Band: Epica
Album: Requiem For The Indifferent
Release Date: March 2012
Genre: Symphonic Metal
Label: Nuclear Blast Records
It's been two and a half years since the release of Design Your Universe, an album which, in my opinion, pales in comparison to other Epica releases. So far, Requiem for the Indifferent has received many praises, building up quite the hype for it amongst fans.
Karma opens up the album, in true Epica fashion of orchestration, though taking on a more tense sound than previous opening tracks. The choir section adds to the mystical soundings of the song before Monopoly On Truth tears through with a mixture of gutsy riffs and symphonic elements, that along aside the choir vocals, command the track with a certain unrelenting power. The vocal work of both Mark and Simone are pretty much capital to the track, making it a standard Epica track. The fine-spun solo sounds quite bluesy and old school while keeping a twist of modern elements. Storm The Sorrow kicks off with a tragic yet beautiful introduction that lay down the foundations for Simone's aw-inspiring vocals to build upon, whilst the well-structured, sophisticated guitar work of Mark and Isaac lift the symphonic and choir elements to new heights, following well with the rhythm sections. Mark's vocals are quite sinister, leading unexpectedly into the soothing piano-and-vocal combination. Eventually, the song ends on a firm note.
Delirium starts in similar fashion to Living A Lie, due to the hummed choir section. The ethereal piano medley that follows causes the track to differ from Living A Lie, as Simone's steadfast vocals softly echo throughout. Ariën's drum work allows for the piano medleys to be led down a subtle flow of rhythm, leading into the steady guitar solo. I would definitely count this as a "chill out" track. The next track, Infertal Warfare, which is dedicated to the victims of Anders Breivik (the Norwegian terrorist who killed several youths and bombed a government building in July 2011), has a very dramatic introduction. Simon's vocals sound darker and somewhat terrifying, a massive contrast compared to her usual full-of-life vocals, yet a good contrast as her vocals mix in well with nebulous and lurid orchestration. The choir offers a sullen sound to the music but the guitars and Mark's vocals offer the more macabre touch to the song, with the guitar and keyboard solos having an almost Dragonforce-like touch to them.
Requiem for the Indifferent brings the staunch Arabic sounds of previous Epica tracks back into use, fusing them with solemn acoustic elements before the full force of the guitars and drums are put into action alongside the dusky orchestration. The guitars are, for me anyway, the highlight of the song with their ever changing sound and the ability to adapt to the orchestration. The choirs add a very Shakespearean tension to the music, making it more climatic than most Epica tracks. The following track, Anima, serves as a very emotive interlude, bringing the proverbial calm before the storm that is Guilty Demeanour, a song that is relatively slow paced when compared to the rest of the album. The orchestration is virtually flawless, while Simone's vocal work feels a bit toned down. A breath taking string section introduces Deep Water Horizon, accompanied by Simone's vocals. The percussion adds to the hypnotic effect of the song and the guitars are quite piercing, adding a sharpness to the music.
The tragicomic soundings of Stay The Course come net, with Mark's vocals being harsh yet mesmerising. The acute orchestrated pieces keep the song exciting, as do the progressive guitar stylings of Isaac and Mark. Simone's vocals are quite graceful sounding on this track, artistically domineering the song. Deter The Tyrant starts with what could easily be mistaken for a stripped down introduction to a Powerwolf track. The guitars are callous in some of the sections, struggling to match the more experienced sounding orchestration. Simone's vocals echo delightfully throughout the track, going head-to-head with the exquisite vocal stylings of the choir. Mark's vocals also make a very distinct appearance during the latter half of the song, reinforcing the Epica sound we're all accustomed to.
Despite its name, Avalanche, comes in quite softly, like a mouse scurrying through an empty church. The orchestration is semi-majestic, allowing for a mystical sound to be created along side Simone's vocals. Mark's vocal stylings strike unexpectedly, adding a dose of brutality to the song, blending with the heavier sections of the song like some sort of demonic ichor. The choir parts add a very thespian feel to the song, as does the orchestration. The song comes to its end very softly, allowing for a breather as the piano introduction of the final track, Serenade Of Self-Destructive, eases its through the speakers – That is until the orchestration and guitars come crashing down like a landslide of finely composed music. Both Simone's and Mark's vocals are performed radiantly, making this the most illustrious tracks of the album. The percussion is spot on, as is the bass work of Yves. Musically, the song is probably the most diverse piece on the album, mixing the overwhelming power of the orchestration with the aggressive guitars and drums, topped off with the differing yet beautiful vocal parts.
Requiem For The Indifferent is the most powerful release from Epica since the release of Cry For The Moon and The Divine Conspiracy. They have taken their sound apart and rebuilt it, stronger than ever while staying true to their origins. The orchestration and vocals are the parts that stand out the most, as they the album its powerful, emotional sound while the guitars help keep the essence of previous Epica releases flowing. If anything, I don't think another symphonic metal album, let another Epica release, could top this.

