Q: IE, tabbing out of open dropdown trumps visible binding in knockoutjs In IE11, if you hit tab when you're focused on an open <select> dropdown, the dropdown will close and focus will move ahead to the next control in the tab index. This is unlike Chrome, where the same action will just close the dropdown and require that you hit tab again to advance.
My trouble is in the case when the next control is being revealed by the knockoutjs "visible" data-bind. IE skips over the newly revealed control and onto the next!
<select data-bind="value: dDown">
    <option></option>
    <option>Fred</option>
    <option>Barney</option>
    <option>None</option>
</select>

<select data-bind="visible: dDown">
    <option>Can</option>
    <option>You</option>
    <option>Dig</option>
</select>

Land here: <input type="text" />

My knockout is like so:
var viewModel = function() {
    this.dDown = ko.observable(false);
};
ko.applyBindings(new viewModel());

I've been able to brute force with a e.keyCode == 9, e.preventDefault() type of handler on all of my html control elements. Pretty ugly. Wondering if there's a way to enhance the visible knockout binding? Or even a IE setting that changes the tab behavior?
Any help is most appreciated,

A: ok changed my answer. the only way i could get it to work was a delay on setting focus. so I created a writable observable that delays the focus. run the snippet below.  seemed to work for me I don't have ie11 but I used an emulator.

function vm() {
  var self = this;
  this.records = ko.observableArray();
  this.availableNames = ko.observableArray(['Fred', 'Barney']);
  this.availableOptions = ko.observableArray(['Can', 'You', 'Dig']);
  this.selectedName = ko.observable('');
  this.selectHasFocus = ko.observable(false);
  this.dDown = ko.observable(false);

  this.selectedNameComputed = ko.pureComputed({
        read: function () {
            return self.selectedName();
        },
        write: function (value) {
            this.selectedName(value);
            if (self.selectedName()){
             self.dDown(true);
             self.selectHasFocus(true)
             setTimeout(function() { document.getElementById('myselect').focus(); }, 10);
            }else{
              self.dDown(false);
            }

        },
        owner: this
    });

}

var myViewModel = new vm();

$(document).ready(function() {
  ko.applyBindings(myViewModel);
});

  input1: <input/>

<select data-bind="options: availableNames,
optionsCaption: 'None', value: selectedNameComputed">
</select>

<select data-bind="options: availableOptions, visible: dDown, hasFocus: selectHasFocus " id="myselect">

</select>

Another one of the "must sees" of HCMC are the nearby Cu Chi Tunnels.You can probably already imagine what these were, but once again it was the cultural heritage that stole the show more than any amusement we would have crawling through tunnels. If the intention was to make us empathic toward those who originally dug these tunnels then they did a good job. The tour guide in particular kept it real with his stories and assistance. Photos here.
Once we were back in HCMC proper we spent some time visiting the mosque and then, finally, found a halal restaurant to eat in (named Halal@Saigon obviously enough); and this time there was meat on the menu. Between the mosque and the restaurant we also got to meet a few members of the Cham, the indigenous Muslims from Vietnam.
As our time in HCMC, and indeed Vietnam, drew to an end so did our roles as tourists ebb away. We spent the evening wandering around aimlessly, finally ending up sharing cupcakes in a shop across from our hotel. It was somehow a fitting end to our time in that country.
The flight to Seam Reap was speedy, and as in the case with us men as we began our decent into Cambodia the memories we collected this past week in Vietnam quickly began to fade. But I at least had seen enough to convince me to come back one day. It really was a wonderful place both culturally but especially because of the people. I don't think I've ever met a bunch of universally nice people anywhere on my travels.
We settled into the awesome Muslim run hotel we had been recommended and prepared for an early night - tomorrow is to be an early start; most likely the earliest we'll be having on this trip as we set out to experience one of the main reasons we had even come to this whole region in the first place.

I recently won a competition over on Johnny Loves Rosie's Twitter page *yay* My prize was £50 to spend over on their website. I've loved the company since I was a teen and with the rise of stores like Primark I will admit, I have by-passed the company when shopping for accessories in the past.
After browsing all day, literally I spend all day on and off trying to decide what to buy eventually deciding on four products. They arrived a few days later and it was once they arrived I realised how much the company cares about their brand image and their customers over all.
Firstly they all arrived individually wrapped in tissue paper, tied with a silky cream ribbon and sealed with a branded fabric sticker.
Once I had unwrapped the products I found they where each sealed in their own little branded pouches. Fancy huh!
The items I choose were the black flower barrette - I figured this would last a bit longer than the floral crown trend. I also chose a bow barrette but it was out of stock so they sent me this one - This one is damaged but I 'think' I've fixed it. The strand you see poking out of the top has come off and the beads are all falling off. I then chose the tassel bracelet because look how bloomin cute that is, I adore tassells and this was calling my name. I'm sure tassells are going to be MEGA for A/W 13. Finally my spike headband - I adore this, I really do. I can't wear the material headbands because my heads flat at the back so when I come across a good half head headband I get all over it.
Here's a closer pic of my tassel bracelet joining my Gina Stewart Cox arm party. I'm slightly gutted however because my headband was £16, If I had only waited a few days I would have gotten it in the sale for £8 - Gah don't you hate when that happens.
You can get 20% off when you enter NXT20 at checkout. They also have a fab sale on over on their website HERE.

Medica 2019: Arteriosclerosis - new technologies help to find proper catheters and location of vasoconstriction
Blocked blood vessels such as in the widespread disease arteriosclerosis can lead to strokes and heart attacks. Therefore, it is important for doctors to make a quick and reliable diagnosis. Computer scientists from Kaiserslautern and Leipzig are working on a technique that selects the best catheter for a treatment. They are also developing a method that automatically identifies the location of bottlenecks in vessels. For this, the researchers use image data from Computed Tomography, which they analyse using the most up-to-date methods.
They will be presenting their technologies at the medical technology trade fair Medica held from 17 to 21 November in Düsseldorf at the Rhineland-Palatinate research stand (hall 7a, stand B06).
Robin Maack, Katharina Roth and Dr. Christina Gillmann (right) are developing these technologies.

