I often hear in the gym or read on forums about people who are not sure how to work hard at weight training. They don't know why they don't sweat as much or feel as exhausted as they do when they do their 'cardio'. They feel like they are not getting as much out of their weight training as their 'cardio' sessions.
There are a number of reasons why this is the case, and a number of ways to fix it!
Most people when they first start weight training are not strong enough to really make their bodies work hard. They haven't acquired enough skill in the exercise to perform it with sufficient load to cause a significant effect. When I say 'skill' I don't just mean their lifting form but the neural and motor skill required to perform the movement.
A solution to this is to perform high reps (more than 10) in order to get more practise at the movement and to keep the rest periods short so that you build up your heartrate and get a sweat on. A circuit-style mode of training will accomplish this: move from exercise to exercise with very little rest in between, and try to perform all your reps as well and fully as possible.
I saw a guy in the gym yesterday doing a Crossfit-style workout consisting of deadlifts and dumbbell chest press in a ladder of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, i.e. he would do ten deadlifts, then ten chest presses, then nine deadlifts, nine chest presses and so on. He took minimal rest between sets and boy was he sweating buckets! He had a great workout, lifted a lot of weight and had that 'exercise high' at the end of it.
Cheating on range of motion is one of the most common reasons why people don't progress in the gym or feel like they've worked hard. It usually happens towards the end of a set; as the exercise gets harder, people start to compromise, not go as deep, not pull back quite as far, let other parts of the body compensate. But when it gets difficult is precisely when you need to pay most attention to form. That's when you'll 'feel it', that's when the adaptation occurs.
The same is true of sets. You often see people do several easy warm up sets and then struggle with and massively compromise on their heaviest set. Doing perfect warm up sets and then wussing out on the work set isn't going to make you feel like you worked hard – or indeed stimulate the results you want.
This is a common issue with those who are training for hypertrophy. They do their standard 'three sets of ten', but rush through the reps trying to get them over with as soon as possible. If you slow the reps right down, you will really 'feel' it in your muscles, both during the work and the next day!
This notion of 'time under tension' is promulgated by Charles Poliquin, who recommends for hypertrophy 30 to 70 seconds. For example, in a set of ten chest presses, each rep would need to last at least three seconds (e.g. down for two, up for one) in order for the muscles to be under tension for 30 seconds.
The HIT (High Intensity Training) method involves a similar principle as it utilises very slow eccentric contractions, up to ten seconds long.
If you want to feel like you are working hard, less rest is one of the easiest ways to do it. I'm not just talking about rest between sets, but rest between exercises. Do you move from one exercise to the next briskly, or do you faff about getting a drink of water, chatting to a friend, waiting for the machine to be free and so on? Examine your entire workout and strip out any extraneous rest. My weightlifting coach always says to me, if you've got enough breath to talk, you've got enough breath to do your next set.
If you do the same exercises at the same tempo and the same weight week after week, your body will adapt and you won't 'feel it' any more. You need to keep progressing, whether that is number of sets, weight lifted, number of reps, choice of exercises or total time against the clock.
There's no law which says you must do three sets of ten for hypertrophy, or you must do heavy triples in the deadlift to get stronger. Even experienced lifters will change their programmes every so often, to get a new type of stimulus.
I did a bodyweight circuit yesterday, which I haven't done for months. Man, did I feel it the next day! But that doesn't mean I worked harder than I do in my olympic weightlifting workouts, it just means that it was something different.
It is a fact that people get addicted to high intensity cardiovascular exercise. It produces lovely endorphins that make you feel great and there are lots of encouraging external signs that you have worked hard, from sweating to rolling on the floor out of breath.
Weight training is a slightly different animal and you might just have to get used to that fact. How much you sweat is no indication of how fit you are, how strong you are, or how hard you've worked.
Beginners will tend to recover fully from workout to workout, so how tired you feel is not always a reliable indicator. Soreness is also not a reliable indicator of how hard you have worked. I squat well over bodyweight four times a week without feeling sore, but ten sets of lunges with 12kg kettlebells the other day had me reaching for the foam roller. The squats are harder on the system than the lunges, but I'm adapted to them so I don't get as sore.
If you are making progress each workout, whether in terms of weight lifted or reps completed or whatever, that means that your body is working and adapting.
I've been training with weights in one form or another for more than ten years. I reckoned I knew how to train. But a few months ago my coaches said to me, "Sally, you're not working hard enough". It took me a while to figure out what they meant. After all, I was coming to the gym, doing my programme, lifting big weights.
Finally I figured out that it was to do with my personal focus and intensity. Working hard in the gym means giving 100 per cent focus and effort to every single lift, every single rep. This is very hard to do and very rare. Many people, including myself, think that they are doing this when they aren't. It is a skill in itself and I for one am still learning it.
This is so true…I use to work out the same routine everyday for years with not much in the way of results. Then i got a personal trainer that explained muscle memory and the importance of mixing it up. Ever since then I'm seeing alot of changes. Good ones!! Keep it up..goals can be reached with determination.
Good points from you and Russell. Many of the muscles are dependent upon eachother so it is important that we consistently exercise all of them, not just a few of them. I always see guys doing curls and all biceps exercises because they only care about their arms looking big so that they can wear the new ed hardy tshirt 4 sizes too small, instead of actually gaining some valuable health benefits out of working out.

