The Modern Hair Transplant
Today's modern hair transplantation is very different than the old "hair plugs" and "corn rows" of the past. Long gone are the days of doll hair looking mini-grafts and plugs that have transformed bald men into monster look-alikes. In the 21st century, surgical hair restoration must be perfect right? The "cure for baldness" we've all been waiting for since childhood is here...is it not? Today's surgical hair restoration procedures are great, but they are not a cure for male pattern baldness. Unfortunately, future hair loss treatment modalities such as "hair multiplication" and a miracle pill that magically transforms the balding scalp into a chia-pet are still years and maybe even decades away. But there is good news. Many men and women have been able to stop baldness and restore a natural, dense looking head of hair with today's modern treatments for baldness. So what are they?

Hair Transplants - A Full Head of Hair?
Today's hair transplant surgery is highly refined, very natural looking and can restore a much more youthful appearance in many men suffering from hair loss. But what about individuals with advanced levels and degrees of baldness? Can a fully bald man with no hair on the top of their scalp achieve a full head of hair? Hair transplant surgery is about the art of illusion and operates on the principle of supply and demand. In other words, the more balding an individual is experiencing, the more hair will be needed for transplanting. Regretably, donor hair (hair on the sides and back of the scalp) is limited. Sure every single follicle can be removed and transplanted on top leaving bald sides, but this isn't very practical nor is it natural looking. Thus, the goal is to move as much hair as possible while keeping and creating a full looking appearance in both the donor and recipient areas. Thus, while donor hair supply is limited, the demand for hair on top varies depending on how much hair loss an individual experiences. But what does that have to do with illusion?
Is Post-Finasteride Syndrome Real?
Men suffering from hair loss have been told for over a decade that Propecia or finasteride is the only FDA approved tablet or pill that inhibits the production of DHT, the hormone responsible for genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). But what if the potential for side effects is greater than originally anticipated? Would the possibility of long-term or even permanent sexual side effects be worth saving your precious lost follicles? Propecia is not very good at regrowing lost hair however, over 80% of Propecia consumers have been able to slow down or even stop the progression of male pattern baldness in its tracks. A small percentage of men have been able to restore lost hair which can be seen in a few magnificent looking before and after transformation pictures. Every medication comes with the possibility of side effects. Men have been told for years that a small percentage of Propecia users may experience a temporary sexual problems and a difficulty getting aroused. However, over the years, many men have come forward complaining about long-term and even permanent sexual problems even after stopping all use of Propecia. Many men believe that their impotency issues is a direct result from ever consuming finasteride. However many others believe that the fact that they took Propecia is a coincidence and that there must be some other causes of ongoing sexual issues. The FDA however, took these concerns seriously and as a result forced Merck, the manufacturers of this popular hair loss drug to change the warning labels on the medication. Despite the FDA's decision however, many hair loss doctors feel strongly that the risks of ongoing sexual side effects from Propecia have been grossly exaggerated and continue to prescribe it to their patients, in particular those who undergo today's modern hair transplant surgery.
Increasing Demand for Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Today, FUE (the acronym for Follicular Unit Extraction) has become synonymous with hair transplant surgery for many hair loss suffering men looking to restore their hair and wear it short. But despite its increasing popularity amongst young men, is follicular unit extraction hair transplant surgery all that it's hyped to be? Follicular Unit Extraction, a donor harvesting method that includes individually plucking follicular units and planting them into small recipient incisions made into balding areas has been marketed as a "scarless" procedure since its inception at the dawning of the 21st century. While FUE does eliminate the linear scar and minimize the appearance of scarring, growth yield has always been far less consistent than its counterpart known as follicular unit strip surgery or FUSS. Over the last 5 years in particular however, expert hair surgeons dedicated to improving FUE have done a great job overcoming the additional forces follicular unit extraction place on the follicles during extraction. Thus, in an experienced surgeons' hands, FUE growth yield on average almost rivals strip. That said, FUE and FUSS both have its clear advantages and disadvantages. While many patients and physicians alike have these two donor harvesting techniques competing against one another, most veteran patients and expert physicians recognize the benefit of utilizing both methods, sometimes on the same patient in order to maximize the amount of available donor hair for transplanting. This is exceptionally important for men with advanced levels of baldness.
