2021 Ford Escape Raptor Colors, Release Date, Redesign, Specs – The Ford Escape experienced a complete redesign in 2020, kicking off of the fourth technology with this small crossover. Using its new appears continue to fresh, we expect the 2021 Ford Escape Raptor to roll in being a carryover model.
Dreaming Of A Brash 2020 Ford Escape Raptor | Carscoops
2021 Ford Escape Raptor Redesign, Changes, Concept
The Ford Escape has lengthy boasted a peek which has been a lot more high-biking hatchback than crossover SUV, as well as the 2020 Ford Escape's all-new look leans into by using its more circular body facial lines, modern headlights, and other modern design cues. Customers searching for a bit of sportiness can move into the SE Sport Hybrid, which adds 19-in . dark-colored tires and black color cut. We assume this exterior design to stay the same within the 2021 Ford Escape Raptor.
Inside, the brand new-technology Escape ushers within a modern and modern day cabin using a cleaner dash setup with fewer control keys and knobs, a rotary shifter, along with a dash-top infotainment display screen. The instrument board can also be thinner, enhancing the entrance-row joint room while its horizontal facial lines make the cabin feel and look wider than. We expect this design and style to remain the same within the 2021 Ford Escape Raptor.
2021 Ford Escape Raptor Engine Specs, Horsepower
The 2020 Ford Escape characteristics a wide range of powertrain choices, and they also start with a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder system that delivers 180 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The optional gasoline-only engine is really a 2.0-liter turbocharged several-tube with 250 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. Driving the SE Hybrid and Titanium designs is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine coupled with an electrical engine that combines for 198 hp. Rounding out your collection is a plug-in-hybrid set up which also sets a 2.5-liter engine as well as an electric motor, but it pumps out 209 hp. We anticipate these powertrains to stay the same in the 2021 Ford Escape Raptor.
With "Good" scores in most IIHS collision assessments, "Acceptable" optionally available front lights, and a "Superior" result in forwards-collision avoidance, the 2020 Escape is definitely an IIHS Best Basic safety Select. On the top of these good scores, the 2020 Escape also arrives regular with lots of innovative security gear, such as auto unexpected emergency braking, productive lane control, auto high-beam headlights, and sightless-place screens. Purchasers can also go for adaptive vacation cruise control and a 360-education digital camera. We anticipate these security features and rankings to stay unaffected within the 2021 Ford Escape Raptor.
Would A Ford Escape Raptor Be Crazy Enough To Work?

Drawing: a Powerful Tool for Creativity and Personal Development- Rome
Available in: Barcelona, Prague, Rome
Course calendar: Check the confirmed dates
Cultural activities: The number and schedule of the cultural activities depend on the location; check the location webpage to discover more.
Course Description
Since the dawn of time, drawing and illustration have been natural ways of expression for humanity. They are also one of the most universal ways of communicating, which is acquired in early childhood and is understood by people from any culture.
Because of the universality of the language of images, teachers can use drawing and illustration to engage their audience and help students to process complex ideas. Unfortunately, this can be intimidating for adults, who often stop drawing when they finish school.
This course will provide school teachers with the essential tools and theory to deep back into drawing and illustration.
Participants will learn the basics of drawing and illustration, from color theory to drawing shapes and lines, from decomposing objects into simple forms to drawing simple figures and creating characters.
The course will also explore the psychology of drawing. Participants will learn to find their expressivity, use drawing to bring focus to the topic, or activity, and tap into their creativity.
Moreover, participants will discover how to exploit drawing and illustration to support their student learning. For instance, they will understand how drawings can facilitate memory by defining orders of information, how creating visual anchors can make topics more interesting and engaging, or how to improve reading comprehension through illustration.
The course will have a very hands-on approach, combining elements of the theory, individual and group work, and discussion. It is designed to progressively drag in the activities of anybody, even without previous experience.
Participants become more confident in using drawing techniques as teachers and create their portfolios. At the end of the course, participants will be comfortable while drawing in the classroom and feel ready to use illustrations and drawings to scaffold their students' learning and enhance their educational activities.

Those of us who are more intimate with nature have long known that we walk away from a gardening session with a wider smile….but now, science is backing it up: a bacterium found in soil, "Mycobacterium vaccae," has been found to affect the brain in a similar way as common antidepressants would. Yes, gardening really is the new Prozac!
According to a study in the online journal Neuroscience, contact with this microbe activates the release of serotonin. This boosts our happiness levels and lowers stress. On top of that, serotonin is also responsible for increasing cognitive ability, regulating digestion, and improving concentration. Even more exciting, the neurons that are activated when we have contact with this microbe are also related to our immunities. This suggests a very close connection between our immune systems and emotional health. Woohoo! More reasons to go play outside.
As humans, we have a microbiome in our gut. It is responsible for our moods, our immune systems, and even how attractive we are to mosquitos. The healthier that community is in your gut, the healthier our bodies are overall. Our gardens and landscapes also have a natural microbiome, and when we allow it to mingle with our own, the benefits are incredible! In general, more contact with the outside world means a stronger gut microbiome. Many of us have a less-than-ideal microbiome due to heavier use of antibiotics, less time outside, and ultra sterile home and work environments.
Access this natural antidepressant by gardening, taking a stroll through the forest or neighborhood park, eating freshly plucked veggies from the garden, or even just taking a moment to inhale deeply during your outside time. We can all enjoy this health boost because mycobacteria are ubiquitous. They occur everywhere in the world except for polar regions. Studies also show that allergies to pollen or dog hair can be decreased because this bacteria is shown to lower the inflammatory allergic response, and in turn, alleviate depression.
Who knows? Perhaps this microbe will be used to treat depression and other issues down the road. In the meantime, enjoy an all-access pass to the great outdoors and watch your smile grow right alongside your daffodils!
Until next thyme~

