The CPC - and especially the 6128 - is one of the best 8-bit machines. Low price, good performance, built-in floppydrive, 80-column screen, easily expandable, cp/m and some really good games. Locomotive BASIC is rather good too, although the editor is horrible compared to the fullscreen editor found in other BASICs.
Gryzor wrote: Granted, I've not used others extensively, but what's wrong about the CPC's editor?
It's a line-editor. I guess this is fine if you're used to it, but when you're used to a fullscreen editor it's quite awful. Most 8-bits had better BASIC editors than the CPC.
Gryzor wrote: Well, true, in the sense that you have to press COPY when you reach the line that interests you. Is this so bad?
Compared to just edit the line directly - yes. Editing on e.g. Microsoft Basic on the MSX is *much* more comfortable.
The CPC should be the ideal 8-bit machine to program in BASIC on. Good BASIC, 80-column screen, floppy, 128Kb RAM, low price... However, they made a big mistake with the poor editor and the lack of support for RAM above 64Kb in BASIC.
Gryzor wrote: A follow-up question: any 8-bitter that had a scrolling editor?
Never used a Sharp MZ (lovely machines!) except to run an emulated program or two, got to check it out (though, if I'm not mistaken the MZ series run up to the late 80s with new models, so it wouldn't surprise me...).
The MZ had a scrolling editor from the beginning (late 70's). But yes - 80 column is a huge advantage for the CPC compared to most 8-bits. Together with the built-in diskdrive this is one of it's strongest points. But the editor *is* poor, something that was commented on in reviews when the CPC arrived. Consensus was that the editor was a big disappointment for a machine that was launched at the end of the 8-bit era. The Copy key is a workaround to make the line-editor slightly more usable, but line-editors was a thing of the past even in 1984 when the CPC was launched.
I fully agree, the editor is still ages ahead of other 8Bits. The copy cursor is quite neat.
But most people don't seem to get the point of the 80 columns or the CP/M compatibility.
It's nowhere near as bad as the cobbled together BASIC editor that Amstrad dumped into the +2a/+2b/+3 machines. That 'EDIT' button just gets in the way of anyone who's ever used a proper keyboard beforehand.
Because this drifted into CPC advocacy and has no content on Locomotive Basic graphical features anymore. The graphics command discussion belongs in the old thread, generic CPC good or bad here.
Some feel free to rename, discussing Pros and Cons contains advocacy so i don't see the problem.


There are actually foods you can eat that get your metabolism turbocharged, trigger fat releasing hormones, and eliminate toxins that deter any weight loss efforts. If you've hit a plateau on your scale or simply feel like fine tuning your waistline, then incorporate the fat fighting benefits of the following food sourcesin your daily diet.
1. Hot spices: Capsaicin, the bioactive compound that gives chili peppers their heat, revs up your metabolism, raises your body temperature and curbs your appetite. You can get it by eating raw, cooked, dried, or powdered peppers. Start your day by adding half a teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of paprika to your cup of water. You'll be combining the metabolism boosting benefits with the anti-inflammatory and brain charging effects of turmeric.
2. Greek yogurt and lemon: If the paprika and turmeric concoction did not tickle your taste buds, this zesty duo certainly will. The vitamin C in the lemon will help absorb the metabolism boosting calcium in your body.
3. Vinegar: Add vinegar to your lunch salad to slow down carb absorption and keep you full for longer. In addition to getting a flavour punch in your salad without the added calories, researchers found that the polyphenols in balsamic vinegar limited the ability of LDL cholesterol to oxidize. Vinegar also creates an environment that aids your body in repairing and building cells.
4. Lentils: There's no end to the health repertoire of lentils. In addition to being a top source of Iron Folic acid, zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6, protein and fibre, they are also low in calories and contain virtually no fat. One cup of cooked lentils only contains about 230 calories, but still leaves you feeling full and satisfied. Lentils also stop your body from breaking carbohydrates into sugar and storing them as fat.
5. Wild Salmon: Consuming wild salmon on a regular basis helps strip away stubborn abdominal fat. Salmon is credited for activating your thyroid hormone into a faster metabolism and it's a rich source of Omega-3. This essential fatty acid is necessary for your health and must be included in your diet because the human body cannot manufacture it on its own. It improves insulin sensitivity, which shrinks fat from your waistline and tightens your skin. Sprinkle some oregano, crushed walnuts and flax seeds on your grilled or smoke wild salmon for your complete daily dose of Omega-3.
6. Ginger: Slice fresh ginger into your stir fry veggies, homemade miso soup, or daily cup of tea. Ginger is chalk-full of dietary benefits, including aiding digestion and increasing your metabolic rate up to 20 percent.
7. Cacao Nibs: Chocolate lovers, rejoice. This unsweetened, raw material that chocolate is made of is full of anti-inflammatory polyphenols and flavonoids that blast fat without the unwanted sugars and additives in candy. Their taste is quite intense at first, but they certainly feed that little chocolate monster inside.
9. Brazil Nuts: These little fat burners are quite filling and help boost your metabolism. Snack on them throughout the workday and they will convert your thyroid hormone into its active form. Brazil nuts also help prevent cellulite and reduce its appearance by binding toxins and preventing them from storage in your fat cells.
8. Cinnamon: For a metabolism boosting dessert, add cinnamon to your melted cacao nibs and dip cherries in the mixture. Freeze the chocolate coated cherries for a skinny solution to sugar cravings. A cup of these icy treats are just 140 calories, and because they're frozen and take a while to eat, you'll stretch out your snack time.
10. Coffee: Coffee, as well as green tea, black tea, oolong and white tea, stimulates adrenaline, which sends a message to your body to burn fat. The key is to not add milk as it reduces the fat-burning potential. Also, if you drink more than one cup a day, coffee can start to interfere with your body's ability to regulate insulin.


Argan Oil Replenishing Body Butter is a creamy all over body butter that is easily absorbed into the skin for everyday use.�It Helps To Condition Soften And Smooth the skin.
Brand: Argan Oil. Quantity: 250ML.

I receive the Word and directive. I walk boldly into the days to come to claim and conquer in His mighty power. God bless you.


