The Autonomous Societally Inspired Mission Oriented Vehicles (ASIMOV) Program, spearheaded by the University of the Philippines Mindanao (UPMin) in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology – Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI), officially commenced on June 15, 2021 with the first project meeting (in the first photo).
ASIMOV is the flagship R&D program of the DOST in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AI-Robotics), with a total budget of around P54 million.
Prof. Jose Ildefonso U. Rubrico, Ph.D., ASIMOV program leader, said that the program is the first of its kind in the Philippines. It is aimed at developing autonomous robots to be deployed in the field under real-life conditions, particularly in unstructured and dynamic environments.
“This is a crucial step in the 'autonomation' of various practical applications in industry and services for the public good, for example, in rough-terrain agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, or search and rescue, among many others,” Dr. Rubrico said.
The program’s objective is to develop core technologies needed by aerial and land-based robots for independent navigation and collision avoidance, vision-based feature detection, environmental mapping, and communication capabilities. Furthermore, these intelligent platforms are meant to be able to cater to a variety of situations and perform tasks specific to particular missions in an application area.
"This entails using payloads to provide data on relevant application-specific features like the detection of a deadly crop disease," Dr. Rubrico added.
The ASIMOV program comprises two (2) projects. Its aerial component is the Harmonized Aerial Watch and Knowledge-based Survey (HAWKS) Project, which will tackle the development of core technologies necessary for the autonomous deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Implemented by UP Mindanao, the HAWKS project was launched together with the ASIMOV program on June 15, 2021.
Meanwhile, the land-based component of the ASIMOV program is the Robot for Optimized and Autonomous Mission-Enhancement Response (ROAMER) Project implemented by the Department of Science and Technology - Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI).
Stakeholders both in industry and the academe have already shown interest and support in the use of the technologies to be developed by the ASIMOV program.
The ASIMOV program is a three-year AI-Robotics initiative funded by the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).
On April 8, 2021, DOST-PCIEERD officially unveiled nine (9) projects on AI research and development, including the two component projects of the ASIMOV program. Also, on June 24, the DOST Science for Change Program held the Launching of DOST AI Programs and Technologies – AI for a Better Normal (in the second photo), wherein key application areas were identified in which the technologies developed by the ASIMOV program could be harnessed.

This is what Dr Stuart Fancey, Director of Research and Innovation at the Scottish Funding Council, had to say about the workshop in a recent article in Holyrood:
“What the delegates had to say about collaboration was informed by experiences and insights gained during the pandemic. They wanted the future to be based on transdisciplinary partnerships – beyond the interdisciplinary approaches of the past to one where disciplines combine to form a new force for discovery. And, they wanted these partnerships to include data scientists, social scientists, health economists and NHS procurement teams as well as biologists, clinicians and the pharmaceutical industry. That creative thinking chimes with the SFC review.”

Guns Springfield Armory M1A Now In 6.5 Creedmoor Industry News December 8, 2017 Join the Conversation Written by Jacki Billings Springfield Armory rolls out a new variant on its M1A platform, unveiling the 6.5 Creedmoor M1A. The latest M1A ditches .308 Win, in favor of the new fan favorite 6.5 Creedmoor. Springfield says the round offers shooters on the M1A platform high muzzle velocity and low recoil paired with extreme long range accuracy. Measuring between 44-inches and 46.25-inches, depending on stock option, the Creedmoor M1A tips scales right around 11-pounds. The M1A is dripping with National Match Grade features to include its barrel, trigger, and sights. The rifle delivers a National Match Grade, 22-inch stainless steel barrel. The medium weight barrel provides a 4-groove 1:8 right-handed twist with muzzle brake. The trigger, also NM, is a 2-stage design with pull weight hovering around the 4.5 to 5-pound mark. Topping off the NM features are a pair of NM iron sights. Adjustable for 1/2 MOA windage and 1 MOA elevation, the NM rear sight boasts a non-hooded .0520 aperture. The NM .062 front post sight married with the 22-inch barrel delivers a long sight radius for what the company terms “outstanding iron sight accuracy.” The barrel and NM branded extras sit within either a solid, black composite or precision-adjustable stocks. The adjustable stock model offers shooters their choice of standard black or the ever-popular, always tacticool Flat Dark Earth. Springfield CEO Dennis Reese said Springfield chose the 6.5 Creedmoor to service more long range shooters. “Having a 6.5 Creedmoor caliber in the M1A lineup gives long-range shooters more choices with the precision and accuracy they require,” said Reese in a statement. “They can choose the round they prefer, and take advantage of the legendary accuracy of the M1A platform to make the most of their shooting prowess.” The 6.5 Creedmoor has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the past couple of years due to its solid construction. Originally developed by Hornady, the 6.5 Creedmoor delivers 140-grain factory loads at 2,710 feet-per-second out past 1,200 yards — making it the new darling in the precision, long range community. Springfield’s M1A looks to capitalize on the 6.5 Creedmoor’s success, supplying one more option for long range shooters to choose. A 10 round magazine accompanies the 6.5 Creedmoor M1A which promotes a $1,985 price for the composite stock and $2,045 for the precision-adjustable stock. The M1A is California approved with the black composite stock only. Looking for the best scope for m14 sniper rifles? Need an automatic ranging scope for your M1A?

