![]() With music, however, training is easier, so it happens earlier. According to some research, two to three weeks are enough for the organism to acquire the habit of exercising. However, if you decide to force yourself to go anyway and conduct workout with music, things will already be different. Of course, if you get up in the morning and turn on the music, your body won’t head to the gym by itself. That’s why exercising and music go hand in hand. What’s obvious is that the motivation to work out sometimes isn’t strong enough. Wait 128 BPM (Maroon 5 Covered) song by Maxence Luchi now on JioSaavn. Well, it dawns but that gym somehow inextricably merges with tomorrow, so that when that tomorrow turns into today, everything we talked about and planned – evaporates. “As of tomorrow, I’m going to the gym.” How many times have you said this sentence or heard someone say it? However, it’s somehow a fact that “tomorrow” never dawns. “Hello” by Adele (158 BPM) With Music, It Will Be Easier for You to Start Exercising From Scratch But, if you think that the strong tempo of the songs will have positive effects on your workout, try these songs: It’s also believed that music over 140 BPM won’t have a positive impact on training. “One Kiss” by Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa (124 BPM)Īs mentioned, professional athletes who train with high intensity won’t benefit much with music in training.If you’re preparing a list for a medium-intensity workout, choose a pace of songs of 120-140 BPM. ![]()

In 2017, the PUC approved a four-year rate deal for Xcel Energy that raised residential rates by 10.6%. ![]() The new rate case would be Xcel's second multi-year rate case since the state legislature allowed them in 2015. ![]() That would partially fund a program that calls for rebates of $100 million for electrified public transportation and $50 million for cars and light trucks over 10 years. In the new rate case, Xcel is asking for $6 million to $22 million annually for electric vehicle rebates originally proposed in mid-2020 as part of a COVID economic recovery package, a PUC filing said. She was also skeptical of Xcel's rate case request to bump its allowed return-on-equity (ROE) from 9.06% to 10.2%Ĭlark said the higher ROE is "reflective of changing conditions in the market." Levenson-Falk said that while it's good that Xcel is investing in renewables and related infrastructure, it appears that ratepayers would pay a disproportionate share of the tab - compared to the company's shareholders. "Most of the investments we are making are really driven by aging infrastructure," Clark said. The company says the rate increase will allow it to lead "the clean energy transition" and to create an advanced electricity distribution grid. utilities to announcement goals of 100 % carbon-free power by 2050. Xcel is a leading wind power provider, and it was one of the first U.S. "At the end of the day, we are asking for the same amount of money under each proposal," said Amy Liberkowski, Xcel's director of regulatory pricing and analysis. However, the trade-off in the alternative is a significantly higher interim charge on residents' bills in the second year. Under the alternative proposal, the average residential customer would see $1.22 added to their average monthly bill on Jan. "We need some certainty on the second year," Clark said. It cuts the first-year price increase – but only if the PUC approves a second-year interim hike at the same time. So this time around, Xcel also made an "alternative" interim rate proposal. It has done so in the past, too, but the PUC has declined to grant the request immediately, asking Xcel to come back a year later. In its PUC filing Monday, Xcel also requested an interim rate increase for 2023. Overall rates increases requested by utilities are often higher than what the PUC eventually allows. That interim increase would add $4.08 cents to the average customer's monthly bill.Ĭustomers get refunds if a final rate hike is lower than the interim increase allowed by the PUC. Xcel is asking the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve an interim rate increase of 9.4 % - or $288.3 million - that would start Jan. Rate cases typically take 18 months or so to adjudicate, though utilities request and usually receive permission for interim rate hikes. Xcel says its average residential bill - currently $86.87 - is below the national average. "When we talk with the consumer to help them with their overall financial picture, these things all go together," Levenson-Falk said. And Minnesota's largest natural gas utilities - CenterPoint and Xcel - are both planning to file for rate increases next week. Meanwhile, Minnesota natural gas customers have just begun paying off a $660 million bill caused by a historic price run-up after a devastating winter storm in Texas. Natural gas prices are about 75 % higher than a year ago - just as the winter heating season is beginning. Oil prices have hit seven-year highs, pushing up motor fuel costs. ![]() Escalating inflation in general is affecting costs for food and general household supplies. She noted, too, that consumers are already being battered by rising energy costs. "To see a rate increase in the neighborhood of 20% - that is really large," said Annie Levenson-Falk, executive director of the Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota, an advocacy group for residential ratepayers. The amount of the proposed rate hike, however, could come as a shock. Its residential customers have had stable rates for the past two years. Xcel is by far the state's largest electricity provider, with 1.3 million customers. Minneapolis-based Xcel filed for the rate increase