Sit Less and Prioritize Movement for Long-Term Fitness
Tommy Wood
Nutrition, Supplements
Creating a long-term plan for movement and health can be a bit daunting. There's so much information available today that many people just don't know where to start. What should you prioritize? Should you be going running or lifting weights? And how many times a week should you train?
These questions become increasingly important as we get older and there are greater demands on our time. However, it is always worth remembering that the long-term benefits of prioritizing health and movement are huge. Yes, leaving work thirty minutes earlier to walk home might make you feel guilty because of the emails you didn't respond to; however, people who are more active have greater well-being, are more productive at work, and have healthier children.1, 2, 3
A Simple Solution
With that and a myriad of other health benefits in mind, I concocted the great upside-down movement pyramid as a way to help you prioritize your approach to better movement.
The great upside-down movement pyramid.
Over the next few weeks I will present a progressive plan detailing why you should sit less, walk more, move stuff, move really quickly, and move for a long period of time, in that order of importance. Each level of the plan will build on the first to add layers of additional movement to your week, but give you time to put each level into practice. As before - if you're not managing to do the level above, don't do the level below. After all, you've got to stand before you can walk.
Sit Less
In case you hadn't heard, sitting is the new smoking.4 This may sound melodramatic (after all, we all have to sit), but in terms of the effects on our overall health, there is truth to it. For example, a recent meta-analysis found a 5% increase in the risk of dying (overall mortality) for every additional hour spent sitting per day - after taking physical activity into account.5 If we turn this around, people who spend more time standing also appear to have a reduced overall mortality.6
"Prolonged periods of sitting can negatively affect the way the arterial wall functions, which is directly associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease."
However, out in the real world, we often need to sit to work. Although standing desks have become increasingly popular, it's important to note this may not be much better. Standing at a desk doesn't prevent you from being hunched over a screen, and prolonged periods of standing in one place can also cause things like varicose veins and back pain.17,18
So What Should We Do?
As you're probably reading this to procrastinate whilst at work, let's do the advice bit first, and those who are interested can stick around for the science at the end.
During your commute: If you use public transport, don't take that seat. You don't need it. You can even take it up a notch by minimizing the use of support rails. Yes, you'll look silly surfing the bus, but it's surprisingly fun!
At work:
Stand (or walk) while you take phone calls or if you need to think.
Go and find that colleague rather than sending him or her an email. You're much more likely to get a positive response, and you may even make a friend.
Relocate for lunch. Better yet – take it outside.
When sitting, move position frequently, or (quietly) tap your feet to get your blood moving.
Get up regularly, or at least once an hour. Do a lap of the office, pop outside, or take the stairs. Need reminding? Plenty of free apps and programs are available to nudge you out of your chair.
Got like-minded colleagues? Stick a pull-up bar on your office door and do a couple of reps as you go in and out.
Instead of staying in the office, head outside for a walk to catch up on calls and texts.
It's okay to relax after a long day, but try not to immediately slip into a coma on the sofa, only to reappear just before bed time.
Keep getting up, or at least move position regularly.
Do a few push ups during TV ad breaks. No matter how many times they recommended this in fitness magazines, I'm still not sure anybody does it.
Do your ironing and other chores while you're catching up on Britain's Got Talent and Biggest Loser. That will give you more time to enjoy your weekends.
The minutes just before and after dinner are a great time to get up, or get out of the house for a quick walk.
The real moral of the story is to focus on minimizing the amount of time you spend in one position, rather than to demonise sitting specifically.
What's the Deal With Sitting?
If we want to dig into why sitting is so bad for our health, three different (and almost certainly connected) mechanisms are important – inflammation, insulin resistance, and blood flow.
"When we're talking about cardiovascular disease (such as heart attacks and strokes), the big problem stems from atherosclerosis – calcified 'plaques' that build up in the walls of our arteries."
While everybody was worried about cholesterol, the role of inflammation and insulin resistance in the development of heart disease, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and many cancers flew under the radar for decades. However, we're now seeing that markers of inflammation predict the risk of heart disease better than cholesterol, and if your insulin levels are low (indicating a high insulin sensitivity), then your cholesterol levels become pretty much irrelevant.7,8,9,10
Why the random trip down biochemistry lane? Because inflammation, insulin, and insulin resistance all increase with time spent sitting.11 Uh oh.
In reality, we don't have any proof that sitting directly causes insulin resistance. Perhaps people who are insulin resistant suddenly have a desire to sit more. It's unlikely, but possible. Therefore we need to look at other pieces in the puzzle, such as the way in which our blood flow changes when we sit.
When we're talking about cardiovascular disease (such as heart attacks and strokes), the big problem stems from atherosclerosis – calcified "plaques" that build up in the walls of our arteries. These can rupture, causing a blockage. Alongside things like inflammation, the way in which blood flows through our arteries affects the development of atherosclerosis. When the flow is disturbed or redirected, it puts extra stress on the arterial wall. This is why we see atherosclerosis build up in places like carotid arteries in the neck, because the artery splits into two early on, with increased turbulence at the split point (also known as the bifurcation).12 However, your arteries need some stress in order to work properly, and reducing flow can have a negative effect on arterial function.
When we sit, we bend at the hip and the knee, which reduces flow in the femoral and popliteal arteries, respectively.13,14
Left: Femoral arteries; Right: Popliteal arteries
Prolonged periods of sitting can negatively affect the way the arterial wall functions, which is directly associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.15 That change in flow caused by prolonged sitting is potentially why those arteries in the legs are a common place for atherosclerotic plaques to occur. We even see these patterns of atherosclerosis in 4,000 year-old Egyptian mummies!16 If you were important enough to have your body preserved, you probably got to spend a lot more time sitting compared to everybody else.
Start With Your Daily Routine
Conjecture about mummies aside, there's good evidence for minimizing your sitting time as much as possible. Try to work as many of the ideas above into your daily routine. That will line you up perfectly up for your next step(s) to better health – walking more.

