One of the most important components of the developmental environment is the emotional atmosphere. Childhood experiences and perceptions of parental roles and behavior result in memory models and images, which may affect the children's relationships in adulthood. In the present study, the cross-sectional associations between childhood parental images and the quality of current intimate adult relationships were studied in a sub-study of a mother–child follow-up in northern Finland. The data were collected with a questionnaire mailed to 28–29-year-old adults, with a total of 337 replies. The present study included those respondents (N = 253) who were married or cohabiting (153 women, 100 men). Since offspring can be affected by gender-specific parenting patterns, the analyses were made separately for both genders. In women, supportiveness in both maternal and paternal images was associated with a balanced intimate relationship, the latter also being associated with a loving relationship and providing protection against quarrelsome and repressive–submissive aspects of the relationship. In men, maternal supportiveness was linked with a balanced and loving intimate relationship and protected against a quarrelsome relationship. Paternal domination was associated with repressive–submissive relationships regardless of gender. In conclusion, the qualities of recalled childhood parenting are important to adult well-being in intimate relationships in a gender-specific manner. The specific importance of the father to the children's later life was also observed. This would indicate that supporting the relationship of the child with both parents is equally important for professionals working with children and families.

Time travel – adjudication under the amended Act
by Shy Jackson
In December last year I was granted the unique opportunity to take part in an adjudication, which took place in 2014, sometime after the amendments to the Construction Act 1996 had come into force.
My expert witness, Gary Peters, relied on the "Fagin formula" for loss and expense, while the two main witnesses, Martin Potter and John Riches, traded equally incredible allegations concerning an alleged verbal agreement reached at the Builder's Cleavage pub after a heavily disputed number of pints of beer. OK, it was only the Adjudication Society's mock adjudication (organised by Hamish Lal and Emily Busby) and there was some exaggeration for dramatic effect.
However, the serious point of the mock adjudication was to demonstrate the practical challenges of having to deal with allegations of verbal agreements, which will be "construction contracts" under the amended Construction Act 1996. This was the subject of the discussion led by John Redmond, who acted as the adjudicator, and Sean Brannigan QC, in which a number of issues were raised.
Do adjudicators, as opposed to judges, have the skill to consider witness evidence and decide which witness is telling the truth?
There was forceful argument to say that deciding on the terms of a verbal agreement is no different from other decisions adjudicators make, on issues such as whose evidence on the causes of delay is to be preferred. It was, however, pointed out that cross examination in court would be more effective because:
Judges do not have the same time pressures as adjudicators.
Disclosure allows a better cross examination, testing oral evidence against the full contemporaneous records.
What is the best way to find out the truth?
Nobody argued against the proposition that evidence of a verbal agreement had to be tested (not simply decided on the papers), and that some form of cross examination should be allowed. It was suggested that such testing of the evidence could be carried out by the adjudicator rather than allowing the parties to cross examine witnesses. However, this may well result in an immediate call of a breach of the rules of natural justice if a party is not allowed to cross examine a witness itself.
Is this going to be a real problem in practice?
The amendment to catch verbal agreements is designed to help smaller operators who currently get caught out without a full written contract, not the larger and sophisticated parties who are good at using the standard (and bespoke) forms. There is, however, another risk area.
Everyone has come across cases where parties give verbal assurances that they will not rely on legal formalities. Contractors get told to proceed without a formal instruction on a promise that "I will sort you out", or parties say they are required to issue formal notices due to internal procedures, but they will not act on them.
At present, there are few such arguments in adjudication since they lead to an immediate challenge to the adjudicator's jurisdiction based on the lack of a written "construction contract". However, once the Construction Act 1996 is amended, parties will feel able to raise all sorts of arguments based on verbal variations evidenced by conduct. Deciding whether such verbal representations were made, and their potential impact, may result in much uncertainty and will not be easy.
What will you be able to do if you think there is no verbal agreement?
It remains unclear what choices a party will have if it disagrees that there is a verbal agreement or that a verbal term was agreed, and wants to avoid the cost of what it considers to be an invalid adjudication.
The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) is unlikely to help, since the CPR Part 8 procedure for declaratory relief is intended for questions of law or interpretation and is not suitable where there are substantial questions of fact and witness evidence to be dealt with. Similarly, CPR Part 7 does not provide an answer, since even a limited claim for a declaration as to whether there was a contract might arguably require compliance with the Pre-Action Protocol for Construction and Engineering Disputes. In any event, Part 7 does not have the speed and flexibility required to decide such an issue within the time-frame of adjudication.
Of course, it remains open to the parties to give the adjudicator jurisdiction to decide on his own jurisdiction, as he will be considering the terms of the verbal agreement in any event. Some parties might feel reluctant to allow an adjudicator to decide on his own jurisdiction. Alternatively, the parties could appoint a third party to adjudicate on the issue of the existence (or otherwise) of a contract. However, that route is also open to delay and challenges.
A brave new world awaits us. It is possible that none of the problems identified above will happen and, as adjudication finds its feet under the new rules, new solutions will be found. Indeed, the TCC may develop a new speedy procedure to deal with the issue of verbal agreements, just as it did for adjudication enforcement. Until such time, however, we can only speculate on what appear to be the new challenges ahead.

