Hoops Connect - Your sport. Sorted.
taking payments and finding players ever again!
Create a sporting event in 3 easy steps, invite people, make it recurring and let Hoops deal with the rest. Say goodbye to all the headaches that come with organising, maintaining and tracking your events and players.
Organised a sporting event but barely anyone showed up? With Hoops, all your dropouts are automatically replaced with people in the waiting list, so you would’t have to worry about not having a full team anymore.
We know that chasing people for money can be awkward and there is always that one guy who forgets to pay and then you, the organiser, is left to pay the bill.
With Hoops, all your finances are sorted when a participant pays through the app to reserve his/her spot. What this means? Organiser gets paid, participant is guaranteed a spot on the team and everyone’s happy! Of course, you can always choose to do it old-school and collect cash on site.

The maritime sector is deeply rooted in the Dutch culture and economy. The innovative and entrepreneurial strength of this sector of the Dutch economy is something that we want to be able to feel in the museum. We are using our knowledge and our collection to translate stories from maritime practice into attractive and modern presentations for a largely non-maritime audience. We are therefore always looking for new partners with stories from the maritime sector.
The Maritime Museum thanks its partners for their financial contribution. Partly due to the financial support, dedication and commitment of these partners, the continued existence of the museum is guaranteed and we can realize our ambitions. We and our visitors owe them many thanks.
Our visitors experience the enormous influence of shipping on our daily life via interactive storytelling.

Author – Chris Gerrib, or Where's My Private Mars Rocket?
Me, getting ready to lead the “Mighty Space Fleets of War” panel at Capricon.
I’m a geek. I always have been, starting from when I’d pedal my bike down to the library in my small Illinois town to read and re-read all the science fiction and space books they had. (The town? Westville, Illinois, population 3,000.) This was pre-Internet, and my town was too small to have much of a gamer community, so that path to geekdom was closed, but books, they were open.
Like many in my small town, I joined the military as a way to fund college and get out of Dodge. (Our high school guidance counselor literally covered a wall of his office with recruitment certificates from the military.) The Navy sent me to a guided missile frigate in Florida, and after that I went back to school, got an MBA, and moved to Chicago.
Writing seriously started to happen in 2001. The Chicago Tribune had a columnist, Eric Zorn, who had a “Someday is Now (SIN)” club. The idea was that thing you were going to do “someday?” Well, do it now. (Eric’s someday was to run a marathon.) I had threatened to write a book someday, so I did. The book became The Mars Run after many a re-write. Yep, my first novel got published. Don’t worry, there are three follow-up novels on my hard drive that will never see the light of day.
So that’s me. If you like what you’ve read so far, please buy my books!

And what a gem The Lillingtons is. As US punkrockband inspired by The Ramones/The Queers and started out in 1995, it was only in 2018 that they blessed us with their first EU tour and an incredible first liveshow on Belgian soil at Brakrock Ecofest. Their last album, “Stella Sapiente” from 2017, is less of your typical punkrock, but more of a fresh comeback record by a bunch of “grown up” punkrockers. Anyway, May 6th will go down in history as the first BE clubshow of The Lillingtons, and from what we heard, the only one in our country in 2019.

For many years now there has been a proven set of guidelines for the acceptance of offset presses. These lay down criteria that offset presses must meet if they are to be suitable for production and that can be objectively checked. End of 2018 Fogra and bvdm launched such guidelines for digital printing. For the time being, the guidelines are restricted to electrophotographic printing but they can also be applied to other printing methods provided these relate to the four-colour printing of A3 sheets.
Unlike the offset printing the test results of digital printing always relate to a particular substrate. Furthermore the guidelines do not contain any tolerances but simply a description of the test procedures, including test forms, characteristic values and their evaluation. This is due to the fact that commercially available digital presses exhibit a very broad range of quality properties because the very varied requirements imposed on different printed products mean that the printing systems are similarly varied in how they are set up.
There are various different possible ways for the guidelines to be used in practice. One possibility is for manufacturers to incorporate the characteristic values they contain into the specifications for their presses. Another is for printing companies to compare their print quality requirements with the quality delivered by the press in question and then choose a system that meets their requirements. They also allow the quality properties promised by the manufacturer to be objectively checked in the course of a technical acceptance trial.
It is often difficult for the individual user to specify suitable quality attributes. In order to help with this, the guidelines contain a range of values for each characteristic value that reflect the spectrum of electrophotographic printing systems that are currently commercially available. The results for a typical offset print are also included for guidance. In addition, Fogra holds sample books for selected imagequality attributes and these can be viewed on request.
Those who are interested in an English version shall be referred to the final report of the corresponding research project. It contains the same information as the guidelines and only lacks of some additonal explanations about the impact of the quality attributes.
Fogra offers three different levels of service based on the new digital press guidelines. The basic level involves checking the colour accuracy, the rendering of spot colours, colour variations over the format and the print run, banding, the rendering of detail, edge sharpness, as well as print out uniformity. Optional gradation and geometry modules can also be ordered. The first of these examines the tone value resolution and the reproducible tone value range, whilst the second examines image register and positional accuracy (simplex and duplex), as well as the dimensional stability of the colour separations.
It is possible to order either a complete package in which trial prints are overseen on site and then evaluated or a more limited one in which printed samples are submitted for evaluation. The complete package is recommended for a contractually agreed acceptance trial by a neutral institution, whereas evaluation on its own is more suitable for manufacturers who simply want to record the characteristic values that define the quality of their presses. When submitting prints for evaluation, it is important to ensure that print trials are carried out precisely as laid down in the guidelines.