Le métro de Téhéran est l'un des systèmes de transports en commun de la ville de Téhéran, capitale de l'Iran. Le réseau comporte sept lignes - dont une est une ligne de trains de banlieue ; il est géré par la Compagnie des transports ferroviaires de la ville de Téhéran.

Historique
En 1971 des études sont réalisées pour planifier le développement de la ville de Téhéran pour les vingt années à venir. Le rapport, publié en 1974, préconise, entre autres projets d'amélioration des transports, la réalisation d'un métro comportant sept lignes, complété par un réseau de lignes de bus et de taxis. Un décret fondant la Compagnie des trains et métros de Téhéran est publié en 1975. Des sondages géologiques et des études de tracés sont réalisés les années suivantes. Cette phase est fortement perturbée par les événements qui se succédèrent dans les années suivantes : chute du régime impérial iranien, guerre Iran-Irak suivi de problèmes de financement. En 1995, les premiers travaux commencent sur les lignes 1, 2 et 5. La ligne 5 entre finalement en service en 1999. Des tronçons de la ligne 2 sont mis en service en 2000 et une partie de la ligne 1 en 2001.

Réseau actuel

Ligne 1

Cette ligne suit un axe nord-sud. Depuis le , elle relie la station Tajrish (au nord) à la station Kahrizak(au sud). Comprenant  29 stations, la ligne est en correspondance avec les lignes 2, 3 et 4. Les rames, longues de , comportent sept voitures et sont alimentées par troisième rail en 750 volts. La vitesse maximum est de 80 km/h. Le , une nouvelle branche relie la station Shahed jusqu'à Shahr-e-Aftab ; elle a été prolongée jusqu'à l'aéroport international Imam Khomeini  le . Cette branche préfigure la ligne 8 du métro de Téhéran.

Ligne 2
La ligne 2 comporte actuellement 22 stations. La ligne part de la station de Farhangsara puis se dirige vers l'ouest jusqu'à la station Teheran (Sadeghieh). La station Imam Khomeini assure la correspondance avec la ligne 1, la station Davazeh Shemiran comporte également la correspondance avec la ligne 4. Sa longueur totale est de 19 km. Les rames qui circulent sur la ligne sont du même type que sur la ligne 1.

Ligne 3
La ligne 3 comporte un axe nord-est sud-ouest. La ligne part de Azadegan et remonte au niveau de la gare, continue vers le nord sous l'avenue Valiasr, puis tourne à droite sous la rue Beheshti et remonte vers le nord-est sous l'autoroute Sayyade Shirazi, dessert le quartier de Lavizan pour finir ensuite à Ghaem en correspondance avec un terminal de bus. La ligne 3 est en correspondance avec la ligne 1 et 4.

Ligne 4
La ligne 4, longue de  comporte 19 stations. dessert un axe est-ouest similaire à la ligne 2. La ligne part de Shahid Kolahdouz et dessert le quartier de Pirouzi jusqu'à la station Meydane Shohada et est en correspondance avec la ligne 2 à Darvazeh Shemiran. Elle continue sous le boulevard Enghelab et arrive avec la station Darvazeh Dolat en correspondance avec la ligne 1. Elle continue ensuite à Ferdosi, Theatre Shahr (en correspondance avec la ligne 3), Meydane Enghelab Eslami et arrive encore en correspondance avec la ligne 2 à Shademan. Elle continue ensuite jusqu'à la place Azadi. Depuis la statition de Bimeh, une branche part vers l'aéroport Mehrabad, une autre branche vers Ekbatan Eram e Sabz (qui est en correspondance avec la ligne 5).

Ligne 5 (Tehran-Karaj-Golshahr)

La ligne 5 est une ligne longue de  de train classique (vitesse maximale de ) intégrée dans le système de transports en commun de la ville. Cela apparaît nettement dans le fait que les rames sont constituées de huit voitures voyageurs à deux étages tractées par une locomotive électrique (longueur totale 248 mètres). Le réseau peut accueillir des rames de dix voitures voyageurs. La locomotive est alimentée en courant alternatif 25 kV 50Hz. Cette ligne est également la seule à être climatisée. Elle relie, à l'ouest, Golshahr à Téhéran (Sadegieh) à l'est ; cette station est également le terminus est de la ligne 2. La ligne comporte au total 12 stations et est parcourue par des trains avec une fréquence de dix minutes.

Ligne 6
La ligne 6 a une orientation nord sud. Elle part du sud de Teheran a la station Chabdollazim et remonte ensuite vers Hefdah Shahrivar en correspondance avec la ligne 7 et remonte a Meydane Shohada en correspondance avec la ligne 4 et remonte a Emam Hossein avec la ligne 2 en correspondance. Elle tourne vers l'ouest en desservant Meydane Sepah, Bahar shiraz, Haft e Tir qui est en correspondance avec la ligne 1, Meydane Valiasr qui est en correspondance avec la ligne 3 et continue sous le boulevard Keshavarz en desservant Boustan e Laleh, Kargar, l'Université Tarbiat Modarres qui est en correspondance avec la ligne 7, et dessert les quartiers nord-oust de la ville pour finir à Sulaghan. Un premier tronçon fonctionne sur  entre Shohada Square et Dowlat Abad depuis le .

Ligne 7

La ligne 7 a été mise en service le . Elle part de Basij et continue pendant  en desservant le quartier de Molavi et Hefdah e Shahrivar et arrive à la station Meydane Mohamadiyeh en correspondance avec la ligne 1. Elle continue en desservant Mahdiye et Helale Ahmar, et tourne brusquement vers le nord pour desservir le quartier de Komeil et Beryanak et arrive en correspondance avec la ligne 2 à la station Shahid Navvab-e Saffavi. Elle continue toujours vers le nord en desservant Towhid, l', le Parc Gouftegoo, la Tour Milad et arrive à Meydane Sanat. Les prolongements seront vers le nord en direction de Yadegare Emam durant l'année 2018.

