Fireworks Wednesday
Yes, the Midland police needs to protect and serve, but they sure took away a lot of fun when the city's "bomb squad recently lit the fuse to 20,000 pounds of seized fireworks near Big Spring," writes the Reporter-Telegram. On the plus side, they did record it for posterity:
Post by Midland Police Department.
Texas By The Numbers
Sticker Shock – Number of drivers affected by the Department of Motor Vehicles printing error of renewal forms for their revised registration/inspection stickers: 320,000. As a percentage of all Texas drivers: 16 percent. What the renewal fee should have cost: $14.25. What drivers were led to believe the fee cost, thanks to the error: $0.00.
Perry Price Tag – Amount, per year, taxpayers paid to have Rick Perry travel around the world, as currently tallied: $1 million. Cost of food: $600,000. Cost of Italy trip: $69,620.98. Israel: $13,582.09. Switzerland: $39,038.56.
Rough Road – TxDOT can't seem to catch a break. In addition to its epic printing error of registration/inspection renewal forms, the agency "will be giving back about $1.7 million to tollway users who have been over-billed," reports the Texas Tribune. "Last month, TxDOT officials told a state Senate committee that it had found approximately 30,000 Texas drivers with valid TxTag accounts that erroneously received bills in the mail for using the state's toll roads, which are charged at a higher rate." In addition, the agency is "continuing to find TxTag accounts that were improperly billed following refunds to 31,000 accounts earlier this year." As the piece notes, those are only the most recent problems. Things got messy when Xerox took over tolling operations, after which, "Texas drivers have encountered trouble accessing accounts online and long wait times on customer service calls."

Dishonorable Charge – The state's stubborn refusal to acknowledge the basic rights of gay people has resulted in another embarrassing situation, this one involving the brave men and woman who fight for our freedoms. "Three same-sex military couples were told last week that their ID cards could not be processed at the Texas National Guard's headquarters in Austin because their marriages were not recognized in the Lone Star State," reports the San Antonio Express-News. The ID cards are used to get, among other things, military benefits. To its credit, the National Guard is calling the incident a "mistake" saying "the clerk was an inexperienced employee not acting under guard policy." The Texas National Guard would have you believe that the incident had nothing to do with a culture of discrimination of course, but rather is a mistake due to "budget cuts that have decimated the ID office's staff and left it with a single worker." On the bright side, "One couple turned away last week was scheduled to return Tuesday to Camp Mabry, where [a spokeswoman] said officials would 'hand-walk them through.'"
True Longview Detective – There's something of a murder mystery in Longview. "In the first two months of 2015, the city of 81,000 has had six homicides — more than it had all of last year," according to the Dallas Morning News. "The recent spasm of violence has startled residents of the small oil-and-gas town and focused more attention on a police department already under scrutiny for the death of a 17-year-old with a history of mental illness.… Most of the killings have occurred in a low-income area south of downtown, and all but one of the victims was a minority." As the local News -Journal noted, the city only had five total homicides in 2014, but has now "already exceeded the national yearly average of 5.3 homicides per 100,000 people." One church has organized a community call to action and police announced a "multi-layered" effort to end the violence, including "boosting patrols in the area." Officers are also being "charged with getting out of their patrol cars and shaking the hands of residents not used to seeing officers as allies."
Back In Your Seats – Fans with special seating at Texas football stadiums have not had the greatest luck recently. First there was the Cowboys stadium ruling that found the organization blameless in the 2011 Super Bowl seating mix up. Now a judge has approved the rennovations at Kyle Field, denying a request by fans to block the $485 million project. Alumni and wealthy endowment donors were concerned that they would lose their primo seats and parking thanks to the renovations. "The plaintiffs wanted the judge to issue a temporary restraining order to 'maintain the status quo' and prevent the foundation from redistributing their seats during the reseating program that runs through May," writes the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The 12th Man Foundation didn't pull punches when it came to their rich benefactors. Attorneys "said in court documents … that the plaintiffs have known about — and participated in — the reseating process for nearly two years but waited until three days before the reassignment was to begin to ask the court to stop it. 'In essence, three disgruntled donors are trying to hold all the donors hostage while they complain about their seats.'" It's a rather awkward situation since donors are paying for half the renovations through their seating contracts.

Bristol Palin's New Company: BSMP LLC, Public Relations Firm (VIDEO)
On Rachel Maddow's show Tuesday night, Maddow dug into some curious paperwork filed in Alaska last September by the 19-year-old Bristol Palin, daughter of Sarah, mother of Tripp. The paperwork established Bristol Palin as the organizer of a new company called BSMP LLC. (BSMP is Palin's initials: Bristol Sharon Marie Palin).
According to the paperwork, the company "intends to provide lobbying, public relations, and political consulting services."
From Maddow's report:
[Palin's Lawyer] finally got back to us late this evening. He told us in an E-mail, quote, "The code for BSMP, LLC pertains to several areas but includes public relations. Bristol Palin provides public relations services and is currently an ambassador for the Candie`s Foundation.
The Candie`s Foundation is a pro-abstinence organization. Bristol Palin has essentially set herself up to be paid as an incorporated entity as opposed to being paid as an individual and that`s sort of a common choice people make when they have money coming in from various sources like this.
So BSMP, LLC, may just be a pretty smart financial decision by a very astute 19-year-old, or Bristol Palin is about to launch a lobbying and consultancy firm to run her mom`s 2012 presidential campaign. Theoretically possible, but probably not.
Close-ups on the paperwork, and more details here.

Kabul is a city clogged with an estimated 4 to 5 million people and traffic to match that human crush. Traffic in Afghanistan's capital city is notoriously awful. CNN's Michael Holmes gives a first-person account (as a passenger, of course) of a commute to work through the Kabul streets.

U.S. military officers among dead in Kabul attacks
KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S. Defense Department officials have identified five U.S. soldiers, including a colonel and two lieutenant colonels, killed by a suicide bomb in Afghanistan's capital this week.
The Tuesday blast killed at least a dozen civilians, five U.S. troops and a Canadian service member, officials said. It occurred on a busy road near a NATO-led military convoy and a registration center for the Afghan Army.
The five U.S. soldiers are Col. John M. McHugh, 46, of New Jersey; Lt. Col. Paul R. Bartz, 43, of Wisconsin; Lt. Col. Thomas P. Belkofer, 44, of Ohio; Staff Sgt. Richard J. Tieman, 28, of Pennsylvania; and Spc. Joshua A. Tomlinson, 24, of Louisiana. FULL POST

A dangerous job in Kandahar
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — It takes guts to be a policeman in Kandahar. You're a prime target for the Taliban, the local population has little trust in you and until recently you were ill-trained and ill-equipped.
All of the above may have changed only slightly but police commanders say things are at least moving in the right direction.
Mohammad Shafiq Afzali is police commissioner in charge of six provinces. Little surprise, he rarely finds time to leave Kandahar. He acknowledges the support of the locals is lacking but insists it's changing as the image of the police is improving.
"Before police were getting $40 to $50 a month, now they're getting around $250. When anyone's financial problems are solved they no longer want to do dishonest things," he says. FULL POST

This Copper Candy Chevy II Nova is an outstanding restomod ready to be driven hard. It features a stout GM ZZ430 small block crate motor installed recently with a custom exhaust and shorty headers to compliment it. The Holley 4-barrel carburetor is tuned and ready to perform on the street or strip. This ride has comfort as well as handling and performance. Smoked windows with a new Vintage Air system make this a great summer time cruiser. It has custom beige leather seats that are very comfortable to sit in while you drive this car through Rocky Mountain National park or anywhere else for that matter! The suspension has been updated to tubular controls arms in the front, a 4 link in the rear and rack and pinion steering to keep everything riding very smooth.

