How often should I call my kids when they are visiting their Dad in another state for four weeks? I want to call every day, but he disagrees.
Of course you should call them everyday! Why does he get them for 4 weeks when you have a restraining order against? him?
Something doesn't sound right here.
Why does it matter what he thinks? I would call as often as you feel you need to!

You'd think it would be an easy decision, right? The guy coaches the worst NBA team in history, he's got to go, right?
Right... sort of. Paul Silas indeed won't return to the Charlotte Bobcats next season -- the Bobcats just finished signing their names to a 7-59 overall mark, with a winning percentage of .106 that ranks as the worst in NBA history.
And yet... this wasn't all Silas's fault. In fact, you could argue that most of it wasn't his fault. Silas got to take many of the lumps as the Bobcats tore down the Bobcats' playoff roster of 2010 piece by piece. Stephen Jackson, Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton, Tyson Chandler? Gone, gone, gone and gone.
Silas, 68, ended up this season with a team that was supposed to have an 18-20 point scorer in Corey Maggette who ended up missing half the season with injury and an otherwise young team that was hopelessly outmanned (especially inside) during most games. If Red Auerbach or Phil Jackson, they would still have lost and lost and lost. Not quite as much -- but they still would have been well out of the playoffs.
Of course, the team's youth and injuries don't mean that Silas has an excuse for everything (nor would he want to make one). Bottom line: he couldn't stop the slide. The Bobcats lost their final 23 games -- that's absolutely stunning. Silas at one point put his hands on Tyrus Thomas in a locker-room altercation -- that absolutely shouldn't happen.
Silas is a great guy and an honest guy, and he deserved better. His players all liked him and I think they respected him. But that 7-59 belongs to him, too, and so I can understand why Michael Jordan did this (and I now doubt Jordan will hire Silas's son Stephen for the job, although Stephen is going to get an interview and deserves one).
I'm conflicted about the whole thing, really. Silas with a better roster can do so much better -- remember, he had some success with the Charlotte Hornets as head coach long ago. I'm glad he will end up doing something for the Bobcats in an as-yet-undetermined role.
But Jordan also isn't going to fire himself, and so Silas was the obvious choice to go (he didn't actually get "fired," his contract simply ran out and won't be renewed).
Silas is a good man. This is a bad outcome. And until the Bobcats dramatically improve the roster, it won't matter who comes next.
We're moving!

Artist Michael Myers was brought in by t-shirt team High Score Society to design a range of gear in which modern video game heroes were rendered in a stylised 16-bit-ish form. The results? Wonderful.
He did five designs in all, one each for BioShock, Gears of War, Killzone, Dead Space and Halo. You can check out all five in the gallery above, and if you like what you see, you can get the shirts here.
This isn't the first time we've featured Myers' work here on Kotaku; earlier in the year he did a great series of Star Wars pixel art that ticked both my "Star Wars" and "Swords & Sworcery" boxes.

No. 1 Marlins Advance to ODAC Championship
SALEM, Va. – No. 1 Virginia Wesleyan College advanced to the ODAC Softball Championship with a 4-0 victory over Randolph-Macon College on Saturday.
The game was scoreless until the fourth inning when the Marlins broke through for three runs. Three walks with one out loaded the bases for Jessica Lindsay. Randolph-Macon induced a ground ball to force the runner at home for the second out. Madison Glaubke walked to make the score 1-0. Kaylah Duplain followed with a single to left field to score Megan Meindl and Lindsay for the 3-0 lead.
Virginia Wesleyan added one more in the fifth when Blake Henderson singled home Kiersten Richardson with two outs.
Candace Whittemore (21-4) was saddled with the loss for Randolph-Macon (33-8), giving up four runs in five innings while walking six.
Hanna Hull (24-1) won her third game of the ODAC tournament, surrendering just two hits and one walk in six innings while striking out eight. Courtney Wright pitched a scoreless seventh inning.
Virginia Wesleyan (42-1) will play for the ODAC Championship Sunday at 1 p.m. against Emory & Henry College.

It is not simply Apple conserving you from getting the elements to repair your iPhone, although Brasch does level out that there's only one Apple retailer in all of Nebraska to go to for system repairs. Younger technology firms are much less worthwhile, have larger progress, larger value threat and are priced extra richly than the young non-tech companies. The Fourth Circuit, based in Virginia, and Ninth Circuit, based mostly in San Francisco, are hearing instances challenging the newest executive order banning immigrants and refugees from six Muslim majority countries from getting into the United States. Amazon warehouse employees, for example, have jobs not in contrast to those at extra traditional logistics firms and on the warehouses of older retailers, like Walmart.
Some assign these firms to the know-how analysts, some to the companies that these companies operate in (Tesla in autos, Netflix in leisure and Amazon in retail) and some create new sector groupings only for these grey space firms.
Whereas being in existence more than 25 years might sound unexceptional, on condition that there are manufacturing and consumer product corporations which were around a century or longer, tech firms age in dog years, because the life cycles are typically more intense and compressed.
Thalmic Labs is a Kitchener-based mostly tech company which is pioneering new and innovative ways of interacting with digital-enabled units. That definition now not works, as nearly each product we purchase (from appliances to vehicles) has a computerized component to it, and it has meant that deciding whether or not an organization is a tech firm is a judgment call. Previous know-how firms are extra worthwhile, have less high line growth and are priced more fairly than previous non-tech corporations.
It's true, again, that the anticipated development in earnings per share is increased at tech companies than non-tech firms, reflecting maybe an optimistic bias on the part of analysts in addition to more energetic share buyback applications at tech firms.

