SportsMed: The value of core stability
The “core” is a complex of joints and musculature that stabilizes the lumbar spine, pelvis and the hips, which provides a foundation for extremity movement and sport performance. Just as the “keystone” is the critical structural component of an arch, the core is critical to the structure and function of the entire musculoskeletal system.
The term “keystone” figuratively describes a central supporting element to a larger structure. This analogy conveys the core’s structural importance to the body and, subsequently, to sport performance and injury prevention.Core stability is the ability to maintain segmental control of the lumbar spine (vertebrae to vertebrae). Stability allows for control of movement and positioning of the trunk over the pelvis and legs during activity. This control is instantaneous and relies on muscular capacity (especially muscle endurance) and neuromuscular timing.
Muscle strength is frequently targeted in core-stability programs. Strength is important; however, weakness is rarely the cause of low-back problems. To the contrary, muscle resistance to fatigue (endurance) and proper timing of muscle activation are usually impaired and must be remediated. Otherwise, the core will not provide a stable base for extremity movement, nor efficiently absorb forces transmitted through the extremities during complex multi-joint activities.
Imagine pitching a baseball without using your core musculature. A pitcher who throws a 90 mph fastball is rotating the shoulder internally at a velocity that exceeds 6,000 degrees per second. The speed of the pitch does not come from the throwing arm alone. This repetitive feat is unattainable without the transfer of energy from the ground and lower extremities, to the upper extremity, which must be transferred through the core.
A poorly conditioned core and poor throwing mechanics can combine to produce abnormal joint displacements, leading to altered performance and ultimately injury of the upper extremity.
Core and extremities
The baseball pitcher example implies a relationship between the core and the extremities. Although sports medicine clinicians and strength-and-conditioning specialists have suspected this link for years, convincing evidence that strongly demonstrates this association was documented only years ago.
Fatigue or dysfunction of the core has been associated with impaired activation of the low back, abdominal and quadriceps muscles, alteration of body posture, and ultimately, an increased risk of injury to the back and lower extremities. Specific lower-extremity injury risk has been demonstrated in the pelvic muscles (hip flexors and adductors and hamstrings), as well as the knee and ankle joints. There also is growing evidence that links core dysfunction to upper-extremity injury risk.
Approximately 85 percent of the population experiences an episode of low-back pain (LBP) in their lifetime, with the greatest level of activity limitation occurring under the age of 45, and with a very high rate of episode recurrence. Pinpointing the underlying cause of LBP can be difficult, due to the multi-factorial nature of the condition, including a strong psychosocial component.
Regardless of the cause, there are very predictable changes that occur in the core musculature from even a first-time episode. For instance, the transverse abdominis, a key core-stabilizing muscle, undergoes specific changes (i.e., delayed activation and intermittent firing), which eliminate the protective role of this muscle. The multifidus muscle group in the low back also experiences pathologic changes, such as atrophy and changes in muscle-fiber type, severely hampering its important stabilizing function.
Sports medicine clinicians, coaches and the athletes must understand that whether the episode results from a back muscle strain or ligament sprain, or an inter vertebral disc injury, these changes have been consistently found and must be addressed.
A common misconception is that a single muscle provides the necessary stability to the core and this muscle becomes the focus of the conditioning or rehabilitation program. No single muscle dominates in the development of core stability. Individual roles of the muscles (both deep and superficial muscles), change continuously during performance of a given movement pattern. The transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles have been identified as key stabilizing muscles that undergo pathological changes as a result of low-back pain.
These deficits do not automatically resolve when pain lessens, so specific exercises must be performed to target these muscles. This focus, however, must not occur at the expense of other muscles of the core, but should be a part of a comprehensive, progressive program that is tailored to the performance capabilities of the athlete.
As with all injuries, the primary focus must be on prevention. Prevention not only includes conditioning programs and emphasis on proper technique, but should also include the identification of an athlete’s risk for injury.
Injury risk can be identified through assessment combined with the knowledge of previous injury history. Previous history is the strongest predictor of the likelihood of future injury. Measures related to core stability can identify individual athletes who have elevated risk for back and lower-extremity injury. Core endurance tests (held for a maximum of 300 seconds), such as the back extension, trunk flexion, side bridge and wall sit, are easy to perform and can be done in the preseason.
Interventions can be developed to modify risk, thereby decreasing injury predisposition. Research evidence strongly supports the value of targeted training for improvement of neuromuscular control of the trunk and lower extremities.
Understanding the “keystone” function of the core is an important piece of the injury-prevention puzzle. Identification of injury-risk factors, and implementation of a comprehensive, progressive core-stability program to address these risks, are other important pieces.
To complete the picture, however, thorough injury documentation, by the sports medicine staff, must be maintained to determine the impact of intervention programs. Injuries need to be tracked prospectively and compared to injury data from previous seasons.
Our research has demonstrated that poor performance on core endurance tests and unresolved low-back symptoms double the risk for strain or sprain of the core or lower extremity in football players. For players who have a high degree of game participation, the risk is three times greater than that for players who have a low-risk profile.
SportsMed appears regularly in Coach & Athletic Director magazine, offering tips on athlete health and injury prevention.

