Chapter 10: Nutrients, Physical Activity, and the Body's Responses
Nutrients, Physical Activity, and the Body's Responses
•This chapter refer= s to "you" to make the connection between academic thinking and pers= onal choices.
•To understand the interactions between physical activity and nutrition, you must first know a= few things about fitness, its benefits, and training to develop fitness.
•Later, we will dis= cuss how to fuel physical activities with food and fluids.
•Fitness depends on= a certain minimum amount of physical activity or exercise.
–Exercise is a vigorous, structured, and planned type of physical activity.
–In this chapter, both wor= ds will be used interchangeably.
Benefits of Fitness
•Compared with unfit people, physically fit people enjoy:
•More restful sleep
•Improved nutritional health
•Improved body composition
•Improved bone density
•Enhanced resistance to infectious diseases
•Lower risk of some cancers
•Lower risk of cardiovascular disease
•Lower risk of type 2 diabetes
•Reduced risk of gallbladder disease (women)
•Lower incidence and severity of anxiety and depression
•Stronger self-image
•Longer life and higher quality of life in the later years
The Essentials of Fitness
•To be physically f= it, you need to develop enough flexibility, muscle strength, m= uscle endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance to allow you to meet the demands of everyday life with some to spare, and you need to have a reasonable body composition.
How Do My Muscles Gain Strength and Size?
•Stretching enhances flexibility
•Weight training de= velops muscle strengths and endurance
•Aerobic activity improves cardiorespiratory endurance
How Do My Muscles Gain Strength and Size?
•Muscle cells respo= nd to an overload of physical activity by gaining strength and size, a response called hypertrophy.
•Muscles adapt to activities they are called upon to perform repeatedly.
–Swim to be a better swimm= er
–Bike to be a better biker=
How Do My Muscles Gain Strength and Size?
How Do My Muscles Gain Strength and Size?
•Bodies are shaped = by the activities they perform
How Does Weight Training Benefit Health and Fitness= ?
•Weight training can emphasize either muscle strength or endurance.
–Muscle strength – c= ombine high resistance (heavy weight) with a low number of repetitions
–Muscle endurance – combine less resistance (lighter weight) with more repetitions
How Does Weight Training Benefit Health and Fitness= ?
•Weight training of= fers health and fitness benefits to adults.
•Weight training re= duces the risk of cardiovascular disease, improves mobility, and helps maximize a= nd maintain bone mass.
How Does Cardiorespiratory Training Benefit the Heart?
•Cardiorespiratory endurance training enhances the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the muscles.
•The heart becomes stronger, breathing becomes more efficient, and the health of the entire bo= dy improves.
How Does Cardiorespiratory Training Benefit the Heart?
•The accepted measu= re of a person's cardiorespiratory fitness is m= aximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max).
•As the heart muscle becomes stronger, its cardiac output increases.
•The heart's = stroke volume also increases, i.e. the heart pumps more blood per beat.
The Active Body's Use of Fuels=
•Physical activity = is supported by different mixtures of glucose, fatty acids, and to a small extent amino acids, depending on the intensity and duration = of its activities and depending on the body's prior training.
Glucose Use and Storage
•Glucose is supplie= d by dietary carbohydrate&n= bsp; or made by the liver.
•It is stored in bo= th liver and muscle tissue as glycogen.
•Total glycogen sto= res affect an athlete's endurance.
Activity Intensity, Glucose Use, and Glycogen St= ores
•Glycogen stores are limited to less than 2,000 calories of energy.
•Fat stores are theoretically unlimited and can provide more than 70,000 calories and fuel hours of activity.
Anaerobic Use of Glucose
•Intense activity u= ses glycogen quickly.
•Muscles must begin= to rely on glucose which (unlike fat) can be partially broken down by anaer= obic metabolism.
•Anaerobic breakdow= n of glucose yields energy to muscle tissue when energy demands outstrip the body's ability to provide energy aerobically, but it does so by spend= ing the muscle's glycogen reserves.
Anaerobic Use of Glucose
Aerobic Use of Glucose
•Aerobic activity:<= span style=3D'mso-tab-count:1'> =
–Moderate physical activit= y, such as easy jogging, uses glycogen slowly.
–The person breathes easil= y and heart beats faster than at rest, but steadily.
–Muscles get energy from b= oth glucose and fatty acids (this conserves glycogen stores).
•Lactate is produced by the anaerobic breakdown of glucose during intense activity.
–Lactate travels from musc= les to liver where it is converted back to glucose.
–When rate of lactate prod= uction exceeds the rate of clearance, intense activity can be maintained for only = one to three minutes.
Activity Duration Affects Glucose Use=
•Glucose use during physical activity depends on the duration of the activity and= its intensity.
–First 10 minutes – glycogen used by muscles
–First 20 minutes of moder= ate activity – about 1/5 of available glycogen used up
–A person who exercises for longer than 20 minutes begins to use less glucose and more fat for fuel
–Glycogen depletion occurs= after ~2 hours of vigorous exercise.
–After that, vigorous acti= vity can continue for a short time as the liver converts lactate and some amino acids into glucose.
–Finally, hypoglycemia occ= urs which brings the nervous system almost to a halt, making intensive activity impossible.
–This is what marathon run= ners call "hitting the wall."
Maintaining Blood Glucose for Activity
•4 strategies can h= elp to maintain blood glucose to support sports performance
–Eat a high-carbohydrate d= iet (~70% of energy)
–Take glucose (usually in = sports drinks) during activity
–Eat carbohydrate-rich foo= ds after performance
–Train the muscles to maxi= mize glycogen stores
Those who compete in endurance activities require flui= d and carbohydrate fuel
Glucose during Activity
•Glucose ingested b= efore and during endurance or intense intermittent activities (lasting more than = 45 minutes) makes its way to the working muscles and adds to the glycogen stor= es.