I've never been one for resolutions and when I started doing this blog I told myself I wanted to do one post a month minimum. So here we are 2 months later... Oh well, I'm not sure how many read this anyway so whatever.
These two months have certainly been eventful. We struggled to get the crops planted in May. Had a decent stretch in early June and then Flag Day hit with 5-6" of rain. Honestly, I did write down all the rains but quit adding them up after a foot of rain. It was pretty depressing to see so much of our crop under water. The corridor from Sanborn to Hartley looks bad but that's enough of that.
The pumpkins have really rebounded wonderfully. I think they are a little behind but not too much. Soon I will be doing the personalizing and I love doing that. So if you want a special pumpkin, let me know soon!
The fireworks season went well. We completely changed things from last summer. I honestly didn't know anything last year and we have learned so much from then til now and continue to learn and look for the new and exciting. The local support was awesome and we couldn't do it without you- the customer! Thanks again!
So now I'm in between. I spend an hour or two in the punkin patch hoeing or tilling out weeds. They defs got the jump on me this year. I wasn't able to get out there for 3 weeks because of the rain and it's funny how the weeds always seem to grow no matter what! We have a few family things and events coming up and I'm looking forward to those over the next month. I hope everyone is enjoying these beautiful summer days! I love summer.
We really enjoyed selling fireworks last year and I just finished up my license renewal for 2018. We learned a lot and will have around 250 items with lower prices. I didn't know a thing about fireworks when we started, I just knew it would be a good addition to the patch store. I feel like I'm able to help customers so much more now with descriptions and details of the fireworks.
Last year we went to a demo and I referenced that many times throughout the season. We decided it is a great way to explain safety procedures and to showcase our products. So on June 22 we are going to have our first fireworks demo!
We are going to do it at the east end of the farm by the grain bins. There is lots of room for parking there and it's not too close to the store. We have lots of details to work out yet but I know I will hand out a sheet with the list of things we are going to demo and you will be able to do your own evaluation. There are some many effects in fireworks and I like some more than others, this way you can decide before buying something.
So keep an eye on our Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter pages for more updates!
I have had lots of jobs over the years. Of course you know about the punkins and fireworks, but I also do a few other things. I am a substitute teacher and have been for over 20 years. Right out of college for a few years I coached and subbed and then from 1994 to 2000 I sold cars for my in-laws right where I live. I still have people tell me they bought a car from me or even see a few Solsma Auto Sales stickers on the trunk of a vehicle. I started subbing again in 2000 and have ever since.
I also help a friend occasionally cutting out leather and hide pieces for show awards. it is fun work seeing all the creative things she comes up with and the one down side is I am covered in hair by the end of the day!
I also am the substitute church secretary and will be working a lot soon as there is a baby due today!
I will help deliver Beck's Seed when (if? it's been a long winter, right?) planting starts and be a general go-pher.
So I have a varied schedule that is really nice. I'm glad I have that flexibility as my Dad's acreage is selling in two weeks. The last time I moved was 22 years ago so I had forgotten how much work it is to get a place cleaned out. My parents lived there for over 50 years and now that my mom is gone it was just too much for my dad to manage.
My sisters and I have gone through every cupboard and nook and cranny. We reminisced over pictures and prom dresses packed away in boxes. It's a little surreal seeing the house stripped of our memories but I'm glad to know someone else will be able to make wonderful new ones there. I always refer to my Dad as the Great White Hunter and as you can see, there was a reason for it. I hope the new owner either has a lot of hats or likes hunting, or both, because these antlers are staying!
A few days ago I attended the Iowa Fruit and Vegetable Growers meeting in Ankeny. It is an event for people like me that grow things like I grow. Even though I've had the patch now for 19 ! (holy cow) years, I have never attended. I've known about it but it never worked out to go.
So this year I did go and it was very interesting and worthwhile. I attended sessions on pest, weed, and disease management and social media. Claire was able to sit in on the social media sessions so that was nice. We were able to get new insights on marketing. There are going to be a lot of changes to Facebook soon and it was good to talk that over with each other. A couple speakers that told us how their farm works. It was interesting to see how other people approach management and innovative ideas.
I met growers from around the state and even a couple from the Brookings, SD area. There were booths from the seed companies. It was nice to put a face with the people I had spoken with many times. There were various extension type booths too and I found a couple fun things that I will be able to give to schools when they bring their littles to visit the Patch. All in all, a fun learning experience.
Hello friends. Yikes. I am quite tardy on my blogging, aren't I?
So let us get caught up.
Long fall with weird weather and another successful Patch season. I love the new store! I was happy to get lots of new consignors and their wares in the store. It's gratifying to see all the neat local products sell and lots of happy customers.
We have lots of school groups that visit the Patch. Most of those visits looked like this, cloudy and cool, but I hope they learned something and they had fun.
Winter season of fireworks was next. We had to completely clear out the store and clean and polish the floors. That took a while but it looked great when done.
Next was unpacking box after box after box of fireworks and getting them all arranged. We didn't really know how the winter season would go. Most Iowans are smart enough to stay inside in the winter so asking them to shoot fireworks was a tall order.
We had fun with daily giveaways and the die hard pyros were happy. We are fast becoming pyros too and when it was fit we would shoot off fireworks. Nice thing about winter fireworks? It's dark at 5 and people can't complain about it being too late in the day. We shot a bunch off in Sanborn at our family Christmas party. Lots of people mentioned that they saw them the next day at church. HA. It was a beautiful night and we shot for 25 minutes.
New Years Eve was -20* but we still shot some around 9:30 pm. A couple cars stopped on the side of the road to watch. We didn't last long though, too cold.
Now I'm under my blankie and perusing seed catalogs and looking at fireworks videos deciding on the best items for 2018's season. I'm excited for 2018! Let's make it a great one!
We had quite the storm on our anniversary night. I thought we were going to miss it but we caught the edge of a big storm. We got some pea to quarter size hail for about 5 minutes (seemed longer) and it quit. Thought we were off the hook. A few minutes later it started again and this time it meant business. Ping pong balls of hail were bouncing all over for another 5-10 minutes (seemed way longer) as we helplessly watched. We had at least five cars on the yard riding out the weather.
After all was said and done we got .65" of rain and the worst damage in the patch in my 18 years. I can only remember one time where I had a tiny bit of damage.
Now all hope is not lost my dear readers! Surprisingly, there are quite a few unscathed so I will still be able to pick some of my treasures. It is just interesting to walk through the patch and see the havoc some ice cubes can cause. It was definitely worse on the east end than the west end. Time will tell how fruits recover. Lots of bruises.
This is the imprint of a hail stone left in the mud. They are all over.
Last observation. In 2000 I broke my tibia and fibula gracefully falling down the stairs. Ended up with two plates and 13 screws in there. I never had much empathy for a person on crutches until I was on crutches. It's pretty easy to feel sorry for yourself and I kinda did. There are things I can't do anymore and that stinks. But in the course of my rehab I came across another gal that was way worse off than me and I realized I will be fine. She most definitely was not going to be. So with that in mind, I am once again reminded of Who really is in charge, it ain't me and everything will be okay.

