Want to get strong, but don’t have time for a gym? Strength training is key for increasing flexibility, reducing injury risk and maintaining an overall healthy body. The best part is that it doesn’t have to take long. Here we’ll teach you a simple nine-minute-long strength training program that you can complete in your own home. All you need is a set of dumbbells (or another type of weight), a clock and the goal of building a stronger body.
Spend 9 Minutes With Your Weights
How to Do It
The following nine moves are strength training exercises that you may have seen before. Alone, they each work a set group of muscles, but strung together in one-minute intervals, these nine exercises become a complete, whole-body workout.
We’ve broken down the nine exercises into three sets of three. Before you begin each set, set a timer (or workout near a watch with a second hand.) If you are just starting to work out, do each exercise as hard as you can for one minute, followed by the next, until you complete the first set. Then, take a one minute break before moving on to set two, in which the exercises should also be performed for one minute each.
Ultimately, you’ll complete the whole workout, having completed nine minutes of training with three minutes of break in between.
Do this workout two to three times a week for maximum benefits.
pay now and get access for a year. this one started with it's a zoo crossing nothing burger, two entries i heard on the same day i started this puzzle. the former was a response to the nyc subways on a particularly bad day and the latter was uttered on cable news at least five times that day, probably by defense lawyers for you know who. i liked contortionist because i had the clue (one who is bent out of shape) in mind for a while. i also really like the clue for centripetal (a force of nature). it seems that many themeless puzzles these days don't favor long words instead of phrases or idioms; some think they're not as interesting. i think it's all about the clues   if they're clever, then the solver will enjoy the entry. midsentence occurred to me because i have the bad habit of interrupting others that way. my daughter has recently made a point of that to me. i was surprised to learn that this is the first time that word was in a times crossword. i'm pleased that this puzzle is mostly junk free in a pretty diagram. after all the puzzles i've constructed over the years, i still get a kick out of a good looking grid with a low word count. the aesthetics of an attractive array of black and white squares is not appreciated by all solvers, but it's a big part of why i like to solve and create themeless puzzles so much. i often tell constructors how important multi word phrases are in themelesses   it was one of rich norris' major points to me, way back when i first started creating them. not only do they tend to be more colorful than single words (which can often come across as workmanlike), but it's a neat challenge trying to figure out where the word breaks ought to be. but as randy points out, contortionist is a strong exception to this rule of thumb. it's not something you hear every day, and what imagery it evokes! plus, that fantastic clue   someone getting bent out of shape indeed. that's the type of wordplay that makes a themeless entry stand out. nothing burger might also be an exception. it is a multi worder, but i'm not positive it's that well known. (i personally find it amusing when kevin o'leary from "shark tank" says it.) it's reasonable to expect solvers to learn something new, but then the entry doesn't generate the same level of cleverosity as contortionist and its clue. solid center of the puzzle, conan obrien and centripetal acceleration filling things out. so much goodness, i didn't mind a little me do / unos holding it all together. i might have tried to rejigger the sw and ne corners, though. those intersecting triple stacks of 7s might not look that hard, but i think it's one of the most underestimated challenges in all of themeless construction. looks so innocuous, doesn't it? but there's a reason why we get serio and mss up top and wilee and neer in the opposite corner. all that glue, for what? bit part is nice, and this physics geek likes interia, but overall, those corners hold more liabilities than assets. generally, i try to avoid this sort of grid pattern. shifting some blocks around could have broken up at least one of those triple stacked 7s. overall though, still a good saturday challenge   especially that prole / privet / prada region, with a ridiculously hard clue for prada. i wonder if fashionistas knew that the brand uses the same word as a luxurious italian house? i was super thankful to guess the privet / prada crossing correctly! added note: astute reader mike knobler pointed out that the prada clue meant "house" in the "place of business" sense. d'oh! went over my head; i should have (eventually) figured that out. answer summary:4 unique to this puzzle, 2 debuted here