![]() The Sixers were still eliminated twice in the Eastern Conference Finals. He also starred in the 1979 basketball comedy film, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. However, Erving enjoyed success off the court, becoming one of the first basketball players to endorse many products and to have a shoe marketed under his name. That season, he finished in the top 10 in the ABA in points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, steals per game, blocks per game, free throw percentage, free throws made, free throws attempted, three-point field goal percentage and three-point field goals made. In the postseason, Erving averaged 34.7 points and was named Most Valuable Player of the playoffs. The Erving-led Nets defeated the Denver Nuggets in the ABA’s final championship. The Nets and Nuggets had applied for admission to the NBA before the season, in anticipation of the eventual merger that had first been proposed by the two leagues in 1970 but which was delayed for various reasons, including the Oscar Robertson free agency suit (which was not resolved until 1976). The end of the 1975–76 ABA season finally brought the ABA–NBA merger. His spectacular play established the Nets as one of the better teams in the ABA, and brought fans and credibility to the league. Erving established himself as the most important player in the ABA. He went on to lead the Nets to their first ABA title in 1973–74, defeating the Utah Stars.

![]() The research reported in this paper could enhance uptake of 3D virtual worlds by organisations facing the challenges of facilitating socialisation and knowledge sharing in a distributed workforce. The sense of visual presence and of place in a 3D world can make socialising in a virtual world, a more 'human' experience than in 2D environments such as websites, e-mail, wikis and blogs, and even phone or video-conferencing. The paper discusses the role of 3D virtual worlds in supporting student team projects involving students who are geographically dispersed. We investigate how a virtual world such as Second Life compares to other collaboration tools such as instant messaging or Skype and the challenges that students experience in becoming acquainted with and working in Second Life. Collaboration in these geographically distributed teams is virtual rather than through face-to-face interactions. This models the situation in many commercial sectors where work is increasingly being conducted across time zones and between multiple teams. This paper reports on a study into how a three-dimensional (3D) virtual world (Second Life) can facilitate socialisation and team working amongst students working on a team project at a distance. Selection and peer review under responsibility of Prof. The proposed system has been deployed successfully in more than one scenario as remote site education and local classroom enhancement. The system architecture is based on 3-Tier client-server architecture allowing natural improvement on features, such as, accessibility, reusability, and scalability.

The distance learning platform is implemented in the form of common client/server web application with three participants. The purpose of this work is to set up an effective environment for learning. It consists of web-based course-authoring and a distance learning management system. This paper proposes a web framework addressing the distance learning scenario. ![]() The wearers have expressed that it has “zero arch support” and even just a little bit of added support would make it great. Unfortunately, it is not the type of sneaker you would aim for if you have flat feet and/or overpronation. Hey Dude Wally Stretch has no arch support And that’s due to the lacking arch support. However, not everyone ended up happy with the shoe’s performance for a full day of walking. “Definitely won’t make my feet sweat,” says one of the reviewers. And despite the canvas upper, it is rather breathable. Some of the cases include 6-10 hours of working and the shoe remains comfortable! More than a few also mentioned that their feet felt great at the end of the day.Ĭontributing to the pleasant experience is how incredibly light the Wally Stretch feels. Most people who spend a lot of time on their feet are happy with how the Wally Stretch behaves for that. People who have a problem bending over to tie laces find this pair of slip-on shoes to be a life-saver. You need to untie the knots at the ends of the laces and make new knots, closer inward, to make the shoe a little more snug.Īnother blessing of this Hey Dude is how easy it is to just slip on and go thanks to the Easy-On elastic laces. In case the shoe’s wider fit is a problem for you, one of the buyers has shared a lifehack of how you can tighten it up a bit. “ Husband has THE HARDEST time finding cool shoes that fit his EEEE feet and these fit!”