At the start of this year, I was reflecting (as is customary) on my 2016 projects and thinking about what training and professional development I might want to do in 2017.
Something I had been thinking more about was educational theory, pedagogy and learning theory. Some of this was prompted by reading I'd set for my online students on the University of Edinburgh MSc in Science Communication and Public Engagement, so rather than more theory I wanted to see some approaches I'm less familiar with in action – preferably in a context I'm less familiar with too.
Over the years I've studied and practise science communication in most forms, worked in outdoor education centres, and I am working more often now also in heritage contexts… Then I came across Little Sparks and Art Sparks at Jupiter Artland and saw they have a volunteer programme. Perfect.
Jupiter Artland is a private collection of contemporary sculpture open to the public in gardens and woodland near Edinburgh. It was an Art Fund Museum of the Year finalist in 2016. Little Sparks is their pre-school programme during term time which follows a Montessori approach and allows child-led exploration of the modern art in the Artland and the woodland setting. A classroom within the grounds opens on one side to an enclosed area of woodland where the children can explore freely in all weathers. I was accepted as a learning volunteer for a six-week block starting Easter Tuesday until the end of May. Little Sparks leaders are qualified in Montessori and Forest School methods and the educational philosophy behind these sessions is to be child led and blend imaginative play, outdoor play, art and creativity and a little bit of science (in the sense of experimentation and discovery about the world around them).
Sessions are open to children from age 2.5 to 5 years and booked in blocks. Over time cohorts have developed who stay with the programme right through and because of this, some classes have more 2-3 year olds and others more 5 year olds. On the day of the week I volunteered, the morning class was quite young while the afternoon group was much older, including some homeschooled or flexi-schooled children of primary 1 age.
It was noticeable that the younger children and any new older children needed to be given options and suggestions for things to do with all the stimulus and resources set out, whereas those more familiar with the environment often arrived with their own ideas and plans for activities and projects. Session leaders were skilled at engaging individuals in the former group and finding something to pique their interest and get them involved. They were also enthusiastic about enabling the children with their own ideas and projects and helping them develop these – without ever telling them what to do – a real skill!
In most of my work, activities and workshops are quite outcome-led. Despite the fact that both science and art are at their core open processes of discovery, those of us who plan workshops or drop-in activities too often design them to allow the participants to "make an X" or "discover Y". There are lots of reasons for this, not least the logistics of resourcing and marketing something totally open and also my observations about how it takes participants some time to become comfortable enough in an environment to really get stuck in without being given a specific task.
You can read more about what we did in each session I helped with (and see photos) on the Little Sparks blog written by Julie who planned and led the sessions with assistant Catriona.
Since finishing with Jupiter Artland I've started working with Historic Environment Scotland and the Burrell Collection and for both clients I'm thinking about under-5s and about free play for early years and older audiences. I've also just returned from the BIG Event at the Centre for Life where they have a relatively new "making space" and where we talked about how science centre staff and exhibit designers like myself need to work harder to resist giving answers and instead focus on encouraging exploration.
I found my time in the Artland inspiring and have since taken my own son to the holiday programme "Art Sparks" which he loved. I have seen new ways of working, met some lovely people (and children and parents) and spent time in an inspiring environment – I highly recommend volunteering for professional development.
*The title of this blog post is of course very much tongue in cheek – I truly believe everyone is an artist and everyone a scientist! There is no dichotomy.