Welcome to the first post in our backyard gone glam series! This is part 1 of a week-long series on how to dress up your outdoor party, and today we’re talking about party decoration ideas.
For years, I’ve obsessed over photos of outdoor parties and weddings, and how people seem to completely transform their outdoor spaces. Well, I’m finally getting the chance to try my hand at transforming my own space for my 30th birthday party, and what a difference a few things can make!
I had thought it would be pretty difficult to make a big impact, but I’ve been doing a lot of research over the past few months, and it turns out that there are some fairly simple things that can really do the trick!
Even though I’m taking cues from weddings, engagement parties, and other big events, I found these things can be easily adapted to smaller and more intimate parties (without having to spend a fortune).
This week I’ll be sharing some of the best ways to dress up your space for your next outdoor party or get-together.
Lights set a theme, tone, and mood—and there are so many options! Candles, tiki torches, market lights, paper lanterns, twinkle lights… I could go on and on.
Get creative with color to create a playful daytime space that transforms into something magical once the sun goes down.
Giving your party a theme—and infusing it into the decorations and menu—is a great way to make planning easier and to create a cohesive look.
Even a theme as basic as a color palette or a staple food item will help you narrow down your decorations and food.
Garland, banners, streamers and ribbon add so much festivity! They have endless color options, so it’s so easy to coordinate them with just about anything. You can hang them from trees, fences, or balconies.
Flowers and plants are a great way to dress up a space, and they add an instant splash of color that will last longer than your party.
If you’re feeling especially creative, you could even decorate your pots!
Don’t miss out on other ways to glam up your backyard – check back tomorrow for the next part of my outdoor party series!
Find the rest of the series here: part 2, part 3, part 4.
A nice collection of lanterns hung directly over this outdoor dining area look beautiful. Love the ideas for party.
I really like the idea of hanging lanterns from trees. I’ve tried mason jars and everything, but haven’t had a ton of success with it. I was looking on http://www.treasureshopgallery.com/dept-45230 to get some ideas on how I could best light the area and found some really cool lanterns and ideas. I think getting a candle lantern will look the best, and be something I can use around the house after the event.

This verse reminds me of the lyrics from Linda Ronstadt’s song, “A Long, Long, Time.” It’s from the perspective of a lover who’s been jilted. She writes, “Love will abide, take things in stride, Sounds like good advice but there’s no one at my side. And time washes clean love’s wounds unseen. That’s what someone told me but I don’t know what it means. Cause I’ve done everything I know to try and make you mine. And I think I’m gonna love you for a long, long time. Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears, I can’t say you hurt me when you never let me near.” But here’s the line that struck me most, “And I never drew one response from you. All the while you fell all over girls you never knew…” If you ever heard that song, you know that you can almost see Linda crying through the verses. Jeremiah indicts Israel with a similar sin. He calls for them to repent in Jeremiah 3:13, “Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the LORD your God and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice, declares the LORD.” God’s love abides!

LONDON — Rock ‘n’ roll will never die — but it’s a hazardous occupation.
An academic study published Thursday confirms that rock and pop musicians are more likely to die prematurely than the general population, and finds that solo artists are twice as likely to die young as members of bands.
Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University and Britain’s Health Department studied 1,489 rock, pop, punk, R&B, rap, electronica and New Age stars who became famous between 1956 and 2006 — from Elvis Presley to the Arctic Monkeys.
The researchers dismissed the “fanciful but unsubstantiated” popular myth that rock stars tend to die at 27 — as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse all did. The average age of death was 45.2 years for North American stars and 39.6 for European ones.
Solo performers had twice the death risk of members of bands. Lead researcher Mark Bellis speculated that could be because bands provide peer support at stressful times.
“Solo artists, even though they have huge followings, may be relatively isolated,” said Bellis, director of the Center for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University.
Music critic John Aizlewood agreed that solo artists receive more attention and adulation — and also more pressure.
“And when you are a solo act, irrespective of what they say in interviews, it’s an incredibly egotistical thing,” he said. “So you tend to be dealing with people who are more emotionally extreme.
In good news for aging rockers, the study found that, after 25 years of fame, stars’ death rates began to return to normal — at least in Europe. A European star still living 36 years after achieving fame faces a similar mortality rate to the European public. But U.S. artists continue to die in greater numbers.
Bellis said factors contributing to the difference could include longer careers — and thus longer exposure to rock ‘n’ roll excess — in the U.S., a huge, populous country with greater opportunities for aging stars to stay on the road. Europe’s stronger social safety net and socialized medicine may also play a role, he said.
The research, which updates a 2007 study by the same team, was published in the online journal BMJ Open.
The study suggests the infamous rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle may not be entirely to blame for rock stars’ death risk.
The researchers looked for the first time at the role of “adverse childhood experiences” — such as physical or sexual abuse — on stars’ later behavior.
“Substance abuse and risk-taking in stars are largely discussed in terms of hedonism, music industry culture, responses to the pressures of fame or even part of the creative process,” the researchers said.
But Ellis Cashmore, a cultural studies professor at Staffordshire University and author of the book “Celebrity/Culture,” said it would be wrong to overlook “artistic frustration” as a factor in artistic self-destruction.
“Perhaps it is the continual striving for some sort of unattainable artistic perfection that drives them,” he said.