SAN MARCOS – Growing up in a small town in Alabama, young Margaret Pellegrini had no showbiz aspirations.
But a chance encounter with a performing group landed her a role in one of the most beloved movies of all time.
What: Land of Oz Munchkin Street Fair and Kiwanis Child Safety and Family Resource Day
When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
Where: San Marcos Civic Center, 1 Civic Center Drive
Information: (760) 744-9000
"I was visiting my sister in Memphis and this group of little people spotted me and asked if I wanted to be in their midget show," recalled Pellegrini, who grew to be 4 feet tall. "I told them I was only 13 and wasn't ready to leave home."
Two years later, the group gave her name to a Hollywood casting agent for "The Wizard of Oz."
This time, Pellegrini was ready. She was cast as a Munchkin in the 1939 film.
After another movie and a few years as a dancer, she married and raised a family.
In 1985, an invitation to the birthday party of an Oz fan led to a second career for Pellegrini. Since then, the 82-year-old great-grandmother has been making appearances with fellow Munchkin Clarence Swensen at fairs and other events across the country. Her travels have taken her to Philadelphia; New York City; Grand Rapids, Minn., and Liberal, Kan.
"After all these years, I'm still surprised at how much people love the movie," said Pellegrini, who will appear at San Marcos' third annual Land of Oz Street Fair and Kiwanis Child Safety and Family Resource Day on Saturday. "Children ask me if I was scared of the Wicked Witch; what it was like to work with Judy Garland; and how I got the role."
Pellegrini will meet and greet her fans in costume – a replica of what she wore in the movie, and her signature flowerpot hat.
"I am really looking forward to it. I hope to make a lot of new friends in San Marcos," she said.
Appearing along with Pellegrini will be Swensen in a replica of his soldier costume from the film.
Swensen, 87, lives in Texas. His movie career was short-lived after "The Wizard of Oz." After a 28-year career as an electronics technician at the University of Texas, he began to make appearances at Oz festivals in the late 1980s.
"This is the Munchkins' way of returning to the public what they gave us," Swensen said.
The Land of Oz festival will have plenty of other attractions, including hands-on activities, karate and dance performances, a magic show and food booths. At 2 p.m., a cast of 40 young actors from Theatre West will present "The Wizard of Oz" at the San Marcos Community Center.
Children can participate in a coloring contest. Winners will be treated to lunch with Pellegrini and Swensen. The entry deadline is Wednesday. Coloring posters can be picked up at the San Marcos Community Center, 3 Civic Center Drive.
The Kiwanis Club of San Marcos will bring together about 35 groups who will offer health and safety information. Among them will be sheriff's deputies and representatives from the fire department. There will be free finger-printing for children.
"Kiwanis has a major focus on families and children," said Carrie Clevers, club secretary. "Safety and health are primary to a happy childhood."

Here goes my continuation, I just couldn’t finish it last night. I was just too tired.
And so here is my OTJ experience. We sat there inside the building waiting for the movie to begin. I was in the 6pm screening by the way. We got inside at around 7 and waited for more than thirty minutes for the film. A kind of program took place and tickets were given away. Technical problems came in and people were a little bored by them… And the movie was on.. I won’t tell the stories plot, it is for everyone to watch and find out. 😉
I was never really fond of action, thrillers but this was definitely worth the watch. The film was action-filled. It had a plot-line that not everyone would expect from a Filipino movie. It showcased verisimilitude and just caught most of the viewers in awe. It has every bit of humour, love, sex, drugs, corruption, truth, action, family and ugh name it, I think it’s there. :))) I am not a good film critic, but it sure deserve the overwhelming appreciation it gets from outside of the country. And yes, I do hope that Filipinos find the time to watch it and appreciate this wonderful work of art.
It really is a must watch! 🙂

Shaukat M Zafar
As narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said “The Hour (The Day of Judgment) will not be established until knowledge will be taken away, earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow against you”. (Hadith No.1 Vol.I) Education has always been the engine of human progress and development. A well known philosopher Aristotle some more than 2000 years ago had said “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet” which still ring true today. In other words it may cost the nation some money and time of individuals to keep on learning, but the results always worth it. Economic and social development is inconceivable in a country that neglects the education of its people.
Pakistan is absolutely uncertain where our country is heading. Its destination is still unknown. Pakistan is the country which has no minister for education. In Pakistan, no educational qualification is required to be part of the Parliament. So called Public Representatives therefore do not know the importance of education at local level. They send their own children abroad to get education so they need not to worry about the education within the country. Ruling elite do not want common people to get educated and promoting illiteracy. They need the status quo to prolong their retention in the power but if the poor people are get educated, they cannot be befooled anymore then who will serve and vote for this extremely corrupt elite.
Unfortunately, PPP and PML-N so called ‘democratic’ governments at the federal and provincial levels have been guilty of dereliction of their basic duty of educating the children and the youth on whom the future of the country depends. Despite the devolution of power to provincial governments, the woes of public sector educational institutions have not improved at all rather it has worsened. Both the governments bear the entire responsibility for this shameful neglect of education
The simple criteria to determine the real priority of the government attached to any sector is to look at the resources allocated in the budget for that sector. Just take an example of the situation of education in Islamabad run under the Ministry of Capital Administration and Development (CAD). Last year the federal government irrelevantly allocated Rs one billion to the Education Ministry, having nothing to do with the education of Islamabad, to introduce reforms in the Capital territory. The whole is now going to be lapsed but no reform has taken place in Islamabad, perhaps those reforms have been carried out in papers. The federal government also did not feel any need to enhance the development budgets of the Education Ministry and the HEC last year. Inadequate spending on education during so called ‘democratic’ regimes has left Pakistan lagging far behind even the African countries.
Allocating spending even less than 2 percent of GDP on education is shameful, no doubt which remained far above during military regimes. Lowest spending on education has caused huge disparities in the country where public sector educational institutions, the only affordable source of education for poor, have been totally ignored. In comparison, Pak economy spent a whooping Rs 1.596 trillion (5.846 % of GDP) on debt servicing during the last year, the debt siphoned off by the ruling elite and never used to better the life of common man, where more than half of population is living below the poverty line. We are a poor nation of this rich country. Private tutors or getting education in private schools, colleges, and universities is a distant dream for this nation. The poor people cannot afford to pay the fees private schools demand. There are a huge number of masked talents being destroyed in rural and poor urban areas which are required to be unveiled with proper opportunity.
The government should not shrink its responsibility through privatization. It should improve and strengthen the public sector schools instead of their loot sale like other privatized entities. Misappropriations in public sector educational institutions should be controlled. Once the teachers were ill paid but now the situation has altogether changed. Now they are getting good salaries many times more than their counterparts in private schools. The government is incurring huge funds in shape of salary and perks with almost zero contribution to the society. Low performing teachers should be made strictly accountable and their salaries should be tagged with their performance. Political corruption in the appointment of teachers and heads of educational institutions are one of the main reasons for inferior quality of education which may now come to an end.

