A Meta-Analysis of Aortic Root Size in Elite AthletesClinical Perspective
Jump to
Background—The aorta is exposed to hemodynamic stress during exercise, but whether or not the aorta is larger in athletes is not clear. We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to examine whethere athletes demonstrate increased aortic root dimensions compared with nonathlete controls.
Methods and Results—We searched MEDLINE and Scopus from inception through August 12, 2012, for English-language studies reporting the aortic root size in elite athletes. Two investigators independently extracted athlete and study characteristics. A multivariate linear mixed model was used to conduct meta-regression analyses. We identified 71 studies reporting aortic root dimensions in 8564 unique athletes, but only 23 of these studies met our criteria by reporting aortic root dimensions at the aortic valve annulus or sinus of Valsalva in elite athletes (n=5580). Athletes were compared directly with controls (n=727) in 13 studies. On meta-regression, the weighted mean aortic root diameter measured at the sinuses of Valsalva was 3.2 mm (P=0.02) larger in athletes than in the nonathletic controls, whereas aortic root size at the aortic valve annulus was 1.6 mm (P=0.04) greater in athletes than in controls.
Conclusions—Elite athletes have a small but significantly larger aortic root diameter at the sinuses of Valsalva and aortic valve annulus, but this difference is minor and clinically insignificant. Clinicians evaluating athletes should know that marked aortic root dilatation likely represents a pathological process and not a physiological adaptation to exercise.
Athletic training induces changes in cardiac structure commonly described as the athlete's heart. These changes can include enlargement of all 4 cardiac chambers1,2 and are considered benign physiological adaptations to the hemodynamic load associated with systemic training.2 The cardiac adaptations to different forms of athletic conditioning tend to produce disparate morphological forms of the athlete's heart. Endurance training, such as distance running, mimics volume overload and produces increased cardiac chamber diameters and volumes, whereas strength training mimics pressure overload and is associated with increased left ventricular wall thickness. These differences are not a rigid, dichotomous classification but rather a spectrum,3,4 and some studies show that the wall thickness changes attending strength training disappear after adjustment for body size.5 It has been hypothesized that the hemodynamic load during exercise and particularly pressure overload during strength training may also lead to aortic remodeling.6,7 The cardiac adaptations induced by athletic conditioning have been the subject of numerous studies, but investigations of the aorta in athletes have been limited, and it is not clear whether the hemodynamic overload during exercise training affects aortic root dimensions. Aortic dissection and rupture are occasional8,9 but rare causes of sudden death in athletes,10,11 and such events increase with increasing aortic diameter in nonathletes. Furthermore, bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most frequent congenital cardiac anomaly, occurring in 1% to 2% of the entire population,12 and is associated with aortic root dilatation and aortic dissection or rupture.13 Because the effect of exercise training on aortic size and therefore the risk of aortic complications are unclear, we performed a systematic review of the medical literature and applied meta-analytic techniques to determine whether either endurance or strength training is associated with increased aortic dimensions.

