A firm, tight butt is a beach body staple, and it’s not only attractive, it shows that you’re healthy as well. Glutes are one of the most important muscles to activate in the body and are particularly important for my guys following the Shredded Program to stay in peak condition week after week.

Glute activation burns A LOT of calories and tones you spectacularly. Add a regimen of glute activation exercises to your workout routine and see the results. You’ll become a better runner, jumper, bodybuilder and if you do yoga or Pilates, you’ll even improve your skills here too. Overall, glute activation is key to maximizing the effects of your work-out.

What is Glute Activation and Why is it Important?

Firstly, what is glute activation and why does it matter?

To strengthen your bum muscles, glute activation exercises require a series of warm-ups. Glutes are the biggest muscle in the body, so they play a huge role in how it functions. Glute muscles directly affect hip movement and hip extension—two of the most important things that control our movement.

Glute activation exercises not only improve hip movement and extension, but also your endurance, pulls, squats, jumps and sprints too—which is perfect for all you runners out there.

Glute Activation

Don’t make getting up and sitting down the only exercise that your glutes get. They’ll get groggy and stay out of shape. Poor glute activation is an extremely common problem and leads to a higher probability of injury when exercising, poor running form and lack of tone. They are ultimately less prepared to handle intense exercise and body-building. This isn’t good at all for your body or your mind.

When glutes are out of shape, they transfer stress to other muscle groups, which can definitely wear you out during your work-out session. So, bodybuilders take note!

Before heavy lifting, use glute activation to warm up and avoid injuries to allow for a greater performance. This is why I recommend my Shredded clients to activate glutes on legs and posterior chain days -- better performance, reduced injury.

The Best Glute Activation Exercises

Here are four of the most effective, yet straight forward glute activation exercises that you can do either at the gym or at home.

Glute Bridge

Check out the glute bridge—an easy, versatile move that can be used for activation and glute strength development.

Glute Bridge

So, what are you waiting for? Open up those hips!

You can do this exercise with your own body weight or even add some weights to make it more difficult. Remember—the power is in your glutes.

  • Make sure that your head and shoulders lay flat on your work-out mat.
  • Your arms should also lay flat to side.
  • Then, lift your hips using the power of your glutes.
  • Don’t hyperextend the lower back to get your hips up higher. Make your glutes do all the work. You want them to raise your hips by themselves, which will effectively tone your butt.
  • Hold the position for about 5 seconds.

For more intense activation, slow things down and hold the bridge for a few more seconds at the top.

Posterior Planks

The posterior plank is not only an amazing move for great glute activation, but it’s also a great stretch for your chest and hips too. This is a static stretch that you can do after any work-out. This move is a bit tougher than the glute bridge but have no fear—you definitely got this!

  • Begin the posterior plank seated on the ground with your legs out straight in front of you and your hands placed firmly on the ground behind your butt.
  • To do this exercise right, you need to be as stable as possible.
  • Make sure that your fingertips are pointing toward your butt or out to the side.
  • Try to hold it for as long as possible.

If you're inexperienced with this exercise, it’s normal to feel a bit tired after ten seconds or so. You may also feel a little pain in some areas because of how hard you’re working your lower back, glutes, obliques and hamstrings.

If you're feeling discomfort, try to relax and take deep breaths through the exercise. Focus on driving your strength through your hands and heels. This will help to raise your hips up off the ground toward the ceiling, keeping your legs straight as possible as you can when you bridge up.

However, if you’re a beginner, it’s okay to bend your legs a little to hold the bridge at the top.

  • Your head should be relaxed, and your body should form a nice straight line to achieve the correct form.
  • Hold the position for a few seconds and then lower back down and repeat.

Try to strive for the correct form, but if you’re a beginner just do your best. A perfect posterior plank takes practice to complete successfully.

Clams, or commonly known as "resistance band glute activation exercise",  do some of the best things for your body. They isolate the gluteus medius and work to prevent problems like hip injuries and lower back pain. Plus, they tone your glutes so that’s always great.

If you want a full-tonal workout, use a resistance band glute activation tool to make this exercise’s benefits go even further. The resistance band glute activation tool works your glutes from start to finish,

Strength training is an essential component of glute activation, so use resistance bands to get a full-body workout in the gym, or even from the comfort of your home.

  • To start, put the band either a bit below or above your knees, then lie on your side propped up on your forearm.
  • Next place your feet together, stacking them one on top of the other.
  • Bend your knees slightly, and then slowly lift the top knee open. Make sure you keep your feet together!

This may be difficult at first, since it’s easy to rock or rotate back and forth when you open that top leg up toward the ceiling. However, don’t give up! Focus your energy on squeezing the glutes to lift the top knee.

Monster Steps

Pretend your Big Foot in this glute exercise!

“Monster Steps” are not only fun, but also help you get a nice firm beach bum. In this exercise, place the resistance band glute activation tool around both legs for extra strength training. It’s better for beginners to put the resistance band glute activation tool high just below the knees.

For higher difficulty, put it around your ankles, or even your feet. Step out wide enough so your feet are between hip-width and shoulder-width apart. Then, take your first “monster step” forward and then out to the side with one foot. Next, do the same with the other.

Just make sure that you take HUGE steps—you can even imagine that you’re the Yeti if you have to. Sick of walking forward? Go backwards in the same manner to switch it up.

How to Perform A Glute Activation Test

Ready to test if your glutes are ready?

A glute activation test is important for both men and women. If you're about to go into some intense lifts, such as 1RM, 5x5 or the cluster sets training in SHREDDED, then glute activation is a must.

The first thing that you need for a glute activation test is a standard treatment table. Ask your trainer if one is available at your gym.

  • To start the glute activation process, lay flat at the end of the table with your knees flexed to 90 degrees.
  • When instructed by your trainer, you’ll perform a bilateral lower extremity bridge, which is essentially raising your hips, for a specific number of repetitions.

After the glute activation test, tell your trainer if you feel any muscle activity in your glutes or hamstrings.

Then, repeat the test again performing a single leg bridge with each lower extremity and tell your trainer if you feel the muscle activity once more.

