text: According to psychological theories of environmental affect, the physical environment moderates the walking experience and its psychological wellbeing benefits. The present paper further demonstrates that affective experiences also influence intentions to walk. A study to explore the influence of affective experiences of walking on walking intentions is reported. A sample of adults working or studying in Bristol, UK (n = 384) participated in an experiment involving virtual exposure to one of five environments, with evaluations of their affective experience and of intentions to walk in the setting. A subsample (n = 14) then took part in photo-elicited semi-structured interviews. Multiple regression analyses showed that affective experiences of walking influenced walking intentions. Interview analyses highlighted the role of traffic, city busyness, and poor aesthetics. This is the first empirical study that examines the walking experience and related walking intentions from the pedestrian perspective employing theories of environmental affect. The findings indicate that safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation are crucial elements for the walking experience. Following this, a strategy to promote active mobility in the built environment can be constructed around safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation by targeting the micro elements that prevent them.

Fiber-Matrix Displacement during the Compressive Phase of Shock Loading
ARMY BALLISTIC RESEARCH LAB ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD
Pagination or Media Count:
Electromagnetic-gage type measurements were performed to determine fiber wire-matrix displacement during the compressive phase of shock loading. Fiber diameter and shock impedance were the variables investigated. The relative displacement was found to increase with the fiber diameter, but data for each fiber material could be well represented by a single curve if fiber diameter was used as the unit of relative displacement and shock transit time through the fiber diameter was used as the unit of time. Fibers attained the matrix velocity after a maximum, normalized relative displacement which varied linearly as the three-halves power of the shock impedance.

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.


Earning to give is the pursuit of a lucrative career with the purpose of donating a significant portion of the earnings to cost-effective organizations.
The value of earning to give may not be immediately obvious, since people tend to think of ethical jobs as those with a direct positive impact. A useful framing for comparing the social impact of earning to give with that of traditional careers in the nonprofit sector is to consider whether someone pursuing a lucrative career could earn enough to fund at least one nonprofit worker as competent as himor herself. This will often be the case because there is considerable salary variation across career-types, because money is a fungible resource that can fund many different causes, and because the impact of a charity worker is usually only marginally higher than that of its counterfactual replacement (MacAskill 2014).
Although this approach has sometimes been represented as the highest impact type of career, 80,000 Hours currently believes that it is the best option for only a small proportion of members of the effective altruism community (MacAskill 2015). To a significant extent, this follows from the fact that the most promising causes tend to be talent-constrained rather than funding-constrained (Todd 2015)....

Super Yum Yum: Puzzle Adventures Review
Europe PAL Version
Posted by Marcel van Duyn
Fairly yummy
First released for mobile phones and iPhone, Super Yum Yum is a puzzle game in which you play as Leon the chameleon, attempting to recover all your children and your large supply of fruit, all of which have been stolen by Ms. Tum Tum, a big blue creature with a large appetite.
After a quick tutorial level you'll be thrust into action immediately. The game is divided into four worlds, each of which has 12 stages. You can only tackle four of these stages at a time; to access the next four, you'll have to collect a certain amount of fruit in the already open stages. If you just make it a point to collect all fruit in every stage, you'll be fine: eventually you'll even be able to reach the next four stages without even playing any of the current ones.
The actual gameplay in each of the stages is fairly straightforward: simply collect all the fruit! Chameleons have fairly long tongues, and you'll be taking advantage of that. Most stages have a large number of gaps, with fruit on the other side, and you can even use your tongue to grab them and pull yourself across. It won't be long until stages also have Leon's children for you to rescue. They're collected in the same way as fruit, however, if you grab them from across a gap, you'll pull them towards yourself, rather than the other way around.
Leon's children start off being unimportant, but very quickly come into play. Certain stages feature extra large fruit, which require you to have one or more of your children with you before becoming edible. The amount of chameleons (including yourself) necessary to eat one will be depicted on it, so try to devise a path through the stage which allows you to get children before finding any large fruit.
But everything is not as simple as it sounds. All fruit has different colours, which signifies that Leon can only eat it when he himself is the same colour. All fruit also has leaves on top, which in most cases is a different colour from the fruit itself. After eating a fruit, you'll turn into the colour of the leaves, so most levels only have one or two possible solutions, as you'll have to eat everything in a very speciifc order.
Of course, you're likely to make a mistake or two some time, and the developers have thought of that, incorporating a rewind button that allows you to go one step back as many times as you want, all the way back to the very beginning of the level.
Once you've beaten a world, you'll actually have to fight a boss battle, something quite strange for a game like this. Leon's children play a role once more here, as you'll have to get past an even larger piece of fruit. A power bar will appear on screen with a slider automatically going from left to right – you'll have to stop it within a highlighted section of the bar to successfully fling one of your children at the fruit.
Once you've thrown all your kids, you'll have to continue stopping the slider in the correct section of the bar in order to start eating away at the fruit. The amount of kids you threw at it successfully determines how fast it'll go down, so if you rescued all kids and managed to throw all of them onto the fruit, you're far likelier to win within the time limit.
Although the gameplay is quite addicting, strangely the rest of the game is a bit lacking. Other versions, such as the one for iPhone, looked very clean and smooth, but the DSiWare release is noticeably uglier, and the game's small number of cutscenes all run very choppily. By far the worst is the music, as you'll only hear any on the level select screens: during actual gameplay, the game is completely silent, save for the sounds Leon and his kids make. The level select music would've been perfectly fine for the actual levels as well, so we wonder why the developers didn't simply do that.
On the whole, Super Yum Yum is a pretty fun game. With 48 increasingly hard levels, it will last you a good few hours, at least if you're trying to collect everything. The graphics and (near lack of) music will be off-putting to some, but there's nothing a stereo or a music player on your computer can't solve.

The trailer for this looked fun.
Without music however, I will have to skip this one and wait for DodoGo!
Froggievilleus said:
This is a cute game. And Leon makes noises when eating fruit and such. And to be honest, I usually have the sound off and listen to other stuff while playing games.
Bankai said:
The review doesn't mention how clever the puzzles are in this game - it's really taxing on the brain in places, but at the same time, it's never stressful.
It's actually one of the better puzzlers on DSiWare.

Hopefully this is simple - I DataBind a bunch of labels and text controls in a Silverlight application (to DependencyProperties that I create in my class), but of course the text is empty at design time.
I'd still like to have an idea of how this will be laid out; is there a way to specify a design-time value, even though it's databound?

