How to Write A Clothing Store About Us? [ Simple Guide]
6 January 2023 15 January 2023
About Us Page as an Introduction to Your Book (your website):
Just like an introduction to a book, your Clothing Store About Us page will outline the main structure of what you do, why you do it, and how you do it.
There will be opportunities to be more specific about each of these vital introductory topics as you go, but the About Us page is dedicated to this sole purpose.
Is it necessary to have an About Us Page?
Ask yourself what a customer does on your Clothing Store About Us page. There are at least two logical answers to this question:
It's their first time on your website.
They're looking to find out more about you.
Along with the quality of the products presented, you are your brand's voice, and you need to make it sound informative and trustable. According to the poll conducted by Hubspot, the About Us page is the second highest-rated element, with 31% ruling in the efficiency of a website.
Trust Plus Curiosity Equals Conversion Rate Increase
The Clothing Store About Us page is all about creating the foundations of trust and expectations. What do you do when you first meet a person? Contact information and addresses are being exchanged, and everything starts from this point.
Needless to say, you are running an Online Clothing Boutique, and these contact channels are the only bridges connecting you and your customers.
You may wonder if the Contact Us page does the same job, and you're not wrong, but the About Us page has other purposes as well. If you play your cards smart, you can look promising, and they may want to get back to you to hang out more. This is where curiosity comes in; you want to convince them to be willing to spend more time on you and your website.
Similarities vs. Differences
Let's be frank. If you're not an Oscar winner, a Nobel Prize laureate, Gandhi or some other distinguished figures, you need to work hard to highlight the unique aspects of what you do.
There are a lot of similarities in any given field of activity, including online Clothing Stores. So, it's a good idea to avoid emphasizing the things that everyone does, and it's for the best to attend to the products, services and qualities that you, and only you, are focused on.
Things You Include in Your Clothing Store About Us Page
Regardless of the different nature of every business, there are some common things to consider in whatever products or services a website has to offer. Put yourself in the customer's shoes and see what your immediate expectations are of an About Us page.
1. What are you selling?
Introduce your products or services. Sure, you have found a market gap you are willing to fill; describe that need and help your reader understand the solution you're putting forward. This is how you pave the way to earn their trust.

2. Tell your own unique story
As you may have heard, Seth Godin famously says: "Marketing is no longer about the stuff you make, but the stories you tell."
Ask yourself a couple of simple questions: What are your mission and vision? What does your brand stand for? Do you and your brand care about sustainability and other greater causes besides making money? It's more human to make friends and then lend a hand than to point directly at their pockets.
So, always keep this in mind: every business is a human interaction after all.
3. What differentiates you from them?
Why do you think you are a better choice than your competitors? Why should customers choose you? Make this argument more of a chat and convince them the way you try to persuade your close ones to do something.
4. Talk about your brand's origins
When's your birthday? It's one of the first pieces of information we get in making new friends, right? There is no need for you to be established ages ago to mention the date that you began your journey. Every few details on this matter will help you look honest and gain more trust.
5. Let your customers into your world
Don't hesitate to share some intimate moments of your journey, and the real people involved in your mission. Photos, videos and audios are a MUST in doing so.
6. Customers can vouch for you
Refer to customers' reviews. There is nothing more impressive than what others think of you. Show your customers the endorsements of other loyal clients; this will work magic on them.
7. Make yourself reachable
Introduce some other spaces that you're active in. You are a member of the apparel industry and need to be seen as a serious member of your community.
So, make your social media links available for the customers to check on you themselves. Quick access to these platforms by placing social media buttons in your eCommerce clothing store is more convenient.
Providing a map to your physical location (if there is any) is an extra point.
8. Share mutual happiness
What can guarantee your dedication to customers' happiness more than them showing it? Make sure to be actively present on your preferred social media platforms with photos of the customers wearing your products, looking beautiful and satisfied with their purchases.
9. Be proud of your qualities
Certifications, testimonials, awards, statistics, infographics and specialized business reports are proof of you doing a good job. Please, don't be shy and share them with first time visitors to help them decide on your credibility.
10. Call to action
You can't afford to miss any chance to involve your visitors in actions to turn them into customers. Leading them through links to your website can place them in a buying position, or at least considering.
Face them with "something to do" right away. You may lay out different kinds of actions to have their attention, providing them with links to your complete detailed catalogs, following hot trends, giving them some tips to look sexier and so on.
11. Be brief
No matter who, everyone's time is precious; in other words, the About Us page should be as short as possible, and if you need an exact number, it's been said that 2000 words will do the job.
Improve Your Search Engine Ranking with the About Us Page
When it comes to your online Clothing Store About Us page, you may be busy with some other means of persuasion and not paying particular attention to SEO. But actually you put a lot of backlinks to improve your Clothing Store's search engine ranking.
Update, Revise, Reframe
You and your brand will change along the way. Your gained experiences will affect the way you look into the world and your business. So, you need to update your information, revise your content, reframe the format, and present your story more relevant to your ever changing-ecosystem.
Caution: Don't be Another Template!
You want to be unique, singled out and the one with something new to offer. Practice this notion in every process, and don't apply overused forms.
Your Clothing Store About Us page is where you can strongly show that you are new and even (carefully) unusual. Be bold, innovative and willing to experience. Who doesn't want to be surprised (again, carefully)? Try it, and keep in mind that you can always Update, Revise and Reframe your Online Clothing Business About Us page.
Remember that not all your customers are scholars or literary masters; even if they are, they're not in your Clothing Store About Us page to read a literary masterpiece. So, write what you have in mind in the simplest form. Don't waste your customers' time and present them with a number of facts. This way, they will trust you and listen to what you have to say. Let the truth speak instead of fancy words.

