Please read the scope of the journal to ensure that your article is aligned with the mission and vision of OpenPhysio and also familiarise yourself with the submission procedure. In order to ensure that manuscripts are dealt with efficiently, please pay attention to the guidelines on this page. If you have any questions about your research and its relevance for OpenPhysio, please contact the Editor.
Before submitting an article you will need to register as a user on the site, so go ahead and do that if you have not already done so. Submitting an article in OpenPhysio means posting it directly onto the website. If you have used a content management system of any kind (e.g. WordPress, Moodle, or Blackboard) then this will be relatively straightforward. However, if this is your first time writing directly to the web, you may want to go through this brief writing tutorial.
In OpenPhysio your articles will be first-class internet citizens, which means that you can include hyperlinks to external sources, embed images, audio, and video, and tag your articles to increase the chance that they are returned in search results. As long as you have permission to use the media, your article can be enhanced to present your ideas most effectively in an online and networked environment.
OpenPhysio will consider all submissions on the condition that they have been created by the stated authors, have not been submitted or published anywhere else, nor that they are under consideration for publication elsewhere. We encourage authors to prepare articles so that they are between 3000-5000 words but this is a flexible guideline.
Articles describing empirical research are the primary presentation mode of communication in OpenPhysio. These articles include studies where authors have gathered data directly and are considered to be primary research.
These are relatively small case studies with limited findings that nonetheless describe interesting innovations in the classroom or clinical context. While this is usually low level research with minimal theory and small samples, these kinds of reports may contain interesting insights to innovations in practice.
Secondary research that includes systematic, scoping and narrative reviews of the literature are not very common in educational research but we think that they may offer useful insight into the breadth and depth of certain topics.
Position papers (or opinions) are submitted by invitation only and will only occur rarely. They are invited when a particular topic may be of interest to the readership and when the Editorial Board considers inviting the opinion of someone with advanced expertise on the topic under consideration.
Study protocols can be registered as long as they provide a detailed account of the hypothesis, rationale and methodology of the study. Protocols can reduce publication bias and improve reproducibility as they lay out in advance the intentions of the author. They are fully citable.
While book reviews are not generally considered for publication, we would be interested in book reviews that adopt a critical and scholarly stance. These reviews should not only summarise the book but also integrate the review with other literature to support the critique.
Research notes are short articles (a maximum of 2000 words) that allow authors the opportunity to publish findings that would not ordinarily be possible to publish as full papers. They include detail that may be useful for the community, such as null results, single observations, updates to previous work, and experiments with small sample sizes. These notes may form the basis for future research. Authors may consider publishing notes as a series, which more closely resembles that way that much research is conducted.
Letters should be a maximum of 400 words in length, including title, text, name and address of author(s), and a maximum of two references. Tables and figures are not permitted.
For all submissions, except literature reviews and position papers, we require the ethics clearance or project registration numbers to be included with the initial submission. While educational research carries with it a low risk of harm for participants, we believe that review boards also provide a level of oversight that ensures the research carried out is legitimate.
OpenPhysio uses APA for the referencing style. Only complete, correctly formatted reference lists in APA style will be accepted. If reference manager software is used, the reference list and in-text citations must be unformatted and converted to plain text before submitting.
All items in the reference list, where possible, should include a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
Background: Explain why the study is being done and how it relates to other published work. Relevant theories and frameworks should be defined in the context of the study.
Aim: Describe what the study intends to find out, and why this matters to the reader.
Methods: Should include the study design, number of participants, description of the research tools/instruments, and the analyses that were done on the data.
Results: Describe the results according to the methods described.
Conclusion: Must be supported by the data, and can include recommendations for further study/actions.
Please ensure that the structured abstract is complete, accurate and clear and has been approved by all authors. It should convey in brief terms what the study is about without needing to refer to the main body of the article.
Do not include any references in the abstract.
Authors should include a maximum of two implications for practice, which will be included in the beginning of the article. These implications should be based on the results of the study and should highlight what the authors consider to be the main outcome of the paper.
Name, address, and email address of the corresponding author.
OpenPhysio uses British English spelling conventions ("s", not "z").
Tables and Figures should be included in the main text of the manuscript (i.e. not as separate pages), and should conform to the following style guides. A good rule of thumb is that you should use as little complex formatting in your document as possible.
Tables should only be used to present information more efficiently than in the running text. Care should be taken to avoid any arrangement that increases the depth of a table, and column heading should be made as brief as possible, using abbreviations liberally. Lines of data should not be numbered unless those numbers are needed for reference in the text. Columns should not contain only one or two entries, nor should the same entry be repeated numerous times consecutively. Units should appear in parentheses in the column heading but not in the body of the table. Tables should be typed using single-spacing. All tables should be captioned with descriptive text, and should be given Arabic numbers (e.g. Table 3). Do not use separate columns for n and %.
Photographs, graphs and diagrams are all referred to as Figures and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals (e.g. Figure 3). All figures must be captioned with descriptive text, making interpretation of the figure possible without reference to the text. Captions should include keys to symbols. It is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible.
Conflicts of interest can derive from any relationship that may influence authors' or reviewers' opinions about a manuscript. The existence of a conflict, whether actual, perceived or potential, does not preclude publication of an article. The aim of disclosure is to ensure that readers are able to effectively evaluate the conclusions reached in a paper. OpenPhysio requires that both authors and reviewers declare all sources of support for their research, any personal or financial relationships (including honoraria, speaking fees, gifts received, etc.) with relevant individuals or organisations connected to the topic of the paper, and any association with a product or subject that may constitute a real, perceived or potential conflict of interest. If you are unsure whether a specific relationship constitutes a conflict, please contact the editorial team for advice. If a conflict remains undisclosed and is later brought to the attention of the editorial team, it will be considered a serious issue prompting an investigation with the possibility of retraction.
If authors have no declarations of interest to report, this must be explicitly stated. The suggested wording in such an instance is: "The authors report no declarations of interest." When submitting a paper to OpenPhysio, the Declaration of interest field is compulsory (authors must either state the disclosures or report that there are none). If this section is left empty authors will not be able to progress with the submission.
It is usual for researchers to acknowledge any funding organisations that contributed to the research, as well as to thank publicly their colleagues for any assistance received, for example, with data gathering or statistical analysis.
Should your submission be accepted for publication, authors will receive a link to the pre-print proof of the document once it has been laid out according to the journal style guide. Authors will be asked to sign off on the manuscript proof and will be able to download the document in a variety of formats.
Should you have any questions about any of the information on this page, please contact the Editor for clarification.

