The magician Julien Proskauer revealed that the levitating trumpet of Jack Webber was a trick. Close examination of photographs reveal Webber to be holding a telescopic reaching rod attached to the trumpet, and sitters in his séances only believed it to have levitated because the room was so dark they could not see the rod. Webber would cover the rod with crepe paper to disguise its real construction.[162]

Many of the agencies will insist the readers manage a call average of at least so many minutes per call, to them if you cannot keep the clients on the phone AT LEAST that long you are losing them money. They then organise their computer to only pass on calls to those who can keep people on the phone, so those with a poor call average will sit there for a lot longer before they maybe get a call.

Colin Fry was exposed in 1992 when during a séance the lights were unexpectedly turned on and he was seen holding a spirit trumpet in the air, which the audience had been led to believe was being levitated by spiritual energy.[183] In 1997, Massimo Polidoro and Luigi Garlaschelli produced wax-moulds directly from one's hand which were exactly the same copies as Gustav Geley obtained from Franek Kluski, which are kept at the Institute Metapsychique International.[184]
Most card readers are highly portable and versatile in their ability to read more than one type of memory card. The most common types of memory cards are Secure Digital (SD), microSD, SDHC, microSDHC, CompactFlash (CF), Memory Stick (MS), MS Duo, Mini SD, and MMC. Before buying a reader, make sure it's compatible with the memory card you are using.
Biometric templates may be stored in the memory of readers, limiting the number of users by the reader memory size (there are reader models that have been manufactured with a storage capacity of up to 50,000 templates). User templates may also be stored in the memory of the smart card, thereby removing all limits to the number of system users (finger-only identification is not possible with this technology), or a central server PC can act as the template host. For systems where a central server is employed, known as "server-based verification", readers first read the biometric data of the user and then forward it to the main computer for processing. Server-based systems support a large number of users but are dependent on the reliability of the central server, as well as communication lines.
Usually the reader can tell what tool would be best on a specific client in order to gain the most information. Some clients believe they should dictate that. Usually the reader knows based on their connection to the client. All tools have their limits. For this reason having more tools helps the reader develop wholeness. There are times when just the day itself can have its own energy. Perhaps the reader channeled a lot within the day and a different tool can be used to refresh the reader. There are some readers that can only channel during certain hours of the day.
We use our intuition all the time without realising it, we may even call it 'a gut feeling' but we have all experienced that sense of 'knowing'. It is us however who decide whether or not to develop our gifts further. Commonly, Psychics will tell you that they were 'guided' by spirit or the universe to follow a spiritual path; this is an innate part of who Psychics are. .
We understand that only you can ultimately decide if your advisor is best suited for your needs. For psychic phone and chat sessions, we give you the first five minutes of your original order to ask as many questions as you like. If you are not satisfied for any reason, simply end the reading by disconnecting in less than five minutes and contact Member Services within twenty-four hours. We will be happy to re-assign your order (one time per purchase) to a different psychic reader.
A telephone reader can give you insight into your current and future romantic relationships. They are able to counsel you about the best way to pursue love, whether you are currently involved with a partner, or if you are single and still looking for that special someone. While they may not be able to give you the name of your future spouse, they can point you in the right direction and help you pursue relationships in a positive way.
I learned to read tarot using the Celtic spread, which offers interpretations on the recent past and near future. I flipped over the Disc and Cup cards, and told the woman over the phone that a Capricorn man was sucking her dry. This was the strongest detail I'd provided and it absolutely dazzled her. At that point she broke her character as interviewer and revealed that a Capricorn man had, indeed, drifted in and out of her life over the last 30 years. The next day, she approached my friend in HR and said, "You're so lucky to be friends with someone like Angela."
9/And after all of that – don't forget to send in feedback! Any good company that offers telephone psychic readings will tell you that they want to hear from you. If you're blown away by your reading, let them know. If you aren't, let them know. Many of the people who have psychic readings with my readers have been with us for years and we really do listen to what people say.
The company that hired me boasted they only hire two out of 100 potential psychics. I felt excited, nervous, and mostly terrified I'd be exposed as a fraud. I was confident enough dealing with strangers at parties whom I'd probably never see again, but now I had an entire corporation to report to. They let me pick my psychic name and I did my best to choose something less stripper, more gypsy (which I'd love to reveal but cannot due to an ironclad NDA).
4/Along with anything else that you might look at, I think how you are treated on reception gives you a huge clue. If a telephone psychic reading company is reputable, you can have an informal chat about what kind of psychic reading is right for you and which reader might suit you without ever feeling under pressure to go ahead and have a psychic reading.
8/After you've had your psychic phone reading, whilst it's all fresh in your mind, you might want to write down new ideas or perspectives that have come out of the psychic reading or things that you want to actually do as a result. I always urge people to give destiny a hand and come out from underneath the duvet, so if you've had a psychic reading to talk about what's going on in terms of your career, for example, you might want to draw up a mini action plan about investigating courses or following up with contacts and networking.
In many ways, having a psychic reading by telephone is less risky than having a psychic reading face to face. Any psychic who works using the telephone is regulated by an industry watchdog who insists on strict standards being upheld. Add to that knowing that you can have your money back if you aren't happy within five minutes and you can see why it's less of a risk to pick up the phone. And you can do it all from the comfort of your own sofa!
The British medium William Roy earned over £50,000 from his séance sitters. He confessed to fraud in 1958 revealing the microphone and trick-apparatus that he had used.[166] The automatic writings of the Irish medium Geraldine Cummins were analyzed by psychical researchers in the 1960s and they revealed that she worked as a cataloguer at the National Library of Ireland and took information from various books that would appear in her automatic writings about ancient history.[167]
The questions floated around in my head for awhile, but it wasn't until last Sunday that I decided to act on them. Inspired by Houdini, I made up a basic pass/fail test that I could apply a few times to see if someone was actually in tune with all the truths in the universe: If I made up a dead sister and asked a bunch of psychics to connect with her, how many wouldn't be able to tell I was full of shit?
We have a community of experienced online phone psychics who are ready to guide you through your most important life decisions. And with so many phone psychics who specialize in specific areas, you're sure to get the right psychic phone reading for your needs. We're confident you'll find the right fit and that's why your satisfaction is guaranteed!
When she mentioned that there had been abuse, I decided I didn't care if every love card in the deck turned up—the answer was going to be that the relationship was over. Fortunately, the reading was stink-o except for the last card, the ace of disks. That card meant the beginning of good fortune, usually related to finance or work. I told her that Tom was going to bring her nothing but misery, that she had to completely free herself from this relationship because there was a happier future for her if she did. After 10 minutes, we got the signal that her time was almost up, so Claudia re-upped for another 10. After I finished putting a stake into Tom, she asked about someone at work, "Phil," who seemed smitten with her. That could explain the ace of disks, I realized! But I was worried that Claudia would hop into the sack with Phil if I told her things looked promising. I just said I couldn't tell if Phil was the one, but that freeing herself from Tom would allow her to slowly find someone better.
Most telephone psychic clients are repeat customers, who rely on their telephone psychic to provide accurate and timely advice that is pertinent to their lives. It is all done over the phone. Phones provide an instant connection between callers and psychics. As a supernatural advisor, it is imperative to build trust and credibility with your clients by using a calming and interested voice and by being able to solve problems and answer questions without ever seeing the person on the other end of the line.