with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, which must approve any increase. "It's really focused on the poles and wires part of our business and making the necessary infrastructure investments." ![]() "This is a pretty straightforward rate case," said Chris Clark, Xcel's president for Minnesota and the Dakotas. With the rate hike, the company's average residential customers would see a 19% increase in their electricity bills from 2022 through 2024 - or on average $15 to $21 per month cumulatively. Xcel Energy on Monday proposed an electricity rate increase of 21.2%, or $677.4 million, over three years, with just more than half hitting Minnesotans' pocketbooks in 2022. Ada begins the family meeting by presenting the bullet dug out of Finn’s arm, questioning what happened. When they arrive, many of the customers thank the Peaky Blinders for what they have done for them, and Tommy offers all of the customers a free drink, inviting them to ignore what they have heard in the papers. Tommy and his family make their way to the Garrison and are noticed by a small boy, who warns the pub that the Peaky Blinders are on their way. Tommy asks for permission to present his idea to the board, which is approved by Arthur much to his wife’s dismay, who leaves the meeting at this point. When Tommy arrives, he reveals that while a large portion of Shelby Company funds have been invested in America, there is hope. However Polly suggests that they should perhaps wait for Tommy, with Linda stating that Arthur is now Chairman of the Board and therefore does not need to wait for Tommy. Down by the river, Tommy drinks from a small vial and begins to hallucinate visions of his former wife, Grace.Īt the board meeting, Arthur explains the situation unfolding before them. Tommy sends Lizzie back to Birmingham and advises Arthur to call a full meeting with the board of directors for the following day at noon as he needs to think. Tommy is angry as he warned Michael that it would happen, but Michael was advised to hold on as the prices would rebound. Arthur arrives just at the moment when the horse is being buried, showing Tommy the newspaper that reads of the Wall Street Crash. Tommy attempts to explain this to Charles, but Charles admits that he has heard it is what Tommy does, not just to horses but to people too. In the country, Tommy struggles with Charles, who has heard that he shot a horse but does not understand that the horse was in pain and could not be treated by the vet. Ada enters the room when the bullet is being removed, warning Finn that they are to stay out of Peaky Business from now on as Tommy has power and the Shelby’s have money - they do not need to be the people they were in the past. Aberama brings Finn to Ada’s house, revealing a bullet wound in Finn’s arm, which Aberama removes with the blade from Isiah’s Peaky cap. While he warns her off, she insists that she returns home with him to meet his family.Īt the Angels of Retribution headquarters, Finn struggles with the idea of killing, while Aberama kills many of the people in the building, reciting that “Now you’ve heard of us”. Polly orders that the pilot she is sleeping with takes her straight to Birmingham, not London, while Michael instructs his new spouse, Gina, that they must leave immediately for England. Arthur reveals the news to Polly, who is shocked and confused. ![]() He calls Arthur, asking for Tommy, warning him to tell the news that they have lost everything due to the crash of the stock exchange. Meanwhile in Detroit at the Shelby Company office, Michael receives the unsettling call that Wall St has crashed, sending him into a craze. Despite Tommy warning Finn to stay out of the business, Finn accompanies Aberama and Isaiah. In retaliation, Tommy calls Finn, instructing Aberama and Isiah to introduce themselves to the Angels. Arthur receives a letter from the “Angels of Retribution” denying them the insurance that they have asked for on the account that they have never heard of the Peaky Blinders or the Shelby Family. It’s not long, however, before ghosts from Tommy’s past threaten to undermine his position. Meanwhile, Tommy’s political career is going from strength to strength he gives a rousing speech in the House of Commons. ![]() But the family are quickly brought back together when news of the Wall Street Crash hits and its implications for the family business become clear. 1929 – The Shelby family have dispersed: Michael is living at Shelby Company headquarters in Detroit, while Aunt Polly is holed up with a pilot in Monte Carlo. ![]() Our inspiration in designing The Tantra Chair was to introduce couples to a more conscious or Tantric lovemaking experience. ![]() Enjoy new and exciting sexual positions with ease and comfort. Recognized as the world’s most beautiful and functional sex furniture design, The Tantra Chair has been changing the lovemaking experience for forward-thinking couples since 2003. (Though it’s worth noting that best practices for impact play have come a long way since the days of the Kama Sutra - according to the Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health, you should avoid the face, feet, hands, breasts, lower legs, and genitals when engaging in heavy impact play, and stick to places with high fat and muscle content, like the thighs and buttocks.The Tantra Chair is the original, authentic Kama Sutra Divan designed to vastly enhance your lovemaking experience. Good places to lay hands on your lover? The shoulders, the head, the gap between the breasts, the back, the genital region, and the sides blows can be exchanged with the side of the hand, the palm of the open hand, the fist, and with the ends of the fingers joined (in case you