PHYSIENTS WILL ALWAYS OFFERS BEST STORIES AND LIVE STREAMING ALL TIME
THE DEVIL IN HER DREAM
"Being there isn't the same as belonging there." -Rigel J. Dawson.
Heaven waited for her father, who insisted he would go in her place, ignoring her wishes completely. She found out that her grandmother had already offered herself in exchange, but her grandfather only wanted her. So Heaven hoped he wouldn't accept her father's offer.
Her grandmother started to pack her clothes. "What are you doing?" Heaven asked.
"If you are going, then I am coming with you. Your grandfather doesn't want Lucian."
"No! You need to stay. Father and mother will be sad once I leave so you need to stay with them."
"They have each other. I am not letting you go alone." She said with finality.
"I don't think Lothaire will allow you to come with me."
She stopped packing and turned to her. "Lothaire didn't accept an exchange, but he told me I could come to him if I wanted too."
"That is why you shouldn't. He will be happy to have more of us joining him."
"Heaven. We will go there but we will never belong there. We have to make him realize that." She said.
It wasn't a bad strategy. Following her grandfather to his kingdoms but not following his footsteps. Wouldn't he tire eventually and let her go if she didn't become the person he wanted her to be? She would have to keep her mind strong.
Just like her grandmother suspected, Lothaire didn't accept her father's offer. Now it was time for her and her grandmother to leave. Her mother was still not convinced, but Heaven used the mate excuse.
"Would you not do the same for father?" She asked. "I don't want to lose Zamiel or any of you."
Her mother understood her reasons, but she just had a hard time accepting them.
While her mother struggled to accept her decision, Heaven was still confused by how easily Zamiel let her go. She shouldn't be. All of them should have realized sooner that there was no way out. The devil could and would do whatever he wanted.
Zamiel watched her in silence while she packed. She tried to focus on the task and not think of anything else, otherwise, she would end up crying.
No! She wouldn't think of how the separation would feel for all of them. She would just go and leave her emotions behind.
Once she was done packing, she turned to Zamiel. She dreaded this moment, but she would have to say goodbye. She couldn't avoid him. Besides, he had been supportive, so she owed to thank him as well.
Don't cry Heaven!
She smiled at him. "I guess it is time to leave." She said, trying to sound as optimistic as possible.
Zamiel walked up to her and grabbed her face between his hands. "You don't have to pretend with me." He told her. "Just tell me what you truly want to say before you leave."
She placed her hands on top of his and looked into his silver eyes. "I will miss you." She said.
A selfish thing to say when she was leaving.
He smiled. "I will miss you too." He said, and then he leaned down and kissed her.
One kiss. Just one kiss made her feel at peace at that moment. It chased away all the fear and exhaustion and oddly; it made her feel strong instead of weak. The way his kisses usually made her feel.
He kissed her as if he wanted her to remember what kissing him felt like and hold on to that memory. When their lips parted, all the emotions she had been pushing away started to come swim to the surface.
She wouldn't be able to kiss him or hold him once she left. She wouldn't be able to hear his voice or smell his scent. She wouldn't…
Stop Heaven! She had to stop because her eyes teared up and she didn't want to cry while saying goodbye.
"Heaven. I will be happy as long as you are happy. So I don't want you to be sad."
Zamiel knew her so well. He knew why she was leaving, even though she lied to him, and he must have had his reasons for letting her go so easily. Maybe he had a plan and he couldn't tell her. Whatever his plan was, she didn't want him to be in danger.
"I won't be sad as long as you don't get yourself hurt." She told him.
"I won't get myself hurt. Lets both take care of ourselves." He said.
She nodded.
It wasn't easy to say goodbye to everyone, especially her mother, but Heaven promised to see her again. She didn't know how that would happen, but she knew it would.
Her grandmother had already made up her mind to follow her. "We will be back." She said determined. She didn't know what her grandmother had in mind, but she made her parents calm down a bit.
If there was anyone who could have a plan without Lothaire knowing, then it was Zamiel and her grandmother. She made sure that Zamiel wouldn't get himself hurt, but her grandmother worried her.
Lothaire didn't come to escort them. He had told her that once she was ready, a portal would open in her garden, and she just had to walk through it.
Heaven and her grandmother walked outside to her garden, and soon after, a portal opened. This proved that her grandfather knew their every step. Her grandmother took her hand and they slowly but steadily walked inside.
It went by fast. It was almost as if someone pushed them from behind, causing them to stumble forward, and suddenly they were somewhere else.
Heaven looked around. It felt like she was inside a castle, but with the strangest interior. Everything was dark. Mostly black, red or grey. The lights were dim, casting shadows everywhere and giving a mysterious feeling.
It was quiet until the clicking sound of footsteps echoed in silence. Heaven and Irene turned to where the sound came from.
It was her grandfather. Lucifer. The devil. He appeared from the shadows with an amused smile on his face.
"Welcome." He said.
"The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem." - Captain Jack Sparrow.
Lucian gave Zamiel a confused look when his daughter left. Zamiel detected a hint of doubt in the demon's eyes. He was questioning how he was doing things, but he didn't say anything because he knew he didn't do anything better himself. He had also let his daughter go, so he couldn't blame anyone else.
Hazel was very sad, but she didn't look at him with doubt or resentment. To his surprise, she crossed the distance between them and took his hand in hers. "You are not upset with her, are you? She suffered with you while you were suffering. She died on the inside. I saw her empty eyes. She was even willing to give you up, just to end your suffering. Are you giving up on her?"
Zamiel had no doubt that Heaven suffered as much as him, if not even more. No one knew the feeling of seeing your loved one hurt more than him and not be able to do anything. It was something he never wanted Heaven to go through, and that was the reason he let her go. He couldn't be selfish and force her to stay, just because he was willing to go through the same pain again.
If he got hurt, he could always assure her that it wasn't her fault, but if anything happened to anyone in her family, then there would be nothing he could do to assure her. She would blame herself forever.
Besides, letting her stay and assuring her all the time wasn't working. It wasn't effective. Letting her go, on the other hand, would confuse the devil. Zamiel knew that Heaven had a plan. She was going to get closer to her grandfather to know his ways. She couldn't do it from where she was. She had to go to him. He was surprised by her way of thinking, but it wasn't a bad idea.
"I am not giving up on her. I am only trusting and respecting her decision." He said.
She shook her head. "It is a bad decision."
"It is a logical one." He replied. He couldn't believe he was agreeing with Heaven. He should have been panicking and going crazy. Lock her in somewhere, if he had to. But he let her go.
He either did the right thing or the near death experience messed with his mind.
Once he got back home, he smelled Heaven's scent. A smile curved his lips, and he shook his head. She failed at pretending to not care. He looked around to find what she took from him. He knew she took something with her that belonged to him before she left. He owned so many things, so he couldn't tell what she took away, except for herself.
He didn't own her, but she belonged with him. His other half was missing now.
Zamiel looked outside the window and up into the sky. It was clear blue, but not as blue as the one he saw in heaven. He remembered his daughter. Micah. She was a grown woman now. He was still in awe of her. Of her beauty, her kindness, and even her wisdom. The words she said to him before he left had stuck with him. She told him to not give up on life easily and to live as long as he could. Heaven could wait, but life only came once. Some people never got the chance to live, like herself, so he shouldn't choose to die when he still could live.
It pained him to hear those words, but it also opened his eyes. Some people didn't want to live and others never got the chance to live. Some only existed and others lived their lives to the fullest. People couldn't control what happened in their lives, but they could control how they react to the things that happened to them. Maybe that is why he felt so calm now.
He was also calm, because he knew Gamila and Micah were somewhere safe and they were happy. She had told him that sadness didn't last more than a brief moment in heaven.
"We are happy and we have everything we need." She assured him.
Once, they had been his responsibility. It had been his duty and his pleasure to protect and provide for them. But God decided to take back what he had given him. Now, they were under God's protection. They were in heaven.
But Heaven was on earth and just like his family had been given to him by God, so was Heaven. Now, as long as he or she lived, she was his responsibility. It was his duty to protect her. He couldn't choose to die now, when he had chosen to live once. He chose to live the day he disappeared before Heaven could stab him.
Because of his daughter, never again would he wish to die. Death would come one day without wishing for it, so he would live. He would live for himself, for his daughter who never got to live long, and for Heaven.
To die for someone, you only needed to find courage once. But to live for someone, you needed to have courage every day.
Zamiel watched the sky change color. He had been standing and watching for too long, deeply lost in thoughts. The sun was setting, painting the sky with warm shades of orange and pink.
When the sun rises again, it would be a new day. A new day to behave differently and cause confusion. He would put his theories to test to see the devil's reaction. Lucifer liked to know everything, to feel like he was in control. It was time to take the control away from him and make him feel like he knew nothing.
The next day Zamiel went to the castle to meet Lucian. He wasn't surprised to find him with Roshan, but there was another demon present. An ancient demon. Darius Golchin. He was well known in the trading world, but most ancient demons knew of each other.
Zamiel knew they were discussing Heaven and her grandfather and they included him in the discussion. Roshan agreed with Zamiel to let Heaven go until they found a solution, but Lucian wasn't hopeful.
"What can we possibly do?" He asked.
"The devil took without giving. Heaven always says it's give and take."
"The more I stay at home, the more homeless I look."- Unknown.
Lothaire was surprised when he saw Heaven and Irene standing in the garden with their clothes packed. He expected more resistance and didn't think that Heaven would come to him yet. Or to be more correct, he knew she would come, but he didn't expect her family or Zamiel to let her go so easily.
As expected, Lucian came to him to take his daughter's place, but Lothaire insisted to have Heaven. It was great to be immortal. None of them could do anything.
And could it get better? It certainly could, even if Irene already came with her granddaughter. He had waited for this moment. Maybe he should have done things this way long before instead of trying to be careful. He couldn't die. So what could consequences do to him? Nothing much that he couldn't recover from or fix.
No one and nothing could do him anything.
Once they arrived at his kingdom, to his very own castle, he went to see them. Heaven looked like she came back from the death, and she probably did. She had lost color and weight and as soon as she saw him her eyes gaze darkened and he could see the hostility in them. Not that he expected any less.
Then he looked at Irene. She was as beautiful as ever, but she looked exhausted. Unlike Heaven, she didn't look at him. It was like she couldn't bear to look at him. As if the sight of him alone repulsed her.
None of them replied. "You both look tired, let me show you to your rooms." He continued.
Both of them were extremely angry right now, so he didn't bother to converse. He led them to Heaven's room first. They followed him in silence while looking around. He knew his castle had a unique interior. It was dark, mysterious, and sinister. Once they arrived in Heaven's room, he motioned for her to go inside. Irene followed her in.
"I have a different room for you." He told her.
"I would like to stay here." She said.
He nodded. "Alright then. If you need anything…"
"We don't." She cut him off.
He nodded again. "I'll leave you alone then." He said, and closed the door behind him.
Lothaire knew that Irene wouldn't forgive him easily after what he did. That was the only reason he had been avoiding to go about it this way in the beginning. But he got impatient.
Did he regret it? No.
Unlike Lucian, Irene was easy to manipulate. His son had somehow always managed to see through him, but not Irene. He only needed to play the victim to make her feel guilty, like the last time they met. He only needed to put her in a vulnerable situation where she felt alone, and then he would make her feel cared for. That is all she needed, and that is how he got her first.
She had been young when she was sent as a bride to the king's castle. She had been at the age where the heart and the self-esteem were vulnerable. Her husband hadn't given her love and attention, and that is when he struck. He gave her all that and more, and she easily fell into his trap. But he couldn't deny that he also fell into his own trap as well. He didn't know when it happened, but he became sure when she died and he grieved for the first time. When had he ever cared if someone died?
That day he knew she was special to him and he was glad when he discovered that she was alive. It was true that he left his mission at that time, but it was never for her. It was for himself. He was curious and wanted to try to live a normal life.
Irene had wanted to leave him several times, thinking that her son was separated from her because she was being punished for her wrong deeds, and didn't want to keep going on the same path. And staying with the devil was certainly not the right path to redemption.
The struggles she went through somehow opened her eyes to what she was doing wrong. It made her mature and learn. Sad thing for him, but he convinced her to stay, saying he left his mission. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth, either.
He had finally found his mate. He had no intention of letting her go.
He went to his throne and sat down. The first few weeks or even months wouldn't be easy, but his daughters were good at doing their jobs. He would even include his sons and grandchildren.
It was all about changing Heaven's perception of him, his people, and his kingdoms. His children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were good at deceiving just like him. He would make them get closer to her and eventually she would get attached and enjoy being with them. They were good at making themselves relatable. He wouldn't have to do much.
Once Heaven got along with everyone else, Irene would feel left out. She would join them slowly. She loved to have a family, and one way he had convinced her before was to introduce her to Roshan and Enoch. It made her feel like she was part of a family.
Meanwhile, Hazel wouldn't be able to live without her daughter. She would come to him, and Lucian would follow his mate. They would all join him.
But Zamiel was a concern. It looked like the demon had a plan, or he wouldn't let his mate leave so easily. Lothaire wondered what he was planning. He would have to keep an eye on him.
"Did they arrive?" Hezz came into the throne hall, with Tezz trailing behind.
"Yes. You can start from tomorrow. Did you inform the others?" He asked.
"I did. They will be here when needed." Hezz said.
Tezz smirked, excited. She enjoyed seeing people change for the worse.
"It won't be easy to change Heaven." He warned them.
"Of course." Hezz agreed. "She has a mate she needs to go back to."
"That will make it more fun." Tezz spoke.
Hezz looked at her sister with a serious expression. "As long as the mark is there, it won't be fun. She will be very protective."
"Maybe not, but it will fade one day." Tezz said, then turned to her father. "Father, can mates betray their mate?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Well then, we need to find an irresistible demon for Heaven. Someone with exceptional skills at seducing. Someone to make her feel less lonely." Tezz suggested.
Hezz chuckled. "I don't think that will work."
"Not now, but eventually. Don't underestimate lust, my sister. That is the sin all of them fall into at least once."

