Time to find out what you're made of.
Tanita monitors bring you fast, accurate body composition results using the latest advanced bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology first developed by Tanita in 1992. This gives you a true indicator of your inner health and, when monitored over time, can show the impact of any fitness regime or weight loss program.
So find out exactly what you are made of, set your goals and use Tanita to help you achieve your optimal fitness level and improve your health and wellbeing.
Body fat is essential for maintaining body temperature, cushioning joints and protecting internal organs.
The energy, or calories, our body needs comes from what we eat and drink. Energy is burned through physical activity and general bodily functions. If you consume the same number of calories as you burn, all the calories are converted into energy. But if you consume more than you burn, excess calories are stored in fat cells. If this stored fat is not converted into energy later, it creates excess body fat.
Too much fat can damage your long-term health. Reducing excess levels of body fat has been shown to directly reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.
Too little body fat may lead to osteoporosis in later years, irregular periods in women and possible infertility.
It is important to check your body fat results against the Tanita healthy body fat ranges. These measurements are available for everyone from age five to 99 years.
Even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to shift to the abdominal area. Ensuring you have a healthy level of visceral fat directly reduces the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure and may delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
The predicted weight of muscle in your body.
As your muscle mass increases, the rate at which you burn energy (calories) increases which accelerates your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and helps you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way.
If you are exercising hard your muscle mass will increase and may increase your total body weight too. That's why it's important to monitor your measurements regularly to see the impact of your training program on your muscle mass.
Indicates the condition (quality) of muscle, which changes according to factors like age and exercise level. The muscle of young people or those who exercise regularly is normally in a good state, but the state of muscle deteriorates in elderly people or those who not have enough exercise. Both Quantity and Quality are important for a healthy muscle! Please make sure you maintain a good balance between muscle mass and quality.
Water is an essential part of staying healthy. Over half the body consists of water. It regulates body temperature and helps eliminate waste. You lose water continuously through urine, sweat and breathing, so it's important to keep replacing it.
The amount of fluid needed every day varies from person to person and is affected by climatic conditions and how much physical activity you undertake. Being well hydrated helps concentration levels, sports performance and general wellbeing.
Experts recommend that you should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day, preferably water or other low calorie drinks. If you are training, it's important to increase your fluid intake to ensure peak performance at all times.
The predicted weight of bone mineral in your body.
While your bone mass is unlikely to undergo noticeable changes in the short term, it's important to maintain healthy bones by having a balanced diet rich in calcium and by doing plenty of weight-bearing exercise.
You should track your bone mass over time and look for any long term changes.
As your activity level changes the balance of body fat and muscle mass will gradually alter, which in turn will affect your overall physique.
Increasing muscle mass will speed up your basal metabolic rate (BMR). A person with a high BMR burns more calories at rest than a person with a low BMR.
About 70% of calories consumed every day are used for your basal metabolism. Increasing your muscle mass helps raise your BMR, which increases the number of calories you burn and helps to decrease body fat levels.
Your BMR measurement can be used as a minimum baseline for a diet program. Additional calories can be included depending on your activity level. The more active you are the more calories you burn and the more muscle you build, so you need to ensure you consume enough calories to keep your body fit and healthy.
As people age their metabolic rate changes. Basal metabolism rises as a child matures and peaks at around 16 or 17, after which point it typically starts to decrease. A slow BMR will make it harder to lose body fat and overall weight.
Daily Calorie Intake (DCI) is the sum of calories for basal metabolism (BMR), daily activity metabolism (activities including daily household chores), and diet-induced thermogenesis (energy used in connection with digestion, absorption, metabolism, and other eating activities). Use this as a guideline in your daily meal planning. Consuming fewer calories that your predicted DCI value will help you lose weight, be sure to maintain good physical activity so you don't lose muscle mass.
Compares your BMR to an average for your age group.
Muscle mass rating for five body segments: the core abdominal area, arms and legs.
Monitoring the muscle mass of each of your arms and legs and core abdominal area will help you see and understand the impact of your training program over time. You can also use this information to correct muscle imbalances and avoid injury.
Body fat percentages for five body segments: the core abdominal area and each arm and leg.
Monitoring the body fat percentage of each of your arms and legs and core abdominal area will help you see and understand the impact of your training program over time.
Your BMI can be calculated by dividing your weight (in kilograms) by the square of your height (in meters).
BMI is a good general indicator for population studies but has serious limitation when assessing on an individual level.
The ratio of the muscle in your arms and legs to your height.
As we age we lose muscle mass. This can lead to a condition known as sarcopenia. In older people this has substantial tolls in terms of morbidity, disability, and increased costs of health care. A SMI value of 7.23 or higher is desired for men, and 5.67 is desired for women. Maintaining an active lifestyle along with specialized dietary strategies may prevent or delay the onset of this condition.
The ratio of muscle mass in your legs to your total body weight.
A score is given for your physical condition, and plotted against average healthy values for gender and age. The score is based on your leg muscle mass divided by your body weight. A healthy 20-25 year old should achieve a score of 100. Refer to the chart to analyze your score. Maintaining an active lifestyle along with healthy dietary habits will improve your score.

