International Students Study and Desire To Stay In Canada
Canada is one of the most popular academic destinations on earth
We've touched on why dual citizens should consider Canada as an academic destination. The primary reason being that you pay Canadian tuition rates – not international fees. In a world that is increasingly paying attention to Canadian academic institutions, citizens by descent have a tremendous advantage in this regard and have the added benefit of being entitled to stay in the country, pursue work, or reside here easier than most of the international student community.
According to the Canadian Bureau for International Education as of the end of last year there were 494,525 international students in Canada. This number from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is an increase of 20% over 2016 and is particularly significant in that it surpasses Canada's International Education Strategy goal of 450,000 international students in Canada by 2022, five years ahead of schedule.
This number representing all levels of Canadian education clearly demonstrates the continuing attractiveness of Canada as a study destination,' said Karen McBride, President and CEO of CBIE. Our research shows that international students choose Canada because of the quality of the Canadian education system and our reputation as a safe and tolerant country. This reputation is especially attractive now, given a changing global climate, and 95% of international students tell us they would recommend Canada to family and friends. Moreover, the strong focus of our member institutions across the country on effectively supporting international students is a hallmark of Canada's approach, one that we continually strive to improve. -CBIE
Sixty percent of international students surveyed harboured the desire to become a permanent resident in Canada after they graduate, according to a recently released survey by the CBIE. This represents a 51 per cent increase in a smaller survey conducted in 2015.
Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, says the government wants international students to become permanent residents. He told parliament's Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration that helping international students stay in Canada is a key facet of Canada's new multi-year immigration levels plan for 2018-2020. Canadian Citizenship has also been made more accessible to international students through changes that now allow former students to count the time spent in Canada on a temporary visa, such as a study permit.

Solar Philippines plans stock offering
Local firm Solar Philippines is prepping up for its planned initial public offering (IPO) at the local bourse, according to company executives.
The firm, which was founded by young businessman Leandro Leviste, has recently tapped power industry hotshot Marty Crotty as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who will steer the company on its targeted listing at the Philippine Stock Exchange.
Crotty formerly served as president of AES Asia, an American company which built strategic energy investments in Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
For the company's Philippine operations, AES became the owner and operator of the 600-megawatt Masinloc coal-fired power plant that was sold to San Miguel Group in 2017.
Prior to his stint at AES, Crotty served as CEO of Upwind Solutions, an asset management company with ventures in wind power and had the backing of Silicon Valley investor Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
For Solar Philippines, the company's first major development was the 63-megawatt Calatagan solar farm installation and was among the first to be qualified in the feed-in-tariff (FIT) incentive accorded by the Philippine government.
In the project's corporate vehicle Solar Philippines Calatagan Corporation, 38-percent of shareholdings had been acquired by Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) in 2018.
Razon-led Prime Metroline Infrastructure Holdings Corporation (Prime Infra) also bought 50-percent stake this year in Solar Philippines Tarlac Corporation, another Leviste-founded firm that developed the 150MW solar farm venture in Tarlac.
As qualified, the company in the stock offering plan will be Solar Philippines Holdings, which is the parent firm that holds equity in the various power projects with partners. No financial adviser named yet for the IPO.
In a statement to the media, Solar Philippines claimed that its portfolio had already grown since its founding in 2013 – and it now employs around 2,000 people; and it is targeting developments of up to 10,000 megawatts.
The company said it just recently shifted its strategy "from competing with others in the power industry to collaborating with several local and foreign conglomerates to execute an ambitious solar pipeline."
Leviste asserted his company is "finding more and more partners and colleagues who can see the time for solar in the Philippines is now."
He added with our new partners and colleagues, we are more optimistic than ever that we can deliver the largest portfolio of renewable energy projects in Southeast Asia."

Barcelona's Outcast, Suarez To Move To Juventus
Barcelona and Uruguay's Suarez has been linked for a move to Juventus since the Messi burble bursted. Juventus young and new manager, Andrea Pirlo has declared interest on the prolific forward and just by next season, he could be playing in Serie A.
According to Goal, Suarez has been offered to the reigning Serie A champions after seemingly being shown the door at Camp Nou, and now, everyone is asking "what's happening in Camp Nou that top players are leaving?"
Since the arrival of Ronald Koeman as the Catalans' new manager, Suarez was left off the Dutchman's list of names that were seen as vital to the future of the club and on that, the Uraguyan's forward has pleaded for clarity to enable him take a decision.
There is talk of some names that the president gave, of changes that can be made, but nobody told me that they want to do without me," Suarez said in an interview with El Pais. "If this is the desire of the club, it would be good if the person in charge speaks directly to me. I've been at Barca for six years, enough time to say what they think. It's better to tell me if I am one of the ones that they want out. It remains to be seen.
"I also want the best for the club and my plan today is to continue, but if the club thinks that I am expendable, I have no problem speaking with those who decide. Luiz Suarez will be a very good signing for Juventus if the deal matures.