The Freeman Project
Promoting Art and Community in Downtown Orlando
New Work by Herbert Freeman
Sooner of later we will get back to examining the work of other outsider artists. However, Mr. Freeman is the reason for this blog so let's show the pieces he had on offer this past Friday.
Blue Magic (Oct. 2015)
Love (Oct. 2015)
Lady in Red (Oct. 2015)
Hands Off (Oct. 2015)
King Solomon (Oct. 2015)
Queen of Hearts (Oct. 2015)
King David (Oct. 2015)
The All Seeing Eye (Oct. 2015)
Neomi (Oct. 2015)
Sylvia (Oct. 2015)
Jewel (Oct. 2015)
Teacher (Oct. 2015)
Hi, this is James. Sorry to be gone so long. I had to move away from Downtown Orlando to care for my aging parents. My father died this March and my mother passed away a week ago today. I have moved back Downtown and I reconnected with Mr. Freeman. Here is a photo I took of him last night.
I found some pictures of his work that customers of his have posted to Instagram under the hashtag #herbertfreeman. Here are four of them.
Takashi Shuji
Timing by Herbert Freeman
Takashi Shugi
Takashi Shuji (b.1974) lives with his family and supports himself working as a sewing machine operator. He also creates art which is featured in museum and private collections around the world. Shuji, who has Down's Syndrome draws still lives of ordinary objects and also animals from illustration books.
He uses an additive/subtractive technique in which he studies his subject intently and lays down large areas of pastel on cardboard or paper and then erases and adds to the drawing until he is satisfied with the results.
Max Fleshman
The Teacher by Herbert Freeman
Ten days ago I received an email from Jonathan C. Wright describing an encounter with Herbert Freeman. The picture above was attached to the email.
I wrote back and asked for permission to quote from his missive. Mr. Wright gave that permission and now I present it to you:
While his 9am breath smelled of intoxication, poverty, and a sense of despondency, his work showed otherwise. Heading to Starbucks this morning/afternoon, Diana and I were, therefore, inclined to buy a piece of his art that the artist called both his favorite and most treasured piece on hand – "the Teacher."
The piece, Freeman said, signifies how children are "the teacher," as darkly silhouetted images of children surrounded the Christ-like head image. I was struck by the sincerity of the gentleman, Herbert Freeman. To have met him seemed an honor-albeit at the time, a guarded honor, I sadly admit.
Indeed, there is no greater honor than to see a man in his glory and to recognize that we are all the same. And that in each and every one of us, there is that something, that some stint of brilliance, by which one should admire. And by which, one may be taught.
Thank you Jonathan, and I hope you enjoy your new purchase. It is gorgeous!
For the second part of our presentation we again feature work from an artist in the Slotin Folk Art Auction November 2010 catalog (PDF link in the post below). That artist is Max Fleshman and even less information is available about him than Troy Gaylon Phillips. His art will have to speak for itself. With an eye for perspective, Mr. Fleshman has decoupaged girly magazine photos onto large prints of forested landscape paintings and sometimes actual paintings. The results are quite engaging and humorous.
Autumn In The Tetons
Rainbow Trout Fishing
Moonshine Madness
Farmer's Daughters
Miss Interpretation
Good Old Summertime
Fishing In Mountain Lake
Heels & Eels
Horse and Buggy Days
Troy Gaylon Phillips
Bishop by Herbert Freeman
All I know about Troy Gaylon Phillips is what was printed in two lines in the November 2010 Slotin Folk Art Auction Catalog (pdf document).
"Troy Gaylon Phillips 1943-1995, Memphis, TN. All of these works were discovered after Phillips' death, discarded on the sidewalk outside his home."
I have looked in vain for more information or a photo of Mr. Phillips. I hope there were a lot more of these paintings in that trash pile and they were all saved from the dump. I want to see more of these crazy ass pictures!