Data Source and Searches
We searched MEDLINE and Scopus from its inception through August 12, 2012, using the following search terms: athlete, athletes, athletic, athletic performance, athletic training, sports person, sports persons, heart, hearts, aorta, aortic, aortic root, ventricle, ventricles, and atrium (Appendix I in the online-only Data Supplement). In addition, we manually reviewed the references of included studies and of review articles and meta-analyses on the athlete's heart to identify additional articles not found by the initial search.
Study Selection
Studies had to meet the following criteria to be included: (1) explicitly stated that the evaluated athletes were elite competing at an international or national level (including National Collegiate Athletic Association); (2) reported absolute mean aortic root diameter measured at the aortic valve annulus or at the sinuses of Valsalva; (3) mean age of the study cohort was between 15 and 40 years; and (4) reported a measure of statistical variance (SD, SE, or confidence interval). Study arms that included nonelite athletes or children, reported populations that potentially overlapped with other studies, or did not report a measure of statistical variance for the aortic root data were excluded. One investigator performed article screening and selection. We first screened citations and then reviewed the full text of all titles and abstracts indicating that investigators evaluated the heart in athletes with echocardiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. For 26 studies, authors were contacted to request missing data because these articles did not specify where the aortic root was measured; sufficient responses were received for 20 of 26 studies.
Data Extraction
Two investigators independently performed the data extraction, with discrepancies resolved by consensus. We classified the athletes into strength, endurance, and combined groups according to the intensity level of the static and dynamic components.3 Heterogeneous groups of athletes of different sports classifications were categorized as mixed. In longitudinal exercise training studies, the aortic root diameter after the longest exercise exposure was used.
Data Synthesis and Analysis
Aortic dimensions were pooled with the use of meta-analytic methods. Random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regression analyses were conducted to determine how exercise and other important study characteristics influenced root dimensions. A multivariate linear mixed model was used to conduct meta-regression analyses. We conducted separate analyses for aortic dimensions measured at the aortic valve annulus and at the sinuses of Valsalva. Both random and fixed effects were used for meta-regression, which was weighted by the inverse of the variance of the aortic root diameter.15 Fixed effects were assumed for study-level factors, including participant type (athlete/control), gender, and country of study origin. We also performed subgroup analysis of studies including only endurance- or strength-trained athletes when sample size permitted determination of the impact of these forms of exercise training on aortic root diameter.
We constructed a funnel plot of the SE versus the aortic root diameter to evaluate publication bias using StatsDirect version 2.7.9 (StatsDirect Ltd, Cheshire, UK). The funnel plot was examined visually and tested for asymmetry with Egger's test.16 Heterogeneity across studies was assessed by calculating I2 statistics, which measure the proportion of overall variation that is attributable to between-study heterogeneity rather than chance. I2 statistic >50% was defined as significant.17 Statistical analysis was performed with the use of SAS (PROC MIXED) version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC), with statistical significance set at 0.05.
Our systematic search identified 25|198 nonduplicate citations, and, from these, 850 full-text articles were identified for review (Figure 1). Of these, 827 were excluded for various reasons but most commonly because aortic diameter measurement was not reported. We identified 71 studies reporting absolute aortic root dimensions in 8564 unique athletes. However, we excluded 48 of these studies because they (1) included nonelite athletes in their study cohort (n=30); (2) did not specify the location of aortic root measurement (n=9); (3) measured the aortic root at locations other than the sinus of Valsalva or aortic valve annulus (n=8); or (4) included athletes with mean age >40 years (n=1). A final total of 23 studies met our inclusion criteria,7,18–39 with athletes directly compared with controls in 13 studies.7,18,20–23,27,29,33,35,36,38,39
The identified studies included 19 cross-sectional and 4 longitudinal studies conducted in Europe (n=14), the United States (n=6), Africa (n=2), and Iran (n=1). Across the studies, aortic root dimensions were reported in 5580 unique elite athletes comprised of 1506 endurance-trained athletes, 425 strength-trained athletes, 213 combined endurance- and strength-trained athletes, and a heterogeneous group of 3436 athletes with mixed training. Our analysis included 727 controls. Sample sizes ranged from 11 to 1403 participants, and echocardiography was used to measure aortic root size in all studies. Aortic root was measured at the aortic valve annulus in 15 studies7,18–20,23–25,27,28,30,31,34,36,38,39 and at the sinuses of Valsalva in 12 studies.7,21–24,26,28,29,32,33,35,37 (Tables 1 and2).
In the 13 studies that directly compared athletes with controls, there were variations in the degree of matching; 11 studies matched for age, and 3 studies explicitly stated that they matched for body size.7,27,35 One study stated that the 2 arms were matched without further specification,20 and 2 studies did not report whether the study arms were matched.18,36 Of the 10 studies that did not explicitly state whether they matched for body size, 4 studies provided mean values for body surface area (BSA) and/or height in controls that were either greater than or not significantly different from the values in the athletes.18,20,33,38 In 4 studies, mean values for BSA and/or height were significantly greater in athletes than in their controls,21–23,29 and 2 studies did not statistically compare body size measurements.36,39
Most studies did not specify whether athletes with BAV were included, although 2 and 4 studies, respectively, explicitly included32,33 or excluded7,23,24,28 subjects with BAV. The incidence of athletes with BAV was 0.1% in both studies that included such athletes. Similarly, the majority of studies (21 of 23) did not state whether athletes with Marfan syndrome were included or excluded from the study cohort, and only 2 studies explicitly stated that they excluded patients with Marfan syndrome (1 athlete in each study, resulting in the incidence of Marfan syndrome of 0.1% to 2% in those 2 athletic cohorts).
Weighted mean aortic root dimensions in men generated by univariate subgroup analysis were 31.6 mm (95% confidence interval, 30.2–33.1) at the sinuses of Valsalva and 30.8 mm (95% confidence interval, 29.9–31.8) at the aortic valve annulus. Weighted mean aortic root dimension in elite female athletes at the sinuses of Valsalva was 25.1 mm (95% confidence interval, 22.9–27.3). Analysis of the aortic valve annulus dimensions in female athletes was not possible because of the paucity of studies for this group.
Meta-regression analysis demonstrated that pooled mean aortic root diameter at the sinuses of Valsalva was 3.2 mm (P=0.02) greater in athletes than in controls, whereas aortic root size at the aortic valve annulus was 1.6 mm (P=0.04) greater in athletes than in controls.
We assessed the influence of other study-level factors on aortic root dimensions, and men were found to have a 4.1-mm larger aortic root diameter at the aortic valve annulus than women (P=0.04). The aortic root at the sinuses of Valsalva in men was also 4.7 mm greater than in women, but this was not statistically significant (P=0.23). Study location did not have a statistically significant effect on aortic root diameters (Tables 3 and 4).
Subgroup analysis confined to the endurance-trained and strength-trained athletes demonstrated that the aortic valve annulus in endurance athletes was 2.2 mm greater than that in controls (P=0.03), whereas aortic valve annulus in strength-trained athletes was 1.5 mm greater than that in controls, which did not reach statistical significance (P=0.13). We attempted similar subgroup analyses for the aortic root dimensions at the sinuses of Valsalva, but the small number of available studies measuring the aortic root at this location precluded meaningful analysis.
There was significant statistical heterogeneity for pooling of both of the studies measuring the aortic valve annulus and sinuses of Valsalva (I2=99% and I2=99.5%, respectively). We produced separate funnel plots for studies measuring the aortic root at the aortic valve annulus and at the sinuses of Valsalva. There was no evidence of publication bias on the basis of either visual inspection of the funnel plot (Figure 2) or Egger's regression test (P=0.99) for the studies measuring the aortic root dimensions at the sinuses of Valsalva. The funnel plot for studies measuring the aortic valve annulus (Figure 3) suggested possible publication bias, but the Egger's regression test did not achieve statistical significance (P=0.77).
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate whether elite athletes have increased aortic dimensions associated with their exercise training. Our meta-analysis of 5580 athletes and 727 controls suggests that athletes have larger aortic root diameters, especially at the sinuses of Valsalva. This effect is statistically significant but small because aortic diameters in athletes were only 3.2 mm on average greater than those in comparison subjects at the sinuses of Valsalva and 1.6 mm on average greater at the aortic valve annulus. The aortic root enlargement associated with exercise is 2-fold larger at the sinuses of Valsalva than at the aortic valve annulus. The aortic valve annulus is part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart and therefore may be less likely to remodel with exercise training.