and reused later. there are 15 rows and 15 columns, with 0 rebus squares, and 4 cheater squares (marked with "+" in the colorized grid below.) the grid uses 22 of 26 letters, missing jkqx. it has normal rotational symmetry. average word length: 5.97, scrabble score: 282, scrabble average: 1.43. puzzle has 2 fill in the blank clues and 0 cross reference clues. this puzzle has 4 unique answer words. it has 2 words that debuted in this puzzle and were later reused: these 27 answer words are not legal scrabble™ entries, which sometimes means they are interesting: various thumbnail views are shown: crosswords that share the most words with this one (excluding sundays): unusual or long words that appear elsewhere: other puzzles with the same block pattern as this one: other crosswords with exactly 28 blocks, 66 words, 103 open squares, and an average word length of 5.97: the next two sections attempt to show how fresh the grid entries are. in this view, unusual answers are colored depending on how often they have appeared in other puzzles. unique answers are in red, red overwrites orange which overwrites yellow, etc. cheater squares are indicated with a + sign. freshness factor is a calculation that compares the number of times words in this puzzle have appeared in other modern era puzzles. click here for an explanation. the chart below shows how many times each word has been used across all nyt puzzles, old and modern including variety. found bugs or have suggestions? please let us know. like this puzzle? please share this page on social media to help spread the word about xword info. thanks!

meghan mccain eulogized her father at a memorial service in washington, d.c. "the world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and i hate very much to leave it." when ernest hemingway's robert jordan, at the close for whom the bell tolls, lies wounded and waiting for his last fight, these are among his final thoughts. my father had every reason to think the world was an awful place. my father had every reason to think the world was not worth fighting for. my father had every reason to think the world was worth leaving. he did not think any of those things. like the hero of his favorite book, john mccain took the opposite view. you had to have a lot of luck to have had such a good life. i am here before you today saying the words i have never wanted to say, giving the speech i have never wanted to give, feeling the loss i have never wanted to feel. my father is gone. john sidney mccain iii was many things. he was a sailor. he was an aviator, he was a husband, he was a warrior, he was a prisoner, he was a hero, he was a congressman, he was a senator. he was a nominee for president of the united states. these are all the titles and the roles of a life that has been well lived. but they are not the greatest of his titles nor the most important of his roles. he was a great man. we gather here to mourn the passing of america greatness. the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly. nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served. he was a great fire who burned bright. in the past few days my family and i have heard from so many of those americans who stood in the warmth and light of his fire and found it illuminated what is best about them. we are grateful to them because they are grateful to him. a few have resented that fire, for the light it cast upon them, for the truth it revealed about their character. but my father never cared what they thought and even that small number still have the opportunity, as long as they draw breath, to live up to the example of john mccain. my father was a great man. he was a great warrior. he was a great american. i admired him for all of these things, but i love him because he was a great father. my father knew what it was like to grow up in the shadow of greatness. he did just as his father had done before him. he was the son of a great admiral who was also the son of a great admiral. and when it came time for the third john sidney mccain to become a man, he had no choice, but in his own eyes to walk in those exact same paths. he had to become a sailor. he had to go to war. he had to have his shot at becoming a great admiral as they also had done. the paths of his father and grandfather led my father directly to the harrowing hell of the hanoi hilton. this is the public legend that is john mccain. this is where all the biographies, the campaign literature and public remembrances say he showed his character, his patriotism, his faith and his endurance in the worst of possible circumstances. this is where we learned who john mccain truly was. all of that is very true, except for the last part. today, i want to share with you where i found out who john mccain truly was. it wasn't in the hanoi hilton. it wasn't in the cockpit of a fast and legal fighter jet. it wasn't on the high seas or the campaign trail. john mccain was in all of those places, but the best of him was somewhere