Aggie Jones
Woman by Herbert Freeman photo by Brandon Telg
Lindsey Wenzell purchased this piece while visiting downtown a couple of nights ago. Besides buying a great picture she reports that she was stopped and asked by three different people if the piece was by Herbert Freeman.
Today I discovered this article in the Orlando Sentinel from 2003 about Aggie Jones.
Aggie Jones was born a slave in Tatnall County, Ga. and moved with her owners to the Lake City (then known as Alligator) area in Florida. After emancipation she moved to Lake City and worked as a domestic. Eventually she was able to purchase some land on Lake Desoto where she grew flowers and vegetables.
She later created a garden with white sand pathways and fantastic arches, trellises, and border ways created out of bones that were wired together. Her garden became a popular destination for visitors. The Bone Yard flourished as one of Florida's earliest attractions from 1900 to Aggie's death in 1918.

Thai Varick
Maisy's Treasure by Herbert Freeman
Maisy May Marrs is an Orlando artist who recently sold some of her work at the City Arts Factory downtown. She reports that after she left the gallery she ran into Herbert Freeman and admired the piece above. Mr. Freeman had promised it to a woman named Evon, but he said she was very drunk and he did not believe she was coming back to collect it. Maisy offered to buy the piece with proceeds she had just earned from selling her own work. Mr. Freeman agreed and crossed out the dedication to Evon he had written on the back and wrote in her name. He also wrote in the word Project so she could find this blog.
As far as I know Mr. Freeman has only seen this blog once when I showed it to him about a year ago. He was only vaguely aware of it before then. He was very pleased.
Thai Varick - New York City homeless artist
A few months back I discovered Donald Blank's 1994 short documentary of Thai Varick (1941-2001). Varick was a incredibly talented sculptor who used wire as his medium. I have searched the web for months trying to find photographs of his work but these pictures are all that I can find.
Herbert Freeman
Herbert Freeman is a homeless Orlando folk artist who has been selling his art Downtown for the last decade.

Friends of the Poor Walk/Run: A Step Towards Eliminating Poverty
Friends of the Poor Walk/Run: A Step Towards Eliminating Poverty https://ssvpusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/FOP-Walk.jpg 800 533 SVDP USA SVDP USA //ssvpusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/svdp-usa-ssvp-int.png April 21, 2021 April 22, 2021
Now in its 14th year, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's Friends of the Poor® Walk/Run is an annual event that provides local Vincentian Conferences and Councils with an opportunity to raise funds and awareness to support neighbors in need. This year's event will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2021.
The nationwide event raises awareness of the challenges faced by neighbors in need. At over 200 Walk locations across the country, more than 20,000 Vincentians, parishioners, families, and friends join together to support the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Annually, over $3.4 million is raised each year.
Benefits of Hosting a Walk
While many Conferences and Councils are avid supporters of the Walk, others may be new to the program. Here are some of the benefits of hosting a Friends of the Poor Walk/Run:
Generating funds for direct service to people living in poverty in your community.
Increasing awareness regarding the challenges faced by neighbors in need.
Enhancing visibility and reputation of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
Involving your parish, neighbors, and friends, family, and community in helping men, women and children in need in your area.
Cultivating new and existing members and donors.
Says Nathan Martin, who manages the program nationally, "The National Friends of the Poor Walk is an excellent way to raise awareness of the issues surrounding poverty, while at the same time raising money to help neighbors in need."
To learn more about the Friends of the Poor® Walk Program, please contact National Director of Fundraising Programs Nathan Martin by emailing him at the link above, or by calling (314) 576-3993 ext. 218. Or visit the Walk website: www.fopwalk.org/

Do you have a vehicle you no longer need that's taking up space in your garage or driveway? Consider donating it to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul!
Your vehicle donation helps fund local programs that will help the Society of St. Vincent de Paul serve local neighbors in need. These programs can include housing and rent assistance, utilities, food, disaster relief, job training, and more. No work of charity is foreign to the Society — Vincentian volunteers provide help and hope, faith and friendship in myriad ways all across the country, including in your neighborhood.
"The National Vehicle Donation Program is a fundraising opportunity for Conferences and Councils," says Nathan Martin, National Director of Fundraising Programs. "The funds from these donated vehicles allow local Conferences and Councils the ability to offer programs and emergency assistance for their neighbors in need. The National Council partners with a third-party vendor, Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS), who handles each donation from beginning to end. From this partnership, the National Vehicle Donation Program accepted 2,440 vehicles last year, netting almost $1.2 million for local Conferences and Councils."
What Can I Donate?
All vehicles are considered, even if they're no longer running! We accept most cars, trucks, trailers, boats, RVs, motorcycles, campers, off-road vehicles, heavy equipment, and other motorized vehicles. We'll even help tow away your unused vehicles — talk about a win-win!

