Rio de Janeiro is commonly known as the divided city with the rich and poor living in neighbourhoods just side by side. Explore life in the streets of Rio's favelas, in our immersive 360° documentary, narrated by the FT's Brazil correspondent Samantha Pearson. Produced by Visualise 360, adam&eveddb, and Dona Ana Films & Multimedia.

Rio de Janeiro is one of few global cities that strikes a balance between cosmopolitan hub and natural wonder. As well its openness and unique mix of people, the city has a wide range of galleries, restaurants and world-famous beaches. Our new travel guide, published by Gestalten, will help you discover every pocket of the city. Published by Gestalten, The Monocle Travel Guide to Rio de Janeiro is available now at The Monocle Shop.

Are you ready for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games? We are. We're a Rio de Janeiro-based multimedia production company that is available for Olympic projects, and open to collaboration.
Music: Leo Arnaud, "Bugler's Dream"
For us at Dona Ana Films & Multimedia, the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was much more than a 32-day tournament. For us, it was several years of crisscrossing a continental-sized country filming host cities' preparations, countless press conferences, and all the other joys and controversies that surrounded the tournament. This video is a summary of everything we filmed, from the cities' preparations for the tournament, to the World Cup draw, to Germany winning the World Cup.
In the past year, a lot has changed in the world of football. The 2014 World Cup manager for Brazil, Luiz Felipe Scolari, resigned after the Brazilian national team lost 7-1 in the semi-final to Germany, one of the worst losses in FIFA World Cup history, which left the host nation bruised and apathetic about the national team.
FIFA itself is now embroiled in its worst corruption scandal ever. Several of the FIFA officials in this video are being investigated by the FBI for racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering, like former CBF president José Maria Marin who is currently in prison in Zurich. And, the biggest change of all, FIFA's President, Sepp Blatter, has resigned from his post.
After a successful 2010 and 2014 Street Child World Cup, UK-based NGO Street Child United will hold the first-ever Street Child Games in March 2016.
With Olympic-themed games, a festival of arts and a street child congress led by the children focusing on the rights of every child, the Games are aimed at helping street child get off the streets by empowering them through sport.
To learn more about the upcoming Street Child Games, please go to streetchildworldcup.org/2015/01/on-your-marks-get-set-go/
And to learn more about Street Child United, please visit their website streetchildworldcup.org/
Going to enjoy carnival this year? Clean up your garbage.
Help the marvelous city of Rio de Janeiro (and the rest of Brazil) keep its natural beauty. If you drink or party, put you garbage in the bin, and help keep the streets and beaches clean. This was a voluntary project.
2014 will no doubt be a busy year for all of those in Brazil. With the FIFA World Cup happening in June and July, and with a presidential election a few months after that, over the next 12 months there's going to be a lot of attention focused on Latin America's largest nation.
At Dona Ana Films & Multimedia, we'd like to wish everyone a happy 2014. Here is a little taste test of what the new year's celebrations looked like at on Rio de Janeiro's famed Copacabana beach. Looking forward to seeing you in Brazil this year!
Reporting for Monocle, the New Cities Summit was held in Sao Paulo this year, which talked about the future of global cities. Here is a summary of what was spoken about at the event.

Current Turn-Around time for GAN affiliate applications?

It would certainly help if Performics/GAN could provide a reasonable estimate of the current turn-around time for new applications. It's certainly understandable that new-affiliate applications might have doubled or tripled since the Google acquisition -- but communication is important.
I reluctantly submitted an application to join GAN last weekend. Today, I re-submitted an application, using the exact same information, and saw no error message advising me that I'd previously applied. This made me worry that perhaps new applications aren't actually being saved! I then tried the "forgot password" feature, and verified that if I entered an email address that hadn't been used to apply for an account, your system rejected it, while my actual email address triggered a message and I was emailed a password.
I was then able to log in to the "account," but (as others mentioned) since I am not yet approved, I could not yet join any merchant programs. I was able to immediately view data for merchants, which has allowed me to add Performics merchants into my planning spreadsheet for the coming months.

I've had both Google AdSense and AdWords accounts for about 3 or 4 years now.
About two weeks ago I submitted an application for new Google Affiliate Network and was denied. I made a 2nd application and account was pending for about a week but now when I log in it says the account is "deactivated". Does this mean still pending or am I just SOL here.
My sites are pretty straight forward, nothing shady, and are well designed not to mention that the majority of them have been online 10+ years. I'm finding it hard to believe that a person actually reviewed my application and denied it with good reason.
Is there anyone I can call or email to find out what is really going on? The deadline looms for the Google referral program and I really need some good ads to fill this premium ad space. I've done very well with Google and have been able to double my advertising budget every year for the last 3 years to about 40K.
I can't believe that Google or DoubleClick would let a customer / partner like me get away. I have really enjoyed working with Google for all these years but if they don't want to work with me anymore a large portion of my advertising is going to go somewhere else like Microsoft.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
13:58 25 July 2012
Subway is set to open its first branch in a UK college, but a top nutritionist speaks up against the plan. The nutritionist said that letting fast food into schools will set the country back several years. "It's the kind of decision that will put us right back to square one."
The nutritionist, Annabel Karmel, established credibility prior to comments: "I've been working with food and particularly children's nutrition for 21 years and recently we've made progress with stricter guidelines for school dinners."
"Surely they will have to change their recipes in order to meet the nutritional measures required?" This comment was made based on the nature of Subway's sandwiches, like the meat ball pepperoni which has 600 calories per serving. Aside from the calories, Subway sandwiches also have high levels of salt in the bread and meats.
She also expressed concern about the example this will set: "What's to stop McDonald's or Burger King? These places, although fine as an occasional treat, aren't for everyday consumption."
"A child's tummy is only small. Once all that bread's in there, it leaves no room for the fatty acids, iron, and calcium they also need."
"It's not that I think food should be made from scratch in schools. (That's) more expensive and without always having the the time to make (food) taste good, there's no standard quality and it can put kids off."
Her suggestion is: "The key is to put the time and money into frozen healthy meals, such as good quality spaghetti Bolognese with vegetables or even burgers made with lean beef."