State of the Air: Hawaii boasts some of the best air quality in the nation
The American Lung Association's 2019 "State of the Air" report found that Hawaii has some of the cleanest air in the U.S. and Honolulu and Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina are two of the cleanest areas in the country. Honolulu County had a new record low for an annual average of particle pollution, and less than half the highest ever level recorded in 2009-2011.
Each year the "State of the Air" provides a report card on the two most widespread outdoor air pollutants, ozone pollution, also known as smog, and particle pollution, also called soot. The report analyzes particle pollution in two ways: through average annual particle pollution levels and short-term spikes in particle pollution. Both ozone and particle pollution are dangerous to public health and can increase the risk of premature death and other serious health effects such as lung cancer, asthma attacks, cardiovascular damage, and developmental and reproductive harm.
"People in Hawaii are breathing some of the cleanest air in the nation, but increasing climate change is threatening our air quality," said Kahala Howser, Executive Director for the American Lung Association in Hawaii. "While we are very happy with this report, Hawaiians must remain vigilant when we have vog episodes. Additionally, more than four in 10 Americans are living with unhealthy air, and we're heading in the wrong direction when it comes to protecting public health and people's lives."
Honolulu had no unhealthy air days for ozone pollution. Nationally, this year's report showed that ozone levels increased in most cities nationwide, in large part due to the record-breaking global heat experienced in the three years tracked in the report.
While the report examined data from 2015-2017, this 20th annual report online provides information on air pollution trends back to the first report. Learn more about Hawaii's rankings, as well as air quality across and the nation, in the 2019 "State of the Air" report at Lung.org/sota.

eTN becomes a SUNx SDG 17 Partner calling for Climate Sanity in Tourism on Earth Day
In nature, nothing exists alone is the message for Earth Day 2019. Announcing the public launch of its "SDG17 Partners Program" on Earth Day 2019, Professor Geoffrey Lipman co-founder SUNx, calls and president of the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP) asks the Travel & Tourism sector to join its "Plan For Our Kids" and take the "Climate Sanity" Pledge.
Professor Lipman, former Executive Director at IATA, President of WTTC and Assistant Secretary-General UNWTO, said:
"I'm confident that Travel & Tourism will play a leadership role in the global shift to a New Climate Economy: we just need a pathway for change and that lies in our faith in the next generation"
SUNx a legacy for Planetary Champion Maurice Strong has created a "Plan For Our Kids", aiming to recruit 100,000 STRONG Climate Champions to advance its vision of a no Carbon 2050 sector totally compliant with the evolving goals of the Paris Accords.
He added "During the past year we have seen a welcome intensification of the pressures for a new commitment to Climate Sanity, which stops discussing whether climate change is existential and just gets on with solutions. That's the common message from Greta Thunberg's Friday's for Futures and AOC's Green New Deal: it's the message from Earth Scientists and Nobel Economists: it's the plea from Sir David Attenborough.
"Lipman concluded "SDG 17 Partners will share our long-term vision on the fact that Climate Change is eXistential and that we have to act NOW, as if this Earth Day is the first day of the rest of our lives. We all have different starting positions, based on our separate realities: but we have a shared goal of meeting the Paris Agenda and together taking a "No Carbon 2050 moonshot". We can deliver Climate Friendly Travel ~ measured plans: green growth: 2050 no carbon proof "
Juergen Steinmetz president of the eTN Corporation said "We are proud to become a SUNx SDG 17 Partner and provide preferential support for this great cause. As long as I have known Geoffrey Lipman, he has been drumming home the message that Climate Change is eXistential and that if we don't fix it now, it will fix us. We are in, and will use all our links, like ICTP and the African Tourism Board to support Climate Friendly Travel. going forward".

