Are you looking for an office space in New York and don't really know if you should buy or rent in 2018? Well, then this is the right article for you. The decision between these two options can be a difficult one to make, however, we feel that renting is usually the way to go, especially if you are a new business owner and are just starting up. Although buying a space feels very safe for some business owners, in this article we will talk to you about a few advantages of office space for rent to help you see that renting is not bad at all.
You will have less responsibility
Whether you are a new business owner, or the owner of a business that has been running for years, having more responsibilities than necessary can be very overwhelming. When you are the owner of a property that means that you are also responsible for the maintenance, remodeling, security and a number of other management issues associated with the property. This can be very time-consuming and regardless of whether you are just starting out or not, time is not something that you can afford to waste and one of the advantages of office space for rent is that renting an office space will allow you to put that extra time into other parts of the business.
You don't have to put a down payment
When we say that choosing whether to buy or rent in New York can be a difficult decision is, we mean that and a great part of the difficulty of that decision is the budget that you have. If you want to buy an office space then you need to be prepared to pay 20 to 25 percent of the entire price at the beginning, as a down payment and then you will have to mortgage the balance and this kind of money can be difficult to get, especially for a new business. On the other hand, when you are renting a space you are only required to pay one or two months of the lease value before the move in date which is a real advantage for a business that is strapped for money.
You will be able to deduct the payments
As long as the arrangement that you are making is a real lease, then-then one of the advantages of office space for rent is that you will be able to deduct those lease payments as operating expenses. However, for you to be able to do this the contact that you are signing needs to be just right and the Internal Revenue Service's rules need to agree that the lease is, in fact, a real lease.
There are many advantages of office space for rent when it comes to New York, and the ones that we mentioned above are just a few of them, but hopefully they are enough for you to be able to see the benefits of renting a space and realize that you don't necessarily need to buy an office space in order to run a successful business in 2018.

How did you get your little one used to the carrier?
Mine seems to have mixed feelings, ha. He's almost 6 weeks.
Mine seems to have mixed feelings, ha. He's almost 6 weeks.
Many babies who aren't worn from birth can be unhappy about changing the way they're used to being held. To help them get used to it, start with short sessions in the carrier while baby is content. Don't expect it to immediately work for fussy times. Make sure the carrier fits you and baby well and is adjusted right. This means safety first plus comfort - if baby isn't comfortable due to incorrect fit, baby won't like the carrier. Time and experience usually help most things with babies that small. Are you familiar with babywearing safety as you start?

Lotus Series
This series of artworks has been inspired by a recent visit to a lotus garden. The beautiful shapes and patterns of intersecting waterlily leaves, flowers and seed pods are beautiful and peaceful. The lotus flower has long been a symbol of rebirth and purity because of the way the flowers sink into the water to remerge again the next day. I am really enjoying the process of mixing these different shapes and colours together in this new body of work.

International Artwork Shipping
Small artwork
Artworks on paper (including fine art prints) under 40cm will be shipped flat via Australia post with tracking. Flat rate of $40aud, select "International Shipping" during checkout
Any artwork on paper larger than 40cm will be rolled and shipped in a tube via Australia Post with tracking. Flat rate of $40 select "International Shipping" during checkout
Artwork on stretched canvas under 60cm in length will be shipped on the stretched frame in a sturdy box via Australia Post with tracking. Flat rate of $40 select "International Shipping" during checkout.
Large Artwork
Any artwork on stretched canvas that is over 60cm in length will need to be removed from the stretcher bars and shipped rolled in a tube. The customer will then need to take the artwork to a framing business to be stretched and framed again. Re-stretching artworks is common and it is the safest and most affordable option for transporting large artworks on canvas long distances. By rolling the canvas the artwork is less likely to be damaged, it also reduces the cubic size of the package which lowers shipping costs. If you would prefer that i ship the canvas whole and on the stretcher bars, please let me know, however be aware that this will cost substantially more and also raises the likelihood of damage.
The cost of shipping will depend on where the artwork is going and how heavy the final packaging is. For some countries there is also a import tax that will need to be paid by the customer in order to receive the artwork, this amount will also vary from country to country and will depend on the value of the artwork. It is the customers responsibility to research this amount before purchasing.
Please contact me and let me know your location so i can provide you with an estimate for shipping before you commit to purchasing.