.“Perfect fit for my son who has Hobbit feet”.Even those who typically have to get a 4E Width in shoes say that the Wally Stretch fits the bill! Those with wider feet simply raved about how happy they were to finally find an accommodating sneaker. ![]() A more senior reviewer even mentioned that it “makes feel young again.” “Wide Fit” is truly wide in the Wally Stretch Plenty of wearers say that the moc gets them compliments all the time. But at the same time, there is also nothing too much about the shoe, making it easy to match with anything. With its slightly rustic canvas upper, the Wally Stretch gives off a traditional and even classy look. No need for the endless inserts either.” A stylish slip-on for any occasion He finds it hard to get quality shoes for him but these are “Unbelievable. One example is a guy who is 6’4 and 250 lbs with flat feet and joint pain. ![]() With the number of different styles and color options available, they want to get each one!Įven the heavier guys have found plenty of comfort in these Hey Dudes. “More comfortable than my house slippers!”įor some, this Wally shoe has even become a new obsession.“Put them on and didn’t take them off until bedtime”.“Husband who is very picky about shoes was amazed”. ![]() Here are some of the more descriptive statements: People claim it to be by far the most comfortable shoe they have ever worn. The number of praises that the Hey Dude Wally Stretch received for its comfort is just endless. They are priced higher than Hey Dudes but are highly praised for their ergonomically-designed soles.Īnd if you like the laid-back styles like Wally and are ready to pay extra for a more durable pair, check out some walking shoes from OluKai. The Wally Stretch is also not recommended to men who need extra arch support for flat feet or overpronation. In that case, see if DC Villian 2 or Vans Comf圜ush Slip-On would make a better fit for you. The Hey Dude shoes in general and the Wally Stretch, in particular, fits rather wide and would end up too loose for gentlemen with slimmer feet. Even when the handclaps come in, they add weight and tension to the unfolding tragedy. The lines “I saw the light” and “I nearly died” are almost screamed out to express the horror of seeing his girlfriend cheating on him. It may be a mid-tempo song, but this is Lennon sounding at his most pained and emotionally charged. No Reply was originally written by John Lennon for Tommy Quickly, who was also managed by Brian Epstein. The song that opened the album Beatles For Sale. And some clever songwriting flourishes hint at what innovation was to come – from the intro that sounds like you're listening to a song already underway, to the ‘chorus’ that is the second half of the verse, to the way the word “you” connects the second verse and bridge. Yet there’s a vitality about the song that encapsulates an essential spirit of the beat movement, in part because the track was sped up to raise the key from E to F. “Hold Me Tight was a failed attempt at a single which then became an acceptable album filler,” said McCartney. “It was a pretty poor song and I was never really interested in it either way,” said Lennon. There won’t ever be another one like it.A song that was an early, if somewhat unloved, Lennon-McCartney original composition. “ For you I’d bleed myself dry.” That line, this song, deserves the world. It’s about blind romance, at once hopeful and resigned, that swears to remain true until death demands it to stop. There might be other songs, more complex songs and less earnest songs, but from Coldplay, there is no better song. Here is devotion at its most unblinkered, a rock-solid promise, a supernova love letter. “ Look at the stars” held so much that the rest flowed like silk, the acoustic guitar swerving out of focus just when that overdubbed, historic central riff needed it to. A clear night’s sky and a simple, tranquil appreciation of it led to the opening line. ![]() Like so many masterpieces, ‘Yellow’ was born in a bolt of lightning. Why would you give away your most important secret? The story behind Coldplay’s most successful track, their best track, has kept changing since 2000, and probably always will. The phone directory that was lying on the table – they will never let you know. It could be about the colour of a coward. There are a million different truths about ‘Yellow’. With additional words from Andrew Trendell, El Hunt, Hannah Mylrea and Sam Moore Here then, ranked in order of greatness from worst to best, is Coldplay. Hidden tracks, however, are allowed and celebrated, as are charity and festive offerings. ![]() But we’ve banned all unreleased tracks, included no covers and counted nothing from ‘Los Unidades’ (which is probably for the best). Some criteria before we get going: instrumentals are allowed and included, as long as they are not purely transitional or recycling the loops of another full track. To celebrate 20 years since the release of their still-great debut album ‘Parachutes’ on July 10, 2000, behold: a full, colourful, impassioned ranking of every single Coldplay song to date.