Tug-O-War Competition
This a team contest consisting of either five or eight members to each team and one coach. The coach will encourage the team to pull as and when required dependant on the opposing teams actions. The coach must be very alert to keep his team fully aware of the moves intended or to just hold awaiting the correct time to make a move. The competition will commence with the command from the judge `Pick up the rope`, thereupon the two teams move back until the rope is taught and the judge inserts the marker flag opposite the central marker on the rope. The teams thump their feet into the ground for firm hold and then lean back on the rope and the judge gives the command ` Pull` whereupon the two teams then pull with all their strength. The object is to pull with nearly straight arms and legs from as low a position as possible with all members of the team in unison. The length of the pull may vary but officially should be 12 feet which is measured by two markers on the rope each six feet from the centre. When either mark passes the stick placed in the ground by the judge at the central point of the rope when starting competition, the other side has won that pull. The teams then change ends and the best of three is the winner.
In the foreground, the bulbous bow of the container ship MV Monte Rosa. Just emerging from behind it is a tug. Both are floating in the distinctive brown water of the Río de la Plata, which goes by the moniker "River Plate" in the U.S.
A more respectable source than our usual Wikipedia, The Encyclopedia Britannica, calls the Río de la Plata "a tapering intrusion of the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of South America between Uruguay to the north and Argentina to the south. While some geographers regard it as a gulf or as a marginal sea of the Atlantic, and others consider it to be a river, it is usually held to be the estuary of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers (as well as of the Paraguay River, which drains into the Paraná)."
I'm firmly in the estuary camp. What's tinting the waters brown is soil from the interior being washed to sea by the Uruguay and Paraná Rivers.
Here's a photo of the River Plate taken from space. Buenos Aires sprawls in the lower right, while Montevideo perches half in and half out in the upper left. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Rio_de_...

This is a favorite toy. It's designed for tugging (a "tug toy") but we mostly play fetch with it because my spine can't handle playing tug with a strong dog like Shyla.

So I'm helping a friend of mine with some research. I know my way around M.S. Excel and he, well, let's say he knows were to find the computers on/off switch. This research is about arrival of planes and the delivery of goods at the platform/gate, incoming as well as leaving. To get the goods from the depots to the platform they use tugs. And another source of inspiration was found...