Catheters consist of different materials such as plastic, silicone or metal. These medical tubes are available in a number of variants, some are particularly easy to bend, others are rather rigid.
"Doctors often have to decide which catheters are best suited for treatment," says computer scientist Robin Maack, who is working on the subject as part of his master's thesis at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern.
»Technology and Innovation »blood vessel »catheter »medical technology trade »vasoconstriction »vessel »vessel wall
"It also plays a role, for example, whether the tube has to bend at a 90° angle in order to reach the affected area in the vessel," continues Maack. The risk of injury needs to be as low as possible as well.
Together with Dr Christina Gillmann from the University of Leipzig, he is working on a database with which a suitable catheter can be found more quickly. For this purpose, they built a model for an artery that bends several times and branches at several points. The computer scientists record how long each catheter takes to reach the desired location and what forces act on the vessel wall to pass through the blood vessel.
"We analyse the videos and enter the results into our database," says Gillmann. "For each model we provide important data such as material, size and manufacturer and then describe the most suitable areas of application." In the future, physicians will be able to use the database to quickly find the right tube for treatment. This will also reduce the stress on patients in the future, as fewer catheters have to be tested in the body.
In addition, the researchers are working on a method that will show doctors exactly the location of the vascular constriction. "Blood vessels are usually very small, so that it is not always directly obvious where the constriction is," explains the computer scientist. For this technology, images from Computed Tomography are used.
"With our analysis methods, we prepare the data of the images in a different way than is the case with conventional methods," continues Maack. Moreover, the computer scientists subdivide the image data into the categories bones, veins, muscles and tissue types. Their computational program is able to detect even the smallest alterations in the image pixels and, in this way, to detect the affected area more reliably.
The researchers will present their work at the Medica in Düsseldorf.
Klaus Dosch, Department of Technology and Innovation, is organizing the presentation of the researchers of the TU Kaiserslautern at the fair. He is the contact partner for companies and, among other things, establishes contacts to science.

Solo'd this guy as a lvl 71 resto druid, fight took forever but I got him lol.
He does a death and decay followed by a I think it was called Blood Plague but anyways it is a disease that does shadow damage and removes any healing over time effects.
Pretty easy fight, just have to kite him around, be careful of him resetting that happened to me once.
I got almost 34k exp from this with rested, dropped 2 blues ......of the champion helm and the Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel.
Solo'd High Thane Jorfus as a lvl 71 resto druid, fight took forever but I got him lol.
He has almost 19k health.
Patrols around at Sindragosa's Fall in Icecrown.
I found him patrolling the court of bones around and was a very easy solo as lvl 77 feral druid in s2 gear. At this level I got 16k xp for him. The Adventurer's Satchel contained nearly 16g and a stack of frostweave and the blue drop was a ...of the soldier.
You are able to kite him. Easily soloable. Bag with 25g and some eternal stuff. Helmet also.
Saw him patrolling at The Fleshwerks, easily soloable as said.
Dropped a blue helmet and a sack which contained about 30 frostweave cloth, and some crystallized earth.
Found him patrolling as far north as .
Was actually headed to do a loop around the pit at Sindragosa's Fall, when I found him a good ways to the north of any other mobs. Who knows how many times I'd flown through the area not spamming my /tar macro and missed him.
Found patrolling Sindragoza's fall, soloed him rather easily as a 77 Shadow Priest. dropped a blue BoE plate helm (Corroded Faceguard of the Squire), 18 gold, 20 Frostweave cloth and 4 Crystallized Shadow.
I found him just to the east of the citadel. Incredibly easy to kill at 80. I killed him in under 10 seconds.
FYI, he's a large death knight with a braided beard. Very noticeable in contrast with the other mobs in his pat area(s).
If you've already gone through the Fleshwerks chain and it's phased to the battle between the Scourge and the Argent Crusade/Ebon Blade, and Jorfus spawns there, will be still be visible? Or will people phased to that version of Fleshwerks just have to wait until he gets killed and spawns again at one of the other two points?
Was questing at the fleshwerks, had two abominations on me then this guy spawned and decided to join in. Had 18k health and i volleyed the snot out of them all. I was left with about 200hp. I thought he was part of some quest and didn't realize he was a rare spawn until the achievement popped up.
Fleshwerks patroling on the path down to the center area of fleshwerks.
Found him on the upper area of Sindragosa's Fall. He is *HUGE*. You cant miss him. Very easy solo.
He must have spawned ON me at the Fleshwerks. And to answer your question, I was in the instanced part where there were primarily Corpulent Horrors fighting the Argent forces. So he CAN spawn there.
I was at half health, and he just suddenly appeared attacking me and i freaked out for a second. Definitely simple to finish off, though. 23g, 20 frostweave and the faceguard of the Beast.
Painfully easy to spot. HE'S HUGE (like maiden but bigger!). Just don't look down looking for him and you'll be fine.
I found this guy walking around Sindragosa's Fall, while doing some mining runs in Icecrown. I go to that area to mine because there is usually a lot of nodes as in like 2 or 3 in the big pit.
He's "high" all right! He's very high indeed!
He also wields something weirdly similar to Frostmourne.
I was on my way to a 25-man Vault run (flying in, as the portal was not up), and, when I was in Icecrown just north of Wintergrasp Fortress, I looked down and saw this guy. Killing him not only gave me credit for the achievement, but gave it to the entire raid group, leading to a collective "WTF! Who did that?"
Why are the coordinates for the "fleshworks patrol" removed from the wowhead map?
So I hope that the fleshworks spawn points has not been removed or so!
I saw it at 4:00am server time (when dailies reset!) at Sindragosa's Fall when I went to do the daily for the Argent Tourney. Really big and hard to miss.
Ok, let me get this right. He can spawn at sindragosa's fall? and court of bones? That means. I am so *!@#ed by finding this dude. It is argent tournament's fault! alot are doing the one with killing 15 undeads at sindragosas fall 1st. 2nd another one is at court of bones where the quest with riding a horse and kill all those undead's. That takes place there too. That means i have to spawn camp it for some day's at fleshwerk -.-' "ty blizzard for making it so easy after argent tournament"
I detected him with NPCscan while doing the Commander/Lieutenants in front of the Citadel. I looked around but couldn't see him, so I think he phases while you're doing the Argent Tournament quests there. I turned in the quests and returned to the area, and sure enough, he appeared. Dropped the usual stack of frostweave, blue, and a sack of gold.
I don't understand why he's spawned so often, or why no one else sees fit to kill him, but I kill this guy at least once every few days on the way to the Argent Tournament. You'd figure someone else would notice him from time to time, as he's pretty damn huge.
For a rare spawn, he's surprisingly common. Killed him for the 5th time a minute ago, figured I'd throw it out there.
Then again, I've run into 3 timelost protos too, so maybe I just play too much.
Like has been said, easy solo, nothing special.
Note that if you fly from Dalaran to Argent Tournament grounds, and he is spawned by sindragosa's Falls, NPC Scan will pick him up while on the flight path.
IS he wearing DK armor?
Had some trouble today; npcscan picked him up but I couldn't target him. My personal theory is that he was in a phased area that I couldn't reach. Alternately there's a chance it picked up his body and it despawned soon after my addon found him, though this seems unlikely.
Neither not a real elite. Hes similar to Hildana Deathstealer.
I was flying in towards Fleshworks and SilverDragon went off and I could target him for just a moment but as I got closer I lost the target and couldn't target him again.
Seems a shame that I did all those quests now, if HTJ doesn't appear in all the phases.
I found this guy south of corp'rethar a couple of weeks ago on my paladin, he is a lot bigger than he looks in that picture and also appears to be wearing the death knight tier 10 armor or something closely resembling it.
Just killed him on my 80 rogue. I was hovering just outside the Argent Tournament Grounds near Quel'delar's Rest and he spawned right under me; he's not exactly hard to miss. For being such a gigantic death knight, he's a wuss: it took approximately three auto-attacks and a Mutilate to bring him down.
I havn't been able to find him, completed all quests in northrend, is it possible there is phasing problems? Btw it seem slike the guys at the fleshworks would kill him, seeing he patrols through every crusader there haha!
Does phasing matter on this guy or is he everywhere?
Just dropped him at the Fleshwerks. He was pathing through the lower area completely oblivious to the epic battle taking place around him.
So no, phasing will not effect finding him.
He was wandering about 2 feet from where you do the Quel'Delar quests.
Found at 31,62 (fleshworks) at 1:38 am PST, same as realm time.
Found at Sindragosa's Fall at 2:01 PM server time on Mok'Nathal. I was headed down to Dalaran from The Argent Tournament when NPC scan went off. That would be my fourth rare found today in Northrend.
Hard to miss, looks like a giant Vykrul - killed him near Fleashworks.
You can't miss him; he's huge! Found him at Fleshwerks.
Found him 72.00 , 39.30 server time: 093.
Dropped the usual satchel and blue boe. Super easy kill.
Found him today at 49,83 in the Court of Bones at 2:42 PM server time on Cairne- US.
To give you an idea of how big he is, he stands well over the Abominations at the Fleshwerks and is about the same size as the Putrid Colossus that walk around there. So if you see a giant walking around you can bet it's him.
I found him at 74.2 , 33.4 but our server got errors and I can't even target him cuz he's friendly . I've no idea how to slay him :( You can see my pic at "Screenshots"
Just killed him today at 13:01 server time, was in Fleshworks. Been hunting him for days since he was the last 1 I need for Frostbitten. Dropped plate helmet of the soldier (str,stam,crit) and a stack of frostweave. After fully looted, he despawned at 13:03.
Biggest pushover in Northrend. Solo'ed him with a lvl 70 priest.
Was looking for Putridus when my NPC Scan acused High Thane Jorfus! I started looking for it but it was easy to find, the guy is huge, lol. So I killed him (Im a 78 healer and it was VERY easy), and got the "Northern Exposure" just there, good stuff. Btw, I found him at "The fleshwerks" at 7:30 am.

