LORD NARASIMHA is the fourth avatar of Lord Vishnu. In his half-human half-lion, he was planned to free the globe and lessen the sufferings of fans symbolizing fight alongside evil and cruelty. Lord Narayana is measured to be the source of the additional transcendental forms of God.
As said by Agni Purana 48.13, from Narayana, Vasudeva is obvious, and from Vasudeva, Sankarsana is patent. He is suggestively worshipped through Vaishnavi is as the 'Great Guardian.' Also as said by the scriptures, Lord Narasimha is amsha, development of Narayana.
The Agni, Brahmanda, Padma, Shiva, Linga, Vayu, Matsya, Skandaplus Vishnu Purana hails Narasimha avatar. Lord Narasimha is furthermore stated in the Mahabaratha. Rig Veda mentions to Vishnu's potentials as Narasimha being 'several wild beasts, dread, raiding, and mountain wandering'. In development theory, this avatar imitates the alteration of the animal to man.
Narasimha story is ironic with symbolism. The transmission of work in each avatar-plus converting from one divinity to another is not astonishing. It is a statement of the one form of the Ultimate Being taking numerous forms. God is the whole thing and everything is God.
There is an extensive verse in Sapthapatha Brahma explanation the avatars. The summarized version of this belief is restricted in Matsya Purana. The Lord establishes when virtue is at stake. Narasimha avatar is a demo of readiness in the face of adversative circumstances.
Brahma's benefit is overcome through the Lord circumventing the benefit; the aid anticipated by the fan. At the metaphysical level, semi-animal signifies the Jeevatmaplus the semi-lion, the Paramatma.
The idea of 'Mriga-sharia' displays a natural merge between the two; 'mriga' sense animal. Prahalada is a pointer of the bhakti path. He displays absolute devotion. One may be born as an expert, but there is an improvement if one has faith plus the readiness to brush up character.
Prahalada is a flawless instance of Sara naga Thi – surrender. It took much for Ma Lakshmi toward cool down Narasimha; the worldwide motherhood love plus balancing by female energy of the Lord's divine energy.
9. Lakshmi Narasimha also recognized as Malola Narasimha otherwise Prahalad – varada Narasimhathrough Lakshmi on his lap plus blessing Prahalada.
in Andhra Pradesh is the single place in India wherever all nine shapes of Lord Narasimha. Nava Narasimha is venerated in Narasimha Swami Shrine there. Ahovalam is said to be the place wherever Lord Vishnu recognized the Narasimha avatar plus where the Lord murdered Hiranyakasipuplus GoddessPrahalada.
Goddess Mahalakshmiseizedavathar as Senjulakshmiamongst the Senju, tribal stalkers of the hills, and wedded the Lord. The temple contains nine monuments to Lord Nrisimha situated around a 5 KM circle. In adding to the nine monuments, there is a shrine for Prahaladavarada Varadhan in the hills of the app.
Seemingly Garuda wished for a dream of Narasimha avatar. To accomplish his wish, the Lord Narasimha steady in the hills round Ahobilam in the middle of dense woods in nine diverse forms. Therefore the hills are named as Garudadri, Garudachalam, as well as Garudasailam. Thirumangai Azhvaar has changed ten verses around this shrine in Periya Thirumozhi.
There are influential mantras for looking for defense from Lord Vishnu's half-lion avatar and His weaponry. These are for defense from such stuff as malicious spirits and material needs, as well as augmented devoutness and a peaceable world.


The Health and Social Care (HSC) Act was passed in March 2012 and came into effect on April 1st 2013. GP led CCGs (Clinical Commissioning Groups) became responsible for the NHS budget and are now compelled to use competition as a means of improving NHS services. To most of us this seems like a good thing at first glance. Many of us are unaware of what this really means. To help public awareness, here is my 'Elevator Pitch' on NHS reforms. An Elevator Pitch is a summary of a concept or argument, short enough to be delivered between floors in an elevator. In the UK, we might call this a Lift Pitch.
The NHS is one of the most efficient healthcare systems in the world. It provides universal, comprehensive healthcare to EVERYONE. Healthcare is free at the point of delivery. We do not run the risk of personal bankruptcy when we fall ill. NHS hospitals are run on a non-profit basis where savings are reinvested in healthcare. Clinical outcomes are excellent. The US spends 2.4 times more on health per person than the UK, yet Britons live longer than Americans. Despite these achievements, the NHS has come under significant attack in the media. Budget cuts at a time when the NHS is at its most efficient have led to staffing shortages and ultimately problems outlined in the Francis Report.
The HSC Act 2012 removes the Secretary of State's legal obligation to provide or secure healthcare for everyone. The NHS is also now subject to EU Competition law. Section 75 (being debated in the House of Lords today) compels CCGs to invite bids for all health services from ALL willing providers. This leads to a free market based system where expensive tendering processes will consume much of the CCG budgets and time. In the US, administration costs account for 20% of healthcare expenses, three times higher than in the UK.
Healthcare providers will compete against each other for the contracts. This may improve some services. However, barriers between primary care and hospitals will move us away from integration and data sharing. There is a risk that profit making organisations will cherry pick lucrative contracts, leaving difficult and expensive services to non-profit organisations. The irony is that a last minute amendment to the HSC Act makes this even more likely. The amendment declares that the only services NOT subject to competition law are those which can ONLY be provided by a current provider (most likely to be complex, expensive services).
As NHS budgets become tighter and healthcare becomes more expensive (largely as a result of spiraling administrative costs), the NHS is likely to change from a mostly single payer (government funded) system to a US style multiple payer healthcare system, what Don Berwick refers to as a 'zoo of payment streams'. We only have to look to the US to see how our healthcare system might look in a few years.

Today reached 90 degrees and I was craving ALL things summery. I never crave heavy food in the heat- is anyone else like that? Bring on the iced tea and the fresh fruits and vegetables.
Harmless Harvest Coconut Water is my newest ADDICTION! I never understood the coconut water fad. I mean- drinking out of a coconut on an island sounds pretty bomb- but the cartons of coconut water always grossed me out. AND recently I found out they did for a good reason! Brands like Zico & Vita Coco are heated at a high temperature killing off all of the nutrients and the delicious taste. This brand- Harmless Harvest is completely raw, organic and literally the most delicious water ever. I am craving it now just typing about it…and I had one earlier today! Coconut water is super hydrating and gives you a little bit of natural sugar- which is GOOD, especially after a work out.
♥ It contains 13% of your daily potassium in just one cup!
♥ It contains a compound called cytokinins which slow down aging!

