How To Get A Full Body Workout At Home Without Any Equipment
Get Fit In Your Home
It can be difficult to get fit, especially when you consider the price of gym memberships. Of course, you can buy some equipment to use in your home – but this too can become expensive. The following workout, helps you to lose weight, tones the whole body and requires no equipment whatsoever. Having some music playing while you do this workout can make it more fun.
1. Start by warming up by jogging on the spot for 3 – 5 minutes. This will get your heart racing, boost your metabolism and get your whole body prepared for the coming exercises.
2. Push ups – It's time to get those arms working and nothing does this better, than your simple push up. Do these for around two minutes before moving on to the next exercise.
– Go down onto the floor, into the plank position with your arms on the ground, slightly outside your shoulders.
– Slowly lower your body, until your chest is almost touching the floor – pause for a second before slowly returning to your start position.
– If you struggle doing push ups, try the move on your knees as this makes it a little easier.
3. Jumping jacks – You should then do three minutes of jumping jacks, to get your heart racing again. This cardio move works your whole body and burns calories.
– Start by standing up straight with your arms by your side.
– Jump up and as you do this, bring your legs out and your arms up and out.
– Return to your starting position in one swift movement.
4. Crunches – Crunches are great for working those abdominal muscles and if you do them regularly, you are guaranteed the stomach of your dreams.
– Lie flat on your back with your knees slightly bent and your arms out at your sides.
– Slowly bring your head and shoulders up off the ground, making sure that your core does all the work.
– Return to the starting position and continue until 2 minutes or so has passed.
5. Lunges – Lunges are really easy to do, they are cardio centered but they also help to tone your legs and butt. Do around 3 minutes of lunges before moving on to the next move.
– Stand up straight, with your feet shoulder width apart and your shoulders back.
– Step forward with one leg and lower to the floor using your hips.
– Once both of your knees are at a 90 degree angle, you can return to the start position. Ensure that your knee never extends beyond your foot in this workout.
– Make sure that you alternate which leg goes forward every time that you lunge.
6. Jog on the spot for around 2 minutes to keep that heart racing before moving onto the final move in the full-body workout.
7. Leg ups – This is a killer move especially if you have never done it before, but it's perfect for toning your abs.
– Lie flat on your back, with your arms out to your side.
– Slowly lift your legs until they are above your body, before slowly lowering. You should find this quite difficult but that means that it's working!
How To Prepare For And Run A Marathon
How To Run A Marathon
If you are reading this, it's obvious you are preparing or planning to run a marathon. If you are intending to run a marathon, you should already be in a fitness program and in good physical shape. The most important thing before you can even begin the preparation for running a marathon is to first schedule a meeting with your doctor. This will help you establish whether you are physically fit to participate in the marathon. Here are some ideas that will help you successfully prepare and run a marathon.
Maintain good mental strength and enthusiasm
Exercising harder than your body can bear can lead to mental stress. If you do not have enough mental strength, remaining enthusiastic about the marathon may be difficult and thus fail to work towards your objectives. Your must ensure that your mind is well prepared to take on the set everyday physical duties.
Feel free to meditate so that you can clear your mind before you begin training for a marathon. You can also listen to your favorite music as you run. Just do anything that can calm your mind.
Set achievable objectives.
In setting goals that are achievable, you will need to ask yourself the following questions. Why are you running the marathon? Are you fit and just want to try something new or would you like to get rid of extra weight? Is there a specific time you would like to finish the marathon?
If you simply want to finish the marathon without a set time frame, then your marathon training will be quite easy when compared to that of a person who would like to finish the run within a specific period of time. If you would like to run the entire marathon without walking or stopping, you will have to do more strength training exercises. The program for your marathon training will be dependent on your set targets, so knowing them will help you work towards meeting them.
Change your diet
Preparing to run for a marathon requires total dedication and a well balanced diet. Be careful on the snacks you consume and the meals you take. Focus on more complex carbohydrates in your meals. They will give you the needed endurance that is vital when running the marathon. This does not mean your whole meal should consist of carbohydrates, but you will require a good amount of proteins, vegetables and fruits. Do not forget to take enough fluids because proper hydration is important if you are planning to run a marathon.
