The Same Old Deal

Posted: 08 Feb 2019 03:30 AM PST

The Same Old DealRepresentative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was supposed to be the Democratic party's fresh new face — so why is the honorable lady from the Bronx trafficking in ideas from the 1930s? True to form, Representative Ocasio-Cortez calls for a series of ten-year plans aimed at putting the entirety of the U.S. economy under political discipline: The government will decide how goods are produced and how they will get to market, how automobiles and airplanes function, how agriculture is conducted.


Look at this colossal storm on Uranus

Posted: 08 Feb 2019 06:56 AM PST

Look at this colossal storm on UranusUranus, a huge gaseous world some 1.8 billion miles from the sun, is quite stormy. NASA's long-lived Hubble telescope spotted a notable storm churning inside the planet's blue-green atmosphere, and the space agency posted the image online Thursday. The entirety of Uranus' north pole is engulfed by a "vast bright stormy cloud cap," wrote NASA. "Scientists believe this new feature is a result of Uranus' unique rotation," added NASA, noting that, unlike the other planets in our solar system, Uranus is tipped on its side. This leaves the sun shining non-stop onto its north pole during its long summer, likely resulting in widespread atmospheric changes.  Uranus as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. Image: nasa Just beneath the massive polar storm is a smaller, compact white cloud made of the common gas methane, notes NASA. The space agency also spotted a new storm brewing on Neptune. It's the dark spot near the top of the planet and is somewhat mysterious, as these massive dark storms have been observed appearing and then vanishing relatively quickly. SEE ALSO: Trump fails to block NASA's carbon sleuth from going to space "The feature is the fourth and latest mysterious dark vortex captured by Hubble since 1993," said NASA. Neptune as seen in November 2018. Image: nasa NASA plans to continue monitoring weather on these frigid, far-off gas giants to better understand the extraterrestrial storms.  "Just as meteorologists cannot predict the weather on Earth by studying a few snapshots, astronomers cannot track atmospheric trends on solar system planets without regularly repeated observations," the space agency wrote. "Astronomers hope that Hubble's long-term monitoring of the outer planets will help them unravel the mysteries that still persist about these faraway worlds."

How to work out in your third trimester – like Meghan Markle

Posted: 08 Feb 2019 02:47 AM PST

How to work out in your third trimester – like Meghan MarklePregnancy is a time when you're told there's lots you can't do – but when it comes to exercise, you're advised to keep it up If you're someone who does regular exercise, then a little thing like being in the third trimester of your pregnancy, as the Duchess of Sussex is, isn't going to stop you. Not only can it be essential for your own mental and physical health, but studies show that it's good for the baby, too. We know that the Duchess previously had a punishing exercise regime including weekly six-mile runs, "Megaformer" Pilates sessions (a terrifying-looking machine that the former Ms Markle credited with "transforming" her body), vinyasa yoga and personal training sessions. Now she's in the Firm it's likely that she'll talk less about her workouts – but it's a fair guess that she hasn't given up exercise entirely now she's pregnant. In fact, she told a well-wisher in Australia that she had been up at 4.30am doing yoga. Like her, I continued to work out while I was pregnant with my daughter just over two years ago. I was even in the gym on my due date – well, what else was I going to do? Jessica Salter gets a workout in... on her due date Although science supported my decision to keep up exercising – the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) actually recommends that pregnant women aim for 20-30 minutes of "moderate intensity exercise, including running and weight training, most days of the week – I found finding classes that would let me exercise more of a challenge. Now, two years on, there's a myriad of pre-natal classes available, both in gyms and online. The message is clear: while pregnant women are often told what they can't do, actually, when it comes to exercise, there's a lot they can. Resistance training can help ease pregnancy discomforts, including fatigue, nausea and insomnia, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg; a separate study found that women who exercised were less likely to develop gestational diabetes; while pregnant women who exercise at a moderate intensity three times a week halved the risk of their babies being born with a high birth weight, according to scientists at the University of Granada. The old adage of resting for nine months is no longer the best option for most women. In fact, the ACOG say that even pregnant women who don't normally exercise would benefit from starting slowly on a gentle regime. But for those – like the Duchess – who are used to an endorphin-fuelled, sweat drenched work-out, what can you keep doing in your third trimester and how far can you push it? We ask four pre-natal personal trainers – three of whom are pregnant themselves – for advice. Weights "Pregnancy is not easy on the body and it is important that you stay strong to adapt to all the changes coming your way," Charlie Launder, founder of the pre and post natal PT specialists, Bumps & Burpees, says. "Not only will your bump grow, your centre of balance will change, your ligaments will soften and you will be carrying some extra pounds. "Using weights is a very effective way to increase your strength and make sure that your body is able to cope with all these changes and prevent the aches and pains that so often accompany pregnancy." She says that there are some things pregnant women – especially those in their third trimester – need to be aware of. "Always make sure to lift a weight that you can do 8-10 reps with comfortably, and check that you are performing each exercise with the correct form. There are adaptations that you will need to make as your bump grows to take the pressure off the abdominals and to make way for your growing bump so seek advice from a professional if you are unsure of these. Give yourself plenty of water breaks, and make sure you can keep up a conversation to check you are at the correct intensity." Launder's e-book has exercises that are safe for pre and post-natal women to follow (£14.99; bumpsandburpees.com) View this post on Instagram �� Dumbbell Quickie ���� . .

