Are There Broader Implications of the Supreme Court's EPA Ruling?
CEI Staff
"In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court blocked the Environmental Protection Agency's mercury and air toxics standards, charging that the administration failed to adequately consider the estimated $10 billion it would cost utilities to dramatically cut power plant pollution to comply with the measure," reported The Washington Times yesterday.
While the question has been raised about the broader implications of the court's decision on other EPA regulations, CEI's William Yeatman, says there is not much broad impact.
As Reuter's Lawrence Hurley reported:
"'The agency must consider cost - including, most importantly, cost of compliance - before deciding...
U.S. Supreme Court to Take on Government Union Power
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court granted cert to a case that could give all public employees right-to-work protections. If SCOTUS rules in favor of the plaintiff, California teacher Rebecca Friedrich, government unions would lose their power to compel non-members to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
Reimagining Surface Transportation Reauthorization: Pro-Market Recommendations for Policy Makers
Today, CEI published my white paper, "Reimagining Surface Transportation Reauthorization: Pro-Market Recommendations for Policy Makers." In it, I lay out the case for making some small but important changes to federal surface transportation policy.
Traditionally, free market fiscal conservatives have advocated for devolving all federal highway and transit programs to the states. To be sure, we at CEI support this eventual goal. Unfortunately, it is wholly unrealistic at this time. But there are still things that can be done to move closer to this direction. We suggest a strategy of "de facto devolution," which basically involves keeping federal spending steady while increasing the flexibility of states to fund and finance their own highways. To...
5 Reasons Why It's Time to Close the Ex-Im Bank
The clock is ticking on the Export-Import Bank's upcoming reauthorization. For the larger part of the past eight decades, Ex-Im's existence has continued unchallenged and generally conceded as just another example of "the way Washington works." However, this year is different. Bipartisan support for closing Ex-Im, and ending its crony practices, has grown to an all-time high. Here are the top 5 reasons why it's time to finally close the Ex-Im for good.

The big news from last week was the Supreme Court's King v. Burwell decision, which upheld the IRS' right to issue regulations directly contradicting legislation passed by Congress and signed by the president. But other agencies also issued more than 60 new regulations covering everything from cotton farmers' conduct to infant formula.
So far in 2015, 1,511 final regulations have been published in the Federal Register. At that pace, there will be a total of 3,071 new regulations this year, which would be several hundred fewer rules than the usual total of 3,500-plus.
Last week, 1,343 new pages were added to the ...
Supreme Court Rewrites Obamacare, Again
This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled for the Obama administration in King v. Burwell, upholding the legality of health insurance tax credits for people in the 36 states that haven't set up insurance exchanges under Obamacare. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the Court, while Justice Antonin Scalia dissented, joined by Justices Alito and Thomas.
Unlike the major Obamacare case decided by the Supreme Court in 2012, NFIB v. Sebelius, today's decision in King doesn't concern the law's constitutionality. Instead, the case challenged an IRS regulation interpreting the meaning of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—better known as Obamacare. The law says that many low- and middle-income Americans can get "...
Kudos to Rep. Tom McClintock for His Principled Stand
Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of TSCA reform (H.R. 2576) by a roll call vote of 398 in favor, one opposed, and 34 members not voting. Yesterday, I lamented the fact that this bill was pushed through under suspension of the rules, which is supposed to be for low-cost, non-controversial bills, which is something that TSCA reform certainly is not.
In any case, the issue is very complicated, and I am willing to bet money that many of those members who voted yea could offer few details about this legislation, what it does, or what the impact might be, which to some extent...

Suspending Reason to Pass "TSCA Reform"
The process of lawmaking is often compared to sausage making: an unpalatable job that produces a palatable result. It's easy to agree with the first part of that analogy, but in politics, the result isn't always pleasant.
Today, U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to "suspend the rules" and pass its version of reform to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This cursory approach is another example of the suspension of reason that has plagued the entire TSCA debate, the result of which remains ambiguous at best.


On the same night Donald Trump said "nobody has more respect for women than I do" — a comment that drew some laughs from the debate audience — the Republican presidential nominee slammed his opponent Hillary Clinton as a "nasty woman" during the third and final presidential debate.
Clinton did not reference Trump's remark.
Clinton: "What we want to do is to replenish the Social Security trust fund…"
The comment was immediately slammed on Twitter — with even Clinton's own Twitter account pointing out the irony of Trump earlier saying he had "more respect for women" than anyone else.
"Such a Nasty Woman" is one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs.
It's a brain that thinks "say she's such a nasty woman" and also thinks, "lean into the mic for it."
"No one has more respect for women than me."
For the record, Hillary soberly explaining Obamacare made Trump think she's "such a nasty woman."
I had a piece of bread in my mouth and I spit out crumbs when Trump said "such a nasty woman."
Dude had his one last chance to make a substantive argument against her, and he chose "such a nasty woman." Lord have mercy.

Bålsö kapell är en kyrkobyggnad på Bålsön utanför Hornslandet öster om Hudiksvall. Kapellet tillhör Hudiksvallsbygdens församling i Uppsala stift.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Kapellet byggdes 1603 och är det näst äldsta av fiskarkapellen i området. Det uppfördes av Gävlefiskarna, kanske tillsammans med fiskare från Hudiksvalls stad och andra orter. Kapellet står som enda byggnad kvar i den gamla hamnen som övergavs på 1840-talet. Kapellklockan har däremot flyttats till en stapel på prästkammarens vägg vid nya hamnen.