Give yourself enough time to train
Always start your marathon training program at least 6 months before the actual day so that you can slowly build up enough stamina. Training for a marathon is no walk in the park, so starting as early as you can is much better. Avoid injuring yourself before the marathon. Training to run a marathon includes listening to your body and adhering to what is beyond your body's limit. If you force your body to exceed its limit, then your body may try and fight back. Look for the right training schedule and stick to it. Before you can settle on a training schedule, consider your age and gender. A good training program is that which can challenge you, while at the same time provide enough room for endurance to meet your set objectives.
Run the marathon
Always remember to the targets you set while you were beginning your marathon training. If you have been training with a partner or friends, the better for motivation. Listen to your body as you run, and if it tells you to slow, then just do so. Do not over strain yourself. You can walk for some minutes then when you are ok, you can resume running. Bear in mind you can complete the race if you slow down, but the same cannot happen if you injure yourself.
What to think about when running the actual marathon
When running, block your mind from all negative thoughts and focus on positive thoughts. You can think about the next step or the next mile. Keep a positive mindset and do not worry about the other people in the race. Focus on your breath and keep it steady. However, its only natural that your mind will get distracted, when you realize you are getting distracted, try and get back to focus.
Recovery after running the marathon
How fast you recover after running the marathon will largely depend on how you treat yourself on the days you will be resting. You should ensure you get the right kind of nutrition on your rest days and every other day. If your body is tired, you are likely going to be dull. To brighten up, give yourself enough time to rest. After you have finished the real marathon, always keep walking so that you do not cramp up. Give yourself a reward for training and running a marathon.

Eye on Golf Equipment: Nike Dunks
|The green/black version of the Nike Dunks. (Nike.com)
Golf is a sport with ever-changing tools. There are drivers, putters, balls, towels, bags, socks, grips and everything in between. Here at Eye on Golf, we will start reviewing the latest in golf equipment each Tuesday in hopes that our words will help you make a better decision on what's best for you. This week, we give you the Nike Dunk golf shoes.
There is nothing more fun than a fresh pair of shoes. No matter if you're buying dress shoes, sneakers or athletic kicks, putting on a new pair with no scuffs or marks makes anyone, male or female, feel good.
And while we have lived in a world where golf equipment now changes as fast as the digital camera, it took a decent amount of time for the golf shoe to start evolving.
Not anymore.
Companies such as Nike, who have already changed the golf hat and are working on apparel, have decided that golf shoes don't have to be that front-billed flap or saddle-style golf shoe anymore, and the Nike Dunks you see to your right are probably the best example of this.
The Dunks, retailing at $130, are a Nike shoe that long ago came out with no spikes for the everyday hipster but are now exactly what the younger generation might like to sport on the golf shoe to look as original as anyone else.
They are good looking, comfortable, and come in a variety of colors so you have a chance to match it up with just about any outfit you've got.
I went with the Green/Black/White version you see to the right, and they specifically pop if you don't mind going with the new ongoing fad of wearing white golf pants. They also look pretty solid with shorts and no-look socks if you are lucky enough to live in a place that isn't freezing right now.
I'm a big fan of anything that can separate you from the rest of the golfing community (Happy Gilmore once had a great line about what he'd do to himself if he caught himself wearing traditional golf clothes) and the Nike Dunks do just that.
Want Eye on Golf to review your golf products? Just hit us up on Twitter right here.

This invention relates generally to power generating systems, and, more particularly, to a system and method for controlling load dump voltage of a synchronous machine.
A load dump condition is where the electrical load on the alternator, including the battery, goes instantly to zero, for example, via a broken or disconnected wire. A load dump test determines whether transients, for example, voltage transients output by the alternator under various conditions exceed a predetermined threshold. The threshold is selected to protect, for example, semiconductor devices that may draw power from the system as well as to protect the generator equipment as well. A load dump can, however, result in undesirable transients, for example, a voltage spike in the automobile electrical system which transients can cause damage to sensitive electrical and electronic systems.
Typically a load dump apparatus may operate alone or in combination to short circuit the machine; disconnect the load from the machine; or clamp the voltage to some maximum level. For example, short circuiting the machine, while disconnecting the load including the battery, is an effective method to achieve the load dump in an automobile generator operating at or about the maximum output of the machine. However, if the battery is disconnected the system voltage may collapse and the automobile may stall before the system can reinitiate regulation.
