Genistein (soy isoflavon) has a recognised activity on vasomotor symptoms;
Agnus castus is active on flushing and on psychological symptoms;
Hawthorn is active on psychoaffective symptoms, particularly anxiety, irritability and mood;
Vitamin D3 and Calcium favour the trophism and the mineralisation of osseous tissue.
CLIMAVIT® exploits the synergy of Genistein, Vitex Agnus Castus and Hawthorn to help hot flushing and nocturnal sweating mitigation as well as night time sleep quality.
The menopause is the physiologic situation which establishes in the woman aged around 50 years and that is due to the reduced production of oestrogen hormones.
At the beginning, the oestrogen deficiency causes the onset of symptoms such flushing, nocturnal sweating, palpitations, insomnia, irritability, anxiety and mood alterations, vaginal dryness, and progressively a loss of minerals constituting bones with risk of osteoporosis, atrophy of genito-urinary tissues and skin aging.
The climacteric symptoms should be considered not only as troubles limited to a worse quality of life, but also as osteoporotic and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cerebral deterioration. In fact, the most severe flushing are correlated with quick osseous loss and osteoporosis, poorest verbal memory, low levels of plasmatic antioxidant activity, increased CV reactivity to stress, altered flow mediated dilation, systolic blood pressure.
Furthermore, vasomotor symptoms (flushing and nocturnal sweating) are associated to an increased risk of coronary heart diseases, that cannot be totally explained by the levels of the CV risk factors.(4)
CLIMAVIT® balances the hormonal deficiencies of the menopause and peri-menopause, it can be used in opposing the typical vasomotor troubles of the menopause, it is adaptogenic against psychic and physical stress, it controls the anxious symptoms and depressed mood and it improves the quality of sleep, as integration of an adequate and varied diet.
CLIMAVIT® is a food supplement, available as orally disintegrating granules (in stick) and soluble granules (in sachet), for the wellness of the woman in menopause and in case of increased need of minerals or decreased intake with the diet.
1 sachet or stick per day is recommended
The odg should be dissolved directly in the mouth.
The soluble granules should be dissolved in a glass of water.

Efficacy and safety of CLIMAVIT® have been under evaluation in a preliminary, observational, clinical study, in which menopause women presenting more than 5 moderate flushing per day concomitantly with an anxious state or sleep disorders, not so severe to require pharmacologic therapy, were recruited.
The women on treatment with hormonal replacement therapy or other products taken for the relief of symptoms under evaluation, were excluded [De Leo et al. 2017].
CLIMAVIT® administered orally at the dose of 1 sachet/day for at least 12 weeks. At baseline, after 6 and 12 weeks from start of the treatment, the Kupperman Index is calculated considering the severity of flusing, nocturnal sweating, insomnia, irritability, depressed mood or melancholia, dizziness, fatigue, muscular and articular pain, headache, palpitations and paresthesias.
Vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, anxiety and libido loss are determined at start and the end of the treatment.

Japanese Sensation Shohei Ohtani recently signed with the Los Angeles Angels, but the "Babe Ruth" of Japan may have already done damage with his new ball club. According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, Ohtani has an elbow injury that could seriously impact his future and the Angels' plans for him.
Ohtani has been diagnosed with a first degree UCL sprain in his right elbow after a physical with the Angels. Ohtani is a right handed pitcher, meaning this could impact his future long term if he continues pitching. Passan says that Ohtani underwent a platelet-rich plasma shot in October in terms of hopefully allowing the elbow to heal correctly. while this not the worst of UCL injuries, this is can be a potential devastating injury that could force Ohtani to go under the knife for Tommy John Surgery. This kind of surgery for pitchers, forces them to sit out at least a year without throwing.
Coming out of the surgery, the chances of pitching the same is out the window. Sure, pitchers can be better from it. Here's how I see this, when any player goes under the knife, they come out a different ballplayer. You are not returning to same player that you were before. Surgery affects the way how ballplayers play. I always think having surgery in specific areas always limits how you move. Tommy John surgery, in my opinion, can be really hard to recover from. I have seen major league pitchers go through 2 TJ surgeries, sometimes 3. Reason players go through it is because they want to continue to play baseball. Players are just not the same.
For example, look at Hong Chih Kuo, a former Los Angeles Dodgers reliever, he had the surgery FOUR times! He was a decent pitcher for LA, but going under the knife four times, he just wouldn't be as affective as he was the first time before he underwent the surgery. Now free agent, Yu Darvish, underwent the surgery in 2015. One of the most dominating pitchers from Japan had surgery and he just wasn't the same since. It led to the point where Darvish was thought to be tipping pitches in the World Series 2017, but most was not able to execute his pitch location, according to an unnamed Houston Astro. Point is, Ohtani is in danger of undergoing the surgery if his elbow isn't proper taken care of in his first year in the MLB.
Ohtani put the Angels in a tough position. The Halos had big plans for him. They had plans to have Ohtani be a top two pitcher in the starting rotation while hitting in the lineup as a designated hitter on days that he doesn't pitch. With this injury, there is possibility that Ohtani needs to rest his arm and save it for almost up to the end of the season, perhaps going into the beginning of the 2019 season. The Angels don't need to go through what I call, a Blake Griffin situation. What I mean by that, is Griffin was drafted number one in the draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, then gets injured and is out for the year. Griffin was fine the next couple seasons, but this year, he got injured on an Austin Rivers fall to his legs on a loose ball. It was bad. Griffin is becoming very fragile. Sure, it's different injuries in different sports, but the idea of injuries is there. The Angels don't need to be a rebuild situation at this point while they have the best player on the planet in outfielder Mike Trout.
Ohtani needs to be taken care of properly or else they fall into a situation where the Angels need to be careful how Ohtani moves on the field. Despite being on an affordable contract, the Angels are forced to keep a close eye on their prized free agent rookie for however many years they have with him, unfortunately.
What options do you think the Angels should move forward with? Take of care of Ohtani and let him miss most of the season or let him pitch this season? We want to know your thoughts on Ohtani's situation by tweeting to @TheUtilityMan17 on Twitter!

