of the engine. This burning occurs inside cylinders, which contain pistons. The pistons are attached, via a connecting rod, to a crankshaft. Gasoline, the most common automobile fuel, is pulled into the cylinder by the vacuum created as the piston moves down through the cylinder. The gasoline is then compressed up into the cylinder by the upward movement of the piston. A spark is introduced through a spark plug placed at the end of the cylinder. The spark causes the gasoline to explode, and the explosion drives the piston down again into the cylinder. This movement, called the power stroke, turns the crankshaft. A final movement of the piston upward again forces the exhaust gases, the byproducts of the fuel's combustion, from the cylinder. These four movementsintake, compression, power, exhaustare called strokes. The four-stroke engine is the most common type of automobile engine.

Engine Oil System:Oil is one of the necessities of an automobile engine. Oil is distributed under strong pressure to all other moving parts of an engine with the help of an oil pump. This oil pump is placed at the bottom of an engine in the oil pan and is joined by a gear to either the crankshaft or the camshaft. Near the oil pump, there is an oil pressure sensor, which sends information about the status of oil to a warning light or meter gauge.
The different parts of engine oil systems include:


For at least a decade, die Government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been engaged in armed efforts to terminate a secessionist movement on the island of Bougainville off the South East coast of the PNG mainland. In late 1996, the government agreed to hire the firm of Sandline International to provide mercenary assistance, in a desperate bid to regain effective control of Bougainville. In an ironical twist to the cycle of violence and missed opportunities for peaceful resolution of the conflict, the controversial decision to engage Sandline proved to be the very catalyst to facilitate a process which appears to offer a real prospect for a negotiated settlement to the dispute.
The public disclosure of the decision of the then-Prime Minister, Sir Julius Chan, to resort to mercenarism was condemned by regional governments and resulted in widespread civil disturbance in PNG. Ultimately, the Chan Government was overthrown in a general election and the new government of Prime Minister Bill Skate has participated in the negotiation of an agreement to establish an independent Truce Monitoring Group and an end to me Bougainville conflict.

Editor’s Note: South Texas College is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To coincide, STC Public Relations Specialist Jose Gomez has penned a column that looks back at why the college was created and how it continues to deliver on its promise. Here is it is:
As a young teen, current South Texas College (STC) Trustee Rose Benavidez recalls traveling with her father, the late Manuel Benavidez, across Starr County looking for support for what was then known as South Texas Community College (STCC).
Her father had just been appointed as a trustee for the college, and in the summer of 1995, public acceptance for STCC had snowballed, culminating in an election that saw votes approve three propositions that were essential for the college.
“When I was a kid driving around with my father I remember they were having classes in laundromats or they were allowed by school districts to have classes in old libraries,” Benavidez said. “I can recall my very first experience with the college was when I was maybe 15 years old. But far beyond the brick and mortar is the impact and the change in the people of pour community.”
In June 1993, then Texas Gov. Ann Richards signed legislation creating South Texas Community College, converting the former Texas State Technical College campus in McAllen into a local governed community college serving Hidalgo and Starr Counties.
“I had the passion, the commitment and the tenacity to say, ‘by God, we’re going to do this’,” said STC President Dr. Shirley A. Reed. “When you look at the level of poverty in the Valley and the number of individuals who haven’t even had an opportunity to finish high school, much less go to college, it becomes clear there is no end to the work that needs to be done in the Valley.”
STCC opened its doors September 1993, and classes began with 1,058 students. Since that time, STC has seen steady growth in its student enrollment, starting with 1,085 students in 1993 to more than 34,000 students by fall 2017.
STC offers more than 120 degree and certificate program options including associate degrees in the art, science, technology and allied health fields. The college also offers 18 online associate agrees and certificate options through South Texas College Online enabling students to earn their degrees without even setting foot on campus.
“To see friends, family and ex-students come through our programs and to see them graduate has been a very satisfying experience,” said trustee Dr. Alejo Salinas. “To hear the feedback from those who have come here, and how full of pride they are with their education, that’s a very rewarding experience for me. It provides me with plenty of reason for wanting to be part of this college.”

SAVANNAH-CHATHAM County school board member Lori Brady got it exactly right.
If you want to solve the problem of hundreds of public school students switching schools because of the federal No Child Left Behind law, you must go to the source: Schools that aren't making progress. Then you fix them.
Don't blame the law - and certainly don't blame parents. Most want the best education possible for their children.
Unfortunately, the legislation is having unintended consequences, especially at Johnson High School and Jenkins High School. Both schools are making adequate progress as determined by No Child Left Behind. The question, however, is whether progress may be threatened.
Johnson and Jenkins are bursting at the seams, as students transfer in from Beach, Groves and Savannah High schools, three schools that "need improvement."
Johnson is struggling the most. The fairly new school that serves part of the eastside, Thunderbolt and the islands was built for 1,148 students. Its enrollment this fall is 1,585. That means it's over capacity by 437 students, or 38 percent.
Teachers at Johnson are apparently doing their best to accommodate the extra bodies, although space is an issue (only one high school that's making adequate progress, Windsor Forest High School, has room to spare).
Administrators spent an extra $105,000 to buy more books for Johnson, Jenkins and Windsor Forest, and they spent another $170,000 to round up 10 portable classrooms and move them to Johnson, Jenkins and Mercer Middle School, which also is suffering a space crunch. Adding a new wing onto Johnson to accommodate more than a third more students would help, but it would be pricey: $3 million.
That prompted Ms. Brady, whose southside district includes Windsor Forest, to make the obvious suggestion - make progress. Then students couldn't transfer.
Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. The recent transfer of high school students out of Beach, Groves and Savannah High is considered a brain drain by some, which will only exacerbate the problem. (One veteran teacher at Johnson, where many of the Beach transfers now go, privately disputes that claim.)
But the movement of so many students (534) between public high schools creates instability. That makes it difficult to plan and allocate resources, which hurts education.
The shifting also exposes an educational truism: Buildings don't teach; educational outcomes and quality matter more.
Savannah High, one of the newer high schools, was completed 10 years ago at a cost of nearly $25 million. The bright, attractive building was constructed for up to 1,443 students. Today, just 1,161 students are enrolled at the school off Pennsylvania Avenue in the eastside. Parents and their children are voting with their feet and going elsewhere.
On the other side of the county, Beach is losing students. Worse, it's not attracting new ones, although it's designed to draw from a fast-growing region of the county.
A new Beach high school, which voters recently approved, may turn things around. Or maybe not.
Residents of Berwick Plantation and Southbridge subdivision are located in the Beach attendance zone, yet few students from those middle-class and upscale neighborhoods go to the public high school. Many parents choose private school for their children, which is their prerogative. Others are choosing Johnson or Jenkins, which they have a right to do under federal law.
Parental choice must be preserved. The challenge for educators is to get more parents to choose to send their children to Beach, Groves and Savannah High. But it's not just a matter of improving schools that have been struggling. It's also a matter of not weighing down good schools with more students than they can handle.
Just as lifeboats can be swamped, so can classrooms.