In an exemplary conventional system employing an alternator having a polyphase winding and a bridge circuit, when the load dump condition occurs, avalanche diodes employed in the bridge circuit short the phase windings, thereby limiting output voltage to the avalanche voltage limit of the diode. This limit is within the load dump threshold. However, high energy absorbing diodes are required, which increases the cost of the system.
Hoffman et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,181,111, disclose an alternator for an automotive vehicle having a rotating permanent magnet (i.e., rotor) configured to induce a voltage in a stationary armature in which a three-phase winding is disposed. The winding is configured in a delta arrangement and is coupled to a bridge comprising six controlled rectifiers, an upper and lower rectifier for each phase. The rectifiers are disclosed as being silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). The alternator may be configured to produce a conventional output voltage of about 14.5 volts. Hoffman et al. further disclose a relatively complex circuit for responding to a load dump condition. The complex circuit increases cost and limits its usefulness in large scale production. Moreover, Hoffman et al. recognize that a high transient voltage may nonetheless exist for one alternation, notwithstanding the presence of the above complex circuit, and therefore provide for a metal oxide varistor (MOV) across the alternator output terminals as a limiting device. It is believed that such a device would have to be selected to dissipate a large amount of power and accordingly would be of increased cost which is undesirable.
Peter, U.S. Pat. No. 5,773,964, discloses an apparatus for controlling the output and torque of a synchronous alternator and employs a control bridge rectifier and a pulse width modulator (PWM) signal controlled field winding. The bridge in Peter is controlled for establishing a desired phase relationship between the alternating voltage and alternating current of the output winding to control the output and torque of the machine. While Peter discusses no load and short circuit conditions, Peter is concerned primarily with the control of the inductive characteristics of the circuit in order to vary the output and control the torque load on a machine.
There is therefore a need for an improved power generating system that minimizes or eliminates one or more of the problems discussed hereinabove.
The invention is based upon the discovery that, in an automotive electrical system employing a synchronous generator having polyphase windings, a field winding and a bridge having upper and lower electronically controlled switches operably connected to the polyphase windings, when an over-voltage is detected in any phase, the field is set to a predetermined level, the switches in the upper rectifier are set open so that the upper portion of the bridge operates as a diode bridge, and the lower switches are controlled in accordance with the corresponding current and voltage for the phase to which it is connected, so that each lower switch is off or open for a positive going part of the phase current, and when the phase current voltage exceeds a selected triggering level, the switch for the corresponding phase turns on shorting the phase winding for the remaining portion of the cycle. When the voltage falls below the trigger level the lower switch is turned off.
In an exemplary embodiment the invention is directed to a power generating system comprising a synchronous machine including a multiphase stator winding output and corresponding outputs, and a field winding; a bridge including a pair of electronically controllable upper and lower switches for each phase coupled to the corresponding stator winding output and having a common node, the bridge having an output configured to be coupled to the battery and load of an automobile. A switch controller is operatively connected to open and close the switches to control the bridge output for operation at a predetermined first voltage corresponding to an operating voltage, and in response to an over-voltage condition to close the lower switches to control the bridge at a voltage lower than a first voltage. Concurrently with the over-voltage condition, the duty cycle of the field winding may be set to a predetermined level to insure that the system voltage is maintained at some minimum level. The invention is also operable for use in a permanent magnet synchronous machine.
The invention may also be characterized as a load dump for a power generating system employing a synchronous machine having polyphase output windings producing a polyphase output and which includes a controlled rectifier bridge having an input coupled to the polyphase output windings and an output coupled between a direct voltage output terminal and ground terminal of the bridge. The bridge employs a plurality of electronically controllable switches, each being controllable to respective on and off conditions an accordance with a corresponding conduction signal applied thereto. The plurality of switches are arranged as series connected pairs between the output terminal and ground and have an intermediate node for each pair coupled to the polyphase winding. A switch controller responsively coupled to the output terminal of the bridge produces selected over-voltage conduction signals operative to turn off the upper switches and to turn on the lower switches when the output voltage is greater than or equal to a selected over-voltage condition, and to extinguish the over-voltage conduction signals when the output voltage falls to a level which is less than or equal to a nominal operating voltage below the over-voltage condition.
The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic and block diagram of a power generation system employing a load dump feature according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a more detailed schematic diagram of the circuit shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a timing diagram illustrating the output voltage of the circuit of FIG. 1 with an unclamped over-voltage condition superimposed thereon.
