A paddle holster is a holster for a handgun whose method of securing the holster to the wearer utilizes a flat, concave shaped piece of plastic or stiffened leather designed to be worn against the body inside of the pants. The broad surface area of the "paddle" and the material from which it is made use friction to prevent the holster from being pulled up and away when the handgun is drawn.

Advantages and disadvantages
The primary benefit of this style of holster is that the entire holster and firearm may be removed from the wearer easily. Firearm wearers such as plainclothes detectives who frequently need to move between vehicles, offices, and field work may employ paddle holsters as they allow them to conveniently remove the holster and firearm when sitting and then just as easily replace it when needed. A typical handgun holster that attaches to the user via a belt does not offer the same flexibility requiring the user to remove his/her belt in order to remove the holster. This lack of dependence on a belt allows users the option of not even wearing a belt and still using a paddle holster.

One disadvantage of the paddle holster is that its physical security is not as great as a holster secured with a belt as the paddle holster relies on the friction of the "paddle" to keep it in place.  A second disadvantage is that paddle holsters tend to be larger in size which reduces the ability to conceal them easily.

Options
Options for the holster material are as varied as for any other holster and include plastic, nylon, and leather. Retention of the handgun in a paddle holster uses similar methods to other holsters such as adjustable tension devices and thumb break straps. Some paddle holsters have adjustable cant and tilt allowing the "paddle" to remain upright and shaped to the hip while the angle of the draw can be adjusted to suit the user's preference. Typically, the paddle holster has a "duck-bill" spring clip that slides over the wearer's belt, or belt and pants together, to help secure the holster to the wearer.

Many people who carry a gun for a living use a Safariland holster. They're often the first to the market with the new standard for law enforcement. The company's still popular SLS made its debut in the 1990s, the ALS system followed, and now the GLS, or Grip Locking System, is raising the bar yet again. GLS (Grip Lock System) secures weapon once holstered; the retention device is de-activated by the middle finger upon a standard shooting grip.

Overview
Marguerite Ross Barnett (May 21, 1942 – February 26, 1992) was the eighth president of the University of Houston and a former chancellor of the University of Missouri–St. Louis.  Barnett was the first African American woman to lead a major American university.

Barnett was born in Charlottesville, Virginia. She grew up in Buffalo, New York, and graduated from Bennett High School in 1959. After graduating from Antioch College in 1964, she earned a master's degree in political science and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Chicago.  Barnett then taught at the University of Chicago, Princeton University, Howard University, and Columbia University.

She was vice-chancellor for academic affairs at the City University of New York from 1983 to 1986, and chancellor of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, from 1986 to 1990. Dr. Barnett then became the president of the University of Houston, from 1990 to 1992. Dr. Barnett's term came to an end on February 26, 1992, she tragically died of cancer. Additionally, she served on the boards of the Monsanto Company, the Educational Testing Services, the Student Loan Marketing Association (SALLIE MAE), the American Council on Education, and the Committee on Economic Development. She also served on the board of directors of the Houston Grand Opera and the board of advisors of the Houston Symphony.

Education
Dr. Barnett received her bachelor's degree in political science in 1964 from Antioch College, It was here where she found her love for Indian politics. She then went on to receive her master's degree in 1969 and her Ph.D. in 1972 from the University of Chicago. During her Ph.D. she traveled abroad to India to do research for her dissertation. Dr. Barnett's focus was African American studies and Indian politics. While receiving her Ph.D. she also taught a political science course in 1969 and taught a lecture course in 1970. This was very uncommon in the 1960s for a major University to allow African American women to teach courses while receiving their Ph.D.

Career
Once Dr. Barnett received her Ph.D., she began her teaching career at Princeton University. She was an assistant professor at Princeton University between the years 1970–1976. During her time at Princeton, Dr. Barnett turned her dissertation into a book that she completed in 1976. Her book The Politics of Cultural Nationalism in South India won the Political Science Associations Ethnic and Cultural Pluralism award in 1981, which was published by Princeton University Press. After her six-year stint at Princeton University, Dr. Barnett began to teach at Howard University, One of the most known HBCUs in the country. During her four years at Howard, she taught political science while also serving as chair of her department between 1977 and 1980. She also helped create the Ethnic Heritage project which studied the history of African Americans in Gum Springs, Virginia. After her four years at Howard University, she decided to take another teaching position at Columbia University.  Dr. Barnett was a professor at Columbia University where she taught political science and education from 1980 to 1983. She also served as a director of the institute for minority and urban education.