The feature you're looking for is Expression Blend Sample Data. Sample Data allows you to specify a Design Time data source that has some sample fields in it (names, addresses, numbers, images, hierarchies, etc).
Here's a good introduction article: _URL_
And here's a collection of links on Sample data: _URL_
The core of Sample Data is you use build a mock design time datasource in blend (shaped like your data types), define the type of sample data and the bindings get evaluated to give you a meaningful design time experience.

A novel wavelet-based algorithm for real-time detection of epileptic seizures using scalp EEG is proposed. In a moving-window analysis, the EEG from each channel is decomposed by wavelet packet transform. Using wavelet coefficients from seizure and nonseizure references, a patient-specific measure is developed to quantify the separation between seizure and nonseizure states for the frequency range of 1-30 Hz. Utilizing this measure, a frequency band representing the maximum separation between the two states is determined and employed to develop a normalized index, called combined seizure index (CSI). CSI is derived for each epoch of every EEG channel based on both rhythmicity and relative energy of that epoch as well as consistency among different channels. Increasing significantly during ictal states, CSI is inspected using one-sided cumulative sum test to generate proper channel alarms. Analyzing alarms from all channels, a seizure alarm is finally generated. The algorithm was tested on scalp EEG recordings from 14 patients, totaling 75.8 h with 63 seizures. Results revealed a high sensitivity of 90.5%, a false detection rate of 0.51 h-1 and a median detection delay of 7 s. The algorithm could also lateralize the focus side for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

What is the Difference Between a Conservatory and an Orangery?
difference between a conservatory and an orangery
A question we hear a lot is, "What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?".
At a glance, modern orangeries and conservatories don't seem that different. Their visual similarities can make the task of identifying what roof conversion or extension style you want confusing.
We're going to make things more straightforward. Here is a concise history and description of orangeries and conservatories and what makes them different.
What is an Orangery?
what is an orangery
Classic Orangeries
Both orangeries and conservatories date from around the 17th to the 19th century. Orangeries got their name from their original purpose – to provide shelter for citrus trees during the harsh winter months.
A typical staple of homes on affluent estates, orangeries were a sign of wealth and were often stand-alone structures made from both solid materials such as brick and glass.
Notable examples include the large orangeries at Kensington Palace and Kew Royal Botanical Gardens.
Both of these orangeries were intended to house exotic fruit but were also entertaining spaces – a function they serve to this day.
Modern Orangeries
Most domestic orangeries don't mimic the grandiosity of Kensington Palace, but the mixture of brick and glass make them attractive pieces of architecture.
While modern orangeries will retain most of the original features of a classic orangery, they're likely to be smaller in size and used as a room or home extension instead of a tree shelter zone.
They blend into contemporary and classic styles, and with the correct roof choice, they'll look more like an extension than a conservatory because of their brick structure.
What is a Conservatory?
what is a conservatory
Classic Conservatories
Conservatories were first built to protect plants and shrubs, and similar to orangeries also became to be associated with the wealthy.
The Palm House at Kew Gardens and the iconic Crystal Palace are Georgian and Victorian examples of conservatory-style structures.
Constructed from glass and iron, old-style conservatories were susceptible to rust and fluctuating temperatures, and they fell out of fashion by World War II.
Modern Conservatories
With advancements in building materials, conservatories became popular for homeowners as extension-style rooms around forty years ago.
Companies offered full design, installation and warranties. The materials were cheap too (polycarbonate and glass or plastic), which made them appealing for homeowners that wanted to add an extension to their home or garden.
Technological advances in flooring, blinds and roofing mean that homeowners have more options available when trying to regulate the temperature in the room, making the rooms accessible at all times of the year.
What is the Technical Difference Between a Conservatory and an Orangery?
technical differences between conservatory and orangery
The main difference in conservatories and orangeries comes in the glass-to-other-materials ratio in the structure.
For example, if your structure contains less than 75% glass in the roof structure and less than 50% glass in the wall structure, you have an orangery.
If your structure contains more than 75% glass in the roof structure and less than 50% glass in the wall structure, you have a conservatory.
What Are the Other Differences Between a Conservatory and an Orangery?
other differences between conservatory and orangery
You can use percentages as a guideline, but they're difficult to quantify. And when it comes to the details behind what defines a building as a conservatory or as an orangery, there aren't any specific rules.
You could use the shape as an indicator; orangeries are more likely to be rectangular or square. Conservatories can be rectangular or square, but there are other shapes such as P, L and T-Shaped conservatories.
The bottom line is that they're very similar, and with the various styles and home improvement options available today, the names are becoming more interchangeable.
An orangery has more brickwork than a conservatory and is a hybrid between a traditional conservatory and a reliable extension.
Orangeries often have flat roofs with a raised roof lantern. However, there are other options on the market, such as a pitched tiled orangery roof.
Conservatories are mainly made from glass or polycarbonate, are attached to the main house, and usually have a pitched roof.
Are Orangeries Warmer Than Conservatories?
are orangeries warmer than conservatories
While orangeries contain more brick than conservatories, it's often a marginal amount. Both structures will suffer from the poor insulation qualities of glass, so they'll usually be hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
Orangeries may be slightly warmer than conservatories, but it won't make it inhabitable in the winter months unless you'll need another heat circulating method.
Can You Turn a Conservatory into An Orangery?
can you turn a conservatory into an orangery
While it is possible to convert a conservatory into an orangery, it isn't an easy job and may require building regulations and planning permission.
You would probably have to rebuild the structure anyway, so you'd be starting from scratch after dismantling your conservatory.
A cheaper, quicker and more straightforward option would be to install a roof on your conservatory.
A roof will give the impression of an extension and will help to regulate the temperature in the room. You'll also be able to use the room all year round.
You need to ask yourself where you think you should invest your money and what you want the room to do.
SupaLite Conservatory & Orangery Roofs
If you make the smart choice to replace your original glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a tiled replacement roof from SupaLite, you no longer have a conservatory, but an extension.
You also have the option to add roof lanterns (traditionally seen on orangeries) or vents to your replacement tiled roof.
You can see how our various options allow you to create your own ideal conservatory/orangery/extension hybrid and make the names more interchangeable.
Whatever style you currently have or want to build, choosing a SupaLite Roof will ensure you have a comfortable, energy-efficient and robust living space, suitable for enjoying all year round.