Arshad Sharif to be buried on Thursday
ISLAMABAD: The family of the Arshad Sharif journalist said he will be laid to rest in the H-11 cemetery in Islamabad on Thursday.
The body of renowned investigative journalist Arshad Sharif is being brought to Pakistan, said his family on Monday.
Arshad Sharif was shot to dead in Kenya Sunday night. The Kenyan police took responsibility, saying the anchorperson was shot down by Kenyan police in a "mistaken identity" case while he was travelling to Nairobi from the country's Magadi town.
Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said Sharif's body has been dispatched to Pakistan.
As a result of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's conversation with the Kenyan President, legal processes were expedited.
The minister said that Pakistani High Commissioner Saqlain Syeda personally inspected the process for several hours as Sharif's body was being sent to Pakistan. She stayed at the Nairobi airport for several hours until the body was sent to Pakistan, the PML-N leader said.
Flight QR1342, carrying the coffin of Arshad Sharif, departed from Nairobi at 3:25 PST. The flight will have a stopover in Qatar, according to sources. The flight QR0632, flying from Doha at 2235 PST today, will arrive at the Islamabad airport at 1am in Wednesday's wee hours, according to sources.
Earlier, a postmortem of the senior journalist was completed in Kenya. The journalist's postmortem was conducted in Nairobi, according to diplomatic sources.
Sharif was gunned down when police, tracking down a jacked car, opened indiscriminate fire on the journalist's automobile mistaking it for the stolen vehicle. A Kenyan police report said that they suspected the car had a minor hostage as it sped through a manned barricade without stopping.
The Foreign Office of Pakistan said that the government is actively engaged with the Kenyan authorities at multiple levels for the speedy repatriation of the mortal remains of Sharif.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Pakistan High Commission in Nairobi remain in constant contact to facilitate and expedite the process. According to the statement, Pakistan has also officially asked Kenya to launch an investigation into the incident.
Acting Foreign Secretary Raza Bashir Tarar has also met with the Kenyan High Commissioner in Islamabad to impress upon the importance of the matter and the urgent repatriation of the mortal remains.

A: Like so?

If so, you're thinking along the right lines. Another alternative to previously mentioned solutions is to just move the h1 inside the label where the h1 (basically the contents of the label) you want it next to is, inside the actual label element, as a child. You also need to change your label h2 span to display: inline;.