Using an induction cooktop is a wise choice to make these days.You cannot find more precision in temperature and lower risk facility in any other cooktop than an induction.
Now, coming back to induction cooktop complaints from users. We will cover some common questions that disturb them about induction cooktops.
The problems users frequently point to are noise, vibration, LED lights, etc.
Here are some of the problems and their solutions:
1. I have turned on the switch, but why isn't my induction starting?
Best Solution:
Please check if the controls are locked. If so, unlock the controls to get going.If it doesn't start then, it may be for the power outage or may even for a circuit overload. In that case, contact a professional electrician.
2. Why is my induction shutting off while cooking?
Best Solution:
It may happen because of the following reasons:
a) You have the automatic feature turned on.
The automatic shut off takes place when you're cooking exceeds the maximum cooking time limit.
Please see the user manual for detailed information on this.
b) The pan is not correctly placed on the cooking surface.
If there is no pan on the surface or the pan is misplaced, the sensor cannot identify the cooking vessel and shuts the cooker.
Check and place the cooking vessel rightly to avoid this problem.
c) High internal temperature.
Sometimes, your induction cooktop may shut off before the time limit.
It may happen if the heat sensor detects too much heat inside the cooktop.
In this situation check and make sure that the vent holes are not covered or blocked.
3. Why is my food not cooked or heated properly?
Best Solution:
Check if your heat setting is perfect for cooking. If it is too low, adjust it to meet the requirement.If it is not the problem, then check if the vessel is placed suitably on the cooking zone to ensure the heat passing.
And please do ensure that your cooking vessel has a ferromagnetic bottom.Another thing to remember is that the bottom of your cooking vessel covers the whole area of the cooking zone.
If you are using a cookware that has a low bottom circumference than the cooking zone, the vessel will not get all the heat your cooktop is generating.
4. Why is my food burned?
Best Solution:
Read and follow the required temperature setting guideline for cooking carefully. but still, your food gets burned. Why is that?
Probably because you are using a lightweight cookware that heats up sooner than expected and burns the food in that process.
To avoid such problems, choose best cookware that is lightweight and suit with the induction cooktop.
5. What's with the noise and vibration?
Best Solution:
If there is a soft 'hum' that you are hearing in an induction cooktop, it's from the cooling fan inside.You can't help but listen because you don't want it removed. If you do so, your induction will stop working after merely 6 months of buying.
But if the noise is too much than a soft buzzing, it may occur for something else that is entirely not related to your cooktop.
The same goes for the vibration. An unevenly bottomed vessel, or a lightweight lid or even a loosely fit handle of your cookware can induce the vibration.
6. Some LED lights are flashing the hell out of my eyes. Should I be worried?
Best Solution:
No. Don't worry. The lights are flashing because you have forgotten to turn off your induction cooker after you are done with your cooking. It's a safety option.
Using an induction has its advantages. And so far, the disadvantages that are stated by people are found worthless. So don't hesitate to buy yourself one.
7. Why my induction cooker cannot detect the pan?
Best Solution:
The size of your pan is essential to its functioning on an induction cooker. Make sure the diameter of the cookware always matches that of the induction cooktop. When the diameters don't match, some portions of the pan are left out and results in improper heating. Likewise, when the base is too small, the induction cooker remains unactivated. Lastly, ensure you use an induction-compatible cookware.
8. Why is my induction stove not working?
Best Solution:
Your induction stove may not work for various reasons.
- It can be due to a disconnection between the cooker and the power supply. Check the power source for a triggered circuit breaker or a fuse that has blown.
- Induction cookers come with 'lock modes' to prevent accidents and save energy. When in lock mode, it will not work so check to make sure that isn't the case.
- The display may show error codes and if that is the case always refer to the USER MANUAL.
9. How to check if my induction stove sensor is working?
Best Solution:
You can check whether the induction cooker's heat sensor is working or not using a multimeter.
10. How to reset the induction cooker?
Best Solution:
When all else fails, you can reset your induction cooker and start afresh. In order to do so, take the circuit breaker and trip the switch to shut power down, and give it 10-20 seconds. Restarting it will achieve a complete reset of the equipment.
11. Is my induction burner saving energy?
Induction burners do save energy for their electromagnetic efficiency. Firstly, no heat energy is lost when the cookware is removed from the surface as no heat settles from below. Secondly, they use 90% of the electricity converted to heat energy (gas stoves lose only use 60%) and no heat is lost to the environment.
12. Is induction-cooked food healthy to eat?
Absolutely! In fact, it is healthier cooked on induction cookers than gas or electric. Although it produces heat energy from electromagnetism, the radiation is minimal. Unlike gas stoves that emit external heat to the air, induction cookers do not and hence, you get no CO or CO2 in the environment.
Electric appliances in the kitchen have certainly made our lives easy, it's just that sometimes we could be using them in the wrong way. You can always find a solution for any issue online, the internet is full of information about appliances by people like TodaysCave.com.

