This one-sentence document does not provide enough context or information to generate a meaningful 3-sentence summary. The document consists of a name followed by a period and does not contain any clear topics, ideas or events that could be summarized at a high level.
The document provides information on how to overcome reading difficulties by focusing on vocabulary, grammatical structure, and reading strategies. It discusses analyzing word structures like prefixes, suffixes, and roots to determine word meanings. Common prefixes are listed that convey quantities or negate meanings. Exercises are included to practice identifying prefixes and suffixes.
The prefix "un-" means "not" or the opposite. It is used to create new words that have the opposite meaning of the root word, such as "happy" becoming "unhappy". Examples are given like "lock" becoming "unlock" and "tie" becoming "untie". The document then provides exercises for readers to identify root words and generate new words using the "un-" prefix.
The document discusses the prefix "re-", which means "again" or "back." It provides examples of words that use this prefix, such as rewrite, redo, and rearrange. The prefix "re-" is used to indicate an action being done again or in reverse. When added to verb roots like type or charge, it creates new words like retype and recharge. Sometimes the prefix is hyphenated, like in re-create or re-elect. In total, the document outlines the meaning and use of the common prefix "re-".
The document discusses prefixes and provides examples of how prefixes can change the meaning of words. It focuses on the prefixes "un-", "dis-", "re-", "de-", and "pre-". The objectives are to understand what a prefix is, and to recognize and spell the prefixes "un" and "dis". Examples are given of words with these prefixes and how they alter the meaning of the root word, often making it an antonym. Students are asked to add prefixes to words and identify prefixes in other words. The purpose is to help students learn about prefixes and how they affect a word's definition.
This document discusses how to create opposites of words by adding the prefix "un" before them. Some examples given are unlock, unkind, unpaid, unwell, unpack, unscrew, untidy, unwrap, and unhappy which are opposites of lock, kind, paid, well, pack, screw, tidy, wrap, and happy respectively. Adding "un" before words reverses their meaning.
This document defines and provides examples of usage for several root words derived from "carn":
- Carnivore means 'meat eater' and refers to organisms that get energy from animal tissue through predation or scavenging.
- Reincarnation is the belief that the soul returns to Earth in a newborn body after death.
- Carnage refers to the savage and excessive killing of people, such as during wartime.
- Carnassials are large teeth in carnivorous mammals used for shearing flesh and bone.
- Incarnation literally means embodied in flesh, and refers to the birth of a being whose original nature is immaterial, such as a deity taking human form
It means "not" and is added to the beginning of words to negate or reverse their meaning. Examples provided are "disagree", "dislike", and "disable". The prefix is then added to additional root words like "courage" becoming "discourage". Learners are asked to identify root words in longer words and generate more words starting with "dis-". In 3 sentences, the document defines the prefix "dis-", provides the meaning of "not", and encourages generating additional examples.
This document defines and provides examples of prefixes and suffixes. Prefixes are placed before the root of a word to modify its meaning, such as "un-" meaning "not" in "unhappy." Suffixes are placed after the root of a word, such as "-less" meaning "without" in "flavorless." Tables are included listing common prefixes and suffixes along with their meanings and examples of words using each one.
The document discusses English prefixes and suffixes. It lists common prefixes like re-, un-, dis-, and im- and their meanings of again, opposite, opposite, and opposite. It also lists example words with those prefixes. It then discusses suffixes like -ous, -ful, -or, and -er and how they can be added to nouns or verbs to change their part of speech or meaning, such as making an adjective from a noun by adding -ous or a noun from a verb by adding -or or -er.
A prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a root word to change its meaning. Common prefixes include "un", "mis", "sub", and "pre". Prefixes are usually not stressed when added to words. There are some exceptions where stress shifts to the prefix, such as with compounds where the first element is an adjective or number. Stress can also vary between speakers for some words. While prefixes affect word meaning, there are no steadfast rules for how they impact word stress.

Euro 2024 Belgium's Rebirth the New Generation Match the Golden Era.docxEticketing.co
The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Coach Domenico Tedesco has managed a tactical shakeup and a regular exit for some of the oldest players. Experienced bests remain, not least the 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen in defense, the 32-year-old De Bruyne himself in midfield, and 31-year-old Romelu Lukaku up visible.
Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.

Sign Out of Meet by Tuesday practice so that the coaches can plan
their meets accordingly.
Arrive Early- meets generally start at 8:00am and swimmers should
arrive at the pool by 7:00am. Meet sheets are available for
minimal costs depending on the location of the meet, these are
master lists for all events.
Volunteer!- It is imperative that parents lend a hand to help these
swim meets go as efficiently as possible. You may volunteer
through our website.
Bring Your Sharpies – yes, markers to write on your child!
Information should include: Event #, Heat #, Lane # & if your child
is a relay participant, the (#). See photo that follows for more
Report to the Clerk of the Court: Also known as the “zoo
keeper(s),” the clerk station is located at the rear corner (east/
river’s edge) and is where all swimmers must check in prior to
their event. 25 meter events start at the west end of the pool
(near the baby pool), while 50 meter events begin on the opposite
end.

12. PEMBROKE MEADOWS MARLINS’ SPORTSMANSHIP AND ETIQUETTE
For many years, the Pembroke Meadows Marlins, including the swimmers and parents, have
prided themselves on outstanding sportsmanship, utmost respect for meet officials and
swimmers, and unfailing courtesy to representatives of visiting teams. VBSL events are
unavoidably long and frequently occur under hot and humid weather conditions. It is
essential for everyone associated with the team to demonstrate Marlins sportsmanship and
commitment to the team’s success.
• Get the most out of practice – swimmers are expected to attend at least three
practices a week and be diligent during these hour-long sessions. Practices
should be fun but they are exerting by design. The more you put in the more
you get out.
• Interaction with Team Rep and Coaches. Be respectful to these team leaders.
There are convenient times to speak to these individuals and other times
when they are simply too busy to respond. Use common sense – you will find
them more than willing to communicate.
• Please remember that there are not enough meet assignments for each
swimmer to swim the maximum number of permitted events (5). Most
swimmers will be assigned to fewer events, based upon their times and the
number and talents of their teammates in their age group. Please accept
your swimmer’s assignment graciously.
• Swimmers still in the pool – a particularly important Marlins tradition.
Marlins’ parents cheer equally for Marlins’ swimmers and opponents’
swimmers during the entire course of the swim. This may require special
attention in the younger age groups where encouragement is most important.
12
Monday, June 9, 14
13. Marlins “Do” List Cont’d
• Get involved – there are many volunteer duties in running a swim meet. The
greater your involvement, the more enjoyment you will receive from your
swimmer’s participation and your own participation in the event. Being a
spectator is fine, but being a volunteer participant is even finer. Team
swimming is contagious. Allow yourself to catch the bug.
• Be on time – timeliness at practice and at meets is an essential ingredient for
group success. It also demonstrates respect for the coaches and the
program. A swimmer arriving late for a meet will, by league rule, be
scratched and not permitted to swim. This causes hard feelings which can be
avoided. The complexity and coordination required for a VBSL meet are
enormous and fully understood only by experienced team and meet officials.
Do your part by arriving on time, volunteering and cheering for all.
• Remember that there is no “I” in team. Our swim team requires the
coordinated participation of approximately two hundred swimmers and many
of their parents. It is a group endeavor in which there are opportunities for
individual success, but the focus of the Coach and Team Rep will be on team
success. Everyone’s contribution is important, be it large or small. From the
smallest six and under swimmer to the most experienced eighteen and under
star, everyone is a Marlin and expected to contribute and appreciated when
they do.
• “We Swim to Win!” – This is the Marlins’ slogan which refers to success in the
pool and also in building winners in life. Obviously, both are important and at
the center of everything that the Team does and strives to do.
13
Monday, June 9, 14
14. Marlin’s “Don’t” List …
• Don’t publicly or semi-publicly criticize the Team Rep, Coach, a
swimmer or another parent. Constructive criticism and
suggestions for improvement are welcome but should always be
offered in a private setting.
• Don’t celebrate success too loudly or too long, or allow a loss or
disqualification to have too great an effect. Marlins sportsmanship
should prevail at all times.
• Don’t be late for practice or a meet, fail to notify of known
absences, fail to complete sign-ups for concessions, or leave a
meet early without the coaches’ permission.