Réseau actuel

Développements futurs

4 lignes sont prévues (8 à 11). La construction de la ligne 10 a commencé en 2020.

Al Qaeda #2 sent to meet his virgins, courtesy of the USA? Update: He's not dead yet?
BOOM:
Atiyah Abd al Rahman, a top al Qaeda leader who long served Osama bin Laden, was reportedly killed on Aug. 22 in Waziristan, Pakistan, according to multiple press reports. Both the Associated Press and Reuters cite US officials as saying that Rahman has been killed. Matt Apuzzo of the AP reports that a US official would not confirm how Atiyah had been killed, but the AP story notes that on same day, the CIA launched a drone strike in Waziristan.
US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal would neither confirm nor deny Atiyah's reported death. One senior US intelligence official observed that verifying the deaths of top terrorists is difficult and the US has gotten it wrong in the past. Atiyah himself, the official pointed out, was reportedly killed in 2010. Still, this official said, it is certainly possible that the new reports of Atiyah's demise are accurate.
Atiyah has been described as al Qaeda's "operations chief" in some press reports, and his role in plotting terrorist attacks has been repeatedly noted. But according to one senior US intelligence official contacted by The Long War Journal, Atiyah was al Qaeda's "general manager" and also served as Osama bin Laden's "chief of staff."
While Atiyah was involved in plotting attacks, the official said, he was not really the "operational commander." In the nascent plot to attack the US on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, for example, Atiyah would pass messages back and forth between Osama bin Laden and operatives elsewhere, but the tactical details of the plot were left to other al Qaeda commanders.
Atiyah was also given a senior role in managing al Qaeda's finances, the official said. Only the most loyal and trustworthy terrorists would be given such a role.
You can read more about this thankfully dead medieval lunatic glorious martyr to Allah's cause at The Long War Journal.
As TLWJ points out, this surely hurts Al Qaeda by killing another senior leader, disrupting operations and spreading fear and mistrust — did a traitor give Atiyah's location away? Are there spies in their midst?
But we should keep in mind that Al Qaeda is a deliberately decentralized organization, with branches (Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) and franchises (Al Qaeda in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb) that are fully capable of planning and carrying out operations on their own. Indeed, the attempted Christmas bombing over Detroit and the jihad attack at Ft. Hood were both planned or supported by AQAP, while AQIM has been linked to plots to launch a Mumbai-style attack in Europe. Striking a blow at Al Qaeda-central, while important, shouldn't be and I'm sure isn't our sole focus. (See also and also.)
Coming back to the probably-late Mr. Atiyah, if he is dead, it's almost certain that this is one fruit of the intelligence haul we made when we looted bin Laden's compound after killing him last May. You can bet there have been and will be others, as we exploit that trove of information for all it's worth. And one has to wonder about the reaction of the next guy to be promoted to second-in-command: give thanks to Allah or run shrieking in terror? It doesn't seem to be a job with much future in it…
UPDATE: From TLWJ's blog, Threat Matrix, doubts are being cast on reports that Atiyah is really dead. This is a reminder that many such reports of prominent AQ and Taliban casualties have turned out to be premature. Perhaps Al Qaeda's number two isn't quite ready to go on the cart, yet.

"Succulents really confuse me," my friend declared, causing me to laugh out loud unexpectedly.
She had taken the clipping and stuck it in a glass of water, and brought it to work where I'm guessing she could watch over it more closely. Over time, the branch had grown a beautiful, elaborate root system, visible through the glass. It looked pretty sitting on her desk, a welcome distraction from all the piles of papers and books strewn about her work area. Her friend had encouraged her to plant the clipping, allowing the root system to establish a completely new plant.
A few days later, I was sweeping the sidewalk along the side of the bungalow and accidentally broke off a few branches from a large potted succulent. I knew instantly that I had a new project on my hands. I brought the stems inside and began looking for something to store them in while I waited for them to (possibly) grow roots, creating a whole new plant. I found this beautiful footed goblet, its jeweled-green glass blending perfectly with the green hue of the leaves. I arranged the broken stems into the goblet and quickly found a resting place for it on the windowsill in my office.
The succulent clippings have been there for over a week, still green and beautiful and happily soaking up the sun that comes through the window. I think I've noticed the tiniest, faintest hint of a root growing from the bottom of the stem. It could be real, or simply a product of my wishful thinking.
Either way, I'm going to enjoy them for as long as they last.
I love succulents and they're relatively easy to grow. I do the same thing with indoor house plants.

Charming, rustic vineyard cafe, Hinton's is proud to boast that most of the food and wine they serve up comes right from their front door. Lunches are the main draw here - dinner by prior arrangement.
It's a contemporary place, lots of bright artwork on the walls and spanky new furniture, but it's the menu that's the really creative heart of this place. Brunch/Lunch is what they specialise in here, so expect it to get busy (people drive for miles just to eat here).
Starters consist of an informal platter to share and the mains have a lot of seafood involved, paired with Hinton's individual and well-thought out salads and garnishes. The wine list, as you'd expect from a renowned winery, is tantalisingly moorish, and pre-ordering is encouraged to avoid disappointment.


Ensuring that children receive nutritious school meals requires school-wide cooperation. Yesterday, we were able to give back to staff by offering a complimentary healthy school meal to staff members at our partner schools. The menu yesterday was popcorn chicken served with a fresh romaine salad, bagged baby carrots, a piece of fresh fruit, a slice of bread, and low fat or skim milk.
We would like to thank the principals, administrative staff, teachers, kitchen staff, lunchroom volunteers, janitorial staff, and all others who handle applications and class lists, collect lunch orders from the classrooms each day, ensure that lunchtime runs smoothly, help prepare the cafeteria for another day of healthy meals, and play a role in the success of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program at their schools.

