12 Calisthenics Benefits That Can Revolutionize Your Workout

For many people, the word calisthenics dredges up not too pleasant memories of jumping jacks and burpees in gym class back at school. As a result, the word has a negative connotation associated with archaic exercises and unsatisfying results.

In recent times, though, Calisthenics has cast off its old-fashioned image and shown the world what it can really do. Thanks to action movie stars such as Gerard Butler with the 300 workout program, the huge worldwide popularity of the CrossFit movement, and the unprecedented growth of Street Workout, calisthenics has become cool.

All of which is great news when you consider the myriad calisthenics benefits that exist. In this article, we’ll reveal the top 12 benefits of training with nothing but the body you were born with.

What is Calisthenics?

The word Calisthenics comes from the Greek kálos and sthénos, which literally translates as beauty and strength. Calisthenics can be defined as the training of the body for physical improvement and strength gain by using the body as the main training tool. Minimal equipment such as a pull-up bar can be used to perform bodyweight exercises.

Whereas many gym-based workout programs are primarily concerned with building larger muscles, a calisthenics workout program focuses on developing all 3 aspects of total fitness:

  • Strength
  • Flexibility
  • Speed

Benefit #1: Time Efficiency

Fitting in time to exercise is one of the biggest barriers to sustaining a regular workout routine. Driving to the gym, finding a park, then spending half your time waiting around for exercise equipment is a luxury that many people just can’t afford.

Contrast that with bodyweight training. You always have your gym with you. You don’t need any extra equipment and you can work out in a minimum of space. Those advantages are huge when it comes to getting your workout done – they add up to ‘no excuses’.

Benefit #2: It’s Easier on the Joints

One of the most common complaints among weight trainers revolves around joint pain. From shoulder pain, to hip ache, to wrist problems, joint troubles seem to come with the resistance training territory. After all, throwing heavy poundages around day after day can take its toll on a person’s body. This negative joint effect is made infinitely worse with the lack of warm up, sloppy form, and chronic overtraining which is commonplace in most gyms.

Want to discover a better way?

Make the switch to calisthenics. Bodyweight exercises do not place your joints under anywhere near the same resistance pressure as do barbells and dumbbells. As a result, they are far more forgiving of incorrect technique.

Because the amount of resistance that you are using is rarely more than your body weight, your joints, especially the wrists and shoulders, will be under way less pressure. That will make you far less prone to injury, allowing you to enjoy your new found strength and muscularity without having to hobble around like a cripple.

Benefit #3: Circuit Training

One unique benefit of no-equipment exercises is that they make it much more convenient to take advantage of a valuable workout technique called circuit training. In circuits, you do one set of each exercise in the routine before doing a second set of any exercise.

Moving quickly from exercise to exercise allows you to get more work done in less time - and this is an even more efficient process when there’s no weight to adjust or station to set up.

Circuit training is also a fantastic way to enhance the fat loss effects of resistance training. It boosts your metabolism to burn calories like crazy - all the while, allowing you to build, shape, and define every muscle group in your body.

Benefit #4: It Removes Barriers

We are very good at finding barriers to exercising: time, cost, intimidation of exercising in front of others... As long as gravity exists, your own body weight can provide a vigorous workout that does all the good things that any weights-based routine does - that is build muscle and promote fat loss.

But calisthenics does it by removing the common barriers.

You don’t have to join a gym.

That means that you don’t have to spend a small fortune to get fit. Travel is never a problem because you are always carrying your workout equipment - your body - with you. A hotel room or a friend’s house is as good a location as your own home.

Benefit #5: It Works the Core More Effectively

When you exercise on gym equipment, your body usually gets locked into a position. One goal of this positioning is to allow you to isolate the working muscle group. For example, when you are doing a standing calf raise, you position yourself on a machine that very effectively isolates the gastrocnemius calf muscle.

But when you a do a calisthenic version of the same movement – in this case a standing one legged calf raise - your body will be having to work to balance itself as you perform the exercise. This brings the muscles of the core into play as they stabilize the lower body. Even exercises like push-ups activate the abdominals, turning every move into a core move.

Benefit #6: There is No Knowledge Barrier

Many exercises that you perform at the gym involve rather technical and precise body movements. For many people, learning the correct technique is extremely challenging. Of course, if you don’t get them right, you’ll not only be wasting your time – you’ll be courting injury.

Contrast this with calisthenics. Many of the moves are second nature to us. There are simple to perform without any specialized knowledge. This removes another barrier for many people.

According to research conducted at the London Newham General Hospital, lack of knowledge and the perception that they are unqualified to use an exercise machine is one of the biggest barriers people face in beginning an exercise program.