Q: 2d array giving wrong output I was writing a code to print all the strings stored in 2d array after the user has finished typing the strings along with mentioning the maxlength of each string and total number strings (it will finally print the string along with the line number). The problem is that the code actually stores all the strings in the 2d array with one whole line of spacing i.e, one full empty row. The code, expected output and the output it is giving is below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char s[20][30];
    int i, number_of_strings, length_of_string, j = 0;
    scanf("%d %d", &number_of_strings, &length_of_string);

    for (i = 0; i<number_of_strings; i++) {
        while ((s[i][j++] = getchar()) != '\n' && j<length_of_string)
            s[i][j] = '\0';
        j = 0;
    }

    for (i = 0; i<number_of_strings; i++) {
        printf("i= %d   %s\n", i, s[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

Sample Input:
2 3
raj
jar

Expected Output:
i= 0   raj
i= 1   jar

Output giving:
i= 0

i= 1   raj
i= 2

i= 3   jar

Please rectify where am I doing mistake.

A: You've hit one of the many issues with scanf. In this case scanf("%d %d", ...) is leaving a newline on the buffer. You can get it to slurp in trailing whitespace with a space on the end.
scanf("%d %d ", &number_of_strings , &length_of_string);

Then how you're reading a line is complicated. You can simplify it like so:
 int c, j;
 for(j = 0; (c = getchar()) != '\n'; j++ ) {
     s[i][j] = (char)c;
 }
 s[i][j] = '\0';

Or even simpler...
for(int i=0 ; i<number_of_strings ; i++) {
    scanf("%29s", s[i]);
}

And there's no need for length_of_string. In fact, it's a liability since you've only allocated 30 bytes max. Similarly, number_of_strings can be higher than the allocated 20. It's better to read until input or memory is exhausted.
#include <stdio.h>

const int MAX_STRINGS = 20;
const int MAX_LENGTH = 30;
int main(){
    char s[MAX_STRINGS][MAX_LENGTH];
    int num_strings;
    for(num_strings = 0; num_strings < MAX_STRINGS ; num_strings++) {
        if( scanf("%29s", s[num_strings]) < 1 ) {
            break;
        }
    }

    for( int i = 0 ; i < num_strings; i++){
        printf("i= %d   %s\n",i,s[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

Pathology of balloon-expandable and self-expanding stents following MRI-guided transapical aortic valve replacement
Bogdan A. Kindzelski, Ming Li, Dumitru Mazilu, Keith Horvath
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Balloon-expandable (BE) and self-expanding (SE) prostheses are both used for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), but differences in long-term outcome using these types of device are unknown. The study aim was to monitor the histopathology, echocardiographic findings and structural integrity of BE and SE stents in a preclinical model for up to six months after TAVR.
METHODS: Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI)-guided TAVR was performed in 22 Yucatan pigs using either a BE (n = 10) or a SE (n = 12) prosthesis. Follow up echocardiography and MRI studies were performed at one-, three-, and six-month intervals. Additionally, high-contrast radiography was used to assess for strut fractures. The pigs were sacrificed after six months and tissues taken for histopathologic analysis.
RESULTS: Stent malapposition was found in seven BE prostheses (70%), and in three SE prostheses (25%) (p = 0.046). Three of the SE group (25%) had a partial left coronary artery obstruction. The incidence and severity of aortic regurgitation were similar between the BE and SE groups. Three BE prostheses (30%) and one SE prosthesis (8.3%) had a gap between the stent frame and aorta. The mean (±SD) number of strut fractures was 6.1 ± 3.45 and 1.17 ± 2.32 in the BE and SE groups, respectively (p = 0.002). In addition, two implanted BE prostheses (20%) had a consequential compressed stent frame appearance.
CONCLUSION: Long-term pathologic examination of necropsy specimens from a preclinical model of rtMRI-guided TAVR showed SE stent prostheses to be superior to their BE counterparts in terms of correct valve apposition and durability. These results may be attributed to the differing deployment methods and associated expansion forces employed by the BE and SE stents.