What is Earth Day?
The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Twenty years later, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in more than 190 countries and lifting environmental issues onto the world stage.
On April 22, 1970, millions of people took to the streets to protest the negative impacts of 150 years of industrial development.
In the U.S. and around the world, smog was becoming deadly and evidence was growing that pollution led to developmental delays in children. Biodiversity was in decline as a result of the heavy use of pesticides and other pollutants.
The global ecological awareness was growing, and the US Congress and President Nixon responded quickly. In July of the same year, they created the Environmental Protection Agency, and robust environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, among many.
One billion people
Earth Day is now a global event each year, and more than 1 billion people in 192 countries now take part in what is the largest civic-focused day of action in the world.
It is a day of political action and civic participation. People march, sign petitions, meet with their elected officials, plant trees, clean up their towns and roads. Corporations and governments use it to make pledges and announce sustainability measures. Faith leaders, including Pope Francis, connect Earth Day with protecting God's greatest creations, humans, biodiversity and the planet that we all live on.
Earth Day Network, the organization that leads Earth Day worldwide, has chosen as the theme for 2018 to End Plastic Pollution, including creating support for a global effort to eliminate primarily single-use plastics along with global regulation for the disposal of plastics. EDN is educating millions of people about the health and other risks associated with the use and disposal of plastics, including pollution of our oceans, water, and wildlife, and about the growing body of evidence that plastic waste is creating serious global problems.
From poisoning and injuring marine life to the ubiquitous presence of plastics in our food to disrupting human hormones and causing major life-threatening diseases and early puberty, the exponential growth of plastics is threatening our planet's survival.

San Francisco International Airport purchases six new electric buses
Today Proterra announced that San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has purchased six 40′ Proterra Catalyst E2 electric buses and three 60 kW Proterra plug-in chargers, joining a growing list of airports across North America transitioning to electric buses for airport ground transportation. The new battery-electric bus fleet will reduce Bay Area emissions and support SFO's goal of carbon neutrality by 2021 while cutting its bus operating costs.
As one of the fastest-growing airports in the U.S., SFO has ambitious plans in place to reduce its carbon footprint. SFO's Five-Year Strategic Plan sets goals of carbon neutrality across airport-controlled operations by 2021 and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from a 1990 baseline. Part of that plan includes the creation of a Clean Vehicle Policy to promote the adoption and deployment of low emission vehicles by both airport departments and ground transportation providers. The new battery-electric Proterra Catalyst buses will replace six diesel buses in its current operating fleet and will eliminate more than 23 million pounds of greenhouse gas tailpipe emissions over the 12-year life of the vehicles. SFO expects to purchase additional battery-electric buses to replace its CNG vehicles, for a greener, more modern fleet.
"Earth Day serves as a call to action; an opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment to the environment," said Airport Director Ivar C. Satero. "SFO is an airport industry leader in sustainability, and we have set big goals to achieve zero net energy use, zero waste, and carbon neutrality. By deploying San Francisco's first public battery-electric buses, we're on the path to zero emissions in our ground transportation services, leading the way in our quest to be the world's most sustainable airport."
The new electric buses will integrate batteries that are designed and manufactured down the street from the airport at Proterra's Silicon Valley headquarters in Burlingame, California. With 440 kWh of battery capacity on board, the buses will be part of SFO's fleet that currently provides buses to shuttle passengers between the terminals, long-term parking garages and other airport locations along daily routes.
SFO joins other California airports that are leading the electrification trend across ground transportation fleets, including Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and Silicon Valley's Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC). Beyond California, five additional airports across the country have chosen Proterra electric vehicles for their ground transportation needs, including Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), Honolulu International Airport (HNL), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
"San Francisco International Airport has long been a leader in sustainability and joins other forward-thinking airports around the country in transitioning ground fleets to 100 percent battery-electric buses," said Proterra CEO Ryan Popple. "We are proud to help one of our local airports offer superior service and meet its sustainability goals while also providing reduced vehicle maintenance costs and lower total cost of ownership."

