I think the word you're looking for is PSYCHOTIC. "Weird" doesn't even begin to cover what that girl is...
StoryOfTheYear 13
My guess is her mind was not very stable, at least at the moment, if she yells WHY!?! at random people going by. The only sympathy she gets from me is that I'm sure ending a relationship must suck.
66mustangrocks 4
Have any of you ever been in love? When you're with someone for awhile and they break up with you, your whole world crashes down and leaves you empty. Obviously OP is a heartless dick if he felt nothing about the breakup
Way to jump to conclusions 59. I'm pretty sure he felt emotions and other things, but like a civilized human being he was able to control himself.
elmousey 5
Well put 59, based on the replies you can tell a lot of these people have never been in any relationship. I'm amazed that people think this girl is psychotic simply because she's heartbroken and showing emotion. Most relationships don't end like "Hi! I've brought you to this public place and I want to break up with you ok?" "Yea ok, bye! Have a good day!"
71- I, for one, wouldn't use the word psychotic to describe her. I simply saw this as an unnecessary reaction. There are a lot of things we can consider an emotional reaction. While we shouldn't be emotionless zombies, we shouldn't let our emotions control us. Yes, I see this is a delicate situation, but do you not see this big of a reaction as unnecessary at all? Also, this would more than likely have been handled better in a private place. Bad planning on OPs part.
jemiller226 13
Maybe he broke up with her because he was tired of the childish emotional outbursts, and he figured that doing it in public might be a way to prevent another embarrassing outburst. Either way, if this is how she reacts to disappointment, he made the right move. What if there was an emergency? You think that clown would be able to handle herself in it? Yeah, I doubt it.

Or she's sitting on the floor outside, or in a public place, just a thought, I could be wrong though
Well, it's not considered a floor once you are outside, but my first thought was that it was at either of their houses or apartments. I don't see why he would break up with her in a public place either. I'm sure it happens, but that wasn't my first thought. My apologies.
Hockeyboy4280 18
No, it's still considered a floor if you're inside a public place (like a restaurant). perfect example, a casino refers to their gamblicg section as "the main FLOOR". Anyways, moving on. As for breaking up in a public place, a lot of people do it so there's no scene caused. People tend to carry themselves differently around other people, trying to keep a sense manners and etiquette. However, this backfired on OP. Breaking up publicly also prevents danger...
44- LOL... I said "outside". Obviously I consider a public building to be not outside. I do leave my house every so often, contrary to popular belief. Also I quite clearly said my first thought was not of them breaking up in a public building. I followed this by "My apologies" which probably can be interpreted to mean I saw that I was wrong. Your entire comment is quite redundant, sir.

Flag of Ukraine
Ukraine's flag consists of two equally sized horizontal bands of blue and yellow. The top represents the blue sky and the yellow represents wheat. The combination of blue and yellow can be traced back to the 12th century as it represents the land of Ukraine. From the point of view of psychology, the blue color symbolizes calm, and the yellow color symbolizes joy.
Location: Eastern Europe
Capital: Kyiv
Population: about 43,922,939 people
Official Language: Ukrainian
Land: 603,628 km²
GDP; GDP per Capita: $150.401 billion; 3,592.17 (2019)
Religion: Christianity
Ukraine, also known as "The Ukraine" or "Ukraynia", is a country located in Eastern Europe. The country was established in 1917 and declared its independence in 1918 after the Russian Civil War; however, it gained its independence in 1991 as it no longer had to follow the laws of USSR. Ukraine was once an important part of the USSR by having fertile black soil, which accounted for more than one fourth of Soviet agricultural output, and its farms provided meat, milk, grain, and vegetables; More than that, its diversified heavy industry supplied unique equipment, and other raw materials to industrial and mining sites in other regions of the former USSR. Despite that Ukraine is currently a developing country, but due to conflicts in the eastern border and trade wars with Russia had hurt Ukraine's growing economy, making it one of the poorest country in Europe.
Signing the Agreement to eliminate the USSR and establish the Commonwealth of Independent States
Ukraine's Capital, Kyiv, includes a wide variety of old-fashion buildings and historical landmarks
Kyiv's Metro/Subway
Kyiv's landmarks consists of many Ukraine's tourist attractions. Also, it is safe and far from the war area down in the southern east.
Note: Some part of Ukraine such as Crimea had been occupied by Russia, so, the freedom house score doesn't show the opinions from the specific areas.
Ukraine is a republic with a presidential-parliamentary system of government.
President: Володимир Олександрович Зеленський
Prime Minister: Денис Анатолійович Шмигаль
Despite the presidential election seems to be democratic, the government has been expanding its power and trying to pressure media and protests. Also, the authorities had been involved with corruption, abuse of power, impunity... etc.
Ukraine's President
Ukraine is mainly an industrial country due to its sufficient natural resources including coal and iron. Besides, the fertile "black soil" allows grains such as wheat or other plants to be grown. Ukraine export goods like metals, fuel and petroleum products, chemicals, machinery and transport equipment, food products...
Despite that Ukraine is currently a developing country with abundant natural resources, but due to conflicts in the eastern borders and trade wars with Russia, they had hurt Ukraine's growing economy; besides, the high poverty rate and corruptions had made this eastern-European country the poorest country in Europe.
Iron Facilities
Ukraine has its own unique history focused on Kyiv and the regions near it, which had cultivated their own ethnic group and had made the people proud of their culture in spite of the struggling independence, which is amazing that the Ukrainians are able to retain and observe their traditions.
Knowledge Day
Knowledge Day originated in the USSR, where it had been established by the USSR in 1984. It is one of Ukraine's national holidays which is basically the first day of school.
Thanks to the fertile "Black Soil" Ukraine have, Ukraine has a prosperous agriculture, which leads to a wide variety of dishes, developing its own cuisines.

First, the property needs to be listed at market price. This is determined by a Comparative Market Analysis, which will show you what similar properties are currently on the market in your area, which have sold, and which were on the market but didn't sell. Why don't some properties sell? Because they're overpriced.
Second, you need to have your property well presented in the marketplace. This means a number of things, including professional photos and floorplans. Taking photos of a property with an iphone and posting them online just doesn't cut it, and shows that the realtor is not willing to take the time and spend the money to present your home properly. Poor photos obviously won't help your property sell and they're sometimes worse than no photos at all! The realtor should always have photos taken at their expense.
Third, when interest is generated in your property, it is critical for your realtor to contact everyone who has visited it, to see if he or she can generate more interest. This can result in multiple offers at once, which puts the seller in control, and provides the best opportunity for the highest price. And even during the multiple offer process, a skilled listing realtor can generate several rounds of bidding, resulting in an impressive sale price.
We have had considerable success in generating multiple offers on many properties, in some cases getting several hundred thousand dollars over the asking price. If you are thinking of selling your house, we'd be happy to give you an honest and accurate market evaluation of it, so you know where you stand, and what your options are. There is never any cost or obligation attached to this.


