Cross Country is Running Summer Sports
September 3, 2018
The school year is off to a racing start and so is the cross country team. While there has been a pretty large presence at volleyball and football games by students, staff, and parents alike, there is one sport that doesn't necessarily have a huge audience. However, athletes could argue that it may be the toughest to endure: cross country.
The sport itself can be proven challenging, considering that it requires both physical and mental toughness. On top of the running, August is a month of high temperatures that can make running miles a day a bit more difficult.
With fires raging in California and smoke in the air, running after school everyday isn't the easiest task to complete. Training in these conditions all comes down to the proper mindset.
"The heat is all mental and minimal physical. To take on [the] heat it is all about your mindset," sophomore Bennie Dimas said, "if you always say to yourself 'I can't run in the heat, it's too hot', you'll never be able to run through it. But if you find a way to block out the negative effects of the heat, it'll seem like a normal run and it won't affect you."
Running with your peers helps a lot because they always motivate you and you motivate them. You learn to cooperate with one another and I've made really great friends running."
— Craig Valdez
Staying positive is crucial for the cross country runners, especially with meets coming up very soon.
"You just have to get used to the heat and remember it's not about winning or losing. It's about improving yourself," senior Connie Park said.
Along with having a good mentality and attitudes, it's very important that the runners prepare themselves throughout the day.
"I drink at least three bottles of water so as to not feel so bad in the heat," junior Zaahir Zaro said.
Staying hydrated is one of the most important parts of being an athlete, and it's also vital that they maintain healthy lifestyles as well.
"You need to eat, too. No Pizza Plus or whatever because I always want to eat whatever," sophomore Gabriel Herrera said, "but I really have to remember I'm gonna run eight miles soon."
Not only does running and pushing through the challenges build the athletes' strength, but it makes them grow closer as a family.
"Running with your peers helps a lot because they always motivate you and you motivate them," senior Craig Valdez said, "You learn to cooperate with one another and I've made really great friends running."

Regardless of political stripe, all Americans should be rejoicing this morning in the light of a prophecy fulfilled. The modern prophet, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., famously dreamed of the day when we would judge each other not by the color of our skins, but by the content of our character. As Jews, we constantly remind ourselves that we were slaves in the land of Egypt - not to perpetuate slavery, but rather to erase oppression. Yesterday, we as a nation took a strong and steady step toward that redemptive future. There are many more steps to travel but, in a sense, we all stand at Mount Sinai, in a moment of national covenant. Let us hope that, together, we can find a way out of the wilderness.
Then shall the just see and exult, the righteous be glad, and the pious sing for joy.

National Instruments (NI), has announced the release of LabVIEW 2018 MathScript RT Module, is a text-based environment you can use to write functions and scripts. You can process scripts using LabVIEW MathScript in the LabVIEW MathScript Window or a MathScript Node.
About LabVIEW MathScript RT Module. The LabVIEW MathScript Module adds textual math to the LabVIEW development environment with a native compiler for the .m files you have developed in MATLAB or GNU Octave software. You can blend textual and graphical approaches for algorithm development, signal processing, control design, and data analysis tasks. Easily deploy your .m code to real-time hardware without extra code-generation steps.
Top 3 Reasons to Use the LabVIEW MathScript Module:
- Save Time by Reusing Your Existing .m IP
Save valuable development time with LabVIEW MathScript, which is generally compatible with the widely used .m file syntax. With this module, you can reuse your existing .m files inline with G code for acquisition, analysis, or data presentation.
- Simplify Development by Adding a Built-In GUI to Your Custom .m Files
The built-in LabVIEW GUI provides libraries of engineering and scientific controls, such as knobs, thermometers, dials, and switches. Take advantage of this LabVIEW feature to add user interaction and decision making to your .m files.
- Deploy Your Code to Real-Time Hardware Without Costly Code Translations
With a framework to both develop and test your .m files for jitter and a full set of guidelines for developing real-time applications, you have all of the tools you need to deploy your custom .m files for deterministic execution with LabVIEW and MathScript.
About NI LabView. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create applications. In contrast to text-based programming languages that use instructions to determine the order of program execution, LabVIEW uses dataflow programming. In data flow programming, the flow of data through the nodes on the block diagram determines the execution order of the VIs and functions. VIs, or virtual instruments, are LabVIEW programs that imitate physical instruments.
In LabVIEW, you build a user interface by using a set of tools and objects. The user interface is known as the front panel. After you build the front panel, you add code using graphical representations of functions to control the front panel objects. You add this graphical code, also known as G code or block diagram code, to the block diagram. The block diagram somewhat resembles a flowchart. The block diagram, front panel, and graphical representations of code compose a VI.
About National Instruments. Since 1976, National Instruments has equipped engineers and scientists with tools that accelerate productivity, innovation and discovery. NI's graphical system design approach to engineering provides an integrated software and hardware platform that speeds the development of any system needing measurement and control. The company's long-term vision and focus on improving society through its technology supports the success of its customers, employees, suppliers and shareholders.

Academic journal article Chicago Review
A Vaguely Personal and Economic Consideration
Article excerpt
Basically there are two factors in approaching our equation: banks and desire. A practical country, seemingly the reverse when it comes to the rigor others mostly reserve for the platter. Anything less pathetic makes public a groan raised in sleep to look fetching on the page. Once there was an Irish tenor who pledged never to return after his first sally into the bank and he with only traveler's checks in his pocket. Imagine if it had been something more personal. Baseball, for instance, is an investment in the past concerned more with opening space than penetration. Taking part in success becomes a process not unlike puberty, however delayed by uncommon factors such as poverty or just a simple lack of opportunity. That is why here it is usually left to human nature or the passing of time to sort out good and evil. In other words, you buy vapor with vapor, crime with crime and the rest, given a modicum of design, is just stargazing. …

There was fanfare at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre as President Uhuru Kenyatta opened the Pre-Global Entrepreneurship summit. Kenyans were treated to music and dance and other forms of entertainment. The excitement amongst those in attendance was quite evident on their faces. This is a prime for investors and innovators to showcase their best work, and put Kenya on the Global investment scene.
President Kenyatta said the 6th Global Entrepreneurship Summit will give Kenyans a chance to interact with the worlds' biggest business leaders.
"As the world comes to our doorstep, to see the Kenya that is increasingly profiled as a leading hub of innovation and openness to business, it is only right to showcase the very best of our nation's ideas," he said.
He spoke during the opening of the Pre-Global Enterprise Summit Expo at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre on Wednesday.
Uhuru expressed his joy that a fifth of participants in the summit, taking place from Friday to Sunday, are Kenyan entrepreneurs.
He assured the entrepreneurs that the government will ensure working conditions favor their success.
Kenya is rapidly investing in higher quality, widely accessible education, cutting down red tape, rooting out rent seeking and delivering cheaper, more accessible power, he said.He added that road and railway networks are being transformed to reduce transport costs and security strengthened.
The President said Kenya tops in innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa because it has invested in businesses run by youth and women.
Citing state support for Nailab, an ICT Incubation Hub, he said the spirit of partnership between individuals and with the government has been successful.
"Some of the best of Kenya's innovative products and services are on display here. I encourage all those who want to invest or start up their own companies to take the opportunity to visit," he added.
US Ambassador Robert Godec said the summit will provide an opportunity for Kenya to showcase its vibrant economy and the enormous investment potential.
"The eyes of the world will be on Kenya because of this entrepreneurship summit," the Diplomat said.
He expressed optimism that participating entrepreneurs will be mentored and will form connections that will power innovation.
Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero said high speed internet, the 4G mobile phone technology, the rise of technological hubs and the global business community's interest in Kenya put Nairobi at the forefront of the African renaissance. Kenyans will be hoping that this is just a start of the good things ahead.
Keep it Varcity to know all that will go down at the GES.