Home » Abraham Lincoln participates in joint exercise
Abraham Lincoln participates in joint exercise
Amanda Towner
Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7, attached to the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group (ABECSG), and a U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress, part of a Bomber Task Force assigned to the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, conducted joint operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility on June 1, 2019.
The operations emphasize Joint Force integration and interoperability within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
"It's a pretty awesome feeling to look up and see our jets flying alongside the Air Force bomber," said Capt. William "Spig" Reed, commander, CVW- 7. "The training the air wing conducted with the B-52's today is an incredible demonstration of how our military can to rapidly join capabilities to enhance our lethality and our ability to respond to any threat when called upon."
During the exercises, CVW-7 and the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron conducted several joint training evolutions designed to improve operational tactics in several warfare areas. Exercises included air-to-air training, flying in formation, and simulated strike operations in defense of a national asset.
"While the Air Force trains different assets together all the time, including Navy F-18s, we typically don't have the opportunity to integrate with the surface fleet," said Lt. Col. Scott Mills, U.S. Air Forces Central Command 609th Air and Space Operations Center air and space strategist. "As we train together, it gives us the chance to examine the bias we each bring to the engagement. We each learn about the other's domain by searching for areas of dissonance."
F/A-18E Super Hornets and E-2D Growlers from CVW-7 embarked on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and conducted a self-escort strike with an Air Force B-52H Stratofortress Bomber. With the Lincoln aircraft simulating opposing and friendly forces, the training gave both sides the chance to interact with elite aircraft.
"The most interesting part about working with any individual aircraft you haven't had the chance to work with yet is getting to see what unique capabilities it has," said Lt. Chase Strickland, a pilot attached to the "Sidewinders" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 86 and CVW-7's coordination lead of the joint exercise. "It's fascinating getting to train and work with the strategic bomber that has updated capabilities, the latest electronics and the most advanced software."
The B-52H Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber that has been operated by the U.S. Air Force since 1955. The aircraft can carry up to 70,000 pounds of weapons and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles. Its anti-ship and mine-laying capabilities make it a highly-effective asset to assist the Navy in ocean surveillance.
"Each of our respective services influences the other," Mills said. "Future conflicts will almost never be restricted to a single domain, and even then the other service can enhance the effectiveness of the others. Today's mission represents our ability to project air and sea power around the globe. When we act, we do so as one force, no separate services. Exercises like today ensure that can happen anywhere, anytime."
CVW-7 Super Hornets conducted a joint close air support exercise with the Bomber. Additionally, MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopters from CVW-7, along with the B-52H, conducted strike coordination and reconnaissance (SCAR) exercises. The exercise provided a rare training opportunity as it joined multiple tactical aircraft across DoD lines.
"The training shows effective coordination between two of the strongest military components as they come together to execute a single mission set," Strickland said. "It illustrates the effective leadership and the team-of-teams capability within the DoD."
The demonstration of flexible and adaptable joint operations shows U.S. military forces are prepared to respond to contingencies and defend U.S. forces and interests in the region.
"This operation allowed us to train interoperability, focus on defense and interdiction, and provide air support to our naval fleet defense," said Lt. Gen. Joseph Guastella, Combined Forces Air Component commander. "Our land, air, and sea assets are even stronger and more effective together and we're postured to face any threats toward U.S. forces in the region."
ABECSG is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points. With Abraham Lincoln as the flagship, deployed strike group assets include staffs, ships and aircraft of Carrier Strike Group 12 (CSG 12), Destroyer Squadron 2 (DESRON 2), USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) and Carrier Air Wing 7 (CVW 7).

Review: "Avengers: Age of Ultron"
May 2, 2015 Garrett Reviews	Age of Ultron, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, Captain America, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, comic books, Elizabeth Olsen, Hulk, Hydra, Iron Man, James Spader, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Marvel, movie review, Quicksilver, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlet Witch, Scarlett Johansson, super heroes, The Avengers, Thor, Ultron
Marvel fans will assemble — heh, heh — at theaters this weekend for the hotly anticipated sequel to 2012's "The Avengers." So the big question on everyone's lips, metallic or otherwise: Can "Age of Ultron" live up to its predecessor?
Well…not quite.
But that's okay.
The film opens with the Avengers — Steve Rogers's Captain America, Tony Stark's Iron Man, Natasha Romanoff's Black Widow, Bruce Banner's Hulk, Clint Barton's Hawkeye and Thor's…uh…Thor — attempting to recover Loki's scepter from a Hydra base in Europe. There we're introduced to the brother-sister pairing of super-fast Pietro (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and telekinetic Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), their powers the result of Hydra's experiments.
After recovering the scepter, Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce (Mark Ruffalo) use it to secretly develop an A.I. that will bolster a robotic defense system to supplant the Avengers. Tony envisions a suit of armor around the world. He calls it the Ultron program. Once activated, Ultron (voiced by James Spader) decides to push his maker's agenda to the nth degree: the only way to save the planet is to eliminate the human race.
The first act of "Ultron" left me worried. Despite the use of some CG-enhanced long takes, there's very little sense of geography in the opening sequence. The storytelling is more convoluted this time out. (Seriously, my eyes went crossed writing those last couple paragraphs.) We suffer through some pretty knotty exposition. More than once, I found myself going Wait, who's that? Am I supposed to know this character? Where's so-and-so now? Still, writer-director Joss Whedon weaves in some wonderful setup. My favorite instance involves a pissing contest over Thor's hammer. Tony, Steve and Bruce try to lift it in an effort to prove themselves worthy. The payoff to this is hugely satisfying and a great development at a critical juncture for our heroes.
The new additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe are mostly strong. This is the best Elizabeth Olsen has been since her acclaimed performance in "Martha Marcy May Marlene." Aaron Taylor-Johnson is sleepy as ever, but his screen time is short and lines of dialog even shorter. Ultron is one of studio's best villains, though the competition is admittedly light. I enjoyed Spader's dulcet tones as Ultron cracks wise – "I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan" – though he does tend to prattle on.
And yes, he's involved in another destroy-the-world plot. Think about successful sequels like "Skyfall" and "The Empire Strikes Back." No fights for world domination, no planet-destroying battle stations. Just personal struggles that make the stakes that much higher.
But "Ultron" isn't without those intimate dramas. There's an attraction between Natasha and Bruce. Though it's pretty standard path – unfortunately, as Black Widow is the series' most prominent female — the forbidden love angle works. With the monster that rages inside him, Bruce is reluctant to let anyone get too close. We also learn about Pietro and Wanda's troubled past, which complicates their relationship to the Avengers.
Like many second chapters – I'm looking at you again, "Empire" – this one's darker than the first. Literally. Ben Davis's cinematography brings shadows into the frame, which are a nice change of pace from the brightly lit and generally flat "Avengers." Even the action feels heavier this time what with the percussive editing…though it can get tedious. Crash! Bang! Repeat. One sequence that benefits from the strategy is the fight between Hulk and a souped-up Iron Man. To borrow from another comic book movie, this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
The film isn't all doom and gloom. Whedon's wit is as sharp as ever. In one of the more comical scenes, Hawkeye embraces the absurdity that super hero movies traffic in: "We're fighting a robot army, and I've got a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense!" Renner has a lot more to work with than he has in other Marvel outings. Fans of Whedon's "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" might see parallels to Xander. I certainly did. Hawkeye is a normal person amidst Gods (and some with God-like egos). It affords him an opportunity to see things the others can't.
Despite not being as strong as "The Avengers," "Age of Ultron" is a very successful sequel. It expands on the universe, introduces new characters, develops old ones and, per usual with Marvel, sets up things to come.
Most Disappointing Films of 2014
January 3, 2015 January 5, 2015 Garrett Uncategorized	Begin Again, disappointment, film, Guy Pearce, Inherent Vice, Joaquin Phoenix, Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, movies, musical, Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Pattinson, The Rover
Happy New Year, everyone! I hate to start 2015 with a negative post, but since I recently wrote about my most anticipated films of the year, I thought I would share a few 2014 titles that didn't live up to my expectations. (I've excluded Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar," since I already wrote about my disappointment with that film.)
This one may or may not have been on your radar. It's the second feature from David Michod. His first, "Animal Kingdom," was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (Jacki Weaver), and it was one of my favorite films of 2010. It's a masterclass in the slow burn. "The Rover"…not so much. It's hard to imagine a film with so many graphic headshots could be so dull. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Guy Pearce plays Eric, a man bent on retrieving his car from a trio of thieves. In an effort to find the three baddies, he kidnaps one of their brothers, Rey (Robert Pattinson). There's clear conflict, one man holding another against his will. There's a certain level of intrigue — we don't know why, at least not right away, but Eric is fixated on getting this particular car back and there'll be hell to pay if he doesn't. Yet it feels so tedious. It's the type of film that's filled with silences and close-ups of weathered faces, which might speak volumes if we had any sense of what was driving these characters. Instead, we're subjected to one grisly encounter after another without any real sense of forward movement or stakes. It just feels as though we're perpetually circling the drain. I really liked the final reveal, when the reason for Eric's dogged determination becomes clear, but it comes way too late. Instead of bringing the water to a boil, Michod leaves us with limp noodles.
Here's another follow-up to a promising debut: John Carney's 2007 musical, "Once," was the little indie that could, earning an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Based on the strength of his first film, I was really looking forward to Carney's next, "Begin Again." Positive buzz out of the Toronto Film Festival did nothing to diminish my excitement. But sadly, this film is the antiseptic cousin to "Once." Gretta (Keira Knightley) is a singer-songwriter who recently left her cheating rockstar boyfriend. Dan (Mark Ruffalo) is a music executive separated from his wife and struggling to adapt to the changing industry. Like "Once," both are artists aspiring to be more, informed by their relationship baggage. The film is frontloaded with drama…tired and stock drama, but drama none-the-less, but the second half is marked by an almost complete lack of it. Once the two commit to an artistic partnership and decide to record their album in locations throughout New York City, everything is sunshine and roses. For example, Dan visits one of his old clients, a superstar now. He pitches his idea, and tells the client that he needs drummers. "I'll find drummers for ya." But Dan can't afford to pay them. "Shoot, I'll pay for them out of my own pocket." This scene takes all of 30 seconds. "Once" had genuine struggle and melancholy, which made the ending so gratifying. I really liked the music in "Begin Again," but it forgets that you need darkness to appreciate the light. The film feels like 100 minutes of characters playing in a nice, safe sandbox.
During an interview for "Insomnia," a film about a detective suffering from sleep deprivation, which might just be the least of his problems, director Christopher Nolan talked about the importance of communicating sleepiness without making the audience tired. Now, I think Paul Thomas Anderson, the writer and director of "Inherent Vice," is one of the most talented filmmakers working today. Much too talented to make a meandering and directionless film just because it's about a meandering and directionless character…but that's what we got. Joaquin Phoenix plays Doc, a Private Eye searching for his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend. It would take way too much real estate to go into the rest of the plot, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing. From "The Big Sleep" to "The Big Lebowski," I've enjoyed a number of gumshoe detective movies with convoluted plots that I could scarcely recount. The performances here are all very strong, particularly Phoenix, Katherin Waterston as his ex, Josh Brolin as a policeman with a twinkle in his eyes that "says civil rights violation," and Martin Short (!) as a dentist, but at two-and-a-half hours, this film is such a slog. It's intermittently funny, but most of the humor is pretty sophomoric. In an early scene, Brolin's "Bigfoot" Bjornsen slowly eats a banana on a stick. It looks like this macho officer of the law is performing felatio! Get it? Get it?! It's not particularly funny the first time, and then we return to the joke, not once, but twice. I've seen a number of people defend the film, "Just go for the ride," but does the ride need to be so damn long and aimless?
What were your most disappointing films of 2014? Comment below!