else. the best of john mccain, the greatest of his titles and most important of his roles was as a father. imagine the warrior, the night of the skies, gently carrying his little girl to bed. imagine the dashing aviator who took his aircraft hurdling off pitching decks in the south china seas kissing the hurt when i fell and skinned my knee. imagine the distinguished statesman who counselled presidents and the powerful singing with his little girl in oak creek during a rainstorm to "singing in the rain." imagine the senator, fierce conscience of the nation's best self, taking his 14 year old daughter out of school because he believed that i would learn more about america at the town halls he held across the country. imagine the elderly veteran of war in government whose wisdom and courage were sought by the most distinguished men of our time with his eyes shining with happiness as he gave blessing for his grown daughter's marriage. you all have to imagine that. i don't have to because i lived it all. i know who he was. i know what defined him. i got to see it every single day of my blessed life. john mccain was not defined by prison, by the navy, by the senate, by the republican party or by any single one of the deeds in his absolutely extraordinary life. john mccain was defined by love. several of you out there in the pews who crossed swords with him, or found yourselves on the receiving end of his famous temper, or were at a cross purposes to him on nearly anything, are right at this moment doing your best to stay stone faced. don't. you know full well that if john mccain were in your shoes here today, he would be using some salty word he used in the navy while my mother jabbed him in the arm in embarrassment. he would look back at her and grumble and maybe stop talking. but he would keep grinning. she was the only one who could do that. on their first date, when he still did not know what sort of woman she was, he recited a robert service poem to her called "the cremation of sam mcgee" about an alaskan prospector who welcomes his cremation as the only way to get warm in the icy north. "there are strange things done in the midnight son by the men who moil for gold. the arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold." he had learned it in hanoi. a prisoner in the next cell had wrapped it out in code over and over again during the long years of captivity. my father figured if cindy lou hensley would sit through that and appreciate the dark humor that had seen him through so many years of cruel imprisonment, she just might sit through a lifetime with him as well. and she did. john mccain was defined by love. this love of my father for my mother was the most fierce and lasting of them all, mom. let me tell you what love meant to john mccain and me. his love was the love of a father who mentors as much as he comforts. he was endlessly present for us and though we did not always understand it, he was always teaching. he didn't expect us to be like him. his ambitions for us, unmoored from any worldly achievement, was to be better than him, armed with his wisdom and informed by his experiences, long before we were even old enough to have assembled our own. as a girl i did not fully appreciate what i most fully appreciate now: how he suffered and how he bore it with a stoic silence that was once the mark of an american man. i came to appreciate it first when he demanded it of me. i was a small girl thrown from a horse and crying from a busted collarbone. my dad picked me up, he took me to the doctor and got me all fixed up. then he immediately took me back home and made me get back on that very same horse. i was furious at him as a child, but how i love him for it now. my father knew pain and suffering with an intimacy and immediacy that most of us are blessed never to have endured. he was shot down, he was crippled, he was beaten, he was starved, he was tortured and he was humiliated. that pain never left him. the cruelty of his communist captors ensured that he would never raise his arms above his head for the rest of his life. yet he survived, yet he endured, yet he triumphed. and there was this man who had been through all that with a little girl who simply didn't want to get back on her horse. he could have sat me down and told me all of that and made me feel small because my complaint and my fear was nothing next to his pain and memory. instead, he made me feel loved. "meghan," he said, in his quiet voice that spoke with authority and meant you had best obey, "get back on the horse." i did and because i was a little girl, i resented it. now that i am a woman, i look back across that time and see the expression on his face when i climbed back up and rode again, and i see the pride and love in his eyes as he said, "nothing is going to break you." for the rest of my life, whenever i fall down, i get back up. whenever i am hurt, i drive on. whenever i am brought low, i rise. that is not because i am uniquely virtuous or