Resumption of sport and recreation activities

A statement from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) about the resumption of sporting and recreational activity in Australia.

Resumption of sport and recreation activities can contribute many health, economic, social and cultural benefits to Australian society emerging from the COVID-19 environment.

Resumption of sport and recreation activities should not compromise the health of individuals or the community.

Resumption of sport and recreation activities will be based on objective health information to ensure they are conducted safely and do not risk increased COVID-19 local transmission rates.

All decisions about resumption of sport and recreation activities must take place with careful reference to these National Principles following close consultation with Federal, State/Territory and/or Local Public Health Authorities, as relevant.

The AIS ‘Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment’ is adopted as the guide for the reintroduction of sport and recreation in Australia, including high performance sport.  The AIS Framework incorporates consideration of the differences between contact and non-contact sport and indoor and outdoor activity. Whilst the three phases A, B and C of the AIS Framework provide a general guide, individual jurisdictions may provide guidance on the timing of introduction of various levels of sport participation with regard to local epidemiology, risk mitigation strategies and public health capacity.

International evidence to date is suggestive that outdoor activities are a lower risk setting for COVID-19 transmission. There are no good data on risks of indoor sporting activity but, at this time, the risk is assumed to be greater than for outdoor sporting activity, even with similar mitigation steps taken.

All individuals who participate in, and contribute to, sport and recreation will be considered in resumption plans, including those at the high performance/professional level, those at the community competitive level, and those who wish to enjoy passive (non-contact) individual sports and recreation.

Resumption of community sport and recreation activity should take place in a staged fashion with an initial phase of small group (<10) activities in a non-contact fashion, prior to moving on to a subsequent phase of large group (>10) activities including full contact training/competition in sport. Individual jurisdictions will determine progression through these phases, taking account of local epidemiology, risk mitigation strategies and public health capability.

  • The resumption of children’s outdoor sport with strict physical distancing measures for non-sporting attendees such as parents.

  • The resumption of outdoor recreational activities including (but not limited to) outdoor-based personal training and boot camps, golf, fishing, bush-walking, swimming, etc.

Significantly enhanced risk mitigation (including avoidance and physical distancing) must be applied to all indoor activities associated with outdoor sporting codes (e.g. club rooms, training facilities, gymnast and the like).

For high performance and professional sporting organisations, the regime underpinned in the AIS Framework is considered a minimum baseline standard required to be met before the resumption of training and match play, noting most sports and participants are currently operating at level A of the AIS framework.

If sporting and recreational organisations are seeking specific exemptions in order to recommence activity, particularly with regard to competitions, they are required to engage with, and where necessary seek approvals from, the respective State/Territory and/or Local Public Health Authorities regarding additional measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread.

At all times sport and recreation organisations must respond to the directives of Public Health Authorities. Localized outbreaks may require sporting organisations to again restrict activity and those organisations must be ready to respond accordingly. The detection of a positive COVID-19 case in a sporting or recreation club or organisation will result in a standard public health response, which could include quarantine of a whole team or large group, and close contacts, for the required period.

The risks associated with large gatherings are such that, for the foreseeable future, elite sports, if recommenced, should do so in a spectator-free environment with the minimum support staff available to support the competition. Community sport and recreation activities should limit those present to the minimum required to support the participants (e.g. one parent or carer per child if necessary).

The sporting environment (training and competition venues) should be assessed to ensure precautions are taken to minimize risk to those participating in sport and those attending sporting events as spectators (where and when permissible).

The safety and well-being of the Australian community will be the priority in any further and specific decisions about the resumption of sport, which will be considered by the COVID-19 Sports and Health Committee.

Is Kissing Cheating?

Most people would say yes, duh. Unequivocally. But, as with most things, it’s maybe not that simple.
Image may contain Modern Art and Art
Illustration by Tara Jacoby

When I first posted this question on Twitter, I got a deluge of disclaimer-y responses from women: “A peck on the cheek is OK, but if mouths and saliva are involved, it’s dodgy.” “If you wouldn’t do it with Grandma, then yes.”

So that’s good news, right? If you plant one on Great Aunt Rena at the next family bar mitzvah, your girlfriend won’t key your car? (Granted, the fact that its okayness had to be stated somewhat implies that if you kiss a Megan Fox lookalike at an afterparty, murder/suicide is on the table.) The gendered responses I got are backed up by a poll by YouGov, which found that while 60 percent of men feel that kissing someone other than your partner is okay, only 34 percent of women agree.

That’s not to say we all don’t fuck up occasionally. Liz, 26, had been married for three years when she, her husband, and some friends drank their way through nine innings of a major-league baseball game. They hit some bars afterward, and Liz—whose husband doesn’t dance—ended up dancing with a girlfriend. “I woke up with hazy recollections of dancing with and kissing a guy, my friend pulling me away to the bathroom, and also puking on the side of the road on the way home.”

