NICALI SPORTS MEDICINE & ASSOCIATES provides best sports medicine and laser therapy for sports injuries in Pasadena CA. We are providing various medical services for sports injury in Alhambra, Pasadena CA.
If you're an athlete, or just trying to stay fit and active, you need to perform many sports activities that require running, jumping, balancing and coordination, along with activities that cause physical stress on the body. Putting your body through these activities can result in painful tears, sprains, and strains of your muscles, ligaments and tendons. Seeing a Sports Certified Physician who specializes in Sports Medicine can help you when you've suffered sports injuries, help to prevent them and help you improve performance.
Chiropractic physicians treat and can help prevent injuries of the neck, back, shoulders, knees, and ankles, amongst other joints. They're skilled in manual adjustments of the spine, ensuring that bones are lined up and balanced, which helps relieve tension in the body. This allows the body to function better and become less susceptible to injury. Through the use of medically approved techniques that focus on the management of sport injuries, restoration and enhancement of joint function while resolving joint inflammation and reducing pain can improve healing and enhance performance. This hands-on therapy is often used to treat many injuries associated with sports activities and also relieves pain throughout the joints and muscles in the body.
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. Chiropractic physicians help athletes by relieving their pain and helping them heal faster after an injury. Regular visits will promote quicker recovery after games and training as well as better balance and overall performance.
To start, the doctor will ask you questions about your health and perform a structural exam of your posture, spine and balance. He or she will also examine your back, extremities, tendons, ligaments and joints. Utilizing this information, your doctor will be able to determine what treatment would benefit you. In addition to treating injuries, physiotherapy by a Certified Sports Chiropractor can also help you prevent injuries from occurring.
If you're experiencing pain from a sports injury, consider seeing a Certified Sports Chiropractor. You may want to schedule regular check-ups to prevent injuries from occurring and to keep your body performing properly.
Seeking early treatment is important in minimizing the progression of any injury. At Nicali Sports Medicine and Associates, we successfully use a wide variety of physical modalities such as: TENS, Interferential Current, Ultrasound, Laser Therapy, Therapeutic Massage Therapy and Corrective Manual Manipulations to manage these type of injuries. With a proper examination and diagnosis, healing of these conditions can be achieved and return to normal pain-free activity can be expected.
What are Repetitive Strain Injuries?
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) are a family of injuries affecting tendons, tendon sheaths, muscles, nerves and joints. They cause persistent or recurring pains most commonly in the neck, shoulders, forearms, hands, wrists, elbows and lower limbs.
The term "repetitive strain" injury is misleading. Unlike other diseases, RSIs are not easily classified because they have a variety of causes and include injuries to different parts of the body. A number of terms are applied to such injuries including: repetitive injury, repetitive motion injury, repetitive trauma, overuse injury, cumulative trauma disorder, occupational musculoskeletal disorder and cervio-brachial disorder. The different terms indicate that such injuries involve repetition, and can also be caused by force, rapid movement, overuse, static loading, excessive strain, uncomfortable positioning of limbs or holding one's posture in an unnatural, constrained or constricted position.
Who is affected?
In the past, repetitive strain injuries were most commonly attributed to those persons involved in sports – hence the names, "tennis elbow" or "golfer's elbow". These injuries were generally not recognized amongst workers, although syndromes related to specific occupations such as "weaver's cramp" and "threader's wrist" were reported. However, RSIs are increasingly common among a variety of worker groups, from clerks to jackhammer operators, from maintenance workers to typists.
Many workers are unfamiliar with repetitive strain injuries so everyday aches and pains are overlooked and no connection is made between the injury and the workplace. Aches and pains warn that a serious injury may be developing. If the causes are not eliminated or the worker moved from the job immediately, the damage can be permanent and irreversible. Sometimes the injury is crippling, leaving the worker in pain and possibly immobile for life.
Although the number of RSI injuries reported is increasing, there are no regulations or standards covering them.
RSI: The Causes
The causes of repetitive strain injuries can be classified in the following ways:
1. Rapid movement injuries, caused by repeated rapid movements.
2. Forceful movement injuries, caused by the exertion of muscle movement.
3. Static loading injuries, caused by fixed position with unsupported limbs.
Such injuries can be caused by either too little movement or excessive movement while handling light as well as heavy loads.
Often, repetitive strain injuries have multiple causes. A maintenance worker using a screwdriver may get pains from repetitive use of force while working at an uncomfortable angle. VDT operators may sit in an uncomfortable position with no wrist support and use rapid finger movements on a poorly designed keyboard. These workers may develop a number of serious injuries because of effects on their musculoskeletal system.
Any work that forces a person into an "unnatural" position can lead to repetitive strain injuries. The forceful twisting of a screwdriver, repetitive finger movements without rest, sitting in an uncomfortable position, bending the wrists for long periods, working with arms above shoulder length, gripping tools forcefully, etc., strain tendons, ligaments, and muscles causing injury.
Therapeutic Massage is a combination of Relaxation Massage and Remedial Massage to not only relax your whole body but at the same time, work through some of the muscle issues or "tight spots".
Massage therapy may also improve your circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells and helps remove waste products or reduce swelling. These circulatory effects of massage may have value in the treatment of some inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
Massage therapy induces a relaxation response, which lowers your heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure; plus boosts your immune system; and generally decreases the physical effects of stress.
People of all ages can benefit from therapeutic massage. Massage is also suitable for people with disabilities, expecting mothers, and people in treatment for medical conditions, although some special precautions may need to be taken to protect the health of the client.
The best time for a therapeutic massage is when you feel yourself getting worked up or when you are just not feeling your best. Others find a regular therapeutic massage every month or once in a three months to get a great dose of prevention therapy. We even have some highly stressed patients who have weekly massages just to cope with daily life.
If you have never had a therapeutic massage before or it has been quite some time since your last massage then your initial treatment should ideally be for 60 to 90 minutes so that the therapist can work through those tired muscles at an even pace to minimise any possible soreness the following day. If you are a more regular massage recipient, your massage therapist will guide you as to the direction that works best for you and your muscles.
People can use therapeutic massage as a standalone treatment. Some people, such as athletes, labourers or stressed out even office workers, receive regular therapeutic massage to keep themselves in good physical condition.
Therapeutic goals can vary considerably between massage therapists and clients. In some cases, massage is recommended by a health professional and may be performed as part of a larger treatment plan. For example, someone attending physiotherapy for an injury might have regular therapeutic massage to loosen muscles, improve muscle tone, and increase their flexibility. Likewise, therapeutic massage can be used to supplement wound care, cancer care, and a variety of other treatments
Thank you for considering NICALI SPORTS MEDICINE AND ASSOCIATES for your needs in the field of physical medicine. Our offices specialize in management of musculoskeletal conditions of traumatic or repetitive origin, through the use of physiotherapy, therapeutic massage, muscle and joint rehabilitation, exercise and scientifically oriented manipulative therapy. We have x-rays facilities and are equipped to supervise and manage care through rehabilitation, strengthening and cardiovascular exercise.
No part of your body escapes the dominance of your nervous system. Improper function of the spine due to slight misalignments-called subluxations-can cause poor health or function, even in areas far removed from the spine and spinal cord itself. Misalignments can also reduce the ability of your body to adapt to its ever-changing environment. Even the slightest malfunction of your spine may alter the regular transmission of nerve impulses, preventing that portion of your body from responding optimally.
Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments and restore proper function to the nervous system, helping your body to heal naturally. Chiropractic doesn't use drugs or surgery. Rather, a chiropractic spinal adjustment-the application of a precise force to a specific part of the spinal segment-corrects the misalignment, permitting normal nerve transmission and assisting your body to recuperate on its own.
If you are suffering from back pain or neck pain after a car accident, you may have sustained a spinal injury or a whiplash injury. Without proper care, these injuries can have a serious impact on your health, leading to months or even years of chronic pain. We at Nicali Sports Medicine and associates have substantial experience treating auto accident injury patients. We understand the best ways to manage injuries associated with car accidents for maximum recovery and healing.
Injuries occur when the force of an auto accident knocks or whips the musculoskeletal system out of proper alignment. The muscle ligament complex stretches beyond its' physiological limits, causing tears known as strains and sprains in the tissue fibers. For example, a whiplash injury may occur when the force of a rear-impact accident abruptly "whips" the cervical spine backwards and forwards. Not only does this abrupt movement knock the spine out of alignment, but it also strains the neck muscles, causing further stiffness, soreness and pain. Traditional medical care after an auto accident injury relies on medication to "cover up" a patient's pain symptoms. While prescription painkillers are effective for providing immediate pain relief, they are not a long-term pain management solution. Additionally, medication alone cannot help patients regain mobility in their bodies after a spine injury.
Chiropractic care along with scientifically based physiotherapy treat the underlying spinal injury or whiplash injury. Adjustments relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles, while also bringing alignment back to the spine. Complementary therapies, including corrective exercises, will help bring a full range of motion back to the body.
If you have recently been in a car accident, contact us soon as possible. Acute and chronic pain both benefit from prompt treatment. With proper diagnostic care, we will be able to identify your underlying injuries and create a custom treatment program to support your body's natural healing process. You do not need to be in a major accident to sustain serious damage to the musculoskeletal system. Injuries at speeds as slow as 5mph can still knock the cervical spine out of alignment causing a painful whiplash injury. Unfortunately, since a fender bender is considered to be a "minor" accident, accident victims typically delay seeking treatment – which can lead to a lifetime of health problems. Prompt care makes a difference!
Could you be suffering pain from a whiplash or spinal injury? Accident injury pain symptoms include whiplash, neck and back pain, headaches, migraines, shoulder pain, fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in an upper or lower limb, jaw pain, and pain in the face. Many accident victims also suffer from sleep disturbances, blurred vision, irritability, dizziness and forgetfulness.
If you have recently been in an auto accident, we are here to help. We accept health Insurance. If you are being represented by an attorney, we are experienced at management of injuries on a Medical Legal basis and can work with your attorney to help you resolve your claim with no cost to you. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care for auto accident injuries!

