2025 Toyota 4Runner Will Have Hybrid Powertrain
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is set to be a game-changer in the SUV market with its hybrid powertrain. As Toyota continues to revamp its off-road truck and SUV lineup, the next-generation 4Runner will be a significant improvement over the current model, which has been lagging behind competitors in terms of fuel economy, ride and handling, technology, and powertrains.
Built on Toyota’s global TNGA-F architecture, the new modular body-on-frame platform, the 2025 4Runner is expected to be powered by a 2.4-liter turbo-four engine currently found in the Lexus NX 350, producing 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. Another possibility is a detuned version of the i-Force Max Twin Turbo V-6 Hybrid engine from the Tundra and Sequoia, or the Hybrid Max powertrain, a 340-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder that powers the Toyota Crown.
Toyota has been pushing the boundaries with its hybrid technology, making vehicles like the Sequoia and Sienna hybrid-only. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the 4Runner will also offer some form of electrification. In addition to better fuel efficiency, the new 4Runner is expected to have an improved suspension setup for a more settled ride, a new transmission to replace the aging five-speed automatic, and enhanced off-road performance.
An all-electric 4Runner may also be introduced a few years after the next-generation model debuts. With Toyota’s new CEO, Koji Sato, hinting at revamping EV production, it’s possible that we could see an all-electric 4Runner in the future. Although there are no concrete plans for a 4Runner EV yet, it would make sense given the shared components with other Toyota vehicles.
2025 Toyota 4Runner Exterior and Interior Design
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner will not only feature a new powertrain but also a completely new interior and exterior design. The new model is crucial for Toyota as the iconic off-roader enters a new era with electrified options. With over 120,000 units sold last year, the 4Runner remains a popular vehicle for Toyota, and the introduction of the hybrid powertrain will undoubtedly attract even more buyers looking for a capable, reliable, and eco-friendly SUV.


"Intermodality is an organised connection between various modes of transport, during a single journey, which aims at offering travellers an unbroken journey.
Intermodality introduces fluidity into travel, and everything involved with it: interoperability, signage, electronic ticketing, accessibility, real-time information, safety, comfort."

The German Bundesliga is by far one of the most intriguing and strong judo leagues in the world.
Top international judokas are being invited to participate for the German clubs and therefore the level is probably second to none.
Fortunately, the 2020 event will still be held, but it will take place in the form of the tournament instead of a league. The German Judo Association (DJB) is currently developing an alternative concept with the Bundesliga officials and clubs. It is planned to hold the first Bundesliga tournament from October 10th (men) to 11th (women), 2020.
The potential venue for the opening round is Brandenburg’s Senftenberg. Ten teams from the men’s Bundesliga and six teams from the women’s Bundesliga have currently signaled their interest in participating.

My Due Date
Today is my due date and I can't even imagine being pregnant still. I would be so huge and uncomfortable. Although I sometimes miss being pregnant I am so happy my little boy is here. I know you probably think I am crazy for missing pregnancy, especially mine being so complicated but I actually loved being pregnant minus the complications. I loved feeling him move inside me and miss that feeling. What I don't miss is my diet and checking my blood sugar all the time. Now that I have had Riley my diabetes is gone and I can eat what ever I want. =))))) I still need to be cautious because I have an increased risk of getting diabetes. I can't believe Riley is 2 and a half weeks old already. He is growing so fast and I am having so much fun. I absolutely love being a mom and Dan and I are so in love and happy with our new family. Dan is very happy my pregnancy is over, I don't think he loved it as much as I did. Thank you honey for putting up with me, taking care of me and supporting me , I love you and could not have done it without you by my side.