Five Productivity Upgrades To Your University Routine
- A Routine Sleep Schedule- One of the biggest time wasters amongst students is napping (of course), and whilst it's nice to come home from a lecture and get back into bed, the reality is that it can be disruptive and ineffective, therefore a waste of time. A regular sleep schedule, which would involve going to bed at a reasonable hour (so not 2am) would mean you're well rested for the day ahead, after a good night's sleep. Eventually your body would naturally wake up in the morning, so those 8am starts won't be too painful for long!
- Avoid working in your bed- As an English student, I have definitely fallen victim to this bad habit in the past as I much prefer to read in my comfy bed rather than at my desk, but this is one of the worst habits that can affect your productivity. If you're working in a place your brain associates with relaxation and sleep, it can be hard to concentrate on work and likewise, if you sleep in the same place you've been working all day, it becomes hard for your brain to shut off at night, thus leading to a bad night's sleep and tiredness the next day.
- Get rid of the distractions- It's so nice to be able to work from the comfort of your own home; however there are also a lot of distractions that can hinder your productive working. It might be the food in your cupboard calling your name, your flatmates wandering in to tell you the grisly details of their previous night out or the TV blaring in the living room but if you're not in the right studying mind-set, anything will be an opportunity to stop. It would be really helpful to exercise a little self-control; ask your flatmates to not bother you in your room or to turn off the TV, and bring your snacks to your desk so you're less likely to waste time taking many trips to the cupboard. This will enable you to get into the right mind-set for a productive day of work.
- Consider not working in your room at all- Personally, I find that working on campus in a study room or the library makes me much more productive as I'm in an environment associated with studying and learning. Whilst it's okay to work in your room if you can trust yourself enough to not get distracted, it can be more effective to just separate yourself from those distractions completely. Creating a clear distinction between an environment for work and an environment for relaxation, will result in you increasing your productivity throughout the day as you are no longer around the distractions of your home and also your down time in the evening with friends will then be much more rewarding. Whilst it's okay to work in your room if you can trust yourself enough to not get distracted, this tip is for those who find it a little harder to turn away from the distractions of home.
- Find a study buddy!- You are much more likely to be productive if there is someone to hold you accountable. Similarly, you're likely to get more studying done when working with and around other people who are also studying. So next time you want to go to the library, suggest to one of your flatmates that they come along, that way there's someone counting on you getting up early in the morning to go with them and then you can enjoy down time together at the end of a productive day!
I hope you find these tips helpful and have picked up some habits that will enable you to lead a more productive and sustainable lifestyle. In first year I used to get up at 10 everyday, go to my lectures and do the bare minimum for work. Through doing so, I was restricting my success and happiness but by changing my bad habits and implementing the tips above, I have become a lot more productive and I hope you will too.
Good Luck!

Days & Nights In Forest
Aranyer Din Ratri
(Days & Nights in a Forest)
When I look at this photograph I can almost smell the
forests of Chhipadohar !
The month long shoot for the film 'Arranyer Din Ratri"
was enveloped in magic.
No electricity in our cottage. No loos. No running water.
Spiders and insects crawling everywhere. Potatoes for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. Who cared?
A small price to pay for the camaraderie, the moonlit
walks, the Rabindra Sangeet – and the incredible good
fortune of working with one of the world's finest
directors – Satyajit Ray.
How could anyone envision that a 'westernized and
sophisticated' girl like me could play an Adivasi tribal
But then, I guess that's what sets a great
director apart.
The first sighting took place at Raj Kapoor's house. Ray had seen a preview
of 'Mera Naam Joker', and at the dinner that followed, I noticed him staring at
me throughout the evening. Everybody else noticed it too.
Within a month I got a letter from him offering me 'an important role' in his
new film. He wanted me to come to Calcutta for a screen-test.
He wrote, 'It's only a screen test for make-up. Not for your acting abilities -
because I have no doubt whatsoever about that.'
You can NOT imagine the level of my joy. I felt I could fly...
And the euphoria had only just begun…
We journeyed to Chhipadohar by train and car.
For a week Manikda' (as Ray was affectionately called) wouldn't
let me shoot. He'd take me to the 'baati-khaana' (the liquor shop)
where the Adivasis would gather at night to drink – and let
me just observe.
I saw women who were exactly like 'Duli', my character, and it
made it all so easy.
I relished my transformation. It took four hours to cover me with
the black paint (even in my ears!) – and it took 3 hours to remove
it later! And in the in-between I became another being, rustic,
uninhibited, untutored and raw.
Manikda' would come to our cottage after pack-up to play
word games. But first he would show me the story-board sketches
of the next day's shoot – and I would know exactly how he had
conceived the scene frame-by-frame.
It was then that I became fascinated with direction.
I make similar story boards when I direct now, following his line of
It was a turning point in my life..
Manikda' became a friend – and a pen-friend. I still have a pile
of his beautifully handwritten letters. So inspired was I by the
culture of Bengal that I learned Rabindra Sangeet - and Bengali
It was a memorable time, cocooned in this distant forest, making a film
that the world would soon applaud.
We were a small group and it seemed no one else existed on the planet.
It was surreal.. timeless..

Donald Trump has responded to the UK ambassador in Washington's leaked memos, saying Sir Kim Darroch "has not served the UK well".In the highly sensitive documents, Sir Kim described the White House as "incompetent" and "inept", writing: "We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal."Speaking to reporters in New Jersey on Sunday, Mr Trump said: "The ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that." He added: "We are not big fans of that man and he has not served the UK well … I can say things about him but I won't bother."The UK government said earlier today that it had launched an investigation to discover who leaked the memos, while the Foreign Office stated: "Our team in Washington have strong relations with the White House and no doubt … these will withstand such mischievous behaviour."The British embassy informed the White House on Friday that the memos would be published over the weekend, according to a person familiar with the matter, and the two sides were in touch throughout the weekend.UK justice secretary David Gauke called the leak "disgraceful" but said Britain "should expect our ambassadors to tell the truth, as they see it."Foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt moved to prevent damage caused by the disclosure of candid cables, describing the comments as "personal opinions" and "not the opinions of the British government".Mr Hunt said on Sunday: "It's really important to say that the ambassador was doing his job as an ambassador which is to give frank reports and personal opinions about what's happening in the country where he works, and that's his job to send back those reports but they are personal opinions, not the opinions of the British government, not my opinion."And we continue to think that under President Trump the United States administration is both highly effective and the best possible friend of Britain on the international stage."The memos characterised Mr Trump's policy on Iran as "incoherent, chaotic." The president has frustrated European allies by withdrawing the US from a complex deal designed to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons and has seemed in recent weeks to be on the verge of armed conflict with Iran.The British ambassador said he did not believe Mr Trump's public explanation for calling off a planned military strike against Iran last month because of concern about possible civilian casualties. Sir Kim said it was more likely the strike was cancelled because he felt it would be a liability in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.Speaking to reporters on Sunday as he departed Morristown for Washington, Mr Trump said Iran "better be careful," hours after Tehran announced it would shortly boost its uranium enrichment above a cap set by a landmark 2015 nuclear deal.In one of the memos, Sir Kim warned British officials not to write the president off, saying there was a "credible path" to him winning a second term. He said Mr Trump may "emerge from the flames, battered but intact, like [Arnold] Schwarzenegger in the final scenes of The Terminator."

