Madge Syers, The Mother Of Figure Skating
Madge was one of fifteen children of a disgraced and bankrupt property developer in Kensington and was a talented swimmer and equestrian before taking up the sport of figure skating. She was introduced to the less rigid International Skating Style made famous by skating pioneer Jackson Haines by her future coach, husband and pairs partner Edgar Morris Wood Syers at Prince's Skating Club in Knightsbridge, England when she was but a teenager. In 1899, the couple married and began competing both individually and as a pairs team. They wrote their first two books about the sport together, one of them instructional and the other a volume of poetry.
Madge and Edgar Syers
Discovering that the International Skating Union's rules did not specify the gender of the participants, her 1902 trip to the World Championships would not have happened without the urging of her husband and coach Edgar. Officials were surprised by Madge's grand entrance to a sport dominated by men but her skating ability spoke for itself. Helping her cause was the fact that Edgar and Madge were influential members of Britain's National Skating Association, the hosts of the 1902 World Championships.
Madge and Edgar Syers
Dressed to the nines in a full length skirt, satin blouse, pearl necklace, hat and leather gloves, Madge took on three men and was only topped by one, the eventual ten time World Champion Ulrich Salchow. As the legend goes, Salchow apparently presented Madge with his gold medal. What you have to keep in mind about all of this is that although the women's suffrage moment was alive and well in Great Britain at the time, it wasn't until 1928 that the Representation Of The People Act was passed, allowing all women over the age of twenty one in the United Kingdom to vote was passed. The first large procession or demonstration by the National Union Of Women's Suffrage Societies wasn't held until 1907, so that certainly gives you an idea as to how daring what Madge was doing really was in that time period in her country.
Madge and Edgar Syers
Following her iconic first visit to the 1902 World Figure Skating Championships in London, the International Skating Union was prompted to discuss and debate the topic of women competing against men at their 1903 ISU Congress. The main concerns were that a woman wearing a dress as opposed to pants prevented the judges from seeing the feet, that a judge might judge or favour a woman he was involved with romantically and "it is difficult to compare women with men". In a vote of 6-3 (all men, of course), the ISU Congress voted in favour of barring women from competition completely.
Madge wasn't daunted by this sexist decision though. It only seemed to empower her. She shorted her dresses to a mid-calf length to show her skates fully and dispel that particular concern. In doing so, she started a new fashion trend. By 1988, Katarina Witt took it a step further and only wore a sequined bodysuit decorated in blue ostrich feathers.
Madge competed elsewhere, winning the 1903 British Figure Skating Championships title against a mixed field. She won again the next year, beating her husband and coach Edgar. She also entered the 1904 European Championships, but was forced to withdraw following the compulsory figures due to injury. Long story short, Madge wasn't going anywhere.
The topic of women in competition was revisited in 1905, and with the lobbying of Great Britain's National Skating Association things went differently this time. A separate event was created known as "the Ladies' Championship of the ISU" rather than a World Championship and was held at a different date and location from the men's World Championship. Who else but Madge won the first and second ladies titles, finishing first in Davos in 1906 and Vienna and 1907.
Madge Syers
The very first time figure skating was contested at the (Summer) Olympics, Madge was ready and raring to go. The figure skating events were held in London in October 1908 at the Princes Club. She both the compulsory figures and free skating with first place ordinals in both segments from all five judges and became the first Olympic ladies champion. Official reports described her as "in a class all by herself" and as having "excelled in rhythm and time-keeping, and her dance steps, pirouettes" and also stating that "the wonderful accuracy of her figures, combined with perfect carriage and movement, was the chief feature of the morning's skating." Remarkably, her very well received skating in the singles event was coupled by a bronze medal in pairs skating with her husband Edgar.
Madge and Edgar Syers
Not long after the 1908 Summer Olympic Games, Madge retired from figure skating due to her failing health. Madge and Edgar co-wrote a third and more influential book, "The Art Of Skating (International Style)", which was published in 1913. Conflicting contemporary sources alternately claim she died of heart failure caused by acute endocarditis or that she died while giving birth. What we do know with certainty is that her date of death was September 9, 1917 and she was only thirty five at the time. She was survived by her husband, who passed away in 1946 at the age of eighty two. He lovingly penned the poem "To My Lady's Skates": "The praise of glove, of fan, or shoe, full many a ode relates; May not my muse, with theme more new, Commend my Lady's Skates? Eff little feet to guide these blades My Mistress fair provides; And, sweetest of our glacial maids, On them serenely glides."
Madge Syers
Posthumously, Madge was elected to the World Figure Skating Hall Of Fame in 1981. We can't look at where we are without looking back at skaters like Madge who changed the face of the sport as we know it. Just as times were so very different then, they are so different now from how they were even 20 years ago. In 1993, who would have predicted the IJS system, the rise of social media, YouTube, the complete eradication of professional figure skating competitions, multiple quad jumps in one program... times have changed and they will continue to but one thing that has been consistent throughout the history of the sport has been change, and Madge made one of the first and most instrumental ones.

I finished this yesterday and I have to say, this is the first series that has excited me in quite some time. Pure by Julianna Baggott is the first in a trilogy, set in a post-apocalyptic world. It kept me hooked; I loved the characters and Baggott's world building was stunning. Word of note: this will include large spoilers.
Pure is set in a world which sees, after the atomic Detonations over a decade earlier, two societies co-existing together. There are those 'blessed' enough to have been allowed entry into the Dome, where humanity remains 'Pure' from the impact of the nuclear bombs, and the world outside the Dome, filled with 'wretches' – people struggling to survive in post-apocalyptic society, many of which are fused to objects, people and animals which happened to be around during the moment the Detonations hit.
