White men don’t feel part of diversity efforts. Many think diversity is about “helping other people with their issues.” They don’t see their own self-interest in diversity efforts—how D&I is for them, too. Even worse, many feel like they’re seen as part of the problem.

Those are big problems.

Why do so many white men feel this way?

Let’s start with a dive into US business culture. Most organizational leaders hold mindsets and assumptions that keep white men on the sidelines of diversity.

The impact?

Diversity and inclusion efforts stall. Stagnate. Remain surface level.

Who Does Get the Focus?

Historically, race examines people of color’s experiences, gender examines women’s experiences, and sexual orientation examines experiences of gay, lesbian, bisexual people. What does not get usually examined is the experiences of being white, male and heterosexual. The result? White men do not think diversity is about them, too.

In other words, those who are traditionally “outsiders” are usually the focus while “insiders” rarely get attention, nor do they recognize how their “insiderness” gives them a different experience.

This gets in their way of forming partnerships with outsiders.

Who Carries the Burden of Leading and Teaching Diversity?

Several implications arise from this historical focus. One is the assumption that those traditionally focused on must be the leaders and teachers of diversity efforts because white men can’t lead or teach diversity.

White men in mixed diversity learning sessions often look to white women and people of color to teach—and sometimes even prove that there is a diversity problem. They may sit back and be passive observers.

More Assumptions: Zero-Sum, Focus on Data, Overlook the Heart

Some white men see diversity as a zero-sum game: if others gain, we lose

We often don’t see their own cultural lens: how a focus on data discounts the emotions around the data, a missed opportunity to create new partnerships.

We think diversity is about numbers and getting more representation, overlooking how the lack of inclusion existing in the culture once the numbers are there results in high attrition.

We want to rush into fixing a problem that we have not begun to fully understand, viewing it as a problem to solve rather than a longer journey to understand.

We forget to remain in learning mode, open to the complexities of diversity and inclusion always. Life safety and quality control, diversity isn’t a one-and-done class. It’s a constant, life-long commitment personally and organizationally.

White Men ARE Diversity Leaders

Who sets the culture and must, therefore, be central in changing the culture?

Robust, resilient diversity in the workplace thrives only when members of the majority group, or the insiders, actively educate and challenge each other. Insiders influence how well diversity and inclusion will work internally, either understanding their role or continuing to place the burden on outsiders.

The WMFDP way of engaging white men is an empowering way to shift mindsets and build the consciousness, competency and courage to form real partnerships across difference. Everyone, not just white men, have work to do to strengthen their diversity partnerships. The learning happens in an empowering non-blaming way that models how we want the future culture to be.

Take your diversity and inclusion journey and you receive a bonus: you have just massively strengthened key critical leadership skills in your leaders.

Showing my TEDx talk, White Men: Time to Discover Your Cultural Blind Spots, to key white male leaders in your organization is another next step to engaging them. You can also learn more about the importance of insiders by listening to this episode of The Insider Outsider Podcast: Why We Focus on White Men (in the US).

Insiders Must Lead Globally

Globally, these issues play out uniquely, but all share the same underlying concept: Insiders must take an active role in understanding their insiderness and partnering with each other to educate and intervene to create inclusive teams and organizations.

The Result?

When insiders, or white men in the US, are involved as critical agents of diversity and inclusion efforts, organizations around the globe see meaningful shifts in how leaders and their teams build partnerships and become better leaders.


View Full Version : filiation of the IE peoples of NW Iberia during the Bronze age

29-11-13, 16:27
Hello Maciamo and all eupedia forum users : ) It’s some time now I follow this site which I found very interesting..

I would have a question to pose about a very controversial theme here in my homeland, Galicia:

So were there a significative celtic presence down here? for decades, there have been two views, and today it is still difficult to draw a conclusion, since politics and prejudices are often involved on both sides..

I mean a significative presence of Celts because those who deffend there were not a Celtic culture here often associate celtic names found in stelae or in the etymology of many toponyms as being of elements arrived as mercenaries for Roman legions; or as being not Celtic at all; but Italic or “alter-europaische”-

On the one hand, we have celtic-like names in this area, but it seems they are rather archaic. We don’t have any Gallaic inscription found. On the other hand, Lusitanian language filliation is still a mystery, since it shares many aspects with Celtic languages, but it keeps the initial p- and shows other similarities with Italic languages.

So the question would be: what can say mtDNA / yDNA tests about this? I’ve noticed R1b is relatively low in these areas, in comparisson with other parts of Iberia and the Atlantic facade. Maciamo thesis of R1b collonization of Western Europe from the East sounds pretty convincent to me… does this put an end to Sykes / Oppenheimmer studies about (northern) iberian (including Galicia) links to the Islands? what indo-european culture(s) settled in NW Iberia before Roman; and how deeply? (some pre-IE language remains were still present at Roman times; and it seemed to have been a certain degree of diglossia: Strabo reports that there were two words used to define Minho river, Minios (probably of Celtic origin) and the even more common Bainis or even Baites (that would be pre-IE; close homonim with andalusian Baitis, and anyway similar to basque ibai (river) and iberian baika (riverside land))

I used to think there has been one non-IE speaking people; maybe around 40 % of population by the I Century B.C; that would have been the remains of Neolithic and Mesolithic Farmers linked to the Megalithic culture (native I; H and U and E1b1b; with large contributions of middle easterns since Neolithic times (G2a; J2...); about 40 % of people would belong to an pre-Celto-Germanic-Italic-split-IE language (the first IE that would have arrived here, around 1800 B.C ?) and the remaining 20% would have been a true Celtic minority close relative to Celtiberians; arrived after the VIII Century B.C...) I don't know if it makes sense looking at DNA data, specially because the pre-Celto-Germanic-Italic language seems not have arrived at all to Iberia; as migrations of the first IE wave would have been groups of bronze armed soldiers focused on ruling the conquered lands; as Maciamo's theory states that happened in Basque case. But then, from which language / period Lusitanian comes from?

Thanks and sorry for the English

Hello, does anyone know something about this subject?

Hi, welcome to Eupedia.

I have moved this thread to "History and Civilizations" as it not only involves genetics but also archaeology, history and linguistics and fits in better in that cathegory, rather than genetics.

Now, regarding your questions, by the time that the Romans conquered the areas, the entire north and west of the Iberian peninsula (along with the centre) was heavily Celticized, and if you exclude Gaul and the British Isles, the north and northwest of Iberia also had the highest density of Celtic place names, and there is no conclusive evidence for a presence of pre-Indo-European languages in the northwest of Iberia (unlike the east and the south of the Iberian peninsula).