Honest, effective, affordable decompression.
Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain,
and headaches.
Decompression Therapy effectively relieves the pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, posterior facet, and other spinal related syndromes, by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.
Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and often renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle. Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals.
Decompression Therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs as well as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases.
This treatment helps patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery.
Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3-4 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. During each session, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, or therapeutic laser may be applied to help relax muscles and promote further healing of injured tissues.
After treatment, your doctor may prescribe specific exercises designed to help you regain proper control and strength of the stabilization muscles which can help create long term benefits.
Decompression Therapy is administered to patients fully clothed either face down or face up on the table. Clinical studies suggest Decompression Therapy provides a majority of qualified candidates with initial relief within just a few sessions.
Decompression Therapy is an approved procedure that is covered by many insurance companies.
This proven, non-surgical approach could help you find the pain relief you need.

Question about Kodak EASYSHARE Plus Series 3 Thermal Photo Printer
My printer is making perforations in top and bottom of my prints also leaving a white thin strip on one side.
Posted by acuplady on
The paper is perforated prior to printing...
You have answered questions regarding people who have photo printers. The questions asked are based on thermal transfer image printers, not bubble jet as your answers seem to be based on. FYI if people are having issues with their thermal printers, particularly with pictures printing, "Printing" partial pages, how in the world could you deduce that there is a driver issue? You've been more harmful than helpful. If for some reason there is "No" printing being done, then sure 25% of the problem could be drivers or firmware issues. However if it all of a sudden happens, then we have to think of it like a chain on a bicycle suddenly
breaking. Which in this case has a percentage of 50% or greater being the problem.
The lucky ones, (those w/ mechanical aptitude) can simply open the printer and make the screw adjustment(don't get me wrong it's time consuming and tedious) but the unlucky ones will find a cracked gear assembly which depending on the seriousness may be able to be repaired with "Model Glue". The recommended action is to follow your warranty, should
you not have one, guess what, these models are no longer manufactured for this exact reason. Which is why Kodak changed the color to Black on the new ones. So remember, if you buy it on sale... You now have full experience as to why the item was on sale in the first place, same goes with Manufacturer coupons as well!!!! If you want an item to last you don't buy it on sale, that old wives tale of 'Overstocked Item' is a gimmick
and remember to follow the item you purchased at full price. If all of a sudden the items price drops to half price, contact the manufacture to find out why, you may have a hidden problem, and if you contact them inside your warranty range you stand a good chance of receiving a voucher for a replacement model to keep you from getting to the point you are in currently. Good luck, and remember if it's on sale, you should reconsider how long you are going to long you need the product before you buy
it!!! Computer, Copier, Printer Technician 35 years..

