In summer, Vancouver’s Kitsilano Pool is a cool oasis, a light blue lozenge on the edge of the ocean. Swimming in the pool can feel peaceful if you’re there alone, slowly turning laps with the blue sky, the ocean and the downtown skyline all in your field of vision. Or it can feel madcap if you’re there with your kids, playing a game of Marco Polo. For many Vancouverites, it’s just not summer without a dip in Kits Pool.
This is how Sean Healy, former director of aquatics at the Vancouver Park Board, described the saltwater pool in 2012: "The experience for the customer is a near-ethereal experience, almost heaven-like — you plunge into this clean basin.”
In winter, the pool becomes a giant bird bath, a foul but strangely intriguing shade of deep green. And that’s when the damage happened last winter: In November 2021 and then again in January 2022, climate change came for Vancouver’s summer jewel.
Two powerful winter storms, combined with the high winter "king tides," pushed sea water and damaged the seawall that surrounds the pool. The first storm, which started on Nov. 15, was part of the weather system that caused the atmospheric river that dumped down heavy rain and led to catastrophic flooding in many parts of B.C.
A second storm on Jan. 7 didn’t do as much damage, but a high king tide, winds of up to 70 kilometres per hour and a low pressure system led to hours of waves crashing over the seawall and loose driftwood pounding against the concrete and stone walkway that runs from Kitsilano to False Creek to Stanley Park.
About 10 per cent of the seawall was damaged, including large pieces of concrete and masonry that had been tossed around like Lego pieces by the water.
In Kitsilano Park, the seawall wraps around the 137-metre long pool. The ocean, the seawall and the water table are balanced to keep the pool intact. The pool stays filled with water in the winter to ensure pressure from the water table wouldn’t crush it if left empty.
But the January storm upset the balance.
“At Kits Pool, the water went right over the seawall and into the pool, and these winds were sustained for about… six hours,” said Dave Hutch, director of parks planning and development with the Vancouver Park Board.
The city and park board have been planning for the effects of climate change, including sea level rise, for years.
But Hutch said the storm was a wake-up call about the changing reality.
“These are the water levels that we're going to be experiencing,” Hutch said. “They were some of the highest that had ever been seen.”
During the annual spring cleanup of the pool, parks board staff discovered cracks in the bottom and shifts in the huge concrete slabs that make up the pool floor.
City staff sealed the cracks and did enough repairs to allow the pool to open Saturday.
But come fall, some hard decisions need to be made about the pool’s future.
The park board plans to start consultation with the public on some tough decisions about the seawall and the oceanfront pools. (Second Beach pool in Stanley Park, which is also next to the ocean on the seawall, is slightly higher than Kitsilano Pool, but is still vulnerable to being damaged by a future storm.)
“Things like the pool and the seawall, right along the edge of the water — they really weren't designed for this kind of extreme weather,” Hutch said. “They were designed at a time when sea levels were lower, and storm surges weren't as great.”
More repairs will be needed to fix Kitsilano Pool, and it’s possible the pool will even have to be moved to a different location, Hutch said. The 2022 storm damage follows a $3.3-million refurbishment that was completed in 2018, although much of that work was to repair mechanical systems.
The atmospheric river in November 2021 flooded towns and farmers’ fields and smashed the Coquihalla Highway, a major transportation and shipping route. The disaster showed the climate emergency is no longer looming in the future, and will wreak some sort of havoc every year.
The seawall and the oceanfront pools are vulnerable because they’re human-made, Hutch said. While the seawall walkway is a beloved recreational escape and gets people close to nature, its builders never anticipated our changing climate.
Hutch said the changes go beyond infrastructure and swimming pools.
“A lot of the marine ecology is really impacted by the kinds of wave and water forces that are the result of the seawall being in place,” Hutch said.
“So, we really want to describe them better. And illustrate that to people, and then start talking about options.”

