How university foundations try to avoid public scrutiny—and what reporters can do
By Jonathan W. Peters and Jackie Spinner, CJR
In 2012, College of DuPage President Robert Breuder paid $185 to taxidermize a cock pheasant. He gave the bird, mounted on an oak stand, to an upscale campus restaurant, where it serves as a decorative piece.
A year later, Breuder bought a black-powder rifle as a gift for the outgoing president of the college's foundation board. The rifle and its case, supplied by a Pennsylvania dealer, cost $610.
In 2014, Breuder spent $1,292 on a hunting excursion at an exclusive game reserve one hour from the college's Glen Ellyn, Ill., campus. He hosted three guests, and the tab covered their meals and wine, gun rental and ammunition, and hunting licenses.
Breuder expensed each bill to the College of DuPage Foundation, whose main mission is to raise funds for student scholarships at the college. The bills came to light because the Chicago Tribune in April requested, under the state public-records law, foundation and college documents related to Breuder's spending.
Initially, the college said it didn't have responsive records, and the foundation refused to release anything—so the Tribune filed a lawsuit to compel disclosure. Around the same time, Breuder went on administrative leave pending the outcome of several criminal investigations of his spending. Then, this month, with new leadership in place, the college released some records from Breuder's files, 500 pages in all.
As the Tribune reported:

The records show how Breuder used donor money to engage his passions for hunting, wine and fine dining. The documents also reinforce Breuder's reputation as a chief executive who lived well on the school's tab and often spent in a manner at odds with a community college's mission of providing an affordable education. … Records show … that Breuder only occasionally hosted potential donors. Instead, he spent the money on trustees, senior managers, foundation board members and vendors of the college.
The paper has been investigating the College of DuPage since January, and its series, as of this writing, includes roughly 60 stories with contributions from reporters Jodi S. Cohen, Stacy St. Clair, and Christy Gutowski. They have reported on everything from prosecutors' interest in the foundation to non-competitive contracts awarded to foundation board members.
"[The college] is supported by taxpayer money, and taxpayers have a right to know how that money is being spent," said Mark Jacob, the Tribune's associate managing editor for metro news. "It's our obligation as a news organization to try to keep track of how public money is being spent."
Jacob added that when the college released the records from Breuder's files, it didn't concede that it had done anything wrong, nor did the college concede that it was releasing the records because of the lawsuit. Indeed, the lawsuit is ongoing, with the college and foundation circling their wagons. (They are separate parties, represented by different counsel.)
The Tribune isn't satisfied by the seemingly stopgap disclosures and is insisting that the college and foundation release all other responsive documents. For its part, the foundation claims that as a nongovernmental nonprofit corporation, it's not subject to the state public-records law, and the college agrees.
In its answer to the Tribune's complaint, the college makes the expected arguments (e.g., the lawsuit is moot because the college has produced, or will, the responsive documents). But the answer goes further. It denies that the foundation is a public body or a subsidiary of one. It denies that the foundation is contracted with a public body to perform public functions on the college's behalf. And, thus, it denies that the foundation is subject to the public-records law.
Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the college, declined to comment.
The Tribune claims the college is using its foundation, housed on campus and staffed by college employees, "as an artifice to circumvent" the law: "The foundation is mostly or entirely under the control of [the college, which] has been using the existence of the foundation as an excuse or a subterfuge to shield its financial records and expenditures from public view," according to the complaint.
At least one other Chicago news organization shares those concerns. The Daily Herald, which covers the suburbs, has reported on the DuPage controversy and to some extent backstopped the Tribune's reporting by requesting from the college copies of, and responses to, every Tribune inquiry.
"The college's FOIA officer was under siege once the Tribune stories began," said Jake Griffin, the Daily Herald's assistant managing editor for watchdog reporting. "We were almost automatically receiving extension requests [and then] … waiting 10 days for the college to respond to a request that [it] literally had already responded to."
Griffin added, "What good does it serve to keep the activities of the foundation free of public scrutiny and oversight, especially considering [that it's] using the auspices of the college as the means for generating funding?"
'Public bodies cloaked in a thin private veneer'
The DuPage case isn't unique—it's characteristic of efforts nationwide to define, defend, and challenge the legal status of foundations and other entities affiliated with public colleges and universities. At the University of Kansas, for example, the director of the Center for Applied Economics claimed in June that he was not a public employee subject to the state public-records law, because money used to pay him is funneled through the school's private foundation. And in Connecticut, lawmakers are preparing a bill to require the secretive UConn Foundation to be more transparent. The foundation drew criticism last year for spending more than $250,000 on a Hillary Clinton lecture and for agreeing to pay $300,000 toward an increase in the university president's compensation.
Foundations come in all shapes and sizes, but mostly they're private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporations dedicated to serving one school or one public system. They've become critical cogs in the academic wheel as state support for higher education has waned. And they're performing essential tasks once performed only or chiefly by universities themselves, such as raising funds for scholarships and for campus construction projects, even managing institutional investment portfolios. Theirs, then, are public functions: Without the foundation, the university would have to use public resources to perform the functions itself.
Their significant responsibilities (and occasional bad behavior) have put foundations in the public eye. They're typically supported by donations rather than taxpayer money, but, as one advocacy group put it, they "live and breathe through the university umblical cord" as "public bodies cloaked in a thin private veneer." With that in mind, should a public university's private foundation be subject to a state public-records law?
The answer is yes, it should be.
"Most foundations, given what, who and how much they fund at state universities, already amount to quasi-government agencies," said Clay Calvert, a First Amendment scholar at the University of Florida. "It's only a legal fiction to suggest they are not full government agencies."
But numerous states have embraced that fiction. According to a 2015 study by Alexa Capeloto, an assistant professor of journalism at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, state statutes and case law have set out inconsistent standards to determine what records and types of organizations are subject to sunshine laws.
At least 20 states have tried to classify public-university foundations through legislation or case law, and in at least 11 of them, the classification favors the finding that foundations are the alter ego of their universities and subject to public-records laws. In the other nine states, foundations are exempt from such laws or generally protected from them by courts. Elsewhere, the question remains unresolved, according to Capeloto's study.
Consider state statutes. Lawmakers have been most active in states, such as Connecticut, where a foundation controversy has made headlines. California Gov. Jerry Brown, for example, signed a bill in 2011 extending the state public-records law to university-affiliated foundations in the two state systems—after it came out that the CSU Stanislaus Foundation had hosted a $500-per-plate black-tie gala honoring former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Notably, only seven other states have passed a law providing clear guidance on whether a public university's private foundation is subject to its state public-records law, according to Capeloto's study. And four of those states classify foundations as nonpublic bodies.
Now, consider case law. Courts have used three main criteria to guide their decisions: funding, function, and creation/control. Courts that focus on funding have said a foundation is public if it accepts university or taxpayer money. Courts that focus on function have said a foundation is public if it operates as an alter ego of its university. Courts that focus on creation/control have said a foundation is public if the university created and controls it. And, more narrowly, whether a disclosure law applies to a foundation depends on the law's precise definition of a covered body.
Clarify and scrutinize
To be sure, foundations aren't without their benefits. They're usually free from state regulations on property transactions that can slow down deals, for example, and free to invest in a variety of financial markets and accounts. And, to the extent they're immune to sunshine laws, foundations offer discretion, sometimes explicitly. The University of New Mexico Foundation states on its website that it offers donors "[g]reater assurance of … confidentiality, since [it] is a separate not-for-profit corporation and not subject to open records laws."
But students, taxpayers, and donors have a legitimate interest in monitoring foundation activity, with the media serving routinely as their eyes and ears. It's probably true that foundations make universities more nimble and flexible, but it's true at the expense of transparency and accountability. Those values are supposed to distinguish an organization that performs public functions. They're baked into our system of government and more important than nimbleness and flexibility—and, dare we say, donor privacy.
Universities and foundations have claimed often that revealing any identifying information about donors would chill fundraising. But, as Capeloto and other scholars have noted, that's unproven. Moreover, there's an arguable public interest in the openness of donor information.
"Whether donors are buying influence with public agencies is the information that the public needs the most," said Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center. "It's ironic that the institutions that claim they'll be unable to raise money if they can't protect their donors' privacy will engrave their donors' names in 10-foot-high letters into the facades of buildings."
Fundraising is central to a public university's operations and subsistence, and it makes little sense to allow one to offload its essential functions onto an artificially separate, private entity with the purpose or effect of evading accountability. Recent years have yielded too many scandals at foundations, brought to light by journalists who scoured their financial records.
In 2005, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution successfully sued the University System of Georgia Foundation to obtain its donor lists, which revealed that its affiliated colleges were awarding contracts to companies after they donated to a fund that supplemented the chancellor's salary. Two years earlier, an investigative audit at Florida Atlantic University revealed that its foundation had allocated $42,000 to buy a red Corvette for FAU's outgoing president.
Not every foundation is a bad actor, but that's not a precondition to public accountability in circumstances that call for it—and these do. "As state and taxpayer funding continues to dry up for public universities," Calvert said, "the foundations play ramped-up roles in helping to sustain the universities with which they are associated." Those roles deserve public scrutiny.
And the public deserves clarity in the law. Legislatures should decree that public-university foundations are subject to the same records laws as the universities they support. Courts should cut through any artifice and conclude that a university-affiliated foundation that exists for the purpose of serving the university and performing public functions is an arm of the state and accountable to its citizens.
Meanwhile, foundations should view those laws as a floor rather than a ceiling, making it a policy to release more than simply the minimum required by law. And journalists should push foundations to be transparent, and use all manner of documents to watchdog them, including annual reports and tax returns (generally, nonprofits are required to make them available, and they can be treasure troves).
Scrutiny and clarity are key. Otherwise, many foundations will continue to hide in plain sight by clinging to a legal fiction.
"If an organization is staffed by public employees, spends the public's money, or acts on behalf of the government, then the public has a right to know what is going on," said Adam Marshall, a legal fellow at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. "This is especially true at public universities, which are specially charged with increasing the knowledge and general welfare of our states.
This post has been updated to include the names of the Chicago Tribune reporters involved in the DuPage series.