•For activities les= s than 45 minutes, glucose probably won't help (or harm) performance.
Carbohydrate Loading
•Carbohydrate lo= ading is a technique to maximize muscle glycogen before a competition
–Can nearly double the mus= cle glycogen concentrations
–Can benefit an athlete who keeps going 90 minutes or longer
Carbohydrate Loading
Glucose after Activity
•Eating high-carboh= ydrate foods within 2 hours after physical activity also enlarges glycogen stores.
–Orange juice
–Sports drinks
Degree of Training Affects Glycogen Use
•Highly trained mus= cles use less glucose and more fat than do untrained muscles to perform the same work, so their glycogen lasts longer.
To Burn More Fat during Activity, Should Athlete= s Eat More Fat?
•Athletes who eat high-fat diets may burn more fat during endurance activity, but the risks to health outweigh any possible performance benefit= s.
•The intensity and duration of activity, as well as the degree of training, affect fat use.
•"Spot Reducing" does not work; muscles do not own the fat that surrounds th= em.
•Fat cells release = fatty acids into the blood for all the muscles to share.
–A tennis player has same = fatfold measurement in both arms but one may have better-developed muscles than the other.
Using Protein and Amino Acids to Build Muscles a= nd Fuel Activity
•The body handles p= rotein differently during activity than during rest.
Protein for Building Muscle Tissue= p>
•In the hours after physical activity, muscles speed up the rate of protein synthesis.
•Physical activity,= with a slight overload, calls into action protein-dismantling and protein-synthe= sis in individual muscle cells.
Protein for Building Muscle Tissue= p>
•Physical activity = itself triggers the building of muscle proteins
Protein for Fuel
•Proteins contributes about 10 percent of the total fuel used, both during activity and rest.
•Athletes use a lit= tle more protein as fuel than non athletes.
Diet Affects Protein Use during Activity=
•A carbohydrate-ric= h diet spares protein from being used as a fuel.
•Some amino acids w= ill be converted to glucose if your diet is low in carbohydrates.
Intensity and Duration Affect Protein Use
•Endurance athletes who train for over an hour a day, engaging in aerobic activity of moderate intensity and long duration, may deplete their glycogen stores by the end of their training and become more dependent on b= ody protein for energy.
•Anaerobic strength training does not use more protein for energy but does need more protein to build muscle.
Intensity and Duration Affect Protein Use
•The protein needs = of both endurance and strength athletes are higher than those of sedentary peo= ple, but not as high as the protein intakes many athletes consume.
Degree of Training Affects Protein Use
•The extent of trai= ning affects the use of protein.
•In strength athlet= es the higher the degree of training, the less protein a person uses during activi= ty at a given intensity.
How Much Protein Should an Athlete Consume? =
Vitamins and Minerals – Keys to Performance
•Many vitamins and minerals assist in releasing energy from fuels and transporting oxygen.
Do Nutrient Supplements Benefit Athletic Perform= ance?
•Nutrient supplemen= ts do not enhance the performance of well-nourished athletes or active people.
•Active people eat = more food; if they choose correctly, they will get more nutrients.
Nutrients of Special Concern<= /p>
•Active people who = eat well-balanced meals do not need vitamin or mineral supplements.
–Vitamin E and iron will be discussed because many athletes take supplements and iron is special to fem= ale athletes.
Vitamin E
•During prolonged, high-intensity activity, the muscle's consumption of oxygen increases tenfold or more, enhancing the production of free radicals.
•Vitamin E is an antioxidant and some athletes take megadoses of vitamin E to prevent oxidative damage to muscles.
•There is little ev= idence that vitamin E supplements can improve performance.
Iron and Performance

Mesa Adds Vertex Program ExtensionDecember 14th, 2001 by michael
Brian Paul, all around swell guy and Mesa project administrator, announced to the Mesa3D-dev list that NVIDIA has given him permission to produce a software-only implementation of the NVIDIA GL_NV_vertex_program extension.
The work has been in-progress for the last couple of months and is now able to execute simple vertex programs. NVIDIA licensed the right with a fairly informal "we are not liable, it must be correct, it must be executed in software" agreement. Brian mentioned in a later message that a later extension may allow hardware implementations.

France's Interior Minister, Manuel Valls leaves his Ministry with President of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (CRIF) Richard Prasquier (R) and Jewish central Consistory President Joel Mergui (2ndL) prior to a meeting with French President at the Elysee Palace in Paris on October 7, 2012. AFP PHOTO FRED DUFOUR
PARIS: France's interior minister on Monday predicted more arrests of Islamic extremists and warned of possibly hundreds of home-grown militants at large following a crackdown that sent shockwaves through the country's Jewish community.
Manuel Valls issued his warning in the wake of a nationwide sweep at the weekend which left one man dead and 12 others in detention on suspicion of either being involved in the bombing of a Jewish grocery last month or of planning other anti-Semitic attacks.
"We know that there are dozens, even hundreds of individuals who are capable of organising themselves like the group that has just been dismantled," Valls said.
Richard Prasquier, the head of the CRIF, the main representative body for French Jews, said Monday that Islamic radicalism was akin to Nazism and warned that society had not yet realised "the scale of the evil" it faces.
Le Monde newspaper agreed.
"French Islam is not lacking in major voices to fight anti-Jewish racism," it said in a front-page editorial. "They do it regularly, almost ritually. But the whole country needs to become aware of the problem. This issue concerns us all."
Police on Saturday shot dead the suspected leader of the group, Jeremie Louis-Sidney, 33, after he opened fire on officers seeking to arrest him in a dawn raid at his home in Strasbourg, eastern France.
Police said traces of Louis-Sidney's DNA had been found on the pin of a grenade thrown into a kosher grocery in the Paris suburbs on September 19.
