Kasalak, Ö., 2019, [Groningen]: University of Groningen. 175 p.
This thesis focused on two subjects in the field of musculoskeletal imaging: spondylodiscitis and bone tumors in children. Clinical imaging data were analyzed and correlated with patient characteristics, laboratory values, pathological results, and follow-up.
We found that in patients with a suspicion of spondylodiscitis on MRI, the culture yield of CT-guided biopsy was rather low: only one out of three biopsies was positive for a certain micro-organism, both for the initial and repeat biopsy. Moreover, more than 95% of patients with suspected spondylodiscitis would have been adequately treated with empiric antibiotics, regardless of the biopsy result (excluding immunocompromised patients). This questions the need for routine CT-guided biopsy in these patients.
In children with bone tumors, we found that two MRI findings are helpful in differentiating Ewing sarcoma from osteomyelitis, namely the presence of a soft-tissue mass and a sharp transition zone from pathologic to normal bone. Furthermore, a CT-guided biopsy of a bone lesion in a child with an indeterminate result of pathologic examination virtually always proved to indicate benignancy. Finally, in Ewing sarcoma, tumor volume measurements are subject to some degree of observer variability but this does not affect prognostic stratification, FDG-PET/CT may potentially replace invasive bone marrow biopsy for staging, and surveillance MRI after completion of treatment proved to be futile. These findings can improve the use of imaging and CT-guided biopsy for diagnosis, staging, follow-up and consultation of patients (and their parents) with bone tumors and Ewing sarcoma in particular.


Long time friend Courtney shows up to add a female perspective to the show. Tommy and Alex start recapping their holiday and share an update about their good friend Matt Albert, who is upset with Alex, as he's only spending 2 days in FL for his wedding, allowing for NO time to do anything else. Tommy points out how Alex never takes any time out for vacations, not even a friend's wedding.
Speaking of weddings, Courtney chimes in about Ryan's wedding and how she got a chance to speak with Alex's girlfriend, Phyllis. Apparently, when Alex went to the bathroom many times during the wedding due to being a hyper-alcoholic, Tommy and Courtney spoke to Phyllis about how she could do much better than him. Shocked, Alex tries to defend himself as Courtney lists off several friends of hers that she believes, would be better boyfriends for Phyllis.
Alex recaps how his Saturday was hijacked by friends who needed him to watch their kids. Like something out of the movies, Alex has a crazy, insane adventure involving bowling alleys the Special Olympics, and getting into a fight with two random 8 year olds. Tommy shares an incident that happened to him during yoga class that makes him look bad not matter what he does. Listen, and decide what you would do!

Nicolas is an artist, a filmmaker who merely wants to express himself, and whom everyone else wants to keep him silent. When he first starts out in Georgia, the "ideologues" want to gag him, concerned that his work does not conform to set rules.In the face of their determination, Nicolas leaves his homeland for France - land of freedom and democracy. But the "state of grace" will be short-lived.


Great Location!! This 2 bedroom 2 bath condo is located on the 1st floor which is hard to get in this building. Sea Cabin has a private fishing pier for owners and guest only. Pool as well as a sun deck located on property. If your searching for a beach retreat, permanent residence or investment property this is it!


Jesus once said to His followers that "for my namesake you will be persecuted". This verse clearly fits on the 2,500 Pakistani Christians who fled their homeland facing persecution and found shelter in Thailand. It´s been 5 years that they are stateless with no hope for the future, trusting and relying only UNHCR, Thailand for being resettled to a third country where they can live like normal people because right now they live under constant fear of being caught by the Thai police and immigration. It is just like fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan and entering another persecution, fear, depression and hopelessness.
On October 9th, 2018, the Thai immigration conducted raids on the homes of Pakistani Christian asylum seekers, arrested more than 150 people and took them to Bangkok´s immigration detention center which is well known for its inhumane conditions and on top of that it's unhygienic conditions as well. The Thai authorities have declared that they will deport the arrested asylum seekers back to Pakistan; a country they fled to save their lives, a country that can never assure the security of its minorities and it has repeatedly failed to protect Christians, a religiously intolerant Islamic Republic of Pakistan where the society triumphs on persecuting Non-Muslims especially Christians.
Even those who are recognized refugees by UNHCR are at risk as their bails are being cancelled and they are forced to surrender before the Thai immigration and being detained. The families are being apart, the future is uncertain and the risk of deportation and loss of life is obvious. UNHCR, Thailand has failed to negotiate the security of bailed out refugees as well as asylum seekers.
We appeal the international community to raise their voice against this injustice being done to persecuted Pakistani Christians in Thailand. We also appeal all the sovereign countries who respect the human rights to please accept these Christians in order to end their suffering. Every human regardless of race, color, creed or religion has the right to live freely and without fear and so does the Pakistani Christian refugees in Thailand. We appeal the countries who have been a role model in solving refugee's crisis and accepting them with open arms, to stand beside these followers of Christ and love them as we love our self. Thank you very much.
The Clock is Ticking – where are we in the timeline of Biblical prophecy?
Is it worth living for Christ and facing persecution?

Q: non-countable subset of $\mathbb 2^{\mathbb Z}$ with finite pairwise intersection. Does a non countable subset of the power-set of $\mathbb Z$ exist so that the intersection of any two elements is a finite set?
If we ask for the sets to be pairwise disjoint then the answer is a clear no. I'm pretty stumped, something which may be helpful is that the number of finite subsets of $\mathbb Z$ is countable.

On the palate, rich vanilla, sweet brioche, sandalwood, pear sorbet and white grape build a beautiful harmony of flavors; enhanced by a long, opulent finish for an extraordinary experience, to be shared and remembered. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or with club soda to expand the flavor. For over 130 years Glenfiddich has been one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and our whisky has become the world's most awarded single malt Scotch whisky, a true reflection of the passion, integrity and innovative spirit championed by a traditional fermentation process that has been passed down through the generations. After developing rich and intense flavor through a long, 23-year maturation in American and European oak casks; every drop of Grand Cru then spends an additional 6 months in French cuvée casks, which impart new layers of decadence, offering a myriad of aromas from apple blossom to candied lemon and freshly baked bread. Glenfiddich was founded by William Grant to fulfil a lifelong ambition of creating the 'best dram in the valley' and named 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic. Skillfully crafted. Enjoy responsibly.

