Rhino Dilemma – what is the answer?
Perhaps we need a radical new approach – and you may not like this, as it goes against the grain of what you have been preaching – BUT for a moment agree with me that the conventional approaches are clearly not working and there is no argument about this – and our The Western conservation attitudes ARE BUSY pushing the Rhino towards extinction.
BUT, for a moment lets forget about rhino's, or elephants, or even Africa for that matter:
Imagine that (for want of a better example) Citrus trees were endangered. And despite scientific proof to the contrary there are still lots of people like you and I that wrongly believe that large doses of Vit C can stave off colds and 'flu. So Vit C (in this hypothetical situation) is very expensive and it's trade has been curtailed or even banned in some countries. And this skyrocketing price causes illegal harvesting of the trees which are processed in large vats and their Vit C is extracted – and as a result the tree numbers are dwindling and soon will be extinct. A few astute businessmen know this and are paying silly prices and are hoarding Vit C because as soon as the trees are extinct they will be sitting on a gold mine. Yet we have a few conservation organisations that have collected lots of Vit C in strongrooms but keep it locked up because a Rich-country dominated organisation (them having squandered all their trees decades ago) have deemed illegal trade illegal.
All because a some people wrongly believe that large doses of Vit C will stave off colds and 'flu
We need a multi-pronged approach to solve this problem and we need to ignore the west and come up with an African solution:
Anti poaching – the problem with this is as long as there are poor people in Africa there will be both an incentive and avenues for both subsistence and commercial poaching – rather like the poor fellow stealing a rabbit to feed his family and ending up banished to Australia – it's a survival instinct combined with the opportunistic predatory human nature. Shooting poor people (as advocated by many of the white's on the internet) who are poaching rhino horns for a few thousand rands will only turn the poor masses against conservation and against those who are trying to protect wild animals – "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU RHINOS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN POOR AFRICANS – KILL THEM ALL!!" – Rather give them a TANGIBLE benefit that is of a higher and more sustainable value! Also – just think of the logistics and costs involved in protecting 20,000 rhino's in South Africa. This will cost billions – not just millions! (BTW do the math – the poachers have harvested much less than 25% of the rhino's annual population growth to date!) (note approx 21,000 rhino – both species – in South Africa in 2009 growing at 5% pa before poaching – approx 1,050 increase pa. poaching is heading towards 200-250 this year, so poaching (upper end) is 1.2% of the population or 24% of annual increment)
Summary: Anti-poaching as a sole solution will only keep the bunny huggers happy and stands a good chance of driving the animals towards extinction at a faster rate as it will simultaneously drive up horn values as populations begin to decline.
Education – yes – both at source and destination – now this is something we can work with – and it worked in Yemen during their oil boom but remember you are talking about peoples health – a commodity more valued by people than anything else, so this will not be an easy option – it will be time consuming and costly both in monetary terms and resources.
but IT THE BEST LONG TERM SOLUTION. But what happens if we don't have a long term – as in the case of the African rhino species
The driving force behind this acceleration in destruction is purely $$ a high value at retail – street level- and the fact that it is perceived to be a finite resource.
The same argument can be applied to the trade in illegal drugs – look at what is happening today in Mexico and with the S. American drug cartels. Look at what happened during Christian fundementalism-driven Prohibition in the 1920's in the USA – lots of people died and Bugsy Malone and Al Capone made millions – and people still got drunk! Even look at the problem with Abalone poaching in South Africa – a state owned resource!
If we could bring that price down and legalise the trade we can control it from cradle to grave
We are sitting on a sustainable harvestable resource, with many millions in value in protected vaults and on live animals. The government of SA can easily lay claim to all rhino horns (both live and dead) For once lets put our emotions aside and realise that as a short term solution we NEED to tamper with the price mechanism wherever the horns are being sold. And in the process tell CITES to get lost – they have not saved anything and dictate to Africa generally (like the West) in a most patronising manner. And, as we're doing this, lets use the bulk of our resources, both money and manpower for education through massive marketing and advertising schemes – use Asian celebrities if we need to and SHRINK the demand this way by applying a levy on sales (example cigarette sales paying for health warnings).
If you don't change anything, then nothing changes. Madness can be defined as – doing the same thing and expecting the result to change. For close to 100 years we have tried to stop poaching – it did not work when Africa had 500 million people, why will it work now when it has close to 1 billion people. Facts are facts – Asian buyers are prepared to pay R19,000/kg for horn, hundreds of millions of Africans are starving – sounds like selling horn legally is the closest thing we have to a logical solution – irrespective of your emotional perspective. The trend is not in favour of more conventional logic (kill the poacher) being applied. It is not an accident that South Africa has the most rhino, the solution in South Africa has been private ownership and almost free trade in rhino within the country. Now lets extend the ONLY example of an increasing and financially valuable rhino population to global thinking. Quick and dirty estimates would value the rhino herd in South Africa at R2.1 to 2.5 billion. What is the real provable value of a live rhino in Kenya – you cannot tell me, neither can their neighbours – but the poacher can tell you its value – DEAD.

Two men are walking down Broughton Street in Edinburgh after
a big night oot in the toon
One of the men, Jeem, says to his pal, " I fancy a poke of chips, Tam"
"Aye", says Tam, "Gonnay go get us a poke of chips then...wi' salt n' sauce"
"Aye, aw'right then ma man, gie us a golden minute"
Jeem scoots off to the Rapido Chip Bar and waits in line, swaying ever so slightly.
The warm fug of chips'n' vinegary sauce waft over him.
30 minutes later (it was a long queue) Jeem and Tam are opening a steaming, big poke of chips.
"Braw, man - jist what eh needed the noo, eh?" said Tam, happily.
He took one solid, golden, steaming chip out of the brown paper bag, held it up to Tam's face and exclaimed:
" Where's ma effing sauce, man??? Eh?"

Standish, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/06/2015 -- Magline assisted the Standish-Sterling Community Schools with the High School's robotics program. The FIRST program is dedicated to growing the next generation of engineers and technologists through a robotics competition. The designing, fabricating, and programming of the robot ignites in high school students a passion for STEM careers. Working side-by-side with engineers within the manufacturing industry, students have the chance to try every aspect of engineering – mechanical design, CAD work, electrical, and programming.
James Gage, Magline's Plant Manager shared, "Having the opportunity to work with, and be part of the FIRST program was exciting and a very educational experience. To see these young minds transform a kit of parts into a fully functional robot in 6 weeks is amazing. From programming to CAD work, from electrical to mechanic, these kids are working together to build a future and gaining a wonderful set of skills that are truly needed in the marketplace today. We look forward in continuing to support the FIRST program and the Standish Sterling High School and hope to bring some of this talent to our own company in the near future."
Magline made a monetary donation to Standish-Sterling Schools to assist with the robotics event as well as have two employees as judges for the event. Magline Vice Chairman, D. Brian Law, congratulated the student teams for their accomplishments last year and for being chosen this year to host the first robotics district event held last week.
The high school students are involved with building their own workable robot and then enter various competitions throughout the state trying to reach a State and possibly National level recognition. This year the theme for the competition is "Recycle Rush" where they are tasked with getting their robot to pick up containers and barrels and place them into a designated scoring zone with limited time competing simultaneously with other teams. Magline invited the team to bring their robot in for a demonstration that will give them an opportunity to work around an audience before their competition.