Golfer Darren Clarke has struck up a close friendship with a family friend following the death of his wife from cancer, it has been reported.
The Ryder Cup star has been spending time with Nicola Regan, a divorced mother-of-six, The News of the World said.
Clarke told the newspaper Ms Regan had been a family friend for more than two years, and was "one of many people who helped me through the dark days after Heather's passing".
He said she had continued to "be a shoulder to lean on" and had been "particularly kind and generous" to his two sons, who are friends with her children.
Clarke told the News of the World that the pair had realised a few weeks ago that their friendship was growing close, and was continuing to do so.
"We have no idea what the future holds for us because ours is a developing relationship. But we enjoy one another's company and are happy to see where it takes us," he said.
The golfer said he was aware that some people might think the relationship was forming "too soon" after his wife's death.
But he added there was no "right or wrong" in these circumstances, and it did not diminish the love he had shared with his wife.
Heather died at London's London's Royal Marsden Hospital in August after a long battle with cancer. Less than two months later, Ulsterman Clarke helped Europe to victory over America in the Ryder Cup, spurred on by his wife who had encouraged him to play as often as possible throughout her illness.
In emotional scenes broadcast around the world, Clarke broke down in tears at the conclusion of the golf tournament in Ireland in September.

Medic Ambulance boss in Vallejo: Before it's too late, don't hesitate
Pierson: People fear calling '911'
More people are dying at home from heart attacks because they're afraid of contracting COVID-19 or believe hospitals are at capaciy, said the president of Medic Ambulance. (Courtesy photo)
By Richard Freedman | Vallejo Times Herald
PUBLISHED: April 25, 2020 at 2:34 p.m. | UPDATED: April 25, 2020 at 2:34 p.m.
Emergency calls are down significantly and it's killing people, according to a veteran paramedic.
"I feel like people are waiting to call '911' because they're scared of going to the hospital" because of COVID-19, said Jimmy Pierson, president of Medic Ambulance in Vallejo and a 15-year paramedic.
Because people are hesitant, there's been a spike in cardiac arrest deaths at home, Pierson said.
A survey of nine major hospitals earlier this month — reported in the Journal of American College of Cardiology — showed the number of severe heart attacks being treated in U.S hospitals had dropped by nearly 40 percent since COVID-19 took hold in March. Doctors believe that patients are so afraid to enter hospitals that they are dying at home or waiting so long to seek care that they're going to suffer massive damage to their hearts or brains.

"We're seeing it locally and across the nation," Pierson said by phone Friday. "People are dying in the home. Some of the data I've seen is alarming."
Those suffering symptoms of a cardiac arrest, stroke or other serious ailments shouldn't be fearful of catching coronavirus en route to the hospital, Pierson said.
"This is the cleanest ambulances and fire trucks have ever been and most trained the employees have ever been. If you're sick, don't wait until it's too late," said Pierson, adding that calls to Medic Ambulance are down 20 to 30 percent the last two months.
There's a misconception that every hospital in the nation is maxed out. Not so, Pierson said.
"Most hospitals are not bursting at the seams; some are 50 to 60 percent capacity. There's a lot of extra spaces," he said.
Many people are self-diagnosing, Pierson said, adding that even if it's a borderline case, call 911.
"If we don't think you should" rush to the ER, "we'll tell you," Pierson said. "People may feel something in their chest or their lungs they've never felt before, but they don't want to go to the hospital because they feel the virus is sitting there in the hospital. This is the cleanest time to use the 911 system."
Pierson said ambulances are electrostatic sprayed and deep-cleaned.
"We're making sure ambulances are 'double-disinfected," Pierson said.
Though Medic Ambulance has been summoned to fewer of the usual in-town traffic calls, there have been more high-speed accidents, Pierson said, with California Highway Patrol statistics concurring.
During the last full week of March, the number of speeding citations issued to drivers traveling under 100 mph dropped nearly 60 percent statewide as compared to the same time frame last year. However, the number of citations for exceeding 100 mph jumped nearly 30 percent during the same period.

