He recalled a Noll teaching moment shortly after he joined the Steelers’ coaching staff in 1972. He’s the greatest coach in the history of the league, I think.ĭick Hoak played running back for two seasons for Noll and then coached the Steelers’ running backs for 20 seasons under Noll. You’re going to be a better player in your 30s than when you were in your 20s.” He did make me a better player, so I have a lot of respect for him. I’m going to have to change the way that you play. You’re too aggressive, you’re out of control, you’re making too many mistakes. He had me sit down across from him, and he said, “I don’t like the way you play. He called me and asked me to come over and talk to him, and as I was going over, I was actually thinking he’s calling me to compliment me on making my first Pro Bowl. Here, in their own words, is a collection of memories from Steelers who played for or coached with Noll, who died Friday at 82 in his Pittsburgh-area home:Īndy Russell played linebacker for the Steelers from 1963 to 1976 and made the Pro Bowl seven times. He was the greatest man I’ve ever been around.” That would be like half a million dollars today, and he said no because he stayed true to who he was. “He wasn’t going to have to do anything else but sign it and give them the right to put it on the back for $100,000. “Hershey wanted him to sign his autograph, and they were going to put it on the back of every Hershey’s candy bar,” the former Steelers running back said. He recalled a story that had little to do with football but said everything about Noll. These were heartfelt testimonials from the likes of Joe Greene and John Stallworth, both Hall of Famers. The Steelers released statements from a who’s who list of the teams that won four Super Bowls in six seasons. Instead, the former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator and defensive line coach thanked me for giving him the opportunity to remember Chuck Noll.

12/30/2023 0 Comments Twilight zone brain eating eyeballs![]() ![]() In July, WHOI researchers will set sail for the first stage of a study mapping the twilight zone off the northeast US continental shelf. AFP PHOTO / JEAN-CHRISTOPHE VERHAEGEN (Photo by Jean-Christophe VERHAEGEN / AFP) (Photo by JEAN-CHRISTOPHE VERHAEGEN/AFP via Getty Images) Jean-Christophe Verhaegen/AFP/Getty Images TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY LUCIE LAUTREDOU - A male Eurasian Lynx (also known as European Lynx) is pictured in the animal park of Sainte-Croix, on December 12, 2012, in Rhodes, eastern France. Using stereo cameras to judge a creature’s relative position (in the same way the human brain does), the robot moves with the animal at a fixed distance, allowing researchers to watch how it swims, hunts its prey, and document delicate bodily structures that would be destroyed if a physical sample were caught in a net, he explains. Yoerger developed “Mesobot,” an autonomous robot that discretely monitors slow moving fauna. These creatures are sensitive to light and sound, so monitoring them means devices need to be quiet and not stir up water, and employ red lights that most animals can’t see. “The unique challenge about working in the twilight zone is that we don’t want to disturb the animals,” says WHOI senior scientist Dana Yoerger. Read: ‘The ocean is our life-support system’: Kerstin Forsberg on why we must protect our seas Now researchers have the tools to estimate as many as a quadrillion (1,000 trillion) bristlemouths might live in the ocean, making it the most abundant vertebrate on earth. Dense formations of these tiny fish were once mistaken for the seabed by sonar equipment. But it has not always been advanced or nuanced enough to provide an accurate account of the region. Technology has long been a necessary friend of those studying the twilight zone. Paul Caiger/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Bristlemouths are thought to be the most abundant vertebrate on earth, with as many as a quadrillion (1,000 trillion) in the ocean. Without understanding lifecycles, there is no way to know how species could be fished sustainably. “There are very basic things about the twilight zone that we just don’t know,” Sosik explains, including the lifespan of some species, and how long it takes them to mature and reproduce. Some scientists fear commercial fishing operations could expand in this ecosystem, and small but abundant species could end up in fish oil, used in cosmetics and dietary supplements, or fishmeal, used in aquaculture to feed species farmed for human consumption. Now this quest for knowledge has become a race against time. The Great Bubble BarrierĪ 'Bubble Barrier' is trapping plastic waste before it can get into the sea Installed in Amsterdam's Westerdok canal, an air compressor sends air through a perforated tube running diagonally across the bottom of the canal, creating a stream of bubbles that traps plastic and guides it to a catchment system. ![]() "The Bubble Barrier" was developed as a simple way to stop plastic pollution flowing from waterways into the ocean. “What we know now is how much we don’t know,” she says. ![]() Researchers now believe there is 10 times, maybe 100 times the biomass previously thought, says Heidi Sosik, senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). And in the murk, the dominant creature, the ubiquitous bristlemouth, is smaller than a human’s little finger.