With autumnal equinox receding in the rear-view mirror here in the Northern Hemisphere, we're entering a period of chilly (not to mention gloomy and rainy) weather. Which is good news, in a way. Because chilly season means chili season.
During the cooler months, we have chili frequently—at least once a week. And although we make chili using all sorts of ingredients (including a mean vegetarian Sweet Potato Chili with Black Beans), there's something special about a chili that's heavy on the meat.
And when it comes to meatiness, nothing beats Texas chili. It typically contains loads of meat and chilies—and not much else. Just the thing to take the chill off.
In a state as vast as Texas, no single chili recipe can be considered "the" authentic one. The varieties of chile peppers used in west Texas differ a bit from those used in east Texas, for example. But there is one constant: Traditionally, Texas-style chili contains no beans (though you'll sometimes find Texas chili served over beans).
Some purists also say there should be no onion or tomato in Texas-style chili. Frank X. Tolbert has an excellent recipe for just such a spartan chili in his book, A Bowl of Red (a history of Texas chili).
But we've lived in Texas ourselves—and can report that we were served plenty of chili that contained onions and/or tomatoes. Even Lady Byrd Johnson's recipe for Pedernales River Chili contains both these ingredients.
What really distinguishes Texas chili from most other kinds is the minimal liquid it contains. It's not at all soupy, so the flavor of the meat dominates.
Our recipe contains onions (and some garlic), but no tomato. But feel free to substitute tomato for beef broth if you wish—that makes a really good variation.
Active prep time for this recipe is 45 minutes or so. Cooking time adds at least another 2 hours (most of it unattended).
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings. It's easy to double the amount if you're feeding a huge crowd (this dish is excellent for a football tailgate, BTW). If the recipe makes more than you can use at one time, leftovers freeze well.
This is a great make-ahead dish. The chili gains flavor if it spends the night in the refrigerator, and is then reheated the next day.
If you're using dried red chile peppers, you should start by preparing them: Wipe the chilies with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or dust. Then place the chilies in a skillet over lowish heat and toast them until fragrant (usually 2 minutes or so; don't overtoast—they'll become bitter). Remove the toasted chile peppers from the skillet and place them in a bowl. Cover the chilies with hot water (preferably boiling) and soak them for 30 minutes. While the chilies are soaking, you can move on to prepping the meat (Step 3 below). Or if you'd like to complete the chile preparation before you go further with the recipe, proceed to Step 2 once the chilies have finished soaking.
Now prepare the meat (as noted above, you can start this process right after Step 1 if you prefer): Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then cut it into chunks of ¼ to ½ inch. Salt the meat to season it. Heat a frying pan (cast iron is ideal) and add enough oil or lard to just cover the bottom of the pan. Add the chunks of meat to the pan and brown them thoroughly on all sides (this will takes 5 minutes or a bit less—smaller pieces brown more quickly). Don't overcrowd the pan, since the meat won't brown well if you do. You will probably need to brown the meat in two or more batches, adding more fat to the pan between batches if necessary. When each batch of meat is fully browned, remove the chunks of meat to a plate covered with paper towels (so the grease can drain).
While the meat is browning, peel and dice the onions. Warm a large cooking pot or Dutch oven—a 4-quart size is good—over medium heat (this is what you'll be using to cook the chili). When the Dutch oven is warm, add a tablespoon of olive oil or lard and allow it to heat (it will shimmer when it's hot). Then add the diced onions, season with salt, and cook until the onions are just on the verge of browning (5 to 8 minutes). While the onions are cooking, move on to Steps 5 and 6.
Peel the garlic and mince it finely (or slice it thinly).
Wash the jalapeño peppers (if using) and cut them lengthwise (you may want to wear rubber gloves while doing this step). Use a teaspoon to scoop out the ribs and seeds (be careful, the oil on these is hot; keep fingers away from your eyes). Chop the peppers into very small dice (or use a mini food processor). Place the peppers in a bowl until you're ready to use them, then wash your hands with soap and water to remove the hot jalapeño oil from your skin (if you didn't wear rubber gloves). You may want to reserve a slice or two of jalapeño for garnish.
When the onions are on the verge of browning, add the chopped garlic and jalapeño and cook them for a minute or two.
Add the browned meat to the Dutch oven or cooking pot, along with the chile mixture from Step 2. Add the cumin, coriander, and oregano, and stir the mixture. Allow to simmer for a few minutes.
Next add the beef broth: Start with 2 cups or so, just enough to barely cover the meat (though you'll probably need to add more as the chili cooks and the liquid evaporates; you don't want to cook away all of the liquid). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover the pot with a lid, leaving a crack.
Set a kitchen timer for 30 minutes. Allow the chili mixture to simmer until the timer goes off, then taste the sauce. Add salt if necessary. If you want a spicier chili, you can add some dried chile powder (ancho would be good) or a bit of hot sauce.
Cook the chili at a simmer for at least another hour and a half (it tastes good after 2 hours total cooking—but even better if you cook it for 3 or 4 hours). Add more beef broth (or water, if you run out of beef broth) during the cooking process if the liquid seems to be evaporating too quickly.
When you're ready to serve the chili: If the mixture is too soupy, you can add some masa harina (say ¼ cup) or cornmeal and let it cook for 10 or 15 minutes—that should tighten up the chili. Or just cook the chili a bit longer (what we usually do) to let more of the liquid evaporate. Or just serve a bit soupy—it's good that way, too.
We like to serve this chili with a garnish of jalapeño pepper slices. Chopped onions or grated cheddar cheese work well too. Oyster crackers are a classic accompaniment.
A refresher on terminology: A "chile" (with an e) is a pepper; the plural is chilies. Chilies can be either fresh or dried. When you dry chile peppers and grind them up, you produce chile powder. Chile powder contains nothing but chilies. By contrast, chili (with an i) powder is a mixture of herbs and spices that includes chile powder as one of its ingredients. Peppers and powders can both be used to flavor the dish called "chili." Totally clear, eh?
Ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chilies and are the most common varieties you'll find wherever whole chilies are sold. Many supermarkets will carry at least one of these. Ancho is the mildest, and also the variety most often found in Texas chili.
Worried about the heat level of the chilies? Then use no more than 6 whole chilies the first time you make this dish. If the resulting chili is too wimpy for your taste, it's easy enough to add dried chile powder as the dish cooks.
Don't want to mess with whole chilies? Just substitute 2 to 4 tablespoons of chile powder instead. Definitely use ancho (it's traditional in Texas chili). These days you can find ancho chile powder in almost any supermarket. It has great taste, and is fairly mild. We also like to add some medium Hatch chile powder. And if you want to kick things up a bit, add some chipotle chile powder too.
When we don't use whole chilies, we find that two tablespoons of chile powder yields a fairly mild chili (so we generally increase the amount to four tablespoons). You may prefer less spice than we do (or more). That's why in Step 10 we have you taste the chili—so you can adjust the seasoning.
You can also substitute chili powder for chile powder(s) in this recipe. As noted above, however, chili powder contains seasonings in addition to dried powdered chilies. If you go this route, use 3 to 5 tablespoons of chili powder. Reduce the cumin, coriander, and oregano by about half, or eliminate them altogether (since these flavors generally are incorporated into chili powder). The taste of the finished dish won't be as crisp if you use chili powder, but you'll still be pleased with it.
For this recipe, you should use a cut of meat that will hold its texture during the long cooking process. We like to use chuck roast, which is flavorful and relatively inexpensive (and when you cut up chuck roast, it's easy to follow the natural muscle separations, which makes things go faster). But any stewing cut of beef will work. Top or bottom round also works well. If in doubt, tell your butcher what you want to make—he'll have some suggestions. And if you don't want to cut up your own chuck roast, the butcher can do that for you, too.
Instead of oil or lard, you may want to substitute rendered bacon fat in this recipe—it adds excellent flavor. (You can even use the bacon from which you rendered the fat; just chop it up and toss it into the cooking pot).
Instead of beef broth, we often use beef base (we add water to the base to make "stock"). Beef base is stock that's been cooked down until it becomes a paste—and we think it's better than most canned broths. You can usually find beef base in the soup aisle of your supermarket. We like the brand called Better Than Bouillon, but there are other good ones out there. (BTW, we receive no compensation for recommending this brand; we're just enthusiastic users of their products.) You can also substitute plain water for beef broth or base—though of course this will have less flavor.
Kosher salt is more coarse than regular table salt, so it's less salty by volume. If you're substituting table salt for Kosher, always use less—about half as much. If the dish isn't salty enough for your taste, you can always add more later.
Cooks have developed many variations on Texas chili. Some include beer or strong coffee as part of the liquid. Some add chocolate and/or cinnamon (or allspice) to the mix. Some cooks like to cut the beef into chunks of 1 or 2 inches (too big in our opinion—how do you fit that on a spoon?). Others prefer to grind the beef coarsely (a ¼- or ½-inch grind would be about right). The bottom line? There are lots of ways to make "authentic" Texas chili.
"What intense flavor!" said Mrs. Kitchen Riffs, spooning her Texas-Style Chili con Carne.
"It's a perfect dish for watching football," I said.
"Too bad your favorite teams are the St. Louis Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers," said Mrs K R.
"Well, a hearty bowl of this chili would definitely make their games more palatable," said Mrs K R.
"Especially with a brewski or two," I said.
"Don't remind me," I winced.
The Chili looks perfect for this rainy weather. I liked how you used the chunks of meat. The ingredients you used in this recipe makes it a very flavorful Chili.
We have had some amazing weather in Denver and if not for the chill that washes over us once darkness settles in I could imagine it's much earlier in the season than it is. Which I love but I also know this...the cold is coming and when it does I want chili. Nothing better than chili with chiles and meat. Nothing!
As a born and raised Texan I have eaten every kind of chili that you can imagine. The only hard and fast rule being that real Texas chili NEVER contains beans. I love your use of chunks of meat although I do like very coarsely ground too. The color of yours is perfect. I think even my dad would approve and he was the official chili cooker in our family.
Hi Shibi, it's been gloomy here, so this has been wonderful! And chunky chili is fun to eat -- great texture. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Barb, chili really warms you up, doesn't it? I love the stuff! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Karen, I almost went with a coarse grind for this dish, but chunks are more fun (a bit better mouth feel, IMO). And I do like chili with beans -- but I don't call it Texas chili! Thanks for the comment.
This is on my list of dishes to make and I am glad you shared a great recipe with notes about authenticity and tips about cooking it. This will be a great crowd pleasing tail gate dish! Thank you!
The gloomy weather has arrived here today, John and let me tell you, you couldn't have chosen a better day to share stick to the ribs Texas Chili! I LOVE the stuff! As a matter of fact, I have Tolbert's book around here somewhere, lol...Unfortunately, Marion does not feel the same way about Chili but when my son-in-law visits, look out!!!
Wow John, I love the idea of really meaty chili...this sure looks delicious and packed with flavors...great for a cold evening meal.
Hi Ansh, this really is a great recipe for a football game! And really good flavor -- it's a winner! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Louise, Tolbert's book is really entertaining -- I hadn't read it for years, but pulled it out when I was writing this post. Really fun read! And your son-in-law will love this stuff. You too, of course. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Juliana, it really doesn't get meatier than this! It's really good stuff -- perfect for cold weather. Thanks for the comment.
Afternoon John , it's time for chili and your will be the first of the season . Chili season at my house starts after Columbus Day . I like the idea of the chunks of meat , and of course it will have onion and garlic . I think I will make your rolls to go along . Dinner is complete . Thanks for sharing :) ... I am pinning .
This looks super delicious and comforting, ideal for both Autumn and Winter!
HI John, it's in the nineties here today but I could eat this chili anytime of year, looks great!
