Bat Out of Hell is the second album and major-label debut by American rock musician Meat Loaf, as well as being his first collaboration with composer Jim Steinman, released in October 1977 on Cleveland International/Epic Records. It is one of the best-selling albums in the history of recorded music, having sold a total of 43 million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 343 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003.
Its musical style is influenced by Steinman's appreciation of Richard Wagner, Phil Spector, Bruce Springsteen and The Who. Bat Out of Hell has been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America as a platinum album, fourteen times over. The album went on to become one of the most influential and iconic albums of all time and its songs have remained classic rock staples.
This album's title also became the title for two more Meat Loaf albums. Steinman produced the 1993 album, Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell. Desmond Child produced the 2006 album, Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose.
The album developed from a musical, Neverland, a sci-fi update of Peter Pan, which Steinman wrote for a workshop in 1974, and performed at the Kennedy Center Music Theatre Lab in 1977. Steinman and Meat Loaf, who were touring with the National Lampoon show, felt that three songs were "exceptional" and Steinman began to develop them as part of a seven-song set they wanted to record as an album. The three songs were "Bat Out of Hell", "Heaven Can Wait" and "The Formation of the Pack", which was later retitled "All Revved Up with No Place to Go".
Recording started in late 1975 in Bearsville Studios, Woodstock, NY. Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg, the pianist and drummer from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band played on the album, in addition to members of Rundgren's group Utopia: Kasim Sulton, Roger Powell and John "Willie" Wilcox. Edgar Winter played the saxophone on "All Revved Up".Rundgren himself played guitar, including the "motorcycle solo" on "Bat Out of Hell". Both Steinman and Rundgren were influenced by Phil Spector and his "wall of sound". According to Meat Loaf, Rundgren put all the arrangements together because although "Jim could hear all the instruments" in his head, Steinman hummed rather than orchestrating.
Bat Out of Hell was released by Cleveland International on October 21, 1977. Cleveland International's parent label was Epic Records, where almost everyone hated it. Steve Popovich, the head of Cleveland International Records, was relentless in his efforts to get Epic and all of CBS Records and radio on board. In 1993, Steinman reflected that the album is "timeless in that it didn't fit into any trend. It's never been a part of what's going on. You could release that record at any time and it would be out of place."
Response to the album was slow. Steinman asserts that it was "underpromoted", having a reputation of being "damaged goods because it had been walked around to so many places." Due to the enthusiastic response to the music videos from the record Australia and England were the first to develop interest. The BBC television programme Old Grey Whistle Test aired a clip of the live band performing the nine-minute title track. According to Classic Rock, response was so overwhelming, that they screened it again the following week. They later invited the band to perform "Paradise" live. "As a result, in the UK Bat became an unfashionable, uncool, non-radio record that became a 'must-have' for everyone who heard it, whether they 'got' Steinman's unique perspective or not."
The album was not an immediate hit; it was more of a growing one. Bat Out of Hell still sells about 200,000 copies per year and has sold an estimated 43 million copies worldwide, 14 million in the United States alone, over 1.5 million (22 times platinum) albums in Australia (even re-entering charts on June 2007, at #34 on the ARIAs) becoming the second best-selling album there behind John Farnham's Whispering Jack, 24x Platinum.[33] It stayed on the United Kingdom charts for 474 weeks, a feat surpassed only by the 478 weeks of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. In 1989, Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No. 38 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". In 2003, the album was ranked number 343 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2006 it was voted number nine in a poll conducted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to discover Australia's most popular album. In November 2007, Meat Loaf was awarded the Classic Album award in Classic Rock's Classic Rock Roll Of Honour.