Summer, sun + beach time is almost here! It is finally getting warm + lovely + just about perfect beach weather. That being said, I am very much looking forward to some time on the beach, Bellini in hand… preferably on the Mediterranean [but who's really asking]?
My favorite beach trend right now is long flowy caftans over high waisted bikinis or one pieces. Oh so retro and a throwback to the beach suits of old. I also know that I am not a huge fan of flip flops, but I AM a huge fan of fun beach sandals. Who said you had to be casual at the beach anyways?
I hope you have some fun beach vacations awaiting you this summer!

For this reason pupils generally require essay writing assist. INeedEssayHelp could be the real pioneer of the next degree of college article assistance! Yes, we're quite enthusiastic to hear from you because we're dedicated to supplying help with composition for student. I'll constantly help pupils when they have to detect essays helper. Composition writing can become a dance. superiorpapers He gets quite frustrated in reference to writing. In the event that you just can't pay attention to your job and absolutely necessitate help composing an article, just con Tact us. Folks who are writing essays for a lengthy while also require composition assist sometimes.
Skip eight:??she has time tables that are weekly and must do punctuation tests.
I figured out how to not merely compose an outstanding essay, I discovered just how to have fun whilst carrying it out. So, the very starting step in writing a powerful essay hook is constantly to do a bit of planning. Then have a rest in the article (this typically requires no less than the usual half, perhaps full, day ). Note that what constitutes a superb introduction may vary dependent on the sort of papers you're writing and the academic discipline in which you're writing it. Today let's appear at what represents a brilliant composition in psych. Should you actually understand your stuff, you need to wind up writing a brilliant composition instead of simply a decent article. If you comprehend what you wish to study in college, I Would significantly look at authoring UC essay prompt 4. You've just created a superb essay.
Your family, people and also your long haul consumers may not appreciate that method.
Questions to ask of your own composition articles might be helpful. Such services can be readily distinguished because they provide inexpensive essay creating. You are in need of a many important area of debate that could form the anchor of your own essay. The essay requires a place on the problem and may supply a broad framework for conversation. It requires a position on the problem but does not provide a context for dialogue. Stop attempting to write an outstanding composition (or actually a good-enough composition ). After producing your declaration the most vital element of essay writing is really to provide evidence from your study to back this up. How much evidence you use is founded on the form of article you're writing. Your whole article is a solution to the query, as well as your launch is the initial stage toward that conclusion.
When you might have selected the most critical point of your own paragraph or essay, you should get the best way to advise your audience about it.

With crucial writing, you're performing function collectively with the evidence you're utilizing, by adding a amount of assessment and assessment. There should to also be a suitable harmony between the 2 of these composition elements.

Sterling by Music Man Steve Lukather Signature "Luke" LK100D Guitar — Review
By Eric Kirkland, Video by Paul Riario 29 May 2014
Steve Lukather is one of the most prolific session guitarists of the past 30 years.
During that time, he's held down gigs with Toto and Ringo Starr while contributing guitar work to more than 1,500 records. To date, Ernie Ball Music Man has produced three Luke Signature Series guitars for Lukather.
The newest incarnation is the LK100D from Sterling By Music Man, created as a mid-priced offering based on the Ernie Ball Music Man LIII. While this is certainly an affordable guitar, its quality, unique tone and playability might make it the first choice for Luke buyers of all budget levels.
Features: The LK100D is a handsome instrument, but as with any great guitar, its design achievements trump any aesthetic considerations. It features a basswood body, which delivers a deeper and less sparkling tone compared to the alder-bodied Ernie Ball LIII. It's contoured across the top and neck heel in a way that prevents any part of it from cutting into the player's forearm or wrist, and the long, thin horns act as resonance-enhancing tone forks while contributing to the guitar's assertive looks.
The floating Sterling bridge features a palm rest, and the bent-steel bridge saddles open the treble response to an almost Strat-like jangle. The guitar's electronics are nearly identical to the LIII's and feature direct-mounted DiMarzio Lukather Signature Transition humbuckers, a five-way switch, a passive tone pot and a push/push volume knob with a nonadjustable active preamp to boost the signal to 12db.
The bolt-on maple neck's mild V shape is reminiscent of a neck from the Fifties that's been played continuously for the past 60 years. It has a deeper V contour at the nut that tapers almost to a C shape at the 12th fret. Its narrow, palm-supporting carve makes perfect sense when you take note of Lukather's tendency to play with his thumb well over the fretboard edge rather than pressed against the neck's hill. A 12-inch radius across the rosewood board allows for multi-step bends, and the small headstock has the familiar 4/2 configuration of locking tuners.
Performance: The LK100D's clear and deep base tones provide a neutral foundation that works well with a range of amps. The DiMarzio Transition pickups really create the guitar's voice, offering dense layers of overtones that become stronger as the gain is increased, making this guitar ideal for intense jazz fusion and shredders who don't muddy their gain with lots of effects. Both pickups are well balanced, with the bridge pickup offering gobs of tonal fat and the neck pickup more capable as an articulate, clean-channel option. Metal players may also prefer the LK100D for how the basswood blends with high-gain rigs.
Manufacturer: Sterling by Music Man, sterlingbymusicman.com
Cheat Sheet:
Solos and overall drive are enhanced by a push/push volume pot that engages an active preamp which provides up 12db of clean signal boost
A soft, tapering V carve and narrow fretboard make the neck brilliantly comfortable for all styles of play, especially for guitarists with smaller hands.
The Bottom Line:The Sterling by Music Man Steve Lukather "Luke" LK100D has a comfortable body and neck and an adaptable tone personality that will reward experienced and first-time ax-swingers alike.


A new era of ultra-powerful computing will arrive within the next decade, Microsoft researchers have predicted, as quantum computing systems capable of reaping the full benefits of the emerging technology are introduced. A new paper published this week by researchers at Microsoft's quantum lab Station Q revealed that the tech giant is working on a device that goes far beyond the capabilities of other quantum computers currently in development.
Quantum computers replace traditional bits (used in digital communications) with quantum bits, or qubits. Qubits exist in a state of superposition, meaning they can be in both states at once (zero and one), rather than the single binary states of traditional computers.
This allows computing challenges to be solved that are beyond the reach of today's fastest supercomputers. Potential applications can be found in a variety of fields, from space travel to artificial intelligence.
Since they were first theorised by the physicist Richard Feynman in 1982, academic researchers and corporate labs have attempted to build quantum computers. Among the firms pioneering development are Nasa and Google, who both use systems built by the Canadian firm D-Wave.
Researchers at Microsoft's quantum lab have previously questioned whether D-Wave's machines actually offer the computing advantages that Feynman first hypothesised, claiming that the processing power is not radically different to conventional systems.
The latest research from Microsoft states that a working quantum computer, capable of outperforming traditional computers by orders of magnitude, could be a reality within the next 10 years. Such a system, even a small one with around 100 qubits, would be able to solve problems beyond the realm of conventional computers.
"Recent improvements in control of quantum systems make it seem feasible to finally build a quantum computer within a decade," the paper's abstract states. "While it has been shown that such a quantum computer can in principle solve certain small electronic structure problems... the highly relevant problem of directly solving a complex correlated material appears to require prohibitive amount of resources."
In order to achieve this, the researchers state that a "hybrid quantum-classical" algorithm needs to be utilised in order to incorporate the power of a small quantum computer into a conventional framework.