Yay for chili season! This recipe is awesome, I love how you start with the actual dried chilis --- and this has to be the meatiest version I've ever seen, love it!
Man oh man does that have my mouth watering! It looks flavorful, hearty, and so delicious!
Hi Dottie, isn't chili wonderful? We can't get enough of it in chilly weather. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Charlie, wow, thats some difference in weather! And even though I didn't use tomatoes in this particular batch, I think they go wonderfully well in chili. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Nee, I don't think it's chili without onion and garlic! Just not the same for me. The rolls would go great with this! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Denise, it really is comforting -- great food for this time of the year. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Cheri, when we lived in Florida and it was hot we'd eat chili anyway, just because we love it so! But it's particularly nice when it's cool, I think. Thanks. for the comment.
Hi Sue, yay indeed! My favorite season. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Pam, it was making my mouth water too, as I was making it! Really good stuff. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Now that's a bowl of chili!!! Interesting discussion on authentic Texas chili. No onions nor tomatoes? How on earth do you make chili without onions? How do you make ANYTHING without onions? :) Even with onion in the chili, I still would put some raw onion on top. Love the big chunks of meats rather than ground beef. I'm usually not a big Texas chili fan, but your bowl has me wanting to make a pot. Great recipe John! Thanks!
Hi MJ, I'll never make chili without onions! I've tasted versions without, and they're OK (anything with loads of chile flavor is going to be OK). But versions with onions have much more depth. And I like tomatoes, too. Thanks for the comment.
Just what I want to curl up with while watching the SF Giants win on TV. LOL It really is a great dish just made for a lazy day of sports watching.
Hi Carolyn, oh sure, rub it in. ;-) And chili and sports just seem to go together, don't they? Thanks for the comment.
Stewed meat is by far one of my FAVORITEEEEEEEEE things ever!!!!! So tender and juicy, just melts in your mouth!
I haven't seen such a wholesome chilli con carne for a while, it is always so watery and boring when my friends order it!
This looks delicious - and be sure to enjoy it while you watch Kansas City playing in the World Series!
Damn delicious and comforting spicy chili con carne!!!
Love that this uses dried chilis. Perfect, perfect dish for fall and winter.
Now this is chili! It is amazing how taking the time to grind your own chilies can add so much! Manservant would eat chili every day if I made it. Thanks, John. This is superb!
Hi GiGi, I know how excited this recipe must make you! :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Kumar, this really is soul-warming food! And tasty, too -- who can beat that? Thanks for the comment.
Hi Uru, there's very little sauce in this chili, that's for sure. A real nice treat! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Beth, alas, I think you're right that KC is the only team from Missouri that will be in the series. But we lived in KC long ago, and like it a lot, so it'll be fun to watch the Royals. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Dedy, this truly is delish, and very rich. Really, really good. ;-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Debra, it's fun playing with whole dried chilies, isn't it? Such great flavor! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Rocquie, there are countless versions of "real" Texas chili, thus the passionate discussions -- everyone is convinced "their" chili is the only true version. They're all good, say I! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Abbe, I could probably eat chili everyday too, but pretty soon I'd outgrow all of my clothing! It'd be worth it, though. ;-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Pat, it really is delish! And Texas chili has so many different variations -- you could spend a lifetime, and probably not try every one! Thanks for the comment.
I didn't realize on meaty Texas chili is. This would definitely appeal to both my sons. Thank you for the discussion on chilies----mild---not so mild----substituting amounts etc. Giving you one Poor Baby because of your teams being bottom feeders.
Hi Carol, yeah, both of those teams really stink. But why should this year be any different? ;-) The whole subject of chilies is really interesting -- so much to learn! Thanks for the comment.
This is so my kind of recipe! Really excite to check it out!
Hi Laura, isn't this a fun dish! Loads and loads of flavor! :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hiya John... mouth is watering at the thought of chilli with chunks of meat like that! I must, must, must try this! Many thanks for a great recipe.
John, terrific write-up about chili, Texas chili, and the distinction of chile peppers. I'm loving the beef taking center stage in your recipe, but the slice of jalapeno has me smitten.
I haven't had chili in a long time, but with the cooler weather coming now it sounds so great!
I love adding cumin and coriander - they give such an amazing color - like this texas chili con carne has!
We are totally on the same page today! Not only did I post chili but talked about how it means "Fall" to me. This one looks amazing - I love all of those dried chilies you start with!!
Hi Lizzy, a chili rich with meat like this is a treat now and again! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Brooks, beef has a way of stealing the show when it's on the menu, doesn't it? Thanks for the comment.
Hi Kristi, chili and cool weather are just made for each other, I think. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Shashi, after cinnamon, cumin is my favorite spice! And who can resist coriander in a dish like this? Thanks for the co;mment.
Hi Alyssa, ooohhh, dueling chili! I'll definitely be checking out yours. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Now, this is chili!! Like you, I prefer a chunkier meat in my chili but certainly not beyond spoon-size. That's treading into my stew territory. Thanks, BTW, for naming the varieties of red chiles that you use. Many recipes require "red chiles" and I've no idea which to use. Given that the markets I frequent don't have a wide selection, I'm usually left with jalapeños or red Thai. Now I know what to look for and, if not available, I can check out the dried ones. Most stores have a plentiful selection. Thanks, John, for both the great recipe and helpful info.
I shall walk into the aisle of dried chiles and I shall fear no pepper.
Hi Amy, chili is one of our go-to meals at this time of the year, too. Can't get enough of the stuff! Thanks for the comment.
Hi John, there are an awfully lot of varieties of chilies out there! and all of them good. The ones I mentioned have are particularly good in chili, IMO. Thanks for the comment.
Now that's a meaty, hearty chili. Love it and love that there are so many delicious varieties of chili. It's one thing that I kind of forget about. Thanks for a fabulous reminder that it's chili season!
Gorgeous!! I need a big bowl of this. So going to make this! Thanks for sharing.
oh see now that's how I like my chili, with chunks of beef, not hamburg, but beef.
once I made a chili with short rib meat--heavenly I tell you!
That looks like a super hearty (chunky) chili con carne. I have never experimented using whole meat before, it is often made with mince here in OZ. Hubby is going to love this recipe, thanks.
Hi Chris, I always look forward to chili season! My favorite time of the year. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Asmita, you're so going to enjoy this! :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Dawn, chili made with the meat from short ribs? That does sound like heaven! I gotta try that sometime! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Liz, minced meat is the usual, but chunky really is nice. And it's ideal for Texas-style chili, IMO. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Nami, chilly season is good, isn't it? :-) And chunky is always the best! Well, when it comes to chili, that is.Thanks for your comment.
Oh yes! I'm a huge fan of chili con carne, but I've never tried a texas style one! This is so great!
Hi Marcela, it's definitely worth trying the Texas-style version of this dish at least once -- really good flavor, and loads of meat! Thanks for the comment.
What a coincidence, my husband was just asking me to make some Chile con Carne for him the other day. Most of the supermarkets in Chula Vista, California have all the chiles; I love looking at all of the ancho and arbol chiles on display.
Ooh--so you were a Texas resident once as well? No wonder you know your chili so well! Excellent showing here!
Hi Fran, I love looking at chile displays too! They're so pretty, aren't they? Thanks for the comment.
Hi Ala, we did indeed live in Texas for a few years. And ate a lot of chili there. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Odd that my comment just seemed to disappear. Anyway, this could be a duplicate. Just wanted to say I had no idea beans weren't a necessary chili ingredient, but I could see with all that delicious looking meat, why you wouldn't want to add them to this chili.
Hi Kristi, I actually prefer chili with beans, but traditionally they aren't included in Texas-style chili. So although I like this dish, a lot, tend to make more kinds of chili where beans are an option. Thanks for the comment.
Aha! Now I would add the tomato and leave out the onion. There is a special something to chili con carne and we all turn back to it time and time again.
This looks very tasty, John! I didn't know chili con carne came with different versions. I definitely agree that chillies are a great idea to heat up from the cold.
Hi Suzanne, chili con carne really is good stuff, isn't it? And onions or no, tomato or no, it's all good. ;-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Julie, although there are all sort of variations for chili con carne, I guess at heart it's all the same dish. Good, no matter how you make it! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Helene, I guess with your climate chilly weather doesn't come around all that often! But this is good in hot weather too -- just add more chilies. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Greg, I've not had chili with tofu. And I'm not likely to, either! :-) Thanks for the comment.
I make my chili with ground beef, but next batch will be with chuck. I'd have to add onion and tomatoes...can't wait to give it a try!
Hi Liz, chili with chunky chuck has soooo much flavor. :-) And although I didn't include tomato in this recipe, it really does make a good chili. Thanks for the comment.
I'm not looking forward to the chilly weather, but chili I'm OK with :) Great recipe!
Hi Ashley, I like chilly weather, but not real cold weather. But I'm with you -- chili any time! :-) Thanks for the comment.
You have chili once a week? Wow. I think my hubby would like to move in with you! We eat a lot too, esp during football season but I can't do it every week. Though, I make mine with beans and maybe that's the problem! I do use stew meat like you do and I think I would like yours! I could possibly eat it every week :) Looks fantastic.
Hi Raymund, I really like the chunky texture of this, too. And the flavor is awesome! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Nazneen, when we make chili, we always make a big batch and freeze it much of it. So it's easy to pull some out of the freezer for a quick dinner. Also, we make a lot of vegetarian chili, so it's not always a meat chili each week. But I definitely could eat this once a week! It's really good. Thanks for the comment.
Can you believe that, even I live in Latin America, I've never prepared chili con carne before?
But with your perfect recipe, I will.
Thanks for sharing this great, comforting treat for colder days.
Those Texans and their Chili. All I know is that I've heard no beans ever should be found in Texas Chili. Thanks to you, I'm now craving chili and I've not made it yet this year.
Hi Daniela, with the great beef you have there, this dish is a natural! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Lea Ann, I think the no beans thing is the main deal when it comes to Texas chili. Although beans in chili are awfully good! Thanks for the comment.
Love this no bean version. Chunky, comforting and warm.
Hi Lail, isn't this nice? Loads of flavor, tons of comfort. :-) Thanks for the comment.
I have read that in Texas that they don't use beans in their chili. I have never had this type of chili before. I love your recipe, it sounds like it would have a ton of flavor and I love the beef.
Hi Dawn, this chili definitely has a ton of beefy flavor to it! And that's a good thing, IMO. ;-) Thanks for the comment.
Hi Kiran, it really is delish! This batch is gone -- we need to make another. ;-) Thanks for the comment.
How perfect for a tailgate party. I've never seen a tailgate party in Australia but I sure do remember them when I lived in Knoxville. Before every UT game it was car to car parties in the parking lot.
Hi Maureen, tailgating is huge on fall Saturdays (college football) and Sundays (professional). And chili is a staple at many of those tailgates! Thanks for the comment.
We are in month six of of low-carb. I have already bookmarked this - in MN one needs hearty dinners and the usual comfort of mashed potatoes an peans and pasta will derail all of our previous deprivation. Love the difference in chili/chilie powders. Had no idea. I am woefully ignorant when it come to Texas cooking but more than happy to eat it! Also loves that it freezes. Yes, this will be made!
Hi Claudia, this is a wonderful dish! And perfect for low-carb. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Terra, this chili sure packs a lot of flavor into each bowl! Really good stuff. :-) Thanks for the comment.

