The best way to get back on track after a cheat day

admin

1. Avoid boosting insulin for most of the day
First, what is insulin: Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows your body to use the sugar (glucose) from the carbohydrates in the food you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use.

(In detail) Insulin transports calories that are not burned by activity to be stored as body fat. As such, you should avoid consuming foods that encourage insulin release when you don’t need that fuel to fuel your workouts or provide nutrients to rebuild muscle tissue and speed recovery.

Let’s take a few steps: Avoid sugar, fruit juices, and processed foods like bread and pasta most of the time, especially when burning body fat is your goal. These foods increase insulin, dull metabolism and make fat loss difficult.

The only thing you can do to avoid insulin spikes is encourage them at the time of your workouts. Because insulin is a driver of the calories you consume, it will deliver these nutrients to muscle tissue when you’re training. In effect, it will provide your muscles with additional energy and provide the raw materials to support muscle repair and growth when you consume protein.

Tip: You can have a small amount of natural sugar, but keep it to 20-25 grams of total carbs post-workout. You should also avoid fats and fiber before and after your workout, as they will slow down the absorption of the nutrients your muscles are thirsty for. Your protein should be taken immediately after your workout. Approximately 45-60 minutes later, we suggest eating carbohydrates such as rice cakes.

2. Try intermittent fasting (the best way to lose belly fat)
It is less useful for people looking to add muscle mass, and especially those who already have a fast metabolism.

There are many different ways to do intermittent fasting (don’t panic), consume all your calories within a few hours each day and avoid high-calorie foods for the rest of the day. This window can be quite long, like up to 12 hours, or rather short, like about six hours, depending on how your body feels with limited calorie intake.

Choose a time that works best for you, but make sure you don’t break your fast with foods that increase insulin. Start with slow-digesting protein sources, high-fiber foods, or those that are moderate in dietary fat.

You should do a weight training session at your meal window, so you can perform well during your weight training and recover afterwards. And finally, after working out, she has a high-protein snack, like casein shakes, about two hours before she jumps into bed to sleep.

The four fundamentals of golf

admin

Every time you learn something new, you start with the basics. They are the basics that not only get you started, but are the foundation upon which every aspect of that new skill is built. They are fundamental because all skilled practitioners do them, and when things go well, you correct yourself by going back to fundamentals. In fact, to be as skillful as possible, never let them.

Golf has four fundamentals. They are a calm mind, the setting, the tempo and rhythm, and the impact.

The mind leads the body. When the mind is calm, it will make good decisions and the body will be able to perform the skills it has been trained to do. Good preparation easily leads the body into a good swing. A bad setup makes a good shot a matter of luck. Tempo and rhythm ensure that all parts of the swing occur in the correct order and at the correct time. To hit the ball straight, the clubface must meet the ball traveling directly toward the target with the clubface square in that path.

A Calm Mind. When we play golf, we must replace thinking, which is subject to the dictates of our emotional condition, with a state of psychophysical union, a unification of mind and body, that allows us to apply what we have learned regardless of environmental stresses.

The application of the psychophysical union to golf is twofold: when planning the shot that we are about to execute and when executing it. The application is the same for every stroke, from the putt, chip, iron and drive.

You plan a shot by calming your mind and letting the solution come to you. That way, he’ll hit shots within his ability, and they’ll be shots that work. Makes golf very easy.

When it comes time to shoot, the knowledge of the mind also lodges in the body. Your body becomes a physical expression of your mind, not taking orders from the mind, but the manifested mind.

Develop a calm mind away from the golf course. Regardless of what others say or do, or what happens to you, remain calm and receive it positively. There is something good that can come out of any situation. Get used to looking for it. Being at peace on the golf course cannot happen unless you are at peace with your life.

Startup. Settings vary by club and shot. The one common element in every setup, regardless of the shot, is to calm your mind first. The state of your mind is as important as the position of your body. This is the most positive golf habit you can develop to play better.

Other common principles are to have a good grip so that the hands work as a unit. Good posture is essential. Keep your back straight, lean forward from the hips, keep your weight forward, let your arms hang naturally. Align your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders with your target. Hold the stick gently, don’t squeeze it. You can apply these attributes to every shot, from the chip to the putt.

Time and Rhythm. Tempo measures the absolute speed of a golf swing. Rhythm describes the relative duration of its parts. Every good golfer moves the club with the same rhythm. The movement from address to the top of the backswing takes two counts, and from there back to impact takes one count. This fact has been known for a long time. The tempo, however, is a personal matter. Some golfers swing faster, in general, than others.