Skills developed at the Spårvägen club, Ulf Thorsell died suddenly at his home in Albufeira Portugal on Tuesday 8th June.
Born on Sunday 18th March 1956, he was 65 years old.
Ulf Thorsell was the golden boy, the prodigy. At the 1973 European Youth Championships staged in Athens, he fell just one step short of a full house.
Alongside Thomas Berg, Christer Hafn and Per Sandström, junior boys' team gold was secured, later he partnered Christer Hafn to junior boys' doubles success, prior winning the boys' singles event. Significantly in the final he beat England's Desmond Douglas, a player against whom he was overcome on more than one occasion in the future; the Englishman always found it difficult find a rhythm against the Swede.
The one elusive title in Athens was the mixed doubles, partnering Ann-Christin Hellman, the duo experienced defeat in the final, somewhat ironically when confronting Desmond Douglas and Linda Howard (Jarvis).
Later Ulf Thorsell was to enjoy success as a member of the Swedish men's team and became a very celebrated name; a player, Petra Sörling, President of the Swedish Table Tennis Association, held in high esteem.
"Very sad news for Sweden and the table tennis family. He was my idol and one of the greatest sportsman who inspired the golden generation. He was also a mentor and role model and always prepared for the task no matter what level of match it was. Rest In Peace." Petra Sörling
Bronze was gained at the 1975 World Championships in Kolkata and two years later in Birmingham. At the European Championships in 1976 in Prague, it was silver, gold in 1980 in Bern.
A member of the team in Bern was Ulf "Tickan" Carlsson.
"I am shocked Uffe has died, it was far too early. We had a very difficult start but in Bern then everything rolled on. It's a nice memory. Uffe was a professional and an early mentor for me alongside Stellan Bengtsson. We have not met in several years and of course it feels extra sad now that he has passed away." Ulf Carlsson

Also present in Bern, in addition to Stellan Bengtsson and Erik Lindh was a young 18 year old, Mikael Appelgren, the player who was win four gold medals at the World Championship and nine at the European Championships.
"It feels terrible. Uffe was five years older than me and took good care of younger players. He was good, trained hard. Also, he also showed the way for other Swedish players; in 1979 he became Sweden's first professional in Germany. He played for Reutlingen. I went there the following year. Now his heart stopped. It feels very heavy right now. My family spent close times with Uffe's family for many years. We became close friends even outside of table tennis." Mikael Appelgren.
A great help to Mikael Appelgren, also Ulf Thorsell influenced another celebrated Swede.
"He has meant a lot to Swedish table tennis, not least for Mikael Appelgren and Jan-Ove Waldner who trained against him in Spårvägen." Erik Lindh
Success as a member of the Swedish men's team; individually success also came the way of Ulf Thorsell; in 1980 in Munich he was runner up in the Europe Top 12, the winner, Stellan Bengtsson.
In 1981, following the World Championships in Novi Sad, Ulf Thorsell departed the international stage and moved to Portugal.
He is mourned by his former partner Eva and their children Daniel and Elin.

Like pebbles in a pool: the effects of Community Sponsorship (UK)
IRiS's Prof Jenny Phillimore and Dr Marisol Reyes published a report detailing the wider effects of the Community Sponsorship Scheme (UK), with knowledge about, and attitudes to, refugees in less-diverse communities.
Professor Jenny Phillimore and Dr Marisol Reyes from the Institute for Research into Superdiversity (IRiS) have published a report detailing the wider effects of the Community Sponsorship Scheme (CSS) in the UK, including knowledge about, and attitudes to, refugees in less-diverse communities.
Local residents expressed positive opinions about the impact of CSS and refugee families in their locality. Those with direct contact found they benefited, emotionally and intellectually, from their encounters with refugees. Individuals working with refugees in a professional capacity found their work rewarding and enjoyed working in new ways and sharing their learning. CSS volunteers frequently built the foundations for positive outcomes paving the way for CSS to act as a quiet force for change, pushing back against concerns generated by negative media. The impact of CSS was found to go beyond the effects on refugee families and the CSS group volunteers who support them.
Looking to the future, a multidisciplinary team from IRiS, City Redi and the School of Geography, at the University of Birmingham, has been granted Research England funding for the study 'Supporting the development of Community Sponsorship policy and practice: from local to global'. The project builds upon the College of Social Sciences seed corn funded Community Sponsorship Evaluation which has been highly influential in the UK as well as further afield. For the next three months the team will be interviewing Community Sponsorship volunteers and refugee families across the UK with the aim of providing knowledge for practitioners, sponsors and policymakers about the levels of support needed for refugees and volunteers and working to influence the new UK Community Sponsorship programme being launched later in 2020.
This research is also aiming to put down the foundations for a global community of scholarly practice in Community Sponsorship research which will come together to examine the potential to compare findings and prepare a proposal for undertaking systematic comparative research.