How Emirates is supporting and preserving biodiversity
Taking its environmental responsibilities seriously and championing wildlife conservation across different corners of the planet, the Emirates Group is playing its part to support and preserve biodiversity.
The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley in Australia both illustrate the Group's long-standing focus on protecting fragile ecosystems and support for sustainable tourism in very different parts of the world. Both conservation reserves protect valuable ecosystems and at the same time provide unique and sustainable experiences for visitors from around the world.
The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve
The Emirates Group funds the operations of the 225 square kilometre Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR), an inland desert habitat that has been protected by government mandate since 2003. This is the largest piece of land that Dubai has dedicated to a single project and aims to preserve Dubai's unique desert environment for future generations. The DDCR plays an important role in ecological research, actively collaborating with both local and international universities. The findings and results of the research studies help to enhance knowledge of the desert ecosystem, gather scientific data around rare and endangered desert species, monitor its balance and preserve its natural environment.
The reserve is also a focal point for conservation programmes aimed at restoring populations of some of the UAE's wildlife, such as the Arabian gazelle, sand gazelle and Arabian oryx. Since their reintroduction into the DDCR, the antelope species have thrived, and their populations have significantly increased, triggering the process of looking into relocating some oryx and gazelle species to other protected areas within the region. Over 250 endangered Macqueen's bustard (houbara) were also released this year with 25 of them fitted with tracking devices to monitor their movement and breeding progress.
In 2018, the DDCR was visited by more than 285,000 tourists, through Arabian Adventures, various Emirates partner tour operators, and the Al Maha Desert Resort. The DDCR offers low-impact desert experiences in addition to desert clean-up activities in coordination with Arabian Adventures. During 2018 the DDCR was accepted as a candidate for the IUCN Green List for Protected and Conserved Areas, a global standard for the world's most effectively managed Protected Areas.
Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley
Emirates has been supporting the protection of Australia's extraordinary wildlife and plant life for over 10 years, through the conservation-based Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley in New South Wales. The property was the first luxury resort in the world to receive an internationally-recognised carbon neutral certification from New Zealand based CarboNZero, undergoing a comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions assessment. Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley also conducts regular research to identify opportunities and challenges for endangered species conservation. Efforts have also been underway to help restore vital vegetation and tree planting activities, which have helped to re-establish habitats for vital bird populations, essential for their long term survival.
Emirates and Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley jointly funded the development of the WomSAT app and website in collaboration the University of Western Sydney to help researchers identify opportunities for wombat conservation. Wombats are threatened by sarcoptic mange, an unpleasant and often fatal skin disease that afflicts Australia's largest burrow builder. The tool is used to record wombat sightings and track population health to help treat wombats afflicted by sarcoptic mange. Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley is also spearheading a number of other conservation projects, such as the Wolgan River Restoration Project, an ongoing weed management programme, and supporting research projects with Western Sydney University.
United for Wildlife and The Buenos Aires Declaration
Since 2015, Emirates has continued its strong support for actions to stem the illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products, which is having devastating consequences for endangered animals and the environment in many parts of the world. In 2018, the Emirates Group also signed the Buenos Aires Declaration on Travel and Tourism and Illegal Wildlife Trade, an effort led by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) to reach a billion travellers with messages to fight the illegal wildlife trade and work with communities to develop sustainable tourism that provides livelihoods and protects wildlife. The WTTC and World Wildlife Fund are developing guidelines to eliminate illegal wildlife trafficking from the travel and tourism supply chains.
The Emirates Group has also adopted a zero-tolerance policy to wildlife trafficking and has set up training for its employees to identify and look out for warning signs of smuggled wildlife products during cargo transportation and screening. Emirates will not carry banned species, hunting trophies or any products associated with illegal wildlife activities.
Using its brand power to raise awareness around the illegal trafficking of endangered wildlife, Emirates emblazoned four of its A380s with special wildlife decals. Since then the aircraft have flown millions of kilometres across 48 cities in 29 countries on close to 6,000 flights taking this important message around the world and spurring conversation around wildlife preservation.
dnata Wildlife Conservation and Nature
dnata recently signed an MOU with the University of Pretoria in South Africa to support their research and rehabilitation projects. Under dnata4good, the partnership aims to safeguard wildlife and the environment by strengthening and enhancing research, veterinary training and awareness, increasing involvement through volunteer opportunities and ensuring needed measures are taken to care for injured animals and rehabilitate them to go back into the wild. The initiative will be partially driven by employee participation to protect fragile biodiversity in South Africa and to maintain balanced ecosystems.
Give a Ghaf
Emirates Group employees living in Meydan Heights (UAE) will be taking part in a Ghaf Tree planting event on 27 April in partnership with Goumbook. The event aims to raise awareness about the importance of conserving the living desert, with a specific focus on the Ghaf tree. The Ghaf is a drought tolerant, evergreen tree which can withstand harsh desert environments, and can be used for greening purposes whilst saving water.