HealthDay News — Above-average childhood body mass index (BMI) and increases in BMI during childhood are associated with increased risk of early adult ischemic stroke, according to a study published in JAMA Neurology.
Line K. Gjaerde, MD, from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and colleagues conducted a population-based cohort study of schoolchildren born from 1930 to 1987 with follow-up through national health registers from 1977 to 2012. Data were included for 307,677 individuals with measured weight and height at ages 7 to 13 years.
The researchers found that 3529 women and 5370 men experienced an ischemic stroke during the study period. An above-average BMI z score at ages 7 to 13 years was positively associated with early ischemic stroke.
A BMI z score of 1 at age 13 years was associated with hazard ratios of 1.26 and 1.21 in women and men, respectively. There were no significant correlations for below-average BMI z scores. Among children with above-average BMI z scores at age 7 years, an increase in score of 0.5 from ages 7 to 13 correlated with early ischemic stroke among women and men (hazard ratios, 1.1 and 1.08, respectively). Similar trends were seen for children with below-average BMI z scores at age 7 years and an increase in score of 0.5 from ages 7 to 13 (hazard ratios, 1.14 and 1.1, respectively).
"These results suggest that all children should be helped to attain and maintain healthy weights," the authors write.


A new study shows how eating a plentiful amount of fruits and vegetables not only leads to great health, but can also make you look more attractive. The study points out how certain compounds found in fruits and vegetables have the ability to alter skin tone, changing the redness or yellowness of people's skin and ultimately leading to what they say is a more attractive appeal.
A small study involving 35 university students between the ages 18 and 25 examined the participants' fruit and vegetable intake while researchers recorded their skin color over a six week period. All but one of the participants were white. The researchers found that higher fruit and vegetable consumptions resulted in an increase in skin redness and yellowness.
While carotenoids are shown to be useful in boosting attraction, there are many other beneficial compounds that can be found in fruits, vegetables, as well as other foods that make you more attractive. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that higher dietary intake of vitamin C, found in fruits like oranges and papaya, actually reduced the visibility of a wrinkled appearance. Additionally, biotin, a b-complex vitamin found in Swiss chard, is associated with enhanced looked. Other vitamins present in many vegetables such as vitamins A, K, and C can also help to slow the aging process.