5 for qualified disability expenses incurred by or on behalf of
6 an eligible individual.
7     (c) Promotion of the ABLE Program. The State Treasurer
8 shall promote awareness of the availability and advantages of
9 the ABLE account plan as a way to assist individuals and
10 families in saving private funds for the purpose of supporting

12     (d) Availability of the ABLE Program. An ABLE account may
13 be established under this Section for a designated beneficiary
14 who is a resident of Illinois, a resident of a contracting
15 state, or a resident of any other state.
16     Annual contributions to an ABLE account on behalf of a
17 beneficiary are subject to the requirements of subsection (b)
18 of Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code. No person may
19 make a contribution to an ABLE account if such a contribution
20 would result in the aggregate account balance of an ABLE
21 account exceeding the account balance limit authorized under
22 Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Treasurer shall
23 review the contribution limit at least annually. A separate
24 account must be maintained for each beneficiary for whom
25 contributions are made, and no more than one account shall be
26 established per beneficiary. If an ABLE account is established
1 for a designated beneficiary, no account subsequently
2 established for such beneficiary shall be treated as an ABLE
3 account. The preceding sentence shall not apply in the case of
4 an ABLE account established for purposes of a rollover as
5 permitted under Sections 529 and 529A of the Internal Revenue
6 Code.
7     (e) Administration of the ABLE Program. The State Treasurer
8 shall administer the plan, including accepting and processing

12 The State Treasurer may contract with one or more third parties
13 to carry out some or all of these administrative duties,
14 including, but not limited to, providing investment management
15 services, incentives, and marketing the plan. The State
16 Treasurer may enter into agreements with other states to either
17 allow Illinois residents to participate in a plan operated by
18 another state or to allow residents of other states to
19 participate in the Illinois ABLE plan.
20     (f) Fees. The State Treasurer may establish fees to be
21 imposed on participants to cover the costs of administration,
22 recordkeeping, and investment management. The State Treasurer
23 must use his or her best efforts to keep these fees as low as
24 possible, consistent with efficient administration.
25     (g) The Illinois ABLE Accounts Administrative Fund. The
26 Illinois ABLE Accounts Administrative Fund is created as a
1 nonappropriated trust fund in the State treasury. The State
2 Treasurer shall use moneys in the Administrative Fund to cover
3 administrative expenses incurred under this Section. The
4 Administrative Fund may receive any grants or other moneys
5 designated for administrative purposes from the State, or any
6 unit of federal, state, or local government, or any other
7 person, firm, partnership, or corporation. Any interest
8 earnings that are attributable to moneys in the Administrative
9 Fund must be deposited into the Administrative Fund. Any fees
10 established by the State Treasurer to cover the costs of
11 administration, recordkeeping, and investment management shall
12 be deposited into the Administrative Fund.
13     Subject to appropriation, the State Treasurer may pay
14 administrative costs associated with the creation and
15 management of the plan until sufficient assets are available in
16 the Administrative Fund for that purpose.
17     (h) Privacy. Applications for accounts, account owner
18 data, account data, and data on beneficiaries of accounts are
19 confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of
20 Information Act.
21     (i) Investment Policy. The Treasurer shall prepare and
22 adopt a written statement of investment policy that includes a
23 risk management and oversight program which shall be reviewed
24 annually and posted on the Treasurer's website prior to
25 implementation. The risk management and oversight program
26 shall be designed to ensure that an effective risk management
1 system is in place to monitor the risk levels of the ABLE plan,
2 to ensure that the risks taken are prudent and properly
3 managed, to provide an integrated process for overall risk
4 management, and to assess investment returns as well as risk to
5 determine if the risks taken are adequately compensated
6 compared to applicable performance benchmarks and standards.
7 To enhance the safety and liquidity of ABLE accounts, to ensure
8 the diversification of the investment portfolio of accounts,
9 and in an effort to keep investment dollars in the State, the
10 State Treasurer may make a percentage of each account available
11 for investment in participating financial institutions doing
12 business in the State, except that the accounts may be invested
13 without limit in investment options from open-ended investment
14 companies registered under Section 80a of the federal
15 Investment Company Act of 1940. The State Treasurer may
16 contract with one or more third parties for investment
17 management, recordkeeping, or other services in connection
18 with investing the accounts.
19     (j)  Investment restrictions. The State Treasurer shall
20 ensure that the plan meets the requirements for an ABLE account
21 under Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code. The State
22 Treasurer may request a private letter ruling or rulings from
23 the Internal Revenue Service and must take any necessary steps
24 to ensure that the plan qualifies under relevant provisions of
25 federal law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any determination
26 by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States that an
1 account was utilized to make non-qualified distributions shall
2 not result in an ABLE account being disregarded as a resource.
3     (k) Contributions. A person may make contributions to an
4 ABLE account on behalf of a beneficiary. Contributions to an
5 account made by persons other than the account owner become the
6 property of the account owner. Contributions to an account
7 shall be considered as a transfer of assets for fair market
8 value. A person does not acquire an interest in an ABLE account
9 by making contributions to an account. A contribution to any
10 account for a beneficiary must be rejected if the contribution
11 would cause either the aggregate or annual account balance of
12 the account to exceed the limits imposed by Section 529A of the
13 Internal Revenue Code.
14     Any change in account owner must be done in a manner
15 consistent with Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code.
16     (l) Notice. Notice of any proposed amendments to the rules
17 and regulations shall be provided to all owners or their
18 designated representatives prior to adoption. Amendments to
19 rules and regulations shall apply only to contributions made
20 after the adoption of the amendment. Amendments to this Section
21 automatically amend the participation agreement. Any
22 amendments to the operating procedures and policies of the plan
23 shall automatically amend the participation agreement after
24 adoption by the State Treasurer.
25     (m) Plan assets. All assets of the plan, including any
26 contributions to accounts, are held in trust for the exclusive
1 benefit of the account owner and shall be considered
2 spendthrift accounts exempt from all of the owner's creditors.
3 The plan shall provide separate accounting for each designated
4 beneficiary sufficient to satisfy the requirements of
5 paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of Section 529A of the Internal
6 Revenue Code. Assets must be held in either a state trust fund
7 outside the State treasury, to be known as the Illinois ABLE
8 plan trust fund, or in accounts with a third-party provider
9 selected pursuant to this Section. Amounts contributed to ABLE
10 accounts shall not be commingled with State funds and the State
11 shall have no claim to or against, or interest in, such funds.
12     Plan assets are not subject to claims by creditors of the
13 State and are not subject to appropriation by the State.
14 Payments from the Illinois ABLE account plan shall be made
15 under this Section.
16     The assets of ABLE accounts and their income may not be
17 used as security for a loan.
18     (n) Taxation. The assets of ABLE accounts and their income
19 and operation shall be exempt from all taxation by the State of
20 Illinois and any of its subdivisions to the extent exempt from
21 federal income taxation. The accrued earnings on investments in
22 an ABLE account once disbursed on behalf of a designated
23 beneficiary shall be similarly exempt from all taxation by the
24 State of Illinois and its subdivisions to the extent exempt
25 from federal income taxation, so long as they are used for
26 qualified expenses.
HB4611 Engrossed - 10 - LRB101 17168 RJF 66569 b
1     Notwithstanding any other provision of law that requires
2 consideration of one or more financial circumstances of an
3 individual, for the purpose of determining eligibility to
4 receive, or the amount of, any assistance or benefit authorized
5 by such provision to be provided to or for the benefit of such
6 individual, any amount, including earnings thereon, in the ABLE
7 account of such individual, any contributions to the ABLE
8 account of the individual, and any distribution for qualified
9 disability expenses shall be disregarded for such purpose with
10 respect to any period during which such individual maintains,
11 makes contributions to, or receives distributions from such
12 ABLE account.
13     (o) Distributions. The account owner or the designated
14 representative of the account owner may make a qualified
15 distribution for the benefit of the account owner. Qualified
16 distributions shall be made for qualified disability expenses
17 allowed pursuant to Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code.
18 Qualified distributions must be withdrawn proportionally from
19 contributions and earnings in an account owner's account on the

