- The Americas, which are also collectively called America, are a landmass comprising the totality of North and South America. The Americas make up most of the land in Earth's Western Hemisphere and comprise the New World.
- Along with their associated islands, the America cover 8% of Earth's total surface area and 28.4% of its land area. The topography is dominated by the American Cordillera, a long chain of mountains that runs the length of the west coast. The flatter eastern side of the America is dominated by large river basins, such as the Amazon, St. Lawrence River–Great Lakes basin, Mississippi, and La Plata. Since the America extend 14,000 km (8,700 mi) from north to south, the climate and ecology vary widely, from the arctic tundra of Northern Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, to the tropical rain forests in Central America and South America.
- The first known European settlement in the America was by the Norse explorer Leif Erikson. However, the colonization never became permanent and was later abandoned. The Spanish voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492 to 1504 resulted in permanent contact with European (and subsequently, other Old World) powers, which eventually led to the Columbian exchange and inaugurated a period of exploration, conquest, and colonization whose effects and consequences persist to the present. The Spanish presence involved the enslavement of large numbers of the indigenous population of America.
- Decolonization of the Americas began with the American Revolution in the 1770s and largely ended with the Spanish–American War in the late 1890s. Currently, almost all of the population of the Americas resides in independent countries; however, the legacy of the colonization and settlement by Europeans is that the Americas share many common cultural traits, most notably Christianity and the use of Indo-European languages: primarily Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, and, to a lesser extent, Dutch.
- The America are home to nearly a billion inhabitants, two-thirds of whom reside in the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. It is home to eight megacities (metropolitan areas with ten million inhabitants or more): New York City (23.9 million), Metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico (21.2 million), São Paulo (21.2 million), Los Angeles (18.8 million), Buenos Aires (15.6 million), Rio de Janeiro (13.0 million), Bogotá (10.4 million), and Lima (10.1 million).

Pandemic fatigue: One-in-three Canadians report struggles with mental health; 23% say they're 'depressed'
Anxiety almost twice as prevalent among younger Canadians
January 24, 2022 – Entering the third year of the pandemic, the picture of mental health in Canada is one of exhaustion and increasing trauma.
A new study from the Angus Reid Institute finds a population largely fatigued, frustrated, and anxious – and one-in-three (36%) Canadians saying they are struggling with their mental health.
This represents an increase from the one-quarter who said so in November, prior to Omicron becoming the dominant COVID-19 variant in Canada.
When asked to summarize their feelings in recent weeks, half (48%) of Canadians say they've been feeling "fatigued," while two-in-five (40%) say they've been frustrated, and another two-in-five (37%) say they've been feeling anxious. One-in-ten (12%) chose happy, half the number who chose depressed (23%).
Overall, three-in-ten Canadians say they speak regularly about their mental health with friends (30%) or family (32%), but these conversations are particularly rare among men 55 and older. Just 11 per cent in that demographic group say they talk to their friends about how they're feeling, while one-quarter (23%) talk to family. Women between the ages of 18 and 54 are much more likely to have this type of discourse, though fewer than half say this is a regular part of their life.
These conversations take on more importance when considering additional data in this study. One-in-three Canadians (35%) say that depression and anxiety are a major problem within their social circle; another half (48%) say it's an issue they're exposed to. Further, for those who perceive this as a challenge for their friends and loved ones, fully two-thirds (66%) say it has worsened during the pandemic. These same trends are noted for those who perceive people in their social circle dealing with addictions and alcoholism.
More Key Findings:
- Seven per cent of Canadians say they are "barely getting by" when it comes to their mental health in dealing with the pandemic, more than double the number measured at any point since October 2020.
- Those in Ontario (41%) and Saskatchewan and Manitoba (39%) are the most likely in the country to have been dealing with poor pandemic-related mental health in recent weeks, but at least three-in-ten in all regions report feeling not good or terrible.
- Three-in-ten (31%) say they or someone in their household had an appointment with a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist in the last year. Another three-in-ten (30%) say they've received a prescription to treat a mental health issue in the last 12 months.
- Meanwhile, men and women over the age of 54 are about half as likely to say they or someone in their household has had an appointment with a mental health professional or called a mental health hotline as their younger counterparts.
- Half (47%) of Canadians say alcohol abuse is a problem among their social circles while three-in-ten say the same of drug abuse.
About ARI
The Angus Reid Institute (ARI) was founded in October 2014 by pollster and sociologist, Dr. Angus Reid. ARI is a national, not-for-profit, non-partisan public opinion research foundation established to advance education by commissioning, conducting and disseminating to the public accessible and impartial statistical data, research and policy analysis on economics, political science, philanthropy, public administration, domestic and international affairs and other socio-economic issues of importance to Canada and its world.
Part One: One-in-three having difficulty with mental health
Half say they're fatigued, many frustrated, anxious
Part Two: Depression, anxiety, and addiction
One-third feel anxiety and depression 'major problem'
Anxiety, depression and addictions more prevalent among younger circles
Two-thirds feel loved ones' anxiety and depression have worsened during pandemic
Part Three: Let's Talk? Significant age and gender divides over who opens up
Part One: One-in-three having difficulty with mental health
The COVID-19 pandemic appears to be taking an increasing toll on Canadians' mental health. The demand for mental health-care has increased to the point where even psychiatrists are feeling burnt out and taking a step back from the profession to recover. Whether it's the enforced social distancing, isolation, the fear of infection, or the result of public health restrictions keeping Canadians from activities they enjoy, there are myriad potential causes for negative mental health impacts.
Nearing the second anniversary of Canada's first pandemic shutdown, mental health struggles among Canadians are rising. Prior to the Omicron wave, one-quarter (25%) said their mental health was not good. Now, one-third (35%) say they are struggling with their state of heart and mind, including seven per cent who say they are feeling terrible, nearly double the amount measured at any point since October 2020.
Younger Canadian adults disproportionately report feeling the mental health impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, despite the pandemic's physical health impacts primarily afflicting older generations. Among those aged 18- to 34-years-old, half (47%) of men and (51%) of women say they've been feeling not good or terrible in recent weeks. Comparatively, four-in-five (79%) men aged 55 and older and seven-in-ten (72%) women that age say they are feeling good or great (see detailed tables).
Still, for older Canadians, this represents a low for mental health dating back to October 2020. Younger Canadians have consistently reported feeling worse mentally throughout that time:
Income, too, appears to be factor. As Canadians have been dealing with the economic impacts of the pandemic, including inflation, those in lower income households are more likely to report poorer recent mental health (see detailed tables).