Sivert Höyem on the new album & UK shows
aaamusic | On 05, Jul 2010
It's kind of a new start for me." says former Madrugada frontman Sivert Höyem about Moon Landing, his enthralling third solo album. "I just feel I have a lot to prove to myself. I wanted the title to tell people something about the ambition I have for this album, this being the first thing I have done since the band broke up."
Madrugada, Norway's most successful rock band ever – give or take a-ha's icy pop – split up following the tragic death of Höyem's bandmate, guitarist Robert Burås, in July 2007, and one last tour in 2008. "It's been a rough couple of years," admits the singer who completed the group's sixth and final album, fittingly called Madrugada and released in January 2008, with the help of bassist Frode Jacobsen. "We never discussed not finishing it. It just seemed like the only sensible thing to do. Everybody, Robert included, had been very enthusiastic about the album. It would have been a double tragedy if we hadn't finished it," reflects the vocalist. "With songs like Look Away Lucifer, it felt like a fresh new direction. Robert was a real rock and roll guitarist but he also had a very sensitive side to his playing. He had a great ability to squeeze a really haunting melody out of simple chord structures. Valley Of Deception is a great testament to his ability."
Höyem looks back on his 13 years fronting Madrugada, and the five studio albums the group made, from their brooding debut Industrial Silence (1999) to the moodier The Deep End (2005) via the kick-ass Grit (2002), and their Live At Tralfamadore offering issued in record-breaking time at Xmas 2005, with a great deal of pride, now tainted with a degree of sadness. "There hadn't really been a band like that coming out of Norway. We shared all these ideas and it all came together. A band is kind of an adolescent thing, really hard to keep alive," he stresses. "The whole break-up of the group after Robert died was very painful for me. My father died just two months after and I was very lost. I didn't know what to do with myself or my music. I didn't really know if I wanted to release an album for a while, or if I needed some time away from it."
Yet the pull and the joy of music–making remained strong for the singer. "I can't quit, I have to do it. I just end up writing songs and I want to see them realised. I think that's a pretty good sign. I guess I'm doing it for the right reasons," he now says before documenting the way Moon Landing evolved organically and naturally from demos made in a rehearsal room in Oslo with guitarist Cato Salsa and drummer Børge Fjordheim, through three stints in a cabin in the mountains, using analogue equipment provided by Kalle Gustafsson of Swedish group The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, who also played bass. "We moved these great mikes and vintage amps and stuff into the cabin. It was strange being up there. The 16-track tape recorder caught fire a couple of times but it worked out. We re-recorded some of the material at Kalle's studio in Gothenburg, then overdubbed for a week back in Oslo," expands Höyem.
The vocalist with the rich, haunting baritone made two solo albums while fronting Madrugada, Ladies And Gentlemen Of The Opposition in 2004 and Exiles in 2006, but Moon Landing is the first one his creative energies have been fully focused on. "I'm starting up as a true solo artist without the twin careers. All the best stuff I could come up with has gone into this one. Before, my solo work was never my first priority. If I had some kind of positive reaction from Frode or Robert to a song I was working on, it always went into Madrugada. Even if it wasn't released, it stayed with tha band," he explains. "Mostly the rock tunes and the grand, big, epic stuff made it into Madrugada, and I got to use the folk-inspired, melodic, the cute stuff in my solo work."
Höyem was keen to feature every facet of his songwriting. "We wanted to make sure Moon Landing was a rock album. It's mostly electric, but very melodic, just four people playing. Cato was in the last version of Madrugada. We got to be great friends on that last tour. He's a really solid guitar player, a perfect collaborator for me. Like Robert, he knows a lot of styles and can blend them together and make his own thing. He's been my creative partner in the process of arranging and recording the songs, and also co-produced with me," says the singer who again called on the services of noted US engineer and producer John Agnello to mix the album. "He's been doing some great work with Sonic Youth, as well as The Hold Steady and Drive-By Truckers – that kind of new wave of classic American rock that's coming out," notes Höyem. "He worked with Madrugada and it was just natural for him to come in on this project as well."
Yet, the vocalist admits it's not been easy to move on. "I was ready to put all that stuff behind me for a while, not make this project one more album made in Robert's shadow. But, of course, it's there in the songs. Moon Landing, the title track and the first single, is about the whole situation of starting again. It has a West Coast rock, Neil Young feel, it's a pop tune really. Lost At Sea says a lot about where I was at in my life when I wrote these songs. It has a very strong urban vibe. Exiles seemed to have a common theme about the North and the sea and the elements. This one comes from Oslo and Gothenburg and it's going to New York City. It's a different story, but it's still my story, places I've been and people I met."
Moon Landing is definitely the most varied, diverse offering of Höyem's career so far. "There's a track called Shadows/High Meseta, which plugs into the whole thing that we did with Madrugada, these huge semi-psychedelic Doors-y kind of songs, but then it kind of warps into an Amon Düül, Krautrock thing. I've been developing it in the back of my mind for almost ten years now," says the singer. "I like to change things around half-way through, to try and challenge the rules of basic song structure a bit."
Höyem tried out some of this new material at a couple of festival dates in the summer, and also during a prestigious support slot with Leonard Cohen in Langesund. "He's been a huge influence since I was a kid. He was always there and I've developed my own relationship with his music in what I've done," remarks the vocalist. "I also listen to a lot of British folk music, Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny. To me, Richard Thompson is up there with Bob Dylan, really gloomy, dark stuff. Jacques Brel has also been an inspiration. I can see how he has influenced other people I listen to, Nick Cave, David Bowie, and obviously Scott Walker, that really expressive vocal style."
Höyem can't help measuring himself against lyricists and songwriters of that magnitude. "I have great, maybe even unrealistic expectations of my abilities. Maybe it's just some kind of psychotic thing I've got into," he muses. "I really feel I have a lot to prove and a long way to go. I want to be like my big idols, sometimes I feel that I can be but, most of the time, I just feel like a complete idiot. I guess that's just the way it is."
The singer is selling himself short there. Madrugada certainly made their mark outside Scandinavia and punched above their weight amongst the Anglo-Saxons groups. "We managed to touch a lot of people and it was really powerful stuff," says Höyem who intends to visit Greece, where his former group had a big following, before Christmas 2009, and mainland Europe and the UK next year.
Now managed by Per Eirik Johansen, who signed Madrugada to Virgin in 1998, the singer has formed his own label with distribution by Universal in Norway, and is already planning ahead and looking for licensees and distributors elsewhere. "We're definitely going to put a lot of work in Europe, we're going to do whatever it takes," he stresses. "This is a fresh start, something that I've done with new collaborators, a natural next step, both from my work in Madrugada, and as a solo artist. The inspiration comes from a lot of different places. There's a kind of newly-won freedom, in a way."
Moon Landing? Mission accomplished.

NHL Trade Review: Avalanche acquire Saad
Posted bycarterhud October 10, 2020 Posted inUncategorized
The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Brandon Saad and defenseman Dennis Gilbert from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman Nikita Zadorov and defenseman Anton Lindholm. The Blackhawks retained $1 million of Saad\'s contract.
With a lot of cap space and a want for more scoring, the Avalanche were rumored to be in the Taylor Hall sweepstakes. They could still make a push for him, but Saad is a solid middle-six winger. After Chicago retained some salary, Colorado faces a $5 million cap hit, with Saad becoming a UFA after 20-21. Saad has scored at least 20 goals in five of the past six seasons, and won a pair of Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks. Saad had two great seasons in Columbus (2015-16 and 2016-17), before returning to Chicago in a really bad trade for Artemi Panarin, but he has fallen off a little bit since. With the Avalanche, Saad will have a better team around him, which means a chance to score more goals. Zadorov is an RFA that the Avs don\'t need, with Sam Girard, Ian Cole, Ryan Graves and top prospect Bowen Byram on the left side, although they could use a right-handed defenseman (Cole can also play both sides). If they need depth, they get that in Gilbert, who played in over a quarter of Chicago\'s games last season.
Saad, who will be 28 later this month, scored 21 goals with 12 assists for 33 points in 58 games for the Blackhawks in 2019-20. In his NHL career for Chicago and the Columbus Blue Jackets, Saad has 169 goals with 178 assists for 347 points in 588 games.
Gilbert, 23 (who\'s birthday is just three days after Saad\'s), scored one goal with two assists for three points in 21 games for the Blackhawks in 2019-20, and has one extra NHL game, coming in 2018-19. For the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL last year, Gilbert had one goal with six assists for seven points in 30 games.
Even though they (somehow) made the playoffs in 2019-20, the Blackhawks don\'t look great going into 2020-21, especially with Collin Delia and Malcolm Subban in goal. In this trade, they clear some cap space, although not too much, as immediately afterwards the Blackhawks announced that Zadorov accepted his qualifying offer of one year, worth $3.2 million. The Blackhawks still have Duncan Keith, and Calvin de Haan is solid as well, but behind them the left side is weak, so Zadorov is an improvement over Nick Seeler. That being said, the Blackhawks could use a left winger, even before this trade. Dominik Kubalik is great, but now with Saad gone, there isn\'t much behind him. Alex DeBrincat could be on his off-side, but the next best pure left winger is either Brandon Pirri or John Quenneville. That is a position that I could see the Blackhawks look to upgrade with their remaining cap space, as well as in goal. Lindholm played in 48 games in 2017-18, but hasn\'t come close to that total since. He is older than Gilbert, and probably has a little bit less value.
Zadorov, 25, scored four goals with nine assists for 13 points in 64 games for the Avalanche in 2019-20. In his NHL career for the Avs and Buffalo Sabres, Zadorov has 22 goals with 53 assists for 75 points in 356 games.
Lindholm, also 25, had one assist in four game for the Avalanche in 2019-20. In his NHL career, all in Colorado, the 2014 5th rounder has five points, all assists, in 66 games. In 45 games in 2019-20 for the AHL\'s Colorado Eagles, Lindholm had one goal with two assists for three points.
NHL Trade Review: Senators get Watson
NHL Trade Review: Devils acquire Johnsson


