When I go to see a film what I notice best is the music, especially the songs. By that I don’t mean the background score or sound effects. I am referring to the full songs which are part of the film. These may be what characters perform as part of the story or what plays at a particular point in the film. What I pay attention to them because they tend to stand out the most and be the most memorabl...

There are boys in training to be soccer players. I watch them sometimes. Many of them are quite specific. Others seem unsure or distracted. They do drills, maneuver through cones, make passes to each other and take shots on the goal. The coaches will stop them if they do, and repeat the same instructions plenty. Some kids listen they really do and try to modify their behavior. Some are just going...

One thing I find interesting about ice hockey is that they sub while the game is still going. In most other team sports, substitutions can occur only during a pause in the game. Hockey players are subbed on during live play. These substitutions are referred to as line changes. A line is typically three forwards or two defensemen who play on the ice at the same time. Why such a sub exists is becaus...

When children first start playing ice hockey, they gradually learn some of the fundamental skills of skating, stopping and controlling a puck with a stick. The vast majority start young through local clubs or organized programs. The gear comes with skates, a helmet, gloves, pads and a stick. Each player wears a jersey, while goalies have additional padding and a different type of stick. There are...

Who else loves ice hockey? I believe it depends on your preference for a sport. Some people enjoy sports in which there is much movement, much action. Ice hockey does offer that. The puck is never sitting still, and the players need to skate fast and make quick decisions. Which is something you might find interesting as you track the game. There are folks who love the tactics of the line changes a...

This was a video of Smartcheck at TomTom Telematics Arena for SM Expo 2015 focused on demonstrating how its technology can interface with TomTom’s platform. That most likely entailed real time vehicle data, basic dashboards and the ability to track the health of the fleet at any given moment. These are standard telematics functions and being able to present them live at an important event would at...

This is crazy and very scary. An octopus is boneless, so its body is soft. Therefore, the octopus can squish into spaces much smaller than its size. The rule of thumb is as long as the hole is big enough for the opening of its beak, which is the only bone within its body, then the rest of the body will be able to follow. This is why an octopus can fit in a small bottle as long as it has a neck tha...

Some people just have the knack for making fried chicken look appealing. It is not just about flavour, it is also about how it appears in a photo or video or on a plate. The colour of the crust is typically an even, golden brown. The pieces are often arranged so that the various textures of the breading are pictured. There will typically not be any extra oil on the surface of the chicken. The skin...

Baked bread is a diet staple and can be made many ways. Most bread will have the following general ingredients; flour, water, salt, and a leavening agent like yeast or baking powder. The general steps of making bread are mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough, shaping the bread and baking it in a oven.
