In either case, begin with the stretching. If your calves are tight, you will walk with a shorter stride forcing you to lead with your nose and not your belly button. Tight calves, hard feet, and hard shoes all contribute to a shorter stride. A shorter stride leads to walking from the upper quads increasing the workloa... |
The next step is not being able to extend your abs due to the pelvis tilting forward, therefore the weight of the head causes the shoulders to round in to support the head and as you can see, it is a cascading effect from the foot to the head. |
In past, I have given you the stretches for the quads, calves, and inner thighs. I have also given the stretch for the front of the neck in past newsletters. I would re-visit some of those older newsletters for help or contact me and I will send them to you. Today, I will give you two stretches for the outer chest, but... |

OpenGL/DirectX support in Vista? |
Thinking about a project I am working on and wether we need to create a interface for both DX9 and DX10 for our rendering engine since we are also going to have OGL support(mainly for Mac/Linux). I was thinking that we did not need DirectX9 support becuase OGL can support the cards(I think only 2 support it last i hear... |
Vista supports all three APIs just fine. |
The OpenGL forum has a big sticky thread on this; GL 1.5 is fully natively supported on Vista, so you'll still have to do the extensions dance you do on XP, but it should work perfectly. |
Some of the common OpenGL extensions are not supported by "out-of-the-box" graphics drivers shipped with Vista, i.e. users would have to download and install latest video drivers provided by NVIDIA/ATI to be able to run an application that uses such extensions. Also, Aero can sometimes interfere with OGL application. I... |
It would just be nice, and save time if we did not have to support DX9, that would be one less interface to build for the rendering engine. |
Also I don't see the sticky about OGL and Vista in the OGL forums, can someone link it? |
You seem to have more than a little confusion on the topic... |
Vista supports D3D10, D3D9L, previous versions of Direct3D through a light emulation layer, and has built-in OpenGL 1.5 support through a similar emulation layer. It also supports Native OpenGL support through your video card's drivers. Basically, use whatever you like. |
Many of the D3D10 features are exposed on non-Vista operating systems through OpenGL extensions, so its possible to use D3D10 features on Windows XP, for example. |
I could of swear the DX10 is not supported on XP, is that wrong? |
This is true. What ravyne2001 is describing is, features in DX10 which are also exposed through the OpenGL driver are available for use by accessing them via the extensions functionality in OGL. |
Specifically, accessing the DirectX 10 interface in XP is not supported by Microsoft. However, the Alky project exists to combat this heavy-handed tactic. |
Well as it was just pointed out to me, Xbox360 only support DX9 and we want out engine to support XBOX360 so we need to develop a DX9 interface anyways.<eot>In a recent case, the District Court awarded a gentleman around $68,000.00 as a consequence of being pepper sprayed unlawfully and then having been detained at the... |