President-elect Donald Trump named a fast-food chief executive to be the next labor secretary Thursday. If confirmed, Andrew Puzder ― the head of CKE Restaurants, which owns the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. burger chains ― would be responsible for enforcing the country's labor laws and holding unscrupulous employers accountable.
Puzder apparently has some experience when it comes to wage law enforcement, albeit on the other side. According to a review of Labor Department records, Hardee's Food Systems Inc., a subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, agreed to pay $58,000 in back pay to a group of 456 workers after a wage-and-hour investigation by the agency in 2006 and 2007. At the time, Puzder was head of CKE, which fully controlled Hardee's Food Systems, according to financial disclosure forms.
Records indicate all the money was owed for overtime. Asked for more information on the case, the Labor Department would provide only limited details. The investigation was company-wide, and Hardee's Food Systems had failed to include workers' incentive bonuses when it computed overtime pay, making the payouts smaller than they should have been. The department does not say whether an investigation was initiated by the agency or resulted from a worker's complaint.
A Hardee's spokeswoman referred questions to an official with the Republican National Committee on Friday. That official could not immediately be reached for comment.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, hourly workers are due time-and-a-half pay for any hours they work over 40 in a week. If he becomes labor secretary, one of Puzder's top responsibilities would be enforcing the overtime standard. In addition to the Hardee's Food Systems case, several Hardee's franchisees have been investigated over wage theft allegations in recent years.
In one case in Tennessee, a franchisee agreed to pay 29 workers more than $7,600 in back pay. In a case out of Michigan, a franchisee was found to have shorted seven workers nearly $5,000. And a Missouri franchisee agreed to pay four workers nearly $4,000 for failing to meet the minimum wage. In each of those cases, the franchisee, rather than CKE Restaurants, was held responsible for the violations.
The Hardee's investigations should underscore why advocates for low-wage workers are concerned with Trump's choice. Puzder would be coming to Washington directly from the top of an industry that the Labor Department is responsible for policing. Wage theft is a widely documented problem in the fast-food business, which pays some of the lowest wages in the country. Labor Department investigators often find that restaurants have failed to follow minimum wage and overtime law.
As the nation's workplace watchdog, Puzder would be the top official responsible for potentially suing Hardee's restaurants ― the very franchisees he has worked with as the head of the Hardee's brand ― when they don't pay workers what's due them.
Christine Owens, director of the National Employment Law Project, said a fast-food executive should not be charged with enforcing wage laws. "Puzder will be there for his low-wage-industry CEO buddies, who are now salivating over the prospect of rolling back the Obama administration's efforts to raise pay for low-wage workers, improve workplace safety, and increase corporate accountability for wage theft and other violations," Owens said.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a fast-food brand that hasn't been cited or sued for breaking wage laws over the years. During the 2016 fiscal year alone, the Labor Department found that 10,300 fast-food workers were owed more than $5.4 million in back wages. Investigators discovered violations in 86 percent of their fast-food cases.
As with other companies like McDonald's, CKE Restaurants itself is typically not the target ― its franchisees are. For example, in 2013, a Hardee's franchisee in Michigan agreed to pay nearly $10,000 to a group of workers after being taken to court by the Labor Department. Roughly half of that sum was for wage violations, the other half for damages, according to settlement records.
The franchisee, Ishaan Enterprises, had been paying workers in a way that avoided having to pay them overtime. When workers logged more than 40 hours in a week, they didn't get time-and-a-half pay on those extra hours ― they only got paid "straight time." One worker alone was owed nearly $2,700 in back wages.
Obama's Labor Department has made a point of targeting the fast-food industry for enforcement because they say they find so many violations there. Meanwhile, the Fight for $15, a union-backed campaign to raise the minimum wage and bring collective bargaining to fast food, has brought a host of lawsuits against companies like McDonald's over alleged wage theft and discrimination.
Trump has made clear through his nominations that he wants business-friendly Cabinet members who've criticized Obama's policies. His choice for health secretary, Rep. Tom Price, has fought to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and his pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, has sued the very agency he would be leading.
Labor watchdogs worry that enforcement would be far more lax under someone like Puzder.
Investigations into wage theft or workplace hazards are carried out by career civil servants at the Labor Department, who keep their positions regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican occupies the White House. But, as at all federal agencies, priorities are set by the political appointees at the top. Enforcement can be strong or lax, depending on the administration and its deputies.
Puzder has been a public critic of the labor reforms championed by the Obama administration, including the White House's attempts to raise the minimum wage and grant overtime protections to more salaried workers. Puzder himself has penned opinion pieces and made television appearances criticizing the sitting president's reforms as job killers.
Earlier this year, the Obama administration tried to overhaul the nation's overtime rules to make them more generous to workers. Under the changes, which are currently blocked in court, an additional 4.2 million salaried workers would be guaranteed time-and-a-half pay when they work over 40 hours in a week. The overtime changes would be the most significant labor reform of the Obama era.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal in 2014, Puzder said the rules would hurt the workers they were intended to help, like the fast-food managers who work for Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Many of those managers would be newly entitled to overtime. "Overtime pay has to come from somewhere, most likely from reduced hours, reduced salaries or reduced bonuses," Puzder wrote.

An update on the life of Miss Arrietty G. Teaspoon
FarmWife's solution to this dilemma has been to give her a token handful of timothy pellets to lift her spirits and to take her out on the lawn for a bit of longeing a couple of times a week. Arrietty is borrowing a harness from the equally petite Anna Mule of Vermont, and if you could imagine the cuteness of my little friend spring-sproinging around in it you would probably swoon. It is not hard to go from this to a mental picture of Arrietty pulling a darling little meadowbrook. She is but five years old, sturdy and sound, cooperative and bold: it is not a far-fetched dream.
When FarmWife put Arrietty away in the fall after a couple of trial longeing lessons, they were both very confused. "Why am I at the end of this rope," Miss Teaspoon asked, "and why are you waggling that whip at me?"
"Why aren't you yielding in the fashion of a horse," FarmWife asked, "and why don't you see that I am waggling this whip at you?"
They both ended the lesson calm, content, and at a loss as to how to proceed without either a roundpen or an assistant to play the lead-the-mule-in-circles role. The funny thing is that Arrietty spent the winter thinking on the subject, and this week has twice demonstrated a good mastery of the longeing concept. She can walk, trot, whoa, and reverse on the longeline with reasonable accuracy. She is a bright little mule!
FarmWife was concerned that the absence of Arrietty would make me pace, bray, carry on, and re-injure my still tender forehoof. She needn't have worried: I know the difference between having my girlfriend borrowed for a bit of longeing on the lawn and having my girlfriend borrowed for something more desperate and long-term like a walk to the schoolbus stop. I am a bright little mule, too.
In an unrelated but also happy bit of news, Miss Arrietty G. Teaspoon was the winner of Kira's "Kira's Kause" Facebook photo contest! We are delighted, and glad to see Kira getting the attention she deserves as she saves up for two ACL surgeries. Thanks to all who voted to help Arrietty win!

Turkey, Russia conduct 4th joint patrol in Syria's Idlib
Damascus, April 16 (IANS) Turkish and Russian troops conducted their fourth joint patrol in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib, Turkish Defence Ministry said in a statement.
"The fourth joint Turkish-Russian land patrol was conducted today by air and ground vehicles on M4 motorway in Syria's Idlib province, as part of the earlier Turkey-Russia agreement," Xinhua news agency quoted the statement as saying on Wednesday.
Turkey and Russia inked a deal on March 5 for a temporary ceasefire aiming to calm down escalated tensions between the Syrian government and Turkish troops there.
Russia and Turkey agreed to create a safety corridor 6 km to the north and the south from the strategic M4 highway, which connects Aleppo in northern Syria with Latakia in the northwest.
Moscow and Ankara also agreed on joint patrolling on the highway as part of the efforts to reduce tensions in Idlib.
The agreement came after direct confrontation between Turkey and Syrian forces took place several times in Idlib in early 2020.