Baku, Azerbaijan, March 8
By Fakhri Vakilov - Trend:
Uzbekistan plans to continue the liberalization of monetary policy that was launched in September 2017, Trend reports via Uzbek media.
The first step in this direction was the introduction of conversion in Uzbekistan.
The head of the Central Bank, Mamariso Nurmurotov stated that Uzbek citizens will have the opportunity to receive foreign currency in cash after conversion by the end of 2019.
Currently, bags can be converted into dollars only using a Visa card. After the full liberalization, these difficulties will no longer exist.

In a big jolt the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) failed to retain the northern state of Haryana and somewhat sailed through in the western state of Maharashtra but with a poor majority.
In Haryana, the BJP are leading in about 40 seats which is five short of a simple majority, but the BJP remain the single-largest party in the state.
In Maharashtra, the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena may have lost more than 28 seats.
The results are a temporary setback for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But most importantly it comes after the government stripped the state of Jammu and Kashmir of its autonomy. In some sense this could be seen as a referendum on Modi after a change in the Kashmir policy.
In the election campaign Modi and his party talked mostly about its muscular nationalism policy and ignored local issues. The BJP predicted 200 plus seats in Maharashtra and aimed for 75 seats in Haryana. Even though these states were aggressively campaigned by Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister and BJP President Amit Shah, the results didn’t yield.
Meanwhile, the assembly election results have brought a cheer to BJP’s principal opposition party the Congress. The dynastic Congress party were leading in 31 seats in Haryana.
For the Congress or BJP to form the Government, they would need regional support from Jannayak Janata Party (JJP). However, at this moment the JJP aren’t sure who they should go with.
Maharashtra Election Results:
BJP: 100 (leads)
Shiv Sena: 57 (leads)
NCP: 53 (leads)
Congress: 43 (leads)
OTH: 26 (leads)
Haryana Election Results:
BJP: 40 (leads)
Congress: 31 (leads)
JJP: 10 (leads)
OTH: 9 (leads)

COVID claims third local law enforcement officer in a week
BARNWELL, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - Local law enforcement agencies continue to suffer a wave of losses due to COVID-19 — with the latest announcement coming from the Barnwell County Sheriff’s Office.
It comes as experts say coronavirus has become the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths for law enforcement officers in the U.S.
Barnwell County Deputy John Henry Williams III died Friday. A Facebook post from his sister confirmed he died from COVID-19.
The 29-year-old began his career with the Barnwell County Sheriff’s Office in February of this year and worked as a detention center deputy.
“He was a quite man with a big heart who genuinely cared for people,” the agency said Monday in announcing the death. “His dedication to his profession was evident in everything he did. His work ethic was an example to his peers. Deputy Williams loved his job and his coworkers. His constant positive attitude and faith will be sorely missed by all. Rest easy brother.”
He enjoyed video games, fishing and target shooting.
Funeral services will begin at 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Folk Funeral Home chapel, with burial at the Williams Family Cemetery in White Pond. The family will receive friends from 5-7 Monday at the funeral home in Williston.
The Aiken native’s death came a few days after the COVID-related death of a detention officer in Richmond County.
Richmond County Cpl. Gregory Campbell also passed away in the past week due to complications of COVID-19.
The department says Campbell was a dedicated member of the agency for 14 years. He was hired in March of 2007 and promoted to corporal in April 2021 and assigned to the Charles B. Webster Detention Center.
In a statement, the agency said:
“On behalf of Sheriff Roundtree and the entire Sheriff’s Office, we offer our prayers and condolences to the family of Cpl. Campbell. We want to remind all of our employees and the public to continue to wash your hands, wear a mask, and practice social distancing to help prevent the spread of this virus which has taken another life of one of our own.”
Campbell’s death was the agency’s second due to COVID.
On Sept. 12, Barnwell police officer Stephen Jones passed away from COVID-19.
The pandemic’s toll isn’t just a local problem.
In the first half of 2021, 71 law enforcement officials in the U.S. died from the virus — a small decrease compared to the 76 who died in the same time period in 2020, per data compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Last year, the total figure was 241 — making the virus the leading cause of law enforcement line-of-duty deaths.

A Kremlin is a Russian medieval fortress. The term is most often used to refer to the walled complex in Moscow, which houses Russia's president.
The Moscow Kremlin is a fortress located next to Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral and the Moskva River. It contains several palaces and cathedrals, including the official residence of the Russian president. The term "Kremlin" is thus often used to refer to the Russian government. This page collates all of DW's content on the Kremlin.
Russians are embracing their role as hosts for jubilent soccer fans. While some commentators say the international guests will help dispel Western media myths, others argue the exchange could undermine Kremlin control.
Two Russian pranksters have tricked UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson into believing he was on the phone with Armenian leader Nikol Pashinyan. They told Johnson that Jeremy Corbyn's aides were paid by the Kremlin.