A new EU-ratified double tax treaty between Cyprus and Kazakhstan opens up "significant" investment and business opportunities for the two countries in the wake of the global pandemic, a conference was told.
Speaking during a digital conference hosted by Invest Cyprus, the national investment promotion agency of Cyprus, Satybaldy Burshakov, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Israel and Cyprus, invited businesses from both countries to make better use of potential investment opportunities in "mutually beneficial" joint projects.
"Kazakhstan and Cyprus are linked by strong bonds of friendship and cooperation. We consider Cyprus to be one of our most important partners in South Europe", he said.
According to national statistics provided by Kazakhstan, investments from Cyprus totalled at 165 million US dollars in the first half of this year, placing the island into the top 10 investors in the country. Over 70 companies from Cyprus also registered in Kazakhstan this year, and over the past nine months, trade between the countries reached 29. 8 million US dollars, the conference heard.
"The commercial exchange between our two countries has been also developing and at the same time, we need to stimulate new projects, which may contribute to the trade growth", said Mr Burshakov.
"The great interaction between Invest Cyprus and Kazakh Invest, as well as the two Chambers of Commerce and Industry, will provide us with a better understanding about the existing opportunities and the possibilities of collaboration between the two countries, either in the commercial sphere or the field of investments", he added.
The online roadshow also highlighted the reasons why Cyprus can function as an EU gateway to global investments.
George Campanellas, Chief Executive of Invest Cyprus, said: "Cyprus is the ideal platform for channelling investments into the European Union, and for international companies that want to relocate and set up headquarters in Europe."
"The benefits include access to markets, an excellent regulatory structure that is based on common law principle, an attractive tax regime, strong business support services and the low cost of doing business. Last but not least, it is the high quality of life", he added.
Cyprus's handling of the pandemic helped reduced the negative impact on the economy, and projections a faster recovery from next year onwards compared to similar competing jurisdictions, Mr Campanellas said. The newly adopted double tax treaty between Cyprus and Kazakhstan, which comes into effect on 1st January 2021, cements relations between the two countries.
Michalis Michael, Chairman of Invest Cyprus said: "The new EU ratified double tax treaty between Cyprus and Kazakhstan is considered very important for both countries, and was well received by the business community as it is expected to open to open up new investment opportunities." "The substantially reduced cost of doing business in Cyprus should be a very good indication that Cyprus is very well suited to take up investments from Kazakhstan to Europe, and vice versa", he added.
Other speakers at the event included Baurzhan Sartbayev, Chairman of the Board of Kazakh Invest,Andreas Yiasemides, President of the Cyprus Investment Funds Association and a number of professionals from KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, EY, Astrobank, Kinanis LLC and Tassos Papadopoulos LLC. The event was chaired by Ms Pavlina Mela, Board Member of Invest Cyprus and was attended by investors, wealth and fund managers, legal experts, accounting firms, investment banks and other experts.

Pyrenees Life & Style Blog.
Winter has arrived in the high Ariege! We decided yesterday 29/11 to have a quick trip up to Mur de Péguère; to walk up to the Cap du Camil. Great, very clear views.
The skiing season is getting into swing.... Ax 3 Domaines has 15 pistes open (but check online before travelling!).
Forecasting sun this week. Road access only....clear & easy drive.
Plateau de Beille is planning to open on Sat 5th Dec. 50 cm snow at 1800m. Access road clear.
First snow, first snowshoeing trip?
From the last moments of Summer last week to the depths of Winter this....time to pack away the shorts and dust off the snowshoes!
Over the last 3 winters we have enjoyed amazing snowy days in the Pyrenees using our snowshoes. Of course there are some rudimental lessons to learn on how to attach & use snowshoes, but in essence you can begin to enjoy the trails and wide open snowfields in a matter of minutes. The importance of general safety in the mountains is obviously always paramount, especially the threat of avalanches.
However, the easiest way to start is to choose one of the Nordic ski areas in Ariege, such as Plateau de Beille in the picture above. Access by road is good, you can hire equipment and follow well-marked trails in complete safety. Hire and piste access is about 20 Euros per person for the day. A quieter alternative that provides the same facilities in a beautiful location is the Etang de Lers, just beyond Massat.
There are a number of great places to go off-piste around the Foix area in particular. A guide is recommended though.
We will post here some of our snowshoeing trips this winter....watch this space!
In the meantime, if you are interested in having a go at snowshoeing, please do contact us if you have any quesions?
There are cheap flights to Toulouse & Carcassonne. Plateau de Beille is about 1.45 hours south of Toulouse. We can provide accommodation & advice on guides, equipment & locations.
Is Autumn the best time of the year in the Pyrenees?
With the weather as we are currently experiencing, the answer is a resounding YES! But to be fair, the long 'Indian Summer' of Oct & Nov 2015 has been exceptional, even this far south, in the Ariege. And also it depends on your interests; swimming lakes are a bit chilly at this time of the year, although sitting on a sheltered lakeside 'beach' is still very warm & pleasant. For skiers the opening of pistes must still seem a long way off but in reality the Ariege slopes will, in all likelihood, be open in a few short weeks, by mid-December. That is the unpredictability of the Pyrenees. Indeed, we had the first high snows yesterday. It can snow in any month on the highest peaks.
The Pyrenees winters tend to be short but cold in Jan & Feb. There has been a lot of snow in each of the last 3 winters with skiing continuing into Apr. Spring can emerge from mid-Feb; temperatures of 20+ are not uncommon in Mar. Summers are long & hot, generally mid-30 degrees. But the problem there in lies that the mountains generate storms mid-afternoon on most summer days. With so much snow accumulating each winter, the high mountain passes & paths are closed well into June and crossing the Pyrenees safely without the hindrance of old, compact snow is not possible much before the end of July. High-level snow, as mentioned, usually returns by mid-Oct. So, if you are seeking the heights, above 2000m, to climb and walk in warmth but not extreme heat, then Sep through until early Nov is a wonderful period to visit. For those not necessarily seeking the higher altitudes, but tranquility, a bit of history & culture, some fine cuisine and a warm sun on your back then, yes the Ariege is at its' very best in the Autumn! That said, there are strong arguments in favour of each of the Seasons. I will make those other arguments undoubtedly as time passes!