Once she left Columbia University, she would now shift completely from the classroom to the administration side of the university. She became vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the City University of New York. from 1982 to 1983 she was co-principal investigator on the Constitution and American Culture and the training program for special project directors, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. She worked as vice chancellor for three years until she received a job offer from the University of Missouri–St. Louis where she would become chancellor. Dr. Barnett was chancellor at the University of Missouri- St Louis between 1986 and 1990. She created the Bridge program whose goal was to help students who were finically struggling in public school to receive a better education, it also focused on the “bridge” between high school and college students, especially in the science and mathematics department. She won the Anderson Medal award for this program. She also initiated seven new Ph.D./master's degree programs within different departments. Dr. Barnett doubled the amount of federal research and service grant dollars received within her first year as chancellor. She did such a great job at the UMST that the New York Times credited her with “taking a sleepy campus and turning it around”.

On September 1, 1990, Dr. Barnett became the first-ever African American women president at a major university with more than 30,000 students. She became president of the University of Houston. On her first official meeting on September 4, 1990, she laid out seven major challenges that the University of Houston faced which she would try to correct. She wanted to focus on the movement of the campus toward the goal of enhanced national and international stature, maintenance of quality undergraduate instruction, community service/ community outreach, resources, diversity, democratization at the University of Houston, and quality of our environment. Dr. Barnett had three overarching principles which she believed should guide campus policy, a commitment to excellence, to partner with the Houston community, and to a humane campus community.

Under her leadership a multitude of programs were created, the first being the Texas Center for University-School Partnership. Her first public address is when she named the plans for this program. The Texas center for University-School Partnership is an outreach program designed to assess national school reform efforts and disseminate the results of the successful programs across the country. In the programs first year 37 universities joined, from colleges in New York to colleges in California. She also created the Texas Center for Environmental Studies in 1991. The purpose was to address the multidisciplinary concerns for the nation's environmental needs through research, education service activities in history, law, engineering, science, business, and communications. Another very notable program was the Friends of the University of Houston which was to assist in telling the story of the university to the Houston community. This program was considered the first of its kind, due to the fact that the University of Houston public history program had just been created in 1984.

Dr. Barnett also focused on the diversity aspect of the university as well. She addressed this during the Black Alumni Association annual meeting in the fall of 1990. She believed that diversity was a major issue in all programs, and we should make it a priority and not let it occur “naturally”. She appointed Dr.Elwyn Lee over the African American studies program with help from Dr. Elizabeth brown- Guillory. Dr. Mindiola was over the Mexican American studies program, he helped the Houston Mexican American community integrate with Hispanic students. Dr. Barnett tried to implement five major ideas when dealing with diversity, a business and professional leaders mentor program where alumni and corporate ladders would work as partners with the university to mentor individual students from disadvantaged and minority backgrounds, a university consortium to encourage minority students to seek graduate degrees and to provide positions for graduates of that program, a faculty mentorship program for new minority faculty members, a university-wide week celebrating diversity each year through student and academic programs, a student and faculty volunteer program bringing University of Houston faculty and students into lower-income schools, and neighborhoods to work with disadvantaged youth.

During her time at the University of Houston, Dr. Barnett raised over 350 million dollars in funds in less than two years. Dr. Barnett received the largest donation in not only the University of Houston's history but any public university at the time. The donation was 51.4 million from the John and Rebecca Moore.

Dr. Barnett is widely known for the Bridge program and the Texas Center for University-School Partnership, but she focused on many different programs throughout her professional career. She served on the board for the Monsanto Company, the Educational testing service, the National student loan marketing association, the Houston Grand Opera, the board of advisors of the Houston Symphony, the American Council on Education, the Board of Union Electric, the St Louis Symphony, the St Louis Arts and Education Council,  the and St Louis Civic. She was also appointed President's Commission on Environmental Quality by George H. W. Bush Dr. Barnett was also a member of professional associations in political science, South Asian studies, the Overseas Development Council, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Cleaved council. She was the trustee of the committee on Economic Development.

Legacy
Dr. Barnett is the first African American woman to become president at a major institution with over 30,000 students. The first African American female president at a college Institution was Willa Beatrice Player and the first African American president at an ivy league institution was Ruth Simmons. All three of these women achieved major milestones for not only themselves but for the African American community as well. They broke barriers for African American women, in a study done by two students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, there have been over forty female African American college presidents between 1992 and 2002. Prior to this there were only twenty-three African American female college presidents between 1900 and 1991.

Dr. Barnett fell ill with hypoglycemia cancer which caused her to take a leave of absence in January 1992. She traveled to Wailuku, Hawaii during her leave. Dr. Barnett died on Wednesday, February 26, 1992. On The day of her passing the University of Houston released two statements. The first statement written by Chancellor Alexander F. Schilt praised Dr. Barnett for the resources, habits, and programs that she created that would benefit the future of the university. The second statement written by James H Pickering (Acting President) addressed Dr. Barnett's vision for the university and her impact while also mentioning that on that upcoming Sunday, March 1 at 3:00 p.m. a memorial service will be held at Cullen Performance Hall. George H. W. Bush wrote to her husband “Marguerite was a dedicated servant to the University of Houston, to her community, and to her country. She was very special, and she will be missed”, King would share these words at her memorial in front of Cullen Hall.