Benefit #7: It Burns a Lot of Calories

In contrast with most weight training exercises, many calisthenics movements combine resistance training with cardiovascular training. This allows you to work both your aerobic (with air) system and your anaerobic (without air) systems.

Exercises that combine the two systems allow you to burn fat while you are building muscle. Examples of bodyweight moves that combine resistance with cardio training are bear crawls, burpees, and power jumps.

The fact that you are constantly changing your body position when you do calisthenics training will keep the heart rate high while strengthening your muscles. One study showed that as little as 10 sets of 10 squat jumps improved muscle fiber strength in the quadriceps muscles.

Benefit #8: It is Accessible for Any Age and Ability

For people who are elderly, overweight or suffering from illness, using weight resistance training equipment just seems too daunting. Yet, doing some gentle bodyweight exercises is often seen as more ‘doable’.

Research conducted by Rebecca Seguin, CSCS and Miriam Nelson, Ph.D., and published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, showed that calisthenics exercises "have the ability to combat weakness and frailty and their debilitating consequences. Done regularly, these exercises build muscle strength and muscle mass and preserve bone density, independence, and vitality with age".

This makes calisthenics an ideal exercise selection for aged and infirm people.

Benefit #9: It Help You Improve Your Sports Performance.

Plyometrics is a type of calisthenics training that involves jumping vertically and horizontally. As well as providing you with a great fat burning workout, plyometrics will also simulate the actions required to perform many sports.

The quick lateral sprint changes required for basketball, football, and hockey can be trained for using plyometrics. In fact, any sport that requires explosive moves, where you utilize the body’s stretch shortening cycle to increase resistance and build muscle power, are ideal for this type of calisthenics training.

Benefit #10: They Are Shorter than Gym Workouts

When you exercise in the gym there is quite a lot of downtime, even if you don’t have to wait for equipment. Changing weight plates, walking from one side of the gym to the other to use the next piece of gear, and adjusting handles all eat into your time between exercises. This can quickly blow out your rest between sets. In turn, you’ll see a lessening of intensity as your muscles get more time to return to normal. Training like this is far from ideal when you are trying to maximally work your muscles.

When you train with calisthenics, however, there is no adjustment of weight or equipment between sets or having to walk to get to the next piece of training equipment. Because your body is your gym, you can go straight into your next set without any delays. This allows you to maintain – even increase – the intensity of your working sets.

Because there is far less downtime you will find that the overall length of your workout will be shorter than if you were exercising with weights. In fact, most people will find that their workouts will be cut in half when they make the transition from conventional weight training to calisthenics workouts.

Benefit #11: Improved Coordination and Functionality

Exercising using our body is the way we were designed to exercise. It is the most functional, practical of exercise formats that exist.

The human body was not made for body parts to work in isolation. Yet, this is precisely what most of the equipment down at your local gym is designed to achieve. The result is often people who have large muscles but who are stiff, lack flexibility, and have no coordination between their muscles.

Calisthenics training works the muscles together, as a functional unit. When you do a push-up, for example, you are involving your deltoids, triceps, pectorals, abdominals, lower back, thighs, hamstrings, glutes, and calf muscles. Not only are all these muscle groups being worked but they are being worked together. This improves coordination and flexibility.

Benefit #12: Exercises are Customizable

When you work out with conventional weight training machines, you are limited by the settings of the machine. Often people of non average height and weight struggle to use the machines. And, even when they do manage to squeeze into the device, they find that its movement track is limited to a very defined plane of movement.

However, when you train with calisthenics exercises, you are not bound by the limitations of a machine. The fact that your body is your exercise machine provides you with the ultimate in freedom of movement.

Bodyweight exercises also allow for much greater adaptation of an exercise than a machine ever can. Take the push-up, for example. There are over 70 different versions of this exercise that cater to all ability levels. For the beginner, the push up on the knees allows them an entry-level move. Yet, for the advanced trainer, there are such moves as one-arm push-ups and clap behind the back push-ups.

Calisthenics will allow you to transcend the exercise rut that many gym goers find themselves stuck in. That’s because you will have learned to maximize the potential of the gym that you were born with. No more having to trek to the gym, hand over your hard earned cash, and compete with a room full of sweaty, stinky strangers for you. Rather you’ll have the freedom to train naturally anytime and anyplace you choose.

Have you ditched the gym in favor of the many calisthenics benefits? We’d love to know what your main motivation to make the switch was – and how it’s been working out for you. Share your story in the comments section below!

How Exactly Does CBD Work in the Brain and Body?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant components of the Hemp plant and has been growing in popularity in recent years, as research and legislation have started to focus on the potential therapeutic benefits of the substance.

Though talks about cannabis often relate to the intoxicating effects of its most abundant element – tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC – CBD does not cause intoxication. The substance does, however, impact the central nervous system and the body more broadly, and we’re beginning to understand how CBD affects the brain and body.