Subsequent police raids on addresses in the Paris region and in the Riviera resort of Cannes resulted in 12 suspects being detained and a total of 27,000 euros ($35,000) in cash being seized along with arms, radical Islamic literature, computer files and a list of Jewish organisations.
The raids sparked alarm within the Jewish community, which has registered a steady rise in the number of anti-Semitic incidents, both before and since Islamist Mohamed Merah's March killing of rabbi Jonathan Sandler, his two children and one of their schoolmates in Toulouse in March.
Merah also killed three French paratroopers before dying himself in a police siege.
It has since become clear that he had been on the radar of France's internal security services for years and that authorities fatally under-estimated the extent of his radicalisation following trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan and the threat he posed as a result.
French President Francois Hollande has ordered tightened security around synagogues and other possible targets in the wake of the weekend's developments.
Investigators probing Louis-Sydney's group are trying to establish if they had more attacks in the pipeline. Testaments found at his flat have indicated he was planning to die a martyr.
Nearly all those detained are under 30, born and brought up in France and several of them, including their suspected leader, are thought to have converted to Islam as adults.
Louis-Sidney is believed to have converted and been radicalised during a prison term for drug dealing.
Valls said indoctrination in prison and the distribution of Islamist propaganda via the Internet and satellite television had all contributed to the threat posed by what he termed "internal terrorism".
Predicting further arrests, the minister said he thought there could be several groups operating in France but acknowledged that dismantling them before they could do any harm was not easy.
"They are very mobile individuals who feel they are under surveillance and who make little use of mobile phones," he said.
Police sources have said that several of the detained suspects were armed at the time of their arrests, including one in the Paris suburb of Torcy who was picked up on his way back from morning prayers.
Documents found in his flat indicated he considered himself a jihadi and had extreme anti-Semitic views.

Directors' & Officers' Liability Coverage
The ASAE-endorsed Association Directors' & Officers' Liability Coverage delivers these customized coverages at competitive rates. The program is truly priced to save you money - our minimum premium is typically 1/2 the price of the competition!
Please note that this Association Directors' & Officers' (D&O) Liability coverage is tailored to help meet the needs of trade and professional associations. The program offers D&O coverage meant to help protect the assets of your association as well as those of your board members from frivolous lawsuits. Learn more about why nonprofits need Directors' & Officers' Liability coverage.
Learn about the Volunteer Protection Act and why you still need Directors' & Officers' Liability Insurance.
Spousal Extension
Expands traditional Estates and Legal Representatives coverage to include coverage for a lawful spouse under certain conditions.
$100,000 Fiduciary Liability (ERISA) Sublimit Coverage Extension
Most of our competitor's D&O policies exclude this coverage. The ASAE program provides it automatically and free of charge. We encourage all associations to consider purchasing a stand alone Fiduciary Liability (ERISA) policy as well. (This feature is not available for New York insureds.)
Entity Coverage
D&O-related lawsuits nearly always name the association itself as a defendant. There are D&O policies that do not provide coverage for liability incurred by the organization. The ASAE program makes sure your association is covered.
Duty-to-Defend Coverage
A duty-to-defend policy requires The Harford to front CLAIMS EXPENSES in the event of a CLAIM - even if the allegations are groundless or false - rather than reimbursing after the CLAIM is closed. The Hartford is also required to assign experienced, defense counsel.
Defense Outside the Limit of Liability
This important feature prevents defense costs from eroding the limit of liability. This feature is available but subject to underwriter approval.
Note that if your association's annual revenues are less than $1,000,000 this coverage extension will automatically be added by endorsement at no additional premium. Those applicants with annual revenues greater than $1,000,000 can purchase this option, subject to underwriting approval, for an additional premium equal to 10% of the annual D&O premium.
Outside Directorship Coverage
This automatic extension provides coverage for Insureds serving on other nonprofit boards as part of their duties.
Antitrust Allegation Protection
Antitrust related allegations are included in the definition of a wrongful act.
Learn more
Standard Setting (Certification/ Accreditation) Coverage
This is another unique exposure that associations face. We propose to address it in the following manner:
- If it is determined during the application process that an association is not engaged in a standard setting activity, we will issue the policy as silent on the matter.
- If during the application process it is determined that the given Association is heavily engaged in standard setting activities an exclusion would be attached to the D&O policy and the Association would be strongly advised to purchase a stand alone, Standard Setting, Errors and Omissions (E&O) Policy.
If during the application process it is determined that the given Association is heavily engaged in standard setting activities an exclusion would be attached to the D&O policy and the Association would be strongly advised to purchase a stand alone, Standard Setting, Errors and Omissions (E&O) Policy.
Chapter Coverage
In addition to providing D&O coverage to your association headquarters, we can provide D&O coverage to all of your association's chapters. Within our program, chapters have their own individual policies with broad D&O protection for a competitive premium.
Additional coverage features include:
- Directors, Officers, all Employees, Volunteers, Trustees and Committee Members are covered
- Personal injury and publisher's liability protects against suits claiming damages for libel, slander, copyright or trademark infringements
- Coverage for most nonprofit subsidiaries is automatically included
- Coverage for claims alleging the mismanagement of the association's funds or assets is specified
- Coverage for Employment-related claims (i.e. discrimination, wrongful dismissal, sexual harassment, EEOC proceedings...)
Or, if you prefer, you can download the application.

In music, Adagio means "slowly", and in ballet it means slow, unfolding movements.
In a classical ballet class, the Adagio portion of the lesson concentrates on slow movements to improve the dancer's ability to control the leg and increase extension (i.e., to bring the leg into high positions with control and ease).
In a Grand Pas (or Classical Pas de deux; Grand Pas d'action; etc.), the Adagio is usually referred to as the Grand adage, and often follows the Entrée. This Adage is typically the outward movement of the Grand Pas where the Ballerina is partnered by the lead male Danseur and/or one or more suitors.