Battle of Falkirk
On this day in 1298 the Battle of Falkirk took place between the forces of Scotland under William Wallace and an English army under Edward I. A pivotal moment in the First War of Scottish Independence, it would be a significant defeat for the Scots leading to Wallace resigning as Guardian of Scotland.
Schiltrons formed the backbone of the Scottish army.
In September 1297 the Scots had inflicted a crushing defeat upon the English at the Battle of Striling Bridge. Since then Wallace and his army had been able to travel south with little opposition and raid the countryside along the Scottish / English border. Hearing of the defeat at Stirling, Edward hastily agreed a truce with the French king, Philip the Fair and returned to England to prepare a counterstrike. He assembled a force of around 15,000 men, including some 10,500 Welshmen. Edward ordered his army to assemble at Roxburgh in the Scottish Borders on June 25th where he remained until July 3rd.
He reached Kirkliston in two weeks, where he awaited supplies expected to arrive along the coastal ports, delayed due to weather. There he was forced to deal with a mutiny among his Welsh troops but on July 20th was able to move on, reaching Linlithgow on the 21st. Hearing that a Scottish army was at Torwood, near Falkirk, he decided to place his army south of the town.
The battle begun with an English cavalry charge, which swept away the Scottish horse and archers but had little impact on the schiltrons.
The Wallace's army numbered around 6,000, perhaps consisting of four schiltrons with about 1,000 men each, in addition to the cavalry and archers. Absent however, were forces under the Comyns and Robert Bruce. Also absent was Andrew Moray, co-victor with Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, having been mortally wounded in that battle. It was Moray who used the schiltrons offensively.
The schiltrons formed the backbone of the Scottish army, consisting chiefly of spearmen arranged in a circular formation, with the long spears pointing outwards. At Falkirk it is thought four were arranged with archers filling the gaps between them and some 500 knights supporting them to their rear. When in formation however schiltrons were essentially static and at Falkirk they were fortified by stakes driven into the ground before them, with ropes between. In front of them was an area of marshy ground which would make an English charge difficult.
It was therefore up to the English to advance and since they were eager to do battle, advance they did. Their cavalry was divided into four battalions with the Earl of Lincoln leading from the right but moving left to avoid the marshy ground; they were followed by the Earl of Surrey's horse. Anthony Bek and Edward's horse moved around the right of the marshy ground. Lincoln and Bek charged aggressively and Lincoln quickly routed the Scottish cavalry.
Having eliminated their support the English hit the schiltrons with their superior archers.
The Scots bowmen commanded by Sir John Stewart of Bonkill, the younger brother of the High Steward of Scotland, stood their ground and were quickly destroyed. But the schiltrons held firm, with the knights making little impression on the dense forest of long spears, and 111 horses were killed in the vain attempts. Edward's cavalry fell back as his infantry and archers arrived.
Edward's longbowmen were brought into place and quickly overcame the inexperienced force of badly armed Scottish archers. The schiltrons were an easy target; they had no defence and nowhere to hide. The hail of arrows was supplemented by crossbow and slingshot. Unable to retreat or attack the schiltrons were cut to pieces, the battle lost almost as soon as the first arrows began to fall. The English cavalry waited, this time observing the King's command, until the Scots ranks were thin enough to allow them to penetrate the Scottish formation and cause whatever damage they could. The English footsoldiers, who had been advancing during the English barrage on the Scottish formations, closed the distance and the schiltrons finally started to break and scatter. Wallace managed to escape and the surviving Scots fled into the woods.
Casualties among the Scottish leaders were not particularly heavy, but did include Wallace's second-in-command, Sir John de Graham, as well as Sir John Stewart of Bonkill, and Macduff of Fife. According to the historian Stuart Reid, "while unquestionably a good partisan leader, William Wallace's military abilities were simply not up to the job of organizing, training and leading a conventional military force." At Falkirk, Wallace "simply drew up his army in an open field and froze."
Having weakened the schiltrons with their archers the English cavalry was able to penetrate their formation and the battle turned into a rout.
Edward occupied Stirling and raided Perth, St. Andrews and Ayrshire. Yet, he retreated to Carlisle by September 9th. By this time Wallace had resigned as Guardian of Scotland in favour of Robert the Bruce, Earl of Carrick and future king, and John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, King John Balliol's nephew. Edward invaded again in the summer of 1300 and so began a new chapter of the First War of Scottish Independence.

I had a brief visit to London over the Bank Holiday weekend, and ended up at the British Library for their Writing Britain exhibition. Now, I lived in London for seven years, and it is to my eternal shame that I only visited the British Library twice. It's often easy to overlook the British Library as a destination, overshadowed as it is by the likes of the National Gallery and the British Museum, and when you live somewhere, it can also be easy to take for granted what's sat on your doorstep.
The British Library is a fantastic space, and they seem to put a lot of thought into their exhibitions - a previous one that I saw was about photography, while the last one was about Charles Dickens and the supernatural (so clearly of great interest to me). The Writing Britain exhibition had at its heart the aim of exploring the ways in which the British landscape has inspired British literature over the years. In many cases, they'd included original handwritten copies of the texts, as well as early first editions - and it was interesting to see the actual handwriting of these literary greats. It somehow makes them more human when you realise that even they write like a crack-addled panda with a box of crayons.
The exhibition itself had two major effects on me. The first was in truly appreciating the diversity of the British landscape. I'm not one of those people who has travelled all over the world, filled with stories of the Far East or south America, but I am a person who has seen a great deal of Great Britain (I've never been to Northern Ireland so I shan't call it the United Kingdom). Weirdly enough, I still sometimes forget the range of locations that comprise our little island. Rural pastoral scenes, wild moorland, coastal escapes and our industrial past couldn't NOT inspire writers, and the exhibition made me long to explore the untamed landscapes of my native Northumberland.
The second made me examine my own work, to see how much of the landscape around me had inspired my writing. Strangely enough, I don't think it has inspired my writing to the extent that I might like. Elements of Victorian London can be seen in my steampunk Vertigo City, and Edinburgh provided a lot of inspiration for the Underground City in my work in progress, The Necromancer's Apprentice. Beyond that, I struggle to find any 'themes' related to landscape - and there is essentially nothing of Newcastle, my hometown, in my work. If I'm honest, I'm actually ashamed of myself for that.
I'm not really sure how to categorise my writing - normally my idea is formed from a 'what if', or it's related to something happening. I often have ideas for settings that I want to use but I only like to actually use these settings when I have a story that I can tell within them. After all, a setting is all very well, but it's nothing more than an empty set unless something is going on in it. I suppose you'd consider me a 'plot driven' writer, in that my stories have to be about a 'thing' or 'event'. If I was a character driven writer, would my work be different? Would I find it easier to use landscape to reflect conditions surrounding a character, or their own internal landscape?
It's something I think that I will endeavour to explore, and I highly recommend the exhibition for writers and bibliophiles alike.

