Hot Stone Massage Therapy uses smooth, heated massage stones which are slowly glided over the skin, using warm massage oil or gel for a deeply relaxing treatment.
Stones have been known to affect clients in profound ways- emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. The deepness of relaxation with this bodywork is that profound.
Hot stone massage can be a very therapeutic treatment, as the stones are placed on specific target areas, which are rich with nerve endings and reflexes.
One of the most important benefits of placing warm massage stones on these areas is that it creates deep relaxation during the session. This treatment, when performed correctly, can actually induce a sedation of the nervous system.
The combination of quality stones and proper technique results in a healing hot stone massage therapy session. When the client truly relaxes and muscles release built up tensions, the body's natural healing ability can take place.
Hot stone massage therapy warms the body and the soul. Done in consideration of each client's health history, this treatment is usually safe for most people.
However, you should be trained in this modality. Many therapists practice this modality without having professional training. There are many things that could happen using hot stones, and proper classes, in addition to purchasing a Hot Stone Massage DVD Package gives a therapist the opportunity to view videos several times, which helps you memorize important steps in the treatment.
This set includes hot stone massage, facial massage with stones, hand and foot massage with stones and using stones with reflexology treatments, giving you the ability to add many services to your menu. This DVD package will provide instructions for caring for your stones as well.
To reduce the risk of burning, use warm massage stones rather than hot stones. Purchase a massage stone heater that you can control the exact temperature setting.
A stone heater accessory kit is also helpful, as well as a bowl of cold water, in case the stones do feel too hot to place on the client's skin. Kits include a net, thermometer,Stone Bag (for toe, finger or face stones), and plastic slotted spoon.
Hot massage stones (127 degrees or higher) should never be placed directly on skin without moving them. Warm stones, 120 to 127, are safer to use. Always keep a bowl of cold water beside your stones to cool them before placing on the skin.
The therapist will most likely be using basalt stones, which tend to retain heat for a long period of time. Read more about Basalt Massage Stones .
You might be interested in Advanced Stone Massage, which teaches how to use shaped massage stones, and how to effectively use massage stones to release trigger points or Geothermal Therapy, which teaches how to use hot and cold stones together to effectively treat muscle conditions and pain syndromes.
What to expect
First, massage stones are placed on certain areas of the body in order to warm the muscles and open energy pathways. Laying stones on these areas (such as along the spine, between the toes, behind the neck, in the palm of your hand, and on the forehead) for several minutes, allows the relaxation to begin.
The therapist will gradually remove the stones and begin gliding movements with them for several minutes, which will be followed by relaxing massage strokes.
If you have muscles that are chronically tight, the therapist may use deep tissue massage with the stones. Read more about Deep Tissue with Massage Stones
If you have areas that are inflamed or are painful or very warm to the touch, the therapist may use cool stones. Read more about Benefits of Cold Stone Massage .
Average Cost
A hot stone massage therapy session will cost $90-$125 per hour, depending on where you receive the treatment and the experience level of your therapist.

It is obvious that I have had a hard time keeping up with not only remembering that I said that I wouldn't drop the ball on this project again this year, but actually finding the time to work out. Now that none of us have strep or croup and our Mended Little Hearts CHD Awareness Week event is over I am struggling to get back into a routine with the kids, homeschool lessons, getting their Wii Fit time in for their PE class.
This past week was beautiful and the kids spent several hours outside for most of it. The nice weather was the perfect thing to hold over their heads to get caught up with their lessons and gain a little time to for myself.
Today was hectic, so I didn't get any photos of this week's workouts. On Thursday and Friday, I only managed to do Free Step while the babies were watching Toy Story 3. And yes, the watch it every single day. If Honey Nut even hears talk of TS 3 she runs up to the TV squealing with joy. She has a major crush on Woody.
Both days I did Free Step for over 20 minutes, I don't remember exactly, but I got over 3000 steps both days! I have to find something around the house to raise up the Wii Fit board a couple of inches. I saw that Wii makes a riser for the board, but it is something like $20-30, and I don't feel like spending money on it when I am sure I could come up with something.
On Saturday I worked out for close to 2 hours! It felt great.
That crazy Wii Fit Plus trainer lady totally kicked my butt yesterday! I doubled my normal routine and ended up doing several new workouts…most of which I came seriously close to hurting myself doing. But I was able to knock out a few more exercises that I have never done before. Then I went through and picked out different activities. I think I did mostly Strength Training and Balance.
I noticed how my balance was off from the last time I actually got to work out. I had a terrible time going the Balance activities yesterday. I need to work more on my balance, I got too many of those messages that remind me that I probably loose my balance when I am tired. Like I really need to be reminded that by the end of the day I am tripping over toys and running into furniture.
So if anyone is still with me and interested in keeping up with Get Fit With Wii Fit, let me know how you are doing.

Dept of Civil Aviation Regional Training School.
Story by Robert Brand.
It has been 45 years since I stepped in the doors of the DCA training School at Waverton. All that is left these days is the land it sat on and that is a car park for sailors at HMAS Waterhen that sits below the old site.
I started on Jan 8th 1968 and I was the grand age of 15 years old. It was a nervous time, not knowing what was in-store for us, but I was pretty happy about getting paid to learn.

Puzzles for two
Work with a buddy in this steampunk co-op puzzler.
39 Days to Mars
Sir Albert Wickes and the Right Honourable Clarence Baxter are in search of adventure – and what could be more fitting for two Victorian gentlemen than a trip to Mars? Right then, let's build a spaceship and get started. After this cup of tea and a scone, that is.
That's the premise and humour of 39 Days to Mars, a whimsical two-player game where you and a friend work together to solve puzzles to get your rickety spaceship, the HMS Fearful, to the Red Planet and back. Along the way, you'll face challenges as varied as battling space squids and brewing the perfect cup of tea.
Inspired by H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, with a winking, sepia-tinged nod to steampunk, 39 Days to Mars has a light-hearted, playful feel. Witty narration, 2D-doodle graphics and a lovely solo piano score add charm and atmosphere.
The game is best played sitting side by side with your partner since you each control an onscreen hand, one person using the keyboard, the other with a mouse or trackpad. (The app also supports game controllers.) Solving each conundrum requires careful coordination. For example, in one of the first activities in the game, you attempt to reassemble a torn-up map by grabbing and rotating the pieces and lining up edges. Teamwork is essential!
Other puzzles involve figuring out how to operate wildly inventive contraptions: Rube Goldberg–style assemblies of gears, wires and assorted bric-a-brac. Each puzzle emphasises a different skill, such as coordination, timing or memory.
Single-player mode replaces your friend with a computer-controlled cat that follows you as you explore, ceding control of its paw when the time comes to solve a puzzle. But the coordination required to pull this off single-handedly is challenging to master, making it clear why the game suggests two players at the start.
39 Days to Mars certainly won't take you 39 days to finish. Once you and a friend get the synchronicity and rhythm of the game's mechanics down, you should be able to make it through the journey in a few hours. But what a grand few hours it will be!

