Gloria Baraquio is a yogini from Hawaii who began her practice in 2003 when she began suffering from anxiety attacks.

UK Athletics Trials 23.6.12 - 852 (1k) by Dave Collier

1 2

Asha Philip helping Jodie Williams off the track after the final, during which a hamstring injury brought her race (and seemingly her season) to an end. Here is the Press Association coverage of the story: www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5gPmUMo4td...

pelvic shift forward by Lesley Powell

II. PELVIC SHIFT FORWARD

Purpose

Weight transference and level change is essential for propulsion of our bodies in space. This allows us to move from sit to stand and move us in gait.

To start

Lie in constructive rest position. Put the attention to your feet. Think of the feet having two lanes, an outside and inside. Place weight equality on both lanes with the aches gently lifted. How does this change the placement of the knees? The feet should be lined up with your sitz bones. The knees are at 90 degrees flexion.

The movement

1. Press down on the feet to engage the hamstrings. The pelvis should remain quiet. Can you press down on the feet without tightening the lower back? The buttock’s muscles should remain release and the sacrum wide.

2. Using the muscles at the top of the thighbones, the muscles around the femur head start lifting the pelvis up and towards your feet.

3. Bring the pelvis high enough to extend the hips. The middle and upper ribs should remain soft on the floor.

4. Slowly lower the pelvis down to the floor using the legs. The spine is in neutral. The sacrum and the tailbone should come down to the floor almost as one piece.

5. Repeat three more times

Observation

Were the feet grounded the entire time? Did the knees wobbled? Imagine from the sitz bones, an airplane is taking off

in the direction of the heels with the pelvic lift.

PELVIC SHIFT LATERAL

Purpose

The use of the legs in adduction/abduction is needed with weight transference laterally. This is important in gait and movements that move side to side.

To start

1. Lie in a constructive rest position with the hands on both greater trochanter

The movement

1. Press down on both feet and perform a small pelvic shift forward. Lift the hips only a few inches.

2. Put the hands on the greater trochanter and glide the pelvis to the left. The greater trochanter and the hips should remain in the same line and equal distance away from the floor.

3. Lower the pelvis back to the floor remaining to the left. The tailbone is in relationship to your left heel.

4. Lift the hips up a few inches with the pelvis remaining in this shift.

5. Glide the pelvis back to center.

6. Lower the pelvis back to the original position.

7. Perform a small pelvic shift forward and glide the hips to the right.

8. Lower the pelvis down in the right shift

9. Lift the pelvis up in the right pelvic shift lateral

10. Shift the pelvis back to center and lower

11. Repeat the set three more times

Observation

Was the shift of the pelvis side to side with the greater trochanter remaining horizontally parallel to the floor? Where did you feel the movement, the legs or the back?

Ian Young was second to eventual Half Iron winner Jeff Symonds at this point, but had trouble in the 10k run, pulling out after the first lap. Someone said it was a pulled hamstring. I did take a photo of him looking dejected as he headed for a physio tent, but decided not to upload it.

Elephant Zakouma National Park in Chad by inyathi

13 1

Elephants very quickly learn where they're safe and where they're not, this is one of a number of bulls that hang around the Zakouma HQ area during the dry season.

For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.

Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.

Ten years after the 2008 economic recession, the government is ill-prepared to defend itself against the next economic downturn. Interest rates remain low, partisanship remains intractable, and the federal debt is rising at an unprecedented rate. These factors will hamstring traditional monetary and fiscal stimulus.

In his new book, “Law and Macroeconomics,” Yale Law Professor Yair Listokin argues that we can respond more quickly to the next economic crisis by deploying a policy approach whose proven success is too rarely acknowledged: regulation. He proposes that we take seriously the idea that law can function as a macroeconomic tool, capable of stimulating demand when needed and relieving demand when it threatens to overheat economies. And though history has demonstrated that law is an unwieldy instrument of macroeconomic policy, Listokin argues that under certain conditions it offers a vital alternative to the monetary and fiscal policy tools.

On Tuesday, September 10, at an Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center event, Listokin presented the key findings of his research, and panelists deepened the discussion by addressing the following questions:

What role does the law play in stimulating aggregate demand?

How can laws and regulations complement traditional fiscal and monetary policy approaches to stabilizing the business cycle?

Can regulations act as an effective alternative to fiscal and monetary policy during economic downturn?

Which regulations should lawmakers implement to combat economic shocks?

Zakouma's elephant herd from the air by inyathi

For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve.

Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.

After so many years of poaching most of Zakouma's elephants still generally stick together in a single big herd and often keeping to the thick bush making it easier to spot them from the air.

Recommendations For Being In Shape by ACrepair Dallas

Fitness means being healthy physically and mentally. Being in shape will enhance both your both mental and physical total well being. Should you be struggling to have fit again, the subsequent article has guidelines to better your fitness level.

Pick a fitness plan that concerns activities you love, and this will likely sustain your interest over the future. Pick something you love, to help you actually look ahead to training.