Facebook Changed Their Algorithm AGAIN?
Yeah, it's true. Just when you felt you had a handle on it and were making some headway, Facebook decides to return to the formula that made them so popular by prioritize content from "friends, family and groups."
You know those 5,000 followers you worked so hard to obtain? You can expect to see a significant decrease in organic reach unless you're:
- Publishing content that sparkles with personality
- Crafting, curating and sharing posts that people tend to comment on
- Asking people to "see first" in their newsfeed
- Using "Groups" to encourage personal engagement
- Paying for reach by purchasing ads
What it means for health clubs?
Let's face it, the whole social exercise is moot unless it increases club visits, more downloaded guest passes and ultimately paid memberships and/or services. You STILL need:
- Marketing that links to landing pages and lead generators.
- Referrals (seeing your friends engage with your brand helps but is just on ingredient in the recipe for earning great referrals).
- Be visible across all of your other social media channels (Instagram, Linked-In and Twitter are top)

Amazon knows my life better than I do
For a short period after I moved to Las Vegas, I thought that I had forgotten my shower curtain in California. However, I soon remembered that I never actually had a shower curtain (my apartment used to have a sliding glass door, and the team house shower curtain belongs in the team house), so I went and bought a new shower curtain. I bought a Volens ruffled white shower curtain because it looked more luxurious and elegant than a regular printed shower curtain, and it fit my apartment's minimalistic and simple theme pretty well. After it arrived, I hung it up using the included rings, and I had my shower curtain. Now normally, Amazon gives you product recommendations based off what you purchase. Sometimes it will recommend the same item again in the case of refillable products, but for one-time or big purchases (like televisions), it usually won't continue to recommend you even more TVs, as it knows you now already have one. In those situations, it may instead start recommending related products, like a TV wall mount. For some reason, Amazon insisted on constantly giving me additional shower curtain recommendations. Now, if I had purchased a product like dog treats, it would make sense for Amazon to continue recommending dog treats to me, as my (theoretically-existing) dog (for the purposes of this example) would eventually finish consuming the treats and need more. However, people generally don't eat or replace their shower curtains too often, so I was very confused as to why my recommendations were lined with more shower curtains. I ended up just ignoring the recommendations, and everything was fine for two months. But recently, my shower curtain started smelling a bit unpleasant – it was actually the smell that clothes give off if they've been left out to air dry in a humid and bacteria-prone area, instead of being quickly dried in a machine dryer. This wasn't a problem, though – I just unhooked my fancy shower curtain from the rings and threw it in the washing machine and dryer. It shrunk. For some reason, the shower curtain railing above my bathtub is unusually high, and on top of that, my tub is one of those hybrid soaking tubs that are ergonomically designed in an oval (which requires even more leftover curtain at the bottom to be able to stretch inward and fit inside the tub). My royal shower curtain was already only just barely making it in, but with it just barely shrinking in the wash (because this was made out of polyester and not vinyl), it was hanging above the tub. This is the moment I discovered that Amazon knew what was going to happen months before it happened, and I began questioning the meaning of life. Amazon somehow knew that, because I had only purchased a polyester fabric shower curtain and no vinyl shower curtain liner to go with it, it should keep recommending shower curtains because it predicted that (1) I needed something vinyl to go inside the tub, (2) I would wash this shower curtain, it would shrink, and I would need to buy a new one, or (3) both. I picked out a PEVA shower curtain liner and placed my order. The shower curtain recommendations instantly disappeared. Now Amazon is recommending different kinds of body wash, soap, and toothbrushes to me. I haven't replaced my toothbrush in 4 months. I'm just going to pretend like Amazon doesn't actually know that, and they just made a lucky guess.