O. T. #596 "Here I Am"
September 15, 2015
1 Samuel 12
Behold, here I am... 1 Samuel 12:3
LET IT GLOW
I recall when my kids would come home, through the door, they'd holler, "Mom." I'd answer back, "I'm in here." It was to make my presence known to them. Samuel's answer was similar when the Lord called to him. His was with the intention of surrendering his will, because the Lord knew where Samuel was.
Why did God choose Israel for His people?
It wasn't that they deserved such a choosing and grace. It was in order for God to channel His blessings to all people through the Messiah (Gen. 12:1-3). He would never abandon Israel because they were a special nation. However, He would punish them for their disobedience in order to bring them back into a right relationship with Him.
Israel asked for a king so they could be like other nations. It was not God's way, for He wanted to rule over His people. He allowed it anyway.
God desires to be the true King of every area of life. We must recognize His kingship and pattern our relationships, work life, and home life according to His principles. (Life Application Study Bible)
LET IT GROW
Samuel continued to serve the people as their priest, prophet, and judge, but Saul exercised more and more political and military control over the tribes.
Did you hear those familiar words often spoken by Samuel? "Here I am," was His response throughout Samuel's entire life (3:4, 5, 6, 8, 16). We read it here in verse 12 again.
How often do we offer our response to the Lord "Here I am?" As His servant, it should be our every response to God's speaking to us, shouldn't it?
LET IT GO
Acknowledge the Lord's presence whether at work, home, or wherever.
Surrender to the Lord with "Here I am."
*Please excuse my not posting yesterday. We have been painting the halls in our educational building at church. Saturday we have 120 teen girls and 30 adults coming for a one day Princess retreat. We needed to spruce it up a bit. Also, I am speaking in the afternoon. I covet your prayers on Saturday. Thanks ya'll. Love ya.

This Retro Design Tactic Is Taking Over Our Insta Feeds
A step-by-step guide to matching your upholstery to your walls.
As the cofounder and CEO of St. Frank textiles, Christina Bryant is constantly looking at prints and patterns. These fabrics adhere to walls, cover pillows, outfit headboards. While each practice is a tantalizing display on its own, the combination of multiple is the decor strategy most exciting to Bryant. For those who don’t subscribe to the austere qualities of minimalist interiors, might we suggest a new tactic of allowing your wallpaper motif to spill over onto other items in your home?
This methodology is steeped in the exaggerated decor tactics of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Think Diana Vreeland’s New York apartment upholstered—wall to cushion to window treatment—in the same scarlet floral pattern. Or anything Laura-Ashley–adjacent throughout the aforementioned era. Luckily, today’s samplings are wide-ranging and can work for many design styles, depending on who you ask.
As we’ve already established its maximal effect, there are no rules when it comes to implementing the tactic. That said, don’t forget you are not working in a vacuum. When executing this look in a bedroom, specifically, Bryant suggests considering the fabric of your bedding that you’re pairing with this look if you’ve specifically selected an upholstered headboard to match your walls. Switch up the proportions of your wallpaper and upholstery in comparison to the bedding so the finished design looks complementary rather than clashing.
Make sure the other fabrics feature print of an opposing scale—if your headboard and walls display an intricate toile, use something of blown-out proportions for your bedding. And start small. “If you want to get a well-styled result, compose everything in groups,”—i.e. your sofa, coffee table, and rug—says interior designer Gergei Erdei. “Accessorize the elements as a group so they work together” and with whatever background you have chosen.
If you aren’t ready to commit to allover print, you can match your hues instead. Sometimes, it’s as simple as using the same paint color on a piece of furniture as you do on your walls. Though more of a mix-and-match connoisseur himself, Erdei finds inspiration in the allover washes of bright colorways of previous decades. “There are very cool, bold examples of '50s interiors with bright shades dominating every detail of the room. If you want to go for something less statement-making, it's good to bring back the wall shade in your upholstery so they resonate better together and create a timeless result.”
Erdei is all about a grouping approach, opting for clusters of maximalist prints in specific areas. In other words, focus on one section at a time. “When it comes to the matchy-matchy approach, I would opt for maximalist prints—probably only in certain areas.” He suggests bedrooms or bathrooms to begin and reminds us to vary the scale of our prints, as well.
It’s okay to be haphazard in an abstract sense, but make sure to be precise in execution. To avoid the feeling of clutter, be sure to perfectly align your fabric with its corresponding wallpaper so the motif seamlessly continues. According to Bryant, if the patterns are mismatched, the overall look will appear busy when the goal is to create an optical illusion. When it comes to shopping, you can either source-match wallpaper and fabric, or you can quite literally upholster your walls, if you’re up to the challenge.
If this sounds too intimidating, ease in. Opt for items that take up less space like a corresponding throw pillow or ottoman perhaps. “A bedroom could be very cool with printed wallpapers and the same print on curtains or the bed cover,” hypothesizes Erdei. “This is also a great trend to use for tablescaping; decorating your dream dinner party is also a nice first step for experimentation.” A dinner party is a great excuse to get your feet wet!