The Rise and Fall of Facts

Will no one ever take on the Green Blob?
Gosh it hurts when your little corner of paradise is destroyed by a few idiots' ignorance and greed. This is what has just happened to one of Britain's best-kept secrets, the magically beautiful and remarkably untouristed stretch of the Wye Valley round and about Builth Wells.
Every summer we used to take a holiday let there, jumping into our favourite swim-hole in the Wye, playing Cocky-Olly in the bracken, exploring Llewellyn's Cave, watching the last of the sun bathe the uplands from the shade of the boules terrain outside the house where we'd enjoy our well-earned fags and evening gin and tonic. But I don't think I could bear go back there. The sight of what they're doing to it is just too painful.
By 'they' I don't mean the locals, most of whom have fought long and expensively to stop the nightmare happening. I mean the handful of vulture capitalists and dodgy politicians — mostly outsiders with no understanding of what makes the area special — who've forced through an application for an industrial development of seven 110 metre-high wind turbines at Hendy near Hundred House. It will blight the unspoilt landscape for miles around, to the benefit of absolutely no one save the usual kind of rent-seeking spivs who grow rich and fat on this disgusting, taxpayer-subsidised Potemkin industry.
Ultimately, though, it's not the wind parasites I blame for this, any more than I'd blame cockroaches attracted to a lump of carelessly discarded rotten meat. No: the people above all responsible for the slow ruination of our countryside are the MPs who ten years ago voted through the most Expensive Virtue Signal in history — the 2008 Climate Change Act.
Only five MPs voted against the CCA — among them, Ann Widdecombe and the sainted Peter (now Lord) Lilley — and they have since been more than vindicated. British industry now has the highest energy costs anywhere in Europe; the UK taxpayer is committed to squandering billions each year on decarbonisation schemes that might have been dreamt up by Swift's Grand Academy of Lagado; and, maybe worst of all, a veritable bestiary of chancers, second-raters, halfwits, eco-fascist ideologues and control freaks have been given carte blanche to ruin Britain in the name of saving the world.
The Hendy wind farm is typical of this. After various applications by the developer it was finally turned down by the Planning Inspector. Sensibly (and unusually) he ruled that the landscape's 'distinctive character' and topography provide a 'relatively intimate environment which makes it particularly susceptible to impact from development of the scale proposed'. But a minister from the Welsh government, one Lesley Griffiths, overruled him. 'The benefits of the proposal in terms of delivering renewable energy… blah blah blah,' she droned.
Now many millions of learned words have been written laboriously detailing why renewable energy isn't the magic bullet the greenies claim it is: the slicing and dicing of all that avian fauna; infrasound; shadow flicker; the intermittency; the need for fossil fuel power on standby; the unfortunates it drives into fuel poverty. But I doubt that Welsh minister has read a single one of them — and why should she: does she not have it from no less an authority than the 2008 Climate Change Act — approved almost unanimously by both Gordon Brown's Labour government and Cameron's Conservative opposition — that the need to cut Britain's carbon dioxide emissions overrides all other concerns?
This is perhaps the worst of the many terrible things about the Climate Change Act: it is a charter for the stupid, the bossy and the mad to do damage that common sense and decency and due process would normally have prevented them from doing. Some people can't afford to heat their homes in winter; some have had their tranquillity and their property nest egg trashed by renewable developments; some are struggling with higher business costs because of green levies; and pretty much all of us are aghast at the waste of schemes like the £216 million anaerobic digester scam, or Northern Ireland's £1 billion Renewable Heat Incentive disaster, or Wales's £18 million tidal energy flop.
Usually these would be lunacies that civic–minded politicians could seize on as perfect examples of the sort of nonsense to which they intend to put an immediate stop. But few if any MPs are in a position to do so, because they're all up to the neck in the kind of green virtue-signalling which enabled all these loony projects in the first place.
It would be lovely to console ourselves that this is a Labour/Lib-Dem/Green problem. But no. The Conservatives have got it just as bad. And not just ideologically suspect ones like closet Lib Dem Greg Clark. Even ones with a reputation for reading the small print, understanding a bit of economics and being quite clever, like Michael Gove.
Anyone who'd hoped, as I did, that Gove would bravely take on the Green Blob in much the same way he faced up to the lefty Education Blob will have felt grievously let down by his speech earlier this week at the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. From accelerating sea levels and melting ice sheets, from 'more acidic seas' to threatened coral atolls, it reads like a moron's compendium of all the half-baked alarmist clichés you'd fully expect to read in the Guardian's environment pages. But in a speech by a Tory MP known for doing his due diligence and for being sympathetic towards smaller government? Really?
The Climate Change Act — and all the junk-science hysteria which fuelled it — ought to be a barn-door-sized target for a Tory party preparing to make the case for a more prosperous, sensible post-Brexit future. But no one, anywhere in the party, seems much interested in challenging the green ideology which has created so much harmful policy. It's about time someone did.