If you are heavily pregnant avoid these burpees but the rest of the circuit is great for you! ⚠️ . . thismumcan postnatalfitness homeworkout dumbbells strong mumswholift fullbody fitmum strongmums A post shared by Bumps & Burpees (@bumpsandburpees) on Jan 14, 2019 at 11:58am PST Yoga "Yoga in pregnancy strengthens parts of the body that you use to give birth as well as relieving common aches and pains," says Libby Stevenson, a MY:METHOD yoga teacher with a pre-natal specialism. She recommends Warrior I, II and malasana to open the hips, the mountain pose to maintain proper posture, and cat/cow or child's pose to help relieve lower back pain. Pregnant women should avoid inversions, including downward dog, she says. In addition, Stevenson says that yogic breathing and meditation can help women. "For many pregnant women, pregnancy can be a time of confusion and anxiety. The breathing practices in pregnancy yoga slow down and extend the exhalation, which switches off the autonomic nervous system – the fight flight freeze response – and switch on the parasympathetic nervous system – the rest and digest response. "These breathing techniques can be used while giving birth to reduce pain or at any time when you feel overwhelmed or stressed." Pilates Pilates is a great exercise to take up or continue while pregnant as it's low impact and safe for all trimesters. "Pilates focuses on posture, strength and flexibility, all areas that suffer, or adapt, during pregnancy," says Hollie Grant, founder of Pilates PT Method and 29 weeks pregnant herself. "As a pregnant woman's bump grows, her centre of gravity shifts massively, which can cause changes to the spine which can lead to back pain." Pilates works to stablise joints – for example hips – that have been affected by the hormone relaxin, released during pregnancy. It's also an option for those who suffer from Pelvic Girdle Pain. "Personally, I have found Pilates during pregnancy a lifesaver," she says. "It has meant I have stayed in touch with how my body feels, how it is changing, any aches or pains I have noticed and helped to make sure that my posture does not change excessively despite having a very big bump. The skills you learn in Pilates can be used during labour (such as the awareness and use of breath) and is perfectly safe if taught by a qualified pre/post-natal Pilates instructor."

It's amazing getting to meet new clients and hear their goals and values, but I also see how aggressive and confusing the collective wellness message can get at this time of year.

A post shared by Hollie Grant (@thepilatespt) on Jan 6, 2019 at 10:51pm PST HIIT High Intensity fitness is still trending in the fitness world, thanks to its fat-burning properties. Personal trainer Kelly Bedford, founder of Fitness Fox London, and 24 weeks pregnant herself, says that pregnant women can keep up their HIIT sessions during your third trimester, but cautions, "it may look a lot different from your pre-pregnancy interval sessions." She advises against high impact exercises, like jumps or burpees, and instead, using "compound strength moves using big muscle groups to increase the heart rate and get the blood pumping." Some exercises will need modification to allow for a large bump. "Press ups performed on an incline are more comfortable and put less downward pressure on the belly," she says. Bedford recommends supersets that alternate different body parts, for instance squats then incline press ups. She also says that you need to pay attention to your body and allow more rest, but, "I've loved keeping moving throughout though and plan to without albeit modifying as a go until the day I give birth."

Venezuela crisis: Desperate citizens 'selling hair on border' as thousands flee poverty-stricken country

Posted: 08 Feb 2019 01:19 AM PST

Venezuela crisis: Desperate citizens 'selling hair on border' as thousands flee poverty-stricken countryDesperate Venezuelans have reportedly been driven to sell their hair at the Colombian border as their troubled nation slips further into political crisis. Trucks carrying humanitarian aid arrived in the Colombian border city of Cucuta on Thursday after the country's embattled president, Nicolas Maduro, ordered his military to barricade a bridge between the two nations with a tanker and two containers. President Maduro, who denies a humanitarian crisis exists and has said Venezuela is not a nation of "beggars", rejected the aid convoy as a "political show".

