To see gasification proposed as a means to treat biowaste is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time.
The very idea of the process being able to eliminate 90 per cent of sludge's carbon content, and produce an income-generating combustible fuel as a by-product on top of it, is easily worth every nickel of a $100 million price tag – both in the short and long term.
My compliments to the people who were able to come up with and formulate this idea.


The British force at first engaged consisted of two companies of the 49th, who had been ably assisted by Cameron's, Howard's, and Chisholm's companies of the York militia in the early morning attacks. Sheaffe brought to their support 380 of the 41st Foot, Crook's and McEwan's flank companies of the 1st Lincoln, Nelles and W. Crook's companies of the 5th Lincoln, Major Merritt's yeomanry corps, and a party of Swayze's militia artillery. Colonel Clark of the militia came up from Chippawa with Captain Derinzy's and Captain Bullock's companies of the 41st, Captain R. Hamilton and Stone's flank companies of the 2nd Lincoln and volunteer sedentary militia. Norton and Brant did good service with their fifty Mohawks, as did a company of negroes under Captain R. Runchey. The whole force at the close of the day did not exceed 1,000 rank and file, while the British losses amounted to only 16 killed and 69 wounded.
This disastrous repulse checked American activity for a short time, but, on November 28th, General Smyth, who had mobilized a force of 4,500 men at Black Rock, sent two parties of about 400 each to attack the British position between Fort Erie and Chippawa. Small outposts were temporarily overpowered in a confused battle which lasted till night; with morning British reinforcements arrived, the battle was renewed and the invaders were repulsed with much loss. Smyth then sent over a flag of truce, proposing the surrender of Fort Erie. The offer was spurned by Lieut.-Col. Bisshopp, the British commanding officer in this district, and on December 1st, after a vain effort to get his men to cross to the Canadian shore, Smyth broke up his command and sent the regulars into winter-quarters and the militia to their homes.

Province to finance affordable seniors' housing in Burnaby
Burnaby - Rosser Avenue
series of tall buildings in Burnaby, including 1850 Rosser Ave, with a dramatic sunset.
BURNABY - The Province, through BC Housing, is partnering with the Chalmers Foundation to finance a seniors' rental complex in Burnaby, preserving 138 units of affordable rental housing for seniors.
"By helping to finance this building, our government is protecting a valuable affordable housing resource for seniors in Burnaby," said Janet Routledge, MLA for Burnaby North. "This means these homes will not be sold into the private market for redevelopment and high-end rents, which would have put seniors at risk of losing their affordable homes. Our government will continue to look for opportunities like this to make sure housing stays affordable and available."
BC Housing is providing approximately $37.4 million to the Chalmers Foundation to finance the purchase and renovation of the 19-storey Rideau Retirement Residence at 1850 Rosser Ave. in Burnaby.
"The Chalmers Foundation is excited to be offering our unique quality of life to a broader group of seniors, while building on our 50-year history of creating safe and vibrant communities," said Jag Sangha, CEO, the Chalmers Foundation. "As a not-for-profit, Chalmers creates and provides stable and affordable homes for our residents. We are pleased to be partnering with BC Housing and want to thank them for providing financing for this project."
The Chalmers Foundation has assumed ownership and operation of the building. Tenants will not be displaced by the acquisition, and monthly rents will remain the same.
Renovations to the building, including upgrades to the water-treatment system and building envelope, will begin immediately and are expected to be completed by winter 2023.
Funding is being provided through the HousingHub, a BC Housing program that works with communities and non-profit and private-sector developers to increase affordable rental housing and home-ownership options for middle-income British Columbians. It also provides developers with housing expertise and collaboration on projects and helps create housing through new construction or redevelopment.
This project is part of B.C.'s 10-year, $7-billion housing plan. Since 2017, the Province has funded more than 30,000 affordable new homes that have been completed or are underway for people in B.C. This includes approximately 1,700 new affordable homes open or underway in Burnaby.
Once renovations are complete, under the HousingHub program, the Chalmers Foundation will be required to repay the loan, with interest, to the Province.
The funding will then be available for the Province to support additional housing projects.
Tenants living in the Chalmers Lodge seniors' housing building at 1450 West 12th Ave. in Vancouver, which is aging and near the end of its lifespan, will move into vacant units at the Rideau Retirement Residence after the renovations have finished.
The foundation is in the early planning stage for redevelopment of the Chalmers Lodge site, which would take place after all the residents have relocated.