In ballet, the word adagio does not refer to the music accompanying the dance but rather the type of balletic movement being performed. For example, the Grand adage of the famous Black Swan Pas de deux from Swan Lake is musically an Andante, while the choreography is Adagio.
(aa rah besk) Literally, "in Arabic fashion." The position of the body supported on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body with the knee straight. The back leg may either touch the floor in tendu back (called arabesque par terre), or be raised at an angle. Common angles are 45° (also called à demi hauteur), and 90° (à la hauteur). When the angle is much greater than 90° and the body leans forward to counterbalance the back leg, the pose is called arabesque penchée. There are also various arm and leg combinations, such as forward on the same side as the back leg or the other arm forward.
A position in which the dancer stands on one leg (known as the supporting leg) while the other leg (working leg) is lifted and well turned out with the knee bent at approximately 120-degree angle. The lifted or working leg can be behind (derrière), in front (devant), or on the side (à la seconde) of the body. If the leg in attitude derrière is resting on the floor, then the pose is known as B-plus. It is important to note that when executing an attitude position devant or derrière, the knee should be in line with the ankle, as if the whole leg would be resting on a surface. The attitude position can be performed with the supporting leg and foot either en pointe, demi pointe or on a flat foot. See also: Arabesque.
Ballon means to bounce, where the dancer can show the lightness of the movement. It describes a quality, not the elevation or height, of the jump. Even in small, quick jumps (petite allégro), dancers strive to exhibit ballon.
It is a kicking movement of the working leg (i.e. the leg that is performing a technique). Battements are usually executed in front (en avant or à la quatrieme devant), to the side (à la seconde) or back (en arrière or à la quatrieme derrière).
Also called beats in the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus.
In ballet, a coda is typically the ending, or "finale", of a suite of dances known as the Grand Pas or Grand Pas d'action, and brings the suite to a close. A coda also serves the same function in a Classical Pas de deux, etc.
A coda can take many forms. For a large or complex Pas d'action or Grand Pas, the coda is usually given the title Grand coda. If a large group of dancers are in involved, it is usually titled Coda générale. The coda may serve also as the final number of a particular scene, in which case it is usually given the title Grand coda générale.
In ballet there are many famous coda. One in particular is for the Black Swan Pas de deux from Swan Lake, in which the Ballerina performs the famous 32 fouettés en tournant. Another celebrated coda is from the Le Corsaire Pas de Deux.
Croisé is used in the third, fourth and fifth positions of the legs. The dancer is in croisé if the front leg is the right leg, and the dancer is facing the front-left corner of the stage; or if the front leg is the left, and the dancer is facing the front-right corner, then the dancer is in croisé. In croisé position the dancer should be aligned so that the audience can see both his/her shoulders and hips.
See Relevé.
It is also considered an inside movement: in a pirouette en dedans the dancer spins towards the side of the supporting leg.
The opposite is en dehors.
It is also considered an outside movement: in a pirouette en dehors the dancer spins towards the side of the working leg (the leg raised in passé). En dedans is the opposite.
For example: in an entrechat-quatre starting from fifth position, right foot front, the dancer will jump crossing his/her legs and beating first the right heel on the back of the left heel, then at the front of the left heel, landing in the same position he/she started.
(fweh-tay ron de jon on torhn non) A turn made by using a fouetté. For each turn the dancer stands momentarily on flat foot and in plié, as the working leg is extended in fourth position en l'air (or à la hauteur) front then whipped around to the side as the working foot is pulled in to touch behind the supporting knee. That creates the impetus to spin one turn as the dancer executes a relevé, rising onto pointe. Done properly, the dancer remains in place. The famous 32 continuous fouettés in the coda of the "Black Swan" Pas de Deux from Swan Lake are a bravura performance designed to express the strength and triumph of the character.
In the Vaganova method, the leg is extended à la seconde instead of fourth position front.
If the Grand pas does contribute to the ballet's story, then it is known as a Grand Pas d'action.
When a Grand Pas is referred to as a Grand pas classique, it simply means that classical technique prevails and no character dances are included.
A Grand pas usually consists of the Entreé, the Grand adage, occasionally a dance for the corps de ballet (often referred to as the Ballabile), optional variations for the demi-soloists, variations for the lead Ballerina and/or Danseur, and a final coda (sometimes referred to as a Coda générale or Grand coda) which serves to bring the whole piece to a grand conclusion.
One famous Grand Pas was created by Marius Petipa in 1881 for his revival of Joseph Mazilier's ballet Paquita. This is known today as the Paquita Grand Pas Classique, and is danced by many companies throughout the world.
A rather elaborate Grand Pas is taken from the 1862 Petipa/Pugni ballet The Pharaoh's Daughter, which was revived in 2000 after decades of being absent from the stage. The dances are presented in Petipa's original order: Entrée, Variations for 3 demi-soloists, Grand adage, Waltz for the corps de ballet, variations for the three lead soloists, and the final Coda générale.
There are many famous Grand Pas d'action as well, one being from the first act of the 1890 Petipa/Tchaikovsky ballet The Sleeping Beauty. This consists of the famous Grand adage known as the Rose Adagio, a Dance for the Maids of Honor and Pages, the Variation of the Princess Aurora, and the Coda, which is interrupted by the evil fairy Carabosse who gives the Princess Aurora the poisoned spindle. In the context of the full-length ballet, this particular Grand Pas d'action helps contribute to the action, with the Princess Aurora choosing between her four prospective princes and receiving a rose from each.
Many Grand Pas and Grand Pas d'action are often extracted from full-length works and performed independently.