Mischa shows that you can never go wrong with a classic pair of black pumps.
Mariah is the QUEEN of heels... I saw an episode of Cribs where she actually said she has a naturally high arch and she walks on her tippy-toes. Not sure about the outfit, but I deff. love the heels.
I love this picture of Mary-Kate, I loved that she found a stylish yet casual way to wear heels.
Those heels were meant to be seen Rhianna!
Nikki Hilton has great style in my opinion, well better than her sister.
My ideal pair of heels would be a pair of black, peep-toe, slingbacks. My goal this summer (other than making A's in my 2 summer courses)... Is to find a pair.

*There's a guy at the gym where I work out who always is watching me. The fact that he notices me is not the problem. At 5'11" I'm taller than most people and not hard to miss even in a crowd. It's the way he looks at me; as if I'm a steak dinner and he's been on a tofu diet for a very long time. I think I've even heard him say "um um um" under his breath when I walk by.
Some women might consider it a compliment for a man to give them the "come hither" look to get their attention. But I prefer meaningful conversation. For most men that's too much like climbing Mt. Everest. So they don't bother to try. This gym guy doesn't speak to me at all. So I ignore him and his deer-in-headlights gaze as he grunts and stares, mostly at my body parts. Because of my workout attire – not something I wear anywhere else – he gets to see more than he would under normal circumstances.
The other day the gym guy happened to be in the weight room on the day that I do deadlifts. So he stood nearby – conspicuously I might add – and watched me lift. For two warm-ups and four sets. When did he plan to complete his workout? After he finished watching me, I presume. He might as well have had a tub of popcorn.
Even when I left the weight room and went upstairs to do aerobics, a few minutes later he found a reason to be upstairs too gazing in my direction.
That's when I came up with the ideal of hiring a body guard. Although I can defend myself, sometimes it takes a man to tell another man when he's making a fool of himself. If I tell him how disrespectful his actions are he probably would consider it a victory that I acknowledged him. And I refuse to do that.

Depression is insipid. He creeps in, until you suddenly notice him hiding behind a curtain, staring out at you with a scythe in his hand.
You smile and chat about the inconsequentials while feeling the blade whisper upon your neck.
He travels with you as you go about your day to day life, strumming his fingers on your spine as you bend to kiss the baby, or he whispers in your ear as you wash the plates.
He lies to you in your sleep, telling you stories of doom, and hate, and all the things that can bring your insecurities to the fore.
Depression sits on the beach with You and tells you the sea is beautiful further out.
He pushes you towards the open windows and shows you the view of law breakers and wars and He places a grey veil over your eyes which hides the beauty of the world.
He hides the solutions to your problems in full view. He makes sure you trip over all obstacles, even the tiniest, so the journey seems longer and harder.
Depression is my constant companion and we talk often of the past and future. He travels my life journey with me but I know him now. I shake his hand and clean his blade and tell him things I would not tell others. It lessens his hold. He cannot hide behind a curtain as I made him solid and gave him a name. I have the power.