The crypto-markets are abuzz with news of a resurgent Bitcoin (BTC). The King of Crypto made some enormous gains last week that even John McAfee was wondering if this was another Bull run. The past week has been amazing and many crypto-enthusiasts believe this is the beginning of something great with the daily discoveries of more and more institutional investors getting into crypto.
There is the BlackRock investment firm that has declared its interest in blockchain technology as well as cryptocurrencies. There is the Swiss-based SIX stock exchange that plans on launching a fully integrated crypto exchange. Coinbase has also launched the Coinbase Custody service to store the digital assets of institutional investors and high net individuals.
This then brings us to three reasons why you should get some Cardano (ADA) before the institutional investors get wind of the wonderful digital asset.
To begin with, Cardano (ADA) is the cheapest digital asset in the top 10 according to market capitalization. ADA is currently trading at $0.166 at the moment of writing this. One can argue that there are too many ADA coins in circulation. There are currently close to 26 Billion ADA in circulation and a total supply of 31.11 Billion. But this is still less than the circulating supply of XRP (XRP) which stands at 39.3 Billion coins in circulation and another 60 Billion owned by the Ripple company.
This, in turn, means that once the ADA platform has integrated all the planned layers and protocols, the coin has the possibility of eclipsing XRP at an astronomical rate.
Secondly, and as mention, the ADA platform is currently being developed in layers and is the product of some elegant scientific research and work. The first layer of the platform is the settlement layer that is linked to a control layer. The latter is where there are plans for integrating smart contracts. There is also the ongoing decentralization through the Shelley protocol. Cardano is completely open-source like its predecessor, Bitcoin. Think of ADA as an improvement of Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of a cryptocurrency and decentralization. More information about the project's progress can be found on its roadmap page.
The third reason to go hard on Cardano (ADA) is the simple fact that has been highlighted in the title of this piece. The institutional investors are yet to get into crypto 100%. The ones that are already in the industry, are probably more focused on the big five coins of BTC, ETH, LTC, ETC, and BCH. Notice we have not mentioned XRP because it has a lot of pending cases and additional SEC scrutiny. As a matter of fact, ADA could replace XRP as the next digital asset in that list to make it the sixth crypto in the big 6 coins everyone wants to own.
Summing it all up, we are at the cusp of something monumental in the crypto-markets. The last 6 months have thinned the herd in terms of who is still left owning cryptocurrencies. The ones who are left, know that the big money from Wallstreet is coming and it is coming in like a tsunami. Therefore, it is wise to stock up on coins with potential such as ADA.