strong or resilient. it is simply because my father, john mccain, was. when my father got sick, when i asked him what he wanted me to do with this eulogy, he said, "show them how tough you are." that is what love meant to john mccain. love for my father also meant caring for the nation entrusted to him. my father, the true son of his father and grandfather, was born into an enduring sense of the hard won character of american greatness and was convinced of the need to defend it with ferocity and faith. john mccain was born in a distant and now vanquished outpost of american power and he understood america as a sacred trust. he understood our republic demands responsibilities even before it defends its rights. he knew navigating the line between good and evil was often difficult, but always simple. he grasped that our purpose and our meaning was rooted in a missionary’s responsibility stretching back centuries. just as the first americans looked upon a new world full of potential for a grand experiment in freedom and self government, so their descendants have a responsibility to defend the old world from its worst self. the america of john mccain is the america of the revolution. fighters with no stomach for the summer soldier and sunshine patriot, making the world anew with the bells of liberty. the america of john mccain is the america of abraham lincoln. fulfilling the promise of the declaration of independence that all men are created equal and suffering greatly to see it through. the america of john mccain is the america of the boys who rushed the colors in every war across three centuries, knowing that in them is the life of the republic and particularly those   by their daring   as ronald reagan said, "gave up their chance at being husbands and fathers and grandfathers and gave up their chance to be revered old men." the america of john mccain is, yes, the america of vietnam. fighting the fight even in the most forlorn cause, even in the most grim circumstances, even in the most distant and hostile corner of the world. standing in defeat for the life and liberty of other peoples in other lands. the america of john mccain is generous and welcoming and bold. she is resourceful and confident and secure. she meets her responsibilities, she speaks quietly because she is strong. america does not boast because she has no need to. the america of john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. [applause] that fervent faith. that proven devotion. that abiding love. that is what drove my father from the fiery skies above the red river delta to the brink of the presidency itself. love defined my father. as a young man, he wondered if he would measure up to his distinguished lineage. i miss him so badly. i want to tell him he did. but i take small comfort in this: somewhere in the great beyond, where the warriors go, there are two admirals of the united states meeting their much loved son. they're telling him he's the greatest among them. dad, i love you. i always have. all that i am, all that i hope, all that i dream is grounded in what you taught me. you loved me and you showed me what love must be. an ancient greek historian wrote that the image of great men is woven into the stuff of other men’s lives. dad, your greatness is woven into my life. it's woven into my mother's life. it's woven into my sister's life and it is woven into my brothers' lives. it is woven into the life and liberty of the country you sacrificed so much to defend. dad, i know you were not perfect. we live in an era where we knock down old american heroes for all of their imperfections. when no leader wants to admit to fault or failure, you were an exception and you gave us an ideal to strive for. look, i know you can see this gathering here in this cathedral. the nation is here to remember you. like so many other heroes, you leave us draped in the flag you loved. you defended it. you sacrificed it. you have always honored it. it is good to remember that we are americans. we don't put our heroes on pedestals just to remember them. we raise them up because we want to emulate their virtues. this is how we honor them and this is how we will honor you. my father is gone. my father is gone, and my sorrow is immense. but i know his life and i know it was great because it was good. and as much as i hate to see him go, i do know how it ended. i know that on the afternoon of august 25, in front of oak creek in cornville, arizona, surrounded by the family he loved so much, an old man shook off the scars of battle one last time and arose a new man to pilot one last flight up and up and up, busting clouds left and right, straight on through to the kingdom of heaven. and he slipped the earthly bonds, put out his hand, and touched the face of god. i love you, dad. neither the catt center nor iowa state university is affiliated with any individual in the archives or any political party. inclusion in the archives is not an endorsement by the center or the university.

