Badminton & Tennis Rackets

Filed under: Others — blogadmin @ 9:18 pm

Badminton: http://yonexusa.com/products/badminton/racquets
“U”代表羽拍的重量: U—95~100克、2U—90~94克、3U—85~89克、4U—80~84克
“G”代表拍柄的粗细程度: G1最粗,G5最细。常用拍为G2,G3,G4
如果你的力量小拍较慢,却又想提高击球的速度,就应用厂商建议的低磅数拉线,反之,你用标示的最高磅拉线,当你击球时,就会经常感到球拍特别硬,不仅打不动球,还会觉得手很累!
20~27磅. 横线拉力25磅, 竖线拉力23磅

Balance. It’s the distance in millimeters between the base of the racquet handle and its balance point. The Balance Point is an important value that gives us information on how weight is distributed along the tennis racket. In a standard 27-inch racket, a neutral balancing point is around 320 mm.

Lower tensions give you: More Power, More Comfort, More Durability (although not always the case), More Feel
But on the flip side: Less Control
Higher tensions give you: More Control, More Spin
But on the flip side: Less Durability, Less Power, Less Comfort

10 Simple Google Search Tricks

Filed under: Others — blogadmin @ 12:52 pm

Published: April 2, 2010
By SIMON MACKIE of GigaOm

I’m always amazed that more people don’t know the little tricks you can use to get more out of a simple Google search. Here are 10 of my favorites.

* How the Email Inbox Can Become An App Platform

1. Use the “site:” operator to limit searches to a particular site. I use this one all the time, and it’s particularly handy because many site’s built-in search tools don’t return the results you’re looking for (and some sites don’t even have a search feature). If I’m looking for WWD posts about GTD, for example, I could try this search: GTD site:webworkerdaily.com.
2. Use Google as a spelling aid. As Rob Hacker — the WWD reader I profiled last week — pointed out, entering a word into Google is a quick way to see if you have the right spelling. If it’s incorrect, Google will suggest the correct spelling instead. Additionally, if you want to get a definition of a word, you can use the “define:” operator to return definitions from various dictionaries (for example, define: parasympathetic).
3. Use Google as a calculator. Google has a built-in calculator — try entering a calculation like 110 * (654/8 + 3). Yes, your computer also has a calculator, but if you spend most of your day inside a browser, typing your calculation into the browser’s search box is quicker than firing up your calculator app.
4. Find out what time it is anywhere in the world. This one’s really handy if you want to make sure that you’re not phoning someone in the middle of the night. Just search for “time” and then the name of the city. For example, try: time San Francisco
5. Get quick currency conversions. Google can also do currency conversion, for example: 100 pounds in dollars. It only has the more mainstream currencies, though — if you’re trying to see how many Peruvian nuevos soles your dollars might buy, you’ll be out of luck.
6. Use the OR operator. This can be useful if you’re looking at researching a topic but you’re not sure which keywords will return the information you need. It can be particularly handy in conjunction with the “site:” operator. For example, you could try this search: GTD or “getting things done” site:webworkerdaily.com
7. Exclude specific terms with the – operator. You can narrow your searches using this operator. For example, if you’re looking for information about American Idol but don’t want anything about Simon Cowell, you could try: “american idol” -cowell
8. Search for specific document types. Google can search the web for specific types of files using the “filetype:” operator. If you’re looking for PowerPoint files about GTD, for example, you could try: GTD filetype:ppt
9. Search within numerical ranges using the .. operator. Say, for example, you want to look for information about Olympic events that took place in the 1950’s, you could use this search: Olympics 1950..1960
10. Area code lookup. Need to know where a phone number is located? Google will let you know where it is, and show you a map of the area, too. For example: 415

Reading the Nutrition Label

Filed under: Others — blogadmin @ 6:44 pm

What’s all that fine print mean to your workout
By: Gay Riley, M.S., R.D., C.C.N.

Who knows what a gram is? Europeans and cocaine dealers, that’s who. But not law-abiding Americans, unless they happen to be dietitians, like me. I know that 5 grams (g) is about a teaspoon. So whenever I pick up a frozen dinner with 10 g saturated fat listed on the Nutrition Facts label, I see 2 spoonfuls of pallid, artery-clogging fat staring back at me.

These labels started appearing on every item of packaged food in the United States in 1990. At first, the law required a listing of calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and sodium. In 1993, saturated fats and cholesterol were added. And in 2006, all labels will list food allergens and trans fats, the dangerous mutant gunk that’s formed when food manufacturers turn liquid oils into solid fats so they’ll stay stable on grocery-store shelves.

Like most legislation, the labeling law was meant to be helpful. And it has been, mostly. Yet, 14 years later, many people still don’t understand how to put the information into practice. This guide is your Cliffs Notes for your next supermarket test.