Bald Men Are More Intelligent, Successful, and Masculine, Says Science
If your husband is worried about losing his hair, you can now let him know that his life is only going to get better. Bald men are often seen as more successful and dominant than men with lush locks, a study from 2012 found, according to Business Insider. The research says that women tend to find hairless men to be larger, stronger, and more powerful, too. This isn't exactly surprising news considering some of Hollywood's greatest hunks-Bruce Willis, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Jason Statham-happen to shine with shaved heads.The research was conducted by scientist Albert E. Mannes (surprise-he's bald), at the University of Pennsylvania. The study, which compiled information from 59 subjects, showed the participants multiple photos of men. The first photo featured a man with a full head of hair and the second one showed that same man with no hair. Most participants reported that they found the bald men to be more attractive overall.
Can L'Oreal Cure Hair Loss with 3D Printing?
Cosmetics firm L'Oreal and French bioprinting firm Poietis have announced an exclusive research partnership to develop a process of 3D printing viable hair follicles. Could this mean the end of baldness?ccording toL'Oreal's own website,The laser-assisted bioprinting technology developed by Poietis to produce biological tissue can position cells in 3D with extremely high cellular resolution (on the order of ten microns) and cellular viability (over 95%). This unique bioprinting technology involves successively layering micro-drops of bioinks using a quick scan by a laser beam. The living biological tissue created must then be matured for around 3 weeks before it can be used in tests.

5 Things You Learn When You Have a Hair Transplant
Today's modern hair transplant surgery is natural and virtually undetectable. Just like the head of hair you were born with, transplanted hair grows, requires cutting and can be styled any way you like. And while men and women suffering from hair loss may obsess about balding, hair transplant patients typically forget all about their scalps. Below, read about 5 things hair transplant patients learn after undergoing surgery. 1. Hair transplant surgery is practically pain free. Prospective hair restoration patients are often concerned about pain and experience at least some anxiety weeks and days before their procedure. But other than a few pinches during the local anesthetic, the procedure is pretty smooth sailing. 2. Patience is Important They say patience is a virtue, but nobody likes to wait. Hair transplant patients quickly learn that results from their procedure don't happen overnight. The healing phase during the first couple of months is typically the hardest part. Some mild redness, possible shock loss (temporary loss of natural hair due to trauma from surgery), etc. can sometimes have patients panicking and questioning whether or not they've made the right decision. But 12 months later, the wait is over and the result has grown in and matured.

Recently, Dr. Mohebi shared the following video demonstration of a strip surgery scar repair via FUE on our hair restoration forum.
No Propecia, No hair Transplant Surgery?
Today's hair transplants are great and are the only proven and effective method of growing hair in completely bald areas. However, surgical hair restoration does nothing to stop the progression of female or male pattern baldness. But why do some surgeons refuse to perform surgery on hair loss suffering men unless they use Propecia and have been on it for at least a year? Propecia (finasteride)is the most effective and only antiandrogen (DHT blocker) proven to stop hair loss. Young men with minimal hair loss may be at great risk of advanced balding in the future. Doing nothing to stop its progression while implanting hair to thinning areas or bald spots may leave men with unnatural looking hair patterns or "patches" of transplanted hair. Many hair transplant surgeons won't even consider transplanting young patients with a severe family history of baldness. However, others may simply provide a warning and proceed with surgery under "informed consent". This is when patients have been fully informed of all the risks associated with surgery and choose to have the procedure done despite them. Written documentation and a formal signature is typically required by physicians before they will proceed with surgery.

Modern Hair Transplant Surgery Dos and Dont's
Today's modern hair transplant surgery is great, especially if you've done your homework and selected an outstanding physician. However, even in the modern world, perfection doesn't exist and less than optimal results can occur. The good news is however, there is something you can do to reduce the risks associated with hair transplant surgery. While a hair transplant is considered a simple outpatient procedure it's still surgery and it takes literally all day. Most patients come in around the same time the sun is rising and leave at dawn. The procedure, when done right may be "simple" for expert hair restoration physicians, but it is a time consuming and tedious process regardless. Thus, it's important to plan ahead and prepare yourself for an entire day in the surgical chair. It's also important to plan for at least a week or two of healing time. This means downtime and potentially using some vacation time at work. Moreover, getting all the information about the procedure, whether or not shaving is required of the donor and recpient area and planning to look a little "off" while your hair transplant heals is crucial. Many people have concerns about people at working knowing something changed. While most people like the positive attention when the hair transplant results grow in a year after surgery, many are concerned about the strange looks they may get if they haven't properly prepared to conceal their surgery from their co-workers the first couple of weeks out of surgery. Wearing a hat or a bandana may be a possibility for some or even topical concealer after 5 to 7 days may be an effective way of hiding surgery.
Does a NeoGraft Hair Transplant Produce Natural Looking Results?