Old Field Farm Maple Syrup
When it comes to maple syrup, rural is good. This medium amber syrup is harvested from trees of the Durham Valley in New York State, a place with a population that probably hasn't risen since it was founded in the mid 1700s. No people = no pollution. So the sap is still pure and the resulting syrup still delicious. Ice cream? Sure. Waffles? Why not. Yogurt? You bet. Anyplace a sweet taste is in order, Old Field Farm Maple Syrup fills the ticket.

This topic was designed to help you understand the coming out process. Families of gay children go through the same process of "coming out" as the parent of a gay child as their child did.
When a person comes out they first recognize that they are different from the majority. This brings out identify confusion which plays out in questioning, self-examination, and often denial. This is followed by a period of identity assumption and self-acceptance.
In this course, you will identify six stages in the coming out process.
1. Awareness
2. Acknowledgement
3. Tolerance
4. Acceptance
5. Pride
6. Synthesis.
As you understand what people go through or will go through as they come to terms with their sexuality, you are on a parallel path.
The lessons in this course include:
- Coming out to yourself
- Living your identity
- Coming out to adult family
- Always coming out
- Coming out to spouse

This checklist will give you all information about the basics you and your baby really need. Also a very few little helper for you are added. It's a big great journey to become parents (again) and we love to share all our knowledge with you to make it even more enjoyable.
6 wrap bodysuits is a must have basic. The wrap or kimono style is easy to put on, no pull over the little soft head. They're great on their own or as a basic layer if it's cold.
Add 3 pants (without feet) and you already dressed your little newborn. No feet means more flexibility.
3 long sleeve tops or cardigans to keep your little one warm. A cardigan again avoid to pull something over baby's head. Otherwise you can go for a kimono or wrap style again.
2 rompers (without feet) are a lovely alternative to pants with a top. It's an easy way to dress your little one and they are so cute.
2 pair of booties or socks for colder days/morning/nights or if you are out and about. In a warm environment barefoot us a great option too.
1 walk overall - woolen - because they help to regulate baby's temperature best and they fit perfectly when you carry your baby in the wrap.
1 hat or beanie to keep the head warm and/or sun protected.
5 triangle (bandana) bibs to keep the clothes dry and clean during a long milky day ;)
1 sleeping bag or two if you do not use a dryer. Sleeping bag keeping you baby warm and cosy during the night. They are also highly recommended in terms of sleep safety. Learn more about The requirements of a safe sleeping bag.
Learn more about fabrics like organic cotton and wool and why you should choose specific fabrics for your baby's cloths.
A nappy change mat to go which is easily used everywhere, especially during the night in the bed. That means you don't have to get up, no noises that wake up others, no unnecessary awaken of you and your newborn. It's simple, easy, fast and safe. In a couple of weeks your baby starts to get active and falling off a nappy change table is much more common than suggested.
1 little basket for nappies, cloths and oil
A bed extension for example a bassinet, which probably is the most common option. But it is also a great opportunity for a do it yourself project like this family bed.
1 fittet sheet or 2 if you do not use a dryer.
A infant capsule to keep you out and above.
A baby wrap to carry your baby, keep it calm and your hands free. Read more about why we love baby wraps.
1 little nail scissor with round edges
1 bottle of Oil (calendula or almond)
1 muslin wrap to support baby's neck in the wrap
1 bath thermometer
1 classic fever thermometer
1 infrared thermometer
3 burb cloths
1 Merino wool blanket
1 hooded bath towel
1 car mirror
Child first aid course
Because we all decided for breastfeeding, it means we don't have any experience with bottle feeding. And because we want to be real help, we don't talk about thinks we don't know.
..why long sleeve only?
You are getting a summer baby and are wondering why we recommend just long sleeve tops? Newborn and all babies in the first year have nothing what protects them against the sun. That's why we recommend long sleeve all year long. Of course a thinner or climate regulativ fabric is important too, because a baby can heat but hardly cool down. So we recommend to choose wisely and buy less but good!
..why no feet?
Actually we have two reasons for this recommendation! First, some babies have simply bigger feet and they can't wear it as long as they could (or even not at all). And the other reason is that if your baby doesn't perfectly fit in pants or rompers yet, you can adjust the length if they're no booties included. Are you scared about falling socks or booties? Make sure they are tighten on the ankle or have a little elastic waist. If they still fall, mostly it means a bigger size is necessary
..why so many bibs?
Either you have a baby with reflux or you are having a teething baby soon. Either way, bibs are THE possibility to do not change the clothes frequently because they're wet. If necessary, just change the bib!
.. a nappy changing table or even a hole 'children's room', (sway) hammock, bouncinette, dummy, baby phone, buggy, nappy bag, breathing sensor/ soft toy/ mat, mobile or toys, bath tub, cuddle bunnies, nappy bin..? You don't need them! Find out why..
I'm mostly adding this paragraph to avoid you to think we've forgotten something. Honestly, you need so much less than you think or others will tell you (especially the industry). You may would like to add a few thinks because it feels romantic, which is obviously fine. Enjoy your baby your way your style. If you're not sure about something, maybe just wait until you get to know your little wee one at least a bit.
Enjoy the shopping!