Installing Tracking Tag in BigCommerce
If you use BigCommerce to host your online store, you'll need to correctly install the Perfect Audience site tracking tag and conversion code into your BigCommerce Settings.
1. Installing the Tag
|In your "Manage" menu
click User Tracking.
|Switch to your BigComerce dashboard.
Click Design.
|Click Edit HTML/CSS.
|In the window labeled "Files used by this template:" scroll down and select Footer.html.
|Scroll to the bottom of the code.
Paste the site tracking tag at the bottom of this page.
In the upper left corner, press Save.
Additional Tracking (Optional)
Dynamic Product Retargeting:
If you plan to use dynamic ads with your BigCommerce store, you'll need to modify the line of code beginning with "_pa.productId" in the site tracking tag. Remove the // and modify this line to look like this:
_pa.productId = "%%GLOBAL_ProductId%%";
Note: If you are using Dynamic Retargeting with BigCommerce, our tracking tag needs to be installed within the Snippet file "ProductAddtoCart.html" - or it needs to appear after that snippet has been called.
Order ID Tracking:
BigCommerce provides a variable for the Order ID of a specific order. Using this Order ID with your Perfect Audience conversions can help you match up the conversions tracked in your Perfect Audience account with orders through your BigCommerce store. To track an Order ID with your conversion goals, change the line of code beginning with "_pa.orderId" in the site tracking tag. Remove the // and modify this line to look like this:
_pa.orderId = "%%ORDER_ID%%";
Revenue Tracking:
If you wish to track sales amounts with your conversion goal, you can do this by modifying the line beginning with "_pa.revenue" in the site tracking tag. Remove the // in this line and modify this line using one of the following:
- %%ORDER_AMOUNT%% - The order total using dollars and cents
- %%ORDER_AMOUNT_IN_CENTS%% - The order total using cents only
- %%ORDER_SUBTOTAL%% - The order subtotal using dollars and cents
- %%ORDER_SUBTOTAL_IN_CENTS%% - The order subtotal using cents only
- %%ORDER_SUBTOTAL_DISCOUNTED%% - The order subtotal using dollars and cents, minus any discounts or coupon codes
- %%ORDER_SUBTOTAL_DISCOUNTED_IN_CENTS%% - The order subtotal using cents only, minus any discounts or coupon codes
_pa.revenue = "%%ORDER_SUBTOTAL%%";
Wait for the e-mail! Now that your tag is on your BigCommerce store, you will receive an e-mail when our system starts seeing data. You can also check back to the Site Tracking Tag page to see if data is being recived. This usually takes an hour or two. If you don't get an e-mail or see data on your tag page or Audiences page, double check that you've placed the tag in your web site code and pushed that code live. It can be easy to forget a simple step in there along the way.
If you have any problems, email email@example.com

Traveler Help
Back to articles
When media and communications consultancy firm Analysys Mason wanted their travellers to adopt online booking with the CWT To Go app, behaviour change was key.
Analysys Mason is benefiting from more efficient and convenient travel than ever before after successfully implementing a free app, CWT To Go.
Global specialist advisers in telecoms, media and technology, Analysys Mason was quick to grasp the advantages of the future-proof app for business travel that is offered by Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) to all its clients.
Analysys Mason executive assistant Karen Westdijk, who arranges travel for 150 employees, spearheaded a project to get them all using the app after identifying the potential time-saving benefits for her travellers and herself.
Karen understood that gaining internal buy-in was crucial but might not be easy. Her travellers were already using a variety of other apps for weather forecasts, booking taxis and finding hotels, but CWT To Go offers all this and much more in a 'one-stop shop'. The challenge would be to persuade them to switch from the familiar to the new.
Karen's first step towards achieving stakeholder engagement was getting senior management onboard. An opportunity came after her boss, Chris Stanford-Beale, got stuck at an airport. Karen pointed out that it would have been really helpful if he'd had the app, so he agreed to download it and give it a go.
The verdict from Chris, who is a partner at Analysys Mason in Cambridge, was: 'It's a rare gem!' This gave Karen the motivation to approach CEO Bram Moerman, who 'loved it as soon as he tried it'. Soon, senior managers were promoting it to their colleagues and Karen was receiving emails from people who wanted to know more about the 'wonderful app'.
Encouraging staff to download a particular app to their devices can be a challenge for any travel manager, but here Karen struck lucky. A mobile phone rollout was due, with everyone in the company set to receive a new iPhone. Bram asked the IT department to install CWT To Go on everyone's new phone.
Karen's next step was to encourage travellers to use the app by explaining the ease-of-use and benefits. With CWT To Go, travellers are equipped with mobile services that not only support compliance to preferred booking channels and suppliers but also give them the convenience and real-time trip information they need including flight status alerts, calendar sync, gate change notifications and mobile check-in.
Following the successful adoption of CWT To Go among Analysys Mason travellers, Karen is experiencing many of benefits herself. It has eliminated minor queries that would have come to her, especially from less experienced travellers, such as how and when to check in. If a traveller is stuck at an airport and there are gate changes, they don't call her to find out whether they have missed their flights as everything they need to know is on their own device.
Summing up the benefits of CWT To Go compared with industry rivals, Marc Tatossian, support analyst at Analysys Mason in London, said: 'CWT To Go is the ultimate itinerary app. What makes this app even more special than other itinerary apps is that you have everything you need to get started!'

A simple low-fat soup that's a fresh new way to use a bag of mixed leaves - it's rich in vitamin C, fibre, folate and calcium too
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, then cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
Tip in the potato followed by the veg stock. Simmer for 10-12 mins until the potato is soft enough that a cutlery knife will slide in easily. Add the bag of salad and let it wilt for 1 min, then blitz the soup in a blender until it's completely smooth.
Serve with a dollop of yogurt, some toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of chilli oil, if you like.