The mental health strains of the pandemic are also more acutely felt in the middle of the country. Two-in-five in Ontario (41%) and Saskatchewan and Manitoba (39%) say they are feeling not good or terrible in recent weeks, the most of any region in the country. That said, at least three-in-ten in all regions say they've been dealing with the mental health aspects of the pandemic poorly.
For every region in the country, fewer people report feeling "great" than they did in the summer and more people report feeling not good:
Half say they're fatigued, many frustrated, anxious
The arrival of Omicron was a significant blow to Canadians' mental health. Not only did its spread coincide with the holiday season forcing many to re-evaluate holiday plans to factor in the infectious variant, it also extended the timeline of the pandemic, making many wonder when the end will be. Half (51%) of Canadians don't believe 2022 will be the last year of the pandemic.
No wonder then, that "fatigue" is one of the top-three words Canadians would use to describe their state of mind. When offered a selection of words to describe their feelings in recent weeks, half (48%) of Canadians select fatigued. Two-in-five say they've been feeling frustrated (40%) and anxious (37%) while few say optimistic (13%), happy (12%) or untroubled (8%):
The spectrum of emotions is felt differently across age and gender lines. Women under 55 are the most likely of any group to say they've been feeling fatigued and anxious, though men under 35, too, are feeling anxiety much more than their older counterparts.
Men over 55 (27%) are the most likely of any demographic to say they've been feeling normal and also more than twice as likely (16%) as any other group to say they've been untroubled:
Part Two: Depression, anxiety, and addiction
One-third feel anxiety and depression 'major problem'
As the pandemic has dragged on, clinicians say substance use has increased. Overdoses and alcohol-related deaths have risen since 2020, according to Statistics Canada, and doctors are noticing patients are drinking more than ever.
Half (47%) of Canadians say alcohol abuse is a problem among their social circle, while three-in-ten (29%) say the same of drug addiction. Anxiety and depression are even more prevalent. One-third (35%) of Canadians say anxiety and depression is a major problem in their social circle.
Anxiety, depression and addictions more prevalent among younger circles
Two-in-five men aged 18- to 34-years-old say anxiety and depression is a major problem among the people they know, twice the rate of men over the age of 54. That same ratio is also seen among women of those ages as half (52%) of 18- to 34-year-old women say anxiety and depression is a significant issue for their friends and family. Younger men and women are also more likely to report that alcohol abuse is a major problem for their social circle than their elders:
There are regional variations as well for those issues. Two-in-five (41%) in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Atlantic Canada report anxiety and depression is a major problem among their social circle, the highest rate in the country. One-in-five (18%) in Saskatchewan and Manitoba also report that alcohol abuse is a significant problem among the people they know, also the most in the country (see detailed tables).
Two-thirds feel loved ones' anxiety and depression have worsened during pandemic
Canadians believe anxiety, depression, and addictions have worsened among the people they know during the pandemic. Two-thirds (66%) of people who know others who are struggling with anxiety and depression believe the problems have worsened since March 2020, while few (3%) believe they've improved. Half believe the pandemic has worsened drug addiction (48%) and alcohol abuse (53%) in their social circle:
For younger Canadians, worsening mental health issues appear more common. Three-quarters of men (77%) and women (76%) aged 18- to 34-years-old believe the anxiety and depression they see in their social circle has worsened during the pandemic. While less likely than their younger counterparts, still half of men (53%) over the age of 54 and three-in-five women (57%) that age have seen anxiety and depression intensify among those they know:
That trend is also seen for those who believe alcohol abuse is a problem among their social circles. Three-in-five young men (63%) and women (60%) believe drinking problems among those they know have increased since the beginning of the pandemic. For men over the age of 54, half (51%) believe it hasn't intensified, but still two-in-five (40%) believe it has indeed worsened:
Part Three: Let's Talk? Significant age and gender divides over who opens up
Three-in-ten Canadians say they often talk to their friends (30%) and family (32%) about mental health. One-quarter (25%) say they never discuss their mental wellbeing with their friends and one-in-five (21%) say it never comes up with their family:
There is a significant difference in how often these conversations are happening across age and gender lines. Women are much more likely than men to say they discuss their mental health with their friends. Younger Canadians are more open about their mental wellbeing than older ones:
Women are also more likely than men to discuss their mental health with their family. It's also more likely to be a subject of conversation for those under the age of 55 when compared to those aged 55 and older.
Notably, however, men over the age of 55 are twice as likely to say they talk about their mental health with family (23%) as friends (11%). For men aged 18- to 34-years-old, they're as likely to talk about it with both groups (30% vs 27%).
Loved ones are the most common resource Canadians lean on when it comes to their mental health. One-in-five (20%) say they or someone in their household talked to a friend, loved one or trusted person more than 10 times in the last 12 months about their mental state and seven-in-ten (68%) say they've done so at least once in the last year.
As for more professional options, three-in-ten (31%) report they or someone in their household has seen a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist at least once in the last year, a similar number (30%) say they've received a prescription to treat a mental health issue in that time frame, one-in-ten (11%) say they've called a mental health hotline and eight per cent say they've gone to urgent care because of a mental health incident:
Survey Methodology:
The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from Jan. 18-20, 2022 among a representative randomized sample of 1,509 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. The survey was self-commissioned and paid for by ARI.

A couple of weeks ago my sewing teacher, Dario, asked me and my friend Courtney if we would come with him to Olanchito (a small town an hour away from Ceiba). He was dressing about six girls that were competing to be the Carnaval Queen of said town and needed assistants to help with the sewing and the backstage stuff.
We arrived early for the fittings and turned out that pretty much all the girls were C-cups so seams had to be ripped and re-sewn…and fast! Tulle and satin was EVERYWHERE and an incident with a lit candle made us burst into nervous laughter for about 15 minutes! The event was at the "hottest" club in Olanchito. The crowds cheered while the girls posed under a disco ball.
Left: The ladies in casual wear. Right: Posing with the winner!
For the event I ended up wearing the muslin I made for last post's pink dress. All I did was add a lining,a random a polka dotted ruffle on the front and then hemmed it on the bus to Olanchito. Not what I would've liked to wear, but it did for the night. Our favorite girl of the night turned out to be the winner and after a game of pool and the witnessing of a cat fight we called it a night and headed back to our cute little hotel.
To be honest with you, I have always considered Honduran beauty pageants (maybe even in general) to be quite…ehh…funny? With the demanding mothers, cheesy stage decorations, poofy dresses and all…it's quite difficult to take them seriously! However, after I saw how much effort Dario put into the dresses and how excited and grateful all the girls were I must admit I'm now officially a hardcore pageant fan! It's a part of our culture that I've learned to see the brighter side of.

Get rid of Morton's Neuroma pain
Conservative treatment highly successful
about Morton's Neuroma
Morton's Neuroma is an enlarged nerve that usually occurs between the third and fourth toes, but a neuroma can also occur between the second and third toes. It causes shooting or burning pain on the ball of the foot. The pain can occur when walking but nerve pain can also happen with no weight on your foot.
It causes shooting or burning pain on the ball of the foot.
The nerve lies in the subcutaneous tissue, just above the fat pad on the bottom of the foot between the metatarsal bones. The ground pushes up on the enlarged nerve with each step causing the nerve to be pinched between the metatarsal bones causing pain. The nerve normally gets bigger from the pinching and increases in pain as the problem gets worse.
about Morton's Neuroma
The most common symptom is localized pain between the metatarsal bones on the bottom of the foot. It can be sharp and is worsened by shoes or walking. Many times people have shooting or throbbing pain when they are off their feet.
Usually it is easy, there is localized pain on the bottom of the foot. Commonly simply palpation to the area elicits pain when we hold the foot and push carefully on the area which causes an audible click which is the nerve being pinched between the metatarsal bones.
Our Treatment
In most cases a mild steroid injection is given 1 to 3 times over a few weeks period. This can reduce the pain. The injection is given from the top of the foot with a cold spray, this significantly reduces discomfort from the shot. If pain persists, chemical neurolysis injections can be used its generally very helpful but may result in slight numbness to the nerve area. In some cases, custom orthotics can help also.
If pain persists, chemical neurolysis injections can be used its generally very helpful but may result in slight numbness to the nerve area.
Surgery is rarely necessary, The incision is made on top of the foot to prevent a bad scar on the sole of the foot this also allows for early weight-bearing after surgery, which can be performed in the office or outpatient. Complications are rare, but the nerve can redevelop.