were curious). More surprising? There’s a sort of proto-BDSM thing that gets outlined in the Kama Sutra, with a section on the basics of erotic hitting. No wait, I lied: "Impalement" is my actual favorite: “The woman places one foot on the boy’s head and, extending the other, allows herself to be penetrated.” The text notes that this position requires practice, which may be the most obvious statement ever uttered about a sex position. We'll be updating this post with more KamaSutra sex positions, so once you've mastered these, check back for more. Let’s take a look at the sex positions endorsed by the ancient tome. So what’s actually in the original Kama Sutra? A wide variety of stuff - including, yes, lots of sex positions. (Of course, given that this is a 2,000-year-old text, it’s very heteronormative - while queer sex and non-normative gender identities do make appearances in the text, the general assumption is that the reader’s primary sexual relationship will be a heterosexual one.)īut somewhere down the line (and probably due to more than a little orientalism), the non-sex parts of the Kama Sutra got forgotten, and the sex parts got expanded upon - and, in some cases, totally reinvented (shocking as it may seem, Vatsyayana did not write about sex acts involving detachable shower heads). Unlike the many hot-and-heavy sex manuals that bear its name, the original KamaSutra is philosophical text offering musings on how to have a rewarding life and fruitful relationships to the extent that it’s a sex manual, it’s mostly because it doesn’t shy away from the notion that sex (and interesting sex positions) is a healthy and normal part of life. If it seems strange that a 2,000-year-old text continues to carry such impact on our erotic imaginations, it gets even stranger when you realize that most of the Kama Sutra isn’t actually about sex. A number of outlets have used “Kama Sutra” to signify “crazy ways to do it,” from the (very earnest) Cosmo Kama Sutra to the (highly unauthorized) parody Star Wars Kama Sutra go to and you’ll find a company specializing in “luxury romance and intimacy products,” like edible body paints and dusts. In the modern era, the words “Kama Sutra” are a synonym for sex. ![]() A few thousand years ago, when Indian writer Vatsyayana was putting pen to paper and writing the text that would be known as the Kama Sutra, he couldn’t have foreseen the impact that his work would have on the world. ![]() Having evolved into a more creative central midfield force after his pace began to wane, Giggs was 35 when he won a second Premier League and Champions League double with the Red Devils and a year later, aged 36, was even named the PFA Player of the Year. Though fans may look back most fondly on memories of him as a precocious young winger, arguably his more impressive feats came in his later years. Ryan Giggs - Manchester UnitedĪ stellar 22-season career at the very top of the game, Giggs’ 963 appearances for Manchester United is a record that will most likely never be surpassed. He started another 37 games a season later as Leeds finished fifth. ![]() Though the club struggled in the inaugural season of the Premier League, Strachan dazzled, winning the club’s Player of the Year Award after a campaign that included a hat-trick against Blackburn. By 1992, he was captaining them to the old first division title. Manchester United fans may mock Leeds for selling them Eric Cantona but the same could be said of Strachan.ĭespite being the wrong side of 30 upon arrival in 1989, Strachan proved instrumental in getting Leeds back into the top flight in 1990. His greatest moment came in the Premier League though, courtesy of a superb 94th minute free kick winner against Everton from 44-yards out that proved crucial in helping Liverpool qualify for the Champions League. Gerard Houllier described the Bosman signing of the 35-year-old McAllister as his “most inspirational signing.” It’s difficult to disagree.ĭespite being sent off on his full debut against Arsenal, the Scot’s enduring class and experience proved key in helping Liverpool win an unprecedented treble of the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup, with Super Mac earning the Man of the Match award in the latter. Sidelined for the final few weeks with injury, he still helped United win the EFL Cup and Europa League. By February he had racked up 15 Premier League goals, becoming the oldest player to do so at the age of 35 years and 125 days. Not Zlatan, of course, who confidently declared he would become a “God of Manchester.” Hyperbole aside, Ibrahimovic lived up to the billing, scoring the winner in the Community Shield and on his Premier League debut. Gary Speed - Bolton WanderersĪfter four seasons with PSG, some questioned whether a veteran Ibrahimovic was still up to the challenge of the Premier League. Yet arguably his best came in his final few years at the club including a rasping volley from the edge of the area against Tottenham when he was 36, and another belter against Reading a year later. The Turk was never one for doing things by halves either with almost every one of his 13 goals for Blackburn being an absolute screamer. Tugay was already a cult hero at Ewood Park by the time he turned 35, operating as something akin to a Turkish Socrates in that he was often the best player on the pitch despite his 20-a-day smoking habit. Another 12 league goals followed a year later before Sheringham headed to Harry Redknapp’s Portsmouth. 