text: Craig Boddington - January 04, 2011 Meet The .375 Ruger Maybe we do need another .375 By Craig Boddington Hornady's initial offerings for the .375 Ruger are, left to right, 270-grain InterLock spirepoint, 300-grain InterBond roundnose, 300-grain FMJ roundnose. Initial testing in Africa proved to the author that these bullets do everything anyone needs a .375 to do.It was early in the year when I heard the first rumor about a "new .375 cartridge." It remained cloaked in secrecy for some time, but so what? Ho hum, yawn. Anything anybody needed in a .375-caliber cartridge was done in by Holland and Holland in 1912, right? Anything anybody thought they needed in a .375 cartridge was done by Roy Weatherby, not once but twice (.375 and .378 Weatherby Magnums)--and again by Remington in 2000 with the .375 RUM. Well, no hurry; this new wonder boy will come along in due time, and I'll have to grit my teeth and write about it.Such was my attitude in early June 2006 when Steve Hornady and I went to Zimbabwe. I must be a retro sort of guy; I was extremely excited about the first American rifle and load for the .450/.400-3 inch (.400 Jeffery) that I carried, and I wasn't in the least jealous that Steve carried the first M77 Ruger in .375 Ruger. I must say that Steve did some very good work with this rifle and cartridge. During the course of nearly three weeks he took more than a dozen animals from impala to Cape buffalo in size with the .375 Ruger, and he managed to use all three of Hornady's loads for the new cartridge: 270-grain Interlock spirepoint, 300-grain InterBond roundnose and 300-grain FMJ roundnose. OK, I was actually, grudgingly, impressed. Steve Hornady hadn't been in Africa for a long, long time, but he's done as much mountain hunting as anyone I know. He shot like a machine, making difficult shots look easy and easy shots look like child's play. Yeah, I probably look like I'm thinking, "This is gonna hurt." With a fairly short, trim barrel and the standard-length action the M77 in .375 Ruger is fairly light and produces stout recoil off the bench--but it isn't unmanageable, and most experienced shooters should be able to handle it.But nobody makes taking that amount of game look easy with a poor rifle or an unsuitable cartridge, nor can it be done without consistently good bullet performance. In his hands the .375 Ruger performed at least as well as any .375 H&H I've ever seen. A BRAND-NEW .375This is not damning with faint praise, not at all. The .375 H&H provides one of the world's greatest benchmarks for performance. Throughout most of Africa it is the accepted minimum for thick-skinned dangerous game, and it is also a world standard in terms of versatility. With a 95-year track record, it is also a benchmark for bullet performance. Any .375 cartridge must first be judged against the H&H. It is my opinion that the primary reason the .376 Steyr failed is because it didn't come close enough in performance. The .378 Weatherby, on the other hand, has never been popular because it is too much of a good thing: too much more recoil and too fast for most .375 bullets.Wayne Holt checking zero on his synthetic-stocked Ruger M77 Mk II in .375 Ruger. The author has now seen four different .375 Ruger rifles, and all have shot very well.The .375 Ruger is not the .375 H&H, but it measures up well, and in all ways. In fact, as much as it truly galls me to say this, the .375 Ruger is probably a better cartridge. (Ouch, just typing that line hurt me.) The .375 Ruger is a joint project between Hornady and Ruger, and it is the first big-game rifle cartridge to bear the Ruger name. It starts with a very clever case, a straight, unbelted case with exactly the same .532-inch rim as the .375 H&H. Since it is a rimless, unbelted case that doesn't "step down" in front of the belt, it is thus a fatter case than the .375. The case ends at 21?2 inches--.30 inch shorter than the .375 H&H--but since it's a bit fatter and has no taper before the shoulder, it slightly exceeds the .375 H&H in powder capacity. The goal of the engineers was not to exceed .375 H&H performance but simply to equal it in a cartridge that would fit in a standard-length (.30-06-length) action and fit existing belted magnum bolt faces. Based purely on case capacity, a fairly straight .532-inch-diameter case with a fairly sharp shoulder should do this, and it does. Except that the engineers didn't factor in the bonus delivered by the shorter, fatter case. Steve Hornady, hunting with PH Paul Smith of Chifuti Safaris, took the first buffalo to fall to the .375 Ruger. The impact of the 300-grain InterBond dropped this old bull, but he got up again and was quickly put down with a follow-up shot.It turns out that the .375 Ruger easily exceeds standard .375 H&H