Der Kalvarienberg ist ein 90 m über NHN hoher Berg in Hardensetten, einem Ortsteil von Bad Laer. Auf ihm ist der Hardensettener Kreuzweg angelegt.

Lage
Der Kalvarienberg liegt an der Glandorfer Straße, die von Bad Laer nach Glandorf führt. Sie ist in Bad Laer im Ortsteil von Hardensetten unschwer erkennbar an einer Linde, der sogenannten Prediger-Linde, die am südlichen Straßenrand steht.

Geschichte
Laut Überlieferungen gab es auf dem Kalvarienberg von Hardensetten eine heidnische Gerichts- und Kultstätte. Iroschottische Mönche bauten dieser Überlieferung nach an dieser historischen Stelle eine Kapelle. Diese Kapelle wurde mehrfach zerstört und wieder aufgebaut – und im Jahr 1802 als "lästiges Verkehrshindernis" endgültig abgerissen. 1857 wurde dort der Hardensettener Kreuzweg eingeweiht.

OPINION: People confuse race and ethnicity
Victoria Sponar, Staff Writer|February 8, 2019
The children in this photo are part of the Guarani tribe in Salta, Argentina. They should not be cast aside and ignored when speaking of Argentina because they, too, are a part of this country.
Agenzia Fides (www.fides.org)
Here's a hot take: it's time that the difference between race and ethnicity is finally discussed in detail, and many people still do not (or refuse to) understand the complexities between the two.
It has been causing an amount of unnecessary quarrels between people, and it is a problem that needs fixing.
For example, an argument that has recently blown up on social media is the fact that one cannot be Latino because they are white. The person that stated this decided to call the entire country of Argentina "white," and went on even further to say its residents are not Latinos.
This is not at all true, and declaring this is deeply problematic.
Race does not equate to where one is from, for most countries are filled with many different types of races. Take the United States for example: in this country, the population is made up of black, white, Asian, and indigenous people that all fall under the category of being American.
Race does not equate to where one is from, for most countries are filled with many different types of races."
— Staff Writer Victoria Sponar
Latin America has a large population of all types of races as well — black, white, Asian, indigenous and mestizo people all live in these countries and contribute to the culture. All the people living there, no matter the color of their skin, are Latin American because they live in and were raised there.
Now, for people to be Hispanic, they have to be from a Spanish-speaking country. That person could be of any race and still be Hispanic. For example, a black Dominican man can be both black and Hispanic, an Asian Peruvian can be both Asian and Hispanic, and a white Spaniard can be both white and Hispanic.
However, a common mistake that is made is calling Brazilians Hispanic and Spaniards Latinos. Brazil was colonized by Portugal instead of Spain, and therefore its inhabitants speak Portuguese, not Spanish. This makes Brazilians not Hispanic, but still Latino, considering the fact that Brazil is in Latin America.
Spain is in Europe, not Latin America. Hence, its residents are not Latino, but still Hispanic since it is a Spanish-speaking country.
The differences between each word have been made clear, so let's go back and evaluate exactly why what that person said is problematic. Argentina has a high population of white Latinos compared to most other Latin American countries due to the Argentine government committing a massive genocide against the native Argentines, wiping out a grand portion of their population.
[M]any rich white Argentines claim to be proud of the fact that the country is so 'white'."
Black Argentines were also nearly completely wiped out because of the Argentine government doing horrendous things such as having Afro-Argentine men as "human shields" during the Paraguayan War of 1865. This war left a heavily disproportionate ratio of black women to men, forcing many of the women to have children with non-black partners.
Also, former President of Argentina Domingo Sarmiento's "genocide was so successful that Afro-Argentines were nearly wiped out by the end of the 19th century; by the 1895 national census, the government didn't even bother to recognize their existence."
The tremendous racism and monstrous actions toward Argentines of color that took place is not unknown to its citizens.
Unfortunately, many rich white Argentines claim to be proud of the fact that the country is so "white," and many of these are from the province of Buenos Aires, the industrial capital of Argentina. Many of these "Chetos," an Argentine word used to describe someone as snobby, are seen as arrogant, racist, and discriminatory to the outside provinces that consist of more people of color.
As someone from outside the province of Buenos Aires, I know how these people view us. Chetos call the people living in the rural areas uneducated, poor, and "darker," for many still believe that the whiter you are, the more superior you are.
Chetos say this because many of these outside provinces are not exposed to good public education or resources, and poverty is a tremendous problem here as well. Another thing that they know about the interior provinces is that there is a greater deal of indigenous people and brown Argentines.
Provinces, especially (but not limited only to) ones like Salta, Jujuy, Chaco, and Tucuman have heavily concentrated amounts of indigenous and brown people that, despite everything that the government has put them through, are still an important part of the country and still continue to contribute to the Argentine culture.
They are the true natives of this land and deserve the respect of every single Argentine, especially the rich white Chetos who continue to view them as "inferior."
What the so-called social activist said about the entire country of Argentina being "white" and non-Latino is giving these racist Buenos Aires Argentines who see themselves as superior due to their European ancestry and richness exactly what they want to hear.
They want nothing to do with the impoverished Argentines of color in the interior provinces, and want nothing more than for them to be forgotten and ignored by the rest of the world.
Recognizing the heavily European-influenced population in Argentina is factual evidence and fine, but calling the entire country white only casts aside and ignores the people of color that reside in so many areas of this large, melting pot of a nation.
This is a generalization that only benefits the discriminators that do not want to recognize the beauty, power and existence of the native people.