Again the Sun steers our day with an revitalizing angle to Mars. It will be a good time to confront people, because we'll have the energy to make sure that our points are understood. But, we will have to make sure that we are very clear about what we want to say, because Mercury is now retrograde and our words may be misconstrued. But, since the Sun, Venus and Mercury are all still in the harmonizing sign Libra, people will go out of their way to keep the peace.
The Word of the Day is INTRINSIC. There exists a quality to our thoughts and actions that comes from the central, fundamental essences of our beings. We look inside to identify our desires today.
The Color of the Day is PERSIMMON. (It's red with a splash of orange.) Wearing persimmon will strengthen our resolve and revitalize our physical energy.


Sri Lankan government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels are engaged in continued heavy fighting for control of an irrigation channel in the east of the country. Aid officials in the area are concerned about a growing humanitarian crisis facing tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the fighting.
Officials from the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers agree that water from a disputed irrigation channel resumed its flow Wednesday, after two weeks of heavy fighting - but they agree on little more.
The two sides continued to exchange artillery fire Thursday for control of the channel, which provides water to some 60,000 people on government-held land. Each side accuses the other of inflicting heavy casualties on civilians in the Trincomalee district, where the dispute is centered.
Aid workers estimate that up to 50,000 people have been driven out of their homes, seeking shelter in schools, mosques and churches. But the violence has prevented aid groups from reaching all the camps, so they have yet to determine the full scale of the humanitarian crisis.
Katey Grusovin, a spokesperson for the United Nations Children's agency says aid groups are trying to reach displaced people before there is a serious outbreak of disease.
"When you've got thousands of people cramped into incredibly small spaces, having not enough latrines and not enough water and so on, then you have the perfect environment for disease to spread and spread very, very quickly," said Grusovin.
The civilian population in Trincomalee district is especially vulnerable, Grusovin says, because of a series of recent calamities.
"They've suffered multiple displacements in recent years - not just from the previous conflict, but also from the tsunami, the flooding recently, and now this. And they've lost everything," said Grusovin.
The Tamil Tigers say they reopened the irrigation channel Wednesday after an appeal by a senior Norwegian peace envoy. Sri Lankan military officials, however, say their forces are in control of the reservoir.
The fighting, which has now entered its third week, is the worst since the government and the rebels signed a ceasefire in 2002, intended to bring an end to two decades of civil war.
The Tamil Tigers launched a campaign for independence for predominantly Tamil areas in the north and east of the country, because of what they said was oppression by Sri Lanka's Sinhalese majority.
Analysts say that the recent round of fighting threatens to restart the broader conflict, which has already claimed 60,000 lives.