Dr. Barnett will be remembered for a multitude of her achievements. At UMSL she has a scholarship named after her whose goal is to help students who are in the Bridge program receive their graduate degrees. Also, At UMSL the Bridge program is still performing at a very high level. Although this is the only program that Is still active, she was a pioneer in how the University of Houston would become one of the most diverse universities in the nation.

was a Japanese composer, pianist and conductor. Hayashi is considered to be one of the most renowned and accomplished Japanese composers of the postwar period. In particular, Hayashi was noted for his choral suite Scenes from Hiroshima (1958–2001).

In exploring the possibilities of Japanese language opera, Hayashi composed more than 30 operas. He was artistic director and resident composer of the Opera Theatre Konnyakuza. His oeuvre also includes symphonic works, works for band, chamber music, choral works, songs and more than 100 film scores. Hayashi was also the author of more than 20 books including Nihon opera no yume (日本オペラの夢 The Dream of Japanese Opera).

In 1998 Hayashi won the 30th Suntory Music Award.

Early life
Hikaru Hayashi was born in Tokyo on October 22, 1931. He was the cousin of renowned flautist Ririko Hayashi. Hayashi's father was a physician who had graduated from Keiō University Medical School, and had studied in Berlin before returning to Japan to take up a position as a professor at Nihon University. A musical prodigy, Hayashi began studying music under his father's friend, the famed composer Hisatada Otaka, at the age of 10, composing numerous full-length chamber music and orchestral works while still a child. Hayashi later entered Tokyo University of the Arts as a composition student but did not complete his studies.

Career
In 1953, Hayashi co-founded the "Goat Society" (山羊の会, Yagi no Kai) with other young composers such as Michio Mamiya and Yuzō Toyama. The aim of the society was to develop a new form of Japanese classical music different from wartime ultranationalist music. Over the course of the 1950s, the group increasingly became involved in left-wing politics. For example in 1958, when conservative prime minister Nobusuke Kishi attempted to pass a draconian Police Duties Bill to crack down on left-wing protesters, the Goat Society inserted a statement opposing the bill into the program of their fifth anniversary concert.

From 1959 to 1960, Hayashi participated in the Anpo protests against revision of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty alongside other young composers, artists, and writers as part of the "Young Japan Society" (若い日本の会, Wakai Nihon no Kai). Hayashi was deeply affected by the failure of the protests to stop the treaty, and penned several ballads about the movement, including "6/15," a song in honor of the memory of Tokyo University student Michiko Kanba, who had been killed during the protests.

Immediately following the protests, Hayashi helped co-found the Seinen Geijutsu Gekijō ("Youth Art Theater"), which was one of the earliest theatre troupes in the Angura movement of radical, "underground" avant-garde theatre.

Beginning in the late 1950s, Hayashi became increasingly known for his innovative film scores, especially as part of his long-running collaboration with Japanese filmmaker Kaneto Shindo, beginning with his scoring of Shindo's film Daigo Fukuryū Maru, ("Lucky Dragon No. 5," 1959), which was based on the Lucky Dragon No. 5 nuclear fallout incident of 1954. For example, Hayashi created "harrowing" scores for the Shindo-directed horror films Onibaba ("Demon Hag," 1964) and Kuroneko ("The Black Cat," 1968) by combining taiko drums with the sound of human screams. Hayashi also collaborated with filmmaker Nagisa Ōshima, scoring Ōshima films such as Violence at Noon (1966), Band of Ninja (1967), and Death by Hanging (1968). Ultimately, Hayashi would go on to craft scores for more than 100 films.

In 1975, Hayashi was appointed artistic director and resident composer of the Opera Theatre Konnyakuza in Tokyo, a post he held until his death in 2012.

Later life and death
In September 2011, Hayashi collapsed in front of his home, hitting his head.  He was rushed to the hospital in an unresponsive state, where he received treatment for several months. He died on January 5, 2012, at the age of 80.

James Wandin (28 July 1933 – 20 February 2006), also known as Jim, Jimmy, or Juby, was the ngurungaeta of the Wurundjeri till his death in February 2006. He was the first Australian rules footballer of Aboriginal descent to play with St Kilda Football Club in 1952–1953.