But there’s some necessary context, says Liz: “This incident came a couple of weeks after my husband confessed to sleeping with a mutual friend before we were married, [and] I think a petty and also very drunk part of me thought it was okay because it made us even.” Still: “[If I were sober] I would never have made the choice to hurt him like that.” They worked it out. But if it had been more than kissing, Liz said, they would have needed external help to move on, like a counselor.

This is understandable, considering even the word adultery signifies way more grown-up activities than kissing. Like a husband getting a Pavlovian boner under the table whenever he hears the phrase “business trip to Tulsa,” or a Real Housewife lookalike and her personal trainer, for some married people, the rule seems to be that it’s not cheating if you don’t need a room at the Hyatt Regency to do it.

But for unmarried, monogamous couples in their twenties and thirties, it’s somewhat less clear. There are no financial or familial obstacles holding you together. You could marry or split up on any given day, and it would be a clean break, at least on paper.

“I think there should be a little room for honest whoopsies in relationships,” says Sam, 27, whose longtime girlfriend, Kelsey*, kissed their best guy friend. “She came to me two days later, very apologetic and open about the fact that they were drunk and that it didn’t mean much more than that. We talked, and it was fine and we moved on.”

*Some names have been changed.

“I don’t think a lot of guys think kissing is cheating,” says Olivia, 27, whose boyfriend copped to kissing a rando “without thinking” six months into their relationship. “Our relationship means so much more than a kiss in a club, so I had to weigh whether it was worth breaking up over.” They worked it out, but if it had been more than kissing, she says she couldn’t have forgiven him.

“There’s a complicated exchange of information when we kiss,” says Gordon Gallup, psychology professor at SUNY Albany with an expertise in reproductive competition and the biology of interpersonal attraction. When you kiss someone, various biological mechanisms kick in that determine whether or not you’d be a good genetic match. “The majority of both men and women have experienced an attraction to someone, only to discover that after they kissed, they’re no longer interested.”

Hence, funny enough, Gallup winds up making the same distinction as the girls on Twitter. If it’s one quick kiss, that means the match failed on one or both ends—no harm, no foul. But if it progresses to full makeout, that means the first evolutionary hurdle is overcome—which begets multiple makeouts, which then begets the Hyatt Regency—and then it becomes a different story.

I tell him why this seems to me like such a silly distinction to make: Even if the match fails, it still indicates a certain level of dissatisfaction. Or a selfish disregard of the partner’s feelings. Or maybe it’s even a passive-aggressive way to get you to break up with the other person without truly crossing over into the dark side (i.e. full-on fucking someone else). The intentions are there, so doesn’t it count?

“I think there should be a little room for honest whoopsies in relationships.”

Not from an evolutionary perspective, he argues. In his field of study, infidelity is defined by reproductive cost. For example, if a female with a child is abandoned by a man in favor of a different mate, then she’s actually lost something (him). And if a male provides for a female who’s having sex with other males—or even unknowingly provides for another male’s child—he’s losing food and resources without the benefit of reproducing.

Sam (the guy whose girlfriend kissed her friend) unknowingly echoes this: “If everything’s so concrete and strict, then you’ll never learn what the gray areas look like once the stakes are raised toward marriage and kids.” Maybe that 60 percent of permissive men are thinking more along Gallup’s evolutionary scale and less from an emotional perspective.

Of course, thinking, breathing humans are more complicated than the calculus of our reproductive organs. Younger folks, it’s worth noting, are more likely to consider kissing cheating, according to that YouGov poll, and Gallup has found that more people—women in particular—remember their first kiss more clearly than their first sexual experience. But by our late twenties, most of us have traded in starry-eyed romanticism for pragmatism. We can understand that cheating, like most things, is relative. (By this logic, it’s no wonder old people are banging so much. Imagine the nihilism that kicks in once you’ve started using Brown Betty for the Hair Down There.)

Part of the reason for this, Gallup suggests, is that ending the relationship over one kiss doesn’t necessarily serve you from an evolutionary standpoint. To put it less politely, you ain’t getting any younger. So you let shit slide. And it’s true: As a 29-year-old woman, I would feel juvenile ending things with my boyfriend of more than two years just because he kissed someone else. This whole time, I thought it was just the mature adult in me, but it’s actually just the ape.

Unless he made out with his ex. In which case, boy, bye.

Public Land: Finding Room to Roam

It might sound old school, but maps — paper, online and mobile apps — are great tools for helping to decipher exactly where you are in relation to where you were and where you want to be.

Public Land: Finding Room to Roam

Great public land predator hunting might be just a phone call or mouse click away.

