Good Morning,
Prosperity produces competitive intelligence which produces replication of our work. Imitation produces alterations in our versions. Variations of our own materials produce professional survival. Survival produces prosperity. Prosperity produces (you guessed it!) competitive espionage again. And, so it goes. Professional spies see themselves as superior human beings (proud of being part of a brutality cult) who are not bound by any ordinary rules of conduct, because they are all superior in their fellowship that non-believers or outsiders can never comprehend.
Be wary of unusual or inappropriate questions. Usually they are innocent in nature, but not always. Your competition knows how to play on your sympathy and good nature to get close to you. Professional opponents will try to get the dirt on their competitors. They will attempt to get to their estranged family members and friends, the worst of their enemies, their disgruntled employees, ex-boyfriends or ex-spouses, just about anyone they can use in order to gather information to destroy their competitors personal and professional character. They will cause confusion and distraction and emotional carnage.
What to do? Document the incidences as they occur and the truth. That is the reward, exposing the truth. Never confront an opponent directly and never let on what you know about what they are doing because it can put you in jeopardy. Always be polite, cool-headed but, hyper-alert. Do an intelligent and professional job recording facts and most importantly, the truth. Publish it all on the Internet on every website and every blog you can – repeatedly, as much and as often as possible. All of it, every word, every picture, every video, and every loss you sustain– document and report it. Do not let yourself become a passive victim. You'll be creating a recorded account to take to administrators of justice that will reveal the details of the torment caused by the professional savages who have beaten your reputation down and who may have an even more frightening agenda planned for you.
Competitive intelligence can produce horrific fear and anxiety that can result in a breakdown. It is intended to distract and entrap its targets and to keep the intended professionals from participating in their work, crippling them financially and impeding their ability to earn a decent living.
It can also lead to professional exclusion in the form of blacklisting. To counteract blacklisting get professional critiques from people who think well of you and your work professionally. Keep producing new material as proof and copyright everything. Send this material to people in your inner circle, to your friends, associates and especially to yourself. And, be discreet about the people you have in your corner by protecting their identity. Later on, if and when you need it, you will have their support and their backup information which will show you were rated well and on paper, even if these persons become infiltrated by your competition, you will still have this proof if they want to say something different…and it is very likely they may – if given enough incentive. Written and recorded backup is always the best support around.
Lastly, should you discover that you are being shunned professionally or excluded socially and computer systems broken into, your work secretly stolen, revised and sold without your knowledge – just know, that it's more common than you might imagine. It appears to be happening more often these days to everyone.
It has been said that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but I disagree. When our hard-earned accolades are challenged by those who have not put in the time or who are not vested, and we find ourselves disgraced by their lies and exaggerations to professionals we may not even know, there is little to be complemented by. This is a serious issue that is worthy of looking into deeper since it is seriously under-addressed in our field.
The best way to counteract these attacks is to continue to feel good about yourself and what you are doing. Don't listen to the rubbish your competitors say about you in their attempt to diminish your reputation and neutralize your efforts to get back on your feet. Stand up and don't let them intimidate you. It is possible to survive professionally with skillful navigation. Regardless of the destruction accomplished, the best advice is to always remain positive and open to new possibilities.