Rather than unsubscribing from the lists of e-mailers from whom they no longer want to hear, consumers say they have dramatically increased their use of the "this is spam" button, according to a recent survey by Return Path.
Almost 34% of consumers in a postholiday survey said they dealt with increased volume in their inboxes by reporting e-mail they no longer want as spam to their Internet service providers. This is up from 23.4% the previous year, according to the New York-based e-mail deliverability consultancy.
"This is not good news for marketers," says Stephanie Miller, Return Path's vice president, strategic services. "It's really easy to report somebody as junk or spam, so the bar is higher for marketers to be really relevant."
Being reported as spam increases the likelihood that a company's e-mail will be filtered, whether it is permission-based or not. According to Miller, seven complaints per 1,000 e-mails can get a sender blocked from AOL's servers. "That's less than 1% and you can get blocked," she says.
Miller says that obviously relevancy varies from person to person but that "marketers need to use the data they have in order to make better decisions about what to send and when to send it."
She also warns against abusing permission: "If you're sending an expectation that you're going to send a weekly e-mail, and then suddenly during the holidays you start sending a daily e-mail, you're very likely going to get reported as a spammer."
In other findings, consumers' past experience with the sender is by far the number-one influencer over whether they'll open an e-mail, according to Return Path. More than 60% of the consumers surveyed said that knowing and trusting the sender was a key factor in determining if they would open an e-mail. Also, 48% of those surveyed said they opened electronic communications from companies that had previously sent e-mail they thought was valuable.
Just over half of those surveyed said they took advantage of e-mail offers during the holidays.

Décollage - the representation of mallards taking flight - was previously located in the departure lounge of Jersey Airport and Barchester Healtcare, the group behind the adjacent Lakeside Manor and Pavilions, were delighted to step in and meet a major part of the project cost of returning the sculpture to the Airport.
Work began in the previous week to landscape, illuminate and reposition the feature at the Airport Roundabout. AC Mauger Construction has carried out the work, while lighting and electrical supply to the roundabout has been supported by Jersey Airport. A contribution has also been made by the Le Fondré family.
Senator Terry Le Sueur said he was honoured to receive the invitation to unveil Décollage as one of his final duties as Chief Minister. He said: "I was disappointed when 'the Mallards' had to leave their original location in the Airport, and kept pressing for some way of achieving their return to the Airport area, where they symbolise flight. I am pleased that they can now be seen by everybody, and I am delighted to welcome the sculpture back."
Mike Parsons, Founder and Chief Executive of Barchester Healthcare, said: "It has been a pleasure to take the Décollage under our wing and help restore this beautiful sculpture to its former glory. Lakeside Manor and Pavilions is set to open in March 2012 and we're happy the mallards are already in a row to welcome the people that will live there."
Les Johnson FRBS, International Sculptor who created Décollage, said: "I hope the sculpture will continue to give pleasure to the people of Jersey, and I look forward to revisiting the Island and seeing the Mallards flying again!"

Since I have been living a left-handed life for the past 5 weeks, I have continued to play and learn more about doing digital collage. It is a very interesting medium since there are unlimited things that you can do with Photoshop and its many tools and filters. This past week I have been trying different things using my own handmade art that I scanned, the various filters, the masking tool, and practicing selecting objects from photos. One of the projects I have been working on is a picture of my girlfriend and I that we took while on the ferry coming back from Vancouver Island in the summer of 2010. We had such a wonderful time on our road trip up and down the island so I thought it would be nice to take the photo and create something that I could frame and hang on the wall to remind me of our adventure.
I changed the colour of the photo to sepia because
I wanted a bit of an old fashion look to the layout. Some of the background layers are scanned corrugated cardboard, water-coloured canvas and I selected the raffia ribbon from another painting and added it as a border. I also used some custom brushes that are black writing over top of the corrugated cardboard layer.
I want to increase my skills with Photoshop so I ordered a book bySusan Tuttle 'Digital Expressions' Creating Digital Art with Adobe Photoshop Elements – it has arrived, so I plan to do the different projects to increase my knowledge of the various tool, brushes and filters. Apparently the methods she uses can be created in both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop CS3. I figure this is a great way to keep my mind active learning new things and the creative juices flowing.
So til next time enjoy creating an artful life.