I love a magic elixir–a special sauce or bit of magic that turns ordinary food into extraordinary. In my circle, I'm a little famous for the bowl of marinated red onions on my kitchen counter (we even call them "Counter Onions"!)…which is amusing, because how could I have known these onions would start a movement? From my Instagram stories you may know that I prize a beautiful entrée salad, and every entrée salad I make includes a bit of this oniony goodness. And there isn't a simpler recipe.
I marinate my red onions in a high quality olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano. I leave them on my counter uncovered in a little ceramic dish to use every day on my eggs, in a hamburger, in a salad, or in a marinated entree. Daily I get reports on other creative ways people enjoy them–and my own children eat them right out of the bowl.
Make enough to use over two days, and if after two – four days you haven't used them up, use the oil olive oil to make a salad dressing, sauce up the onions and enjoy them, or chop them up and put them in a chicken salad. They stay fresh about two days on the countertop. You might be asking yourself: why not put them in the refrigerator? I don't, because when the oil solidifies, the magic is gone. After Heroine Chicken these simply delicious dish enhancers are my most talked about recipe, and deserve their own blog post–so let me know how you use yours! They will perk up just about every savory dish you make.
Q: It seems so hard to get one of your Marinated Onion bowls – how in the world do I get one?
A: We are adding bowls every week. You can message me with your email. I have a short list of folks that I send an email to every week.
Q: The onion bowls seem kind of expensive, why are they priced like that?
A: Each one takes 10 days to make and is hand made by an artisan and each one is numbered and stamped.
Q: What if I just can't afford spend that much on an onion bowl?
A: If it's not something that is possible for you, I do regular giveaways. So keep watching the stories and be sure to enter when we do them!
Q: Why do you call them "counter onions".
A: We call them "counter onions" because they meant to be served room temp and there is never a time that there isn't a bowl or two on my counter, ready to go!
Q: Why don't you put them in the refrigerator?
A: I don't put them in the refrigerator because the oil solidifies and when it does, the magic is gone.
Q: How long are they good for?
A: They are good for about 3-4 days. We enjoy the onions on everything and use the oil as a salad dressing or marinade.
Q: Do I need to cover these?
A: I don't cover mine but if you live in a warm, tropical area or there is another reason that you need to, feel free.
Q: Can I make the whole recipe in one bowl? (Whether I using the onion bowl or not)? Can I put the marinade in and then stir?
A: It's best to make the marinade and stir it up in a separate bowl. Then slice your onions, keeping them intact. Then gently place them into the bowl and pour the marinade over them. If you mix it all together in one bowl, you will most likely separate the onions and they may stick out of the oil.
Q: What do I do if I have onions sticking out of the top?
A: Then you probably have too many onions or they are not flat. Be sure to follow the amount of onions called for in the recipe – 1 small, 1/2 medium or 1/4 of a large onion. Be sure to keep them in slices and lay them flat as you put them in the bowl. And make the marinade in a separate bowl.
It's important not to have them sticking up out of the oil, because they will go bad.
Q: What if I don't like oregano?
A: I recommend doing just using 1/2 of the oregano. The marinade softens the taste of it so much so that you can barely taste it.
Q: Can I use fresh oregano?
A: Since this is going to stay on the counter at room temperature you need to use dried oregano. Even though I love fresh herbs, dried is better here.
Q: What about using white onions or a different viengar?
A: I love to improvise but I think that this recipe is best as is. It's not the same with a white onion, avocado oil or a different vinegar (although I have heard that people love pomegranate vinegar). If you require a vinegar with no alcohol content, I know that there are some out there and using that as a substitute would be fine.
Q: Will there be an onion smell in my kitchen if I leave them uncovered on the counter?
Q: Are the onions going to give me bad breath?
A: They should not give you onion breath, because the marinating is a gentle form of cooking so that removes the strong taste and smell.
Q: What if I have too many marinated onions or leftover marinated onion oil past the day that they are good?
A: Share with a friend or neighbor. Or saute the extra onions up – the get crispy and lovely. If you have leftover oil, marinate some protein like a chicken breast or a pork chop. You can use the oil in a salad dressing. Some people even freeze the oil in small containers and use them as a flavored oil for cooking.
Q: What if I am a person that does not digest onions well?
A: If you feel like you can, then try them. Since the marinade gently cooks the onions, they are more easily digestible. But if onions don't agree with you, then this dish just may not be for you. – then this dish may not be for you.

Posthumous Solo Show of Late Pradeep Nerurkar, 20th Jehangir Art Gallery
When a painter leaves this world for ever we remember him through his paintings and his ideas, his habits, his choices, his views about his own life as well as others'. His dedication towards his work and his passionate approach towards the life and other things he loved. As a human being he helped others too to live their way. Because he never defer his own life from others. His personal relations with his family, friends and rest of the people amongst whom he lived were co-ordinal. As a painter and at the same time a part of the society he had a very sensitive yet sensible approach towards living. For him everything was a part of his world of painting.
Artist: Pradeep Nerurkar
file photo copyright artblogazine/tathipremchand)
He never treated artistic work as special or separate or special kind of activity. It was for him a day to day breathing. His sense of personal and social life had immerged out of his social and humble behaviour. Therefore those whom he left behind are living their lives with all the memories and stories. These memories will always create the presence out of unseen presence of the beloved painterPradeep. They think that he has entered into their body, mind and soul along with his paintings to take care of them.
Pradeep Nerurkar has shown his unique presence as a highly innovative painter quite late in his career but the impact of his innovation has shocked his fellowartists and the connoisseurs alike. His approach towards his work had been always experimental as he used to tell us that he wanted to invent a medium that would reflect his most delicate sense of expression. He developed a technique with a paper pulp soaked in water on which he would work with his hands loaded with colours and a mind impatient to pour out the unknown patches of space and some hidden wounds peeping out on the edges and some lost themselves to reveal their new existence. And finally he would looked into the coloured surface to see his identity, his silent poetry evaporated from the surface leaving behind the marks of her existence on the edge of the visual periphery in an evangelic way.
The works being shown in the present exhibition are from his several works he has left behind. They were built sensitively by him with utmost care, delicacy and the ingredients produced with long research and experiments. Each of them reflects the hard work, his emotional involvement and evocative urge with utmost spiritual feeling.
He left behind very sensitive and sensible works for us to cherish. Wherever he is, I am sure; he must be living without body but with spiritual colours on his fingers and passionate ideas in his eyes.
Long live his remembrance.

Romeo y Julieta is probably the most well-known brand of Cuban cigars having been established for over 130 years. The brand was first established in 1875 by Inocencio Alvarez and Mannin Garcia who took the name from Shakespeare's classic tragedy of the same name, Romeo and Juliette. The Romeo y Julieta logo displays a number of gold medals on it, these were awarded to the brand over the years of production. Four of these were granted to them between 1885 and 1900 at four universal expositions. However, the brand truly took off after 1903 when it was acquired by Jose "Pepin" Rodriguez Fernandez, former head of the Cabañas factory in Havana, and his firm, Rodríguez, Argüelles y Cia.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill favoured Romeo y Julieta cigars, in recognition of this, the brand named one of their vitola's the 'Churchill' in his honour.

