USA Swimming has announced that the 2020 Olympic Trials will return to the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., for the fourth time.
The facility, typically the home of Creighton University’s Division I men’s basketball program, will again seat 13,000-plus fans for eight days of swimming, as it has for the Olympic Trials in 2008, 2012 and 2016.
“USA Swimming has had great success in the city of Omaha,” USA Swimming interim CEO Mike Unger said. “If you could have predicted the amount of success we’ve had in this city and in this venue, you would have been crazy. It’s been awesome for this sport and the city of Omaha.”
“On behalf of the Omaha Sports Commission, I can’t tell you how excited we are to bring a fourth straight U.S. Swim Trials to Omaha,” Omaha Sports Commission President Chris Kircher said. “While today’s agreement reflects a lot of hard work, months of discussion, it also reflects the strength of the partnership the Omaha Sports Commission has with USA Swimming. The late Chuck Wielgus, who we’ll miss greatly, was a great person to partner with. It’s upon that foundation that we continue forward.”
“The folks associated with USA Swimming were making the point that this really prepares our swimmers to go the Olympics,” Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts said. “Omaha is a great sports town, it is a great venue to host events like this, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have the 2020 Olympic Swim Trials coming back to Omaha.
The Trials will be held June 21-28, 2017, a few days earlier than the 2016 Trials (June 26-July 3) due to the Tokyo Olympics beginning earlier (July 25) than those in Rio (Aug. 6). Unger indicated that USA Swimming expects all eight nights of the meet to be broadcast live on NBC Sports channels.
“This is the perfect setup for us, with the warmup pool right next door, the competition pool right behind us and a city so compact,” Unger said. “It is the perfect city for us.”

Digital camcorder

A camcorder records  a scene as a sequence of 25 or 30 still images per second, along with sound . It comprised a video camera to capture  light from the scene , a view finder through which the scene may be viewed, a screen on which the record scene may be viewed, a charge couple device (ccd). to convert the visual data into an electrical signal, and a means of storing a signal. Digital video cameras convert the signal into digital form- a series of separate measurements of the initial analogue (continuously varying) signal. They record the digital  signal, usually on a chip or hard disk. Camcorders  often have a slot where a memory card can be inserted to expand the memory and store longer recordings or more still pictures.

Bleeding steel

At over 60 years old, Jackie Chan proves that he is still fighting fit. The year has already seen Chan star in  Kung Fu Yoga . Then there is  The Foreigner  and  Bleeding Steel  incoming. A new full-length trailer and character posters have been released for  Bleeding Steel , a sci-fi thriller written and directed by Leo Zhang. Jackie Chan stars as a special forces agent who gets caught up in a conspiracy while protecting a young woman from an evil organisation. Years later, a sci-fi novel  Bleeding Steel  is published, and that’s when the bad guys with futuristic attire suddenly appear. The trailer looks like a mix of two different films mashed together. But you get shootouts, explosions and a car crash. Plus, also see Tess Haubrich beating Chan up on top of the Sydney Opera House.

planetary science

Planetary science  or, more rarely,  planetology , is the scientific study of  planets  (including  Earth ),  moons , and  planetary systems  (in particular those of the  Solar System ) and the processes that form them. It studies objects ranging in size from  micrometeoroids  to  gas giants , aiming to determine their composition, dynamics, formation, interrelations and history. It is a strongly  interdisciplinary  field, originally growing from  astronomy  and  earth science , but which now incorporates many disciplines, including  planetary geology  (together with  geochemistry  and  geophysics ),  cosmochemistry ,  atmospheric science ,  oceanography ,  hydrology ,  theoretical planetary science ,  glaciology , and  exoplanetology . [1]  Allied disciplines include  space physics , when concerned with the effects of the...