Written by: Jeffery Craig
When I was a kid, I remember spending my afternoons getting out and making use of my time. You would often find me riding my bike around the neighborhood, playing games with my friends in the front yard, or going to baseball practice. No matter how little free time I had, I was always productive.
Nowadays, more and more of us spend time indoors doing absolutely nothing. It is not uncommon to hear one of my friends talk about binge watching a television show. Topics of conversation typically center around what happened on the last episode of The Walking Dead or who is going to die next on Game of Thrones. Netflix has become a common term in our everyday vocabulary. And with this crazy cultural obsession of watching television for hours on end has come a significant consequence. We have started to become lazy, unproductive, unmotivated, couch potatoes.
Now don't get me wrong, it is important to relax daily. Burnout is a serious issue in our society and there are some actual health benefits to "vegging out" every now and then.
But perhaps we need to take a closer look at our relaxation behaviors. Maybe what we believe is relaxing us to increase our productivity is actually hurting us. And could it be possible that we try to convince ourselves that we are relaxing when in actuality we are just avoiding getting things done?
First, lets look at the science.
Many people believe watching television is a great way to relax after a stressful day. Although it does feel great to sit down on the couch and shut off the insanity that is going on in our brains, this is not a good form of relaxation.
Us humans need to rest our brains. It can get overwhelming if we focus on a task or tasks too long. Our brains function on two different frequencies: alpha waves and beta waves. When we are relaxed and at peace, our mind produces alpha waves. These alpha waves allow us shut off external information and process the old information we have taken in throughout the day. This allows us to store important information and free up room in our mind for new information. Beta waves focus on taking new information. Beta waves are active when we are focused on a task or receiving external information.
One would think that watching TV would shut down the beta waves and allow our mind to relax, but it doesn't. Although the neocortex, the part of our brain that focuses on analysis and reasoning shuts down, the visual cortex is still running at full force. Because of this, our beta waves are stuck in a limbo and we cannot achieve true relaxation.
Another main cause of lazy behavior is lack of motivation or fear of failure. Many of us have the energy to get shit done, but instead we choose to waste our time in front of the tube. This is because we either are unmotivated or we are afraid of the tasks at hand. A lack of motivation typically stems from ineffective subconscious thought patterns. We put an immense amount of pressure on ourselves, we fail to break our tasks into manageable pieces, and we focus on tasks that are unpleasant. As the cycle repeats, so does our lack of motivation.
It can also be caused by an attachment to our own self deprecation. Believe it or not, we sometimes lack motivation because we are comfortable with sucking at life. Yup! I said it! We are comfortable with sucking at life. It's easy to suck. We don't have to try hard and we don't have to take risks, so we convince ourselves it's what we want. Being productive is unfamiliar territory, so we avoid it at all costs and slip back into our comfort zone.
Our lack of motivation could also be influenced by a fear of failure. Many of us want to achieve great things in life. We see what others have accomplished and we want that for ourselves. But when the time comes for us to take action, we run back inside and grab the remote. A fear of failure can be detrimental to our personal happiness and overall well-being. We tell ourselves that our dreams are too big, that we aren't worthy, or that we have too much going on right now to deal with it. It is these negative self-talk patterns that hold us back from doing what makes us feel most alive.
Finally, we as a society have unconsciously placed television at the top of our priorities. According to Nielson Media Ratings Company, adults spend more than 20 hours a week watching television. In fact, the average American watches more than five hours of television a day!
Now let's think about this for a second. If we have five hours of time to watch TV, what else could we be doing? The time we spend on tasks throughout the day is a reflection of how important it is to us.
If you met someone who spends three hours a day working out, it would be safe to say that fitness is at the top of their priorities list. If you met someone who said that they spend two hours a day studying, one would assume that they place a strong focus on their education. Well, if you are spending five hours a day keeping up with the Kardashians, you are making television a top priority in your life.
So now that we all know the problems that cause the laziness, how do we fix it? Most of you reading this are probably expecting to see some tips on how to be more productive with your time. There are already numerous articles online that give tips on productivity, but that is not the answer here. This issue is about motivation and relaxation. We are here to heal the disease, NOT the symptoms.
If we want to make better use of our time, we must first allow ourselves the chance to relax our minds to re-energize. Then, we need to motivate ourselves to get off our asses and do something about it.
Below are some tips on how to overcome the inner couch potato and become a more highly motivated and highly productive version of you.
Get Out: Take a walk. Spend some time alone in nature. Take in your actual surroundings instead of an image projected on a screen. Studies have shown that exposure to natural sunlight provides us with Vitamin D, which can actually positively impact our mood and decrease symptoms of seasonal affect disorder. It has also been proven to reduce anxiety and stress.
Meditation: Meditation is a natural cure-all for the mind. Meditation silences our mind, allowing alpha waves to do their thing. Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Through meditation, we learn to relax in the truest sense of the word, focusing solely on our breath and nothing else.
Sleep: It appears that more recently, people have been neglecting this extremely important behavior in their daily lives. Sleep is necessary for us to allow our mind to process the information from the day. This is why we dream. When we don't get enough sleep, we are exhausted, weak, and anxious. When we do get a good night's sleep, we are energized, refreshed, and calm throughout or day.
Nourish Your Body: Taking care of our body is an essential part of nourishing our mind. When we take care of ourselves physically, our mind functions more efficiently and requires less effort to accomplish certain tasks. By eating healthy meals, exercising regularly, and getting regular checkups, we can ensure that our body is running as efficiently as possible so it can help the mind.
Vision Board: This may sound like some cheesy self-help advice, but vision boards have proven to be extremely effective. They are great tools in holding us accountable of our goals and desires. They are constant reminders that we cannot get what we want in our lives by sitting on our ass. If you're unaware of what a vision board is, basically you get a large piece of poster board and paste images of things you want in your life. Perhaps it is six pack abs or that car you've always dreamed of having; or maybe you want to see the Eiffel Tower, whatever it may be, it goes on the board and you put it up somewhere that you will see it every day. This will be a constant reminder of your life goals and will help get you moving forward.
One Step at A Time: If we focus on one small task at a time, our goals are more easily achieved. We cannot focus on the result and expect to reach it immediately. Small successes build over time and lead us to our final result. Studies have shown that if we break one big goal up into smaller manageable tasks, we will become more motivated to achieve them. Take your goals and break them into small achievable pieces. Chip away at the big block every day until you eventually reach the center. No one achieves success overnight. Every new page we write in our story adds up to create an epic novel.
Get Inspired: There is a reason Tony Robbins is a millionaire. People love to be inspired. Inspiration fosters motivation. When are inspired, we begin to believe that our dreams are reachable and we are worthy of achieving them. When we are inspired, our self-esteem increases. Watch an inspiring movie, listen to inspiring music, do whatever gets your blood pumping and the motivation will find you.
Try New Things: One of the reasons we lack motivation is because everyday we relive the same old boring routine. We wake up, get dressed, go to work, come home, eat dinner and go to sleep. We visit the same bars, the same restaurants, we visit the same spots day in and day out without any deviation from our normal routine. Trying new things is great way to get ourselves out of a rut. It exposes us to new interests, new experiences, and new people. It opens our minds to new ideas and adds depth to our overall worldview. Try out a new restaurant, begin practicing an interesting skill you'd like to learn, travel to a place you've never been. These experiences will open your eyes and motivate change in your life.
Get Uncomfortable: There is a great quote by Neale Donald Walsch that states "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." You see, when we live a life of safety, we miss out on some of the most exciting things the world has to offer. When we challenge ourselves and give ourselves permission to experience discomfort, the world opens up to us. It's never easy, but when we push ourselves to step out of the bubble we have lived in, we experience personal growth. We evolve as humans. If there is something you have been afraid to do because you feared failure, go for it. Allow yourself to feel the pressure. It's good for you and may just lead you on a path of greatness.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying an episode of your favorite show every now and then. But if you find that you're using the terms "binge watch" and "Netflix" on the daily yet you have failed to accomplish any of your goals, it might be time to reevaluate things. We all feel unmotivated at times. That is just one of many ebbs and flows in our lives. However, if we want to do great things with our lives, we must be willing to turn off the TV and go do something about it. We all love watching a great story of adventure unfold. Why not make one of our own?