Conservative Review /
Unreliable sources? New Jim Jordan 'scandal' story doesn't hold up
Nate Madden
You may have thought that the abuse "scandal" that broke over Independence Day weekend about Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was already dead. Guess again.
The stories at NBC and New York Magazine focus on text messages sent to Dunyasha Yetts and Mike Disabato, who both wrestled at Ohio State during Jordan's tenure as an assistant coach, from Russ Hellickson – a former Olympic silver medalist who was head wrestling coach at the time. The accusers claim that Hellickson tried to pressure them to recant their stories, and that he was under pressure from Jordan to do so.
The first lesson is that you never want to send any written communication, whether it be text, email, or social media direct message, that you wouldn't want on the front page of your local paper or read aloud in a deposition. After all, it just might.
But let's get back to business and take a look at the evidence, shall we?
In the only message that was shown in screenshot, Hellickson responds to a long text from Yetts by saying that he was sorry that his former wrestler "got caught up in this media train."
"If you think the story got told wrong about Jim," the messages continue, "you could probably write a statement for release that tells your story and corrects what you feel bad about."
Later, a text from Hellickson reads, "Do not talk to any media. People will call you to convince you I said to talk. No no no[.]" Look, that's crisis communications 101 and about as surprising as the headline "Dog Wags Tail."
The screenshots can be viewed here.
As far as Hellickson saying that he was under pressure to get accusers to recant? You know, the actual "story" part of the story? Those allegedly took place in a phone call that happened later, so it hinges completely on whether or not the reader trusts the accusers in the first place.
And thus, we're back to the initial problem with this whole scandal: The two accusers at the root of all this do not appear to be trustworthy, as Chris Pandolfo and I explained when this whole thing started.
Of course, the New York Magazine story pre-empts this in Yetts' case with the following:
Yetts said that after he declined to take back his allegations, Jordan's allies began attacking him for his admission that he served 18 months in prison for bilking investors.
Well yeah, if you've gone to jail on felony charges for lying to people in order to get their money, that sort of thing is going to bring your credibility into question. Just like if someone has a troubled history with the accused's family that includes sending a widow a picture of her husband's killer over a business dispute, or just a long history of litigation surrounding business deals gone bad.
The accusations against Jordan remain unconfirmed and haven't passed the sniff test since they originated last month. And despite the smears that followed on the heels of his speaker run announcement, and despite these latest reports, and despite the highest hopes of those who would politically benefit from Jordan's downfall, they still don't.