The wickedly funny "Election" runs a Pepsodent Reese Witherspoon against Matthew Broderick's rumpled loser.
By Mary Elizabeth Williams
Published April 28, 1999 4:00PM (EDT)
Tracy Flick is one of those people who manages to get very far in life while being thoroughly unlikable. Vain, pedantic and with a broad amoral streak running right through her Pepsodent personality, she's Carver High's standout achiever, the kind of girl whose relentless overreaching affords her fellow students time to slack.
At the beginning of "Election," Alexander Payne's stinging follow-up to the 1996 "Citizen Ruth," Tracy ("Pleasantville" and "Cruel Intentions'" Reese Witherspoon) is running unopposed for what she envisions as the crown jewel of her high school career: student council president. But while her relentless perkiness and profound sense of entitlement hardly even register with her fellow students, they have not escaped the attention of teacher and student council advisor Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick). As Tracy ramps up her campaigning efforts, Mr. M.'s irritation blossoms into profound loathing, with just a hint of sick attraction. Politics is rarely pretty, but the students and faculty at Carver High are about to find out just how ugly it can get.
As directed and co-written (with Jim Taylor) by Payne, "Election" is a tart study in teacher-student relations, adolescent pecking orders and the nasty vicissitudes of living in a world of haves and have-nots. It's also wickedly funny, an ode to youthful overachievers that's as blackhearted as "Rushmore" was gently sentimental. Tracy is the dark mirror image of that movie's Max Fischer: She's relentless, focused and insufferably prissy about achieving her ends.
As he did in "Citizen Ruth," director Payne doesn't allow you to smugly laugh at his characters; he's going to make you walk a mile in their perfectly polished penny loafers first. He gives the story four narrators, each with a uniquely biased spin. Then he makes sure that Tracy, who is as hollow and noxious as they come, is seen for what she really is, a pathetically lonely, friendless girl, a tough scrapper working like a demon to get her ass out of Omaha. Mr. M., her justifiably revolted educator, isn't some righteous avenger but a rumpled loser, spiraling rapidly from good-natured encouragement to outright sabotage. The man isn't just trying to teach Tracy a lesson, and he sure as hell isn't encouraging sidelined football player Paul (Chris Klein) to run for student council because he cares so much for the kid. He's a bitter little man trying to take that bitch down.
While "Election" is far from perfect -- it ambles on a little too long and occasionally heaves under the weight of multiple characters and subplots -- it's nevertheless one of the year's most satisfying comedies. Payne weaves a tale that can be viewed as a teen comedy or a satire of a premature midlife crisis with equal satisfaction, and his gift for jokes both broad and subtle has only improved since his last film. Everything -- from the biggest tantrums to the paraphernalia in characters' bedrooms -- reveals something quirky and unexpected about the story.
Both Witherspoon and Broderick are agile comedians, eliciting laughs from both tiny twitches and full-body breakdowns, but there's a particular gratification that comes from seeing Broderick -- 13 years after playing suave class-cutter Ferris Bueller -- confined to wearing shlubby teacher garb and prowling the halls of high school purgatory. Other performers are just as watchable, in particular Chris Klein as the sweetly oblivious jock, and Jessica Campbell as his braces-wearing, rage-filled lesbian sister. They all project both the sad longing for things they can't have and the resolute determination to change fate -- though Paul may be the only one who doesn't have a chip on his shoulder about it. Jim hates Tracy for her calculating ambition and overinflated ego just as much as Tracy hates Paul for his wealth and easy popularity.
Lily Tomlin once observed that the problem with winning the rat race is that at the end of it, you're still a rat. Alexander Payne, however, is tweaking the formula, by asking who it is we're really running against. Mr. M., in waging psychic warfare on Tracy Flick, is both unleashing and taming his own demons. We have met the enemy, Payne says, and they are us -- and that is a truly worthy adversary.

The site acts as a ground station for a number of satellites. Operated by the US National Reconnaissance Office. On behalf of the US National Security Agency. With antennae contained in a large number of highly distinctive white radomes. And is alleged to be an element of the ECHELON. Menwith Hill Station was opened on 545 acres 2.21 km.