My NPCScan went off on High Thane just a moment ago right next to the Citadel, but I couldn't target him. I assume it's a phasing problem, seeing as I've not done too many Icecrown quests. He was there, but he wasn't *there*. Hopefully I will be able to catch him in some other spawn point!
I've been camping this guy for months now on US-Drenden. He's been a no show, even his body hasn't been picked up on the scan at all. Has anyone on Drenden had this same problem?
While everyone says that this dude is huge...you have to be specific...he's not more than about 20-30 ft tall and when you talk about flying around the place...he's not quite so noticeable...found him (47.6,85.0) patting around the gate.
Found him at Court of Bones, Northwest of Icecrown Citadel at 10:24am server time.
I am pretty sure there are currently some phasing issues as of 5.0.4 at least.
My npc scan went off while I was on the flight path to argent dailies, but I couldn't target him so I went to all the spawn points but figured somebody got him before I did and the corpse just despawned.
But today, being the day after it happened, I was on the flight path again and saw the mob ('tis true; he is huge) and straight after landing I went to find him, and we are talking 5-10 secs later, and I couldn't find him or his corpse.
So I think it is some phasing bug at Sindragosa's Fall. Not sure about the other spawn points.
I am having phasing issues with this guy. While on a flight path, my NPC scan detected and targeted him. I was on a character that had never done any quests in Icecrown and I was rare-hunting. Went back to the same spot about 2 seconds later, and there is no High Thane Jorfus and no body. Very irritating! Any ideas?
He is the last one for my Frostbitten achieve. Thank gawd, I'm saying, that it's not one of the huntard pets. Then I find out the evil truths Begin Q: since he is in high quest areas people kill him instantly. And there are phasing issues. And the challenge that there are only 5 rares up on northrend at any given time so if nobody is killing the others, he won't spawn.
Three months I've been farming this guy for hours a day. I feel like somebody owes me an apology. NOT FUN! I wish Blizz would shorten the spawn timers on these rares, make at least 1 per zone up at any given time, move them to less-frequented areas, mirror the hunter pets so they aren't taming our achievement rares, fix the phasing issues and just generally make the game funner and more appealing. End Q.
He's high alright. Judging by the surrounding Vrykul he's about 10 storeys tall.

As adults, we have been habituated into thoughts, beliefs and actions largely based on our individual learning, experiences and social interactions. This leads us to have ways of thinking which are not a natural part of a child's thoughts.
For example, as adults we would tend to draw comparisons of how something is better, worse, right, wrong. These comparisons presuppose a frame of reference against which the comparison is being drawn.
But for a young child - there IS no frame of reference (to start with). Hence how will they understand our comparison - let alone agree or comply with our comparison?
As adults we have notions about "must do", "should do", "have to" - all necessities/desires arising from societal interactions and protocols. But for a child - they don't know about society and its protocols. How can they understand why something "must be done"?
And then comes the dreaded question - "But why?". All parents have faced this endless barrage of "But Why"? questions on innumerable occasions often ending in exasperation or maybe even aggression on the part of the parent.
- Between the child and the parent, who is the adult?
- Between the adult and the child, who is supposed to be mature and responsible?
b) All the situations in which you have your understanding of can/can't, possible/not possible etc.
Now examine each of these and write down the basis of having formed these understandings. Ask yourself whether each of these is grounded in facts that are current and to date? Have some of these become obsolete and hence need to be re-examined? Would you still continue to hold on to the same understanding after this re-examination?
Now ask yourself if your child has the self-experience which could have generated the basis for forming these same understandings as you have? What can you do to generate an experience (a pleasant one) for your child where the child can start forming their own experiential learning?
Innocence of childhood is the mirror of introspection for the parent. To me, parenting is about the growth of the parent as a human being and where the child is the real parent teaching us the most important lessons of our lives - about ourselves. Truly a Gift.