With regard for Lusitanian, I would argue that it is affiliated with the Celtic languages, despite the preservation of the *p sound from Proto-Indo-European (which is lost in all other Celtic languages, including Celtiberian), and it may thus stem from an earlier stratum of Celtic languages that were introduced in Iberia. Also Gallaecia was probably a "mixed" language area, as both Lusitanian and properly Celtic names can be found in the area.

The exact mode of how Celtic languages in Iberia arrived there is not clear, but my opinion is that the traditional Hallstatt/La-Tene model (ie, an introduction of Celtic languages with the iron age) cannot explain the presence of Celtic languages so far in the west. Since 2009, John Koch of the university of Aberystwyth proposed that the Celtic languages originated in the Atlantic Bronze Age, rather than in the Hallstatt Culture of Central Europe, but there are several problems with this idea: the first is that in virtually all scenarios on the origin of the Indo-European languages, Indo-European languages were introduced from the East, and it makes no sense to assume that (this is also the problem of the so-called 'Stelae People' hypothesis, which Maciamo disassembles here (http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/29290-Why-R1b-couldn-t-have-been-spread-around-Western-Europe-by-the-Bell-Beaker-people)), and also as far as the archaeological record goes, there is no credible evidence of a west-to-east expansion from the Atlantic Bronze Age. Koch also proposed that Tartessian (the language of the southwest of Iberia) was Celtic but this has been ripped apart by his critics. However, while the language itself was not Celtic, the Tartessians were in contact with Celtic-speaking peoples living in other areas of the Iberian peninsula (as evidenced by the recorded name of their king, "Arganthonios").

On the other hand, if one removes the "absoluteness" of archaeological cultures as far as their language affiliation goes, its plausible to assume that Celtic languages evolved on two fronts one (the more advanced Celtic languages) in Central Europe (which were introduced to Britain at the start of the Iron Age), and the other (the more primitive ones) in the Atlantic region.

I had written a long post but something failed when submitting it; so I'll try to make a resume

Some authors deny an ancient presence of celts in NW Iberia based on archeological findings, which instead points to a stronger mediterranean / phoenician connection than traditionaly thought. In fact, it seems that there is no hint here of the most properly celtic items (burials, chariots... (to sustain this, some authors have pointed that "castros" (hillfort) entrances had stairs)) deities (some consider Navia, Cossus, Reve, Bandua as non celtic; while others claim that Lucoubos could be linked to Lug) and social organization; arranged here in "Centurias" and not "gens"; that is, people was self-identified with his own village / area; and not with family roots). In fact, many of the presumably celtic elements of old Gallaecia seem to have been developed in roman times (this seem to be the case the "castros" culture itself; which, though based on indigenous precedents achieved is top development in 1st century AD). Even the personal and place names could have arrived only in roman times, when some auxiliar troops and settlers from Celtiberia would have come. Interestingly, some of the place names given usually as genuine celtic; those ended in -briga; have sometimes non-celtic first elements; both pre-celtic (Conim-briga...) or latin (Augustobriga; Flaviobriga...); which could indicate that "briga" was a borrowed world from celtiberians to mean "hillfort" (as the related word "burgo" was used later in Middle age Iberia borrowed from German)

Now, for me the question here is: if R1b NW Iberians (on the other hand; relatively scarce (under 60%) in comparison with other areas) were not proper celts... what they were? should we consider them as being proto-celtic (and thus, speaking an elder stage of celtic language that any other celtic dialect had passed through) or para-celtic (that is, belonging to an all-new branch of IE dialects; sister of italo-celtic and germanic languages; but divergent with them) ? When was this area Indo-europeanized and which peoples might have taken part on this process; attending to DNA data?

  • Photosynthesis at WorkThese plants are growing and they are using light energy to help them grow. They do this through a process called photosynthesis.
  • Plants use carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and light energy to perform photosynthesis. This can be summarized by this formula 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (solar) →C6H12O6 + 6O2.
  • A light dependent reaction takes place when chlorophyll molecules within the plant cell, located in the thylakoid, absorb sunlight. That light energy is transferred to NADPH and ATP molecules which carry high energy electrons to a light-independent reaction. When NADPH and ATP molecules are formed, oxygen is released by the plant.
  • In the light-independent reaction the NADPH and ATP molecules combine with carbon dioxide and water to form energy storage molecules like glucose (C6H12O6)
  • Animals, including humans, need both oxygen and glucose to sustain life. Animals breathe the oxygen that plants release. The glucose is harvested by eating the plant or parts of plants.
  • Animal cell respiration works opposite of photosynthesis. Cell respiration uses glucose and oxygen. This can be summarized by this formula C6H12O6 + 6O2→6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP and Heat).

Interview with Mollo Rilla

Interview by Svetlana Likhacheva

Interview with Marco Ciofani, lead guitar/ lead vocal of Mollo Rilla

To celebrate the coming of the band’s brand new album called Viva El Camino, the creator of the band decided to share some of his thoughts about it. Mollo Rilla is known for their wild and unusual style which blends a lot of different music techniques and traditions together – because they think that is “the musical freedom”.

Mollo Rilla

Firstly, thank you so much for this interview today. You are releasing your second full-length album soon. What kind of story it is going to take us into?

Viva El Camino means long live the road. Each song picks a topic crucial to life and either explores the subject or celebrates it.

 What was the most inspiring thing for you in the upcoming record?

Recording in LA at The Hobby Shop Studio in Highland park. Working with Uncle Bil Lane and Mudrock. Also having written songs that I feel are strong and exciting to play.

Do you create new music altogether, or does everyone prefer to write their own part?

I show up with a song structure then we collaborate on parts.

Your music style is known for blending a lot of different musical styles and a very unusual sound. How would you term your style and music genre?

People ask me that quite a bit. I usually just say that we’re a hard rock band. Then if they check us out they can decide for themselves. Might be sort of a lame ambiguous answer but it’s not my style to spew a bunch of pretentious subgenres. I’d rather people just listen and see for themselves.

Mollo Rilla

 Which track from the new album was your favorite to work on and why?

That’s tough. “Mike Angelo” had some moments where I fell out of my chair from excitement. Scott Gillman played the sax on that track and just completely took my head off. What you hear on the record was his first take. Unreal talent paired with top professionality and an overall kind guy.