Scientists are scratching the surface of potential ways that CBD may be used for health and wellness purposes, and so cannot yet fully explain how the substance may confer the benefits that have been widely reported anecdotally.

However, as more and more evidence for the advantages of using CBD accumulates, the U.S. government has become more open to CBD use, and more committed to understanding how CBD may improve health or quality of life.

CBD is now at the center of hundreds of clinical trials that span a wide variety of disease areas, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has even approved the oral CBD drug, Epidiolex, for use in the treatment of certain types of epilepsy. The company that makes this drug also has a CBD drug to treat multiple sclerosis, which has been approved in the United Kingdom.

How CBD Works In the Body

Like other substances, full-spectrum CBD impacts our bodies largely by binding to proteins, or receptors, that are located on the surface of our cells, thereby initiating certain physiological responses. The nervous system contains cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2.

However, unlike THC, which interacts more extensively with cannabinoid receptors, CBD does not appear to bind strongly to these receptors. Instead, it seems to achieve its effects by binding to other types of receptors, such as serotonin receptors, known to influence things like pain, mood, and sleep.

When it comes to the specifics of how CBD achieves its effects, the research surrounding epilepsy probably provides the most information, given that it has been investigated to the point where the FDA agreed to approve a CBD drug for its treatment.

A key finding in the case of epilepsy is the impact of CBD on nerve cells’ sodium channels. The movement of sodium in and out of cells is often abnormal in epilepsy, which can cause the brain cells to fire inappropriately and lead to seizures. Scientists at Indiana University have shown that CBD can inhibit this problematic flow of sodium, reducing and minimizing seizures.

How CBD May Combat Inflammation

In addition to this mechanism that may help CBD improve epilepsy symptoms, CBD has been shown to have numerous other effects that could help with other diseases and disorders, as well as improve overall health. Its effects on inflammation, for instance, have been widely studied.

The body’s immune system is responsible for inflammation. In certain contexts, such as when a harmful foreign substance enters the body, inflammation is beneficial because it effectively suffocates the dangerous entity and eliminates it from our bodies. The immune system therefore initiates inflammatory responses as a way to prevent sickness or injury. However, the immune system is not particularly good at distinguishing harmful stimuli from innocuous ones and often initiates inflammatory responses when there is no benefit to doing so.

Just as inflammation is destructive to foreign substances, it is also destructive to our vital tissues. Our health often depends on fighting our immune system’s tendency toward inflammation, which makes anti-inflammatory agents beneficial to us. Accordingly, experts regularly provide advice on consume to combat our body’s inclination toward inflammation.

CBD appears to be capable of migration of immune cells, which is required for inflammation. When an immune response is initiated, immune cells cluster at a given site, where they cause inflammation. Through its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD has been shown to be helpful in a variety of conditions. For instance, research has shown that CBD can protect against inflammation-induced vascular damage, which may protect the heart. Scientists have also noted that its anti-inflammatory properties may make CBD an effective treatment for skin conditions like acne.

CBD has also been studied for its potential effects on brain diseases. The substance appears capable of inhibiting the production of amyloid-b and tau production, which are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, and this capability may be linked to its anti-inflammatory features. Additionally, much of the damage that occurs from a stroke is the result of the inflammatory response to the initial event. CBD may help combat some of that inflammation and lead to better outcomes for stroke victims.

How CBD’s Antioxidant Properties May Protect the Brain

Antioxidants are compounds that fight the damaging oxidative stress that our cells often undergo as a result of a variety of factors including environmental free radicals. Research on CBD has shown that it acts as an antioxidant and that its antioxidant properties seem to provide protection for the brain. Additionally,  scientists have observed that CBD’s antioxidant neuroprotective effects are more powerful than other substances with well-known neuroprotective benefits, such as ascorbate, alpha-tocopherol, vitamin C, and vitamin E.

Key Learnings About CBD in the Brain and Body

Our understanding of if and how CBD can best be used to address a variety of health and wellness issues is in its nascent stages, but research is expanding, and our knowledge is growing. Because CBD lacks intoxication capabilities and because tolerance for it develops at a low rate, CBD is increasingly being viewed as an advantageous substance to use therapeutically.

As more research efforts are focused on how exactly CBD affects our brains and bodies, it will become clearer why people report experiencing positive effects when taking CBD. It should also become easier to determine the best ways to use the substance to achieve desired outcomes and address specific ailments.

Romanian meat firms eye €25m to expand output capacity

Companies in Romania are investing in pig farms and breeding facilities to boost pork production
Companies in Romania are investing in pig farms and breeding facilities to boost pork production

Romania-based companies Agricover and Degaro have unveiled investments totalling €25m with the aim of acquiring new facilities and expanding their existing capacities.