1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Going Up For Auction
Antony Ingram July 6, 2014 Comment Now!
Are you a rock star? Famous actor? An oil baron? Perhaps you're the dictatorial leader of some far-flung country? If you answered "yes" to any of the previous questions then keep your eye on the upcoming Bonhams auction at the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, as an original 1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman limousine is set to cross the block.
MUST SEE: Stolen Tesla Police Chase Ends In Massive, Fiery Wreck, Splits Model S In Half: Video
Unsurprisingly, the Pullman will be part of a single-marque auction at the museum, but in common with many 600s this particular example has quite a story to tell. It was once owned by Chen Yi, a Chinese military leader and close confidante of Mao Zedong. Yi was foreign minister from 1958 until his death in 1972, but from 1965 this particular Pullman was his very own vehicle.
After Yi's death the car was kept in a Shanghai factory garage—apparently used as a prototype for Chinese-built limousines—but was discovered in 1980 by German engineer Hans Luwich. Working for Volkswagen at the time, he brought the car back to Germany in 1993 and titled the car in 1998. The car is unrestored and has done very few miles for its age—official state functions and Luwich's own ownership have added just 21,160 kilometers (13,148 miles) to the odometer. The car features four doors and a middle row of rearward-facing seats, though several different combinations of doors and seats were available to original buyers.
The car is in remarkably good condition, though some deterioration of its interior is expected due to its unsympathetic storage over such a long period of time. The interior, like all Mercedes of the time, is relatively simple—but does feature a classic Becker Grand Prix stereo and tasteful tan-colored trim throughout. Under the hood you'll find another Pullman staple: A 6.3-liter, single overhead camshaft V-8. Air suspension was standard on Pullmans, and virtually every amenity on the car is powered hydraulically for utmost silence, smoothness and for those tasked with repairing cars like the 600, complication.

This particular example is expected to pull in $200,000 to $340,000 at the auction, relatively modest compared to the half-million that some examples have gone for recently, though the car will need sympathetic restoration. Other cars featured in the Bonhams Mercedes sale include a later 1973 Pullman, as well as several beautiful W113 SL roadsters and the obligatory 300SL gullwings'.
Those with a bigger budget to spend might be interested in Lot 16, a 1934 Mercedes-Benz 500K/540K with a guide price of $4.9-7.9 million. Fans of racing will be keeping their eyes on Lot 23—as for $550,000 to $820,000, a bona-fide Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM car driven by Mika Häkkinen goes under the hammer. The Bonhams auction starts on Saturday, July 12 at 2:30 p.m. A total of 47 Mercedes vehicles will cross the block.

Structural changes in the 2012 International Building Code
About 100 successful code changes to the structural provisions of the 2009 International Building Code were subsequently incorporated into the current 2012 edition of the IBC. The 2012 edition of the IBC references several hundred national standards, which are listed alphabetically in Chapter 35. The year or edition of the standard is only shown in Chapter 35, not in the body of the code. For example, Sections 1604.10 and 1613 reference "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7" for determination of wind and seismic load effects, but do not indicate what edition. Chapter 35 shows the edition (year) of the standard being referenced. The main structural standards referenced in the 2012 IBC for loads and materials are shown in the following table.