Landscape can be a benefit and a hazard. In my fave Aussie author, Tim Winton, the landscape informs the characters, and is almost a character in itself. But it also reflects Western Australia where Tim lives. Yet, the characters are distinct from the landscape, but match the surroundings.
I just end up thinking back to all of those damned things I had to study in English Literature, about the way the landscape reflected the characters - I think Lord of the Flies was one of the biggest offenders. I don't want my work to be like that...I want to be inspired by what's around me, but will people one day look back and say "Oh she was really just a product of her birthplace"?
I've done a fair bit of traveling and I've lived in some colorful places that *should* have, over the years, made a bigger impact in my writing (or anything, really).
I think I've rectified that by making Portland (Oregon) a major character in my WIP.
I remember an interview with the critic Roger Ebert where he was discussing films and how they use location, how a setting can be as integral to the story as the plot. We definitely notice setting in films more, they are emotional spaces, really. Trying to evoke that in writing is a bit harder, but I think, just as necessary.
Readers love to live in the books they love. Giving them a proper setting can only help.
Thanks for sharing this - important stuff.


After two and a half years of traveling, Freebird has become a symbol for my heart, the way it was meant to be: Free like a bird. I say "Following Freebird" to remind myself to listen and stay true to it so that I am always living my highest truth. Though my travel adventures are on hiatus right now, the lessons I've learned along the way will stay with me forever. The Following Freebird blog has been a summarized chronicle of my new life after a near death experience followed by a year of deep depression after a stroke I had back in January 2014. This was the major catalyst in my choice to leave my "safe" corporate finance job in New York City. Since making this decision, my entire perspective on almost everything in life has changed. The Following Freebird blog has proven to be the best outlet I have when it comes to self-medication. Upon realizing this, I knew that I have a duty to share it with others looking to do the same. What was once a blog focused solely on my travels, experiences and major life revelations will now include contributions from some of the most inspirational people I have had the pleasure of spending time and space with along my journey. Each one of these people have added to the makeup of what this blog has become. We travel to search for the missing pieces of our souls scattered throughout the world. Join us as we become the alchemists of stories worth telling in our search to discover deeper personal meanings for existence.