My “clean” eating challenge is going so-so. I have had a few mishaps. The trouble comes with eating healthfully while working. I really need to work on preparing and packing my meals. Working overnight shifts also makes me crave really bad food! I have noticed a pattern of eating at least one candy bar per shift. I think my body is asking for energy, and my mind immediately answers with a chocolate craving. I’m thinking it’s time to stock up on fresh fruit and maybe whip up some kind of energy bar.
It’s a completely different story when it comes to eating well on my days off. I have been successful at throwing together “clean” and tasty meals. Even Husby has been easily transitioning into the challenge.
Here’s last night’s meal:
This is where I found the inspiration:
I used zucchini instead of squash. It tasted great! My husband is a die-hard pasta eater, and he LOVED the veggie noodles. The sauce and fish came for Trader Joe’s. Overall, dinner was a success!
I’m trying to keep this healthful eating momentum rolling…

- Exquisite details
- W-12 or V-8
- From AWD to wi-fi, a tech showcase
- Crisply tailored sheet metal
- Standard all-wheel drive
- A massive sedan
- Fuel economy
- Even before options, stratospheric prices
The 2016 Bentley Flying Spur exudes opulence with its V-8 or W-12 engine. Both models deliver smooth, willing power and luxurious comfort.
The Bentley Flying Spur is a potent symbol of status and wealth. Even $100,000 luxosedans seem a pale imitation of the Spur's quiet opulence, in either V-8 or W-12 form. Square foot by square foot, it has as much hand-finished wood and hand-stitched leather as any vehicle on the planet, a perfect companion to its stately presence. Drive one, and it's obvious that you've arrived.
Bentley used to badge the Flying Spur as a Continental, but in 2014 Bentley split its lineup, making the coupes and convertibles Continentals and the sedan the Flying Spur.
The Flying Spur is pared down of extraneous details. For example, the oval LED headlamps have no surrounds and they are larger outboard than inboard, which is the opposite of the Conti GT. Also compared to the Continental, the grille stands more upright, and the Spur transitions from front to back into a more crisply tailored look: the fenders flare more, the roof pillars are more angular, and the taillights are squared off. Bentley distinguishes between the 8- and 12-cylinder versions with some minute differences: V-8 cars have red-backed badges, a black-finished grille, and a figure-eight exhaust tip, while the W-12 cars have oval exhaust finishers, a chromed grille, and black-background badging.
Two powertrains are offered. The newest is the Audi-sourced, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 with cylinder deactivation. It pushes out 500 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque, good for a 0-60 mph time quoted at 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph.
Executives say the 6.0-liter W-12 is the brand's hallmark, as well as the fastest Bentley sedan ever. Output is 616 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. It's coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive with a variable torque split set at 40/60 from launch, but capable of shifting to 65 percent front or 85 percent rear as traction needs arise. Bentley quotes a 0-60 mph times of 4.3 seconds and an astonishing top speed of 200 mph—in a car that weighs almost 5,500 pounds. It reels off whiplashes of power, controlled deftly by a paddle-shifted transmission that merits wheel-mounted, heavy-gauge paddles—not the flimsy ones it's given.
To satisfy all the clients in all the places in the world where the Flying Spur appeals—China, America, Russia, Britain—the ride and handling are tuned for a wide range of behavior, more plush on one end, more firm and responsive on the other. A standard set of adaptive dampers can alter the ride and roll stiffness. Light, natural steering feel complements the early-warning traction signals built into the grippy Pirelli P-Zero tires; the Spur's more than willing to dive into tight corners, and setting its adaptive dampers to Sport gives it the lateral confidence to back up its promise, though it's less compliant when the road unkinks. The V-8 model is a bit more nimble, the consequence of having 300 pounds less sitting on its nose.
The Flying Spur's interior remains a luxury paradigm: it's functionally fit, fabulously finished, and bespoke to a certain degree in its palette of trim and color choices. It's as much a cozy library of timeless car lines and finishes as it is a housing for Bentley's state-of-the-art infotainment technology.
A suite of infotainment services is matched to the Bentley's mission in life and to the executive levels of charm found inside. Quiet and tastefully rendered, the Flying Spur's cabin is filled with muted details, and studded with "B" logos, all framing a large LCD screen for infotainment functions that can be controlled by front-seat passengers, as well as by back-seat passengers via remote control. The remote also governs the twin 10-inch flat screens embedded in the front-seat headrests, offering rear sat passengers entertainment and in-car internet and wireless connectivity.
The cabin can be trimmed out as a four-seater with 14-way power adjustment and memory, heating and ventilation at all seating positions, or with a "plus-one" middle seat without those added controls. Numerous interior leather colors, stitching colors, and wood trims are offered—a palette that runs from sober grey to magnificent damson. A Mulliner Driving Specification adds the best flourishes: diamond-quilted seats, drilled alloy foot pedals, a knurled sports shift lever, jeweled filler cap, and 20- or 21-inch two-piece alloy wheels. An optional Naim 1,100-watt audio system is available.
A Beluga specification for the V-8 model features a unique look inside and out. The exterior gets exclusive 20-inch black and bright machined alloy wheels and a gloss black radiator with a body-color lower grille bar. Inside, it has piano black trim, knurled gear shift paddles, contrast stitching on the seats and steering wheel, pile carpet floor mats, and boot carpet with contrasting leather binding.
Pricing starts around $200,000 for the V-8 model and $220,000 for the W-12, not including the stiff $2,725 destination charge and $2,600 gas-guzzler tax.
The gas-guzzler tax is apropos; the V-8 Flying Spur manages 14 mpg city, 24 highway, 17 combined. When equipped with a W-12 those numbers drop to 12/20/15 mpg.