Pressia Belze is the main protagonist, although Baggott splits the book so we get a third person perspective from Pressia, Partridge (a Pure), Lyda (another Pure) and El Capitan (a man fused with his brother on his back). Another character of note is Bradwell. He sheds light on the Dome's sketchy existence and soon becomes a love interest for Pressia.
I thought the way the book was structured in the different sections was very well done. It gave you different splinters to the story, and allowed you to see things which were being set in motion, including things which had yet to happen to the main group of characters. I think it was much better than if the novel had been structured with Pressia alone giving a first person perspective.
I liked the characters. They seemed realistic, likeable, and they grew on you through the course of the book. My one note would be regarding Bradwell. I didn't warm to him as I felt I should, particularly considering he becomes Pressia's love interest. To be honest, I had expected Partridge to become Pressia's love interest, and then Baggott throws in the fact that they're half brother and sister, which obviously killed that idea. Perhaps if Bradwell had his own segment, I might have grown to him a bit more. Or maybe he's a character which will grow on me throughout the course of the trilogy.
I have to admit there were a few details, including a rather large plot twist, which I managed to guess in advance of the characters. I had it all figured out rather quickly when everything came together, so there was a point where I was waiting for the characters to catch up to the realisation I had made pages earlier. This happened most notably twice, with the revelation of Pressia's parentage (and thus Partridge's relationship to her) and with the discovery that Partridge's brother was still alive, albeit in a different form.
A lot happens in Pure, and for the most part it happens in a very short time scale. It's very action packed. As soon as one crisis is over, another quickly follows it. There is very little downtime for the characters to sit back and reflect on what has happened, although that isn't to say that there isn't character reflection. There is. My only point is that this constant pace might not be favourable with some readers.
Thankfully, although this book was literally screaming with the living depiction of humanity's flaws, it never strayed anywhere near lecture territory. It made a nice contrast with the dystopian book I read late last week in which there was a very prominent lecture right in the middle of the narrative.
I have to say regarding the ending, I was expecting a greater cliff-hanger. The epilogue didn't truly feel like an epilogue. If anything, it should have remained a continuation of the narrative from the final pages. It was set in the same time frame with the same characters. The events carried on immediately from before the epilogue began. I saw no need to separate them. There was no Lauren Oliver-esque cliff-hanger taunting me for the next book. Only the mention of the Black Boxes, which although I'm sure they bear significance, since we haven't been given the slightest clue what their significance is, I'm not left hanging.
Overall, I thought it was a good book. I look forward to reading Fuse, out at some point in 2013. I expect good things for this series. And as always, it was lovely to read some well written dystopian YA. Pure is a book I would readily recommend.

What a long wait it's been for iPad 2 owners eager to jailbreak their tablets. With the second generation slate having released in March, here it is almost July and there still aren't any options to set it free. That may be about to change, as the developer who's been working on the jailbreak tweeted that he's "running out of bugs to fix."
Comex is the developer who posted the first jailbreak for the iPhone 4 last year, in the form of a web page-based method located at jailbreakme.com. It appears that the upcoming jailbreak will also use the same site, as he recently posted a teaser pic that hinted at a PDF exploit (the hole in the code that allows a web page to change an iPad's file system). The page currently shows Comex's GitHub commits (changes he has made to the project's source code), which date all the way back to August of last year.
Jailbreaking, of course, is the method of opening up Apple's closed operating system to 3rd party apps and tweaks. The 3rd party app store, Cydia, is the primary way of installing these add-ons and is automatically added during the jailbreaking process. You can see our Top 5 Reasons to Jailbreak for more.
Despite the long wait, Comex had actually revealed months ago that he had jailbroken the iPad 2. Unfortunately though, that method used off-limits Apple code and therefore never saw a public release.
The upcoming hack will be effective on all iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches running any firmware up to 4.3.3. It is expected to be an untethered jailbreak, meaning you won't have to connect to a PC every time you reboot.
iFans eager to liberate their tablets have been holding out longer than they have for other hardware releases, leading some to wonder whether Apple has finally gotten a firm upper-hand in the cat & mouse game with the hackers. While the iPad 2 jailbreak looks to finally have its day soon, it will start all over again as iOS 5 is officially released this Fall.
We will let you know as soon as the expected jailbreak is released, including step-by-step instructions (which will likely be as simple as visiting jailbreakme.com).

Custom Sports Bottles Are Excellent For Companies That Work With Sports PeopleFor any business or organization that deals with athletes, custom sports bottles should be at the forefront as a marketing and promotional tool. Hydration is vital for the success of any sports enthusiast or professional, ranging from sports like tennis and hockey to cyclists and runners. Wherever water is needed, cups, bottles or other containers are also necessary. Depending on the sport, disposable bottles may be preferred, though the most benefit is gained from the use of reusable bottles that are labeled with your brands logo and name. However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind if you wish to use bottles as a part of your marketing campaigns. First, you need to decide what quality of custom sports bottles you need for a successful marketing campaign. Bottle quality involves factors such as Bisphenol A, which is a substance that is considered a contaminate that is unsafe for consumption by babies and younger children. Hig

Poultry Management and Behavior:
Natural Mating and Artificial Insemination
201 Sperm storage and transport following natural mating and artificial insemination.
Abstract: Recent observations in turkey and chicken hens show that sperm storage in both species is a highly inefficient process. After artificial insemination (AI), less than 1% of spermatozoa inseminated are selected for transport to and enter the sperm storage tubules (SST). It has been shown that the sperm selection process is orchestrated within the vagina and not at the level of the SST. At least two mechanisms are involved in the selection of spermatozoa fit for sperm storage, one being mechanical (motility) and the other biochemical in nature (sperm-vaginal mucosa interactions). Furthermore, it was also observed that the sperm storage efficiency in the chicken is dependent upon the logarithm of the number of spermatozoa inseminated. From a practical standpoint, inseminations performed frequently with a moderate number of spermatozoa should be more efficient than inseminations performed with higher doses at longer intervals. Maximal filling of the SST of hens in egg production requires only 1 day for the chicken and 2 days for the turkey. By contrast, the release of sperm from the SST is about seven times faster in the chicken than the turkey hen. The efficiency of oviducal sperm storage is related to a number of factors including age of the hen, stage of the ovulatory cycle when inseminated, and, in the turkey, if the hen was inseminated before or after the onset of egg production. Two different categories should be considered among factors that affect sperm survival in vivo. (The above photo is of a chicken hen being artificially inseminated. It is highly unlikely that such sanitary conditions are achieved in most production operations. Our thanks to United Poultry Concerns, Inc. for the photo.)
