All four strokes have different rules and techniques. Keeping your head the most of the time is a rule.
The swimmer should get in position when the referee says on your marks to get ready to take a dive when the whistle is blown. Some jargons include: Flutter kick which is basically a kick for a stroke, a heat which is a competition that precedes a semi-final, a glide is something a swimmer does when he/she is not moving much but just going with the flow. Swim in molasses, make waves, test the water, ride the wave, just add water reach for the wall are examples of cliches.

Muse does not accept and instead wants in exchange millions of dollars. Shane Murphy, or first officer of the Maersk Alabama (Michael Chernus), sees that o

Magazines part ll

Early Magazine Cover -Magazines back then are not as we see them today. They started with a title and table of contents. There was no description of what the magazine was about. Some just had a picture or illustration than a description.  Cover lines were used and many had no covers and just started with an article. In the later 1800s there started to be covers with more illustrations and the name of many departments to be found inside the magazine instead of a table of contents. Poster Cover - These appeared in many types of magazines. They could be defined to as there are no cover lines or themes noted.