Differing forms of a Grand pas —
(grahn jeh TAY) A long horizontal jump, starting from one leg and landing on the other. It is most often done forward and usually involves doing full leg splits in mid-air. The front leg brushes straight into the air, as opposed to performing a dévelopé or "unfolding" motion. The back leg follows making the splits in the air. Also called grand écart en l'air, and referred to in some schools as Saut de chat, or Grand Pas de Chat. It can be performed en avant (forward), à la seconde (to the side) and en arrière (backward).
For a male dancer, partnering includes lifting, catching, and carrying a partner, also assisting with leaps, promenades and supported pirouettes. For a female dancer, partnering means helping with that help.
The dancer starts in fifth position croisé and executes a plié while brushing the front leg out to tendu front. The front leg does a demi rond de jambe to the opposite corner in the back while the dancer turns to face the other front corner. The weight is quickly transferred onto the working leg (the one that was front). The dancer brushes the supporting leg through first position and then executes a chassé forward onto the supporting leg and closes in croisé.
As a movement passé refers to the working foot passing close to the knee of the standing leg. When the foot arrives by the knee, it passes from the front to the back or back to front, and continues either to return to the floor by sliding down the supporting leg or into an arabesque or attitude etc.
See Retiré.
Also a movement in which the dancer transfers a stance from one leg in plié to the other leg by stepping out directly onto pointe or demi-pointe with a straight leg; for example, a piqué arabesque.
(pii roh ett) A controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in plié, rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women). The other leg can be held in retiré position, or in attitude, arabesque level or second position. The pirouette can return to starting position, or finish in arabesque or attitude positions, or proceed otherwise. A pirouette can be en dehors turning outwards, or en dedans turning inwards. Most, and the one we think of as typical, are done en dehors. While ballet pirouettes are performed with the hips and legs rotated outward ("turned out"), it is common to see them done with an inward rotation ("parallel") for other genres of dance, such as jazz and modern.
A correct turning technique involves the execution of a periodic whipping movement of the head, so that the dancer keeps his/her gaze on a single spot; this technique is known as "spotting". This is particularly relevant in the traveling turns, such as tours chaînés or piqués, because it helps the dancer to keep the correct direction of movement.
Pirouettes can be done with a single, a double, a triple rotation, or more. The current record for most pirouttes performed at one time equals 36 rotations, done in tap shoes.
This can be grande-plié, a bend to the deepest position where the heels lift off of the floor. For demi-plié the dancer bends knees until just below the hips, while maintaining classical turn-out at the hip joints, allowing the thighs and knees to be directly above the line of the toes and the heels to stay on the floor.
Performing steps while on the tips of the toes.
Example: See Video
There are two basic positions for the arms. In one, the dancer keeps the fingers of both arms almost touching to form an oval shape, either almost touching the hips, or at navel level, or raised above the dancer's head. In the other, the arms are extended to the sides with the elbows slightly bent. These positions may be combined to give other positions.
Names differ according to the school/method followed, such as Vaganova, French, Cecchetti, etc., so that a third Russian position is the equivalent to a Cecchetti fifth position en haut.
The basic five positions of the feet on the floor were set down by the dancing master Pierre Beauchamp in the late 17th century. Two more positions were introduced by Mr. Serge Lifar during his career as Ballet Master at the Paris Opéra Ballet (1929–45, 1947–58); their use nowadays is mostly limited to Lifar's choreographies.
The dancer stands with feet well rotated in "turn-out" and touching heel to heel, making as nearly a straight alignment as possible. The knees are also touching with legs straightened. Proper turn-out requires flexibility at the hips and correct posture, and is a fundamental characteristic of classical ballet. In beginners' classes, most exercises at the barre start from first position.
The dancer stands with feet turned out along a straight line as in first position, but with the heels about one foot apart. The term seconde generally means to or at the side.
The dancer's feet are aligned to the turn-out of first position, but with one foot to the front and the heel of the front foot close to the arch of the back foot. There are two third positions, depending on which foot is in front. In beginners' classes it is a transition position in the progress to fifth position, or when a dancer is physically incapable of a perfect fifth position (especially in adult beginners' classes).
(no photo)
Fifth position, but with feet about a foot apart to the front. If the heel of the front foot is in line with the heel of the back foot, that is called "open" fourth. There are two main fourth positions, depending on which foot is in front.
The dancer stands with feet turned out as in first position, but the heel of one foot is placed close to the toe of the other foot, so that the legs are crossed more than third position. There are two fifth positions, depending on which foot is in front.
Although not used much, there is a sixth position for normally parallel feet. For example, in pas couru sur les pointes en avant or en arrière, the feet are in sixth position. This position was codified by Serge Lifar.
The dancer's feet are in fourth position en point with heels in line, according to Serge Lifar. There are two seventh positions, depending on which foot is in front.
See Elevé.
In the Cecchetti method the term also means a spring from the fifth position, raising one foot sur le cou-de-pied. In the Russian and French schools this is known as sissonne simple.
A term of the Russian school, meaning 'time raised jumped'. It can be done in first, second, third, fourth or fifth position. The dancer, after a demi-plié, jumps in the air and then lands with the feet in the same position as they started. It can also be performed from one foot, while the other keeps the same position it had before starting the jump (e.g. on cou-de-pied).
It is also possible not to perform the coupé at the beginning of the movement, but rather reach the fourth position front directly from fifth position with a little 'sliding' hop.
A rotation of the leg from the hips, causing the knee and foot to also turn outward. Properly done, the ankles remain erect and the foot arch remains curved and supporting.
Turn-out technique is a defining characteristic of Classical Ballet. Not all dancers do have a perfect turn-out; but it is definitely a measure for selection. In beginner classes, a less-than-perfect turn-out is tolerated to save stress to knee joints until the ability is acquired.

That sucks. Only reason I'm trying it out now is because I want to see if I could drop AT&T and my grandfathered unlimited plan. As of right now $30/month is looking a lot better than $160/month.

