To forgive is desirable, but to forget is to be complicit in the very act that needs forgiveness. We must never forget the cries of the victims; they must be heard no matter how long they wait. Their suffering never leaves them.
A survivor who goes by the name of Gilo, has called on the Archbishop of Canterbury to implement mandatory reporting of abuse after the Archbishop failed to take a clear stand on the policy.
Gilo is part of a group of survivors who are campaigning for a review into compensation awards, and for mandatory reporting of child abuse allegations.
Gilo was sexually assaulted by the Reverend Garth Moore, a former diocesan chancellor, who died in 1990. After a long battle trying to raise awareness about his ordeal, the Church of England finally settled his claim for £35,000. The case spurred on the Elliott review, which set out important reforms to safeguarding procedures.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, also issued a public apology to Gilo, after ignoring 17 letters Gilo wrote to him. In his reply to Gilo, Welby suggests that mandatory reporting is a "complex issue". He also confirms…

Written by Leah Pinner, College Group Member of FARE
I can think of a better place to spend my summer break than the ER. But there I was, being treated for an anaphylactic reaction—my first sign of a food allergy, at age 19.
It was early July, and I was recovering from elbow surgery at home in Massachusetts. One night my family had shrimp, a food I've eaten countless times before. My throat started feeling tight, I was coughing, my body was covered in hives and my lips turned blue. I remember saying: "Mom, I don't feel good."
Fortunately, she is a school bus driver trained in spotting and treating allergic reactions. She sprang into action, called 911 and was about to inject me with my brother's EpiPen when the ambulance arrived.
By the time the whole thing was over, a specialist had diagnosed me with food allergies to shellfish, haddock, garlic, onion, oats, poppy seed, mustard seed and sunflower.
Almost four months later, I'm still getting over the shock.
Seeking Support
I felt scared and alone, and I was too afraid to sleep or eat after the anaphylaxis. I needed someone to talk to, but everyone I knew with allergies was born with them and didn't understand what it was like to develop them as an adult. A Facebook search for "food allergy support group" turned up some options.
The best fit has been the FARE College Food Allergy Support Facebook Group. It's open to people with any food allergy and the members are all students like me, facing the same situations I am. So they understand what I'm going through in a college setting. I check in on it a few times a week.
From there I went to the FARE (that's Food Allergy Research & Education) website at foodallergy.org. The Newly Diagnosed section caught my attention right away and was good at explaining things. I liked that they have section with resources for college students, too.
Back to School
My dad was convinced I would be too scared to go back to college, about seven hours away in upstate New York. But my mom knew that I'm strong and was up to the challenge.
So when I returned to Clarkson University for my sophomore year a few weeks later, I knew things would be different. I just didn't know how much.
My first stop was the accessibility services office. Because I'm on the meal plan, they introduced me to the head of dining services, and together they assured me everything would be OK. I have found that the buffet-style dining hall is actually safest, though I tend to eat in the Student Center since it is closest to my dorm. It's definitely easier to grab a meal when the dining halls aren't so busy—I can take my time and ask questions. But when they don't post their menus or ingredients, I don't know what's in an item or if it's safe. When in doubt, I skip the food.
You know what's in, like, everything? Onion powder. Garlic and garlic powder. Dining is used to leaving out or noting ingredients like nuts, but my trigger foods pop up everywhere I look.
Right now I'm living in a dorm suite, with no access to a kitchen. I stock safe snacks, but it's not enough to live on. Next year I'd like to get an apartment so I can control what I eat. No garlic or mustard allowed!
My Social Scene
No matter how responsible I am, my safety depends on everyone around me.
I love my school, where I'm part of the student orchestra and acapella groups. I told my friends about my food allergies as soon as it all happened. When it comes to dating, I tell dates what my allergies are, and they have been pretty perceptive and respectful about it. My allergist also warned me to watch the alcohol at parties, because I need to constantly pay attention to what I eat and drink. I also showed many of my closest friends how to use my EpiPen and my emergency plan, just in case.
But not everyone wants to eat at 5 p.m., when it's easiest for me. And the most popular restaurant in town for students? It's a place known for its seafood and shrimp dishes. So I usually eat beforehand, then go hang out while they eat. In fact, I've eaten at a restaurant only once since my diagnosis; I just don't think I'm ready yet. It feels isolating, but I remind myself that I need to stay safe and take care of myself.
Looking Ahead
As great as my friends have been, people aren't as sympathetic as I'd like them to be. There seem to be many more vegetarians and vegans on campus than people with food allergies—so this potentially life-threatening condition is not as well understood. (If I hear one more person say, "Oh yeah, I'm a picky eater too!" or "It's the same as my lactose intolerance!"…) I'm thinking of starting an allergy awareness day on campus.
I also think we need to offer more mental health services to help people adjust to life with food allergies. For me it was traumatic and now I'm talking to a therapist, which is helping.
The school year is still so new, and I'm definitely still getting the hang of things. I know what foods to look out for, but cross-contact accidents and miscommunications still happen. I've had several minor allergic reactions that I treat with antihistamines—and one time I had to call EMS.
But my degree in aeronautical engineering won't earn itself. I'm focused on my lifelong dream of one day working at NASA. So I've committed to making things work, one bite at a time.