After years of waiting, Borderlands 3 is finally here. The first batch of reviews has gone live for Gearbox's hotly anticipated looter shooter, and they're starting off pretty strong. Most of them talk about a relatively familiar formula, and that point seems to be one of contention. By the sound of it, if you're a Borderlands fan already, this new entry will be like popping on an old pair of slippers. See below for some early verdicts. As for ours, we're still waiting on review code to ping into our inbox, but rest assured we'll share our thoughts as soon as possible.
IGN - 9/10
Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions.
Destructoid - 9/10
Borderlands 3 takes most of the good bits of Borderlands 2 and either rolls with them or improves upon them. It didn't need to reinvent the wheel either, as Gearbox pretty much had the formula figured out the second time around.
GameSpot - 8/10
Borderlands 3 fumbles with its bosses, but the game ultimately continues its predecessors' tradition of fun, mayhem-filled looting and shooting.
USGamer - 4/5
Despite the formula growing a bit stale, Gearbox has expanded upon it in the right way, resulting in a great Borderlands experience.
Game Informer - 8/10
An old formula executed well, Borderlands 3 rarely takes chances or strays from expectation.
PC Gamer - 63/100
An endless font of bad jokes and cool guns in the series' most vapid story yet, Borderlands 3 skates by on watching numbers fly and goons explode.
Are you excited to get started on Borderlands 3 when it arrives at the end of the week? Get looting in the comments below.
Can't wait til Friday!! Glad it's reviewing well overall.
Knew it would be solid, but I'm admittedly a bit put off by the humour. I was half hoping they'd tone it down a bit, but I guess it was never realistically going to happen. Some people really like Borderlands' style of comedy, but I am sadly not one of them. Drives me up the wall.
@redd214 would average reviews of put you off?
The only thing that's putting me off it right now is the live service stuff, doesnt mean I won't be getting it though
Wait BL3 still a thing i totally forgot about it.
is it true people outside usa didnt get review copies for this game ?[just like this site]
@RedMan33 no not at all. But I'm happy for the devs to have made a well reviewed game. Recognition goes a long way.for some people.
Going to try and juggle this and Monster Hunter plus work. Pray for me...
Nice!... can give Division 2 a rest for a bit.
@HailHydra97 It's true!
Just play Monster Hunter thats the better game
More Borderlands is a great thing for me! & Gearbox make great DLC as well.
Greedfall Reviews coming soon it is out tomorrow?
@redd214 true even if it had got 6's & 7's (which are still good scores, I just think a lot of people are snobs when it comes to game scores) I'd still be keeping my eye on it
Never played a Boderlands game, I'll give the first one that was free with Plus a try some time but it's not high on my list. Hope it's good for those that are looking forward to it.
I liked Tales of the Boderlands.
@BearsEatBeets if you never played one I would recommend just starting with 2. Some things may not make sense but the improvements over the first make it a more pleasurable experience imo.
@RedMan33 ive played 100s of hours of the series and pre-ordered this the minute it was up. The scores werent going to sway me in the slightest. Hope you enjoy it if you end up getting it!
Might just be me, but I'd advise maybe holding off on the pre-orders unless you really like Borderlands 2 and want more of the same. Games have moved on since 2012 when B2 came out and it seems slightly suspect that review code has only been sent to select places. Its not just a US/UK divide, personally I like the guys online (like ACG) who produce a long form style review and they haven't got codes either.
@redd214 me too, replayed BL2 again recently and it's still a blast. I'm sure I will when I get it - which will probably be Friday
@BearsEatBeets yeah he's right BL2 is best to start with, it does a great job making the first games playable characters great NPCs and the story doesn't follow on as much as it looks like it will from BL2 into BL3, better shooting and more varied world to explore
@ShogunRok - it started off with a certain charm, but it's been getting more OTT and insufferable as the iterations have progressed. i didn't even finish the story for BL2, after platinuming the first game. i tried importing my PS3 save onto the PS4 version, but on PS4 i was running solo, and found the gameplay quite fatiguing after a couple of hours, and never went back to it. more of the same is kinda of what i expected from BL3 and that was never going to interest me as much as the original did 10 years ago.
Well I still haven't finished BL2 but I think I'll get and finish BL3 first!
BL2 shooting mechanics annoy me somehow...
PC Gamer suck!
PC gamer upset the game is an EGS launch exclusive?
My most hyped release of the year. Unfortunately I’m in the midst of moving, so won’t be able to pick it up for a few weeks. Happy it’s reviewing so well.
@ShogunRok Tiny Tina was possibly the most lurid, horrid npc to ever darken my console...
I reckon somebody at PC Gamer is still mad that Ghost Recon seems to have joined the looter shooter party.
Looking forward to this. Was worried that reviews would be saying that it’s “more of the same”, so it’s good to see its reviewing (mostly) well.
Had a feeling the game would review well. I'll probably get it in the future. Have to brace myself for the tidal wave of new releases in the upcoming months.
Looks like a good contender for the GOTY with MHWI and now this I don't know which one to play now
Borderlands is back.i l😀ve this series.word up son
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm starting to wonder whether hammering BL2 and the Pre-Sequel over the summer may have been a mistake. Don't want to be bloated before the main course even arrives.
Oh well, no point stopping now...
i will hold back my enthusiasm until i know how intrusive the microtransactions are gonna be, how big download the day one bug patch is, and i know the whole game can be played offline.
@redd214 same here I have the super duper deluxe edition preordered and luckily I can start playing Thursday at 9 so I’m counting down the hours
@KnightWolf god this comment about “insert popular game here” and forgetting about it is so played out and frankly annoying and needs to go away fast
@KnightWolf completely different games and it was dumb to even try to compare the two
@Lyonjak I think borderlands fans are fine and know what they are getting into. I mean BL 2 is 7 years old and still played to this day
@ShogunRok I really wish they'd tried to return to the lonely, even mysterious tone of BL1 instead of making another meme-fest where you can't get a moment's peace without someone yelling in your ear. Hopefully more is skippable - it's a real problem having a game that encourages multiple play-throughs where you're forced to stand around listening to the same dialogue again.
I am trying my luck at Borderlands 2 again, after I got kind of bored the first time around.
I like the humor, but the gunplay just felt lackluster, plus the game can drag quite a lot.
I just hope it gets better on higher level. The humor and characters are pretty much the only thing that keeps me going in the game.
Just finished Borderlands 2(well sort of) and I think the characters are some of the best character in games especially Tiny Tina She is hilarious It is just silliness which I er erm like Might start the Pre-sequel today but these games take ages to complete so my massive backlog will have to wait(again)

Few groups from the golden era are still as active as De La Soul. For a crew that grouped their debut in the 80s, their newer material still shows plenty of new life in this veteran group.
Recently De La has jumped into crowdfunding and raised $110,000 to fund their 9th album, titled And the Anonymous Nobody. We’ve been hearing tidbits including a track featuring Snoop ahead of the release date, but Drawn was our favorite. Clearly De La is looking to turn heads. Much of this track is a sultry instrumental with the emcees coming on later. Electronic quartet Little Dragon clearly excels here with an intimate and delicate delivery.