 Ministry is an American industrial metal band founded by lead singer Al Jourgensen in 1981. Originally a new wave - synthpop outfit, Ministry changed its style to industrial metal in the late 1980s. Ministry found mainstream success in the early 1990s with its most successful album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs and touring as part of the Lollapalooza festival. After 27 years of performing, Jourgensen decided to end the band in 2008, and since then stated that a reunion would never happen. However, on August 7, 2011, a reunion was announced, when Ministry confirmed that they will play one of their first shows in 4 years at the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2012. Ministry released a new album, titled Relapse, on March 23, 2012, which was followed by a world tour.

This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word xerophyte
desert plant, xerophyte, xerophytic plant, xerophile, xerophilous plant(noun)
plant adapted for life with a limited supply of water; compare hydrophyte and mesophyte
Any plant suited for life in a habitat where water is scarce, such as in a desert or chaparral. Such plants may be succulent, have small or reduced leaves, or spines.
A desert plant
Origin: xero- + -phyte
A xerophyte is a species of plant that has adapted to survive in an arid environment, such as a desert. The morphology and physiology of xerophytes are variously adapted to conserve water, and commonly also to store large quantities of water, during dry periods. Other species may be adapted to survive long periods of desiccation of their tissues, during which their metabolic activity may effectively shut down. Plants with such morphological and physiological adaptations are called xeromorphic.
The numerical value of xerophyte in Chaldean Numerology is: 6
The numerical value of xerophyte in Pythagorean Numerology is: 1

Real-time simulation of soil–tool interaction using advanced soil models
Gürbüz, Mücahit
Excavation work is one of the main elements needed in construction fields. To meet such a huge demand, a large number of excavators are working all over the globe. In addition, researchers and companies put enormous efforts to develop more efficient excavator models. With the advancement of technology, autonomous systems have become popular and ideal way to upgrade machines for faster, cheaper and safer production. Not surprisingly, there have been many attempts to develop fully autonomous robotic excavation systems and this has become one of the trending topics in the earth-moving industry. There are some key challenges in developing an autonomous excavation system. For example, accurate and fast prediction of resisting soil forces on the excavator bucket plays a crucial role in developing unmanned excavator systems. Current studies provide unrealistic and/or computationally expensive soil-tool interaction models. This study represents a new method to solve the interaction of excavator bucket and soil in real-time with acceptable accuracy. Through the developed accurate real-time soil-tool interaction simulation, it is also aimed to make further progress in virtual reality systems requiring real-time simulations, cabin simulators, and computer games.

ZTE in partnership with Ansaldo STS has completed a communication-based train control (CBTC) over LTE test. Ansaldo STS, which specialises in the global signalling and integrated transport systems markets for both passengers (railway/mass transit) and freight, provided the CBTC signalling equipment, while ZTE provided the LTE equipment and devices required for the test.
The test result shows that ZTE's LTE technology met the requirement of CBTC. The test covered scenarios such as static condition, handover, failover and load with static and dynamic configuration.
The key performance indicators (for example, packet loss, latency, maximal number of users, system start-up and shutdown time) fully comply with the requirement of CBTC transmission, ZTE said.
Prior to the lab test, ZTE and Ansaldo STS had already verified CBTC over LTE in the Hangzhou Metro (pictured) using the automatic train operation (ATO) mode. This field verification confirmed that key performance indicators, such as packet loss and latency, fully met the requirement of CBTC.
LTE is being touted as a possible successor to the widely used GSM-R communication-based train control system used on European railways. However, with new GSM-R systems still being deployed, LTE is not expected to be widely used in Europe for at least a decade if not longer.

How To: Spot a Jaguar in the Wild
Although the chances of spotting a Jaguar in the wild are slim, many guides and guests have stories and pictures to prove that if you are very lucky, it can happen. Here are some things you can do to increase your odds of seeing the largest cat in the Amazon in its natural habitat.
 1. Take a trip to the Tambopata Research Center (TRC). While staying at Refugio Amazonas you only have a 2% chance of seeing a Jaguar and an even lesser 1% percent chance at Posada Amazonas, at TRC, your odds increase to 12%.
 2. Hop in a boat. The best place to spot a jaguar is the river bank. In the jungle they camouflage very well and can be nearly impossible to notice. Also, Jaguars prefer to river banks to rest and find their food which consists of capybara, deer, peccaries, turtles, caimans, birds, agouties, and fish.
 3. Be very quiet and stay still. Jaguars have binocular and color vision and a heightened sense of hearing. In most cases they are able to detect humans before we can spot them.
 4. Go looking during the day. The jaguar is active 60% of the day and unlike the the Puma and Ocelot, who only hunt at night, the Jaguar can look for food during the day.

The Shadower - Realistic Drop Shadows in Javascript
December 4, 2006
This has been done before, but not in such a simple and elegant way, in my opinion. This implementation has four important features that separate it from the rest: no images, no messy nested divs in your html code, no CSS, and realistic fading shadows! It is based on the Prototype Javascript Framework, and requires version 1.5, which you can get here.
Some Examples
Other drop shadow libraries that eschew images, provide their shadow by adding an absolutely positioned div just behind the object. Like so...
Example 1
(Drag Me Around)
I think you'll agree that that looks pretty bad. But it's a lot better with a little opacity tweak...
Example 2
(Drag Me Around)
But it still just looks like a gray box under there, doesn't it? That's where the magic of The Shadower comes in. Rather than just one gray box, it uses several successively smaller boxes stacked on top of each other to create a realistic drop shadow that really fades into the background.
Example 3
(Drag Me Around)
Now, doesn't that look better? Drag it up next to the others if you aren't convinced.
So how do I use it?
There are five parameters to play with in getting your drop shadow just right.
distance [default: 8]
The distance away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. This can also be thought of as the height "above the page" of the shadowed object
angle [default: 130]
The direction away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. It is measured in degrees from the vertical. If you think of it like the numbers on a clock, 12 is at 0°, 3 is at 90°, 6 is at 180°, 9 is at 270°, etc. The default angle of 130 would be between 3 and 4 on the clock face.
opacity [default: 0.7]
The opacity of the shadow, measured between 0.0 and 1.0.
nestedShadows [default: 4]
This is the number of gradually darker shadows to draw under the shadowed element.
color [default: #000000]
This is the color of the shadow. The default black color is good enough for most uses, but you can change it if you want.
Go ahead! Play with it!
Test Example
(Drag Me Around)
Presets: Example 1Example 2Example 3
Ideally, you should set a CSS class on any elements that you want shadowed, and then call Shadower.shadowWithClass() on page load. Like so...
This div is shadowed
So what are you waiting for? Download it and start using it!
I have not yet tested this on all browsers. If you have any problems, please either leave a comment on this blog entry or email me at erikwordpressplugins -atgmail.