I would like to comment on a recent news article (Chance To Have Your Say). I believe it is a brilliant idea that patients with disabilities are being given the chance to shape health services.
Your report stated that the North East Strategic Health Authority have been working to produce equality schemes, designed to ensure local health services meet the needs of disabled people.
A questionnaire has been launched as part of the consultation to obtain feedback from the disabled people and their carers. And feedback will be used to help the NHS ensure disabled people have equal access to health care. I would urge every one concerned to take
part in this consultation. People can complete the questionnaire on line by visiting the website www.visionsense.co.uk

Pay Attention To The Weather
Changes in the weather can impact your migraine patterns. High humidity and hot temperatures can stimulate headaches, as well as rainy days. If the weather becomes uncomfortable for you, you may need to step inside and take a break from the outdoors. Of course, you cant always avoid going outside, but you can minimize your time spent in certain headache-inducing weather.
Reasons You May Get A Headache After A Workout
Whether you workout on a daily basis or are a weekend warrior, or whether you run in the park or lift weights in the gym, it is not unusual to experience a headache after exercising. This may seem counterintuitive since physical exertion would actually seem to lessen muscle tension and increases blood flow to the brain. But many people experience throbbing, aching head pain after aerobic activity.
There are a few commonalities among those who suffer from headaches after working out. They include:
Q: What Causes Headaches When Youre Working Out
A: When you exert yourself, the muscles of the head, neck and scalp need more blood circulating. There is a an increase in blood volume in the blood vessels and this can lead to an exertional headache, or exercise-induced headache. If you often engage in strenuous, prolonged activity, youre more likely to get these headaches.
It typically occurs at the peak of a high-impact activity, such as running, aerobics, swimming and tennis, says headache specialist MaryAnn Mays, MD.
Lifting weights can also lead to weightlifters headache, she says.
Other triggers for an exercise-induced headache include:

Snack Smart To Keep Blood Sugar In A Healthy Range
Because your blood sugar decreases during exercise, its important to have a source of energy while you work out, Gaz says.
If you get cramps, you may have eaten too close to your workout, Gaz notes. And, adds Kriegler, going too long without eating can also provoke a migraine.
Head Hurt While Working Out Here’s What To Know From Doctors About Exercise Headaches
If you’re wondering why you get headaches when you exercise, you’re not alone. According to Elizabeth Barchi, MD, expert in sports medicine from NYU Langone Health, while exercise can prevent headaches and migraines, it can cause them as well. POPSUGAR spoke to her and two other experts about why headaches may happen during exercise, how to treat them, and when to see a doctor.

What Do Brain Tumour Headaches Feel Like
Headaches associated with brain tumours:
- can be throbbing or a dull ache, depending on where they are in the brain
- occur intermittently starting gradually, but fading over a few hours
- tend to get worse over time
- can resemble common migraine or tension-type headaches.
Other types of headaches
Other types of headaches include:
- tension headaches
For more information about these and other headache types, see the National Headache Foundationâs Complete Headache Chart.
Why Do I Get Ocular Migraines
Migraines are caused by cortical spreading depression, a medical term used to describe abnormal electrical activity in the brain that typically starts in the occipital lobe and spreads through the rest of the brain at a slow but steady pace. Ocular migraines may be caused by this same phenomenon that takes place in the retina of the eye.

What Are The Risk Factors Associated With Exercise
Certain triggers can increase your risk of migraines, so it pays to be aware of them. Working out in extreme conditionsâlike very hot weather or at high altitudesâcan increase your likelihood of getting a migraine, while dehydration and bad fueling are also risk factors.
Some experts believe those who already suffer from migraine headaches or have a close family member with a history of migraines are also at a higher risk for exercise-related headaches.
Whats Going On Inside Your Brain
During an exercise-induced migraineand even during a workouttheres a ton of stuff going on inside your brain, says Thomas Pitts, a board-certified neurologist with Hudson Medical & Wellness in New York.;Exercise increases the stress hormone output, increases your blood pressure, your heart rate and your respiratory rateall of which can contribute to migraines. Especially, Pitts says, if youre exercising without eating first or if you arent hydrated. Exercise and the rapid augmentation of metabolism, gut speed, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, stress hormone output, dehydration, and glucose consumption can induce a migraine state, and this pathway is referred to as exercise induced headaches, Pitts says. Its common, he says, for patients with headaches to notice that exercise worsens or even provokes them.;
Fantastic. What makes this even worse is the studies on the topic are super limited. One study reports extensive information on the sports-triggered attacks and the patients experiencing these attacks is lacking. The study looked at migraine patients who were asked if exercise had ever triggered an attack. Apparently, 38 percent of those studied had exercise-triggered migraines, regardless of gender and regardless of migraine type.
Neck pain as the initial migraine symptom was the most frequent symptom for those with these types of attacks, and more than half of those who had exercise-induced migraines abandoned the offending sport.;

Although exercise can trigger migraines and/or headaches in some people, a regular exercise routine can actually help reduce the overall number of migraines and/or headaches you experience, as well as the frequency of your symptoms.
As part of a comprehensive treatment plan for migraines and headaches, exercise can help you manage migraines and headaches safely and effectively. But what exercises are most beneficial for dealing with migraines and headaches? This article highlights the benefits of exercise as well as exercise tips for managing migraines and headaches.
Fluorescent Light Can Cause Fatigue
The harsh, unforgiving glare of fluorescent lighting is light scattering across your field of vision. This causes poor image quality. As a result, your retinas have to work harder to bring the image into focus. Since your retinas work harder to clarify the image, you will likely notice considerable strain on your eyes, particularly if the glare is compounded from working in front of a computer screen. In addition to contributing to fatigue-invoking glare, fluorescent lights are also shown to:
- Contribute to;stress;and anxiety
- Disrupt menstrual cycles
Not everyone is sensitive to the effects of fluorescent lighting, but many people are. Even if you are not particularly vulnerable, its important to know that fluorescent lights can have a considerable impact on the health of your eyes and skin.
Although fluorescent lights have a protective phosphorus coating to absorb UV radiation, this coating can breakdown with age. Research suggests UV exposure from fluorescent lights can increase your risk of eye disease as much as;12 percent. Indoor UV exposure can also;damage;skin cell DNA, contributing to premature skin aging and an increased risk of skin cancer.