Key referenced structural standards in the 2012 IBC
1See Chapter 35 for complete list of AISI standards referenced in the IBC.
2Same as 2009 IBC (no change in 2012).
Of the structural standards referenced by the 2012 IBC, perhaps most significant is the 2010 edition of "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7 (ASCE 7-10)." Part I of this two-part article provides a brief overview of the more significant changes to Chapter 16 of the IBC, which covers design loads for structures. For a complete discussion of the significant changes to the 2012 IBC, including both structural and non-structural fire and life safety provisions, refer to Significant Changes to the International Building Code, 2012 Edition, available from the ICC.
Section 1604.5, Risk Category. The term "occupancy category" has been changed to "risk category" to better reflect the intended meaning and to coordinate the terminology with ASCE 7-10.
The term "occupancy category" is somewhat misleading because it implies something about the nature of the building occupants and "occupancy" relates primarily to the non-structural fire and life safety provisions, not the risks associated with structural failure. Some structures regulated by the IBC and IEBC are not even occupied but are assigned an occupancy category because their failure could pose a substantial risk to the public.
Figure 1. Approximate Relationship between Number of Lives Placed at Risk by a Failure and Risk Category (Courtesy of ASCE, ASCE 7-10 Commentary Figure C1-1).
Although the terminology changed, the classifications continue to reflect the progression of the consequences of failure from the lowest (Risk Category I) to the highest (Risk Category IV) (see Figure 1 on page 40). A detailed discussion of the risk categories is contained in Section C1.5 of the ASCE 7-10 commentary.
Section 1605, Load Combinations. The strength design and allowable stress design load combinations in the 2012 IBC have been coordinated with the load combinations in Section 2.3 (SD and LRFD) and Section 2.4 (ASD) of ASCE 7-10, respectively. Loads due to fluids, F, and lateral earth pressures, ground water pressures, or the pressure of bulk materials, H, as well as ice loads have been included. The load combinations for "other loads" for LRFD in Section 1605.2.1 and ASD in Section 1605.3.1.2 were modified to include atmospheric ice loads for ice-sensitive structures. These sections reference ASCE 7 Section 2.3.4 for LRFD and ASCE 7 Section 2.4.3 for ASD, respectively. The term "ice-sensitive structure" has been added to Section 202.
Section 1605.2, Load Combinations Using Strength Design or Load and Resistance Factor Design. The wind design requirements of Section 1609 were extensively revised to update and coordinate them with the latest wind load provisions in ASCE 7-10, which are based on ultimate design wind speeds, Vult. Ultimate design wind speeds produce strength level wind loads similar to seismic load effects. For strength design or LRFD, the load factor on the wind load, W, has been changed to 1.0 to account for the new strength level wind forces in ASCE 7-10.
Section 1605.3, Load Combinations Using Allowable Stress Design. For ASD, the load factor on the wind load, W, has been changed to 0.6 in both the basic and alternative basic ASD load combinations to account for the new ultimate design wind speed in ASCE 7-10 (WASD = 0.6Wult ). The ω factor in the alternative basic ASD load combinations has been modified to be either 1.3 or 1.0. When allowable stresses have been increased or load combinations have been reduced (as permitted by a material chapter in the code or a referenced standard), the coefficient ω is taken as 1.3. Otherwise ω is to be taken as 1.0. To achieve consistency with the strength design load combinations and ASCE 7-10, earthquake load effect, E, was removed from the basic ASD load combination Equation 16-13, and a new load combination Equation 16-14 was added. This has the effect of retaining roof live load, Lr, and rain load, R, in combination with wind load, W (Equation 16-13), but removed these loads in combination with earthquake load, E, in Equation 16-14. This achieves consistency between the ASD load combinations and the strength design or LRFD load combinations in Equations 16-4 and 16-5.
Table 1607.1, Minimum Live Loads. Many live loads in Chapter 4 of ASCE 7 were updated in the 2010 edition of the ASCE 7 standard. To coordinate the changes in ASCE 7-10 with the 2012 IBC, the live loads prescribed in IBC Section 1607 and Table 1607.1 have been updated to coordinate them with the live loads of Chapter 4 and Table 4-1 in ASCE 7-10. In some cases, duplicate provisions in the code were deleted because they were incorporated into ASCE 7-10. For example, the detailed loading requirements for vehicle barriers were deleted from the code and replaced with a reference to similar provisions in ASCE 7.
Section 1607.6, Helipads. The terminology and live load design requirements for helicopter landing areas have been updated and coordinated with ASCE 7-10. The new term "helipad" is now used to describe helicopter landing areas. A helipad is defined as a structural surface used for landing, taking off, taxiing, and parking of helicopters. The previous provisions were unclear as to whether or not helicopter live loads were intended to be separate or in addition to the load combinations required by Section 1605. The helipad loading requirements have been relocated to Section 1607.6 (which prescribes live loads) from Section 1605 (load combinations). The actual loading criteria required to design helipads were updated and coordinated with the helicopter loads specified in ASCE 7-10 and references to dead load, D, and snow load, S, which served no real purpose, were deleted.
Section 1607.7, Heavy Vehicle Loads. Provisions relating to the design of structures supporting heavy vehicle loads in excess of 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight have been updated. Structures intended to support heavy vehicle loads are designed in accordance with the same specifications required by the jurisdiction for the design of roadways and bridges, such as AASHTO. The new requirements apply specifically to fire truck and emergency vehicles, and heavy vehicle parking garages. Changes were also made to loading requirements for forklifts and movable equipment.
Sections 1608.3 and 1611.2, Ponding Instability. A new definition of "susceptible bay" has been added to clarify where ponding must be considered in the design of roof structures to avoid progressive deflection. A susceptible bay is defined as a roof, or portion thereof, with 1) a slope less than 1/4 inch per foot; or 2) on which water is impounded upon and the primary drainage system is blocked. Only those portions of the roof considered susceptible bays must be designed for ponding. Areas of the roof with a slope of 1/4 inch per foot or greater toward points of free drainage are not considered susceptible and need not be designed for ponding.
For a complete discussion of important provisions in the 2012 IBC, including structural and non-structural fire and life safety requirements, refer to the 2012 International Building Code Handbook, available from ICC.

