Discussion in 'Tennis Tips/Instruction' started by Hondasteve, Feb 9, 2009.
Well for one, listen to Djokovicfan. He always has good tips for serving. But, I am pretty sure he will say keep your tossing hand and serving hand together. They should go up together, and come down together. Also, seems like your making good use of your legs, so thats always a good thing
I actually watched the whole 2:40, and I NEVER usually watch more than 10 serves.....
Excellent motion, good pace, some spin applied even thos the toss is correct for flat serves. Hence the slower arc'd path and high bounce.
This might seem wierd, but it appears your netted serves are a result of an inconsistent toss farther BACK than normal. You might be compensating and flicking your pronation sooner to account for the errant toss.
A little more forward movement into the court would add some pace, but maybe the toss is the problem right now...
How high is the camera mounted? Seems like 5' or so.
-turn your shoulders more
-more wrist "snap"
- try tossing a little higher and hitting at highest point
- Keep your non-hitting arm up longer. You pull it down which causes your head to come down.
overall you have a nice serve with room to improve.
good luck
Yep, about 5'. You are correct - was trying to toss farther back on the misses. I was going for more topspin...an inconsistency of mine.
Excellent - thanks.
A topspin (slight, almost dead ball) first serve is very consistent and really bounces high. I turn my body more sideways, in addition to a farther back toss, in addition to a bit of handle rotation from pure conti towards a bit of backhand. All give that deadball POP.
You know we are all built differently. I won't comment on technique unless it's a glaring fault. Yours is fine. We don't want to serve like USPTA clones.
good observation, Lee. The basket had mostly duds - 2-3 months old
yes.....? hello?
What kind of Honda?
I've had CR-125's, 250's, 500's, and even two Civics.:shock::shock:
I miss her...
I mainly raced TD-3 Yamaha's and a whole slew of motocross bikes in the late 60's thru early 80's.
Cool - I did some motocross, just for fun though. Mainly liked riding street.
If the camera was set up on your side of the court, it would be a lot easier to pick out the components of your motion's progression. Are you planning on posting any more video?
From what I can see in this footage, one essential that you can check on is the basic direction of your forward momentum into the court. Your target is the ad box, but your momentum carries you over toward the deuce box and even the net post to our right/your left. With a more efficient motion, your movement ought to be in the general direction of where you're sending the ball.
Awww, isn't that precious?
Can't watch the video on OSU's computers; will check it out when I get back to the house.
You should come out of your serve the in the direction your shoulders are facing... if not, the hips and shoulders are "working" against each other.
Any estimate on speed?
You know I"m obsessed with the height of the bounce on the backboard is one of the indicators for ball speed.
Several other indicators needed, of course. Height of strikezone, how flat hit, technique and size of server, court abrasiveness, kind of ball and condition of.....
But overall, you hit with some amount of spin. You will probably gain another 5-10 mph if you can flatten it out, producing that audible POP sound.
As a guess, I'd say as is, well over 100.
One big problem is that your serves are not consistent. When I go hit 40 serves, I can usually string together IN serves, all flat and faster than 110, at least 3-5 at a time with less misses, then another string of multiples that go IN.
Most fast serve contests, they only give you a total of 7 serves, so you better get them in at least 50%.
Yes, the cold takes away some serve speed.
I have trouble estimating just by watching a video, but I think some of those serves were close to 100mph. You have a lot better pop than some of the other videos I've seen.
You're bringing that tossing arm down way too early.
Anyone else? I am going to try and shoot some new video this weekend for more critique. Next round will be from behind with me in full frame.

It's official: Zebra mussels confirmed in Lake Lida
It's now official: according to a news release from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the presence of zebra mussels in North Lida Lake has been confirmed.
Late last week, DNR crews searched the lake near Pelican Rapids and discovered two zebra mussels about a half-mile from the location where, earlier this month, a lakeshore resident found a can with two adult zebra mussels attached to it in front of a private lake access.
Based on their size, the press release states, the newly discovered mussels are at least 2 years old, "which suggests there are at least two different year classes in the lake and both are of reproductive age."
"The zebra mussel veligers, or larvae, are in the lake and can disperse to new areas downstream," said Joe Eisterhold, DNR Northwest Region aquatic invasive species specialist. "If zebra mussels have been present in North Lida Lake for several years, the veligers are possibly already in South Lida and Venstrom lakes."
The DNR will now designate North Lida, South Lida and Venstrom lakes as infested waters and signs will be posted at all public accesses. That does not mean each lake is confirmed to be infested, but rather that zebra mussels have been detected in a lake accessible by boat from those accesses and spread is likely between those connected waters.
Lake Detroiters President Barb Halbakken Fischburg, who was one of two Detroit Lakes residents appointed to a new statewide Aquatic Invasive Species Advisory Committee this year by DNR Commissioner Thomas Landwehr, said this latest AIS infestation should serve as a wake-up call.
"It helps underscore the gravity of the problem, and how important it is to protect the lakes at the top of our watersheds," she said Thursday, referring to the fact that Pelican Lake and Lake Lizzie, both located nearby, were declared as being infested with zebra mussels in 2009.
"In the case of Pelican Lake, that watershed will drain all the way to the Red River in Breckenridge," added Halbakken Fischburg. "And we know there have been veligers found in the Red River there."
Once a lake has been declared as infested with one type of aquatic invasive species, it's even more important to remain vigilant, she added.
"Once a lake becomes infested, that's the time you need to be even more vigilant to protect it from other invasives," she continued, "because once it gets infested with one invasive, it starts altering (the lake's) natural ecosystem, and every time a new invasive is introduced, that ecosystem becomes more compromised."
Halbakken Fischburg also noted that there are other invasives, besides zebra mussels, "that can be equally or more devastating to a lake's natural ecosystem."
"It's not the time to give up (once a zebra mussel infestation has been declared)," she said.
While it's important to remain cautious, it's equally important to not panic every time a report comes in alleging that there are zebra mussels present in a lake or river, she added.
Halbakken Fischburg said she felt a recent report alleging someone had found zebra mussels in Detroit Lake was "not really news."
"We get these reports all the time, and we go check it out," she added, but so far the reports have proved to be unfounded.
Divers from the Department of Natural Resources spent several hours this past Monday and Tuesday in Detroit Lake looking for the mussels in the area where they were reported, but nothing was discovered, and Eisterhold said he felt the report was "somewhat suspect" because the divers did find things such as bladderwort (a native aquatic plant with bulbous projections) and small snails that might easily have been mistaken for zebra mussels by the uninitiated.
Another water body currently under investigation by the DNR for suspected zebra mussels is Lake Latoka in Douglas County, near Alexandria.
Lake Latoka will also be designated as infested, according to the DNR news release.
Earlier this month, a snorkeler found a 3- or 4-year old zebra mussel in the lake. DNR biologists recently searched the area near the find, but were unable to locate any additional zebra mussels. In this case, the DNR will designate this water as infested as a precaution until additional searches of Lake Latoka can be conducted.
"These designations mean that regulations, education and enforcement to limit the spread of invasive species will increase in these waters," said Eisterhold.
Anglers, boaters and other recreational water users are reminded by the DNR to take the following steps before leaving a water access:
- Clean boat by removing plants, zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species from watercraft, trailer, anchor and all water-related equipment.
- Drain water-related equipment (boat, ballast tanks, portable bait container, and motor) and drain bilge, livewell and baitwell by removing drain plugs. Keep drain plugs out and all water-draining devices open while transporting watercraft.
- Dispose of unwanted bait, including minnows, leeches and worms, in the trash. Plan ahead to save bait by transferring it to containers prefilled with bottled or purified tap water.
Keeping a boat out of the water for at least five days before moving from one lake to another is also recommended — but it may not be enough, noted Halbakken Fischburg.
"Research has shown adult zebra mussels can live out of the water for up to 30 days," she said, "and veligers can live in water for 27 days."
There are all kinds of "little nooks and crannies" in a boat or other watercraft where the mussels can hide, she said.
"We wish we had professional decontamination units available to the public," she continued. "When people go into infested waters, it's one of the best ways to ensure that you are not transferring invasives. But the state has not set up a system to make professional decontamination available to the public. It makes it really difficult for a lay person (to ensure against the spread of AIS), especially if they have a complex boat system.
"Education is really important, but that's not going to solve the program alone," she concluded.
More information about aquatic invasive species is available on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/AIS.