I would be extremely worried if my vehicle was suddenly showing fuel usage of30 litres per hundred ks even for short periods of time.This is twice the fuel usage per normal , it is highly unlikely the motor is burning it.Over fueling kills diesels,eg washing oil off bores,diesel getting into the engine oil etc.I would smell your engine oil to see if any in it ,pronto !!
Instant, easy, boot the diesel in 3rd or 4th (5sp box) and it will go to the end of the scale (30 ltrs/hundred) and then drop back.
Until you hook up the BlueDriver we are all guessing what is happening.!! The only other advice would be to take it to somebody like Berrima Diesel (who know diesels backwards !!)and put it on the dyno to see if you can replicate the problem under load etc.

On the way to the dealer( went in for the brake booster fix again) this morning while waiting at the lights (busy intersection and peak hour) the engine started to run rough and lower in rpm, I managed to coax it till the lights went green again although it wouldn't rev up at all. Lights went green, put it in drive and it crawled forward to make a right hand turn at less than walking speed but I continued on and turned as the lights turned orange and made it off the intersection to a chorus of horns.
Maybe the fuel relay replacement from the original TSB failing?
Bob way back when our 2012 had only 25K up we were travelling south on the Newell towing the van at around 100kph when it shut down completely - without warning and with only the engine management light lit. Without going any further about how scary that was - the vehicle was trucked to Orange where the diagnosis was fuel rail sensor high.
Dealer wanted to simply reset but I refused and it took 2 weeks for a new fuel rail (the sensor is integrated) to be sourced and fitted.
For the rest of its life with us (another 90K) the thing was gorgeous - and we went again with a 2015 - again gorgeous.
At the time I made a huge fuss with the dealer principal and Jeep Au about the complete and sudden shutdown and it may be that the software has been changed to limp rather than shut down.
OK - this wasn't much help - except that AFAIK you can't just get a fuel rail sensor it has to be the complete rail.
I think you may be on the track though suspecting the TIPM may be involved somehow.
Will keep fingers crossed for a fix.


Appearing on Wednesday's Dale & Holley show, Red Sox manager John Farrell said that Mike Napoli, who injured his left ring finger while sliding head-first into second base Tuesday night, is still day-to-day. Farrell noted Napoli's finger has no fracture or ligament issues and will be day-to-day (sitting out Wednesday night's game) while he waits for the swelling to go down. Farrell also said Dustin Pedroia, who hadn't started since Saturday due to a sore left wrist, will be in the leadoff spot Wednesday night. Pedroia underwent a cortisone shot Monday and re-appeared in the ninth inning Tuesday when pinch-running for Napoli. Koji Uehara was scheduled to throw a bullpen Wednesday, with Farrell saying the closer continues to progress from a sore right shoulder.

Janes Party
Jane's Party
The Cameron House in Toronto, ON
Review by: Natalia Buia
Photos by: Amanda Fotes
To raise money to record their next EP, Jane's Party called out to a few of their best band friends and a party ensued at The Cameron House on April 20th.
The fine people of The Take Media presented the pay-what-you-can fundraiser for Jane's Party. The four-piece ensemble has the same charisma, personality and promise that, if they worked really hard (not that they don't already) and gained more experience and played bigger venues, can be compared to some of the best bands of all time, e.g., The Beatles, The Kinks, The Band. A rather bold statement to make but I personally have tremendous faith in this up-and-coming Toronto band. I know Jeff Giles (keys/guitar/vocals), Devon Richardson (bass), Tom Ionescu (guitar) and Zach Sutton (drums) can shoot for the moon.
The night started off in a peppy manner as Devon, Tom and Jeff blended their vocal harmonies together to such songs as "No Good For Me" and "Don't Lay Me Down For Love" off 2009's The Garage Sessions. Their first full-length album was released just a year after the band's emergence. Now, two years later, the band seems eager and willing to distribute a follow-up.
As mentioned, Jane's Party has friends in high places. Members of The Gramercy Riffs, The Rucksack Willies and Tender Lion each joined the quartet on the compact stage to cover tunes ranging from Neil Young's "Helpless" to Beatles classics to bouncy ditties unbeknownst to me. Having special guests share the mics with Jane's Party made the three sets noteworthy (although, no actual notes were taken, as too many drinks were drank and too many laughs were had courtesy of funny man/drummer Zach Sutton).
While Jane's Party is the kind of band that's very easy on the eyes, they're even easier on the ears. Trust me on this one.

Musician Donates Album Proceeds to Mental Health America
Brandon Fox is a singer from Chicago. His style is a mix between R&B and pop, with inspiration taken from Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, and Stevie Wonder.
Fox's current path was shaped by two parents heavily affected by mental health issues. Both parents struggled with addiction and self-medication, to the point where Fox's father committed suicide. Seeing his own risk rise, Fox turned to music as therapy.
"It [mental illness] attacked our family like cancer," he said in a video made earlier this year, announcing his partnership with Mental Health America.
Back in April, Fox launched an album called Remedy, inspired by his personal struggle with mental health, his family, and how the obstacles to seeking treatment shaped his life. He pledged to donate the entirety of Remedy's profits to Mental Health America.
Mental Health America is a nonprofit that dates back to 1909, focused on addressing the mental health care needs of all. Their philosophy is that conditions should be treated early and seriously. The goal? To halt or reverse progressive symptoms and give each person their best chance at an overall healthy life.
Fox's Remedy album spent a week in the top 30 chart on iTunes when it was released. While it is unknown as to exactly how much the album raised for charity, the response on Fox's fanpage has been warm and positive.
On Saturday, November 10, Fox will be upping his contribution via a free benefit show at Bassline in Chicago, with all donations going to Mental Health America. In an interview with WGN Radio, Fox said the show will include several new pieces, which will act as unofficial additions to the Remedy album
Tickets to the Saturday night show are free, with a suggested $5 minimum donation. Bassline is located at 2239 S. Michigan Avenue, and the show begins at 6 pm.