Le Cinéma du dimanche soir est une ancienne émission de télévision de prime-time hebdomadaire diffusant un film « grand public » en première partie de soirée, du  au  sur TF1.

Historique
Jusqu'en 1975, les trois chaînes de télévision française ont une programmation complémentaire.
Après l'éclatement ORTF, la concurrence s'intensifie, entre les deux chaînes principale TF1 et Antenne 2, dont les missions sont identiques.

TF1 diffuse chaque dimanche soir à 20h30 à partir de décembre 1977, un film "grand public" sous le titre chapeau Le Cinéma du Dimanche Soir.
Inspiré par le format américain NBC Saturday Night at the Movies diffusé depuis le  sur NBC

Le film du dimanche soir est accueilli favorablement par le public et complémente le film du mardi diffusé depuis 1967, dans Les Dossiers de l'Ecran sur la deuxième chaîne. Cependant, la baisse de fréquentation des salles de cinémas due à la concurrence de la télévision se poursuit durant les années 70.

Dans les années 80, le jeu d'aventure La Chasse aux Trésors diffusé de 1981 à 1984 sur Antenne 2 est l'une des rares émissions susceptible de concurrencer le film du dimanche soir. La deuxième chaîne tentera également de programmer sur le même créneau Les Enquêtes du commissaire Maigret à la fin de la décennie ; avec un résultat mitigé.

A partir du , l'émission Sport dimanche soir est programmée à la suite du film de TF1.

Selon un rapport d'information du Sénat, les recettes publicitaires des films diffusés à la télévision (quasi négligeables jusqu'au début des années 1980) ont progressé à un rythme rapide entre 1982-1991, plus 30 % par an, en moyenne.  En l'occurence, et dans une logique de marché, le magazine Sport dimanche soir est supprimé le  laissant place à une soirée composée de deux films avec Ciné Dimanche.  En première partie, un film récent, en seconde un film classique destiné aux cinéphiles avertis.

Contexte réglementaire

Interdiction de diffuser des films de cinéma à certaines périodes de la semaine
En réponse à cette évolution du marché, à la suite de la loi n° 74-696 du 7 août 1974 qui procède au démantèlement de l'ORTF, le cahier des charges imposés aux sociétés de télévision par le Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel (CSA) comporte l'interdiction de diffusion des œuvres cinématographiques le vendredi soir avant 22h30, le samedi en entier et une interdiction partielle le dimanche avant 20h30. Tenant compte de ces contraintes, et par procédé d'élimination, le dimanche soir (et mardi soir) s'impose dans la grille de programmation des sociétés de télévision comme créneau envisageable pour la diffusion de films de cinéma.

Proposition de fixation du prix d'achat des films programmés en semaine et le dimanche soir
En 1977, malgré une demande des professionnels du cinéma au moment de l'élaboration du cahier des charges que le prix d'achat minimum soit fixé à 250 000 francs (151 949 Euros, ajustée pour le taux d'inflation de l'Insee) hors taxes pour les films programmés en semaine, et à 500 000 francs (303 898 Euros) hors taxes pour les films programmés le dimanche soir, cette mesure ne sera pas suivie.

Générique

1977-1989
 Le générique image a été créé à l'aide d'une machine Scanimate par la société américaine Robert Abel & Associates (RA&A), spécialiste de synthèse commerciale d'images réalistes animées, qui a réalisé pour TF1 différents habillages de la chaîne. Le cabinet publicitaire participe notamment au nouveau générique d'ouverture d'antenne de TF1 représentant le logo de la chaîne évoluant sur fond de ciel nuageux et inaugurée à la même période pour célébrer le passage complet à la couleur. Catherine Chaillet, créatrice du premier logo de TF1, en est la directrice artistique et Con Pederson, mieux connu pour sa contribution comme superviseur d'effets spéciaux du film 2001, l'Odyssée de l'espace, le réalisateur. L'animation de l'émission ressemble fortement au générique de The ABC Sunday Night Movie, réalisé par la même société avec, sur un plan visuel, l'utilisation d'images de synthèse. Le résultat, pour le téléspectateur, est un sentiment d'étoiles traversant la lucarne du petit écran affichant un décor géométrique polychrome scintillant, représentatif des films à l'affiche des anciens théâtres et salles de spectacle des années vingt. L'ornementation aspire à retrouver le strass et paillettes des années folles en invitant les téléspectateurs à prendre part a un grand événement social chaque dimanche.