A new variation on our capacity to lose goals from corners.
It's felt like a distinct possibility for a while, but I now truly believe it's going to happen.
Falkirk have just scored too.
A Partick goal now would well and truly f*ck us. Can't see us getting anything from the next 3 games. Shite.
What a record against Alloa this season.
Thats us done. Dobbie for 60 goals in league 1 next year?
Fantastic result lads - hope you stay up!
Naysmith should have been binned long ago. Not sure why he is still there. Now too late to make any difference. Our board should hang their heads in shame - first of all for the panic stricken way in which he was appointed in the first place, then giving him a two and a half year contract based on not very much, then not sacking him when it became apparent he wasn't up to the job. I blame Naysmith for this fiasco, but the real culprits are his bosses.
You dont think the players take some of the responsibility ?
Well done Alloa. Awesome turn around. Keep it going.
Some run by Alloa, deservedly staying up you'd have to say.
I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. Will he still be here?
As a fan of a small club in a league full of bigger teams, I'm rooting for Alloa to stay up.
Fantastic run you guys are on.
Anyway, well done to Alloa. 4 wins in a row at this stage of the season is brilliant.
He has taken us to the depths and brink of relegation.
Has made mistake after mistake and made us worse since he came in so YES he should have been binned long ago.
He talks a good game but cannot carry that on to the pitch.
No doubt he will say AGAIN that we dominated but just could not score but that we will get a break soon.
Just heard 1 win in 11 and that we have only won 8 games all season.
Appalling record that does not merit still being in the job.
AJ should have been brought in after we lost at home to Inverness.
Maybe more people will now see through this guy and realise it is not about what you say but what you do.
Absolute joke of a club from top to bottom.
Serious question: would anyone be willing to pay Dobbies wages in League 1?

Michael Canitrot is a man who was born into music. From Starting out at a early age of 10, and having his first serious gig at the age of 17, He is not a stranger to DJing. From chart topping singles, to mixing on top of the "Les Marches", during the Cannes Film Festival. It may seem like he has done it all, but Michael doesn't stop there. He also does music for luxury fashion companies, challenging his music creativity. We can look forward to a new album from Michael in early 2012. You never know what's around the corner for this French producer as he is always pushing the envelope.
First off, congratulations for being number 3 on the UK club charts with your single "You and I"! What does this mean for you?
Thanks a lot … I'm very proud because UK is not a easy market. They know the music, they have it in their soul.
Michael, At what age did you start getting into music?
I started to DJ when I was very young around 10… But my first serious gig was at 17 at les Bains-Douches but it was a secret, I wasn't old enough to be inside!
Has music always been a big interest in your life?
Yes… I was born into a family who loves music. Music is my way of life!
When you started the "So, Happy in Paris?" parties, did you except that years later you would be at such a level that you are with the concept?
Not really … at the beginning it was just a small party for our friends … And now we do around 100 parties per year, everywhere in the world!
Do you feel that doing music for luxury companies has given you more opportunities that the average artist?
Definitely, when you play or make music for the catwalks you have to be very curious, open mind … You can mix Classical Music, Electro, Pop/Rock or French Songs. Each designers needs are different and the musical research I have to do is always very enriching. I remember a musical theme we developed on Christian Dior's life, his tastes, his influences. It was so exciting.
How did you get involved with luxury clothing companies?
My connection as a musical designer for the Cannes Film Festival helped me to enter the fashion world and I've always love the Fashion, it's a great inspiration for me.
Tell me about your recent single "When you got love" with Ron Carroll.
I've started it last summer in Ibiza, at the beginning I've put an acappella of Ron Carroll on it.
The result it's absolutely beautiful, the melody is amazing, the lyrics are all about Love… The music is a mix between emotion and energy, calibrated for the dance floors. We'll also have a great video clip, filmed in Los Angeles. Stay Tuned!
What was it like working with Ron Carroll?
A fantastic guy and amazing artist! Big Respect!
What's your favourite part about making music videos, and being able to share them with the world?
Making Music without video and visuals it's impossible for me. It needs to a global experience!
You're currently on a world tour, what are some stops that your looking forward to? Which ones have been your favourite so far?
Seoul in Korea is my best destination at the moment, but east of Europe it's always great, and Brazil is going to be big for the electronic music!
Every show you play you give so much positive energy to the crowd, where do you get that energy from?
I've started to be a DJ to play for the public … I've give them my energy and they give me back Love … You know Studio it's great but I live for the parties, the sensation with the people is indefinable… I'm totally addicted , that's why I give all I have!
Do you have any big plans for the next year to share with the world?
Yes, a new So, Happy in Paris?'s CD compilation + a DVD bonus, a new single and I'm actually working on a album. I hope it ll be ready early of 2012!
You've been the official DJ for the Cannes film festival? Can you tell me more about this?
I've had some wonderful experiences mixing at the top of "Les Marches" (the steps of the Palais Des Festivals) for the world's most prestigious film festival.
This really is something extraordinary. I particularly remember when Quentin Tarrantino came up the Palais des Festivals steps. It was incredible to see all those people dancing down on the floor. I will never forget that feeling.
Who has been the biggest factor into the success of your career?
My parents & my girlfriend.
Michael Canitrot

Columbia Gorge or Rogue River-Siskiyou; which national forest is best (poll)
Updated Jan 09, 2019; Posted Dec 16, 2015
By Terry Richard | The Oregonian/OregonLive
GorgeRogue.jpeg
Elowah Falls or Blossom Bar on the Rogue River: the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area or the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, which is best for outdoor recreation?
(Terry Richard/Staff)
Which national forest unit is best for outdoor recreation? The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area or the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Portland metro residents have the gorge in their eastern backyard, but that Rogue River is something special, too.
The two national forest units face off in the quarterfinal round of the "best Northwest national forest reader poll" after opening-round wins. The Columbia Gorge beat the Colville National Forest with 71 percent of the vote, while the Rogue River-Siskiyou stomped the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie with 76 percent.
The other quarterfinal voting that also starts today matches the Wallowa-Whitman vs. the Malheur and Umatilla forests, in a separate post. The other four quartefinal votes close on Friday, Dec. 18. Look for results in the polls embedded in the posts, or wait for me to launch the semifinals on Tuesday, Dec. 22. Find those polls in the story box with this post.
Here's what was said previously about the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Look tomorrow for more on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
Voting in this round, Gorge vs. Rogue, ends Monday, Dec. 21.
The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is a unique-in-the-Northwest unit of the U.S. Forest Service that encompasses land on the Oregon and Washington sides of the Columbia River Gorge, from Troutdale-Washougal on the west to the Deschutes River-Maryhill on the east. Management is through a multi-governmental commission to deal with private and state lands within the boundary.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture lands inside the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area are spectacular indeed, even before state park recreation is added to the mix. On the Oregon side, Multnomah, Horsetail, Elowah and Wahkeena Falls are among the best national forest waterfalls in the region. Other highlights include Eagle and Herman creeks, though trails in those drainages enter the Mount Hood National Forest as they extend south into the heights.
Federal lands on the Washington side of the gorge include Dog Mountain and Catherine Creek. The boundaries of the scenic area cover 457 square miles of public and private lands, with 128 square miles of that U.S. Forest Service Lands. It's much smaller than other Northwest national forest units, but the gorge's unique character and nearness to Portland make it extremely popular. Headquarters is in Hood River, with the managing commission across the river in White Salmon; fs.usda.gov/crgnsa.