Top Ten Ways to Play Your Best in a Tournament.
Fact or Fiction: The Life & Times of a Ping Pong Hustler
Here's where you can download the video (60 min) or see the trailer (2:12) about the late Marty Reisman (Feb. 1, 1930 - Dec. 7, 2012). "A chronicle of the final three years of Marty Reisman's life. A table tennis champion turned hustler. Pursuing notoriety and motivated by his love of fame and ping pong, he has to face his biggest fear: mortality."
Here's the IMDB entry on the film. Here's the full description:
Fact or Fiction: The Life and Times of a Ping Pong Hustler is a chronicle of the final three years of Marty Reisman's life, a former international table tennis champion-turned-money player. Pursuing notoriety through his idiosyncratic lifestyle and motivated by his love of fame and Ping Pong, he inadvertently has to face his biggest fear: mortality. Shot over three years, the film follows Marty - a complex mix of childlike excitement, eccentric narcissism and constant charm - as he negotiates between pride, the denial of old age, past defeats and the decline of his fame and fortune, as well as his devoted wife Yoshiko's health, all while clinging onto the hope that his own life and career are just beginning to blossom. The film's observational style, combined with rare archive footage and interviews with key New York and London society characters such Booker Prize winner Howard Jacobson and eminent psychotherapist George Weinberg, work to tell the story of one of America's greatest.
I recently watched the video on my computer, along with Tim Boggan. I knew Marty pretty well. In fact, he's how I got into table tennis! Here's the story.
The video uses both old and recent footage of Reisman, showcasing him from his early years (growing up in the depression, discovering "a different world" in table tennis, and developing as a player in the hardbat era) to his last days, and especially the last three years of his life. Parts of it are rather dark, with much of the video taking place in a hospital after his heart surgery and shortly before Marty died. There's also footage of him running Reisman's Table Tennis Club, which ran from 1958 to the late 1970s.
Marty was perhaps the most flamboyant and stylish table tennis player who ever lived. The video features his many outfits, hats, his tailor and dry cleaner, and even the cane he used - not because he needed it, but for style purposes. Marty quotes poetry, jokes with doctors, talks and sings about mortality, teaches his forehand, shows his microscopes (a hobby of his), demonstrates the cigarette trick, talks about Satoh (the man from Japan who introduced the sponge racket and won the 1952 Worlds, the year Reisman thought he should have won), and talks about how much he was looking forward to a challenge match he had planned with 2009 U.S. Men's Champion Michael Landers. "You'll be in a film with the great Marty Reisman," he explained to Landers. (The film mistakenly credits Landers as being on the U.S. Olympic team.) There's also segments about a planned "Marty's Bar" at Spin TTC in New York.
Yes, Marty was an egomaniac, but he didn't hide this fact - in fact, he wore it on his sleeve, with an almost in-your-face ego. And yet he could be incredibly nice if you played along with it and treated him well. He was a God to many, and enjoyed playing the role. Much of his Godhood came about from the stand he took against sponge rubber, insisting on sticking with hard rubber (and later sandpaper), which he considered a far superior game, where two players had a "dialog" when they rallied.
Near the end there's about 3.5 minutes with USATT Historian Tim Boggan, who gives sort of a fact check to some of the items in the film. (Hence the "Fact or Fiction" part of the title.) He also shows a "Marty as Don Quixote" picture, symbolizing Marty fighting the windmills of sponge.

Training at Zhou Xin TTA
Here's the list of videos.
Here are two more "Ask the Coach" episodes from PingSkills.
Episode #10 (13:26):
Question 1: Usually players follow one style, attack or defense. If I want to change mine to All Around to add some defensive strokes, when is it efficient to start? When the attack style is completely confident or it's better to study all the strokes at the same time? Olena.
Question 2: I realize that in table tennis we use only one part of our hand (upper arm, lower arm, and wrist) so what is the time to use each part of it and can I combined them? Frendy.
Question 3: How to reply to a player who simply sends every shot back with push & chop shots? I feel like I am playing the ball against a wall. I start to think that I have to do something to end the rally and then I make the mistake & lose the point. Len Buffey.
Question 4: What advice can you give to changing the momentum in a match? I was recently up 2-0 in a match and lost all confidence after losing the 3rd set and continued to go downhill losing in 5.
Question 5: Is there difference between a lob and a fish? If yes, what is it? Kaustubh Kulkarni.
Question 1: Hi Alois! I have my first tournament of the season in a week and I want to practice my serves. One problem: I don't have any plastic balls. Is it bad to practice my serves with celluloid balls? Yoan Pelletier
Question 2: Do you other professionals who play with shakehand, use a specific or specialized grip to serve and then quickly shift to the shakehand for the majority of the point? Do you stay with the special grip after the serve? Cole Mooney
Question 3: I recently received advice to engage my thumb and apply pressure onto the rubber when backhand counterhitting. The advice improved my backhand but I don't know if should change especially if the rallies are transitioning BH to FH in a fast manner. Danny Ly
Question 4: Due to studies I didn't play table tennis for 1.5 months. I played today in an interschool tournament and I lost to a player whom I used to defeat every time. What is the reason of my defeat and how can I prepare for my state tournament. Shivam Goenka
Question 5: As a penhold player, should I hit with the other side of my bat? I tend to find that I can't have as much control as if I simply move more and use the same side of my bat. Colin Young