About Permalinks in Series Engine
Posted by Michelle Mabuti, Last modified by Michelle Mabuti on 20 June 2018 10:05 AM
Series Engine automatically generates pretty, SEO-friendly permalinks for each Message. Permalinks can be accessed from the Share menu of every Message, where you'll find one-click options for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Email, or by copying a link.
A wealth of permalink settings can be found in Settings > Series Engine > Advanced, where you can change the slug used with Series Engine permalinks and change the options for what is displayed on each permalinked Message page.
Changing the Permalink Slug
By default, your permalinks will resemble:
You can easily change the permalink slug structure (highlighted above) in Settings > Series Engine > Advanced.
If you change your slug, your previously shared Series Engine permalinks will no longer work. You'll also need to head over to Settings > Permalinks and save the page there so the new permalink slug structure will kick in.
If you just want to adjust the message title as seen in the permalink, you can do this in each Message's "Advanced Settings" tab (when you're editing the Message).
Customizing Permalink Pages
By default, your permalinks are shown in your theme's single.php and archives.php templates. If you would like to customize these pages in your theme, you can create single page and archive templates specifically for Series Engine permalink pages by placing files named "single-enmse_message.php" and "archive-enmse_message.php" in your theme's main directory. Customize these as you see fit, but please note that we do not provide support of any kind for theme customization of this nature.
If you want to add additional content to your permalink pages on a case-by-case basis, you can turn on the Custom Post Type view in Settings > Series Engine > Advanced and edit the permalink pages in the new "Messages" menu in the WordPress dashboard. This is for advanced users only, as it can get confusing to see Series Engine content in two places (and deleting these pages can permenantly break your permalinks).
About Permalink Search Results
Permalink pages also show up when someone searches for a Message using the native search function on your site. The title and excerpt are automatically generated from your Message details, and will resemble the format below:
Message Label: "The Message Title Here" from Speaker Name
A message from the series "The Primary Series Title Here." The message description follows here.

Box of Slides
I've seen it said that anybody who starts trying to play steel guitar ends up with a box full of steels. This is my box, built by my father. I occasionally play slide and I occasionally play steel, both basically as a bedroom player, so it's only a small box, but we'll see.
There's the fake Coricidin bottle slide, which I think is a little big but is my go-to. There's the Lowell George-approved 11/16s socket. It's a Craftsman, so if I play my blues hard and break it, I can take it to any Sears and get it replaced. There's a Zippo, which I never really used as a smoker. I think I saw a video of John Mooney playing like that. I have a shiny chrome slide and a less shiny brass one. I think the brass grips a little more, causing more of the characteristic string noise for bluesy acoustic work. I have a Stevens bar that came with my lap steel, and a Dunlop bar I picked up later, and they're heavy enough that I can really only use 'em for action-enhanced steel playing, rather than slide playing on my normal guitars, which is fine. The big one is a threaded test tube I got from the lab where I work when they were ridding themselves of glasswork. I thought I could make it into a bottleneck but never cut it off. I use it for steel stuff but it is light enough to easily go over to the spanish-style guitar, for playing like Danny Gatton and his beer bottle. Except that I'm not that good. But that's OK — saying you're not as good as Danny Gatton is like saying you're bipedal.
I know, this post is useless without audio, so I'll throw that on the list.

To fit my fat fingers, I had to go up to a 3/4" socket. It feels too heavy to get a good vibrato, but that might also be from having a lazy, weak, fat finger.
My favorite slide for CBG is a copper pipe fitting that I polished to shiny. It isn't quite long enough for regular guitar, but it's more brass than brass, if you know what I mean. Grippy grip grip.
Somewhere in my closet I have the neck of a wine bottle snapped off for you, waiting for the delicate touch of a diamond dremel bit to make it safe to put on a finger. My success rate with the score and thermal shock method has been about 50% so far.

The socket is a bit heavy for me, too, although the more I use it, the better it gets. It's strength training, like anything else.
You've given me one, and it has developed a crack. I like the glass, really I do, and it helps to follow the radius a little, but they're so much more breakable than the pyrex bottle and test tube.
But I do look forward to the receipt of the slide you have waiting for me.

Canberra Tall Cabinet
This tall cabinet is a variation of many styles that I have built. I collaborate with my brother, Steve Coffey, who makes his living as a well known Western Canadian Artist. His painting is mounted in the door of the cabinet, giving the piece visual impact by framing an original oil work in a functional piece of furniture. This style of cabinet can be put anywhere in your home due to it's small footprint. The cabinet is assembled entirely by sliding dovetails that allow the piece to move with the seasons, assuring it will last many generations.
Dimensions: Approximately 60"H x 12" W x 10" D

Alas, another thrilling Fashion Week has come to an end. We partied at LNA with Metric and Patti Smith (who gave a heartfelt tribute to Alexander McQueen), cozied up to the handsome men modeling at the GQ Best New Designer showcase, got snowed on at Isaac Mizrahi, tried to guess the winner of Project Runway, learned that models do really suffer sometimes, and said good-bye forever to the tents in Bryant Park. We received plenty of generous and head-scratching swag including earplugs at Vena Cava, a Stila make-up box with built-in MP3 speakers from Betsey Johnson, and a shaving kit from Duckie Brown. And we rubbed elbows with Donald Trump at Michael Kors, David Byrne at Narciso Rodriguez, and Alexa Chung at 3.1 Phillip Lim. But Fashion Week is, of course, all about the clothes, and we saw plenty to make us long for fall. Of the shows we attended, our favorites were Betsey Johnson, Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B., Diane von Furstenberg, Rebecca Taylor, Charlotte Ronson, Vena Cava, Rag & Bone, and Zero+Maria Cornejo. And what will you want to buy? We've narrowed it all down to 10 outstanding trends.
1. Layers
Pile on ponchos, capes, blankets, and multiple scarves for a cozy look.
Seen at: Rag & Bone, Rodarte, Zero+Maria Cornejo, Boy by Band of Outsiders
2. High-waisted pants
If it's not touching your belly button, it's not in style.
Seen at: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Vena Cava, Trias, Boy by Band of Outsiders
3. Leg warmers
Protect your legs with over-the-knee socks and leg warmers.
Seen at: Rag & Bone, Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Trias, Charlotte Ronson,
Cynthia Steffe, Alexandre Herchcovitch
4. Shorts and culottes
Pair dressy shorts or culottes with tights for the office or a night out.
Seen at: Vena Cava, Rachel Comey, L.A.M.B., Charlotte Ronson, Cynthia Steffe
5. Warm neutrals
Stock up on lots of beige, grey, camel, and cream.
Seen at: Erin Wasson x RVCA, 3.1 Phillip Lim, United Bamboo
6. Furs
With apologies to all fuzzy rodents, fur was huge this season.
Seen at: Dennis Basso, Vena Cava, Thakoon, Brian Reyes, Anna Sui, Ralph Lauren, Mulberry, Pamela Roland, Rebecca Minkoff, Cynthia Steffe, Rebecca Taylor, Boy by Band of Outsiders
7. Bomber Jackets
Did anyone see Amelia? Apparently the movie about the daring aviator made an impact on designers.
Seen at: United Bamboo, Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Boy by Band of Outsiders
8. Asymmetrical
Whether it's an uneven hem or a cocktail dress with one sleeve, asymmetrical is in.
Seen at: Zero+Maria Cornejo, Vena Cava, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Narciso Rodriguez, Tony Cohen
9. Skirts and dresses go below the knee
The mini isn't totally dead, but some designers are definitely lowering the hemline for fall.
Seen at: Rachel Comey, Marc Jacobs, United Bamboo, Ralph Lauren
10. Cinch it
Add a skinny belt to coats, sweaters, and high-waisted pants or just throw one around your hips.
Seen at: Charlotte Ronson, Marc Jacobs, Zero+Maria Cornejo, Boy by Band of Outsiders, United Bamboo