If the glute activation test is felt in the hamstring, you may need to ramp up your glute activation exercises. This means that your gluteal muscles are performing sub-optimally and require additional training.

Glute Activation Summary

So now you know, the butt makes all the difference. It’s an area that most men and women want to work on for appearance, or for overall fitness and body-building. With glute activation exercises, you can literally change your bum for the better. Whether you want to make it look rounder, slimmer, or fuller, glute activation techniques make this all possible.

When you don’t fire up your glutes, you miss out on working the largest muscle group in your body and burning a ton of calories and fat! You’ll also be more susceptible to injuries when working out or bodybuilding, so do your glutes!

Glute activation is just one of the tips I have for my guys following Shredded. This provides a complete workout, nutrition and supplementation plan to build muscle and get ripped in under 12 weeks.

Glute activation exercises will make you stronger, fitter and sexier. So start activating those glutes today!

Study reveals effects of weak competition in energy market

An investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) into energy supplies discovered signs that competition in the supply of energy to consumers is not working well for all consumers.

The investigation also indicated that things are getting worse for customers. In particular:

  • Prices are rising faster than costs
  • Customer dissatisfaction is increasing
  • Switching rates are in decline

CMA said the recent growth of smaller suppliers however, is an encouraging development.

At January 2014, the smaller suppliers’ domestic market share was over 5% in electricity and gas, an increase of over 2 percentage points over a year, previously 4.

This shows that it is possible to enter these markets and compete with the six largest suppliers.

However, the market share of the small suppliers has remained low over the past decade.

CMA claims it is unclear that any single existing supplier will achieve sufficient scale in the near term to act as a disruptive constraint on the six largest suppliers across the market.

The investigation also found evidence of low levels of customer satisfaction.

Only 51–52% of customers said they were satisfied with their supplier, and customer complaints have increased by more than 50% since the beginning of 2011.

The survey evidence showed that in 2013, 43% of customers did not trust energy suppliers to be open and transparent in their dealings with consumers, an increase of 4 percentage points from the previous year.

CMA found that much of the rest of the market is characterised by weak competition.

Price rises by the six largest suppliers tend to be announced around the same time, and price differences between standard dual fuel tariffs are converging.

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: “It’s vital no stone is left unturned in establishing the truth behind our energy prices. In the meantime, Ofgem must continue its renewed, tougher approach to protecting consumers, and energy companies should make urgent changes to do more for their customers.

“We need to see radical reforms to Fix the Big Six that will inject more competition into the market and help rebuild trust by giving consumers confidence that the price they are paying is fair.”

Well presented, fully furnished Hydra real estate on 2 independent floors offering a lot of space and very flexible use either as a large permanent or holiday home or a combination of both for business investment, comprising:

Ground Floor

Ground Floor (190 m2):

  • Entrance hall
  • Shower room, utility & storage rooms
  • 2nd Shower room

Ground Floor

Located in the aristocratic area known as 'Kourmada', this property for sale was originally built in 1620 by Venetian craftsmen as part of a large estate comprising a number of grand buildings with arched walkways connecting them. Today many of the arches are still evident and give area a very distinctive identity. In the mid 1800's the estate was broken up and sold to different families and the first floor of this particular piece of real estate was completely remodelled in 1842. By the mid 1950's Hydra had been 'discovered' by the 'intelligencia' as well as the artistic and creative icons, such as Ghikas, the Johnstons & Cohen who launched the cultural scene on Hydra in the 1960's all of whom were guests at this house. The property was completely renovated and modernised in the last decade with impeccable adherence to maintaining the integral character and traditional style of this delightful house.

First Floor Entrance

Two homes in one - or to be combined

This two floor house for sale on Hydra is currently configured as two independent homes each with its own front door and separate outside space. It could be purchased as a combination of holiday home as well as an investment property if left in its current layout. Or, it could very easily have a staircase installed in the storage room at the back of the ground floor bathroom suite. The top of the stairs would come up in the landing between the bathroom and bedroom on the first floor.

Entrance Lobby Ground Floor

Ground Floor

The ground floor living space is larger than the first floor and features a split room off the entrance lobby. Entering the lobby from the street there is a small shower room and toilet to the right and a much larger suite of shower & utility rooms to the left. A lot of thought has been given to the 'useability' of the bathrooms of this property. The main ground floor bathroom is divided into a number of sections with a large shower area, hand basin with mirror and cupboards in the largest part of the room but with a closed off separate toilet, separate utility space and a large storage room each with a door. For families this is a big advantage.

Ground Floor Main Bathroom Suite
A small step through an arch from the lobby leads to a split living area. To the left of the arched dividing wall is a long sitting area with a bedroom at the far end and to the right is a dining area with the kitchen at the far end. From the dining area you pass right into another double living space with the second bedroom off it.
Ground Floor entrance sitting area with bedroom at end to left and glazed door to side terrace & garden
Ground Floor Dining Area through to Kitchen

The kitchen is an Italian design and is fully equipped with Smeg appliances.

Bedroom 1 Ground Floor

This is the larger of the two ground floor bedrooms. It is comfortably furnished with a large double bed and floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes. Even though there are four steps up to the room from the sitting area, the height of the ceiling is still high as the building follows the rise of the land. There is a window opening to the side terrace and across through a stone are to overlook the garden.

Looking from the kitchen, across the sitting area to the bedroom (with double doors)

Main Sitting Room - Ground Floor

This is a very large double space divided by a long, elegantly curved arch. There is a traditional open fire to one corner, the original traditional bread oven in the back wall and there is a freshwater cisterna under the room with the well head built into the traditional day beds along the front wall. There are doors to both the front dining terrace as well as to the side courtyard. The second ground floor bedroom opens of this sitting room.

Second Bedroom - Ground Floor

The second bedroom is the smaller of the two ground floor bedrooms but still sufficient for a double bed and wardrobe. The window over looks the street to the side of the property that approaches the front door.

Blue door to 2nd bedroom, brown door to dining area and kitchen
Steps down to 2nd bedroom

Ground Floor Outside Space

The outside space is arranged as four distinct areas with two pergola covered dining areas, an open courtyard and a well stocked garden featuring some of the original 1620's arches. The view is breath-taking and you can see across to the Peloponnese mainland. And of course it faces west so you are assured of spectacular sunset to enjoy.