A: you can use file_get_contents() but i think curl is the best way.
and this a nice PHP Class you must know http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

The Players Championship, or The Players for short, is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour. The tournament began 1974 and was held at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Georgia. The location of the tournament moved to different country clubs for the next few years. In 1982 the tournament was played at TPC Sawgrass, where it has been played ever since. For many years, the Players Championship offered the highest prize fund of any tournament in golf until 2017 when it was overtaken by the U.S. Open. The field usually includes the top 50 players in the world rankings, but unlike the three major championships or two World Golf Championships events staged in the United States, it is not an official event on the European Tour. The Players has often been considered the unofficial "fifth major" due to its prestige. This lot features a clubhouse badge (#1996) from the first Tournament Players Championship held at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Until couple of years ago, every webpage had to merely depend upon the META description, directory, and title tags for boosting the performance of their webpage. It was the only source for increasing their webpage ranking. These days, Google is working on better techniques that will reward the companies that offer great user experience, without adopting any shortcut for achieving them. As per the rule anyone found using shortcut, will be heavily penalized. SEO Company is usually expected to be aware of such rules and need to take care of these factors, while designing one for their clients need.
In order to optimize the search engine, your webpage needs to have good content in it. The contents should be genuine and to the point. The information on the webpage should benefit the user and provide an answer to all their queries. In other words, your content should engage your visitors and should be useful for them. Visitors usually don't have enough time to read the notes in an elaborated manner. Have a blog on your website and update with new posts regularly as Google loves new content.
All the details should be quick and accurate. If they find anything uninteresting then they might just move ahead to check the details from another website. The point is, whatever content you choose has to be for the visitors and for not optimizing the search engine. The content that you publish on your webpage should be unique and not a duplicate of another article that has been published somewhere else. Google is strictly against such a practice and adopt strict process to penalize the wrong doers. Google Authorship is a new concept, and the company is expected to be aware of this term.
Usually the omitted pages are not considered for ranking purposes at all. If Google finds that you have duplicated the content by spam or other methods, then they will immediately drop the rankings of your page.
Keyword selection is another important factor that cannot be over looked at any point in time. The keyword should talk about the type of services you specialize in and what all you could for your clients. If you miss on any of the information then it will not serve your purpose at all. A proper selection of keyword will increase the traffic to your webpage and improve your chances of earning maximum returns from your business.
Your SEO Company should be aware of the term called over-optimization. Excessive information, contents, interlinking, and other things are some of the factors that can cause over optimization. If you think by doing such things, you webpage ranking will increase then you are wrong. It can adversely affect your performance and get the rankings down. The highest density for every page has to be not more than 3 percent.
There is no rule that remains constant in SEO, as they keep changing all the time. Google keeps on changing its algorithms so constantly reviewing of website is mandatory. All the updates are important, and you cannot afford to miss on anything.


