Study Groups & Chapters
In 1968 Steve Reich wrote the essay, 'Music as a Gradual Process' in which he gave focus and definition to the idea of process in music. Reich wrote, 'the distinctive thing about musical processes is that they determine the note-to-note (sound-to-sound) details and the overall form simultaneously'. Of course, this description is not limited to music of the same style as Reich's early minimalist works: music to which this definition can be applied includes much contemporary music, experimental music, improvisation and improvisatory practices, 'early' (pre-tonal and mediaeval) musics, non-western music, and music which is understood through practice and practice-led approaches. The Music and/as Process study group represents scholars in all of these disciplines which, in many cases, are also music and areas of scholarship which are often not well represented within 'traditional' musicology.
The Music and/as Process study group aims to bring together academics and research students in the UK and further afield working on issues related to and arising from such a definition of process in music. Although the term 'process' might sometimes be understood very broadly, in particular the study group aims to address music in which processes are audible, perceptible, or otherwise concurrent with the music during its performance. Core areas of interest within this field are compositional issues, performance practice, and the musicology of process in music. The study group also has a key interest in practice-led research and seeks to present such work on an equal footing as traditional papers at each event.
The 2nd Annual conference of the Music and/as Process study group will take place in Canterbury Christ Church University: http://www.canterbury.ac.uk
The annual conference of the study group aims to bring together the current study group members, along with other scholars in the field of Music and/as Process to examine current research in the topic and set the agenda for the coming year. A further aim of the conference is to widen the breadth of discussion and participation in the Music and/as Process study group, as such papers addressing aspects of process that extend the understanding of the topic beyond contemporary music to historical and non-western musics are particularly welcomed.

About me, Ilse Daniëlle.
Ilse is my given name. Given by my parents. It is a German name, and I am not very unsatisfied with that. I like my name - it's quite unique, especially here in Norway. I once asked my mom what I would've been named as a girl if it wasn't for Ilse. She answered Daniëlle. That's when I decided to add that to my name. In the Netherlands it is quite difficult to get it added as an official second name - but here in Norway it's all quite a lot easier. I am planning on adding it right when I get married next year, as I also have to change my last name then, and then I can do it all together. I already changed my name on social media to get used to the idea.
Some things I like to do in life are reading books, making food, dancing, playing piano and working on my blog. I'm a high sensitive person (HSP) which simply means that I am more sensitive to things that are normal for others. Sometimes A Lot more sensitive. I get easily overstimulated by crowds, loud noises and stressful situations - and I react more heavily on food and emotions than non-sensitive people do. This explains why I can sometimes be extremely tired and moody. If you'd like, I could write a blogpost on this topic wherein I can explain more about it. Leave a request below.

Because our author seems to be missing. I'm just praying everything is ok!
So it's up to me to find something interesting while also educational to speak about. As it's been quite a rough week, this is harder than it sounds. Yet at the same time not. If I'm pulling from my experiences this past week, I suppose there are many topics I can breech ranging from Mania, to Depression, to Impending Meltdowns, to children who are too smart and manipulative for their own good. Unfortunately, I can't seem to come up with a way to tie them all into one.
UNLEESSSSS I point out the inevitable answer most likely the cause of it all.
No, not SAD as in depressed that my chocolate got stolen SAD, but instead SAD, as in Seasonal Affective Disorder. As I've mentioned before, (I think) Bipolar Disorder is the buy one get 5 free illness. No one I have ever met has JUST had BP. Neither do my son or I. Though our diagnosis are pretty much the same…
BP with a touch of anxiety. Served with a side of ADHD and for desert SAD! (PDog's even comes with an extra order of ODD, lucky dog!)
I have to say that one of my LEAST favorite diagnoses is SAD. Every year around this time my life finds some way to turn upside down. I can almost remember each year too.
1998 – First Year my family wasn't together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. SAD took over and upped the ante and I found myself locked in my bathroom refusing to eat Thanksgiving Dinner because I was too busy crying.
1999 – After reuniting with my HHS (High School Sweetheart) I became aware that all his friends (who were also my good friends and may or may not have had a thing for me…long story) hated me and I pretty much broke down. This was the year my mother decided it was time to get me help.
2000 – HSS who is now ex walks back into my life after a terrible parting of ways and throws my relationship with the husband for a roller coaster ride. He and I broke up about 5 times in the next 6 months after. It was a mess.
2001 – Just got married, baby had colic, marriage was a mess, I had postpartum, I sat in the bathroom with a bottle of sleeping pills…
2002 – Just had another baby, husband and I were separated, I became heavy drinker and a mess
2003 – 2006 Can't remember….but I'm good with that…
2007 – Lost house, lost friends, lost credit, was poor, drove myself to the PHospital. AWESOME year! (I'm pretty sure you can sense the sarcasm there)
2008 – Long story…won't get into that one, more mania, more depression, more lost friends.
2009 – PDog having TONS of problems in school, hate my new house, overwhelmed with life…sat in closet crying BUT…I pulled out of it after a trip to the doctor and some med adjustments. (YAY ME)
2010 – Sigh…over extended, overwhelmed, over eating, over stimulated, over spending, over anxious, over stressed, under prepared. BUT I'm holding it together somehow.
12 years of the same pattern. 12 years of falling apart every fall. 9 years completely not understanding what was going on. And 3 years doing my best to hold it together knowing that this too shall pass. (Though that's easier said than done) I do thank God every year though that I am now aware of the situation. I can now talk to my family and friends about it and ask for their help and support!
So how about you? Is there a certain time of year that triggers your mania and/or depression? Do you suffer from SAD?

Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired the 5th pick in Thursday's draft from the Washington Wizards:
The Washington Wizards have agreed in principle to acquire Minnesota Timberwolves guards Randy Foye(notes) and Mike Miller(notes) for Etan Thomas(notes), Oleksiy Pecherov(notes) and Darius Songaila and the fifth pick in Thursday's NBA draft, a league executive with knowledge of the deal told Yahoo! Sports.
I don't know either way though I'd question if the Wolves, after parting with two useful assets (Foye and Miller) to get one (#5), are really willing to do so again. If there's anything to this, I would think there would be other pieces involved in any deal.
This site has been too quiet the past couple of days as I've dealt with deadlines on non-Griz work and internet problems Beyond the Arc's home office. That behind me, I'll be slavishly devoted to this space through Thursday's draft.
Up next: A roundup from the past three days' workouts and a look at various recent Griz-related links.
Tomorrow: A report from the last pre-draft workout and an in-depth look at candidates for the #27 and #36 picks.
At some point before the draft: A team and Beyond the Arc draft boards for #2 (or reasonable trade-down possibilities.
UPDATE: Conflicting reports already on this. Sacramento Bee's Sam Amick twitters:
# New T-Wolves GM David Kahn promised to make a splash - http://bit.ly/18WlRj - and I'm told it's Rubio if Griz comply and give up # 2. If...39 minutes ago from TweetDeck
Rubio may be about to come off the board. Don't be shocked if Minn. packages 5 and 6 for No. 2 from Memphis.
However, ESPN.com is reporting that the Wolves will not package the picks:
The Wolves would then keep the draft pick and their own selection at No. 6 and not try to package those to move up, a source told ESPN.com's Andy Katz.
Other work will keep me from posting anything in-depth here until tonight at the earliest, but a few quick hits:
My best feel for the Grizzlies' current draft plans coming out of yesterday's workout session is that there are two primary options at this point: Drafting and keeping Hasheem Thabeet and drafting and trading Ricky Rubio. Any other scenario (such as taking James Harden, Tyreke Evans, or Stephen Curry at #2) is a longshot.
A team contingent (Chris Wallace, Lionel Hollins, Tony Barone Sr., and Johnny Davis) flew to Los Angeles Saturday to meet with Thabeet, which I certainly think fans should take as a strong indicator of how seriously Thabeet is being considered at #2.
On the other hand, trading the pick still seems to be a strong option, and it's been indicated to me that the rumored Minnesota deal involving Kevin Love is legit and still in play. In addition to that, there are likely several other trade options on the table with, presumably, more to come as draft day approaches.
What I don't sense is much of a chance of the team drafting and keeping Rubio, who doesn't appear to have a strong champion in the team's crowded and volatile war room.
The Grizzlies held their second major draft workout Friday morning with former Arizona State swingman James Harden, considered a darkhorse candidate for the #2 pick.
Harden had, frankly, a terrible workout, missing an avalanche of jumpshots while dealing with the stifling defense of small orange cones. Arguably worse than all the missed shots was how clearly frustrated Harden got.
Afterward, a team official pulled me aside and said 'Look, we both know that was one of the worst workouts we've seen, but we've seen this kid enough to know what he can do."
Harden, who shot 50% from the floor and 38% from three last year at Arizona State, is clearly a better shooter than he showed. (And he did find his rhythm toward the end, hitting 19 of 25 going around the horn on long two-point shots and a somewhat less impressive but still respectable 13-25 from three in the same drill.) And he may have been hobbled slightly by recovering from a minor ankle injury and recent sickness.
Still, after his poor performance in the NCAA tournament and his easy frustration at Friday's workout, I would tend to worry about his nerves.
The interesting comparison right now is Harden and Tyreke Evans, who worked out for the team on Wednesday. Harden and Evans are similar physically (height, weight, and wingspan), play essentially the same position, and are both thought to be pushing Ricky Rubio and Hasheem Thabeet as draft options for the Grizzlies.
A little late chiming in today, but the Grizzlies held their first significant draft workout earlier at FedExForum and there are a few items that have popped up on the internet or on the radio waves that are worth noting:
Former University of Memphis guard Tyreke Evans became the first of what should be five workouts the Grizzlies will conduct involving the seven players the team would be likely to consider either at #2 or in a trade-down scenario.
Evans went through a roughly hour-long workout conducted by Griz assistant Damon Stoudamire that focused on ball-handling and shooting drills. It's become habit for top prospects to decline competitive workouts, and you can see how this might benefit someone like Stephen Curry, who can wow on-lookers with a solo shooting display. But I think Evans is a prospect that is hurt by a lack of competition. The solo workout format amplified Evans' negatives — his inconsistent slingshot jumper and his erratic ball-handling — but didn't showcase his attributes — the ability to slash past (or through) defenders to finish at the rim or use his strength and wingspan to deny penetration.
I didn't think Evans was at all impressive today, but I doubt his performance really moved the needle either way in relation to the Grizzlies. The team has seen more of Evans than any other prospect in the draft. It will be interested — at least for me — to compare Evans to James Harden, who is scheduled to come in Friday and has a similar physical profile.
If the Grizzlies have one primary need this offseason, beyond just the obvious "more talent," it's an upgrade at power forward, where the team currently employees two good back-ups in Darrell Arthur and Hakim Warrick. With the #2 pick in the draft, tons of cap space, and plenty of options available either in the draft, via free agency, or potentially via trade, if the Grizzlies open next season with Arthur or Warrick in the starting lineup then this offseason will have been a failure.
Here's a list of my Top 20 candidates to be the Grizzlies' new starting power forward next season, ranked in order of preference — not likelihood.
A pre-emptive note: There are a few obvious names I left off either because I find their acquisition wildly unlikely (Chris Bosh, Lamarcus Aldridge) or because neither I nor — I suspect — the team would be interested (Antawn Jamison, Shawn Marion).
The List:
1. Blake Griffin
Rebounding/Physicality: Moderate-to-High. Griffin was a monster rebounder in college and is a beast physically, so he projects as a big-time pro rebounder as well. Defensively, he should be strong enough to hold his own on the block, but his average height and wingspan suggests he's unlikely to develop into a defensive force.
Impact Potential: High. Griffin projects as a scoring and rebounding machine as his game develops and is a tough-nosed kid. He'd be a great fit for the Grizzlies, obviously.
Availability: Low. There have been no signs so far that the Clippers are interested in dealing out of the #1 pick, but until draft night comes and goes, I'm not ruling it out.
I'll have a mammoth post up later tonight outlining all the conceivable candidates in the Grizzlies' summer search for a new starting power forward. But first let's let's break down a busy day or so of news and notes:
Workouts: The Grizzlies hosted only their second pre-draft workout today, welcoming Jeff Adrien, Dionte Christmas, Robert Dozier, and Courtney Falls on the FedExForum practice court. The only viable pick here for the Grizzlies is Christmas, who has been considered a contender at #36 and possibly #27. The guard out of Temple has solid size and a good three-point stroke, but didn't otherwise impress today, his handle and mid-range stroke looking shaky. And he clearly is not an above-the-rim finisher.
With my power out going on three days now and with production on the paper going on today, I probably won't be able to get into Grizzlies stuff again until tomorrow afternoon, but for now here's a crucial if entirely expected bit of info:
Draft Express is reporting that Ricky Rubio will remain in this year's draft:
-Ricky Rubio will keep his name in the draft, his agent Dan Fegan told DraftExpress. Clearly the rift between Rubio and his Spanish team DKV Joventut is too deep to mend at this point, and with the team strapped for cash and not playing in next year's Euroleague, that does not appear to be a situation that Rubio is interested in returning to.
Rubio lands in Los Angles today and will begin to evaluate his options regarding who he may work out with. At this point, the Sacramento Kings are the only team that are certain to get a visit. Memphis and Oklahoma City are not on the agenda as of now, and it's not yet clear whether they will be added. Other teams who are looking to move up in the draft may get a chance to visit with Rubio, depending on their interest level and the likelihood of them brokering a deal with a team like the Grizzlies or Thunder.
