Every Bugatti that leaves Molsheim undergoes an uncompromising quality control process and
these mechanical masterpieces face one last challenge: an intensive final inspection and circuit testing program that ensures absolute perfection
"Our relationship with Circuit de Mirecourt has been invaluable in ensuring that every Bolide meets our exacting standards. Their commitment to providing us with consistent track access has allowed our team to develop a rigorous and methodical approach to quality control for a car so extreme that there really was currently no benchmark for it. So, we developed our own, accepting nothing less than perfection.”
The shakedown process mobilizes a dedicated team of eight specialists for each session: two quality control drivers, a tire manager, a cooling manager, two mechanics, and two electricians. Working in orchestrated harmony, this expert team can validate two cars in a single day on track, assessing every single dynamic characteristic.
Bugatti's track-focused shakedown process is divided into two distinct phases, each designed to validate different aspects of the Bolide's performance:
Each test combines advanced telemetry derived from motorsport with expert human evaluation. Specialized software analyzes real-time data to detect even the slightest anomalies, while drivers trained in Bugatti's precise specifications provide invaluable feedback on the vehicle's performance and handling characteristics.
“Our dedicated quality team has crafted a process with as much care and attention as the Bolide’s aerodynamicists spent honing the downforce, or the engineers spent perfecting the dynamics. Their work ensures that the W16's purest expression in the Bolide delivers not just extraordinary performance, but does so with the reliability and quality that defines Bugatti."
The rigorous testing process will be ongoing as more customers throughout the world continue to take delivery and enjoy their Bolide on-track, including at the Bugatti ‘Feeling the Track’ events, following the premiere gathering at Circuit Paul Ricard in February. A second ‘Feeling The Track‘ event will take place at Circuit of the Americas in May.

Bugatti&#8217;s track only Bolide is undergoing its final shakedown runs at the Circuit de Mirecourt in France
The shakedown process involves a team of eight specialists for each session: two quality control drivers
“Our relationship with Circuit de Mirecourt has been invaluable in ensuring that every Bolide meets our exacting standards
Their commitment to providing us with consistent track access has allowed the team to develop a rigorous and methodical approach to quality control for a car so extreme that there really was no benchmark for it
accepting nothing less than perfection,” said Philippe Grand
Bugatti’s track-focused shakedown process is split into two phases, each aimed at validating different aspects of the <a href="https://www.automotivetestingtechnologyinternational.com/news/aerodynamics/bugatti-bolide-undergoes-high-speed-cornering-tests-to-optimize-aerodynamics.html">Bolide</a>‘s performance
The first phase focuses on laying a strong foundation and preparing the vehicle for more demanding tests
It begins with familiarizing the drivers and validating the steering at moderate speeds
starting at 50km/h and gradually increasing to 250km/h
allowing the braking system to break in smoothly
This phase also includes detecting irregular noises through lateral maneuvers and varied braking scenarios
with frequent technical inspections by specialized technicians in the pits
The team ensures that all dashboard parameters and driving functions are working optimally
the second phase pushes its capabilities to the limit while maintaining strict safety protocols
The team conducts intensive laps to gradually increase the temperature of the tires
Drivers evaluate the stability and safety systems
while also testing launch control to simulate extreme starting conditions
The process involves racing scenario simulations with multiple laps at speeds reaching 300km/h
ensuring brakes cool to below 300°C and the engine stays under 90°C before further performance validation
The Bolide’s performance will also be tested under near-extreme conditions
with braking forces reaching up to -2.5g and brake temperatures peaking at 1,000°C
“Our dedicated quality team has crafted a process with as much care and attention as the Bolide’s aerodynamicists spent honing the downforce
or the engineers spent perfecting the dynamics
Their work ensures that the W16’s purest expression in the Bolide delivers not just extraordinary performance
but does so with the reliability and quality that defines Bugatti,” said Grand