velocities in all bullet weights, delivering a significant bonus of more than 100 fps with the 300-grain bullet and approaching 200 fps with a 270-grain bullet. The efficiency of the cartridge actually yields a dual bonus. The full velocity increase can be had from a slightly shorter barrel--as in 22 or 23 inches--and a short 20-inch barrel at least equals and will generally exceed .375 H&H velocity. The velocity bonus is significant because it provides considerably more energy, slightly flattens trajectory and, from a pure marketing standpoint, places the .375 Ruger very close to the .375 Weatherby Magnum and .375 Remington Ultra Magnum in performance. Personally, I don't give much of a hoot about the extra velocity. It's OK, but, after all, the .375 H&H has been adequate since 1912, so I don't think that is what is most important about the new cartridge.Rather, I think the case design is extremely clever from a manufacturer's standpoint because you have a bigger, fatter case that will not only fit existing bolt faces (as do rebated rims) but also feed well from existing magazine boxes. Is it significant that it fits in a .30-06-length action? As with most things in life, what you see depends on where you sit.It is very significant for Ruger because its .375-length (actually, a full-size magnum that also accommodates the .416 Rigby) action is only built into its M77 Mk II "express" rifle, an excellent rifle that is more than twice as expensive as the standard Ruger M77 Mk II--which is only available in a .30-06-length action.The .375 Ruger gives the company the opportunity, for the first time, to house this level of power, performance and versatility in the standard Ruger M77 Mk II. It happens to be significant for me personally because its only left-hand action is also .30-06 length. The company is introducing the .375 Ruger in two configurations under the M77 "Hawkeye" name: a wooden-stock, 23-inch-barrel model called the M77 Hawkeye "African" and a Jim Hogue synthetic-stock, 20-inch-barrel version, which will be known as the "Alaskan." The front sight is Ruger's standard barrelband assembly with a highly visible 3/32-inch bead on the ramp.Both are equipped with Ruger's scope-mounting system. The only special feature--and it's a good one--is that these rifles have a very good and sturdy fixed-blade rear sight with a 3/32-inch front bead on a barrelband ramp. Left-hand models--good news for me, of course--will be available by mid-2007.IN MOZAMBIQUEIn early September Hornady's Wayne Holt and Ruger's Ken Jorgensen joined me at outfitter J.P. Kleinhans' camp in coastal Mozambique to film a segment for our Petersen's Hunting Adventures TV show. I had been in Africa for some time before they arrived, and unfortunately, a left-hand version of the .375 Ruger couldn't be cobbled together before I departed. No matter--Wayne and Ken came in well heeled. Ken had a .375 Ruger in the classic M77 walnut stock, still a prototype but exactly the way this version will be marketed. Wayne had one in the Jim Hogue synthetic, the only difference from the version that will hit the market being that his still wore a 23-inch barrel rather than the 20-inch tube that will appear on the production model. Both rifles had the new iron sights, and I like them very much; they are far superior to the "mostly for looks" folding leaves long supplied. We checked zero on the runway--hardly a perfect range setup, but it had seemed to me that Steve Hornady's .375 Ruger shot very well, and it seemed to me that both of these did also. Certainly, they were good enough to go hunting with, and that's exactly what we did.A new wrinkle on the Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger is this sturdy, visible fixed-blade rear sight, a vast improvement over the folding-leaf sight long supplied on the M77 Mk II.Once again, there should be no surprise in what a cartridge that slightly exceeds a .375 H&H should do on game, provided the bullets perform. The Hornady bullets--on this hunt, fast 270-grain Interlocks and deep-penetrating 300-grain FMJs--performed perfectly, and thus the cartridge did as well. Game taken ranged from warthog and bushbuck on up through sable and waterbuck, then up again to buffalo and crocodile.Perhaps the most spectacular example was, at least to my eye, Ken Jorgensen's buffalo. We got on that herd in late afternoon, with very little time for finesse. They quickly found a good bull in the middle of the herd, but other buffalo covered him up, and as the afternoon melted away he refused to come clear for a shot. Ken and J.P. maneuvered as long as they could, but when the sun was almost setting they used the standard last-light field-expedient tactic of charging into the herd, hoping the bull they'd selected would do the right