Active Voice: Precooling Strategies and Improvements in Cycling Performance in the Heat
By Megan Ross, B.S.
Viewpoints presented in SMB commentaries reflect opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of ACSM.
Megan Ross, B.S., is completing her Ph.D. through Edith Cowan University in Joondalup, Western Australia. Based out of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, she travels with an AIS competitive cycling team and conducts performance-related studies with these athletes. Ross is interested in developing strategies for reducing risks of heat injury in cycling competitions. This commentary presents her views associated with the research article she and her colleagues published in the Jan. 2011 Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise®.
January is the month when cyclists travel "Down Under" to compete in the first event on the UCI Pro Tour calendar – an event held in the extreme heat of the Australian summer. With the stage‐race covering ~850 km over six days, in temperatures that often reach over 40°C/104°F, it is important that riders manage their heat stress. As such, research into practical means of cooling, either before, during or after exercise in hot temperatures continues to grow.More

Exercise is Medicine® Month 2011 is quickly approaching! This year, it's easier than ever to get involved. Now, and during the month of May, you can:
Policy Corner: Inclusive Fitness Coalition to Fight Obesity and Other Health Challenges in Children with Disabilities
The presence of a disability provides additional obstacles to young people facing obesity—and the subject matter for a recent congressional briefing. Sponsored by Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), the March 15 briefing was presented by the Inclusive Fitness Coalition (IFC), which was created by ACSM and the National Center on Physical Activity and Disability (NCPAD, pronounced "NICK-pad"). NCPAD director James Rimmer, Ph.D., FACSM, and other experts reviewed the prevalence of obesity and obesity-related conditions in youth with disabilities, the importance of sports and physical activity for health and social development, and recommended policy solutions.
Rimmer and Terri Lakowski, IFC policy chair, outlined the barriers facing youth with disabilities who want to participate in sports. While numerous schools and other sponsoring organizations offer programs that provide opportunities, too often aspiring athletes and their families are unaware of them or of each student's legal right to participate.
Casey Followay, a multi-sport student athlete who uses a wheelchair, and his mother Lisa captivated an audience consisting of congressional staff, representatives of the 170+ IFC members and other advocates. Other speakers included Charlie Huebner, Chief of Paralympics for the U.S. Olympic Committee, and Ricardo Soto, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Dept. of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
In addition to the briefing, representatives of IFC, NCPAD and ACSM met with OCR and the National Council on Disability, among others, regarding physical activity, fitness and health for underserved populations.More

Could Gene Tests Tell if Kids Can Be Sports Stars?
Yahoo! News
Was your kid born to be an elite athlete? Marketers of genetic tests claim the answer is in mail-order kits costing less than $200.
Some customers say the test results help them steer their children to appropriate sports. But skeptical doctors and ethicists say the tests are putting profit before science and have a much greater price tag — potentially robbing perfectly capable youngsters of a chance to enjoy activities of their choice.

Army Physical Fitness Test Revised for First Time Since 1980
DC Military
Editor's Note: ACSM, a prominent advocate for the health and safety of U.S. soldiers, has collaborated with the U.S. Department of Defense through Uniformed Services University's CHAMP (Consortium for Health and Military Performance) initiative, a joint medical resource for education, basic and clinical research and clinical expertise in the area of military unique human performance optimization.
Soldiers will be better prepared if they train how they would fight. This innovative physical readiness training philosophy, implemented by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, has driven the U.S. Army Physical Fitness School to revise not only how the Army conducts physical training, but also how it will evaluate a Soldier's physical capability.More
For a 50th Birthday Lift, Try 300 Pounds
Boom! Three hundred pounds of iron come crashing to the floor of the Synergy Fitness Club in Merrick.

This tattoo is on my cousin's ex, Brandon, although he wants us to call him "Shroomz."
He is one of those hippie asshole types, a vegan in leather shoes.
He spends most of his time preaching these bizarre hippie rants about all the death and suffering
that goes on in the world. A glass of milk is bovine holocaust to him. Honey means trillions of bees forced into tiny stables, pumped full of hormones, until the honey is brutally ripped from their tiny little honey udders.
He claims that he was "Soooo wasted" when he got this tattoo. He doesn't understand that it is not how wasted YOU are that makes a tattoo bad. He got this tattoo to be different, just like everybody else.
Extra deduction for spelling, and penmanship.
What this tattoo says about the wearer:
Can I just crash on your couch for a few weeks?

