In the UK we have been told not to use any real time teaching formats such as Zoom etc due to GDPR issues For my pupils ( age 11 -16) I put all work on google classroom which might be powerpoints or work books. I set a quiz on a site called Educake and maybe an assignment on another site...

I don't personally have a clue about about chloriquine and its variants, head lice treatment, hyper dosing of Vit D, C or any other vitamin, Bicarb, injecting sunlight and drinking bleach (joking) just to name a few. We are however fortunate enough on TTD to have a couple of people who know...

When you makes statements like this about treatments you should really give references / sources. You can sound like someone who knows all the answers that no one else knows about. Regarding comments about a strong immune system though of course desirable, bear in mind that immune systems are...

I am not convinced by the imperative to wear masks outdoors. Is there any real evidence that the corona virus is transmitted by people breathing it in. Droplets from coughing and sneezing will quickly fall to the floor and any that are so small as to remain airborne would surely be so diffuse...

The Qatar open exemplifies everything that is wrong about monetised sporting events for tv. There is no audience till the finals when they wheel out a few sun glasses wearing stony faced royal dignitaries in thrones. The competition has no atmosphere and makes table tennis look like a...

Does she have to wear a skirt? I dont see anything wrong with her shorts

I think it's because people compare to a 38mm ball. This would clearly spin faster (conservation of angular momentum). As far as I'm aware there aren't any 38mm plastic balls or 40+ celluloid balls so it's all a bit academic really

I did. The balls were 39.6mm and 40mm and the masses almost identical. These were controls so that the difference in properties of the material could be investigated. The effect of size or mass was not part of the study

I think you could read just the conclusion. Essentially a plastic ball bounces higher than a celluloid ball especially at higher speeds. The effect of spin is greater with the plastic ball as it has more friction. Slow backspin serves hold the ball up more and fast topspin drives accelerate...

Samsonov for the way he seems to caress the ball in a way that ho one else can.

I always thought that it was righties who had the dodgy serve. Especially down the line

It happens often enough. Player A wins the point .

I agree. I like to play the game of TT and some other crap. Generally mot a problem in the UK
