Snapchat is a mobile app that allows users to send and receive "self-destructing" photos and videos. Photos and videos taken with the app are called Snaps.
Snapchat uses the device's camera to capture Snaps and Wi-fi technology to send them. The app allows the sender to draw or insert text on the Snap and determine how many seconds (1-10) the recipient can view it before the file disappears from the recipient's device. Messages can only be viewed once — and during the viewing period, the recipient must maintain contact with the device's touchscreen or the Snap disappears.
Snapchat is also a fun messaging app. You can take a photo or a video with it, then add a caption or doodle or lens graphic over top, and send it to a friend. Alternatively, you can add it to your "story", a 24-hour collection of your photos and videos, which you broadcast to the world or just your followers.
Those things are part of the various features within Snapchat. At its core, Snapchat is used to send photos and videos – called snaps – to friends. Your friends can view snaps for up to 10 seconds, and then they disappear. While that's all fine and dandy, many people are still left stumped by Snapchat.
They can't seem to understand why someone would actually want to send brief pictures or videos to friends, especially if they can't be saved. Well, they can be "saved", because Snapchat has more to offer than what meets the eye. Life's more fun when you live in the moment 🙂 Happy Snapping!
Please note: Snapchatters can always capture or save your messages, such as by taking a screenshot or using a camera. Be mindful of what you Snap.
What is Snapchat?
Snapchat is a photo- and video-messaging app. It launched in 2011.
Snapchat is unique in that all photos and videos only last a brief amount of time before they disappear forever, making the app ephemeral in nature, though you can take a screenshot of snaps to save them in picture form. As of May 2014, the app's users were sending 700 million snaps a day.
Due to the instant popularity of Snapchat, Facebook reportedly offered to acquire Snapchat for $3 billion. One of the app's cofounders declined the cash offer however. Facebook later launched a similar app (Slingshot), which failed.
Who uses Snapchat?
Everyone uses Snapchat. But it is directed toward teens and adults.
Snapchat is mostly a hit among teenagers, according to several research firms, though it is catching on and embracing new demographics every day. Viners (personalities who use the Vine app), for instance, are known to use Snapchat's story feature as an alternative means of communicating with fans.
Here are some of the common terms and phrases used in the Snapchat world:
- Snapchatters: Snapchat users
- Snaps: Photos or videos taken via Snapchat (you can send a snap to a snapchatter, but it can only be viewed by the recipient for one to 10 seconds before it disappears forever)
- Snapback: A reply to a snap
- Story: A snap you can broadcast to followers (recipients can view it an unlimited amount of times in 24 hours, and you can also post multiple snaps to your story in one day to create a narrative of sorts)
- Scores: The total number of snaps you have sent and received (appears next to your name in friends' contact lists and vice versa)
- Chat: A feature that lets you privately/directly message friends
- Here: A feature that lets you start a live video chat within a direct message

NRES 897: Master of Applied Science Project
Course Overview
What will you produce?
This course serves as a capstone experience for students in the UNL Distance MAS Degree Program in Applied Science for the Science for Educators specialization. The course provides an opportunity for students to apply knowledge they have gained from their course work to create an original body of work focusing on an area of personal or professional interest.
When should I take this course?
This course is designed for students who have completed 24 credit hours in the Applied Science program. The project needs to be completed within 4 semesters (summer sessions count as one semester) of the term in which you enroll in this course.
MAS Degree Project Course Syllabus
Course Instructors
Dave Gosselin, PhD - email@example.com, Office 402-472-8919
Matthew Douglass, PhD- email@example.com Cell: 402-270-7220
Course ObjectivesThe final project for the Master of Applied Science provides a significant opportunity to apply your scientific knowledge and understanding to an area relevant to your interests. The product of this project is an original work that reflects a scholarly understanding of science and learning. Projects can take many forms, but all projects must demonstrate intellectual contributions to the field of science and learning.
After completing the course, you should be able to:
- Demonstrate a command of scientific knowledge and best teaching practices.
- Demonstrate an ability to apply graduate coursework in an area of specific professional or personal interest to the student.
You will also submit a personal rubric establishing the intended goals to be met by your final project. Instructions for the rubric are elaborated below.
About this Course
This course serves as a capstone experience for students in the Master of Applied Science (MAS) program. The intent of the course is to provide students an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills developed through their MAS program in an area of particular applicability to their professional and personal interests. In developing the MAS program, the faculty determined that the degree project is a valuable and essential component of the graduate education experience.
The Final Project is a combination of two courses of study within NRES 897 taken for 4-6 credit hours. The first course (taken for 1-3 credit hours- to be determined by you and your advisor) requires an independent study during which you will devise an original question or issue (topic) that you will address with your Final Project. While taking this course you will complete a literature review pertinent to your approved topic. Guidelines for the literature review are available below. Finally, you will outline and devise a timeline for the completion of your Final Project and related reflection piece which you will undertake during the second course. This will also include the development of a rubric –approved by your advisor –for guiding your project, progress and completion.
During the second course (taken for 3 credit hours), you will complete your Final Project and reflection piece per your approved outline. Upon completion of this work, you will submit to an examination by the Graduate Committee for the MAS- Science for Educators specialization.
This is the final requirement for completion of the MAS program and –upon approval of the Final Project– the Graduate Committee will recommend you to the Graduate Studies office for conferral of the Master of Applied Science degree.
The success of a final project will be determined by its creativity, rigor, synthesis, and application of coursework as laid out in your earlier developed rubric. Failure to meet these standards or to meet deadlines associated with individual aspects of the Master of Applied Science program will result in a No Pass grade.
Course Activities
Completing your MAS project should be a rewarding experience. It is an opportunity for you to showcase your understanding of science and learning in an area that matches your intellectual and professional interests. Pick a topic which you are truly interested in and is an original contribution to the field of science. Below are guidelines developed to assist you in completing this and other tasks related to your Final Project.
The requirements for the course involve multiple steps:
- development and submission of a topic and literature review;
- development and submission of a proposal, including goals, objectives and a rubric;
- submission of progress updates;
- development and submission of a portfolio including a reflection piece.
Typically, a 3 credit hour course can take 150 hours of in-class face-time and study outside of class. The MAS degree project will likely take a similar amount of time to complete.
How do you know if your project has sufficient quality and depth to receive a passing grade? Projects completed with the goal of "being good enough" are rarely good, or enough. Students who complete their projects in accordance with their approved proposal and invest quality time and effort, will likely receive passing grades. It is likely that you will submit multiple drafts before you have completed the project. Students should work towards the goal of completing a project that they are proud to submit.
Creating your proposal
What is a proposal?
The proposal is a 2-3 page document which specifies the details of your MAS project.
Specifically, it includes:
- A statement regarding the goal of the project.
- Background information that explains any previous work and the rationale of the project.
- What you are going to do, how you will do it, and when you will do it (including a proposed timeline of MAS project completion). A list of project outcomes, and how these will be documented in your portfolio.
Proposals are due within the first 5 weeks of the course. They should be created electronically and saved as a Microsoft Word document.
Completed proposals should be sent to:
Matthew Douglass, Program Coordinator/Advisor - firstname.lastname@example.com Cell: 402-270-7220
*Please be sure to enter in the Subject line: Your Full Name, MAS Degree Project Proposal
Proposals will be evaluated by the course instructors. Feedback on proposals will be sent to students via email two weeks after the proposal due date. In some cases revisions to the proposal will be necessary with resubmission for further evaluation.