In this tutorial, you will learn:
If f(x) is a function and it changes its sign from +ve to -ve or vice versa in a certain range of x, then a root of the function exists within the same range. The following image shows it:
E.g.1Find a range of x in which a root for f(x) = x2 -x -3 exists.
f(x) = x2 -x -3 f(2) = 4 - 2 - 3 = -1 => -ve f(3) = 9 - 2 - 3 = 4 => +ve
Since there is a chagne in sign in the range, 2≤ x ≤3, a root of the function exists in the same range.
Sometimes, there is not a change in sign, yet there will be a root in a particular region. On the other hand, a change in sign does not necessarily indicate the existance of a root within a range. The following images illustrate this:
If f(x) = 0 and it can be rearranged in such a way that x = g(x), where both f(x) and g(x) are functions of x, x = g(x) is said to be in iterative form.
x2 - x - 6 = 0
Let's make 'x' the subject of this equation; there are three possibilities:
In the above iterations, g(x) = √(6 + x) or g(x) = x2- 6 or g(x) = 1 + 6 / x.
When the above equation - x2 -x - 6 = 0 - is written in one of the above forms
with 'x' being the subject, they are said to be in an iterative form. That means, when the a value is substituted
for 'x' on the right hand side the value of 'x' on the left can be obtained.
Then the latter is put back in the equation to generate the other value. This
goes on until, x approaches a constant value. This
value is taken as a solution. Therefore, the actual iterative formula takes the following form, depending on the
The first value of x - x0 - is taken from a range of possibilities - guesses. Now let's solve one of the
above equations using iteration.
xn+1 = √(6 + xn)

Have you noticed the
way 'x' values approach the solution? The longer you go the better. You can now see the
beauty of iteration; it helps us to find the solution of an equation; since we
have different forms of iteration, we can use each one of them to find some of the roots, if not all.
Of course, in this simple example, a quadratic function was used for illustration. Iteration is generally used for higher polynomials such as cubic functions and more complex functions.
Find a root of the function, x3 + 4x - 3 by iteration.
f(x) = x3 + 4x - 3
f(0) = -3; f(1) = 2 => There is a change in sign between x = 0 and x = 1; therefore, a root could exist in the range.
Now, let's make the iterative formuala.
x3 + 4x - 3 = 0
x = (3 - x3)/4
xn+1 = (3 - xn3)/4
Let x0, the initial value = 0.
x1 = 0.5
x2 = 0.71875
x3 = 0.65717
x4 = 0.67904
x5 = 0.67172
x6 = 0.67422
x7 = 0.673377...
So, the root is approximately, x = 0.673 (3 d.p.).
The following animation shows how to use Microsoft Excel in finding a root of a function by iteration.
Find a root of the function, f(x) = x3 + 3x - 5 by iteration.
xn+1 = (5 - xn3)/3
f(1) = -1 => -ve; f(2) = 9 => +ve;
So, there must be a root between x = 1 and x = 2. The iteration will find it.
Let x0 = 1.
As you can see, x = 1.67 is a root to 2 d.p.
Practice is the key to mastering maths; please visit this page, for more worksheets.
Please work out the following questions to complement what you have just learnt.
You can experiment with iteration here: change the value of x0 in x-nought and the number of iterations in no_iterations and experiment with it.

I Have To Find My Star - Poem by Amjad Islam Amjad
In the emptiness
Of skies, filled with
Innumerable stars,
I have to find the
Star that belongs
To me.
Galaxies beyond galaxies, filled with wonder,
I know no name, nor a sign do I remember.
All I remember,
That on the very first morn,
When thestars embarked
Through early light of dawn
Through the vastness of skies,
Another star glittered
In her wondering eyes,
Similar to that star,
I too carry a dream in my tearful eyes,
Embellish it with tears like stars in the skies,
And keep on waiting
For you to pass by.
Lost things, they say,
Are sometimes found
In the same amalgmation
Of dust, where once
They were lost.
I too have to find the
Star that belongs to me.

We certainly have developed a sense of entitlement these days! A good friend from my home state recently told me about my former neighborhood which is in an old, historic area of town. There was a popular restaurant which had been oddly located in the center of this lovely old residential area. It had been there since the 1930's when the town was really beginning to grow and thrive. Six years ago, the owners decided that it was time to finally close the restaurant and retire. Well, it wasn't long before a developer purchased this excellent property and began making plans to tear the old building down (believe me, it had no historical or architectural significance!) and build luxury condominiums. The neighborhood responded with an all-out attack and to make a long story short, demanded that the city never allow zoning for anything other than a restaurant. No one objected to the building being removed, they objected to the zoning change that would have brought "newcomers" into the old area of the city where homes had been handed down for generations. The city acquiesced and the neighborhood won. Eventually, another fine restaurant set up residence on the site, but met a quick end when a fire gutted the building. For two years the burned hull of the building sat black and charred. Now, word is, a bar and grill complete with wet t-shirt contests and scantily clad women will be moving into the building as soon as possible. You can be sure that the "blue bloods" are not happy about this but even they realize that this is the unfortunate result of their previous resistance to "newcomers".
There are times when neighborhoods must stand up and say that something or someone should not become a new resident, but those times are rare and few. For instance, I would definitely support a neighborhood with children who opposed the construction of a half-way house for sex offenders... but it isn't resistance to real dangers that I hear people lamenting. It is resistance to having things "beneath" them that they lament about and fight against. Why is it that some of us feel that we are above everyone else, and that we should be treated as special?

9 August in the United States celebrated the day with a somewhat unusual name — Day Dymnyashki, called Smokey Bear Day.
Dymnyashka — it's cute bear, warning of the danger of forest fires, the symbol of the U.S. Forest Service (US Forest Service). On television series "Save the forest fire" bear portrayed in a hat and jeans and utters the phrase, "Only you can prevent forest fires» (Only you can prevent forest fires).
Forest Service, the major campaigns in the history of America, was established in 1905 and is a department of the USDA. Forest Service monitors the public lands in forests and grass areas, which cover an area of ??193 million acres.
Bear DymnyashkaZhivym embodiment, the organization has served as a symbol of the history of 1950. So one fine spring day in the mountains of New Mexico with the fire tower was seen smoke rising from the forest clubs. The strong wind blew the fire rapidly quickly. Everyone who could, took part in extinguishing the fire, from the security services and ending the locals.
Suddenly firefighters saw a small bear. They decided to leave it alone, because they thought that the mother-bear come for him.
A few hours later the fire was extinguished. Local residents and firefighters again found the bear alone. He hid in a wide hollow of a tree. His feet were bleeding from burns.
This story was leaked to the press soon. People wrote letters to the Department to find out how it feels to bear. Soon he was transferred to the National Zoo in Washington. So he became a living symbol of the National Society for the Protection of Nature of fires.