The new 500-foot skyscraper on the corner of Light and Conway streets downtown is now the tallest residential building in the city—and its luxe amenities are also raising the bar.
When it welcomes its first wave of residents next month, 414 Light Street will be equipped with condominium-style living spaces, a yoga studio, a pet spa, multipurpose activity lawns, and a pool deck with jumbo television screens and cabanas overlooking the Inner Harbor skyline.
But aside from the recreational space, another major part of the project from Pikesville-based Questar Properties will be its food offerings—both for residents and the general public. In addition to an al fresco bar and indoor entertainment kitchen for tenants, the property features 12,300 square feet of street-level retail space that will be occupied by four restaurant concepts.
"The restaurant component really dovetails into the theme of our building," says Questar's president and CEO Stephen M. Gorn. "We have a health and wellness program, and a quality concierge that will cater to the living experience of our residents. And food is a big part of that experience."
Gorn is hoping to introduce a variety of food options in the retail space, including an Italian or Middle Eastern sit-down restaurant and a vegan eatery. He says that Questar currently has a letter of intent from a well-known restaurateur who is looking to bring a plant-based concept to the area. Though that deal has not yet been fully fleshed out, the developer has officially leased a portion of the retail space to Shigehiko Okiebisu, who owns Kippo Ramen in Fells Point.
"The Inner Harbor is one of the places I drive by most," Okiebisu says. "It's a symbol for Baltimore. And with all of the office buildings and tourists, it seemed like a great place to bring Japanese ramen."
Slated to open in mid-November, Ramen Utsuke will take after its sister-spot with its traditional Japanese noodle dishes. But Okiebisu says that the downtown location will have its own identity, highlighting a wider array of to-go items for downtown professionals.
"Noodles get soggy when you order them to go," he says. "They lose their consistency and the soup is no longer hot. Here, we want to focus on easier takeout dishes, like bento boxes and steamed bun sandwiches, that people can grab and take back to the office."
For sit-down service, the restaurant will, of course, showcase its signature ramen bowls with add-ins like sprouts, soft-boiled eggs, and seaweed. While Okiebisu tends to serve thick chicken and pork broths at Kippo, he is hoping to offer a more clear, drinkable soup at Ramen Utsuke—whose name translates to "ramen crazy."
"Nowadays not too many people use the word 'utsuke,' so you can take it many ways," he says. "But there are some people who are against ramen stores offering any other dishes. I wanted to do something a little different and crazy that other people wouldn't do."
The 80-seat eatery will feature a contemporary design with a large open kitchen, 27-foot ceilings, an outdoor patio, and a mixture of booth, high-top, and communal tables inside. The property is also equipped with its own 460-space parking garage, which diners will have access to.
Gorn is looking forward to creating a relationship between the retailers and tenants, mentioning that he is planning to have some of the chefs host interactive cooking classes in the tower's seventh-floor kitchen. The educational aspect aligns well with Okiebisu's mission, which is to create an authentic experience for local diners.
"Ramen is a very humble dish in Japan," he says. "Just like a chicken wing or pizza place in Baltimore. I don't want to do anything special with it, I just want to introduce humble Japanese food to the people of Baltimore. I believe that's a huge part of my life."

After the Hermiston Storm defeated West Linn 33-29 in the 2017 Girls Oregon Middle School State Championship for AAU, they were poised to bring home some more hardware the following season. This past weekend in Central Oregon, the Storm — along with the 5th grade Hermiston Sparks and 6th grade Hoopdawgs — did just that.
With the three victories, Hermiston became the first city since the start of the AAU tournament in 2013 to win multiple championships in the gold bracket.
The championship tournament began Friday and wrapped up play Sunday in Bend and Redmond.
Three teams made up of Hermiston-area students qualified to attend the tournament through top finishes in various tournaments throughout the regular season.
The 5th grade Hermiston Sparks and 8th grade Storm earned bids in early November after finishing in the top two at a tournament in Spokane. For the 6th grade Hoopdawgs, they punched their ticket in January.
In the gold bracket, which included middle schools that feed into a Class 6A/5A high school program, Hermiston had to outlast a total of 55 other teams to make it to the championship game.
The three teams went a combined 14-0 throughout the tournament, holding off its opponents in some tough matchups — the Sparks advanced to the title game by defeating the Churchill Iron Maidens by one point — and some blowouts — the Storm defeated their first opponent 64-20 to open the weekend.
In the title games, the Storm came back for the win after starting the first half behind with a 28-23 victory over McMinnville.
"I'm proud of the girls playing hard," head coach MaryJane Heideman said, "and coming away with these tough wins."
The Hoopdawgs were off to a rocky start in their championship game. They started down 9-1 in the first five minutes of the play, and couldn't buy a basket. However, after halftime, Hermiston found its rhythm and eventually defeated Sherwood 42-37.
The Storm was the final team to compete, and pulled away late to seal at 44-39 win over Sheldon.