How Can Exertion Headaches Be Prevented
To prevent an exertion headache:
- HYDRATE: Drink enough water that youre urine is clear or faintly yellow the day before your lift and the day of, and continue to drink water during your workout.; This will ensure that your blood can flow freely and smoothly through your blood vessels.
- BREATHE: The valsalva maneuver is a valuable tool for creating stability in the thoracic cavity that can help prevent lower back injuries during maximal lifts.; It should not, however, be used during sets of multiple repetitions. When performing multiple repetitions, exhale during the positive phase and inhale during the negative phase.;You can find more detailed information on breathing techniques here.
- NEUTRAL SPINE: Unless performing a neck exercise, there is no need for the neck to be bent. Maintaining a neutral spinal alignment allows for proper circulation through the arteries and veins responsible for moving blood in and out of the brain.; While looking up may mentally help keep the back straight during a squat or a deadlift, it is not essential.; Keep the head and neck in a neutral position.
- CONDITIONING:; Developing a healthy heart and lungs that can handle high intensity training can be accomplished with regimented cardiovascular training.; General conditioning along with interval training can help reduce the risk of exertion headaches by developing an efficient and healthy cardiovascular system that can handle the stress.
What Is An Exercise Headache
Its pretty much exactly what it sounds like, says Dr. Danan. Its a headache that comes on during or after high-intensity exercise. Youll feel these headaches throughout your entire head, unlike migraines which stick to one side. And unlike regular ol’ headaches, exercise headaches tend to throb. There are two types of exercise headaches: primary and secondary. Primary exercises headaches typically last anywhere between five minutes and 48 hours, while secondary can last a bit longer and are more severe.
Read Also: What Piercing Is For Migraines
Dehydration Is A Common Cause
Overexertion and strenuous activity often cause the body to produce more sweat, causing dehydration. A common side effect of dehydration is the development of a headache, according to the National Headache Foundation.
High altitude and exertion are also factors in causing exercise headaches because they can create an oxygen deficit in the blood and muscle tissues, which disrupts the pH balance of the blood, such as an excess of lactic acid.
Read more:How Can I Tell When My Body Is Hydrated?
Treatment Of Primary Exercise Headaches
To treat a benign primary exercise headache, your doctor may prescribe blood pressure medications or indomethacin, an anti-inflammatory drug. He may advise you to take over-the-counter medications for pain, warm up before working out and avoid exercising in heat and high humidity. If you frequently experience exercise headaches, your doctor may prescribe medication to be taken before exercise to prevent the occurrence of headaches. Consult your doctor for tips and techniques to help ward off primary headaches.
How Can You Prevent Exercise Headaches
If youre prone to exercise-induced headaches, Dr. Danan says that the best move, other than taking anti-inflammatory medications, is making sure you warm up and ease your way into the workout. This is especially helpful for when headaches are brought on by environmental elements outside your control.
Some people think anti-inflammatory diets help, too, but this isnt guaranteed. Dr. Danan doesnt reject the idea altogether, and says if it works for you, go for it. Otherwise, drink water before you sweat, eat a balanced meal, load up on electrolytes, consider the humidity and heat before you work out outdoors, and scale back the intensity as needed.
What Is The Difference Between Headache And Migraine
Migraine is a type of primary headache disorder, as is tension-type headache. The cause of neither is fully understood, but both appear to involve heightened sensitivity to stimuli, whether pain, in the case of tension headache, or environmental changes, in the case of migraine.
While head pain is a symptom of both migraine and tension headache, migraine attacks are often accompanied by nausea and are made worse with routine physical activity, while tension-type headache is not.
In addition, headaches caused by migraine typically occur on one side of the head, while tension headaches typically affect both sides.
And migraine tends to have a pulsating or throbbing quality, while the pain of a tension-type headache is described as pressing or tightening.
Having one type of primary headache disorder doesnt rule out having another. In fact, many people have both migraine and tension-type headache.

How To Treat It
If you frequently get headaches after exercising and have any other unusual symptoms, its best to make an appointment with a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions that might need treatment.
Otherwise, primary exercise headaches often stop happening on their own after a few months.
In the meantime, taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory, such as ibuprofen , can help. You can also try applying a heating pad to your head to open up the blood vessels. No heating pad? Heres how to make one at home.
Treatment Options For Primary Exercise Headache
Primary Exercise Headache is not dangerous. However, more serious causes of headache associated with exercise should be excluded.
- A review by a neurologist is required and may include brain imaging.
- Most patients with this headache syndrome find it gets better on its own within months or years.
- These headaches can be managed without medications by either extending the warm-up before exercising or reducing the intensity of exercise.
- If medications are required, you may be prescribed daily oral indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug;. In addition, you may also receive a prescription for a medicine to prevent abdominal discomfort and gastric ulcers, known as a proton pump inhibitor and includes medicines similar to omeprazole.

When To See A Doctor
While getting a headache after exercising usually isnt anything to worry about, consider making an appointment with a doctor if they seem to start happening out of the blue.
For example, if youve been doing the same exercise routine for months without any problems, but suddenly start getting headaches, see a doctor. There could be something else going on.
Its also best to see a doctor if your headaches arent responding to any treatments, including over-the-counter medications.
Don’t Turn Up The Heat
People who experience these headaches say they usually feel a throbbing head pain when they ‘go hard’ , especially in hot weather or indoor environments that are warm. That’s why it’s a good idea to avoid exercising in extreme heat. Work out early in the morning before the temperature rises, or take your exercise regime to a facility with air conditioning.