As residents and consumers, businesses and employees, let's all give ourselves a pat on the back for helping to nicely come out of the "Great Recession." Last week we reported that Glenwood sales tax receipts were up 11 percent in October and revenues throughout our region are seeing growth.
The Post Independent is reflective of the community, and we, too, are pleased to share in the growth allowing us to add a couple of jobs. I have two full-time roles at the PI. Beyond being publisher, I am also the advertising manager. The positions tie together nicely. When we are able to grow our advertising business, we are able to reinvest in staffing to provide additional local content.
The world of advertising has changed greatly since I began in the business in 1974. Back in the day, a town would have a newspaper or two, three or four choices on TV and a bunch of radio stations. Today, most communities have one newspaper, 100s of TV channels, unlimited radio options from around the world through digital streaming and endless digital choices for information.
While big-city newspapers are struggling, small-town newspapers that do it right are thriving. And a free model like the PI that focuses on strong local content and also cutting-edge digital marketing is a real dream for a publisher and an advertising manager.
Advertising, like news, is key information that we produce daily for you. Since each of us consume information in different ways, providing you with the information you want has become a science. If a business is interested in providing its message to most of you, our print and digital newspaper does the trick, as better than 70 percent of you read us on a regular basis. We thank you for your patronage.
Some businesses would prefer to target only those people who have the greatest interest in their message. It is our job to find the means to get you that offer. How do we do it? Well, that's the science.
In print, we have sections of the newspaper that will do a good job of reaching people with specific interests. "Scene" on Fridays reaches those of you interested in entertainment, as an example.
Special print products are another option. In January, we will publish a special product that will provide tips on how you keep your weight loss or healthy lifestyle resolutions. Businesses that offer products or services to aid that effort have a great place to showcase their offers to those that have shown an interest by reading the section. Based on feedback we have received, we will be adding a monthly coupon product in 2015 that you can access both digitally or in print.
Digitally, the options are endless. Have you ever noticed an advertisement that follows you online no matter where you go? That is called "retargeting." If you are looking at information online regarding a new car, while we don't know who you are, we know you have interest in new cars. I find this option creepy, although they say consumers appreciate receiving ads in topics in which they have interest.
Another fun option we just began to offer is sweepstakes. Eagle Crest Nursery is currently running a promotion — http://bit.ly/1IwsNT9 — for you to register to win a $100 gift card. The goal is to introduce you to the nursery's Christmas Shoppe and to gain your e-mail address if you opt in to receive information about the nursery. This promotion will end Friday.
Today's world offers multiple choices for how you get information, both news and shopping. Yesterday's My Space is today's Facebook, which could be tomorrow's who knows? One of my roles as advertising manager is to stay on top of all of the advertising delivery systems. When we work with businesses we try to understand what they are trying to accomplish and then provide recommendations to reach their audience. When we successfully bring an advertisers message to an individual that wanted to receive it, everyone wins.