Vandalism spree in American Canyon leaves vehicles damaged
By Debora Villalon
KTVU FOX 2
Who is busting up cars in American Canyon?
Someone is busting up cars and windows in American Canyon. Debora Villalon reports
AMERICAN CANYON, Calif. - A one-night vandalism spree in American Canyon left more than a dozen cars damaged, and police are hoping home security video leads to whoever is responsible.
The damage was widespread, among a dozen streets, many of them on the city's west side.
"It's not fair, somebody needs to pay for this," said Reina Monge, whose new Ford Transit van had a side window shattered. It was parked on the street outside her home when vandals roamed the neighborhood, sometime after midnight Wednesday.
"I don't know if they're children or who would do this but it's costly for us to replace it and seems so inconsiderate," said Monge's daughter-in-law Arleene Correa.
Police have taken 13 reports so far: vehicles, trailers and RV's, some hit with spray paint and others with windows shattered.
Police believe the suspect stopped to bash out some windows, and shot others out with a pellet gun.
"I let my insurance company know, and I've got an appointment on Saturday to get the glass replaced," said victim Ryan Andel, whose Dodge pickup truck suffered a shattered window. "They didn't steal anything or go inside the truck so I was wondering why they even did it."
His household has home security cameras in front, but the vandal wasn't in view.
"It's just a deviant, these kids are running around," said Andel's aunt, Vickie Zupo. "It makes you pretty angry to think this is happening because it's a lot of money."
Investigators believe the actual numbers of victims will grow as more people discover damage.
"People work hard for their cars and possessions," said American Canyon Police Chief Oscar Ortiz, "so to come out for another day of work and find your car vandalized, it's very upsetting."
Past serial vandals have been apprehended in American Canyon by mining home security video, and zeroing in on suspects.
"We have no images yet, but we've had success with this before," said Ortiz, "and this community will not hesitate to call us if they see something."
With victims scattered on so many streets, neighborhood groups are spreading the word, and some residents are moving vehicles into garages when possible, or at least onto driveways as a safeguard.
"There's even money in the car door that wasn't touched," said one victim, surveying the gaping hole where his car window used to be.
He declined to give his name, but expressed disgust with the pointless destruction of property.
"I think it's terrible, probably irresponsible kids who have nothing of their own and don't know what it is to own something."
Residents hope the vandalism was an isolated incident, and won't be repeated.
"We work so hard to have these things," said Monge, alongside her bashed-in van. "This is our family vehicle and they did this to us. It's frustrating."
Anyone with information or surveillance video to share should call American Canyon Police non-emergency dispatch at (707) 253-4451.

Review posted March 24, 2018.
Eerdman's Books for Young Readers, 2017. 32 pages.
I have a thing for books where someone gets eaten – or eating gets thwarted. When a Wolf Is Hungry falls into the latter category.
So Edmond heads into the city.
He stopped in front of a tall apartment building.
Oh, Edmond was so happy!
he pressed the button for the elevator.
Inside the elevator, he set down the knife and adjusted his bow tie.
But of course, he forgot his knife in the elevator.
A turkey finds the knife in the elevator and says it's just what she needs to cut this cake. So when Edmond comes back, it's gone.
So he returns to try again with a chainsaw – and a bear asks to borrow it to trim a hedge on the roof. Similar fate befalls a rope, a big pot, and his barbecue grill. That one is borrowed by a lovely young wolf who thinks he's a new neighbor.
When he's had too much and decides to just eat the rabbit with some mustard, there's a note on the rabbit's door saying "I'm on the roof." When the wolf reaches the roof, he finds all the apartment residents he encountered before, including the lovely young wolf. He finds out why they wanted to borrow his things – and let's just say he makes some new life choices.
This one isn't laugh-out-loud funny, but it's understated and lovely and a happy ending for everyone.


Description: The current developments will be used to create a suspended particle transport model which is specific for the sub-basin. The wave data obtained in Activity 1 will be used to calculate the maximum orbital particle speed along the coastline, based on the linear wave theory. The coastline streams caused by the waves (output data from Activity 1) will be calculated. The previous calculations will be used to calculate the particle speeds according to the sediment structure.
Outcome: Suspended particle transport model. A database with model-generated wave-induced coastline stream data, which (as necessary) may later be visualised as GIS layers and used for other (e.g., pollutant transfer) calculations. A database with the model-generated particle transfer speed data, which (as necessary) may be visualised as GIS layers. The data will be used in Objective 3 of Activity 2.
Description: The particle transfer model developed in Objective 1 of Activity 2 will be used to calculate the distances which sand particles may travel during one storm.
Outcome: A database with model-generated distances of particle transfer during a storm, which (as necessary) may be visualised as GIS layers. The data will be used for model calculations in Objective 3 of Activity 2.
Description: The model developed in Objective 1 of Activity 2 and the model calculations performed within Objective 2 will be used to calculate the time (for how long the particles stay suspended) and the distance (how far and into which directions the particles may travel) for the suspended particle movements within one storm. The effects of the transferred particles on the coastline will be calculated. These data will be processed and presented spatially. Following the fieldwork (Activity 3) and the acquisition of new data, the model will be re-launched to verify the data and to introduce/integrate new data.
Outcome: As a result, data regarding the effects of the suspended particles on the coastline will be obtained for use in Activity 3.

19 Podróż Apostolska Jana Pawła II miała miejsce w dniach 14-15 sierpnia 1983 roku. Pielgrzymka została zorganizowana z okazji 125. rocznicy objawień Matki Bożej w Lourdes, 50. rocznicy kanonizacji św. Bernadetty i 1950. rocznicy Odkupienia. Była to zarazem pierwsza wizyta głowy Kościoła Rzymskokatolickiego w sanktuarium Matki Bożej w Lourdes. Przedtem, począwszy od Piusa IX, który ogłosił dogmat o Niepokalanym Poczęciu Najświętszej Marii Panny, wszyscy papieże wysyłali jedynie swoich legatów do Lourdes, aby ich reprezentowali podczas ważnych wydarzeń w tamtejszym sanktuarium.

Przebieg pielgrzymki
14 sierpnia 1983 Jan Paweł II po przybyciu do groty Massabielle w sanktuarium w Lourdes powtórzył te same gesty, co Bernadetta: ukląkł, ucałował ziemię, zapalił świecę, napił się wody ze źródła, dotknął skały po czym modlił się.

W swym pierwszym przemówieniu w grocie papież przypominał sens orędzia z Lourdes w kontekście Odkupienia, zwracając uwagę zgromadzonych na aktualność wezwania do nawrócenia, które Maryja wygłosiła objawiając się przez 150 laty w grocie.

Na zakończenie pierwszego dnia wizyty odbyła się tradycyjna wieczorna procesja ze światłami. Z tarasu bazyliki Różańcowej papież wezwał wiernych m.in. do modlitw za cierpiących głód, okropności wojny i za wszystkich prześladowanych za wiarę.

W drugim dniu wizyty, podczas przypadającego święta Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Marii Panny, papież odmówił brewiarz z kapłanami zgromadzonymi w bazylice Różańcowej a następnie odmówił specjalną modlitwę za spowiedników, po której rozesłał wszystkich kapłanów do słuchania spowiedzi wiernych.

W wygłoszonej podczas mszy homilii raz jeszcze podkreślił jubileuszowy cel swej pielgrzymki do Lourdes.