Public land holdings where coyotes are abundant can be found throughout the United States, in the form of BLM, Fish & Wildlife and U.S. Forest Service land; state and national forests; WMAs, Federal grasslands and more. Much of this treasure trove of public land is open to hunting, and much of it is abandoned once big game, waterfowl and upland game seasons are over. As an example, more than 80 percent of all land in Arizona is publicly owned, and much of it is open to coyote hunting. The BLM alone administers 12.2 million surface acres of public lands in Arizona, open to hunting unless otherwise designated. Here’s another. The grasslands of North and South Dakota are inundated by upland bird hunters each fall, but are largely vacant once these seasons expire. This opens huge tracts of land to predator hunters who aren’t afraid to get out and do a little hiking. In the East and the South, lands managed by the National Forest Service and state WMAs provide a good starting point for accessing large tracts of public land.

Here are a few notable options.

Bureau of Land Management … While it’s true that the majority of the land the BLM manages is west of the Missouri River, this agency controls land throughout most of the United States and publishes maps for most of its holdings. —

U.S. Forest Service … The Forest Service publishes a variety of map products, many of which can be downloaded as PDFs. Interactive online maps are also available, as well as hard copy topo maps. —

Public Lands Information Center … This is a searchable database of publicly held land throughout the West. —

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service … This agency controls lands open to public hunting throughout the United States. Hunting information and maps are available on its website. —

Wildlife Management Areas … Contact state wildlife management agencies for information and maps. —

"As an avid fan of anything Earl Grey, having a decaf version is a must. While it can be enjoyed at any time, I usually make this tea at night. It means I can make London Fogs in the evening and still get to sleep! I like to do a three minute steep, and then add some milk and sweetener to it. I don't find it tastes much different from a regular Cream Earl Grey, which is a plus! This is also a great tea for anyone who prefers to steer clear of caffeine but enjoys black tea." - Claire, teatender 2020-present

Working Safety Switch

Think about how many electrical appliances you have in your home that are almost permanently plugged into an outlet in your wall. Your home entertainment system, such as your stereo and television; your lighting; computer; phone charger; kitchen appliances, the list is endless. Did you know that in less than seconds these appliances can be destroyed if they aren’t protected when a power surge strikes? Did you even know that you could protect them? Surge Protection Devices/Surge Protectors (SPDs) are relatively cheap and easy to have installed, and they can save you a lot of money in the long run.

What is a power spike/surge?

Power spikes or power surges are increases in your home’s electrical current and occur when the voltage is boosted and suddenly increases. A power spike is a short increase in voltage, acting over a small amount of time and generally causes minimal damage. A power surge, however, is a much larger influx that lasts longer and can be much more detrimental.

The most common cause of power spikes/surges are impacts on the electrical grid near your home or office, such as downed power lines or transformers. When this happens the large amount of electricity that has suddenly been disrupted needs somewhere to go, and is therefore thrust into the power lines on the street and into your home or office.

While your devices may not want to accept this influx of energy, the current is so powerful that they have no choice. If your devices are not protected at this time, the increase of energy can be too much for your appliances and they can be destroyed. This can end up being a safety hazard and a large expense on your behalf.

Lightning storms are also a cause of power surges, however during this time you should not rely solely on your surge protectors. With the influx during this time being so large, the only guaranteed way to protect your appliances during a lightning storm is to unplug them from the wall directly.

How do surge protectors help?

There are a number of methods that surge protectors use to protect your appliances. No matter what method they use though, the general idea is the same. All surge protectors keep the voltage levels flowing to your appliances below the safety threshold.

The most common method of doing this is by absorbing a large portion of the over-voltage and diverting the rest back to earth. This way your appliances only receive the same amount of energy that they always have.

It is important to understand that not all surge protectors are the same. There are different classes of surge protectors to defend your appliances from different forms of current impulses.

Class 1

These surge protectors are suitable in high risk areas that have a high probability of direct lightning strikes and are to be used in conjunction with lightning rods. They employ the ‘spark gap’ method and are perfect for buildings that require a larger amount of protection. Buildings such as petrol stations, hospitals, banks, tc should all have a class 1 SPD installed.

Class 2

This is the most common and inexpensive form of power surge defence. These surge protectors can prevent the spread of over-voltage in the electrical installations and protect the equipment connected to it, such as home appliances and power tools. This is the one that home owners should be looking to have installed as a first line of defence against power surges that occur through downed power lines or transformers in the street. Just like class 1 SPDs, these are also installed in the main switchboard in your home.

Class 3

Class 3 surge protectors have a low discharge capacity and therefore must be installed as an addition to a class 2 SPD. They are to be installed at the terminal, as close as possible to the appliance being protected.

Examples of surge protectors that may be used in your home.

The Fine Print

Always ensure that when having surge protectors installed that you always read the fine print. Some companies will offer warranties on your appliances if they are damaged whilst connected to their surge protectors. However, these warranties aren’t always applicable and may be voided for many reasons.

The Bottom Line

To summarise, a Class 1 SPD is to be used at the origin of the installation, a Class 2 SPD is to be installed at the switchboard, and a Class 3 SPD is to be used near the terminal equipment.

The bottom line is that purchasing a Surge Protection Device is never a bad idea. If your home doesn’t have one, the damage that can be caused to your appliances and yourself can be extensive. Home and business owners should be putting every practice into place to ensure that their appliances and buildings are protected from excessive currents and further damage.