In<a href="https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/02/021324-chrapliwy-quadex"> my last column about QuadEx</a>
I wrote about how Duke’s attempt at housing reform could mature into the most positively transformative feature of Duke’s community if it implemented a coherent model around the fundamental core of shared spaces
The tree ring model of concentric layers to community growth provides a coherent vision for how QuadEx could become a beloved and admired feature of Duke
but there is another facet that will be crucial to its success
and which deserves its own treatment: the cultivation of a middle scale of housing community
Between the smallest scale of roommates and the largest scale of the whole 250-to-500-person Quad
there is a fundamental need for a scale of community that is structured around the natural social niche of thirty to sixty people for QuadEx to be successful at building and sustaining real communities within the model.&nbsp;
Duke and QuadEx don’t currently appear to have a plan for this scale of community
although it existed for years in Greek life sections on campus
SLG sections and independent houses under older models of housing
It’s also true that QuadEx has several seemingly intractable problems with its implementation
failure to fully incorporate LLCs and SLGs into the model
and a failure to follow through on its original mission of building continuous communities from East to West and beyond
All of these problems and more are resolved by the addition to the model of a middle scale of housing community.&nbsp;
But what would this scale look like within the existing QuadEx design
and how would it solve the problems that the current model for QuadEx cannot?&nbsp;
To give you the clearest idea of the answer to these questions
I’ll describe a student’s journey through their middle scale community at Duke
For clarity I’ll call the middle scale community group a ‘Hall’ to distinguish it from a House or a Quad
These communities could be called anything
but ‘Hall’ implies their core spatial component and scale while avoiding associations with other community group names already in use
The spatial component is the most pressingly important to develop — the core of the tree ring model is shared space
which is located so centrally because all of the components surrounding it will fail to thrive in its absence.&nbsp;
To begin describing a potential Duke student’s journey through a QuadEx with Halls
who enrolls at a hypothetical Duke where Halls have been part of QuadEx from the beginning
She starts her first semester in her East Campus House
enjoying the convenient location right next to Marketplace
She makes friends with people on her floor
and even more friends with her sister House
because she’s earned a few points for the Quad Cup with them since they both compete for their linked Quad
made up of people on her floor and a few others in Brown and Alspaugh
They all grew especially close by spending time together in their common room late at night while finishing homework.&nbsp;
Hannah comes back from winter break to the spring of her first year
and pretty soon everyone is getting ready to choose their housing for the coming fall as sophomores
Hannah knows that as part of QuadEx she’ll be in Kilgo
So she and her friends from Brown and Alspaugh rush Magnolia Hall
which is the set of rooms in Kilgo section I through L on the first and second floors
She knows that she’s guaranteed to get into a Hall
and that with it comes the community of the three or four dozen people she’ll be physically closest to
the upperclassmen of Magnolia Hall hand over the reins and show Hannah and all her friends the ins and outs of their space
as well as some of the Hall traditions they’ll keep going in the coming year like Open Door Day
where you get to see all the rooms in the Hall
The upperclassmen will still be connected to the community they’ve built since they’ll move into Magnolia Hall’s section in Swift in the fall
Hannah and her Hallmates have an election before the Spring semester is over to decide who will be their Hall representative to the Quad Council
made up of representatives of all the Halls coming together
and rushed the Spire Fellows LLC for his sophomore year
That means his Hall is Spire Hall in Craven
which has a section in Hollows for when he comes back from his Junior Fall abroad next year
and Mihir’s Hall representative on the Quad Council makes sure they have the portion of the Quad Council budget they need to do everything from hosting a visiting professor to having more than enough pizza at their Super Bowl party.&nbsp;
Mihir’s friend Sophia had an older sibling at Duke who was in Mirecourt when the SLG still had a section on campus
Since the SLGs were reincorporated into the QuadEx model as Halls
she knew she wanted to rush Mirecourt Hall with her friends moving from Giles House into Crowell Quad
She had a friend who lived in Randolph but mostly hung out with people in Giles
and they were able to switch their Quad affiliation going into their sophomore fall
there’s a Mirecourt All Hall party in their section where the newest members of each Hall get to meet the seniors who used to live there
Sophia started working in a lab she learned about from someone she met at the All Hall Party.&nbsp;
and Sophia all returned to their Hall sections frequently for events and to connect with new members after the Spring rush
They loved teaching their first years about the Hall traditions and identities
and how each Hall identity possesses a component of the Quad Identity
like Kilgo’s Magnolia tree or Craven’s Raven
Hannah helped a first year student run to represent their Hall in the Quad Council
Mihir told someone where to order the best pizza for their Super Bowl party next year
who had just finished her distinction project in the lab she joined sophomore year
connected an interested first year student to her lab manager.&nbsp;
The details of these three cases — independent Halls
LLC Halls and SLG Halls — could easily be as vastly different as Duke students themselves are
But they illustrate how a middle scale of community could exist in a way that solves some of QuadEx’s weakest points
Every Duke student joins a Hall by selection from the bottom up or by default
because the model is exhaustive:&nbsp;Every room in the Quad is part of a three to five dozen block of physically adjacent rooms
building in a ground floor of belonging that doesn’t let students slip through the cracks of community structure as many do in QuadEx’s current design
There would be one resident assistant associated with each Hall
reinforcing the RA’s current efforts to build community while eliminating those efforts that are redundant with the Quad Council’s.&nbsp;
First among the problems a middle scale could solve for QuadEx is the fact that LLCs and SLGs could be woven into the framework without missing a thread
providing the same living-learning structure and community structure that these groups aspired to before QuadEx
It would even be possible to incorporate Greek life sections this way
although the likelihood of that ever happening seems low
the point stands that pre-QuadEx forms of middle scale communities could be seamlessly blended into the new model and preserve the richness those communities contribute to Duke overall
but only if we adopted a middle scale of housing community
detached or obliquely incorporated into their Quad’s community.&nbsp;
the Quad Councils currently have considerable budgets
but sometimes poor engagement by the council members themselves and by the students at the events they organize
but a significant one is that the Councils are composed of members who have no specific charge from any student or group of students
leaving their mandate and purpose for governing weak and unstructured
If the Councils were composed of representatives from each Hall — who are answerable to their Hallmates for the state of things
and who can confidently organize events they know their Hallmates will attend — the Councils would necessarily behave differently.&nbsp;
the place-based continuity that has the potential to exist from East Houses to West Quads accounts for only half of the time students matriculate at Duke — a middle scale community of Halls would exist not just in the Quads
but for juniors and seniors when they live in Hollows and Swift as well
QuadEx is well-known for attempting to remove selectivity from the housing process at great cost
but selectivity doesn’t have to happen from only the top-down direction
First-year students can select into their Halls from the bottom up through combined blocking and other means
letting them experience the benefits of that scale of intentional and equitable community.&nbsp;
Making QuadEx into the exceptional and beloved way we do housing at Duke will take many years of growth and investment
but it will also require creative leadership that innovates to bolster the weak spots of the model when they become apparent
A great arborist knows when to prune a tree’s branches and when to graft in new ones
it’s going to need some creative modifications
The middle scale of housing communities should be the first one.&nbsp;

