday...." Holla!
Triple O.G Mike Tyson had no inside game. Was that a typo?
Having inside fighting skills ain't all about offense. Being able ro make your opponent miss in the pocket is part of it too. It funny how people say Mayweather has a similar style to James Toney but he has no inside game when anybody with some boxing knowledge knows James Toney is a great inside fighter. Watch this fight with Cotto, Mayweather is not only going to beat Cotto on the out side but on the inside too.
SCLA, MT was not an inside fighter. Every time that he got inside, he'd get tied up, or he would extend his arms between the opponents' underarms. Go and take a serious peep at the Iron One for yourself. Teddy Atlas was known to criticize Mike for not doing jack when in the inside. Mike was known for knocking out fighters from the outside with a leaping-like hook and an overhand right, and occasionally a dangerous-thrown-from-the-outside uppercut. And Mike did have a great jab. He was much more like Big [Rev.] George Foreman and Sonny "Night Train" Liston than he was like inside-kick a$$ers Jack Dempsey, Carmen Basilio and "Homicide" Henry Armstrong.
Now, of course, some of the greatest inside-outside fighters of our time and all times are no doubt James Toney, Don Curry and Roberto Duran to name a few. But Money May is not one -- and I repeat is not -- an insider fighter. Learn boxing, SCLA Ali. The prime Money May was a Philly crab/shell fighter with good foot movement. And he was an out fighter with the slap jab, kangaroo hook and a razor-beam right cross. Now the old Money May is a stand-around Philly crab/shell fighter who occasionally come forward on bad legs and get on his whup-arse and, of course his bullsh*tology of optical illusions.
Don't get thing twisted, SCLA Ali because of your personality for great parasitism and chameleonism. Money May looked like syet against dumb-a$$ Victor Ortiz. Money May did look all that great against old-arse Sugar Shane Mosley. And Money May did look average in coming in overweight against Juan Manuel Marquez.
Money May is not going to do inside tangle with Cotto. And you can bet on that. If Money May does, expect the upset of the decade. Holla!
M..ike was a inside fighter that got tied up a lot...and he occasionally jumped in with left hooks and did damage but for the most part he used a jab to get on the inside...I never said Mayweather was a inside fighter I said he can fight on the side Pac can't at all im not hating triple O.G im just keeping it real...I thought u said it was a dumb *** ref now its Victor...mark my words Mayweather is going to fight Cotto on the inside at least half the time and beat him at what he does best.
They all can fight in the inside, SCLA Ali. But they are just so fast and talented that they don't need to. [As a light flyweight that is the only way that Da Manny fought. He is a serious arse thrasher inside if and when need to be. He will smash the hinny of Bradley with lots of inside swimming.]
I don't know what you are spittin' about in regards to Vicious Victor. He did a dumba$$ thing in butting Money May. The referee was a dumba$$ in not controlling the fighters, and not standing between them after he penalized dumba$$ Vic. What part of my spit, do you do not get? My mind is made up and quite clear. Thank you! Holla!
Victor's mostly to blame for that debaccle. Starts it off with an intentional headbutt then stands around as Pretty Boy Floyd starts teeing off on 'em. He looked like the half witted airhead chick not getting a joke. That or half stoned. He's the Jeff Spicoli of boxing.
Grim That was solid,......... Real Talk,... good to see you back in the mix again...
Like Grim said good trainers mold their fighters according their natural inclinations... Pac attacks,.. so does Amir,.. Roach has honed their offensive skills with enough defense to greatly reduce their probability of getting hit too much,... but not to the point where they look like a reincarnation of a skiddish Hector Camacho in his relay running prime..
Roach's guys love to be on offense,... and Roach taught them how to attack without putting their chins on the line. But the Key word is attack... from a distance. in and out... with good stamina and plenty of spring in their wheels....
a good combination of qualities to become a winner.
nothing fancy but good overall basics that makes these guys offensive engines.... sharks on dry land.
Roach has even taught Chavez to fight in close while pushing his oponents back so they can't T-Off on him with force. They built up his stamina to point where he's able to plod forward ..... crowding guys out,....... shutting them down offensively while he windmills with butter punches on the inside.
It masks Jr's deficiencie, minimizes the punishment he takes,... while optimizing his offense.
Guys like Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker aren't taught in a gym,... They Just "ARE". Some guys are driven to become the whole package....driven by ego and conciet... not only do they want to win but they want to be aesthetically pleasing doing it and they have the advanced motor skills and intelligence to execute.
There's no need to harp on Roach out of a twitch reaction originated by fickle fans...and malcontent observers....Roach has done the best he could with what he had to work with. (remember Michael Moorer)
Roach has had the recipe for victory about 75% percent of the time,... those aren't bad odds.
Although I feel his managerial, matchmaking, and weight stipulating skills are masterfully calculated, highly underrated... and 2nd to none.
I disagree! Everybody is taught in the gym or somewhere in life. They just become great at it. Indeed, they are no doubt driven by ego, but not conceit. Conceited suckas don't even make it out of the amateurs. I can start naming. Humbleness bring the greatest about this kick-arse sport. What a pugilist do to get those butts in those seats is not him personally. Holla!
thanks for the feedback RG, pretty decent comments.....
pride, self esteem, conciet, vanity, ambition,..... and the need for attention all share 98% of the same DNA,.. it's just the nuances that makes one quality positive and the other negative. But they're all necessary components for the real "showmen" of the ring. most of them have all the qualities.... and a fair measure of humility too....
All fighters have different styles - a good trainer should adapt and improve the fighter by strengthening weakness and further improving strengthens. Not every fighter is the same and should not be trained as a clone of someone else !
Do you Freddie roach's fighters lack defensive skills - although you can't argue with his successes - a lot of struggles and poor performances by his fighters come against fighters who work on the inside.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Latin is often referred to as a 'dead language', but in fact it is the origin of words in many languages still spoken today. This language was first written and spoken in ancient Rome, Italy. Today, it is still spoken in some religious sects and by clergy members, and is still used to originate many new words. Many classic pieces of literature were first written in Latin, and it is still taught in most high schools and college universities. There are three main old types of Latin: archaic, classical, and vulgar, which was often spoken by many of the great Romans including Plautus and Cicero. The Latin language continued to be used into the medieval and renaissance periods throughout Europe, and there is still a form of modern Latin utilized by the Catholic and Anglican Churches today. Latin is an intricate language and is an excellent way to understand how much of modern English was crafted. Everything from military and medical terminology to colleges still use Latin phrases in their slogans and as a tool for work, mostly for doctors. While Latin may be considered a dead language, there is no doubt it still continues to play an important role in language today.