On Saturday, state Education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist jumped out of a plane in a sky-diving-based attempt to get students to do their summer reading. Two days earlier, Governor Chafee put on a hardhat to tour the old East Side train tunnel in a spelunking-like quest to solve downtown bus and parking problems.
So once again, Rhode Island leaders are providing a model for how D.C. can handle its intractable issues. For instance, with the federal government facing the potential of a partial shutdown, no one is talking about the possibility of a bungee-jumping session by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and no one has proposed shooting Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, out of a circus cannon. But perhaps it�s time.
Then again, maybe it�s time for national leaders to stop taking to the airwaves with high-flying rhetoric � to stop displaying partisan tunnel vision � and to instead provide us with some reasonable, thoughtful leadership.
Now, I know: That�s asking a lot in this era of bitter partisanship, big-money campaign assaults and gerrymandered congressional districts. All I�m saying is that if this keeps up, people might start losing faith in their government.
Of course, there might not be much faith left to lose when pollsters are asking: Which side do you think is acting more like a spoiled child? The answer, according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Monday: 69 percent think Republicans in Congress are acting like spoiled children, while 47 percent think President Obama is acting like a spoiled child.
The D.C. denizens would deny acting like spoiled children (even as they read us �Green Eggs and Ham�). But if they can�t stop playing chicken, the Beltway bunch could at least have the decency to stop fund-raising while they play to their base.
One byproduct is �a corrosive effect on the public view of government, and that makes it harder to solve our problems,� Sasse said. He noted Ronald Reagan and Tip O�Neill worked together despite sharp differences. But a lot has changed since then, including gerrymandered districts that produce wide gaps between �tea-party conservatives and inner-city liberals,� he said.
Another byproduct is the enormous volume of hot air released on 24-hour cable news channels. So perhaps, rather than skydiving or spelunking, the D.C. factions should square off in a hot air balloon race.