Main topic: Fundamentals and beginnings
RVR Fotoarchiv, Kollage Autorenteam
Subtopic: Geographical location and development of settlement
The development of the Ruhr has decisively been influenced by the historical development of its settlement, the provision of resources and its good international, interregional and local relations. ?Geographical location and development of settlement?, ?Coal? and ?Iron and Steel? are therefore the main issues of the chapter ?Geographical location and development of settlement?.
The progress of the Ruhr has been made possible by a bundle of varied factors of which the good geographical situation and the physical equipment are the most important ones. Already under the reign of Charles the Great Franconian royal courts have been founded along the eastbound arterial road, the via regia, in the course of the wars against the Saxons. From mid-8th century to c. 890 Duisburg, Recklinghausen, Bochum, Dortmund and other places have been founded. Religious centres were Werden Abbey and the noble collegiate church of Essen.
From the 14th to the 16th century the demand for agricultural products expressed by the northern Hanseatic towns caused the foundation of 16 Hanse towns in the fertile Hellweg Börde. With the Hanse declining, however, the formerly flourishing towns turned into insignificant smallholders? towns. Their hinterlands were reduced to the Bergisch-Märkisch area with its small iron industries. It was not before the 18th century that the establishing of a regular post coach services paved the way to moderate development impulses.
The location at the crossing of European military roads and trading routes influenced the preindustrial development of settlements. This location received new impulses by the classical ?Blue Banana? planning approach (English Midlands ? London ? Netherlands ? Rhine valley - Northern Italy) as well as by the ?Yellow Banana? that has been outlined as a West-East axis after the late 1980s opening of Eastern Europe. Both these spatial orientations give growth impulses for trade and traffic in the Ruhr, particularly in the field of logistics.
Subtopic: Coal, Iron and Steel
Favourable location factors, the historical development of settlement and particularly England?s technological development (industrialisation: steam engine, iron melting, capital investment) laid the foundations of the industrial boost of the Ruhr. Locally, a preferred site ?on the coal?, the proximity to iron ore and/or a location close to the river Ruhr were favourable factors of the early 19th century industrialisation. These factors also guaranteed the rapid progress of industrialisation so that the Ruhr became ?Europe?s industrial heart?.
Of remarkable importance were the coal measures that crop out in the south but dive down to more than 1000 metres in the north. It was not before the conveying technology had developed (shaft mining, controlled raising of water etc) that deeper and more valuable coal seams could be tapped. Both the chemical industry (coal by-products) and the coke-based production of steel took the profits. The carboniferous geology caused the northward movement of coal mining that was followed by the development of settlement. Adjusted to the geological conditions the coal mines also spreading over the boggy areas of the Emscher valley that had deterred any preindustrial settlement and were still affected by annual flooding and epidemic diseases. Settlements for thousands of miners grouped around the mines.
Unlike the resource-orientated coal mining, the iron and steel industry was labour-oriented and preferred sites around the existing cities.
In this chapter the early times of iron smelting and the pre-industrial phases of pig iron production are outlined as well as the differences between iron and steel, the various steel qualities and alloys, various steel producing processes and the use of steel. Based on the deep-lying seams of rich and gas coals, coke caused the coking-plant technologies since mid-19th century and thereby the regional boom of the coal and steel industries.
Subtopic: Borderlines and administrative boundaries
The Ruhr is a region that came into being by the locational needs of the heavy industries. To the north and the south its boundaries are defined by the extension of the coal measures and by the water streams/canals as well as by the areas used for potable and industrial water supply. To the west the coal measures and thus the boundary crosses the river Rhine. From the west to the east the region extends over 120 kms, the north-south extension is more than 70 kms.
The Ruhr area is not a natural landscape nor is it a regional entity grown over centuries. Industrialisation has been superimposed on historical regions that are reflected today by the Landschaftsverbände of Westphalia and the Rhineland. For decades political decisions have successfully prevented the comprehensive administrative unit ?Region Ruhr? to come into existence. To the contrary, the region is rather intersected by the boundaries of three regional administrative bodies (Regierungsbezirke) that heteronomously influence the Ruhr from Düsseldorf, Arnsberg and Münster.
Whereas the political entity has been prevented from outside, the regional polycentric structure is connected by a variety of intraregional interrelations. Most of the settlement nuclei had a rapid start, achieved charters and very often grew explosively. But despite of various mergers of local authorities, e.g. the mid-1970s administrative restructuring, many of these units were hardly able properly to provide urban functions or to act as central places ? they were too large to be a village but too small to be a city, an area of 1000 industrial villages came into being. This structure may have fuelled the still existing local egoisms (parish pump politics) and the lasting competition for inhabitants, companies and urban functions.
Today the Ruhr area includes 12 cities in the core and four fringe districts each of them comprising some smaller cities. In the given interwoven urban fabric the borders between the various local units can often only be recognized by the place name signs. The separating functions of the regional green belts that had been laid out in 1920 by the former ?Siedlungsverband? could only be retained in parts. Very often these free spaces have be welcomed to lay out new railway tracks, motorways and high voltage lines and to develop leisure centres, housing quarters and university sites.