Andrew Castle: It's a joy to cover Wimbledon with tennis legends
Adam Drury
The lead BBC commentator, whose voice is synonymous with so much tennis history, discusses his career, Andy Murray, and the sport's great modern era.
Let it never be said that Wimbledon is taken for granted.
After the tournament was postponed in 2020, its return brings with it a degree of comfort, familiarity and excitement to the British sporting summer, even for those so accustomed to being there.
"It's just unbelievable to be back", says Andrew Castle, former British No. 1 and the BBC's lead tennis commentator at Wimbledon, where Novak Djokovic is favourite to lift the 2021 men's singles title in the latest sports betting.
"I was sitting next to John McEnroe on the first day and he was just delighted, too. Even off-mic, he was saying how wonderful it is."
The last 16 months have reminded everybody how fragile seemingly ordinary life events are, but Castle has always known how privileged he is to witness tennis' most prestigious event from the best seat in the house, alongside three-time champion McEnroe and other greats.
Not that the job just falls into your lap. Castle put in years of graft before finally landing the gig that any tennis broadcaster dreams of on prime-time BBC One television.
"I remember being up in Slaley Hall in Northumberland during the first week of Wimbledon," he says. "I was covering the golf for Sky Sports.
"I was sitting there in my room thinking: 'It's a bit mad that I'm doing the golf when all this tennis is going on'. I called an old friend who was actually in charge of the Wimbledon broadcast and managed to get on board with that, luckily.
"My first commentary was a Rafael Nadal match out on court 12, and I remember him standing out.
"It grew from there. Now I get to sit in the Centre Court commentary box with these legends watching guys like Nadal and Roger Federer. How lucky is that?"
Golf wasn't the only unfamiliar sport that Castle commentated on before his big break.
While his first post-playing job was hosting tennis broadcasts for Sky – "I worked with Sue Barker in a small airless box in a car park in Isleworth" – he covered golf, basketball and 'became the No. 1 anorak of all time' on Daytona 500 through the 1990s.
Society often questions those who made their name doing one thing when they try to do something else.
But Castle says he was able to ignore that noise when, as a notorious ex-tennis player, he begun covering other sports and took the job as host of GMTV in 2000.
"I don't really know what qualifies you to commentate or present on any particular subject other than a vigorous amount of research to do it justice," he says.
"I remember covering the international Horse of the Year Show from Olympia. I knew nothing about horses until I learned everything there was to learn from the people in the game.
"If I'm interviewing the Prime Minister on GMTV, I'm preparing a set of questions that I want to know the answer to. That's based on journalism.
"People might say: 'What's a tennis player doing working on this?'. Well, I have done the work, so now I'll wear whichever hat somebody wants me to wear."
But tennis, especially Wimbledon, remains Castle's first love.
Though the championship is only held for a fortnight between the end of June and early July, the 57-year-old says that the beauty of the All England Club raises the hairs on the back of his neck all year round.
"It's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Wimbledon so special," he says. "I could say that the tennis and the atmosphere is what brings it to life, but it still gets you even when it's dormant and sleeping.
"I have goosebumps when I arrive and nobody's around. It's just one of the great privileges to call it my place of work."
On no day has that privilege been more greatly emphasised than 7 July 2013, when Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic to become the first British man to win the singles title in the Open Era.
Castle remembers delivering the winning line to tens of millions of viewers like it was yesterday.
"Kenneth Wolstenholme used up the greatest winning line ever in 1966," he says, "so I was under pressure to come up with something!
"Ultimately, you don't plan a winning line. The great thing about commentary is that you can use silence as a tool, and let the pictures do the work.
"Murray had three championship points at 40-0 up in the final game, lost them all, and was back at 40-40. The director pushed into Murray's eyes and what you could see was a man trying with all of his heart and soul, feeling every emotion going.
"It was a beautiful shot. All I had to do was give a little line and back off. Throughout that game I kind of knew it was my job to lead viewers through the emotional turmoil.
"Something like 72 per cent of UK televisions were watching, so that was quite a responsibility. Hopefully we did it justice."
Murray continues to surprise and elate UK tennis fans in 2021, winning two Centre Court classics in the first three days of the championship before eventually losing his third match.
After hip surgery seemed to have all but ended his career, it's a pleasure – both as a fan and from a journalistic perspective – for Castle to still be covering one of the great British sportspeople.
"He said after his first match that he can't understand why people keep asking him if this might be the end," Castle says, "which is just perfect, really, because there's no feeling like winning.
"He's still doing it, he can still compete. Why would you stop? He's still thrilled that he's out there, as am I."
Murray has contributed to an era of tennis that has been extraordinary to cover for the man whose voice is synonymous with all of the classic finals.
Federer, Nadal and Novak Djokovic have produced an era of dominance and brilliance that seems unlikely to be topped. For Castle, it all begun in 2008 when Nadal met Federer in a third consecutive Wimbledon final, and finally beat him.
"That match changed the game," he says. "The gold standard of tennis improved in one match. They pushed each other to mad limits.
"I remember it was Tim Henman's first Wimbledon final as a commentator. We both sat there in the commentary box in shock and awe.
"Of course, since then there have been more, mainly featuring Djokovic. He has just quietly won five Wimbledons – I remember the 2018 semi-final against Nadal, particularly. Another mind-boggling match.
"Nadal with his determination and muscularity is genius, but I have to say I think I've seen the best tennis come from Novak's racquet. He came to the party slightly after the other two, but I think he might have been the most remarkable."
Winning the title on 11 July would see the Serb level up with Nadal and Federer on 20 Grand Slams – the three highest tallies of all time in the men's game.
Journalistically, nothing could top that as the story of the fortnight.
"Nothing's ever enough for the great players," Castle says. "It's felt like Federer's era for so long but to watch Djokovic draw level with him and Nadal would be something quite astonishing to cover."
Putting his voice to yet another moment of history is something Castle is used to, but will never get tired of.

І́гор Дми́трович По́клад  — український композитор та опермейстер. Лауреат Шевченківської премії (1986). Заслужений діяч мистецтв УРСР (1989). Народний артист України (1997). Герой України (2021). Член НСКУ.

Біографія
Народився в місті Фрунзе (тепер Бішкек, Киргизстан) у родині кадрового військового під час евакуації. Після закінчення сином II СВ родина повернулася в Україну, де в 1957 році Ігор закінчив СШ № 4 в місті Тернопіль та одночасно семирічну музичну школу по класу фортепіано. У тому ж 1957 розпочав навчання на історико-теоретичному відділенні КІМ ім. Глієра. По закінченні третього курсу Поклад перевівся на композиторський факультет Київської державної консерваторії, клас професора А. Я. Штогаренка, яку закінчив в 1967 році.

