Choker Obsessed
Something about chokers gets my creative energy soaring and spinning. I love how badass I feel when I wear one, and it's awesome that there are endless possibilities as far as style, design, and colours to play with. I'm excited to keep pushing myself to always be coming up with fresh new ideas!

Retiring Wistaston Rose Queen Emma Horne has presented a cheque to Diabetes UK for more than £5,000.
Emma, 15, who was crowned Rose Queen in June 2016, raised an amazing £5,121 through various activities over the past 12 months.
She chose the charity as she has friends and family with Type 1 diabetes.
And during her year as Rose Queen, Emma's dad Michael was also told he was at risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Emma said: "We have had a really enjoyable year with a number of events including tea dances, a 'onesie party', plant sales, Christmas fairs, a fashion show, a Chinese New Year themed quiz night and a calendar for 2018 with photographs of the events.
"I cannot thank enough, everyone who has helped organise, donated time and expertise, donated raffle prizes and supported these events.
"Without them, we would not have been able to raise the magnificent sum of £5,121 for Diabetes UK."
Money raised will be donated to a diabetes research project being undertaken at The University of Manchester by Dr Jenny Myers, which is monitoring mothers-to-be with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and their unborn babies.
In women with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, their babies can grow too small or too large during pregnancy, and this is thought to be linked to the mother's blood glucose levels.
Research could help prevent problems during pregnancy and birth for mothers-to-be with diabetes and their babies in future.
The research is important for Emma and her family as Michael's eldest daughter Laura has Type 1 diabetes and is expecting a baby in August 2017.
Emma's mum Chris and dad Michael added: "We are very proud of the lovely and fulfilling year we have had supporting Emma as Wistaston Saint Mary's Rose Queen with her fund raising.
"It has been very rewarding to see the positive reaction and support from the whole local community as they have supported Emma's events.
"A real happy community spirit across all ages, from 3 years old to 93 years, a really enjoyable time."
Diabetes UK Regional Fundraiser Maria Whittaker said: "Emma has put in a huge amount of work over the past year, raising vital funds to help people living with diabetes.
"We are extremely grateful to Emma and everybody involved in all the fundraising activities.
"Every penny raised will help us realise our vision of a world where diabetes can do no harm."

Enhanced PTT Coming To AT&T This Year
Article Comments
Wow, really?
Waste of time and effort, complete FAIL. :-/
Not in the DC, MD, VA area. They use to use two way radios, they moved to PPT service in the peak of its usefulness and now, all calls for service are pushed through dash mounted devices.
Why must people make it so personal?
All im saying, from what I've seen and heard, outside of businesses, most folks in my opinion aren't all that interested in PTT. Hence, why the service on ATT never really took off. The introduction of increased minutes, unlimited minutes and free mobile to mobile, allowed people to do what they wanted in the first place....talk without going over their minutes.
If you are among the few that find PTT useful, great. But, lets keep childish remarks out of this, simply because I'm pointing out what I think are shortcomings of providing such a service. If you have a different opinion, by all means voice it. That's what the forum is for.
YOU came out of the gate with a smug, know-it all attitude. So don't get your back up when someone else calls you out for your own personal blend of ignorance and arrogance. You are complicit, and you will reap what you sow.
Here are the facts:
1) Neither Verizon's nor ATT's PTT services can hold a candle to Nextel's, thus there was not a high uptake rate with those two carriers. They do not perform well, so people didn't like susing them and word got around they were nothing compared to Nextel. Thus, hardly any VZ or ATT PTT users.
2) Sprint's totally bo...
Ok then, I stand corrected.
Just for the record, I did try it with ATT, when they first started the service. I owned a LG CU500 which was supposed to be PTT capable but, I never got to use it because no one on ATT really used it and I knew quite a few people the time who were ATT customers and those who happened to own phones that were able to use PTT, didn't bother with the service. Now, maybe it was because they had few phones that people wanted with PTT capabilities but, my opinion is not and was not meant to be absolute. If you took it that way, then I can't really help that. If I've struck a nerve with you or somehow offended you, my apologies. But, I stand by my opinion, when it comes to ATT. This had nothing to do with the...
1. They don't know what it is....when I worked for at&t, I got the question 'what does this little button do?' so many times it wasn't even funny....
2. There are very few devices that support it
When you explain what Push to Talk is, people are generally interested, but they then get disappointed when they discover that they can't use it because only one device on their plan supports the feature...
Push to Talk is a very good way for people who need to have short 1-2 minute conversations without using up plan minutes....
I think there is a definite market for it in families, they just need to improve the service and offer it on more devices and I think plenty of ...
island-guy said:...
If you've ever tried 'real' PTT you would realize how powerful and efficient it truly is. When we are out in the field It's instant communication and IMO allows true simultaneous multitasking, It's like virtually being within earshot of everyone. You can be on the job hammering away and receive verbal communication at the same time and if you need to respond all you need is to hit the PTT button. You don't have to drop everything, pull off your gloves, unlock your phone, and call back or see what your message is about. Many times it's just change of orders or FYI's that are communicated needing no response at all and no need to stop working. So it doubles as a PA system as well. List goes on.....Hopefully

This must be a feature businesses are requesting or something. I cant imagine anyone wanting to use this type of service. Who uses this anymore? It wasn't popular when they first offered it and it won't be popular, now.
Waste of time and effort, complete FAIL. :-/
Geezus, dude. Are you for real? There are an absolute TON of business who need instant, walkie-talkie-like communications.
I also stated that it may have had a lot to do with the lack of options, when it came to phones and didn't do anything to really promote the service. That's what I meant by "fail".
Vmac39 said:
As I've stated, in previous responses, I had ATT in mind when I made my comment. I realize my comments weren't as clear as they probably should have been. This had nothing to do with the usefulness of the technology, just ATT's ability to do anything with it, considering, it didn't work well for them before.
I also stated that it may have had a lot to do with the lack of options, when it came to phones and didn't do anything to really promote the service. That's what I meant by "fail".
In that light, I'd have to agree with you. ATT's implementation always sucked, so anyone who knew Nextel's performance hated ATT's lousy system and gave it up, and those who were new to PTT and for whom ATT w...