Three Things to Know About Kickboxing

Kickboxing is a popular form of competitive fighting, but it really encompasses many different combat disciplines. Read on to learn more about this martial arts—and fitness—mainstay.

1. Kickboxing is many disciplines in one, incorporating moves and techniques from many martial arts. Punches, kicks, elbows, clinches, and takedowns are all fair game. As such, styles can vary widely among martial-arts purists, boxers, and fighters who work to cultivate a unique approach.

2. Its versatility translates well to fitness. Kickboxing balances upper- and lower-body flexibility with cardiovascular exercise, making for an effective full-body workout. Practitioners also get the benefit of learning self-defense techniques, getting a leg up on their peers who only know how to chuck a treadmill at an attacker.

3. It’s not that old. Kickboxing is quite popular in Thailand, which is also home to Muay Thai—a form of boxing, practiced as a regulated sport since the late 19th century, in which fighters don gloves and other pads. In 1966, a Japanese karate promoter became infatuated with Muay Thai—and particularly the full-contact striking that’s not allowed in karate—and saw an opportunity to blend the styles. He prepared three karate fighters to take on Muay Thai specialists, and the competition was fierce enough to inspire the birth, a few years later, of kickboxing as an organized sport.

Zac Tiessen: What's on My Playlist

(Image credit: Josh Tiessen)

1. “The New Eternity”—Silent Planet

Poetic lyricism (paired with crushing riffs) makes this a certified banger from metalcore’s new elite. Beware the lead synth/guitar hook, which can get stuck in your head for days!

2. Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”—Dvorak

I grew up listening to this as a kid in Russia, where orchestras accompanied everything. I delight in dissecting the chord progressions.

3. “Gorillas” (from Rampage)—Andrew Lockington

My relatives (the Hayes Brothers, who made The Conjuring 1 & 2) put me in touch with Lockington. It was so cool to have him show me the process behind this track.

4. “Dark Night”—(from Detroit: Become Human) Philip Sheppard

Sheppard’s theme for Kara is a beautiful yet simple melody — a fitting onomatopoeia of the character’s name. I love the gritty tension.

5. “You Say”—Lauren Daigle

This anthem speaks to the core of our insecurities as humans, which as a musician I can relate to. Luscious vocals and effective arrangement make this song the hit that it is.

*Another* Gun Control Op-ed

I do say, they must grow on trees lately. A Google News search for “gun control” popped up this Op-ed piece by Mike Fox, for the Bristol Herald Courier.

I don’t often do this; but I’m so very tired of people writing these things without doing any research.

I AM not “politicizing” the Tech tragedy by wanting to discuss gun control. Once the facts of the shootings became known, lawmakers across the nation immediately re-evaluated mental health treatment and college safety protocol as well as background check procedures. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine closed a loophole in background check data-mining regarding mental illness disqualifications, and Congress is currently reviewing a bill that would help all states do the same.

Well, you kind of are politicizing the tragedy, actually. Since you used it as your launch point for this article anyway. However, I agree that Gov. Kaine did the right thing in regards to the VA background check system, and I also feel like states should be required to report involuntary commitments of persons to the NICS.

Besides revamping the background check system, the federal assault weapons ban needs to be reinstated. No hunter could possibly need an Uzi, AK-47 or AR-15, and they’re gratuitous for home protection.

A quick fact check would prove otherwise. Fully automatic Uzi’s, AK-47s, and AR-15s have been illegal to the general populace for quite some time; in fact no machine gun manufactured after 1986 can be sold to a civilian. The only “Uzis” out there for you and I are semi-automatic carbines, generally chambered for 9mm. 9mm is one of the most common cartridges in America used for self defense, to use it in a carbine that functions no differently than a pistol seems pretty reasonable for home defense.

As to the AK47 and the AR15 being used for hunting, the AK47 fires a cartridge which is ballistically quite similar to one of the most venerated deer cartridges in the world, the .30-30. The AR is one of the most popular rifles being used for varmint hunting, as it’s inherent accuracy and adaptability lend itself nicely to a variety of platforms and cartridges.

Also, President Bush should sign into law a bill which would allow the U.S. attorney general to deny a gun purchase to anyone on a terror suspect watch list. Virginia limits purchasers to one gun per month, but a three- to five-day waiting period should also be enacted, as well as finally requiring background checks at gun shows for unlicensed venders.

I think that most people, when they look at that bill would realize that’s it not a good thing. The “terror suspect list” is a list of suspects, which means that they haven’t been arrested, or put on trial. Additionally, the list is secret (for good reason), but that means that anyone could be on it. I can’t support any legislation that could easily deprive a citizen of their rights without due process.

As to waiting periods – that’s always something that gets trotted out, and I can’t really figure out why. A waiting period certainly wouldn’t have stopped the VA Tech shooter. Until someone can present a valid reason why waiting periods would work to prevent crime, I’m not going to buy it.