Lionel Messi scored twice to put Barcelona in control of their Champions League semi-final against Liverpool, winning 3-0 in the first leg at the Nou Camp.
It was former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez who put the hosts ahead in the 26th minute, flicking a lovely Jordi Alba cross home home over Alisson and the 32-year-old did not hide his celebrations.
Barcelona rode the wave of Liverpool pressure at the start of the second half and Messi (75) was in the right place at the right time as he slotted home after Suarez had hit the bar.
But his real moment of magic came seven minutes later as he swept a sensational free-kick around the Liverpool wall and into the top corner, scoring his 600th goal for the club and putting Barcelona in pole position to reach their first Champions League final since 2015.
It was an entertaining first half, with Philippe Coutinho attempting to strike an early blow to his former side, but his 16th minute strike – which was offside – went whistling past Alisson’s far post.
For all the pre-match questions on Liverpool’s formation, it was thrown slightly into disarray as Keita picked up a groin issue following a clash with Ivan Rakitic. He was replaced after 24 minutes by Jordan Henderson, and two minutes later, a familiar face came back to haunt Liverpool.
A sensational cross from Jordi Alba on the left picked out the run of Suarez through the middle of the two centre-backs. He then flicked the ball over the top of Alisson with a delightful finish before celebrating his first Champions League goal of the season with a knee slide in front of the Nou Camp crowd.
Barcelona made three changes with Sergi Roberto, Sergio Buquets and Lionel Messi coming in for Nelson Semedo, Arthur Melo and Osumane Dembele. In terms of Liverpool team changes , Jurgen Klopp made four from the weekend’s win against Huddersfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge being replaced by Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Fabinho and James Milner.
Liverpool should have equalised in the 35th minute when Henderson slotted a ball in behind Pique, picking out the advancing Mane. He only had the goalkeeper to beat from 15 yards, but could only send his effort flying over the crossbar.
Liverpool started the second half on the front foot as they searched for the all-important away goal and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was called into action. He denied Milner twice – once with a curling effort and the second a fierce drive into his hands – and got down low to keep out a Mohamed Salah effort in between.
But for all of Liverpool’s possession and pressure in the second period, it was Barcelona who doubled their lead in the 75th minute. Suarez’s initial effort hammered against the crossbar but Messi was waiting to roll the rebounded ball home with Alisson well off his line.
It was a moment of sheer class from Messi in the 82nd minute as he netted Barcelona’s third and bought up his 600th goal for the club. He lined up a free-kick from 25 yards out after a foul from Fabinho on the Argentine and he got the delivery inch-perfect as he curled the ball around the Liverpool wall and into the top corner.
Liverpool gave their hosts a scare not long after, though, as Firmino raced down the field, getting a pass around Ter Stegen, but his shot was cleared off the line by Gerard Pique. Salah was waiting with a tap-in from eight yards, but he could only find the post as Barcelona saw out their victory.
Liverpool suffered their joint-heaviest Champions League defeat, also losing 0-3 to Real Madrid in October 2014.
Barcelona’s Luis Suárez scored his first Champions League goal of the season, with his 36th shot of the campaign; his previous goal in the competition was in April 2018 against Roma, whose goalkeeper that day was Alisson.
Liverpool have now lost more matches in the Champions League this season (4 in 11 matches) than in all other competitions combined (3 in 38 matches).
In the top five European leagues in all competitions, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi has scored eight direct free-kick goals this season – twice as many as any other player.
Man of the match – Lionel Messi
Could it be anyone else? Once again, Messi pulls his team towards glory and his free-kick was nothing short of masterful. It was his 600th for Barcelona – 14 years to the day since his first senior goal – and they Catalan side look unstoppable with him on the field.
Our man in Spain, Michael Hincks, adds: “He looked in the mood from the get go, at times dribbling past Liverpool players for fun, and as the visitors pressed in the second half, it was Messi who delivered the double blow, reacting quickest when Suarez’s effort hit the bar before scoring a vintage free-kick.”
Barcelona travel to Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday before Tuesday’s second leg at Anfield. Liverpool play Newcastle live on Sky Sports Premier League on Saturday evening (kick-off at 7.45pm) before their home fixture. (Skysport)

TESCO GERMANY: An Industrial, Noise, Power Electronics, Dark Ambient,|
Neofolk, Experimental Music and Eclectic Media Mailorder, Label and Distribution
was born of the love of pure industrial music. The label was founded in the late 80's as a natural extension of the interests and recording activities of some young German artists and their friends. The name is an homage to the legendary British industrial band Throbbing Gristle
, who appropriated it from the UK supermarket chain
and wrote the song "Tesco Disco."
Throughout the 90's, the fledgling underground label transformed into a niche mailorder, and then into a successful independent distribution company. There are nearly 100 releases on the Tesco and Functional labels, and Tesco Distribution has grown to become one of the foremost hubs for industrial, noise, power electronics, dark ambient, neofolk and experimental vinyl and CDs from around the world.

Born and raised in Dartford, Kent, twenty-one-year-old Bethany Davey is currently perfecting her craft in Brixton. She’s a feisty singer/songwriter and performer set for world domination.
Bethany recently released her new single Falling Down.
The song has a surreal quality to it. I like the fusion of trap, pop and future bass. Besides, the vocals are outstanding. Furthermore, I’m also a fan of the solid hooks.
Lyrically, the artist delivers. She has a unique writing style. Falling Down touches on both mental health and self esteem.
Bethany’s music connects with people. Falling Down has so much meaning. It deserves to be heard.
The song was produced by Exire.

Background: Phthalates are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that pose a serious hazard to the human health. Many epidemiological studies revealed a relationship between phthalates exposure and blood pressure in general population, while the relationship in pregnant women remains unknown. Objectives: Aimed to elucidate whether phthalate exposure is associated with blood pressure among pregnant women. Methods: This study included 636 participants from Wuhan, China. Urine samples were conducted repeatedly in three trimesters, and 9 phthalates were measured in these samples. After each urine was sampled, all the participants completed blood pressure measurements. Associations between repeated measurements of phthalate concentration and blood pressure were evaluated by using generalized estimating equations. Stratified analysis by fetus gender was conducted. Results: Among the pregnant women with male fetuses, mono-i-butyl phthalate (MiBP) exposed in the 1st trimester was associated with the increased diastolic blood pressure (DBP) measured in the 2nd trimester, while the environmental risk score (ERS) measured in the 1st and 2nd trimester was positively associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and DBP in the 2nd trimester. No significant relationships were observed among all the population or pregnant women with female fetuses. Conclusions: Exposure to higher levels of MiBP may be related to increased blood pressure during pregnancy in pregnant women with male fetuses.