The results show that a diffusion layer is formed between Mo and Ni after sintering at 1223k for 1h, which is comprised of a δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel. The self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient are 2.068×10-18cm2/s and 4.5×10-12cm2/s, respectively. It is suggested that the diffusion rate of Mo in δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel is 106 times bigger than that of self diffusion, and the intermetallic compound layer provides a short diffusion path for Mo activated sintering.

Supporting parents in the Canary Islands
In the Canary Islands, we're helping parents of children aged between 6 and 13 to be good role models when it comes to drinking alcohol.
In 'Los Padres Tienen la Plabra' ('It's over to the Parents'), Petra Maria Pérez, Professor of Education at the University of Valencia, gives advice on how parents can talk to their children to discourage them from drinking alcohol.
The guide is distributed at educational centres and in collaboration with parents' federations, including the National Catholic Federation of Family Parents and the Spanish Confederation of Associations of Parents of Pupils, with support from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Our campaigns: Parental education
Drink drive awareness campaign in the Canary Islands
In the Canary Islands, we've been working with The Brewers of Spain to send drivers a strong message: if you're planning to drive, drink a non-alcoholic beverage. Or take public transport.
In 2004, the European Commission selected 'La Cerretera Te Pide Sin' ('The Road Demands You Are Alcohol Free') to be part of the European Road Safety Charter.
The programme is sponsored by the Department for Transport and is supported by the National Confederation of Driving Schools, the Spanish Association of Operators of Petroleum Products, the Royal Automobile Club of Spain, the European Automobile Commission and others.

Example sentences
 - The lions known in parts of Europe and around the Mediterranean in early times were not African but Asiatic lions, rare animals in the 21st century. The name lion came into English from French, and ultimately from Greek leōn. The Anglo-Saxons had used the Latin form Leo, which was overtaken by lion for the animal, but which is still the name of a constellation and sign of the zodiac.
 In ancient Rome lions and other wild beasts provided entertainment in the amphitheatres. Christians and other dissidents were left at their mercy in the arena, a practice behind our phrase to throw someone to the lions. After the terrible slaughter of British soldiers during the First World War, the phrase lions led by donkeys became popular as a way of encapsulating the idea that the men had been brave, but had been let down by their senior officers. It is not clear who first came up with the description, but the French troops defeated by the Prussians in 1871 were described as 'lions led by packasses'. From medieval times until the opening of London Zoo in the 19th century, the Tower of London contained a menagerie of unusual animals, among which were lions. Not surprisingly, they were a great attraction for visitors to the city, and the phrase to see the lions sprang up with the meaning 'to see the sights or attractions of a place'. From there a lion became a celebrity or noted person, a sense which gave us lionize, 'to treat as a celebrity', in the 1830s. See also beard

How to freeze cookies
How to freeze cookies
For all the cookie lovers out there who want to enjoy a batch of cookies over a longer period of time this information is vital. Which cookies can be frozen and to what details should you pay extra attention. This is vital to the preservation of the smell, taste and structure of the cookie. Today we will enlighten you on the topic of freezing cookies!
What kinds of cookies can be frozen?
The freezer can be your best friend, but also your worst if you decide to freeze the wrong kind of cookie. So, what are the wrong kind of cookies? What are their characteristics, types of ingredients, etc?
The first thing you have got to realize is the following; cookies that are decorated, with frosting, chocolate or (powdered) sugar, cannot be frozen. They are an absolute no-no. The same goes for some delicate cookies, for instance peppermint meringues or chocolate almond pizzelles.
Cookies that are not delicate or do not have any decoration yet can be frozen pretty much always! Some types of cookie do use some of their character in the freezer, but that's not an issue. This can be corrected really easily, just revitalize them with a short stint in the oven.
Freezing cookie doughs?
If you are considering freezing your cookie dough there are also a number of things to keep in mind. But no worries, most cookie doughs can be frozen really easily. The only doughs that cannot be frozen are the ones with a thin batter. They tend to lose quality in the freezer. Preserving thin batter doughs in the freezer can still be done though, just bake them first and freeze the cookies. This way you can freeze these cookies as well!
To sum things up, freezing batters is usually fine. Thin batters doughs cannot be frozen, just bake them first and freeze the cookies.
How to freeze your dough?
Cookie doughs can be frozen in a variety of ways, depending on the type of dough.
Drop Cookies dough can be frozen in one big lump or into smaller balls, we do recommend to freeze the drop cookie dough in smaller balls, this makes baking them off later much more easy.
Icebox cookie dough has to be frozen differently. It should be rolled into a log, wrapped in plastic or in wax paper and also sealed in a (zipped) bag.
How to freeze cookies
The freezing of cookies is not that hard. But still, to make sure they keep their shape, structure, taste and smell you need to follow a couple rules.
You have baked your cookie and you want to freeze them, here are the steps you follow to optimally preserve the cookie:
1. Let the cookies cool off
2. Place the cookie on a completely flat surface, like a sheet pan. Don't stack them on top of each other. Place the sheet pan in your freezer and let the cookies freeze. This step is all about maintaining the shape of the cookie. They are not frozen yet and might bend slightly. This is why they should not be stacked and should be placed on a flat surface.
3. The cookies are now still in shape and frozen, this means they can now be stored in the freezer in a different way. You can preserve the cookies in a flat-bottomed and airtight container, but do separate the layers of cookies with either parchment paper or waxed paper.
Using frozen cookies
Of course nobody likes to eat a cold and rock hard cookie. That is why you should, after taking the cookies out of the freezer, let them first come to room temperature. And do not be fooled by the outside of the cookie, it might feel as if the cookie is warm enough, but the inside might still be frozen solid. Also, thin cookies adapt to the temperature around them much, much faster than thicker cookies.
Once your cookies have warmed up and are de-frozen you can do as you like, decorate or serve them!
Tip: If your cookie has lost some of it's taste or structure after being frozen, you can refresh the cookies in the oven. 160 ºC for 5 to 10 minutes should do the trick!