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of cold water immersion (CWI) on postexercise parasympathetic reactivation. Ten male cyclists (age, 29 ± 6 yr) performed two repeated supramaximal cycling exercises (SE1 and SE2) interspersed with a 20-min passive recovery period, during which they were randomly assigned to either 5 min of CWI in 14°C or a control (N) condition where they sat in an environmental chamber (35.0 ± 0.3°C and 40.0 ± 3.0% relative humidity). Rectal temperature (Tre) and beat-to-beat heart rate (HR) were recorded continuously. The time constant of HR recovery (HRRτ) and a time (30-s) varying vagal-related HR variability (HRV) index (rMSSD30s) were assessed during the 6-min period immediately following exercise. Resting vagal-related HRV indexes were calculated during 3-min periods 2 min before and 3 min after SE1 and SE2. Results showed no effect of CWI on Tre (P = 0.29), SE performance (P = 0.76), and HRRτ (P = 0.61). In contrast, all vagal-related HRV indexes were decreased after SE1 (P < 0.001) and tended to decrease even further after SE2 under N condition but not with CWI. When compared with the N condition, CWI increased HRV indexes before (P < 0.05) and rMSSD30s after (P < 0.05) SE2. Our study shows that CWI can significantly restore the impaired vagal-related HRV indexes observed after supramaximal exercise. CWI may serve as a simple and effective means to accelerate parasympathetic reactivation during the immediate period following supramaximal exercise.
- heart rate variability
- postexercise heart rate recovery
- supramaximal exercise
- cooling strategies
supramaximal exercise is a proven time-efficient stimulus for increasing cardiorespiratory function and exercise performance (18). Although the benefits of supramaximal training are well known, the acute effects of supramaximal exercise are a severe disturbance to homeostasis and a poor cardioprotective background. This is reflected by an almost nonexistent level of parasympathetic reactivation [i.e., very low levels of vagal-related heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) indexes] in the 10-min period after a repeated sprint exercise (8). When exercise is performed in the heat, the homeostatic disturbance is confounded through a temperature-mediated increase in sympathetic outflow and decrease in parasympathetic reactivation (6, 21). Since sympathetic hyperactivity (5) or reduced cardiac vagal tone (3) after exercise may underlie ischemic heart disease and the pathogenesis of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, studies examining the sympathetic and parasympathetic activation after supramaximal exercise in the heat are needed.
The recovery and subsequent performance effects of immersing oneself in cold water following supramaximal exercise in the heat are receiving growing attention (25, 31, 41, 42). Although immersion in cold water baths (14–18°C) has been shown to enhance subsequent endurance performance (41, 42), cold water immersion (CWI) can also acutely increase the incidence of heart arrhythmias (for review, see Ref. 15). For example, a marked tachycardia and a greater incidence of ectopic cardiac beats have been reported in both healthy and elite divers following CWI (35). Furthermore, the increased cardiac workload associated with tachycardia and cold-induced vasoconstriction could result in a cardiovascular incident leading to incapacitation and drowning (39). This cold shock response observed immediately after water immersion is in fact thought to be responsible for a number of open water deaths each year (39). Whether CWI, at temperatures commonly used in the field, constitute a safe and recommendable recovery strategy must be questioned, especially after supramaximal exercise in the heat, where the contrast between body and water temperature is at its highest and where parasympathetic activity is most reduced (6, 21).
Water immersion itself can trigger parasympathetic heart control (28, 32), as well as eliciting a higher cardioprotective environment (3) compared with a (nonwater) control (N) condition. For instance, water immersion of the face induces a diving reflex characterized by bradycardia, peripheral vasoconstriction, and a diminished cardiac output (22). In contrast, the rise in hydrostatic pressure on the body from the surrounding water (29) leads to an increase in vagal-related HRV indexes (22), perhaps related to the rise in central blood volume, cardiac output, stroke volume, and central venous pressure (29). These higher blood pressures activate arterial high pressure and cardiopulmonary low pressure baroreflexes, which may enhance vagal nerve activity and inhibit sympathetic nerve activity (34), leading to a bradycardia (34) and an increase in vagal-related HRV indexes (36). As a result, the influence of water immersion under conditions common in the applied sport setting on autonomic activity and heart rhythm is difficult to predict. In these situations, participants are generally submerged in a seated position to the midsternal level, and the diving reflex-mediated parasympathetic stimulation might not occur. In addition, ectopic cardiac beats, associated more with the diving reflex rather than water immersion itself (because the time link with respiration), might be avoided with this procedure (15).
Temperature of the water immersion bath can also alter parasympathetic heart control, through its effect on peripheral cutaneous vasoconstriction, on baroreceptor loading and the resultant vagal activation (28). Nevertheless, the cold-related decrease in sympathetic activity might not occur during short-term immersion durations common in the field sport setting, since changes in core temperature usually only occur with longer immersion duration (33). Conversely, since temperatures used in the field (i.e., <15°C) (25, 30, 41, 42) are far from thermally comfortable (24), cold baths could result in further sympathetic activation (15, 24) by creating an accentuation of sympathovagal antagonism that would counter the beneficial parasympathetic effect of the increased hydrostatic pressure.
In light of our limited understanding of the effect that short-term CWI exposure has on postexercise autonomic control, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of a 5-min CWI at a temperature commonly used in the applied sport setting (i.e., 14°C) on vagal-related HR-derived indexes measured after supramaximal exercises performed in the heat. From a clinical perspective, we sought to assess the safety of the CWI procedure after maximal exercise. As a consequence of the apparent absence of a diving reflex, and because of the cold shock-related increases in sympathetic activation, we hypothesized that CWI immediately after exercise would decrease parasympathetic modulation during the immersion period. In contrast, we believed that the persistent decrease in core temperature after CWI would increase markers of parasympathetic reactivation during recovery from supramaximal exercise.
Ten male cyclists (age, 29 ± 6 yr; stature, 181.7 ± 4.0 cm; mass, 79.3 ± 6.3 kg; and V̇o2max, 56.5 ± 5.0 ml·kg−1·min−1) were recruited to participate in this study. Based on the assumption that a 2.1 ± 1.1 mHz2 difference in postexercise high-frequency (HF) power (i.e., the power density of HRV in the HF ranges) is meaningful (8), we used Minitab 14.1 Software (Minitab, Paris, France) to determine that a sample size of at least nine participants would provide a statistical power of 0.8 at an α-level of 0.05. Subjects were provided with the procedures and risks associated with participation in the study and gave their written informed consent before participation. The study was approved by the University's Human Research Ethics Committee.
Experimental Design
Subjects completed two exercise sessions separated by 7.0 ± 1.0 day. During the exercise sessions, subjects performed two supramaximal exercise bouts [1-km cycling time trials; supramaximal cycling exercises (SE)1 and SE2; adapted from Marsh and Sleivert (25)] on a Velotron cycle ergometer (RacerMate) in an environmental chamber maintained at 35°C and 40% relative humidity (rh). For each SE, subjects sprinted from a standing start using a fixed resistance (gear ratio of 53 × 14). Before the trials, subjects were familiarized with the SE protocol, and the SEs were completed without a preceding warm-up. Immediately after SE1, subjects began 20 min of passive recovery, during which they were randomly assigned to either 5 min of CWI in 14°C (30) or a control (N) condition where the subject remained seated in the environmental chamber (Fig. 1). CWI occurred from 7.5 to 12.5 min of the 20-min recovery period. Subjects completed SE2 within 2 min after the specific recovery condition period. During the SEs, average power (W) and completion time (s) were recorded for analysis. Beat-to-beat HR and rectal temperature (Tre) were continuously recorded throughout the experimental period. The subjects′ rating of recovery was measured after the 20-min recovery period using a 10-point Likert scale, with a rating of 1 as feeling not recovered and a rating of 10 for feeling fully recovered.
During the 5-min CWI, subjects were submerged in an inflatable water bath in the seated position to the midsternal level, wearing only their cycling shorts. Water temperature was maintained at a constant 14°C by a specially designed water refrigeration unit (iCool Portacovery, Queensland, Australia). The 14°C water temperature selected for this study has been shown to be both effective at lowering body temperature while remaining tolerable to most subjects (30).
Tre was measured using a disposable rectal thermometer (Monatherm Thermistor, 400 Series; Mallinckrodt Medical, St. Louis, MO) inserted ∼12 cm past the anal sphincter. Tre measurements were recorded via a data logger (Grant Instruments, Shepreth Cambridgeshire, UK) at a sampling rate of 1 Hz. For simplicity and statistical analysis, Tre data are presented as an average of the last 1-min period during each HRV measurement (see Fig. 1).
Beat-to-beat HR Analyses
Data recordings and treatment.
A Polar S810 HR monitor (Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland) was used to continuously record beat-to-beat HR during each exercise and each subsequent recovery phase (17). All R-R series were extracted on an IBM-compatible personal computer using a processing program (Polar Precision Performance SW 4.03; Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland). Occasional ectopic beats (irregularity of the heart rhythm involving extra or skipped heart beats, i.e., extrasystole and consecutive compensatory pause) were visually identified and manually replaced with interpolated adjacent R wave-to-R wave interval (R-R interval) values.
Postexercise HRR assessment.
Within 5 s of completing the exercise, subjects sat passively in the environmental chamber, during which time beat-to-beat HR was analyzed for a 6-min recovery period. HRR was calculated by fitting the 6-min postexercise HRR data into a first-order exponential decay curve (11). A HR time constant (HRRτ) was then produced by modeling the resultant first 5 min of HR data using an iterative technique (Sigmaplot 10; SPSS Science, Chicago, IL) by the following equation: HR = HR0 + HRamp e(−T/HRRτ), where HR0 is resting (final) HR, HRamp is maximal HR (HRmax) − HR0, and T is time (s). A single exponential model was applied for all subjects, since previously used models (i.e., biexponential) did not significantly improve the gain of variance for the fit between modeled and measured HR data. Only HRRτ was retained for statistical analysis.
Short-term resting HRV analysis.
Before exercise, subjects were asked to remain quietly seated on a chair and to breathe regularly during a 5-min period in the environmental chamber (35°C; 40% rh). HRV analyses were performed at four time points throughout the exercise sessions (Fig. 1): on the last 3 min of the 5-min period preceding SE1 (pre-SE1) and SE2 (pre-SE2) and on the last 3 min of the 6-min recovery period after both SE1 (post-SE1) and SE2 (post-SE2). Although respiratory rate is often controlled in HRV studies, we chose not to control respiratory rate in our participants because we did not want to perturb the natural return of HR to baseline levels (8). Nevertheless, respiratory rate was always in the HF range (>0.15–0.50 Hz) and did not differ significantly during any of the three measurement periods. Mean HR at 3 to 6 min, the SD of normal R-R intervals (SDNN), the root mean square difference of successive normal R-R intervals (rMSSD), the percentage of successive R-R differences >50 ms (pNN50), and the short- (SD1) and long-term (SD2) R-R interval variability indexes of Poincaré plots were calculated for the 3 min of recorded data (Fig. 2). After the ectopic-free data were detrended and resampled (fixed linear sampling; frequency of 1,024 equally spaced points per 3-min period), a power frequency analysis was performed sequentially with a fast Fourier transform based on a nonparametric algorithm with a Welsh window. The power densities in the low-frequency (LF) band (0.04–0.15 Hz) and the HF band (>0.15–0.50 Hz) were calculated from each 3-min spectrum by integrating the spectral power density in the respective frequency bands. Poincaré plots were generated by plotting each R-R interval as a function of its previous R-R interval (40). The shapes of the Poincaré plots were also visually examined as previously reported (5A, 40). The SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50, SD1, SD2, natural log of LF (LnLF) and HF (LnHF) power density, the normalized HF power [calculated as the HF/(LF + HF) ratios], and the HR were retained for statistical analysis.
Time-varying vagal-related HRV index.
Although a progressive increase in the R-R interval is generally observed over the initial 5 min of recovery, a piecewise linear curve with superimposed oscillations is common during shorter (i.e., 15–60 s) HR sampling. Thus a time-varying vagal-related index, rMSSD, was calculated for each of the 13 subsequent 30-s segments of recovery (rMSSD30s) (8, 11). To smooth out transient outliers in the HRV plots (HRV vs. time in recovery), a median filter operation was performed in which each value was replaced with the median of the value as well as the preceding and following values. The first and last values were not median filtered (8).
Statistical Analysis
The distribution of each variable was examined with the Shapiro-Wilk normality tests. Homogeneity of variance was verified by a Levene test. Compound symmetry, or sphericity, was verified by the Mauchly test. Since data were skewed (i.e., HF and LF power densities), data were transformed by taking the natural logarithm to allow parametric statistical comparisons that assume a normal distribution. Possible differences in absolute resting HRV measures at pre-SE1 and in rating of recovery were examined via a paired Student's t-test. HRV recorded at post-SE1, pre-SE2, and post-SE2 was expressed as a percentage of those values measured at pre-SE1; these values are reported as absolute HRV values for comparison with previous work (i.e., Table 1) (8, 10). Performance during SEs and HRRτ measures were analyzed using a two-factor repeated-measure ANOVA, with one between factor (condition; CWI vs. N) and one within factor (repetition; SE1 vs. SE2). HRV measures and Tre were analyzed using a two-factor repeated-measure ANOVA, with one between factor (condition; CWI vs. N) and one within factor (time; pre-SE1, post-SE1, pre-SE2, and post-SE2). For time-varying rMSSD30s, a three-factor repeated-measures ANOVA with one between factor (condition; CWI vs. N) and two within factors, period (repetition; SE1 vs. SE2) and time (13 repeated measures during the recovery), was used to examine the main effects and/or interactions of the recovery condition, exercise repetition, and time during recovery. For each ANOVA, if a significant interaction was identified, a Bonferroni's post hoc test was used to further delineate differences between recovery condition, exercise repetition, and time. For all analyses, the level of significance was set at P < 0.05. If no significant effect was observed in an analysis, but a tendency toward significance (P ≤ 0.1) was apparent, then an effect size (ES) was calculated (14). If there was at least a large ES (>0.80), but the statistical power was low, the likelihood of a type II error was noted. All statistical analyses were carried out using Minitab 14.1 Software (Minitab), and data herein are presented as means and SD (±SD).
