Muscle Activation Techniques. MAT™ is a technique that helps athletes recover from competitive stress quickly and help them prevent future injuries.

Muscle Activation Techniques

MAT™ prepares the body to be more efficient in training and athletic performance. In order to reach optimal performance capabilities, an athlete is forced to train at high intensity levels. Because of this, there is always the risk for injury. Some athletes may be predisposed to an injury, due to muscular contraction inefficiencies that place increased stress on joints and tissues. When training at a high level, the inefficiencies are magnified, and sometimes the body can no longer handle the stress, eventually breaking down. Duchess Grows 'Poison Garden' That Can Kill.

Out in the Open: The Site That Teaches You to Code Well Enough to Get a Job

That shouldn’t be too hard. You can sign-up for an iterative online tutorial at a site like Codecademy or Treehouse. You can check yourself into a “coding bootcamp” for a face-to-face crash course in the ways of programming. Or you could do the old fashioned thing: buy a book or take a class at your local community college. But if want to be a serious programmer, that’s another matter. That’s where a site called Exercism.io is trying to help. It’s a simple idea. Click to Open Overlay Gallery Software developer Katrina Owen created Exercism.io while she was teaching programming at Jumpstart Labs in Denver, Colorado.

To solve the problem, she created a site last year that presents the practice problems and prevents students from being able to move on to the next ones without submitting a solution to the previous problem. But it didn’t stop there. Is Your Red The Same As My Red? Garden. PhiULEJ.png (PNG Image, 608 × 401 pixels) 625635.jpg (JPEG Image, 460 × 460 pixels) At First I Thought These Were Regular Paintings.

Kintsugi

(Japanese: golden joinery) or Kintsukuroi (金繕い?) (Japanese: golden repair) is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.[1][2][3] As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. Origin[edit] Lacquerware is a longstanding tradition in Japan,[4][5] at some point it may have been combined with maki-e as a replacement for other ceramic repair techniques.

Sex (Or Not) And the Japanese Single. Back in June 2011, British prime minister David Cameron backed proposals tackling the sexualisation of British children, in a bid to dilute the culture of sex that has swept western nations.

Sex (Or Not) And the Japanese Single

The rhetoric goes that the ‘oversexualisation’ of society, as represented in everything from ‘lads mags’ to advertising boards promoting shampoo, has fuelled a surplus of sexual desire that is thought to have contributed to the rise of teenage pregnancy and rape cases in the UK. Compare this to Japan, a country where, according to a recent survey, a third of young men have no interest in sex. Moreover, 50% of young women are not dating. The Curious Case of the Poisoned Umbrella: The Murder of Georgi Markov « The View East. This week marks 33 years since the murder of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, who was poisoned in London on 7 September 1978.

The Curious Case of the Poisoned Umbrella: The Murder of Georgi Markov « The View East

Markov’s assassination, an operation conducted by the Bulgarian Secret Services (the Darzhavna Sigurnost or DS) under the guidance of the Soviet KGB, contained all the essential ingredients of a Cold War spy thriller: mystery, intrigue, nameless, faceless assassins and a nifty James Bond style gadget used as a murder weapon. Markov’s murder also led to widespread outrage and concern – after all, he was killed in the centre of London, in broad daylight, during rush hour, by communist secret agents who appeared to be able to kill with impunity, before vanishing into thin air … Georgi Markov Georgi Markov, author, broadcaster and communist-era dissident, who was murdered in extraordinary circumstances in London on 7 September 1978. Markov’s defection to the West meant that he quickly became persona non grata back in Bulgaria. Scientists Use Mathematical Shortcut to Create New Metals. To create new alloys, metallurgists for centuries have relied on trial and error.

Scientists Use Mathematical Shortcut to Create New Metals

That could change. A group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has come up with a mathematical model that lets them predict what kinds of alloys will be stable, without having to go through the laborious process of making them and trying them out. Most metals consist of tiny crystals at the nanometer scale. This is what gives metals their varying properties – their hardness or ductility, for example.