On Thursday, Feb. 27, 1986, a group of Duke students from the Mirecourt House decided over a game of quarters that they wanted to get a jump on securing seats to see the No. 1 <a href="/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/150/duke-blue-devils">Blue Devils</a> host their archenemy, the No. 3 <a href="/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/153/north-carolina-tar-heels">UNC Tar Heels</a>
pitched tents next to Cameron Indoor Stadium a full four days before what became a glorious Sunday afternoon 82-74 Duke victory
When one of them scribbled "Krzyzewskiville" onto a piece of cardboard and taped it to a post
college basketball's most famous village was born
12 Final Fours and five national championships later
Coach K will be on the sidelines of his home court for the last time
This year's edition of pre-Carolina "K-Ville" was much more than a handful of tents on a lawn
staked into the grass between Wilson Gym and Cameron Indoor for 32 days
We sent a camera into all that dark blue nylon to find out
Cornell Watson for ESPNThis year's encampment began on Jan
four days after the infamous blue tenting test
14-page exam covering every facet of Duke hoops
from the history of the UNC rivalry to the life of Coach K
("Who was Coach K's High School Basketball Coach?") A record 175 12-member tent teams showed up at Cameron for the test
Cornell Watson for ESPNWhen the COVID-19 omicron variant surged during the holidays
it forced Duke to delay in-person classes until Jan
18 and students feared K-Ville would be shut down for the second straight year
But the number of daylight campers remained the same
Cornell Watson for ESPNAfter nearly four decades of hoops season hardiness
K-Ville residents do not fear the elements
the university will not let residents stay out if overnight temperatures drop below 25 degrees
if there is two more inches of snowfall or if winds top 35 mph
Says senior econ major Cam Polo of Philadelphia: "My parents are like
We're paying a lot of money for that dorm room and you're in a tent in the cold?'"
Cornell Watson for ESPNMembers of the team titled "Dumblemoore's Army" are leaping into the sunlight
beckoned by the blow of a horn that signifies a tent check
Those checks are held randomly and around the clock
and those first checks were a lot to handle
especially when there are four in one night
Cornell Watson for ESPNThat check horn is like Pavlov's bell
all K-Ville residents must present their student IDs to the line monitors
Any team that fails to have the required number of members on site -- two during the day
six at night -- gets one "miss." A second means surrendering their spot to one of the squads who was left stuck on the waiting list after the blue tenting test
Cornell Watson for ESPNDuring this year's pre-UNC encampment, there were four home games played next door, including the contest for which you see these K-Ville residents pregaming, the 88-70 win over <a href="/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/52/florida-state-seminoles">Florida State</a> on Feb
"I think FSU was the day that a lot of realizations started settling in for all of us," recalls Sam Freder
Cornell Watson for ESPNIt's no secret that Cameron Crazies love body paint
but what student Belle Almendinger is doing might also lead to better seats for the Carolina game
K-Ville residents accrue bonus points via a series of contests -- including body painting -- and for attending other Duke sporting events
Those points can lead to a better spot in line when the doors open Saturday afternoon and the rush for the best seats begins
aren't just merely here to be K-Ville police and wake-up alarms
managing the walk-up crowds for every home game
The application process is not unlike tenting itself
hyper-competitive with a small number of spots to fill (around 30) -- and there's even a test
and all applicants must be prepared to have a discussion worthy of the Duke Divinity School: "Why does K-Ville matter?"
The official answer is that Duke University has 6,800 undergraduate students and Cameron Indoor
only Duke students would take a test to watch basketball and then come up with a camping process that you have to live to truly understand
Cornell Watson for ESPNHaircuts and selfies
There has always been a sense of community among K-Ville residents
Most of this year's senior class had their first UNC tenting experience in 2020
Says Camden Nelson: "We were going to have a bond regardless
but we've had this shared experience of COVID
The last time we'd all been here was the week before the world got turned upside down."
Cornell Watson for ESPNThose with FSU tickets but not a spot on the lawn looked into Krzyzewskiville with admitted tent envy but didn't let that deflate their excitement
See: these wall climbing/chant leading efforts of Jake Jeffries
The underclassmen have already circled next year's UNC game
But in odd-numbered years that game takes place in early February
"You take all you've seen this year and cram that into half the time
right out of winter break and into the tents."
Cornell Watson for ESPNSecond only to sleep
the greatest challenge for K-Ville residents is finding food
Group text chains end up becoming a de facto Door Dash
as those who are holding down the tent for the team place their orders at dining halls
Durham eateries and a flotilla of food trucks
while relying on tentmates to do the delivering
The staple is pizza because this is still college
there was a Mike's pie to pay homage to Krzyzewski's inaugural delivery in '86
There was also a steady stream of Coach K-themed swag rolling in
Cornell Watson for ESPNEvery team works in a rotation
a process that can get a little complicated when you consider the typical college student's schedule
let alone so many seniors in the process of applying to law and med schools