WARD-SMITH, A. J. Aerobic and anaerobic energy conversion during high-intensity exercise. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 31, No. 12, pp. 1855–1860, 1999.
The aim of the study is to compare data on anaerobic and aerobic energy conversion during exercise of high intensity leading to exhaustion. Several different data sources are used, including data extracted from mathematical analyses of world and Olympic running records, data from laboratory tests, and data based on biochemical information.
Theoretical relationships are derived and comparisons are made of the ratio of aerobic to total energy contributions as functions of time.
The ratio is shown to depend not only on the duration of the high-intensity exercise but also in part on a factor λ, which governs the rate of anaerobic and aerobic energy release. A further important factor is the value of the parameter Q/ λ, which is the ratio of anaerobic capacity to maximum sustainable aerobic power. Values in the range 55 s <Q/ λ < 72 s and 0.030 s−1 < λ < 0.042 s−1 are shown to provide the best correlation of data. The results indicate that the ratio of maximal anaerobic power to maximum aerobic power lies in the range from 2.0 to 2.6.
Data extracted from the mathematical models of running are generally more consistent than the body of experimental data. This may indicate that the inherent difficulties of laboratory techniques relating to the measurement of anaerobic energy conversion are giving rise to significant experimental errors.
The present paper is concerned with high-intensity exercise, that is, exercise that either leads to exhaustion or if continued would lead to exhaustion. During such vigorous exercise, measurements of pulmonary oxygen uptake and the carbon dioxide content of expired gas are relatively straightforward and so both the build-up and subsequent quasi-steady energy contributions associated with aerobic metabolism are readily quantifiable. In contrast, the magnitude of the energy contribution from anaerobic metabolism is far more difficult to determine (2,13). Experimental techniques involve one of two basic kinds of measurement. In the direct approach the depletion of ATP and phosphocreatine and the increase in lactate production in muscle are measured. In the indirect approach, information on anaerobic metabolism is inferred from measurements of oxygen consumption during exercise. This latter approach has been widely used (3,7,9,12) to determine anaerobic capacity, which is inferred from the measurement of maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD). Both the direct and indirect techniques are subject to difficulties of interpretation. In particular, the results of the direct technique cannot readily be related to whole-body energy conversion (3).
One of many forms of vigorous exercise is competitive running, and the body of track statistics that exist, particularly those relating to world record and Olympic performances, provides a further method of gaining insights into anaerobic metabolism. This is an important source of data which does not appear to have been exploited by physiologists. In recent years several successful mathematical analyses of running have been published. The mathematical analyses can be subdivided into two distinct categories: i) those based on Newton's laws of motion, and ii) those based on satisfying the first law of thermodynamics. The second group is of interest in the present context. These mathematical methods model running performance by setting down the contributions to the whole-body energy balance during running. In conformity with the first law of thermodynamics, the energy released by chemical conversion in the muscles, which passes through a number of intermediate phases, must ultimately be accounted for either in the form of external mechanical work or as mechanical energy degraded into thermal energy. The latter quantity is also referred to simply as heat loss or heat production and is often expressed by sports physiologists in terms of the energy cost of running. Several successful analyses based on the bioenergetics of running and covering distances from 60 m up to the marathon distance have been put forward to study the performance of male and female athletes (5,11,15,16). More focused studies have also been published; van Ingen Schenau et al. (14) have analyzed sprinting, and di Prampero et al. (4). have investigated middle-distance running. In direct methods of analysis, running performance can be predicted by substituting appropriate physiological data into theoretical relationships describing mathematical models of running; in the inverse process, the mathematical model of running is used to deduce physiological data from running performance. These types of analysis are remarkably successful. For example, Peronnet and Thibault (11) correlated 1987 male world records covering 16 different distances from 60 m to 42195 m (the marathon), with a maximum percentage error between actual and estimated running times of 2.3% (at 3000 m), and an average absolute error of only 0.73%. Inherent in all these methods of analysis is the separate estimation of the aerobic and anaerobic contributions to the energy balance for each race distance, embracing short distances, dominated by anaerobic metabolism, to long-distance endurance running, for which aerobic metabolism is the principal energy source. Because there is excellent agreement between prediction and track performance, there are good grounds for confidence that the aerobic and anaerobic energy contributions are modeled with considerable precision.
The purpose of this paper is to extract information on anaerobic and aerobic metabolism from published mathematical analyses of world record and Olympic running performances, including short-duration through to endurance events (4,5,11,14–16). This information will be compared with data from a variety of other sources, including laboratory measurements and estimates from biochemical data. The data assembled here are applicable to those forms of exercise dominated by the musculature of the legs, i.e., running, cycling, skating, cycle ergometry, and treadmill running. It is worth noting that other forms of exercise, such as weight-lifting, swimming, and rowing, can involve the utilization of musculature in the upper body and/or arms to perform external work. Consequently, during the first few seconds of exercise, greater levels of anaerobic energy conversion take place within the body than in the forms of exercise considered here.
Mathematical relationships for aerobic and anaerobic energy release.
We define Caer as the energy contribution from aerobic metabolism. Based on the experimental work reported by Margaria (6) and others, the rate of aerobic energy release under conditions of maximum steady mechanical power output can be written in the form of an exponential relationship as MATH 1 For competitive running races, provides an accurate description of the kinetics of aerobic metabolism and here R is interpreted as the steady-state maximum sustainable power available from aerobic metabolism, measured relative to the resting state, λ1 is a parameter governing the rate of aerobic energy release, and t is the time from the start of high energy expenditure. Defining T as the time required to run a distance X, it has been found that the maximum sustainable aerobic power is equal to the maximum aerobic power for T in the range 0 <T <Tmap. Peronnet and Thibault (11) adopted a value for Tmap of 420 s. For running times in excess of Tmap the maximum sustainable aerobic power progressively declines.
Different energy utilization strategies are used by athletes, depending on running distance. For short sprints over 100 m and 200 m, an athlete exerts maximum effort throughout the period of running to capitalize as quickly as possible on the high initial power levels available from anaerobic metabolism. For most other distances, certainly those greater than about 800 m, the optimal utilization of the available energy, both aerobic and anaerobic, is brought about by minimizing the energy expenditure terms in the overall energy balance. This minimum corresponds to running at constant speed.
During the first few seconds of vigorous exercise, there are anaerobic energy contributions from the utilization of phosphocreatine and oxygen-independent glycolysis. A small amount of energy is also provided by the endogenous ATP store in muscle (13). So far, the kinetics of these energy contributions during the first one or two seconds of exertion have defied both accurate measurement and precise mathematical representation. However, the build-up of oxygen-dependent glycolysis takes place very rapidly and is fully active within the first few seconds from the start of high-intensity exercise. Beyond this initial period, mathematical relations have been proposed to describe the overall energy conversion associated with anaerobic metabolism. We define Can as the energy contribution from anaerobic metabolism. Based on theoretical considerations, the rate of energy release by anaerobic metabolism under conditions of maximum exertion can be represented (15) by a general relation of the form MATH 2 In this equation, Pmax represents the maximum power available from anaerobic metabolism, and λ2 is a parameter governing the rate of anaerobic energy release. Because the contributions from endogenous ATP and phosphocreatine are both transitory and a small proportion of the total anaerobic energy yield, best describes the period when oxygen-independent glycolysis prevails. Nevertheless, the relation can conveniently be used as an approximation for all t > 0. It must be recognized, however, that the relationship breaks down at t = 0, since the relationship implies that maximum anaerobic power is established instantaneously, whereas in practice it takes a finite time, albeit no more than a second or two, for the power to build up to a maximum. Also, because of the particular musculature activated, the relationship used here is applicable to running, etc., but not to activities such as weightlifting or rowing. Hence the quantity Pmax defined above is an approximate indication of the maximum anaerobic power generated by a sprinter, but it is unrepresentative of the power generated by, say, a weightlifter. Incorporating ideas advanced by Margaria (6), namely, that the buildup of aerobic power and the decline of anaerobic power are inter-related, Ward-Smith (15) also argued that equations 1 and 2 could be simplified with the substitution λ1 = λ2 = λ. However for the purposes of generality this paper initially considers the condition λ1 ≠ λ2.
Although originally justified by theoretical arguments (15), the mathematical expressions 1 and 2 for the aerobic and anaerobic powers in terms of the exponential function have received confirmation from two separate sources. First, there is the experimental work of van Ingen Schenau et al. (14). Three elite sprinters performed supramaximal tests using a cycle ergometer, and these test results were correlated (14) using equations 1 and 2 with values for λ1 of 0.0384 s−1 for the aerobic power and λ2 = 0.0403 s−1 for the anaerobic power, respectively. The difference between these values is less than 5%. For the five elite skaters tested in the same program, values for λ1 of 0.0384 s−1 for the aerobic power and λ2 = 0.0379 s−1 for the anaerobic power were obtained. The closeness of these values can be interpreted as providing support for the theoretical arguments for the use of a single value of λ applicable to both the aerobic and anaerobic contributions. Second, the successful incorporation of equations 1 and 2 into mathematical models of running provides further confidence in their reliability as models of the kinetics of both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism. Excellent correlations of predicted and actual running times have been obtained (5,11,15,16), indicating that the overall energy balances are accurately described. Furthermore, there is a particularly sensitive test of the mathematical integrity of the term describing anaerobic metabolism. The velocity-time history of an athlete running over the course of a 100-m event has been modeled (15); not only is the acceleration phase of the athlete's progress reproduced but so also is the decline in running speed resulting from fatigue during the latter stages of the sprint. The ability to reproduce these detailed characteristics of sprinting is further evidence that the mathematical models describe the overall kinetics of anaerobic and aerobic metabolism very adequately. It is recognized, however, that there is scope for further detailed improvements in the mathematical modeling, in particular replacing by an expression that more accurately reflects conditions for small values of t.
Special case for R, Pmax, λ1 and λ2 independent of t.
If R and λ1 are independent of t, integration of between the limits t = 0 and t =T yields the energy provided by aerobic metabolism MATH 3 where R is, in general, a function of T but does not depend on t. For the large T applicable to middle- and long-distance running, exp( −λ1 T) → 0 and in the limit simplifies to MATH 4 If Pmax and λ2 are independent of t, integration of between the limits t = 0 and t =T yields the energy provided by anaerobic metabolism MATH 5 which, for large T, can be represented by MATH 6 where E0 is the anaerobic capacity. Combination of equations 3 and 5 yields MATH 7 where Ctot= Caer+ Can and MATH 8
simplifies in certain circumstances. If λ1 = λ2 = λ then is replaced by MATH 9 Furthermore for large T, which in practice means for T greater than about 150 s, exp (- λT) → 0, and then reduces to MATH 10 Most of the models of running considered previously in this paper employ the above mathematical formulations of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, equations 1, 2, 3, and 5. Ward-Smith (15), di Prampero et al. (4), and Ward-Smith and Mobey (16) use these formulas and also take λ1 = λ2 = λ. van Ingen Schenau et al. (14) use equations 1 and 2 with λ1 ≠ λ2. Finally the method of Peronnet and Thibault (11) is broadly based on this approach but incorporates some modifications in the detail.
Variation of anaerobic and aerobic energy contributions with time.
The energy contributions from aerobic and anaerobic metabolism defined in existing mathematical models of running applied to the performance of male athletes (4,11,14,15) are considered here. Excluded from consideration are the work of Ward-Smith and Mobey (16), which relates to female athletes, and the mathematical method of Lloyd (5), which does not readily lend itself to precise compartmentalisation of the two terms. The results, which relate to elite male athletes, are presented in Table 1 in the form of running time T and the ratio (Caer/Ctot) × 100, as a function of running distance. Here Ctot =Caer+ Can where Caer and Can are the energy contributions from aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, respectively. The precise sources of the data are as follows. Column 1: Ward-Smith (15), extracted from Table 5; Column 2: Peronnet and Thibault (11), extracted from Table 1; Column 3: van Ingen Schenau et al. (14), computed by integration of power terms in ; Column 4: di Prampero et al. (4), compartmentalization of . For comparison data from Newsholme et al. (10), based on biochemical information, are given in Column 5.
The ratio of energy from aerobic metabolism to total energy (%) as a function of time from the initiation of vigorous exercise.
Measurements of the ratio of energy from aerobic metabolism to total energy as a function of time have been reported (3,7–9,12). The subjects of these five studies had backgrounds different from the elite athletes to whom the mathematical studies applied. Medbo and Tabata (10) studied "17 healthy men." Bangsbo et al. (3) studied eight healthy males, all habitually physically active but none trained for competition. The subjects of the investigation of Scott et al. (12) included three sprinters, five middle-distance athletes, four distance runners, all of NCAA Division I standard, plus four healthy college-aged males with no active participation in track and field athletics. McArdle et al. (8) quote the results of cycle ergometer tests, but the background of the subjects investigated is not described. Finally, the subjects of Maxwell and Nimmo (7) were "18 male students from a variety of sporting backgrounds." Medbo and Tabata (9), Bangsbo et al. (3), and McArdle et al. (8) all measured the energy ratio (Caer/Ctot) at specific intervals of time after the start of vigorous exercise; their results are set out in Table 2.
The ratio of energy from aerobic metabolism to total energy (%), as a function of time from the initiation of vigorous exercise. Experimentally-determined data.
On the other hand, the test methods of Scott et al. (12) and Maxwell and Nimmo (7) involved the measurement of the ratio (Caer/Ctot) over a range of times extending between 120 s and 180 s, so their results are not sufficiently precise for inclusion in the present analysis. Nevertheless, the data from these two sources display broad general consistency with the trends of other data. Scott et al. (12) measured values of (Caer/Ctot) in the range between 61% and 70% for T in the range between 120 s and 180 s, while Maxwell and Nimmo (7) derived a value of 64% for (Caer/Ctot), corresponding to a range of T between 120 s and 180 s. Also included in Table 2 are the estimates of the variation of the ratio (Caer/Ctot) with time T, made by Astrand and Rodahl (1), based on the scientific evidence available at that time.
Three of the four mathematical models considered in Table 1 yield very consistent results. The odd one out is the method of van Ingen Schenau et al. (14) which, although it is restricted to short distances, clearly overestimates the role of anaerobic metabolism. The authors were aware that their method could not be applied to longer running distances, and Table 1 indicates that this is a result of the shortcomings in the modeling of the relative contributions of the anaerobic and aerobic mechanisms. The remaining data from mathematical modeling exhibit the same general trends as the biochemical data although, overall, the latter results exhibit a greater dependency on anaerobic metabolism, which is further emphasized if the data from Table 1 of their paper is substituted for the value from Table 2 used here.
Figure 1 brings together for comparison: (a) data derived from the mathematical models of running, Table 1; (b) the experimental data from Table 2, and (c) the estimates produced by Astrand and Rodahl (1), also set out in Table 2. Also shown in Figure 1 are curves derived from . The mathematical data indicate the spread of results from three analyses (4,11,15) of the running performance of male elite athletes, but with the data of van Ingen Schenau et al. (14), which exhibit different trends (see Table 1), excluded. The mathematical data indicate a good internal consistency, whereas detailed examination of the experimental data shows that they encompass a wide spread of values, with the disparity between the various results particularly evident at T = 30 s, where the measurements span values of (Caer/Ctot) from 20% to 40%. Also evident from Figure 1 for values of T < 100 s, is the fact that the experimental data display values of (Caer/Ctot) significantly higher than the figures derived from the mathematical analysis of running performance. This may indicate that the experimental techniques are underestimating the anaerobic contribution inferred from measurements of MAOD. A comparison of the data from running performance analysis with the estimates of Astrand and Rodahl (1) indicates that the data of Astrand and Rodahl overestimate the aerobic contribution for T < 10 s, and overestimate the anaerobic contribution for T > 100 s.