This is the fully licenced Beretta APX bb air pistol from Umarex.
This is the fully licenced IWI JERICHO B from Umarex, a CO2 powered 4.5mm steel bb pistol. IWI home of the legendary UZI offers the outstanding JERICHO-B.
Made by Umarex, the IWI Jericho B is based upon the ever popular CZ75 pistol with only slight modifications made to its tried and tested design. Made to be an almost exact replica of the original 9mm pistol, this airgun version features a heavy duty metal slide to give a realistic weight as well as providing fantastic reliability. The non-blowback action has two benefits, firstly it reduces recoil to improve your accuracy and secondly, it conserves CO2 meaning you get more full power shots per capsule. The double action trigger of the pistol is a particular highlight when coupled with the semi-automatic firing action. This pistol is sure to provide endless enjoyment to shooters of all kinds.


The idea of getting our indoor areas and outdoor areas work collectively will not be a brand new one. A zinc-topped cypress tree-trunk table blends seamlessly into the landscape, as do the weathered urns and pots the designer discovered at Atlanta's Scott Vintage Markets. Transitional styling—easy strains and natural teak—make this beautiful eating set at home anyplace, together with the primitive exterior of this cottage.
Vintage Arne Jacobsen aspect chairs encompass a customized-made table in the outside dining space of a Hamptons house by Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. On the rear terrace of a Los Angeles residence designed by Silvia Kuhle and Jeffrey Allsbrook of the structure agency Standard, Summit Furniture armchairs are upholstered in a Perennials outdoor cloth.
Hanging candle lanterns will be lit during evening outside entertaining, and this porch's lofty rafters—shaped in a deep wood compass design—pop towards the cream roof and columns. Paths are great instruments in outdoor living areas for extra than simply discovering your approach.
Comfy loveseats like these are fabulous when you have them, however a couple of effectively-positioned chairs all through the garden needs to be plenty. Substantial, sturdy out of doors furniture sets the scene for entrance porch dining. The swing is hung in the area by thick ropes as a substitute of the everyday silver chain hyperlinks, which gives the complete space a extra natural, cohesive look.
The proprietor has created a transportive place to curl up due to the abundance of greenery and a flickering outdoor fireplace. Filling the fireplace with candles as an alternative of firewood is a superb thought for including mild and attraction in heat summer season months. Architect James Carter added another whimsical gesture — a closet within the chimney for firewood and out of doors furnishings — to boost the phantasm that this newly constructed home is an vintage.

The Role of Supplementary Material in Journal Articles: Surveys of Authors, Reviewers, and Readers
Amy Price,1,2 Sara Schroter,1 Mike Clarke,3,4,5 Helen McAneney5
Objective Many journals allow or require authors to submit supplementary material for consideration when their manuscript is going through the editorial process and for possible publication with the article. We explore the value and role of supplementary material in journal articles from the perspective of authors, peer reviewers, and readers.
Design Among authors and peer reviewers of research submissions to 17 BMJ Publishing Group journals, we randomly allocated two-thirds of each group to receive an author and reviewer survey, respectively, and the remaining third of each group to receive a reader survey. In November 2016, participants completed an online survey from the perspective of their allocated role to provide information about their use of specific types of supplementary material (study protocol, data collection or extraction forms, data tables and figures, completed reporting guideline checklists and flow diagrams, interview transcripts, raw study data). Survey questions asked about who each portion of the material is most useful to; the expected use of materials by authors, reviewers and readers; the preferred option for accessing supplementary material; and if and where supplementary material should be published.
Results Among 20,340 surveyed authors and peer reviewers, we received 2872 (14%) responses (819 [12%] from authors, 1142 [17%] from peer reviewers, and 911 [14%] from authors and reviewers responding as readers). Most authors (711 of 819 [87%]) reported submitting at least 1 type of supplementary material with their most recent manuscript, 95% (1086 of 1142) of reviewers reported seeing supplementary material in an article they reviewed at least sometimes (ie, not never or almost never), and 79% (724 of 911) of readers reported that the article they read most recently included supplementary material. Additional data tables were the most common supplementary material type submitted or seen (authors, 74%; reviewers, 89%; readers, 67%). A majority in each role indicated additional data tables were most useful to readers (58%-72%), while fewer indicated they were most useful to peer reviewers (19%-34%) and journal editors (3%-4%) (Table). Patterns of opinion were opposite for reporting guideline checklists. All 3 groups favored publication of additional data tables and figures on the journal's website (80%-83%), with less than 4% of each group reporting that availability was not needed. Less than one-fourth of respondents in each group said that raw study data should be available on the journal's website (16%-23%), and 24% to 33% said that these materials should not be made available.
Conclusions Authors, peer reviewers, and readers favor access to supplementary tables and figures over completed reporting checklists or raw data. These findings may help journals to consider the roles, resource costs, and strategic placement of supplementary materials for optimal usage.