Inventarier
I kapellet finns nio bänkar på vardera sidan om mittgången. Runt om innerväggarna är girlanger målade och ovanför dörren två änglar och det allseende ögat. På norra långväggen sitter en mycket gammal målning föreställande Kristus på korset. I kapellet finns även ett votivskepp i form av en fullriggare på vilken finns angivet namnet Gabriel Söfström och årtalet 1772.

When Steven Covey first wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in 1989, email, the internet and mobile phones were not part of our everyday life. Fast forward quarter of a century and the world is a very different place at a very different pace.
Covey's seventh habit, sharpen the saw, is more important now with the ever-blurring lines between work and life. At Blacksmith our take on this is 'Creating Space in the Pace'.
To us this means lifting your head out of the day-to-day to unplug, reflect and refocus. Covey emphasised the importance of making the time to preserve and enhance the greatest asset you have – you!
Be deliberate! Book time out in your diary to reflect, recharge and refocus. It doesn't need to be hours at a time. Short and regular is better than lengthy and sporadic.
Be a role model! Make it part of 'how we do things around here'. Set the expectation that every member of your team will take time to unplug. Show them what good looks like by taking time for yourself.
Be on the lookout for opportunities! When a meeting finishes early don't rush back to the office or check email on your phone. Take the opportunity to walk through a nearby park or put on your headphones for a guided meditation (we're big fans of the Calm app).
Be discerning! Deciding how you use your time is the most important part of your job. If you view space in the pace as a high value task you're more likely to prioritise it.
Be generous with your time! Research shows that if you act like you have an abundance of time and you will actually start to feel like you have an abundance of time.


All abilities are considered but please give us an idea of your level of experience and what you would like to make when you get in touch. The time allocated will depend on the requirements of the project. Your slot may overlap with other users at different stages of the process.
All abilities considered but please let us know if you have any experience using design software or using a laser cutter.
Please describe briefly what you would like to use the laser cutter for.
Let us know if you would like to come on the 18th July or 1st August and what time would suit best.
We will only send you information relevant to our events and workshops. Your address will not be shared with any third party.

Histogram: You have to know the past to understand the present by Tomas Petricek, University of Kent
Programs are created through a variety of interactions. A programmer might write some code, run it interactively to check whether it works, use copy and paste, apply a refactoring or choose an item from an auto-complete list. Programming research often forgets about these and represents programs as the resulting text. Consequently, thinking about such interactions is often out of scope. This essay shifts focus from programs to a more interesting question of programming.
We represent programs as lists of interactions such as triggering an auto-complete and choosing an option, declaring a value, introducing a variable or evaluating a piece of code. We explore a number of consequences of this way of thinking about programs. First, if we create functions by writing concrete code using a sample input and applying a refactoring, we do not lose the sample input and can use it later for debugging. Second, if we treat executing code interactively as an interaction and store the results, we can later use this information to give more precise suggestions in auto-complete. Third, by moving away from a textual representation, we can display the same program as text, but also in a view inspired by spreadsheets. Fourth, we can let programmers create programs by directly interacting with live previews as those interactions can be recorded and as a part of program history.
We discuss the key ideas through examples in a simple programming environment for data exploration. Our focus in this essay is more on principles than on providing fine tuned user experience. We keep our environment more explicit, especially when this reveals what is happening behind the scenes. We aim to show that seeing programs as lists of interactions is a powerful change of perspective that can help us build better programming systems with novel features that make programming easier and more accessible. The data exploration environment in this interactive essay may not yet be that, but it gives a glimpse of the future.

Applied Category Theory - The Emerging Science of Compositionality
An enjoyable 25-minute introductory talk: YOW! Lambda Jam 2019 - Ken Scambler - Applied Category Theory (slides)
What do programming, quantum physics, chemistry, neuroscience, systems biology, natural language parsing, causality, network theory, game theory, dynamical systems and database theory have in common?
As functional programmers, we know how useful category theory can be for our work - or perhaps how abstruse and distant it can seem. What is less well known is that applying category theory to the real world is an exciting field of study that has really taken off in just the last few years. It turns out that we share something big with other fields and industries - we want to make big things out of little things without everything going to hell! The key is compositionality, the central idea of category theory.

Tensor Considered Harmful
Tensor Considered Harmful, by Alexander Rush
TL;DR: Despite its ubiquity in deep learning, Tensor is broken. It forces bad habits such as exposing private dimensions, broadcasting based on absolute position, and keeping type information in documentation. This post presents a proof-of-concept of an alternative approach, named tensors, with named dimensions. This change eliminates the need for indexing, dim arguments, einsum- style unpacking, and documentation-based coding. The prototype PyTorch library accompanying this blog post is available as namedtensor.
Thanks to Edward Z. Yang for pointing me to this "Considered Harmful" position paper.