The Hip Hop Generation Engages in the Debate About our Next Foreign Policy
From Our Friends at the Hip Hop Caucus
By Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr.
The Hip Hop Caucus has always seen the Hip Hop Generation, those born after 1964, as representative of what we like to call the “Dream Generation,” or the generation Dr. King prophesized, in which all people regardless of race, economic level, religion, or sexual preference, stood together to stand for Justice and Peace.
Throughout the world we find young people from diverse backgrounds who identify with Hip Hop culture and have similar local-to-global issues yet feel alienated or disenfranchised by political systems who do not address their issues.
As we move forward a progressive agenda, it is paramount that we are able to recognize the potential for a global movement around similar issues people face using an inside out approach. We must 1) address local issues that fit into a larger global context and 2) educate (Hip) people on the similarities and affects between local and global issues, and 3) mobilize and move (Hop) people to action so they are active civic participants and hold their elected officials accountable. By working an inside-out approach we have the ability to engage new segments of our democracy, who have not traditionally been engaged in matters concerning US global engagement into this process.
This upcoming presidential election is a unique and timely opportunity to engage new segments of our population into the political process and educate them on foreign policy. We recently launched our voter registration, education and mobilization campaign, “Respect My Vote!” to capture the energy surrounding this election. We are engaging 18-29 year olds–targeting those that did not attend college– in the political process and ensuring we can maintain contact with them beyond the presidential elections, and mobilize them to the polls. Our campaign is unique because we place equal emphasis on election and post election work. We have chosen this group because only 67% of people in this age group feel they can make an impact on their communities and we want to show them they can have an impact on their communities as well as the world.
As part of our voter education campaign we have selected urgent foreign policy issues and will begin familiarizing with the issues for future campaigns.
Climate Change, Food Shortages, and a Green Economy
Our incoming President must address climate change in a very real and urgent manner. No longer can we ignore or thumb or noses at international policy, we must work with the international community to aggressively address climate change because if we do not act now in the 21st century, there might not be a 22nd century for Humanity on this planet.
Without drastic shifts in emissions of greenhouse gases, we will continue to see shifts in rain patterns and temperatures which will deepen the food shortages and drought which we are already beginning to see, especially in parts of Africa. We are also beginning to see a rise in food prices here in the US which has an acute impact on disadvantaged communities
To curb climate change and oil dependence we must find new and creative ways to embrace the green movement, and build a broader social base for our movement. There is also vast economic potential in a green economy which would make way for new technology and industry which can provide new “green collar” jobs. The Hip Hop Caucus is working with organizations such as Green for All to ensure that disadvantaged communities are at the forefront of the emerging green economy, allowing us to fight both poverty and pollution at the same time.
Proliferation of poverty, Iraq war, and the Iraqi refugee crisis
We must recognize the Iraqi refugee crisis as both a humanitarian issue and a national security issue. While we hemorrhage resources to the war in Iraq, a October 2007 CRS Report cited that 2.2 million people have been internally displaced in Iraq and there are now 2 million refugees in Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon. We spend upwards of $12 billion per month on this war which has caused a humanitarian crisis and proliferated poverty onto millions of people in Iraq, while our communities in the US continue to suffer from inadequate resources. Anti-US sentiment created by poverty, instability, and our treatment of people combine to provide a great environment for potential threats to US national security.
Yes, there are policies which need to be addressed by the incoming president and 111th Congress, but without an engaged citizenry to hold them accountable for their words and rhetoric there will be little change. This is why it is so important to engage our citizenry in meaningful ways. This is why we must make the connections between spending in Iraq and spending in our communities, or the effects of climate change and soaring prices of food as well as the opportunity for our communities to be at the forefront of the Green Collar job movement.
Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr., is a minister, community activist, and one of the most influential people in Hip Hop political life. Firmly grounded in his Caribbean and Louisiana roots, Rev. Yearwood is a fierce advocate for the human and civil rights in the 21st century. A powerful and fiery orator, Rev. Yearwood works diligently and tirelessly to encourage the Hip Hop generation to utilize its political and social voice.
He currently serves as President of the Hip Hop Caucus in Washington, D.C. The Hip Hop Caucus is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan, organization that inspires and motivates those born after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
Rev. Yearwood is known for his activist work as the National Director of the Gulf Coast Renewal Campaign in which he organized a coalition of national organizations and grassroots organizations to advocate for the rights of Hurricane Katrina survivors. Rev. Yearwood has become an important figure in the peace movement as an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq and the Bush Administration. He was an Officer in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and led the “Make Hip Hop Not War” national tour to engage more young people in the movement for peace.
Rev. Yearwood was a co-creator of the 2004 campaign “Vote or Die” with Sean “Diddy” Combs. He was also the Political and Grassroots Director for Russell Simmons’ Hip Hop Summit Action Network in 2003 and 2004, and a Senior Consultant to Jay Z’s Voice Your Choice.
Rev. Yearwood, was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. He earned his undergraduate degree from University of the District of Columbia in 1998 and was awarded a Master of Divinity from Howard University in May 2002. Rev. Yearwood has been seen on CNN, BET Tonight, MTV, BBC, C-Span, and Hardball with Chris Mathews and featured in the Washington Post, The New York Times and VIBE.


IT'S a battle that has energised the American electorate and caught the attention of the world. But for the pollsters, predicting who will win the Democratic Party's nomination for US president has been a nightmare.
From the first primary, when they failed to predict Hillary Clinton's victory in New Hampshire, polling firms have struggled to make accurate forecasts of her state-by-state battles against Barack Obama.
Something about the Clinton-Obama tussle - with its overtones of race and gender - has exposed flaws in the science of pre-election polling. The causes are being hotly debated, but the leading contenders are the models used to predict who is likely to get out and vote. "They have no scientific basis," argues Jon Krosnick, a survey methodologist at Stanford University in California.
This year's New Hampshire Democratic primary was the biggest embarrassment for US pollsters since the presidential election of 1948 - when Democrat ...