Calibrate an Analog Sensor
Calibrating an electronic sensor is a basic skill that many scientists and engineers use when making precise measurements with data-collection tools. Essentially, it means making hardware or software adjustments so that an electronic sensor reads correctly. Many analog sensors use a simple linear calibration, meaning the sensor reading varies in direct proportion to the voltage signal. This makes calibration relatively easy. Examples of these are the Vernier Dual-Range Force Sensor, pH Sensor, and Low-g Accelerometer. Other sensors use complex calibration equations making calibration somewhat harder. Examples of these are the Vernier Stainless Steel Temperature Sensor, Surface Temperature Sensor, Ion-Selective Electrodes, and Wide-Range Temperature Sensor.
This activity challenges you to perform a linear calibration using a Vernier sensor and to verify the accuracy of your model afterward.
- Calibrate an analog sensor
- Check the accuracy of your sensor after calibration
Sensors and Equipment
You can use any of the following:

Some of you may know (and even care!) that in the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook, URLs are no longer part of citations for digital resources. I will quote Mark Sample on this one: "How could one not see that these new guidelines were remarkably misguided?"
Personally, I've been ignoring the new rule. Ok, I suppose "ignoring" isn't true. When my students this fall cited digital resources and dutifully included the URL, I let it go. It's difficult enough to get students to cite at all, for whatever reason (poor training, I believe), so I certainly wasn't going to go negative on them for using the 6th edition instead of the 7th edition of the handbook. In other words, I didn't choose that particular hill to die on, such as it were.
In his blog post on the subject, "The Modern Language Association Wishes Away Digital Différance", Sample clearly articulates the issues at stake (as usual):
In a strange move for a group of people who devote their lives to studying the unique properties of printed words and images, the Modern Language Association apparently believes that all texts are the same. That it doesn't matter what digital archive or website a specific document came from. All that is necessary is to declare "Web" in the citation, and everyone will know exactly which version of which document you're talking about, not to mention any relevant paratextual material surrounding the document, such as banner ads, comments, pingbacks, and so on.
The comments on his post are all good, including the MLA's reasoning behind the change, offered by Rosemary Feal (executive director of the MLA). In short, it's ok to add URLs if we want; the guidelines are meant to be flexible.
So that's a little bit of context for the brief mention of Hari Kunzru's work in a panel at MLA '09.

