Low Pressure System Will Pass New York City; Rain is also Forecasted

It is expected that a low-pressure system will affect the region today and overnight before passing east of the region on Sunday morning.
High pressure rises near the area on Sunday and moves into the region late Sunday night and into Monday morning.
Through the beginning of next week, the high will mostly maintain control.
Low-pressure systems track well to the north and south of the area for the middle of the week, followed by high-pressure systems for the end of the week.
A modest snowy storm is a forecast for today throughout most Canadian interior.
Meanwhile, precipitation continues to track eastward into the area, with most of it falling like rain. However, isolated reports of ice pellets have been throughout sections of the lower Hudson Valley and into Fairfield County, Connecticut.
While the low-pressure system that is scheduled to strike the region today and tonight are now predicted to track a bit further north and the area is trending warmer, a period of the light wintry mix is still expected in the country's interior.
Almost all of the models and outfits have a warm feel, and they support a less impactful winter mix. In addition, there is no significant high-pressure system or cold air holding in place to the north.
It is expected that the majority of the wintry precipitation will be sleet, with just isolated regions of light snow being possible.
Snow is not forecast since the snow development layer is highly raised and shallow, and there is a deep huge elevated warm layer underneath it.
As the warm surface air advances inland, the sleet will mix with the rain and eventually become plain rain. This will take until the mid-to-late afternoon to develop, and modest accumulations of sleet, less than 1/2 inch in depth, are likely in the interior of the United States and Canada. Plain rain is forecast in the interior by late afternoon, as warm air arrives from the south and west.

Mary Katherine Goddard knew exactly what she was doing when she told 56 men she would gladly print their parchment. She wasn't asked to sign. She chose to stamp her name on The Declaration of Independence, anyway. Mary was hands on, America.
This morning, before heading out for a ride around central Ohio, I'm reflecting on our freedom and the price our founders paid. The 56 men and Mary did something so rare in the history of humankind – they risked it all when they had easier options. Think about it. These were mostly rich, powerful, men of means. Mary was a business owner. These were not terrorists or desperate rebels. Far from it – they were farm owners, plantation owners, and lawyers. In other words, these were men with plenty to lose. Rarely do these kinda people lead rebellions. Rarely. And, they didn't just organize the rebellion, they personally led it. The last line in the Declaration of Independence is worth memorizing. Memorizing this will help you take personal responsibility. Our founders understood personal responsibility as demonstrated in Jefferson's last lines.
And so they did. Most of them lost most of their fortunes, some lost their lives, all because they chose liberty over security. Five were captured and tortured before being put to their death. Twelve had their homes sacked and burned. Many loaned their fortune to the government and died bankrupt as a result. Nine died fighting in the war. All understood their pledge. They risked it all. They chose liberty over security.
We have been given a great gift and kinda like the 3rd generation of a family business, we're mostly taking it for granted and slowly letting it slip away. Today, choose to take responsibility instead of residence in victimhood. Our founders fought for liberty and gave up their lives of security, the least we can do is honor this hard earned liberty without expecting handouts as our newfound heritage. Our heritage comes from having our hands on. Hands on instead of hands out. Today be hands on, America. And, while you're at it, help another get their hands on too.
Liberty or security. Responsibility or victimhood. Hands on or hands out. Liberty, responsibility, and hands on, are your American heritage, my friends. Be like Mary. Choose to stand for liberty, personal responsibility, and put your hands on what you stand. Be like Mary. Be hands on, America.
Thanks Chet. A great reminder of the rebels and revolutionaries who meant what they said and who were prepared to meet death rather than submit to tyranny. Today, on this 242nd Independence Day, I will be "hands-on" protesting the cruelty and venality of the current administration by rejecting its superficial and hypocritical "patriotism" of mindless flag worship and nationalistic bombast. Instead, I will spend the day quietly working at our Rotary Club's July 4th Festival on the Harbor here, the proceeds of which will go to providing pre-school educational vouchers for the poor rural kids who live in our county. I'll be thinking of them, and of the growing gap between the ideals our Founders fought and died for and our present predicament. And I'll thank God for the self-correcting systems true American patriots have built for 242 years that give me the one glimmer of hope that these dark days, too, will pass. Perhaps other of your followers will disagree with me, and I'll also thank God for that right we all share.