For running times below 50 s, corresponding to distances below 400 m, anaerobic metabolism is the dominant contribution to the overall energy account, whereas above 100 s, corresponding to a distance of about 800 m, aerobic metabolism makes the greater contribution to energy requirements. Over the very limited range of running times between 50 s and 100 s, or distances between 400 m and 800 m, there is a dramatic change in dependency from anaerobic metabolism to aerobic metabolism.
The ratio of maximum anaerobic power to maximum sustainable aerobic power, denoted by Q and defined in , varies to some extent from one individual to another; furthermore it depends on an athlete's specialization. Consequently, it is in general a function of T. This is easily demonstrated from the mathematical analysis of world records. Sprinting performance is particularly dependent on anaerobic metabolism, so sprinters have higher values of Q than middle and long-distance runners. With increase in running distance, athletes depend increasingly on aerobic metabolism, so Q decreases with increase in running distance and T. However, for running distances beyond 10,000 m, an athlete cannot rely solely on the aerobic conversion of glycogen, and free fatty acids become increasingly important. Under such conditions the value of maximum sustainable aerobic power declines, and so once again the value of Q tends to increase with increasing T. These trends are qualitatively consistent with the measurements of Scott et al. (12), who tested athletes on a treadmill for 2 to 3 min, and obtained average values for the ratio (Caer/Ctot) ranging from 61% for sprinters, through 63% for middle distance runners, to 70% for long-distance runners. A control group of individuals who did not participate in sport had an average value of 66%.
The solution to , for three different combinations of Q and λ, is plotted on Figure 1 for comparison with the various data points. A more detailed examination of the solution of for different values of Q and λ reveals that, besides the obvious and fundamental effect of T, the most important variables defining curves which are broadly consistent with the data points are λ and Q/ λ, but not Q itself.
Taking λ = λ2, and combining equations 6 and 8, we obtain MATH 11 showing that Q/ λ, which has the dimensions of time, is the ratio of anaerobic capacity to maximum sustainable aerobic power. Broadly, curves for Q/ λ ≈ 40 s provide an upper bound to the majority of the mathematical and experimental data, while the value Q/ λ ≈ 100 s defines the lower bound. Provided Q/ λ is in the identified range, values for λ between 0.03 s−1 and 0.05 s−1 give results within the defining envelope. The data derived from the main group of mathematical analyses fall within a tighter envelope defined by the approximate range 55 s <Q/ λ < 72 s. It can now be seen why the results of van Ingen Schenau et al. (14), which correspond to Q/ λ of about 130 s, do not conform to the remaining data from mathematical models. A good average fit for the ratio (Caer/Ctot) is given by evaluating , taking Q = 2.5 and λ = 0.04 s−1 .
Although di Prampero et al. (4) incorporate a value for λ of 0.1 s−1, other results (11,14,15) for λ appear to be converging toward the more restricted range between 0.03 s−1 and 0.042 s−1 corresponding to an average value of about 0.036 s−1. These data suggest that Q, the ratio of maximal anaerobic power to maximum sustainable aerobic power, is in the range 2.0 < Q < 2.6, a result which is consistent with the view (13) that the magnitude of Q lies between 2 and 4.
A study has been made of the anaerobic and aerobic contributions to energy conversion during intense exercise. It is shown that data derived from mathematical analyses of world and Olympic running records are a valuable resource that can be used to supplement data obtained experimentally. If the results of van Ingen Schenau et al. (14) are excluded, data from other mathematical models of running (4,11,15) are more consistent than the body of experimental data. There are three factors contributing to this difference. First, the mathematical models of running are internally highly consistent; second, the subjects of the mathematical analyses, world and Olympic record holders, are a more homogeneous group than the rather disparate range of experimental subjects; and third, there are inherent difficulties in the experimental techniques. It is shown that the ratio (Caer/Ctot) depends principally on T, λ, and the parameter Q/ λ, which is the ratio of anaerobic capacity to maximum sustainable aerobic power. Values in the range 55 s <Q/ λ < 72 s and 0.030 s−1< λ < 0.0.042 s−1 provide the best correlation of data. The analysis indicates that the ratio of maximal anaerobic power to maximum sustainable aerobic power lies in the range of 2.0 to 2.6.