 La musique aux accents disco est composée par Vladimir Cosma.

Programmation

Quotas de diffusion d'œuvres audiovisuelles
À la suite de la Loi n° 74-696 du 7 août 1974 relative à la radiodiffusion et à la télévision, en 1977, le cahier des charges, prévoit aussi un minimum de 60 % de films français, ou « d'initiative française » avec une majorité de part  française. L'article 27 de la loi du 30 septembre 1986, relative à la liberté de communication (Loi Léotard) ordonne de nouveaux quotas avec, pour les chaînes hertziennes, l'obligation de consacrer, dans le total du temps annuellement consacré à la diffusion et rediffusion d'œuvres audiovisuelles, au moins 60 % à la diffusion d'œuvres européennes et au moins 40 % à la diffusion d'œuvres d'expression originale française.  Le décret n°87-36 du 26 janvier 1987 pris pour l'application des articles 27-I et 70 augmente le quota de diffusion de films français à 50%. L'Historique de la réglementation concernant les quotas de diffusion télévisuelle française récapitule la série de lois et décrets.

(8) Note: La grille est incomplète.

Quoi qu'il en soit, cela se traduit concrètement pour TF1 dans sa grille de programmation. En conséquence, le dimanche soir, la comédie française et le film policier français règnent suivi de co-productions cinématographiques, principalement franco-italienne, de genre différents. Les films étrangers, de vieux westerns et films de guerre américains, suivent.

Coût de diffusion
Les films retenus par les chaînes sont souvent choisis pour leur faible prix de revient. A titre de comparaison et, en parenthèse, ajustée pour le taux d'inflation de l'Insee, en 1976, le prix d'achat moyen d'un film français était de 218 984 francs (145 524 Euros). Pour un film étranger, il fallait compter 166 385 francs (110 570 Euros). Certains, déjà largement amortis dans leur pays d'origine, sont même achetés a des prix défiant toute concurrence, soit 50 000 francs (33 337 Euros) par la chaîne faisant baisser significativement le prix des 30 secondes de publicité avant leur diffusion attractifs. Cette tendance se poursuit tout au long des années 80. En 1985, le prix moyen d'achat du droit de passage d'un film pour les trois chaînes est de l'ordre de 2 millions de francs (560 850 Euros). En 1988, le prix payé par les chaînes pour la diffusion des films de cinéma varie entre 200 000 (51 575 Euros) et 10 millions de francs (2 578 769 Euros).

Délai minimal de diffusion
A noter le principe d'un délai de diffusion minimal qui prévaut encore aujourd'hui: le premier passage à l'antenne d'un film de cinéma ne peut ainsi intervenir que dans un délai minimal de 36 mois après la délivrance du visa et de 24 mois dans le cas d'une coproduction.

Publicité
À partir de 1987, à la suite de la privatisation de la chaîne, les films sont désormais coupés par la publicité mais sans limitation de volume.

Audience

Années 80
Le film du dimanche soir devient un élément phare de la semaine pour TF1 avec une audience moyenne de 40% de 1980 à 1985 et, en 1988, un chiffre de 30%, selon l'Audimat, ce qui représente 5 820 000 foyers, soit entre 18 et 20 millions d'auditeurs. Une audience exceptionnelle s'associe aux films présentant un attrait particulier. En général, des films réunissant de grands acteurs de cinéma et des réalisateurs de renom. Au fil de la décennie, des pics sont atteints, avec, par exemple, en février 1983, 58% de part d'audience pour Max et les Ferrailleurs de Claude Sautet, en octobre 1984, la diffusion du film La Femme Flic du réalisateur Yves Boisset, réunissant 22,8 millions de téléspectateurs ou Tchao Pantin, le film de Claude Berri, retransmis en janvier 1987 et réusissant 47,7% de part d'audience.

Live music lovers, rejoice. The Caribbean summer festival season is here. When it comes to music, the Caribbean is a party heaven and summer is no different. Although the islands are known as some of the best vacation spots around, they all have another amazing offer—beautiful live summer music festivals.
The festivals are unique music-filled events that provide direct insights in to the local culture. And while we all love our laid back holiday on the beach, it's time to set sights on something a bit more energetic and exotic, the Caribbean's summer music scene. Here is a lineup of five of the best Caribbean music festivals for you to plan your summer beach vacation around.
A trip to the Caribbean islands of St. Kitts and Nevis in the last week of June offers the perfect opportunity for you to experience the St. Kitts Music Festival. Now in its twenty-second year, the festival is one of the Caribbean's most diverse. It features a variety of musical genres, including soca, R&B, hip-hop, reggae and contemporary music. The festival opens with a welcome reception and fete. The second night is soca fusion, the third night is reggae night, while the last night has in international flair. The event usually winds down with a beach party on the final day.
Every year, Jamaica's best artists descend to Montego Bay for the island's largest festival, Reggae Sumfest. The seven-night event offers something you can't find anywhere else, Jamaican music and culture in its purest form.
The week-long line up has something for everyone, including a beach party, street dance, the Blitz Party at The Hard Rock Cafe, lots of food and of course dancing. The last two all-night shows of the festival are the best, as reggae's and dance hall's greatest and dearest will perform all night long. After which, Sumfest closes with a morning tailgate party at the Dump Up Beach.
In case you are heading to Anguilla in late July, early August, Anguilla's Summer Festival starts on August Monday. The ten day, fun-packed festival is carnival in summer and the biggest event on the island. It is the ideal place to enjoy the best of Anguilla's culture, food, live calypso performances, jouvert, fireworks, community festivals, kids' parade, carnival road march and since it is Anguilla, traditional boat racing.
Held every year from the end of July to the first Tuesday in August, Antigua Carnival is one of the greatest summer festivals in the Caribbean. For ten days the island hosts thousands of revelers in a range of colorful beach bashes, beauty pageants, children's carnival parade, talent shows, spectacular parade of bands, massive street J'ouvert and cultural shows. You will love the fun, infectious party atmosphere, local concerts, fireworks, the good food and live music.
Crop Over Festival is one of the best carnivals in the Caribbean and an experience like no other. The six-week festival has been around since the 18th century and is Barbados' most popular cultural event. Crop Over runs from May to August and has great fun for everyone.
The festival features a host of festivities, including the Kiddies Kadooment, the carnival-like show Cohobblopot, tons of gastronomy events, and numerous chances for you to fete from dusk till dawn or chill on the beach. The highlight of the festival is the carnival parade, Grand Kadooment which features a parade of masquerade bands and revelers parting in the streets. Crop Over should be on your list of Caribbean things to experience.