Gun shows are another issue – there is no gun show loophole. There is no such thing as an “unlicensed dealer”, by their very definition a firearms dealer must have a Federal Firearms License.

Some conservatives mulled that if concealed weapons had been permitted on Tech’s campus, the gunman might’ve been stopped. Yet, that doesn’t mean anyone in Norris Hall would’ve had a concealed weapon or that they would’ve been able to use it to stop the gunman; after all, more than 50 people were killed or wounded in that building.

“B” does not logically follow “A” in this statement. He says that allowing students with concealed weapons permits to carry wouldn’t have necessarily stopped the shooter because 50 people were wounded. That doesn’t even begin to make sense, as I could easily say that “allowing students with permits to carry could have stopped the shooting, even though 50 people were killed or wounded”. There’s no actual logic behind that statement, and it’s frustrating because it’s really just an appeal to emotion instead of reason.

The rest of the article continues in much the same vein, appealing to people’s emotions instead of their reason, and then closes with the 2nd to last sentence being a potshot at the “NRA”.

And of course there’s the influence and power of the gun lobby.

I suppose that an anti-gun editorial wouldn’t be complete without taking cheap shots at the NRA.

If you’d like to email Mike Fox your opinion on the quality and content of his op-ed piece, he can be reached at [email protected]

If you do email, please keep it professional and courteous. People like him already have a negative opinion of most gun owners anyway.

Gupshup raises additional $240 million to fast-track global Conversational Messaging vision

By Beerud Sheth, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer | Gupshup

This round is an extension of the previous $100 million funding round led by Tiger Global in April.

A portion of the funds will be used for a partial share buyback from employees and early investors. Nothing in my entrepreneurial journey gives me more satisfaction than sharing our company’s success with our employees.

Novak Djokovic is Sensitive, Even When the Crowd’s Not Against Him

The confusion was understandable on Tuesday night. Novak Djokovic has been through enough me-against-the-world moments at the U.S. Open and beyond to expect the boos even when he is shooting for tennis’s equivalent of the moon.

But the crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium for this first-round match was actually chanting “Rune” — accentuating the u in the surname of his flashy 18-year-old opponent Holger Rune.

“Obviously you always wish to have the crowd behind you, but it’s not always possible, that’s all I can say,” Djokovic said after his 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-1 victory.

Djokovic is a great champion, and in position in this golden age of men’s tennis to win the statistical race by a hefty margin, ahead of his career-long measuring sticks Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

But the road to the summit has often been bumpy, and he has made a number of his own potholes, including the one he dug in his most recent appearance in Arthur Ashe Stadium. That was last year when he was defaulted in the fourth round after unintentionally hitting a line judge in the throat with a ball he struck in frustration after losing his serve against Pablo Carreño Busta.

Djokovic was the No. 1 seed and heavy favorite to win the title then, just as he is the No. 1 seed and heavy favorite to win the title now. But there is more at stake and a very different vibe.

Djokovic’s gaffe in 2020 came in an all-but-empty Ashe Stadium, devoid of fans because of coronavirus pandemic restrictions. This year, the stadiums and grounds are packed. More than 53,000 came on Tuesday, and it would have been easy to imagine that life had returned to normal if it had not been for the many fans wearing masks in the stands and in the walkways.

Another sign of the times: the line judges are gone. Already absent in 2020 on the outside courts, they have been replaced on all courts this year by the automated line-judging system that eerily uses a prerecorded human voice.

Call it a clean slate as Djokovic tries to make his mark on the game even more indelibly. A Grand Slam is a big deal and deserves to be: Only five players have accomplished it in singles in tennis’s long history.

Men’s stars like Jack Kramer, Roy Emerson, Ken Rosewall, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi never managed it. Federer and Nadal surely won’t either.

But Djokovic is close enough to taste the Grand Slam now, having won the first three of the four legs in 2021. After Tuesday night’s victory, he is just six matches away from joining Don Budge, Maureen Connolly, Rod Laver, Margaret Court and Steffi Graf on the short list of those who have achieved it.

Though the shoulder that bothered him at the Tokyo Olympics did not seem to be a problem, it was not an entirely reassuring start. Rune, a teenage qualifier from Denmark whose boyhood hero was Federer, was making his Grand Slam debut. A former world No. 1 as a junior, Rune is a dynamic player with explosive power and contagious energy. He not only won the second set. He also got the crowd on his side in Ashe Stadium, the biggest venue in tour-level tennis with its five tiers and 23,771 seats.

Though Djokovic looked frustrated and off rhythm as Rune evened the match at one-set-apiece, Djokovic never looked genuinely rattled and was under no threat down the stretch.

Rune, playing his first best-of-five-set match, began to cramp in his legs early in the third set and winced and hobbled between points. He was unable to jump into his serve, unable to run down Djokovic’s drop shots and groundstrokes into the corners.