Social media users from around the world are celebrating the union of two Indian grooms who tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony earlier this month.
When Aditya Madiraju and Amit Shah shared their wedding photos online, they were shocked to find that the images became widely shared on social media.
While the pair actually first got married last year via a small ceremony at New York City Hall, it did not take long for them to eventually decide on throwing a celebration for their family and friends.
They also chose July as the perfect month to do it since Madiraju’s parents, who live in India, were already planning to visit the United States this summer anyway, reports the Huffington Post.
The festivities began on July 18, with the couple hosting a mehndi party in their backyard. They both wore linen kurtas by Bohame.
The next day, they held a traditional ceremony at a Hindu temple in New Jersey in which they wore floral kurtas by Anita Dongre.
Finally, on July 20, they hosted a sangeet-style reception at Pondicheri cafe in New York City, where they wore wardrobe by Andaz Design — which is Shah’s own costume and wedding attire company.
“In the midst of planning, we didn’t realize that having a same-sex wedding at a temple would be groundbreaking,” Madiraju was quoted as saying.
“We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do it. And now looking back, especially after the attention our wedding has received, it’s evident that what we were able to do will change the scope for LGBTQ couples in the future.”
Charmi Patel Peña
, the couple’s wedding photographer lamented that the Hindu community “still has a lot of growing to do when it comes to gay marriage.”
“So it’s been really, really amazing for us to see how the [couples has] been embraced by the temple and the community which allowed them to marry there,” she noted.
According to Madiraju, the many positive responses they received from around the world have been “overwhelming.”
“We have been getting messages on social media from people around the globe who have come out to their families, people who have regained a sense of hope, and even those who have changed their mind about LGBTQ couples and will now support them,” he said. “The response has given a whole new meaning to our marriage, and we are excited about the social changes this will help make.”

What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous, colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. Although it has no detectable odor, CO is often mixed with other gases that do have an odor. You can inhale carbon monoxide right along with gases that you can smell and not know that CO is present.
CO is a common industrial hazard resulting from the incomplete combustion of natural gas and other material containing carbon, such as gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane, coal, or wood. Forges, blast furnaces, and coke ovens produce CO, but one of the most common sources of exposure in the workplace is the internal combustion engine.
Who is at risk of exposure?
You may be exposed to harmful levels of CO in boiler rooms, breweries, warehouses, petroleum refineries, pulp and paper production, and steel production; around docks, blast furnaces, or coke ovens; or in one of the following occupations:
- Firefighter, police officer.
- Equipment operator.
- Tunnel attendant.
- Taxi driver.
- Carbon black production, organic chemical synthesizer, metal oxide reducer.
- People working in poorly ventilated areas and/or confined spaces.
What’s the harm?
Carbon monoxide is harmful when inhaled because it displaces oxygen in the blood and deprives the heart, brain, and other vital organs of oxygen. Large amounts of CO can overcome you in minutes without warning, causing you to lose consciousness and suffocate.
What are the health effects?
The lack of warning signs makes CO especially dangerous. Employees with heart or lung problems are particularly susceptible to CO poisoning. Early signs of acute CO poisoning include headache, blurry vision, drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, and confusion. Initially the victim may have pale skin. Later the skin and mucous membranes turn cherry red due to the CO combining with blood hemoglobin. If the exposure continues, these symptoms may be followed by nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, and difficulty breathing. Finally, the victim loses consciousness and enters a coma. If the victim does not receive oxygen, death can occur. If the victim survives, the individual may suffer permanent brain damage. In extremely high CO concentrations, death can occur within only a few minutes.
What can you do if you suspect an exposure?
When you suspect CO poisoning, promptly taking the following actions can save lives:
- Move the victim immediately to fresh air in an open area.
- Call 911 or another local emergency number for medical attention or assistance.
- Administer 100% oxygen using a tight-fitting mask if the victim is breathing.
- Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the victim has stopped breathing.
Warning: You may be exposed to fatal levels of CO poisoning in a rescue attempt. Rescuers should be skilled at performing recovery operations and using recovery equipment. Employers should make sure that rescuers are not exposed to dangerous CO levels when performing rescue operations.
What can employers do to prepare and prevent?
To reduce the chances of CO poisoning, take the following actions:
- Install an effective ventilation system that will remove CO from work areas.
- Maintain equipment and appliances (e.g., water heaters, space heaters, cooking ranges) that can produce CO in good working order to promote their safe operation.
- Consider switching from gasoline-powered equipment to equipment powered by electricity, batteries, or compressed air if it can be used safely.
- Prohibit the use of gasoline-powered engines or tools in poorly ventilated areas.
- Provide personal CO monitors with audible alarms if potential exposure to CO exists.
- Test air regularly in areas where CO may be present, including confined spaces. See Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.146.
- Use a full-face pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) or a combination full-face pressure-demand supplied-air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply in areas with high CO concentrations, i.e., those immediately dangerous to life and health atmospheres. (See 29 CFR 1910.134.)
- Use respirators with appropriate canisters for short periods under certain circumstances where CO levels are not exceedingly high.
- Educate workers about the sources and conditions that may result in CO poisoning as well as the symptoms and control of CO exposure.
In addition, if employees are working in confined spaces with suspected CO presence, workers must test for oxygen sufficiency before entering.
What can employees do to prepare and prevent?
- Report any situation to your employer that might cause CO to accumulate.
- Be alert to ventilation problems — especially in enclosed areas where gases from burning fuels may be released.
- Promptly report complaints of dizziness, drowsiness, or nausea.
- Avoid overexertion if you suspect CO poisoning and leave the contaminated area.
- Tell your doctor that you may have been exposed to CO.
- Avoid the use of gas-powered engines while working in enclosed spaces.
What are the OSHA standards for CO exposure?
- The OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 50 parts per million (PPM). OSHA standards prohibit worker exposure to more than 50 PPM averaged during an eight-hour time period.
- The eight-hour PEL for CO in maritime operations is also 50 PPM. However, maritime workers must be removed from exposure if the CO concentration in the atmosphere exceeds 100 PPM.