FIG. 4 is a wave form diagram showing the voltage recovery as a function of time.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the method steps.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals are used to identify identical components in the various views, FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a power generation system 10 which employs a load dump feature according to the invention. The power generation system 10 is adapted for use in automobile vehicles and advantageously employs a synchronous alternator 12 including a polyphase stator winding 14, a bridge 16 employing electronically controllable switches 18 and having an input 20 coupled to the winding 14 and a direct current output 22. A battery 24 is coupled to the output 22 of the bridge 16. One or more electrical loads 26 may be coupled to the battery 24 via a switch 28. Optionally a transient voltage limiting device such as a zener diode or a varistor 30 may be coupled across the load 22 as shown. A master controller 32, e.g., microprocessor or other appropriate device, is responsively coupled to the output 22 of the bridge 16 for producing conduction signals. A switch controller 34 is responsively coupled to the master controller 32 and is operatively coupled to the electronically controlled switches 18 of bridge 16 to control gating the conduction signals.
The alternator 12 has a rotor (not shown) which is driven at a variable speed by an engine 36 on a motor vehicle (also not shown). The rotor has a field winding 38 and a suppression diode 40 coupled in parallel as shown. A field exitation current Ie is provided to establish the magnetization of the rotor. As the rotor rotates, an alternating voltage VA, VB and VC is induced in each of the corresponding windings 14A, 14B and 14C of the polyphase winding 14 in a known manner. The frequency of the alternating voltage generated in winding 14 is directly proportional to the angular velocity or speed of rotation of the motor. The magnitude or amplitude of this voltage is also a function of rotor speed and the field excitation current Ie. The latter is controlled by any one of a number of well-known expedients for maintaining the output voltage of the alternator at a desired value, for example 14 volts.
The phase windings 14A, 14B and 14C of the output winding have a neutral point 42 and respective output nodes A, B and C as shown. The output winding 14 of the machine is characterized by generation of a plurality of alternating full cycles per phase. Nodes A, B and C are coupled to input terminals 44A, 44B and 44C at the input 20 of the bridge 16 for converting the three phase alternating voltage output of the winding to a direct voltage at the output 22 of the bridge between the output terminals 46 and 48 as illustrated.
Alternatively, a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machine may be employed instead of a field excited machine. A wide variety of configurations are known to those of ordinary skill in the art for such permanent magnet alternatives. It should be understood that when a PM alternator is employed field control is not available. However, the load dump feature of the invention would be operable in either case with certain modifications which are hereinafter discussed.
Conductor 50 supplies the current to field coil 38 from battery 24 as shown. Field exitation current Ie is controlled in accordance with an electronic switch 52, e.g., field effect transistor having a gate 54 which receives a pulse width modulator (PWM) signal from the master controller 32 over line 56. The controller 32 is controlled in accordance with program instructions executed thereby. An over voltage detector 60 monitors the output of the bridge 16 in order to determine if an over voltage condition exists. Upon the occurrence of such over voltage condition, the detector 60 provides an input to master controller 32.
The master controller 32 may further monitor an engine throttle position via a TPS sensor 62, which provides an input to master controller 32 on line 64, to determine the desirability of reducing the torque load upon the engine as desired. Additionally, temperature sensor 66 may provide an temperature input to the master controller 32 over line 68. The temperature sensed may represent a measure of battery temperature or other temperature correlated thereto.
In accordance to the invention when an over-voltage condition occurs the master controller produces the PWM signal having a selected pulse rate and applies the same to the gate 54 of the switch 52 which thereby controls and maintains the excitation current Ie at some selected minimal level, typically about 20% of maximum field current. This minimum excitation insures that the alternator produces a minimum current which in turn insures that the system voltage of the automobile does not collapse in the event that the generator output is diverted as hereinafter discussed. It should be understood, that the minimum excitation current may be further reduced to near zero if desired. It is simply desirable to maintain system voltage for a time sufficient to allow the alternator to recover from an overload condition and to enable it to regain regulation. Under normal operating conditions the PWM signal may be varied so as to increase the exitation current as load demand require.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the bridge employs the electronically controlled switches 18, which in the exemplary embodiment are arranged in pairs of series connected lower and upper switch elements 80L-80U, 82L-82U and 84L-84U for each corresponding phase 14A, 14B and 14C respectively. The electronically controlled switches 18 are connected as shown. Lower switch elements may be depicted a parallel combination of a normally open controllable switch 90 and a diode 92. Upper switch elements may likewise be depicted as a parallel combination of a normally open controllable switch 90′ and diode 92′. When the switch 90 is controlled to the open position the lower control operates as a free wheeling diode 92. When the switch 90 is closed, the control rectifier operates as a short circuit.