Titanic has long fascinated me – the ultimate illustration of human frailty, the unsinkable ship that sank on its maiden voyage. For many years, it was almost a swear word in Belfast but now, having discovered human and not mechanical failings were to blame for history's most famous maritime disaster, it is a source of pride for the city once more. Having been to the new Titanic Visitor Centre already, when we read SS Nomadic, tender to the famous ship was the Titanic Quarter's latest attraction, a return trip was immediately planned.
SS Nomadic is arguably the last true link to the Titanic and the White Star Line. Built in 1911, this was the passenger tender to Titanic – she brought the first and second class passengers to the great ship. Nomadic was built by the same men, with the same materials on slipway number 1 of the same shipyard as Titanic. This is Titanic's little sister.
The ship has been restored to its former glory after 7 years and a £7 million restoration program. Thanks to some dedicated N.Irish enthusiasts who started a campaign in 2005 to save her from the scrapheap which seemed to be her destiny, Nomadic has been returned to the city where she was built.
We set out to Hamilton Docks in Belfast, adjacent to the Titanic Exhibition Centre, to visit and explore the ship. The quayside area was a source of fascination for Son – stuff to read, hands-on stuff and a huge, original caisson sparked his imagination.
Once on board, we found 4 decks to explore – each one was completely fascinating.
The first deck focuses on the link to Titanic. This ship ferried the first and second class passengers to Titanic from the docks of Cherbourg in France. The ship set off from here to sail across the Atlantic. Apparently Titanic was too large to dock in Cherbourg, so the passengers had to be ferried out to the ship.
The renovation work is fantastic and apparently the deck looks just as it did when those passengers stepped on board. It is luxurious, full of grandeur and wonderful details giving a great insight into what being a passenger or crew member would have been like. Son, being ever the sophisticate, ignored the ornate ceilings and decorative features and paid more attention to the toilets (they are the originals though), so maybe it's not all bad.
Pierre, the "virtual" barman was also a source of fascination. His image was projected onto the wall when you rang the bell at the bar. (Unfortunately he only serves virtual drinks). You have to make do with tales from Nomadic and gossip about the passengers, a craving for a G&T remains a craving.
There were displays about emigration, trans-Atlantic travel, passenger stories and a big dressing up box (adults and children alike in our family got stuck into this).
The deck below is all about Nomadic during the war years. During World War 1 and 2, she saw active service as a troop carrier and mine sweeper in France. There are more displays, more dressing up boxes, puzzles and a whole new perspective on the ship. Son "steered" Nomadic, played Top Trumps, dressed as a crew member and built his own mini Nomadic model.
On the lower deck, you can get up close and personal with the original rivets and see how the ship was built and designed. It is much more interesting than it sounds – honestly. The crew sleeping quarters were a bit of an eye opener – rather them than me.
The last deck has photos and information about the restoration, plus another intriguing side to Nomadic. She was part of Cunard and carried numerous celebrities including Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Then for 30 years, she was a floating restaurant in Paris – quite a life story.
We took a stroll along the bridge deck and admired the views of Hamilton Dock and Belfast Harbour. Son took a turn on the ship's wheel – look out for Titanic ahead. The visitor centre is the same height as the original ship – while Nomadic is exactly one quarter the size of Titanic. On the way out we found another "virtual" friend – peek into the Captain's cabin and he will chat with you.
Souvenir shops are not normally on my list (I am the polar opposite to my son), but the one here was great, even I was swayed. They had lots of tasteful and interesting bits and pieces – son still preferred the plastic tat though.
We loved SS Nomadic. I (Titanic nut) may be biased, but I think there is something very special about this little ship. The Titanic Visitor Centre may be grander, bigger and full of more "wow experiences". Climbing on board Nomadic is though, as close as you get to Titanic (without diving to the ocean's depths). Apparently the visitor numbers are not what they expected (or needed) and it is not the success they hoped for. This is a shame – maybe her fortunes will improve over the coming months. I hope so – she is a true gem.
Just have to find ourselves in Belfast, then!
Yes, a long way for you….. but Belfast (and Ireland) are great – I am biased though!
I love anything to do with the Titanic so will definitely add this to my list of things to do! It looks great, thank you for the post!
It is a great experience, definitely worth doing!
that's pretty cool. I have to check this out when I go to Ireland.
Yes it's so worth visiting if you are into the Titanic story!
Just been to the Nomadic yesterday for my first visit (22 February 2014) and enjoyed it. The tour guide was very helpful, friendly and she give us lots of information. Plenty of people were on each tour, I was glad to see. Very moving to think that so much is still there as it was in the days when taking passengers to the Titanic. After the tour you can just wander around the ship at your own pace, taking pictures if you wish.
That " little" ship is surprisingly big! Weather was good but I will go back to see and photograph the Nomadic in a summer day.
Glad to hear there were plenty of people – hopefully that means things have picked up since we were there. Glad you enjoyed it too, we also found it fascinating and moving.
There were perhaps at least 15 – 20 people on the tour I was on and substantially more than that on the following tour of foreign visitors, so seemed busy enough, although it was a Saturday. The Titanic building had plenty visitors in the shop and restaurants, but I haven't yet done the Titanic tour. One thing struck me is a pity about the Nomadic, – the ship is sitting down in the bottom of the dry dock and would really look magnificent if she was a lot higher.
Thank you for your well worded comments on your experience and I hope you continue to add more about your travels, especially in Northern Ireland. I couldn't resist putting my thoughts in!
Know what you mean about Nomadic being so low down, hadn't thought about it John but I definitely agree, she should be higher. Thank you for your kind comments and thank you for reading my blog!
Hi Joy! I'm enjoying your reports on Northern Ireland. Not a lot of people think to go up 'north' when in Ireland. Belfast is my home town, though I've lived in the U.S. for well over twenty years. I got a chance in early 2013 to see the 'new' Titanic Visitors Center' and thought it was very well done. I especially liked the outside area with the ship length and width etc. framed out on the concrete and the deaths marked by grass etc.. made it all too real 😦 but very informative. Did not see The Nomadic when I was there, must have missed it, or maybe it wasn't there yet?
I know what you mean Kerry – most people skip out the north, I definitely think they are missing out! We saw Nomadic end of July 2013 and it had opened days before so you must have just missed it!! Shame because it's really interesting – maybe next time….

Successful reportage wedding photography requires a 'hands off' approach and so, understandably, gives many people the impression that it's incredibly easy to achieve. Therefore much of the reportage wedding photography out there is not reportage at all but merely misinformed snapshots, almost amateur in delivery and predominantly consisting of isolated head-shots of smiley faces.