Shoud I replace my diode board?
I am sure this has been asked before; I just couldn't find the answer that fits my situation. After setting up a 1982 R100RS that had been is storage for 8 or 9 years the job is complete and looks good and I am happy at the outcome. I have also asked some of this before. I have fitted a new battery, had the started serviced and new solenoid fitted, replace the relay, checked the float level etc. All is good. In the mornings I struggle to start the bike it is almost as if there is too much compression yet if I crank it a couple of times it as if the battery gets flat. I then put it on charge and go to work. When I am back from work its warmer ever so slightly then it starts. Once it starts its fine and will start again and again that afternoon and evening with prolonged brakes in-between. Once it starts it runs great so there are no issues with the float level or the fuel settings and tuning.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
The generator light comes on when the ignition is turned on and once started goes out as it should and shows no sign that it is not charging. I do believe there is no short anywhere that will cause the battery to lose charge. <o:p></o:p>
I am not to clued-up with electrical things but I did read somewhere that there might be a damaged diode that when the ignition is turned off the battery leaks back through the diode board creating a loss of battery power or charge. That is what I understand from the reading.<o:p></o:p>
My thoughts are that this could be the situation, that the bike struggles to start and that the diode board needs replacing. There must be some simple tests to check the diodes but I think I will struggle with understanding the process and measurements.<o:p></o:p>
This is the million dollar question: Will a bad or defective diode board create a situation that makes the bike difficult to start and having to top up the battery constantly? <o:p></o:p>
I have just managed to start the bike and checked the volt metre its showing about 13 volts at about 2000 rpm, if I rev it a bit it goes a bit over that.<o:p></o:p>
One other thing it sometimes starts with the choke 1/2 on and other time with the choke off. When I use the choke it is as if it struggles even more. I have made sure the choke start valve is in the right way round.<o:p></o:p>
Any thought welcome. <o:p></o:p>
1/2 choke works to start then use 1/2 choke. My 74 r75/6 starts at 1/2 choke.
Also test battery / for leak down by disconnecting battery at night reconnect in the morning see if it starts.
How old is the battery?? There is a way to test diode board.
Don't throw money at it fix it!!!
I'd second that suggestion - disconnect the negative battery lead (at the negative terminal) once it's parked at night. See how it does in the morning.
There are basically two sides to this equation - the battery and the starter - although the wiring and connections add a third. It's gotta be one of those three.
When the engine is cold it presents the heaviest load to the starter and battery. If connections and cables are good, then it's one of the two. Since the battery has been replaced, I'd check out the starter or the main battery positive lead. The starter grounds through its base and mounting bolts, so if it's loose and oily, there won't be much electricity flowing.
At this point I'd say it's either the starter or the connections. Especially if it still has the hard start symptoms tomorrow morning after disconnecting the negative lead tonight.
Just because the battery s new does not mean that it is good. I've seen new batteries that didn't work. Have it load-tested to verify its condition. Have you considered trying to jump the battery from that of a car?
Yes in the begining there was no difference! I have not tried that lately. Must say that when I have run the battery down a bit and I charge it, the charge picks up quickly back to fully charged.
Are the float bowl gaskets in good condition? If the holes are very compressed, damaged or too rounded then they can let too much air into the "choke" aux starter system, making it too lean and difficult to start.
If you get lucky, you may avoid lots of time and money via a quick inspection or change 'em if they're old anyhow.
Do NOT run the bike for more than a couple of minutes WITHOUT a LARGE BOX FAN blowing on the engine.
Do NOT remove the front engine cover WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING THE GROUND CABLE.
Do NOT STRIP OUT THE SPECIAL HOLLOW BOLT AT THE TRANSMISSION, GROUNDING THE BATTERY!
Good Luck!
What did 'starter serviced' consist of?
Were the bushes replaced? The bushes are the bearings that the stater shaft runs in, if they are worn then the starter will run very slowly under load, especially when the bike is cold.
The easy solution is a new Valeo starter from euromotoelectrics, and if you are really cheap then the generic Valeo copy from the same source.
I don't think that your stater problems have anything to do with your diode board
Also make sure that you choke cables are properly adjusted so the choke works properly.
What you describe might be an electrical problem but could easily be mechanical - cold start problems can often be traced back to mechanical and carb set-up. It's always a good idea to eliminate the obvious things before going for the more difficult. May I suggest doing a thorough service before replacing the diode board.
Start by changing the oil
Then check in roughly this order:
All that is good maintenance anyway and won't be wasted effort even if it doesn't fix your problem.
If none of that works then several others have suggested electrical and other things to check. Don't forget that you can check the diodes with just a multimeter (if you search youtube you'll find plenty of videos showing how to do it). Replacing a faulty diode on the board can be done for about $2-$5 (again search youtube for how to do it). That's a lot cheaper than buying a new diode board. Diodes that are fried will often look fried, have you inspected the diode board?
Good luck and have fun.

The Starkville Planning and Zoning Commission will review a draft of a streamlined chart of permitted and conditional land uses at its meeting Tuesday at City Hall.
City Planner Ben Griffith said while the formal ordinance change to approve this draft will likely happen in November, the draft will still help Placemakers, LLC create form-based codes to guide future development in conjunction with the city's zoning rules.
Typically, the city's planning and zoning commission sets rules for how property can be used in certain areas, including commercial, industrial and residential use. Form-based codes set more focused architectural guidelines in certain areas to encourage certain types of land use, allowing developers to build better projects with fewer administrative steps.
Griffith said Placemakers prepared the first draft of its form-based codes without consulting the city's current land-use chart, resulting in inconsistencies between the code draft and the chart. This inconsistency brought the need to update the land use chart to the commission's attention, Griffith said, because much of the current chart dates back about 40 years.