Lecturer: Angus Fletcher, Ph.D.
One of the 20th century’s greatest fiction writers, F. Scott Fitzgerald, was lured by the promise of Hollywood glamour to try his hand at screenwriting. He failed. His misadventure became a cautionary tale for aspiring screenwriters for decades. Meanwhile, Oscar-nominated scriptwriter John Milius, who penned the script for Apocalypse Now, once said that his job was “hackwork.” So which is it? Is writing for the screen a glamorous vocation or formulaic drudgery? Is it a difficult undertaking that can sink a great novelist at the height of his career, or simply another boring day job that requires minimal skill?
What lies at the heart of screenwriting is the same thing that undergirds all great fiction writing: the story. Writing a script is simply another way of telling a story, albeit one with its own special set of possibilities and limitations. If you want to write stories—in any style or genre—the practical and versatile skills you can learn from screenwriting will enhance any tale you want to tell.
Whether you want to write your own scripts or simply gain a deeper appreciation for the great stories you see unfold on the screen, Professor Angus Fletcher is here to show you the way in Screenwriting 101: Mastering the Art of Story. Professor Fletcher, Professor of English and Film at The Ohio State University, brings both a personal and scholarly perspective to this craft. As a screenwriter himself, he has experienced the ins and outs of the process first-hand. And as a key faculty member in Project Narrative, a think tank devoted to using cognitive science to study the effects of stories on the human mind, Professor Fletcher offers unique insight into storytelling from both a neuroscientific and a literary perspective. In the 24 lectures of Screenwriting 101, you will understand not only how to write a script, but how to tell a great story that moves audiences—the ultimate goal of storytelling in any medium.

STORY: India will hold a general election starting on Thursday (April 11) in the world’s largest democratic exercise, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a second straight term.
The election will held in seven phases until May 19 and votes will be counted on May 23.
Ahead of the first phase of voting, officials across the country were seen taking electronic voting machines (EVM) to polling booths and security was heightened to prevent any untoward incident. The election commission has set up about one million polling stations, 10 percent more than in 2014.
Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora made an appeal urging citizens to cast their votes to “strengthen the bedrock of democracy”.
In the first phase of the election, 1,279 candidates are contesting 91 constituencies, but only 7 percent of candidates are women. Of the 8,251 candidates in the last election, only 668 were women.

By DownsizeDC.org Right now, the FDA is a murderous dictatorship
We have a campaign that would allow doctors, patients, and drug producers to opt-out of the FDA. In other words…
If you only wanted to use FDA approved drugs, you could do that.
But if you wanted to use a drug that was not yet approved by the FDA, you could do that too.

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – The Philippine National Police turned over more than a hundred motorcycles to various police offices in the Cordillera region to be used in intensified police operations.
Police Regional Office-Cordillera (PRO-Cor) Regional Director Elmo Francis Sarona distributed 110 motorcycles to its provincial and city offices in the region following the blessing ceremonies at the Camp Dangwa grounds last week.
Abra PPO received 29 units, 9 for Apayao PPO, 13 for Baguio City Police Office, 15 for Benguet PPO, 13 for Ifugao PPO, 12 for Mountain Province PPO, 10 for Kalinga PPO and 9 for the Regional Headquarters and National Support Units.
“These motorcycles will be used in responding to incidents quicker because of its maneuverability on crowded streets, small alleys, and during traffic. It offers advantages not provided by four-wheel police patrol vehicles” Sarona said.
The distribution of motorcycles is in line with the PNP Capability Enhancement Program (CEP) wherein 2,449 units of 135cc Kawasaki Rouser Motorcycles were distributed to all PNP units including the PRO-Cor.
The CEP is a 5-year Procurement Plan intended to fill up shortages in move, shoot, and communications equipment.
Meanwhile, 64 members of the Regional Public Safety Battalion of the PRO-Cor were given blessing for their upcoming marijuana eradication operations in Kalinga province./JDP/RMC- PIA CAR#