Welcome! Are you tired of looking at polls and stats and prediction makers? Well, let's taco-bout something different!
This week, my siblings and I flew/drove to my parents' state to visit. Tonight we had early Thanksgiving, which is the first time in eight years we have been together around this time of the year to celebrate it! All five of us stuffed our stuffed bodies onto the couch [it was all elbows and knees] and as a distraction from the tv my sister pulled up this game called Backflip Madness.
I bought it with my Google Rewards money for $.99, but my brother didn't want to spend the money so he got SwagFlip, which is free.
As we were laughing and flipping and dying and laughing, my mom leaned over and asked what we were playing. I could tell this shy, but amusing woman who doesn't like violence was actually really interested in the game!! I asked if she wanted to play and got a hesitant "suuure". After tapping way too much, not sticking any landings, and wondering how much tylenol such a person might need, she handed my phone back and took out her Trac-phone to see if her app store had the game. It didn't, but I believe her tablet did so she got to play for a bit.
So, I want to know [and answer one, none, any, or all!]:
- What are your favorite phone games?
- What do you do as a distraction for tense situations?
- What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
Let us know!

Kentucky Child Support Laws and Retirement Plan Distributions
Kentucky employers with 20 or more employees need to notify the child support office if any employee who is currently under a wage withholding order for child support terminates employment and is due to receive a retirement plan distribution of at least $150. The notification requirement only applies if the employee elects to receive the distribution in cash. If the employee chooses to roll his distribution to an IRA or another plan, then there is no requirement to notify the child support office.
The individual providing the notification must include their name, email address and phone number and a statement that reads: "The following individual (include name and social security number (SSN)) is due to receive a lump sum payment from our retirement plan scheduled to be paid on XXXX date (would need to be in the future)." If the SSN is not available, the FULL name and the last four digits of SSN can be provided instead.
After the child support office receives the notification, they will inform the county that holds the child support order of the upcoming payment. The distribution should not be processed for at least 30 days from the date notification is made to the child support office, to give the county time to research whether the employee is in arrears on any child support payments.
The county that holds the child support order will determine if the payment should be redirected because of any past-due child support obligations. The county will need to supply a court order if they are requesting that the payment be redirected.
Generally, as long as the child support payments are current, the retirement distribution will not be affected. However, if the child support payments are in arrears, some or all of the distribution can be applied to the amount in arrears.
Notification is not required if the employee chooses to roll over to an IRA or qualified plan - because then it is not current income to the person. Since you won't know the participant's chosen method of distribution until you receive the participant's signed distribution request, the notification cannot be started until you have the participant's completed distribution form in hand. From this point, if the employee is electing to be paid a lump sum in cash, the child support office is notified and there needs to be a 30-day wait before the distribution can be paid. So, the participant will have a waiting period of about 45 days in this situation.
The lump sum coordinator for Kentucky Child Support Enforcement is Carolyn Coney. She can be reached at (505)564-2285 ext. 4859 or by email at email@example.com. The written notification must be mailed to the address listed below or FAXED to Ms. Coney's attention at (502) 564-9864. Please note that this contact information is for employers only and should NOT be provided to participants.
Child Support Enforcement
Attn: Carolyn Coney
Post Office Box 2150
Frankfort, KY 40602-2150
RMS does not have any involvement in the notification process with the child support office, as we generally are not aware of those situations with individual employees. If we are assisting with distribution request reviews, and there is an employee for whom this might be an issue, the employer will need to inform the RMS Account Executive so that we are aware of any 30-day wait that might need to be applied.

If the Conservative Party do not get their act together soon they will become unelectable and pave the way for a socialist Corbyn Government which would without doubt lead this country into a political mire from which it may never recover.
Jacob Rees-Mogg ticks all the Brexit boxes and would certainly inspire more confidence and command greater respect amongst the Conservative membership and electorate were he to replace Theresa May.
The British Democrats believe Jacob Rees-Mogg is the right man to be leading our Government and the Brexit negotiations at this time.
Join the British Democrats and help support our call for decisive leadership in Government and the Brexit negotiations.

