June 18, 2003: Are Travel Agents Obsolete?
Firstly, using a travel agent is probably the only way you can plan a trip without wasting your time! For those of you have made your own travel arrangements, whether on the telephone or on the web, you can attest to the fact that this is not a quick and efficient process, and it is often fraught with obstacles and frustrations. But use of your time is the least of the reasons why you should use a travel agent.
Before your travel purchases are made, your agent will want to know your preferences for seating, smoking or not, spending limits, frequent destinations, favorite leisure activities, and what you are looking for in this business or pleasure trip. The goals of your business trip may focus on economical use of time and money, choosing levels of service according to your expectations, as well as hotel accommodations convenient to your appointments at your destination. An agent will meet all of those needs with care. Too often web purchases do not focus on anything but the cost of travel services provided. If you save $50 per night on a hotel, but have to spend $60 per day in taxi fares , it is clear that there were no cost savings! Furthermore, we have no way of putting a price tag on what it cost you in time and stress to flag down taxis while dealing with weather conditions and fatigue that is part of "life on the road."
Too often, travelers arrive at a hotel front desk only to be told that what they think they have reserved isn't available. The savvy traveler with a strong travel agent makes one phone call, regardless of the day of the week or the time zone they are in, and the militia is called into action. This is not a battle that the road warrior, or the family on holiday, has to struggle with alone. . . unless they've bought the trip from an impersonal web site where this sale is considered completed and the traveler is just a booking number in a database. In a client/human travel agent relationship, there is a real person who can carry your silk scarf into battle to deal with pre- and post-travel concerns as well as being there while you are in the course of your travels to assist you in a myriad of ways.
Travel agents spend their professional lives keeping up on information regarding destinations, transportation, accommodations, great deals, and making the right match for each client's needs. And, yes, they use the internet too! Agents use the airline computer systems, the web, incoming email faxes, paper faxes, mailgrams, and hotline telephone systems to unearth everything you need so that you have the best trip every time. Additionally, there are companies who will ONLY sell to agents and, much as they appreciate your indirect business, they will not deal directly with the public. One of those companies is a huge air consolidator named Skylink, which has relationships with every major airline, domestic and international, for economy class service as well as many business and first class cabin flights. Clever agents use Skylink to provide outstanding savings to their clients while keeping them on their favorite carriers and allowing them to collect their frequent flyer mileage.
The internet plays a wonderful role in giving travelers instant information on what a destination holds in store for them, from weather conditions to attractions. When you know what you want, your agent can focus on the travel arrangements necessary to make your vision a reality, while advising you on identification documents you will need, insurance you should consider to protect you, your investment, and those you have waiting for you at home, and addressing every detail of your trip. When you're not sure about what you want, an agent can play a key role in giving you the information you need to make the decision. With opinions formed based on their own personal visits and the feedback from colleagues and clients who have traveled to places you are interested in, your agent is able to give you valuable impressions of hotels and destinations that go to the heart of the questions on your mind in a way that no brochure, no video clip, and no web page can.
And, most importantly, the travel agent is the only advocate the traveler has! Agents fight on behalf of their clients every day! Professional organizations of travel agents continually lobby on behalf of the traveler to protect your rights. If you book without a travel agent in the loop and you have a problem related to your travels, are you going to call a computer? Or maybe Ghostbusters? Neither will be able to help. Your travel agent will intercede as your personal advocate to help you get what you expect.
And here's a thought to ponder: If travel agents all disappeared tomorrow, every traveler would be in a little row boat with no oars, at the mercy of the winds and tides of the giant suppliers in the travel industry. Support your local travel agent. They are here to support you.

It can be rather challenging to create a very first resume. What is necessary to consist of? Just how do you display your talents without drawing attention to your apparent absence of real-world experience? Regrettably, there is not a proper, one-size-fits-all response. Nonetheless, in the case of recent university graduates, a functional layout may be the best strategy.
Resumes, like any kind of other written job, read left to right, top to bottom. It as a result complies with that your essential info needs to be at the top of the document. That is one of the major factors you lead with your name and get in touch with information. Make certain you have a professional e-mail address. Usually, high school as well as college students have a cutesy e-mail address, which might send the wrong message to possible companies.
After your contact info, your following part is the headline/ title. As soon as called a purpose, these are now far more succinct as well as to the point. A clear title, such as "Client Service Rep," is much better than a purpose like "To get a placement in which I can benefit the business while employing my handy nature to assist consumers." That second sentence is not only also verbose, it also includes pronouns, which are typically removed from resumes.
A resume is genuinely an advertising and marketing record, and your summary is the main means to market yourself. Think about this as your commercial for the product you are aiming to sell-yourself. A good way to obtain the content for this section is to address the inquiry, "Why would a person employ you?" Steer clear from soft abilities, like that you are a nice person as well as work well with others. Think, rather, about just how you can include value to a business. Consider your lately acquired level, particular courses you have actually taken, and also any volunteer experiences you have had. If you have been fortunate enough to work in your career field, certainly highlight that.
Your summary should additionally consist of a keywords section, usually titled "Core Competencies" or "Locations of Proficiency." Make certain that these words are suitable for the setting you are seeking. An excellent way to discover them is to look in the work publishing, which will claim something like, "Have to have experience in …" If those needed skills fit what you need to use, of course, add them to your resume.
If you have actually enrolled that sustain your candidateship for the position you want, note them below. Likewise consist of any kind of teaching fellowships, clubs, or volunteer experiences that fit. Many pupils will sign up with career-centric student clubs, and that experience is useful to show your future company. Naturally, if you received any type of academic acknowledgment, such as getting on the Dean's checklist or finishing with honors, include that as well.
On a practical resume, your next section will certainly highlight the skills you will bring to and show a future company. A wonderful way to develop this area is to pick three areas that relate to the placement you desire. So, if you are checking out Customer Service Representative, those areas might be client service, retail sales, as well as marketing-assuming you have experience in those locations.
Under each area here, think about what your belief is on that location. Exactly how would you sum up your strategy to customer care, as an example? Then you will start to consider your success. Knowing that practical formats make companies wonder what you may be attempting to hide, a good option is to link the success not only to the header however likewise to a specific placement or experience. Something like: "Increased return consumers 25% complying with application of monthly phone-calling project at JC Penney" will do the trick.
To determine your success, a common formula is AUTO: challenge, activity, result. Consider where you have made the business money, conserved loan, boosted customer care or employee relationships, or developed or boosted procedures and systems. If you received recognition for something like staff member of the month (result), just make sure to link it to why you got it (activity). Tyipcally, difficulties are not consisted of on the resume, however they are a wonderful launch point to consider exactly how you have actually made a distinction.
Do not get stuck on only including paid experiences as places where you obtained accomplishments. As a new graduate, you might have some fantastic teaching fellowships, volunteer experiences, or courses where you made a difference. Include those also!
Just list out the setting, business, location, as well as days you held the positions. You do not require to explain here because you will certainly have currently detailed your accomplishments and also abilities previously. As a hint, if you label the area "Experience," it gives you adaptability to consist of both paid as well as unpaid settings.
As you work on your brand-new resume, stay favorable as well as know that you can develop a winning file that will highlight your skills as well as the value you will certainly offer to a possible employer. It simply takes a little time and also believing outside package. Remember it is not an inquiry of whether or not you have the capacities; it is about just how you display them.