The most Griz-specific story of note around web today comes from CNNSI.com's Scott Howard-Cooper, who quotes an NBA executive warning the Grizzlies off Ricky Rubio:
A rival general manager is on the phone discussing the Grizzlies' options with the No. 2 pick. Ricky Rubio is the second-best prospect in the draft, he says, echoing the feeling of most peers, and Rubio would make Memphis better.
But ...
"If I'm the Grizz, I probably trade the pick."
Pretty much everyone who has any contact with the team considers a trade at #2 a strong possibility, but the reasons Howard-Cooper cites in addition to the difficulties surrounding Rubio: The emergence of Mike Conley at the point and the need for more size up front.
While those things may well factor into the Grizzlies' decision-making, they shouldn't factor too strongly: The team needs to be focused on getting the most talented player it can get and sorting the rest out.
Howard-Cooper's story also includes this rival GM talking up Hasheem Thabeet in connection with the Grizzlies. While the Griz do have interest in Thabeet, I think you have to consider the source here.
ESPN.com's Chad Ford has a rumors piece up with a couple of Griz items.
ESPN.com's Chad Ford has his fourth mock draft up and he's sticking with Hasheem Thabeet at #2 for the Grizzlies, though he suggests a trade is likely:
The Grizzlies continue to be a bit of an enigma right now. They are talking to a number of teams about a potential trade, and teams including the Kings, Wizards, Knicks, Rockets and Celtics have shown interest. The Grizzlies continue to publicly pursue Ricky Rubio as well, though a well-placed source in Rubio's camp said it's likely (though not definite) that it will skip Memphis when Rubio goes on a three-city U.S. tour next week.
There also have been rumblings that Tyreke Evans is in the mix in Memphis. But when the dust clears, it looks as though the most likely scenario has Thabeet in Memphis on draft night if the Grizzlies keep the pick.
Ford is now prognosticating Georgia Tech forward Gani Lawal for the Griz at #27.
Some new stuff to mull over on the ever-evolving Ricky Rubio front: ESPN.com's Chad Ford picks up on a story that emerged last weekend about Rubio challenging the sizable buyout with his current team.
Rubio challenging the buyout seemed to cement his entry into this year's draft — which I still believe to be the case — but Ford draws a slightly different conclusion:
If an arbitrator agrees with Rubio and lowers the buyout, Rubio would likely be headed to the NBA next season. If the arbitrator rules that Rubio's indemnity payment to the Joventut is reasonable, it may convince Rubio to stay in Spain another year.
Ford also reports that Rubio is headed to the States:
In the meantime, Rubio plans to arrive with his family in the United States on June 13. Rubio has yet to schedule visits with any team, according to the source.
Rubio has already informed teams that he won't do workouts, but he might visit them to meet the front office and owners. The source said if visits happen, they will be to Los Angeles, Oklahoma City and Sacramento — owners of the first, third and fourth picks in the draft.
The source said it's likely that Rubio and his camp will skip visits to Memphis. The Grizzlies hold the No. 2 pick, but the source said Rubio is leery about playing in Memphis after two other Spanish players — Pau Gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro — had bad experiences there.
Predictably, Grizzlies fans are already roasting Ford for telling them something they don't want to hear. I do think Ford was wrong about his earlier report of Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley pushing the drafting of Hasheem Thabeet, and it seems to me that he hasn't had great Grizzlies sources in the post-Jerry West era. But this information isn't coming from Grizzlies-connected sources. It's presumably coming from a Rubio-connected source, and since I haven't seen it strongly disputed anywhere, I think Griz fans shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it.
We're three weeks from draft day and no one — including, one suspects, the team's own braintrust — knows exactly which direction the Grizzlies will take with the #2 overall pick. Which is probably as it should be right now. On the day after the lottery, I laid out the four potential paths the team could take with the pick — trading up for Blake Griffin, draft (and keeping) Ricky Rubio, drafting (and keeping) someone else, or trading down or out (presumably with the rights to Rubio). And at the moment, all those paths still seem to be on the table.
Don't expect those options to begin narrowing until the final days before the draft — remember, last year the O.J. Mayo trade didn't really materialize until draft day itself.
As of right now, it seems clear that the team will make an attempt to get up to #1, but pulling off a deal with the Clippers seems like a longshot. I think trading down (or even out) is a likely scenario, but specific deals don't seem to have emerged yet. (Sacramento is an obvious trade partner, but don't be surprised to see Amare Stoudemire rumors in connection with the Grizzlies to re-emerge if it looks like the Suns are going to put the star forward back on the market.)
So, for now, let's assume the team will be drafting and keeping a player at #2 (or at least moving down only a few spots). Who are the most likely picks? Here's my current educated guess at the Grizzlies' likely draft board, based on conversations with team insiders, outside media reports, draft combine results, and my own sense of the players:
1. Ricky Rubio: The consensus #2 prospect following the lottery, there's been a lot of posturing, conjecture, and reportage regarding Rubio's status relative to the Grizzlies, so let's set the scene.
At the beginning of the week, ESPN.com's Chad Ford wrote this:
They've made a trip to Spain to woo Ricky Rubio and his family, but I still believe that, short of a trade, drafting Thabeet is the most likely outcome. Even if the front office decides that Rubio is the guy, they have to persuade him to pay a huge buyout to come to Memphis.
From what I can gather, that's not going to happen. The best option for the Grizzlies is to find a team hot for Rubio and get a couple of great assets for the pick. The problem with that plan is that teams don't seem willing to give up the farm for Rubio. Lots of teams like him, but not enough to make a blockbuster deal.
A little late posting this, but Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen has sent a letter to NBA commissioner David Stern and NBA Player's Union director Billy Hunter asking them to revisit the league's current age restriction in the next Collective Bargaining Agreement:
Cohen said that one of his primary arguments against the rule, which is part of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and union, was that soldiers can fight for their country at age 18 but not play in the N.B.A. He also said noted that predominantly white sports like hockey, baseball and golf lack similar restrictions.
"There's something wrong with keeping kids, who are more likely to be African-American than not, from playing professional basketball and football when they can help their families and communities immediately," Cohen said. "They're forced to go to school when they have no desire or interest in going to school."
My basic reaction: I think Cohen is certainly correct about the age restriction, though some of his rhetoric (the "slavery" reference) is overheated, or at least imprecise — there's certainly a plantation metaphor to be made here, but you need to be careful with it. Beyond that, though, I don't see this as an issue that exactly warrants congressional intervention.
After first echoing Chad Ford's report about the Grizzlies taking Hasheem Thabeet at #2, Draft Express is now coming off that report:
•Memphis Not a Lock to Take Thabeet?
Most NBA teams we speak to these days are assuming that the Memphis Grizzlies have been decisively spooked by Ricky Rubio's threats to pull a Fran Vasquez, and have instead zeroed in on Hasheem Thabeet as their likely selection with the #2 pick.
Memphis coach Lionel Hollins hasn't necessarily given up on the idea of drafting a point guard, though, and he's telling NBA-types that he may be interested in picking one with legit size that he can play alongside either Mike Conley or O.J. Mayo depending on the situation on the floor. Tyreke Evans is one that has come up—he comes with the added benefit of having played in Memphis, which might help the team somewhat in the ticket sales department. Jrue Holiday is another name that is beginning to get some mention here.
The assumption is that Memphis will trade down a few spots, possibly to 4th, where Sacramento can offer either Jason Thompson or Spencer Hawes as added compensation. That would surely please Rubio's camp, as the difference between the 2nd and 4th picks is somewhere around four million dollars over the course of his rookie deal, which would make things infinitely easier as far as his buyout is concerned, and also satisfy his and his family's initial expectations of being a top-3 pick.