Contributors Jerry Garrett and Nick Kurczewski each list their five favorite cars from the Geneva auto show.
Jerry Garrett's picks:
1. Infiniti Essence. The Essence design study was just gorgeous — too bad they won't build it. Not only did it have great lines, it was also the first Infiniti with a real grille. The large, lighted Infiniti logo in the grille's center, however, evoked a bit of the Batmobile.
2. Fiat 500C. It was hard to top the topless Fiat 500C cabriolet. Fiat recreated a winner when it revived its 500 franchise, a hit from 50 years ago, and faithfully kept the spirit of the original with beguiling little design touches. A for-instance? How about the little wings on either side of the grille, which brought back the 1950s "moustache" from the Topolino model?
3. ERA supercar. Give a shout out to the young designers at I-DE-A Institute in Turin, Italy, who came up with the elegant ERA supercar. It's just a design study, but it put many efforts from more prestigious designers and studios to shame. Proportionally perfect.
4. Magna Steyr Mila EV. I liked the Mila EV among the "green" vehicles at the show. This Austrian company builds cars under contract for a number of manufacturers in Europe. Why not build one of its own? The designers packed a lot of excitement into the exterior shape for such a small car. Not every econobox/sneaker look-alike needs to turn out like the VW Polo.
5. Rolls-Royce 200EX. Of all the conspicuous excess on display at the Geneva show — and there was an A.I.G. bailout's worth here — the Rolls-Royce was the only one that looked as if it belonged. So what if you have to scale back your expectations of what you believe a Rolls-Royce should be? The foreseeable future is likely to be all about the scaling back of expectations.
There was plenty I didn't like, starting with the bug-eyed Nissan Qazana urban grime fighter. The Aston Martin Lagonda does not need to be reincarnated, especially as a shoebox. The Sbarro Impact 4 was supposed to be ugly (I think) and it was. The Citroën GT needed to be escorted directly out a back door to the nearest crusher. And I thought the Opel Ampera looked as if it was crying; maybe it was feeling the company's pain.
Nick Kurczewski's picks:
1. Frazer-Nash Namir by Italdesign Giugiaro. Billed as "the world's fastest hybrid," the wildly wedge-shaped Namir combines Italian design brio with cutting-edge fuel-saving technology. The Namir has a top speed of 187 miles an hour, should it ever see production, but can also average 90 miles a gallon.
2. Tata Nano Europa. The Nano Europa proves that frugality can be sexy. The no-frills Tata Nano will be one of the world's cheapest cars when it goes on sale in India in a few weeks. The fancier Nano Europa version won't be quite as cheap when it arrives in Europe in 2010 or '11. But its wider track, revised head and taillights, alloy wheels, power windows and air-conditioning make it a lot more appealing.
3. Protoscar Lampo. This upstart Swiss design studio had a stand barely large enough to house its one concept car, the electric-powered Lampo (Italian for "lightning"). Fun and futuristic-looking, the Protoscar Lampo provided a dose of optimism that alternative-power vehicles can help rebuild an ailing auto industry.
4. Pagani Zonda R. Nearly $2 million for a car that isn't street-legal? In boom times or bust, there is still a market for ridiculously fast and expensive supercars like the race-ready Zonda R.
5. I didn't much care for the Aston Martin Lagonda Concept. Every car show needs a villain, a vehicle everyone loves to hate. The Lagonda concept fit the role perfectly in Geneva. "An Aston Martin is an authentic, pure sports car," said Dr. Ulrich Bez, chief executive of Aston Martin. "But Lagonda is something else." Yes, it's a garish truck with the stylistic grace of a cinder block.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of Chuckles [April 20, courant.com, "Connecticut Chuckles VIII, Beloved Groundhog At Lutz Children's Museum, Dies"]. We all share your pain.
While nothing can replace a beloved, fortune-telling, future-predicting marmot, may I suggest an alternative? My back yard is home to a number of cute, adorable, child-friendly animals, and amazingly enough, they all have various psychic abilities.
Take your choice between any number of divining, tea-leaf-reading, palmist squirrels. Or perhaps you would prefer one the half-dozen chipmunks who claim to read persimmon seeds?
All these creatures are immediately available. Just stop by my house and take them away. Please, take them away. Thank you.

Spanish olive oils evoke taste of the country
Developing a more refined sense of taste doesn't have to be difficult or intimidating says Alexis Kerner, who founded the Olive Oil Workshop (theoliveoilworkshop.com) in Sevilla in 2014. Tasting, she says, is simply a matter of paying attention and becoming more sensitive to the nuances of flavor. An American who has lived in Andalucía for more than a dozen years, Kerner never really thought of herself as having an unusually refined palate. Then she became fascinated with the many types of olive oils produced in the region. A recipient of a diploma as a certified olive oil taster from the University of Jaen and the International Olive Oil Council, Kerner offers olive oil tastings as well as trips to orchards and mills. She is bullish...Read More

I am so excited to be a Guest Star Stamper at Color Throwdown this week! I have this lovely colorful badge to show for last week's card. Woohoo!
Let me introduce the color swatch for Color Throwdown #516. This week we are working with DARK TEAL, RUST, and CREAM. I created a simple fall card.
On a cream (more an off-white) base, I sponged on the cloud background with SSS teal ink. From Neenah kraft cardstock, I die cut the branch and copic-colored brown. On the same panel from which I die cut the branch, I die cut a circle. I inlaid the branch. With lots of foam tape, I mounted the kraft panel to the card base. I die cut the squirrels, copic colored, and mounted. Last step: stamping on my fall sentiment.
Supplies: Impression Obsession Squirrel Trio, Memory Box Woodland Branch, Papertrey Ink Autumn Hills, Hero Arts Infinity Circle dies, Rosie Roadshow cloud stencil, Versafine Clair, Simon Says Stamp teal ink, Copics, Kraft
Check out the Color Throwdown Design Team. Their inspiration is amazing. Reach out, get inspired and leave them some love.
The rules are simple and listed in the right hand nav of the Color Throwdown site
Thank you for playing along with Color Throwdown this week! I can't wait to see your creations. HAVE FUN.0