It is likely that you will submit multiple drafts before you have completed the project. Students should work towards the goal of completing a project that they are proud to submit.
Topic Development
The process of developing your topic is challenging in the pursuit of academic rigor and its unique contribution to the field. Your unique contribution can be regionally or locally unique. Your best bet in identifying a specific question or issue that you will address in your research and portfolio is found in beginning with big picture ideas and working downward to a particular detail. Addressing a single detail within a much larger issue will lead to a higher likelihood of success. The topic chosen should be of interest to you and the result of your work should be applicable to your own teaching.
You will work with your advisor to develop potential project topics during your first term of study in NRES 897. This may take several attempts and should result in a feasible study topic for the time involved. You must then work with your advisor to develop and Final Project proposal.
Proposal: Goals, Objectives and Rubric
Once you have decided upon and received approval for your topic, you will need to do some additional reflection prior to developing your two to three page proposal. With the Master of Applied Science, students are seeking a degree which allows them the freedom and flexibility not only to gain greater content knowledge, but also learn about the ways in which they can directly apply that knowledge within their profession.
In contemplating your proposal, you must consider your end goals upon completion of your degree. You should take the time to draft and edit these goals. Some helpful question to ask yourself may include: Why are you pursuing this degree? What do you hope to gain by completing this degree (in terms of your personal interests, satisfaction or professional needs or interests, etc.)? How do you intend to use your degree and the knowledge gained?
To put this in perspective, there are two common ways students approach the development of their memorandum of coursework (a) to enhance existing knowledge or expertise within a topic or field of study (e.g. Earth Sciences) or (b) to gain new knowledge in topic areas outside of those in which the student already has extensive training and knowledge or expertise (e.g. courses that they must sometimes teach but have had little or no formal education in themselves). The choice you made at that stage of your degree may also, then, affect your decisions related to the development of your Final Project.
Similarly, you need to work with your advisor to create objectives which you intend to achieve during the development of your Final Project. This will then be reflected in your rubric. The rubric must be an explicit guide created by you and approved by your advisor laying out the measures by which to determine whether and to what degree you have met your objectives. The rubric will be an individualized benchmark plan that must be approved by your advisor and included in your Final Project proposal.
Please note that we anticipate some degree of change or adjustment to your objectives, rubric and Final Project plan as you move through your research and project development. This is a normal part of growth and research and you will not be penalized for changes as long as you gain approval for them from your advisor. Once your proposal is approved you must embark on your literature review.
Literature Review
The literature review is an opportunity for you to explore what has been done in your topic area to date and identify where your proposed project fits into that body of work. You will be inquiring about your topic in the broader scientific literature, integrating your topic into that broad stream of literature, and applying what you have learned from your literature review into your final degree project.
Your literature review should be at least five and no more than ten pages in length and should follow the style prescribed by your adviser (e.g. MLA, APA, Chicago, etc). The bulk of your literature review should come from primary sources accessed through the UNL Library system. The resources in the library system are available to distance students. Details can be found at the following website: http://libraries.unl.edu/disted. You are encouraged to seek the assistance of a librarian as you conduct your literature review. The librarians who specialize in particular subject areas are found here: http://libraries.unl.edu/subjspecialists.
Click here for additional important information about the literature review.
Progress Updates
As time goes on, you will be required to submit multiple updates on your progress. The number of and deadlines for updates will be determined by you and your advisor during your proposal submission. These updates ensure you are progressing at a successful rate for the School of Natural Resources. Additionally, they ensure your personal success by holding you accountable and giving you a sense of where you are and what you have left to accomplish.
Portfolio and Reflection Piece
Your Final Project should yield a permanent addition to your professional portfolio as well as the completion of your degree. The Final Project will consist of a curriculum portfolio which will include your literature review, the curriculum-based products you have designed for the project and a final paper to serve as a reflection on the work you have conducted both on the Final Project and throughout your time as a Master's student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
You and your advisor will determine exactly what products you will be producing in relation to the particular goals you have for your degree. The paper will reflect on your journey through the project- the research you conducted, the development of the products and your personal intellectual growth during this process. The reflection should also extend toward your intellectual growth in relation to your coursework: what you learned, observations of changes or expansions of your perspective on science in general or the subject matter, new approaches you have learned or practiced, and other pertinent information. This reflection should also include the importance of two primary concepts that should have been integrated in many if not all of your courses: "Inquiry, Integration and Application" (I2A) as well as "Everything is Connected to Everything Else" (ECEE) within the context of your own work.
The Final Project and paper will vary in length depending upon the components as determined by you and your advisor. General guidelines for the paper include: 12pt font, 1" margins, double spacing, pagination, a cover page, citation of sources (in the style used for your literature review), and a bibliography.
Project Submission
When possible, final projects should be submitted digitally. Instructors will work with you to find an efficient way of transferring products. Use of GoogleDocs or Dropbox are very helpful.
Your work should begin with a summary or overview of the project. Specifically, the summary should include 1) the goal or objectives of the project, 2) project outcomes and scholarly significance of the work.
Submitting Projects
Projects should be submitted to:
Matthew Douglass, Program Coordinator/Advisor - firstname.lastname@example.com Cell: 402-270-7220
School of Natural Resources
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
149a Hardin Hall
3310 Holdrege Street
Lincoln, NE 68583-0921