Letter: Buffalo's VA hospital provides excellent care
Buffalo's VA hospital provides excellent care
As one of the countless veterans who are patients at the VA hospital in Buffalo, I can attest to the excellent care provided by its medical staff. I can also cite the competence of the clerical and administrative personnel of that facility.
How unfortunate that a shadow has been cast over this entire program due to the malfeasance of the relatively few, who it is now apparent do not belong in such positions.
It is certain all veterans will soon be comforted in knowing that the well-deserved positive image will be restored to the system that for so long has given extended lifelines to the injured, the disabled and the ailing.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
Definition of Newton's laws of motion in US English:
Newton's laws of motion
Three fundamental laws of classical physics. The first states that a body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted on by an external force. The second states that the rate of change of momentum of a moving body is proportional to the force acting to produce the change. The third states that if one body exerts a force on another, there is an equal and opposite force (or reaction) exerted by the second body on the first.
- 'Therefore, when an atom emits or absorbs a photon, its momentum changes in accordance with Newton's laws of motion.'
- 'When we use Newton's laws of motion to predict how a body will move, we must specify its starting position and its starting velocity as initial conditions.'
- 'For example, Isaac Newton's laws of motion state that a body moving through empty space with no forces acting on it will go on moving in the same way.'
- 'The stunt draws upon a variety of physics theories including the conservation of angular momentum and Newton's laws of motion.'
- 'Kepler's laws led, in turn, to Newton's laws of motion, which laid the groundwork for modern physics and cosmology.'

Let's face it, most guys simply don't know what they are doing when it comes to beginning a conversation with a girl. I hear guys say all the time, "If only I could start a conversation I'd be good to go from there."
To be honest it is not your fault that you don't know how to properly approach women. Society often encourages individuality, and unfortunately some basic social skills get lost as a result.
What's worse is that the information that's already out there about how to begin a good conversation with a girl is absolute horse shit. I just read an article on this very subject on a popular blog devoted to men and dating skills. This site claims to be an authority for years…and their advice sucked.
The article advised guys to talk to talk to girls using open-ended questions so that the conversation will not die. One example was that if you see a girl in a coffee shop you should say, "what do you think of that mug?" The logic is that by asking what she thinks about it, it will guarantee she has a response. This is fine…if you're an idiot.
A Quick Opinion…?
Then there is the good old fashioned "opinion opener" where you go up to a girl and ask for her opinion as a female on some fabricated scenario that you read in a book. This technique will certainly demonstrate your personality to the girls you approach – a guy that is so out of touch with himself and reality, that you need a fake excuse to engage people in conversation.
Finally there is the "direct" approach to beginning conversations with women. This style advocates that you walk right up to a girl and tell her that you like her, or find her attractive and want her number. This is a little better than the previous options, but if this is your style you might prefer to just club her over the head and drag her back to your cave.
So what's the foolproof trick to begin a conversation with a girl? Right in the middle. "What the fuck does that mean?" you might be asking yourself. It is so simple that you will be shocked at how effective this is.
'Beginning in the middle' means that you should go up to the girl and just start talking as if you are continuing a previous conversation. Skip the introduction, skip the opening line, just jump ahead of it all.
When you do this, it really doesn't matter what you are saying. No matter what you say to her, it will be random and out of context – there is no way for it not to be.
But it will generate intrigue so fast it will make her head spin. She will be wondering if you two have met before, but she will not recognize your face. She may wonder if you have confused her with someone else.
Either way, she will drop her guard will want some sort of resolution to what is going on and her curiosity will drive her crazy. Now, instead of you trying to introduce yourself to her, she will already be trying to figure out who you are and what the hell you're all about…and your job just got that much easier.
From there the conversation has begun and you can even feel free to back up to the introduction stage. After this sort of first impression a proper introduction will be anything but boring.
Here is an example of how this would play out in a grocery store.
You: "Those apples are no good for making sangria."
Her: "Wtf???"
You: "Especially with a heavier wine it will just be too sweet to tolerate."
Her: "Do I know you from somewhere?"
You: "Oh sorry, I'm Greg."
From this point there is a ton of unanswered questions, such as "why the f#@k are you talking to me." This is a GOOD thing, and is at the center of what Rob talks about in The 4 Elements of Game. This sort of approach builds tension…fast. That tension will be released as the two of you fill in the missing pieces – together.
Now you have a reason to tell her that you thought she was cute, or explain that you wanted to meet her. But rather than simply throwing all your cards on the table, you can instantly and effortlessly add a layer of intrigue by simply 'beginning in the middle.'
You can then get right back to what you were talking about, giving you not only something to say, but also something to propose that you two go off and do together. In the example above, the obvious move is to suggest that you two go make sangria – after a brief introduction of course.
Now this is not the only way to begin conversations, but it is one great quick fix for guys looking for instant results with very little thought or effort.
Try it out and let me know what you think!