We must try tougher background checks
Carrying an assault rifle into a retail store is like crying “Fire!” in a crowded theater.
They say more background checks would not help, but why can’t they just try it?
Keep shining light on cemetery issues
The “By the Numbers” report (Globe, Aug. 30) by Debby Woodin was the most enlightening information I have read concerning the city departments, especially “Parkway Cemetery facts.”
Parkway Cemetery has always been my passion. I am a photographer/historian, so I took pictures of how much was being done in Osborne Cemetery across the street and how Parkway was overlooked. Until the late Joplin City Councilman Guy Palmieri went to the cemetery and saw the condition, we could not get cooperation from anyone. Everything else was a priority.
When Palmieri saw the cemetery, he went straight to the city manager and told him the cemetery was a monstrosity and to get busy doing something about it. He was constantly in touch, demanding improvements.
That was the beginning of change for Parkway Cemetery.
During this time, I took pictures of the damaged headstones that were run over by the riding mowers. I reported it and was told their jobs were in jeopardy, but little was done but talk. I sent those pictures years ago to city officials, which were also in a photo book of the unacceptable conditions at Parkway.
According to the report by Woodin, finally in 2018 they are repaired. Inquiries were made to the cemetery office about the rock wall. The rocks were supposed to be in storage to repair the walls, but we could see the rocks circling the flower beds and trees.
There has always been a need for a decent road; because of the slant in the land, mud washes down from the west side onto the headstones. If there was curb and guttering (like at Osborne Cemetery), this would eliminate the problem.
I give Dickie Gray (city cemetery superintendent) credit for listening and then taking care of the complaint as recently as a few months ago concerning a hole by a grave. It was filled the next day.
I have two young relatives — new residents of the city — who check the cemetery from time to time because the majority of our family is buried there.
Thanks to the workers who are doing a good job!
Woodin is to be commended for bringing out so many things in her article. Keep us informed — this is the only way we will know about the different departments and what’s being done in our city. Thank you, Debby.

Columnist ignores the liars on the left
A column by Sherry Buchanan in the Globe (Sept. 15) caught my attention because her article only included President Donald Trump and Nazis when it comes to lying. It is as if they are the only political group or individuals who lie, considering her article contains no others.
We are bombarded daily on television and in newspapers by socialists who are promising the youths, the elderly, the workers and the lazy a utopia they never imagined.
Youths will get free education from the cradle through college.
The elderly will get an increase in their monthly Social Security checks.
The workers will get higher wages.
The lazy will continue to get the current welfare system, and all will get free health care.
They are all lies, and we should be saying, “We will not put up with any more lies.”
The media is silent when it comes to these liars, and silence gives consent.
If these liars Buchanan overlooked “can make us believe such absurdities and make us commit atrocities,” then I fear for our nation.
I don’t like liars and avoid them as much as possible. In the upcoming election, we will have a choice. We can choose the one Buchanan described as a liar or we can choose the one I described as a liar.
I will take the one currently in office.
I fear what the other will do to our rights, liberties, lives and our country.
Rotary Sculpture Garden testifies to Joplin’s spirit
When it comes to doing public good, I am always inspired by the residents of Joplin.
Just look at the new Rotary Sculpture Garden at Joplin’s Mercy Park. It is a testament to the fact that we live in a community where so many people ask not what our city can do for them but what they can do for our community. Public art is a reminder of this creed.
Government and other local institutions such as The Joplin Globe play important roles in our quality of life. But the secret sauce that makes our community truly great is our own personal commitment to being good neighbors, stewards and citizens. Be inspired, be impressed and pass the good turn forward.

CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA – A dozen pro-life Catholics walking across America traipsed across Stanley County Tuesday, reaching — or getting pretty close — to Fort Pierre by sunset.
“Our goal is 60 miles a day,” said Ally Mechling, who just graduated from Ave Maria University in Florida. They walk in shifts, each averaging about 12 miles a day. They stay in a big RV and have a van that follows along.
The continental pilgrimage started from the challenge the late Pope John Paul II made at World Youth Day in Denver in 1995 for young people to create a “culture of life,” said Zach Sadusky, of Dover, Delaware, a student at Ave Maria majoring in economics and accounting.
“It’s very important to show people that people really care about pro-life issues,” he said. “But I also have a personal reason, to let God put me where He wants me to be.”
It’s mostly a Catholic event but non-Catholics are welcome, too, Mechling said.
Mechling said a family experience spurs her on the summer-long, nation-wide walk.
“I have an aunt who had an abortion a couple of years ago,” she said. “I hope through walking I will save some babies of other people and change some hearts of people like my aunt and uncle.
They started in Seattle and other teams started in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
“We will all meet in Washington, D.C.,” Sadusky said.
Prayer is a big part of the walk and teams stop at abortion clinics for peaceful, prayerful protests and “sidewalk counseling.”

Although expats cannot vote, it is important for us to follow, if at all possible, Costa Rican politics. Admittedly It is easier to follow a Brazilian soap opera where even grandma always comes on screen showing deep cleavage and no scar even after her third heart transplant.
While Costa Rica certainly has its share of cleavage, the scars of politics are very evident and we can use a few more heart transplants here at home.
The most recent soap story is Social Christian Unity Party (PUSC) candidate Dr. Rodolfo Hernández who jumped into the presidential fray but wrote a seething letter claiming politics was little more than back stabbing and dropped out of the.
But, faster that a speeding burrito he’s back.
He’s “all in” as they around the pokers tables as a candidate because, according to the news outlet CRHoy.com, “I have gotten to know a Costa Rica that has felt more pain than I have in these last days, I’ve known the indifference and anxiety that exists in Costa Rica where some have thrown Costa Rica away and left the poor without money,”
The poor will be saved with some yet to be announced plan and source of funds nor has there been any mention of how Dr. Hernández is going to get the money to the poor. And keep in mind his political party PUSC gave us Calderon and Rodriguez who both seemed to take from the poor and give to the rich on a pretty regular basis. According to a well known blogger, Richard Salazar Mora, PUSC owes the Social Security Health Care (CAJA) the very one Dr. Hernandez works for, 85.6 million colons in delinquent, mandatory contributions. Money which very much goes to help the poor with their medical needs.
In addition, we already had one physician as president, Dr. Abel Pacheco, who went down in history as the “do nothing magistrate.” He was the least popular president only to be bailed out by the current Presidenta Laura Chinchilla.
At last count there were fifteen presidential candidates with Johnny Araya out front.
If, by chance Dr. Hernández should capture enough votes to become the next president, he will be walking in the fire pit and you have to question if he has the stomach for it.
Corruption abounds, the infrastructure is falling apart, every institution has only one object; make money no matter how, violent crime has hit every area of the country and the worst of all is that Costa Rica is dead broke and technically bankrupt.
A tedious job indeed, but expats need to follow and learn Esencial Costa Rica politics in order to make some educated guess about living, buying and investing in this country.