The last day of our trip we found a new bay that looked good. We had about 1/2 hour left of a 5 day trip before we had to get ready to fly out. My fishing partner had a large northern follow on a red/white/gold spoon. So I changed to a red/white/gold #5 Mepps. Soon after I watched the fish hit the lure. After 4 nice runs we had the fish and safely released her. After numerous fishing trips, it is the largest Northern I have ever caught!NOTE: - State listed below should be ONTARIO.


Decreasing the default spacing unit for a vertical gas well from 640 acres to 160 acres and allowing federal minerals to be excluded from a spacing unit if the U.S. Bureau of Land Management fails to auction a lease for such minerals for at least six months.
Increasing the consent threshold for forced pooling (aka integration) of a spacing unit from 55% of its mineral interest acres to 67%, but allowing an applicant to use the 55% threshold if (i) it has "negotiated diligently and in good faith" for at least 120 days prior to its application, and (ii) the outstanding interests will get at least a 12.5% royalty on all oil and gas produced and sold. In addition, within a spacing unit being force pooled, a nonconsenting working interest owner will no longer be entitled to receive a 12.5% royalty during the period in which the consenting owners are recouping the associated nonconsent penalty.
Imposing a $6,000 "surface use bond" requirement for each well site if the surface owner is not a party (or successor of a party) to (i) a lease of the underlying minerals, (ii) a surface use agreement, or (iii) some other agreement addressing use of the surface in connection with oil and gas operations. The bond only protects against "unreasonable" damages to the surface. In this respect House Bill 301a does not depart from the common law, which limits a severed mineral estate owner's use of the surface to that which is "reasonably necessary" for mineral exploration and development.
Requiring that operators submit to the Department of Lands well test reports on completed wells, production test reports every six months on all producing wells, well logs, and monthly production reports, gathering facility reports, processing plant reports, and transportation and storage reports. Subject to certain exceptions (e.g., drilling and testing information for 180 days after completion of a well), all such submitted information will be public and published on the Department of Lands' website beginning no later than December 31, 2017.
Modifying the makeup of the five-member Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to consist of the Director of the Department of Lands, one county commissioner elected by the county commissioners of Idaho's oil and gas producing counties, and three governor-appointed "technical experts" (i.e., individuals having a college degree in geosciences or engineering and at least 10 years of industry experience).
Requiring that metering be installed and operated in accordance with industry standards.
Mandating that detailed, itemized statements accompany royalty checks.

        e1.addTextChangedListener(textWatcher);

    }

A: When you call setText it fires onTextChanged again.
You need to remove textChangeListener, do your work, and set it again:
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
    ee1.removeTextChangedListener(this);
    try {
        Float v1 = Float.parseFloat(t1.getText().toString());
        Float v2 = Float.parseFloat(e1.getText().toString());

        Float calculateValue1 = (v1 * v2);

        ee1.setText(calculateValue1.toString());
    }
    catch(NumberFormatException ex){
        //handle exception
    }
    ee1.addTextChangedListener(this);
}