Writing on OregonLive.com about the difficult route up Munra Point, only to have it swamped with hikers two days later, including one who needed a rescue. Watching the trail system grow at Catherine Creek and Cape Horn, after the U.S. Forest Service acquired land on the Washington side following creation of the scenic area in 1986.

I was out of work on 12-28-13 from a grocery chain which went out of business.
Was only 3 months from a pension, so I just retired at 60 and drew a pension. I was looking forward to it and for the first few months in the winter, was fine.
I live solo and am unmarried and apparently will be okay financially.
As soon as spring arrived last year, I was suddenly hit with panic attacks and anxiety; came out of nowhere. Don't have many close friends and most are busy with family and jobs.
I was looking forward to traveling and camping (solo). I live as a semi-recluse and didn't even realize it. Now I'm living the lifestyle I created for myself. I ride a bicycle and hike a local woods just to do something and make myself tired enough to sleep at night.
My day begins with getting up about 8:30 am, making coffee, watching the weather channel, nursing a cigarette and trying to deal with racing thoughts. I will eventually eat, hike, or bicycle and try to fill the day out with.......?
Anybody out there similar to this or can relate to?
It might just be better to get this off my chest just to write it out. Any feed back will be appreciated.
I just hope my mental strength and desires and confidence return. the worst part about it is it's kind of an in and out thing.
The story you posted sounds so similar to mine. I retired last year from a burn-out job (actually I feel I was kind of forced to retire, but don't want to go into detail about that on here).
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and the emotions you have experienced - I've been going through much of the same and was wondering if I was normal!
So glad things are working out for you, as this gives me hope as well.
I would like to propose to Wendy that we all meet one day! Why not a Retirement Community Fest? We can know each other better and have a great time enjoying each other's company. It would be like a Retirement Getting-To-Know-You Party!
WENDY: Ooooh, Soky -- thats a fabulous idea! Maybe I will do a post, soon, to get an idea if anyone would be interested. That could be fun, finally meeting each other in person! Woo hoo!
I was so impressed you were able to put your panicky feelings down on paper which can help get some of the negative thought-energy flow out of you.
Congratulations. This could be a turning point for you.
The setbacks you mentioned are so important to your growth because they are lessons forcing you tp develop emotional, psychological and spiritual muscles that couldn't be strengthened otherwise.
You will eventually find out that you are a "miracle in motion." You have already learned some important survival lessons many of us need to learn. You could teach people about them. LIfe coach Tim Storrey claims we all have a dream somewhere inside of us that has a voice and we should "start listening to it."
Also it would be great if you could get some insight from a trained reliable counselor who could help you understand why you are having panic attacks and how they can be managed. They should be taken seriously.
Sometimes we need something shocking to get our attention and force us to go for help. Someday you may look back on these difficulties and thank them for being the jolt you needed to begin a renewed and rewarding life.
I think maybe many of us were not quite prepared for retirement--it's easier to plan the times before retirement but then it seems like we often think of retirement as something magical that just happens and we'll live happily ever after!
I have experienced the panic attacks too (this is my 2nd year of retirement) and they do come and go, but I agree with Wendy that it's normal.
We are in a very different place and according to experts, we may have 20-30 more years of this! It is scary!
But we are in charge and that's very exciting--we can find new interests, new places, and new ways to spend our time--allow yourself time to figure out what those new things are.
I'm about your age and left my job a little earlier than I planned as well.
I've been struggling with depression.
2. I left without a plan of what to do next, or having dabbled in non-work activities.
3.I let bitterness at my managers build up and it is irrelevant now.
Hard as it may be, I think I'm going to have to approach new people and have shared activities fall out of that.
Hi Scott, I totally know how you feel. I had been so miserable since retiring, and could not for the life of me find myself.
I plunged into a marriage in a far away country and realized that I was just fooling myself. So I came back to Tampa FL to live close to my grown children, but found out that they have their own lives. We do visit frequently, but I'm still lonely.
So I decided to rent a studio apartment and am excited about the prospect of decorating and fixing it up to suit my likes. Then, after that I would like to take up a hobby or something to keep me busy.
It does get lonely, Scott, but you'll be okay. You have me and a whole lot of other friends in this community.
Wendy is wonderful and is always looking out for us.
God bless you and please keep in touch. You can DO!!!!!
Have a great outdoor summer but in the fall find a way to help other people. There are many organizations that can help you find something satisfying.
Scott I too went through the first year of my retirement in similar ways and had periods of elation, depression, anxiety as well.
I live alone and have no close friends, some acquaintances near by and some good friends at a distance, but none I can really spend time with. I do have my son and his family and my granddaughter is a real positive in my life as well.
Having been an RN for 35 years adjusting to being really alone for most days was a shock to me. I ran around frantic thinking I would go back to work, though inside I knew that was not what I needed to do.
You are doing some good things that will bring you back to a place of balance and that is biking and exercise. I joined a gym and I walk every day and I have taken up gardening and found that gives me great pleasure in fact this year took on a major remake of both my front and back yards and I loved it.
I don't know if you believe in God but that was also a great source of comfort and support that got me to the place I am today.
Today I find I enjoy and love me more than I ever did before and my family is seeing the difference as well and it is bringing my son and I closer. So hang in there and keep moving forward creating positive things for yourself and be open to even discovering some new experiences.
I too had hoped to travel as I love to do that but while I am comfortable financially travel is not something I can afford much of except trips around Washington.
You are perfectly normal...unfortunately, this happens to lots of us... and why o h why?
It sounds like you've got it all worked out. Seriously.
You and only you hold the key to your future. You can do this.. it's summertime, soon, and you can have the BEST summer ever... if you choose to do so.
When the next anxiety fit happens, ask yourself "Whats the worse that can happen?" It's usually not that bad... and the worry only serves to keep us from the BEST in life.

Our superintendent, April Domine, is leading an effort to benchmark innovation in teaching and learning methods and has started some pilot projects using mostly grant money.
The New Albany-Plain Local Schools need a new pedagogical model that focuses on the individual student's success and integrates technology into that process in real time. Results from some schools using these methods are stunning in student achievement and in substantially reducing the cost of instruction.
She is using some guidance from Tony Wagner, an expert in this area who visited the district recently, to focus education efforts on helping students build skills in seven areas: problem solving and critical thinking; collaboration across networks; adaptability; initiative; effective oral and written communication; analyzing information; and developing curiosity and imagination. These are the skills children need to succeed as good citizens, in college and in their careers. I endorse this concept and look forward to seeing the specifics of the efforts.
Despite New Albany's 2010-11 state report card ranking of "Excellent," 34 percent of our district graduates that entered college in 2009 needed to take remedial math or English courses, according to the Ohio Board of Regents' August 2011 report.
Under the state's new school ranking system to be implemented next year using more realistic academic standards, New Albany would be rated "B" on the A to F scale. Make no mistake, education in New Albany is above average but there is great room for improvement.
It would be great to know if our teachers union wholeheartedly endorses this approach, even officially taking a vote.
It would be even more impressive if the union voted to forgo its current annual 4-plus-percent salary/step increases and use the savings to fund this effort instead of further burdening taxpayers.
Many other districts' unions have taken zero increases to help taxpayers during these difficult economic times. After all, our district's teachers are among central Ohio's highest paid.