TOC Dead for Raison d'Entreprise Your Turn
"He gave his life helping [the Libyan people] build a better country". Yet the very eulogy of US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stresses how the service of his own country is what led to his death in Benghazi. Is this but a tragic tale of two countries, correctly covered by Peter Baker, David D. Kirkpatrick and Suliman Ali Zway's article in the international section of their newspaper (*)?
This is the truth. It is not the whole truth. Christopher Stevens also died for Raison d'Entreprise, the cold calculations which mirror the Raison d'Etat in a world that Thanassis Cambanis qualifies as post-Westphalian (**). "Are corporations exerting too much influence on sovereign governments?", he asked two weeks ago. At least they are on par. Didn't the same newspaper section carry Claire Cain Miller's analysis of Google's role (***)?
The proximate cause of the riots which erupted in Benghazi and throughout the Muslim world is reported by Adam Nagourney to be a "14-minute YouTube clip" (****). What Michael Peel describes as "a crude piece of propaganda against the Prophet Mohammed" (*****) "did not violate [Google's] terms of service" however. And Claire Cain Miller to detail its external policy regarding the different countries in which it has services.
Let the experts apportion blame between those who love nothing so much as to pile up powder kegs or play with matches or pour oil on fires. Let them disentangle the exact circumstances of Mr Stevens's last hours on this earth. For these fillips however, his death holds further lessons.
Censorship is inescapable. Despite its idolatrous adoration of Freedom of Speech, even America practices censorship. But like corruption, censorship is more an issue of vocabulary than of principle. Censorship is what other powers do. What Americans do is to protect people's lives.
Although Google and the United States are independent world powers and act on their several interests, they share the same philosophy. Allow me therefore to quote YouTube's censorship policy, which it calls "community guidelines" (1). It forbids "hate speech", which it defines as "content which promotes hatred towards members of a protected group". Who would disagree? But a rose remains a rose by any other name.
Let the diplomats pick their way through the pitfalls of translation, especially English and the diversity of NewSpeak dialects.
Censorship is difficult. Again doesn't YouTube recognize one walks "a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech"? And when I claim censorship ought to be driven by legal, transparent, objective rules with a common redress process, doesn't it oblige?
The devil naturally is in the details. There the Raison d'Entreprise finds the freedom it needs to justify what YouTube judges to be expedient. The above clip "was against the Muslim religion but not Muslim people". I hear the logic of reason, I smell the hypocrisy of power.
What if Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted videos belittling the right of Israel to exist? YouTube answers "it is generally OK to criticize a nation". With one weasel word, "generally", YouTube transforms its "hate speech" rule into an opaque, arbitrary criterion which can be used to protect any state as long as it furthers Google's own external policy goals.
In fact YouTube could have censored the calamitous clip had its Raison d'Entreprise dictated it. Doesn't its policy forbid to post "things intended to shock or disgust". Apropos harassment, doesn't it state "it comes down to respect". When deemed appropriate, audience perception does matter.
Indeed the right to insult must admit a limit according to how the insult is received. As Kareem Fahim and Rachel Donadio quoted Pope Benedict XVI in Lebanon, "human liberty is always a shared liberty" (******). Sharing your views is not the same as shelling your targets with words that kill.
Censorship should be dynamic. For one thing, preemptively policing YouTube would require some 13,000 new hires to view "the sheer volume involved: 72 hours of video uploaded each minute". Yet what is feasible for a company with "more than 30,000 employees worldwide" (2) and annual profits approaching $10 billion (3) is not necessarily reasonable and making censorship a matter of money misses the real nature of the issue.
There can be no respect without listening. Extending people's protection from physical harm to emotional distress requires tracking user feedback before taking action and entails some delay. In the past I have defended Google when its executive were wrongly convicted in Italy for the mere posting by a third party of a video injurious to a defenseless person and later deleted. Such reactive censorship is not a flight from responsibility.
It is also the way to defeat the favorite argument for unfettered free speech. As an irritable skin cannot even bear the caresse of the lightest feather, allow the target a say about your insults and soon you will be silenced, your most innocent remark suspect of hidden irony if not blatant malevolence.
Yet why get worked up on a forgettable production drowned in what Gillian Tett calls the current "tsunami of pictures and videos" (*******)? Upload anything there and it "simply sit[s], buried, in a corner of cyber space". In contrast with Apple's oppressing controls, Google's reactive censorship creates a more open environment. True, were Prince William's wife to appear in Prince Harry's costume on YouTube, a single message should be enough for Google to promptly remove the offending post. But unheralded until a few days ago, the above clip bothered nobody.
Follow Ethan Zuckerman, who asks for "more tools to filter [media from Syria]" and works to promote "posts from people in poor countries [...] in an accessible form in the west". Flip the mirror and find our evil video went viral through this very scenario, with a "later dubb[ing] into Arabic" and a televised recommendation by "Sheikh Khalid Abdullah, an Egyptian cleric", as Michael Peel reported. Recommendations then and censorship are but the two opposite faces of the same filter, indispensible for anyone who wants to safely sample said tsunami.
Google can easily spot sudden rises in popularity on YouTube to activate a circuit breaker and snip any malicious micro-bubble in the bud. Doesn't Paypal freeze vendor access to accounts which appear abnormally successful? Reactive censorship can support both openness and prevention.
While Ethan Zuckerman echoes my constant theme about recommendation systems and personal recommenders, he complains "crucial groups such as Facebook refuse to release their raw data to academics" to study "how key words and issues spread". I doubt Facebook will give away the stolen source of its great expectations but I wish no research trial would try to enroll users, so easily identifiable, without their explicit consent.
Eprivacy carries little weight in front of the Raison d'Entreprise. But Google Non-State Department would do well to improve its censorship policy.