First Floor

The first floor of the house is accessed from the street door off the lane that runs behind the property. Wide stone stairs arrive at a large 80 m2 sea facing entrance terrace.

The first floor is almost open plan although the structural walls and steps create a logical layout for different uses.

The Kitchen is to one corner, with an area for the dining room next to the kitchen through an arch. The sitting room is to the front corner so that it takes advantage of the views over the terrace to the sea as well as the fireplace creating a focal point. The bedroom is raised with steps up through another arch and again the window provides a spectacular view even if you are laying on the bed. And the bathroom suite is logically in the final back corner.

Kitchen & Bathroom Suite

As with the ground floor, the kitchen on the first floor is Italian, fully equipped with Smeg appliances.

The bathroom suite off a small hallway, comprises a toilet cubicle with door, laundry cubical with door and a large shower opposite the hand basin and mirror. There are plenty of fitted cupboards for storage.

First Floor Outside Space

As you will see from the photos, even in the depths of winter, the view from the first floor entrance terrace is magnificent. The terrace is furnished with dining table and chairs, sun loungers and seating pads for the platforms either side of the front door. There is an extendable awning which covers most of this terrace for shade during the heat of summer.

Panoramic views from the First Floor Entrance terrace even in December!

First Floor Roof Terrace

In addition to the main entrance terrace, wooden stairs to the side of the building provide access to the 105 m2 roof terrace. The views from here are spectacular and from every angle you have almost a birds-eye view of Hydra's town, villages, coastline, sea and mountains. It is quite a breath-taking place to sit and it is easy to appreciate why this house has been so loved by artists over the centuries.

360 degree views from the First Floor roof terrace.

In Summary

As you will have seen from the photographs this historical house has been lovingly maintained on a daily basis to a very high standard. The architectural integrity of the building is completely sound and in keeping with the original 1620 plans hence the flat roof (the pitched and tiled style of roof didn't come into practice until the mid 1700's). The interior walls are as wide as the external walls and provide excellent insulation keeping the building cool in the summer and retaining heat during the winder. Similarly the floor and cieling of the first floor is traditionally constructed so that they are almost a meter deep. Again, this helps with insulation for sound as well as temperature. Throughout you will see examples of beam and reed ceilings and cool flagstone flooring.

The house is being sold fully furnished with many antique pieces from Italy as well as Hydra. This Hydra house for sale is beautifully appointed and as such it is truly possible to move in tomorrow with just a suitcase of clothing so that you can start to appreciate your new Hydra home immediately.

Hypnotized | Hypnotic Mistresses

All articles tagged with "Hypnotized"

Princess Serena is a hot mistress. Besides her looks, she is also gifted at mind control. She knows how to brainwash guys and make them her bitches. She likes to financially humiliate them after she has hypnotized them. She does this because once they are hypnotized, they are at her mercy and she can get them to do anything that she wants them to do. And she chooses financial domination every time.

Princess Kitty loves to use her sneakers to trample and humiliate. But that is not what she did today. She wore them as sexy accessories to make her look great. She wanted to look great for this guy because she wanted to hypnotize him. She had learned the art of hypnosis and she used it on this guy. She then went ahead to financially dominate him after she had controlled his mind.

I look sexy in my pantyhose and I know you wish you could touch me. But that will have to wait. I use this to control your mind totally and put you in a zombie state

I wanted to hypnotize this slave. So I turned on my charm. I wore my sexy bra to show off my nice boobs and my thong to show off my spankable ass. With the slaves hooked, I had an easy time hypnotizing them and brainwashing them

Lady Nivia looks down on you because she knows she is about to give you a good brainfucking. Her shiny, tight black pants already have you hypnotized and you are ripe for brainwashing. She will enslave you when she guides you with her voice. You will be addicted to her and crave her domination. She uses temptation to put you under her total control and she will own you as long as she likes.

Goddess Celine has a charm that her slaves find hard to resist. she loves using tease and denial tactics on her slaves, hypnotising them with her dangerous brainwashing and total mind control so that they can do whatever she wants

Black thongs splits her juicy ass right down the middle. Miss Deeane pokes it out so you can get hypnotized by her perfect round ass. Don't you want to take a big bite out of that peach? She brings you in with the swing of her hips and make you completely hard and brainwashed from her porcelain skin beauty. That ass is a dangerous tease to anyone who stares at it too long.

Android: 25% Of Mobile Web

Android: 25% Of Mobile Web

The hits keep on coming!

Android has reached another major milestone today. Phandroid reports that Quantcast has just put up their new mobile web share numbers. Android saw its greatest gains since November of 2009, and is now up to a whopping 25% of the mobile Internet. That is a 17% jump from this time last year.

The iPhone's share is down to a still-commanding 56%. At this rate, it isn't hard to imagine Android catching up to iOS, if not eclipsing them, within the next year. Personally, I'd bet on a tie (or close to one) in September, and an Android victory somewhere around January 2012, if not winter 2011.

Free Hepatitis B screening in Ghana

Thursday, 14 August 2014

IAPO member Theobald Hepatitis B Foundation, along with partners, offered free hepatitis B screening and vaccination to hundreds of people at James Town – Mantse Abgona in Accra, Ghana, on 26 July 2014.

More than 500 people benefitted from the event. Three hundred people will also go for two additional injections at the Adabraka Ridge Hospital, free of charge, to complete the entire course.

Theobald Hepatitis B Foundation were joined by the Okyeame Kwame Foundation, MDS Lancet Laboratories and Roche and Ridge Hospital RPD.

Okyeame Kwame, a rapper, observed that youth turned out for the screening this year and expressed appreciation for the turnout.

“I am really glad to see most of the young people come for the screening. This is to say that the youth is giving attention to health and this also indicates that we are moving in the right direction as a people.”

He also told journalists that the charity screening and vaccination project is aimed at educating people about the disease and also helping curb it.

For his part, the president of the Theobald Hepatitis B Foundation, Mr. Theobald Owusu Ansah, called on the government to give much attention to Hepatitis B.