[Editor's note: Julie Gunlock is a policy director at the Independent Women's Forum and runs the organization's Culture of Alarmism Project.]
[M]isinformation and fearmongering about GMOs persists. Activist groups like the Non-GMO Project deserve most of the blame.
Yet there's another reason GMOs continue to be vilified: The unwillingness on the part of food companies, like Cargill, to help educate consumers about the GMO process. Food companies' willingness to place the Non-GMO Project's verified label on their products is just one example of this complacency.
Cargill's main error was that they focused solely on pleasing one customer — the subset of shoppers looking for non-GMO food products — while forgetting an important business partner — the farmers that choose to sell Cargill their GMO corn. These farmers understandably bristle at the idea of working with a company that sidles up to an organization demonizing their farms.
Cargill's claim that it cares about its customers and wants to respond to their demands is noble. Yet, Cargill also has a duty to their partners — in this case, the American farmer — to expose radical activist groups that actively work to misinform and frighten consumers about safe agriculture and food manufacturing processes.
One of Cargill's mottos is "helping farmers prosper." Cargill should remember this motto in their efforts to build coalitions. Partnering with an activist organization that seeks to destroy the biotech industry, harm farmers and limit consumer choices will do nothing to advance this righteous goal.

Sorry to call this to the attention of friends at a "poetry foundation" that is giving Will Alexander an award. Will Alexander is a purveyor of pseudo-intellectual surrealist word salad BULLSHIT.
Unfortunately, the demise of poetry is going to be down this path. Go to college, learn to smoke pot and stick your finger in academic journals (philosophy, physiology, nuclear physics, gnostic theology, whatever) and grab any sort of exotic-sounding words you can and shake them up in a coffee can.
Buy postmodern theory journals and pretend that you know what they are saying. Ask people to worship your spittle when you read your word-salad "poems."
What kinds of dupes give Will Alexander awards?
The only thing that Will Alexander seems really good at is PROMOTING himself in poetry circles and generating moronic self-promotional bios that people actually quote:
And writing word salad that purports to be esoteric philosophy or poetry:

Interesting to note a strong leaning towards, guess what, the absence of eyebrows, plus Gisele in a wig. This is by no means new news,
But just saying...
No brows, significant spam PLUS headscarf at Sportmax, obviously took inspiration from yours truly.
Beautiful bleaching at Givenchy. Slightly overdone in male accessory
Dark hair plus no brows at Loewe. As my mum said when she saw me at recent chemo with same look 'Oooh, sort of Swedish'

With his seemingly mundane act of taking one step forward, he effectively walked from myth to reality.
A mysterious friend reappears in the lives of cousins Hannah Mitchell and Jenna Warnke. His return causes a haunted past to be revived and a search for answers about ancient myths in the Snoqualmie Valley of Washington State is born. Could modern science hold the key, or does the truth lie in something supernatural?
An unlikely romance is encouraged by hope but threatened by heartbreak. Tragic loss and prejudice loom over the friends, drawing out the darkness of unexpected enemies. Is love strong enough to endure, or will worlds be destroyed?
Come discover what lurks in the shadows but desires the light!
For cousins Jenna and Hannah, life is anything but ordinary.
When Jenna loses her parents in a tragic accident, their lives in Washington's Snoqualmie Valley change in unexpected ways. Despite the changes, Jenna still finds love with a mysterious young man she once believed was Hannah's imaginary friend.
Tall, dark and hairy, Adam brings to light rumors of Bigfoot. Can science explain his appearance? Is he really a supernatural creature, like some people propose? Or is he just as human as anyone else?
Age-old fears and superstitions revive myths and reveal ancient secrets, but is there any truth to the tales? What's waiting to be unveiled in the forests of Snoqualmie?

My new youtube channel: www.cooloutbeats.com is open for listening.
I'll be posting new beats each week for folks to chill, study, and relax to.
For a long time I've had an interest in the power of technology, not only to create new experiences, but to democratize creative tools and "even the playing field". It still amazes me that tools once costing thousands of dollars can now be had for a fraction of the price. In 2011, I released 'The Rise', which was the first album created with an Android phone. I used various sound generating apps to create the instrumentals and recorded the vocals through the phone's built-in mic. Also, writing lyrics in…
New music done completely on an iPad.
I almost put this remix on the last batch, but it wasn't where it should be. It's more of mashup really.
The homie Matthew Law included one of my remixes on his DJ mix for Serato.
Folks have been asking me about new remixes in my trademark 'disgo' style. Here's a new batch. It also marks the first time I offering them for sale. Aside from the legality of unofficial remixes, it makes sense to allow people to support my efforts.
All the remixes I've been doing over the past couple of years have been a good exercise . As part of that I've been going back and revisiting my older songs. It's been fun trying to fit them into a more uptempo context.
Here's some instrumentals from an album I wrote, but never recorded the vocals. Writing lyrics can be a freeing experience, but sometimes you have just keep it moving and not share that time in your life. Perhaps one day the full project will see the light of day.

Hugely chuffed and honoured to discover that a piece I wrote for Tangents a long, long time ago (1999! The prehistoric days of the Interweb!) has been used on the freshly launched website for Michael Head to tell in part his story. Along with his brother John, Mick Head recorded The magical world of the Strands, my Desert Island Disc. So that big an honour. Even more exciting than this though is the raison d'être for the new website – finally, a new record. Well, a release date at least for the Artorius revisited EP by Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band. I've been waiting for this since around about the time I posted 'Full moon' way back in 2009. This year has also seen Mick back performing live, with his Elastic Band, and on the new website you can see evidence of this in the form of a video of 'Meant to be' from the Night and Day café in Manchester. The rest of that night's set is available here. Sadly no 'Full moon' but the new songs make me think there's plenty of life left in the old dog yet. And Mick's wearing an English settlement-era XTC t-shirt, making explicit a link I always felt in my bones, although thinking of 'Love on a farmboy's wages', maybe it's Mummer rather than that earlier LP which is the closest tie.
Geoff King's introductory piece for the new website, above mine, is well worth reading. He reveals that 'for The Strands album, Michael composed the songs after studiously spending day after day in Liverpool library reading renaissance and baroque era madrigals.' I never knew that, but of course it figures, thinking of 'Queen Matilda', 'And Luna', 'Hocken's Hey', 'Green velvet jacket', and the sheer timeless beauty of 'Something like you'.
After every album, I always think we've heard the last of Michael Head, and I count myself grateful for what we have. And yet he keeps getting back up for one more go around the block. One more round in the ring. Long may he continue to do so.