An audio analogue signal on magnetic tape or vinyl records is infinite in detail, but suffers deterioration and increased noise from repeated use and mass transfer. Analogue sound quality is measured by frequency response. The lower the frequency response the lower the quality. Digital audio does not suffer from loss of frequency response, but with a low bit rate it suffers from quantumising noise (random static) and smearing.
Digital reduces the infinite detail of an audio analogue signal to a representation of finite bits of 1's and 0's Each 1 and 0 is absolute and therefore is simple to produce and mass transfer, and does not suffer deterioration or noise with repeated use. The maximum allowable number of bits 1's and 0's per second (b/s) is the only limitation of digital technology to provide full sound quality.
The 1's and 0's bits are grouped into 'words' of 16 bits (1000110001101010) for domestic CD , and 18 bit 'words' for Pro-audio (100011000110101001). A word can consist of any number of bits. The number of words per second is called 'sampling rate'. Domestic CD sampling rate is 44.1K words per second. Pro audio sampling rate is 48K words per second.
Bits per word defines dynamic range.
Sampling rate defines frequency response and must be greater than x 2 highest audio frequency.
dB FS Full Scale 0 dBFS is the highest level of word sample.
Therefore lower audio levels will be - dBFS numbers.
0000 0000 0000 0001 = -96 dBFS.
16 bit word = 96 dB dynamic range.
20 bit word = 120 dB dynamic range.
24 bit word = 144 dB dynamic range.
Note: Only a word group of exactly 8 bits is called a 'Byte' and refers to storage capacity. A CD can store 700 Mega Bytes (700MB) We must not confuse bits with Bytes. Bytes is upper case 'B'. bits is lower case 'b'.
The greater the total numbers of bits/second (b/s), the faster the sampling rate, and/or the greater number of bits in a word. But for a given number of bits per second (b/s) there can be a choice between a slow sampling rate with a large number of bits per word, or a fast sampling rate with a less number of bits per word. The continuing explanations will simply refer to total bits/second (b/s) to represent audio quality.
Domestic CD is 1,411,000 bits per second (1.411Mb/s) for 2 channels. Therefore each channel is 705,600 bits per second (705.6Kb/s) For the majority of people this bit rate is high enough to enable music fidelity to be in-distinguishable from quality analogue formats (20Hz - 20kHz with 96dB dynamic range).
Before CD players were available the only domestic digital recording medium was video tape recorders. The fractional number of 44.1K sampling rate (words per second) was the maximum allowable for high fidelity audio to be digitally recorded onto video tape formats, and the 44.1K sampling rate was retained when domestic CD arrived. Pro audio Digital Audio Tape (DAT) is 48K sampling rate.
Digital recording The trend is to increase the recorded sound to the maximum possible level. This can easily be achieved without incurring overload by over-modulation, uniquely suited to digital recording, in comparison to previous analogue recording. Modern production techniques are often made up of what appears to be an infinite number of competing 'sound grabs'. The dominant objective it to increase average level by adding more and more, including eliminating space within the music (easily achieved with modern software). Once taken to the highest level, the digital recording can then be compacted by excessive over-use of dynamic compression, enabling more to be added.
This childish behaviour in the mis-use of digital recording has resulted in rendering harmonic detail and nuances in-audible, thereby masking the fidelity in music. Possibly the worst perpetrators of this problem are from the proliferate questionable audio recording schools and software merchants who promote these irresponsible practices to impressionable young people desperate to enter the recording and pop industries.
Loss-less un-compressed format is for Pro-audio digital and domestic CD. Silence is recorded and played back at the full file size bit rate.
Loss-less compressed format is similar to a ZIP file that reduces file size by not recording the silence. When played back it replaces the original silence at full file size.
Lossy-compressed Lossy compression is Smoke and Mirrors which evolved from psycho-acoustic research. Silence including selected detail within the music can be discarded without the average person being able to notice, obtaining 30% to 90% reduction in file size. Discarded information can not be retrieved.
MPEG (MP3) Moving Picture Experts Group use a variations of techniques described as "perceptual noise shaping" or "perceptual sub-band transform coding" It is used for internet music downloads where only very small file sizes can be used. MP3 allows for various compression rates to be chosen. But how much information can be throw away without noticeably deteriorating of the quality of sound ?
256Kb/s 5:1 compression Music quality almost indistinguishable from the original CD.
192Kb/s 7:1 compression Popular choice for reasonable quality.
128Kb/s 11:1 compression Popular for internet download music and ipods.
96Kb/s 14:1 compression Easily discernibly lower sound quality than original CD recording.
64Kb/s 22:1 compression Mono speech only don't attempt music.
The best test to hear a comparison of MP3 lossy compression to original un-compressed CD sound is to use white or pink noise, audience applause, rain on a tin roof, a bundle of keys thrown up in the air and caught, and worst of all a Harpsichord.
Achieving an acceptable performance from a very limited bit rate is a technological miracle greater than the biblical parable of the fishes and loaves. However when applied to multi-channel cinema sound we must not loose sight of marketing deception when promoting a brand image for 'white bread' as vitamin enriched. As in a product stripped of nutrients (or necessary bit rate) and selling it as being enriched with cleaver deletion algorithms or artificial vitamins enabling it to taste or sound acceptable. Hopefully when MP99 arrives it will discard clap-trap, boring cliché dialogue and TV commercials as well.
Vinyl Many who grew up in the 60s and 70s with a hi-quality sound system and large vinyl collection can clearly hear the degradation of music quality of most lossy-compressed digital formats. But the majority of the modern digital generation have grown up in an excessively noise polluted world where hearing fine detail in nature and music is often not possible.
It is argued that much of what is recorded on an un-compressed loss-less CD format can not be heard. What cannot be heard, cannot be heard, therefore silence and any sounds below the threshold of hearing, or below the general ambient noise level of 40dBA can be deleted. Loud sounds mask softer sounds and the softer sounds can be deleted when louder sounds are being played. Some frequencies that are close together can mask each other, therefore the masked sounds can be deleted.
The perceived sound quality is dependant on limitations of listener attention, being in a high reverberant environment with ambient noise, listening un-attentively to a small cheap limited fidelity home cinema system while being distracted by vision. The final essential factor is that the listeners expectation has been influenced by marketing.
When all these external factors are combined they effectively mask the distortion anomalies created by the lossy compressed digital sound.
Ambient noise of cinema is approx 40dBA, any sound below this level can be deleted.
Dynamic range between background noise and maximum level is approx 40dB.
Hearing sensitivity of low and high frequencies is limited, only 20dB dynamic range required.
Sound outside of our ability to hear direction (chirping cricket) can be collapsed to mono.
High level sounds psycho-acoustically mask similar sounds of lower level, which can be deleted.
Bit pool: To achieve these deletions, plus many more, requires a sample (every fraction of a second) of the total information to be stored in a bit pool for analysis. Instantaneous decisions are made of what information can be deleted. But when all channels are over-used (at the same time), beyond the capacity of the bit pool, some essential information may have to be dumped.
Depending on the % of deletion, unpredictable outcomes may occur. A frequency band in one channel may be deflected to another. Frequency bands that are similar in different channels may be deleted leaving only the loudest heard. Similar bands from different channels may appear in the center channel. Ringing or pre-echo of percussive or transient sounds may occur etc etc etc.
Psycho-acoustic masking These random artefacts occur within a fraction of a second and are averaged by our hearing and expectation. The majority of non-discerning audience in a cinema do not notice if all channels are collapsed to mono, or if the surrounds are on. Sight can influence what we believe is the direction of sound. Also none of these lossy compression techniques reduce frequency response. For most people hearing high frequencies of any type is thought of as high fidelity.
The above compressed right pic has colours, and some colours are exaggerated, and we clearly see the picture as distorted, this is because the picture remains static in time. However because audio constantly changes in time, we can be more easily fooled. Stand back from the computer screen approx 3 meters (10ft) slightly squint or de-focus the eyes and notice how similar the 2 pictures become. This effect is similar to psycho-acoustic masking.
When audio is digitally compressed the outcome is similar, and some hi-frequencies become exaggerated giving a false perception of fidelity. However an attentive listener can easily hear poor music resolution, smearing, image loss, reduced depth of field and chaotic imbalance between channels.
If the anomalies of lossy compression are not to be heard, it requires a high correlation of similar sounds between the channels. A simple test to hear limitations of lossy compressed 5.1 formats is to put different full fidelity music on each sound track.
This test is unrealistic as this level of sound separation is not required for multi-channel sound in film production. But this test will reveal the limitations and demonstrate what can be achieved. The simplest test that can be achieved is people simultaneously speaking different languages, recorded and then played back, with consistent separation results from each channel. However if the people are rotated as if on a merry-go round, strange things can start to happen.
Demonstration trailers promoting digital sound often consist of loud impressive animated computer sounds with minimal transients and harmonics, heard through mostly limited fidelity speaker systems, where the limitations and anomalies of lossy compression are not heard. Also the majority of companies behind digital technology are secretive, aggressively protect their interests and do not openly disclose problems and limitations.
The future aim for when digital cinema is available, is that the audio will hopefully be available in loss-less compressed format replayed exactly as the original recording was made. Only then will the sound fidelity and channel separation match the best analogue magnetic format of the past without its limitations.
One idea is that the film will be delivered on large format CDs and loaded into high speed hard drives from which the film will then be shown. However these decisions are not yet finalised.
www.www.mkpe.com Has a good critical historical explanation of digital sound formats.
www.jpeg.org go to JPEG 2000 link for new digital cinema standards.
Digital fidelity "Multi-channel digital transmission (encoding and decoding) that utilizes low bandwidth optical recording techniques is a compromise that must be appreciated for what it represents as an alternative to previous linear formats. Data compression, bit errors and dropouts are inherent in all restricted bandwidth systems that favour dynamic range as opposed to bandwidth and linearity.
Work done in the field of digital telephony has resulted in improved speech intelligibility at the expense of fidelity. This is of little concern for a dialog or sound effects channel but is entirely another matter for music. As the majority of cinematic productions are a complex mix of all these ingredients it is little wonder that music fidelity is masked by competing sound components that can be 6 to 10dB higher in level.
The musical content of a modern production can thus be seen as a series of 'sound grabs' competing with every other component in the mix. This aesthetic masking has now become a method of increasing the average levels without incurring overload by over-modulation".

