Admin May 26, 2021

By Bethany Thomas

The use of foam rollers amongst health enthusiasts and athletes has grown over the years. As more and more people are continuously discovering the many health benefits of foam rolling exercises, it is expected we will see a lot more of these foam rollers in gyms, parks, homes and just about anywhere as long as exercise exists.

What is a foam roller?

A foam roller is a tubular piece of foam utilized to offer a soothing stretch and a kneading massage to the body. Its basic principle is to use the body’s weight to provide pressure while rolling over the foam. Foam rollers are effective in taking out pain, tightness and tissue adhesions. In addition, they also supply a unique way of stretching and various balancing exercises for the athlete.

Foam rollers can be bought in various colors, styles and designs. They also come in different sizes and densities to facilitate better exercise routines for the whole body. You can find foam rollers that are smooth, ridged or with knobs to provide a deeper and more effective massage. They can be used by both men and women of all ages.

Foam Rolling Exercises to Achieve Optimum Athletic Performance

The benefits of using the different foam rolling exercises promote the body’s overall muscular and physical ability. It will make and keep you at your top condition as you prepare for any athletic or sport tournament.

Benefits of Foam Rolling Exercises

With foam rollers, you can choose to exercise every body tissue that needs kneading or gliding. You have power over the specific areas because you use your own weight to provide pressure as you roll over the foam. Focusing on your problematic areas will ease and alleviate pain brought about by too much or from lack of exercise.

-Foam rollers are perfect for stretching. Stretching is when you pull or lengthen your body parts. Foam rollers can target even the parts that are impossible or hard to stretch like the outer thighs. As an individual ages, the joints and the muscles lose elasticity and flexibility. Therefore, a restricted range of motion may develop. This occurrence will make simple daily activities difficult. Stretching can eliminate the tightening of the muscles and the joints and provide a good exercise to lessen muscle tension, augment energy and blood circulation, improve muscle coordination and boosts the joints’ range of motion.

-Foam Rolling Exercises help in the body’s rehabilitation especially after an injury. It provides a higher potential of eliminating injury or acquiring further injury while recuperating. Moreover, it also alleviates pain, soreness and muscle tension while breaking down scar tissues or myofascial adhesions. Scar tissue buildups as the muscles in the body incur injuries from our day-to-day activities including workouts and training programs. Myofascial adhesions are painful and in most cases, you don’t know that you have them. These adhesions restrict your movements and reduce your ability to carry out muscle activities to the optimum level.

-Foam rolling exercises are a recommended way of warming up or cooling down before or after a strength training or any workout program to reduce adhesions and muscle injuries. It also increases the ability of the muscles to recover easily and quickly.

-Foam rolling can also provide an invigorating deep tissue massage. It relaxes the muscles after training or workout. Foam rolling exercises can effortlessly target every part of the body that needs stretching. These muscles include the calves, illiotibial bands, hamstrings, gluteal muscles and the quadriceps. Foam rollers also promote optimal lengthening and range of motion to the spine and its surrounding muscles and tissues.

Foam rollers are Effective Therapeutic Tools

Foam rollers improve blood circulation in the muscles, tissues, skin, tendons, fascia and the ligaments. By allowing a good flow of blood to these vital areas, a perfect amount of nutrients and oxygen can nourish these parts to protect and offer rejuvenation and treatment. The excretion of waste from the different cellular and tissue levels will also provide higher chances of eliminating muscle and joint illness and injuries. Exercises with the use of foam rollers can also provide soft tissue therapies in a short span of time.

Foam rollers are efficient pain killing tools to reduce stiffness of the knees, hips and the spinal joints. Many result to acupuncture, surgical procedures, chiropractic adjustments and other medical or homeopathic treatments to treat pain caused by adhesions and inflexibility. It is time to let them know that a simple, inexpensive way is through the regular use of an efficient therapeutic tool – a foam roller!

Australian cricket tour of Zimbabwe cancelled

Admin May 26, 2021

Monday, May 14, 2007

Australian Prime Minister John Howard said his government has decided to not let the national cricket team go to Zimbabwe.