Much more than a mere 4,000 miles separates the two main characters in Eric Ting's tenderly-calibrated production of Amy Herzog's big-hearted look at grief and family, "4,000 Miles," which is playing at New Haven's Long Wharf Theatre through March 16.
Herzog should be familiar to New Haven theatergoers thanks to her deliciously mysterious character study of a tragically co-dependent couple spending their first semester in Paris, "Belleville," which enjoyed an exemplary production at the Yale Repertory Theatre several years back. She also authored "After the Revolution" which played at New York's Playwright's Horizons which includes several of the characters either in "4,000 Miles"or who maintain a significant off-stage presence. As these works demonstrated, Herzog is able to create enticing, but quirky characters who despite their insistence on withholding key pieces of information or functioning in a seemingly comfortable denial, come across as quite real and accessible to an audience.
In "4,000 Miles," Herzog focuses on feisty 91-year old Manhattan grandmother, Vera Joseph, a dedicated progressive from a family of lefties, and her lanky, hippie-ish grandson, Leo, who arrives unannounced in the middle of the night after a cross-country bike ride from Seattle. We eventually learn that his companion, Micha, died during the journey, but the exact circumstances and how Leo managed to cope remain revelations that will slowly come to light over the course of the play.
Although the granola-munching, outdoors loving Leo initially intends to stay only overnight, he finds an unexpected respite in his grandmother's apartment, filled with memories of his grandparents' political idealism, which establishes a bond between him and Vera, even as they cajole, argue, get on each other's nerves, and ultimately emotional sustenance to each other. As a result, Leo will be able to confront his feelings about the loss of his friend, while Vera will be able to put aside her loneliness and learn that she has something to offer to a new generation of progressive.
Ting has found a remarkable actress to inhabit the aging Vera in Zoaunne LeRoy, who winningly and unerringly captures the slowing movements, the babbling forgetfulness and heavy-laden sighs of a woman who has endured over eighty years absorbed in the political and intellectual drama of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. LeRoy is absolutely marvelous throughout, no less than when delivering a typically caustic comment that sends the audience into gales of laughter or quite seriously telling a hilariously absurd story from one of her early marriages. It's a thoroughly believable performance that anchors the play with assurance and insight.
Micah Stock plays grandson Leo as a hippy Peter Pan, both immature and naïve, adhering to a groundless optimism that after allowing him to drop out of college, enables him to wander aimlessly around the country, taking in the scenery, communing with nature, and blindly trusting the people he meets along the way, as long as they share his anti-capitalist, countercultural values. Stock imbues Leo with a selfish carelessness that prevents him from fully understanding the various consequences of his sometimes rash actions, which he believes fit the mold of an environmentally respectful free spirit, while simultaneously hinting at the young man's genuine desire to grapple with the issues that often keep him from connecting with others, particularly as his relationship with his grandmother grows. Stock manages to convey Leo's ingenuousness in using his grandmother's neediness as an explanation for why he remains in New York, while at the same time suggesting that this is something that Leo wants and needs to do nonetheless.
Leah Karpel and Teresa Avai Lim offer fine portrayals of three women in Leo's life, with Karpel ably expressing her character Bec's frustration and anger over her boyfriend Leo's withdrawal into himself after Micah's death and his ongoing lack of vision or ambition for his future. In a later scene, Karpel shows us what Bec is capable of feeling for Leo, once she can process her feelings more substantially. Lim offers a daffily comic portrait of a potential one night stand, whose history and ethnicity presents Leo with some rather unsettling reminders about some subconscious feelings about his adopted sister, and she later appears via "skype" on Vera's never-before-used computer as the sister Lily, who provides some welcome reassurance to her slightly younger brother.
The single set by Frank J. Alberino, representing the smallish, book-crammed apartment in which Vera and her late husband Joe had lived in for decades, is not only functional, but reflects the wear and tear expected from a place that has hosted political meetings as well as family gatherings over the years, and that remains virtually unchanged from the day that Joe passed away some 10-15 years ago. Matt Frey's lighting not only accommodates a sudden overnight thunderstorm, but creates the typical shadows and accents that occur when lights left on in one room subtly flow into an adjacent dark room. Ilona Somogyi has contributed costumes fit for an elderly home-based woman, a bedraggled young man, a feisty undergraduate, a bar-hopping woman looking for a good time, and a well-insulated bicyclist. I wish that Ting and sound designer Matt Tierney had incorporated more of the mood music that covers the darkened scene changes to a greater extent during the earlier scene changes. The music works to much better effect in the latter stages of the play, as it seems to mesh more with the emotional elements of the scenes.
Ting manages to maintain a gentle pace reflective of how the relationship will develop between the two main characters, but the 115 minute, intermissionless play never drags. Most of the key action takes place on a long sofa that faces the audience that becomes for Vera and Leo the place where they can come together and acknowledge their similarities and provide a necessary respite and refuge from their respective grief and fears.
Herzog has written a lovely, insightful play that is as funny as it is touching. She offers many unexpectedly clever moments, several resulting from Vera's inability to immediately locate her hearing aids as well as from her general irascibility. Herzog admits that Vera is inspired by her grandmother, who was indeed an unapologetic progressive, as were her parents, her grandfather and her extended family. She also in a way was inspired by an acquaintance who lost a young friend under equally tragic circumstances. In "4,000 Miles," she does their inspirations proud while entertaining and moving a theater full of strangers.