HomeCryptoGeothermal Powerhouse Iceland Struggles With Lack of Electricity
Geothermal Powerhouse Iceland Struggles With Lack of Electricity
All power generated has been fully utilized amid high demand - Winter's power crunch happened after summer droughts
April 10, 2022 Stu Turley Crypto, Electrical Generation, Geothermal, Hydro Electric, International News, Renewables
Isolated from any other country's power networks, Iceland has this winter faced a new predicament: running out of electricity.
Sitting in the Atlantic Ocean, 850 kilometers (530 miles) from the Scottish coast, the country had to be self-sufficient in electricity generation, and power was always so plentiful that a large aluminum-smelting industry emerged half a century ago to churn wealth for Icelanders, who until then had relied on fishing for their livelihoods.
Located between two tectonic plates, the land of glaciers, highlands and ample rainfall is fueled by geothermal power and hydro generation. Iceland has even considered exporting electricity, but never undertook the investment to connect to any other countries' grids on economic grounds.
But this winter, rising demand from an electrifying society and power-hungry industries combined with low reservoir levels after summer droughts meant the country spent four months curtailing power to certain industries, including fish-meal factories and district heating plants in some remote areas.
While the restrictions have for the most part ended after recent rains, Iceland is taking in the lessons.
The need to increase generation capacity "is quite urgent," Hordur Arnarson, chief executive officer of national power company Landsvirkjun HF, said in an interview. Still, there's no quick respite in sight, as it will take at least four years to bring new generation capacity — up to 300 megawatts — online, he said.
The world's biggest power producer relative to the size of its population, Iceland sells almost 80% of the electricity generated in the country to its heavy industry — the bulk of that made up by aluminum smelters belonging to Rio Tinto Plc, Century Aluminum Co. and Alcoa Corp.
When power has been scarce, the smelters continued to be served by their long-term contracts. In contrast, fish-meal factories in the east of the country have been running on oil, because there was no electricity to power them, and heat for some homes had to be generated with crude over the winter.
"It's crazy that people in the Westfjords need to heat their houses with oil when electricity supply goes down," Audur Onnu Magnusdottir, general manager of environmental association Landvernd, said in an interview. "The big international companies are prioritized. This shows how flawed our priorities are."
What she wants to see going forward is more focus on where energy is spent and reducing consumption.
"We cannot be pressured by polluters of the world to sacrifice our nature," Magnusdottir said, referring to plans to increase land use on power production, even for renewable energy.
The power crunch has also meant lost opportunities to diversify the economy, said Sigurdur Hannesson, managing director of the Federation of Icelandic Industries. Several green projects were pulled because companies couldn't get power contracts, he said in an interview, adding that algae-based foods and battery production are among industries that could be built if electricity could be secured.
The government is taking a middle road as it weighs new power projects. Key considerations include ensuring the public benefits from private profits in energy generation, and what power will be used for, Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir said in an interview.
"The domestic energy transition should be prioritized over the extensive export of energy," she said. "Those of us who want to protect nature a lot, like myself, and those who are more pro harvesting, all need to look at the overall interest."

You're part of this
Trevor Davies is optimistic that the Monmouth community will show up to make a collective investment that will pay dividends for generations to come.
When Trevor Davies and his business partner first decided to build a new funeral home in Monmouth, they hoped the community would be receptive. Today, Davies can say with certainty that his hometown is the type of place where good ideas that serve local needs will find the support to flourish.
"That's one thing about Monmouth—the community will embrace you," said Davies, the fourth generation in his family to own and operate a business in the city. "If people see that you're trying to invest in the community, they'll support you."
Now, as Davies and a small group of his fellow community members come together to spearhead the Monmouth Community Fund through Galesburg Community Foundation, he is confident that the wider community will see the value of this new initiative, which could represent a momentous investment in Monmouth, and get behind it with full force.
The advisory board's first major goal will be to raise $70,000, unlocking a match grant of an additional $70,000 through the Warren County Community Fund Initiative, a partnership among the Twomey Foundation, United Way of Greater Warren County, and Galesburg Community Foundation. Once the fund is established, it will begin making grants to the community's nonprofits, schools, churches, and municipal agencies, with more resources available each year as the endowed fund grows through additional gifts, investment earnings, and compound interest. The new fund is a way for Monmouth residents—and those who love Monmouth—to keep their wealth in the community and support it forever.
"People in this community are very generous and giving," said Davies, who has served in leadership roles at several local institutions, including United Way, Community National Bank, and the Warren County Prime Beef Festival. "I think this goal is obtainable. I believe we can even go past it."
"It's been so rewarding to see Community Funds in Alexis, Roseville, and other communities across Knox and Warren Counties reach their match goals and begin granting in ways that are making tangible impacts," said Joshua Gibb, president and CEO of the Community Foundation, which will administer the fund while leaving all of its grantmaking decisions to the advisory board and the Monmouth community. "We're proud to play this role in bringing communities like Monmouth together around their passion for the place they live and the hopes they hold for its future."
"I jumped right on board with this idea because I want to keep finding ways of making Monmouth a better place to live for generations to come," said Davies, who with his wife, Edith, has two young sons. "With this fund, we're going to be able to provide opportunities not just for the here-and-now—it's for the perpetual longevity of our community."
Davies has been excited by the developments he's seen in Monmouth in the nearly 15 years since he returned from mortuary school in Chicago, from the community's growing cultural diversity to its pop-up shops and new housing subdivisions. "With Monmouth's values and everything it has to offer, this is small-town living at its best," he said, adding that more and more people he grew up with who moved away are coming back to raise their families here. "We can keep this momentum going."
As Davies and his fellow advisory board members begin to spread the word about the fund and its match challenge goal, he hopes one message will out ring loud and clear: "This is truly a community fund. Whether you can give $5 or $5,000, you're part of this," said Davies. "This is a way that anyone can contribute to the community, and we can all work together for the common good."
"I hope people realize the true benefit that this could provide for our community," he added. "It's not just another fundraiser—this is about our legacy."
The Monmouth Community Fund is a fund of the Galesburg Community Foundation. Donate to the Monmouth Community Fund here.