Seven Sketches in Compositionality: An Invitation to Applied Category Theory
2018 by Brendan Fong and David I. Spivak
Category theory is becoming a central hub for all of pure mathematics. It is unmatched in its ability to organize and layer abstractions, to find commonalities between structures of all sorts, and to facilitate communication between different mathematical communities. But it has also been branching out into science, informatics, and industry. We believe that it has the potential to be a major cohesive force in the world, building rigorous bridges between disparate worlds, both theoretical and practical. The motto at MIT is mens et manus, Latin for mind and hand. We believe that category theory—and pure math in general—has stayed in the realm of mind for too long; it is ripe to be brought to hand.
A very approachable but useful introduction to category theory. It avoids the Scylla and Charybdis of becoming incomprehensible after page 2 (as many academic texts do), and barely scratching the surface (as many popular texts do).

"Three Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Designing Languages"
The transcript of Three Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Designing Languages, a talk given by Peter Alvaro somewhere or other, is up at Info Q.
Peter Alavaro's main research interest is in taming distributed systems. He starts his talk with the provocative thesis, "In the future, all radical new languages will be domain-specific languages." He talks of the evolution of his ideas about dealing with distributed systems:
Little interest by designers of programming-language designers in filling huge difficulty of debugging in context of distributed systems;
PLs often make handling of data somewhat implicit, even with functional programming, which he says is dangerous in distributed programming;
To talk about the flow of data properly, we need to talk about time;
Two things that influenced him as a grad student: Jeff Ullman's claim that encapsulation and declarativity are in tension, and Fagin's theorem (the existential fragment of second-order logic characterises NP);
Idea that distributed systems can be considered as protocols specified a bit like SQL or Datalog queries;
Triviality with query languages of characterising the idea of place in distributive systems: they are just another relation parameter;
Describing evolution of a system in time can be done with two other things: counters and negation, leading to Bertram Ludäscher's language Statelog. But this way of doing things leads to the kind of low-level overexpressive modelling he was trying to avoid;
"What is it about...protocols that they seem to require negation to express?" Turns out that if you drop negation, you characterise the protocols that deliver messages deterministically.
He summarises by saying the only good reason to design a programming language (I assume he means a radically novel language) is to shape your understanding of the problem. No regrets of being the only user of his first language, Datalist, because the point is that it shaped all his later thought in his research.

Selective Functors
From Andrey Mokhov's twitter feed:
Is there any intermediate abstraction between applicative functors and monads? And if yes, what is it? In a new paper with @geo2A, @simonmar and @dimenix we explore "selective functors", which are essentially applicative functors with branching: https://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/andrey.mokhov/selective-functors.pdf
We've implemented selective functors in Haskell: https://github.com/snowleopard/selective, OCaml: https://github.com/snowleopard/selective-ocaml, and even Coq: https://github.com/tuura/selective-theory-coq (the Coq repository contains some proofs of correctness that our selective instances are lawful). And there is also a PureScript fork!

The Little Typer
A new introductory book about dependent types, involving some familiar names:
by Daniel P. Friedman and David Thrane Christiansen.
Foreword by Robert Harper.
Afterword by Conor McBride.
An introduction to dependent types, demonstrating the most beautiful aspects, one step at a time.
A program's type describes its behavior. Dependent types are a first-class part of a language, and are much more powerful than other kinds of types; using just one language for types and programs allows program descriptions to be as powerful as the programs they describe. The Little Typer explains dependent types, beginning with a very small language that looks very much like Scheme and extending it to cover both programming with dependent types and using dependent types for mathematical reasoning. Readers should be familiar with the basics of a Lisp-like programming language, as presented in the first four chapters of The Little Schemer.
The first five chapters of The Little Typer provide the needed tools to understand dependent types; the remaining chapters use these tools to build a bridge between mathematics and programming. Readers will learn that tools they know from programming—pairs, lists, functions, and recursion—can also capture patterns of reasoning. The Little Typer does not attempt to teach either practical programming skills or a fully rigorous approach to types. Instead, it demonstrates the most beautiful aspects as simply as possible, one step at a time.

On compositionality
Jules Hedges has written a thought-provoking blog post, On compositionality where he connects the familiar idea of compositionality to the idea of emergent effects in nature, where systems can be understood as either having compositional properties or emergent properties.
The key point about emergent systems is that they are hard to understand, and this is as true for engineering as it is for science. He goes on to say "As a final thought, I claim that compositionality is extremely delicate, and that it is so powerful that it is worth going to extreme lengths to achieve it", so that avoiding emergent effects is a characteristic of good programming language design.
Some thoughts:
His examples of emergent systems are biology and game theory from an economic perspective. I would add to this list physics: of his co-authored paper showing that the spectral gap is undecidable, David Pérez-García said "For example, our results show that adding even a single particle to a lump of matter, however large, could in principle dramatically change its properties."
Spolsky's famous characterisation of interfaces built on shaky foundations as Leaky abstractions to me makes the distinction between compositional and emergent systems a little less than sharp.
We could talk endlessly about the list of what he regards as compositionality-breaking features of PLs. The evils of global state are well-documented, but I find dmbarbour's argument that Local state is poison a very interesting alternative way to look at what properties do we want from code; more generally, what kind of compositionalty PLs offer is very much paradigm dependent. Gotos are considered harmful, but the Linux kernel has little trouble with longjmp because of its mandated coding style: compositionality in engineering is a not just a matter of semantics but also of use. He targets OO and Haskell's type classes - I think he is quite correct - note that within these paradigms one can regain compositionality by restricting to LSP or algebraic classes, and supporting his thesis we see that these ideas have spawned ideas for the design of new, cleaner PLs.