indicated they experienced significant growth in their sense of purpose and role, with 93% of those indicating that PLS had a significant impact.
expressed significant growth in their belief of what they could accomplish as leaders for social change after the program.
Scholars consistently reported remarkable growth in skills, responsibilities, and opportunities for impact.
Through personal leadership projects (PLPs), Scholars apply the skills they developed through Presidential Leadership Scholars to increase their impact as leaders. Projects range from improving our nation's schools, supporting military members transitioning to civilian life, bringing poverty relief to communities around the globe, and implementing practical business solutions to enhance entrepreneurship opportunities.
86% of Scholars have made progress toward their goals.
We recently led the successful charge on a common application system for high schools throughout Chicago Public Schools to ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities. Already more than 80% of the rising 27,000 eighth graders have applied to schools through one comprehensive system.
Over the past three years, Rally Point/6 served over 26,000 service members, veterans, and military family members. In the first full year of operations, we formed a strategic partnership with the USO scaling the model into five major military installations. In 2017, RP/6 was acquired by the USO. RP/6 was re-branded as the Pathfinder Program and is now expanding, serving military and military families globally.
I've impacted 2,000 women and their families through vocational training, jobs, and savings; graduated 40 leaders in our fashion incubator and school in Cambodia; and won a court case (a child was murdered) in one of the most corrupt states in India. PLS has given me encouragement from peers, expanded my network, support financially through Nomi Network's gala, and advice from peers and peer affiliates.
EveryoneOn has connected more than 500,000 people in 48 states and will connect a total of one million by the end of 2020. PLS has allowed me to deeply focus on conquering the digital divide in rural America.
Our organization, since we founded it in 2012, has created access to neighborhood-based primary care for over 35,000 adults on Medicare and Medicaid living in medically underserved communities. Presidential Leadership Scholars gave me a practical understanding of my values and a leadership framework that helped me, as an individual leader, become a better member of the team and a better advocate for our team's mission: To rebuild health care as it should be, personal, equitable, and accountable.
Across all cohorts, Scholars have personal experiences that help them grow to better understand, respect, and appreciate the presidents and their achievements.
Every Year, hundreds of high-performing leaders apply to be Presidential Leadership Scholars and go through a competitive application and interview process. Meet our current scholars.
Learn how the program challenges and inspires its scholars to lead lasting, positive change.


1 Infants learn to move and interact with their environment through experience: what they learn and how fast they learn is influenced by the interaction between factors situated within the infant (physical and psychosocial ) and the opportunities for learning provided by the social and physical environment.
3 Learning occurs when the infant is interested, motivated and engaged. It is an active process of exploration of options for achieving a goal.
4 Learning is task specific: we learn what we practice.
4 Infant learning is a progressive process - new abilities expand and elaborate on established task specific abilities and knowledge.
Lets consider how the following, and similar, question neglects these princples: "What are your favorite ball activities for young children with global developmental delay?"
My response to this question is: That depends on my assessment of the children's ball handling abilities, progressing from the simplest tasks of intercepting a rolled ball and throwing a ball at a large target.
Ball activities require visual pickup of information from the environment for planning actions, as well as sustained attention for staying on task. So I am also interested in how I can best structure the social environment to promote visual attention as well as sustained engagement in the task.
Another aspect of my assessment would be exploring how I can structure my session with the children to allow them choices to enhance their sense of having some control over their own actions. Just allowing a child to decide between a yellow and a blue ball can make a difference.
Max understands the task, waits for me to position the bottles, leans forward to align the ball with the bottles and throws.
By carefully analyzing all the factors that affect child's ability to perform ball related activities using a task-child-environment approach, I can select activities that are appropriate and adapt the tasks and environment to allow the child to succeed.
In this way I know that I am making the most effective use of the time I share with the child or children, and that I am able to progressively adapt the tasks to improve the child's ball handling abilities.


In the previous Topic "General Electrical Design Requirements for Commercial Building", I explain the types of Commercial building and the general outlines of electrical requirements for these buildings.
Today, I will explain in detail the specific Electrical Requirements for Commercial Buildings which must be known for any engineer wants to learn or practice the electrical design engineering.
Simplification of operational management by transparent, simple power system structures.
Low costs for power losses, e.g. by medium-voltage-side power transmission to the load centers.
High reliability of supply and operational safety of the installations even in the event of individual equipment failures (redundant supply, selectivity of the power system protection, and high availability).
Easy adaptation to changing load and operational conditions.
Low operating costs thanks to maintenance-friendly equipment.
Sufficient transmission capacity of equipment during normal operation and also in the event of a fault, taking future expansions into account.
Good quality of the power supply, i.e. few voltage changes due to load fluctuations with sufficient voltage symmetry and few harmonic distortions in the voltage.
Compliance with applicable standards and project related stipulations for special installations.
High reliability and quality of supply.
Favorable and flexible expansion options.
Easy monitoring of the power system.
Easy and clear power system protection.
In this course , EE-1: Beginners' Electrical design course , We will study the famous power system architectures for the commercial buildings which can be counted as references can be modified/ extended to meet specific customer project requirements.
In the next topic, I will begin to explain these famous power system architectures for the commercial buildings. So, please keep following.