William Forsythes Impressing the Czar
The lively discussion engendered by Forsythe's imaginative, postmodern work has sometimes elided the dance. But Impressing the Czar – the ambitious reconstruction of his 1988 epic, performed in July by Ballet Flanders at the Lincoln Center Festival – brought the form's thrilling speed, beauty and smarts to center stage.
The dance hurls through time and space in a five-part structure that offers a stunning polemic on the history, pleasures and failures of ballet, contrasting the excess of story ballet with the spareness of Balanchine's creations. The original The Czar took on ballet's authority at a moment when the larger culture was doing this, following the ballet "boom" of the 70s, the defection of Baryshnikov in 1974, and the arrival of radical new voices like Mark Morris and Bill T. Jones. But its freshness today lies in its fusion of pastiche, analysis, inside jokes, and the kind of high-speed, saturated dancing that leaves you dizzy with wonder.
With the first section, Potemkin's Unterschrift (Potemkin's Signature), Forsythe offers up a vision of the imperial court, where former Wooster-grouper Helen Pickett presides on a throne at left stage over a giant chess-board while at right school boys alternately unveil or wheat paste images from art history on a billboard. Small groups of dancers move across the stage, dancing robust trios, quartets and quintets in period costumes and occasionally contemporary practice gear. Pickett is pure Gossip Girl, bitchy, powerful and wise in her private school uniform; or else she is Catherine the Great, then observing Potemkin's facades as she tours the colony, now presiding over the fate of theatrical dance. Mikel Jauregui is Mr. Pnut, a bobble of desire, dancing with bow and arrow, part Cupid, part St. Sebastian. Sébastien Tassin and Christopher Hill are the Grimm Brothers, nasty school boys rewriting history as they go. Drunk with references and borrowings, the fun lies in following the fast-paced action and connecting the dots as you see fit.
In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated begins without fuss after a brief intermission: an explosive and equally theatrical dance made without plot, props or any of theater's effects, except for the expressive body. Fully exposed, lit with silver white light, the stage appears as a boxing ring, and the contest apparently was for the future of ballet. Set to Thom Willems' driving, ecstatic score, the company dances in pale blue unitards achieving a speed, focus and extremity of line that alternates with cool disregard: stopping, walking, hands on hip, waiting to take the next phrase. It's Balanchine meets Judson Dance Theater, but what I remember most was the attention to hands: the sudden flick of the fingers, the wrists snapping to right angles, the sense of attack and venom. These are angry birds, grounded or in flight.
Somewhat Elevated is so vigorous, so enthralling, it's hard to return to the theater after a second intermission. Instead, the Bongo Bongo Nageela section, a title I take to be an ironic reference to the thread of primitivism that runs throughout classical dance and the avant garde, gathered the entire company onstage, men and women alike in school girl uniforms, for a ritualistic circle dance á le Sacre du printemps. The final scenes then stage the auction of a dancer, reminding us of her historic place as available for purchase backstage at the Paris Opera and today as a continuing object of desire. Then, when the Mr. Pnut dies, finally, is it the end of ballet itself, or just its commodification?
No worries. Long after the company took its bows, with Forsythe joining them onstage for the honor, audience members lingered here and there talking, muffled voices drifting upwards to the balcony where I sat, still at the edge of my seat.

This conversation between Diana Vishneva, Anna Yudina, and Olivier Berggruen explores the evolution of dance, seen from the perspective of an art form in the making, to use William Forsythes memorable formulation.
The Bon Iver Race Dance, ReviewedBy Adlan Jackson
JUL-AUG 2020 | Dance
Bon Iver began collaborating with Minnesota's TU Dance, which was cofounded by Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands, both Black veterans of Alvin Aileys American Dance Theater, to present Come Through, a contemporary dance performancemixing modern dance, hip hop, and ballet among other movement stylesalongside a live Bon Iver set. With Come Through, Vernon chooses to engage directly, for the first time in his career and with unfortunately haphazard treatment, with images and media like a hoodie superimposed over the word "breathe," and audio from a speech by Viola Davis about Jim Crow racism given at the Womens March.
A Study of Form and IndividualityBy Jen C. George
NOV 2019 | Dance
Its opening night of William Forsythe: A Quiet Evening of Dance at the Shed, and the audience files into the spacious black box theater, nearly drowning out a gentle soundtrack of bird chirps with pre-show conversations. Per the program, we will be treated to work compiled from different time stamps along William Forsythes career: newly commissioned pieces (Epilogue and Seventeen/Twenty-One) stand alongside existing repertory (Dialogue (DUO2015) and Catalogue) re-worked over the past 20 years.