The thing about NeoGraft is that it's just a tool. Some leading hair transplant surgeons have argued that the mechanisms by which it extracts follicular unit grafts is inherently damaging to them,. Whether or not that is true, at the end of the day, it can only be as good as the person wielding it. Unfortunately, this particular FUE tool has been heavily marketed to neophytes looking to start a turnkey hair restoration practice. It seems that in many cases, NeoGraft assisted hair transplants are performed by traveling teams of technicians supervised by a licensed doctor. While the prices I've seen quoted online are generally much cheaper than the average cost of follicular unit extraction in the US, it is possible to get follicular unit extraction performed by a world class hair transplant surgeon for nearly the same cost. Even more affordable if you're willing to travel abroad.
How Many Grafts per Square CM Are Required for Good Hair Transplant Density?
Achieving a 50% density level of original scalp density is a good goal to start with. It's been said that achieving 50% density will provide a good basis to support the illusion of coverage. Obviously in some cases a little more and in others with outstanding hair characteristics, a little less. So the bottom line is that it will vary between individuals, depending on the degree of hair loss and their individual hair characteristics.
When Is It Safe to Walk or Run after Hair Transplant Surgery?
Opinions vary on exercise after hair transplant surgery and it's always best to follow the advice of your hair restoration physician . With follicular unit strip surgery, the main concern is not to put stress on the donor scar. You need to avoid touching your chin to your chest or otherwise stressing the donor area for the first few months in order to avoid scar stretching. Barring that, it's generally considered ok to engage in mild physical activity like walking after the first couple of days. I'm a fan of erring on the side of caution and personally feel it's best to wait a full two weeks before working up a sweat. Here's a detailed response to a similar question by Coalition Hair Restoration Physician Dr. Paul Shapiro published on our Hair Loss Q&A Blog that you might find useful.
Laser Cap Restores Hair
Skeptical about all of those hair regrowth products and treatments? You're not alone. One women was about to give up and buy a wig. Then, she met a doctor who turned everything around with a novel treatment. For years, Joan Chabrowe's thinning hair made her self-conscious. She visited many doctor's offices and tried lots of things. "I was trying orally, topically, electronically, all the methods that I could," Chabrowe said. Chabrowe almost gave up, even after hearing about the LaserCap at Bauman Medical Group. Like others, she thought it was a gimmick. The LaserCap was the real deal. Like its name, it's a hat with lasers, worn for 30 minutes, every other day. It carries a hefty price tag of $3,000, but Chabrowe said it's worth it. "It increases energy production. It increases blood flow and you're going to get thicker, stronger, healthier hair over time," explained Alan J. Bauman, M.D., a hair transplant surgeon in Boca Raton, Florida. Bauman said before trying anything, it's important to really look into who is treating you and what their experience in hair restoration is. "Find someone who does this every single day of the week," said Bauman. Now, looking at before and after pictures, Chabrowe is resting easy on a full head of hair. "I am not embarrassed about bald patches or terribly thinning hair and if it's for a special occasion, I'm able to get it blown out in a salon and it looks terrific," detailed Chabrowe. Bauman said it's important to make sure your doctor is a member of a credentialed organization, like the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. ...
"Movember" movement raises awareness for men's health
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Men around the world, including in Bay County and in the NewsChannel 7 studio, will grow out their whiskers next month for a good cause. "It's a combination of the two words, 'mustache' and 'November,'" Dr. Carlos Ramos said. You may know it as "No Shave November" or "Movember," but you may not be familiar with what the movement stands for. "It's intended to raise awareness for men's health issues, especially prostate cancer awareness, but other cancers too," Dr. Ramos explained. Prostate and testicular cancers, mental health, and suicide, are all factors the Movember Foundation says contribute to our dads, brothers, friends, and loved ones dying too young. "It's very important they're involved in their own care," Dr. Ramos said. Enter the "Movember" movement. Men and women at the Panama City Urological Center are getting on board. At NewsChannel 7, our own meteorologist Ryan Michaels is joining in as well. Ryan also grew out the beard in November 2014. "I've never actually gotten to see exactly the extent of where this would go, let alone I was very disappointed when I found out," Ryan joked about last year's attempt.