Yorick Build Guide by Hate Reaper

Yorick Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
It was said that he could jungle from his first Champion Spotlight, but, he was too weak to do so. Now that he's been semi-fixed, jungling is really awesome for him and his beastly shovel.
Summoner Spells
Ghost to catch prey. Smite to .....SMITE!
I just like Ghost for jungling ALOT. It helps you get around the map faster, get into gank-mode better, and escape if need be, and as for Smite?. If you jungle without it, you are FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stress this enough. Smite makes you faster as a jungler, it lets you save lots of time leveling and you get to ganking faster. You shouldn't ever cheat yourself out of this summoner spell.
Flash Would have to be a runner up, its good for escaping and initiating, but since he has no stun, I prefer ghost.
Exhaust Would also be a runner up for 1v1 capabilities, but, he already has enough of those, unless you're against a lanewick or something.
9 Greater Mark of Desolation
9 Greater Seal of Armor
9 Greater Glyph of Attack Speed
3 Greater Quintessence of Desolation
I chose the Armor Penetration Runes and Quints because it scales the best for late-game dps output. The Armor Seals and Attack Speed Glyphs help out his jungle alot.
However Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction might not be a bad Idea.
and if you decide to be the teams initiator, you could run some Greater Quintessence of Health
The 1/8/21 build suits Yorick the best for jungling and quite possibly for laning also.
Spending 8 in the Defense tree to access Strength of Spirit makes Makes all the items you build with mana increase that much better( Manamune, Trinity Force, etc).
Spending 21 in the Utility tree because Utility is a must for Junglers. The increased XP gain, movement speeds, cooldown reduction, improving your golem buffage ...... not to mention the mana improvements it offers, he is still a mana intense champion to play, so I can't stress these talent points enough, especially for jungling.
Notable items to list are Frozen Heart for the armor, mana, and CDR. Force of Nature for the massive Magic Resist and movement speed. Spirit Visage is extremely good for his healing, makes him a little more tanky also. I mean, you can build whatever you want, these are just suggestions. This build is capable of straight damage output with less survivability needed due to its fast jungling. Like any League player, you will be faced with some strange team comps due to the amount of champions in game. Building straight damage may get you some kills(or get you killed), but its usually not the best way to go, ever. I made Boots of Swiftness the boots of choice because some cbamps need a little more speed to catch, otherwise get mercury treads.
Skill Sequence
Omen of War is the best for Level 1, with its low cooldown and high damage output, plus the runspeed is helpful. At level two grab Omen of Famine,it has a lower cooldown than Omen of Pestilence(which you get at level 3 to access his passives full potential)and it helps you stay alive.
Yorick is capable of insane kiting with Omen of Pestilence and Omen of War. Not to mention having ghost too.
Start with Wolves ---> SmiteWraiths ---> Golems. Recall, then head to SmiteBlue Golem, then, you can choose whatever route you wish. Just know, that whenever you organize a gank, make sure to have both blue and red, or at least full mana to reach his full potential early in the gank. Open with his Omen of Pestilence and let the ganking BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best part about Yorick is that he's one of the most creative junglers there is. He can counter-jungle with his ranged ghouls over walls with proper ward placement(if you're into that kinda stuff). Nothing like getting ganked and blue buff stolen by a smelly man with a shovel and some little bastards!!!!!!
If the match permits, and you get some lane time to clear minions, his ghouls make him an extremely good pusher. You can nom down turrets like its made of wood, and you summon little evil beavers to do your bidding(yes I said that). Last hitting isnt too hard either, with Omen of Pestilence initial AOE and continuous auto attack for the remainder of its life.
If I can say one thing about his farming skills, he had better get a pimp skin soon, with his ghouls wearing dresses.
Omen of Death
Best thing to do is to warn the teammate that you will be casting Omen of Death on late-game if a teammate has higher damage output(AD carry preferably)than you. Its of the utmost importance to give a heads up since the champ could die, and they get a 2nd chance of revenge when its used and completely resolved. This ability is still a little bit bugged, so use it carefully.... and try not to double stack Omen of Death on Tryndamerewhile he has his Undying Rage active.......
I'm not going to go into great detail just yet, I just wanna get this posted to let people try the build since its fun and effective. Yorick isn't a champ you can just pickup and play. He requires some micro managing due to all of his minions. I sense more changes on the horizon for Yorick's abilities, considering riot tends to take the nerfbat to all champs as of late...so i'll do my best to keep it as update as possible. I am open for criticism considering this is the internet, and there are many more Yorick players out there. So lets get some votes in and some comments below... GL n HF!!!!!
I also removed points from Expanded Mind, because it was overall useless (7/9/11)

Motorman's Case Reflects City's Horror, Experts Say
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: September 4, 1991
The grand jury indictment of Robert E. Ray on second-degree murder charges was a predictable reflection of the horror across New York City at the conduct of the subway motorman and the deaths and injuries underground, legal experts said yesterday.
Though the police originally charged Mr. Ray with the less-serious crimes of manslaughter, his own descriptions to the authorities of his drinking, nodding off at the controls of the speeding train and quietly drinking beer as the rescue went on around him magnified the case against him, the experts said.
A murder conviction carries a sentence of 15 years to life in prison; a manslaughter conviction brings a sentence of 5 to 15 years. Pressure on Prosecutor
The grand jury yesterday charged Mr. Ray with murder with "depraved indifference" for human life. The difference between depraved-indifference murder and manslaughter is essentially one of magnitude. The grand scale both of the subway accident last week and of Mr. Ray's apparent part in it, criminal lawyers said, increased pressure on the Manhattan District Attorney, Robert M. Morgenthau, to come back from the grand jury with the most serious charges possible.
A trial jury could ultimately clear Mr. Ray of any criminal acts or convict him only of minor infractions. But lawyers said Mr. Morgenthau was well within the bounds of legal precedent in pressing the more expansive case. "To call it anything other than depraved diminishes the act and the lives of the people who were killed," said Robert M. Pitler, a professor of criminal law at Brooklyn Law School who for years was Mr. Morgenthau's top deputy.
Often with the prompting of prosecutors, grand juries scale charges up or down from those originally lodged. In highly publicized cases, grand jury indictments often mirror public sentiment about the message that should be sent by a prosecution. Like Roussian Roulette
The message of yesterday's indictment, legal analysts said, was that New Yorkers are enraged. "Presumably the grand jury believed that when he put the bottle to his lips it was the equivalent of playing Russian roulette, but with the gun pointed at somebody else's head," said Michael S. Ross, a former prosecutor who is now a defense lawyer with the New York law firm of LaRosa, Mitchell & Ross.
Mr. Ray's lawyer has said that any alcohol in his client's blood was the result of drinking after the accident, not before.
To be guilty of manslaughter a person must have recklessly engaged in conduct that creates a "substantial and unjustifiable risk of death." Recklessness under the law is more than carelessness or mere negligence. Drunken drivers in car accidents causing deaths are often charged with manslaughter.
Depraved-indifference murder, lawyers say, involves "recklessness plus." The added element is depravity, extreme and unusual disregard that one's conduct will subject victims to a "grave risk of death."
Under the law, a person who does not intend to kill anyone but acts with such gross disregard for human life can be convicted of murder by "depraved indifference." A person who threw a bomb into a crowded store, killing several people, could be convicted of murder by depraved indifference, even if he intended only to frighten people. An Option for Jurors
Because the murder charge against Mr. Ray involves the allegation that he acted with depravity, or "recklessness plus," legal experts said, a judge would be likely to give a jury the option of convicting him of murder or the lesser manslaughter charge.
Prosecutors said that the grand jury investigation was not complete and that more charges against Mr. Ray were expected.
Some lawyers said it was not only the dimensions of the tragedy but also the proportion of responsibility any motorman has for his passengers that propelled the charges to a higher level. Criminal law is always an effort to set limits on conduct. The law often demands more of those who are responsible not only for themselves but also for others, and still more from those responsible for large numbers of people. Death in Crown Heights
Some New York lawyers said the grand jury decision yesterday in Manhattan seemed to help answer questions surrounding a different, still incomplete grand jury investigation across the river in Brooklyn. In the investigation of the Hasidic man whose car fatally injured a black child in Crown Heights, some critics of the Brooklyn District Attorney, Charles J. Hynes, have predicted that the grand jury will clear the man.
If it does, lawyers said yesterday, that could be because that grand jury applies the same standard applied by the Manhattan grand jury yesterday: the greater the risk, and the greater the responsibility of the person for others around him, the greater the potential criminal charges.
Automobile drivers have some responsibility under the law to those around them. A motorman with power over tons of steel and hundreds of people in his charge, lawyers said, would have more responsibility.
"The trainman who gets into his cab drunk," asserted Judd Burstein, a New York lawyer, "is carrying his victims with him."