1) Factors affecting sperm storage. These factors, acting in the vaginal portion of the oviduct, regulate the migration of spermatozoa up to the SST by increasing (e.g., short intervals between oviposition and AI) or decreasing (e.g., sperm migration in prelaying hens) the barrier effect of the vagina.
2) Factors affecting sperm release. In chicken hens, the hen's age does not impair the sperm storage efficiency but rather increases the rate of release of spermatozoa, thus contributing to a shortage.

text: April 26, 1995 Honorable Arlen Specter Chairman Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Intelligence and Gov't Information United States Senate 161 Dirksen Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Specter: We write on behalf of the Electronic Privacy Information Center ("EPIC"), a non-profit research organization concerned with the protection of privacy and civil liberties. We are particularly interested in the preservation of Constitutional freedoms in the evolving communications infrastructure. Increasingly, the Internet and other digital systems facilitate the expression of political opinions and have, in effect, become the electronic town squares of our information society. For this reason, EPIC believes that any expansion of federal authority to investigate political activity and/or expression could have a profound impact upon those networks and the future of electronic democracy. As the Committee begins its examination of the tragic events in Oklahoma City, we urge careful and deliberate consideration of any proposal that would alter current guidelines governing the investigation and monitoring of domestic political activity or the collection and use of personal information. The Congress must be careful not to compromise fundamental constitutional values as it seeks to address the obvious security concerns in the wake of recent events. As Justice Powell observed in the Keith case:History abundantly documents the tendency of Government -- however benevolent and benign its motives -- to view with suspicion those who most fervently dispute its policies. [Constitutional] protections become the more necessary when the targets of official surveillance may be those suspected of unorthodoxy in their political beliefs. The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent.United States v. United States District Court, 407 U.S. 297, 314 (1972). In order to assess whether it is necessary to make changes in the current policies concerning the investigation of domestic organizations, we believe it is necessary to look closely at the history of federal investigative authority. As you know, the evolution of the current requirements governing the FBI's conduct of domestic security investigations dates back to 1976. In that year, President Ford's Attorney General, Edward Levi, issued "Guidelines on Domestic Security Investigation," which came to be known as the "Levi Guidelines." This directive, which recognized the FBI's legitimate investigative needs while seeking to protect the First Amendment rights of dissident politic organizations, was promulgated in the wake of Watergate and the revelations of the Senate's Church Committee investigation./1/ The Levi Guidelines reflected the post-Watergate consensus that the investigation of controversial or unpopular political groups had at times been overzealous and had violated fundamental constitutional rights./2/ Seven years later, in 1983, the Levi Guidelines were superseded by the "Attorney General's Guidelines on General Crimes, Racketeering Enterprise and Domestic Security/Terrorism Investigations," issued by Attorney General William French Smith (the "Smith Guidelines"). The revised guidelines were generally considered to be far less restrictive than the Levi Guidelines. As FBI Director William Webster noted at the time of their issuance, the Smith Guidelines "should eliminate any perceptions that actual or imminent commission of a violent crime is a prerequisite to investigation."/3/ The guidelines provide, in pertinent part, that[a] domestic security/terrorism investigation may be initiated when facts or circumstances reasonably indicate that two or more persons are engaged in an enterprise for the purpose of furthering political or social goals wholly or in part through activities that involve force or violence and a violation of the criminal laws of the United States.Smith Guidelines (reprinted in 32 Crim. L. Rep. (BNA) 3087 (1983)), Section III (B)(1). The standard of "reasonable indication" issubstantially lower than probable cause. In determining whether there is reasonable indication of a federal criminal violation, a Special Agent may take into account any facts or circumstances that a prudent investigator would consider. However, the standard does require specific facts indicating a past, current, or impending violation. There must be an objective, factual basis for initiating the investigation; a mere hunch is insufficient.Id., Section II (C)(1). Given the constitutional command that the government may not suppress or punish statements advocating criminal activity unless they pose an immediate and substantial danger to public safety, Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969), the Smith Guidelines afford the FBI considerable leeway in pursuing investigations of potential violent crime. In a 1984 en banc opinion interpreting the Smith Guidelines, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals found that the directive strikes an appropriate balance between First Amendment rights and legitimate law enforcement. As Judge Posner wrote for the court,[the FBI] may not investigate a group solely because the group advocates [an unpopular cause]; but it may investigate any group that advocates the commission, even if not immediately, of terrorist acts in violation of federal law. It need not wait until the bombs begin to go off, or even until the bomb factory is found.Alliance to End Repression v. City of Chicago, 742 F.2d 1007, 1015 (7th Cir. 1984). Thus, the current guidelines provide the FBI with ample authority to initiate investigations of organizations and individuals similar to those alleged to have been involved in the Oklahoma City bombing. In reaching this conclusion, we note that a good deal of public source material concerning paramilitary right-wing organizations in general -- and the Michigan Militia in particular -- has been readily available to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies for some time. For instance, a front page article about the Michigan Militia in the Detroit Free Press last fall reported:Their goal is to keep the U.S. government in check, through threat of armed rebellion if need be. Gun control advocates, federal firearms agents and the United Nations are among the perceived threats. ... Federal officials are aware of these groups, but "we are not monitoring their growth," said Stanley Zimmerman, head of the Detroit office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "It would be our preference that the militia groups would use the power of the vote rather than the threat of armed violent confrontation