Debate grows over school reopening plans
The mayor spoke out about individual schools not committing to offering in-person learning.
By: Kala Rama
NEW YORK CITY — Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday he stands by his plan to re-open Pre-K, 3-K and K-5 schools on Monday, and special needs schools Thursday, even with New York's coronavirus cases steadily creeping up.
Mandatory weekly testing will be the new rigorous protocol in place to keep schools open.
But Organizers of the #KeepNYCSchoolsOpen movement are holding a rally on Sunday in City Hall Park to demand the immediate reopening of New York City public middle schools and high schools for 145,000 students.
Parents said the shutdown is taking a toll in the mental health of teens.
Regular testing in New York City public schools has revealed a 0.28% COVID-19 positivity rate. The Mayor has called New York City public schools "incredibly safe."
The mayor is also hoping to offer in person learning five days a week despite principals across the city saying they don't have the staff to accommodate in person learning.
The mayor's message to principals: find a way to get it done. If it means hiring more teachers, they'll hire more teachers.

Legendary Playwright Neil Simon Dead at 91
Deron Generally August 26, 2018
There are few names more synonymous with the words playwright and Broadway then Neil Simon and today the world of entertainment and fans mourn the loss of this prolific writer who was a master at exposing the human condition.
Neil Simon was born in The Bronx, New York in 1927 who started writing for shows like Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows alongside legends like Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. He wrote his first play Come Blow Your Horn in 1961 and it was followed by two more successful plays Barefoot in the Park and The Odd Couple. Simon would receive his first Tony Award for The Odd Couple.
More plays followed including Plaza Suite, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, Broadway Bound, Sweet Charity and Lost in Yonkers.
Simon's impressive career took him from Broadway to Hollywood where he wrote the screenplays to many of his films including The Odd Couple, Biloxi Blues and Lost in Yonkers. His original screenplays include some of the most beloved and lauded comedies in history including The Out-Of-Towners, The Heartbreak Kid, The Goodbye Girl, The Cheap Detective and Seems Like Old Times.
Hollywood is also acknowledging the huge career and talent of Neil Simon.

As Engineers design new products and procedures, Technicians are required to translate those concepts into realistic consumer products. The Applied Integrated Technology program at Monroe Community College prepares students for challenging careers in various phases of the implementation process. The Applied Integrated Technician will learn to integrate the various technologies into a project.
The Applied Integrated Technology degree offers a unique, interdisciplinary program which prepares students for positions in high technology fields applying the principles of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems. The comprehensive curriculum addresses the impact of technology on engineering and manufacturing processes and carefully integrates machining, optics, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing technologies. Students are provided with extensive hands-on laboratory experience and work on team projects which simulate industry scenarios.
The Applied Integrated Technician must have a thorough knowledge of existing technologies. Our integrated courses will provide knowledge in product design using SolidWorks, machining components with Mastercam, and manufacturing products using Lean Manufacturing. The capstone project will require students to work on cross-functional teams, combining the use of mechanical, electrical, machining, and optics, to design and build the solution to an open-ended technical problem. The required internship will provide students with workplace experiences. These experiences will show students how their skills and knowledge are applied in actual situations.
Upon completion of the program students can begin careers as technicians in product design, system troubleshooting, manufacturing process development, evaluation of components and systems, and translating engineering designs into end-products.
Three years of high school mathematics are required through Sequential Math III (Regents level strongly recommended), and one-half year of physics or physical science is recommended. If you are not proficient in algebra or trigonometry, you should take MTH 090 and/or MTH 135 at MCC, or equivalent before starting Applied Integrated Technology.
The Applied Integrated Technology program was designed to prepare students for employment. Transfer into a four year technical program will require additional bridge courses in higher level math and science. Students, who want to enter into management positions, will be able to transfer the credits into a Technology Management program.

Tired of Microsoft and Amazon's Bickering, Pentagon Cancels $13 Billion JEDI Contract

JEDI is officially dead, folks. At least, for now, it's dead.
The contract for the Joint Enterprise Defence Infrastructure project — an expansive, $US10 ($13) billion effort to help overhaul and modernise the Pentagon's IT operations in the U.S. — has been cancelled, officials with the military agency told media outlets on Tuesday.
JEDI, which would've involved the migration of massive amounts of DoD data to a commercial cloud system, had been the subject of intense corporate competition, lawsuits, and delays for years.
"With the shifting technology environment, it has become clear that the JEDI Cloud contract, which has long been delayed, no longer meets the requirements to fill the DoD's capability gaps," said a DOD spokesperson, in a statement shared with the media.
The contract, which would have assured IT work with the Pentagon for over a decade, was first conceptualized back in 2017 and was initially the object of an intense bidding war between some of the world's biggest tech companies — including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, and others. The field of contenders eventually narrowed to just Microsoft and Amazon, with the latter seeming (for a time) to be likely to win the contract.
However, in 2019 the DoD announced it had awarded JEDI to Microsoft — a result that Amazon did not take particularly well. The company published a diatribe against the decision, accusing the award of being politically motivated and unduly influenced by then President Donald Trump (who apparently hates Jeff Bezos). The company subsequently filed a lawsuit on the basis of that argument.
Now, it would appear, all of that drama was for naught.
It seems that all the fighting and lawsuits have led to the JEDI plan becoming outdated, a DOD spokesperson told reporters that "with the shifting technology environment," the contract "no longer meets the requirements to fill the DoD's capability gaps." While JEDI may be dead, the Pentagon simultaneously announced a new cloud initiative on Tuesday — the Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability, or JWCC, described by Defence One as "a multi-cloud, multi-vendor indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract" that is specifically calling for bids from Microsoft and Amazon, as they are apparently the only companies with substantial enough resources to meet the Pentagon's needs.