Ще навчаючись в училищі і працюючи там само концертмейстером, робить перші серйозні кроки у творчості — вже перша пісня, написана ним у співавторстві з Борисом Олійником «Пісня не заблукає», виконана Костянтином Огнєвим, стає популярною.

1966 року до Поклада звертаються чиновники мінкульту з пропозицією організувати дівочий співочий колектив. Ігор Поклад створює унікальний на ті часи проект — вокально-інструментальний ансамбль «Мрія». Вже за перший рік свого існування колектив входить у всесоюзну гастрольну мережу. За кілька років «Мрія» стає лауреатом Всесоюзного конкурсу артистів естради, поряд з легендарними на той час «Піснярами». 1968 року Поклад вимушений припинити керування колективом через відбуття до лав Радянської армії. В армії познайомився з поетом-початківцем, згодом метром української пісні, Юрієм Рибчинським. Разом вони створюють кілька знаменитих хітів та стають широковідомими.

Під час російського вторгнення 2022 року його будинок замінували окупанти.

Театральна творчість
1973 року Ігор Дмитрович вирішив спробувати свої сили в театрі, він погоджується на пропозицію розпочати роботу над продовженням музичної п'єси «Весілля в Малинівці».
З готовим твором він та Рибчинський прибули до Одеського театру оперети. Рішення про постанову версії Поклада було прийнято одноголосно і практично миттєво.

Наступною роботою опермейстера стала «Конотопська відьма», написана в 1982 році ця оперета й досі не сходить зі сцен українських театрів. За словами театральних критиків ця п'єса вже давно стала класикою жанру. Усього за кілька років з'явилося ще півтора десятка мюзиклів.

У кінематографі
У пошуках нових вражень Поклад займався у галузі кінематографу, розпочавши співпрацю з режисером Леонідом Биковим та написавши музику до одного з його фільмів «Де ви, лицарі?». Загалом композитор працював у більш ніж 40-ка художніх фільмах. Найприкрішою своєю помилкою Ігор Дмитрович вважав відмову від роботи у фільмі «В бій ідуть тільки "старики"». Також перу композитора належить музика до класичних мультиплікаційних стрічок «Як козаки…» та «Енеїда».

За нових часів амбіційні творчі проекти за браком засобів довелось згорнути. 2014 року переніс кілька складних операцій. Певний час співпрацював з Академічним ансамблем пісні і танцю ДПСУ. У 2022 пережив російську окупацію, був евакуйований у числі багатьох інших мешканців Ворзеля.

Some of the world's hopes for Africa are resting on the sweet potato. Long a staple in many African diets, sweet potatoes are the world's seventh largest crop. The white starchy sweet potato indigenous to Africa, however, pales in comparison to the nutrient-rich orange sweet potato, with a sightly sweet taste, so familiar to North Americans.
Orange sweet potatoes are a rich source of beta carotene—the chemical the body uses to produce vitamin A, which in turn strengthens our immune system and eyesight. Because the lack of vitamin A in the East African diet has led to a prevalence of disease, especially among children, crop scientists and world organizations are working hard to encourage the growth of the orange sweet potato.
But it's a complicated process, involving planting the new crop, teaching farmers how to maintain it and encouraging the population to cook and enjoy the sweeter, wetter variety of sweet potato. Currently, there are programs motivating African mothers to incorporate the new variety into their families' diets.
Originating in South America, the sweet potato spread around the world because it is easy to grow and has relatively few natural enemies. Sweet potatoes belong to the Convolvulaceae or morning glory plant family. In East Africa, the white variety has been cultivated for many centuries; small farmers rely on it as a dependable crop and tasty food source, sometimes the only one available.
The combination of peanut butter and sweet potatoes in our soup recipe here may seem incongruous, but think of it as a savoury peanut butter and jam entree, with the vegetable's sweet taste countering the richness of the nuts. The flavours of this West African soup are satisfying and delectable, and its combination of protein and nutrients (especially when using orange-coloured sweet potatoes) makes it a delicious dish on its own or with a freshly dressed salad, and is a reflection of your sweet taste in recipes.
This healthy and exotic-tasting soup is satisfying and rich without being heavy. We've taken some liberties with flavouring; adding lime juice is not a traditional addition, but very suited to our modern multicultural taste buds.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 10 minutes or until soft and lightly golden.
Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add cumin, coriander, cayenne and cloves and stir until onions are coated with spices. Add carrot, turn heat to low, cover pot and let cook for 5 minutes or until carrot is beginning to soften.
Add sweet potato, canned tomatoes and stock, stir, turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover pot, turn heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are very soft.
Use a hand-held immersion or regular blender to purée soup until it is smooth. Return to pot, add peanut butter and whisk until combined. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste and stir in lime juice.
Serve soup topped with green onions and cilantro.

Cherry Smith
Bachelor of Teaching, Master of Education
Ngāi Te Rangi
Waikato Taught Postgraduate Scholarship
Once a high school drop-out, now a masters student with first class honours, Cherry Smith has come a long way. At the University of Waikato, Cherry has found pathways to grow her love of teaching, developed a fascination with life transitions, and discovered a lot about herself along the way.
Living in Taranaki, Cherry chose the University of Waikato for the Faculty of Education's strong reputation and its ability to accommodate distance-learning students. She enrolled in a Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) in 2009.
"After talking to a school principal I respected about which university he'd hire teachers from, I decided Waikato was the right choice," Cherry says. "This was re-affirmed when friends who had studied here agreed they'd found Waikato very supportive."
While completing her bachelor's degree, Cherry sometimes stayed at Te Kohinga Mārama Marae on the Hamilton campus. During one week-long noho, Cherry discovered she was related to the kaiwhakahaere/manager of the marae, who knew where her great-grandfather was from.
"It was incredible to finally find out the iwi/hapū I am affiliated with, Ngāi Te Rangi," she says. "I had been searching for years for information about my maternal great-grandfather, but without success. I'm not often stuck for words, but I was that day!"
After finishing her degree then working as a primary school teacher for four years in Waitara, an opportunity arose to study and be paid her teacher's salary. Then, after her first year of study, received the Waikato Taught Postgraduate Scholarship.
"I jumped at the chance to do paid study and decided to start my Master of Education – it was like winning lotto."
While studying for her masters, Cherry took a human development transitions paper, an experience she calls "life-changing".
"I began to see transitions everywhere and the theoretical knowledge I gained helped to explain some unsettling transitions in my own life," she says. "I became fascinated by life transitions and the impact they have on us all."
Cherry is now a part-time tutor at the University of Waikato. She hopes to one day develop an alternative, sustainable education system primarily for students who do not "fit the mainstream".