You guys are all from different bands. What are the pros and cons of having a bunch of experienced musicians with different styles in one band?

We all enjoy all music. We like to draw from spanish to stoner to metal etc. What binds us together is the love for fun heavy rocknroll. I wouldn’t necessarily say theilre are cons to it. I love what everyone can bring to the table even if we don’t use it at that moment.

Did the way of recording change since your past record? If so, how and why?

We have come much further in our musicianship as a band since we started. We also practiced these songs a lot before heading to LA as to be as prepared as possible and not waste time. As far as how we recorded didn’t change much. Just the change of location and the people we worked with played a positive role in the process.

How do you keep the atmosphere during the writing or recording process peaceful and avoid creative conflict?

I truly believe in the musicians I work with. Also naturally I’m an upbeat guy so while pulling 13 hour days in the studio I try to keep the energy up and positive.

The sound of Viva El Camino’s is considerably heavier than the one in your debut record. Why did you make a decision to create a darker and heavier sound?

Simply because it’s really fun.

mollo rilla photoshoot

You have already released one song from the album. It’s called Night Fang and, to my mind, it’s a very interesting and energetic song. What was behind the decision to release this particular song before the album release?

Everyone had to pick 3 songs that could be a single and “Night Fang” was on all our lists. It’s a bop. A weird bop perhaps, but a bop none the less.

Songs Let Go pt. One and Two are very different songs in both instrumentals and vocals. In addition, they don’t even go one after another in the order of the tracks. Is there any specific story or hidden context behind these two songs?

I write about two different ways one might choose to “let go”.

What are the band’s plans for the upcoming year?

To keep practicing and writing. To keep believing in a brighter better tomorrow from this current hour we live. All of us boys want to tour so we will be doing that as soon as we can.

Thank you for your time, is there anything you’d like to say to our readers?

This record brought us a ton of joy to make. I hope it brings you even a little joy to listen to.


The Croods: A New Age (PG)

Age 8+

Prehistoric cartoon sequel has slapstick, rude humor.

The Croods: A New Age” is the sequel to 2013’s “The Croods,” which centered on a family of Neanderthals, including teen daughter Eep (voiced by Emma Stone), trying to survive the elements. This film focuses on Eep’s romance with Guy (Ryan Reynolds) and her dad Grug’s (Nicolas Cage) worries about losing his daughter. While the clan faces all kinds of perilous moments, most of them are over-the-top and slapstick — fending off wild beasts is just another day in this family’s life. But as the story goes on, more threats emerge that could scare younger viewers. Those threats include monkeys with glowing eyes and a giant ape monster that intends to eat some of the main characters. Some kids may also find the “punch monkey” characters — which communicate by slugging each other — hilarious and try to imitate them. Characters use mild insults (“dumb,” “twits,” etc.), there’s some potty humor, and a bee sting makes one character act as if she’s drunk. Characters kiss, and one male is shown shirtless. Parent/child separation is referenced during a flashback, and the death of a boy’s family is implied. This film strays even further from actual prehistory than the first one did, but some tidbits could prompt discussions about human evolution and migration, and there are clear themes of courage, teamwork and the importance of being yourself. There are also some great “girl power” moments when Eep and the other female characters have to rescue the men. (95 minutes)

In theaters.

Black Beauty (Unrated)

Age 10+

Peril, emotional intensity in adaptation of classic tale.

This adaptation of Anna Sewell’s 1877 classic novel “Black Beauty” is emotionally taxing, with the central horse suffering abuse, loss and danger. The human characters, too, find themselves in perilous situations, including being dragged, chased, thrown and kicked by horses, nearly drowning in a flooding river and risking their own lives to pull horses out of a burning stable. There’s also emotional intensity throughout. Both the horse, Beauty, and her human soul mate, Jo (Mackenzie Foy), have suffered the loss of their parents and find themselves alone, their spirits nearly broken. Teen riders make fun of Jo for living and working at the stables, saying she smells bad. When Beauty is sold off to a series of different owners, she’s put to hard labor, mistreated and nearly worked to death more than once. Some of these scenes are quite sad; cruelty to animals can be very difficult to watch. That said, the film, told mostly from the horse’s perspective, ultimately shows a clear respect and admiration for the animals, and it conveys positive messages of loyalty, family, perseverance, resilience and courage. It ends on an uplifting note. (109 minutes)

Available on Disney Plus.

Superintelligence (PG)

Age 10+

Melissa McCarthy fans will like A.I. comedy with pratfalls, kissing.

Superintelligence” is a comedy about a sophisticated, all-powerful artificial intelligence (A.I.) system that chooses a perfectly “average” woman, Carol Peters (Melissa McCarthy), to test as an example of whether humanity should be saved, enslaved or destroyed. The A.I. (which uses the voice of real-life comedian and talk-show host James Corden) tasks her with reconciling with her ex-boyfriend, George (Bobby Cannavale), to prove that humans are capable of love and redemption. Iffy language is minimal (“what the hell,” “badonkadonk”), but there’s some drinking and an implied love scene (silhouettes shown through closed blinds), as well as kissing. Expect lots of McCarthy’s signature pratfalls and physical comedy — other than that, violent and scary content consists of the A.I.’s threat of mass destruction. Ultimately, though the movie has themes of empathy, compassion and gratitude. (106 minutes)

Available on HBO Max.

Moonbase 8 (TV-14)

Age 14+

Astronaut sitcom features science disasters, body humor.

Moonbase 8” is a comedy series about three wannabe astronauts training on a simulated moon base in Arizona. The show stars John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker and Fred Armisen, three actors who are known for absurdist sketch comedy and anti-comedy. However, “Moonbase 8” plays mostly like a straightforward, traditional sitcom. The show builds comedy around the astronauts’ general unpreparedness for their mission. Jokes come from natural and scientific disasters that happen along the way, which sometimes cause great harm to the characters. Bodily function humor is also a big part of the show. For example, at one point the characters drink urine. Otherwise, the content is typical sitcom fare: buffoonery and learning from disastrous mistakes. (Six half-hour episodes)

Available on Showtime.

Lesson aim

My aim for this lesson is to get the students to construct an algorithm for identifying a propaganda poster.

Thinking aims

For the students:

  • To identify which of the "catagories" they identified when sorting, are values and which are parameters.
  • To have the students identify which values belong to the parameters that they have, and which of these paramters are useful for identifying propaganda posters and should be taken further into their algorithms.