What Does Our Brain Do While We Sleep?
Anuya Waghmare
Mar 14, 2019
If you thought that our brain also sleeps when we are in deep slumber, think again. Though physically we are relaxed and at ease, there are a lot of things going on in our brain while we are asleep. Read here to know what our brain does while we sleep.
Did You Know?
Over a 24-hour period, our brain can process up to 70,000 thoughts, even when we sleep. A day comprises 86,400 seconds, which means a new thought is processed every 1.2 seconds! So, our brain never really stops working.
Sleep is a restorative function which helps relax and renew yourself. Sleep is essential for our good health and well-being. Hence, all our body processes are shut down so that we can enjoy a good night's sleep.
However, you will be surprised to know that our brain is very active during this time. As it turns out, the activity in the brain during this time is very important for our learning and cognitive abilities.
Dr. Frederick R. Carrick, DC, PhD, President of the American Chiropractic Association Council on Neurology has this to say...
"Sleep is one of the most important functions of the brain. Through it, our bodies recharge and renew for the next day's challenges. Sleep regulates your mood, is related to learning and memory, and is a key factor in your health, weight, and energy level."
So, what really happens in our brain when we are sleeping? We have tried to answer this question for you.
Sleep Helps Recollect Knowledge
According to a study by the University of Chicago, sleep helps the mind learn complex tasks. It helps recover any forgotten knowledge or skills that people thought they failed to remember during the day.
One more study found that people who thought that they had lost a skill and did not remember how to play a particular video game after 12 hours, were able to do so after a night's sleep. Thus, their abilities were restored after sleeping.
Sleeping fortifies knowledge that was lost during the day and protects it from losing it further. Thus, it plays an important role in learning new skills, strengthening them, and stabilizing memories so that these skills are etched in your memory forever.
Scientists believe that this process may also help when learning new languages or developing various tactics while playing games or consolidating.
Effects of Sleep on Memories
A recent study led by researchers at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Boston College offers new breakthroughs in the formation of emotional memories. It suggests that sleep helps in determining and sorting out things that we remember and forget.
According to these discoveries, during sleep, the brain selectively preserves and enhances those aspects of a memory which have a greater emotional value. At the same time, those which the brain considers as less valued or neutral are discarded.
For example, if someone is shown a scene with a damaged building or wrecked car, then the object which has more emotional value will be retained by the brain, as opposed to other things in the scene.
The brain helps restore, restructure, and organize our memories, which may be the reason why people come up with new ideas and different angles to a particular problem after a night's sleep.
Sleep Assists in Remembering the Order of Events
A study headed by Jan Born at the University of Lübeck has confirmed that long-term memories are also formed during sleep. It is clear now that sleep helps us remember the chronological order of particular events in our memories.
This is achieved by replaying the day's events and experiences during the night. Thus, the brain not only helps in fortifying memory, but also establishes the sequence of events in which we recall the memory.
Stages of Sleep and Dreams
There are two stages of sleep:
NREM (non-rapid eye movement)
REM (rapid eye movement).
Many changes occur during the NREM phase, wherein our body muscles relax and many other functions, like brain activity, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature of the body slow down as compared to the rate at which they occur when we are awake.
The REM stage is an active stage when each of these processes increase beyond the levels when we are awake. Blood flow to the brain increases, and sexual erections may occur. Eye movement is rapid, as if we are awake and watching a moving object. However, the limb muscles are paralyzed, which prevents us from reacting during this phase.
The REM stage is when most dreams occur and according to researchers, we spend about 2 hours every night dreaming. The dreams may be vague or vivid images where our brain processes and gathers information during this phase. This is where our brain tries to work on information and make connections, which may help gain insights or decipher the meaning of life.
This may be the reason why Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev reported to have formulated the periodic table in his sleep, and chemist Friedrich August Kekulé figured out the structure of the benzene ring, after dreaming about a snake that was biting his own tail.
Many things are still unclear about dreams as to why and how they occur, or their significance. However, studies have also demonstrated the harmful effects of sleep deprivation on our health.
Effects of Sleep Deprivation
▶ Research has shown that lack of sleep has detrimental effects on our overall cumulative ability. It affects attentiveness, concentration, thinking ability, and memory.
Sleep is necessary for the proper functioning of our nervous system. Continued sleep deprivation can produce mood swings and hallucinations.
▶ Some scientists also believe that neurons repair themselves and take rest when we sleep. Without sleep, the neurotransmitters and other products of the normal activities in these cells may take a toll and cause malfunctioning of these neurons.
▶ Sleep deprivation poses great risks to the normal well-being of a person. A Harvard study found that women who sleep for less than 7 hours were at a slightly higher risk of heart diseases and diabetes.
▶ According to a study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, in 2002, anger, dissatisfaction, irritability, crankiness, and many other negative emotions are higher in people who get less sleep. Sleep and mood are regulated by the same brain chemicals.
▶ According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driver fatigue, which mostly occurs due to sleep deprivation is the main reason behind an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths every year.
▶ Lack of sleep has an effect on our immune system, and people with chronic diseases may suffer from sleep-related disorders, like insomnia, sleep apnea, etc.
Thus, sleep is critical for our well-being and survival. Researchers say that sleep patterns greatly influence our activities. Brain imaging and other techniques have led them to understand many things about sleep and the overall working of the brain. However, we still have a long way to go to attain a thorough understanding of sleep, brain, and its working.

When men started shaving their chest hair, most women did not understand it.
When they started shaving it into bikini tops, women became even more perplexed.
Now a new trend is in town and it is called the 'Split-Shave' style.
Basically, this involves only shaving half of the chest and leaving out the other.
Just like when the 'bikini chest hair' trended some three or four years ago, nobody has a clear explanation why this style emerged.
One Twitter user we interviewed has this funny answer to give:
"I've dated women who liked and did not my chest hair," he said.
"Shaving this way will mean everyone is covered as I am currently single and looking for a girlfriend."
Ladies, what do you think?
Yay, or Nay?

Ive thought this through several times.
To me, unless you actually see the shooter at the very beginning of the event...well, Ill run down the outcomes as I see them.
You go looking for the shooter and:
Find them and engage them.
Are unable to find them and:
Engage the wrong personanother armed citizen going looking that you mistake for the shooter, plainclothes LE that you are unable to see a badge, etc.
Are engaged by others who think YOU are the shooter (see above, and add in uniformed LE).
In additionif LE has to engage you, thinking you are the shooter, whether you get shot or notyou are pulling resources away from responding to the actual shooter.
To me, the chances of a bad outcome, or one that makes things worse, are much higher than that of the outcome most folks think of.
Againif the situation unfolds in front of youdo what you gotta do.
But if you are going to rush inbe honest and realize the chances of you making things worse are likely higher than that of making things better.
My thoughts, after some serious consideration on the topic.

I started Pennylane Permanent Makeup under the name of Complexions Plus back in 1999 with a focus on aesthetics and skincare as a priority. Shortly thereafter the emphasis moved towards makeup artistry and I was busy working photo shoots and fashion shows. As time moved on, permanent makeup seemed like a natural choice: The foundation of colour theory, face shapes and women's wellness had been laid. All of these things and more proved to be major assets throughout my permanent makeup training.
The SofTap™ method is not readily available in Canada, but caught my eye as the best provider and educator on the market. So, off to the US I went for my training. In the end I was (and still am) so confident in the end results that I couldn't wait to shift the direction of my business.
For me it was a very personal and important decision to take my training one step further as well. I would focus on offering permanent makeup and medical cosmetic procedures. To me, every face and every story is special. It was a true calling to continue my training in an effort to master areola restoration. The journey has been incredible to say the least.
Of all the stories and emotions I've connected with over the years, there are always a few that stand out. I'm thrilled that each person is a walking billboard for the services I offer and I'm so fortunate: you all make it worth the while.