For someone drawn to historical past, the actual strains of the previous, specially historic locations, carry a distinct fascination. if it is a battlefield or the house of a amazing American, there isn't any query that we comprehend the previous in a special and extra instant method once we come across it "on the ground."
In American Places, greater than dozen of America's so much talented historians write approximately their very own encounters with old locations, bringing a private standpoint to endure on a large choice of websites, starting from Monticello to Fenway Park. the following James M. McPherson writes in regards to the battlefield of Gettysburg, and the way jogging the floor of Pickett's cost encouraged certainly one of his books. Kevin Starr visits the Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood and reveals a few of the flavors of California historical past there. Joel Williamson takes a bemused travel of Elvis Presley's Graceland, and David Kennedy tells the tale of the "Pig battle" of San Juan Island, the place a spat among Britain and the US over a speck of land within the Pacific helped make certain the form of the U.S. and Canada. William Freehling compares locations, Charleston's Battery and New Orleans' Jackson sq., exhibiting how each one unearths different spirit of the society that created it. And Edward Ayers talks approximately spending time in our on-line world, america, a digital position that has a lot in universal with the the United States visited via Alexis de Tocqueville a century and a part in the past. different items contain Robert Dallek at the FDR Memorial, David Hackett Fischer at the Boston universal, and William Leuchtenburg on his local borough of Queens.
American Places celebrates the occupation of Sheldon Meyer, who over his years at Oxford collage Press has released a few of our so much uncommon historians, together with many Pulitzer Prize and Bancroft Prize winners, almost all of whom have contributed to this volume.
Listening to the scoop from South the United States on the flip of the millennium should be like touring in time: listed here are the pains of Pinochet, the searches for "the disappeared" in Argentina, the research of the loss of life of former president Goulart in Brazil, the Peace fee in Uruguay, the Archive of Terror in Paraguay, a fact fee in Peru.
Upward push of the West is an epistemology of these issues dearest to the Nationalist: his prior, his spirit, his blood, his technics and, most crucial, his destiny. With such a lot of of Western man's life-force being denied him, and the vestiges of what used to be hard-won now being methodically, and irrevocably misplaced to the machinations of what the writer calls, the trendy, the increase of the West seeks to stroll the reader via racial, and extra in particular, [our] American racial historical past, in a fashion which either elucidates, and turns into an highbrow primer for the values, mores, and ideas that are top expressed as Race-Culture, that which turns into our "will to specific" and the very extension of our have to live on, and continue to exist intact, protecting the legacy of lifestyles left to us by means of our mother and father.
Zen and the paintings of neighborhood background is an interesting, interactive dialog that conveys the fascinating nature of neighborhood historical past. Divided into six significant topics the e-book covers the scope and breadth of neighborhood background: • Being an area Historian • issues and resources • Staying proper • Getting it correct • Writing historical past • historical past OrganizationsEach bankruptcy positive factors one in all Carol Kammen's memorable editorials from historical past information.
First released in 2005, this encyclopedia demonstrates that the millennium from the autumn of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance used to be a interval of serious highbrow and functional success and innovation. In Europe, the Islamic international, South and East Asia, and the Americas, participants equipped on previous achievements, brought occasionally radical refinements and laid the principles for contemporary improvement.


Knightshade the iconic rock / hard rock kiwi band that formed in Te Puke back in the early 1980's, is making a comeback with their new single U Say which is due for release 29/09/17. This is the first of four delicious new songs. Knightshade may have played their last concert back in August 2016, but that does not mean they have stopped recording new material, I get the feeling this may have surprised and delighted a lot of fans.
And that's not all folks; a full length live DVD featuring footage for the bands final performance at the Altitude Venue in Hamilton in 2016 is due for release hopefully at the end of this year. I can practically feel the excitement building.
Knightshade's fan base is an extremely loyal bunch, there are people that have been going to their gigs and listening to their music since 1982. I know because I am one of them. As soon as Wayne starts singing, memories from the 80's start flooding in. The people the parties the moments.
These guys have been around the block and back again with line-up changes, several top 20 singles, support for some major names in the music industry, going their separate ways, reuniting and also ill health, but they are as tight as ever and still have that magic sound which is pure Knightshade as you can hear when U Say starts to play.
I did a spot of Social Media snooping to see what the fans think of U Say, all we are getting at the moment is a teaser until it is released and airplay from various broadcasters up and down the country. The enthusiasm and anticipation for the band's latest release is impressive, there are loads of very positive comments using descriptive expletives which I can't repeat.
What is my opinion? I hear you ask, well I am about to tell you.
Travelling through the archives of articles and clips was like a trip down memory lane. I have fond memories of "The Hilly", or fuzzy recollections either/or due to the amount of Waikato consumed. Listening to U Say was like listening to snippets of You Don't Need Me (1988), it is verging on the precipice of a rock ballad with those meaningful lyrics and dramatic instrumentals, you instantly know it's Knightshade when you hear it, Kiwi rock through and through.
The current accomplished line-up of the band which is Wayne Elliott (vocals), Rik Bernards (guitar), Scott Williams (drums), Craig Pollock (guitar), Neil McDonald (bass) and Kingsley Smith on keyboard, have been solid for a while know, the release of the up and coming four singles and DVD is like a gift to their fans.
As my fellow assessor of Kiwi musical arts said "call me a Bogan if you will", but I am off to slip into my black jeans, crank the stereo and head down memory lane for a while, Waikato Willy may not be joining me, but these days I don't need it to appreciate the band called Knightshade.
Knightshade is a New Zealand rock/hardrock group. They formed in Te Puke in 1982. The band based themselves in Hamilton in the mid-1980s when the line-up changed. The line-up then consisted of Wayne Elliott (vocals), Alan Grady (drums), Rik Bernards (guitar), Jon Bell (bass), Paul Martin (guitar). Paul left the band and Gavin Lind rejoined. This was the lineup that performed and recorded the majority of their work. Craig Pollock replaced Gavin Lind on guitar in 1991. They have had several top 20 singles and have supported major touring acts including Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Bon Jovi, Jimmy Barnes, The Angels, Iggy Pop and Guns 'N' Roses. They have also released several EPs, a live album and a 'best of' studio album in 1995. Knightshade are still based in Hamilton.
The band went their separate ways in 1997, but after a 14-year hiatus they reunited in 2010 and released a new single, Rough at the Top, a year later. On June 6, 2014, the band finally returned to the public stage and gave a long-anticipated gig in Hamilton at the Altitude, with several further gigs the same year. 2015 saw the band grow and plant their feet more firmly on the ground, with the help from their latest line-up, including; Scott Williams on drums, Neil McDonald on bass, and Kingsley Smith on Keyboards. Wayne, Rik, and Craig remained the core original members of the band as the KS machine gathered momentum from its Hamilton home base. Knightshade were invited to perform as part of the bill for the infamous Gemini party, hosted by Paul Martin, May 31, 2015. The headlining act was Devilskin with Medusa Glare also appearing on the same bill. The rest of 2015 saw the band working on new material and honing the new line-up. On November 6, 2015, they performed at the Mount, at the newly opened Totara Street venue. This was their first gig in the Bay area in almost 20 years. It was a kind of 'coming home' gig for Wayne and Rik, who originally came from the Bay of Plenty area. (Wayne from Te Puke and Rik from Whakatane). The gig was a great success and marked a new era for Knightshade with a tight new line-up.
Recording sessions started for the new material towards the end of 2015 and into 2016, but were stalled after Wayne returned for more chemo treatment. After 3 or 4 months of this, Wayne's health temporarily returned and the band decided to announce one final gig, scheduled for 6th of August 2016. The band rehearsed for nearly 3 months, with Gael Ludlow joining them to add her legendary vocals for the song Out for the Count. By the time of the gig, the Altitude venue in Hamilton had sold out, with people coming from all over New Zealand for their last chance to experience the band live. Some fans even flew across the Tasman Sea to see the gig. It was a very special night with the band performing for over 2 hours. A camera crew filmed the concert and have been slowly editing the footage for a full length Live DVD. (hopefully due out at the end of 2017). At the same time, the band have been polishing their new single, U Say, due out 29th of October 2017. This is the first of 4 new songs to be released by Knightshade over the next few months.