"Photographing the Backlit Bird", a few tips to improve your bird photos.by Mark & Roberta Buchanan September 27, 2016 backlit birding Camera Exposure Photography tips
Suppose you are walking through Canatara Park and suddenly you spot a beautiful warbler on a branch overhead. It's the middle of the day with a bright, sunny sky. You excitedly snap several photos, but later when you look at the photos on a computer you are disappointed to see that the bird in the photo is darker than you anticipated.
The problem is that the bird was backlit and this situation is quite common, seeing as birds are often overhead and so is the sun. Even with binoculars, a bird against a bright sky often looks like a silhouette of a bird. Your camera's sensor that controls exposure has the same problem, it "sees" a small bird and a bright sunny sky and interprets that as "hey, there is plenty of light here so I don't need to let as much light into the camera to get a properly exposed image", so it limits the amount of light (typically by reducing shutter speed or decreasing the aperture) thereby giving you the underexposed bird in your photo.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis provides images with near-atomic resolution for measuring surface topography. It is capable of quantifying surface roughness of samples down to the angstrom-scale. In addition to presenting a surface image, AFM analysis can also provide quantitative measurements of feature sizes, such as step heights and other dimensions. Additionally, advanced modes of atomic force microscopy measurements allow for the qualitative mapping of various other physical properties, such as adhesion, modulus, dopant distribution, conductivity, surface potential, electric field, and magnetic domains.
What is the use of Atomic Force Microscopy?

Ticking off 10 minutes of global events for a global audience.I'm Carl Azuz from the CNN Center.
For the first time since 2004, the U.S. government is recognizing a genocide.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the ISIS terrorist group is committing genocide, the mass murder of Christians, Shiite Muslims and Yazidis in the nations of Iraq and Syria.The Obama administration had been criticized for its reluctance to use the term until now.On Monday, the House of Representatives passed a unanimous resolution to label some of ISIS's crime as genocide.That vote and the administration's announcement don't require the government to take additional action against ISIS, but it could increase pressure on it to more aggressively fight the terrorists or to allow more refugees from Iraq and Syria into the U.S..This is video from 2014 on an Iraqi Air Force flight that rescued some Yazidis from a mountain in Iraq.ISIS had trapped and targeted them.
An American student is now a prisoner in North Korea.Twenty-one-year-old Otto Warmbier was visiting the capital Pyongyang on a tour organized by a Chinese travel company.On January 2nd, he was arrested and accused of stealing a political banner from his hotel.Warmbier later admitted to the crime and said he was lured by the U.S. government to commit, but it's possible that North Korean officials pressured him to read that statement.Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, a penalty that the U.S. State Department says doesn't fit the crime.Relations between the U.S. and North Korea are worse than usual, partly because of North Korea's nuclear program and the international penalties for it.Partly because of annual military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, which the North opposes.Warmbier was on an organized tour when he was detained by the North Koreans on January 2nd.
What are the conditions of the case?
He may be forced to work in agriculture, as it happened with other American prisoners.He may spend his days planting apple trees, for example.It will be fairly grueling forced labor.It is very likely that he will be interrogated by agents of the state security department.Human rights groups say similar conditions were experienced by American missionary Kenneth Bae, who was held in North Korea for about two years.U.S. officials tell CNN they're working to secure his release and are urging Kim Jong-un's regime to pardon the young American.Kenneth Bae and another American, Matthew Todd Miller, had also been accused of perpetrating hostile acts against Kim's regime.They were given long sentences of hard labor, but released much earlier.Based on previous such instances, I would say that Otto Warmbier would stand a fair chance of being released about six months since his arrest.
Queen Nefertiti's resting place discovered?A researcher believes he may have discovered the resting place of Egypt's Queen Nefertiti.Dr.Nicholas Reeves of the University of Arizona thinks Nefertiti is buried behind passageways in King Tutankhamun's tomb.King Tut was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty.His tomb was discovered by English archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.Reeves thinks he discovered hidden doorway after analyzing digital scan of the walls of Tutankhamun's tomb.

Morphodynamic Study Of The Ondarreta Beach In San Sebastian (Spain)

Ondarreta Beach is one of the most emblematic and visited beaches in the Basque Country. This beach is part of La Concha bay, with Santa Clara Island in the middle of the bay and a semi submerged dike and reef in front of it. The combination of this morphology together with the tidal range in the area (max. springs 4.6m) results in a very particular wave climate. The beach contains different strata of sand, natural rocks and the remains of artificial structures. Therefore, rocks sometimes appear at the surface, depending on the changes of the beach profile. This situation harms the normal use of the beach and can be a risk for the users. During recent years this process has increased and, especially in the summer, a big part of the intertidal profile of the West part of the beach shows a gravely and rocky profile. In 2003, the town council of San Sebastian entrusted AZTI Foundation with the study of this beach. For this purpose AZTI planned the data analysis and the morphodynamic study of the evolution of the beach in three different time scales, in order to clarify whether the recent problems at the beach are an increasing erosive process, or part of a natural cycle. The three different time scales of analysis of morphodynamic processes taking place in this beach are: - Short term scale: wave data measurement and analysis, modeling of wave, current and sediment transport. - Medium term scale: analysis of seasonal equilibrium shape and profile. - Long term scale: analysis of morphodynamic evolution of the whole system (the bay). This analysis has contributed to the management of the beach, implying artificial seasonal sand movements, trying to encompass the natural processes and shoreline protection with the recreational use of the beach. Keywords: morphodynamic, erosion, beach, management, wave modelling, short term, medium term, long term, recreational beach use.

Today I'm going to write a little off topic, but very important advice to any married couple (or too be married couple)...
A little advice I was given long ago was "A happy home equals a healthy home".
Here is a very quick explanation of some biochemistry...There is a chemical that is naturally produced in our bodies called Cortisol. Cortisol, for the most part, is produced from stress. Too much stress raises cortisol levels quite a bit and suppresses the immune system. Too much Cortisol in the body, eventually results in a higher amount of belly fat that is near-to-impossible to lose with exercise. Therefore, bottom line, is less stress equals a healthier and sexier looking body. So, husbands and wives out there, work on reducing stress in your marriage and your daily life with your spouse and you instantly will look sexier. ;)
My husband and I have been so blessed with our marriage. We both have business that operate out of our home (for the most part) and we get to spend countless hours sitting next to each other in the office, brainstorming ways to improve our businesses. We both have entrepenurial mindsets, we both are very slow to anger, we communicate great with each other, and we have fun "at work" on a daily basis. Very little stress enters our marriage and I wish that upon all marriages. Tell yourself everyday...."pick and choose your battles"...you will be amazed how many things you "argued" about in the past, will not even be verbalized or thought of. Focus on communicating only positive thoughts and your life will instantly be more enjoyable and you and your spouse will instantly be sexier looking to each other.
I love my husband, Dave Kaminski, and I support all of his businesses: Professional Window Cleaning, Pine Country Window Cleaning, Sedona Window Cleaning, & Terminator Marketing.
Wishing everyone a low Cortisol level body and a super happy marriage!