This article focuses on the fact that engineers at Meritor Automotive decided to learn how truck components really held up on the highways. So they outfitted an 18-wheeler with the company's products for a 24,000-mile trial, in real time and in the real world. According to Meritor, the comprehensive data generated by the test has spurred improvements in brake components, clutches, drivelines, axles, and transmissions. The company claims that the data opens opportunities for improvements in virtually every type of heavy-duty truck component that Meritor builds. The engineers in Meritor's experimental mechanics unit enlisted support from all the groups in the heavy vehicle division. The use of a channel to record clutch pedal displacement helped engineers improve their model for determining the number of clutch applications in a line-haul duty cycle. Meritor expects that this information will lead to improved durability of several clutch components.
Engineers at Meritor Automotive decided that if they wanted to learn how their truck components really held up, there was no place like the highway. So they outfitted an IS- wheel er with the company's products for a 24,OOO-mile trial, in real time and in the real world.
The truck made fourruns on a cross-section of U.S. highways that ran over the Plains, up the Rockies, across the Great Divide, and into intense desert heat. Meritor's engineers set up 51 data-gathering channels that monitored every second on the road.
Dean Goodwin, a Meritor test driver, drove the truck loaded almost to its weight limit on the four loops stretching from Michigan to California and Oregon.
According to Meritor, the comprehensive data generated by the test has spurred improvements in brake components, clutches, drivelines, axles, and transmissions. What's more, the company has said that the data opens opportunities for improvements in virtually every type of heavy-duty truck component that Meritor builds.
Meritor Automotive, which was spun off from Rock well International Corp. in the fall of 1997 , comprises two major business segments: heavy vehicle systems, which is a leading supplier of key components for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, trailers, off- highway equipment, and specialty vehicles (including buses and fire engines); and light vehicle systems, which makes components for passenger cars and light trucks.
Making the Most of the Effort
When engineers conceived the road test, they knew it would yield more continuous freeway operation information than the company had ever gathered before. Meritor operates a large independent testing laboratory in the company's hometown of Troy, Mich., but the road record would tell more about demands on products than lab or track tests could.
In order to extract maximum value from this undertaking, engineers in Meritor's experimental mechanics unit enlisted support from all the groups in the heavy vehicle division.
The test required more than 50 channels of data in order to evaluate the performance of all the components. Accurate modeling required sampling rates up to 1,000 Hz. The internal memory required for data storage was formidable.
Just a few years ago, it would have been impractical to collect and process data on this scale, because the portable equipment available did not have the capacity or analysis capabilities needed to manage the information.
Meritor used the Series 2500 Field Computer System from SoMat Corp. of Champaign , Ill ., to monitor 16 data channels at sampling rates of 100 to 1,000 Hz. It also converted time history data into time-at-level histograms in real time.
Time histories wererequired, on an intermittent basis, on several channels that monitored accelerometers mounted on axles and other components to detect vibration . A history was required only of the short intervals when the components vibrated enough to cause possible fatigue damage.
Another 35 channels of information, including various temperatures and pressures, were sampled at a rate of once per second by a Campbell Scientific CR 7X computer.
Loads , Instruments, and Drives
Meritor 's vehicle was an instrumented test tractor and a 45-foot van trailer loaded to a gross vehicle weight of 78,440 lbs. The tractor was equipped with Meritor 145 series (3.73) ratio carriers, a Meritor nine-speed overdrive transmission, and a high-torque, low-rpm N1 4-460E Cummins engine that develops 460 horsepower at 1,700 rpm. T h e Cummins engine was also equipped with a Cummins C Brake that develops 454 hp at 2,100 rpm.
Goodwin's routes were plotted to represent the actual conditions, including some of the extremes, that customers face.
The first run, with the engine brake activated , covered 8,200 miles from Troy, Mich., to Salt Lake City, Portland, Sacramento, and Reno, then back to Salt Lake City and to Troy.
The second run was 4,981 miles, with the engine brake off, from Troy to Salt Lake City to Portland, with a return trip by the same route. The third run repeated the second route, with the engine brake on.
Engine brakes hydraulically control the exhaust valves to generate reverse torque, which can be as great as the maximum drive torque exerted by the engine. In recent years, the popularity of engine brakes has grown to the point where possibly more than half of the heavy-duty trucks on the road have them. In this test, Meritor engineers could precisely measure how an engine brake affects loading of the drivetrain .
The 6,232-mile fourth test run was performed using 145 series 2.80 ratio carriers and a Meritor 10-speed direct transmission instead of the 3.73 ratio carriers and nine- speed overdrive transmission that were used for the first three runs. This change was made to compare the engine torque and driveline torque of the two powertrain configurations. The fourth run included a trip from Salt Lake City south to Las Vegas, on to Bars tow, Calif., in the Mojave Desert, and then back to Salt Lake City. The side trip provided a chance to record the performance of components operating in ambient temperatures approaching 120°F.
The data generated during the day was stored in digital memory. An engineer along for the ride uploaded the data to a lap top at the middle and end of each test day. At the close of the day, files were compressed and transmitted by modem to Meritor's technical center in Troy.
Seen as Never Before
The test results provided Meritor engineers with an unprecedented look at their components over long hauls.
Drive axle and air chamber bracket accelerations were used to develop new lab shaker tests for brake components. These new tests provided a greater knowledge of loading conditions and made it possible to adapt designs to increase product life.
Driveline torque data was used to fine-tune Meritor's drivetrain fatigue life analysis software. The result was an improvement in the accuracy of the program, leading to reductions in cost and weight as well as improvements in durability.
The use of a channel to record clutch pedal displacement helped engineers improve their model for determining the number of clutch applications in a line-haul duty cycle. Meritor expects that this information will lead to improved durability of several clutch components.
This 24,000-mile, 51 -channel line-haul has already resulted in a series of product improvements, and the company expects many more in the years to come.

Sylvio is a supernatural horror game developed by Stroboskop, using the Unity game engine. Sylvio was originally released back in 2015, and slowly gained popularity for being an original supernatural horror game, with a unique story and interesting game mechanics.
For those of you that don't know what Sylvio was all about, it takes place in the Saginaw theme part after a deadly landslide destroyed majority of the park and killed hundreds of people with it.
Players assume the role of a woman named Juliette Waters, a supernatural specialist that utilizes electronic recording equipment to capture the electronic Voice Phenomena around her. In other words, she records the whispers of ghosts as an EVP specialist.
Juliette makes her way to the park to learn the truth behind the landslide, and ends up discovering some really interesting secrets behind the people and the events surrounding the park. I watched a Let's Play series on YouTube after finding the game by mistake, and I became completely hooked with the strange story and unique gameplay elements with how you had to record the messages, decipher them using different playback settings, and hunt down ghosts to find new clues to piece the story together.
One of the best parts was that the game was naturally scary without having to force the theme. Sylvio is now preparing for a sequel, but due to issues with funding the development was placed on hold and will pick back up late in 2016. To fill in the gap between now and the release for Sylvio 2 , the developer has decided to remaster the original Sylvio with upgraded graphics using the new Unity 5 game engine. You can take a look at the original Sylvio gameplay trailer and then the remastered gameplay trailer down below.
The new remastered version of Sylvio launched just two weeks ago on May 2, and is now currently available for purchase and download. One of the best parts about this new upgrade is that the developer has decided to give it away for free to all existing customers, and simply released it as an update patch. If you already own Sylvio and you either never got around to playing it, or maybe would like to play through it again a second time, all you need to do is update the game and jump in. The new remastered version also has updated controller support, a new GUI, and improved game mechanics.
If you would like to support Stroboskop and help fund him for Sylvio 2, you can head over to his Patreon page. To learn more about Sylvio Remastered, you can head on over to the Steam store page, as well as the official website for further details.