thing.He did. The herd spooked, of course, as they often do in the evening. They pulled up short, and, luckily, the bull they wanted turned and gave them a clear frontal shot. Ken and J.P. had already put on the brakes and put up the shooting sticks, so when the bull faced them Ken gave him a perfect frontal shot with a 270-grain Interlock. The author's left-hand Ruger M77 Mk II in .375 Ruger groups very acceptably with the 270-grain Hornady Interlock. This particular rifle, at least so far, is actually the least accurate of the four .375 Rugers he has seen.Most of the time a bull hit in this manner will take three or four steps forward to regain his balance, then he'll whirl and run the almost obligatory 50 or 60 yards of a buffalo hit perfectly in the chest. This bull took the bullet, tried to turn, fell over and didn't get back up. Absent a spine shot, this truly is as good as it gets and is a very rare thing to observe.On plains game the .375 Ruger continued its spectacular performance, but that should also not be a surprise. Since 1912 the .375 H&H has provided one of the finest one-rifle safari batteries available, and in a shorter, lighter, handier rifle with a .30-06-length action the .375 Ruger will do the same. Wayne Holt shot a very fine sable, also at last light. Sable are extremely tough, and this bull was in a big herd. I wasn't worried, but I was definitely concerned; if he didn't get him down on the spot, we would have a hard time finding him before morning. No worries--Wayne shot him very well, and the .375 Ruger literally threw him to the ground.On another afternoon I used Wayne's rifle to take a lovely waterbuck. The bull had been bedded during the stalk, but just as we got in range and got set, he got up and faced me. This animal, too, folded to a frontal shot with the 270-grain Interlock. A LEFTY AT LASTI left Ken and Wayne in Mozambique to do a bit more hunting and headed home. As Ken had promised, when I got home there was a long Ruger box awaiting me, and in it was the very first left-hand Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger. This was a walnut-stocked rifle, 23-inch barrel, good iron sights. In another box was plenty of Hornady ammo. I wasted little time getting it to the range, and in a proper left-hand rifle I can offer more detailed shooting impressions.The .375 H&H, left, with the new .375 Ruger. The new cartridge uses the same .532-inch rim diameter, but the belt is fatter and the body taper has slightly more case capacity even though, at 2 1/2 inches, it's .30 inch shorter.Accuracy in this particular left-hand rifle is good, but in my opinion it's not as good as Steve Hornady's rifle was. This is no surprise; accuracy in any factory rifle is going to vary, and I saw the normal variance from good enough to very, very good. Too, none of the barrels have been shot enough to have been properly broken in, so at this stage good enough is definitely good enough.Recoil is considerable. The .375 H&H is a pussycat for its power level, but when you go up from .375 H&H velocity you are going to go up fast in recoil. Ruger's straight stock design helps considerably, but you must also take into account the fact that, with a shorter barrel and a lighter (smaller equals lighter) action, most .375 Ruger rifles will be lighter than most .375 H&H rifles. They do produce a bit more recoil. I can handle it. Ken, Steve and Wayne could handle it. My girlfriend, Donna (who is also left-handed), tried it and wasn't too sure about it. For almost anyone, however, the .375 Ruger kicks enough to take some getting used to, and I don't recommend shooting it off the bench any more than is absolutely necessary.The author and professional hunter J.P. Kleinhans with a good waterbuck, dropped in its tracks with a frontal shot with a 270-grain Hornady InterLock.Feeding is superb, not only in the left-hand rifle but in all the right-hand rifles I have seen. As most of you know by now, obtaining smooth feeding can be problematic with our new short, fat magnums, but this does not seem to be a problem with this cartridge, at least not in the Ruger M77 with .30-06-length action.The reason I abandoned Wayne Holt and Ken Jorgensen in the wilds of Mozambique was because I had a short turnaround before a long-awaited safari in Tanzania. I'm leaving in just a few days, and that left-hand .375 Ruger is already in my gun case, with both solids and softs in my bulging duffel bag. We're going to a new area, and I have no idea exactly what we'll find, but I'm certain the .375 Ruger will be up to the challenge--just as certain as I am that Hornady and Ruger have a winner of a .375 cartridge, a cartridge that may well redefine, for the first time since 1912, our concept of the world's best all-around cartridge.