Jessica McLeod-Yu had the rare insight of knowing exactly what she wanted to be when she was just three years old.
Her passion for animation has seen her move to Melbourne and secure a role as Assistant Director of the Melbourne International Animation Festival, after graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art (now a Bachelor of Creative Industries) from the University of Newcastle (UON).
The self-confessed adventurer, dreamer, creator, story teller, language learner, animator and artist squeezed every possible opportunity out of her studies.
"Growing up I didn't meet anyone who described themselves as an animator or someone with a similar profession. I came to university hoping to learn the fundamentals of classical art and drawing.
"During my degree, I tried to choose electives outside of my Faculty to develop other types of skills that I could apply to creating film and animations. I also took advantage of as many overseas experiences that I could manage, which was absolutely incredible," Jessica said.
Jessica chose to undertake an Honours year as part of her degree. In her thesis, she explored how the medium of animation could be used to express internal states, such as emotions, dreams and thoughts.
"I enjoyed my Honours year the most because I could take all the skills I learnt and apply them to a single project of my own choosing. I made a five-minute hand drawn animation, titled Awake, about the emotional journey of an adolescent experiencing depression.
"I chose this topic because I observed that there were a lot of young people experiencing depression, but not too many of them spoke about overcoming their grief. Based on my own past experiences, I wrote this story with the intention of inspiring people currently going through depression as well as their family and friends," Jessica explained.
AWAKE: Waking Up From The Darkness Of Depression. from Jessica McLeod-Yu on Vimeo.
Her short film was selected from thousands of submissions to be screened at the 2017 Newcastle International Animation Festival and has also been used as a teaching tool to show how art can be used to reduce the stigma associated with mental health.
Looking back, Jessica is glad she chose to study an Arts degree and said it provided her with foundations that gave her more depth and understanding of the field.
"I am quite happy that I studied Fine Arts instead of a standard animation degree because these skills have given me an edge and diverse knowledge base, which other animation students may not experience," she said.

December 29th from Mercy:
How are you and the Kagan Village project team?
Just an update on the Kagan Village project! It is very dry in Kagan village,there is no rain as per the expectation that it would rain in December.This is a clear indication of famine next year.However ,Wellington and some villagers are trying to make good use of the water that is still there in the river to water their vegetables using the pumb you and your friends bought. They have hopes they would at least get something out if it. The villagers do not have much for repairs and maintainannce but they do plegde something when the proceeds are realized.
The farmers around are glad that they do a have a pump around that they can access easily without paying. The vegetables are doing well and I believe if all goes well the proceeds will be huge.
Thanks and please find the attached photos of other young farmers watering their plantation.
it us very dry for these tomatoes and kales to grow to this extent its because they are being watered regularly.
It might look small but you as you can see some leaves of the kales are already being plucked and are used for domestic used.Wellington says he sold some kales last week for Ksh 2150.This to me is a good start and I hope there will be better proceeds.
Neighbors of the Ukumu family using the pump
Baby kale plants
Tomatoes are an important cash crop. Note the dark earth below the plants from watering them.

Two Pedestrian Accidents In Harris County
On the last day of August, two Harris County pedestrians were struck in two separate accidents.
According to an article which appeared on the Chron.com website, the accidents both happened on Friday, August 31st.
Authorities say that the first crash happened at approximately 12:15 a.m. where a woman was struck by a pickup truck while she was attempting to cross a feeder road on Sam Houston Parkway near Greenspoint Drive. A spokesperson from the Houston Police Department said that the woman who had been driving the pickup truck may have run a red light. The driver was taken into police custody after officers at the scene determined that she had been intoxicated at the time of the crash.
Approximately 15 minutes later, a second pedestrian-involved crash occurred on Veterans Memorial Drive and Blackpool. Authorities say that a male pedestrian had been standing in the roadway of Veterans Memorial when he was struck by an unidentified vehicle. Police are treating the incident as a hit and run since the driver did not stop at the scene of the crash.
Both pedestrians were taken to area hospitals in Harris County for treatment of injuries resulting from the crashes. Both the man and woman are listed in critical condition. The identities of both victims in the crashes have been withheld by the authorities.