In an exemplary embodiment the electronically controlled switches 18 may take various forms. For example the switches may be in the form of FET switches or silicon control rectifiers (SCRs) or TRIAICs. The SCRs would be connected in anti parallel in the lower switches. Another expedient could employ a conventional bridge rectifier with three reverse SCRs in the lower switches. In the latter case the SCRs would be connected in is a conventional device which has a gate which may be energized to cause the device to conduct. An SCR is a latchable device which means that once gated on, it continues to conduct until the diode element sees a reversed bias at which point the SCR self commutates off.
In the exemplary embodiment each switch element 80L-81U, 82L-82U and 84L-84U has a corresponding control terminal a-a1, b-b1 and c-c1, which in the exemplary embodiment, corresponds to the control for the switches 90′-90′ in each of the switch elements as described above. The switch control 34 has gate outputs 94, which have corresponding terminals a-a1, b-b1 and c-c1 coupled to the corresponding control terminals.
Master controller 32 may produce normal conduction signals for the governing the switch controller 34, for example when the system is operating at or below the maximum allowable voltage. When an over voltage condition occurs, as sensed either directly, or as shown, by the over voltage detector, the master controller 32 may produce an alternative set of switch control signals for controlling the switch controller 34. Alternatively, the switch controller 34 may directly control the condition of the output terminals a-a1, b-b1 and c-c1 under normal conditions, and when an over voltage condition occurs the switch controller 34 may be operative in response to the over voltage detector 60 to select an alternative series of switch conditions to control the terminals a-a1, b-b1 and c-c1.
In the exemplary embodiment, the switch controller 34 responsive to the master controller 32 controls the conduction timing of outputs a, b, c-a1, b1, c1 for operating the bridge 16 under normal operating conditions, that is, when no over-voltage condition is sensed. Under such conditions, the switches 90 and 90′ are operated in accordance with conventional timing sequences to control the generator output. However, if an over-voltage condition is sensed, the master controller 32 is responsive to produce different conduction timing signals and the switch controller 34 controls the conductive states such that switch 90 in lower switch element 80L is closed for shunting out the corresponding phase winding and driving the output for the corresponding phase to zero. Switch 90 in lower switch element 80L remains closed shunting the phase winding 14A for the remaining portion of the phase. At the same time the upper switch 90′ is open and diode 92′ operates as free wheeling diode. If the over-voltage condition persists, then in a similar manner the switch 90′ of lower rectifier 82L is closed to shunt the phase winding 14B for that portion of the cycle that the over voltage condition exists. Likewise, the switch 90 of lower rectifier 84L is operated to shunt the phase winding 14C. In addition, when the over voltage condition exists, the master controller 36 produces the appropriate PWM signal to limit the field current Ie.
As long as the over-voltage condition exists during any cycle the corresponding state of the switch element 90�90 in the switches 18 are maintained and the field current is limited. However, when the over-voltage condition dissipates, the bridge 16 is enabled to operate under normal conditions and the limitation on the field excitation current is released.
FIG. 3 illustrates the output voltage of the bridge during an over-voltage condition. The dotted wave-form represents the uncontrolled or unclamped bridge output and the solid line wave-form represents the clamped or controlled voltage condition. An over-voltage condition exists when the unclamped output voltage of the bridge 16 exceeds limit voltage VL. Upon the occurrence of an over-voltage condition in any phase, the gate controller 34 gates the corresponding switch 90 in corresponding lower switch element 80L, 82L and 84L, as the case may be, to an on, or closed condition thereby short circuiting the corresponding output winding 14A, 14B or 14C.