Timing Matters When Having Kids
By Candice Z. Watters By Steve Watters
Your timeline for having kids is important. It is worthy of careful prayer, but not hypercare.
Most couples have some kind of timeline in mind for when it feels right to start their family. Maybe it's vague, maybe you haven't talked it through thoroughly enough to land on a precise target, but you likely have a sense of how much "child-free" time you'd like to have in your early marriage, what you think needs to happen first, and what conditions you think would be optimal before starting a family.
Conventional wisdom says timing is everything – that it's essential when preparing to welcome a child. It seems that more and more couples believe that if they get going too soon they'll get themselves and their babies off to a bad start. Admittedly, there are few things in life more daunting than launching a new life into the world.
Anyone who soberly reflects on the magnitude of the venture and of all the things that could go wrong can be motivated to think more cautiously about their timing. But for today's couples, the factors guiding timing have grown more complex. Couples have always worried about being able to provide for a new family – economic challenges, employment concerns and debt issues have always been considerations. Today couples are more likely to go into marriage with much greater consumer and educational debt than their parents did, leading many to put off having children.
Unfortunately, the intention to have children someday – at the best possible time – often gives way to what one woman called "a creeping non-choice."Sylvia Ann Hewlett, Creating a Life, p. 3 The passage of time can lead couples to choices that are far afield of what they planned.
Reflecting on the brevity of life, Moses prayed, "Teach us to number our days aright" (Psalm 90:12a, NIV). Couples can apply that prayer to their timeline for starting a family in the areas of their fertility and energy level.
Be aware of your fertility
Extended life spans and fertility technology give couples the sense that they have quite a bit of control over the timing of starting their family. Surveys, however, reveal a growing gap between desire and reality when it comes to having children. While only 2 percent of couples say they don't want children, 20 percent actually end up childless. And while just 3 percent of couples say one child would be enough for them, 16 percent find themselves limited to one.World Values Survey Even though couples today tend to marry later and need more time to finish their education and kick off their careers, the window of natural fertility remains fixed. Women today are often surprised to find that their fertility begins to decline when they're in their late 20s, accelerates its drop when they're in their mid-30s and plummets when they're in their 40s.
Assisted reproductive technology can extend this natural window of fertility to some degree, but not without a cost. In addition to the thousands of dollars assisted reproduction can cost, many worry about the unintended consequences it can create. "Assisted reproduction is like so many technologies," writes Liz Mundy in her book Everything Conceivable, "in that it makes certain situations possible that never were possible before and it suffers from unforeseen glitches; it sometimes delivers the desired outcome faster, and in greater number than a person can handle. It solves problems, and creates them."
A clear pattern in the Bible is that God opens and closes the womb. Regardless of age and technology, He is able to work out His sovereign will. It's our job to be good stewards of the fertility He gives us and then trust Him with the rest.
Consider your energy level
A couple's age also affects their ability to keep up with children. As life expectancy lengthens, it's easy to forget that age matters. It's tempting to enjoy as many adventures and experiences as we can during the same years that our parents and grandparents were already diapers-deep into the parenting enterprise. Unfortunately it's much easier to achieve a lifestyle of endless youth than it is to keep our bodies from aging. In her article "How About Having Babies Earlier?" columnist Pamela Bone wrote: "Adolescence may now linger through the 20s, and 50 may be the new 40, but biology tends not to take notice of cultural change."The Age, February 27, 2004
Regardless of our perceptions of our potential – and the steady stream of technological breakthroughs – our bodies stubbornly grow less conducive to conceiving, gestating and caring for babies the older we get. But it's not just the wind-down of our biological clocks that we must consider. We should also consider those other factors that tend to coincide with when we're most able to conceive: energy, physical stamina and flexibility, and the ability to recover quickly from illness and injury.
While couples that put off having children are more likely to have more money in their bank account, they're more likely to find themselves exhausted by parenting much quicker than younger parents are. This is also true for grandparents. Children need grandparents who can get down on the floor to play with them … and still be able to get back up.
Your timeline, your launch, is important. It is worthy of careful prayer, but not hypercare. Think about your timeline. Are you being overly cautious? Are you being realistic about your fertility and about the capacity you have in the years ahead of you?

When the Mumbai Indians named 17-year-old fast bowler Rasikh Salam in the final XI against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday, he became the second cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to play the tournament after Parvez Rasool.
Last year, Manzoor Dar was picked by Kings XI Punjab, but he had to warm the bench throughout the tournament.
Salam is the youngest to debut for Mumbai Indians at 17 years and 353 days. The franchise's director of cricket operations and former India pacer, Zaheer Khan handed the cap to the player.
Hailing from Ashmuji village in south Kashmir's Kulgam district, Salam came on the domestic cricket scene through district-level tournaments and then was spotted by Irfan Pathan, who is now a player-mentor for the Jammu and Kashmir Ranji Trophy team.
During the training camp with JK, Pathan made it a point to work with the youngster and that paid rich dividends. In the just-concluded domestic season, Salam featured in a couple of Ranji Trophy fixtures for his home state and picked up seven wickets. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 tournament, he scalped five wickets in four outings.
During the state team camp, Salam spent a lot of time with Pathan learning a thing or two about bowling and that seems to have helped. "I worked a bit on the technical part and hopefully he will be able to keep those things in mind," Pathan had said before the IPL began.
On Sunday, it was a dream come true for Salam, who is also the only cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to feature in this year's IPL!

Abstract: Many computer models of large complex systems are time consuming to experiment on. Even when surrogate models are developed to approximate the computer models, estimating an appropriate surrogate model can still be computationally challenging. In this thesis, we propose an Additive Global and Local Gaussian Process (AGLGP) model that is a flexible surrogate for stochastic computer models. The proposed additive structure of the model reduces the computational complexity in model fitting, and allows for more efficient predictions with large data sets. We show that this model form is effective in modeling various complicated stochastic computer models. With its global and local structure, we integrate the AGLGP model into a combined global and local optimization (CGLO) algorithm and show the performance and properties of the CGLO algorithm. We also extend the CGLO into a parallel framework with parallel local search to further improve the computational efficiency.

State water officials said they had drained enough of the lake behind the dam, the nation's tallest, so that its earthen emergency spillway will not be needed to handle runoff from an approaching storm. On Sunday, officials discovered a hole in the spillway, which guards against the dam's overflow when water levels are high, and issued an evacuation order to surrounding cities and counties.
This situation is unlikely to occur at any of the Horsetooth Reservoir dams, according to officials from the Bureau of Reclamation and Northern Water.
"It has been stable for four days", Croyle said.
Eric Holland, of the state Department of Water Resources' dam-safety division, said any of a number of different problems could have caused the spillway troubles.
Experts now estimate that it will cost at least $200 million to fix the hole in the dam's spillways if no further damage is incurred.
Bill Speer arrived back at his Oroville home Tuesday afternoon.
The authorities said they had averted the immediate danger of a catastrophic failure at the dam that could unleash a wall of water three storeys tall on towns below.
Alan Haynes, with the federal government's California Nevada River Forecast, agreed that inflows to the lake should be manageable compared to the volumes that rushed in during last week's storm. Jerry Brown said Monday that he sent a letter to the White House requesting direct federal assistance in the emergency, though some federal agencies have been helping already. We rely on donations to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters big and small across the United States.
"We're doing everything we can to get this dam in shape so that they can return and they can live safely without fear".
Yolanda Davila, 62, of Thermalito, ended up at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, one of only five in the area taking people with pets. As she packed the blankets, pillows and clothing she had hastily thrown into a black garbage bag, she reflected on the mad rush to leave, the chaos, confusion and bottleneck traffic on the drive out.
How can you help those affected by the Oroville Dam evacuations?
"We didn't have a plan".
The damage to Oroville Dam raises questions about the ability of aging infrastructure to cope with severe weather exacerbated by global warming.
"Normality seems to be taking hold", Sandy Linville, president and CEO the Oroville Area Chamber of Commerce said Wednesday morning. "The events unfolding at Oroville should be a wake-up call that there are thousands of unsafe dams and levees in the country".

