The little terrors you teach could represent an income for you if you are hired over the net and could represent the summer school as an agent while you are abroad and recruit students for them.

Most schools seem to be inLondon - obviously - as well as the coastal towns (usually in the south), there are also schools in the 'prettier' cities such as Cambridge, Oxford and Canterbury.

Horror fans sometimes snipe at Bela Lugosi for being in so many terrible poverty row productions in the late thirties and early 1940s, something they believe Boris Karloff would never do. Well, old Boris doesn't do much better when it comes to his four Columbia mad scientist movies, which have slightly higher budgets but are some of the weakest classic-era horror product I've seen. The Devil Commands is weak and sleep-inducing, but it does have a good idea or two, like its linked seance of metal-suited corpses.
The Man with Nine Lives is simply less inspired. It's all about extreme cold, but it starts tepid and goes exactly nowhere. A potentially interesting idea is almost completely thrown away on a script that would be discarded by any self-respecting radio show, and the considerable talents of Karloff come to naught.
The Man with Nine Lives is laughable for a number of reasons, all of them pointing to an incredibly weak script. Mason's cold therapy looks like little more than covering patients with ice cubes and reviving them with hot coffee or tea (clips could be the basis for a modern coffee commercial!). The cold therapy leaves normal tissues unharmed but kills all the nasty Cancer tumors.
Just because Cancer is called by its name (a rarity even in straight medical films of the time) doesn't mean that The Man with Nine Lives approaches simple logic, let alone medical credibility. Mason hacks Kravaal out of an ice block and together they revive the four men that wanted to ruin Kravaal's experiment ten years before. Then the movie becomes a confusing series of reversals wherein Kravaal drugs first the scoffing, retribution-obsessed quartet of provincials, and then the doctor and his nurse. Then the mad doctor forces everyone to do guinea pig duty.
Karloff's character never even begins to make logical sense. Dr. Mason continues to champion the rightness of Kravaal's mission (curing disease) even though the doctor double-crosses everyone in the room. The angry brother of the patient who died ten years before throws Kravaal's only copy of his perfected revival formula into a fire, so Kravaal shoots him. When everybody stares in shock, Kravaal turns with his pistol and says, "You think everything is murder, don't you?" It's an unintentionally hilarious moment reminiscent of a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon: Calvin is caught hammering nails into his mom's coffee table, and looks at her with an utterly unrepentant "Well, what?"
Getting into Kravall's dingy three-room closet, I mean, futuristic lab takes fifteen minutes; I particularly like the scene where nurse Blair goes down 200 steps on a rickety ladder wearing high heels. The story then stays stuck there for the rest of its running time. The Man with Nine Lives may really have started out as a radio show, as people describe everything that happens, as it happens.
Karloff looks uninvolved. Everyone has seen interesting frozen makeup stills of him from this picture but no corresponding scenes emerge. Most of the other players are anonymous and make next to no impact -- the script has a lot of bickering dialogue, none of which impresses. It's just poorly written.
The film can boast a couple of production graces that poverty row would never attempt, however. Nurse Blair spends too much time off screen without dialogue cooking soup and serving coffee, but she does perform a terrific stunt by falling through a splintering floor -- about half a second after Mason looks at the woodwork and mutters, "Hm ... dry rot!" Down in the sub-sub basement mad lab, a steel door leads to a frozen room that is indeed just that -- either it was shot in an ice house as Capra did Lost Horizon or Columbia bought their own freezing unit and brought it to the sound stages. The photography doesn't exploit the icy room as well as it might, but the sight of Mason chopping through real ice is a lot more realistic than the phony ice caves in things like
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.
Columbia's DVD of The Man with Nine Lives looks beautiful and is practically flawless right up until the final reel, which suddenly jumps several generations to a dupe of far less quality. Apparently that last reel didn't survive some lab mishap or was simply misplaced. A torch lady logo is at the end but the film has a static reissue replacement card for a main title; perhaps the outside sub-distributor Columbia lost the last reel. It's okay, as by that time we're no longer expecting a socko ending.
On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor,
The Man with Nine Lives rates:
Movie: Fair
Video: Excellent 4/5ths of the way
Sound: Excellent
Supplements: none
Packaging: Keep case

Singur shenanigans
Opinions on Singur vary - there are those who are violently opposed to the Tata project on the grounds that small, ignorant farmers with no voice were not given fair compensation. True or false?? Depends which side you are batting for.The example being trotted out is Jindal's and Anil Aggarwal's. They came, they saw, they asked the going rate for the land they wished to acquire, and they paid up. No haggling, no questions asked. Farmers happy, Industrialists happy. What if the Tatas do pull out and the Nano is delivered late? Loss of face and more trouble ahead.Meanwhile, Mamata can screech away and summon journos with a loud and rude, "Hey you BBC... come here." One lone politician.... and see the trouble being caused. Maan gaye, Mamataji... if you could annoy Ratan Tata into uncharacteristically letting his irritation be known, you must be one huge thorn in his side!
About Ajay Devgan... come on, chaps. He is a good actor in certain roles that suit his personality and body type. 'Omkara' was a terrific film. But Saif Ali outshone Ajay as Langda in it. And the more recent one in which Ajay plays a reigning superstar?? Does he LOOK like a star.... forget superstar?? It stretched audience credibility to the absolute limit. The scenes that established the character were better suited to a David Beckham. Kahan woh.... kahan apun ka Ajju???