History of Lisp
History of Lisp (The history of LISP according to McCarthy's memory in 1978, presented at the ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages Conference.)
This is such a fun paper which I couldn't find on LtU. It's about the very early history of programming (1950s and '60s), back when things we take for granted today didn't exist yet.
On taking apart complex data structures with functions like CAR and CDR:
It was immediately apparent that arbitrary subexpressions of symbolic expressions could be obtained by composing the functions that extract immediate subexpressions, and this seemed reason enough to go to an algebraic language.
On creating new data, i.e. CONS:
At some point a cons(a,d,p,t) was defined, but it was regarded as a subroutine and not as a function with a value. ... Gelernter and Gerberich noticed that cons should be a function, not just a subroutine, and that its value should be the location of the word that had been taken from the free storage list. This permitted new expressions to be constructed out of subsubexpressions by composing occurrences of cons
On inventing IF:
This led to the invention of the true conditional expression which evaluates only one of N1 and N2 according to whether M is true or false and to a desire for a programming language that would allow its use.
On how supreme laziness led to the invention of garbage collection:
Once we decided on garbage collection, its actual implementation could be postponed, because only toy examples were being done.
You might have heard this before:
S.R. Russell noticed that eval could serve as an interpreter for LISP, promptly hand coded it, and we now had a programming language with an interpreter.
And the rest is history...

Notes on notation and thought
(via HN)
A nice collection of quotes on notation as a tool of thought. Mostly not programming related, which actually makes them more interesting, offering a richer diversity of examples. We used to have quite a few discussions of notation in the early days (at least in part because I never accepted the prevailing dogma that syntax is not that interesting or important), which is a good reminder for folks to check the archives.

Q: How can I reformulate this multiplicative model as a linear model? I want to fit this models
$$
Y \sim D(μ, σ) \\
μ = X1 * (β1 + β2 * X2)
$$
(D is probably Gamma)
Y is 0 when X1 is 0, but the slope depends linearly on X2.
I can fit something close with the R formula Y ~ 0+X1:X2_c, where X2_c is a categorized version of X2, but I want to model it continuously.
(Sorry for the informative title, but I do not know what to call this type of model)

A: Your formula
$$
\mu = X1 * (\beta 1 + \beta 2 * X2)
$$
Is equivalent to
$$
\mu = \beta 1*X1 + \beta 2 * X1 * X2
$$
So I would propose creating a new variable, $X3 = X1 * X2$. Then you can use a typical R formula like Y ~ 0 + X1 + X3.

According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Lashley is rated No. 18 offensive tackle.
Lashley has the prototypical size for an offensive tackle. With Dominick Jackson moving on, Lashley could push for the starting job at right tackle.
Starting left tackle Cam Robinson is expected to go pro after next season which would open his spot for the 2017 season.
Including Lashley, Alabama has three offensive tackle prospects in its class. Jonah Williams is a five-star tackle prospect from California. Charles Baldwin is a four-star junior college prospect out of Brooklyn, N.Y. Both Williams and Baldwin enrolled in January.

Gonsalves ready to accept choice of Grenadian, Barbadian voters
19 Feb 2013 - 01:02AM
KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, Feb. 19, IWN – The second longest-serving head of government in CARICOM, St. Vincent's Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, says he is ready to work with whichever leader the electorates in both Grenada and Barbados select..
Grenadians will elect a new government today — Tuesday, with Prime Minister Tillman Thomas and his National Democratic Congress facing a tough challenge from the opposition New National Party, led by Opposition Leader and former prime minister, Dr. Keith Mitchell.
And, elections in Barbados on Thursday are expected to register "a painfully close finish" as Prime Minister Freundel Stuart and his Democratic Labour Party try to stave off the Barbados Labour Party, led by Opposition Leader Owen Arthur, a former prime minister.
"First of all, I make no comment about any of the elections. So, I am not agreeing with your thesis because I don't want anybody to say that I am supporting…" Gonsalves said last week in response to a reporter's statement that all indications point to a defeat for the incumbent parties in Grenada and Barbados.
"I think it doesn't matter which government is in Barbados. Both Stuart and Arthur and their respective parties are responsible and I will work with any of them … on all regional issues — CLICO, BAICO, LIAT, all the issues," Gonsalves said.
"The same thing with Keith Mitchell. When Keith was in office, I worked with Keith even though Keith Mitchell and [former prime minister Sir] James Mitchell here and Keith has links with the NDP. I never had any problem with working with Keith either. "
The New Democratic Party (NDP) is the opposition in St. Vincent.
"I mean, I work with Tillman too. I work with anybody who the electorate throws up. I may have my preference, which you may or may not know, but I work with anyone the system throws up," Gonsalves said.

Tunica (titlu original: The Robe) este un film american epic din 1953 regizat de Henry Koster și produs de Frank Ross. Prezintă povestea unui tribun militar roman care comandă trupele care l-au crucificat pe Iisus Hristos. Rolurile principale au fost interpretate de actorii Richard Burton, Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Michael Rennie, Dean Jagger, Jay Robinson, Richard Boone și Jeff Morrow.