In Yellowstone Park, legends speak of a spirit bear referred to as "the Yogi," which few if any have actually encountered. Real or not, when a bear seems to have graduated from stealing picnic baskets to kidnapping actual campers, Ranger Smith decides it's time to stop this menace—so he calls on the services of Slade Wilson—a.k.a. Deathstroke—to get the job done. Plus, part one of a Secret Squirrel backup story written by J.M. DeMatteis. (synopsis via Newsarama)
The latest addition to DC's re-imagining of Hanna-Barbera's roster of instantly-recognisable cartoon characters is good old Yogi Bear, who is supposed to be smarter than the average bear.
But is he smarter than the classic DC mercenary and assassin Deathstroke who has acted as an adversary to all kinds of people, most notably the Teen Titans and specifically Dick Grayson, Batman and Green Arrow.
That's the story explored in the latest DC- Hanna Barbera comic crossover in which Yogi Bear goes dark, real dark, which when you think about it, jocular cheekiness aside, was always there beneath the surface in the original cartoons.
Quite whether it will work as well as other updates remains to be seen but so far the strike rate has been pretty high – Scooby Doo Apocalypse and The Flintstones being brilliant example and so hopes are high.
Off to the comic book store we go then Boo-Boo!
Jellystone Dark is currently available.

Following on from last year's successes, the Cheshire FA can now announce that the Groundsman of the Year Competition for 2015, at Step 7 and below, is now open for nominations.
The FA's Groundsmen of the Year is now in its 13th year. The Awards were set up to recognise the contribution of these 'unsung heroes', who work in all weather, all year round, to make sure that thousands of matches can take place on a high standard of playing surface.
The majority of football in this country is played outside the Football League. Quality pitches are therefore essential for the development of football at every level. Grassroots groundsman, the vast majority of whom are volunteers, play a huge role in ensuring pitches are in their best possible condition, week in, week out.
We therefore invite nominations for Groundsmen operating at Step 7 or below so if you think your surface is pitch perfect do not hesitate to nominate.
The deadline is Friday 6th February at 5:00pm.

Microsoft Buys LinkedIn for $26 Billion
Microsoft has announced that it will be acquiring professional social network LinkedIn for $26.2 billion. The acquisition marks one of the largest technology-industry deals in history. Microsoft will pay $196 per share in an all-cash transaction.
LinkedIn will still continue to operate as an independent company, retaining its branding, but with the backing of one of the biggest names in business technology. LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner will report to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The deal is expected to be finalized by the end of this year.
The announcement on Monday sent LinkedIn stock soaring nearly 50 percent. This marks the largest and most valuable acquisition in Microsoft's history.
"We are in pursuit of a common mission centered on empowering people and organizations," said Microsoft CEO Nadella in a statement.
LinkedIn and Microsoft to Remain Separate Entities
In a statement of his own, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner said "[Nadella's] vision was to operate LinkedIn as a fully independent entity within Microsoft, a model used with great success by companies like YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp. I would remain as CEO and report directly to him instead of a board."
Microsoft is clearly using LinkedIn as a way to strengthen its connection to the professional world, a space where it makes a large portion of its money. We'll also likely see greater integration with the business social network in versions of Microsoft's software, like Office and Windows.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., USA: Glidewell Dental has announced its third annual Glidewell Dental Symposium. Scheduled for Nov. 8-9, 2019, at the Hilton Bonnet Creek & Waldorf Astoria in Orlando, Fla., the event will provide practical clinical and business education, with a first day of fast-paced presentations, and a second day of in-depth lectures and hands-on programs crafted specifically to help doctors overcome the challenges of everyday dentistry.
Attendees enrolled for both days will earn up to 12 hours of continuing education (CE) credits.
"This is an exciting time to be involved in dentistry," said Dr. Neil Park, scientific chair of the Glidewell Symposium and vice president of clinical affairs at Glidewell Dental. "From innovative technologies to progressive clinical techniques, there are many opportunities to help improve oral health and transform the smiles of patients. The Glidewell Symposium, now in its third year, aims to bring dentists the emerging science, technology and clinical methodologies that will define the future of dentistry. The curriculum is intended to help clinicians learn new tools and techniques to expand their service offerings, overcome challenges, and meet the needs of patients."
Dentists have conveyed a growing need for practical and hands-on dental education, as demonstrated by last year's Glidewell Symposium, which more than doubled in size from the previous year and sold out three months before the event. In recognition of this strong enthusiasm, and to accommodate dentists in 2019, the Glidewell Symposium has moved to a world-class location in Orlando and will bring together even more experts from diverse areas of dentistry. During this weekend of networking and education, topics will cover everything from dental implants, restorative techniques and esthetic dentistry, to in-office milling, sleep-related dentistry and practice management. All courses are designed to provide real-world clinical and business solutions so that attendees can achieve immediate, tangible results when they return to their practices on Monday.
"In the general session on Friday, we will have a full day, with 16 fast-paced presentations that eliminate the nonessential information and get right to the heart of the clinical technique or business strategy being presented," said Dr. Park. "And on Saturday, attendees can choose from nearly 20 focused lectures and hands-on programs that further expand on the topics that matter most to the individual attendee. We are taking the educational format that was so popular last year and making it even better. This structure allows dentists to explore multiple avenues to advance their dental practices and promotes a path to clinical and business success."
On both days of the event, attendees will also be able to browse interactive exhibits that feature the latest in 3-D printing, intraoral scanning, in-office milling, the CAD/CAM workflow, dental implants, and regenerative and restorative materials. There will be live demonstrations, virtual reality tours, and opportunities for one-on-one discussions with the doctors and scientists who develop today's cutting-edge restorative solutions and the artificial intelligence that informs restoration-design technology.
The 2019 Glidewell Dental Symposium is for dentists, hygienists and chairside and front-office staff. Tuition for the Friday general session is $195, and to register for sessions on both Friday and Saturday, tuition is $320. Early bird pricing is available for $145 and $270, respectively, when registering by May 1, 2019. Friday tuition includes a complimentary breakfast, lunch and cocktail reception with hosted bar; Saturday tuition includes breakfast. Because last year's symposium sold out quickly, attendees are encouraged to register early to secure their seats.
For the complete symposium agenda and to register, visit glidewellsymposium.com or call (866) 791-9539.