Using Formwork on a Construction Site
Formwork accounts for roughly 40 to 60 percent of the concrete budget for a given project [source: Lab]. Materials actually comprise a small part of the expense of formwork: Most of the money is spent on the labor to assemble and dismantle forms. Here are the basics of how formwork is used on the job site.
After the contractor and architect-engineer have looked at the structural and architectural drawings of a project and considered the form materials available to them, they'll select a formwork system, which, as mentioned earlier, either arrives in component pieces or already assembled. Once the formwork has been erected, workers must treat the interior of the molds with a release agent -- a compound made from wax, oil or plastic that prevents the form from sticking to the concrete -- because untreated forms can cause the surface of the concrete structure to become discolored or misshapen, which just requires more work to fix it.
Once the form is in place and the concrete mixture is approved, workers begin pouring the concrete into the form's vacant space. (Representatives from the company supplying the concrete are usually on-site during larger commercial projects.) The concrete is distributed by hand or through a hose connected to a concrete truck, with a pump helping the concrete reach portions of the project where the truck can't travel. After the pour, workers often use industrial vibrating devices, which can either attach to the exterior of the form or be placed in the thick of the concrete. Vibration helps consolidate the elements of the concrete and eliminate air pockets. If necessary, the construction works can treat the concrete with water or steam.
After the concrete has dried, the forms are disassembled and removed, or "stripped" in construction parlance. The form can be repositioned in another area of the job site, stockpiled for later use or, if necessary, destroyed. These days, most forms are designed and built to be reused dozens of times.
Effective formwork has to balance several competing interests. Click ahead to find out what they are.

For his reported new role Taylor Kitsch will return to television's depiction of Texas (forever y'all), but the Waco depicted in the upcoming Weinstein Company series couldn't be farther from "Dillon."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kitsch is set to star as Branch Davidian leader David Koresh in a series about the FBI's siege of the Waco ranch where the religious group was housed in 1993. Infamously, the weeks-long military standoff ended when a fire engulfed the ranch killing dozens of people.
It's also reported that Michael Shannon of "Boardwalk Empire" and rapper Ludacris are set to star as FBI agent Gary Noesner and Branch Davidian Wayne Martin respectively.
WATCH: Canada vs. Texas According to Taylor Kitsch
With Kitsch's forays into the big screen (see "Battleship," "John Carter") not faring half as well as Riggin's high school running back endeavors, it'll be exciting to see the actor return to the small, Texas screen on which he excelled.
There are currently few details on the show, which has yet to name a network, but, as the Hollywood Reporter notes, with similar true crime series like HBO's "The Jinx" and Netflix's "Making a Murderer" experiencing success, it's sure to find a spot.

If you're considering a new business phone system, moving into a new office, or adding desks where once there were none, this post is for you. A category of phones known as GigE – or Gigabit Ethernet – could save you a bundle on your IT budget and look good doing it.
3 cases for going GigE
While GigE phones cost slightly more than regular VoIP desk phones, here are three reasons to upgrade for long-term savings and satisfaction.
Just one data drop
With a GigE desk phone, you only need one data line to each desk instead of two. With the average cost for cabling estimated at $206 per "drop" (or line), that's a whole lot of potential savings.
Daisy-chaining doesn't drag down data
Daisy chaining is when you connect multiple devices one after another – kind of like doing this with a bunch of actual daisies. You can daisy chain with a non-GigE phone, but we don't recommend it. When you link your GigE phone to your computer to share that one data drop, you don't have to worry about your bits and bytes getting all choked up. They are built to work hand-in-hand with your laptop or desktop.
They look good!!
As you can see from the Polycom and Yealink beauty shots in this post and our video comparison, GigE phones are more than just the honor roll students of the IP phone class. They're an attractive bunch packed with form and function.
If you're interested in getting GigE phones for your office, we've got 'em. Head over to our IP phone list to browse or chat with one of our experts (look for the Live Chat button on every page).

A 1966 Volvo P1800 nears 3 million miles
One of history's most iconic and beautiful cars, the Volvo P1800, turns 50 this year. Helping celebrate the stunning Swedes anniversary is Irv Gordon, original owner of a 1966 example, who just reached the 2.9 million mile milestone in his P1800. Gordon has the goal of 3 million miles firmly in his sights, which he plans to achieve within two years. "In honor of the P1800′s 50th anniversary, I'd like to reaffirm my goal of reaching three million miles within the next two years," said Gordon.
"Recently my P1800 has been through some terrible weather, and never complained once. What a great automobile! Hitting 2.9 million miles is a true testament to Volvo and those who designed it." Helping Volvo celebrate the 50th anniversary of the P1800, Gordon is making several appearances in behalf of Volvo and the P1800. Last month he attended the TechnoClassica show in Essen, Germany –the world's largest indoor classic car show. In September Gordon will visit Australia. Purchased new in June 1966, it only took Gordon 48 hours to put 1500 miles on his P1800. He continued racking up the miles at an incredible rate and thanks to his 125-mile round-trip daily commute he surpassed 500,000 miles in just 10 years. Gordon set a record with the Guinness Book of World Records in 1998 when his beloved Volvo reached the 1.69 million mile mark for the "most miles driven by a single owner in a non-commercial vehicle." He celebrated the P1800's 2-millionth mile by driving down Times Square in 2002. Not only does Gordon continue to break his previous record; he also breaks the world record daily in his P1800. The P1800 replaced the 1955 to 1957 Volvo Sport roadster, which never caught on with the public. Only 67 examples were built. Volvo wanted a prestigious car that would attract "foot traffic" in their show rooms and therefore needed to go back to the drawing board – literally. Volvo President Gunnar Engellau ordered design proposals from Italy. The winning design was penned by Pelle Petterson, son of Volvo consultant Helmer Petterson. Helmer snuck his son's design in with the four Italian designs and Pelle's was chosen by everyone on Volvo's board. Pelle was a recent graduate of Pratt Institute in New York and although employed by Pietro Frua was a Gothenburg, Sweden native.


text: So due to the fact that I know I wasn't spamming but instead having a very interesting conversation with someone who seemed to be a troll or a child/teen trying to get a rise out of someone. And at the very end of it he was done because either he was gagged or he wasn't getting a rise thats when the conversation stopped. I can't remember who made a comment about said player but all I said was "Exactly". Agreeing with the other players point, and then I was gagged. I'm not sure if the gag was indefinite or for a certain amount of time but basically I stopped having the conversation with a player by the name "ha ha ha" who was the one trying to get the rise out of someone. Then I simply asked Butane why I was gagged. He gave the reason that he warned me yet I had my eyes on chat and didn't see a warning, At the end of the conversation is when he gave a warning that I did see. So I stopped having the conversation, after the gag I simply was asking him for an explanation and he kept giving me this response "no complaints on the server take it to forums" and that's understandable but I wasn't making a complaint I was simply asking for an explanation. During that I was dumb-founded basically my brain was thinking "If this guy is a higher tier admin why isn't he being responsible" then I got the ban and I honestly scoffed, cause someone who seemed to be a good admin an admin i've seen take action against those in the wrong proceeded to ban someone who was simply asking a Question. And was not complaining.