20 Best Windows, Linux, and mac hacking tools
By Syed Mazhar Abbas August 17, 2022 8 Mins Read
Unethical hacking is the other side of the coin to the more popular ethical hacking. Hackers used illegal hacking techniques to rake in rapid cash. There are, however, many people who prefer to learn hacking the right way. Ethical hacking extends to areas such as WiFi protocol study and WiFi security. Therefore, you need to learn how to properly use specific instruments if you want to become an expert ethical hacker. With these resources, the security industry could eliminate a lot of unnecessary complexity. We've compiled a list of the Best Windows, Linux, and mac hacking tools, replete with in-depth descriptions of their capabilities.
So, in this article, we will share the best Windows, Linux, and mac hacking tools. The majority of the recommended resources were available at no cost. Please use the information here only for its intended purpose of education.
Instead of calling it an exploit toolkit, I'll refer to Metasploit as a foundation for building new tools. One of the most popular free cybersecurity tools, this application can scan for vulnerabilities in many different systems.
Over 200 thousand Metasploit users and volunteers are here to help you find loopholes in your security and gain insights.
Nmap works with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Free and open-source tool Nmap (Network Mapper) may be used to conduct both network discovery and vulnerability assessments. I think most people are familiar with it.
In addition to being optimized for scanning large networks, it performs well when scanning single hosts. You can use it to create a "map" of a computer network by identifying the computers and services that make up the network.
Acunetix WVS
It works fine with Windows XP SP3 and later versions. It is also known as one of the best mac hacking tools. Acunetix is a WVS (web vulnerability scanner) that analyzes websites for security flaws.
This application uses multiple threads to probe a website for security flaws like Cross-site Scripting and SQL injection. This simple and fast scanner checks WordPress sites for over 1200 security flaws.
Ethereal was the previous name for this open-source program. TShark is an alternative to Wireshark's CLI that provides a text-based interface. This GTK+-based network protocol analyzer works smoothly on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
See also Top 10 Best Recoverit Alternatives You Must Use in 2023
With Wireshark, you may capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames with the help of a GTK+-based network protocol analyzer or sniffer. The project aims to make a commercial-quality Unix network analyzer available and improve upon Wireshark by including features that aren't present in proprietary network sniffers.
oclHashcat
For free, you may obtain this useful hacking tool on Linux, OS X, and Windows. Hashcat is a free password-cracking program that you might be familiar with if you crack passwords frequently.
Whereas Hashcat relies on your central processing unit (CPU), oclHashcat uses your graphics processing unit (GPU). You can also use the program to crack WiFi passwords.
oclHashcat claims to be the first and only password-cracking tool because of its GPGPU-based engine. ForceWare 346.59 or later is required for NVIDIA users, whereas Catalyst 15.7 or later is required for AMD users.
Nessus Vulnerability Scanner
Supported operating systems range from Windows 7 and 8 to Mac OS X and major Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Kali Linux, etc. The client-server model is at the heart of this finest free hacking tool of 2020.
Tenable Network Security developed what is now one of the most used vulnerability scanners. Each version of Nessus—Nessus Home, Nessus Professional, Nessus Manager, and Nessus Cloud—serves a different purpose.
Maltego
This program works equally well on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. Maltego is a free and open-source forensics application that allows users to gather and mine massive amounts of data to create a picture of potential cyber threats in their environment.
You can demonstrate the complexity and severity of potential failure spots in your infrastructure and environment with the help of Maltego.
Social-Engineer Toolkit
However, Mac OS X and Windows, in addition to Linux, have limited support for the Social-Engineer Toolkit. On Mr. Robot, social engineering attacks like credential harvesting and phishing are simulated using TrustedSec's Social-Engineer Toolkit, a complete framework for simulating these and other social engineering attacks.
Nessus Remote Security Scanner
It's recently gone closed source, but you can still get it for free for the most part. More than 75,000 companies worldwide use Nessus as their primary vulnerability scanner for the Remote Security Scanner.

Many of the world's leading corporations save a ton of money by employing Nessus to conduct audits of mission-critical corporate devices and apps.
It is an 802.11 layer2 network sniffer, detector, and intrusion detection system. With the raw monitoring (mon) mode and the ability to sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic, Kismet is compatible with any wireless card. If your wireless card has the capability, from is a handy function.
It is open-source software, meaning the source code is freely available to anybody. Password-cracking software, to be precise.
Because it incorporates many password crackers into a single package, automatically identifies password hash types, and contains a configurable cracker, it is one of the most popular tools for testing and cracking passwords.
Unicornscan
Unicorns is a project that aims to build a Distributed User-Land TCP/IP stack for data analysis and aggregation. It's meant to provide researchers with a high-quality interface for sending stimuli to and receiving responses from TCP/IP-enabled devices and networks.
This tool can do active/passive remote OS, application, and component identification by analyzing responses, and it supports asynchronous stateless TCP scanning with all TCP flag variants.
It's a user-friendly web-based application vulnerability scanner that uses cutting-edge Proof-Based vulnerability scanning technology and incorporates penetration testing and reporting.
Netsparker safely and non-destructively exploits the identified flaws and generates exploitation evidence.
Burp Suite is a comprehensive environment for assessing the safety of online applications. Equally impressive, it's also one of the best hacking tools you can find online.
From the initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface to detecting and exploiting security issues, the entire testing procedure is made possible by its many tools.
Superscan 4
In any case, it's another popular Windows port scanner. Fortunately, there is SuperScan, a robust TCP port scanner, pinger, and resolver. This zero-cost application scans a host for open TCP and UDP ports through a network connection.
Aircrack
It includes a sniffer for detecting networks, a cracker for WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK, and an analyzer for finding security flaws.
Several monitoring, attacking, pen testing, and cracking tools are available in AirCrack. Among the best network tools, this is in the top tier. This means it's a top-tier WiFi hacking tool.
W3af is the best open-source and free web application security scanner available. A lot of people in the hacking and security research communities utilize that.
See also Can People See How Many Times You Viewed their Snapchat Story?
The web application attack and audit framework (w3aF) is utilized during penetration testing to collect data on security flaws.
OWASP Zed
The Zed Attack Proxy has risen to prominence as one of the most successful OWASP initiatives. When it comes to hacking and penetration testing, OWASP Zed is a reliable and simple tool.
Security researchers can locate vulnerabilities and defects with the help of OWASP Zed's many resources.
Nikto Website Vulnerability Scanner
Penetration testers frequently use this tool. Nikto is a free, open-source tool for scanning web servers for security flaws.
Furthermore, more than 1300 servers are scanned for out-of-date software by the application. The Nikto Website Vulnerability Scanner also checks for issues with the server configuration.
SuperScan
One of the best free Windows port inspection tools, it uses the connect protocol to scan for open ports. Open TCP and UDP ports on the target computer can be found using the application.
SuperScan also supports basic searches like whois, traceroute, ping, and many more. Because of this, SuperScan is yet another leading hacking tool to think about using.
Can these be used to break into internet accounts?
Programmers developed this kind of software specifically to spot security holes. No, we do not encourage account hacking because of the potential legal ramifications.
Is it risk-free to use these tools?
To avoid potential danger, only use the tools obtained from trusted sources.
Can I use these instruments to do a network scan?
A WiFi scanner is required for scanning a WiFi network. There are a few WiFi scanners mentioned in the post that may be able to provide some useful web data.