Changing Iran's Cost-Benefit Analysis of Its Nuclear Program
Wed, 04/25/2012 - 5:49am
U.S. diplomats have yet to build sufficient international support for sanctions that are constricting enough to dissuade Iran from continuing with its uranium enrichment efforts and obstruction of IAEA inspections. If Iran continues on its current course and China cannot be brought on board to a more constricting sanctions regime, U.S. or Israeli leaders might eventually feel that they are left with no choice but to attempt a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities or perhaps even pursue regime change by covert or overt means.
Such a course of action would have the potential to lead to significant U.S. naval casualties in the Persian Gulf as well as Iranian retaliation against U.S. military and civilian personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq. And while the introduction of U.S. conventional ground forces into Iran might be seen as an improbable scenario, it is impossible to predict how Iranian officials would respond to U.S. or Israeli airstrikes, particularly if they believed that such strikes were ultimately intended to help catalyze regime change.
Military action is not a predetermined outcome however. There is still time and space to bring China on board and ultimately to dissuade Iran from its current course. Doing so, however, will require a willingness on the part of U.S. officials to offer Iran a broader array of political and economic incentives than they have so far presented. If accepted, these incentives would offer a way out of the current diplomatic impasse. Alternatively, they would add weight to allegations of Iran's ultimately untrustworthy intentions.
Iran's Nuclear Program: A Question of Motives
Iran has four plausible reasons for pursuing a nuclear program. The first is to transition to an alternative source of electricity for domestic consumption. This would purportedly free up oil and natural gas reserves for export at a higher price on the global market rather than remaining allocated to Iran's highly subsidized domestic market, requiring enrichment to a level of 3%.
The second, according to Iranian officials, is to produce medical isotopes for treatment of Iranian cancer patients, requiring enrichment to 20%- the level Iran has attained and at which it currently appears to have limited its enrichment efforts.
The third would be to develop nuclear weapons or a breakout capability in order to deter foreign powers that it fears are covetous of its energy resources, which would require enrichment to 90%.
The fourth would be to brandish nuclear weapons as insurance against regime change while pursuing regional hegemony through the use of political and economic coercion, proxy forces and covert warfare.
The U.S. intelligence community, Mossad, and the IAEA are in consensus that while Iran has taken steps to acquire a nuclear weapons capability, it has not yet made the final decision to produce the weapons themselves.
Nevertheless, the disconcertingly short time it would take Iran to enrich from its current level to weapons grade, as well as the possibility that the intelligence community could fail to detect higher levels of enrichment at secret sites, has provoked some national security analysts to advocate for preventive military action.
Others policy analysts, however, continue to argue for rapprochement, diplomacy, sanctions, covert actions, containment, or a combination thereof in the hopes of dissuading Iran's leaders from taking the final step, mitigating the consequences if they do, or overthrowing them by means short of military conflict.
The Iran Policy Spectrum: Military Action
Matthew Kroenig, Special Advisor in the Office of the Secretary of Defense on U.S. defense strategy and Iran policy from July 2010-2011, argued in favor of military action in the March/April edition of Foreign Affairs,
"Tehran would certainly feel like it needed to respond to a U.S. attack, in order to reestablish deterrence and save face domestically. But it would also likely seek to calibrate its actions to avoid starting a conflict that could lead to the destruction of its military or the regime itself. In all likelihood, the Iranian leadership would resort to its worst forms of retaliation, such as closing the Strait of Hormuz or launching missiles at southern Europe, only if it felt that its very existence was threatened. A targeted U.S. operation need not threaten Tehran in such a fundamental way.
To make sure it doesn't and to reassure the Iranian regime, the United States could first make clear that it is interested only in destroying Iran's nuclear program, not in overthrowing the government."
While not categorically opposed to military action against Iran, Colin Kahl, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East from 2009-2011, admonished in a direct rebuttal supported by former CIA Director Michael Hayden,
"Assuming the worst about Washington's intentions, Tehran is likely to overreact to even a surgical strike against its nuclear facilities….
Controlling escalation would be no easier on the U.S. side…. Proxy attacks against U.S. civilian personnel in Lebanon or Iraq, the transfer of lethal rocket and portable air defense systems to Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, or missile strikes against U.S. facilities in the Gulf could cause significant U.S. casualties, creating irresistible political pressure in Washington to respond.
If Iran did attempt to restart its nuclear program after an attack, it would be much more difficult for the United States to stop it. An assault would lead Iran to distance itself from the IAEA and perhaps to pull out of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty altogether. Without inspectors on the ground, the international community would struggle to track or slow Tehran's efforts to rebuild its program."
Concurring with Kahl while differing in their conclusions, Jamie Fly, Executive Director of the Foreign Policy Initiative, and Gary Schmitt, Director of Advanced Strategic Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, contended
"A limited military strike would only be a temporary fix, and it could actually do the opposite of what it intends -- drive the program further underground and allow Iran to retain the ability to threaten the United States and its allies.
If the United States seriously considers military action, it would be better to plan an operation that not only strikes the nuclear program but aims to destabilize the regime, potentially resolving the Iranian nuclear crisis once and for all…."
Whether a limited military strike or regime destabilization operation, Iran's leaders would almost certainly believe they would have to respond forcefully to such a challenge to maintain their credibility in the region, employing missiles, proxies, and their own terrorist operatives."
While it is impossible to precisely predict how Iran's leaders would respond, what is certain is that a military strike by Israel or the United States would increase the potential for a much bloodier and costlier conflict than U.S. military engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan if it expanded into protracted asymmetric naval or ground war within any of those territories. And just as Iraq and Afghanistan's neighbors have provided covert support to insurgents, it is conceivable that Russia and China might do the same in response to a U.S. attempt at Iranian regime change, particularly if it involved the use of a large number of ground forces.
Fomenting Regime Change
Meir Dagan, former chief of Israel's foreign intelligence agency Mossad and a clear-eyed opponent of preventive Israeli military strikes on Iran, recently expressed his support for regime change by supporting Iran's internal opposition. Covert efforts at regime change would reduce the probability of regional conflict; however, they would still carry substantial risk of Iranian retaliation leading to war if the Iranian government discovered foreign hands behind its internal opposition. Sabotage attempts and assassinations targeting Iranian nuclear scientists, while certainly provocative, do not reach the same risk threshold as covert operations aimed at the overthrow of the Iranian government itself.
While the Obama administration hopes that sanctions against Iran will bring it sincerely to the negotiating table, the Guardian reported on 17 February,
"There is a strong current of opinion within the administration – including in the Pentagon and the state department – that believes sanctions are doomed to fail, and that their principal use now is in delaying Israeli military action, as well as reassuring Europe that an attack will only come after other means have been tested."