New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey isn't in unfamiliar territory at the moment. The 28-year-old right-hander who once was the future of the team's pitching staff is recovering from a shoulder injury that has held him out since mid-June.
If all goes well, he could return to the mound by the end of August where he could basically be going through a tryout.
Not for his place within the Mets rotation that is stacked when healthy, but for another team.
Now that is unfamiliar territory.
Newsday's Marc Carig reported that teams around the league called the Mets to inquire about the injured Harvey, who is 4-3 with a 5.25 ERA in 13 starts this season.
While the Mets weren't interested, it's understandable why teams were calling. Harvey suffered his third major injury in the last four seasons, hampering his progress toward All-Star-caliber ace. When he is healthy, his actions off the field have gotten him into some trouble, including a three-game suspension this year for partying a little too hard on Cinco de Mayo.
The Mets could have been looking to sell him off before he hits free agency after the 2018 season, which could have offered potential suitors an opportunity to acquire him at a much lower price than expected.
But New York looks to have a different idea.
Carig added that the Mets are probably going to keep Harvey through the winter "in hopes" that he puts together a strong first half in 2018.
With his value higher, general manager Sandy Alderson could try and deal him at the trade deadline for a better return.
It's a dangerous game to play, though. Should Harvey suffer another injury or struggle on the mound, the pickings around the trade market could be slim, risking the chance that the Mets get nothing for him and that he walks in free agency.

GoldLink has come through to deliver his new single "White Walls," which arrives complete with some trippy visuals and a hard-hitting beat by Rio. It's certainly an interesting direction for the Washington artist, who slides over the urgent synthesizers with frantic energy.
"My hotel bigger than your house, rode to the bounce, sell 'em by the ounce," he raps, his voice tinged in slight overdrive. "I don't do that, sell by the pound / Sex with me, go four rounds." GoldLink opts to take a laid-back approach insofar as the song's structure is concerned, though that's no to say he's resting on his laurels. Case in point, a dagger aimed firmly at Sheck Wes and tossed with serious intent.
Though Link only delivers a single verse, it's evident that he's in an interesting place creatively. Overall, "White Walls" feels closer to a warm-up for things to come, and one has to wonder if he'll be exploring this sound further on his upcoming album Haram, which is set to land on June 18th. Check out the tracklist for that below, and be sure to sound off with your comments if you're excited for new GoldLink.

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. – The number of grain dust explosions in the United States declined slightly in 2021, although one fatality and five injuries were reported, according to an annual report released by Purdue University on Feb. 15.
Seven dust explosion incidents were reported last year, down from 8 in 2020. The 10-year average for explosions stands at 8, down from 8.1 in 2020.
Kingsly Ambrose, Purdue University associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering and author of the report, said the explosions occurred in one feed mill, one ethanol plant, one grain mill and four grain elevators. The probable ignition sources were identified as one case of a fire, two incidences of smoldering grain, while four cases were from unknown sources. Fuel sources for the explosions were identified as grain dust in five cases, and the remaining two cases were unknown.
The dust explosions occurred in six different states, Mr. Ambrose said, with two occurring in Minnesota, one in Georgia, one in Idaho, one in Indiana, one in Iowa and one in Oregon.
"Grain dust acts as a fuel for these explosions, and all it takes is a small spark for ignition to occur," Mr. Ambrose said. "Controlling grain dust can significantly reduce the possibility and severity of explosions. Simple and effective housekeeping is the first line of defense."
Mr. Ambrose said keeping good maintenance of equipment to ensure proper working order and properly training workers are measures to help eliminate grain dust explosions.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A Vietnam veteran from Weatherford, thanks to doctors at Baylor Scott & White, has finally rid himself of one painful memory of his time at war: a piece of grenade shrapnel that he has unwillingly played host to for 51 years.
"There are things I will never forget. And things that I wished hadn't happened, said Willie Fulfer, 73, of his time in Vietnam as a Marine scout sniper. He was part of a special Combined Action Program (CAP) unit where Marines teamed up with local forces to form a village defense platoon.
But, on a night mission, he remembers vividly the grenade that landed next to him.
"Well it was one our ours, but they threw it," he said of the enemy that found a U.S. grenade and used it against American forces.
He says he curled into a ball, turned away from the grenade, and found out his flak jacket worked. It saved him from nearly every piece of shrapnel.
"26," he said of the pieces of shrapnel they recovered. "We dug 'em out. I mean I took my knife and dug pieces out of the flak jacket."
But piece number 27 snuck under the bottom of the flak jacket and embedded in the muscle an inch from his spine. And that's where military doctors told him it would have to stay.
"They didn't want to operate because it was next to the backbone," he said. "Nothing I can do about it. You just have to live with it. Just kind of like a Marine, you suck it up and go on."
And so, he did, for 51 years. Most of those years, he lived in pain and on disability.
"I came back a very upset, angry person," he said of the not unusual impact the Vietnam War had on Marines and soldiers like himself.
Until a trip to Baylor Scott & White All Saints in Fort Worth, where he met Dr. Atif Haque.
"Yeah it was really like a needle in a haystack," Haque said.
He needed to operate on a bulging disc in Willie's lower back. The pain had become intense and, with shooting pains down one leg, he was having trouble walking on his own. And, while he was in the area, so to speak, Dr. Haque decided it was worth the risk to remove the 51-year-old rusted, half-pea-sized passenger too.
"What I think is improving his situation is we took the herniated disc out. This is more of, I don't know, a sentimental kind of thing to have this friend of 51 years out, you know," said Haque.
The successful surgery happened in late May. Now, for the first time in years, Willie can walk unassisted, unless of course he chooses to hold hands with his wife at the same time as he did outside Baylor Scott & White All Saints after a recent checkup.
"I must commend the hospital," he said. "They were all professional and took very good care of me."
As for that piece of that grenade, he plans to put it in a display case next to his Purple Heart at home in Weatherford.
"Well it's part of me, what I went through. I can look at it and say that caused me a lot of pain," he said with a relieved laugh.
We met, by the way, in a hospital courtyard called the Garden of Hope. Fitting, perhaps, since hope is exactly what the hospital gave him by removing one painful memory.
"But we served. I guess if young enough, and called upon again, I would do the same thing. Just a glutton for punishment I guess," Willie said as he laughed again.
Although, he is glad that some of those 51 years of punishment can spend its time sitting on a shelf instead.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Belfer Center for Science & International Affairs, Harvard University
Postdoctoral Fellow, Perry World House, University of Pennsylvania
Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University and a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my PhD in Political Science and Peace Studies in the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame.
My research examines the causes and downstream consequences of political violence. In my dissertation, Politics after Autonomy: Repression, Rebellion, and Revision, I investigate the conditions under which territorial autonomy impacts state violence against civilians, and the broader implications civilian-centered violence has for power relations and security. Another facet of my research investigates the politics of global environmental crises and how they intersect with violent conflict and peace. I examine how climate change and environmental shocks shape the dynamics of political violence through channels such as migration, as well as how environmental cooperation is achieved in the context of volatility and fragility. My projects leverage mixed methods for evidentiary rigor, with a particular emphasis on advanced statistical techniques. I am particularly interested in developing original cross-national datasets (such as the Territorial Autonomy Dataset and Environmental Displacement Dataset) that open new avenues for analyzing urgent global challenges.
My projects have received support from the International Peace Research Initiative, Institute for Social Research, the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, the Klau Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the Environmental Change Initiative, among others. I have published articles in Climatic Change and Natural Hazards Review, and I currently have articles under review in Journal of Peace Research (R&R), Global Environmental Politics (forthcoming), and Climate Policy (forthcoming).
I received my MA in International Peace and Conflict Resolution from American University's School of International Service and my BS in Economics and International Affairs from Georgia Tech. Before doctoral study, I worked as a researcher at the United States Institute of Peace. When I am not teaching or doing research, I prefer to spend my time outdoors, ideally hiking or playing sports, especially soccer and badminton. A few times a week, I coach a youth girls soccer team. I'm also an avid animal lover and volunteer with the LifeLine Animal Project.