The slow creep of coronavirus has made it difficult to see where we are and chart where we might go next.

Hot Picks: GCL Miami Beach Round 1
Photo: GCL
Today's opening GCL competition in the Miami Beach 2018 CSI5* 1.50/1.60m class over Italian course designer Uliano Vezzani's track offers the first chance to see who the 19 teams in the GCL — the team series — are fielding.
As well as forming the first of two parts of the team contests here in Miami Beach, the class acts as a stand-alone individual division for the 57 starters in terms of results and prize-money, so competition is doubly fierce.
Against the spectacular backdrop of the turquoise Atlantic sea, some of the sport's best riders will be tackling the Miami Beach ring for the first time — so who should you keep a particular eye on?
The home team, the Miami Celtics, are fielding Ireland's Denis Lynch (RMF Cadeau de Muze) and Michael Duffy (EFS Top Contender) in the first South Florida team tussle. As the winners of the opening 2018 leg in Mexico City, they are currently leading the rankings at this early stage of the season.
Ben Maher of Great Britain flies the flag for the London Knights riding Don Vito; Maher was on this team when it won the GCL Miami Beach leg in 2017 (with the USA's Kent Farrington). Today he partners with Belgian rider Nicola Philippaerts, who also claimed a podium here individually in 2017 — so their combined skill and experience means they can definitely not be discounted. Philippaerts partners the ultra talented H&M Chilli Willi, a 10-year-old gelding by Casall.
The Monaco Aces are another team to bring past experience to this Miami Beach GCL leg; Belgian rider Jérôme Guéry (Garfield de Tiji des Templiers) may be the only non-French rider on this team, but he won the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix here last year and has the powerhouse Simon Delestre (riding Gain Line).
The brand new combination of Germany's Christian Ahlmann and the Dutch rider Leopold van Asten form a team for the first time — this makes the Scandinavian Vikings an unknown quantity, but don't discount them on that basis.
Youth could come to the fore in the shape of the Paris Panthers: the 21-year-old Jennifer Gates is a strong rider who'll be boosted by the support of a home crowd aboard Luftikus S, and she's teamed up with Ireland's Darragh Kenny on the first-drawn horse, Team de Coquerie. The Paris Panthers also finished second in Mexico City, so are breathing down the leaders' necks.
Another American rider bidding to capitalise on home advantage is the popular Laura Kraut (Confu), who rides for the Rome Gladiators. She's joined by the on-form Italian rider Lorenzo de Luca whose Irish gelding Limestone Grey helped make him one of only two riders who pulled off a double clears at the season opener in Mexico City.
The formidable horsepower making up the New York Empire team is accompanied by the London 2012 team showjumping gold medallist Scott Brash who rides the nine-year-old gelding Hello Shelby, while his teammate Georgina Bloomberg rides the 13-year-old stallion Manodie II H.
Other teams to watch include Valkenswaard United (series winners in 2016 and second last year), with Italian rider Alberto Zorzi on Contanga 3 and Ireland's Bertram Allen on Gin Chin van het Lindenhof, while the Montreal Diamonds (who were called the Hamburg Diamonds last year and won the Global Champions League title) boasts the top riders Jos Verlooy and Eric Lamaze — both of whom were on the team last year.
Spectator entry is free for the duration of the show (5-7 April), while for anyone unable to attend, all classes are broadcast on a free live-stream — with expert commentary. Be sure to follow LGCT on social media, and don't miss your chance to interact live with some of the world's top riders via our interactive Facebook Live sessions, which will take place throughout the show.