Effect of CWI on Subjects′ Rating of Recovery and Supramaximal Performance
Rating of recovery was significantly better with CWI compared with N (6.5 ± 2.1 vs. 4.5 ± 2.0; P < 0.01). Mean exercise time for SE1 and SE2 was 80.1 ± 3.2 and 81.2 ± 3.5 s for N and 80.2 ± 3.4 and 81.5 ± 3.2 s for CWI. There was neither a repetition (P = 0.15) nor condition (P = 0.76) effect on mean power output, with no interaction found (P = 0.90).
Effect of CWI on Tre
Examination of the Tre data revealed a main effect for time (P < 0.001); however, there was no condition effect (P = 0.29). A condition × time interaction was also not found (P = 0.16). During the N condition, when compared with baseline values (37.1 ± 0.2), Tre was similar after SE1 (37.5 ± 0.2; P = 0.49) but tended to increase thereafter after SE2 (37.6 ± 0.1°C). For the CWI condition, when compared with baseline values (37.2 ± 0.3°C), Tre did not show an increase throughout the experimentation [i.e., after SE1 (37.4 ± 0.2°C) and before (37.4 ± 0.3°C) and after (37.4 ± 0.3°C) SE2]. Surprisingly, there was no difference in Tre between conditions before (i.e., during CWI) and after SE2.
Effect of CWI on Peak HR and Postexercise HRR
Peak HR values were 172.8 ± 9.1 and 175.5 ± 8.8 beats/min for SE1 and SE2 during N and 170.8 ± 7.9 and 170.6 ± 9.0 beats/min during CWI. There was neither a repetition (P = 0.65), condition (P = 0.21), nor repetition × condition interaction (P = 0.60) shown. Values for HRRτ during N were 137.4 ± 53.4 and 128.3 ± 39.8 s after SE1 and SE2, respectively. During the CWI condition, HHRτ values were 140.4 ± 52.4 and 128.2 ± 29.4 s after SE1 and SE2, respectively. There was neither a repetition (P = 0.46) nor condition (P = 0.91) effect and no repetition × condition interaction (P = 0.46) shown. Relative changes in HRRτ were similar between both conditions (P = 0.61).
Effect of CWI on Postexercise HRV
Only two subjects displayed ectopic beats during CWI, but their occurrence was very low (<3%) and similar during the N condition. HRV values, before and after each exercise bout, for N and CWI conditions are presented in Table 1. R-R intervals and associated Poincaré plots in a representative subject during the 3-min periods under CWI and N conditions are illustrated in Fig. 2. Poincaré plots were comet shaped in all subjects for both conditions. Values for HF power, expressed as a percentage of pre-SE1, are illustrated in Fig. 3. All HRV indexes before SE1 were similar for N and CWI conditions (all P > 0.20). Most HRV indexes displayed comparable variations between conditions and times. For example, for HF power, there were time (P < 0.001) and condition (P = 0.02) effects, as well as a time × condition interaction (P = 0.03). During N condition, vagal-related indexes at post-SE1, pre-SE2, and post-SE2 were all significantly lower than pre-SE1 (e.g., all P < 0.001 for HF). There was no difference between post-SE1 and pre-SE2 (P = 0.60), whereas post-SE2 tended to be lower than post-SE1 (P = 0.10; ES = 1.2). During CWI, only post-SE1 and post-SE2 HF were lower than pre-SE1 HF (e.g., all P < 0.001); pre-SE2 HF tended to be lower than pre-SE1 HF (P = 0.07; ES = 0.9) and was higher than post-SE1 HF (P < 0.001). There was no difference between post-SE1 and post-SE2 HF (P = 0.99). Moreover, for the CWI condition, pre-SE2 (P = 0.05; ES = 1.0) and post-SE2 (P = 0.11; ES = 1.2) HF values tended to be higher than those values during N condition.
Effect of CWI on the Time-Varying HRV Index
There were condition (P < 0.001) and time (P < 0.001) effects on rMSSD30s but only a tendency for a repetition effect (P = 0.10). Although there was a condition × repetition interaction shown (P < 0.01), neither a time × condition (P = 0.98) nor a time × repetition (P = 0.99) interaction was evident. Post-SE2 was lower than pre-SE1 during N condition (P = 0.01), whereas this was not the case during CWI condition (P = 0.78; Fig. 4). Post-SE2 values for CWI were higher than during N condition (P < 0.001).
This study examined for the first time the effect of CWI (14°C) following supramaximal sprint cycling in the heat on postexercise autonomic function. The main findings of the study were that 1) supramaximal exercise performed in the heat reduced all vagal-related HRV indexes within a short period after exercise cessation; 2) the decrease in vagal-related HRV indexes tended to be even more pronounced after a second exercise bout in the heat, but not when CWI was applied; and 3) in contrast with our first hypothesis, HRV indexes were significantly increased during CWI. Our results indicate that short-term exposure to CWI after supramaximal exercise in the heat can significantly restore the impaired vagal modulation observed after a single supramaximal exercise session in the heat and is thus likely to preserve postexercise parasympathetic reactivation during repeated high-intensity exercise.
Effect of CWI on Postexercise HRV Following a Single Supramaximal Exercise Bout
Because direct measurement of cardiac parasympathetic nerve activity immediately after exercise was not feasible in the present study, we used HRV indexes to noninvasively assess cardiac autonomic activity. Limitations to HRV indexes are well known (1, 4). The current view is that HRV offers a qualitative marker of cardiac parasympathetic regulation (4, 11). A reduction in cardiac vagal activity after exercise can underlie ischemic heart disease and the pathogenesis of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (3). Our results confirm, at least under the N condition, that supramaximal exercise performed in the heat lowered the cardioprotective background. Indeed, supramaximal exercise caused a significant decrease in vagal-related HRV indexes within a short period after the termination of exercise (i.e., 6–15 min post; Fig. 3). In addition, the HF power values after 80 s of supramaximal cycling were slightly higher (2.5 ± 1.2 ms2) than that observed previously after a 360-s repeated sprint exercise (1.5 ± 1.2 ms2) in a thermoneutral environment (8). Nevertheless, this finding is likely explained by the difference in exercise load (i.e., duration, intensity, and anaerobic system participation) between these two studies (8).
After the first exercise bout, we observed an increase in parasympathetic modulation in the CWI condition that almost reached preexercise values; however, this was not observed in the N condition (Fig. 3). Moreover, it is worth noting that CWI was not accompanied with a higher prevalence of arrhythmias compared with the normal recovery condition (Fig. 2, top). An increase in hydrostatic pressure on the trunk and an increase in thoracic blood volume possibly stimulated central baroreceptors (29, 34), which may have resulted in a decreased sympathetic activity and a shift toward cardiac parasympathetic (modulation) predominance (34, 36). The thermal effects of CWI on the autonomic system are, however, more difficult to isolate from the hydrostatic ones. In contrast with our first hypothesis, our data could indicate that the sympathetic activation (cold shock) (15) at the start of the CWI was not as prevalent as suggested. In addition, although CWI resulted in only a modest (and not significant) decrease in core temperature, it is still likely to have caused the reduced sympathetic activity shown compared with the N condition (24).
Alternatively, the increase in vagal activity during CWI could have been the result of a sympathovagal interaction, which generally occurs when both arms of the autonomic system are activated at high levels (23, 40). For instance, a heightened sympathetic tone can enhance the HR response to vagal nerve activity (23); however, the opposite response (i.e., attenuated vagal effect on HR) has also been demonstrated (26). Whether concomitant sympathetic tone augments the HR response to vagal stimulation would depend on the type (e.g., neural vs. humoral stimulation) and site (pre- vs. postsynaptic) of adrenergic receptors most selectively activated under a given condition (26, 27). In our study, it is likely that sympathetic tone was activated at all levels by all mechanisms; therefore, it was not easy to speculate on its interaction with HR. Nevertheless, visual examination of the shape of Poincaré plots (Fig. 2, bottom) suggests that the presumed sympathovagal interaction did not occur, since normal comet-shaped scatter plots (and no torpedo-shaped or parabola-like plots) were observed for all subjects in both conditions (40). Thus we could not determine the exact mechanisms by which the CWI affected the autonomic system after exercise, and this area requires future research. Nevertheless, we can put forth that our commonly used recovery condition (5 min at 14°C) resulted in a parasympathetic dominance that was reflected by the observed bradycardia and enhancement of HRV indexes.
Our data confirm that water immersion and cooling have a cumulative influence on parasympathetic heart control (28). Therefore, the particular effectiveness of a 14°C 5-min CWI to restore parasympathetic modulation relies on beneficial interactions between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system, responsible simultaneously for thermoregulation, cardiovascular stability, and homeostasis restoration. The present findings confirm that CWI can be used to transiently improve cardioprotective background, at least after a single supramaximal exercise bout in the heat (12). The aim of the following sections is to promote further research and understanding into how supramaximal exercise, hyperthermia, and CWI may interact to affect HRV.
Effect of CWI on Immediate Postexercise Parasympathetic Function Following Repeated Supramaximal Exercise Bouts
We were surprised that the CWI treatment did not improve cycling performance during the second exercise bout compared with the N condition. Nevertheless, this is possibly explained by the fact that our subjects were not given the opportunity to warm up before each exercise. Even if recovery might have effectively been enhanced (i.e., through improved system stress metabolite clearance), a lower muscle temperature after the CWI could have lowered muscle contractile ability and exercise performance (2). Nevertheless, CWI, in addition to its effect on autonomic activity, was associated with a significantly higher rating of recovery.
Changes in vagal-related HRV indexes indicate that CWI may provide a protective effect after repeated supramaximal exercises in the heat. For instance, after the second supramaximal exercise bout, vagal-related HRV indexes tended to diminish further compared with preexercise levels in the N condition; however, there was no additional decrement in parasympathetic function with CWI (Table 1 and Fig. 3). It is worth noting that, for the N condition, postexercise HRV values after the second exercise bout tended to be lower than preexercise values, although not significantly (P = 0.10). However, we observed a strong ES (ES = 1.2), suggestive at least of a clinical effect (20). Moreover, the time-varying index, which represents the time course of parasympathetic reactivation, was significantly higher for the CWI condition (Fig. 4), suggestive of a greater cardioprotective background. Differences shown between the N and CWI conditions can be exclusively attributed to the 5-min CWI intervention, since we did not observe any differences in exercise performance or maximal HR that could have confounded the kinetics of parasympathetic recovery (8). We speculate that the interaction between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, described above (23, 40), is the likely reason for our observed differences in the HRV indexes in the normal and CWI conditions. In addition, high temperatures trigger sympathetic activation (24), which improves heat dissipation (e.g., cutaneous vasodilatation, sweating) and counters postexertional hypotension (21). The observation of no change in Tre after the second exercise bout in the CWI condition further explains the higher parasympathetic background shown.
Effect of CWI on HRR
To our knowledge, the effect of CWI on HRR has not been investigated. In the present study, CWI had no significant effect on the HRRτ. Given the strong parasympathetic background governing HR deceleration after exercise (11), these findings were surprising. Nevertheless, the increase in parasympathetic activity (inferred from increased vagal-related HRV indexes; see Effect of CWI on Postexercise HRV Following a Single Supramaximal Exercise Bout) after CWI is likely related to an increase in vagal modulation consecutive to increases in central blood volume (9, 36) rather than vagal tone. Therefore, the lack of a CWI effect on HRR is consistent with our present understanding of physiological mechanisms underlying HRR (9, 11). Indeed, recent findings have shown HRR to be related to the acetylcholine concentration at the receptor levels (16) or to DNA sequence variation in the CHRM2 gene locus of the muscarinic receptors of the heart (19) and not systematically to variation in its concentration (i.e., in its modulation) (9, 11). Our findings provide further evidence to support the theory that HRR and HRV indexes characterize distinct independent aspects of cardiac parasympathetic function (7, 9, 11, 16).
Study Limitations
The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of a commonly used CWI recovery strategy [5-min in 14°C (25, 31, 41, 42)] on HR-related indexes. Nevertheless, our present study protocol did not permit us to decipher the respective effects of immersion versus cold exposure on postexercise parasympathetic reactivation. Administering warmer water and cooler ambient air conditions might have helped us to isolate the independent effects of temperature and hydrostatic pressure on postexercise HRV and should be the focus of future work. In addition, using water immersion temperatures to maintain a constant hydrostatic vasoconstriction (38) could have also helped us to quantify the presumed sympathovagal interaction phenomenon mentioned. Nevertheless, maintaining equal temperatures of the two environmental mediums would not have been easy. Subjects would have had to sit in a very cold chamber [taking into account the high thermal conductivity of water, i.e., ≈−5°C (12)] or been immersed in a hot water bath at an equivalent temperature to our ambient air [35°C (13)], which would have been difficult to handle in the heat after our supramaximal exercise. Finally, we chose to recruit trained cyclist in the present study, since they were familiar and conditioned with this highly demanding protocol. We acknowledge that our choice of subjects limits the applicability of our findings to a small population of individuals. Future research in sedentary individuals or others in certain disease states (e.g., hypertension or heart failure) is warranted.
The present study supports the likely benefits of using of CWI before and after supramaximal exercise performed in the heat. When used after a single exercise session, CWI significantly restored the impaired parasympathetic function to almost preexercise levels. Thus CWI may serve as a simple and effective means of accelerating parasympathetic reactivation during the immediate period following supramaximal exercise.