One of the 11 Forgotten Laws and regulations is not only the Loa. There's even the Law of Sacrifice, based on Bob Proctor, a star from the movie "The Key" who teaches that "The Key" was incomplete in the own teachings since it only centered on the main one Loa and almost totally overlooked another 10 "forgotten" Cosmic Laws and regulations which are also required to make attraction work.
Yes, you heard right–most will not. Many people are simply too lazy to complete the job that it requires to visit after what they need. Many more fear so much failing. And others just not have the will to persist if something does not arrived at them overnight. These folks want the Laws and regulations to imply that they never need to work with anything again or they believe the Laws and regulations work as being a scriptural miracle or perhaps a magic concoction. Individuals who fear so much dealing with what the law states of Sacrifice simply because they think they might fail just don't accept the validity from the Laws and regulations to begin with.
The Laws and regulations will work for individuals constantly–in both ways they enjoy or ways in which they do not like, for the way conscious, aware, and sincere from the Universal Laws and regulations they're. Only one factor we have seen everywhere: many people will not spend the money for necessary cost to reside their fantasies and get their dreams, no matter whether they recognize the Laws and regulations.
If you wish to have lots of money and choose the Loa and yet another Laws and regulations to create it to your existence, do you consider that all you need to do is close your vision and spend thirty minutes each day fantasizing about getting buckets filled with hundred dollar bills? You are able to attract these funds–but you are going to need to work with it. The Laws and regulations don't let you have that which you don't earn.
Now, so maybe how a World will get you that cash is thru a apparently "easy" coincidence or gift. Maybe you will find out that the uncle was ill and died, but broke up with you $500,000 in tax-free existence insurance proceeds while he loved you. But, if this sounds like the type of means by which your hard earned money comes, I promise this: your projects starts now. You need to put that cash to operate within an intelligent way, or it'll evaporate like smoke very quickly whatsoever. You most likely will not have a cent from it left in only one year's time, after which where are you? It had been no much better than a Universal welfare and-out–and welfare isn't any method to become prosperous, for this kills the spirit.

