Recently, studies have reported the use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) by applying online pattern classification of brain states from subject-specific fNIRS signals. The purpose of the present study was to develop and test a real-time method for subject-specific and subject-independent classification of multichannel fNIRS signals using support-vector machines (SVM), so as to determine its feasibility as an online neurofeedback system. Towards this goal, we used left versus right hand movement execution and movement imagery as study paradigms in a series of experiments. In the first two experiments, activations in the motor cortex during movement execution and movement imagery were used to develop subject-dependent models that obtained high classification accuracies thereby indicating the robustness of our classification method. In the third experiment, a generalized classifier-model was developed from the first two experimental data, which was then applied for subject-independent neurofeedback training. Application of this method in new participants showed mean classification accuracy of 63% for movement imagery tasks and 80% for movement execution tasks. These results, and their corresponding offline analysis reported in this study demonstrate that SVM based realtime subject-independent classification of fNIRS signals is feasible. This method has important applications in the field of hemodynamic BCIs, and neuro-rehabilitation where patients can be trained to learn spatio-temporal patterns of healthy brain activity.

Mama of two gorgeous kiddos, Founder/Chairman of The Entertainer (yes, that fabulous book and app that gives us all those amazing deals in Dubai and beyond) – and more recently Chloe's Salon (a gorgeous hair and beauty space) and Jack's Plaice (dedicated to providing proper British Fish & Chips), Donna Benton is one very inspiring lady. We caught up with her to chat everything from work to family life and holidays – and to find out how exactly she balances it all! A huge thank you to Steph from Nektar for the beautiful photos.
I'm Donna Benton, Founder and Chairman of the Entertainer. We provide Buy One Get One Free offers for dining, attractions, leisure, spas, beauty & fitness, hotels and much more in one great App. I started the company in 2001 and now we're a global team of over 200 people with 14 offices across the world. On the home front, I'm a very happy 'mama' to 6-year-old Chloe and Jack, who's 3.
When I started my company, I had to do a lot of all-nighters and worked really hard, day in day out. I didn't have any other commitments so I poured my heart and soul into my work. While I still have that passion today, after having children I divide my time between work and home. I make sure to schedule my appointments around their school functions, holidays and illnesses. It's not always easy but we make sure that we get in some quality family time every day. When you're a 'mamapreneur', you don't always have the luxury of switching off completely during your maternity break – so getting back to work was relatively smooth as I knew what was going on in the company anyway.
The first and most important thing I keep telling myself is that balance doesn't mean sticking to the same schedule everyday – it's all about flexibility. Some days I take the afternoons off when the kids have after-school activities – but I may work late into the evenings those days. One rule I have is to take family holidays where I try to completely switch off from work. It's very personal, how you manage to give your best to your work and your family, but it's very rewarding when you achieve that balance.
I plan my week well in advance– my meetings, appointments, interviews, school functions, social events and so on but allow for flexibility to accommodate emergencies. In the morning, I take a look at what I have lined up for the day and go over any notes or other material I have. This means I don't waste any time catching up and I am well prepared to face the day! For me, it certainly pays to be organised.
Do you have any tips for aspiring "mamapreneurs" and other working mamas in Dubai?
My number one tip is to eat right and stay fit. Being a working mother or entrepreneur is both physically and mentally demanding, so take time to look after yourself – plus remember we all need a break from time to time. You need the energy to do what you love and follow your dreams.
If you feel like giving up, remember that what you're doing will open a lot of opportunities for your children that they may not have otherwise. You are always stronger than you think, so keep going!
Definitely Kite Beach with the kids on their bikes and scooters – we love it down there.
The Noodle House is hands down my kids' favourite restaurant!
We have a house in Phuket that we all adore, so for us Thailand is THE family holiday destination.
Date night! It's not as superficial as it sounds. Going out for a nice dinner together is a way to just talk and rediscover the person you're with. In a world where we're always connected to our social circle and work, going out is a way to disconnect from the rest of the world and make a deeper connection with that one special person. Keeping the romance alive takes work and planning some time with just the two of you is a great way to start.
El Sur and Pai Thai are two. We love trying out new restaurants, though, and we've discovered some lovely ones along the way.
There is no 'perfect mother'. We are all unique and so are our children and their needs. The other piece of parenting wisdom I live by – it's okay to ask for help sometimes. Trying to do everything sometimes works against us.
It's important to remember that kids don't have to be busy all the time. It's okay for them to be bored once in a while because they learn to appreciate the times you take them out. Also, it helps them come up with creative ways to keep themselves entertained.
When my daughter didn't know what McDonalds was!
Time with my kids – they always come first.
Nothing – I'm a really good sleeper! On a more serious note though, I believe that once you go to bed you can't change anything until the next day – so why spend the night worrying?
Be there for all of them, no matter what.
All day – time is precious!
My morning run. It clears my head and prepares me for the day. Nothing can wake me up better.
Just me, because I've realised that if you're happy, then everyone's happy.
The kids willingly go to bed!
Thanks to Steph from Nektar for these gorgeous pictures of Donna and her family!