"That's why the form-based codes have been on the back burner, because we've been working on the land use chart," Griffith said. "This is just a draft to get some feedback from the planning and zoning commission. If we're on the right track, we can go ahead and send that to the form-based codes planners."
Griffith said several of the land uses listed on the current chart have been consolidated in the new draft.
"What we came up with is on an 11-by-17 sheet of paper, going from 11 pages down to two," Griffith said. "We'll probably do a public hearing next month on the land use chart, because that's going to require an ordinance change."
Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman said the form-based codes will benefit Starkville by allowing greater flexibility for innovative development at small sites in downtown Starkville, the densest part of the city. Once the new land use chart is approved, Wiseman said, the city will be in a good position to evaluate and adopt Placemakers' form-based codes.
"It should move along pretty quickly from here," Wiseman said. "Most of Placemakers' work is done. Now they're in the process of working with our staff to make sure their suggested code is in harmony with our existing code and regulations."
If the land use chart gets approved in November, Wiseman said, the form-based codes could be approved in December.
"Anytime you're dealing with processes and board deliberation, it's hard to put an absolute timeline on it," Wiseman said, "but it could happen as early as December."
The commission will also consider recommending the Starkville Board of Aldermen approve a final plat for approval for the South Wedgewood Part II subdivision, located at the northeastern corner of South Montgomery Street and South Wedgewood Road.
Finally, the commission will consider recommending approval of a zoning change from R-1 (single family) to R-6 (mobile homes) at 1641 Rockhill Road as requested by Louise Page. The commission's staff report says Page wants to place a single mobile home on her Rockhill Road property, but the current R-1 zoning does not allow for mobile homes.
The commission's staff report says only one person has contacted the city with concerns about the rezoning, concerns pertaining to utility access to the mobile home and whether or not Page intends to create a mobile home park on the property. Griffith said this re-zoning is unlikely to create the same kind of controversy as Michael Kraker's application for an R-1-to-PUD (planned unit development) zoning change for a pocket neighborhood along the recently extended East Garrard Road.
Both the commission and board of aldermen have approved Kraker's request, with Ward 6 Alderman Roy A. Perkins and Ward 7 Alderman Henry N. Vaughn voting against it at the city level. Kraker's plan still has variance issues with street width, sidewalks and density, which will be discussed at the Starkville Board of Adjustments and Appeals' next meeting on Oct. 26 at 4 p.m.

I messed up badly. I hurt my kids and, worse, I silenced them when they tried to tell me about it.

[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughters by the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.] by DaisyI was only 19 when I arrived at Christianity's door, bruised and highly impressionable and, because of my family situation, determined to do a better job of sorting out my life than my parents had done. Victims of abuse in their own homes, my parents had learned very early to dissociate from their emotions. Our home was an emotionally sterile one and, although I know now that this is not true, as as child I believed my parents did not love me.

Reflections on what went wrong
by Jo @ Woman ReclaimedWe're rapidly approaching the anniversary of when I lost my life as I knew it. I'm finally to a point where I feel strong enough to boldly face where we went, what went wrong and what we messed up so very badly. We fell down the rabbit hole of Patriarchal matrimony. We didn't necessarily mean to do so. Certainly, we never thought we were down so far as we truly were. We thought we didn't fully believe in wife-only submission. We thought we never believed that the wife's salvation is based upon the Husband's favor.

Men are right.
Drs. Patricia Love and Steven Stosny have studied the all-too-familiar dynamic between men and women and have reached a truly shocking conclusion. Even with the best of intentions, talking about your relationship doesn't bring you together, and it will eventually drive you apart.
The reason for this is that underneath most couples' fights, there is a biological difference at work. A woman's vulnerability to fear and anxiety makes her draw closer, while a man's subtle sensitivity to shame makes him pull away in response. This is why so many married couples fall into the archetypal roles of nagging wife/stonewalling husband, and why improving a marriage can't happen through words.
How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It teaches couples how to get closer in ways that don't require "trying to turn a man into a woman". Rich in stories of couples who have turned their marriages around, and full of practical advice about the behaviors that make and break marriages, this essential guide will help couples find love beyond words.

"Inspirational... a practical guide for men and women to overcome their challenges and come together outside and inside the bedroom." (John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus)
"Male - Female interactions make so much more sense"
I have listened to this more than once and get new insights each time. It has helped me understand what is going on so much better in relationships and given me some tools to improve them...and they do help!
"Everyone Should Read This Book"
I have listened to this book many times to understand the details. Read this book if you want to understand why you don't get along with your spouse, child, or parents. Everyone needs this information. It should be taught in school.
It has improved my relationship with my wife - Without talking about it.
I whole heartily recommend this book!
"most effective relationship help ever"
already am on #2 and plan to refer back when needed
Without talking or fighting about it and finally some insight on why the same approach doesn't work for both men and women.
Very well read with tactful emphasis.
It will be my relationship bible and hopefully "ours".
No other book or advice or even counsel has been this helpful.
"Profoundly Accurate and Explanatory"
Yes! Because they present with so much experience and background as marriage counselors. Also because it explains accurately how men and women generally relate and where our "miss" has been. A true code cracker book.
All the precursor and educational foundation of the book that prepared us to hear..."Just jump into the puddle" was the most intense relief. But the most memorable moment was in the beginning of the book when she lists so much information about how the genders generally relate to others and how we are socially locked in and reinforced to communicate in these certain ways. It was heartbreaking and disarming to see my husband and all men with such clarity. First this book breaks the spell of resentment with facts and experience and accurate emotional tones when a marriage has gone so far off course then it breaks the cycle of isolation and shame, gives us insight into how the cycle is so pervasive and self perpetuating...and then gives us solutions we are relieved to know and are ready for. I felt heard, seen and expressed though their words and exposed to my husband's inner world like never before...Disarmed is the word. Thank you.