01-04-09: Sacraments - part 1
by RKA
Dear Rev. Know it all;
Can you tell me what is going on with the sacrament of Confirmation, places like Phoenix have restored it to its original place as part of the Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, then Confirmation, then Holy Communion. Other places have it when the kids are teenagers and tell them "that's when they become fully Catholic." How can you become more fully Catholic than when you receive Communion? I wish my children would have the graces of Confirmation early on in their lives. I'm so confused!
Earl E. Byrd
Dear Earl,
I am afraid that I will be able only to add to your confusion. We moderns are absolutely clueless about sacraments. Most of us are probably incapable of sacramental life.
Let me add to your confusion by throwing in a question about same -sex marriage posed to me by Ms. Medea Medium. She wanted my comments about a Newsweek article that seemed to argue that traditional marriage isn't really a very Biblical idea, what with all the concubines and royal harems and so on. Ozzie and Harriet are nowhere to be found in the Bible. Well, that seems true enough. Ozzie and Harriet aren't found anywhere except the fantasy land of television. Let us remember that their perfect son, Ricky Nelson, wholesome matinee idol, seems to have drifted into cocaine, divorce and died prematurely in a plane crash. So much for the Ozzie and Harriet brand of normal bliss.
In any discussion of intimate relations of our over- sexed and overheated culture, it is to be remembered that, in the words of the great American philosopher, Irma Bombeck, "normal is just a setting on the drier." Forgive me, dear reader. I digress. Still, I don't know how the Newsweek article gets around the injunction of both New and Old Testaments that "a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife and the two become one flesh." That certainly seems to be description of an attempt at traditional marriage. None the less, this does not begin to describe the Sacrament of Matrimony.
I am always amazed that people who believe in the right to alternative life styles, or divorce and remarriage or living together without marriage, insist that the Roman Catholic Church celebrate their relationships. They want an ancient, hide bound, bureaucratic, slow moving bunch of traditionalists to keep up with the times. There are a lot of swell churches they can join. The Methodists even have commercials on TV that say "Come as you are! If you're breathing we're glad to have you." What about the Episcopalians? The Episcopalians simply reek of good taste and urbanity. They celebrate lots of interesting things. Compared to them we Roman Catholics are unwashed medievals, hunkered down around a fire in some freezing sod chantey somewhere on the cold western coast of Ireland.
Why is it that everyone wants the Catholic Church to join them, though they have no desire to join the Catholic Church? I have no problem with people doing what their consciences dictate. Good luck with it.
Mazel Tov!
However, I have a problem with the idea that I must do what your conscience dictates. You are uninterested in sacraments. You are only interested in my bowing to your will. Perhaps you have heard the saying, "There is no one so conservative as a liberal."
A few years back I was on the Milt Rosenberg show with John Cornwell, the author of "
Hitler's Pope.
" (By the way, Cornwell has pretty much been refuted. There are two excellent books I'd like to recommend on the topic, Rabbi Dalin's book "
The Myth of Hitler's Pope
" and Dan Kurzman's "
Special Mission
" an excellent book about Pius and the Jews.) I was prepped to talk about Pius and the Jews on this show, but Cornwell wanted to schill his new book about how out of touch that old fossil, Pope John Paul II was. I was completely outgunned. Cornewll is an Oxford Graduate and Rosenberg has enough doctorates to paper his living room. I was just a hack Latin teacher at a small college. Rosenberg and Cornwell practiced intellectual football with me as the ball, until Cornwell brought up the tragedy of his sister's wedding. He said that his divorced sister wanted to remarry in the Catholic Church, but could not. The Anglican Church down the street was happy to perform the service. He was so saddened, said he, by how the cold empty Catholic church contrasted with the full Anglican church down the street wherein the wedding revelers affirmed his sisters new relationship. I asked him a simple question,
"Are you saying that it would be better to have a church with more people and fewer demands?" For one brief moment that stopped him! He replied, "Well, that's not exactly what I meant to say." To which I responded, Well, that's what you seem to be saying," to which Dr. Rosenberg said, "Let's take a commercial break." Dr. Cornwell surely must notice that the Anglican churches in England are usually empty . They seem only to be used when having a wedding, a funeral or the crowning of some monarch or other. There are, I believe, more active Catholics in England today than there are Anglicans.
Henry VIII must be rolling over in his grave, as are at least three of his five wives. Talk about alternative life styles. Well, what has this to do with sacraments? Simply this: as far as Catholic tradition, sacraments are not about celebrating life, no matter what you may have heard form some enthusiastic clergy person or other. You may be peeved at the interesting marriage crowd, but there are a lot more people to be peeved at. The problem is far greater than you might suspect and I believe that it is eating the heart out of the Church. \
Most people believe that the Sacraments of the Catholic Church are about blessing, celebrating and affirming life's great events. People I have never laid eyes on want to have their babies baptized, they want their children confirmed, confessed and communed and they want grandma planted with all the trappings of Catholicism, complete with slide shows, bagpipes and eulogies and sometimes a sort of celebrity roast at Mass. They don't believe the Gospel any more than they believe in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus, but it's fun to pretend and looks good in the pictures.
To be continued.........

The American Business Dictionary defines the word alternative as "One of two or more ways of achieving the same desired end or goal. An alternative need not be a close substitute for the first choice (or other alternatives), but it must present a solution nevertheless."
We see automotive gear shift levers as one of the most tactile things that can improve the experience of driving an automobile, given a well-executed design. Because there haven't been more than a handful of gear shift designs that met with mainstream acceptance since the the late 1800s, we decided to look at some of the ones that didn't catch on – the alternative style gear shifters.
When you consider the list of what we consider normal, it really is a short one. Steering column-mounted manual and automatic shifters were the norm yesterday, floor-mounted manual and automatic gear shift levers are the norm today, and paddle shift levers are becoming the norm of tomorrow. You can hop right into any car through the late 1920s, and the manual shift lever is right there protruding two feet high from the floor.
Likewise, you'll find the automatic trans gear shift lever on any full-size American car from the 1970s or 80s right where you'd expect it to be – on the steering column. Odds are if you were born before 1960, you've also experienced plenty of manual gear shift levers mounted on steering columns as well. While "three-on-the-tree" column shifters have been out of fashion long enough to be a curiosity now, they are not rare or unique enough to inspire much interest when seen on the types of classic cars that were typically fitted with them new.
What do we consider an alternative gear selector? How about a tiny, joystick-sized lever mounted at the end of a steering column stalk on a 1930s Cord? We'll even consider late-1980s Mercedes 300Es built with an automatic gear shift lever on the steering column unique enough to be in the alternative category, since 99.9% of them were equipped with floor-mounted shifters. Likewise for 2006-present Dodge Charger police cars which give up the normal center console shift lever for one mounted on the wheel. Vehicles introduced on this year's international auto show circuit showed promising gear shifter uniqueness. 2013 Dodge Ram pickups feature a rotating knob on the dash standard, and a new Lincoln model integrates gear selection into flat touch pad that illuminates with display only when called upon. We like both the style and function of these designs, and hope to see similar levels of creativity from other automakers in the future. Before the future can be determined, a look back is in order…
French-made Delahaye models used gear shift selectors mounted on steering wheel stalks. Instead of moving actual linkages connected to the transmission, the shift lever activated electrical switches which controlled magnetic servos that moved the gears in the transmission whenever the clutch pedal was depressed. This is known as gear "pre selection". Some gear shift pre selector levers were mounted on steering column stalks, as seen on Delahaye and Cord models from the mid 1930s. 1936-1938 Cord models were equipped with front-wheel-drive and a transmission placed in front of the engine – a location which was impossible to reach with manual linkages. Similar to the Delahaye layout, moving the gear selector lever into each gear simply triggers electrical switches which, in turn, control a vacuum system. Pressure traveling through vacuum lines actually positions the gears inside the transmission when the clutch pedal is depressed.
1955 –
The earliest mainstream American car "alternative" gear selectors were from divisions of Chrysler Corporation, mounted on the dashboard of full-size 1955 DeSotos, Chryslers, and Imperials. It simply took a steering column shift type lever, shortened it, then positioned on the center of the dashboard instead. While this made a great deal of sense, the dashboard lever only lasted one year before push button controls for automatic transmissions became the rage.
For 1956, Chrysler advanced from dash-mounted gear shift selectors to pushbutton controls. Unlike Packard's pushbutton controls introduced this same year, these worked by using direct mechanical linkages instead of electric actuators. Chrysler New Yorker, Imperial, and other Mopar divisions used these push-button transmission controls on their pricier models. Unlike most gear selectors of this time, top-of-the-line Chrysler Imperial pushbutton controls allowed the driver to select 2nd gear or 1st gear individually. Most only had positions for Drive (D) or 2nd (Low).
Packard introduced their "Touch Button Ultramatic" transmission control pad on 1956 models. It was standard on the 1956 Caribbean and a $52 option on the Clipper and lesser-priced models. The mechanism was built by Auto-Lite, a major Packard supplier. Unlike Chrysler Corporation push button controls, Packard's was electrically actuated and used an electric shift motor (essentially a modified starter motor) to physically move the gears. At times, it would prove to weak to move the car out of Park on a steep hill and cause a circuit breaker to blow. The system was problematic, but because 1956 was Packard's last year before bankruptcy, the system was never perfected.
Ford Motor Company responded to Chrysler's lead and introduced their own push button transmission gear selector on 1957 Lincolns and high-end Mercury models such as the Monterey. Like Chrysler's, buttons pushed mechanical linkages that moved an actual rod that selected gears, and there was no complex electric engagement like Packard's. Mercury marketed the push button system as "Merc-O-Matic".
Edsel's marketing department promoted the Teletouch as a logical progression in the process of making the steering wheel a central command center – pointing out superior dashboard visibility was now possible without the column-mounted gear selector in the way. Dealers were given Teletouch face-masks to wear and pass out as promotional items. While a standard gear selector was available as a reduced-cost option for the automatic transmission on Edsel Ranger, Pacer and station wagon models, Corsair and Citation models came standard with Teletouch.
The electric servo motor that actually changed gears in the transmission was prone to failure and erratic performance due to its hot, wet and dirty operating environment between transmission housing and exhaust system. Teletouch was a 1-year only item, and was not offered on 1959 Edsels or other Fords of any kind.
Lincoln and Mercury models stuck with the less complicated mechanical linkage system, and the push button controls received a stylish update for 1958.