Two Minutes, Well Worth It
Jeremy Lin Got Stopped Trying to Board the Raptors' Team Bus After Game 2, As There Are Inexcusably NBA Security Guards That Are Unfamiliar With 'Linsanity'
Milwaukee Basketball Hour with Jeremy Lin: @JLin7 talked that when he was going to the team's bus after ECF Game 2, a staff at #Bucks arena asked him to show the PASS. □
➡Full□ https://t.co/bhSqpgZpgP pic.twitter.com/2s4fcW60RQ
— Popo Chung (@PopoChung7) May 23, 2019
"After Game 2 in Milwaukee, I was trying to get to the team bus and one of the dudes in the Milwaukee arena just screams at me. He's like, 'Where do you think you're going?!' And I'm like, 'Uh, I'm trying to get to the team bus.' He's like, 'What?! Where's your pass?' I was like, 'I don't have a pass. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have a pass,'" said Lin.
"This happens in a lot of arenas, so I just kind of go with the flow."
Look, I get it. To the untrained eye, Jeremy Lin looks...shall we say...well...hmm...nope...I can't think of a less subtle way to put it than saying he looks a hell of a lot more Asian than your average NBA player.
I just can't help but wonder exactly how untrained one's eye has to be not to be familiar with face of 'Linsanity', which was quite literally a cultural phenomenon that led to a more well-publicized stretch of fame and notoriety than almost every non-superstar in basketball history is able to call their own. If NBA security is made up of even the most casual of NBA fans then not recognizing the man that burned the brightest as a shooting star of New York sports' celebrity is almost more inexcusable than thinking that Asians of even the most non-stereotypical aesthetics look alike. It stands to reason that those hired to protect professional athletes should have a heightened sense of who they are dealing with, and - relative to the vast majority of his black, white, brown, or purple peers - Jeremy Lin reached heights that most basketball players could only dream of. Therefore, while the unintentional racism of the repetitive profiling is definitely unfortunate, what really has my panties in a bunch is the thought of the insanity of the national treasure that was Linsanity not being common knowledge all throughout each and every NBA arena for-ev-er.

Transgenic Seeds Market
Transgenic Seeds Market Share & Trends Analysis, By Types (Farmland, Greenhouse), By Traits (Insecticide, Herbicide, Others), By Crops (Corn, Maize, Others) & By Region Forecast - Global Review 2021 to 2031
Transgenic Seeds Market Forecast and CAGR
What is the Driving Demand for Transgenic Seeds?
Post Pandemic Recovery will augment Transgenic Seeds Sale
US and Canada Transgenic Seeds Market Outlook
Europe Demand for Transgenic Seeds
Who are the Key Manufacturers and Suppliers of Transgenic Seeds?
Transgenic Seeds Market Report Highlights:
According to the latest research done by Fct.MR., transgenic seeds are going to see rapid growth in the forecast period of 2021-2031. The rising demand for high-yield crops and the upsurge of private companies in agricultural commodities will raise the momentum of the transgenic seeds market. After analyzing the present market and future potential of transgenic seeds, it is expected to experience a CAGR of around 10%-12% in the forecast period.
Seeds are the primary capital good for agricultural production. Advancement in the field of seeds for higher quality crops is the need of the hour to cope up with the advanced agricultural practices. Transgenic seeds being genetically modified seeds provide that flexibility, hence its demand is increasing.
Transgenic seeds have become one of the major driving forces in the food industry. Transgenic seeds have various advantages. They are a better version of conventional seeds. They come in many forms, some are organic, free of pesticides, diseases, etc, and also have quality and higher yield compared to the conventional seeds. All these factors and ever-increasing demand for food in the market have led to heavy growth in the transgenic seeds market.
In addition to these, the advancements in seeds and agricultural sciences, intensive R&D in the field, adoption of modern technology in farming practices have led to various transgenic seeds requirements. With the increase in popularity and benefits of transgenic seeds-based products, the number of consumers and sales globally is increasing at a rapid speed.
The covid-19 crisis has hit each and every sector of the market. Compared to all sectors, the food industry has affected the least. Hence, the transgenic seeds market also got hit but with a lesser degree than the rest as it also comes in essential goods.
Because of the halt of various essential goods and disruption of supply chain management, a number of small-scale manufacturers and suppliers of transgenic seeds had to stop their manufacturing unit due to limited stocks of raw materials and lesser sale growth in the market.
After the first wave of covid, the demand for transgenic seeds started coming back on track and also the manufacturers started producing efficiently. But again the arrival of the second wave of the pandemic, the transgenic seeds market is experiencing rough time. It is expected to be back on track after the situation normalizes and boost the growth of the transgenic seeds market.
North America is the biggest producer and exporter of transgenic seeds. The prevalent transgenic seeds in the market are corn, soybean, Canola, etc, which are grown at a very mass level in North America, especially in the US and Canada. More than 80% of these crops are grown with the help of transgenic seeds in the US and Canada combined.
The use of genetically modified seeds for crop production is quite prevalent in the US and it is the leader for the world in growing these genetically modified crops with no side effects while being very economical at the same time.
The US has one of the biggest farmlands in the world and since it's a developed economy, the use of advanced methods in farming is done at a very basic level hence the demand for transgenic seeds is very high here. On the other hand, Canada is also a developed economy but the farmland and the acceptance compared to US is much lesser. Hence the use and growth of transgenic seeds are at a bit decent speed.
The use of transgenic seeds is very limited in Europe. Even after intensive research and verification of products by major key players of transgenic seeds, it is still labeled harmful and is banned by some of the European countries.
Countries like France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, etc have banned the use of genetically modified seeds but some of them have allowed manufacturing the transgenic seeds for export. Countries like Russia have totally banned transgenic seeds for the use, importation, and exportation too.
The UK is one of the rarest European countries that has allowed the import of transgenic seeds-based products. But the production of crops with the use of transgenic seeds is still prohibited in most of Europe. Hence the market of transgenic seeds is quite stagnant there.
Transgenic seeds are manufactured all over the world. The scale of manufacturing depends on the demand of it in nearby geographical area. Some of the major manufacturers and suppliers of transgenic seeds are