Analysis of included study results with the use of a random-effects meta-analysis demonstrates that the 95% confidence limit of aortic size at the sinuses of Valsalva in elite athletes is only 33.and 27.3 mm for men and women, respectively. This further emphasizes that the effects of exercise training on aortic diameters are small and that marked enlargement suggests a pathological process. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to answer this important question and provides the most vigorous and reliable evidence to date of how systematic athletic training affects the aortic root in a large population of elite athletes. The difference in aortic size was most pronounced in elite endurance athletes compared with controls. The slightly larger aortic diameters in strength-trained athletes versus controls did not reach statistical significance. Our results suggest that mild aortic enlargement is a normal adaptation to exercise training, but our results also indicate that large increases in aortic size are unusual in athletes and are therefore consistent with a pathological process, perhaps exacerbated by exercise training.
Most studies included in our meta-analysis did not focus on aortic dimensions in athletes, and we had to extract aortic dimensions from their results. One study that evaluated mean aortic root dimensions and the prevalence of aortic root dilatation in 2317 Italian athletes40 was not included in our meta-analysis. We did not include this large study because we sought to include only athletes defined as elite or at the national level by the authors, and this Italian study included athletes competing at the regional level and therefore did not satisfy our inclusion criteria. This study40 also included some elite athletes who were also included in a study that we included.33 We could not include both studies because this would result in double counting of some elite athletes, and therefore we elected to include the study33 examining only elite athletes. Nevertheless, 17 of the 2317 Italian athletes had aortic dilatation, defined as aortic root dimensions ≥99th percentile in the study population (>40 mm in men and >34 mm in women). Fifteen of these 17 athletes demonstrated increases in aortic root dimensions over 8±5 years of follow-up, suggesting, as do our results, that aortic dilatation in athletes represents a pathological process and not a physiological adaptation to exercise.40
The results of our meta-analysis cannot directly address the upper limits of normal root size in athletes, nor can they define the level of aortic dilation that would be considered pathological. We suggest that clinicians evaluating athletes make clinical decisions using the nomogram for aortic root size for the general population because the effect of elite training is small and clinically nonsignificant. Commonly used nomograms of aortic root dimensions versus BSA, including that adapted by the American Society of Echocardiography,41,42 assume a linear correlation between aortic root and BSA, but a study of 92 men and 90 women with heights >95th percentile demonstrated that aortic root diameter at the sinuses of Valsalva plateaued with increased BSA.43 Similarly, a nonlinear relationship with a plateau between aortic root dimensions and BSA was observed in a study of 1929 Japanese athletes, of whom 415 (>20%) participated in either basketball or volleyball and had anthropometric measures significantly greater than those of the other athletes.44 This nonlinear relationship between anthropometric and aortic measurements, which suggests a plateauing of aortic dimensions with increasing height and BSA, further emphasizes the importance of not dismissing markedly enlarged aortas in large athletes as a result of athletic training or body size alone.
BAV is a risk factor for aortic dilatation, although athletic training does not appear to accelerate the increase in aortic size in athletes with BAV.28 Yearly echocardiograms performed in 88 athletes with BAV for 5 years demonstrated that the proximal ascending aorta increased by 0.98 mm/y.28 This rate of increases is comparable to that observed in nonathletes with BAV, which ranges among studies from ≈0.2 to 1.9 mm/y.45 Nevertheless, additional studies focusing solely on aortic root dimension changes in athletes with BAV are needed to evaluate the effect of exercise training on this subgroup of athletes.
Aortic dilatation ≥40 mm in athletes is rare, with a reported prevalence among athletes ranging from 0.26% to 1.2%.24,40,44 Aortic dissection, aortic rupture, and death may be the first manifestation of aortic dilatation. The risk of these complications increases with aortic size. Aortic events are rare causes of sudden death among athletes, and when they occur, they are often associated with syndromes known to increase the risk of aortic events such as Marfan syndrome. The results of our meta-analysis indicate that any aortic root enlargement that occurs with exercise training is small and that large increases in aortic size are not produced by exercise training alone. The observation that exercise training may increase aortic dimension, however, suggests that the risks and benefits of exercise should be weighed carefully in individuals with conditions predisposing to aortic dilatation.
There are limitations to the present study. Nearly all studies identified were cross-sectional, and we cannot exclude the remote possibility that aortic size in athletes is innately larger than in sedentary subjects even before exercise training. The majority of the studies were conducted in Europe, and only a few studies reported race-specific data, and therefore we were unable to examine possible racial or ethnic effects on the results. Most studies did not report whether athletes with Marfan syndrome were excluded from the study cohort. The incidence of classic Marfan syndrome in the general population is ≈2 to 3 per 10000 individuals, but the incidence is likely increased in certain sports in which height is advantageous, such as volleyball and basketball.46 We therefore cannot exclude that athletes with Marfan syndrome were included, which theoretically could result in greater aortic root dimensions and cause overestimation of any exercise effect, but we consider this possibility unlikely. There was significant statistical heterogeneity among the included studies, which we attempted to control using multivariate meta-regression analysis.15 This permits pooling of studies for additional power while adjusting for differences in multiple study-level characteristics, but it is likely that we were unable to adjust for all important sources of heterogeneity and that some confounding factors remain. Our literature review was limited to English-language studies, which can introduce selection bias. We sought to avoid possible misunderstandings and data inaccuracies by not using translated articles, and we suspect that the possibility of selection bias is reduced by the large number of studies available in English.
Few studies carefully matched athletes and controls for anthropometric parameters that affect aortic size such as BSA and height.7,40–42,44,47 We therefore cannot exclude the possibility that part of the difference in aortic root size may be due to the larger body size of athletes. Despite these limitations, the difference in aortic root diameter between athletes and controls in our analysis was small, suggesting that any training-related increases in aortic size are clinically nonsignificant.
We conclude that elite athletic training is associated with a small but significantly larger aortic root diameter, especially at the sinuses of Valsalva. The magnitude of this increase is clinically nonsignificant, and marked increases in aortic root measurements in athletes should not be attributed to athlete's heart.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says TransCanada's decision to pull the plug on the Energy East pipeline is "unfortunate".
"I could be at the grocery store, I could be at the coffee shop, and people would constantly stop or say to me "protect our drinking water".
Last month the company revealed that it was suspending efforts to get regulatory approval.
The demise of the pipeline comes less than a year after the Canadian government rejected another export pipeline, Enbridge Inc's Northern Gateway, and is a further setback for Canada's oil industry which is already hurting from low global crude prices.
TransCanada submitted an application for its Energy East project three years ago, proposing the construction of a new 930-mile segment and converting 1,800 miles of gas line for oil service.
"This is evidence of how a lack of clarity and an unclear decision-making process regarding pipeline projects in Canada are challenging the energy sector's ability to be competitive in the world market", the organization said in a release.
"TransCanada was forced to make the difficult decision to abandon its project, following years of hard work and millions of dollars in investment", the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, an industry group, said in a statement to Bloomberg.
He added that TransCanada will also withdraw from a Quebec environmental review.
Canada's National Energy Board (NEB) granted TransCanada a 30-day suspension on September 8, after the company said it needed to review the impact of new assessment criteria that would consider the C$15.7 billion ($12.58 billion) project's indirect greenhouse gas contributions. "While this is not the result we hoped for, we will continue to drive our business forward to ensure a positive and prosperous future for our region, our communities and our company".More news: Relief for Man Utd as Belgium offer positive Lukaku injury update