Fulham have committed to providing head coach Marco Silva with substantial support ahead of the next transfer window in order to keep the manager at Craven Cottage.
According to a new report by soccer outlet Football Insider, the Cottagers will pull out all the brakes in contract negotiations to keep Silva, as Tottenham are keen in making him their next manager.
Silva to Receive Sizeable Budget
If the former Everton and Watford manager chooses to remain at Craven Cottage, Fulham will reportedly provide him with a sizable summer budget.
Silva’s future will also depend on retaining the club’s current talents.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, Joao Palhinha, Willian, and Andreas Pereira are seen as crucial members of a Fulham squad that is vying for a European spot this season.
It had been reported late last month that the Cottagers were also prepared to extend the contract of veteran winger Willian, whose current term expires in June.
Reports suggest that despite interest from Newcastle and Man City, the Londoners are in a strong position to sign USA left-back Antonee Robinson to a new contract.
Mitrovic has scored 11 goals and contributed two assists in 21 league games this season, while playmaker Pereira has scored two goals and dished out six assists.
Currently, Silva’s contract is set to expire in June 2024 but the club want to keep him much longer following this season’s success.
Silva has refused to comment on the rumors tying him to the potential management vacancy at Tottenham should Antonio Conte depart.
The coach maintains that he is quite content in his current position.
It is understood that the Portuguese is not at the top of Spurs’ list of prospective Conte replacements, but that might alter if their top candidates decline the position.
Fulham and Brighton are tied on points in the fight for the seventh and final European Conference League spot.
Fulham to Swoop for Championship Striker
Also reported is that Fulham intend to revive their pursuit of Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
The Cottagers attempted to acquire the 24-year-old attacker in January, but the Championship club rejected their offer.
Fulham are planning to make a second attempt to sign the Swedish international in the summer, with manager Marco Silva looking to offer competition for Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Due to the fact that Gyokeres’ contract is slated to expire in 2024, Coventry have reduced their asking price to £10-12 million out of concern that he may depart on a free transfer.
Sunday, February 26th, Football Insider sources reported that Leeds United, Everton, and Bournemouth are also interested in signing Gyokeres this summer.
This season, Gyokeres has emerged as one of the most promising players in the Championship, scoring 16 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions.
His 15 league goals in 2022/23 rank him second in the Championship, behind only Middlesbrough’s Chuba Akpom (19).
Gyokeres began his career in Sweden with IF Brommapojkarna and transferred to England in 2018 after impressing Brighton scouts.
Gyokeres, however, made only eight senior games for the Seagulls and spent the majority of his three years on the south coast on loan.

A statement from Soho Square read: 'The FA and FA Premier League (FAPL) have agreed to conduct a joint inquiry into allegations made by Leeds United FC against Chelsea FC.
'The inquiry will look into the alleged conduct of Chelsea FC in relation to three Leeds United academy players last season.
'The inquiry will be carried out by both The FA and the FAPL as the allegations relate to FA and FAPL rules.'
'The FA is also giving separate consideration to a complaint by Chelsea against Leeds United Chairman Ken Bates regarding public comments made about the Chelsea directors and management.'

During a recent training with Craig Douglas of ShivWorks, I was introduced to the world of realistic training with the help of airsoft guns. I really had no idea the high quality airsoft trainers were so realistic, accurate, or well made. Essentially, this type of practice allows regular and higher risk live training to be done with the airsoft gun to minimize risk to a negligible level. I still believe that a year spent dry-fire practicing will net more advantage than weekly range trips with live fire, but I believe airsoft holds a legitimate place between those two extremes.
During the Armed Movement in Structures training, we used airsoft to metaphorically kill each other, but you can do so much more than entry training. Want to do high stress fast draw drills without accidentally shooting yourself and having a trip to the hospital? No problem, if you use airsoft it will only be a harsh stinging reminder that you were pushing outside of your safe control speed with the handgun.
My airsoft gun of choice is the Umarex USA (AKA Walther USA) green gas airsoft PPQ M2 pistols which perfectly match in every way to my real PPQ M2 .22 LR and PPQ M2 9mm pistols. Heck, Umarex even has a PPQ M2 .177 caliber pellet pistol if you want the entire progressive training kit. Previously, I have heavily used the .22 LR version as a trainer on steel, but now I also have a backyard option for training as well. Green gas guns are refilled with a larger canister like you would a butane lighter—press in for a few seconds and you are ready to shoot again. The upside is charging the gun is quick while you are reloading BBs. The downside is that a recharge is usually required every other magazine BB reload.
During my review of Rubber Dummies targets, which by the way are the single best training target I have ever tested, I realized that airsoft BBs would leave smaller but still noticeable impact marks on the Rubber Dummy target. Coupled with a quality airsoft training pistol and comparable holster (to your carry holster), these three items deliver a very realistic and very safe backyard urban-training environment. My green gas powered Umarex PPQ airsoft gun delivers visible marking hits all the way out to 15 yards on the Rubber Dummies. Add in a free shot timer app for your smartphone, and you have everything you need to start some real training work.
Of note, I really have become fond of Clinger Holsters 15-degree Stingray and have this holster for a number of my regular carry guns including my Walther PPQ 9mm, Glock 26, Glock 19, H&K P30SK, and H&K VP9. For $40, it should be an easy purchase to assure your airsoft gun has a proper holster to practice from.
Now that the weather is nicer, I have really been using airsoft training a lot, and my draw from concealment speeds have increased significantly from a solid average around 0.5 second to a few 0.28–0.30 second first-shots. Part of that is being able to perform multiple repetitive drills, being able to work through the kinks and micro motions without worrying about an accidental and potentially fatal live-round discharge. The other aspect is that after the investment into a high quality $100+ airsoft gun, shooting is essentially a rounding error in your usual ammo budget at around $0.84 per 100 rounds, or about $42 per 5000 rounds if you buy premium gas and premium BBs. Airsoft is super cheap practice that pays for itself very quickly.
You can also practice riskier drills such as placing your left hand on the right hip to simulate a captured draw stroke of your opponent while drawing and shooting. Generally, this drill is done with a bent support arm and the left hand near the ear to get the arm out of the way of the bullet. The right hand partially draws the gun with a very high elbow, and a shot is taken on the opponent in a downward 45-degree direction away from your body parts. Again, ShivWorks does some training on this and has some great videos about how to do this correctly without shooting yourself.
Obviously, modifying this drill to place your hand more in line with a potential bullet path is risky, but a great realistic scenario and use for airsoft. If you shoot your hand, you will know it, but you’ll still have a functional hand and no true wounds except to your conscious. Generally, I use airsoft for very close drills—less than a foot away—within grappling range. It really is interesting to experience how you can become entangled grappling the Rubber Dummy target while going through the drill. You can then look back and determine the gun angle, bullet trajectory, and where the shot ended up in comparison to your body parts.
With the typical urban environmental sounds of housing divisions, the report of most airsoft guns are about as loud as a kid playing basketball and cannot be heard more than a house or two each way. It is still far softer than the Blap! Blap! Blap! from the ever present re-roofing job in any neighborhood. What I really have enjoyed is being able to get outside in my backyard for 10–15 minutes to work though some realistic training and basic drills all while waiting for the wife to shower or while the kids are waiting for the bus to show up. As we all know, once you have kids, those long uninterrupted full-day range sessions seem to start to dwindle, and this is one way to get back out there and work on your fundamentals.