Another Black Market Record for Plunging Egypt Currency: ChartBy
Egypt's pound dropped to 16.11 per dollar in the black market, another record that extends declines over the past month to 19 percent as pressure grows on the country to weaken its currency to lure foreign investment and stimulate growth. Africa's third-biggest economy, where the official exchange rate is 8.88 per dollar, will close a $12 billion lifeline from the International Monetary Fund within two months, according to Prime Minister Sherif Ismail.

A recent study by Tamba (Twins & Multiple Births Association) shows that fewer than one in five maternity units has implemented NICE guidelines in relation to delivery of twins and triplets. Is this failure putting lives at risk?
It is reported by Tamba that while multiple births make up only 3% of births each year, they are responsible for a disproportionately high number of stillbirths (7.4%), and neonatal deaths (18.4%). Just as tragically and importantly, a baby born as part of a "multiple" birth is more than six times as likely as a singleton baby to have cerebral palsy.
The reasons for these statistics lie in the complications which may arise in delivering more than one baby, as well as in the inherently greater risks of a multiple pregnancy. Such conditions as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and anaemia are more common in mothers who are carrying more than one baby, and these conditions can also carry risk for the babies.
"Multiples" are more susceptible to fetal growth restriction, and more likely to be born prematurely. More than 50% of "multiples" are born before 37 weeks, while 10% are born before 32 weeks. Prematurity carries considerable risk for the baby.
Other risks peculiar to twin pregnancies include twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) where one twin shares the other's blood supply, and the risk that a second born twin might suffer oxygen starvation while the first is being delivered.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), introduced new clinical guidelines in relation to multiple deliveries in 2011. Under those guidelines, mothers must be attended by a midwife trained and experienced in the delivery of multiple babies, sonographers must be skilled in scanning for twins or more, and an obstetrician should be available at all births.
A study by TAMBA (Maternity Services Survey Report 2014) has revealed that fewer than one in five maternity units has implemented these guidelines.
Multiple births are on the increase. In 2013, there were 10,783 multiple births, compared to 8,549 twenty years earlier. Factors include greater reliance upon IVF, where usually more than one embryo will be implanted.
Keith Reed, the chief executive of Tamba, has pinpointed the increase as being an added reason why services need to improve, and implement the NICE guidelines, saying:
"Too many units are putting twins', triplets', and other multiples' lives at risk by failing to follow the latest clinical guidance."
Alan Cameron, the vice-president for clinical quality at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), has also called for a "multi-disciplinary approach including input from midwives, obstetricians and ultrasonographers", which he states "will help to ensure any complications are picked up and managed quickly and effectively."
In the Clinical Negligence Team we have dealt with a number of cases where mismanagement of multiple births has led to the tragic death of a baby or a baby suffering brain damage leading to cerebral palsy.
Clearly it makes sense for all maternity units to heed and implement NICE guidelines, which are designed to improve patient safety, and to reduce the number of tragic incidents at birth which may lead to parents pursuing claims for compensation on behalf of severely injured children. Tamba are now working with maternity units across the UK to support them in implementing the NICE guidelines which will hopefully see a decrease in these injuries and deaths.

Darryl Starbird's 44th Annual Tulsa Rod & Custom Car Show
The city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, welcomed Darryl Starbird's annual car show with open arms, once again-can this really be the 44th edition? My, how the time flies when you're havin' fun, and you can't go to a Starbird show without havin' fun; it's against the rules, you know.
With more than 1,000 vehicles of all stripes on view, there's still room for monster trucks-crushin' stacks of used-up traffic-and motorcycle daredevils at one end of Tulsa's huge fairgrounds facility. Anyway you look at it, this is one absolutely amazing and unique venue for a car show. The now Quik Trip Center building was dedicated in 1966, laying claim to having the largest free-span roof in the world, which means no columns. It's held up by cables on pylons; think of the show being held under the Frisco Bay Bridge, only on concrete instead of water, and you have the general idea. The vehicles at this event mostly ride in from Oklahoma and neighboring states, especially Kansas. They also come from across the nation and north of the border, all to Go for the Gold, which is an award that adds up to $20,000. This brings together some of the wildest examples of vehicular art on Planet Earth, along with the debut of fresh, professionally built rods and customs, amazing homebuilts, and a few that make you say, "Hey, I remember that from when I was a kid in school back in the 1960s, even built a model of it!"
From a team of bikini girls struttin' their stuff to the aforementioned monster truck and daredevil action, plus much, much more, there really is something for the entire family, right, Dad … Dad?
This year's show also hosted the National Rod & Custom Car Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and although this invitation-only affair isn't open to the general public, the prestigious event is still newsworthy. On alternate years, it's held at Darryl Starbird's National Rod & Custom Car Hall of Fame Museum, less than an hour's drive away in Afton, Oklahoma, a place you really need to visit if you're interested in the history of our hobby. Each year, potential inductees are voted on in five categories by the museum's honorary board members, of which, I'm proud to say, I'm one. After much soul searching, as all were more than worthy, it boiled down to the following five: Steve Frisbie for Customs; Barry White for Rods; Steve Stanford, whom I had the honor to introduce, for the Special Designers Hall of Fame; Bill Smith for the highly prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award; and Mark Moriarty as Builder/Owner of the Year.
No one can tell you for certain what the future holds, but we I know we'll be there next February at Darryl Starbird's 45th annual Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rod & Custom Car Show. How about you?