W godzinach popołudniowych papież spotkał się w bazylice Piusa X z młodzieżą. Przemawiając do ponad 25 tysięcy zgromadzonych młodych ludzi wezwał ich do naśladowania w życiu drogi Chrystusa.

Po spotkaniu z młodzieżą Jan Paweł II przemówił do chorych wzywając ich, aby ofiarowali swe cierpienia za Kościół.

EL REY DE BASEBALL | ROBERTO CLEMENTE
From the desk of Contributing Editor, Eli M. Getson–
Roberto Clemente is, was, and will always be the standard that all Latino ball players will be measured against. He and Lou Gehrig are the only players to have the five year Hall of Fame waiting period waived so they could gain immediate entry. A legendary baseball player– the classic five tool guy, but he also was someone who rose above sports– his selflessness and dedication to help other human beings transcended baseball, and lifted all people regardless of color, creed, or religion. He was a trailblazer for Latin players who carried himself with grace & dignity– and possessed a fierce will to excel.

Nothing was as breath taking as watching Clemente's batting helmet fly off as he legged out a triple after clubbing the ball into the gap or watching one of his defensive gems in old Forbes Field. Most will never forget the fact that his 3,000th hit was achieved at his last at bat– almost as if the fates knew he would not be among us much longer.
Sept 30th, 1972 — Roberto Clemente made his 3,000 hit. Doug Harvey, umpire, is shown handing him the ball on the field. — Image by © Bettmann/Corbis
The final memories of Clemente for most were from the 1971 World Series when the Pirates beat the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles. Clemente's stat line was epic for a seven game series-.414 average, hits in every game, two doubles, a triple, and two home runs along with best in class base running, fielding, and throwing. Yet stats are deceiving– it was more that his force of will drove his team to victory– hard to do in a situational game like baseball. Being interviewed in the locker room after the final out he said, "Thank you Bob (to announcer Bob Prince), and before I say anything in English, I'd like to say something in Spanish to my Mother and Father in Puerto Rico…En el dia mas grande de mi vida, para los nenes la benedicion mia y que mis padres me echen la benedicion (In the most important day of my life, I give blessings to my boys and ask that my parents give their blessing)"

Clemente, Pittsburgh's National League batting champ, is shown here receiving a warm parental hug. — Image by © Bettmann/Corbis
(Above right) March 06, 1965 — Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the National League batting champ in 1964, gets an encouraging visit from his mother as he lies in Mimiya Hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Clemente is recovering from what his doctors have diagnosed as either malaria or paratyphoid. The star outfielder is late for spring training but is expected to join the Pirates by April 1965. — Image by © Bettmann/Corbis
In a moment when the whole world was watching– from a man who had fought so hard to transcend narrow stereotypes– he made the conscious choice to speak to us in his native tongue and touched millions in the Spanish speaking world. It was a moment of fierce pride not just for Clemente but for all of those that lived vicariously through him.

He died tragically trying to help earthquake victims in Nicaragua; his motto in his final years was "If you have a chance to help others and fail to do so, you are wasting your time of this earth." It is rarity in this day and age that a star would risk his life so freely to help others in need– but for this man it was unfathomable that he wouldn't.

09 Oct 1972, Cincinnati, Ohio — Getting his first hit since reaching the 3,000 hit circle, Pirates' Roberto Clemente is as proud as a peacock in the 4th inning 10/9. The double was his first hit of the playoffs. — Image by © Bettmann/Corbis

Kalani says:
Great post. I'm thoroughly enjoying how the depth of your blog has evolved so much since Late 2008/early 2009. Keep em coming.
John J. Cihon says:
Baseball in general, and my Pittsburgh Pirates in particular, could sure use another star with the manner and ability that Roberto Clemente had.
Without a doubt. Clemente and Willie Stargel were the cornerstones of that club.
He was grace personified
Once again, phenomenal post. It's one thing to document a celebrity or great figure, but the depth at which you outline their lives brings so much more to each of these figures.
American Man says:
The photo of the umpire handing Clemente the ball after his 3,000th hit is absolutely haunting. After accumulating such a staggering number of hits in his career, it seemed like they would just keep coming for a few more seasons. Little did he know that this would be his final hit ever.
dewarshark says:
great post. as a young kid growing up in the midwest, he was my hero. major league baseball was seriously wounded for me when he died on that humanitarian mission, and baseball officially died for me after the strike.
Clemente stood out i an era of truly great outfielders. He was perhaps the best fielder of them all and surely had the best arm.
Riatch says:
Clemente was very proud of his heritage. He was compassionate to all … and gave his life trying to better help the victims of the earthquake in Managua. He was a joy to watch …. at the plate, on the basepaths and in the field. But his compassion anddignity is what sets him apart from all other baseball players.
The Human Riff says:
The epitomy of class. Mays and Aaron, his 2 peers, were so different. Mays hated the public, and refused autographs. Aaron was quiet, but refused to address Bonds as a cheater and take a stance. RC had the five tools and was a proud, humanitarian who gave it his best on and off the field.
Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, A-hole, Palmeiro etc….losers and cheaters. RC was the purest and the best!! May his memory continue like him digging out a triple or making a leaping catch!!

The Green-eyed Hawker – Norfolk Hawker ( Aeshna isosceles ) has been re-named from the Norfolk Hawker in order to acknowledge it's largely European distribution. It can only be found in numbers at localised sites in eastern counties of England such as sheltered areas at Hickling Broad in Norfolk (shown below) and sites in Suffolk. Waters with large stands of reed are preferred and it is missing from colder regions. Its absence in Iberia is due to the lack of reed marshes. In size it is somewhat larger than the Migrant Hawker ( Aeshna mixta ) but smaller than the Moorland Hawker ( Aeshna juncea ).
Both sexes have all light brown abdomens with a central dark line and no blue markings, striking green eyes and a yellow triangle on the upperside of Segment 2. Unlike the Migrant Hawker this is truly a narrow triangle. The wings are clear with dark veins and have a thin, yellow, dark centred pterostigma. On the male there is diagnostic amber colouring on the inner hindwings.