text: Murder is considered to be one of the most serious felonies under UK law. It carries a mandatory punishment and therefore effective representation is necessary for court. It occurs when the defendant kills the victim with intention of causing death. Serious harm or bodily injury can also occur as a result of murder which changes the charges as well as court proceedings as the victim lives. Solicitor Guru is the online guide for choosing murder defense attorneys. The element of transferred malice is also one of the points which are considered by the court as the case proceeds.

For UVA Jefferson Fellow, literature Ph.D. candidate and classics scholar Stephanie Bernhard, the path to her true calling began in a garden.
"I did a lot environmental writing when I was in college [at Brown]," Bernhard says, "and before starting my first job I took a summer to [work with] WWOOF, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. I had to do a lot of weeding, and it was a very, very rainy summer.
"Here's the nerdy part," says Bernhard, who became interested in classics in her seventh-grade Latin class. "One of my favorite poems was Vergil's 'Georgics,' which is a very long poem about agriculture and agricultural labor. One day I was just out there in the field weeding and being extremely miserable, and then I realized it was exactly these lines from the "Georgics." The line is, 'Labor conquers all.' It made me feel very connected to a tradition that I adore. And yet there's nothing more modern and millennial than caring about where your food comes from. I appreciated the long reach of this tradition."
Born in the suburbs outside Boston, Bernhard didn't get her hands dirty, so to speak, until WWOOF, and then "there was a break in my ability to engage in that kind of work," she says. She moved to New York, where she worked in publishing and did an internship with radio station WNYC. "The one story I did myself was on WWOOF-ing," she says.
When she moved to Charlottesville to pursue her Ph.D. in literature, Bernhard was thrilled to be able to live in a house with a big backyard. "I was able to transform it into this little mini farm of my own," she says. "I grow enough to almost keep me and my boyfriend in produce for the year. It's winter, so right now I have carrots, turnips, radishes, mustard greens, kale, collards and shallots and garlic in the ground."
Her appreciation for diversity extends beyond her green thumb to the many types of writing she's pursued over the years, especially non-fiction. Now she writes about literature, agriculture, the environment and climate change.
The literary research she encounters and criticism she writes for her fellowship leads her to write reviews and personal essays for magazines and journals such as the Los Angeles Review of Books and The Millions. In one essay, she writes about her experience "trying to live out one of Hemingway's stories. My goal was to cook all of the meals that the main character makes in this one story. It was a bit of a disaster because a lot of the food turned out kind of gross," she says. "But it was fun to play with literature and not just take it very seriously, as often happens in academic departments."
Personal experiences aren't the only stories she tells in an effort to bring tradition to life. "I've been branching out into more journalistic and creative writing," she says. "The piece I have coming out in Orion this spring is a profile of this gardening expert named Ira Wallace who lives out in Mineral. She wrote a book on gardening in the Southeast that I use and adore. She's one of the primary brains behind Southern Exposure Seed Exchange."
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange's mission, to preserve Southern heirloom vegetables and crops, resonates with Bernhard. "They find old seeds with a very long history, and they nurture them and grow them the right way so that people can continue enjoying those seeds indefinitely," she says.
"In our contemporary world we're facing a tremendous extinction because of things like climate change, and there's also a great agricultural extinction already going on because so much of our food comes from big corporations, blah, blah, blah, Monsanto. We've just lost a tremendous amount of seed diversity."
Bernhard tackles these modern issues not only in articles and her dissertation but most recently a novel. In her fiction, Bernhard says, she tries to operate in a tradition of agrarian literature while adding contemporary elements. The novel, which she'll debut during this month's The Bridge PAI's Reading Series, "takes up a lot of the same concerns as many of my political and essayistic work about agriculture and the relationship between humans and non-human organisms," she says.
The story focuses on one growing season at a small organic "do-gooder" farm up in Maine, and its characters' lives exemplify not only wonderful ideals but the hard realities of modern farming. "For those of us for whom plants are soul food, we go to farmers markets and get this really idyllic image of small, progressive organic farms. Obviously, it's hard work, not just physically hard, but there are human difficulties that go into making a place like that—how it should look, who gets to run it."
All her work hangs on a simple idea: the preservation of what's important. She says she identifies with companies such as Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, whose motto is "saving the past for the future."
"For me, this idea of the classics is something very similar," she says. "One job of a scholar is to preserve knowledge and to make it available and make it accessible and make it exciting for future generations. I think that is one of the reasons that studying the classics appeals to me."