Can a PA first assist in surgery?
What can PA's not do?

What is the highest paying PA specialty?
Physician assistants are the first assistants in surgery, even before other surgeons. Surgical PAs usually perform certain surgical procedures on their own, such as putting in chest tubes, cutting and draining abscesses, as well as working as a part of a the surgeon/anesthesiologist/nursing team.
While actually performing surgery does not come under the scope of practice of a PA, recognising when your patient is displaying signs and symptoms of a surgical problem and knowing what investigations to do is crucial.
Regardless of the severity of the condition, physician assistants working in the emergency room will perform physical exams, order diagnostic tests and review laboratory tests and x-rays. They may also perform a wide variety of procedures, such as fracture reductions, stitches, the draining of abscesses and wound care.
PAs can work as surgical first assists in a number of subspecialties, ranging from General Surgery to Gynecological Oncology, Cardiology, Head and Neck Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, and beyond. PAs who seek the thrill of the OR should also consider the uniqueness of each subspecialty.
Some of the differences between PA and MD depend on where you're practicing (state/province/country), but, on the whole, PAs do not perform surgery (they can assist), they do not take on the most complex or acute medical cases, and they may or may not be able to prescribe medications (again, depending on location).
THIS IS INTERESTING: Can I take Tylenol the morning of surgery?
Physician assistants obtain patient histories, perform physical examinations, diagnose illness and develop treatment strategies, order and interpret lab tests, counsel patients on preventative health, perform various medical procedures, assist in surgical operations, and in most states can write prescriptions.
PAs trained in the UK have undertaken postgraduate medical training in PA studies. … > acute and emergency medicine > community medicine > surgery > obstetrics and gynaecology > paediatrics > mental health.
We can perform procedures including injections, fracture reduction, radiologic and cardiac procedures, casting and more. PAs can assess, diagnose and treat, so they must have as robust medical knowledge as a physician. PAs take a recertification exam every 6 years (soon to be every 10 years) called the PANRE.
Although white coats are closely identified with doctors, medical students, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners often wear them, too. There's no rule or regulation restricting them to doctors alone, though some physicians wish there were.
Dermatology is the highest paying PA specialty. On average they earned $126,084 each year. The median (midpoint) salary was $115,000. These professionals evaluate, diagnose and treat skin conditions, medically and surgically.

(Memphis) Latoya Shields says she had to sit down when she heard the news, "During the whole relationship, I only knew of four children."
When a prosecutor told her that the father of her child had 20 other children she said her knees buckled, "At that time, three years ago, my child was the 21st child. Yeah, that would be overwhelming for anybody."
She says after spending almost 8 years with Terry Turnage, she had no idea what he what he had been up to.
WREG tried to find out by going to Shelby County Juvenile Court.
Turnage had filed a petition there to lower his child support payments for 15 different women.
Turnage never showed up to the hearing.
Shields says Turnage hasn't really shown up in his daughter's life, "She calls him and it`s a 'hi' and 'bye', 'see you later' type of situation."
Sheilds says Turnage doesnt typically pay child support either, but when he has, the monthly checks have been $6 to $9.
The money is likely split among all 15 women.
Regardless of all the money owed, Shields says it comes down to a daughter who just wants a relationship with her dad.
Shields says Turnage has been court-ordered to pay her $259 a month in child support, but she has yet to see that kind of money.
WREG tried to track down Turnage with no luck.
One of his family members says he didn't show up to court because he is in the hospital.


Middlesbrough Port can provide layby and berthing facilities for all vessel types including Panamax vessels.
The port provides a safe haven for vessels to berth being 6 nautical miles from the open sea. Security (24 hour) and normal services can be supplied i.e. water and electricity.
Due to the economic downturn and reduction in container vessel traffic there is an increased demand for berthing facilities. ABLE Middlesbrough Port recently had two 36,000T container vessels moored at the facility whilst awaiting re-deployment.
In addition to this, ABLE Middlesbrough Port's quays have been hired for vessel launches and ceremonies.
Global Marine Energy (now Prysmian), the largest independent provider of subsea power cable installation, maintenance and related engineering services worldwide, invested in the refit and development of Cable Enterprise, a barge built specifically for the installation of power cables for offshore wind farms.
Upon completing the refit the vessel was then launched at ABLE Middlesbrough Port signalling the finale of a successful project. The vessel has now completed its first project at the Gwynt-Y-Mor offshore wind farm.