Naeem Khan's Stunning Fall 2017 Collection
Naeem Khan's 2017 Fall collection was absolutely breathtaking! I truly enjoyed seeing his designs at this year's New York Fashion Week. His 2017 fall collection was inspired by a mix of different cultures and ethnic traditions ranging from the Middle East, Poland and India. The entire collection screamed diversity, a concept that the talented designer wanted to highlight in his pieces. Fashion Designer Naeem Khan is well known for his use of embroideries and embellishments. The show opened up with a sexy linear beaded jacket and pants worn casually over a sexy laced bra. Other pieces showcased on the catwalk featured sophisticated velvet drawstring pants, jumpsuits, jackets and gowns. It also included sequin animal print and floral prints, fringed minis, and body-hugging short dresses. The final piece on the runway was quite spectacular! The show ended with a single model walking down the runway sporting a majestic ball gown accessorized with a lavish gold flower crown and a veil to match. The model walked slowly and gracefully as Maya Angelou's poem "Human Family" reverberated across the room, spreading Naeem's important message of diversity. I absolutely loved it! The designer's intention certainly shone through his collection. He managed to create a contemporary blend of techniques and art from different cultures of the world and packaged it all in one classy ready to wear collection. This was truly an inspiring collection!

Georgia bicycle helmet laws only require riders who are younger than 16 to wear one. Despite helmets not being mandatory for riders older than 15, failure to wear one could still impact a bike accident claim if wearing one may have prevented your injury or reduced its severity. Consulting injury attorneys in Atlanta can help you better understand your legal rights as a bicyclist.
Impact of Helmet Use in a Bike Accident Claim
If the negligent actions of another party were found to be the cause of a bicycle crash, it then would need to be determined if the bicyclist was partially at fault. Failure to wear a helmet may lead to a reduction in available damages, especially if it can be proven that the injuries might have been less severe or even prevented.
Safe Kids East Central program coordinator Rene Hopkins, who was quoted by Science Daily, points out, "Wearing a bicycle helmet reduces the risk of severe brain damage from an injury by up to 88 percent." The risk of a brain injury is reduced not only in children, but also adults. Although not required byGeorgia bicycle helmet laws, failure to wear a helmet could be determined to have contributed to your injury and resultant damages.
Seeking Help from Injury Attorneys in Atlanta
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2010 there were 18 fatalities stemming from a bike crash in Georgia. So if you're riding over to the Piedmont Park Conservatory and you are struck by a motorist on the way, consult an injury attorney at the Law Offices of Shane Smith. We will review the details and explain the impact helmet use may have on your case, regardless of Georgia bicycle helmet laws.