On both sides. Those wanting babies to die and those trying to stop them.
My dad's office was above the abortion clinic. The protesters were there on Tuesdays and Thursdays. One time, I went to see him with my girlfriend. When we came to the clinic door, she grabbed the handle, the protesters yelled and we kept walking past. It was pretty funny at the time.
That was pretty disingenuous of you. How do you know? Maybe they just don't like the thought of inconvenient babies' skulls being crushed for money.

...that great quote was from Shawn Chapman Holley, the attorney for Nicole Richie.
Driving while high on pot and Vicodin, with a suspended license, while on probation for an alcohol related reckless driving case gets you just over one hour in jail and that's being treated like any other inmate?
I think the other inmates might disagree.
And of course there's Lindsey Lohan who gets one day in jail, ten days community service, a fine, and 36 months probation for drunk driving and cocaine charges stemming from two arrests in four months time.
Another great example of "Equal Justice Under Law"

By the end of 2014, DB&A employees donated 285,649 miles which exceeded our corporate goal of 250,000 miles. These donated miles never expire and are never used for anything other than wish travel.
After spending more than a decade working for a much larger consulting firm, Lou DeWolff and Tim Boberg founded DB&A in 1987. The inspiration for this new company was their joint
realization that clients did not receive all of the benefits they had been promised by consulting firms - yet they were still expected to pay the consultant's full fee.
This inequitable situation convinced both men that a different kind of consulting company was needed, one that was smaller, more results-oriented, and could guarantee specific, measurable improvements from its proposals. The new firm would be guided by two important principles:
This was a radical concept at the time, since few other consultancies provided written guarantees based on results; yet to Lou and Tim, it seemed like the natural way for a consulting firm to operate.
In the years since, DB&A has achieved phenomenal growth based on the ability to consistently deliver savings promised to clients. In fact, approximately 70 percent of our revenues have traditionally come from repeat or referral work from existing clients. Today, DB&A is an organization of more than 200 full-time professionals.
With both parties vested in the outcome and with our mutually attainable goals established, the long-term engagement begins. If we don't meet our goals by the end of our set timeline, we'll either keep working until we do or refund fees based on the proposed return on investment.
In addition to identifying specific skills or processes that need to be integrated or improved, we provide one-on-one leadership coaching at the management level. We also provide skill coaching at all levels in order to optimize communication and inspire accountability across departments and job titles. This environment of accountability fosters "ownership" of goals and job tasks, empowers employees to perform at the highest possible levels, and lays a strong foundation for ongoing improvement. DB&A's intense focus on implementation - rather than merely providing advice or guidance - allows our clients to experience truly sustainable improvements in performance.
To sharpen their own skills, our Consultants openly give and receive feedback from and to peers and managers.
I have enjoyed learning from the talented individuals from varied backgrounds who have taught me much more than I would have expected in such a short period of time. In addition, we get exposure to multiple industries and work centers and consistently coach our clients to find and implement opportunities for improvement.-- Employee, Chanda F.
I love helping people become better at what they want to do professionally which often times can carry over to their personal lives. At the end of each project, when I lay my head down on that hotel pillow for the last night, I know I changed lives for the better.-- Employee, Nick A.Michael Jordan once said, "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." So, why I love this job is simple. I love it for the magic that is achieved through the hard work of a strong, smart, fun, dedicated team that works together to achieve magic.--Employee, Joy H.
I feel fortunate to have started a career with a company that I wholeheartedly believe recognizes potential in each of its employees. I know that DB&A has invested in me, and follows up regularly when it comes to personal development and growth. DB&A has built a strong support system at every level to maximize its own internal continuous improvement efforts.--Employee, Patrick F.

I have been working at DB&A full-time
Working for DB&A provides you the opportunity to learn a ton about yourself personally, and expand professionally in just a short amount of time. The work DB&A does is not easy, but it's extremely rewarding and humbling when you are able to see the impact it makes on the clients we work with. Being able to assist in changing the lives of individuals so that they can reach their full potential within their careers makes all the challenges worth while.
Some may see the extensive travel as a downfall, but if you view it as it being given the opportunity to visit new places and experience different industries a couple of times a year, then it won't be as much of a burden. DB&A does a good job of promoting a work-life balance by assisting with companion travel and keeping all travel points.
Advice to Management
Continue expanding on ways to invest in the talent within the company. Just in my short time with the company it is transparent that the company cares for their people, is passionate about potential and will do anything to make them successful.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DB&A (Dallas, TX).
Basic interview over the phone and then the second interview in person was at the airport lounge. By the 2nd interview they really wanted to know what questions I had and did not have many for me.

Gave me the offer and had to answer within two days.

Having made her American premiere at the Fort Lauderdale show, the Delta 88 Carbon is Delta Powerboats' sporty superyacht. And "sporty" describes not just this 85-footer's looks, but also her performance.
Since the 88 Carbon is semi-custom, owners can collaborate on the interior design. The yacht stateside has abundant teak for paneling and underfoot. True to her heritage—Delta Powerboats is a Swedish company—she exudes Scandinavian style. She exudes superyacht style, too, due to a few suitable creature comforts. The saloon contains a wine chiller with a 20-bottle capacity, for example. There's also the requisite television, a 55-inch screen. Even the master stateroom, below decks, has a glass/wine cabinet. The master and the guest staterooms all have heated towel racks and underfoot heating, too.
Since the 88 Carbon can be an owner-operator yacht, buyers will appreciate having an easy flow between relaxation areas and "work" areas. The galley is a good example. Rather than confine it within walls, Delta Powerboats and Lars Modin Design made it an open part of the saloon. (Should you prefer hiring crew, two hands can stay aboard.)
The construction and performance parameters, however, are perhaps the biggest pride for Delta Powerboats. "Carbon" in "Delta 88 Carbon" means that she's entirely carbon fiber. Not only does this save weight, but it also reduces fuel burn. In fact, the builder says, she burns about 40 percent less than comparably sized, traditionally built craft.
Carbon fiber is strong and sturdy as well—a quality the styling conveys, too. The 88 Carbon looks ready to take on serious cruising. The high bulwarks make moving along the side decks safer while underway. And the height of them forward, by the sunpad, keeps guests protected when lounging in cooler climes.
Whether in those cooler areas or warm ones, the yacht affords you good speeds. Triple Volvo Penta IPS 1200s permit a reported 37-knot top end. And, as mentioned above, fuel burn is quite good, too. Delta Powerboats says that at 32 knots, she consumes 87 gph. At 20 knots, it says, she consumes 45 gph.
Here's more of this flagship.