Owensboro CC, German American Bank Announce New Partnership
The Owensboro (KY) Convention Center announced the details of a new partnership with German American Bank. The City of Owensboro, the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce, the Owensboro Convention Center and German American Bank, made the announcement on June 5 at a ribbon-cutting event.
"We are excited to make this announcement which strengthens our commitment to the Owensboro community," said Amy Jackson, Regional President of German American Bank. "This partnership with the Owensboro Convention Center aligns well with German American Bank's dedication to support local communities and enhance quality of life."
Spectra's General Manager, Laura Alexander, said, "This is a very exciting announcement for the community and we are happy to partner with the team at German American Bank."
Spectra is the provider of venue management and food services and hospitality to the Owensboro Convention Center.
Laurie Flasko Dares to Be Kind as Convention Center Keynote Speaker at VenueConnect
#daretobekind, #laurieflasko, IAVM, VenueConnect
Laurie Flasko, Founder and CEO of Laurie Flasko & Associates, Inc., knows about customer service. With more than 20 years of experience in the fields of customized training, customer service, leadership development, and team building, her skill set is one that draws audiences to become better equipped in these areas of their own organizations. It is a reason why when she delivers the keynote presentation for the Convention Center track at VenueConnect in Chicago in July that the room is expected to be full of IAVM members looking for special nuggets about customer service to take back home.
If in part of her presentation the topic of casinos pops up, don't be surprised. Laurie began her training career as part of the pre-opening team at Casino Niagara, where she was responsible for training more than 2,500 employees. Later, she was recruited by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission to deliver the pre-opening customer service and leadership training for the racetrack slots and charity casinos.
Against this backdrop, it is time to visit with Laurie about her presentation and what attendees can expect to hear during the session.
"Dare to be Kind" is part of the title of your session. Do you find that most leaders seem to have somewhat of a difficult time accepting this concept and if so, why?
Many of us have been taught that to be a leader, you have to be tough, you can "never let them see you sweat" and "nice guys finish last." You don't see a K.P.I. for kindness in most workplaces, so when leaders are only measured on bottom line results, it can be easy to overlook kindness as a successful and powerful approach to leadership. That being said, trends are starting to indicate that more and more leaders are embracing the concept of kind leadership.
Can kindness be falsely interpreted as weakness?
Absolutely it can. However, I find that kindness is anything but weak, rather I find that it is a display of strength! It can be tough to choose kindness when you are busy; dealing with deadlines or critical issues and it is easy to become irritated, angry; or impatient.
As well, kindness does not mean you don't take care of tough issues. For example, a tough conversation about a performance issue is more productive when done in a respectful, kind manner than when delivered without thought, care; or empathy. Finally, kindness also goes hand in hand with resilience, being able to handle whatever life throws your way in a kind way.
What are some of the benefits leaders derive from applying kind principles?
When someone acts kind, one act of kindness creates a "ripple effect" of four more kind acts according to research from Stamford University. This "ripple effect" creates stronger teams, higher morale, higher employee engagement, higher customer satisfaction, reduced stress, and, of course, all of these make higher profits! So aside from making everyone feel all happy inside, there is a legitimate benefit to being kind that justifies kindness being a business strategy rather than just a warm and fuzzy thing to do.
Kindness also works in a positive loop: you do something kind for others, you are happier and want to continue doing more kind acts! No record profit can compare to the difference being kind makes for people feeling happier in their everyday lives both in and out of the workplace.
My favorite benefit of all is that leaders may be changing an entire life without knowing it just by doing something small and kind for those they lead and look after.
In such a fast-paced world as our members live in working at busy venues, are these principles even more important to overall staff performance?
It has been said that nearly 85% of leader's results are based on the work of other people, and in this industry in particular it may be even higher. Based on the amount of "spinning parts" it takes to run a successful venue and the fast-paced environment of the industry, it becomes easier to forget things such as kindness in favor of results and productivity. However, it is these little things that make the difference between a good and a WOW experience for your team and your customers.
Do you have any takeaways you would like to share for those who attend your session to take back to their convention center?
Kindness is a legitimate business advantage to those who effectively use it in the workplace. It isn't weak, but rather the opposite as it takes strength and effort to act kind. The results speak for themselves.
Kind leaders are seen more favorably, get more work done for them, get more emotional buy-in and can change both their own and others' lives through even small acts of kindness for those they lead.
Engagement scores increase, customer satisfaction and loyalty grows, teams strengthen, stress reduces, and people are happier when leaders lead with kindness.
Cliff Wallace, CVE, Recognized with VMA Lifetime Achievement Award
#cliffwallace, #vmacongress, #vmalifetimeachievementaward
Cliff Wallace, CVE, just added one more accolade to a career full of them when he was honored with the Venue Management Association's Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2019 Venue Industry Awards recently completed at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Wallace, member of the board of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, was feted at the Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress along with several other honored category recipients.
VMA says its Lifetime Achievement Award "looks to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of an industry stalwart who has made a significant contribution to the Association, the venue management profession and our industry in the Asia Pacific region."
That person is in full bloom with Cliff Wallace, known to people inside and outside the industry throughout the world as a tireless worker and champion of the public assembly venue industry.
Wallace's career in the industry spans a remarkable 57 years and indeed covers the globe, something even Wallace said he could not have foreseen happening at one time earlier in his career. Among his professional association credits Wallace served as IAVM (then IAAM) President in 1984-85 while in New Orleans, and is an Honorary President of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI).
Notably in the Asia and Pacific region, Wallace has been an instructor at the VMA Venue Management School (VMS) from 1996 to 2012, has served on the VMA Board from 2001 through 2003, and has often spoken at the annual Congress. He has also contributed significantly to industry initiatives in Asia as well as playing a key role in establishing the VMA's Affiliation Agreement with the IAVM in 2007.
He has been an enthusiastic member and ambassador for the VMA and VMS in the region and has been instrumental in expanding the reach into Asia by both sending and encouraging many students to attend the VMS, and in the development of the VMA/UFI partnership to deliver the VMS China School.
"Our industry is unique and draws to it incredible individuals who are passionate about what they do," said VMA President Steve Harper, CVE. "From memorable moments for their patrons to iconic events that form part of our nation's culture and history, they are a rare breed and we love to celebrate them."
Other recipients at the VVMA's Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress include:
Venue Professional of the Year Award – Gary Mears CVE – General Manager, The Events Centre – Caloundra
Allied Professional of the Year Award – Paul McCarthy – Director, PBM Safety
Young Achiever of the Year Award – Eray Saban – Stadium Event Manager, Marvel Stadium
Reports Call Social Finance (SoFI) as Naming Rights Holder for New LA Stadium
#losangelesstadium, #socialfinance, #sofi
Social Finance, a private lender that specializes in refinancing student loans, has reportedly acquired naming rights for the new $5.2 billion stadium in Los Angeles that will be home to the National Football League's Rams and Chargers. The stadium site is in Inglewood near the LA Laker's former Great Western Forum basketball arena.
The new stadium will seat 72,000 and several media and industry outlets are reporting the price tag to be in the vicinity of $20 million a year for 20 years.
The reported deal from multiple sources is in financial line with another NFL stadium which has two tenants — MetLife Stadium in New York that is home to the Giants and Jets.
The LA stadium will open in 2020 and has been named host for the 2022 Super Bowl, 2023 NCAA Football Championship Game, and the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, which it will share with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
As for Social Finance (SoFi), it is a major dip into sports marketing for a company which just last year finalized a deal to serve as presenting sponsor of the Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament. The company has also sponsored the Pac-12 Conference men's basketball tournament, the Winter X Games and the 2019 NBA play-offs.
The district already has its first tenant in the west coast headquarters of NFL Media, which will occupy 200,000 square feet next to the stadium. Other development in the district to be completed includes retail space, numerous restaurants, movie theater, hotel, and residential property.
SoFi was founded in 2011 and at the time began a business refinancing student loan debt that has grown to now include mortgage loans, personal loans, and wealth management.
Golden State Warriors Continue Signing Partners for New Arena
Healthcare provider Kaiser Permanente became the latest partner for the Golden State Warriors when the NBA team moves into its new Chase Center for the 2019-20 basketball season. The company secured naming rights for the team's 11-acre plaza.
Before the venue opens for hoops, it will play host to a Metallica concert slated for September 6. Golden State hosts its first-pre-season game versus the rival Los Angeles Lakers on October 5.
Kaiser Permanente is no stranger to the team as it is a current commercial partner with Thrive City, a community gathering place designed to bring people together from all over the Bay Area and provide health programs and services. Thrive is Kaiser's health and wellness slogan.
The name Thrive City carries over as the official name of the district surrounding Chase Center, while Kaiser Permanente has been named official team physician of the Warriors. Perhaps best of all in contrast to the team's current Oracle Arena, which is limited in attracting fans outside of the venue itself, Thrive City will provide year-round health and wellness programming, including Get Fit clinics, yoga sessions, farmer's markets, and ice skating.
Thrive City will also be highlighted by public art, including a signature piece by international artist Olafur Eliasson located at the East Entrance of Chase Center. "The first year of Chase Center will be an incredible year of discovery for the community as we'll continuously roll out new programming, retail, restaurants and entertainment at Thrive City," said Rick Welts, Warriors president and chief operating officer.
"We could not have chosen a better partner to activate the surrounding district at Chase Center as Kaiser Permanente's focus and commitment to the community runs parallel with our vision for the project and this entire district. We know this will become a gathering place for everyone and are excited to see it come to life over the first year of operation."
Thrive City will tip off later this summer with a Get Fit clinic and will continue with ongoing programming throughout the year. Thrive City will now be home to the retail stores and restaurants planned for the surrounding district, and will be unveiled over the course of the first year of opening.
"The Golden State Warriors are one of the most impactful brands in professional sports, and we are thrilled to join with them to improve the health of the Bay Area communities we serve through Thrive City, which will serve as a flagship presence and destination for total health," said Bernard Tyson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente.
"Additionally, broadening our partnership with the Warriors to become the official team physicians demonstrates our excellence in sports medicine. Our leading team of sports medicine specialists will bring expert care to support the ongoing good health of the team."