I have heard about bitcoin a pair of decades again in 2013 and hardly ever expected it to develop into a strong cryptocurrency it is nowadays. At the time of creating this posting, it is investing on the market place at a benefit better than gold. This opened a window to quite a few alternatives for me, as I am already inside of the current market to accumulate this digital forex and gold bullion on a day-to-day foundation.
With my knowledge, I obtained know-how and formulated approaches to use this cryptocurrency and バイナンス make a wealth wheel of acquiring gold on a constant foundation making use of its electrical power.
The next points are solutions I use to accumulate bitcoin and gold bullion.
Discover a business that sells gold bullion
Open an on line bitcoin wallet
Commence mining bitcoin on-line or offline
Invest in gold bullion with bitcoin
The higher than are the basic steps to execute the method and it involves certain techniques to make it thriving. In my belief this is the very best bitcoin technique to accumulate gold and get it shipped to your doorstep each individual solitary month.
Locate a firm that sells gold bullion
There are quite a few on the net businesses on the net that sells gold bullion, but there are quite several that offers incentive courses as soon as you develop into their customer. You have to have to appear for a firm that presents much much more than only selling gold bullion. This organization wants to give excellent products and solutions, this sort of as providing gold bullion in tiny measurements of one gram, 2.5 gram and five gram. The gold itself will have to be 24 karat gold, which is the optimum high-quality you get. The incentive packages wants to make it possible for you to make commissions after you refer people today to the firm.
Open up an on the internet bitcoin wallet
You will require a area to store your bitcoin as soon as you are ready to get began in just the cryptocurrency market. There are many on the web bitcoin wallets accessible to the public totally free of charge. Seem for a firm that features a wallet to retail outlet bitcoin and an offline vault to secure it. There are numerous hackers striving to split into the wallets of on line users and steal all their bitcoin. If you retail outlet your bitcoin offline, you will in no way be a sufferer of on-line hackers.
Get started mining bitcoin on the web or offline
There are two primary strategies to get bitcoin. Mine bitcoin on the net or offline. To mine bitcoin online is pretty uncomplicated and substantially more simple than offline methods. I personally use both procedures to examination the profitability for each individual. By becoming a member of an on line bitcoin mining farm would be a fantastic way to get started off.
You will need to be pretty cautious on this option as effectively, simply because there are countless numbers of scammers proclaiming to have bitcoin farm, but in point does not. These men create Ponzi strategies and will only steal from you as a great deal as they quite possibly can. There are also trusted and authentic companies that has bitcoin farms operating each and every one day that I personally use.
You can also mine bitcoin offline by acquiring a bitcoin miner, which is computer hardware that you set up at your household. This hardware then will get linked to the Web and will start out mining bitcoin. This bitcoin will then immediately be sent to your on the net bitcoin wallet.
Obtain gold bullion with bitcoin
Now that you have bitcoin coming in on a day-to-day basis there are very unique ways that needs to be adopted to order gold bullion from the enterprise you selected. You need to have to website link your bitcoin wallet to a visa card. This card should also be presented to you from your bitcoin wallet business that you chose. Use this card to acquire gold bullion at any time you have ample bitcoin in your online wallet.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Tennessee Bureau of Investigation crime lab data has revealed that meth was the state's most-submitted drug during 2019 topping marijuana for the first time since the lab began keeping detailed statistics.
According to TBI, labs in Memphis, Nashville and Knoxville received 9,795 submissions of marijuana in 2019 compared to 10,652 in 2018.
The TBI says meth submissions have continued to increase over the years. In 2015 there were 3,748 submissions. In 2019 that number jumped to 12,072.
This increase could be credited to the lack of meth labs in the state over the past 10 years causing an influx in imported meth.

Here are some steps each of us can take right now to obtain financial security:
Invest In Yourself
Grab a book on finance or investing and read it. Do some research on the Internet to get a better understanding of personal finance and investing matters. The best investment you can ever make is to increase your knowledge of financial matters. Invest some time and energy into yourself. I guarantee it will pay of in the end.
Stop Depending on OPM (Other People's Money)
Your job isn't going to make you rich!
Your job isn't going to make you rich!
Your job isn't going to make you rich!
Did you get that? If you really want to get rich, you should develop multiple streams of income. Don't be dependent strictly on your income from work, no matter how much money you make. Venture out and open up other streams of income.
Remember the Richest Man In Babylon
The book entitled, The Richest Man In Babylon gives some great financial tips. One of the best tips it gives is to pay yourself. Each time you get paid from your job, your business, or obtain unexpected money, you should take 10% off the top for yourself. From these funds you will be able to begin to order your financial life by paying down debt, if you have any, and investing. Both of these exercises – paying down debt and investing have the same end goal – growing your money. Read the book, The Richest Man In Babylon.
Invest Efficiently
Investing efficiently means that you are simply investing unwisely. It means you have done some research, selected some markets and companies that you would like to invest in, then you pounce. You don't think this is true? Don't take it from me, take it from one of the best investor in the world, Warren Buffet. Buffet says, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes. Put together a portfolio of companies whose aggregate earnings march upward over the years, and so also will the portfolio's market value."
Invest in yourself, do your homework, then invest efficiently!
Donate, donate, donate!
This is a lesson you will learn from many millionaires and the lesson is to donate. Find a non- profit organization that you align with and donate so that people who are less fortunate than you can benefit. It not only makes you feel good, but we all reap what we sow. As you give to others, things often time work out well for you and your family.
Generosity is a key to continued wealth. And it is also a great tax write off!
Insure yourself and those you love
Get some insurance. Life insurance will help secure your financial future for you and your family. Touya Kelley, a fellow writer here at GTHU recently wrote an article on life insurance, view it here.
Read her article and go get some life insurance.
If you have sufficient assets you may also want to purchase an umbrella policy to insure your assets against litigation and other risks.