The dotted line wave-form depicts the output wave-form for one phase voltage only, namely phase A of winding 14A. It should be understood that phase windings 14B and 14C produce similar waveforms, but these are not shown because the behavior of phase voltage A is exemplary. The dotted line illustrates the uncontrolled output of winding 14A during an over voltage condition. The solid line illustrates the output of the winding 14A, controlled in accordance with the invention. When the uncontrolled voltage limit VL is exceeded, i.e., when the output of the winding 14A exceeds the voltage limit VL (14 V)(dotted line), the output of the rectifier is momentarily shut down for the remaining portion of the phase output (solid line). The solid line wave-form illustrates that the uncontrolled voltage output of winding 14A is immediately brought to zero when an over voltage condition is sensed. The same control is implemented for windings 14B and 14C. As can be appreciated from an inspection of the drawing, when the over-voltage condition exists the output of the winding is brought to zero for the remaining portion of the phase cycle. As the over-voltage condition subsides, the unclamped voltage eventually falls below the limit value VL and the phase voltage is eventually released allowing it to produce a full cycle of output energy. Likewise when the over-voltage condition subsides the field exitation is allowed to operate at a higher level so as to meet varying load conditions
As illustrated in FIG. 4, when the over-voltage condition subsides, it typically falls below the limit value VX to some value and then recovers to the nominal value VN. The voltage passes through a knee K or minima in the curve. The field current is typically set so that the minima K does not diminish to zero or near zero volts VO for any appreciable time which would cause the system voltage to collapse. If the response time of the system is fast, the excitation current may be reduced to allow the system voltage to approach zero without significantly risking system voltage collapse. If the system has a slower response time, then the value of the excitation current may be set at some higher value, for example, 20% which will allow the system voltage to fall below the limit and yet be sufficient to maintain the system voltage for a time sufficient for the system to recover.
As noted above it is possible to operate the system using a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor. With such an arrangement it is not possible to employ field control to reduce the generator output. Accordingly, when the lower switches are closed, the machine current will increase to some maximum. Under such conditions, because the currents are essentially uncontrolled, it is necessary to provide for more robust switching elements. On the other hand, if a field control motor is employed, as illustrated hereinabove, when the windings are shorted, the system will produce a maximum current which corresponds to the field excitation current established by the PWM control. Accordingly, the energy dissipating capability of the rectifier switches may be significantly reduced.
FIG. 5 illustrates in schematic block form a method for operating a synchronous power generator in accordance with the present invention. The system looks for an over-voltage condition at 120 and upon the occurrence of such condition, the system detects the over-voltage condition at 124. If such condition exists, the field current limit is set at 126 and the switch controller operates the lower switches at 128 such that lower rectifiers to limit the output of the corresponding phase windings. The system continues to look for an over- voltage condition at 130. If the over-voltage condition persists, the conditions at 126 and 128 are maintained at 132. If the over-voltage condition subsides the system releases the field current maximum and releases the switch constraints at 134. Thereafter the system continues to look for a over-voltage condition as exemplified by the return to block 136. It should be understood that if a permanent magnet machine is employed the current limiting step 124 and corresponding release at 134 are not employed.

Rijkaard the celebrity at Bahrain Gulf Cup
Saudi Arabia boss has extensive experience from Netherlands and Barcelona
Dubai: Although only a few of the players on show at the 21st Gulf Cup in Bahrain, which begins in Manama on Saturday, are well known outside of the GCC, some of the managers have vast experience of football's biggest stages.
Host nation coach Gabriel Calderon, who managed in the UAE Pro-League with Bani Yas last season, as a player had an important role as Argentina reached the final of the 1990 Fifa World Cup in Italy. He also played in the 1982 World Cup in Spain and spent many years in Europe.
Paul Le Guen, meanwhile, led Lyon to three successive French league titles early in the last decade, before also managing Glasgow Rangers in Scotland and the Cameroon national team ahead of his 2011 move to Oman. Unfortunately for the 48-year-old Frenchman, he will be without his best-known player in goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi, who is staying with English Premier League club Wigan Athletic to help their fight against relegation.
But the biggest managerial name of all is that of Dutchman Frank Rijkaard — a legendary player for Ajax, AC Milan and his national team, before coaching the Dutch side and Spanish club giants Barcelona.
Rijkaard, now aged 50 and in charge of Saudi Arabia, led the Netherlands in his first managerial role to Euro 2000, where they produced some scintillating football — beating Yugoslavia 6-1 in the quarter-finals — but they were knocked out on penalties by Italy at the last-four stage.