Under suspicion
In other chicken news, remember this pretty Easter Egger? She went down the hill when she stopped laying last year to live in happy retirement with some people we know. We got hay from those folks on Sunday, and I asked about Ebony. She's gone broody! Nancy said she's quite aggressive about it, too, "growling" at anyone, fowl or human, who comes near her nest. None of our chickens have ever gone broody here - but then again, we don't have a rooster, so what would be the point?
This morning Rick and Brian took off with the pick-up and camper to spend a couple days at Cowboy Campmeeting, sans horses (Rick has to be back for emergency duty over the holiday weekend). Brian was dancing jigs he was so happy to be going camping with dad, and I'm just as happy to stay here and hold down the fort. Of course I have a to-do list while they're gone, but there's some fun stuff on the list - like prepping for Le Tour de Fleece (a spinning 'event' on Ravelry that corresponds with the Tour de France). It starts Saturday, and I'm on four 'teams' - Team Footloose (for Hansen miniSpinner owners), Team Spindlers (for those spinning on spindles of any kind), Team Corgi (for those spinning fibers purchased from Corgi Hill Farm), and Team My Favorite Sheep (started by blogpal Sara for 'anyone who has a favorite sheep, wishes they had a favorite sheep or didn't even know you could have a favorite sheep'). I plan to spin on either or both my mS and my Jenkins spindles every day, spinning up the Corgi Hill fibers I bought for Taygete, and some as yet to be determined roving from one or more of my own sheep. I'm thinking of spinning either a grey (from Rechel or Bella) or black (from Blackberry or Inky) for yet another of Romi's shawls; I tell you, those things are like potato chips!
Off to work on my list at . . .

My list is so large, I just rather not even consult any longer. (grin) Have fun, sounds like a great time.
- MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...
Hello dear Michelle! Thank you for your comment...blogger sure is a stinker these days.
Your farm looks so pastoral...love the hens and sheep. Teo egg omelette picture sure did make me smile!
Blessings to all of you this holiday weekend...Karla at the cozy cottage
- Franna said...
Oh, precious "me" time! Even with a to-do list, me time is to be cherished. Le Tour! I'd almost forgotten about it. Oh, to pick a project!
You probably don't have any broody hens because you pick up eggs regularly. They don't care if there's a rooster around, just eggs. Occasionally, one will go broody with just one egg, but it usually takes more than one.
Good progress with the sheepies! How's Cadbury doing?
Ohhhhhhhh, I have the fabulous roving from Jamieson & Smith! Except I ordered the superfine white and it's backordered - boo hiss! I wanted to make some batts blending the white with the black and the moorit for some gradual color changes. Saturday, eh?
- ~~Sittin.n.Spinnin said...
Ohhh I love that shawl!
Sorry about Luciel, we had to do away with an egg eater years ago when we first moved out here, they wont ever quit :(
going to go look into the 'Tour'.
Well, Blake's fleece is my Tour de Fleece project. I have a little over 2lbs of lovely soft washed fleece which will become a shawl. I am trying to decide whether to hand card or drum card it and I want to practice my woolen long draw. So much fun and a good challenge for myself. Give Blake a scritch from me.
- Michelle said...
I hear you, Kelly - but it feels so good to be able to cross things off! ;-)
Blessings to you, too, Karla. Is Ms. Peach doing okay?
Franna, Cadbury is doing well. I caught him yesterday for the first time since he arrived, and once caught he was quite calm. I was showing off to my farrier/shearer how very soft and fine Cadbury is. When he comes back on July 18, he's going to bring his shearers for the Kimberwood sheep.
Becky, Romi creates such wonderful designs!
Victoria, so glad you commented! I do hope you send me a report and a photo once you spin Blake's lovely fleece. I'll scritch him under the chin for you tonight. :-)
- Laura said...
You could get a dozen eggs from someone who doe have a rooster to put under her. Then she'll be happy! We have a broody who hatched out 4.
- Mary Ann said...
We still have an egg-eater here... but I have not caught her in the act lately. I should have offered her for dinner to someone who asked lately, but she is my last daughter of my favorite old rooster who has died, so she stays. She'll be scolded if I catch her again!

As a child/ teenager, my family would spend a lot of time at our lake place. I was a dare devil and loved nothing more than getting someone new on the back of our jet ski and throwing them off by doing a 360. The best was when they weren't expecting it and sometimes the whole thing would flip over, and I was a master at flipping that baby back over and hopping right back on and going again full throttle.
My mom would anxiously sit on the dock and beg me to "SLOW DOWN" or "STOP THAT", and of course, I would just laugh and keep on going. Needless to say considering I was a good kid and did not press my parents much, I loved a good thrill. Not so much now.
Those days are long gone, and I have turned very anxious.
I hate feeling so much anxiety, but it is a real struggle. You might say go to counseling, talk to a friend, read a book, find a good daily devotional, do something therapeutic, pray, slow down, etc, etc. And I would say check, check, check, now what?!?!?!
Find a good verse, memorize it, and repeat it to yourself when you feel this way?