The 4,500km Energy East pipeline, which would have carried 1.1 million barrels of oil per day, faced stiff opposition from environmental groups and several municipalities in Quebec concerned about possible spills affecting groundwaters and rivers along its path.
"We understand that this was ultimately a business decision by TransCanada based on current economic and political realities", reads the statement.
Heurtel asked TransCanada Pipelines to supply a report on the environmental impact of Energy East in Quebec.
The premiers of Alberta and New Brunswick say they're disappointed by TransCanada's cancellation of the Energy East pipeline, which would have connected their two provinces.
Environment Minister David Heurtel said TransCanada didn't have much choice but to scrap the project, saying he believes the company realized numerous elements weren't in place successful conclusion of the project.
Greenpeace and other environmental groups also claimed a victory for those who believed there was "no social value in the project" in a world fighting climate change.
June 16, 2016: The National Energy Board says it has officially started the clock on its review of Energy East.
With this cancellation, there remains one more tar sands pipeline that has been proposed in Canada, taking oil to the West Coast.

Secret Missions to Cuba pp 149-174 | Cite as
The Reagan Years and Beyond
The 1980 Mariel boatlift brought tens of thousands of desperate Cubans to Florida and further hardened the anti-Castro policy of the United States. Mariel was not only difficult for its participants, but also for the Cuban families who stayed behind while family members left. In the mid-1980s, Cuba again shut its doors, refusing to honor its 1978 agreement of permitting exiles to visit. Some Cubans committed suicide in despair over the departure of their children or other close relatives, and Cubans who lined up to apply for visas at the height of Mariel were insulted by hecklers, splattered by eggs thrown at them, and in some cases were forced to wear signs reading, "I am a worm." Many received beatings, and one or two were beaten to death.1 Many Mariel arrivals initially fared badly in the United States, too, although over time they adjusted.