Even as the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) today termed the Triple Talaq Bill as faulty in the lower house of parliament, Bharatiya Janata Party's Spokesperson Lekhashree Samantasinghar said the ruling party is insensitive towards the plight of women.
Samantasinghar said BJD's opposition to the bill is unjustified as it is meant to ensure the rights of Muslim women are not violated. However, BJD's Spokesperson Sasmit Patra clarified that the party does not oppose the bill but has sought some amendments in it.
The Central government today tabled the triple talaq bill, which criminalises instant divorce, in the Lok Sabha. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2017 makes instant triple talaq a non-bailable offence with imprisonment of up to three years in jail.
Participating in the discussion, BJD's MP Bhartruhari Mahtab stated that, "it is not Muslim versus others issue rather it is the framing of the bill which is faulty. This is a flawed bill." It is said in Section 3 that any pronouncement of Talaq by person upon his wife by words, either spoken, written or in electronic or any other manner whatsoever , shall be considered void and illegal.
Subsequently, section 3, 4 and 7 of the bill states that a person who pronounces such Talaq shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three or five years and the offence should be cognizable and non-bailable.
This amounts to gross misreading of the August, 2017 Supreme Court judgment which neutralized the legal effect of instant Talaq and rendered it bad in law. But the proposed bill presumes that the pronouncement of Talaq can instantaneously and irrevocably dissolve the marriage and proceeds to void it in section 3. "This begs the question of how after rendering Talaq, it will be inoperative in section 3 and its oratory pronouncement be considered cognizable and non-bailable offence in section 4 and 7. Can a law criminalize an Act after conceding that it doesn't result in crime?," asked Mahtab. There are internal contradictions in the Bill, particularly glaring in sections 5 and 6.
"The anxiety to bring in a bill is actually doing disservice to women of the Muslim community. Our party (BJD) supports empowerment of women. The judgement of the Supreme Court is what needs to be reflected in the bill. But what we find is that the bill is riddled with many contradictions", he said.

Musically, this is a gem. Playing all types of music. Starting off with some Jazz/Fusion & flowing that way for most of the album. The music is outstanding, actually, everything about this album is great. I rate this 5 Music Guru Stars. Outstanding!

What if the memories you began to see didn't belong to you!
Brynn sees memories. The problem is, they're not hers. They're borrowed from old, abandoned houses.
Brynn is a young mother, wife, and artist struggling to elude the reality of her own unsolved abduction and assault – events so physically traumatic she cannot remember them – and haunted by the years-old disappearance of her friend. When she discovers her eerie ability to glean memories locked deep within the walls of old houses, she's confronted with the chilling possibility that the two cases are related, and the person responsible could be someone she knows. Or loves. Her gift, along with the help of an unexpected confidant, will bring her face to face with both mysteries. She'll soon realize that some memories may be better off unremembered.

Blog: Rosemary Thornes talks about volunteering
I am very interested in Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery. I believe that a thriving and forward-looking museum service is important not just for education, culture and recreation, but also for tourism. This is why I volunteer and I would like to tell you about two very different aspects of my volunteering.
First, I am a member of the Friends of the Museum. There are more than 300 of us and we are here to support the Museum. I am Secretary at the moment and enjoy liaising between the Museum and our members, aiming to keep Friends updated with Museum news and events. The Friends put on a series of lectures at the Museum and arrange visits to historic houses, other museums and exhibitions. We also provide financial support for purchases and programmes.
Second. I am also a volunteer at the Museum. I have been volunteering here for more than five years, ever since the new Museum opened on 1 April 2014. I just do half a day a week, as a Gallery Guide, on Sunday afternoons. The Museum seems to have difficulty finding volunteers for Sundays, perhaps because a lot of us are retired and have family responsibilities at the weekend, but I have settled into this little slot and rarely miss a session. This has one lovely consequence – I find myself working alongside young people, often students from local schools and colleges, such as the Sixth Form College and this is very refreshing. On the other hand, it also means that I do not get to know many other volunteers, unless they also happen to be members of the Friends.
When I started I was a bit doubtful about being a gallery guide. I'm not a natural conversationalist and in previous volunteer jobs I had always undertaken research or something in the back room, which seemed more in my nature. But the Museum provided training and over the years I have become more comfortable approaching visitors and talking to strangers. I think this experience, gained on Sunday afternoons, has improved my confidence in other situations when I might have allowed myself to be isolated.
I am happy working in any part of the Museum but I like the Medieval Gallery best. I especially enjoy it when families come and I take the handling collection from the trolley and get the children to talk about the objects they are holding.
I am now in my late 70s, but am still fit and enjoying new experiences and situations. I admit to having the occasional lapse of memory, but the display posters and excellent notes in the gallery files are there to remind us all of the details. And so I hope to continue volunteering for a few more years.
I would encourage other people to join the Friends and, if they have half a day free, to volunteer. The staff at the Museum have always made me feel an integral part of the system and I feel as though I belong.
Rosemary Thornes, Volunteer and Secretary of the Friends of Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery
Volunteers have an invaluable role in enabling us to deliver our workshops, events, education programmes and much more.

Not only does he give all the strokes you may need in various situations, I also learned about equipment, safety, tides and currents, how to transport and hold my board. Little things that made a huge difference because I'm prepared in every area. Now I can just concentrate on having fun when I hit the water."

Learning a new language is hard enough without knowing which apps will really work before burning a hole in your budget. That's not to say the investment isn't worth the cost, because it most certainly is. Here's my guide to free language learning apps divided by practice. Each will let you choose from 10 or more languages.
Learn To Write Alphabets in 20 Languages
Starting at the beginning, the alphabet (aleph bet / uyir elutukkal & mei elutukkal what-have-you).
Starting with the letters.
"Learn To Write Alphabets in 20 Languages" will help you practice these new sounds and symbols. It comes with a choice of 19 languages and if one has a "print" style and a cursive hand, the app covers both, no worries. Read. Write. Listen & gain new vocab along the way. It's gold. Free gold.
Building Vocabulary? Download Drops.
It's fun and you'll want to use it. This could also be good for grammar… There's a master app which may contain all 33 options, but it may be best to download them separately. Inside the app select the reason for learning, as a traveler or an enthusiast, select the level and gender. All these can be switched in the settings but keep in mind, selecting female gender means the apps will give words spoken by female (if gender by subject matters in that language). Lessons are in 5 minute increments with all sorts of words, phrases, and get ready to practice spelling too.
Master Ling
It's good to know words, and even better knowing how to use them.
Master Ling is a great grammar app. You have to earn bananas and stars as you go to unlock levels to avoid paying for more, but the pace it creates without spending $$ is pretty nice. Build your conversational skills through practice convos (of course), translate them and test your knowledge with fill in the blank quizzes.
Ease into grammar with Mondly.
The free version takes you through lessons day by day so you can take you time in this new territory. First time users will have a chance to activate the 7-day trial (to start, stop and restart at any time) – Lessons are pretty thorough so make sure to activate it when you have a lot of time on hand. Also you can change the displayed text from native to Latin. Pretty dope.
Put it in practice and read out-loud.
Download Beelinguapp
After selecting your primary language, choose any 2 of 14 languages at a time and find various books beginner to advanced and improve your recognition and comprehension of the language your learning. This is most helpful if you're studying is of a non-Latin script (should that be your default). Bored with the 2 you chose, flip flop however you like at no cost to you. There's also no cost to how many books you can read. Have fun. Free fun.
BONUS APP! Application! We're in Memphis, making it easier to practice these languages with real people! Go to restaurants and place your order, have small talk in a shops, attend the festivals for crying out loud. International Memphis keeps a list of different cultural events for you to check out!