LOS ANGELES (May 1, 2017) Jump starting fight week on a high note, former WBC Middleweight Champion Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. (50-2-1, 32 KOs) hosted an international conference call ahead of his highly anticipated showdown against Canelo Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) this Saturday, May 6, presented live on HBO Pay-Per-View from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Chavez, Jr. was joined by his legendary father, Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr., trainer Guillermo "Memo" Heredia, and Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya as he discussed his training camp and his upcoming fight.
Here is what Chavez, Jr., Chavez, Sr., and De La Hoya had to say on their conference call:
OSCAR DE LA HOYA, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions: We are really excited to showcase two of the most popular fighters in the world today who will clash on Cinco de Mayo weekend, May 6. It will be an unforgettable event that people will really look forward to.
And the response has been amazing, not only with the sold-out arena but with having to open up six more properties with the closed-circuit TV in Las Vegas, the huge buzz around the fight. We know tickets are going incredibly well. This fight is on HBO Pay-Per-View, I want to thank HBO who is always fired up to work with. They are our broadcast partners here in this incredible event.
JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ, SR., Former three division, six-time World Champion: Hello, happy to be here.
DE LA HOYA: I want to take also this opportunity to thank Tecate, our sponsor, BORN BOLD. The commercials have been running everywhere and thanks to Tecate, the commercials with Sylvester Stallone and Canelo have done a tremendous job in promoting an incredible event. I want to thank O'Reilly Auto Parts, Adriana's Insurance and Interjet, for participating in this wonderful event.
And now the trainer, Angel "Memo" Heredia. From what I hear Chavez, Jr. is in incredible, incredible shape. We hear he's on weight already, a few pounds over, and it shouldn't be a big deal. The weight is no problem, and thanks to this man.
GUILLERMO "MEMO" HEREDIA, Trainer to Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.: Yes, I'm very honored and happy to be part of this great fight, and just excited. We're just waiting for the day to come, which is almost a few days, so we're ready and excited for this event.
OSCAR DE LA HOYA: Next up now, with boxing in his blood, former four-time WBC World Middleweight Champion. He's proven that he is worthy of carrying the legacy he inherited by his father, living legend and six-time world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr.
In his most recent performance, Chavez, Jr. met with highly-regarded Dominic Britsch, winning by a unanimous decision in Monterrey, Mexico in Nuevo Leon.
Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. will be putting his name and legacy on the line on May 6. And now let's hear from the man himself, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.
- Julio, curious about, we talked to Canelo and we talked about the magnitude of this fight within Mexican boxing communities, within all Mexicans of the culture, how big of a deal it is. I would like to hear your thoughts about how big you view it and if that has added anymore pressure because you are fighting another Mexican, and of course, wants to uphold the family name.
JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ, JR.: It's very, very important for both fighters. Yes, it's very important for him, but the fact that it's two Mexicans, I think that this is one of the most important fights in the history of Mexico.
- And why do you think that, and do you feel a pressure to uphold your family name as part of your role in trying to win the fight, because of course, knowing how famous and how many big fights your dad won.
CHAVEZ, JR.: I just feel, because it's a great event; it's a big event, with two great Mexican fighters, and I feel that it's my last opportunity, and I'm going to take advantage of it and do the best I can.
- You've been a world champion before and fought in some major fights in your career, but even though this isn't a world-title fight, is this to you the biggest fight of your career, and if so, why, if, in fact, it is.
CHAVEZ, JR.: Yes, I do feel that this fight is the biggest fight of my career, just because it's a big event, because of who I'm fighting and because of the opportunity. I'm going to take advantage of it and make the best of it.
- How much bad feeling is there between you and Canelo? What are your feelings towards him? This fight has been talked about for a long time, it's happening, and it seems to me you don't particularly like one another, but you can never quite tell. What's your feelings about Canelo and how much do you want to get in there and basically beat him up?
CHAVEZ, JR.: Yes, there's a real, true rivalry, and on Saturday night, people are going to see firsthand this rivalry, how real it is. Obviously we're going to show it inside the ring.
- Julio, I've seen video of you in this training camp, and you look to be in incredible shape. What are you doing differently now, that you were not willing to do over the past few years as your career went in the wrong direction?
CHAVEZ, JR.: The difference is I was listening to my corner, Mr. Beristain, he had me doing certain training and I did it. It was very difficult in the beginning getting used to this new regimen, but it's something that I did. I followed it and I think that's the difference in this fight.
- As you look back at the five years since you were in a fight that was this big, what do you think is the reason why your motivation soured for a while?
CHAVEZ, JR.: The difference is that I was younger, less experienced, and over the years, I've learned from those kind of mistakes and the inexperience that I had, and that's difference between then and this fight.
- When you watch Canelo's biggest fights, what are the main vulnerabilities in his game that stick out to you?
CHAVEZ, JR.: One of the advantages is that he's fought a lot of fighters, not always in their prime. Also, he's a smaller fighter. He's a good fighter but smaller for his division and I think that's an advantage that I have.
I want to congratulate my brother. I'm very happy for his victory against Alvarez family, I know it's difficult any time somebody loses, but it's a sport. With regards to that fight, it's totally separate from my fight. My fight is a different fight, different event, something that I have to focus on. But I congratulate my brother. I'm very happy for his victory.
I think that there's a lot of excitement. I'm very excited about this. I think the people are excited about this and I want to thank everybody for all the support, and I think that on May 6, we are going to put on a great fight and everybody is going to be able to enjoy it.
- How do you envision what's going to happen in this fight in six days? How do you feel about it, and also your weight?
CHAVEZ, JR.: I feel a lot better, you know, when I train hard and I'm focused, when I'm motivated as I am in this fight.
Also, with regards to the weight, I'm close to making weight already and I've done everything I've been asked to do with regards to my diet. It's not easy, but I know when I focus on my diet and when I focus on making weight, I can do it. I've done it before, and this is just one additional time I'm doing it.
- Memo, can you talk about the training since December and your last fight?
MEMO HEREDIA: Yes, we've been training for a while. The Monterrey fight was a good beginning, a smaller fight, and it wasn't as long a camp. This one was much better. It was a longer camp. I feel Julio is really strong, and always remember that Julio is a good fighter. He's a smart fighter. And with his preparation, I think the combination of things is going to make for a great fight from Julio.
- I know there's been a lot of discussion about whether you'll make the weight or how you're making the weight. I wanted to know, when it was being discussed, this fight, how confident were you that when you finally agreed to the 164.5, that you would be able to do it, or was there a little bit of, like I hope I can do this, I think I can do this, I'm going to work really hard to do this, but were there some anxious moments in there?
CHAVEZ, JR.: I always felt that 160 was a possible weight that I could make. When we were discussing this fight, I didn't think it was an obstacle, because I knew that if I want it and I worked hard enough, I could go to 160.
The only difference was it going to be a lot of work. I felt it was going to be a lot of work and it has been a lot of work. Therefore, 164.5, the weight that we agreed to, I never felt that it wasn't possible. It was just going to be a lot of work to get there.
- And even coming down a little bit from where you've had your most recent fights, do you think that the way that you win this fight is because you are a bigger guy than Canelo, you have a great chin, you always have, and you also have good punching power; and that if you take a good big guy and match him with a good guy that's smaller, a lot of times the guy that wins is the bigger man. Do you feel like your best asset is that you can go out there and just push him around, impose your will on him and break him down in that way?
CHAVEZ, JR.: Well, it has been said that in boxing that that's an important factor; that the weight and the bigger person is always going to have the advantage. That I think is true.
But I think with this fight, I'm just focusing on staying strong, making the weight the right way so that I'm in there and able to compete at that level. But I think really that this fight is going to come down to me being intelligent, me being smart, and I think that's going to be the difference, also.
- Do you think you can knock him out?
CHAVEZ, JR.: Yes, I feel I can. I feel that I'm a bigger guy. I fought at light heavyweight. He's never thought fighters this size, and because of that, if things pan out and I get the right shot, I think of course it can happen.
- I know your relationship with Canelo is not good. Is it because he feels that you have not — you have not had to work that hard because of your bloodlines, etc.? Is that why you think that he does not like you?
CHAVEZ, JR.: The answer is, I don't know specifically why he doesn't like me or this animosity exists. Maybe because I'm the son of Julio Cesar Chavez, I don't know. That could be one of the reasons.
You know, we don't always pick who we're going to, but I can tell you this: I am the son of a legend, but some of — all of my accomplishments have come from my work. I'm the one who wins these fights, and I think one of the reasons they picked me is because I put on good fights. And I'm the type of fighter that people want to see, and they know that this fight with me will generate bigger revenue, and that's another reason why this fight is happening.
- When you train, do you prefer to have your father around you, or does that sometimes put so much pressure on you? How do you feel about that?
CHAVEZ, JR.: I like my father to be around. It's okay when he's around. It's just important for him to understand that he's not my trainer. Sometimes we don't always transmit instructions the way we would like for them to come out, but I have my own trainer. I picked Nacho Beristain, who is a great trainer; one of the best in the history of boxing.
But I will say that a lot of what I learned in boxing, I learned it watching my father as a little kid. I grew up watching him my whole life, and I learned a lot of what I know from watching my father.
- What is it that motivates you the most to want to win this fight?
CHAVEZ, JR.: Everything. I want to prove to everybody that I still can be and fight at the very top levels. And also, I want to dedicate this fight, I want to do well and dedicate this fight to my daughters.
- Is this a great opportunity and could make you a star again, but what if you lost?
CHAVEZ, JR.: I don't plan on losing. It's not something I'm thinking about. This fight and boxing is not about luck. It's about hard work, and it's what you have in your heart. And if you work hard and your heart is in it, you'll have good results.
So no, it's not luck, I don't believe in luck, and I don't plan on losing. So there's nothing for me to discuss regarding that.
- What do you respect about Canelo?
CHAVEZ, JR.: He's a good fighter. He's had good fights. He's fought good people, not always in their prime, but they have been good fighters, and I have respect for anybody who jumps in the ring. Anybody who is willing to go in the ring and fight deserves my respect.
I have no fear of anything, and I don't fear my opponents. The only thing that I worry about is myself. I'm the only thing that I have to worry about.
- You talked a while ago about your pairing with Nacho Beristain for this training camp. What made you make the decision to go work with one of the most revered and respected trainers in boxing? Compared to the other trainers you've worked with over the course of your career that got you to obviously a very good record.
CHAVEZ, JR.: So why Nacho? The reason I chose Nacho is that I think he's a great Mexican trainer, and I think he has the correct character that matches with me. I saw something in him, some type of connection, that I felt would be very good for me.
It wasn't easy making adjustments. Like anytime you have a new trainer, it's a difficult transition sometimes. But I felt that throughout the camp, he taught me a lot of things, some things that I changed in my boxing, that I think are going to help me the day of the fight. That's the reason I chose him.
- We just had a spectacular worldwide fight viewed by millions halfway around the world, and the boxing community is still buzzing about it. Are you going to be able to build on that for your fight this weekend? Do you think that is a big advantage and plus for you this weekend?
CHAVEZ, JR.: This last fight this past weekend was exciting. It's always an exciting event whenever there's a heavyweight match up at this level, especially two guys who are action fighters and that's what we saw this past weekend.
And like everything in boxing, it's about the styles. Good styles create good fights and I think that's what happened in that fight. And I think that we're going to build upon that this Saturday, May 6. I think that my style with my opponent is a fight set up for that kind of event: Action fight with two styles that are going to be exciting for the people.
- Was there ever a time when things weren't going so well for you, maybe after the Fonfara fight that you ever thought about hanging it up, or did that never cross your mind?
CHAVEZ, JR.: It may have crossed my mind at some point, obviously after the Fonfara fight and the Reyes fight, those were two fights where I don't think that I had the same amount of passion that I needed to have.
But this fight is a lot different. This fight has created a lot of passion in me, a lot of enthusiasm, and I think that that's the difference in this. Excited about this fight, and I think that you're going to see a different Julio that's excited.
OSCAR DE LA HOYA: We will be sending out information for the coming days in Las Vegas, and we will see you May 6 in the much-anticipated Canelo Alvarez versus Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. fight. Thank you very much.