Johan August Bräutigam, född 30 mars 1871 i Göteborgs Kristine församling, död 9 juli 1970 i Göteborgs Oscar Fredriks församling, var en svensk affärsman och diplomat. Initiativtagare och medgrundare till Rotary och Odd Fellow i Göteborg.

August Bräutigam var Nicaraguas konsul i Göteborg under åren 1913-67, då uppdraget övergick till äldste sonen och vicekonsuln  Olof Bräutigam (1910-1977).

August Bräutigam var äldste son till konditor Emil Bräutigam och Johanna Pettersson, och var sedan 1907 gift med Adèle Peterson, dotter till övermaskinist Adolf Peterson och Charlotta Nilsson. År 1883 emigrerade Bräutigam tolv år gammal till Bluefields i Nicaragua där han ägnade sig åt export av mahogny- och ebenholztimmer samt frukt och gummi till USA och Europa. Vid sekelskiftet flyttade August Bräutigam tillbaka till Göteborg där han grundade Remington Skrivbyrå AB och Nicaraguas konsulat i Göteborg.

August Bräutigam har lämnat efter sig en rad berättelser från sin tid i Centralamerika som blev nedtecknade av hans son Olof Bräutigam.

August Bräutigam är begravd på Kvibergs kyrkogård i Göteborg.

2K syndicate manager Sterling Cincotta said Edmonds believed there wasn't a split match between Betaima and Champagne Jet.
"We have only been going as a syndicate a relatively short time so it would obviously be a great kick-along to have two genuine Classic runners," Cincotta said.
"Betaima is assured of a start. On previous years Champagne Jet should also make it but with increased prize money everywhere it would be nice to pick up more on Saturday just to be safe."
"He won the feature two-year-old race on Ipswich Cup day when we got the quinella with another of our horses, Tipping," Cincotta said.
"He has good form around the smart The Fire Trap and we are looking forward to getting him out over longer trips."

New Football League Requires Players To Stand For Anthem
March. 28. 2018
Former Minnesota Viking Jared Allen is an early investor in a new spring football league, the Alliance of American Football (AAF). It will have certain differences from the NFL, among them, a "requirement" for players to stand for the national anthem while on the field.
The new league was co-founded by Bill Polian and Charlie Ebersol, son of the longtime television executive, Dick. Besides being an investor, Allen is listed as a Player Relations Executive.
In a recent interview in Sports Illustrated, Allen stated that players on the field would be required to stand:
I think we all have our own political views. We've talked about it, and Bill [Polian] can answer that question. The Alliance, we want to support our athletes in all of their endeavors. It's very important to work with that team, in that community, and have our players in the community doing philanthropic endeavors. That is very important.
If teams want to stay in the locker room, we're going to allow [it]—but if you're on the field for the national stadium, you will stand. You will be required to stand. … Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday—we want you to be in your community. As a guy who has his own charity, I want guys to be passionate about the causes they have. We're fully supportive. But just like any job, you've got to have rules.
The new AAF is at least directly addressing the issue. While the topic is a hot one at this week's NFL owner's meetings, the issue is not expected to be voted on during meetings this week. Houston Texans owner Robert McNair has been among a cluster of owners that are adamant that players should stand for the national anthem.
The AAF is slated to kickoff its inaugural season in February of 2019.