The filmmakers' movement to support public television's public purpose and mission has now moved to a new level, with the formation of a steering committee and full participation by the International Documentary Association, the world's leading member organization promoting documentary film. The initial members of the committee are the following veteran and award-winning filmmakers who have long supported and been supported by public television: Beth Bird, Heather Courtney, Marshall Curry, Tim Horsburgh (for KTQ), Byron Hurt, Brad Lichtenstein, Steve Mendelsohn, Paco de Onis, Gordon Quinn, Julia Reichert, Bernardo Ruiz, Carlos Sandoval, Renee Tajima-Pena, Michael Winship, Pamela Yates.
The committee's first action was to craft a new open letter to PBS, and to begin planning for public events that can showcase the critical importance of public-purpose programming to public television and to the nation's media ecology.
This steering committee came into being because PBS had moved Independent Lens off the core schedule, to Thursdays, the one night in the week that PBS has pledged not to program. This put it into direct conflict with many stations' local programming. We were alarmed to see, in a recent Current article, the immediate effects on the viewership for Independent Lens, and feared for POV's audience should that series also be moved when its season starts in June. Our "PBS Needs Indies" open letter received high profile support from groups such as the IDA, WGA East, NALIP, and Women Make Movies, as well as a wave of PBS viewer support resulting from a blog by Bill Moyers. Over 1,000 filmmakers and viewers have now pledged their support for these programs.
We are grateful and appreciate PBS' willingness, announced as of March 23, to reconsider that move. We eagerly look forward to PBS giving both of these series a designated slot on the PBS core schedule, where audiences can find it in the same place every week.
We highly value PBS' role in showcasing programs that allow viewers to become more active members of their society. While Independent Lens and POV shows are far from the only examples of such public television programs, they join other such work in showcasing overlooked issues, reaching underserved audiences, connecting with younger and more diverse viewers, engaging viewers far beyond the screen, and enriching the nation's media landscape.
This incident has renewed our community's awareness of the critical value of PBS to the national media ecology. We know that public broadcasting, uniquely funded by taxpayers, reaches people at every level of society, in virtually every locality in the country. And we will continue to foster dialogue among the community of independent filmmakers about the significance of public broadcasting, and their own role in it.

Notice of Industrial Action from Port Authority of New South Wales
Please see below received from the Port Authority of New South Wales in regards to an Industrial Action commencing on 24th October 2017:
Port Authority of New South Wales has been negotiating with the Australian Maritime Officers Union (AMOU) and Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) over a replacement Enterprise Agreement for its Sydney workforce since February 2017.
Unfortunately these negotiations continue to remain difficult to finalise as the unions are maintaining a position which seeks employment guarantees that Port Authority is unable to provide.
Port Authority of New South Wales wishes to advise that it has now received notification of protected industrial action to be undertaken by MUA members working on board pilot cutters operated by the Port Authority from Port Jackson and Port Botany as follows:
24 hour stoppage commencing at 0600 Tuesday 24th October 2017.
The action proposed will suspend the use of the pilot vessels to embark and disembark Pilots in Port Jackson and Port Botany.
The MUA have agreed to exempt the following functions from any industrial action:
Watch keeping at sea;
Fire Rounds;
Port security watches;
Safety drills;
Product tanker and crude oil tanker vessels;
Passenger cruise vessels;
All dealings with emergency equipment in any manner; and
Any and all safety and emergency related issues.
Please be advised that this industrial action does not exempt perishables and therefore the movement of container vessels scheduled during this period will be affected.
Emergency response, Vessel Traffic Services and other Port Officer functions (other than pilot cutter movements) will be required to continue as normal during this period of industrial action.
Port Authority of New South Wales remains committed to reaching agreement with its employees whilst minimising, wherever possible, the impacts on you and your business, and we will provide regular updates to inform you of further developments at the earliest possible opportunity.

The Global Clinic Rating (GCR) is an international healthcare clinic standard, which selects 10 best health centres in a given country every year. The selection criteria are demanding and they cover such things as service quality, medical staff, patients' opinions, service customer, the centre's image or even the number of the procedures carried out in the centre. The average evaluation of 1883 clinics in Poland is 2.42. The result of the Denta-Med Centre is 3.98, and it gives the facility the 5th position on the list of 10 best clinics in the country!
This is not only something to be proud of, but this score also motivates us to improve the clinic's standards even more. We would like to thank all of our Patients, because their trust resulted in such a strong position of our team.


The fifth installment in an (very) occasional series on boats which interest me. I've always loved the look and style of the Grand Banks Trawlers especially the models with the larger rear cockpit. With the present 43 classic starting at 1.5 million of thereabouts this is beyod the reach of many but one of the older smaller 32's could be just the ticket and a boat that I like a lot.
The Grand Banks 32 was in production for more than 25 years. When the last one was splashed in 1996 861 of the venerable little cruisers had been built. Initially built of wood production changed to fiberglass in the mid 70's reputedly without the factory telling consumers and dealers. In fact little changed over the production run of the boats and from a distance it is hard to tell a well cared for wooden example from a later fiberglass boat. Power comes from a single six cylinder naturally aspirated Ford Lehman engine of either 120 or 135 hp which gives a stately cruising speed in the 8 knot range. Although no race horse the displacement hull is sea kindly and will keep going in conditions that will have other boats heading for home. Fuel consumption at cruising speed is a miserly two and half gallons per hour so it is possible to cruise all day without breaking the bank. Make no mistake this a is a heavy boat with a displacement of 17000 pounds. A solid lay up and quality construction means that the 32 like the other boats in the Grand Banks line up retain their prices and you can expect to pay around $100,000 for a late 80's model.
Grand Banks are not without their problems however and the Achilles heels with these boat is mostly centered around the fuel tanks with leaking tanks a common topic of conversation amongst owners. Many have been replaced by now but a boat with the original tanks may require tank replacement at some time which can be a costly and difficult job.
The layout for of the vessel is seaman like and thoughtful. Rather than extend the salon out to the sides of the hull the 32 has large proper walk around decks, high secure handrail and easy access to the foredeck where you will find a short bowsprit with room for not one but two anchors. Early boats had the galley toward the aft of the salon but this was soon changed to move the galley forward along the port side. There is ample worktop space, hot and cold water, a deep stainless sink, an under counter fridge and a large oven and cook top; propane is stored under the seat on the fly bridge where any leaks are vented safely over the side. The lower helm is to starboard of the galley and has good all around visibility thanks to a plethora of windows. Aft of the helm and galley is the main seating area with settees to port and starboard and a sole mounted drop leaf table for dining. Talking of the sole this is one of the first things that you notice on coming through the aft door from the cockpit. Burmese teak is used for the parquet flooring in the salon and forward Vee berth and oozes quality as does the joinery throughout the boat. Teak is everywhere and at times it is hard forget that this is a fiberglass boat, doors and drawers on Seaglass still close with a reassuring click just as they surely did 25 years ago when the boat was first constructed.
The sleeping cabin is forward down 3 steps from the salon and with an infill in place the bed is huge. The heads compartment is to starboard and includes an electric toilet vanity and with the use of a curtain a decent sized shower that drains through a teak grating into a sump.
Hinge up and lift out panels in the salon sole give good access to the main engine, batteries and other mechanical parts. Having a single engine on the center line makes for decent access for servicing and other routine work. A 12 gallon water heater is off to one side and holding tank on the other. Tucked under the side decks are the twin 125 gallon fuel tanks and aft on Seaglass at least is the 5KW Kohler generator and twin 8D batteries.
The fly bridge is accessed via a teak ladder on the port side of the cockpit which like the rest of the deck is overlaid with teak. There are a couple of back to back seats with room for 6. A mast set on a hinging bracket makes a good place to mount antennas and radar and the boom can be used to lift the dinghy into the water or to set a steadying sail to keep the boat head to wind in an anchorage.
Grand Banks practically defined the market and invented the word trawler for the recreational boater. With their distinctive clipped shear and handsome looks the Grand Banks 32 still looks as fresh today as it did 40 years ago.