Subtitles are perfect for people watching a video on a crowded train or for those who forgot their headphones at home. They’re a lifesaver if you ask a taciturn homebody stuck at a loud party. And a whetstone to sharpen your reading skills because let’s be honest, when was the last time you picked up a book to read? Subtitles are intended for those who know to read, don’t speak the show’s language, or have hearing disabilities. But now, most of us, despite knowing the language or despite having the gift of hearing, prefer adding them to everything we watch. It eases auditory comprehension, perhaps. We cannot just sit back while our ears miss the most crucial dialogues because it’s incomprehensively pitched down or delivered in a baffling dialect or accent. We need to give in to subtitles because, unlike the response to a real-life ‘pardon or sorry what?’ the actors won’t repeat themselves, and there’s no gift to hear over our own nonstop munching on chips until the fingers are mopping the salt at the bottom of the bag.
Watching Is Reading
With Subtitles, our collective consciousness transcended from reading to watching and then back to reading again. While reading a fantasy novel, we imagine the dragon described in it and construct its scenes word for word using primary imagination. Similarly, while binging on a foreign language drama, we read the subtitles – all but to make entertainment readable. In many ways, it is through subtitles literature is breaking barriers, creating bridges, and getting educational. Akin to the playbook of life, everything that goes comes back, like in a circle; the art of cinema usually originates from a sheet of literature – the script. From the makers to its audiences, reading becomes a formidable activity. Flavorful entertainment augmented by the metamorphosis of the script to subtitles completes a full circle of literature. Some cinematic meanings are hard to convey without text. Subtitles help them reach us comfortably. It could be a fictional location or a foreign language; subtitles bear the cross of translating the message to us. How else would you understand Dothraki, Klingon, or Latin? While the waltz of eyeballs might initially make subtitles a little challenging, it becomes seamless with time and practice.
Subtitles have dissolved the barrier between languages and basic literacy. Reading subtitles boost foundational reading skills. Studies have proven that closed captions and subtitles boost users’ fluency, phonics, and word recognition. A breakdown of the act of watching includes imbibing information in an audiovisual format as part of our daily activity. It sure differs from reading and writing; however, many of the same cognitive senses are at play while watching something for entertainment. We train ourselves to read as part of watching. Reading fits in as naturally as breathing in our audiovisual entertainment formats. Extending the same analogy, the art of cinema that way has been breathed in and consumed more freely through subtitles. Besides, reading subtitles so often might increase your interest in learning a new language.
The Cycle of Literature
Subtitles are a part of literature when viewed through the glass of translation. Theatre-goers had playbills; we have words and letters at the bottom of our screens. For the not so well traveled, subtitles are a form of a window to the world, generating familiar meanings for foreign words and phrases and simultaneously introducing the culture it represents. It is “not a matter of words only; it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture” (Anthony Burgess). Subtitles act as the artistic medium of cultural confluence, like translation literature. However, this technical translation is bound to lose an array of elements despite the linguist’s skillset and the translator’s prowess. Nuanced emotions, poetry, and humor remain unattended or unappreciated in the gaps and cracks of translation. Whenever a dialogue is translated into the receiving language, emotional, poetic, and humorous expressions are localized, delocalized, and generalized for the global audience. One of the internet uproars that exemplifies this aspect is the Korean show Squid Game’s error in subtitles and cc translation. There is no possible way subtitles or translation, in general, can retain certain emotive expressions from the original language. It can only improve its precision.
“Every act of communication is a miracle of translation.”
– Ken Liu, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories.
Speaking of inaccurate and careless subtitling, a plethora of memes on ‘when subtitles go wrong’ is one google search away. With the surge of virtual socialization, a Meta narrative for subtitles can be detected in online communities. They cross-check facts and philosophies in subtitles, often translate better, and feed each other with more precise cultural information.
However, subtitles are still going strong. Despite the loss of an accurate introduction to a whole new world, the eutony of the words in new languages draws immense attention from the viewers. So much so that words like ‘daebak,’ ‘banchan,’ to ‘dadagiri’ have made it to the Oxford English Dictionary. Apart from the sonically pleasurable words that refuse to leave our minds, the lifestyle, customs, traditions, and philosophy of a new culture draw us in. Sometimes the original intent is lost in subtitles; however, discovering new cultures and communities makes up for it. What is lost in translation is gained in cultural recognition.
Feeding The Curious Mind
Subtitles have unknowingly become part of our conscious choice. Whether it is curiosity about other cinematic cultures or simply the algorithm, we regularly click on foreign movies and shows. Even in an environment utterly bereft of multilingualism, the phenomenon of subtitles has grown its roots. Subtitles have become a good habit that enriches consumers with cultural cognition. People who can’t imagine knowing another language or dialect find themselves watching Turkish dramas regularly or Derry Girls in Irish English on Netflix with the subtitles on. It is new, it is exciting. Knowing about something foreign is fulfilling, especially at the inexpensive convenience of home entertainment. In a world of OTT platforms, English is not the universal language anymore. Exhibit A: the influx of Japanese Anime and Manga, the k-wave, etc.
“Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films”- Bong Joon Ho
Subtitles are a tool for marginalized cultures to put themselves at the fore. Art is not only an expression; it’s also an impression.
Be Nice To Subtitles
Life without subtitles seems unimaginable these days. It is not just Google that ranks videos with subtitles higher, people in daily life prefer it too. Subtitles as a marketing tool have shown a massive global impact in improving communication and business reach through enhanced semantic density and inclusivity. Adding subtitles to videos amplifies not only its recognition but also supports the disability community, especially people with a hearing deficiency which marks almost 5% of global consumers. Many see subtitles as extra reading assignments for which they did not sign up. Subtitles are not compulsory for the viewing experience, yet it is necessary. Great content is delivered via subtitles; why should anyone reject that? Or are we afraid of adapting too well to subtitles, almost an evolutionary habit that will later render us completely helpless without them? For the love of Kdramas, let’s just binge for now.

When he witnesses James, suffer a panic attack, a protective instinct he never knew he had kicks in. He truly believes nothing is unobtainable—including James—if he’s willing to put in the time and effort.
James is shy and confused by Seth’s interest in him as a person. With Seth’s support, can he work through his fears to finally find the true love he deserves, or will someone finally land the crushing blow he won’t survive?
*M/M Contemporary Romance w/ (lite) BDSM elements*
Madison’s Review: ♥♥♥♥4 Hearts
Despite his physical disability, James is a strong, self-sufficient individual. After surviving a great deal of physical and emotional abuse, he understandably has difficulty trusting people, and he tends to limit his social encounters to spending time with his best friend, Chase.
When he meets Seth, there’s an instant attraction, but James hesitates to get involved with someone for fear that he’ll get hurt again. Seth sees through James’s defenses, though, and gently but firmly plants himself in James’s life. I love how understanding Seth is and how in tune he is with James’s needs.
There are some elements of BDSM in the story, with James being the more submissive partner. Seth comes across as a loving and gentle dom who is sensitive to James’s needs and who comes up with some creative workarounds given James’s physical and emotional limitations. Seth is also very giving, both in and out of the bedroom, which I loved.
The story is well written and definitely threw some unexpected twists at me! I love that James got the family life he so wanted by the end. I know they’ll be very happy together!
Thommie’s Review: ♥ 1 Heart
Just how much is too much?
This was the main question popping in my mind while reading this book. I did not like this at all. The overbearing plot that was suffocated with so many elements and incidents, so much hate attacks onto one single person was plain and simple unreal.
We get to witness a most non-realistic relationship blooming seemingly out of nowhere. Seth and James met and in a matter of – God I don’t even know how much time passed as the concept of time was a blur and you could never really get a grasp of it – a heartbeat they became not only a couple, but a family, with a child in the ready and a happily ever after that was more than Godsend. The premises of their relationship were non-existent, the BDSM element that came with it as a non-negotiable fact was ludicrous, and I had no idea how the “Sir” calling on James’ behalf came about? Especially since James was, so hell bound on not having a “kinky” relationship to begin with. The obsessive and controlling behavior on Seth’s part was quite surreal, so much so that had me cringing and questioning the sanity of that character. James’ reaction to him came awfully near to a person suffering from Stockholm syndrome. They simply did not make sense. Nothing they did really made sense.
And as for the abuse, James suffered from practically everybody in this damned story that was just too painful to read. And again, I come to ask myself; just how much is too much? Because what I read surpassed even that.
I made notes on thing I came across that were out of context or lacked credibility or out of the sphere of reality altogether. But as I reviewed them in order to get my wits about and write this review so it could be constructive, I saw they were too much and sorting them out and writing them, down would make this review an essay on this book.
So I’m not going to dwell and linger on them. For me this book was not good and required a serious case of revision before it went out on the shelves, because while the idea was enticing, everything failed to make it an enjoyable read.