The switch is a protein receptor that responds to the female sex hormone progesterone, which is released by the egg or oocyte, the ultimate goal towards which sperm swim.
Thousands of these receptors sit on the surface of a sperm's tail and when the sperm gets close to the egg, the hormone activates the receptor and triggers a cascade of changes that make the tail snap like a whip, powering the sperm into and hopefully through the cells protecting the egg.
"If the receptor protein doesn't recognise progesterone, you would be infertile," said Melissa Miller, a postdoctoral fellow at University of California, Berkeley. "This gives us an understanding of another pathway that is involved in human sperm activity," Miller said.
A drug that inactivates this newly discovered receptor, however, might make a good "unisex" contraceptive - one that could be used by either sexual partner. Many tissues - the brain, the lungs, smooth muscle - contain related progesterone or steroid receptors that may work in a similar manner to trigger major changes in tissues, said Polina Lishko, assistant professor at UC Berkeley.
"Now that we know the players, the next step is to look in other tissues that express these proteins to see whether progesterone acts on them in a similar manner to affect pain threshold adjustment in pain sensing neurons, surfactant production in the lungs or the excessive smooth muscle contractions found in asthma," Lishko said.
Today, doctors are unable to determine the cause of nearly 80% of all cases of male infertility, in part because little is known about the many molecular steps involved in the production of sperm and its interactions with the egg. Researchers used a new technique that allows them to stick electrodes on a sperm's tail and record its reactions to hormones, key to probing the molecular cascades that govern sperm behaviour.
This led to the discovery that a large receptor on sperm tails - a calcium channel dubbed CatSper - is activated by progesterone from the egg. pti

In her new book, Bull by the Horns, Bair was highly critical of Timothy Geithner, both during his time as head of the New York Fed and then later as Treasury secretary, referring to him as "bailouter" in chief.
While Geithner did what he thought was right, “His world view was if you help the banks out of their troubles, you’ll help the broader economy,” Bair said on CNBC. Geithner’s priority was the big banks, particularly Citigroup.
Instead, Bair wanted to impose broader market accountability, including having bondholders take losses and for those that lent money to financial institutions to share more of the pain.
“The Treasury and the Fed were not talking to the FDIC,” she said. “And some of that was calculated because if they brought us in early in the process, we’d have more ability to guide the decision making.”
The conflict, which started during the Bear Stearns bailout, spilled over into the Dodd-Frank discussions as well, Bair said.
Referring to the Bear-Stearns bailout, Bair said that to this day, “I’ve never seen good analysis as to why Bear Stearns was systemic.” Bear Stearns was sold off to JPMorgan with Federal Reserve support in 2007. That analysis, she said, is "important before exposing government money to bailout institutions that have been mismanaged.”
Because of the conflicting approaches to solving the financial crisis, the ultimate response to was lacking, Bair said.
In addition to tainting all major financial institutions, some of which were stronger than others, she said “we didn’t help homeowners, we didn’t tackle mortgages the way we should have, we never cleaned up bank balance sheets which continue to be a drag on the economy, and the horrible public cynicism toward Washington and large financial institutions and this perception that the game is rigged was created by the bailouts."

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 October 2021
Archaeologists have made some progress in the study of ancient Southeast Asian textiles, but the results of this form of research are likely to remain limited to verifying the types of plants used to make the fibres and dyes, and possibly the weaving techniques employed. It seems likely that we will have to depend on indirect methods for the foreseeable future in our attempts to reconstruct the textiles used in early Southeast Asia. Historical sources contain some data, but these have serious limitations. Most surviving documents only refer to textiles in passing. Many terms used to refer to them are no longer understood. Old Javanese vocabulary concerning textiles is extensive, a sign of their interest in this topic and its importance in society, but there is scant chance that the literal meanings of these words will ever be recovered.
For several years I taught a course on traditional arts of Southeast Asia in the eighteenth through early twentieth centuries, in which I emphasized the importance of textiles in trying to understand the roles of what in the West we call art and artists. No female artists and very few male artists are mentioned in ancient inscriptions. Artists were not a separate category of people in ancient Java; as in early twentiethcentury Bali, the making of objects possessing what is now called artistic value was a common activity of children as well as adults, as were performances of music and dance. Artists were not marginal members of society, though some people were certainly recognized as more skilful than others in creating textiles or pottery, both of which were exclusively made by women. The high aesthetic and technical value of Southeast Asia textile production only came to be acknowledged in the West in the midnineteenth century. Since that time, scholars have elevated the importance of textiles as a medium of artistic expression in traditional Southeast Asia from the status of a craft to the cultural equivalent of painting and sculpture.
Textile art in precolonial Southeast Asia had great ceremonial and symbolic value. Locally made textiles commanded high economic value not only within Southeast Asian societies but also in diplomatic gift exchange with China.

Shares of biopharmaceutical company, Ocugen, Inc. OCGN, gained 17.7% after it announced that its co-development partner, Bharat Biotech, released positive data on a late-stage study of COVAXIN, a vaccine for COVID-19.
Bharat Biotech shared positive results of the second interim analysis of its phase III study of COVAXIN, which demonstrated an efficacy of 78% in mild, moderate and severe COVID-19 disease and an efficacy of 100% against severe COVID-19 disease.
The trial enrolled 25,800 participants in India from the age group of 18-91, including 2,433 above the age of 60 and 4,500 with comorbidities.
The primary endpoint of the phase III study is based on the first occurrence of PCR-confirmed symptomatic (mild, moderate, or severe) COVID-19, with onset at least 14 days after the second study vaccination in serologically negative (to SARS-CoV-2) adult participants at baseline.
The second interim analysis is based on accruing more than 87 symptomatic cases of COVID-19. However, due to the recent surge in cases in India, 127 symptomatic cases were recorded. This, in turn, resulted in a point estimate of vaccine efficacy of 78% against mild, moderate and severe COVID-19 disease.
Based on a subgroup of approximately 8,000 participants who visited the clinical trial site each month for an RT-PCR test, the efficacy against asymptomatic COVID-19 infection was 70%.
The trial will continue to its pre-planned conclusion.
We note that in February 2021, Ocugen entered a co-development, supply and commercialization agreement with Bharat Biotech for the development and commercialization of COVAXIN in the U.S. market. Bharat Biotech will supply a specified minimum number of doses of COVAXIN, once it receives an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), and then support the technology transfer for manufacturing for the U.S. market. Ocugen will share the profits from the sale of COVAXIN in the U.S. market with Bharat Biotech, with Ocugen retaining 45% of the profit.
Shares of Ocugen have surged 255.2% in the year so far compared with the industry’s growth of 2.1%.
The company is discovering, developing and commercializing gene therapies to cure blindness.
The FDA has already granted EUA to Pfizer PFE / BioNTech and Moderna’s MRNA vaccines for COVID-19. The agency also granted EUA to Johnson & Johnson’s JNJ single-dose COVID-19 vaccine in individuals 18 years of age and older.
Ocugen currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