write a post about the most fearless person I have known. Romi, and the
folks at the Huffington Post were gracious enough to post my piece.
Its called Fearless Till The End, and I am honored to be able to share the most fearless person I have known.
I dedicate Blogtalkradio to my father because if it wasn’t for his
inspiration and strength, this new platform may not have come to be.

Does not allow carbine length to fully cycle
There are a lot of parts that can be upgraded to improve performance or that might need replacing after you’ve used a rifle for a while. You might tinker with triggers and swap out safety selectors on a fairly regular basis, but how often does your buffer spring really cross your mind? It’s time it did. Strike Industries AR-15 flat wire buffer spring is the drop-in improvement you’ve overlooked for too long.
AR-15 buffer springs tend to be something of a weak link in the weapon system. Over time the OEM springs weaken, and can fail, bringing the service life of your rifle to an abrupt end. Strike Industries’ AR-15 flat wire buffer spring is made from 17-7 steel that has been cryo-treated to last longer and perform more reliably than its predecessors.
The space between spring arcs is larger, and will not compress with use. You’ll enjoy more consistent performance, increased bolt load and much smoother cycle than with OEM springs. The flat wire buffer spring controls harmonics and vibration allowing the shooter to get follow-up shots off more quickly. Not only is AR “bounce” virtually eliminated, but the irritating “twang” so many shooters complain of is a thing of the past when you use this AR-15 buffer spring.
Whether you’re building a new system or just looking to replace a worn AR-15 buffer spring, the Strike Industries Flat Wire AR Carbine Buffer Spring is the only buffer spring you need to consider for your standard length AR build. Not only does it outperform OEM springs, but it does it without breaking the bank.
Does not allow carbine length to fully cycle
Got this spring for wife's very first MSR (300BLK). Recoil nearly nonexistent. Happy wife, happy life!
Bought a brand new round spring to replace worn spring. Noise was horrible. Ordered the flat spring from Wing Tactical. It was everything they said it was. QUIETER, and fast shipping.
Excellent upgrade to the milspec buffer spring. No sproing noise! Very noticeable going from my pistol with the flat wire to a stock M&P15. Super happy with the purchase. They will now go on all of my builds!
It really does perform better than the standard round wire spring. Won't cook breakfast for you, but it does cycle more reliably. And you don't get the "twang" noise of the stock spring. Not that that was ever a deal breaker for me with the old one, but it's just that much nicer.
The perfect addition to my lower build! Going to get another one for my 2nd AR!!!
I have only used this spring for a few hundred rounds so far so, long term issues such as durability and "set" are not considered at this time. I got this to replace an Armaspec SRS which I was not too satisfied with. In all fairness, I got the "Heavy" Carbine version and would like to try the "Standard" Carbine instead. Unfortunately, the folks at Armaspec don't seem to have their act quite together so I've been unable to get the lighter buffer weight for my spring.
As far as the Strike Force Flat Spring, there were no feeding or ejecting problems encountered with the rounds fired. It functions smoothly and without the characteristic "twang" of the standard spring, not that I really cared about that. When operating the BCG manually, I could not tell any difference between actuating this spring and the stock spring (unlike the Armaspec which is what REALLY annoyed me about it). I could tell no difference in felt recoil between this spring and the stock spring (again unlike the Armaspec which I do believe actually reduced felt recoil a bit).
All in all would neither recommend nor not recommend this spring. If you are in the market to replace the spring you currently have, this one is certainly worth consideration.
As other reviewers noted, this spring immediately makes a difference in the feel of your BCG slamming home, it does so now with authority! I do believe it will make the carbine run more quietly too, especially since I've paired it with the Nickel-Boron coated buffer tube by WMD guns. Running the action with both parts installed was silky smooth. Would buy again.
These springs are in all three of my AR platforms (16" 556, 12.5" 556, and a 9" 300 blk) and The improved bolt load alone is worth it. It is subtle but you will feel the action smooth out both charging manually and during firing cycle. The benefit of the twang dampening is icing on the cake. $17 at + WT fast reliable shipping and no regrets.