With the Obama Administration’s announcement of their future policy regarding the American human spaceflight program, the new reality is that the United States will be on a slower track toward humans exploring the solar system. Since the space program’s inception, human exploration has dominated the agency’s agenda despite the obvious success of robotic or unmanned space science missions. Developing a synergism between the two strands of exploration has often been a zero sum game for the space science side of the house.
That is the fate of the American human spaceflight program: great expectations and limited resources. What causes consternation presently is that the Obama Administration is willing to publicly say that the emperor has no clothes.
As a product of the first space age immediately after Sputnik in 1957, NASA has long labored under the burden of achieving great feats in its infancy while in more recent years the program has labored under the burden of great expectations but limited resources, especially for the task the agency most fervently wished to pursue: human exploration beyond Earth orbit out into the solar system. What existed and continues to exist is the great disconnect between what program is aspired to by the agency and what is in fact supported. If one looks back over the past forty or so years, the consistent pattern is one of inconstant support. Repeatedly, major projects in all areas across the agency are initiated or more likely proposed but if approved are cut back, stretched out, or terminated after starving for a few years.
That is the fate of the American human spaceflight program: great expectations and limited resources. What causes consternation presently is that the Obama Administration is willing to publicly say that the emperor has no clothes. That is a radical concept, but one that grows directly out from the realities of how NASA and the human spaceflight program has been treated politically and economically. Supporters of human spaceflight have tended to ignore this reality because the white knight is on the way; that is, the next president will be the one to save the program by ignoring political reality and adding significantly more money to NASA programs. The record is clear: that is not going to happen unless a major shift occurs in the external political environment that demands an enhanced human spaceflight program to save or ameliorate the crisis.
This record, however, refers to government-funded and -directed programs, not the private sector, which is partially sheltered from the problem as long as they are not dependent on government subsidies or contracts. Unfortunately, too often, private space advocates have spoken out of both sides of their mouths, ripping government programs as inefficient and flawed but on the other hand demanding government subsidies either directly or by transferring government-developed technologies to their control, usually with some start up money thrown in to make things go more smoothly. The Obama changes will not end this disconnect between private and public although some act as if the tentative steps being suggested are ending the world in a giant bonfire of the vanities. That is a matter for another day; the question here is how to view the historical record and what conclusions can be drawn.
Repeatedly, major projects in all areas across the agency are initiated or more likely proposed but if approved are cut back, stretched out, or terminated after starving for a few years.
As former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Congressman and Chair of the House Science Committee Robert Walker wrote recently in the Washington Times, “The launch-vehicle portion of the Constellation program was so far behind schedule that the United States was not going to have independent access for humans into space for at least five years after the shutdown of the shuttle. We were going to rely upon the Russians to deliver our astronaut personnel to orbit. We have long had a cooperative arrangement with the Russians for space transportation but always have possessed our own capability.” This statement effectively summarizes why the Obama Administration decided to move in the direction that they chose. It was not an aberration but a decision grounded in the realities of the American space program, stagnant budgets, and burgeoning aspirations. What is lost in much of the discussion is that the NASA budget will receive a $6 billion boost over the short term.
History does not necessarily teach us anything but it does provide a glimpse at how certain problems were handled—or not—in the past. From those historical events, one can draw certain conclusions or patterns that may distress but also enlighten. Rather than delve into a lengthy series of case studies, one might consider the following highly condensed chart of the realities of human spaceflight within the context of American politics. Several items are included because they were impacted by the decisions made with regard to human spaceflight. The reality since 1961 is that for NASA leadership, regardless of administration, Republican and Democratic, human spaceflight remains the engine of the space program with everything else secondary or more likely supportive, such as space science missions. Thus, as a result, the path for the entire federal space program has been a roller coaster not because cuts were always imposed from outside the agency (although some were) but those agency missteps, especially budgetary, with regards to human spaceflight often had immediate and disruptive consequences in other areas of the agency. For example, the decline of the aviation side of NASA especially after the supersonic transport program was terminated in March 1971 was accentuated later in the 1970s by the agency fixation on getting the shuttle launched. The more famous understanding comes from James Van Allen’s 1986 article in Scientific American lamenting the “slaughter of the innocents” in his view: the space science missions were terminated, stretched out, or forced onto the shuttle in order to expand its launch manifest. The driving issue was achieving shuttle flights.