Ideomotor effects are actions that are not perceived as intentional, but seem to emerge with no identifiable source; they are often associated with a sense of involuntariness. The Ouija Board phenomenon is a classic example of this. The goal of this project is to test if a device based on the use of the ideomotor effect and then bypassing the explicit cognition could help to study implicit cognition.
This project covers different aspects that could be explored by a student as part of a research project:
- Studying what type of thoughts can be expressed through ideomotor actions (e.g. implicit memory, implicit perception).

Ship of death
Lindholm Høje is just north of the Liim Fiord near Ålborg. It is one of Denmark's most spectacular grave sites from the Iron Age and Viking era. At least 700 burials took place on the burial ground from the mid-5th century and 500 years on. Most interesting are …
The great sand drifts
One autumn day in the 10th century – the middle of the Viking era – the west wind came roaring through the Liim Fiord. It carried huge amounts of sand in over the fields at the foot of Lindholm Høje. When archaeologists excavated the site 1,000 years later, they found clear traces of a desperate peasant and his horse who tried to flee from the raging elements. It was not the first time a stand storm had hit the site. Several times in the Iron Age the wind had whistled across the open areas leaving thick layers of sand behind. Even while the burial ground was still in use, the oldest graves were covered with drifting sand. Under the sand, archaeologists also found traces of old roads and farms, some of which date back to the time of the burials.

|Storage box at full capacity.
So, when we returned home, I went online and was able to find a couple of sources for these boxes. The width and height were perfect, and they were even available in a variety of depths – "COOL!!" But, my enthusiasm was curbed when I saw the price – they sold for approximately $6 each. Given the approximate number of boxes I'd need, it would cost me at least $60 to purchase these boxes – way outside of my target price range.
Once the paper is used, these cartons are usually discarded. My sense of frugality was well satisfied – what's better than free? So, after playing around with cutting and pasting, I was able to scale-down the carton size so it could accommodate my patterns and still sit neatly on the shelf with a little over-hang.
The next consideration was decorating the box so it would be visually pleasing and still fit in with any future décor changes I may want to make. I used some fabric I had on-hand to cover and line the first box, but I realized that it would not be enough to cover all of the boxes I'd need, and the cost to purchase more fabric to cover these boxes didn't seem worth the investment.
|Isn't "she" pretty?
|I've since added felt to the box to "pretty up" the bottom.

Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop
Wangstas, Wiggers, Wannabes, And The New Reality Of Race In America
Our national conversation about race is out-of-date. Hip-hop is the key to understanding how things are changing. In a book that will appeal to hip-hoppers both black and white and their parents, Kitwana teases apart the culture of hip-hop to illuminate how race is being lived by young Americans. He poses and answers a plethora of questions, among them: Does hip-hop belong to black kids? What in hip-hop appeals to white youth? Is hip-hop different from what R&B, jazz, and even rock 'n' roll meant to previous generations? What does class have to do with it? How do young Americans think about race, and how has hip-hop influenced their perspective? Kitwana addresses uncomfortable truths about America's level of comfort with black people, challenging preconceived notions of race. With this brave tour de force, Bakari Kitwana takes his place alongside the greatest African American intellectuals of the past decades.—From publisher description.

Someone that I knew had the same thing happen to him with a sucubis while he was alone and without a human lover he would sleep naked and allow the spirit to have sex with him, it would awaken him 2 , 3 or 5am and he would have an erection, When he was not interested he would see that he wore underwear and a track suit pants or pj's while sleeping. During sex his body could be thrown a foot or more above the bed and he could achieve and enjoy satisfaction. He had no such problem when sleeping with a woman in his bed. So YES like one of the earlier post said, if you have a healthy sexual relationship with a human partner, then there is less chance of this happening.

How to Run Windows 10 Store Apps at Startup
There's a great value in having your PC open your favorite programs as soon as you log in. It can make your computer feel faster Speed Up Windows With 10 Tricks and Hacks Looking to speed up your computer without spending a lot of time? Here are 10 tweaks to make Windows faster that take 10 minutes or less. Read More , saving you from having to click on a half-dozen icons. You probably know how to set normal desktop programs to run at startup, but what about Windows 10 Store apps?
Thankfully, it's easy to set up Store apps to run as soon as you log in. Here's how to do so.
How to Run Windows 10 Store Apps at Startup
- Open a File Explorer window by clicking on the folder icon on your Taskbar.
- Click inside the address bar, and enter shell:appsfolder. This will open a list of all apps installed on your computer.
- Open a second File Explorer window by holding Shift and clicking the folder icon again.
- Enter shell:startup into the second File Explorer pane. This opens a folder containing a list of programs that Windows will run at startup These Programs Slow Down Your Windows 10 Boot Is Windows 10 booting slower than it used to? Sluggish programs launching on startup might be the culprit. We'll show you how to trim down your boot list. Read More .
- Now, simply drag and drop icons from the apps folder to the startup folder. This will create a shortcut link and Windows will automatically open them at launch.
- Restart your PC and you'll see the apps open as soon as you log in.
This method is a bit clunky, because the shell:appsfolder list doesn't just contain Store apps. It includes program uninstallers and Store apps have nearly invisible icons.
To make this easier, the next major update to Windows 10 will have a new Startup Apps tab on the Apps category in Settings. For now, though, this is the best way to do it.
Don't forget that having too many startup programs Remove Windows Startup Items to Fix Your Slow Computer for Free Programs launching at boot can affect both the Windows startup speed and your computer's overall performance. Fix your slow computer by removing applications from auto-start. We show you how to catch them all. Read More can slow down your computer's boot time, so use this sparingly.