When DARPA Program Manager Daniel "Rags" Ragsdale asked his colleagues how to create a hacking competition to train the service academies, they all said the same thing.
"Without exception, they all said, 'Go to Pittsburgh. You need to have a conversation with Dr. Brumley,'" Ragsdale recalled. "I'd never met Dr. Brumley. I was just going off the recommendations of people I deeply respected."
With the help of CyLab Director David Brumley, Ragsdale created "Cyberstakes," a full-fledged offense / defense hacking competition in which students from every United States service academy could participate in. DARPA launched the pilot competition in 2014, and this year sponsorship transitioned to the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The Department of Defense (DoD) hosted its 3rd annual Cyberstakes Feb. 5-7.
"This year's Cyberstakes competition represented an exciting new level of challenging hands-on engagement," Frank C. DiGiovanni, the Defense Department's director of force training, told DoD News in a recent interview. "It bodes well for our nation's cyber training pipeline."
A combined total of 48 cadets and midshipmen from the military academy, air force academy, naval academy, and coast guard participated in this year's contest, which used CyLab-inspired curriculum executed by Brumley's CMU-spinoff, ForAllSecure. Four active-duty members of the U.S. Army's Cyber Protection Brigade also participated, a first for the brigade.
Over the course of three days, participants competed in a range of events including reverse engineering, cryptography, cyber forensics, identifying vulnerabilities and launching attacks on executable programs. Participants also competed analog version of computer hacking: lock-picking.
"By having a competition that reinforces their skills, and is at the same time fun, it helps people keep interested in it," said Commander Mike Bilzor, professor in the Computer Science Department at the U.S. Naval Academy and one of several faculty mentors at this year's Cyberstakes competition. "It's less like homework, less like classwork, and it's more fun, more interesting."
The U.S. Military Academy took home the top prize this year, winning 15 gold, 12 silver and eight bronze metals in total. They were trailed by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, who won three gold, six silver and 11 bronze metals, and the U.S. Naval Academy, who won eight gold, seven silver and three bronze.