LVUSD Ed Tech: Change That Site to Suit Your Needs!!
In this same vein, I have also recently stumbled across Lingro which is truly "the coolest dictionary know to any hombre". Similar to PrintWhatYouLike, students can type in any websites URL and make that page a click-able dictionary. Which means that students can click on any word to find its meaning or have it pronounced for them. This great way for students to build vocabulary. Have a look!

Joseph Neary Biography
Joe was born in Southwest Philadelphia in 1950 and his family moved to Sharon Hill in 1954 where he and his seven siblings attended Holy Spirit School for their elementary education. Joe attended Saint Joseph's Prep through his junior year of high school and finished his senior year at Monsignor Bonner in 1968. He attended West Chester University from 1968-1974, graduating in 1972 with an undergraduate degree in Secondary Education and in 1974 with a graduate degree in History. In November 1978 Joe and his wife to be Marian purchased a home in Sharon Hill and moved into it on their marriage in April, 1979. Their oldest son Joseph(JP) was born in June, 1980, their second son Kevin was born in September, 1982, and their third son Christopher was born in October, 1984. The family had outgrown the small Cape Cod and in July, 1985, the family moved to the home on Kelly Avenue that remains the family address to this day. In May, 2000 Joe graduated from Neumann University with an undergraduate degree in accounting.
Joe has been active in politics from an early age. One of his most striking memories is standing on Chester Pike in Sharon Hill in 1960 as candidate for President, John F. Kennedy, drove by in a motorcade. It was raining and Senator Kennedy was wearing a hat and rain coat, something he rarely did. Election night in 1960 was a thrilling experience as Senator Kennedy carried Sharon Hill and Joe remembers his house full of happy, tired friends and family. Throughout the 60's and 70's Joe delivered literature and worked with his dad on various campaigns, even running for school board in the early 70's. In the late 70's Joe took up where his dad left off, involving himself in more campaigns at both the local and county level. Moving to Upper Chichester in 1985, Joe immediately started to work in local politics, helping with a candidate for school board's campaign and in 1989 running himself for township commissioner and winning the election, serving for four years from 1990 through 1993 when he was narrowly defeated for reelection. Joe made a comeback in 2009, himself narrowly winning election and was reelected in 2013 by a significant margin.
Joe has been involved in the community ever since he moved here, starting with Chichester Baseball League, Crusaders Basketball, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Middle School Home and School , lunch with Santa (his role must be nameless), and many committees and functions at Saint John Fisher.
As many of you may know Joe lost his wife to lung cancer in 2002. She was a wonderful wife, mother, friend and a consummate professional at her profession of nursing. Marian battled her illness with grace and a smile, rarely giving in to self pity and setting and achieving several goals that many thought she wouldn't be able to accomplish. Her last task, getting her youngest off to college was accomplished in August 2002 and she passed three months later in November, 2002. The boys and I, and many friends, miss her every day.
In November 2011 Joe's son Kevin was assaulted, shot and left for dying in Philadelphia. Kevin made it but the bullet left him a quadriplegic. He lives at home with Joe and his wit, charm, intelligence, and ready smile(inherited from his mother) are a source of inspiration to many who know him or know of him. The Upper Chichester community has supported our family throughout this ordeal, visiting Kevin, supporting fundraisers, sending meals and just being there to help when needed.
I have been blessed with many good friends, an absolutely wonderful supportive family, and for the last ten years by a woman who has stood by even when Kevin's care often took precedence over our relationship. Kathy has been a rock to lean on for all of that time and I thank her for her love and support.
Joe worked at Acme from 1969-1986, and then took a bookkeeping job with a small air compressor company from 1986-1991, leaving that company during an economic downturn to work for a friend's local water ice company from 1991-1996. In 1996 he started work at Johnson Matthey where he worked until Kevin's injury. Joe retired in 2012 to help with Kevin's care and remains at home.

Is widening the front of the magwell a thing?
Post subject: Is widening the front of the magwell a thing?
Post subject: Re: Is widening the front of the magwell a thing?
Someone please correct me if I am wrong here, but it is my understanding that there are actually two different types of 223 mags for the AK platforms.
There are Galil type mags and AK-74 type mags. The galil style being a bit wider and requiring fitting. I believe this is due to galil using modified ak 47 receivers.
Bulgarian 223 mags 'should' fit with no mods. I do own a vepr in 223 but I havent gotten around to messing with it yet, still has firewood tech stock.
As neph said, mod the mags, not the gun. Do your stock 5 and 10 round vepr mags fit well?
Asked Legion if Circle 10 223 mags will work in the 1VE and they said no.
Oh the 1v-e, I saw you wrote that but it didnt register that is the new line of Veprs, they have a different receiver. I am unsure what magazines would work. I am curious to know why bulgarian magazines would not work. It is difficult to believe the only viable option for these is going to be sgm. SGM makes some decent products, but a fan of their magazines I am not.
Yes, I have had one professionally widened at the front on a RA import .223 Vepr and the 2nd one I did myself .The goal at the time was to fit high quality Weiger mags.
It worked out well on both rifles and did not require a lot of material to be removed.
I ended up widening what I think is the front trunnion a little bit as well as messed with the weiger mags a little and that thing is tight but it latches in there. I also bought a circle 10 afterwards and that thing pops in there perfectly it clicks in no side movements I haven't had a chance to test fire it but ill let y'all know how it goes. I feel like if I did a stanag conversion it would kind of mess with the authenticity of the rifle I also just bought a m85np pistol so that takes all the ar mags I already had although I wouldn't mind doing it to my saiga 308 but the definitive arms website is bs are they still in business or what?