to accomplish their goals.""They Cite their Disgust with Government," Detroit Free Press, October 13, 1994, at 1A. Indeed, the Justice Department was specifically alerted to the activities of the Michigan Militia. Morris Dees, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, disclosed in a recent interview that:We warned Attorney General Reno in a letter last October concerning this Militia of Michigan, the one that's involved in this case, and pointed out that they should be checking on them. ... [T]hese people, like Mark Koernke, are out actually advocating the overthrow of the United States government with individuals who are practicing and training with explosives, with assault weapons.ABC News, "This Week with David Brinkley," April 23, 1995. In recent comments concerning the adequacy of the Smith Guidelines, former Attorney General Griffin Bell and former Assistant Attorney General Victoria Toensing have expressed the view that the FBI possessed sufficient authority to investigate and monitor the activities of this organization and affiliated individuals. This conclusion is consistent with the observation of former FBI Director Webster, noted above, that the current guidelines "should eliminate any perceptions that actual or imminent commission of a violent crime is a prerequisite to investigation." As you commence your review into this matter, we strongly urge you to consider the views of many experts who share the opinion of these former officials. We urge you also to give similar careful consideration to any proposals for the modification of the wiretap statute or privacy statutes that would diminish the freedoms that all Americans currently enjoy. Any such proposal must be carefully drafted to address specific and identifiable harms. We urge you also to proceed cautiously in the area of electronic communications. Our country is in the process of developing the communication tools that will take us into the next century. While we share the President's belief that irresponsible speech should be opposed by responsible speech, we do not believe that enhanced surveillance of lawful activity by American citizens will serve the country well. Political and associational rights form the foundation of our democratic society. As the Committee and Congress examine the nation's contemporary security needs, the temptation to find expedient quick fixes must be resisted. Issues as fundamental as the ones you propose to address deserve and demand a thorough and open national debate. We look forward to working with you and the Committee as you consider these difficult questions. Sincerely, Marc Rotenberg, Director David L. Sobel, Legal Counsel cc: Sen. Fred Thompson Sen. Spencer Abraham Sen. Strom Thurmond Sen. Herbert Kohl Sen. Patrick Leahy Sen. Dianne Feinstein ================================================================== Notes /1/ See, generally, Final Report of the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, S. Rep. 755, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. (1976). /2/ Although some critics maintained that the guidelines were unduly restrictive, Attorney General Levi explained that they authorized the initiation of an investigation on the basis of a relatively benign statement such as "The rulers have set the time for the party; let us bring the fireworks," delivered by a group with no known propensity for violence. Alliance to End Repression v. City of Chicago, 742 F.2d 1007, 1012 (7th Cir. 1984) (quoting Congressional testimony of Attorney General Levi). /3/ Alliance to End Repression v.

You've worked hard in the gym, and your body has decided to punish you. It doesn't seem fair, but the stiffness and ache of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is something that almost everyone who trains will experience, not just once, but on a semi-regular basis. Let's take a look at what causes it, and what we can do about it.
DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) Symptoms
DOMS is not to be confused with acute muscle soreness, which kicks in during or immediately after exercise and (hopefully) fades after the activity has ceased. As the name suggests, DOMS manifests 12-24 hours after exercise, peaks at around 48 hours post workout, and in all but the most severe cases, is gone within the week. and is generally felt as an aching, burning, or stiffness in the muscles that have been trained. DOMS can reduce flexibility, mobility, and the power that the muscle is able to exert. Pain is generally not felt when the muscle is at rest, only upon movement. Paradoxically, after an initial spike in pain, exercise can temporarily alleviate symptoms of DOMS (5).
Is DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) Good or Bad?
That's a good question. Scientists still don't know the exact mechanism behind DOMS, but it's thought to involve both mechanical and metabolic stress. One theory is that the microscopic tearing or splaying of muscle and connective tissue causes pressure on the sensors that feel pain. This physical change to the muscle, in addition to the release of enzymes and other compounds from damaged cells, and the effects of lactic acid, are thought to stimulate the body's inflammatory response (1).
DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and Muscle Building
So does DOMS help you build muscle? Yes, but mostly no. There are a number of established ways to promote muscle hypertrophy – tension, stress and damage. While DOMS is an indicator of muscle damage, it is believed that the amount of pain experienced bears no relation to the amount of damage, or the corresponding hypertrophic response (2). On top of this, DOMS can put you out of action or leave you performing below your peak for up to a week, so you're missing out on training opportunities.
That said, DOMS is a pretty benign condition, and some people, particularly those who have a schedule where they have a few days between training body parts, consider DOMS a good thing. The feeling of having worked hard can be of psychological benefit, and some people can use it as a guide to judge their intensity of their workout (3).
Exercising with DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
As discusssed, exercise can reduce the symptoms of DOMS in the short term, and in theory, aerobic exercise should increase blood flow which will provide nutrients and remove metabolic products at an enhanced rate over a passive or sedentary recovery, but there is very little research on the effects of exercise of DOMS affected muscles. One study showed that light aerobic exercise after a DOMS-inducing eccentric exercise protocol enhanced isometric torque, but did not hasten nor hinder recovery (4). The general recommendation is to avoid heavy resistance training using the affected muscle group for 1-2 days after the injury was sustained (2).
Is there a Treatment or Cure for DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)?
There isn't a treatment or cure for DOMS, and the best way to get around the pain and stiffness is by avoiding it in the first place. Always ease into new exercises, and increase intensity slowly.