TheresaLynn is a 26 year old (DOB: January 24, 1993) half-blood wizard living in Hogwarts. He wields a 14½" Cherry, Ashwinder Ash wand, and is a member of the unsorted masses of Hogwarts students just off the train eagerly crowding around the Sorting Hat. His favorite Harry Potter book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and his favorite Harry Potter character is Sirius Black.


By Crossing a Fire toad and a Mini Minotaur you will get this awesome beauty. Of course the first words out of my mouth were: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" Sorry I just could not resist.
Whoever created this pet, from concept to skin and animation needs a serious raise. 5 Stars.
Aye Chrissy, I had the same "You shall not pass!" reaction when I walked into the Morphing Tent and saw Kelsey standing there with a Bullrog! This is one of the most amazing pets I've ever seen, and possibly my favorite reference in the entire game. I seriously hope I get a Bullrog soon, but lately my luck with hybrids has been absolutely terrible!
Agreed. Whoever created this awesome did an unbelievable job. This is actually the COOLEST pet ever in-game now. I don't know how you guys can beat this. Amazing!!! It's also a great Lord of the Rings reference which is great. It also reminded me of the Diablo game I used to play when I was a teenager which was in the days of dial-ups.
In case you wanted to know what the super amazing Bullrog's egg looks like - Check Here. It is a mysterious orange egg with dark navy/black spots.
And again of course, it has been added to our Pirate101 Hybrid Pets page for easy viewing. Check it out here.
So that makes 12 hybrids discovered so far without including the Skull Island Macaw and (Blue) Ostrich. Can't wait for us to discover 15th, 20th hybrid.
PS: Duncan Stormthief brought up an interesting hybrid theory. Imperial Lion + Tawny Sky Turtle = Lion Turtle. It could be a reference to Avatar? Something you guys should try out!
Um, where do you get a fire toad?
Oh my gosh, if they Lion Turtle exist as a reference to Avatar, I would totally fangirl!!!
This Pet is incredible, I must admit. One of the best pets yet, although both the corrupted pets are awesome too, and the heck kitty is so adorable. So many great pets, the team is doing an amazing job.
Nice job finding the hybrid! I'm not a big fan of its appearance if I have to be honest... But whatever.
Oh I am not the first to discover it. There were rumors flying around Twitter (Yes pun totally intended ) the day before about a "Demon Bull" being sighted then one of the flock announced the name and parentage. I got to morphing right away and waited a day for the discoverer to post but no one did so I posted without stating that I was the discoverer.
The pun is mine-- but all the credit for the actual hard work goes to our Art team.
Our Art Lead has been playing the live game for about 2 weeks now, desperate to be the first player to have the Bullrog.
He finally got his on Friday-- was he first?
That would time about right with the Twitter Demon Bull sightings. Perhaps his was the start of the rumor mill going and the flurry of fire toad and minotaur pairings?
I LOVE this Hybrid......wow, it is fantastically and fiendishly designed. I must admit that although I really enjoy the cute and cuddly type of pets in the game, I was sooooo hoping for something a bit more sinister and ferocious looking to assist my pirates in battle. Boy does the Bullrog deliver. When it appears in battle I can just 'hear' Moo Manchu timidly and squeamishly saying...."HOLY COW!"
It took me about a dozen tries to get this beast of a battle buddy, but through the process I was rewarded with a 640 pedigree Flaming, Raging BullRog that finally hatched with it's nostrils already flared. And Ratbeard, you have absolutely got to let our pirates wield the Bullrog's weapon-- IT IS TRULY EPIC and a thing of brutal beauty. Valkoor would go frog wild if he got his hands on the Bullrog's weapon. Hey, if our pirate and the pet Mini-Minotaur can have matching weapons, why not a pirate version of the Bullrog weapon? Man this pet has got me toad-ally fired up, and that's no bull!
Again, this pet is purely amazing. Way to go KI, I simply can't imagine it being topped.....but I so would like to see you guys and gals try!
The Bullrog is without a doubt the coolest pet imo!
However, he does not seem to want to be a part of my team. 21 fails and counting.
how do you know when the morph for a bullrog was successful?
The egg will be a Mysterious orange with dark spots. After 5 minutes though, seeing this little lovely in your pet line up will be a great clue.
I am tickled and had to share. My new bulrog just went up to lv20 and expressed rare power Vampiric Gaze (range of 6, drains health and gains 50% of health drained) which isn't even listed in the wiki!