Family
James Wandin was a great-great nephew to William Barak, the last traditional ngurungaeta of the Wurundjeri-willam clan. He was the last person born at Coranderrk Station, in 1933, in the home of his grandmother, Jemima Wandin. When the Station was closed in 1923 Jemima Wandin was one of 5 elderly people who refused to leave. She is buried in the Coranderrk Cemetery.

His father, Jarlo Wandoon, tried to enlist for World War I, but was rejected due to being an Aboriginal. When he attempted to enlist under his whitefella name, James Wandin, he was accepted into the army and served in France and is listed under that name on the honour roll in the Healesville RSL. On returning home, Jarlo Wandoon had to get permission from the police to visit his mother, was escorted onto Coranderrk, and was only allowed half an hour with her before he was sent off to the Lake Tyers Mission in Gippsland.

Much of Coranderrk was divided up and sold for soldier settlement allotments.

Jarlo found work with the Postmaster-General's Department, and was able to buy a block of land at Healesville – a home for his family on Wurundjeri land.

Football
One of ten children, James left school at 15 in 1949 and played Australian rules football with the Healesville seconds. The team won the premiership and Wandin was awarded the Best and Fairest. He moved on to play with the seniors who won a premiership in 1951. He joined St Kilda Football Club in 1952, after a period of training with them at Junction Oval. He was the first Aboriginal footballer with St Kilda, playing centre half forward. Other Aboriginal players in the VFL at the time were Essendon's Norm McDonald and Melbourne's Eddie Jackson. He left St Kilda Football Club after just 17 games due to "homesickness" and what he later reflected as a lack of support.

In 2003 Wandin reflected on the racist taunts he faced during games in a report in The Age newspaper: "Opposition players would call you niggers and all that, the whole lot, Kooris and whatever week in, week out. Pretty rash things said, I can tell you. You had to just deal with it yourself, nothing like what Michael Long's got now going. You dealt with it, you just got on with the game."

He was called up for National Service in 1952.

After leaving St Kilda Football Club he took up a position of player coach in 1954 with the Healesville seniors and coached until 1961. He joined the Postmaster-General's Department and worked for 37 years, but continuing to coach football at Healesville and Apollo Bay.

Ngurungaeta
James Wandin held the position of Ngurungaeta in the Wurundjeri nation. He was also President of the Wurundjeri Tribe Land Compensation and Cultural Heritage Council.

In 2000 James Wandin and Carolyn Briggs, representing the Wurundjeri and Boonerwurung peoples of the Kulin nation, gave historic welcome to country speeches at a sitting of the Victorian Parliament on 26 May 2000. Parliament Hill was noted in Wandin's speech as one of the Wurundjeri ceremonial corroboree grounds.

He concluded his speech to parliament saying:

Death
While ill with cancer in February 2006 he prepared a statutory declaration declaring his nephew Murrundindi his successor as Wurundjeri Ngurungaeta. After his death his partner, Judy Freeman, symbolically passed to Murrundindi a lil-lal, or hunting boomerang, and a sprig of pale yellow wattle. Several hundred people attended Healesville football oval to pay their respects to a respected Wurundjeri elder and great footballer. He was buried at Healesville Cemetery, in the shadow of Mount Riddell, as he requested.

The Annual best and fairest player award in division two of the Yarra Valley Mountain Football League is called the Wandin Medal. The James (Juby) Wandin Memorial Match has been established by Yarra Glen Football Club to commemorate James Wandin's 55 years contribution to the sport as a player and coach at local level and at Apollo Bay. The inaugural match in May 2008, won by Yarra Glen Football Club, was used to raise funds to erect a memorial at James Wandin's grave and for a perpetual trophy.

John Jeffry Louis Jr. (June 10, 1925 – February 15, 1995) was an American businessman and diplomat. He served as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Early life
John J. Louis Jr., was born in Evanston, Illinois to Chicago advertiser John Jeffry Louis and Johnson Wax heiress Henrietta Johnson Louis. He grew up in the Chicago area.

During the Second World War, he served in the United States Army Air Forces (1943–1945), where he was a second lieutenant and pilot. After the war, he received a bachelor of arts degree from Williams College and a master in business administration from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College in 1949.

Career
Entering business in 1951, John J. Louis Jr. started in his father's advertising firm, Needham, Louis, and Brorby. In 1953, he married Josephine Louis (née Peters), with whom he had three children. He then joined S.C. Johnson and Son in 1958. S.C. Johnson was the successor company of his great-grandfather's company, Johnson Wax. At S.C. Johnson, John J. Louis Jr. was director of international marketing until 1961.

From 1961 to 1968, he was chairman of KTAR Broadcasting in Phoenix, Arizona, until it merged with a local billboard company to form Combined Communications Corporation. He then served as chair of the merged company. In 1979, Combined Communications merged with Gannett, and Louis joined Gannett.