Graded Motor Imagery – Longmont Colorado
For the first time, effective treatment for difficult neuropathic pain states (eg CRPS) is now available. The Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) course provides the most up to date basic sciences, clinical trials and clinical use of the program. The course is series of lectures, practical sessions and clinical applications.
The term 'graded motor imagery' broadly means that in rehabilitation the focus is placed on synaptic exercise and health and is delivered in a graded fashion. The exercising of synapses assumes that the brain is changeable and easily adaptable and gives hope to people with difficult pain states. It involves the use of computers, flashcards, imagined movements and mirror visual feedback.
Evidence for the use of GMI comes from basic sciences (neuroscience) and clinical trials. It can offer substantial improvements in pain and disability in complex regional pain syndrome and phantom limb pain and anecdotally, the GMI program or parts of it may offer improvements in a range of chronic pain states such as brachial plexus lesions and osteoarthritis.

Corporal P. Wood was a Gear soldier in the Coalition of Ordered Governments army that fought to hold Tollen Dam during the Locust War.
Battle at Tollen DamEdit
Fourteen years after Emergence Day, Wood was part of a large COG force sent in from Speyer, Tollen, and Fort Reval to hold Tollen Dam from amassing Locust forces, whose presumed goal was to destroy the regional power grid. After being besieged by the Locust, and gradually running out of supplies and rations, and despite Delta Squad's efforts to exfiltrate the Gears, the Locust ultimately overran the dam, killing Wood and the other defenders, and succeeding in destroying the power grid.
27 years later, during JD Fenix' journey through Tollen Dam, Wood's COG Tags would be collected by JD.[1]

Science Gallery London by LTS Architects has been named best refurb project at the 2019 AJ Architecture Awards
'This scheme looks like genuinely flexible space,' said one judge of this new free-to-visit gallery in London Bridge. Part of King's College London and housed in the existing Grade II*-listed Boland House, the project aims to provide an interactive and reconfigurable place for hosting exhibitions and events.
Eighty-five per cent of the existing building fabric has been retained with only the internal partitions, toilets and some sections of the floor slab removed. The building's entrance has been altered to make it feel more accessible and open, while the original Georgian courtyard has been re-established as a fully public space.
The judges were particularly impressed by the scheme's carbon strategy. 'From a sustainable design perspective, the scheme has tackled all of the bottom-line issues – social, economic and environmental,' they said.
Intensive post-occupancy monitoring is already taking place despite the project's infancy, with regular workshops between the design team and users. 'It is obvious that they have really thought about carbon and making the biggest impact,' said one judge. The judges also commended the scheme for demonstrating exceptional collaboration between the design team. 'It looked to be a great client and architect relationship,' they said, concluding: 'This is a very worthwhile project for the wider community'.

Logos have always been an essential part of any brand building exercise. Besides being an omnipresent visual of a company, a professionally drawn logo helps drive customers in many ways. Considering that, the next evolutionary stage of logos known as animated logos have already become a trend.
Over the last few years, visuals such as logos are now increasingly shown to the audience in animated form. This is because the attention span of people is fast decreasing, which is now merely a few seconds. Since static logos are everywhere, consumers' emotional response to them is not the same high anymore. Keeping that in mind, more and more business owners are creating an animated version of their old static logos.
The rise in animated logos is mainly thanks to modern technologies. The designers can now design logos in animated form in a variety of formats. So, they can create such logos in formats like CSS, SVG, GIF, etc. Not only that, the designers can ensure that the animated visuals can be shown on all platforms like websites, mobile apps, video clips, and in any dynamic content.
Why animated logos are popular?
There are in fact various reasons why businesses have ensured an animated form of their existing logos. The first and foremost reason is that animation is a powerful tool to catch people's attention. After people are used to seeing static visuals, animated versions can grab their attention instantly.
Then, you can insert more information in an animated logo. For example, such a logo can tell your brand story and the advantages of your products. This is an entertaining way to take your brand to the masses.
Animated logos are organic. They can be presented in a different contest including video clips and mobile apps.
These types of logos are known for their bold and impactful images that help in building brand recognition. Since animated logos tell a story, your brand can establish an emotional bond with your audience.
With these benefits in mind, it is no surprise that the animation industry is growing fast. According to reports, the size of the global animation market in 2018 was 259 billion US dollars. It is likely to grow to 270 billion dollars by 2020
Are you also thinking of having an animated version of your logo? If so, then we can help.
Here Are The Top Animated Logos For Your Inspiration

Among all animated logos, we see the animated version of the Google logo very often since we use the search engine regularly. This logo has the word 'Google' taking shape of bounding dots, a pulsating wavelength, a microphone, and a shorthand 'G'.
02. Eat
This Eat logo shows how animation can tell a story in an impressive way using visuals. The thin letters of the word ' EAT' become fatter gradually as more dose of 'food' is fed. At the last stage, the letters become extremely fat. The message and story of the logo animation are clear to the audience.
03. Advance Auto Parts
You can notice speed in this animated logo. It shows the expanding motor racing flag. It evokes speed and progress from the audience. When you design a logo with animation, make sure that it looks unique and simple just like this logo.