To find the right tempo and rhythm for you, get a metronome and set it to 126. Count the ticks and time your swing so you start on the first tick, reach the top of the backswing on the third tick, and hit. the ball on the fourth tick.

You may find that the metronome setting is too slow. If so, move it to 132 and try again. Continue until you reach the point where you can no longer control your swing. Slow down the adjustments until you achieve clean, direct hits at the fastest tempo you can comfortably control.

Impact. Impact is the goal of golf. The entire swing is reduced to 1/500th of a second when the club and ball are in contact with each other. The clubface should be square, travel toward the target, and make contact with the ball in the center. That’s a tall order when the club is moving at 90 miles per hour or so, but that’s what a good shot requires.

Practice straight, line impacts by making small, slow swings, no more than a foot long, while your body is in the impact position. Gradually make your swings longer, but as the clubface comes through impact, make sure the clubface is square and moving toward a hypothetical target.

Keep lengthening your swing until you get to the point where your hands are hip-width on the backswing and keep going. Rocking back and forth as much with the club going through impact as it should. Be sure to square the club with your swing, not your hands.

Building these four fundamentals into your game will have more effect, faster, than any other practice you can do.

California Child Custody and Visitation Issues – General Information

admin

Child custody issues in California family law can arise through the commencement of dissolution of marriage (divorce) proceedings, legal separation, annulment, or paternity proceedings. Child custody issues can arise even if the parties are not legally separated, but live apart.

There are various classifications of child custody in the state of California such as; Sole legal and physical custody, primary legal and physical custody, shared legal and physical custody, and no right to custody.

In the case of married couples, the father or the mother have the same right to custody of the minor children of the marriage, before a court ruling is issued. If you are thinking about getting divorced, filing for divorce, legally separating, or living apart, it is very important to get court orders that articulate your child custody rights as soon as possible. Without court orders, a child who, say, lives with the mother (or father) could be legally taken by the other parent in the absence of court orders. If you have minor children from the marriage, it is important to file an order to show cause for child custody along with any petition for dissolution of marriage or legal separation paperwork, so you can obtain a court order that articulates your custody rights. of the children. .

The court primarily focuses on what is best for the child when determining who is entitled to what type of custody of a minor child of the marriage. Although it sounds simple, child custody and visitation issues under California law are quite complicated and should not be litigated without the help of an experienced attorney.
Formerly it was thought that children should be with their mother. Today, however, the court considers many factors in determining who gets what kind of custody of minor children. If you are a mother, you should not assume that you will automatically get custody of the children. If you are a father, you have an equal chance of getting primary custody of the children.

Entire law books have been written on the subject of child custody.

A new life

admin

A few days ago, I received a copy of my birth certificate in the mail. Nothing unusual, except that I am 57 years old and I had never seen it. Sometimes during packing and moving to bring a whole family to the new world, my birth certificate was lost.

When I read the address of the house where I was meant to live right after I was born, I thought of my parents and their bold decision to pack up their family and transport us to a whole new country called Canada. (In 1957, the distances were much greater than they are now; the world really has shrunk.)

I still remember the debates that raged in our young home back then. I remember Mom and Dad looking at a world atlas, flipping from Canada to Australia back and forth as arguments were pitched and shot down.

I know mom was worried about the heat. We all had relatives in Australia. The heat seemed to be the stumbling block. Dad, who served in Yemen during World War II and told a few stories about Aden and the weather, really wanted to go to Australia. However, mom prevailed and Canada became our destination.

Picture this. My dad worked on a dairy farm in England. Mom at that time did not work.
Back then, his salary came in little brown envelopes containing cash each week. But the sum Dad made was minuscule when he took on a family of five to feed, clothe and house. The chance to start over in a land of opportunity must have called to them like a siren on the rocks.

What amazes me is the willpower, determination and guts it took to make the decision to leave family and friends behind to fend for themselves in a strange land. No wonder as a kid I loved reading stories (I still do) of people taking on a new world (literally like in science fiction) or historically like the opening of the west, the famous Oregon Trail. The independent spirit of people who do such things resonates with me.

I grew up living with my own personal heroes, though as with all growing up, I didn’t always see them in the softer glow of hindsight.

Spending all they had to buy a ticket on an ocean liner, air travel was not a common method of travel in 1957, our worldly procession packed into a pair of steamer trunks, we headed for Liverpool by train. Our aunt, grandmother and grandfather traveled with us. More than a few tears were shed, though she couldn’t really understand why. I reveled in the thrill of the journey. I remember arriving in Liverpool and staring at the desolate terraced houses creeping ugly row after row, with clothes hanging on clotheslines looking as drab and worn as the city. I’m sure it’s not a fair summary of Liverpool, but that’s my memory.