Best Friend of George Soros and Billionaire Short-Sellers: The Republicans!
By Brent Budowsky - 03/27/09 11:42 AM EDT
Here is the hypocrisy and hilarity of the recent attack on George Soros by Republican John Feehery. The economic policies championed by Feehery and other Republicans provide huge windfall profits for Soros and everyone else in his situation. In fact, Soros gets a great deal from Feehery, who is Soros's de facto lobbyist, and does it for free! This reminds me of the saying "Never give a sucker an even break," with Feehery in this case being the sucker (for Soros), and Americans being the sucker (for Republicans).
Speaking of suckers, how about Republican Alan Greenspan, whose policies made a mighty contribution to this mess, taking as a major client a short-selling firm (Paulson and Co.) that made billions betting against America and against Greenspan's policies at the Fed! (I formally confirmed with Greenspan's office that Paulson and Co. is indeed a client.) Couldn't Alan Greenspan make his fortune with clients who don't bet against Greenspan's policies and bet against America?
Back to Feehery — every time he advocates tax cuts for the wealthy, he is putting money in the pockets of George Soros. He is putting money in the pockets of billionaire short-sellers betting against America. Ditto Doug Heye, who may attack Bernie Madoff, but whose policies benefited Madoff immensely.
Gotta love these Republicans. Zillionaires making money and avoiding taxes through offshore accounts? They can count on the laissez-faire Republicans for help. Billionaires betting against America? They will be backed by Feehery and the laissez-faire Republicans. Oppose SEC actions and regulations that have prevented these scandals and corruptions? Don't worry, be happy, the laissez-faire Republicans will be your champions.
Soros must be laughing. Feehery attacks him in a post one day, then advocates policies that make him richer the next! Then he gives Democrats money that guys like Feehery help him make, while Feehery attacks him, and Soros spends the money, laughing all the way to the bank. While Greenspan makes a small fortune from a billionaire betting against Greenspan's policies and betting against the American economy.
You gotta love these guys.
Never give a sucker an even break.

Since the resistance R2 is short-circuited the voltage across this resistance is zero and, according to Ohm's law, the current that flows through R2 is zero. 22 b). First, we indicate the voltages at each node. These voltages indicate the potential difference between the node being considered and a reference node which can be chosen arbitrarily.
1 a). 1 b). This plane is called the 'complex plane' and it is defined by two orthogonal axes, X and Y ; the real axis and the imaginary axis1 , respectively. The representation of the complex plane using two orthogonal axes is also called the Argand diagram. 1 x is called the 'real part' of the complex number while y is called the 'imaginary part' of the complex number. 1 b) we illustrate the √ representation of the complex numbers z1 = (1, 2) and z2 = (− 3, 4/3).

Julia Malkin has progressed from having few qualifications to becoming one of the most highly qualified driving instructors in the country, despite being diagnosed with autism and Asperger syndrome in 2008.
After experiencing extreme bullying as a child, Julia left school and had a nervous breakdown at 16. She drifted through a series of uninspiring jobs until she decided to train as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) in 2004. While doing her training, she passed eight advanced driving tests, including RoSPA Gold Grade – the highest standard of civilian driving in the UK.
She has since gained many advanced driving qualifications, the City & Guilds Award Level 3 in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector and GCSE English. Spurred on by her success, she is currently studying a variety of other qualifications, including an Open University Degree and a Diploma in Literature and Creative Writing.
Julia now has her own successful driving instructor business and works as a Driving Standards Agency Fleet Trainer. She is currently being inducted into the Institute of Master Tutors of Driving (MInstMTD), confirming her top instructor status.
Having missed half the programme i managed to watch the last half, and i was completely amazed by Julia who has Asperger teaching others to Drive, well she certainally has allot of patience of a saint.
Well done julia we need more of you!!!