By Ishola Ebenezer
The importance of the media to the success or otherwise of any government cannot be overemphasised. Edmund Burke, a philosopher and politician in a parliamentary debate in 1787 referred to reporters seated in the gallery as the Fourth Estate of the Realm which was more important than the traditional three estates of Parliament: The Lords Spiritual, the Lords Temporal and the Commons. Lending his voice to the indispensability of the media, Thomas Jefferson, the third US President (1801-1809) asserted that "… were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter."
Without doubt, the media played a vital role in the success of President Muhammadu Buhari at the last elections. There is no question about the level of importance accorded to the media by the Nigerian President. Speaking at the launch of a seminal work, Nigerian Media Leaders: Voices Beyond the Newsroom, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, stated that "President Muhammadu Buhari … sees the media as allies, critical partners in the quest to build a worthy new Nigeria." He further advised the media against seeing the government as something to be harassed, hounded and haunted down. The media aide to the President claimed that the government has provided free access to information as well as support for media professionals to work professionally. Similarly, President Muhammadu Buhari in his inaugural address on May 29, 2015, appealed to the media, particularly its social media component, to perform its duties with responsibility and patriotism.
Against this background, one now begins to wonder the rationale behind the candid remark by President Muhammadu Buhari in his latest interview with SaharaReporters in New York, United States of America, where he frankly asserted that the Nigerian media is "… too inquisitive for his liking". The President further explained that his grouse with the Nigerian media is the seeming dearth of investigative journalism, giving the instance of the declaration of his assets which has been done four times. The remark of the President touches on a major cause of worry to Nigerian media professionals in the true sense of the word.
One major incident of strain in President Muhammadu Buhari's relationship with the Nigerian media dates back to the barring of AIT news crew from covering his activities as President-Elect based on what President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Media, Garba Shehu, referred to as security and family concerns, as well as issues of standard and ethics. The endless campaign on AIT which sought to portray President Buhari and a number of his allies in bad light prior to the elections readily comes to mind. Incidentally, it is quite disheartening to note that President Buhari has on a number of occasions subjected the Nigerian media to a second-rate treatment. The op-ed published in the Washington Post in July, 2015, where Nigerians got the first major inkling that ministerial appointments will be a September-affair, as well as the President's response on taking charge of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, in an interview in New York during the United Nations General Assembly, further confirm my suspicion that all is not well between the Nigerian media and President Buhari.
President Muhammadu Buhari via his media team must make conscious efforts to rectify the seeming cynicism the Nigerian media is subjected to by the President which stands as a potential 'keg of gunpowder'. A popular Yoruba proverb says "An elder cannot be in the market place and allow a child's head to stay uncomfortable". Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity) and Femi Adesina (Special Adviser on Media and Publicity) as veterans of the Nigerian media with impressive profiles, must harness their respective and collective capabilities to resolving this impasse.
The Nigerian media on the other hand has a part to play in this seeming crisis. A number of challenges expose the Nigerian media to cynicism by the Nigerian people. They include – Ownership structure of the media (He who pays the piper, …), poor remuneration and training of journalists which adversely affect output, the extreme obsession of media platforms to sensationalize news stories for increased profit, increased propaganda which has been a critical tool deployed in the do-or-die politics Nigeria is known for, among others.
At this juncture, let me share a news story that baffled me on the quality of journalism in Nigeria. In the early days of President Buhari's administration when the past President, Goodluck Jonathan, was a regular caller to Aso Rock, a media platform reported that the reason for the visit is that President Buhari is seeking for leadership advice from the past President Goodluck Jonathan as the former had become clueless in the face of massive onslaught by the public particularly members of the opposition criticising the slow pace of the administration. This news story which emanated from an evidently biased media platform is an instance of ways the Nigerian media is fast losing its glory and trust.
Media stakeholders must rise to confront the challenges bedevilling the Nigerian media which is gradually stripping it of integrity and trustworthiness. As Prof. Pius Adesanmi asserted at The Platform 2015, we all must hate Nigeria to greatness. It is matter of Yes! or Yes!.

RESULTS THAT SAVE LIVES. We empower our members to improve care for their patients through our three signature programs―the Acclaim Award, Best Practices Learning Collaboratives, and the Chronic Care Challenge.
Honoring excellence and innovation
The Acclaim Award, supported by AMGA Foundation, rewards medical groups and
other organized systems of care that are bringing the American healthcare system
closer to the ideal delivery model -- one that is safe,
patient-centered, timely, efficient, and
The recipient of the 2018 Acclaim Award is
CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic, based in Tyler, TX. Two additional organizations,
Michigan Medicine and
Wellmont Medical Associates, were announced as Acclaim Award honorees.
CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic achieved outstanding results as part of the three
year Patient Experience Project:
Tackling chronic illness by creating communities of knowledge.
Our Collaboratives bring together several member groups to develop solutions for managing specific chronic conditions. We create "small" or "intimate" communities of knowledge where participants meet in-person and virtually to share tools and resources to accelerate systematic change and create breakthroughs in patient care.
Collaboratives have:
Measure Up/ Pressure Down®:
In 2012, we launched a long-term effort to improve care and patient outcomes
for pressing chronic conditions. Out of this effort was born our first national
campaign—Measure Up/Pressure Down®— which galvanized AMGA members across the
country and improved high blood pressure detection and control. By the end of
this three-year initiative in 2015, nearly 150 participating organizations had
collectively improved the lives of over half a million Americans with high blood
Together 2 Goal®:
AMGA Foundation's second National Campaign, Together 2 Goal®, launched in
2016. This campaign seeks to improve care for 1 million people living with Type
2 diabetes. So far campaign participants have improved care for more than
750,000 Americans with Type 2 diabetes, but there's still more work to be done.
To build on this strong progress toward the 1 million goal, AMGA Foundation
has extended the campaign beyond 2019 into 2021.
Watch the video below to hear what leading medical groups and health systems
have to say about the extension.
Foundation Stars are member groups that have participated in four or more AMGA Foundation initiatives: they have applied for the Acclaim Award, participated in one or more Best Practices Learning Collaboratives, taken part in AMGA national campaigns, Measure Up/Pressure Down® or Together 2 Goal®, and donated to the Foundation.
Congratulations to the 2018 Foundation Star awardees:

The project started in 1983. It was funded and supported by the Inner London Education Authority, and was part of the teacher action research that led to the Oracy Project and the Language in the Curriculum Project. Both LINC and the Oracy projects were closed down for political reasons in 1993. Collaborative Learning survived because it is a teacher owned network. Everyone is welcome to join, and we are pleased to now have colleagues joining us worldwide. Activities to promote talk take time to make, but by sharing them, we hope to inspire others to work in similar ways. Now that talk is once again beginning to be recognised as a priority and recent research is even more supportive of its vital part to play in learning, we are slowly expanding our network and increasing the number of activities on line. We have a mountain of activities in paper form developed in the 80s an 90s. We are revising these to meet new curriculum needs and making them available.
We wanted to provide interesting and creative ways for children to learn in classes, where many different languages were spoken, and where children were learning English while learning.
Our aim is to provide examples of group talk activities that will benefit all children, while at the same time provide scaffolding for learning English. Collaborative activities are vital for children learning English, but at the same time other learners benefit in many ways. Children new to English need exposure to visually stimulating collaborative talk activities in short sessions throughout their learning. They also need to develop good social contacts in school and these activities are designed to make sure that everybody in the classroom works with everybody else on a regular basis.
Many teachers are now using the strategies for creating classrooms where first languages can be used in a similar way to support learning. We are now beginning to include these materials.
The activities we make available can be used as they are, or they can be adapted to fit into your planning. We also strongly hope they become templates for your own activities. Please don't just look at the activities available for your year group or subject area. All the activities can be easily adapted to any age group or any topic. When you have developed your own versions we hope you will share them; by either sending them to us, sending us a link, or posting them on similar sites.
For a more detailed analysis of collaborative learning please go to our questions and answers page. We have also provided a little A5 booklet with a summary of our aims which is best printed out because we hope you might want to use it for working with other teachers and you can also access our research and bibliography page here.
Lists of free downloadable collaborative learning activities available on the site . They cover all curriculum areas and all key stages including foundation (early years). Can we encourage you to join our network of teachers who are posting activities on this and linked sites. If you want to access the props, games and activities around picture books you need to register with us.