How to throw far…
…by using the wind assistance. Recently we published a post on our Facebook fanpage that picked up a significant amout of feedback. Because of the fact that many throwers have no idea why´s all the noise about wind, we decided to publish an article about scientific research and prove those by adding several examples. All you are about to read is proven through many decades.
How wind helps?
Based on "The Physics Of Sports" by Angelo Armenti Jr. ( Ed. ), chapter 8 "Fluids and Sports". Aerodynamic effects on discus flight ( by Cliff Frohlich ).
In it the author reviews the available literature on the physics of discus and analyzes its flight under the combined influence of gravity, aerodynamic drag and aerodynamic lift. He then calculates differences in the horizontal range of a well- thrown discus caused by changes in wind velocity, altitude, air temperature, gravity and release velocity.
As to relative magnitudes ( which means all the calculations are approximate ), Frohlich notes that:
a discus can travel: 1) 8.2 meters farther against a 10- m/s wind; 2) 0.13 m farther at 0°C than at +40°C; 3) 0.19 m farther with no wind at the elevation (geometric height from the sea level) of Rome than at the elevation of Mexico City; 4) 0.34 m farther at the equator than at the poles.
It´s remarkable for 2 reasons:
- The ironic state of affairs stems from the fact that, while aerodynamic drag¹ and aerodynamic lift² are both increased by the presence of a head wind, the increased aerodynamic lift more than makes up for the increased aerodynamic drag, threreby resulting in additional range, at least for head wind velocities of 20 m/ s or less.
¹ force that acts opposite to the direction of the movement of the discus, put your head out of a driving car and you can feel the drag
² the component of the aerodynamic forces acting on an airfoil that opposes gravity
Also, due to aerodynamic factors, the launch angle for maximum range for a discus is about 35° as compared to the familiar 45° for projectiles in a vacuum.
Frohlich notes that considering the importance of the aerodynamic forces affecting discus flight, it is surprising that record books make no distinctions between marks recorded in still air and wind-aided marks.
Effect of rotation of the discus
The most important effect of the discus rotation is to stabilize its orientation during flight. Upon release the discus rotates at ~ 7 rps. In the absence of applied torques the discus initial orientation is preserved throughout its flight.
At the moment of release, the discus thrower will usually attempt to orient the discus so as to maximize the lift forces and minimize the drag forces while the discus is travelling upward and outward.
Most investigators agree that the optimum strategy in still air is to release the discus so that its inclination angle alfa is about 5° to 10° less than the release angle R. Although this results in negative lift during the very beginning of the flight, it allows for a minimum drag and optimum average lift throughout the upward part of its flight.
In fact, the torques applied by aerodynamic forces during flight are not negligible, although they are quite small. If one carefully observes the orientation of a discus in flight, one notices that for a right- handed thrower the left side of the discus tilts ( rolls ) gradually downward about 10° during the latter portion of its flight. Why?
One effect of air on the discus is to create torques that change the orientation of the axis of rotation of the discus. For the discus tilted with front slightly upwards and moving to the right the largest torques are caused because the lift forces are larger on the forward half of the discus than the rear half. Thus the lift force acts at point A and creates a torque that causes the angular momentum vector to move in space. This causes the right edge of the discus to tilt slowly upwards during the flight.
Similarly, because of the discus rotation, the relative velocity is greater on the left side of the discus than the right, causing a net upwards force to act on the left side of the discus. This force creates a torque which causes the forward edge of the discus to tilt progressively upwards during flight.