The Austin-Healey Sprite series of small-capacity production sports cars with BMC A-Series engines is too familiar to require detailed description here, but this particular car is one of the very select group of "Sebring" Sprites which were highly modified for international road-racing competition and driven in their heyday by such great names as Pat Moss (International Rally-winning sister of Stirling Moss) and the late, much-missed Australian international driver Paul Hawkins.
Its first owner was Mr. Cyril Simson, who presented it to the London tuning and race-preparation company run by well-known racing driver John Sprinzel. There it was extensively modified for competition, being fitted with a more aerodynamic, lightweight aluminum coupe body tailor-made by the well-known specialist competition coachbuilding company Williams & Pritchard.
It made its race debut at Goodwood on Easter Monday, 1960, but crashed. However, its mild damage was rapidly repaired, and success followed with Paul Hawkins winning the class in the GT race at the Aintree 200 meeting, then finishing seventh with Ian Walker and helping the Sprinzel Sprite team to win the Team Prize at the demanding Nurburgring 500 Kms race for under 1,000cc Touring and GT cars in Germany.
At the start of the 1961 season, Cyril Simson made his car available to the two-car Castrol-backed "works" team for the Sebring 4-Hours small-capacity GT race driven by Pat Moss/Paul Hawkins in support of Miss Moss's brother Stirling in John Sprinzel's own sister car. The car was then serviced and taken over by Cyril Simson/Paul Hawkins for the major Sebring 12-Hours race which followed. Subsequently, Peter Clake drove the car in that year's Nurburgring l,000 Kms and became its new owner.
In 1964 it is believed to have been raced, wearing the registration 184 FGJ. It competed in Marque sports car events driven by Ed Braine and John Palmer, the latter owning it from 1966 until 1989.
It was acquired from Colin Pearcy, the well-known British competition car collector, in 1994. Pearcy commissioned Pritchard to make a new body to the exact specification of the original. (The previous body, which was not to the original specification, is also available.) The private German owner has had great success with this famous Sebring Sprite in historic competition with class wins at Spa, Nurburgring and Zandvoort.
The car has had a full mechanical restoration and its specification includes 1,000cc engine, close-ratio gearbox, limited-slip differential, adjustable rear shock absorbers, full roll cage, leather race seat and harness.

The Regional Sessions of EYP Ukraine ended two weeks ago, and we are finally able to digest the information and the experience we've been through. For this, we have asked delegates, who participated in EYP Ukraine sessions for the first time, to share their experience with us. Here is what they had to say.
Oksana Pylypiuk, Delegate to Vinnytsia, Odesa and Kyiv Regional Sessions:
"Every person, who has been to any EYP session has their own story about how they found out what EYP is. Well, for me it was pretty simple. I heard about the first regional session of 2017 coming up from one of the organizers and, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be something very special that I desire to do later on. I was simply curious and desperate to skip couple more days of school. Hardly could I ever imagine that after applying as a delegate I will get so addicted to EYP. As I can assure anyone now – sessions bring a lot of diversity into your life. You meet people from all around Europe and have this brilliant chance to learn about their cultures. We live in the time, when people strive to become global citizens, so being able to easily adjust to new environments is precious and EYP greatly helps with gaining this skill. Besides, every session is special in its own way. I doubt that anyone, who took part in more than one can name a session, that is better than other, because all of them are so different from each other. Whether it is the topic, the General Assembly or Eurovillage, there always is something for everyone. In addition, it is crucial to be aware of our current world. EYP teaches about how complex Europe is, what some problems are and how to solve them. It allows us to develop our personalities, improve our communication, public speaking skills etc. Yet, the greatest thing that makes EYP highly memorable is the people. I don't think that there are many places which have such an amiable atmosphere like this. As a saying goes, "We're all in the train of love", so I agree that EYP is where love and understanding take place. All in all, it must be said that the impression EYP leaves is a long-lasting one, the impact it makes is tremendous and positive. Consequently, it is worth every second."
~ Liuda Mosyichuk, Delegate to Odesa Regional Session:
"I learnt about EYP in autumn 2016 and realized that I should become its part as quickly as possible. I found application for department members and immediately applied. Soon I got a letter about my admission and I was infinitely happy. From that moment my EYP way officially started.
I was a little bit sad when learnt that RS of EYP would be held only in April as it meant that I should wait for half a year. But I was looking forward to that moment as I was sure that sessions would be great. And they were.
Odesa Regional Session was my first. And though it was a month ago, I am full of pleasant impressions after the Session.
My trip to Odesa was very unusual. Surely I did not expect to see snow and wear winter clothes in April. But no weather could make that day and my mood worse.
After arrival, I went to the Marenero hotel. There I registered and tried to find my teammates. I felt really excited as everything there was new and unusual for me. At last I got acquainted with members of my team and saw that all of them were awesome people and I realized that our team would be the same. SEDE 1, love you all!
The first day we played a lot of games, connected with teambuilding and discussed various situations. At that moment I realized that teamwork was not as easy as it seemed to be. Every person has its own point of view and sometimes it could be difficult to find a solution. But the first day was fun, cool and cognitive.
The next day teams discussed very important problems and wrote their resolutions. Comparing with the first day, the second was really hard. As you had to think analyze, learn, create, suggest. Sometimes I was sure that in few seconds my brain would burst out. But after intensive work we had wonderful rest – Eurovillage and a Rockstar party.
The last, third, day was called GA, or General Assembly. Every team presented its resolution and had to persuade other teams that this resolution is fabulous and had to be accepted. Though resolution of my team was failed, I was not sad at all. We would improve ourselves and achieve success during the next sessions.
I am so thankful to all Organizers of Odesa RS, as the hotel, meals, topics – everything was great. I can't forget about Media team. I watch all the videos with the smile on my face, tears in my eyes and warmth in my heart. I am grateful to everyone, who has helped to make this session. Continue doing this as we need it.
Hope to see all of you soon!!!"