Gadget Freak: The Legend Of The Sony Discman
Thanks to the modern technology, music has become a steady constant in the lives of most of us. You can now listen to your favorite songs at home, in your car, while jogging, and even while showering or swimming.
However, before we had all of the gadgetry of nowadays, things were a lot more complicated, but no less fun. After the age of the popular Walkman and the music tapes it required, the era of compact disks began, and with them came the Discman.
Out With The Old, In With The New
The first one to do this – as in most of the cases – was the Japanese Sony.
Sony’s first-ever portable CD player wore the product name of Discman. Released in 1984, this gadget was able to read and reproduce music written on discs, and it was small enough to be carried in a backpack.
Cassette tapes might have been smaller, but the sound quality was incomparably better on compact disc. This pushed more and more people towards the innovative and better-sounding Discman, which went through many changes throughout the years.
Up until the very end of the 20th century, the Sony Discman was still going strong. Then, MP3 players started popping out – more compact and economic than the Walkman and Discman ever were, these tiny gadgets swarmed the market and replaced the old technology quickly.
Although Sony was among the first to transfer to the digital music players, the bulky and loyal Discman will always have its place in the hearts of many of us.

Voice of the Journal Editors
Information Overload: Coping with a Quagmire
Historically, the first person who has created the present avalanche of information overload is Johannes Gutenberg (1398-1468) who introduced printing press and the movable type to Europe. His invention of mechanical movable type printing to Europe initiated the printing revolution and is widely regarded as the most important invention of the second millennium for his machine ushered in the modern period of human history.
Gutenberg shattered the ignorance of the masses. His printing machine played a critical role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the Scientific Revolution. In the process, he established the foundation for modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses. Thus, in Renaissance Europe, the revolution in printing introduced the era of mass communication which permanently changed the structure of society. The relatively unrestricted circulation of information created the information overload.
In his groundbreaking book, Future Shock (1971), Alvin Toffler sounded the first warning more than 45 years ago. He theorized that the human brain has finite limits on how much information it can absorb and process. When a certain level of information exceeded that limit, the brain becomes overloaded. As a result, thinking and reasoning become dulled, decision-making delayed, flawed and in some cases the process of thinking stops. Even though Toffler was not a psychologist, he prognosticated that information overload will eventually lead to widespread physical and mental disturbances. Toffler called this problem "future shock syndrome."
In the 1970s, Toffler's warning sounded like a dose of science fiction; however, today some scientists argue that Toffler was right. They maintain that information overload can indeed cause stress build-up and disturb the central nervous system which causes harmful mental and physical changes. According to a British psychologist (David Lewis), not too many people are dying because they are exposed or getting too much information, but that they do not know how to handle information overload. Consequently, people are getting depressed by the overwhelming amount of information thrown at them.
Indeed, in the United States, people are being overwhelmed with tons of information. Every day, the flow of data coming from TV news, the Internet, e-mails, voicemail, newspapers, books and others is unrelenting. People are bombarded with information no matter where they happen to be at work, in the car, at the golf course, or at the movies, they are besieged by information and data. There is nowhere to go and hide from all that assault. According to an estimate, a single issue of the New York Times contains more information than the average 17th-century person would come across in an entire lifetime.
Most researchers are pointing the finger to the growth of technology for the barrage of information assault on our senses. The main culprit to blame has been the Internet via its unrestricted flow of e-mails on a minute basis and its culprit the Web. The average person is inundated with information despite the fact that the average person today is better prepared to absorb and process it than its primitive cousins.
The 21st-century man seems to have become addicted to more information. Regardless of the depressing influence of being swamped with facts and trivia, people seek out more information to make decisions. The average person has developed a voracious appetite for "more information". The consequences of this behavior is to be paralyzed by the huge amount of information thrown at him or her to devour.
How can we deal with this growing monster, the information overload?
The most important defense against information overload is the recognition of its existence, placing high value on one's time, and a determination to do something about it when it begins to cause depression, or slowing down in decision making, and constantly postponing tasks to read more about them.
Drawing upon many social-psychological research findings, there are three major areas wherein we need to exercise restraint: At home, at work, and at play.
At Home. There are three major tasks to be undertaken seriously in order to combat information overload depression. One is to limit TV viewing time and the other is to kill junk mail. Secondly, to appeal to the Direct Marketing Association to help you deal with junk mailers and ask them to remove your name and address from all the direct mail lists with which they are associated. Thirdly, fight against the beguiling temptation to explore the vast territory of the Web. Surfing the Web for hours should stop. Limit your time on the Internet to gaining access to some information you really need. Once, found, then stop the addiction of surfing the Web for hours at a time just to find random information.
At Work. There three main ways to control the monster of information overload at work. One way is to abstain from the time-consuming task to read all of your incoming e-mails. Try to glance at the subject line to identify most frivolous ones and delete them right away. Secondly, keep meetings in control by adhering to the specifics on the agenda and avoid by eliminating discussion of irrelevant matters by introducing off-target data and information. Thirdly, try to eliminate duplication by letting your colleagues know your preferred means of communication. Ask them to stop sending you the same information via an e-mail, a fax, or by phone. You would waste time paying attention to all three mode of communication. Reducing the flow of information through either e-mail or telephone would reduce the amount of information overload by the end of the day.
At Play. There are many ways to use your own filter system to control information overload, but let us discuss the three major ones here: One is to turn off your cellular telephone from registering messages. If a message is very important, it will be also sent either to your home or office as well. So, enjoy some peace of mind when you are away from work. Secondly, stop picking up free brochures about services and products if you are at the shopping center. These items will demand that you read them right away to see what deals are being offered. Thirdly, exercise discretion in choosing the data or information you want to digest and only pay attention to that instead of exploring all tangential information about a subject, issue, product, service, etc. Like if you want to control information overload, stop reading every billboard you pass by on the freeway just they happen to be there.
Most psychologist try to remind us that time is a non-renewable resource and that we all get 168 hours per week. As a result, we should view time as a valuable finite asset, and try to invest in it rather than spend it on frivolous or irrelevant data and information out there in our environment. It takes a while to screen out information as noise, but once we recognize it as such, we ignore it. The taming of the information load beast is not easy, but we should make valiant effort to mitigate its effect, if not to conquer it entirely. At home, at work, and at play just because we have access to all the information in the world, we do not have to process it all. Instead, be selective and be happy to be ignorant of the existence of irrelevant data and information. Forced ignorance, in this situation, would reduce the tyranny and depression-inducing monster called information overload.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). We investigated the relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms and current and future diagnosis of PD dementia (PDD). Individuals with PD who had a study partner were enrolled (n=696). Study partners were administered the Neuropsychiatric Inventory or Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire at baseline. Participants were assigned a cognitive diagnosis at baseline and follow up visits. Hallucinations were significantly associated with a diagnosis of PDD cross-sectionally (p<0.001) and with shortened time to dementia longitudinally among initially nondemented participants (n=444; p=0.005). Screening for hallucinations may be useful for assessing risk of dementia in participants with PD.