Key developments in the global coronavirus outbreak today include:
Fresh witnesses cast doubt on lockdown behaviour of UK PM's aide
New testimony from sources suggests that Dominic Cummings, chief aide to the British prime minister, made at least two trips from London to Durham, and travelled to tourist hotspots in the north-east of England. The reports have led to a chorus of calls for the spin doctor to be sacked, including from the leaders of the Liberal Democrats and SNP, while Labour called for an urgent investigation.
Police rebut UK government claims over chief adviser
Durham constabulary have insisted they did speak to Cummings over allegations he broke the lockdown. The rebuttal came after Downing Street claimed that "at no stage was [Cummings] or his family spoken to by the police about this matter".
New York's daily death toll falls below 100 for first time since March
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that New York had recorded 84 new deaths from coronavirus on 22 May, the first time the figure has dropped below 100 since late March. He also eased the ban on group gatherings, altering restrictions to allow up to 10 people to meet up.
French death toll falls below Spain for first time in 10 days
France recorded a further 250 deaths, bringing the total to 144,806. However, after confirming several hundred deaths on Friday, Spain's death toll stood at 28,678 on Saturday, 346 more than France. This is the first time the Spanish toll has overtaken the French for 10 days, giving Spain the world's fourth-highest death toll after the US, Britain and Italy.
Trump causes controversy with golfing trip
Donald Trump has stirred fresh controversy after travelling from the White House to play a round of golf at his Virginia club. Despite a rising American death toll, which is now approaching 100,000, Trump has been keen to return the US to normality, and encouraging states to kickstart their economies.
UK government to put £283m into restoring public transport
The British government has announced it is investing £283m into getting public transport back to normal services, having been cut back during the coronavirus pandemic. However, transport secretary Grant Shapps said that even a fully restored service would only be capable of carrying, at best, one fifth of normal capacity, to allow for social distancing.
German religious gathering led to more than 40 infections
More than 40 people have been infected with coronavirus after attending a mass in Frankfurt earlier this month. Six were admitted to hospital. The service was held on 10 May, a few days after the reopening of places of worship in Germany, the daily Frankfurter Rundschau reported. Germany began to relax the restrictions put in place to control the spread of the virus at the beginning of May, after a strong decline in new cases, but fears remain of a second wave in the country.
India to organise special trains for migrant workers
The Indian government has pledged to organise special trains to get at least 3.6 million stranded migrant workers back to their homes. Many have been walking for hundred of miles, after becoming stranded in cities where work ceased to be available due to the pandemic.
Cyprus beaches reopen
Beaches in Cyprus have reopened, as the country marks its first day of zero new cases of coronavirus since its first cases were reported on 9 March. Residents had only been allowed to swim, but can now congregate on the beaches as long as they remain spaced apart. Only members of the same family can participate in water sports together.

Early rumours indicate that Samsung's Galaxy S7 will be tougher than its predecessor thanks to new materials and new display technology,
While Samsung's Galaxy S7 isn't expected to arrive until March of next year, the rumour mill is already working away. The Galaxy S7 is expected to be made of tough stuff if new reports are accurate.
Korean site Kbench says that Samsung has filed a trademark request for a new type of glass cover called Turtle Glass. This would replace the already in place Gorilla Glass 3 from Corning. The super strong display protection technology is an in-house solution, so it's unclear if it will be ready in time for the S7's launch.
Secondly, another Korean site, inews24.com, states that Samsung is testing out a magnesium-based alloy that would strengthen the body of the phone. Not only will it make for a tougher handset, but it could ensure the S7 is lighter than previous generations and will stop phones from overheating.
It's early days yet, and all of this comes in the wake of Apple unveiling its latest handsets, so take it with a dash of salt.