Madonna : Like an Icon Paperback
by Lucy O'Brien
Madonna is the biggest female pop star in the world yet there is no serious biography of her, and no biography at all by a woman.
Existing books are either gossipy style manuals or rehashes of press cuttings and they all end in 2001 with Madonna's marriage to Guy Ritchie.
Yet her story hardly ends there, as evinced by her two record breaking world tours since then... Lucy O'Brien's extensive and well-researched biography will look at Madonna the artist, giving detailed analysis of her music, complete with revealing interviews with musicians and producers.
It will focus on her cultural impact and the way she uses cinema, photography, visual art, theatre and dance in her work.
It will take an in-depth look at how - and, more to the point, why - Madonna has reinvented herself through her twenties, thirties, forties and will no doubt do so again in her fifties.
It will also look at the wider context and include interviews with similarly crusading female artists like Tori Amos, Laurie Anderson, Jeanette Winterson and Tracey Emin. This will be, quite simply, the definitive Madonna biography.

How Jack Started O'Neill Sea Odyssey
In 1983, Jack and Tim O'Neill traveled to Sand City, nestled among the sand dunes just north of Monterey, to retrieve an unfinished sailing catamaran they'd purchased. It was transported to the Santa Cruz harbor, where its renovation was overseen by Joel Woods.
Thus, the Team O'Neill catamaran began a journey to its primary use today. By 1996 it began to take part in Jack O'Neill's vision to take youth onto Monterey Bay to learn about the marine environment. The vision took shape when Tim O'Neill, Jim Holm, Mike Egan, Theresa Coyle and Jack McLaughlin, among others, began to develop a school science program. Dan Haifley joined the nonprofit program in 1999 as director of science program consisting of an ocean field trip supplemented a community service project for each participating class and curriculum used in the classroom.

Charities, Shelters See Wave of Homeless Families
Saturday, August 15, 2009
PONTIAC, Mich. -- The lowest point in Lawanda Madden's life came in February, when she woke up on the floor of her friend's run-down house in this city battered by recession. She was shivering with cold. She remembers turning to her 8-year-old son, Jovon, and thinking: "How did this happen to us? How did we become homeless?"
Only 15 months before, Madden, 39, had a $35,000-a-year job, a two-bedroom apartment and a car. She was far from rich, but she could treat Jovon to the movies. She occasionally visited her sister in Chicago and bowled in a local league. She dreamed of going to law school. Then she was laid off and lost everything.
"I've had a job since I was 19," she recalled. "I never imagined I would be without a home. You think it's going to get better -- that it's just temporary -- and then six months goes by, and you wonder, 'Wait a minute -- this might be it.' "
With neat hair and clean clothes, a college education and stable job history, Madden represents the new face of American homelessness.
Across the country, community housing networks, charities and emergency shelters are seeing a flood of people like her -- mothers driven out of their homes by the economic collapse. Even as the economy shows signs of improving, the number of homeless families keeps going up. In more and more cases, these people have never been homeless before.
More than half a million family members used an emergency shelter or transitional housing between Oct. 1, 2007, and Oct. 1, 2008, the latest figures available from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The number of homeless families rose 9 percent, and in rural and suburban areas by 56 percent. Women make up 81 percent of adults in homeless families, and tend to be younger than 30 with children younger than 5.
In some areas of the country, family homelessness has almost tripled since 2007, new figures obtained by The Washington Post show. Formerly prosperous areas such as Bergen County, N.J., and Hillsboro, Ore., have been particularly affected, with increases of 161 percent and 194 percent, respectively. Oakland County, where Madden lives, has experienced a 111 percent jump in the number of families seeking shelter or emergency housing since 2007.
"And it's going to get worse," said Marc Craig, president of the Community Housing Network in Oakland County. "Thousands of people here will lose their unemployment benefit in the next few months. Many of them will become homeless."
The Obama administration announced last month a $1.5 billion package focused on tackling first-time and family homelessness. The funding, which lasts for three years, represents a change from President George W. Bush's approach, which limited most HUD funding to the chronically homeless with substance-abuse or mental-health problems.
"There's been a funding gap for a long time," Craig said. "It's good there's been a change in approach, but the new money is just a Band-Aid. It's got to continue."
The shift is also evidenced in the District, where the number of homeless families is listed as 703, a 20 percent increase over last year. But these figures -- like the HUD statistics -- heavily underestimate the number of homeless families, experts say, as they do not count those who cram themselves and their children into friends' houses, "couch surf," or sleep four to a bed in cheap motel rooms built for single occupancy.
"Families, especially, are likely to explore every option before they stay in a shelter," said Jill Shoemaker, who collects homelessness data for the Community Housing Network in Oakland County. "We just have no way of counting them at the moment."