by He Shaoji (1799–1873)
China, Qing dynasty, ca. 1860–61
Hanging scroll; ink on paper
Recognized for his clerical and running scripts, He Shaoji is one of the leading scholars and calligraphers of the nineteenth century who derived inspiration from studying ancient writing. Here he briefly copied a short section of a stone stele that was erected in 164 ce in memory of the scholar-official Kong Zhou (103–163), who descended from the philosopher Confucius through nineteen generations. This portion appears on the back of the original stele, where the names and birthplaces of Kong Zhou's followers are recorded. The squat, rectangular structure of the individual characters, with their emphatic horizontal strokes, elongated diagonal strokes, and occasional heavy accents, distinguishes clerical script of the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE), while the randomly spaced blobs of ink intentionally resemble the eroded stone of the stele. The rightward slant in the structure of each character is a hallmark of He's personal style of clerical script.

Damage Prevention: Communication Spotlight
JULIE, Inc., the one-call system for Illinois, facilitated a series of Utility Coordination Meetings (UCMs) across the state in February where facility owners
and other stakeholders could share information about upcoming projects.
The idea for the UCMs came from several meetings, known as the Locate Summit, which were organized last year to bring major utilities, municipalities and other key stakeholders together to talk about the uncharacteristic volatility in locate requests. During those Summit meetings, JULIE identified the counties with the highest locate volume volatility for 2019, and talked about steps to help mitigate the potential for volatility in 2020 and beyond. The Locate Summit members recommended hosting UCMs with the purpose of compiling a list of reported major projects to assist stakeholders in forecasting and planning to accommodate projected workload.