Q: Angular 6 FormGroup.disable() method is not working with my template driven NgForm When I try to use the disable method on a formGroup in my Angular 6 app , I get this error in the browser console :

TypeError: this.personForm.disable is not a function

Although the method is mentioned in the documentation & it is even suggested by VS Code as in this snapshot.
My code is here:
// ... many parts skipped, the form here is template driven
// but still personForm is a FormGroup ,
// I am trying to disable the whole FormGroup with all child elements
@ViewChild('personForm') personForm: FormGroup;

        if (true) {
       // if I console.log here the form, I can see it is created already
         console.log(this.personForm);
// output of console.log is
// NgForm {submitted: false, _directives: Array(0), ngSubmit: EventEmitter, form: FormGroup}

         this.personForm.disable();
        }

What is the problem here ?
UPDATE 1:
I have created a stackblitz to show the issue
here is the link for that demo
UPDATE 2:
As the error is not shown on initial loading, if you remove the this.firstStepForm.disable(); & rewrite it , you will get the error, but anyway the behavior is not correct, the form field is not disabled as expected
Also, refreshing the browser part in the stackblitz will show an error snackbar

A: The form object that you have created using template driven approach is of type NgForm and not FormGroup
There is a form attribute inside ngForm object which is actually of type FormGroup.
So you should be doing
this.personForm.form.disable()

EDIT :
You have to move your code to AfterViewChecked life cycle hook event, since your formGroup wont be ready ngAfterViewChecked() is triggered.
ngAfterViewChecked() {
      console.log(this.personForm.form);
      this.personForm.form.disable();
      this.cdr.detectChanges();
}

And also postpone the change detection to avoid expression changed error  using ChangeDetectorRef.
DEMO

A: I have discovered the reason for this error:
This form is made in the html template using ngForm, then I used ViewChild to get hold of the form in the typescript file, I noticed that I made that object of type FormGroup but ngForm is different than FormGroup (in my use cases it wasn't clear) that is why the FormGroup disable method is not working on the ngForm
Note:
(VS code is suggesting it as my type for that variable is FormGroup which is misleading the editor to give me that suggestion)
Thanks for everyone who tried to help.
Update:
In case someone is reluctant to depend on detectChanges() like me
& Building upon the excellent Answer of Amit , we can disable the NgForm in this AfterContentChecked to avoid using detectChanges()
  // instead of disabling here & using cdr.detectChanges()

  // ngAfterViewChecked() {
  //     console.log(this.personForm.form);
  //     this.personForm.form.disable();
  //     this.cdr.detectChanges();
  // }

  // we can put our disable here
  ngAfterContentChecked() {
    this.personForm.form.disable();
  }