The lesson is a two hour lesson that in reality lasts 1hr and 45 minutes due to lunch. I started by getting them to cut out all the "catagories"they had from the last lesson. They were then to group the ones that belonged together, such as names of colours together, items of clothing together etc. They were then to think of a parameter for each of their little groups of values. I initially asked one person from each group to write their parameters on the whiteboard, but this didn`t work well from a logistical point of view. Next they had to look at their groups of parameters with the values, and try to see a pattern in the values belonging to each parameter i.e. limited use of colour, bold writing, large figures. The final stage was to then create an algorithm that could be used to identify a propaganda poster. To do this they had to select which of the parameters they felt were important.

Reflection on lesson and aims

Not all groups managed to finish their algorithms and I felt that too much time was wasted cutting out the never-ending lists of catagories. Also it was helpful to have an overview on the board of the parameters that each group had identified, but in practice they whole group would go up and just stand watching (and criticising) as one person wrote.  So I would be a lot more specific in future about how I wanted this done. I also feel that the class was not as motivated this week, and they were not as keen to do the activities as they had been to do the initial sorting .

I still feel that there is a gap between identifying the parameters and values, and transforming them into useful steps in the algorithm. My initial feelings are that the parameters are not specific enough to be useful. In order to make the algorithms useful tools I did remind the students of some of the things that shoudl be there, like composition for example, but they had to go back to theiir paramaters and values in order to decide WHAT it was about composition that should be there.

Question: How Do I Know If My Car Has A Misfire?

Why is my car misfiring when I accelerate?

Single-cylinder misfires usually come from an ignition failure or a fuel injector problem.

Bad spark plugs and plug wires are classic culprits, but you could also be looking at a bad ignition coil.

A “lean condition” code will most often indicate a bad or clogged fuel injector..

How do you fix a misfire?

Inspect the spark plugs for signs of damage. Use a spark plug socket to remove the plug so you can get a good look at it. The damage you see will help you determine the cause of the misfire. If the spark plug is just old, replacing it may solve the problem. Make sure to replace and properly gap new spark plugs.

Can a misfire go away on its own?

It can go away permanently if it was bad gas. Otherwise, it is likely to return. Yes an “italian tune-up” can sometimes clear a misfire condition.

Can low oil cause a misfire?

Can a Bad Oil Pump Cause Misfire? Yes. A bad oil pump causes misfire by creating low oil pressure in the engine.

Will injector cleaner fix a misfire?

How much does it cost to fix a misfire?

What is the most common cause of a misfire?

What does a car misfire feel like?

Rough Acceleration: As you start driving if it feels like the car is jerking but it’s not happening when idling, that’s also a sign of a misfire. … That said, if one cylinder is misfiring, that can unbalance the whole car and noticeably shake up your ride while driving and even idling.

What can cause a car to misfire?

Most Common Causes of an Engine MisfireIgnition system problems. When most people hear the term misfire, they think of worn out spark plugs. … Air and fuel delivery problems. … Emissions equipment problems. … Engine mechanical problems. … Sensor and module problems. … Control circuit problems.

Can a misfire ruin an engine?

A misfiring cylinder can cause a proportional loss of power. For example, if one cylinder misfires in a four cylinder engine, the car will lose 25 percent of its power. … Damaged, worn, or bad spark plugs, or a weak ignition coil can cause a loss of spark, and therefore, a misfiring cylinder.

How long can you drive with a misfire?

Can you drive a car with a misfire?

Strictly speaking it is not safe to drive your car if the engine is misfiring. If you notice the intermittent loss of power or poor acceleration, you should get to a mechanic as soon as possible. … The longer you drive with a misfiring engine the more likely it is that you’ll cause further damage to the engine.


September 2020: History as a Source Pt 1

There are many advantages to using a history as a basis for a narrative. History is a vast and ready-made store of cultural practises, personalities, events, and social phenomena. Indeed, the fact that history is made up of narratives and ready-made stories is in the very composition of the word. In many cases, it is almost harder to avoid relying on history – either directly or in the form of historically inspired tropes – than to do otherwise. Indeed, the foundations of many genres of fiction rely heavily on the historical context which either inspired them, or gave birth to them – be it the European high middle ages for conventional high fantasy, the age of sail and the 19th century heyday of colonialist adventure for space opera, or the social dynamics of Regency-era landed gentry for romance and the comedy of manners.

I think there’s a pretty obvious reason for this. One of the main tasks of putting together a “good” narrative is in creating a story which maintains the audience’s suspension of disbelief. If the creator cannot convince the audience that the story they are telling is founded on a consistent logic which fits the characters and the setting, then it becomes incredibly difficult for that audience to invest themselves in that story. What a historical or historically-inspired setting offers is a certain guarantee in that regard, a promise, or at least an implication, of verisimilitude. These things actually happened in the past, so the argument goes. If they actually happened, then clearly, the sequence of events being presented must in some way possess an internal logic. If a story claims – implicitly or explicitly – to be at least partially based on events which actually occurred, on people who actually lived, and societies which actually existed, then it becomes a lot easier to convince the audience that those events, people, and societies can exist in a fictional narrative as well.

This advantage, however, comes with a heavy responsibility. The implication of verisimilitude is a sword that cuts both ways. Just as an audience will assume that a work set in, or clearly inspired by history will be set to a certain standard of authenticity, they can also internalise the idea that the fictional portrayal of that historical source is a faithful interpretation of what that history is. Although most people are perfectly capable of telling the difference between reality and fiction when they are consciously making an effort to do so, this sort of intentional discernment requires a certain understanding that the information they are ingesting is, indeed, fictional. When a creator makes a narrative which relies on the assumption of historical verisimilitude, they are asking their audience to have faith that the history which their narrative is based on is being represented authentically and honestly – and short of actually committing the time and effort and money to acquire the tools to study that historical source for themselves at an academic level, they have no reliable means of being able to tell a story based on authentic history, and one based on a distorted or misleading view of it.

The problem this poses is one that goes beyond the art of worldbuilding and storytelling, and it has ramifications beyond that of making a story “better” or “worse”. If an audience assumes that a narrative inspired by or set during historical phenomena portrays those phenomena faithfully, then the interpretation of the events in question will contribute to the audience’s understanding of that phenomena. A good interpretation can overturn popular misconceptions and generate interest in commonly ignored fields of study. A bad interpretation can reinforce pseudo-historical myths, encourage misconceptions, and even cause negative ramifications in wider society.