Though more time may be required for the latest round of sanctions to take full effect, China's refusal to participate makes it likely that Iran will weather them.
Containment and Deterrence
Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's international affairs program and Editor At Large of TIME, argued in the Washington Post on 14 March,
"It would be better for Israel, the Middle East and the world if Tehran does not acquire [nuclear] weapons. The U.S. effort, in collaboration with almost the entire international community, to prevent this from happening and to put tremendous pressure on Tehran, is the right policy. But were Tehran to persist, were its regime to accept the global isolation and crippling costs that would come from its decision, a robust policy of containment and deterrence would work toward Iran as it did against Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China, Kim Jong Il's North Korea and the Pakistani military."
Considering the Cuban Missile Crisis, Islamist terrorist attacks in India and the Pakistani ISI's support for militant Islamist groups in Afghanistan, however, a policy of containment and deterrence toward an arch-rival of Iraq and Saudi Arabia could take dangerous and unexpected turns down the road.
Diplomacy Without Sanctions
Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council, asserted in The Daily Beast on 23 March that "sanctions make war more likely" in an op-ed under the same title. Citing the case of pre-2003 U.S.-Iraq relations in particular, he argued that sanctions create a dynamic between countries in which "they quickly get trapped in an escalatory cycle…creating an irreversibility that eliminates all non-confrontational options."
There was and is nothing inevitable or deterministic about this however. Dr. Parsi leaves out of the equation Saddam Hussein's deception efforts, motivated in part by his self-professed fears of appearing weak before Iran, as well as the Bush administration's impatience with the U.N. weapons inspection process, motivated in part by their post-September 11th fears and their own arrogance.
It could just as easily be argued that diplomacy without sanctions would demonstrate a lack of resolve within the international community regarding Iran's obstruction of IAEA inspections, emboldening them to accelerate the development of a nuclear weapons capability.
Rapprochement
Flyntt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett, National Security Council Senior Director for Middle East Affairs and Director for Iran under President George W. Bush's first administration, respectively, maintain that "we are not going to be able to sanction [Iran], browbeat them, or even bomb them into surrender. We need to be able to come to terms with them."
While it would be ideal to achieve rapprochement with Iran, two minimal prerequisites to negotiations should be Iran's full compliance with IAEA inspections and strict limitations on its enrichment activities, neither of which the Leveretts support.
A Middle Way: Incentives-Based Diplomacy and Deciphering Iranian Intentions
Considering the current doubtful prospect of a decisive sanctions regime and the unpredictable consequences of a military strike or covert action against the Iranian government (past military estimates do not give cause for confidence) the Obama administration should test Iranian leaders' intentions by offering them an opportunity for rapprochement in the form of renewable energy technology and financial incentives to help them achieve their ostensible economic objectives.
Iran has abundant geothermal, solar, hydroelectric and wind energy resources that could help it satisfy its domestic electricity demand without presenting an inherent threat or monitoring nightmare to the international community. This would require substantial investment but Iranian leaders might be prepared to consider such an alternative if the U.S. and other U.N. Security Council states were prepared to offer it attractive financing options.
Such an initiative would demonstrate to Iran that the United States is not an implacable enemy but rather is willing to take meaningful steps to support its peaceful aspirations and integration into the international community in return for reciprocal security assurances. If Iranian leaders no longer perceive a foreign threat, whatever defensive motivation they might have for pursuing a nuclear weapons capability would lose momentum. Advocates for a more offensive Iranian foreign policy would in turn face pressure from moderates not to spurn an opportunity for peace through unwarranted belligerence.
Detractors of a rapprochement strategy along these lines will likely argue that offering technology and financial incentives to Iran would constitute appeasement of an implacably hostile regime, that Iran's political leaders would disdain the offer, or that they would cynically negotiate in order to gain additional time to build their nuclear program.
The first two arguments can only be rebutted if the U.S. makes the offer, presenting Iran with generous terms demonstrating goodwill and respect for a proud and sovereign nation. The risk that Iran would use the offer to stall can be addressed by attaching a reasonable timeline to the negotiations, extending the timeline if necessary only on the condition that Iran places strict limits on its enrichment activities and cooperates fully with IAEA inspections in the immediate term.
Though the instinct of more hawkish advocates may be to dismiss any possibility of rapprochement, if an incentives‐based approach fails the United States will have lost nothing. On the contrary, it will have strengthened its diplomatic position against the Iranian government by adding weight to the argument that the primary purpose of its nuclear program is to enable it to project coercive power throughout the region.
Getting China to Push Iran to the Negotiating Table
While China does not currently view Iran's expanding nuclear program as a threat substantial enough to warrant truly constricting sanctions, U.S. diplomats should impress upon its leaders that interests diverge and loyalties shift. While a weak and isolated Iran might remain friendly toward China in the short term out of necessity, a nuclear-armed Iran might adopt a more independent, hegemonic foreign policy in the region, presenting energy security complications for a nation whose dependence on the Middle East will only increase as its economy continues to expand.
If the United States and European Union could convince China that its interests are actually aligned on Iran, the threat of a more thoroughly constricting sanctions regime might make a rapprochement offer more attractive.
As Kenneth Pollack, former director for Persian Gulf affairs at the National Security Council has written, the U.S. should offer Iran
"not just the willingness to end the UNSC sanctions and World Trade Organization membership that the Bush administration has proposed, but major positive incentives like investment guarantees, trade credits, an aid from international financial organizations….
Getting Khamene'i to go against his instincts…will require presenting Iran with stark and clear choices: isolation and destitution if it sticks with the hard-liners, acceptance and real prosperity if it is willing to change course. And both because the hard-liners are very powerful and the Iranian people are very proud, only if both the penalties for continued recalcitrance and the benefits of acquiescence are huge are they likely to push Iran's populace and Khamene'i in the right direction." (368-369)
The key is to avoid backing Iran into a corner with no way out or offering it inadequate incentives that would be viewed as a national humiliation if they were accepted.
A renewable energy offer can be summarily dismissed by hard-nosed political realists as a long shot- no substitute for the tempting prestige of a nuclear program –but with incentives enticing enough on the one hand and economic sanctions formidable enough on the other, Iran just might give it some serious consideration. If it does not, we will be left with the same difficult choices.
It is critical to acknowledge, however, that no matter how comprehensively a military strike on Iran might be war-gamed, war is ultimately still a roll of the dice. Therefore we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by investing further in the diplomatic track before committing ourselves to a course of action the consequences of which will likely be painful and extremely difficult to control.