2010 Obama and the Flexible path Fix budget and technology issues, flexible path, future unknown, ISS extended to 2020 and beyond?
What the above table attempts to do is identify critical points in the US space exploration program when events both physical and political intervened to change the direction pursued by NASA. Some changes were major, as in 2004 with the Vision for Space Exploration (VSE), while others were continuations or elaborations of established trends, such as the stripping of funds from space science budgets to support shuttle development at the end of the Carter Administration and effectively again in the aftermath of the VSE initiative. In sweeping terms, one can observe that several of the trends occur somewhat separately from each other: the primary quest is to keep human spaceflight alive despite what appears to be a difficult flight system, the space shuttle, declared to be experimental and dangerous. None of the major program initiatives, including Apollo, were assured of stable and continuing funding: the Apollo program was repeatedly cut as the Vietnam War and the War on Poverty began to eat into the federal budget. Prior to his death, President Kennedy proposed to significantly alter the Apollo program by converting it into a joint US-Soviet lunar landing program. The Soviets failed to respond, seeing the proposal as a trap.
NASA’s attempts to further expand its human spaceflight effort have repeatedly floundered on the unwillingness of administrations and congresses to keep their funding stable and, more critically, expanding. Instead, the space program continually suffered cuts and stretch-outs. New initiatives are funded well for a time and then they fall into the pit of “politics as usual”, meaning everything is up for grabs, including adding earmarks. The NASA budget has been repeatedly damaged by earmarks for programs. For example, from FY 1997 to FY 2006, the number of earmarks rose from six to 199. The point is that NASA as an agency and its programs are not, and have never been, immune to the impact of normal congressional politics. The result has been a consistent pattern of inconstant support—projects are started or more likely proposed but even if approved are eventually cut back and stretched out. The question is why does this occur?
The reasons are fairly simple but telling. First, political support for human spaceflight remains a mile wide and an inch deep in terms of the American public. There exist pockets of committed political support for an expansive human spaceflight program but they are dramatically outnumbered by adherents to other equally important and sought after programs, such as environmental and education funding, veterans’ benefits, and money for science and technology. Universities, for example, are cross pressured by their support for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and NASA, the first two being more important to most universities.
The point is that NASA as an agency and its programs are not, and have never been, immune to the impact of normal congressional politics. The result has been a consistent pattern of inconstant support—projects are started or more likely proposed but even if approved are eventually cut back and stretched out.
In addition, within the space community, there exist severe splits between those who support unmanned or robotic missions as opposed to human spaceflight programs. These distinct clusters of space exploration supporters, especially the former, see the competition for scarce resources as essentially zero-sum; that is, if one wins, the other loses. Strategies to overcome this problem can take several forms, usually with bad results. One strategy taken by NASA when the space station program was originally set up after President Reagan’s approval of the program, over the objections of his science and political advisors, was to incorporate all the major NASA centers and other players into the program. The space station office originally was not located at any center in order to make the point that everyone had a piece of the pie, as it were. The result was a program out of control and incapable of disciplining itself to stay on schedule and within budget parameters. The result was a near-death experience in 1993 when the House of Representatives came within one vote of cancelling the program. That same summer, the Superconducting Super Collider program was cancelled due to a House vote. In addition, the cost overruns from the space station and the space shuttle forced the science community, including space sciences, to come out in public opposition to the station’s continuation since they saw its completion coming only at the cost of the space science community’s decimation. Given their previous history during shuttle development, they saw no alternative to becoming publicly critical of the space station. This was highly unusual within the Washington political community but reflected their desperation if Congress was not mobilized.
Moreover, for the public as a whole as well as much of Congress, the priority of the space program, especially its human spaceflight side, is low in comparison to other national priorities. When the public is asked to comparison shop between the space program and various social and defense programs, the space program loses and often badly. This has been a standard finding since the Apollo program when denunciations of a “moondoggle” were loudly proclaimed even as the Apollo 11 lifted off the launch pad. There was a civil rights demonstration at the gates of the Kennedy Space Center protesting the diversion of needed monies to a frivolous vanity program considered by some as similar to a potlatch ceremony among Northwestern Native Americans.