His first diplomatic work was in the ceremonial role of Special Ambassador in 1972 at an independence celebration in Gabon, during the presidency of Richard Nixon. More substantially, he was nominated to the post of United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom by President Ronald Reagan on March 27, 1981. He served in that post until his resignation on September 19, 1983. In his resignation, Louis expressed optimism about the quality of relations with the United Kingdom and the government of Margaret Thatcher, yet stated his desire to return to corporate and philanthropic pursuits.

Philanthropy
Louis served as a trustee of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he had a building, John J. Louis Hall named for his father, John J. Louis, who had also been a trustee of the university. The building, which houses Northwestern's professional production and post-production facilities for the Department of Radio/Television/Film as well as public radio WNUR 89.3 FM and a classroom/lab for the Medill School of Journalism still exists on Northwestern's South end of campus today near Norris University Center.

Death and legacy
On February 15, 1995, Louis died in his home in Winnetka, Illinois, at age 69. His son John Jeffry Louis, III has continued the family tradition, serving on the boards of directors of S.C. Johnson and Gannett, as well as the Northwestern University board of trustees.

James Gunn's PG Porn is a web series created by brothers James Gunn, Brian Gunn, and Sean Gunn. It consists of a series of pornography spoofs, with a humorous event occurring just before the supposed commencement of pornographic sexual acts. Each episode pairs a mainstream actor with a pornographic actress or model. The tagline is, "For people who love everything about Porn...except the sex".

Production

The initial web episode premiered on Spike.com. Spike subsequently picked up the series for an additional 11 episodes.

According to Gunn, the idea was developed in the early 2000s, before short-term Internet-based sketch comedies became popular. Stephen Blackehart of The Good Boys Productions produced the show with Jake Zim and Peter Safran of Safran Digital Group (SDG) for Spike.com.

All episodes are directed by James Gunn and have a score by Tyler Bates. The fifth episode is not hosted on Spike.com. In James Gunn's words this was "because the head of Spike Network FREAKED OUT on the, uh, raunchiness of the content and pulled it down." The video was available on Gunn's website.

In 2010, French channel Canal+ produced a remake of the series, titled Du hard ou du cochon !.

The Pasadena via Oak Knoll Line was an interurban route of the Pacific Electric Railway. It operated from 1906 until 1950, between Downtown Los Angeles and Downtown Pasadena, California. Cars ran as far as Altadena during rush hours.

History

The route was originally built in 1906 to reach the Wentworth Hotel (later Huntington Hotel) in Oak Knoll from El Molino and was thusly known as the Wentworth Line, a designation it retained for some time. It tied into the Monrovia–Glendora Line. The routing through Pasadena was changed in 1913 to Lake Avenue, Colorado Street, Raymond Avenue, and through the car house on Fair Oaks Avenue. A further rerouting in downtown Los Angeles occurred on December 3, 1916. The outbound terminus was changed for all trips to Altadena between October 1928 and May 1929. The routing was reverted after that, but rear cars of a few rush hour trains continued until January 18, 1941.

Congestion at the Pacific Electric Building during World War II forced Oak Knoll Line trains to utilize a loop route around Downtown instead of running directly to the terminal building starting in July 1943. Trains would continue to run to the Main Street Terminal every New Years Day to serve passengers traveling to the Tournament of Roses Parade. The loop line was discontinued on October 5, 1947.

Service was largely discontinued after October 8, 1950 with a single round trip operating between Pasadena and El Molino to maintain the franchise. This ended after December 28. It was the second to last Pacific Electric line to be decommissioned in Pasadena, and was the last line to run along Colorado Boulevard.

By 1981, the tracks along the entirety of the route had been removed.

Route
The line followed the Monrovia–Glendora Line to the end of the quadruple-track system at El Molino Junction. From that point (at Huntington Drive), two tracks in a private right of way ran northerly on Oak Knoll Avenue to the Huntington Hotel. At this point, the line proceeded north in the pavement of city streets, running on Oak Knoll Avenue and South Lake Avenue as far as Colorado Street. It then turned west and ran on Colorado Street through the Pasadena business district to Fair Oaks Avenue. Here, the line turned north and ran on Fair Oaks Avenue several blocks to the terminus of the route at the North Fair Oaks Carhouse.

The metabolic window (also called the anabolic window or protein window) is a term used in strength training to describe the 2 hour (give or take, dependent on the individual) period after exercise during which nutrition can shift the body from a catabolic state to an anabolic one. Specifically, it is during this period that the intake of protein and carbohydrates can aid in the increase of muscle mass.

Currently there is not sufficient scientific evidence to support the metabolic window theory.