Described by the WRU as "the best rugby venue in the world", it can be visited on a behind-the-scenes tour with one of our experienced tour guides that leaves you with a keen sense of the huge scale and national standing of this most impressive site.
Tours explore all levels of the stadium, from the Ray Gravell Press Room, deep in the bowels of the terraces, to the VIP Hospitality Suites overlooking the verdant turf below. You can discover the 2017 UEFA Champions League football dressing rooms and have plenty of great photo opportunities along the way, such as standing by your favourite team member's shirt or raising a trophy in a victorious pose in the President's Box, an area normally reserved for Royalty. For many, the highlights of the tour are visiting the atmospheric "Dragon's Lair", Wales' home dressing room and hearing the roar of 74,500 fans as they walk down the players tunnel towards the hallowed turf. The tour guides are knowledgeable and entertaining and even those visitors not passionate about sport will be caught up in the spirit of Welsh patriotism that the stadium evokes.
All tours start from the WRU Shop, Westgate Street opposite the NCP Car Park.

PORT ST. LUCIE — Nothing says spring training for the Mets like a good medical mystery.
The latest subject is Ike Davis, who is "likely" battling a form of Valley Fever, the team confirmed in a statement Saturday night. Davis, who played in yesterday's intrasquad scrimmage at Digital Domain Park, remains clear to continue playing, the Mets said, but will be monitored.
Valley Fever sidelined Diamondbacks outfielder Conor Jackson for most of the 2009 season, but Davis' potential case doesn't appear nearly as severe.
The Mets did not reveal the Valley Fever diagnosis last month when Davis was sent to New York for testing, after his spring training physical included an abnormal chest X-ray. Upon Davis' return to camp, the Mets only said Davis had a lung infection, and was clear for baseball activities.
"Ike is not contagious, is not taking any medication for his condition and does not currently exhibit any of the outward symptoms associated with Valley Fever," the Mets' statement said. "However, Ike has been instructed to avoid extreme fatigue. No additional tests or examinations are pending, but Ike will have a follow up exam when the team returns to NYC in early April."
But Davis had earlier told MLB.com that he was awaiting the results of additional tests and wasn't sure about his situation.
Valley Fever is prominent in the Southwest — Davis' offseason home is in the Phoenix area — and can be triggered if a person inhales a certain fungus. Symptoms of the ailment include headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, chills, cough and fever.
The Diamondbacks' Jackson was diagnosed with Valley Fever in May of 2009, and needed months to recover.
Earlier yesterday, manager Terry Collins said Davis probably has Valley Fever and will be monitored.
"We're treating [Davis] as if that's what it is," Collins told MLB.com. "We can't let him run down. That's what we've been told. We'll give him some days off. He says he can go, and he's been doing everything he's supposed to. But we need to be sure he doesn't push it."
Davis had better hope the Mets and their doctors are right in their decision to keep him active. The team has a checkered past when it comes to such decisions. Most notably, Ryan Church was allowed to fly cross country after sustaining a concussion in 2008, and Jose Reyes continued playing on a bad hamstring a year later and only worsened his condition.
It's just the latest potential bad luck for Davis, who missed most of last season with a bone bruise in his left ankle after colliding with David Wright on a routine pop up at Coors Field in May.
After toying with the idea of having September surgery, Davis let the ankle heal and recently said it hasn't been an issue this spring.
For the Mets, it's just the latest spring training uncertainty. Two years ago, Reyes' blood test indicated the shortstop had a thyroid condition. Reyes was sent home to rest, missed most of camp and opened the season on the disabled list.
Last year, Carlos Beltran reported to camp with questions about his surgically repaired right knee. After playing his first exhibition game, Beltran had soreness in the knee and was sidelined for most of spring training.
Johan Santana's surgically repaired left shoulder still rates as the Mets' biggest concern this camp, as the veteran lefty attempts a comeback after missing the entire 2011 season, but now Davis also must be monitored.
As a rookie in 2010, Davis batted .271 with 26 homers and 96 RBIs. He was on a tear last season — with 25 RBIs in the season's first six weeks — before sustaining the ankle injury.