NEW DIGITAL EXPORT SERVICE TO HELP FIRMS
A new service has been unveiled to help more UK businesses break onto overseas markets.
It claims to give UK businesses secure preferential deals through the Department for International Trade to help them start exporting and provide a new searchable export directory to match businesses according to the worldwide demand for different UK goods and services
The launch of the trade hub for businesses (go to www.GREAT.gov.uk) will help them access millions of pounds' worth of potential overseas business, give practical advice, and signpost support to help them win lucrative contracts.
The site will act as a single digital destination for trade and investment, bringing together and connecting UK businesses, international buyers and international investors.
Whether businesses are new, occasional or frequent exporters, they will be able to take advantage of the new suite of tools and exclusive deals on fees or commissions with some of world's leading online marketplaces.
By registering, businesses will become part of a brand new searchable directory of UK exporters which government will use to match their products and services with worldwide demand.
Currently only around 11 per cent of registered British businesses currently export.
Of the 2.5 million businesses registered in the UK, an estimated 360,000 who have an exportable product or service mistakenly believe there isn't a global demand for it.
The government's existing E-exporting programme has assisted over 3,000 companies to become exporters and has delivered export deals totalling £388 million since 2014.
The new digital trade hub is part of a push to help a further 100,000 more UK businesses export by 2020. Through e-exporting alone government intends to deliver an additional 20,000 online exporters and £2 billion worth of value to the UK economy by 2020.
Internationally, the GREAT.gov.uk platform will include in-language information on why and how to invest into the UK, and from next year will host searchable opportunities from every region, with more to follow.
There are four pages for priority markets – India, China, Germany and the US, the world's largest markets – have been launched and have dedicated translated/transliterated content to showcase UK investment opportunities
The Department for Internal Trade has agreements with the five major banks – Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, RBS and Santander – and the 4 big consultancies – EY, KPMG, Deloitte, and PWC – to be GREAT partners and help potential exporters make the most of the opportunities.

The National Weather had issued a severe thunderstorm watch Tuesday evening for most of lower Michigan until 10 p.m. That watch was replaced by a hazardous weather outlook at 9:32 p.m. that indicated a lingering chance of thunderstorms, "but any new development will not be severe," the weather service said.
The storms are a result of a low-pressure system moving through the Great Lakes region, she said.
Thunderstorms are expected to come in from the southwest and move northeast. Things should clear up by 10 p.m., Schultz said.
The storms are expected to produce heavy rainfall and wind gusts of up to 60 mph.
The high temperature Tuesday was 83 at 2:31 p.m.; the low was expected to be 64 degrees. Average temperature for the day is 74.

Manipulated photographs. An idea as old as the discovery of photography's impact on truth. The reasons for manipulating are many. To hide or improve the truth. To flatter or ridicule. To clarify. To erase borders and create illusions. Choosing photography as the medium suggests that the message has a relation to reality. Documentary photography purists have major problems in interpreting manipulated photographs. The manipulated pictures contradict the reality in photographs, and have therefore been avoided. Manipulated photographs have been referred to as being part of the free arts in terms of experimental photography and photo-based art. But from a scientific point of view, there is a particular interest in photographs that have undergone some sort of processing, regardless of written comments or deleted details. A postcard from the turn of the century becomes more interesting with a message on the back. When a totalitarian regime manipulate official documents by erasing comrades who have fallen into disfavor, the images become documents that in a subtle way uncover what should not be told…//…From a purely documentary point of view, these manipulated photographs contain more information about the circumstances of the image than if the photograph was ever so beautifully printed and free of defects. At least as long as the viewer knows that the image is or may be manipulated. This is also the basic idea behind these pictures, providing more information than just a classic straight portrait is capable of. This is a non-forgiving way of working and the pictures reveal the cartoonist's unprocessed true handicraft in drawing. The method lacks the possibility to erase, there is no backstroke. The etched line, directly engraved in the negative, is irreversible. The knowledge that the image is going to be manipulated also creates pressure on me as a photographer. It requires me to deliver a foundation that is possible to further develop in a situation where one usually strives for an as compressed and complete expression as possible. Here somewhere the boundaries between the disciplines are blurred and the cooperation results in an image where both working methods and ideas merge.