I like my chair, it is exactly what i wanted. Ordered it Monday and it arrived on Friday. Can't get much better service than that. I will probably buy more. - maggi
4 days delivery, better than advertisied. - Pops
The chairs were shipped flawlessly - no problems - they were all preassembled. The chairs "sit" well, they are sturdy, and we especially like the double rail support to connect the chair legs. Our only hitch is that we would have preferred to have found the same chairs in a darker color, such as an oak finish. - Sir R of M

I've been on hold for seventeen minutes now.
It's the cable company and that infernal box they've given me. The one that's supposed to give me a "crystal clear picture and flawless DVR playback." And it was, for a while. But now the picture is fuzzy and the DVR is AWOL.
"Your call is important to us," says the mechanical voice on the other end of the line. "Please hold for the next available representative."
So I wait. The choice I believe I have—to wait or just hang up—is an illusion. Hanging up will not fix my problem of the fuzzy picture and the AWOL DVR. So I'm stuck waiting. And if there is one thing I hate more than being on hold, it's having no other option.
What's worse, I can't do anything while I wait. I can't read (the only thing more distracting than the mechanical lady is the mechanical elevator music that is eating my brain). I can't listen to the radio. And of course I can't watch the television, for obvious reasons. So here I sit, picking at the hole that's been worn into the right knee of my blue jeans and wondering what this all means. Because even the worst stuff in the world can be borne more easily if bearing it means something.
Honestly, this isn't too bad. I've been on hold lots of times. The phone company, the cell company, the doctor's office. Once I was on hold for almost an hour when I realized I had no idea whom I'd called (turned out I was ordering a knife, which I then supposed I didn't really need). Seventeen minutes isn't so bad in comparison.
And of course the cable company has nothing on God. I was once on hold with Him for over twenty years. Not kidding. That's a long time to wait. A long time to sit and not have a choice in the matter. I'll be truthful and say I didn't take that very well. In fact, I sometimes said the same sorts of things about Him that I'm saying under my breath about the cable company. I'm not proud of that now, though at the time I thought it completely justifiable.
"Your call is important to us…"
I'm sure it is. Word has it that the cable company's in trouble. Lots of people are turning to the dish nowadays. I suppose there's some semblance of power in that. One small choice. I'm important because I can cancel my service.
Twenty years ago I could have cancelled my service with God, too. That was my choice. Sitting there on hold with Him all that time? I'm surprised the thought never crossed my mind. There were plenty of other providers out there who promised better service—other beliefs, other religions, even no religion (that one couldn't promise heaven, but it did its very best to promise the world).
Twenty minutes—
—"Your call is important to us."—
—and I'm still on hold. My finger dances over the END button, but instead I just grip the phone harder.
I was once on hold for much longer for much more important things. A fuzzy picture on my television is nothing next to a fuzzy picture on my life. Not being able to see the former can make me miss a run in the World Series or a touchdown on Sunday afternoon. Not being able to see the latter made me miss much more.
I'll endure this. Absolutely. Just like before.
Twenty-three minutes. Still better than twenty years.
Then again, I found out something while I was waiting all that time. I learned that God will put you on hold sometimes, but He won't bother with putting on some celestial version of elevator music to help you pass the time. Instead, He'll talk to you. His voice sounds faint; you have to listen hard to hear it. Not His fault, though. All that worry and impatience can fill the line with static.
But He'll talk. He'll say things like, "You're doing good, just hang in there" and "Your call is important to Me and so is what you're waiting on, but you know what? You're even more important than either of those."
And that's true. I think God sometimes puts us on hold just so we'll realize that. That we're more important to Him than the things we want.
After all, it isn't our happiness that He's after. Not our peace, not our dreams.
Just us.

Efficient, Effective Tax Planning, Compliance, & Consulting
No one wants to pay more taxes than required. That's why we're always thinking of the allowable strategies, and alerting clients to opportunities to reduce their tax liabilities while keeping them in compliance with ever-changing laws, rulings, court decisions, and guidance.
We invest significant resources in keeping our tax practice current. Our professionals continually strive to keep up to date with evolving tax legislation, and we proactively share our knowledge with our clients.
Our tax services include tax preparation, tax strategies and tax consulting for a variety of entities and needs:
Individuals. Our corporate clients often turn to us for individual tax compliance and consulting. In many cases, the goal is to preserve wealth for families or philanthropic endeavors, and it is our pleasure to help business owners reach their financial goals. We believe it's key to look at the individual's entire financial picture so that retirement, estate and gift planning are all tied together in a cohesive strategy. Because many of our clients' business and business and real estate holdings are structured as LLCs (reporting as partnerships), we also offer specific expertise in partnership tax planning and reporting. While LLCs offer definite advantages, they can be costly to maintain in terms of compliance. We help clients navigate the complexities of these arrangements.
Corporations & Partnerships. What's the best way to address a company's tax situation? We always explain entity choice options and offer advice to help clients make practical decisions. Whether it's a choice of entity, restructuring option, big equipment purchase, a real estate transaction, we provide the input necessary to structure the transaction in the most tax-advantaged way.
Estate, Trusts and Gifts. Everyone wants to leave a meaningful legacy. We work closely with our clients' attorneys to help preserve and transfer wealth in a way that minimizes tax liabilities. Our estate, trust and gift planning and compliance services help clients maintain control of their assets during their lives and beyond.
State and Local Tax Services. With so many important things to think about, many business owners don't consider state and local taxes (or SALT) to be much of a concern. But if you're doing business – any business – in another state, you may be subject to SALT, which can significantly impact your cash flow and effective tax rate. At GBM, we help you navigate any state's applicable tax laws and customize solutions to match your overall business objectives.
Specialty Tax Services. Over the years, we've developed specialized expertise in distinct areas of interest to our clients:
• Cost Segregation— Constructing or purchasing a building? Our cost segregation services help clients accelerate depreciation and improve cash flow.
• Tax Credit Consulting— Federal and state research and experimentation (R&E) tax credits can represent significant tax savings. Additionally, various energy credits are available. Our team helps clients capture these benefits.
• International Taxation— Our international tax practice includes services for both inbound and outbound transactions, including withholding compliance and tax planning, global tax minimization, foreign bank reporting, repatriation of profit strategies, tax treaty guidance and IC-DISC planning.