“We don’t do this lightly, but we are convinced that for the tour to go ahead there would be an enormous propaganda boost for the Mugabe regime,” Howard told ABC television. “The [Robert] Mugabe regime at present is behaving like the Gestapo towards its political opponents, the living standards of the country are probably the lowest of any in the world and you have an unbelievable rate of inflation.”

Reactions from Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe came quickly.

“The Australians are mixing politics with sport and the decision shows how desperate the Howard government is to isolate Zimbabwe,” junior information minister Bright Matonga told Agence France-Presse.

“Australia is one of the worst human rights violators in this whole world. Look what they have done to the aborigines and yet they have the audacity to stand up and claim to have the moral authority to condemn us. This is also a racist ploy to kill our local cricket since our cricket team is now dominated by black players as we slowly transform cricket from being an elite sport.”

Day 1 report of Wikimania 2006

Admin May 25, 2021
This article mentions the Wikimedia Foundation, one of its projects, or people related to it. Wikinews is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Sunday, August 6, 2006

Wikimania 2006 is the second annual Wikimedia conference. Hosted by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, it began August 4 and will run until August 6.

Wikimania began with a keynote presentation from Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. Wales played a short portion of a clip from a recent episode of U.S. television program The Colbert Report discussing Wikipedia. In the clip, Colbert says that “any website that has a longer entry on truthiness than Lutheranism has got its priorities straight.” His keynote continued by re-emphasising Wikimedia’s mission, as stated by Wales in a Slashdot interview: “Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing”.

Wales stated that Wikipedia is “not as good as Britannica — yet”. Additionally, he also stated that in the coming year, Wikipedia will be making “a turn towards quality”. “We have always had this goal, but we all know we’re not there yet – in the coming years one of the themes is going to be a turn towards quality.” said Wales.

He then introduced Brad Patrick, the general counsel and recently-appointed interim CEO of Wikimedia. Patrick said he found Wikimedia after reading Wales’ list Ten Things That Will Be Free on Lawrence Lessig‘s blog. After discovering the Wikimedia Foundation, Patrick emailed Wales about meeting for lunch. He had lunch with Wales a few months later and was hired as general counsel shortly after.

Wales went on to describe Wikia, the company he co-founded with Angela Beesley. He announced that Wikia has received venture capital, allowing them to hire full-time engineers to work on the MediaWiki software. He emphasized that Wikia, has “a total commitment to free knowledge and respect for communities.”

Later, Wales announced that the One Laptop Per Child project will be including Wikipedia as the first element in the content repository. He also announced that the board has approved Wikiversity as “a center for the creation and use of free learning materials and activities”. Wikiversity will “create and host a range of free-content multilingual learning materials for all age groups in all languages”. It will be launched soon with a three language, six month, beta trial period.

Wales described a project called Wikiwyg: a WYSIWYG editor for the wiki. Wikiwyg is an attempt to make the wiki easier to edit. “An intelligence test by making it hard to edit, just does not work,” noted Wales. While the release date is uncertain both Wikia and Socialtext are devoting full-time engineers to the project.

Wales emphasized the need to focus on quality. He also briefly discussed the commitment in the German Wikipedia to rolling out a stable version. He stated that if we do not have it rolled out by next year’s keynote “we are making a big mistake”.

Wales finished his keynote by giving an update on his Ten Things That Will Be Free and proposing “that the foundation seek funding to hire community coordinator and recruiters for important languages where we currently do poorly”.

Other notable speakers included Ward Cunningham, Lawrence Lessig, Eben Moglen and many members of the Wikimedia communities.

The day wrapped up with a poster reception and a party celebrating Wikia’s 250,000 articles and Wikia’s founders Angela Beesley and Jimmy Wales birthdays.

Archived copies of many of the presentations are available on the Wikimania wiki.

Sweden’s Crown Princess marries long-time boyfriend

Admin May 25, 2021

Monday, June 21, 2010

Sweden’s first royal wedding since 1976 took place Saturday when Crown Princess Victoria, 32, married her long-time boyfriend and former personal trainer, Daniel Westling, 36. The ceremony took place at Stockholm Cathedral.