Fvm Solution Oscillations
Hi all!
I'm writing a fvm code for incompressible flow following the Blazek's book (like the freeCFD solver):
- stationary flow
- coupled solver
- colocated arrangement
- dummy cells
- gauss gradients for cell centers
- averaged gradient w/ some correction for viscous fluxes
- Piecewise linear velocity reconstruction for left and right state, simply with gradient at center and the distance to the wall (up=grad x r)
I began w/ an upwind which simply averages the left and right state.
I realize that the solucion oscillates in velocities and pressures.
I was wondering if this scheme needs is a correction like the Rhie-Chow for colocated arrangements, or if the left and right scheme w/ the gradients used simply accounts for this correction (According to Blazek's book, the correction scheme used for the gradient walls prevents oscillations).
I was checking out freeCFD code and i did'n find out a correction like this.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks to all!
Sorry my poor english!!

text: Credits: koush, cyanogen, incdoes, unrevoked, mtm, modaco, jdkoreclipse Blackhawk is a project i've been working on for a while. The aim of the project is to provide the users with the best in speed and stability. It is a series of ports from other phones. I have picked my 2 best builds as "official' releases. Vanilla and Sense ROMs Blackhawk Project- Vanilla: This is a port of FRG33 from the nexus. It is not deodexed, but it does provide the best in speed and stability. It is PURE vanilla, and was never a sense ROM. The only bugs are that if has a 3mp camera (but i think it does actually shoot in 8mp) and eMMC doesnt mount. Overall, it is my Daily drover and I hope it is yours too! Also, i am working ont eh camera issue and should have a patch out later (thanks to incdoes and modaco) Blackhawk Project- jdfroyo Evo port v1 This is a pretty much straight forward ROm.

text: On September 21, several technology companies including Yelp, Squarespace, Twitter, and Reddit, filed a Brief with the U.S, Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit supporting the FCC's Open Internet rules. The rules reclassify broadband Internet access service as a telecommunications service and prohibit providers from blocking or throttling lawful content, applications, or services. The companies urged the Court to uphold the Commission's new rules, arguing that permitting broadband providers to prioritize traffic for money and to throttle lawful content would enable ISPs to decide which platforms thrive and which do not. The Court is scheduled to hear oral argument in this case on December 4.