The Writing Room, Lyme Regis
One thing that feeds my soul is writing, and writing away from the screen it must be. It counteracts the never ending demands that glowing machine makes and the slighty 'hazy' and to be honest a little bit mucky feeling I get from overuse. The best antidote I have found is a tip I learned from that well known and uber inspiring book The Artists Way by Julia Cameron. Her Morning Pages are a well needed mental boost. When you wake, write three pages (or as much as can manage, mine often one) of freehand and just let it flow. The words can be meaningful or just total gobbledygook. It is not about the quality of it (so absolutely no judging) but the act of allowing your mind and body to freely express. As the mind speaks, the hand flows. I also find it useful for helping my ability to write (for work) even when I am not remotely in the mood and duvet is calling, not desk.
What I need for this exercise is a really nice flowing ink pen and if I am feeling fancy, a proper notebook. Both by my bedside. My current fave being a Leuchtturm1917 notebook in fluoro orange. The Writing Room in Lyme Regis is the tiniest but most perfectly curated selection of stationery to help you along the writing journey. Notebooks (including Leuchtturm1917), pens of all descent, stampers, erasers, cards and beautifully arranged gift sets; you name it they have it, but in designs you have rarely seen before. The owner, Jan, has the most discerning eye and as an author herself, knows absolutely the best tools for the job.
Take note from the author E.L Doctorow and remember "Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia." So go visit The Writing Room and set yourself up for a real release; just write and write and write. Oh and by the way, don't read it. Best to throw it away, at least in the beginning, or the Lord of Mighty Judgement arises from the shadows. Be expressive and be kind to yourself. Enjoy.

Brief 38: Diminishing the Effectiveness of Vote-Buying Through Voter Education
"Vote-buying" refers to the distribution of cash or other material benefits by candidates before elections to persuade recipients to vote for them. Green and Vasudevan designed and evaluated a radio campaign during the 2014 Indian general election to educate voters about vote-buying. First, they hired an agency to create radio advertisements to discourage people from voting for candidates/parties that engage in vote-buying. Second, they ran these advertisements on 30 radio stations during 2014 general elections. Third, they asked local journalists which parties were bribing voters in different areas. Fourth, they measured how those advertisements affected both turnout rates at the assembly constituency (AC) level and the vote-share of vote-buying parties. The authors found that their advertisements reduced the vote-share of the vote-buying parties by about four percentage points, but had small and statistically insignificant effects on voter turnout.

Research Question: Are radio voter education campaigns effective in discouraging voters from voting for parties/candidates that engage in vote-buying?
Preparer: Seth Ariel Green
India is the world's largest democracy, with 814 million voters. In 2014, The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led coalition won a decisive victory over the long-dominant Indian National Congress-led (INC) coalition. There are six nationally recognized parties, 49 others at the state level, and more than 1700 smaller parties.
Many media observers have alleged widespread vote-buying in India. Police working with the Election Commission of India confiscated around $115 million (PPP) in cash, seized 30 million liters of liquor, and arrested more than two million people in connection with election-related violations.
India is divided into Parliamentary Constituencies (PCs), which are further subdivided into assembly constituencies (AC). ACs each have between 150,000 and 250,000 registered voters.
All India Radio (AIR) is the national broadcaster of India. It reaches 95% of the country and 99% of the population. There are 194 AIR stations; each station typically covers about 15 ACs.
Research Design:
In the lead-up to the 2014 elections, Green and Vasudevan hired an Indian agency to script and record advertisements to discourage voting for vote-buying parties. The advertisements were skits in which actors discussed why vote-buying politicians were untrustworthy and unlikely to make good on their promises. The 60-second spots were recorded in Hindi and four regional languages (Kannada, Marathi, Oriya, and Telugu). The authors chose 60 AIR stations covering 665 ACs in ten states. Stations were chosen if they broadcast in the most commonly spoken languages, had affordable advertising rates, and if their broadcasts did not have overlap with many other stations. The authors randomly selected 30 stations to broadcast advertisements. The messages were broadcast 48 times over the three days leading up to polling, including the day of elections, in areas covered by radio stations.
A few days before elections, the researchers polled more than 400 journalists about which parties/candidates were trying to buy votes in nearby areas. The authors coded every party that was reported by at least one journalist as being engaged in vote-buying. Consequently, some parties were marked as vote-buying in some areas and not in others.
Based on the above results, the authors outline the following policy implications:
- Radio advertisements are a cost-effective way of educating voters in India, particularly in rural areas.
- Educating voters about the instrumental nature of vote-buying and the negative consequences of electing vote-buyers shifts large number of votes away from vote-buying parties.