'You can do it!' Why you should practise positive self-talk on the bike
by Matt de Neef
When it comes to improving on the bike, we all know the basics. Ride more, train hard, eat well, lose weight — so much of the focus is on physical development. And while this side of the sport is undoubtedly vital, many riders overlook mental and psychological development.
Some of that will happen automatically as you improve on the bike. You'll start to realise that your mind is stronger than your body and that you can push beyond the point where things start to hurt. But beyond these gradual adaptations, there are also psychological strategies we can employ to make sure we're getting the most out of ourselves on the bike.
Among the most beneficial strategies is self-talk — talking to yourself, either internally or externally, to motivate, to allow you to push through pain, and, ultimately, to produce better performances.
Talking to yourself
The idea of talking to yourself to improve your cycling might sound crazy, but it works. In fact, there's a raft of research from a range of sporting disciplines showing that positive self-talk can bolster mental toughness and allow athletes to take their performance to another level.
Seth Rose is a sports psychology researcher at California State University, Fullerton and the author of a master's thesis on the use of self-talk among elite cyclists. He told CyclingTips that the benefits of positive self-talk are clear.
"The way that you talk to yourself, self-talk, positive self-talk, has been proven to be more beneficial than any other mental strategy that there is when you look at sports psychology as a subject in the whole."
And there's plenty of research to show that it works in cycling specifically, too. For instance:
– A 2007 paper from Canadian researchers that showed riders who used "self-regulated positive self-talk" in an experiment had an average performance increase of 23.4%.
– A 2014 study from English and Dutch researchers that found self-talk can significantly reduce a rider's rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and enhance endurance performance.
– Another study from 2014 by a group of British researchers that found motivational self-talk can lead to an increase in rider power and improved time trial performance.
Improving the best
When Rose was starting his master's thesis, he realised that while there was plenty of research on the use of self-talk among amateur cyclists, there was a real dearth when it came to elite riders. He set out to fill that gap, testing a handful of Category 1 and 2 riders to see whether their performance could be improved through the use of positive self-talk.
In the first of three lab sessions Rose tested each rider's VO2max, tracking their heart rate, power output and RPE along the way. With their VO2max and functional threshold power (FTP) determined the riders came back in for a second session where they rode for 45 minutes at 70% of their FTP, before a 15-minute all-out time trial.
Four of the study's eight riders became the control group — they were told to go away for two weeks, train as normal, then come back into the lab for follow-up tests. The other half would become the experimental group.
"I spent about 30 minutes with the experimental group — so half the participants — and we went through a two-week intervention," Rose told CyclingTips. "So I teach them what self-talk is, what it means to have positive self-talk, how they can create their own statements and we actually created four applications to use during training and then ultimately to use during the test when they come back."
After two weeks of using positive self-talk in training, the experimental group also came back into the lab and repeated the same test as a fortnight earlier. Perhaps surprisingly, Rose found that those within the experimental group didn't go further in the time trial, nor did they have a lower RPE.
"When they came back into the lab there was no significant differences across the board – the motivational self-talk was ultimately not effective with these elite level cyclists for that test," Rose said.
Pro cyclists might have less to gain from self-talk than amateurs.
So what should we make of this? Why do amateur riders seem to benefit from self-talk but elite riders don't? For a start, as Rose acknowledges, the study had some limitations, including the number of athletes taking part.
"Given the nature of elite level population and the timing of the study, sample size was lacking due to the intense training and racing schedules of high level athletes," wrote Rose in his thesis.
Furthermore, the riders seem to have been expecting the same test they'd done two weeks earlier — 45 minutes at 70% of FTP then a 15-minute all-out time trial. This meant they were better able to pace themselves than in the first trial, a factor that might have skewed the results.
But there's another, potentially bigger issue at play here too: the fact that elite riders are simply able to get more out of themselves than amateur riders. This isn't just in absolute terms, but also relative to their maximum potential. Putting it another way: elite riders are elite for a reason.
"If we look at sport there's four components: physical, technical, tactical and mental," Rose explained. "In any sport in amateur or semi-professional [ranks] there's a lot of emphasis on the physical, technical, tactical and not a lot of emphasis on the mental. So to get to that next level there has to be something different.
"And there could be genetics, it could be nutrition, it could be just the amount of training that they've been doing for years. But they might already have mental strategies — not self-talk — but mental strategies in general that they already have set in place that gets them to push past that limiter."
I've got this?
So self-talk might not work for elite cyclists. But given the research shows considerable benefits for us amateur riders, how can we use self-talk effectively? Is it as simple as saying to yourself "I can do this!"?
The first piece of advice Rose has is to keep things positive.
"There is research that shows that negative self-talk is effective but it's negative statements on yourself that would then … be positive in nature. So it would motivate you in nature," Rose said. "You cuss yourself out — sometimes people just get motivated and they push harder. But for this [study] we were really trying to keep it motivational and positive in nature, so keeping things present, positive, process-oriented.
"A lot of people were saying 'You got this! or 'Let's go!' Some people repeated to themselves 'Strong legs. Strong legs.' And then others were saying 'Almost there.' That one was kind of questionable if that's really motivational, but like I said: self-talk is so subjective."
Interestingly, the research seems to show that keeping affirmations in the second person is more effective than in the first person. That is, "You've got this!", "You can do this!" and "You're stronger than this!" are more effective than "I've got this!", "I can do this! and "I'm stronger than this!". Why might that be?
"If you have a coach, and if that coach is there with you saying things to you or yelling at you to push you to go harder, you're going to want to go harder," Rose said. "There's a lot of old research that just shows that if you have other people around you, that you're going to perform better. Social facilitation theory.
"If you're running down the street doing a light jog, exercising, and if you see a couple people walking on the other side of the street, you might almost feel like you're gliding or all of a sudden you're going a little faster because somebody is there.
"It's almost the same premise. Self-talk all comes down to conviction and self-belief and if you don't believe that you can actually do it, then you're just saying those statements just to say them."
So is it simply a case of saying "You've got this!" when things get hard during your weekly club race? Or is there a benefit in using self-talk in training as well?
"Well let me ask you this: If you were training for a race and if you only showed up to race day without training do you think you'd do well?," Rose asked. "This is called mental training and mental conditioning. It's not mental magic. With sports psychology and specifically with self-talk there's going to be a learning curve for those that have never done it before.
"If you're on the trainer and you're doing hard intervals, when you get to that point where you are pushing and you know that you're red-lining it or you're trying to hit your power numbers or whatever the case may be, that's where you practise those statements."
As Rose seemed to show with his study, the benefits of self-talk appear to tail off the stronger and higher through the ranks you get. But thankfully, for the vast majority of us, there's plenty of room to grow.
So try positive self-talk, use it, and you might just be surprised at the results. Go on: you can do it.