Gorkhaland supporters want Centre's role in removing forces.
New Delhi: Gorkhaland supporters on Sunday marched in the national capital to reinforce their demand for a separate state and the immediate imposition of President's Rule in West Bengal. The protesters marched from Rajghat to Jantar Mantar carrying 110-meter-long national flag, depicting 110 years of their struggle for a separate state.
Protestors belonging to the Gorkha Sanyukt Sang-harsh Samiti here demanded the Centre's intervention in removing paramilitary forces with imm-ediate effect. "The West Bengal government is tre-ating common people like terrorists and killing them. The Central government should remove paramilitary forces and terminate the services of the director general of police," GSSS president Kiran B.K. told reporters here.
The march culminated at Jantar Mantar, where they joined their co-supporters who had been protesting for three weeks now. "Just like Bengalis have their identity, we are fighting for ours. We are getting killed for seeking the rights we deserve. The Centre should look into the issue," said Stuti Thami of Darjeeling, adding that she was "ready to die" but not to stay under the West Bengal government. Some of the placards that protesters carried criticised the BJP for its "attitude before and after the elections". The Gorkha Janmukti Marcha (GJM) on Sunday planned to take out rallies against the alleged killing of its supporters in police firing in Darjeeling as the indefinite shutdown in support of their dem-and for a separate Gork-haland entered the 25th day, amid a strict vigil by the Army and the police.
The Army was re-deployed on Saturday after fresh violence erupted in the Darjeeling hills where Gorkhaland supporters torched a police outpost, the toy train railway station and clashed with the police at two places.

Full ownership of Finland's largest feed manufacturer, Suomen Rehu, has been acquired by the Hankkija-Maatalous agricultural trade arm of SOK Corp., itself part of Finnish cooperative enterprises conglomerate S Group. Suomen Rehu has feed factories in Finland and Latvia and produced around 720,000 tons of feed in 2007.
Hankkija-Maatalous had purchased 51 percent of its shares in early 2007 from former owner, food group Lännen Tehtaat, with the option of taking the other 49 percent. Hankkija now plans to merge the Suomen Rehu feed operations with the on going Hankkija business from the beginning of 2009. The Suomen Rehu brand will, however, remain in use. A 19 percent stake in Hankkija-Maatalous was aquired in April 2006 by phosphates supplier Kemira GrowHow, now part of Yara.