Andromeda galaxy will deliver a 'glancing blow' to our Milky Way later than expected

Posted: 09 Feb 2019 07:51 AM PST

Andromeda galaxy will deliver a 'glancing blow' to our Milky Way later than expectedAstronomers have long suspected that the colossal Andromeda galaxy would, in billions years, collide with our humble Milky Way. The collision was forecast to happen in some 3.9 billion years. But after astronomers analyzed new data captured by the European Space Agency's star-surveying satellite Gaia, they now put the imminent date at 4.5 billion years — so 600 million years later than initially expected. The event, detailed in The Astrophysical Journal, is characterized as a "swipe" rather than a direct collision. The end result would be a merger of the galaxies into one, monstrous galaxy.  "This finding is crucial to our understanding of how galaxies evolve and interact,"  Timo Prusti, ESA Gaia Project Scientist who had no role in the study, said in a statement.  The Gaia satellite measured star motion in the Andromeda galaxy. Image: ESA/Gaia (star motions); NASA/Galex (background image); R. van der Marel, M. Fardal, J. Sahlmann (STScI) While of immense importance to our corner of the universe, this event will be of little importance to Earth: By then, our aging sun will have grown brighter and likely have boiled the oceans while burning away our protective atmosphere.  To arrive at their conclusions about the future galactic meeting, scientists observed how stars moved within two "nearby"  galaxies that are passing each other —  the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies  — to forecast how Andromeda will ultimately travel through intergalactic space. SEE ALSO: Pancakes in space? No that's just the mysterious MU69  "We combed through the Gaia data to identify thousands of individual stars in both galaxies, and studied how these stars moved within their galactic homes," said study coauthor Mark Fardal in a statement. "While Gaia primarily aims to study the Milky Way, it's powerful enough to spot especially massive and bright stars within nearby star-forming regions – even in galaxies beyond our own." Galactic trajectories. Image: E. Patel, G. Besla (University of Arizona), R. van der Marel (STScI) When Andromeda does eventually meet, or "swipe," the Milky Way, it doesn't mean chaos and destruction will ensue. "That event will be less dramatic than it sounds, however," noted The New Times cosmos reporter Dennis Overbye. "Because galaxies are mostly empty space, they will pass through each other like ghosts."  WATCH: Ever wonder how the universe might end?

The prestigious investment bank announced last week that it could withhold millions of dollars in bonuses to former Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and two other retired executives depending on the outcome of ongoing probes into the Malaysian fund. Beyond the bonuses, Goldman also said it could claw back compensation from current chief executive David Solomon and two other current senior executives, president John Waldron and chief financial officer Stephen Scherr.


Khashoggi murder: Pressure mounts on Saudi government and Trump four months after killing

Posted: 08 Feb 2019 09:27 AM PST

Khashoggi murder: Pressure mounts on Saudi government and Trump four months after killingPressure is mounting on Saudi authorities over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi and the case's aftermath this week as a deadline for action imposed on President Donald Trump by the US lawmakers last year passed without any response from the White House. A series of rapid-fire developments showed continuing outrage over the murder and dismemberment of The Washington Post columnist at the hands of Saudi spies and security officials dispatched to the Istanbul consulate more than four months ago. A deadline demanding a response on a US Global Magnitsky Act ruling calling for punishment of state human rights abuses came and went this week without a response from the White House on the culpability of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who has strong ties to Mr Trump and his family.

Virginia lieutenant governor denies second sexual assault allegation

Posted: 08 Feb 2019 03:44 PM PST

Virginia lieutenant governor denies second sexual assault allegationThe firm, New Jersey-based Smith Mullin, said Watson was "not seeking any financial damages," and said her attorneys had notified Fairfax through his lawyers "that Ms. Watson hopes he will resign from public office." The latest accusation deepened a political crisis in Virginia that began with the revelation last Friday that Northam's medical school yearbook page contained a racist photo, followed by admissions from Northam and the state's attorney general, Mark Herring, that each had darkened their faces to imitate black performers in separate incidents during the 1980s. Should all three men be forced to resign, Democrats would lose the governorship to the state's Republican speaker of the House of Delegates, who is third in the line of succession, after Fairfax and Herring.

Democrats float 'Green New Deal' to end fossil fuel era

Posted: 07 Feb 2019 06:40 PM PST

Democrats float 'Green New Deal' to end fossil fuel eraThe document, unveiled by rising political star Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Edward Markey, marks the first formal attempt by lawmakers to define potential legislation to create big government-led investments in clean energy and infrastructure to transition the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels. The plan, which takes the form of a non-binding congressional resolution, outlines some of the most aggressive climate goals ever put forward by Democratic lawmakers and clashes dramatically with the Trump administration's efforts to advance domestic oil, gas and coal production by rolling back environmental protections. The name, Green New Deal, references the New Deal of the 1930s that President Franklin Roosevelt implemented to aid Americans suffering in the Great Depression by embarking on huge government-led infrastructure projects.

IS overran large parts of the country and neighbouring Iraq in 2014, declaring a "caliphate" there, but various military offensives have reduced it to a fragment. Backed by air strikes of the US-led coalition against IS, the Kurdish-Arab alliance has in recent months cornered the jihadists in a final pocket of territory in Syria's eastern province of Deir Ezzor.