Join us for an adventure in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt places in the world. Steeped in history and fascinating culture, this seven day jeep tour will allow you to explore this wonderful country and the spectacular scenery of the Carpathian Mountains. You will visit Saxon villages, completely unchanged for hundreds of years; stay in traditional wooden houses and eat delicious local cuisine. Romania's landscape has been protected and allowed to flourish so is rich in diverse plants and wildlife. This offers a glimpse of how ancient England would have looked, where wolves and bears still roam in the forests. This beautiful country presents countless architectural treasures that are waiting to be explored, including the the home of Bram Stoker's Dracula himself.
Day 1
After arriving at Bucharest airport, we meet together and head to the Carpathian Mountains. By jeep, we will climb an altitude of 2000m to the south of the Carpathian range at the Bucegi Mountains, located between Transylvania and Wallachia. Here we will stop for a short trek. The mountain range has been carved through by the Prahova River, creating an impressive valley containing karst caves, forest landscapes and beautiful rock formations. From here we will continue to the town of Sinaia, where you will have the opportunity to explore the 19th Century Peleș Castle. It's an impressive structure, replicating Germain renaissance architecture and decorated with incredible ornaments from all over the world. Inside you will see Murano crystal chandeliers, a music room carved entirely by Teak, ceilings made from Turkish silk embroideries and a theatre room decorated by Gustav Klimt.
Day 2
We continue north through the Carpathians, a journey woven through traditional villages, heavy forests and wonderful alpine vistas, before stopping in Brașov. Brașov is a city that's mixes modern city life with Romania's beautiful city charm, set in a backdrop of spectacular mountain scenery. We'll use a cable car from here to climb to Mount Tâmpa where you can enjoy impressive views of the city. The evening will be spent in Poiana Brașov ski resort for dinner and accommodation.
Day 3
This day will be spent discovering the Piatra Craiuli National Park, arguably the most beautiful protected area in the Carpathian range. Bordered by glacial lakes, the massif contains striking limestone structures, caves and gorges and boasts one of the highest ridges in the country. The mountain opens into a steep valley that descends towards beautiful meadows and picturesque villages. We will visit these and eat a home-cooked meal with our hosts in the village of Pestera. Later, we will go to Bram Castle to explore the home and legend of Dracula. The castle is magnificent and beautiful, steeped heavily in historical accuracy and myth.
Day 4
On this day we will visit the best sights of Transalvania and will begin with the handsome Saxon village of Viscri. This tiny village has become one of the most important tourist destinations in Romania due to its fairy tale image, perfectly preserved from the 12th Century. Traditional blacksmiths, horse-and carts and beautiful architecture are all contained here for you to experience. In the heart of the village is an incredible fortified church, recognised by UNESCO as one of the most important structures in Romania. There is also delicious food to be tried; we can enjoy an organic, home-grown, home-cooked meal prepared by the locals before leaving for Sighișoara for the evening
Day 5
We begin the day in Sighișoara, a beautiful medieval town of cobbled roads and pastel houses surrounded by a fortified wall. It's not difficult to waste a few hours here in the pretty cafes and crafts shops, or by exploring the town and its striking architecture. Continuing towards Păstrăvăria Albota, our journey takes us through dense oak forests, inhabiting a wonderful population of plants and wildlife. It's common to see bears here but if you're lucky you may sight a lynx or a wolf too. We will stop along our journey at some of the local attractions before resting for the evening in a family hotel.
Day 6
Continuing our expedition through the Carpathian range, we drive over the Transfăgărășan where you will experience the picturesque mountain landscape and alpine meadows. There are some truly breathtaking places along the way, such Vidraru Lake, where our road passes over it's dam. At the highest point of the Transfăgărășan we'll stop at Balea Lake, a beautiful glacial lake and home to Europe's first ice hotel. We continue from here to Curtea de Argeș, a charming city that holds Romania's oldest monuments and a very special cathedral. We finish the day in Bucharest for dinner and accommodation.
Day 7
Our final day will be spent in Bucharest, Romania's capital. Bucharest has an interesting mix of sights and architecture due to its communist past. However, it still holds the elegance and charm that rivals other capitals and there's a huge amount to do. Just walking through the city you'll see a real blend of influences such as the 17th Century Orthodox churches, the very communist Palace of Parliament and little pockets of art nouveau housing. The Caru' cu Bere is the Old Town's most famous beer hall and although its a tourist-spot the beer is very cheap and it's a hugely enjoyable place. There are many green spots to relax in, particularly the Cismigiu Gardens or you can enjoy the trendy cafes and shopping areas. Look out for the Carturesti Carusel, one of the most impressive bookshops in Europe. Flights home in the evening.

Question # : 156778
Answer : 156778
Published on: Dec 14, 2017
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 314/252/N=3/1439)
If you are certain that the income of the invitee is doubtful then in such case there is no harm in skipping his invitation. It is not good to doubt unnecessarily about the income of a Muslim and avoid his invitation without any reason specially when the other member of jamat are accepting his invitation. Sometimes such type of precaution hurts the invitee or the other friends dislike it.

It has been used as animal glue for thousands of years. More recently it has found its way into hair care products to give hair body and stiffness. The process to manufacture is similar to gelatin but not as clean. Is it ok to use hair care products with small amounts of hydrolyzed keratin?
Does the holy quran talk about the usage of pig skins-i know it clearly forbides the consumption fo the same. May i also understand why our religion forbids the consumption of pork-i am lead to beleive that pork meat putrifies faster than any other meat consumed by man and the holy prophet considering the times when preservation was difficult in the desert due to the extreme heat conditions and obvious lack of refrigeration, forbid the consumption of the same due to medical reasons as many people were falling sick due to the quick puetrifaction fo the meat.