Femme Friday: Catherine Short
Femme Friday is about celebrating the women who inspire us with their life.
Enter Catherine Short.
She's one of the people I most admire. She is bursting with brilliance in every facet of her life. Catherine is one of those people you have conversations with that stick with you years later. She's smart, fearless and continually seeks adventure through travel and special projects alongside her equally talented husband, Jordan. She's a working momma and runs a lifestyle blog that is a must-read! If that's not impressive enough, my girl has impeccable style both in her fashion and home design.
Catherine has been on my mind from the very beginning of Femme Friday. I KNEW we would need to share this sweet momma and 'Queen of Balance'!
Seriously, this babe does it all. See below. ;)
-xo, Chels
1. Will you tell us a little about your life and who you are?
Hi, I'm Catherine! My husband, Jordan, and I are Chicago natives, but we've called Nashville home for three years now. We miss Chicago, but we don't miss the winters. ;-) I have a B.A. in Psychology, but life (as it does!) took me in a different direction. After working in the beauty industry for a few years after college, I desired a more flexible life -- one that allowed me to have time for my hobbies (such as blogging). I began working (what I thought to be an in-between job) at a coffee shop and I am still there, six years later!
Our son, Phoenix, was born last summer! We are learning to navigate these early parenting years one day at a time. He's such a joy.
For me, it's important to stretch my mind, travel far, and always have a stash of dark chocolate."
2. You wrote a post on your journey through infertility and then becoming pregnant with your son, Phoenix. What advice or encouragement would you give to someone walking through this currently?
First off, I would say I am so sorry. Infertility is a challenging road to travel as it involves so many facets of one's life -- their body, their partner, their dreams. It's so hard at times, but please do not let infertility steal the joy in your life. It's much easier said than done, but I had a very distinct moment -- about a year and half into our three year journey -- where I remember thinking I have to continue making plans and moving forward. So, we bought plane tickets for trips we didn't know if we'd have to reschedule and moved to another state.
3. You are by far one of the most balanced people I know; in all aspects of life. How do you achieve such balance?
Thank you for saying this. ;-) Honestly, I believe balance is a gift God gave me. There are many things I don't possess naturally, but balance is one (though sometimes I rely too much on balance and don't take risks!). I will say my parents didn't let us think too hard about decisions -- they encouraged us to make the next right decision instead of dwelling on every possible outcome.
Practically speaking, I focus less on individual meals or days and instead think more broadly. It's impossible to live everyday with perfect balance, but every moment in the week adds up!
4. Your blog is absolutely fantastic. What started you into blogging?
I started blogging in High School (anyone remember Livejournal?), but ashortblonde is my passion project. I missed writing and I like the visual time capsule blogging provides me.
5. Can you give some insight into your style and how you select new pieces for your wardrobe? (I'm obsessed and you always look great).
I recently told a coworker when I was in my early twenties it was cool to look like you were a 35 year-old lawyer. I wore pointy-toed shoes, button-ups, and trousers!
Recently, I've gotten into the concept of building not a quarterly capsule wardrobe, but an all year basics capsule -- the building blocks of your closet. You might shift seasonal items in and out, but the core stays the same. Basics could include a few pairs of jeans, a white and black tee, a chambray button up, etc. This has been helpful for me as I've essentially had to start-over with my closet. I didn't buy many clothes while we were trying to get pregnant. Most of my clothes were several years old and weren't practical for nursing.
I want to buy less when the clothes I have in my closet fit really well. As a mom of a toddler, I gravitate towards sporty-chic. If you run into me around town, I'm most likely wearing jeans, a slouchy tee, and birkenstocks.
6. What is your favorite thing about living in Nashville?
The city is practically exploding with new businesses popping up everywhere. Despite the potential growing pains, I appreciate how supportive Nashville is towards its residences. When someone is talking about their side gig, I only ever experience genuine enthusiasm.
7. Best restaurant-must-go-to- in Nashville?
We share a common love for Burger Up. ;-) I also suggest Butchertown Hall -- they're good for brunch, dinner or even just drinks! You obviously must visit a few of the amazing coffee shops in town: Barista Parlor, Crema, Dose (my personal favorite latte) and Steadfast (to name a few).
8. What kind of exercises do you like to do?
I swam competitively growing up, but I really don't like cardio anymore! I prefer to go on walks and strength and tone through yoga. It's been awhile since I've been able to practice regularly, but Yoga with Adriene on YouTube is an awesome resource if you can't attend a class.
9. Somehow you manage to eat well among all the other things you do, how do you keep up with eating healthy?
I grew up eating casseroles, but also a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables as my dad loves to garden. It was balanced...for the 90s. ;-) When I was in highschool I realized (despite 2 practices 5-6 days a week) I was gaining weight and it was mostly because I'd come home from swim practice and eat bagel bites with my brother. He also swam, but had a crazy metabolism. I had a normal metabolism.
Since that day I learned to stop eating late at night and pay attention to what my body actually needs. I also think through how I'll incorporate fruits and vegetables into my day. I keep an abundance of produce in the house -- I begin to panic when our spinach is low!
10. What are you favorite busy day go-to meals?
I try to make one or two meals with leftovers on non-busy days. I also keep frozen organic veggie burgers from Costco in our freezer. They come to the rescue a lot! And, when in doubt roast everything. I threw a bunch of vegetables on a baking sheet this evening and I now have vegetables for the week.

I was writing a little commentary on how I feel about gender and sexuality..you know it's an ongoing discussion in my head. Well coincidentially I came across this article on Tantra from Goop, and I encourage you to read it because it's good. This has been my experience.
I'm probably attracted to the same percentage of men as I am of women (that is, a very small percentage), it's just a matter of finding a person that complements you. Like, I'm of a strong feminity and soft sensuality, and I need my partner to be able to work with that. Given the right balance, it doesn't make any difference to me whether a person is male or female. In fact, I prefer the androgynous, I often can't even tell my lover's gender from afar! They tend to have long hair and soft features, and often wear makeup and female clothes. Although of course sex would be challenging with a woman, I'm really into phallic instruments.
From Goop, where it's explained much more eloquently:
Each human has both masculine and feminine in them. We usually tend to enjoy one aspect more than the other—that's what is called the essence.
The feminine in men and women alike enjoys the flow of life and love, revels in the ability to enjoy beauty, nature, textures, colors, and experiences. Fullness is the feminine principle. Sexually speaking, the partner with a feminine essence enjoys the aspects of surrender, dissolution, and being ravished.
The masculine in men and women alike enjoys the forward motion of directed action and purpose. A time/space grid of linear planning and thinking feels enjoyable to the masculine. The masculine principle is emptiness. Through meditation, watching sports, competition, having a drink, "zoning out" in front of a TV, and relaxation through sex are activities the masculine in a person enjoys.
Men and women have both traits, but in a polarized (meaning sexually oriented) relationship one partner takes on the feminine expression and one takes on the more masculine expression and the radical differences in orientation create a strong arc of sexual polarity. The further the "poles" are apart, the stronger the sexual attraction.
Gender has very little to do with polarity practices. The only important thing is that one partner animates one end of the spectrum, while the other partner goes as far to the other end as possible for the sake of the strong arc of polarity. Polarity works like physics, with easily applicable rules that can produce polarity almost instantly. (In workshops I can teach these techniques and even strangers can effortlessly produce polarity). It's much easier producing polarity than it is to find a compatible loving relationship.

