The regular season consisted of 34 matches for each team, split evenly between home and away games. The opening match was played on February 21, the earliest in league history; the regular season ended with Decision Day on October 19, which comprised simultaneous intra-conference matches. Matches were paused from July 25 to August 23 for the 2024 Leagues Cup, a knockout tournament that included teams from MLS and Liga MX. The league did not pause matches for the 2024 Copa América, which was played in the United States from June to July. Most regular season matches were played on Saturdays and Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. local time.[38][39]
The 29 teams were divided into two conferences: the Eastern and Western. The 15 teams in the East played a round-robin format with intra-conference teams and six matches against six opponents from the West. The 14 teams in the West played a round-robin with intra-conference teams, an additional one or two intra-conference matches, and six to seven matches against opponents from the East.[38][40] The top nine teams in each conference advanced to the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs, which began with a wild card round for the eighth and ninth placed teams, and was followed by a best-of-three series that was introduced in 2023. The remaining matches were single-elimination, and culminated with the MLS Cup final on December 7.[39][41]
Several new rules were scheduled to be introduced for the 2024 season following trials in MLS Next Pro, including in-stadium announcements of video assistant referee decisions, a time limit for substitutions, and mandatory off-field checks for injured players.[42] These initiatives were postponed by MLS due to an ongoing labor dispute with the Professional Soccer Referees Association, who organized a lockout of their referees.[43][44] Replacement referees from outside the union, including former officials and those from lower-level leagues other than USL, were called in to officiate MLS matches.[45][46] The referees' union and MLS reached an agreement in time for the regular referees to return to the field for Matchday 7, on March 30.[47]
The 2024 MLS All-Star Game was played between the MLS All-Stars and the Liga MX All-Stars on July 24.[48]

After building a basic one, I found that my images were able to be more visual and I could create better stories that followed a theme with more options and used a better visual sentence structure. This extended version should help you prepare what needs to be memorized without the drudgery of compiling your own list. If you have any questions, updates, or comments, you can contact me on the Art of Memory forum (https://forum.artofmemory.com/) at @thinkaboutthebible. You’ll find updates as I make them on my github account at https://github.com/dougs-repos/Memory. The Major system The Major system is useful for an all-purpose way to convert numbers to digits from one digit to three digits at a time. Larger numbers become combinations of smaller groups. The phonetic sounds are mapped to each digit. About the only sound that you might want to skip is the Th sound as it is not really a traditional mapping, but then you block out many options. Also, I have seen Th as a part of 8 but I prefer it in 1 as in some of the original variations. According to Seth Long, author of Excavating the Memory Palace, a French mathematician and astronomer named Pierre Hérigone developed the technique in his Cursus Mathematicus in the 1630s. However, it must be noted the Hérigone’s system is nearly identical to the Hindi Katapayadi system, which dates to the seventh-century in India and was utilized by South Asian astronomers and mathematicians. Johann Just Winkelmann, under the pseudonym Stanislaus Mink von Wennsshein, used it and is often credited with the development of the phonemic system. A few variations were tried, for instance by combining visual shapes, until in about 1820 Aimé Paris decided on the system that is in common use. In the 1840’s a London memory expert from Poland, Major Beniowski, lent his name to the system. Then, in the mid-70’s, a best-selling mnemonic book, The Memory Book, by the magician Harry Lorayne, popularized it as something more than a way to do card tricks. In the Major system, the number 2763 would be converted into neck and chime as possible keywords as they follow the table’s conversion of consonant sounds to digits. Vowels (A, E, I, O, U), diphthongs, aspirated sounds (H, W, Y) are added at your discretion to the middle, beginning, and end, allowing for a wide range of like-sounding words. The following are the English language conversions. Other languages will have additional letters and sounds. The aspirated consonants of H, W, and Y (highway, if you need a mnemonic), are not included and can be used for other purposes. Major system conversion Digit Sounds Reasoning 0 S, Z first leter of the number zero 1 D, T, Th one ver�cal stroke in the leter T 2 N two ver�cal strokes in the leter N 3 M three ver�cal strokes in the leter M 4 R last leter in the number four 5 L hold your le� hand up with fingers together, Roman numeral for 50 6 Ch, J, Sh upside-down lower-case g (so� g as in George), almost upper-case G p. 1 Major system toolkit v1.0.9 7 G, K, Q two sevens make up the upper-case leter K 8 F, V script writen lower-case F 9 B, P mirror-image upper-case P Major system learning Go through the digits and commit at least one consonant for each digit to memory. Write the system table down on paper. Then without looking, recall the mapping for each. Repeat the attempt to recall the encoding several times. Correct yourself with your table. Then recall without looking while you are going to sleep, the next morning, and a few times more in the day until you have it down, knowing all the consonants without making a mistake and not taking too long. Then see if you can recall the digit sounds backwards. During the following days, encode numbers you see it in your head. Phone numbers, addresses, PINs, etc. The next step will be to learn some number keywords, or visual words that are developed from the consonant sounds. A