Breaking Update: Syria Airstrike Retaliation 
September 24, 2014
==============================================


Dear Lojban,

We have asked that the public please remain calm during this time. 
A "Best Practices" Guide for the civilian populations is included 
below in the even that Martial Law is declared. 

View Civilian "Best Practices" - http://www.thusalong.com/suggested/guidlines.index3

In this guide you will also find an in-depth description of how civil 
rights which include "unlawful assembly".

By studying slow motion video of Ian swimming we can see that any perceived glide in his stroke is an illusion. The gap between one of his strokes finishing at the rear and the next starting at the front is just 0.15 to 0.2 of a second - less than the blink of an eye (see more on this measurement in the
This highlights the fact that while Ian developed a brilliantly efficient style stroke, he didn't do so by making his stroke as long as he possibly could. Instead, he found the right trade off between the stroke length and stroke rate given his height, build, flexibility and fitness level. And you should do the same.(Hint: unless you're 6'5" with size 17 feet and have swum all your life, expect to end up at more than  per lap)
his average race stroke length. It's also no coincidence that of the elite triathlon world (specifically the females) swim with a Swinger style. Whilst we can argue back and forth about the merits of copying the elite as a good model for a specific style of stroke in a specific environment for an Age-Grouper, there is a reason that these guys and girls swim like this and that is because it works in that environment and we can all take guidance from this, even if it's just to tune up some of our open water skills (sighting, drafting, controlling anxiety etc) or address whether or not our strokes have the rhythm and momentum to thrive in the conditions in which we are racing. or elite swimmers the timing of their strokes varies from 0.1 second of overlap (where the stroke starts at the front just before the previous one finishes at the rear) to a 0.2 second gap. These are very short periods of time - which goes to show that although many elite swimmers appear to glide down the pool, it's actually an illusion, their propulsion is actually nearly continuous from one arm stroke to the next. We measure 'moderate' overgliders in the 0.4 to 0.6 seconds range and extreme overgliders right the way up to 1.4 seconds As we pointed out in the blog post, the relationship between glide-time and speed