Azamara Club Cruises, the cruise line that is defining destination immersion, continues to grow with the steadfast support of the travel agent community. For the last three years, travel partners have embraced the concept of Longer Stays, More Overnights and Night Touring, and leveraged Azamara's unique value proposition. To recognize travel partners for their dedication to the up-market cruise line, Azamara is launching AzAmazed by You and offering a $200 commission bonus for each new booking made from Nov. 14 through Dec. 31, 2012.
"Azamara Club Cruises is grateful for the support that the travel agent community has shown us for the last three years," said Edie Bornstein, senior vice president of Marketing and Sales for Azamara Club Cruises. "AzAmazed by You is our way to express appreciation for our travel partners and the year-end bonus commission offer demonstrates our unwavering support of them. We also are going to personally meet with some of the travel partners who have been by our side through the years, and whose work has helped us expand Azamara's longer stays, more overnights and night touring, to include the new complimentary AzAmazing Evenings."
Azamara's unique destination immersion proposition offers an experience clients consistently rave about. By slowing down the ship and staying later or overnight guests are able to experience a country or cities' culture in ways a brief port call does not allow.
By continually evolving the brand with experiences like the new complimentary destination events ashore, AzAmazing Evenings, the cruise line is expanding its offerings and providing unique selling points for travel agents. A selection of complimentary spirits, wines and international beers in bars and lounges also begins with Azamara Quest and Azamara Journey's respective 2013 Europe season.
Travel agents are able to delve further into these unique Azamara offerings through Azamara's World Academy, CruisingPower.com or from their dedicated sales support team, always eager to assist. Client connections also are encouraged through the travel agent locater found on AzamaraClubCruises.com.
Guests aboard Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest currently enjoy more inclusive amenities, such as included gratuities for housekeeping, dining and bar staff; complimentary bottled water, soft drinks, specialty coffees, teas, and complimentary red and white boutique wines to accompany lunch and dinner, complimentary self-service laundry; English Butler service for suite guests; and shuttle transportation to city centers in ports, where available.
Azamara Club Cruises is a destination-immersive cruise line for up-market travelers who not only want to see the places and cultures they visit, but to live them. Azamara's two intimate, 694-guest ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, with a combination of 347 suites and staterooms, offer a European-boutique hotel ambience with extraordinary service, fine cuisine and wines from around the world, and wellness and vitality programs, all while sailing to a host of destinations larger ships cannot reach.

NEW YORK, Nov 27 (Reuters) - U.S. cash crude differentials were mixed on Wednesday with many traders away for a long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
The market largely ignored bearish data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showing the nation's oil inventories hit their highest seasonal level on record last week.
Crude oil inventories rose by 2.95 million barrels to 391.4 million barrels in the week to Nov. 22 after U.S. oil production hit a 24-year high above 8 million barrels per day, the data showed.
Domestic oil production recently exceeded imports for the first time in nearly two decades, according to the Department of Energy's data arm. Other government figures showed oil exports rose to 99,000 bpd in September from 66,000 bpd in August.
In the cash market, Light Louisiana Sweet for January delivery at St. James, Louisiana, traded at $3.40 and $3.45 over the front-month U.S. crude oil contract, about 20 cents higher than Tuesday levels, traders said.
West Texas Intermediate crude at Midland, Texas, traded for $3.50 and $3.60 a barrel under benchmark futures.
The government data had more effect on U.S. oil futures, which fell $1.38 to settle at $92.30. International benchmark Brent futures rose 43 cents to end at $111.31 a barrel.
Brent's premium to U.S. oil widened by $2 to a new 8.5-month high of more than $19 a barrel.

text: There must be a market for it otherwise Gopher software wouldn't be trying to launch one. My suggestion is get one to market before they do as theirs is taking a long tiime to come out. If it does sprayer calibration, billing, routing and estimating and it is portable to multiple OS's like Mac and Linux as well as windows you're onto something. I'd target the LInux community myself because this is a low profit margin business and people have less $ to throw around so if they can get a Linux computer from Wal-mart.com for roughly 1/2 the cost of a windows unit then it would really be attractive. Might I suggest trying to work with Linspire or Xandros companies to develop something like that.

We had a room overlooking the Adriatic Sea and it was wonderful. The room was lovely, the bathroom adequate (a little small) but clean and quiet. Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful. The breakfast room was small but they had another room for extra seating. The only thing I really did not like was all the stairs to get to the hotel. But it is a very hilly region so it is to be expected, I guess. As I am getting older, it becomes more difficult, so I just take my time and hold on to the railings.

"lack of cleanliness"
About: St Peter's Hospital (Chertsey) St Peter's Hospital (Chertsey) Chertsey KT16 0PZ
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
The staff were all absolutely wonderful and the medical care fabulous but the standard of cleanliness in paediatric A&E and on Oak ward was not good. The bed frames were dirty and needed a proper wash, the chairs were grubby, the floors were not washed properly and actually looked dirty and when I wiped the chair with a baby wipe the baby wipe came away grey. I cannot imagine the rest of the furniture was any cleaner.
I did see the nurses washing the mattress between the patients but no-one cleaned the bed frames
Response from St Peter's Hospital 4 years ago
We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the care and treatment provided by our staff, but also concerned about the issues you raise around cleanliness.
We would like to reassure you and others that this is not our usual standard and we apologise that you experienced this.
Our housekeeping team do follow strict cleaning procedures and rotas to ensure that all areas are kept to a high standard, but this was clearly not your experience and we will pass your feedback on and ask them to pay greater attention in the areas you mention.
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. If you have anything else to add or would like to discuss your experience in more detail please contact our Patient Experience Team on 01932 722612.