Lewis H. Redner was an organist from the United States who also worked in real-estate. On Christmas Eve 1868, he set the poem of Pastor Philip Brooks, O Little Town of Bethlehem, to music, using a Christmas hymn he had previously composed entitled St. Louis. While in the U.S. this melody is generally used for O Little Town of Bethlehem, in England, Forest Green, adapted by Ralph Vaughan Williams, is the more usual melody.
Lady Greensleeves is an English melody that needs no introduction. Dating from the 16th century, it is harmonized here with Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev's Sonata No. 1, finished in 1946. He described the scene as "the wind blowing between the tombstones," heightening the already nostalgic and melancholy nature of the English traditional song.
The great classic by the Austrian priests Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber, Stille Nacht was composed in Oberndorf, a small village located a few kilometres north of Salzburg. Here, Gruber's melody has a graceful accompaniment reminiscent of old music boxes.
Are You Going to Scarborough Fair? is taken from a traditional late-medieval English song popularized by Simon & Garfunkel in the 1960s. The piece explores different harmonies and textures, some of which recall a medieval aesthetic.
The rondo-like Trois jours avant Noël is a work written especially for this recording. The theme is built like a traditional song, with four-measure symmetrical antecedent and consequent phrases. A middle section in the Lydian mode leads to a third, calmer, theme that, with a long crescendo, takes us back again at last to the main theme.
A Catalan folk song dating from the 16th century, El noi de la mare is arranged here in two parts. The first is inspired by the version of Miguel Llobet (1878–1938) and made popular largely by guitarist Andrés Segovia. To accompany the harp, I imagined a birdsong-like countermelody on the violin. The second part uses the Dorian mode, giving it a decidedly American colour. El noi de la mare may be the last piece Segovia ever played; Llobet's version was on his music stand upon his death in 1987.
Composed in December 1908, Nuit de Noël is chock full of carillon-imitating effects. In the middle is a quote from O Sanctissima, a Catholic hymn to the Virgin Mary generally thought to come from Sicily and that has been set many times. Nuit de Noël stands out as one of Busoni's most detailed experiments, after his Sonatine No. 4 "in diem nativitatis Christi," which also evokes bells and which shares this central rustic pastorale. Nuit de Noël is dedicated to Frida Kindler (1879–1964), a talented pianist and one of Busoni's favourite students.
Veni, Veni Emmanuel comes from Gregorian plainchant dating as far back as the 8th century. Originally in French but later translated into Latin, its popularity grew with the English version by John Mason Neale in the middle of the 19th century. Revisited numerous times by both classical and popular composers and artists, this arrangement covers all the piece's periods, originally intended for Advent rather than Christmas.
A must in Quebec, Mon merle is a cumulative song, where our robin in turn loses its beak, wings, eyes, and so on. The harp part takes its origins in a vocal transcription by J. A. Thompson, over which the violin develops a long countermelody that makes references to Oscar Rieding, J. S. Bach, and Eugène Ysaÿe.
Entre le boeuf et l'âne gris is a traditional French song often attributed to Belgian composer François-Auguste Gevaert (1828–1908) but that actually dates from the 16th century. After the theme is introduced, it is played in a number of musical styles that take us on a trip through time: romantic, minimalist, medieval, and classical. The medieval version leads to a quote of "Tourdion," published by Pierre Attaignant around 1530, and it is then concealed in the "Lacrymosa" from the Requiem of W. A. Mozart.
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen is an English folksong from the 18th century whose melody is in the Aeolian mode. After a statement in unison, it is played in canon. The violin then weaves an accompaniment based on the interval of a fifth that makes up the first two notes of the melody, before launching into Noël nouvelet, a well-known traditional French carol from the 15th century.
Published in 1853, this melody was first improvised on the piano by Gounod then transcribed by Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann, his teacher and future father-in-law. The latter arranged it for violin or cello with a piano or harmonium accompaniment, and later gave the melody to the voice by adapting the Latin version of the text Ave Maria. So one could almost say that Charles Gounod never actually composed his Ave Maria!


An old-fashioned Civil War-era baseball game will pit the McHenry County "Independents" (an actual team of that era) against a team from Lake County in what could become an annual tradition.
The excitement will take place on Saturday, June 22, at 2 p.m. at Siems Memorial Park, off Highbridge Road, in Union.
Grayslake Heritage Center Executive Director Dave Oberg will umpire and emcee, explaining the rules and teaching the audience to cheer and jeer in proper 19th-century fashion.
A special display of Franklin Mint baseball parks will be featured from noon to 2 p.m. in the West Harmony School, located on the museum grounds and again from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 23.
The McHenry County Historical Society and Museum is located at 6422 Main Street, Union. Call (815) 923-2267 for additional information.