Thanks for putting up this list, Osh. This is an excellent opportunity for all people – both deaf and hearing – to start talking about Equal Communication Access and what it means… and what role each and every one of us can play in making ECA a possibility in our own lives and in the lives of those who need such access.
It's unfortunate that there weren't more entries… I was really looking forward to reading a lot of different posts on this subject and learning different perspectives on this issue.
However, the posts which are listed here are all excellent and quite thought-provoking, and I want to thank those individuals who did write on this topic.
You can be assured that I will be sharing this link with my family, friends, coworkers, colleagues, and just about everyone on my email list.
It's too important an issue for us to ignore.
All of these posts were excellent and I enjoyed reading or watching each and every one of them!
The Equal Communication Access Poem found on "Ear of my Heart" was truly beautiful. I would encourage everyone to click that link and watch the vlog… which is both signed and captioned. I know it is not eligible for the contest, but it is a beautiful expression of what ECA means.
My college is currently doing Deaf Awareness Week right now, and this is a great way to help promote the whole concept of what the Deaf Community wants, needs, and deserves.
My best wishes to all of the entries… you are all winners in my book!
Where's mine? I'll have to post it on my blog when I get in the office this afternoon. This the ongoing 'scourge' many deaf people are disavowing all the way to the point to be telling me it's all in my head.
Richard, you never submitted an entry to the contest. The rules were posted here for everyone to read and follow. I'm sorry if you were not aware of them, but I cannot and will not be held responsible for the fact that your post is not included.
Many television programs are captioned, but not all. You need to make sure that your television has the captioning device (most all TVs nowadays do, as required by law) and also be sure to turn it on.
The big problem with captioning these days is that while it is available for many television programs, it is not always available for internet or digital programming. This is where we need to advocate for such.
I don't know if there is a petition or not, Birch. What I would suggest is sending letters to the television networks and internet networks (like MSNBC, etc.) and cable companies and the like requesting that they include captioning in their videos and programming and so forth.
If anyone has further information on this, let us know!


I'm building a new PC for myself, and am confused between the GTX1070 8GB, and the RTX2060 6GB. Both fit in my budget, and the final build costs almost the same with either.
Which of these is better for suited for P3D ? What are the pros and cons of choosing one over the other for P3D ?
Thanks, I'll make a thread over there.

What Counts as a Crime Against Humanity?
Crimes against humanity are a category of international law and are designed to protect populations, especially civilian populations, from the worst violations of human rights and dignity. Crimes against humanity are extremely serious and the category itself gained significant traction as a result of the worst atrocities of World War II. Despite dealing with some of the most egregious acts in history, there is some controversy about what counts as a crime against humanity. A number of documents, such as the Rome (ICC) Statute, the 1945 London Charter of the International Military Tribunal, the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and other important documents have all helped define crimes against humanity. What follows are those crimes that are almost universally defined as crimes against humanity:
Murder and Extermination
Murder and the extermination of a demographic group are universally acknowledged as crimes against humanity. While private citizens can also be charged with murder, in the context of international law murder and extermination refer to when a state actor commits murder or extermination, usually on a mass scale. In many cases, such violent acts are perpetrated by the state against a civilian population. Extermination may be carried out on ethnic grounds. Ethnic persecution, it should be noted, is also considered its own crime against humanity.
Deportation and Forced Transfer
A government or state actor may also commit a crime against humanity if it deports or forcibly transports a segment of the civilian population against that population's will. These acts are part of a broader attack against the population and are usually performed in conjunction with other crimes against humanity.
False Imprisonment, Torture, and Disappearance
In many cases, a state that perpetrates crimes against humanity will resort to tactics such as false imprisonment, torture, and forced disappearances. All three of these acts are illegal under international law and they violate human rights protections. With false imprisonment, people may be held against their will on false or trumped up charges. Again, such acts are often perpetrated against a segment of the population.
Rape and Sexual Slavery
Sexual crimes, such as rape and sexual slavery, have long been recognized as crimes against humanity. Such crimes are most often carried out against civilians and are often directed towards specific ethnic groups. Rape and sexual slavery are not only egregious violations of human dignity, but they also work to humiliate and demoralize certain segments of the population.
Other Crimes against Humanity
Of course, many crimes against humanity tend to overlap and the above list is by no means exhaustive. In addition to the above offenses, other crimes may include apartheid, forced sterilization, persecutions on ethnic, religious, or political grounds, enslavement, and other acts that are deemed inhumane.
In the aftermath of some of the worst atrocities of the 20th century, many states, human rights activists, and legal experts made a concerted effort to bring responsible parties to justice. While some trials, notably the Nuremburg Trials and trials involving perpetrators of war crimes in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, have resulted in successful prosecutions, bringing those responsible for crimes against humanity to justice remains an ongoing challenge.

Editorial: Marin voters have their say
Dr. Hank Simmonds, left, congratulates Jon Friedenberg, Chief Administrative Officer of Marin General Hospital after viewing at early election results for Measure R on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014 at the Marin Healthcare District offices in Greenbrae, Calif. (Robert Tong/Marin Independent Journal)
Even with a lower than expected turnout, those who cast their ballots had their say Tuesday night, weighing in on close-to-home political races and issues.
Besides Democrats' run-away victories in the three legislative races on the ballot, the only Marin-wide local vote was for Measure A. It was expected to be a close call because of the organized opposition it drew from public pension reform activists who chose this ballot to send local lawmakers a message that tougher pension cost-cutting measures are needed before they ask for increased taxes.
Measure A was a modest parcel tax for an important project, rebuilding Marin's outdated countywide emergency radio system. When the current system was built, it was done with existing funds. But the recession, the debt still owed on the current system and rising costs, including for pensions, made it difficult for some agencies and municipalities to afford paying for the new system without cutting jobs and services.
Most critics of Measure A didn't question the need for the new system, but they did question public agencies frequently going to voters to raise local taxes for projects and services, ledger items they argued could be covered by more frugal budget management.
Certainly, public services being cut and taxes rising to help cover rising pension costs is a pressing concern. It is one that every single public agency should address. But while opponents of Measure A made that point, we're not sure that it wasn't just a strategy that's more convenient than attending public meetings and raising the issue directly with decision makers, long before tax measures go to the ballot. Taxpayers concerned about the budget bite of pensions need to go to budget hearings and meetings where new pay contracts are on the agenda and raise questions about rising legacy costs.
Marin officials said they would move forward with the new radio system regardless of Measure A's fate. For some agencies, it will mean cutting other parts of their budgets. Nearly two-thirds of the voters — a huge majority in most elections — supported Measure A. But it appears the measure will narrowly fall short of the super-majority needed for passage.
The other larger issue was Measure R and voter approval of a 30-year lease of Marin General Hospital. Novato voters are not in the Marin Healthcare District and did not vote on Measure R. Despite opposition, which tried to replay the bitter political battles that dogged the hospital before it was restored to public management, voters overwhelmingly endorsed the measure. It was a resounding call for putting the history of the hospital's acrimonious politics in the past and focusing on improving Marin's largest community hospital.
Measure R represented a strong consensus among a broad-based elected board that the hospital needs to move forward, not backward.
Voters' election of one of Measure R's critics, Jennifer Hershon, a nurse who used to work at MGH, was a sign that patient care is a top community priority. Voters routinely have elected medical professionals to the board. Tuesday's vote was no different. Besides Hershon, voters re-elected Dr. Larry Bedard and Jennifer Rienks, a medical care researcher.
Another contest that drew countywide attention was the race for Marin Municipal Water District's Division 3 seat. Two incumbents were re-elected without opposition, but in Division 3, which stretches from Woodacre across much of the Ross Valley to Greenbrae, voters appear to have narrowly elected Fairfax Councilman Larry Bragman. He challenged the district's reconsideration of use of herbicides, no matter how carefully applied, to control spreading invasive brush and reduce wildfire danger. He and his supporters criticized Liza Crosse, an appointed incumbent who stood behind the board's lengthy process to review the issue.
The race split local environmental leaders between those who want the district to ban herbicides from watershed lands to those who, like Crosse, favor completing the district's study and plan before ruling out any option.
Bragman also drew support from opponents of the push to build affordable housing.
If after all of the votes are counted and Bragman wins, he certainly will change the board. He is an articulate advocate and would be an outspoken member of a panel that tends to toil without a lot of public debate.
These contests came down to specific issues and concerns. And while it is disappointing that nearly one-third of Marin voters decided not to vote and let others make decisions for them, those who voted didn't let someone else speak for them.