The ace in the hole for many supporters is the fact that one can cast the human spaceflight program as a pure and simple jobs program—who can be opposed to jobs for constituents? The mythology of the Apollo program neglects the crude reality that the program was seen by the Southern Democrats who dominated Congress in the 1960s as a source of constituent jobs and regional economic development. That linkage between NASA and its political patrons through the mechanism of jobs has been an important one for resisting change, or at least changes the agency did not want. The controversy over the current Obama program can be seen as a struggle for the soul of the future of US human spaceflight or, more crudely and equally accurately, as a fight over jobs, especially in Alabama (Marshall), Florida (Kennedy), and Texas (Johnson), the epicenter for the shuttle program and its successor Constellation.
This same job linkage occurred in 1972 with the shuttle approval decision by Nixon and in 1996 with Clinton’s approval of the X-33. In both instances, the focal point was specifically jobs in California in a presidential election year. However, other regions see job growth in expanding science missions, such the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in California and Goddard in Maryland. So, even among congressional supporters, there exist differences depending upon what benefit they see as coming to their area and their constituents. Constituent jobs is a both a political virtue and a vice depending on which way the current is flowing. When budget times are normal, all sides agree to go along but when crisis arises, it is every senator and representative for himself.
What has long protected NASA and the exploration program from outside competition in the form of the private sector has been the continued inability of the private sector to match its hype with its actual performance.
Even more damning for NASA is the reality that it is remains a government agency, with all the stigma that incurs in American political culture. The private sector is clearly perceived as more compatible with American values. One must remember that efforts to privatize or commercialize the space shuttle date back to Carter Administration, even before the shuttle flew its first mission. The Reagan Administration also had such designs on the shuttle but those floundered on the shuttle’s flight problems even before Challenger in 1986. The shuttle was to be the equivalent to a bus with a regular and relatively fixed schedule. Launch delays and safety concerns made the shuttle a non-starter as a commercial vehicle once the subsidies were withdrawn. Gingrich and Walker also argue the point that the commercial or private sector should be the path forward in their Washington Times op-ed. “Reliance on commercial launch services will provide many other benefits. It will open the doors to more people having the opportunity to go to space. It has the potential of creating thousands of new jobs, largely the kind of high-tech work to which our nation should aspire. In the same way the railroads opened the American West, commercial access can open vast new opportunities in space. All of this new activity will expand the space enterprise, and in doing so, will improve the economic competitiveness of our country.” The difficulty has been that the space shuttle never was capable of becoming the space equivalent of a railroad both in terms of schedule and steadily falling costs.
What has long protected NASA and the exploration program from outside competition in the form of the private sector has been the continued inability of the private sector to match its hype with its actual performance. As mentioned above, the private sector argues for freedom from government interference and restrictions imposed by outdated policies. Many of those policies, such as those that hindered development of a robust remote sensing industry, have been removed, but the area of the most disappointment remains space launch, where private ventures have a checkered past. For many years, the complaint was unfair competition from the space shuttle with its subsidized payloads. That problem went away after Challenger exploded during liftoff in 1986. The next complaint was unfair competition from international competitors such as Russia (after the fall of the Soviet Union) and China—those competitive threats were limited by a series of agreements setting constraints on pricing and number of payloads the two could launch.
More damaging was the failure of the comsat boom of the early and mid 1990s to come to fruition; instead, Arianespace, plus some tamed international competitors such as International Launch Systems and Sea Launch, dominated the market. The failure of NASA’s X-33 program killed the RLV effort while the military’s EELV program upgraded the standard US launch vehicles, the Delta and Atlas. Both those programs occurred because the federal government funded them at least initially. The current SpaceX Falcon 9 and the Orbital Sciences Taurus 2 are being developed to resupply the ISS but one must note though that both programs are being supported by NASA contracts, which make protestations of pushing forward regardless of the risk somewhat difficult to credit. This continued dependence at least partially undermines the private sector’s claims that it is ready to step up as the shuttle’s replacement (see “Will NASA’s embrace kill NewSpace?”, The Space Review, February 15, 2010). However, NASA’s continued problems with developing a shuttle replacement continue to lend credence to a private sector approach.

