11 Stedentocht Hype IS ON

Feb 052012

h

While it is increasingly becoming likely that the Elfsteden Tocht will be held this year, also the Hype is growing. Since it such a rare event nowadays, probably most discussion is not anymore over the ice but how to organise it. Last time, in 1997, a couple of million people went to see it.. What’s the worry? Think wrong commercialization [de Vereniging Elfstedentocht wil dit evenement volledig sponsorvrij houden. Unilever trekt zich daar niets van aan en poogt Unox op te dringen] and many accidents.

There is even an Action site: Elfstedentocht Sponservrij.

Hooligans? Let only children and Women to matches

Dec 302011

Instead of empty stadiums, allowing only children and women in seems to spectacularly solve aggression at matches..
No surprise that this is also exactly the audience that more wanted for soccermatches.

The Physics of the Bike

May 072011


We have all seen or experienced it. When traveling at the right speeds, bikes can practically steer themselves, remaining upright and defying the pull of gravity. Physicists thought they figured out this minor mystery long ago. But a new paper (read the PDF here) by Andy Ruina (Cornell University) and Jim Papadopoulos (University of Wisconsin – Stout) challenges the conventional wisdom. This video, which comes to us courtesy of Science Friday, explains…

Barassi Line – A dividing line?

Jan 192011

fc
The “Barassi Line”, as proposed by Professor Ian Turner in 1978. The red line divides the regions where Australian rules football (in yellow) and rugby football (in green) were the most popular football codes.

“This map has always interested me because there is no other major cultural divide in Australia, and as far as I know no historical reason for the differences between NSW & QLD and the rest of Australia,” says Andrew Simon Goard, who sent in this map, found here on Wikipedia.

Office workers: Excercise is not enough

Jul 152010

exercize

What was unexpected was that many of the men who sat long hours and developed heart problems also exercised. Quite a few of them said they did so regularly and led active lifestyles. The men worked out, then sat in cars and in front of televisions for hours, and their risk of heart disease soared, despite the exercise. Their workouts did not counteract the ill effects of sitting.
Most of us have heard that sitting is unhealthy. But many of us also have discounted the warnings, since we spend our lunch hours conscientiously visiting the gym.