The street names list was compiled and edited for this site by Cork City Libraries from a number of sources. The largest data source was supplied by the Roads Department, Cork City Council. About 1,400 of the street names of the city are included in this list. The more recently created addresses are not yet included.
Additional translations, for some of the streets not included in the above source, were taken from 'Sráidainmneacha Chathair Chorcaí' by Séamus Ó Coigligh (in Sráidainmneacha na hÉireann, pp. 41-75, ed. Breandán S. Mac Aodha. Baile Átha Cliath: An Gúm, 1998), with the permission of the author and the publisher.
The spelling of placenames can be controversial: Diarmuid Ó Murchadha, former editor of the Journal of the Cork Historical & Archaeological Society, and Séamus Ó Coigligh, Cork placenames adviser to the former Cork Corporation, argued that the Irish version of Douglas should be spelled as 'Dúghlas', with an aspirated 'g' (i.e. 'gh'). Séamus argued that 'glas' (stream or rivulet) was always a feminine noun, even with historically variant spellings (glas, glais, glaise). He added that 'dubh' (subsequently simplified to 'dú') aspirates all consonants except 'f'. He contrasted the controversial official spelling of 'Dúglas' (without the 'h') with 'Fionnghlas' (with 'h'), the official Irish version of Finglas in Dublin. If we consult www.logainm.ie, we might also contrast the official Irish spelling for Douglas with the official spellings of Fionnghlaise (Finglas, Co. Offaly), Achadh Dúghlas (Aghadouglas, Co. Offaly), Bun Dúghlaise (Bundouglas, Co. Galway), Cluain Dúghlaise (Clondouglas, Kerry), An Dúghlaise (townland in Kerry), An Dúghlais (river in Carlow) and even with the official Irish spelling for the Douglas River in Cork, 'An Dúghlais' — where all samples include the 'h'. Furthtermore, Séamus bemoned the dropping of the definite article, 'an', in the former 'An Dúghlas'. While endorsing a lenited consonant following 'Dú' (dubh) in other placenames, e.g., 'An Dúcharraig' for Blackrock, the body officially charged with responsibility for standardizing Irish placenames continues to recommend the controversial Irish version for Douglas without the 'h'.
There are also many examples of careless Irish spelling on placename signs. A sharp-eyed viewer of this page pointed to the 'b' in the photograph above, which should also have been aspirated/lenited (with a 'h') to read as 'Seanbhóthar na Dúcharraige'. Another anomly is at Highfield West, where the displayed nameplates show two different Irish versions: the quite meaningless 'Thiar an Ghort Aird' is on the wall plaque at the College Road end, while the correct Irish, 'An Gort Ard Thiar', is displayed at the Magazine Road end of the street.
Select a letter from menu at left of screen to display street names beginning with that letter.
Editorial work is being undertaken on our bilingual list of placenames during May-June 2013.

I changed the oil for the third time with non-syn recently and put a new aluminum skid plate on. I expected a little more engine noise but not this loud knock. Is this normal because of the skid plate. Oil level is perfect and still really fresh only 4 hrs on it.
New 07 450 knocking...?
I'll go out on a limb here and gurantee that what you are hearing is your chain slapping on the swingarm slider. Make sure your chain is properly adjusted.
Nah, this knock is when at idle or at any rpm for that matter with the bike not moving
My '09 WR450 sounds like a rock crusher at idle compared to other bikes...but runs like a dream. Seems all 4 stroke Yammies are like that. I've had Yamahas for 30+ years and they all sound like that.
Good to know. Thanks!
clutch basket? What the hours on your bike? Mine got a nasty knock around 500
Im not exactly sure since I havent put an hour meter on yet but not many prob 15hrs
drain the oil and check for shavings, just to be sure
Will do thanks.
Mine sounds like a rock crusher too. The sticky says this is normal unless there is a big hole in the case to let rocks in.
I have a new 2008 (about 12 hrs) with an aluminum skid plate - with the same noise. Kind of a heavy knocking which is worse when the clutch is engaged (lever out). Took the plate off for the oil change - rode around the yard and it was much quieter.
Figure it's the normal noise- and I'll have to get used to it (or get some ear plugs!)

To his daughters.Conway, Thursday afternoon, August 28, 1846.I do not think I can add much, dearest children, to your mother's letters, except an account of herself, which, however, I rather think you will be more glad to receive than anything else. . . . . The mountains, which rather deserve their ancient name of hills, are before our windows, and the pretty meadows of the Saco are all round the thriving, comfortable village in which our inn stands. It is just what I have wanted, and I assure you I enjoy the tranquillity and absence of all intercourse with strangers, except of the slightest kind, very much. Whether the hills are high, or low, is a matter of small moment to me. . . . . We shall both be glad to see you again, and will give you a day or two fair notice of what Dogberry calls our 'reproach,'—a thing you know little about. But I only meant to fill up the envelope a little, that nothing might go empty of love to you; and, in good truth, I have nothing else to send. Always your affectionate father,G. T.
Franconia, August 30.I am glad your mother has made the amende honorable to the mountains, my dear darlings; for it is always an awkward thing to do, and she has done it much more gracefully than I could. They really deserve it. It was a beautiful drive up the Saco, with its rich meadows, on Friday, and it was a fine, wild one down the Ammonoosuck—the wild Ammonoosuck, as it is well called—to-day; but this Franconia Notch, by which we go from the waters of the Connecticut to those of the Merrimack, has been a great surprise to me, so beautiful is the pass. Just here, the rude, perpendicular hills are so close together that there is hardly room for the buildings, and when you stand a few feet from the house on either side of it, you see the rocks from the other side frowning over it. The moon went down two or three hours, I think, before its time, and keeps, still, a beautiful twilight over the mountain in front of us, and the reflection of a pale sort of spectral light on the one behind. The house where we are, like several we have seen, has a look like the hospices in the Alps,—large, long, and standing alone; they