A new attraction is set to open in arguably the most beautiful garden in Oklahoma City. The Myriad Botanical Gardens will soon open a huge interactive fountain for children. The new children's fountain will resemble a storm cycle complete with a spray-ground feature.
The Myriad Botanical Gardens have been an attraction in downtown Oklahoma City since 1988. Located at 301 W. Reno Avenue, the beautiful garden stands on a 17-acre piece of land that offers a beautiful and serene oasis in the middle of the city with abundant trees and exotic plants. It also features a degree of an animal reserve, as well as additional rare plant species, contained within the artificial biosphere – the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory.
The new interactive fountain is made to resemble a storm cycle with its mosaic blue cloud sculpture. The pillar that holds the clouds resemble tornadoes while the sculpture features flash outward like lightning, large sprays boom like thunder and several drizzle features represent a heavy rain storm. The cycle runs for approximately 15 minutes at which point all of the remaining water is sprayed on the ground.

In this week's Parsha, we see Yosef telling Lashon Hora about his brothers. What Yosef reported were actions that he thought were sins on their part; however, in actuality, their actions were misinterpreted based on the way Yosef saw his brothers behave.
Some examples of this may be found in a passage in the Talmud Yerushalmi in Peiah (פרק א' הלכה א', דף ד.) which states that Yosef told Yaakov that he saw the brothers consume flesh torn from a living animal that had not been slaughtered, which was a forbidden act. Truthfully, however, the brothers did no such act; Yosef simply misinterpreted what he saw. Yosef might have seen the brothers eating from meat that still quivered after being slaughtered, which is permissible, or he may have seen the brothers eating an animal fetus from a mother that had been slaughtered which is also permissible. This fetus doesn't have to be slaughtered and what the brothers did was therefore allowed. Hashem punished Yosef מדה כנגד מדה, measure for measure, for his Lashon Hora, saying that for speaking Lashon Hora about his brothers when they really did nothing wrong, because they ate meat which indeed had been previously slaughtered, they will show Yosef's coat dipped in the blood of a goat that had been previously slaughtered to their father.
Another example of Yosef's Lashon Hora is when he tells his father that he heard his brothers call Bilhah's and Zilpah's sons slaves. This was also a misinterpreted accusation by Yosef. In actuality, the brothers called the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah "sons of maids," referring to their mothers' original status before they married Yaakov. The brothers did not mean to imply that Bilhah and Zilpah or their sons were still slaves. They knew that Bilhah and Zilpah had lost their "slave" status when they had married Yaakov. Hashem then punished Yosef, saying that since he suspected the brothers wrongly concerning slavery, he himself will be sold as a slave.
A third example of Yosef's Lashon Hora was his saying that he saw his brothers dealing with Canaanite women. This was a true statement, but the brothers considered their transactions to be permissible, although Yosef did not. Hashem thus told Yosef that if he thinks he is so righteous, he will be tested via Potiphar's wife to see how he reacts to other women.
Although all of Yosef's reports were intended for the ultimate benefit of his brothers, he made the mistake of not investigating any of the matters thoroughly enough and thus accused his brothers of these terrible acts. Even if the brothers had indeed committed the sins of which Yosef accused them, he still acted in the wrong manner. Yosef should have first rebuked his brothers directly before telling his father of their crimes. Therefore, anything Yosef said was Lashon Hora, and Hashem thus punished Yosef for his words. We can learn from this that if one speaks Lashon Hora, whether his words are true or not, Hashem will punish him and we should thus refrain from speaking this way.