Exergaming comes of age: Companies, consumers ready to jump on the bandwagon
So why can't fitness be fun? That's the question of the century. Enter exergaming: Not a new concept, certainly, but one that is gathering steam and development. And perhaps has reached that tipping point where it will gain followers.
Get access to everything we publish when you sign up for Outside+.
So why can't fitness be fun? That's the question of the century.
Because although everybody uses the excuse that they don't have enough time to be more active, one recent study showed that folks would rather sleep than workout if they were magically granted another hour in the day.
It seems "lack of time" may be one big ruse. Lack of fun (and sleeping can be a lot of fun, don't you think?) could very well be the missing link to not only get people on the workout bandwagon, but to also keep them there.
Enter exergaming: Not a new concept, certainly, but one that is gathering steam and development. And perhaps has reached that tipping point where it will gain followers. The Tectrix VR-Bike (remember that?) offered a fascinating, fun workout that zipped by because users were involved in the video game on the screen (i.e., having fun) and weren't even thinking about the calories they were burning. But, alas, the VR-Bike was far ahead of its time. (See recent SNEWS® stories on exergame concepts at the Club Industry show, Oct. 21, 2004, and at the Health & Fitness Business show, Sept. 1, 2004.)
But the trend of layering exercise onto gaming devices — or, vice versa, adding games to exercise equipment — is again picking up steam as witnessed by a stand-alone "Play Zone" dedicated to exergaming at someplace other than a fitness show — at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this year. That alone signifies an appeal to mainstream markets, not just exercise nuts. (We don't imagine that the Consumer Electronics Show is packed with fit, active people.) The Play Zone was filled with exergames our industry knows and some it doesn't: Powergrid (by Kilowatt), Konami, and The Electronic Spin Gold Launchpad that simulates playing golf on a PGA course so you can make believe you're a Tiger reincarnate.
Interactivity is inevitable
This week's IHRSA trade show in San Francisco will see a few exhibitors also showing off new exergame equipment (Expresso Fitness) and other exhibitors trying to round up more interest in ones we know but perhaps haven't paid enough attention to (Trazer, licensed by Cybex, and Makoto). Other companies are developing more that they tell us they will show at the Health & Fitness Business show in August…and beyond.
"Interactivity is inevitable in the industry," said Sandra Ballinghoff, head of sales and marketing for Expresso Fitness, which will debut its video-interactive bike at the IHRSA show. "Fitness is following a cultural shift. Look at how people are inclined to live their lives."
Companies that designed their product for the home (Cat Eye Fitness, among others) are branching out into the commercial market as they find that health clubs are jumping on the bandwagon to introduce this new form of fitness. And ones designed for the commercial market are looking to the home market (Makoto, for example). Makes perfect sense. These products combine games and entertainment with fitness with the goal of inspiring youth and sedentary people to exercise, all of which could help the so-called obesity epidemic in the United States.
Marian Shaw, co-founder of Makoto (www.makoto.com), has seen an increase in interest in the company's product in several markets, including schools, special needs and physical therapy facilities. Makoto is a three-sided arena with columns on each corner with lights that illuminate randomly so a user equipped with a baton must constantly move around to hit the lit one as quickly as possible to "win." You think that sounds easy? It's a workout! Fun? You betcha. Co-founder Dave Shaw recently told SNEWS® as he watched a young player in the arena at The Super Show that the company invariably attracts several users at a show that get addicted and just keep coming back. Now, would somebody do that if it were just a workout? Marian added that the product combines speed, sound, sight and agility, so it is a true mind/body workout.
"The fun aspect is what makes it successful," said Shaw. "Brain fitness is the next evolution of fitness. Baby boomers are concerned not just with maintaining their physical health; they are concerned with staying mentally sharp as well." Â
Interactivity is addictive
Powergrid, which makes the Kilowatt (www.powergridfitness.com), sells direct to the consumer, but it has plans to branch into health clubs soon. The device, which debuted at The Super Show in January 2004, looks a bit like a bike but instead of a seat there's a pole you sort of lean back on. You control the video game on the screen (any Nintendo-like video game can hook up to it) by leaning and moving with your entire body holding "handlebars" that act a bit like a joystick that guide the game. It's a full-body workout, including torso and abs. Bet you'll crack a sweat in a minute and not want to stop.
"This is an exercise devise that works because of the addictive nature of video games," said Jason Grimm, Powergrid's vice president of marketing. "The Kilowatt provides a full body workout that includes strength training and isometrics." Â
BroadcastVision (www.broadcastvision.com) has now brought many of these products together to form what it calls the fitness Arcade Xpress, a "club within a club" exercise entertainment arcade that combines video game technology and exercise equipment. Exercisers compete against themselves or others for the highest score, adding a fun, competitive component to the workout. Look for it at IHRSA.
"Our exercise arcade is a great solution for childhood and adult obesity and will get most of the couch potatoes off the couch and moving," said Kevin Fee, marketing director for Broadcast Vision. "The hottest trend is with the video game exercise products. These new products are creating a new day and a new opportunity for both the exerciser and the facility operator."
Fee said there are benefits to adding an arcade to the suite of club offerings. "These are what potential members may notice the most when shopping for a club membership," he said. "The Fitness Arcade Xpress will increase new membership sales, increase personal training sales, increase member retention, create programs for childhood and adult obesity, create sports performance programs, promote competitive workout contests and promote families working out together." Â
Interactivity is the future
Bill Howland of IHRSA has witnessed the increase in interactive technology in clubs first hand. "We do expect to see fitness equipment manufacturers continue to incorporate interactive technology in their products in the future. This technology will certainly include interactive games, but I expect we will also see more fitness equipment that provides users with Internet and web access, as well as integrated fitness equipment systems, which provide the exerciser with feedback and workout information.
"The industry has recognized the value of providing club members with 'Xertainment' options, i.e., entertainment and exercise, for some time," Howland added, "and interactive fitness equipment technology is definitely an expression of this concept from the equipment side of the industry."
With words to describe these activities like "addictive," "fun" and "entertaining" — and we'll add "distracting" — it seems that clubs can only win by introducing them to their members. Consumers too will begin to demand them in their homes. That adds up to sales and revenues — and a win-win situation.
Now if only someone could just invent a machine that helps us exercise while we're sleeping away that extra hour a day.
SNEWS® View: In the last four years, SNEWS® has covered the exergame devices at shows and raved about how much fun we ourselves had playing them. We recently watched a couple of kids, about 10 years old, going non-stop on a Dance Dance Revolution device in a video arcade, having a ball … but dripping with sweat. Sneaky little workout it was. Sure, there are us geeks who like to work out for the workout's sake, but most people — especially beginners and certainly kids — don't understand that feeling and would opt instead for the couch. So adding the fun element can help ease them in, and then get them addicted. This interactive element holds especially true with the current generation of youth and, frankly, also for those middle-aged and perhaps beyond who also have gotten used to more interactivity in their lives through the omnipresence of the Internet and other techno-devices. We think this is indeed the wave of the future. Now, if only that wonderful Tectrix VR-Bike could be reincarnated with today's technology.

With well over 2,000 locations in the United States, Waffle House is a place you can safely assume most Americans have been to. Particularly in the South, the round-the-clock chain is synonymous with consistently serving satisfying plates of eggs, bacon, and waffles.
This episode of Cult Following shows that consistency is exactly why people keep returning — some even every day for 50 years straight. They know it's hard to find a place that will serve your eggs, hash browns, and toast just the way you like it, and with the exact jelly you want without having to ask. They know that even though Waffle House turns out 341 strips of bacon, 238 hash brows, and 145 waffles every minute, that each one will be just right.