Design Underway for New James Monroe Elementary School
LAN is pleased to have been selected out of a highly competitive field of 21 architectural firms, as the architect and engineer for the James Monroe Elementary School in Edison, NJ. One of the reasons LAN was chosen to lead this effort is because of our full-service capabilities. Additionally, we have a staff capable of fast tracking the design process. The new two-story, 67,000 SF school will be constructed on the site of the former school which was destroyed in a fire last March. Since then, students have occupied classrooms at Middlesex County College and now at St. Ceclia's in Iselin. Returning students back to their own school is a top priority for the District and LAN.
The new educational facility is designed to provide modern classrooms filled with daylight and will utilize LED light fixtures with daylight harvesting and motion sensors to provide energy efficiency. This facility will provide specialized instructional spaces that were missing from the original structure. In addition, the school will have a community wing for after-school programs and the surrounding neighborhood.
In terms of site placement, the footprint of the school is similar to that of the former facility, in order to take advantage of existing utility connections, site improvements, and lessen the impact on its neighbors. However, various deficiencies in the overall site layout will be addressed, including lack of parking, emergency access, and deficient drainage.
Our team is completing Construction Documents and expects to have the project out to bid later this year.

FEI World Equestrian Games Tryon 2018: Dressage Grand Prix Special


Posted by James Hammerton @ 5:49 pm on 10 May, 2009.
Most people react to the state's photo database with a shrug: they have my photo? Big deal. And yet many of the same people also feel profoundly threatened by the Government's DNA database, asserting that it really is an assault on privacy, liberty and the presumption of innocence. This is deeply puzzling. A record of your DNA is simply the equivalent of a photo of the inside of one of your cells. Why get worried about that – but not about a picture of your face?
I have yet to come across any reason for thinking that it is more destructive of liberty and privacy for the government to keep a record of the intricate chemical mechanism that reproduces your cells than it is for it to keep your photo. Certainly the European Court did not provide one. The court insisted that the Government violated human rights law when it retained DNA data. But the arguments it gave – that the retaining of DNA was "blanket and indiscriminate" – would equally apply to every state's passport photo archive. And the European Court did not require the British Government to destroy its photo database on the grounds that it was "disproportionate".
DNA contains far more sensitive information about you than the photograph of your face and shoulders stored in the passport database. For example, using DNA samples you can determine the degree to which people are related and how susceptible a person is to a range of diseases. The potential for the abusing a DNA database by selling such information on or providing to those who have no business knowing it will be magnified should such a database be made "universal".
Because we involuntarily leave DNA around in the form of hairs and skin cells as we go about our daily lives, DNA can be used to help determine whether someone has been in a given location, by comparing someone's profile against the samples found at the location. This is the very basis upon which DNA profiling works. Until we have facial recognition systems that work reliably (we currently don't) this simply cannot be done with photographs, and it would also require CCTV cameras to be far more pervasive than they are now.
The storage of a photo in a passport database is done for purposes of verifying that a passport belongs to the person presenting it, rather than for identifying people. The purpose of storing DNA in the National DNA database is to help identify who was at the scene of a crime during investigations.
All three of these differences impact on the level of intrusion into privacy represented by the two cases, and make the storing of DNA a more intrusive proposition than the storing of a photograph for limited purposes.
There is a clear public policy justification for the DNA database, and it is not just that it helps provide evidence to convict the guilty. It is equally important for acquitting the innocent.
Many people have already been ruled out of police inquiries because their DNA does not match that found at the scene of the crime. A few have been released from prison sentences because DNA proved they could not have committed the crimes of which they were convicted.
It requires a strange view of the importance of not convicting the innocent – the "presumption of innocence" central to our criminal law – to decry the retaining of DNA samples. For retaining DNA simply makes it possible for the courts to apply that principle more effectively.
This is a flawed argument. There is NO NEED WHATSOEVER to store innocent people's DNA for the purposes of eliminating them from investigation. Should suspicion fall on someone who is innocent, you can test their DNA against that found at the crime scene, without there being any need for their DNA sample to be stored in the database, simply by taking a sample from them to test at that time.
DNA profiling currently involves a false match rate of 1 in a few million. If you restrict the DNA database to only those who are convicted of crimes and those who are currently under investigation, you reduce the likelihood of accidental matches. A "universal" DNA database for all 60 million inhabitants of the UK will generate false matches on just about every search, thus degrading the value of the DNA database as a crime fighting tool.
One strategy for criminals to try and counter the DNA database is to plant someone else's DNA at a crime scene (and minimise the risk of leaving your own there). Making the DNA database "universal" will make this strategy more likely to work since it is far more likely that the person you choose will have their DNA stored on the database, again degrading the usefulness of DNA.
Those criminals who do not wish their DNA to be stored on the database are unlikely to meekly go along with efforts to make it universal. Strategies they can employ to prevent being caught by the system include registering under someone else's identity; bribing, tricking or intimidating the database maintainers to alter or delete their record or simply evading registration.
It is inevitable that attempts to construct a "universal" DNA database will involve error. No database of the size we're talking about can be constructed error free. Samples will get mislabeled, matched to the wrong records or even lost. This is true even for the current DNA database, but the logistics of trying to create a "universal" database will likely increase the error rate. Also, instead of those affected primarily being those who've been convicted of crime or arrested within the last 12 years, these errors would affect literally anyone.
For all these reasons, my view is that DNA samples should only be kept for those currently under investigation and those convicted of crime. The DNA database will be more effective, the error rates will be lower, the scope for abuse of the system will be lower and the intrusion into privacy will be lower.

Solicitor Manmohan Sandhu was charged at Antrim Magistrates' Court with incitement to murder and intending to pervert the course of justice. The evidence against Sandhu consisted of recordings of conversations he had with clients in a room in Antrim police station.
Lord Carswell said that legal professional privilege cannot be absolute, that it has to have exceptions. "If it were not possible to exercise covert surveillance of legal consultations where it is suspected on sufficiently strong grounds that the privilege was being abused, the law would confer an unjustified immunity on dishonest lawyers," he wrote.

You're living in a unique time in history: the technology is here, but it's not yet seamless. Identification checks are common, but you still have to show your ID. Soon it'll happen automatically, either by remotely querying a chip in your wallets or by recognizing your face on camera.
And all those cameras, now visible, will shrink to the point where you won't even see them. Ephemeral conversation will all but disappear, and you'll think it normal. Already your children live much more of their lives in public than you do. Your future has no privacy, not because of some police-state governmental tendencies or corporate malfeasance, but because computers naturally produce data.
Cardinal Richelieu famously said: "If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged." When all your words and actions can be saved for later examination, different rules have to apply.
Society works precisely because conversation is ephemeral; because people forget, and because people don't have to justify every word they utter.
Conversation is not the same thing as correspondence. Words uttered in haste over morning coffee, whether spoken in a coffee shop or thumbed on a BlackBerry, are not official correspondence. A data pattern indicating "terrorist tendencies" is no substitute for a real investigation. Being constantly scrutinized undermines our social norms; furthermore, it's creepy. Privacy isn't just about having something to hide; it's a basic right that has enormous value to democracy, liberty, and our humanity.
We're not going to stop the march of technology, just as we cannot un-invent the automobile or the coal furnace. We spent the industrial age relying on fossil fuels that polluted our air and transformed our climate. Now we are working to address the consequences. (While still using said fossil fuels, of course.) This time around, maybe we can be a little more proactive.
Just as we look back at the beginning of the previous century and shake our heads at how people could ignore the pollution they caused, future generations will look back at us – living in the early decades of the information age – and judge our solutions to the proliferation of data.