The bows of François-Nicolas Voirin had more influence than those of any other bow maker after F.X
Matt Wehling explores Voirin’s life and career
and examines why his bows were so successful with players
‘If ever there was a secret in the making of the stick
this is it,’ wrote long-time English bow maker William Retford
is slightly rounded and terminates in a point which can only be described as perfect,’ wrote Étienne Vatelot in his seminal bow book&nbsp;Les Archets Français &nbsp;(as exemplified by the bow head above)
When you can&nbsp;get an octogenarian Englishman and an erudite Frenchman to agree on something
Born in the small town of Mirecourt on 1 October 1833
François-Nicolas Voirin might have spent his entire life there
working in a violin or bow making workshop as so many of his&nbsp;playmates no doubt ended up doing
But early training,&nbsp;extremely talented hands
family connections and a quietly ambitious nature combined to make a man who would modernise the bow to fit the ever-changing needs of 19th-century musicians
The second oldest of four boys (all of whom went into the violin trade
the youngest two both conveniently having the first name of Joseph)
it is thought that by the age of twelve François-Nicolas was apprenticed to Jean Simon
the great maker of many fine bows who worked for Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume and then on his own for many years
but the Mirecourt journeyman whose bows were possibly signed ‘Simon FR’

The town of Mittenwald in south Germany has hosted its ninth International Violin Making Competition
161 violin and bow makers from 25 countries participated in the contest
in that separate categories were created for ‘replica’ instruments
those that had been artificially aged by the luthiers
each instrument had its own ‘replica’ category
French luthier Roland Belleguic took first prizes for violin and replica viola
The 32-year-old studied violin making at Mirecourt and then served as an apprentice with Patrick Robin
‘I have always loved to “travel” with my hands
to design and transform an image in my head into reality,’ he said
‘I loved working with wood and at the age of 16 I became a carpenter
At that time I discovered my passion for jazz guitars
And so the desire to build instruments arose.’ Belleguic is now based in St Sulpice sur Loire
First prize for a viola was won by German luthier Ulrich Hinsberger
who also came second in the violin category
Polish luthiers took third place in both categories: Paweł Kubacka for violin

Durham, N.C. &mdash; The Battle of the Blues men’s basketball <a href="https://www.wral.com/news/local/duke-unc-rivalry-tobacco-road-basketball-jan-2025/">rivalry between Duke and North Carolina</a> dates back to Jan
including the tent city students create before the rivalry game in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium known as “Krzyzewskiville.”
Krzyzewskiville is named after legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski
“Coach K” served as Duke’s coach for 42 years before retiring in 2022
including the rivalry game against North Carolina
had always been a regular practice at Duke
Some students would get sleeping bags and sleep in line the night before the game to ensure their front-row seats
Kimberly Reed was a senior at Duke and a former resident of the Mirecourt selective living group
She decided with a group of her Mirecourt friends to line up even earlier for the UNC game and sleep in tents
the dozen or so friends set up four or five tents and prepared to sleep outside of Cameron Indoor Stadium
They were quickly noticed by the rest of the student body
there were up to 75 tents in line to see Duke battle their long-standing rival UNC
A Duke tradition was born that continues today
Duke senior Oliver Hess serves as one of two head line monitors of Krzyzewskiville
His family shares a special connection to the annual tradition
“My parents met tenting for the 1992 UNC basketball game
I’m happy to continue making K-Ville a place where people can meet each other and have fun,” Hess said
Krzyzewskiville is formally defined as the grassy lawn area in front of Card and Wilson gyms
their surrounding sidewalks and the plaza in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium and the Schwartz-Butters building
may expand Krzyzewskiville at their discretion
Hess said the 2025 version of K-Ville features 130 tents comprised of 12 people each
<a href="/krzyzewskiville-began-in-1986-each-year-duke-students-put-up-tents-and-sleep-in-them-outside-of-cameron-indoor-stadium/21831640/"></a>
there are tents that reference popular movies like “Barbie,” “Lion King” and “Ice Age.”
Duke seniors Eva Funaki and Jamie Sokoloff’s tent is nicknamed “The Sion King 2,” which pays homage to senior guard Sion James and freshman guard Isaiah Evans
The tent setup has a walkway into the tent over a makeshift “moat.”
who has since passed away unfortunately,” Funaki joked
“It’s definitely a bonding experience,” Sokoloff said
Duke junior Courtney Yribarren is part of the Das Boot tent
Das Boot is the oldest-running tent in K-Ville
Yribarren said her group found a unique way to secure her tent’s stakes properly
but I feel like it’s representative of K-Ville,” Yribarren said
“In order to hammer down these stakes here
we found an old banana and we smashed the stakes in because it had frozen
Senior Erika Pietrzak serves as the captain of the Das Boot tent and has been to nearly every Duke home game this season
She said it’s bittersweet knowing her K-Ville experience is coming to an end
but she applied to grad school at Duke in hopes of keeping her tradition going
and I don’t want to let this go,” Pietrzak said
“If I could do this for the rest of my life
Pietrzak said her parents also tented in K-Ville in the 1980s
“It was also something that they didn’t realize how big it would get to,” Pietrzak said
“They didn’t think this would be something that would continue year after year
that has to have a whole system in place for it and everything.”
said it’s hard to explain tenting to family and friends
“They look at you like you’re insane,” Eng said
Why are you sleeping in a tent?’” Yribarren said
‘You’re in the front row again at a game?’” Eng said
I get in line in order to get first into the game.’”
Senior student Emma Fleischman made a sign using Adobe Illustrator as an homage to the iconic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign
Fleischman’s sign says “Welcome to Fabulous KVille Durham.”
Fleischman said her same group of friends has tented the past two years
“It takes a lot to be a good tenter,” Fleischman said
“It takes being really reliable [and] being willing to shift your schedule around.”
Senior journalism student Abigail Bromberger said it’s upsetting that this year marks her last tenting
“It’s been one of my favorite parts of Duke.”
A tent is comprised of a maximum of 12 people
the maximum number of tents in Krzyzewskiville is 100 standard tents and an additional number of flex tents
Tents are allowed in K-Ville during the tenting season leading up to the home UNC game and in anticipation of select "Designated Big Games" at the discretion of the Head Line Monitors in accordance with athletics policy
Opportunities for tents in K-Ville are communicated by the head line monitors
Tents or any other structures are not allowed unless specified by the head line monitors or athletics
All tenters must refrain from tying anything — including tents — to trees
All tent frames and materials (including tarps) must be store-bought and flame retardant
All structures are subject to fire marshall approval
Tarps that are draped over tents may not be tucked underneath tents or pallets
students are asked to be aware of and avoid irrigation lines that run beneath the grass
Irrigation lines are be marked in a grid-like fashion with colored flags at the heads
no stakes are placed within a 1-foot radius of any flag
space heaters and propane tanks of any kind are not allowed in K-Ville
Any student or tent seen with these dangerous items will be removed from K-Ville and not allowed entry to the game they tented to attend (including UNC)
Students are responsible for removing all items brought into K-Ville