well ajay devgan.. hnnmm i feel he has got this look of i cant be bothered.. if things happen for me.. well good enough.. if not too bad.. i think thats why his role in hum dil de chuke sanam was nice.. because he just left it in the hands of fate..
6000bucks for a meal.. hnnmm did they add a bit of the gold dust.. i do hope it was worth it.. because sometimes i feel.. its all about the style or the setting or the service.. and not exactly the food that has got the price..
mamataji well well.. i think she just wants to get back into the limelight.. and what better way than to like you said.. hold the tata empire to ransom..
will surely keep coming back for more.. :)

I know more about men than about Tata Nanos. Hence, I'll proceed to that part of the post directly.
Does Morgan Freeman look like a superstar? Or Johnny Depp?
I mean, I like Morgan Freeman a lot for his acting and for his charm - but not his looks. At the same time, I don't think that he looks bad either.
The same way, I think that Ajay has that kind of a character.

many of my buddy log are bhadralok. besides, I was born in calcutta too. So have fondness for the place. I have never visited calcutta after my birth, but I have heard from my mom that its a ekdam slow and thanda life there.
I dislike Mamta, but appreciate her ability to garner support in practically everything she does.
"...What she is fighting for is completely Kosher." I dont know completely about it. So will reserve my comments on that. Though knowing mamta, its easy to deduce that this might be some newfangled politically-driven malicious propaganda.
Wao De. Sahi Hai... I so so agree with Kush .... "(...)every second Bong you meet is a closet revolutionary", so simply said with such deep meaning. This line, You SHOULD use in one of your columns, before someone else chori's it. jaldi Jaldi.
>> Apna Ajju...
yes, Ajju is good.In certain roles but when he tries his hand (and face) at comedy, its most appalling. I liked him as a director in "U, Me aur Hum". But he was not a class apart... As Aamir Khan is. And definitely (the otherwise very articulate and anglicized) Saif, did a far better job as Langda Tyaagi. Lets face it, kajol's better half's performance is predictable and is getting sterotypical (if not as stereo typical as her best {commercial} half- ShahRukh)

Eye movements and the search for biomarkers for schizophrenia
(Medical Xpress)—There is a long history of research on impaired eye movements associated with schizophrenia. Using a series of simple viewing tests, researchers of a new paper in Biological Psychiatry explored the ability of these eye movement tests to distinguish people with and without the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Using their complete dataset, they were able to develop a model that could discriminate all schizophrenia cases from healthy control subjects with an impressive 98.3% accuracy.
Drs. Philip Benson and David St. Clair, lead authors on the paper, agreed that their findings were remarkable: "It has been known for over a hundred years that individuals with psychotic illnesses have a variety of eye movement abnormalities, but until our study, using a novel battery of tests, no one thought the abnormalities were sensitive enough to be used as potential clinical diagnostic biomarkers."
Their battery of tests included smooth pursuit, free-viewing, and gaze fixation tasks. In smooth pursuit, people with schizophrenia have well-documented deficits in the ability to track slow-moving objects smoothly with their eyes. Their eye movements tend to fall behind the moving object and then catch-up with the moving object using a rapid eye movement, called a saccade.. A picture is displayed in the free-viewing test, and where most individuals follow a typical pattern with their gaze as they scan the picture, those with schizophrenia follow an abnormal pattern. In a fixation task, the instruction is to keep a steady gaze on a single unmoving target, which tends to be difficult for individuals with schizophrenia.
As expected, the researchers found that the performance of individuals with schizophrenia was abnormal compared to the healthy volunteer group on each of the eye tests. At right is an example of the differences, with the eye tracking of a schizophrenia case in red and a healthy control in blue.
The researchers then used several methods to model the data. The accuracy of each of the created algorithms was then tested by using eye test data from another group of cases and controls. Combining all the data, one of the models achieved 98.3% accuracy.
"It is encouraging to see the high sensitivity of this model for the diagnosis of schizophrenia. It will be interesting to see the extent to which this approach enables clinical investigators to distinguish people with schizophrenia from individuals with other psychiatric disorders," commented Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry.
Benson and St Clair have already started that work, stating, "We now have exciting unpublished data showing that patterns of eye movement abnormalities are specific to different psychiatric subgroups, another key requirement for diagnostic biomarkers. The next thing we want to know is when the abnormalities are first detectable and can they be used as disease markers for early intervention studies in major mental illness?"
"We are also keen to explore how best our findings can be developed for use in routine clinical practice," they added. Typical neuropsychological assessments are time-consuming, expensive, and require highly trained individuals to administer. In comparison, these eye tests are simple, cheap, and take only minutes to conduct. This means that a predictive model with such precision could potentially be incorporated in clinics and hospitals to aid physicians by augmenting traditional symptom-based diagnostic criteria.

Im looking for a new scope for my hunting rifle, I recently read an article on the new redfield revenge range finding scope and was wondering if anyone on here had used one, and if so how well the range finding part worked? My rifle is a 30-06, and im hunting on a powerline so I could easily be looking at shots up to 500 yards, and it would b easier if i didnt have to have a separate rangefinder.

I know know anything about the scope you asked about, but I've found Redfields to be good quality scopes.
I also wouldn't try to discourage anyone from having range finding abilities in a scope and learning how to use them.
Having said that, I'm a fan of hand held range finders. Mine is 8X and I use them instead of binoculars when glassing and ranging, its safer then using a rifle scope while hunting, you don't know who else is hunting down that power line.

I understand where you're coming from. Where i hunt is a posted hunting club, and we all know where the others are so safety shouldn't b a factor.

I'd rather have a hand-held rangefinder and a regular scope (and binocs). When I go to a stand, I'll range to certain spots (corners, trees, fenceposts, etc.) and then put the rangefinder away. Then I'll do my looking with binocs. I don't like glassing with the rifle, and I absolutely hate it when others point their rifles at me. Last season there was a guy down the powerline right of way about 400 yards, in a newly situated stand. He got up there, while I was watching him with binocs, and he pointed that rifle and scope right at me - probably to see if I was in the stand. Well, I was...and he knew right away that I was watching him point his rifle at me. He put the rifle down.