Media Watch
Express: More clubs join Sane race
HIGHLY RATED: Leroy Sane
Leroy Sane talk returns, a potential departure to Italy and speculation about loan signings from NYCFC…
Leroy Sane has been heavily linked with City since the opening day of the transfer window and ESPN reported yesterday in their blog about two Spanish giants joining the chase for the Schalke midfielder, a report that has been expanded upon by the Express.
James Gray writes: "Sane turns 20 today but has already been capped by Germany and linked with a move to the Premier League.
"Liverpool and Manchester City have both expressed an interest in signing the attacking midfielder, with Jurgen Klopp hinting that he would be looking to the Bundesliga for players to improve the Anfield squad.
"However, with Real Madrid also said to be interested in the player, reports in Spain are suggesting that Barcelona are taking closer interest in the player.
"Sane burst onto the European scene in 2015 when he scored one and set up the winner as Schalke beat Real Madrid 4-3 at the Bernabeu in the Champions League last 16.
James Gray
Daily Express
"And after that breakthrough moment, Sane has hardly looked back, providing four goals and four assists in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, a record which has seen the club slap a £40million price tag on their most prized asset."
News about a potential departure now and Gazzetta World are reporting that midfielder Yaya Toure could be set to link up with Roberto Mancini again at Inter.
There were initial rumours about the deal at the back end of December, with the report stating that the Ivorian could be seen as a replacement for Geoffrey Kondogbia.
Julian Cardillo scribes: "Dissatisfied with Geoffrey Kondogbia's performances to date, Inter are once more looking to Manchester City's Yaya Toure as well as targeting Sampdoria's Fernando in a bid to add more depth to their midfield.
"The Frenchman put in a lacklustre display in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sassuolo, giving the ball away countless times in the middle of the park.
"Beyond his poor performance over the weekend, the 22-year-old Frenchman has been unable to translate his pace, ball control, or physicality to an elite level and has struggled to cope with his price tag.
"For the Nerazzurri, who are hoping to qualify for next year's Champions League, waiting for Kondogbia to develop and find his form is not an option, especially considering he was purchased for €30 million.
"Therefore the Nerazzurri may be drawn to resume their pursuit of Toure, as it was Mancini who brought the midfielder to Manchester City from Barcelona in 2010."
And finally, ESPN are speculating about which NYCFC players could join City on loan during the off-season.
Their Manchester City correspondent Jonathan Smith lists five potential targets in the article, with Spanish striker David Villa amongst them.
Smith states: "Manchester City are not expected to make any big moves in the January transfer window after spending more than £150 million in the summer, bringing in the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Otamendi.
"But with the Blues still challenging for silverware in all four competitions, Manuel Pellegrini's squad will be stretched to the limit.
"They have already suffered major injury setbacks to captain Vincent Kompany and midfielder Samir Nasri while Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta and Wilfried Bony have missed large chunks of the season.
"Pellegrini could bolster his numbers by taking talent from sister club New York City."

Doctor Oz Cleanse in Review
There were some rough moments, but I've come away from the cleanse with some new fav recipes, one of which is the 'Vegetable Broth Soup.' The hubster has been downing it and he's not trying to cleanse a thing. I read a bad review of it on doctoroz.com so I was skeptical about how it would turn out, but it's a keeper. Maybe not the object of the most scintillating photo journalism, but a keeper.
I don't know if I would do this cleanse again or not. I am definitely going to keep the detox drink, the green drink, soup and salad in my regular diet, but the 2 days of detox left me backed up like the beltway at rush hour. Ok, it wasn't that bad – I've been going, but not with the clockwork precision and comfort to which I'm accustomed. I've diligently googled this and I understand that constipation is a common side effect of this type of cleanse, and that I'm experiencing it probably means it worked and things are recalibrating, but I found it to be surprising and uncomfortable.
TMI? Sorry but I want to share a lesson. I would plan on a high fiber, easy going diet the few days afterwards while everything is sorting itself out. All that talk about yogurt and probiotics? Fine, but just wait a few days before getting into that. Keep it simlpe and stick with the soup, oatmeal, wheat toast and fruit for a day or so and you might not achieve the gurgling cacophony that has been my gut for the past 18 hours.
My googling took me to some dietary fiber recommendations and while I consider myself to be a pretty 'healthy eater' I doubt I've been getting close to the suggested 25-30 grams per day (even more for men!). So I spent a little time plugging some of the foods that I've considered to be higher in fiber into myfitnesspal.com and nope – I couldn't be getting that much. Here are a few of the things I thought were really upping my fiber intake.. and they are, but not to the degree that I thought they were.
Nature's Path Blueberry Cinnamon Flax Oatmeal – 3g of fiber per serving
Ezekial English Muffin – 3g of fiber per half a muffin
Bob's Red Mill Flax Meal – 4g in 2 tablespoons
I will keep eating these things (Ezekial English Muffins are sooo delicious) because they have fiber and lots of other nutritional benefits, but I realize now that along with my green veggies, they're not providing enough fiber. Here are some of my usual menu items that I knew had fiber but they're higher than I thought!
an apple (with the skin) – 4.4g
an artichoke – 10.3
artichoke hearts – 2.8g in 6 hearts (good reason to make artichoke and spinach dip)
vegetable broth soup – 10g per serving
white bean and barley soup – 13g per serving!
Suffice it to say, I will keep making these soups. They have reasonable calorie counts, are inexpensive to make and get you to half the daily goal of fiber! Your gastroenterologist will be so pleased. (shout out Dad : )
Vegetable Soup
Yield: a big pot of soup
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour and some change
Total Time: about an hour and a half
This is adapted from the Vegetable Broth Soup recipe in the Doctor Oz 48-Hour Cleanse
1 red onion, chopped
2-3 celery hearts, chopped
1 bulb fennel, chopped or 1 Tbsp fennel seeds
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
2 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp caraway seeds
3 quarts of water
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
fresh parsley and oregano, chopped
- heat the olive oil over medium high heat on a large pot and add onion, celery, fennel, and mushrooms, stirring frequently
- when vegetables have softened, add garlic and cook about 30-45 seconds
- add paprika and caraway seeds (and fennel seeds if using) and stir another minute
- add water and cabbage and bring to a boil
- reduce heat and allow to simmer partially covered for about an hour

Guest lecture: Associate Professor Dr. Carlos Cotta: "Self-* Memetic Algorithms" 8.12.
SPEAKER: Associate Professor Dr. Carlos Cotta, Universidad de Màlaga
TITLE: Self-* Memetic Algorithms
ABSTRACT: Adaptability and resilience are two salient features of evolutionary and memetic algorithms, making a decisive contribution to the ultimate success of these techniques. In order to canalize and exploit these features, a long standing goal in the field has been endowing the algorithm with self-management/self-control abilities in order to react and readjust its behavior in response to the properties of the problem or to the nature of the computational substrate. Such abilities fall under the umbrella term of self-* properties. This talk provides an overview of recent research in this direction, particularly outlining different mechanisms to boost the resilience and performance of memetic algorithms in unstable computational environments.