By Curt Cavin | Published: May 5, 2021
Stefan Wilson has Google and a curious amateur driver to thank for this opportunity to compete in the 105th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.
It was only a couple of months ago that Wilson met businessman Don Cusick at The Thermal Club driving facility in Riverside County, California. Cusick liked Wilson's fresh face and engaging personality, but he didn't know much about his background, especially his professional experience. So, he went Internet searching to see if Wilson was somebody.
Within moments, Cusick learned what most fans of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES have long known: Wilson is not only the younger brother of standout driver Justin Wilson, a seven-time INDYCAR race winner who suffered a fatal injury in a racing accident in 2015, he is a person with dogged determination and two "500" starts to his resume.
As Wilson aptly describes, he is a driver who keeps "getting back up after being knocked down."
"And I keep showing this Yorkshire grit I've got," Wilson said, laughing.
The result of Cusick's web search led to an in-depth discussion about "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," a bucket-list item for a man who remembers watching closed-circuit broadcasts of the "500" in the 1960s. Wilson offered Cusick a connection to suite tickets for this year's 105th Running, which led Cusick to invite Wilson to join him. But Wilson, like most drivers, said he would rather not spectate if he couldn't participate, to which Cusick responded, "Well, then let's do something about that."
Cusick connected the sponsorship dots, bringing a company he is invested in – LOHLA SPORT, a premier women's golf lifestyle brand – to the discussion. Wilson, who was shocked by the speed at which talk transitioned to reality, then got approval from Andretti Autosport to drive the team's No. 25 Honda in the upcoming "500." It's the same ride — and with the same engineer, Doug Zister – that Wilson had in 2018 when he led with on Lap 195 until being forced to pit for fuel. Will Power then assumed the lead and the win.
And that's how this deal came together.
"That's how racing is," Wilson said. "Sometimes you beat your head against the wall, and then sometimes something like this (appears)."
Cusick said Wilson made the decision easy.
"Super-nice guy, super easy to get along with was (my) first impression," he said. "But as I got to know him a little bit better over the first couple of days we were running cars together, I kind of heard his whole back story, and he was just the kind of guy you feel really good about giving a boost to. Him, his brother, everything they've been through (as a family) – just his whole story touched my heart.
"It's a pretty big investment to make in someone who you only really know for few days, but he's the kind of guy you immediately get a good feeling about."
Also involved in this entry is Lisa O'Hurley, founder and CEO of LOHLA SPORT. She is the wife of comedic actor John O'Hurley, best known for his "Seinfeld" character, Mr. J. Peterman. He also hosted "Family Feud."
Wilson will be on the track when official practice begins Tuesday, May 18, and he will be part of the Indianapolis-based organization that has won the "500" five times with five different drivers, most recently with Takuma Sato in 2017. Two of those Indy winners remain on the team – Ryan Hunter-Reay in 2014, Alexander Rossi in 2016 – and two other drivers have won an NTT P1 Award at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. James Hinchcliffe won Indy's pole in 2016, Marco Andretti did last year.
Andretti Autosport also fields Colton Herta and has a technical alliance with Meyer Shank Racing, which is fielding Jack Harvey and three-time "500" winner Helio Castroneves in this race. The collection of experience is vast, with eight drivers collaborating along with retired Hall of Fame driver Michael Andretti, veteran Bryan Herta and their team of proven engineers and mechanics.
"An amazing opportunity," Wilson said of joining the pack.
Wilson, 31, was due for an easier year preparing for this event. In 2019, his agreement with a primary sponsor fell through in the final hours before the deadline, leaving him without an opportunity to make his third start at IMS. Two years ago, his last-minute effort didn't materialize, leaving him to wonder if he would ever return to IMS.
"It's been a bit of a roller coaster in my career," he said. "The Indy 500 may only be a month, but for drivers like myself that are committed to it, it's a year-long commitment. It's something we work at around the clock all year to try to make it back and to make this race.
"It's mentally challenging."
Wilson has kept financially afloat by coaching other drivers, many of whom compete in the Ferrari Challenge sports car series. That gig allows him to pursue INDYCAR opportunities when they arise.
Wilson knew he had a golden opportunity with Andretti Autosport in 2018, and he nearly made the most of it by taking the lead with eight laps remaining. He finished 15th but impressed team officials with his steadiness and hunger while protecting the equipment.
This year, Wilson plans to improve on the only part of his driving he believes has held him back. He wants to be more aggressive on restarts, and he has learned a lot by watching Rossi's approach.
"In 2018, I was still sort of a rookie (at IMS) and my goal was to run every mile I could and finish the 500 miles," he said, noting that an electrical issue on Lap 120 had taken him out of the 2016 race. "(Being inexperienced) didn't afford me the opportunity to take many risks – I didn't have the opportunity to say, 'I'm going to risk it all and try to pass four cars around the outside on this restart,' because if I wrecked in that situation, it would have hurt my ability to potentially come back.
"It would have put my reputation as a crazy guy that shouldn't be in the Indy 500, so I had to be a little more reserved."
Given how the past few years have gone, Wilson figures to be noticed more this month. And he feels as if he belongs.
"This year I want to stand my ground a little bit more on the restarts and get more racy," he said. "But the similar goal is to run every lap, learn as much as possible and utilize the month to create a foundation potentially keep the momentum to keep coming back here."
The Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge airs live on NBC and the INDYCAR Radio Network at 11 a.m. (ET) Sunday, May 30.

Is a healthy INTJ more like an ESFP?
Sunday January 24, 2021
JD asks,
Would you say a happy, healthy INTJ is more like an ESFP?
In some ways, sure, maybe so. Maybe the healthy INTJ is more outgoing, upbeat, well-engaged with the sensory world, funny, that sort of thing. Jujimufu is a good example of these characteristics in an INTJ, in my opinion.
At the same time, there's much more to it!
You can also say that a healthy INTJ looks more like just about any other happy and healthy person. And type is only one way of looking at that. For example…
Healthy ENFJ: The INTJ is more idealistic, diplomatic, and clever.
Healthy ISFP: The INTJ is more gentle, quietly radiant, and able to give attention to complex relationship dynamics.
Healthy ESTP: The INTJ is more impactful, improvisatory with in-situ logic, and genuinely interested in how you are doing.
Healthy ISTJ: The INTJ is more steadily progressive in their pursuits, open-minded, and attentive to the way quiet, simple convention can play a heroic role in life.
(Are we trying to cram 500,000% of things into one individual? No—keep in mind these are small, simple factors of preference and judgment that add up to create a whole experience of, and for, a person. This typically happens over long time spans. Don't try picking this up over the summer.)
Outside of personality type, maybe you can say these other things about healthy people:
- Their blood pressure is within the normal range.
- Their budget is under control and not an overpowering concern.
- They can give time and energy to the needs of other people.
- They can set reasonable boundaries at work, home, and play.
There's a lot to this "healthy" thing, and I hope that helps clarify my thinking a bit. I'm glad you asked.
The ESFP model is really helpful, I think, because that's one of the INTJ's first stops for relief. When I meet INTJs who struggle really badly—and I've been there too—ESFP stuff seems really helpful to them. ESFP perspectives, ESFP judgments. ESFP jokes and sometimes ESFP not giving a care about work anymore, because I'm just done.
So it seems that when we've been really hard on ourselves and our energy levels, we just have to head to that opposite.
The fact that there's much more to healthy living than this single dichotomy has been a really enjoyable thing to me too, though. I didn't really appreciate this when I was younger, but nowadays I really like that there are so many details to consider. They're all interesting, and chewy, and you never know how things will turn out. Life's more of an adventure.