    The Case-Halstead Library Board held a grand opening ceremony for its new library on Aug. 16, 2014. The new library replaces the existing facility, which was located in a home on the same site that had been donated to the city in 1938. Poettker Construction Company was the construction manager and Arcturis was the architect for the project.

"It was a very congested site as we were building the new facility right next to the existing library," Cory Pritchard, project manager, said. "Our first task was to demolish one wing of the existing library and close it in so we could build just 15 feet away. It was a challenging site in terms of mobilizing contractor crews and equipment while keeping the existing library operational the entire time."

The library board tasked Poettker and Arcturis with making the building as energy efficient and maintenance free as possible throughout design. Therefore, in order to reduce energy bills and operational spending the facility is comprised of a spray cellulose exterior insulation within the cavity space of the exterior wall, an energy efficient HVAC system and glass tinting that helps reflect sunlight. The $3.8 million project was made possible through a State of Illinois Public Library Construction Act Grant and a donation by the Floral Ethel Maddox Trust.

The main lobby features a fireplace with furniture situated around it for visitors to sit down and read a book. Other features of the library include space for a children's and young adult area, community multi-purpose room, a conference room, a heritage room, offices and work areas for library staff, and two kitchenettes. The interior is comprised of cork flooring and lots of windows to provide natural lighting. Construction began last Fall and was completed by the end of July despite the unusually harsh winter weather conditions this past year, said Pritchard.

With the Case-Halstead Library project complete, Poettker Construction continues progress as the construction manager on more than $40 million worth of new construction and renovations including the new Wingate Elementary School in Belleville, Ill., and the new St. Kateri Tekakwitha Church in Ridgway, Ill., as well as the construction of the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) Hall of Fame at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Sparta, Ill.

[Representational image]Pixabay

A relatively small asteroid is supposed to whiz past our planet on Friday, March 2, and while it might appear like a tiny smidge of light flashing in a live webcast – the newfound celestial body is actually the size of a bus!

Known as 2018 DV1, the 23 feet (7 meters) wide) asteroid is all set to approach within 70,000 miles (113,000 kilometers) of Earth as it flies by, according to scientists associated with NASA's Asteroid Watch program – the asteroid tracking widget of which has made a note of its exact size.

A webcast with astrophysicist Gianluca Masi in Ceccano, Italy, will be held by The Virtual Telescope Project for this particular event. Certain views of the asteroid will also be featured on the webcast – all seen by a 16-inch (41 centimeters) robotic telescope at the Tenagra Observatories in Arizona.

The live webcast will be streamed on the Virtual Telescope website at 12:30 AM EST (-5:30 GMT)

Astronomers at Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona had first spotted the asteroid 2018 DV1 on Monday, February 26, using a telescope, as the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts updated.

But this upcoming asteroid whiz-by arrives right after another close asteroid encounter, by the 2018 DU which happened on Sunday, February 25. It had managed to get within 196,000 miles (315,000 km) of Earth during its journey.

Another asteroid, called 2017 VR12, is also being tracked by The Virtual Telescope Project, as its all scheduled for its own zoom past Earth on March 7. It will be nearly 870,000 miles (1.4 million km) from Earth at its closest point during the journey.

As shared by the Minor Planet Center, asteroid 2017 VR12 is 492 to 1,542 feet (150 to 470 m) wide. It is to be noted that this size compared with the distance it's going to be from Earth during its flyby, qualifies the object as a "potentially dangerous" asteroid.

But there's no reason to panic, as NASA classifies any near-Earth asteroid that is larger than 492-feet across in an orbit that approaches within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) as a potentially hazardous object.

Azealia Banks
Rapper Azealia Banks claims Russell Crowe tried to choke her during a dinner party John Sciulli/Getty Images for Nasty Gal

Azealia Banks has come forward claiming that Russell Crowe physically attacked her and verbally abused her at a dinner party in his hotel room. Guests, however, reported that it was the 25-year-old who made a scene and threatened to stab his guests.

According to TMZ, Crowe hosted a dinner at his room at a Beverly Hills hotel to which Banks was invited as rapper RZA's plus-one. However, she soon started to make fun of the actor's choice of music and called him and a guest, "boring white men". According to eyewitness accounts, a woman came to Crowe's defence but the rapper went off on a different tangent, threatening to cause a bloody attack.

Russell Crowe

"You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s***," she allegedly told those present before dropping a few 'n-bombs'.

However, when she went to grab her glass, Crowe took action and carried her out of the room before calling hotel security.

Banks gave a different account of the night, though. She posted a report of the events on Facebook, claiming that the 52-year-old attacked her. "To recap my night," she wrote, "I went to a party at Russell Crowe's suite, at which he called me a n****r, choked me, threw me out and spat at me.

"Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I've had in a long time. The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today," she added.

She later took down the post but wrote another one stating: "Just feel so low and mishandled and alone and f**king depressed right now. I wish I had someone to beat him up for me."

Chelsea host Brentford in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday (28 January) with the Blues set to make a host of changes to the squad that won comfortably against Hull City last weekend.

Where to Watch Live

Kick-off is set for 3pm GMT. The highlights of the game will be available on BBC One from 10:30pm GMT.

Asmir Begovic will start in goal for Chelsea amid growing speculation over his future. The stopper has been heavily linked with a move to Bournemouth but manager Antonio Conte wants an able replacement before sanctioning any deal for the former Stoke City man.

He is also set to hand first team starts to the likes of Nathan Ake, Michy Batshuayi and Cesc Fabregas, with the trio struggling to make their way into the first team for the Premier League. Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are likely to rested for the fixture, given the manager is set to prioritise the league over cup competitions, given they are currently eight points clear of their nearest challengers.

The Blues have a brilliant record at this stage pf the tournament and have been eliminated only twice in their last 20 appearances in the FA Cup fourth round. The Blues have won 15 of their last 16 games in the league, losing only to Tottenham since the turn of the year.

Antonio Conte

The 2012/13 competition, where they beat Chelsea, was the last time Brentford made it beyond round three of the FA Cup and haven't made the fifth round since 2005/06. The Championship club do not have any new injury concerns for the game at Stamford Bridge.