The Redfield Revolution is a decent entry level scope, and about as cheap as I could recommend. I'd use one, actually own 2, but there are better scopes for just a little bit more. The Revenge is somewhat unknown, but I'd rather not be the one field testing it. Just looking at the listed specs. online I'd have to pay the small differece for the Revolution.

I keep a pair of binoculars with me so the scope will only be used to range and target game. I've looked at the revolution but I am interested in the rangefinding capabilities of the revenge.

Please click below download PDFs with Powerball® instructions:
Cord Activated Powerball Autostart
We currently offer 6 individual Powerball® models on the site. Each generates smooth, progressive, 100% non-impact resistance and are suitable for building
strength in the fingers, hands, wrists, arms and shoulders - with the exception of the 450 Diablo™ lightweight model which is recommended for rehabilitation or high speed spinning purposes only.
However, for specific strength training purposes, the 350 Diablo™ model sits head and shoulders above all the other models in the range in that it generates significantly more resistance as a result of its heavier, solid zinc rotor engine and chromed stainless steel shell. 350 Diablo™ develops 18.6kg (41.45lbs) of inertial resistance/force at 10,000rpm as compared to 11.3kg developed by the polycarbonate based 280™ models.
Additionally, and despite its considerably higher power output, Diablo's shell circumference is approximately 10% smaller in size when compared to the 280™ models, allowing it to fit better into the hand, resulting in a firmer grip and consequently a higher spin speed overall, which in turn helps develop even more muscular strength.
The most powerful model in the current range is the 350 Diablo Pro™. With a solid zinc rotor encased in a chrome finished stainless steel shell, 350 Diablo™ is capable of generating almost 30kg (60lbs+) of inertial resistance and will develop 18.6kg (41lbs+) at just 10,000rpm. Despite it's immense power, 350 Diablo™ is also approximately 10% smaller than the other models, allowing it to fit really tightly into the hand for maximum grip-a-bility.
Powerball® is a tuned, precision strengthening and rehabilitation instrument which has been hand assembled using premium quality materials
and features an internal rotor on a hardened stainless steel axle which has been so finely and precisely balanced using advanced computerised technology that it can
reach speeds in excess of 18,000rpm without vibration of any description.
Because of the success we've achieved around the globe with the Powerball® product range, we've attracted a large variety of imitation gyro products, most of which originate from China. Many of these bear a confusing resemblance to the genuine products sold on this website but fall far short in terms of build; quality of materials used; performance; reliability and overall product safety resulting in;
It is recommended that Powerball® should not be used by those under the age of 12 years without adult supervision (more as a general precaution
rather than an actual insistence) to highlight the simple fact that these products can generate significant resistance (gyroscopic inertia), most of which is applied
directly to the wrist/arm. In younger persons, active bone development is still in progress and may be adversely affected by such potential forces, leading to possible
damage in the arm or wrist as a result.
(Powerball® produces localised resistance in a completely different way to conventional free weight - isotonic exercise workouts).
However, and given that Powerball® will only generate such resistance which is directly proportional at all times to the efforts expended by the user, it is highly unlikely that any young individual will ever cause himself/herself harm through the use of this product - nonetheless it remains prudent that caution be observed and that our younger users be fully aware of the potential for overuse that may arise as a result of the high power outputs of these highly addictive products.
Used in moderation, Powerball® will be an extremely beneficial tool for a budding young sportsperson (or aspiring musician... or fitness enthusiast... or martial arts devotee... or gymnast... or....) and will not cause any harm; indeed, we receive many gracious testimonials each week from parents who are simply delighted with the effect that the shiny sphere has had on their particular offsprings sporting achievements. The rules are therefore simple;
Our new Autostart™ range is the very pinnacle of Powerball® engineering, requiring no cords and offering instant, fuss free starts every time. While simple to operate, we nonetheless recommend you spend 60 seconds watching our recommended starting guideline video below. Additionally, please download this PDF guide which gives detailed information on how to activate Powerball® Autostart™ and also highlights the correct technique necessary to develop good, progressive spin speed.