Iwai Shunji writes for the first time the screenplay for the drama series "Nazo no Tenkousei", starring Nakamura Aoi, Hongou Kanata and Sakurai Minami. Directing is Nagasawa Masahiko.
The original is a science fiction young adult novel by Mayumura Taku, which became a hot topic in the 1970s when it had a drama adaptation as part of NHK's "Shounen Drama Series". The story takes place in a high school where a ghost is seen, and soon after a transfer student arrives and strange incidents start to take place one after another. Iwai, who had watched the previous adaptation when he was in junior high school, commented "Just seeing the name Mayumura Taku brings me back to those times. To be able to work on this drama myself is really a bliss".
"Nazo no Tenkousei" started airing on January 10th.

So I had a hive die (langstroth) and there is some mold on the bottoms of the frame. Question is, can I scrape all the honey out of the frames and feed back to the bees or would it be better to just harvest the honey for my self? they hive it's self did not have any bad smells, and actually smelt just like all my other hives so I don't think there were any diseases, and I think varroa is what killed the hive. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Just wipe the mould off the surface - wash in cold water if necessary - and it will be fine.
If you want to be doubly sure, spray it with 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide.
Well I would rather give it to the girls, but if I run the wax under cold water and brush with a veggie brush would that be suffice?
If the comb is capped and mould is not too extensive, spray/wipe/wash the mould away with white vinegar and rinse off with water before cutting/mashing the comb to extract the honey to feed back to your girls.

The Super Bowl is traditionally a time and a place for major movie studios to plug the trailers of their most anticipated releases for the year ahead. Shockingly, Netflix decided to release the biggest 2018 movie people have been anticipating.
On Sunday night, for example, a new trailer for Mission Impossible: Fallout was released, while there was also a teaser trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, with the full-length version set to arrive on Monday.
Netflix, however, went and trumped everyone by not just releasing a trailer for The Cloverfield Paradox, but by dropping the movie in its entirety on the streaming service.
The third movie in the Cloverfield series, directed by Julius Onah, produced by JJ Abrams and starring Chris O'Dowd, its release had been repeatedly postponed until Sunday night, when the entire movie surfaced on Netflix just a couple of hours after the first trailer.
Skipping a cinematic release and unveiling it at a time when it's most likely to get the world's attention is a big coup for Netflix and as an exercise in flexing their Hollywood muscles, it was quite an impressive one.
As for the movie itself, it follows a group of international astronauts on a space station using experimental technology that has an unexpected result, leaving the team isolated and fighting for their survival.
It's available on Netflix right now. Watch the Trailer below:

The pleasure of being in good company
Waldemar Dąbrowski, the director of the Polish National Opera, on the Theatre's global presence and staging long-forgotten Polish operas.
How has this year's nomination to the International Opera Awards in the "opera company" category affected thinking about this season and those in the future?
Waldemar Dąbrowski, Director of the Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera: Being in the company of six shortlisted theatre companies from Europe and America is surely a realisation of one's dreams. Ten years ago this would have been beyond our imagination. It's a special moment on the path we took sometime in 2000, when we established contacts with other theatres, maybe not the biggest names but more well-known than ours back then. We matched their repertoire choices, then we started co-producing with others. That brought us closer to some distinguished directors, and enabled us to cut costs and strive for better artistic quality. We started to be recognised internationally, and finally became a sought-after and trustworthy partner. Today we have an impressive catalogue of joint projects with festivals in Salzburg, Aix-en-Provence, and Bregenz; with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Covent Garden in London, English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, and the La Monnaie in Brussels; with operas in Washington, Los Angeles, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, St. Petersburg, as well as Beijing, set to join this list any time soon.
But nothing is written in stone.
This requires constant work and playing by the rules of this world, taking decisions far in advance. I need to know what we'll be doing in two, three years' time but in the past the Teatr Wielki's repertoire was planned just three months ahead, at most. We're building our international position using different means, including by being the co-founders of ENOA (the European Network of Opera Academies), which led to Polish successes at the last Moniuszko Competition. Together with a dozen opera companies we launched an Opera Platform, which streams opera performances. It helped us place our Haunted Manor on the European circuit.
Was it received well?
It was a sensation. At a recent meeting in Brussels our partners from Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain managed to get the pronunciation of the Polish title Straszny dwór (Haunted Manor) correct. The opera was seen by over 100,000 people on the internet; it was received warmly by the Warsaw audience—as well, or maybe most of all. We're in talks to stage the Haunted Manor at other theatres. We've been approached by the Sydney Opera about it and also by the most important opera festival in Asia, held in Hong Kong; our production may tour around China; I am hoping for collaboration with the Lyric Opera in Chicago.
Your company has chosen Władysław Żeleński's Goplana, which premieres in autumn, for the next streaming broadcast. Both the opera and composer are completely unknown, also in Poland.
And that's a shame. It's one of our sins of neglect. That's not a random choice; it's part of a bigger plan which will have its finale in 2018, when we plan to pack the month of November with Polish operas on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of independence. We've picked out forgotten works with artistic potential that can be of interest not only to us, the Polish people. We don't want to stage hyped-up curiosities but discover beautiful Polish music that belongs to European culture, hence Goplana by Żeleński, Eros i Psyche by Różycki, later Manru by Paderewski. There's some risk involved in this venture, but I'd rather show Goplana than Traviata on a European streaming platform and I hope everybody understands why.
Will the Polish National Opera acquire new foreign partners in the next season?
Yes, indeed, for example the Komische Oper in Berlin, but in this case we decided to take a complete adaptation of the Magic Flute from them. We were charmed by the director Barrie Kosky's exceptional feat of producing an opera for both children and adults. Getting a licence from him hasn't been easy, we're having consultations on details, also the solo voices, but things are progressing well. The Turk in Italy will be co-produced with the Festival d'Aix en Provence, the Teatro Regio di Torino, and the Opéra de Dijon, while Die tote Stadt among others with the Gran Teatre del Liceu from Barcelona.
Can the National Opera become a regular partner of the New York Metropolitan Opera?
The co-production of Tristan and Isolde is a big project, and although it is most of all Mariusz Treliński and Boris Kudlička who must be given the credit for its success, it does bring our two companies closer. With our other partners, Baden-Baden and Beijing, I will tell you, this is the company we'd like to be in for the longest possible time. Tellingly, Peter Gelb, the director of the Metropolitan Opera, was delighted by the adaptation, and that matters as Tristan and Isolde won't be an ordinary New York premiere. First, it will be the season opener; second, Wagner's works always demand the most from artists and awaken the highest emotions and expectations among the audience.
Will there be other productions by the Teatr Wielki–Polish National Opera at the Metropolitan?
There's willingness on both sides, with specific proposals, and we're in touch.
And did the tremendous success of the Tempest by Krzysztof Pastor come as a surprise to you?
Absolutely not, because in my view this wasn't an ordinary ballet premiere. This adaptation of the Tempest may fit Wagner's concept of the total work of art: dance, image, word and music fuse to a unique effect, they affect the viewer in their totality.
To what extent does the Polish National Ballet work to promote the Teatr Wielki–Polish National Opera and to what extent does it function in its own right?
It does both. It's an integral part of the whole, at the same time building its own identity that it didn't have for a long time because the ballet team was lower in rank , so to speak. Krzysztof Pastor is pursuing his own long-term artistic agenda, which doesn't mean that he only presents his own choreography. He invites the world's top artists and at the same time gives young names a chance.
And isn't there any rivalry for the stage between the opera and ballet teams?
On the contrary: one team breathes energy into the other.

Helen Green v DB Group Services (UK) Ltd: QBD 1 Aug 2006
The claimant sought damages from her former employers, asserting that workplace bullying and harassment had caused injury to her health. She had had a long term history of depression after being abused as a child, and the evidence was conflicting, but she said that the renewed depression arose after many low level acts of exclusion by fellow employees.
Held: The claim succeeded. The claimant 'was subjected to a relentless campaign of mean and spiteful behaviour designed to cause her distress' and 'the connection between the nature of the employment of the women in question and the behaviour in issue was so close that it would be just and reasonable to hold the defendant liable for it. ' and 'Bullying can take many forms. As I have already observed, and as was acknowledged by the claimant, the incidents upon which she relies when viewed individually are not of major significance. It is their cumulative effect that is of importance. His behaviour to her was domineering, disrespectful, dismissive, confrontatory, and designed to undermine and belittle her in the view of others. I am satisfied that such a course of conduct pursued over a considerable period amounted to bullying within the ordinary meaning of the term. ' Accordingly the claimant stands to be compensated for two major episodes of depressive disorder followed by a period of four years in which she has not been well enough to return to work and in which her capacity to enjoy life to the full has been seriously disrupted in particular by the relapse in her condition in 2004. She is also entitled to be compensated for the degree to which her vulnerability to depressive disorder has been increased.

'Lizzie McGuire' Reboot Isn't Happening Right Now Thanks to Show Creator
Stefanie Parker
SheKnows January 10, 2020
This likely isn't the news Hilary Duff wanted to hear while on her honeymoon with new husband Matthew Koma. Lizzie McGuire creator Terri Minsky has officially stepped down from the role of showrunner for the Disney+ reboot of the Disney channel series resulting in an unexpected pause in production until a new showrunner signs on.
"Fans have a sentimental attachment to Lizzie McGuire and high expectations for a new series," a Disney spokesperson revealed. "After filming two episodes, we concluded that we need to move in a different creative direction and are putting a new lens on the show."

Disney+ Gives First Sneak Peek of the New Lizzie McGuire in 2020 Teaser Trailer
Earlier this month, fans were given a brief teaser of the upcoming revival series where Duff, who plays lead character Lizzie McGuire, is seen leaning into a car window. "Hi," she says, "It's me." Though there wasn't much to go off of with the teaser, it offered just enough to excite fans for what's to come.
The original sitcom ran from 2001 to 2004 and centered around 13-year-old Lizzie who navigates school life, friendships, and relationships. The revival, which has been expected to be released at an undisclosed date in 2020, picks back up with Lizzie turning 30 while navigating life as an adult in New York City.
Back in August 2019, the actress made the exciting announcement that her memorable and lovable character was returning to the small screen. "SURPRISE!!! I've been trying to contain this excitement for a loooong time while this has been in the works! I am beyond excited to be home again, back with my girl ♥…and into her 30's," she wrote alongside a video of the original show's theme song.
Up until this recent news, the mother-of-two has been proudly sharing regular updates from set which we're sad to see stop.