Q: Saga / Processmanager? I'm thinking about this scenario:
I can receive customer inquiries by Email.
Those inquiries can be sent from existing customers or unknown "customers" - I'll call  latter "Leads".
When receiving an inquiry by Email from a Lead, a Sales Representative will need to register a new Lead in the Customer Relations Bounded Context (CRM BC) record the inquiry in the Sales Bounded Context (S BC).
I want to create a single task based UI so the Sales Representative doesn't have to use two UIs/Forms to accomplish the task.
I don't want the UI to issue two commands, so I came up with the consideration to have a RecordLeadFromInquiryByEmailCommand which then should cause the CRM BC to persist the Lead information. After this has finished, the Inquiry information should be persisted using a RecordLeadInquiryFromEmailCommand triggered by the LeadFromInquiryByEmailCommandRecordedEvent event from the CRM BC.
What's unclear for me right now:

*

*The inquiry data like "title" or "description" for the Inquiry needs to be passed with the RecordLeadFromInquiryByEmailCommand and the LeadFromInquiryByEmailCommandRecordedEvent event to be available for the RecordLeadInquiryFromEmailCommand. I'm wondering if the Claim Check Pattern would be right here or if this is too much overhead.

*Is this more of a saga or a process manager (I want to roll back if either command fails)?

*Does this even make sense?

Il lago Bonney è un lago glaciale ipersalino situato nella parte occidentale della valle di Taylor, una delle tre valli principali dell'Area Antartica Specialmente Gestita delle valli secche McMurdo, un'area di circa  situata nella regione centro occidentale della Dipendenza di Ross, nell'Antartide orientale.

Caratteristiche
Il lago Bonney ha una forma allungata e si estende in direzione sud-ovest/nord est per 7 km, raggiungendo una larghezza massima di 900 metri. Esso può anche essere visto come un lago formato in realtà da due laghi uniti da uno stretto canale, largo solo 50 metri, aventi una superficie di , quello a est, e  quello a ovest. Il lago, situato a circa , ha una profondità massima di 40 m e la sua superficie è perennemente occupata da uno strato di ghiaccio spesso dai 3,7 ai 4,6 metri.

Gli immissari del lago sono flussi di acqua che si generano in estate dal parziale scioglimento di diversi ghiacciai posti sulle vette delle due catene montuose tra cui si trova il lago, ossia la dorsale Asgard, a nord, e i colli Kukri, a sud, tra i quali si possono citare il ghiacciaio Sollas e il ghiacciaio Matterhorn.

All'estremità occidentale del lago si trova il termine del ghiacciaio Taylor. Saltuariamente, durante la stagione estiva, un getto di salamoia sgorga da fessure presenti all'estremità del Taylor, generando un fenomeno chiamato Cascate di sangue: nella salamoia, proveniente da un lago subglaciale sito a circa 400 m sotto i ghiacci del Taylor e a diversi chilometri di distanza, sono infatti presenti ossidi ferrici che, quando vengono a contatto con l'ossigeno, si ossidano, generando ossidi ferrosi di color cremisi. Le cascate si riversano quindi sul lago Bonney e, quando asciugano, lasciano sulla sue superficie degli strati colorati in cui, oltre agli ossi di ferro, sono stati trovati anche batteri estremofili provenienti dal sopraccitato lago subglaciale.

Storia

Il lago fu scoperto durante la spedizione Discovery, svolta dal 1901 al 1904 e comandata da Robert Falcon Scott, ma fu così battezzato solo durante la spedizione Terra Nova, condotta dal 1910 al 1913 sempre al comando di Scott, in onore di Thomas George Bonney, che fu professore di geologia allo University College di Londra dal 1877 al 1901.

Data l'unicità del sopraccitato fenomeno delle Cascate di sangue, il lago Bonney è diventato meta di diverse spedizioni di ricerca che proprio sulla superficie del lago hanno installato i loro campi base da cui poi effettuare ricerche anche sul ghiacciaio Taylor. Diversi studi hanno riguardato comunque anche il lago stesso, infatti, a partire dal 2007 la NASA ha iniziato a finanziare un progetto volto alla realizzazione di un robot sommergibile autonomo chiamato ENDURANCE che sia in grado di esplorare la forma e la profondità del lago sotto la superficie ghiacciata. Tali esperimenti sono un primo passo nella realizzazione di robot sottomarini autonomi pensati per esplorare i laghi subglaciali che si ritiene siano presenti su Europa, uno dei satelliti di Giove, e su Encelado, uno dei satelliti di Saturno.

Words are quite peculiar things, aren't they? They form a sentence, they form a passage, they become an article or an essay, they become a book, they become a story. They record history, they document our way of life and they also entertain by forms of fictions and tales. They evoke feelings, they evoke emotions, happy and sad. They are quite the wicked things.
I always ponder the power of words. Especially after reading a book that makes me feel so many emotions. I wonder what I would be like if I hadn't read this book, would I be having a moment like this to appreciate "words"? To appreciate the authors who have just taken me on an unforgettable journey?
"Last Christmas in Paris" is set during the WWI era in Europe. It mainly focused on Thomas, a lieutenant in the British army sent to the front in France, and Evie, a well-bred, refined and a sophisticated upper class young lady from London. 90% of the book consists of letters back and forth during 1914-1918 between Thomas and Evie and their friends and families. Again, the power of words which form a letter. In these letters, we get to learn their characters, their hopes and dreams, their despair and longing for the normality once again without this "war to end all wars". Through these letters, we get to know Thomas, who is "charming without knowing it, intelligent without being boastful, and kind without expectation"; we get to know Evie, who is charming, refined but also full of adventurous spirit, who is so strong that she has stretched her wings from the comfort of home in London to the horrific frontline in France. These letters are full of humour, love, hope and yet, in times sadness, longing and devastation. Through these years of letters, they find love, they find each other. We get on this journey with them together and grow to care and love them.
I have truly enjoyed this story and book which make it one of my top reads in 2017. It is sad at times but it is full of hope and it is uplifting. I love the old style of language like "darling" and "my love", these endearments are so heart-warming. I miss the letter writing. When was the last time we sent a hand-written letter to our loved ones? The loop, the flowing curve and flourish, I have missed seeing them, touching them.
I can't stop thinking about Thomas and Evie, they are "but birds in flight, you and me. Let us catch the thermals together now, and soar." Love them and love this book very very much. I have been thinking about Paris a lot lately because of this book, and you know what? I have just booked my ticket to spend Christmas there again this year. Joyeux Noël à Paris!
Wonderful review, I just started to read this book this morning on my way to work. I can't wait to get back to it.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I love this book and it is just so heart warming. I love how these letters make me feel. Hope you are able to read more!
Oh, I will! I am afraid I might finish this book tonight. And I agree with you, the letters are so uplifting, I read about 6 of those and I can't get enough.