Ĭoldplay (Picture: Samir Hussein/Redferns/Getty) From embracing indie rock to trying out nu jazz - and dipping their toes into electropop and EDM as well - they’ve also always been hungry to have a go at anything and everything when they get to it in the studio. When you come to appraise the 20+ years of Coldplay material on offer – music written by the four people who forced the world to invent new synonyms for “heartbreak” – a study of every single Coldplay track actually teases out much more nuance and variety than the straightforward moans and groans of some of the saddest guys in the business might suggest.Ĭomprising of Will Champion on drums, Jonny Buckland on guitar, Guy Berryman on bass and Chris Martin on vocals – and, when he fancies it, guitar, piano and whatever else he can find - Coldplay have often been cocky, sometimes political but always furiously fascinating. ![]() interaction with desktop elements like windows or icons, or assisted by a cursor's changing behaviour or appearance G06F3/0481- Interaction techniques based on graphical user interfaces based on specific properties of the displayed interaction object or a metaphor-based environment, e.g.G06F3/048- Interaction techniques based on graphical user interfaces.G06F3/01- Input arrangements or combined input and output arrangements for interaction between user and computer.G06F3/14- Digital output to display device Cooperation and interconnection of the display device with other functional units.G06F3/00- Input arrangements for transferring data to be processed into a form capable of being handled by the computer Output arrangements for transferring data from processing unit to output unit, e.g.230000001276 controlling effect Effects 0.000 description 1.230000000875 corresponding Effects 0.000 claims description 6.Publication of WO2003003343A2 publication Critical patent/WO2003003343A2/en Publication of WO2003003343A3 publication Critical patent/WO2003003343A3/en Links filed Critical Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.

Here, we share little discoveries made along the way. ![]() A lot happens between “Hello World” and “Supreme Master Programmer”. ![]() It sounds like your weather is in a changeable stage. My Hawaiian neighbor, not fat, but old, often runs around his yard with no shirt on at all. Even here, in the Western backwater where I grew up, I didn't see men running around in those. I can imagine men in sleeveless undershits were a bit of a shock. We’ve finally reached peak Australian criminal activity because a man has genuinely robbed a Bunnings store by descending from the roof using a garden hose instead of a rope in a beautiful bogan remake of Mission Impossible. Democracy Manifest, who was arrested while trying to enjoy a succulent Chinese meal?īut ladies and gentleman, we’ve done it. And who can forget OG Aussie “criminal” Mr. It happened again in 2016 when a man “busted his plugger” while foiling a robbery at a servo after a “stubbies and singlets” party. We said it in 2015 when a man was fined $1,476 for riding a motorised esky around without a license. Came inside, had a cup of tea, suddenly there was a heavy downpour, which equally suddenly went almost horizontal!Ī few times in life, the words “this is the most Aussie news story ever” will leave your mouth. We had a lovely morning yesterday, not a cloud in sight, which I spent deadheading and pruning. Gorgeous bouquet, and I'm glad to read that someone in the US is having nice weather. I've never seen one with a centre before. I'm sorry to hear about Ingrid's roses, but glad she's ok. You are going to enjoy that room so much this summer, enjoy. Lastly, I suggest you cover or get very colorful cushions to match or tie in both area, keep the rust seating ones, but cover the back ones on those chairs and the smaller loose cushions on the two seaters (not the white ones) with outdoor colorful fabric. have a look at their garden tables, they have glass ones and black iron ones that would work great with your chairs, it needs to be bigger than the one you are using now. I suggest that you go to Canadian Tire ,Home Depot etc. Your idea of bamboo roller blind is perfect, I hope you meant bamboo valance also, as I think you have too many windows to put fabric ones up. (Karistan has beautiful ones and cost effective) and cover both seating area to within a foot of the edge of the room, but if it were me I would leave it bare showing that beautiful brickwork. I love the room and I think the placements you have done is excellent, If, you need a rug I would get an indoor/outdoor one with a geometric pattern. A drip system is on the list, but we always have so many projects, it gets overlooked.