There is a pretty simple reason for this: the decisions humans make for the present and the future are based on their knowledge of the past. For a lot of everyday decisions, this is based on personal experience: people will prefer to eat the food they enjoyed before, they’ll associate with the people they’ve had previous positive experiences with, they’ll avoid things which have hurt them in the past. When there is no personal experience to draw on, people will draw on the personal experiences of others, as interpreted by history. When a person needs to understand the world and make decisions which may affect it, their decisions are informed by their understanding of history. Their interactions with people they’ve never personally met before, what causes they support or oppose, how they see groups which they have never met or places they’ve never visited, all of that is based on how well they understand that group or place’s history. A distorted understanding of history causes a distorted understanding of the world, which can lead to the making of unwise decisions, the support of unworthy causes, or even the fostering of unwarranted hatred.

This isn’t a mere theoretical argument – the ways in which influential pieces of media have distorted our own society are clear enough if you know where to look: Birth of a Nation‘s malicious misinterpretation of the aftermath of the American Civil War led to a new wave of racist violence at the hands of a rejuvenated Ku Klux Klan adhering to that narrative’s pseudo-history. Media interpretations of the Roman Empire as far more racially homogenous and more heteronormative than it was in reality have underpinned modern political arguments against immigration and multiculturalism. The perception of the European Middle Ages as racially homogenous, dominated by absolute monarchies; and entirely bereft of the influence of commoners, women, and overseas cultural and economic exchange has been a legacy of the popularisation of high fantasy settings which transparently take their aesthetic inspiration from a surface-level understanding of the high medieval period – a legacy which continues to lead to a streak of ethnonationalism and reactionarism within the genre and its audience today.

So how do we avoid this for our own works? It’d be easy for me to say that the key is something as simple as doing your research and reading your sources carefully, but that wouldn’t really be the case. After all, in a lot of cases, the creators of works inspired by or set in misinterpreted historical settings are ones who have done a great deal of reading on the topic. Indeed, most creators who consciously base their settings on historical source material are already enthusiastic consumers of literature and media regarding that same setting. Yet even this may not be enough to keep a creator from creating works based on a distorted idea of what actually happened.

That’s because the idea of history as a discipline for evaluating past decisions and phenomena is actually a very recent one, especially outside of academia. The more traditional definition of history – the one which is still taught in compulsory education – is more intended to exist as a form of national storytelling, a codified way of passing down a curated narrative of how a given society got to where they are. Primarily, this was a means to build a certain level of civic or ethnic pride, to hold up one’s ancestors and predecessors as heroic figures, whose traditions and achievements are worthy of respect and emulation. This often manifested in two forms: the elevation of “great men”, and the marginalisation or erasure of any historical context which might inconvenience a nationalist narrative.

Great Man Theory is born from a human desire to have heroes to root for and villains to hate. As the traditional understanding of history saw it as a means of cultural myth-making first and a means of informing decision making second, this meant that traditional historical narratives have focused more on prominent individuals rather than the societies and institutions which shaped and created them: thus, we learn that Wellington beat Napoleon at Waterloo, that Qin Shi Huang united China, that Hitler perpetrated the Holocaust. Of the millions of individuals who taught these larger-than-life figures, assisted them in their ambitions, and did the dirty work of carrying out their crimes, the traditional understanding of history cares very little: they are characters in the story, but not the protagonists, so to speak. By minimising the all-important context that surrounded them and shaped them, Great Man theory gives the impression that history itself was shaped by a very small number of remarkable individuals.

This ties into the second form, the idea that history should be a story of a given culture or nation’s past, told in a way which holds up the nation and the “Great Men” who are seen as having been instrumental in its development as worthy of respect, if not reverence. In addition, this tendency further narrows down exactly who the protagonists of a given historical narrative can be: only those who stand out as champions of the nation can be given pride of place. Those who serve as useful heroes for the story of a nation or society are elevated. Those who do not fit in on how a nation wishes to see itself are ignored, or intentionally erased. American textbooks do not like talking about the Tulsa Massacre or the Freedmen who joined the British in the War of 1812, just as British Textbooks do not like talking about the Bengal Famine, just as Japanese textbooks do not like talking about the Rape of Nanjing or the Bombings of Chongqing or the Manilla Massacre.

What this means is that the “history” that results from these still-entrenched tendencies tend to be heavily biased, and either consciously or unconsciously designed to glorify or justify the roles of those who are considered to fit the self-perceived narrative of a dominant cultural group in any given society. They may well be true, in the sense that they recount things that actually happened. However, the way which they erase some aspects of history and edify others means that the picture they paint will necessarily lack the necessary context to provide a full picture. Thus, even those creators who’ve “done their research” can still be working from a false, or distorted foundation.

I’ve talked a lot so far about how important it is to get a good understanding of the history you mean to use, and how even well-intentioned attempts to get the history right can lead a creator astray thanks to the biases inherent in the teaching of history. In the second part of this topic, I’ll finally be talking about some ways to avoid those pitfalls.

New Moon | What’s Up China

By He Jing, Wang Fengjuan

On May 21, 2018, a Long March 4C rocket launched
from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Liangshan,
Sichuan Province, successfully lifted the Queqiao relay
satellite for the Chang’e-4 lunar mission to preset orbit.
Here, technicians mount the relay satellite onto the
rocket before launch.

On January 29 and 30, 2019, the Chang’e-4 lander and the Yutu-2 rover reawakened after withstanding a test of temperatures as low as negative 190 degrees Celsius during the first lunar night they spent on the far side of the moon, which lasted two weeks (a singular lunar day lasts an equivalent of 28 Earth days). This was the first time that humans obtained first-hand data on the temperatures of lunar night.

On the afternoon of January 11, the lander and the rover maintained stable operation and took pictures of each other with the assistance of the Queqiao (Magpie Bridge) relay satellite. Clear images taken by the lander and the rover were transmitted back to Earth, scientific payloads operated well, detection data was downloaded effectively, and relevant scientific experiments proceeded well. All of these indicate that the Chang’e-4 lunar mission achieved its preset goals.

On November 2, 2014, the return capsule of the
Chang’e-5 T1 spacecraft touches down at the designated
landing area in Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region, marking the success of the
re-entry flight test of the third phase of China’s lunar
exploration program.

Sticking the Landing

Is it hard for a probe to land on the far side of the moon? It’s every bit as difficult as one might imagine.