the idea that lifting lighter weights for more reps does a better job of increasing muscular endurance, lighter weights will not help you "tone" better than heavy weights.
In fact, heavier weights build the strength of your muscles (and the size to a small degree—no Hulk action here), thereby helping to increase your metabolism and burn fat. Lifting heavier weights with fewer reps (eight to 12 on average) and working until you're fatigued is more effective at helping you reach your toning goals than lifting lighter weights. Not to mention that it's more time-efficient, too!
Myth #2: Building muscle and bulking up are one and the same.
The Truth: If you've been avoiding weights because you think that building muscle means that you'll bulk up, think again. When you lift weights that are challenging, you actually create micro-tears in the muscle fibers. These tears are then repaired by the body (this is where soreness comes from!) and in that process, the muscle becomes stronger and a little bit bigger.
However, because muscle tissue is denser than fat, adding a little bit more muscle to your body and decreasing your fat actually makes you look leaner—not bigger. To really bulk up, you have to really work with that goal in mind. Bodybuilders spend hours and hours in the gym lifting extremely heavy weights, along with eating a very strict diet that promotes muscle gain. The average person's workout and diet—especially a calorie-controlled diet—doesn't result in the same effects.
Myth #3: Lifting light weights won't help you get stronger.
The Truth: When it comes to lifting weights, the secret to really getting stronger isn't about how much weight you're lifting. Instead, it's all about working your muscle to fatigue where you literally cannot lift the weight for another repetition. A recent study that proved this found that even when subjects lifted lighter weights, they added as much muscle as those lifting heavy weights. However, the time it takes to reach fatigue with light weights is much longer than the time it takes to reach fatigue with heavier weights. So, if you're like most people and extra time is a luxury, it makes more sense to go heavy and then go home!
Myth #4: Women and men should lift weights differently.
The Truth: I see this one all the time at the gym. It's pretty common to see women lift three to five-pound dumbbells to do biceps curls while men pick up the 20-pounders to do the same exercise. Although men are genetically stronger than women, they aren't that much stronger.
Second, most women tend to stick to the weight machines or basic leg-work that target the rear end and abs (women's "vanity" muscles), while the guys at the gym are more likely to be seen working out with free weights or using barbells and—most often—focusing on their vanity muscles: the biceps and chest.
Obviously, gender differences exist and everyone has different goals (as we discussed in the beginning). But if you really want to lose weight and get lean—no matter if you call that toning or bulking—people of both genders should have a strength-training plan in place that works every major muscle in the body at least eight to 12 times, using a weight that is heavy enough that the last two repetitions are darn hard to lift. Only then is the body challenged enough to change, grow and adapt, making you stronger and leaner no matter if you're male or female. Lifting this way is also a great way to lose weight.
Myth #5: Certain forms of exercise build long, lean muscles.
The Truth: Many forms of exercise claim to lengthen the muscles or develop "lean" muscles, not bulky ones. But here's a truth that may be shocking to some: To put it another way, no form of exercise makes muscles "longer" because your muscles do not—and will not—respond to exercise by getting longer. It's just not how they work. Muscles are a certain length because they attach to your bones. A wide variety of movements and exercises can help you strengthen your muscles without necessarily making them bigger. In fact, you can develop a lot of muscular strength without your muscles ever increasing in size.
That said, exercises such as yoga, Pilates, dance and barre classes can help increase your flexibility (improving your range of motion at certain joints) and your posture, which can give you the illusion of feeling and looking longer or taller. But lengthening? Not possible. Claims like these are just trying to appeal to people who fear bulking up.

Balls Wood and Hertford Heath
It's a quiet time of year for birds so over three visits between the 18th and 22nd July I have spent some time at Balls Wood and Hertford Heath near Hertford, looking for Butterflies and Dragonflies. The recent hot spell ensured there was lots of action! Starting with Dragonflies and Damselflies I managed to see 10 species and the ponds on the Heath are a particularly good place. Here are some pictures of nine species with the missing one being Common Blue Damselfly.
Female Black-tailed Skimmer
Male Southern Hawker
Male Banded Demoiselle
Brown Hawker
Common Darter

A fairly widespread day flying Moth is the Silver Y taken here from below.
Balls Wood is great for other species including Hoverflies. The one below is a male Myathropa florea.
Another good species here is the Black & Yellow Longhorn Beetle, Rutpela maculata.
And finally on to the Butterflies! A total of 18 species in all and I managed to photograph many of them including my first ever Purple Emperor, which was sadly some distance away. Other major highlights were Purple Hairstreaks, Silver Washed Fritillary and White Admiral.