The Cove Movie
BACKGROUND The Cove is a fashion documentary produced in 2009. The director Louie Psihoyos does the vital work of increasing the concerns of people with bringing awareness to underwater life- the film exposes there is a number of dolphins being killed in the cove in Japan in a year. SYNOPSIS Dolphins are valuable assets in the world and everyone promises to protect them. We all agree that dolphin should only be watched.As with most films of this type, the statistics are surprising us: The movie revealed that there are 23,000 dolphins are legally killed for meat every year by 26 fishermen in Taiji. Most of the people in the town have nothing to do with the hunts. Nor do the Japanese people as a whole, many of whom have never even heard of the hunts.…show more content…
Moreover, It is an informative movie too.The film did a great job of illuminating the cost of buying this dolphins'meat. Out of my surprise,the meat has proven to be highly contaminated with toxic chemicals such as mercury in the movie. I firmly believe the number of whale meat consumers will decrease after the movie was released.More people will recognize and promote the importance of protecting dolphins . The cove is, without doubt, the most entertaining movie I have seen this year. It inspires us to protect the dolphins .It is expected that after watching this movie,people will be more conscious that dolphins need our help and will not buy dolphins products.The Japanese should set Richard as their example---be brave to tell the truth.On the whole,the movie is a must-watch for all documentary and I recommend it to all of

Besides a system of diseases, Linnaeus also set up a catalogue of the properties of medicines. He divided medicines by taste (tasteless, sharp, bitter) and by smell (pleasant and strong). He maintained that the former affect the fibrous system, whereas those that smell, that is, aromatic substances, have an impact on the nervous system.
Clavis Medicinæ is a book on systematizing medicine and is regarded as perhaps the most influential of Linnaeus' writings in the field of medicine.
Substances are divided into classes and orders, and within each order compounds are collected primarily from the plant kingdom. This is accounted for by the candidate J. T. Fagraeus in the 1758 dissertation "Strong-smelling Medicines." The publication Materia medica (1733) and the dissertation "Observations in Materia medica" (1772) provide an inventory of plants that are used for medicinal purposes. The compilation takes up facts about their use and effects. The information had been gathered from a number of countries outside of Europe. The plants are given with their genus and their trivial names.

Tracklaying had progressed from Mountain Junction to the mouth of the canyon by late September of 1892. All the ties, stringers and rails required for the final mile of the Rubio Canyon section had been hauled up to the site of the first bridge, and deposited in huge piles. Once the grading was accomplished and the foundation installed for a bridge, the laying of timber was a simple matter and required only a few days by a crew of four men. As each trestle was built, it was planked over so that a team of horses could pull the construction gondola to the site of the next one. In all, nine bridges plus the Incline loading platform were required in the final 5,000 feet. The first of these, a small structure spanning a deep ravine, was named "Las Flores Bridge." Difficult construction work and the large outlay required for material such as trestle timber placed a heavy drain on the Professor's personal fortune. While the right-of-way was being pushed into Rubio Canyon, grading for the cableway had already begun. Incline construction was underway by April 12, 1892, with D.J. Macpherson taking personal charge. Since the line into the canyon was nowhere near completion, all supplies had to be packed in by burro. Mount Lowe, The Railway in the Clouds, page 37.
Building the Incline proved to be one of the most difficult tasks of the railway's construction. Just above the bottom a ridge of the mountain intersected the right-of-way, and on its upper side lay a deep canyon. Both of these obstacles had to be surmounted before a single tie could be laid. It required eight long months to cut a grade through the ridge, which was called Granite Gorge. During that time every available man was kept busy. It was impossible to dispose of the rubble removed from the gorge downhill as it would have quickly filled up the canyon and inundated the spot where the loading platform was to be located. Gangs of laborers were set to work hand carrying the debris upward 50 yards, where it was dumped down a side canyon. Once the cut was completed the problem remained of crossing the 40-foot deep canyon to its upper side. The problem was finally resolved with a bridge that was one of the engineering marvels of its time. It was over 200 feet long, and stood 114 feet higher on its upper end. All of the cement required for its foundations had to be taken up on the backs of the workmen, as no amount of flogging could induce even a single burro to negotiate the 62 percent grade of the roadbed. Mount Lowe, The Railway in the Clouds, pages 39, 41.

This 'Drinkable Book' Is A Scientific Water Breakthrough That Will Save Countless Lives
By Eleanor Goldberg
In this case, you can go ahead and judge a book by its cover.
Across the globe, 3.4 million people die each year from water-related diseases. The statistic is particularly staggering considering that many people at risk of such preventable deaths have no idea that the water they imbibe is contaminated.
To educate people about the need to filter water, and to provide the tool to do so, WATERisLIFE teamed up with researchers from Carnegie Mellon and the University of Virginia to develop the Drinkable Book.
Costing just pennies to produce, the innovative book both teaches water hygiene (i.e. keeping trash and feces away from water sources) and serves as a filter that kills deadly bacteria.
The book functions much like a scientific coffee filter. When water passes through it, more than 99 percent of the harmful bacteria are killed, making it comparable to the tap water in the U.S.
Each filter can provide up to 30 days worth of clean drinking water, and one book can offer up potable water for up to four years.
This is something we can drink to.
Feeling inspired? Find out how you can provide someone in need with a Drinkable Book here.