I'm not sure who did it first. Our name anyway. It's German. It's spelled 'Freund', properly pronounced 'froind', but our family pronounces it 'frend'. Throughout my youth we were confronted with frequent misspellings and a barrage of jokes. Actually, it was only one. Exactly one. The same one, every time.
One day I drove to the dump in our old rusty Chevy with the old bumper sticker 'I got the crabs at Durty Nelly's' (which I never understood until much older) to drop off the trash. You had to stop in at the office and let them know you were bringing trash. On this particularly brisk, fall day a cute girl I knew from school who never looked my way was working."Freund (friend)," I said sheepishly.
Behind her was a large man in striped overalls leaning hard into a creaky office chair. He had a couple chins that folded into his chest as he leaned back. His lips hung loose like those people who smoke too many cigars and once they get to the nub, it just sort of hangs there from their calloused lower lip. If I remember right, he even had some burn marks on his shirt from when he probably fell asleep smoking.
Anyway, at that instant this comic genius decided to take a moment from ogling the girl at the desk and rasped out, "Huh, hey friend, are you my friend? Wa huh, huh, huh, *hack*cough* heh, heh."
The joke went the same way, every time, without fail. And the witty reply was always the same, "yes."
Beyond that we would have to spell out our name for every phone call or any time we went to the bank. F-R-E-U-N-D, but pronounced 'frend'. I thought that things would change upon moving to Germany.
Obviously I'd have to get used to pronouncing my name correctly, but there would be no more spelling it over the phone. No more confusion with the mail. No more explaining, "Nope, I don't know when they changed the pronunciation." Just smooth sailing.
Granted I like the fact that we pronounce our name this way against all logic of spelling, but I did think it would make things much simpler. But I'd never expected the hospitality I'd encounter here. While most people would read it properly as the German word that it is, any time I went to a bank or had any other verbal interaction and said, "Mein Name ist Freund, wie Freund," they would write down F-R-I-E-N-D.
It seems the obvious – and very considerate – conclusion was always something around, 'Oh, he's American, so he must be just trying to fit in. Even though he says his name is Freund, it must be spelled the English way.'
And so now, four and a half years after moving to Germany, I still find myself having to spell out my last name. Although fortunately, I do not have to deal with the jokers anymore. No one here bats an eye.

Fun with Old Film
This roll of Plenachrome 127 was found in a Brownie Reflex I picked up in Cambridge, MA, last summer. I processed it shortly thereafter, but being able to scan the images meant building a 127 negative tray from black matte board for my CanoScan 8800F–not an impossible feat once I was doing it, but for some reason I felt daunted by the idea before I got started.
Anyway, I was disappointed at the discovery that there were no vintage images on the film, which turned out to be pretty fuzzy/hairy (and I mean that in the literal sense) after processing. There is one image that was there before I fired off the rest of the shots at home, but my suspicion is that it's a fun multiple exposure of my son and me–and the flourescent lights above our heads–as we tested the camera's shutter in the antique store. Oh well. The rest were taken on my front porch at home. All are presented here as originally scanned, with only minor adjustments in levels to three of the four images. For the one of me in the rocking chair, I maxed out the levels to try to pick up more detail, but this obviously blows out any of the natural highlights. Nevertheless, I left it with its Photoshoppy wonkiness in place.

This roll of Kodak Verichrome Pan 120 film came from a Kodak #2 Cartridge Hawkeye found in an antique store in Brattleboro, VT. Only five of the eight images were salvageable in any fashion. Of those found here, only the one of the gentleman in military dress has been altered after its original scan (brightness and contrast maxed out and levels adjusted to recover some sort of image). The others are untouched aside from straight scan.
FYI, the usual copyright restrictions, listed elsewhere in this blog, apply to all of these images.

Have you seen this DIY floating around pinterest? I've had it pinned for awhile, and have been dying to make one. I finally got around to it!
Its incredibly simple. All you need is:
*hair comb (you can get a whole pack of them at the drug store)
*embroidery floss
And voila! All I did was wrap the floss around the teeth in a v shape. And then repeat. Its incredibly simple, and only took about 15 minutes. I loved it so much, I made a second one (in wedding colors, of course).
Come back tomorrow to see it in action.