A randomized double-blind crossover trial was conducted to study the effects of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) at a dose of 50 mg per day on symptoms characteristic of the premenstrual syndrome. Sixty three women aged 18-49 years, identified by means of a general practice based survey of menstrual patterns in the community, entered the trial. All of the women had noticed moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms during the previous year. The women kept a daily menstrual diary which graded the severity of nine individual symptoms from zero to three. After completing a diary for an initial month the women were randomized to receive either drug or placebo for three months, after which the treatments were crossed over for a further three months. Thirty two women completed the full seven months of the study. In these women a significant beneficial effect (P less than 0.05) of pyridoxine was observed on emotional type symptoms (depression, irritability and tiredness). No significant effect was observed on premenstrual symptoms of any other type.
PIP: Researchers initiated a randomized double blind crossover trial as part of a community based postal survey of menstrual patterns of 68 women in England. Each woman jotted down daily the severity of symptoms (e.g., depression, headache, etc.). After this 1st study cycle and being randomly assigned to the pyridoxine or placebo group, they either took 50 mg/day of pyridoxine or placebo tablets for 3 months. At the end of 3 months, they followed the other treatment. 37 women completed 6 months and only 32 completed the full 7 months. The results of the study show pyridoxine to significantly affect emotional type symptoms (depression, irritability, and tiredness [p.05]), but not somatic (headache, breast discomfort, swollen abdomen, swollen hands or feet) or menstrual (stomach cramps, backache, other) symptoms. Women who took oral contraceptives (OCs) had nonsignificant higher adjusted premenstrual symptom scores, particularly for emotional type symptoms, during both pyridoxine and placebo months that did those who did not take OCs. This study was complicated by a placebo effect. It revealed a significant decrease in the level of all symptom scores from the 1st month to the 4th month by a mean of 57% (p=.001) when the women took the placebo initially. Emotional type symptoms decreased by 69% (p.05), somatic type by 52% (p.05), and menstrual type nonsignificantly by 15%. On the other hand, when women took the placebo after taking pyridoxine for a month, the combined level of all symptom scores only increased 37% on average (nonsignificant). Based on the results of this study, pyridoxine appears to alleviate premenstrual depression. Further research is needed to confirm the results of this and other similar studies.

Tobacco use is exceedingly high among those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness but not commonly addressed by clinicians. Taking Texas Tobacco Free (TTTF) is a tobacco control program that addresses known clinician barriers to intervention (e.g., low training receipt, limited resources). Here, we examine the process and outcomes of TTTF’s adaptation within four agencies that provide housing or other services to individuals who are homeless or vulnerably housed. Pre- and post-implementation data were collected from clinicians (N = 68) to assess changes in training receipt, knowledge, and intervention behaviors, relative to program goals. Results indicated significant gains in clinicians’ receipt of training in 9 (of 9) target areas (p’s ≤ 0.0042) and a 53% knowledge gain (p < 0.0001). From pre- to post-implementation, there were mean increases in the use of the 5As (ask, advise, assess, assist, and arrange) and other evidence-based interventions for tobacco cessation, with significant gains seen in assisting residents/clients to quit, arranging follow-ups, and providing or referring for non-nicotine medications (p’s ≤ 0.0491). All program goals, except gains related to advising smokers to quit and the use of specific interventions (behavioral counseling), were met. Overall, TTTF improved clinicians’ capacity to address tobacco use among homeless and vulnerably housed individuals and can serve as a model for tobacco control efforts in similar agencies.