We recently caught up with fellow contributor and seasoned Latina boomer mom, Maritere Rodriguez Bellas on her new book: Arroz con Pollo and Apple Pie: Raising Bicultural Children. You can read part one of the interview here. In part two, we talk about the nitty gritty of how language plays a part in the bicultural experience, and why it's important for kids to be able to understand and say the words arroz con pollo and apple pie.
HipLatina: Your first book was called Raising Bilingual Children. Do you think you can separate the experiences of being bilingual and bicultural?
Maritere Rodriguez Bellas: I actually wrote the manuscript on raising bicultural children about 10 or 12 years ago—after my column had been running for several years in La Opinión. Four years ago, I was at a writer's conference in New York and I presented my manuscript to a few agents. I found an agent, and a few months later I got an email from her saying that there was a top publisher interested in my work. They said that because of all the research that had been done recently on language and the effects on the brain, they wanted to publish a book on the benefits of raising bilingual children—and they wanted me to write it!
HL: Wow, so that started a whole new project for you!
MB: Well, I tried to talk to them about just expanding the chapter I had written on language in my original manuscript, since language and culture go hand in hand. But they really wanted to focus on the language aspect with a separate book. I have to say that after writing it, I realized that it had been such a great idea. I was able to talk to families specifically about language. I spoke with families from many different countries. I made it more universal. It became a resource with a lot of information on how to raise children to be bilingual, or even multilingual.
HL: Talking about your story, you mention that your kids speak Spanish at home though not as often as you like. What would you have changed about this?
MB: In my case, which I talk about in both books, when you have a family where the mom or dad doesn't speak your native language, you tend to resort to English and that's what happened to me. I wanted my husband to participate in whatever conversation I was having and he didn't speak Spanish. I now realize after doing all of the research on language that I was doing it all wrong. I should have never spoken to my kids in anything except Spanish until they were at least about 8 years old. By then it's pretty ingrained and they can become very fluent.
HL: Does one of your kids have a better handle on Spanish than the other? Why do you think that is?
MB: I think they are just different. My son got more of the conversational aspect growing up and can carry out a conversation pretty well. My daughter got more of the grammar and writing at school. During her study abroad she spent almost five months in Spain and is now more fluent. Since they were used to me speaking to them in Spanish when they were little, their first words were in Spanish and I have fond memories of them turning to me and speaking in Spanish and turning to their dad and speaking to him in English. I was in awe of how easy they would go back and forth without flinching! That is my hope for every parent out there, that they understand the value and the gift of raising kids with two or more languages.
HL: In some of your stories, you mention that children may be resistant to speaking Spanish once they start going to school and become friends with English speaking children. As more Spanish is being spoken in the United States, do you think it's getting easier for parents to raise their children to speak both languages?
MB: Definitely. There are a lot more American born teachers that study Spanish and they're willing to help Spanish speaking parents. All of the research that has been done over the last 10 to 15 years has really helped parents understand the value of being fluent in more than one language. In my generation, parents wanted their kids to assimilate as quickly as possible so they only wanted their children to learn English and very often Spanish was not even spoken at home. When I did the research on raising bilingual children, I spoke with several principals at dual language immersion schools. I found out that in many of these schools today, there is a long waiting list of American children whose parents recognized the importance of learning Spanish. Ironically, the biggest obstacle for the school officials is convincing Spanish speaking parents that this form of education works since those parents wanted to put their children on the English only track instead of incorporating Spanish as well.
HL: One story you share at the end of the book on bicultural children is about a Chinese immigrant, Pocket Sun. In your book on raising bilingual children, you mentioned that the message was more universal for other countries and cultures. Do you think your advice on raising bicultural and bilingual children applies to non-Latino cultures as well?
MB: That's a funny story. I think that she found me on Twitter and then she started following me. I looked her up and her story fascinated me. I told her about my book and asked if she wanted to be a part of it. I think that my message really applies to any culture so that's why I included her at the end. I remember sending her the same set of questions that I sent to the Latino community. I interviewed her and her responses really fit in with what the Latino immigrants were sharing. It's a universal thing. It doesn't matter where we're from. We all need to adjust to a new life and find a balance. Some of us adjust faster than others and some of us never adjust, which is okay. As long as you can live with that.
HL: I'm excited to hear about what's next for you! What do you have planned?
MB: I'm excited about Arroz con Pollo and Apple Pie:Raising Bicultural Children being published in Spanish by this fall. And I am working on a series of three bilingual children's books. That should keep me busy for a while!

RIDGELAND — Environment Masters, a residential and commercial heating and air-conditioning company serving metro Jackson since 1957, has purchased the assets of Hodges Engineering Corporation of Ridgeland, according to Raymond J. Nalty, III, Environment Masters president.
Customers who held service agreements with Hodges recently were notified of the change in a letter signed by Nalty and Dan A. Hodges, III, Hodges Engineering president. The letter included Nalty's guarantee that Environment Masters will honor all Hodges maintenance agreements in force as of Sept. 10.
Hodges write, "When I decided to stop being active in the heating and cooling business, I searched for a company who could provide you the same professional, high quality service as Hodges Engineering has over the past 50 years.

Authorities have wrapped up an investigation into an incident at the Cincinnati Zoo that ended with the killing of beloved gorilla after a child slipped into its enclosure, a prosecutor said Thursday.
The Cincinnati Police Department has turned over the probe to Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters for his review, according to the prosecutor's office.
The department was considering possible criminal charges in its investigation that looked into how a 3-year-old boy managed to crawl through a barrier and fall into the gorilla's exhibit, Cincinnati Police spokeswoman Tiffaney Hardy told TIME. Hardy said the family members of the boy who were with him at the time of the incident were the focus of the probe.
The police department did not disclose how many family members were supervising him at the time of the zoo visit. The boy's mother, Michelle Gregg, can be heard panicking in a 911 call authorities released Wednesday. She told a police dispatcher a male gorilla was "standing over" her son and that the animal took hold of the child.
"My son fell in the zoo exhibit at the gorilla—at the Cincinnati zoo. My son fell in with the gorilla. There is a male gorilla standing over him," she can be heard saying. "He's dragging my son. I can't watch this. I can't watch."
It's unclear whether the police department recommended that charges be filed against her. A spokeswoman for the boy's family said she did not have a comment about the end of the police probe Thursday.
Deters said he would conclude his review by Friday.