10 Premier League goals coupled with a starring role in a 5-1 League Cup demolition of Chelsea suggested he was right. Ignoring a last-ditch plea from Ferguson to remain at Old Trafford, Sheringham was tempted back by the promise of first-team football, convinced he was still worthy of a starting place in any team. Sheringham had just become the oldest recipient of the PFA Player of the Year Award at Manchester United in 2001, aged 35, when he decided to return to former club Spurs the following summer. His tally of 12 Premier League goals made him the club’s top scorer while he was crowned Leicester’s Player’s Player of the Year. Though Leicester were relegated after a difficult season beset by financial issues, Ferdinand was exemplary, even postponing a knee operation to help the club’s cause. The club’s oldest ever debutant at the time, Ferdinand made an immediate impact on his first outing for the Foxes, winning a penalty and scoring a goal in a 2-2 draw with Southampton. Les Ferdinand - Leicester Cityįerdinand was the ripe old age of 37 when he signed for newly-promoted Leicester on a free transfer in 2003. Though no England caps were forthcoming, the goals continued to flow with Murray hitting double figures in the top flight for two seasons running before dropping down to the Championship and retiring earlier this year. That year he netted 12 times in the Premier League making him the league’s third most prolific Englishman behind Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane and prompting calls for an international call-up. Murray struggled for goals in the Premier League with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth earlier in his career but enjoyed an Indian summer at Brighton having spearheaded the Seagulls’ promotion. ![]() This is called “soft lock” and it mimics the same amount of lock these cars have in the real world (you’ll find a list of how we’ve set each car up so far below). What you’ll find with this new set up is that in particular the older cars will now be much more work in the hairpins and tight turns, after an hour of play you’ll feel like you’ve done a full upper body workout. Advanced Wheel Settingsįor our players who lean more towards simulation games you’ll find that we’ve added a whole suite of options to give you as much control as possible over your set up. To you we’re recommending that you leave your set up as it is for now, you shouldn’t need to change anything but if you were previously running 270 degrees of rotation on your wheel you may find it really snappy and 540 may suit you better. Now if you’re more accustomed to the older DiRT games and was perhaps OK with how our force feedback was you won’t really need to worry about any of this. The other main part of the patch is our new advanced wheel options screens. To take advantage of our new force feedback you don’t need to do anything other than download the latest patch and play the game. ![]() Hopefully all these changes will allow you to drive quicker and make you feel like you are more in control. You’ll now find that the Force Feedback coming through your wheel now feels much more intuitive, the car will now feel much more connected to the road and the forces acting against you will help you get a better idea of what the car is doing. There are two main parts to the FFB update, this first should be instantly noticeable the second you hit the stage. Great news everyone!

![]() Skyward Sword HD comes to the Switch on July 16, promising an improved experience from the original Wii game’s touchy controller issues. The sky’s no longer the limit!Ĭlassic Zelda, too - Breath of the Wild 2 is certainly Nintendo’s biggest announcement out of E3, but the gaming giant would be nothing without nostalgia, right? Long-time fans of the series are eating good this year, too. There are a bunch of other sky-islands scattered around Hyrule that Link can somehow leap up toward and explore. Hyrule Castle (once again taken over by Calamity Ganon, it seems) is floating on a rocky outcrop high above your head. The big question for players leading up to Breath of the Wild 2 is how Nintendo could possibly expand upon an open world that’s already so expansive. Then he’s running through the open-world Hyrule players have come to love, with some new Sheikah Slate power-ups and enemies. The trailer opens with some Calamity nonsense and a brief look at a distressed-looking Princess Zelda before the sky opens up and suddenly Link is falling from on high. But who cares! There’s actual gameplay footage here. It’s all happening - With a runtime of just over a minute-and-a-half, the Breath of the Wild 2 trailer is more of a teaser than anything else. Today we finally have a solid look at what Breath of the Wild 2 will provide for players - and holy shit, Hyrule Castle is floating in the sky?! Since its first announcement two years ago at E3 2019, we’ve seen zero footage of the game itself, with Nintendo pleading patience from fans. Thank goodness.Īs expected, Aonuma saved the biggest announcement for last: a brand-new trailer for Breath of the Wild 2, along with a tentative release date of 2022. The new footage isn’t all that different from what we saw in February - but Nintendo made sure to hammer home the point that you’ll be able to control Link with button input instead of motion controls. Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma led the segment with another look at Skyward Sword HD, a remake of the Wii game we first got a look at during February’s Nintendo Direct. ![]() We are.Īt today’s much-hyped E3 presentation, Nintendo saved its entire last segment for Link and his pals. Or, at least, that’s what Nintendo is planning for. Okay, don’t freak out, but it’s actually happening: The follow-up to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is coming out next year. ![]() The song selection kept the dance floor full and the sounds were smooth and well put together.