Striker Scott Hogan, who has been linked with a move to West Ham, is unlikely to be included in the squad.

What Managers Say

Antonio Conte: "For sure there is this Begovic situation. Bournemouth asked for him but he's Chelsea's player. Begovic will start. He is a Chelsea player and Begovic for me will stay. I understand all the players but i think that it's also important for the players to understand me and the club. Now it is difficult because clubs cannot sell you good players. We are open to replace him in the best way if there is an opportunity to replace him. If not he will stay with us until the rest of the season and then we will assess his situation in the right way." (via Express)

Dean Smith: "We know that it is going to be a tough game but it is one that we are looking forward to. We know the pool of talent that they have but we will be going all-out to win the game. You only have to look at who could play, like Willian and Michy Batshuayi who cost £65 million combined. The group of players that I have got are honest, hard-working and will look forward to the game. We are quite used to these sort of games: we played Newcastle United a couple of weeks ago and there are big clubs like Aston Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion, Derby County, and Sheffield Wednesday in the league. Every week it is a tough game and we are getting used to playing games like this. It is not going to be a shock although they have done a fantastic job this season." (via Brentford)

Betting Odds (betfair)

  • Chelsea win: 1.2
  • Draw: 7.5
  • Brentford win: 19

Possible XI: Begovic; Zouma, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta; Aina, Chalobah, Fabregas, Ake; Willian, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi

Possible XI: Bentley, Egan, Dean, Bjelland, Colin, McEachran, Woods, Yennaris, Field, Swayers, Vibe

China has flown a nuclear-capable bomber beyond its borders in what US officials say is a response to President-elect Donald Trump's phone call with Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen.

The Xian H-6 bomber flew along the disputed 'nine-dash line' around the South China Sea on 8 December. This marks the second time Beijing has flown bombers in the disputed area since Trump was elected president, US officials told Fox News. The officials said it was intended to send a message to Trump.

According to Military Today, "The H-6K is designed for long-range attacks and stand-off attacks. It is considered as a strategic bomber. It is capable of attacking US carrier battle groups and priority targets in Asia. This aircraft has nuclear strike capability."

The president-elect has voiced his criticism of China on Twitter, including what he has called "a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea."

The Pentagon was alerted to the Chinese long-range nuclear bomber on Friday (9 December). American intelligence satellites have seen China preparing to ship more advanced surface-to-air missiles to the contested islands in the South China Sea.

Trump's call with Taiwan's President Tsai ling-wen broke a protocol dating back many years after American leaders stopped communicating directly with Taiwan presidents in 1979. US officials called to reassure Beijing that the US still adheres to the One China policy, which does not recognise Taiwan as its own sovereign nation.

The Global Times, which has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party said: "We need to get better prepared militarily regarding the Taiwan question to ensure that those who advocate Taiwan's independence will be punished, and take precautions in case of US provocations in the South China Sea."

John Pilger in his latest film The Coming War on China, has warned of a major US military build-up over the past few years, including President Obama's 'pivot to Asia', where almost two-thirds of US naval forces would be transferred to Asia and the Pacific by 2020.

The filmmaker interviewed Amitai Etzioni, professor at George Washington University, who said that the US is "preparing for a war with China, a momentous decision that so far has failed to receive a thorough review from elected officials, namely the White House and Congress".

Chinese Yuan
A vendor holds Chinese Yuan notes at a market in Beijing (Reuters)

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said the Chinese yuan would become a freely-floated currency in the next few years, as the country is taking steps to link the currency's value to market forces.

Markus Rodlauer, the IMF's mission chief to China, said the country's changes in the valuation of its currency would help it transition "from a tightly managed system linked to the US dollar to one that is more open and more flexible and more responsive to market conditions."

The new mechanism for determining the central parity of the Renminbi introduced in the country is expected to allow the currency value to move as much as 10% a week and be close to a rate set by the market.

"We don't expect a free-floating system tomorrow. We expect some continued management. But we hope it will gradually lead to more flexibility and a float within two to three years," he said.

Rodlauer reiterated the fund's assessment that the yuan is no longer undervalued, despite the currency's fall in value by about 3% this week.

"What has happened now over the past few days does not change our assessment," he said.

China's central bank earlier devalued the yuan for three consecutive days, saying it was moving towards a system in which the currency rate would be determined by market forces. The yuan fell by 2.9% this week as a reaction to the central bank's move.

In its annual health check of the economy, the IMF said China was moving to a "new normal" of slower yet safer and more sustainable growth. The new normal involves giving the market a more decisive role in the economy.

The fund expects China's growth rate to be 6.8% in 2015, down from 7.4% in 2014.

"The challenge now is to take the next steps to a more open and market-based economy," said Rodlauer.

The IMF wants China to undertake bold structural reforms, such as moving to a more market-based financial system, improving the management of government finances, and levelling the playing field between state-owned enterprises and the private sector.

IGN Playlist: Werewolf Movies

Celebrate the arrival of The Wolfman with eight other werewolf classics.

Ever since Lon Chaney Jr. first donned the fur and makeup, werewolves have been a permanent fixture in Hollywood. Something about the idea of ordinary humans transforming into savage, bloodthirsty beasts captures the imagination. As the years have gone by, dozens of new werewolf films have come and gone, each doing their best to perfect the art of the transformation and bring something new to a familiar horror formula.

The latest in this long line is The Wolfman, a remake of the Universal classic starring Benicio Del Toro at his wolfish best. To celebrate the newest member of Hollywood's werewolf pantheon, we've devoted the newest IGN Playlist to our favorite werewolf movies of the last few decades. If you crave werewolf, these eight films will deliver all the hairy, gory goodness you could ask for.

If Wolf gets anything right, it's that it embraces the irony of casting Jack Nicholson as a werewolf. Mike Nichols' eager-to-please thriller never forgets to remind the audience that Jack is, well, "Jack". That turns out to be both the movie's curse and blessing. But the movie, written by Wesley Strick and author Jim Harrison, based on Harrison's excellent novella, wisely decides to hide the more macabre and soap opera elements behind the story of a put-upon book editor slowly becoming more of an Alpha Male as he transforms into a werewolf. What is even more novel is the fact that the movie never says the word "werewolf," despite spending 125 minutes circling the idea.