A massive modernization push is imminent for Russian aerospace defense: The air force alone could receive 4.5 trillion rubles ($136 billion) over 10 years, about one-quarter of the overall drive to upgrade Russia's Soviet-era weaponry.
The money will help replace about 70% of the air force fleet by 2020 and position it to acquire the Sukhoi T-50—a fighter advanced enough to rival the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter—as well as a stealthy, long-range bomber, and to overhaul its surface-to-air missile stockpile. However, analysts caution that the plan's financial scope may be unrealistic.
For now, the investments are on track. During a series of briefings by military officials and defense manufacturers in late November, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the procurement program adopted in 2010. The meetings amounted to the first public audit of the program to ensure that the investments are on track—a domestic show of support for the Russian defense industry, despite the country's economic stagnation.
The list includes accelerating replacement of old aircraft in the air force fleet. Putin has announced that the military will have received 86 new and, modernized fixed-wing aircraft and more than 100 new helicopters this year, and will take delivery of up to 120 fixed-wing aircraft and 90 helicopters in 2014. In 2011 and 2012, just 263 new aircraft were delivered to the military units.
By 2020, the air force aims to have a total of 1,600 new aircraft, renewing about 70% of its fleet.
So far, the air force's orderbook consists of Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers and Su-30M2/SM and Su-35 multirole fighters. In 2014, the air force plans to rearm one air regiment with the Su-34s, according to Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu. A training air base in Borisoglebsk is to be reequipped with Yakovlev Yak-130 jet trainers; 18 of the type were delivered in 2013, out of 55 ordered.
According to the head of the United Aircraft Corp. (UAC), Mikhail Pogosyan, the Sukhoi T-50 will start official evaluation tests with the air force in 2014. The first phase of these trials is expected to be completed in 2015, he says. The five prototypes involved in the preliminary test program have logged more than 450 flights. The Russian defense ministry issued technical requirements for the future long-range bomber to the corporation in September. "We are now at the stage of drawing up the contracts to start the full-scale development of this aircraft beginning next year," Pogosyan says.

Dereck Chisora says rival Tyson Fury won't stand the heat when they collide in their big heavyweight showdown on Saturday 26th July at the Phones 4 U Arena in Manchester.
Chisora meets Fury in a crucial WBO World Heavyweight Title Eliminator with his European title and the Vacant British title on the line, and today he met with the media at Fredericks restaurant in Islington, North London, before commencing his training camp for the bitter clash.
The Finchley puncher displayed his culinary skills by flambéing a rabbit, controlling some intense flames and saying that he'll do the same to undefeated Fury who brings the same kind of fire to the ring.
"I can't wait for July 26th, it's still over 17 weeks away and I feel like cooking Fury right now," Said Chisora.
"However you want to put it, boiled, fried or roasted, Fury's getting cooked. He won't be able to stand the heat that I'm bringing to him so he'll definitely be leaving my kitchen, the ring, once I start turning up the heat,"
"Fury is just like that rabbit, he'll be running, but I'll hunt him down and eventually catch up with him and then it's game over."