The Pinterest logo is already a great logo for its unique design that reflects the business. But its animated illustration is also one of the great examples of logos in animation too. It depicts a pin that is bounding up around to form the letters of the company's name.

16. Uber
Uber logo is another great example of animated logos that depict what a business does. The company offers taxi services. So, the animation illustrates various rout points on a map. A lesson here is that you should use only the elements of your brand while creating the animation.

Rule number 1 in blogging, never talk about politics, religion or the environment. You can never win and it's really easy to alienate your readers. So what am I going to do today… Exactly, I'm going to rant about complaining, including complaining about the government. If you don't like some self-reflection, please skip this post 😉
The word "Complainypants", as noted by dear Pete, still resonates with me. I discovered the blog of Mr. Money Mustache back in 2014. It was entertaining, interesting and a good kick in the butt. But that word: complainypants. The amount of times it has been applicable since I first read it?! My gosh, it's horrible!
Something with yellow & vests
Unless you have been living under a rock (or like Mrs CF, you don't read or watch the news), you have seen the mass destruction by people in yellow vests. Now first off, the large majority of the people that wear these vests are just complaining (with or without a good reason), not wrecking various local businesses. The businesses of people that are hard working and deserve some slack. Unfortunately there are a few major idiots!
But why are they complaining? The short summary of this story: higher taxes and less money to spend, all made possible by "the government". In this case, the French government. That being said, protests are showing up in other countries too. With the similar setups and complaints.
The Government
Now, is "the government" (applies in pretty much every country) generally an efficient organization. No, far from actually. Are they wasting money? Absolutely! Should that change? Yes, definitely. Is that your job? Perhaps, but most likely not (unless you are a minister/member of parlement and reading this blog). However, it is your job when it is time to vote!
Does complaining about it help? Sometimes it does! The French president reversed the tax increase on fuels. Which in my personal is not a bright thing to do. Yes, you get rid of the protests, sure. But using an non-renewable resource is never a smart idea. We should be driving less & cycling/walking/bussing/train-ing more (for work and for leisure). Higher operating costs (by means of taxation) would certainly help with this. Unpopular as this might be.
It is always the fault of the government? Nope, it's most likely yours! Why? Entitlement.
Many of us (including myself) have a sense of entitlement. We think we are entitled to our car, holidays/travel, big house, booze, etc. Our collective sense of entitlement has significantly increased over time. In short, we are spoiled rotten. When a government is encroaching on this sense of entitlement (rightfully or wrongfully), we tend to lash out.
The stupid thing is, we hardly look at ourselves! It's obviously never our fault, right? We are therefore virtually never critical about our own decisions. We are complainypants, and we are good at it!
However, our sense of entitlement is also going to become very costly in the longer term. We are destroying this planet faster then ever, primarily because of our sense of entitlement. We are killing of our lands (cheap food), our forests (more cheap food/housing/industry), our seas (over fishing/plastics) and our air with virtually everything we do (and consume).
This is going to result in our life to become even more expensive in the future. All aspects of life will be affected, our food, our homes (insurance/energie costs), our healthcare and our tax bill (it's expensive keeping up with natural disasters and rising water levels). Yes, we are good at engineering our way out of some of these issues. But mother nature will ultimately kick us back down if we go overboard. And mother nature does not care about your money or your life. She does not listen to complainers 😉
Before you start complaining, first do some self-reflection. Look at the bigger picture! Look at the longer term. Don't just be a stupid idiot solely looking at the government to blame for things gone wrong in your life. Start looking at yourself first before looking at other to blame. Be a "Mother Theresa" on all aspects of your personal life (money, family & environment) before you start pointing your finger towards others.
Not sure about you, but I'm allergic to certain complainypants. Especially those that wear yellow vests and state:
- I have no money left at the end of the month (all while smoking and drinking beer)
- It's all the governments' fault that I have a piece of month left after my money is gone (but I do go on holidays 2 times per year, have a big house full of stuff and ditto car)
- Healthcare is becoming unaffordable (while eating a big mac, sitting on a couch, behind a TV)
- Etc. Etc. Etc.
I think you get my point!
There will always be people that have rights to complain. Some people did their best and are screwed by the system, illness or both! I get that and I really feel sorry for you if that is the case. You absolutely have the right to complain. Life is not always fair, it can be an absolute bitch! But always try to move on. If you keep playing the victim, you will never win (or get over whatever is holding you back).
End rant.