Shoe care
High-class leather shoes and perfect shoe care
A Sioux shoe is truly a trusted companion thanks to its high quality. But even premium materials need support in order to offer protection against environmental influences. Taking care of a Sioux shoe properly means maintaining its worth and exceptional comfort for a long time.
There's much more to good shoe care than just regularly cleaning the shoes. Taking breaks from wearing them, correctly taking them on and off, as well as using a shoe tree, are all important steps when it comes to maintaining proper care, and, in doing so, ensuring that they last as long as possible.
A well-cared-for shoe is like a business card
Well-cared-for footwear serves as a durable business card for the wearer. Care begins with taking the shoes on and off in the correct manner. Shoes should also be given a break from being worn.
After a long day at the office or out and about, you should place a shoe tree inside each shoe. This ensures that the shoe retains its original shape and helps it to air out whilst it is not being worn. By putting these recommendations into practice and through regular and diligent cleaning, you can look forward to wearing your shoes for a long time to come.
our product recommendations for you
Taking breaks from wearing your leather shoes makes a significant impact in terms of increasing their lifespan. Those who regularly take a break from wearing their shoes benefit from a high standard of shoe hygiene as well as being able to preserve the optimal fit of their shoes for as long as possible.
You may well believe that you already learned how to take your shoes on and off as a toddler. That is true of course, but we are concerned with doing this in a way that best preserves your high-quality leather shoes.
Lasts are used as part of the shoe manufacturing process. These are modelled on the human foot and give the shoe its shape and stability. In everyday use, shoe trees should be used to take on this role.
Shoe cleaning is an art in itself and a task that fewer and fewer people are unfortunately taking the time to do. This is a shame because shoes are at their best when they are cleaned and maintained well. Not only this, but we also believe that it puts people in good stead and gives off a neat and orderly overall impression to not only take pride in their outer clothing, but also keep their footwear well-maintained. "Smart up top, casual on the bottom" is not a motto that we recommend following for your style inspiration, even with laid-back fashion trends that are popular nowadays.
The impeccable condition that your shoes arrive in will show signs of wear and tear over time. It is worthwhile using the correct care product for your shoes in order to counteract this.
A shoe brush is an essential tool for every type of shoe care. It is important to use the correct shoe brush for the respective outer material of the shoe and to preserve the leather rather than unintentionally cause additional wear. Thoroughly caring for your shoes always starts with brushing the shoes and ends with the final polishing.
Just like our skin, leather also needs regular care in order to stay soft, durable and crease-free. The same goes for our shoes. Those who regularly take the time to polish their shoes provide them with suppleness and elasticity whilst protecting them from moisture.
Our suede leather is our most fashionable and luxurious leather. Impregnation spray is often the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the topic of shoe care, and rightly so, however impregnation is only half of the story. Find out the reasons why here.
Impregnating your shoes – arguably the most well-known way of caring for your own shoes. Find out here exactly how the impregnation process works, what factors are important to consider with this treatment and the shoes which benefit most from this process.

Fast Company Features Hendrick & Co.
Fast Company Magazine sat down with David Hendrickson to discuss Hendrick Boards and saving animals. The video interview is part of the publication's web series, Change Generation, which profiles companies making a difference in the community.
Meet William. He used to be a very sick dog, but with some loving care (and some longboarding trips), he regained his health. Now the founders of Hendrick Boards want to help do that for other creatures—dogs, cats, skunks, you name it. With every purchase of a new board or new clothes, the company makes a donation to an animal shelter closest to you. And, of course, the products are all-natural, to prevent industrial waste products that might hurt the animals. They also sometimes put dogs on surfboards. What's better than that?

On September 30th, 2016, Bolloré Transport & Logistics Ivory Coast successfully obtained the approval of Bureau Veritas for the renewal of its ISO 9001 certificate (2015 version) for its transport and logistics activities.
It is the Bolloré Group's first African subsidiary to be awarded this certificate.
The certification audit for the renewal was carried out in the various departments concerned from September 26-30 2016, by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in certification.
The new 2015 version of ISO 9001 replaces the 2008 version. It sets out a slightly different view of quality management, notably via a more specific approach to risk (operational process risks, product risks, default risks, etc.).
Understanding customer expectations has been placed at the heart of the approach to quality, so that the expectations of corporate customers are met and managed more effectively.
A strong commitment by local management and the significant involvement of teams at every level were pre-requisites for obtaining this certificate, demonstrating Bolloré Transport & Logistics' dedication to improving the various factors that drive quality and customer satisfaction.
The successful certification process can be attributed to the level of excellence and know-how displayed by the teams concerned at Bolloré Transport & Logistics Ivory Coast (maritime solutions, logistics, industrial project logistics, value-added warehousing, general management and support functions).

Land Use Planning for Wildfire Resilience
The way we manage our built environment and plan for future growth can increase or decrease the impact of wildfires on Colorado communities. Drought and climate change also compound and magnify the risks that communities face throughout the state, especially in the wildland urban interface (WUI).
Moving forward, strategic land use planning will be essential to build community resilience by minimizing or avoiding exposure to wildfire, and other interrelated hazards. This webinar will focus on how local governments and communities can reduce their risk and vulnerability to wildfire by integrating hazard risk reduction strategies into land use planning.
The webinar will highlight strategies, including, integrating wildfire into the comprehensive plan, subdivision standards, and site-specific hazards assessments. Finally, the webinar will explore how Summit County has been able to successfully implement some of the land use planning tools described to reduce their wildfire risk.

The star in the modern cannabis industry is Jack Herer, a sativa-dominant strain that is the namesake of the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. The man's cannabis activity continues to remind the humankind that cannabis is an integral part of the history.
Jack Herer: General Info
The Jack Herer weed is the "child" of the widely known company Sensi Seeds that was trying to combine the best properties of sativas and indicas in one strain. Jack Herer originates from such strains as Haze, Shiva Skunk, and Northern Lights #5. The rich genetics of the strain made it possible to create several variations. Each phenotype deserves to be highly valued for the unique features and effects. Besides, Kach Herer is the most awarded strain at all harvest festivals. Even such strains as Jack The Ripper and Jack Frost stay behind. As Jack Herer has nine awards on its record, it became the strain the Dutch pharmacies have chosen for being distributed alongside the county as a recognized medical strain.
Jack Herer has received a quite positive feature from its indica parents—the ability to produce a lot of resin. The buds of Jack Herer are so filled with trichomes that they look like they are sugar-coated. It is almost unbelievable, but even the spear leaves, stems, and stalks of the plant are covered with such "frosting."
Taste and Effects
The taste of the strain is a bit earthy and piney. The stench of Jack Herer is really spicy. Do not be afraid of the nasty smell in your room after smoking this strain; on the contrary, you will find yourself in the tropical forest. The taste in your mouth will bring you a double satisfaction as there is nothing more sweet and fruity than the Jack Herer strain. The smoke of the strain is cold and even icy, so do not worry if your throat starts to feel a little cool. More than that, many marijuana enthusiasts say that it is one of the beneficial properties of Jack Herer. Talking about the effects that the strain may bring to you, Jack Herer works as a great wake and bake strain. The immediate rush of energy will follow you the whole day long. Enjoy!

