Taking on one of North America’s picturesque road courses, Caleb Gafrarar battled the rest of the Skip Barber Racing Series competitors at the famed 4.048-mile, 14-turn Road America. Improving on his starting positions in both races, the young North Carolina resident and formula car rookie garnered a second-place podium result as he shifts his focus towards the next event in a few weeks’ time.
Kicking the weekend off with practice on Friday, Gafrarar kickstarted his weekend with a fifth-place result in qualifying to line up on the inside of row three for the first wheel-to-wheel action that afternoon.
“We had the speed in the first race, but a slight mistake cost me the draft, and I had to work hard to catch the drivers in front of me,” explained Caleb. “We did manage to turn the third fastest lap which will set us up for a good start tomorrow after a top-five finish today.”
Returning to the track Sunday for the second race of the weekend, Gafrarar proved his prowess as he found himself at the pointy end of the field. Making some bold moves to put himself in a position for the win, he crossed the line in the second position to celebrate on the second step of the podium.
Gafrarar added, “It is always great to finish the weekend on a high as this will provide some momentum toward our next event. A huge thank you to all my partners that help get me to where I am today.”
With the next event a week away, August 23-24 at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, Caleb Gafrarar will not have to wait long to fight again for his first win of the season. The remaining schedule includes Sebring International Raceway, the Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, and the Circuit of the Americas to close out the 2023 season.
Caleb Gafrarar would like to thank Skip Barber Racing Series, Circle K, Bell Helmets, Molecule, Minus 273, ULV, From the Ashes, and CPI Security for the continued support as we continue the 2023 racing season.

SSC North America, the US-based car company that cooked up the already ludicrous 1,750 horsepower Tuatara hypercar, has just released two new sub-variants. These are called The Tuatara Striker, and the Tuatara Aggressor. And judging by those really aggressive-sounding names, they’re packing something special.
The SSC Tuatara Striker
For the Tuatara Striker, SSC developed it so it could provide more downforce. Three times more to be exact. This of course was achieved by giving it several aerodynamic upgrades like a new active rear wing, a vertical stabilizer, as well as a new augmented rear diffuser. As a result, one can expect the Tuatara Striker to be more balanced and more predictable when taken to its limits on a race track.
The Striker version still uses the same V8 on the standard Tuatara, which is tuned to produce up to 1,750 horsepower. The said engine is then paired to the same automated seven-speed manual gearbox that’s fitted on the regular model.
The track-only, non road-legal SSC Tuatara Aggressor. Note the abundance of carbon fiber
Then there’s the Tuatara Aggressor, which is propelled by SSC’s twin-turbo V8. At most, this engine is tuned to produce an incredible 2,220 horsepower. Unlike the regular and Striker Tuatara models, the Aggressor is a track-only vehicle. To this end, it is fitted with a five-point racing harness, racing seats, and an interior and roll-cage made entirely out of carbon fiber.
SSC didn’t provide that much details regarding the Tuatara Aggressor’s design, but it did say that it will have a lot of carbon fiber bits and will feature the same aero updates as the Striker. Also, it will be highly customizable, which means that an owner might not have much difficulty in fitting in custom parts, upgrades, etc.
Check out the Tuatara and Aggressor's huge carbon fiber wing
Of note, SSC will have a very limited run of the Tuatara and its sub-variants. Only 100 regular Tuataras will be built. In addition, the company will only make 100 Tuatara Strikers, and only 10 Tuatara Aggressors.
If you aren’t aware, the SSC Tuatara claimed to achieve top speed of 532.93 km/h in October 2020, thus gaining the title of the “World’s fastest production car.” However, the company had to do a second run later on as many questioned the validity of the first run. The second attempt didn’t work out so well, as they had achieved an average of 455.2 km/h, which was 53.53 km/h less than the first record.

Britain and Ireland: Union, Conflict, and Independence, 1798-1949 (HIH2024A)
|Staff||Dr Gemma Clark - Convenor|
|Duration of Module||Term 2: 11 weeks;|
The module begins with the 1798 insurrection and subsequent reinforcement of British rule in Ireland through the 1800 Act of Union. It examines nationalist movements – including Fenianism, Home Rule and Irish republicanism – that resisted British control of Ireland, in the more than a century that followed. A key aim of the module is thus to develop knowledge and understanding of Anglo-Irish relations during 1798–1949 and the political, legal and violent processes through which, by the Ireland Act of 1949, the south of Ireland achieved full independence from Britain, whilst the partitioned North remained in the UK. The module also aims to develop understanding of Ireland’s (predominantly rural and Catholic) society and culture during this period and, in doing so, to engage you with important topics such as religion, land rights, gender relations, identity and violence.
Through secondary reading, primary-source analysis and other learning activities, the module will also foster transferable skills in research, analysis, and written and oral communication. The module encourages, further, the development of discipline-specific skills, including sensitivity to historical controversy and awareness of the sectarian and ideological agendas that can beset the study of recent and ongoing conflicts.
ILO: Module-specific skills
- 1. Have a detailed knowledge of the main themes in the subject, together with a very close knowledge of the areas selected for essay and presentation work.
- 2. Trace the changing nature of, and approaches to, Anglo-Irish relations, and Irish politics and society, during 17981949.
ILO: Discipline-specific skills
- 3. Analyse the key developments in Irish nationalism and British governance of Ireland, and Irish society and culture.
- 4. Handle profoundly different approaches to history in a contested area that has strong contemporary resonances and ongoing (and sometimes violent) political/constitutional legacies.
- 5. Understand and deploy complex political and constitutional terminology in a comprehensible manner.
ILO: Personal and key skills
- 6. Independently study and also work within a group, including the presentation of material for group discussion, developed through the mode of learning.
- 7. Digest, select and organise material to produce, to a deadline, a coherent and cogent argument, developed through the mode of assessment.
- 8. Present arguments orally, and to work in a group.
Lecture topics may include:
The Act of Union and resisting the Union: Catholics, Emancipation and Repeal