Even with all the chemical means of birth and disease control, good old condoms are pretty effective.
But like they say, size matters. If they aren't comfortable they won't get used, and if they fall off that's bad.
Somebody came up with the idea of a size checker like the have for ring size.
Good idea but the guy has a whole handful of them, that a waste of resources.
They only need one in each store, attached to the shelf with a chain like the pens in the bank.
That third size is... potentially problematic.
Yes, I'm hoping they are referring to the color of the condom/packaging.
It's only microaggression if it's intentional, but it's hard to believe nobody picked up on that.
I wouldn't call it microaggression, but it does represent (at best) the privilege of having an insular worldview, and at worst, a "ƒuck 'em" attitude at some level.
They should make it like kindergarten reading groups, where they're just named "trout" and "starfish" and "sea turtle" so no one is able to figure out which one is better than the others.
Nononononono! Where have you been?
The speaker's intent means nothing anymore. Doesn't matter what the speaker means, or intends.
In a regular world, maybe, but not in this one, where everyone seems determined to be offended.

¶ A compression release allows you to ease the piston over Top-Dead-Center of the compression stroke. This allows you to kick the engine over easier. This is usually done by a lever that prevents the exhaust valve from fully seating. Then the compression pressure, of the compression stroke, leaks out through the partially open exhaust valve. This allows the piston to easily move past Top-Dead-Center and into the correct position for easy starting.
The compression release always opens the exhaust valve and not the intake valve. There is a reason for this. It's not a real good idea to vent possibly hot, and explosive gases, back into the intake track where very bad things could happen.
There are many ways to activate a compression release.
A lever on the handlebar, connected by a cable, to the exhaust valve lifter.
A cable connected to the exhaust valve lifter, that is automatically operated by a cam on the kickstarter.
Both a handlebar lever and an automatic cam on the kickstarter, lift the exhaust valve, by a cable.
A lever on the cylinder head connected directly to the exhaust valve lifter.
A spring loaded cam or lever on the main exhaust cam.
To Make it easier to set the piston in the right position Yamaha even put a cam position marker on the cylinder head of their 500cc singles. Just bring the piston up on the compression stroke, pull the compression release lever and continue pushing the kickstart lever till you see the cam marker in the window on the side of the cylinder head. Then release the compression release lever and kickstart the engine.
Some engines like the Kawasaki KL650 , the Honda XR400R and some Yamaha ATV engines have a spring loaded compression release right on the camshaft. When the engine stops, a spring moves a special cam to slightly open the exhaust valve. When the engine starts, centrifugal weights move the special cam, releasing the exhaust valve to run normally.
Internal cam spring and centrifugal compression releases may or may not have adjustment. Check your shop manual.
All cable activated compression releases need about one to three millimeters of free play. Check for this play when the cables are in the relaxed position. In other words when the compression releases are not activated. If there is no play in the cables, the exhaust valve may be held open. If the engine will run at all it will run with poor engine performance and this running will cause the valve seats to burn out.
Some of the three and four wheel ATVs have a lever operated compression release located right on the cylinder head.
If you engine does not have a compression release it sometimes is possible to add an aftermarket one. This may require you to remove the cylinder head, machine a hole and trim some cooling fins. Take care where you put this hole. The compression release will vent hot gases if used when the engine is hot. If the hot gases hit a painted surface it will ruin the paint. There are also aftermarket compression releases that require no machining but they are bigger in size. These aftermarket compression releases are usually fitted to modified Harley-Davidson engines.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the better version of yourself is unattainable, out of reach, or a fantasy. You can improve yourself and reach your potential. It is not impossible or far-fetched. Begin by caring for yourself and achieving balance in various aspects of your life.
According to Psychology Today, a concept known as self-love is important to living well. It affects the way you see the world and how you cope with the world’s challenges. The state of loving oneself involves engaging in actions that support physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Caring for oneself is vital when setting and achieving personal and professional goals.
Gym membership. Join a traditional gym and commit to a certain schedule per week. This is a great way to begin if you haven’t exercised in some time because you can go at your own pace.
Try a new sport. Find out if your local recreation center has adult sports teams you can join. Joining a team sport can not only provide some fun social interaction in a new setting, but it helps people commit to schedule.
Try out a class. There are many schools and academies in your area that offer free classes to try out their programs. Sign up for a free dance class, martial arts lesson, or yoga session. Trying it out beforehand will give you a taste of what to expect.
LiveScience recommends starting off slow and gradually working your way up. Make sure to be honest about your current fitness level to avoid injury, and set goals for yourself to stay motivated.
Loving yourself also means staying away from behavior and substances that harm you. Exercise has recently emerged as a great companion to addiction recovery. The National Institute of Health cites that aerobic exercise can help people that abuse illicit drugs. Physical activity releases endorphins in the brain which produce a “high” feeling and help in restoring a balance in the brain. It aids in promoting feelings of positivity, improved mood, and better sleep.
Meal planning: Take one day a week for bulk cooking, and freeze portions that you can eat throughout the week. Make sure your meals are well balanced with protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Plan trips to the store: Do not shop while hungry. Plan your grocery trips, follow the list based on your meal plans, and do not buy junk food or sugary stuff.
Eat anti-inflammatory foods: Inflammation is a generator of pain, infections, injuries, and bad moods. Eat a diet high in Omega 3 fatty acids to ward off inflammation and stay away from refined carbohydrates like french fries.
The source of many people’s unhappiness often stems from a sense of unfulfillment. People give up on their passions for a variety of reasons. Generally people who pursue their hobbies and passions are happier and more productive. So don’t be afraid to pursue the hobby that keeps you happy and engaged.
A big part of caring for yourself is to spoil yourself when you achieve a goal or are successful in a particular area of your life. Treat yourself to a massage, visit a spa, or update your wardrobe. Small little acts of kindness toward yourself keep you motivated by providing positive reinforcement that keeps you disciplined and focused.
The best version of you is waiting to be be unleashed. Write down your goals and commit to them on paper. As you cross things off your list, you’ll find yourself feeling empowered and confident to take anything on. This year, reach your better self through a little self-care, discipline, and consistency.