Periodization, the systematic planning of exercise and athletic training. It is one of the cornerstones of high level sports and physical performance and without it, training has no context and no direction.
This series will cover the big picture as well as dive into the small nuances of what makes periodization such an important topic to learn for any aspiring strength & conditioning coach or high performance trainer.
This third part will discuss cumulative and residual training effects as well as the phases of training (off, pre, in-season).
~1800 words; 8-16 minute read
Read Part 101: Introduction
Read Part 201: Training Variation
Read Part 202: Training Effect & Phases
Read Part 301: Review of Periodization Models
Read Part 401: The Complexities and Problems of Periodization Theory
Training variation recap
As discussed in Part 2 (201), training stimuli can be described to fit a general-to-specific paradigm, where specific qualities are movements, mental states and physical attributes that are seen in the sport or competition the athlete or trainee is preparing for; while general qualities are variations of sport-specific attributes that builds the base to allow specific qualities to flourish in the long-term. Along with this general-to-specific paradigm, some physical attributes and motor skills are thought to be better developed in a sequential manner; either from a general-to-specific or simple-to-complex paradigm. For example, muscle hypertrophy is thought to be better developed prior to maximizing strength and power potential while jump-landing mechanics are better learned before more complex plyometric drills.
The general-to-specific paradigm can be applied to various training and programming variables, from exercise selection, to intensity, volume and frequency. The amount of variation included into a training program differentiates one periodization model from another. Before we take a critical look at each periodization model, we have to understand training effects and the concept of training phases.
Cumulative & residual training effects
If we run long miles, we build incredible endurance. If we resistance train in high volumes, we experience muscle hypertrophy. When we provide a training stressor, we adapt and experience a training effect. But how come we don't experience muscle hypertrophy right after a training session? How come it takes weeks of training in the 1-5 rep range to get strong?
Training effects can be categorized into:
- Immediate and Acute effects (the immediate effects of training are: muscle fatigue, energy depletion, increased blood flow to working muscles, immediate changes on blood pressure and heart rate, etc)
- Chronic and Cumulative effects (increased endurance, muscle hypertrophy, increased strength and power, etc over the long term)
- Residual effects (to what extent training adaptations deteriorate after bouts of detraining or deloading)
For the purpose of this article, we'll be discussing cumulative and residual effects as it pertains to periodization and programming.
The cumulative training effect refers to the changes in "physiological capabilities and level of physical/technical abilities resulting from a long-lasting athletic preparation" (source). Vladimir Issurin, an expert and innovator of Block Periodization, notes that there are functional limits to our body's physiological systems, some of which are more trainable than others. Changes in aerobic characteristics from endurance training such as mitochondrial biogenesis and muscle capillarization are more pronounced compared to anaerobic characteristics such as hydrogen ion buffering.
In contrast, residual training effects refer to how long these adaptations are maintained after an acute withdrawal of training volume load or absolute cessation of training. The table below shows the residual training effects of different physical adaptations:
The degree of detraining is dependent on several factors.
First, the duration of training before cessation. Residual training effects usually follow an analogy made by Vladmimir Zatsiorsky (author of The Science and Practice Of Strength Training) and Dr. William Kraeme: "soon ripe, soon rotten". This suggest that physical attributes that have been developed for a longer time, can be maintained for longer before there is a decrease in performance following a deload or periods of no training. In a similar view, Nick Winkleman and Issurin note that adaptations that result from a structural change, such as cardiac remodelling, muscle capillizaration and muscle hypertrophy last longer after detraining, compared to adaptations that occur on the enzymatic level such as anaerobic performance, hydrogen ion buffering and phosphocreatine storage. A great example of this in the strength training realm and one that many of you can relate to is the fact that many lifters and trainees are able to maintain their muscle mass even with prolonged periods of low volume, high-intensity training. Muscle mass loss is a fear many bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have. But if you've spent some quality time building that muscle and protein intake during periods of deload are high, chances are, it won't waste away as quickly or as easy as you think.
Secondly, the training age and experience of an athlete/trainee also plays a factor in training residuals. Older and more advanced level athletes tend to experience longer residuals because of their higher accumulated training time, in line with the "soon ripe, soon rotten" analogy.
Lastly, the intensity used during retraining or detraining loads plays a role in mediating training residuals as well. The use of moderate to high-intensity training slows down the rate of detraining, however, volume must be controlled in order to avoid disrupting the recovery process. Residual training effects are of extreme importance especially when using non-traditional periodization methods like block periodization or when managing the training loads for sports team athletes during the in-season or competition-period. Residual training effects also give way to the method of tapering, where volume is decreased to reduce fatigue and allow for the expression of fitness (Fitness-Fatigue Model).