CHICAGO – Joel Oppenheimer Gallery will present an exhibition titled “Temple of Flora by Dr. Robert John Thornton,” which includes 33 original engravings. The show will run from April 24 to June 30.
Published in London from 1799–1807, Thornton’s magnum opus, Temple of Flora; or Garden of Nature: Picturesque Botanical Plates of the New Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnaeus, is an exquisite homage to Carl Linnaeus’ treatise on the sexual system of plants and considered by many to be the most famous of all florilegia. “As specialists in the antique natural history genre, we are pleased to exhibit such an influential and rare set of works from this fascinating period,” says Joel Oppenheimer.
Educated as a physician and botanist, Thornton devoted much of his adult life to creating his remarkable artistic tribute to the renowned Swedish botanist and taxonomist Carl Linnaeus. Employing the skills of eminent artists and artisans of the time, these engravings incorporate a masterful use of engraving techniques, including line, stipple and mezzotint applications at the pinnacle of the Golden Age of Natural History Art. Each flowering plant is depicted in a dramatic and often surreal setting that glorifies the aesthetic and exotic appeal of the subject while also extolling the imperial prowess of the British Empire at that time. The dramatic backgrounds feature romantic locales in the distant regions of the world to which these plants were native. This exhibit offers a unique opportunity to view this rare work in its entirety for the first time in the United States at the Joel Oppenheimer Gallery in Chicago.
Thornton’s Temple of Flora is perhaps the single most famous of all florilegia of the 19th century. As the driving force and visionary behind the creation of this great work, Thornton employed additional artists and engravers to produce it. Printed in color and finished by hand, a total of 70 plates were intended to be issued. Only 33 separate images of flowering plants were completed before the collapse of the project and Thornton’s financial demise, bankrupted by his fanatical pursuit of artistic perfection.
In 1804, a gallery was opened in London where the original paintings were exhibited, and catalogs of the works were offered in an effort to promote his ambitious publication. Having exhausted his personal financial resources, Thornton contrived an elaborate sales scheme to pay for the work. A license to hold an official lottery was obtained and all the works were sold as prizes.
The creation of Dr. Robert John Thornton’s opus, Temple of Flora, is intricately entwined with the history of botany, 18th century exploration, and the ensuing fascination with newly discovered exotic plant species brought back to Europe. As explorers traveled the globe, interest in collecting new species of plants increased and heightened the excitement surrounding all things botanical. Dr. Thornton came of age during this time of artists and botanists working together under royal patronage to describe, illustrate and celebrate newly discovered botanical wonders. Thornton was challenged to demonstrate Britain’s artistic superiority in this field.
Joel Oppenheimer Gallery is celebrating the 50th year as an art business based in Chicago. Rooted in the art conservation practice which was the inspiration for the founding of the business, the gallery services a nation-wide audience of private clients, museums, art galleries, and framers. Specializing in original natural history art from the 17th through 19th centuries, the gallery maintains an exceptional inventory of rare collectible artworks from that period.

"I'm not happy with them. I cannot say that I have 11 players who appeared together. Two or three of them far from his best performance, "said Mourinho was quoted as saying Talks Sport.
"I blame myself for not replacing it. I let him play a full 90 minutes. When making the turn the third player, I am aware of, I need a fourth turnover, "sesalnya.
Though not willing to divulge who the players who make it inflamed, speculation has it that defender Branislav Ivanovic one of the players is Ready.
"If a player is playing bad, I just stay waiting for him to change, or that I will act," stated Ronaldo.
With the defeat, feast of the-100 to the cage match Jose Mourinho alongside Chelsea should be tercoreng. The defending champion is stranded in the rankings with a value of four temporary Palace in second place with nine points.
However, if De Gea survived along with The Red Devils, Romero admitted to not matter. This ensures the Argentina midfielder is ready to fight for the sake of maintaining the main place at MU.
"I'm always ready to fight for my career. This often happens to me especially before World Cup 2014.0 "said Romero was quoted as saying from the Sunday Mirror.
"I do everything to get to the World Cup in Brazil. Not because of talent. I always train hard while at Monaco and feel disappointed whenever that time coach Claudio Ranieri left me, but this is football, "said Romero.
Since coming to Manchester United, Romero has played five matches Fiends Red squads together. In those five games, Romero appeared charmingly with the conceded only one goal.
"I played a bit last season but thank God and my colleagues in the national team, Argentina's coach Alejandro Sabella and lined my coach has given me a lot of strength and confidence in every game," Romero ended the talks.
Note: I went undefeated in three games was the last Premier League making Manchester United the victory picking when seeded into headquarters for Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, Sunday (30/8/2015).
However, it does not mean the Red Devils without disabilities. Because Wayne Rooney Cs only scored two goals in three matches. Inversely proportional to The Swans that are able to pack the five goals from three matches.
Rooney that this season's task as a single striker failed to show the appearance of the ciamiknya in the three Premier League opening match. Original United Kingdom attackers that scored one goal which earned him a flood of criticism from critics as well as fans.
But Rooney's hat-trick, when the silence Club Bruges 4-0 in the second leg of their Champions League playoff round presents a fresh wind for the public, Old Trafford.Rooney himself acknowledged a third golnya to the representative of Belgium thatvery important admits face Swansea.
"Of course as a striker You want to score a goal. I know the quality I am and what I can bring to the team, "said Rooney after scoring trigol against Brugge.
But what is the meaning of Rooney's hat-trick in the Champions League if unable to diulangnya when against Swansea. Test weight is indeed for Rooney remembers theDefense pretty good Swansea with just one conceded from two games while playing in the Liberty Stadium.
Not just Rooney who will get the test weight on this game, Manager, Louis van Gaal reacted ascertained will be the spotlight. His last chapter on last season, meneer 64this year failed to beat Swansea City in two meetings of the Premier League.
MU twice the yield from Swansea City on last season by a score of 2-1 on a late goal in the first meeting of Ki Sung-yueng and Gylfi Sigurdsson. GOL reply MU printed by Wayne Rooney.