Q: Front-end + Back-end development I've been really getting into Ruby on Rails. I want make great apps that don't just function well but look really nice as well, and I'm worried I might not pick the right front-end language to compliment RoR development. My question is how do you simultaneously prepare for both back-end and front-end? Summer is coming up and I'm already enrolled in a few RoR classes, but am trying to choose some great front-end courses as well. Appreciate any guidance

A: Sam --
TLDR; Know HTML and CSS like the back of your hand.  Spend time learning intermediate and advanced javascript.  Its libraries are powerful, its frameworks provide a rich client experience, and its not going away anytime soon.
I've been a RoR developer for two years.  When I was first learning Ruby, and coding principles in general, its common to want to learn and learn all kinds of different stuff.  While it's tempting, I would suggest the opposite -> Hyperfocus.
Rails is a robust framework, spend some time with it.  I will agree that Rails views are very bare bones and I do not like the way they organize javascript and stylesheet logic.  It is very loose.  But, unless you're building a huge app, organizing .js and .css files isn't super important.
As far as looks go, html and css are the backbone.  There's literally a javascript library for everything you could want to do from a UI/UX perspective, so focus on intermediate/advanced js.  That will make opening doors to robust client side js frameworks like angular, ember, and backbone much easier down the road using Rails as simply an API.
Lastly, one of the hardest things to find in the industry is a great designer who can also code, or a great software engineer who can also design.  If you really care about UI/UX get some books on fundamental web design principles; they go a long way.

A: Well, I encourage you to first code a few apps with the default rails stack and after that start to poke other front end options with rails as back end api.
Stay comfortable with rails first, has a lot of good tools and is enough for most of the apps you may want to build, mainly on the first stage of your learning path.

O Grêmio Esportivo Atibaiense é um clube brasileiro de futebol, com sede na cidade de Atibaia, no estado de São Paulo. Fundado em 21 de novembro de 1934 por funcionários da Companhia Têxtil Brasileira, com o nome de Associação Atlética Cetebê. Seu uniforme principal é formado por camisa azul e calção branco. Teve doze participações no Campeonato Paulista e atualmente é também um clube social, recreativo e esportivo.

História
Em 1964, no seu segundo ano de profissionalismo, o Cetebê mudou o nome para Grêmio Esportivo Atibaiense, que mantém até hoje.

É mais conhecido na cidade por "Grêmio". Até o surgimento do Sport Club Atibaia, o Grêmio Esportivo Atibaiense era a principal equipe que Atibaia já teve no Campeonato Paulista, com 12 participações, entre os anos de 1963 e 1991, sempre nas divisões menores.

Ao longo dos anos, o Grêmio Esportivo Atibaiense mudou a cor do seu uniforme várias vezes, o azul e o vermelho iam e voltavam com extrema facilidade - a razão pode ser a sua origem, o tricolor Cetebê.

Atualmente o clube encontra-se afastado das competições oficiais, disputando competições de base, como a Paulista Cup e a Interclubes.

Estádio Luiz Passador

O estádio Luiz Passador pertence ao Grêmio Esportivo Atibaiense, e é o maior estádio particular de Atibaia. Seu nome deriva do gerente da Companhia Têxtil Brasileira, sr. Luís Passador, que foi um forte incentivador da criação desta agremiação. O estádio possui capacidade aproximada de 1500 espectadores e foi construído na época com o auxílio de diversos funcionários voluntários da extinta CTB.

Participações em estaduais
 Campeonato Paulista de Futebol - Série A3— 4 (quatro): 1981, 1982, 1986, 1987
 Campeonato Paulista de Futebol - Segunda Divisão — 8 (oito): 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991

Kite surfers assisted by Rhyl RNLI on downwind challenge.
25 Kite surfers had set off from Pensarn on a charity downwind challenge to the windfarms and back.Rhyl All-weather lifeboat had just launched on exercise.
Just after the boat had launched at 3.45pm, the Launching Authority at the boathouse noticed one kite surfer struggling to regain control and settling in the water, about two miles west of the station. The UK coastguard at Holyhead were informed, and the all-weather lifeboat was diverted to the scene. The man had become detached from his board and was drifting in the water when the lifeboat came alongside. He was taken on board the lifeboat together with all his lines and kite. Just as this was completing, the crew spotted a kite surfer going in the wrong direction towards Llandudno, and asked Holyhead coastguard to alert the local coastguard teams to monitor his progress.
Some ten minutes after picking up the first kite surfer, another two were spotted back towards Rhyl, both lying in the water. The lifeboat crew immediately went to them, and both them and their kites were taken on board the lifeboat. It was then thought prudent for the lifeboat to stay at sea as long as the casualties aboard were well and safe, until all kites had reached landfall at Rhyl.
The kite surfer going towards Llandudno was eventually spotted by Rhyl coastguard volunteers, as he made landfall at Towyn, and he was monitored as he walked back on the beach towards Rhyl.
Eventually all kite surfers were accounted for and the lifeboat returned to station at 5.55pm, no medical assistance being required.
The associated picture shows the three kites on board the lifeboat after returning to station.