Poulter Guise is a ghost hunting adventure for teens! Tempers flare at Poulter Middle School when random pranks start to happen. All privileges are suspended until the culprits are caught. Students will have to overcome their differences to team up and solve the mystery. Is the prankster the one who everyone suspects or is it someone or something more sinister and more frightening? This hilarious play deals with prejudice and stereotypes and how these might be overcome through understanding and cooperation.
Elizabeth Rapoza first began writing plays for and with children over 30 years ago. All of Liz Rapoza's plays are kid and audience tested, some many times over. Her youth play, "Perstephanie Goes Underground" won the Boston Public Schools Short Play Development Award. Her adult radio comedy "The Amazing Adventures of Pajamazon" was a winner in Mae West Fest of Seattle's search for the Ultimate Female Protagonist. Her plays have also been performed at such venues as SlamBoston and the Factory Theater Boston. In addition, Liz is also a professional actor, dancer, musician, vocalist, puppeteer/puppet constructor and costumer. She has taught college theater courses since 2003. Liz currently teaches at Cape Cod Community College and the Zeiterion Theater, New Bedford, Ma.
Excerpt from the play:
LUCREZIA (f) Goth girl
TUESDAY (f) Another Goth girl
MELISSA (f) Drama queen
DANIELLE (f) Rich snob
MINERVA (f) Brainiac
SHANTAY (f) Hip hop girl
SHEENA (f) Another hip hop girl
KANDY (f) Class clown
PENNY (f) Shy girl
ESME (f) A recent immigrant
TANYA (f) An exchange student from Great Britain
JOSH (m) Skateboard dude
DEREK (m) Bully and a jock
WILLIAM (m) Technowizard brainiac
TEACHER (m or f)
This play is set in a school hallway and then classroom. In the original performance, we had a giant backdrop of a school hallway with lockers. Costumes are primarily normal kid's clothes appropriate to their character stereotype. This is a good exercise for students as it shows how much we judge people by their appearance. Spirit Dancers need a loose fitting garment to cover their clothes. Props include: backpacks, books, a copy of The Hobbit, a skateboard, ruler, dictionary, cell phones and ghost hunter gadgets. One character has a coat that gets destroyed. I used a washable coat (my own) and a paint that washed out. The play includes a shamanic scene in which the actors wear animal masks. Our students created these themselves, however, there are inexpensive latex versions available if time is limited. There are also a variety of sound effects required. These can be prerecorded or performed live.
* In the first scene, all of the students except Lucrezia, Tuesday and Josh carry books or book bags. Josh carries on a skateboard.
* We made the immigrant student from a non-existent, Slavic sounding country. This can be changed to reflect the student actor playing the role or regional sensitivities.
(A row of lockers in the school hallway at the start of the school day)
(MINERVA and KANDY enter and go to their lockers)
Wow, thanks, (pointedly, intending insult) Minerva Nerva Nerve Nerve.
Don't call me Nerve. (aside to audience) The nerve!
Soorrrry. Thank you, Minerva, for letting me borrow your copy of The Hobbit. The stupid book report is due tomorrow.
(Rummaging in her locker, looking for the book) Nothing like waiting until the last minute, Kandy.
It's not my fault! Someone stole mine.
You sure you weren't just careless and lost it? (Still rummaging) Drat! Where is it? It was here.
Awww…were you careless and lost it? Tsk tsk. That's like, four people in the class who've lost that book now. Penny lost hers and Danielle lost hers and Josh lost his. The teacher is gonna go ballistic tomorrow when she tries to collect the books and sees how many are missing.
(Gives up looking for the book) Sorry. I can't find it. Try the library.
Skip it. No biggie. I saw the movie.
(PENNY enters and goes straight to her locker without looking at or acknowledging the other 2 girls)
Hey Penny. What's up? (No response) Good morning?
(PENNY looks at KANDY apprehensively, turns back to her locker and takes out a copy of The Hobbit)
(KANDY and MINERVA look at one another and shrug)
(In a stage whisper to MINERVA) I thought she lost her copy of the book.
(Sauntering over to PENNY, friendly) Oh! I see you found your copy of The Hobbit. Lucky you. Now mine is lost.
(Clutching the book tightly to her chest) What do you mean? (Looks wildly at KANDY and MINERVA) You think I took yours, don't you? You think I stole it!
No. Of course not…
Well I didn't! I bought a new one.
(Taking the book from PENNY and holding it over her head as PENNY jumps up and down trying to catch it) Looks pretty beat up for new book.
(Grabs the book back) I bought it used at the library for a quarter. (She turns and scurries down the hallway, exiting)
(Looking after PENNY, shaking her head) Dude, that girl is so weird. What is with her?
Don't call me "Dude". I'm not a "dude". (Pause) Penny's okay. She's just wicked shy.
No, seriously! Like, where did she come from? Does anyone know anything about her? Do you think she would, like, steal your book?
I don't think so. (Pause) You know, they do sell used books at the library for a quarter. I buy them all the time. I've even gotten a bunch of first edition hardcovers there. OMG! Last week a got a first edition of The Gulag Archipelago, you know, by Alexander Solzhenitsyn…
(Backing away, exiting) Oh, really? That's fascinating. (Aside to audience) Not! (Exits)
(MINERVA sighs and also exits)
(ESME and TANYA enter. ESME is obviously upset)
(Comforting ESME) I just can't believe somebody would do that! I mean, why on earth would they?
I don't know. I think some Americans are bad people. They hate us.
They don't hate us. They're just as nasty and unpleasant to each other.
They say they hate us because we are not Americans. For them, this is all the reason they need. (She turns to show the audience a giant ink stain or paint blotch on the back of her coat) Look! This is the only winter coat I brought to America, and now it is ruined.

In The Middle (a poem)A Poem by Joshua Donahue
a poem about being centered and being the middle of Earth's beauty
In The Middle (a poem)
I am standing here
Beside a lonesome tree
In the middle of a beautiful scene
The ground is rich in nutrients, nourished by a perfect tone of green grass
Fields of it reaching out miles upon end
An eagle flies overhead, letting loose a beautiful cacophony
In the baby blue sky with wispy, white clouds hovering, making shapes of all sorts
The sun shines brightly, lighting everything up
Feeding it rich light and sprouting wonderful scenes
I can feel the wind brush against my skin, painting it with coolness
It visibly breezes against the tree as well, giving him a little shudder
Together we are in the middle
In the middle of all great things that Mother Earth has to offer
Resting in her love and care
Right here
In the middle

Dozens of people were rescued or evacuated after heavy rain brought by the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred triggered severe flash flooding in parts of New York State. Flooding was also reported in parts of Massachusetts, where 2 people were rescued.
Flooding damaged an estimated 120 homes in Steuben County where stretches of road were destroyed or covered in debris. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo declared a state of emergency for Steuben County on 18 August.
Affected areas include the towns of West Union, Woodhull, Troupsburg, Tuscarora, Greenwood, Canisteo, Hornellsville, Jasper, and Addison, where 8 people were rescued from flooded homes. Shelters were set up in Corning and Canisteo to house evacuees.
In a statement, Governor Cuomo said, ""We're declaring a state of emergency in Steuben County as State agencies and all available resources remain on the ground responding to the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred, and we continue to assist local partners helping communities recover in affected areas."
A train derailed at Canisteo due to washout from flash flooding. The train company Norfolk Southern said the single main line was blocked as a result, causing delays. No injuries were reported.
National Weather Service Binghamton, New York, recorded 7.42 inches (188.47mm) of rain in the town of Prattsburg, Steuben County, in 72 hours to 19 August.
The Tuscarora Creek at South Addison in Steuben county reached 14.16 feet during the evening of 18 August, beating the previous record high of 13.54 feet set in 2004. Major Flood Stage here is 13 feet.
More severe weather is likely for the state as Tropical Storm Henri heads up the coast. Hurricane Watches, Tropical Storm Watches and Storm Surge Watches have been issued for coastal locations, mainly for Long Island and coastal Connecticut.
Flooding also affected areas of Massachusetts. Two people were recued from a stranded vehicle in Springfield, while flood water on roads was so dep in Worcester cars were almost submerged. Media reported flooding in other areas of the state including Auburn, Framingham, Peabody and Westborough.
A car was swept away by floods in Newton causing concern for the Newton Fire Department. Fire crews recovered the vehicle which was empty and no injuries were reported.
North Carolina
A state of emergency was also issued for 8 counties in North Carolina after heavy rain brought by Tropical Storm Fred caused severe flooding which left dozens of people missing or unaccounted for.