Note that obviously does not want repeated Van Gaal reacted when competes against the foster care Garry Monk. "I don't want to lose again. It's the only club that could not defeat us or at least got one point on last season. I hope we can improve performance and we can show it has been better than last year, "he said.
There is an interesting figure to look out for Van Gaal reacted. He is Ki Sung-yueng.The South Korea midfielder was recorded always managed to score a goal in two meetings against THEE last season. And, in a match later, Monk was able to decrease the Ki have recovered from hamstring injuries.

Hip-hop group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony were one of the biggest melodic rap groups out there. The band rose to fame on the back of their 1993 single, 'Thuggish Ruggish Bone'. Interestingly, they were the only group to collaborate with 2Pac, Big Pun, Notorious B.I.G. and Eazy-E when the artists were all still alive. Catch up with two of the crew, Bizzy Bone and Krayzie Bone, who released a new album together earlier this year.


After Eric Holder became the first U.S. attorney general to be held in contempt by the House of Representatives last summer, he was asked whether he had considered stepping down. He hadn't. “If anything," he told the Post's Sari Horowitz at the time, "it made me more determined to stay and to continue to fight for the things that I think are important."
One has to wonder if the grilling Holder has received this week makes him feel any different. The embattled attorney general—under fire for his department's highly controversial move to secretly obtain phone records of AP reporters and editors as part of a leak investigation—was at times combative, testy and insistent about his lack of knowledge in a House committee testimony Wednesday. He called Rep. Darrell Issa's questioning and conduct "unacceptable" and "shaming." In an exchange with Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) he said, "you may not like me, but I am the attorney general."
For now, at least. In the aftermath of the AP records and IRS scandals, the real question will not be whether Eric Holder wants to stay in his job, but whether President Obama should keep him there. Already, calls for his resignation are coming from both conservative and liberal voices. RNC Chairman Reince Preibus has demanded that Holder resign. There are also left-leaning columnists like the Daily Beast's Michael Tomasky who are doing the same. Esquire's Charles P. Pierce, a caustic critic of the GOP, perhaps put it most bluntly: "He should be gone. This moment. Not only is this constitutionally abhorrent, it is politically moronic."
The decision will be a difficult one for the president. The two are reportedly friends, as are their wives. Asking for Holder's resignation could make the president look like he is bowing to pressure from the GOP, no matter how many critics on the left the attorney general may now also have. Replacing him would surely lead to its own drawn-out confirmation process. And the president may believe that Holder, having recused himself from the probe, is not technically responsible for what the AP has called "a massive and unprecedented intrusion" into news gathering techniques and what the New Yorker has questioned as a breach of the Justice Department's guidelines.
One thing is certain: The trifecta of scandals—Benghazi, the IRS and the AP records—are a major distraction for the president. If Washington and the public remain consumed with what's been called "scandalmania," the resignation of the IRS's acting commissioner may not be a big enough scalp to pacify the president's critics. Yet ultimately, of course, the president needs to make decisions based on who will allow him to most effectively govern, rather than on political calculations. And if comments Obama made Thursday about his "complete confidence" in his attorney general are any indication, that person would appear to be Holder.

Martensitic transformations are of considerable technological importance, a particularly promising application being the possibility of using martensitic materials, possibly proteins, as tiny machines. For organic crystals, however, a molecular level understanding of such transformations is lacking. We have studied a martensitic-type transformation in crystals of the amino acid DL-norleucine using molecular dynamics simulation. The crystal structures of DL-norleucine comprise stacks of bilayers (formed as a result of strong hydrogen bonding) that translate relative to each other on transformation. The simulations reveal that the transformation occurs by concerted molecular displacements involving entire bilayers rather than on a molecule-by-molecule basis. These observations can be rationalized on the basis that at sufficiently high excess temperatures, the free energy barriers to concerted molecular displacements can be overcome by the available thermal energy. Furthermore, in displacive transformations, the molecular displacements can occur by the propagation of a displacement wave (akin to a kink in a carpet), which requires the molecules to overcome only a local barrier. Concerted molecular displacements are therefore considered to be a significant feature of all displacive transformations. This finding is expected to be of value toward developing strategies for controlling or modulating martensitic-type transformations.