the GOOD side of 2016
Let's face it, 2016 hasn't exactly been the best year. In fact, it's left many of us asking if this has been one of the worst years in history (spoiler alert: it hasn't). Really, 2016 hasn't been all bad. In fact, it's taught us to be a lot stronger.
In the spirit of positivity and welcoming 2017 with open (albeit exhausted) arms, here are some of our favorite memories from 2016.
1. There were a ton of fantastic movies, including Star Wars: Rogue One, Moonlight, Deadpool, Finding Dory, and many more.
2. People really enjoyed pretending to be mannequins. We even enjoyed the Mannequin Challenge at Paint Nite.
3. Paint Nite creative entrepreneur, Ric Yancey proved he could arm wrestle.
4. Joe Biden and President Obama memes started to circulate and we all realized how funny the Veep could be (at least in our own minds).
5. We threw a couple of pretty fun (and big) contests, including Paint Nite in Paradise and You Pin, They Win and had a blast giving away prizes to our customers.
6. We saw just how creative our customers and fans could be with our #ReigniteYourNite campaign.
7. We met an awesome artist who surprises people with caricatures while they're painting at Paint Nite.
8. We wanted to hug Ken Bone.
9. Our creative entrepreneurs and artists threw some amazing Halloween events.
10. We introduced some of our Plant Nite customers to the catwalk to show off their terrariums. #modelsinthemaking
11. We held some black light painting events to show off our fun side. If you haven't tried one yet, you really should.
So let's raise a drink to 2016 and send it on its way. Here's hoping 2017 brings more creativity, more fun, more friends, more nites out, and more cocktails. Happy New Year!

Ayade congratulates Onnoghen on appointment as CJN
Cross River State governor, Senator Ben Ayade, has described as putting a round peg in a round hole, the appointment of Justice Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria(CJN) by President Mohammadu Buhari.
Governor Ayade said the appointment of Justice Onnoghen, could not have come at a better time than now, especially given the needed reforms in the judiciary.
In a statement signed by the governor's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Chief Press Secretary, Mr Christian Ita, Ayade said: "We the people of Cross River State rejoice with you on your appointment as the Chief Justice of Nigeria. For us, this is another well deserved honour and recognition of your deep intellect, integrity and experience. There is no doubt that you will bring your expertise and ingenuity to bear on the administration of the justice system in Nigeria."
According to the governor, "Given your antecedent, Nigerians can be rest assured that the much needed reforms in the judiciary will take place during your time as CJN, even as you strive to uphold its independence."
While lauding President Mohammadu Buhari for considering yet another Cross Riverian for an appointment to such an exalted position as CJN, Ayade said: "I want to thank Mr. President, Mohammadu Buhari for finding our son, Justice Walter Onnoghen worthy of the exalted office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. Once again, His Excellency has demonstrated that he is indeed a President for all."

Dutch press review 27 May 2020: the Netherlands' relations with its former colony Surinam are under pressure as a former dictator looks set to take the presidency, the trial of Dutch-Argentinian 'death flight' pilot Julio Poch is on shaky ground, and the 'iceman' performs feats that are medically impossible.
Surinam election raises old colonial hackles It's not the upcoming Dutch elections that are making the headlines today, but rather the election result in the Netherlands' former colony Surinam. The country's former army chief Desi Bouterse looks set to take the presidency. His success at the polls puts "relations with Surinam under pressure," says De Telegraaf, pointing out that if the Netherlands gets its hands on him, Mr Bouterse will serve an 11-year jail sentence here for cocaine trafficking.
Meanwhile in Surinam, no one seems bothered by his drug conviction, a Volkskrant analyst explains. In the small Latin American country north of Brazil, the drug trial in his absence is being dismissed as political. In his election campaign Mr Bouterse has vowed to stand up to the economic dominance of Surinam's former colonial master.
De Volkskrant gets to the point. Dismissing Mr Bouterse's call for the "Dutch to go back to the Netherlands" as "nationalistic rhetoric", the paper comments that "the electorate has a short memory". Throughout the 1980s Mr Bouterse headed a military dictatorship which disposed of political opponents in the infamous December murders of 1982, and committed atrocities in its conflict with Jungle Commando rebels. Yet now, de Volkskrant concludes, he's looking to "join the school of Hugo Chávez".
Mr Bouterse won't be getting a telegram with congratulations from the Dutch government, according to a Christian Democrat pundit in Protestant daily Trouw. And according to populist de Telegraaf, he certainly can't expect a visit from the Queen. Somehow it doesn't seem likely that Mr Bouterse will be too concerned.
Labour leader still failing to impress During campaign days there's no escaping the Dutch election, of course, and the papers analyse the latest in a series of televised party leaders' debates. Labour leader Job Cohen failed to make up for his poor performance so far, according to rightwing De Telegraaf, in what the paper describes as his "last chance". Polls show the labour party dropping even further behind the conservative VVD, which continues to lead the field.
De Volkskrant says Mr Cohen looked "tense and uncertain". Trouw is more generous, describing his performance as 'reasonable'. AD describes the debate as an old-fashioned "left against right debate" with the Socialist Party and Green Left clubbing together to lend Mr Cohen their support. De Volkskrant goes further, concluding that the battle to lead the left is on, with the Socialist Party and Green Left fronting the attack on the rightwing parties.
Both Trouw and de Volkskrant agree it was the inexperienced new Socialist party leader Emile Roemer who pleased the crowd. Confronted by his party's woeful position in the polls he cheerfully parried, "You can accuse me of anything, but not that I've peaked too early."
'Social partners' make pensions deal Today's front pages produce a sense of déjà vu. A deal on state pensions is in the offing. The 'social partners' the telling Dutch term for employers' organisations and trade unions have agreed the retirement age should go up to 66. But wasn't this all thrashed out in 2009 when the retirement age was set to rise to 67? Well, that was before the government collapsed, and now it's all up for debate again until after the election. And the employers and unions are insisting that the new government adopts the pension deal they've just hammered out, says de Volkskrant.
According to their scenario, it will still be possible to stop work at 65 if you pay a penalty. And the state pension will be pinned to the national standard of living – a key union demand. The deal is also good news for employers, says De Telegraaf. The plan proposes that pension premiums should be frozen at recent levels. And the icing on the cake is that it would achieve the target of a four billion euro government budget saving. But don't hold your breath – there are a lot more column inches to be filled before future Dutch pensioners find out what retirement really has in store for them.
Arrest of 'death flight' pilot 'a blunder' Defence lawyers for Dutch-Argentinian alleged 'death flight' pilot Julio Poch are about to rip charges against him to shreds, De Telegraaf claims, having examined court reports.
The former Transavia pilot is on trial in Argentina accused of piloting flights from which opponents of the military regime were dropped alive into the sea. But De Telegraaf says he unsuccessfully applied for a transfer in 1980 "to get experience with aircraft with more than one engine" in preparation for a future career in civil aviation. The 'death flights', however, were carried out using cargo aircraft, all of which have more than one engine. Logbooks confirm Mr Poch only flew single-engine planes.
What's more, one of the witnesses who claimed to have heard him bragging about the flights has said he will now refuse to take the stand. Another has been rejected as his evidence was ruled to be hearsay. Mr Poch's arrest and extradition seem to have been a "huge blunder", says De Telegraaf.
Iceman is a 'medical miracle' 'Iceman' Wim Hof spent 90 minutes submerged naked in ice cubes last week. It's a feat he performs regularly, but this time he was scrutinised by two scientists. Their conclusion, according to De Telegraaf: "medically impossible". A physiology professor concluded that "Hof seems to be able to influence his nervous system" and "consciously open and close his blood vessels". Mr Hof maintains his body at 37 degrees Celsius under the ice, and doesn't even shiver, the paper reports. What's more, for days afterwards in the lab his blood sample behaved differently from normal blood.
In a further experiment, Mr Hof is planning to teach his technique to ten volunteers, AD explains. "We can all do more with our immune systems," he claims. "I want to help humanity."