The following text is for questions 5 to 7.
Beef rendang is one of the original cuisines of Minangkabau descent and Sumatra's culture.
It is served at special occasions to honor guests and during festive seasons. It is a delicious Indonesian dish prepared with a myriad of herbs and spices cooking for a few hours until all the liquids have been completely absorbed by the meat. Beef rendang is best eaten with steamed rice and condiments such as fried onions and chili pieces.
There are two types of beef rendang, i.e. dried and moist. According to Minangkabau (hence the name Minang rendang) tradition, their authentic beef rendang should be dry. Beef rendang is carefully stirred, simmered and cooked for three to four hours until the coconut milk has totally evaporated and the meat has absorbed the flavor of the herbs and spices. Dried rendang can be stored at room temperature for three to four weeks. It can even last up to six months if frozen.
Moist beef rendang is cooked for a much shorter time than dried beef rendang. The cooking process ends when the coconut milk becomes a thick gravy of the rendang. Moist rendang is more popular in neighboring countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and southern Thailand. One exception is rendang Tok found in the state of Perak, Malaysia, which is dry. Most rendang served in western countries is moist rendang.

Sprite vs Coke: What's the Difference?
Sprite vs Coke
Both Sprite and Coke are owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
Coke was created by a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia named Dr. John S. Pemberton and was first introduced in 1886. Businessman, Asa Candler, purchased the Coke recipe from Pemberton in 1888 and a few years later started The Coca-Cola Company. Coke is currently the best-selling soda in the world and has been so for many decades.
Sprite is a much younger brand of soda compared to Coke. It wasn't until 1959 that Sprite was first produced in West Germany as Clear Lemon Fanta. When the beverage was launched in the United States in 1961 it was manufactured under the name Sprite.
Coca-Cola (Coke) – Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavors, Caffeine.
Most people are aware that Sprite is a lemon-lime soda and Coke is a cola. Naturally, they have different ingredients based on the type of sodas they are. While the ingredients for both products are listed above, they are not specific with the complete formulas used by The Coca-Cola Company.
For example, one theory is that Coke's flavoring comes from coca leaf extract (stripped of cocaine), citric acid, caffeine, sugar, water, lime juice, vanilla, caramel, alcohol, orange oil, lemon oil, nutmeg oil, coriander, neroli and cinnamon [source]. Of course, Sprite is citrus based and is at least partly flavored by the citric acid ingredient. Like Coke, its true formula is an unknown.
Sprite is a caffeine-free beverage. However, if you look at the ingredients of Coke listed above, you will notice caffeine as an ingredient. The caffeine in Coke is low in comparison to coffee and many energy drinks. It has 34 milligrams in a 12 fluid ounce serving. As a reference, a brewed coffee has approximately 144 milligrams of caffeine and a Red Bull has 114 milligrams of caffeine per 12 fluid ounces.

Nutrition Facts
Let's take a look at the nutrition facts of Sprite vs Coke. Specifically, is one "healthier" than the other in regard to the nutrition data such as calories and sugar.
Both have 140 calories, and no fat or protein. Sprite has 20 milligrams more sodium, but one gram less sugar and carbs. Overall, most people won't opt for one soda over the other simple for better nutrition. The caffeine content (or lack thereof) is likely a bigger factor than the difference in nutrition between Sprite vs Coke.

Drone Image Fails to Upload Due to Large File Size
When trying to upload an aerial image taken with a drone, you may encounter the error shown in the following screenshot:
Reduce Image Resolution
Normally, this error message is shown if the size of the file you're trying to upload is too large for our system to use. Many drones take photographs in 4K or even 8K resolution, but if you are able to change this setting, saving the image at 1080p resolution will often reduce the file size enough to allow you to upload the photo, while still retaining more than enough image quality to sketch the roof accurately.
Crop Image to Reduce File Size
Another possible solution to this problem is to open the image file in an image editing software that allows you to crop photos, and crop out any unnecessary areas of the image, such as neighbors' houses or land that doesn't include outbuildings. By cropping the photo, you'll also be reducing the file size.

Helpful Tips For Refrigerating Banana Bread Batter
Despite what you might assume or may have read about refrigerating banana bread batter. We have found that you can still successfully store the batter overnight or longer in a refrigerator. There are just a few things you should know first.
So if you are planning on making the batter ahead of time, here is what you should know first.
It would be fine to store your banana bread batter in the fridge for up to 48 hours. The longer the batter is stored the more it will oxidize and turn a dark brown or grey color. This will not effect the flavor or texture but will turn the finished product a darker color.
Now that we know there isn't much to worry about when it comes to storing banana bread batter in the fridge.
We can go into slightly more detail to help you understand further. Then we will also share how exactly you need to go about storing your banana bread batter.
Can You Refrigerate Banana Bread Batter?
Banana bread belongs in the quick bread category and the batter is usually meant to be baked right after mixing. Meaning you don't have wait for any rising period.
This is also why banana bread recipes use simple batter mixtures instead of yeast based dough's.
When it comes to refrigerating batter vs dough, you don't have to worry as much about over rising. With other breads time plays a big role in how the bread turns out.
Banana bread batter isn't as delicate to time and temperature. So you can leave it sit for longer periods of time and the taste will not be affected.
Still if you do plan on storing your banana bread batter in a refrigerator overnight or longer. There is one thing to know about one of the ingredients used to make banana bread.
Can Banana Bread Batter Be Made Ahead of Time?
As mentioned you can make banana bread batter a day or two ahead before baking. Despite being aware of changes in the color of the final product.
You should as an extra precaution use a specific type of baking powder. Baking powder is a leavening agent used to help the bread rise and become lighter.
Baking powder begins to work as soon as it comes in to contact with liquid. Releasing carbon dioxide and creating bubbles that help leaven the batter.
In the case of banana bread batter, as soon as you combine the two main mixes, one being dry (the flour, salt and baking powder) the other wet (eggs, butter, sugar and bananas) the powder becomes activated.
Most folks are afraid that after the baking powder works. The effects are ruined by storing the batter in the fridge overnight. The situation is the batter returns to its normal condensed state.
Here is where the type of baking powder you use makes a difference. If you didn't already know there are actually 6 types of baking powder. But the most common is single and double-acting baking powder.
The popular brand is Rumford and they make both types of baking powder. You can pick up double-acting baking powder on Amazon here.
So what is the difference?
Single-acting baking powder works by being activated only by liquid. So single meaning one time activation.
Double-acting works by reacting with liquid at first and then another time by heat.
Really double acting is better to use for banana bread anyways, but you should especially use it for when you plan to store your batter in the fridge.
This way you get the first reaction of the baking powder, then you can count on the second activation when you actually begin to bake the bread.
Remember baking powder does expire and will not be as effective after sitting in the shelf for too long.
How Long Can You Store Banana Bread Batter?
Keeping banana bread batter in the fridge should be no longer than 3 days. After that you can expect the quality to degrade. As the ingredients will begin to partially separate.
Also the best bananas to use for banana bread are over-ripe. So there's only a small window before they break down further.
Make sure to store the batter in a sealed container or wrap the baking pan with plastic wrap. Keep it near the back of the refrigerator.
Coat the pan or container with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Can You Freeze Banana Bread Batter?
Freezing banana bread batter can be done but we don't recommend it. Only because it actually takes longer to thaw the dough after than it does to mix a new batch.
There are a few helpful tips for freezing batter. If you are going to make a couple loafs or more. Do not freeze these batters together, as they will be nearly impossible to break apart.
Instead freeze both of them separately in the baking pan. Then you can bag each one separately.
Also its best to keep them in a even shaped formation, that way they thaw out evenly. Remember to date the package to keep track of how long its been frozen.
You should thaw the batter out in the baking pan you intend to use. This way if the batter rises slightly if will keep its shape.
How Long Can You Freeze Banana Bread Batter?
You don't want to keep frozen batter for longer that three months. As any bread dough the freezing and thawing makes the rising take longer. Which begins to affect how the bread tastes.
Always thaw out your dough or batter in the refrigerator. As you don't want any part to become warm or room temperature first.
Banana bread batter will take about just as long to thaw as bread dough. About 12 hours in the refrigerator should be enough time.