I have written a lot about the kind humans at many animal rescue groups. There's the Homeless Animals Rescue Team, Forgotten Felines of Maine, Texoma Pets Alive, the Animal Alliance of New Jersey, Spots and Stripes Bengal Cat Rescue, and Tenth Life Cats, among others. And of course, as a diabetic cat, how could I not love the kind humans at Diabetic Cats in Need?
Many humans do not know what the humans at the rescue organizations like these go through. The wonderful humans at Michigan Cat Rescue, though, recently wrote a little about what it is all about.
You can find the post on their Facebook page. It starts off with the human who wrote it talking about how they are up past 1 AM Detroit time, posting on Facebook. And then, after the post, there's more work to do.
Michigan Cat Rescue has taken in seven kittens who all have an upper respiratory infection. So these kittens have to be medicated. I tolerate the ear sticks and insulin shots that a diabetic cat, just like a diabetic human, needs. But doing it seven times, even with cats who will tolerate the treatment, is not easy.
Tomorrow morning, they will take eight kittens in to the veterinarian to get physicals, fecal testing, and blood tests for FIV and feline leukemia.
Why do they do this? Because they love the cats they save so much. They're willing to give up a lot in order to help as many of my fellow felines as they can. There's never enough time to do the things that need to get done, so something has to give. Usually, that something is sleep.
If you ask anyone involved in rescue, though, it's all worth it. They give up a lot, but what they get is worth far more. They get to know that they helped save a life. They can't save them all, but for the cats they help, their efforts make all the difference.
It makes this diabetic cat very happy that there are humans who care enough to do this. If you're one of them, thank you. If you're not, would you consider becoming one?

Sandstone, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 2013
This was taken early on a January morning, during a cold snap perfectly timed to coincide with my visit to the canyon. Ironically enough, although I experienced cold temperatures growing up in Ohio, I've actually experienced the coldest and hottest temperatures in my life while living in Arizona. The coldest temperature was one of the mornings here at the canyon, up early for sunrise shots.

War Time Child in Cambridge
This is my aunts story ( Joan Punter, nee Toller )- as she wrote it- March 2005.
I was born in 1940 so war was a normal state of affairs for me and my sister. The family ( grannie, aunts, uncles and cousin ) all lived in Oxford Road Cambridge. My father was away fighting the war in France, in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Uncle Bill was in the Fire Service and Uncle George was in the R.A.F. so men in uniform was normal. Uncle Russ and Uncle Arthur worked away some of the time in munitions, so ours was a world of women.
We grew our own veg and salad, kept the allotment going to help Bill, with chickens and pigs to feed. We made our own clothes often and baked cakes and pies.
Nights were spent sleeping under the air-raid metal ) table, surrounded by wire mesh on a red cross blanket. We had an Anderson shelter in the garden, which was cosy but cold and damp. e also went in the cubord under the stairs when the siren went, and took it in turns to sit on the gas meter! Luckily for us the bombers which came over Cambridge usually headed up north to bomb our factories which made munitions, but I remember the sickening siren sound, followed by bombs exploding. My daddy was driving these baddies away, and he later told us how he came back from Dunkirk with bombs dropping all around and near their boat. He kept saying " Please God get me home to my wife and children."
I was five when it ended, and all I remember then was red, white and blue everywhere, street parties, and best of all a new baby brother! ( Sadly I had friends whose daddy never came home as ours did.)

A Garden of Memories by George Cruden
This was found in a note book in the spare room at 146, Campkin Road, Cambridge, after Auntie Marie's death (George & Marie Cruden were my great aunt and uncle- they lived at various addresses including Oxford Road, Cambridge and finally Campkin Road, Cambridge – George was my grannies brother [Connie Toller nee Broom]
A Garden of Memories by George Cruden
At the bottom of my garden are large trees; in my garden more trees, but these are fruit (the latter belonging to me, but not the former). Along this fringe of trees runs a stream, or ditch, which divided my bungalow from a cornfield at some time. Unfortunately the cornfield has gone, but we now have birds – birds of all kinds – birds which rob me of a good deal of fruit; in fact I never get a cherry from the cherry tree, which has thousands on it by early June. Alas, I have to be content with a pound of imported ones usually from the shop down the road. Realising after many years that it is necessary to compromise on some matters I have given in, but not without a certain amount of frustration, mark you; after all, does a bird really know what grows wild and what I cultivated? Perhaps they think we are robbing them of Nature's food. Every time I have killed one of these birds in the past I have been filled with remorse. The dawn chorus, which during May and June begins about three-thirty a.m. also needs some re-adjustment of life.
However, I love my garden, and to potter about in the shade of the fruit trees, for instance, one remembers. One remembers, but does not plan; pleasant memories come crowding in of those years that have gone, of those people one knew, the places visited. For most of us, fortunately, we remember the most pleasant things above all, the sunny days especially. Why is it that we seem to have had March all summer years ago? I have to search my depths to remember fog or snow; it was there, certainly.
Being a Londoner, and having been born at the turn of the century I certainly can remember fog – those cobblestone streets, the smell of leather, horses, stables and blacksmith's shops (I still love the smell of leather, of which we now see little.)