Tesla Model S the luxuries powerful sedan!
This long-awaited modern luxury electric vehicle was produced to be the practical family car but with specs of a super car. With his length size of nearly 5 meters long or actually 4978 mm, wheelbase size of 2959 mm and width of 2189 mm makes this Tesla Model S one great family car.
This particular model of electric vehicle is very specific in his class, around the specs of comfort, drivetrain and the variety of technology built inside. The design of the Tesla Model S is to be the safest and best sedan/family vehicle on the road today with front and rear trunk.
The Tesla Model S is build in 2 versions, with only one electric motor on each front and back, and the other version the P100D comes with dual electrical motors on the back and one on the front, however the same model comes as standard with all wheel drive.
With its great aerodynamics and performance the Tesla Model S produce a total 568 kW or 762 hp, combines a front axle power of 259 horsepower or 193 kW and rear axle power of 503 horsepower or 375 kW to a total of 762, that means it can go from 0 to 100 km /h in just 2.8 seconds.
Safety was one of the first priority tasks for this model, it owed unique electric drivetrain that sits beneath the car's aluminum isolated cell in its own cover. This unique positioning lowers the car's center of the vehicle, which improves handling and minimizes rollover risk, and replaces the heavy engine block with impact.
In a present of accident, eight airbags protect front and rear position of the cabin, and the high voltage power source is automatically disconnected.
The interior for the Tesla Model S is very spacious for its size, with 5 seats with good amount of space for the legs and head room for the taller people, the interior is made from high-end materials such as high quality leather seats, Alcantara dashboard and headliner, beautiful futuristic design of the whole dashboard with 17 inch capacitive touchscreen. Inside of the cabin is also engineered to have uniquely quiet powertrain to obtain the sound dynamics of a recording studio, which isolate the sounds from the outside environment.
Like all modern electric vehicles today the Tesla Model S got a ton of features for making your driving experience much easier and more enjoyable for all kind of situations, in the heavy traffic today and in the pleasant drive on the highway. Thanks to its great ion battery pack it can go up to 300 miles of drive range or 483 kilometers.
The Tesla Model S comes as standard with full self-driving hardware with sensors and cameras from all around the vehicle that allows maximum protection of unpleasant situations, build in enchanted autopilot that will control the vehicle speed limit, auto steering function even in the heavy everyday traffic, maneuvering around objects and auto parking, all you need to do is to "say" a voice command and it will provide you the safest, fastest and even the most economical road trip from the starting point to your desirable destination.

The TRS-80 Multi-Pen Plotter
The TRS-80 Multi-Pen Plotter (catalog number 26-1191) was similar to the earlier TRS-80 Plotter/Printer (catalog number 26-1190), but offered one important new feature: the ability to print in color. Described as an "intelligent plotter," the Multi-Pen Plotter used replaceable colored pens to print on paper or transparencies. Even at a price of $1995.00, the Multi-Pen Plotter was cheaper than many other color output alternatives available at the time. In fact, the catalog description states that the Plotter "brings an affordable price to color graphics!"
Introduced in November 1981, the Multi-Pen Plotter measured 6" by 13.5" by 10.5" and weighed 20 pounds. It connected to a TRS-80 computer through the RS-232 interface and could be programmed using simple commands that were described in the manual. The Multi-Pen Plotter also came with "exclusive software" for the Model II and III to create line charts, pie charts, and graphs.
TRS-80 Multi-Pen Plotter from a 1983 Radio Shack catalog
The Multi-Pen Plotter used six colored pens (black, red, blue, green, violet, and orange) to print at 2.8 inches per second on a full 8.5" by 11" page. In addition to lines and curves, it could also print 93 different characters of upper- and lowercase text. The plotter could also be operated manually using "touch sensitive membrane controls."
Radio Shack sold replacement hard-nib pens for $3.95 each in seven colors:
red (catalog number 26-1460)
blue (catalog number 26-1461)
green (catalog number 26-1462)
violet (catalog number 26-1463)
brown (catalog number 26-1464)
orange (catalog number 26-1465)
black (catalog number 26-1466)
Radio Shack also sold felt-tip pens for transparencies for $3.95 each, also in seven colors:
The Multi-Pen Plotter remained in the Radio Shack catalog until 1984, when it was replaced by the $995.00 FP-215 color plotter (catalog number 26-1193).

What Is Golden Root (Rhodiola Rosea)?
The herb Rhodiola Rosea is known by many names – Golden Root, Pink Root, Twig of Aaron and so on. The reason for this is that it grows in high mountain areas on four different continents.
The plant is a dicot, in the Crassulaceae family. It grows at altitudes of up to 2,300 meters.
The usual height of its blades ranges from 5 to 35 centimeters, has an intense yellow color and a strong leafy stem.
What Do We Call Rhodiola Rosea Extract and What Is Essential Oil?
As one of the names of the plant gives away, the roots are the part from which the extracts are derived from, although there are also flower extracts.
The beneficial ingredients can be derived into alcohol or dry extracts, as well as into essential oils (only the flowers).
The essential oils are mainly used dermatologically in cosmetics, and the alcohol and dry extracts – orally, being available on the market of dietary supplements.
The essential oil of the flowers of the Rhodiola contains 86 ingredients, the most abundant being: monoterpene hydrocarbons, monoterpene alcohols, straight chain aliphatic alcohols.
One of the key aromatic molecules is that of the geraniol. Other aromatic substances are geranyl formate, geranyl acetate, basil alcohol and phenylethyl alcohol.
Numerous different substances have been found in the (hydroalcoholic) extract – more than 50.
The most important amongst them are: monoterpene alcohols and their glycosides, cyanogenic glycosides, phenylethanoids, phenylpropanoids, flavones, aryl glycosides, proanthocyanidins, derivatives of gibberellic acid and of course, rosiridol.
The Golden Root herb contains numerous substances unique for it, as some identified in other places too, which inherit its precious effects.
It is believed, as of now, that the active class of substance, unique for the Rhodiola Rosea, is that of the "rosavins". Here the polyphenols are dominant.
The rosavins include: rosavin, rosarin, rosin, salidroside, p-tyrosol, rodionisid, rodiolin, rosiridin.
A mutually-reinforcing effect is being observed in the case when their whole class of rosavins is being used together.
What Do You Need to Know About the Usage of the Golden Root Herb?
Nowadays the Golden Root is being used worldwide as an herbal tonic and adaptogen, coupled with other herbs and mushrooms with similar properties: Ginseng, Eleutherococcus, Poppy, Muir Puama and Reishi.
The adaptogens are a group of herbs and mushrooms, for which naturopaths, practicing holistic natural medicine claim that they can chase fatigue, by improving the condition of the body's homeostasis.
Conventional medicine and pharmacy are unable to give a precise definition of what an "adaptogen" actually is and what kind of properties does a given plant need to have to be classified as one.
This misunderstanding between conventional and holistic medicines has yet to be resolved with the assistance of studies.
What Is the Rhodiola Rosea Extract Being Used for and What Are Rhodiola Health Benefits?
The Golden Root is being used traditionally in herbal treatment in Northern Europe – Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Russia and other European countries, as a way of "toning up", which prevents the appearance of fatigue, for prevention and relief of general illnesses (cold/flu), protection from infections and as a sexual stimulant.
Russian scientists from the former Soviet Union were the first to classify the Rhodiola as an "adaptogen", with the explanation that the plant extract aids the body in adapting to changes in the environment – coldness, hotness, infections, physical stress and high altitudes.
The Golden Root has been used in the Chinese folk medicine and is still being used, as an alternative to the ginseng. This drives many producers and traders of herb supplements to market it as the "new ginseng" in the USA, EU and Asia.
But not everything from the list above is confirmed with studies.
How Does the Rhodiola Rosea Extract Work?
In the world of marketing, everything is in white and pink. In the world of skeptics – gray and black.
In this article, I am avoiding those standard colors so we can explore the scientific data.
Improves sport and physical performance – minor double blind experiment in Belgium confirm the effect in exercises with aerobic nature.
There are no known side effects.
None has been reported in experiments with people.
However, the use of Rhodiola is not recommended for pregnant, nursing women and young children, due to the lack of research that ensure the herb's safety.
Who and In Combination with What Shouldn't Take the Rhodiola Rosea Extract?
There are no known interferences with other substances.
No negative effects of such nature.
What Are the Recommended Doses and How Should You Consume It?
The Rhodiola Rosea extract is standardized based on the content of the active substance rhodioloside (also known as salidroside).
The average dose of 170 to 185 mg of extract daily delivers 4.5 mg salidroside, usually in one to three doses. The dose can be two to three times higher in single doses.
There are probable differences in the method of extraction and storage of the salidroside/ tyrosol, therefor you should either compare the quantities of the active substance in the extract or follow the dose on the label.
In Which Sport and Health Supplements Can We Find It?
Besides on its own, the Golden Root is also contained in combined products: adaptogens, herbal tonics, antioxidants, formulas for sports performance improvement, including fat burners.