Funkcja całkowalna – funkcja, dla której istnieje całka w sensie danej teorii całki. Jeżeli nie jest to sprecyzowane, to najczęściej ma się na myśli funkcje całkowalne w sensie Lebesgue'a; pozostałe zwykle są odpowiednio kwalifikowane, np. funkcja całkowalna w sensie Riemanna (tzn. istnieje całka Riemanna tej funkcji), czy w sensie Henstocka-Kurzweila itp.

Całkowalność w sensie Newtona
Choć funkcja może mieć funkcję pierwotną (całkę nieoznaczoną), to może nie być ona całkowalna. Przykładowo funkcja

jest pierwotną funkcji

ale całka z funkcji  nie jest zbieżna na żadnym przedziale nieskończonym.  Może tak być nawet wtedy, gdy funkcja pierwotna ma granicę w każdym kierunku, jak np.
  dla
której pochodna

nie jest całkowalna na przedziale  Jest prawdą nawet, gdy przedział całkowania nie jest nieskończony; przykładem może być pierwotna
  dla
której pochodna

nie jest całkowalna w przedziale  Jest tak, ponieważ po przypisaniu jakiejkolwiek wartości  w zerze, będzie ona tam nieciągła. Z tego powodu  nie jest określone, dlatego niemożliwe jest zastosowanie podstawowego twierdzenia rachunku całkowego na przedziale

Całkowalność w sensie Lebesgue'a

Dla danego zbioru  z określoną na nim σ-algebrą  i miarą  określoną na  rzeczywista funkcja  jest całkowalna, jeżeli tak jej część dodatnia  jak i ujemna  są funkcjami mierzalnymi o skończonej całce Lebesgue'a. Jest to równoważne temu, by skończona była całka z funkcji  Wówczas całkę Lebesgue'a funkcji  definiuje się wówczas wzorem

Czasami funkcję całkowalną w powyższym sensie nazywa się sumowalną, zaś termin "funkcja całkowalna" zarezerwowany jest dla funkcji  dla której skończona jest choć jedna z całek po prawej stronie powyższego wzoru.

Dla liczby rzeczywistej  funkcję  nazywa się -sumowalną, jeżeli sumowalna jest funkcja  Wielu autorów stosuje jednak to nazewnictwo tylko wtedy, gdy  jest ciągiem, a  jest dyskretna; w przypadku ogólnym nazywając  funkcją -całkowalną. Dla  mówi się czasem, że  jest bezwzględnie sumowalna / całkowalna.

Przestrzenie Lp funkcji całkowalnych w sensie Lebesgue'a w p-tej potędze są jednym z głównych obiektów badań analizy funkcjonalnej.

Całkowalność z kwadratem

Definicja:

Funkcję zmiennej rzeczywistej bądź zespolonej o wartościach rzeczywistych lub zespolonych nazywamy całkowalną z kwadratem na przedziale, jeżeli całka kwadratu jej wartości bezwzględnej/modułu jest skończona.

Twierdzenie:

Zbiór wszystkich funkcji mierzalnych całkowalnych z kwadratem, w sensie Lebesgue'a, stanowi przestrzeń liniową, która jest przestrzenią Hilberta – jest to tzw. przestrzeń L2, w której funkcje równe prawie wszędzie są ze sobą utożsamiane (formalnie L2 jest przestrzenią ilorazową przestrzeni funkcji całkowalnych z kwadratem przez podprzestrzeń funkcji, które znikają prawie wszędzie).

Funkcje tego rodzaju są szczególnie użyteczne w mechanice kwantowej, ponieważ funkcje falowe muszą być całkowalne z kwadratem na całej przestrzeni, aby teoria dawała sensowne fizycznie rozwiązania.