Selling a property or house is a huge decision to make and this is something that you should check with the whole family. In case you have so lots of properties and you only wanted to sell one, it may not really be a huge issue for you. If I wish to sell my house in Sunset Hills, what are the things that I have to take into consideration? This is actually the question that many folks are asking since they want to make certain that they're doing the correct thing. Here are some of the things that you've got to think about before you choose to sell your home.
Have A Consider The Market Value Of Your Property
Before you decide to sell your home, you have to first know how much the house can be sold once you sell it. A Mehlville real estate agent can be a big help to you if you really wish to assess the value of your property. If the value of the property is less than the amount you invested in it, it won't be a great idea to sell it at this time as it would only be a large loss to you. If you will sell the house to make money, you must make sure that you are going to not lose anything when you sell it.
Getting A Brand New House
One of the primary reasons for selling a house in St. Louis, aside from financial troubles, is buying a new one for the family. Most families that are just beginning commonly purchase a house where they could stay and develop their finances. They usually stay in their old houses until they've got the money to afford a brand-new house. They're going to sell the house that they're living in, but this is an area of the deal. This is among the reasons for most homeowners when selling their homes.
If you already have the money to buy a brand new house, it will not be bad to sell your existing one.
You Are Emotionally Ready
Selling a house isn't always about the intricacies of the housing market since there are instances when the emotional attachment is the main reason why some folks don't want to sell their house in Kirkwood. This is particularly true for old houses that were passed down by parents or grandparents.
You can leave your house or sell near Sunset Hills when you're emotionally ready. Of course, when you are ready, you'll have to take into account the other factors mentioned previously.
You need to not be afraid to sell your home and purchase a new one because a real estate agent may help you with this.
I really wish to list my house for sale in Fenton, what are the things that I have to do? You may call us now so you are going to know more about how to efficiently sell your house.

Week 8 started a little rough…we woke up with no running water on Sunday morning. Pipes burst in the complex so we were shower-less for the day. With no practices scheduled in the morning, I worked on my computer and finished up an article for EliteFTS on "playground trainingâ€â€¦hoping it will be published in the coming weeks. Dom and I ran to the TUF set to use their shower and then we met up with our Team Cruz athletes at a neighborhood park for a cookout. I mentioned last week that we were giving the guys a few extra days off this week since their bodies badly needed a break. Team chef, Chris Tickle, cooked up a feast and the rest of the team and coaching staff hung out, threw a ball around, and relaxed. The highlight of the cookout was the intense battles of "21″ that took place between myself, Dominick, and 6′ 3″ athlete James Vick. The big Texan played some JuCo ball and it showed in the first game…he put a butt-kicking on us. Game 2 was another battle, however, and I squeaked out a tough one. We thought about a 3rd game, but it was literally 100 degrees out in Vegas that day so 45 minutes of running around was enough for the three of us. I should add that while the Bantamweight Champ didn't win either game, he can ball. If next week's "Coaches Challenge†for the TUF show is hoops, Faber will be in trouble for sure.
After the cookout, I hung out in the complex pool for my "shower†since we still didn't have any water.
Monday morning omelets kicked off the day (after a shower…water was fixed), and then off to TUF practice. Dom showed the guys some cage-control techniques and they drilled for about 90 minutes.
At the morning team practice at Throwdown, I warmed up with the guys…3 5-minute rounds of shadow boxing. This warm-up could easily be someone's workout. The guys drilled while I did deadlifts and presses. Lunch at home was grilled chicken and veggies and then back to TUF for the afternoon session. We changed up their schedule a bit so I put them through a strength & conditioning session tonight. My plan was first 1/2 strength, second 1/2 conditioning. The session went something like this:
Dynamic Warm-Up with shoulder mobility and glute activation work
Round 1 (strength): Lateral Plyos –> Front Squats –> Hip Thrusters
Round 2 (strength): High-Rep Pullups –> Stability Ball Pushups –> TRX abs
Round 3 (conditioning): Incline Treadmill –> Weighted Tire Push
Round 4 (conditioning): Airdyne Sprints –> SuperBand Snapdowns
It may look like a lot on paper, however, we were in and out in under an hour. We ran home to eat and then back to Throwdown for the night training. Most of the guys were hitting pads and/or doing bag-work. I brought my gi and had the opportunity to roll with Wilson Reis. He's a long-time black belt and I'm a bright white belt…needless to say, the 60 minute session was not pretty. Not only did I not score a single point, I never even came close to passing his guard…well, maybe one time. He may tell you differently though. It was one of the hardest sessions I've had out here to date. I loved it and hated it at the same time. Wilson is a great teacher too and showed me a lot of fundamentals that I need to start working on. I crawled home, showered, and went to bed….too tired to eat.
Tuesday has no TUF sessions so I made a morning Whole Foods run and then met up with the team at the TUF set for a sparring session. The UFC wanted to film Dom and the team training so that's why we went to their facility and not Throwdown today. I did treadmill sprints and stretched while they had a great sparring session. It's always awesome getting a front row seat to these sparring sessions. I get to watch UFC athletes Dom, Jeremy Stephens, Ross Pearson, and a bunch of other animals go at it each and every day….love me job. The afternoon had me back at the pool for an hour or so reading some more "Easy Strengthâ€. I hope to finish it up by next week. The night Throwdown strength training session included Forrest, Mark Ellis, and a couple other guys. It was a squat and pull-up focus tonight. Dom and I made it back to the condo around 8:30 and I cooked up some steaks and a big salad for dinner.
Wednesday morning's TUF session was sparring. Sparring sessions are fun for me because I get to watch, listen, and learn from the other coaches on our Team Cruz staff. Another solid training session in the books…we left and the guys went to Throwdown for a wrestling practice. I'm personally taking the day off so I just did 10 minutes of mobility work and watched the practice. We ran home for lunch, and then back to TUF for an afternoon wrestling session. Another quick turnaround and we were back at Throwdown for a strength session with a group of guys. This wasn't the same group as the guys I trained on Tuesday night so there were a couple repeats movements…the primary lifts were shoulder mobility drills, deadlifts, pullups, and heavy carries. Dinner was some salmon, potatoes, and veggies, and then I worked on some program writing for the rest of the night.
Thursday started with big old omelets and then it was on to TUF for morning sprint work. Our fighter for the week, Sam Sicilia, was already on weight for his big fight Friday night. Sam is one of our hardest workers and definitely one of my favorites on the team (have I said that about every one of our guys?!). At Throwdown, the team boxed and I worked out with Colleen Schneider, a female MMA athlete who trains at Throwdown. We worked on squats and pullups, and then did a bunch of partner sprints as a finisher.
Back at TUF, the fighters, Sam and his opponent, Chris Saunders, weighed in (both at 155), and then Team Cruz drilled for 90 minutes. After practice, we were back to Throwdown for session #2 of the day. I rolled with Wilson again and only lasted about 45 minutes this time.
I tweaked an oblique muscle trying to hip escape during a scramble. The hip escape was unsuccessful and my oblique is still bothering me as I type this (5 days later). I must have pulled it pretty good. At home that night I iced up quite a bit and went to bed.
Friday – Fight day!! It's so sweet to have prime seats to a UFC event every single week! I'm so appreciative of this opportunity out here. The morning TUF practice was drilling for the team and eating for Sam! It's always funny to see how much weight the guys put back on after weigh-ins. Sam looked good and was ready to rumble. At Throwdown, the guys grappled and I did a real light workout…my oblique was really bothering me was I wanted to take it easy. My plan is to actually take the next 3 days off completely to try and rest it up. I'll be home in San Diego training clients and running around so it will give me some much needed rest.
In the Team Cruz locker room, Sam seemed calm and confident. I stretched him out, he hit pads with Coach Eric, and worked on some ground techniques with Wilson. They called us in and it was go time!
The next 10 minutes were a war. Saunders earned a lot of respect from me…I thought Sam was going to walk through this guy, definitely not the case. Saunders took the first round in a big way. He connected on a solid leg kick that would have had me still on the ground today. Sam recovered from it and actually pushed the action. Sam dropped Saunders in the second and I thought he easily won round 2. Unfortunately, as the sign above the locker room door states, "Never leave it in the hands of the judgesâ€. They awarded a split decision to Saunders. I've re-watched every fight so far this season and I've agreed with every decision the judges have made; except this one….definitely felt it should have gone to a third round. It is what it is. The two guys put on a hell of a fight…and Saunders got the better of it tonight. I hate leaving the locker room after a loss, but I had to catch a flight home. I gave Sam a hug and told him to keep his head up high…he should be proud of his performance.
The weekend back home was busy. Saturday started with clients in the morning and afternoon and then I finally got to spend some time with my better half. We went to dinner and then caught a Cirque du Soleil show, Totem, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
I've seen about 10 Cirque shows and they always deliver for me. I am always so impressed and amazed at what the human body is capable of. Truly awesome stuff. If you've never seen a Cirque show, do it!
Sunday started with more clients and then brunch at one of my favorite spots in town, The Naked Cafe. After brunch, we hung out in Solana Beach for a little bit and then checked out a possible new condo in Carmel Valley. We are looking to move this year and the Carmel Valley area is #1 on the list. Rest and relaxation for the rest of the day.
Another busy week ahead…details coming soon. Keep rooting for Team Cruz! We need the Wolverine to win this one so we can tie things up 4-4!