The metabolic window is based on your body's anabolic response. Anabolism is when small molecules grow into bigger complex molecules. This is the opposite to catabolism, when larger molecules break down in the body. During anabolism, the molecules form into new larger cells and tissues.

After strength training, your body is anabolic. This physical state requires a lot of cellular processes to take place for muscle repair and growth. These processes are fueled by nutrients called protein and carbohydrates. The associated benefits to hitting the metabolic window of 30 minutes or less include increasing protein synthesis, reducing muscle protein breakdown and replenishing muscle glycogen. These are all processes that take place at a slow rate in the body and by pumping your body full of nutrients immediately after a workout, allows your body to increase the rate of repair and hopefully gain more muscle mass.

There are also other factors that come into play when discussing the metabolic window theory. Some of these factors include how muscle protein breakdown (MPB) and muscle protein synthesis (MPS) interact, and the timing if protein consumption prior to or following a workout. The most well proven variable to muscle building is progressive overload, which involves lifting more resistance over time, to which the muscles adapt.

Fasted Exercise
The evidence for replenishing depleted energy levels only relates when they are completely gone at the beginning of training, such as during fasted exercise. This is where large amounts of the day go by without any eating to spike and deplete energy levels to trick the body, followed by a training session (with low levels of nutritional energy) to force the body to be uncomfortable. Following this, the body is at an abnormally low level of various nutrients (such as carbohydrates and proteins), which are then put back into the body to force an even higher adaptation in the body. During fasted exercise, an increase in muscle protein breakdown causes the pre-exercise negative amino acid level to continue in the post exercise period despite increases in muscle protein synthesis. This is why it would make sense to provide immediate nutritional replenishment after exercise as there was already such a low level before training started. This would turn the catabolic state of the body into an anabolic one and therefore, promote the metabolic window as desirable. This means more or less that the body is so used to receiving food that when you starve yourself, the body does not know what to do, so it enters a panic mode where you push yourself through a depleted state, and then finally feed yourself and the body absorbs even more of the nutrients and only takes the ones needed. An example of this diet would be Intermittent Fasting.

Glycogen
Glycogen is one of the primary replenishments after exercise. Glycogen is considered essential to training at levels needed for muscle hypertrophy, responsible for as much as 80% of ATP production during workouts. Due to such involvement of glycogen in the body during training, it is suggested that we replenish these levels after training. Glycogen comes in the form of carbohydrates such as potatoes, rice, bread and pasta. This can also be taken care of with a post training drink such as a recovery shake. These glycogen stores do recover over time though because they are already high enough after training to not cause any serious effect on the bodies production if following a regular eating plan (3-4 meals a day).

Some theorists believe the metabolic window begins to close within minutes of the end of a workout. They claim the same nutrients taken two hours later result in significantly reduced protein synthesis and muscle glycogen storage.

Muscle Protein Breakdown and Muscle Protein Synthesis
Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is the metabolic process of building muscle mass. Muscle protein breakdown (MPB) is the opposite process of breaking down muscular tissue. Muscle protein breakdown and muscle protein synthesis occur concurrently, meaning there is a constant renewal of protein in the body. The net muscle protein balance (NBAL) is the relationship between muscle protein breakdown and muscle protein synthesis. It is determined by the stability between the two processes. The anabolic state theory suggests that it is critical to consume proteins and carbohydrates immediately after resistance training to increase muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle protein breakdown, and replenish glycogen levels in the muscle. In response to resistance training, muscle protein breakdown increases but it does not increase as much as protein synthesis. Since eating proteins and carbs immediately after exercising is known to reduce MPB, it is also assumed that in doing so, this will increase lean muscle mass by increasing the net protein balance. Muscle protein breakdown targets many types of proteins including damaged proteins and proteins that are rapidly turning over. To increase mass muscle size, changes depend on myofibrillar proteins and MPB would need to target these proteins specifically. Since MPB affects multiple types of protein, limiting protein breakdown through post-workout nutrition will hinder proper recovery by degrading the essential proteins for rebuilding muscle. According to a study performed in 2010, it found that it is not necessary to include large amounts of carbohydrates in post-workout nutrition since there are nutrient solutions that contain enough Essential amino acids and an adequate amount of carbohydrates to produce the maximum anabolic protein response.

Protein Intake Before and After Workout
A small 2017 study attempted to test the anabolic theory and the effect of consuming the same amount of protein before and after resistance training on muscle strength, hypertrophy, and body composition changes. There were 21 subjects of the study involved in the study. All were men that participated in resistance training with more than one year of experience. These subjects were all recruited from a university setting and were all given an equal dose of protein consumed immediately either before working out or post-training. All participants were natural athletes, meaning they had no history of anabolic steroid usage. The subjects of the study were all paired based on their strength in the squat and bench press exercises. The pairs were then put into two different control groups. One group consumed 25 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbohydrates before the workout and the other control group was given the same amount of protein and carbohydrates post-workout. The study consisted of a full-body routine that ran on three-week sessions on nonconsecutive days for ten weeks. The results of this study showed that the protein consumption before the workout and after the workout had shown similar effects on all the subjects studied.