A 19-year-old man died, and two other men – one 18 and the other 19 – were injured Monday afternoon during a crash in northwest Miami-Dade, county police said.
The driver of a black Toyota sedan was traveling westbound on Northwest 173rd Drive when it was struck by a white Toyota pickup that was heading southbound on Northwest 74th Avenue, crossing over to Northwest 173rd Drive, police said.
The sedan slid into a median and then struck a fire hydrant and a tree, police said.
One passenger was ejected from the vehicle and was later pronounced dead at the scene by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
The driver and one of the passengers in the sedan were taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition after the crash.
The driver of the white pickup was not hurt.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Whatcom County is a farming community.
Six out of 10 red raspberries grown in the United States comes from Whatcom County; this area is the nation’s largest producer of raspberries. Whatcom County is also No. 1 in the country at milk per cow, and in overall dairy production, Whatcom is the top county in Washington state.
In total farm production, Whatcom County is in the top 3 percent in the entire United States.
That’s especially impressive, considering that nearly 80 percent of the 1,400 farmers in Whatcom County are not full-time, professional farmers.
But every year, it gets harder and harder for farming business in Whatcom County.
Continued governmental regulation on the local agricultural industry is negatively impacting family farmers’ growth potential and overall success.
For example, continued water rights suspensions over the years mean that more than half of farmers have inadequate legal access to water — a critical resource for anything living, be it plant or animal.
And proposed rules from the Department of Ecology regarding Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations could spell death for many small dairy farms, as costs would quickly reach unsustainable levels for small operations (at an average of 450 cows and a farm gate value of $1.86 million average per farm, Whatcom dairy farms are considerably smaller than the state average and their numbers having been reduced dramatically over the past 10 years).
And it’s not just the farms themselves at stake. Remember those huge economic impact numbers?
Because farming provides support for many other local industries, the success of other independent organizations in Whatcom County is at risk. Bellingham Cold Storage and Perry Pallet, for example, provide services integral to the operation of local farms. Any decrease in farms’ viability negatively affects them, too.
Not to mention community-facing businesses like Edaleen Dairy, a growing and thriving business that, like the other companies mentioned, employs locals. Any constriction on Edaleen’s dairy operations inevitably means a loss in the company’s ability to run its five ice cream and milk shops in the county.
On August 24, in collaboration with Whatcom Family Farmers, the WBA will host the rollout of a Whatcom County agri-business economic impact study at a luncheon that will include a multi-farm tour.
After a delicious lunch and this special presentation, which will provide the most current economic data regarding berry, dairy, produce and the other businesses impacted by agri-business in Whatcom County farms, you’ll be taken on a tour where you can better understand what these businesses do on a daily basis.
If you love shopping at farmer’s markets and buying from local farms, now is the time to Step Up and help protect Whatcom County’s family farmers. Sign up on the Whatcom Business Alliance website to attend. One of the best ways to help family farmers in the Pacific Northwest is to get the facts. We’ll see you there!

Choosing the best exercise machine for a small space requires purchasing a machine that can best meet the recommendations for exercise. The American College of Sports Medicine, in collaboration with the American Heart Association, recommends that adults under 65 years of age get at least 30 minutes of moderately intense cardiovascular exercise per day for five days a week or 20 minutes of vigorous intensity cardiovascular exercise three days a week. The ACSM and AHA also recommend eight to 10 strength-training exercises twice a week as well. Always check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
Variable Resistance Stationary Bicycle
A variable resistance stationary bicycle will assist you in meeting cardiovascular exercise goals in a small space. Stationary bicycles can be purchased with only one wheel, making it even more suitable for small spaces. Variable resistance allows for increased resistance and demand on your cardiovascular system as you become more fit.
Treadmills are popular cardiovascular exercise machines. They offer a variety of speeds to meet your increasing level of fitness. Treadmills come in many sizes. Foldable treadmills will fit in the smallest of spaces, but make certain that you have enough floor space cleared for it to unfold.
Wall-mount Pulley System
A wall-mount pulley system is a space-saving weight system. The pulley system attaches to a wall or doorway. Attach different weights to the bottom of the pulley according to your fitness level. The pulley system allows you to have a consistent amount of resistance throughout the full arc of motion of your arm, leg or trunk during exercise.

How To Make Crispy, Crunchy, Keto Crackers
So, I have been trying to figure out how to adjust my macros so that not only are they right, but my calories stay around 1500 a day because my weight loss has stalled.
I had the perfect breakfast which I will include when I come up with my 21-day meal plan. So for lunch, I wanted something light to pair with the delicious strawberry frappe smoothie from A Sweet Life, who is on my Pinterest board. Click the link for her recipe, you won’t regret it! A low-carb treat!
My thought was ‘I’d love some crackers to go with some cheese and sliced Cajun roasted turkey’ but I tried to make crackers before and failed.
This time was a huge success, and the whole meal was tasty, filling, and under 500 calories! It felt more like a snack, which would be great for all you folks who have to eat lunch at your desks.
The crackers themselves are also on my Pinterest board, slightly modified from Eating Bird Food and hers only have three ingredients. I added a couple more, one being Nutritional Yeast Flakes and Slap Ya Mama spice on top for extra flavor.
To make them you will need parchment paper, a cookie sheet, a pizza wheel and your ingredients in a mixing bowl. It’s so easy
1 Cup of almond flour (not meal)
1T ground flax (I use Badia brand)
1/2 t of fine sea salt
Mix all of that until you form a dough. I added about a teaspoon of the nutritional yeast flakes to that, they add a bit of a cheesy taste.
Transfer the dough to your parchment paper and put a second piece of paper on top, press down with your hands until flat, then use a rolling pin ( or if you’re like me a straight plastic glass) to get it to about 1/8 inch.
Transfer that to your cookie sheet and cut into small squares (about 1 inch) and sprinkle your salt and spice on top. Use your hands to press the salt into the crackers and place into a 350 degree oven.
My oven cooks faster than most people’s evidently, cause my crackers only took about 15 minutes, not 20-25 like what was suggested. (Or mine were thinner)
Here they are finished.
I put my turkey and cheese on a cutting board and cut those with the pizza wheel as well. Then I stacked everything together for a yummy mouthful of crunchy, spicy, flavor.
According to my keto app, my combined macros for breakfast and lunch are: 896 calories, 18.1 carbs, 82.6 fat, and 20 protein. That leaves me quite a bit of wiggle room for dinner, and I don’t feel deprived at all.
The smoothie is very decadent and filling, I made it slightly sweet with my Stevia to go liquid sweetener.
Now, I try to keep it under 25 g of carbs in a day, yet that is hard to do. I don’t always make it, but I get pretty close. Friday nights are a free for all around here, so I’ll have to get creative for dinner. (probably a salad w/chicken)
So now you know how to make crackers that have a crunch, taste great, and hold up to toppings! Try them out yourself and tell me what you thought! Oh, my keto app is Stupid Simple Keto I think. Here’s a screenshot.