Farewell to an old friend
Yesterday was a sad day for us . Our cat Mulder passed away. We'd had him for almost fifteen years and he came to us aged about eighteen months so he'd had a good and long life. We'll miss him. He was a good cat.

I'm so sorry, Liz. I wish I could say something more,something to make it better, but I know there is very little I can. I'm thinking of you. Take care.

So sorry to hear that. When I was young, we had a cat, Tiger, that, sadly, died due to kidney failure. A sweet cat.
The next cat, Princess, made up for that: It wasn't until she was about fourteen that she passed away.
Much sympathy and cyber hugs headed your way.

On December 30, 2013, a westbound BNSF train carrying soybeans derailed approximately one mile west of Casselton, North Dakota. An adjacent eastbound BNSF train carrying crude oil struck wreckage from the westbound grain train (accident location 46°54′4.82″N 97°13′59.42″W).
The collision ignited the crude oil and caused a chain of large explosions, which were heard and felt several miles away. The resulting fireball created a massive cloud of black smoke, which prompted authorities to issue a voluntary evacuation of the city and surrounding area as a precaution.
The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation into the cause of the incident.
The way the liberal media and environmental movements are spinning this story is indeed a classic in twisted and distorted journalism. Even the first two paragraphs above, copied verbatum from Wikipedia, clearly shows that the oil train was not the cause of the conflagration – it was instead a derailed grain train which the oil train unfortunately stumbled upon near Casselton, North Dakota.
Meanwhile, Congress and the liberal media is screaming for heads to roll and regulations to be laid down against oil transportation methods. First, they wanted to bury the XL pipeline and its ability to carry Bakken and Canadian oil to refineries in the South….next, they want to put a stop to transporting this valuable petroleum anywher by rail system.
I happen to own land on the Bakken oil patch in North Dakota where BNSF trains(Canadian Pacific Railroad) move dozens of 80 car oil trains across our land 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Before this heavy, new railroad loading occurred, CPR strengthened each and every mile of the track so that the heavy oil cars could safely transit the hundreds of miles from the Bakken oil fields to the eastern refineries.
The likely cause for the grain train accident is similar to dozens if not scores of similar accidents which occur, mainly in cold weather conditions, when the axels and journals of the heavily loaded cars snap, dropping the car onto the tracks and in most cases derailing dozens of additional cars.
In the Casselton, ND case, the grain train was the cause of the oil train catching fire, not the oil train on its own. When the media gets this story straight, pigs will fly…

Lagos rolls out waterways master plan
A significant increase in economic and business activities is expected around the Lagos waterways between now and the first quarter of 2018 as the state government is set to award contracts for the dredging and channelisation of the waterways.
This is to allow for free navigation of bigger passenger vessels as well as open up the sector for new investments, and key it into the overall inter-modal public transportation master plan of the state.
Lagos, a state with large water bodies currently utilises less than 2 per cent of its waters for public transportation due to a number of factors, including safety concerns, absence of navigational aids and long standing jurisdictional issue with the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), a narrative that is now changing for good.
Among major routes listed for channelisation within the next six months are Falomo, Osborne, Ikorodu, Badore and Marina. Several other routes connecting different parts of the state are also to be opened up, in what Abisola Kamson, managing director of Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) said would be executed in phases. The plan would also see to the upgrading of some of the existing jetties and making them more passenger-friendly.
Kamsom's position was confirmed by Paul Kalejaye, chief executive officer, Lagos State Ferry Services (LAGFerry), who said the state government would be deploying standard vessels soon as the dredging project was completed. Both spoke in an interview with BusinessDay last weekend.
Also to be introduced on the waterways, according to Kamson, are Global Positioning System (GPS) trackers, cameras and other navigational aids, aimed at further enhancing the safety and making the sector more attractive to investors and commuters. The ultimate objective, according to Kamson, is to integrate the waterways into the public transportation master plan, with the target to grow monthly ridership within the next 10 years, from the current 2 million, to 15 million passengers.
This move, according to her, is encouraged by the recent ruling of an Appeal Court, which upholds the powers of the Lagos State House of Assembly to make laws regulating and controlling economic and commercial activities within the state's inland waterways. On the back of the appellate court's ruling, the state government is building a database of boat operators, dredgers and other forms of businesses around the waterways, to enable it track their activities and effectively monitor their operations.
"Each vessel would be tracked with the new technology to see the level of compliance with the safety measures we have introduced including the use of life jacket, number of passengers per boat, engine capacity. There is going to be a total transformation on the waterways; a win-win situation for the state, operators and passengers.
"We expect that those engaged in any form of activities on the waterways would take advantage of this moment to register and be captured in our database or would be seen operating illegally. We are ready to apply sanctions and prosecute illegal operators in line with our laws," said Kamson.
Paul Kalejaye, CEO of LAGFerry, who described ferry as the safest means of commuting, said the current administration has resolved to give commuters an entirely new experience on the waterways following the Appeal Court's judgment which now allows Lagos take full charge of its inland waterways.