Stay styling this summer with the perfect pair of shades that gives back! Here are three brands that sell high quality sunglasses while making a positive impact!
Warby Parker sunglasses are stylish and personable. With glasses starting at $95 this is a great option to add some flare to your summer style. Warby Parker is a great option for those who need prescription sunglasses (including myself, haha) with a variety of styles and colors. Warby Parker sunglasses can be found in their stores across America or online. Through their incredible FREE Home Try-On Program, customers can find their perfect pair of summer shades in the comfort of their own home.
According to Warby Parker, 2.5 billion people around the world need glasses but don't have access to them; of these, 624 million cannot effectively learn or work due to the severity of their visual impairment. Through Warby Parker's partnership with VisionSpring, for each pair of glasses sold, a pair is donated to someone in need. VisionSpring is a non-profit that trains low-income men and women to effectively provide eye exams and sell glasses at an affordable price. Warby Parker and VisionSpring want to empower individuals, giving them the tools necessary for success rather than strictly donating glasses. I was incredibly impressed when I went into the Warby Parker store. The customer service was wonderful and they were able to provide me with specific details about their current give back initiatives.
Dynamikos creates unique style through their bold design and high quality product. Dynamikos has a variety of frames including premium acetate, metal, and a combination of both. Each pair of Dynamikos acetate frames are non-allergenic, 100% biodegradable, 100% recyclable, & 100% petroleum free. The shades have a CR39 lenses which have a scratch resistant coating and are resistant to gamma radiation, material fatigue, aging and most chemicals. These high end glasses rang from around $185-$300.
Personally, I am SO in love with my Cleopatra Clear Champagne Sunglasses from Dynamikos. These sunglasses are incredibly well-made and durable. I think the oversized look is fun & dramatic, along with being the perfect accessory for any outfit.
Dynamikos sets aside 20% of net profits to donate to their nonprofit partners. Dynamikos partners with Helen Keller International to provide eye screenings & eyewear for children in need in the Los Angeles area. Dynamikos' founder Dayna participates in this give back initiative hands on by going to the screenings at the schools. Dayna and the team will go to a school to do eye screenings one day and come back another day to fit the children in need for eyewear. On top of this initiative, Dynamikos also donates a portion of their proceeds to nonprofits focused on environmental conservation such as the Wild Life Conservation Network & SeaLegacy.
Toms Eyewear offers quite the selection of summer shades. Toms offers bold styles and conservatively designed shades as well. Eyewear ranges from around $68-$130. With the large selection of sunglasses, Toms offers resources to help customers discover the perfect fit with Find Your Face Shape, Similar Styles, & more.
By purchasing Toms Eyewear, customers help Toms provide full eye examinations to people in need. After an examination by a trained professional, the individual is given the treatment needed such as prescription glasses, sight saving surgery, or medical treatment. Toms has helped restore vision to 500,000 people in need in 13 countries.