L'Oreal may have just come up with a way to help people who are losing their hair
The INSIDER Summary: • L'Oreal paired with a bioprinting startup in France. • Together, the companies hope to print synthetic hair follicles. • The goal is to eventually implant bioprinted follicles on a balding person. Last week, cosmetics giant L'Oreal announced a partnership with France-based bioprinting startup Poietis. Together, the two hope to print synthetic hair follicles that can first conquer the lab, then your head. All you need to bioprint a hair follicle is bioink, a laser, and some time. The laser forces tiny drops of bioink made up of living cells in very specific positions on a substrate, then layers it to create a structure. Over the next few weeks, the cells mature into hair follicle cells, becoming viable outside a petri dish (the company calls its process "4D bioprinting" — this maturation time is the fourth dimension). This process isn't as straightforward as it may seem; several organisations have tried to bioprint hair follicles and failed, according to a press video from L'Oreal. Hair follicles contain 15 different types of cells that must cyclically grow new hair, and the average human head has about 150,000 of them.
L'Oréal and Poietis sign an exclusive research partnership to develop bioprinting of hair
Clichy, 28 September 2016 - L'Oréal has been committed to tissue engineering for almost 30 years and holds unique knowledge and expertise in the field of hair biology. With this exclusive research partnership, L'Oréal and Poietis are giving themselves the means to pursue a new scientific challenge: bioprinting a hair follicle, the small organ that produces hair, using a bioprinter. This research partnership offers exciting perspectives at a time when conventional tissue engineering technologies remain limited in terms of the complexity of cell patterns. The laser-assisted bioprinting technology developed by Poietis to produce biological tissue can position cells in 3D with extremely high cellular resolution (on the order of ten microns) and cellular viability (over 95%). This unique bioprinting technology involves successively layering micro-drops of bioinks using a quick scan by a laser beam. The living biological tissue created must then be matured for around 3 weeks before it can be used in tests. The combination of this exclusive technology with L'Oréal's unique expertise in hair biology could ...

If you're a top cellist at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, you're probably in a gang. A cello gang, that is. Amit Peled calls the students in his studio the Peabody Cello Gang, and they have a new album.
The album has three very different pieces performed by many different members of the Gang. The centerpiece of the new album is a live performance of David Popper's Requiem featuring a total of nineteen cellists.
Another piece on the album is Franz Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata. (The arpeggione was a bowed and fretted instrument popular in the early 19th century. Schubert's sonata for it is usually played on the cello today.) This world premiere arrangement is for cello quartet, featuring Amit Peled on the melody and three student cellists performing the piano part.

Beatrix Potter – Mycologist and Lichen Researcher
Beatrix Potter, Mycologist: The Beloved Children's Book Author's Little-Known Scientific Studies and Illustrations of Mushrooms
Excerpt from Maria Popova, Brain Pickings:
By her early twenties, Potter had developed a keen interest in mycology and began producing incredibly beautiful drawings of fungi, collecting mushroom specimens herself and mounting them for careful observation under the microscope. In the winter months, she frequented London's Natural History Museum to study their displays. Linda Lear, author of Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature writes:
"Beatrix's interest in drawing and painting mushrooms, or fungi, began as a passion for painting beautiful specimens wherever she found them. She never saw art and science as mutually exclusive activities, but recorded what she saw in nature primarily to evoke an aesthetic response. She was drawn to fungi first by their ephemeral fairy qualities and then by the variety of their shape and colour and the challenge they posed to watercolour techniques. Unlike insects or shells or even fossils, fungi also guaranteed an autumn foray into fields and forests, where she could go in her pony cart without being encumbered by family or heavy equipment."
There is also something quite poetic about Potter's obsession with fungi — in her later children's books, she bridged real life and fantasy by transmuting the animals and plants she observed in nature into whimsical characters and stories, and mushrooms have long symbolized this very transmutation, perhaps most prominently in Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, which first captured the popular imagination the year Potter was born.
But her interest went far beyond the mere aesthetics or symbolism of mushrooms — she was studious about their taxonomy, taught herself the proper technique for accurate botanical illustration, and worked tirelessly to get an introduction to the eminent mycologist Charles McIntosh. With his help and encouragement, she continued advancing her microscopic observations, which kindled in her an intense fascination with how mushrooms reproduced — something poorly understood at the time. Potter soon began conducting her own experiments with spores she had germinated herself. She was particularly captivated by lichens, considered at the time the "poor peasants of the plant world," in the words of the great botanist Linnaeus — a statement itself belying the dearth of scientific understanding at the time, for lichens are not plants but a hybrid of fungi and algae. more
Mycorrhizal Fungus: Lichen's Cousins
We may be hearing a lot more in the future about mycorrhizal fungus. This site is an ongoing story about lichen, and officially, mycorrhizal fungi are not really 'cousins' of lichens. But cousins are often the most numerous relatives we have, so I use that term to foster awareness that the fungus Kingdom is varied and vast. Sometimes getting to know one member of a family entails getting to know other members of the family one had not planned on meeting, or even knew existed. At the party called Daily Life on Earth, meeting all the relatives is part of the fun.