The Power of Affirmation
“The Power of Affirmation”
We as humans each have the ability to think positive but also the ability to refrain from negativity. How do we keep our minds away from what wants to poison us into feeling a certain way that affects our choices and actions? If you think about it, you can’t just feel an emotion if you tell yourself not to feel that way. If I wake up in the morning and see that it is cloudy, I can automatically set myself up if I choose to let my hate for the rain dictate my mood. As my mind thinks on why it hates the rain, my emotions follow what I believe and my actions portray that. I ruined my day already by transmitting my negative emotions to the universe in which it will respond in the way in which I choose to feel. The universe is the hidden world around us. It is the mystery in which the earth has its own way in making the flowers grows, when it decides when it is going to rain, and when it chooses to stop. The ecosystem falls into place with what is hidden inside the universe making everything around us work. We may have an explanation or a way in tracking those things and be able to give an explanation in why those things happen. What we fail to realize is that the world is a mystery itself and works around what we choose to give to it. An affirmation is a way of positive spoken words influencing our thought process into affirming what it is we desire and choose to believe in which it will be implanted in our subconscious. From doing that on a daily basis, it will turn into a habit in which our actions and emotions will reflect on.
I choose to make life the way I envision it to be.
To make my dreams come true I must first know what it is I want.
I work diligently as I embark on a journey of self-realization.
I choose how I want to act as I say how it is I choose to feel.
My life is a life of richness filled with happiness and gratefulness.
I am excited but thankful for the things I have and not a slave to what I yearn to posses.
I keep my head leveled knowing all things are just materialistic; soon to fade and be replaced.

Molds are used for many things. Be it the production of statues in concrete, cement, polyurethane, polyester, etc. or even making sweets. These molds are often made of silicone because of its flexibility and good resistance to aging by UV and temprature. Some silicone can withstand temperatures of 380 ° C for short periods of time and are therefore suitable for metals with low melting point like some tin compounds.
Silicones come in many different types, from one component silicone sealant to two or more components liquid silicone which harden at room temperature. In industrial applications one often uses silicone compounds which are processed with presses or injection machines at higher temperature.
For many applications, a two component room temeprature hardening silicone will do the trick, but for added strength, we recommend the use of silicone compounds (silicone paste) which usually harden at higher temperatures.
Moulds are often made via the casting process in which the original is placed in a container and silicone is poured over it. With more demanding or bigger models however it is easier to make the silicone paste like and brush it against the model. The silicone skin thus obtained has got a lot of detail but no dimensional stability. For this you would need a support hull made e.g. form epoxy or Acrylic resin.

Fast Tracking Corporate Dictatorship?
This week, while most Americans were distracted and divided over flags and rainbows, their Congress bought and paid for by Big Business, gave President Obama the authority to fast-track the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Ellen Brown, attorney and author of Web of Debt, recently shed some light on what’s *really* going on via truthdig:
The terms of the TPP and the TiSA are so secret that drafts of the negotiations are to remain classified for four years or five years, respectively, after the deals have been passed into law. How can laws be enforced against people and governments who are not allowed to know what was negotiated?
The TPP, TiSA and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (or TTIP, which covers Europe) will collectively encompass three-fourths of the world’s GDP; and they ultimately seek to encompass nearly 90 percent of GDP. Despite this enormous global impact, fast-track authority would allow the President to sign the deals before their terms have been made public, and send implementing legislation to Congress that cannot be amended or filibustered and is not subject to the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds treaty vote.
While the deals are being negotiated, lawmakers can see their terms only under the strictest secrecy, and they can be subjected to criminal prosecution for revealing those terms. What we know of them comes only through WikiLeaks. The agreements are being treated as if they were a matter of grave national security, yet they are not about troop movements or military strategy. Something else is obviously going on…
What is going on was predicted by David Korten in his 1995 blockbuster, When Corporations Rule The World. Catherine Austin Fitts calls it a “corporate coup d’état.”
This corporate coup includes the privatization and offshoring of the judicial function delegated to the US court system in the Constitution, through Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions that strengthen existing ISDS procedures.
As explained in The Economist, ISDS gives foreign firms a special right to apply to a secretive tribunal of highly paid corporate lawyers for compensation whenever the government passes a law to do things that hurt corporate profits — such things as discouraging smoking, protecting the environment or preventing a nuclear catastrophe. Arbitrators are paid $600-700 an hour, giving them little incentive to dismiss cases. The secretive nature of the arbitration process and the lack of any requirement to consider precedent give wide scope for creative judgments – the sort of arbitrary edicts satirized by Lewis Carroll in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
To date, the highest ISDS award has been for $2.3 billion to Occidental Oil Company against the government of Ecuador over its termination of an oil-concession contract, although the termination was apparently legal. Under the TPP, however, even larger and more unpredictable judgments can be anticipated, since the sort of “investment” it protects includes not just “the commitment of capital or other resources” but “the expectation of gain or profit.” That means the rights of corporations extend not merely to their factories and other “capital” but to the profits they expect to receive. Just the threat of a massive damage award for impairing “expected corporate profits” could be enough to discourage prospective legislation by lawmakers.
The Trade in Services Agreement adds additional barriers to proposed legislation. TiSA involves 51 countries, including every advanced economy except the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). The deal would liberalize global trade in services covering close to 80% of the US economy, including financial services, healthcare, education, engineering, telecommunications, and many more. It would restrict how governments can manage their public laws, and it could dismantle and privatize state-owned enterprises, turning those services over to the private sector. It would also block the emerging trend to return privatized services to the public sector, by limiting or prohibiting governments from creating or reestablishing public utilities and other “uncompetitive” forms of service delivery.
It seems that the TPP, TTIP and TiSA are not about the sort of “free trade” that would free local businesses to sell abroad. They are about freeing international corporations from the government regulation necessary to protect the economy, the people, and the environment. They are about preserving privatized monopolies and preventing competition from the public sector. And they are about moving litigation offshore into private arbitrary tribunals – the sort of tribunal that might have lost Alice her head, if she had not awakened from her bizarre dream.