For SEO experts, what is 2021 going to be like? Check out 10 primary patterns that you need to know
SEO Trends #1: User + Search Purpose Emphasis
It's time to reflect on users and search intentions in 2021.
While this is hardly a new SEO trends or idea, it is important to refocus every year because the intent and actions of searchers change all the time.
Particularly after the year 2020, when so much has changed quickly.
Jenn Mathews, GitHub's SEO Director said:
"Our company benefits from it when we understand the nature of why people
search and assist them with content that provides the answers they are looking for."
Trend #2: Customer Analytics, Market Share & Profitability
SEO used to be for moving traffic (primarily). But SEO Trends has been turned into something far more.
Data on behavioral analytics however will become the best resource in 2021.
"With Google evolving faster and faster to provide instant results, it has become much more critical to follow responsibility beyond visits, and to match UX, conversion, and revenue,"
We'll see SEO pros dialing back keyword research and elevating first-party consumer research in order to distinguish ourselves," McAlpin said." "This study unlocks hidden opportunities that keyword research may not tell us with service offerings and content ideas."
Trend #3: Artificial Intelligence
The way people communicate with digital
reviews are modified by artificial intelligence (AI).
The AI algorithm via
Google is specifically worth noting.
The algorithm, called RankBrain, released a few years ago, plays an
an important role in Google's ranking factors for search engine result pages (SERPs)
The tool was previously highlighted by Greg Corrado,
a senior Google scientist who helped create RankBrain.
Trend #4: If you want to stay on top in
rankings, data analytics should be your goal.
You can understand clients, envision campaigns,
and develop targeted messages through data science.
Analytics will help you verify which URLs are being crawled, identify sources of referrals, check page load times, indexing, redirects, response errors, bounce rates, and more.
You can also use data science to classify pages that you don't want to index for crawlers and identify unusual sources of traffic
Trend #5: Assess, Adopt & Execute
Although it is still necessary to have basic skills and experience, the brain needs to be versatile to adapt to rapid changes.
To understand what is happening in the industry, where demand has traditionally changed, and where it is shifting in real-time, take a more strategic and blended approach.
To understand how economic, sociological, and psychological variables influence search demand, take a consultative approach and then look at understanding customer behavior and purpose at a granular level. Using all business analytics devices, platforms, and sources at your disposal.
Trend #6:Excessive-High quality, Optimized Content
There is one aspect that the lifeblood of
SEO has been and will continue to be:
Content affects everything in SEO, from the layout of your website,
and from the linking strategy to the types of links you create.
You will have to write one item that
is related and precious to hit 2020.
This means that SEOs have to find ways to
write or lend out people who know how to write.
Trend #7:Scalability of SEO
According to Mark Traphagen, Vice President of Product Marketing and Training, SeoClarity, 2021 should be your year to build scalability into your SEO Trends if you are going to get ahead of your competition.
What? How?
These three tips were shared by Traphagen:
• List on a daily basis all the duties, procedures, and workflows you do. Determine which steps can be automated or handled better using a tool.
• Set up an alert system that monitors major changes such as keyword rankings, flip-flopping URL rankings for the same keyword (URL cannibalization), changes in page content, URL changes, etc.
• Establish SoPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for any regular tasks that you can not automate, so that your team may not waste time reinventing how to do them so each time they need to perform them.
Trend #7:Mobile SEO
Stunned to see mobile SEO as a necessary trend for 2020? Hey. Don't be.
Nearly every applicant coming into our store has a multitude of mobile devices. It's good to adopt 2017 strategies and restore your smartphone in order to succeed in 2021.
What does this imply?
Create mobile websites first, then render them suitable for the desktop. These websites should not be configured for speed after pacing in that way.
Trend #8:Link Building & Brand Building
In 2021, hyperlink construction will be before brand construction.
SEOs would have the duty to create connections and media placements that drive traffic and push the brand, not just hyperlinks that help with search rankings. Our link-building method now needs to be on-brand, or there is a real possibility that there will be no brand-building exercise in any way.
It is vital to create a brand folk's trust and have to do business with it.
Users are getting smarter and so, in the case of marketing, they demand extra. The more they trust you, the more they want to share your content (hyperlinks), speak about you (worth), and buy your items (revenue).
Trend #9:Programming
In 2021, to minimize your most time-consuming and redundant tasks, However you need to turn to program languages such as Python and R.
SEO automation will free you as much as the marketing basics facility will take advantage of:
• Talking about the language of your customer.
• Listening to your target market & delivering considerate/well-timed replies.
Trend #10:UX & Technical SEO

It is difficult to secure something original and difficult to come up with something new in the realm of fitness and bodybuilding; sometimes, exercises are similar or overlap with one other. However, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the man who was successful in inventing his own exercise.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former bodybuilder, found that his shoulder muscles developed asymmetrically. And Schwarzenegger solved the problem with a bench press with a dumbbell turn seated from the chest. Yes, the workout is similar to a standard dumbbell press, but there are some distinctions. This technique provides the quickest rise in visual volume and distributes the stress evenly across all deltoid muscle bundles.
Schwarzenegger demonstrated the usefulness of the exercise with a personal example, and he was the first to film his implementation. As a result, Arny had a superb athletic physique, and the exercise was named after him. Arnold Press muscles can also be beneficial.

How to Perform the Arnold Press for the Best Effect
The key distinction between Arnold Presses and the traditional dumbbell press is that tension in the deltoid muscles is maintained throughout the exercise. This is because the elbows are moved forward and are at their lowest point. Normally, the elbows in this posture are dropped to the sides of the body during a bench press, but Arnold Presses keep the elbows in front of the body.

Since the primary muscles worked by Arnold Presses are the deltoids, this exercise is often done with lighter weights than a bench press. The Arnold Presses target the muscles on the front, sides and back of the shoulders; namely, the deltoid muscle, trapezius muscle (neck and upper back), pectoralis major muscle (chest) and latissimus dorsi.
Here is a step-by-step guide to help you maximize your Arnold Presses:
· Raise the dumbbells to your neck level. Please keep in mind that the palms should start facing the body and then pivot away from it as you elevate. Make sure the triceps are not squeezed against the chest and keep a distance between them during the workout.
· Raise your arms and spread them apart as you exhale. Turn your palms outward, away from you, so they are facing away from your body at the top point. You should not elevate or lower your head. Stop and make an extra effort as you exhale, straining the deltoid muscles. Why it matters: The muscles must be kept taut at all times, else the result will be weaker because blood will depart the muscles. Raise your straight arms to the top of the amplitude, bend your elbows slightly, and turn your palms forward.
· While inhaling, lower the dumbbells. Turn your palms towards the body at the delta level. Remember to bring your elbows forward, in front of your chest.