Half of my beeminder goals are binary, in the sense that the data I'm tracking is a yes/no answer to the question "did I do the thing [leave the house, do laundry, etc] today?" Thus the only datapoint I ever add is "1", to indicate I did, in fact, do the thing. Now that autofill is dead (long live autofill), I have to click the "+" and submit every time I want to mark the thing as done, which doesn't sound like much, but I have hand problems, so I try to avoid mouse movements as much as possible.
Does anyone else have goals of this format? If it's a reasonably common goal type, it might be worth considering adding a "checkmark" goal type to the current list of goal types, where hitting "Add Progress" would always just add one to the graph.
Or just default the value to 1 for any goal with aggday = binary or aggday = count.
Another characteristic I'd expect of a "checkmark" goal is for integery to be turned on by default.
Little bit off topic: Is that (= making a goal integery) btw. something I can activate now as an infinibee? And how?
You need custom goals for that, which is a feature of Bee Plus at $16/mo. Though it's much cheaper the more you buy, as I'm sure you've seen on the premium page.
I also have goals in which I add an explicit zero or one, for which pressing the – rather than the + would be handy.
For goals where I only ever enter one at a time, I used Push by Zapier, a google chrome extension. Adding one to a goal required two clicks from anywhere in the browser (less than 2 clicks/goal if writing to multiple goals at a time). I was happy with it for a while, but I did stop using this process, because I had to sign in to Zapier more often than was worth it for the number of goals (two) I was updating there, and I found the andriod app to be just as easy.
Can also use the IFTTT button to make adding 'the usual' datapoint a quick exercise.
Our Android app also supports widgets, but as an iPhone person I can't check whether they also make it super-simple to add a +1.
The desktop widgets that are part of the Beeminder Android app make this quite nice: you can make the default amount be +1 and then it's 2 taps from the desktop (once to open the goal, again for the submit button).
The IFTTT button is especially slick and can be one tap right from the desktop.

What Clients Say
The Leadership Center for Excellence has been phenomenal for A-SPAN, providing us with recognition, connections that lead to impact, courage to think outside of the box, and perspectives of other sectors that have improved our teamwork and service delivery.
You have been a tremendous asset and this would not have come together so well without your guidance and support. I appreciate all you do for us! It is great to have the plan in place and will be even better to see the objectives met over the coming years.
I really like the practical information we received: The models and tools, effective question formats and question examples, elements of planning and conducting a mentor visit (the 'buckets'). It was especially nice that the models are easy to use and understand – no heavy-duty training or certification required in order for us to use these with others and explain how they work.
I must say, that was the best thing that ever happened to A-SPAN. The board came alive, and all else seemed to fall into place. Strategic planning is another thing that I really saw as a game changer with my time at A-SPAN.

The Healthy IL Campaign for Healthcare and Immigrant Justice!
Nearly 526,000 undocumented individuals live in the state of IL. Every year hundreds of them are denied basic medical coverage simply because they are undocumented. The Healthy IL Campaign will fight to change this. Expanding health insurance coverage to all Illinoisans not only saves lives; it also benefits the entire state by promoting positive health care outcomes, family financial stability, and a more secure IL economy.
Our state has demonstrated great leadership in issues of immigrant justice before. Now is the time for us to push back against hateful and anti-immigrant hysteria rhetoric by uniting to fight for concrete improvements in the lives of immigrants within our state. The Healthy IL Campaign provides us with an invaluable opportunity to do this!
The Healthy IL Campaign public rally launch will take place Monday, September 28th at 6:30 PM at the Providence of God Church (717 W. 18th St). We hope that you will join the CRLN and the rest of the Healthy IL Campaign for this very important event.
For more information about the Healthy IL Campaign, how to get involved, or how to catch up with the CRLN and its Immigrant Welcoming Congregations at the public launch reach out to Liz Castillo at firstname.lastname@example.com. The Healthy IL Campaigin one-pager is also for download here.

Today I have three recommendations for your CCR methods. For methods that are public interfaces to components I would recommend methods that returns ports like this:
1: public PortSet<ResultType, Exception> DoSomething()
This makes it easy for the consumer (yourself or other developers) to just call the method and then use the port returned. As a consumer I do not need to know how to create the port needed and I think that is convenient. It also means the implementation may complete synchronously or asynchronously. As a caller I don't really care.
For internal helpers I however tend to use the following two variants:
1: private IEnumerator<ITask> DoSomething(PortSet<ResultType, Exception> resultPort) 2: private void DoSomething(PortSet<ResultType, Exception> resultPort)
The first one should only be used if the method itself needs to yield return. If it ends up having a yield break in the end just to pass compilation you should go for the second variant. However if the method is part of an interface definition I always use the first (iterator) variant.
So wait you may think. isn't an interface public and hence should have the variant returning a port? And the answer is yes, if the interface is public. But if the interface is internal and it may make sense to treat it as an internal helper.