With the New Year come many New Year's resolutions. What are yours? Perhaps you have been thinking for some time about giving your house a facelift. Or perhaps you are trying to sell your house. In either case, an easy way to improve the look of your house without breaking the bank is to have the exterior of your house painted. Getting rid of fading or peeling paint, adding a new splash of color and drawing attention to unique details are all possible with a few coats of durable and high quality primer and paint. With the right contractor for the job, you can sell that home in no time!
For your new paint job, you'll need to select more than one color. Most homes have at least three or more colors which bring out the unique features of each house. The house itself has one color with differing shades of the same color or a different color as an accent on the trim, railings, columns, window sashes, or doors. Stone, brick, and vinyl windows are all static, so keep this in mind when selecting a paint color, because the paint will look different next to these features.
Greenway Painting, your best Cincinnati painting contractors, can also help you select the colors that will best suit your home and your tastes. We also have all of the necessary tools, so there's no reason to worry about that. For this New Year's resolution, count on us to give your house that facelift you desire so that you will have that "awe factor" when your friends and family walk in. Oh, and don't forget to resolve to spend a little more time with those family and friends.

It's easy to see why Oconee County continues to rank as a top community for world class businesses, entrepreneurs, and talented workers. The county's schools, recreational facilities, and housing options are among the best in the nation. Our business-friendly atmosphere, close proximity to the University of Georgia, and large pool of well-educated employees have helped to create a thriving business environment where success is commonplace.
Oconee County is a strong community where educational opportunities abound; bustling retail nodes flourish and advanced medical technologies from two premiere Georgia hospitals provide the highest quality healthcare in the region. Over 50% of the county's almost 40,000 residents have a bachelors degree or higher and make up a strong community built with the arts in mind.
Oconee County, a suburb of Athens, is a 7-minute drive to the University of Georgia, a 75-minute drive to the City of Atlanta, and a 90-minute drive to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport – close enough to it all, but just far enough to feel away from it all!

The reason I ask that is because of what happened with Zoroark in Sinnoh, then Ash says "Bye. See you in the next region." Everyone is wondering about Magiana, even though we had some info from CoroCoro.
While this is possible, and has been a thing in the past (the aforementioned Zoroark and the Lucario movie), it is really hard to tell because we know next to nothing about Magiana (called Magearna in English) except it's name and that it will be featured in the Volcanion movie. So it is possible that Magearna is foreshadowing a new region, however it is equally if not more likely that it's simply a new Legendary coming in another Kalos game (which has been heavily hinted at).
Can be possible. In the past the last movies of the anime arcs mostly introduce a new Pokemon, but this is not true because Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was the second last movie, but Manaphy was introduced in the last movie of Hoenn. Zoroark was revealed in the last movie of Sinnoh, and Mega Mewtwo which is not really a new Pokemon, in Unova. LAST BUT NOT LEAST Latios and Latias were revealed in a Johto Movie, I think it was Pokemon Heroes.
Magiana (Magearna in English), can possibly be linked to a new region, since the official Pokemon site describes it as a "New mythical Pokemon", so this means it is possibly a new gen Pokemon because Magearna doesn't exist in the data for XY/ORAS. Magearna's name is also included in the movie title, so were the names of Zoroark and Lucario.
Or if I'm wrong, and as Doctor Disco said, it might be referring to a NEW Legendary in a new Kalos game.