Water heater hookup with sidearm supplimental heater
Asked Jun 26, 2008, 05:24 PM
Hello: I'm hooking up a sidearm heater to an existing electric water heater for use with an outdoor wood furnace. I've seen diagrams showing the upper port of the potable water side hooked up to the anode port, the TPV port, and the cold water inlet port. My initial thought is that plumbing it into the cold water inlet with the appropriate check valve and expansion tank woukd be the best way to do it. My concern is that the dip tube on the inlet port runs to the bottom of the storage tank and I'm afraid this will affect the thermo siphon action. Anybody out there have any experience with this?

Miriam Bukhsh isn’t comfortable with those odds. That’s why the University of Michigan-Dearborn senior spends hours in the lab trying to find a cure for triple negative breast cancer.
Bukhsh works closely with UM-Dearborn Lecturer Cecilia Speyer to test whether a prescription drug used to treat epilepsy also can limit the spread of cancer cells in triple negative breast cancer patients.
“This experience is invaluable,” said Bukhsh, who plans to graduate in April with bachelor’s degrees in biological sciences and health policy studies. “I love it because it’s such an interesting way to go about things. To not know the answers and then to walk into a situation, knowing that you could possibly fail. That’s what makes it exciting.”
But Bukhsh doesn’t focus on the negatives. Neither does her instructor, Speyer, who also serves as the project’s lead researcher.
Speyer has been researching triple negative breast cancer for about eight years.
“When I first started doing breast cancer research, my mother was diagnosed a year later with triple negative,” said Speyer, whose mother now is cancer free.
The personal connection, along with the absence of a targeted therapy, drives Speyer to help find a cure. That drive recently has inspired Speyer and Bukhsh to investigate a prescription drug used to treat epilepsy.
Through human and non-human trials, Speyer and her team of researchers, including Bukhsh, test whether the drug can provide targeted therapy to triple negative breast cancer patients.
“The collaborative work that Miriam and Cecilia are engaged in speaks to the power and importance of student-faculty research,” said Martin Hershock, College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters dean. “Not every university offers this sort of opportunity and not every university can point to the level of faculty expertise that makes this type of interaction possible. I think UM-Dearborn, because of the quality of our faculty and because of our intimate size, is uniquely positioned to provide such rich teaching and learning partnerships.”
Aside from the importance of breast cancer research, Speyer said the experience greatly benefits students, like Bukhsh.
“They get the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience performing basic and clinical research at a teaching hospital,” said Speyer, who conducts research at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit. “I think it’s really important for pre-medical students to see firsthand what it’s like to do clinical research, while practicing medicine. It also allows them to see that there are other opportunities outside of medical school.”
Bukhsh agrees that her experience working with Speyer has benefited her in the classroom.
“I now have a new way of approaching my education,” Bukhsh said.

Privilege is a useful concept. It forces us to examine ourselves and our actions. If humility leads to better leadership, as Jim Collins’ research in Good to Great suggests, acknowledging our privilege can help us be better leaders.

How do you know if a interval is major or minor?
A minor interval has one less semitone than a major interval.
For example: since C to E is a major third (4 half steps), C to Eb is a minor third (3 half steps).
For example: since C to E is a major third (4 semitones), C to Eb is a minor third (3 semitones)..
What interval is F to F sharp?
But we have to go one semitone higher to reach F#. We have to augment the perfect fourth, so the interval will be the augmented fourth. It’s a sixth. 9 semitones make it a major sixth.