The scary thought of how to pay for my kid's college
I woke up last night from a dream/stressful nightmare more or less....How in the world am I going to pay for my kid's college!! I'm sure there are many parents out there with stressful thoughts on this topic. Well, since I am from the family background and mindset of sports, sports, sports...I instantly think of "how do I do everything I can to ensure my kids get some or all of college paid for through sports". I know this isn't something many parents even have as an option to pay for college, but for those that have kids that play sports, love sports, and have the mindset to succeed in sports...listen up....I did some research: There are roughly 138,000 athletic scholarships available for Division I and Division II sports annually. Sounds like a lot, but it's really not. For instance, more than 1 million boys play high school football, and about 19,500 football scholarships available. Nearly 603,000 girls compete in track and field in high school, but only about 4,500 scholarships offered. Plus Most scholarships are split among multiple players and substituted with other financial means, such as academic scholarships, grants, work study, etc. The NCAA dictates how many athletic scholarships each school and each sport can offer. To squeeze out the maximum benefit, coaches routinely split up these financial scholarships among multiple players. For instance, a Division I soccer coach is allowed up to 10 scholarships, but he or she can divide out this money into partial scholarships and take advantage of getting more athletes on their campuses. Some schools will pair up an athletic scholarship with an academic scholarship too, so grades are just as important as athletic skills. And here is another interesting fact: Scholarships are not guaranteed year after year. If a child receives a sports scholarship, you can not assume they will get that funding for all four years of college. Athletic scholarships must be renewed each year, therefore an athlete that doesn't meet the coaches expectations year after year can be cut from funding. Also, you have to keep in mind that if a college scholarship athlete sustains a serious injury, it could result in a loss of the scholarship money. So, with this information I researched, I pray and hope that I will be a parent that will be able to keep focused on doing whatever possible to bless my children with excellent grades, superior athleticism (with the help of some great sports performance coaches and sports coaches), and ensure I am focused on injury prevention to the best of my abilities. Being that I have worked in the sports performance for over 10 years, I have seen many many athletes that had so much potential for college athletic scholarships go to college without any funding. I have also seen some great, hard-working, determined athletes get full rides to excellent colleges. So, parents, don't be discouraged, be encouraged and do your research. Find a sports performance coach, athletic trainer, nutritionist, physical therapist, etc and be sure to optimize their knowledge and expertise with your child starting at a young age. Do not overlook small injuries throughout playing youth and high school sports. Be sure to get those injuries properly taken care of. If you are serious about a college scholarship, be sure to hire a knowledgeable sports performance coach to work with your athlete starting as young as age 10. They can assess an athlete and determine exactly what exercises needed to be incorporated to improve a child's athleticism by leaps and bounds, as well as significantly reduce the chances for injuries. If you are a parent or athlete reading this blog in or near Scottsdale, Arizona please contact Efficient Movement and schedule a total-body athletic assessment immediately to know how to maximize the athletic potential you have. Let me help you and your child get a athletic scholarship! www.EfficientMovement.com Wishing every athlete success in sports & academics! Marilyn

Gluten Free Diet highly suggested for youth athletes
I have now learned first-hand the complexity in creating meals that are Gluten-Free. I have had to go on a restricted diet (gluten-free & dairy-free) due to the colicky symptoms in my 7 week old baby boy. I have now been gluten free for a week. My energy level has skyrocketed. This has made me really think about the importance for athletes to eat gluten-free, or at least limit the amount of gluten, in their meals. Here are some excellent gluten-free, high-protein, meals I recommend for youth athletes to eat:
1) eggs, avocado, brown rice tortilla
2) steak fajita with avocado wrapped in a corn tortilla
3) grilled chicken, gluten-free pasta, Italian dressing
4) pork chop, avocado, greens salad with
Lemon juice and olive oil
5) fresh shaved lunch meat wrapped in lettuce
I hope these gluten-free meal ideas get shared with parents of youth athletes. And most importantly, that athletes and parents start to really think about at least limiting gluten in your meals!!

In health & happiness,

A senior Syrian weapons engineer killed over the weekend when a bomb in his car exploded was killed in a targeted assassination by Israel's security agency Mossad, The New York Times reported Tuesday, reinforcing accusations from Syria.
Aziz Azbar, a leading Syrian chemical weapons and rocket scientist, was killed along with his personal driver when his car exploded in the northern city of Masyaf late Saturday night. Masyaf is reportedly the location of one of Syria's central weapons-development factories.
The unnamed source, speaking to the Times on condition of anonymity, told the paper that Israel was behind the attack and said his own intelligence agency had verified the Israeli operation. The Israeli government declined to comment on the report, but an official noted on Tuesday that it was "a good thing" that Azbar was dead.
"We obviously do not comment on these kinds of reports — neither confirming nor denying them — but we can talk about the man himself, who was responsible for putting high quality weapons in the hands of some bad people, and so we can say that the fact he is no longer with us is a good thing," said Gilad Erdan, who heads the Public Security and Strategic Affairs ministries.
According to Israeli intelligence, Azbar was heading a classified weapons development program, called Sector 4, at the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center and was working on re-building an underground weapons factory to replace the one said destroyed by Israel last year.
Azbar and his team were working to begin mass-producing precision-guided missiles by retrofitting SM600 Tishreen rockets, as well as on a solid-fuel plant for missiles and rockets – a safer alternative to liquid fuel. The Tishreen is a Syrian version of the Iranian Fateh-110, a missile with a range of 125 miles.
Azbar was said to be a close associate of Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps elite al-Quds Force, and enjoyed high-level access to both the Syrian and Iranian regimes. He also helped coordinate Hezbollah's operation in Syria.
The Times said Azbar's killing was "at least the fourth assassination mission by Israel in three years against an enemy weapons engineer on foreign soil." Israel has been blamed for the killing of several scientists in recent years, including two Hamas engineers in the last 18 months.
Several strikes on Masyaf have also been attributed to Israel in recent years, the last of which was on July 22.