Study Finds Chronic Pain Drives Patients to Use Medical Marijuana
As of 2018, 33 states and the District of Columbia have approved the medical use of cannabis, while 10 states have legalized marijuana for recreational use. Despite this fact, at the federal level, marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act, defined as a drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
New research from the University of Michigan, published in the February issue of Health Affairs, takes a deeper dive into state medical marijuana registry data to provide more insight into its use.
"We did this study because we wanted to understand the reasons why people are using cannabis medically, and whether those reasons for use are evidence based," says lead author Kevin Boehnke, Ph.D., research investigator in the department of anesthesiology and the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center.
He and his U-M colleagues Daniel J. Clauw, M.D., a professor of anesthesiology, medicine, and psychiatry and Rebecca L. Haffajee, Ph.D., assistant professor of health management and policy, as well as U-M alum Saurav Gangopadhyay, M.P.H., a consultant at Deloitte, sought out data from states with legalized medical use of marijuana.
To examine patterns of use, the researchers grouped patient-reported qualifying conditions (i.e. the illnesses/medical conditions that allowed a patient to obtain a license) into evidence categories pulled from a recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine report on cannabis and cannabinoids. The report, published in 2017, is a comprehensive review of 10,000 scientific abstracts on the health effects of medical and recreational cannabis use. According to the report, there was conclusive or substantial evidence that chronic pain, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and multiple sclerosis (MS) spasticity symptoms were improved as a result of cannabis treatment.
Evidence-based relief
One major finding of the Health Affairs paper was the variability of available data. Less than half of the states had data on patient-reported qualifying conditions and only 20 reported data on the number of registered patients. The authors also noted that the number of licensed medical users, with 641,176 registered medical cannabis patients in 2016 and 813,917 in 2017, was likely far lower than the actual number of users.
However, with the available data, they found that the number of medical cannabis patients rose dramatically over time and that the vast majority — 85.5 percent — of medical cannabis license holders indicated that they were seeking treatment for an evidence-based condition, with chronic pain accounting for 62.2 percent of all patient-reported qualifying conditions.
"This finding is consistent with the prevalence of chronic pain, which affects an estimated 100 million Americans," the authors state.
This research provides support for legitimate evidence-based use of cannabis that is at direct odds with its current drug schedule status, notes Boehnke. This is especially important as more people look for safer pain management alternatives in light of the current opioid epidemic.
Notes Boehnke, "Since the majority of states in the U.S. have legalized medical cannabis, we should consider how best to adequately regulate cannabis and safely incorporate cannabis into medical practice."

World Summit for Free Information Infrastructures
(WSFII) was a gathering of DIY infrastructure enthusiasts from around the world. WSFII marked the culmination of a series of meetings of Free Wireless Network communities that had sprung up in the wake of the deregulation of the 2.4Ghz citizen wifi spectrum in the 90s. Tinkerers, engineers, artists, community groups and activists had found new ways to use, interpret and deploy technologies on this newly opened bandwidth, and had begun to network internationally. WSFII reinforced the diffusion of this network into a broader ecosystem of complimentary approaches to the self-provision of communication, energy and societal infrastructures. The two-day summit included tracks on Free (as in speech) Money, Open Scientific Data, Free Networks, Free Hardware, Open Licensing, and Creative Commons. One of the most interesting infrastructures created and used at WSFII was 'The Lime' community currency. Peter Brownell designed and printed up this event currency especially for WSFII, which was accepted as legal tender in local shops, cafés, pubs and even in the local illicit bar. 10% of whatever was spent in Limes during WSFII was kicked back to the bank, which funded the entire event. WSFII featured the first OKCon (the annual meeting of the Open Knowledge Foundation), and played host to the first BookSprint, Wireless Networking for Development.
London Co-organisers: Jo Walsh, Rufus Pollock (OKFN) and Julian Priest (informal.org.uk / consume.net) and Peter Brownell.
WSFII-worldwide coordinators including Shekhar Krishnan, Arun Mehta, Juergen Neumann and Cven from FreiFunk.net, Tomas Krag and Sebastian Buettrich from wire.less.dk, Sylvia Cadena, Bjarke Nielsen (Djurslands.net), Nagarjuna G, Gregers Petersen and many others.