Agricover, one of Romania’s leading food producers, expanded into the country’s meat industry through the acquisition of a slaughterhouse in Niculesti, in southern Romania. The investment, under which Agricover modernised the facility’s capacity, upgraded its production lines with new technology and overhauled the facility’s logistics capability, is worth €5m.

Meanwhile, senior company representatives said the company was mulling further projects in the Romanian meat industry.

“We are not excluding the possibility of additional investments if this brings added value to our company’s partners,” Ştefan Bucătaru, a senior manager at Agricover, told local business daily Ziarul Financiar.

Agricover said the group was operated by more than 650 employees, and was active in the production and distribution of cereals, seeds and crop protection products, among other sectors.

Pig farm

The second investor, Degaro, aims to allocate €20m to expanding its two locations, a sow breeding farm and a finisher pig farm, and constructing a new feed mill in Romania’s Constanta county. The project is enabled by a loan obtained from UniCredit Bank and UniCredit Tiriac Bank.

The two Romanian facilities are located in Fantanele and Sibioara, both in the Constanta county.

Degaro is part of Premium Porc, a group of companies established in 2006 and specialised in pig breeding and pork meat production. With a capacity of 245,000 pigs per year, Premium Porc claimed it was one of the largest swine breeders in the Romanian market. The group also grows crops, processes grains at its own feed mills, and produces feed which is used by its pig farms, according to data released by Premium Porc. The group is owned by Denmark’s DCH International A/S.

Expansion project

The current expansion project aims to achieve three goals, according to DCH. In its first phase, the Fantanele farm saw its capacity increased from 3,000 to some 6,200 sows. The second part of the project is to increase the capacity of the Sibioara farm from 64,000 to 102,000 finishers per year. In addition, the construction of the new feed mill and silos will provide the farm in Sibioara with a storage capacity of 30,900 tonnes, Premium Porc said.

Degaro is one of the group’s six companies, and its pig farms are located about 210 km east of the country’s capital city Bucharest.

So...how am I suppose to eat this?? Maybe the manager should spend less time bitching at the cook about quality and more time training properly.
Hope you learn how to make biscuits soon.
AS much as i like Hardees i have to say, this particular hardees in N Manchester really let me down. I ate thier twice and every time the food came out old cold and poorly prepared, as if they were handing out screw ups out of the garbage. The third time i came threw N Manchester, i notice right across the street Mcdonalds had cars pouring out the parking lot i mean so much traffic people had to park behind the carwash. I look over at Hardees, thiers 2 car in the drive thru and the 3 cars in the lot were employees cars. Bottom line is someone really need to talk to the management over thier, about the way thier food is coming out because that mcdonalds across the street owns that corner

Owner gunned down while closing up store in Lithonia

Community members say they are in disbelief after a store owner was shot and killed as he was closing up his shop.

The shooting happened Wednesday night at the Tic Toc convenience store on Evans Mill Road. According to DeKalb County police, 57-year-old Tesfaye Birru was shot in the head.

All-day on Thursday, customers walked up to the entrance seeing the victim's car still parked outside.

"He was just a good guy," said Markese Humphrey. "My phone has been ringing off the hook. We cannot believe it."

Birru came to the United States from Ethiopia. He attended an agricultural college there earning a master's. But when he left his home country and arrived in America, he started over opening businesses.

Authorities have released scant information so far about the circumstances.

No arrests have been made.

You will definitely want to layer up as you head out the door Friday morning! FOX 5’s Sue Palka says overnight temperatures dropped between 19-25 degrees under clearing skies -- and there's just enough of a breeze to bring widespread wind chills in the low to mid-teens this morning.

Even with plenty of sunshine through the day it will be a struggle to climb to the mid and upper-30s with wind chills in the 20s. Friday will likely be the second coldest day this February which has otherwise been remarkably mild.

We head back into the 20s overnight -- but this cold shot is brief. We take the chill out of the forecast as early as Saturday afternoon!

5 Reasons Celgene Will Be a Top Biotech Stock for the Next Decade

What happens to Celgene (NASDAQ: CELG) after Revlimid runs its course?

Continue Reading Below

The big biotech projects strong growth through 2020, but much of its revenue will still come from its wildly successful blood cancer drug. However, the first generic competition for Revlimid will enter the U.S. market in 2022.

Don't think for a second that Celgene's growth will stop after Revlimid loses steam. Here are five reasons why Celgene will remain a top biotech stock for the next decade -- and probably beyond.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Celgene will remain strong in the blood cancer market

Just because Revlimid will lose patent exclusivity down the road doesn't mean that Celgene will walk away from the blood cancer market. For one thing, Revlimid doesn't fully lose patent protection until 2026. Celgene negotiated a deal with Natco Pharma to allow it to market a generic version of Revlimid in the U.S. beginning in 2022 -- but only at limited volumes.