To ensure that each tent is appropriately representing its place in line
The line monitors may announce a tent check at any time by sounding a bullhorn siren
“We will do a few checks throughout the day and then several checks throughout the night just to make sure that everyone who says they’re here actually is,” Hess said
A line monitor circles K-Ville with the horn to ensure that it is heard by all tenters
tent members gather and go to Morton Plaza near Cameron Indoor Stadium
The line committee cannot check in a tent until all required members are present
Where tenters appear to be missing they are — at a minimum – given three warning calls over the bullhorn before being marked as absent
two minutes will be given to allow for tenters to check in
Line monitors are not held responsible for checks missed due to tenters using the bathroom
failing to hear the siren due to the use of noise-canceling headphones
being asleep in the tent or similar related circumstances
Digital evidence such as cellular data/location services/texts/etc cannot be used as proof of being in K-Ville

The <a href="https://www.kvillenation.com/policy&nbsp;" target="_blank">tenting season is divided into three sections</a>
From the beginning of tenting in early January for the first third of the season
tents of 12 must have two people in the tent during the day and 10 people each night
tents must have one person in the tent during the day and six people each night
tents still must have one person during the day but only two people each night
during which each of the 12 tent members must be at the tent for three of five personal checks spread over the two nights
it gets moved to the end of the line if there is availability
If K-ville is at full capacity and a waitlist exists at the time of the second miss
tenters can leave K'ville) in the event of severe weather
if temperatures reach lower than 32 degrees
more than two inches of snow falls or if winds reach 35 mph
The head line monitors will refer to the Weather Channel for weather estimations
The following guidelines are used when determining if students should leave K-Ville:
Anyone who has to use the restroom is asked to use the portable toilets in K-Ville
The IM Gym has accessible restrooms for tenters
these restrooms are open at the discretion of athletics staff
the IM restrooms are locked and inaccessible to tenters
and this policy may be updated to reflect updates and changes
Using the bushes or any other part of the K-Ville grounds is against university policy
The Cameron Crazies are known for their creative body paint
but they have to do their decoration in a way that keeps the mess contained
Painting should be confined to soft surfaces such as grass if possible
The athletics department provides some paint for games
but students are asked to be prepared -- to bring their own supply in case it runs out
Students should refrain from painting in the Wilson or IM bathrooms
2 Duke enters Saturday’s game with an 18-2 record (10-0 ACC) led by star freshman Cooper Flagg
“It is so exciting to see someone who can really do it all.”
Flagg is widely considered to be the top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft
He leads Duke in scoring (19.9 points per game)
Pietrzak was at the Jan. 7 game when Falgg had a<a href="/watch-cooper-flagg-throws-down-huge-dunk-in-duke-win-vs-pitt/21798656/"  > coast-to-coast, and-one dunk</a> against Pittsburgh
I’ve never seen that in Cameron before and I’ve been going to games for four years,” Eng said
Pietrzak echoed Eng’s sentiments about Flagg’s slam
you go up to someone you don’t even know and are high-fiving them.”

Coach K called Krzyzewskiville 'mini-Woodstock'Krzyzewskiville, the student-run city on Duke's campus, got its name in 1986 when a group of Duke students from the Mirecourt House decided to set up tents and camp outside <a href=https://goduke.com/sports/2020/7/10/experiences-cameron-indoor-stadium.aspx target=_blank>Cameron Indoor</a> ahead of the Blue Devils game against North Carolina for a whole four days
one of the students scribbled "Krzyzewskiville" on a makeshift cardboard sign out of the arena and the rest became history for the village that honors Krzyzewski
so they were really creative outside," Krzyzewski said on how the K-Ville tradition started
Bands (were) playing and we delivered pizzas and walked through

which begins in January and lasts six weeks leading up to the annual home North Carolina game
is now overseen by Duke and run by student line monitors who make sure each tent has at least one Duke student
When asked by Bird how important it was to have the student section play into their home court advantage during his 42 years in Durham
"I remember the defensive moments where you have that one-point lead or one-possession lead and you need a stop
"And when (Steve) Wojo (Wojciechowski) or Bobby Hurley (would) slap the floor
the building would shake and we’d make the stop
"The feeling you get from that I think is even greater than the feeling of a guy hitting a shot.”