Blocked communications and huge temperature differences between lunar days and lunar nights were major obstacles impeding a soft landing on the far side of the moon. China’s Chang’e-4 probe chose to land on the moon’s far side, not only because it was untouched land for mankind but also due to its importance for scientific research. “We can compile a complete history of the moon’s evolution if we can determine what changes the celestial body went through four billion years ago based on analysis of the evolution of both its near side and far side,” explained Ouyang Ziyuan, first chief scientist of China’s lunar exploration program and an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). “This can only be achieved through scientific experiments on the far side of the moon.”

The soft landing of the Chang’e-4 probe on the far side of the moon marked a first in human history of lunar exploration. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine expressed congratulations to China’s Chang’e-4 team and called the unprecedented landing an “impressive accomplishment.”

So, just how difficult was the landing? “The far side of the moon is scattered with high mountains and impact craters, making wide flat zones difficult to find,” explained Su Zezhou, chief designer of the Chang’e-4 at the China Academy of Space Technology. “This presented very high requirements for the accuracy of the soft landing on the moon’s far side.” To achieve a highaccuracy soft landing, the probe needed to find a comparatively safe landing point on the rugged lunar surface while maintaining precise control throughout the 450-kilometer descent with its advanced navigation and remote systems. In fact, this was the key to the soft landing of the Chang’e-4.

The Chang’e-4 probe landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon. With a diameter of 2,500 kilometers and a depth of 12 kilometers, the basin is the largest and deepest of its kind on a solid celestial body in the solar system. With 90 percent of its area located on the far side of the moon, the basin boasts high value for scientific research. “Never before has anyone conducted close-up examination of the Aitken Basin,” remarked Zou Yongliao, director of the General Office of China Lunar and Deep Space Exploration of CAS. “We expect many new findings. Moreover, rocks on the lunar surface are older. It will be very helpful for us to understand the evolution of chemical elements on the moon if we can obtain data on the material components of older rocks.”

Scientists are particularly interested in the unique electromagnetic environment and geological features of the moon’s far side, which make it an ideal place to conduct low-frequency radio astronomical observations and scientific research on material components of the moon. “Due to the shielding effect, low-frequency radio observation is impossible on Earth,” declared Zou. “The magnetic environment on the far side of the moon is very clean. Carrying out low-frequency radio astronomical observations on the moon’s far side has been a dream for astronomers for a long time because such low-frequency radio astronomical observation is impossible on Earth.”

First Leaves on the Moon

To expand international exchange and cooperation and enhance openness and sharing, Chang’e-4 carried four international payloads and undertook three scientific and technological tests devised by domestic universities. Six living things—cotton, rapeseed, potato, thale cress, yeast and fruit flies— became the “passengers” on the lunar probe.

growth on the lunar surface.

On January 15, Chongqing University announced that of the six biological samples aboard Chang’e-4, the green shoots of cotton had sprouted in a sealed can there.

“This was the first biological experiment conducted by humans on the surface of the moon,” said Professor Xie Gengxin, dean of the Institute of Advanced Technology at Chongqing University and chief designer of the biological experiment. “We successfully made the cotton seeds sprout tender shoots on barren land on the moon, which eventually grew the first green leaves on the moon. This provides foundation and experience for one day building a moon base.”

comparison experiment on Earth.

Alongside a minimum goal of sprouting seeds and maturing larva on the surface of the moon, the biological experiment also aimed to lay groundwork for future long-term space biological research. Considering the extremely harsh conditions on the moon including low gravity, strong radiation and drastic temperature changes, animals and plants chosen for the lunar biological experiment had to be tolerant of high temperatures, cold, radiation and disturbances.

“The six living things eventually traveling to the moon were chosen after hundreds of careful selections and numerous biological tests,” illustrated Professor Liu Hanlong, chief director of the biological experiment and vice president of Chongqing University. “From the moment we were committed to the task of selecting species for the experiment and sealing the biological payloads, our research team spent two years trekking areas including deep mountains in Yunnan Province and vast deserts of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in search of species that could survive in extreme conditions.”

To further enhance the biological payloads’ value for scientific research and science popularization, the research team carried out an Earthmoon comparison experiment at Chongqing University. “Both cotton and rapeseed sprout tender green shoots in sealed cans on Earth, and the cotton, rapeseed and potato also sprout in an open environment.”

Cooperation for Endless Exploration

Wang Wei, an academician with CAS and director of the Research and Development Department of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, announced at the first China Aerospace Conference that the Chang’e-5 lunar probe will be launched in 2019 and complete a lunar sample returning mission, the final step of China’s three-step lunar exploration program.

However, the Chang’e-5 mission will not mark the end of China’s lunar exploration. According to the China National Space Administration, three subsequent missions, Chang’e-6, Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8, will be launched. Those missions are expected to carry out sample returning, comprehensive detection and other experiments at the moon’s South Pole. Moreover, Chinese scientists will also research the feasibility of building a research base on the moon.

So far, no country has ever built a moon base. As early as 2004, then-U.S. President George W. Bush announced a new plan for space exploration including landing on Mars, returning to the moon and building a permanent moon base. The United States has still yet to achieve its goal of building a moon base. Over the decades, the EU, Japan and Russia also unveiled plans to construct moon bases, all of which haven’t seen any substantial progress.

Chang’e-4 carried payloads developed by Germany and Sweden, making it a successful case for international cooperation in lunar exploration. According to Zhang He, executive director of the Chang’e-4 probe project, China has always advocated international collaboration in space exploration. Led by China’s State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence, scientific payloads on Chang’e-4 were collected globally. “This international cooperation enabled Chinese scientists to deepen exchange and promote technological advancement with their German and Swedish counterparts,” said Zhang. “They are also willing to carry out more cooperation in deep space exploration, lunar exploration and other realms.”

The fourth phase of China’s lunar exploration program aims to build a scientific research station that could operate for a long time on the moon— probably near its polar regions. “We hope that other countries will also participate in the construction of the research station and relevant research missions,” added Zhang. “A cooperative project would give it maximal use and produce more research results. More international cooperation is expected in the future.”

After the Chang’e-4 mission, Chang’e-5 will be launched, which is the last step of the three-step lunar exploration project designed to “orbit, land and return samples from the moon.” The lander and rover of Chang’e-4 will stay on the moon forever, but Chang’e-5 will return to Earth and perform a lunar orbital docking after landing on the moon and collecting samples on its surface. Many new technologies are expected to be applied in the Chang’e-5 lunar probe.

How dos the dashboard calculate free space?