- Always start at an appropriate level for your fitness and strength. Not only will this help you avoid DOMS, but people who go out too hard are more likely to overdo things to the point of injury, become disilusioned through lack of progress, and ultimately find their workouts unenjoyable.
- Start any new exercise with low weight and high reps. Gradually increase weight and decrease reps as your body adapts.
- You will need to kick it up a notch to make gains, be these in fitness, strength or size. Follow the rule of ten – never increase a parameter, be it weight, reps, or even speed or distance, by more than 10% in a week.
- It's impossible to avoid eccentric exercise, which is the cause of DOMS, but it is possible to keep correct form, which will minimise its occurrence.
DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) Recovery
The recovery period after exercise is very important for avoiding DOMS, and there are a number of things you can do.
- Use a BCAA supplement – BCAAs, with or without Taurine, have been shown to be very effective in reducing the severity and duration of DOMS, speeding up recovery, and promoting muscle growth.
- Taking a recovery protein after a workout – Anabolic BCAAs tell the body to repair the muscles, but a full complement of amino acids are needed to make that happen. Replenishing muscle glucose prevents the body from breaking down muscle protein for energy.
- Antioxidants – These mitigate the free radical damage that can come from strenuous exercise and have been shown to ease the symptoms of DOMS.
- Dose up on Omega-3 – Omega-3 essential fatty acids have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which can prevent DOMS from taking full hold.
DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) Relief
If you're suffering, there are a few things that can help
- Hot compress
- NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Voltaren
- Sports Massage
But the tried and true way to get rid of DOMS is time.

Why We Are the Best NAATI translation service
As the information communication technology continues to connect more people, the world keeps getting smaller every day. It is becoming a global village where people can easily connect and engage regardless of the distance. For example, besides talking on the telephone, people who are thousands of miles apart can now chat in real-time via messaging and video, thanks to the internet. Of cause, telephones have been around for as long as one can remember, connecting people, but the quality of the calls we enjoy today are nowhere close to what our predecessors enjoyed a few years back. It is better and more enhanced than before.
The Language Barrier Setback for Globalization
However, despite all the things that are promoting the global village phenomenon, a certain factor remains to hinder this phenomenon. It is none other than the language barrier issue.
With nearly seven thousand languages spoken in the world today, at least according to https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/how-many-languages-are-there-world, communication between people who do not speak the same language can be very tricky. It is impossible for two individuals who do not speak the same language to communicate in an effective manner without a translator. If there is nobody who understands and speaks both languages to provide translation, the two parties will not be able to understand each other's message.

Final Thoughts
A professional translation service has become a necessity in this day and age when the world is aiming to get more connected than ever.

Car Tax Explained
Car taxes, also known as vehicle tax are the taxes levied upon the vehicles to be used on the public roads of the UK, or parked for that matter. These taxes are to ensure the lawful ownership and use of the vehicles owned by people.
A car tax details or proof was shown through the tax disc until October 2014 as a sign of having paid the vehicle excise duty. Since then, there is no need to display it can be traced from the number plate of the car and the information could be retrieved from the database by the concerned authorities.
How is Car Tax Calculated
Car tax is calculated based on the bands. There are thirteen bands representing the engine size which is the common determinant when it comes to the band and hence the car tax levied. But that has changed since March 2011 and now the band is determined based on the CO2 emission rates per kilometre. The first year rate which is lower for vehicles is said to be an indication about the environmental impact of one's vehicle.
These thirteen bands (A-M) are the source of ease when it comes to calculation of vehicle tax on your own, with the band A starting from up to 100g/ kilometre, and ending at band M which crosses the barrier of 255g/kilometre and is charged the highest. This encourages fuel efficiency and stresses on the very importance of it along with the benefits a person enjoys with the high band cars.
The increase in taxes over time has been signalling the high rates of fuel and wastage of it. That could be one of the reasons why the shift of the tax based on car engine to the one based on emission rates took place. This has been done by the government of the UK to encourage green environment and less wastage of fuel along with violation of basic environmental rights. The high taxes for the cars with band M or around that are a dearth to the non-green vehicles. Not only that, but the incentive given to the band A, and further of the similar category in the form of tax exemption has witnessed surprising results since the introduction of the law.
How do I apply for Car Tax?
If you own a vehicle, you'll be receiving the V11 reminder letter for the payment of your taxes. There are no exemptions on this tax so you need to make sure you pay it on time. A logbook which is also known as the V5c registration certificate could be used along with the option of keeper supplement V5C/2 for taxing your vehicle if you've just bought it. You can tax your vehicle by phone or by post to the post office which deals in vehicle tax. While paying your tax at the post office, you'll have to pay for either your V11 or the V5C registration or V5C/2.
People who own a vehicle but do not use it on the roads need not pay the taxes by the law of the UK. However they're supposed to make a SORN notice which is the Statutory Off Road Notice for keeping the vehicle no longer in use.
The taxation system makes it easy and permissible to use the vehicles in the country with comfort and as a law abiding citizen.
How to Find the Best Payday Loan Providers Online
Payday loans are often the best solution for people who need urgent cash. They are pretty easy to avail as there is little concern on behalf of the lender. Payday companies don't even run checks on your credit scores. They just want to know that you have an active work status and that you can return their money with interest the following month.
The reason behind short term loan lenders being so easy towards borrowers is that they receive money along with their fees when the next payday arrives.
However, as there is a pool of payday lenders to choose from, people often get confused. If you are searching for an online payday service, make sure you read the following steps which will guide you towards a better selection.
Research on various payday services
Most people are in such a hurry to avail payday offers that they never bother to run checks on the companies that are providing them short term loans.
Take time to do your research and rank each service. Check the top lists of UK's payday providers from which you can choose the best.