I've got to hand it to former Channel 4 meteorologist Amelia Segal.
She sure can keep a secret.
It wasn't until a day before her departure from WIVB-TV that just about everybody inside her station learned where she is headed this afternoon.
WRC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C., announced Wednesday that Segal is joining the station's weather team on March 11. It is quite an achievement since D.C. is a Top 10 market.
According to sources, Segal is probably going to start with some morning and early afternoon work at WRC before eventually becoming the weekend meteorologist.
The announcement came about a month after stilltalkintv speculated that Segal was planning to leave the station after the end of the February sweeps when her contract expires and was upset that she wasn't allowed to leave a few months earlier to work for a D.C. station near her hometown in Maryland.
Segal never returned my Facebook messages or telephone calls but it would appear that the D.C. station held the job for Segal.
I understood why Channel 4 wouldn't let her go early. It had already lost its two "Wake Up!" co-anchors in the last six months. They were replaced by co-anchors Diana Fairbanks and Jordan Williams. With Segal's departure, the "Wake Up!" team is now going to be all new in a time slot in which viewers usually crave consistency.
Channel 4 has been looking for Segal's replacement for weeks and has brought in at least one person for an interview. It hasn't announced anyone has been hired to replace Segal on the stations' 4 Warn Weather roster. Since weather is a big deal on the station, you would expect someone would be hired more quickly for the position than has been hired to fill other slots at the station.
The big question this morning was whether Channel 4's management would allow Segal to say goodbye after three years.
It did. Segal gave a very classy goodbye speech this morning and said she had a "wonderful new opportunity" and "my time spent here has been absolutely wonderful."
"It was great forecasting the weather here, very challenging," said Segal. "You learn a lot about doing it every day. I thank (the audience) for letting me come into your home."
Segal, who was moved from the weekends to the mornings late in 2011, noted it is hard to get up so early in the morning and praised her co-workers in the morning for helping her.
She even praised the station's managers who prevented her from leaving early, saying "they've been just great."
Of course, Segal isn't the first on-air staffer to praise management in a goodbye speech. It almost seems to be a requirement if you're going to be allowed to give one.
"You look at your resume tape when you get to a place and look back three years later and say, 'I appreciate you believing in me and seeing where I can potentially get to," concluded Segal. "Thanks so much Western New York, it's been great."
Segal is right — she noticeably improved from when she arrived at Channel 4 three years ago after spending a few years seasoning at an Erie, Pa. station right out of Penn State.
That used to be the norm for local TV here. But now some on-air staffers are put on the air straight out of college or with very little experience and given on-the-job training.
I've been accused by some friends and readers of being too soft on Channel 4 sportscaster Lauren Brill. I have criticized her on several occasions, but I don't blame her as much as I blame management for hiring her with so little on-air experience. She arrived from cable's MSG Varsity channel and did well enough there to get a couple of Emmy nominations this year.
However, Brill needed a few years in Erie or Elmira for seasoning before coming here and getting what amounts to on-the-job training. That's why I give her a little break.
In case you missed it while watching the Oscars Sunday, the WNY newlyweds, Max and Katie Bichler, on "The Amazing Race" survived the second episode. The Oscars took a big bite out of Channel 4's audience but "Race" still earned a decent 5.8 rating here and I imagine anyone who cares about the reality series watched it On Demand if they have the capability. I passed but it is on my DVR list.