Arnold Dumbbell Press
These days, the Dumbbell Arnold Press, also known as the DB Arnold Press, is one of the most common workouts that can be found in a lot of workout routines that are meant for bodybuilders. This is because the exercise proved to be efficient in terms of muscle mass and strength-building. When performing Arnold Presses with Dumbbells, you need to lie flat on your back with one arm under the chin, away from the chest, and one arm outstretched in front of you.

You then need to raise both arms simultaneously in order to bring them above your head until they are touching at the same time. This way, your chest is lifted and the chest muscles are engaged. Perform a controlled descent, bringing your arms down slowly until your arms are stretched out in front of you again.
Arnold Shoulder Press
The Shoulder Press Arnold version of the exercise works quite similarly with the classic Arnold Press, but the difference is the Shoulder Arnold Press works the arm, in addition to the shoulder. The way to perform the Arnold Shoulder Press is with the arm placed outstretched to the side, with your hand on top of your opposite wrist. This will work out a stabilizing effect in addition to working out each shoulder.

Seated Arnold Press
The Seated Arnold Press is pretty much the same as the other versions of the exercise, but the main difference is that the Seated Arnold Press is done sitting down. This way, the body is positioned in a way that allows for the head to come closer to the ground, increasing the tension on all three areas of the muscles targeted in this exercise. Perform a Seated Arnold Press by sitting with your back straight against a bench or chair and then hunching your shoulders down towards your hips. Keep them there as you begin to lower the weights behind you, under control , until your arms are straight in front of you. Then, push the weights back up and return to the starting position.

Standing Arnold Press
The Standing Arnold Press, also known as the Standing Arnold Chest Press, is another variation of the Arnold Press that can be done by pushing the body up and back while maintaining a slight bend in the knees. The stand-up Arnold Press is similar to the Bench Press except that it is done standing, with feet shoulder-width apart. The Standing Arnold Press also has a variety of variations, including the incline press and decline press.

Arnold Press for Different Other Types of Muscles
The Arnold Press exercise isn't only beneficial for the deltoid muscles, you can also utilize this exercise for other muscles in the body such as the rhomboids, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and serratus. If you're looking to tone up the deltoid muscles and target the rhomboid muscles at the same time, then you can do a modified Arnold Press using a dumbbell in place of a barbell by leaning your torso back against the floor and rolling the dumbbell up to your shoulder and then pressing it back overhead.

You can also use the Arnold Press exercise to target the muscles in the lower back by placing your hands on a Swiss ball and performing an Arnold Press with a controlled movement. This type of Arnold Press will work some of the lower back muscles such as the glutes and the erectors.
Here are some specific Arnold Press variations for other muscles in the body:
Single Arm Arnold Press (One Arm Arnold Press)
Also known as the One Arm Arnold Press, the single arm Arnold Press is quite similar to the classic Arnold Press, but with a few key differences. For one, Instead of only the deltoids, the Single Arm Arnold Press works other muscles such as the biceps, elbow and wrist. This type of exercise is often used in combination with the classic Arnold Press to target specific body parts. To do this, position yourself on your back with your hands in a neutral grip position and shoulder width apart. Keeping your abs tight, push the weight up until it's just off of your chest then lower it to the floor in one smooth motion. It can be difficult to focus on the target muscles when you're performing the movement, but that's okay. You'll get the hang of it soon.

Arnold Chest Press
While the Single Arm Arnold Press focuses on the biceps, elbows, and wrists, the Arnold Chest Press focuses on working the pectorals and triceps. The Single Arm Arnold Press is a isolation exercise, meaning that the targeted muscle is not strengthened by performing it in conjunction with other muscles in the body. Conversely, the Arnold Chest Press is a compound movement, meaning that it strengthens the targeted muscle by working it with other muscles in the body. The way to perform the Arnold Chest Press is to lie on one side and place the elbow of the arm that is on the same side as your chest in a stabilizing position. This will require you to use your lower body to support your upper body, which is a compound movement.

Arnold Curl Press
The Single Arm Arnold Press works the biceps, elbows, and the wrists. The Arnold Chest Press works the Triceps and the Pectorals. Not let's take a look at the Arnold Curl Press, which works the biceps, forearms, and shoulders. To do a proper Arnold Curl Press exercise, the barbell should be held at the back of the neck with the palms (of both hands) facing out. To perform a proper Arnold Curl Press exercise, stand up straight holding a barbell and bend your knees so that you are standing on your toes. Keeping your arms straight, bend forward from the hips until your upper body is parallel to the floor. Then push back up to the starting position.

Some Other Unusual Arnold Press Variants
The ones mentioned above are not the only variations of the Arnold Press. Some other variations of this exercise are a little bit more unusual, but can still be effective in enhancing several muscles in the body. These Unusual Arnold Press variants include exercises such as the Arnold Press with a kettlebell, the Arnold Press on a Swiss ball, and the Kneeling Arnold Press. Let us take a look at them one by one:
Arnold Press with a Kettlebell
This one may seem similar to the classic Arnold Press, but instead of performing this exercise with a dumbbell, it is performed with kettlebells. Doing so will work the entire body with one single exercise. How to do it: Stand with the kettlebells in front of your chest, elbows bent at 90 degrees and your back straight. Keeping your core engaged, press the kettlebells overhead until they are slightly higher than shoulder level. Squeeze them together tightly and return to starting position.

Arnold Press on a Swiss Ball
This one belongs to the more peculiar side of the Arnold Press variants. The Arnold Press on a Swiss Ball aims to work muscles such as the shoulders and chest, but also the abs. In order to do this, you take the Arnold Press on a Swiss Ball and place one knee onto a Swiss ball that has been placed on its side. At the same time, you bend your elbows in front of your torso to form an upside down "V" shape with your arms. You then bring both your arms down over the Swiss ball and pick up as much weight as you can behind your elbows, with your elbows in front of the Swiss ball. From here, you push off from the Swiss ball by pushing off from your shoulders, which will cause your chest to perform a pressing motion.
The Arnold Press on a Ball is one of the more challenging variations because it requires your whole body to work together, so it'll be a tough one for beginners. We suggest doing this exercise once you are comfortable enough to do complex exercises on your workout routines.
Arnold Curl Press
The Arnold Curl Press is another uncommon variation of the Arnold Press Exercise. This particular version works the muscles of the arm and the bicep. To do this, all you need to do is stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand. Next, raise your arms to shoulder height and curl the weight of your left arm towards your chest as you press down on the weight of your right arm. This variation is a little bit more complicated than other versions of this exercise, which makes it more difficult.
The Arnold Press vs Other Press Exercises
Arnold Press vs Shoulder Press
While the Arnold Press and the Shoulder Press are both similar to one another, there are still some differences that people should be aware of. The Arnold Press is used to target the muscles in the front of your shoulders, whereas the Shoulder Press targets those in your upper back. The Arnold Press is also done with a barbell, whereas the Shoulder Press can be done with dumbbells or kettlebells.
Another key difference between the two is that the Arnold Press is done with a pronated elbow position, while the Shoulder Press has a neutral elbow. The Arnold Press is an isolation exercise, meaning that it works just one muscle group at a time and does not incorporate other muscles. This can be helpful for those that have limited shoulder movement or those who only have one working side of their shoulders. As for the Shoulder Press, it is a full-body exercise and works the middle deltoid, trapezius, and rhomboids.
The Arnold Press is an isolation exercise that offers a range of motion from shoulder to elbow flexion. This movement does not require any other muscles to participate besides those in the shoulder joint itself. By contrast, the Shoulder Press requires the participant to use their triceps, biceps and chest muscles. The Arnold Press starts with a barbell resting on the shoulders with an overhand grip. The elbow is flexed to 90 degrees and pushed back while keeping both arms straight in front of the chest and head. Then, the forearm moves down in a semicircle until it reaches level with the elbow joint, and the barbell is pushed back. This movement is repeated for a set number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.