Historian and journalist Paul Lendvai lived through Hungary's Nazi occupation and witnessed the brutal suppression of the 1956 revolution by the Soviet Union. `Now he warns that Orban could be the next Alexander Lukashenko or Vladimir Putin.
Hungarian-born Austrian journalist Paul Lendvai was sat in a television studio in Vienna on June 16, 1989, commentating live on the funeral of Imre Nagy, executed by Hungary’s Soviet-backed government after the failure of the 1956 revolution and buried in an unmarked grave.
Like 180,000 other Hungarians, Lendvai had fled his country for Austria after the failed revolution and was working as a journalist and author in Vienna, writing and giving analysis on the epochal changes taking place in his country as communist regimes collapsed across Europe.
Nagy had been a reformist who, as prime minister, had angered Moscow with democratic reforms and the dissolution of Hungary’s hated secret police. On November 1, 1956, he withdrew Hungary from the Warsaw Pact. Three days later, Soviet tanks moved into Budapest and crushed the revolution on the orders of Soviet leader Nikita Krushchev.
As many as 200,000 Hungarians attended the reinterment in Budapest, listening to speeches from anti-Communist activists in Heroes’ Square. As Lendvai watched on television, an unknown 26-year-old anti-Communist activist took to the stage and gave a six-and-a-half-minute speech, calling for Soviet troops to leave Hungary, national independence and freedom.
His name was Viktor Orban.
'A courageous move'
Reflecting 32 years later and with the benefit of hindsight, Lendvai dismisses the idea that he had any inkling of who Orban would become.
“I mean, it was just a young man’s speech. One shouldn’t exaggerate and dramatise it,” he told Euronews. “[But] it was a courageous move, and clever.”
Orban’s trajectory from liberal anti-Communist to nationalist ideologue, Vladimir Putin-ally and, his critics allege, autocrat has been a calculated one, as Lendvai documents in his 2017 book Orban: Europe’s New Strongman.
Orban’s Fidesz party started life on the pro-European centre-right, veering towards right-wing populism as that was where its leader saw the best prospect of success.
Fidesz has dominated Hungarian politics since 2010, securing huge parliamentary majorities in both 2014 and 2018 that have allowed Orban to institute constitutional reforms and massively enhance his personal power. Meanwhile, Fidesz’s 12 MEPs and Orban’s unabashed Euroscepticism have been a constant thorn in the side of the European parliament.
On 3 March 2021, Orban withdrew from the European People's Party (EPP) in protest against changes to internal rules that would have enabled MEPs to further sanctions against Fidesz for the erosion of democracy under his leadership in Hungary. Fidesz’s unpopularity even amongst Europe’s centre-right was demonstrated by the 82% of EPP MEPs that voted for the new rules.
Lendvai is buoyed by the consensus against Orban within the EPP, but fears that Fidesz will quickly replace the moderate EPP with a closer alliance with the European Parliament’s extreme right. On March 4, Jörg Meuthen, the head of the far-right Alliance for Deutschland (AfD) said Fidesz would be welcome to join its Identity and Democracy (ID) faction in Brussels.
“It is of course, too late. It would have been better if the conservatives had done it earlier. But it is better late than never,” he said.
As for Orban’s decision to withdraw from the EPP before the rules were changed and the bloc moved to further sanction Fidesz, Lendvai says that it in keeping with the Hungarian prime minister’s strategy from the earliest days of his political life.
“He is a fighter. He attacks rather than defends,” he said.
Born in 1929, Lendvai survived the Second World War, when 600,000 Hungarian Jews were deported and murdered under the Nazi-allied regime of Miklos Horthy. He experienced first-hand this country's slide into Soviet dictatorship after its liberation by the Red Army in 1945.
In Lendvai's lifetime, Hungary has been ruled by many autocrats: from Horthy to Communist leaders Mátyás Rákosi and János Kádár. The country transitioned from Soviet rule to democracy between 1989 and 1991, and just seven years later Orban was first elected prime minister.
In and out of power
He lost power in 2002 to a liberal coalition but his time in opposition only strengthened his hand. Battered by the financial crisis and shocked by the spectacular collapse of Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány in 2009, Hungarian voters brought Orban and Fidesz back to power in 2010 and in 2014 and 2018 gave them a two-thirds super-majority in parliament.
That majority has made Fidesz the undisputed masters of Hungarian politics, with Orban, who is 57, openly admitting that he could remain in power for 15 years or more. Hungary’s opposition was buoyed in 2019 when an opposition candidate, Gergely Karacsony, defeated Fidesz's candidate for mayor of Budapest, but such defeats are few and far between.
Hungary’s next election is in 2022 and despite the recent announcement from six opposition parties that they will unite to try and defeat Fidesz and Orban, Lendvai is sceptical that the Hungarian opposition can maintain their good relations. Meanwhile, if the European Union imposes sanctions on Budapest they are unlikely to have an effect before the elections.
And even if the majority of European Union countries opted to impose sanctions on Hungary over Orban’s anti-democratic reforms, it would have to be passed by a unanimous vote of all EU states. Poland, under the right-wing Law and Justice Party, would almost certainly vote against it.
“It will be a test, the elections of 2022, but the prospects are not so good [...]. I won’t exclude anything, but you have to take into account that this is a man who is 58 years old, compared to Biden and these people, he could stay in power for another 20 years,” he said.
Lendvai’s latest book, The Hungarians: A Thousand Years of Victory in Defeat, was originally written in the 1990s and documented Hungarian history from the medieval era through to the end of Communism. It told of Hungary’s survival as a nation-state despite cultural and linguistic isolation and centuries of occupation by the Ottomans, Hapsburgs, Nazis and the Soviet Union.
The book was republished in 2021 with two chapters that covered the last thirty years and the descent from fledgeling democratic state into ‘Fuhrerdemocracy’ under Orban. The title of the book, with its reference to victory in defeat, struck an optimistic chord when it was first published. It is not an optimism that Lendvai feels two decades later.
“It is a bleak period. Probably the country and the nation will survive, but I don’t know how and what the price will be," he said.
While Orban often shocks Europe with his pronouncements about illiberal democracy, endorsement of dictators and autocrats, or his brazen moves against democratic norms in Hungary, Lendvai warns that the worst may yet be to come. It is when Orban fears that he and his supporters could lose power that he will hit back hardest.
“Until now it was a regime with gloves. When it is about his personal survival, his friends and his cronies [...] he may take off the gloves. In the same way as Lukashenko or Putin,” Lendvai said.
For the time being, Fidesz’s near-total domination of the Hungarian media means that there is little to challenge Orban’s narrative. Lendvai references Polish poet Adam Wazyk, who wrote of life in Stalinist Poland in his 1955 ‘Poem for Adults’: “They drink sea-water crying: lemonade! Returning home secretly to vomit.”
“This is the situation. It is based on a lie,” he said, “it is a very bad period, a sombre, gloomy period in Hungarian history.”
The Hungarians: A Thousand Years of Victory in Defeat is out now, published by Hurst.
Orban's office responds
In a statement to Euronews, a spokesperson for Orban said: "Among Prime Minister Orban’s detractors, there is a special group on the extreme end of the spectrum that harbour an irrational fear and contempt. Paul Lendvai and many of his comrades often see it as a competition. What we see is pure Orbanophobia and a race to the bottom."
"Mr Lendvai has become notorious for his polemics against Orban, struggling to ground his sensational claims in facts and deliberately omitting important details."