Readers' tips for Making Ends Meet on the Farm
Jennifer C.
We just have one car that we have paid off. We do not carry any credit card debt. Very little eating out, we have a lot of "stay at home" dates. We preserve as much food as possible by freezing, canning, and dehydrating. We have a garden, and are working to grow our own food. What we can't grow for ourselves we attempt to buy in bulk. We use foods that go a long ways such as beans, oatmeal,etc.
Lisa C.
My husband and I recently moved from the city in Texas to a rural area of Missouri. We now have our own little 3 acre place with an old farmhouse. We have pretty much paid off everything. We used my retirement fund to pay for our new place, so no mortgage there!!! It is an exciting journey!
As someone focused on a long-term goal of homesteading, I'm trying to both save money and spend it wisely. There's no reason not to diversify, and I enjoy blogging, doing some freelance writing, and working part-time out of the house. I'm refining the projects I work on, looking for ways to follow the dreams I do have, and then working hard.
I have been showing my husband how my multiple income streams really do help us make ends meet. Between blogging, selling handmade herbal products, and essential oils I am really helping the family make ends meet! I also have some ideas for the farmers markets next year when the kids are a little older.
Jennifer in PA
Ten years ago my husband and I and our children moved to a small town and became full time landlords. It has included some real moments of struggle making ends meet and continuing to invest in our business. We have had other small businesses along the way, some still making us money and some now shut down. Some days are tough but we have had time for our family and homeschooling our four children. I don't think we will regret this when they are grown.

Who knew that foot zone clients, foot zone instruction, and foreign exchange groups would have turned into multiple income streams– but they did! When I left my job three years ago, I started zoning to bring in some money until I found another job. Then the opportunity presented itself to work with foreign exchange students so I did that.
Then I had the opportunity to teach foot zoning so I did that. Along the way I started my website and lo and behold money has begun trickling in from that. Now clients are asking to buy my homemade soap. Somewhere along the line I stopped looking for a "job". And I've never been happier. (Although my husband was a little worried that first year.)
Karen Lynn
We are currently looking at ways we can create for ourselves and teach others to create alternative sources of income. This ties in to my recent "Money Talks" post!
We are in the process of looking for land to start a small organic farm. My wife currently works as an elementary school librarian, pretty much just for the insurance because after her 50% contribution for the insurance there literally isn't a pay check left. I am a free-lance architectural designer and furniture maker, but also sell greenhouse plans and other handmade and carved items online.
I have built a pretty good client base over the past 11 years and plan to still run my business(es) part-time after we purchase our property. I have read many books and talked to several farmers and there seem to be unlimited possibilities of generating income from your land. Right now we live on only a 1/4 acre, but I have been able to sell seedlings and raspberries to generate additional income.
This year I will be trying my hand at selling cut flowers and heirloom seeds. I am fortunate that I can run my business anywhere, but after we purchase our property I am confident that there will be even more income possibilities and I am looking forward to that day!
My husband and I have recently been discussing building our own homestead within the next five years. I wish we could start now but financially it is not possible yet. My goal for this year is a small family garden where we begin to grow our own food. We rent so it can't be big but we are going to do a container garden and try a vertical one as well as a small regular one.
For those in my similar position here is my "Things to Accomplish" list while I wait to be able to even buy an acre of land. Gardening in many forms; hunting; fishing; seed saving and using cuttings or scraps to start plants; canning; cooking not from a box; decreasing the use of electric devices; better sewing and crochet skills; knitting; archery for hunting and recreation.
We are also researching what would be our best options for heat, cooking, water and hot water. We want to build our home ourselves and have a basic blueprint drawn for the home we want. Thankfully hubs also has experience with carpentry and HVAC with a little plumbing and plenty of electrician skills thrown in. We know we want to build a stone wood burning rocket stove and find a way to use that to heat our water as well as our home.
We do want solar panels but here in the northern states sun isn't so reliable so we need to figure out a backup plan and how to best store energy for future use. Our kids all have asthma so ventilation is a huge concern and we can not completely forgo electric because the kids often require a nebulizer (breathing treatment machine) in the winter months when the cold gets to them or if the catch any chest bugs. There is much to consider when you decide to go off grid and there is always going to be something to do and something to learn. Right now we are working on our stockpile and emergency preparedness and looking forward to a life of self sufficiency!
My husband has been laid off for six months and he's still of the mindset that he'll find another job just like his old one. I'm trying to get all of our eggs out of one basket by diversifying into medicinal herbs, honeybees, and teaching.

We are living on one income now and it is not so bad! I retired nine months ago. All of my friends and cousins told me I SHOULD NOT/COULD NOT do it, that our "manner of living" would suffer horribly. My husband is nine years younger, and we have NOT changed our lifestyle, but I have learned to live with MUCH less, and realized I don't need all the "stuff" I had been buying.
What freedom! I think twice before spending now, and yes, I am blessed with Social Security and a pension… and I saved money in my last 6- 1/2 years of working to do some projects here at our place… but you CAN do it.
I made the move 10 years ago and am living on 1/4 of what I made when I was working. I spent my savings to buy the property which is only one acre but my auto insurance was lower, and my homeowners insurance was lower until Katrina and such raised insurance premiums all over. My property tax bill is 1/4 of what I was paying, I have a septic system and a garden and hope to have some chickens soon.
I have a larger house, more land space, less restrictions, lots of trees – – wish I had been able to do this when I was much younger and more able to work a larger spread and perhaps have cattle and horses. The first most amazing thing I noticed when I moved here was how many stars are really in the sky when there are no street lights to glare away the darkness.
Birds and wildlife to watch and enjoy. I used to have deer walk through the garden to get to the birdbath during the drought period. I think development and hunting have managed to drive them away.
May I never have to go back to living in a congested city ever again.
My husband and I moved to our homestead nearly 2 years ago and have a deep desire to be able to make a living off of our land. We both have steady jobs with incomes so that helps, but we desperately want to be at home with our garden and animals. We are working on figuring out how to make money off our homestead to reach our goal.

We're sold! We've been living in the country for awhile now and realize we are much better off in so many ways, ways innumerable.

Some families still live on one income. Many of the expenditures being made by the average American family are not for necessities. There are so many things we can do to improve our situations. Growing food, reducing spending, getting out of debt and not incurring any more debt just to name a few.
We're still in an apartment dreaming of living a rural life. Our little balcony is overflowing with pots (most homemade) for growing food and I cook everything we eat from scratch. We're stuck here due to a large student loan (a valuable degree, but unable to get employment that truly values it at the moment) and some consumer debt racked up during a few years of severe underemployment.
The best tool I've found to help us stay on track is the software "You Need A Budget." Unlike most budgeting I've seen it's more of a spending plan and its different way of looking at money decisions has helped me get past the feelings of hopelessness. I'm still working on cementing the habit but the mental shift has occurred and I feel much more in control than I used to.