Although Chisora lost to Fury back in July 2011, losing his British and Commonwealth belts and undefeated record, he says to expect a completely different fighter this time around.
He added, "That was three years ago and I've reborn as a fighter since then,"
"Trust me, when you see what I do to Fury this time, you'll have to look at the first fight again to see if it's the same Dereck Chisora,"
"They say revenge is best served cold, it's been three years but it will be a cold and calculated performance from me on the night."
Chisora v Fury headlines The Fight For The Right event, sponsored by Rainham Steel, with Billy Joe Saunders challenging Emanuel Blandamura for the Vacant European Middleweight Championship in the chief-support, with more title fights to be added.
Tickets are available now, priced from £50, through Eventim on 0844 249 1000 or eventim.co.uk

Guitar Guru: Stu G On The Best Advice He's Ever Received - Part 2
Posted by Stu G on 10 February 2015
We asked Stu G - the man who brought Radiohead guitars to the church and raised the songwriting bar - to share the very best advice that he's ever received. He couldn't stick to one story though, so this is the second of our 2-part series. Tune up, lean in and enjoy…
"I once visited Pete Cornish, the English builder of pedalboards and effects to some of the greatest guitar players in the world.
When I arrived at his country workshop in southern England, he had two of Dave Gilmore's amps in the workshop that he was trying things out on.
I was enquiring about pedalboards and such like and in the end my curiosity got the better of me, like it does every time.
Most of us electric guitar players gather a few pedals and lump them on a board and power them up with a 9v power supply giving it little thought.
I asked Pete if he used noise gates or hush technology of some sort to reduce hum and noise.
He kind of looked at me as if to say, 'my dear boy' and simply said: "we remove the problem at the source. We don't deal with the symptoms, we remove the problem."
On a Pete Cornish board every input and output of every pedal is buffered with exactly the right impedance and level to reduce the risk of unwanted noise. Every pedal's power socket is isolated not allowing dc hum or digital noise to occur.
I've never been able to afford a Cornish board but that simple piece of advice has made me work hard at eliminating noise problems before they arise. There's not much you can do about dirty power from the wall or your single coil pickups roaring like Godzilla because of the hearing aid loop in the church hall, but there is much that can be done to avoid unwanted hums and buzzes and a ton of products out there to help us achieve our dream (or at least useable) tone.
So, as much as possible:
• Don't run power cables alongside signal cables. Where they need to cross try and do it at 90˚
• Use isolating transformers or adapters for power to Overdrives/fuzzes and high current digital devices
• Use a high quality buffer especially when using longer cable runs such as the Humdinger by TheGigRig.com
• Use high quality low capacitance cable for wiring your board
• Always keep your amp grounded."

Corvette Dune Buggy?
A man has taken his Corvette and modified it to his needs which are probably much different than other Corvette owners. The conversion has transformed into an almost Mad Max style Corvette. It has been gutted and exposed a lot of the inner workings. It is an interesting build to say the last. Have a look at it below and learn more about it in the link below.
Photo from: https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--OiC8rPlo--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/vimjaiporynyze8cewvi.jpg
Key Takeaways:
1. A man has modified his Corvette to his needs.

3. The Corvette now looks like a dune buggy but with the speed and power of a Corvette.
Quote: "I also can't help but see the desert racing dune buggy like structure that's been hiding under all that sports car. Amazing what a set of 31" tires will do for a Corvette. The mustache and mullet complete the look though." (Caswell, 2017)

Discover Frank Lloyd Wright's Family Retreat
"Like all Frank Lloyd Wright homes we have a leaky roof," said Sarah Levi about a quirk for which Wright houses were notorious. Levi, 34, had spent the past year as scholar-in-residence at the David and Gladys Wright home in Arizona. "I became accustomed to a minimalist lifestyle. Only Wright family members lived in and appreciated the home," she added, about the unique environment architect Frank Lloyd Wright—Levi's great, great grandfather—created for his son and daughter-in-law. Growing up in the Wright clan had a profound influence on the Arizona-bred woman.