message of his holiness pope francis for the world day of prayer for the care of creation 1 september 2018 dear brothers and sisters, on this day of prayer, i wish first to thank the lord for the gift of our common home and for all those men and women of good will committed to protecting it. i am likewise grateful for the many projects aimed at promoting the study and the safeguarding of ecosystems, for the efforts being made to develop more sustainable agriculture and more responsible nutrition, and for the various educational, spiritual and liturgical initiatives that involve christians throughout the world in the care of creation. it must be acknowledged that we have not succeeded in responsibly protecting creation. the environmental situation, both on the global level and in many specific places, cannot be considered satisfactory. rightly, there is a growing sense of the need for a renewed and sound relationship between humanity and creation, and the conviction that only an authentic and integral vision of humanity will permit us to take better care of our planet for the benefit of present and future generations. for “there is no ecology without an adequate anthropology” (laudato si’, 118). on this world day of prayer for the care of creation, which the catholic church for several years now has celebrated in union with our orthodox brothers and sisters and with participation of other churches and christian communities, i would like to draw attention to the question of water. it is a very simple and precious element, yet access to it is, sadly, for many people difficult if not impossible. nonetheless, “access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal human right, since it is essential to human survival and, as such, is a condition for the exercise of other human rights. our world owes a great social debt towards the poor who lack access to drinking water, because they are denied the right to a life consistent with their inalienable dignity” (ibid., 30). water invites us to reflect on our origins. the human body is mostly composed of water, and many civilizations throughout history arose near great rivers that marked their identity. in an evocative image, the beginning of the book of genesis states that, in the beginning, the spirit of the creator “swept over the face of the waters (1:2)”. in considering the fundamental role of water in creation and in human development, i feel the need to give thanks to god for “sister water”, simple and useful for life like nothing else on our planet. precisely for this reason, care for water sources and water basins is an urgent imperative. today, more than ever, we need to look beyond immediate concerns (cf. laudato si’, 36) and beyond a purely utilitarian view of reality, “in which efficiency and productivity are entirely geared to our individual benefit” (ibid., 159). we urgently need shared projects and concrete gestures that recognize that every privatization of the natural good of water, at the expense of the human right to have access to this good, is unacceptable. for us christians, water represents an essential element of purification and of life. we think immediately of baptism, the sacrament of our rebirth. water made holy by the spirit is the matter by which god has given us life and renewed us; it is the blessed source of undying life. for christians of different confessions, baptism also represents the real and irreplaceable point of departure for experiencing an ever more authentic fraternity on the way to full unity. jesus, in the course of his mission, promised a water capable of quenching human thirst for ever (cf. jn 4:14). he prophesied, “if any one thirst, let him come to me and drink (jn 7:37). to drink from jesus means to encounter him personally as the lord, drawing from his words the meaning of life. may the words he spoke from the cross   “i thirst” (jn 19:28)   echo constantly in our hearts. the lord continues to ask that his thirst be quenched; he thirsts for love. he asks us to give him to drink in all those who thirst in our own day, and to say to them, “i was thirsty and you gave me to drink” (mt 25:35). to give to drink, in the global village, does not only entail personal gestures of charity, but also concrete choices and a constant commitment to ensure to all the primary good of water. i would like also to mention the issue of the seas and oceans. it is our duty to thank the creator for the impressive and marvellous gift of the great waters and all that they contain (cf. gen 1:20 21; ps 146:6), and to praise him for covering the earth with the oceans (cf. ps 104:6). to ponder the immense open seas and their incessant movement can also represent an opportunity to turn our thoughts to god, who constantly accompanies his creation, guiding its course and sustaining its existence (cf. st. john paul ii, catechesis of 7 may 1986). constant care for this inestimable treasure represents today an ineluctable duty and a genuine challenge. there is need for an effective cooperation between men and women of good will in assisting the ongoing work of the creator. sadly, all too many efforts fail due to the lack of effective regulation and means of control, particularly with regard to the protection of marine areas beyond national confines (cf. laudato si’, 174). we cannot allow our seas and oceans to be littered by endless fields of floating plastic. here