Lecture 2 ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE: AN INTRODUCTION
Between subjects experiments
The caffeine experiment was of between subjects design, that is, each participant was tested under only one condition. Participants were RANDOMLY ASSIGNED to the conditions, so that there was no basis on which the data could be paired. Between subjects experiments result in INDEPENDENT SAMPLES of data.
More than two conditions
In more complex experiments, there may be three or more conditions. For example, we could compare the performance of groups of participants who have ingested four different supposedly performance-enhancing drugs with that of a control or placebo group.
Factors In the context of analysis of variance (ANOVA), a FACTOR is a set of related treatments, conditions or categories. The ANOVA term 'factor' is a synonym for the term 'independent variable'.
One-factor experiments
In the drug experiment, there is just ONE set of (drug-related) conditions. The experiment therefore has ONE treatment factor. The conditions making up a factor are known as its LEVELS. In the drug experiment, the treatment factor has 5 levels.
Results of the experiment
raw scores grand mean
Statistics of the results
group (cell) means Group (cell) variances group (cell) standard deviations
The null hypothesis The null hypothesis states that, in the population, all the means have the same value. We cannot test this hypothesis with the t statistic.
The alternative hypothesis
The alternative hypothesis is that, in the population, the means do NOT all have the same value. MANY POSSIBILITIES are implied by H1.
The One-way ANOVA The ANOVA of a one-factor between groups experiment is also known as the ONE-WAY ANOVA. The one-way ANOVA must be sharply distinguished from the one-factor WITHIN SUBJECTS (or REPEATED MEASURES) ANOVA, which is appropriate when participants are tested at every level of the treatment factor. The between subjects and within subjects ANOVA are based upon different statistical models.
There are some large differences among the five treatment means, suggesting that the null hypothesis is false.
Mean square (MS) In ANOVA, the numerator of a variance estimate is known as a SUM OF SQUARES (SS). The denominator is known as the DEGREES OF FREEDOM (df). The variance estimate itself is known as a MEAN SQUARE (MS), so that MS = SS/df .
Accounting for variability
grand mean Accounting for variability total deviation between groups deviation within groups deviation The building block for any variance estimate is a DEVIATION of some sort. The TOTAL DEVIATION of any score from the grand mean (GM) can be divided into 2 components: 1. a BETWEEN GROUPS component; 2. a WITHIN GROUPS component.
Example of the breakdown
The score, the group mean and the grand mean have been ringed in the table. This breakdown holds for each of the fifty scores in the data set. score grand mean group mean
Breakdown (partition) of the total sum of squares
If you sum the squares of the deviations over all 50 scores, you obtain an expression which breaks down the total variability in the scores into between groups and within groups components.
How ANOVA works The variability BETWEEN the treatment means is compared with the average spread of scores around their means WITHIN the treatment groups. The comparison is made with a statistic called the F-RATIO.
The variances of the scores in each group around their group mean are averaged to obtain a WITHIN GROUPS MEAN SQUARE
From the values of the five treatment means, a BETWEEN GROUPS MEAN SQUARE is calculated.
The statistic F is calculated by dividing the between groups MS by the within groups MS thus
The F ratio
The value of the MSbetween , since it is calculated from the MEANS, reflects random error, plus any real differences among the population means that there may be.
The value of MSwithin , since it is calculated only from the variances of the scores within groups and ignores the values of the group means, reflects ONLY RANDOM ERROR.
What F is measuring If there are differences among the population means, the numerator will be inflated and F will increase. If there are no differences, F will be close to 1. error + real differences error only
Expectations If the null hypothesis is true, the values of MSbetween and MSwithin will be similar, because both variance estimates merely reflect individual differences and random variation or ERROR. If so, the value of F will be around 1. If the null hypothesis is false, real differences among the population means will inflate the value of MSbetween but the value of MSwithin will be unaffected. The result will be a LARGE value of F.
Range of variation of F The F statistic is the ratio of two sample variances. A variance can take only non-negative values. So the lower limit for F is zero. There is no upper limit for F.
Imagine… Suppose the null hypothesis is true.
Imagine the experiment were to be repeated thousands and thousands of times, with fresh samples of participants each time. There would be thousands and thousands of data sets, from each of which a value of F could be calculated.
Sampling distribution
To test the null hypothesis, you must be able to locate YOUR value of F in the population or PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION of such values. The probability distribution of a statistic is known as its SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION. To specify a sampling distribution, you must assign values to properties known as PARAMETERS.
Parameters of F Recall that the t distribution has ONE parameter: the DEGREES OF FREEDOM (df ). The F distribution has TWO parameters: the degrees of freedom of the between groups and within groups mean squares, which we shall denote by dfbetween and dfwithin, respectively.
Rule for finding the degrees of freedom
There's a useful rule for finding the degrees of freedom of a statistic. Take the number of independent observations and subtract the number of parameters estimated. The sample variance of n scores is based upon n independent observations. But to obtain the deviations, we need an estimate of ONE parameter, namely, the mean. So the degrees of freedom of the sample variance is n – 1, not n.
Rule for obtaining the df
Degrees of freedom of the two mean squares
The degrees of freedom of MSbetween is the number of treatment groups minus 1. (One parameter estimated: the grand mean.) The degrees of freedom of MSwithin is the total number of scores minus the number of treatment groups. (Five parameters are estimated: the five group means.)
The correct F distribution
We shall specify an F distribution with the notation F(dfbetween, dfwithin). We have seen that in our example, dfbetween = 4 and dfwithin = 45. The correct F distribution for our test of the null hypothesis is therefore F(4, 45).
The distribution of F(1, 45)
F distributions are POSITIVELY SKEWED, i.e., they have a long tail to the right. However, the shape of F varies quite markedly with the values of the df.
The distribution of F(4, 45)
Distribution of F(4, 45) The critical region is in the upper tail of this F distribution. If we set the significance level at .05, the value of F must be at least 2.6. The value 2.58 is the 95th Percentile of the distribution F(4, 45).
The F distribution F(dfbetween, dfwithin) = F(4, 45) .05 .95 F 95th percentile = 2.58 An F distribution is asymmetric, with an infinitely long tail to the right. The critical region lies above the 95th percentile which, in this F distribution, is 2.58.
The ANOVA summary table
F large, nine times larger than unity, the expected value from the null hypothesis and well over the critical value 2.58. The p-value (Sig.) <.01. So F is significant beyond the .01 level. Write this result as follows: 'with an alpha-level of .05, F is significant: F(4, 45) = 9.09; p <.01'. Do NOT write the p-value as '.000'! Notice that SStotal= SSbetween groups + SSwithin groups
SPSS advice A few general points.
Give close attention to the labels you give to your variables, and to the appearance of your data. Unnecessary decimal places clutter the display. It is particularly important to assign VALUE LABELS to the code numbers you choose for any grouping variables. Specify also the LEVEL OF MEASUREMENT of each variable.
Start in Variable View Work in Variable View first, amending the settings so that when you enter Data View, your variables are already labelled, the scores appear without unnecessary decimals and you will have the option of displaying the value labels of your grouping variable.
Graphics The latest SPSS graphics require you to specify the level of measurement of the data on each variable. The group code numbers are at the NOMINAL level of measurement, because they are merely CATEGORY LABELS. Make the appropriate entry in the Measure column.
Grouping variables To instruct SPSS to analyse data from between subjects experiments, you must construct a GROUPING VARIABLE consisting of code numbers identifying the treatment condition under which a score was achieved. So we could set 1 = Placebo, 2 = Drug A, 3 = Drug B, 4 = Drug C, and 5 = Drug D.
Data View This is what Data View will look like.
The entry of data for an ANOVA on SPSS is similar to the procedure we followed when making an independent-samples t-test. On the right, the VALUE LABELS are displayed, instead of the values themselves. (This option appears in the Data menu.)
Assignment of values in Variable View
Variable View completed
Note the setting of Decimals so that only whole numbers will appear in Data View. Note the informative variable LABELS, which will appear in the output. Note the VALUE LABELS giving the key to the code numbers you have chosen for your grouping variable. (The 'values' themselves are the code numbers you have chosen.)
The One-Way ANOVA dialog box
More statistics By clicking Options, you can order more statistics than would normally appear in the ANOVA output. Click the Descriptive button to order the extra statistics and then Continue, to return to the ANOVA dialog box.
A word of warning Modern computing packages such as SPSS afford a bewildering variety of attractive graphs and displays to help you bring out the most important features of your results. You should certainly use them. But there are pitfalls awaiting the unwary. Suppose the drug experiment had turned out rather differently. The researcher proceeds as follows.
Ordering a means plot
A picture of the results
The picture is false! The table of means shows miniscule differences among the five group means. The value of F is very small indeed. The p-value of F is very high – unity to two places of decimals. The experiment has failed to show that any of the drugs works.
A small scale view Only a microscopically small section of the scale is shown on the vertical axis. This greatly magnifies even small differences among the group means.
Putting things right Double-click on the image to get into the Graph Editor. Double-click on the vertical axis to access the scale specifications. Click here
Putting things right … Uncheck the minimum value box and enter zero as the desired minimum point. Click Apply. Amend entry
The true picture!
The true picture … The effect is dramatic.
The profile now reflects the true situation. Always be suspicious of graphs that do not show the complete vertical scale.
Summary In the one-way ANOVA, we compare two variance estimates, MSbetween and MSwithin by means of their ratio, which is called the F statistic. If F is large, we conclude that there is at least one significant difference somewhere among the array of treatment means.