One suspects that Rune has a bright future (and not because he resembles a young Leonardo DiCaprio). But the final two sets on Tuesday lasted just 51 minutes, less time than it took Rune to win the 58-minute second set.

“Unfortunately, my fitness let me down,” Rune said. “I knew if I had to win, I really had to fight for every point. With my body at this point, it was impossible.”

Djokovic, despite Rune’s long affinity for Federer, has played a mentor’s role. They practiced together earlier this season, and when they met for a handshake at then net it turned into something closer to a conversation. It continued later in the locker room after the disappointed Rune left the court in tears, his towel in his teeth.

Though it is easy to forget at this stage, Djokovic, too, once struggled with his endurance on court, only solving the problem in 2010 and 2011 after changing to a gluten-free diet. But he has proved to be a long-running champion.

“I did struggle with injuries and retirements early in my career,” Djokovic said. “That’s why I can relate to Holger, what he’s going through. We just had a little chat in the locker room. It’s an emotional moment for him. It’s not easy to see that. He’s really sad. I understand that. I’ve been through that. I just told him that he handled himself extremely well. He didn’t want to stop. I thought he was going to stop at the end of the third. He just kept going with dignity, finished off the match. He deserved definitely my respect, the respect of a lot of people. He’s still very, very young.”

Respect is a word that resonates with Djokovic. He has not always had the respect he deserves in New York, where he has won three titles. The crowd turned particularly ugly in 2015, when he defeated Federer in a four-set final, cheering on Djokovic’s errors and double faults, and interrupting his rhythm.

In an interview the next day, Djokovic told me that when they had been chanting “Roger” he willed himself to pretend they were chanting for him instead.

He did not seem to rely on such mind games on Tuesday night, and it must be said that “Ruuuuuune” in cavernous Ashe Stadium does sound a great deal like “Booooooo.”

Even Rune was confused, and only learned for certain after the match what was being chanted. “When I heard that I was happy, because I didn’t understand it in the match,” he said. “It was a crazy crowd, the best I’ve ever felt in my life.”

Who wouldn’t gravitate to a charismatic underdog, a young player wind-milling his arms in delight after hitting a winner against the best in the world? At some stage this tournament, you hope the New York crowd takes the full measure of the tennis achievement Djokovic is pursuing and what he has sacrificed to become this extraordinary a player.

He seemed to be conserving his energy and emotions on Tuesday, and he may need to dip into his reserves over the next 12 days.

Self-control is not his trademark. Witness his racket-smashing tirade in Tokyo just last month when he lost the bronze medal match to Carreño.

But he took a break from the tour after that to refresh his mind and attitude. He is not ignoring the elephant in the room in news conferences.

“As always you have tons of expectations and pressure from just the whole tennis community, including myself,” he said late on Tuesday night. “Obviously I would like myself to win, to go far, to win the title and make the history. Without a doubt that’s something that inspires me. But I am focused on trying to be the best version of myself every day. I know it sounds like a cliché, but there is a great power in being present and working on mentally and emotionally being in the moment and trying to handle it in such a way that would benefit you.”

He remains a seeker and a tinkerer, hard-wired to optimize at the peril of trying to fix what may not be broken. But until proven otherwise, he is the game’s best big-match player and whatever the public is shouting from on high, down in the arena Djokovic is just six matches away from one of sport’s ultimate prizes.

Next up on Thursday: a second-round match with the 121st-ranked Tallon Griekspoor.

Advertisements: Where There’s Smoke… three. Will you participate in social networking? 1. Are you able to show me your work? Why Reviewing Clients within the SEO Corporations Portfolio is Necessary A fast take a look at Google Analytics tells me that one of our most popular sites is accessed by individuals with resolutions of at least 1024×900 which is quite a change from a few years ago, but a welcome one.

You will want a funds for creating an effective Internet technique even when what you might be shooting for is placement in the free section of the various search engines. So, take into consideration what you can afford and search for one of the best strategy that retains inside your funds. It does you no good to arrange an effective Website but run out of money when it comes time to promoting it. A Website could be promoted utilizing Web advertising and/or conventional strategies. No matter method or combination of strategies you choose, figure your advertising and marketing finances at about 10 to twenty p.c of the anticipated gross revenue for the year. So, for those who anticipate to generate $300,000.00 in gross commissions for the year, your advertising budget must be $three,000 to $6000 a yr to promote your Web site. These Internet promotion price estimates do not embody the price of developing your Web site.

Toshiba Qosmio Laptop computer Brightness. 7. Hyperlinks.

2. Do the job right the primary time- Similar to all the pieces else in business time is money. An excellent graphic designer will get the job executed proper the primary time that means that they take the parameters of what the client needs and create the design as best they can to meet those calls for, inside the scheduled time-frame. All specs and necessities ought to be clearly introduced to the designer and they need to fulfill these requirements with great care. Communication is vital to make sure that the project follows the necessities, and stays on job. If the design or project just isn’t what the consumer envisioned, steps must be taken to offer the final product, inside reasonable time frames, and a reduced, or free charge for service.