The first day or two after a new strength-training class or routine can be rough. Not only are you physically tired from exercising, but you're also feeling so sore that it's difficult to even lift your arms or bend down to tie your shoes. This pain you're feeling is known as delayed onset muscle soreness, often referred to as DOMS, and it usually appears 24 to 48 hours after your weight-training session. Ease your muscle soreness after lifting weights with tried-and-true techniques such as foam rolling, light movement and heat therapy.

Video of the Day
What Is DOMS?
A little bit of soreness or even mild pain during and after a bodybuilding session isn't a bad thing; it just shows that you worked hard while lifting those weights. However, when you quickly increase the intensity or the amount of weight you're lifting, your muscles react accordingly — and that reaction might be painful.
Researchers aren't 100 percent sure what causes DOMS, but the pain can likely be attributed to small tears in the connective tissue around the muscles. As your muscles repair themselves, they get stronger — and that means you're less likely to experience the same amount of soreness the next time you lift weights at that intensity level.
The pain from DOMS usually peaks around 48 hours after heavy exercise and gradually fades around 72 hours after the workout. Delayed onset muscle soreness differs from acute muscle soreness, which is what you feel during and immediately after weight training.
Keep in mind, especially if you're new to weight training, that there's a difference between acute or delayed onset muscle soreness and other types of pain that could indicate something is seriously wrong. If you feel a sharp pain — as opposed to mild soreness — that prevents you from moving a body part, you should visit a doctor. You might have done more damage than you previously realized.
Additionally, pain in an area that's swelling or bruising or that doesn't get better after several days merits a visit to a health care professional. A severe case of DOMS could indicate rhabdomyolysis, a rare but serious condition that's caused by injury to your skeletal muscles. When rhabdomyolysis occurs, potentially toxic compounds are released into the bloodstream, which can lead to dangerous complications such as kidney failure.
Massage and Foam Rolling
If you can swing the cost of a professional massage or have a willing partner who will knead a sore area, massage therapy can certainly help decrease the pain brought on by DOMS. A 2017 review of studies published in Fronts in Physiology determined that massage therapy after intense exercise does wonders for getting rid of DOMS pain, as well as improving muscle performance in the future.
If an actual massage isn't in the cards, the second-best scenario is self-myofascial release, which is the fancy term for giving yourself a massage. This is most easily done by foam rolling. Use the foam roller by positioning the targeted area over the roller and slowly but firmly pressing your body down, pushing on the sore spot for between 30 and 90 seconds. Release the pressure and repeat if necessary. You can also target the sore muscles, such as your calves, by rolling your body over the roller.
A study published in the Journal of Athletic Training in 2015 found that foam rolling for about 20 minutes immediately after exercise, as well as every 24 hours afterward, effectively reduces the symptoms of DOMS.
The stiff foam allows you to put a good amount of direct pressure on sore areas, which helps break down the tightness that can be causing some of the pain. If you have pain in a muscle that's hard to get to with the long, cylindrical shape of a foam roller, use a tennis or lacrosse ball in the same manner to pinpoint the sore muscle.

In addition to foam rolling, vibration can soothe sore muscles caused by heaving weightlifting. Apply a handheld vibration device directly on the sore muscle to increase bloodflow to the area, improve circulation and help the muscle repair itself more quickly.
A study published in 2018 in the Journal of International Medical Research that included more than 250 participants concluded that vibration is a useful form of physiotherapy to reduce the effects of DOMS, though the study authors noted that the effects need more research before it can be definitively stated that vibration wards off muscle soreness.
Food and Beverages
In case you need any more proof that food is integral to athletic performance, consider its effect on DOMS, advises 2014 research published in the Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation:
- Caffeine: The caffeine found in coffee, tea, some colas and chocolate, among other foods and beverages, blocks the adenosine receptor, which can deactivate the central nervous system and can decrease the effects of DOMS.
- Omega-3 fatty acids: The omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish, walnuts and chia seeds might decrease exercise-induced inflammation, which could reduce overall DOMS symptoms.
- Taurine: A number of animal products, such as meat, fish and dairy, contain taurine, and this organic acid that's found in skeletal muscle could have an effect on pain relief when it comes to sore muscles from DOMS, though it's not fully understood how the compound works to lessen the pain.
- Polyphenols: A component of plant-based phytochemicals, polyphenols — specifically, in cherry juice — could reduce inflammation that is related to DOMS pain. Beet juice also contains polyphenols.
Old-fashioned water can help decrease the severity of DOMS too, so drink up to make sure you stay hydrated during and after a heavy workout.
When your body aches from bodybuilding muscle pain, it's tempting to take the day off to recover. Rest days are an important part of a weightlifting routine, allowing those muscles to repair themselves and grow even stronger.
However, a little bit of light exercise, such as taking a walk or hopping on the recumbent bike or elliptical machine, can help decrease the pain from DOMS. If you're really sore, try a swimming workout — the buoyancy of the water might feel soothing on those aching muscles.
The American Council on Exercise says it's safe to exercise when you're experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness, as long as you're not at risk of overtraining or putting undue stress on ligaments or tendons.
Heat and Ice
Both heat and ice therapy have their purposes when it comes soothing muscle pain. Heat increases blood flow to the area, which can decrease pain, while ice reduces swelling and inflammation.
If you're only going to do one, stick to applying heat for about 20 minutes every hour to decrease joint stiffness, reduce tension in the muscles and help heal soft tissue by improving blood circulation in the area. Research published in 2017 in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine determined that applying heat immediately after heavy exercise is effective at reducing soreness, as is applying it 24 hours later, though to a lesser extent.
To apply heat safely, wrap up a heating pad in a towel and apply it directly to the sore area. Make sure not to burn your skin when trying to reduce the pain of DOMS.
Additionally, you can alternate heat and ice after a heavy workout, in an effort to rapidly narrow and widen blood vessels. This technique isn't meant to reduce pain necessarily, but rather reduce swelling and get your muscles back into shape if you need to use them for another workout the next day.
What Not to Do
The fitness industry is rife with myths and legends, including those surrounding how to relieve sore muscles. For example, scientists used to think sore muscles were caused by lactic acid buildup in the muscles, though that's now been proven to be untrue. More than three-quarters of the lactic acid that builds up in your muscles during exercise dissipates within a couple of minutes of ending your workout, according to the ACE Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Institute.
Although the placebo effect is real, meaning that if you think a pain relief method is working, you're likely to feel that relief, there are some long-touted relief methods that aren't likely to actually alleviate much of your soreness.
- Reconsider taking an NSAID: With any type of body ache, it's tempting to reach for the painkillers. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, stop the body from creating prostaglandins, which decreases pain and inflammation. However, research hasn't supported the use of NSAIDs in reducing muscle soreness. In fact, a study published in 2012 in Sports Medicine indicated that longer-term NSAID use could be detrimental to muscle growth.
- Hold off on the Epsom salts: You can add Epsom salts to your hot bath water because they feel nice, but don't expect to get any sort of relief out of it. Transdermal magnesium, which is the scientific term for Epsom salts, doesn't have much research backing up its use in the tub.
- Perform dynamic stretches: Dynamic stretches mimic functional movements and can improve mobility and range of motion, but static stretches — the kind where you reach and hold — won't have much of a long-term impact on DOMS.
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To avoid the pain of DOMS, be consistent in your weightlifting routine — weekend warriors are the ones most likely to experience DOMS because their muscles aren't adapting to the stress of weightlifting or other exercises.
When you feel yourself getting stronger, increase your weight size gradually; too big a jump is a sure way to feel the ache a day or two later. Other tried-and-true ways to prevent DOMS, rather than treat the pain after the workout, include:
- Finish with a cool down: A cool down brings your heart rate back to its normal level and helps regulate your blood flow, helping to alleviate later muscle soreness.
- Wear compression garments after you lift weights: Research published in 2014 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine determined that wearing compression garments after a workout could help reduce muscle damage and, therefore, the pain of DOMS. A meta-analysis of studies published in 2016 in Physiological Behavior on this same topic confirmed this conclusion.
- Continue to work out: Once your muscles have repaired the tears that caused DOMS, they will be bigger and stronger. Next time you lift weights at the same level, you won't feel quite so sore. If you take a break from lifting, however, and then go back to it, you might feel those sore muscles after a heavy lifting session once again.

