Early Swimming Clubs: A Question of Class by Win Hayes

“…They needed to belong to leisure organisations that both met their requirements for sport or physical activity and also allowed them to meet other social needs in relation to their leisure being distinctive and maintaining their class position and separation from the lower classes. The second group contains two sub groups: the upper middle class managers or owners of factories and secondly the allied groups of those involved in the running of organisations aiming to attract large memberships such as churches. …”

Uniform in Time Description for Weak Solutions of the Hopf Equation with Nonconvex Nonlinearity by Antonio Olivas Martinez, Georgy A. Omel'yanov

“…We consider the Riemann problem for the Hopf equation with concave-convex flux functions. Applying the weak asymptotics method we construct a uniform in time description for the Cauchy data evolution and show that the use of this method implies automatically the appearance of the Oleinik E-condition.…”