Scott brought Jack to me in the Spring for a Click to Calm class. Since then, Jack has went through Foundation classes and is now taking advanced classes at Clicking with Canines.
Jack has recently been making great strides in impulse control classes and with relaxation exercises. Like his owner Scott, Jack also really enjoys playing soccer! Jack has a great drive to work and hopefully will someday be a great agility or herding dog! Mokie enjoys flirting with Jack whenever given the chance at play time.
This year, Jack wants some sheep to herd for Christmas!
Jack, I think you deserve some sheep too, and I know you'd keep 'em in line! May all your Christmas wishes come true, Scott and Jack…thanks for being such great clients!

Interview at Weird Tales Magazine
Weird Tales Magazine interviewed me yesterday about my writing, both table tennis and science fiction & fantasy. (If you read it, feel free to comment!) I was also able to talk a lot about my new novel, "Sorcerers in Space." Remember, Sorcerers in Space isn't just a fantasy novel - it's about a 13-year-old who has to give up his ping-pong dreams to save the world!!! There are 11 scenes that mention table tennis in some way, mostly early on. So buy it!!!
I have a story coming out in Weird Tales in January, "Galahad Returns," and had another one in 2009, "Defeating Death." The latter includes these immortal lines:
Zargo walked to the basement door. It had been boarded up ever since an accident involving a rather unfortunate former assistant and a rather unfortunate game of ping-pong that got out of hand. ("Magic and ping-pong," Zargo had solemnly said, "don't mix.")
Besides this table tennis blog, I also have a science fiction & fantasy blog, though I don't update that as often.
One of the strangest things is that I get interviewed more as a science fiction and fantasy writer than as a table tennis coach and writer. Below are the four times I've been interviewed that I can recall. Note that the only one that interviewed me about table tennis was the humorous one by The Daily Quarterly.
Picture of O'Day and Me
Here's a picture of me (on left) coaching Orioles pitcher Darren O'Day yesterday at the Maryland Table Tennis Center. Here's another where you can see Darren about to hit the ball. His forehand and backhand are now pretty good, even in live play, now that he's got the tip down and moves to each ball. To work on his backhand counter-hitting I introduced him yesterday to "The Backhand Game." I put a box on each side of the table to block off all but the backhand side. On his side I only gave myself about 1.5 feet, while on my side I gave him half the table, 2.5 feet. Then I spotted him five points, and we went at it, backhand to backhand. I won each time, but now he has a goal, to beat me at that game. When he does, then we'll gradually move the boxes so we are both covering 2.5 feet and remove the spot - but he has to earn it.
He's picked up looping pretty well in multiball, but still needs work on incorporating it in game situations - we're working on it. He can loop against both backspin and topspin, but in multiball finds it easier to loop against topspin. I've also started him on backhand looping against backspin, but only in multiball.
He practices all these shots at home on a robot he bought recently.
His serves are getting pretty spinny. I taught him the forehand pendulum serve, and he's practiced it a lot. He still feels a bit awkward going from the serving grip to his regular grip.

Great Counterlooping Point
Here's a video (58 sec) of a great rally between Taiwan's Chuang Chih-Yuan and Japan's Kaii Yoshida, with a nice Chuang celebration at the end.
Scream Player Revealed
Remember the video I posted on Monday (at very bottom) of an obviously very good player playing in a Scream mask and outfit? The player has been unmasked - it was Christian Suss, a member of the German National Team and world #58 (and as high as #17 three years ago). Here's an article and video on this.
Car Pong
Here's a video (3:31, in Spanish) that shows a table tennis tournament held with a mini-table entirely in the back of a car! I think it's some sort of advertisement for Chevrolet Captiva.