Hiroshi Senju solo show
At World's End
Nov 9 - Dec 9, 2017
Opening reception
November 9, 6:30 - 8 PM

Hiroshi Senju to receive the Isamu Noguchi Award
The Award will be presented at the Noguchi Museum's Annual Benefit on Tuesday, May 16th.
They may look simple, but Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju's sublime waterfall and cliff paintings have an enthralling quality about them that transports the viewer right to the actual scene of the waterfall.
The internationally acclaimed artist speaks passionately about his views on art.
Inspired by the calmness of moving landscapes, Hiroshi Senju enlightens with Zen musings.
This wide-ranging exhibition examines the phenomenon of globalization where cultures are colliding and melding as never before through the work of forty-four painters, sculptors, photographers and installation artists who are exploring the notion of cultural boundaries. These emerging and established artists—who come from a vast geographical landscape stretching from the West to Asia to Africa—share a truly global perspective, both in their physical existence, living and working between cultures, and their artistic endeavors.
Japanese master Hiroshi Senju's Falling Water series of paintings is showing at Sundaram Tagore Gallery and Art Stage Singapore.
For me, it is a testament of courage and class when a gallery chooses a solo show for an art fair. Most booths are full with a cacophony of artists, some well curated, others not, but the vast majority are from a group of artists. After all, fairs are places to sell and more artists attract more buyers.
So, when I discovered Whitestone Gallery from Tokyo tucked away at the back of Abu Dhabi Art with a gorgeous solo show from Hiroshi Senju, I knew I would be giving them coverage.