Twitter Adds Spaces Access via the Web as it Continues to Develop its Audio Social Platform
By Brett Belau
Twitter has taken another steady leap forward in the evolving audio social sphere by adding Spaces access via the web, meaning that you can now tune into Twitter Spaces from your desktop PC.
It's not perfect as yet. I tried to tune into a couple of Spaces and got as far as this screen, which remained stagnant for as long as I waited.
But early teething problems aside, the ability to access Spaces on the web is a significant advance, as it not only opens up the option to even more users, but it also enables hosts and speakers to use their PC microphones and audio set-ups, which will lend itself to more professional sounding, higher quality Spaces streams.
As you can see in the image above, when you go to join a Space on your PC, you'll first get a preview of the Space, similar to the mobile set-up, which shows you a selection of the people both speaking and in attendance. If you choose to join, the Space window will then reduce into the right-hand side of the Twitter presentation screen, which will enable you to keep scrolling through your timeline as you listen in.
As you can see here, captions, if you have them turned on, will also appear below the Spaces window, so you can follow along with the text as well, while there'll also be a speaker panel below the main screen to highlight who's voice you're hearing.
It's a good, valuable addition, which will further enhance Twitter's audio option, while it will also add even more pressure to Clubhouse, which has only just finished its Android app roll out to all regions.
And Clubhouse is still working on an invite-only basis to better manage system load, while Twitter Spaces is now available to everyone with over 600 followers in the app, across mobile and web. That expanded access is now a big lure for anyone considering their audio social options, and while Clubhouse still has a level of exclusivity, and cool factor among early adopters, history would suggest that, eventually, the platform with the biggest reach will likely win out, in a competitive sense.
That doesn't mean that Clubhouse can't co-exist with Spaces, and Facebook's upcoming audio social tools (among others), but it may need to re-focus onto a specific usage niche, in order to avoid comparison, and competition, with larger platforms that it simply has no chance matching up against.
For Twitter, though, it should be thanking Clubhouse for introducing the audio social trend, which it's now reaping the benefits of through increased platform usage and engagement. It'll be interesting to see what impact that has on Twitter usage overall in its upcoming Q2 report, while Twitter now also needs to turn its attention to Spaces discovery, in order to maximize usage and interest.
Spaces for desktop is being rolled out from today in all regions.

Exxon Mobil May Be Good for 2021, But Not Much Farther
XOM stock may be a solid speculation for the new year, but its long-term prospects are poor
By Dana Blankenhorn, InvestorPlace Contributor	Dec 15, 2020, 10:28 am EST	 December 15, 2020
This pandemic has accelerated change in markets everywhere. And maybe nowhere is this truer than in the energy sector. For instance, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) has defined energy for decades, becoming one of the world's most powerful companies. Now, though, XOM stock is faltering and oil isn't the only energy option. In fact, demand for Exxon's product seems to be headed for a permanent fall.
Source: Michael Gordon / Shutterstock.com
So, what once looked like a solid dividend stock with capital growth is now more like a cigarette company with declining demand. Currently, Exxon shares are down over 39% year-to-date (YTD). Plus, its market capitalization has fallen to $180.5 billion despite a dividend yield of 8.24%.
Worse, few analysts are calling it a bargain. Out of the 10 anlaysts followed by Tipranks, only one says XOM is a buy.
XOM Stock: Are Oil Prices Firming?
To really understand XOM stock, though, we need to look at the price of oil. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil — the most-watched U.S. grade — is trading today at around $47 per barrel. It started the year at over $60.
On the surface, that's not so bad. But consider those sickening moments in April, when demand collapsed and you had to pay to take it. WTI traded for under $40 per barrel for several months.
Now, however, analysts at Oilprice.com insist the market is about to recover. For one, prices have firmed since November. Plus, the supply overhang has fallen by 75 million barrels, the equivalent of 26 days' supply. According to them, a "level of restraint being applied to new drilling in U.S Shale plays" has also helped buoy prices.
Meanwhile, vaccines for Covid-19 are also coming out and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has agreed to set only modest production increases for next year. Traders haven't been this bullish since August. Many insist the excitement over electric vehicles is overdone.
Too Much Supply
So, Exxon's latest South American strikes should have buoyed the market, or at least XOM stock, right? Well, instead, word of new supplies there and off Africa have traders realizing oil is more abundant than they thought. Despite falling production budgets, Rystad Energy projects a "new normal" of 10 billion barrels of oil discovered per year in the coming years.
What's more, the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) now projects oil prices will average $49 per barrel in 2021 with demand just below 2019 levels. The problem is that supply will also increase by 5.8 million barrels per day in the new year.
Exxon's capital plan for 2021, released early in December, reflects this. The company will take a $17 billion to $20 billion "impairment" charge for the current quarter, abandoning fruitless gas assets in Canada, the U.S. and Argentina. It also plans to invest $16 billion to $19 billion next year in the Permian Basin (a region in Texas and New Mexico) as well as off Guyana. In the latter, XOM has found the equivalent of 8 billion barrels. The company also has a 28% share in speculative drilling nearby, off Brazil.
In other words, Exxon can't rely on enough increasing demand or shorter supply in years to come to make it a long-term winner.
Currently, the psychology of the oil market appears to be broken.
How? For one, the assumption that oil in the ground will always be worth as much, or more, than current production has collapsed. Additionally, the rise of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other electric car companies like Nio (NYSE:NIO), Workhorse (NASDAQ:WKHS) and more has traders worrying about future demand.
Now, XOM stock has gone from being a stock everyone needs to a speculation.
But as a speculation, it's a fine one for 2021. Exxon now has a market cap on par with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), the database company that just announced a move to Texas. Given the dividend, putting a little money into the stock currently seems like a no-brainer.
Plus, market psychology does change. If it does, you'll see a huge capital gain. And even if it doesn't, you should continue to get a very fat dividend yield from this name.
Just be plenty careful. Don't throw everything at Exxon and be prepared to abandon ship when the psychology switches back. Why? Rising oil prices will only make more people want to harvest sunlight, wind and the tides for energy. As I have been saying for a decade, there is no shortage of energy out there.