I met a mycorrhizal fungus last fall, on a dead tree trunk at the end of the Wintergreen Trail. I believe it is hyphae but do not know the fungus species. If anyone reading this knows, please post your ideas! Even deceased, it was an impressive presence. Long dark threads hung from the leaning tree trunk where the dry bark had separated from the inner wood. The threads formed a complex web several feet long, dangling in the air. The strands were so strong I could not break them by hand. There was yards and yards of this fibrous material. It seemed to have covered most of the surface of the tree trunk, under the bark.
Fiber strings from under tree bark
The picture is blurry, but the very dark strings and dark bark had no noticeable detail, so the picture is close to what I saw. The extent of the fiber mass was impressive.
Why am I talking about this mat of dark threads? Because I was exploring the NASA Global Climate Change site and found a story on mapping the mycorrhizae locations in forests, by mycorrhizae species. Read the story for why NASA is doing this; it's interesting. There are two mycorrhizal species and trees use one or the other. The forests are regulated by the signals the mycorrhizae send through the trees. They work with other plants too. Scientists think this is important enough to make maps of where each species is in the forest, in relation to the tree species, and they are doing so by satellite images. So that old adage "you can't see the forest for the trees" is true for us in a much deeper way than we ever understood before. The trees are one part of a vast and complex web of living beings, all talking to each other and cooperating to regulate themselves and their environment. Once we lift the curtain of our preconceptions, amazing things start to show up everywhere. If we only see trees, birds and some flowers, we are missing the major part of the forest. There is far more diversity and number of living beings in and under the soil than above it, and as much metabolic function occurs on and in the ground as above. The Small Ones may be at least as interesting as the large plants and animals we easily recognize.
After reading the article and thinking again about the mycorrhizae, I wonder about the relationships between fungus that don't make lichen and those that do; between the chemistry created by one group of trees and fungus, and the signals of moisture, temperature, nutrients and more that may be allowing or encouraging certain other living beings to take up residence nearby. We know so little about the extensive activity going on just underground. What similar actions may the lichen be doing? After bacteria, they are the original homesteaders, setting up the terrain to be hospitable to the first mosses and vascular plants. Lichen are very good at getting along with other life forms and have made a place for themselves everywhere on earth. Maybe they have something to tell us about their part in regulating the forest, beyond their original activity of creating soil and available nutrients from rock and wood and air.
So, no lichen pictures today, just questions about this green and shining world we share with unknown others.
Check this blog again soon, for information on our first KVR lichen survey route.

Submission of the Year – Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson's suplex-to-armbar finish of Ray Borg (UFC 216)
2017 really was a mighty year for Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson.
Is there really anything this man cannot do? Mighty Mouse has been fighting as the UFC flyweight champion since 2012, and with each fight, he finds new and exciting ways to win. He holds multiple records, including one that can only be tied but never broken: the bout in which he submitted current Rizin bantamweight champion Kyoji Horiguchi with just one second remaining in the fifth round. Mighty Mouse went on to cruise past John Dodson in their rematch, crush Henry Cejudo in the first round, have an exciting bout with Tim Elliott. All of that happened in just two years.
2017 proved to be one for the record books. In April, Johnson defended his UFC title for the 10th time when he submitted Wilson Reis in the third round. The man only needed one more to break the seemingly unbreakable record. That chance came for him at UFC 216 against the "Tazmexican Devil" himself, Ray Borg.
Johnson put on yet another impressive performance and seemed to be cruising his way to a clear-cut decision. But that wasn't good enough for Johnson. Instead, in what can only be described as one of the most beautiful maneuvers ever displayed inside the Octagon, Johnson suplexed Borg and transitioned into an armbar before Borg even hit the ground. The challenger put up a valiant effort, but he was forced to tap. Johnson wasn't going to settle for just another win. He wanted something more memorable than simply another title defense, and he did not disappoint. His work of art was the clear selection for the Combat Press "Submission of the Year."
Fun fact: Johnson now has three fifth-round finishes in title fights. That's another record that will be incredibly difficult to top.
Other finalists: Oleksei Oleinik's Ezekiel choke of Viktor Pesta (UFC Fight Night 103), Brian Ortega's guillotine choke of Cub Swanson (UFC Fight Night 123)

The twelve hours before the race is the most important period, what you put in your body with this window of time will still be there when the race starts. If you put the right things in your body, the effect will be positive, and you will perform much better than you would if you failed too.