Every month for the rest of 2014, ChrissiReads, Bibliobeth & Luna's Little Librarywill be reading one Banned / Challenged Book a month. We'll be looking at why the book was challenged, how/if things have changed since the book was originally published and what we actually think of the book.
This month's choice is Go Ask Alice by 'Anonymous'
Most recently in the Top Ten of Frequently Challenged Books in 2003 & 2001 (source)
Chosen by: ChrissiReads
Reasons: drugs (2003) & offensive language, sexually explicit (2001)
Do you understand or agree with any of the reasons for the book being challenged when it was originally published?
BETH: When I first began this read, I was quite surprised to learn that it was first published in 1971 as I found it read more contemporary than that – in other words, published about ten years ago or so. For the seventies, I think it was probably highly controversial when it came out even with the amount of "free love," that was floating around at the time. I didn't really find the language particularly offensive or find that it was sexually explicit but I am probably judging it by modern standards!
CHRISSI: I think it was probably very controversial at the time, so of course, it didn't fit in. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that this book stood out, but I can understand why it was banned. The subject matter obviously struck a chord with many people.
LUNA: I honestly don't know, 1971 is too long ago. My opinion of the 70s is mostly from That 70s Show that isn't going to be an accurate reflection of the time is it? The book was published; it's supposed to be warning regarding the dangers of drugs so it would have to be make an impact to work.
How about now?
BETH: This book deals with some very serious issues, namely teenage drug abuse. For this reason, I do understand why it is banned/challenged, especially in schools. I know that the book is meant to be quite gritty and portray a teenager coming out the other side of addiction but for me personally, I don't think that message got across very well. At times I even felt like it glorified drug use in a way, or made it seem quite a lot of fun. Obviously that is not really a good message to send out to impressionable young people.
CHRISSI: I don't really like that this book is marketed as non fiction. I actually thought it was a true story until I looked it further. It's very frustrating that it's marketed as non fiction when it's not. Hmmmm. Non fiction or fiction aside, I don't think it's appropriate for use in schools. It raises very dark issues (as well as the drug use) which I don't think are appropriate for some impressionable teenagers. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that every teenager is impressionable (they're certainly not!), but some may take the messages this book sends in the wrong way.
LUNA: It'll come as a surprise but I have a problem with this book. It's nothing to do with the content (the banned reasons: drugs, offensive language and sexually explicit) and everything to do with the marketing. Go Ask Alice is a work of fiction. Yet it was originally promoted as nonfiction, it's still sold as "by Anonymous" and the copy I have has "This is Alice's True Story" on the cover plus the blurb on the back, the foreword and the Psychologist's Comment at the back – everything is still packaged to make out this is nonfiction.It got my back up. It is fiction and it should be presented as such.
What did you think of the book?
BETH: I have to admit, I was really, really disappointed. It's only a short read (162 pages in my copy) and is made up of journal entries but for me it felt like a slog to get through the whole time. The main character annoyed me to the point where I wanted to throw the book across the other side of the room! And worse of all, I just didn't believe it. Then we come to the ending… and for a second I almost upgraded my thoughts to a "three star" review until I read a bit more about the book in general. And I'm absolutely disgusted. As the girls have said, this is marketed as a work of non-fiction and if you buy into that the ending may change the way you feel about the entire book. As I later found out, it is a work of FICTION and I don't know what else to say except that I feel really cheated and quite cross.
CHRISSI: It wasn't what I thought it was going to be if I'm honest. I wanted to feel connected to the main character and feel sorry for her. But I didn't. I just found her annoying- which isn't what I wanted to feel from a teenage drug addict.
LUNA: The narrator is not likeable; I didn't have any connection with her and found her rather whiny. Given that the point of this book if to warn of 'what can happen' I would have expected more empathy with the character. (Btw it's never established what her name is.) I know the book is over 40 years old but Go Ask Alice really feels it. A lot of the time I don't notice age with books when I'm lost in a story but I don't think the text has dated well. Maybe it's partly to blame for the disconnect I felt to the character/story. I'll admit that my opinion of Go Ask Alice was negatively influenced by the marketing before I started the book but I was hoping the content would win me round – it never really did.
Would you recommend it?
BETH: I think it's important that teenagers get to read the real stories behind drug addiction (get it? REAL!) but I wouldn't recommend this one. I'll get off my soapbox now.
CHRISSI: Possibly, but I think there are more powerful books around the same subject out there.
LUNA: If it wasn't still labelled as a "true story" maybe but I think there are better books out there.

Assassin's Creed Origins Combat Breakdown
Assassin's Creed Origins has taken big steps forward for combat complexity and been heavily inspired by Dark Souls. You cannot simply drop a smoke bomb and assassinate every enemy within range till the end of the game anymore.
Combat basics include: fast and heavy attacks, charging heavy attacks, attack and push light attack, dodging, parrying and riposting, shield breaking, crit hits and shield charging. Jump assassinating enemies does not guarantee an instant kill if the enemy is a higher level, or your hidden blades are not upgraded enough.Share your knowledge!

Forget the $200 Blaze "smart fitness watch". The time has finally come for one of the world's top wearables vendors (the number one until not long ago) to try its hand at a full-blown smartwatch.
It's reportedly been an uphill struggle for Fitbit to get the Ionic and proprietary Ionic OS ready for primetime, but the American activity tracking specialist can be happy it's beaten the Apple Watch Series 3 to market.
Well, sort of, as the financially-hurting company currently only accepts pre-orders on its official US website, expanding them to "select online retailers" tomorrow, and promising in-store availability worldwide "beginning October 2017."
At $299.95, the Fitbit Ionic is cheaper than an entry-level Apple Watch Series 2, boasting many similar selling points and the typical focus on personal coaching and general wellness. But there's no standalone cellular version, and that's likely to prove an important disadvantage compared to the upcoming third-gen "iWatch."
The design may also divide consumers and potential buyers, eschewing the traditional wristwatch sense of style, though you can choose from 15 clock face options "ranging from sleek and understated to fun and fitness-focused", not to mention a bunch of "high-quality accessories. Namely, buckles, "Sport Bands" and leather straps in various colors.
Billed as a multitasking "all-in-one watch", the Ionic has predictably not been able to build much of an app store from scratch. Still, its "leading partner apps" at launch include Pandora, Strava, Weather from AccuWeather, and Starbucks, with any developer welcomed to use the Fitbit App Gallery-designed Software Development Kit starting next month.
Fitbit Pay integration is probably the most surprising feature available right off the bat, allowing you to make purchases "wherever contactless payments are accepted"… as long as you use a MasterCard or Visa credit or debit card from "top issuing banks in over 10 markets." That includes ANZ, Banco Santander, Bank of America, HSBC and Royal Bank of Canada, with "more countries and banks planned soon."
What else? Oh, yeah, of course you get built-in GPS, "multi-day" battery life, water resistance up to 50 meters, continuous heart rate monitoring, in-depth sleep insight and 2.5GB user-available storage for more than 300 songs. Not too shabby, but only time can tell if this Apple Watch "killer" has enough weapons in its artillery.

Polytrichum commune (Syn: Polytrichum uliginosum) (NL: Gewoon haarmos / EN: Common Haircap / DE: Goldenes Frauenhaarmoos / FR: Polytrichum commune) can be found in a wide range of damp, acidic habitats, tolerating shade and moderate amounts of pollution and nutrient enrichment. The species is well-grown, large and hummocks or turfs of this species are unmistakable. They consist of tough, wiry shoots up to 40 cm long (usually about 20 cm). When moist, the 8–12 mm long, narrowly spearhead-shaped leaves spread or strongly curve away from the stem, with a glossy sheathing base, giving a starry appearance viewed from above. When dry, the margins become inrolled, wavy and gently twist around the stems. The margins are sharply toothed and the broad nerve is covered with up to 70 ridges of tissue. The leaves surrounding the base of the seta are longly tapering and toothed above. The 4-angled, box-like capsule, produced in summer, is borne on a long (to 12 cm), reddish seta. It is erect when young, becoming inclined to horizontal with age; its lid is shortly beaked. The young capsule is covered by a long, golden brown, hairy calyptra.
In this image the capusles are still young and the moss is rather dry.

Myths & Misconceptions
Upon birth, we are designated a horoscope dependent on which month we were born in. This horoscope can determine a multitude of things about your life. Horoscopes predict your health, income, and even your love life.
Although it may seem utterly ridiculous that something as irrelevant as date of birth can determine so many things about you, many people believe it. Every day, people look in the zodiac section of the newspaper to see how their day is going to unfold, believing everything it says.
Nikhil Sethisuwan stated "My zodiac sign is Capricorn, I never pay much attention to the meaning of zodiac signs although I see a lot of things on the media about horoscopes. To me personally [it is] just another way to show [I am] born in December, It [does not] have any spiritual level meaning to me."
The reason why so many people believe something so illogical is because of Confirmation Bias. Confirmation Bias is the tendency to overvalue evidence that supports one's beliefs and to undervalue anything that goes against said beliefs.
What happens in most cases is that the predictions the horoscopes make are highly vague and can be applied to most situations. For example, the horoscope may predict that you will have a normal day today, and you will be healthy.
As most people have normal days and do not get injured, this prediction holds true for most people. Upon this prediction coming true, the person's trust in these predictions increases exponentially. Further predictions that come true only increase the person's conviction in these ideas.
Ben Siraphob shared "I think [it is] utter ********. Got fired? Blame your horoscope. Got an A+? The stars were in your favour. I think that horoscopes make society worse because they give people something to cling onto, to praise or to blame. People need to be able to blame or praise themselves, not some stranger's vague predictions."
On the other hand, when the prediction does not hold true, the person will tend to ignore and undervalue it. Through this cycle, the amount of people who believe in horoscopes have increased dramatically.
In conclusion, through Confirmation Bias, a vast amount of people have started to believe in Horoscopes. No matter how absurd the concept of predicting one's future using their date of birth may be, people still believe in horoscopes because of Confirmation Bias.