Нови телевизијски торањ који је понео име Небеско дрво (東京スカイツリー Tōkyō Sukai Tsurī), висок је 634 m и тежак 41.000 тона. У јапанској престоници Токију отварио се 22. маја, и он тренутно представља највишу грађевину на свету у којој није предвиђено становање или дужи боравак. Уложено је 40 милијарди јена (¥) у његову изградњу.

Овај нови симбол Токија, изграђен у делу града који је познат по старим храмовима, пијацама и дворани за сумо рвање, замишљен је као спој традиционалног и модерног и представљаће магнет за домаће и стране туристе захваљујући двема платформама намењеним за посматрање града које се налазе на 350, односно 450 m висине.

Ова два видиковца могу да одједном приме укупно 2.900 посетилаца, што није максимални капацитет, већ број који омогућава нормалан проток и безбедност људи.

Небеско дрво ће одменити у Јапану популарни али донекле контроверзни Токијски торањ као највећи симбол јапанске престонице.

Триста тридесет два метра високи Токијски торањ изграђен је половином педесетих година прошлог века као копија Ајфеловог торња и офарбан у белу и наранџасту боју како би се обезбедила безбедност ваздушног саобраћаја над њим.

Мада је због свог видиковца и забавних садржаја врло прихваћен међу младим Јапанцима, Токијски торањ услед недостатка оригиналности не ужива толику популарност међу страним туристима.

Unlike spelling, grammar (however you define it) has few rules that apply to one hundred percent of situations. However, formal situations often require that you conform to certain stylistic and grammatical guidelines. Often, these guidelines are in place to make writing clearer or less clunky. This post and the two that follow will help you figure out what to do if the issues come up in your writing.Now, you probably know that you only add an s to the verb when you're writing in the present tense and your subject is singular and third-person. You probably also know to use "is" and "was" for singular subjects (except "you") and "are" and "were" for plural subjects (and "you"). Most of the time, subject-verb agreement is fairly straightforward. However, there are some cases that trip up even fluent writers.
The verb should agree with the subject – not necessarily the noun that appears just before the verb.
The monkey, as well as the chimpanzees, enjoys eating bananas.
"Chimpanzees" is obviously plural, but because it's set aside by "as well as," it's not part of the subject. (In addition to, along with, and similar phrases work the same way as as well as.) The subject is "monkey" and "monkey" is singular, so the verb is singular, too.
The point of the activities was to learn more about primates.
Again, a plural noun ("activities") appears closer to the verb ("was"), but the subject ("point") is singular. Therefore, the verb is singular.
When a compound subject is linked by "or" or "nor," the verb should agree with the subject that's closer to the verb.
Either the baby or the parents want a nap.
Either the parents or the baby wants a nap.
These sentences are virtually identical. However, in the first case, the plural noun ("parents") of the compound subject is closer to the verb, so the verb is plural ("want"), while in the second the singular noun ("baby") of the subject is closer, so the verb is singular ("wants").
Quantities sometimes call for a singular verb.
This one is really tricky, so let's start with a simple example.
Seventeen pancakes are covered in maple syrup.
Seventeen pancakes is too much for one meal.
Perhaps surprisingly, this sentence is also right! That's because this sentence is discussing "seventeen pancakes" as a quantity. The first example was discussing seventeen particular pancakes, but this one is talking about a number of pancakes, so the verb should be singular.
The last five pounds are often the hardest to lose.
The first ten minutes were the most exciting part of the game.
Five pounds is too much for someone to lift immediately after this surgery.
Ten minutes is more than enough time to change your shoes.
Knowing these guidelines is bound to help you polish your subject-verb agreement and writing, so keep them in mind!


We like this step. We think it can feel nice and not "overly hard". As with all ganchos, you need to turn away. But here, it's really dramatic. You can really see the turning away at the feet and the hips. Not only that, but you turn away the chest and upper torso, as well. All that you really need to do is acknowledge your partner with your upper chest and your face. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to face them.
a traditional freno, she walks over, gancho.
gancho with the other leg overturned.
...I want you to go back with your thigh first.
N: It doesn't just look dangerous.
.. a gancho here and I go, bang.
But it's going right there.
We'll do a new angle.
This will be a really exciting video, right?
the question is: "well how can that be safe?"
there's a place where the knee bends.
and you're going to hold it.
this can go up high. This can cause damage, this foot.
Do you see that foot? The big spikey heel?
..and not where it's high.
So, do that again. Do that again.
D: It makes perfect sense to me.
N: It makes perfect sense.
It has to do with the shift of the body.
..so that I'm over here. I'm behind her.
And then I pivot her around her own axis.
why it was really good what they did.
D: And they made it work.
..and they made it work.
And how did they make it work?
"Okay, this wasn't going on." Stop, reposition, do it again.
Right. Most people wouldn't notice.
Even watching the video, maybe you wouldn't notice.
that you're able to do that is really important.
to the top of the triangle.
Let's start you, actually, this angle.
Well, it's hard to see, between my foot and his feet.
So I walk over, I walk over to here.
And then I can gancho.
..so I make sure I know what I'm hitting.
So let's do this one last time.