WhoMadeWho - Who Are They-
Author: Carlisle Rogers
Wednesday, 27 February 2008
Denmark’s WhoMadeWho are a strange marriage of musicians, making a melee of house, rock, funk, disco, indie and psychedelia, kind of like David Byrne might do if he wasn’t old now, all from the comfort of their drums, bass and guitar, live on stage, in the weirdest costumes since David Bowie.
Their imminent visit to Australia, then, is going to be received with the same pomp and circumstance reserved for the Queen, except they are interesting and talented.
With over a dozen gigs lined up across the antipodes, Barfod says the live show has evolved a lot over the past few years.
“We used to have a lot of costumes and we’ve got some strange new ones,” he says. “Besides that, it’s the same thing, high energy disco combined with some pop hooks and some stupid gimmicks. We are releasing our new album later in 2008, so we are playing some new songs.”
Barfod says the new material is similar to their eponymous debut, but with more rock and pop influences this time around.
“However, the concept is the same because we are a band doing disco beats and electronic club-oriented beats. This time we spent more time on mixing and on writing more sophisticated lyrics and melodies,” he says. “We did a lot of work with the vocals compared to the older stuff, but we are still playing around with strange instruments and funny ideas about how to arrange the tracks. To make its short, it’s going to be basically the same but a bit better and a bit more radio friendly.
“It’s changed a bit from the first album because the first album was all of us doing different kinds of stuff. This time Jeppe was sitting in the studio cutting up some parts of the song and then he’d send it to me and I’d edit it further and then I’d send it to Tomas and he’d record the synthesizer and send it back to me and I’d do a new synthesizer, etc. So it was a very creative and impulsive way of interactively writing.”
Barfod attributes the band’s production prowess to a combination of working in the studio cutting and mixing and old fashioned songwriting with lyrics and chords.
“It’s not just songwriting with a guitar and the guys sitting and writing something, it’s more like we build the tracks up together and then produce it,” he says. “But we have different goals with songwriting. The guitar player is just all over and adds the psychedelic aspects. He likes to use effects on his guitar and stuff like that. The bass player and singer is from the more classic rock school, and he likes Bowie and stuff like that, but still he’s excited about the new music. And then me I’m from the club scene, so it’s a combination of all of us and we bring our different backgrounds to the music.”

The body of the deceased has been removed to University Hospital Waterford for a post mortem examination.

A Simple Message
“For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
As the holidays come to a close, we leave the former year behind us, staring forward into a new year with myriad emotions.
Undoubtedly, fear and anxiety are among the feelings we experience as we look ahead. The uncertainty of the global pandemic, social unrest, and the ever-changing economic environment give the imagination ample room to conjure up worrisome thoughts. Likewise, we may find ourselves looking back upon the year passed with regrets, losses, and shame of failure fresh in our minds.
When thinking of the multitude of emotions the cusp of a new year can bring, it becomes very apparent why we observe Christmas so close to the turning of the year. With Christmas we are reminded that Christ came to offer humanity a gift.
With the New Year we are reminded of what that gift entails: a new beginning. Christ said that His gift is the gift of a new covenant, a gift where old things would pass away, and all things would be made new. A gift given freely to as many as will accept it. As the year rolls forward, we can do nothing to change anything that happened in the past year, nor can we hope to know exactly what we’ll face in this year to come.
What we do know is that whatever 2021 brought has gone now, and we have no choice but to face what 2022 brings. We have the blessed assurance of knowing that this year can be a new start for us. We can stride forward into the New Year as new people, with new love for God and each other, and new determination to be our best selves in spite of past failures or future oppositions. The turning of the year can certainly be a time of fear and uncertainty, but with Christ we can choose to see the gift of a New Year and a new start.

Centreville Day plans underway
CENTREVILLE — Downtown events naturally bring together families and neighborhoods as well as visitors. The Town of Centreville is known for its Christmas parade where marching bands, fire companies, businesses and civic groups strut their stuff to the delight of thousands of onlookers.

