Good butterfly swimmers are fun to watch. Swimming butterfly looks like it is very, very hard to do… and butterfly can be hard, but it does not need to be, and it should be a stroke that all swimmers add to their repertoire of swimming strokes, along with freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. One of the secrets of butterfly is to not over kick.

Toasting is defined as a style of lyrical chanting which — in Dancehall music and reggae — involves a deejay talking over a riddim (“rhythm”). Though the art of chanting over a beat is quite ancient and found in many African-based musical traditions, toasting became quite popular in Jamaica in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and “sound systems” — traveling deejays and producers with large speakers and a library of beats and riddims — would feature toasting as part of their musical entertainment....

Most modern windshields are held in place using a very strong adhesive, but they formerly were installed with no adhesive; only the rubber gasket held the windshield in place. And that worked well.