Wearing Your Jeans
The issue: Who would have thought that being a fashionista could take such a toll on the environment? Unfortunately, according to the Indian Textile Journal, the textile industry is one of the biggest creators of wastewater worldwide. The EPA claims that it takes 2,900 gallons of water to produce one pair of jeans. Most of the water is used in the "wet processing" and dyeing of materials. The fix: The industry itself is making strides in cutting down their waste. According to the New York Times, companies are using innovative measures to combat wastewater, such as AirDye technology and counter-current rinsing. Still, there is a long way to go. One way that you can cut down on textile waste is to reuse and recycle. Need a pair of jeans? Check out Goodwill, or a nearby consignment shop. Want a bright red shirt? Buy a dye-free light material, and color the shirt yourself.


The Bay itself is about 200 miles long, stretching from Havre de Grace, Maryland, to Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The Chesapeake Bay was formed about 10,000 years ago when glaciers melted and flooded the Susquehanna River valley.
Major rivers emptying into the Bay include the James, York, Rappahannock, Potomac, Patuxent, Patapsco and Susquehanna from the west and the Pocomoke, Wicomico, Nanticoke, Choptank and Chester from the east.
The deepest part of the Bay, located southeast of Annapolis near Bloody Point, is called "The Hole" and is 174 feet deep.
The Chesapeake Bay holds more than 18 trillion gallons of water.
The Bay produces about 500 million pounds of seafood per year.
The Bay supports more than 3,600 species of plants and animals, including 348 species of finfish, 173 species of shellfish, over 2,700 plant species and more than 16 species of underwater grasses.
The Chesapeake Bay Program is a technical and financial assistance program available to farmers owning land within Pennsylvania's Susquehanna or Potomac River Basin's prior to 1984. Under the Chesapeake Bay Program eligible landowners may receive free technical assistance towards the planning, design and installation of structural BMPs. In many cases, the conservation district can secure funding for various projects or practices needed to achieve compliance to agricultural regulations. The district also works closely with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to obtain funding and additional technical support through various federal programs.
Some of the eligible practices include, animal waste management, barnyard runoff control, roof runoff management, composting, permanent vegetative cover, diversions, grazing land protection, critical area protection, waterways, cropland protection, conservation tillage, no till, cover crops, stream protection, sediment and erosion control, soil and manure analysis.
Several other financial assistance programs are available to provide funding in the form of grants or low interest loans to offset the cost of nutrient management plan development and/or implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in an approved Act 38 nutrient management plan.

MICHIGAN TEAM SETS PACE AT 2018 USBC OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – On the strength of a 1,213 effort in its second game, S & B Pro Shop 1 of Warren, Michigan, easily raised the bar in Regular Team at the 2018 United States Bowling Open Championships with a 3,322 performance Wednesday.
Led by a 763 series from 1997 Regular Team champion Kurt Pilon, S & B Pro Shop 1 rolled to the top of the standings, adding bookend scores of 1,019 and 1,090. Highland Lanes 1 of Westerville, Ohio, previously held the lead with 3,051, rolled during the opening squad of the 2018 event Saturday.
Pilon was joined at the Oncenter Convention Center in the effort by Marcus McClain (698), Ryan Mouw (664), two-time USBC Open Championships titlist Billy Orlikowski (606) and Andrew Burke (591).
The group's crossing team, S & B Shop 2, moved into second place in the Regular Team standings with a 3,102 total after games of 981, 1,040 and 1,081.
Matthew Anderson, who rolled a perfect game at the 2014 Open Championships, led S & B Shop 2 with a 681 series. Team USA's Andrew Anderson was next with 673 and was followed by Brad Smyth (600), David Reaume (574) and Justin O'Hara (574).
The talented group of 10 kept their options open as they began their team event, and S & B Pro Shop 1 was able to take advantage of what it saw in Game 2, averaging better than 242.
"Because we didn't have a chance to really watch too many other teams, we really tried to keep an open mind coming in," said Pilon, who owns one Professional Bowlers Association Tour title. "Straighter angles were a little too strong, so we opened up them up early. I really could see the picture the other guys were showing me, and once we got there, it really freed everybody up. I feel that's a nice number any year, and I'm thinking we don't have quite enough, but it'll be nice to celebrate for tonight. Our guys did a great job of working together, and I'm most happy about that."
The trip to Syracuse also served as a nice homecoming for Orlikowski, who captured the first of his two Eagles at the Oncenter Convention Center during the 1999 tournament. The 51-year-old right-hander fired a 299 game and 822 series in doubles to help Ottman Enterprises of Troy, Michigan, claim the Team All-Events title with a 9,919 total.
"There's definitely a lot of good karma here in Syracuse," said Orlikowski, who claimed his second Team All-Events title in 2012 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "We actually bowled pretty early that year, too, and we were able to hang on through the rest of the tournament. Winning your first Eagle is incredibly special, and it's great to be back and be back in the lead."
The two-team group will look to set the pace in Team All-Events on Thursday as they hit the lanes for doubles and singles at 2:30 p.m. Eastern.
Teams competing in the Regular Division have combined entering averages of 1,046 and above.