Q: WPF - DataContext of Frame does not fall down to its content I currently have a view that looks like the following:
    <Window>
        <DockPanel>
            <Menu>
                ...
            </Menu>
            <StackPanel>
                <Grid>
                    ...
                </Grid>
                <Separator>
                <Grid>
                    <Frame Source="ADifferentView.xaml" DataContext="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}">
                    <Frame...>
                    <Frame...>
                </Grid>
            </StackPanel>
        </DockPanel>
    </Window>

The ViewModel is declared as:
public ResultsViewModel ADifferentViewModel{ get; set; }

and initialised in the Constructor.
The ADifferentViewModel is a variable in the Window's ViewModel (which is correctly linked and working). However, the binding for the frame to that variable doesn't seem to be linking.
My instinct suggests it's due to needing to get the Window's context. I tried:
DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}, Path=ADifferentViewModel}"

DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}, Path=ADifferentViewModel}"

However neither of these worked. I also tried changing Window to DockPanel, StackPanel, and Grid for each to no avail.
Any advice would be appreciated, and hopefully this is clear enough. Please ask if you need any details

A: It seems like the Frame's DataContext does not fall down into its content for some reason.. However, You can take benefit from the Frame's LoadCompleted event to assign the DataContext manually like this:

*

*In .xaml
<Frame
   x:Name="MyFrame"
   LoadCompleted="MyFrame_OnLoadCompleted"
   Source="ADifferentView.xaml" DataContext="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}"/>

*In .xaml.cs
private void MyFrame_OnLoadCompleted(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
{
  if (MyFrame.Content is FrameworkElement content)
        content.DataContext = MyFrame.DataContext;
}

A: Your explanations and demonstrated code are not enough to answer your question.
I'll show you some binding examples.
I hope this will be enough for you to understand the cause of your problem.
Example one.
Setting the DataContext and using the TextBox to check its value.
using System.Windows;

namespace Core2022.SO.HarryAdams
{
    public partial class DataContextBindingWindow : Window
    {
        private readonly MainViewModel viewModel;
        public DataContextBindingWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            viewModel = new MainViewModel();
            viewModel.ADifferentViewModel = new ResultsViewModel();
            viewModel.ADifferentViewModel.Number = 12345678;
            DataContext = viewModel;
        }
    }

    public class ResultsViewModel
    {
        public int Number { get; set; }
    }

    public class MainViewModel
    {
        public ResultsViewModel? ADifferentViewModel { get; set; }
    }
}

<Window x:Class="Core2022.SO.HarryAdams.DataContextBindingWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Core2022.SO.HarryAdams"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="DataContextBindingWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
    <StackPanel>
        <Frame x:Name="frame" Height="100" DataContext="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}"/>
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding DataContext.Number, ElementName=frame}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

In this example, you can see that the DataContext binds correctly and displays the correct value.
Second example.
Since the DataContext binding works correctly, I'm assuming that you meant DataContext not Frame, but Page «ADifferentView».
<Page x:Class="Core2022.SO.HarryAdams.ADifferentView"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
      xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Core2022.SO.HarryAdams"
      mc:Ignorable="d"
      d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800"
      Title="ADifferentView">

    <Grid Background="LightSkyBlue">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"/>
    </Grid>
</Page>

        <Frame x:Name="frame" Height="100" DataContext="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}"
               Source="/SO/HarryAdams/ADifferentView.xaml"/>

In this example, the Page TextBox receives an anchoring error.
The reason for this is that Page is used to represent the Frame.Content property. And since nothing is set in this property, there is no binding object for the Page DataContext.
At the same time, even an explicit binding of the FindAncestor type to a Frame or Window does not solve the problem:
<Page x:Class="Core2022.SO.HarryAdams.ADifferentView"
      DataContext="{Binding DataContext,
                            RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Frame}}}"

Third example.
Binding Page DataContext to object in the navigation event.
    <StackPanel>
        <Frame x:Name="frame" Height="100" DataContext="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}"
               Source="/SO/HarryAdams/ADifferentView.xaml"
               Navigated="OnNavigated"/>
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding DataContext.Number, ElementName=frame}"/>
    </StackPanel>
    <x:Code>
        <![CDATA[
        private void OnNavigated(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            FrameworkElement element = (FrameworkElement)sender;
            FrameworkElement child = (FrameworkElement)e.Content;

            child.SetBinding(DataContextProperty, new Binding("DataContext") { Source = element});
        }
        ]]>
    </x:Code>
</Window>

Fourth example.
This example is more typical for WPF pages.
They either create their own DataContext or get it from App.
    <Application.Resources>
        <harryadams:MainViewModel x:Key="mainVM">
            <harryadams:MainViewModel.ADifferentViewModel>
                <harryadams:ResultsViewModel Number="1234567"/>
            </harryadams:MainViewModel.ADifferentViewModel>
        </harryadams:MainViewModel>
    </Application.Resources>

<Page x:Class="Core2022.SO.HarryAdams.ADifferentView"
      DataContext="{Binding ADifferentViewModel, Source={StaticResource mainVM}}"

Fifth example.
This example is more typical of WPF+MVVM pages.
In this case, the anchor object is passed in Frame Content, and the page type is specified in the DataTemplate:
    <StackPanel>
        <Frame x:Name="frame" Height="100" Content="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}">
            <Frame.ContentTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <local:ADifferentView/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </Frame.ContentTemplate>
        </Frame>
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Content.Number, ElementName=frame}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

You can also use the default data templates:
    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:ResultsViewModel}">
            <local:ADifferentView/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>
    <StackPanel>
        <Frame x:Name="frame" Height="100" Content="{Binding ADifferentViewModel}"/>
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Content.Number, ElementName=frame}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

Sixth example.
Very often Frame+Page is used in the wrong place.
In the vast majority of cases, UserControl should be used instead. In this case, all bindings and passing DataContext start to work in a typical way for most elements.
<UserControl x:Class="Core2022.SO.HarryAdams.ADifferentView"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

Not for the simple version that uses the TDP, we cannot distinguish the operation type. However, we already propose several alternatives but they require to have a power meter to learn a power model.
Hi, I tried to use Power API to measure the power consumption of an intel i3 processor (default setting is : 2 physical cores for 4 logical cores) in case of differents core settings. I would like to know if power API is still able to measure correctly the power consumption of a given multi-core processor if some of these cores are disabled ( from the BIOS settings( physical cores) and from the OS (logical cores)). because I tried to do so and the obtained measurement do not seem to be correct. is there a way to make these kind of measurements correctly with Power API? how can I know that the measurement are correct ? I also would like to know which kind of power does provide Power API, is it active power, MAX power or RMS power ...? thank you very much for all your answers.

Faith cannot be fueled by emotions. Just like a marriage has ups & downs, our spiritual journey is not all mountaintops. Trust God anyway.

Q: z-index layering in IE9, with example, stacking contexts checked (I think) I am working on a portfolio project. I have a relatively positioned image in a relatively positioned div. Using z-index I have a fixed position div on top of this, inside of which there are three floated divs, each of which has a cursor url specified in css. All of this is in another div. The aim is to have a previous, play and next cursor displayed on top of an image to control the display of images.
It works well in Safari, Firefox, Chrome. It does not work in IE (9,8 or 7). The cursor does not show when over the image. Somehow, the fixed position div is dropping behind the image, even though it's z-index says it should be above.
I have read a lot on this. I have considered the stacking contexts, and I believe they are OK in my code. I have investigated making all the objects have relative positioning in case fixed and relative positioning is creating different stacking contexts. This did not solve it. I have investigated quirks and standard mode. Nothing seems to work.
I have uploaded stripped back example pages of my problem here:
http://bigflannel.com/portfolio/ie-test
Any help very very gratefully appreciated. I'm 8 hours into debugging and stuck.