How to Take a Holistic Approach to Health
Author: Jessica Assaf
The Magazine: How to Take a Holistic Approach to Health
For many of us, taking care of our health may involve booking a doctor's appointment when we're not feeling 100%. However, these interactions narrow our approach and understanding of our health by limiting our outlook to just treating a specific symptom. The holistic approach to health considers physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing.
What does it mean to take a holistic approach to health? Here, we'll share some of the basic principles of a holistic approach to health and share some common techniques utilized by holistic practitioners.
Through a holistic health approach, the entire body and being is taken into consideration, not just a single system or body part experiencing issues. Your entire self — including mind, body, and spirit —are regarded as one interconnected fabric, and they work together to heal you and keep you healthy. As a result, holistic health is not limited to medications and procedures, but takes lifestyle changes into account as well.
Doctors who practice a holistic approach to health are called naturopathic doctors. They take both conventional and alternative medicine into account while developing a treatment plan. When you have a health concern, a holistic approach to health will take your entire lifestyle into account as well. Your diet, stress levels, exercise regimen, extracurricular activities, and even interpersonal relationships are considered right alongside medical history, bloodwork or diagnostic imaging.
The basic principles of a holistic approach to health
A holistic approach focuses on treating you when you are well. While you might be inclined to call your doctor when you feel incredibly exhausted or nagging back discomfort, the holistic approach aims to improve your health at every stage and state of your whole being.
It's important to know that the holistic approach to health is a two-way street. Your commitment to your well-being includes a commitment to certain lifestyle changes, such as changes to your diet, exercise routine, or nutritional supplements your naturopathic doctor may recommend.
Finally, a holistic approach to health believes in finding the root cause of a problem, not just alleviating its symptoms. Naturopathic doctors use conventional medicine and diagnostic tools such as bloodwork and imaging to uncover why you're feeling a certain way, as opposed to treating your symptoms.
Techniques for a holistic approach to health
1. Try deep breathing techniques. Stress management is a significant part of holistic health. It impacts every part of our well-being. Techniques such as deep breathing can help you slow down and relax when things around you get overwhelming. Lie down somewhere comfortable and take a long, deep breath. Inhale and exhale slowly and deliberately until you feel calm.
2. Check out yoga. Multiple studies, such as this 2005 study published in Medical Science Monitor, have found that yoga lowers the secretion of stress-causing cortisol. With stress impacting nearly every aspect of our lives, keeping it in check is vital for holistic wellness. This ancient practice has the added benefit of stretching and strengthening, too, keeping you limber and in shape.
3. Laugh a little -- or a lot. Laughter is the best medicine, as the famous adage goes. That's backed by science: the Mayo Clinic reports that laughter has several short-term and long-term benefits, including soothing tension and improving your mood. If you needed a reason to rewatch your favorite comedy, here it is.
4. Diversify your diet. Good health begins from the inside out. Holistic health practitioners place great emphasis on what's on your plate. A diet filled with foods which contain high levels of vitamins and minerals is key. Looking for ideas? Try our Superfood Smoothie recipe for breakfast or for a post-yoga boost.
5. Try Cannabidiol (CBD). This phytocannabinoid from hemp helps bring balance to your body and mind by supporting sleep, stress, immunity, and recovery*. You can incorporate CBD into your daily routine via a daily capsule. You can also uplift your self-care routine with CBD, like using a bath bomb with Epsom salt or a hydrating face oil.
Every day stress remedy for body & mind*
6. Connect with friends. Surrounding yourself with a group of loved ones gets more important as we age. Research published in 2017, which surveyed more than 271,000 adults, found that friendships were associated with overall better health and happiness. A good conversation with a friend can trigger bouts of laughter or help us get something off our chests, both of which are powerful stress-busters. And if distance or otherwise prevents you from meeting for coffee, pick up the phone or hop on a video call.
Shifting to a holistic approach to health
A holistic approach to health takes the well-being of your mind, body, and spirit into account. When something triggers a visit to the doctor, the holistic approach examines all factors which may have caused your issue, whether that's stress at work or an unhealthy diet.
Importantly, no wellness journey is complete without the advice of a doctor who you trust. Consider making an appointment with a physician who embraces holistic wellness or coordinates care with a holistic physician. This practitioner can help guide your journey to holistic wellness.

The USMMA does not require inspection of Marchadors for registration.
If the paperwork is up-to-date, the process is straight forward. If the paperwork is lacking, the ABCCMM process is quite onerous and costly with late fees.
The USMMA has worked with the ABCCMM to obtain a lower annual membership fee for Marchador owners. (Marchador breeders would still pay the higher fee of $540R per year. ) Once a member, the ABCCMM on-line Registration System provides the vehicle to submit all communications to them for report of breeding, birth etc. The ABCCMM will provide an inspector to visit the US twice a year, and the ABCCMM will pay for the transportation to the US.
Our first inspection in 2014 will be planned for May if enough horses and owners say they are ready for inspection. The second inspection will be planned for late September/October 2014 following the annual Marchador Clinic.
Attached is a report of Marchadors we believe are eligible for ABCCMM inspection. If there are more horses you want to bring to our attention, please let us know. In some cases, the paperwork may not have been submitted to the ABCCMM and that paperwork would need to be completed or fixed before the inspection is scheduled.
You do not need to become an ABCCMM member, but the paperwork fees are doubled for non-members. In some cases, the BREEDER may need to sponsor the inspection or sign off on paperwork, if the ABCCMM paperwork is still in their name. Either before or after inspection, the registration paper can be transferred to the new owner.
The cost of the inspection is $500 per day for the inspector, plus ABCCMM membership and registration fees, plus the cost of airfare to get the inspector to your farm. Housing, meals and transportation for the inspector should also be included in your planning. Most people just have the inspector stay with them. For some areas, like Florida, it would be possible to share the inspector for a day and split the fees.
We estimate an inspection could take an hour per horse and perhaps 15 minutes per foal. If there is time remaining, you can use the inspector to help you with your riding, Marchador gait training or questions, recommendations for breeding and more. You do not need to keep the inspector for a full-day either and perhaps the daily rate can be split with another participant.
The inspector will be Kate Barcelos, DVM, an accomplished rider, trainer, vet and ABCCMM inspector.
Please let Lynn Kelley ([email protected]) or Megan McClarney Fallwell ([email protected]) know of your interest in participating in the ABCCMM inspection. We will then send out a follow-up, more detailed schedule and instructions to the Marchador owners that wish to participate.

Inventory management best practices are often something that companies don't consider until a problem happens. Unfortunately, by then, you may have lost customers, and/or your employees become frustrated due to the resulting downturn in productivity. And, from just a day-to-day operations standpoint, an inventory management system can help eliminate major headaches. It's challenging for any company to figure out how to manage their inventory as they grow and add products to their lineup. An inventory management system can effectively bring all company stakeholders into the conversation, so that there are no gaps, guesswork and/or costly errors.
Kick the Excel spreadsheets to the curb. It's shocking but true: Some companies out there are still relying on manual inventory tracking and management systems – in other words, Excel spreadsheets. Inventory is a living, breathing entity. Manual systems simply can't keep track of all of the parts as they move. Nor does it allow for a 30,000-foot view of your company's inventory. Spreadsheets become outdated very quickly, and they're subject to human error and oversight. Finally, manual systems don't facilitate communication among all affected parties or allow you to make corrections or adjustments to your inventory quickly.
Keep it low. In general, companies should keep inventory levels low, which helps them avoid overstocking, and which adds significant costs to their respective bottom lines. An inventory management system can help organizations determine the right volume of inventory to keep on hand. It can also help them examine such factors as sales patterns and seasonal ebb and flow, and then make informed decisions about when it makes sense to replenish.
Automate. Imagine being able to track and view in seconds your inventory as it moves into or out of your warehouse. Automation allows you to scan items quickly and eliminate the hassle of manual inventory counts. In other words, you save time, money and frustration. Reordering, too, is made easy through automation. You can set up parameters to trigger reorders and avoid sell outs. In this day and age, a customer who has to wait will probably just take her business elsewhere, or even worse, share her negative experience with friends and family online. Inventory management means better customer service.
Never miss maintenance. Your equipment requires periodic maintenance to stay in good working order. But the daily demands of running a business all too often result in missed maintenance, which can cause premature breakdown or even necessitate a replacement. A good inventory management system will also allow you to track and manage the vital assets you depend on, helping you stay on top of maintenance schedules.