Artist Mark Nelson – Fantasy Drawing Walk-Through
Materials Mark Nelson used:
Strathmore Toned Grey Paper. (These are smoother papers which is good. Some drawing papers have too much texture and fight with detail in line work.)
Vanish 4-in-1 Eraser
Prismacolor Pencils (Black and White)
Verithin Black Pencil
"Toned Paper Drawing" by Mark A. Nelson
For me, I start to develop the forms of the figures with just line/contour. I try to get a feel for the lights and darks by the line weight. In other words, I apply more pressure to the pencils and create a heavier, darker line and then lighten that pressure to give it less weight. I try not to to create a constant line around the figures, but one that with thick and thin can start to develop the light direction also.
I am going to use the three steps of creating space. The Foreground which is closest to the viewer, the Middle ground is the mid-level of the stage and finally the Background which is the last layer. So if you think of the picture plane in these three levels, it does not matter how deep your space is, it can easily be broken down into these elements. The second step in this process is light. I am going to have a dark object in the foreground, my major lights and focal point will be in the middle ground and the back ground will be the second darkest area. So now I'm rendering this as a darker form.
The background is started, and here I try to keep the values closer. To create a softer background I will restrict the values and keep them close in range.
I'm starting to bring in detail to the middle ground. This is the area I will want the viewer to look at first. It will be the focal point of the whole panel. So it will have the strongest lights, darks and the most visible detail in the drawing (also having the biggest value range).
Working still from the background forward, I try to keep the first two figures softer and darker, and then, adding more detail and surface decoration tot he second and third figure. The figure closest is still the darkest.
Balanced out all the value and line work and next the whites, highlights, and touch ups to make the Foreground, Middleground and Background work together.
The whites are now added and adjustments made to make the space work. I've tried to make you look at the two mid-ground figures. They have the brightest lights, darkest darks and most visible details. Foreground and background have closer value and some small highlights, but not as bold as the middle ground.
Mark A. Nelson is known world-wide for his body of work done in a style which has been described as "carefully articulated".

Apple fans who expected an iPhone 5 today were disappointed.
Instead, all Apple unveiled was a phone that's 2 times faster, with 7 times faster graphics rendering. It's got a battery that's good for a full day of talking, almost, and more than 3 solid days of listening to music. The camera is substantially improved, with a faster, f2.4 lens and an 8 megapixel sensor, and it records 1080p HD video. It's a worldphone, meaning it will work on just about any cellular network around the world, both CDMA and GSM.
Oh, and you can talk to your phone, and it will answer your questions, thanks to a new feature called Siri.
Full story: It's not the iPhone 5, but the iPhone 4S looks pretty amazing | VentureBeat.

The study focuses on several fundamental aspects of one of the most interesting chapels in the region of the Po Valley during a period (1580-1650) characterized by incessant experimentation. Within this framework, the financial dynamics stand out as important to the evolution of the personnel and the Lenten complines. From one standpoint, they assisted the growing commitment of the congregation of S. Antonio in maintaining the expenses of a chapel that between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries not only increased the number of musicians, but also expanded the space assigned to liturgical music. The investigation, in particular, draws connections between the evolution of the the annual budget of the ARCA and the economic investments required by the ever more burdensome demands of vocal-instrumental groups of considerable size. As for the increase in the number of permanent personnel, the study takes into account several peculiarities that concern the voices of the higher registers and the configuation of the instrumental sphere. In this sphere, as was the case in the most prestigious established chapels of Northern Italy, one of the most important innovations towards the end of the 1640s consisted of the substitution of trombones with viols. The experimentation with new configurations that were introduced in the concerti composed for the most important feasts of the year concerned, above all, the feast of S. Antonio and the Lenten complines. These last featured a distinctive scoring that was used in only a few churches in Northern Italy (Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo and the Steccata in Parma). The employment of temporary singers and instrumentalists active in Padua and, in some cases, coming from other cities (primarily Venice), allowed the chapel at S. Antonio to introduce a sumptuous polychoral sound and make use of especially interesting spatial arrangements. The magnificence with which the last canonical hour of the day was celebrated shows how even at S. Antonio, the discipline of the post-Tridentine era is circumvented by the Baroque conceptions that established a strong correlation between devotional ethos and spectacle, assigning to music the role of promoting piety in the faithful.

Herb Elliott AC MBE
James Herbert 'Herb' Elliott AC MBE (b. 1938), runner, won the gold medal in the 1500 metres at the Rome Olympics in 1960. The time he set in that event, 3 minutes 35.6 seconds, was not bettered for seven years. Having been schooled amidst the sports culture of Aquinas College, Perth, the young Elliott pursued a severe training regime devised by his coach, Percy Cerutty, who would exhort him to speed up by reminding him that 'it's only pain.' Winner, also, of two Commonwealth gold medals in 1958, Elliott ran the sub-four-minute mile seventeen times, and he was never beaten on level terms over a mile or 1 500 metres. He retired from athletics in 1961, after three scintillating years at the top. Later, he served on the boards of companies including Australian Portland Cement Ltd, Puma and Ansell Ltd; he is currently Chair of the Fortescue Metals Group and the Telstra Foundation. A Living National Treasure, he carried the Olympic flame into the stadium at the opening of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