'Stay the blazes home,' premier warns as COVID-19 cases rise in Nova Scotia
'I'm so tired of hearing of grocery stores, Walmart, Tim Hortons parking lots filled with cars'
Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil told residents "to stay the blazes home" as the number of COVID-19 cases in Nova Scotia rose to 207 on Friday.
"I'm not trying to scare you, but part of me wishes you were scared," McNeil said.
"This is serious and another weekend is upon us, I'm so tired of hearing of grocery stores, Walmart, Tim Hortons parking lots filled with cars as if we're not in the midst of a deadly pandemic — we are."
Nova Scotia confirmed 14 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday. The new cases were identified on Thursday and nearly 900 tests were completed at the QEII Health Sciences Centre, the province said in a news release.
Google recently released graphs of people's movements based on data from mobile phones and the premier said "Nova Scotia is not doing well when it comes to staying away from our parks and beaches."
"The virus will find you, then it finds your loved ones and then it finds your neighbourhoods," he said.
Most of the new cases are connected to travel or a known case, but Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Strang, said during a press conference on Friday that he's starting to see signs of community spread.
Strang said testing will be expanded to look for community spread and "there will be more to come on that in the future."
There is one confirmed case of community spread. More community transmission cases are expected in the future.
"If you have a teenager who's going out to to meet their boyfriend or if you want to get together even to chat with your neighbours, each of those puts your family unit at risk," Strang said.
Strang said if residents stay at home "as much as possible" and take other precautions like washing their hands frequently, "we can minimize the impact and slow down the spread."
The people who have tested positive so far range in age from under 10 to more than 80.
Five people are being treated in hospital, but 21 people are considered to be recovered.
Cases of COVID-19 have been found across the province.
The latest information on cases can be found on the province's COVID-19 data website.
NSLC location closed as precaution
The NSLC on Portland Street in Dartmouth closed abruptly on Friday afternoon when one of its staff members found out he was exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
Spokesperson Beverley Ware said the exposure did not happen at work.
She said the store closed almost immediately after the employee found out and shared the information.
After the store closed, it was cleaned and disinfected.
A decision on whether that location will reopen on Saturday will be made that morning.
Keep loved ones at long-term care homes
Strang advised against removing loved ones from long-term care facilities.
If the virus entered the household, Strang said he's concerned families wouldn't have the "the ability to provide the necessary level of care."
"They would be putting their relative at more risk unless they have absolute capacity to apply the same level of restrictions and the same level of cleaning and all those pieces that a long-term care facility would have," Strang said.
If a family did take a family member out of a long-term care facility, McNeil said the province would work with those families.
No new cases at Magnolia
There are no new cases of COVID-19 at the Magnolia Continuing Care Home in Enfield, N.S.
Strang said there are still only three staff and two residents who have tested positive.
He said the investigation into how the virus spread there is still under investigation. He said there was an education event for staff and also a family gathering that was held at the facility on March 11.
"It's a complex investigation with lots of interactions between staff and between staff and residents and the community," Strang said.
"But the good news is there's nobody new ill in that long-term care facility."
Fines over COVID-19
Nova Scotia RCMP announced they had charged four people and one business for violating the Nova Scotia Health Protection Act and Emergency Management Act in relation to COVID-19.
Three people were charged with failing to comply with a direction, order or requirement made under the Emergency Management Act on Wednesday.
Also on Wednesday, RCMP charged a business and one person for failing to adhere to orders contained in the chief medical officer's public health order.
RCMP say the first three people were fined $697.50, the business was fined $7,500 and the fourth person was fined $1,000.


MP3 Dre Towey - Chester the Dog Unleashed
Dre Towey brings new meaning to children''s music with fun, intelligent, upbeat songs that you and your children can enjoy together.
16 MP3 Songs
KIDS/FAMILY: General Children''s Music, KIDS/FAMILY: Sing-Along/Interactive
Dre Towey, aka Andrea Loomis Towey, thrives on kid energy! While raising her three children she writes, illustrates and performs for your children. She loves what she does and does what she loves, and you will hear in her music this certain… joie de vive.
A former elementary school teacher and art educator, Dre’s experiences with children resonate through her lyrics and music while touching upon a range of subjects from the dog across the street to the harrowing experience of losing a balloon. Her dream of becoming a rock n’ roll mom came to fruition this past spring when she recorded her first solo CD, Chester the Dog Unleashed, with members from the band King for a Day (check out https://www.tradebit.com ).
Dre was first introduced to children’s music when asked to illustrate the CD Dancin’ in the Kitchen for her friend Wendy Gelsanliter. Inspired by the success of their first collaboration, Dre continued to write and illustrate for Wendy’s second CD, Ants Wear Underpants (https://www.tradebit.com ).

American Tactical, Inc., began in 2006 as an importer of foreign firearm products into the American market. As a gun store owner, I purchased and sold many of those products — and kept a few myself. In particular, I bought some very attractive 1911s made by Shooter’s Arms Manufacturing in the Philippines. ATI also imported rifles and pistols made by German Sports Guns. Now, the company also manufactures their own firearms.

Motorcycle Exhaust pipe is a very important motorcycle part, refitting motorcycles to feel the most intuitive parts except tires is exhaust. The exhaust pipe is divided into back pressure pipe and straight exhaust pipe. What is the difference between the two exhaust pipes? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Here is a description of the characteristics of these two exhaust gases in terms of structure and principle.
1、straight exhaust pipe
Advantages: smooth exhaust, strong torque at high speed and large power
Disadvantages: poor low-speed torque and high noise
The inside of the straight-through pipe is not provided with a separation plate and the like, and only the noise of the silencing cotton barrier part is covered outside the straight-through pipe, and the exhaust gas is directly discharged under the condition of no blocking, and the explosion sound is emitted under the severe expansion. In addition, the relationship between the low rotation speed and the exhaust valve overlap time can cause the mixed gas of the combustion chamber to flow out, the straight-through pipe diameter is large and the design is convenient, the flow rate of the exhaust gas is naturally slow when the low-speed rotating speed is low, and therefore, the low-speed weakness is caused. In the high-speed state of the reverse view, the exhaust gas discharged in a large amount is not blocked, and the power can be fully played out.
2、back pressure exhaust pipe
Advantages: low noise and good response at low speed
Disadvantages: affect the output of high rotation power
The back pressure exhaust pipe uses the volume change of the partition, silencer or tube to produce the pressure of the general return cylinder. When the engine ignites and explodes, push the piston down and then open the exhaust valve, the pressure returned from the exhaust pipe will block the exhaust gas from flushing out, so that the combustion pressure can continuously push the piston down to the dead point. On the contrary, if the return pressure is too high, it will cause the exhaust gas can not be discharged out of the cylinder, resulting in low intake efficiency, thus reducing the combustion efficiency and affecting the engine power output.