Purpose: Due to increasing prevalence of the COVID-19 virus, athletes were unable to train optimally. This study aimed to determine the differences in aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index in soccer players as the effect of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methodology: Fourteen male participants were recruited from the university soccer team. Anthropometric characteristics were as follows: age = 20.75 ± 1.48 years, height = 174.35 ± 5.59 cm, body mass = 68.95 ± 6.17 kg, and body mass index = 21.92 ± 0.94 kg/m2. Single-group pretest and posttest designs were selected to conduct this study. A multistage fitness test determined aerobic capacity. ANOVA test was used to identify aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index differences between pretest and posttest on university soccer players.
Results: The pretest and posttest were similar in anthropometric characteristics, and there were no significant differences in age (P = 0.382), height (P = 0.106), and body mass (P = 0.068). Our findings showed significant differences between pretest and posttest for aerobic capacity (P = 0.042) and body mass index (P = 0.037) in university soccer players.
Conclusion: We conclude that there was a significant effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the soccer player's aerobic capacity and body mass index. These findings may have implications, namely, as functional test's organization, administration, and outcomes while testing the players. Team coaches, trainers, and physiologists must consider the effects of lockdown on the players' performance while preparing players for competition. Further researchers should be established to modify other types of tests, conduct studies with a larger sample and population, and add other variables.