American citizen, Anwar Al-Awlaki was assassinated in a drone strike in Yemen on Friday. The United States government had labelled Al-Awlaki a radical cleric and had placed him on a targeted-killing list. Al-Awlaki is believed to have been at the helm of al-Qaeda operations in the Arabian Peninsula. While the Obama administration is being feted for dealing a fatal blow against the terrorist organisation, the killing has dredged up tired concerns about extrajudicial killings in the name of fighting terrorism. By KHADIJA PATEL.
Anwar Al-Awlaki was alleged to have been a moderate who turned radical, a cleric who drummed the call to arms against the much-reviled Americans. Yet, Al-Awlaki was himself an American citizen. He was born in 1971 in New Mexico where his father was studying agricultural economics. He lived in the US until the age of seven, and then returned with his family to Yemen. After pursuing Islamic studies as a teenager, he returned to the US to read for a civil engineering degree from Colorado State University and later, a master's in education at San Diego State. It was religious leadership, however, that earned him a substantial following in the United States. After the September 11 terror attacks, Al-Awlaki was interviewed several times about his ties with three of the hijackers – he had met at least two of them, Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, at a San Diego mosque in 2000. The "September 11 Commission" report further revealed that Al-Awlaki was investigated by the FBI in 1999 and 2000. None of the investigations led to criminal charges against him and Al-Awlaki was actually invited to the Pentagon in 2001 as part of the American military's outreach program to the Muslim community. In 2004, however, as Al-Awlaki began to grow increasingly hostile to the US, he returned to his ancestral home in Yemen.
Al-Awlaki was billed by GQ magazine as "the next Bin Laden" but he never quite succeeded in surpassing the threat of Bin Laden in the conscience of the American public. Successive American governments though have grown increasingly wary of him. Al-Awlaki was fingered as the brain behind a number of terror plots.
In August 2006, Al-Awlaki was detained by the Yemeni authorities, reportedly on charges relating to a plot to kidnap a US military attache. He claimed to have been interviewed by FBI agents during his subsequent 18 months in prison, and believed the US had asked the Yemeni authorities to prolong his detention. Following an intercession by his tribe, Al-Awlaki was released by Yemeni authorities, only for his repertoire for terror to escalate. He was directly linked to two terror attacks on the US in 2009. Email exchanges between Al-Awlaki and the accused Fort Hood shooter gunman, Nidal Hasan, confirmed that it was Al-Awlaki in his position as an al-Qaeda leader who was the inspiration for the massacre at a Texas army base that left 13 people dead.
In a May 2010 video, Al-Awlaki described the Fort Hood shooting as a "heroic and wonderful act". Just one month before the release of that video, the Obama administration had placed al-Awlaki on the CIA's target list. His was the dubious honour of being the first American on the target list. Compounding the American government's stand against Al-Awlaki, the US treasury department named Awlaki as "specially designated global terrorist" and blocked his assets. It became a crime for Americans to do business with him. Civil rights groups condemned the US government for targeting an American citizen without due processes. Al-Awlaki's family was similarly outraged, but their plans to launch legal action against the US military was scuppered by the US Treasury which refused to allow the family to raise funds for the legal action as it would ultimately benefit Al-Awlaki.
Al-Awlaki, meanwhile, proved elusive. He escaped several assassination attempts by the US unmanned drone campaign and the Yemeni army. His luck ran out last Friday. According to the Sunday Telegraph, Al-Awlaki met his end, "as he and his comrades chewed dates and drank traditional Yemeni tea". The drone had found its mark this time.
Al-Awlaki's death is described to be a huge blow against al-Qaeda operations in the Arabian Peninsula. The terror organisation has suffered the loss of several key members this year. US President Barack Obama has emerged triumphant.
Civil rights activists, however, have been enraged. They argue that Al-Awlaki, as an American citizen, was entitled to a fair trial before being summarily assassinated. No less than presidential hopeful Ron Paul launched a bitter diatribe against Obama for the killing. Writing in the New York Daily News, the outspoken Republican politician said Obama was acting outside "the Constitution or the rule of law" when he ordered Friday's drone strike on Al-Awlaki. "Awlaki was a US citizen. Under our Constitution, American citizens, even those living abroad, must be charged with a crime before being sentenced," he wrote.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has also raised concerns about the way in which Al-Awlaki was pursued. "The American Muslim community firmly repudiated Anwar al-Awlaki's incitement to violence, which occurred after he left the United States. While a voice of hate has been eliminated, we urge our nation's leaders to address the constitutional issues raised by the assassination of American citizens without due process of law," CAIR said in a statement on Friday. Writing in The New York Times on Sunday, prominent American Muslim cleric Yasir Qadhi said, "The accusations against him were very serious, but as a citizen, he deserved a fair trial and the chance to face his accusers in a court of law. Whether he deserved any punishment for his speech was a decision that a jury should have made, not the executive branch of our government. The killing of this American citizen is not only unconstitutional, but hypocritical and counterproductive."
In South Africa, where Al-Awlaki has enjoyed some measure of popularity for his eloquent narrations of Islamic history on the internet as well as community radio, many Muslims refuse to comment on Al-Awlaki's death for fear of being marked as terrorist supporters. Some South African Muslims remain doubtful about Al-Awlaki's reputation as a terrorist, claiming that there has been no evidence to demonstrate Al-Awlaki's actual participation in terror plots against his countrymen.
US government officials continue to insist that Al-Awlaki played a significant operational role in a number of terrorist plots against the United States and called for violence against American men, women and children. Under pressure from civil rights activists to reveal its proof of Al-Awlaki's role in terror plots, the US government has indicated that it will not present its evidence against Al-Awlaki in public. The debate about the legality of his killing is however set to rage on for some time yet. DM

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, implemented sweeping reforms, including laws on religious attire, to give women more freedom and help realize his vision of a secular nation-state. The strong secular tradition established by Ataturk still holds firm today, but in recent years the republic has been experiencing revival of Islamic fundamentalism. Mustafa Karaduman, CEO of an Islamic-style clothing chain, hopes to contribute to the resurgence of Islam by dressing more Turkish women in traditional, but more fashionable, clothing. In this segment from the Wide Angle film "Turkey's Tigers," learn more about Karaduman and how Turkey's laws have imposed restrictions on on how Muslim women are allowed to dress.