Lifespan or Healthspan? A New Chapter in Aging Research
Aging has been a subject of intense fascination for centuries. Scientists, philosophers, writers, anthropologists, sociologists, explorers and laypersons have discussed, written about, speculated about, and searched for the keys to the aging process, in hopes of discovering the elusive fountain of youth.
For the last several decades, in particular, scientists in the field of gerontology have directed their attention towards identifying aging factors that, if modified, could decelerate or even halt aging. For example, modern aging researchers in the field of genetics have uncovered two genes—APOE and FOXO3A—that have been shown to be significantly involved in the aging process.
Biological researchers are currently investigating the potential role of certain rare alleles in extending longevity. Other researchers have identified age-related proteins known as sirtuins. Sirtuins control several biological pathways and are present in antioxidants such as resveratrol, which is the primary ingredient in red wine.
And so on, with more research taking place every day at Universities and other research facilities around the world. The facts of aging—what is happening on a biochemical, genetic, and physiological level—remain rich for exploration.
There are still basic questions that remain unanswered. For example, what triggers aging in our tissues and cells? Why do these triggers occur? And, what are the specific biological processes impacting aging at the cellular and molecular levels? However, significant progress has been made in the last decade with more to be expected on the horizon.
So far so good. But how does this relate to good health?
Not as much as one would think.
When it comes to aging research, lifespan has been the most common measurement, mostly because it is objective and easy to measure. As such, scientists have focused on prolonging lifespan based on the assumption that lifespan was a good indicator of the number of years of good health. Recent experiments, however, have suggested that this is not necessarily the case.
In 2015, a team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, in an anti-aging study involving tapeworms, divided lifespan into what they called healthspan and gerospan.
The team defined healthspan as the number of years a body functions at 50% or better capacity, with gerospan being the number of years from that point until the body’s eventual death. The team’s going-in assumption was that a healthy long-lived organism would have an extended healthspan and compressed gerospan. What they found, however, was that lifespan and healthspan were not correlated.
In fact, their research showed that the long-lived organisms spent a higher percentage of their extended lifespan in an unhealthy, frail state. They concluded that aging research must include additional factors beyond lifespan alone.
As lead researcher, Tissenbaum concluded, “Ultimately, all medical research is aimed at prolonging life – but we must strive to prolong healthy life. Therefore, our challenge remains defining health and the ability to test and quantify healthy living.” Moving forward, this particular research team has decided to turn towards identifying genes and interventions that extend healthspan and lifespan.
Another challenge to the “lifespan as an indicator of healthspan” assumption arose from recent experiments, particularly in mice, which have demonstrated that significant improvements in health do not necessarily result in increased lifespan. For example, NIA researchers examining the effects of resveratrol in mice on a normal diet found that resveratrol had an extremely positive impact on health, but did not increase lifespan.
It follows that life expectancy can no longer be considered as the best indicator of good health.
Let’s talk about healthspan.
Understanding how to extend healthspan apart from its impact on life expectancy has become a growing focus of new research, and for good reason. Few of us would look forward to the prospect of living to be 100 if we knew that a good number of those extra years would be spent in a state of considerable and progressive physical and/or mental decline.
Thus, while there is still a place for lifespan research, healthspan research focused on the postponement and prevention of chronic disease and disability has tremendous potential to allow us to live healthier longer.
The Alliance for Aging Research in Washington, DC has reported that eighty percent of Americans 65 and older have at least one chronic condition, such as cancer, pulmonary disease, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Fifty percent have two or more.
That means most elderly Americans are battling serious illnesses and disabilities throughout their senior years. According to Alliance president and CEO, Susan Peschin, “One hundred years ago we didn’t have the luxury of old age. While we have been able to add years to life, we have not been able to maintain health and vigor. The idea is to compress morbidity and lengthen the period of healthy and vigorous life.”
The average American lifespan is 79 years. The average American healthspan–the number of years without chronic disease–is 64 years. (The longest confirmed lifespan is 122.5 years, but we’ll come back to that later.)
This means that the average American will spend the last fifteen years of his or her adult life suffering from one or more chronic diseases. The following graph shows how this can play out under various scenarios.
This graph is intended to illustrate why understanding how to extend healthspan apart from its impact on life expectancy is a growing focus of many studies. Clearly, the worst case scenario is that third one, living to be 100 years old but sick for the last thirty-five years. The ideal scenario is the one showing extended life and health span, which is hopefully where modern research is taking us.
So let’s get back to that person who lived to be 122.
The holder of the longest confirmed human lifespan was Jeanne Louise Calment a French woman who lived for 122 years and 164 days. She spent her entire life in Arles, France, outliving both her daughter and grandson by several decades.
Calment was, by all published accounts, a remarkable lady. When she was 85 she took up the sport of fencing. She rode her bicycle up until age 100. Calment lived alone until just before she turned 110 when she moved into a nursing home due to vision complications.
Even still, she remained in good shape and continued walking until age 114, when she suffered a bone fracture necessitating surgery. After the operation, Calment began using a wheelchair. At age 119 she reportedly weighed approximately 99 pounds. She died three years after that.
Remember that ideal lifespan/healthspan scenario above? Extend that healthspan period for another 22 years, and that is Calment. According to her, the secret to good health and longevity is a diet rich in olive oil, port wine and the consumption of 2.2 pounds of chocolate per week. She is said to have remained mentally intact until her very end.
Unfortunately, we can’t all live as long as, or as healthily as, Jeanne Calment. At least not yet.
While advancements in medicine and technology may have resulted in an increased overall lifespan, a widespread adherence to exercise, dieting, and other healthy lifestyle elements may be necessary to obtain a comparable increase in healthspan.
Thus, while lifespan research remains an important area of study, healthspan research holds promise for revealing ways to delay or prevent disease and disability so that many of us can live healthier longer. And, with that, we may have the opportunity to enjoy our later years by partaking in more of life’s experiences, spending time with friends and family, doing things that make us happy, and simply savoring everything in life that makes it worth living.

It is with deep sadness and a sense of tremendous loss that we bring our mind to all the people and countless beings who are experiencing the tremendous challenge of the wildfires in Australia.
The pain and suffering, fear and confusion of so many is beyond description and any words we use to express, particularly from so far away, is feeble and inadequate. Most of us are at a loss to even begin to try and imagine at the loss and destruction that the fires caused. We urge all our Sangha members and friends from all over the world to single-pointedly and with one mind pray for everyone affected by the fires and such similar disasters in many other such places, and help in any way that is possible.
On January 8th 2020 the Sangha of Mindrolling gathered for a prayer ceremony for all those affected by the fires in Australia. All our prayers and thoughts are continually with everyone there at this incredibly difficult time. We continue to pray for every single being affected by this tragedy and hope that all of us in this world learn to work together to avert such tragedies in the future as much as possible.
We encourage all our Sangha friends to continue to practice the Tara practice and accumulate the praises to Tara.