Ī difficult area to study and often overlooked by science, new technology is aiding its exploration, forcing researchers to re-evaluate just how much life is down there. In the darkness eyes are small and teeth are large many species are transparent, many bioluminescent. Home to an array of species, from the anglerfish to the vampire squid and the fairy light-like siphonophore, it’s a place where oddness reigns. The ocean twilight zone, formally known as the mesopelagic zone, exists roughly 200-1,000 meters below the surface. And in the middle ground between light and shadow, science is making incredible discoveries. It’s hundreds of meters down, yet not so far as the ocean floor. Drop through the ocean in the right place and eventually you’ll enter the twilight zone. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Tom brady press conference feb 6 2017![]() And if New England can find a way to knock Matt Ryan around a little bit from the get-go or Atlanta can do that to Tom Brady, that's going to go a very, very long way to deciding this game. I will tell you this, though - I think the game is going to be won or lost at the line of scrimmage, as most games are. But because of my knowledge of Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, I'm inclined to say New England. TRASK: On paper, intellectually looking at the X's and O's in the matchup, I think Atlanta has the edge. TRASK: I think this is a fascinating chess matchup between the head coach that I believe is the best of all time in Bill Belichick versus a very, very well-coached team in Atlanta. TRASK: And I take my ice cream bets very seriously. TRASK: I am not a gambler, so I will not be placing any bets - you know, perhaps maybe an I'll-bet-you-an-ice-cream-cone sort of bet. I do want to get your take about the matchup tonight. GARCIA-NAVARRO: Enough about politics - we're just going to just talk about the game. I think if you're going to purport to issue a transcript of a conversation, then the transcript should be full. Now at the end of the day, it was omitted. Was it a conscious decision at a very senior level, or was it simply someone more junior saying - oh, what the heck? - I'm going to leave this out. TRASK: I don't know what the NFL's motivation was in omitting that language. GARCIA-NAVARRO: How do you think the NFL is handling it, though - thinking in particular of the NFL's decision to omit parts of the Tom Brady press conference transcript that dealt with politics? Should it have just been honest and included that? I also respect that other people may not share my view and that they may choose to have a bright line between their love for sports and then their interest in social issues. You know, I grew and grew up within an organization which did involve itself in such things, and I loved that. TRASK: That, in my view, is an individual decision. Do you think that the Super Bowl should be a place where people talk about politics and show their political allegiances? I'm thinking, of course, of Colin Kaepernick. GARCIA-NAVARRO: You've gone on the record, though, supporting football players, for example, who make political statements on the field. And I always hoped that people would remember that moment of commonality when disagreeing on other topics. That's something tremendous that sport offers us. TRASK: You know, one of the things I observed and I enjoyed over the course of my career is looking through our stadium during a game and seeing fans from every location, every age, every ethnicity, race, religion, men, women, old, young - enjoying those moments together and looking around and seeing every single person embraced in collective ecstasy. GARCIA-NAVARRO: Is the Super Bowl supposed to really bring people together, forget their political troubles? Or do you think that, you know, we're unable to do that, you know, at this moment? She's the former CEO of the Oakland Raiders. GARCIA-NAVARRO: We're joined by an NFL insider, Amy Trask. In today's edition of Out Of Bounds, our weekly conversation about sports and culture, we're going to talk about the politics surrounding the year's biggest football showdown. GARCIA-NAVARRO: That voice is, of course, Lady Gaga, the outspoken pop star who's headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. LADY GAGA: I believe in the spirit of equality and the spirit of this country as one of love and compassion and kindness. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Great friends of mine - great, great champion, unbelievable winner. TOM BRADY: Like I said, he's been a friend of mine. UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Nothing but praise from Tom Brady when it comes to Donald Trump. And you thought this would be an escape from politics? More than 100 million people are expected to watch the Atlanta Falcons with quarterback Matt Ryan face off against the New England Patriots and superstar quarterback Tom Brady. ![]() It's Super Bowl Sunday, as if you didn't know. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Neat smedium box braids![]() We love how her medium-sized box braids stay slick in this tidy ponytail, plus how the style puts her gorgeous facial features into the spotlight.