IF SCOTTISH football was two arguing weans you’d bang their heads together and tell them to grow up and stop squabbling over nothing.
I’ve long felt that the SPFL could devise a system to bring about world peace and cure cancer, yet still find some factions within our game moaning about some imagined slight rather than focusing on the greater good.
But what did come as a shock was that the main offender in this PR clanger was Jambos owner Ann Budge.
Until now the Queen of Hearts has been a breath of fresh air since riding to her beloved club's rescue 18 months ago.
She has given the club back its soul, given its supporters a voice and earned widespread praise for the dignified manner in which she has run the club.
Agreeing a deal that made Hearts the first club in the UK to have a charity (Save The Children) as its shirt sponsor was a classy touch.
Her rapid public condemnation and subsequent banning of an idiot element of the Jambos support who caused trouble earlier this season was the kind of strong leadership that inspires and commands respect.
Which only makes her misguided attack on the SPFL’s rare bit of positive news all the more surprising.
This should have been a a long awaited moment for our much maligned game and its governers to bask in the warmth of a good light for a change.
The generation an £8 million TV deal with BT Sport based on the regeneration of a competition that’s been tired, listless and unfashionable for decades is surely something to be embraced, not shot down just because the lines of communication within her own club failed.
At last the SPFL have managed to deliver some cohesive, joined-up thinking months in the planning and resulting in some of the things the fans and clubs have been crying out for over the last 10 years.
Competitive summer football. The restoration of a winter break for the Premiership sides. A more marketable innovative format that will get people talking and hopefully generate more interest in the nation’s third major competition.
It ticks all the boxes and for a change chief executive Neil Doncaster deserved to be taking pats on the back rather than the kicks up the backside his organisation is more accustomed to copping.
Instead, thanks to Budge and Motherwell owner Les Hutchison, he was fighting the fires of another embarrassing internal row because their noses were out of joint as they were supposedly kept in the dark about the details of the revamp.
It’s rich enough that Hutchison was moaning about being out of the loop from the comfort of his sunshine retreat in Barbados, 4000 miles and four time zones away. But if he has any frustration at being ill-informed, his first port of call should be to the members of his club’s staff who were involved in the Working Group that devised the finer detail of the revamped plans.
Same goes for Budge, who personally attended four meetings where the new proposals were discussed and had a club representative in attendance when the new structure was signed off in September.
But aside from the fact that both clubs were actively involved in the reinvention of the format, even if they had genuinely been kept in the dark by the SPFL their public response was not the way to handle it.
Don’t expect to hear a journalist ever complain about someone coming out and having a pop at the authorities but if either of them had shown common sense, this would have been an argument to have in-house. Instead, by launching into a self-righteous rant Budge sounded more like an easily offended aunty given a last minute invite to a family wedding.
It was as needless as it was ill-informed which seems so unlike her on both counts. This is the first time Budge has put a foot wrong in an otherwise impressive stewardship at Tynecastle but such a public clanger deserves a similarly public apology.
For once it’s time to give the SPFL credit where it’s due.


Limited to two girls, the Morristown gymnastics team did their best against some top competition in the state on Saturday.
The Yellow Jackets competed in the Connersville Invitational with two participants available. The remainder of the team was unavailable due to one being out with an injury and two being quarantined.
Morristown took ninth place in the meet, scoring 56.9 points between the two competitors, Oakliegh Goedde and Kaelee Trittipo.
The meet saw two top-15 teams in the state participate.
No. 6 Columbus North, which took fifth place in last season’s state finals, won the title with 108.525 points. No. 13 Richmond, which took seventh at the state meet a year ago, was runner-up with 108.1 points.
Goedde took 23rd place in the all-around, 21st on beam, 25th on vault, 26th on floor and 30th on bars.
Trittipo took 34th in the all-around, 39th on bars, 40th on bars and beam and 41st on vault.
Competing against top competition allowed the team to see how they compared against the larger teams that competed.
Aside from Columbus North and Richmond, the event included Lapel, which took third place, Northwestern (fourth), Franklin Central (fifth, Roncalli (sixth), the host school Connersville (seventh) and Noblesville (eighth). Union County (10th) and Franklin County (11th) also competed.
Franklin Central’s Austin Dykes and Richmond’s Elizabeth Ruger, who Morristown will see later this week, tied for top honors in the vault and bars. Lapel’s Madi Carpenter won the beam and Columbus North’s Emily Moore and Northwestern’s Catie Smith tied in the floor exercise.
Dykes won the all-around, posting 38.2 points.
Morristown, which had some time off from competing prior to the Connersville Invitational, is scheduled to return to action at 6 p.m. Thursday at Richmond.


CASTLE HILLS, Texas — Castle Hills Police released new video of a chase through different neighborhoods. Police say two juveniles tried to dodge officers in a stolen car. But their get-a-way was short-lived. In the video it appeared to a regular traffic stop late last month, but it looked like the driver had other plans.
In the video you hear the officer say: "Driver go ahead and kill the vehicle. He is heading towards police.”
After these moments in the video, this is where a chase with Castle Hills Police began. Dash camera from two different officers show the driver in a reported stolen vehicle weaving in and out of neighborhoods. In the video, you can tell the driver was not going the speed limit at 2:30 a.m. in late July.
Police said he was also speeding through neighborhoods these officers know by heart. However, the chase didn’t last long, maybe a handful of minutes, as the driver came to a stop. The driver got to a dead end. The video shows the driver, and a passenger running from the SUV. In the video you see another officer’s dash cam showing him jump a fence to go after the duo. The suspects were caught and taken to the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center.
The Castle Hill Police Department recently started posted these types of videos on its Facebook page. Castle Hills Mayor JR Trevino supports releasing these videos.
"It gives you can idea of how quickly some of these things can happen," he said. "It just really highlights the dangers for these officers, and they never know what they’re getting into when they get to that car.”
Police said these videos are going to be part of an on-going series showing how they operate.
"People have this perception that this is a small sleepy community," he said. "I think it is important they see the challenges these officers are going up against every night.”