The season begun with a bang, as Manchester City rounded off the opening weekend with a romp to make it a familiar-looking top two in the Premier League.
An ominously comfortable victory for Manchester United had sent them top on Saturday despite a troubled summer, whereas down at the Emirates Stadium a torrid transfer window for Arsenal got worse as they lost to last year's relegation candidates Aston Villa in front of their own fans.
Tottenham wiggled past Crystal Palace on Sunday before Chelsea flew out of the blocks, but a ponderous second half demonstrated that perhaps Jose Mourinho's men are not the finished article.
While the Special One is a returning face to the Premier League, there were plenty of players who had never featured in the English top flight before, and here are our pick of the eleven most impressive Premier League debutants this weekend:
Jesus Navas
Manchester City's impressive demolition of Newcastle United was a rather good omen of what is to come in the Manuel Pellegrini era, and debutants Jesus Navas and Fernandinho both played their part.
The Spanish winger is best-known for his ability to hit the byline with a burst of pace and find a teammate in the danger zone, but his role on Monday night was as more of an interior, drifting inside to find space and even switching wings if he wished.
This of course created space for the marauding Pablo Zabaleta to marauding forward into, as well as for Sergio Aguero and the revitalised Edin Dzeko to experiment with as City ran riot.
Navas' link-up with Negredo is expected to contribute plenty of goals to this team, but already he looks a player who has slipped perfectly into the framework at City and he enjoyed a very impressive Premier League bow.
Wilfried Bony
Not starting against Manchester United due to his extensive travelling in midweek, Bony came on at half-time and showed the Premier League a skillset that indicates he may well be a great success on these shores.
Boasting troubling pace, great strength and an athletic leap, Bony provided an extra, brutish dimension to the Swansea attack alongside the more subtle charms of Michu.
An aerial presence of note, he also found himself in the right place to net the Swans' consolation and get that all-important confidence-boosting opener. Although, that said, having pumped the Eredivise for 33?? Goals last season he's probably feeling fairly good in front of goal.
There's more to come.
Mile Jedinak
The Crystal Palace man is every inch the rugged Aussie dreamboat, and his assured performance at the base of the Eagles' midfield was a sign of things to come from last season's player of the year.
Rock-hard in the tackle and considered in his leadership, his role ahead of the Palace back four will be an absolutely crucial one if the SE25 outfit are to secure Premier League survival for the first time ever.
Occasionally thoughtless in possession, Jedinak's contract situation is an enormous worry at Selhurst Park and while things are threatening to turn nasty, the midfielder will never be found wanting for commitment and is a pillar of strength for Ian Holloway's men.
Teammate Joel Ward also deserves an honourable mention.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel
Norwich forked out a fair pile of cash to secure the signing of the Dutchman in the spring, and the fans have been moist in anticipation of his arrival this summer while they watched Luciano Becchio plug away harmlessly up front.
Now he's here, RvW has to live up to the hype, and he began his Premier League career in fairly handy fashion with A GOAL against Everton in front of his new supporters.
Mobile, thoughtful and incisive, van Wolfswinkel was quite the coup for Sporting when they managed to lure him to Portugal from the Eredivisie, but a cash flow problem forced them to sell and Norwich appear to be very fortunate beneficiaries.
Etienne Capoue
He only came on as a substitute, and even that was against newly-promoted Palace, but Capoue boasts the physique and playing style to be an enormous success in this country.
Replacing Moussa Dembele as Andre Villas-Boas looked to shore up his side, Capoue was considered in possession, assured in his role and demonstrated why North London rivals and even Manchester United had watched him while at Toulouse.
With Spurs' current injury crisis may necessitate him dropping into the back four temporarily, he is more than adaptable enough to impress in central defence and looks another sound purchase from the Franco Baldini era.
Iago Aspas
The livewire forward lived up to expectations in the weekend's opening fixture, being a key participant in Liverpool attacks as they played some wonderful stuff against Stoke City on Saturday lunchtime.
Even without Luis Suarez there was a verve and dynamism to the Reds' attack that will have encouraged Brendan Rodgers no end, but their inability to turn it into a lead of any great margin very nearly cost them and will concern the Kop boss.
Aspas is a big part of that, and if he can add goals to his promising play then he will be a terrific acquisition for Liverpool even in tougher tests.
Kevin de Bruyne
Finally getting his chance in West London, the midfielder impressed in Sunday's opener against Hull City.
Part of Belgium's golden generation, there was understandable interest in de Bruyne when it looked likely he would be sold this summer - and when Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund are leading the queue it certainly speaks to his pedigree.
In the end, Jose Mourinho decided that this was a player he needed to keep at Stamford Bridge and his place in the starting XI on the opening day could be indicative of a key role with the Blues this season.
Dovetailing beautifully with Oscar, KdB is just the young, dynamic midfielder that Mourinho needs if he's not going to dip into the transfer market again and his assured debut will give the Special One much confidence.
He wasn't faced with the strongest of opposition in the shape of Crystal Palace, but Paulinho still managed to impress on his Premier League bow.
Moving from the Brazilian domestic league to Europe is far from easy, and the amount of players who have successfully made the immediate transition to England from the Brasileirao can probably be counted on one hand.
Nonetheless, Paulinho is a far more complete player than those that have previously arrived from CONMEBOL's strongest domestic competition, and he has a lot of top-level experience having already won the Copa America, Copa Libertadores and being a fixture in the Brazil team.
When provided with a more considered, defensive foil in midfield, he will be able to play his natural game a bit more and should prove an unmitigated success at White Hart Lane.
Victor Wanyama
The beastly former Celtic man was followed by the Premier League's top four, but when Southampton were the only side willing to take the risk, the Kenyan decided the South Coast would become his new home and on this display Mauricio Pochettino will be truly grateful.
West Bromwich Albion had a wonderful campaign last season and their midfield duo Youssuf Mulumbu and Claudio Yacob was one of the most understated and impressive combos in the league. Wanyama - with a bit of assistance, granted - absolutely dominated the Baggies in the centre of the park, breaking up play, carrying the ball forward and distributing well.
Arsenal must be looking on rather sheepishly at what they turned down.
Dejan Lovren
Another impressive Saint, Lovren was not cheap for a centre-back but acquitted himself very well against a dangerous frontline.
Nicolas Anelka is a player with plenty of top-flight pedigree, and Shane Long is one of those natty, annoying little strikers that is a pain to defend against, but Lovren performed well - even alongside the sometimes dozy Jose Fonte - at the back.
Southampton's purchases this summer have put them into top-half contention and they are now being discussed as outside contenders for Europe.
If they're to achieve that then Lovren will undoubtedly play a central role.
Nathan Redmond
With Thomas Ince seemingly being the Championship's premium winger for sale, young Nathan Redmond slipped somewhat under the radar when Norwich nabbed him for pennies this summer.
Crystal Palace and West Ham were also keen on the Birmingham speedster but he chose to reunite with former Brum boss Chris Hughton and dazzled against Everton on Saturday afternoon.
The club are very confident that he will be worth north of the £10million mark within a year or two, and if he can add consistency to his already impressive skillset then there's no reason to doubt the Canaries' strong claims.
A player who will really come to prominence this season.

The Collection (Review)
United States/2012
Netflix Streaming: No
Amazon Prime: No
Collector is the target of a massive police manhunt as he continues his
brutal serial killing and selective abductions; Arkin is the latest
victim of abduction. Elena is a teenager that goes to a secret club to
party with her friends. At the club, Elena catches her boyfriend
cheating and leaves into a random room to regain her composure. In this
room, Elena finds and opens a red chest out of curiosity; opening this
chests frees Arkin and unleashes death to an unsuspecting crowd of
partygoers. Arkin is able to escape, but Elena is captured. Arkin is
eventually recruited by Lucello, a man associated with Elena's father,
to save Elena and kill the Collector.
The Collection isn't
exactly an original concept, as its very similar to films like The
Descent Part 2; unfortunate, considering how much I enjoyed the concept
of The Collector. The story starts off with a massive underground party.
When Arkin is incidentally freed by Elena, a trap goes off that
brutally shreds most of the partygoers; the few that escape the
slaughter are eventually killed by the other traps. After being
arrested, Arkin is recruited by mercenaries to infiltrate the
Collector's home. He agrees under the condition of being freed as soon
as they arrive - he does not want to enter the trap-filled home, which
is actually an abandoned hotel. Of course, Arkin is tricked and forced
to enter with the mercenaries. Meanwhile, Elena escapes her chest on her
own and begins search for an exit, but finds death around every corner.
I don't really have to continue a film summary, you'll likely be able
to predict the rest of the story without me.
First, don't expect
a horror film. This is more of an action film with light horror
elements. The action is very heavy handed this time around, while the
horror mostly consists of gore; the high tension and suspense of the
first film has been toned down significantly. There are some great
traps; this time, the film implements those dreaded box cutters I hate
ten-fold. Also, as a sequel, The Collection is inconsistent with the
first film. For example, key plot points of the first film are
completely abandoned including the ruby and loan sharks that pushed
Arkin into this dilemma in the first place. Also, a minor example, this
film takes places days after the first, apparently the bald Collector of
the first film has found the secret formula to faster hair growth as he
now sports a full head of hair. These major and minor inconsistencies
hurt the film significantly.
On top of that, the writers haven't
honed their skills since the last time around, it still feels lazy. This
whole movie is kicked off solely based on luck, like the original; if
Elena had never entered the room, if she never opened the chest, none of
this would happen. It's all luck! Also, there
isn't much
character for the new introductions like Elena, although the Collector
receives some background. Also, the story is generally filled with
clichés and a predictable ending, although I did enjoy it a bit. As a
side note, the film's runtime is 1hr 22min, but the actual film runs 1hr
14 min without credits.
Josh Stewart returns as Arkin without a
little more spunk this time around. I really think he shows promise, at
least in the horror genre. The rest of the cast is okay - occasionally,
much of the cast overacts or feel unnatural. The special effects are
good, the use of computed generated effects is bit more evident. The
cinematography is dark, gritty, and grainy - I really like this style;
there a few exceptional shots in this film, including the final
Overall, The Collection falls short of its predecessor
on almost every aspect. There are a few redeeming factors, but not
enough to warrant a purchase, barely enough to recommend a rental with
caution. If you haven't watched The Collector, The Collection might be
more enjoyable and forgivable. However, you might as well watch The
Collector - the superior film - if you're only going to watch one.
Score: 4/10
Parental Guide: Strong violence and gore. Some nudity.