A maelstrom of economic and demographic forces are hammering Wisconsin's dairy farmers. But what's causing such exceptional distress in one of the state's iconic industries? Here are six charts — and a map — that can help make sense of these complex trends.
STORM LAKE, Iowa – "When family farms prosper, everyone prospers." Scribed on the back of their shirts, that was the message that Wisconsin Farmers Union (WFU) members carried to the inaugural Heartland Forum in Iowa on March 30.
During the Heartland Forum in Storm Lake Iowa several of the presidential candidates took part in informal press gaggles during the event. These are interesting events, with a large number of TV and Radio reporters fighting for room near the interviewee. As is obvious from the video, I did not always win that battle, but bear with that.

What Is Your Core?? – Raleigh Chiropractor
The core of your body is the originating center of all your body movements. It comprises the muscles of your trunk and pelvis, which include the oblique muscles, abdominal muscles, upper back muscles, lower body muscles and muscles in your pelvic area such as hip flexors.
These muscles work when you're sitting upright, bending over, standing, walking and when performing torso-rotational movements. The muscles are also worked when you are performing physical activities and athletic movements, such as running.
Why is the Core So Important?
A poor core makes you vulnerable to injury, pain in the lower back and poor posture. For this reason, core strengthening is vital for overall conditioning of your body. The following are the benefits of core strengthening.
1.Provides protection for your back due to the bracing effect of strengthening the core muscles.
2.Improves your performance during exercise and sports activities.
3.Stabilizes your center of gravity.
4.Improves posture and balance.
5.Provides core stability because your trunk becomes stronger.
6.Makes you less susceptible to back pain and other injuries.
7.Improves shape and can help you get the lean frame.
A few ways to strengthen your core:
Start with walking or jogging. If you're not used to working out, start with a short jog, or walk a few times a week to strengthen the core. A couple of miles every week will prepare your core for more advanced exercises.
2. Body weight Core Exercises
Experiment with exercises like abdominal presses, bridge and sit-up variations. Basic sit-ups and crunches are quite easy; lay on you back with your knees bent and feet on the floor. With arms crossed over your chest, bring your chin up towards your pelvis as you straighten your abdominal muscles.
To perform abdominal press, lie on your back. Bring one or both knees to your chest using your ab muscles, and attempt to push them away with your hands.
3. Swimming
Swimming can help strengthen your core. A few laps at a pool is a great way to add core strength. Swim 20-30 minutes for a good overall workout; both cardiovascular and muscular.
4. Strength Training Exercises
Push-ups, pull-ups, squats and dips are great strength training exercises. Although they don't directly target your core, these exercises are among the best core builders because they require core stabilization against your body's entire weight.
Avoid stretching too or to the point of pain. If you have back problems, see a Raleigh chiropractor to help you deal with the problems.
4. Lift Weights
Use weight machines or lift free weights 2-3 times per week. You can start with light weights that you can easily perform 12 repetitions. With time, add the weight. If you can use free weights and dumbbells, they are more effective at building your core because of the body stabilization involved.
5. Play Sports
Play sports like tennis, soccer, baseball and racquetball. They are great core-builders. You can even play with a friend, it's a great way to build core strength and still have fun.
These are just some of the benefits of having in maintaining a strong core. At Triangle Spine Center, your local Brier Creek chiropractor, we are concerned about whole patient wellness, and having a strong core is part of that. Please call our office at 919.957.3600 and arrange for a consultation. We will evaluate your current health status, make sure your spine is properly aligned, and put together a series of exercises, designed specifically for you, to help you strengthen your core.