Sport psychologists practice an interdisciplinary science that draws on knowledge from biomechanics, physiology, kinesiology and psychology.
Sports psychologists use an interdisciplinary science that draws on knowledge from many related fields including biomechanics, physiology, kinesiology and psychology. It involves the study of how psychological factors affect performance and how participation in sport and exercise affect psychological and physical factors. In addition to instruction and training of psychological skills for performance improvement, applied sport psychology may include work with athletes, coaches, and parents regarding injury, rehabilitation, communication, team building, and career transitions.
Two basic qualifications are needed in order to becoming anything in life: education and experience. This holds true for becoming a sport psychologist as well.
Education: The educational opportunities for working as a sport psychologist are limited. Perhaps the best way to get into a top flight graduate program is to go to a school that offers some formalized experience in the field. If your school doesn't have a sports psychology major, we recommend that you stick with a psychology major and try to get experience however you can.
Some graduate programs in psychology offer a concentration in sport psychology. To see a listing of these, you may want to consider purchasing Directory of Graduate Programs in Applied Sport Psychology by Michael Sachs.
If you are in a graduate program at a school that offers only an introductory sport psychology course but it is something that genuinely interests you, we recommend that you speak with your department chair. Ask if there is any independent study classes or independent research classes that you can take to gain further knowledge of this field. The independent research class is specially useful since it will bring you into direct contact with athletes for the purposes of performance enhancement.
Experience: Perhaps one of the most difficult things to get in the field of sport psychology is the direct contact with athletes. You should work with a supervisor with an expertise in sport psychology and find a population to work with.
Many professional athletes and teams have realized the value of sport psychology and regularly make use of the services. However, they tend to use the well established individual. When you start out, working with amateur and collegiate athletes is good experience. In addition, writing is a great way to develop additional experience and to tell others about your accomplishments and areas of expertise.