When Sara Haley was pregnant with her second child, she noticed that her stomach had formed a cone-like shape – a telltale sign of diastasis recti, commonly known as an abdominal split.
Diastasis recti is the technical term for a separation between the left and right abdominal muscles. Pregnant women can develop DR because of the increased tension on the abdominal wall, and the risk increases with multiple births or pregnancies.
"Because I had worked in pre and post-natal fitness before, I was aware of diastasis, but it's not the same until you go through it yourself," Haley, 37, tells PEOPLE. "Right away when I found it, I backed off from doing any severe core conditioning. For some of us, it is hard to accept because you are fit, you feel fit, but there is danger in doing [core exercises] and lifting large amounts of weight during pregnancy."
After giving birth, she was able to begin doing exercises to heal her split abs. Now Haley has assembled the best moves for women dealing with the same condition as part of her new postnatal workout DVD, Expecting More: The 4th Trimester Workout. The DVD also includes exercises to help new moms drop the baby weight while working on rebuilding their core.
"The key really is to go back slowly," she says. "You have to treat your post-natal recovery like recovery for an injury."Here are Haley's 5 best exercises to heal diastasis recti:
1. Kegels
Kegels are a great exercise to begin with when you're in diastasis recti recovery because they require you to contract some of your deepest core muscles and your pelvic floor. If kegeling is new to you, think of squeezing the muscles that stop the flow of urine, along with those that stop you from passing gas. It's a very small movement that no one can see you doing, which is even better because it means you can do them any time and any place. Do at least 10 repetitions a day. Try your best to kegel without squeezing your abs or butt, and make sure you can breathe deeply while doing them. If you literally just had a baby, especially a vaginal delivery, it may take you a while to feel this exercise.
2. Interlocking your TVA
Your TVA is your transverse abdominals – your deepest core muscles that most people often don't know how to use, whether they've had a baby or not. You must learn how to do this exercise properly if you truly want to heal your diastasis. Like kegels, this can be a tricky exercise to do, since your belly was stretched for 9 months. Keep in mind, if you are a new mom and had a C-section, it will be more challenging since the abdominals often need more time to heal. That doesn't mean you can't do this exercise; it simply means you may not feel it right away.
With a towel behind your back and seated tall, inhale through your nose. As you exhale, pull your navel to your spine. Take your hands to your belly so they are touching your rib cage on either side of your belly button. Inhale through your nose, and as you exhale push your skin together with your hands, as if you were trying to push your abs back together. You should feel your navel go closer to your spine and your rib cage soften and close a bit. Think of it as your hands assisting the abdominals to move back together, until they know how to do it on their own. It's the perfect way to start to train your abs intrinsically so they can eventually be stronger and more toned than they ever were. Do at least 10 repetitions a day.
3. Heel Slide
This is a classic diastasis recovery exercise that you will see in any PT office or diastasis recti recovery program. The idea here is to become comfortable moving your limbs while interlocking your TVA.
Lying on your back with your knees up and feet on the floor, lift your toes up off the floor so your feet are flexed. Exhale, engage your abdominals, and slowly push through your heel to slide one leg along the floor. The slower you go, the better. Inhale and relax, and exhale to bring the leg back in. Trust me, this exercises looks and sounds easier than it is. Alternate right and left heels for a total of eight repetitions, four on each side.
4. Knee Lifts
Another exercise that looks easier than it is. If it feels easy, you might not be doing it correctly. Lying on your back with your knees up and feet on the floor, lift one knee at a time. Point through the foot to keep the leg strong. The key here is to go only to hip level. If you pull the knee in too close to your chest, you will lose the isometric contraction of the TVA that will help heal your diastasis. Keep your hands on your belly so that you can literally feel the movement and help maintain the contraction. Alternate knee lifts 10 times, five reps on each side. (See video above for demonstration.)
5. Side Slide
This is probably the most advanced of the exercises. I would recommend doing it only once you've successfully learned to interlock your TVA. Twisting is NOT recommended for healing a diastasis recti; however, we still want to train and strengthen your obliques. This exercise will assist you in this.
Seated cross-legged on the floor, place one hand on your belly. Think of pulling your navel away from your hand and into your back. By keeping your hand on your belly, you should be able to feel your abs contracting and feel when they are not. Inhale through your nose to begin. As you exhale, with a towel in your opposite hand, slide the towel along the floor, out and away from your body. Think of going up and over to the side, so that your side body is not collapsing. Inhale again, and exhale to return with the same control you used when sliding out. Do six to eight reps on each side.
Bonus Exercise: Towel Pull
I'm adding this one because if you're competitive with yourself, you'll have fun with this one.
Lie on your back with your knees up and feet on the floor with a towel underneath your back. One edge of the towel should line up with your spine, and the other half of the towel should be outside of your back. Hold that side of the towel. Inhale and as you exhale, interlock your TVA as you try to pull the towel out from underneath your back. Your job is to use your abdominals to stop the towel from being pulled out. Begin with 15 seconds and increase to 30. Repeat on the other side. If you want to make this more challenging, ask a friend to try to pull the towel out.

