...and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals. The main objective of my project of this term is to build up a recovery program for athletes. That is what I am gonna try to study into the basics. Sport is not only about performance, there is a lot of other factors that influence the performance, from the psychological aspect to the physiological condition. The recovery phase and rest is one of the main subject that help to improve athlete s performance. Human is not a machine, we all need rest to restart our body again to reach the performance we want. Rest is not only behind higher performance, recovery periods prevent injuries that are caused by overtraining or a trauma. My project is about recovery program for a specific athlete, and how it can influence his performance. I try to build up a recovery program for him, that is suitable for his possibilities and capacities. I ve chosen Tiago Luz as my client. He is a basketball player, high level athlete though. He trains 4 / 5 times per week, in addition he has match almost every week. The goal of my recovery program for my client is to help to repair muscles and to rebuild them after workout. I will do with Tiago 4 weeks recovery program. First week we start with stretching where I will try to...

...have a Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan for big companies and businesses is very important. Having this can save a company and ruin without it. There are many factors for a network to shut down or malfunction. National disasters and man-made disasters can always happen and to have such plan will at least guarantee a company to continuously running in a productive way. There are so many vendors out there who promote backup and recovery solutions in case of emergency. A company should always assess what their needs in case of an emergency and should always see if their chosen vendor can provide them with the service that they need. For a business to have a concise and useful recovery plan they should always focus on the problems that are likely to occur. “Focusing your plan on disaster results means contemplating problems such as loss of a single server, loss of the entire server room, loss of all of the customer service workstation computers, and so forth, without worrying about the possible disasters that might cause those results” (Hallberg, p. 163). A company should first assess the needs that the plan must meet. Identifying the needs of the company will not only give them a clear vision of what the plan must address, but also which other people from the different parts of the company should be involve in the planning process. Knowing the root of the problem is the first step in solving the problem. When planning for backup and disaster recovery plan one should consider different...

...Introducing Transaction Log Files Each SQL Server 2000 database has at least one transaction log file and can have multiple transaction log files spread across a number of disks. Each transaction log file is a separate operating system file and is used by only one database. Each transaction log file generally has the .ldf filename extension (this extension is not required). Each transaction log has a logical filename that is used in Transact-SQL statements and a physical filename that is used by the Windows operating system. Additional file properties include the file ID number, initial file size, file growth increment (if any), and maximum file size. Unlike data files that contain pages, transaction log files contain a series of transaction log records. A sequential log sequence number (LSN) identifies each transaction log record. Regardless of the number of physical log files, SQL Server 2000 treats the transaction log as one continuous log. SQL Server 2000 logically divides each physical transaction log file into a number of virtual log files (VLFs). The number and size of virtual log files are determined dynamically based on the size of each transaction log file. Each transaction log file has at least two VLFs. Each growth increment (if any) is treated as a separate physical file with its own VLFs. The number or size of VLFs cannot be configured or set directly by the database administrator. SQL Server 2000 tries to maintain a small number of virtual file logs because it...

...SHAM Section B- AA1- Sculling Strokes - Inconsistent hand heights on recovery! B2 - Technical Model! ! ! ! Elite Technical Model of Performer- Mahe Drysdale! ! In a competitive situation, the consistency of hand heights is important as it is an important factor in determining whether a boat will be sat or not. The most important factor in having a balanced boat through the recovery phase is to have consistent hand heights through the boat. Especially in a competitive situation where the rate per minute is typically high. Mahe Drysdale is a very experienced sculler from New Zealand, who is a current olympic champion with 5 word champion titles in a single scull. Despite Mahe’s age of 34 at that time, he is still a world champion not just because of his experience and amount of training, but also due to the fact that he is very consistent on the water. His consistent blade heights allows him for an early catch, which allows him to take full advantage of a stroke. In the 2012 olympics, Mahe finished first with a close 3/4 length lead to 30 year old Czech Republic single sculler Ondřej Synek. ! ! ! Preparation! To prepare going up the slide, the performer should be sat at the finish with both legs extended, body slightly leaning back. Both oars should be drawn into the chest feathered. ! ! ! Execution! Blade height can only be judged during the recovery phase. Therefore the recovery phase starts with the full extension of the arms, pushing the oars...

...information. Personal computers often contain critical information so make sure they are all on backups. Identify critical documents. Articles of incorporation and other legal papers, utility bills, banking information, building lease papers, tax returns, you need to have everything available that would be necessary to start your business over again. A business impact analysis (BIA) predicts the consequences of disruption of a business function and process and gathers information needed to develop recovery strategies. Potential loss scenarios should be identified during a risk assessment. Identifying and evaluating the impact of disasters on business provides the basis for investment in recovery strategies as well as mitigation strategies. If a disaster was ever to happen there are steps that need to be taken. Having backups of everything on multiple hard drives with all the essential data. If there was to be a fire or a natural disaster the hard drives would be safe in the hands of higher up employees. If the natural disaster did happen and it ruined...