Call to ask about their payday loans
You must make a habit to be sure of the service you are using and it's also essential to call them before you sign up with them.
Ask them about their terms and conditions and inquire about any additional fee they will charge you along with their interest rates.
Avoid companies who don't ask for your details
When you call payday lenders, they will also ask some questions and require your bank statements as proof. Some companies also advertise that they have no issues with your previously borrowed amounts and credit scores. All this is fine. However, if they do not run any checks on you at all, even related to your employment status, you should be smart enough to avoid them. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Beware of scammers
The payday industry is growing rapidly in the UK. In the name of short term loans, many people are scamming borrowers by taking all their private account and NINO information so they can steal money from them. Such lenders always offer eye catching discounts which people are unable to resist. As a rule, never pay any sort of an advance to your loan source.
Recheck with friends about your payday service
If you have someone in your circle that uses payday loan services, it's a good idea to have a word with them. Go online and read the reviews posted for each service and find out the best one.
Before you select, you have to be sure that the company that you will be paying back is reliable and will be fair in dealing with you.
Six Great Ways You Can Make Money While Travelling on the Road
There aren't many people who would say no to 'travelling'. In fact, over fifty percent of the people in the United Kingdom travelled abroad in 2014, a number that has been growing ever since. The only problem is that it costs quite a lot, which is also the prime reason given by those who ditch the experience.
Fortunately, there are so many ways you can easily save money while on the go. According to the famous Croatian traveller—Tomislav Perko—if you do it right, you might as well be able to spend lesser money than you would staying at home.
To make travelling even more alluring, we have come up with ways that would not only save you money, but also let you earn some on the side.
Showcase Your Skills
If you are good at juggling balls, freestyle, or even playing an instrument, use it to your advantage. While you travel, you can stop by for some time, and showcase you skills on the street. Make sure you have a small box or an upside-down hat for passersby to donate as they watch your performance. This is a great way to earn as people will enjoy a short performance on the street from a non-native.
Work At Resorts
You can also offer your part-time services at a resort where you stay. The best way is to assist during a few rush-hours which will earn you enough to last the day. Not only will you save your travel-money, but also get a fun experience out of it.
Become a Tour Guide
If it is some place you have been before, or have good knowledge about, you can become a tour guide for others. Since local tour guides are often quite expensive, anyone charging lesser will do for the other tourists. In addition to that, you also get to visit your favourite places while cashing in on your information about them.
Travel Blogging
Travel blogs are getting more and more popular among tourists around the world. Since it is hard to find a good place to visit, it is your travel-blogs that will help tourists to get a prior, hands-on review. Travel bloggers can earn from holding a subscription fee for exclusive content. Furthermore, you can also feature a particular place—a hotel or a resort for instance—while charging them instead of your readers.
Become a Bartender
Bartending is one of your best bets to earn cash while travelling. Several places in cities and towns are willing to pay easy cash for bartending services.
Sell Your Art
If there is some specific art of yours, may be a handmade pot, or a scenic painting, you can sell it while on tour. Many tourists sketch people on the go and charge them. If in luck, you might even make a pretty good sale on your art, or get a few additional orders for the future.
The best way is to make a budget of what you plan on spending each day, and then figure out how much time you would give to earning that amount. Some days, you will be able to earn a small portion of it, while other days could bring in enough cash to last more than just a day.
What makes Two-year PCP deals so Great?
Personal Contract Pricing, or PCP, provides greater benefits in financing a car purchase. The loan option turns out to be a better deal as compared to leasing and conventional auto loans. One ways you can lower the loan burden is by spreading the loan amount over a longer period of time. But, it also inflates the net loan amount – unless the loan has zero-percent APR.
For instance, if you've availed a 3-year car loan of £25,000 at 2.5% APR, then you will have to pay £722 per month. In case of a 2-year car loan, the monthly payment amounts to £1,069 per month. Clearly the higher period car loan has lower monthly payment.
However, with a higher period auto loan the net payment is higher as compared to a lower payment period i.e. £25,992 for 3-year loan and £25,656 for a 2-year loan.
So, a two-year PCP deal generally provides greater value as compared to a three-year period loan. By artificially reducing the monthly payments through extending the payment period, you inflate the net amount that you pay for the vehicle. This defeats the very reason for which you opt for a higher period loan.
Why a two-year PCP deal is Better than a three-year deal?
The PCP deal allows you to own a car by making monthly payments. At the end of the payment period, you can either purchase the vehicle by making a 'balloon payment', sell the car back to the finance company, or trade the vehicle for a new one. The last of these is where a two-year PCP deals offer greater value as compared to the typical three-year period deal.
To understand the reason why a two-year deal provides greater value, you should know that every car that is purchased using a PCP option has a guaranteed future value (GFV). This value is calculated and quoted by the company that issues PCP. A car will have great GFV at the end of a two-year period as compared to a three-year period. This means that if you trade-in the car after the end of a two year period, you will have greater a equity for initiating a new PCP deal as compared to initiating the deal after a three year period.
In addition, some car brands provide 0% APR on two-year PCPs, but not on a three- year schemes. In such a case the lower period plan will entail lower monthly payment and greater GFV with inflating the net payment made for the car.
In addition, some car manufacturers charge higher rate on the longer period PCP, and a lower rate on shorter period plan. This again makes a shorter period two-year plan a better option as compared to the usual three-year PCP plan.
In short, you would benefit more from opting for a two-year PCP. The GFV of the car will typically be higher at the end of two years, while the monthly amount is lower making it a better deal as compared to the alternative three-year scheme.
Guarantor Loans – What Does It Mean To Be A Guarantor
First of all let's start with what a guarantor loan is. A guarantor loan is something which is done when a person has bad credit history. If a person who comes to a bank and asks for a loan gets declined, but they really need the money right now and their family or friends don't have enough to borrow them, the only way they can get a loan is by signing a guarantor loan.