Filmul a fost realizat de 20th Century Fox și este notabil ca fiind primul film CinemaScope cu ecran lat. Ca și alte filme CinemaScope anterioare, a fost filmat cu lentile originale Hipergonar (un dispozitiv anamorfic inventat de Henri Chrétien în 1926). Coloana muzicală a filmului a fost compusă de către Alfred Newman, iar director de imagine a fost Leon Shamroy.
Filmul Tunica  a avut o continuare, Demetrius and the Gladiators (Demetrius și Gladiatorii, 1954).  Scenariul a fost adaptat de către Gina Kaus, Albert Maltz și Philip Dunne după romanul cu același nume scris de Lloyd C. Douglas.  Motivul pentru care Lloyd Douglas a spus că a scris romanul Tunica a fost acela de a răspunde prin ficțiune la întrebarea: ce s-a întâmplat cu soldatul roman care a câștigat tunica lui Iisus la un joc de zaruri?

Q: Invoke while loop with expression language I have following while loop in my jsp file:
<%
    List sorts = (List)request.getAttribute("sorts");
    Iterator it = sorts.iterator();
    while(it.hasNext()) {
        out.print(it.next());
}
%>

How can I avoid the Java Code in my JSP file here using Expression Language?
I've tried to save the it.next()) parameter in variables but it didnt work.

A: It is not possible to use while loop in expression language.instead of while you can use foreach loop.
syntax foreach loop is below-
<c:forEach var="name of scoped variable"
       items="Colleciton,List or Array" >

where c is prefix
var is variable name where data store from collection.
items is collection or list.

Family Health Online | PHARMACY CARE | Sports and Nutrition Supplements - Can they improve athletic performance?
Can they improve athletic performance?
Eating enough carbohydrate, fat, and protein is the most effective way to get the most energy. Carbohydrates provide the most energy storage before and during a workout. Eat both simple and complex carbohydrates, including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Carbohydrate should make up about 50 to 55 per cent of a person's total calorie intake. Endurance athletes need slightly more, around 55 to 60 per cent of their total calorie intake.
To maintain an adequate store of energy during a workout, a strict routine for eating these carbohydrates is suggested. They should be eaten one to four hours before and every hour during longer workouts. Eat them again 30 minutes after a workout, followed by every two hours. In this latter stage, replacing carbohydrates is extremely important, especially during the first two hours. This helps restore energy stores (glycogen).
Fats also provide a good source of energy. A low fat diet with only 25 to 30 per cent of total calorie intake coming from fat is advised. This should be combined with a high carbohydrate diet. Unsaturated fats found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds are good sources of essential dietary fats.
Proteins build and maintain muscle mass. As well, they are needed to make enzymes, hormones, and antibodies. Foods rich in protein provide key micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, all essential for good health and fitness.
The recommended protein intake remains controversial. Contrary to some of today's fad diets, a low protein diet in the range of 12 to 15 per cent of calories is safe and effective for athletes. High protein diets often displace the amount of carboh drate eaten and can cause dehydration. Both hamper athletic performance. The list of long-term side effects and health concerns are other arguments against loading up on protein. Moderate protein intake throughout the day is all that is needed for the average person. Athletes who strength train need slightly more dietary protein than athletes who do endurance or judged events.
Many recreational athletes commonly experience dehydration. During any workout, water is lost through sweat as a way to reduce body heat. Unfortunately, many athletes neglect to replace their fluid losses. Symptoms of dehydration include infrequent passing of urine, dark-coloured urine, fatigue, muscle cramps, and stomach upset.
Over 60 per cent of human body weight is made up of water. So, dehydration can also show as a significant weight loss. It is estimated that a loss of one litre of sweat is the same as a one kilogram loss in body weight. While from a weight loss perspective this might appear favourable, it is not. In fact, dehydration interferes with athletic endurance. Any fluid loss has the potential to increase heart and breathing rates. It many even lead to heat exhaustion.
To avoid this problem, a strict fluid replacement schedule is recommended. Two hours before exercising, 500 millilitres of fluid should be consumed. Drink another 150 to 300 millilitres every 15 to 20 minutes during exercise. Finally, after exercise, 750 millilitres should be taken in for every pound of weight lost.
Which type of fluid is best to drink? If you have exercised for less than an hour, water is the best choice to replace fluid lost from sweating. After exercising more than 60 minutes, a glucose electrolyte solution such as Gatorade™ or PowerAde™ is best. Sports drinks such as these are effective for prolonged exercise. They contain carbohydrate sources (glucose, sucrose or glucose polymers) to provide energy. These drinks also have electrolytes (sodium, chloride or potassium) that allow rapid absorption in the body.
When choosing an appropriate sports drink, check the label for the recommended combination. Ideal carbohydrate sources include glucose, glucose polymers or sucrose. Total carbohydrate concentration should be four to eight percent. The amount of sodium (Na) should be about 500 to 700 milligrams per litre. Read the label on sports drinks carefully. Note that the amount of sodium and potassium is usually for the suggested serving size, not for the entire bottle.
Fruit juices and soft drinks often contain more than ten per cent of carbohydrate concentration. This amount of carbohydrate is poorly absorbed in the stomach. Such drinks can upset your stomach during exercise due to their high fructose content and so are not recommended.
It is often suggested that supplements are not necessary for those who eat a well balanced diet and follow the recommended nutrition guidelines. If you are lacking in some areas, a few helpful supplements for athletes include B vitamins, calcium and iron.
B vitamins are found in unrefined complex carbohydrates, meats, eggs, and some fruits and vegetables. These are necessary for the body to use protein and make energy.
Calcium is well known to protect bones from osteoporosis (fragile bones) and stress fractures. Adult athletes need 1000 milligrams of elemental calcium per day, while adolescents need 1300 milligrams. Finally, iron carries oxygen to working muscle cells during exercise. Still, too much iron can have differing effects. Analysis of blood and diet by health professionals is recommended before you begin taking diet supplements.
Several performance-improving aids have appeared in recent years. Since creatine first came out on the market, the 'creatine craze' has not died down. It is still one of the more scientifically studied sport supplements available, as it improves brief, high-intensity exercise.
Each day, the body makes about one gram of creatine naturally. Creatine also comes from animal products such as pork, beef and fish, which can provide another gram per day. The body uses this supply of creatine as a source of energy during exercise and training. Supplements of creatine are thought to improve this energy system. Athletes are able to train harder since energy is restored more quickly.
Several dosage routines have been recommended to get the most muscle storage of creatine. A suggested loading maintenance routine starts with taking five grams of creatine four times a day, for five to six days. The dose is maintained with of two grams a day to replace daily turnover. However, initial loading dose suggestions vary anywhere from nine grams to 20 grams during the first five days of training. An athlete's dose should be based on the advice of a personal trainer. A continuous low maintenance dose of three grams daily for 28 days is also recommended as an effective routine.
Drinking enough fluid is extremely important for anyone taking creatine supplements. Two litres of water per day is suggested. This helps in avoiding the common problem of dehydration and associated stomach upset and muscle cramps.
People who should not use creatine include those with a history of kidney or liver problems, athletes recovering from soft tissue injuries, or those under 18 years of age. Anyone taking drugs that damage the kidneys, such as nonsteriodal and anti-inflammatory drugs, cyclosporine, or the ACE inhibitor class of blood pressure medications, should not take creatine.
Athletes can have varied responses to creatine supplements, possibly related to differences in diet. Taking creatine is not a short cut for sound training and nutrition program.
Several aids that improve performance and quick fixes are available to today's athlete. Still, it is proper nutrition, including proper fluid replacement that is critical to the best performance in sports. If necessary, supplements may be added to a routine. With any performance-improving agents, herbal preparations, and even vitamins and minerals, the advice of your doctor, dietitian, and pharmacist should be considered. Many agents cannot be used by those taking certain medications or with certain conditions. A prior assessment by a health care professional is important.
Whether you are a recreational or professional athlete, exercise offers rewarding benefits. The advice of a health professional can help ensure your peak performance is kept on track.