The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire finally made its debut in India and had managed to build up a waiting period owing to 33,000 bookings in the past few days. The Dzire has been the best-selling car in the compact sedan segment, and the new Dzire competes head-on against the Tata Tigor.
The Tata Tigor is an all-new vehicle, and the 'Styleback', as Tata calls it, is unique, but is based on the Tata Tiago hatchback. So how does the 2017 Maruti Dzire fair compared to the Tata Tigor regarding style, specs, features, safety, and more? Let's find out.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Design
The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire has seen a host of cosmetic upgrades. The front-end of the car gets a redesigned grille, along with reworked headlamps including the A-pillar that gives the Dzire a sportier look compared to the car it replaces. Towards the rear, the tail lamps also see a tweak in design, giving the new Dzire a refreshed look.
The Tata Tigor could easily be mistaken for the Tiago when looked from the front, but it's a whole new ball game when viewed from the side. The Tigor's coupe-ish design will immediately grab attention, and the little LED strip above the rear glass uplifts the sporty character of the vehicle.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Engine Specifications And Gearbox
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is on offer with two engines - a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 82bhp and 113Nm of torque, and a 1.3-litre diesel engine churning out 73bhp and 190Nm of torque. Both engines are paired to a standard 5-speed manual gearbox, while an AMT is optional with both engines.
The Tata Tigor too is offered with a choice of either a 1.2-litre (three-cylinder) petrol engine making 84bhp and 114Nm of torque, or a 1.05-litre three-cylinder diesel engine producing 69bhp and 140Nm of peak torque. Both engines come paired to a standard 5-speed manual gearbox.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Mileage
Maruti Suzuki claims that the 2017 Dzire returns a mileage figure of 22km/l from the petrol engine and 28.4km/l from the diesel mill. Tata Motors, however, claim the Tigor returns 20.3km/l from the petrol motor and 24.3km/l from the diesel engine.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Features
The new Dzire comes with a host of features that include LED headlamps and tail lamps, daytime running lights, 14-inch steel wheels with optional 15-inch alloy wheels. Also available is a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, flat bottomed multifunction steering wheel, aircon vent for the rear, triple-tone dash with chrome and wood accents, and reverse parking camera.
The Tata Tigor features smoked out projector headlamps, 15-inch alloy wheels, an eight-speaker touch screen infotainment system with navigation, multi-functional steering wheel, numerous cubby holes to store bottles and glasses, and rear parking sensors with a camera.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Safety
On the safety front, the Dzire comes with standard dual airbags for the front, ABS with EBD, and features ISOFIX child seat anchors.
The Tata Tigor, on the other hand, comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, Cornering Stability Control (CSC), energy absorbing body structure, and the 'Tata Emergency Assist' app that shares the location of the vehicle with emergency contact numbers.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Dimensions
The 2017 Dzire measures 3995mm long, 1735mm wide, 1515mm tall, and the wheelbase measures 2450mm, while the ground clearance stands at 163mm. The Dzire's boot space measures 378-litres and can hold 37-litres of petrol/diesel.
The Tata Tigor measures 3992mm long, 1677mm wide, 1537mm tall, and the wheelbase measures 2450mm and stands 170mm off the ground. The Tiago's boot space is larger than that of the Dzire, measuring 419-litres and the fuel tank holds 35-litres of petrol or diesel.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Tata Tigor: Verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been a consistent best-seller in this particular segment, and sometimes even been the best-selling car in India. Maruti's widespread service network need has to be taken into consideration too, along with the tried and tested engines. You can never go wrong buying a Maruti in India.
What one needs pay attention to is the Tigor - a good looking one-of-a-kind compact sedan and is priced much lower than the Dzire. The Tata Tigor is a worthy buy, considering the package on offer — better boot space, better safety, and of course, the styling. The Tigor marginally edges over the Dzire when value for money is in question.

Lindsay Lohan Graciously Shared This Picture Of Her Sideboob, So Don't Forget To Pay Attention To Her
You know it's going to be a good day when you write two posts about celebrities' boobs before the clock strikes noon. First I wrote about Melissa McCarthy and her funny stand-up comedy boobs story. Now I get to write about this lovely photograph Lindsay Lohan shared on Instagram yesterday. It seemed for a while there that sideboob had sort of gone out of style and been replaced by underbutt or partial vagina. But Lindsay's determined to bring the sideboob back into style. She's also determined to make us all remember she exists. Therefore I'd like to go ahead and title this photo "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!"
And of course I am paying attention to her, because I'm powerless against celebrities' fame-hungry wiles. I can't help it. They fascinate me. Remember in the days of yore when famous people had to actually get up out of bed and leave their houses to stage something in front of the paparazzi and then wait for the pictures to be released before anyone would remember they existed? And what about the days of yorier when they actually had to wait for the photographs to develop? What an ordeal. Now a star can just snap a topless photo from the comfort of her own bed, post it on Instagram and instantly remind millions of people that she's still a thing.
Lindsay may have put a little more effort into this than it would have taken to post a mirror selfie, since it looks like she had her photographer buddy Rush Zimmerman snap the picture, based on the fact that she tagged her in the post. But have you ever tried to take a sideboob selfie? You have to be some sort of contortionist. And how are you supposed to hold the phone and smoke your cigarette and angle the photograph so that you don't get any nipple in there? Look, we want people to pay attention to us but we need to leave some stuff to the imagination in case we need to release a sex tape later. Duh!

Q. Why has Lehman Brothers collapsed . It was one of the most exposed banks to the US sub-prime mortgage market. It did not give out mortgages to ordinary American citizens. Rather, it bought up billions of dollars worth of These loans from US banks, re-packaged them, and sold them on to global.
Q. Why has Lehman Brothers collapsed . It also invested heavily in property, both commercial and residential. With the US housing market in free-fall these re-packaged loans and its property portfolio have plummeted in value. In June to August last year, the bank said it would write off $700 million (£390 million), from its balance sheet as a result. In the same three months this year, this figure soared to $7.8 billion (£4.34 billion). The bank tried to sell itself but no one – including the UK's Barclays – was willing to take on these "toxic" assets
Q. Could others follow Lehman Brothers? A. Yes. Merrill Lynch, one of the most venerable Wall Street firms, has been bought out by the Bank of America to save it going under. AIG, the world's largest insurance company is also running short of funds, it is understood. It is almost certain another major financial institution will collapse
Why does it matter that Lehman has collapsed and others are in trouble? A. Lehman does not have any High Street branches, ordinary savers or mortgage customers. However, its collapse will have profound implications for people around the world – and not just for its 25,000 staff, 5,000 of them in the UK who are almost certainly out of a job. Crucially, the US's central bank, the Federal Reserve has refused to step in to rescue the firm, even though it bailed out Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac earlier this year. This has rattled Wall Street and the City as investors realise that others could be allowed to go to the wall. As a result, share prices have fallen heavily on stock markets around the world