Kajol is busy promoting her upcoming film, 'Helicopter Eela' and the latest film promotion news is that Kajol recreated Tabu's famous 90s song 'Ruk Ruk' for her film. On seeing the song, Tabu met Kajol and took to her social media to share pictures. And well, they looked absolutely gorgeous as they met each other after a long time.
We also got a glimpse of how their fashion has evolved since the 90s. Kajol donned an attire by Anoli Shah. She looked graceful in her ensemble that consisted of an intricately done white-hued camisole top, which she paired with a rust-hued overlapping bottom. The bottom of her ensemble was flared and complemented beautifully with her white top.
The actress notched up her look with a floor-length jacket, which celebrated traditional Indian fabric and was adorned with meticulous floral details. Kajol accessorised her look with ethnic jhumkis from Hyperbole Accessories. Her metallic bracelets came from the label Silver Streak. Her makeup was minimal and she rounded off her look with a loose ponytail.
The original 'Ruk Ruk' girl, Tabu wore a brown-hued trench dress that we so loved. It was an autumn-worthy number, which was full-sleeved and accentuated by sharp sartorial cuts. Her dress had a button-down feature occupying the center and she paired her ensemble with beige-hued pencil heels, a delicate bangle, and complementing hoop earrings. Tabu's makeup was highlighted by pink touches and she side-combed her long wavy tresses.
Tabu and Kajol both gave us fall season fashion goals. We are impressed by their latest outfits.

Previous publications from this clinic have described a wet, glistening appearance of the entire retina that is frequently associated with toxemia of pregnancy and glomerulonephritis.1, 2 Since this retinal sheen was not present in normal pregnant patients, in patients with other types of edema, or in patients with chronic hypertensive vascular disease, it was suggested that its recognition might be useful in the diagnosis of toxemia and the differentiation of toxemia from hypertensive vascular disease. Although further experience in a larger series of patients has strengthened these preliminary impressions, such claims have been based on purely subjective experience. No data

“Laura Smiles” is an alarmingly effective portrait of a woman’s mental breakdown. We are introduced to “Laura” at her happiest time, in a warm, loving relationship with her fiancé (a very appealing Kip Pardue) in the city, literally the love of her life. In flashbacks, we then see the sweet development of this relationship out of order as these moments become brightly lit and colored memories that desperately intrude on her later in life, as she becomes consumed with guilt and remorse over his fate. These feelings start to overwhelm her current life as a wife and mother. As something inconsequential in what she calls her “suburban drudgery” triggers the past — in the supermarket, cooking, cleaning, at a school play– she acts out increasingly aberrantly to counteract the feelings they generate, especially when she can no longer distinguish past from present from dreams, recalling Blanche Du Bois.

Sometimes, traveling takes a lot of effort. This is because you are in charge of everything. This includes everything from planning your destination, to figuring out how you are going to get there (and where you are going to sleep once you get there), to calculating how much money you are going to spend once you arrive there. In addition to all of that, you also need to mentally prepare yourself for the experience. With this in mind, it is safe to say that traveling can be pretty tough sometimes, which usually takes even more effort, regardless of how experienced you are as a traveler. With this in mind, it is safe to say that traveling can be pretty hard sometimes.
When you hit the road, you want to make the most out of your trip. You want to make some good memories, take some good photos, and meet some nice people. But keep in mind that safety should always be at the very top of your priorities list. And now, here are three things that you simply need to do when traveling to a new place. Please, enjoy!
Try Different Types of Food
Every country has a special dish, fruit, or delicacy that it is known for. Of course, there is a big chance that you have already tried burritos from your local restaurant, but nothing compares to a dish that is prepared by professionals and at a place where it had originated from. Trying out different types of food when you travel should always be on your to-do list.
Enjoy the Weather
The last thing that you want to do when traveling to a new place is complain about something. If you decide to climb a popular mountain to ski, don’t complain about the cold weather. Enjoy the weather! If the locals see that you are having fun, they will love and respect you even more.
Talk to Locals
It is pretty much safe to say that you can never know a certain place better than the locals do. After all, they grew up in that place, and they usually know everything that there is to know about it. So, talk to locals and ask them about the history of the place. If you show them that you are interested in their place, they will enjoy talking to you.

The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. (ESV)
The Psalms are beautiful Hebrew poetry. They have different rules of meter and rhyme, but one consistent them in Hebrew poetry is parallelisms and contrast. With parallelisms they will use different illustrations and words to repeat the same theme. We saw this in the first three verses of this first Psalm. After describing the righteous, or "blessed" man, verse 4 makes a sharp transition to contrast.
"The wicked are not so." The contrast of the blessed man is the wicked man. Interestingly, the opening verse declared that the blessed man does not even walk in the same places as the wicked. They are not the same, and they do not associate as if they are. In verse 3 the Psalmist used an illustration from nature to describe the blessed man; a lush, fruitful, strong tree. In verse 4 the Psalmist also uses an illustration from nature. The wicked are described as chaff.
If you have an agricultural background you know what chaff is. Dr. John MacArthur gives us a simple definition: "A frequent OT word picture from harvest time for what is unsubstantial, without value, and worthy only to be discarded" (Dr. John MacArthur, Online Study Bible Notes). Consider the contrast. The blessed man is a strong tree. The winds may blow, but it stands strong in righteousness. The chaff? They are blown away. The unrighteous will not stand in the day of Judgment.
What are you? A tree of righteousness, enjoying the blessed relationship of God? Or is your life being blown away as you chase after wickedness? Only following God is a life of blessing. If you call to him he will plant you by streams of His righteousness.