Северни повратник или Ракова обратница је једна од пет основних паралела које се означавају на мапи Земље. То је најсевернија паралела на којој се Сунце у подне појављује у зениту. Ова појава се дешава на дан летње дугодневице, када је северна хемисфера под највећим углом у односу на Сунце.

Северни повратник се налази на 23° 26′ 22″ северне географске ширине. Северно од њега су подручја суптропске и северне умерене климатске зоне. Њој одговара слична паралела на јужној полулопти под именом јужни повратник или Јарчева обратница. Простор између ове две паралеле познат је под називом тропска зона.

Име Ракова потиче од чињенице да се у прошлости Сунце у време летње дугодневице налазило у сазвежђу Рак (посматрано са Земље). Услед прецесије Земље, по савременим астрономским опажањима, Сунце се у том тренутку налази у сазвежђу Бик. Положај повратника се историјски мењао на сложен начин. Тренутна брзина његовог померања је 1 лучни минут за 128 година.

Када се говори о рекордима у обиласку Земље, у правилу се тражи да дужина пута не буде мања од дужине повратника и да путања од старта до циља пресече све меридијане. Ова дужина је 36787,559 км.

Име

Када је ова линија географске ширине добила име у последњим вековима пре нове ере, Сунце је било у сазвежђу Рака (cancer је латински за рак) у јунском солстицију, у време када сваке године Сунце достиже свој зенит на овој географској ширини. Због прецесије равнодневица, то више није случај; данас је Сунце у Близанцима на јунском солстицију. Сама реч "тропик" потиче од грчког "trope (τροπή)", што значи окрет (промена правца или околности), нагиб, што се односи на чињеницу да изгледа да се Сунце "окреће" у време солстиција.

Скретање

Положај Тропика Рака није фиксан, већ се стално мења због благог колебања у уздужном поравнању Земље у односу на еклиптику, раван у којој Земља кружи око Сунца. Аксијални нагиб Земље варира у периоду од 41.000 година од 22,1 до 24,5 степени, а према подацима из 2000 је око 23,4 степена, што ће и даље важити око једног миленијума. Ово колебање значи да се Тропик Рака тренутно креће ка југу брзином од скоро пола лучне секунде (0,468″) географске ширине, или , годишње. Положај круга био је тачно 23° 27′N 1917. и биће на 23° 26'N 2045. године. Удаљеност између Антарктичког круга и Тропика Рака је у суштини константна док се крећу у тандему. Ово се заснива на претпоставци о константном екватору, али прецизна локација екватора није заиста фиксна. Погледајте: екватор, аксијални нагиб и кругове географске ширине за додатне детаље.

Географија

Северно од тропа су суптропи и северни умерени појас. Еквивалентна линија географске ширине јужно од екватора назива се тропиком Јарца, а регион између њих, са центром на екватору, је тропски појас.

Године 2000, више од половине светске популације живело је северно од Тропика рака.

Током летњег солстиција има око 13 сати и 35 минута дневне светлости. Током зимског солстиција, дневна светлост је 10 сати и 41 минут.

Користећи 23°26'N за Тропик Рака, тропски појас пролази кроз следеће земље и територије почевши од почетног меридијана и идући ка истоку:
Координате Напомене о земљи, територији или мору

Обилажење око света

Према правилима Међународне аеронаутичке федерације, да би лет могао да се такмичи за брзински рекорд око света, мора да пређе раздаљину не мању од дужине Тропика Рака, пређе све меридијане и заврши на истом аеродрому где је и започет.

Дужина Тропика Рака је :

За обичну пловидбу правила су донекле опуштена и удаљеност је постављена на заокружену вредност од најмање .