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS(NEWYORK LOCAL TIME) SUNDAY 12:00 The rest of Wall Street's banks and brokers are called into work to start addressing Lehman Brothers outstanding trades in the over-the-counter derivatives markets. 12:57: Barclays says it is pulling out of its bid for Lehman Brothers 15:11: Newspaper reports say AIG is seeking to raise between $10bn and $20 billion from buyout investors including Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts and J.C Flowers & Co to bolster its balance sheet. 15:45: Bank of America says it is pulling out of talks to acquire Lehman Brothers 16:18 : The Wall Street Journal reports that Bank of America and Lehman Brothers are in merger talks 22:00: A global consortium of 10 banks announces it is provide a total of $ 70bn for a U.S. borrowing facility aimed at providing liquidity.

You must have heard about the phrase core training but it is vital to know first, what is the core part of our body which will help you realize the importance of core training. The mid section of our body part is referred as the core and it includes all the parts of that area such as front, back and side muscles. The transverse abdominis (TVA), oblique, erector spinae, and the lower lats fall in that core part. Now these muscles are the main stabilizer of the entire body and when these muscles get weakened, it can lead to various harmful diseases. Core training is all about those exercises which work to strengthen the core muscles so that our entire body is stabilized.
Effects of core training
Core training is associated with innumerous health benefits. The core fitness training has various positive effects on human body. These are:
- Core training strengthens the abdominal structures that help our entire body to move.
- The muscles can work together effectively and efficiently.
- The respiratory function is improved a lot.
- The neuromuscular efficiency is improved that helps in efficient body movement and physical positioning.
- Core training strengthens the torso's stabilization.
- The absorption and transfer of forces is regulated perfectly while the body weight is distributed properly through the help of fitness training.
- Helps to flatten the tummy.

Functions of abdominal muscles in core training
The abdominal muscle that is the core part of the body handles various activities such as breathing, coughing, sneezing along with maintaining the position and speeches in various species. So, it is really important to develop the abdominal muscles through core training process. The rectus abdominis muscle, the internal obliques, the external obliques and the transversus abdominis are the main four abdominal muscles that take part in various body functioning. Now, the main aim is to follow a balance exercise that can improve all those muscles.
Core training requires most of the muscles to be involved thus it maintains a proper balance and all the abdominal muscles are being developed which in turn help to stabilize the body.

Types of exercises:
There are lots of exercises and all of them have different usefulness. Mainly the exercises are categorized in 4 different groups and these are: Endurance, Balance, Flexibility and strength. Now one might go for the one that is mostly needed by his body but it is always better to follow a combination of all those to obtain more benefits.
Endurance training: The main aim of endurance activities is to improve the heart rate and breathing system to keep the lungs and circulatory system healthy. So, you can stay safe and fit while it also helps to do other daily activities such as walking, dancing and jogging smoothly.
Strength training: The aim of strength training is to strengthen the abdominal and other muscles so that climbing the stairs and lifting weight become much easier for you. Weight lifting, using the body weight, etc. fall under strength training.
Flexibility training: This training involves the stretching of various muscles so that muscles become more flexible and help our body to stay limber.
Balance training: Balance training aids at improving the balance thus it prevents falls. For example, standing in one foot, Tai chi, etc. are the result of balance training.
Safety concerns during fitness training:
The importance of fitness training can't be overlooked as our physical, emotional and social health is being enhanced through it. But at the same time, risk is also associated with this. So, it is must to follow some safety rules during the exercise:
- Always wear the right shoe
- Use correct equipment
- Warm up and stretch your body in every 10 minutes
- Take help of a fitness instructor. This point is especially intended for all those who have some pre-existing injury. Also consult the doctor or physiotherapist before starting the fitness training
- Increasing the speed of any exercise is risky so be aware of that
- If any injury causes pain or discomfort, avoid that
- You must take a recovery day once in a week
- In case of injury, take rest
- Drink plenty of water.
Core fitness training is aimed at improving the body muscles so that we can do the everyday activities with ease. Whether it is about reaching out to certain things or bending to pick up some stuff, it requires the body muscles to move properly. So, it would be very wrong to say that fitness training is only required for the athletes rather we all need to follow the fitness training to stay fit and healthy every day.

There are many important decisions that need to be made when you are running a business. Something which many business owners struggle with for many years is being able to properly organise the workload. This can be especially difficult when you have a larger business to take care of, with a bigger workforce. Of course, something which all business owners should be aware of is the possibility of outsourcing. After all, with outsourcing you have a viable way of getting some of the work done, often with added benefits. In this post, we will be looking at some of the ways you can know it is time to outsource a particular task or project. Knowing when to do so and when not to is something a lot of people struggle with, so this should help. Read on to find out when you should be outsourcing your work.
It Will Save You Money
This is one of the major reasons that companies everywhere turn to outsourcing. No matter what the project actually deals with, you can be almost certain that this will turn heads. If you have worked out the costs of completion, and it turns out that outsourcing is cheaper, then that is worth considering. The fact that outsourcing is almost always cheaper might not necessarily be enough in itself, however. With that in mind, it is good to ensure that you are not being driven solely by financial incentives. However, this is definitely an advantage of outsourcing which you can't ignore.
You Need Expert Help
Often, businesses outsource because the work itself is something which requires professional knowledge. One common example of this in businesses today is in mobile app development. When your business is carrying out something technical like developing an app, you really want to make sure that you get it right. Something of that nature can require professional-level skill, however, so it is often better to seek help. That way, you can be sure of the quality of the final product.
You Don't Have The Staff
Sometimes outsourcing is quite simply a necessity. The main reason that it becomes so is because the business just doesn't have the manpower to carry out the work. In this instance, it makes perfect sense to have the work done elsewhere. That way, you can ensure that your own people can still get on with their own essential work. For a business which is constantly needing to make sure that the workload is satisfactory, outside help really can be exactly what you need.
You Don't Have The Time
Possibly the most common reason that a business will need to outsource is because they just don't have the time. If your business is struggling to get everything done, then it is likely that outsourcing will benefit you hugely. With outsourcing, you can ensure that everything that needs to be done is done. For a growing business with increasing demands, that is something which you really need to ensure happens.