Probably the best arts festival in the country!
It's true what they say – the Boyle Arts Festival is a real gem of a festival with great music and art, and a special emphasis on small, intimate events in the various historical buildings of Boyle, Co. Roscommon.
Now in its 28th year, this festival has a well deserved reputation for being one of the best local celebrations of the Arts in this country.
Of course, there's plenty of drama, poetry, storytelling, singers' evenings and street performances and there's a great mix of workshops and children's programmes as well; there's local art exhibitions, pop-up galleries and craft trails utilising the vacant premises and there's just a wonderful community spirit in the town – but my main interest this year is in the art exhibition at King House – because I was invited to show one of my Tinteán Tréigthe paintings there (see above).
Anyway, it was great to be there and, as you can see from the photos, I wasn't the only one enjoying the occasion!
Previous Who is the Other?
Hi Eoin. I just had to say that that painting is probably the best of your's that I've seen. The textures of the flaking paint, the debris and the old soot in the fireplace are incredible but also the sense of loss that you have evoked. 'Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin'.
Well, thank you very much Debbie, such a nice comment to read first thing in the morning!


It's officially car season in Arizona. While the other half of the country is hiding from the snow, it's absolutely perfect here and the car events are non-stop. This past weekend I attended a special kind of show; one that has never happened before and probably won't happen again for many years.
The occasion? Dyno-Comp's 15th anniversary and the unveiling of its newly expanded and remodeled shop space.
With the party starting right at dusk, we had to hustle to get shots of the cars in the parking lot before it was too late. There was a great mix of machinery too, ranging from Camaros to Subarus to GT-Rs and everything in between.
One thing I noticed rather quickly was that nearly every car had its hood up. Clearly, these owners were interested in performance.
Dyno-Comp's owner, Richard Garcia, has made a name for himself not just tuning, but also racing Subarus for the past two decades. That's right, he's the shop's official driver and his name is on the side of more than one track car.
In fact, the crowning jewel inside the showroom is his time attack STI that's seen race action all over the world.
As the sun went down we checked out a BNR32 Skyline GT-R. Of course, this is a model that's recently became eligible to import into the US.
The R32 was easily outnumbered by R35 GT-Rs though. The two in the opening shot are pushing 1200 horsepower apiece, and are owned by Richard and his head salesman at Dyno-Comp.
As a new STI owner, of course I spent some time peering under the hoods of other Subies. It seems like the Dyno-Comp guys really had their way with this one, with a front-mount intercooler freeing up space for all that piping.
This WRX was a bit less radical, but I did take the opportunity to check out its unique Process West Verticooler.
I took one last look around the parking lot and was pleasantly surprised by the variety I saw.
The painted parking signs in front of the shop were pretty cool too!
Stepping inside the freshly remodeled showroom, I was ready to see the expansion that Richard told me about last time I visited.
By expanding into the space next door, Dyno-Comp was able to add valuable floor space, a couple more lifts and lots of storage.
But the real highlight is the new enclosed dyno room. After a decade and a half of running the dyno inside the common shop area, I'm sure they're really excited about this!
It also makes it easier to climate control and expel fumes from the smaller, dedicated room. Dyno-Comp has built its name with this dyno, so it's only fitting that it finally has its own special spot in the shop.
Here's one of the additional bays that was added, complete with a tuned Impreza hatch standing in.
I always like to take in the details when I visit the shop; it's interesting to see which tools are used and how things are organized.
With the extra space, Richard also added a bunch of fab equipment, seen here behind the lead tech's Datsun S30.
I found this monster engine hiding around a corner. I wonder what it will be going in?
Spare parts and a sticker collection that's almost starting to look vintage, plus one extra horsepower!
I didn't get to ask what Dyno-Comp has done to this Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, but the carbon bits and opened doors kept people looking all night.
The variety of vehicles that are tuned in this shop was evident, with Mustangs and Camaros sitting alongside Japanese and German sports cars.
This Camaro had my Airaid intake on it too. It's always cool to find parts you've worked on out in the wild.
I found a couple of old Redline Time Attack door stickers on the shop cabinets. These are some serious badges of honor.
We heard a ruckus outside and discovered a DJ had set up in front of the shop trailer.
Before long that jet-powered Eclipse was moved off to the side too, and we were all treated to a demo of the afterburners. At this distance the sound and heat were pretty intense, as were the blinding bursts of flames.
The parking lot was completely packed now, with cars filling in anywhere they could. It was just a shame that it was too dark to get a photo of the whole scene.
Congrats to Richard Garcia and the crew at Dyno-Comp on 15 years of building, tuning and racing some of the highest horsepower cars out there. I'm sure the guys will enjoy the new shop for many years to come.
did the jet-powered eclipse run the quarter mile? if so, what time?
@Neal Middle-eastern too....probably getting a boatload of oil cash thrown at it.
Epic shop opening. Glad to see they even included a Honda Massively happy to see that spread of vehicles, extremely well rounded out. But DAT ZEEEEEEEE omg its cherry and that light blue is surprisingly good on it. Props to the owner!
What was in that RX7?
Great! its cherry and that light blue is surprisingly good on it. Props to the owner!
did the jet-powered eclipse run the quarter mile? or more than that?

Q: Kendo Grid Cell Not Entering Edit Mode When Tabbing To Grid From An Input Field We are using Kendo grid for a header/detail accounting application with a data-entry form and an editable grid. When tabbing off of the form to the grid the first cell will not go into edit mode except with some workaround 'hack' code in the 'navigate' event (see below). The problem is the grid edit mode literally works differently when tabbing to the first cell of the grid from a form input field vs. clicking in the same cell. Clicking (rather than tabbing) into the first cell does put the cell into edit mode, but clears the field contents.
The desired behaviour it that a user can tab to the first cell of the grid or click in it to edit the cell.
Here's a screen shot of the grid with the first cell focused, but not in edit mode (without the workaround 'hack' code):

Here's the grid code:
let grid = $("#" + target).kendoGrid({
    dataSource: {
        data: rows,
        schema: {
            model: {
                fields: columnSetup.modelFields
            }
        }
    },
    edit: function (e) {
        // This does not fire when tabbing to the grid. It will fire if a cell is clicked.
    },
    editable: {
        mode: "incell",
        createAt: 'bottom'
    },
    navigatable: true,
    navigate: function (e) {

        // Attempted Workaround - This does put the first cell in edit mode, but only when tabbing
        // to the grid. However, clicking in the first cell does put the cell in edit mode, but
        // clears the field value.
        if (e.sender['_rowVirtualIndex'] == 0 && e.element[0]['cellIndex'] == 0 && typeof (e.sender['_editContainer']) != 'object') {
            this.editCell(e.element[0])
        }
    },
    resizable: true,
    reorderable: true,
    scrollable: { virtual: true },
    selectable: "row",
    columns: columnSetup.columns,
    dataBound: keyboardEventHandler,

}).data('kendoGrid');

A: To navigate to the grid by clicking as well as tabbing and then immediately enter edit mode, use the kendoHelpers 'refreshAndKeepEditing' function in the 'navigate' event on the grid:
navigate: function (e) {
    if (e.sender['_rowVirtualIndex'] == 0 && e.element[0]['cellIndex'] == 0 && typeof (e.sender['_editContainer']) != 'object') {

        this.editCell(e.element[0]);
        kendoHelpers.grid.refreshAndKeepEditing(grid, true);
    }
},


WOODSTOCK – T-shirts hung as part of an anti-domestic-violence display at the McHenry County Government Center will be taken down after a local defense attorney claimed they could prejudice potential jurors against defendants being prosecuted in the center's courtrooms.
Matt Haiduk had sent a letter to courthouse officials opposing the display by domestic violence agency Turning Point. The shirts, which are designed by victims and strung across the building's main stairway, create a bias in potential jurors, he said.
County Administrator Pete Austin said Thursday afternoon that the decision was made after taking a look at next week's docket and finding a handful of cases that could go to jury trial.
"[We're going to] err on the side of caution," he said, adding that the shirts would likely be removed Friday.