Barcelona La Pedrera show a "new story" about the applied and decorative arts of Modernism in the exhibition Modernism: Art, tallers, INDUSTRIES from this Thursday until February 7th, announced Wednesday the director of the Foundation Catalunya – La Pedrera, Marta Lacambra.
Along with the director of the Culture of the Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera, Marga Viza, and curator and professor of art history at the University of Barcelona (UB) Mireia Freixa, it stressed that it is the largest solo exhibition dedicated to these arts in the last 50 years.
The selection draws a tour of the building of the last century and relive a time of momentous changes in the field of architecture and design with the recovery of "unknown aspects of recent history" and updating artistic trades, said Freixa .
The exhibition is the result of research in the university team with a montage Commissioner made an "extraordinary sensitivity," which has a special lighting for each piece. With this exhibition, "Casa Mila regains its domestic value", and a large window-usually hidden behind a curtain or ceiling, doors, columns, railings and floors of the building by Antoni Gaudí is recovered, stressed the Commissioner . One of the most spectacular pieces is a large stained glass window from the Museum of Cerdanyola del Valles, and one of the most delicate is a screen made of stained glass from broken glass modernist forms takes on a technique that only remained in Catalunya. It is a "liquid exposure" because the plot is given by the techniques used, stained glass, wrought iron and wood, flooring, textiles and jewelry, among others.
50 public and private collections
The exhibition brings together more than one hundred objects and numerous documents and photographs from the period from 50 public and private collections such as the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC), the Museum of Design in Barcelona, the Documentation Centre the Terrassa Textile Museum and the Library of Catalonia.
A new feature of the exhibition is precisely the focus on the creative process of decorative objects, from conception to consumption. Freixa has concluded that each piece is beautiful and unique, and noted that the Catalan Modernism is so aesthetic that hides the "glitz" of a bourgeois class through a style that then came to other layers of society.

In addition to all the fan art I promised, I'm also starting a new comic, "Jamal's World" which stars an odd little bear named Jamal (pronounced \Jey-mawl\) as it schleps through life and all of its meals.

'Agent Carter' season 3 news: Future of the show uncertain as Hayley Atwell is in a new ABC drama
March 16th, 2016 Author: admin Agent Carter - News
Season 2 of "Agent Carter" finished with a cliffhanger as Thompson was shot by an unknown assailant as he was gearing to go back to New York City. Given the ending, fans assume that the Marvel produced TV show will come back with a brand new season. Unfortunately, Hayley Atwell who plays the lead role as Peggy Carter has also booked another role in the upcoming ABC drama "Conviction," which makes the future of "Agent Carter" uncertain.
"That's something ABC has talked about a lot [with me]," Atwell revealed to The Hollywood Reporter. "If ['Conviction' and 'Agent Carter' season 3] both got picked up, then we'd work out some way where I could do both."
But, Atwell was also candid on the possibility of "Agent Carter" no longer returning to the small screen saying that with the ending that it has, the show has a perfect platform for a next installment. However, if not, she still thinks that the finale is quite satisfying.
"If anything, they'll come away satisfied but also curious as to what happens beyond, because thanks to all the Marvel films she has appeared in, we know that Peggy's life goes on and she lives quite an extraordinary life and a long life. So there's always room to revisit her in different ways, different decades and different ages," the actress explained.
Atwell who has both donned the big and small screen adaptations of Marvel comic books is also set to play another character named Carter in "Convinction." This time, however, she is Carter Morrison, a former first daughter who is forced to be the chief of the newly established Conviction Unit of Los Angeles. While the new character does not seem to be far from Agent Carter, the 33-year-old British actress is still looking forward to go back in time playing the snarky and highly capable agent of SSR adding that the writers have done an amazing job in the last two seasons.
"If we get the opportunity to work on it again, then brilliant. Because then I'm sure I'll have even more fun working on it than I did in season two which was a lot," Atwell gushed. [Source]