}

A: Unfortunately IE is very buggy when it comes to cursors.  This is actually not a z-index issue.  The layering is working as expected.  You can test this by putting a background color on the #navigation-panel as it goes over the image.  It has to do with IE and the behaviour of cursor.
Solution: (for IE9)
/* Background with no opacity */
#navigation-panel {
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

You can probably fix with earlier versions of IE by using the filter.

Blintz (Mehrzahl: Blintze oder Blinchiki) ist ein kleiner, dünner Pfannkuchen der jüdischen Küche, russisch-polnischen Ursprungs. Blintze werden aus einem ähnlichen Teig wie Blini gebacken, aber mit zusätzlichem Ei, und um eine herzhafte oder süße Füllung gewickelt. Eine der beliebtesten Füllungen besteht aus Hüttenkäse mit Zimt und Zucker, normalerweise mit Obstkompott garniert. Blintze mit Käsefüllung werden traditionell während der Frühlingsfeiertage Schawuot gegessen. Für russische Juden ergeben mit zerkleinerten Rinderbratenresten gefüllte Blintze eine vollständige Mahlzeit oder sind Beilage zu Hühnersuppe.

Wie die Knishes stehen auch Blintze für Lebensmittel, die heute als typisch jüdisch gelten, und beispielhaft für die Veränderungen an Lebensmitteln sind, die Juden von ihren christlichen Nachbarn übernommen haben.

Dr. Mrs. Meera Velankar Cycling since Oct 2011.
Completed the grueling Tour of Nilgiris in 2011.
National Super Randonneur award 2013 and 2014 in cycling a series of brevets over 200km, 300km, 400km and 600km.
Gained the tag of Half IronMan in April 2015 when she completed the challenge – 1.9km swim, 90km biking and 21.1km running – at Putrajaya in Malaysia.
Endured the pain of a DNF on the Tandem Bicycle at the Thailand 300 BRM in Nakhon Pathom in 2016.
Aiming for more structured training and unique events across the globe.
Pedalmummy was the right enablement for KreedaGala's 'weekend catch-up' initiative. The objective of 'Weekend Catch-up' is to build a community of like-minded people and to encourage them to perceive a hobby. Meera with her experience and professionalism did help the purpose. Meera's detailing before the cycling event and her ability to manage and execute the event with the perfection helped us to maintain the effectiveness of the cycling event. The post event motivational speech made by Meera was very inspiring and life transforming. While KreedaGala derived a life learning experience from the event, Meera ensured the event had technical touch and flavour of professionalism.
Meera has been an accomplished cyclist, triathlete over the years. Having trained Meera for a number of years, I have first hand seen her dedication, commitment and ability to go after her goals with a single minded focus. She first approached me when she could hardly swim but was clear in her goals of completing IRONMAN 70.3. She worked hard and over a period In addition to IRONMAN 70.3, she has completed a number of cycling events across India and overseas with great success. She has set an example for people and displayed how you can balance your work, manage family and still pursue your passion and interest with her cycling and endurance events. She is now inspiring others in the community with her venture Pedal Mummy to support a number of women to pursue their interests. With her deep knowledge of cycling, related equipment, she has been instrumental in supporting a number of people take up the sport of cycling to get fitter and healthier.
Some incidents can change your perception and in the long run; your life too. It was one such incident when I met Dr. Meera during 180 Kilometer cycling event of Veloriad 2016.That day marks the beginning of a beautiful mentor-student relationship. Being an elite cyclist herself; she has coached and shaped me into a potential triathlete sportsperson. Distance is not a barrier for the canopy of her teachings. Don't be surprised if I tell you'll that we have met only once till date. Not everyone is lucky to get a mentor who can be effective with her teachings especially when the mentor and the student are separated by approximately 1000 Km.I wouldn't shy myself from concluding that Dr. Meera has been the same to me like Lord Krishna has been to Arjuna during the epic Mahabharata. With only 2 BRM, 2 cycling events and 3 different marathons in my basket; I am nothing more than a novice till date. However, her constant guidance and motivation has always kept me on my toes helping me accomplish each marathon step by step with improvements in the clock timings.In just one of our many discussions, we discussed about how she is planning to complete yet another marathon on her 42nd birthday and how I was planning to complete my 2nd BRM Mumbai-Nashik cycling event of 300 Km. With her expert tutoring advices, I successfully finished and dusted the BRN event. We all know that we can't clap with one hand; as a pillar of support she has been that mandatory second hand for me. Hence, I would like to offer this victory as a Gurudakshina to her. My next short term target is to participate in my first ever triathlon and with her constant support and my blood and sweat I am expecting positive outcomes from the event.With myriad of awards and expertise in this sport; she has also reached an epitome of multi-tasking where she has kept a good family-sport balance and groomed her daughters equally well. To conclude, I am lucky to have such a friend, mentor and counsellor in my life and hope our relation strengthens with time; like wine.
I met Meera during my Mumbai-Chikhli-Mumbai BRM 400 in August 2014 . She has been a friend, philosopher and guide for me since then. An ace multitasker with a rational mind, that is how she manages the many roles she handles beautifully in her life. A mother and a sportsperson with a vision is what I think she is. I will always remember her team building spirit which she displayed during our group race – Veloraid 2015. I had a major fall in that race but then she provided me with much needed psychological support and we were able to 'conquer' the race inspite of the many difficulties we faced. Our tandem bike ride in july 2016 at Surat was a ride started on a wrong foot. It was a 300 km BRM in adverse climatic conditions, heat humidity and rains etc. We had never rode tandem before and secondly the bike had many a niggling mechanical issues. It was the marvelous group of cyclists at Surat who pushed both of us to nail the ride confidently. Again the management skills of my partner Meera kept us motivated in high spirits. I wish her enough in life.
These rides implanted in me a love towards Cycling. Started off just for fun, but now its a part of my daily routine to maintain good health and well-being at 40.
Meera has immense knowledge about the technicalities of all types of bikes and has helped me select the ideal one basis my need and goal. She's easily approachable and has briefed me about her Malaysia Ironman 70.3 experience as well. Looking forward to more tips from you when I participate in Dubai 70.3 next year 😝 It's a pleasure to have a friend like you!
Meera organized a cycle tour – Tour de Teens – for teenagers in Kerala in May 2017. Our daughter Dia and her cousin were part of this trip. It was an amazing 4 day trip – Meera did an awesome job in planning and executing the trip. Children had the right mix of cycling and fun activities. The children cycled 20-30 kms per day on roads. In addition, they covered a number of areas like the Jew Town, Spice markets and colonial Kochi. They loved biking past long stretches of irrigation and cycled in hill ranges to reach Munnar canals. There was always a van with the kids providing fruits and refreshments and for children to take rest, if they required. The cycles were maintained really well and were expensive throughout the trip, Meera motivated and appreciated them for their energy and efforts, that the children took it as a fun activity and the 30 km ride per day didn't tire them from having more fun activities after the ride. On their last day they slept in tents and had bonfire which made them feel like they were camping in the forest. She is a great mentor and an inspiration for our daughter. Her energy levels are contagious. She makes the toughest tasks look simple, such clarity and confidence is what Meera carries with her. The children came back thrilled and having a fun filled holiday. They are looking forward to another one soon!