7 pages in Cantonese
Inspired by the beauty of waterfalls, Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju speaks with Hong Kong Tatler about his passion to create beyond nationality and embracing art as a global practice.
The exquisite works in Hiroshi Senju's series "Cliffs," 2012—eleven mixed-media paintings, one triptych, all on mulberry paper mounted on board—appear to illustrate Lao-tzu's idea of Tao as a sort of universal flow or elemental flux informing all things.
Japanese painter Hiroshi Senju is best known for the serenity of his large-scale waterfall paintings that he has made since 1990. His recent cliff paintings that he has developed since 2007 articulate both artistic and metaphysical tension.
"Humans need to commune with the elements of nature and art at its best can provide such an experience of communion. Artists often reflect on nature and transform it into intensely condensed metaphors, poems, and songs.Through his sublime paintings, Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju has contemplated multiple facets of water, especially its fundamental power, for almost twenty years [...]n essence, he transforms solid materials from the earth to create images of elusive aquatic torrents."
Art historian Sundaram Tagore's doctoral thesis looks at Indian artists' response to European modernisation from the 1940s to 1980s. As a curator, however, his focus is more on the here and now. Hence the title of his gallery's latest group exhibition by 18 international artists, which opens today at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery's Hong Kong branch.
And Finally, after being interested in the sky, I discovered the waterfall. I felt something clicking as if I recognized some kind of DNA that I had in me, like a past memory. I find that a lot of people whether they are Europeans, Americans or Japanese have similar feelings towards waterfalls. I find that these emotions go beyond the boundaries East/West, or old/new. Once I understood what art was all about and that art should go beyond people's boundaries, it was very important for me to further explore that path.
"...Senju creates, from the most simple of low-tech means, cinematic spectacles that appear to be in motion. They are startlingly beautiful works - perhaps too beautiful, since we tend to be wary of beauty - and raise the question of optical trickery, although the trickery is completely transparent..."
"...His art reflects [this] geographical and cultural duality, for his approach combines ancient Japanese painting practices with modern Western imagery."