76 Responses to "hazy"
When I was in the bathroom this morning getting ready, I turned my head to the side, where it was facing my wall. I came to find a demonic, overweight woman staring straight into my eyes. I looked closer at her, squinting my eyes, taking in all of her dark features. It was then when her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her jaw dropped inhumanly. She began running at me, full speed and consumed me with her darkness.
[Not A] true story.
My thoughts were a bit hazy this morning.
when i wake up my left eye stays shut for a while before i am totally awake. my right eye squirms around the light filled world while the left ruminates dreams and nighttime. the morning is still moving the mist out of my brain valleys, rolling fogs and little hairs covered with dew.
I stepped out of the door, it looked hazy. What am I doing with my life? Where am I going with my life? I don't know, I don't have a clear vision. "What a beautiful day, eh? Sun's bright and the sky so clear" my twin brother said.
the hazyness was devestating. No one could even imagine all the stuff that went on in my head. On repeat my brain just produced hazyness and emptyness. I had no sense of time and place, or smells or sounds. It was all just so hazy.
Today I was on a strange place testing my new jet-pack and it was a very hazy and I crashed a lot of times I mean a lot but I never gave up but every time I wanted to fly I couldn't but when the mist got away I was stuck on mount Everest and I was freezing to death but I as always have a spare jet-pack boom baby.
Oh okay. I thought it was going to be the same word. Anyway. Hmm. I guess my mind is pretty hazy. I gotta get things off my chest. For some reason that sounds like a song. Idk. Lollololol
Um. Well. What should I talk about? Everything is just SO HAZY!!! For God's sake, oh my–
Ugh. Well. I feel so hazy. Gotta get my brain straight. I feel so hazy. Hazzzzy. Hazy Hazy.
OH MY GOD! Hazy mean unclear. Vague? Right?
My mind is hazy. I mean, I guess I'm pretty insane. I know I'm kind of deranged. My behavior is strange. I need a scan of my brain. I guess I'm pretty insane. Yeah, I guess I'm a pretty sick gal…
We wanted to go outside and play but it was too hazy and humid. So we just thought of a game to play inside.
Like a dream, there she was. And I couldn't stop staring, and couldn't stop thinking. Couldn't ever stop myself from loving, even though I couldn't see. Even when I was blind and I just stood there, and your piercing eyes put a hole in me that I'm still trying to fill. Maybe you were just a hazy summer dream, and maybe you were so much more.
the blue sky turned into a hazy twilight yellow in just a matter of seconds
you're a starry night or a groggy morning you're the sun in my eyes and my never told story I hate the look in your eyes when you finally leave but I'll always remember that night with fireworks everywhere and you'll always stay somewhere inside me I hope you'd leave but it's hard to find your way out I know
He opened his eyes to hot breath fanning over his face. She was sleeping soundly, mouth wide open and tongue lolling. Ridiculously unsexy but still kinda cute. Still, that extra shot of vodka made it hard to remember her name or if their time together was worth repeating.
She woke up early that morning. Everything about that past night seemed hazy. She looked around the room she was in from her position on the bed. As she tried to sit up she realized that there was an arm wrapped tightly around her waist. A groan came from the body next to her. As she looked over her shoulder at the owner of the mysterious limb, her stomach dropped when she realized it was the man she dreaded ending up with the most.
I remember the summer we were at Jann Lake Lodge. Forrest fires were burning just kms north of us. The sky was hazy with smoke. At times, it was so thick, you could taste it, almost feel it in the air.
The memories faded. Your smile had become unclear. I couldn't remember you. Did we hug? Was it all so hazy that I couldn't remember?
The hazy sun was rising over the dusty mountains. Many people believed the haziness was because of the way the dust was stirred up by the storms. The wind storms threw the dust into the air, making the sunlight glittery and hazy. Others said it was because of the factory spitting smoke into the air.
A dark fog of forgotten thoughts circled. The whirling sense of it all pushed the comprehensibility to new lows. In a time when all logs had been made to seem less intelligent, or even just plain. There was one log that unburdened itself from the monotony of normal bog life, and transcended into the overwhelming sensation-less mentality of a twenty something fun-sucker.
The fog consumes everyone in the end.
You said you were different.
The only thing I can see now is that you were lying.
I wake up hazy every morning. Hazy eyes, blurring the world around me, softening and blurring the autumn leaves, the detail on my duvet, and the faces of those who greet me.
Hazy is waking up after camping, looking over the dew covered grass and inhaling the damp chill of the morning.
Hazy is the way you feel after hearing shocking news. The way you are vaguely aware of your hanging jaw, yet you don't even think to move it, your mind spinning around the thought of what has happened.
Hazy is how I felt yesterday when we were told he was gone. His face already hazily blurred and softened in my mind.
The Hazy light makes me tired. I don't know what it is, but it continues to brighten. It's hazy after glow made me want to close my eyes. My vision is hazy.
Not writing…
I look hazy, unknowable in a Jekyll-and-Hyde sort of way, and so I keep a comfortable distance from my inner workings. I've dipped in from time to time and got the fright of my life. It is more peaceful to live on the outskirts of town, to drive in when supplies run low, to hear the same question over and over, "Don'cha git lonely up in dem hills?" And I say, "Not yet, but I'm tryin'."
This afternoon was an incredibly hazy and boring so of course it was hazy becouse it was boring!
This afternoon was an incredibly hazy and boring so of course it was hazy becouse it was boring! It was a hazy memory and it was like I said it was boring so I try to make my day eventful
hazy: heated area where the air is incredible hot and hazy.
Hazy is very odd and it is very hard to remember I think? But I describe it as a long ago memory.
I have no idea what the word hazy means, but it is fun to say. To me, anything with a z in the spelling is fun to say. I think the letter z has a funny sound. HHHAAAZZZYYY. I can't stop saying it.