With this expansion, we\u2019re using a new bit of tech that will unlock the expansion content, make the intro quest magically pop up in your quest log, and allow you to begin playing the expansion immediately without the need to log out and back in. If everything goes as planned this will be a smooth transition to the adventures that await you in the new continent.
What will be the initial quest for Alliiance?
Both quests are obtained automatically whenever you are lvl 85, and are standing in stormwind or orgrimmar. Just like the first quest for cataclysm was.
It won't be seemless. They've been doing this for 9 years and there's ALWAYS launch day problems. So much so that people will scream in the comments or on the Blizzard forums about people complaining that they can't play the game they paid for. If Blizzard would launch it earlier, on NYC time, instead of waiting, they could identify early issues sooner and people wouldn't be complaining so much. It would be so much easier, but they refuse, and it's annoying.
Midnight release? Realms up at 12am PDT? 3 hours to get it and get home? @#$% yeah.
If this goes seamlessly, awesome!
Actually, I don't really see any reason why it would go wrong. As Blizz have already mentioned, Pandaria is already there, you just can't get to it yet. So i'd imagine most, if not all of the expansion is already in Live, and they'll just flick a switch which enables a quest allowing us to get there.
yeah pretty much as when world events happen. brewfest starts at 00:01 and you can queue for it directly without a server reset or relog.
That is one huge IF.
To be fair, I don't remember very many problems for Cata's release. I know there were issues for a few others, but I recall a near seemless transistion (at least compared to LK and BC).
If this actually happens then I will personally buy 1 of every product from the Blizz store. Good job it won't happen because I am short on cash this month.
One thing for sure, this will cut down a lot of jamming the login servers..
Spare yourselves the pain and mental anguish and just pretend MoP launches at midnight on the 26th.
Not to be a debbie downer but WoW has not been know for releases being seamless....lol. It'll be great if it does happen and I will eat a bit of humble pie if all does go well.....but I won't be holding my breath...lol.
That really was the most smooth MMO launch I've ever seen.
Yeah I played extensively on the launch of Cata and WoTLK for that matter and I don't recall running into a single issue on either of those days. Now when there's major content patches you can count on a day or two of fail, but I look forward to a pretty well executed launch.
You need to clarify that sentence better, because as far as I know WoW has only been Live for just about 8 years come November. The only launch day I saw that had problems was BC's Launch. WOTLK and Cata's was pretty good to me.