Although tidying-up during springtime can be good for human health and psyche, it has the potential to be detrimental to pet health.
Compareandsave.com reports the arrival of warm weather rouses the urge to spruce-up homes and yards—but many pet owners don’t realize how hazardous some household cleaners and chemicals can be to dog and cat health.
The website reports that certain cleansers are likely to cause skin irritation and even burns in both animals and humans alike.
According to the source, rust removers, toilet bowl cleaners and calcium removers all have the potential to cause corrosive injury and can result in both dog and cat health care problems.
“Strong acidic and alkaline cleaners in particular should be well-guarded,” the site reports.
Pet Poison Helpline told the source that even milder cleaners can cause problems like diarrhea and vomiting in pets.
Dr. Pete Wedderburn, columnist for the Daily Telegraph, suggests pet insurance as a helpful way to budget for springtime accidents that could occur.
“It does allow you to make the best decisions about your pet’s care without worrying about the financial implications if serious accidents or illnesses do happen to come your way,” he wrote on his blog about health insurance for pets.
Wedderburn added that it’s important to do lots of research when opting for a pet insurance policy.
“It’s worth taking time to go over your selected policy in detail before handing over your credit card details,” he wrote, adding that pet insurance policies that look cheap will likely provide less coverage and benefits.
Though some springtime cleaners only cause slight irritation in pets, according the examiner.com, others can be lethal to pet health.
According to the source, Linseed oil, turpentine and paint thinner can all be dangerous if pets are exposed to them.
Writer for examiner.com, Roberta Baxter, urges pet owners to remember not to leave rags, paint brushes, or sponges lying around after using them combined with chemicals.
“In the evening, when you are finished with your spring preparations, secure all your tools and cleaning products,” Baxter wrote.

China has always seemed to have a problem with air pollution ever since the country has industrialized. For one of the most populous countries in the world, the government in China has always remained extremely lax when the issue of environmental safety to its citizens is concerned.
However, it now seems that China's government has no choice but to pay attention to environmental concerns.
Toxic smog produced by China's factories and cars has forced the country's government to issue a "red alert" on air quality for the second time in December in Beijing. A red alert is issued by China's government when the weather forecast calls for more than 72 hours of stagnant air, (lack of wind). In the Chinese capital of Beijing, levels of PM2.5 - or some of the finest and most dangerous particles of smog possible in the air - were calculated yesterday to be at 331 parts per million. If that isn't bad enough, officials in China state that if the wind doesn't pick up soon and blow the smog off shore, the levels of PM2.5 could reach over 500 parts per million by early this week. The World Health Organization recently commented that 500 parts per million would be 20 times greater than the level that is currently considered safe for human beings.
[caption id="attachment_2661594" align="aligncenter" width="670"] The Beijing skyline is barely visible through the thick layer of toxic smog.[Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images][/caption]What exactly does a "red alert" in China entail? Reports state that China has severely restricted factory production as well as the amount of cars it allows on its roads in an effort to cut down on the toxic smog that is being pumped into the atmosphere. The primary cause "of a sudden," red alert is a lack of heavy winds over parts of China, which has left the country's citizens struggling for fresh air. Reports have stated that a majority of China's urban residents have elected to stay indoors as the air quality outside is unbearable.
Since the red alert was put into effect, schools in Beijing have been closed, and over half of the registered cars have been banned from the roads. Outdoor grills and fires are also banned.
Right now, the biggest sources of toxic smog in China are from coal-fired power plants and the ever-growing amount of automobiles on China's highways. There are mountains on three sides of Beijing which trap smog above the capital city in a dense cloud. According to a report from the World Health Organization, if China's government doesn't reduce its carbon emissions from industrial sources and invest heavily in renewable energy technology, the effects of the already toxic level of air pollution in the country could produce terrifying results.
Some of the health effects caused by air pollution the likes of which China is now experiencing include ischaemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (or COPD), lung cancer, and acute lower respiratory infections in children. The World Health Organization warned that over 7 million premature deaths are already linked to air pollution worldwide.
"Cleaning up the air we breathe prevents noncommunicable diseases as well as reduces disease risks among women and vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly. Poor women and children pay a heavy price from indoor air pollution since they spend more time at home breathing in smoke and soot from leaky coal and wood cook stoves."The question now is, can China backpedal from the brink of disaster? The country's growing economy depends on the millions of factories the country contains, and as its economy improves, more and more Chinese citizens expect to drive their own cars. What do you think? Can China improve its own air quality?

108 million people.
That’s how many people around the world face food insecurity in 2016, according to a recent report on the global food crisis. The report stated that people who were in areas experiencing civil conflict and famine were much more likely to suffer from food insecurity and a variety of health issues that accompany the issue.
The report also shows that the number of people suffering from food insecurity has climbed dramatically from 80 million in 2015.
“This report highlights the critical need for prompt and targeted action to effectively respond to the food crises and to address their root causes. The EU has taken leadership in this response. In 2016, we allocated €550 million already, followed by another €165 million that we have just mobilized to assist the people affected by famine and drought in the Horn of Africa,” said Neven Mimica, Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development.