From there there are flashes of memory. I remember standing on the deck just as the ship began to slide into its birth. I was confused by the physics of the movement and not sure if the platform would stay under my feet. I remember letting out a slow sigh of relief when I realized I didn’t have to walk to keep the platform below me. Just as I was relaxing, the ship’s horn blew, causing me to jump ten feet off the planks of wood.

Mom and my sisters got sick almost instantly from seasickness and spent much of the trip, back in the cabin. I didn’t miss a beat. I toured the ship almost unsupervised as Dad’s time seemed to be taken up with nursing. He gave me a quick tour and showed me how to find my way back to the cabin, which was on the waterline, and he left me alone. I had a great time.

On that trip I discovered corn on the cob, blueberry pie, and green peppers.

When we docked in Montreal, I left the ship with some sadness. We’d been through storms when no one was allowed on the upper deck and I’d seen icebergs slide silently past Bell Island Newfoundland, and I’d made friends with some of the crew. The brutal task of settling in lay ahead.

But I’m sure Mom left relieved, eager to have the family housed and restored under her command.

The train ride from Montreal to Guelph Ontario took us through the night and into the early morning hours of the next day. I didn’t sleep an eye. I sat with another lady and we eagerly read the names of the stations as we stopped at each place. In the dark, he couldn’t figure out what lay beyond the window, but when the sun came up, a whole new world came into focus. I remember my excitement looking at the endless fields and forests, rivers and lakes passing by the window. I remember the smell of the new world as it passed.

I didn’t give a thought to what my mom and dad might be imagining as we hurried off to our new lives. Mom had been up most of the night too. I don’t think either of them was tired.

Suddenly around ten in the morning, after all those stations along the way, it was our stop.

A whole new adventure began from the moment we stepped off the train.

Those were exciting times for me. I was old enough to understand and remember what was going on, but young enough not to have experienced uncertainty or fear of the unknown, or any of the other negative emotions or attitudes that we develop as we grow up. (That’s another history.)

Looking back, I had a great adventure, an experience that played a role in shaping who I am. But for mom and dad, I can’t imagine what emotions were stirring in their minds. All I know is that they joined the legions of brave souls who ventured into the unknown with nothing but faith, hope and the desire for a better life.

The skeptics these days seem to be winning the battle against the dreamers and adventurers of our world. For the jaded, cynical and bored attitude towards adventure and exploration that these people express, I have a question. What do you think our world would be like without the millions of heroes who left their homes to find new worlds? We are indebted to all of them.

Sometimes we look for a distant field for our heroes. Look right in front of you. Most likely, there is a hero standing there.

Our dad has beat us to it once again. However, my mom is still alive and she continues to demonstrate the independent spirit that brought our family here. Although she is now legally blind, she continues to lead an active and fulfilling life, not content to sit at home for fear of venturing out, which would be out of the question.

On the phone the other day, I asked her if this address meant anything to her: 45 St. George’s Drive, Victoria, SW 1.? After a pause, she said, “Yeah, we used to live there!”
“Where did you get that address?”

“On my birth certificate,” I replied.

Spreizter all business at tournament time

Putting the NFL at a disadvantage is a Sunday walk in the zoo along with the analysis of the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.

It’s more like a long weekend trip to an amusement park, complete with roller coaster peaks and valleys, a fun house, and plenty of thrill rides.

Of course, college basketball handicappers have plenty of time to study first-round games.

Seedings, pairings and lines are available on Sunday with the first game starting on Thursday morning.

Once the scores from those 32 matchups start rolling in (upsets are guaranteed), it’s the crucial moment.

‘The cappers have to analyze the 16 games on Saturday and Sunday, and do it quickly.

It’s kind of like the tax preparer on April 15.

Some sports analysts say they are up 24/7 for a couple of days, watching TV, studying stats, and emptying the coffee pot every hour.

Others, like ProCappers’ Scott Spreitzer, try to keep a more “sensible” schedule.

Sunday is “family day” for Spreizter, his wife Vickie and their daughter Sarah, against all odds, the NFL playoffs or March Madness.

However, he was in his office bright and early on Monday morning to start his marathon week of handicapped college (and pro) basketball, heading home and a night out with Vickie and Sarah around 5:30pm (PST). just as it was getting dark. in.