More important, Celgene has several new pipeline candidates that could be significant winners. The biotech thinks thatluspatercept could generate annual sales topping $2 billion if approved for treating myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and beta-thalassemia. Celgene anticipates regulatory approval could come as soon as 2019.Three other candidates shouldn't be far behind in revenue potential.

PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab is being evaluated in phase 2 studies for MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The drug is also in early-stage testing for treating multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

CC-486 is in two late-stage studies, one targeting MDS and the other targeting AML. CC-220 is also in a phase 2 study targeting systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and an early-stage study for treating multiple myeloma.

2. Celgene's oncology program is bigger than just blood cancer

It's easy to think about Celgene primarily in terms of blood cancer because of the success achieved by Revlimid and Pomalyst. However, the biotech's oncology program extends beyond blood cancer. Celgene has good prospects in the solid tumor area also.

Those prospects aren't limited to Abraxane. Although Abraxane has generated significant revenue for Celgene, its growth rate has fizzled. More late-stage clinical studies for the drug are in progress that hold the potential for that growth to resume.

Another significant solid tumor opportunity for Celgene is with marizomib. The candidate is being evaluated in a late-stage study for treatment of glioblastoma. Celgene thinks marizomib could potentially win approval in 2021.

3. Inflammation and immunology will be huge for the biotech

Otezla has proved that Celgene can profitably branch out into new therapeutic categories. The autoimmune disease drug racked up sales topping $1 billion last year as a treatment for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. More indications could be on the way: Otezla is in two late-stage studies and two phase 2 studies targeting additional autoimmune diseases.

Celgene's pipeline could be stronger in inflammation and immunology than any other area. Ozanimod stands a good chance of winning regulatory approval next year in treating multiple sclerosis (MS). Other approvals could follow in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Celgene thinks the drug could generate peak annual sales of $4 billion to $6 billion for all three indications.

What about competition from the other S1P receptor agonist already on the market for treating MS -- Novartis' (NYSE: NVS) Gilenya? Celgene believes that ozanimod has a superior safety profile than Gilenya. Novartis' drug can cause bradycardia (slowing heartbeat) and atrioventricular (AV) block. Ozanimod doesn't have these drawbacks.

In addition to ozanimod, Celgene also has two other potential blockbuster autoimmune disease drugs in its pipeline. GED-0301 and CC-220 both could reach peak annual sales of more than $2 billion. Celgene hopes to win approval for GED-0301 in treating Crohn's disease in 2019 with potential approval for CC-220 in treating lupus in 2022.

4. Cash, cash, and more cash

Celgene expects to generate over $100 billion in cash between now and 2025. One of the Celgene executives speaking recently at the Cowen healthcare conference said that the company "doesn't believe in having a lazy balance sheet."

That comment implies that Celgene won't just sit on its enormous cash stockpile that will be created in the coming years. Look for strategic acquisitions and partnerships that boost growth prospects even more than what can be seen currently.

5. Celgene can rinse and repeat

Perhaps the most impressive thing about Celgene is that it has demonstrated the ability to replicate its success. The company didn't rest on its laurels with Revlimid, but instead developed a strong pipeline. Celgene also made some really smart acquisitions, especially the Receptos deal that landed ozanimod.

With four current blockbuster drugs plus 19 late-stage study data readouts over the next two years, Celgene is in great position right now. Even better, the company seems ready to "rinse and repeat" down the road with new drugs and more acquisitions.

I have said before that Celgene is the best biotech stock on the planet right now. My hunch is that it will continue to be one of the best for a long time to come.

Dow Falls as JPMorgan Weighs

FOX Business: The Power to Prosper

The Dow shed its mid-day gains, pulled down by tumbling shares of banking behemoth JPMorgan Chase.

Continue Reading Below

Today's Markets

As of 2:40 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 14.1 points, or 0.11%, to 12842, the S&P 500 slipped 0.7 point, or 0.05%, to 1357 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 11.1 points, or 0.38%, to 2945.

JPMorgan revealed after the close of trading that the $2 billion loss taken by its unit tasked with hedging the bank's risks may cost the firm some $800 million in the second quarter -- four times higher than the original estimate. The unexpected loss tarnishes the reputation of the biggest U.S. bank, and its chief executive, Jamie Dimon, who frequently touts the company's powerful balance sheet.

"We think the overall financial impact ... is not the main issue," analysts at Nomura wrote in a note to clients. "What really hurts is the negative impact on [JPMorgan's] reputational premium that is likely to hit the stock."