In 99.9% of cases, a 'non-starting' Powerball® will be as a result of a poor starting technique as opposed to an actual product fault.
Please see the Getting Started section and watch the appropriate video showing the correct starting technique
for your own specific Powerball® model (cord or auto-start).
Additionally, you may find the information and tips offered in this downloadable PDF will enhance your cord-activated Powerball experience further while this PDF is relevant for all Powerball® Autostart™ models, thank you.
Powerball® is fast...(very fast)...and in this case speed really does equal force - the faster the rotor engine spins inside the shell sphere, the
more gyroscopic inertial resistance it's generating - force that's being levied directly upon the arms and wrists in particular.
As one of the very best upper limb strengthening and rehabilitation devices available in the world today, Powerball® will be equally at home with someone nursing an arm or wrist injury as it will in the hand of someone trying to build large, powerful forearms and grip strength - yet both users will have very different requirements and both will therefore need to be spinning at very different speeds.
The general rule is:
Like the question 'how fast should I spin' above, the answer to this relates directly to the physical condition of the user and whether they are using
Powerball® to build strength or to rehabilitate an injured limb. With Powerball®, faster spin speeds generate higher inertial resistance from the sphere and require more
strength and muscle endurance to maintain control.
Powerball® is an isometric exercise device and the resistance generated is 'always on' while the rotor is spinning - there is no let up. It has been scientifically proven that isometric exercise engages a higher percentage of muscle fibers than regular isotonic (weight) training and produces measurable results within a far shorter time frame.
As a result, someone with a case of wrist tendonitis could sit and gently spin Powerball® at a speed of 5000rpm for the entire 45 minute duration of their favourite TV show, bringing soothing relief through enhanced blood flow in the inflamed tendon tissue, while a seasoned gym warrior who had never experienced Powerball before would likely struggle to maintain a speed of 11,000rpm for a mere 30 seconds while their forearm flexor and extensor muscles burned like never before - your ideal Powerball® speed & spin duration is a totally personal affair that will depend on age; physical condition; muscle endurance ability; whether the limb is injured or 100% healthy and strong; whether it's suffering from fatigue as a result of over-training and you'll learn this over a period of 5-6 days of using the ball while your muscles acclimatise to what is a unique, efficient and highly effective training solution.
Enormous forces are built up inside the sphere at high speed and the ball is always fighting hard to oppose your efforts to spin that inner rotor - therefore
it is always recommended that you maintain a firm, tight grip on your Powerball® during use to ensure you maintain full control.
Doing so also ensures minimum wear on the internal mechanism and ensures a long, maintenance free product life - in fact, treat it properly while you spin and your Powerball® will still be spinning smoothly and going strong 15 years from now. As will your wrists and arms. (In fact, we often receive correspondence from customers who have purchased Powerballs® from us as far back as 2001/2002; a testimony to just how useful you are going to find this unique product).
Once the rotor is spinning at a sufficient pace, it comes under the effect of what's known as gyroscopic precession where it effectively becomes suspended
inside the sphere, allowing it switch between clockwise and anticlockwise rotation with just a flick of your wrist.
Does this cause damage to the internal mechanism? Well, if the transition is made smoothly, at a moderate speed and by someone using proper spin technique then no... but, like trying to change gears in your car without pushing the clutch down properly, some small wear will likely occur over time if you attempt to change direction at too high a spin speed and too often so always try to perform nice, fluid clockwise - anticlockwise transitions as you spin and everything will be just fine.
Most people will have a dominant hand and this, by nature, usually tends to be the one which most often suffers from those repetitive strain
injuries that Powerball® loves to rehabilitate.
As a result, you might actually find yourself exercising / rehabilitating with Powerball® in your dominant hand almost to the exclusion of the other limb as you try to moderate a tennis elbow or wrist tendonitis issue and this is something we'd encourage you to try and avoid if possible; prevention is always better than cure and even if it's only 'a 1 minute spin in the left hand versus 5 minutes in the right' try to make sure you always include at least a quick session in the non-dominant hand each time you spin to ensure a good balance in both strength and co-ordination across both.
Building progressive speed on your Powerball® demands proper technique to ensure that your wrist rotation is correctly matched and synched to the spinning rotor at all times.
While learning the correct technique at the very beginning, some users will either attempt to rotate their wrists too quickly or, make the circumference of their turning circles too small; this results in them running out of sync with the spinning rotor and causes it to 'slap' or clack noisily in the shell every few seconds - synchronising your wrist rotation speed so that it fully aligns with the rotor speed will solve this immediately and see your Powerball® spin quickly soar to 10,000rpm+.
From experience, you will see that a good, sharp pull on the starting cord or winding the rotor back 2-3 turns on your Powerball® Autostart™ and releasing will activate the rotor to approximately 2500/3000rpm - this is the ideal Powerball® starting speed.
From that point, you'll need to begin 'agitating' the rotor by turning your wrist at a slow, steady pace so that it manages to sync perfectly with the spinning rotor inside the shell sphere, which in turn helps to both sustain and build its speed.
This is actually easier to do than it sounds and is just like riding a bicycle; once you've 'got it' that first time, and felt the perfect resistance from Powerball®, you'll 'get it' every time thereafter and won't need to think about it anymore, it'll all happen naturally.
If you're a beginner with Powerball®, we always recommend starting off with wide, lazy wrist turns, such as if you were stirring a pot, whisking eggs or swirling ice cubes in a glass - each turn about 5/6" in diameter and between 1 to 2 turns each second, no faster.
It is all about feel - you will immediately know that you are at the correct speed as you will begin to feel a resistance to your wrist rotation efforts (when you are out of sync, there will be no resistance, the rotor may 'slap' around noisily inside the sphere and it will feel as if you are simply turning your hand around the wrist joint - when in sync however, there will be a pleasant, soothing opposition to your efforts and Powerball® will suddenly feel much heavier in your hand as it fights against your efforts to build that rotor speed).
Once you feel this resistance (otherwise known as gyroscopic Inertia), slowly begin to increase the speed of your wrist rotations.
NOTE: it is important that ONLY the wrist rotates - your arm must remain steady, fixed and in the one position (unless you are specifically following one of our recommended exercise video programs where some arm movement is required) - doing so will serve to increase the actual speed at which the rotor is spinning which, in turn, will increase the resistance being inflicted on your hand/wrist/arm.
Once again, if you are trying to turn your wrist too fast while at these initial starting speeds or, if your turning circles are too small at the beginning, you will hear (and feel) the rotor slapping noisily inside the sphere - again, if this happens, simply slow the speed of your turns or increase the circumference of each turn; this will immediately help to bring you back in sync with the spinning rotor and the speed will build proportionally once again.
For further reference, please watch this video for a cord-activated Powerball® (PDF) or this video for Powerball® Autostart™ (PDF)
The latest range of Powerball® models are smoothest, fastest gyros we've ever produced and have been manufactured from premium materials
to ensure high performance and ongoing benefit for the fingers, hands, wrists and arms.
While your Powerball® has been designed to be maintenance free, you'll find that opening it from time to time and giving the surfaces of the internal components a quick wipe down with a clean, dry cloth will be beneficial to its overall performance and keep it running smoothly and quietly.
Details on how to open your Powerball® can be found as follows:
Opening 280Hz model range (280 Pro, Autostart Classic, Pro, Fusion Pro) • Opening Diablo model range (350Hz & 450Hz)
The cord will sometimes become stuck fast around the rotor axle if a) it is either not wrapped tightly around the rotor surface before being pulled or b)
it is not pulled STRAIGHT OUT from the ball during the starting procedure (note: pulling at an angle during the starting process may increase the possibility
of the cord getting caught inside the mechanism).
You can learn the correct technique for starting your cord-activated Powerball® by watching this video:
Should the cord have gotten stuck in the mechanism however, then please follow this simple procedure to release it again;
All counters in the current Powerball® product range receive their power by induction directly from the spinning rotor - so it's "human power" all the way and no batteries required!
Your Powerball® is a high precision instrument which operates around the perfect frictional relationship between the rotor support band
(a special plastic ring which supports the rotor) and the circular platform inside the shell on which that rotor support band sits. The materials used on the support
band and shell have been specially chosen to ensure a perfect frictional harmony which converts your wrist action into pure rotor speed.
One drop of oil however... just one, single, tiny drop... placed anywhere - either on the internal shell platform or on the support band - will be sufficient to completely destroy that perfect frictional harmony and ensure that the rotor flops around lifelessly inside the shell, unable to respond to even the most perfectly synched wrist turn. Your Powerball® will be well and truly...dead!
The solution:
Starting Cord replacement packs are available for purchase in our online store here.
While you are waiting for your new cords however, please note the following details which should have you spinning again in minutes:
Powerball® is capable of developing significant force and inertial resistance as it spins and demands considerable grip strength to keep it firmly
seated in the hand at higher speeds. To help facilitate this, each Powerball® is fitted with a special, highly tactile silicone grip band which stretches
fully around the shell circumference and makes it easier to hold during the spin.
However, when used over an extended period of time, sweat and oils from your hand may sometimes permeate the band and cause it to lose its tactile grip over the shell surface, resulting in it becoming slightly loose and moving up/down from the circumference of your Powerball® as you spin, particularly at higher speeds.
If this does occur on your Powerball® then the simple solution is to remove the band and put it into the washing machine with the next wash or into a basin of moderately hot water with some washing up liquid - this will shrink the band fractionally and ensure that the sweat/oils are removed, allowing it to assume the sticky/tactile characteristic it had when new.
(Remember, if there are oils on the grip band, there will also be oil on the shell surface too, so please ensure you use this opportunity to also give the shell surface a quick clean with a baby wipe (or similar) and dry immediately with a paper towel).
280 Pro models
We currently offer 6 individual Powerball® models on the site. Each generates smooth, progressive, 100% non-impact resistance and all are suitable
for rehabilitation of any finger/hand/wrist/arm/shoulder based injury that you may be experiencing.
However, please be aware that the 350 Diablo™ model listed on the site is manufactured with a stainless steel shell and heavy, solid zinc rotor engine capable of generating considerably more power than the other models in the range while spinning at similar speeds. As such therefore, while it can still be used at lower speeds to help rehabilitate any upper limb related issues, it tends to be more suited to those customers seeking muscle building/strengthening as a result of the higher inertial resistance that it can generate.
For rehabilitation purposes therefore, we would specifically recommend any of the three Powerball® Autostart™ models listed on the site. Autostart means simple, fuss free starts every time; you simply wind back the rotor 2-3 turns and release to spin - no starting cords required. This model range can be operated with a single hand, which is a significant advantage to anyone suffering from limited mobility in their arm. All Powerball& Autostart™ models are also fully drop resistant - a feature that our customers suffering from weak grip certainly find useful.
By means of quick reference, each of the 4 polycarbonate 280™ models generate approximately 11kg of resistance at 10,000rpm while 350 Diablo™ produces 18.6kg at 10,000rpm, despite weighing less than 1kg when static.
There is a substantial difference in characteristic between the repetitive movement in the upper limb that leads to RSI based conditions
and the repetitive movement required to spin Powerball®.
Typically, RSI conditions in the upper limbs are brought on either by;
a) Thousands of repetitive, fine, low impact limb movements, carried out for multiple hours per day, several days each week. For example; typing, operating a computer mouse, video gaming, writing, knitting, gardening, assembly line working, etc.
b) Repeating identical high impact tasks multiple times each day (over-use) combined with excessive force applied from awkward position and/or with poor limb posture. For example; mechanics using wrenches, driving for hours each day with wrists bent in un-natural angles, meat boners, machine operators, etc
One of the defining factors in most of the above tasks is that the body on the whole tends to remain sedentary - often for hours at a time - during these activities. That is; the limb may be moving continuously on a local level during the course of the day while carrying out the particular activity, but the body itself tends to remain seated and relatively immobile, with limited heart activity combined to limited overall limb movement.
This in turn leads to sluggish or slower blood flow throughout the body; blood brings oxygen and collagen enriching nutrients to your muscles, ligaments and tendons, both of which help to keep the tissue supple and flexible and enable the limb to function efficiently as you go about your daily tasks.
Reduce that vital, lubricating blood flow while performing those repetitive or strenuous daily tasks therefore and all manner of things begin to happen under the skin;
The forearm muscles (flexor, extensor) literally begin to dry up (lose their suppleness and natural ability to stretch); microscopic tearing begins to appear on the muscle tissue surface, ultimately causing knots; the muscles themselves begin to shorten in length (injured muscle tissue tends to contract) putting pressure on the tendons connecting them to the bone at the elbow and wrist joints. And synovial fluid - the slippery liquid which lubricates the joints and inner walls of the sheaths surrounding the tendons all o ver the body - that remains in a highly viscous state (thick like the oil in your car when you start it on a cold winter morning) and makes it difficult for the tendons inside to slide and glide freely, causing excess friction.
The sum total of which results in growing inflammation, eventual muscle pain and overall reduced range of joint motion (RSI).
Using Powerball®, on the other hand, has the exact opposite effect;
The smooth, progressive, 100% non-impact resistance produced by a spinning Powerball® is directed across the entire muscle range of the upper limb, from finger to shoulder. Unlike the tasks listed above, all of which actually contribute to RSI based conditions, using Powerball® is a form of isometric exercise and, as with any form of exercise, blood flow through the tissue is changed dramatically, flowing at anything up to 15 times more than it might otherwise do through resting muscles (when resting, only 20-25% of the capillaries are open, but during exercise, 100% of the muscle capillaries are open).
And this is all good news for the upper limbs and, in particular, the tendons connecting the muscles to the elbow and wrist joints. Tendons are made primarily of collagen and nothing helps repair and rehabilitate damaged or inflamed collagen tissue more than nutrient and oxygen rich blood. A healthy muscle tends to stretch and lengthen easily by its very nature and will do so freely once the tissue is filled with warm, viscous blood. And longer, supple muscles in turn help to put less pressure on the tendons which anchor them to the joints, ensuring that the whole limb is more accommodating to those repetitive movements that are so prevalent in our lives today, both in work and during leisure time.
Blood flow is stimulated, synovial fluid production increases, tissue becomes oxygenated, muscles become supple and stretch more easily, inflammation in the tendons reduces, range of motion in the joint increases... and all of this can happen with just one 3 minute spin.
NOTE: While 100% non-impact in nature, Powerball® is nonetheless capable of generating substantial resistance/force if used at high speeds, all of which can overload and further stress injured/recovering muscle tissue. Therefore, for the purposes of any recovery/rehabilitation, we ALWAYS recommend long, slow to moderate spins (3-15 minutes in duration at no more than 6000rpm) as opposed to short, fast spins (less than 1 minute at 8,000 - 10,000rpm and above). Doing so will produce rhythmic, gentle resistance from your Powerball with all of the rehabilitative benefits listed above and ensure prompt recovery of the damaged tissue.
Yes, it's one of the world's most effective rehabilitation devices for the hands, wrists and arms beloved of physios around the world. Yes,
it's a device which will build extraordinary strength in the forearm flexor and extensor muscles. But what you probably won't realise until you
actually feel a live Powerball® spinning in your hand for the first time is just how absolutely addictive it is to use as that exercise / rehabilitation
device and how everyone you hand it to for a quick spin will want one too. Rehabilitating a tennis elbow condition or broken wrist isn't meant to be fun
but this comes as close as it gets to actually making therapy enjoyable.