Lecturer Rob Hamilton will spend four weeks with the England squad, looking after all sports with key responsibilities for wrestling, squash and netball to help the athletes prepare for competition and deal with injuries that occur.
The 44-year-old, who has been a Physiotherapy lecturer at UCLan for the last seven years and a physiotherapist for 17 years, is no stranger to such high profile events after working at the last two Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Delhi with the same team. He was offered the job for Australia at the end of 2016.
17 April 2018
We used a surf board to illustrate Team England's medal tally gold, silver and bronze. Great games and hugely successful!!

Don Parker, Charlie Bowling and myself at the Closing Ceremony.
Here I am with the Gold Medal winning Netball Team!
Here I am with the very tall Chris Gregory, who reached the semi-finals of Beach Volleyball.
15 April 2018
We've been enjoying some entertainment and had a little fun in the village.
14 April 2018
The final day of the Wrestling was another great success. Syerus Eslami, wrestling at 86kg, warmed up in another early start beginning immediately after the weigh in at 8:00, he was the first match of the day. We dealt with some strains that he picked up in his matches through the morning session and worked with him to optimise his recovery between bouts. He piled on the pressure in his matches to win English Wrestling third bronze medal.
He made a great gesture carrying his coach on his shoulders in a parade lap, overall a great team effort.
These fantastic games are coming to an end today and I'd say that the team ethos and professionalism of all the athletes, coaches, HQ medical team, and HQ staff involved have been the best I have had the privilege to work with.
13 April 2018
A successful Bronze for Georgina Nelthorpe on Thursday and a successful Bronze medal for Charlie Bowling. I am so happy for them both.
We also have a little fun with the head coach Anatoli, who is a great fun guy as well as a brilliant Wrestling mentor, just making sure he remembers to carry the water and towel to the mat!!
12 April 2018
Moving into the second day of competition and working with the athletes on their individual needs, perhaps facilitated stretching, releasing trigger points and hypertonicity, taping or the typical Wrestling arm squeeze and back friction rub, it's all about giving the athletes the optimal support to do their best.
11 April 2018
Charlie and George partner up to go through practice drills and I deliver physiotherapy at the mat side.
The competition starts tomorrow for our first Wrestlers. This is what we have come here for!!
10 April 2018
We are at the training venue for a morning session for technical mat work and individual preparation.
9 April 2018
We have now all moved into the games village and the run up to competition has really stepped up the gear
5 April 2018
Rob providing physio to Charlie
3 April 2018
"Another busy day in the prep camp and as more athletes move onto the games village we have moved our support to a different area in the Rydges hotel prep base."
"The views from the room were spectacular today and the colours in the sky were picture perfect. Time for a quick photo opportunity then back to work."
2 April 2018
"The wrestlers arrived in prep camp and it's all hands on deck once again to support them in their training and recovery. Here George Ramm and UCLan's Charlie Bowling are stretching post-wrestle conditioning."
"And then onto treatment for Charlie, time to help mobilise his lower back, followed by soft tissue release and assisted stretching techniques. Same job but look at the magnificent Brisbane river view…"
30 March 2018
"Helen Clitheroe and I just met in passing in another busy prep day here in Brisbane. Helen has just returned from a great session she held at the track and I had just picked up some coffees for the medical team in another really busy day here. Everything is going really smoothly and the athletes and staff are all in good spirits and feeling confident.
"Physio is going really well, we have such a strong team here but there is lots to do other than hands on clinical practice. We all contribute towards keep the clinic tidy, replacing towels, monitoring the ice baths, attaching the cooling cuffs, as well as other manual work"
28 March 2018
"I have just arrived in Brisbane following a mammoth but comfortable 24 hour trip. It is great to be here and the medical and HQ team are very organised and have created wonderful facilities. The image below shows the view we have in the prep camp HQ over Brisbane River - fantastic! It's great to be supporting the athletes' preparation here, and we have a very busy evening ahead of us."
It's a huge honour to be given this job for a third time and I'm really looking forward to it.
A multi-sport event like this has such an amazing atmosphere so it's a privilege to be a part of it and work with top professional athletes and support staff.
"I'll be doing the job I do every day just in a different setting. It benefits my students because I can share clinical examples from elite sport and really give classroom learning some good context.
On a personal level, it's a great professional development opportunity and I'm looking forward to sharing ideas with like-minded coaches and back room staff.
"My aim is to help the athletes hit the ground running and be in peak condition for the start of the Games, but of course you have to be reactive and be prepared for many eventualities. I'm confident England Wrestling will be successful in the Commonwealth Games and I'm looking forward to supporting the campaign."