In this post you will find how to make stylish listing generated by the Apache server. This is not just another CSS solution. The trick is in configuring Apache to generate XML directory list and to use browser (IE, FF, Opera, Safari …) to transform XML to the HTML. You will have full freedom to modify and style auto generated directory listings.
Open httpd.conf file and edit IndexOptions and HeaderName directive.
If you want to have current directory displayed as a page title, please add +Includes to the Options directive – this will enable SSI, but Apache will not parse files until you define SSI files. SSI files can be marked by extension like shtml or by execute bit. In this example, I marked SSI files with execution bit. Don't forget to set execute permission to the SSI file or it will not be processed.
Check if directory listing is enabled by Indexes option in Options directive.
header.html contains beginning of the XML listing. The rest of XML will be generated by Apache. XML has defined stylesheet and defined nbsp entity because Apache writes nbsp in emtpy table cells. Last line is a SSI directive, and if you need any other server variable, just wrap it within XML tag.
For PHP header file, you don't need +Includes / XBitHack in httpd.conf because Apache has defined PHP interpreter to handle files with a php extension.
Here is a simple stylesheet.xsl to process dynamically generated XML. Please save stylesheet.xsl to the document root or change path in the header file. After directory request, Apache will respond with XML. Browser will start to process XML and make request for stylesheet.xsl file. With requested XML and stylesheet.xsl, browser will render HTML page. If you click on View page source, you will not see finished HTML, but XML generated by Apache.
Described procedure may seem complicated, but it all boils down to the two files and a couple of lines in the httpd.conf file. First file is header file – static HTML or HTML with SSI or PHP (depends what you need). And the second file is XSL. Place files inside document root and make absolute reference to them in HeaderName directive and in header file. After files are created and Apache is configured, you should have a styled directory listing page.
I hope you might find this post useful.
How do I get the "root-style" for directories within my root-files-directory, Did I miss something?
And is it possible to have icons for mime-types? Thy are linked in the sites source, but do not appear on the site itself.
Apart from that, very nice! And thanks in advance!
@dirch – You have to set Indexes in Options directive, otherwise Apache will return "HTTP 403 – Forbidden" instead of directory list. More about Options can be read on Options Directive. Mime-type icons should be displayed by default after enabling directory listing. In Fedora distribution, icons are located in /var/www/icons and the icon mapping is defined in httpd.conf by AddIcon* directives.
To be more precise, and maybe you find my mistake, here is the link to my files directory http://mjhp.net/files/ . As you can see there are no icons. In the source i saw that they are expected to be in /icons, so i've created that one and copied a set of icons there (of course they are readable by everyone).
The other files (stylesheet an HEADER.html are copied from your site.
@dirch – Error was in stylesheet.xsl in "tr" template. Please look at the first xsl:copy-of line (responsible for the column with icons).
Or if you need only icon, then you can write "a/img".
Thank you for pointing to the icon problem.
It's me who has to thank you!
My other "problem" looks like that http://mjhp.net/files/nostyle/. As you can see there is no style at all. Of course i could put my header and all that into every directory i create, but maybe there is another option to have the same style in the root directory and all subdirectories.
Hope this will solve problem and all subdirectories will be styled as root dir.
Thats it. Sometimes i wonder how dumb me can be… Thanks a lot!
btw: really nice site, keep up the good work!
Thanks for this, it is very helpful. Can I ask if it is possible to use PHP in stylesheet.xsl?
@Michael – PHP is server side technology and it can not be used in stylesheet.xsl. On the other hand, If you mean to dynamically create stylesheet.xsl with PHP (and force content-type to application/xml) – yes it could be possible. Few years ago I generated CSS file with PHP on the same way so it should be possible with XSL as well.
Following your instructions, it worked in past days. I got error says "Error loading stylesheet: An unknown error has occurred (804b000e)". There is no information about thin in /var/log/httpd/error_log. I googled this, someone said it might be caused by server performance. Can you please help?
I cut-n-pasted everthing into files and it works for the most part. However, request_uri is empty. That is, no directory name is displayed. Did I miss something?
If your HTML/XML is in different format, then you should modify stylesheet.xsl – but that should not be the case.
Thanks for the reply. I verfied that things were being presented as you described. However, no directory name at the top of the page. That is, request_uri was empty. I am embarrassed to say it was pretty much a newbie mistaked. The !–#echo construct requires that the Includes option is present. Without it, !–#echo doesn't work so request_uri is empty!
@jimmo – I'm glad you solved the problem and thank you for feedback – it will be useful for others.
… and how would you go about adding in column sorting functionality?
Here is code that I'm using. It contains sort columns in the first row. Cheers!
Amazing tutorial. I only have 2 problems. The UTF-8 encouding doesn't allow the displaying of characters õüäö, but it should.
And I can't seem to get an icon working for "parent directory".
Worked before, when using only css + html.
Every other icon assigned seems to be working.
Actually quite stupid of me, I accidentally had the indexoption for utf 8 encoding removed. Got that one working, but still struggling with the parent directory icon not displaying, had to set a "default icon" for it to display before parent directory and of course all other unknown formats, which is not a permanent solution (atleast I hope).
Is it also possible to rename what it displays as "parent directory"? in estonian it would be "ülemkaust". Would be great, if you could help me! Thanks ahead!