Tip of the Week
Back Stiffness
My back is now so stiff I've been offered money to use it to carve stuff on diamonds. There's a rumor it's made of collapsed matter.
I spent most of July feeding multiball and hitting with beginners, then spent nine days at a writers workshop (mostly sitting down), and then another week at another camp mostly feeding multiball or hitting with beginners. When I finally had several sessions with more advanced players this weekend (John, Kevin, Sameer) I could barely move. At some point in the last month or so the wide forehand has moved another three feet away. The backhand corner is now somewhere way off in the distance to the left. And looping with power is like trying to lasso someone with a hundred-pound dumbbell.
If I weren't so busy with MDTTC camps, private & group coaching, a new tenant just moving into my townhouse (I live on third floor, rent out first two floors), battles with previous tenant (who left without paying rent, cleaning the place, and left numerous damages), plus an incredible amount of time now devoted to my novelist career (my first one's coming out Nov. 15 - see my July 30 blog), this blog and Tip of the Week, a pair of upcoming ITTF coaching seminars, promoting Table Tennis Tactics for Thinkers (as I just did!), and a few jillion other things, I'd focus on getting back in shape and back to my normal 2200 level - not easy at age 53.
This morning we start another camp, Week Eight of our ten weeks of camps. We have stronger (i.e. younger) coaches who act as high-level practice partners, so most of my coaching time will likely be giving the usual group lectures, demos, and feeding multiball.
Seven Days, Seven Trophies!
One of my students, Sameer Shaikh (who just turned 12) had an incredible week. At the Northern Open in Detroit last weekend, he won Under 800, Under 950, and Under 1100, and made the final of Under 1250. (That's four trophies.) On Monday, at the Junior Olympics (also in Detroit), he won Division I (that's five). This past Saturday he won Under 1200 and Under 1400 at the Maryland Circuit (that's seven). So how many of you have won seven trophies, six of them for first place, in one week? (Disclosure - while I'm his primary coach, I wasn't at the Northern Open or Junior Olympics, where he was coached by John Hsu. Also, while I was away at a recent writers workshop he had several sessions with Raghu Nadmichettu.)
He's mostly been taking one lesson a week this past year, but recently upped that. Yesterday I gave him a two-hour lesson. His shots have really smoothed out. I think much of it is confidence - he now knows he can make his shots. He's even challenging me in these backhand games where we go backhand to backhand only - and we do that because that's his weak side. (He's primarily a forehand attacker, both looping and smashing.) We're now working hard on the backhand attack, especially backhand looping, as well as more serve variations. Yesterday I started him on reverse pendulum serves to go with his normal pendulum serve.
Here's a picture of Sameer with the four trophies from the Northern Open, with Coach John Hsu.

USOC Athletes of the Month - USATT's Nominations
Here's your chance to vote for Lily Zhang and Tahl Leibovitz! Here are their credentials, from the article:

The 17-year-old also claimed the 18U singles title with a 3-1 victory over Ge Chi of China, and concluded her impressive campaign by earning the bronze medal in the U21 singles, eventually losing to teammate Ariel Hsing (San Jose, Calif.), 4-1.
Four-time Paralympian Tahl Leibovitz (Queens, N.Y.) breezed through preliminary and final rounds without dropping a game en route to the gold medal in the first men's para table tennis event at the 2013 Maccabiah Games, held July 17-30 in Jerusalem. Leibovitz defeated Aviv Gordon of Israel, 3-0, in the semifinals and notched a 3-0 victory over Israel's Neal Sharon in the final.

This is not our first stay in Hotel Negresco and we happily came back for another 10 day holiday. The position of the hotel is excellent, especially for those like us with small children Bedrooms are comfortable and clean, the restaurant is very nice and the food, well… Very generous portions and huge antipasti buffet. Quality of meals: Very good! It should also be said that the whole staff is very nice and ready to help. After staying in the past both in Hotel Imperiale and Hotel Waldorf Palace, we have come to one conclusion: The hotels of the Nonnihotels Group are the true guarantee. A big hello to Mr. Nonni, to Riccardo (in charge of reception desk) and living legend Giuseppe (waiter). We hope to be back again soon, a big hug to little Tommaso.