Since the implementation of the labor contract law, employees' awareness of human rights has been increasing and the phenomenon of "over-protection" has increased.Employees use the labor contract law as a "sword in the hand," and they will be in court with their employers.The personage inside course of study points out: "when an enterprise is to meet a labor dispute case dispute, in addition to large enterprises are willing to hire a professional lawyer, most of the small and medium-sized enterprises to choose silence, which on the one hand, with the current" hire difficult "phenomenon, on the other hand also is closely related to enterprise HR lack of legal knowledge.In order to avoid the negative effects, enterprises have chosen to avoid the negative effects, and to some extent, it has exacerbated the occurrence of employees' excessive rights protection, which has restricted the development of the enterprise itself.
At present, many enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises have recognized labor legal risk prevention and control of importance, but because of the constraints, hire a professional legal experts, corporate consultant is not realistic for most small and medium-sized enterprises, in view of this situation, some enterprises have tried to other more practical methods of prevention and control."In order to effectively resolve disputes over labor disputes, the company has introduced the first domestic HR management system platform, e-lawyer," said HR manager of a medium-sized manufacturing company in shenyang.
"We have tried to use well-known HR software before, but it is a system for human resource professionals. The law is still a blank.Now, to all the staff of the labor contract making, small to work in an hour time to cope with the standard of compensation, we are in, the working process of a hires to all involved in the details of the labor law, leaving the company have a right-hand man, many previous cannot solve the problem is solved."The person said the company has since applied the e-lawyer software platform, and the entire human resource management system has been further improved.
According to the product developer divide the huaxia foreign related expert introduction, E - lawyer for enterprise human resources management in the legal category of professional products, labor law and labor risk control platform, by professional software (labor law assistant) and online experts, attorney platform (online) xanadu labor of two parts, can effectively regulate labor management process, labor law to prevent risks, precipitation and solve labor legal part of the human resources management, so as to improve enterprise core competitive ability.E-lawyer opens up new ways to control the risk of labor law, and it is possible for small and medium-sized enterprises to avoid the increase of the risk level of labor law.

Taxi-sharing app Uber and music-streaming app Spotify are teaming up so passengers can listen to their own music choices during rides, trying to link the online with the real world.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek made the announcement during on a conference call with reporters on Monday, touting the seamless service if users link their two accounts.
"For Uber, it's the first time we have personalized the experience inside the car. For music lovers, that's nirvana," said Kalanick, adding the service launches on Friday in 10 cities including New York, London, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.
Ek added that most people listen to Spotify in three ways – in one's home, on the go, and in the car. "We thought what about the next generation transportation system, so Uber is an obvious fit for us," Ek said. "We think it takes the Spotify experience to the next level."
It also targets a younger audience including millennials who may not own their cars but are gravitating to the Uber service.
The companies declined to disclose the financial terms of the partnership, refusing to say whether there would be revenue sharing, saying only it would benefit both companies.
The move is another attempt by Uber — which bills itself as a technology company and not a taxi company — to prove its service is more than just getting customers from point A to point B.
User must be subscribers to Spotify's premium service to access their individual playlist or they can use a city playlist complied by Uber staff in those cities.
Ek promised trial offers would be available to people who want to try out the music streaming service.
Uber and UberX drivers have the option to decline joining the program, but if they do, then if a user wants the Spotify service when hailing an Uber driver, then their car won't show up in the app.
Drivers would need to connect their Uber phone to their car audio system.
Kalanick dismissed suggestion that enabling music in Uber cars might result in tensions between drivers and customers over certain tastes.
"If somebody comes in with death metal, and wants it really loud, the good thing is the driver has control over how loud that going to be," he said, adding the company will watch to see how it rolls out in the coming weeks.

He promised that Uber would make adjustments if it sees tension points.
"Remember, people get into cars all the time and ask, 'Hey, can you turn it on this station,'" Kalanick said. "This may be a higher fidelity approach to picking the music you want."

[Exhibition] LIFE AT THE EDGES: "Roscosmoe" @ Science Gallery Dublin
Why did the sea worm want to go to space?
Roscosmoe aims to develop and design a series of experiences and bioregenerative life-support systems to assess the behavior of the photosymbiotic marine worm Symsagittifera roscoffensis in a variety of gravitational environments, including zero gravity conditions. The interdisciplinary project Roscosmoe aims to study the potential of terrestrial and marine biodiversity in the field of space research. It connects marine biology, design, anthropology of science and intermedia art.
The rhythm of tides is a gravitational manifestation that results from lunar cycles. The species inhabiting this zone at the interface between the sea and the land have developed adaptations that shed light on behaviors in fluctuating, hyper-variable environments (life at the edges).
The Roscosmoe project takes on board the Symsagittifera roscoffensis, a marine worm from the Breton coastline, a "plant-animal" 3 to 4 mm long, whose way of life stimulates the curiosity of research in biology. It is in fact the photosynthetic activity of the micro-algae, which it shelters under its epidermis, which supplies the essential of its nutritive contributions. This partnership is called photosymbiosis, from photo, "light" and symbiosis, "who lives with". These photosynthetic marine animals live in colonies on the tidal zones of the Atlantic coast.
The biology of S. roscoffensis makes this marine species a potential model for the development of bio-regenerative life-support systems applied to space research: oxygen production, recycling of CO2 and waste nitrogen metabolism from the animal by hosted micro-algae, regenerative capacities of tissues (including the brain), energy autonomy ("embedded photosynthesis"). It is the controlled life cycle in the laboratory at the Roscoff Biological Station (marine institute in Brittany, France) which allows today to consider the design of research protocols involving this marine model in the space field.
The installation at the Science Gallery Dublin presents the first study of an autonomous module whose objective is to maintain in the long term the ecological conditions of a colony of S. roscoffensis marine worms in a closed circulating system. The design methodology of the Roscosmoe module is part of the UMBOT::MG Postgravityart artists collective research and based on the models of frugal science and open source and is implemented by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, artists, designers and researchers in the humanities.

Manager: "Why does this work order have a due date of 11/6 when the order isn't due until 12/8?"
Fish: Because you changed it when you released it.
Manager: "Oh, how do you know that?"
Fish: I looked at the change history of that work order and it shows you changed it. And by the way, the change history is where you should be looking to answer this question.
Manager: "Then why is it on the report?"
Fish: What report?
Manager: "I'm not sure."
Fish: Then how do you know it's on the report if you're not sure which report?
Manager: "Because my boss said it was."
Fish: Did you look at all your reports to see if it was on any of them?
Manager: "No, I haven't."
Fish: You should, in order to determine which report he's referring too.
Manager: "OK, hold on while I look."
A few minutes later...
Manager: "It's not on any of them. Why not?"
Fish: Seriously? Why is it on the report or why isn't it on the report?
Manager: "I'm not sure."
Fish: When you are, please call me back.