This soft sweater tunic from rails clothing had me at hello 🙂 I'm a sucker for thick sweaters, maybe because i live in wisconsin and our winters are brutal. Honestly this sweater is not only appealing to the eye but it's wool/cashmere blend makes it incredibly soft to the touch. And look at that cowlneck? I love how it falls beautifully on the neck and i feel it adds style to the sweater. I wore it with my favorite 7 for all mankind jeans , a beautiful white crossbody bag and of course some 5" heels! 🙂

With fall right around the corner, means sweater weather is upon us. I have started doing a little fall shopping and the rails simone sweater couldn't be a more perfect buy. I love the loose knit cables detail on front and sleeves and it's wool/cashmere blend feels so soft on the skin. It's loose fit makes it ideal for layering without sacrificing comfort.
I love skirts, so i paired it with this midi from donna mizani, simple black heels and a cream clutch!
Thanks for reading and have a great day! 🙂

Although i went with red, it also comes in black and beige. Oh and that beautiful gold strap makes the bag simply elegant.
Another piece i like in this look was my reese + riley blush silk top, which i paired with black cutout jeans and black pumps!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was pretty busy! Friday i drove 2 hours to Chicago for a birthday party then back saturday.
Although i had an amazing time celebrating my friends birthday, Chicago is a city i can only take in small doses. Don't get me wrong. It's one of the best cities in the country. If you've never been there, then you definitely have to visit. From the art museum to amazing restaurants and can't leave out the insane night life. There is never a dual moment there. Always something to do. I love this city but visiting this weekend also reminded me why i moved back home to Wisconsin (don't judge me, lol). I couldn't take the traffic! Honestly if it wasn't for that, this city will be perfect! Ok enough of my rant! 🙂
Isn't this Reese + Riley Blazer divine? I've never been one to wear bold colors and definitely not red! I've always stayed with black, white, grey etc, you know safe colors that go with practically anything and easy to style. When i saw this fitted blazer, i just had to get my hands on them and it's quickly become one of my favorite wardrobe pieces. Not only is this perfect for summer / spring, but reese + riley blazers will guarantee a return on your investment. They are high quality and very well tailored. I paired with a light pink blouse from the same designer. To complete my look, i opted for other favorites, level 99 jeans, jj winters chain bag and these old blush heels from steve madden. Let me know what you think of this look. Love reading your comments! 🙂 Have a great day……..

Hellooo! Hope you're having an amazing week. Me? not so much. I've been battling a horrible cold and cough all week and finally getting little better. On a brighter not, spring is here and couldn't be happier 🙂 I'm looking forward to finally being outside, smelling all the beautiful flowers, hiking and best of all gardening! I love to garden, mainly planting flowers. For me waking up very early in the morning working on my garden is so therapeutic, peaceful and it's my me time. So i'm really looking forward to it.
With this outfit i went with my favorite go to look for spring and summer, "The Maxi Dress" :). I love maxi dresses and it's almost all i wear during the warm weather. This dress is by sky clothing. I'm beyond obsessed with this brand and their amazing line of maxi dresses. They're so flattering on any shape and size and just hangs on the body beautifully. If you own one then you know what i mean 🙂
Hope you have an amazing day and see you on my next post! 🙂

The Disney live-action remakes are now coming in thick and fast, with three being released this year alone. Speaking of which, it will soon be time to meet a young street urchin named Aladdin in director Guy Ritchie's reboot of the same name.
Played by Mena Massoud, Aladdin must decide which three wishes will win him the heart of Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) when he comes face to face with a familiar blue genie, this time played by Will Smith via a lot of CGI magic.
Vying for the princess' affections is Marwan Kenzari's Grand Vizier and evil sorcerer, Jafar, who with his villainous schemes and clearly evil facial hair is a new incarnation of one of Disney's greatest villains.
Before we all revel in booing and hissing at the live-action version, here are a few more Disney bad guys we loved to hate.
1. Cruella de Vil
Is there an act any more evil than the murdering of innocent puppies in order to make a decadent garment? No, no there isn't. Such is the plan of one Cruella de Vil, a woman so morbid and skeletal in appearance that she must wear the furs of beautiful animals in order to hide the undead monster that lurks beneath.
A glamour-obsessed heiress whose only true passion derives from the suffering of the animal kingdom in order to adorn herself with their carcasses, Cruella de Vil is every bit as cruel and evil as her name suggests. It's all the more satisfying to watch her downfall stem from her own stubbornness and fury.
2. Hades
The main antagonist of Disney's Hercules, Hades is the younger brother of head-honcho Zeus, and undisputed lord of the Underworld. Voiced by actor James Woods, Hades is a fast-talking, quipping villain, often making jokes for his own twisted amusement, and manipulative more in the manner of a used car salesman than a sinister deity.
Nonetheless, Hades is still quite the evil trickster, ensuring that Hercules suffers on his journey to becoming a hero and saviour of both Earth and Olympus. No amount of jokes will make it any less satisfying to watch him punched into the underworld oblivion by our hero.
3. Ursula
A much less funny, and much more evil, Disney villain is Ursula, the half-human, half-octopus creature that no doubt haunts the nightmares of many a merfolk. Ursula's lair is littered with polyps, the decrepit remains of the souls of mer-people who failed to meet their side of the bargains made with the sinister Sea Witch.
Using her black magic, Ursula takes our princess Ariel's voice in exchange for legs so that she can pursue love on the land. Our naive heroine may not know it, but from the loud cackling and much hand-wringing undertaken by Ursula, we know that she is in hot water indeed. Good thing the devilish witch ends up being impaled, eh? Cue the thunderous applause.
4. Gaston
Who plays darts like Gaston? Who breaks hearts like Gaston? Who's as much fun to utterly loathe as Gaston? As a specimen, yes, he's intimidating... but he's also irritatingly smug and thus a character whom we can't help but feel glee at seeing fail.
The strong-chinned antagonist of the tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast, Gaston is the man who leads the pitchfork-wielding mob to the castle gates of our beastly hero, to kill him and then somehow win the heart of the intellectual beauty, Belle. In 2017, he was brought to gleeful life by Luke Evans in Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast movie.
5. Scar
As a lion whose kingly ambitions have been sidelined in favour of his young nephew, you can't really blame Scar for feeling jealous. Still, murdering your brother Mufasa and tricking said nephew Simba into guilt-driven exile is probably going a bit far.
Voiced by Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons, whose raspy tones give Scar's vocals and growls a deliciously evil quality, the character's sarcastic wit and cynical nature are a delight to behold, as is his insidious scheming, as he stands atop his brother's bones and becomes king of the Pride Lands.
Of course, watching Simba return to put his monstrous uncle in his place is equally delightful and one of the most memorable moments in Disney history. This summer, we'll get to witness the excitement all over again in Disney's reboot of The Lion King, featuring Donald Glover as the voice of the adult Simba and Chiwetel Ejiofor as the voice of Scar.
Aladdin is released on 22nd May so tweet us @Cineworld with your favourite Disney villains.