So, there is a new age upon us and it means more work for firms, extra for internet design businesses and much more for the Web marketers amongst us. You see it’s not just how we interface with these new devices however how and why we use them too. After we choose up a smartphone or iPad variant to surf, we’re most likely not casually flipping from one website to a different, however as a substitute searching for something very specific – in all probability something based mostly on our location or explicit scenario.

Nonetheless, keep away from description tag stuffing.

Dangerous graphic design is one thing which each business will try to keep away from at any value. Generally, the graphic designer you employed could not change into a professional, thus won’t give you the graphic design you were expecting. So, to avoid such a state of affairs, it is advisable be very keen during the time the graphic designer is working at your challenge.

If the bounce price for brand spanking new visits is going up, there could be a design problem occurring. Navigation or database issues may very well be the cause. It could be that each one you need are a few modifications to your code or it might be that your site must be up to date to work with current apps and browsers.

Is the format meeting the criterion that was required? Net design corporations are in all places. They are scattered every where. Some even work from a house-workplace with a view to save overhead cost so that they can provide their service at a discounted price. On this regard, it is best to search for them on the Internet.

What is Health at every size (HAES)?

The Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH) and HAES Australia Inc affirm a holistic definition of health, which cannot be characterized as simply the absence of physical or mental illness, limitation, or disease. Rather, health exists on a continuum that varies with time and circumstance for each individual. Health should be conceived as a resource or capacity available to all regardless of health condition or ability level, and not as an outcome or objective of living. Pursuing health is neither a moral imperative nor an individual obligation, and health status should never be used to judge, oppress, or determine the value of an individual.

The framing for a Health At Every Size (HAES®) approach comes out of discussions among healthcare workers, consumers, and activists who reject both the use of weight, size, or BMI as proxies for health, and the myth that weight is a choice. The HAES model is an approach to both policy and individual decision-making. It addresses broad forces that support health, such as safe and affordable access. It also helps people find sustainable practices that support individual and community well-being. The HAES approach honors the healing power of social connections, evolves in response to the experiences and needs of a diverse community, and grounds itself in a social justice framework.

The Health At Every Size® Principles are:

  1. Weight Inclusivity: Accept and respect the inherent diversity of body shapes and sizes and reject the idealizing or pathologizing of specific weights.

  2. Health Enhancement: Support health policies that improve and equalize access to information and services, and personal practices that improve human well-being, including attention to individual physical, economic, social, spiritual, emotional, and other needs.

  3. Respectful Care: Acknowledge our biases, and work to end weight discrimination, weight stigma, and weight bias. Provide information and services from an understanding that socio-economic status, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and other identities impact weight stigma, and support environments that address these inequities.

  4. Eating for Well-being: Promote flexible, individualized eating based on hunger, satiety, nutritional needs, and pleasure, rather than any externally regulated eating plan focused on weight control.

  5. Life-Enhancing Movement: Support physical activities that allow people of all sizes, abilities, and interests to engage in enjoyable movement, to the degree that they choose.
More information about the HAES Principles and their development can be found on the ASDAH website.

The HAES Australia Position Statement on Weight Neutral Care clarifies how these principles are applied to the health support of individuals.

The Association for Size Diversity and Health holds the Trademark for both terms 'Health at Every Size' and 'HAES' in the USA.

In Australia, HAES Australia Inc holds the Trademark of the terms as part of our logo.

Health at Every Size (HAES) has been trademarked to ensure correct use.

You may use the terms in your work as long as your services are consistent with the Health at Every Size principles and you include the term 'Health at Every Size' and 'HAES' are registered Trademarks of the Association of Size Diversity and Health and used with permission'

Full guidelines for the use of the trademark can be found here.

Glossary of terms

Weight-neutral: an intervention or service where weight change or weight control is not an intended outcome, and that trials have shown to have a negligible impact on body weight.

Weight-centric: an intervention, service or perspective where body weight change or body weight control is considered necessary or desirable.

Size Acceptance: unconditional acceptance of the past, current and future body weight and shape of yourself and others.

Size Diversity: Humans are a biologically diverse species, with great variation in factors including height, weight and body composition.  Even with the most health-supporting environment (timely medical care, no poverty, affordable & accessible nourishing foods, opportunities for physical activity etc) the population would still be physically diverse.

Size Inclusive: a service or intervention that caters for and welcomes people of all shapes and sizes.

Body Positive: a service, intervention or perspective where people of all body shapes, appearances, abilities, races (and other characteristics used to marginalise people) are considered unconditionally worthy of respect and care.

Weight bias: the medical preference for BMIs between 18.5 and 25, and assessment that a BMI over 25 is 'unhealthy'. In the same vein, both terms 'overweight' and 'obesity' are a direct result of weight bias because they are BMI based rather than being determined by an individual's pathophysiology.