She was so expressive. She brought these facts to life. If I had to read all those facts to my husband or just by myself, it wouldn't have come across so neutrally. I would've gotten bored, lost, angry at having to process so much linear information when he and I were in such an emotionally dark and twisted place. And the way she brought emotion to the sections....gave examples as if she were really talking to us...brought the information in more completely, convincingly...as if we were with a guidance counselor, not left up to our own tones, emphasis and innuendo. We were fed the information and given tasks to do along the way. We needed that. We NEEDED that. Thank you!
My extreme reaction was the feeling of being seen.....and how disarmed I was by the general ways we are socialized....and how it's not ok to live and die by "women do it better" motto when it comes to "communication". The compassion that I had access to made me feel humbled and grateful. It also made me angry after awhile because I got tired of hearing how high maintenance he is...and the irony is that he called me high maintenance....and we got to realize together that we are both this way in our own way. So simple yet SO hard to get to if you don't know the natural tendency generally of the genders...and after 17 years of marriage and misunderstanding. God, I wish we had found this book 10 years ago. wow.
A code cracker...and it must be done in audiobook!!! A must hear for anyone in relationship as I see it. My husband agrees, this book would not have been as powerful in hard copy. We were both too biased...we needed a neutral party in the mix.
"A must read"
This book is based on very simple concepts about human evolution that affect our daily lives in the modern marriage. The central premise is the fear-shame reflex that kicks off a primal defense mechanism that underlies troublesome interactions between couples. The challenge it discusses is how we can counter the evolutionary developments of our brain designed for surviving pre-historic life but not at all suited for the modern relationship. It provides data, results of research and many true and instructive examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their relationship.
"Great info."
Excellent insights... I don't know why but it bugs me when a book written by a man is read by a woman. Other than that, it was a great book.
"Pretty good"
Very informative. Lots of science behind why we do what we do. Narrators voice was a little annoying to me. At times she sounds as if she's talking to a preschool class. All in all, good sound advise and exercises.
"Will listen to again and again"
What a wonderful wealth of solid relationship guidelines. Love thus book. Agree with author in every step. A must have for every couple.
"I get it now."
I wish I would have had this book years ago. So much clicked for me!

AT least the Mainland Tanzania is rest assured that the CECAFA Kagame Cup will for the second-year running stay in the country as holders Young Africans and Azam FC face off in the final at the National Stadium on Saturday.
Yanga moved a step closer to retaining the crown after they beat Rwandan champions APR 1-0 in the closely fought second semi-final of the regional club championship at the National Stadium on Thursday, while Azam FC sent guest side AS Vita of DR Congo packing with a 2-1 victory.
Ugandan-born striker Hamis Kiiza scored the lone goal for Yanga in the 99th minute of extra time, cleverly finishing off Haruna Niyonzima's whipped delivery from the right in the 99th minute. Kiiza scored the lone goal of the game when defenders Donatien Tuyizere and Mbuyu Twite were left arguing with Yanga striker Said Bahanuz who had claimed to have been fouled on the left back as play continued.
Azam FC, meanwhile, reached the Kagame Cup final in their maiden year when they came from behind to beat 10-man AS Vita of DR Congo 2-1 in an entertaining semifinal match that kicked off at 2:00pm at the same venue. John Bocco scored his fourth goal of the tournament in 67th minute to cancel out Alfred M'Fongang 34th minute strike, but there was still time for substitute Mrisho Ngassa to score the winner a minute before the final whistle.
And, Saturday's match promises to be a cut throat. It will bring back bad memories when the two sides last clashed in the Mainland Premier League, in which fracas ensured and several Yanga players were given marching orders. In one of the most disturbing top flight incidents in recent years, Yanga players' instigated a brawl with a referee, which eventually led a violent attack on Israel Nkongo Mujuni, during the league match on March 10.
Yanga lost 3-1. Four players, defenders Stephano Mwasika, Nadir Haroub, midfielder Omega Seme and striker Jerryson Tegete, received a variety of bans from TFF League Committee for roughing up referee.
The reason for the violent attack emerged because Yanga players were upset by what they deemed to be harsh sending off of their key player Haruna Niyonzima for a second bookable offence midway through the first half.
The federation's Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committee later revoked the decision to ban the four players for what it was claimed that the League Committee had no mandate to ban the players. The rest is now history and in run up to today's final encounter, both Yanga and Azam FC coaches have predicted tough encounter.
Yanga head coach Tom Saintfiet has praised the resilience of his players who fought tooth and nail to edge out Rwandese champions APR in a gruelling semifinal battle. Saintfiet who is barely a month old in the club was full of praise of the playing squad whom he described as committed and had special mention for Hamisi Kiiza who scored the winner.
He ,however, rued the fact that most of his players are fatigued after a gruelling five matches in less than two weeks.
"I am more than happy to qualify for the finals though it was a tough match and APR gave us a torrid time but I am glad my players remained composed and dealt with all the pressure to inflict the last minute blow on APR. Many of my players like Kiiza, Bahanuzi and even Haruna are tired and I just hope they can recover well before the final which will be equally very difficult," Saintfiet said.
Azam FC coach Stewart Hall was equally adamant that his side has a chance of carting home with the regional trophy. Hall stressed the importance of containing the lethal duo of Hamisi Kiiza and Said Bahanuzi who have scored nine goals between them in the tourney. Azam's Ivorian import Kipre Tcheche recognizes the "beautiful opportunity" the match presents.
"We have to put pressure on our opponents and our aim is not to defend all the time. We won't do that against the Kagame Cup defending champions," said Kipre. A victory would ensure Yanga get the coveted trophy back to back for the first time in the tournament's history while for Azam a victory will be a milestone achievement for the team that was formed barely five years ago.