Georgia, a 10-year-old pupil at a London primary, has just abseiled expertly down the side of a 40ft tower and is about to climb a pole from which she will attempt to jump on to a 35ft-high trapeze. What would her mother say if she could see her now? 'She'd say, "Careful! Careful!" Georgia says casually, before starting her climb.
Welcome to the world of the school trip, in which children slip the net of parental anxiety and there's nothing the parents can do about it, except stay home and gnaw their nails.
In Britain every year - almost all through the year - parties of schoolchildren pile aboard coaches with groups of teachers to be taken off for holidays everywhere from the ski slopes of Austria, France or Colorado to adventure-holiday centres in Devon, from rambles in the Isle of Wight to treks through the rainforest of Madagascar. The children and many of the teachers look upon it as the high point of their year, but to parents it can be a nightmare.
For some, it will be the first time their children have ever been away from home on their own. They will spend a week engaged in hazardous activities such as kayaking, climbing, rafting or skiing, under the charge of instructors whom parents will, in most cases, never have met and about whose competence they know nothing. In addition to doing possibly dangerous things, their children will very likely be cold, wet and stuffing themselves with sweets. All things considered, it's a wonder psychiatrists have not identified a new kind of depression - School Trip Syndrome.
Georgia is one of 70 children from Wood End Junior School in Greenford, north London, who are spending a week at a PGL activity centre outside Hindhead in Surrey. PGL - children call it Parents Get Lost - is the largest and one of the longest established of the burgeoning number of private companies which cater for the school-trip industry. As well as operating 15 centres in the UK, PGL has one on the Costa Brava and 10 in France, including two in the Ardèche, where attractions include a three-day descent of the Ardèche river.
The parents of Wood End, which serves a working-class catchment area, have had to fork out £130 each to send their children to what looks like an army camp - a huge flat parade ground surrounded by barrack-like wooden huts and dominated by the 40ft wooden watchtower on which Georgia and her friends are learning to abseil, climb and trapeze. The children's favourite 'fun activity' is an assault course. The best-loved obstacle on the course - dubbed 'The Toilet' by the kids - requires them to crawl on their stomachs commando-style through a dank, mud-filled ditch while being pelted with cold water by an instructor. 'The mud smells worse than 100 acres of dog poo,' says 10-year-old Curtis, gleefully. 'It's wicked!'
The PE teacher, Peter James - a tall, kindly looking man with a moustache - has escorted many such trips and has no doubt of their value to children. 'Team building is the main thing. It raises their self-esteem. They can't get this at home. We were outside the other day, battered by a storm. The kids' hands were freezing. But they all climbed the tower and marched back chanting and singing.'
His helmeted charges certainly look happy as PGL instructors clip them into harnesses and send them over the top of the tower. PGL policy dictates that no children are ever made to do anything against their will - and there is certainly no shortage of volunteers. 'Who wants to go again?' shouts an instructor. There is an immediate sea of waving hands and screams of, 'Me, me, me!'
'I'm a scaredy-cat, but they encourage me to go on lots of things I'd never dared to go on before,' says 10-year-old Mandni. 'All the kids love it. Since I've come to PGL, I've become much braver.'
Schools are unequivocal in their belief that the trips are a vital part of the educational process. They bond children with one another and their teachers, turn selfish individualists into responsible team members and teach self-reliance and adventurousness that can't be learnt in the classroom. Tony Blair has given them his support, saying he would like to see all children having the chance of a residential experience outside school.
Although the trips are not compulsory, schools make it clear to parents that pupils are expected to participate - in some cases implying it may count against the child not to go. The Duke of Edinburgh, president of the Central Council of Physical Recreation, speaks for many in the educational world when he says that to deny children the chance of challenging physical activity would be 'highly damaging'.
Parents are placed in an uncomfortable dilemma. They have no desire to deprive their children of something educationally important - nor to be classified by the school as overprotective, even hysterical, possibly to their child's long-term detriment. They are also usually faced with a barrage of pleas and nagging from a child frantic at the thought of being different and disapproved of by teachers.
Yet parents have reason to feel concerned. It is true that most school trips - there are 7m to 10m days of them a year - pass off perfectly safely. According to Marcus Bailie, head of inspection services for the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (which monitors and licenses activity centres in the UK), a school trip is one of the safest places your child can possibly be. Given the increasing emphasis on sedentary activities like exams and the rise in obesity among our young, he argues, 'Adventure activities are part of the solution, not part of the problem.'
But that is no comfort to the parents of the six children who died on school trips in 2001 alone, the five who died in 2002, the 47 who have died on such trips since 1985. The hard fact is that however generally good the standards of safety and supervision, these children died unnecessarily while doing things they did not have to be doing.
It certainly is no comfort to Sharon Carter, whose 13-year-old daughter Gemma, a pupil at Cockburn High School in Leeds, drowned while paddling on a treacherous stretch of beach off Le Touquet, France, on 8 June 1999. The teacher who organised the trip, Mark Duckworth, was given a six-month suspended sentence for involuntary homicide by a French court, but acquitted on appeal on the grounds that Gemma died of hypothermia and her teacher was not at fault. At the inquest last month, the jury found that Gemma's death was caused by 'misadventure'.
Sharon Carter, a single mother, had to save hard to send Gemma on the trip. Gemma was not as gung ho as many children are about the activities on offer because she was nervous about anything to do with swimming. Her mother wrote to the school informing them that Gemma could not swim and asked them to make sure she stayed in the shallow end if they went swimming in a pool. The school says it never received the letter and, in the event, Gemma was one of a group of children taken down to play on the beach at dusk during a period of 'supervised free time'.
The girls were in water up to their knees, jumping waves. But the seabed suddenly dropped away and Gemma found herself unable to touch the bottom. One of her friends saw she was in difficulties and tried to alert the teacher. But since no one had done a head count of how many children they were taking to the beach, an accurate count could not be done until they were back at the hotel.
'Gemma had said she'd ring me that evening, but I didn't really worry because I knew she'd have to wait for her turn to make a phone call,' Sharon says. 'Then I was woken at 1am by the headteacher and the police at the door.'
Sharon had been dreading the inquest bringing in a verdict of 'accidental death', and she's relieved that at last the inquest has reached a conclusion.
For parents Kim and Patrick Cauvet the inquest into their daughter's death was harder to bear. Fourteen-year-old Rochelle was one of two girls from another Leeds school who were swept to their deaths while 'river walking' with a school party in appalling conditions at Stainforth Beck, near Settle, in October 2000. The Cauvets were shocked when the coroner at the inquest directed the jury to return verdicts of accidental death. In February, Leeds City Council was fined £30,000 at Leeds Crown Court and ordered to pay £50,000 costs after pleading guilty to a count of breaching health and safety regulations. The Cauvets, who now live in France, are hoping to take the inquest case to the European Court of Human Rights on the grounds that Rochelle's right to life was violated.
'There's been no apology from anyone,' Kim Cauvet says. 'When we went to school beforehand for an open meeting about the trip, they showed us pictures of children walking over dry rocks. In fact, the Beck was in full flood. My daughter refused to go in the water. She told the teacher she was scared and the teacher said, "You'll be OK." And that was it.'
Sharon Carter believes the greatest threat to safety is the complacent belief of schools and teachers that, 'It's all going to go fine because it always has done. The trip my daughter died on had been running for seven years. But it's impossible for teachers to look after our children the way we do. My advice to other parents is to be a nuisance and ask as many questions as you can before they go.'
The emotional burden is one thing, the financial one can be quite another. While many of the trips are to inexpensive domestic locations, an increasing number are to destinations many families would consider far beyond their pocket for normal holidays. School noticeboards are full of seductive snapshots of smiling children on past trips to New York or Sicily, even Barbados or Australia. One London girls' school proposed taking a class on a trip down the Nile until so many parents objected it had to drop the idea. Another advertised a trip to an Indonesian island which is now seen as a hotbed of Islamist unrest. The cost was £2,000, and the children were told they had to raise the money by doing odd jobs like washing cars.
One father was outraged when a teacher asked his son to join a rugby trip to the Cape. The first he knew of it was when the excited child rang home to say he'd been asked to go. As a middle manager with a baby and another child at school, he did not have £500 to spare on an extra holiday for his son. 'It put us in a terrible position because he was desperate to go,' he says. 'So I just had to find the money. And it cost much more, because we were also presented with a long list of clothes and equipment, and we had to give him spending money.'
Some families have to save to send their child on a holiday they could not possibly afford for themselves. Diana is a divorcee who receives no financial help from her ex-husband, so raising the £750 she needs to send her 13-year-old daughter on the school's skiing trip to Colorado this summer meant having no holiday at all last year. 'I've had a year to save up for it, so it has not been too bad,' she says. 'I didn't feel I had much alternative, really. All my daughter's friends are going.'
Susan Smith had doubts about sending her 12-year-old son, Max, on a trip to Austria with his school last February. He had only just learnt to ski that Christmas, but she had no real choice in the matter. Even though the trip had to be paid for - to the tune of almost £600 - the school said it was considered part of the curriculum and every child was expected to go.
Then, one night at 7pm, the phone rang. It was the teacher in charge of the trip who told her that Max had fallen off a ski lift and they were at the hospital. 'By this time, Max had had a local anaesthetic and stitches on his face,' Susan says. 'He'd been operated on before I was told anything about it. He was staying in overnight and the school promised he would ring me the next day. When I rang the hospital he had already left and, I discovered later, was back on the slopes within 48 hours. That was the last I heard from them until I went to collect him.'
When she saw her son, Susan was horrified. 'He had a big, red livid scar which was a quarter of an inch from his eye. I asked how it happened and it transpired, first, that there had been no adult with that particular group of boys and, secondly, he had been knocked unconscious by the fall. To this day we still don't really know what occurred. We think, though, that another boy skied over his head. It was just a miracle he wasn't blinded in that eye.'
Skiing is one of the activities considered hazardous enough by the government to need a licence from the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA) - but only if it is offered by an activity centre in Britain. The AALA has no jurisdiction abroad. Although Max will carry his scar for the rest of his life, it could have been worse. On New Year's Day 2000, at the Heavenly Valley ski resort in Nevada, Rachel Williams, a 15-year-old pupil from the Hayle Community School in Cornwall, was killed when she lost control and careered off the marked slope into a tree. She was not wearing a helmet despite the resort's recommendation that skiers should do so. Cher's ex-husband, Sonny Bono, had died a year earlier on the same slopes in similar circumstances.
Rachel's teacher, who was operating within Cornwall Education Authority guidelines, was found by an inquest not to be responsible for her death. But the accident did highlight concerns about the way school skiing trips are run. In particular, ski experts are unhappy about a system which allows teachers without appropriate qualifications to take children on the slopes. Almost exactly one year after Rachel was killed, a 15-year-old from a high school in Wimbledon died after being thrown from a toboggan in the Austrian Alps.
The initial call from Max's teacher was the only communication Susan Smith ever received from the school about his accident. The experience has left her feeling bitter about the school - which her son has now left - and dubious about school ski trips in general. 'The problem on school trips lies in the fact that there are never enough instructors for the number of children involved. There's a lot of pressure on parents from the school system, whether state or private, to let their children go on these trips. But sometimes I think that they're just an opportunity for the teachers to have a holiday.'
The orthodoxy that school trips do nothing but good is not as unquestionable as it seems. Indeed, the industry that has grown up around them has become one of the fiercer battlefields in modern education. The campaign for regulation of outdoor activity centres, especially those catering for schoolchildren, kicked off as long ago as 1993, when four teenage boys were killed canoeing in Lyme Bay because of 'the lamentable failure' of the St Albans' Centre, which had organised their trip, to do so properly. The result - as well as the successful prosecution of the centre's owners and managing director - was the establishment in 1996 of the AALA.
A non-departmental public authority, the AALA is funded by the Department of Education and Employment and operates under the guidance of the Health and Safety Commission. Its remit is to regulate centres run by commercial providers, charities and local authorities as well as their activities. But because of its finite resources, it targets only a narrow range of activities which are considered to pose the greatest risk - neither swimming nor river walking among them. Centres which do not provide these proscribed activities do not have to be licensed. And the AALA has no jurisdiction over trips run by schools for their own pupils or by voluntary youth organisations like the Scouts.
While there have been seven deaths at licensed centres since the AALA started work (three from natural causes), no child has died at a licensed centre while engaged in licensed activities. It is in those parts of the school-trip industry which fall outside the AALA's net that most accidents - such as the death last summer of 15-year-old Katherine Fish, from Largs Academy, in a coach crash en route for Barcelona - continue to occur. The government's response has been to issue new guidelines which say that every local education authority in England must appoint an outdoor education adviser to oversee school trips and that every school must have a named member of staff to co-ordinate them.
But these guidelines have been branded 'unworkable' by a damning independent report which says that 60 per cent of those defined as having responsibility for health and safety on school trips have no formal training and 54 per cent of state schools have no budget allocated to safety issues.
To add to the confusion, the National Union of Teachers takes an uncompromising line in favour of trips but the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers has advised its members to boycott them, and the Professional Association of Teachers came close to doing the same at its annual conference, arguing that our 'blame and compensation' culture, plus the potential threat to teachers' careers if they went wrong, could soon make school trips a thing of the past.
Chris Howe of the Outward Bound Trust sees this debate as part of a much bigger picture. 'We are so aware of the risks our children face that we occasionally say it's better that there is no risk,' he says. 'But that does our young people a disservice. When risk is managed properly, young people emerge from these courses feeling more confident, more aware, more able to function as a member of a team. But if we keep on saying the outdoors is a dangerous place, they'll start to believe us. The M6 is a dangerous place, but I spend most of my life on it.'
Since Outward Bound was founded in 1941, it has managed more than 1m young people in the outdoors; mountaineer Chris Bonington chairs its risk-management committee. The charity has started running courses on risk assessment in the outdoors for teachers and local authorities because it has decided that its experience should be shared. The take-up has been overwhelming. 'Our main area of concern is for young people being taken into the outdoors by teachers,' Howe says. 'Unless you are a parent who has had many years of experience in the outdoors, you are totally reliant on your child's teacher telling you it's going to be OK. Teachers need to be much more informed about the decisions they make. They take young people river walking, rock climbing, canoeing, but they are not doing that job every day of the year, in the way staff would be in a properly run centre.'
It is for this reason that teacher Peter James of Wood End Primary brings his pupils to the PGL activity centre at Marchant's Hill every year. PGL is punctilious about safety. All sailing instructors are trained by the Royal Yacht Association, while any activity involving a rope involves external assessment by a qualified mountain instructor.
Yet for all its care and expertise, PGL is not immune from tragedy. In May last year, nine-year-old Charlotte Wright collapsed and died at Marchant's Hill while having a second turn on the trapeze. PGL staff believe natural causes rather than any breach of their safety standards will be found to blame for Charlotte's death. Even so, the centre's general manager, George Best, admits it made him 'have a bit of a think' about how easily things can go wrong. 'I wish the government would just clamp down and tell teachers to take children to proper organisations with the proper licences,' he says. 'I'm sure it will happen. But how many deaths will have to take place before it does?'
The government, however, wishes to be seen to be regulating school trips with a 'gentle touch'. The AALA is undergoing a licensing review but there is no political will to extend its remit. Its head of inspection, Marcus Bailie, believes parents want a single stamp of approval. He proposes a scheme in which licensing would be voluntary but schools would be compelled to use only licensed centres. But while rejecting the extension of compulsory powers, the government is said to believe that a voluntary solution of this kind would have 'no teeth'.
Perhaps it's time the government listened to parents like Kim Cauvet, who will have to live for the rest of their lives with the results of a school trip which went wrong. 'They should never, never, never allow unqualified people to take children on these trips,' she says. 'Action must be taken to stop schools doing it. Rochelle had everything to live for. She was a beautiful girl who wanted to be a model. They are taking too many risks with other people's children.'