'Unsung Hero' of Hawk's Athletics
Samantha Fuller, News Editor|January 12, 2023
Imagine accidentally being put in an athletic science class when expecting to be in a yearbook class.
This is what happened to Megan Cox, the athletic trainer, in high school. The yearbook class was full, so she had no choice but to finish the class.
What Cox did not know was that class would set her up for her dream job.
Cox fell in love with the class, and since then, she has known that athletic training was something she wanted to pursue.
This is Cox's sixth year working at Lakeland High School since she got her master's degree.
Athletic trainers are very crucial for schools to have in order to help injured athletes.
However, Cox's favorite thing about her job at LHS is the kids she gets to interact with every day.
"It's also all about the little things. When a student comes to tell me how excited they are that they got their driver's license, or even just take the time to come by and say hi, and to tell me about their day," said Cox. "It's the connections that I have the opportunity to make, that makes all the difference."
Many people do not understand how complex athletic training really is.
This job contains a lot of traveling with teams, long hours, and tricky situations.
Cox believes that athletic trainers are "unsung heroes" in schools and the medical field.
Many people only see the parts of Cox's job that seem easier, like filling water bottles, wrapping ankles, and watching the games.
However, most of Cox's job is hard work that is done behind closed doors. She spends many hours trying to ensure that everyone is safe, healthy, and ready for physical activity.
There is a lot of training that goes into becoming an athletic trainer. There are also many things that athletic trainers know how to do, even in emergencies, hence why it is so important to have athletic trainers at school.
"The hours of training spent to make sure that if heaven forbid, an incident happens that puts an athlete's life at risk, we know how to save their life. We are the glue between coaches, parents, athletes, and other medical professionals," said Cox.
Over the past six years, Cox has made many bonds with the students at LHS. Many athletes have to visit Cox often for help. Students at LHS believe that Cox is not only very good at her job, but also very inspiring to the student body.
Students like John Cornish have become very close to Cox.
"Megan is the type of person that I can talk about anything with," said Cornish. "Megan is like the ribbon on a present for the whole program. She holds it all together."

Being that Aleph's personality and loyalties are decided by the player. Aleph has no solid background, as such we can not use him on this website.
Thev Source and The Presence are essentially The Same character despite being known by different names and it makes no sense for The Presence to empower a combatant that he himself was going to fight.
Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are two different versions of the same character from the same timeline. As such they cannot be used in a fight together.
Commander Shepard's Gender, personality, and abilities are all decided by the player no solid background on the character exists. This makes using Commander Shepard on this website impossible.

The Trouble With the TPP, Day 32: Illusory Safeguards Against Encryption Backdoors
The news that the U.S. government has obtained a court order requiring Apple to assist law enforcement to break the encryption on an iPhone owned by one of the San Bernadino terrorists has sparked widespread concern. There is some debate over the scope of the judicial order – Techdirt points out that the order does not require Apple to break its encryption but rather allow the government to "brute force" the password without deleting the data – but it is clear that the goal is to limit the effectiveness of the encryption protections found on the popular device. Apple has issued a public letter stating its view that this is a dangerous precedent that could be repeated over and over again. Indeed, if a U.S. court can issue such an order, there is seemingly nothing to stop other governments from doing the same.
What does this have to do with the TPP?
The U.S. has suggested that the TPP would address these issues, claiming that the agreement:

You're on Your Own: How the Government Wants Canadians To Sacrifice Their Personal Security
Another week, another revelation originating from the seemingly unlimited trove of Edward Snowden documents. Last week, the CBC reported that Canada was among several countries whose surveillance agencies actively exploited security vulnerabilities in a popular mobile web browser used by hundreds of millions of people. Rather than alerting the company and the public that the software was leaking personal information, they viewed the security gaps as a surveillance opportunity.
My weekly technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) notes that in the days before Snowden, these reports would have sparked a huge uproar. More than half a billion people around the world use UC Browser, the mobile browser in question, suggesting that this represents a massive security leak. At stake was information related to users' identity, communication activities, and location data – all accessible to telecom companies, network providers, and surveillance agencies.
The Issue with CSEC Handing over encryption codes to the NSA
I talked to Global News about the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) handing over encryption codes to the NSA. Canada appears to have opened a backdoor for surveillance by the USA.

Canada Complicit in Undermining Internet Privacy
As the tidal wave of disclosures on widespread U.S. surveillance continues – there is now little doubt that the U.S. government has spent billions creating a surveillance infrastructure that covers virtually all Internet and wireless communications – the question of Canada's role in these initiatives remains largely shrouded in secrecy.
The Canadian government has said little, but numerous reports suggest that agencies such as the Communications Security Establishment Canada (the CSE is the Canadian counterpart to the U.S. National Security Agency) are engaged in similar kinds of surveillance. This includes capturing metadata of Internet and wireless communications and working actively with foreign intelligence agencies to swap information obtained through the data mining of Internet-based surveillance.
My weekly technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) notes the active connection between Canadian and U.S. officials moved to the forefront last week with reports that Canadian officials may have played a starring role in facilitating U.S. efforts to create a "backdoor" to widely used encryption standards. That initiative has been described as "undermining the very fabric of the Internet."

Drink Water To Lose Weight How Much Do You Need?
A reader recently posted a question asking me to explain how weight loss works. It's complicated, but in a nutshell, here are the basics: Ideally, weight loss is about pulling excess body fat out of your fat cells and burning it for fuel.... Weight tends to be evenly spread out so they still keep their figure, but hourglass body types are more likely to gain weight around the face, arms, knees, and ankles. What to Eat! An overall healthy diet is key to keeping a shapely and healthy body.
When you eat fewer calories than your body needs, your body will burn fat to make up the difference -- and gradually, you'll lose weight. One pound of body fat equals about 3,500 calories. how to plan cheap flights While weight loss may be your motivation, you might need extra incentive to lose weight. An upcoming marathon, an invitation to a class reunion or a holiday cruise are all ideal ways to make yourself work out. Tape a reminder of your goal on your weight-loss workout plan to keep it fresh in your mind as you workout.
To lose weight, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends 60 to 90 minutes of cardio four or five days a week. Step 6 Build muscle and improve your appearance with upper-body exercises that target your chest, abdomen and entire back area. how to move your steam games onto a different drive When does your body start burning fat? Often this requires three to four weeks of doing something consistently and then you will only usually see and feel very small changes starting to happen.
When you lose weight, and especially when you lose weight very quickly, these elastic components of your skin not only lose the layers of fat that keep them stretched out over your body, but they also don't have much time for their elasticity to adapt to your new shape.
Use common sense, listen to your body, be mindful of what you eat, and pass on expensive, risky, and worthless weight loss schemes or products that are unproven.
When does your body start burning fat? Often this requires three to four weeks of doing something consistently and then you will only usually see and feel very small changes starting to happen.