A still from As Good As It Gets.

Equal parts thriller and drama, with some great comic timing at the hands of the supporting cast, headlined by Frasier's David Hyde Pierce, Wolf is far from a perfect movie, but it is as good as above-average genre entertainment can get.

An American Werewolf in London

Though he is mostly known for his classic comedies (Animal House and Blues Brothers), director and writer John Landis brought us a truly special horror-comedy in 1981 that still holds up to this day. Winning multiple awards for the incredible make-up, An American Werewolf in London has gained a cult following due to its special effects, unforgiving horror story, and the-wink-and-a-nod comedy that goes with it all. In fact, the effects were so effective, that after viewing the film Michael Jackson commissioned Landis to write and direct a few music videos for him, including what is considered to be the best music video ever created: "Thriller."

"Not the face! Not the face!"

If you are too young to have seen this movie, we thoroughly suggest that you rent it ASAP to bolster your nerd cred. The story of the film follows two young Americans as they backpack across Europe. After getting stuck in and attempting to leave an off-the-grid region of England, the two get attacked by a giant werewolf. From this point on you will just have to see it to believe it, as Landis pulls no punches with the gore, making it tough sometimes to laugh at the dark comedy found within.

The Monster Squad

Don't let anyone tell you differently – Wolfman's got nards. That, along with never trusting your striptease-prone sister when she says she's a virgin, are just two truisms The Monster Squad delivers, in between all the PG-13 mayhem.

"Not the nards! Not the nards!"

Dracula has assembled the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Testes McLycan, Frankenstein and the Mummy to hunt down Van Helsing's diary, and a powerful amulet that can open a portal and let evil reign. The only thing standing in Vlad's way? Sean's "Stephen King Rules" T-Shirt, a crew of tween monster movie enthusiasts and Scary German Guy.

Nevermind that Drac would have had an easier time using his monsters to scare the world under his control than trying to hunt down a magical MacGuffin. And nevermind that Dracula secures a bitchin' ride and spread moments after being air-dropped by Richie April. The movie is full of awesome, nostalgic win. Drink it in.

Dog Soldiers

A team of British soldiers, on a training mission deep within the Scariest Woods Ever Made, become the prey of a pack of werewolves eager to get their redrum on. Now, with a bigger budget and better effects, this could have been the greatest action-horror ever made. Instead, it's one of the best midnight movies ever.

A very fuzzy stuntman terrorizes the Dog Soldiers.

Director Neil Marshall, who gave us The Descent, cut his teeth on this low-budget horror movie with solid emphasis on character and action. The special effects are very stuntman-in-a-suit, but the movie effectively borrows from Aliens and previous genre entries to give us a new take on an old monster.

This page contains analyses of the various Mass Effect 3 trailers. Please accompany any comments with a time stamp. Wild speculation is welcome!

EditFemale Shepard (02/10/2012)

Exit Theatre Mode

  • :15 - Captain Anderson talking about Shepard's past actions
  • :17 - The new Squad Member James Vega shows his face for a second.
  • :21 - The Scared Child from the E3 2011 trailer dies when the Reapers invade.
  • :21 - Shepard is talking about being grounded, and stripped of her title, which is a main Plot point of Mass Effect 3.
  • :24 - We see Shepard climbing a vertical wall in full armor -- a prime example of his/her strength and athleticism.
  • :26 - This shot features the so-called "Geth Dragons" from the other trailers. These are actually Harvesters, which have appeared in Mass Effect Books and in Mass Effect 2, briefly.
  • :28 - A missile just barely misses Shepard.
  • :29 - We see Shepard and an asari flying through a room. Note the oblivious salarian on his omni-tool (glitch?).
  • :37 - We see a large fleet of what looks like Alliance ships being led by the Normandy.Very similar to ME1 at the end of the game as the Alliance comes into battle via the relay.
  • :40 - This is the first glimpse of what Legion has been up to in this mysterious looking place. We can tell it's him because of the red stripe on his armor.
  • :42 - This is a shot of the Citadel Council on the Citadel. It looks like everyone is there including Ambassador Donnel Udina.
  • :44 - Multiple Asari are seen here. It appears that NPCs will assist with fighting alongside your squad for the first time in Mass Effect.
  • :45 - Jacob Taylor is shown in Mass Effect 3 for the first time. He looks exactly the same but he no longer is wearing the Cerberus logo on his outfit.
  • :45-On the far bottom right of the screen, you can see a glimps of the Cerberus logo.Could imply a mission into a Cerberus base with Jacob, or escaping one?
  • :46 - We see a ship landing here. It's the Cerberus Atlas mech we saw in an earlier trailer.
  • :47 - The ship crashing here is an A-61 Mantis Gunship. Introduced in Mass Effect 2, it can also be seen in the 2010 announcement trailer for Mass Effect 3 (with the attack on London).
  • :51-We see Female Shepard with Liara and possibly Kaiden watching as the Reapers invade Thessia(the Asari homeworld).
  • :56 - We get a good look of Kaiden Alenko in gameplay footage.
  • :57 - We see Female Shepard using a new and very large weapon (probably the M-76 Revenant Light Machine Gun)
  • :59 - We get a good shot here of a character that may be Kai Leng from the novels. It was confirmed that he would be in the games, but we have not seen him until now.
  • 1:01 -  Here Shepard is on a mysterious planet, the earth is crumbling and she is carrying two weapons on her back. As the M8 Avenger Assult Rifle falls we get a look at the M-76 Revenant Light Machine Gun and the M-98 Widow Anti-Material Rifle on her back.
  • 1:02 - We finally see Mass Effect 3's model for Miranda Lawson for the first time with Male Shepard and Liara. She is  using biotics to push an unidentified human male out of a window. This man may be Miranda's Father.
  • 1:05 - Here we see the Migrant Fleet of the Quarian race on flotilla ships attacking something. Some fans hypothesize that they're taking back their planet from the Geth, as we get a better shot of this same scene in the Integrated Storytelling trailer.
  • 1:08 - Captain David Anderson reinstates Shepard and throws her her dogtags, another main Plot point of Mass Effect 3.
  • 1:09 - We see a Harvester being blown to bits.
  • 1:10 - We see Samara from the second game. She is seen in her post-loyalty outfit; it seems other returning characters are in their original outfits.
  • 1:11 - Shepard stomps on one a Husk causing a bloody execution animation to play. This is some of the goriest content we've seen in a Mass Effect game.
  • 1:12 - This was seen in an earlier trailer, but in the background we can see a Thresher Maw attacking.
  • 1:13 - Shepard dodges a blast from a Reaper while holding a New Orbital Strike Weapon and finally she uses it to drop an orbital strike on the enemy. We also see the M-76 Revenant Light Machine Gun, the M-98 Widow Anti-Material Rifle, and the Arc Projector (heavy weapon) on her back.