Scots police to question Gaddafi henchman
Scottish police officers investigating the Lockerbie bombing are expected to travel to Libya to interview suspects after Libya's new leaders agreed to allow them access.
The move by the Libyan Government could provide a vital breakthrough in the hunt for the perpetrators behind the biggest terrorist atrocity on British soil. The decision to allow officers into the country to conduct inquiries comes after weeks of intense lobbying by the Lord Advocate, Frank Mulholland, QC.
Welcoming the decision Mr Mulholland said: "If media reports are correct I am pleased that the Transitional Government of Libya has agreed to allow officers from Dumfries and Galloway police to travel to Libya for enquiries."
It is understood that the Lockerbie inquiry team are keen to speak to Abudullah al-Senussi,…

Thank You Assembly
Break Up Night Wednesday 14th December
Over the past two weeks I have been monitoring our Jeffery Street Parking and drop off procedures, and although I am very appreciative for the vast majority of people that are taking better care and making safe decisions around driving and drop off, I have still needed to say to a number of people that some spaces are not safe or OK to park or drop off children.
It simply is not safe, legal or Ok to:
As ridiculous as it may seem or sound, all of these above incidents have been reported as happening around our school.
My major concern is the safety of our children. When people are parking illegally it is not only inconsiderate it is also highly UNSAFE. I urge you to please SLOW DOWN around our school and PARK PROPERLY, otherwise we are going to end up with one of your children hurt. It doesn't matter if you "are just going to be there for a minute" or were "running late" not parking properly is not OK.
Thank you to everyone who helped and supported the Kidz Market last weekend. Although it was a little chilly, it was a great experience for our children and an opportunity to clear some of those items that have been outgrown.
Our Anderson's Bay School Playscape is progressing extremely well, in fact it is nearly finished. We are now just waiting on the slide to arrive, which has been ordered and should be nearly finished construction, and the completion of a couple of finishing touches. However, as part of keeping costs down and allowing us to achieve all of our Playscape goals we would like to hold a working bee on Saturday 19th November, from 9:00 am. The nature of the working bee will be to move bark chips from behind the pool to the Playscape, and to complete some final tidy-ups. If you have a couple of hours that you are able to donate to this project, we would greatly appreciate any time and support you can offer. Please contact Geoff Markby, either through the school office or by emailing email@example.com Please bring a shovel and/or wheelbarrow, if you are coming.
The School pool will be open Saturdays 1-3pm for Anderson's Bay School children and their families. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring a gold coin per swimmer for pool entry.
On Wednesday 16 November, we were fortunate enough to have been entertained by the Fairfield School Rock Band, who scheduled us into their Road Trip. This was a fantastic experience for us and we appreciated and enjoyed these talented young musicians.
Our end of year assembly will again be held at the Edgar Centre, on Wednesday 14th December, at 6:00 pm. Please add this date into your calendar, if you have not already done so.
The final day of school for 2016 will be Thursday 15th December. Classes and school will finish at 12:30 pm. Please also add this into your diaries and arrange for the early finish time.
Recently we have had a number of children coming to the School Office during lunch time to get their food heated or to have boiling water added to instant noodles. As a school we do not have the facility to heat food safely for children. Please do not send food that requires heating or preparation in a kitchen as part of a school lunch.
Just a reminder that next week will be the last opportunity for children to get books out of the school library during 2016, as the library will shortly be closing for the year. Overdue notices will be sent home on a weekly basis from next week, and all books should be returned to school by Wednesday 23rd November. There are a large number of library books which we are trying to locate, and we would appreciate your help in having a good look at home for any books with an Anderson's Bay School barcode sticker on the back, and getting these returned to school. Thank you for your assistance.