Ahsan M, Javed MS. Effect on aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index in university soccer players during the COVID-19 pandemic. Saudi J Sports Med [serial online] 2021 [cited 2022 Jan 21];21:102-6. Available from: https://www.sjosm.org/text.asp?2021/21/3/102/332395
Due to increasing prevalence of the COVID_19 pandemic, athletes were unable to train optimally. All the running activities stopped in various areas, including athletic activities as the effect of lockdown in the country. The lockdown has resulted in numerous modifications in routine, requiring high-performance athletes to seek out other techniques for staying fit and maintaining their training program by safely improvising both home space and training instruments.[1] Many athletes were not able to actively participate in their regular sports activities in their homes. Under such conditions, many tend to be less physically active and have an irregular sleep, longer screen time, and unbalanced diets, resulting in weight gain, increased body mass index, and deterioration in aerobic capacity.[2] The traditional off-season values were compared to the COVID-19 quarantine. They reported that the fat and body mass increased, but they decreased sprint and countermovement jump abilities in Brazilian professional soccer athletes.[3]
The examination of a sportsmen's physical and functional performance is a series of investigative tests carried out over some time. The rapid assessment method is one of the most valuable and appropriate methods from the practical application perspective, while the level of performance is determined by quantitative indicators.[4] There are many fitness tests available to measure aerobic fitness for many team sports.[5],[6] The most common field test to predict aerobic capacity is the 20-m multistage fitness test (MSFT). This test is being used by many teams, especially in English Premier League.[7] In this test, players run forward and backward in a movement resembling the pattern of soccer games. Aerobic capacity can predict the performance in a competitive match. Aerobic fitness evaluated by laboratory-based tests correlates highly (r = 0.78–0.87) with both MSFT and the YO-Yo intermittent recovery test.[8] The MSFT offers high accuracy and repeatability compared to the aerobic capacity measured directly under laboratory conduction.[9]
Many sports scientists and scholars have been focused on performance assessment. However, there is a lack of research investigation to determine the differences in the soccer players' aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect on aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index in university soccer players during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We hypothesized that the aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index had been affected among university soccer players during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using aerobic capacity independently or in tandem may assist coaches, physical therapists, sports medicine, strength, and conditioning professionals in identifying the performance barrier or injury risks during sports participation by identifying physical and functional deficiencies in movement.
This study used a quantitative approach; the pretest–posttest research design was used to conduct this study.
All the participants taken part in this study signed written consent form.
Fourteen male participants were recruited, who represented in the interuniversity competition at least two times. Anthropometric characteristics were as follows: age = 20.75 ± 1.48 years, height = 174.35 ± 5.59 cm, body mass = 68.95 ± 6.17 kg, and body mass index = 21.92 ± 0.94 kg/m2.
All the participants were healthy males. Participants participated at least two times in an interuniversity competition. They do not have any record of musculoskeletal injury since the last 6 months.
A weighing scale cum stadiometer was used to determine the height and body mass of participants. The body mass index was calculated by dividing the participants' weight in kilogram by height in meters. The aerobic capacity was measured using the MSFT. The MSFT to measure aerobic capacity in children, adolescents, and adults was developed in the early 1980s. The test was created to provide a practical and cost-effective prediction of aerobic capacity in a field setting. Research has indicated that the MSFT is a valid predictor of aerobic capacity.[9] To conduct the MSFT, standardized equipment such as 20-m shuttle run space, cones, metronome, and performance recording sheets were used.
The data collection process begins with explaining the test implementation and 15 min warming up, followed by stretching exercises. Data were collected two times, namely at the beginning of the study (pretest) after 3 weeks of the first lockdown and the end (posttest) after 3 weeks of lockdown open. Measurements (pretest and posttest) were carried out using a weighing scale cum stadiometer, metronome, 20-m open space, cones, and data score sheet. The MSFT was performed as participants were asked to run toward opposite 20-m sections in a shuttle format in response to an audible signal (beep) produced by a metronome (audio player). The speed was 8.5 km/h in the 1st min and increased by 0.5 km/h every minute after that. Before the next beep sounded, participants had to finish a level. Participants were expected to complete as many shuttles as possible. If a participant fails to maintain the prescribed pace for two consecutive shuttles or withdraws from the test due to exhaustion, the test will be terminated. The following formula was used given by Flouris et al. to calculate aerobic capacity.[10]
Aerobic capacity (mL/min/kg) = (maximum attained speed [km/h] × 6.65 − 35.8) × 0.95 + 0.182.
All the tests were conducted using standard procedures and instructions.[11],[12],[13]
All the statistical analysis were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software for Windows (IBM SPSS version 20.0, New York, NY, USA). Before analysis, the data were checked for outliers and normality with the Shapiro–Wilk test. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was performed to determine the differences in aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index for university soccer players. The P = 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.
[Table 1] shows descriptive statistics of pretest and posttest results and reveals increases in body mass (Diff. = 4.23, Per. = 5.95) and body mass index (Diff. = 0.74, Per. = 3.31) as the result of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Table 1: Descriptive statistics of pretest and posttest between body mass and body mass index for university soccer players
[Table 2] shows descriptive statistics of pretest and posttest results and reveals a decrease in aerobic capacity (Diff. = −7.53, Per. = 1.55) (ml/kg/min) as the result of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Table 2: Descriptive statistics of pretest and posttest aerobic capacity for university soccer players
[Table 3] shows the one-way ANOVA for pretest and posttest results and reveals an insignificant difference for body mass (F = 3.61, P = 0.068). In contrast, significant differences were found in body mass index (F = 4.84, P = 0.037) and aerobic capacity (F = 4.57, P = 0.042) for university soccer players as the result of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Table 3: Statistical comparison between pretest and posttest for body mass, body mass index, and aerobic capacity of university soccer players
The results showed that lockdown significantly impacted the aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index among soccer players during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were changes in aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index as 1.55%, 5.95%, and 3.31%, respectively, because of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic among university soccer players.
The result of the study was taken in June 2020 (pretest) and September 2020 (posttest) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of this study showed that there were statistically significant differences in aerobic capacity and body mass index. These findings are supported by the study results conducted in normal conditions by Sliwowski et al. They used the Multistage Shuttle Run Test to measure the aerobic capacity of junior male soccer players from Lech Pozna.[14] In their study, the authors demonstrated favorable adaptive changes in the studied physiological indicators, such as aerobic capacity and anaerobic threshold, between two dates of measurements – before the preparatory period and after the end of the preparatory period – in their study on two dates over 8 weeks of the preparatory period. Ali et al. reported a significant difference in aerobic capacity among athletes. Using modified Bruce protocol, they measure aerobic capacity in the laboratory setting with a graded exercise test performed on a treadmill.[13] According to one of the study findings, a group of semi-professional male football players had their hamstring muscle strength lowered after 25 days of house confinement due to the COVID-19 lockdown.[15] These results are not directly comparable because the muscles, training modality, and muscular contraction used in the study were all different. While drawing conclusions, keep in mind that the COVID19 situation was unique and cannot be easily compared to any other instance.
Rampinini et al. showed that changes in between and within periods were observed using a mixed model during the lockdown. Within-period changes in aerobic fitness showed a significant change (P < 0.001) after COVID-19 lockdown and a significant reduction (P < 0.001) during summer break. When comparing the COVID-19 closure to the 2019–2020 competitive season (P < 0.01) and the summer holiday (P < 0.001), there were significant differences between periods.[16] Earlier studies established scientific evidence that short-distance periods could negatively influence body composition, aerobic capacity, muscle power, and sprint ability in soccer players.[17],[18] Koundourakis et al. revealed that 6 weeks of detraining could significantly decrease aerobic capacity, muscle strength, and speed for professional soccer players.[19] García-Aliaga et al. analyzed physical match activity in Spanish LaLiga™ during two blocks of 11 matches (first 11 games of the season 2019/2020 and 11 games after the COVID-19 lockdown).[20] Distance, high-speed running, sprinting, and the quantity of high-intensity movements were all reported to have decreased significantly. Changes in physical fitness and body composition have been linked to decreased match performance.[21],[22] Grazioli et al. evaluated changes in neuromuscular, body composition, and cardiorespiratory indices in Brazilian professional soccer players after regular off-season intervals (24 days) and COVID-19 quarantine (63 days); these players' body mass and fat mass increased significantly.[3] Our findings match an earlier study that found that the COVID-19 quarantine period has a stronger negative impact on body composition than the off-season period.[3] Furthermore, the findings of Korkmaz et al. demonstrated that semi-professional soccer players experienced significant losses in anaerobic power and body muscle mass after 89 days of lockdown.[23]
As the COVID-19 epidemic may spread periodically and outbreaks may recur in large cities in the future, all this information will be useful not only for understanding the impact of COVID-19 on current soccer performance but also for anticipating and minimizing the impact of future disruptions to any sports competitions due to this pandemic. Furthermore, comparing the results of physical capacity and body composition tests conducted before and after the lockdown could yield intriguing results and address the question of whether decreased match performance was associated with a decline in physical fitness.
We conclude that there was a significant effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the soccer player's aerobic capacity, body mass, and body mass index. These findings may have implications, namely, functional test's organization, administration, and outcomes while testing the players. Team coaches, trainers, and physiologists must consider the effects of lockdown on the players' performance while preparing players for competition. Further researchers should be established to modify other types of tests, conduct studies with a larger sample and population, and add other variables.

Thomas Horrocks Openshaw  (17 March 1856 – 17 November 1929) was an English Victorian and Edwardian era surgeon perhaps best known for his brief involvement in the notorious Jack the Ripper murders of 1888.

Early life and medical career
'Tommy' Openshaw was born in Bury in Lancashire, England, and was educated at Bristol Grammar School. On leaving school he originally trained as an engineer, but then entered Durham University to study medicine. In 1877 he entered the London Hospital Medical College, where he was noted as a successful student and a good football player. In 1879 Openshaw won the Outpatient Dresser's Prize of £15, awarded to the best dresser of wounds in the Outpatients Department.