Shares of the Dow component were off some 7%, costing the blue-chip average 27 points on its own. Other big banks, including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C), saw their stock prices suffer as a result as well.

Consumer sentiment unexpectedly climbed in early May from April, according to a survey by Reuters and the University of Michigan. The gauge checked in at 77.8, higher than a final reading of 76.4 in April and topping estimates of a reading of 76.2. The current conditions sub-index jumped, however, the futures expectations portion fell slightly.

Separately, the Labor Department said prices at the wholesale level dipped 0.2%  in April from March, compared to expectations for no change. Excluding the more volatile food and energy components, prices were up 0.2%, which was in line with expectations. The headline reading is now up 1.9% from last year, while the core number is up 2.7%.

Industrial output in China slowed down to the lowest level since March 2009 last month. The data added fuel to a growing concern that the world's second-biggest economy may be in for a so-called hard landing, which would entail a dramatic slowdown in the pace of expansion there.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Greek political parties worked to make an agreement to forge a coalition government. The talks are now in the fifth day after elections on Sunday fragmented the parliament, requiring at least three parties to sign off on a new government. Analysts say if an agreement can't be made, the country may be in for another set of elections next month.

Commodities were broadly lower. Crude oil traded in New York dipped 98 cents, or 0.98%, to $96.13 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline fell 0.31% to $3.00 a gallon.

In metals, gold dropped $11.50, or 0.72%, to $1,584 a troy ounce.

Foreign Markets

Eurozone blue chips rose 0.32%, the English FTSE 100 climbed 0.57% to 5576 and the German DAX gained 0.95% to 6580.

In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 slumped 0.63% to 8953 and the Chinese Hang Seng sold off by 1.3% to 19965.

NYC lawmaker proposes city drug strategy office that blends public health with public safety

A New York City lawmaker wants to create a drug policy agency that would focus as much on health as on policing.

City Council Health Committee Chairman Corey Johnson plans to formally introduce the proposal Thursday.

Continue Reading Below

The drug strategy office would advise city leaders on lowering drug-related deaths and disease along with crime.

It also would suggest coordinated solutions to a problem that can span government agencies with different objectives.

Advocates say it would be one of a few local agencies of its kind nationwide. They say New York's size would make it a showcase for less punitive, more public-health-minded drug policies.

Mayor Bill de Blasio's office had no immediate comment.

The city has special drug courts and a taskforce addressing how the criminal justice system addresses addiction.

Default Intro: New Owner of Fun Finder X 160

Got a 2008 FFX 160.

So far very happy (way too early - only done 20 km from dealer to home).

Tow Vehicle: 2006 Sienna. Got a REESE 550 HD hitch with weight distribution. Just like previous 'new owner' from Calgary - boy thing weighs!
To make things worse, the Sienna is very low (apparently one of the lowest). Getting the trailer on and off is a challenge (my drive way has a sharp incline).

Not sure whether I need sway control. The Hitch folks says - watch and and see.

The Trailer itself - no issues. Still playing with it. Last we owned a pop-up from Jayco (92 model).

I find the Owener's Manual from Cruiser RV rather useless. It only gives very high level information. Example: Does not say how to set up the water system (in details) - how to load the 25 Gal water tank etc?

Anyway, I need to fill all the warranty cards. Kids and wife are excited. Hopefully no more cold and wet camp trips!

Want to keep learning?

This content is taken from the University of Groningen's online course, Decision Making in a Complex and Uncertain World. Join the course to learn more.

Skip to 0 minutes and 7 seconds Uncertainty is inescapable. I agree, uncertainty is really a fact of life. Many of our decisions, certainly long term decisions, like buying a house, or taking under real uncertainty in other risks. That’s true. But it’s unbelievable that this is not taken into account in many models of the economy, and many models of society, because this fact really needs another approach. Another approach to economics. There, I unfortunately disagree with you, because I think it’s completely understandable why, even though while we acknowledge that uncertainty is important, that in scientific analysis we have difficulty with dealing with uncertainty.

Skip to 0 minutes and 40 seconds Because if one allows for true uncertainty, one often hears rightly, I think, that anything might go and there’s no need for models anymore or predictions become impossible. So it seems at odds with scientific analysis. That I find really unbelievable and illogical, to be honest. You agree that uncertainty is a fact of life. So that means that people in the past had to deal with it, have to deal with it now, and will have to do with it in the future. Yes, religion is also a fact of life, but it’s not scientific maybe. So I think there are many things in life which are not scientific necessarily.