Barcelona remain hopeful of re-signing Neymar from PSG this summer, according to Goal.
The Catalan club are preparing to open discussions with the Ligue 1 champions as they look to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou.
PSG have stuck resolutely to their £200m asking price for the most expensive player of all time, who moved to the French capital for the same amount two years ago.
However, Barcelona believe PSG could budge on their valuation as the start of the season grows ever closer.
The Blaugrana are ready to make an official offer this week, with Neymar keen for a deal to go through.
However, it remains to be seen whether PSG will sanction the Brazilian's departure unless their asking price is met.

Watching late leads slip away is becoming a familiar trend for the Atlanta Dream. They turned the trick again on Saturday in a 95-87 loss to the Phoenix Mercury to extend their losing streak to six straight.
Atlanta held a nine-point lead early in the fourth quarter but were outscored 23-6 over the final seven minutes of the game. The Mercury outscored the Dream 30-17 in the fourth with Atlanta shooting just 33 percent in the quarter.
"What you have to do is stay positive,” Dream head coach Michael Cooper said following the game. “I think now is not the time to get negative because, again, we are still in the playoff hunt. We have to a little more detailed about our offense, more disciplined about our defense, and all of us have to do the little things that are required for us to find success: boxing out and getting to the line. We won’t go all the way back to the drawing board, but we’ll look at some tape, make our adjustments here and there…I’m not going to be as bold as Pat Riley but I think we’re going to win this next game."
Cooper is taking the positive approach with his team and that is probably a good idea but the Dream have to be concerned. Their 6-1 start to the season is firmly in the rearview mirror and they are not getting any better at managing fourth quarter leads.
Atlanta is now 8-9 overall and has dropped to third in the Eastern Conference. With the WNBA’s new playoff format which seeds the top teams regardless of conference affiliation they are fifth and fading fast with a number of teams closing in.
Tiffany Hayes led the way for Atlanta with 26 points while Angel McCoughtry added 22. The duo combined for 15 of the Dream’s 17 points in the fourth quarter. Elizabeth Williams had another nice game statistically with 13 points and nine rebounds.
Brittney Griner did most of the heavy lifting for the Mercury becoming just the sixth player in league history to record a triple-double with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocked shots. Candice Dupree added 19 points while Diana Taurasi chipped in 17 points and a game-high eight assists.
The Dream will try to pick up the pieces again on Tuesday when they host the Seattle Storm at Philips Arena. Atlanta dropped an 84-81 decision in Seattle during last week’s road trip.

2020 ties with 2016 to be ‘warmest year on record’ globally, Carbon dioxide emissions on rise globally
Express News Service
NEW DELHI: According to the lastest data released by the Copernicus Climate Change Service the year 2020 was on par with the warmest year ever recorded, globally, marking the end of the warmest decade on record. The data also showed that Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels continues to rise around the world.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) of European Union (EU) reveals that globally 2020 was tied with the previous warmest year 2016, making it the sixth in a series of exceptionally warm years starting in 2015, and 2011-2020 the warmest decade recorded.
Meanwhile, Europe saw its warmest year on record, 0.4 degree Celsius warmer than 2019, which was previously the hottest year.