A few days ago I was going to submit this lesson on "how to draw a tortoise for kids", but I somehow forgot to do so. I sometimes will forget to submit a lesson that was supposed to go up. I will often get side tracked and forget all about it. Anyways this tortoise also has a bad attitude or is in a rotten mood. I decided that this tortoise is going to be older because as you know the bigger the tortoise, the older the animal is. You will be drawing this grumpy old man from the side so it should be pretty simple for you to recreate. Some people love tortoises, and then there are some that are just turtle lovers. I myself have no preference because I have never been an admirer of any turtle species. I'm more of a snake and bird person. If I had my way I would probably have a few snakes and a few birds. I wouldn't overdo it, but I would definitely have some nice animals. Anyways, have fun drawing a tortoise for kids, and I will get busy with thinking of more drawing fun. I shall be back tomorrow so be sure to come back once again. Adios people and like always enjoy your fun filled artistic day!

Here is a simple secondary character from the new Nickelodeon series Robot and Monster. He is a hunk of metal and he is also the pet to Monster. Here is "how to draw Marf", step by step. This block of metal is supposed to be like a pet dog. He barks and keeps Monster occupied when he is alone or in need of a friend. He is obviously really easy to draw, which means you should bang out this lesson on drawing Marf in no time at all. I really don't know what else I can say because this is just a pet to the main character of the animated cartoon series. I guess all I can do is say adios and enjoy!

One of the best parts about sci-fi movies that take place in the future — aside from seeing what sort of shiny jumpsuit fashions we need to be buying — is seeing all the visions of what cars will be like in the future. And there's been some good ones. So which ones are the best?
There's lots of standouts — Sid Meade's flying and still oddly smoky cars from Blade Runner, the thinly-veiled Audi commercial from I, Robot, the distopian jet-Messerschmit from Brazil, Gattaca's hip electro-modded resto cars, but I think the inflated-flying-retro rides from The Fifth Element might be my personal pick.
Look at that cab; it looks like Bugatti hit money troubles in the 2070s and got bought out by Suri Cruise's latest venture, New Checker Taxi Company, LLC. Lots of good stuff there.
So, what's your pick? Dig deep, now!

The Challenges of Basement Insulation
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2006
A study explored how effective interior insulation systems are at keeping basements dry as well as warm.
In 2001,Cambridge Homes—a division of D.R.Horton in the Chicago area—completed the initial phase of its first Energy Star development. One of the builder's major improvements of these homes was the insulation of the basement walls.While the homes met the Energy Star goals, problems arose during the first summer the homes were occupied. During a hot, humid period in August, several homeowners reported wet, dripping fiberglass insulation at the foot of their basement walls.Where this moisture came from (humid basement air condensing on the cold wall, drying concrete, groundwater or rain, or some combination of these factors) was unclear,but it certainly needed a remedy. One homeowner was so concerned that she called the EPA to report the problem. The builder knew that to reach Energy Star levels for homes, basement insulation was key. The insulation system that Cambridge employed was polymer-faced, R-11 fiberglass blankets draped inside the entire basement wall. The builder's immediate solution to the moisture problems was to trim all of the fiberglass blankets 6–12 inches above the floor—eliminating the place where ...