EditRuthless and Intelligent Enemies (02/09/2012)

  • :10 - The character shown here is Kai Leng from the novels Mass Effect: Retribution and Mass Effect: Deception. This character was revealed in the May 2011 issue of Game Informer. This is confirmed from The Art of the Mass Effect Universe book. Here we see a Cerberus logo on the character and arms that seem to be enhanced.
  • :11 - An Engineer deploys a Sentry Turret
  • :18 - This shot shows a new enemy type Cerberus Guardians, who display shields.
  • :19 - For the first time we see what looks like a new, Reaper-infected Turian, similar to the Husks.
  • :20 - This is the Brute enemy, which is a Reaperized Krogan/Turian hybrid.  This has been confirmed by Bioware. It is not a Yahg.[1]
  • :23 - Here we see a Turian and a human who seem to be with the Alliance, the Turian throws a gernade killing a group of husks.
  • :25 - We see some Husks being blown up by a grenade here.
  • 25 - We see what looks like the Mako supporting ground troops
  • :26 - Here we see another mysterious Ninja character.  The armor looks slightly different than what we saw the sniper wearing, but that same logo is again on the arms of this character. The flying sac characters were seen in the first level of the original Mass Effect.
  • :29 - The Geth have returned and seem to be angry. They look a lot different than in the last games. Perhaps they've upgraded or they are new Geth that came with the Reapers.
  • :30 - This new enemy type appears to be a female Reaper-infected Asari Husk. This enemy is called a Banshee, and some new enemies with gas sacks below them that we've never seen before. There are also two new enemy types with her that look like variations of the Vorcha. A Reaperized-version of the Gas Bag creatures we saw in the original Mass Effect can be seen here.
  • :33 - A massive army of Cerberus agents is chasing after Female Shepard. Included in the group is the walking the Cerberus mech called the Atlas.
  • :36 - The enemy shown here is called an Cannibal, a husk made from batarians.
  • :37 - Again we see the Turian but also shown is a Brute husk, which may be a Reaper-infected Krogan.
  • :38 - The Geth return and are attacking Shepard.
  • :39 - The Harvester, a dragon-like creature from Mass Effect 2, appears here. They sent the Klixen into battle during Grunt's loyalty mission and on Tarith during an N7 mission, this Harvester looks to be a Reaperized Husk.
  • :40 - Reaper-infected Rachni husks are shown here, but they look like they've been combined with Gas Sacks.
  • :42 - Many Reaper-infected races are shown here. The Krogan is not Wrex, because this is an enemy trailer, and he has no scar. It also is not Grunt as he does not have the same hue or face shape as Grunt. The Krogan does resemble Urdnot Wreav, who is Wrex's brother and takes over if Wrex is killed in Mass Effect.
  • :43 - The Krogen that is being chased by the Rachni has a Cerberus logo Shotgun seen when pulling off the still unknown bug.
  • :43 - The unknown bug could be an infected and modified Rachni worker or Space Beetle.

EditAdrenaline-Pumping Gameplay (02/09/2012)

  • :9 - This is a shot of the Origin pre-order exclusive gun, the AT-12 Raider.
  • :12 - We see Shepard at the Prothean site on Mars.
  • :14 - An on-rails gunship scene - a first for the Mass Effect series.
  • :17 - This enemy is called a Brute.
  • :18- You can see a Biotic Charge in action here, but it seems greater distances can be traveled
  • 19 - Head-popping scene. Gory body deformation on organics is new to the Mass Effect series. Husks were able to be blown in half in Mass Effect 2.
  • :20 - Different types of grenades are shown here. the names of the grenade types have not been revealed.
  • :25 - shepard rolling through cover holdin a sniper rifle with a heavy ressemblance to the M-98 Widow
  •  :30 - We see Shepard avoiding Reaper fire during the mission on Tuchanka, holding the M-300 claymore.
  • :31 - This appears to be another view of the fight between the Husk version of the Harvester enemy and a gunship.
  • :33 - Shepard directly (or at least somewhat directly) battles a land-based Reaper.
  • :34 - This shot confirms the return of the M-451 Firestorm.
  • :36 - The Adept's Melee attack.
  • :38 - We get a good look at the new N7 Defender Armor and N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle available from Gamestop preorders.
    40- we see an enemey that is the same race as the shadow broker, a yahg, going after shepard

EditIntegrated Story Telling (02/09/2012)