Seventh-day Adventists are in need of real revival, real reformation and real change.
If we want the mighty light of truth to shine throughout the world and as many people as possible to be saved and ready for Jesus to come, this is vital.
But, what needs to happen?
We are called to be a group of people who have heard and answered Jesus' commission to go beyond mere church attendance. It should be the shared dream of all of us to see God's remnant church united in mission across borders, cultures and age-differences.
What if all of us would sacrifice, give, work, invest, speak, listen, think, write, sing and love even more? Continually, with the sole purpose of furthering the divine commission?
Isn't it time to leave this self-destructive planet and be with the one we claim to love – Jesus Christ?
So, … what needs to happen?
It is not my intention to speak negatively about God's church. We are all in this boat together. Nobody is better or 'more saved' than the other.
However, it is no secret that we are struggling. Struggling with experiencing personal and corporate revival, identity and success in evangelism.
Through prophecy God has given the church of today a stern but hopeful message. It is found in Revelation 3:14-22. (Study it!) I am convinced that the advice and reproof that Jesus gives here has vital implications for you and me today and contains the solution to our issues.
The Divine Physician's diagnosis of us is alarming: "wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked." (v.17).
Jesus is concerned for us, ... because we aren't!
Shouldn't this be a wake up call for you and me?
Thankfully Jesus provides the medication as well.
Jesus goes on and explains how we can obtain these things (v.19-22): By zealous repentance, inviting Him into our existence and living out a victorious life.
All of it comes through and by faith in Him, radical trust, and a complete and full surrender.
Revival, the latter rain, world-evangelism, a healthy and active local church, it all starts with each and every one of us! You and I, we need to be intimately connected with Jesus, we need to understand our identity and calling and then arise and shine!
I am now in my twenties. After a few years of missionary work, higher education and traveling I am now starting my professional adult life. The message of Revelation 3 has pointed out to me my wretchedness and my need for God's 'medication'. By His grace I have chosen to dedicate all of my time to God. Why? Because this is what Jesus is asking for!
I cannot see any higher purpose in life than to serve Him completely.
Friends, Jesus is waiting to clothe us with His righteousness, to refine our faith and to give us His divine perspective of reality!
We are called to connect, pray, study and learn together.
We are called to move forward as one man and bring the final days of earth's history to a closure.
Imagine your youth group, your small-group, your family, on fire for God's cause.
Imagine your local church being famous as a place of love, refuge and peace.
Imagine millions of Seventh-day Adventists truly uniting for the highest calling ever given to mankind through the power of the Holy Spirit!
Imagine yourself, leading multitudes of people to Christ. Starting today!
"The heaven-appointed purpose of giving the gospel to the world in this generation is the noblest that can appeal to any human being. It opens a field of effort to everyone whose heart Christ has touched." – Ellen G. White, Education, 262.
It is possible! It has happened before (see the book of Acts). It will happen again. Are you ready? Will you be part of it?
What hinders you to go on your knees right now and recommit your life to God?
Why not give God's plan for your life your complete attention?
Why not obtain healing for your spiritual blindness, wretchedness, nakedness and poverty?
Come! Let's be devoted and committed to His will, cause and plan … though the heavens fall!
This is Jesus' challenge for you and me!
It is my prayer for you and me, that we will hear and follow Jesus' call today.

Do I need a new TV aerial?
If you suspect you have a faulty, broken, an old TV aerial, or you can no longer recieve a signal, the chances are you will need a new TV aerial. If you feel this is the case, you will need to employ an aerial installer.
Do smart TVs need an aerial?
In order to pick up any TV channels, you will need a TV aerial, regardless if your TV is a smart TV. A smart TV will allow you to have internet TV services.
How do I check that my aerial works?
Make sure your aerial cable is securely plugged into the socket in the back of your TV or set top box, and also into the socket on the wall. If there is no signal then your aerial socket may not be connected to the aerial or the cable is cut or damaged: you will need to have an aerial engineer comne to your property and look at the aerial and check if the cable runs into the building.
Can a TV work with an aerial?
In order for you to recieve Freeview channels, you will need an aerial. Your subscription channels and On Demand will either come through your broadband or a satellite dish. You will more than likely need an outdoor aerial that can recieve a digital Freeview signal.
Will an indoor aerial work in my area?
We can't say for definite until one of our engineers visits your property. Normally, for an indoor aerial to be sufficient, you need good reception at your house. This usually means you need to be close to a transmitter – preferably less than 15 miles away.

Sevastopol Sketches (Russian: Севастопольские рассказы, Sevastopolskiye rasskazy) are three short stories written by Leo Tolstoy and published in 1855 to record his experiences during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854–1855) in the Crimean War (1853-1856). The name originates from Sevastopol, a city in Crimea. The book has also been released under the anglicized title The Sebastopol Sketches and is sometimes titled Sevastopol Stories. These brief "sketches" formed the basis of many of the episodes in Tolstoy's magnum opus, War and Peace. Sevastopol in December: In Sevastopol in December, Tolstoy uses second person narrative (with the pronoun 'you') in an introductory tour of life in Sevastopol. The detailed tour is arguably similar to one Tolstoy may have been given upon arrival in Sevastopol in November, 1854…. Tolstoy also uses Sevastopol in December to introduce the reader to the settings, mannerisms, and background he uses in Sevastopol in May and Sevastopol in August. For example, when referring to the enemy, either the British or the French, but only the French are featured in the Sketches; they are referred to as " 'him', as both soldiers and sailors say". Sevastopol in May In Sevastopol in May, Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war. The story examines many aspects of the psychology of war, heroism, and the misleading presence of humanism in truces (misleading because countries continuously go to war with one another, despite past truces). Tolstoy concludes by declaring that the only hero of his story is truth. - Summary by wikipedia and david wales

#PlantTheirFuture: Buy Plants and Save a Child's Future
A clean and green environment is crucial to the health and development of children. In line with this sustainable development goal, Save the Children Philippines is launching #PlantTheirFuture, a fundraising campaign that cultivates care for plants, and supports the learning needs of children in poor households amid the pandemic.
Ornamental agriculture has gained a trending popularity as many people staying home during the quarantine period found planting as a means to destress while some saw it as an opportunity to support a living.
The campaign invites everyone, most especially the 'plantitas' and 'plantitos,' to help deprived and marginalized children to get access to education while doing their hobbies and caring for the environment.
Through a partnership with Long Live Plants, supporters can purchase a 6 x 6-inch Dragon Tail plant in a woven basket for only Php 995.
Each plant purchased will provide a basic learning kit to a child under Save the Children's Project ARAL (Access to Resources for Alternative Learning) that will support the learning from home of underprivileged children in Caloocan, Navotas, and Malabon, as well as in Southern Mindanao.
Naida Pasion, Chief Business Development Officer of Save the Children Philippines, said while classes reopened last week, millions of children are still at risk of being left behind due to lack of access to learning materials, including devices and internet connection.
"Christmas is about giving, and as we nurture plants at home, so too can we support children's continuing learning at home and help ensure a better future for them. This season, let's express our gratitude for the life that we have, by giving back to our children, to our environment through the #PlantTheirFuture project," said Pasion.
Plantitos and plantitas may order the Dragon Tail plant by sending a message to Long Live Plants on their Instagram @longliveplants.ph and/ or to Save the Children Philippines via e-mail at judy.malabanan@savethechildren.org. Shipping fee will be shouldered by the donor/ buyer.
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In the Philippines and around the world, we give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.