OpenShift provides a single Namespace containing all the ImageStreams that could be considered part of the platform: all these images are maintained and provided by OpenShift Origin, CentOS, Software Collections Library or Red Hat.
One separate Namespace for your Images
It could be considered a good practice, to separate all the ImageStreams provided by your own organization into one namespace, declaring them to be the "officially supported ACME Corp container images". Let's call this namespace 'acme-corp' throughout this article. These container images from 'acme-corp' could be provided and maintained by ACME Corp's IT DevOps Team. You can read more on the interfaces between Dev and Ops on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Blog.
Accessing them just like they are from 'openshift' namespace
OpenShift references Images (the OpenShift configuration item not the container image itself) in many situations: as part of a BuildConfig or as part of a DeploymentConfig, for example to start a new deployment when an ImageChange trigger is received from an ImageStreamTag.
To receive these triggers, and to use/pull a container image from a different namespace, some configurations need to be done:
- Project A (the project using the image from our officially supported ACME Corp container images namespace) must be authorized to pull images
- each project needs to be authorized to pull images from there
- This configuration must be automated
Granting access from specific actions between namespaces could be accomplished by using
oc adm add-role-to-group system:image-puller system:serviceaccounts:project-a -n acme-corp
This will enable project A to pull images from any ImageStream in namespace acme-corp. You might repeat that for each project that shall be allowed to access 'acme-corp', but if we assume that all projects shall be granted access to 'acme-corp' ImageStream, a more elegant way is to modify the project template of OpenShift.
Configuring your Project Template
Modifying OpenShift's template for projects is a simple operation:
- a template must be created within the default namespace, and
- the master must be reconfigured to use this template
So let's see what the default project template looks like. It is embedded with OpenShift, so we can not find it somewhere on disk, we need to get it out and create a file to store it: `oc adm create-bootstrap-project-template -o yaml > acme-project-template.yaml`. To create (or later on replace) a template in OpenShift use `oc create -f acme-project-template.yaml`.
What you see within this template is a set of defaults configured by OpenShift for each project that gets created. And what we want to achieve is that each newly created project has access to ImageStreams in 'acme-corp' namespace. To grant that access we need to extend the `system:image-pullers` RoleBinding. This is basically the same activity show above: `oc adm add-role-to-group …`
Here you see the complete RoleBinding configuration item including access to namespace 'acme-corp'. You can find the complete project template as a gitlab snippet.
- kind: RoleBinding apiVersion: v1 groupNames: - system:serviceaccounts:acme-corp - system:serviceaccounts:${PROJECT_NAME} metadata: name: system:image-pullers namespace: ${PROJECT_NAME} roleRef: name: system:image-puller subjects: - kind: SystemGroup name: system:serviceaccounts:${PROJECT_NAME} userNames: null
Next: `oc replace -f acme-project-template.yaml` to replace/update the template within OpenShift.
Half way done, we only need to tell the OpenShift master to use this template for each newly created project. Keep in mind, if you are running more than one OpenShift Master, you need to do it on each master, as we will modify `/etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml`. And if you are using `oc cluster up`, there is no `master-config.yaml` on your local disk.
What we need to do is to replace the empty definition of `{"projectConfig":{"projectRequestTemplate"}}` with a value of `"default/project-request"`.
I will leave it to the read how to achieve this goal in the most efficient way, maybe you use openshift-ansible or dsh… in the end, we need to reconfigure and restart all OpenShift Masters.
New Project defaults
Each project we create from now on will have access to ImageStreams within the 'acme-corp' namespace. Let's validate:
[goern]$ oc new-project is-testing Now using project "is-testing" on server "https://openshift.example.com". [...] [goern]$ oc get is No resources found. [goern]$ oc get is -n openshift NAME DOCKER REPO TAGS UPDATED registry...com/jboss-fuse-6/fis-karaf-openshift latest,2.0,1.0 + 2 more... 2 weeks ago jboss-amq-62 registry...com/jboss-amq-6/amq62-openshift 1.1,1.1-2,latest + 2 more... 2 weeks ago [...] [goern]$ oc get is -n acme-corp NAME DOCKER REPO TAGS UPDATED redis 172.30.142.230:5000/acme-corp/redis latest 6 minutes ago
At this point we are able to use the 'redis' ImageStream out of 'acme-corp' namespace. Well done.
By customizing OpenShift Master's projectConfig, we can not only use a custom project template to grant access from newly created project to other namespaces per default, we can also setting cluster wide node selectors, or configure the level of overcommitment.
Have Fun!

The Biology of Being Exhausted
Growing up, my mother used to say, "We're a napping family". As a little kid, I accepted that and laid down to take my naps. My mom and I napped almost every day of my childhood until I went to first grade. It turns out she knew what many great parents know or eventually figure out: crabby kids and unhappy stressed out moms show up for dinner, instead of the loving people they really are when well rested. What she discovered for our family is that exhaustion is a function of the adrenal reserves in need of "refueling".
Most of us experience adrenal exhaustion on a daily basis. In fact, if the title of this article drew you in: you probably have it as well. Today, it is common for many Americans to:
- Grab a cup of coffee for energy to start the day and consume caffeinated drinks or sugary snacks to try to sustain their energy throughout the day.
- Go to bed late, wake up early, and push through fatigue instead of laying down to rest.
- Choose food based on convenience versus nutritional value.
- Be on the run while eating, paying little attention to eating without stress and chewing food well.
Dr. John Tinterra, a doctor who specialized in adrenal function, surmised in 1969 that 66% of the public could be classified as having severe adrenal exhaustion. That was before the internet, mobile phones, online gaming, lack of physical education in school and the need for us to be on top of information exponentially increased. This applies to both children and adults. Let's face it, we are a society of fast food eaters (white, starchy, sugary, salty, and creamy), putting more onto the calendar than is humanly possible, and not stopping to refresh or reset our heart and minds (even for 10 minutes!). These things throw the biology of the body out of balance, affecting our sympathetic nervous system and adrenal function.
Adrenal Stress – What are some of the signs?
- Energy crashes at different points in the day
- Low self esteem due to low energy output
- Feeling anxious
- Craving sugar or salt
- Dilated pupils
- Poor appetite in the morning
- Decreased tolerance to cold
- Sensitivity to lights and loud noises
- Apathy
- Disturbed sleep
- Low blood sugar episodes
- Low levels of gastric hydrochloric acid
- Sluggish bowels
- Histamine imbalance
- Unreasonable fears, due to low energy and possibly high copper toxicity
The adrenal glands are rounded disc-shaped glands about 3-4 inches across. One sits on top of each kidney, located on either side of your lower back, just above where your ribs end. They secrete a number of hormones that prepare our bodies to respond to stress, and they are essential for life.
Change Your Biology
Many of us have become adept at overriding the signals that the adrenals give us when they need replenishing with rest, good food, and water. To begin to unravel adrenal exhaustion you may want to consider restoring and fortifying your adrenals by adding any of the following into your week:
- Loving Energy®, a supreme adrenal tonic based on an ancient formulation created by Taoist monks. These monks would keep a pot of this tea going all day in the kitchen. Several times a day, when they took a break from their prayers and studies, they would drink a cup. Enjoy the full and thirst quenching flavors of schizandra berries, licorice, spirit reishi mushroom and eleuthero ginseng.
- Liver Life®, a superior liver formula, supports healthy regulation of stress hormones by the liver.
- A 20-minute power nap, the optimal amount of time most supported by research. Set an alarm; turn off the "beeps" of electronic notifications. Add 5–10 minutes to allow time for relaxation for the actual nap. Choose a relaxation ritual for yourself to signal your mind that it's okay to fall asleep. Do not go over 30-40 minutes as this may create deep sleep and cause what's called sleep inertia.
- Decrease caffeine products, slowly but surely. You will have a huge amount of energy after 7 days decreasing and ultimately eliminating caffeine and replacing it with herbs or food that replenish the adrenal energy.
- Increase intake of adrenal or yin forming food and herbs: Water, salty flavored foods (miso soup, sea salt, salted raw sauerkraut or kimchi) kidney shaped food (black beans, kidney beans – most beans), blue and black food (blueberries, blackberries, mulberries), seafood (fish, shrimp, seaweeds), seeds (flax, pumpkin, sunflower, black sesame), nuts (walnuts, chestnuts), animal products (pork, duck, lamb, eggs, and cheese), bone-marrow broths and soups, grains (barley, millet), vegetables (asparagus, deep green leafy vegetables, celery, and cucumber), tonics (chlorella and kelp), moistening herbs (nettles, oatstraw, marshmallow, slippery elm, comfrey, aloe vera gel, rehmannia root, coix).
I'm reminded of a little girl crying and her brother asks with annoyance, "Did you have your nap today?" Irritated, the little girl replies, "No!" We are all susceptible to over extending ourselves. These 5 easy steps will make a huge difference with how you perceive what is going on in your world. Happy napping!
Tips: A Quick Start to Power Napping
- Play your favorite power nap soundtrack.
- Find a comfortable position.
- Slowly relax each part of your body.
- Clear your mind.
- Slow down your breathing; breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