Let's get started and I'll show you what I mean.
*Hot glue gun
First, you need to cut a strip of fabric. It doesn't need to be perfectly straight, in fact I think it works out better when it's not straight. POST EDIT The fabric strip size is about 58 inches by 3 1/2-4 inches. (If you just take a piece of fabric straight from the bolt, it is folded in half. The length of the fabric once it is un-folded is the 58 inches.)
Once it's sewed, you are going to cut scallops. These don't need to be perfect either. It is nice to get varying sizes and curve shapes to add to the texture of the flower.
This next part is the most fun. You take your lighter and seal off all the edges of the scallops. If you just run the flame along the edges, it will seal it and make the scallop curl a little giving it a more "petal like" look.
Once your edges are all sealed, you will need to gather the fabric. You do this by pulling the fabric along one of your threads moving the gathering along the fabric as you go. When it looks the way you would like it to look, just make sure all of your gathering is consistent along the entire strip.
I started wrapping my gathered strip in a circle so that it began to form the flower. Once the flower was formed, that is when I secured it. I tried doing both the hot glue way and hand sewing it. Both ways turn out nice, so you can't go wrong. All you do is, after your flower is formed, hot glue the bottom to a piece of felt. I put the clip on the flower at the same time and it seemed to work well.

If a trader, presenting a big pension fund or other large institution, wants to sell a large number of a particular stock, but doesn't want to raise a red flag among other traders and disturb the market, he or she may chose to make the trade anonymously.
'Dark Pools,' or private trading venues frequently used by large financial institutions, have become an increasingly powerful force in today's global economy and financial markets.
The private trading venues, are often criticized for a lack of transparency and have become a major threat to the business interests of public exchanges as more and more transactions are taking place in these dark pools.
Lit Markets, like the NYSE Euronext, have recently stepped up their efforts to regulate dark pools. To learn more about how Lit Markets and Dark Pools function, watch the explainer below:

The second reading today, from the Letter to the Romans, tells us that "if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's." And it is our Lord who tells us to forgive. If we want to follow Jesus, then we become people who forgive others, no matter what offense they do to us. Jesus is clear that to follow Him, we will suffer, so we must take up our cross daily and follow Him.
The Gospel from Matthew today is very strong. Jesus is so clear in His teaching to us: forgive everything from your heart! We are not allowed to hold on to anything against anybody. Rather, as Jesus teaches, we must go even further and help those who harm us and give to those who rob us. To follow Jesus is not easy and asks us to give ourselves completely to Him and to following Him. Christianity will never be a life of comfort, even though we may have comforts from time to time.
We can also ask ourselves today how we relate to those around us? Are we people who forgive others? Are we people who really seek to love and serve others? Do we seek to see Christ in others? Do we look for God's will in our lives and in the lives others?
Jesus always pulls our attention back to God and to the way God wants us to live. Always we are invited to see God in every situation and not ignore the divine presence. It is too easy for us to lose sight of God and to pay attention only to our human desires.
At the heart of the teachings of Jesus, at the heart of His own life, is this deep awareness of God's presence in all creation and in all peoples. Even in the agony of Jesus and in the Cross, Jesus keeps His heart with love for others.
Today, we are invited to forgive and to follow Jesus once more in a way that gives witness to the glory of God. Let us walk the way of the Lord.