Israeli Company Spyware Used to Attack US Embassy Employees in Africa
By Jeffrey Bailey	 On Dec 4, 2021
WASHINGTON — The iPhones of 11 U.S. embassy employees working in Uganda have been hacked with spyware developed by Israel's NSO Group, the surveillance company that blacklisted the United States a month ago and says the technology was foreign governments have been used to suppress dissent, several acquaintances with the violation said on Friday.
The hack is the first known case of the spyware, known as Pegasus, being used against US officials. Pegasus is an advanced surveillance system that can be remotely implanted into smartphones to extract audio and video recordings, encrypted communications, photos, contacts, location data and text messages.
There is no suggestion that NSO hacked the phones itself, but rather that one of its clients, mainly foreign governments, targeted embassy employees.
The revelation will no doubt increase tension with Israel over the recent US crackdown on Israeli companies that create surveillance software that has been used to track the locations of dissidents, eavesdrop on their conversations and secretly download files sent through their phones go. President Biden plans to make efforts to further crack down on the use of such software, a key part of a summit next week at the White House to which he has invited dozens of countries, including Israel.
US diplomats have been hacked before, most notably by Russia, which has repeatedly pierced the State Department's unclassified email systems. But in this case, the software was written by a company that works closely with one of the United States' most vital allies — and a country that often collaborates with the National Security Agency to conduct cyber operations, including against Iran.
NSO has long insisted that it selects its customers carefully and rejects many. But the United States last month concluded that the company's software and its activities conflicted with US foreign policy interests, and placed it on the Commerce Department's "Entity List" prohibiting it from key technologies. may receive.
Representatives from the State Department and Apple declined to comment.
NSO said in a statement it would conduct an independent investigation into the allegations and cooperate with any government investigation.
"We have decided to immediately terminate relevant customers' access to the system due to the seriousness of the allegations," the company said. "Until now, we have not received any information, neither the phone numbers nor any indication that NSO's tools were used in this case."
Reuters reported earlier on Friday that Apple notified the employees of the US embassy in Uganda about the hack on Tuesday. According to one person familiar with the attack, the people affected were a mix of foreign service officers and local residents working for the embassy, all of whom had their Apple IDs linked to their State Department email addresses.
"Apple believes you are being targeted by state-sponsored attackers who are trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID," the Apple statement said.
"These attackers are probably targeting you individually because of who you are or what you do. If your device is compromised by a state-sponsored attacker, they could potentially gain remote access to your sensitive data, communications, or even the camera and microphone. While this may be a false alarm, you should take this warning seriously," Apple said in the statement.
NSO is one of many companies that make money by finding vulnerabilities in the operating system and selling tools that can exploit them.
Among the targets were confidants of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post columnist who was dismembered by Saudi agents in Turkey; a range of human rights lawyers, dissidents and journalists in the Emirates and Mexico, and even their relatives living in the United States.
The Biden administration last month blacklisted NSO, its subsidiaries, and an Israeli company called Candiru for knowingly supplying spyware that has been used by foreign governments to "malicately" attack the phones of dissidents, human rights activists, journalists and others. to attack".
NSO and Candiru are not accused of maliciously hacking phones themselves, but of selling tools to customers when they knew they would be used in malicious attacks.
The blacklist, which prevents US suppliers from doing business with those companies, marked a remarkable break with Israel and was the strongest move yet by a White House to curb abuse in the shady, unregulated global spyware market.
The government phones targeted so far have not been classified and there is no evidence that the NSO exploits were used to access classified information, a senior government official said.
"We were also very concerned about it because it poses a real and current counterintelligence and security risk to US personnel and US systems around the world," a senior government official said.
Apple released a patch in September that fixes the weakness in its mobile operating system. Since that patch only protects a phone after a user downloads the updated software, it's possible that hackers could continue to exploit the weakness to infiltrate phones that had yet to be updated.
Apple asked State Department employees to take several precautions, including immediately updating their iPhones with the latest software available, including the patch. The company said the attacks that Apple had detected are "ineffective against iOS 15 and later".
Apple's notice to diplomats and the US government came after the tech company filed suit against NSO for what it believes are violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a law passed in 1986 when many computers had less computing power than the current phones.
It's not clear that Apple will prevail, as the statute is meant to protect computer users, not manufacturers. But the gist of the lawsuit, and NSO's addition to a US blacklist, is an attempt to place the Israeli company in the same category as Chinese or Russian hacking groups, or ransomware operators who rent out their capabilities.
China has used similar types of spyware to suppress Muslim minorities, as has Russia against dissidents. Saudi Arabia is said to have used it in Khashoggi's murder and subsequent attempt to cover up the crime.
But until now, it was not known to target American diplomats.
The government's actions, combined with Apple's legal action, should amount to a "multi-faceted effort" to stop NSO and make its spy software less effective. According to public reports, Apple has informed people in El Salvador, Uganda and Thailand that their phones have been compromised.
The concern is that the spy technology is extremely stealthy and can be placed on phones without users doing anything. Detecting that a phone has been compromised can also be quite difficult, the official said.

Medical students in 100 level at the University of Lagos disrupted business and academic activities on Wednesday by shutting down the main gate of the institution in protest of the change of requirement that enables them to cross over to the college of medicine, idi araba to continue their studies.
Medical student at the university usually proceeds to the college of medicine, Idi Araba to continue their studies after their 100l at the main campus. The requirement that has been in place is to have 50% in the biological sciences, physical sciences and chemical sciences and a minimum of 2.5 CGPA, but the student clamored that the management changed the requirement towards the end of their second semester.
In an interaction with one of the affected student on the basis of anonymity, the student lamented that the issue had been tendered to the management for about three weeks but the management has been paying negligence to their cry and that they were just buying time and playing on their future which was why they have to result to a protest. He further stated that changing the requirement three weeks to their second semester examination is nothing but breach of agreement as there was a standing guideline that was given to them upon admission which was also stated in their student handbook.
The president of the Students' Union, Comrade Mohammed Olaniyan, when speaking to our correspondence made it known that the union is in support of the students and that the students have a point in their agitation, he however pointed out that the change of the requirement is not just the decisions of the management but the change came as a result of the regulatory body of the medical profession.
Speaking with the Speaker of the Students' Union, Rt. Hon. Adeyanju Adeonipekun, He stated that the students' union priority is to fight for the student and that as leaders and technocrat will go into consultations and consolidations with the management to proffer possible solutions.
However in a press release by the information unit of the University, it was made known that the professional bodies which regulates the Health Professions courses at the college of medicine have insisted on the enforcement of the quota upon which accreditation is hinged and the management at its meeting held on Wednesday, 27th January 2016 had approved the implementation of the re-arrangement to conform with the professional bodies quota in order not to lose accreditation.