February is not only the month of love and affection but also American Heart Month with today being National Wear Red Day. The purpose is to create awareness for and fight against heart disease, which is the number one killer of women. Did you know that more women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined? As alarming as the statistics and numbers are, it proves that it is essential not only for women but also for men to take proper care of themselves and actively try to live a healthy lifestyle.
•	Nutrition is the number one way to fight against heart disease. Nutrients are vital and a well-balanced diet is the key to getting the proper amounts. Start making small changes in your diet and take steps to learn how to cook healthy recipes at home and make smarter choices when dining out with friends or family. Visit the AHA's Nutrition Center online to find recipes and advice on smart shopping.
•	Physical activity and weight management are also necessary for a healthy heart. Get moving! 30 minutes a day is all it takes to help reduce your risk of heart disease. As hard as it can be to get on the exercise bandwagon, you'll feel better and your quality of life will improve. Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. There are also plenty of low-impact options like yoga and water aerobics for people who may struggle with mobility issues.
•	Quit smoking! This speaks for itself.
•	LOL—literally. In many cases, laughter really is the best medicine so remember to do it! Stress management is key to reducing heart disease and healthy habits are another weapon that fights against stress. Stress affects everyone differently but everyone can agree it can be physically and emotionally debilitating. If you can't laugh away some of your stress, you need to get to the root of the stress and focus on ways to cope with it or eliminate the source of it altogether.

Singleton, is probably, the most controversial object oriented design pattern. Many people even consider it an antipattern.
It is used when one and only one instance of a class should exist per JVM (or classloader).
I personally believe it is a useful pattern and with some care it can definitely solve more problems than it can introduce ( http://www.javaworld.com/article/2074979/java-concurrency/double-checked-locking–clever–but-broken.html ).
There are quite a few implementations of the Singleton pattern, most of which are designed around JVM's and Java's intricacies. My favourite one is the lazily initialized one, using the holder idiom. The benefits of this implementation are that the class will only be initialized if and when needed and the thread safety is guaranteed by the language itself.

2. SEO. Search engine optimization is the process of affecting the visibility of a website in a web search engine's unpaid results. It considers how search engines work, what people search for, and which search engines are preferred by their audience. It targets various types of search such as image, local, video, news, academic, and industry-specific vertical searches.
The goal of SEO is to make your web site appear high in the search engine rankings when someone searches for a certain service or product. It is a way of encouraging visitors to visit your website.
3. Social Media Marketing. SMM is a concept that uses social media in order to achieve marketing communication and branding goals. It involves the use of social sharing of content, videos, and images for marketing purposes, consumer's online brand-related activities (COBRA) and electronic word of mouth (eWOM)., as well as paid social media advertising.
Social media marketing allows individuals and businesses to interact with one another and build relationships and communities online. It also helps in increasing website traffic, creating brand identity and positive brand association, and raising brand awareness. Most companies are using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Instagram, Tumblr, and social bookmarking sites in order to reach audiences.
4. Personal Branding. It is how people market their career as well as themselves as brand. It is a continuous process of creating a desired impression or image of a person, group or organization in the mind of a target audience. It often involves the application of one's name to various products such as Trump Tower from the celebrity real estate mogul Donald Trump.
Personal branding provides a clear focus for personal development. It likewise helps promote career success, as individuals are given the chance to engage in whatever it is they have the passion for. Benefits of personal branding are building credibility, showcasing specialty, and connection to the target audience.
5. Pay Per Click or PPC. Also referred to as paid search advertising (PSA) and cost per click (CPC), it is a part of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) that is employed to lead traffic to websites, in which the advertiser pays the publisher each time a visitor clicks the ad. It is typically linked with first-tier search engines like Google AdWords and Microsoft Bing Ads. Advertisers usually bid on keyword phrases that they deem relevant to their target audience.
Pay-per-click is used to assess the cost effectiveness and profitability of internet marketing. By specifying who will see your ads, it allows you to reach your targeted audience fast. Other benefits of PPC include executing advanced marketing techniques like retargeting which is a technique of creating campaigns and targeting people that have already visited the website but did not convert; working with other digital marketing channels such as dynamic search ad campaigns; and testing profitability of products.
If you're running a startup, don't neglect your marketing campaign. It may seem like an unnecessary extra expense at first glance. However, if you do your proper research and execute the planned campaign well, they will produce a significant return on your investment. Building a successful strategy that works for your business starts by building a solid online marketing foundation.

Q: Customising the layout of Pagerfanta pagination with a custom template I have Pagerfanta installed and working, however I am having difficulty in customising the layout. I read on Github that I need to pass through my_template, however I am unsure where this should be configured and what specificially this refers to.
Custom template
If you want to use a custom template, add another argument
<div class="pagerfanta">
    {{ pagerfanta(my_pager, 'my_template') }}
</div>

Ideally I would like to have my own Twig template that I can modify, however I don't know if Pagerfanta supports this. Is it all done in PHP?