Thin bias: the social preference for thinner bodies which is also related to western social constructs of beauty ideals and appearance standards.

Anti-fat bias: Rejection of the appearance or perception of body fat (including on smaller bodies) and can extend to disdain for body composition fat percentage above a given number. A focus on becoming leaner alongside or instead of performance goals in sport is also an example of this kind of bias.

Fat Stigma: the negative social consequences of thin bias. This can include being catcalled, romantically rejected, infantised, harassed, bullied, dehumanised and humiliated due to having a larger body size.  Fat stigma is most corrosive to someone's sense of self when it occurs in the family of origin.  If the larger-bodied person agrees with the negative beliefs attributed to their body they have developed internalised fat (or weight) stigma. Fat stigma is reinforced by negative portrayals of people with larger bodies in the news and entertainment media, for example the 'headless fatty' images that typically accompany news stories about 'obesity' and the ubiquitous fat-to-thin personal transformation narrative.

Weight stigma: the negative interpersonal consequences of weight bias in medical and healthcare settings.  For example, a primary care provider (eg GP) who berates a client for their weight, dismisses their primary complaint to discuss their weight, advises weight loss for a condition that a smaller-bodied person would receive a different treatment for, assumes that someone with a larger body has a sedentary lifestyle or poor eating habits (without actually assessing either), assumes poor health literacy based on body weight etc. The consequences of weight stigma (understandably) include avoidance of healthcare services, diminished sense of self worth, shame, missed/delayed diagnosis of serious illness and exacerbation of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. Weight stigma also affects people outside of health and medical contexts, such as social settings e.g. family and friends, and community settings e.g. public transport, shops, gyms, schools, workplaces, which affect people's ability to participate in activities that benefit their health and well-being.

Size Discrimination: when access to services or activities differs between larger and smaller bodied people. For example, if access to IVF services is arbitrarily limited due to BMI instead of functional testing, when access to adoption services are based on potential parents' BMIs, when joint replacement surgery based on BMI instead of strength and function tests.

Interested in the evidence base?

Weight neutral approaches are experiencing a rapid growth period in research right now, although the foundational work began in the 1950s when intentional weight loss was first recognised as unlikely to be sustained, and social justice movements during the 1960's recognised clear discrimination against people with larger bodies.

Jennifer Hudson Bringing Her Pipes To Michael Jackson Memorial

Award winning Jennifer Hudson is expected to perform at the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday, July 7th in Los Angeles.

Her performance was reported today by CNN who will broadcast the service.  CNN has announced that the memorial service will include Anderson Cooper, Larry King and Don Lemon as the anchors.

It is especially significant that Jennifer will exercise her famous vocal pipes at the King Of Pop's memorial service since she recently experienced her own family loss.

It has been indicated that Jennifer's presence at the memorial, besides singing, is to offer comfort and support to the Jackson family and fans in light of her own recent loss. Reports of her performance have not included any specific songs she will sing.

The coverage of the Michael Jackson memorial will start at noon EDT.  It has also been reported that Michael's death has generated a buying frenzy of his music.

It has been reported by the media that in the four days following his death, 415,000 of Michael's albums were sold. Number Ones, The Essential Michael Jackson, and Thriller each sold over 100,000 copies and charted in the top three of Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Album Chart. Downloads of his singles dominate the digital charts as well.

This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming weeks. Billboard reports that in the first two days of the new tracking week (June 29-30), over 110,000 Jackson albums were purchased, putting him on track for yet another week on the charts.

Halo Zero and Triton II Device Floating

Vaping Systems

We have taken the guesswork out of hardware for you, by bringing you the devices that are easy to use, have the best flavor production, and integrate top safety measures. Charge it, fill it, vape it, enjoy!

What type of hardware do I choose?

For the optimum vaping experience, it’s important to choose the correct device for your tastes and preferences. If you want to mimic the sensation of cigarette smoking, a cig-a-like device might be tempting, but they don’t have a particularly long battery life, and they don’t offer the kind of control and flavor customization you can achieve with more advanced devices. Here are better options.

Pod mod. Vapers who want an easy, grab-and-go product might want to consider a pod mod. These are streamlined devices with small batteries and disposable pods containing e-liquid. The Halo Zero pod mod makes refilling a breeze – just remove and switch pods, or refill with your choice of e-liquid

Vape pen. Vape pens are pen-shaped devices with an e-liquid tank and a battery. Like pod mods, they are user-friendly and deliver a satisfying experience, but they generate larger, thicker vape clouds due to the enhanced battery power. The Triton II is high-performing device that delivers excellent flavor production and exceptionally long battery life.

No matter what your preferences for vape devices are, we offer the right size, power, and features for every taste and lifestyle. Every device offers outstanding battery life and intuitive set-up and operation, and every vape pen is of the finest construction. For the best e-cigarettes and e-cigarette parts – including batteries, tanks, coils, pods and cables -- check out our selection below.