Newborns in Tennessee receive more than a baby blanket upon their arrival into the world.
Each new baby in Tennessee receives a "Welcome Baby" packet to connect the baby and family to services in their community.
The program, launched in 2013 by the Tennessee Department of Health, connects new parents to multiple resources throughout the state. All parents of the approximately 80,000 babies born each year in Tennessee will receive a packet within a few weeks of the baby's birth. This packet contains a congratulatory letter, referrals to services that address family needs, sign up material for a local library, and information on Tennessee's online directory of state services for children and families. In addition to receiving a Welcome Baby packet, some families will receive a follow-up phone call from a nurse and may be scheduled for a voluntary home visit by a local community outreach team member. Additional contacts may also be made with the family during the first year of the child's life to connect the family to resources in the community. This outreach effort began in counties across the state with the highest rates of infant mortality. The Welcome Baby initiative is in effort to reduce infant mortality rates and improve early childhood success in Tennessee.
The purpose of the Welcome Baby packet is to provide information to families of newborns, screen families and children for risks at the time of a child's birth, provide timely referrals to address family needs, and improve utilization of community resources. Topics covered during outreach contact include: medical care, parent support, nutrition, safety, child development and smoking.


LYRICA is indicated for the management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, management of postherpetic neuralgia, management of fibromyalgia, and management of neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury in adult patients, and as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial onset seizures in patients 4 years of age and older.
LYRICA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or any of its other components. Angioedema and hypersensitivity reactions have occurred in patients receiving pregabalin therapy.
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) including LYRICA increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking AEDs for any indication. Monitor patients treated with any AED for any indication for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Pooled analyses showed clinical trial patients taking an AED had approximately twice the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior than placebo-treated patients. The estimated incidence rate of suicidal behavior or ideation among 27,863 AED-treated patients was 0.43%, compared to 0.24% among 16,029 placebo-treated patients, representing an increase of approximately one patient for every 530 patients treated with an AED.
The most common adverse reactions across all LYRICA clinical trials in adults were dizziness, somnolence, dry mouth, edema, blurred vision, weight gain, constipation, euphoric mood, balance disorder, increased appetite, and thinking abnormal (primarily difficulty with concentration/attention). The most common adverse reactions in pediatric patients 4 to less than 17 years of age for the treatment of partial onset seizures were somnolence, weight gain, and increased appetite.
Inform patients taking LYRICA that dizziness and somnolence may impair their ability to perform potentially hazardous tasks such as driving or operating complex machinery until they have sufficient experience with LYRICA to determine its effect on cognitive and motor function.
In controlled studies, a higher proportion of patients treated with LYRICA reported blurred vision (7%) than did patients treated with placebo (2%), which resolved in a majority of cases with continued dosing. Consider more frequent assessment for patients who are already routinely monitored for ocular conditions.
Higher frequency of weight gain and edema was observed in patients taking both LYRICA and thiazolidinedione antidiabetic drugs. Exercise caution when coadministering these drugs. Patients who are taking other drugs associated with angioedema such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) may be at increased risk of developing angioedema. Exercise caution when using LYRICA in patients who have had a previous episode of angioedema.
Advise nursing mothers that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with LYRICA.
LYRICA may exacerbate the effects of oxycodone, lorazepam, or ethanol on cognitive and gross motor functioning.
Patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse may have a higher chance of misuse or abuse of LYRICA.
Withdraw LYRICA gradually over a minimum of 1 week. Discontinue LYRICA immediately in patients with symptoms of hypersensitivity or angioedema.
Patients with a creatinine clearance of 30 to 60 mL/min had a greater incidence of discontinuation due to adverse reactions than patients with normal creatinine clearance. Adjust the daily dose of LYRICA for adult patients with reduced renal function (creatinine clearance ≤60 mL/min) and in those undergoing hemodialysis. Administer a supplemental dose of LYRICA immediately following every 4-hour hemodialysis treatment. The use of LYRICA in pediatric patients with compromised renal function has not been studied.
In standard, preclinical in vivo lifetime carcinogenicity studies of LYRICA, an unexpectedly high incidence of hemangiosarcoma was identified in 2 different strains of mice. The clinical significance of this finding is unknown. In clinical studies across various patient populations comprising 6396 patient-years of exposure in patients greater than 12 years of age, new or worsening preexisting tumors were reported in 57 patients.