Eyes with Polette
Polette 'Columbia' glasses c/o, Anthropologie romper, Old Navy cargo jacket, Target sandals, Daniel Wellington watch, Nashelle necklace, and Kendra Scott necklace
I adore how affordable Polette glasses are and just received this pair and LOVE them! It's fun to be able to mix and match them with my mood and what I'm wearing. And since most pairs are under $30 with my prescription - it's super easy to get a new pair whenever I spot a new style I like. Like this casual outfit I like wearing this semi-classic style of glasses. Easy peasy.
STYLE TIP: When you are picking out a pair of glasses be sure to understand what styles you are naturally drawn too. And what styles will work with your face shape. This can be a bit difficult - but your eye doctor can give you your pupil distance. Just make sure to order a pair that your pupils will sit in the middle of. This will create the most flattering look for you!
And this outfit is one I LITERALLY wear all the time! Love it so much!

The Reluctant Writer – Tips on Inspiring Students to Write
Many are familiar with "math anxiety," a term used to describe students who freeze when confronted with numbers. Countless individuals suffer similarly in regard to writing, although the affliction lacks a catchy name (Don't-Wanna-Writis, perhaps?). For those who suffer from this affliction, the idea of composing a paragraph – let alone a complete essay or story – induces bottomless panic. I've seen it happen many times. Friends, classmates, and even my own mother have expressed a deep-seated lack of confidence when tasked to string sentences together. Their minds go blank. They fear sounding contrived or pedantic. They think to themselves, "I wasn't born to do this. I don't know how to do this. This is not for me."
What would make you a better writer?
An August 23rd blog post on edweek.org written by California high school humanities teacher Britt Shirk includes a pie chart that details students' responses when asked what would make them better writers. I wasn't surprised to see that 40% of students reported a need to feel more confident and honest on the page.
I have two secrets to tell them. The first is this: no one is born a writer. No one. Not Stephen King. Not Shakespeare. Not J.K. Rowling. Babies aren't born knowing how to write a good story or compose a compelling speech, just as babies aren't born knowing how to properly paint with oils. It is a skill that has to be learned and consistently honed to achieve some measure of success. We all start at the same baseline of zero when it comes to writing ability.
The second secret is: you and your doubts are in good company. Even professional writers – perhaps especially professional writers – feel this way sometimes. We fear a mark is being missed. We fear our characters are not sympathetic, relatable, or interesting. We fear that our style or point of view choices will be questioned. Grammar, clarity, imagery, punctuation, tone – there are many variables that work together to create a whole piece, and wrangling them all at once does not come easy. Writing is a vast sea, containing endless permutations and possibilities.
…And students are, too. There is no set "way" to write, just as there is no default way to be a person. Students are nuanced individuals who will respond more excitedly to assignments that pique their interest than to ones seemingly generated from thin air. A student who is interested in martial arts, for example, will find it easier to compare and contrast Kung Fu and Judo than she will with two other topics. While clearly the end goal is for students to be strong writers on any subject, that's not the place to start when trying to encourage a comfort in the medium. A novice writer needs to start on a subject in which they feel a measure of knowledge and control. Only after they are comfortable writing in this arena can they branch out into new territory.
The Value of Small Assignments
Of course, teachers don't have the time to let students move at a snail's pace as they grow comfortable with writing. This is why small assignments meant to encourage confidence in writing should be given in tandem with regular classwork. These can entail 100-word daily journal entries on a selection of prompts, or on the subject of a student's choosing. Students can write responses to films or books they enjoy, or react to current events. They can also play writing games in which each person adds a sentence to a story to show the possibilities inherent in the written word.
The Writing Workshop
While in pursuit of my writing degree, the most useful tool, by far, was the writing workshop. During a workshop, student work was distributed among other participants for focused, public critique. This method is useful because it can be brutal – no one is a harsher critic than an actual, unbiased audience. Students who fret about writing and are shy about their desire to improve may not benefit from this. Such an experience will only be beneficial if all participating students have an active interest in improving their writing and don't mind hearing what their peers have to say. One choice may be to create a voluntary writing workshop participation to which students can sign up. The pieces can be of pre-set length and subject, or on varied subjects. Large-scale discussion of a piece of writing is a good way for students to understand the perception of an audience, and how words and ideas can transform as they travel from the brain, to the page, to another's brain.
Improvement Doesn't Happen Overnight
Many students' improvement pace will be incremental at first – and that's fine. Lasting improvement doesn't happen overnight. It will happen as the student grows more comfortable using words to convey ideas. The result will be the interweaving of increased writing confidence with the predetermined class material. Vocabulary, structure, and other elements of writing will begin to improve organically so long as a student's interests are combined with challenge and guidance.