Ideally, a segmented scan of the patient from before the bracket treatment is used to replace the removed bracket geometry with the exact surface of the actual teeth of the patient.
First Steps
 1. Segment both the current scan with brackets as well as the initial malocclusion scan
 2. Open Bracket Erase module with the current scan
 3. Load the malocclusion scan as a reference scan
 4. Use automatic or manual bracket selection to define the geometry that should be replaced

Work rate × Time to finish the job = 1 job done
Work rate = (1 job done) / (Time to finish the job)
Time of doing the job = (1 job done) / (Work rate)
Albert can finish a job in A days
Bryan can finish the same job in B days
Carlo can undo the job in C days
1/A = rate of Albert
1/B = rate of Bryan
1/C = rate of Carlo
Albert and Bryan work together until the job is done: (1/A + 1/B)t = 1
Albert is doing the job while Carlo is undoing it until the job is done: (1/A - 1/C)t = 1
Lejon can finish a job in 6 hours while Romel can do the same job in 3 hours. Working together, how many hours can they finish the job?
Case 2: Workers has equal rates
Work load = no. of workers × time to finish the job
Work done = no. of workers × time of doing the job
To finish the job
Work done = Work load
If a job can be done by 10 workers in 5 hours, the work load is 10(5) = 50 man-hours. If 4 workers is doing the job for 6 hours, the work done is 4(6) = 24 man-hours. A remaining of 50 - 24 = 26 man-hours of work still needs to be done.
Eleven men could finish the job in 15 days. Five men started the job and four men were added at the beginning of the sixth day. How many days will it take them to finish the job?


text: The synthesis and characterization of mullite composite nanocrystaline from high-silica kaolin sampled from Tianyang County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is presented in this paper. Rough kaolin is firstly grounded and processed to remove impurities, iron and carbon before burned to produce composite oxides with mullite as major components. The composite oxides are further synthesized into composite mullite nanocrystaline by using hydrothermal crystallization process under low temperature and normal pressure. Tests on the composite nanocrystalline by TEM, TG-TDA, and X-ray diffraction methods show that the nanocrystalline range in size from 40 to 100 nm and are well textured. They also show significantly enhanced thermal stability at temperature as high as 1000oC.

Did You Know?
The word blandish has been a part of the English language since at least the 14th century with virtually no change in its meaning. It ultimately derives from blandus, a Latin word meaning "mild" or "flattering." One of the earliest known uses of blandish can be found in the sacred writings of Richard Rolle de Hampole, an English hermit and mystic, who cautioned against "the dragon that blandishes with the head and smites with the tail." Although blandish might not exactly be suggestive of dullness, it was the "mild" sense of blandus that gave us our adjective bland, which has a lesser-known sense meaning "smooth and soothing in manner or quality."
Origin and Etymology of blandish
Middle English, from Anglo-French blandiss-, stem of blandir, from Latin blandiri, from blandus mild, flattering
First Known Use: 14th century

Trade-Volatility Relationship in the light of Nigeria and the Euro Area.
Source: JAES
In this study, the impact of exchange rate volatility on Nigerian exports to Eurozone countries is investigated. Monthly export data from January 1999 to December 2016 was used. This study utilizes the bounds test approach to cointegration to analyze how exchange rate volatility exerts influence on Nigeria's export to the Euro Area. GARCH (1, 1) is employed to measure the volatility of the Naira/dollar exchange rate. In the considered model, Nigeria's export to the Euro Area is taken as the dependent variable, whilst the independent variables include income of the Euro Area, price and the volatility measure Given that the variables are a combination of I (1) upper bound and I (0),(lower bound the bounds test is used to test for cointegration. After confirming the existence of cointegration, the short-run and long-run coefficients are estimated. The shortrun result shows that price and volatility have negative and positive lagged effects on Nigeria's export, respectively. In the long run, coefficients of price and volatility are significantly positive. The income of the Euro Area has no significant impact on Nigeria's exports in both the short and long run. The study recommends that Government subsidies and a floating exchange rate system are implemented

Trustable Communication Between Mathematics Systems
Jacques Carette, William M. Farmer, Jérémie Wajs
This paper presents a rigorous, unified framework for facilitating communication between mathematics systems. A mathematics system is given one or more interfaces which offer deductive and computational services to other mathematics systems. To achieve communication between systems, a client interface is linked to a server interface by an asymmetric connection consisting of a pair of translations. Answers to requests are trustable in the sense that they are correct provided a small set of prescribed conditions are satisfied. The framework is robust with respect to interface extension and can process requests for abstract services, where the server interface is not fully specified.