Hair is very important part of our personality and good looking and healthy hairs not just enhance our personality but also play very important part of the cooling system of our body.
Now a days due to our hectic lifestyle like many health problem our hair also faces problem.hair fall, hair damage, frizzy hair and dandruff is a common problem which every women faces. and these little problems can lead to baldness in long term.
With little concern and little care we can help our hair to get rid of these problem and also have good and healthy hairs.
Here are some home care tricks and remedies how to grow hair faster naturally.
Trim your hair – As we all know hairs grow form roots so why should you cut your hair for faster growth ? This is because of split hair If your hair have splits than splits will stop your growth because splits are like dead end . Splits prevents your hair from breathing and so it is necessary to get rid of it for a faster hair growth . Trim 1/4th of inch hair in every 10 – 12 weeks and it will give you great results in terms of hair growth. Never prick your split ends as it can give you other hair problems.
Don't over wash your hairs – Cleaning is a good habit as we all know but at the same time over doing any thing is not good. Similarly with your hairs don't wash your hair every time you take a shower as it can dry your scalp and result in hair fall. If you use shampoo a lot it can wash all your natural oils and kill your hair softness. For best results shampoo your hair only twice in a week and not more then that.
Eat healthy – Every problem that we face in our body is related to what we eat. Good eating habit not just make you healthy but it can also add to your beauty.For good and healthy hair you should eat a balanced diet . So your diet should always contain Vitamin B12, zinc, iron and calcium as they prevent hair loss.You know that our hair is composed of "keratin"- a protein. so you should eat protein rich diet such as soybean, cheese, milk, fish, chicken etc. and try to avoid junk food . .
Drink lots of water -Our hairs are made of two important components one is protein and other is water. Our hair is made up of 95% of protein and 5% is water but this 5% of water plays very crucial job in hair growth so don't avoid water. Drink 10- 12 glass of water daily which will give a shine to your hair as well as help you have faster hair growth.
Use right comb – Combing you hair for hair growth is very important Comb your hair 50 to 60 times in a day it will help you improves blood circulation but remember and don't be harsh on your hair comb it gently. You should also use right comb especially ones which have big teeth proper combing prevent hair from breaking.
Less use of hair iron and blow dry-Using blow dry and straightening hair every single day can weaken your hair roots and can result hair fall it could be a obstacle in fast hair growth.
Avoid styling product for fast growth– Every one wants to look stylish but some time you have to pay heavy cost for styling your hair . Most of the styling products contains silicon and silicon works as a slow poison for your hair and it can cause hair fall, frizzy hair, dry hair and it can cause hair growth to stop.
Natural product is key for hair growth- Always use natural products as they are good for hairs.Whenever possible, make sure you use your own homemade natural products as natural products don't have any side effects .
Don't use brush when your hair is wet- Brushing your hair is necessary for hair growth but when your hair are wet then they are more fragile and most vulnerable and most likely to break off. Now i know what is in your mind "What about when they do it at the salon every time I go in for a haircut?" but this is only time you can't escape brushing your hair wet because they have to measure your length of hair but at home you can easily avoid this situation.
Take 8 hours sleep-Do not forget to include 8 hours of sleep in your daily routine. Lack of sleep causes hair fall and other beauty problems. taking proper sleep can reduce many health problems as well so don't forget to take eight hour beauty sleep.
Avoid stress-Stress is enemy of good health so try to avoid stress and try to have a good cool lifestyle so that you can avoid health problems as well. Stress is one of the reasons for hair fall and can cause your hair growth to stop.
Tie your hair in right way-When you tie your hair into a tight ponytail or braid, the hair gets pulled from the roots and gets stressed. This makes them loose from the roots and thus, more prone to breakage. It makes the hair weak and thus causes permanent damage. Rubber bands also pull the hair out from the roots causing extensive damage to the mane which cause hair to become weak and hurts the scalp.
Wash your hair with cold water –If you really want your hair to grow faster than wash your hair with cold or room temperature water but do not wash with warm or hot water.Cold water lays down the outer layer of hair more smoothly, which helps prevent moisture loss and heat can damage.
Hot oil massage – Massage always give you relaxing feeling . Hot oil massage is blessing for your hair as massaging not only improves blood circulation till hair roots but also encourages your hair growth.
Egg for faster growth-As we know our hairs are made of 95 % of protein. Eggs are rich of protein and eating or applying eggs on hair both will give you good result. Any way eggs whites are known for their healing ability so grab a egg crack it apart apply yellow part of egg on your hair and thereby ensure that you have a healthy hair.
Take steam for hairs-Steam will help you by cleansing your hair scalp and steam will clean your pores helping your hair growth .
Take Biotin -Biotin is an effective way to make your hair growth faster. Biotin is basically a vitamin B that is present in foods like eggs, soy, whole grains, and liver. So, eat a biotin rich diet and if you are looking for faster result then you can also take a biotin supplement. But before taking supplements consult the doctor.
Use essential oil- Essential oils can really accelerate your hair growth . You just need to mix three drops of lavender oil, three drops of rosemary oil, and two drops each of thyme oil and cedarwood oil, along with some jojoba oil. apply this mixture on your hair once in a week and you will see the difference .
Choose Right Pillow Cover- You will be surprised to hear how pillow cover is related to hair growth but it is true. You should not sleep on the rough surface because it can damage your hair and could be a reason for splits in your hair and as previously mentioned splits can prevent your hair from growing. Avoid using Cotton Pillow covers and use silk pillow covers. One more benefit of silk pillow cover is that it also prevents your skin from having wrinkles.
Try the above tricks for hair growth and let us know in comments section or any other trick or home remedy which can be beneficial for hair growth .


GMA News Online reports that Pope Francis has become the first pontiff to grace the cover of Rolling Stone, considered as one of America's "most venerated chroniclers of youth and popular culture."
The report noted that the magazine cover shows a close up photo of the Pope smiling and waving. The tag line beneath his name, "the times they are a-changin'," was a reference "to Bob Dylan's landmark 1964 song and album that marked the start of a youth counter-culture that spread throughout the globe, including the Philippines."
The cover story written by Mark Binelli has been seen by many readers as a positively glowing profile on the pope. A passage of Binelli's 7,700-word article described Pope Francis as a man "whose obvious humility, empathy and, above all, devotion to the economically disenfranchised has come to feel perfectly suited to our times."