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock before the Premier League match at Cardiff City Stadium.
The Cardiff boss says he has been watching fellow manager Redknapp on the hit ITV reality show.
But Warnock feels he would have to be paid "10 times more" than other contestants because his unpopularity with football fans means he would end up doing all the trials.
"I would imagine I'll be in there next year," said Warnock, who turned 70 last week and is almost two years younger than Redknapp.
"The lads have put my face on Harry's body on the dressing room window!
"I don't think I'd be scared. But the problem is I'd be doing every horrible thing there could be because I'd get the votes.
Redknapp's down-to-earth personality and cheeky humour has made him a hit in the Australian jungle.
The former Tottenham and West Ham boss is odds-on to be crowned as the programme's 'King of the Jungle' in its final show of the current series on Sunday night.
"That's Harry – that's how we are," Warnock said.
"Football humour in the jungle is a blessing – it's something that lifts everybody.
"We've all got stories, haven't we? I rabble on here every week at a press conference.

Manufacturing activity in the country does not augur well for the economic growth in March and bank credit to domestic export sector has suffered due to fall in external demand, says a report.
The yearly SBI Composite Index for March has declined below 50 and is at 49.5, compared with last month index of 51.3. However, the monthly Index jumped to 54.5 in March 2016, from 49.1 in February 2016.
Though the index "portends" low growth, the good news is that credit off-take has increased to 11.5 per cent as on March 4 compared with last year's growth of 9.8 per cent on March 6, 2015. "However, refinancing constitutes much of the credit growth, hence it may be difficult to say whether credit growth has picked up materially or in a sustained manner," Soumya Kanti Ghosh Chief Economic Adviser & GM Economic Research Department SBI said.
According to SBI Research, bank credit to domestic export sector has suffered due to fall in external demand as is visible in major export sectors like textile, gems and jewellery and this in turn has led to contraction in demand of credit.
Furthermore, instances of dumping have made revival of certain sectors difficult, depressing the demand of credit. An index value of less than 42 is large decline, 42 to 46 means (moderate decline), 46 to 50 (low decline), 50 to 52 (low growth), 52 to 55 (moderate growth) and above 55 (high growth), it added.