...In the field of information technology, data loss refers to the unforeseen loss of data or information. An occurrence of data loss can be called a Data Loss Event and there are several possible root causes. Backup and recovery schemes are developed to restore lost data. Data loss must be distinguished from data unavailability, such as may arise from a network outage. Although the two have substantially similar effects, data unavailability is temporary while data loss is permanent. Data loss is also distinct from data spill, although the term "data loss" has been sometimes used in those incidents. Data loss incidents can, however, be also data spill incidents, in case media containing sensitive information is lost and subsequently acquired by another party. However, data spills are possible without the data being lost in the originating side. In Information Technology, a backup or the process of backing up refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. The verb form is back up in two words, whereas the noun is backup (often used like an adjective in compound nouns).[1] Backups have two distinct purposes. The primary purpose is to recover data as a reaction to data loss, be it by data deletion or corrupted data. Data loss is a very common experience of computer users. 67% of internet users have suffered serious data loss.[2] The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from a historical period...

...Recovery Commentary: With the Passage of Time The Voices of Recovery book have many stories, but this story answered a lot of my questions about recovery. In "With the passage of Time" it covered points from parents being called and being informed that their child is in a psychotic place 3,000 miles away, to clients being able to establish goals and talents they wanted to accomplish. In the story, I learned that someone who I would call patient was actually being called clients, I found that interested because in all my other papers for school I always say "Patient" or "individual" moving, forward I now know they should be called clients. In this story, they talked about newly hired psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and how they all have one thing in common and tat is being blinded by what was to come with the...

...“Beep, beep, beep”, I pushed off from the gate and began my descent down the hill. The top air and moguls was executed flawlessly. I began to pick up speed through the middle section of the moguls and was preparing for the bottom air. As I pushed of the jump, I started my trick, but immediately knew I wasn’t going to end up landing on my skis. I hit the snow with a thump, and I instantly felt a rush of pain. Crying out in fear that I was hurt, the ski patrol rushed to my side. I couldn’t tell if I was actually hurt or if I just had the wind knocked out of me. As a precaution I was taken to the hospital, where I would soon find out my fate. After getting x-rays and an MRI, the doctor came in with the news. He pulled up his stool and began talking. After hearing that I had a broken back, I tuned out the...

...Marius Terblanche 17621194 Assingment: Athletics 1.Technical model of sprinting 1.1 Good leg recovery The most recent support leg swings past the sprinters body (the recovery). After the foot comes of the ground the heel comes up to create a shorter pendulum for faster recovery. It should not bend at the knee so much that your heel kicks your butt, i.e. full knee flexion shouldn’t occur. High heels at the back is a sign of poor technique. Remember we are after front side mechanics not back side mechanics. The thigh comes up parallel to the hips before the shin begins to extend. The recovery foot steps up and over the drive knee as the foot takes the shortest path to the front of the body as the center of mass rises above the surface. The recovery is almost like a cycling motion. 1.2 High knee lift Consciously lifting the knee high while sprinting inhibits the legs natural timing during the recovery phase. This will cause a reduction in force and slower movement. The knee lift should happen quickly to horizontal. Knee of the swing leg moves forwards and upwards to continue drive and increase stride length. The swing legs knee action should occur naturally as the hip flexor goes back into normal position. 1.3 Active foot strike The forward foot should be directly under the lead knee. The foot touching the ground is making contact just in front of the body. Sprinting is a pulling ,pushing and jumping action. Sprinters run on the balls of there feet. As your lead...

...management information system (MIS), will greatly improve the chances for the business operations to run smoothly. Behind the scenes of an MIS are three strong plans that if used properly, will be highly effective in protecting a business from failing. The plans are backup and recovery, disaster recovery and a business continuity plan. Having a backup and recovery plan is essential if you want to protect information that may potentially be lost due to system failure. A backup is referring to just that; a backup. It will duplicate the exact information for that system. Recovery is the ability to get the system up and running again, including the backup. These two plans will ensure that if a system does happen to fail, the transition process will be smooth. It is also, in a business’ best interest to practice backup quite often. That will ensure the most up to date information being stored and saved. With natural disasters occurring every day, a business must always prepare for the worst. That is why having a disaster recovery plan is critical to ensure the business isn’t halted for hours, days or weeks. A disaster recovery plan is a plan to basically be able to get back to work after a disaster. This includes recovering information, recovering the system, and having a new location already set for you to get the ball rolling again. Most organizations have either a hot cite, warm site, or cold site. A hot site, which is a separate facility with...