Dan Patrick: No 'small ball on tax relief'
By Patrick Svitek on January 27, 2015 at 10:48 AM
The Texas Tribune's Evan Smith (left) interviews Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (right) Tuesday in Austin. Patrick told Smith he is "not playing small ball on tax relief," even in light of plunging oil prices. (Source: Texas Tribune screenshot)
AUSTIN — Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Tuesday flatly denied a downturn in oil prices has tempered his hopes for tax relief this session, rebuffing a Republican colleague who had suggested major cuts would be difficult.
"I'm not playing small ball on tax relief," Patrick said during an interview with the Texas Tribune's Evan Smith.
Smith had asked Patrick about recent comments by a freshman senator close to him — Paul Bettencourt, a Houston Republican — that said the upper chamber may have to focus on "small ball" tax cuts instead "grand slam home runs" amid plunging oil prices.
Weighing in on more recent news, Patrick elaborated on his decision-making process for committee appointments, saying they reflected his belief that freshmen should have a "bigger role." The upper chamber convened earlier this month with eight new members.
That was one factor Patrick said he considered when he named freshman Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, to lead the agriculture panel, a previous iteration of which was chaired by Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls. Estes was the only Republican who did not vote Wednesday on a package of rules changes championed by Patrick.
"I wouldn't say it's a coincidence, but it wasn't the sole and only reason," Patrick said when asked about a potential connection between Estes abstaining to vote and losing a chairmanship.
The committee appointments capped an inaugural week during which Patrick presided over the Senate as it fulfilled one of his campaign promises and eliminated the two-thirds rule. But just in case anyone saw the flurry of activity as evidence of a hankering for higher office, Patrick made clear he would like to spend more than one term in his current position.
"I hope to run and win again and return as lieutenant governor," Patrick said while discussing his long-term vision for the structure of committees.
Patrick was less certain on another topic related to the future: whether he would support former Gov. Rick Perry or U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for president in 2016. Patrick said he is rooting for "best conservative president we can have and it'd be great if we can have a Texan."

This Aguila's Super Extra 22 LR ammo features copper plated round nose projectiles and Eley Primers for consistent and accurate performance. These 22 caliber rounds are ideal for target practice, plinking and hunting small game.
Aguila ammo is manufactured by TECNOS Ammunition. TECNOS Ammunition has manufactured and marketed Aguila both domestically and internationally since 1961. Aguila is well known for its high quality and guaranteed accuracy. Known as a dependable ammunition, Aguila's established reputation is due to TECNOS' strict quality control system and highly advanced technological equipment. Aguila currently specializes in rimfire, shotshells, and centerfire ammunition..
The only brand I use. Highly recommend using this brand.
used in 10/22,marlin 60 and revolver and they love these pretty little cartridges.0 problems with this cheap round and ive shoot a whole lot of them.
IMO this is essentially the Mexican version CCI Stingers and or Mini-Mags for less $$$. I cannot think of a better performance/value in this particular caliber.
started shooting this stuff only because it was the only .22 ammo I could get my hands on but it's worked so well for my wife and I that we seek it out these days. It smells a little different but its good, reliable and accurate stuff and we shoot between 800 and 1200 rounds of it each month between us.
I've been buying Aguila for about 10 years and have had no problems. My accuracy has improved. This is the only round I buy anymore.
Eley priming smells "wierd" but these fire every time and are above average in accuracy. They might be a little dirtier than some premium ammo but at this price point and being available I'll buy all I can get!
These rounds are reasonable and accurate. Unless they have suffered a QC problem due to overly rapid manufacturing to get in on the "Ammo-Craze" that's emptying American shelves..... Have had great luck with these in my (3) 10/22s and 2 bolt-actions. The bolts can hold 1.5 MOA or less, all day long at 100 yrds, the 10/22s are a mixed lot from a 16" carbine to a 26" special, their results vary with Bbl length.
I also like them in my pistols, from PT22 , GSG 1911, to the old 4-22, they cycle just fine and accuracy is limited only by the shooters skill level. When I see these? I BUY THEM. Yes, they smell a little "wierd" and are a bit dirtier than some other ammo, but when you shoot SK it's all slimy and that leads to other types of issues. So "Just chootem!" and enjoy being able to...... for now.
We also have this 22 LR - 40 Grain CPRN - Aguila - Super Extra - 500 Rounds ammo in stock in a bigger quantity.

Dr. Scolastico shows you how to enter this realm at any time by using a 7-step process for shifting from the energy frequency of daily life to the energy frequency of your soul. This method, called "attunement", will enable you to tune in to your soul level of awareness so that you may focus your mind, emotions and intentions on attaining deep spiritual insight.
Most importantly, you'll learn how to make the shift from thinking about spiritual realities to actually experiencing this profound realm for yourself.

DDA Night at the Nat: Win Vancouver Canadians Tickets
Comments 37 by Rebecca Bollwitt Thursday, July 5th, 2012 — 11:09am PDT
The Developmental Disabilities Association is sponsoring their 5th annual Vancouver Canadians game this summer. The Canadians, known for their community promotions and support of local non-profits are a great partner for the DDA, which is dedicated to raising funds and awareness in support of children and adults with a developmental disability.
"In 1952, twelve parents of children with developmental disabilities came together to work towards integrating their children into public schools. By the 1990's, that parent group, called the Vancouver-Richmond Association for Mentally Handicapped People, had become Canada's largest charitable society of its kind west of Toronto. In 1998, recognizing changes in society, the wishes of its members, and its expanded role in the community, the Association changed its name; it is now the Developmental Disabilities Association…" [more history…]
DDA's Night at the Nat will take place Wednesday, July 25, 2012 when the team takes on the Everett Aquasox. Tickets are just $12.50 and proceeds will suppose their work in the community. You can purchase tickets on-site with a cheque made out to the Developmental Disabilities Trust to make a direct donation or email jsmith[at]develop.bc.ca.
Donation bins will also be parked outside Nat Bailey Stadium. Through recycling items received in these bins (which can be found all around Metro Vancouver) the DDA is able to continue funding programs and services.
How to recycle with DDA:
Bins: Drop clothing, bottles, and more items in bins as-marked.
Pick-up: Have household items picked up (toys, games, dishes, records, stationary etc.)
Drop-off: Donate anything from couches to tools at the Donation Station at 2643 No. 5 Road in Richmond.
The DDA is a cause close to my heart and they were kind enough to give me a tour of some of their facilities a few years ago. They have graciously offered up a pair of tickets to their special evening at the ballpark — here's how you can enter to win:

Visa waiver leads to spike in bookings to Brazil
Brazil's visa waiver policy announced in March is already generating positive results. Recent data from a study done by Amadeus Group shows a significant increase in the number of reservations made in the United States, as well as in Canada, Japan and Australia, the other three other countries benefiting from the new policy. Amadeus is one of the 10 largest technology companies in the world and one of the three largest in the travel segment.
In the United States, the increase was 53% in the number of trips confirmed for June and 97% in July compared to the same period of last year. In Canada, growth was 86% for June, 54% for July and, expressive, 135% for August this year.
"The numbers show that visa exemptions for strategic countries are a good measure, which generates jobs and income in Brazil. It is time for the country to take advantage of all its tourism potential", said Marcelo Alvaro Antonio, the Brazilian Minister of Tourism.
Here are some suggestions of amazing destinations in Brazil for all tastes:
•	Historic Cities: If you like your vacations with a heavy dose of culture, Brazil should definitely be on your list. We have several historic cities, with a heritage dating back to its colonial period. In Minas Gerais State, you can find cities like Ouro Preto and Diamantina – the center of gold mining in Brazil in the 18th century. In the Northeast state of Bahia, you will find Salvador, the first capital of Brazil, and a city that also has a rich history of its African heritage. A few miles from Salvador, in the State of Pernambuco, you will find the city of Olinda. Founded by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the city is linked to the sugar cane industry, with gorgeous Baroque churches, convents, and views to die for.
•	Sun and Beach: With more than four thousand miles of coast, its exuberant nature bordering the beaches with coconut trees, and tropical forests, Brazil has options for all travelers looking to spend time outdoors. Most know the famous urban beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis or Fortaleza, but there are also small beach towns like Trancoso, Boipeba, and Jericoacoara that can offer unique spots to get a tan. You can even find a stretch of sand in the Amazon, in the beaches near Manaus, along the Rio Negro.
•	National Parks: Brazil's natural beauties go beyond beaches and forests. The country is also blessed with great diversity, which includes waterfalls, canyons, wetlands and many different types of ecosystems throughout its many national parks. Think- Iguazu Falls, one of the most important forest reserves in South America. Another highlight is the Pantanal, in the central region of the country, home to hundreds of endangered species. And of course, the Amazon Rainforest.

Machu Picchu Pueblo: First 100% sustainable Latin America city
Machu Picchu Pueblo is the first city in Latin America to sustainably manage 100% of its solid waste.
Through the process of pyrolysis, in which the waste is decomposed at high temperatures without oxygen, 7 tons of trash is processed per day, generating bio-coal, a natural fertilizer that will be used to restore the Andean cloud forest and contribute to the agricultural productivity of Machu Picchu. Continuing initiatives for the conservation and environmental care of Machu Picchu, AJE Group and Inkaterra presented this first Organic Waste Treatment Plant to the city.
Alongside the Organic Waste Treatment Plant, a Plastic Compactor Plant to SERNANP will be used to recycle trash found along the Inca Trail, the most famous trekking route in South America. The plant was donated in 2017 and prevented the ruins of Machu Picchu from entering UNESCO's list of Heritage at Risk. Currently, 14 tons of polyester plastic are processed daily in this plant.
In 2018, a Biodiesel and Glycerin Plant was inaugurated at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel. By processing used vegetable oil from Machu Picchu's homes, lodges, hotels, and restaurants, 20 gallons of biodiesel are produced daily from nearly 6,000 liters of used oil a month. The glycerin obtained in the process of making biodiesel is also used by the municipality to clean the stone floors, thus replacing chemical products.
These cumulative efforts to turn the city of Machu Picchu into a model of global sustainability won the Peruvian "Líderes + 1" prize and, in Germany, the prestigious "Die Goldene Palme" award in the category for Responsible Tourism.

At least three people die jumping from Bangkok skyscraper to escape hotel fire
A 57-floor hotel and shopping building has gone up in flames in Bangkok, Thailand. At least three people have died jumping to escape the fire, which ripped through the popular tourist spot.
The fire broke out at the Centara Grand hotel and Centralworld shopping plaza at around 6pm local time on Wednesday. Plumes of black smoke spewed out of the building, and three jumped to their deaths from the horrific blaze, local media reported.
Shocking footage shared on social media shows the smoke pouring out of the burning skyscraper.
Bangkok's typically gridlocked traffic hampered the efforts of emergency services to reach the scene of the blaze, but the fire was reportedly brought under control an hour or so after it broke out.
Bangkok Governor Assawin Kwanmuang told reporters that the fire broke out on the eighth floor, in a document storage room.
The Centara Grand hotel is the flagship hotel of the Central Group, and one of the largest hotels in the Thai capital.
Wednesday's blaze is not the first time the Centara Grand has gone up in flames. Anti-government protesters set the hotel and shopping complex on fire in 2010, after months of demonstrations. The fire gutted a department store and left parts of the building closed for months of repair work.

Game of Thrones final season is here! See where it all began in Malta
As Game of Thrones approaches its final season, set to premiere on April 14, 2019, it's a good time for die-hard fans to take a look at the first location where it all started, Malta. Often referred to as "the hidden gem of the Mediterranean," Malta is not so hidden when it comes to Hollywood and if you're a Game of Thrones fan you will remember that most of season one was filmed there.
The quest for power between the Houses of Stark, Baratheon, Lannister and Targaryen all started on the island of Malta. Malta offers tours to join local actors who took part in Season One of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones as they unravel the secrets and adventures of your favorite characters including Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, Joffrey Baratheon and Cersei Lannister.
Step back in time as you travel to idyllic locations such as those used in the first season including the gardens of Kings Landing, the Red Waste, the Tower of the Hand, the Stables, Maegor's Holdfast, the Red Keep, Cobblers Square, The Street of Steel, Baelish Brothels (ext), Coppersmith's Wynd, King's Gate, King's Square, and the village of Lhazar (when accessible).
The Maltese Islands – Malta, Gozo and Comino – have been home to Hollywood blockbusters such as Gladiator, U-571, The Count of Monte Cristo, Troy, Munich, Popeye, the movie set abandoned in 1980 which remains a huge tourist attraction in Malta, as well as prestigious dramas and sitcoms such as the BBC's Byron and ITV's Coronation Street to name a few. The island's beautiful, unspoiled coastlines and breathtaking architecture have 'doubled' for an amazing variety of locations on the big and small screens – from ancient Rome to 19th-century Marseille and 1960's Beirut. Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Wolfgang Petersen, Guy Ritchie and other renowned directors, as well as a host of A-list celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Russell Crowe, Brad Pitt, Sharon Stone, Madonna and Sean Connery, all experienced Malta's movie making facilities and its many charms.
The sunny islands of Malta, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, are home to a most remarkable concentration of intact built heritage, including the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in any nation-state anywhere. Valletta built by the proud Knights of St. John is one of the UNESCO sights and the European Capital of Culture for 2018. Malta's patrimony in stone ranges from the oldest free-standing stone architecture in the world, to one of the British Empire's most formidable defensive systems, and includes a rich mix of domestic, religious and military architecture from the ancient, medieval and early modern periods. With superbly sunny weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do. www.visitmalta.com