'UNDER ATTACK'
15 Dead in 'Terror Attack' at Upscale Kenyan Hotel Complex: Reuters
Jamie Ross
Siegfried Modola/Reuters
Fifteen people were killed when armed men stormed an upscale hotel complex in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, on Tuesday, according to Reuters. An American man, a British man, and 11 Kenyans were among the dead, according to a mortuary worker. Somali militant group al-Shabab has taken responsibility for the assault, which authorities have called a "terror attack." Kenyan security forces secured the buildings where gunmen mounted the deadly attack, and expect the death toll to rise as bodies are recovered, according to government officials. "The security teams have evacuated scores of Kenyans and other nationalities from the (hotel and office) buildings," Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i said, according to CNN. "We are now in the final stages of mopping up the area and securing evidence and documenting the consequences of these unfortunate events."
Witnesses told BBC that four armed men entered the hotel complex, and a person inside the complex told Reuters they were "under attack" before hanging up the phone. Footage from the scene showed cars set on fire and armed officers escorting office workers to safety as the sound of shots rang out. "I just started hearing gunshots, and then started seeing people running away raising their hands up and some were entering the bank to hide for their lives," a woman in a neighboring building told Reuters. The attack happened in an upscale neighborhood of the capital city. Victims are now being escorted out of the area by armed officers, BBC reports. Video from CBS News showed smoke rising from the area in the Westland district of the city near the DusitD2 spa hotel and office spaces. Nairobi police commander Philip Ndolo confirmed they had already cordoned off the area due to a suspected robbery.

A fitness trainer or a personal trainer has knowledge and can give prescribe exercise that will benefit the body and help you achieve the desired goal. Whether it is to get fit generally, or have a better health for playing sports or losing weight.
A fitness trainer at home will lead and motivate you to exercise, keeping in mind the right way of exercise and your fitness goals. As part of the fitness regime, a trainer instructs on the right kind of exercises that can have specific purpose, for instance just to tone the body, to lose belly fat, cardiovascular strength etc.
The basic difference between a fitness trainer and a dietician is the fact that the former deals with the body by enhancing the motor skills and the latter deals with the body by regulating the food you intake. A combination of two is an ideal situation and helps you achieve your fitness goals sooner.
Ideally, a dietician and a fitness trainer is the dream team that you need to keep a healthy body and mind. If you can only afford one, you can go with either as each expert will give you the basic advice on the other form of maintaining a healthy body.
Yes. Fitness routines are customised according to the goals you want to achieve. The general focus is to have a fit body and a habit that helps you sustain it.
Depending on your fitness goals, supplements are suggested by the trainer. Do not take any supplements against the advice or knowledge of the expert fitness trainer. An expert will also recommend brands and supplements that are safe to take.
Losing weight is not just a function of exercise but the diet as well. It also depends on how much weight do you intend to lose. A fitness trainer will also make recommendations on what basic diet you should go with while customising a routine that best works for you. You should be able to see visible results within a month.
Yes you can. UrbanClap gives you the chance to set up trial classes with a fitness trainer and get to know them completely. It is important for you to be able to trust and like you trainer to follow a routine that you will stick to.
You do not a discount per se but you will be charged the same (or similar) fee if you get a fitness expert individually or in a group. A group can always benefit in saving money as the cost will be distributed within the number of people in the group.
Rest assured our fitness trainers come cheaper than the market rates and can fit every budget. We give you an option to pick the price bracket you are most comfortable with and accordingly offer you the best choices in that price range.
The duration you have a personal trainer at home completely depends on your goals.

Usually a fitness routine starts as short sessions and amplify to an hour long one. On an average a fitness routine can last 60 minutes.
Depending on your goals, the fitness trainer will suggest the number of sessions and the duration of it to you. It is an ideal scenario to exercise your body daily. If you are pressed for time, check the best possible number that you should do with your fitness guru.
The qualification needed to become a good fitness trainer are available at graduation and post graduation level as well. There are many national and international certifications that is the mark of a good fitness trainer. All certifications/qualification and experience is listed in individual profiles of every fitness trainer on the website and the app.
Generally if your body is not used to exercise or you do not have a habit, you will experience pain and sore muscles. As the muscles stretch and become accustomed to a routine, the pain goes away. It is the first few days or a week of hump that you need to get past to get accustomed to a fitness routine. If the pain persists beyond that, immediately let your trainer know.