The view of a famous city, the feeling of exhilaration when beholding one of nature's icons, the vastness of a desert landscape, the power of the animal world, the excitement of an ultra modern neon lit city, the assault on the senses when visiting a local market, the peace provided by a rainforest and the serenity one experiences when visiting a sacred site await the adventurous traveller. But what part does photography play in your travels? And how important is the making of great images to the success of your trip?
Photographs offer a way of effectively sharing our experiences with family and friends. Whether by the traditional photo album or via blog, website or email photography provides us with the opportunity to both re-live and share the color and excitement of our adventures. In time, what we photograph may be the only part of our trips that can be remembered clearly.
While many recognise the importance of recording these treasured moments, few are prepared for the experience of actually making the images. Here are a few tips that might be of help, particularly for those who place considerable value in their photography.
Instead of taking pictures of family and friends in familiar surroundings, you'll likely be photographing strangers, in unfamiliar surroundings, and probably photographing more landscapes, architectural interiors and close-ups than you would otherwise.
The most amazing moments happen right before your eyes. This places you under pressure to make a great image of what may well be a once in a lifetime experience.
You'll have much more chance of being able to make a great image, under such challenging circumstances, if you practice making the same sort of picture before you begin your trip. This is no different for a photographer than it would be for an elite athlete, musician or actor. Practice makes perfect, and to be able to make a great image you need to be able to anticipate the moment before it happens, have the familiarity with your equipment that will allow you to set and use it quickly and, know where best to stand to make the most out of your lens and achieve the best composition and lighting.
While this might seem like a tall order, you can prepare for most situations by finding similar events in your own part of the world. Let's say you live in a small country town in Middle America. Every year there's a parade that celebrates (for example) Independence Day. Though there might only be 200 people at the parade, you'll likely face many of the same challenges making great pictures there that you will a month later photographing a major religious procession in India. The problems are often the same, just on a larger scale. To make good images you'll need to research the event: it's date, time, location and route; and determine the best vantage point for composition and light.
It's essential that, unless you're looking for a silhouette, that the sun be behind you so that the subject's face and clothing are lit. This will also give you the opportunity to practice asking permission to make portraits, of both those involved in the parade and the spectators, as well as photographing moving subjects. You'll only ever make great photographs if you use the camera in a way that empowers you. You might be very shy by nature but, with the camera in your hand, you can develop super hero confidence and abilities. The camera can be an obstacle or a passport into a new and exciting world. It all depends on your viewpoint.
You might be about to travel to Italy to visit St. Peter's Basilica. Before undertaking your trip why not spend a few hours photographing a local church in your area. Of course it's always advisable to ask permission, particularly if you're going to be setting up a tripod in a doorway or planning to walk up onto the altar area. It would also be wise to send an email to your tour guide asking if tripods are allowed inside the Basilica. If not, practice making the same images, without a tripod, to determine the slowest Shutter Speed at which you can successfully hold your camera without experiencing camera shake. When your finally get to shoot inside St. Peter's and you reach the Shutter Speed at which camera shake is likely to occur, set your lens to a wider aperture and/or higher ISO setting. This will provide you with a faster Shutter Speed ensuring a sharp result.
The next thing to do is study your images with a critical eye and understand the limitations of your equipment (e.g. the magnification of your lens) and under what conditions you'd be unable to make a satisfactory image. If you love photographing people you should take your camera along to as many parties, picnics and barbeques as possible before your travels begin. Practice making candid and more formalized portraits of people you know. Learn from disappointment the type of lighting conditions that produce poor results. Remember those conditions and allow that memory to remind you of the negative feelings you experienced when you failed to make good pictures.
While this might seem a strange thing to do, it is an essential strategy toward producing great results when it counts. Its not about embracing or dwelling on disappointment, it's about using the power of negative emotions to cause us to learn from our mistakes and take action to ensure we don't repeat them. Not wanting to experience the same negative feelings you will do what you need to do to produce a better result the next time you're photographing under the same lighting conditions.
On a bright, sunny day the solution may be as simple as asking the subject to move into the soft, flattering light offered by even shade. When they do you'll notice that bright, shinny areas on their skin are reduced and that they stop squinting, which reduces visible lines on their face and allows you to see the color of their eyes. To get the right exposure ensure that there are no really bright areas, such as a sky or sunlit grass, in your composition.
One of the critical differences between a professional and amateur photographer is the pro's determination to photograph under the best lighting possible. Sometimes that involves complicated lighting arrangements. Often it means looking around and determining what area (ground, table, wall, etc) is lit in a pleasing manner and having the confidence to move your subject into that light. Again, practice makes perfect.
With a better understanding of how to use your camera and what conditions produce the best possible results you'll be well on the way to making great pictures on holiday and through the rest of your photographic adventures. Your increased skills and knowledge will allow you to photograph with more positive energy and confidence than you otherwise would have. You'll begin to notice the color, direction and quality of light in your daily life and come to an understanding that photography is about other things than cameras, Shutter Speeds, Apertures and ISO.