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed fencing had gone up around the Shell station near the corner of N Durham Drive and N Loop West. Within a few days, equipment had been brought to the site and the station was demolished. I haven't had the chance to take any pictures of the activity, but they have removed almost all of the building above ground and are now working on removing the remaining structure underground. Does anyone know if there is a project scheduled to go up on this site? (If this topic has been touched upon in another thread, it would be great if someone could link it here.)

Costs of Building a Single Townhouse
jpowell4861 posted a topic in Houston Real EstateHi, I have been in the market for a home for about 2 years now. Most of what I found was a pick and choose of different qualities with each house. This is fine but I wanted to flirt with the idea of the costs of designing and building a townhouse on a piece of already purchased land in say First Ward. I know that in 2015 people mentioned it could cost somewhere around $150 per square foot. Would you this is accurate these days? Are there any major issues to be aware of when doing this. I know these builders get construction discounts when building multiple townhomes on a piece of land but this would be a single house. Any insight on the costs would be great!
Improving the Houston Parks System
cloud713 posted a topic in General Houston DiscussionsWhat can we do to improve our parks system? What parks would you say could use renovations, and how would you like for them to be renovated? Where do you see the potential or need for new parks? i think improving our parks system, paired with a green roof initiative could really change a lot of peoples perceptions about Houston from being a dirty polluted oil dominated city, to an environmentally friendly, beautiful green city. Here are a few stats for why I think we could stand to work on our parks system. "In seven of the nation's largest cities, nine out of 10 residents live within a one-half mile walk to a park, according to the report. The seven are New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington, D.C." only 45% of Houstons residents (or half the percentage of the 7 cities listed above) live within walking distance of a park.. thats over 1.2 million people who cannot walk to a park in this city. (the average of the 40 largest cities in the US was 68%.. the highest was San Francisco at a whopping 98% of its population) Houston spends $40 per resident on its parks system a year. less than half of the national average ($82). compared to the highest spender (Washington D.C.), who spends $397 a year per resident on its parks, we spend almost 10 times less on our parks. We didnt even make the top 10 in any of these "snapshots", covering baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, swimming pools, skate parks, rec centers/senior centers, and dog parks. http://www.tpl.org/sites/default/files/cloud.tpl.org/pubs/ccpe-cityparkfacts-2012.pdf

I was watching tonight's KBTX 6 PM news and they reported that the closed Albertson's shopping center at south College and University Drive will be mostly demolished for an infill type student apartment building. I can't find any online articles about it yet, but I will post as soon as KBTX puts this evening's stories online and I can find any site plans or announcements from the developer. Apparently It will be called the "The Stack", appears to be 4 or 5 stories, will have ground floor retail and 2 levels of underground parking, and have about 400? units. Apparently it won't actually cover the whole center, but rather end at Hurricane Harry's which will remain.
Houston's First Whiskey Distillery
MissKris posted a topic in Community AnnouncementsHello, I am the marketing manager for Yellow Rose Distilling. We have recently just launched a campaign to raise funds to complete the build out of Houston's first distillery and first tasting room. Once this is completed you will be able to take tours just like at Saint Arnold or Karbach. We are centrally located and I am really excited and passionate about this! For those of you who do not know what a Kickstarter is, it is a way to raise money for projects, ideas, ect. You set a goal and if you reach it, you get the funds, if not, you do not. It is all or nothing. When you pledge, there are rewards for each level or amount that you pledge. The rewards range from rocks glasses, parties at the distillery, barrels and on up! All pledges count, big or small. Please help us out! It would be greatly appreciated! If you can't donate, please spread the word!

Do you know of any materials that would work as colour-changing tiles?