There is no evidence that any of them who have actually had access to any explosives, have ever been caught in the act of "terrorist reconnaissance" of CCTV cameras, neither by members of the public (which is what this poster misleadingly claims), nor by regular Police street patrols, nor even by any covert surveillance of known suspects.

I thought readers would be interested to know that the arrest rate for eBorders, an ostensibly targeted screening program, is many times worse than that for ostensibly random stops and searches under s44 Terrorism Act 2000.
Thanks to James Bridle's FOIA requests for figures for s44, we know that the Met's use of s44 has so far resulted in 2,108 arrests out of 191,478 stops and searches - arrest rate 1.1%.
[update 20 March] Or take David Mery's calculation (see comments below). There were 3,469 arrests out of 275,300 S44(1) and S44(2) stop and searches in England and Wales - arrest rate 1.26%.

Q: Keyboard shortcuts for switching desktops between multiple displays not working I have two monitors plugged into my Mackbook pro. I have the

*

*"Display have separate spaces" setting enabled in Mission Control.

*Keyboard shortcuts "Switch to Desktop1" and "Switch to Desktop2"
setting enabled in Keyboard shortcut settings.

But pressing ^2 does nothing pretty much. I would expect ^2 to focus on my second display windows. Surprisingly, if I add another desktop from Mission Control, that new 'third' desktop becomes Desktop2 and the second display desktop, which was originally Desktop2, becomes Desktop3. After this, ^2 works fine to switch between Desktop1 and Desktop2, both of which are on the same display.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to focus on the active window of second display?
If the above is expected behavior, is there a better way or app of managing multiple displays. Ideally, I would think both displays work as separate desktops, you can focus on a display and then toggle between the windows/apps of that display only.
(I am on macOS Sierra 10.12.4)

A: 'Displays have separate Spaces' would appear to be the method you do require, but in order for it to work, you must have more Spaces than screens.
Then your key commands will switch the screen the cursor is currently in to your requested Space.
Don't rely on the numbers being accurate until you have set up your full set of Spaces & then, in order to then keep the numbering as you intended, make sure 'Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use' is off.
You can drag Spaces into the desired order by invoking Mission Control; take the cursor to the top of a screen & the desktop numbers will expand to show a thumbnail of contents. You can then drag them to your required order & they will re-number automatically.
One more thing, which often catches people out - Spaces only work as intended if any given app only occupies any one Space. If you try to spread an app to 2 or more Spaces simultaneously, it breaks behaviour.
The alternative working method [the one I actually prefer] is to disable 'Displays have separate Spaces', then each 'desktop' becomes a pair of screens, which move together. So you have 2 screens simultaneously showing Desktop 1, then both switch to Desktop 2, etc in tandem - in effect making each Space double-sized. Apps then stay on the screen & the Space they are assigned, so long as you don't disconnect one screen.

Avoid golf injuries and get back into the swing of things
New article looks at common golf injuries and how physicians can effectively diagnose and treat them
ROSEMONT, Ill. (February. 15, 2018)—People of every age and experience level can enjoy the game of golf. Although there are many benefits to playing the sport, the risk of injury is common. According to a review article published in the February 15, 2018, issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, overuse and poor form were the most common causes of golf-related injuries. When left untreated, many of these injuries can result in increased long-term musculoskeletal problems.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more than 122,000 people were treated for golf-related injuries in 2016. These injuries can range from acute to severe and affect various parts of the body, most often, the lower back and upper extremities.
The article highlights a study of 703 golfers, 643 were amateur golfers and 60 professionals. Over the course of two golf seasons, 82.6 percent of the reported injuries sustained were due to overuse, while 17.4 percent were single-trauma events.
According to the review article, it is important for physicians to understand the various stages of the golf swing as well as the movements of the golfer to better diagnose and treat related injuries.
The differences in a golfer's swing could affect their risk of injury.
High-handicap (amateur) golfers generate more power in their swing by using their upper extremity strength. This results in an inconsistent golf swing and makes these golfers more susceptible to back injuries.
Low-handicap (professional) golfers have greater balance and flexibility, which enables them to use their body rotation to generate club speed, thus allowing the upper body to follow through. This reduces their risk of injury.
"Despite the non-contact nature of the sport, golfers are susceptible to a variety of musculoskeletal injuries that can be attributed to both improper mechanics, as well as overuse," says
Ioannis C. Zouzias, MD, lead author of the review article, and an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and shoulder surgery. "Good conditioning and a well-rounded, golf-specific exercise program are paramount to help prevent these injuries."
A golf-specific exercise program can increase strength and stability in the lower back, shoulder muscles, and hips as well as improve flexibility in the hip joints, along with the upper and middle spine. In addition, warming up for at least 10 minutes before a game will reduce the risk of injuries.

Even with the tremendous success of Blooming Art, we learned a few things along the way.
Collaborative fundraising inspires and strengthens a successful coalition.
With multiple stakeholders and many moving parts, it's important to listen to all ideas and solicit and accept feedback. Working together helps staff and board leaders from different organizations increase their capacity as fundraisers.
Engaging coalition members early and often is critical to ensuring that everyone is invested in the outcome for the entire coalition, not just their organization.
The coalition needs to be part of the decision-making every year, particularly as policies and guidelines evolve.
Fundraising doesn't have to be a zero-sum game; helping allies raise funds benefits all.
Nonprofits vary widely in their capacity to raise funds, and smaller groups struggled to reap the benefits of Blooming Art. It's important that leaders of larger organizations provide support and assistance, ensuring everyone is successful.
Don't underestimate the power of social networks. Major donors give to organizations and efforts supported by their friends and colleagues; public events that bring people together further shared interests and commitments. Donors benefit as well. They were introduced to new organizations that were trusted by other major donors and respected organizations.
