I'm Rob. Neil And I'm Neil. Rob Now Neil, I know you're a keen swimmer. Neil I am. I try to get to the pool once a week and do a few lengths, yes. Rob That's good to hear because swimming is one of the best sports for keeping fit. It's an aerobic exercise – aerobic means a very active type of exercise that makes your heart and lungs stronger. The opposite of this is anaerobic – and for my question today Neil, I wonder if you know which of these activities is an example of anaerobic exercise? a) weightlifting b) kickboxing c) dancing Neil I don't have a clue but I'll pick my favourite sport – a) weightlifting.

    Aquarium Mermaids Multiskilled Entrepreneurs in the Creative Economy Tracy C. Davis and Sara Malou Strandvad Perhaps all children who become obsessed with Ariel in The Little Mermaid wish, for a time, that they could become merpeople.1 A few fulfil the dream. Today, self-declared merpeople (usu- ally cis-female mermaids, but signaled here with a gender-inclusive neologism) are on display in several contexts, on dry land as well as in water. The amateur leisure practices of mermaid cos- tuming and swimming are growing; they take place in local pools and at exotic tourist destina- tions and involve various time and financial commitments, as well as degrees of role immersion for the “mermaiding” participants and devotees (Hietzge 2014; Porter and Lück 2018; Stebbins 2001, 2007).2 Merpeople also surface (and descend) in newly popular performance niches as party attractions and entertainers at charitable events. These practices consolidate the figure of the mermaid among other staples — fairy-tale characters, pirates, and adventure heroes — as an identifiable and gendered fantasy type.3 Some practitioners transcend leisure pursuits and secure 1. This research was partially supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. 2. English is the lingua franca of the mermaid community and hence the English gerund “mermaiding” is used internationally. 3.