Nuclear Waste and Caves
What are the benefits of storing nuclear waste in
subterranean salt mining caves?
The main advantage is that since the salt has been in its deposit for
millions of years, there could not have been groundwater flowing through the
deposit for at least that long. If there had been, it would have carried
the salt away. So, if nuclear waste is placed inside the salt bed, chances
are good that groundwater won't carry it anywhere else. The nuclear waste
will decay away to nonradioactive elements before it leaves the salt

How To Read Your Propane Gauge
One of the most important things to understand about your propane tank is that the fuel gauge shows you the fuel level as a percentage of the capacity of your tank, not the total amount of gallons in the tank.
While not all propane tanks have the same gauges, their purpose remains the same: to show you how much propane is left in the tank. Most gauges are "float gauges," (like the fuel gauge in a vehicle), which reads the level of liquid propane in the tank via a floating arm. As the level drops, so does the float gauge.
If you have a propane tank for home energy usage, then you've probably noticed that after a propane delivery, the tank gauge reads 80%.
Don't worry, you're not being scammed and there is nothing wrong with your tank or the gauge. Although you use propane in gas form, propane is stored as a liquid in your tank to allow it space to expand and contract as the ambient temperature rises and falls. The maximum fill percentage is always going to be 80%.
You can perform some simple math to determine how much gas is in your propane tank. Just multiply the tank's capacity by the reading on the tank gauge.
For example, if your 500-gallon tank is showing a gauge reading of 60%, that means you have 300 gallons of gas remaining in your tank (500 x 0.6).

Field Dressing Deer for Beginners: Best Practices
In this blog post, we will be discussing how to field dress a deer. Field dressing is an essential step in the process of harvesting game meat. If you don't field dress your deer, it can spoil and ruin your meat before you ever get it home or cooked! The best way to learn how to field dress a deer for beginners is by watching someone who knows what they are doing and asking questions when needed. All too often, people try to wing it on their own only to end up with a mess of blood all over themselves and no idea what they did wrong. In this blog post, I will give you everything that you need so that you can do things right the first time around!
Harvesting Game Meat
You may be wondering why you need to harvest game meat. Well, deer meat is not like beef or chicken. It needs to be harvested and appropriately dressed for it to taste good! Deer meat, in particular, can go wrong quickly, especially if you let it sit out for too long. The good news is that if you know how to field dress a deer correctly, you can have fresh meat on the table in as little as an hour! This is, of course, if you are close to your home.
The Process of Field Dressing a Deer
Field dressing is the process of removing all internal organs from an animal. Before you can do this, it is necessary to remove any entrails in or near the animal's abdominal cavity. The next step would be to skin out and quarter your deer carcass. Cutting off the legs just above where they meet with the body will make them easier to handle when transporting back home! Once field dressed, a deer should weigh around 100 pounds on average, which means that if you're hunting for meat alone, then one deer should provide enough food for your family as long as you plan by freezing (or storing) some cuts now so that there won't be anything left over after the field dressing is complete.
Tools Used
The tools used to field dress a deer include a knife, kitchen shears, a spoon, or a small bowl to collect the entrails and organs from inside the body cavity. Preparation for field dressing includes removing any unwanted parts of the deer, such as antlers or horns that could limit how close you can get to your animal. You may also want an extra set of hands nearby to help with this process if you're not alone in your hunt!
Step One In Field Dressing Your Deer
The first step to field dressing a deer is to make an initial incision in the hide that goes from just below the navel on one side of the deer's body up to, but not through, a similar point on the other side.
Step Two In Field Dressing Your Deer
The next step is then to make another cut across and around this opening to form a flap. This will allow you access to all parts of your animal for removing entrails without touching or contaminating any internal organs with external material like dirt or bacteria from outside sources. The goal is always cleanliness!
Parts to Discard
The parts of the deer that you want to leave in the field would be the head, the entire digestive tract (except for the heart and liver), all of the inedible muscle meat on legs and other extremities.
How long should Field dressing take?
Field dressing a deer needs to be done at a quick pace. This process should be completed in less than a few minutes. Any longer and you run the risk of creating an environment that is not safe for the meat.
How to Cook Deer Meat
There are many different methods for cooking deer meat. Some of the most common ways to cook deer meat include grilling, roasting, smoking, and frying.
Grilling Deer Meat
When grilling deer meat, you want to cook it for a few minutes on each side. An excellent tip for grilling deer meat is to marinate it before cooking the first time.
Roasting Deer Meat
The best way to cook a whole roast of deer meat is in an oven between 350°F and 425°F degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 mins per pound or until tender enough that a spoon can press into the flesh without any resistance. Another option you might have if you are cooking smaller pieces of venison, such as chops, steaks, etc., would be to use your stovetop grill pan over medium heat with olive oil spray coating the surface flipping every couple of minutes until the desired doneness has been achieved.
When roasting deer meat, remember not to overcook. This can cause the meat to become very rough and tough.
Secret Techniques to Grilling Deer Meat
A few tips that can help when cooking deer meat are not to overcook it, but also don't undercook it because the flavor will be lost in both instances. Understanding how much time you need to cook your venison will depend on factors such as what cut of meat, if there are any bone fragments inside and whether or not it's been previously frozen. Another trick I like using while grilling my roast venison is by turning off one burner on the stovetop to have a cooler section for searing and then finishing up with about ten minutes of roasting over high heat. This helps give my venison a nice crusty sear which adds more taste. You will want to experiment with your deer meat to find the sweet spot that allows for a great meal.
In Conclusion
Although it can be a little stomach-turning to field dress a deer for the first time, it is an absolute must to have safe meat to eat. You will want to clean the intestines and stomach of any fecal matter, remove all hair from inside then wash it out with water. Once the deer has been field dressed, you can start getting it back to your car or truck for transporting home, where you will either be able to cook right away or freeze it for later use.
Remember that cleanliness is key to all field dressing for any game you happen to catch out on the hunt. Stay safe and enjoy your hunting adventures and enjoy the ability to feed your family with many delicious meals.

NORFOLK (AP) -- The Navy has finished construction on the largest solar energy project in Virginia.
The Virginian-Pilot reports the 10-acre solar farm just outside of Naval Station Norfolk contains more than 8,600 panels.
Michelle Perry, project manager for Naval Facilities Engineering Command, says the panels can generate up to 2.1 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power about 200 homes. That's about 2 percent of the electricity required to run Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval base.
Although construction was completed in November, the photovoltaic panels are not yet connected to the electricity grid that feeds the base. Perry says that connection is expected by Christmas.