More parts have arrived (it's like Christmas!)
Namely some 8mm steel rods, skate bearings (608zz) and Igus pillow block bearings. This means I now have parts moving (sliding) on the machine!
You can either use linear bearings (LM8UU) or the Igus block bearings however you must print out the relative parts to fit either bearing.
Why didn't I use linear bearings? Well, the block bearings are quieter, smoother and look more professional. We'll see how it goes when I start using the printer.

On Monday I told you about the exclusive tie-up that Hertz was about to announce with the SkyTeam airline alliance – see here.
There is no news at the moment about whether your SkyTeam elite status can be turned into Hertz Gold Plus Rewards status. It is very unlikely that your Hertz status will get you SkyTeam airline status.
Because Hertz is NOT an Avios partner, you need to find an alternative home for your rentals.
One of the SkyTeam airline programmes may now be the right choice for you. However, our preferred deal is with Virgin Flying Club, where you can earn 1,000 Virgin Atlantic miles on most Hertz rentals. Full details are here.
There is, however, a little known partnership between Hertz and IHG Rewards Club – the Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental etc hotel scheme – which is surprisingly generous. I wanted to run through it again today.
IHG Rewards Club offers Spire Elite members status with Hertz – click to read my article explaining how it works.
ALL IHG Rewards Club members, irrespective of status level, can earn points when they rent from Hertz. Full details are on the IHG website here.
Here are the headline details:
You will earn 1,500 IHG Rewards Club points per rental
125 IHG Rewards Club points per day for non-status members, or
500 IHG Rewards Club points per day for Gold, Platinum or Spire Elite members
This is pretty generous, especially for Gold, Platinum or Spire Elite members who are guaranteed at least 2,000 points per rental.
Perhaps more importantly, it seems that this is one of the few partner earning opportunities which still count towards earning IHG Rewards Club status.
Here are the snags:
You must book via this link on this page of the IHG website
You must include the IHG CDP in your booking – this means that, whilst you benefit from the IHG discount of up to 35%, you are excluded from any more generous deals you may be able to access
The offer used to be restricted to rentals in certain countries but that wording has disappeared over the last 12 months and it now appears to be a global offer.
Let's assume that you value IHG points at 0.4p each, as I do. A 2-day rental for a status member would earn you 2,500 points which is £10 of value. A week-long rental would get you 5,000 points valued at £20.
This compares well with the Virgin Atlantic deal, assuming you value 1,000 miles at £10.
As long as the IHG discount rate throws up a good price, this is one of the better hotel / car hire tie-ups and one you should try to remember.

We're all in the brand business...
Debbie Millman (author, educator, brand strategist) defines branding using the phrase "deliberate differentiation". Branding is a critical component of consumer culture. Our consumption of goods, services, ideologies, and other symbolic products, in many ways, defines us. Each of these "products" has an associated brand and our affinity for that brand helps us to identify with and distinguish ourselves from different groups. It is through our consumption (both real and symbolic), we mark ourselves as members of "tribes"1.
In education, my colleagues and I are part of the #teacherprep community (or tribe), but we also belong to specific and (often) unique tribes as well. My institution identifies as a Research Intensive, Land Grant, Public University with a "think and do" mission. We mark ourselves as members of each of these tribes, but differentiate ourselves through our brand. Our brand is ever present and pushes us toward this "deliberate differentiation" which drives us as we make decisions....
Innovative, of course, is a loaded term, however I believe in the teacher preparation community, we have proven ourselves to be on the cutting edge. Our mission-informed decision making process allows us both the structure and flexibility needed to not only continuously improve, but to forecast trends and changes and respond in proactive rather than reactive ways.
One step on the pathway to success is the drive for deliberate differentiation while remaining a member of your tribe(s). Without clearly knowing "who" you are it is exceedingly difficult to define and describe how you are different.
This is why your unique brand is so important. We all have a role to play in the preparation of teachers. What is it that you do that is unique? Identify your brand, use it to drive your decisions and you'll be on your way to deliberate differentiation.

it's about the process...
"Generate new ideas every day, even though 99% will be garbage!"
Some of what you develop will be actionable, others will not. It's about the process mostly...the process helps develop a culture of change (either within your organization or yourself). Change encourages reflection, introspection, and a valuing of evidence. Most people are afraid of big changes. If this is you, start small, test the water and build your case. Incremental change matters too.