This is a great outdoor activity for a hot day. It is also really easy prep.
To set up this activity you need
- ice
- some kitchen utensils
- freeze some toys for more ice options (optional of course)
- tongs
While making breakfast I just filled some containers with water and placed a toy inside then stuck it in the freezer. By the time the weather was nice and hot the water was frozen.
I really like having tongs for this activity. It is great for fine motor skills.
I used this bin as a distraction mostly. After our Paint Squirt Gun Fight I set out this bin to help calm down all the energy from running around. I was also able to take each child individually to get cleaned up while the rest played in the bin.
The plastic 'ice' gems were a favorite for everyone. They were really gold to start with but when the water inside them melts they are still gems.
Of course the other ice melted.
The boys did make it their mission to save the dinosaurs from the ice.
Once the ice turned into water there was a lot of pouring, dumping, and scooping of course :) It was a great entertainer.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2017
CONTACT: Audry Ricketts at 605-773-8242 or email@example.com (South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs)
PIERRE, S.D. – Republic of China (Taiwan) will honor 52 South Dakota veterans who served in Taiwan during 1955-1979 at a ceremony hosted by the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs. The ceremony will be held Monday, Aug. 14, at 1 p.m. (CST) in Galleries B & C at the Ramkota Conference Center in Pierre.
On behalf of the Republic of China (ROC) government, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Denver will present the "US-ROC Mutual Defense Commemorative Badge" to express the country's appreciation for their service and contributions.
The United States of America and the Republic of China established a Mutual Defense Treaty from 1955 to 1979, which defended Taiwan's democracy and freedom. Director General Jerry Chang said, "The American soldiers played a very important role in maintaining the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait during that time and we are very grateful for all the veterans' contributions to providing assistance in Taiwan's self-defense. Taiwanese people will always remember with deep appreciation."
"It has been an honor to work side by side with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office on this ceremony," said Larry Zimmerman, Secretary of the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs. "They recognize what these heroes have given and as a token of their sincerest appreciation they will present them with the US-ROC Mutual Defense Commemorative Badge which symbolizes their adoration and appreciation for their service and sacrifice."
"This is a conflict not many remember, and few even know about," said Zimmerman. "We must continue to provide opportunities like this ceremony to educate all on the sacrifices made by those who serve."
The ceremony will include remarks from Gov. Dennis Daugaard, SDDVA Secretary Larry Zimmerman and Director General Jerry Chang.

Testament - The Gathering (1999)
I think at the time everyone expected this mind-blowing technical escapade and felt a pang of disappointment when that ended up not being the case. I can say with confidence that I was not ready for this album at the time of its release. I don't think I would've liked it even with the perception I have now. It's just something whose time has finally come to pass and I can say now that this is among my favorites of the band's releases next to 'Low' and 'The Legacy'. 'The Gathering' is also a tremendous improvement over the band's previous album 'Demonic', not to mention the fact that with 'The Gathering' Testament managed to step back on track as 'Demonic' is an anomaly to the band's catalog.
This is one of those albums that I rediscovered after having written it off so long ago and it only gets better with each listen.

I have never had a child quote movies like Joseph does. He pulls out one liners all the time and it is hilarious once we figure out which movie he is referring to.
Today we went to the Zoo in San Diego. On our way home we stopped at Taco bell to get a taco. He found a little brown booster seat, put it into place and then said he was a hot dog sitting in the bun. We all laughed at that. Then he gets this clever smile on his face and puts his hands up like he is driving a car and says, "I love this car."
I am puzzled and look at the kids to see if anyone can figure out the movie. Jared, who seems to always be able to decipher Joseph, figured it out.
On Christmas Eve we went to the movies as a family. Joshua watched only about 15 minutes before I decided to take home. I got a refund ticket and Ryan and I went back to see it tonight. The very last line of the movie is, "I love this car." When I saw that I laughed out loud. What a funny kid.
Anyone know the movie?

Mike, Brandon, and Dan take a trip to Westworld to discuss the popular HBO show. Is the show must-watch television for developers and coders? How can educators incorporate programming like Westworld into their curricula? What can we learn from the series about artificial intelligence and machine learning? How does the Delos Corporation's focus on data relate to themes from contemporary life in 2018? Our three hosts kick off the discussion with these questions and explore themes we will dig into further in an upcoming pop culture analysis spinoff called The Cradle (CR4-DL).
Mike, Dan, and Brandon celebrate the 100th episode of Trending In Education. We take a little time to reflect on and celebrate the ride thus far. From Bror Saxberg to Tarlin Ray to Early Childhood Education to Torobo-Kun, we've covered a wide range of topics, articles, and ideas across our first 100 shows. This week we thank our guests and listeners and provide updates on some of our favorite topics as we explore what's on the horizon for the next 100 episodes.
Thanks again for listening and here's to building on and expanding the conversation!
Blockbuster MooCs and the future of Massive Online Open Courses - Trending In Education - Episode 99
This week, Brandon, Mike, and Dan revisit Massive Open Online Courses, or MooCs. Are Blockbuster MooCs the way forward for online courses? How important is having well-known teachers lead these courses? How have universities leveraged their best teachers for long-lasting content? What kinds of roles are emerging for people passionate about teaching? And what sorts of courses are attracting the most learners and why?
Have a listen to learn more.