Terry was predeceased by his father, Larry, and his younger brother Sean, and by his dear mother, Agnes, who passed away just one month ago.
The family would like to thank all of Terry's friends and colleagues who gave their kind and generous support over the past few months, especially Terry's dear friends Mike Arno, Jean Caliberté and Casey Van Der Grient.

Parents of preschoolers in Tucson, Arizona may be looking for reading tips to help their preschool student retain skills and knowledge over the summer break. These seven tips are only some of the ways parents can encourage their preschoolers to love learning even in the summertime.
Choose Read-Alouds That Connect with Summer Activities
Part of making summer enrichment fun for your child is choosing preschool reading books about subjects he or she enjoys. One way to do this is to choose books about summer activities you plan to do, are currently doing, or have recently done. Going to the beach, camping, swimming in a poolu and having a picnic have all been the subjects of books for preschoolers. A children's librarian can recommend others.
Create a Family History Book to Document Your Summer
By making a book together, your family can extend the love of reading into a love of writing and using one's imagination. This summer preschool enrichment activity allows you and child to work together. Use things the family did over the summer, coming up with imaginative words and images to describe them. Then create a tangible keepsake that you and your child can re-read any time.
Designate a Daily Reading Time
Many schools encourage students to spend fifteen minutes a day reading. You may have to adjust the specific length of time to suit your preschooler's attention span. By having a certain time of day at which you always read, you establish reading as part of the daily routine. When your child reaches higher grades, he or she will already be in the habit, and reading for fifteen minutes a day will already be a habit.
Let Your Child See You Reading
Children will see adults reading at reputable preschools in Tucson. Let them see that reading isn't only an activity for school but also something you do at home on a daily basis. This helps establish that reading is a normal part of life that is done at any time and any place.
Show your child that you read a wide variety of media, from books to magazines to newspapers. Help them understand how reading and writing are part of your everyday life. This shows even when you're only making out a grocery shopping list or paying a bill by mail.
Point Out Words and Letters in the Course of Daily Activities
This preschool enrichment tip requires very little time and energy. Just noticing words and letters in your daily routine can be a part of your reading routine. Signs along the road as you're driving, signs inside and outside stores where you shop with your preschooler, stop signs when you're out for a walk, etc. Doing this with your child will show them not only the uses for specific words but also how important reading and writing are to daily life.
Dozens of activities and games also incorporate words and letters. Practice making letter shapes in the sand at the beach or cover an outdoor table in shaving cream and write words in it with your fingers. Make up a spelling rhyme to go along with hopscotch or jumping rope.
Take Books With You on Outings
A small selection of preschool reading books can easily be slipped into a picnic basket or beach bag. You can maintain a stash of books in the car for road trips both long and short. Children will learn that books are something that can be enjoyed anywhere. Try reading in the park or at the beach to reinforce the idea of reading as a pleasure.
Visit Your Local Public Library
Libraries are great places to find summer enrichment programs. Most libraries offer a story time program. They may also schedule interactive, book-themed activities such as puppet shows or arts and crafts activities. Some libraries also offer all-ages summer reading programs that give children a chance to earn points and/or rewards for every book they read/hear. Parents are often encouraged to stay with their children and take part in the library activities together, which can build even more pleasurable summer memories.
By using these seven summer reading tips, parents and other caregivers can encourage their preschool student to retain learning skills and knowledge over the summer. With a little planning, preparation, and fun, your child will go straight into any reputable preschool in Tucson or kindergarten program ready to learn and succeed.

Spirit of the Narrows – Performance
Presented by Falcon Productions and sponsored by Polyphonic Ground and World Fiddle Day Toronto.
Created and written by Anne Lederman, and performed by Anne and Capucine Onn, Spirit of the Narrows is the story of one woman's journey into the world of Aboriginal fiddling. As a young musician, Anne became fascinated with the unusual sound of Métis and First Nations fiddling in her home province of Manitoba. In the mid 1980s, she set out to learn more about it. Whom did she meet but fiddlers like Carl Grexton, Emile Spence, Laurence Flett, Grandy Fagnan, Teddy Boy Houle and a host of others, some of whom didn't quite know what to make of this young woman with a fiddle under her arm. Entering a world very different from her own, the play is her journey—between present and past, between cultures, and between states of mind.
Through one woman's eyes, Spirit of the Narrows is a story about a uniquely Canadian music and the people who created It. The music is like no other, embodying Indigenous, French, English, American and Eastern European traditions, all played on a small box with four strings. Spirit of the Narrows is alive with humour, insight and respect and is a tribute to the people and the music Anne came to know. Audiences come away from the show with the unique sounds of Aboriginal folk fiddling ringing in their ears, along with a new understanding of life on the Canadian prairies in the late 20th century. And since this music tells the story of the coming together of many peoples, like Anne, you won't be quite the same afterwards.
Anne has performed solo versions of the show from Wells, B.C. to Aberdeen, Scotland in homes, church basements, classrooms, folk clubs and theatres. In 2004, the Blyth Festival invited her to adapt it for 2 performers, which she did so well that it was brought back for a 2nd season in 2005. In 2015 and 2016, the show was revived at The Pearl Company in Hamilton to rave reviews, called "The Best of 2015" by Hamilton Arts paper, View.
"What an incredible show! A show that provokes thought and is marvelously entertaining. Congratulations on such an excellent production." - Mark Nonkes, Blyth 2004
"Anne is a great fiddler and story teller. She has clearly absorbed many of the accents and idiosyncrasies of rural Manitoba, often portrayed to hilarious effect. Recommended for those who love music, fiddle, Manitoba, and good times." - Mackenzie Kristjon Jenkyns, Raise the Hammer (online review) Nov. 2015
"Vivid, layered, intimate and, at points, mystical... The musicians she meets and the complexity and pathos of their experiences as individuals and as First Nations people are beautifully brought to life. The two actors navigate time, space, clashes of identity, culture and musical tradition into one skillfully woven performance." - Allison Jones, The View
"While not Métis herself, Lederman has devoted herself to the preservation of old fiddle music." - Métis Nation of Ontario website
"You cannot experience Spirit of the Narrows without thinking that Lederman was born to find this music." - Robert Reid, The Record
Anne Lederman has done something incredible here, and the scope of its cultural value is something that is almost impossible to appraise other than to say this: it's more than a record or a testament. It is truly a living and breathing coil of our collective Canadian DNA and it deserves to be cherished." - Gil Garratt, Blyth Theatre Festival