In addition to its ongoing, now several days long campaign in Afghanistan's Badghis province, the Taliban have also apparently been active recently in Ghazni province, and an airstrike there on Tuesday reportedly killed at least seven Taliban fighters. There are several unconfirmed reports of multiple civilian casualties from the same strike, with one local official citing a total of 16 killed but some evidence the figure could be higher than that. It's unclear if this was a NATO airstrike or an Afghan airstrike.
US and Taliban negotiators concluded their latest round of peace talks in Doha on Tuesday without an agreement, but with both sides saying that they'd made "progress." Talks are still focused on the eventual US withdrawal and on ensuring that Afghanistan does not once again become a haven for al-Qaeda or similar groups. Those are the easier issues to tackle, though the two sides are still trying to come to a common understanding of what constitutes a "terrorist" group. Discussions around a ceasefire and post-war political framework promise to be more difficult and will only be taken up if these other issues can be hashed out.
North Korea held a sham election for its sham parliament on Sunday, and shock of shocks the ruling party appears to have eked out another win. The only interesting part of the outcome is that it appears that Kim Jong-un was not on the ballot. North Korean leaders have always run for parliament in the past. That probably reflects a desire to present Kim as more of a "presidential" figure, which doesn't usually include a seat in the legislature, but who knows?
Algerians don't seem quite sure how to take Monday's announcement that Abdelaziz Bouteflika will not run for a fifth term but also isn't ending his fourth term as scheduled. On the one hand, Bouteflika is finally leaving office. On the other, nobody knows exactly when that will be. There doesn't seem to be a legal basis under which Bouteflika can just extend his term like this, nor is his plan to amend the country's constitution as simple as all that. Protesters, whose demands seem to be morphing from a simple rejection of another Bouteflika term to a desire for a more fundamental political overhaul, are worried that this plan is just another attempt to buy time for the regime to shuffle some things around and maintain its hold on power. Which it probably is.
Lakhdar Brahimi, an Algerian diplomat who's spent much of his career working for the United Nations in various trouble spots like Lebanon, South Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, has apparently been tapped to lead the national convention that will work on rewriting the constitution and managing the political transition. This, too, may cause some problems with the protesters. Brahimi is actually older than Bouteflika, though he appears to still be alive so he's got one up on the president in that regard. He's also tightly connected with the ruling FLN party and that could impact on his perceived credibility.
Historian Dave Glovsky recaps Macky Sall's reelection last month:
On Thursday, Febraury 28th, Senegal's electoral commission announced the provisional results of the country's presidential election. Macky Sall won re-election in the first round with 58.27 percent of the vote, eliminating the possibility of a run-off where opposition support could have coalesced around one candidate. Despite popular opposition, especially in and around the capital of Dakar, Sall not only received a majority of the vote, but surpassed the 55.90 percent Abdoulaye Wade won during his re-election in 2007. The four other candidates on the ballot have rejected the results of the election, but have decided not to challenge it in front of Senegal's Constitutional Court. The result was also confirmed by Senegal's Constitutional Court. Idrissa Seck, the former prime minister and mayor of Thiès, finished second with 20.50 percent of the vote, followed by Ousmane Sonko at 15.67 percent. Sonko's showing, particularly among young people, will make him a formidable challenger in the 2024 election, especially given that Macky Sall will be prohibited from running again.
Seven Malian soldiers were killed on Tuesday when their vehicle hit a landmine in the central part of the country. Al-Qaeda is active in that area and has been for several years now, and it's not clear that the mine was laid recently.
UN investigators have uncovered evidence of a massacre in the DRC's western Bandundu province back in December. Over 500 members of the country's Banunu community were killed by Batende attackers, while another 19,000 people were displaced and some 1000 buildings damaged. The violence may have been linked to the DRC's presidential election, as the Batende apparently supported Joseph Kabila's government while the Banunu supported the opposition.
The Atlantic Council's Dimitar Bechev writes that Russia's TurkStream pipeline project, sort of a companion to its NordStream pipelines in the Baltic Sea but in this case running into the Balkans via the Black Sea, represents a serious challenge for the European Union:
It is no secret that the Kremlin has been throwing its weight around in the EU's backyard. But its frequently discussed methods—propaganda, disinformation, and intelligence ops—pale in comparison to its activities in the energy sector. The Kremlin has failed spectacularly in its efforts to stop countries like Montenegro and newly renamed North Macedonia from joining NATO. But its ability to co-opt politicians and businesspeople by dangling lucrative infrastructure contracts and hydrocarbon profits in front of them is unparalleled.
Europe is fighting back hard. Because TurkStream will terminate in the EU, Gazprom needs to bring it into conformity with European anti-monopoly rules. These rules, largely crafted after Russia shut off gas shipments to Ukraine in 2009, are geared toward diversifying energy supplies to avoid dependence on Russia. One such rule—that energy companies can't simultaneously own transit infrastructure and sell gas through it—presents a particular challenge for Moscow, which would otherwise allow Gazprom to both build the pipeline and then supply it.
Russia is looking for Balkan partners to bring the pipeline into compliance with EU rules, but to some degree that's going to depend on Balkan states like Bulgaria and Serbia, as well as other potential TurkStream customers like Hungary, holding the line. And Serbia and Hungary, at least, were already pretty friendly with Moscow before all this potential gas and gas-related profit entered the picture.
Despite the allegedly "legally binding" assurances she received from the European Union on Monday, Theresa May's Brexit plan was resoundingly smashed in the House of Commons again on Tuesday. Which means it's time for our favorite gif:
May had stacked the deck as much as she could, waiting until the proverbial last minute before the UK's March 29 Brexit deadline and suddenly announcing what sounded like concessions from Brussels (they probably were not really concessions) just the night before the vote. But a bad deal is a bad deal even if you twist someone's arm to accept it, and so while May got considerably more support for her deal this time than she did back in January, it wasn't enough to get over the finish line.
What happens now is unclear. What is clear is that the EU is done trying to help May get out of her political jam:
The main message to the UK this evening is "we have done all we could," said a senior EU official. They said the EU had compromised in November, when the deal was first agreed, and worked to help May with assurances in December, January, and again yesterday.
"The solution can only be found in London," the official added.
The EU were set to make clear that the UK now had three options: leave with no deal on March 29, ask for an extension, or cancel Brexit by revoking article 50.
Brussels will also note that any extension would require unanimous agreement of all 27 member states, and would be dependant on the reasons and length of an extension requested by the UK.
It's far from clear that May can make a case for an extension at this point that would satisfy every EU member state, though she may try. But there's no way she can turn this vote around with a short-term extension, and if the UK requests a lengthy extension it will have to participate in European parliamentary elections later this year. Canceling Brexit would cause a political meltdown in London without at least some intervening event like a second referendum, and even that would probably be chaos. So that leaves buckling up and feeling the Gs of a no-deal Brexit–no transition period, no trade agreement, nothing. Just out on March 29, done and dusted.
Amazingly, May hasn't resigned despite suffering two of the biggest political rejections in modern British history within the span of about two months. Parliament will vote on whether to proceed with a no-deal Brexit on Wednesday, though the no-deal Brexit may be coming whether parliament wants it or not.
There's some evidence that Venezuela's power grid is coming back on line after days of mostly blackout conditions nationwide, though there continue to be reports of outages around the country. On Tuesday, the Venezuelan government announced that it's investigating opposition leader Juan Guaidó for "sabotaging" the country's power grid, presumably in concert with the United States, though it still hasn't offered any evidence that sabotage was involved in the outage.
Nicolás Maduro's government also announced that it's giving the remaining US diplomats in Venezuela 72 hours to leave the country, a day after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the US was pulling its staff out of Venezuela because they've "become a constraint on US policy" or, in other words, "we're worried about them being taken hostage if we invade." US Venezuela envoy and confessed criminal Elliott Abrams says the Trump administration is planning some "very significant" sanctions against international financial firms over their dealings with Venezuela. And Reuters reports that Guaidó is preparing to unveil a plan to open Venezuela's oil industry up to foreign firms, presumably a sweetener to try to entice some foreign (i.e., US) military support even though the US interest in Venezuela is totally not at all about oil, I don't know where you'd even get such a crazy idea.
Finally, at The Nation Daniel Bessner and Udi Greenberg argue that the foreign policy programs unveiled by left-of-center presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are unfortunately still stuck in a counterproductive "good vs. evil" framework:
Nevertheless, progressives should be cautious about how Warren and Sanders understand international relations. For all their ingenuity, both candidates sometimes insist that this moment is defined by a battle between good and evil. In doing so, they frame geopolitics in simplistic terms that undermine the left's long-term goals. According to Sanders, for instance, the world is presently locked in a "struggle" between a "movement toward authoritarianism, oligarchy, and kleptocracy" and a "movement [committed to] strengthening democracy, egalitarianism, and economic, social, racial, and environmental justice." For this reason, Sanders maintains, the United States must lead a coalition that combats "the rise of a new authoritarian axis" led by Russia's Vladimir Putin, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, Hungary's Viktor Orbán, and other right-wing dictators. Warren has also been ominous in her rhetoric, warning that these regimes may weaken the foundations of America's democratic institutions. The global right's "marriage of authoritarianism and corrupt capitalism," she cautioned in her Foreign Affairs article, "is a direct threat to the United States, because it undermines the very concept of democracy."
While this vision of planetary struggle is enticing—what leftist doesn't abhor the oligarchic authoritarianism of Putin, Bolsonaro, Orbán, and their ilk?—it's also dangerous. Most alarmingly, Warren and Sanders's dualistic understanding of international relations uncomfortably echoes the Manichaean vision of the Cold War, the same framework they hope to replace.