im not comparing my experience to anyone elses. That is the state of the game for me. I want know where the game is at for other players. Thats nice that you care about my 1k+ hours, but feel free to post your own experience and current feelings about the game.
It's not that there isn't enough content after 80, it's that there isn't enough quality content. This is why there are a lot of players running fractals and not filling up PvE zones like cursed shore or malchors, etc.
Fractals is the most beneficial place to farm in terms of endgame, whether it be for mats, drops, etc.
I hit this wall about 2 months ago where it really came down to finding the most beneficial way to farm karma and gold. Although there aren't many players with 1k+ hours, you can go around and see this is the mindset of a large chunk of "life after 80" players.
As for the ascended rings in fractals.....
You don't need to farm endlessly to get them. You can just get to lvl 10+ and 20+ and do those 2 daily chests once a day until they drop for you. Getting to 30+ with 5 agony resistance isn't too difficult as the only agony boss you can't avoid is jade maw
Some of my biggest problems with GW2 is how they're dealing with the grind for ectos, t6 mats, and having gold-oriented grinds altogether.
Obviously they don't want you to achieve the best infusion and ascended upgrades 1-2 weeks after the release of ascended gear, but 500e, and hundreds of t6 mats just for some minor upgrades is a lot for what its worth. Especially since thats the only way to upgrade. Thats a lot of gold and farm, even for me. I don't expect to see many fully upgraded pink backpieces from many others for a while. I just feel like it was unnecessary for them to add this additional layer of grind and gold sink just to keep people playing, especially when the time investment doesn't come anywhere close to the rewards worth.
tl;dr: am surprised more people aren't QQing about the extra grind needed to upgrade ascended pieces and how anet is adjusting the grind in this game
i kinda understand what you are saying. It just kinda hit me when you said "stop QQing about the pink rings." I think sometimes people miss the point why people are so mad about ascended armor. Tbh now i just learn to not even care about the ascended items. People are mad because anet changed direction of the game and it is completely opposite of what they said at first. Is it a bad direction? I can't comment on that. But there's no denial that it is completely different than before and that's why people are so mad about the ascended items. You also have to understand the people don't play as much as you do (it is completely fine on your part because you can spend your time however you want), it is way harder for them to get certain items. Back on topic, this game is still okay fun for me since now i'm leveling a new character but i went from like 3 hours a day to like 6 hours a week. The lack of PVP mode is what turning me off. I feel like there are only so many options in the game: wvw, spvp, dungeon... (i'm not the type that grinds for lengendary items). I hope they have more varieties of PVP modes like GW1 (gvg, ab, fa, jq, ha, ra, ta...)

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'PlayStation Lobby' started by Rhinoceros., Sep 3, 2013.
Lock if this was already posted
here's the RIME trailer in 1080p
Kinda reminds me of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
Rime looks really good. It's like the SotC sequel Japan Studio refuses to release.
It really looks fantastic. It's like the baby result of a threesome between Ico, SotC and Journey.
Looks really good
Definitely one of most anticipated indies. And I'm not a fan of indies. It is an indie game... Riiiight?
Well if indie means independent then it isn't really an indie since it's produced and published by Sony. And XDev is helping out too.
Ah. Cool, thanks. Thought it was an idnie
Keeping an eye on it.
GODDAYUM. That looks (and sounds) gorgeous!
Everytime I watch the video I get a little more excited.
It looks stunning. Day 1 for sure.
Watching the video for this game is one of the things that made me cancel my Xbox One preorder today. If PlayStation has unique games like this, then thats a HUGE factor in which system I decide to go with. Ive noticed that PlayStation tends to have a wider variety of games and this game being one of them looks AWESOME. Im still undecided on which console to choose and I plan on waiting a few months to make my decision. If I get PS4 then I will without a doubt get my hands on this game.
This game looks pretty cool.
Amazing the reaction a minute long video showing a kid running through some open world areas can bring eh? Game looks promising for sure.
Res0gun though, phew. Stole the show for me. Dem Voxels!
Dude, the Playstation brand always has unique titles like this. You will find dozens of titles like this on any playstation console platform lol. It is the reason I have stuck with Sony for the past 18 years. This is what Playstation gaming is all about. You will have your scores of blockbuster AAA generic titles, but you will also have scores of unique experiences you won't find anywhere else.
was thinking exactly that with a little flower (the flowing grass).
Yeah I know the basic PS exclusives KZ, Uncharted, GoW, Resistance, etc. But a game like this is what really interests me. Its a unique looking game with a real cool art style. Something I couldnt expect seeing on Xbox, maybe because they dont have many Japanese games. But if you know of any other cool games coming to PS4 somewhere down the road that are exclusive and worth checking out, let me know. Trying to get a better idea of the PS exclusives to help me make my decision.
Seems like PS has a much bigger exclusive variety as well.
Post liked for such an appropriate use of that .gif

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' baby arrived just before the New Year, and now it appears an employee of the New York hospital where Lively gave birth (or a clever troll) potentially just leaked the new arrival's name - Violet.
The below tweet appeared, before quickly being removed:
It was followed by this:
The validity of the tweet remains unclear (and considering the likelihood of a hospital employee being so clueless about protecting patient privacy, we're doubtful), but there's no question the world is gagging for information about Lively and Reynolds' spawn. We're hopeful a poetic Preserve post is imminent.

As expected following an injury to Tyler Patmon, the Dallas Cowboys are looking for some cornerback help.
The rookie corner suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the first half of last week's 31-17 victory over the Jaguars in London. The sprained MCL could keep Patmon out for up to a month, prompting Dallas to bring in three cornerbacks--Robert Steeples, Lou Young and Jonte Green--this week for an audition, ESPN Dallas reports.
Steeples came into the league in 2013 as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis, and has spent time with the Rams, Vikings and Chiefs. Young entered the league this year, undrafted out of Georgia Tech, and had a stint with the Ravens practice squad. Green was drafted by the Lions out of New Mexico State in the sixth round back in 2012 and appeared in 24 games with the team, starting seven. For his career, Green has 29 tackles, seven passes defensed and an interception.
Before the MCL injury, the rookie Patmon had seven tackles, a pass defensed and an interception that went for a 58-yard touchdown.