Over 1,200 guests, including many rulers, politicians, royals and other dignitaries from across the world, attended the wedding, which cost an estimated 20 million Swedish kronor. Victoria wore a wedding dress with five-metre long train designed by Pär Engsheden. She wore the same crown that her mother, Queen Silvia, wore on her wedding day 34 years previously, also on June 19. Victoria’s father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, walked Victoria down the aisle, which was deemed untraditional by many. In Sweden, the bride and groom usually walk down the aisle together, emphasising the country’s views on equality. Victoria met with Daniel half-way to the altar, where they exchanged brief kisses, and, to the sounds of the wedding march, made their way to the the silver altar. She was followed by ten bridesmaids. The couple both had tears in their eyes as they said their vows, and apart from fumbling when they exchanged rings, the ceremony went smoothly.

Following the ceremony, the couple headed a fast-paced procession through central Stockholm on a horse-drawn carriage, flanked by police and security. Up to 500,000 people are thought to have lined the streets. They then boarded the Vasaorden, the same royal barge Victoria’s parents used in their wedding, and traveled through Stockholm’s waters, accompanied by flyover of 18 fighter jets near the end of the procession. A wedding banquet followed in the in the Hall of State of the Royal Palace.

Controversy has surrounded the engagement and wedding between the Crown Princess and Westling, a “commoner”. Victoria met Westling as she was recovering from bulemia in 2002. He owned a chain of gymnasiums and was brought in to help bring Victoria back to full health. Westling was raised in a middle-class family in Ockelbo, in central Sweden. His father managed a social services centre, and his mother worked in a post office. When the relationship was made public, Westling was mocked as an outsider and the king was reportedly horrified at the thought of his daughter marrying a “commoner”, even though he did so when he married Silvia. Last year, Westling underwent transplant surgery for a congenital kidney disorder. The Swedish public have been assured that he will be able to have children and that his illness will not be passed on to his offspring.

Westling underwent years of training to prepare for his new role in the royal family, including lessons in etiquette, elocution, and multi-lingual small talk; and a makeover that saw his hair being cropped short, and his plain-looking glasses and clothes being replaced by designer-wear.

Upon marrying the Crown Princess, Westling took his wife’s ducal title and is granted the style “His Royal Highness”. He is now known as HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. He also has his own coat-of-arms and monogram. When Victoria assumes the throne and becomes Queen, Daniel will not become King, but assume a supportive role, similar to that of Prince Phillip, the husband of the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II.

China’s National Strength Ascended Period Sino Us Relations

Admin May 24, 2021

By Jerri Lily

From the two governments and the mainstream political elite point of view, both sides are willing to seek a cooperative Sino-US relations

From the perspective of China’s diplomacy in 2010 will be a very special year.

On the one hand, China’s national strength has reached a new level of increase, second quarter of 2010 China’s economy ranks second in the world; the other hand, the situation of China’s diplomacy is facing ever more complex, not well at the beginning of Sino-US relations into the China since the summer in the East China Sea, Yellow Sea and South China Sea disputes with neighboring countries also suffered.

The complexity of China’s diplomacy and the complexity of Sino-US relations are synchronized to arise. Of course, the two governments also trying to control the situation, a stable relationship. Premier Wen Jiabao on September 22 in New York entitled “jointly create the bright future of Sino-US relations in the new period,” the speech, pointed out that in 10 years, after the international situation, China-US relations without a major ups and downs, the overall stable development momentum.

The recent Sino-US relations, in the past on the basis of some new features.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HTSo4uKwq0[/youtube]

New Features of the United States is that it will be at the beginning of all the cards are played within a short time out. Taiwan, the United States is always time to time to the past, trade, human rights, security and so on a rise in revolt, while very few shots on several issues. Now the beginning, the United States in human rights, trade, climate issues and areas such as nuclear proliferation, a comprehensive attack.