Manhattan-Sized Pumice Raft Could Bring New Life to Great Barrier Reef
Aug. 26, 2019 06:37AM EST Oceans
The pumice raft as seen from space on Aug. 13. NASA Earth Observatory
Could an undersea volcanic eruption help the Great Barrier Reef recover from coral bleaching?
A Manhattan-size raft of pumice stones ― believed to be the result of an undersea eruption near Tonga ― is floating on the Pacific Ocean towards Australia, CNN reported Monday. The pumice carries with it marine organisms like crabs and corals that experts say could bring new life to the iconic reef, which lost about half its corals to back-to-back bleaching events in 2016 and 2017.
"Based on past pumice raft events we have studied over the last 20 years, it's going to bring new healthy corals and other reef dwellers to the Great Barrier Reef," Queensland University of Technology geologist Scott Bryan told The Guardian.
Pumice is formed by lava sent up from underwater volcanoes, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Observatory explained. Because it is lighter than water and full of holes, it floats.
In a 2012 study reported by CNN, Bryan and others found that pumice rafts are one way that the ocean redistributes marine life.
This particular raft was first spotted by NASA satellites and sailors Aug. 9. On Aug. 15, Australian couple Michael Hoult and Larissa Brill encountered the raft while sailing to Fiji on the catamaran ROAM and posted a detailed account on Facebook, as NPR reported.
"We entered a total rock rubble slick made up of pumice stones from marble to basketball size. The waves were knocked back to almost calm and the boat was slowed to 1kt. The rubble slick went as far as we could see in the moonlight and with our spotlight," the pair wrote.
On Aug. 9, Shannon Lenz also sailed through the pumice near VaVa'u. She posted a video of the experience on YouTube.
The field is 58 square miles and is expected to reach Australia's coast in seven to 12 months.
"It's the right timing. So it will be able to pick up corals and other reef building organisms, and then bring them into the Great Barrier Reef," Bryan told The Guardian. "Each piece of pumice is a rafting vehicle. It's a home and a vehicle for marine organisms to attach and hitch a ride across the deep ocean to get to Australia."
However, there are some risks. The pumice could bring invasive species, Bryan warned CNN. It is also challenging for corals to settle in a new area. They can't just jump off of the pumice and onto new habitat like crabs can, for example. They have to wait till they are ready to reproduce and then send off larvae that will attach elsewhere. But if the pumice fills with water and sinks, the corals could start to grow and spawn from the sea floor, Bryan explained.
In the midst of the climate crisis, the Great Barrier Reef needs all the reinforcements it can get. A study published this month found that the longer, more frequent and more extreme marine heat waves brought on by climate change can kill the coral animal itself faster than the death by starvation associated with bleaching, when the coral expels the algae that gives it food and color.

Drafting's Improvement of 3000-m Running Performance in Elite Athletes: Is It a Placebo Effect?
Hassane Zouhal, Abderraouf Ben Abderrahman, Jacques Prioux, Beat Knechtle, Lotfi Bouguerra, Wiem Kebsi and Timothy D. Noakes
To determine the effect of drafting on running time, physiological response, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during 3000-m track running.
Ten elite middle- and long-distance runners performed 3 track-running sessions. The 1st session determined maximal oxygen uptake and maximal aerobic speed using a lightweight ambulatory respiratory gasexchange system (K4B2). The 2nd and the 3rd tests consisted of nondrafting 3000-m running (3000-mND) and 3000-m running with drafting for the 1st 2000 m (3000-mD) performed on the track in a randomized counterbalanced order.
Performance during the 3000-mND (553.59 ± 22.15 s) was significantly slower (P < .05) than during the 3000-mD (544.74 ± 18.72 s). Cardiorespiratory responses were not significantly different between the trials. However, blood lactate concentration was significantly higher (P < .05) after the 3000-mND (16.4 ± 2.3 mmol/L) than after the 3000-mD (13.2 ± 5.6 mmol/L). Athletes perceived the 3000-mND as more strenuous than the 3000-mD (P < .05) (RPE = 16.1 ± 0.8 vs 13.1 ± 1.3). Results demonstrate that drafting has a significant effect on performance in highly trained runners.
This effect could not be explained by a reduced energy expenditure or cardiorespiratory effort as a result of drafting. This raises the possibility that drafting may aid running performance by both physiological and nonphysiological (ie, psychological) effects.
Factors That Influence Running Intensity in Interchange Players in Professional Rugby League
Jace A. Delaney, Heidi R. Thornton, Grant M. Duthie and Ben J. Dascombe
Rugby league coaches adopt replacement strategies for their interchange players to maximize running intensity; however, it is important to understand the factors that may influence match performance.
To assess the independent factors affecting running intensity sustained by interchange players during professional rugby league.
Global positioning system (GPS) data were collected from all interchanged players (starters and nonstarters) in a professional rugby league squad across 24 matches of a National Rugby League season. A multilevel mixed-model approach was employed to establish the effect of various technical (attacking and defensive involvements), temporal (bout duration, time in possession, etc), and situational (season phase, recovery cycle, etc) factors on the relative distance covered and average metabolic power (Pmet) during competition. Significant effects were standardized using correlation coefficients, and the likelihood of the effect was described using magnitude-based inferences.
Superior intermittent running ability resulted in very likely large increases in both relative distance and Pmet. As the length of a bout increased, both measures of running intensity exhibited a small decrease. There were at least likely small increases in running intensity for matches played after short recovery cycles and against strong opposition. During a bout, the number of collision-based involvements increased running intensity, whereas time in possession and ball time out of play decreased demands.
These data demonstrate a complex interaction of individual- and match-based factors that require consideration when developing interchange strategies, and the manipulation of training loads during shorter recovery periods and against stronger opponents may be beneficial.

Relationship Between Running Velocity of 2 Distances and Various Lactate Parameters
Charilaos Papadopoulos, J. Andrew Doyle and Brian D. LaBudde
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between various lactate-threshold (LT) definitions and the average running velocity during a 10-km and a 21.1-km time trial (TT).
Thirteen well-trained runners completed an incremental maximal exercise test, a 10-km TT, and a 21.1-km TT on a motorized treadmill. Blood samples were collected through a venous catheter placed in an antecubital vein. Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to determine the relationship between the running velocity at the different LT definitions and the average running velocity during each TT. A dependent t test was used to determine statistical differences for the mean lactate response between the 2 running distances.
The LTDmax, the point on the regression curve that yielded the maximal perpendicular distance to the straight line formed by the 2 endpoints, was the LT definition with the highest correlation for both 10-km (r = .844) and 21.1-km TTs (r = .783). The velocity at the LTDmax was not, however, the velocity closest to the performance velocity for either distance. The mean running velocity at each LT was significantly different and tended to overestimate the mean TT performance velocities. The mean lactate concentration during the 10-km TT (3.52 ± 1.58 mmol) was significantly higher than during the 21.1-km TT (1.86 ± 0.90 mmol).
These results indicate that a single LT point cannot be reliably associated with different running distances. Furthermore, these data suggest that a different methodology for estimating the LT that considers individual responses might be required for different running distances.