How to Remove Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from Google Analytics
November 14, 2019
In the face of increasing privacy regulations such as the GDPR, protecting the identity of your website's users has never been more important than it is today.
If you have Google Analytics set up on your site and believe there is a chance that PII data in the URL could be sent to Google, it is crucial for that information to be redacted. In addition to simply following best practices and the law, Google policy requires that marketers must restrict all PII from being passed to Google. The most common information includes email addresses, phone numbers, full names, usernames, passwords and zip codes.
This how-to post breaks down how marketers and data professionals can find and remove personally identifiable information from Google Analytics data.
How do you find PII data in your Google Analytics reports?
The simplest way to check for an email address is to navigate to "Behavior" > "Site Content" > "All Pages." Then add a filter using the ampersand signal @. This will show any pageviews that have common emails in them.
How to redact PII using Google Tag Manager
Follow the instructions below to learn how to use Google Tag Manager to redact PII from the URL before the data is sent to Google.
1. Create a custom JavaScript variable in GTM with the following code:
function() {
 return function(model) {
 // Add the PII patterns into this array as objects
 var piiRegex = [{
 name: 'EMAIL',
 regex: /[^\/][a-zA-Z0-9._-]+(@|%40)(?!yoursite\.com)[^\/]+[a-zA-Z0-9._-]/gi,
 group: '' },{
 name: 'SELF-EMAIL',
 regex: /[^\/][a-zA-Z0-9._-]+(@|%40)(?=yoursite\.com)[^\/]+[a-zA-Z0-9._-]/gi,
 group: '' },{
 name: 'TEL',
 regex: /((tel=)|(telephone=)|(phone=)|(mobile=)|(mob=))[\d\+\s][^&\/\?]+/gi,
 group: '$1' },{
 name: 'NAME',
 regex: /((firstname=)|(lastname=)|(surname=))[^&\/\?]+/gi,
 group: '$1' },{
 name: 'PASSWORD',
 regex: /((password=)|(passwd=)|(pass=))[^&\/\?]+/gi,
 group: '$1' },{
 name: 'ZIP',
 regex: /((postcode=)|(zipcode=)|(zip=))[^&\/\?]+/gi,
 group: '$1' }
 // Fetch reference to the original sendHitTask
 var originalSendTask = model.get('sendHitTask');
 var i, hitPayload, data, val;
 model.set('sendHitTask', function(sendModel) {
 hitPayload = model.get('hitPayload');
 // Let's convert the current querystring into a key,value object
 data = (hitPayload).replace(/(^\?)/,'').split("&").map(function(n){return n = n.split("="),this[n[0]] = n[1],this}.bind({}))[0];
 // We'll be looping thu all key and values now
 for(var key in data){
 // Let's have the value decoded before matching it against our array of regexes
 piiRegex.forEach(function(pii) {
 var val = decodeURIComponent(data[key]);
 // The value is matching?
 // Let's replace the key value based on the regex and let's reencode the value
 data[key] = encodeURIComponent(val.replace(pii.regex, + '[REDACTED'+ + ']'));
 // Going back to roots, convert our data object into a querystring again =)
 sendModel.set('hitPayload', Object.keys(data).map(function(key) { return (key) + '=' + (data[key]); }).join('&'), true);
 // Set the value
You can also get a copy of this code from Brian Clifton's blog article "Remove PII from Google Analytics." I made a few changes in the email and self-email regular expression so that the entire email address would be redacted instead of only the four characters before and after the @ symbol. You could also update the other regular expression to match the parameters you pass in your URL. For example, you may want to add the name parameter to the regex if your site uses the name parameter in your URL.
2. Update your Google Analytics setting to add a custom task to call the new variable you created from the previous step.
Once you have the GTM setting and variable in place, you can set up a "Site Content" report in Google Analytics to check on any URLs that contain redacted PII data by adding a page filter that matches the word "REDACTED." You can check the "Site Content" report to see if you are passing any PII data in your URLs and take action on your site to remove that data from the source.

How to run downhill (safely...and fast)
running downhill
Running downhill should feel relaxed and flowing (Image credit: Getty Images)
We have all seen the top runners seemingly plummet effortlessly from the top of a mountain or hill to the base in no time at all. But how do they achieve such speed and look so relaxed?
When most people try to run downhill it feel slows, laborious, painful, and fraught with danger of tripping or slipping. But if you take part in races with hills and mountains, or you simply want to become more efficient when out for a long off-road run, learning to run fast downhill will be a big benefit.
The easier you can run downhill, the less taxing you will find the overall outing. Here are our expert tips to help you to be able to run more efficiently and smoothly downhill.
How to run faster downhill
Running downhill is good for you
It might feel like downhill running is painful and bad for your knees (see: Trail running injuries), but if you do it properly it can have benefits. Running down a slope should activate and engage stabilising muscles in and around the knee, which in turn will help to strengthen them. Stronger knees means more powerful running.
As well as physical advantages, there is a huge sense of freedom and joy that comes with being able to run more easily downhill and at speed.
Lean forwards
Your natural instinct when running downhill is to lean back because you usually feel the need to slow down and put on a bit of a brake. However, leaning forwards is the best method for more efficient running downhill and it means you will not overly tire muscles.
Try to think hard about relaxing and learning forwards as you go. A good tip is to aim to align your shoulders in front of you with your knees and you run downhill.
Stride out
It can be tempting to shorten your stride when running downhill but longer strides are what the top athletes do. You will cover more ground more quickly and it's easier to lean forward when taking longer steps.
Legs should be bent and you should try to push yourself forwards, leading with your chest, with each step, rather than letting gravity alone pull you down the hill.
More technical and steeper slopes will require a shorter, more accurate step to avoid injury so keep the long strides for the gentler gradients. Also watch how the experts take side steps, too, to maintain momentum and balance.
Land on your midfoot
The best runners head downhill with almost flat feet. It's not a good idea to hit the ground with your forefoot or your heel. Hitting the middle of the fort gives the greatest balance and bounce and the best control.

More tips for running downhill on trails
Use your arms
To maintain balance and to aid the forward motion, use your arms like mini windmills by your side. The aim is to do small, rounded movements with your hands and arms.
Look ahead
It is tempting to look at your feet the whole time, but you should be looking ahead and at least 10 metres/30 feet in front of you. If you do this your brain will be able to more easily assess what is coming on the trail or the hillside.
If you look down close to your feet you will be more likely to slough and this is not good for downhill speed. Look up and ahead.
Empty your mind
It's fear and anxiety that will slow you down on descents. Trust your body's capabilities and your instincts and simply let your worries go.
The right footwear
Running downhlll, especially on tracks, trails and hill paths requires the right trail running footwear. For more on this, check out our best mud running shoes and best trail running shoes, and our guide on how to choose trail running shoes
With practice, the fine art of running downhill at speed should come to you.