• Don’t distract the coaches during practice or meets.
• Don’t interrupt scorers, timers and judges during their duties.
They are already VERY busy.
• Don’t personally challenge an official’s decision. In most cases
they will be right. In unusual cases, you may wish to discreetly
speak with the Team Rep who will take it from there if appropriate.
• Don’t be a spectator only. There are plenty of jobs to share
around. Participation around a summer pool deck brings “great
warmth.”

Monday, June 9, 14
15. Bob Barry’s Glossary
• Adult Relay – A voluntary relay for parents occurring during intermission. Usually set up as a
one hundred meter mixed (male and female), freestyle relay. Parents form their own teams.
• All-stars – The league’s concluding event in which swimmers who have qualified at the
various Divisional Meets swim as individuals or as relay teams competing for league-wide
honors. Swimmers qualifying for All-stars (and the Divisionals) are to be commended for their
outstanding accomplishments. Selection for the All-stars generally indicates a season of
extraordinary success and dedication by the swimmer, irrespective of the All-stars results.
• Announcer – This individual will operate the public address system and call the events of the
meet in sequence, directing swimmers to report to the Clerk of the Course approximately
three to four events ahead of their time to swim. This is the parents’ signal that it is time to
deliver the children to the Clerk of the Course area. The Announcer will also identify which
event is currently being run.
• CTS-- The Colorado Timing System we use at our home meets. Pembroke Meadows was the
first team in the VBSL to adopt an all computerized timing and scoring system with score
board. This is a source of some pride to our team and is the envy of others.
• Clerk of the Course (Zoo Keeper) – The Clerk of the Course, also sometimes referred to
affectionately as the Zoo Keeper, is that individual charged with gathering and lining up
swimmers for their respective events. Swimmers must report to the Clerk of the Course
several events before it is their time to swim. This is another challenging and thankless job,
the plight of which can be significantly affected by either attentive or lax cooperation by
parents. Parents of younger or inexperienced swimmers should identify the Clerk of the
Course and his or her location prior to every meet so that children can be delivered in a timely
fashion.
15
Monday, June 9, 14
16. Bob Barry’s Glossary
• Coach – One or more individuals who are in charge of the swimming aspects of the
team. The Coach(es) will train and evaluate swimmers during the entire season. The
Coach will make all decisions on the lineup of swimmers for each meet and the
strategy for doing so. Coaches may be engaged in polite conversation before or after
a practice but not during. Importantly, he or she is way too busy during an actual
meet for anything other than “Hello, how are you doing?”
• Concessions - Not a series of giving up when overmatched by the opponent, but
financial lifeblood of the Marlins and other similar VBSL teams. Parents are asked to
donate items for sale during home meets or alternatively contribute $50 per season.
Look for the sign-up sheets the week of a home meet. Profits go to the team.
Concessions are worked by tireless, heat-resistant moms (or dads), without whom,
we would all be hungry, parched and generally lots more grumpy.
• Disqualification (DQ) – Ruling by a stroke and turn official, confirmed by the Referee,
or by the Referee, that a swimmer has failed to perform all aspects of the required
stroke, turn and or finish for an event. No points are awarded to the team if the
swimmer is disqualified for an event. Disqualifications are not publicly announced
but may be quietly communicated to the Coach or the swimmer so that improvement
can be achieved.
• Divisionals – Major event following regular season in which the swimmers recording
fastest times for their teams during the regular season participate for their team
against all other teams in their six-team division. Swimmers must participate in at
least three regular meets to qualify for the Divisional Meet. Those swimmers
achieving the fastest times at Divisionals simultaneously held at four sites qualify for
the All-stars, one week later.
• Event – One of sixty-nine separate swims which occur during the course of the meet.
An event may have several heats, two of which will be scoring heats and one or more
of which will be exhibitions.
16
Monday, June 9, 14
17. Bob Barry’s Glossary
• Heat – (1) A portion of an event involving up to six swimmers. All swimmers, regardless
of heat assignment, may score for the team. Unlike previous years, each successive heat
in an event is seeded with increasingly faster qualifying times. The final heat has the
fastest qualifiers. (2) The endless, excessive and unavoidable atmospheric condition in
which VBSL meets are conducted.