Together with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), C3S also reports that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have continued to rise at a rate of approximately 2.3 ppm/year in 2020 reaching a maximum of 413 ppm during May 2020.
Both C3S and CAMS are implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) on behalf of the European Commission with funding by the European Union.
C3S’s dataset for surface air temperatures shows that 2020, globally, was on a par with the 2016 record as 2020 was 0.6 degree warmer than the standard 1981-2010 reference period and around 1.25 degree C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, making the last six years the warmest six on record.
The largest annual temperature deviation from the 1981-2010 average was concentrated over the Arctic and northern Siberia, reaching to over 6 degree C above average.

“Parts of the Arctic and northern Siberia saw some of the largest annual temperature deviations from average in 2020, with a large region seeing deviations of as much as 3 degree C and in some locations even over 6 degree C for the year as a whole. On a monthly basis, the largest positive temperature anomalies for the region repeatedly reached more than 8 degree C,” it said.
Western Siberia experienced an exceptionally warm winter and spring, a pattern also seen over summer and autumn in the Siberian Arctic and over much of the Arctic Ocean.
Furthermore, the wildfire season was unusually active in this region, with fires first detected in May, continuing throughout summer and well into autumn.
“As a result, poleward of the Arctic Circle, fires released a record amount of 244 megatonnes of carbon dioxide in 2020, over a third more than the 2019 record. During the second half of the year, Arctic sea ice was significantly lower than average for the time of the year with July and October seeing the lowest sea ice extent on record for the respective month. In general, the Northern Hemisphere experienced above average temperatures for the year, apart from a region over the central North Atlantic. In contrast, parts of the Southern Hemisphere saw below average temperatures, most notably over the eastern equatorial Pacific, associated with the cooler La Niña conditions developing during the second half of the year. It is notable that 2020 matches the 2016 record despite a cooling La Niña, whereas 2016 was a record year that began with a strong warming El Niño event,” according to the analysis.

Carlo Buontempo, Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), said “2020 stands out for its exceptional warmth in the Arctic and a record number of tropical storms in the North Atlantic. It is no surprise that the last decade was the warmest on record, and is yet another reminder of the urgency of ambitious emissions reductions to prevent adverse climate impacts in the future.”
Director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), Vincent-Henri Peuch, said “While carbon dioxide concentrations have risen slightly less in 2020 than in 2019, this is no cause for complacency. Until the net global emissions reduce to zero, CO2 will continue to accumulate in the atmosphere and drive further climate change.”
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been estimated by the Global Carbon Project that there was a reduction of around 7 per cent of fossil CO2 emissions.
“To what extent this was a factor in the lower total increase is debatable though, as the variations in global growth rate are dominated by natural processes. We must continue efforts to decrease CO2 net emissions to reduce the risk of climate-related change”, Vincent-Henri Peuch adds.
“The extraordinary climate events of 2020 and the data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service show us that we have no time to lose. We must come together as a global community, to ensure a just transition to a net zero future. It will be difficult, but the cost of inaction is too great, which is why the commitments made under our European Green Deal are so very necessary”, highlights Matthias Petschke, Director for Space, European Commission’s Directorate-General for Defence industry and Space.

So you think you know Arjen Lucassen, huh? Towering Dutch prog rock polymath? The man behind the super successful prog rock conceptualists Ayreon? Not to mention his prog metal offshoots Star One and Guilt Machine? Enormous overarching concept albums about space and time, packed to the hilt with special guests that read like a who’s who of modern day progressive rock? Records that take as long to conceive as they do to record? That Arjen Lucassen? Well, think again...
‘Golden Age Of Music’, the latest album to feature Lucassen’s not inconsiderable talents, may also feature stellar musicianship and killer tunes, but there is no storyline that takes place far into the future in the far flung depths of space. Nor do the album’s 11 tracks come courtesy of an unending list of guest artists.
Supersonic Revolution, the band behind ‘Golden Age Of Music’, are simply five men; Arjen on bass, long-standing keyboard player Joost van den Broek, guitarist Timo Somers, drummer Koen Herfst and singer Jaycee Cuijpers. Five men rocking out and having one hell of a time doing it.
“It’s the same word that comes up all the time and that’s fun,” Lucassen exclaims, grinning ear to ear. “Making this album was just fun, and each time one of the guys would send me their recorded parts, I loved it and it was better than I could have imagined myself. It was all so easy.”
The whole project grew from a simple request to provide a track for a cover CD for the German music magazine Eclipsed.
“They asked if I had any cover versions lying around,” he recalls. “I said, ‘No but I’ll happily record one for you.’ So they gave me a list of bands and I saw a ZZ Top song ‘I Heard It On The X’ that I really like. I said I could record it for them, but then they told me it had to be ready in one week...”
Hang on! One week? This is the self-confessed ‘control freak’ Arjen Lucassen we’re talking about here. One week?
“I know,” Lucassen laughs. “I was like ‘Oh my god!’. So I contacted my favourite musicians in Holland via WhatsApp and literally within 30 minutes I had assembled five people. A band basically. I recorded a demo version for them and within a few days I got all their recorded files back from them.”
From there the seed was sown in Lucassen’s mind. ‘I want to form a band. And I want to simply have fun!’.
“I’m a perfectionist as you know, so I’m always sending musicians their parts back and asking them to change stuff,” he acknowledges. “But this was all brilliant. We were having fun, calling and WhatsApping all the time, and within a week we had a complete product. As well as a massive WhatsApp group thread of non-stop jokes and insults! It was so much fun because working on Ayreon or Star One, getting all those musicians together is a real hassle. The last Star One album (2022’s ‘Revel In Time’) had like 20 guest musicians, and it’s hell arranging all that. This time I just wanted to have fun again. And I sure did! “Also I wanted to have an up-beat, positive project. Ayreon can be pretty dark, but if you see interviews with me I am always laughing and having fun. I wanted a band that reflects that, basically five guys having a great time and enjoying themselves.”
ZZ Top’s ‘I Heard It On The X’ may have been the catalyst for Supersonic Revolution, but it was memories of music from the same decade that truly fired Lucassen’s imagination.
“I was like, let’s form a band and let’s write songs in the style of the 70s, and have the lyrics be a celebration of all the memorable things from that time, because those were my formative years,” he enthuses. “But I didn’t want it to sound like the 70s because that’s already been done and I can’t do it any better than ‘Stargazer’ or ‘Kashmir’.”
“The guys are all younger than me – around 30 – so they weren’t even alive yet in the 70s. So it was a great way for me to make 70s music with lots of Hammond and blistering guitars, but to update it to this time.”
The end result is 11 tracks of high energy, progressively inclined heavy rock that swings with the kind of groove Deep Purple rocked with in the early to mid 1970s. “This album is not a typical prog album. It’s not Yes or Genesis. But it’s not a metal album either. There’s a track called ‘Burn it Down’,” Lucassen notes, “it’s totally based on ‘Smoke On The Water’ but written from the perspective of the ‘stupid with a flare gun’ mentioned in the original lyrics.
“I’m not a great live player but I do know how to make stuff sound good, and the only way to make it sound good is to use the real stuff. Use a real Hammond. A real guitar and bass, a real amp, real speakers, no drum samples, etc...”
With Supersonic Revolution’s ‘Golden Age Of Music’ Arjen Lucassen has added another feather of excellence on to a very well stocked hat. And this time with a huge smile on his and everyone else’s faces.
“I love challenges,” he beams. “I need challenges and that’s also why I don’t do just Ayreon. I know people are going to like the next Ayreon, people have so much confidence in it. But it’s a challenge to do a new thing. Can I win them over with something different again? That’s really why I do all these side projects, to keep it interesting for me and for the fans.”
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the real Arjen Lucassen. Job done. Having fun.