After an unsuccessful stint with Dutch minnows Sparta Rotterdam, Rijkaard was appointed Barcelona boss in 2003 and set about reviving the Catalan club's ailing fortunes. He built the foundations that led to the more recent successes enjoyed by successor Pep Guardiola by building a team around the qualities of La Masia academy graduates such as Carles Puyol, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, behind a front three of Ronaldinho, Ludovic Giuly and Samuel Eto'o.
The Nou Camp club hadn't won a trophy since 1999, but under Rijkaard they won back-to-back La Liga titles and the Uefa Champions League in 2006.
The Gulf Cup tournament has a long history of giving a first break in the region to some of the very biggest names in football. Luminaries such as Leeds and England legend Don Revie (UAE), Brazilians Mario Zagallo (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE) and Carlos Alberto Parreira (Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia), ex-USSR boss Valery Lobanovskyi (Kuwait) and current England manager Roy Hodgson (UAE) all had spells in the GCC and took teams to the tournament over the years.

"My mom made this beef stroganoff weekly when I was younger. I don't have the same metabolism I did then, but it's still the best $%#&* beef stroganoff I have ever had. I just want to thank everyone for all the wonderful reviews and ideas, I too now add a splash of Worcestershire sauce! Thanks again!"
Serving Size: 1 (199 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 6
I read many of the reviews before working on this recipe and it has certainly helped.
I modified the recipe using a couple of suggestions from different people who have also reviewed this recipe.
Below are the simple modifications and some tips to make the best beef stroganoff you've ever had.
Use only 1/3 cup of sour cream. (1 cup is simply too much!)
Use 3 cloves of garlic instead of just one. (Adds more flavor. One is not enough.)
Add 1 and 1/2 to 2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce before adding the soup (Adds more flavor.)
Use 1 teaspoon of black pepper instead of just 1/4 teaspoon. (Adds more flavor.)
Use fresh mushrooms (chopped thinly) instead of canned mushrooms. I used about half of an 8 oz package (the kind in the blue styrofoam.) Saute the mushrooms with the onion and garlic until browned. The fresh mushrooms add a buttery taste to the stroganoff.
I used 85% lean 15% fat ground beef.
I used a red onion. I don't think the type of onion matters but the important thing is mincing the onion and garlic really well!
For the cream of mushroom soup, I used "Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup with Garlic."
I added about 1/3 cup of milk and 1/3 cup of water after step 3 to help unthicken the soup.
The finished product should be amazing and flavorful! If you can see onions without looking closely for them, that means you probably did not mince them well enough.
Follow these tips and you won't have to worry about this recipe tasting bland like homemade hamburger helper.
"Very good! I did make some changes though after reading other reviews in order to add a bit more flavor. I used 3 cloves garlic, only 1/3 c sour cream and added 1 tablespoon worchestershire, and some frozen peas for the extra nutrition. Also needed to add a bit of water after adding the soup to thin it out. Will make this again."
"I've made this so many times that I can't believe I never took the time to review it. This is a great, easy recipe and very tasty. I usually skip the canned mushrooms because I never have them on hand (although I do sometimes saute fresh mushrooms in butter and spoon them over the top of each dish), plus I add about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and about a 1/4 cup of beef broth for flavor and a thinner consistency. This is a HUGE hit in my house. DH requests it on a weekly basis."
"This tasted like homemade hamburger helper. Even with the addition of worcestershire sauce it was very bland and just totally plain. I can see fixing this for the kids on a weeknight when I am not so hungry but not anytime soon. I would post a slew of suggestions for tweeking the recipe but then that would just be a completely different recipe now wouldn't it? It was easy and filling but I just don't understand the rave reviews over this one at all."
"Very Good! I did make a couple of changes. I used 2- 8 oz fresh sliced mushrooms { I sauted with the onions and garlic} I used two cans of mushroom soup, and two T Worcestershire sauce.
Thanks for posting."
"This was some pretty good $#%&!! I used 3 cans of mushrooms because we love them and I used 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup so it would be more creamy. I think that next time I will cut the sour cream back to 3/4 cup. This was fast and easy...great weeknight meal. Thanks so much for posting!"