Things A Good Professional Training Coach Always Does
Fitness and physical training is an essential aspect of a professional athlete's routine, and it is where their coach's experience and mastery plays a major role. The United States Department of Labor defines the trainer's job as one where they "lead, instruct and motivate" their charges/training groups. The characteristics of a good professional training coach are encapsulated within these three primary aims which are:
A Professional Training Coach Knows How to Lead
By definition, a good leader, no matter the field, has certain underlying qualities that make him/her stand out from the pack. Good coaches are no different; they need to have the ability to bring the best out of their charges without demoralizing them.
Before setting out a training regimen, a professional training coach knows that they need to be absolutely certain that the routine they've chosen is the right one for their charge. This involves assessing a player's physical characteristics, body asymmetries and weak spots which require improvement. Preparing a one on one training program without knowing or understanding a player's dysfunction and ability can lead to severe injuries due to overuse or strain.
The key to a good relationship between a coach and his charge is direct, honest communication. This involves listening carefully to their athletes, giving them the chance to express their doubts and their expectations. This, in turn, encourages players to be honest about the level of motivation and commitment they have towards their goals. Being a good communicator also motivates people to be good listeners, making them trust and rely on your advice more readily.
Understand the Limit
Once a coach has assessed their charges through recommended screen tests, they'll be able to ascertain exactly how much load or stress will be required to keep them fit without pushing them over the edge. For professional athletes, this also involves knowing how to manage their routines for both on and off-season training sessions.
A good professional training coach will focus on improving performance with a routine that drives and motivates their charge to keep at it. Improvement sessions are not drill sessions; they shouldn't leave athletes feeling exhausted and discouraged.
Help Recover
The energy expended during fitness and physical training needs to be balanced out by proper recovery routines before and after the sessions. Professional coaches also focus on the supporting elements of a fitness regime such as a proper diet, good sleeping habits, hydration and recovery exercises like foam rolling and compressions.
A Professional Training Coach Knows How to Instruct
Instructing implies imparting knowledge, and therefore, a good coach needs to have the prerequisite qualifications and skills to do their job well.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, most professional coach employers prefer their coaches to hold a qualifying Bachelor's or associate's degree in a health or fitness related field like physical education, kinesiology or exercise science. Additionally, many employers also require their coaches to hold official certifications and accreditations from NCCA accredited certification programs.
Know the Sport
In the case of professional sports, a coach should also know the ins and outs of the game thoroughly. Knowing the rules and regulations of the sport will give the trainer the ability to guide and coach their charge into making the right decisions and strategies on the court or field. It also involves keeping up with the latest information, playing tactics and changes in the game's rules.
A Professional Training Coach Knows How to Motivate
Motivation is central to a coach's ability, and is an oft-misunderstood skill when it comes to its application. Motivation isn't about pushing people to win; it's about building their desire to win.
Discover their Motivation
Motivation comes from within, and therefore, a private trainer focuses on finding what motivates players through constant observation and open communication. Once they've discovered their charge's motivation, coaches can encourage them to work towards it. This involves recognizing positive efforts and challenging aspects that don't fulfill the charge's needs.
Another key role of a professional coach involves keeping their charges from backsliding due to discouragement or fatigue. This involves listening to them, and working on helping them master their frustration with patience and positive reinforcement.
The above-mentioned qualifications aren't a gold standard for all professional coaches, but are good indicators of a great one.

Have you ever found yourself wishing you could create a custom Sidecar user interface within your Sugar instance? Maybe you want to allow users to visit a URL that displays a custom view.
It turns out that creating a linkable URL (or route) to within the Sugar client is fairly simple. In this post, I'll walk you through how to implement a new route in your Sugar instance that displays an alert.
What is a Route?
Sidecar utilizes the Backbone Router as the method for controlling client-side navigation within the Sugar application. The Router will take the current URL in the browser (the route) and call the appropriate callback function. The callback could do something like display an alert or load a Sidecar Layout or View. The Router will pass information included in the route like a module name and a record identifier to the callback function.
Most of the routes are already set up for you. For example, visiting a Sugar instance URL that ends with "#Home" will load the default dashboard layout. Visiting a URL that ends with "#Accounts/<id>" will load the Account record view for the record with the appropriate identifier.
Creating your own route
When you decide to create your own route, the first thing you'll want to do is decide what your custom route should be. In this example, we'll use "helloWorld" as our custom route, meaning that the full URL will be http://yourSugarInstance/#helloWorld.
Next, you need to decide what should happen when someone accesses the route. Let's display an alert message that says, "Hello, fabulous person!"
Now that we know what we want to do, it's time to code!
Create a new file in your Sugar directory: ./custom/javascript/customRoutes.js:
SUGAR.App.events.on("router:init", function(){
//Register the route #helloWorld
SUGAR.App.router.route("helloWorld", "Hello World", function() {
SUGAR.App.alert.show('message-id', {
level: 'info',
messages: 'Hello, fabulous person!',
autoClose: false
This code registers the custom "helloWorld" route during the "router:init" event. This code could exist in a file with any name at any location.
The next thing we need to do is create a JSGrouping extension that will tell Sugar we have created custom routes.
Create a new file in your Sugar directory: ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/JSGroupings/myCustomRoutes.php:
foreach ($js_groupings as $key => $groupings) {
$target = current(array_values($groupings));
//if the target grouping is found
if ($target == 'include/javascript/sugar_grp7.min.js') {
//append the custom JavaScript file
$js_groupings[$key]['custom/javascript/customRoutes.js'] = 'include/javascript/sugar_grp7.min.js';
Before we can try our custom route, we need to run Quick Repair. Login to Sugar as an administrative user and navigate to Administration > Repair > Quick Repair and Rebuild.
If you want to take things a step further and display an iframe for a custom route as seen in the screenshot below, check out the Canvas IFrame Building Block example.
For more detailed information on creating custom routes including how to designate new route patterns, see the Developer Guide.