Bobby Hurley was once brought out in a duffle bagIt's no surprise that when playing for a program like Duke invites criticism, heckling and sometimes hate from throughout country. Just ask<a href=https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/laettch01.html> Christian Laettner</a>
But the opposite can also happen. Krzyzewski even went so far as to compare the Blue Devils of the late 1980s and early '90s — which included Laettner, <a href=https://goduke.com/honors/duke-athletics-hall-of-fame/bobby-hurley/25>Hurley</a> and Grant Hill
Krzyzewski alleged that Hurley at one time had to exit a road game at Maryland through a back window and duffel bag to get onto the bus
"We were playing in Maryland (at the) Cole Field House (and) we had to sneak Bobby out through a window in a duffel bag because there were so many people wanting Hurley and (we were like)
Redick's one night out in KrzyzewskivilleRedick established himself as one of the best college basketball shooters in history during his four years at Duke
When asked if he ever camped out in K-Ville himself
the 2006 Naismith National Player of the Year told a story from his sophomore season when he went out the night before the Blue Devils defeated the Tar Heels 70-65
it was our last game of the season and I was a little bit of a frat kid my sophomore year and so we decided to go hangout in K-Ville," Redick said
People come in from all over and it’s not just the Duke students
I may have played a few games of beer pong with UNC fans in K-Ville the night before the UNC game."
Making a bow in three days is a tall order for anyone – but for six bow makers together
Pierre Nehr explains how April’s ‘Bow Rush’ event in Paris became an educational experience for all concerned
In 2019 the organisers of the Franco-European Viola Association
Anne-Aurore Anstett and Jacques Borsarello
they had organised a number of luthiers to collaborate on making a viola in just three days
The task had been successful and now they wanted my help to expand the project: would it be possible for six bow makers to work together on a single viola bow
would enable the participants to witness their own working methods in close proximity
and hopefully provide an interesting spectacle for the assembled crowd of musicians
The three-day time limit gave us the title of the project: ‘Bow Rush’
The idea sounded both crazy and unprecedented (for me
finishing a bow normally takes around two weeks)
bow making is a craft taught by a master bow maker to an apprentice
meaning that techniques and manufacturing conventions can vary wildly between makers
And even though all of us descend in some way from the ‘Mirecourt school’
and we’re all familiar with each other’s bows
none of us had ever observed one another at work
So the six people I contacted straight away were winners at the 2019 competition: Victor Bernard
although the last two had to drop out and were replaced by Emmanuel Carlier and Henry Guerra…

Professor of Violin at Rice University’s Shepherd School in Houston
Toscanini’s concertmaster of the NBC Symphony Orchestra
Goldsmith began his orchestral career at the age of 19 in 1958
when he became the youngest member of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra - then under the baton of Paul Paray.&nbsp; He went on to serve as concertmaster for several American symphony orchestras
where he formed an integrated string quartet
principal teachers and major influences included William Kroll
Passionate about new music,&nbsp; he formed the Group for Contemporary Music at Columbia University,&nbsp; and
commissioned and premiered more than 80 new works
honing his expertise in 20th century techniques with guidance from Carlos Chavez
He also played with several other chamber groups including the Fromm Foundation Quartet
the Nashville String Quartet (Blair Quartet)
Goldsmith also had a keen interest in historical performance
and playing chamber music on gut-strung violins throughout his life
He taught several American baroque violinists
including Anthony Martin (Philharmonia Baroque/Orchestra of the 18th Century/New Esterhazy Quartet)
Zachary Carretin (Music Director of Boulder Bach Festival)&nbsp;and Jude Ziliak (Sonnambula/American Bach Soloists/teacher).&nbsp; He also conducted much&nbsp;archival research on Classical composers; his work on Giuseppe Antonio&nbsp;Capuzzi&nbsp;led to a CD of world-premiere recordings of the Italian composer’s chamber works
But it is perhaps as a teacher that he will be primarily remembered
His teaching career began in 1964 at the new Blair Academy of Music (now the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University) in Nashville
He later went on to serve on the faculties of Stanford University (1966-71)
the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University.&nbsp; His students can now be found in major symphonic orchestras
and serving on the faculties of colleges and universities throughout the US.&nbsp;
when the Rolston Quartet sent him their recording of the first Tchaikovsky quartet and Souvenir de Florence with Gary Hoffman and Miguel da Silva last January
‘You have looked deeply into the soul of Chaikovskii and Russian music of the late romantics
and you have discovered a treasure trove of vigour
I cannot tell you how proud I am of your technical playing
I adore all of these three works and have performed the quartet and sextet often and and with great performers….but we never reached the level of profound understanding
and an overall cohesive presentation… which I found thrilling
I loved the Hopak and the seamless connecting of the scaler passages
and the lilt you give to the waltz passages