Study Chronicles DMCA Abuses
Jennifer Urban of USC's Intellectual Property Legal Clinic and Laura Quilter of the Samuelson Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley, released a summary report of a study they've been working on regarding DMCA takedown notices. The study, which is due out in March 2006, finds that some 30% of all DMCA notices are flawed and, potentially, illegal.
While the study's results are shocking to many who were not aware of the adverse impact the DMCA has had since it's passage in 1998, many who have studied copyright law, myself included, have found it to be a reaffirmation of what they already knew.
However, flaws in the study call many of its results into question and many of the conclusions drawn in the matter are questionable at best. So, though already heralded by copyleft and civil liberty advocates, the impact the study will have is very much in the air.
Section 512 of the DMCA, where the notice and takedown provision is listed, was part of a compromise between copyright advocates and online service providers. In short, providers could not be held liable for copyright infringement on their services if they met certain requirements, one of the key ones being the expeditious removal of infringing works from their servers.
The law was cheered by providers and copyright holders alike. Copyright holders gained a quick and easy means of shutting down infringement on the Web, and providers were removed from the threat of copyright infringement suits and not burdened with scanning their services for infringing materials in the process. However, many began to wonder if the law would be abused, mainly to stifle free speech or legitimate reuse of work.
Urban's study aimed to determine exactly what the rate of abuse was and reached some startling conclusions.
The study' s key findings can be summerized in these paragraphs taken from the second page of the report:
Thirty percent of notices demanded takedown for claims that presented an obvious question for a court (a clear fair use argument, complaints about uncopyrightable material, and the like);
Notices to traditional ISP's included a substantial number of demands to remove files from peer-to-peer networks (which are not actually covered under the takedown statute, and which an OSP can only honor by terminating the target's Internet access entirely); and
One out of 11 included significant statutory flaws that render the notice unusable (for example, failing to adequately identify infringing material).
In addition, we found some interesting patterns that do not, by themselves, indicate concern, but which are of concern when combined with the fact that one third of the notices depended on questionable claims:
Over half�"57%�"of notices sent to Google to demand removal of links in the index were sent by businesses targeting apparent competitors;
Over a third�"37%�"of the notices sent to Google targeted sites apparently outside the United States.
The study goes on to find that, on average, the number of takedown notices being filed is increasing over time, with the growth in notices to search engines outstripping other kinds. It also found that the vast majority of DMCA notices are sent in by corporations and businesses, but not the movie and music industries, who lobbied so hard for the law. Instead, according to the study, they send the bulk of 512(a) notices where takedown is neither possible nor required, for example when works are distributed over file sharing networks.
Finally, the study finds that the counter-notice, how someone who has been wrongfully targeted by a DMCA notice can get their material restores, is almost never used. They found only seven notices in their sample and almost no instances of put-back can be found.
In short, the study itself is an excellent read and, if you haven't done so, you should take a look at it now, it has a wide variety of statistics about who is filing notices, who is targeted, what they are for and, often times, what is wrong with them.
However, the study has several flaws, most of which are discussed in the summary, which are most likely affecting the results and the credibility of them.
First, the sample size for the study, approximately 900 notices, is far too small. The hundreds, if not thousands, of notices being filed per week, 900 over the course of three years does not provide a large sample and maybe prone to bias.
Second, the study only sampled from ChillingEffects.org. The site, which collects DMCA notices and C&D letters, gets the vast majority of its content from Google, who posts all of their notices on there, and from user submissions. As the report put it, such a sample, "may skew towards the substantially flawed" since the majority of Google's notices deal with the search engine, not the various hosting services it offers, and, thus, is more prone to abuse. Also, flawed notices, both legally and technically, are more likely to be submitted to chillingeffects for both review and documentation.
Finally, the study makes no attempt to distinguish between accidental misuse of the law and intentional ones. Though the study does state that both targets and senders often have limited understanding of copyright law, there's no statistics on the issue. Though this would be something very difficult to study, it's a crucial piece of the puzzle when trying to understand how the DMCA is being used.
The researchers, however have promised to gather further data, in particular from large hosts such as ThePlanet and attempt to gain a larger, less biased sample. Until then though, the findings of the study, though interesting, should be taken with healthy skepticism, if for no other reason than the practice of good research.
I personally had one DMCA notice included in the sample. Since it was one I faxed, I can't say for certain if it was likely to be included in the 11% with statutory flaws (it used an old template and may not have had my full address). (Note: I've checked my information and it appears to have been complete) However, I can say for certain that the claim itself was legitimate and within the bounds of copyright law (it was, predictably enough, a plagiarism issue).
Though it's exciting to be a part of a major study on the DMCA, I find it very hard to take the results at face value. Even though the results of the study mirror my own conversations with Web hosts and others in the field, the potential for skew is just too great to ignore.
However, I think the most important thing is that this study not be used to attack everyone who uses the DMCA. If 30% of all DMCA notices have legal problems then 70% don't. This means that, for every misuse (accidental or intentional) of the DMCA, there have been two legitimate (or positive) uses of it.
It would be very harsh for copyleft advocates, many of whom who support file sharing where only 10% of the traffic is legal, to blindly condemn everyone who uses DMCA notices, even those who do so begrudgingly and legally, when nearly 70% of such notices are within the bounds of the law.
I'm no fan of the DMCA and I use it only because I have to. Still, I don't want to see small copyright holders trying to protect their work from plagiarism be condemned simply because a minority have abused the same system.
The last line of the subject said that it will discuss proposals for change in the full paper, due out in four months. In the meantime though, I would like to offer a few of my suggestions on the matter.
Note: These suggestions are ideas for working within the bounds of the DMCA. The simplest solution, of course, is to simply repeal it and start over.
Eliminate 512(d): 512(d), which requires search engines to remove links to infringing material. It is the most commonly abused since it can cripple a site's ability to promote itself. Though useful in instances where an international host is uncooperative, its scope of usefulness is far outstripped by its scope for abuse. When you can get someone removed from the search engines without notification, warning or recourse, there's just too much potential for misuse. Search engines do not host content and should not be the copyright police of the Web. It's an unfair burden with too many risks.
Offer Damages for False DMCA Notices: Filing a false DMCA notice is already an act of perjury, however, the law specifies no damages that can be obtained if one is hit with a malicious notice. Though the likelihood of someone suing for such an offense is slim, it adds an extra deterrent.
Make DMCA Notices Public: The same as providers are required to submit information to the copyright office regarding their designated agent, they should also send in DMCA notices that they act upon. A public library of DMCA notices would not only make future research easier, but also eliminate one of the biggest complaints of the current system, secrecy.
Give Providers More Leeway: Under the previous system, when copyright holders had to work with abuse teams and not deal with the DMCA, providers investigated claims of copyright infringement and threw out those that were clearly baseless. The DMCA should offer a similar provision. Though no one should expect hosts to make determinations about fair use or other complicated copyright questions, the fact that the host can not say no, even when the claim is outrageous, is very troubling.
In the End
The report is very interesting and has some great information, however, there's no real meat for me to sink my teeth into. The flaws in the report only seem to belittle conclusions that I have observed. These aren't the papers that I want to wave around while demanding that Congress reconsider the DMCA and this isn't the report that's going to change everything.
Still, that might be coming and we'll have these two researchers to thank.[tags]Plagiarism, DMCA, Copyright Law, Copyleft, Copyright, Content Theft[/tags]