The day’s theme was youth-led social innovation. The setting was Universidad Latina de Costa Rica (ULatina) in the heart of capital city San José. On October 13, more than 200 students, professors, and public and private sector leaders convened on the campus to learn from young social entrepreneurs from 18 countries about how to be a force for good in a world facing unprecedented challenges.
“It has been truly inspiring to hear from you,” said Costa Rican Vice President Ana Helena Chacón following impassioned presentations by four pioneering young leaders. Each shared their innovative approaches—from predicting and preventing disease in Brazil to upcycling plastic waste in Peru, from combating gender-based violence in Papua New Guinea to empowering individuals with disabilities in Australia to access quality care.
“We need your fresh ideas to build a better world,” she added, pointing to the need for new policies and greater investment in human talent to support innovative solutions.
These youth were among 20 2016 Laureate Global Fellows who spent a week in Costa Rica as the kickoff to their yearlong fellowship. Established through a partnership between Laureate International Universities and IYF’s YouthActionNet® initiative, the fellowship is awarded annually to 18- to 29-year-old founders of successful social ventures.
Earlier in the day, fellows gained insights into common leadership challenges during an executive roundtable discussion. “Have a clear idea of where you’re going and why,” advised Laureate President and COO Enderson Guimarães, adding “a goal without a plan is a hallucination.” He cautioned fellows to “not to wait for perfection” and to learn from their mistakes.
IYF President and CEO Bill Reese spoke to the power of relationship building. “Being a CEO can be a lonely job,” he said. “Create an informal group of friends you can count on,” he urged, pointing to the value of YouthActionNet’s network of fellows, now spanning 1,400 young founders and CEOs in 90 countries, in forging meaningful connections.
Five years ago, ULatina launched Premio Yo Creo, one of 15 YouthActionNet leadership institutes established at Laureate International Universities. The global fellows not only met with Premio Yo Creo alumni but shared their successes—and failures—with university students eager to hear their stories. “Be persistent; be relentless,” said Rehab Eldalil, founder of Catherine Exists in Egypt, encouraging a packed auditorium of students to pursue their social change interests with gusto.
Prior to the conference, fellows participated in a six-day leadership training, with sessions devoted to creating a theory of change, effective storytelling, scaling and sustaining a social venture, systems thinking, gender dynamics, and other topics. The training was the first step in a yearlong experience that will include mentoring, networking, advocacy, and learning opportunities.
“You can’t save the world on your own,” said fellow Chris Mukasa, founder of Fatuma’s Voice in Kenya, commenting on the value of “getting time away to reflect and improve while supporting each another.”

Can we drink water before yoga?
What To Drink Before You Practice: DO drink at least 8 ounces of water 30 minutes before class.
If you are attending an evening class, try to drink half your body weight in water throughout the day prior to your class.
For example, if you weigh 120 lbs, drink 60 ounces of water during the day..
Is Bhastrika dangerous?
Bhastrika should never be done on a full stomach or at night. It revs up the nervous system, which could meddle in relaxing the body for sleep. As the practice is known to generate heat in the system, people with hypertension and heart issues must not attempt practicing Bhastrika.
How many times we can do pranayama in a day?
You must do it at least 60 times, divided throughout the day. The technique is excellent for healing, chakra balancing and getting rid of breathing or respiratory problems. This can be done even after meals. Practicing yoga pose may help speed up the recovery process for those who have recently undergone a surgery.
Does Kapalbhati reduce tummy?
Regular practice of kapalbhati is also beneficial for belly fat loss. … “Practicing Kapalbhati helps in removing blockages in the heart and lungs,” said Anju. 6. It also increases blood supply to various parts of the body.
How many minutes should we do pranayama?
10 minutesYou should feel the air on the roof of your mouth as you exhale. Repeat up to 20 times. When to do it: This breath can be practiced for up to 10 minutes at any time of day. Try it with an asana practice as well.
How many times Kapalbhati can be done?
How Many Times one Should do Kapalbhati? Normally, people perform Kapalbhati one time in a day, but if someone wants to cure critical disease with Kapalbhati, they can do this pranayama 2 or 3 times in a day with an empty stomach.
Is Kapalbhati dangerous?
However numerous benefits of kapalbhati as described by modern day yoga gurus as panacea for many major illnesses are far from truth, misleading and even dangerous. In addition this exercise should never be practiced when an asthmatic attack is in progress, or if pain or dizziness is experienced.
Which time is best for Kapalbhati?
morningYes, Kapalbhati Pranayama can be practised both before and after a run. However, the best time to practice this yogic technique is on an empty stomach early in the morning.
Can I do pranayam after dinner?
Pranayama should not be practiced immediately after meals. You can do pranayama at least three hours after meals. Remember a heavy meal will take much longer to get digested. … After practicing asanas, relax in shavasana before doing pranayama.
Is Kapalbhati killing you?
While we have not continued the study, we have found a 100% correlation between ‘unsupervised exercise’ and cardiac failure.” Most experts say that recklessly practising Kapalbhati can at the very least make you seriously ill.
Does Kapalbhati increase weight?
This eventually increases basal metabolic rate, reduces fat deposition, and ultimately ends up in weight reduction.” In other words, by improving metabolic rate, kapalbhati can lead to weight loss. Indeed this can be a wonderful kapalbhati benefit. Tip: Incorporate kapalbhati in your weight loss strategies.
Can I do pranayam twice a day?
From health and Ayurvedic perspective, I would not recommend a pranayam schedule for more than 10 minutes per day. The purpose of Pranayam is to get the mind concentrated and to get the body still and ready for meditation.
Can Pranayam be done in the evening?
There are lot of Pranayama – One for every purpose like lom-vilom, bhastrika, sheetli, nadi shodhan to name a few. Like if you are feeling hot then you can do sheetli or sheetkari paranayam anytime in evening or morning or afternoon. Similarly there are different paranayama when you feel sleepy or you want to sleep.
Can we do pranayam in periods?
Pranayam is very useful during menstruation as it helps to balance the emotions and calm the mind. It can also help one to deal with any pain. Do remember that there should be no strain with the breath and also no kumbakh and bandhas as these will increase the heat and redirect the prana in the upward direction.
Which pranayama should be done first?
For this purpose nadi shodhana (nadi purification) pranayama is best. Then mudras should be performed to channelize the energy and create specific attitudes of mind, and bandhas to force the energy upward. In hatha yoga the sequence is – Asanas first, then Pranayama, Mudras and Bandhas.