Here are some of the cutest box braid hairstyles out there to give you some inspiration. The style options are endless, from knotless box braids and goddess braids to bob braids and box braids with beads. Fair warning, though: It’ll be hard to choose just one. ![]() Now that we have the basics out of the way, we’ve rounded up some of the coolest box braids hairstyles for you to consider. As for when to take them down, she recommends keeping them in for two months maximum. “Products that have penetrating ingredients like coconut oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil are great to use while wearing these styles,” says Stephen. There are plenty of curly hair products designed to soften the hair and reduce itching associated with keeping a style in for too long. Once you have your box braids in, it’s easy to forget about your actual from-the-root hair which, yes, still requires moisturizing. To avoid hair damage, steer clear of this style if your hair is of a thinner texture, as the braiding hair might struggle to find a grip. The style of box braids involves extensions pulling on hair, making it better suited for thicker, collier, coarser curl type. “If you have a thin or weak hairline, then you shouldn’t put excess tension on those areas,” she warns. Speaking of stylists, Stephen recommends that you research yours beforehand and be conscious of the sensitive parts of your scalp during the braiding process. Natural hair is often blow-dried out beforehand to make the installation process easier for your stylist, so you can have your ends cut then. First, you should treat and trim your hair prior. If you’re thinking of getting the style yourself, there are a couple of things Stephen thinks you should know. “When natural hair is over-manipulated, it tends to cause breakage, so a protective style like box braids protects it from being harmed,” says Ursula Stephen, celebrity hairstylist and global ambassador for Suave, Tresemmé, and Dove. When creating the style, synthetic hair is braised into box-shaped parts of hair, achieving a longer style that forms a protective barrier around our natural strands. They’re most often installed with extensions and come in various lengths, sizes, and colors (as you’ll see ahead). Over the last few years, some of our favorite celebrities have made box braids their go-to hairstyle for red carpets or social media appearances with It girls like Coi Leray, Rihanna, Zoë Kravitz, and Zendaya all wearing the protective style. Sleeping with a satin scarf or bonnet helps maintain shine and prevent breakage. They’re not going to frizz out immediately after getting wet, making them perfect for vacation. While you’re there for your braiding appointment (which could take a while, as anyone who’s ever packed snacks for a braid appointment will tell you), ask your braider how to do box braids to get their tips on your preferred style.Ĭompared to loose natural hair, box braids are a very low-maintenance hairstyle. Unlike regular braids, they are named for the way the individual hair sections are parted for use: forming boxes on the scalp resembling a grid.īox braids can be done at home, though the sheer volume of hair might make you more inclined to seek out a braiding stylist. Box braids are a particularly popular style. Not only do they keep our natural hair protected, but they also encourage hair growth. Protective styles are the powerhouse of natural hairstyles. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Clo 3d certification![]() It has a fit adjustment function that makes it easier for designers to precisely measure and modify the fit of their clothes in 3D dress design space.

And you'd have to go through the whole floor again in case you decide to quit during an unfortunate boss fight. This would stimulate players not to use this function, because while it can still save you, it might give you a much less fortunate scenario on re-entry. Originally posted by Agent Ash:Secondly, my suggestion would be a very simple and quite natural one: to make the player begin from the beginning of the floor when they re-enter the game, and obviously to re-generate this floor randomly, so that they would face a different floor if they leave the game and come back. by Alt-F4-ing out of the game and launching it again, which is certainly a bug.

Variation in optimism between people is somewhat heritable and reflects biological trait systems to some degree. Methods to measure optimism have been developed within both of these theoretical approaches, such as various forms of the Life Orientation Test for the original dispositional definition of optimism and the Attributional Style Questionnaire designed to test optimism in terms of explanatory style. ![]() Theories of optimism include dispositional models and models of explanatory style. ![]() As a trait, it fosters resilience in the face of stress. It reflects a belief that future conditions will work out for the best. This is usually referred to in psychology as dispositional optimism. To be optimistic, in the typical sense of the word, is to expect the best possible outcome from any given situation. The term derives from the Latin optimum, meaning "best". A common idiom used to illustrate optimism versus pessimism is a glass filled with water to the halfway point: an optimist is said to see the glass as half full, while a pessimist sees the glass as half empty. Optimism is an attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of some specific endeavor, or outcomes in general, will be positive, favorable, and desirable. Positive mental attitude Half a glass of water, illustration of two different mental attitudes, optimism (half full) and pessimism (half empty) 12/30/2023 0 Comments Miami weather novemberA physical final few minutes of the first half ended with the Bulldogs in front by three.Įxquisite ball movement setup Roberts for a corner three-pointer and a 38-37 lead early in the second.