Not every person has many time that they may spend on exercise. It is possible to reduce your workout into smaller increments. Simply split your normal workout time into two parts. Therefore, as opposed to training to get a 60 minutes burst, split it into two half-hour sessions, one morning then one night. Unless you desire to check out the gym twice in one day, do one of many workouts in the home.

Counting calorie intake is a superb way of getting fit. You should monitor your calories as your calorie balance determines how your weight changes every day. Should you use up more calories than you take in, you may slim down.

You should protect your knees, and to achieve this, you should strengthen your thighs. Torn kneecap ligaments certainly are a common sports injury. Quads and hamstrings are definitely the muscles to boost to make certain similar injuries don't eventually you. Examples of such work outs are leg curls and leg extensions.

Doing a large number of crunches will never offer you a 6-pack. While abdominal exercises do strengthen muscles, they are doing not actually burn stomach fat. You must workout every area of your body and carry on a strict diet to acquire washboard abs.

Basic bodybuilding workout: To develop muscle tissue, lift more weight for fewer reps. Decide on a certain group of muscles and initiate your routine. Start out with a warm-up set using lighter weights. Try doing around 15 roughly reps for that warm-up. The 2nd set needs to be 6 to 8 reps with a heavier weight. During the last set, bump the weight by another five pounds.

When you have read inside the above article, it is actually feasible to arrive at a very high level of fitness, then one you may be happy with. It's time and energy to stop being embarrassed with how out of shape you happen to be. Stick to the recommendations in the following paragraphs, and very soon you may achieve your fitness goals. coursdepilates.org/

Lunge Stretch by Carl Simonson

If starting with the right leg:

Begin standing with feet side-by-side and body in tall posture. Take one large step forward with the right leg, so the left leg is in full extension. Place the left hand on the ground for stability and place the right elbow at the in-step of the right foot. Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds.

Stretch calf and hamstring muscles by bending left leg, leaning back onto left foot, and straighten the right leg. Keep both hands on the ground for support and lift right foot up so only the heel is touching. Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds.

Key points:

-Keep back leg straight when in the lunge

-GO SLOW!

So, if you are heading for an adventurous trekking trip, stick to certain trekking guidelines and tips. Following these simple tips will help make the trek more fun and experiential for you as well as your fellow trekkers.

These tips and guidelines cater to useful and requisite information about your fitness training, packing, and health precautions to be taken before and during the trek.

Firstly, when you start, target 5 km in 40 minutes

Then gradually increase your pace by running at least 4 times a week. Then try to bring it down to 5 km in less than 37 minutes

If you are a person who prefers cycling over running then your target must be 22 km means you should be able to cover 22 km in 60 minutes.

Walking is a great exercise that gives great shape to your legs and your body. It helps in burning calories and cut down excess weight and strengthens the heart.

Jogging is effective in increasing the human lifespan and making your lungs stronger. It is an aerobic activity that requires a lot of oxygen. This is a great exercise for fighting obesity and staying healthy.

Squats are the best form of functional exercise to improve stability. They also strengthen your legs, thighs, hips, and hamstring.

Another great cardiovascular exercise is pushing your body upstairs after stairs. This is regarded as the best exercise for increasing strength and power

What we do during an emergency breakout in the Adi Kailash om Parvati Trek

First of all, the safety of trekkers is much more for us, if you see at the trek, then there are all the risks, which I do not think about.

Himalayan Hikers worry more about you than no one should ever have any problem on the trek.

What should we and you keep more safety in the trek

Whenever you are going for any trek, it is very important that you go completely fit and ready.

The trek is not difficult, if you make your feet and your mind calm and strong, you will find the trek very easy.

While trekking, keep in mind that you are walking on the right route or not always with your guide.

Most people look somewhere and where they are walking, this can cause twitching in your legs, which can ruin your entire trek.

It is important to ask your doctor if you have any medical problems

I should always keep my medical kit with me, it is very important.

Himalayan Hikers always keep a medical kit with them, such as oxygen cylinders, and medicine to be given in an emergency on the trek

If any trekkers have any more problems, then they are brought back to the base camp by laying on a stretcher.

Our camp in Adi Kailash om Parvati trek is around 8000 feet to 18000 feet where you can not have any big problem with oxygen

In case of any medical problem, the help of your guide or a well-informed trekker should be taken

If there are major health problems in Adi Kailash om Parvati trek, then Nearest Hospital is in Haldwani which is about approx. 300 km away from Adi Kailash om Parvati trek

Along with the trek we keep getting acclimatization

Trunk Zakouma National Park in Chad by inyathi

Elephants very quickly learn where they're safe and where they're not, this bull is one of a small group that hang around the Zakouma HQ area during the dry season. After everything that these elephant's have been through it's remarkable that any of them are willing to trust humans at all. However they are such intelligent animals that not only do they know where there safe but they also know who their friends are and these bulls that come to the Park Director Rian Labuschagne's house have learned to take water from a garden hosepipe.

For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.

Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.

“The slow collapse of the social contract is the backdrop for a modern mania for clean eating, healthy living, personal productivity, and ‘radical self-love’—the insistence that, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, we can achieve a meaningful existence by maintaining a positive outlook, following our bliss, and doing a few hamstring stretches as the planet burns.” ―Laurie Penny