China deal with the United States also has new features, criticisms that there is in the oral action. In the trade sanctions, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, the U.S. Commerce Department announced sanctions on Chinese products roughly the same amount the next day to make the anti-sanctions, and so on. These changes allow some U.S. public opinion and strategic experts believe that China “has become arrogant, aggressive.”

GDP in China overtake Japan, the world economy still faces the risk of second bottom when the two economic giants China-US relations is bound to affect the world economy. Also why, what volatility of Sino-US relations, the degree of concern will be out of the past.

First, the international situation has undergone changes in the objective. As the financial crisis, pressure loss, reduced demand for immediate cooperation, the original focus on some of the problems appear savings.

The second is subjective psychological factors between the two countries in 2009 to enhance bilateral relations between the two sides a good start in the psychological expectations, but reality does not meet this expectation, it had some degree of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

The third factor is the internal affairs of the United States. Although the recent National Security Strategy of view, I attach importance to Sino-US strategic relations between Obama, hoping that China will become the responsibility of the partners, global responsibilities, but his support rate fall in the United States, criticized in the control of the sound Sino-US relations, reduced ability to coordinate internally.

Fourth, the United States appeared less favorable to China’s collective psychology, the most important manifestations of their confidence in the American society, insecurity increased. Just at that moment, the Chinese due to the relatively small impact of financial crisis, the crisis properly, there is from the “one superpower and many” come to the fore the many powerful trend, Americans are particularly sensitive.

Fifth is the confidence in the growth, the national growth in the face of financial crises, natural disasters, outstanding performance, a successful Olympics and World Expo, the Chinese government and civil society confidence, the United States in dealing with Sino-US relations on a number of traditional practices is difficult to continue.

Sixth, with the reform and opening up, China’s social pluralism of interests emerged, views a wide range of phenomena, the Chinese Foreign faced with the need to consider more of the internal factors, which reduced the flexibility of the Chinese to adopt policies to strengthen the U.S. attitude.

Finally, with the overall national strength increased, and in 2000 the Chinese government’s “going out” strategy implemented, the interests of China’s overseas expansion of influence in Asia rising, causing unrest and the U.S. rebound.

They are cheap, useful, and very plentiful, and that is exactly the problem, according to researchers. A report issued on Feb. 23 by a cadre of environment and economics researchers suggested that Kenya should ban the common plastic bag that one gets at the checkout counter of grocery stores, and place a levy on other plastic bags, all to combat the country’s environmental problems stemming from the bags’ popularity.

Wikinews discusses DRM and DMCA with Richard Stallman after GitHub re-enables public access to youtube-dl

Admin May 21, 2021
This article mentions the Wikimedia Foundation, one of its projects, or people related to it. Wikinews is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Wednesday, April 21, 2021

On November 16, code-sharing and hosting service GitHub re-enabled the public access to youtube-dl repository, a software which can download videos from the internet via the command-line. This move comes after Mitchell Stoltz, a Senior Staff Attorney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), sent a letter to GitHub on the behalf of youtube-dl’s maintainers. The repository was previously blocked on October 23, after GitHub received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) take-down notice from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Started in July 2008, youtube-dl is a free/libré open source software written in Python which can download videos from various websites. Citing alleged violation of 17 U.S. Code § 1201 Circumvention of copyright protection systems, RIAA’s takedown notice had alleged youtube-dl was intended to circumvent the technological protection measures of streaming services and to redistribute music videos without authorisation. youtube-dl’s source code had a number of unit tests to check if the software works in different circumstances or not. Some of the test cases included URLs of some copyrighted songs.

In the letter to GitHub, EFF’s attorney Stoltz said “This file contains series of automated tests that verify the functionality of youtube-dl for streaming various types of video. The youtube-dl source code does not, of course, contain copies of these songs or any others […] the unit tests do not cause a permanent download or distribution of the songs they reference; they merely stream a few seconds of each song to verify the operation of youtube-dl. Streaming a small portion of a song in a non-permanent fashion to test the operation of an independently created software program is a fair use.” The letter stressed “youtube-dl does not decrypt video streams that are encrypted with commercial DRM technologies”.