Elite 2021 DT, No. 1 player in South Carolina creatively announces all-SEC top 4
College football fans who follow recruiting are aware that prospects name their top teams throughout their recruitments. Some recruits will name a “leader” in an interview, but top-team lists shared on social media typically make the point of saying they’re in no order as prospects like to keep everyone guessing. The No. 1 player in South Carolina decided to take a different approach.
Gaffney defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins divided his top teams into “leaders,” “contenders,” and “dark horses” in a graphic naming his all-SEC final 4 posted to his Instagram story on Friday. The elite defensive tackle has the home state Gamecocks and Tennessee Volunteers as his leaders while Georgia is tabbed as a contender with Alabama being the dark horse among his final 4.
Listed at 6-5, 298 pounds, Ingram-Dawkins is rated 4-stars, the No. 1 recruit in South Carolina, No. 17 defensive tackle and No. 282 prospect overall nationally on the 247Sports Composite. He has received 26 scholarship offers.

The Atlantic girls varsity basketball team took on the Creston Panthers Monday, Feb. 6 in the Atlantic High School gymnasium. The trojans at 1-18 were searching for the second win of the season against the 8-11 panthers.
The game was close throughout but that panthers big second quarter helped them pull away with the 62-53 win. Senior Catherine Leonard led the trojans again recording 19 points while freshman Mckenzie Waters recorded 9. Not far behind was Sophomore Baylee Newell dropping 8. Leonard also led the team again with 10 rebounds which adds to another team leading total of 201 rebounds.
The Trojans will take on the Clarinda Cardinals in their final regular season game tonight, Tuesday, Feb. 7, at the Atlantic Middle School. Tip off for the game is set for 4:30 p.m.