If you have migraine, you may have heard conflicting opinions about whether exercise will make your symptoms worse.
Exercise can have a bad reputation in the migraine community thats largely undeserved, says Dale Bond, PhD, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at the Miriam Hospital and Brown Alpert Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island.
A good rule of thumb: Dont exercise if youre in the middle of a;migraine attack, as it can make the pain worse, Dr. Kriegler says. When youre pain-free, on the other hand, exercising can help ward off attacks by relieving stress, a common migraine trigger.
Exercise also stimulates the release of feel-good hormones called;endorphins;and enkephalins, our bodys natural painkillers and natural;antidepressants, respectively, according to Daniel V. Gaz, a certified exercise physiologist and the program manager of research operations at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

While primary exertion headaches are frustrating, theyâre totally normal and nothing to seriously worry about. A second type of headache associated with physical activity called a secondary exertional headache, however, is a more serious issue, Dr. Bain warns.
Secondary exertion headaches are typically indicative of a larger problem, like meningitis or a brain tumor, Dr. Bain explains. For example, exercise increases your blood pressure and heart rate, making a blood vessel rupture more likely if youâre already in a compromised health condition. In rare cases, exercise-related headaches can also be an unusual sign of heart artery blockages. While rare, these headaches require immediate medical attention.
It can be tricky to differentiate between a primary exertion headache that is essentially innocuous and a secondary exertion headache that can be potentially life-threatening, so Dr. Bain broke down the symptoms of each.
Primary exercise headaches often have a throbbing sensation, are felt on both sides of the head, occur during or after strenuous exercise, and generally, last anywhere from five minutes to 48 hours.
Secondary exercise headaches can mimic symptoms of primary exercise-related headaches, but often include more drastic symptoms like nausea and vomiting, loss of consciousness, double vision, and severe neck stiffness. They can also last multiple daysâtipping you off that something might be seriously wrong.

What Should You Do If You Suspect Your Workouts Causing Migraines
If you notice headaches consistently with one type of exercise, Dr. Bain recommends switching to another type of workout. For example, if youâve been exerting bursts of energy with a strenuous exercise regime, it might be time to try a low-impact workout, like swimming or yoga, or aerobic exercise like running or cycling.
As you know, exercise boasts countless benefits that are essential to our well-being. Physical activity releases the bodyâs natural feel-good hormones , minimizes the frequency and intensity of pain, reduces stress, and in many cases, improves sleep.
Itâs possible that one or two specific types of exercise are precipitating your headaches. So if you do experience exertion headaches, Dr. Bain encourages individuals to use trial-and-errorâand the guidance of a medical professional!âto find the workout that works for you.

Population of Phantoms
A reflective conversation between visual artists Noor Bahjat and Lyndon Maglalang, this exhibition explores the reality of fostering new ways of life.
As the world gradually reopens, the rediscovery of our relationships and connections with other beings and the environment continues. Navigating through this renewed sense of interdependence, we become increasingly aware of the essentiality of our existence and its weight to someone else’s. Thus, we contemplate the idea of the world belonging to the individual and the individual belonging to the world.
Galerie Stephanie presents the works of artists Noor Bahjat and Lyndon Maglalang for Art Fair Philippines 2022. Population of Phantoms is a reflective conversation between the two artists. At the same time, they look into the immediate future: the renewal of the way we relate and associate with all around us and the reality of fostering new ways of life. These undertakings will be presented in abstract portraits, landscapes, and other illustrations.
Noor Bahjat’s (b.1991, Syria) expressionistic self-portraits and sketches draw narratives representing symbols and allegories that highlight the human form while entrenched in everyday life. The portrayals in her canvas remain expressionless as the artist illustrates herself with her thoughts and observations of the world. In “Population of Phantoms”, Bahjat will look into the different ways that we reclaim our connections to the natural and real. The distraction of the modern world and the limitations in physical connections are now two realities we are all forced to live with. Bahjat then depicts the development of life by tracing back its origin and then re-situates humanity at the center of things. She lives and works in the United Arab Emirates.
Lyndon Maglalang (b. 1993, Philippines) depicts human life and its relations through somber form representations. The stillness and serenity in his paintings articulate the necessary interlude amid the chaos and disorder we experience. Elaborating on the resurrection of our relationship with the world, Maglalang offers profound introspections on his thoughts and contemplations of the previous years and the future that we are about to confront. In his body of works, Maglalang scrapes off paint from old palettes, a process that is akin to collage-making in introducing images where man is at the center of the world and vice versa.

The Fresh Market opens sixth store in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Fresh Market opened its new store in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood with the ceremonial cracking of an 80-pound wheel of Parmesan cheese. About 90 employees were hired to staff the roughly 15,000-square-foot store. The Fresh Market now has six stores in the city.
The Fresh Market is a specialty grocer based in Greensboro. The company made efforts to capture the inherent charm of the historic neighborhood in the store’s design and decor. Copper awnings and subway tiles are used throughout the store. An old-fashioned sign designates the floral department and narrower aisles bring in the neighborhood feel and make the store feel more intimate.
Launched in 1982, The Fresh Market operates 178 stores in 27 states.