Having successfully completed his medical studies, Openshaw was awarded an MBBS (Durham) and, in 1883, was appointed a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Openshaw took the English Conjoint Diploma in 1884, and in 1886 became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Among Openshaw's other qualifications at that time were Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries and Master of Surgery (Durham).

Following his Fellowship, he was appointed Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy at the London Hospital Medical College in 1886, and, after his subsequent appointment as Curator of the Pathology Museum in 1887, he extended and catalogued the Museum's collection of pathological specimens, thereby creating an important research facility for the College's medical students. Openshaw's medical career continued to develop at the London Hospital with his appointment as assistant surgeon in 1890 and surgeon in 1899.

He founded the Orthopaedic Department at the London Hospital, and became a consulting surgeon in 1926.

Jack the Ripper

When a kidney, purportedly from Jack the Ripper victim Catherine Eddowes, was posted to George Lusk, Chairman of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, together with the From Hell letter, Lusk was persuaded by his fellow Committee members to take them to Dr Frederick Wiles, who had a surgery nearby on the Mile End Road.

Wiles was out, so his assistant, F S Reed, examined the contents of the box and took the kidney to Openshaw at the nearby London Hospital. Openshaw believed that the kidney was from the left side of a human body.

As Openshaw was frequently mentioned in press reports at the time in connection with the kidney and From Hell letter, his name became known widely among the general public. On 29 October 1888 he received a letter through the post addressed to 'Dr Openshaw, Pathological curator, London Hospital, Whitechapel' and was postmarked 'LONDON E', 'OC29 88'. The text of the letter reads as follows:

Jack the Ripper

with a slide cocked up.

This letter has become known as the "Openshaw Letter".  A copy of the letter is on display with other Ripper items in the Royal London Hospital's museum in Whitechapel.

The letter was also used by author Patricia Cornwell to try to substantiate her claim that Walter Sickert was the Ripper. She claims that  the paper used for the Openshaw Letter came from the same manufacturers as paper used by Sickert. However, it was a brand of stationery that was widely available at the time. Also according to Cornwell, mitochondrial DNA extracted from the stamp on the envelope could not be ruled out as being the same as that found on other Sickert letters. Mitochondrial DNA, however, is not a definitive test of identity and the sequence found by Cornwell's team of experts could be from one of over 400,000 individuals.

Military service
As a youth Openshaw became a member of the British Army's volunteer force (the then equivalent of the Territorial Army), eventually being appointed lieutenant colonel in the Lincolnshire Yeomanry. Having been appointed surgeon to the Volunteer Medical Staff Corps in 1888, when the Second Boer War broke out in South Africa in October 1899, Openshaw left his duties at the London Hospital and went there as surgeon to the Imperial Yeomanry Field Hospital. Openshaw was taken prisoner by the Boers, but was released after two weeks of confinement during an exchange of prisoners. He was subsequently appointed Principal Medical Officer at the Number Three Medical School Hospital in Pretoria. For his services during the Second Boer War Openshaw was awarded the Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) by Queen Victoria.

As Openshaw was 58 years old when the First World War broke out in 1914, he was considered too old to serve abroad in the front line. Nevertheless, he was determined to contribute to the war effort and therefore served with the rank of colonel in the Royal Army Medical Corps (Territorial Force) as a consulting surgeon based in the United Kingdom. Openshaw later received the Territorial Decoration (TD) for his services.

He was elected surgeon to the King Edward VII Hospital, and later, as an acknowledged expert in orthopaedic surgery, he was instrumental in establishing the Queen Mary Convalescent Auxiliary Hospital for the Limbless at Roehampton, where he oversaw the development of effective artificial limbs for the thousands of men who had become amputees because of injuries sustained during the war. In 1917 he was awarded the Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (CB) for this important work.

Interests
Openshaw had numerous interests outside of medicine. For example, he was the Master of four guilds, the Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights, the Worshipful Company of Barber-Surgeons, the Worshipful Company of Glovers and the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights. He was also an enthusiastic Freemason and was a founder member of the London Hospital Lodge, and was also a founder of lodges at his old grammar school and university. In addition, he was a Fellow of the Old Time Cyclists Club, President of the Red Spinner Angling Society, President of the Association of Lancastrians in London and an early Master of the Lancastrian Lodge.

Later years

Although he wrote no books or medical treatises, Openshaw was the joint editor of the Catalogue of the Pathological Collection at the London Hospital. From 1916 to 1924 he served on the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons. In addition, he was consulting surgeon to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, the Poplar Hospital for Accidents, and the Cottage Hospitals of Tilbury, Sidcup and Woolwich. He was surgeon to the Royal Surgical Aid Society.

Openshaw had a son and daughter with his wife, Selina Gertrude Pratt, the daughter of William Pratt of Buern Abbey in Oxford, whom he met at the London Hospital where she had trained as a nurse. They married in 1890. His son, Major L.P. Openshaw, served in the Royal Air Force as a pilot and was killed in a mid-air collision during an air show in Bournemouth in June 1927.

A few months after his wife's death in 1929 Openshaw developed diabetes and died of pneumonia in a nursing home aged 73.

Openshaw Archive

Openshaw's photographs from the Second Boer War, his medals and certificates were donated to the Royal London Hospital Archives and Museum in 2004 by John Jenner, his grandson. A selection of Openshaw's medals and decorations are now on display at the Museum.

The Museum holds Openshaw's campaign medal for the Second Boer War with bars for Cape Colony, Orange Free State and Transvaal, as well as his Queen Victoria Jubilee medal for 1897, Edward VII 1902 Ambulance Service Coronation medal, his British War Medal for service during the First World War and his Imperial Yeomanry Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.