Comey accused Trump of asking him to drop an investigation of Flynn as part of a probe into Russia's interference in 2016 presidential election.
U.S. Donald Trump said in a statement released by his lawyers that he was "pleased" and "feels completely vindicated" after former FBI director James Comey's opening statement was made public.
Comey accused U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday of asking him to drop an investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn as part of a probe into Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
"The President is pleased that Mr. Comey has finally publicly confirmed his private reports that the President was not under investigation in any Russian probe," Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz said.
"The President feels completely and totally vindicated," the statement said.
In dramatic written testimony, Comey said Trump told him at a meeting in the White House in February, "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go."
The testimony from Comey, who was fired by Trump last month, puts more pressure on the Republican whose presidency has been overshadowed by allegations that Moscow helped him win last year's election.
Comey's statement, posted on the Senate Intelligence Committee's website, said Trump also called him on March 30 to say he had nothing to do with Russia and asked what "we could do to lift the cloud" of the FBI's Russia investigation.
During that phone call, Comey said he told Trump the FBI was not investigating the president personally. "He repeatedly told me, 'We need to get that fact out'," Comey said.

Moral Bankruptcy Of Chicago's Elites
Adam Andrzejewski Senior Contributor
State & Urban
As the city approaches financial bankruptcy, Chicago's elite's line-their-pockets with taxpayer money.
There is real pain in Chicago. In the last four years, 10,000 shootings have left the city scarred. Nearly 21,000 students are trapped in failing schools. Homeowners face rising property taxes - monthly property tax payments now rival mortgage payments. One million residents have fled the city since 1950 for prosperity elsewhere.
Rumors of financial insolvency are not exaggerated. There is a staggering $19,000 public pension liability per each city resident.
As a mayoral candidate in 2010-11, Rahm Emanuel gave regular people hope with his repeated assertion that he would "stop pay-to-play in City Hall" and "end the historical culture of corruption." Emanuel was right. Public sector corruption was forestalling private sector production. Ending "pay to play" seemed like the only way back for the city.
In the months following his election, Emanuel seemed to execute on his promise by signing an executive order preventing city contractors from giving campaign cash to the mayor's funds. It was a nice soundbite, but the measure was weakly designed. It lacked an enforcement mechanism and was riddled with loopholes.
Last week, our organization American Transparency - with the data at OpenTheBooks.com - fact checked Emanuel's ethics policy for the John Stossel Special, Chicago Corruption: Is Pay-to-Play in Chicago Still Legal? Click here to watch segment
CHICAGO, IL - APRIL 7: Rahm Emanuel greets supporters with his wife Amy Rule as he celebrates his election victory after being re-elected Mayor of Chicago April 7, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. Is the new Emanuel administration going to "end play-to-play" and the "historic culture of city hall corruption?" (Photo by Joshua Lott/Getty Images)
Here's what we found: 600 city vendors gave Emanuel $7 million in campaign cash during the past four years and received $2 billion in city payments since 2002. And here's how we found that data: We looked at a universe of 1,500 companies or their affiliated employees funding Rahm Emmanuel's campaign since 2010. We then matched those company names with payments from the City of Chicago vendor checkbook. It's a confluence of campaign cash and contractor payments or benefits.
Even United and American airlines, who have current city contracts, bundled campaign cash for the current election cycle. Ten American executives in two states and Washington D.C. all contributed the same $5,300 campaign donation on the same day in March 2014. Last fall, United executives bundled $73,000 from 42 executives on the same day in November 2014. View source documents here.
Even "new money" entrepreneurs are gaming the system. For example, Eric Lefkofsky is CEO of Groupon, President of Blue Media LLC, and co-founder of Lightbank. In the fall of 2010, when Groupon was valued at $6 billion, IL Governor Pat Quinn announced a $3.5 million package of job growth incentives. Two days later, Blue Media LLC gave a $100,000 campaign donation to Rahm Emanuel. Over the next few years, Lefkofsky became CEO of Groupon and took prestigious board appointments from Emanuel. Since 2014, Lefkofsky has given Mayor Emanuel's fund another $250,000 for his 2015 re-election campaign. View all source documents here.
Overall, our findings led to two conclusions: pay-to-play is still legal in Chicago and Rahm Emanuel has complete control of the entire corrupt Daley political machine. In all the examples identified above, the individual transactions are probably completely legal at arm's length, but the patterns are troubling.
But there's a deeper problem. Our so-called leaders are funding a decadent and corrupt machine that exists to serve themselves rather than the city. The players are extracting extreme and undue profits as the city careens into financial insolvency. Residents face bleak futures while the players enjoy bright futures. The fact that Chicago is famous for this "machine" is disgraceful.
The hard truth is our elites – business and civic leaders – have sold the city out. While they strip the city of needed funds with their no-bid, non-competitive contracts for millions of dollars, they recycle a portion back into politics by funding the political machine that is designed to protect their own positions.
Let's look at another example - the lawyers. Since Emanuel's executive order on May 15, 2011 banning pay-to-play, Schiff Hardin LLP attorneys have given $31,850 in campaign cash to Emanuel and received $370,000 in city legal work. Over the past four years they've received $1.2 million. Jenner and Block attorneys have donated $37,200 since the executive order and have been paid more than $4 million for city legal work since 2010 with much of it coming recently.
How does this happen? The legal work is no-bid and circumvents a competitive procurement process. According to the city transparency website, these firms are paid for city legal work without a contract. They submit payment vouchers that are paid via a direct payment scheme. City of Chicago direct payments don't disclose work product or purpose on their "transparency" website.
We also examined the investment firms handing the pension funds. Since Emanuel's executive order, one of the world's largest private investment firms Grosvenor Capital Management's affiliated employees have given over $90,000 in campaign cash and $444,500 to Mayor Emanuel since 2010. Yet, the firm indirectly manages city teacher pension funds.
How? A middle-man firm has the pension investment contract and then delivers the pension funds to Grosvenor to manage a portion of the money. Hard questions remain as to whether or not Emanuel's executive order or SEC rules have been violated.
Most of this is legal and shouldn't be.
The elites of Chicago are lining their pockets with public money while regular homeowners struggle with ever increasing property taxes, kids attend broken schools, and emergency rooms are flooded with the causalities of a wounded community. Citizens are suffering but the elites of Chicago have never had a better return-on-investment.
We can blame Mayor Emanuel, but he's just a reflection of today's broken culture of public service.