Why Is Vietnamese Food Famous In The World?
Vietnam is well - known as a big diverse and tasty cuisines such as: Vietnamese Pancake, Vietnamese Baguette, Spring Roll, etc. Espeically, Pho is the most famous Vietnamese dish in the world because of its tastes from broth and ingredients
Vietnamese cuisine encompasses the foods and beverages of Vietnam, and features a combination of five fundamental tastes (spicy, sour, bitter, salty and sweet) in the overall meal. Each Vietnamese dish has a distinctive flavor which reflects one or more of these elements. Common ingredients include fish sauce, shrimp paste, soy sauce, rice, fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables. Vietnamese recipes use lemongrass, ginger, mint, Vietnamese mint, long coriander, Saigon cinnamon, bird's eye chili, lime, and Thai basil leaves.Traditional Vietnamese cooking is greatly admired for its fresh ingredients, minimal use of dairy and oil, complementary textures, and reliance on herbs and vegetables. With the balance between fresh herbs and meats and a selective use of spices to reach a fine taste, Vietnamese food is considered one of the healthiest cuisines worldwide.
As the people respect balance rules, Vietnamese food has the combination between fragrant, taste, and colour. Vietnamese cuisine always has five elements which are known for its balance in each of these features.Vietnamese dishes also include five types of nutrients: powder, water or liquid, mineral elements, protein and fat. Vietnamese cooks try to have five colours: white, green, yellow, red and black in their dishes.
Dishes in Vietnam appeal to gastronomes via the five senses: food arrangement attracts eyes, sounds come from crisp ingredients, five spices are detected on the tongue, aromatic ingredients coming mainly from herbs stimulate the nose, and some meals, especially finger food, can be perceived by touching.Whether complex or simple, Vietnamese dishes also offer satisfying mouthfeel during the dining enjoyment.
Herbs and vegetables are essential to many Vietnamese dishes and are often abundantly used. Broths or soup-based dishes are common in all three regions.
While sharing some key features, Vietnamese culinary tradition differs from region to region.
In northern Vietnam, a colder climate limits the production and availability of spices. As a result, the foods there are often less spicy than those in other regions. Black pepper is used in place of chilis as the most popular ingredient to produce spicy flavors. In general, northern Vietnamese cuisine is not bold in any particular taste — sweet, salty, spicy, bitter, or sour. Most northern Vietnamese foods feature light and balanced flavors that result from subtle combinations of many different flavoring ingredients. The use of meats such as pork, beef, and chicken were relatively limited in the past. Being the cradle of Vietnamese civilization,northern Vietnam produces many signature dishes of Vietnam, such as bún riêu and bánh cuốn, which were carried to central and southern Vietnam through Vietnamese migration. Other famous Vietnamese dishes that originated from the North, particularly from Hanoi include "bún chả"- Obama Noodle (rice noodle with grilled marinated pork), phở gà (rice noodle with chicken), chả cá Lã Vọng (rice noodle with grilled fish).
The abundance of spices produced by central Vietnam's mountainous terrain makes this region's cuisine notable for its spicy food, which sets it apart from the two other regions of Vietnam where foods are mostly not spicy. Once the capital of the last dynasty of Vietnam, Huế's culinary tradition features highly decorative and colorful food, reflecting the influence of ancient Vietnamese royal cuisine. The region's cuisine is also notable for its sophisticated meals consisting of many complex dishes served in small portions. Chili peppers and shrimp sauces are among the frequently used ingredients. Some Vietnamese signature dishes produced in central Vietnam is bún bò Huế (Beef Noodles Soup)
The warm weather and fertile soil of southern Vietnam create an ideal condition for growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and livestock. As a result, foods in southern Vietnam are often vibrant and flavorful, with liberal uses of garlic, shallots, and fresh herbs. Sugar is added to food more than in the other regions.The preference for sweetness in southern Vietnam can also be seen through the widespread use of coconut milk in southern Vietnamese cuisine. Vast shorelines make seafood a natural staple for people in this region. Some signature seafood dishes from southern Vietnam include Vietnamese pancake or Spring roll

Long ago, taking a photo was an active process. The photographer had to set up, the subject had to pose, and everyone had to remain still. Even after the shots were taken, no one could say for sure if they were any good until the film was developed. Taking pictures took days.
Today, snapping a picture takes less than a second, thanks to incredible advancements in mobile photography. What's more, advanced camera systems come replete with a variety of sensors and radios – wrapped in what we call a smartphone – allowing anyone to review, edit, and share their snaps instantly. In this episode, we're joined by special guest Shawn King of Your Mac Life, to look at how far photography, and the stories those pictures tell, have come – from specialized service to everyday occurrence.

Nong Khai (Thai: ) ist eine Provinz (Changwat) in der Nordostregion von Thailand, dem Isan. Die Hauptstadt der Provinz Nong Khai heißt ebenfalls Nong Khai.

Geographie
Die Provinz Nong Khai liegt im Tal des Mekong, der auch die natürliche Grenze zu Laos bildet, und erstreckt sich hier hauptsächlich in west-östlicher Richtung. Auf der anderen Seite des Mekong liegt die laotische Hauptstadt Vientiane (Viang Chan), nur 25 km entfernt. Im Süden der Provinz erheben sich kleinere Hügel- und Bergketten.

Wichtige Flüsse
 Mekong

Klima
Das Klima ist tropisch-monsunal. Die mittlere Jahrestemperatur liegt bei 26,2 °C. Die Höchsttemperatur im Jahr 2009 betrug 40,6 °C, die tiefste Temperatur wurde mit 9,5 °C gemessen. An 134 Regentagen fielen in demselben Jahr 1834,6 mm Niederschlag.

Wirtschaft und Bedeutung
Im Jahr 2011 betrug das "Gross Provincial Product" (Bruttoinlandsprodukt) der Provinz 36,437 Milliarden Baht. Der Mindestlohn in der Provinz beträgt 169 Baht pro Tag (etwa 5 €).

Daten
Die unten stehende Tabelle zeigt den Anteil der Wirtschaftszweige am Gross Provincial Product in Prozent:

Die am stärksten zur Wirtschaftsleistung der Provinz beitragende Branche war im Jahr 2011 die Landwirtschaft mit 8,594 Mrd. Baht, gefolgt von der Bildung mit 5,638 Mrd. Baht, dem verarbeitenden Gewerbe mit 5,580 Mrd. Baht sowie dem Groß- und Einzelhandel mit 3,9 Mrd. Baht.