Donald Trump is in hot water once again after making a sexist comment about Stormy Daniels, the very woman who he allegedly cheated on Melania with. The POTUS called the former adult film actress 'horseface.'
Now, social media is fuming because of the misogynistic comment and users made sure to tell Trump exactly what they think!
After a judge decided to throw out Stormy's defamation lawsuit against Trump, the current president celebrated the victory by insulting her appearance on Twitter!
Aside from calling the woman he once slept with 'horseface,' the Donald also announced that he 'can now go after' Stormy and 'her 3rd rate lawyer' by suing them back.
The full tweet reads: ''Federal Judge throws out Stormy Daniels' lawsuit versus Trump. Trump's entitled to legal fees.' @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her third-rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She'll confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, [she's] a total con!'
While it's totally disgusting, it is also not at all surprising that he insulted her looks.
After all, Donald Trump has done that in the past as well – going after women who he felt threatened by and attacking their outer appearance.
Back in 2015, he infamously said about GOP opponent Carly Fiorina: 'Look at that face! Would anybody vote for that? Can you imagine that as the face of our next president?!' And this is just one example!
The voters are outraged after his comment about Stormy.
'You disregarded your wife and your children when you decided to be unfaithful, and now you are excited for a public legal battle over it? What the actual f**k is wrong with you? You are a national embarrassment, and no amount of childish gloating will convince me you do not know it,' one user wrote.
''Horseface?' Really? With 20 sexual assault claims against u…ur despicable defense of other predators like Moore, Ailes, O'Reilly, and Kavanaugh…amid the rise of #MeToo… ur STILL shamelessly bullying women and attacking their looks? You are a tone-deaf sociopath. A monster…,' someone also slammed him.
'If she has a Horseface then, why did you f**k her??,' another tweeted.

Madison, Wis. (January 15, 2015) – CUNA announced today that CUNA Business Lending Certification Institute will take place July 20-24, 2015, in Madison, WI. Registration and institute details can be found at training.cuna.org/blci.
"CUNA Business Lending Certification Institute is the leading training event for credit union business lenders," says Kathy Smith, Instructional Design Manager at CUNA. "Institute attendees spend a week immersed in credit union-specific training, preparing them to meet the lending needs of their members and their credit unions."
Presented in partnership with University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business, this institute brings in business lending experts to lead sessions, network, review case studies and address real life business scenarios. At the end of the institute, lenders will be equipped to stimulate their communities by making loans to up-and-coming local businesses.
CUNA Business Lending Certification Institute is offered in three parts:
• Fundamentals – Year 1: Attendees develop a solid foundation for their business awareness and leave with a sophisticated understanding of the components involved in business lending services.
• Credit Analysis – Year 2: Attendees gain an intimate understanding of the challenges business members face in making debt service payments and other financial responsibilities.
• Advanced Credit Analysis – Year 3: Advanced attendees receive practical, hands-on experience with credit analysis and return to their credit unions with the skills to serve even the most complex business member portfolio.
Attendees who complete all three years of the institute will have the opportunity to earn their Credit Union Business Lending Professional (CUBLP) designation. Earning the designation separates designees from their peers and distinguishes them as the go-to professional for all business lending questions at their credit union. To earn the designation, attendees must attend all three years of the institute and pass an exam at the end of each year.
Plus, attendees can come early and attend the Introduction to the Credit Analysis Process pre-conference event.
For more information and to register, visit training.cuna.org/blci.

Do Kids Need Recovery Drinks After Exercise
By TrueSport, June 7, 2018
High-protein recovery drinks are marketed as an essential requirement for any athlete who actually wants to make progress. How could you possibly build muscle without loading up on additional protein, right?
Protein-rich recovery shakes have an important place in sports nutrition, but they are also over-used and consumed by people who don't need them. As a parent of a school-aged athlete, here's what you need to know before fixing a protein shake for your active child.

We Need Your Input
By Keenan Robinson, USA Swimming National Team Sports Medicine and Science Director and the Sports Medicine Committee
Last summer, two of our athlete reps brought to USA Swimming's attention that there is still a lack of understanding of age group swimming injuries. We created a task force to create a survey-based study better understand this topic. We have been given IRB approval, meaning, a review board has vetted our study design, intended statistical analysis, and publication value for preventative medicine. This is a similar process to the concussion study we started three years ago, which lead to two published papers and most importantly a return to swim guideline.
Dear Coach,
On behalf of the USA Swimming Sports Medicine Committee, I would like to thank you for considering participation in this short (it should take less than 7 minutes) anonymous survey aimed at collecting information to better understand injuries in the 18 and under swimming population. A small group comprised of leading physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists and chiropractors in the swimming community formulated this questionnaire with the primary goal of better understanding how injuries occur in the swimming community and how USA Swimming can better provide resources and services to educate and reduce the probability of swimming related injuries.
We have a goal of discussing the preliminary results in September of 2018 at the USAS Annual Convention in Jacksonville, FL. This presentation will then be made public on the USA Swimming website to help coaches, swimmers, and parents gain a better understanding of training volume, workout frequency, stroke specialization, dryland activities, and other factors that may impact the occurrence of injuries among swimmers.
We feel that feedback from the USA Swimming coaching community is critical, as you know best the issues related to injury and illness in competitive swimmers. We intend to use the information generated from this survey in a directed manner to help all our registered members. The results of this survey will also help inform the USA Swimming Sports Medicine Committee about future directions for educational programs and areas for further research.
Most importantly, we will publish our findings to better educate the health care providers who will have the opportunity to provide medical services to your swimmers in the future.This will truly lead to some vast improvements in understanding swimming injuries at the youth level.
Please take the survey
Encouragement Unleashes Potential
By Harvey MacKay, National Columnist, May 10, 2018
Thomas Edison's teacher said he was a poor student. His mother was furious at that characterization and took him out of school and taught him at home.
Edison gave this account of the incident in an interview published on Nov. 29, 1907: "One day I overheard the teacher tell the inspector that I was 'addled' and it would not be worthwhile keeping me in school any longer. I was so hurt by this last straw that I burst out crying and went home and told my mother about it. Then I found out what a good thing a good mother is."She came out as my strong defender. Mother love was aroused, mother pride wounded to the quick. She brought me back to school and angrily told the teacher that he didn't know what he was talking about, that I had more brains than he himself, and a lot more talk like that.