A: I don't think it supports Twig templates but for sure you can write your custom Template class to render the pagination however you want.
Let's say in your AppBundle, you will need to create MyCustomTemplate class which should extend Pagerfanta\View\Template\DefaultTemplate:
<?php

namespace Acme\AppBundle\Template;

use Pagerfanta\View\Template\DefaultTemplate;

class MyCustomTemplate extends DefaultTemplate
{
    // override whatever you need here ...
}

then register it in your services.yml file together with the view service:
services:
    acme_app.template.my_template:
        class: Acme\AppBundle\Template\MyCustomTemplate

    pagerfanta.view.my_template:
        class: Pagerfanta\View\DefaultView
        public: false
        arguments:
            - "@acme_app.template.my_template"
        tags: [{ name: pagerfanta.view, alias: my_template }]

then in your Twig templates you will be able to use:
{{ pagerfanta(my_pager, 'my_template') }}

which will result in displaying your custom pagination template.

A: my_template is the alias of your view. The next section in the Github link you have provided explains more.
It would look something like this
services:
    app.view.my_template:
        class: App\View\MyView
        public: false
        tags: [{ name: pagerfanta.view, alias: my_template }]


Home Lifestyle The benefits of using an international removals service when moving.
What can make moving more difficult is moving overseas. There are many details to consider when moving overseas such as passports, immunizations, getting your possessions in order and packed properly and healthcare and banking changes. It is also important to adapt to a new culture and a new way of living. One way to do this is to read as much as possible about the traditions and people. Find books that explain the dos and don'ts; this will help you to recognize parts of your behavior that you may want to alter in order to fit in and avoid upsetting the local population.
Keep in mind; there are a variety of benefits when you hire an international moving service such as knowing that they are insured. An international moving service has insurance that will protect your goods so that you won't have to spend a lot of money trying to take care of issues that could have been prevented by hiring a professional moving company. In addition, a professional international moving company is skilled at moving all kinds of things; personal and otherwise.
Moving is inconvenient to say the least, especially when you are moving thousands of miles. When moving overseas, you want the move to be as free from stress as possible. Professional movers, like Removals to France (they offer their service for almost all EU countries too) whose job it is to move people overseas, know exactly what to do, how to do it and accomplish all of this in a timely manner, so that you won't feel stressed out before you even get there. In addition, you can save a great deal of money by not having to purchase, rent or use a truck, van or people to box up and upload everything for your trip.
Peace of mind is something you need; especially when it comes to an international move. There is so much to do to get ready. However, with an international moving company you will not have to worry; your items will get to where they need to go. Unless your move is not being arranged by your employer, it is imperative to find a reliable international moving company. One way to do this is to get several estimates for your move and make sure that you check what is and is not included in their offerings.
Another tip is to find out if they are an FIDI Accredited International Mover. In addition, it is also important to find out who will be the mover in the host country. Check the reviews about their credibility and seek testimonials for previous customers. Also, from your international mover, find out if you need immigration assistance, professional carton packing service, house cleaning, currency transfer or full unpacking service once you arrive. Most importantly, get everything in writing.
To conclude, moving is challenging and often difficult; however, an international moving company can make your move less challenging and more enjoyable.

Development of an objective structured assessment of technical skills for obstetric and gynecology residents
Barbara A. Goff, Gretchen M. Lentz, David Lee, Brenda Houmard, Lynn S. Mandel
Objective: To develop an objective structured assessment for evaluating surgical skills of obstetrics and gynecology residents and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the assessment. Methods: A seven-station, objective, structured assessment of technical skills was administered to 24 residents. The test included laparoscopic procedures (port placement, salpingostomy, suturing, vessel ligation) and open abdominal procedures (hypogastric ligation, repair of enterotomy, salpingo-oophorectomy.) All surgical tasks were done on pigs. Residents were timed and assessed at each station using three methods of scoring, a task-specific checklist, global rating scale, and pass-fail grade. Results: Assessment of construct validity (the ability of the test to discriminate among residency levels) found significant differences on the checklist and the global rating scale by residency level. Reliability indices calculated with Cronbach's α were 0.89 for the global rating scale and 0.89-0.95 for the individual skills checklists. Interrater reliability was 0.87 for the global rating scale and 0.78-0.98 for the checklists. Conclusion: Objective, structured assessment of technical skills can assess residents' surgical skills with high reliability and validity. These assessments have possible application for identifying residents who need additional training and might provide a mechanism to ensure competence of surgical skills.

Hemiascomycetes, including the pathogen Candida albicans, acquire nitrogen from urea using the urea amidolyase Dur1,2, whereas all other higher fungi use primarily the nickel-containing urease. Urea metabolism via Dur1,2 is important for resistance to innate host immunity in C. albicans infections. To further characterize urea metabolism in C. albicans we examined the function of seven putative urea transporters. Gene disruption established that Dur3, encoded by orf 19.781, is the predominant transporter. [14C]Urea uptake was energy-dependent and decreased approximately sevenfold in a dur3Δ mutant. DUR1,2 and DUR3 expression was strongly induced by urea, whereas the other putative transporter genes were induced less than twofold. Immediate induction of DUR3 by urea was independent of its metabolism via Dur1,2, but further slow induction of DUR3 required the Dur1,2 pathway. We investigated the role of the GATA transcription factors Gat1 and Gln3 in DUR1,2 and DUR3 expression. Urea induction of DUR1,2 was reduced in a gat1Δ mutant, strongly reduced in a gln3Δ mutant, and abolished in a gat1Δ gln3Δ double mutant. In contrast, DUR3 induction by urea was preserved in both single mutants but reduced in the double mutant, suggesting that additional signalling mechanisms regulate DUR3 expression. These results establish Dur3 as the major urea transporter in C. albicans and provide additional insights into the control of urea utilization by this pathogen.
