 worked out well for me. To each his own I guess.
This is a key element in the debate. Probably every team has at least one guy who allows his junk to be too visible. Wearing drag is an excellent way to prevent this kind of disgusting display.
I was never a very good in season swimmer and when I was I think a sophomore in high school my coach, seeing my frustration, sat down to explain it to me. Our team did not wear drag suits at meets. He told me that when I was tired, my body position was changing drastically from when I was rested and tapered, so my slow swims at dual meets was a function of being tired just like everybody else, but also because my body position changed so drastically. Thinking about this, it is even more clear that for a swimmer like me especially, drag suits just make a bad situation worse. I also took it as a reason to start working on my body position (too little too late?).
It’s really just a choice that every coach/swimmer has to decide what’s best for them. Nobody should be offended one way or another. It’s not a sign of disrespect if one team chooses to race in drag suits…That’s just what the coach has decided is best for the team. Some coaches choose to give their athletes an easy practice the night before a meet, or not lift the day before and some coaches pound their kids all year until its time to rest. Its not an issue of right or wrong.

>>Monster Series Heads To Bristol
(Bristol, TN) — The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns this weekend for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Qualifying takes place at 4:45 this evening, with the 266-and-a-half-mile, 500-lap race to follow on Sunday afternoon. Kyle Larson heads into the weekend atop the standings.Eh, I don't think it's fair to characterize this as a sub mainly for women. Reddit's userbase tends to be mainly male, so it doesn't seem abnormal to have so many guys posting selfies. 

Sure it would be nice if male and female users were posting more content about hairstyling instead of just "look at my hair" posts, but I don't mind all the random selfies. After growing up in an environment where I was constantly told only straight hair was beautiful, it's nice seeing posts celebrating how attractive curls can be.Space represents the next frontier for cloud computing, and Microsoft’s unique approach to partnerships with pioneering companies in the space industry means together we can build platforms and tools that foster significant leaps forward, helping us gain deeper insights from the data gleaned from space.
One of the primary challenges for this industry is the sheer amount of data available from satellites and the infrastructure required to bring this data to ground, analyze the data and then transport it to where it’s needed. With almost 3,000 new satellites forecast to launch by 20261 and a threefold increase in the number of small satellite launches per year, the magnitude of this challenge is growing rapidly.
Essentially, this is the ultimate intelligent edge scenario – where massive amounts of data must be processed at the edge – whether that edge is in space or on the ground. Then the data can be directed to where it’s needed for further analytics or combined with other data sources to make connections that simply weren’t possible before.
To help with these challenges, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) just selected Microsoft and Ball Aerospace to build a solution demonstrating agile cloud processing capabilities in support of the U.S. Air Force’s Commercially Augmented Space Inter Networked Operations (CASINO) project.
The solution involves placing electronically steered flat panel antennas on the roof of a Microsoft data Center. These phased array antennas don’t require much power and need only a couple of square meters of roof space. This innovation can connect multiple low earth orbit (LEO) satellites with a single antenna aperture, significantly accelerating the delivery rate of data from satellite to end user with data piped directly into Microsoft Azure from the rooftop array.
Azure provides the foundational engine for Ball Aerospace algorithms in this project, processing worldwide data streams from up to 20 satellites. With the data now in Azure, customers can direct that data to where it best serves the mission need, whether that’s moving it to Azure Government to meet compliance requirements such as ITAR or combining it with data from other sources, such as weather and radar maps, to gain more meaningful insights.
With Azure, customers gain its advanced analytics capabilities such as Azure Machine Learning and Azure AI. This enables end users to build models and make predictions based on a confluence of data coming from multiple sources, including multiple concurrent satellite feeds. Customers can also harness Microsoft’s global fiber network to rapidly deliver the data to where it’s needed using services such as ExpressRoute and ExpressRoute Global Reach. In addition, ExpressRoute now enables customers to ingest satellite data from several new connectivity partners to address the challenges of operating in remote locations.
For tactical units in the field, this technology can be replicated to bring information to where it’s needed, even in disconnected scenarios. As an example, phased array antennas mounted to a mobile unit can pipe data directly into a tactical datacenter or Data Box Edge appliance, delivering unprecedented situational awareness in remote locations.
A similar approach can be used for commercial applications, including geological exploration and environmental monitoring in disconnected or intermittently connected scenarios. Ball Aerospace specializes in weather satellites, and now customers can more quickly get that data down and combine it with locally sourced data in Azure, whether for agricultural, ecological, or disaster response scenarios.
With nearly seven in 10 Americans planning to celebrate Halloween, Oct. 31 is one of the fastest growing holidays of the year. And for good reason, it is a chance to break away from day-to-day routines to let loose and have some fun.
A National Retail Federation survey said Americans will spend $8 billion on Halloween this year, and a good chunk of that will be spent on costumes.
Don’t be fooled: Halloween isn’t just for kids. In fact, more money is expected to be spent on adult costumes this year than on costumes for children.
The trade group estimates there will 6 million adults dressing as a witch, and 3.2 million dressing as a vampire. Trailing those costume choices are the traditional fare: pirates, super heroes, and zombies. Yet costume retailers also see