Walking on Ice
By Mohamed Mukhtar (Hiiraan Online) | December 24, 2005
In Cool Running, the popular Walt Disney movie, John Candy, the coach, struggles to bring together four inexperienced men to develop the first Jamaican' s Bobsledding team to train for the Winter Olympic Games in Calgary. One of the most memorable scenes in the film is the reaction of the crew when they realise that Bobsledding is a winter sport played on ice. Since Jamaica 's average annual temperature is 80°F / 27°C it is no wonder that the team find hard to digest the idea of walking on ice let alone run on it
Jamaica 's annual temperature is almost similar to Somali's temperature, although in summer the northeast coast of Somalia is much hotter, with average temperatures of 35 to 38C. Somalis, particularly older people, who fled to Britain after the civil war had broken out in Somalia are finding hard to cope with the miserable winter weather. In the film, if younger and fitter actors struggle to walk on an ice track, in real life it is not pleasant experience for the elderly to walk on snow-covered streets of Birmingham or Leicester during the wintertime.
The civil war in Somalia removed these elderly people from a familiar environment and tossed into an entirely new and unlike environment. When winter sets in they feel physical and emotional uneasiness as they miss the hot-climate that they were accustomed to. E veryman has an ethnocentric tendency to feel that his own land is better than others, however, Somalia enjoys relatively better climate and weatherthan Britain. And this is not just an impression.
Winter is harsh for older people in general and particularly cruel to newcomers. Aged Somalis remain mostly indoors throughout the winter. When they are forced to go out, they make mindful walking and it is easy to notice how the cold weather affects their skins and scales it leaves on their wrinkled forehead and cheeks. Another element that attracts attention is their distinct dress and number of clothes they put on to remain warm.
Britain faces a national scandal every winter because of the number of older people dying of preventable, cold-related illnesses. A press release from Age Concern includes " Eight pensioners in Britain will die of a cold-related illness every hour this winter. And it is estimated that more than 20,000 older people will die as a result of the cold." Unfortunately, it is impossible to quantify how many of these are going to be elderly Somalis.
When winter forces aged Somalis to stay behind indoors they do not take advantage of the many welfare provisions available to older people in general because of language barrier, which leads to lack of information about what services is available or getting services to respond to their needs . Gordon Lishman, Director General of Age Concern England said "Many older people from ethnic communities have a high need for health care, yet report even worse services than others. This can be because of language and cultural barriers."
As a result of that Somali older persons rely on informal help from their social network. This informal help varies in terms of scale and areas. It may include cooking, cleaning, washing and interpreting. This informal help neither presents a long-term solution nor excuses the responsibilities of statutory authorities. If this casual help becomes unavailable, whatever the reason, quality of life of frail older people will deteriorate unimaginably. The report, "LET'S MOVE ON" by Jabeer Butt and Alex O'Neil, says, "The idea that the extended family will look after their 'elders' may be a myth and certainly masks the level of true need."
Abdi is an 80-year old man and relies on the support of his younger sister. He spent the first 75 years of his life in Somalia. The first question he often asks when someone enters his house even if the person comes back from a local shop is: " How did you find the weather on your vacation?". But how do you explain the winter weather to a person the words iceberg, floe, frost, glacier, hail, hoarfrost, iceball, rime, slush, sleet and snowcap do not constitute his vocublary. Given his age, he is a healthy person but does not go outside during the winter unless it is must. And when he ventures to the outside world, he goes out looking like an astraunt because of the number of clothes he puts on. The winter gives him much time for mental playback of his first seven decades of hot climates memories.
Abdi and the likes of him wish that winter would never come back, wish they could go back to their country, and wish things were different. But reality dictates differently. Tiptoeing on ice covered streets or an ice-cold bathroom floors is something they are finding hard to deal with. And it seems British weather is having the final laugh.

America's '1%' Hasn't Controlled This Much Wealth Since Before The Great Depression
Authored by Kari Paul via MarketWatch.com,
The gap between the rich and the poor in America has ballooned over the last several decades.
In 2015, the top 1% of Americans made 26.3 times as much income as the bottom 99 percent - an increase from 2013, when they earned 25.3 times as much, according to a recent study released by the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning Washington, D.C. think tank.
A family needed an annual income of $421,926 to be part of the 1% nationally, the study said, but in some states the threshold was higher. The top 1% of Americans took home more than 22% of all income in 2015, the study found. That's the highest share since a peak of 23.9% just before the Great Depression in 1928.
On Wednesday, Amazon AMZN, -0.60% founder Jeff Bezos became the richest person of the modern era as his wealth surpassed $150 billion.
The fortunes of people like Bezos and those made on Wall Street, in Hollywood and Silicon Valley fuel much of wealth inequality in the U.S., but the issue affects most of the country, the report showed. The incomes of the top 1% grew faster than the bottom 99% in 43 states between 2009 and 2015. In nine states in the U.S., the top 1% represents more than half of all income growth.
Meanwhile, the median net worth of Americans currently hovers at $68,828 per household. One in five Americans say they have more credit-card debt than they do in emergency savings and less than 40% of Americans say they have enough savings to cover a $1,000 emergency room visit or car repair.
"Rising inequality affects virtually every part of the country, not just large urban areas or financial centers," said Estelle Sommeiller, a socio-economist at the Institute for Research in Economic and Social Sciences in France and author on the study. "It's a persistent problem throughout the country - in big cities and small towns, in all 50 states. While the economy continues to recover, policy makers should make it a top priority to grow the incomes of working people while reining in corporate profits."
And the solution is simple according to The EPI - a liberal nonprofit associated with the labor movement - return bargaining power to U.S. workers, increasing political participation by all citizens, and boosting public investments in child care, education, housing and health care.
"Such policies will help prevent the wealthiest few from appropriating more than their fair share of the nation's expanding economic pie," Sommeiller said.
Such ideas have gained popularity as the 2018 midterm elections approach, with New York's Alexa Ocasio-Cortez winning an upset victory in June's Democratic primary in New York's 14th congressional district running on a platform of Medicare for all and reining in Wall Street. She also supports the idea of a government program guaranteeing paid jobs for anybody who wants one.
Critics say such policies are ill-conceived and will "bury us in debt."