I am new with IDA assembler and i used to work with hopper app. the problem is i can't change instruction in IDA from something like CBNZ to NOP. is there any button to do this? i can't find anything on the internet and I have been searching for it all day. I have tried many options from the edit menu.
@Biswapriyo never understood that kind of advice, so since you repeated it, let me ask: why not change this to an unconditional jump? Why just invert the jump condition? – 0xC0000022L♦ Jan 14 '19 at 9:43
NOTE: I'm assuming you're using IDA 7.X, although this should work equally well for 6.X versions.
The option you're looking for is called
Patch Program. For your specific question, you'd do the following:
- Select the instruction you want to change
- Go to
Edit -> Patch Program -> Assemble
- Replace the instruction in the text box with the instruction you'd like it to be.
- Click OK
The original instruction will now have been replaced with the new one.
This article has more info and examples of using the other options in the
Patch Program submenu.
thank you for your answer. I have tried that before. the program says: sorry, this processor module doesn't support the assembler, I am trying to patch an ios arm7 app. – jimuty Jan 13 '19 at 5:36
1Are you using the free version? If you are, this might be a side effect of that. It's also possible that the error message is accurate and that feature really isn't available for iOS binaries; I'm not sure. Regardless, here are two examples of people using alternative methods to patch iOS binaries; maybe one of them will help. zdziarski.com/blog/?p=2172 resources.infosecinstitute.com/… – hairlessbear Jan 13 '19 at 7:33

Craig Lancaster and Elisa Lorello are authors fairly new to the Boothbay region and are celebrating a new first – co-authorship.
Elisa's main characters are predominantly women whereas Lancaster's are men, the couple explained – no surprise there. However, they decided to shake things up a little bit with "You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky" by having Lorello write the novel's soft and sweet Linus Travers and Lancaster write the harder-edged Jo-Jo Middlebury.
"It was an interesting way for each of us to stretch ourselves, but it was also cool in what came out … The third character in the book, Mr. Blue Sky, is kind of a guardian angel, a stand-in for the universe," said Craig.
With romantic comedy being a fun and interesting genre, both writers wanted to do something refreshing and bring the changed dynamic a little further. Mr. Blue Sky was that selling point for them.
"We didn't find an interest in the story without Mr. Blue Sky. He's not hands on, so to speak, he's not manipulating the events of their lives," said Elisa.
In other words, he's their Puck, their circa 1990s John Madden voiceover, just with more of an affinity for the Fonz than the Favre, Lancaster said of the 1970s loving angel.
However, that is all they will hazard to spoil on the subject of their new book. Just as interesting as their stories in fiction are their stories about themselves and how they feel about what they do.
Before she could call herself a full-time author, Elisa was teaching at North Carolina State University when she self-published her first novel, "Faking It," in 2009. Likewise, Lancaster's first novel, "600 Hours of Edward," came out in late 2009 right in the middle of his journalism career.
"At the time I would say I'm kind of married to teaching right now, but I'm kind of having an affair with novel writing," Elisa said.
Both said their separate journeys into full-time writing were very interesting because everything happened or fell into place around the same times in their lives. Elisa started writing full time in 2012, Craig in 2013. Their first novels, both self-published, came out in 2009. They were subsequently picked up by the same publisher at the same time.
Said Craig, "It's been a few years since I've defined myself as a full-time writer. I'm a full-time jack of all trades … The breakaway from the traditional idea of you have a job that you go to five days a week, 52 weeks a year happened in 2013. You never say 'never' because you never know what you're going to need to do or want to do. I'm having a lot more fun working five jobs than I ever had working one."
The writers draw a clear distinction between fame and success: The two are not synonymous. "You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky" is Elisa's 11th novel and Craig's eighth. Elisa has also published two nonfiction books and Craig, one collection of short stories.
"We've been successful, but we haven't become famous. Writing and publishing 13 books is a quite a feat," said Craig.
"I don't think I could have seen that back in 2009 when I published my first one. I was thinking 'If I can sell this to people who aren't related to me, I will be very, very happy.' That was my goal back then and it's kind of my goal again."
When Lorello and Lancaster talk about writing, it's always about the craft and the world they are creating and never about the ins and outs of selling a book.
Said Craig, "We'll see where this book goes. Whether it succeeds wildly or fails miserably in the marketplace, it's not a failure because we love it. We love what we do."
"You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky" is available via online channels, as an e-book, and in audiobook format through Audible and iTunes. Any bookstore can order the paperback.

I've had worse cuts shaving…
David Pethers, 33, a father-of-one from east London, was left bleeding after the 29-year-old cut him in the neck with a Stanley knife during the confrontation.
'I was dragged away, I was bleeding from the neck. I know it sounds crazy, but I went back to have another go,' he told MailOnline.
Stanley knife eh? It doesn't even look like it cut flesh. That guy has had a blunt razor, been a bit worse for wear after a night out in Leytonstone and been a little careless with the Bic and decided to leave his beard be for the day.
Here we have a guy who just slashed a guy in the throat so much that there was a huge pile of blood (as if someone had just taken a bucketfull and poured it out in fact – far more likely I'd say) on the floor and YET, he doesn't have an ounce of blood on him. Not a bloodstain on those nice clean tan trousers. Nor on his nice clean grey jacket.
Now, re the last photo: Would you just hang around – even with two cops there with tasers – while a nutter with a knife seemed to be wanting to slash people's throats?
Another thing: The nutter with the knife just stands there WAITING for the police to take him down. I've seen this before like with drummer boy Lee where the two nutters just ran at the police. Well this guys is essentially doing the same thing while there is an o;d geezer (and others) just behind him who he could have grabbed as a hostage and threatened to slit his throat too if the police moved a muscle. But did he? This is a crazed terrorist you know! This is meant to be a guy who wants to take out as many people as he can.
Here's another thing: Why do all these guys wear balaclavas and then wait around to get taken down by the Police? You wear a balaclava for the purposes of not being recognised and then making a getaway with something yet these guys LOVE to wait for the police.