There is a Right Way to shoot…
Going to the gun range in the Wildlife Management Area or the local chirt-pit is always an interesting experience. You never know what you’ll see. Sometimes you see Military veterans who are an excellent marksman with their long-distance rifles. Sometimes you see older men teaching their grandchildren with .22’s putting holes in pumpkins. And sometimes you see good ol’ boys having a great time shooting shotgun casings off of the fence post. Everyone I have met there is passionate about gun safety, conservation, proper land management, and our constitutional freedoms. But something I have learned from watching his vast array of people – proper shooting technique is critical if you want to shoot well.
We have all seen the YouTube videos of people getting knocked down when they shoot a gun. This is all because the shooter didn’t know what they what they were doing. They are using improper shooting technique, so the force of the felt recoil knocks them off balance. This doesn’t have to happen.
I love to watch trick shooting competitions. Gerry Michalek makes it look so easy. Watching the competitions is not only awe-inspiring, but it is highly educational. I can’t do much yet, but I can shoot the Annie Oakley Trick (standing backward, shooting over your shoulder, holding a hand mirror) with a .22 revolver. One day I’ll be able to do more. Until then, I’ll keep on reading articles about technique, watching the Great Marksmen, and practicing.
Please keep in mind, these recommendations are for target shooting, not necessarily the same tactics used in defensive situations. I can’t recommend enough the value of defensive shooting training. If you carry to protect your loved ones, get the training. It’s an invaluable tool that can keep your loved ones safe when every second counts.
Always assume the gun is loaded. Everyone needs to be taught gun safety – even children. Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to shoot; make sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. Never put your finger on the trigger until your ready to shoot.
Keep your eyes and ears protected. Always.
While practicing the correct grip and stance – its best to go ahead and be standing at the range and facing downrange. Make sure the gun is empty. Remove the magazine – no, it’s not a “clip” – and pull back the slide a few times to ensure that the chamber is empty. Lock the slide open and reinsert an empty magazine. Release the slide so that it can go forward. Now you’re ready to dry fire!
Breathing is one of the most underutilized aspects of shooting. Learning to breathe slowly, and deep. Timing your breath with your heartbeat and at the stillest moment in your body, pull the trigger. That respiratory pause is a moment when your chest muscles are completely relaxed. Remember, tension anywhere but your wrists and hands will ruin accuracy. Some trainers will tell pistol shooters to inhale as they raise their pistol to the target, hold their breath as they squeeze the trigger, and exhale during the follow through. I’ve tried both, but I prefer shooting during the natural respiratory pause – this method will carry over rifle shooting, shotgun, and archery.
There are three main standing shooting stances, the Isosceles, the Weaver and the Modified Weaver. From what I’ve seen in competition shooting, most of “the Greats” use the Isosceles. You should stand comfortably, your shoulders relaxed. You won’t shoot well being really stiff or tense in your shoulders. Keep your arms fully extended, when possible, but not locked.
Some trainers will tell you to stand a little sideways with one leg way out in front of you – but you will actually hinder yourself if you do this. It limits your range of motion. Stand squarely facing your target. One foot can be slightly in front, but not much. Keep your feet about shoulder-width apart. Your knees can bend just a little – don’t let them lock up.
Your shoulders need to be forward. Its a fairly natural stance. Don’t hunch your shoulders up or duct your head down. Stay relaxed and lean forward slightly. Keep them in front of your hips. Never lean backward. Shooting properly with a pistol requires you to stand slightly leaning forward. Your weight has to have a forward bias in order to counteract the felt recoil. If the felt recoil throws off your balance, lean forward a smidgen more. This allows you to have more control over the gun, to prevent muzzle rise, and to get back on target.
You’ll want to bring the gun up to your dominant eye. Don’t turn your head. This needs to be as natural and automatic of a stance as possible. If you don’t bring the gun up to your dominant eye, you’ll hunch your shoulders or tilt your head – and that’s altogether just too much movement.
A Firm Grip
Proper grip is key to making sure the muzzle stays pointed at the target. The more upwards rise in your muzzle, the more time it takes to get back on target. Also, if your muzzle rises while your bullet is still exiting the barrel, it will throw off your accuracy.
The grip is another one of those areas that a great many shooters will disagree with. Judging from experience as well as from listening to numerous YouTube interviews of competition shooters – some grip techniques are better than others.
Keep both hands on your gun. This will give you tighter groupings as you have more control over the gun. Don’t use your non-dominant hand to brace your wrist, or hold the bottom of your gun grip – that’s called Teacupping and it serves absolutely no purpose at all. Your non-dominant hand serves as a vital stabilizer. If your non-dominant hand is not pretty tired from a long day on the range, you’re not using it enough.
Make sure the center of the frame of your gun lines up along the center of your arm – along with the Ulna bone. This helps the recoil to be centrally and directly back so that it is more easily managed and you stay on target better.
Your non-dominant hand is to cover as much as the exposed area of the side of the grip as possible. This is very important. Recoil moves along the path of least resistant – so the more control you have over the movement of your gun, the less felt recoil and the more accurate you will shoot. Your non-dominant hand is slightly more forward on the gun than your dominant hand.
Your elbows need to be relaxed, but not floppy. Not locked either. They need to be secure. Hold your pistol with a very firm grip – a little stronger than a good strong handshake. This is not a death grip. There is no need in holding it so tight that your hand shakes. A firm grip reduces the amount of movement your non-trigger fingers will have – which is better for accuracy.
Your wrists need to be locked over center, and you press inward with both hands holding your gun in place. Like Gerry Michalek says, “Don’t noodle” – the front of your gun can’t wobble. You need to be aware of, and in such control of each movement, your gun makes that it is like an extension of your hand. This comes from pressing from your wrists to hold the gun firmly on target. It feels awkward at first – keeping very firmly on center without tensing up in your arms and shoulders.
You’ll want your thumbs to be on the same side as your non-dominant hand. Your thumbs will point generally towards the target. They don’t really do much, just sit over there out of the way. Your non-dominant fingers have a bit of wiggle room too. They can be over or under the trigger guard – this preference can vary between the way various pistols fit your hand. Whichever one ensures you have a solid grip, one that allows you to naturally hold the gun on target. Do keep your thumbs still – if you tend to rotate your thumb as you pull the trigger, it will cause you to miss your target in the direction you rotate your thumb. This grip error is called thumbing.
Grip your gun so that the webbing between your thumb and trigger finger is as high up on the grip as possible. The lower in your hand the action sits, the more straight back into your arm the felt recoil will travel. This helps to control muzzle travel and reduces the snappiness of felt recoil. This interesting rule of physics is one of the main thoughts behind the design of the pistol called the Rhino. Ugly gun – but great engineering.
Aligning Your Sights
“Aim small, miss small” is the mantra my Grandaddy said when he was teaching me to shoot. Don’t just aim for the large red bulls-eye. Look at the center speck in that bullseye. Aim for that.
Sight Alignment is dependant upon your firearm being properly sighted in. If you are shooting really tight groupings at the 5- yard line, but then at the 20-yard line they are significantly off center – it may be wise to talk to your local gunsmith.
Just to clarify, sight alignment is simply the relationship between the front and rear sights of the handgun. If the top of your front sight is not perfectly level with the top of your rear sight, then you will be shooting either too high or too low. And if your front sight does not have an equal amount of air-space on either side showing through, then you will be shooting to the left or right of your target.
These two variables lined up correctly creates an accurate Sight Picture. If you are shooting and the target is just littered with holes and you really can’t tell what you’re doing wrong – your probably focusing too much on the target instead of the front sight. When you are focused on the front sight, the rear sight and the target will be slightly blurred. This blurring of the target throws off a lot of new shooters.
Pulling the Trigger
Pulling the trigger is different from mashing or squeezing the trigger. A controlled, deliberate, methodical, straight back pull is what you need to do. If you mash or squeeze, you will move your gun and throw off your sight picture.
You will need the center part of your index finger to be centrally on the trigger. Not the tip. Not the first knuckle as shown in the photo above. The padding directly under your nail bed is what needs to be centrally on the trigger, which is parallel to the gun’s frame. This portion of your finger is called the Distal Phalanx. If you are off center, your gun will pull to the left or right.
If too much of your finger is on the trigger, it’s called snatching. It will cause you to hit to the side of your target. If you’re right-handed, you will hit to the right of your target. If too little of your finger is on the trigger, it’s called pushing. This will cause you to hit to the other side of your target. Another common issue is heeling. This is when you squeeze the bottom of the grip too hard as you depress the trigger, sending it slightly forward. This will cause you to hit slightly above your target.
Don’t anticipate the recoil. Allow yourself to be surprised by the sound of the gun firing. If you anticipate the recoil, your front sight will drop as you depress the trigger. Stay focused on your front sight as you depress the trigger.
Follow through is critical. It is what allows the projectile to completely exit the muzzle, and remain faithfully on target. It is allowing the bullet to exit the muzzle – a pause after you pull the trigger. You maintain sight picture during follow through. Any jerking motions can cause the muzzle to shift as the bullet is exiting and throw off your accuracy.
It is hard to know if you have any subtle movements – so having a friend stand just outside of your arch of peripheral vision and watch you is helpful. If our friend notices that you have to readjust your gun back into position instead of the gun falling into a natural point of aim.
Trigger reset is what happens when after a shot is fired, the slide has slid back, the spent cartridge ejected, the slide comes forward, a new round is chambered and the trigger moves back to the front. On many firearms, the trigger may not have to go all the way forward in order for it to be reset and ready to fire. Some Glocks reset just shy of being all the way forward, you’ll know it when you feel it click.
If you hold your finger just forward of the reset, you’ll have a shorter trigger pull and can fire off the next round much faster – and in competition shooting, timing is crucial. Dry firing will help you learn where your trigger break is.
Follow through allows you to be ready to accurately fire a follow-up shot. You are already on target and don’t have to waste valuable seconds correcting your sight picture. This is vital to not only competition shooting, but for self-defense purposes. It is impractical to anticipate that ONE single shot will stop whoever is attacking you. You have to be diligent and prepared – and a big part of that is correct follow through.
When shooting, keep it simple. It all boils down to remain relaxed, have a proper sight picture, pull the trigger, and follow through.
So why not head on over to your local gun range and practice? Practice is the only way to improve! Don’t just shoot to burn through ammo – make a conscious effort to make each motion be deliberate, each shot a learning experience.