Operating Engineers Local 701 and its affiliated AGC training center set up shop Aug. 24-26 as a major sponsor of the inaugural Boring Brewfest fundraiser, bringing a mini-excavator and computerized tower crane simulator for members of the public to play on as they enjoyed local brews, food, and music.
Apprenticeship Training Director Lonnie Land, instructor Dave Sanders, and field reps Nate Stokes and Terry Casey spent the weekend at the festival talking about apprenticeship opportunities and jobs as operating engineers.
"We heard about an opportunity to help raise money for a good cause, and to promote our training program at the same time. It was a no brainer," said Local 701 Business Manager Jim Anderson, who attended on Saturday.
The event was a fundraiser for the Kyla McCullough Gift Fund and the Boring Oregon Foundation. The Kyla McCullough Gift Fund is a nonprofit organization that assists local children living with cancer while bringing awareness to the community about how to help others dealing with cancer. It's named in honor of Kyla, 7, who died of brain cancer in 2005. The Boring Oregon Foundation is a group of residents raising money to build a multi-generational community center in the area. Boring Brewing is located alongside Highway 26 east of Gresham.

Registry for the Advancement of Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease (RAD-PD)
Last fall, the NeuroPoint Alliance (NPA) joined together with the Parkinson's Study Group (PSG), Neurotargeting, and the Michael J Fox Foundation (MJFF) to launch the Registry for the Advancement of Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease (RAD-PD). This is the latest registry project of the NPA, which currently maintains the Quality Outcomes Database and Stereotactic Radiosurgery registries.
The launch of RAD-PD represents a unique partnership between neurologists and neurosurgeons with support from MJFF. The registry enrolled its first patients in March, just prior to Parkinson's Disease Awareness month in April. The goal of RAD-PD is to create the largest cohort of comprehensively characterized patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have contemplated or undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and longitudinally follow them for five years or more.
While DBS is considered the standard of care for advanced PD, knowledge gaps still persist for the use of this therapy, despite the implantation of over 100,000 patients worldwide. This project aims to answer many questions, including the incidence and risk factors for adverse events as well as the role of health economics and disparities all in an effort to elucidate best practices. Some of the issues that will be addressed include patient selection methods, therapeutic decision-making, understanding patient outcomes, stimulation response, treatment practices, evidence-based patient management strategies and cost-effective treatment and management practices. Extensive use of patient reported outcomes, surgical risk analysis, post-operative implantation imaging and analysis of stimulation parameters will allow for the most comprehensive analysis of the multifactorial nature of stimulation treatment.
A total of 20 centers will look to enroll most, if not all, of their PD patients with a goal of at least 500 patients entered over the first two years. Data entry will be facilitated by CranialCloud software provided by Neurotargeting. This data platform has been designed around the workflow of a DBS patient work up and should ideally streamline the process, rather than add additional work. Further, many of the patient-reported outcomes will be automated, giving patients the opportunity to report online. Patients will also be provided with a progress "report card" that will incentivize them to complete their reports.
As is common in registry projects, individual sites will own and maintain their own data, while de-identified data will be uploaded to the registry for compilation and analysis. This is a quality improvement project and actionable quality improvement metrics will be provided back to the sites in the form of treatment benchmarks and treatment dashboard reporting. Individual sites will be able to run queries on their own data and access to the entire de-identified data set can be requested from the Data Use and Access Committee of the Registry's Steering Committee.
Given the complexity of the DBS work-up and treatment details it is virtually impossible and certainly cost and time prohibitive to use randomized clinical trials to answer the clinical questions that have been raised. This real life biopsy of clinical practice in the field is a much more efficient way to gather data that, in turn, is more likely to produce actionable results. The potential for this registry project is extensive and several investigators have already proposed potential analyses of the data.
While the initial sites have been chosen, there is potential for additional sites to be involved in RAD-PD in the future. For more information about RAD-PD, visit www.rad-pd.org.

Hello, fellow readers!
2017 is soon coming to an end, and with that I would like to announce something I have been working on the past couple months: a platform where you are given the opportunity to express your feelings, thoughts, and interests – free of charge. You can write about politics, social issues, literature, or anything on your mind.
What is it and why?
Articool is an article platform designed to improve communication between authors and readers. Its simplistic design makes sure the reader stays motivated and focused throughout the whole text. You can be assured that there will be no interruptions while reading articles, this including no advertisements.
Reading a post on Facebook can sometimes be difficult. This is due to the amount of extra stuff on the page – from messages and notifications to other blinky stuff that can possibly distract you. After you have read an article on Articool, you are given the option to share it on other social media platforms.
In the starting phase, I am only allowing certain authors to write articles on this platform: I want to set an example for future authors and demonstrate how the platform should be used. I hope to see more people interested in displaying their writing on Articool in the future – maybe you'll find the inner author in you!