In fact, Levi had such a strong connection to the landscape and family home that she devoted her master's thesis to a feasibility study and has since taken on the knotty process of transforming the iconic property into a house museum. "For months now the David Wright House has been in discussions with potential partners, including non-profit organizations to advance the mission of the Foundation and to preserve the home." Levi emailed, confirming they're in a holding pattern. "The discussions are still ongoing at this time," she said, explaining the plan for the David Wright house and property to eventually be assigned landmark status.
Completed in 1952 for David Wright and his wife Gladys (Levi's mother's grandfather and grandmother), the three-bedroom, two-bath 2,500-square-foot house was located in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix on two acres in the middle of a citrus grove. The elevated home incorporated elements of Wright's Usonian ideal—notably a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces, simple materials, and the use of built-in furnishings. Referred to as "A Modern Castle in the Air" in an issue of House Beautiful magazine published in 1955, the home was sited with spectacular views of Camelback Mountain accessed from several vantage points in the home. The spiral construction also served as a study and precursor to the Guggenheim Museum, which underscored Wright's longstanding fascination with that motif. Levi added, "We were essentially a test run for the ramp in the museum."
In Phoenix, a ramp, leading from the ground floor courtyard—where, formerly, there was a swimming pool—up to the front door were supported by seven concrete block piers. Upon entering the home, visitors encounter a large circular living room and cylindrical kitchen installed with windows that are round. A curved hallway leads from the living room where Wright's March Balloons rug was recently reproduced from the original drawings in the Wright archives. Movie producer Joel Silver purchased the original at auction in Los Angeles in 2010. "Some of my earliest memories were dancing with my grandfather around the circles in the rug," Levi, about the overlapping geometric patterning inspired by a series of Liberty magazine covers Wright designed in the 1920s.

How the Devil Got His Horns: A Diabolical Tale
When not being an over-staffed nannying monolith with its tentacles thrust into every orifice of British cultural life, Aunty Beeb can produce some things worth watching.
"Art historian and critic Alastair Sooke reveals how the Devil's image was created by artists of the Middle Ages. He explores how, in the centuries between the birth of Christ and the Renaissance, visual interpretations of the Devil evolved, with the embodiment of evil appearing in different guises - tempter, tyrant, and rebellious angel. Alastair shows how artists used their imaginations to give form to Satan, whose description is absent from the Bible. Exploring some of the most remarkable art in Europe, he tells the stories behind that art and examines the religious texts and thinking which inspired and influenced the artists. The result is a rich and unique picture of how art and religion have combined to define images of good and evil."

Faculty Appointments Register
The Faculty Appointments Register (FAR) is an online database of information submitted by individuals who are interested in faculty positions at law schools.
Historically, the FAR has been used primarily by individuals interested in entry- level tenure-track and junior lateral (tenure-track, pre-tenure) positions. The AALS, however, does not impose restrictions on either candidates. Schools looking to hire laterally often place those hiring notices in the Placement Bulletin.
Candidates who participate in the FAR fill out an online form that asks for information on education, teaching and employment experience, and bar passage. When this information has been uploaded, it becomes searchable by members of hiring committees at AALS member, fee-paid, and other participating schools.
Once your school completes the online submission form and pays an access fee, your school is entitled to all of the AALS Faculty Recruitment Resources. Your recruitment team may access the FAR online database at any time starting in mid-June. Note that AALS collates and releases the candidate information in three timed batches (called "distributions") throughout the hiring season.
Interviewers are responsible for reviewing the information in the FAR database, identifying potential candidates, and contacting those candidates to schedule interviews at the Faculty Recruitment Conference.

Mine didn't rise hardly at all, but they still turned out pretty good! The nutmeg gives it a pleasant yet unexpected taste. We preferred ours plain or dusted with powdered sugar rather than w/frosting.