I have a 4TB My Cloud, firmware v04.04.02-105. I have 2 seagate drives (4TB, 5TB) connected to it via a 3.0 hub.

Here is what the dashboard says. It it counting ALL connected drives, or is it miscalculating…?

I think this is part of the code to get usage.
static protected $queries = array(
SUM(CASE category WHEN ‘1’ THEN IFNULL(size, 0) ELSE 0 END) AS video,
SUM(CASE category WHEN ‘2’ THEN IFNULL(size, 0) ELSE 0 END) AS music,

SUM(CASE category WHEN ‘4’ THEN IFNULL(size, 0) ELSE 0 END) AS other
FROM wdmc.db.Files WHERE isDeleted = 0 AND isSystem = 0”

The wdmc.db can be viewed using a sqlitebrowser on windows.

Thanks! I’ll try this… at first glance, though, it’s difficult to see how it finds 8TB free on a 4TB NAS, you know?

Apparently the My Cloud will include any external USB hard drive in its total storage space size (at least on the v4x My Cloud versions) when USB Content Availability is inabled (set to On) in the Dashboard > General section. Try turning off USB Content Availability and see if the total storage space drops back to the correct amount on the 4T My Cloud drive.

depends of what you have configured. My wdmycloud is adding free space of al connected external hds and it self. under settings general USB Content Availability turn it on or off.

I ran those selects on my system and the results don’t match with the dashboard.

The output of the script shows 4.7 GB Videos ,11MB of Music, 3.8GB of Photos and 60GB of other. But the dashboard shows only other.

About this project

Valuable grains R&D output is currently locked away into project reports, communications and scientific publications. This text-based information is not easily discoverable and synthesised. Thus growers are not able to put into practice these valuable insights.

AgAsk is a conversational agent that will provide personalised access to this valuable information leading directly to better, data-driven growing decisions. Through ML driven question-answering systems, AgAsk will elicit and understand growers information needs and preferences, providing contextualised access to insights in Ag RD&E. This will allow valuable GRDCs research, along with other relevant resources, to flow directly to growers something not possible at large scale with current practices. AgAsk will also collect and analyse insightful information about growers, their pressing needs and what they access, giving insights into growers learning preferences and needs, uptake of specific GRDC resources, decision drivers and barriers to adoption.

AgAsk uses state-of-the-art ML technology to interpret natural language questions. GRDC resources will be mined from textual information and converted into a knowledge graph capturing key agricultural concepts and relations (e.g. protozoa –effective_for–> control of pest molluscs AgAsk will use this knowledge graph to formulate contextualised and interpretable answers to a growers question, e.g. how to deal with slugs in Darling Downs wheat crop

AgAsk can be deployed in the field, readily available across the wide growers sector. Growers will be included from the beginning of this project in grower-gatherings consultation workshops to collect real-world needs, through to user acceptance testing of the system.

This project will deliver a prototype system that can be taken to the App-Store in partnership with GRDC and key influencers such as farming systems groups and other grower groups, farm advisers and agribusiness stakeholders.

Question: How Does The Body Recycle Amino Acids?

How are amino acids recycled?

Lysosomes in human cells recycle amino acid building blocks by capturing and breaking down malfunctioning proteins..

Are amino acids used for energy?

Amino acids can also be used as a source of energy by the body. Amino acids are classified into three groups: Essential amino acids.

How many different amino acids do humans need to sustain life?

Nine amino acids—histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine—are not synthesized by mammals and are therefore dietarily essential or indispensable nutrients. These are commonly called the essential amino acids.

Why do amino acids give you energy?

When you’re physically active, your muscles use up amino acids – particularly a kind called “branched-chain amino acids,” or BCAAs. … In a nutshell, making sure your body has enough BCAAs to get you through your workout will help fight fatigue-causing serotonin and improve your overall energy levels.

What vitamin is involved in amino acid metabolism?

Vitamin B-6, in the form of pyridoxal 5- phosphate, is the coenzyme required by many of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids (Fig. 1).

Can our bodies reuse amino acids?

Our bodies recycle proteins, the fundamental building blocks that enable cell growth and development. Proteins are made up of a chain of amino acids, and scientists have known since the 1980s that first one in the chain determines the lifetime of a protein.

Why is it important to recycle amino acids?

These eight amino acids that we must get in our diet are called essential amino acids. Although our body can recycle the essential amino acids, it cannot produce them. … Once absorbed, these amino acids become the raw materials from which our body can synthesize the many proteins that serve so many vital functions.

What are the disorders of amino acid metabolism?

One group of these disorders is amino acid metabolism disorders. They include phenylketonuria (PKU) and maple syrup urine disease. Amino acids are “building blocks” that join together to form proteins. If you have one of these disorders, your body may have trouble breaking down certain amino acids.

How are amino acids metabolized in the body?

The catabolism of amino acids, except those with branched chains, starts in the liver. The amine group is separated and incorporated into urea. The carbon skeletons can be oxidized to CO2 and H2O or used for gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis. The liver is very efficient in the removal of ammonia.

Where do we get our amino acids?

People must obtain nine of these amino acids, called the essential amino acids, through food. Good dietary sources include meat, eggs, tofu, soy, buckwheat, quinoa, and dairy. Amino acids are compounds that combine to make proteins.

What amino acids can be used as fuel for the body?

Three of the essential amino acids noted above — leucine, isoleucine and valine — are unique in the way they are synthesized and used in the body. Known collectively as branched-chain amino acids, this trio helps produce energy within muscle tissue that is even more efficient than glucose (typical muscular fuel).

What happens to amino acids in the liver?

The liver also plays an important role in the metabolism of proteins: liver cells change amino acids in foods so that they can be used to produce energy, or make carbohydrates or fats. A toxic substance called ammonia is a by-product of this process.

Does the body naturally produce protein?

There are nine essential amino acids that the human body does not synthesize, so they must come from the diet. Proteins may be either complete or incomplete. Complete proteins are proteins that contain all essential amino acids. Animal products, soy, and quinoa are complete proteins.

What happens to excess amino acids?

When in excess, the amino acids are processed and stored as glucose or ketones. The nitrogen waste that is liberated in this process is converted to urea in the urea acid cycle and eliminated in the urine. In times of starvation, amino acids can be used as an energy source and processed through the Krebs cycle.