Your Stories: Clarence Martin
"Your Stories" is shared with the intent to inform, connect, inspire, and build community, as we learn about each others' lives.
Jordan Weidler, Ministry Intern, interviewed several people, asking them about their spiritual journey. He was astounded and touched by the stories and generosity he encountered. This is one of those stories.
About a month ago, I met individually with five longtime members of Neffsville Mennonite Church. I had to interview them for a writing project that was a part of my work at Seminary. Walking away from these interviews, I was struck by the depth of faith each member exemplified. One man, in particular, had me sitting in my car afterward with tears in my eyes, thanking God for the opportunity to meet such a loving and godly person. That man is Clarence H. Martin.
He has no shortage of humor. When I first walked into his apartment and introduced myself, Clarence remarked "I didn't realize I'd see such a short person. What are you, 7 feet?" Instantly, I felt comfortable and able to be myself in Clarence's presence. He has a kind of charm about him that is disarming and downright wonderful. During the majority of the interview, I figured that Clarence was somewhere between the age of 75 and 80. He had an outgoing personality, walked around with no trouble at all, talked about his daily 1 mile walks, and was a master storyteller. Towards the end of my time with him, I discovered my guess of his age was about 20 years off. Clarence is 98, soon to turn 99 on December 15. It took me a few minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor after discovering this.
After our introductions, Clarence and I quickly connected over conversation about farm life. Clarence grew up on a farm in the tiny village of Frogtown, Pennsylvania. At the age of six, Clarence was put to work on his farm. After school each day, it was his job to collect the eggs. "Sometimes there was a bossy hen that would peck my hand when I wanted to take her eggs. And sometimes there was a cocky rooster that would worry me," says Clarence. When Clarence turned 12, he was given the task of getting up at 5:30 every morning to milk the cows before breakfast. Clarence remarks on this experience. "In the winter it felt good to press your body against a warm cow in a cold barn. Sometimes I almost fell asleep. The cow must have been very patient. Occasionally one would become impatient and put her foot in the pail when it was almost full."
The farm wasn't all work, however. Clarence tells great stories about playing in the meadow. Since the upper meadow was out of sight, Clarence and his siblings would build fires there. "This is was so much fun because we know we weren't supposed to do it. A little naughtiness is very intriguing" recalls Clarence. Perhaps this is also why he and his brothers built a dam in the summertime to create a four-foot deep swimming hole. "At one point it overflowed the bank and made a big puddle in the meadow. We trampled it until we made a nice muddy hog hollow. We would go skinny dipping and roll in the mud until we were completely covered and then dive in the swimming hole. O! What fun that was!"
When Clarence turned 16, he started "running around," a term which means socializing with other young people and dating. Clarence remarks on an interesting social norm back then: "We always went to Weaverland Young People Meeting on Saturday evening. After the meeting, we younger fellows would drive around and spy on dating couples. This was called 'scouting'. It was a very common thing in our Mennonite Society…We would invite ourselves into the house and make a nuisance of ourselves until the girls would serve us a treat and then we would leave and go harass another couple." Nothing like young teenage boys hungry for a treat! Eventually, though, Clarence began dating and enjoyed the Sunday night outings when multiple couples would go out to Miley's ice cream parlor in Ephrata to get a big ice cream cone for 5 cents. "I don't think money can buy happiness because I don't see how you could have more fun than we did." At the age of 19, Clarence saw all his peers "going steady" with each other while Clarence was yet to be in a long-term relationship. Clarence recalls, "I remember really well one night I kneeled by my bed and I prayed 'Lord, lead me to a lady that I can love and cherish all of my life.'" And so a few months later, on April 2, 1939, Clarence went on his first date with a girl named Mary Martin. Clarence was lucky enough to keep things rolling with this wonderful girl (though I saw a picture of Clarence when he was twenty and can understand Mary's interest). They married on August 2, 1941.
One of the most moving aspects to my time with Clarence was seeing his love for Mary shine. Mary passed away in January of 2016. Clarence commented several times throughout the interview how incredible Mary was. "Oh she was a wonderful wife, just a wonderful wife." Clarence showed me a childhood picture of Mary when she was five years old. "Look," said Clarence lovingly, "she was beautiful already." Clarence absolutely adored Mary. He talked about the night Mary passed away and how he cried and prayed like never before.
"We had a wonderful love life. She was a wonderful companion. I still miss her. I dream a lot about her. Almost every night, I dream of all the things we used to do together. She was everything that I desired." They were married for 74 and a half years.
In 1943, Clarence and Mary had their first child, Jane Marie. Three years later they had a son and named him Dale Eugene. In 1951, they bought a farm in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. After several decades living the life of a farmer and raising the family, Clarence and Mary returned to the Lancaster area and began attending Neffsville Mennonite Church in the early 1980's.
When Clarence and Mary first began attending Neffsville Mennonite Church, Clarence heard a sermon that stuck with him forever. He recalls, "The Pastor one morning preached about being an encourager. That stuck in my mind. I made my mind up. That's what I want to be." And so Clarence set out to be an encouragement to other people and he still does this today. "If I can make a person smile, that's good pay for a day's work," said Clarence, smiling himself. After volunteering at Ten Thousand Villages for several years in his eighties and nineties, and experiencing a little fatigue one day, Clarence's doctor said to him, "You're 94 years old now. Maybe you should slow down a little." Clarence did slow down, but indeed only a little. He still meets with a half-dozen people once or twice a week to encourage them and help them. "Sometimes I pray and ask God, why am I still here, almost 99 years old? I must be here for a purpose. I believe God has kept me healthy for a reason and I want to keep helping people."
I think Clarence got paid overtime the day I visited because not only did I walk away from that meeting with a smile but also with tears in my eyes. Tears of joy and gratitude for having met such a wonderful human being and lover of God who has been a member of Neffsville Mennonite Church longer than I have been alive.

Actors Alec Baldwin and Scott Eastwood are teaming up to star in "Crown Vic", a futuristic cop thriller.
Joel Souza, who helmed an indie "Ghost Squad", is directing the project, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Souza is working off his own script.
The project tells of a young, idealistic rookie (Eastwood) who is partnered with a grizzled vet (Baldwin).
The younger cop is appalled at the older man's cynical take on the job, but before the end of the night he will find his own ideals tested and compromised.
Baldwin, 58, appeared in "Concussion" with Will Smith and is set to appear in Warren Beatty's untitled Howard Hughes movie.
30-year-old Eastwood, who starred in the Nicholas Sparks adaptation "The Longest Ride", will be seen in this summer's "Suicide Squad".

Almost a year since their squad was wiped out in an airplane crash, Brazilian team Chapecoense have achieved what many thought impossible by securing their first division status with a 2-1 win over Vitoria.
The result on Thursday ensured Chapecoense will avoid the drop with three games remaining, having turned down the chance of immunity from relegation after the November 28 crash that killed almost all their players and staff as they flew to Colombia for the final of the Copa Sudamericana.
Seventy-one of the 77 people on board the plane perished and the small team from southern Brazil were forced to rebuild from scratch.
They started the season well and even briefly topped the Serie A table in May but fell away and used three different coaches over the course of the year.
The players marked Thursday's achievement with a repeat of the celebration that made them famous, as players, coaches and directors banged on the dressing room lockers and chanted "Vamos Vamos Chape".
A year ago, a video of the players celebrating in the same way after overcoming San Lorenzo in the Copa Sudamericana semi-final was replayed on screens the world over in the wake of the plane crash.