12 months, 12 amazing adventures
By Marnie Hunter and Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 28th August 2014
View Gallery
12 Pictures
The first couple weeks of each new year start with grandiose visions.
This year, you will exercise like a maniac, eat well, start a rewarding relationship, advance your career and take amazing and exotic vacations. Now that we're halfway through January, some of that get-up-and-go has dissipated a wee bit, no?
Don't abandon your entire ambitious agenda. At the very least, enrich yourself with a travel adventure. Hopefully, good fortune has shined upon your bank account in the form of a holiday bonus or an upcoming tax refund.
Here are 12 ideas to get you started:
January: Scenic
Yes, January is slipping away fast, so this first option is an easy one for anyone who lives within striking distance of a heap of snow. Snowshoeing is pretty straightforward; it's bundled up hiking with special shoes. In some cases, it's also free. At Oregon's spectacular Crater Lake National Park, rangers lead
free snowshoeing hikes
(shoes included) each Saturday and Sunday (there's also one on MLK Jr. Day). Conservation organization Oregon Wild and outdoor clubs in snowy states like Vermont also arrange snowshoeing expeditions. You can rent shoes from outdoor outfitters for $10 to $20 per day.
Plus, there's a romance factor.
Oregon Wild
wilderness coordinator Erik Fernandez proposed marriage on a full-moon snowshoeing outing. "If you're looking for a romantic date, taking somebody on a full-moon snowshoe trip is going to score you some serious points," he said. Rewarding relationship, wintry adventure -- check, check.
Blood falls and other natural oddities
February: Skiing
inn-to-inn in Norway
Renew your fitness vows by cross-country skiing along the well-groomed Peer Gynt Trail in Gudbrandsdalen in south-central Norway. A seven-day self-guided trip organized by
Norske Bygdeopplevelser
has skiiers covering up to 16 miles a day. Your luggage is transferred from inn to inn as you ski alongside inspiring views of the Jotunheimen and Rondane mountains and Lake Gala. See? Outdoor exercise is a lovely pursuit. $1,550 per person for double occupancy, including lodging, train transfers to and from Oslo, luggage transport and most meals. Ski equipment is not included.
Inside the beluga of the skies
March: Big game fishing in Panam
Panama's got world-class fishing, plus bragging rights if you hook something huge.
Panama Big Game Fishing Club
on Isla Boca Brava off the Pacific Coast offers four to seven-night fishing packages, starting at about $3,000 per person for four nights, including lodging, airport transfers and domestic flights, fishing expeditions and all meals and drinks. The waters near the lodge are home to a large population of billfish, including black marlin and Pacific sailfish as well as a host of other impressive swimmers.
8 elegant U.S. mansion hotels
April: A tall ship ocean crossin
Royal Clipper's 21-night
Barbados to Rome trans-Atlantic crossing
is for the truly committed sailor and ship enthusiast. "They take the trip because they want to experience an uninterrupted stretch of sailing in open water, as there are 10 consecutive days at sea on this cruise. They also tend to be readers," said Buck Banks, a spokesman for Star Clippers.
The ship stops in Portugal's Azores, Malaga, Mallorca and Menorca, Spain before reaching Rome. Weather permitting, passengers may have the opportunity to swim in the middle of the Atlantic. Brrrrr. The 42-sail, five-masted full-rigged Royal Clipper was inspired by the historic tall ship Preussen. Rates start at $5,878 per person for double occupancy.
May: Tuscany
You'll want to stretch your legs now that you're back on dry land. Pedal through Tuscany with a six-night
bike tour from Backroads
. The verdant landscape, Medieval hilltop towns and Chianti wine tastings will take the edge off the rolling hills, and daily route options from "easygoing" to "avid" give you some wiggle room on your energy investment. (And there's shuttle support). Rates start at $4,398 per person for double occupancy.
June: Spotting the Komodo
To see a Komodo dragon in the wild, you have to go to Indonesia.
Komodo National Park
, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago, is home to more than 5,000 of the world's largest living lizards, the Varanus komodoensis. The park is made up of three main islands, Komodo, Rinca and Padar. Many outfitters run single and multi-day trips from Labuan Bajo on Flores. Guides are necessary as the dragons are dangerous. The area around the islands also boasts spectacular scuba diving.
July: Swiss hut hiking
Hiking from one Alpine hut to another to see the famed Matterhorn is many a European's idea of a good time. For those not familiar with the tradition, why not explore the Haute Route taken by British climbers for the first time more than a century ago? Only experienced trekkers need apply, even on an organized tour, because the route can include daily altitude gains of more than 3,000 feet.
U Track's Haute Route tour
through Switzerland starts in Le Chable (near Verbier) and concludes in Zermatt, including views of the Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, Zinalrothorn and Weisshorn during the trip. Rates start at $1190.
August: Burning Man Festival
Design your own desert sculpture. Turn your bicycle into a moving Oreo. Or create a mock Wall Street and burn it down, as artist Otto Von Danger did in 2012. The huge totem that's set ablaze in the Nevada desert, giving Burning Man its name, is just the tip of the iceberg that attracts free thinkers, radical artists and others wishing to break free of society's constraints. Purists complain that mainstream tourists changed the event with their RVs and plasma televisions -- hardly evidence of the self-reliance the organizers extoll. But as you watch "the Burn" when Burning Man gets torched, you may be transformed.
Pre-sale tickets cost $650 plus fees
. Need-based discounts are available.
September: Coastal Portugal hikin
While Portugal is well known for its port wine tourism, many travelers are just starting to realize how much more Portugal's rugged Atlantic coast offers the adventurer. A new
REI Adventures trip from Lisbon to the Algarve
hits villages, beaches and castles, ending up on the windswept, far-western Sagres promontory, on the edge of the Old World. Enjoy the food and drink in lovely cafes and plazas as you rest each night. Rates start at $2,499 for REI members and $2,899 for nonmembers. (REI charges a one-time fee of $20 to become a member.)
October: Climb t
Mount Everest's base camp
Climbing Mount Everest is not for the faint of heart or body. Even the most experienced climbers have perished on the unforgiving mountainside. A trip to Everest's base camp, still only for the most physically fit, may be the way to start exploring this Nepalese wonder.
National Geographic Expedition's 19-day Himalayan trek
to Everest's Southern Face Base Camp combines days of hiking with exploration of ancient Thami and Tengboche monasteries as well as Sherpa villages. Prices start at $4,995.
November: Search for South Africa's animals
There's never been a better time to explore all that South Africa has to offer. Go on safari, of course, but also explore this magnificent country while hiking, biking and kayaking. Spend three days on safari with
REI Adventures
at Sabi Sand Reserve, explore the Cape Winelands via bicycle, kayak to an African Penguin colony, hike Cape Town's Table Mountain and hike in the Drakensburg Mountains. Prices for REI members start at $6,999 and nonmember prices start at $7,700.
December: Christmas kayaking in Costa Rica
If you've had enough of artificial Christmas trees and shopping mall-dictated presents, leave it all behind and head to Costa Rica for a nature adventure. Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, this small Central American country has some of the most diverse animal life and lush landscape in the world. Not sure where to start?
G Adventures' Costa Rica kayaking trip
includes kayaking and standup paddling in Lake Arenal, kayaking through the canals around Tortuguero, a boat trip of Tortuguero National Park and a guided hike through the jungle. Prices start at $799.

With wet weather in the forecast, I decided to search for chanterelles. Friends have been finding them under leaves even in this dry weather.
I headed up Old La Honda Road and then south on Skyline. One bonus of rain riding is the lack of traffic. I found a fair number of chanterelles, and they're the firm, small ones that I prefer. Even with the rain, the ground is still dry.