For most, remarriage and having blended families brings unique estate planning challenges. These challenges can be further exacerbated when one spouse is significantly wealthier than the other.
For example, Tom and Wendy are married. It's a second marriage for both and they both have children from their first marriages. Wendy came to the marriage with a significantly larger estate than Tom. It's important to Wendy that if she dies before Tom, that Wendy's assets pass to her children, but she also wants to make sure that Tom is provided for. If Wendy just leaves her estate to Tom, it's possible that he could spend it all or leave it to someone other than Wendy's children.
Before we can discuss the Lifetime QTIP as a planning strategy, it's helpful to understand some estate tax planning basics for married couples.
Each individual has their own "coupon". For married couples, when the first spouse dies, a Credit Shelter Trust may be used to maximize use of the deceased spouse's estate tax "coupon".
The surviving spouse and/or children or others can be the beneficiaries of the Credit Shelter Trust.
When the surviving spouse dies, the assets of the Credit Shelter Trust, and any growth in value of those assets, continues to be sheltered from estate taxes.
The estate tax laws also include an Unlimited Marital Deduction that allows an individual to leave an unlimited amount to a surviving spouse without owing any estate taxes (so long as the surviving spouse is a U.S. citizen). However, this is just a delay mechanism. When the surviving spouse dies, the assets will be included in the surviving spouse's taxable estate. The surviving spouse's estate tax "coupon" can be used to shelter some of the assets from estate taxes, but any assets above the "coupon" amount will be taxed.
Assume that the estate tax exemption is $5M. If Wendy's estimated estate is $8M and Tom's is $500K, then Wendy could include a Credit Shelter Trust in her estate plan. If Wendy dies first, $5M of her estate would be allocated to the Credit Shelter Trust (the estate tax exemption, or 'coupon' for the sake of this example). Wendy still has to figure out what do to with her remaining $3M. The unlimited marital deduction would permit Wendy to leave the remaining $3M to Tom, but if Wendy leaves the $3M outright to Tom, he could spend it. Or, if Tom gets remarried, he could leave it to his new wife rather than to Wendy's children.
A common issue for blended families is wanting to maximize use of the estate tax exemption and unlimited marital deduction laws, but also wanting bloodline protection to ensure that upon the death of the surviving spouse, the assets passed to the first spouse's children or beneficiaries as intended.
As a result, the estate tax laws allow for what's called a Qualified Terminable Interest Property (QTIP) trust which allows for use of the unlimited marital deduction while also having the assets held in trust for greater protection.
Upon death of the first spouse, after allocating the estate tax exemption amount to the Credit Shelter Trust, the remaining assets pass to a QTIP Trust.
The QTIP Trust must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible to the unlimited marital deduction. For example, the surviving spouse must be the sole beneficiary of the trust during the surviving spouse's lifetime and the surviving spouse must have access to all of the net income of the QTIP Trust.
You have the option to gift the surviving spouse access to some or all of the principal of the QTIP Trust, but it is not required.
Once established after the death of the first spouse, the QTIP Trust must have its own taxpayer identification number and it must file its own income tax return.
When the surviving spouse dies, the assets in the QTIP Trust will be countable as part of the surviving spouse's estate for estate tax purposes, but the surviving spouse's estate tax exemption can be used to shelter some or all of the QTIP assets from estate tax.
When the surviving spouse dies, the QTIP Trust can stipulate who receives the remaining assets, such as the children of the first spouse to die.
Wendy could set up her estate plan such that when she dies $5M passes to the Credit Shelter Trust and the remaining $3M passes to a QTIP for Tom. If Tom survives Wendy, he will receive the income from the assets in the QTIP Trust. When Tom dies, the assets remaining in the QTIP Trust can pass to Wendy's children.
Rather than waiting until death to fund a QTIP Trust, a Lifetime QTIP (i.e., a QTIP that you set up while you're living) can be a great asset protection tool. This is referred to as a Lifetime QTIP Trust or Inter Vivos QTIP Trust.
A Lifetime QTIP can provide asset protection for the assets in the trust while both spouses are living.
The Lifetime QTIP trust can include a power to swap or "substitute" assets of equivalent value. This can allow for future planning flexibility to swap assets for stepped-up basis planning to reduce potential capital gains taxes.
Transferring the assets to the Lifetime QTIP begins the 5-year lookback period for Medicaid eligibility for nursing home care.
If the Trustmaker Spouse dies first, the Lifetime QTIP continues for the surviving spouse.
If the Beneficiary Spouse dies first, the assets in the Lifetime QTIP can then flow into a lifetime trust for the benefit of the Trustmaker Spouse and will still be asset protected!
Wendy could transfer $3M or more to a Lifetime QTIP. The assets in the trust would be protected if either Wendy or Tom are sued. While they are both living, Tom is beneficiary of the Lifetime QTIP. If Tom dies first, the assets flow into a new trust that Wendy is a beneficiary of and the assets are still protected if Wendy gets sued.
Unfortunately, some individuals have a higher likelihood of being sued due to the nature of their professional or financial stature—in other words, those that have something to lose.

DISRUPTIVE INSIGHTS
DISRUPTIVE CHANGES
DISRUPTIVE RESULTS
Larry Hart
There Are No "Bad" Habits
We have all done it. We have witnessed someone behaving in a seemingly detrimental way, and find ourselves, for a moment or two, consumed in a state of disapproval, observing the act, perched atop a moral high horse. Sound at all familiar?
Whether this inner voice of superiority starts talking at the sight of someone smoking outside their office building, or in watching an overweight person indulge in a hefty helping of unhealthy food, we have all heard its disapproving sound loud and clear.
As a society, we tend to judge people on their regular habits, more than their occasional behaviors. We often talk about habits as being "good" or "bad." One of the best predictors of future behavior is past behavior, so it comes as no surprise that as a society, we make assumptions about people for their so-called bad habits, and tend to revere people for their "good" ones. But by whose standards, and by whose authority, are these classifications made?
Resisting The Urge To Judge
Judgment is a natural human response. However, when we use the word judgment, it implies condemnation. Judgment is wrong when we think we are right. The judgment that gets us into trouble is the judgment that creates a comparison between yourself and another person, where you assume that you are right and that the other is wrong.
The truth is: none of us are truly in a position to judge anyone's habits but our own.
Sometimes, the lines become blurred, as when we encounter a smoker who also happens to be a regular jogger. How does one assess that particular combination of habits? Does one negate the other in our tendency towards judgment? Which one is a greater factor in the individual's success, perseverance and power of concentration? It is an interesting scenario. Instead of judging, however, we could opt to remain curious. When we observe the habits other people choose, we could adopt the approach as previously suggested by Heather Anderson, simply pause and think to ourselves, "That's interesting," and give the situation a little more contemplation.
What Do Habits Reveal?
Habits are very personal behaviors and they do reveal a lot about people. Observing habits may tell you what is important to a person. The things they do every day, the priorities they set, the rituals they adopt, are all pieces of a puzzle, of what makes an individual who they are.
Recall Gary Lockwood's piece on Habit, in which the entity, Habit, states, "I have made all the great individuals who have ever been, great, and I have made all the losers too." So let's forget about judgment. Ultimately, there are habits that serve us well, and there are habits that simply don't. Adopt a policy of curiosity about other people's habits, rather than judgment. And above all, make sure that you are striving to turn the habits that serve you best into rituals that occur without your conscious thought.