Moreover, we segregate the chosen experts into specific budget brackets based on their qualifications and experience. This ensures you get the best ones within your budget.
At Home, At Your Time: Our professionals reach you when you want them to. Their focus is on helping you meet your goals, and they make the effort to help you when you can devote some time for yourself. Moreover, the regimen they set for you is based on your needs. Depending on your goals and fitness levels, they may assign only cardio or Yoga for you or mix them with strength training as well.
Trial Sessions at Home: We offer a trial session at home so that you do not regret your choice. At UrbanClap, we understand that you have to be comfortable with the trainer before you can trust him or her to help you through such a personal experience. You should also talk to the trainer and ask them relevant questions so you can make the right choice.
Amazing Prices and Offers: Our plans start from as low as Rs. 6,000 per month for 12 sessions per month with our average prices being around Rs. 8,000 only. Moreover, the fitness trainers can give discounts based on how many sessions you do in a month. You can choose the trainer whose prices fit your budget and you can pay online on a monthly basis.
Some of you may wonder how hiring a personal trainer at home works better than having a gym instructor. This section helps you understand how each one works for you.
Type of Training: The gym instructor helps you train at the gym using the same schedule as they do for others. Though effective, it is more of a generic regimen. Have you ever noticed someone who was once overweight and then joined a gym and lost a lot of weight? If you think back, you will remember the lines around their face or arms that appeared suddenly with the weight loss. This is because they followed a general exercise schedule and not one that gave them the regimen they needed for slow and steady weight loss. A personal trainer or fitness coach can give you that.
Focus Area: The focus of the gym instructor is on everyone and not particularly on one individual. The good ones may still give helpful advice to novices and help them get started well but this is more of an exception rather than the norm. Unfortunately, the one-type-fits-all approach usually does not suit a lot of people. One of the main reasons why people skip going to the gym is the lack of this personal touch. A personal fitness trainer, on the other hand, focuses only on you. They consider all aspects like your previous fitness schedule, any dietary restrictions, your body type, etc. to devise a plan that works for you. The custom plan helps you get physically fit much faster. You also get expert attention on your challenges and the expert finds ways in which you can overcome them.
Type of Service: The gym instructors are pressed for time, as they have to manage their schedule for all people in the gym. From watching the beginners get used to the cross trainer to helping the professionals using the multi-gym with their weights, it is a rarity to find an instructor with free time on their hands. Even with full focus on their work, they are unable to give attention to everyone who needs them. Alternatively, the personal fitness coach only focuses on you. From checking whether you are breathing correctly when you go for a run to checking your posture when you do the lunges or squats, they are there to help you reach further and higher than you thought you could. The personal service obviously pays dividends and you end up getting a very good idea of what exercises are good for you, how you have to pace yourself and so on.
Fitness Regime: The fitness schedule in the gym is based on a generic approach to training. It focuses more on techniques and routines you have to follow. Moreover, the instructor brings her or her own version of routines that has worked for them. In certain instances, it may not work with you. You may find yourself suffering from a niggling pain the elbow that you realise belatedly is because you put more weight than what you ought to have used in the dumbbells. The approach that a personal trainer at home brings is more holistic and the routines and techniques are customised for you. For example, if you have a tendency to put on weight around the middle, then you get a different regimen as compared to another person who tends to accumulate fat near the thighs. Also, you may get a more sports-oriented approach as the personal trainers know that you can easily stay fit if you play a sport or use the same training as used in your favourite sports.
Goals Customised for You: Fitness goals should work for you and you should not have to adhere to generic goals of your gym class. Unfortunately, gym instructors cannot give their undivided attention to each of their students. Gyms counter this with class goals or group fitness schedules that set standard goals for everyone. Most cases, these goals are not possible for everyone to achieve. A personal trainer helps you set goals that make sense and are achievable. Lofty targets may look great but you may get burned up during the process. It does not make sense to give-it-all-you-got to achieve a strong goal and not enjoy the journey at all. If this is the case, you are likely to regress back into an unhealthy life as soon as the personal trainer's time with you is over. It is better to set goals that are achievable, ones that you want to accomplish and which make the whole fitness journey a memorable one.