When we decided to dedicate a section of issue 13 to the topic of Climate Change, I knew it would raise a lot of strong emotions in our staff, our contributors and our readers. I personally wondered at what point my own response–fear, lament, anger, helplessness, panic– would switch on. Would it happen as I read through the excellent poetry submissions? Or maybe during a conversation with my staff about the overall shape we wanted for the issue? It could easily have happened while noticing the too-hot fall we had here in Pittsburgh this year. Someone said, "Soon fall will go all the way to December."
I'll tell you when it did happen: while on vacation in San Diego this past November. My family traveled there to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my husband's parents. Have you been to San Diego? If you have then you know it has a truly heavenly climate. It's almost surreal. The air is warm but not hot and smells like rosemary and jasmine. It also has the glorious Pacific Coast Highway–or California State Route 1–that we drove from Solana Beach where my in-laws live down past gorgeous Torrey Pines to visit the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography on the last day of the trip.
It's a super kid-friendly spot and mine loved sticking their hands in the tide pools and playing in the shark's mouth. Great photo ops are usually had.
But on this trip, with The Fourth River in the back of my mind, I was struck rather hard by one of the inside exhibits–on climate change. My daughter and I walked through, turned handles and pressed buttons to answer quizzes about conservation. We peered into the tanks that showed the vibrancy of our oceans' ecosystems:
We watched the yellow fish for a long while and my daughter was especially fascinated by the "pink bubbly thing." I don't remember if I sought out its proper name–it was enough that she was enjoying and enraptured. Amazing how even inside of a small glass tank the ocean is still impossibly strange and mesmerizing.
Of course, I knew we were looking at the "before" tank and that in another few steps we'd be confronted by something quite different:
"Wait. In 25 years the coral is going to die? All of it?"
She is eight and very affected by issues of mortality just now. And there I was, a mother with all the dire knowledge she is only beginning to comprehend, and I have to try to answer in a way that is both true and also not terrifyingly hopeless.
We stared at the bleached out landscape and I said the only thing I could,
"I don't know. It's possible. I hope not."
She stared harder at the tank. She gets a deep concentration line in between her eyes when she's thinking. When she's determined.
"But we can make the coral okay?"
I don't know.
It's possible.
Let's hope so.

|Cantab Anna Rose Watkins, MBE, Gold Medalist,
Double Sculls, 2012 Olympics
Her rowing career shows the importance of college-level rowing as a way into the sport for those who didn't participate before the university level.
This is a sport I participated in at Oxford–without no such stellar collegiate record. My post-collegiate rowing was limited to leisure and alumni-fun events but my late friend Peter Darrow rowed seriously long after he took his degree at Oxford.
Watkins went from college rowing at Cambridge to a gold medal in the double sculls in the Olympics (London, 2012). Watkins with Katherine Grainger broke the Olympic record in the semi-final.
At the prior (2008) Olympics she won a bronze in the same sport and won four medals in the World Championships, most recently defending her world title with Katherine Grainger, in Bled, Slovenia in 2011.
Watkins attended Westwood College and read Natural Sciences at Newnham College, Cambridge, where she started rowing in 2001. Watkins rowed with Newnham College Boat Club and was captain of lower boats and then secretary for the club. She represents Leander Club in rowing events. At Cambridge, her college crew were Head of the Cam in 2003 before she moved onto the World Class Start talent identification program run by UK Sport based at Rob Roy Boat Club.
She is currently working for a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Reading. In September 2009 she married Oliver Watkins, a part-time rowing coach, who when they met was working for a Ph.D. in engineering at Cambridge. The couple live in Wokingham, where Oliver works for the McLaren Formula One team as a suspension specialist. Anna has given birth to two boys–William James in 2013 and Richard Dexter in 2015.
In 2010 Watkins with Katherine Grainger had an unbeaten season culminating in their victory at the World Championships in New Zealand. They were named World Rowing Female Crew of the year and also the Sunday Times Women's Sports Team of the year for 2010.
Watkins was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to rowing.