WETA TV
WETA TV came to MDTTC for about four hours yesterday to do a documentary on us online – I'll blog about it when it's up. Here's a picture of two of the crew members (there were three of them) as they film us, and here's a picture of them filming Derek Nie and Crystal Wang.
It was a long day. I normally coach Sunday mornings but I was off due to students studying for final exams, and so I had no coaching until 3PM. So I became their chaperone. We had arranged for them to come Sunday at 11AM so they could see some of our top juniors in a group session, and then our Elite League at 12:30 PM. They filmed Derek and Crystal, as well as Nathan Hsu and many others, often from a distance so the player didn't even know they were being filmed. Other times they'd go out on the court and get close-ups. I was hoping to highlight as many players as possible, from our top juniors to our seniors, including Charlene Liu, who recently returned from New Zealand with a bronze for Over 60 Women's Singles. (She also won Over 60 Women's Title at the Nationals and many more in age groups from over 30 to over 60.) However, they told me they could only focus on one or two players. They also didn't want to interview players and then disappoint the player by not using the interview, which is understandable.
They decided to focus on 13-year-old Derek and 12-year-old Crystal. Most of you probably know them, but here's a short synopsis. Derek, rated 2285 (but recently over 2300) was the 2012 U.S. Open Under 12 Boys' Singles Champion. Crystal is the youngest player ever to make the USA National Men's or Women's Team, and the youngest ever to win Under 22 Women's Singles at the Nationals, as well as breaking every record for highest rating for her age, not just for girls but for boys as well. (She's the highest rated under 13 player in the U.S, boys or girls at 2370, and recently over 2400.)
They did interviews with Crystal, Derek, and me. My interview was the longest interview I've ever done. It went on for about an hour as they asked question after question. Part of the reason it took so long as I gave rather long answers. Since they'll end up condensing all this to about four minutes, it'll be interesting which parts they decide to use. In answer to their questions, I elaborated on my background, the kids, MDTTC and its history, our coaches and players, training centers, China, what it takes to be a top player, and much more.
Now the downside. Before they interviewed me they filmed me using the robot. I put it on full speed so the balls were just shooting out as I smashed forehands. I had no trouble doing this at first, but they wanted to get lots of shots from all angles, and so it went on and On and ON!!! Soon my arm and shoulder began to tire, and then hurt, and still they kept filming. I felt my knees and legs begin to go, but still we went on. After the longest time, and after they'd filmed both me and the robot from all possible angles, they said they had enough.
They asked if I had anything else interesting I could show them. They filmed me doing my ball-blowing trick, where I not only blow the ball in the air, but to the side, balancing it in the air by spinning the top of the ball with my breath. Then I demonstrated my 50-foot serve, where I served from 50 feet away from the table, and directly to the side of it (so I'm lined up with the net). I do this by putting a great amount of sidespin on the ball, and made it on the first try. They wanted several more, so I ended up doing about ten of them. The problem – this put more strain on my shoulder, as these 50-foot serves are very physical.
And then I did the interview. I mentioned how long it was, but I didn't mention that I was standing in one spot the whole time in my table tennis shoes, which have little support. Normally when I'm in them I'm moving about, but guess what happens when you stand in one spot in table tennis shoes for an hour? It hurts the feet, calf muscles, and knees. I could barely walk afterwards. (I had to do a lot of stretching to prepare for my upcoming coaching sessions – a private one-hour lesson and then a 90-minute group junior session.)
So now I'm full of these minor injuries – every part of my legs are aching, one knee is bothering me (it was bothering me before, but this aggravated it), and my shoulder is hurting from the robot play. Hopefully it just needs a couple days rest – and fortunately I've got a very light schedule today and tomorrow. We'll see how it is on Wednesday.