An extreme example of this is a study carried out by Pritchard et al. 2017, where resistance trained males completed two 4-week training programs followed by either 3.5 or 5.5 days of training cessation. Following this deload (in the form of no training, NOT lowered volume), peak force in the bench press and mid-thigh pull increased above baseline.
I will cover the concept of tapering and include some practical methods/recommendations in future articles.
Since not all physical abilities can be developed concurrently in a periodized program to the same degree, knowledge on the cumulative and residual effects enables coaches to prioritize certain performance measures, allowing them to make better strategic choices when planning a training program.
Phases of Training
One of the most agreed upon definitions of periodization is the division of training phases and periods within a training macrocycle. However, the names of these phases vary depending ont he sport, characteristics of the periodization model, and the philosophy of the coach.
Mesocycles/phases commonly follow the names: preparatory phase, competition phase and transitional/active-rest phase. The preparatory phase can further be divided into general preparatory phase (GPP) and specific/specialized preparatory phase (SPP).
In GPP, the training variables are more general and varied in nature, stimulating a wide variety of physical attributes while during the SPP, variables and movements are more sport-specific, aiming to further prepare the athlete for competition.
GPP and SPP can be further broken down into extensive and intensive phases, describing the average intensities of that particular phase. An extensive phase will primarily consist of low-intensity, high volume training, using 50-70% of 1RM during resistance training (muscle endurance and hypertrophy) and working in Zones 2-3 in endurance training (aerobic). While an intensive phase will include a larger amount of medium to high-intensity training using training loads above 75-80% of 1RM and high intensity interval training for conditioning.
The preparatory phase is often called the off-season in seasonal, team-based sports like hockey, soccer/futbol, rugby, etc. This off-season or preparatory phase is where the most aggressive and creative periodization strategies occur to induce the most improvements in performance variables before a competition date or competitive season. Any weaknessess identified from previous training cycles or competitive matches is best addressed here, and any strengths should be further improved.
After a preparatory training phase and prior to a competition date or competitive season, the volume load of training starts to decrease. This decrease is meant to achieve 2 things:
- Reduce training fatigue so physical and mental attributes are peaked for the upcoming competition/season
- Make time and room to accomodate the upcoming competition schedule, travelling schedule, media obligations and hone in technical sport-specific skills
This phase is called the transitional-1 stage, or the pre-competition phase or pre-season phase. Because of the length of many sports' in-season (lasting anywhere from 4-7 months depending on playoff eligibility), team-based sports should avoid any aggressive tapering methods heading into the competition season, and a more strategically planned maintanence program should be prescribed. This differs from climatic sports like many sports in the Olympics or combat sports like MMA and boxing where the athletes are preparing for a one-day/one-night competition. In those cases, aggressive tapers are necessary as there is less of need to maintain physical attributes post-competition.
The competition phase, also known as in-season for team-based sports, is dedicated to maintaining specific performance variables such as strength and anaerobic conditioning in order to attenuate any detraining effects an athlete or team may experience. Knowledge of residual effects really plays a big role here. A coach needs to know how many hypertrophy-based, strength-based, power-based and conditioning-based training sessions are needed in order to maintain an acceptable level of fitness when their athletes are busy competing in matches, games and tournaments. A coach must also take into account what physical attributes are already being trained just by competing and playing in games. This may differ from position to position depending on the sport. A goalie in soccer will not utilize the same energy systems as a forward, a post will not have the same energy expenditure as a point guard in basketball. The most time and energy-efficient method of maintaining physical attributes must be performed when athletes have a full competition schedule.
The transitional-2 or active-rest phase of a yearly training plan is dedicated to complete restoration of the team and athletes, both from a physical and mental standpoint. It is common for athletes to engage in physical activity or exercises that do not relate to their respective sports. However, exercises should be low-impact in nature and should not impede or jeopardize the recovery process if high performance is the goal. The main goal of the transitional-2, active-rest period is to withdraw physical and mental stress and pressure that accumulated from hard training and competition, in order to avoid overtraining and mental burnout.
Rinse & Repeat
When the athletes have undergone adequate rest, they are now ready to re-enter the preparatory training cycle or off-season. These phases or seasonal compartmentalization of training occur on the macrocyclic level, with each phase lasting several months (depending on the sport, of course). There are a few exceptions, like in combat sports, where competition dates differ year to year, usually controlled by fighter rankings, and business-driven promoter decisions. In these sports, rigid periodization models often fail in properly preparing the athletes for competition; therefore a more flexible approach to periodization and training programming must be used. In the next article of this series, we'll dive into specific periodization models and their defining characteristics.