Unlike complex proprietary systems, Symbisa is off-the-shelf and comes with a complete international GSM connectivity and 500 free credits that's ready to configure and go-live within minutes. Symbisa's hardware carries multiple sensors enabling users to track everything from GPS location and altitude through to temperature, light, orientation and light. Data can be viewed via the Symbisa Portal, through an API or even directly into Excel cells through Microsoft Office 365.
The Symbisa's sensor array combines a variety of sensors and a GSM modem coupled with Hanhaa Mobile's secure global communication network to allow development of an out of the box plug and play global mobile sensing solution. The Symbisa ecosystem incorporates a sensing hardware module which gathers environmental pieces of data from its sensors and streams them through a secure, self-contained, global GSM network connection to a secure cloud location. From there, users can access the data from their module(s) in a variety of ways at the time they choose. Users are not charged by the amount of data used, rather by how often the data is captured and uploaded. This provides users with a well-defined end user cost model. Additionally, the user can send direct from excel, data such as messages or barcodes that are displayed on the e-ink display on the module. Symbisa sends data to the Hanhaa customer portal by connecting through Hanhaa's global mobile network, Hanhaa Mobile.

Introduction Last year I've participated in IoT on Wheels design challenge with my project Smart Drive. The idea of the project was to connect different participants on the wheels for a safer drive. My project required bi-directional communication, GPS positioning and sensors data. After a quick look at Symbisa hardware specs and advertising materials I felt that it can be a good platform to support my Smart Drive project as it has key technology capabilities from hardware and communication perspective as well APIs to receive data and manage devices.But soon after receiving device, getting related documentation and getting answers from Symbisa support it become clear that my expectations can't be achieved with the current implementation of Symbisa firmware and its cloud platform....

IntroductionAbout me I am a self-employed IT Consultant based in London, UK. In my spare time I am a STEM Ambassador,an Assessor for the CREST Awards programme and all-round electronics enthusiast. I have a BSc degree in Electronics and Physics from Edinburgh University. What is the Hanhaa Symbisa IoT Dev Kit? The Symbisa was originally a Kickstarter project. The Kickstarter project was cancelled when Hahaa obtained significant funding from a large electronics company. The result of this funding was Parcelive - a sophisticated parcel-tracking device that not only lets you know where your parcel is, but also whether it has been opened, dropped, turned upside down, is too hot, too humid etc. The Symbisa appears to be a Parcelive repurposed as a consumer device (rather than a parcel...

Toronto - Toronto's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David McKeown, issued a standard heat alert Tuesday, but with temperatures feeling like 40-plus degrees Celsius, the city is now under an Extreme Heat Alert.
A heat wave has plagued the city of Toronto for the last week or so. The sun has shined, but no rain has fallen. The heat has cooked up Torontonians, but according to the latest weather forecasts from the Weather Network, there is no respite anytime soon.
On Tuesday, Dr. David McKeown, the city's Medical Officer of Health, issued a heat alert. A day later, Dr. McKeown upgraded it to an Extreme Heat Alert, which will be in effect until further notice.
This is the city's first extreme heat alert of the year. Temperatures will hit 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) Wednesday, but feel like 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit. Thursday's high is projected to be 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), but it will feel like 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit).
The city has also issued "Beat the Heat" precautions, including urging the public to drink lots of water, staying out of the sun, reducing strenuous activity between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and staying in air-conditioned venues.
Landlords of apartment buildings that do not have air conditioners must provide their tenants with a cooling room.
"During an Extreme Heat Alert, the public is encouraged to call or visit family, friends and neighbours, especially isolated adults and seniors who are at greater risk of suffering from heat-related illness, to make sure they are cool and drinking plenty of fluids," said the Toronto medical officer.

Q: Using a Google Sheets button to switch tabs I have made a "drawing" in Google Sheets. I want to use it as a button to switch to a particular tab. Is this possible? Would I need to write a script for this?

A: Yes it is possible.
Just write the following simple script in your script editor and assign it to your image by right clicking on it.
function go2PriceTab() {
  goToSheet("Price List");
  }

function goToSheet(sheetName) {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(sheetName);
  SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheet);}

(Of course you can change the script name go2PriceTag to whatever you like)
As an alternative to a script:
You can also use the F5 shortcut and write the tab name in the field.
Just make sure you have enabled it beforehand.

If you do not want to enable the shortcuts, use the help menu where you type Go to range for the pop-up to appear.
You then write the tab's name and hit Enter

A: Yes. You need a script. It's not possible using simple options.