Looking to watch the NCAA Frozen Four and Championship live and for free online? In this post, we’ll explain how to stream the Frozen Four and NCAA Championship matches from anywhere with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
This year’s Frozen Four games will take place on April 11, at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. There’ll be two games: Minnesota-Duluth vs. Providence at 5PM EST (2PM PST / 10PM BST) and UMass vs. Denver at 8:30 PM EST (5:30 PM PST / 1:30 AM BST). Two days later, the winners of these fixtures will face off in the NCAA Division I Championship. Can’t make it in person? No problem; below, we’ll let you know how to stream the 2019 Frozen Four and Championship for free, from the comfort of your own home.
You should note that we’ll only be recommending official sources. Unlicensed streams are almost inevitable for major sporting events, but they offer a far inferior experience. Their video is often only available in low resolutions, and there may be a significant delay. Further, these streams can be taken offline for copyright violation at any moment, meaning you might not even get to see the end of the game. These games will be available for free anyway, so there’s no need to resort to unreliable, unauthorized streams.
To watch these games for free, you’ll have to use a VPN unless you’re in the US.
Start by signing up for a suitable VPN. We recommend ExpressVPN but NordVPN and CyberGhost are strong, low-cost alternatives.
Next, download and install the VPN app. There will be a few different versions, so make sure to get the right one for your device.
Connect to a VPN server in the relevant country. You’d use an American server to unblock ESPN abroad, for instance, or a Canadian server for TSN.
Try playing a video on your chosen service. In most cases, it’ll begin almost instantly, but if not, clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then refresh the page.
The NCAA Frozen Four and Championship games will be streamed live. As such, it’s important to test your VPN with the steps above well before the first game begins. This way, you’ll know of any issues in advance, which gives you plenty of time to get help from your VPN’s customer support team. This approach also prevents you from missing the start of a game due to unforeseen technical problems.
These games will be streamed live on ESPNU. If your cable TV package includes ESPN, you can log in and start watching right away at no added cost. Luckily, ESPN enables you to sign in with several over-the-top providers too, meaning you can still live stream the NCAA Frozen Four and Championship games if you don’t have cable TV.
Currently, DirecTV Now, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and YouTube TV all offer access to ESPN. These services are fairly expensive (ranging from $25–50 USD per month), but they all come with a free trial that’s long enough to watch all three games. This means that as long as you remember to cancel once the tournament is over, you won’t be charged.
All of the platforms above are region-locked, meaning you’ll need a VPN to use them from outside of the US. Additionally, most of them require you to sign up with a payment method linked to a US address. However, some, like Hulu, allow you to pay via gift card. This means you can effectively sign up from anywhere. Need a VPN? ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can stream the Frozen Four completely risk-free.
Where else can I watch the NCAA Frozen Four and Championship online?
TSN has exclusive broadcasting rights to this tournament in Canada. While the first two games are available online and on traditional TV, the Championship will only be streamed via the TSN website and TSN app. If you have cable TV (and your package includes TSN), you can sign in and watch every game live online.
Don’t have cable? TSN also offers online-only passes, which cost $4.99 CAD per day or $19.99 per month. Unfortunately, this service doesn’t offer any kind of free trial. Further, it only accepts payment methods linked to a Canadian address. This makes it very difficult for foreign users to sign up, although Canadians in other countries can still register as normal.
As TSN is geo-restricted, you’ll have to either be in Canada or connected to a Canadian VPN server in order to watch anything.
British hockey fans can watch the NCAA Division I Championship and semifinals live on BT Sport. Unfortunately, this network is notorious for purchasing exclusive broadcasting rights and forcing those without BT TV to pay extra. Additionally, as BT Sport doesn’t offer online-only passes, it effectively prevents users who don’t have cable TV from watching this event in the UK.
Of course, this isn’t an issue if you’re already a BT customer since you can log in and stream the whole event online. If you’re with Sky, Virgin, or TalkTalk, however, you can expect to pay £29.99 per month with no trial period. Once subscribed, you’ll be able to stream all three games using the Sky Go, Virgin TV Go, or TalkTalk TV app.
BT Sport is only available in the UK. Remember that if you usually live elsewhere, you can access streaming services from your home country using a VPN.
These games will be shown on ESPN in Australia. Fetch and Foxtel customers can stream them live online, at no extra cost, with the WatchESPN or Foxtel Go apps. Minnesota-Duluth vs. Providence and UMass vs. Denver will air live at 7AM and 10:30 AM AEST, respectively, while the Championship game will be broadcast a few hours after it finishes, at 4:30 PM.
If you don’t have cable TV, you can sign up for Foxtel Now instead. Normally, you’d pay $40 AUD per month for the required channel packs, but the base subscription ($25 per month) comes with a 10-day free trial. During this period, you’ll have access to every channel Foxtel offers, including ESPN. As such, you can sign up, stream the Frozen Four and Championship games, then cancel to effectively watch it all for free.
Fetch and Foxtel Now are geo-restricted, meaning you’ll need a VPN to use them abroad. Additionally, Foxtel Now requires you to enter an Australian phone number during registration, which makes it difficult to sign up unless you usually live in Australia.
Depending on where you live, you may be able to watch the 2019 Frozen Four and NCAA Championship games on your local ESPN channel. There are over a dozen of these catering to users in Japan, the Caribbean, South America, and Southeast Asia, and in some locations, you can even watch the games live. It’s worth noting that while these may be broadcast late at night in your country, they should be made available on-demand the following day, allowing you to watch at a more convenient time.
At the moment, Minnesota-Duluth are the favorites to win, and for good reason. They’re the defending champions, and this year marks their third Frozen Four in a row. Plus, if they beat Providence, they’ll have made it to the final three years straight. The Bulldogs are on a hot streak at the moment, with six consecutive wins (including one over Denver), so they’re sure to put up a good fight.
Providence won’t go down easily, though. They’ve only made it to the Frozen Four two other times since 1985, so they’re likely to give this one everything they’ve got. The Friars excel at playing the long game, usually starting slow and finishing with a flurry of shots in the third period. Of course, they’ll have to adapt and put up a strong defense early on to keep the Bulldogs at bay.
Both the Denver Pioneers and the UMass Minutemen have played well this year, with each team taking just two losses since March 1. However, Denver have won two of the last three games played against UMass. Assuming Minnesota-Duluth beat Providence, Denver have a real shot at the championship, as they’ve won eight of their last ten games against the Bulldogs. UMass are known for their long passes, though, and if Denver aren’t careful, they could find themselves constantly on the back foot, particularly if they press forward too far.
3 Where else can I watch the NCAA Frozen Four and Championship online?