The trip to Retrograd …On February 8, 2008, Polaroid Company announced its intention to immediately end the production of instant film. The inventor and genius Edwin Herbert Land, born 1909 and holder of about 500 patents for rapid development chemistry, died in 1991 and didn't live to see the end of the Polaroid era, which was inevitable; Structural changes in the photo industry can not be slowed down. Almost all photo shops are closed. Digital photography has taken over not only movie recordings but all of the industry…//…My old polaroid cameras, with which I produced huge amounts of toxic garbage, can "be used only as book support", I read in an article. No, they do not even do that; they are too light. But … there is a resistance movement. Sometimes it is called "Polanoir", sometimes "Save Polaroid, Save the World". And there are photographers who want to return to the past, who sees an aesthetic value in one of Polaroid's most odd products: the 4×5 sheet film that gives both a positive image and a real negative. I myself have experimented with this. In the early 1970s I had an old large-format camera with polaroid back. I took some self-portrait but found the technique too impractical. Now I have encountered a few individuals drawn to this impractical medium…//…Christer has photographed cartoonists, a lot of them, and then let them scratch with sharp objects in the wet negatives to complement the portrayal with personal additions. The result is striking and the whole idea is unmatchedly clever. For example, Nina Hemmingsson has used the negative and the positive in a telling way. If you remove the emulsion it will be black, and white if you cover a surface. Her comic characters have those empty eyes and often reside around thorny trees…//…Christer's trip to retrograd is lovely! fatal! Refreshing! Modernity is nothing to strive for, if you thought so.

10/23/05 – Halloween is just around the corner, and Sawbill prepared for the annual celebration of witches and warlocks by carving pumpkins and consuming copious amounts of food and drink.
Every year over Minnesota's teacher's holiday long weekend, a group of Sawbillians, past and present, gather to celebrate the end of another season. Carving pumpkins is the cornerstone of this fun-filled weekend and each year people spend hours planning their designs, selecting their pumpkins, and carving them into a wide range of things. This year's creations ranged from a pumpkin carved into a pumpkin, Bob Marley, a University of Minnesota "M", Discoman, Fennel the sled dog, several cats, a sailing ship, a stand of trees, a sunflower, and a man standing on a giant wave. Below are a few photos of last nights fun, and the pumpkins that were created.
We would like to introduce Sawbill's Halloween 2005 pumpkin corps.
Tess and Kirk Dornfeld carved a beautiful cat, and a majestic set of pine trees.
Cindy, Dan, and Shannon could barely carve their pumpkins because they were laughing so hard.

Bleed for the Throne
Paves Way For Experiential Marketing
SXSW has come and gone from Austin, TX once again, where hundreds of thousands of people flocked from around the world to attend the music, film, professional conferences, and interactive festival. What began as a showcase event for artists, brands and companies to network and present their work, has evolved into a headlining event that features up-and-coming band performances, film presentations, new technology and a panel for industry experts to speak about changing trends.
One trend that emerged at SXSW this year was immersive experiences. Entertainment companies, such as HBO, took advantage of this marketing tactic by putting together one-of-a-kind storytelling experience for fans to participate in. This year, HBO partnered with the American Red Cross to create a simulation for Game of Thrones fans that combines experiential marketing with contributing towards a noble cause.
Appropriately named, Bleed for the Throne, was an organized blood drive that offered a unique way to implement a creative strategy that built anticipation and hype for the upcoming release of the show's final season in April. It also gave people a reason to donate something more valuable than money and time -- their blood. In exchange for participation, people received an array of gifts, ranging from customized t-shirts, top secret information about character storylines and the chance to win exclusive grand prizes.
Experiential marketing has paved a way for brands to bring unique storytelling events to life for people to experience. If companies like HBO are having so much success, then why are other companies not investing more money towards this type of marketing? Over the past decade, many marketers have argued that experiential marketing is too costly and has uncertain return on investments. However, the market has changed and consumers want more experiences. According to EventTrack, a marketing news group, their forecast estimates "91% of consumers had positive feelings about brands after attending events events and experiences….and 85% of consumers indicated they would be more likely to purchase after participating in events and experiences." Their statistics highlight a 36% increase in demand from 2017. The Association of National Advertisers recently released their annual forecast that indicates the experiential marketing industry is expected to grow to $1 trillion by the end of 2019. Their data suggests that there is a significant shift in marketing trends towards experiential events.
SXSW is a perfect place to implement such activations for a brand, which HBO was quick to capitalize on. Will more brands follow suit and tap into an unsaturated market, or will they play it safe and stick to what they know works? It may be too soon to answer, but if done correctly, there is an emerging market for brands to engage with consumers in a more effective and creative way.