“It takes a long time to handicap in the first round,” Spreitzer said.

Scott will follow a similar schedule on Tuesday and Wednesday, then switch gears on Thursday.

“I’m usually awake from the time games start around 9 a.m. (PST) on Thursday until 2 a.m. on Friday morning,” Spreitzer said.

“I like to finish the second-round games on Saturday while his first-round performances on Thursday are fresh in my mind.”

Spreitzer signs UConn to dethrone national champion North Carolina and recapture the title he won in 2004.

The Huskies are putting up 22 points at Albany on Friday.

His dark horse is UCLA, which won the Pac 10 Tournament and saw its future sub from 1/25 to 12/1 in a single week.

The Bruins, a No. 2 seed, open against 20-point underdog Belmont on Thursday night.

“I’ve been promoting them since January, so I’m sticking with them,” Spreitzer said.

“If they make it to the Final Eight, they’ll probably have to face Kansas or Memphis.

“I think their excellent defensive play gives them a chance to get to the Final Four.”

Las Vegas Hilton tournament futures list the Huskies as 5/2 tournament options, with Duke at 4/1, Villanova at 7/1 and Memphis at 10/1.

They are the four No. 1 seeds for the event, with the Blue Devils earning the top seed overall.

Spreitzer’s support has Duke and UConn advancing to the Final Four, to be joined by the outside Bruins and 40/1 Boston College.

He links the Huskies and Bruins for the title game.

Beaches in Cabo – Not Swimmable?

admin

Beaches in Cabo

Before you consider going swimming in Cabo, be sure to research the region. According to the US Department of State, 4 of the 6 non-natural deaths in the area were caused by drowning. It is important to note that not all of the beaches in Cabo are swimmable, especially the ones on the Pacific coast. The area is also home to rough waves and a strong undertow. You should always wear water shoes to avoid getting stung and use rash guard lotions on children.

los cabos bcs

Despite these warnings, many beaches in Cabo are still not swimmable. Many are too rocky or sloping to allow for swimming, which makes it dangerous for young children. A better option is to visit beaches that are known for their clear water. Listed below are some beaches in Cabo that are swimmable. If you want to enjoy swimming, check out the Playa Hotelera, which is a sandy beach in San Jose del Cabo.

Playa Acapulquito is one of the best surfing beaches in Cabo and is perfect for intermediate surfers. For those who are new to surfing, this beach is perfect for beginners. Alternatively, you can take lessons in a local surf shop. Another beach worth visiting in Cabo is the Sea of Cortez beach, which is the convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. This area is known for its abundant wildlife, and snorkeling enthusiasts should go here for the opportunity to observe the creatures in their natural habitat.

Beaches in Cabo – Not Swimmable?

While the above listed beaches are usually swimmable, the conditions can change without warning, so be sure to check with your hotel before your trip. If you have any concerns about the water quality, you can check with local lifeguards. During your stay in Mexico, it is best to swim in the ocean. When it comes to the hotels in Cabo, it’s important to follow any rules in the area.

Although the waters on the Pacific Ocean are generally warmer and safer, the Pacific Ocean is notorious for strong currents, rip tides, and jellyfish. Although Divorce Beach is popular, it’s not a safe place to swim. Because the water is extremely rough, a lifeguard may be unavailable. In such a case, you can use a kayak and swim in the shallow water.

If you want to avoid the crowds on the Pacific shore, head to the Santa Maria Beach, a protected marine sanctuary. It’s a popular snorkeling spot, but you’ll need to bring your own food and dispose of garbage. Also, don’t forget to check the marine life – turtles and other sea creatures are abundant in the area. You’ll have to spend some time there to enjoy this wonderful beach in Cabo.

The beaches in Cabo are usually not swimmable in some parts. Those with surfers will probably be too busy to swim. But if you’re looking for a spot to catch waves, head to the nearby surf spots like La Roca or Zippers. In the summer months, these beaches can be packed with surfers. But there’s no lifeguard at these beaches, so it’s best to avoid them if you can’t swim on a hot day.

Las Vegas Buffets: From the Best Buffet to the Cheapest!

admin

Things are changing all the time. That’s why this April 2010, we’ve decided to review all you can eat places in this great city to list the best places you can go for real enjoyment or, if you’re on a budget, , where you can go to save money and fill your stomach with something decent!

So what are the best all-you-can-eats on the Strip?