Italian Mountain Running Champions Named at Trofeo Nasego
Category: Corsa in Montagna, Mountain Running
Story written by Italian running journalist Alberto Stretti and edited by Richard Bolt. Photo credits D. Benedetto and M. Gulberti (for corsainmontagna.it). You can read Corsa in Montagna's Italian language Trofeo Nasego race summary on their website.
Last weekend, the Trofeo Nasego race hosted Italy's mountain running national championship where local hero's went up against the worlds best. Inclement weather in Casto, Italy for the Trofeo Nasego race didn't stop athletes from running fast along the hills and mountains of the Savallese region. The 2019 edition of this classic mountain running event was also an associate race member of the World Mountain Running Association (WMRA) and will be part of their Athlete World Ranking. [Editor's Note: ATRA executive director Nancy Hobbs is the WMRA treasurer and council member]
In Saturday's vertical kilometer Andrea Mayr (Austria) won the women's competition in an impressive course record of 38 minutes 39 seconds, going under the previous record by over 4 minutes. Nobody was able to follow her along the tough uphill course where she ran solo from start to finish. Second place went to Primitive Nyora (Rawanda) who finished in 42 minutes 38 seconds. Third place was taken by veteran mountain runner Valentina Belotti (Italy) in 43 minutes 06 seconds. Valentina was the former course record holder and became the new Italian National Champion of Vertical Kilometer and ran faster than her previous course record time.
There was a duel from the start in the men's race between Davide Magnini (Italy) and El Housine Elazzaoui (Moracco). Running close for most of the race, it was only in second half where course that the terrain became tougher and Davide Magnini took the lead and went on to a new course record of 35 minutes 37 seconds. Elhousine ElAzzaoui (Moracco) held on for second place in 35 minutes 38 seconds. Third placed went to Hannes Perkmann (Italy) who did a massive closing effort to finish in 36 minutes 13 seconds. Davide Magnini became the new Italian National Champion in the Vertical Kilometer.
On Sunday, the longer distance Trofeo Nasego race was an up and down course measuring 21.5 km. Andrew Douglas (Great Britain) surprised everyone with a fast start and took control at 2 km into the race. The Scottish runner increased his lead till 14 km clocking a maximum gap of 1 minute 25 seconds over Julien Rancon (France), Robert Surum (Kenya) and promising young talent Sylvain Cachard (France).
On hardest hill of the course, Douglas' lead went down a little but he never worried about others coming from back. On last downhill Douglas did his best to solidify his leadership taking a massive new new course record in 1 hour 35 minutes 37 seconds. Second place for young gun Sylvain Cachard (France) who reached finish line of Trofeo Nasego in 1 hour 36 minutes 51 seconds. Third place completed a real international podium as Robert Surum (Kenya) finished in 1 hour 37 minutes 06 seconds. Fifth place overall and first Italian was former European Champion Martin DeMatteis who clocked 1 hour 38 minutes 11 seconds becoming the new Italian National Champion in long distance mountain running.
Lucy Murigi (Kenya) came to Casto to confirm her status of queen of mountain running after twice winning the World Mountain Running Championships. 2018 was a tough race for her at Trofeo Nasego due to injury but this year she strongly demonstrated 2018 was only a bad day. Lucy Murigi (Kenya) closed the 2019 race with an impressive kick to fly away from all other contenders as she ran totally alone and relaxed from the start.
By the finish Lucy won the race in new course record of 1 hour 52 minutes 23 seconds, besting second place Sarah McCormack (Ireland) who ran 1 hour 53 minutes 25 seconds. Third place went to Erica Ghelfi (Italy) who claimed the bronze medal in 1 hour 54 minutes 29 seconds and earned the Italian National Championship title.
These four course records are even more impressive due to the inclement weather and tell us how deep and talented the field was this past weekend in Casto, Italy. Proving an important race on the international mountain running scene, Trofeo Nasego now looks forward to seeing its talented finishers take on the rest of the mountain running season.