too, our active commitment is needed to confront this emergency. we need to pray as if everything depended on god’s providence, and work as if everything depended on us. let us pray that waters may not be a sign of separation between peoples, but of encounter for the human community. let us pray that those who risk their lives at sea in search of a better future may be kept safe. let us ask the lord and all those engaged in the noble service of politics that the more sensitive questions of our day, such as those linked to movements of migration, climate change and the right of everyone to enjoy primary goods, may be faced with generous and farsighted responsibility and in a spirit of cooperation, especially among those countries most able to help. let us pray too, for all those who devote themselves to the apostolate of the sea, for those who help reflect on the issues involving maritime ecosystems, for those who contribute to the development and application of international regulations on the seas in order to safeguard individuals, countries, goods, natural resources   i think, for example, of marine fauna and flora, and coral reefs (cf. ibid., 41) or sea beds   and to guarantee an integral development in view of the common good of the entire human family and not particular interests. let us remember, too, all those who work to protect maritime areas and to safeguard the oceans and their biodiversity, that they may carry out this task with responsibility and integrity. finally, let us be concerned for the younger generation and pray for them, that they may grow in knowledge and respect for our common home and in the desire to care for the essential good of water, for the benefit of all. it is my prayerful hope that christian communities may contribute more and more concretely helping everyone to enjoy this indispensable resource, in respectful care for the gifts received from the creator, and in particular rivers, seas and oceans. from the vatican, 1 september 2018 francis copyright © dicastero per la comunicazione   libreria editrice vaticana

discover the cosmos! each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2018 september 1 explanation: for august 23, 2018, the identification and distribution of aerosols in the earth's atmosphere is shown in this dramatic, planet wide visualization. produced in real time, the goddard earth observing system forward processing (geos fp) model relies on a combination of earth observing satellite and ground based data to calculate the presence of types of aerosols, tiny solid particles and liquid droplets, as they circulate above the entire planet. this august 23rd model shows black carbon particles in red from combustion processes, like smoke from the fires in the united states and canada, spreading across large stretches of north america and africa. sea salt aerosols are in blue, swirling above threatening typhoons near south korea and japan, and the hurricane looming near hawaii. dust shown in purple hues is blowing over african and asian deserts. the location of cities and towns can be found from the concentrations of lights based on satellite image data of the earth at night. authors & editors: robert nemiroff (mtu) & jerry bonnell (umcp) nasa official: phillip newman specific rights apply. nasa web privacy policy and important notices a service of: asd at nasa / gsfc & michigan tech. u.
pay now and get access for a year. this one started with it's a zoo crossing nothing burger, two entries i heard on the same day i started this puzzle. the former was a response to the nyc subways on a particularly bad day and the latter was uttered on cable news at least five times that day, probably by defense lawyers for you know who. i liked contortionist because i had the clue (one who is bent out of shape) in mind for a while. i also really like the clue for centripetal (a force of nature). it seems that many themeless puzzles these days don't favor long words instead of phrases or idioms; some think they're not as interesting. i think it's all about the clues   if they're clever, then the solver will enjoy the entry. midsentence occurred to me because i have the bad habit of interrupting others that way. my daughter has recently made a point of that to me. i was surprised to learn that this is the first time that word was in a times crossword. i'm pleased that this puzzle is mostly junk free in a pretty diagram. after all the puzzles i've constructed over the years, i still get a kick out of a good looking grid with a low word count. the aesthetics of an attractive array of black and white squares is not appreciated by all solvers, but it's a big part of why i like to solve and create themeless puzzles so much. i often tell constructors how important multi word phrases are in themelesses   it was one of rich norris' major points to me, way back when i first started creating them. not only do they tend to be more colorful than single words (which can often come across as workmanlike), but it's a neat challenge trying to figure out where the word breaks ought to be. but as randy points out, contortionist is a strong exception to this rule of thumb. it's not something you hear every day, and what imagery it evokes! plus, that fantastic clue   someone getting bent out of shape indeed. that's the type of wordplay that makes a themeless entry stand out. nothing burger might also be an exception.