ISLAMABAD – The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has started accepting nomination papers for the general elections 2018 from today after the Supreme Court dismissed the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) ruling for amendments to the document.
The election commission will continue to receive the nomination papers till June 8 and the initial list of candidates will be released on the same day, while dates for other developments regarding elections will remain unchanged.
According to a communique issued by ECP, the papers will be available both in Urdu and English language and the security fee for national Assembly is Rs 30,000 while it is Rs 20,000 for provincial assembly seat.
‘The security fee will be seized provided candidates fail to secure 1/4th of total votes’ said the election regulator.
On Friday, the Lahore High Court had ruled that the nomination forms of the electoral candidates did not seek necessary information and declarations such as details on educational background, criminal record, and dual citizenship. The court ordered ECP to incorporate the requirements of Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution to the nomination papers.
However, the Supreme Court, on Sunday suspended the LHC’s verdict that nullified nomination forms of electoral candidates for the upcoming general elections.
Speaker of National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and ECP had filed petitions earlier in the day, challenging the LHC’s ruling.
During the court proceedings on Sunday, the petitioners’ counsel had stated that LHC’s decision on nomination forms would delay elections, adding that they took the matter to apex court as they did not want elections to be postponed.
The counsel added that the elections are feared to be delayed as the filing of nomination papers has been put on hold following the verdict by the Lahore High Court’s single bench Justice Ayesha Malik.
Earlier, the nomination papers were to be filed between June 2 and 6, however, the petition filed by journalist Habib Karam through legal expert Saad Rasool in the Lahore High Court, delayed the process.

Leave it to a woke Santa to ruin Christmas for a normal kids, as such is exactly what happened when a young boy asked Santa for a Nerf gun and Santa’s refusal sent him into a tearful tailspin.
Watch that here:
WATCH: Liberal Santa scolds child into tears because he asked for a nerf gun for a Christmas pic.twitter.com/XadzsDppOH
— Clayton Keirns (@CKeirns) December 19, 2022
The incident, captured on video and posted to Facebook by the boy’s mom, apparently took place in Chicago in December of 2020. It was then that a four-year-old boy named Michael asked the local mall Santa for a Nerf gun for Christmas and Santa responded by saying “no guns.” The boy then broke down and started crying.
As you can hear in the video, Michael told Santa that he wanted a Nerf gun. Santa responded by saying “No, no guns.” Michael’s mother, thinking that Santa might not have correctly heard her son, said “Nerf gun”, as a clarification. But that didn’t matter. The Bad Santa was apparently an anti-gun radical, as he maintained the ridiculous anti-toy gun stance even when it made the boy cry, saying “No, not even a Nerf gun.”
Gun grabber Santa then added “if your dad wants to get it for you, that’s fine, but I can’t bring it to you.” Michael’s mother was shocked and saddened by the incident, saying “I had to fight back tears right along with him.”
While that Santa kept up the Gabby Giffords routine without backing down, the mall and another Santa were more reasonable and understanding. After the incident went viral and the mall where Santa made Michael cry found out about what happened, the mall sent another Santa to Michael’s home to bring him the Nerf gun he had asked for.
ABC 13, reporting on what happened after the mall made amends by sending the second Santa to young Michael’s home, said:
DeCarlo edited her original Facebook post to say that the mall had responded quickly with “kindness and understanding.”
“We thought it was very kind and we’re grateful for their quick response to restore my son’s faith in Santa,” DeCarlo said.
People who commented on the YouTube video of the incident posted by SkyNews Australia were furious about the incident, saying things like:
“What’s so sad is that the boy already looked extremely shy, he was socially nervous but even so he still gathered himself and got the courage to speak up about what he wanted only to be met with rejection and retribution. Poor boy, he was crushed. It was just a nerf gun. Kudos to the mom for comforting him and telling him he would still get it!”
“As a father and a law-abiding gun owner, this broke my heart. I never want to see a kid cry.”
“This appalling behavior absolutely should have immediately gotten him fired.”
“I can only imagine how it feels to be four years old getting publicly chastised by Santa, essentially being told that I’m a bad person.
The story has a good ending in case some of you didn’t hear: A different Santa came to the boys house and gave him an enourmous nerf gun and an apology for what happened.”