Marina Mahathir in her own write
Updated: Nov 17, 2021 12:15 AM
Malaysiakini talks to Marina Mahathir about her book, 'The Apple and the Tree', published by Penguin Random House SEA, scheduled for release on Nov 23.
Malaysiakini: I had expected when you told me you had this manuscript, oh, she probably submitted a few chapters for her Masters dissertation, but you actually wrote something else for submission.
Marina: Yes, I did.
So when was this book conceived?
I did write parts of it during the course, because every couple of weeks we had to write something and it is work-shopped. The early chapter about my childhood house in Kedah was an essay I submitted with my application for the course.
For my dissertation, I had wanted to expand on a piece I had written about a time when I was in the AIDS Council, and we hosted a controversial international conference. In it there was a bit about a transgender speaker.
My supervisor said that was interesting, I should write about that. It was an "Aha" moment, "Yaa!" So my dissertation was a lot of interviews with trans people, a portrait of six or seven.
I hope to turn that into a book sometime because their stories are fascinating. I wanted to show that they are human and cannot be defined just by their gender.
I talked to one of them in Negri, the one who was in a constitutional case. She's a sex worker. She's also a prize-winning cat-breeder and cavy-breeder (N.B: Cavy – a South American rodent kin to the guinea pig.). She had all these trophies. She read books on how to breed cats and cavies, how to prepare them for shows. I mean, who would think?
Another amazing interview was when I was in England, June, 2019. My parents came because dad was speaking at Cambridge or Oxford. Because it was Raya time, the High Commission had an open house – in the garden, tons of people, stalls. I was hanging out with my friends when this tall woman in red came up to me.
"Hi, I am M...."
"I'm the first transgender Crown Prosecutor in the UK."
"Are you Malaysian?"
"I've got to interview you."
I went to see her in court in north London. Imagine, someone from a conservative family in KL, non-Muslim, who left, studied law, rose to become a Crown Prosecutor.
I gave the manuscript to an agent in England, but she wanted to give it to...

This is some blog description about this site
Because shaming or humiliating women is still okay....
JewFem Blog: Gender in Judaism and Orthodoxy
I have been getting so many notes from women, from across the Jewish world, about my decision to become a Reform rabbi. Even though I know that this is really hard for Orthodox feminists, who are constantly trying to prove that they are Orthodox and not Reform, I have also been receiving a lot of camraderie along with mourning. The note that I am sharing here is in that category, too. But I have decided to share it because this story she writes about humiliating women happened YESTERDAY. In 2017. It is still okay to literally ask women to leave, to roll over, to abandon her own needs and spiritual practices, because men come first. We need to air these stories. "Hi Elana. Mazal tov on your choice, I truly wanted to reach out and tell you this story, because I finally understand your choice. When you first announced it, I admit that I was sad. I wasn't disappointed in you, I totally supported you doing what worked best for you. I just felt my heart break that this would be used against Orthodox feminists, who would say 'See? A little feminism and you leave the Torah' and tighten restrictions more. But then my friend, an Orthodox Jewish woman with kids, was humiliated today, with her husband being told to ask her to leave [the sukkah] (my friend was sitting right there, but no one spoke to her) because women and children do not have a 'chiyyuv' [obligation] and men who have that chiyyuv might need the seats. Even though there were other empty seats, it was offensive my friend was taking up seats that in the minds of some rightfully 'belonged' to men, men who weren't in the restaurant or who might not even exist." And it hit me. It finally hit me why you left. It's because intelligent men who learn plenty blatt Gemara [page of talmud] can decide my friend and her beautiful children are not really people, and don't deserve basic courtesy. They're just...appendages to be stored away at the convenience of men who aren't even there. My friend's Judaism isn't as vital as a potential male's Judaism, she should be considering men and making herself smaller so she doesn't take up room. In what world is 'Reform' more problematic than advocating women be so invisible that they sacrifice for potential men? The cudgel is there, no matter what we do. Those advocating the silencing of women will silence even modestly dressed Orthodox women for eating in public. You're just saying 'I won't take it anymore.' Good for you." When i say "compassion first", this is what I mean. A world in which it is considered "okay" to humiliate women because of how a particular man reads halakha, that is not a world built on compassion. It is not a world that is built in the Divine image. And it is not Torah.
sukkot shaming women Orthodox feminism halakha
Ushpizot: Inviting sacred women into the sukkah
The "Ushpizin", literally "guests", is a Jewish custom to invite the spirits of our ancestors into the Sukkah during the seven nights of the traditional holiday (eight in the Diaspora). The Ushpizin represent the commandment to open one's house to poor people, as well as the more kabbalistic idea that each guest has a unique character trait or energy that we would like to invite into our lives, families, communities and world. The seven traditional Ushpizin are all men. Over the past few years, women have created parallel rituals to invite "Ushpizot", women spiritual guests, each night a different woman. Although some Ushpizot texts use the seven women who are traditionally believed to have been prophetesses, others vary the names invoked based on women whose lives had particular meaning. The ceremony suggested below uses seven Jewish ancestral women based on particular traits that they embodied, with a suggested variation at the end.

Happy Birthday Suriya: Here's why Suriya is the most loved actor of Kollywood
Bratati Chakraborty
The Tamil Superstar Suriya turns 43 today and continues to enthrall us with his flawless projects and skills. His journey has been immensely inspiring as he grew from doing supporting roles to being the Tamil superhero that he is now. Suriya is currently reining the film industry and continues to experiment with his roles and movies, besides being a crowd pleaser.
The Singham actor stepped into the Tamil film industry in 1997 with Nerukku Ner. Tamil superstar Saravanan Sivakumar rose to revolutionary recognition and fame in the phase of 2002-2005. He played an angry, loyal yound man in Mounam Pesiyadhe, the exact opposite, a sophisticated cop in Kaakha Kaakha, the easy going con-man in Pithamagan, a hunchback in Perazhagan and a revolutionary leader in Aayutha Ezhuthu. These proved his impeccable versatile and diverse choices and skills, thus paving the way for him to become the new Tamil superstar.
There are very few actors who can pull off such roles with an effortless ease, that too in just a couple of years. He can be labeled as a shape shifter and a natural actor as he moves swiftly from one role to another and enlivens them perfectly. There are various perspectives to Suriya's performance in Vaaranam Aayiram. Now, this movie has been a game changer in his career. Playing a dual role, his versatility is pretty enjoyable to watch. The film brought a considerable tautness to his body language which became denser with films of the type Ayan, Aadhavan, and well he became ashard as steel in Singam series which was remade in Hindi, in Bollywood starring Ajay Devgan.
Singam gained him even more popularity where he plays the role of a Deputy Commissioner. Recently, he has surprised everyone with his first time triple role in 24. His fans seemed to love his performance as usual. To add on, his performance as an antagonist showed a new facade of his skills and shocked everyone. His Ghajini was inspired by Christopher Nolan's Memento and was one of the highest grossing movies of 2015. It also had a remake in Bollywood, starring Aamir Khan and Aasin. Among many of his noteworthy performances are Bodhidharma and a modern day circus artist in 7aum Arivu which is a science fiction martial-arts film. He also played the lead in Ayan, the role of a graduate involved in illegal activities to support his father. It dealt with the heating issue of smuggling and customs officer.
Suriya's latest Thaanaa Serndha Koottam witnesses him loosening and easing out a bit. It was the most fun-filled project he has had in all these years. It is an official remake of Special 24 of Bollywood, starring Akshay Kumar. Suriya is one of those actors you will enjoy watching on-screen and has a huge market command and fan base. His fans have always stood by him in thick and thin, be it his hits or flops. His respectable nature towards everybody in the industry and his humble and hardworking nature have gained him a high position in the industry. Also, his perfect physique and oh-so-charming nature makes his fans drool over him.
What many people do not know is that he is married to another Tamil superstar Jyothika. The match is one of those made in heaven. The level of respect, dedication and support he shows towards her is praise-worthy. He has been her fan since forever. Besides, in a chat show Jyothika discloses that she has never even prepared a cup of coffee for him and he doesn't expect her to do it either. Time and again we get evidences of how Suriya is a pure gentleman.