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is a real time strategy video game stand-alone expansion pack to Company of Heroes. It was released on April 9, 2009.

Gameplay
Tales of Valor includes new units, additional maps and further multiplayer modes, such as 'Stonewall', where the player commands a small number of troops against waves of increasingly difficult enemies, and a feature called "direct-fire", where the player 'Points and shoots' (seen in Soldiers: Heroes of WWII, Faces of War and Men of War).

Rewards
The game offers special units as rewards for completing a campaign and can be used to replace certain deployable units in multiplayer games. For the Allies, the US faction receives the M18 Hellcat and T17 armored car, while players using the British faction gets the Kangaroo carrier and the Staghound (T17E1) armored car. Wehrmacht players can make use of the Schwimmwagen Type 166, the H39 Geschützwagen (a conversion of captured Hotchkiss H39 tanks into light self-propelled tank destroyers), and Voss' special Tiger I, while the Panzer Elite will receive the Schwimmwagen Type 139 and the Hotchkiss H35.

Plot
Company of Heroes: Tales Of Valor has three single-player episodes.

Tiger Ace —  This campaign is inspired by the historical exploits of Tiger ace SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann in Normandy. Set in Villers-Bocage, the narrative is a backstory of Kampfgruppe Lehr commander Major-General Maximillian Voss and Hauptmann Josef Schultz from the original. In the campaign, the two are members of a Tiger I tank crew as they penetrate the town. They are forced to abandon the tank when it was immobilized by an anti-tank gun and try to escape British forces in the area. The tank crew returns the following day in one of two new Tigers, spearheading a Panzergrenadier assault on the town. In the end, it is revealed that Voss was promoted to major-general and sent to Holland, setting the stage for the Opposing Fronts campaign. Schultz stayed in France and died during the defense of Autry.
Causeway — Follows a company of paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division as they try to secure the La Fiere causeway for other Allied forces to pass through the Normandy beaches. The campaign focuses on Sgt. Wilson and Sgt. Frank Craft. After the 82nd's airdrop goes badly, Wilson's Able Squad links up with Baker Squad and assemble paratroopers to send to the town of Cauqigny. After the two squads take Chef du Pont on the other side of the causeway, the paratroopers at Cauquigny fall back due to heavy German resistances. The airborne forces retake the town and Wilson is run down by a German tank. As the Army's tank units head south from the beaches, the airborne units, headed by Craft, engage the German forces. Able and Baker find and destroy the tank that killed Wilson as they assault a castle complex near the causeway. The ending cutscene reveals that Craft later participated in Operation Market Garden, where he dies in the successful defense of a bridge over the Meuse (Maas).
Falaise Pocket — The campaign features a mixed unit of Waffen-SS and Wehrmacht troops stationed in the town of Trun. Because of an artillery strike over nearby Chambois, the Germans figure that both towns must be held to allow the other units of the Seventh Army to escape the Falaise Pocket, resulting in several intense battles along the riverfront of Trun. The ending cutscene states that about 10,000 Germans were killed and 40,000 captured.

Operations
The expansion pack introduces three new multiplayer game modes:

Assault: Similar to Warcraft 3 mod Defense of the Ancients, with 3 members per team. They choose 7 "Heroes" each different in their Offensive, Defensive, and Support abilities. Ranging from a Pioneer/Engineer to Paratroopers/Recon, the goal of the game is to destroy the enemy's base, which requires the player to fight through three separate lines of defenses. Protected by mortar firing bunkers, these also act as the Player Respawn point. By destroying each bunker the player is able to progress closer towards the enemy headquarters. Once the gas tanks inside a base has been blown, the team that destroyed them wins and the game ends.
Stonewall: 4 players are the defenders of a small town, defending against 16 waves of enemy attacks. Allies players face waves of Axis attacks progressing from a small band of Volksgrenadier to the mighty Tiger tanks; Axis players defend against waves ranging from Riflemen to M26 Pershing tanks. There are always four critical buildings in the town: the Church, that automatically heals units next to it; the Garage that repairs all allies' vehicles; the bank that gives a boost in manpower; and finally the Manor that gives an increase in population cap. The 4 players must work together in order to defend the town, as the team in Relic designed it so.
Panzerkrieg (tank war): Similar to Assault, with the "Hero" units being replaced by tanks. The Axis Team can procure 3 tanks: the Hotchkiss, a small mobile tank hunter, the Panzer IV, the all-around tank, and the Panther tank, which specialize in head-on armor conflicts. The Allies have the M18 Hellcat, a mobile tank hunter, a Sherman tank that is meant to counter the Panzer IV, and the Churchill tank, which is the answer to the Panther.