Arnold Press vs Military Press
The Military Press is another exercise that bodybuilders often utilize in order to activate and work several muscles in the body. When compared to the Arnold press, there are some key differences that should be noted and kept in mind. For starters, unlike the Military Press, the Arnold Press is below the waist and can also be performed with the barbell. The Arnold press is also done with a slightly wider grip and sometimes done from a box or bench.
Another difference that should be noted is that, during the military press, the person's feet are not in line with each other. This alteration of foot positioning is made to take advantage of more muscle groups around the shoulder joint. The military press is typically done with the feet in a staggered or wide stance. This placement keeps the barbell on the front part of your shoulders which will use more muscles to elevate the load compared to if your feet were set in line with each other and your grip was narrower.
Arnold Press vs Overhead Press
The Overhead Press is yet another exercise that is more commonly compared to the Arnold Press. The main key differences of the Overhead Press and the Arnold Press is that the Arnold Press is done with a barbell and the Overhead Press is done with dumbbells. Another key difference is that the Overhead Press aims to work the arms and shoulders while the Arnold Press aims to work the chest and triceps. The Overhead Press is done with a dumbbells while standing behind your head. You should be standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointing outwards, making sure that your knees are inside of your elbows. You should then squat down until you feel like you are at the top of a squat. You should then press the weights up until you are standing straight once again.
Best Deltoid Exercises
Apart from the Arnold Press, there are several other exercises that best improves the deltoid muscles. Some of these exercises are focused on the rear deltoid muscles, while some are focused on the front deltoid muscles. For a better overview, here are some of the best deltoid exercises:
Rear Delt Exercises
The Rear Delt Exercises, also known as Posterior Deltoid Exercises, are exercises that focus on the said muscles. The best posterior deltoid exercises include the Seated Dumbbell Lateral Raise, the Incline Dumbbell Lateral Raise, and the Inverted Rows. In general, the lateral raise is more effective for mass and strength gains due to the increased focus on the upper back, while the inverted row will change your body into a horizontal position, switching off your side delts.
Side Delt Exercises
lateral deltoid exercises
The side delt muscles, also known as the lateral deltoid muscles, are the muscles that are mainly responsible for rotational movements of the arm and shoulder. The best Lateral Deltoid Exercises often include the use of dumbbells, but this can be substituted with a fixed bar or even your hand. These exercises are the lateral raise, lateral raise with a twist, and lateral press. These lateral deltoid exercises are best done in a high-intensity circuit.
Front Delt Exercises
The Anterior Deltoid Exercises, also known as the Front Deltoid Exercises, are the workout exercises that focuses on the front deltoid muscles, which are the muscles responsible for the front of the shoulder. The exercises mainly target the anterior deltoid, which is located on the shoulder, and it can also be used for other body parts as well. The best Anterior Deltoid Exercises include the military press, side delt raise, concentration curl and the reverse fly. The exercises are done in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes facing forward.
Athletes who practice the exercise while sitting, leaning on a chair or the back of a straight sitting bench, achieve the best benefits. Why the Arnold press from a seated posture is more effective: the body is fixed, and you don't have to invest energy to keep it stable. This means that the athlete will just train on the shoulder muscles and not on the rest of the stabilizing muscles necessary for balance and support.
One detail that is overlooked, but which every athlete is aware of, is that Arnold favored the use of anabolic steroids during his career. It is no secret that anabolic steroids are required for large and defined muscles. If you want to make bigger and better gains, or even break through a plateau in your training, we have numerous supplements that can help, such as Anadrol, Testosterone, Trenbolone, or even one of Arny's favorites, Dianabol!

Covid-19 Adaptations
to support the ClimeTime network
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ClimeTime leadership team and partner organizations adapted the network and project activities in several ways. First, the network convening held in March 2020 was modified into a two-day virtual gathering. Network leaders also provided ongoing support to partner organizations to complete their grant activities using remote learning techniques for the year to continue building educators' capacity for NGSSaligned and climate learning.
Network Convening
What We Did
The network convening scheduled for March 2019-20 was adapted into a virtual format involving eight hours of engagement each day. Network leaders intentionally designed the gathering to include many interactive activities and opportunities for movement, including walk and talks, use of breakout rooms for group discussions and project work, and collaborations on color-coded slide decks. This rapid adaptation required close coordination and substantial planning by the leadership team in order to model strategies for online facilitation that continue to be essential for remote forms of professional learning during COVID-19.
What We Learned
One key insight that emerged from this re-design process was to focus on the most important aspects of a learning experience. In order to maintain participant energy and engagement in a virtual context, network leaders eliminated some of the originally scheduled activities to concentrate on essential components. In reflecting on the convening, the leadership team recognized the need to arrange online gatherings in shorter segments, over the course of more days, and with more built-in breaks. This learning directly informed the design of the ClimeTime virtual conferences designed for Washington educators later in the spring (see ClimeTime Network Virtual Conferences: A COVID-19 Adaptation to Support WA Educators for more details).
Grantee Support
What We Did
In addition to the March convening, ClimeTime network leaders provided support for grantees in adapting their project activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, members of the leadership team offered slide templates and shared strategies for facilitating virtual learning and connecting with educators. They served as thought partners for adjusting to the opportunities and constraints of online contexts, such as shifting from full-day trainings to shorter sessions over the course of multiple days. Regional science coordinators across the state also offered crucial partnership support for community-based grantees to reach teachers with these modified professional learning opportunities. Finally, resources on how to think about home-based learning and decenter virtual only learning in the context of grantee work were also provided and explored.
What We Learned–and How We Are Imagining Forward
Learning and working together as a network continues to open new possibilities for climate science learning that is responsive to emergent needs in the COVID moment and beyond. Partner organizations are imagining and strengthening place-based and community-based approaches, such as home-based and family-centered science learning (See resources on supporting home-based learning or Learning in Places), sensemaking with local phenomena, leveraging video libraries and other technological resources (such as CLEAN resources or Ambitious Science Teaching video library), and facilitating synchronous or asynchronous outdoor learning experiences (such as those from NEEF and NAAEE). These innovations offer ways to rethink the structures of formal schooling, in part through learning from the deep expertise of informal and community-based educators.
Throughout these ongoing innovations, network leaders and partners are centering equity and access to consequential learning for students and educators. Ongoing challenges include, for example, access to local outdoor spaces, inclusive practices for students receiving special education services, and availability of virtual learning technologies. Equity concerns are also central in partnership relationships, specifically in considering and enhancing the capacity of differently situated organizations to ensure that educational organizations maintain the resources needed for equitable climate science learning.

Project Partners
The ClimeTime network really assisted us with putting our last session online and sharing ways to reach teachers during the COVID crisis. (…) The addition of the virtual conferences allowed our project to reach across the state to lend our expertise around taking students outside to teachers we wouldn't normally be able to reach.
By hosting trainings online, Washington Green Schools is able to accomodate teachers from school districts across the region. And by eliminating travel, we've decreased our carbon footprint too!