Purpose :
To evaluate the subfoveal choroidal thickness of before and after focal laser photocoagulation in the patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy.
Methods :
In this retrospective and comparative study, patients who were treated with focal laser photocoagulation under the diagnosis of acute central serous chorioretinopathy, and whose subretinal fluid was resolved after treatment were enrolled. The patients who were regularly followed up for more than 6 months were included. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), subfoveal central choroidal thickness(SCCT) and existence of pigment epithelium detachment(PED) were examined before and after laser photocoagulation. And the height and width of subretinal fluid(SRF) before treatment were also evaluated. The correlations among various parameters were analyzed using spearman correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and paired t-test. We also speculated the age related factors.
Results :
Thirty three eyes of thirty three patients were treated with focal laser photocoagulation. The average BCVA was improved from 0.25 ± 0.27 to 0.13 ± 0.21 with statistical significance in logarithm of the minimal angle resolution(LogMAR) scale after treatment(p<0.05). The average thickness of SCCT decreased from 428.8 ± 67.4µm to 405.1 ± 64.1µm with statistical significance after treatment(p<0.01). On the analysis of choroidal thickness, decrease in haller's layer was significantly related to the decrease in SCCT(p<0.05). PED were observed in 12 eyes before treatment and disappeared after then in 10 eyes. Among the other parameters, there is no significant correlation with SCCT before and after treatment.
Conclusions :
We found that focal laser photocoagulationcan reduce the subfoveal choroidal thickness, especially haller's layer, in the eyes with acute central chorioretinopathy. This study may help understanding the mechanism of focal laser photocoagulation in management of central chorioretinopathy.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's call for new job-creation measures won't make it easier to reach a budget-cutting deal with Republicans in Congress, but it could make it easier for him to win reelection next year.
As the Democratic president pushes Congress to complete a deal that would avoid a potentially catastrophic debt default, Obama must balance the concerns of two very different groups: Republicans who want deep spending cuts and independent voters who are struggling to make headway in a sluggish economy.
Guess who got more sympathy on Wednesday at Obama's first formal press conference since March? Hint: it wasn't the group that he compared to his school-age children.
"Malia and Sasha generally finish their homework a day ahead of time. ... They don't wait until the night before, they're not pulling all-nighters. They're 13 and 10. You know, Congress can do the same thing," he said at a news conference.
Obama's stance makes it more likely that Congress will be pulling all-nighters as an August 2 deadline for raising the debt ceiling approaches.
His call for new construction loans and an extended payroll-tax break would probably add hundreds of billions of dollars to budget deficits in the short term.
That makes it more difficult for negotiators to reach the $2 trillion plus dollars in deficit savings that will likely be needed for Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit before early August, when the Treasury Department says it will run out of money to cover the nation's bills.
It's possible that Obama has other numbers in mind. The U.S. Federal Reserve projects that the unemployment rate, now at 9.1. percent, will be around 8 percent when he comes up for reelection in November 2012. In recent decades, no president has been reelected with unemployment over 7.2 percent.
Neither job-creation proposal is new — Obama backed additional construction spending last year, and the White House floated a payroll-tax break extension several weeks ago. Senate Democrats last week called for both proposals to be included in the budget talks, right before they hit a standstill.
By touting the proposals under the bright lights of a White House press conference, Obama showed that he was more interested in advancing Democratic goals than reaching a quick resolution with Republicans, analysts said.
"Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want to cut the deal early. Everyone has to have this Tony Award-winning performance that shows they have done everything they can to fight for their policies, fight for their principles before they can compromise," said Ethan Siegal, an analyst with The Washington Exchange.
In vivid language, Obama contrasted the spending cuts that Republicans have proposed to food inspections and student loans with the tax breaks they want to protect for hedge-fund managers, corporate jet owners and other affluent types.
Obama's performance marked "the strongest argument that Democrats have made in a while in the whole budget area," ISI Group analyst Andy Laperriere said.
Obama said the job-creation efforts don't necessarily have to be included in the deficit deal, but it's hard to see how they could pass as a stand-alone bill.
Republicans say measures that would worsen deficits have no place in talks designed to reduce them. "This isn't a negotiation — it's parody," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said before Obama's news conference.
Republicans routinely refer to Obama's 2009 stimulus effort as a "failure," and they are eager to advance a jobs agenda of their own centered on deregulation, tax cuts and a repeal of Obama's 2010 healthcare overhaul.
"Stimulus is still a four-letter word for Republicans," MF Global analyst Chris Krueger said.
Even if they are doomed to failure, the job-creation proposals could serve as a negotiating chip to help Democrats win some of the $400 billion in revenue increases they want.
And any tax breaks that survive could come back to haunt Republicans in campaign commercials next fall.
"I think it would be hard for Republicans to stand there and say that the tax break for corporate jets is sufficiently important that ... that's the reason we're not going to come to a deal," Obama said.