The Internal Revenue Service has capitulated and dropped proposed regulations after charities from the American Red Cross to the YMCA bombarded the agency with negative comments. The rules, proposed out of the blue in September, would have established a new reporting regime to substantiate gifts to charity of over $250... |
As the controversy started brewing with 12,000 comments submitted, I wrote about it, asking, Is IRS Tax ID Proposal Kiss Of Death For Charities? In the preamble to the proposed regulations, Substantiation Requirement For Certain Contributions, the IRS noted the risk of identity theft because the charities would be coll... |
The number of comments exploded to 38,000 by the Dec. 16 deadline; the National Council of Nonprofits chimes in here; joint comments of the nonprofit community, with 215 signers, are here. “If the current system works and only a few are interested, when the costs, burdens, and harm to the public so great, then we see n... |
215 charities from the American Red Cross to the YMCA filed a joint comment letter opposing the... [+] proposed IRS regulations. |
The brouhaha even led to a House Bill, the Charitable Giving Privacy Protection Act, introduced Dec. 17 to prevent the rules from being implemented by prohibiting the inclusion of social security numbers of donors in charitable contribution substantiation acknowledgements. Conservative advocacy group Freedom Works Foun... |
The proposed rules would have permitted a charity to file a special “information return” that a donor could use to substantiate a charitable contribution of $250 or more—in lieu of the standard “contemporaneous written acknowledgement” letter charities issue acknowledging donations. The new form, which would have been ... |
What prompted the IRS proposal? Some big donors made gifts, and on audit they didn’t have a receipt (no receipt, no deduction), so they invoked a never-enacted regulatory exception to the receipt rule: a receipt isn’t required if the charity files a return to the IRS listing the donation on a special form. No such form... |
With the proposed regulations the IRS was trying to give these donors an out--only the idea backfired. The Withdrawal Notice states that in response to all those comments, the Treasury and the IRS have decided against implementing the statutory exception to the contemporaneous written acknowledgement requirement, makin... |
Bottom line: There are bright line rules for substantiating charitable donations, and you have to follow them. |
Are loyalty programs worth the cost? According to research by Citi, the answer is a resounding yes. As the company transformed its rewards program and analyzed customer preferences, it found that modern customers are more loyal and valuable when they participate in a loyalty program with a great experience. |
Mary Hines Droesch, Head of Customer Engagement and Innovation at Citi Cards, aims to deliver a seamless experience across all customer touch points. Customer loyalty programs are critical, especially in the retail and financial services spaces. What started in the 1980s for airlines and was often viewed as an unnecess... |
However, not all loyalty programs are created equal. When Hines started with Citi in 2012, customers had to call the company or use a website to redeem their points. Now, the vast majority of customers redeem their points through a mobile app for intuitive and convenient access to their rewards. Citi’s research also fo... |
In many ways, customer loyalty programs reflect customer experience as a whole. Customers want resources that are accessible and applicable. They don’t want to go out of their way or jump through hoops to access a loyalty program. They also want personalized offers. Citi’s survey found that 95% of customers who are enr... |
Customer engagement has a huge impact on loyalty. Providing a seamless and forward-thinking rewards program that is driven by digital can create a band of loyal customers who provide incredible value to a brand. Engaging with customers and getting more of their loyalty drives the bottom line and creates a company that ... |

In the middle of the 19th century in Kršan was found in the "Istrian Book of Boundaries"- mediaeval document containing details of literacy and the way of living in this area. The main church was built in 17 th century, by the walls of Kršan castle and it is called St Anton. |

Testing times in Streatham (and beyond) |
With COVID-19 cases on the rise across the UK, more and more constituents have written to me to complain that they cannot get a test. The week schools returned saw a particular influx of emails from people who were showing symptoms and either struggling to access testing or being sent to unfeasibly distant test centres... |
Shockingly, and despite reassurances to the contrary from the government, local key workers are clearly no exception to these issues with teachers and doctors among those reporting they cannot access testing. When testing is stretched so thin that it's stopping our public servants doing their vital work, it's clear som... |
Observing the rollout of the Government's outsourced test and trace system over the past few months has been like witnessing a slow car crash. After months of Ministers promising us a working NHS test and trace system, what we got was an outsourced mess cobbled together by corner-cutting private companies, some of them... |
The crisis in testing is symptomatic of wider government failures to provide people with the policies they need to stay safe during the pandemic. As with public health, so with the economy. As we head into winter, people around the country are really struggling. The chancellor's most recent statement failed to tackle t... |
The lesson of the pandemic is that nobody's safe until everyone is. We must continue to oppose the Government's reckless attempt to parcel up NHS services to for-profit advisers. The ability of Tory donors to make money from public services should never come ahead of patient care or service quality.<eot>Quick Answer: C... |

Lt. Gen. John W. "Jay" Raymond, commander, 14th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic) and Joint Functional Component Command for Space, presided over the change of command ceremony. |
"Brig. Gen. Monteith has the leadership, intellect, and operational depth to lead this wing to even greater heights, and I have seen firsthand, the strength of his leadership," said Raymond. "I am confident that the stellar success of the 45th Space Wing will continue to thrive under his leadership." |
Monteith, who most recently served as the Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, was promoted to Brigadier General last March, and now assumes command from Brig. Gen. Nina Armagno, who's commanded the 45th Space Wing since June 2013 and has since been selected for promotion to Major General. |
Armagno is now reassigned to serve as Director of Strategic Plans & Requirements at Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado. |
"This job here has been the greatest opportunity, challenge and experience, all at the same time; I've had in my two-plus decades of Air Force Service," said Armagno. "Growing up and going to school outside of Chicago, and then attending the Air Force Academy, I could only dream I would have been selected to lead the m... |
"I hope to leverage the tremendous success of Gen. Armagno and Team Patrick," said Monteith. "My focus will be on taking care of our people, successfully accomplishing the mission, and continuing to build on the great relationship with our community partners. I want to personally thank you for taking care of our Total ... |