Solving the Challenges

Beyond solving crimes, surveillance video can serve as client’s protection against liability

Security managers, CSOs and other personnel tasked with mitigating risk at an organization are the first link in a long and vitally important chain. Starting at the surveillance camera and running all the way through to a criminal conviction or acquittal, this chain can be considered critical infrastructure for keeping all individuals safer and more secure.

As a security professional, you choose to purchase and deploy solutions and products based on their ability to solve the problems that are specific to your organization. You need to be able to discover unfolding incidents, alert personnel to problems and identify individuals involved in criminal actions, among other things. Still, your responsibility as the first link in that important chain goes further.

Securing a Conviction

In order to ensure that the information generated by cameras, readers and other devices can be used by law enforcement to get that conviction, it must be usable and admissible as evidence in a criminal trial. For that to happen, there must be a verifiable chain of custody that goes from your camera all the way through to the presentation of evidence. For electronic security devices, the chain of custody is dependent on data.

Today’s security systems create a wealth of information that is fundamental to identifying and convicting criminals so that the threat they represent is mitigated. For surveillance cameras, this information includes both the video itself and its associated metadata.

Beyond solving crimes, your surveillance video and metadata can also be a vital piece of information when it comes to liability – both your organization’s and your own – in civil lawsuits.

Surveillance metadata contains a wide variety of information relating to the video itself. This may include time and date stamps, location, and any analytics content such as a license plate identified by LPR technology or the identity of an individual verified by facial recognition software. While the video itself is crucial to understanding the unfolding of events in perspective, the metadata is equally important for the critical intelligence it delivers to law enforcement – including its ability to verify a chain of custody.

Video information is extremely important as it often provides some of the strongest evidence available to help identify, arrest, indict and convict. There have been many cases over the past years which have turned on surveillance or other video footage. In some situations, the video cements the prosecution’s case, while in others it provides the evidence needed to exonerate an innocent person. Either way, it has become one of the most important avenues of investigation for the visual confirmation it provides.

When surveillance video is used as evidence in a criminal or civil proceeding, it is not enough to simply play the footage for the court. While the video itself may be highly informative and compelling, on its own it may not be considered acceptable as evidence. For it to be useful, like all evidence there must be a demonstrable chain of custody for surveillance video.

Chain of custody is a term of art which refers to the verifiable and documented handling of evidence. Every piece of evidence in a crime is subject to tampering, altering or falsifying in some way. Every Step of the Way

To ensure proper chain-of-custody protocol is followed, law enforcement officers are responsible for maintaining and documenting evidence at every step of an investigation. They must be able to show who collected, handled, transferred, or analyzed each piece of evidence, beginning at the crime scene itself.

The following example will illustrate the importance of this. In 2018, the Supreme Court of South Carolina overturned an earlier conviction and sentence on a charge of trafficking crack cocaine. After the suspect was stopped by two police cruisers for speeding, cocaine was discovered in a bag inside his vehicle. During the criminal trial, defense counsel was able to show that the chain of custody of the cocaine had been disrupted, and there was not a clear possession between its discovery and its placement in the police department’s evidence locker.

After the state failed to provide a complete chain of custody of the evidence, the Court ruled that the evidence was inadmissible. The perpetrator, who had originally been convicted in 2015, walked out of prison.

In any criminal case, a vigilant defense attorney will make chain of custody a central point of their defense if they can establish any doubt or weakness in the chronology or authenticity of evidence. For this reason, it is important to make sure that any security products or solutions you deploy offer the kinds of verifications needed to help confirm the veracity of the data they provide.

For surveillance video, this means that any video taken on-site at the scene of an incident must be verifiably authentic for it to be considered acceptable as evidence. This is particularly relevant for right now, as bleeding-edge technology has enabled the astonishingly realistic counterfeits known as deepfakes.

Deepfakes are videos that replace the face of one person with another using artificial neural networks. Using this technology, it is possible to make any individual appear to be saying anything at all; for example, a CEO could be shown making racist or explicit comments. With this new threat, chain of custody becomes even more of a critical issue for surveillance video.

The best video surveillance solutions ensure that all video and audio captured during an event are protected and securely stored, creating evidence files that are easily managed and validated. This should be equally true for the metadata contained within the video, which as noted can be a highly significant element of the evidence needed for court. The chain of custody should be automatically logged by the system, making it easy and fast to comply with any requested audits and documentation.

A Complex Function

In order to demonstrate that the files have not been tampered with, it is ideal to have the video stored in a proprietary and encrypted format. Hashing, a complex function used to defeat hacking, is another strong protection for stored video. When a specific piece of video is needed, you should be able to pull an unencrypted copy, redacted as needed, without affecting the integrity and authentication of the original. Each required redaction and edit should happen on a separate tracked file, so that it is possible to trace all changes.

Most organizations are now moving towards some type of combination of local and cloud storage rather than keeping all video on local servers. Cloud storage delivers both cost and time savings and makes it more convenient to retain video for much longer periods of time.

This is essential as it may be years between the time when an incident takes place and the need for specific evidence in an arrest or trial. In order to best retain video, it makes sense to use a hybrid solution that automates storage and archiving while preserving all verification of evidence.

Ultimately, the accountability for risk mitigation at any organization falls to the security department, IT and the C-suite. All three are similarly potential targets for personal liability in the case of any criminal activity. This considerable responsibility includes being tasked with the ability to maintain video evidence that is impeccable and unimpeachable.

By choosing a video surveillance solution that enables spotless storage, archiving and transferring, you can minimize any potential chain of custody issues that could invalidate the video as evidence. It’s the most responsible way to manage video documentation across your entire organization.

Time and health are two of our most valuable commodities, and yet, they are the ones that many of us find we are in short supply of. Time (or the lack there of) is one of the top reasons we start to abandon our commitment to fitness around this time every year.

We put so much time and effort to nurture our families, our friends, and our career – but never stop to take the time for ourselves.

For example, you wouldn’t hesitate to stay 20 minutes late after work to meet a deadline. You would be happy to take a 20-minute coffee break for a friend in need. But you continue to make excuses as to why you can’t take just 20 minutes a day for yourself. But if you don’t, all those whom you take care of now, might soon be taking care of you.

If you haven’t been able to settle in to a regular workout routine because you simply don’t have the TIME – guess what? Twenty minutes is less than 2% of your day, but still plenty of time for a workout.

But you might be thinking, “that’s not enough time to get a good workout in”. Don’t worry – we have just the solution for you.

The PowerWave™ was created to provide all fitness levels with a comprehensive and adaptable training device that can be used ANYWHERE!