Qazaishvili, Earthquakes pull away for win over Galaxy
CARSON (AP) — Valeri Qazaishvili scored his second goal in three games and third in his MLS career and the San Jose Earthquakes beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-0 on Sunday to snap a three-game winless streak.
Los Angeles (6-14-10) is winless in its last 10 matches and has lost four in a row.
Qazaishvili gave San Jose (10-11-6) a 1-0 lead in the third minute of first-half stoppage time. Shea Salinas' corner kick slipped untouched to the far side of the area, where Qazaishvili first-timed a shot that deflected slightly off defender Dave Romney and into the net.
Marco Urena tapped it past a charging Jon Kempin in the 80th minute, and Chris Wondolowski added a goal, his 11th of the season, in stoppage time.
Andrew Tarbell had three saves for his first MLS shutout. The 23-year-old had allowed nine goals in the previous three games, the first three starts of his career.

Bill O'Reilly invited me on his Fox News show last Wednesday night to criticize me for characterizing The O'Reilly Factor as "right-wing buffoonery," in a blog post I wrote (about Stephen Colbert and Pete Seeger) for the Huffington Post the previous day.
In my five-minute interview with O'Reilly, he asked, "Can I have an example of 'right wing buffoonery' so I don't do it again?"
I didn't want to take his bait, because I did not want to waste my few minutes with O'Reilly talking about him. I wanted to talk about Pete Seeger and the other people in my new book, The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame.
I relented once. I told O'Reilly that he had unfairly criticized Social Security. O'Reilly said, "When you said I criticized Social Security, I never have." He was lying. On his September 13, 2011, show, O'Reilly said that Social Security, "is not exactly a Ponzi scheme, but it's close."
O'Reilly insisted, "You can't give me an example of right-wing buffoonery on this program." He said, "You can't back it up and that makes look intellectually deficient." He accused me of "perpetuating propaganda."
Although I didn't want to spend my few minutes on The O'Reilly Factor reminding him of the many examples of his "right-wing buffoonery," I don't want his accusations that I "can't back it up" to go unanswered. So, in the spirit of being "fair and balanced," and with thanks to Media Matters for America, which regularly monitors The O'Reilly Factor, here are examples of O'Reilly's lies, distortions and right-wing buffoonery over the past eight years.
Peter Dreier is professor of politics and chair of the Urban & Environmental Policy Department at Occidental College. His new book, The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame, was recently published by Nation Books.


Daniel Pinkston, an international relations expert who lectures at a TROY site in South Korea, isn't sold on North Korea's desire for peace.
Recent news out of the Korean peninsula has given many hope that peace between North and South Korea is closer than ever, but Troy University professor Dr. Daniel A. Pinkston remains skeptical.
Retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden addresses members of the Alabama World Affairs Council at TROY's Montgomery Campus on April 11.
While there may be global issues with "shorter fuses," the only person to serve as both head of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency believes the most pressing question of the 21st century surrounds the relationship between the United States and China.
As North Korea continues to test nuclear weapons, its relationship with its southern neighbor is becoming even more concerning to South Koreans.
Dr. Daniel A. Pinkston, a Lecturer at a Troy University teaching site in South Korea, previously served as Northeast Asia Deputy Project Director for the International Crisis Group in Seoul.


Talented, unorthodox, volatile, and photo-friendly Graham Geraghty proved a larger than life gift to the emerging tabloid culture of the 1990s and noughties. From controversial and outrageously gifted footballer to social worker helping young people to repair their fractured lives - Graham's journey has been a roller coaster ride of incident and anecdote.
All Star camogie player, All Ireland winning captain and one of only four Irish Red Bull sponsored athletes - model, mental health advocate and darling of the media - but there was a time when Ashling's future looked so bleak she wasn't even sure she had one. This episode traces Ashling's heroic struggle to the apex of Camogie - overcoming career threatening injury and her crippling slump into darkness and depression.
Henry Shefflin's slow but painstaking apprenticeship in the sorcery of the sliotar finally saw him emerge as perhaps the greatest hurler of all time - with a matchless record of 10 All Ireland medals, and a galaxy of All Star awards. But Henry was more than the king of hurling and this episode reveals an intensely human side to this superman of the hurling field.
Executive Producer and Nemeton TV CEO, Irial Mac Murchú added: "We are very proud of the achievements of the Laochra Gael production team that has created a stunning 156 episodes in this epic series. This season, we delve deeper into the characters and the personalities behind the heroic highlights of their playing careers"
The new Laochra Gael season will air on TG4 at 9:30pm on Wednesday evenings beginning on February 28th .