MustafaI'm currently attending the Illinois Institute of Technology to earn my master's degree in hardware engineering. I went to the same school as an undergraduate to earn my bachelor's degree in computer engineering, where I focused on computer architecture and control systems. Between my undergraduate and graduate school experiences, I had the opportunity to consult in the computer industry while I tutored computer engineering and statistics courses. Overall, I have tutored students across all levels of ability and ages and in a number of different subjects. I'm skilled at leveraging technology as a resource to help students better understand subjects. My favorite subjects to tutor are calculus and physics, but I also enjoy helping students understand computer science, engineering, chemistry, statistics, and other math courses. I'm currently an assistant researcher, and I use calculus and physics on a daily basis. I love learning, and I believe that knowledge can improve the life of each student that I help. I will do everything I can to help my students succeed in subjects like biology, calculus, computer science, SQL, Java, physics, geometry, algebra, electrical engineering, computer engineering, test preparation, and others. When I have spare time outside of tutoring, I like to visit coffee shops, conduct experiments, and solve sudoku and crossword puzzles. I also enjoy soccer and running.

MichaelMy education has focused on science, as I hold a BA in Biology from Thomas More College and a master's in General Biology from Western Kentucky University. I feel that this education has allowed me to grow a lot as a person, and am interested in tutoring to help other students experience the same. I got my start teaching while working towards my masters, as I taught undergraduate biology and zoology labs for three semesters. While I strongly believe in the value of education, the formal educational environment leaves many students behind. I see tutoring as a golden opportunity to step in where the traditional structure has failed and help students pursue their academic goals. If you need help with Molecular Biology, Life Sciences, Statistics, Algebra II, or preparing for the ACT, I'm the tutor you're looking for!

ChikaHi, my name is Chika. I'm a tutor who has a bachelor's degree in biology from St. Mary's University. I also have an M.D. from International American University. I can help students with subjects like anatomy, biology, and other science coursework. When I'm not working as a tutor, I enjoy traveling, reading, and watching movies. I believe that every student learns differently, which is why I offer customized lesson plans that are based on the needs of the individual I'm currently working with. This type of one-on-one attention just isn't possible in the classroom setting. If you could use some help with a subject I specialize in, reach out to me.

The towels I wove Thor for a Valentine's Day surprise were, of course, cotton. The yarn I used was "Peaches & Cream" (14 oz. cone, 706 yards). This was my first time using it – a yarn spun in Canada from cotton grown in and imported from the U.S. Thor loves the towels, and I was impressed with the look of the waffle weave after washing and drying. Today Thor asked if I would weave a throw out of the same yarn. I called my local yarn store, which didn't carry it, and the owner suggested I try Walmart.
After reading "Nickled & Dimed" and watching a documentary about Walmart's effect on local small business, I have always endeavored to shop only at local stores. However, I have also read lately that Walmart, in an attempt to change this negative reputation has been making attempts over the last few years to try to be more community focused. So I decided to go to Walmart.
Walmart indeed had yarn – the sorts of yarn carried by stores such as Jo-Ann's and Michael's – and about 5 colors of Peaches & Cream on cones and a couple more in skeins (though few cones and/or skeins of each color). We bought several cones.
What did I learn from this experience? Well, it took us a nearly one hour round trip driving to get the yarn. There's a cost to that (mileage, wear and tear on car, time), but ordering the yarn on-line would incur a hefty shipping charge. The price per cone ($7.99) at Walmart was $1 lower than the lowest price we found on-line. I would have gladly paid $1 or $2 more per cone to buy from a local yarn store owned by an individual or cooperative versus the largest retailer in the U.S. (world?). The Walmart clerks were friendly and helpful, but the store was dingy. Thor has worked in retail management and the first thing he learned was that stores have to have good lighting and clean floors. This Walmart failed on both counts – which surprised us both.
Would I buy Peaches & Cream from Walmart again? Given that (1) after a 45 minute search on-line, I found no local retailer that carried Peaches & Cream, and (2) the significant shipping charge I would incur ordering from a yarn store, I might.

Yesterday, I had the gardener help me mix 1 1/2 bales of peat moss into the raised bed. The soil is still too clay like. The peat moss will help change the texture.
Today, 3 gardeners came. We mixed 3 bags of compost into the same raised bed. We also harvested 1 bunch of chard, carnival carrots, chives and arugula. My neighbor still has lots of lemons and limes, so we picked those also. And I shared my last two avocados with the gardeners. I hope I get more avocados next year. They seem to be a real favorite, and there just weren't enough this year.
It sprinkled a little today. I hope it rains more tonight. I must remember to order the things I need from Gardens Alive, no later than tomorrow. (Seeds, Spring Lawn fertilizer, Escargo, what am I forgetting?

She lost a necklace she's loved for 25 years. Then it found its way back to her.
Jean Bliss, 72, wore the same necklace for more than two decades. It was made of three diamonds from a stickpin given to her from her favorite aunt and one from a pendant given to her by her late husband on her 40th birthday.
And then she lost it.
When Bliss, her friend and her grandson had time to kill before a Knight's baseball game, they went to Romare Bearden Park nearby and somehow it fell from her neck and was gone.
The next morning, she went back to the baseball stadium and the park to look for it, knowing it was a long shot but with hope in her heart. She even asked someone sweeping the parking lot if he had seen it. No one knew where her necklace was.
"I just didn't know what to do," Bliss said.
Cheryl Elgin, 50, had been at the same park when she saw something shiny on the ground – a necklace. The Charlotte woman took it to a jeweler to find out if it was genuine. When she was told it was probably custom made, she knew she had to return it.
"It was a beautiful necklace and I knew somebody had to be devastated they lost it," Elgin said.
Bliss left a description of the lost necklace with the Knights office in case it showed up. When Elgin called the office to report the found jewelry, she wasn't sure the descriptions matched. She decided to reach out to Bliss anyways.
After exchanging photos and insurance descriptions, they realized they had a match.
"I was elated and it just consists with my thought that there are a lot of good people in the world," Bliss said.
Elgin said she didn't want recognition. She was just happy to return the jewelry and hear the story behind it.