This past week I was listening to a Podcast by John Welbourn from Power Athlete and he made a great reference to NFL and College Football that struct a cord with me and is very timely. He said, and I'm Paraphrasing, "...they would send the biggest guy off the bus first to strike fear into the hearts of the team, but the real killer was the guy who didn't look that intimidating except when he turned to the side and his entire back side looked like the bus he just came off".
What he was referring to is athletic training. More specifically the concept of training for show VS. training for performance. This pertains to us in the CrossFit world because though we may not be of Bodybuilder size, we can usually outlift bodybuilders 2X our size.
The Concept in training is myofibril hypertrophy and Neuro-muscular Adaptaion VS. Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy.. And though those terms may fly right over your head, what we have been working towards the past 6 weeks in our Front Squat is a real world example of these two modalities.
Lets take a closer look, and you will hopefully understand more as to why I program and when I program the way I do.
We squat very consistently not just because we want to better our lifts but because, like the deadlift, we access more muscle and joints at one time than any other exercise out there; essentially when you lift heavy, your entire body is getting worked. I know you feel it!
Training for show is why bodybuilding programs are so damn popular among the DIY lifter. And they work! When the stimulus on the body or 'time under tension' is elongated, 2 things happen.
1) You are not able to lift at near maximal loads, which means you are limiting your training to the 50-70% zone.
2) You are increasing the cross sectional size of the muscle as the body searches for ATP and Glycogen to fuel the many reps, we know this as "THE PUMP".
Looking good after a session and having a respectable amount of weight on the bar makes everyone happy. But the reps were comfortable, manageable, they didn't scare you....
So lets take a walk back about 6 weeks ago when the volume of our Front Squats was 6X6 @65-72% (5/24/17). The amount of volume on that day had your muscles demanding as much energy as possible. I remember hearing how that 4th and 5th set were killers. My goal was to establish a baseline for the weeks to come and to begin developing size in the muscle because big changes were coming.
In CrossFit its not just about your WOD weight, its about your strength numbers as well. In fact, a few years ago, I saw many great CrossFit athletes abandon the WOD and just live on the platform, getting enjoyment out of the Snatch and Clean and Jerk. Its performance, its hard work, and it looks pretty cool.
When absolute strength and performance are the desire then we need to not worry so much about the PUMP and more about pushing limits. So Lets talk:
Myofibril- Hypertrophy- the ability to access the maximum amount contractile proteins within the muscle
CNS Development- the ability of your Nervous system to fire the maximum amount of muscle fibers during a training session.
The purpose of lifting heavy is to increase force production; therefore When an athlete consistently lifts heavy, their nervous system and muscles begin to work in a complementary fashion. This creates a little bit of size, but a whole lot of useful ability.
Looking back only a couple weeks I programmed Front Squats @ 4X4 85% (6/14/17). The reps were scary, we were spotting each other, and a few sets had failed reps. Our time under tension is considerably less and yet our body had to work harder to get the reps done. And just this past week we dropped the reps to 5X2 @ 90% (6/27/17) to really see where that threshold is at. We have now built the muscle, trained the muscle, stressed the muscle and created more potential for use.
From a programming perspective, we are working towards the goal of Power output. Its summer time which means Power Programming. In 2 weeks we will be testing our Squat Clean, and I am sure you will be happy with what you see.
Are you still not sold? Well how about this...
Lifting heavy at near maximal loads also increases your metabolism (burning fat) and helps develop a deeper understanding of mental Grit. CrossFit athletes have become famous for their ability to thrive in the realm of discomfort. When life gets tough, Crossfitters are able to keep their heads about them and push through.
Good luck this week with the programming, its July 4th and also a de-load week. Keep pushing your training and positively moving towards the best possible version of yourself. Success is earned my friends and you are all putting in the work. I love you all.

On Feb 24th, the latest iteration of the Spectrum Scale – Meet the Devs took place in Oxford. We met on the Oxford University campus and as always, the meeting was well attended. I had the pleasure of meeting some new members in addition to catching up with a few familiar faces. Simon Thompson, the User Group Chair, introduced three IBMers from the Mainz Germany Lab, Ulf Troppens, Simon Lorenz and Stefan Schmidt. After the introductions by Simon and our hosts from Oxford, we started the meeting.
Ulf Troppens started the meeting off by introducing his German colleagues, and he presented a high-level overview of Spectrum Scale's history through 4.2.