"I was introduced to Aimee's healing paintings and the weekly cards last year at an event in Maui. I enrolled both myself and my daughter in the program.
My daughter is a full time student attending a university several thousand miles away from home. It was not only a great surprise for her, but it has had a transformational effect on her experience there. She enjoys abundant success and joy continually and we love sharing our thoughts about them with each other. It has brought us even closer as father and daughter.
I have found these cards and the thought provoking messages Aimee includes in each to be timely reminders that have helped me remain clear, calm, and joyful while also helping me accomplish more than I ever thought possible in virtually all areas of my life. Sometimes, within minutes of reading the card, I experience a miracle.
One day, for instance, having struggled for months with a sticky and difficult business situation, I was actually reading the card and thinking about how it applied to this unfortunate situation. Before I was even done, the phone rang, and the issue was resolved. Coincidence? I was there, I think not!
I have saved them all, and have adorned one of the walls of my office with the fantastic illustrations Aimee has shared with us.

N++ proves you can have too much of a good thing
Like a lot of games, N++ has a profile screen in its option menu. It details a number of the player's statistics—time played, amount of deaths, etc. Instead of a typical completion percentage, though, it displays an absurd number. Despite the fact that I haven't yet finished all of the game's more than 2,000 stages, my number is somewhere around 3,000 percent. It's a cute joke, but it points to a fundamental reality of Metanet Software's newest: This is as much a game as it is a conduit. With stage-creation tools and extensive cooperative multiplayer—did I mention it has more than 2,000 core stages?—N++ is a seemingly infinite roadmap designed to deliver as many running and jumping crucibles as players can handle. It's a refined creation, but it's also more than a little intimidating.
In N++, the supposed final game in the N series of ultra-hard platformers, you play as a tiny wireframe ninja. Due to whatever cosmic punishment that wireframe ninjas incur, you spend your days racing against the clock in a series of challenge rooms, each with a switch and a door. Hit the switch, get through the door, go to the next stage. You've got a full repertoire of ninja abilities: run, jump, slide, slide jump, jump slide, and that classic Ninja Gaiden-style wall jump. And you'll need them. Each stage is a crucible, a tightly crafted challenge whose small size belies the regularly intense challenge. You can easily spend 30, 40, or 100 attempts on a single stage, trying to collect all the time-extending gold without getting killed by the various mines, robots, and shadow ninjas out for your head.
All of this brutality is presented in a slick, modernist style full of clean lines and solid colors. From a distance, each stage looks like a piece of abstract graphic design, as if someone had taken the work from one of the master designers in the Helvetica documentary and filled it with death traps. It lends a layer of aesthetic sheen to the stripped-down immediacy of its platforming challenges. Along with responsive controls and smart level design—both of which have been refined through the series' evolution from Flash game to featured PlayStation 4 release—N++ feels fundamentally good to play.
The sheer scale of it all is a bit overwhelming, though. With promised future downloadable expansions and the aforementioned staggering number of stages—growing by the day thanks to a community of talented players making custom courses and sharing them online—N++ appears infinite. Every stage that's completed after a long struggle is met with satisfaction and an enthusiastic invitation to keep plowing ahead. "There's so much more for you to try!" N++ says.
"But I'm tired," I reply. "That stage took me an hour!"
"But we made this for you!" N++ shouts back.
The scope and purity of N++ is praiseworthy, but extended play sessions are an exhausting blur. As inventive as they are, the little stages run together, especially because there are so many of them. The repetition starts to show weaknesses in the design, too. The gold you have to collect is sometimes just scattered in big clouds, forcing repeated clumsy jumps that go against the speed and efficiency the rest of the game encourages. And certain design conceits, such as having to spring a trap on yourself to get at those last bits of gold, are woefully overused.
Maybe N++ needs to be consumed in short jaunts—pop in for a quick platforming fix and hop out when your eyes start to bleed. The core of it, after all, is trimmed to near perfection. Its sprawl, though, invites long play sessions and the short individual stages fuel a dangerous "just one more, just one more" fervor. A quick jaunt can easily turn into twitchy marathon, and before you know it, you're anxious and grimy and feeling like you woke up somewhere disconcerting after a long bender. Looking at the progress page after a session, that silly 3,000 percent completion number feels less like a friendly joke and more like a snarky challenge: "How much can you handle?" N++ seems to be asking. It might not be a challenge you want to meet.