What It's Like to Be Recruited And why I committed to a School Before I Was Ready
By Charlee Dyroff, Slate.com, June 04, 2018
At 15, I'd collected a dozen pen pals around the country. They were women and men in their 40s and 50s, and they all wanted something from me. They wrote to me often, hoping to convince me that my life could change because of them—and they were right. They were Division I volleyball coaches who'd spotted an inkling of potential in me.The NCAA recently reported college recruiting generally happens sooner for girls than boys.

Your Lack of Sleep is Ruining Your Productivity
By Kathleen Davis, Fast Company, June 6 2018
Fast Company has run thousands of articles on every aspect of productivity. But the one topic that comes up the most, and that really is at the root of a lot of other productivity issues like focus, decision making, and time management, is sleep. No one thinks they are getting enough, and everyone wants to offer advice on tips and tricks and routines around sleep.Sleep basically impacts every aspect of our work lives. Not getting enough sleep can ruin your focus and concentration. According to the Division of Sleep Medicine At Harvard, if we get a bad night's sleep, we're going to pay for it with impairment in our judgment, mood, and ability to learn and retain information. We're also more at risk of serious injuries and accidents.

In this section, we walk through the steps of creating a Facebook/Instagram Ad campaign. Other topics covered are campaign structure and Ad set parameters.
Advertising takes a LOT of experimenting. This is especially the case when you don't have a pre-existing audience to build on. Facebook's Campaign structure accommodates experimentation. Your advertising is segmented into levels that allow you to track results at every level. You have your Campaigns – the first level, Ad sets – the second level, and Ads – the third level.
- Campaign – Your campaign is like your apartment building.
- Ad sets – Your Ad sets are like the apartments in your building.
- Ads – Your Ads are like the rooms in each apartment.
Running a campaign where you want to investigate whether fans of different genres would have interest in your music, you'd have to target all those genres. You'd then need a way to separate the ad results of each genre. This would be accomplished by creating multiple Ad sets for each genre.
- Ad Set #1: Hip Hop
- Ad Set #3: R&B
Creative is an advertising term used to represent your ad visuals and/or audio. It's your video, graphics, ad text, and Call to Action. Your Call to Action is usually a button with text that directs users to take an intended action like "Download" or "Buy now" etc. If you wanted to identify whether users would respond better to "Listen Now" than they would to "Download" or "Buy now", you'd create different Ads for each Call to Action.
Ad Set #1: Hip Hop
- Ad#1: Download
- Ad#2: Buy Now
- Ad#3: Listen Now
Ad Set #2: R&B
- Ad#1: Download
- Ad#2: Buy Now
- Ad#3: Listen Now
Ad Set Parameters
Custom Audiences – Advanced level targeting that allows you to advertise to users that have visited your website, taken certain actions when they visited your website like add a product to their cart, or users that engaged with your Facebook and Instagram posts.
Location – Which Countries, States, and Cities you want your ad to be shown.
Age & Gender – The age and gender of the users you'd like to target.
Detailed Targeting – This allows you to target users based on their interest identified by the pages they Like and content they engage with.
Connections – With connections you can restrict your ad to showing to users that Like your page or exclude users that Like your page.
Delivery Optimization – The goal of your advertisement.
Optimization for Ad Delivery – The objective of your ad dictates your Delivery optimization. If your goal is conversions, you optimize for conversions. If your goal is engagement, you optimize for engagement.
Bid Strategy – This is set at the Campaign level and allows you to choose how you'd like for your budget to be optimized.
When you get charged – Facebook ad cost accumulates with the number of times your ad appears. No matter what you choose to be charge for, you'll still be charged per impression.
Ad Scheduling – When you'd like for your campaign to start and end.
Budget – Split Budget

Ugh. Could going back to work be any more painful after a glorious and relaxing break? I had a wonderful vacation but 6:45 am came so early this morning.
I decided a Gingerbread Iron Woman Smoothie would be a good idea for breakfast this morning (I added some kale to it). Green smoothies that taste like cookies always make the bitter reality of going to work a little easier to swallow.
Especially when you have to get out of bed with a snuggle puppy.