You're entitled to an unlimited number of users at no additional cost, enabling you to close the loop among everyone involved with your inventory processes.

It's powerful, completely customizable and flexible enough to adapt as your needs change. And you won't need any extensive training to use Asset Panda; it's intuitive with a streamlined user interface, so anyone can use it easily.


Social Medias can do wonders: it can make someone's life within few hours but at the same time take someone's life. Social Medias have now become a daily part of the youngsters' lifestyle; the first thing that almost everyone scrolls through every morning is social Medias. The craze for social media has been increasing every year. About 600,000 Facebook accounts are created everyday which pretty much sums up the current social media world we live in.
Social Media now-a-days have become more of a site where people try to show their lifestyle rather than sites which help in socializing with people around the globe. This generation has come to an era where people tend to click a picture of almost everything to have an active social media site, where cell phones are firstly raised before the spoons and forks no matter how hungry they are. Social Medias tend to affect a lot of life since they are almost everything we surf during our working hours.
The power of social media is indeed enormous. Social Medias are faster and have big reach. They are easier to access and also lets us connect beyond the borders. Even though internet and Social Media have vast advantages but it drags us to addiction and a lot of risks and threats.
Addiction is known as the state of mind where someone is very dependent on something and is devoted to that activity. A research has shown that online internet games and use of a lot of social media sites leads to release of a chemical known as Dopamine which leads to addiction. Addiction might not seem big of a deal to a lot of users but addiction leads to a lot of impacts which include failure, frustration, loss if time and neglecting basic need.
There are other risks and threats of internet and Social Medias which include sexting, cyber bullying, offline sexual abuse, sextortion, violence and online child sexual abuse and exploitation. Social Medias are not as good as we thought them to be. A lot of teenagers tends to suicide or are led to depression and anxiety due to this dark world that Social Sites have created.
Thanks to the cyber security training at Unlimited by Child Safe Net I got a chance to peek through the dark world of the Social Media. The training was very effective and taught me a lot of things that I never knew of. Mr. Anil Raghuvanshi Sir, gave us knowledge about every possible risks and on how to prevent them. I came across threats that I didn't even know about, one of them is cyber grooming.
Even though being an IT student, we were unaware of the legal provisions that are in our country that is why it is very necessary we spread the information and make sure each one of us is aware of the actions we can take when in situations like cyber abuse and other cybercrimes.
Firstly, it is very necessary to be cautious online because "we are our own warriors online". Friend requests from the strangers should not be accepted and in terms of any cyber bullying or abuse it is very necessary we talk to our elders or trusted person. We can easily report and block the person if they are bullying us in anyway. It is very necessary to be cautious online as "precaution is better than cure" and "never blame yourself for the cyber abuse". Sometimes we may get into the bait and get abused. So, what should you do if you are abused?
I. First things first, it is very necessary to be strong and brave and remember that you are not guilty.
II. Keeping a proof of the abuse is another necessary part.
III. Talking to parents, teachers or any trusted friend is very necessary.
IV. Contact a child helpline number (1098) if necessary.
"Youths are the building block of our nation", this phrase is true and applicable to no matter which ever the country is. Youths help the nation grow so if the youths are stronger, our nation itself becomes stronger. Youth is a program that helps in the gradual growth of the youths of our country. I believe if I indulge myself as a youth, I become successful because that will mean I will get a chance to stand up for my country.
As a kid, I used to be very shy and introvert and on top of that I had a mass addressing phobia. I used to be happy in the zone that I created and I never tried to step out of it. When I enrolled college, everything was different: the environment, friends. During those times, I had a friend who was never nervous to go on the stage and speak and I really envied her. Once I thought to myself that I cannot be in the comfort zone forever, there will be a time I need to step up and talk and by just envying I won't get anywhere. So I decided to join personality development classes, learnt few things on how to present and all but at the end of the day it was all upon me on how I dealt with my fear. I have tried a lot from that day and till today I have emceed a lot of programs. I think youth program will help me with actually stepping out of that fear, as it involves a lot of volunteering and mass addressing. If I get to completely step out from my fears that will be my first step to success itself.
Youth program also gives us the opportunity to make new friends and come out from the small circle of friends that we cannot even go to the washroom without. I believe youth program helps a person to step out of the box and get comfortable with the most uncomfortable situation itself which helps in the personal growth of a person. Youth program also helps a person to grow internally and helps them in decision making and problem solving methods. The youth program also helps a person to be independent and helps us in teaching us the time management which all in turns are very important features to be successful.
The word successful does not always have to mean someone with name and fame but a person who has achieved everything he/she has dreamt of is successful an I have always dreamt of helping my country through my studies someday. So, even if as a youth I cannot earn name and fame I still will be a successful person.

I know my PHP code is a little silly but I have coded it learning it from online tutorials. I have included an auto-increment 'ID'  column in the database but not set it as primary key. Any suggestions or solutions would be of great help.

A: You have the same name for all the select tag. Each name must be unique.
EDIT
As everyone has pointed out, you are prone to sql inyection attacks. Also sorry that my original answer was too short.
Focusing in the answer of the original question. You have the same value 5 times because you have the same name on all your select so php get the same value 5 times.

I often hear golf described as a non-athletic sport. To put things into perspective, consider that the head of a golf club can travel upwards of 100 miles per hour. That takes a lot of power! Amateur golfers achieve approximately 90% of their peak muscle activity when driving a golf ball. That's the same intensity as lifting a weight that can only be lifted up to four times before experiencing fatigue. Understanding the science behind our body and muscles can shed some light on how golf is comparable to some of the major contact sports!
Pilates is an amazing tool to improve your golf game. Even the most basic Pilates exercises can help develop all the key components mentioned above. Since bringing Pilates into my own practice, many of my clients have experienced large improvements in both their body awareness and golf score. Pilates has also helped my clients quickly relieve aches and pains.
I have also found myofascial stretching to be a great compliment to Pilates for increasing range of motion and overall health. ELDOA targets specific joints to help decompress as well as strengthen the body. The name of this tool is a French acronym that translates into English as Longitudinal Osteo-Articular Decoaptation Stretches (LOADS). Learn more about this practice in a blog post coming soon!
I challenge all golfers out there (yes, men too) to sign up for a FREE introductory class at Club Pilates to experience what Pilates can do for their body and golf score! Stay tuned as we dig deeper into the key components needed to improve your game while decreasing aches and pains. You won't want to miss out on a few simple exercises you can do anywhere!