In classical music, a third is a musical interval encompassing three staff positions (see Interval number for more details), and the major third ( Play (help·info)) is a third spanning four semitones. Along with the minor third, the major third is one of two commonly occurring thirds.
What is the meaning of intervals?
1a : a space of time between events or states. b British : intermission. 2a : the difference in pitch between two tones. b : a space between objects, units, points, or states.
How do you know if its a perfect interval?
Music Theory for the 21st-Century Classroom Remember that all the notes above the tonic in a major scale are perfect or major. Determine if the upper note is in the major scale. If it is not, determine if the interval is a half step smaller than a major interval, in which case it is a minor interval.
What are the two types of intervals?
The space between any two pitches is called an interval. Whole steps and half steps are two types of intervals. A whole step can also be called a major 2nd, and half steps are sometimes called minor 2nds.
What is intervals in math?
In mathematics, a (real) interval is a set of real numbers that contains all real numbers lying between any two numbers of the set. For example, the set of numbers x satisfying 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 is an interval which contains 0, 1, and all numbers in between.
What is a major 3rd above F?
An inverted interval is just an interval that is turned upside down. For example, in the steps above, one of the intervals we measured was a major 3rd above F, which is note A.
What are the intervals of a minor scale?
Natural Minor scale — a scale that contains half-steps between 2-3 and 5-6 scale degrees (the natural form). Harmonic minor scale — a form of a minor scale with half steps between 2-3, 5-6 and 7-8. Its unique interval is that between 6-7 — the whole plus half step (or augmented 2nd).
What are intervals on a graph?
Intervals of Increasing/Decreasing/Constant: Interval notation is a popular notation for stating which sections of a graph are increasing, decreasing or constant. Interval notation utilizes portions of the function’s domain (x-intervals).
What are the types of intervals?
Main intervalsNumber of semitonesMinor, major, or perfect intervalsAugmented or diminished intervals1Minor secondAugmented unison2Major secondDiminished third3Minor thirdAugmented second4Major thirdDiminished fourth10 more rows
What interval is F to E flat?
Therefore, this interval is a major seventh. Now for your second question, F to E-flat: If we play an F major scale, we’ll discover that E-flat is not in the scale. Instead, E natural is scale degree 7.
What pitch is a major sixth m6 above E?
Note interval inversion For example, in the steps above, one of the intervals we measured was a major 6th above E, which is note C#.
What are melodic intervals?
A musical interval is the distance between two pitches. When the pitches are consecutive the distance is referred to as a melodic interval; when the pitches are concurrent the distance is referred to as a harmonic interval. The simplicity of these definitions is deceptive.
How do you do intervals in math?
Intervals are written with rectangular brackets or parentheses, and two numbers delimited with a comma. The two numbers are called the endpoints of the interval. The number on the left denotes the least element or lower bound. The number on the right denotes the greatest element or upper bound.
What are the perfect intervals?
Perfect intervals have only one basic form. The first (also called prime or unison), fourth, fifth and eighth (or octave) are all perfect intervals. These intervals are called “perfect” most likely due to the way that these types of intervals sound and that their frequency ratios are simple whole numbers.
What is a third interval?
A third is an interval equal to three scale degrees that is most commonly major or minor*: Major Third (M3) Equal to four half steps; the distance between G—B is a major third.
What interval is A to F?
sixthThe interval between A and F is a sixth. Note that, at this stage, key signature, clef, and accidentals do not matter at all. The simple intervals are one octave or smaller. If you like you can listen to each interval as written in Figure 4.34: prime, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, octave.
How do intervals work?
An interval is the distance between pitches. Intervals have a number and a prefix. The number represents the number of pitch names (A,B,C,D,E,F,G) from the first to the second pitch. For example, the whole step F to G contains two pitch names, F and G.
Why is it called perfect fifth?
The term perfect identifies the perfect fifth as belonging to the group of perfect intervals (including the unison, perfect fourth and octave), so called because of their simple pitch relationships and their high degree of consonance.
How do you tell if a graph is a function?
Use the vertical line test to determine whether or not a graph represents a function. If a vertical line is moved across the graph and, at any time, touches the graph at only one point, then the graph is a function. If the vertical line touches the graph at more than one point, then the graph is not a function.

LB Zachary Orr will remain retired
By Mark Chichester • Aug 18, 2017BALTIMORE, MD - NOVEMBER 22: Linebacker Zach Orr #54 of the Baltimore Ravens reacts after a play against the St. Louis Rams in the fourth quarter at M&T Bank Stadium on November 22, 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)
- Free agent LB Zachary Orr has announced that he will remain retired. Orr originally retired in January due to a congenital spinal condition, but considered a return to the game following a second opinion. Orr spoke to 17 teams over the last few months, but failed to receive the medical clearance to return.
- Orr played 961 defensive snaps for the Baltimore Ravens in 2016. He ended the campaign with 49 stops (solo tackles that constitute an offensive failure) – the ninth most among inside linebackers, and 97 tackles – the seventh most.
- In 2016, Orr was active against the run. He produced 34 stops on 320 run defense snaps, and finished fourth among inside linebackers with run-stop percentage of 10.6 percent.

This spring will see households and businesses across Longford receive unique postcodes as part of the rolling-out of the new nationwide Eircode system.
Costing €27 million to implement, Eircode is designed to provide each home and commercial premises with its own unique identification code, unlike post codes in other countries which only identify localised areas. The Government claims this should make deliveries of mail and services easier, as well as allowing emergency services to accurately pinpoint the location of a call-out.
Each Eircode will consist of seven characters. The first three will comprise the ‘routing key’, or area code, which will benefit postal and logistics services when sorting mail. The remaining four characters will be a unique identifier for the property, drawn from a “carefully selected” set of letters and numbers.
At a sitting of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications last November, Liam Duggan of Capita Ireland, the company tasked with developing Eircode, said that, “There’s no other country in the world that uses a unique identifier postcode at this time. It’s a world first.”
Also appearing before the committee was Patricia Cronin, Eircode’s programme manager at the Department of Communications, who explained that the purpose of unique identifier codes for each property was to avoid “postcode discrimination and ghettos”, as well as issues with non-unique addresses.
Ms Cronin also told the committee that, “We have spoken to the National Consumer Agency, logistics companies and Digital Rights Ireland, with which we have had an in-depth conversation to see if there is anything in the proposal that might be considered to have an impact on anyone’s privacy”, and added that “Broadly, they are satisfied with what we are doing.”
However, Digital Rights Ireland has since objected to this assertion, and in a letter to the Minister for Energy, Communications and Natural Resources, Alex White TD, Antóin Ó Lachtnáin of Digital Rights Ireland made it clear the organisation was “not at all satisfied” with Eircode’s design.
“Our view is that you are taking a very dangerous and needless step into the unknown by going ahead with the code as currently proposed,” he wrote. “We gave details of an immediate privacy problem that will present itself immediately after launch. We warned that the mitigating measures that the Department is proposing would not really help, and might even be a distraction from other critical project issues.
“We warned that the legal protections of the data protection regime would be largely unenforceable in the context of global Internet advertising networks.
He added that, “Simple changes would bring Eircode into line with international best practice and would greatly alleviate the privacy concerns”.
Last week the Department of Communications clarified that Ms Cronin did not attribute views on privacy to any particular organisation, and did not state that she discussed data protection with the National Consumer Agency when she appeared before the Oireachtas committee.
Separately, Emergency Services personnel have also expressed concerns about Eircode ahead of its introduction.
“Because Eircode does not identify small local areas, it will be of little benefit for the large number of callouts to road traffic accidents and other emergencies that are along roads and in other industrial and transport infrastructure rather than inside buildings,” said the Chairman of the Irish Fire and Emergency Services Association, John Kidd.
“Our colleagues in Northern Ireland are used to postcodes that can be learned and are predictable so that they can find localities easily from memory. Eircode does not offer that capability and it will not be visible on street signs to help the public raise the alarm when they are in difficulty.”