After Thursday's thunderstorms and hail, Brandon Christopherson saw damage to the farm he works on. Christopherson works at Lockwood Farms in Eden, Idaho, and was out doing other work when he came across the ptoato field farm.
"When we came by here and saw it, it was just, "Ouch,'" he said.
He said the crops will survive, but the plants will struggle.
"This'll set back the crop two to three weeks, probably, because it's got to regrow the leaves," he said.
Christopherson said the crops were "nice and bushy" plants and now they're nearly "mulched."
"It's pretty crazy what the weather can do to crops," he said.
Now, the crop will have to heal itself before producing potatoes. Chistopherson said the hail that struck was about the size of a dime.
"It was just right in between the rows of those spuds. Just handfuls of hail," he said.
They try to plan before a storm, Christopherson said.
"We have our watering schedule and if it comes through and dumps a half-inch of rain, we've got to adjust it so we don't put down too much water," he said.
"Whenever we get a storm, this throws us off. Then we've got to re-plan," he said.
Now they have to wait a few more weeks in the fall before being able to harvest the crop.

PHOENIX — A scout for the San Francisco Giants had a medical issue and was given CPR in the stands behind home plate at Chase Field during Saturday's Giants-Diamondbacks game.
The game was delayed briefly before the start of the third inning while emergency medical personnel attended to the man in a section of field-level seats. It wasn't clear how the man ended up on the concrete beneath his seat, but the section was cleared quickly while security workers and EMTs rushed to the man's side.
The medical workers gave CPR to the man before strapping him to a stretcher and taking him out of the seating area. Fans applauded as the man was rushed up the steps to the concourse.
Stadium staff said the man was a Giants scout and said he was taken to a hospital and was breathing on his own.
Diamondbacks players stopped their warmups on the field and looked into the stands to see what happened. Russ Amaral, Arizona's vice president of ballpark operations, was also on the scene.

Upmarket department store John Lewis has today described its customers as 'mainly bigots with a thin veneer of civilisation'. The firm explained its decision not to withdraw advertising from tabloids accused of spreading hate: 'Years of market research and investment in focus groups proves that our core demographic is a white, late-middle-aged couple from Woking – who buy the Telegraph for the crossword but read the Daily Mail cover to cover'.
While winsome adverts tempt customers with luxury kitchen goods and superb soft furnishings, the subtext is that no one in the EU makes anything this good because they are all too busy getting raped by Syrian terrorists. Likewise regular customers will often discard a precise shade of green velour they spent months looking for, just because it turns out to be from Pakistan; while quoting a 'Mail' article demonstrating the link between brain cancer and fabrics woven by brown people.
Then in the car on the way home, they will discuss their suspicion that the Polish girl at the till short-changed them, which would never happen with that nice young man in the food hall who can not afford to live in Bromley any more because of 'all the darkies and benefit scroungers' pushing up rents. They would, of course, never use the word 'darkie' to anyone else, although they wish they could.
One executive added: How else are we supposed to reach that kind of hate-filled audience in print? We tried the Times, but that just produced a 12% drop in summer sales and a massive rise in enquiries about tweed. We're a partnership, meaning that all employees benefit from sustained growth in revenue, even the ones with funny accents – who most of our customers wish would bugger off back where they came from'.

The Science of Fitness Simplified
Being fit and being healthy go hand and hand. There is such an overwhelming amount of information available, that does not all agree, and it can be difficult to ascertain what is right, even though at times. No matter how hard it may seem, never give up. You can stay healthy and live a good lifestyle if you follow these tips.
Consider purchasing a session or two with a personal trainer if you are new to working out. A trainer who is worth his fee will ask you questions to confirm what you want to get out of your exercise regime. This includes which areas you have issues with (like your weight) and what routine will work best to help you achieve your goals. Although your first gym session can be scary, you can breeze right through it by hiring a professional to get you started. The trainer will help you start off on the right foot.
Incorporating a wide range of movements is a great way to optimize results. If you often workout on the treadmill, try running through the neighborhood. The different kinds of stress that the different exercises put on the body will yield different results. If you mix up your workout routine, your body won't get accustomed to one method of working out, and the pounds will keep sliding off.
Doing some simple pushups can be a great way to tone up triceps. To isolate the triceps, bring your arms and hands close to your body and bend your arms back, rather than out to the sides, as you lower into your push-up. This move will tone up your triceps in no time.
Come up with unique ideas when you are planning your fitness program. There are a large number of activities that you can engage in without using a gym. This is also a great way to stay motivated to lose weight.
Crunches aren't going to give you a six pack, no matter how many you do. You can use abdominal exercises to make muscles more strong, but the belly fat will remain. The way to achieve washboard abs is to reduce the total amount of fat in your body by implementing an improved diet and lots of cardiovascular training.
Always wear appropriate gear on your feet when you work out. Shoes that are specifically designed for the workouts you do will help lessen the risk of painful and frustrating injuries. In addition, it will make you feel uncomfortable when you're done, which can make you not want to exercise as much.
Always wear comfortable clothing while you are exercising. There is some pressure to wear new, high end workout clothing but this is unnecessary, if you use a gym. Choose garments in which you can move comfortably and freely. Good workout attire will help you pay attention to getting into shape and not how bad the clothes look or feel.
Flex your glutes when you lift weights above your head. This is an excellent workout for your butt, but most importantly, it helps you minimize your chance of injury because your body is being forced to position itself more effectively. That position greatly stabilizes your spine.
Fitness has many mental and physical benefits. Your mental health will improve as well if you start a new workout routine. A good workout session releases endorphins, a source of natural euphoria. You also increase your confidence and mood when you work out. Keep that in mind every time you workout, and that you're that much closer to true happiness.
Test out a bench prior to working out on it. Press down to feel the padding and whether or not it can hold your weight. Find another weight bench if you feel wood or metal.
A good fitness routine to help build firm calf muscles is by doing donkey style calf raises. These exercises are exceptionally effective for that muscle group. All you need is a partner who can get on your back while you lift the combined weight with your calves.
Turn your run into three parts. Begin by going slowly, and gradually increase your pace until you're running at your normal rate. For the final third of your run, speed up to a pace that is faster than normal. Following this pattern will allow you to gradually boost your endurance, resulting in a longer run every time you hit the pavement.
Keep your back and front balanced. You put yourself at risk for back pain if you concentrate too much on either your abs or your back muscles. By exercising abdominal and back muscles, you will avoid back pain.
Whenever you have the chance, go outside to exercise. Go for a swim in the nearest lake. Alternatively, go hiking on a natural trail. Play a game of football. Alternatively, enjoy a nice long run. The possibilities are really endless. Being in nature reduces stress and helps your thinking process.
An excellent way to increase your fitness level is to purchase and use a pair of rollerblades. It still proves to be a quick method for calorie burning, even though rollerblading was more popular in the 90s and 80s. Rollerblades can still be found in a lot of sports stores.
With all the different information you can find online, determining the right methods to getting fit and healthy can be confusing. When it comes to fitness, there's certain things that are necessary to stay fit, and other things that may be good for your body, but are not always necessary. Follow the advice in this article, and see how it can help you find a more fit and happier you.