It is my great pleasure to join you today at the international seminar hosted by Jakarta Muhammdiyah University(UMJ). To begin with, I'd like to extend my warm congratulations on the 6th anniversary of the LPM (Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa) UMJ.
The topic today is "International journalism and its influence on global order". It is a grand and cutting-edge topic. International news is a window to the world. It helps us to know and understand other peoples, religions, cultures and countries across geographical boundaries and has a profound impact on foreign policy making, international relations and global order. In recent years, with the vigorous development of the internet and social media, international news is no longer high-end and everyone now can be a news source and a news spreader. The international news has been woven into the daily life of ordinary people, and plays a stronger role than ever before.
However, just as every coin has two sides, fake news, clickbait and online rumors can neither be ignored. Mark Twain has said in the 19th century that "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." In the age of digital media, the rumors can travel around the world twice. At this moment, more than ever, we need the real journalists to stand out, to be a champion of righteousness and justice, uphold the journalism spirit and ethics, respect the facts, restore the truth, eliminate misunderstanding and spread friendship.
As Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia, I'm pleased to see that in the last three years, quite a few Indonesian journalists have made objective and fair coverage of China, support the growth of China-Indonesia relations, and made their contributions to the mutual understanding between our two peoples.
A journalist from Bisnis Indonesia wrote after coming back from China, "I'm not the kind of person who easily feels astonished or amazed, but every time when I visit China, I always feel surprised. The country with more than 1.3 billion people is becoming so advanced and modern, and it can be managed in such an orderly manner."
As China and Indonesia are exploring cooperation in building the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, many Indonesian journalists have paid visits to China to take and experience the bullet train. They wrote in their articles, "China had built 20,000 kilometers of high speed railway with a set of sophisticated procedures, high standards, advanced technologies and reliable operating system. It's not only safe, but also comfortable. " A journalist from detik.com even took photos and wrote down every step during his whole journey, from buying a ticket to arriving at the destination and showed to the Indonesian people.
As Indonesian people have great interests in the religious life of Chinese Muslims, many Indonesian journalists have flew to China and visited Muslim communities in Xinjiang and Qinghai to send back the first hand reports. A journalist from the Liputan6.com wrote in her report, "mosques in various sizes and styles can be seen everywhere in Xinjiang. The story saying that the Chinese government ban Uighur Muslims from worship is not a fact at all. Just like the life in Indonesia, whenever there is an adhan from the mosque, all the Muslims at the neighborhood will go to the mosque and pray, five times a day. We never see restrictions upon religious activities." And last year, the chief editors or managing editors from media including Kompas, Metro TV and Vivanews, attended Eid al-Adha prayers in Niujie Mosque in Beijing together with Chinese Muslims and communicated with the Imam. They took and posted a lot of photos and videos. With these reports, more and more Indonesian people understand the real life of the 23 million Chinese Muslim brothers and sisters, as well as the freedom of religious belief in China.
Chinese media also spare no efforts to introduce wonderful Indonesia to Chinese people. 6 Chinese media have assigned resident correspondents to Jakarta and numerous reporting teams visit Indonesia each year. Last year, a team from Chinese Central Television traveled around Indonesia and produced a 15-episode special program, with a comprehensive introduction of Indonesian economy and society, tourist attractions such as Tanah Lot Temple in Bali and Borobudur in Yogyakarta, customs and traditions as well as local cuisines throughout Indonesia. Such programs have attracted more and more Chinese tourists to visit Indonesia. Last year registered a record number of 1.45 million tourists from Chinese mainland, making China Indonesia's largest source of overseas tourists. Official statistics from the Indonesian government show that Chinese tourists spend an average of USD 1,107 per person, contributing almost USD 2 billion to local revenue. In the first two months of 2017, more than 400,000 Chinese tourists visited Indonesia and the total number is estimated to surpass 2 million this year.
The increased media reports arouse the interest and enthusiasm of the young people from both China and Indonesia to know about each other. More and more students go to the other country to study. Now there are 14,000 Indonesian students studying in Chinese universities and China is the second largest destination for Indonesian students to study abroad. I also want to take this opportunity to share with you a good news that Chinese government provides around 200 government scholarships this year to help more Indonesian students realize their dreams of studying in China. We welcome the students from Jakarta Muhammdiyah University to go to China for further study.
Dear students, all of you are carrying the future of Indonesian journalism. I hope you study hard, make progress, be brave to pursue your dream to be a good journalist and make your contributions to the friendly exchanges between Indonesia and the rest of the world, particularly with China.

Inside the Huddle: Tyrone McGriff sheds light on defensive play
October 16, 2006 12:00 am by Stephanie Haughton
Saturday's night defeat at the hands of the South Carolina State Bulldogs brought an end to the Florida A&M Rattlers' three-game win streak.
The FAMU football team put themselves in a two touchdown hole that they couldn't climb out of.
The Rattlers defense failed to hold the strong offense of the SCSU Bulldogs that rushed for 315 yards. Defensive end Tyrone McGriff attempted to hold some ground, leading the defense with 11 tackles against the Bulldogs. Despite his good game, McGriff knows that there are "many more games to come."
The Famuan: Coming into the game, what was your expectation of the Bulldogs?
McGriff: Well, we knew that they were going to be a good team. They had a good running back and QB, and we have had problems before trying to stop the run. We never really could find that groove.
The Famuan: What do you think is the biggest problem facing the defense right now?
McGriff: Missed assignments and not finishing the plays.
The Famuan: Do you think the Rattlers dictated the flow of the game or were the Bulldogs in control?
McGriff: We couldn't stop the runs so they took advantage. We did better in the red zone, but as far as stopping the drive we couldn't. They controlled the game clock and the pace of the game.
The Famuan: Did the Bulldogs use any particular schemes that the team couldn't handle?
McGriff: I wouldn't say schemes. We just didn't execute our plays.
The Famuan: At halftime, what did Coach Carter say to the team and defense in particular about the game?
McGriff: Basically he spoke about just trying to come out and starting at a faster pace. We kill ourselves a lot with penalties.
The Famuan: What will be the keys against your upcoming opponent Norfolk State on defense.
McGriff: We haven't broken down Norfolk film as of yet, so we're not quite sure what kind of offense to run. But the main thing with defense is we need to make tackles.
The Famuan: This is the fourth year the team has lost to South Carolina State. What does it take to get over that hump against them next season?
McGriff: On behalf of the defense, we have to execute our plays and do a better job tackling. That's all we need to do.
The Famuan: On the sideline towards the end of the game you came out hurt and seemed to be upset. Can you talk to me about that? What happened on field to trigger your anger?
McGriff: The Bulldogs fullback came and hit me late. After the play was over with, he hit me in the knee and pretty much tried to hurt me. It was a cheap shot.
The Famuan: How do you view the mental standpoint of the defense?
McGriff: Right now some players are down because it was a close game at the end, but we're going to pull through. Nobody thinks the season is over yet. We still have five more games to be played. There's still a lot of football to be played.