  • :13 - We see a child for the first time in the series in Mass Effect 3.
  • :17 - David Anderson is in Alliance military/combat gear along with troops of various races.
  • :19 - This is a new, unnamed insect-type enemy.
  • :21 - We see the Alliance fleet attacking a large number of Reapers.
  • :24 - A quick glimpse of the Quarian Migrant Fleet attacking the Geth, possibly an attempt to take back their homeworld. This may be a major Plot point in Mass Effect 3.
  • :25 - This scene may indicate real-time battle scars.
  • :26 - A large scale battle between what looks like Alliance ships against the Reapers.
  • :32 - Here Ashley Williams is shown aboard the Normandy along with unidentified Alliance soldier (Vega in standard armor?), possibly on Earth during the initial attack.
  • :37 - Is this Conrad Verner or Captain Bailey (C-Sec captain from Mass Effect)?
  • :40 - This is the first game where Shepard is thrown into a firefight without armor. Can probably only carry one weapon during this segment. Other armor advantages, like kinetic bariers and stat percentage increases, are most likely absent during this segment as well.
  • :48 - This is an attack on the Human Defense Committee ;at the beginning of the game, probably after they've grilled Sheperd over his past actions.
  • :56 - This is a different Biotic Barrier, similar to the one used in part of the Suicide Mission in Mass Effect 2.
  • 1:01 - The mission seems to take place on the Asari homeworld of Thessia. This also shows Asari in more of an organized manner than in Mass Effect 1 and 2, where any Asari encountered were mercenaries, commandos, or Matriarch Benezia.
  • 1:05 - The conversation selection wheel is the same with paragon choices on top and renegade on the bottom. The only change is the color scheme,which is now blue to match the Alliance just like ME1.
  • 1:38 - Turian Husks and Rachni/Sack Husks.

EditBuild a Customizable Arsenal Trailer (02/09/2012)

  • :13 - Picking weapons off dead bodies is a new feature in Mass Effect 3.
  • :13 - Shepard picks up an M8 avenger which appeared in Mass Effect 2, but if you look closely the gun which had a scope on top in Mass Effect 2 no longer has one, which suggest you must now attach it at a workbench.
  • :17 - Many types of armor return from previous games: Including the Inferno Armor from Mass Effect 2, the Terminus Armor, the Collector Armor, and the classic N7 Armor and it's customization options. Choosing colors for armor is more user-friendly, as users will be able to see colors before applying them, compared to Mass Effect 2. At the same time, color customization is more varied than Mass Effect 2, with a greater amount of colors being used on one set of armor.
  • :23 - This is the Kingdoms of Amalur Crossover Content Reckoner Knight Armor
  • :29 - Several returning weapons are shown here: The M-15 Vindicator battle rifle and the M-76 Revenant Light Machine Gun.
  • :36 - There will be a workbench-style upgrade system on the Normandy.
  • :38 - These are the new weapon loadouts for the Campaign. This will also be available in Multiplayer. We also see a weight readout for the weapon, another first for the Mass Effect series -- the weight of equipment has a minor affect on recharge speed.
  • :44 - High caliber barrel attachment applied to a pistol showing stat changes and description. Also of note is the remade Paragon/Renegade meter, with only one being used compared to Mass Effect 1 and 2.
  • :45 - This is how the new upgrade system works with weapons.
  • :48 - All of the character classes are revealed including the Adept, Soldier, Engineer, Sentinel, Infiltrator, and Vanguard. We also see different Races being assigned and unlockable to each class.
  • :50 - The customization options are shown for multiplayer.

    Ad -hoc Announcement Vienna , 29 March 201 8
    IMMOFINANZ : Correction to a m edi a arti cle with comments on an audit report
    by the Austrian Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (AFREP )
    A recent media report published on www. trend.at (“Signa Immobilien: René Benkos beinharter
    Machtkampf“) includes a reference to an apparent “report by the Austrian Financial Reporting
    Enforcement Panel (AFREP) to the Austrian Finan cial M ark et Authority on problems with Immofinanz ’s
    financial statements “. In the following, IMMOFINANZ would like to correctly state the relevant facts :
    The comments in the article do not correctly reflect the specifics of the audit report issued by the AFREP
    at the end of De cember 2017 . The correct fact is that the AFREP carried out a routine review in 2017 .
    According to the viewpoint of the AFREP, the shares in CA Immobilien Anlagen AG should have been
    accounted for thr ough full consolidation instead of at equity in the half -year financial statements as of
    31 October 2016 . Full consolidation would have had positive effects on the assets as well as the earnings
    of the IMMOFINANZ Gr oup. In contrast to the opinion of the AFREP and supported by the opinions of
    external experts, IMMOFINANZ believes the applied accounting treatment complies in full with the
    applicable rules . IMMOFINANZ has therefore stated that it does not agree with this conclusion . The
    results of the AFREP audit are currently under review by the Austrian Financial Market Authority .
    IMMOFINANZ is a commercial real estate group whose activities are focused on the retail and office segments of seven core mar kets in Europe:
    Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Poland. The core business covers the management an d development of
    properties, whereby the STOP SHOP (retail), VIVO! (retail) and myhive (office) brands represent strong focal points that stan d for quality and
    service. The real estate portfolio has a value of approx. EUR 4.2 billion and covers more than 2 50 properties. IMMOFINANZ is listed on the stock
    exchanges in Vienna (leading ATX index) and Warsaw. Further information under : http://www.immofinanz.com

Comic gem!
18 February 2004 | by Tyler_Durden87See all my reviews

Some of you may have heard of Kishon. You may have even read a book or two of his... Well, this guy is like Cocteau, he wrote books, plays, articles, scripts and he directed his them. Ervinka is actually a compilation of many stories centering on the character of Ervinka, a young bum who lives in Tel-Aviv and does one heck of a scrounging job that could make James Garner character in The Great Escape wish he'd have known some more about the profession. Ervinka hangs with his friends all day and makes his living by ripping of people. He then falls in love with Ruti, the cop, and in order to win her heart he gets in constant brawls with the law. Ervinka and his friend decide to rob the lottery house, and... bla bla bla... The plot here is so redundant that it's laughable. This movie is all about the dialogue and the acting... It's a fun movie to watch, and at times is funny in a level that brings tears to your eyes. For those of you who like the Israeli version of camp movies ("Burekas films") this is a must watch. This movie transforms the genre into a real form of art, with great use of camera, direction, acting and dialogue. Pure fun!

Really great comedy
14 April 2002 | by andre_albrechtSee all my reviews

This movie is one of the best German comedies I've ever seen. It was fantastic to see a comedy that was so different from the actual teen comedies. I think the director is a big fan of Kevin Smith because of all the funny dialogues and also his German version of Jay + Silent Bob. When I first saw this two guys on screen I just couldn't stop laughing. I can't wait for the DVD to come out in July. If you have the possibility to watch this movie than go see it!!!