THISWORLDEXISTS - Pacific North West: The Worst Place to Visit?
Logging on to my social media pages every day, I guarantee that I will see a negative post towards my home place, the Pacific North West. I have been exposed to many of its negatives.
First things first, besides your small hole in the wall bar, the night life is a bit sad. I'm constantly asking myself "what is there to do tonight?". Maybe I'll sit at home and watch Netflix or go through Instagram and Facebook one too many times. Who would ever want to do a full moon hike to the top of Mount Lassen, or take a really boring drive to the top of Mount Bally to watch the meteor shower?
The next issue is the weather. You could start off in a town like Redding, where temperatures can reach up to a unbearable 115, leaving you with absolutely nothing to do except sit at home to try and think of somewhere nearby that might give you some relief from the blistering hot sun.
You decide to go a little further north to try to escape from the heat. After a short drive you have reached the Oregon border where you will find rain, snow and most likely nothing else very much interesting. Who would ever want to spend a weekend skiing on Mount Bachelor or even white water rafting down the Klamath River?
And how hard is it to just get away from it all? Finding nearby hiking trails or places that you can have all to yourself is almost impossible. Alone time? Not a chance.
Remember to open your eyes to the beauty that lies within arms reach.

Q: How to put value from getLongitude or getLatitude() intto EditText? how to convert value from getLongitude() and getLatitude() to format that can be accepted by the EditText?
it works if i put them into Toast like this
String message = "Current Location \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude()+"\nLatitude: "+location.getLatitude();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

but if i put them into EditText like this, the application will stopped and error
tv_obj_long.setText(location.getLongitude());
tv_obj_lat.setText(location.getLatitude());

i think the format is wrong, i'm trying with Double.toString() but it still error
how to fix this?
thanks
this is my code on the button
btn_obj_useKor.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
      showCurrentLocation();
   }
});

this is the function called by the button
public void showCurrentLocation() {
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        if (location != null) {
                showToastStatus(location);
                tv_obj_long.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLongitude()));
                tv_obj_lat.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLatitude()));
            }else{
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Terjadi Kesalahan dalam pengambilan koordinat", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    };

this is the toast that works
public void showToastStatus(Location location){
        String message = "Current Location \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude()+"\nLatitude: "+location.getLatitude();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

and this is my xml
<TextView
        android:text="Longitude"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
      <EditText

        android:id="@+id/tv_obj_lat"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

help me guys -_-

A: getLongitude and getLatitude return double. So in roder to format the doubles into string you could use something like this.
String message = String.format("latitude = %f longitude = %f",location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());

A: That is because the parameter that the setText method expects is a string but what you are passing is a double. Double.toString() should work. Can you post the code snippet so that other developers here can see what might be wrong.
Or you may also do this.
tv_obj_long.setText("" + location.getLongitude());

That will convert it to string.