Spotlight on Grants: Research Visit Grant
Issue: Fleming Prize Winners
20 October 2020 article
Research Visit Grants support a variety of short visits to host laboratories with the aim of supporting innovative projects within established collaborations and to develop new collaborative initiatives.
Last year, BHF-funded postdoctoral research associate Dr Sylviane Yoba (University of Bristol, UK) was awarded a grant to support her research visit to the Cardiovascular Infection Research Group led by Professor Steve Kerrigan in RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, Ireland. The aim of this visit was to investigate the interactions between Streptococcus gordonii and human vascular endothelium. It was hoped that these studies would provide a better understanding of how the progression of infective endocarditis may occur if infectious microbes in the bloodstream attach to damaged areas of the heart.
Sylviane said that the visit benefitted her professional development as she developed new scientific techniques, as well as non-scientific skills, such as laboratory management. “Acquiring these experiences are beneficial as they are always attractive in terms of collaboration and recruitment.”
Over the course of the visit, Sylviane was able to develop a range of new skills, as well as advancing her knowledge of working with endothelial cells. By challenging human aortic endothelial cells with bacteria under shear stress conditions that mimic those of the cardiovascular system, and visualising their interactions via fluorimetry, immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy, Sylviane was able to determine the molecular mechanisms exploited by S. gordonii for binding to the luminal layer of the cardio vasculature and understand how this process can subsequently enhance interactions with blood platelets, with potential to exacerbate infection of the heart.
Sylviane said the highlight of her visit was “being able to develop a model that brought together bacteria, cardiac endothelial cells and platelets under shear stress, thereby closely mimicking the conditions that enable infective endocarditis to occur. Given the complexity of the model, we were not sure whether our experimental plan would work, and so we were delighted when we were able to observe platelets attaching to infected endothelial cells.”
The studies Sylviane completed during her visit allowed for the identification of potential endothelial cell receptors and, going forward, Sylviane would like to investigate the role of these receptors in detail.
Applications for the Research Visit Grant open twice a year, in January and June, with deadlines in April and October, respectively. To find out more about the wide range of grants available to support Microbiology Society members, visit the grants area of our website.