Skip to 1 minute and 14 seconds So acknowledging that it is important is one thing, dealing with it in an academic way is really a challenge, I think. No, but you make not a distinction out of it. You forget that there’s a difference between a religion, for instance, and uncertainty, and studying how people deal with it to understand how people deal with uncertainty. This can’t be– it’s liable to a scientific analysis. You can apply scientific methods to that. OK, but I think the main obstacle to dealing with it, I think is, that once you say can one still make predictions, and certainly in economics predictions, as you know, are very important, they exist.

Skip to 1 minute and 54 seconds So the fear is that once one allows for fundamental uncertainty, not risk, fundamental uncertainty, that predictions become impossible, Well, that’s true, many predictions will not be possible, and that’s one of the major mistakes I would say in modern social theories, in economics in particular. That we have the pretence to be able to predict in broader, great detail, but economics is not like physics, for instance. You cannot predict in great detail, but that does not mean that you cannot try to understand how people behave under uncertainty. Can you give me an example, how then, you come to understanding without being able to make predictions? Well, there are many, many examples.

Skip to 2 minutes and 35 seconds So let’s take one from economics and one from soccer, for instance. I said, well it’s impossible to make a very precise prediction, but you can understand, you can analyse, you can describe patterns. For instance, in economics we know that we have business cycles. So that we have fluctuations over time, and you can have a theory that generates such fluctuations, but it is impossible to precisely predict the specific course of a cycle. And now my example– -It’s overwhelming, yes? —of soccer. Soccer, or something similar, that’s a game between 11 players on both sides and it’s very difficult to predict what will happen in any second of that game, not difficult, that’s impossible.

Skip to 3 minutes and 23 seconds But you know, you immediately recognise whether this is a game of soccer or whether, let’s say a baseball game, for instance in a soccer game you have one player, the keeper, that’s allowed to take the ball in his hands. You will immediately recognise that. -Yes, I agree that’s a pattern, but still going back to the business cycles, and the first example you gave, everyday predictions. We still use models so some how these models have value and we attach value to them. So we make predictions, even though uncertainty exists, or I would still say that these models somehow have to be useful because we continue to use them.

Skip to 4 minutes and 0 seconds -Well I think that in the past what we have done is to give too much attention to models, as it were, and to pretend that these models really described reality were a kind of an objective truth, but it is true that, as I said, we have to deal with uncertainty since mankind existed. And one of the things that we have developed is indeed using models and making forecasts and using risk management. My problem is that we have given too much attention to that and that we almost need [? length ?] that there are other ways of looking and dealing with uncertainty.

Skip to 4 minutes and 46 seconds -So if I may try to summarise what you said, models are still useful, but we have to understand that in a world of uncertainty the usefulness of some model is different than making or assuming that you can make an accurate prediction of the future. -That’s right, and it’s very important that we look also at other methods that people and other things that people have developed to deal with that uncertainty, like developing conventions, heuristics, trial and error method, evolution, ethics, the moral systems, and all kinds of other things. So you need a multi-disciplinary approach.

Skip to 5 minutes and 22 seconds -There I tend to agree and because I think debate once one allows for uncertainty, as we both agree that is important, even though we differ as to what extent models can be used. I think where we meet is that debate is necessary because one constantly has to convince each other of the arguments how to deal with uncertainty. So in that sense, I think it certainly not only exists, but it requires debate, like we just did.

Academic debate

In this is an academic debate Professor Lex Hoogduin and Professor Harry Garretsen will discuss the implications of uncertainty for science and specifically economics.

They take different positions on the implications of uncertainty for science, the economy, the financial system and society. Does uncertainty exist? Can we make predictions about the future? Can we still use predictive models?

Beware of rebates!

Post by rickf » August 21st, 2019, 1:30 pm

I bought some ammo with a rebate attached a while ago and you cannot do anything until after the ammo gets to you and then you have to jump through all kinds of hoops by taking pictures of the ammo boxes and the UPC codes and filling out several forms and then you wait,..............and wait................and wait.........................and wait some more............................ and then finally you will get a debit card in the mail as your rebate. This is where you have to act quickly because apparently they issue the card on the date of the sale and it is a very short lived card at that. Most gift cards are good for several years, these cards are good for a few months. Several of those months were used up waiting for the process to go through it's route which I am sure is planned for just this reason. I got my rebate card back in April and I just went to use it and I see that it expired July/19!!!! So I lost 60-70 dollars just like that. I remember the store and I will never deal with them again since the only good deals they have is through rebates.
So if you go this route by dang sure to spend those cards FAST!!!!!

And when I called the number on the card to complain I told them I would not be buying anything else from this seller and they told me it has nothing to do with the seller, it is Vista Outdoor cards policy. I said OK, So I will be sure to never buy anything that remotely has anything to do with Vista Outdoor!

Rebates have been a scam since they were started, the rebate companies depend on people not returning them on time and in this case they help it along by not sending them out for months and only giving you a month or two to use it.