A: try this..
int lat = (int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6);
int lng = (int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6);

GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat, lng);

tv_obj_long.setText("Latitude:  "+ String.valueOf(point.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6));
tv_obj_lat.setText("Longitude:  "+ String.valueOf(point.getLongitudeE6() / 1E6));

A: tv_obj_long.setText("" + location.getLongitude());
tv_obj_lat.setText("" + location.getLatitude());
The easiest way.
Another approach:
tv_obj_long.setText(String.ValueOf(location.getLongitude()));
tv_obj_lat.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLatitude()));
The textView expects String as parameter in setText() method, you put INTEGER..it is normal to crash.

A: tv_obj_long.setText(""+location.getLongitude());
tv_obj_lat.setText(""+location.getLatitude());

          Or

 String s = new String();
 s = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());

replace your code with then given above code then you got your answer.

A: Try to convert the value into string
Try with the following code
tv_obj_long.setText(""+location.getLongitude());
tv_obj_lat.setText(""+location.getLatitude());

A: I know the problem now,
I placed the declaration in wrong place
Look at this
public void showCurrentLocation() {
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        if (location != null) {
                showToastStatus(location);
                tv_obj_long.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLongitude()));
                tv_obj_lat.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLatitude()));
            }else{
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Terjadi Kesalahan dalam pengambilan koordinat", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    };

i added this code on second line
final TextView error_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.error_text);

and it works!!
i placed that code in onCreate before
T___T

Working out at home can be convenient but what do you do with all the equipment after? In order to have a home gym you need space, and with space you need equipment such as a treadmill, stationary bike, etc. But let's say you don't have that much space. Either you're home will be overcrowded with equipment that gets used once a day (at the most) or a yoga mat and some light weights will suffice. And though working out a home saves time, we all know how a proper gym workout feels, especially if you're using a trainer. More times than not, live-streaming classes just won't feel the same.
Meet Mirror, the piece of equipment that's trying to change that. Mirror is designed to make streaming fitness classes more hands on and more personal. And the best part, there's no bulky equipment. It just looks like a regular mirror when you're not using it. So it can be placed in your bedroom or living room without ruining the aesthetic of your home.
Mirror can tailor your workout to you personally and provide feedback based on your stats. How does it work? You simply set the mirror against your wall or mount it. From there, you enter your goals, preferences, biometrics, and any ailments/injuries you might have and it adjusts your workouts automatically. Pretty cool huh? Mirror let's you choose from over 50 new classes per week that are live-streamed from a studio in New York City. You also have the option to play previously recorded classes on demand as well. The instructor demonstrates the moves right on the mirror, and their vocal instructions come through the device's stereo speakers. But that's not all, when you purchase Mirror it'll come with a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor that will help motivate you to work harder if you fall below your target heart rate zone. Your instructor will also provide real time instruction and personal shout-outs to keep you going. That's pretty hands on if you ask me. This product just launched in September 2018 and it's been the talk of the town.

Is your Daily Action Planner overflowing? Sometimes even the most well-planned day can get clogged with to-dos, and we need a quick fix to get back on track… fast!
Enter meditation. No longer is it only for the new wave crowd: meditation has been scientifically proven time and time again to reduce stress, clear the mind, encourage better sleep, and so much more. And it doesn't take hours to learn or even practice.
Here's a quick, version of meditating you can do in 10 minutes or less.
Find a quiet space, either in your office chair or on a mat at home. Set a gentle timer for five to ten minutes. For a beginner, ten minutes is long enough to experience the process without feeling overwhelmed. As your practice continues, you can increase your time.
Breathe in while silently counting to five. Hold the breath while counting to five.
Exhale slowing while counting to ten. Repeat.
Release your expectations of anything you think should happen.
Your mind may wander. When it wanders, simply bring your focus back to your breath and the counting mantra.

An original "Black Power" OSPAAAL (Organization in Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America" poster. Many OSPAAAL posters, this example included, routinely printed their message in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. Founded in 1966, it is likely this poster was printed during the early years of the organization's existence, since use of the term "black power" first became widely popularized during the late 1960's. Though the wildcat or panther figures prominently in the poster art, it is most likely not a reference to the American Black Panther Party. Measures 13 x 22, several horizontal folds, moderate wrinkling with some staining.