Absolutely, without a doubt, the Bellagio is the best. Quality, service, quite a variety. There is not a dish here that you do not like. It’s not as huge as, say, Rio’s all you can eat, but it’s much better quality. You don’t need 500 low to mediocre dishes when you have 100 great ones (these numbers are there to prove it). The Bellagio’s atmosphere is one of casual elegance.

After the Bellagio, you’ll enjoy Wynn’s all you can eat. It’s expensive, no doubt, but it’s elegant and very good. We still think the Bellagio is better, but this is a great second! The way their breakfast is displayed, for example, is second to none. Sometimes the eyes also want their party!

The Mandalay Bay is also very good. Don’t be fooled by the absolutely beautiful Aria Buffet; your eyes will love the modern, airy, spacious, comfortable and beautiful atmosphere, but your taste buds won’t enjoy the food as much anywhere else.

The Harrah’s group now offers a 7 buffet 24 hour daily pass (more on that later) but you have been warned: what is offered in quantity is no longer offered in quality. All of their buffets have decreased in quality and that is very unfortunate.

On the Strip, the Monte Carlo and the Stratosphere offer the cheapest buffets that are actually still edible, though nothing to remember. Off the Strip, Palace Station offers by far the cheapest buffet.

Are you ready for the third wave?

admin

Market cycles tend to occur in waves, and technology companies have become an increasing part of recent market waves. Since about 1989, many technology companies have made their way into the top-ranked companies in terms of capitalization, earnings, and investment success. In the early days, it was just IBM and Microsoft. As Internet developments matured, success became much more widespread, with companies such as Bing, Amazon, and Yahoo joining. This was the First Wave, and it gave us the internet boom of the 1990s and those wild boom-and-bust investments in the tech sector.

The first wave was exciting: a time of wild speculation, but the innovations eventually caught up with consumers, in a very big way, and the profits started rolling in, also in a very big way. This paved the way for a second wave.

The iPhone was the catalyst and symbol of the second wave, as all technology companies strive to greatly improve their communication networks and the convenience of being constantly “in touch.” Great efforts are also being made to make information more convenient, more personal, and more manageable. Making sense of all the available data is a big challenge, as there has been a huge data wave recently. IBM estimates that 90% of the data in the world has been produced in the last 2 years, so how do we know what to read, what to believe, what to trust?

One part of the solution is to make data more personal, so that systems know about it and vice versa. Examples include:

  • NEST thermostats that learn when you’re home or away, and what temperature you’re comfortable with when you’re home
  • Music systems like SPOTIFY and PANDORA that learn your listening preferences and help you discover new music you’re likely to like
  • Travel planning websites that learn your travel adventure interests and motto specific travel plans just for you
  • GOOGLE Home and Amazon Alexa/Echo devices that personally interact with you and go out of their way to help you through your busy day

And then there are all those APPS that help us manage our day, like UBER, LYFT, the Weather Channel, or communicating with others through Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Everyone is trying to scale back and worry about everyday tasks, yet there is growing concern about the delivery, theft and mismanagement of so much of our personal information – advertisers, fraudsters and governments want more every day. day. When technology does its job well, users benefit because they spend less time managing tasks and tasks and more time doing the things they really love. As the second wave matures, innovations emerge that help and support us in decision-making, critical thinking (discernment of information) and time management. The second wave brings us a plethora of helpers that make our everyday lives easier with small, helpful touches.

So what about the next wave, the third wave? We are now seeing this wave begin to form. Each wave starts with an innovative catalyst, leading to more opportunities for innovation, speculation, and investment. There will be winners and losers along the way, but when the wave breaks, those with the best data and analysis will reap huge profits. A possible catalyst to start this Third Wave is Augmented Reality (AR), with innovations that could transcend the iPhone and all Smartphones, making them obsolete. AR is different from virtual reality (VR) in that AR overlays graphics and images on top of the real world around you, kind of like the Pokemon Go game that became very popular on smartphones a few years ago. AR is also the technology fighter pilots use for Heads-Up-Displays (HUDs) in the cockpit of their fighter jets. If you put advanced AR capability in a pair of glasses, with voice, gesture, or eye movement controls, then all of today’s smartphone capabilities can be achieved with a pair of glasses. Google glasses first appeared in 2013 and the project morphed into Google Glass Enterprise in 2017. Recently, a highly valued private company, Magic Leap, released an AR headset called Magic Leap One. These are first generation devices and still they have to achieve significant consumer adoption. Like waves one and two, the innovations of the third wave may sound like science fiction, but we always tend to underestimate the speed of progress and the depth of the amazing ideas and devices that are sure to change our lives.

Stay tuned!