On Point – The necessity for ROTC
by Briccio Domondon Jr.
The necessity for ROTC
IN his first State of the Nation Address, President Bongbong Marcos wasted no time in calling for Congress to enact a law making it mandatory for senior high students in all public and private tertiary level educational institutions to enroll in the military training program called Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC).
The president's call echoed earlier pronouncements made by Vice President Sara Duterte during the early part of this year when she posited the view that ROTC should be mandatory.
Of course, the operative word here is mandatory, considering that ROTC was never really abolished but was simply relegated and offered as an option when Republic Act 9163 or the National Service Training Program (NSTP) was enacted in 2002. Under the NSTP, students may choose ROTC, a literary training service, or civil welfare training service as required by the program.
Why do students need ROTC? Well, let us first find out why there is an ROTC in the first place. In the United States, the concept of ROTC was created by captain Alden Partridge who was a former West Point instructor who came up with the idea of a so-called "citizen soldier," who by definition is a man trained to act in a military capacity when his nation requires it but is also capable of fulfilling standard civilian functions during peacetime. Another genesis for the modern ROTC came from the "Plattsburg idea" which basically was a summer training camp for potential military officers at Plattsburg, New York and where business and professional men were drilled in military fundamentals. Supporters of this Plattsburg idea believed that it is better to be safe than sorry.
Here in the Philippines ROTC had its roots in the Commonwealth Act of 1935, otherwise known as the National Defense Act of 1935. That law provides for the employment of the nation's citizens and resources for national defense and to be affected by a national mobilization. It also provides that the said national mobilization shall be ordered in any case of threatened or actual aggression. Afterward, Article II of the said law then speaks of obligatory military service for all citizens. Subsequently, Republic Act No. 7077, otherwise known as the Citizens Armed Forces of the Philippines Reservist Act of 1991, established the ROTC.
One may argue that the prevailing situation in the country does not call for a mandatory ROTC, but if we would only look beyond our borders and see the stark reality of various power plays now being waged by military superpowers we may need to rethink our preparedness, and that of our citizens, in the event some opportunistic foreign nation will suddenly get the itch to invade us or encroach into our territorial jurisdiction and violate our sovereignty as a nation.
Take the case of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the Ukraine soldiers fighting to defend their land consist of – apart from professional soldiers – conscripts, ordinary citizens, and volunteers from other nations.
Now imagine a scenario where the Philippines is invaded by a foreign country and the president calls upon its citizens to defend the land as provided for in Section 4 Article II of the 1987 Philippine constitution which says, "The prime duty of the Government is to serve and protect the people. The Government may call upon the people to defend the State and, in the fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be required, under conditions provided by law, to render personal military or civil service." Would the Filipino citizens be prepared and able to defend their motherland similar to what is now happening in Ukraine? Are our youth enabled and capable of taking military action against a foreign aggressor when the need arises? Will they even have an iota of so-called military discipline required to organize themselves into cohesive groups such as platoons, battalions, and divisions to support and assist the Philippine military to repel the invaders?
If the war is reduced to a video game, a hip-hop or rap competition, a singing contest, an art competition, or a beauty contest, we might win it hands down. But in a violent military conflict where the very lives of the people are at stake, military knowledge becomes essential.
Finally, as has often been said "Si vis pacem, para bellum" or "if you want peace, prepare for war".

A noticed before, if one is planing to propose a project making use of ALMA as part of the Global 3mm VBLI Array (GMVA), please note that one mus also submit a the GMVA proposal via the NRAO PST before the 1st February deadline.
More information in the GMVA webpage.
Exciting news for ALMA Cycle 4, which has just been pre-announced. Many new capabilities are now anticipated, such as the use of the Atacama Compact Array alone or ALMA as a VLBI station. Breakthrough science will definitely arise as a result.
On 22nd March 2016, a call will be released, as well as the latest version of the ALMA Observing Tool, with which one will submit proposals until the deadline on 21st April 2016.
More detailed preliminary information on anticipated array capabilities and key dates for Cycle 4 are available here.
For any further information, do not hesitate to contact us by any of the provided contacts.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is now offering postdoctoral fellowship positions to join the ALMA science operations group. Fellows will be based in the Santiago Central Office in Chile, with eventual shifts to the ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF) near San Pedro de Atacama for real-time interaction with the telescope. Full details here.
Results from ALMA Long Baseline observations and from SPHERE, Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and other high-contrast adaptive optics (AO) instruments have given a taste of what to expect over the next few years in the fields of protoplanetary and debris disks, and planet formation. For the first time observations of the regions where planets form are achievable. The workshop will discuss the state-of-the-art results, offering a panchromatic view, with a balance between observations and theory. Discussions will be scheduled on how facilities, such as JWST, E-ELT and TMT, and advances in modeling, will advance the field of planetary formation.
Details are available from the workshop webpage.
A conference to be held at ESA/ESTEC on 12—15 April 2016, which will cover all astrophysical aspects of water, including the water trail, from the formation of water in molecular clouds to water on planetary bodies, including in our own solar system; water as a probe of physics and and chemistry; and water in nearby to water in extra-galactic and high redshift sources.
More information at the conference website. Abstract submission deadline on 11th December.
After the communication in August of the ALMA Cycle-3 proposal review outcome to the PIs, the ALMA consortium has recently made available the list of high priority projects and a report on the proposal review process. While the former lists the A- and B-graded projects, along with the respective PI, co-Is, and abstract, the latter describes the review process along with interesting statistics (such as requested facility specifications, science categories interest, …).
We would like to highlight a milestone achieved by the Portuguese community via the acceptance (A-grade) of the proposal PI'ed by David Sobral (based at IA), focused on the recently discovered high-redshift galaxy with PopIII-like stellar populations. In addition, the Portuguese community is involved (in co-authorship) in six other high-priority and two filler (C-graded) proposals. We also highlight the proposal PI'ed by Elisabete da Cunha (based at Swinburne University, Australia) which was also considered to be of high priority via the very over-subscripted Open-Skies time.
We take the chance to call your attention to the recent ALMA status report and the results of the ALMA Cycle-3 user survey.
We hope these very successful results make you even more eager to apply for ALMA time in Cycle 4! We will be here to help you!

On Thursday, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX among others, announced to the public that he already acquired 'verbal approval' from the government to build a multi-state underground Hyperloop transit system.
The alleged Hyperloop transit project would be run by Musk through his tunneling venture, The Boring Company, and it will connect major U.S. cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC.
City center to city center in each case, with up to a dozen or more entry/exit elevators in each city
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 20, 2017
The Tesla executive did not divulge any other detail about the 'approved' Hyperloop project except that it will have several city stops "with up to a dozen or more entry/exit elevators in each."
Musk's pronouncements caused a stir among various government agencies. According to The Guardian, several spokespersons from different states and federal government bodies laughed upon hearing the claim.