The comedy Seventh Heaven was directed by director/actor/writer Hasse Ekman. He is part of the prominent Ekman family that has entertained Swedes since the 1910s.
Released in the middle of World War II, the film Night Riders highlighted the challenges of resistance and war. Based on a novel by Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg.
Borg/McEnroe, released in 2017, tells the story of the relationship between the legendary tennis players Björn Borg and John McEnroe. With a cast headed by internationally renowned actors Shia LaBeouf, Stellan Skarsgård and Sverrir Gudnason, the film was a huge success.
The adaptation of Fredrick Backman's best-selling novel has become one of the most successful Swedish films in recent years, both in Sweden and internationally. A Man Called Ove, released in 2015, stars the acclaimed Swedish actor Rolf Lassgård as the cranky title character.
The Man on the Roof, directed by Bo Widerberg and released in 1976, introduced the new genre: Nordic Noir. SF Studios adapted the thriller from the novel written by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö.
To Go Ashore, released in 1965, was directed by the beloved comedy duo Hasse & Tage. The film is one of the most popular films of all times for Swedish audiences. The film's ensemble cast includes famous jazz singer Monica Zetterlund.
The Seventh Seal, released in 1957, cemented Ingmar Bergman's position as an internationally renowned director. The film is one of the most iconic films in the history of cinema.
Ingmar Bergman wrote the screenplay for Torment and director Alf Sjöberg brought it to life in 1944. The film won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 1946. The sadistic Latin teacher, nicknamed Caligula, has become an iconic character in Swedish film history.
The great director-in-waiting was bedridden due to illness and, according to his own account, the film came to him in a flash, like a vision….
The internationally acclaimed film Symphony of a City, directed by Arne Sucksdorff, was awarded an Academy Award for Best Short Film in 1949. It was the first of three Academy Awards for SF Studios.
The Dream Waltz was SF Studios' first film with sound and was released in 1929. The film set the direction for the future and marked the end of the silent film era.
The greatest discovery by legendary director Gustaf Molander was, of course, Ingrid Bergman. The film was her breakthrough and she reprised the role in a Hollywood remake three years later, opposite legendary actor Leslie Howard.
During the 1920s, SF Studios secured exclusive rights to film the work of Nobel Prize laureate Selma Lagerlöf. The adaptation of The Legend of Gösta Berling was directed by Mauritz Stiller and featured a young Greta Garbo. Both Stiller and Garbo headed to Hollywood following this film.
The first film produced at the newly built film studio Filmstaden Råsunda was Victor Sjöström's The Phantom Carriage in 1921. The actor/director pushed the state-of-the-art setting to its limits and the film is still considered to be one of the most iconic silent films ever.
Hans Alfredsson and Tage Danielsson, more widely known as the beloved comedy duo "Hasse & Tage", changed how humor was perceived on film in Sweden during the 1960s. Throughout three decades, Hasse & Tage produced numerous Swedish comedy classics together with SF Studios.
Academy Award-winning Arne Sucksdorff is considered one of cinema's great documentary filmmakers of all time.
Throughout the history of SF Studios, the studio has received with many awards for its films, including three Oscars for Symphony of a City, The Virgin Spring and Through a Glass Darkly.
In the 1970s, SF Studios initiated one of its most important collaborations with the world-renowned author, Astrid Lindgren. SF Studios brought to the screen some of her most beloved characters such as Pippi, Emil and Ronia.
It would be difficult to find a Swede or, indeed, a Scandinavian, who doesn't feel a connection with the film adaptations of Astrid Lindgren's books….
Borg/McEnroe proved to be an international success and cemented SF Studios' position as a leading Nordic film studio with international reach.
Borg/McEnroe quickly received a great deal of international attention and was sold to more than 150 countries. It's also been a big hit with audiences….
Norwegian actress Tutta Rolf was one of Sweden's biggest film stars in the 1930s. In many ways, her films are representative of SF Studios' productions during this era.
Director Colin Nutley and Swedish actress Helena Bergström are one of most successful duos in Swedish film and television. Black Jack was the first of many collaborations between SF Studios and the dynamic duo.
Few people have managed to capture Swedishness on film as well as Englishman Colin Nutley. Black Jack (1990) was his first film with SF Studios….

Bentley 8 Litre (1930-1931)
Bentley 8 Litre was the largest British motor car at the time of its introduction. Bentley delivered only a rolling chassis. The customer could order the bodywork he or she wanted from a coachbuilder. Most of the Bentley 8 Litre cars were limousines but also sportier open-top models were produced.
Bentley 8 Litre had a ladder frame chassis. The wheelbase length was 3,659mm (144 in) or 3,963mm (156 in). The front suspension featured beam axle, half-elliptic leaf springs and friction-type dampers. At the rear car had a live (beam) axle, half-elliptic leaf springs and hydraulic lever-arm dampers. All four wheels were fitted with vacuum-servo assisted drum brakes
The car was powered by a six-cylinder in-line engine. The bore was 110mm and the stroke 140mm, giving engine capacity of 7,983 cc. The engine had a single overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder. The iron cylinder block and cylinder head were cast in one piece. The engine produced 200-225 bhp. The power was delivered through a four-speed manual gearbox. The Bentley 8 Litre could reach 100 mph (161km/h) regardless of the coachwork.
The Bentley 8 Litre was largest chassis Bentley built and it was also the last completely new model before the company was sold to Rolls-Royce in 1931. The Bentley 8 Litre achieved fame for smoothness and comfort as both engine and gearbox were mounted on rubber to isolate the chassis and body from vibration. However, sales of the luxury cars were slow during the Great Depression. In 1930, Bentley 8 Litre chassis cost £1,850, and with typical coachwork £2,500.
100 cars of the Bentley 8 Litre model were built. W.O. Bentley himself used the second car built as his personal transport for two years from October 1930.