If you are in doubt about whether rowing will be an effective exercise, worry no more. It is a workout that has proven to be effective time and again. It's no wonder that is has gained popularity and exposure in recent times as fitness enthusiasts (re)discover this awesome workout machine. Not only is it great for cardio, it is also great for building and toning your muscles, and to make it even better, it is easy on your joints so almost anyone can do it. Let's talk about the impact that rowing will have on your muscles and what makes it suitable for just about anyone who wants to exercise.
Before I started rowing I was like many people who believe rowing works only your arms and legs but, as you will see, this is not true. Rowing engages and works all 9 major muscle groups in the body: back, biceps, quads, shoulders, triceps, lats, core and glutes. Both your upper and lower body will get a good workout. I'd say very few workout machines can give you the type of full-body workout that you will get from rowing.
Some people think you don't work your core very much when you row, but if you keep good form your core should always be engaged. However it is true that the ab muscles don't work as hard as the other muscles engaged in rowing. The muscles in your shoulders, arms and legs do most of the work. As you row, the muscles in your shoulders and your back are actively involved and so they will get an excellent workout. Your leg muscles and glutes will also get a very thorough workout.
All you have to do is look at the body of professional rowers to know that rowing can build muscle. Rowers typically have the coveted 'V' shape body that athletes strive for. As all your major muscle groups are engaged when you row, they become developed with regular rowing workouts.
Don't get me wrong, you won't get those types of results by rowing every now and then. Rowing is not as effective at muscle building as exercises like the ones you would do with dumbbells and barbells; it would take a regular rowing routine, several times a week for a prolonged period of time for you to get similar results. You would almost have to train as if you were getting ready for the Olympics to get the body of a professional rower. Olympic rowers train 7 days a week and row about a total of 250 kilometers at high intensity.
Having said that, a moderate rowing routine is sure to get you in good shape and give your muscles noticeable tone. If you are just starting to take up rowing, you will want to start off at a slow pace so that your body can get used to the workouts. Ideally you should start with about 2 kilometers and work your way up slowly. During this time I would suggest that you also work on perfecting your form, as having the proper form when you are working out will keep you from being injured. For more information about proper rowing form see my article here.
The fact that rowing is a low-impact exercise means that it is suitable for people who have mobility issues, those recovering from injuries, or the elderly. Perfectly healthy people also benefit from rowing, and professional athletes can row at the higher levels of resistance for a challenging workout. Rowing is an exercise that most people will be able to do.
I have a knee injury and I am not able to do weight bearing workouts like using the treadmill, so rowing is perfect for me. Not only is rowing easy on the joints while you are working out, but because rowing machines are so close to the ground there is little risk of falling off and getting hurt as well.
Rowing is an excellent way to work out out your upper and lower body. You will be able to build and tone your muscles even if rowing is the only type of exercise that you do. If you are serious about using rowing to build your muscles, I would advise making a workout plan and stick to it for best results. For help with making your own personal rowing workout plan please see my article here.
As rowing does not put much stress on your joints, almost anyone will be able to use it to achieve their fitness goals. If you want to build your muscles there are more effective methods. but many of them cannot be used by the wide range of people who can use a rower. Rowing will certainly be able to help you build muscle and get in good shape.

American Airlines Says Slumping Economy Is Taking Toll on International Air Travel

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Less than two months after American Airlines said the U.S. economic slowdown hadn't spread globally, the picture has changed.