Guarantor loan works like this. You find a family member, friend or even a colleague who has a good credit record and ask them to become your guarantor. If that person agrees, that means that you can go to a bank and present this person as your guarantor. A guarantor guarantees that you will pay back the loan. Should you fail to pay the loan, everything you borrowed falls on that person to pay it for you.
Guarantor loans require from a guarantor to be over 21 years old and to have a good credit history.
These loans usually expect you to bring money back in one to five years and normally don't exceed 10 thousand dollars.
But as the title stands, what does it really mean to be a guarantor and what you should expect?
Being a guarantor is very risky. Should a person who you're guaranteeing for fails to pay the money back, that burden falls on you and you alone. The most important thing to do before becoming a guarantor is to properly inform yourself about everything there is to know.
Think Twice
Here are a few of the things you need to consider before becoming a guarantor.
- First of all, why does this certain person needs a guarantor for in the first place. How come they have poor credit history and will they be able to pay back the money the borrowed.
- Secondly, how responsible is the person who is asking you to become a guarantor. Are they responsible enough to take this seriously and not cause you any problems down the road.
- Also, how important is this loan to a person who is asking you to become a guarantor. Is it something they really need or is it maybe something they could simply save money for, for some period of time.
- The important thing to remember is, being a guarantor doesn't only mean you will be paying back the original loan, it also requires you to pay back the interest rate. So the question you should ask yourself is will you be able to pay it all back if a person who you're guaranteeing for can't or won't.
- Being a guarantor is a very serious business and you might even be asked to name something as a security should you fail to repay the debt.
After thinking about everything that we've mentioned above and most of all about the person who you're about to guarantee for and you're still in doubt. The best course of action would be to seek legal advice.
Useful Payday Loan Tips for Everyone
The following article will provide you with the best advice that will teach you the best method principles of web-based payday loans.
Payday loan corporations offer different techniques to get around regulations that are usury and are meant for protecting buyers. Also, they usually charge completely legal fees. So, this can go up to 10 times the rates of interest than traditional loans.Furthermore, you should try repaying the loan until the due date. If you extend the loan, then you may simply compound the rates of interest. By this, you will make everything even worse: you will need to pay back the borrowed sum down the line.
Calculate before borrowing
Many variables influence the amount of cash possible to get by taking out payday loan. This can be established by your income sum. Payday lenders will often calculate the money you will borrow, and then they establish the highest amount for which you are qualified for. It would be smart to keep this in your mind when pursuing pay day loan for whichever reason.
Also, always be skeptical about most expenses that are related to your payday loan. You could be shocked to see the rates some companies charge for. So, it can be a huge shock to realize how expensive this particular loan can be. The conclusion is: Never hesitate asking the payday advance.
Always keep all paperwork related to your loan in order not to neglect making timely payments since failing to cover them within the deadline can cause big fees that you will not be able to pay off.
Check every details
When thinking of getting a payday loan, it is better to check every detail since payday lenders offer a large number of rates and fees. You never know when some other sites offer better deals than the other ones. So: Do not borrow any money until you have examined a lot of payday loan sites.
If you wish for a payday advance, be sure that you get all the information in writing before you have signed any kind of contract.
Those people who obtain cash advances should try doing the research before they have submitted the applying. What I want to say is that you should not simply raise the very 1st loan from the company you have found. Try comparing rates of interest and payback policies before applying to a certain corporation; judge the regards to various loans prior to actually choosing one.
Also, get to know payday lender prior to taking further step. Be completely sure you have employed a client that is trustworthy. Also, have all the data in writing so as to easily establish the sum you will have to pay off until a certain date.
Contact with those upfront companies only that are in regards to the rates and fees on cash advances. Try avoiding corporations that are constantly hiding their loans.
What You Should Know Before Opening Your Savings Account
If you are not so good at saving money for buying something big and investing it smart, but instead you spend it on all kind of things that you do not even need. Then the thing you should do is surely open a savings account. Other from being a great way to save your money, it could be a great gift for someone you really care about. Birthday gift to your kid might be the best solution and it will also save you the trouble of choosing and buying every next birthday present, just put more money in their bank account and they will be content if not delighted. Besides by opening your children's saving account, you can ensure their future and save money for their college tuition, or for starting business of their own.
Things that you should pay attention
When choosing for savings account, you have to plan it all upfront, how much money do you want to stock on your savings account, do you want access to your account in every second or you want to lock it, do you want to manage your account via Internet or by visiting a bank. If you already decided to open your account and which type do you need, here are a few things that you should pay attention to:
Read contact
Read the small print at the end of your contract before you sign it, just to make sure there are not some tricks, that will make you lose all your interest when keeping your money in a bank. This applies for everything hereinafter.
Pick an account with easy access
Easy access means that you will be able to access your account every time you need it. However, if you see 'easy access' written in big font, do not fall under its spell, before reading the small fonts. Often the easy access can be limited by the number of times you are allowed to withdraw your money. If you are saving your money for so called rainy days, you might not want this, or be sure the number of withdrawal possibilities are enough for you.
If you really want to earn some money by saving it in a bank, and it is the only purpose you opened your account, then the right choice for you may be the notice account. Assuming that you won't have to withdraw your money immediately. Notice type account means that you will have to notice the bank that you will need to make a withdrawal in advance. How many days upfront will you have to notice your bank, varies from bank to bank, but it is usually thirty, sixty or hundred and twenty days in advance. These Notice accounts give you the possibility of higher returns than an easy access and instant access ones.
The difference between these two types of saving accounts are narrowing in the recent times, which means that it is not so big a difference which type of account you will chose. However, we hope that this article helped you to make up your mind about saving accounts.