Practical Ways to Overcome Nervousness
Sports psychology is one of the most under-utilized aspects of table tennis. One problem is that it's easy to get bogged down wading into all the literature on the subject. Here are some of the simple methods I use with students to overcome nervousness. Most of these I've done for years, though I've fine-tuned some after reading material and books from Dora Kurimay's table tennis sports psychology page.
Take all the nervousness and ball it up inside your stomach. Then cough it out your mouth, and toss it in the trash. It's surprising how well this simple mental exercise works.
Breathe deep into the stomach through your nose. Hold it for a couple of seconds. Then slowly exhale through the mouth. You'll be surprised at how this relaxes you. It's key that you exhale slowly.
Pick out something on the wall in the distance and just stare at it for 5-10 seconds. This clears the mind.
Watch the ball, both during and between points. This helps you to focus. That and simple tactics is all the conscious mind needs to do while letting the subconscious do the rest.
Imagine you are playing a match back at your club. It's just another match. Have fun!
Remember what Ariel Hsing used to write on her arm before every tournament: "Let go. Have fun." This works.
Focus on a few simple tactics. This gives your mind something else to do other than worry that your fate and the fate of humanity in general will be determined by the next few points.
Learn the three-second rule. Don't let anything in a match bother you for more than three seconds. Don't start another point until those three seconds are up and you are back to being the calm, clear-headed champion inside you that's dying to come out.
This Sunday WETA TV will come to my club (MDTTC) to do a segment on table tennis. They will likely come in around noon, though the exact time is not set. MDTTC has its Elite League on Sundays starting at 12:30, which is why they chose that time. All or most of the top MDTTC players and top juniors should be there.

The current marathon record is a speedy 02:02:57, run by Kenyan Dennis Kimetto at the Berlin marathon in 2014.
But that isn't good enough for Nike. Its ambition for 2017 is to break the two-hour barrier in a project called Breaking2. Funds shouldn't be a problem as Nike made $32 billion in 2015.
In order to make the attempt, Nike has put together a fantastic team of distance runners. They are Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, the recent Olympic marathon gold medallist, Zersenay Tadese from Eritrea, the current half-marathon record holder, and Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia who has won the Boston Marathon twice.
They will be training in Oregon and although details are being kept closely guarded we understand that the athletes will run a marathon on a closed course – and of course they will be kitted out with the highest tech runwear.
Nike says, "To run the perfect race, the athletes require the most innovative product. This is a critical pillar of the Breaking2 attempt, and where Nike is able to deliver unrivalled performance benefits. After years of extensive research and development, Breaking2 will debut a system of ground-breaking innovation that has the potential to elevate every runner."…….. intriguing!
Good luck to the athletes and the Nike team.


In everyone's life, there are growing experiences. People evolve not only physically as they get older but also ideologically. Perhaps they might become wiser or shrug off the trendy doctrines that may have tried to shape their destiny long ago.
Ralph Ellison illustrates this struggle of change in Invisible Man. The novel begins with a naïve young, black man in the South caught under the evil boot of racism. As the novel progresses, the reader sees that the ideas portrayed in the novel evolve from inherently pro-communism to anti-communism by the ending.
Although appears solely as a diatribe against racism, it embodies an evolution of political thought and also a lifting of a figurative veil that has been placed over the narrator's eyes to blind him to the reality of the world. Even though his political thought culminates in an epiphany moment at the end of the novel, the veil is still evident in his life.

Q: Makeing a bootable iso file smaller I have a USB flash-drive with some bootable iso's on it and i need a way to make them smaller they must keep the iso file extension and they must be bootable just like they were before. Does any one know how i could do this. Thanks in advance.

A: MagicISO has its UIF format and PowerISO has a DAA format. Both image formats can be mounted without extracting, but are not be bootable.
Most ISO tools let you "compress" an ISO file, such as described here for MagicISO. I'm not sure what that does exactly, but you could try that.
Bottom line: bootable ISO images have very limited options in terms of compression.

Adani Clermont
Adani ups Carmichael Mine site workforce in anticipation
by Renee Viellaris and Michael Madigan
13th Jun 2019 5:21 AM
Adani last night batted away an eleventh-hour legal win by conservation groups declaring it should not influence a final decision on the project by the State Government today.
After nine years, nine legal reviews and $3.7 billion to get it started, Adani was hoping today was day the false hope ended with the project to be given the green light.
The long-awaited, State Government groundwater approval for the Adani thermal coal project is due today just weeks after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was "sick" of the delays.
Adani has ramped-up its workforce at the Carmichael Mine site in anticipation it could start earthworks as early as Thursday.
The Co-ordinator General's expected tick-off of the groundwater plan will be heralded as a win for regional communities in north and Central Queensland, which have in part pinned their hopes on resuscitating their local economy with mining investment. About 1500 direct jobs and 6750 indirect jobs are expected to be created by the project.