7. One more time about "Afterburn"
8. How to lose weight: practice
Well, who doesn't know that it is necessary to be more active if you want to lose weight? The observations of people of "the Western type" confirmed that only 40% of energy was spent actively and, what's interesting, 60% was spent while resting (Black, Coward, Cole, Prentice, 1996). We are getting fat. Shall we move more? Shall we buy a treadmill for our living room? Plus a stair stepper? It's unfortunate, but the research shows that a typical workout of 30 minutes 3 times per week, increases energy expenditure by only 5%. We would have to exercise 90 minutes non-stop every day if we wanted to achieve the level of energy expenditure that would make us healthier (Paoli, Moro, Marconi, Neri, Bianco, Palma and Grimaldi, 2012)! Who has so much free time? What about time for work, family and drinking beer?
So what shall we do?!
I won't be mistaken if I say that there are a million and one strategies and training programs designed to burn fat. Open any flashy magazine, and it is guaranteed that you will find "the most effective one." Okay, I can't possibly compare all this information or even familiarise myself with most of it. But I know the basic principles of human physiology, and I am familiar with scientific findings on this topic. These findings were not sponsored by producers of sport nutrition or treadmills, but by unbiased research institutes. Let's have a close look at these findings.
Scientists have been studying the amount of energy consumed by a body at rest (Resting metabolic rates – RMR or "basal metabolism") for 200 years, starting from Lavuazie's work at the end of the 18th century. When a group led by Schofield in 1985 wrote an overview of this topic, they covered more than 8000 articles!
Krogh and Lindahard (1913) were the first to measure and describe the oxygen debt and oxygen deficit phenomenon a hundred years ago; the first theory based on this was developed 10 years later (Furusawa, Hill, Long and Lupton, 1924). Subsequently, this phenomenon was given the name "excess post-exercise oxygen consumption" (EPOC).
You have to understand one simple thing: the calories you burn during your workout is nothing in comparison to what happens after it. You don't lose weight when you are running on a treadmill or marching on a stair stepper; you lose weight when your body continues burning the same evil calories two, three or even four days after your workout. It is called exercise after-burn. It is something like "a delayed effect:" even though physical activity has already been completed, the consequences of it are still taking place. It makes sense that the most effective training in terms of burning calories is not when you sweat like hell, but when there is a maximum "delayed effect." In the English speaking world it is called "after-burn," or a more scientifically accurate — excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).
The whole point is that our body is trying to recover after exercise, to return to its prior state. Our body starts "burning" everything. Oxygen is "the burner." This way our body finds energy to "return" to its normal state. It is considered that every litre of oxygen accounts for 5 "burnt" calories.
Notice that I put the words "burning" and "burnt" into inverted commas. It is because whatever burns in our body doesn't get burnt like in a real fire. That's why counting calories of products doesn't make any practical sense; it is just an illusion that we really want to believe. It is hilarious to think that 100g of vodka has the same amount of calories as 100g of a pastry. So what? We know perfectly well that half a litre of vodka and half a kilo of pastries would have a completely different effect on your waist, right?
This is what happens during EPOC (Borsheim & Bahr, 2003):
The recovery of an energy source. First of all, we are talking about ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and phosphocreatine. Apart from that, "non-inflammable" lactic acid is converted into pyruvate, which can be "burnt" in a cell "oven". The body recovers glycogen spent on a workout (we metabolise glucose in the form of glycogen).
Blood enriched with oxygen and hormone balance. You need energy to work, and food is converted into energy under the influence of a huge quantity of oxygen. This oxygen expenditure has to be recovered as quickly as possible. Many hours after the workout is over and breathing is normalised, the body continues consuming a huge amount of oxygen. Moreover, the body activates an increased amount of hormones, a balance of which has to be normalised after strenuous work.
The body temperature falls. Basic physics shows that a considerable amount of heat is generated when muscles release energy while exercising. This demonstrates the law of energy conservation in action! Body temperature has to be normalised, and it requires spending energy (by other systems).
And, of course, breathing and cardiac rhythm have to be normalised.
Different mechanisms work here at a different pace. It takes us from 15 minutes to 48 hours to fully recover. Of course, the rate of recovery depends on the intensity and the duration of the workout. Also, the rate of recovery depends on the individual's physical strength level and age. It also depends on the gender (Borsheim & Bahr 2003), no matter how much we want to believe in gender equality… Everyone is equal in the face of a legal system, but physiology has its own laws: men "burn" 15-20% more calories when exercising in comparison to women who exercise with the same level of intensity. American researchers from five universities (LeCheminant et al., 2008) came together to investigate the impact of 16-months aerobics training on EPOC among obese men and women. They used a medium-level intensity walk on a treadmill. The results were unbelievable. It turned out that the training had an effect on men and men only. Well, it would be better if women never became obese, because unfortunately a treadmill wouldn't save them, as it was proven. It's not fair, right? Osterberg & Melby (2000) decided to study EPOC among healthy well-trained young women (under 27 years old). The experiment continued for 6 months. The training consisted of five sets with 10 different exercises each, repeated 10-15 times. Their work reached the end — total exhaustion. Bench press and barbell bent over row, leg press and leg curl, abs, dead lift, biceps curl and triceps pressdown, lunges and lateral deltoid. EPOC considerably increased and remained at a high level for 16 hours. Binzen, Swan & Manore (2001) studied women (29-31 years old) who previously did powerlifting and had a reasonably high level of fitness. The experiments showed that EPOC was quite noticeable and the utilisation of fat increased significantly. In other words, women can also lose weight if they work out properly. Would they be able to do that? Perhaps, they would rather be walking on a stair-stepper? It is also training; it's meaningless, but at least it's not too hard.
Speaking about cardiovascular exercise (a stationary bicycle, a treadmill, etc.), the more intensive the exercise, the more intensive and longer EPOC there is (Bahr and Sejersted, 1991; Smith and McNaughton, 1993; Phelain et al., 1997). At the same intensity, the longer the exercise is, the more intensive and longer EPOC (Bahr et. al., 1987; Chad and Wenger, 1988; Quinn et al., 1994). Australians LaForgia, Withers and Gore (2006) studied the effect of exercise of different intensity levels and duration. They found that we spend from 6 to 15% of energy while exercising, everything else gets burnt either afterwards (if it was a proper workout) or stays inside us, and is stored for later. The problem is that exercising at the right intensity is not accessible to the average individual. So, don't underestimate the contribution of exercise itself as 15% plays a significant role!
Although some research findings (Sedlock, 1992) on the surface contradict this data, we need to remember that not only the type of exercise, but also the participants' gender, age and the level of fitness play a role. The type of position undertaken (seating, standing, lying) is also important in interpreting the results of the experiments.
The conclusion is simple: having found the right level of intensity, don't forget to decide on its duration.
Moreover, there is a difference between the effect of continuous and interval training: interval training is more effective (Kaminsky et al., 1990; Laforgia et al., 1997; Melby et al., 1993; Laforgia et al., 1997). So, doing two sets of 25 minutes on a treadmill is more effective than training continuously for 50 minutes. High intensity training (two rounds of 5 sets, 10-15 repeats with weight of 60-70%) is less effective during the workout, but the "post-exercise" effect continues taking place for a while (Burleson et al. 1997; Osterberg & Melby, 2000). Even a "torn" tempo is more effective, when, for example, one 50-minutes training with 50% intensity is interrupted with two 70% "spurts" of 10 minutes duration (Kaminsky & Whaley, 1993).
By the way, what if we compare aerobics with weights?
For example, Elliot with friends (1992) compared stationary bicycle exercise (40 minutes at 80% of heart rate) with circuit training (4 sets, 8 exercises, 15 repetitions at 50% of maximum weight) and weight training (3 sets, 8 exercises, 3-8 repetitions at 80-90% of maximum weight). Giletter with colleagues (1994) compared stationary bicycle exercise (60 minutes at 50% VO2 max) and high-intensity training (5 sets, 10 exercises, 8-12 repetitions at 70% of RM). Thornton and Potteiger (2002) independently compared high-intensity exercise (2 sets, 8 reps at 80%) and low-intensity exercise (2 sets, 15 reps at 45%).
You won't believe it, but high-intensity exercise turned out to be more effective than circuit training and low-intensity exercise, while bicycle exercise fell behind every other type of training by almost a double. Regardless of this, the public always prefers to run on a treadmill, only imitating low-intensity exercise, and they definitely would never say yes to a high-intensity session. I would like to reiterate that the obvious benefits of high-intensity exercise over using fitness equipment for exercise were proven 20 years ago, but amateurs continue to run on a treadmill.
Circuit training is obviously very effective (Haltom et al., 1999). It is also obvious that weight lifting is much more effective than aerobics (Burleson et al., 1998). First of all, weight training is effective, because it interferes with homeostasis at a much greater level. It occurs because of the increased level of lactate in the blood and more intensive work of hormones-catecholamine (epinephrine and norepinephrine), as well as anabolic hormones (Reynolds and Kravitz, 2001). It is a double-edged sword: despite the obvious proof, not everyone wishes to work hard and intensively; a lot of people prefer to sweat a little bit on a treadmill, choosing the perceived easier option.
You need to understand the importance and uniqueness of weight training. For example, let's compare two types of training of the same volume, but different intensity: circuit training (3 rounds with 6 exercises, 10-12 repeats with 50% weight and 30-seconds rest) and a standard load (3 sets, 6 exercises, repeats to absolute failure with 80% weight and 120-seconds rest). Circuit training will be twice as more effective (Murphy and Schwarzkopf, 1992).
Schuenke, Mikal & McBride (2002) loaded young men (22-23 years old) with weights for 30 minutes (4 rounds: bench press, chest lift, squats – 10 reps to absolute failure). As a result, EPOC continued for much longer than expected for a 16-hours experiment. This high-intensity and high-volume weight training involves all main muscle groups and has minimal rest periods. This training has a much greater metabolic effect in comparison to other types of training (Pinto, Lupi & Brentano, 2012). According to my observations, not every experienced powerlifter is able to do a chest lift properly. Moreover, having earned a title of the Master of Sports in Weightlifting (when I was 25 years old), now, when I am 50 years old, I am being careful when it comes to this exercise. Again, we have concluded that the most effective exercises are not easily accessible for everyone.
Brazilian scientists made a big contribution to research into the effectiveness of training. In 2006, Foureaux, Pinto and Damaso proved that more intensive training ensures higher EPOC rates, and weight training is more effective than aerobics. Another Brazilian group (Farinatti, Neto, and da Silva) analysed 16 research studies, conducted in different counties; these studies focused on the effect of EPOC after different types of weight training. They concluded that workouts of a higher volume and intensity has a greater effect, but decreasing rest time (less than a minute between sets) doesn't produce the effect of the desired increase in energy expenditure. Thus, circuit training with weights can overall be quite effective. Meirelles and Gomes (2004) researched the effect of different types of weight load on EPOC. They found that weights do their job during a workout and the effect continues for many hours after it. It is crucial to adjust the weight accurately, as the desired effect will depend on it. The training volume is the most important for energy expenditure during a workout, but intensity is more important for EPOC. A Brazilian group (Pinto, Lupi, and Brentano, 2012) conducted a similar study using contemporary measuring devices, having identical results.
The Italians also made a contribution. Specialists from different universities (Paoli, Moro, Marconi, Neri, Bianco, Palma and Grimaldi, 2012) compared the effect of traditional weight training (8 exercises, 4 sets, 8-12 reps with 1-2 minutes rest; a total of 32 sets) and high-intensity circuit training (6 reps, 20-seconds rest, 2-3 reps, 20-seconds rest; three exercises, 2-3 sets with 2.5 minutes rest between sets; a total of 7 sets). The measurements were done 22 hours after the workout. The study proved that high intensity circuit training is much more effective; however, the duration of the workout shouldn't be very long, because inexperienced trainees are not able to handle such long and strenuous work.
Finally, British scientists shared a couple of findings. Speakman and Selman (2003) compared results of research on humans and animals. They painted an interesting and unexpected picture! Overall, EPOC phenomenon is similar among animals and humans, but there is one strange exception: flight training. It turns out that there is no difference between long and short flights in terms of their effect on metabolism. Of course, this phenomenon has deep roots: birds wouldn't be able to survive in the course of evolution if flying was an unbearable strain. The combination of life-supporting systems for birds is very well adapted to flying and flying is not interfering with homeostasis at all, because it doesn't require radical measures to restore, as flight is a norm for birds. However, we are much more interested in something else. It is important to understand that if a person has been training for a long time, it will give them an effect that is similar to birds' training to fly. Long and adequate training induces changes: first of all, in the biochemical composition of muscles, second of all, in all systems providing for this work, and weight training becomes a norm. An athlete trains and lives in a training condition as naturally as a bird flies!
So, the conclusion is the following: if you dream about losing weight, combine cardio with weights, and the heavier the weights are, the better (not less than 80% RM). The duration of a workout should not be less than 30 minutes with an intensity not lower than 70% of VO2 max. Circuit training is very effective, but if you can work with heavy weights like a pro, it is better to lift a lot and quickly, rather than a little for a long time. No matter how much you love running on a treadmill, if you really want to succeed in getting rid of fat, you have to include weight training at least twice a week. Here, I am not talking about exercise machines for pretty girls, but about real weight lifting, free weights: barbells and dumbbells. There is a big difference!