The URLs to copyrighted songs were removed from the source code on November 16, and replaced with a test video that uploaded on YouTube by Philipp Hagemeister, former maintainer of youtube-dl. Philipp Hagemeister had previously spoken about the takedown with Wikinews.

youtube-dl comes with a small JavaScript interpreter where it acts as a web-browser would behave while receiving video data from the server. The script has “extractors” for various websites to handle videos from different sources. “Any software capable of running JavaScript code can derive the URL of the video stream and access the stream, regardless of whether the software has been approved by YouTube”, the letter read. It borrowed an analogy of Doors of Durin from J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings for explanation: travelers come upon a door that has writing in a foreign language. When translated, the writing says “say ‘friend’ and enter.” The travelers say “friend” and the door opens. As with the writing on that door, YouTube presents instructions on accessing video streams to everyone who comes asking for it.

Hours after the public access was restored, Sergey M, one of the maintainers of youtube-dl wrote on GitHub, “We would like to thank @github for standing up for youtube-dl and making it possible to continue development without dropping any features. We appreciate [GitHub] for taking potential legal risks in this regard. We would also like to thank [EFF] and personally [Mitch Stoltz] for invaluable legal help. We would also like to heartily thank our main website hoster Uberspace who is currently being sued in Germany for hosting our essentially business card website and who have already spent thousands of Euros in their legal defense.”

Hours after GitHub restored the public access to the repository, Stoltz tweeted “I think of youtube-dl as a successor to the videocassette recorder. The VCR empowered people to take control of their personal use of free-to-air video, but it had to be saved from the copyright cartel. The same goes for youtube-dl. GitHub did the right thing here.”

youtube-dl is used by thousands of people around the world. Multiple Creative Commons-licensed and public domain videos on Wikimedia Commons are uploaded via a tool called video2commons, which relies on youtube-dl to download media. youtube-dl also lets users download videos from LiveLeak — a video-sharing platform for citizen journalism. Videos downloaded using youtube-dl are also used for the purpose of fair use, or for evidence.

When a copyright holder chooses to release their work, be it a photograph, a video, or audio, under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, they allow everyone to freely own, share or modify the work as long as the reusers properly attribute the author of the work. YouTube also hosts many audio and video recordings in the public domain which can be used for any purpose without any restrictions.

In the blog post announcing “youtube-dl is back”, GitHub said, “Although we did initially take the project down, we understand that just because code can be used to access copyrighted works doesn’t mean it can’t also be used to access works in non-infringing ways. We also understood that this project’s code has many legitimate purposes, including changing playback speeds for accessibility, preserving evidence in the fight for human rights, aiding journalists in fact-checking, and downloading Creative Commons-licensed or public domain videos.”

GitHub also announced any new 1201 takedown notices will be “carefully scrutinised by legal experts” to reject “unwarranted claims”, and said it will side with software developers if the claims are ambiguous. The announcement also mentioned GitHub Trust and Safety team would treat developer’s tickets as a “top priority”. GitHub also pledged donation of USD 1 million for developer defense fund “to help protect open source developers on GitHub from unwarranted DMCA Section 1201 takedown claims”.

GitHub had blocked public access to many forks of youtube-dl upon receiving the DMCA notice in October. At that time, Wikinews noted public access was not yet restored for the forked repositories listed in RIAA’s copyright notice and was still displays “Repository unavailable due to DMCA takedown”.

During the period when GitHub had disabled public access for the repository, Sergey M had been developing youtube-dl and hosting it on GitLab, another code-sharing and hosting site. However, since GitHub has restored public access of youtube-dl, Sergey M has made the GitLab repository private.

After this, Wikinews reached out to Richard Stallman, the founder of Free Software Foundation, who has been highly critical of DRM (digital rights management, the subject of the DMCA) for many years now, to discuss the harms of DRM and DMCA 1201.

Logo Design And Advertisement

Admin May 20, 2021

Submitted by: Sha Amen

If you own a business or work for an advertisement company, then you must be aware of the importance of a logo design in the business world. When you are not present, your logo represents your business. When you are not in stores to tell people which products are manufactured by you, it s your logo that tells everyone. Hence, your brand identity helps you grow your business if you manage to create it powerfully, effectively and attractively. Other than representing your business, your logo design also helps you promote your products both online and offline, because it is a prominent feature in advertisements.