The two fundamental principles of effective pre-race are familiarity and control nutrition. Control is about knowing exactly what you should and should not do nutritionally in the final 12 hours. Familiarity is about making a well-rehearsed routine of your pre-race fueling.
Dinner its completing the job of carb loading that started either that morning or two days earlier (10 g/kg carb or 70% carbs for the latter case). The meal should be high in carbohydrates, low in protein, fat and fiber.
Note: Don't over eat for the sake of getting in a few extra grams of carbs because this may increase your chances of sleeping poorly or having bathroom issues the next morning. Also avoid late dinner to avoid indigestible materials in the meal the following morning. Six am is the best time for pre-race meal.
Sleep. Eight hours the night before the rate, if you couldn't because you're nervous, eight hours the night before will compensate, but make sure you slept them.
Breakfast. The sole purpose of this meal is to top off your body's carbohydrate supplies. The ideal breakfast is one that is easy to prepare, eat and digest, as well as high in carbohydrate and low in protein, fat and fiber. Eat your breakfast four to two hours before the start of your race. by all means, eat a high carb breakfast if you can, but if you can't, don't assume you're running with a major disadvantage.
Prerace hydration. Twelve to 16 ounces of fluid should be consumed between the time you wake up and one hour before the start of the race. if you urinate at least once after your initial visit to the bathroom upon waking up, consider your mission accomplished. You can hydrate by drinking water, juice, a sport drink, or some sort of liquid meal.
Note: Avoid caffeinated drinks, because they're diuretic. Beet juice increase vasodilation and blood flow and reduce the oxygen cost of exercise so I recommend it. Slushies' are good for hydration in hot weather as it lowers core body temperature and perceived heat stress (drink it close to the race time).

Mental fitness is a collection of coping skills, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that helps athletes to master the discomfort and stress of the athletic experience by increasing tolerance for perceived effort and by reducing the amount of effort at any exercise intensity.
In a race, the job of the muscles is to perform. The job of the mind is to cope, but the muscles can only perform to the degree that the mind is able to cope. Therefore, endurance sports are a game of "mind over muscles". The only way to become really good at coping with the discomforts and stresses of endurance sports is to experience them.
Brace yourself and do not lose your appreciation for how intense the suffering felt in races. The more discomfort you expect, the more you can tolerate, and the more discomfort you can tolerate, the faster you can go.
Setting time have an effect on endurance performance. You should set a timing goal that seem reachable, but barely so.
Letting go, the flow state where you become the thing you are doing. Where your focus is directed externally from the task at the hand, which distracts you from your suffering, allowing you to push harder and perform exceptionally.
Workaround effect, when the body loses the ability to achieve a desired level of performance in an accustomed way, the brain responds by seeking out new ways to get the same level of performance out of the body. This effect allows athletes to gain mental and physical fitness after first losing it through adaptability. Embrace your setbacks; they are either injuries or sickness!
Resilience is a quality that keeps a person engaged in challenging situations long enough to develop a coping skill and it grows out of failure and encountered adversities. Transform failure into resilience and use it as a motivator, albeit a dark motivator tinged with anger.
Listen to yourself, have faith in yourself and your coach and just believe. Do not keep looking for more and be confident.
The group effect. When athletes and runners train or race together, their brains release greater amounts of mood-lifting, discomfort-suppressing endorphins, and they perceive less effort and perform better than they do alone. So, when a sport culture is vibrant, comprising many groups of highly motivated athletes, behavioral synchrony achieves maximum intensity and effectiveness.
The audience effect not only motivate and make athletes try harder, but also makes them feel capable of trying harder. A runner can perform better in New York city marathon than he would in a smaller marathon with sparser spectator support. So, choose your race selectively, seed the crowd with family and friends and even cultivate a social media "fan" base.
Also experiencing success in performance of a given task enhances subsequent performance in the same task by increasing self-efficacy, or perceived competence. In addition, high expectations for improvement and success are among the more powerful coping skills an endurance athlete can possess.
Having a strong passion for an activity and being positive preserves endurance performance by decelerating the physical aging process. If your passion endures, so will you.
Find your motivation.
We are all different and each of as may adapt different copping skill. How bad you want it? Train your mind!
How Bad You Want It? Mastering The Psychology Of Mind Over Muscles, Matt Fitzgerald
19 Apr 2018
Exercise-induced muscle cramps are brought on by a special kind of fatigue, where cramps always occur in working muscles instead of passive muscles, moreover muscle cramping almost always occurs in races, seldom in training. Coupled with certain physiological evidence, it is suggested that cramping is an abnormal neurological response to extreme muscle fatigue. When a given muscle is subjected to unaccustomed extremity of exertion, the nerves controlling that muscle may freak out, causing spasm.