Top athletes, be they human or equine, require a holistic and comprehensive therapy program that will keep their muscles, nerves, minds and psyche in top form,, ready for the demands of competition. Micheal Baxter has become a pro on both sides of the Atlantic in preparing horses for international events.
Baxter has been working around high-performance horses most of his life. Born and raised in Lachine, Quebec, Micheal received a diploma in Animal Science from McGill University. After college, he moved to Calgary, Alberta to take the Farrier Science course at Olds College.
Since his heart was actually with training reining horses, in 1977 he worked for Greg Ward in Tulare, California before returning to open his own training stables in Calgary, At night, he started studying sport massage so he could better help some of his own riding students.
Realizing that there was a huge need for people to better understand the importance of proper massage practices for horses, he started a program at Montreal's Mount Royal College in Equine Sport Massage for horses. When he was invited to teach in Germany and work with some of Europe's top performance horses, Baxter jumped to the opportunity, moving to Warendorf, Germany to manage the new rehabilitation center there. For the next sixteen years, Micheal worked with International show jumping and dressage riders from Germany, Spain and the United States, only recently returning to his native Canada to work with horses and riders here.
Micheal's experience in Europe helped him develop a holistic approach to Equine Sport Therapy as way of increasing the performance and health of horses. "Top performance horses need to be like seasoned Karate expert - relaxed, responsive, calm and alert-mind so that they can produce a maximum performance" says Baxter. "Fr our horses to be that way, we have to be the same - balanced!"
Baxter, who emphasizes te art of performance riding and understanding the influence a rider's balance has on the horse's performance and health- -a team approach to interdependent balance between horse and riders.
Returning to Canada, Baxter established 'Equomed' headquartered in Loretto, Ontario, to help Canadian riders benefit from his many years of experience in Europe, as well as the research he conducted there in rehabilitation training and bio-mechanical techniques , including pre- and post-event therapy around competitions, back flexibility stress tests for horses and muscle re-education through acupressure and condition exercises guided by heart rate measurments.
In 2009, Micheal worked with designer of top quality cold compression therapy boots for human and produced a similar line of boots for horses. "the function of compression and cold on the tendons and joints after hard work and competition can reduce secondary swelling so that there is less chance of injury to the horse" explains Baxter. "The design of the Equomed therapy boots makes my job easier because horses recover faster with less chance of sustained injuries."
Micheal now focuses on teaching his science to the new generation of professionals.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the Jewish resistance that arose within the Warsaw Ghetto in German occupied Poland during World War II, and which opposed Nazi Germany's effort to transport the remaining ghetto population to Treblinka extermination camp.
The insurgency was launched against the Germans on January 18, 1943. The most significant portion of the rebellion took place from April 19 until May 16, 1943, and ended when the poorly armed and supplied resistance was crushed by the German troops under the direct command of Jürgen Stroop. It was the largest single revolt by the Jews during the Holocaust.

Brian Poole working out for Patriots
The Patriots are taking a look at a possible veteran addition to their cornerback group on Wednesday.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said that his client Brian Poole will work out for the Patriots. Poole was released off of the Saints' injured reserve list earlier this month.
Poole signed with the Saints in July after spending the last two seasons with the Jets. He had 103 tackles, three interceptions, an interception return for a touchdown, and a sack in 23 games for the Jets before shoulder and knee injuries ended his 2020 season. He spent his first three seasons with the Falcons.
J.C. Jackson, Jalen Mills, and Jonathan Jones saw the most snaps at cornerback for the Patriots in Week Six. Shaun Wade and JoeJuan Williams were inactive for the overtime loss to the Cowboys.