a versatile violinist and violist who plays jazz
it&#x27;s like a magic thing happens.&quot;
a Portland violin-maker whose 50 years in the trade will be celebrated this weekend at the
was instrumental in starting the show more than 35 years ago with about a dozen exhibitors
a guitar-maker on the event&#x27;s planning committee
This year about 85 makers will show violas
They represent only a portion of the region&#x27;s instrument-makers
whose numbers have grown since Schuback opened his first shop in downtown Portland in 1971
is to count the 3,600 members who pay $50 annual dues to the
2012 Northwest Handmade Musical Instrument Exhibit
Marking the 50th anniversary of Paul Schuback as an instrument-maker
15-minute concerts of handmade instruments and demonstrations by makers
Part of the growth over the decades is an increasing interest in a craft once centered in Europe
and part reflects the migration of instrument-makers to be near others in their field
in 1973 when he visited Schuback&#x27;s shop to scope out the potential for making a living in Portland
&quot;There were only a couple makers of any kind here,&quot; Elliott said
When I came back from packing up in Detroit
That was extraordinarily generous of Schuback
because repairs and adjustments pay the bills for many instrument-makers
Although Schuback makes instruments -- Parente has one of his violas -- his clients have returned over the years because of his ability to improve instrument sound by adjusting
the curved bridge of a cello or the sound post in a violin
The latter is a small dowel inside the instrument
that transfers sound from the top to the back of the violin
It affects the vibration -- and the tone -- between the top and back
even the thickness of a couple pieces of paper
it makes a difference,&quot; Schuback said during an interview recently while examining a cello he made nearly 30 years ago for Fred Sherry
an internationally known cellist affiliated with
brought it to the shop because the lower tones
metal stick inside one of the openings on the top of the cello
He pulled the bow across the strings to test the sound
which instantly seemed clearer and brighter
who seems to enjoy visiting with his clients as much as tending to their instruments
about a sound post adjustment he made for Sergiu Luca
The violinist is the founder of Chamber Music Northwest and a good friend with whom Schuback shared interests in food
&quot;Sergiu came back from Italy with a new violin and said it needs a new sound post,&quot; he said
&quot;It was perfect the first time,&quot; Schuback said
sat in the main level of his Pearl District shop
and estimated he had been a teacher or mentor to more than 60 makers of instruments in the violin family
Schuback was 7 when he began playing the violin in Switzerland
and with his mother&#x27;s help he chose a three-year apprenticeship with Rene Moricot in Mirecourt
where instruments have been made since the late 16th century
the apprentices worked with hand tools to learn old French techniques from the man whom Schuback still calls &quot;my master.&quot;
Then he learned German techniques in Mittenwald
a Bavarian town where violin-making dates from the late 17th century
Schuback wears jeans to the shop most days
clean shirt and a tie under his work apron
That was part of his European training.&quot;
&quot;He&#x27;s demanding in terms of the quality he expects,&quot; Elliott said
But he&#x27;s pretty flexible on how you do things
a former manager of some of the six shops Schuback has had in Portland
said his former boss &quot;elevated the musical instrument scene and established new high standards.&quot; Moreland now has his own shop in Battle Ground
Some of his contributions to Portland aren&#x27;t musical but related to civic improvement through his service on the Portland Planning Commission
the Historical Landmarks Commission and the Design Review Board
halted the long run of &quot;Deep Throat,&quot; a 1972 porn film that ran in the Aladdin Theatre
a 1920s vaudeville house that was then a neighborhood film house
on Southeast Milwaukie and Powell Boulevard
&quot;was a really marvelous contribution to Portland.&quot;

and could you pick one out in a blind test
The Strad magazine got the leader of the London Symphony Orchestra to play six different violins in a blind test - one of them being a legendary Stradivarius model from 1709
Listen to the test below and see if you can work out which violin is the Stradivarius - you might be surprised&hellip;
The other violins that you can hear are an 1850 Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, a 1923 Giuseppe Fiorini, a modern Del Ges&ugrave; copy, a Mirecourt French trade violin from around 1900 and an 1835 A.S.P.

The revered climber on how his mountain home shaped his life and still surprises him with its ever-changing views
</a>All climbers come to the Dolomites – just as they go to Yosemite – at least once in their life
and to follow their predecessors on the most difficult routes
I still climb a bit but I’m not at the level I was at 25
I climbed to 2,700 metres on quite an easy route – but it was rock climbing

Photograph: ShutterstockEach mountain in the Dolomites is like a piece of art
Le Corbusier called them the most beautiful buildings in the world
He said God built them; I’d say nature did
The Dolomites have a special face: no other range in the world has this
Every week I find a view that I haven’t seen before
so the colours change – maybe the sun is in a different position or some mist is coming in
This is the great thing about nature: it doesn’t repeat itself
My museums were a way of giving something back
and then had the opportunity to travel the world and do more than 100 expeditions
I’m trying to bring home my mountain heritage and knowhow