Breastfeed to Reduce Baby's Arsenic Exposure
Researchers from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, have just presented another reason why breastfeeding is so beneficial to babies: it lowers babies' exposure to arsenic, a toxic chemical associated with fetal death, low birth weight, and impaired cognitive function. Numerous studies indicate that, where arsenic levels are naturally high, breastfed babies have a relatively low level of arsenic in their urine. Formula-fed babies in these same areas exhibit higher urinary levels of the chemical.
Arsenic is a chemical element (atomic number 33, symbol As) known since ancient times to be toxic. It has been linked to diseases throughout the human lifespan that include cancer and gastrointestinal disorders.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in air, rocks, soil, and water. Plants and animals that consume arsenic-tainted water and feed on foods grown in arsenic-rich soil pass their exposure along to other animals, including humans, that eat these plants and animals.
Well water is a common natural source of arsenic exposure in the United States but the chemical is widely used in the pork and poultry industries to prevent disease and induce rapid weight gain. Industrial-scale farmers use the toxin to control infestations of fungi, bacteria, insects, and rodents.
In the human food supply, arsenic levels are usually highest in rice but other crops that also require great quantities of water have high levels of the chemical, too. Apple and grape juice, leafy green vegetables, and seafood are some foods most likely to contain arsenic.
Coal-fired power plants and landfills holding arsenic-treated lumber are two major sources for arsenic exposure in the air and soil.
Professor Kathryn Cottingham, of the Children's Environmental Health and Diseases Prevention Research Center at Dartmouth, tested arsenic levels from various sources across the state:
The tap water supply in 874 households was tested; some used well water as their primary source of water and others used water from a public supply.
Urine from 72 six-week-old babies.
Breast milk from 9 mothers, aged 18 to 45.
Cottingham's research team discovered relatively low levels of arsenic contamination overall but:
Urinary arsenic levels in babies fed exclusively on formula were 7.5 times higher than babies breastfed exclusively.
Arsenic intake/consumption was 5.5 times higher in babies fed only on formula.
The research team discovered arsenic in powdered baby formula as well as in the tap water used to liquify it for consumption. The more formula a baby consumed, the higher its level of urinary arsenic. The researchers suggest the formula "may be the primary source of exposure" for formula-fed infants, "specifically, formula powder accounted for 71% of median estimated exposure" for the infants in the study.
The researchers noted an interesting sequence of events in the urinary arsenic levels of babies fed with formula some of the time and breast milk at other times. The babies' urinary arsenic levels changed within minutes of feeding, with higher concentrations of the chemical following a formula feeding and dropping within minutes of breastfeeding.