"Elon Musk has had no contact with Philadelphia officials on this matter," Mike Dunn, a city spokesman said. He further added:
"We do not know what he means when he says he received 'verbal government approval.' There are numerous hurdles for this unproven 'Hyperloop' technology before it can become a reality."
Another spokesman for the Maryland Department of Transportation was quoted as saying:
"Who gave him permission to do that?"
Over an hour after Musk made his initial tweet, he tried to retract his claims by tweeting: "Still a lot of work needed to receive formal approval, but am optimistic that will occur rapidly."
The tech mogul's announcement received different reactions from people that he gladly addressed through his Twitter account.
Support would be much appreciated!
An underground Hyperloop would mean no disruption above ground and be way faster, so I think it is he right way to go
Musk also encouraged everyone to let their local and federal representatives know about his project to expedite the process.
"If you want this to happen fast, please let your local & federal elected representatives know. Makes a big difference if they hear from you," one of Musk's tweets read.
The Hyperloop Concept
Musk is considered one of the most aggressive technology innovators today. His business ventures span across different fields such as artificial intelligence, space exploration, and transportation.
In 2013, Musk published the Hyperloop Alpha concept. According to Musk, the innovation will cut the travel time between San Francisco and Los Angeles to 35 minutes at a price of $20 for a one-way trip. He also added that the experience would feel like being on an airplane.
In a separate blog post, Musk said that he came up with the concept of Hyperloop out of his frustrations with the $68 billion USD California high-speed rail project. A part of the blog post read:
"When the California "high speed" rail was approved, I was quite disappointed, as I know many others were too. How could it be that the home of Silicon Valley and JPL – doing incredible things like indexing all the world's knowledge and putting rovers on Mars – would build a bullet train that is both one of the most expensive per mile and one of the slowest in the world?"
How Hyperloop Works
Hyperloop makes use of low-pressure steel tubes where passenger capsules would travel through. According to the initial concept, the capsules or pods can zoom at high subsonic speeds that can reach up to 760 mph.

The pods would be powered by magnetic linear accelerators that will be given periodic boosts by a built-in linear induction motor attached to the tube and pods.

According to Musk, the journey would be frictionless due to a cushion of compressed air between the cars and the tube's inner surface. Aside from that, the Hyperloop will be powered by solar panels that will enable it to generate more than enough energy for it to operate.
Hyperloop Development
Musk's Hyperloop concept was adopted by several companies such as Hyperloop One. On May 12th of this year, the said company which was founded by Silicon Valley investor Shervin Pishevar conducted its very first full-scale Hyperloop test. The test was run at DevLoop, the Hyperloop test track built by the company in the Nevada Desert.
During the test, the Hyperloop prototype was able to coast above the first portion of the track for 5.3 seconds using magnetic levitation. It also reached almost 2Gs of acceleration and achieved the Phase 1 target speed of 70mph.
Aside from that, Hyperloop One also unveiled their first passenger capsule or pod prototype dubbed as XP-1. The pod is 28 feet in length and made of structural aluminum.

As of now, Hyperloop One is developing Hyperloop system routes in the United States, Finland, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates, with a goal of delivering a fully operational system by 2021.

Location was great, close to all cafes, shops and restaurant, as well as the beach and marina.
Bed was really comfortable. Rooms was a good size. Staff were amazing!
The location was in close walking distance to restaurants and shops. Great for families as the park saw across the road.
The location is great, right opposite the marina. It was also very quiet.
The on site restaurant featured good food, friendly service, and alfresco dining near the swish condos and yachts.

It was filthy and over priced and did not look anything like the website promoted it as. Our room had filthy floors and walls and a smell. We booked a pet friendly room and had to pay $50 cleaning fee but the room was already filthy. My shitzu was cleaner than the room. I had 2 nights booked and had to stay Night 1 as we had kids and had no other option that late in the night. the staff were helpful to cancel the 2nd night but after I showed them photos of the room they could not provide me with a discount or even a refund for the first night. I am emailing the photos today and will speak with the manager Friday when she is next in and will post a result here to what they did to address the issue. I have never complained about a room in 46 yrs. This was disgraceful!
Room was only partly serviced each day. Towels were changed and only minimal toiletries were provided. Beds were NOT made, nor was the tea, coffee or milk in fridge refilled on any of the three days. Coffee cups and glasses were not replaced with clean ones either.
Location was great. Reception welcome was good, professional and friendly.
Bed was old.... sheets didn't cover the bed..... room shabby..... staff disinterested.
Great location. Easy check in and check out.
A balcony door that wasn't broken so you could slide it easily and maybe even lock it would have been handy. Queen size sheets for the queen size bed may be a good investment and would be far more comfortable for guests, it was a bit odd having a bottom sheet that only covered half of the bed. It isn't very hygienic either.
Smelly bathrooms, falsely advertised online.


Not too long ago one of our clients "Rachel" called in to tell us how thankful she was. She was so thankful because she had been on our waitlist to have some cleaning done at her house, and a young family had just come to help.
She said that she was so thankful "for having things like these in our community" and that "the family was really nice". It is in moments like these that we are reminded just how valuable our efforts, and the efforts of our volunteers are. To be able to grant someone a small reprieve from a worry is a valuable gift and one that they are clearly thankful for, even if they do not always articulate it.