How can you get dad involved in caring for your baby?
So often when I am meeting with new families, I need to spend a long time making sure I connect with the father.
Why? Because he hasn't been getting up at night for the past 8 months and therefore doesn't see that there's a sleep issue? Or because he's scared sleep training will mean he has to all of a sudden become involved in settling his child? In these cases I don't believe it's because he doesn't want to be involved, I think it's the opposite. I think he desperately WANTS to be involved but doesn't know how.
This misunderstanding or miss communication between couples is often the reason there is a sleep issue to begin with. Constant sleepless nights breed resentment between couples that secretly blame the other one for the issues they are having.
If you are experiencing this at the moment with your partner, what are some practical ways you can start to get him involved in your baby's routine?
If your baby is exclusively breastfed sometimes it's hard for your partner to be involved in the feeding process. If later down the track you are both happy to introduce a bottle in to your routine either of breast milk or formula this can be the perfect time for him to help out. For many couples the dream feed is a good place to start. This entitles Dad to have a set responsibility each night to get up/stay awake in order to feed your new baby. It is also a nice intimate time of the night where true bonding can occur.
If you are lucky enough to have a partner that comes home from work at an early hour, it is a nice idea to give him the role of bath time. Most babies love bath time and find it very relaxing and this is often a very tiring time of the day for you, so giving him this role can benefit everyone. Just ensure that you are not waiting too long to give your baby a bath each night and compromising their bedtime hour.
Set time on the weekend for your partner to take your baby for a walk without you. If you are the one staying at home with your baby it's really important that you give them time to bond. Give them a chance to form their own special and unique relationship and use this as a time where you can have an hour or 2 off.
Be aware that even though you may have different parenting styles, it doesn't mean one is better than the other. Often when you are new parents it is evident how different your parenting styles are. One of you may be more routine oriented and the other may be less structured but your baby will benefit from having a well-rounded experience and there's no reason why you can't incorporate both to create a happy and healthy lifestyle for your baby.
Make sure you give your partner a chance to learn how to settle your baby. Maybe at first it doesn't bother you that you are the only one who knows how to settle your baby, but down the track this may tire you out if you are the only one who can put your baby to sleep. Your partner will feel more included and confident as a father if he also knows how to settle your baby and you will feel more relieved as a result because it will mean you also have a chance to have a break when you need to.
Encourage your partner to take your baby to some of the classes you have signed up for. Whether it's baby yoga or swimming it's a great chance for them to bond, and also for them to potentially meet other dads, which is a really helpful support network especially for first timers.
Send your partner to the pharmacy to buy baby products. This may seem like a silly point but teaching him the ins and outs of what your baby needs from the type of formula or size of nappies also gives him a sense of involvement. It will allow both of you to share the responsibilities of parenthood by jointly caring for your baby's needs.

Jay Sean, the best selling Urban artist in the history of the UK, is leaving Cash Money Records and independently releasing a mixtape, Mistress II, in November. Today Billboard premieres a new video for the song "Tears in the Ocean," which will appear on the tape next month. Check it out below.
"Tears in the Ocean" represents a return to Sean's roots. He's "always loved this style of melodic and emotional R&B." The steamy track -- co-written with Jared Cotter, who has helped Sean with "more than 30 songs" -- sprang from a desire "to make music that meant something, that had substance." He enlisted his family to help with the video: his brother filmed it and his wife co-produced it.
"When Sade drops a new album," Sean points out, "you know she's not going to be suddenly singing over a EDM beat produced by the hottest DJ at the time or jumpin' on the bandwagon of what the latest 'sound' is." "You should be able to do you," he adds. "That's what differentiates an artist from a singer."

Fact Check: Letter From Kamala Harris Stating DC Synagogues Must Shut Down is Fake
https://yidinfo.net/wp-content/uploads/speaker/post-9850.mp3?cb=1611275739.mp3
On Tuesday, a letter attributed to Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris warning synagogues to close or be imprisoned was received by several religious institutions in Washington DC. The Secure Community Network, a national Jewish group that advises institutions on security immediately alerted synagogues of the fake letter and alerted law enforcement of the same.
"Myself and President Joe Biden, will shut down your Synagogue of worship and place heavy fines upon your religious institution," said the letter, according to an alert distributed Tuesday to Jewish institutions by Secure Community Network, the national Jewish group that advises institutions on security.
Source: Jewish Journal
"We will be in control in two weeks and we will shut you down," says the letter, which has a postmark from Albany, New York. "This is your fair warning from me. [Washington] Mayor Muriel Bowser will have the authority from myself and President Biden to shut you down and take you to prison if you decide to open your doors."
The letter apparently intended to spur hate in the minds of the orthodox community who has lent their support to President Trump. Whilst recipients of the letter alerted law enforcement officials, a notice by the SCN says, "At this time, SCN is not aware of any specific, credible threats as it pertains to this document."
Source: NY Post
The background of the letter might have emerged from the fact that in recent days, there has been a constant battle between Democratic lawmakers and the Orthodox community, regarding unwarranted restrictions on religious institutions and congregations during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take office as US president and vice president today, they will be making Jewish history. Biden's three children who survived into adulthood all married Jews, making him a grandfather to several Jewish grandchildren. Biden's son Beau, who died of cancer in 2015, also married a Jew: Hallie Olivere, whose Jewish mother Biden had known since his own childhood. Biden's second son, Hunter, recently married for the second time — this time to Melissa Cohen, a Jewish documentary filmmaker from South Africa.
Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish, and the couple celebrates Jewish holidays together. Their 2014 wedding featured the traditional Jewish breaking of the glass, and Emhoff's two children from his first marriage refer to Harris as "Momala" — a mashup of Kamala and the Yiddishism "mamaleh."