Eat Pray Love ***
Director: Ryan Murphy
Cast: Julia Roberts
Javier Bardem, James Franco, Richard Jenkins, Viola Davis
Billy Crudup, Hadi Subiyanto, Tuva Novotny, Mike O'Malley
Luca Argentero, Rushita Singh, David Lyons
How do you sell a movie about a woman who leaves her husband to find herself, while traveling to some of the most exotic locales on the planet? You get Julia Roberts to play her.
It makes no difference that Eat Pray Love is based on the autobiographical novel written by Elizabeth Gilbert, the truth is that perhaps there would've been no way to bring this movie to the screen without making it feel like a "whine fest" if it wasn't because Roberts turns it into a Julia Roberts movie.
Not to pay any disservice to Gilbert, since apparently those who love her book think it gets to be spiritual and transcendental, but the thing is that watching Julia on a movie screen immediately takes you to a place where movie stars still are gods of sorts and mortals can still drool over them.
This helps the movie because it helps make Gilbert approachable, given that we rarely think of her as an actual "normal" person, she's pretty much Julia Roberts' version of Gilbert.
This makes it easy to like Julia because it wouldn't really be easy to like Liz.
When the film begins she decides to leave her husband (Crudup) after figuring out she doesn't love him. She begins an affair with a young actor (Franco) who she doesn't love either and then decides it's time to travel the world and find her balance.
She begins her journey in Italy where she eats, then goes to India where she prays and culminates it in Bali where she loves (Bardem plays Felipe her Brazilian love interest).
Director Murphy (who also wrote the screenplay with Alice Salt) seems to have no real intention to make anything in the movie subtle.
Besides the obvious explanation of the title, he spends trying to digest everything for the audience. Along with director of photography Robert Richardson he tries to make everything seem like what we'd expect it to be.
Therefore the entire movie is bathed in a golden light that makes everything seem nice but doesn't really allow elements to breathe. Richardson who is an extraordinary DP, here seems restricted by the homogeneous look Murphy tries to impose on everything.
The same can be said about the editing, which more often than not seems overcompensating. The scenes where Liz eats are usually cut with such quickness that they make her bites seem car commercials, it's as if Murphy is too worried we would get too envious about the foods and chose not to show them too much and there's a particularly obnoxious scene where a woman's fashion success is celebrated by an entire crowd of football fans.
It's fortunate then that while Murphy digests for us, Julia gets to do the actual savoring. Her performance might not be a reinvention of modern acting but the actress shows glimpses of a maturity that she has experimented with very few times in her career.
Not only does she look more radiant and beautiful than ever but she also manages to infuse Liz with a certain sense of earthiness despite the whole "she's Julia" issue.
Even when the movie succumbs to cliché Julia takes it to a completely different place. For example it doesn't take long to assume Gilbert was a fan of Sex and the City given the way she narrates and tries too hard to deliver Carrie Bradshaw-isms, but Roberts takes these comments with a pinch of salt and instead of turning them into puns or teabag advice she confronts them and even make us wonder if Gilbert wasn't actually consciously creating a marketable product while trying to be spiritual (think Paulo Coelho minus the ominous hocus pocus).
After all this is a woman who literally had to begin from zero after an ugly divorce. It would make sense, and give her some humanity, to think that she was finding ways to make money after her trip was over.
Eat Pray Love rarely gives us a glimpse of the Julia Roberts laughter, you know that big, loud roar that's impossible to ignore, instead we get more of her soulful smile this time around.
Perhaps the screenplay doesn't really try hard to see what's behind Liz, her motivations rarely move past the "find myself" stereotype but Julia detected this and tries to explore it without acquiring methodical tics.
Instead of approaching Liz like a vessel waiting to be invaded, Roberts gets near her and tries to empathize, which is why it's evident that nobody else would've been able to play this woman and not make her seem selfish and to an extent an anti-heroine.
Because for all its soul searching and mumbo jumbo, Eat Pray Love is still very much about an American woman using the world to expiate her sins but without the selfawareness to make it a satire.
Because it has Roberts though it gains a heart, one that is broken on several occassions (mostly by herself) and because of this we leave the movie, not feeling patronized or offended but actually questioning what we just saw.
If people like Gilbert get to travel the world and still come up empty handed, what hope is there for the people who only get to travel from movie to movie looking for answers to their existential questions.
Murphy doesn't seem to know that his glossy travelogue might seem shallow but Julia does and with a comforting smile lets us know that however deep we sink in our own tragedies, almost everyone knows that a spoonful of gelato makes the world seem perfect even for at least a second.

Below is a selection of images from a personal project put together with the co-operation of the staff and volunteers at the Square Chapel, Halifax. The project took 3 months to complete and I have also produced a book to complement this work.
This project has been a fantastic journey for me and I've had tremendous pleasure in taking and selecting the images for this book.
I would like to thank all the performers', bands, actors and theatre companies for their co-operation and assistance. I would like to give special thanks to the staff and volunteers and The Square Chapel, Halifax without whose support none of this would have been possible, namely Lucy Burnett and John Carter for their help and encouragement, Kate Hornby for contacting all the agencies to grant me the access I needed, Rebekah Fozard for her help with licences and finally duty managers Alice and Linda for their additional support. I feel privileged to have worked with you all.