IPhone: the remote to do everything
This applies, for example Beacon Griffin (69 €), which allows using an application to control your TV, your digital receiver, stereo, and much, much more ... But over time, there are more unusual objects. It started probably last year with the AR Drone where terminals iOS served quadricopter a remote radio-controlled (read: Testing the AR. Drone).
It is unclear whether the object was a commercial success, but he gave some ideas.Even if the object is much more conventional Dexim recently presented AppSpeed Monster Truck, a remote-controlled truck that instead of being supplied with a remote control includes a dongle that plugs into a terminal iOS (read: When the iPhone truck driver). And sooner or later, this could also apply to large cars. In the world of Frankfurt, Valeo has demonstrated Park4U, a system to park your car for you. You leave your vehicle, you Draw your iPhone and you tell your car where you park.
This technology is already working with some manufacturers (Audi, Ford, Volkswagen), but the iPhone application allows for parking is not available and had never been presented. Unfortunately, the slots are not supported! Some have found uses far less futile. Thus, the German company operates the iPhone as a remote control for ultra-sophisticated KUKA KR 6, an industrial robot.The video is quite impressive. The application on the iPhone is not just to drive the vehicle (using the accelerometer), it also offers the ability to program it.
It's not just that the idea of iOS any control is gaining ground. Recently, at IFA, LG introduced a system for Android to any drive your appliances: washing machine, oven and vacuum cleaner robot.All this only works with LG devices. Like what, Apple is not the only one who understood the concept of ecosystem ...

Measuring your horse is important for several reasons. Firstly, measurements of your horse's height and weight will help you to plan an appropriate diet and exercise regimen. This also applies to any medicine your horse might need to take.
Knowing a horse's height and weight is also necessary when deciding whether you can safely ride them. This is information you'll need to have on hand if you're planning on selling or rehoming your horse at any point in the future.
Read on to find out how to accurately measure the height, body length, heart girth, and weight of your horse in the correct units of measurement.
Units Of Measurement For Horses
Traditionally, horses' heights are measured in units of measurement called hands. This unit of measurement is no longer used by the International Federation of Equestrian Sports,
but it's still in use almost all over the world with the exception of Europe, where centimeters and meters are the standard units for horse measurements.
One hand is equivalent to four inches. This means that you can also easily measure your horse's height in inches and translate the measurement to hands. For example, a horse that is 60 inches in height is 15 hands tall.
Measuring A Horse's Height
One of the most important measurements you will take of your horse is its height.
To start, you'll need to gather all the essential tools. You can use a simple tape measure, but alternatively, there are specific horse height measuring tapes available on the market that double as weight measurement tapes.
You can also find horse height sticks but these are much more expensive, although they're definitely the quickest to use.
Make sure that your horse is standing on a level surface before you take the height measurement. They should be standing square, with their front and back legs level with each other. If possible, have someone hold onto your horse's lead rope while you measure them, just in case something spooks them.
Now you're ready to take the height measurement. You'll need to measure from the ground next to one of your horse's hooves up to the withers. The withers is the point at the base of your horse's neck, and it's the highest point that stays consistent even when the horse lowers its head.
If you want to be extra sure that your measurement is accurate, lay a straight, lightweight object across the horse's withers and take your measurement at the point where the tape or stick meets it at a right angle.
Measuring A Horse's Body Length
While you're taking your horse's height, it's a good time to measure their body length as well. You can actually use the body length measurement, combined with other measurements, to calculate your horse's weight if you don't have large veterinary scales available to you.
Take your tape measure and lay it as flat as you can against your horse's body, from the front of their shoulder to the furthest point of their hip.
The line formed by the tape measure should be slightly diagonal, pointing upwards at your horse's hip and downward at the shoulder. You should take this measurement in inches.
Measuring A Horse's Heart Girth
The heart girth is another measurement you will need if you have to calculate your horse's weight without scales. This measurement goes from the base of the withers and around the horse's body, right behind the front legs.
It helps if you can have someone standing on the other side of the horse to pass you the measuring tape under the horse's belly to avoid you having to reach too far.
Measuring A Horse's Weight
In theory, weighing a horse should be easy if you have large enough scales. However, getting a pair of scales large enough to weigh a horse simply isn't feasible for most people.
Luckily, there is a simple calculation you can do using your horse's heart girth and body length that will give you an approximate indication of the horse's weight.
First, multiply your horse's heart girth by itself. If a horse's heart girth is 70 inches, multiply 70 by 70, resulting in 4,900.
Then, take the product of the previous calculation and multiply it by the horse's body length. If the body is 60 inches, do 4,900 x 60 = 249,000.
Divide the last number by 300. So, in our example, 249,000 / 300 = 980. You then need to add 50 to this. 980 + 50 = 1,030. The horse's weight, in this case, would be 1,030 lbs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Hands Is The Minimum For A Horse?
A horse can only be considered a horse if it is at least 14.5 hands tall, measured from the ground to its withers. If it is smaller than 14.5 hands, it is technically a pony.
Why Do We Measure Horses In Hands?
The hands unit of measurement is thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt when traders needed to measure how tall their horses were before selling them. The most convenient tools for measuring were their own hands, so that is what they used.
What Is The Healthy Weight Limit For A Horse?
There is no one healthy weight limit for a horse because calculating a healthy weight range relies heavily on the height of the horse. A taller horse can be healthy at a heavier weight than a shorter horse.
A healthy weight for a horse, depending on their height, can be anywhere between 900 and 2,000 lbs.
Final Thoughts
Using the methods provided above, you can easily get accurate measurements and reliable estimations of your horse's height, heart girth, body length, and weight.
To measure your horse's height, measure from the ground at its front foot up to the withers. For the body length, measure from the front shoulder to the hip.
The heart girth is determined by measuring from the back of the withers around the horse's body behind the front legs.
Remember, if you don't have veterinary scales, you can calculate an estimate of your horse's weight by multiplying the heart girth by itself, multiplying the result by the body length, dividing by 300, and adding 50.