Lexis, L. A. and Fenning, A. and Brown, L. and Fassett, R. G. and Coombes, J. S. (2006) Antioxidant supplementation enhances erythrocyte antioxidant status and attenuates cyclosporine-induced vascular dysfunction. American Journal of Transplantation, 6 (1). pp. 41-49.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary antioxidant supplementation with alpha-tocopherol and alpha-lipoic acid on cyclosporine-induced alterations to erythrocyte and plasma redox balance, and cyclosporine-induced endothelial and smooth muscle dysfunction. Rats were randomly assigned to either control, antioxidant, cyclosporine or cyclosporine + antioxidant treatments. Cyclosporine A was administered for 10 days after an 8-week feeding period. Plasma was analyzed for alpha-tocopherol, total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde and creatinine. Erythrocytes were analyzed for glutathione, methemoglobin, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-tocopherol and malondialdehye. Vascular endothelial and smooth muscle function was determined in vitro. Antioxidant supplementation resulted in significant increases in erythrocyte alpha-tocopherol concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity in both of the antioxidant-supplemented groups. Cyclosporine administration caused significant decreases in glutathione concentration, methemoglobin concentration and superoxide dismutase activity. Antioxidant supplementation attenuated the cyclosporine-induced decrease in superoxide dismutase activity. Cyclosporine therapy impaired both endothelium-independent and -dependent relaxation of the thoracic aorta, and this was attenuated by antioxidant supplementation. In summary, dietary supplementation with alpha-tocopherol and alpha-lipoic acid attenuated the cyclosporine-induced decrease in erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity and attenuated cyclosporine-induced vascular dysfunction.

Traditionally dumplings are browned in a pan first.
Then you would add some liquid and cover.
You would cook until the liquid is evaporated. By doing it this way you will lose some of the flavor in the dumplings.
Instead, preheat Combi at 212F (100C) steam. Place dumplings in a perforated pan. Spray dumplings with some water. Cook for 8 minutes uncovered.
After cooking place dumplings in a hot sauté pan with a little oil. Brown dumplings until desired color. Serve with favorite sauce.
You can also hold the steamed dumplings in a Alto -Shaam warmer set at 160F (71C). Covered with plastic wrap. When needed all you have to do is just brown and serve. Very fast.

Even though Netflix may now stream to some Honeycomb tablets, the iPad still has the advantage over Android devices when it comes to streaming media. CyberLink hopes to narrow that gap with its new media streaming app for Honeycomb tablets, which is now available in the Android Market.
Dubbed PowerDVD Mobile for Android, the new software allows users to stream media from PowerDVD on their computer directly to their tablet, stream media from the tablet to DLNA-certified TVs and share media between tablets. There is also a photo enhancement tool for touching up photos and creating slide shows.
CyberLink’s media player combines support for videos, photos and music as well. The app costs $20, however PowerDVD 11 Ultra users can activate the software for free with a code provided in the desktop version of the program.
The release of PowerDVD Mobile comes after CyberLink released a major update to its PowerDVD 11 Standard and PowerDVD 11 Ultra software, build 2024. The app is available in 10 languages, including English, German and Japanese, though the program is only compatible with tablets running Android 3.0 or higher.


December 2018 Google searches for “recession” hit the highest they’ve been since November 2009. It’s no wonder considering the deluge of negative headlines on trade wars, the Fed, the global economic slowdown, bear market levels on the S&P 500 and the government shutdown. The psychological effects from the negative headline environment resulted in business leaders and consumers both contracting their spending behaviors.
The Federal Reserve: Uncertainty has been removed
Low inflation has been perplexing to the Fed forecasters for years and is giving this Fed all the ammunition they need to stand pat on rate hikes. We believe the committee did an excellent job at the meeting last week staying neutral and should continue to pause, even in the face of stronger economic numbers in jobs and consumer sentiment. We are watching the dollar and believe stability in the currency will be important for our forecast to materialize in 2019.
Trade Wars Forward Progress: Uncertainty is still present even though progress has been reported
We believe an announcement in the coming months will reveal the strongest trade deal ever produced between the U.S. and China. A strong trade agreement will be measured by the quality of the enforcement mechanisms and will be the key to real change in China’s behavior regarding IP theft, forced joint ventures and the opening of business markets to the U.S. We also think both sides have a vested interest to conclude these discussions for economic and political reasons. Trump is looking to raise tariffs 25 percent on $200 billion of Chinese imports this Friday and on $325 billion more “soon”, which could put talks back on track for conclusion. But one of the biggest risks with the trade war would be a policy mistake - underestimating the vulnerabilities within China’s economy around their shadow debt.
U.S. Job Market Outlook: Uncertainty remains low, will face severe constraints due to skills gap in 2019
The April jobs report was conclusively strong. Although Jobless claims have increased over the last two weeks, we believe it’s not likely to evolve into a longer-term trend, the four-week moving average is still at 212 thousand (best in over 40 years). We are watching labor productivity rising at its fastest pace (3.6 percent) since 2014. Higher productivity is very important at this stage of the tighter labor market (unemployment rate 3.6 percent), thus keeping wage inflation in check and the Fed more comfortable in their inflation outlook.
We are coming out of a very high level of uncertainty in Q4 2018 created by trade wars, the Fed, the global economic slowdown, bear market levels on the S&P 500 and the government shutdown. This had a negative psychological effect on business and consumers and pushed them to change their spending behavior in the short run.
We have clearly seen this translate into weakness throughout PMI surveys and GDP data ending Q1. We also believe this weakness will be transitory as many of the uncertainties that initially created this behavior continue to fade into the headline distance.
Although the current Fed policy should be a positive for business leaders behavior change coming out of Q1, the trade war and tariffs continue to hang uncertainty over capital investment on a global scale.
That said, trade talks will most likely resolve issues over the next few months. The Fed will continue to be data dependent and the U.S. job market will remain strong resulting in stronger business and consumer spending and GDP for 2019.

This result indicates that the reduction mainly proceeded on the (110) face of rutile TiO2 nanorods. 3b,c shows that the PbO2 particles were deposited on the (111) faces. This means that the (111) face provides the oxidation site for rutile TIO2 nanorods. Our results suggest that the (110) face of rutile TiO2 nanorods provides an eﬀective reduction site and that the (111) face works as the oxidation site. Spatially separation of reaction sites on TiO2 nanorods such as reduction and oxidation sites are considered to be very ef icient for improvement of photocatalytic reactions.