Landnutzung
Für die Provinz ist die folgende Landnutzung dokumentiert:
 Waldfläche: 348.379 Rai (217,7 km²), 7,6 % der Gesamtfläche
 Landwirtschaftlich genutzte Fläche: 1.735.827 Rai (1.084,9 km²), 37,9 % der Gesamtfläche
 Nicht klassifizierte Fläche: 2.498.469 Rai (1.561,4 km²), 54,5 % der Gesamtfläche

Mehr als 50 % der Fläche ist landwirtschaftlich genutzt, 6 % sind Waldland. Haupteinnahmequelle ist der Reisanbau. Auf dem Mekong wird lokaler Fischfang betrieben.

Die Provinz Nong Khai hat insgesamt 1.002 Feuchtgebiete mit einer Fläche von 96,0 km², die mehr oder weniger intensiv für die Landwirtschaft genutzt werden.

Geschichte
Nong Khai hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte hinter sich, in deren Verlauf es im Lao-Königreich Lan Xang eine zunächst untergeordnete Rolle spielte, als dessen Hauptstadt sich noch in der Gegend des heutigen Luang Prabang (Xiang Dong Xiang Thong) befand. Nachdem man wegen der ständigen birmanischen Attacken die Lao-Bevölkerung vermehrt in den Süden des heutigen Laos umsiedelte, wuchs auch die Bedeutung von Nong Khai, insbesondere als im 16. Jahrhundert am anderen Ufer des Mekong die neue Hauptstadt Viang Chan (Vientiane) erbaut wurde. Doch war man auch dort nicht vor den Birmanen sicher, und so flohen Laoten in den folgenden Jahrhunderten in mehreren Wellen in den Süden und nach Nordost-Thailand (Isan), wo sie einen bedeutenden Anteil der Bevölkerung stellen.

Bevölkerung
Die Bevölkerung ist nach offizieller Klassifikation überwiegend Thai, doch spricht die Mehrheit laotische Dialekte. Über 99 % sind Buddhisten.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

Neben dem Naturschutzgebiet Phu Wua (Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary, ) gibt es einige Wasserfälle zu sehen (zum Beispiel Namtok Tham Fun  oder Namtok Chet Si ), die teilweise aber nur in der Regenzeit Wasser führen.

Eine weitere Sehenswürdigkeit der Provinz ist der Sala-Kaeo-Ku-Park mit phantasievollen, teils gewaltigen Betonskulpturen des lokalen Mystikers Bunleua Sulilat.

Verkehr

Illegal immigrant arrested at Mansfield firm
Helen Beighton
Thirty immigrants who have been living and working in the UK illegally have been arrested following a Home Office raid on a Mansfield factory.
Immigration Enforcement officers visited Savanna Rags International Ltd, on Forest Road, at about 10am yesterday (19th March), after acting on intelligence.
Staff were questioned to check whether they had the right to work in the UK and officers then arrested 27 men and three women, aged between 23 and 54, who were found to be in the UK illegally.
The majority - 21 - were from Ghana, while six were Indian, two Nigerian and one person from Niger.
Of those arrested, 26 had overstayed their visa, three had entered the UK illegally, and one had obtained leave to remain by deception.
Five of those arrested were detained pending removal from the UK. The remaining 25 were placed on immigration bail while action is taken to remove them from the country.
The business will be served a notice warning that a civil penalty of up to £10,000 per illegal worker arrested will be imposed unless proof is provided that the correct right-to-work checks were carried out. This is a potential total of up to £300,000.
Alison Spowage, assistant director for Immigration Enforcement in the East Midlands, said: "This was a large scale operation targeting suspected illegal working in Nottinghamshire.
"We have dedicated and well resourced teams, and the message to employers who chose to flout the law is clear. We will catch you and you will pay a heavy penalty.
"Illegal working exploits some of society's most vulnerable people.
"It also undercuts honest employers, cheats the treasury and takes jobs away from those with a legal right to work.
"I would urge members of the public with specific and detailed information about suspected immigration abuse to get in touch."
The HMRC officers involved in the operation were part of a dedicated taskforce to uncover and tackle those employers who are not paying what they should, either in tax to HMRC or the National Minimum Wage to their employees.
Jonathan Warburton, HMRC Taskforce Leader, said: "Our taskforce is identifying those employers who operate 'outside the system' to avoid paying VAT, PAYE and the National Minimum Wage, which is stealing millions of pounds from local people and the UK economy.
"Paying the National Minimum Wage isn't optional, it is a worker's legal right. We will help employers to understand their responsibilities, but will also relentlessly pursue those who deliberately break the law."
A spokesman for Savanna rags said: "Savanna Rags International Ltd fully cooperated with the officers from both HMRC & Immigration services.
We provided them with the information that we had on file for of our employees including all copies of documents supplied to us by the staff.
What we have learnt is that unfortunately the checks we carried out were not rigorous enough.
Since the visit we have implemented everything that was recommended and we now have a dedicated HR administrator on site.
Furthermore we now only recruit using an external agency who carry out all due diligence, including visas and right to work in the UK.
This was a very hard lesson to learn especially when you take in to consideration the facts that we were making PAYE and NI contributions having been supplied these details by the employees.
What we would say to other businesses who employ foreign workers is to be more vigilant and make sure that you check the credentials of every employee thoroughly so you don't fall victim to a sophisticated scam the way we did and if in doubt contact the relevant government body for advice."