"My wife Kay and I came to Karen Bertamini as we knew Karen for a number of years not as a real estate agent but as our professional dog groomer for our dog Misty. We heard that Karen was also a Real Estate agent with Century 21 PowerRealty.ca and because we were so satisfied with the professionalisim and care and the trust that Karen demonstrated as a professional dog groomer we immeidately knew that Karen was the Real Estate agent for us because of her respect and trust she displayed to us.
My wife Kay and I can not say enough about Karen Ann Bertamini. Karen is a dedicated professional who has only the best interest of her clients in mind and she demonstrates a work ethic that to be honest is hard to find in professionals these days.
Therefore Kay and I would highly recommend to any person who is actively looking for a real estate agent to contact Karen Ann Bertamini at the offices of Century 21 PowerRealty.ca. She gets results in an efficient and timely manner.
Thanks for everything Karen Ann.

SEATTLE -- With the combination of size and speed at the receiver position throughout the Pac-12, Washington coach Steve Sarkisian wants to bring in long, athletic cornerbacks who can run.
That is exactly the kind of player the Huskies think they have secured in cornerback Travell Dixon.
"He's obviously got great length at the corner position," Sarkisian said. "He has tremendous speed, which are two things we're continually looking for at that spot. Ideally, we're recruiting 6-foot-or-taller corners who can really run to defend the length in our conference, as well as the speed.
The 6-foot-1, 191-pound Miami native is now practicing with Washington after transferring from Alabama.
"In our conference, the more corners, good corners, you have, the better," Sarkisian said. "Getting a guy with some experience for next year, as we lose Tru (senior Desmond Trufant), I think will be good for us."
After spending two years at Eastern Arizona College, Dixon enrolled at Alabama in January, but he didn't find the fit he was looking for in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
"Things didn't work out, and we had a scholarship available," Sarkisian said. "We were able to get him in academically and it fit that way, so we got him on board."
Washington was interested in Dixon before he enrolled at Alabama, but the Huskies weren't sure how much of a need they had at the position.
"He probably would have been a real, real priority for us if it wasn't for Tre Watson and what he brought and what we saw out of him," Sarkisian said.
While Dixon has to sit out the 2012 season, he will provide a veteran presence with Watson next year. With 6-foot-2 cornerback Kevin King (Oakland, Calif./Bishop O'Dowd) committed to the 2013 class, Washington continues to work on bringing athletes into its secondary who are as tall as they are fast.

Does the West Bank of Jefferson Parish Serve the Best Louisiana Gumbo?
Lafitte's Landing has only been open for a little over six months in Harvey, Louisiana, which is less than 10 miles from Downtown New Orleans. The restaurant is part of the Tusa Restaurant Group which is a local family of restaurants. They have a pizza restaurant and a seafood bar & grille in Destin, FL, a sports bar and lobster and seafood restaurant along the Mississippi River in New Orleans and a beautiful restaurant in the French Quarter.
Lafitte's Landing Restaurant is a modern looking restaurant with a casual feel. They have only one gumbo which is a Louisiana Creole Seafood Gumbo. A cup will cost you $5.50 and a bowl will cost $8.
This is a dark roux gumbo that had a great Gumboroma. It also had plenty of good size shrimp and lots of crabmeat. This Creole Seafood Gumbo had a bunch of tomato along with a large amount of okra. If you've read my previous blogs (if you haven't, put that on your New Year's resolution), you know how I feel about okra in gumbo (slimy), but they cooked it down to the point that got rid of the slime. The seasoning level was very good and it left me with a nice after burn. The rice was served hot but, as usual, it didn't do anything to enhance the taste of the gumbo.