Steps to Overcoming Burnout
Many times when we feel burnout, the last thing we want to do is combat the issue head-on. This is due to the fact that burnout typically comes from a high-stress situation in which we feel numbed from the amount of work that's on our plate. Yet when we fail to view our health and wellbeing as the number one priority, burnout has the potential to send us into a downward spiral emotionally, physically and spiritually, and wreak havoc on key pillars of our lives like family, and community.
A recent MindBody article explains how we get burnt out:
"Ironically, for many of us, burnout starts with success. We get promotions. Our bank account numbers go up. We get a big following on social media. This success can be tricky because it causes us to do more and more to pursue greater success. In our attempt to constantly grow, we work harder.
For other people, burnout may stem from focusing solely on caring for family members—especially aging or ill parents—without caring for themselves.
As it turns out, the price for pushing yourself too hard—whether you're trying to achieve wealth, a promotion, social status, a happier family, or even a better world—is disconnecting from yourself. As you get more and more disconnected, you become more robotic and less aware of the choices you're making, and this accelerates your spiral into burnout."
If you're feeling stuck in autopilot, overwhelmed by your daily life, and disconnected from yourself and others, you are likely experiencing burnout. The good news is, there are steps that you can take right now to heal from burnout and turn things around.
First, working on changing your mindset with a morning ritual, meditation practice, or gentle movement routine like yoga can help you gain clarity and control.
Externally, surrounding yourself with uplifting, supportive people can protect you from burnout and re-energize you. On the other hand, toxic, depleting people will drain your battery even more.
Outdoor therapy, consisting of sunlight, greenery, and water, is known to increase not just vitamin D, but your body's level of nitric oxide, which increases blood flow, optimizes the immune system and serves as a signaling molecule for the brain. Forest bathing, a practice of simply being outside and nature, is now gaining popularity as it is shown to positively affect our moods, and make us happier, more productive and healthier human beings.
Satisfying the innate human craving for touch is also a productive way to combat burnout, per MindBodyGreen.
"These days, many of us are 'touch-deprived.' This contributes to burnout because stimulating our touch receptors calms us, lowers our blood pressure, and reduces our levels of the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, it raises our levels of oxytocin, a hormone that helps us to bond with other people."
Lastly, nourishing yourself with healthy foods, more sleep, and essential nutrients, will help boost your immune system, reduce stress, optimize your brain functioning, and as a result, heal you from burnout. Ultimately, it's important to go easy on yourself and avoid strict diets, harsh cleanses, or challenging workouts.
Most importantly, be kind to yourself and pay attention to what you need, instead of numbing yourself with things that do not serve you. You'll be back to your thriving self before you know it.

Comprehensive Examination of the Theory with Practical Tools
The Power of Magnetic Leadership: It's Time to Get R.E.A.L.
April, 2013
"While some people may be more natural leaders than others, some of the best leaders I have worked with are men and women who went beyond cultivating their own leadership skills and instead created a culture of leadership in their organizations", write president and founder of Loyalty Factor, Dianne Durkin, in her very concise and hands on book The Power of Magnetic Leadership: It's Time to Get R.E.A.L.. The author describes how the concept of magnetic leadership will transform an organizational culture, engage and excite employees, and enhance company performance. For me, the power of the book is how Dianne Durkin combines a comprehensive examination of the theory and role of leadership, with the practical tools and skills needed to develop both personal and organizational leadership capabilities. The book examines the fresh ground of transforming a company culture into one of organizational leadership. Along with presenting this overarching concept as a viable alternative to traditional leadership models, the book includes the practices that create the conditions to develop that vast leadership culture."

The non-toxic enzymic A subunit of Shiga toxin 1 (StxA1) reduces expression and replication of the bovine retroviruses, bovine leukemia virus and bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV). Here, the impact of StxA1 on representative positive and negative stranded RNA viruses was compared. BIV and equine infectious anemia virus were sensitive to picomolar concentrations of StxA1 while poliovirus, rhinovirus, and vesicular stomatitis virus were only marginally sensitive to nanomolar concentrations of toxin. Thus, the length of the reproductive cycle and/or other factors, but not viral encapsulation may play a role in determining sensitivity to StxA1. The effects of StxA1 at concentrations from 0.01 to 10 μg/ml on the most sensitive virus (BIV-infected cultures of fetal bovine lung cells) were analyzed by electron microscopy 48 h post challenge. Cells treated with 0.1 μg StxA1/ml or higher toxin concentrations were similar in appearance and showed progressively fewer viral factories with increasing toxin concentration. However, cells treated with 0.01 μg/ml StxA1 had a radically different appearance, exhibiting smooth cell membranes and high vacuolization. These results showed that complex retroviruses were more sensitive to StxA1 than single-stranded RNA viruses and that StxA1 interfered with retroviral replication in a concentration-dependent manner.