I have several ceramic tea pots and wanted a way to keep the tea hot without using a tea pot cover and this does the job!


Classic McLaren Vale Shiraz, rich warm fruit on the nose with hints of spice. Big mouthfeel with blackberry and warm chocolate, finishing with a big kiss of black pepper. This wine is drinking great right now and will continue to flesh out over the next couple of months and drink really well over the next few years. This is a fairly small lot from one vineyard. The wine saw mostly 2- to 3-year-old French oak barrels, and while it picked up a kiss of oak, this wine is primarily classic jammy Shiraz. Ultimately, you are looking at $20+ quality juice.

Welcome.KatC7 . I.can't help you but the site is good and someone will surely contact you.
Hello @KatC7 Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and sharing. Sorry to hear that your in pain.
I am one of the community champions who help and advise new members who join.
Have you spoken to your Doctors about your pain and the problems that you are experiencing.
There will be members of our community who will identify what you are going through. Have a look at our website.
Yes I have been in your situation since 2005 when a "Brain Opp" left me with "Chronic Pain" all the way down my right hand side.
After discussing with a "Consultant" & doing my own homework.
Please please do your own searching as it maybe different in your case!!!!!!!!
thank you, yes my doctors know and i'm on a lot of pain meds but I don't take as many as i'm told because if I do i feel like a zombie, cannot concentrate or function normally. I became a widow almost 2 years ago and had to move house as without him I couldn't cope with the stairs at home, I'm in a wheelchair most of the time, so I'm now in a purpose built bungalow but its not home you know? However it is perfectly suitable for an amputee so I'm hoping that goes in my favour.
I was a care supervisor before I was forced to give up work because of my condition, I worked with many amputees, one of which i'm still good friends with. I have researched it in depth, my pain is in my lower leg, mostly the ankle and after 7 years of my foot getting worse day by day I really can't handle it any more, I know all the excuses: you'll suffer phantom pains, you may never learn to walk on a prosthetic, again I know amputees and phantom pains are a lot more rare than they make out, I've prepared myself mentally for this now I just need to find a doctor who will do it.

The Crummer School only hires experienced faculty with established teaching and research records; our current faculty includes many award-winning graduate teachers. We especially value individuals who also bring managerial industry experience as part of their background. Crummer does not have departments; we operate as a faculty of the whole. This model lends itself exceptionally well to a level of nimbleness in innovation that is rarely seen in academe, and also to a cross-disciplinary approach in the classroom and in research collaboration. Class sizes are small and faculty build close professional relationships with our students.
Crummer's Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship (CFAE) bridges educational endeavors with the Central Florida entrepreneurial community. Distinguishing aspects of the graduate entrepreneurship program at Crummer include interactions with students, faculty, and industry as well as social entrepreneurs through CFAE innovative initiatives including the Crummer Venture Plan Competition, Entrepreneurial Scholar of Distinction, ATHENAPowerlink, CEONexus, Growth Series, and the Integrated Capstone Experience (ICE) (i.e., commercializing NASA technology as well as domestic and international consulting).

Crummer faculty members take great pride in the fact that we are ranked #1 in Florida by Forbes. Also, for four years in a row, Leadership Magazine has ranked our MBA #1 in the country for Leadership Development. Other accolades include being named the #1 Global MBA in Florida by Expansion, a Tier 1 Global MBA by CEO Magazine, and a "Best Business School" by Princeton Review. We attract excellent MBA students at all levels – executive, professional, and early career. Our students are eager to learn from our accomplished faculty and the prestige factor of holding a Crummer MBA is extraordinarily high, especially in Florida. Hence, outstanding MBA teaching is essential to success as a member of our faculty.
Crummer's Executive DBA program was recently ranked #6 in the country and #13 globally by CEOWorld. Our DBA students are top-level leaders and seasoned entrepreneurs who take a variety of seminars in residence and complete a dissertation and other research requirements as part of a three-year program, affording outstanding opportunities for faculty to participate in these projects. At the Crummer School, all learning experiences are heavily applied and experiential.
The Crummer faculty recognize that a broad range of applied research contributes to marketing practice. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is common within our faculty and also with colleagues outside of Crummer. An engaged scholarship model that combines managerial relevance with rigor in applied research is highly valued among our group.
You will find collegiality to be one of the best parts of being a faculty member at Crummer; collaborative service to the college is part of our strong culture of self-governance. Externally, involvement in such ways as scholarly societies, editorial boards, active participation on community boards of profit and nonprofit organizations, company engagements, and local community service is both respected and encouraged.