How Gaia-X promotes Smart City
3 questions for Matthias Brucke, founder and Managing Director, embeteco
Gaia-X can reduce costs in the long term and create new business opportunities, says Matthias Brucke in an interview. The founder and Managing Director of embeteco will be speaking on the panel at the GXFS Connect Conference in Berlin on 8 September about the exchange with Gaia-X Hub DE Domains.
Mr Brucke, how will users ultimately benefit from Gaia-X?
One of the central issues in a digital world is interoperability. This is only warranted if technical systems communicate with each other and data can be exchanged and used. Currently, however, it is often the case that for each new solution a new adapter has to be built to flange it to an existing system. The framework concepts of Gaia-X and the concept of data spaces, in which the meta-information on the data or the regulatory aspects are also addressed, make it easier to develop possible solutions or to make data available to others. This will be reflected in the long-term reduction of costs but also in the opportunity for new business.
What future use cases do you expect?
In the Smart City / Smart Region domain, in particular, I expect that applications in the field of sector coupling will benefit. Wherever different domains are to be interconnected, different technical and regulatory requirements apply, making such systems extremely complex and expensive. In an ideal world where Gaia-X data spaces of the different sectors are running productively, interconnecting and linking different domains into a Smart City / Smart Region System of Systems would be easier than today.
What requirements must Gaia-X and GXFS fulfil for this to happen?
The central requirement for technical systems is trustworthiness, otherwise they will not be accepted and not used. This trust is achieved through transparency, reliability, safety, and security. However, an economic aspect is also relevant for systems to establish themselves on the market in the long term. The systems must lead to cost savings or new business opportunities.
Mr Brucke, thank you very much for the interview!
On 8 September at 3:30 pm, as part of GXFS Connect 2022, a German-language event, Matthias Brucke (embeteco) will discuss with Tina Siegfried (Dataport), Prof. Dr Steffen Warmbold (Association of Consulting Engineers), Oliver Warweg (Fraunhofer IOSB) and Prof. Dr Frank Köster (DLR).

HomeArticlesIs a 'Resurgent' Russia a Threat to the US?
The Russian military was clearly superior to that of a small country in its "near abroad" – Georgia -but is a "resurgent" Russia a threat to the United States? If the United States insists on expanding its informal empire into Russia's nearby sphere of influence, it has to expect some pushback from a Russia that is no longer as weak as it once was and is resentful at having been trampled on during the 1990s and early 2000s.
At the end of the Cold War, the United States pledged verbally to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that if the U.S.S.R. allowed Germany to reunite and embed in NATO, the U.S. would not expand the alliance, which the bear perceives as hostile. The United States, however, violated this promise and repeatedly expanded NATO—inducting former Soviet Warsaw Pact allies in Eastern Europe and even former Soviet republics (the Baltic states). (Incredibly, even after the U.S. and NATO were proved impotent in helping Georgia during its recent war with Russia, the Bush administration is still pressuring its reluctant European allies to admit Georgia and the Ukraine, an even more important former Soviet republic on Russia's border). Further showing that the U.S. foreign policy elite never ended the Cold War have been repeated acts by both Democratic and Republican presidents to thumb their nose at a weakened Russia—for example, winning U.S. access to military bases in former Soviet Central Asia, rerouting energy pipelines from the oil-rich Caspian Sea around Russian territory, and planning to build missile defense installations in the territories of former Soviet allies Poland and the Czech Republic.
But the bear is now coming out of a long hibernation a bit rejuvenated. Using increased petroleum revenues from the oil price spike, the Russians will hike defense spending 26 percent next year to about $50 billion—the highest level since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Yet as the oil price declines from this historic high, Russia will have fewer revenues to increase defense spending and rebuild its military.
In addition, the Russian military is very corrupt—with an estimated 40 percent of the money for some weapons and pay for personnel being stolen or wasted. This makes the amount of real defense spending far below the nominal $50 billion per year.
U.S. analysts say, however, that increased military spending would allow Russia to have more influence over nations in its near abroad and Eastern Europe. Of course, throughout history, small countries living in the shadow of larger powers have had to make political, diplomatic, and economic adjustments to suit the larger power. Increased Russian influence in this sphere, however, should not necessarily threaten the security of the faraway United States. It does only because the United States has defined its security as requiring intrusions into Russia's traditional sphere of influence. By expanding NATO into Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the United States has guaranteed the security of these allied countries against a nuclear-armed power, in the worst case, by sacrificing its cities in a nuclear war. Providing this kind of guarantee for these non-strategic countries is not in the U.S. vital interest. Denying Russia the sphere of influence in nearby areas traditionally enjoyed by great powers (for example, the U.S. uses the Monroe Doctrine to police the Western Hemisphere) will only lead to unnecessary U.S.-Russian tension and possibly even cataclysmic war.