In recent years, it has been suggested that exercise using whole body vibration (WBV) platforms may increase muscle activity and subsequently enhance muscle performance in both acute and chronic conditions. WBV platforms produce frequencies ranging from 15-60 Hz and vertical displacements from ~1-11 mm, resulting in accelerations of ~2.2-5.1 g. Acute exposure to WBV has produced mixed results in terms of improving jump, sprint, and measures of muscle performance. With WBV training, younger fit subjects may not experience gains unless some type of external load is added to WBV exercise. However, sedentary and elderly individuals have demonstrated significant gains in most measures of muscle performance, similar with comparable traditional resistance exercise training programs. WBV training also has demonstrated gains in flexibility in younger athletic populations and gains or maintenance in bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. These promising results await further research to establish preferred WBV training parameters.
Humans experience the effects of externally applied forces constantly when exercising - when our feet contact the ground during locomotion or as we strike objects with sport implements. These contacts create vibrations within the tissues of the limbs, which gradually decline as soft tissues dampen these oscillations. The body relies on a number of factors to achieve this reduction in vibrations, primarily soft tissue structures but also bone, synovial fluids, specific joint positions, and muscle activity (1).
It has been suggested that externally applied forces intentionally applied directly to either muscle tendons or skeletal muscle, or indirectly through whole body vibration (WBV) platforms that subjects stand on, increases muscle activity and subsequently enhances muscle performance in both acute and chronic conditions. This summary will review the acute and chronic effects of WBV exposure, discuss the potential neuromuscular mechanisms, provide examples of typical WBV training regimens, and provide insight into potential use of WBV for unique populations.
WHAT IS WBV?
In most WBV research studies, subjects stand on a platform or plate that produces sinusoidal oscillations either in a vertical up and down motion or that rotates about a center fulcrum producing up and down vertical motion on alternating sides of the fulcrum. These movements result in vibrations transmitted indirectly to the subject through the legs. WBV platforms produce frequencies ranging from 15-60 Hz and vertical displacements from ~1-11 mm. The accelerations that a body experiences can be estimated from the following equation: a = A*(2π f)2 where a is the acceleration experienced expressed as an equivalent of the acceleration of earth's gravity (g), A is the amplitude of displacement, and f is the frequency of vibration in Hz. In many WBV studies, subjects experience accelerations of ~2.2-5.1 g.
As the body or body segment is subjected to these externally applied forces, skeletal muscle activity usually increases in an attempt to damper these oscillations, leading to increases in soft tissue stiffness. An activated muscle absorbs more vibration energy (2). Dupuis and Jansen (3) reported that under vibration conditions muscle activation of the triceps was greatest at vibration frequencies similar to the resonant frequencies of the wrist and elbow (10-20 Hz). Wakeling, Nigg, and Rozitis (4) reported that most vibration damping occurred at the resonant frequencies of the tissues when the muscles were most active. They proposed that the body has a strategy to minimize its vibration regardless of the mode of the input force (muscle tuning hypothesis). Cardinale and Wakeling (1) suggest that this strategy may have useful implications for sport training, equipment design, and rehabilitation. Presently, there has been limited research directed toward the optimal WBV platform characteristics (amplitudes and frequencies) applied chronically (training program) and subsequent muscle adaptations.
Proposed Mechanism of WBV
The most often cited mechanism proposed with WBV exposure is the "tonic vibration reflex" (TVR), where earlier studies applied a high frequency vibration directly to a muscle tendon for a short period of time, yielding an increase in muscle activity (5). Mechanical vibration applied to skeletal muscle or tendon has been shown to excite muscle spindle primary endings, primarily Ia afferent nerve endings (6). However, when these vibrations were applied directly to a tendon for a longer period of time (>30 sec) decreases rather than increases in muscle activity were reported (6-8). These decreases might be caused by a decrease in muscle spindle firing frequency (9), increased presynaptic inhibition (10), or decrease in neurotransmitter release (11). Because WBV typically uses exposures longer than 30 sec with the vibration applied indirectly through the feet rather than directly to the tendon, explaining the potential potentiating effect of WBV upon muscle activation through previous research using direct stimulation to a muscle tendon may not be appropriate. For example, Nishihira et al. (12) demonstrated that 3-min exposures of WBV during unloaded isometric high squat leg position significantly increased soleus ratio of H-reflex to M-response, H-reflex and M-response threshold 5 min after WBV exposure. These results suggest that an increase in both Ia afferents and descending commands to the motorneuron pool to enhance motor unit excitability were responsible for increased motor unit activity.
If WBV training enhances muscle performance, the mechanism might be through 1) greater activation of agonists during maximally contracted muscle or decrease of antagonistic muscle activation, and/or 2) greater gains in muscle mass or increased quality of muscle contraction (13). Regarding the first point, two acute studies have demonstrated that WBV applied during an unloaded squat position yielded greater electromyography (EMG) for rectus femoris (RF) and gastrocnemius (GA)than without WBV (14,15). Because WBV applies relatively low loads to skeletal muscle, an enhanced impact upon muscle hypertrophy is unlikely. In one study, WBV training did not result in significant gains in estimates of lean body mass (15) despite a report (16) where WBV caused an acute increase in circulating levels of testosterone and growth hormone with a decrease in cortisol levels, suggesting that WBV facilitates an anabolic state for skeletal muscle. However, this result was not verified with WBV training as Kvorning et al. (17) reported no change in pre- versus post-training levels of circulating testosterone, growth hormone, and cortisol.
Examples of Acute Exposure to WBV and Muscle Performance
Bosco et al. (18) tested elite female volleyball players for maximal dynamic leg press exercise with loads of 70, 90, 110, and 130 kg. WBV exposure followed, consisting of standing with the toes of one leg on the WBV platform with the knee bent at 100°. The WBV platform was set at 26 Hz and 10 mm amplitude, and subjects were exposed to 10 60-sec exposures during the single session. The control leg remained off the WBV platform. The treatment leg significantly increased average velocity, force, and power at all external loads of leg press.
Cardinale and Lim (19) compared the acute effects of standing on a WBV platform set at 30, 40, or 50 Hz while EMG activity of the vastus lateralis (VL) was measured. The greatest EMG activity was during 30 Hz, suggesting that WBV exposure frequencies at or near 30 Hz might yield the greatest muscle activation response.
Roelants et al. (20) compared the electromyographic response of the RF, VL, vastus medialis (VM), and GA during three unloaded isometric positions: high squat (HS), low squat, (LS), and one-legged (OL) squat with and without WBV set at 35 Hz. Compared with control, WBV exposure significantly increased EMG for all muscles during all exercises, ranging from 49% to 361% greater response. OL produced the greatest EMG for all muscles, and the EMG increase was greatest in the muscle closest to the WBV platform (GA). It has been determined that the sensitivity of Ia afferent nerves is higher with stretched (21) and preactivated muscle (22), which may account for the response of the GA versus the other muscles of the leg. This may be the best evidence to date that when WBV is combined with traditional resistance training (RT) exercises, the additional recruitment of skeletal muscle may prove to further enhance the gains in strength and power associated with RT programs.
Exercise Training with WBV
Nordlund and Thorstensson (13) conducted a literature review of WBV with studies that included a control group and had a training period lasting at least 1 wk. In the studies where the control group performed the identical type of training as the WBV group, four of five reported no differences between WBV and control groups for strength and jump performances. These studies also used younger, relatively active adults. When WBV training was compared with passive control groups (no exercise), consistently greater improvements in muscle performance were reported. This only demonstrates that WBV is preferred to performing no exercise at all to improve muscle strength and jumping performance. Many of these studies also used mixed-gender or postmenopausal women over the age of 60.
In a second review by Rehn, Lidstrom, Skoglung, and Lindstrom (23), they concluded that there is strong to moderate evidence that long-term WBV exercise can have positive effects upon the leg muscular performance among untrained subjects and the elderly. In their review, of 9 of 14 studies that reported significant improvements of leg strength or power, eight used untrained or elderly subjects, of which the majority were female. However, there was no clear evidence of benefits for muscular performance after short-term (single bout) vibration exposure. Of the five studies analyzed, three showed positive results with young adult subjects.
Additionally, there is a wide range of WBV protocols used in the literature. The typical vibration frequency used is about 26-30 Hz, although 35 and 40 Hz also are used. The amplitudes range from ~2-10 mm, and studies use exercises ranging from unloaded, exclusively isometric stances through the use of dynamic, added resistance exercise. In each case, the authors did not provide a rationale for selecting the WBV parameters. They appear to mimic volume and intensity manipulation one uses for traditional resistance training programs. This further highlights the need for more research before vibration training is recommended as a component of any training program.
Examples of Exercise Training with WBV
Ronnestad (24) trained male subjects for 5 wk. One group performed 6-10 RM squat exercise while standing on a WBV platform set at 40 Hz, while the other group performed the squat exercise without WBV. Both groups significantly increased squat 1-RM and CMJ performance; however the WBV group's increases were greater: 32.4% versus 24.2% and 9.0% versus 4.2%, for squat and CMJ, respectively.
Postmenopausal subjects were assigned to either a WBV program (maintaining high squat, deep squat, wide stance, and lunge positions on a WBV platform set from 35-40 Hz and 2.5-5.0 mm), traditional resistance training (leg press and leg extension with 8-20 RM loads), or assigned to a control group throughout the training period (24 wks). Measures of isometric and dynamic knee extension strength gains were similar comparing both training groups, while the WBV group improved more with CMJ performance. These results suggest that unloaded WBV exercises are just as effective as traditional RT for increasing leg strength in older women (25).
Annino et al. (26) trained ballet dancers for 8 weeks, three times per week on a WBV platform, standing in a half squat position for five 40-sec periods with 60 sec rest. Compared with dancers who only performed regular training and demonstrated small increases in performance measures, the WBV group increased CMJ 6.3% and average leg extension power and velocity by 25% and 26%, respectively.
Improvements in muscle rate of force development, sprint speed, and velocity of limb movement as a result of traditional versus WBV training also have demonstrated little additive benefit of applying WBV (27). Most WBV studies use static body positions held for 30-60 sec. This assumes that both agonists and antagonists are co-contracted, which may question the relative benefit of using only static exercise during WBV for improving ballistic, dynamic activities such as jumping and sprinting.
WBV and Flexibility Training
WBV training may have beneficial effects for improving flexibility and range of motion when added to traditional flexibility training programs. For example, 22 young (11.3 + 2.6 yr) gymnasts were assigned to either normal flexibility training or WBV applied during flexibility training (28). Subjects who only performed flexibility training improved right and left forward split ~2% while the gymnasts who were only exposed to vibration improved ~9.5%. The combined group increased 18.5%. When subjects performed static stretches prior to a CMJ and static jump test, a significant decline in jump height was observed. When stretching was performed on the vibration device, there was no subsequent decline in any parameter (peak force, RFD, or jump height). It appears that adding vibration exposure to flexibility training significantly improves flexibility while maintaining explosive strength. Stone et al. (29) demonstrated that static stretching hurts acute explosive performances, maximal strength, rate of force development (RFD), and power. The benefit of WBV may be caused by a decrease in musculotendinous stiffness, muscle antagonist inhibition, and increased pain threshold.
WBV also has been applied directly to muscles of the leg when young gymnasts trained 5 d weekly for 4 wk, placing lower extremity muscles on a specially designed vibrating box set at 30 Hz and 2 mm. The subjects demonstrated a significantly greater ROM in their right leg rear but not their left leg rear split performance (30). Van den Tillar (31) evaluated the combined effect of WBV and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching with PNF only. Subjects in the combined group stood in a squat position on a WBV platform set at 28 Hz for three 30-sec exposures before PNF flexibility training. The combined group improved ROM 30% versus a 14% improvement for the PNF-only group.
Potential Health-Related Benefits of WBV
Bone mineral density
In addition to the potential benefits for muscle performance, WBV may provide an even greater stimulus for maintaining or improving bone health. Gusi, Raimundo, and Leal (32) assigned 28 post-menopausal women to a walking or a WBV training group for 8 months. The WBV trained 3d weekly with six 1-min exposures (standing with knees flexed to 60° on a platform set at 12.6 Hz and 3 mm) while the walking group exercised for 55 min, 3 d weekly. The WBV group significantly increased BMD of the femoral neck 4.3%, while the increase at the spine was NS. Additionally, measurement of balance improved 29% in the WBV group. Torvinen et al. (33) conducted an 8-month randomized control trial where subjects (men and women aged 19-38 yr) were assigned to a control or an intervention group where subjects were exposed to 4 min, 3-5 times weekly on a platform set to vibrate at 25 to 45 Hz in ascending order. In spite of a 7.8% gain in jump height, bone mineral content, serum markers of bone turnover, and estimates of bone mass and structure were not affected at any skeletal site. The subjects in the WBV group assumed a series of body positions during the 4-min exposure, which the authors proposed may have altered the distribution of body oscillations, thus reducing the accelerations experienced by the subjects. Short bouts of extremely low-level mechanical vibrations (~0.3 g), several orders of magnitude below that associated with vigorous exercise, increased bone and muscle mass in the weight-bearing skeleton of young adult females with low BMD (34). Should these musculoskeletal enhancements be preserved through adulthood, this intervention may prove to be a deterrent to osteoporosis in the elderly. A 1-yr prospective, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial (35), 70 postmenopausal women demonstrated that brief periods (<20 min) of a low-level (0.2 g, 30 Hz) vibration applied during quiet standing can effectively inhibit bone loss in the spine and femur, with efficacy increasing significantly with greater compliance, particularly in those subjects with lower body mass. The spine of lighter women (<65 kg), who were in the highest quartile of exercise compliance, exhibited a relative benefit of active treatment of 3.35% greater BMD. For the mean compliance group, a 2.73% relative benefit in BMD was reported. These preliminary results indicate the potential for a noninvasive, mechanically mediated intervention for osteoporosis.
Safety Issues with WBV
It is well known in an occupational setting that chronic exposure to a vibrating source may be quite deleterious to overall health and well-being (36). Although the exposure to WBV is typically much lower in frequency and amplitude (thus lower g forces) than that of many occupational jobs, the transmission of vibrations from the WBV platform to the neck and head should be avoided. The resonant frequency (ResF) of the human body standing fully clothed ranges from 9-16 Hz in humans (37), with mean values for males and females very similar (12.2 vs 12.3 Hz). ResF is when the acceleration ratio between a body segment and the vibration source is maximum. ResF increases with muscle stiffness and decreases with body mass. This transmissibility factor also differs by body position. Little is known relative to WBV and RF during various types of exercise. The most common side effects of WBV exercise appear to be erythema, itching, and edema of the legs (38,39). Recent recommendations (40) proposed a systematic study of the resonance frequencies for various body positions with respect to the vibrating source, different body weights, and differing levels of muscle stiffness. For now, to avoid high transmission factors to the head, all WBV training should be conducted with some degree of flexion of the ankle, knee, and hip joints. Another technique is to either stand upright with only the forefoot (heels off) in contact with the platform or to stand on the platform but raise the heels off the platform. Both techniques should reduce the transmission of vibrations to the torso, neck, and head.
Recommendations for Exercise Training with WBV
When designing WBV training programs, there are several factors to consider:
Type of vibration platform - vertical verse reciprocating sinusoidal oscillations
Vibration frequency - typically ranges from about 25-45 Hz
Amplitude - ranges from ~1-10.5 mm
Body position(s) - joint angles of limbs on platform for static exercise
Number of Exercises - static and/or dynamic
Number of sets for each exercise
Number of Sessions per week
Duration of WBV exposure per exercise
Rest period between exercises
Subjects in many training studies have worn gymnastic shoes to decrease risk of bruising and minimize the dampening effect from the soles of sport shoes. WBV training should have a progressive overload sequence that includes gradually adding either more sessions per week, more exercises per session, more sets per exercise, more intense exercises (one-legged exercises more stressful than two-legged), greater duration per exercise, or shorter rest interval between exercises. Common unloaded static or dynamic WBV exercises are high squat, low squat, wide stance squat, one-legged squats, and lunges.
See Table for an example of a WBV training program for postmenopausal women.