ACC Basketball Power Rankings: Here come the Noles!
Neil Blackmon | 1 year ago
College Hoops Presented by
What a wild January we've had in the ACC.
Duke lost prohibitive favorite status — and a game at Cameron Indoor — to upstart Miami. The Hurricanes, who have the league's best guards, lost 2 games to rival FSU, but have otherwise rolled through league play. Notre Dame, left for dead in late December, has lost only once in January. Wake Forest, the darling of the nonconference slate, has fallen back to earth a bit this month but is still poised to push for the program's first NCAA Tournament bid since 2017.
And then there's FSU. The Seminoles didn't even have a Quad 2 win — let alone a Quad 1 win — until they nipped NC State in Raleigh on January 1. That win started a 7-1 January for FSU, who now share first place in the ACC with Miami. If you counted Leonard Hamilton's team out — and we were close in our last batch of Power Rankings — you should have known better. There's a reason the Seminoles have been the conference's most consistent program over the past half decade. They tend to figure it out.
Here's a fresh set of Power Rankings as the league enters the final week of January.
15. Georgia Tech (8-10, 1-6)
One conference win is all Josh Pastner's team has to show for January, mostly thanks to an offense that has fallen from 22nd in KenPom Adjusted Offensive Efficiency a year ago, when the Yellow Jackets won the ACC Tournament, to 208th in 2021-22. Georgia Tech hasn't defended much lately either, surrendering 80+ points in their last two conference games.
14. Pitt (7-12, 2-6)
The Panthers fight. We at least can say that. No team in the country has lost more games (6) by five points or less. Of course, Jeff Capel III's team too often loses those games anyway. They also just had their worst week in ACC play yet, with a home loss to an average Virginia and a blowout defeat at Clemson over the weekend.
13. NC State (10-10, 3-6)
The hits just keep on coming for Kevin Keatts' squad. After losing Manny Bates less than 2 minutes into the season, the Wolfpack lost forward Ernest Ross for the season last week with a broken ankle. Ross, a freshman, had given the Wolfpack's frontcourt a lift and will be missed down the stretch. Dereon Seabron, who averages 19 points a game and is shooting a terrific 34% from the field despite being a poor perimeter shooter, is having an All-ACC caliber season. But there is nothing in this frontcourt to keep teams from imposing their will in games and as a result, NC State appears doomed to miss the postseason.
12. Virginia Tech (10-8, 2-5)
Is there a more disappointing team in college basketball this year than the Hokies? Mike Young's team was a trendy preseason Top 25 pick and profiled like a Sweet 16 unit, led by senior Keve Aluma and guards Storm Murphy and Naheim Alleyne. Aluma, who averages 15 points, 7 rebounds and a block, has lived up to his end of the bargain. The rest of the team hasn't, at least defensively. The Hokies rank 184th in college basketball in 2 point FG percentage against, a huge reason they have had so much trouble in tight games. They've dropped 5 games by 5 points or less — uncharacteristic for a veteran club that went to the NCAA Tournament the year prior — and are well off the bubble now despite being beloved (still!) by computers (37th in Adjusted KenPom Efficiency).
11. Syracuse (9-10, 3-5)
The Orange did beat Clemson, which Saturday Road ranks ahead of them, last week. But the Orange were obliterated at Duke over the weekend and still aren't showing any signs of learning to play the 2-3 zone effectively. That's a problem because if you go to Syracuse, you play 2-3 zone. The Orange, who can score on most anyone, boast the Power 6's largest "offense/defense" disparity. They rank 18th in Adjusted KenPom Offensive Efficiency but a woeful 224th in KenPom Adjusted Defensive Efficiency.
10. Clemson (11-8, 3-5)
The Tigers snapped a 3-game losing streak by routing Pitt over the weekend. Sophomore PJ Hall is putting up All-ACC type performances in league play: he's been in double figures in every conference game and poured in a double-double in this week's loss at Syracuse. The issue, of late, is that he's had little help. The Tigers also commit more fouls defensively than anyone in the Power 6 — as a result — they need more stops than most teams because other teams get to shoot free throws at too high a clip. This team should be better than it is, which has been a common refrain in the Brad Brownell era.
9. Boston College (8-9, 3-4)
I'm not saying Earl Grant should be ACC Coach of the Year, but I'm not going to argue with it at this point, either. Boston College has surpassed its conference win total (2) from a season ago before the calendar turns to February. They have quality wins too, having defeated Notre Dame and Virginia Tech, both considered NCAA Tournament bound in the preseason. The computers aren't fond of Boston College, and they still give up way too many easy looks beyond the arc (309th nationally in 3 point FG percentage against). But they claw and scratch and rebound, and the Langfords give them just enough offensively to stay in most games. A tremendous coaching job by Grant, who is getting every drop out of a limited roster.
8. Virginia (11-8, 5-4)
Tony Bennett's team is just too challenged offensively to do much better than what they've done all month: finish most every week 1-1. But we've grown to expect heavy lifting from the Cavs on offense. It's the games where they give up 60% from the field, like last week's loss at NC State, that will cost this team a trip to March Madness.
7. Louisville (11-8, 5-4)
Chris Mack's team has lost 4 of 5, with the lone victory coming over preseason cellar selection Boston College. For a while, Louisville looked like the kind of team that could defend just well enough to offset their obvious limitations offensively. That is no longer the case. The Cardinals have dropped out of the top 50 in KenPom Adjusted Defensive Efficiency and they continue to rank near the bottom (12th) of the ACC offensively. Florida transfer Noah Locke is the only Cardinals player averaging in double figures, and no one but Locke and Mason Faulkner are making higher than 31% a clip from deep. Mack's hold on the job is now as leaky as the KFC Yum Center Roof.