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee forward Lou Brown has torn her anterior cruciate ligament in preseason practice.
Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick announced Brown's injury Friday and said the Washington State graduate transfer is out indefinitely Warlick said the injury occurred Wednesday.
Warlick said in a statement that "while she may be out of action due to this unfortunate injury, I would not be surprised to see Lou still find a way to impact this team in a positive manner as she goes through the recovery process."
Brown, a 6-foot-3 forward from Melbourne, Australia, started 23 games for Washington State last season and averaged 6.4 points and a team-high 6 rebounds.
Tennessee opens the 2018-19 campaign Nov. 11 against Presbyterian after going 25-8 and reaching the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.

Life insurance is something that most people consider at some point in their life. However, it can be difficult to really determine if you need it and if you do, how much you actually need. It is also something that many people do not want to think about very often but it can be necessary. Before you go out and purchase life insurance, use these questions to help determine how much you need and if you should purchase it right now.
Do you have debt? If you have a substantial amount of debt to pay for, then you may want to get enough life insurance to cover the costs so that someone in your family does not have to take on the burden after you pass.
Do you have family members who rely on your salary to survive? If you are responsible for taking care of someone, whether it is a spouse, a child, or a parent, then you will want to make sure you have enough life insurance to take care of them in the case that you were no longer there. Make sure you have enough to take care of them until they can get back on their feet.
Do you have money to take care of funeral arrangements? After you die, if you are wanting a funeral, to be buried, or even be cremated, then you should make sure you have enough money in your life insurance policy to pay for those expenses so someone doesn’t have to do it for you.
If you would like to look at your options for your life insurance, you should contact us at Colling Insurance Services, Inc. It can be difficult to figure out the right amount and we would be happy to explore all of your options with you.

Home field advantage in the grandest stage of them all, the World Series, is at stake when the National League meets the American League every July.
Recently, the American League was dominating the All-Star game, providing the winner of their pennant with a much needed advantage. Lately, however, the National League has regained the prize as it has won each of the last two games.
out of the potential seven games at home.
Any Cardinal fan would definitely say it is. Ranger fans would surely disagree.
What if the shoe was on the other foot, however?
Surely the perspectives would be switched.
It is easy to understand why Commissioner Selig would add such allurement to this game.
The game counts, therefore fans are interested in the outcome.

worthless display of the talent that we already knew the players’ had?
playoff contention can decide the fate of those who are.
Milwaukee Brewers hit the decisive three-run homerun against C.J. Wilson of the World Series contending Texas Rangers.
As stated before, Wilson’s Rangers had to start the series on the road.
In my opinion, the game should definitely not count.
even rules differ from one league to the other.