No matter what platform you use to promote your business, your logo will always be there. Without your brand identity design, your advertisements and marketing campaigns will be useless. After all, how will your market be able to relate you to your business and products? This shows that your brand identity design works as the face of your business. Just as we all have a face through which we are recognized, businesses also have a face in the form of logo through which they are recognized. So, if you don t have your brand identity design yet then the first thing you need to do is to get it designed.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjeK9Q9kwoM[/youtube]

Now, different platforms will provide you with different requirements in terms of the size of logo. For example, if you intend to grow your social network then you will join sites like Facebook, MySpace, etc. to meet new people and connect. To promote your business there, you will of course have to use your logo, but the size they ask for may be different as compared to the size you have. So, if your logo will lose its details at the time of resizing, then you will only end up destroying your brand image. Hence, ensure that your logo is resizable as well as scalable.

If you intend to promote your business via banner advertisement, then your banners will be life-less without your logo design. People won t be able to relate it to your business and, hence, your efforts and money will be wasted unwisely. It doesn t matter whether you want to create a banner for online advertisement or offline advertisement, your logo must always be there to tell your market that this promotion of offer belongs to your business. This way you will be able to direct them to your website or store.

When it comes to promoting your business offline via banners, then you have the option to create nice and catchy banners with attractive content and design and place them in appropriate locations to grab the attention of your market. Your content and design will get your market interested and your logo will tell them what company this offer is from. Hence, advertisement without a top quality business logo will be useless both online and offline.

One important lesson that we learn from this discussion is that your logo has to look attractive and professional as well. So, don t hire a cheap designer and ruin your image. After all, you ll be using your logo on your products as well as in your marketing material. So, don t ever compromise on quality and you will see the benefits of this practice very soon.

Suresh Joachim breaks ironing world record

Admin May 18, 2021

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

Brampton — Suresh Joachim of Mississauga, Ontario continues to amaze, breaking yet another world record, this time at The Bay Court in Shoppers World.

From Thursday, September 22 at 8 am, to Saturday, September 24 at 3:05 pm, Suresh ironed continuously for 55 hours and 5 minutes, in front of the thousands of onlookers shopping at the mall those three days.

The achievement, now submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records, breaks the previous record by Eufemia Stadler of Zurich, Switzerland. Stadler completed 40 hours of continuous ironing from September 16-18, 1999.

Originally from Sri Lanka and Australia, Joachim is no stranger to the folks at Guinness. He currently holds twenty other records, ranging from greatest distance travelled on ‘up’ and ‘down’ escalators (225.44 km between May 25 and May 31 1998), furthest travelled on a treadmill in one week (659.27 km at a gym in Paris, France), and longest dance marathon by an individual (100 hours at the Dixie Outlet Mall).

This September, Suresh watched television in the lobby of WABC in New York City for 69 hours and 7 minutes, breaking the previous record by 19 hours. The event was covered daily on the talk show “Live with Regis and Kelly” as part of their Guinness World Record Breaker Week. He also recently set the record for longest time rocking in a rocking chair, at 75 hours.

A DJ on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire recently tried to break Joachim’s record for longest continuous time as a DJ. He was unsuccessful, and Suresh’s 120-hour World Record set on Geethavaani Tamil Radio in Scarborough stands unharmed.

The event helped raise funds for the Universal Fund for Suffering Children, whose funds are “utilized to save the world’s children from poverty, disease and war.” All of Joachim’s stunts have been dedicated to this charity.

What’s next for Suresh? He plans to start static cycling from October 18th, 2005 to October 22nd, 2005, in Britain. Suresh’s goal is 150 world records, which would beat the long-time record breaker Ashrita Furman, who has accumulated 94 records. While Furman started two decades ago, Suresh only discovered the Guinness Book of World Records in 1991, and started record breaking in 1996.