My Dearest & Best
Isn't it lovely to be able to walk & move about without feeling nipped up & numb with cold? It certainly has been a nice weekend, & it sure makes a difference to ones frame of mind. I have posted a letter to you yesterday telling you about the trek to a place called Beeston. am just having my afternoon cup- just ambling through today. No bosses about. I have not used half that lb sugar wich i brought back with me from my stock. I keep it in a cuboard just off the back of where I sit, & fill an envelope up to meet my immediate wnt. Does help a cup of tea down. Well, theres talk of rationing it still more, its going to be a bit of a 'do' & that together with less fats will certainly make us sit up & take notice. Try & eat everything you can- make a point of getting to your meals quicker so that you dont have to grab whats left. Get on with the codliver oil too dear. They are making an issue to children now, so the wireless told us yesterday, so, ( as usual ) on these stunts, there will be less avalible to the general public. We also hear there are some coupon shocks coming tommorow too. Well! Well!
Did you see "Hattus Bastle' now boy? Its on tis week, but, no thanks!! The morbid effect from reading the book still remains, so Im off those chcolates but am anticipating Sullivans Travels, which is a coming attraction & wouldn't mind betting it'll be on during Holy Week- all the best shows are somehow. I suppose you will hear now from Russ [ Broom brother] if Eddie [sister Connies husband ] got home this week after all. Hope he did .....

My Dearest x
Thanks for your letter, & it was certainly a gruelling journey- pity they don't put more corridors on- what a life at London Road- that's some billet- guess the sooner they decide about some other places the better for all concerned- as the a.m. people must be getting fed up with it too. They say on the wireless that they've got so many airforce personnel they are drafting them into the other two forces- particularly the army- as that is where they are wanted, seems such a daft arrangement, although they add they are continuing to take recruits. Do you think bringing up the matter of remuster has brought about the recent change about for you & those other chaps? Went to the pictures by myself on Monday night- mother dosen't care for pictures she says- Monday 6 p.m. I did the front garden by cutting the grass, clearing the beds of toffee papers, rags & other odds & ends, & mowed the back lawn- but I'm scratched to bits for overlooking the rose trees, & plonking into the taller ones. The weather keeps nice, that's one thing in it all. Yesterday we went to the Botanical gardens. Con & the children. They enjoyed it…can't seem to think of anywhere nice to go except to Frenches & Brittans..It would have been nice by the sea this weather, wouldn't it? Uncle Harry turned up at teatime last night- he does look so thin & ill- but he says he couldn't stand life in that Linton institution any longer & has come back to the lodging house here- I got that tea tin open & passed it on to mother- its best to do that think, don't you- Well dear, did your washing yesterday ( what a pile ) & hung it out, if she doesn't do it on me , I'll iron it. Well cheerio, love. Hope you are feeling better & looking forward to seeing you x Your own loving Marie xxxx p.s. Had a warning Monday night.

Boxing Day [ Cambridge ]
My Own Dearest & Best x
Well, here we are — another Xmas passed & we have had a most happy day but one & all were sorry that you were not with us- & of course theres no need to add what I felt & for you to say what you felt- but the fact was that we all had our drinks at 1.30 sharp- in the middle of cutting up the turkey & we one & all drank to you first & we hope that you were able to get a quite minute to do the same with us. We had plenty of drink & the turkey was just lovely. 15lbs. & the plum pudding mum was delighted with the rum you sent. Thanks were so for your Xmas card darling, it was lovely. By the way we had a large size egg flip & guzzled the lot in 2 sittings you boy.
Con [ Georges sister ] had her Xmas tree & it was larger that she has had other years, but the trouble was to get stuff to put on it anyway we didn't do so bad. Your number was 6 & mine 10. I got a little old parcel tied up with a bootlace, no bigger than a finger nail- & caused some shrieks by its very size anyway, I opened it & what? A blinkin' penny & two back studs!! Well I couldn't resist seeing what you had & found three toffees & 2 cigs. Bill [ George's brother] got a beautiful pink cushion cover, Ivy a brooch, Con some stocking mending silk, others got some bars of chocolate. Con had some candles on the tree & we outed the light & lit it up & Val [ Con's daughter ] gave us the prizes she was terribly thrilled with that while we all sat round eyes & mouths wide open in anticipation we then played Newmarket & Brown Anchor& Con won 10/- after 2 hrs play. Then we had some music & my heavens what a row!! We just took it out of the piano me- but old Ivy & Russ had a few drinks & were a proper couple of coons- I laughed ( with the rest of course )- till I felt really sappy but you'd have laughed "fit to kill" if you'd have heard 'em anyway, we turned in at 2o/c am. I got that song called "Yours" so we have had our bobsworth out of that already. Well, darling x have just had a Guiness & wished you everything of the best & only wishing with all my heart you were with us. X Have you been busy helping the other blokes to drinks? Did you have a party after all? Its bitterly cold today but we are warm & comfortable & my word thanks to mother, you wouldn't think there was a war on. But theres simply no drink to be brought. Well sweetheart, its now dinnertime, good old roast beef of old England & horseradish! Lovely! Well cheerio sweetheart this is just to let you see I'm thinking of you in spite of all this pleasure & noise. Russel [George's brother] is not going back until Sunday, so if you get this in time you will know he is not about until then. I shall D.V. be going back on that 5.15…. Russel didn't get in until 9.30 when he left you, so you see how late trains are. Well, cheerio sweetheart all love xxxx love & always xxx Marie xxx

text: In this paper the computational complexity of the marginalized particle lter is analyzed. We introduce an equivalent flop measure to capture floating-point operations as well as other features, which cannot be measured using flops, such as the complexity in generating random numbers and performing the resampling. From the analysis we conclude how to partition the estimation problem in an optimal way for some common target tracking models. Some guidelines on how to increase performance based on the analysis is also given. In an extensive Monte Carlo simulation we study different computational aspects and compare with theoretical results.