Love Funding, one of the nation’s leading providers of FHA multifamily, affordable and healthcare financing, today announced the introduction of a new bridge financing program designed to provide interim funding support for acquisition and refinancing applications on U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development multifamily and healthcare loans.
The program will provide bridge financing of up to three years for qualified borrowers seeking long-term HUD financing to acquire, refinance, or take equity out of a multifamily or healthcare project. Suitable multifamily projects include market-rate, affordable and age-restricted housing, while healthcare projects include skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care facilities. The new program was made possible by Love Funding’s recent acquisition by Midland States Bank, which gave the lender access to additional capital.
The likely candidates for bridge financing face time constraints or require debt seasoning – the amount of time the existing debt has been in place – to comply with HUD requirements. For instance, timing is often an issue for acquisitions due to purchase contracts that require a borrower to close quicker than a HUD transaction can be completed. Similarly, existing debt that is expiring can present the same challenge. The new bridge financing program will also give healthcare borrowers the opportunity to take equity out of their project and season for two years before applying for HUD financing, and for multifamily and healthcare property owners to transition from construction loans to long-term HUD financing for projects constructed or rehabilitated within the last three years.
“There are a number of reasons why bridge financing makes HUD’s multifamily and healthcare programs more attractive to would-be borrowers, and we are excited to deliver this solution to our existing and future clients,” said Jonathan S. Camps, a senior vice president in Love Funding’s Washington D.C. headquarters and a member of the executive management team.
The bridge-to-HUD program will provide Love Funding’s clients an interim financing option when quick executions are required or HUD regulations dictate the need for interim financing. Love Funding will soon expand its platform even further by offering tax credit equity bridge loans, as well as conventional financing for multifamily and healthcare new construction. The program will offer terms ranging from six months to three years, amortizations up to 25 years, and competitive pricing. Loan-to-value requirements will vary by property type.

Driving through Water: a Bad Idea.

With the recent (and on-going) destruction related to Hurricane Sandy, many people who decided not to follow mandatory evacuation orders have found themselves in difficult if not deadly situations. Devastating winds, flying debris and, perhaps the most dangerous, rising flood waters. One common mistake that people make is attempting to drive their vehicle through these rising flood waters. With the unpredictable weather here in Texas, and several coastal communities such as Corpus Christi and Galveston, most Texans have at one time or another driven through high water during a flash flood, tropical storm or even a hurricane. Sure, we like our big trucks in Texas but even trucks are susceptible to the power of rising flood waters. You’ve also probably heard the National Weather Service’s public service slogan: “turn around, don’t drown,” but at what point does driving your vehicle through flood waters actually become dangerous?
According to the Department of Transportation, nearly half of all flood fatalities occur inside a motor vehicle. With floods presenting one of the largest and most common hazards to drivers in the United States, here is some helpful information from the Texas Driver Handbook about the effect of water on your vehicle and your ability to drive:
- Only 6 inches of water is enough to reach the bottom of most cars. This can cause you to lose control of the vehicle and possibly stall your engine.
- 12 inches of water is enough to make most cars float!
- 2 feet of rushing water is powerful enough to lift and carry away trucks, suvs, and most other vehicles.
- Two fee of rushing water will carry away pick-up trucks, SUVs, and most other vehicles.
- Water can conceal weakened or collapsed roadways and bridges, sometimes causing these structures to collapse under the weight of an unsuspecting driver’s vehicle.
The National Weather Service warns that if your vehicle becomes stalled in rising floodwater, get out quickly and move to higher ground. The best option is to turn around and drive the other way whenever
you see water on the road. Saving your life is as simple as choosing an alternate route.