What You Need To Know Before Applying For A Credit Card
When used responsively, credit card can be a very useful financial tool with a range of benefits. It expands your purchasing power onto the online and phone purchases, it allows you to buy whatever you need even in foreign countries, it can bring you bonus points and rewards, and even improve your credit rating if you pay the card's debt timely and in full. Still, before you apply for a credit card, there are some things you must know and reconsider in order to be sure that this is the right payment option for you.
Types of credit cards
First of all, there are different types of credit cards. You have general purpose cards, which can be used anywhere, for all types of payments and purchases. There are also private label retail cards, which are used only at specific stores, usually those who issued them. Most general purpose cards are are unsecured, which means that they are issued based on your credit rating and credit history, and they are not backed by any assets or accounts. On the other hand, there are also secured credit cards, which are baked by a deposit account in which you add the funds, and in case you default the payment, the card issuer is entitled to claiming the funds from that account.
Then, there are people who own a large number of credit cards and who are able to joggle the debt and pay everything on time. However, this is not suitable for everyone, and it is generally not recommended having too many credit cards, because it is difficult to keep track of the debt, and you can eventually spend more on interests than you have actually spent on card purchases.
Interest rates
Credit cards come with different interest rates, which you are obliged to pay if you are late with repaying the debt for the card. It can vary from 0% (for a limited period of time) to as much as 30%. Therefore, when choosing the credit card company, you need to be sure to understand all the requirements you need to fulfill and all the potential fees and interest you may be required to pay at certain conditions.
More information here
It is also important to know that, when you apply for a credit card, you will be given the agreement you need to sign. It is legally binding as much as any contract, so you need to make sure to read it carefully before signing. The credit card agreement stipulates the following: the credit limit, the annual percentage rate, the method of interest calculation, whether the annual percentage rate is fixed or variable, the duration of grace period and all the fees you need to pay at certain conditions. Therefore, pay attention to these details not only before signing the agreement, but also before you decide to choose the credit card company to issue you the card. You should do so in order to be sure that they all work well for you and that you will be able to respect the deal.

Antitrust Posture Of The 2008 Presidential Candidates
Each new administration influences antitrust enforcement in a variety of ways, such as through Department of Justice staffing and enforcement decisions as well as through appointments to the Federal Trade Commission.
While it is difficult to predict to what degree campaign rhetoric will translate into actual policy, it is safe to say that either an Obama or McCain presidency will result in a shift in U.S. antitrust policy....

Revelations on Wednesday that a hacker was able to hijack sensitive Twitter company documents has spurned discussion around the potential security implications of on-demand computing.
As more organizations move toward cloud services, they must consider the possible data security consequences, Amrit Williams, CTO of security and systems management firm BigFix, told SCMagazineUS.com on Thursday.
In the case of Twitter, an intruder using the alias "Hacker Croll" was able to crack the password to a high-ranking employee's personal email account, which in turn, gave him access to that worker's Google Apps account, according to a blog post Wednesday written by Biz Stone, Twitter's co-founder.
The account stored sensitive Twitter communications, including financial reports and plans for a reality show based on the popular microblogging service, according to TechCrunch, a tech blog. TechCrunch received more than 300 documents from Hacker Croll and decided to publish some on Wednesday.
"Any organization that uses Google -- or any third-party for providing services -- has no validation that the right level of security controls are being implemented," Williams said. "People are running headlong into cloud computing without really understanding the ramifications."
But others said the fault should rest with Twitter for practicing lax security policies.
"This is not really about the innate security or insecurity of cloud computing," said Keith Crosley, director of market development at email security firm Proofpoint. "It's about password security. This hack can happen to any enterprise that makes web-based email available."
He told SCMagazineUS.com on Thursday that organizations must enforce strong password policy and force their employees to make regular password changes on email accounts.
Jim Walden, a former chief of the Computer Crimes Section in the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York and now a lawyer specializing in white-collar crime, said the problem is that Twitter permitted an employee to keep confidential company information linked to a personal email account.
"If an employee was permitted to keep such vital information on his personal email account, there are effectively no safeguards," Walden said. "If the employee was not permitted to keep it there, someone needs to investigate whether this was a lapse or an attempted theft. Either way, Twitter has a new and expensive problem, which will carry reputational consequences."
A Twitter spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Six Degrees Theory May Hold Some Water
Posted: 03:07PM
Author: jammin
The theory of six degrees of separation, which says that it only takes six steps to link one person in the world to anyone else may actually be reasonably accurate if a US study of instant messaging is any indication. The theory itself has proved a somewhat popular social phenomenon since it was first published, spawning a movie of the same name, as well as the now famous Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon trivia game. The study, carried out by researchers on the Microsoft Messaging project, used a database that covered all of the Microsoft Instant messaging network (a good chunk of global messaging traffic). Using the assumption that those who had sent each other a message were aquaintances, it was found that the average number of steps to link all the users was around 6.6. Whether you believe the study rings true for the global population as a whole is up to you.

The Darkness II Demo Gets Dated
The Darkness II is one of those games that has us intrigued, we aren't quite sure it's going to be a decent game but we are pretty confident it will be one hell of a weird and whacked out ride. It's been almost five years since the originally game was released and it looks like the time away has done the game good. That brings us to the point of this post and that is to tell you that 2K Games has finally announced when you will be able to get your hands on a demo.
The game goes live for Xbox Live Gold subscribers on Jan 17th, a week later on the 24th for the rest of XBL members, Steam users and North American PSN members. Then one day later PSN members in Europe and Asia get to give it ago. If you like what you see, you won't have long to get your hands on the full game which drops on February 7th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. But whatever you do, make sure you control "The Darkness" and don't let it control you. If you can.