Home Home & Kitchen Givenchy Pi Fragrance

Givenchy Pi Fragrance

Super Cool Physics Toys

There is no doubt that Pi is the most important number in the universe. It holds a special place in a geek’s heart. Thanks to the Givenchy Pi Fragrance, you can now show your love for this number. It improves your geek-cred too! Here is how this was described on Sephora:

Pi is a celebration of what makes a man seductive – his intelligence, courage, and contributions. Pi is more than a name, it’s a symbol. The masculine bottle, designed by Serge Manseau, has a hi-tech closure system and plays on the contrast between pure lines and perfect proportion.

This is not cheap by any means. But that wouldn’t stop geeks, now would it?

New York Mobile Betting One Step Ahead

The Senate Racing, Gaming And Wagering Committee unanimously passed bill S17 to further pave the road for the introduction of mobile sports betting in the State of New York.

Better Luck the Second Time Around?

After initially being approved by the state senate in 2019, the bill hit the road block later on with the state assembly, but this development did not hinder the sponsor of the Bill and member of the aforementioned committee St. Sen. Joseph Addabbo to continue with his efforts to legalize mobile betting in the state.

To further support his case that mobile sports betting introduction will help the state budget, Addabbo pointed out the neighboring state New Jersey numbers compared to the NY ones, with a serious pick up in the former and a huge slump in the latter.

What is Actually On Offer Here?

According to Bill S17, holders of licenses for sports betting in New York will be allowed to introduce mobile sports wagering, including stadia betting operations, proposing to solve the constitutional conundrum by placing the mobile betting servers inside the casinos that are already legal for gambling.

For the growing state budget deficit, the sponsors of the bill propose an initial license fee of $12m and 8.5% tax on retail sports betting that could rise to 12% for mobile.

For the gambling operators the bill implies sourcing official league data for in-play wagers and an integrity fee of 0.20% on all wagers for the professional sports leagues, with tribal gaming operators required to partner with their commercial counterparts to get in on the mobile action scene.

State Governor Cuomo Not Sharing the Optimism?

His arguments though, did not find support in the 2020 State of the State Address, where State Governor Cuomo expressed serious reservations about the constitutionality of the bill legalizing mobile betting and the projections for financial gains.

On January 16, Cuomo is expected to propose the state budget, and expectations for it are for a gaping $6bln deficit, and if there is no mention of the proposed introduction of mobile betting, it will be a clear indication that his stance has not changed.

For Addabbo though, there will be plenty of time until April 1, the deadline for 2020 budget conversations, to try and sway the Governor in favor of his agenda.

In addition to mobile betting, the senator is strongly advocating for the three currently unused state casino licenses for facilities in the southern region of the state to be utilized.

The introduction of mobile betting is still uncertain, though the proposed bill passed the committee, as it is now facing the Senate Committee on Finance, with Governor’s right for veto the last of the series of hurdles ahead, but senator Addabbo feels optimistic about it and the future gains it will bring to the state and the people.

As the use of plants in residential and commercial properties has grown increasingly popular, we have noticed a rise in clients requesting artificial trailing plants and garlands. Whether people want to utilise their vertical space or drape plants around structures and furniture, the lush foliage and organic form of trailing plants have far surpassed the lonely house plant on the window sill.

Trailing plants and vines naturally grow as epiphytes, relying on larger plants and structures to compete for sunlight and resources - using the natural environment around them in symbiosis to escape the shadows of the forest floor and reach towards the light above. The structure and character of these plants has been shaped by evolution, giving rise to the many species and their variations that we see in homes and businesses around the world.

Artificial Plant Hanging trailing plant

Understanding the growth habit of this kind of plant allows us to make educated choices when it comes to design and installation - as often is the case, we look to the natural world for solutions to human dilemmas and let the form of these plants guide us in where to use them. In the photo above, a detail from a recent installation, our artificial trailing plants and garlands are being showcased on existing structures. They are at their best when the long tendrils and bushy habit are allowed to hang organically, creating depth in the room and drawing the eye away from the harsh ceiling panels above.

Pairing the form of these plants with industrial and hard-edged building features creates a pleasant contrast, with each element benefiting from the other. The bold shapes of support beams and walls are softened by the vibrant and natural texture of the plants and the bushy appearance of the foliage is refined and given some structure by the more industrial elements of the space.

The use of trailing plants, such as our Syngonium and Garland Mix, have been a popular way to utilize negative space. Areas with high ceilings or industrial and structural elements often ask us to install garlands and hanging foliage to convert an eye sore into an asset. The form of these plants gives depth to a room and functions as an aesthetic way to fill the often overlooked vertical plane of a space.