Importance of Determining Inventorship Prior to Patent Issuance
By Jamal Hakimi, May 12th, 2020
Determining inventorship, prior to patent issuance, can save an applicant the costly procedural and evidentiary burden required for correcting the named inventors post patent issuance. Since Canadian patent law requires that each patent application list the sole inventor(s) of the claimed invention, divisional applications derived from an application having two or more inventors must list only the inventors that contributed to the claimed invention.
Although a patent may still be issued for an application not listing the sole inventor(s) of the claimed invention, the patentee may be required to correct the records of the Patent Office to reflect the sole inventor(s). However, post patent issuance, to correct the records of the Patent Office, the patentee must bring an application to the Federal Court ("Court"). In doing so, the patentee must follow the evidentiary and procedural requirements for removing a named inventor and/or adding an inventor to the named inventors of the issued patent. This was the case in Inguran LLC dba STgenetics v Commissioner of Patents, 2020 FC 338, for which the patentee, STgenetics, brought an application to the Court for an order to remove six of the twelve named inventors from the records of the Patent Office relating to four issued patents.
To obtain the order for removing named inventors, ST genetics had to meet the test outlined in Imperial Oil Resources Ltd v Canada (Attorney General), 2015 FC 1218. The test asks two questions:
1. Does it appear that one or more of the named inventors have no part in the invention? and
2. Has an affidavit been provided to satisfy the Court that the remaining inventors are the sole inventors?
In order to meet the test, STgenetics provided affidavits from both inventors determined to have contributed to the issued patents and from non-inventors incorrectly named as inventors. The determined inventors deposed that they contributed to the issued patents, and the non-inventors deposed that they did not contribute to the issued patents.
Based on STgenetics' evidence, the Court determined that STgenetics met the procedural and evidentiary burden required for removing the names of the non-inventors. Accordingly, the Court ordered the Commissioner of Patents ("Commissioner") to vary the records of the Patent Office with respect to the inventorship of the issued patents.
Although STgenetics' application to the Court was successful, the application and the evidentiary burden to satisfy the Court of the relevant jurisprudential tests and procedural requirements could have been avoided had the inventorship been determined prior to the issuance of the patents. STgenetics, could have simply, prior to receiving the notice of allowance, requested the Commissioner to remove the names of the non-inventors and submitting the affidavits. Had STgenetics done so, it could have saved the time and money spent in pursuing the Court application.

Genghis Khan Quotes
1. "Who can't stop drinking may get drunken three times a month. If he does it more often, he is guilty. To get drunken twice a month is better; once, still more praiseworthy. But not to drink at all – what could be better than this? But where could such a being be found? But if one would find it, it would be worthy of all honor."
2. "Heaven grew weary of the excessive pride and luxury of China… I am from the Barbaric North. I wear the same clothing and eat the same food as the cowherds and horse-herders.

3. "Not even a mighty warrior can brake a frail arrow when it is multiplied and supported by its fellows.

6. "Those who were adept and brave fellows I have made military commanders. Those who were quick and nimble I have made herders of horses. Those who were not adept I have given a small whip and sent to be shepherds."
7. "Say ye unto the Khwarizmi that I am the sovereign of the sunrise, and [he is] the sovereign of the sunset. Let there be between us a firm treaty of friendship, amity, and peace, and let traders and caravans on both sides come and go."
8. "If you're afraid – don't do it, – if you're doing it – don't be afraid!"
9. "The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters."
10. "I am the punishment of God…If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."
10. "I am from the Barbaric North. I wear the same clothing and eat the same food as the cowherds and horse-herders. We make the same sacrifices and we share our riches."
11. "If lies can show the truth, they can be the truth, they can cause the truth, so I may build an empire on lies, but they are the truth."
12. "All who surrender will be spared; whoever does not surrender but opposes with struggle and dissension, shall be annihilated."
13. "As long as you brothers support one another and render assistance to one another, your enemies can never gain the victory over you."

Genghis Khan was a famous military ruler and his fierce reign let Mongolia dominate other countries. He is considered by historians to be a military genius and a famous conquerer. His leadership helped the Mongols become a world power. Genghis Khan is known for his organization and discipline in military history.
Genghis Khan's reign brought about endless destruction and death. Historians have said that Genghis Khan conquered more than twice as much land as any other military leader in history, which is why he is considered such a legend in military strategy. During his reign he brought Eastern and Western civilizations into contact. We hope these quotes captured the essence of Khan's military domination.

Spring is finally here, which means beach season is just around the corner. Many gyms will see an uptick in members as people recall that it took longer than two weeks to get in shape the previous year. It seems like a cruel joke that our body wouldn't just change instantly. After all, there are plenty of commercials on television that would have us believe we can look like Brad Pitt after five workouts and the right combination of supplements, nutrition, and gopher milk (is that the miracle product this year?). Unfortunately, your body takes time to respond to a routine. Since this is the case, it is important for us to get as much out of every workout as is humanly possible. Structural shifts of your spine can unfortunately derail this.
There is a normal range for the alignment of your spine just like there is a normal range for blood pressure, vision, and heart rate. When your spine is within this normal range, everything that connects with your spine works optimally. This includes your muscles, joints, nervous system (electrical wiring of your body), and more. The spine is literally the foundation of your body that provides support and mobility for everything you do. What happens if there is an abnormal deviation of your spine from normal?
As an example, let's discuss how Anterior Head Syndrome affects your workout. Anterior Head Syndrome is the abnormal deviation of your head beyond what is considered normal (pictured above). When a shift of the inner framework of your spine occurs, it changes the resting muscle length and angle for all of the muscles that attach from your head to the upper back, shoulder girdle, scapula and more. Why is this a problem? For one, a force-length relationship occurs with muscles. This principle states that there is an ideal resting muscle length, and when it shortens it affects the contraction strength. Therefore, any muscles shortened secondary to Anterior Head Syndrome are now weaker.
In addition, as your head moves forward of normal alignment it changes the resting angle of the muscles. Any muscles that use the angle as a mechanical advantage to complete their task are now affected. For example, if a muscle's job is to raise the shoulder girdle up and down it will now be altered by the forward head position. Instead of the muscle fibers running vertically, they are now angled forward. When you contract these muscles the force will be split in multiple directions which weakens it. Think about it like a pulley. If a pulley is positioned directly above a weighted item and where it needs to go, you just pull the rope and the weight ends up where it needs to be. If instead the pulley is angled forward, pulling the rope will move the weight both up and forward. Changing the angle alters the function of the muscle.
Anterior Head Syndrome also affects your breathing. Breathing is a good thing when you work out (in case you didn't know) because it brings oxygen to your muscles so they can replenish ATP for your workout. When your head is angled forward, the muscles of respiration don't lift your rib cage as much as they should. When this occurs, there is less room for oxygen exchange with your lungs. Your body will take in less oxygen than it ideally can. This in turn means muscles may not have the oxygen they need to produce ATP – which is energy for your muscles. Without energy, you will not get the complete workout you are looking for.
There are many more ways that Structural Shifts of your spine affect your workout. Either way, it should be evident that you may not get the optimal results needed in time for beach season. Chiropractors that focus on Structural Correction are a good starting point to address these issues. You can always try gopher milk though. I'm sure Brad Pitt drinks it.