However, the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) yesterday won a Federal Court appeal against the assessment of Adani's North Galilee Water Scheme, which relates to a Federal Environment and Energy Department's record-keeping error.
The ACF said the Federal Government failed to consider more than 2000 public submissions relating to concerns about the mine and the water scheme. The Department conceded the matter.
"Once again this case outcome shows the Federal Government failed to properly scrutinise Adani's proposed Galilee Basin coal mine,'' it said.
It means the approval for the North Galilee Water Scheme is now on hold and Adani needs hold further conversations with the Department on next steps.
An Adani spokeswoman said last night the North Galilee Water Scheme was not required to start construction of the Carmichael Mine and rail project.
The final State Government step for the preparatory works will be closely monitored by the Indian Government and investors across the Asia Pacific.
Publican Roger Vine who owns the Commercial Hotel in Clermont, the closest community to the mine, said the town was confident the green light would be given for Adani.
"No doubt about it," he said.
Mr Vine said the town had united against the Bob Brown-led convoy that opposed the mine.
"It will go ahead but we won't get any massive economic benefit to begin with.
"But it give us a lift and a big future."
An Adani spokeswoman said yesterday they were not taking anything for granted but were prepared.
"We currently have about 60 people within the onsite camp who have been undertaking stage one preliminary works within our current approvals,'' she said.
"For months now we have had equipment onsite to deliver stage one works under our existing approvals.
"This same equipment can also be used to commence stage two construction activities.
"Although we have been preparing to start construction for many months now, we will not pre-empt any approval decisions.
"Of course we are prepared, as we should be, but we will also not get ahead of ourselves and we will continue to focus on the task at hand, working constructively with the Department of Environment and science to finalise the Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem Management Plan."
Resources Minister Matt Canavan said he would wait for the Government's announcement because he could Labor's heart was in the project.
Senator Canavan said the mine was about jobs and the State Government could not afford another backflip.
The expected approval today allows Adani to only build the mine - not dig for coal.
More approvals will be needed in another two years to start digging the coal for export to India.
However, it is understood the hiring will start en masse, with a main contractor expected to be announced soon.
The long-running saga has featured heavily in the past federal and state election campaigns.
In the recent federal poll, anti-Adani activists who railed against the mine are believed to have shored-up support for the LNP in the key seats of Herbert, Dawson, Capricornia and Flynn.
In the 2017 state election campaign, Annastacia Palaszczuk said Labor would veto a $1 billion loan Adani wanted from the Commonwealth's Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility for a rail line connecting the mine to the coast.
The move was roundly considered a turning point in the campaign, in which anti-Adani activists clocked-up as a win.
The controversial project has had a number of iterations since Adani first submitted its project in October 2010. It was projected to mine up to 60 million tonnes of coal a year.
At the time, then premier Anna Bligh described it as a $10 billion coal and rail project.
It will now mine 10 million tonnes a year, supported by a 200km railway.

Now that the holidays are over, and the decorations are put away, you may be wondering what now? Remember that Spring is still several months away, and you're best bet for keeping your rooms inviting during the dead of winter is to add warmth and comfort. And if you are like me and don't have a lot of extra cash laying around after the holiday crunch, use these ideas to make major changes in your rooms, for minor cash.
1.Rearrange. Create more intimate furniture arrangements, or just try something new! Move seating to create areas where people can easily talk, or group them around the fireplace or other focal point.
2.Use candles! Candles are relatively inexpensive, and should not be saved just for special occasions! Group them together, combine them with plants, or set them in front of a mirror. If you feel using them too often will cramp your budget, set aside one meal a week where you ceremoniously use them, such as Sunday dinner.
3.Place throw blankets casually over chairs and sofas for your loved ones to cuddle up in. A great way to buy these inexpensively is to check your fabric store for clearance sales on polar fleece. Buy 1 to 1 ½ yards for each throw, then use scissors to cut fringe on the two ends. This fabric doesn't fray, comes in a wide array of patterns and solids, and does not need to be hemmed or sewn! I bought enough for several and paid less than five dollars for each throw! Oh, and did I mention it is extremely soft and warm?
5.Layer your fabrics! Add one or two topper fabrics to your tables, layer several towels over each other in your bath and kitchen, add a valance to your window treatments. Remember this doesn't have to be expensive, use leftover fabric from your other projects, visit your local thrift store, or use unused quilts, coverlets, sheets, tablecloths, and cloth napkins from your linen closet.
All of these ideas are quick, easy, and inexpensive , and can be used throughout your rooms. So take a few hours and see how little changes can create cozy comfort in your own home.