— Ed Peak (@ed_peak) January 19, 2022
6. North Carolina (12-6, 4-3)
For a moment, it looked like the Tar Heels would defend this season. North Carolina posted 5 consecutive wins in December where they held opponents to 63 points or less and under 1 point per possession. Those days seem light years away now. The Tar Heels have struggled mightily to get stops in all 3 of their ACC losses, and surrendered an average of 92.5 points in their 2 defeats last week. The Tar Heels have zero Quad 1 wins this season and their best win, over Michigan, hasn't aged well. Last week was supposed to be about turning the corner. Instead, Hubert Davis' team lost 2 games by 20 points, the first time they've done that in the same week as a program since 2001-02. It's a mess in Chapel Hill, and there aren't a ton of chances left for the Tar Heels to make it better.
5. Wake Forest (16-4, 6-3)
A great bounce back week for Wake Forest, which dismantled both Georgia Tech and North Carolina to get to 6-3 in the league overall. A top-5 league finish should put them in a decent spot on Selection Sunday, and the Demon Deacons' only conference losses to date are to Louisville and Miami on the road and an angry Duke team. Alondes Williams and Jake LaRavia continue to be one of the best transfer duos in the country, and Williams, who leads the Demon Deacons in scoring, seems to have an uncanny connection with the big forward:
I'm obsessed with this pass from Alondes Williams last night. He does this shit multiple times a game, but I'm still obsessed. pic.twitter.com/fU3vTZyjE4
— Cooper Watson (@coopertwatson) January 20, 2022
This is a fun team that can score on most everyone. Would a quality win or two more help? Yes. But they are beating who they should beat, which may be enough.
4. Notre Dame (12-6, 5-2)
Mike Brey's team is back from the dead, having gone 8-1 after a 4-5 start. The biggest difference between now and December? Balance. Paul Atkinson, the former Ivy League Player of the Year at Yale, has come on strong, scoring in double figures in all but 2 of Notre Dame's conference tilts after a sluggish start to his senior campaign. His ability to give Notre Dame frontcourt production has opened up the floor for the guard trio of Dane Goodwin, Blake Wesley and Prentiss Hubb. As a result, the Fighting Irish are up to 33rd in KenPom Adjusted Offensive Efficiency — and they are that high despite the fact Hubb is having a down year from the field (34.5% FG, 30% 3).
3. Miami (14-5, 6-2)
Is it fair to put the Canes No. 3 despite the fact their only losses are by a point each to their bitter rival? It might not be. Then again, FSU has reminded us why Miami suffered some nonconference losses as well. There's not a rim protector on the roster and the Hurricanes rank 276th in the country (last in the ACC) in 2-point field goal defense. If they can't get pressure on the perimeter and turn you over with their guards, you can score on them.
It helps, of course, that Miami can fight back, thanks to a deep and talented backcourt. Head coach Jim Larrañaga's squad also never quits: they looked dead at home, trailing by 24 at halftime, before rallying against the Seminoles and nearly winning on a last-second shot.
That fight is why they'll play in the Big Dance this year — but FSU may have exposed why they won't win the ACC championship.
2. Florida State (13-5, 6-2)
What a week. First, the Seminoles outlasted Duke at home in The Tuck, winning in overtime after this sensational layup by RayQuan Evans over Paolo Banchero forced overtime.

Then, they built a massive lead at a sold-out Watsco Arena in Coral Gables, only to almost lose the whole thing and then send the Canes home unhappy anyway.
Caleb Mills had the dagger against Duke:
The confidence in this shot. Man, Caleb Mills is a hooper pic.twitter.com/hGQq7r8vek
— Austin Veazey (@NolesVikesVeaz) January 19, 2022
He's averaged 17 points a game, while shooting 52% from the field, during FSU's winning streak. He also provided the defense on Isaiah Wong on the final possession in Coral Gables.
This is the Mills we saw dominate at Houston — and he's the biggest reason Leonard Hamilton has it rolling again in Tallahassee.
1. Duke (15-3, 5-2)
I won't get as excited about a blowout of a mediocre Syracuse team — even without Trevor Keels — as many in the media have. But I rank Duke first, despite an 0-2 record against the teams ranked No. 2 and No. 3, based purely on talent. Paolo Banchero should be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, and he's just now starting to figure out how to influence games on both ends even when he doesn't score:
Paolo Banchero's last 5 games: 24 assists
Paolo Banchero's first 11 games: 23 assists.
He's started to see the floor much better and use the gravity he draws to make easy reads, a great sign for his creation upside. Looking more like the player we saw in high school. pic.twitter.com/Zoi205Pmke
— Brandon Simberg (@BrandonSimberg) January 21, 2022
He's also dropped 20 points in 5 of Duke's past 6 games. That Wendell Moore Jr. continues play well above his career averages only helps matters — it gives Duke a veteran leader to balance all the high lottery ceiling young talent.
With the top 3 as close as they are, I'll take Duke's body of work, including the win over Gonzaga, and their talent, and put them just ahead of Miami and FSU at the top.

Kooth arrived on the Zarantulus to propose the Contest of Devourment in which Varg and Lexi would be forced to compete in capturing Tom Clarke once and for all, the loser being devoured by the Nekross King. This was soon revealed to be a distraction to let Jathro steel the Catromeister Quatrozeen which gave Kooth control of an armada of spaceships with which she could overthrow the royals and destroy Earth. After revealing Jathro to be her son, Kooth launched an attack on the Zarantulus.
Kooth was defeated when her forces were sent back to Nekron by Tom. Kooth was transported to the Zarantulus and eaten alive by the Nekross King. All Out War!
Kooth has light blue skin and like all Nekross has two antenna but like Jathro she does not have an second eye and mouth on them. Her spikes are a bit flared and she has tendril-like things on her chin. Her attire consists of a blue and orange robe, symbolising her status.