World Series Game 3: Obstruction call a rarity, but correct in game-ending play
Saturday's Game 3 brought something no one has seen before in the World Series: a walk-off victory via obstruction.
The St. Louis Cardinals benefited, gaining a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox for a 2-1 series lead. While fans and media talking heads debated the ending, there was no debate.
Third base umpire Jim Joyce immediately signaled obstruction. Allen Craig was tripped by Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks, who was on the ground after failing to snag an errant throw.
"With the defensive player on the ground, without intent or intent, it's still obstruction," Joyce said. "You'd probably have to ask Middlebrooks that one, if he could have done anything. But that's not in our determination."
Umpires and MLB executive Joe Torre were on the scene to explain why the decision was correct. Umpires answered the questions of Red Sox manager John Farrell and protests from his players.
The only resulting question: Was Craig injured? He appeared to limp away from the plate after an awkward slide. Already nursing a sore foot that kept him out from the first week of September until Game 1 of the World Series, Craig might miss additional time.
Expect a determination ahead of Sunday's Game 4. First pitch at Busch Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET, with Lance Lynn scheduled to pitch against Clay Buchholz. However, Buchholz is questionable because of an injury.
Here's how the final play happened.
Yadier Molina singled. Craig, a pinch hitter, ripped a double down the left-field line. There were runners at second and third.
With the infield in, Jon Jay hit a grounder to diving second baseman Dustin Pedroia. He made a sensational stab and threw home to catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who tagged out Molina. Although he slid, Molina was out easily.
But then Saltalamacchia threw low and wide of third trying to get Craig. The ball glanced off Middlebrooks' glove and Craig's body, caroming into foul territory down the line.
After the ball got by, Middlebrooks, lying on his stomach, raised both legs and tripped Craig as Craig tried to head for home.
"I just know I have to dive for that ball. I'm on the ground. There's nowhere for me to go," Middlebrooks said.
Craig kept scrambling to get up.
"He was in my way. I couldn't tell you if he tried to trip me or not. I was just trying to get over him," he said.
Left fielder Daniel Nava retrieved the ball and made a strong throw home, where Saltalamacchia tagged a sliding Craig in time. But plate umpire Dana DeMuth signaled safe and then pointed to third, making clear obstruction had been called.
"I was excited at first because we nailed the guy at home. I wasn't sure why he was called safe," Middlebrooks said.
"We're all running to home to see why he was called safe. We didn't think there was any obstruction there, obviously. As I'm getting up, he trips over me. I don't know what else to say."
Said Cardinals slugger Matt Holliday: "You hate for it to end on a somewhat controversial play."
"You would like for it to end a little cleaner, but that's part of it," he said.
To some Red Sox fans, the tangle might've brought back painful memories from the 1975 World Series. In Game 3, Cincinnati's Ed Armbrister wasn't called for interference by plate umpire Larry Barnett when he blocked catcher Carlton Fisk on a 10th-inning bunt. Fisk made a wild throw, setting up Joe Morgan's winning single.

Philosophy and Archaeology (BA)
- UCAS code: VV54
- Next intake: September 2020
- Duration: 3 years
- Mode: Full time
Why study this course
The BA in Archaeology and Philosophy gives you the opportunity to combine the study of philosophy with the study of the past from the earliest human origins through to the late middle ages.
Archaeology addresses big questions about the human past for much of which no written record is available. This course concentrates on the British Isles, Europe and the eastern Mediterranean, including Egypt.
As a student at Cardiff, you will learn with staff who undertake cutting-edge research on all periods from early human origins to the recent past. You will also benefit from our state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratories, dedicated geophysical and surveying equipment and a range of sophisticated equipment for the analysis of artefacts.
Philosophy at Cardiff is distinct for its strong emphasis on ethics, politics, and aesthetics and its equal attention to 'analytic' and 'Continental' styles of Western philosophy.
Many students find joint honours both stimulating and rewarding as they observe both similarities and differences between the two subjects. Often there are complementary issues and perspectives as well as skills and that link the subjects, be they critical analysis, historical contexts or recent research.
Each school involved in delivering the degree offers a challenging course of modules, supported by a friendly atmosphere and excellent staff-student relationships.
Distinctive features
The distinctive features of the course include:
- a strong emphasis on ethics, politics, and aesthetics
- equal attention to 'analytic' and 'Continental' styles of Western philosophy
- close contacts with local historical sites such as St Fagans National History Museum, Caerleon and Caerwent – allowing additional links with archaeology as an academic discipline
- an excavation or archaeological placement at the end of year two and year three, organised and funded by the School of History, Archaeology and Religion at Cardiff.

If you wish, you can write a dissertation on a topic of your choice in either discipline. This provides a chance for you to focus your interests on a particular area or period.
You will undertake another four weeks of excavation or another archaeological work placement.
The University is committed to providing a wide range of module options where possible, but please be aware that whilst every effort is made to offer choice this may be limited in certain circumstances. This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
Learning and assessment
We offer a supportive learning environment, where you are enabled to acquire a range of skills and a wealth of specialist knowledge. Our courses foster intellectual skills, such as critical thinking, close analysis, evaluating evidence, constructing arguments, using theory and the effective deployment of language in writing and in debate. We also help you gain experience in team working, independent research and time management.
You will be taught both by lecture and seminar. Lectures provide an overview of the key concepts and frameworks for a topic, equipping you to carry out independent research for the seminars and to develop your own ideas.
Seminars provide an opportunity for you to explore the ideas outlined in the lectures. Seminars usually consist of about 15 students and the seminar leader (a member of the teaching team). Seminars may take various formats, including plenary group discussion, small-group work and student-led presentations.
You will also learn through archaeological practicals and field trips, and take part in one-to-one tutorials.
How will I be supported?
Your scheduled contact hours will be supplemented by the opportunity for individual meetings with academic staff, by supportive academic progress meetings with your personal tutor and by the opportunity to attend research seminars and careers activities.
You will have access through the Learning Central website to relevant multimedia material, presentations, lecture handouts, bibliographies, further links, electronic exercises and discussion circles.
The University offers a range of services including the Careers Service, the Counselling Service, the Disability and Dyslexia Service, the Student Support Service, and excellent libraries and resource centres.
We'll provide you with frequent feedback on your work. This comes in a variety of formats including oral feedback during tutorials, personalised feedback on written work, feedback lectures, generic written feedback and feedback on tutorial performance.
Coursework will be marked by your module tutor and your tutor will give you written feedback on your work. You will also have a feedback class after each assessment. Students will be given general feedback in relation to examinations following the May/June examination period and you will be able to discuss your overall performance with your personal tutor as part of the monitored student self-assessment scheme.
What skills will I practise and develop?
As a result of engaging fully with this course, you will acquire and develop a range of valuable skills, both those which are discipline specific and more generic 'employability skills', which will allow you to:
- grasp complex issues with confidence
- ask the right questions of complex texts
- have an imaginative appreciation of different views and options and analyse these critically
- identify and apply relevant data
- propose imaginative solutions of your own that are rooted in evidence
- communicate clearly, concisely and persuasively in writing and speech
- work to deadlines and priorities, managing a range of tasks at the same time
- learn from constructive criticism and incorporate its insights
- work as part of a team, developing a collaborative approach to problem-solving
- use IT programmes and digital media, where appropriate
- take responsibility for your own learning programme and professional development.
Career prospects
In 2015/16, 95% of the School's graduates who were available for work reported they were in employment and/or further study within six months of graduating.
Philosophy graduates have excellent analytic and communication skills that fit them for a full range of professions and further training. Their cultural expertise and intellectual abilities are valued in the public and private sector, and in contexts as varied as the classroom, the law courts or the media.
In 2015/16, 94% of the School's graduates who were available for work reported they were in employment and/or further study within six months of graduating..
We believe that archaeology students are particularly well placed to compete for employment as their degree involves a range of practical and academic skills which have a wide value beyond archaeology. These transferable skills have permitted our graduates to find work in journalism, banking, finance, teaching and a wide range of other areas.
We organise interactive workshops with the Careers Service to help students identify their skills and attributes. Many of our graduates enter professions which make direct use of their academic expertise such as work in archives or museums. The majority, however, compete very successfully in a wide range of other fields.
You will undertake four weeks of archaeological excavation or another archaeological work placement at the end of your second and third years. Placements are arranged, approved, funded and assessed by the School of History, Archaeology and Religion.