reverse acronym by sound with all the 1-digit sounds in order is: The new mayor will shake off a boss. The SEA-IT system Because the mind uses language to communicate, we tend to think in the patterns of language. The pattern of a strong visual image is that of a sentence where a subject performs an action on another thing. They are probably in a place that can be visualized and other details surrounding the scene are helpful to describe. So, we have the elements of a strong image and an order of subject-action-item at a minimum. It can also be called a visual sentence since it is directly related to the construction of a sentence in English. If the sentence makes sense, we can say that it has a narrative logic to it and because it follows an expected pattern, it is easier to recall. The subject performs an action it is capable of, and it does it on an object that seems likely the target of the action. It is also very likely that the subject has a preferred place where the action takes place. Paul Bunyan has an affinity for sawing trees in a forest. Memory athlete and neuroscientist Boris Konrad was surprised to find out that experimental evidence using the VVIQ to gauge people’s ability to visualize was not correlated to how good you were at memorizing. The hesitancy that this produced for people who believed it made people a worse memorizer. What did make people better at mnemonics was the ability to create narrative logic or in more simpler terms, how to tell a story. It wasn’t the pretty pictures they created in their brain; it was the connections they made there. It wasn’t the IQ of the person either noting that anyone could benefit. The acronym SEA-IT best fits a group of main five data types, but other systems cover many of the types as well. Another acronym you might see is PAIL for Person, Action, Item and Location. PAO, which is more of a competition type and therefore a simpler grouping, stands for Person, Action, and Object, and is the most popular subject peg system. There are only three unique primary visual word types, really, as the action is a tightly coupled movement of the subject. Elaborations are about adding relevant detail to the three data types. The item is a type of subject that is acted on. And the terrain provides a theme or the scenery for all the action to take place in. Altogether, the types are: • The subject – The one that initiates action against the item and can be real, imaginary, a person, an animal, an anthropomorphic creature created from an inanimate item, or anything else that can perform an action. The subject dictates the theme of the sentence to influence all the other parts. p. 2 Major system toolkit v1.0.9 • The elaborations – Any of the other four sentence parts can be made more memorable by adding adjectives or as in the case of the action, an adverb. Common enhancements are clothing, scale, weather, and superpowers. Multiple elaborations mean more keywords and more storage. • The action – This is the verb that works best with a direct object. A direct object is the item of the action. An action is very closely associated with the subject because it is constrained by the subject’s ability, familiarity of the subject performing that action, or difficulty in making sense out of the subject perform the action. • The item – The item can be like the subject but is on the receiving end of the action and should be associated in some way with the subject. But it must receive action and not just be an elaboration participating in the sentence. Use the test of action and reaction or cause and effect to see if the item is reacting or being changed. The terrain – The background, scenery, or geographic place that the action is taking place in. This is a distinct area that can contain multiple items but is most likely associated with the subject. People find unique places or objects here described by features which are the basis for the method of loci. To chart it out I use a small table to see what goes where and fill in the blanks to understand the visual images that are being created. • Visual sentence grid Subject Ac�on Item Terrain Subject’s elaboration Action’s elaboration Item’s elaboration Terrain’s elaboration Psychology would call the SEA-IT organization of images with its elaborations of each data type distinctive processing, which will facilitate artificial memory beyond the operation of eithe
29th season of Major League Soccer
Football league season
The 2024 Major League Soccer season was the 29th season of Major League Soccer (MLS), the top professional soccer league in the United States and Canada, and the 46th season overall of a national first-division league in the United States.
The league's 29 teams were divided into the Eastern and Western conferences. This was the first season since the 2016 season to have no new expansion teams joining MLS; San Diego FC is scheduled to join the league in 2025.[4]
Pre-season matches ran from January 19 through February 17.[5] The regular season began on February 21 and ended on October 19, with a pause from late July to late August for the 2024 Leagues Cup, which comprised all MLS and Liga MX teams. The 2024 MLS Cup playoffs began on October 22 and concluded with MLS Cup 2024 on December 7.[6] MLS only sent eight senior squads to the 2024 U.S. Open Cup as part of a compromise with the USSF that allowed most teams to be represented by MLS Next Pro teams.[7]
The Columbus Crew were the reigning MLS Cup champions and FC Cincinnati were the Supporters' Shield holders; St. Louis City SC were the reigning Western Conference champions.[8] In their fifth season in the league, Inter Miami CF won the Supporters' Shield for the first time, earning an league-record 74 points.[9] The LA Galaxy won a record sixth MLS Cup, and a first since 2014, after defeating the New York Red Bulls 2–1 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.[10]
This was the second season that Apple and MLS were part of a ten-year partnership for the broadcast and streaming rights to all MLS and Leagues Cup games, as well as select MLS Next and MLS Next Pro games, on the MLS Season Pass service within the Apple TV app.[11]