What is the solution?
* Preceding each race with one or two very hard workouts that simulate the level of exertion of the race as close as possible.
* By patiently accumulating race experience.

Reducing the training load at least 50% compared to the previous week, tapering. This can be done at least one week from the race if the last week trainingg only 20 to 40 miles (two weeks if its 41 to 80 miles).
Tapering allows your body to fully absorb and recover from previous hard training, increase glycogen storage, blood volume, and neuromuscular power.
Note that that tapering doesn't mean easy training, its include reduced high intensity (goal race pace or faster) training compared to last week peak training.
Nutrition during taper period includes four steps
1- Reduce your calories intake so you don't gain weight as a result of tapering, star this with the tapering.
2- Fat loading or switch to 65% fat diet for 10 days if your initial three-day fat loading test goes well, you are confident that you do that, your upcoming race more than 2 hours and you are tapering more than 2 weeks. Otherwise start a compressed, five-day fat loading period six days before competition if you're tapering only one week, and your race will be more than 2 hours. Lastly you can cancel this step if the conditions do not apply and you're not comfortable with idea.
This step increase reliance on fat and decrease reliance on glycogen as exercise fuel.
Fat sources are avocados, cheese, Greek yogurt, nuts, and olives.
3- Remove all the caffeine from your diet one week before race day if you normally consume caffeine daily in small to moderate amounts for the sake of performance enhancement.
4- Carbohydrate load. If you choose to fat load for 10 days, then switch to a diet that supplies 70% carbs for the last three days before the race. If your fat load for 5 days, eat 10g/kg carb on the day before the race. You can choose any method if you didn't fat load. You can skip this step if your race less than 2 hours.

Quick start is regaining lost fitness and losing the weight you gained during your break.
Remember it is not possible to maximize fat loss and fitness gains simultaneously.
How long? The duration of the Quick start is determined by how much weight you need to lose. (10 pounds may take 4 weeks)
1- Create a moderate calorie deficit:
Weight GOAL
Within 10 pounds
300 calories
Between 10 to 20
400 calories
More than 20
500 calories
2- Increase protein intake: reduces the spike in hunger that typically comes with eating less and increases the proportion of total weight loss that comes from body fat and reduces the amount of muscle mass that is lost.
3-Lift weights: you should strength train more than at other times because it will give you a more solid musculoskeletal foundation to take into the next training cycle and it will help you to retain muscle and shed only unwanted body fat. (3 times per week minimum)
4- Do fasting workouts: Do a long moderate intensity fasting run once every week. This entails to withhold carbs during the run to increase body's fat burning capacity which results in shedding excess body fat.
5- Do very short high intensity intervals: it consists of large numbers of intervals lasting 10 to 30 seconds each and performed at or near maximum intensity.
It is a good time to start such training because the resulting gains in raw speed and power will enable you to perform all your subsequent training at a high level and you will not be able to focus on speed and power development at any later time, as more specific types of training prioritized.
Note: Be aware that sprinting on a level ground is very stressful on the muscles and tendons so you can get the strength, speed, power and fat loss benefits from maximum intensity running with less chance of injury if you sprint uphill instead.

Glorious blue skies welcomed us to Latitude this Sunday as we collected our day tickets to the festival. Having been to the event most years since it began in 2006, I think this is the hottest weekend I can remember.
Beginning our day in the shade of the woods where art installations, the Sunrise Arena and the Lavish Big Screen drew our attention, we wandered through the trees enjoying the visual delights as well as listening to the sounds from the stages working their way towards us.
After a stroll across the bridge taking in the classic Latitude sign, pink sheep and the new edition of the Fat Face store (where festival t-shirts were being snapped up for a fiver on the last day – bargain mementos!), we headed to the Comedy tent for a pint and a sit down.
Catching the beginning of Mark Watson's set, the self-deprecating comedian had brought along his little boy to watch as he did the Sunday lunchtime slot. Not the easiest of tasks when people are extremely hung-over from three nights of partying, sleeping in tents, not-showering properly and eating a random selection of festival food. Despite this he made the crowd roar with laughter, keeping the tent full till the end.
Next up was Stuart Goldsmith, an observational comic who regaled us about life as a parent and how his partner had a 'tactical baby' to end their long-distance relationship. Running a podcast called 'The Comedian's Comedian', his set certainly prompted me to make a mental note to check it out on iTunes.