Reception

The reception of Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor was mixed. Many reviewers were confused as to what the game had to offer. Most of the reviewers appeared to brand the game as average and gave it a rating of around 70%, citing that the game had some interesting features and game play modes, but only a short campaign and no new armies to command.

It was formed on 30 September 2008 by combining Combat Support Unit Richmond and Combat Support Unit Glenbrook. The two units were combined as part of reforms which aim to improve the efficiency of the RAAF's airbase services and improve the force's expeditionary support capability. 325ECSS provides support services at RAAF Base Richmond and RAAF Base Glenbrook with a contingency role of providing personnel for the Northern Expeditionary Combat Support Squadron.

On 1 July 2010 changes to the structure of the Combat Support Group resulted in the functions of 325ECSS being integrated with No. 22 (City of Sydney) Squadron at RAAF Richmond and 321ECSS being disbanded.

The Dattatreya night frog (Nyctibatrachus dattatreyaensis) is a species of frog in the family Nyctibatrachidae first described in the Shola forests around the Dattatreya Peeta in the Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka. It is still known only from this part of the Western Ghats, India.

Description
This species' head is wider than long; the skin on the dorsum is highly wrinkled with transverse corrugated folds -  three discontinuous longitudinal folds, one dorsolaterally and two laterally; the webbing on toes is medium (three-quarters of the length); two yellowish bands occur on the dorsolateral area, prominent from subadult to adult stage; femoral glands are present. N. dattatreyaensis is a medium-sized (about 40 mm) frog active during night. The thumb pad and femoral glands are prominent in mature males. The eyes are golden yellow with black rhomboidal pupils. The upper surface of the body is reddish-black to stone black, with two yellow lateral bands. In day time, the frog prefers to hide below small boulders and damp leaf litter along the slow-flowing streams of the Shola forests in the hill ranges.

Discovery
The frog was discovered in 2008 by scientists from Zoological Survey of India. It was named Nyctibatrachus dattatreyaensis, after the Dattatreya shrine in its habitat.

Distribution
Nyctibatrachus dattatreyaensis is only known only from Dattatreya Peeta in the Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, Kemmangundi, and Baba Budangiri. All these sites are located in the Chikkamagaluru district, Karnataka, India.

Conservation status and risks
The Chandra Drona Parvatha hill ranges are noted for medicinal herbs. Unauthorised collection of herbs is rampant. The area is under immense human pressure from ecotourism. The water source of the Manikyadhara Falls is endangered. Consequently, Nyctibatrachus dattatreyaensis is assessed as being "critically endangered".

The Sierra Madre Line was a Pacific Electric interurban route which ran  from the Pacific Electric Building in Los Angeles to Sierra Madre.

History

The line opened to Pasadena on March 1, 1904. Cars were run through on the Lamanda Park Line to Pasadena. The extension to Sierra Madre opened on New Year's Day 1906. On December 3, 1916 the routing through Downtown Los Angeles changed.

Shuttle service for evening trips between Sierra Madre and San Marino began by March 1, 1928 with passengers changing to Monrovia–Glendora Line trains to complete the trip. Starting March 1939 the rear car of some Glendora trains were disconnected to continue to Sierra Madre. This arrangement became the line's only direct Los Angeles service starting February 21, 1943, as all midday service became shuttles and only rush hour cars from Monrovia trains served the line.

Weekend and midday service was discontinued on June 11, 1948 and all trips became shuttles. A single morning outbound trip from Los Angeles was added after November 25, 1949. On October 8, 1950 service was virtually abandoned with a single daily round trip running between Sierra Madre and San Marino; this ended on December 28, 1950. Pacific Electric continued to operate the route with motor coaches after abandonment.

Route
The Sierra Madre Line branched north from the Monrovia–Glendora Line in San Marino and its two tracks ran between the dual roadways passing Lamanda Park Junction (Colorado Street and Sierra Madre Boulevard) where it met the local East Colorado Street Line. From this point, the line continued on single track in a northerly direction along a private right of way in the center of Sierra Madre Boulevard to Michillinda Avenue. There the tracks entered into the pavement of city streets and proceeded on Central Avenue (Sierra Madre Boulevard) to Baldwin Avenue in Sierra Madre where the station was located. It then continued north one and one-half blocks via Baldwin Avenue and turned easterly onto another private right of way (between Montecito Avenue and Highland Avenue) to the end of the line of Mountain Trail Avenue, where a small storage yard was located.