NEW: California to Ban Gas and Diesel Trucks by 2035
By Cristina Laila
The Marxists on the California Air Resources Board are looking to ban all gas and diesel trucks.
The board boasted about being the first to adopt a rule requiring truck manufacturers to transition from diesel to electric beginning in 2024.
It is unclear how California will charge all of these vehicles when they can't even keep the lights on during heatwaves and days with gusty winds.
There is no infrastructure to support this plan.
And what about the logistics? How will trucks be able to stick to their routes when there aren't enough charging stations?
"Many California neighborhoods, especially Black and Brown, low-income and vulnerable communities, live, work, play and attend schools adjacent to the ports, railyards, distribution centers, and freight corridors and experience the heaviest truck traffic," the California Air Resources Board wrote.
"This new rule directly addresses disproportionate risks and health and pollution burdens affecting these communities and puts California on the path for an all zero-emission short-haul drayage fleet in ports and railyards by 2035, and zero-emission "last-mile" delivery trucks and vans by 2040." the board added.
The trucking and construction industries are pushing back on this new insane push to ban diesel trucks.
SF Gate reported:
A controversial new proposal to ban diesel-powered trucks in California has sparked a divisive debate among the trucking industry, the state and environmentalists.
Many representing the trucking and construction industries said that there simply isn't enough charging capability or grid capacity in the state to move fleets over to zero-emission vehicles so quickly. (The shift away from internal combustion engines in big rigs has largely moved to battery-powered vehicles, though hydrogen fuel cell technology is also being developed.)
"The infrastructure cannot be established in the timeframe given," said Mike Tunnell of the American Trucking Association. "Fleets will have to deploy trucks that cannot do the same job as their current trucks."
Others pointed to logistical problems in charging electric vehicles.
"This will do damage to us. We don't really understand how to charge these vehicles," said construction company CEO Jaimie Angus. "Those pieces of equipment go home with those men every day, so they'll need to be charged from home? How do you compensate that person for that?"
Meanwhile, environmentalists, including a representative from the Sierra Club, urged that the timeline be expedited to rid the roads of internal combustion engines sooner rather than later.
In August California passed a law banning new sales of gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
The Biden Regime is impressed with California and said its ban on gas-powered vehicles is a model for the rest of the country.
In September Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm touted California's ban on gas-powered cars even though the state issued a flex alert asking Californians not to charge their electric vehicles during a sweltering heatwave to avoid rolling blackouts.
This is what Joe Biden wants for all Americans, except for the elites.
The elites will be able to charge their EVs or still enjoy their gas-powered fleets while the peasants are unable to drive or travel.

It is hard to tell from the blog but the girls have been busy traveling, ballooning, hiking and visiting lots of National Parks and Monuments. I'll be doing write ups about those for the Dogs and National Park posts. We have been finding some dog friendly ones so watch for those coming soon.
On Varel's 7th birthday, July 25th, we found a nice reservoir to take the kayak out on so she enjoyed a little paddle. K'Ehleyr likes the idea of the kayak but has problems with the motion and jumps ship when we leave the shore. She does like swimming though.

HP Leases Entire Building in Madrid's 22@ from UK & European Investments
The asset, located at 66 Calle de Tangér, is owned by UK & European Investments and has five floors and 7,200 square meters.
The US-based tech giant is moving to Madrid's 22@. Barcelona's technology district, a benchmark in today's office market, will now play host to Hewlett & Packard (HP), which has just leased an entire office building at Calle Tangér from UK & European Investments, the real estate developer announced.
The property, located at 66 Calle de Tangér, a centrally located street in the district, has five floors and 7,200 square meters of surface area, 800 square meters or which are on the roof, with stunning views of Barcelona.
The American technology will set up shop next door to other giants of the tech sector, including Amazon and WeWork in the Luxa office complex, which is owned by Catalana Occidente. Other large international firms, mostly related to technology, have also recently moved to the area: Facebook moved into Merlin's iconic Torre Glòries, while Schibsted and King will share a space in a new building that Colonial is building in 22@.
UK & European Investments acquired HP's new home in Barcelona in July 2016. The asset underwent a complete rehabilitation, converting an industrial building into an office building, the first in Barcelona to have a Leed Platinum certificate. The London architectural office of Buckley Gray Yeoman (BGY) and Spain's Deerns participated in the project.
UK & European Investments, headquartered in London and headed by its CEO, Barney Kelham, specialises in the development of prime industrial-style office spaces. In Spain, where the firm has an office, the company's rehabilitation of the 66 Calle de Tangér building is one of several projects that the group has underway in the country, with a gross total development value of more than 130 million euros. Among them, two residential projects in Madrid and Marbella stand out.
TLG, a private investment firm that operates in eleven countries, with a significant presence in the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany and Spain, owns the company. The firm is active in fashion distribution, fund management, hotels and venture capital.