farmers would work hard in the woods and meadows
They’d take a piece of speck (dry-cured ham)
a local speciality; each farmer makes his own flavour
The farmers bake it once a year and let it get hard
You can’t take normal bread to the mountains in winter as it gets full of ice crystals
but this hard bread you can eat at any temperature
I learned to ski in the Dolomites at the age of five
Mount Ortler is the highest peak in South Tyrol
There are places there where maybe only five people a year go
I produce schnapps on my farm but I’m not fond of drinking it
Albert Frederick Mummery and Chris Bonington are the British climbers I most admire
Mummery pioneered guideless climbing and was maybe the most important climber of all time
And Bonington was a fabulous and very creative climber
He brought Britain back to being a leading nation of climbers
KART-SM The fourth round of the autobau Swiss Kart Championship (SKM) in Mirecourt (F) again offered good motorsport on small wheels
In the top class KZ2 and in the Super Mini
More than 80 drivers started on the international kart track of Mirecourt
a two-hour drive from the north-western Swiss border
two hours drive from the north-western Swiss border
for the races of the autobau Swiss Kart Championship
Nicolas Rohrbasser and André Reinhard each won a preliminary heat in the KZ2 manual karts (125 cc
Last year's champion Loic Vindice could not quite keep up for once
The fast trio also pulled away from the field in this order in the final
but neither Reinhard nor Vindice found a way past the experienced Rohrbasser
The Geneva native now leads the championship with 249 points ahead of Reinhard (200)
neither Pascal Von Allmen nor the rest of the competitors found a recipe against the unleashed Samuel Weibel
who won all three races in superior fashion
Von Allmen's lead in the standings over Weibel has therefore shrunk to three points (228 to 225)
Patrick Näscher had to concede defeat to Steven Planchamp from Western Switzerland in the Iame X30 Challenge
The Liechtensteiner never came close to the podium
even retired in the second race (tire defect) and lost many points
who was threateningly close to Elliott Shaw in the final
now took over the top spot in the standings (247 p.) from Näscher (238)
Overall leader Mike Müller had a tough time in the X30 Juniors in Mirecourt
remained colorless and was never able to intervene in the fight for the day's victory
but a carom threw him far behind and later he even had to retire from the race
This cleared the way for Jasin Ferati ahead of champion Savio Moccia
Elia Sperandio showed nerves for the first time after dominant performances in the first three SKM rounds and qualified only ninth
After finishing second in the first race behind Shannon Lugassy
the eleven-year-old fought back mercilessly and clearly secured the other two victories
His lead of 102 points over second-placed Michael Sauter is bigger than in any other SKM class

2019“Strings and Celebrities” (Pardes Publishing)
a book by the retired Haifa-based historian Uri Kupferschmidt
Its primary subject is the biography of Jacques Wolfgang Hakkert
Young Jacques (born 1891) trained in making stringed musical instruments in the French town of Mirecourt (still a professional center in this field)
from 1910 he directed a factory for strings next to his parents’ store and greatly expanded it until he fled from Holland in 1942
KART-SM André Reinhard and Patrick Näscher again dominated their competition in Mirecourt (F) in the classes KZ2 and OK-Senior
Both are thus well on the way to the championship title
there was a new final winner in the X30 Juniors

The fourth of the six rounds of the autobau Swiss Kart Championship 2018 (SKM) took place on the international kart track of Mirecourt
The summer heat demanded everything from the almost one hundred SKM drivers on the fast track with generous run-off zones and many overtaking opportunities
which is about two hours' drive from the Swiss border
KZ2: Reinhard plays out his experience Championship leader André Reinhard (CRG/TM) was untouchable in the top class of switch karts from start to finish
He dominated qualifying as well as the three race heats
Only Quentin Voria (Croc Promotions/TM) was able to keep him behind him for two laps in the final
André Reinhard: "I was able to use all my experience here in these hot and difficult conditions
you have to adapt the set-up of the kart to these special conditions
Because his rival Hicham Mazou (Kosmic/TM) could not cope with the track conditions due to the heat
Quentin Voria has now caught up with him in terms of points
Reinhard's lead at the top of the standings is already so large that the third KZ title
OK Senior: Patrick Näscher clears all race wins again Patrick Näscher (Mach1/TM) dominated the OC Seniors at will
the Liechtensteiner won all three races clearly and took the maximum of 75 points
The other podium places went to Titus Schmidli and Mirco Gervasoni
Last year's runner-up Pascal von Allmen is already 102 points behind Näscher
there were again only two OC juniors at the start
who contested their race together with the X30 seniors
Fagone dominated the field and also leads clearly in the overall standings
Iame X30 Challenge Switzerland: A trio fights for the title As in the previous races
Alain Baeriswyl and Savio Moccia decided the race wins among themselves
but due to a jostle at the start of the race his spoiler was pushed down
which automatically resulted in a ten-second penalty
karting lady Lena Bühler landed on the podium in third place behind Mocchia
Tension at the top of the standings: Buntschu (239 points)
Baeriswyl (228) and Moccia (226) are separated by just 13 points
no one had Michael Sauter on the bill for victory in the final race
But the Praga/Iame pilot stormed up and away from the start and won by six seconds
"We had big problems with the carburetor in the heats
but were able to solve them in time for the final," said a delighted Sauter
who celebrated his first final victory in this class
Second place went to young Toni Kayla Naude
who has switched from the OK Juniors to the X30 Juniors
The championship remains highly exciting: In the overall standings
the top 4 are separated by just seven points
Super Mini: Razor-thin victory for Josseron In the class of the youngest from 8 years (engine 60 cc
centrifugal clutch) Kilian Josseron celebrated his first final victory
The youngster fended off all attacks at the end of the eleven laps to win by just 0.047 seconds from Sebastian Kraft and 0.188 from overall leader Shannon Lugassy
Ekaterina Lüscher remains first in the championship