Jai Ho!
Jai Ho! It means "May you be victorious" or "victory to thee" in Hindi. It serves as a good war cry or motivational mantra, so to speak. Yet, in some people, this persevering, high-achieving, go-getter mindset is already built in.
I am one of these people. I have that killer instinct, that fighter's heart, that alpha mentality for things I consider with high regard that propels me to greater heights. It's the same fighting spirit that the gamest fighting cocks have who will pour it all out until their very death. It is one of nature's prime laws that allows the strongest, the smartest, the brightest, the cream of the crop to rise and pass on their genes. As in my case, even at the high risk of burn-out, I will push myself to the limit so as to burn brightly and to the most powerful degree.
Yet, even more than that, in the human it can be a natural instinct infused with burning emotions. Perhaps there is a yearn for a person, a place, a thing, a dream... Such aspects of our disposition--like motivation, perseverance, character, mindset, faith, hope, etc.--determine whether we will reach our goal or not. These are deciding factors on whether you will get what you want and keep what you have.
This is my last post before reaching the urban jungle of the Pearl. It is a testament and reminder of my zealous mental state and fervid fighting spirit. But also, it is an unleashing of my creative energy. I have an interest and passion for a variety of things, and I am free at this particular moment in time to allow these to bloom and flourish, while at the same time, keeping in mind that my main quest remains to seek success and victory in the Pearl of the Orient.
Our fate isn't set in stone. We have the ability to shape, choose, and chase our dreams--our destiny. So in the spirit, "May you be victorious," or in Hindi, "Jai Ho!"

"Sooooooo Good!!!!!"
Excellent story, great characters, I did not want to stop listening. This is more of a YA fantasy, with the main characters being 15 and 16, but there is a lot to keep your attention. This story does not have as much political intrigue as some fantasy so the story moves along quickly. I am going right on to book 2. I am totally hooked.
"A Great first book!"
I don't usually write reviews, but for this book I needed to make an exception!
I was a little put off at first as the book seemed to have started very slow, I stuck with it though and ended up not being able to stop listening. The character development is awesome you come to truly enjoy being with each character. And when the book ended I rushed to find the next one, only to find it won't be released on Audio until the End of October. Simply but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cant wait for the next one.
"Wonderful Fantasy with Memorable Characters"
Yes, Always something you miss the first time.
This was a wonderful fantasy with memorable well developed characters who have their own unique personalities. There is a lot of time shaping the world and politics of the setting. The plot is constructed of several subplots that will at some point diverge together. It is fast paced and still able to deliver intimacy with the characters. I thought of it as a combination of Aladen and Eragon. This book 1 does not end at all but just sets up and stops. You are forced to seek out the next book immediately. I recommend to anyone who enjoys a great fantasy.
"great book"
it was a great book to listen to. Found this after listening to Flame Caster. The reader was enjoyable to listen to and the story was easy to get into. Fell in love with the characters and their struggles pull at your heart strings. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series
"good book, but didn't like the narration"
had a good story, just took a little wile to get into it and get my imagination changing the voices instead of the narrator
Stefan Rudnicki or some one of his capabilitys
"It was awesome!!!"
I am 11 years old. I had to read this book for summer reading at my school. It really helped me understand the book as I read it. I made a 100, all 20 points on the AR test. I recommend it because it is a really good story.
The demon king is slow to start, but amazing when you get into it. A series of tragities and hope woven into a wonder full story.
The world, events, culture and even the clothing in this book are amazingly detailed. you know exactly what ever scene looks like.
The work that went into this book is almost the same as that of Lord of the rings by, J. R. R Tolkien. The writer Obiously knew exatctly what his little world looked like before he ever started writing the thing.
my only regret was the death of "cuffs" family... but I'm sure it was essential to the plot.
I'm looking forward to reading the second book in this series!
"good start to a great series"
I give this 4.5 stars really. while my least favorite of the series this book is still very good and is made that much better by it's excellent narration. well worth a listen for any fantasy lover.
"Great story, great performance!"
Great story, great performance! The accents could have been a little more consistent... but besides that, it was completely captivating and entertaining!

Time magazine recently told a paradoxical tale: Some young men who have been in the habit of viewing pornography since their early teens claim they're unable to have sex with real women.
The politically correct narrative is that you can't get too much sex and pornography stimulates your interest. That may be true for some people, but for the men in this article, porn is a sex killer they were unable to get aroused by naked women they liked and they experienced erectile dysfunction.
"A growing number of young men are convinced that their sexual responses have been sabotaged because their brains were virtually marinated in porn when they were adolescents," writes author Belinda Luscombe in the April 11, 2016, article.
"These young men fell like unwitting guinea pigs in a largely unmonitored decade-long experiment in sexual conditioning. The results of the experiment, they claim are literally a downer."
The article cites research indicating that while the use of pornography has skyrocketed since the early 2000s, the number of men under 40 reporting erectile dysfunction has increased. Whatever the causes, what was more an older man's problem has moved down the age scale.
Philip Zimbardo, a professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford University, told Time that pornography has addictive potential, becoming more and more a consuming interest. "And then the problem is, the reward centers of your brain lose the capacity for arousal."
Porn users, like consumers of drugs, have to seek stronger dose" in this case, more novelty, more variety, to get the same high.
Not everyone agrees, of course. Mike Stabile, communications director for the Free Speech Coalition, the adult-entertainment trade association, said, "There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of reputable science" about the issue.
But the men who say they have experienced this sexual difficulty can't be convinced there isn't a problem. They aren't anti-sex and come from a wide variety of backgrounds and beliefs from atheists to devout men whose faith condemns pornography and sex outside of marriage ("You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY'; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."Matthew 5:27-28).
Alexander Rhodes, a former porn user and founder of NoFap.com ("fap" is slang for masturbation), that works with men facing this issue, said, "Quitting porn is one of the most sex-positive things people can do."
That means cutting out pornography and the self-stimulation it involves. For some men, the reward may to be more sexually active with women, but for others, to regain a real sex life with their wives.
When I saw this article, I said to myself, "This is common sense." Continual habituation to a parade of anonymous naked bodies with a wide range of poses and a multitude of sex acts, usually coupled with frequent masturbation, cannot help but have a deadening effect. Sex there is essentially a solitary, detached event.
Little wonder that a young man's body does a "ho-hum" when confronted real women.
Following my distillation, readers might want to peruse the lengthy but informative cover story, "Porn and the Threat to Virility," at the newsstand, library or online.

Helen Windship Brooks is struggling to find herself at the world-renowned Harvard-Radcliffe University when brooding German poet Wils bursts into her life.

From Harvard's hallowed halls to Belgium's war-ravaged battlefields, The End of Innocence is a powerful new vision of finding love and hope in a violent, broken world.
Includes an afterword read by the author.

I expected more from this story. It was just a romance, dressed up to be a "gritty" WWI drama. Also, this narrator is not one of my favorites. Sorry, this one isn't very good.