Ĭarol, how fun to have both your girls at home, and for Kedra's birthday, no less! I'm sure you're a better cook than I, and that's probably why my kids shoo me out of the kitchen. She was left with one short cane after winter, but I counted 8 blooms on her short little self yesterday, plus some buds. Also, by your recommendation, Julia Child is doing her best to compete with the big girls surrounding her. They're already coming back for a second go 'round. My big strawberry experiment went awry and I'll never try that again.ĭiane, I cut back the Campanula Rotundifolia after it bloomed and turned brown - the blooms, not the plant. Your strawberries make me wish I had some right now. I hope she has replaced her love for them with something equally as enjoyable. She always has a remarkable attitude about her roses. It's pretty, but I don't need an acre of it. I like most campanulas, except for one tall super invasive one that I just can't get rid of. The joke's on us! We've been hotter than SoCal all season. We moved out of CA to get away from that summer heat. I can't believe your weather!! So not fair. I know she is the delight of your life and brings you more joy than you ever thought possible. We have some of the sweetest looking babies on this thread. ![]() Husband was upset too, because he has been imagining father-daughter dances and stuff.Lisa, what a precious, cute-as-can-be baby girl Cooper Rose is. I mean, I literally had NO preference, why did I feel so dang upset about this? I think the shock has a lot to do with it! I think I got attached to the only detail about my baby that I knew, and when I lost that, it took a bit to re-attach myself to the reality. I cried in the car on the way home and later that night. When they told me he was actually a boy, though, I honestly felt somewhat devastated. This was our first baby, and we literally has no preference AT ALL before we found out the first time. I had to come back 4 weeks later for some follow up images and got told that I'm actually having a baby boy! I'd heard about mistakes being made from using scans that are too early, but this was my anatomy scan! It felt so certain! Apparently he was in the perfect position to take some misleading photos, though, and it was a huge, rare fluke at my top-notch office. To the Council's credit, the Matcham auditorium was recreated in 1979 inside a new building (see separate entry for the Lyric Hammersmith). MDLOs production of Verdis Don Carlo may be just the thing you need right now featuring a ferocious cast and mammoth orchestra Classical Review. The local Council greatly redeemed its past disregard for the theatre by observing this condition in spirit as well as word. The inquiry decision, however, required that the interior should be recorded and key parts of the plaster work should be removed and stored for possible reuse. In addition to the performances, the Lyric Opera House has many community programs that bring. The theater repertoire features many performances of classic operas, lesser-known works and modern-day masterpieces. ![]() The listed theatre should have been regarded as a 'fix' in the redevelopment and been given a suitable new setting but, in keeping with the temper of the time, it was disregarded until a stage had been reached where its retention would have made much of the advanced design work abortive. The world-renowned Lyric Opera of Chicago performs in one of North Americas most beautiful opera houses, the Lyric Opera House at 20 North Wacker Drive. The Lyric Opera House was founded in 1954 by Lawrence V. The auditorium which, at the time of demolition, was one of Matcham's most endearing designs, was described in 1969 as 'one of the best examples of the fin-de-siecle theatre interior in London - one designed by a master of the art of theatre building' (Ashley Barker giving evidence at the public inquiry into the town centre redevelopment).

The theatre was designed after the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. Kelly and Elliott’s Lyric Opera House wedding was classic, elegant and so much fun The Civic Opera Building is truly one of Chicago’s most beautiful spaces. The unassuming (the word is almost too flattering) façade by Mason, modified by Francis, was retained and further modified by Matcham, who failed to introduce any striking new features, reserving all his originality and skill for the interior.