Influence of Number of Contact Efforts on Running Performance During Game-Based Activities
Rich D. Johnston, Tim J. Gabbett and David G. Jenkins
To determine the influence the number of contact efforts during a single bout has on running intensity during game-based activities and assess relationships between physical qualities and distances covered in each game.
Eighteen semiprofessional rugby league players (age 23.6 ± 2.8 y) competed in 3 off-side small-sided games (2 × 10-min halves) with a contact bout performed every 2 min. The rules of each game were identical except for the number of contact efforts performed in each bout. Players performed 1, 2, or 3 × 5-s wrestles in the single-, double-, and triple-contact game, respectively. The movement demands (including distance covered and intensity of exercise) in each game were monitored using global positioning system units. Bench-press and back-squat 1-repetition maximum and the 30−15 Intermittent Fitness Test (30−15IFT) assessed muscle strength and high-intensity-running ability, respectively.
There was little change in distance covered during the single-contact game (ES = −0.16 to −0.61), whereas there were larger reductions in the double- (ES = −0.52 to −0.81) and triple-contact (ES = −0.50 to −1.15) games. Significant relationships (P < .05) were observed between 30–15IFT and high-speed running during the single- (r = .72) and double- (r = .75), but not triple-contact (r = .20) game.
There is little change in running intensity when only single contacts are performed each bout; however, when multiple contacts are performed, greater reductions in running intensity result. In addition, high-intensity-running ability is only associated with running performance when contact demands are low.
The COL5A1 Gene, Ultra-Marathon Running Performance, and Range of Motion
James C. Brown, Caron-Jayne Miller, Michael Posthumus, Martin P. Schwellnus and Malcolm Collins
Endurance running performance is a multifactorial phenotype that is strongly associated with running economy. Sit and reach range of motion (SR ROM) is negatively associated with running economy, suggesting that reduced SR ROM is advantageous for endurance running performance. The COL5A1 gene has been associated with both endurance running performance and SR ROM in separate cohorts. The aim of this study was to investigate whether COL5A1 is associated with ultra-marathon running performance and whether this relationship could be partly explained by prerace SR ROM.
Seventy-two runners (52 male, 20 female) were recruited from the 56 km Two Oceans ultra-marathon and were assessed for prerace SR ROM. The cohort was genotyped for the COL5A1 BsfUI restriction fragment length polymorphism, and race times were collected after the event.
Participants with a TT genotype (341 ± 41 min, N = 21) completed the 56 km Two Oceans ultra-marathon significantly (P = 0.014) faster than participants with TC and CC genotypes (365 ± 39 min, N = 50). The COL5A1 genotype and age accounted for 19% of performance variance. When the cohort was divided into performance and flexibility quadrants, the T allele was significantly (P = 0.044) over-represented within the fast and inflexible quadrant.
The COL5A1 genotype was found to be significantly associated with performance in a 56 km ultra-endurance run. This study confirms previous findings and it furthers our understanding of the relationships among ROM, COL5A1, and endurance running performance. We continue to speculate that the COL5A1 gene alters muscle-tendon stiffness.

Selected Kinematic Patterns of Visually Impaired Youth in Sprint Running
Robert W. Arnhold Jr. and Peter McGrain
The purpose of this study was to determine which set of selected kinematic variables affected the speed of visually impaired residential youth in the sprint run. The subjects were 27 students, 16 males and 11 females, between the ages of 9.4 and 16.4 years. Film data were collected during two trials of the 50-m dash. A Fortran computer program produced nine variables from these digitized data. A multiple regression analysis was performed on the variables using running speed as the dependent variable. Results of a correlation matrix yielded five variables with significant bivariate correlations to running speed. Results of a regression analysis indicated that the cycle length and hip joint range of motion had significant effects on running speed. Implications for an increase in sprinting speed include increasing stride length via the generation of greater hip extension during the drive phase and a greater hip flexion during the recovery phase of sprint running.

Lower-Leg Compression, Running Mechanics, and Economy in Trained Distance Runners
Abigail S.L. Stickford, Robert F. Chapman, Jeanne D. Johnston and Joel M. Stager
The efficacy of and mechanisms behind the widespread use of lower-leg compression as an ergogenic aid to improve running performance are unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine whether wearing graduated lower-leg compression sleeves during exercise evokes changes in running economy (RE), perhaps due to altered gait mechanics. Sixteen highly trained male distance runners completed 2 separate RE tests during a single laboratory session, including a randomized-treatment trial of graduated calf-compression sleeves (CS; 15–20 mm Hg) and a control trial (CON) without compression sleeves. RE was determined by measuring oxygen consumption at 3 constant submaximal speeds of 233, 268, and 300 m/min on a treadmill. Running mechanics were measured during the last 30 s of each 4-min stage of the RE test via wireless triaxial 10-g accelerometer devices attached to the top of each shoe. Ground-contact time, swing time, step frequency, and step length were determined from accelerometric output corresponding to foot-strike and toe-off events. Gait variability was calculated as the standard deviation of a given gait variable for an individual during the last 30 s of each stage. There were no differences in VO2 or kinematic variables between CON and CS trials at any of the speeds. Wearing lower-leg compression does not alter the energetics of running at submaximal speeds through changes in running mechanics or other means. However, it appears that the individual response to wearing lower-leg compression varies greatly and warrants further examination.
Effects of Downhill Running on the Responses to an Oral Glucose Challenge
William M. Sherman, Julie M. Lash, John C. Simonsen and Susan A. Bloomfield
Because muscle damage from eccentric exercise has been associated with alterations in muscle glycogen metabolism, this study determined the effects of exercise on the insulin and glucose responses to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In a repeated-measures design, 11 subjects undertook either no exercise, 2 min of isokinetic leg exercise, or 50 min of level or downhill running. No exercise was performed and diet was controlled during the 48 hrs after the treatments and before the OGTT. Ratings of muscle soreness and CK activity were significantly elevated 48 hrs after downhill running. Level running also increased CK activity but did not induce muscle soreness. Isokinetic exercise did not affect either one. Blood glucose responses to the OGTT were similar among the treatments. In contrast, the insulin responses to the OGTT following downhill running were significantly increased. These results suggest that eccentric exercise associated with downhill running that results in delayed muscle soreness is associated with the development of a mild insulin-resistant condition.

Effect of Different Repeated-High-Intensity-Effort Bouts on Subsequent Running, Skill Performance, and Neuromuscular Function
Rich D. Johnston, Tim J. Gabbett, David G. Jenkins and Michael J. Speranza
To assess the impact of different repeated-high-intensity-effort (RHIE) bouts on player activity profiles, skill involvements, and neuromuscular fatigue during small-sided games.
22 semiprofessional rugby league players (age 24.0 ± 1.8 y, body mass 95.6 ± 7.4 kg).
During 4 testing sessions, they performed RHIE bouts that each differed in the combination of contact and running efforts, followed by a 5-min off-side small-sided game before performing a second bout of RHIE activity and another 5-min small-sided game. Global positioning system microtechnology and video recordings provided information on activity profiles and skill involvements. A countermovement jump and a plyometric push-up assessed changes in lower- and upper-body neuromuscular function after each session.
After running-dominant RHIE bouts, players maintained running intensities during both games. In the contact-dominant RHIE bouts, reductions in moderate-speed activity were observed from game 1 to game 2 (ES = –0.71 to –1.06). There was also moderately lower disposal efficiency across both games after contact-dominant RHIE activity compared with running-dominant activity (ES = 0.62–1.02). Greater reductions in lower-body fatigue occurred as RHIE bouts became more running dominant (ES = –0.01 to –1.36), whereas upper-body fatigue increased as RHIE bouts became more contact dominant (ES = –0.07 to –1.55).
Physical contact causes reductions in running intensity and the quality of skill involvements during game-based activities. In addition, the neuromuscular fatigue experienced by players is specific to the activities performed.