"Followed recipe to the "T", turned out tasting only of sour cream, tasted it before adding it and it tasted great..should have left it out and ate it thick. Bit of a let down, especially with all the rave reviews."
"Easy to make and fast for a dinner but seemed to be extremely thick and cakey. Probably would try again. However I would add sour cream and flour as I go to my desired consistency."
"Not a bad quick meal, but not what I would normally call beef stroganoff"
"Very good! But definitely use a name brand soup for this. The second time I made it, I used a store brand, and the stroganoff was very, very bland. It's probably the first time I'd ever noticed a taste difference using a store brand soup vs. name brand. Instead of canned mushrooms, I sauted fresh along with the onions and beef. This will definitely be in the regular meal rotation. Thank you!"
"I wish that I'd left out the sour cream. I tasted it before adding, and it was plenty creamy already. The sour cream just made it bland, even though I only used 1/2c. I used fresh mushrooms (cooked separately in butter) and added a few splashes of worcestershire sauce. If I were to make this again I would leave out the sour cream, and maybe add some paprika and parsley. I do agree that it was very easy to make and has a nice meaty flavor."
"This was a wonderful base recipe for Stroganoff. I did add a few items and change one or two things. I used Top Round cut into cubes which I browned with the onion, garlic, as well as a minced cerrano pepper (we like a little heat). I seasoned the meat with a little salt, pepper, and paprika before browning. I also used fresh button mushrooms (i think next time I will either slice some crimini's or use chantrels). This is an easy dish to make, and tastes extraordinary. If you want to put a little spin on it you can also serve over rice, which I did the first time I made it, and it is really nice. Serve with either fresh green beans or maybe asparagus if it is in season. Great recipe. Thank you."
"Delicious recipe I did tweek a bit, added 1/2-1cup dry sherry, 1 tsp dijon mustard, and 1tsp paprika to the cooking ground beef. Also one little squirt, maybe 1-2 T of ketchup layers the flavors."
"Not that impressed. Sorry."
"Simple and easy. It was good and we will definitely make it again. The sauce didn't have as much of a meaty flavor as I would have preferred. The sauce was also a little thicker than I wanted. Perhaps next time I will add some beef broth to change the texture and flavor a bit. I also used fresh sliced mushrooms instead of the canned ones. I think fresh mushrooms taste a thousand times better than canned ones but that's just me. My DH loved it."
"I didn't really care for this, but my husband absolutely loved it. Maybe I used beef that didn't have enough fat in it. I used 7% lean ground beef because that's what I always buy. The flour didn't have anything to soak up....I ended up having to add two cans of mushroom soup in order for it to be moist enough, and I used a container of fresh mushrooms instead of canned. But my husband wants me to try it again, so maybe I'll try different % of beef, and name brand soup."
"This is a good basic recipe but I had to add worcheshire and A LOT of salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder to liven up the flavor. Good base recipe though!"
"This is exactly the same as my mom's recipe except that we use cream of chicken (sounds different but works Wonderfully!). Thanks for posting this easy and awesome recipe!"
"It was really bland and kind of gross. Noone at my house ate it. I will not make it again."
"This is my new beef stroganoff recipe! So good and so easy. I especially love the garlic. All my other stroganoff recipes did not have garlic and I think that it makes a world of difference. In fact, sometimes I add an extra clove. Thanks so much!"

Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles
"Map-Based Location with Base Stations"

in the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Computing (ICSPCC), September 2011
After careful and considered review of the content and authorship of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE's Publication Principles.

"Map-Based Location and Tracking in Multipath Outdoor Mobile Networks"
by Marco Anisetti, Claudio A. Ardagna, Valerio Bellandi, Ernesto Damiani and Salvatore Reale,
in the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, Vol 10, No 3, March 2011
Nowadays, geolocation services based on GSM/3G networks are getting more and more popular. We suggest a new method of geolocation service which will not make major changes to the current mobile network infrastructure. Instead, it is entirely performed on the mobile network side, making it more robust than other location-based services because it largely eliminated the security threats to the terminals and the location spoofing problems. Our approach is based on a novel database correlation technique over Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) data, and provides a geolocation and tracking technique based on advanced map- and mobility-based filtering. The data are collected from mobile antennas in the urban area. The performance of the geolocation algorithm has been carefully validated by an extensive experimentation, carried out on real data collected from the mobile network antennas of a complex urban environment.