Spanish Learners of English
In this blog post, we will look at major differences between English and Spanish languages. We will also look at some common errors by Spanish learners of English. In other words, problems faced by native Spanish speakers, who are trying to learn English as their Second Language.
Spanish and English
Before getting into structural details, let us understand the equation between Spanish and English. Both English and Spanish languages belong to the Indo-European Language Family. However English is a Germanic language while Spanish is a Romance language. This predictably makes them quite different in a lot of aspects.
According to Language Hierarchy given byDe Swan, English is a Hyper-Central language. This means almost people in all parts of the world speak some English at least. Spanish, on the other hand, lies just next to it in the hierarchy as a Super-central language. Super-central language has functions across many parts of the world.
Note that De Swan also describes four kinds of second language learners, which are classified on the basis of their purpose, goals and motivation behind learning another language. For instance, according to this classification, a Spanish speaker who wishes to learn English for getting higher education in an English speaking University would fall under the group of Classroom L2 Learners.
Pronunciation Problems for Spanish Learners of English
To know about the pronunciation problems for Spanish students of English, one can look at the differences between the Phonology of English and Spanish. This is because vast majority of research in Second Language Acquisition says that L 1 (or First Language) has an impact on L2 (Second Language) learning. To understand this point better, you can refer to this complete post on Factors Affecting Second Language Learning and Development.
Differences between English and Spanish languages
Starting with Segmental Phonology, there are quite a lot of similarities in the consonant system of the two languages. However, these languages have remarkably different.vowel, stress and intonation patterns. Spanish, for instance, does not make length distinction in vowels, unlike English. This is why Spanish learners typically find English vowels difficult to recognize and learn.
English and Spanish also differ in terms of the intonation patterns. And this is the reason why Spanish learners of English face problems with getting the sentence rhythm right. This is so remarkable that sometimes it makes them incomprehensible to native English speakers.
Another challenging area is 'consonant clusters', which are common in English, but not so much in Spanish. English allows a lot of consonant clustering at the initial, medial and final position of the words. However, consonant clusters are pretty rare in Spanish. Hence, Spanish speakers, learning English as a second language have a tendency to skip or drop consonants in such clusters.
Lastly, coming to supra-segmental features, Spanish is a syllable-timed language, unlike English, where stressed syllables are accompanied by a change in pitch. Also, the unstressed syllables are somewhat reduced. Spanish speakers, while speaking English, use a narrower pitch, which can make them sound bored to English speakers.
English vs Spanish Spelling
As we know, the spellings of words in the English language do not always correspond to how they are pronounced. However, unlike English, the sound and spelling match is quite high in Spanish. For this reason, English orthography becomes especially confusing to the Spanish speakers writing in English.
However, the punctuation part is similar in both the languages, and so there are fewer problems encountered by the Spanish learners of English in this area. There is problem picking up capitalization, however, as it is absent in Spanish. Spanish speakers find it difficult to get English verb contractions, as verbs do not get contracted in Spanish.
Spanish Learning of English Syntax
After comparing english and spanish patterns in phonology and orthography, we will now look at the structural differences in the two languages. There are quite a lot of grammatical similarities between English and Spanish. For instance, plurality of nouns, definiteness in articles, regular and irregular verb forms, occurrence of tense morphology, presence of number feature and grammatical gender, etc. However, Spanish has a much freer word order and is morphologically richer as compared to English.
Besides this, Spanish lacks question words and modal auxiliaries, which are present in English. Negation is also marked differently in Spanish. Lastly, a lot of Latin vocabulary is shared, however, that often makes Spanish learners speak a formal variety of English.

Common fixed point theorems for pairs of hybrid maps in G-symmetric spaces
The existence of the common fixed points for some pairs of hybrid maps (i.e. singled-valued and set-valued maps) satisfying some generalized contractive conditions in G-symmetric spaces are proved. The results extend and improve some results in literature.