Donate and Volunteer at Panama's Three Top Childrens's Charities
27% of Panama's Population lives in Extreme Poverty - You Can Make a Difference by Supporting Panama's Three Top Children's Charities You can help the children and families of Panama's neediest citizens by donating to or volunteering at three of the best run charities anywhere. Panama City's modern skyline belies the fact that 27% of Panama's children live in extreme poverty, a majority of them members of Indian tribes living in jungles and mountains. This poverty has nothing to do with what we call "poverty" in the States or Europe. Poverty in Panama means thousands of babies sick and dying from severe malnutrition many in the hills out-of-sight.

Interview for the Podcast 'When Life Gives You Lemons, GO VEGAN'
I was recently interviewed by the wonderful Corinne Nijjer for her wonderful Podcast, When Life Gives you Lemons, GO VEGAN. The link to her podcast series, which contains a wonderful series of interviews from inspirational people, is available here.
My interview focused on some of the features of why the Standard American/Australia Diet (SAD) really is a sad one at that. I discussed some of my success stories and more importantly, the power of plant based nutrition and it's capacity to heal many of our chronic diseases (e.g. Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, High blood pressure).
Corinne's story is a remarkable one of weight loss and overcoming Multiple Sclerosis.

Travel Essentials Guide
Traveling can be fun if you keep things simple. Here are our top tips for your vacations to rock your moody world. (kids optional)
TSA Toiletries
Here are the basic rules from TSA when traveling via air with liquids: If it's less than 3.4 oz and fits in a quart bag you can bring it on. We take this guideline into account when we create our travel sizes or have products that we only carry 1 size.
All Moody Makeup (besides makeup remover) is accepted as a carry on if in the proper quart ziplock bag. While most is not liquid, we've had lip balms and creams thrown out because it wasn't in the proper ziplock bag-- so don't chance it, just put it in the bag.
For Facial Care / Deodorant we recommend grabbing travel size moody items to cleanse, scrub, tone and hydrate with - your deodorant is a-okay. While your cream deodorant isn't a liquid, some TSA agents consider "cream" a liquid, therefore make sure to stick it in your ziplock bag.
For Body / Hair Care make sure to grab travel sizes of your shampoo and conditioner. I recommend using the shampoo for hair, body wash, shaving and hand wash! We also highly recommend grabbing Dry Shampoo for traveling whether you are flying, driving or camping. This is one of the most magical all purpose powders.
Comfy Clothes
Comfort is an absolute essential for happy traveling. There is nothing better than a pair comfy pants, shirt and shoes. Doesn't comfort feel amazing?!
My all time fave outfit while recently traveling was a loose fitting top, LulaRoe leggings and my chaco shoes. Jess and I walked miles in these outfits while vacationing with the fam and were never comfier! I'll admit I've been avoid LulaRoe like the plague because I just don't do trendy... but one of our good customers rocks her LulaRoe biz and we just had to try the clothing out.
Libby B. has all the things we look for when it comes to business. Personal, fun and fast service. She does personalized outfit creations, is super fast with shipping and has so many fun and interactive shopping posts.
If you were avoiding LulaRoe for no good reason, well stop and go check Libby's LulaRoe facebook group out where you can shop. We recommend Libby because she is awesome, just like us, and the clothes are actually freakin' comfortable.
Simple Snacks
I think my all time favorite travel snack has to be trail mix. It's easy, it's simple, it's healthy (if you don't just eat all the chocolate) and it's filling. It can be taken all the places of all temperatures.
A few years back I found Nuts.com, when we started hiking, camping and car traveling more, and needed to find a place that was affordable and had lots of variety. I'm not a huge DIYer and so finding pre-made mixes or at least the bulk ingredients that I can mix in a bowl make my life so much happier.
Now I make a big order every few months at Nuts.com and get ALL THE SNACKS. My all time faves are the trail mix, dried fruit and fig bars.
We hope this travel tips can help you have a simple and fun trip, wherever you may be headed!

"Science fiction is a genre of popular culture, commonly considered to have emerged as a literature in the West in the nineteenth century, which addresses what it means to live in technologically saturated societies. Since its consolidation in mass cultural pulp magazines and novels in the 1920's, the genre has burst the bounds of the printed word and developed distinct forms in comic strips, radio, cinema, television, and computer games."

Over the years, our bodies accumulate waste products that normally are excreted through the kidneys, the G-I tract, or the skin. These waste products are comprised primarily of environmental contaminants and metabolic waste by-products.
As these organ systems fail to rid the body of all these unwanted chemicals, these waste products get stored in areas of the body called the interstitial space. (between the cells)