In a story by journalist Sarwat Nasir of the Khaleej Times infosite, economic free zones and infrastructure for space-related activities have been launched in the UAE to help provide space firms the proper laws and regulations to operate in the country.
This is part of the UAE Space Agency's Investment Plan, which has been officially approved by the government and is now active — the National Space Strategy has also been approved. The space agency has signed a memorandum of understanding with Dubai South to use their grounds as a space economic free zone.
The UAE is focused on significantly increasing space investments in the country and under the new strategy, space firms have the necessary regulations and laws to operate in the UAE. Under the new UAE company ownership laws, the space sector is also one of those foreign companies that can retain 100 percent ownership without need of a local partner.

Bodyweight Muscle 2.0
The follow up plan to the massively popular 'Bodyweight muscle' plan. This time round you have a totally fresh approach to your workout days, training 4 times per week with NEW exercises to target all of your muscle groups in 45 minutes.
The key to this plan is to overload each of your muscle groups and also provide enough tension to help build up muscle bigger and stronger, so expect lots of holds, slowed down time-under-tension reps and variations of popular exercises. You don't need a pull up bar for this plan, everything is for limited space and no-equipment.
Exercise Examples
Customizing rest time feature doesn't workThe customizing rest time feature during workouts in the app doesn't work. I am currently doing a hiit circuit plan and the rest times between exercises are 30 seconds, which is too long as I want to keep my HR up. I tried adjusting the rest period to 15 seconds and it didn't work, it still defaulted to 30 seconds. I then tried turning the rest time OFF and it also didn't work, still defaulted to 30 seconds. And there is no option during circuits to skip the rest time similar to how you can skip the rest time during a regular workout with sets. Other than that I LOVE this app and it's kept me sane and organized both in the gym and outside of the gym. Worth the $$ and such a better deal than purchasing some plan off some IG fitness influencer.By NatalieTk for Version 6.7.0
Best workout appI've been using this app for a little over 2 years because there's no better app. It gives me confidence and direction in the gym and even now when we don't have access to the gym. I love the alternate moves, the videos, the rep tracking, the variety of apps and the customization of the workouts. This app is keeping me fit and fine in my forties! Thanks Dave and the rest of the crew! Keep up the good work!By curlycaramelcutie for Version 6.6.2
Best workout app i have usedThis app is worth the purchase! I workout by myself and sometimes i go into the gym without clue on what to do. This app gives me workouts plans that work. It guides me to do effective workout that match my goals.By Keishakia for Version 6.5.0
FinallyI have an app that excites me about going to workout... no boring same routines here ... each day is different and I love that... wish they offered a few more modifications to the workouts for some people who may have knee issues.By TravelMom0701 for Version 6.4.2
Finally feel good in the gym againI participated in competitive sports all through grade school and college. After graduating, I was completely lost in the gym since all my workouts had always been organized for me. I am athletic and fit but I suddenly felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I tried running, group fitness, CrossFit and finally landed on this app. I love that the plans are catered towards a real goal as opposed to just daily workouts. Too soon to see any actual results but I'm excited to find out. The only reason I knocked down a star is the lack of guidance on warm up. So many people (myself included) don't warm up properly which really increases risk of injury when you are working with weights. Would be great to add a short suggested warm up in each of the plans.By SLA321 for Version 6.4.0
I have cash and I tried them all..So far Im sticking with this AMAZING APP!! I always do annual payment just to see how the app fits with my crazy annual life and I have been liking this one. I just wish they add the following: Warmup Cool downs/stretching Crazy crossfit moves (pistol squats, handstands, etc) Specifying lifting tempo and weights (heavy, light, etc)By Mrs yoyo for Version 6.3.5
Great app!Easy to use and follow even if you're new to the gym! Works well with Spotify or Pandora and exercise videos don't interrupt your music. I love it! Lost my personal trainer and this has been a fantastic substitute!By Kolepagez for Version 6.3.5
Simply awesome!Love the app and all exercises and programs in it. Simple to follow instructions, simple to use. Fun to use and motivates to exercise more oftenBy kyozou for Version 6.3.2
works well with Apple Watch!I have tried several apps but none of them had great integration with Apple Watch. This app allows you to log weights and track your workout on the watch which is truly convenient when it comes to doing tri set when you no longer have to operate your phone to change exercises .By the_one_01 for Version 6.3.2
Life SaverThis app has really helped me! Usually when I go to the gym I have no idea where to start. This app has made me venture into more than just the treadmill, and I'm loving it. I highly recommend this app if your trying to get back in the gym with a solid plan to get you results.By NiaS95 for Version 6.2.9

January 30, 2007 – At today's Stated Council meeting, the members of the New York City Council will vote on legislation to ensure full opportunity for New Yorkers with limited incomes to obtain affordable housing by prohibiting discrimination against tenants based on lawful source of rent payment. This legislation will help maximize the use of available Section 8 vouchers and help low-income families access safe and permanent housing.
The Council will vote to prohibit discrimination against prospective tenants based on lawful source of income, protecting New Yorkers from housing discrimination and helping those with limited incomes find and maintain affordable housing by maximizing the use of Section 8 vouchers or other forms of governmental rent payment in the City. This vote comes after nearly a year of working with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), landlord and tenant advocacy groups to improve the administration of the Section 8 voucher programs.
"With the rising cost of housing, it's critical that we take every possible step to preserve and increase access to affordable housing, and this legislation continues the Council's efforts to do just that," said Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn. "This legislation, thanks to the hard work of the Council, ACORN and other housing groups, will not only increase access for people eligible for Section 8 vouchers to affordable housing, it will fully protect an individual's right to housing, regardless of their financial circumstances."
"As difficult as it is to find affordable housing in New York City, it is significantly harder to find an apartment with a Section 8 voucher," said General Welfare Committee Chair Bill de Blasio. "This legislation will help maximize available Section 8 vouchers and help low-income families access the housing they are eligible for and desperately need."
Understanding that small landlords may have difficulty with the administrative burden that can come with the Section 8 program, the legislation exempts landlords who own five or fewer units. However, rent controlled tenants who reside in these small properties would come under the protection of the law. The law applies to all housing accommodations, regardless of the number of units in each, of anyone who owns at least at least one property of six or more units.
A study released by ACORN NY in April of 2007 revealed that of 122 available studios and one bedroom apartments within section 8 limits listed on Craigslist, The Daily News or The New York Times classifieds, only 16 of the owners surveyed would accept Section 8 vouchers. In January of 2007, Mayor Bloomberg announced that 22,000 new Section 8 vouchers would be made available in New York City by the federal government, greatly increasing the number of low-income residents who can afford an apartment. This protective legislation will help maximize the use of available Section 8 vouchers and help low-income families access the housing for which they are eligible.