mple of whole body vibration (WBV) training for postmenopausal women.
For younger, athletic subjects, since WBV exposure alone may not be a sufficient stimulus for eliciting chronic adaptations in muscle hypertrophy, strength, and power, it is recommended that this population use WBV either as 1) a "preconditioning" activity immediately before performing traditional RT and conditioning programs or 2) perform RT simultaneously with WBV. Additional exercises performed by healthy, fit subjects may include wide stance squat jumps, jump onto platform and hold landing, and dynamic one-legged squats. Some WBV platforms are large enough to accommodate most traditional RT movements, while others restrict movements to stationary foot placements with limited loading.
Although the evidence for acute benefit of WBV exposure upon muscle performance is equivocal, there appear to be no negative or adverse effects upon subsequent performance. Little information is available investigating whether WBV applied before a resistance exercise enhances chronic neuromuscular adaptations. Additionally, with the greater muscle activity reported performing RT and conditioning exercises with WBV (14,20), the possibility does exist whereby this added stimulus could provide benefits to highly trained subjects who may be searching for small, incremental improvements because of their advanced state of training.
Based upon present experimental evidence, WBV alone will provide limited or no benefit in improving muscle strength and/or jumping performance compared with similar exercise training without WBV in young, fit subjects. In sedentary and elderly subjects, there is a greater likelihood for WBV to improve muscle performance to at least the same if not greater extent than traditional training methods. Rehn et al. (23) recommended that further studies be performed in order to find an ideal combination of various vibration parameters (frequency, amplitude, duration, and body position) for full effect and with a specific body region and function in target to determine the functional importance. Caution is warranted because the wrong combination of vibration parameters may cause adverse health effects, such as cardiovascular and neural symptoms and disorders (36). Using WBV to maintain or improve BMD has shown promise, with results from longer, randomized control trials supporting the efficacy of WBV training. Finally, subjects diagnosed with coronary disease and hypertension should avoid WBV until more research investigates WBV effects upon total peripheral resistance and coronary blood flow.