• Lane Assignments – Lane assignments will be alternating by team. Lanes one, three and
five will be used by one team and lanes two, four and six (if pool has six lanes) will be
used by the other. Lane assignments are generally assigned based upon previous times.
The center lanes are assigned to those swimmers who are expected to swim the fastest
times within each heat.
• Dolphin Division – Division of the VBSL to which the Pembroke Meadows Marlins are
currently assigned. Yes, that’s very confusing. The Dolphin Division is the top Division
in the VBSL. Every year, each team’s time-in-water performance is ranked for placement
into a Division for the following year. The fastest six (least time-in-water) are placed in
the Dolphin Division. In 2005, we finished undefeated in the top (Dolphin) division. In
2006, we finished second. In 2007 we again finished undefeated, won the Dolphin
Divisional Meet and our swimmers achieved the best results at All-Stars. VBSL Nirvana!
Our 2008, 2009 and 2011 teams finished second in the Division by the smallest of
margins. In 2011 our team won the Dolphin Divisional title.
• Meet Intermission – A ten minute break between events 38 and 39. This provides the
only opportunity during the meet for swimmers and spectators to cool off in the pool.
May be a survival essential. Support our Concessions before, during and after this
period.
• Myrtle the Marlin – Our team mascot who can be seen breaking the water in her
customary place at all home meets.
17
Monday, June 9, 14
18. Bob Barry’s Glossary
• Referee – The senior meet official, necessarily neutral (although also a parent).
The Referee is in overall control of the pool deck during a meet and makes final
decisions on stroke and turn disqualifications and resolves irregularities. He or she
is your best friend if the meet is moving quickly and is probably not to blame if the
meet is not moving along. Please appreciate your Referee as he/she has a job
similar to an air traffic controller and is trying to make sure nothing crashes,
including the CTS. One or more Administrative Referees, who are also experienced
meet officials, may assist in meet management and disqualifications of swim teams
divided into four divisions of six teams each for dual meets; conducts divisional
meets and all-stars.
• Runners – Volunteers who carry meet paperwork as necessary from the Clerk of
the Course to the Timers, from Stroke and Turn Judges to the Referee, and from
the Referee to the Scorers. Runners are essential volunteers who have a significant
role in determining whether the meet is well run and timely.
• Scorers and Ribbon Writers – Parent volunteers who record the event times, keep
the score for the meet, and write ribbons for the swimmers. The Scorers are NOT
to be disturbed during the course of a meet, particularly to ask which team is in
the lead.
• Stroke and Turn Judges – These individuals are trained, meet officials who rule on
whether the appropriate stroke, turn (if applicable) and finish have been
accomplished by each swimmer. They work the pool deck and must be given room
to work by spectators and timers. They have the authority to recommend
disqualification of swimmers for a particular event and do so if necessary. Their
decisions should never be challenged by a parent. Note: Any comments about
meet officials, including Stroke and Turn Judges, should be directed to the Team
Rep 18
Monday, June 9, 14
19. Bob Barry’s Glossary
• Team Representative – Those individuals charged with the overall administration of the
team. An enormous and thankless job requiring unbelievable organizational skills, the tact
of a master diplomat, a knack for computers, and hundreds of hours of labor. The Team
Rep performs virtually all administrative duties regarding the team and interacts with
league officials. Works closely with the Coach in preparing for and administering each
meet. Is an unpaid volunteer and is not be confronted or challenged at any time (see Do’s
and Don’ts).
• Timers - Fifteen to eighteen individuals who operate stop watches, timing buttons and
record the times of the swimmers. Timers are essential volunteers for every meet. This
job requires no previous experience but does require good concentration and stamina. Is
an excellent way to become involved in meet administration and getting to know others
with similar interests.
• Tommy Horvatic Award – Memorial award given annually to the Marlin swimmer who best
demonstrates the spirit, courage and good sportsmanship of the late Tommy Horvatic.
Tommy was a Marlin swimmer who was tragically killed in an accident and whose memory
and spirit are preserved from year to year by vote of the older members of the team.
• Virginia Beach Swim League (VBSL) – An organization of swim teams divided into four
divisions of six teams each for dual meets; conducts divisional meets and all-stars. (http://