Stop Tightening Your Abs!14 October 2015, 12:00 am
If you've taken a fitness class lately, scanned the most recent fitness magazine, or watched the newest workout video posted to YouTube, you have undoubtedly been informed that you need to stabilize your core or engage your abdominal muscles while working out.
Delivering a punch in a kickboxing class? Tighten your abdominals!
Doing a downward dog in a yoga class? Stay strong in your belly!
Dancing those pounds into oblivion with a Zumba video? Brace your core!
While there is no doubt that you've heard those (or a variation of those), I'm here to warn you that you might not want to believe everything you're told.
While the term "core strength" has been a buzzword in the fitness industry for a while now, I think it's overused and grossly misinterpreted. I hear clients on a daily basis who think all of their symptoms will disappear if they simply strengthen their core. They believe their back pain, hip pain and shoulder pain are due to the simple fact that they're weak. But, that's not necessarily true. While I believe core strength is important, it's not a panacea. Ultimately, you have to look at the position and posture of the body to find the true cause of one's pain.
I'm sure that when you think "core," you think abdominals. You almost definitely think about the "six-pack" abs, and you might think about your oblique muscles, but I'm sure you don't think about anything other than those. However, did you know that your core stretches from your toes all the way up to your skull? Yes, that's right, it's a full-body chain. Take a look at this:
Notice the blue shading? That's one continuous line of fascia (a connective tissue) and muscles that runs from the skull all the way down to the foot. Yes it includes your abdominal muscles, but it includes so much more than that. Known as "The Superficial Front Line," it actually attaches to your toes and your jawbone. In light of that information, hopefully you're starting to think of you "core" in a different light.
Most health professionals run into trouble when thinking of your core as just the abdominal muscles. The muscle that most of them are targeting when telling you to tighten your abs is the transverse abdominis, otherwise known as the TVA. It is shown in the picture below and runs like a weight-belt around your waist.
However, did you know that the TVA should only be used when compressing the abdominal cavity? That's right–the TVA is used for forceful pushing…a.k.a. pooping and puking! In addition, it helps women when birthing children. So unless you're doing one of those three activities while working out, you most likely aren't activating your TVA like it's designed to be used!
Think of guy-wires holding up an old-time circus tent. Those wires can only do their job when they're pulled tight–pulled away from the center of the tent. When the tension is let off of those ropes, therefore allowing the ropes to move toward the tent, the whole tent falls, right? Well, we can think of your TVA in the same way. When you are told to "suck and tuck" or brace your abdominals, there is a compression, an inward motion, that happens. Rather than pulling the guy wires more taut, when you tighten your abs you're actually performing a moving-in motion.
The end result? While thinking that you're stabilizing your abdominals, the reality of the situation is that that movement is having the opposite effect on your abdominal cavity. The guy-wires that are being asked to brace your spine have now become "slack," just like the guy-wires of a circus tent. Remember, the TVA is a compression/inward-motion muscle, not a tension/outward-motion muscle. By "bracing" and compressing your TVA, you're asking for the whole circus tent to come crashing down. And, because of the superficial fascia lines running from head to toe, the effects of instability aren't just felt in your lumbopelvic region. No, unfortunately, the entire body becomes unstable.
If you really want to impact your core, focus on the entire kinetic chain. The muscles of a balanced body know exactly when to work and when not to work. If you're balanced, you won't have to consciously think about tightening or bracing your abdominals. Think about it this way: If I asked you to keep your biceps muscles flexed throughout your entire workout, you'd look at me like I was crazy. You know that tightening your biceps the entire time wouldn't make any sense and those muscles would fatigue. But if you wouldn't continuously tighten your biceps, why are you doing it with your abdominals?
And, just to prove the point: How many of you have your abs tight right now?
How did I know your abs were tight? And, why on Earth were they tight to begin with? We have become so ingrained with the erroneous thinking that we need to tighten our core that most of us are doing it all the time without even thinking about it.
Continue that trend, and your tent will come crashing down.
If you're worried about your tent crashing down, contact us today!
QUESTION: Did I catch you with your abdominals tight?

Self-improvement is impossible without self-awareness; it's the starting point. Understanding your own needs, beliefs, desires, strengths, weaknesses - everything that makes you tick; everything that makes you unique is critical.
In my last blog, What Really Matters! I discussed the second emotional intelligence competency, Self-Actualization.
Let's move onto the third competency, Emotional Self-Awareness
By now most of us know that networking is an essential part of entrepreneurial success. However, those of us not blessed with natural networking skills need a strategy to get the most out of the practice. One component of a successful networking plan is buddy networking. The key to making the buddy approach work for you is to select the right partner or partners, because there's no rule about only having one networking buddy, and to follow through with your plans.
Here are some tips that might help you manage social media while ensuring that your own content is going a long way.
While Facebook discourages posting about your business on your personal profile, you can get away with things like sharing blog posts. A Facebook expert I heard speak recently said that there's no harm in sharing offerings occasionally on your personal profile. Upload videos on Facebook that you might only post on YouTube – these get high engagement on Facebook Pages.
To have a top-notch mentorship relationship, it's important to be a meeting rockstar. Luckily there's a sea of tools out there to help you be the most efficient meeting planner ever.

Mobile, AL (WKRG)
Danny Lipford joins us to talk about garden window repair. For more information on just about anything in home improvement, explore Today's Homeowner.com. Here's a rough transcript of what we talked about:
Chad: This question, not for everyone because when it comes to windows they can be complicated. This person asks: We have a garden window. When it rains we get water inside the window, nothing runs down the sides but there's always a little puddle in the bottom. Can't figure it out what can you do?
Danny: Boy those garden windows were so popular especially right in the kitchen, you can have the feeling of a little more space in your kitchen and the plants there, they're pretty nice. I don't know as popular as they used to be. But, what you need to do, is you need to get on the outside, look very carefully at any little track that you may have because there's a lot of little areas there where water should get in and drain out. So it's more or less like a little miniature gutter system if you will, that needs to be cleaned out all the time. So if you're getting some water inside it may be that simply needs a very good cleaning I would be careful with any pressure washing or anything along those lines but just a good cloth and a good soapy solution is probably all you need to clean everything you have there. After it's cleaned look real carefully and if you see any type of crack whatsoever on it use a good quality silicone and put a little bit of caulking here, a little bit of caulking there in order to fill in any of those cracks it's probably the result of a little bit of settling. Seal those up and you'll seal away all of the water getting inside.
Chad: If you want to add a garden window to your home how do you know whether or not you have the appropriate wall or spot for it?
Danny: Well just measure carefully, there are a lot of different sizes and you don't want to compromise on the size of it and you'll find one that fits just about any of the common windows that are available. It's probably a pretty tough do it yourself project you are obligating yourself to the elements when you take a certain window out. Most of the garden windows do require the window to be completely removed, it's a very important component in your home so that's probably something better left to the pros.