Daniel Sloss, a young comedian from Scotland, came onto the stage next with a confident, and at times, controversial set. Telling a joke that caused the majority of an audience in Indianapolis to walk out, his style of comedy fared much better at liberal Latitude. With a style that was half Russell Howard and half Frankie Boyle, my friend and I agreed we should go and watch one of his full gigs.
Unfortunately missing the special guest appearance from Ed Sheeran with Foy Vance in the BBC6 Music Tent, we had a text too late from a friend and he'd already left the stage by the time we managed to run over.
Heading over to the Obelisk Arena we caught the tail end of the melodic tunes from Michael Kiwanuka before Laura Mvula arrived for a very summery Sunday set. Her soulful voice and soaring sound from her band (that included her sister and brother) was just what any festival needs come the Sunday afternoon. Her inspiring lyrics often focus on female empowerment and independence, and her stage presence is bold, wonderful and far from revealing the anxiety that reportedly often cripples her. Her hit 'Green Garden' was the ideal festival song, upbeat and ready to get your body swaying in the heat; the crowd loved it.
Ending her set with 'Phenomenal Woman', her joy at singing the lyrics, 'Oh my my, oh my, she flies' was palatable, the music jumping off the stage making you want to put your hands in the air along with her.
After she had left the stage we headed to get some food before watching Bill Bailey. One of the great things about Latitude is the wide variety of food stalls, from Mexican to Spanish, classic British to Indian, all styles of cuisine are on sale, including lots of vegetarian and vegan stands (a fact that the comedians like to pick up on every year – for example Ross Noble's famous conga to the vegan stall to shout 'sausage rolls' in 2008).
This year the Blixen Restaurant, from London's Old Spitalfield's Market returned for a unique dining experience at the festival. With rotating menus full of fresh, modern and clean flavours with a slice of indulgence, the area then turns into an arena for DJs in the evening.
Bill Bailey headlined the comedy tent this year, which was packed full to the rafters, everyone needing to stand in the usually seated tent. A talented musician and comedian, his set was topical, discussing his annoyance with the Brexit vote, the current political disarray and, of course, going off on random tangents with songs that make you giggle uncontrollably. Finishing the gig playing classic rock tunes on cowbells, Bailey is as eccentric and brilliant as usual.
Taking the opportunity to explore more of the site, we wandered through the Faraway Forest to catch some theatre and view the art installations. We also visited the SOLAS area, a woodland escape, much needed on a Sunday, focusing on healing, yoga and relaxation with slow-mo visuals, folk and electronic musicians and a variety of workshops.
Obelisk Arena headliner's New Order closed the festival with a part nostalgic, part contemporary act. Beginning with tracks from their new album, 'Music Complete,' the night really got into the swing of things with classics 'True Faith' and 'Temptation.' The encore of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' brought the crowd together to remember where it all began, with Ian, Joy Division and Manchester.
Until next year Latitude!

Updated Shimaa Abdelfadeel and Hebba Aref, the two Muslim women who were asked not to sit where they could be photographed behind Senator Barack Obama because they were wearing traditional religious head coverings, received a call from the candidate himself today to follow up on his campaign's initial apology. They released a statement about it to The New York Times:
At the rally for Senator Obama in Detroit on Monday, June 16, two volunteers denied us seating behind the stage the Senator would soon take. The volunteers informed us that we were not allowed to sit in that area due to the hijab, the headscarf that each of us was wearing.
This incident was unfortunate and extremely disappointing. Senator Obama has called us each to personally convey his deepest apologies and acknowledge that this was inexcusable. We both immensely appreciate the Senator's phone call and his commitment to remedy this issue. We commend him for displaying qualities befitting an effective President. We acknowledge that this injustice has been taken seriously and that Senator Obama does not tolerate discrimination against Arabs, Muslims or any community. We are assured that he and his staff are committed to upholding the principles of justice for all peoples and bringing about change we can believe in. The infringement on our rights occurred and has been addressed; now we are ready to move forward. We will continue to support Senator Obama in his campaign and wish him the best as the race continues.
Shimaa Abdelfadeel
Hebba Aref
Update: Mr. Obama's released the following statement:
I reached out to Ms. Aref and Ms. Abdelfadeel this afternoon. I spoke with Ms. Abdelfadeel, and expressed my deepest apologies for the incident that occurred with volunteers at the event in Detroit. The actions of these volunteers were unacceptable and in no way reflect any policy of my campaign. I take deepest offense to and will continue to fight against discrimination against people of any religious group or background. Our campaign is about bringing people together, and I'm grateful that Ms. Abdelfadeel accepted our apology and I hope Ms. Aref and any who were offended accept my apology as well.