Beauty and health of our skin are two of the all factors giving us general satisfaction with our life. Indeed, if we are not satisfied with our look we cannot deal with things, we whine about weather, and personal life leaves a lot to be desired. You have noticed that the more you care about skin (various creams, masks, cosmetologist visits) the worse it looks, haven't you? According to scientist-dermatologists, deterioration of skin condition is first of all related to intestine disorder and accumulation in it of natural toxic wastes which form after organism activity, as well as penetrate from the environment.
A scope of negative factors in our life affects our health and beauty. Part of them we bring ourselves (alcohol, nicotine, refined, freeze-dried and artificial products, medicines etc.), and part we get from the environment (ecology, stress etc.). But each of the factors has solely negative effect on digestive tract and consequently promotes extinction of normal intestine micro flora and stimulates growth of conditioned pathogenic flora; these processes affect our skin condition.
What should you do in order to restore normal functioning of the digestive tract and to revive natural healthy radiant-look of skin? Ideally, you would need 2 products: sorbent, adsorbing ballast substances and toxic agents and prebiotic, stimulating growth and evolution of normal micro flora. Yet, there is a product, called Lactofiltrum, on the Russian market which contains both prebiotic and sorbent.
Lactofiltrum is a unique two-component product containing prebiotic (lactulose) and sorbent (lignin). Hydrolyzed lignin is a natural enterosorbent consisting of products of hydrolyzed wood processing which has high sorption force and non-specific detoxicating activity. Lignin ties up in the intestine pathogenic bacteria, toxic agents, medicines, saults of heavy metals, alcohol, allergens and excessive number of metabolism products (bilirubin, cholesterol, urea etc.), responsible for progress of endogenic toxicosis, and withdraws them out of organism.
Lignin has no toxic influence, doesn't absorb, and fully leaves intestine in 24 hours. The second component of Lactofiltrum is lactulose which is a synthetic disaccharide, which molecule consists of galactose and fructose leftovers. Lactulose, like any other prebiotic, doesn't absorb and doesn't hydrolyze in the stomach and upper segments of the intestine. Lactulose, releasing from tablet in the colon in the form of substrate, is fermented by the intestine normal micro flora stimulating growth of bifidusbacteria and lactobacillus.
Besides, as a result of lactulose fermentation, organic acids (lactic, acetic and formic) appear pushing pH balance in the colon to the acid direction. Known that acid environment suppresses growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Besides, lactulose stimulates intestinal motility preventing stasis of ballast and toxic substances in the colon. Both components of Lactofiltrum pass upper segments of digestive tract without losing their unique qualities, without activation in the aggressive environment of the stomach and intestine, and come into full effect at the necessary place – in the colon.
At the faculty of Skin and Venereal Diseases of the department of Dermatovenereology and Dermatooncology of Moscow Regional Research and Clinical Institute after M.F. Vladimirskiy and at the faculty of Immunology of the Department of Postgraduate Professional Education of Moscow Medical Academy after I.M. Sechenov they conducted a unique research (where 30 women of 25-27 years of age (in average 25.6 years old) took part) on influence of Lactofiltrun on skin condition, and compared the obtained results with the skin condition of women in the reference group who hadn't taken the product.
According to the research results it was determined that 9 women (27%) of the main group before Lactofiltrum administration and 8 women (26.6%) of the reference group had disturbed skin automicro flora which reveals dramatic decrease of their natural resistance and compensation abilities of skin. In 30 days of Lactofiltrum administration the experiment was repeated and 77.7% of women of the main group had normal amount of Staphylococcus aureus CFU. The women in the reference group had no changes.
Hence, Lactofiltrum due to its dual effect (on one side acts like effective and smooth sorbent clearing intestine from metabolic products and toxic agents and on the other side acts like prebiotic reviving natural micro flora of the colon) is a very effective product for normalization of both intestine and skin condition. Its effectivity is evident even in case of such a serious skin disease like atopic dermatitis. Thus, according to data provided by L.D. Kalyuzhnaya and co-authors, after administration of Lactofiltrum against atopic dermatitis of medium severity (24-62 particles according SCORAD index), by the second day of treatment, diarrheal evidences had disappeared, and bowel movement had normalized; and by 10-14th day, pathological process had passed into light run of the disease with substantial cutback of internal sensations.
Lactofiltrum is also very easy to take; it is presented in the form of tablets which are easier to measure, and are divested of its specific taste and smell unlike gel or powder; besides it is well tolerated. Lactofiltrum as tablets should be taken orally 3 times a day between meals for children of 7-12 years of age 1-2 tablets; for children over 12 years of age and adults 2-3 tablets with meal. Depending on severity of the disease the dose per day may be increased. Average duration of administration constitutes 14 days.
THERE ARE CONTRAINDICATIONS. NEED TO READ THE INSTRUCTION ON USE AND CONSULT THE DOCTOR.
