Thursday, August 15, 2024 - Kamala Harris & Tim Walz

The Vice President and Governor Walz joined forces together today on the campaign trail. They were making their way through the state of North Carolina. The Governor of the state, Roy Cooper joined them on the campaign trail today. Today was a busy day with 4 campaign stops.

Event #1 (Raleigh, NC) Event Location: Steps of the North Carolina State Capitol Event Type: Call for Policy Change and Activism Event Time: 9:00 - 10:00 ET

Event #2 (Raleigh, NC) Event Location: North Carolina State University Event Type: Get Out the Vote Event Time: 11:00 - 13:00 ET

Event #4 (Charlotte, NC) Event Location: Bank of America Stadium Event Type: Campaign Rally Event Time: 19:00 - 22:00 ET

Raleigh, NC Full-text of speech from event #1 to be released shortly. The event on NCSU's campus was well received and numerous student clubs were present for the kick-off of the event.

Greensboro, NC Here are 2 questions that garnered a very positive response from the audience: Q: "In today's environment of racial and identity politics, do you feel that you were forced to pick a white man as your running mate?" A: "No, unequivocally. My decision to choose Coach Walz as my running mate was not influenced by racial or identity politics. It was about finding someone who shares my vision, my values, who has a proven track record of bringing people together to get things done, and can be a little fun while doing it. Tim is an experienced leader, a former educator, and a person who has dedicated his life to public service. I considered many exceptional individuals for this role, including leaders like Governor Whitmer, clearly if I considered a second woman identity politics weren't at play. What mattered most in my decision was finding the right person to help lead this country, someone who understands the challenges we face and who can help unify our nation during these divided times.Moving forward, I hope we can reach a point where questions like this are no longer necessary because our focus should be on qualifications, character, and the ability to lead, not just the identity of the individuals. Tim is the right choice!" Q: "Is HBCU funding for schools like NC A&T a priority for your administration, given your personal background?" A: "Well, let me just say, I think it’s pretty clear where my priorities lie, considering I attended an HBCU myself! I'm thankful for my Howard experience every day. And let’s not forget, my running mate, Governor Walz, is a former educator. So yes, HBCU funding is not just a priority—it’s a personal commitment. HBCUs have played a crucial role in shaping leaders, innovators, and changemakers in our country for generations. They provide not just education but also a sense of community, pride, and identity. Our administration is committed to ensuring that HBCUs have the resources they need to continue their legacy of excellence."

Charlotte, NC Below are one quote from Governor Cooper, one from Governor Walz, and two from Vice President Harris that are from the remarks made at today's rally. "North Carolina is not just a battleground state; it’s the proving ground for our democracy. We’ve been underestimated before, but we know that when we stand together, nothing can stop us. We’re going to fight for every vote, every voice, because the future of our country depends on it. Now let me welcome to the stage the next Vice President of the United States of America, Tim Walz!" - Governor Roy Cooper "We are the underdogs in this race, but we’ve got something far more powerful than any poll or pundit’s prediction: the will of the people. We’re not going back to the days of division and chaos. Together, we’re building a future that unites us, and we’re not backing down from the fight because every American deserves a better tomorrow." - Governor Tim Walz

"Donald Trump is a threat to everything we hold dear—our values, our democracy, our future. But let me tell you this: we are stronger than fear, stronger than hate, and we’re going to prove that in every corner of North Carolina and across this great nation." - Vice President Kamala Harris "We’re not here to make America go back to some imagined ‘great’ past. We’re here to build a future that’s better for everyone. We’re not MAGA, we’re moving forward, and we’re not going to stop until every North Carolinian has a voice in that future. We’re not going back!"- Vice President Kamala Harris

After narrowly making the weekend cut, Herman posted a field-best 61 on Saturday followed by a 63 in Round 4 that tied for the day’s best score with Denny McCarthy and won the tournament with a 21-under-par 259.

WAR RUN 2 (Sometime in October of 2017) :

Dudes from all across the country, from places like Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, and yes, even us from Mayberry made the trek down to Wilmington for the event which boasted “the worlds biggest mini bike race”.

War run is an event held annually by big Scott of the former podcast “riders on the norm” down in Wilmington. The run is put on to get friends together, raise some hell, and have loads of fun. However, there is a bigger reason this is done. All profits from the raffles and so on go to a charity or someone in need. (This most recent year the funds went to help those in need after a hurricane ripped up the east coast.)

War run is comprised of the run, of course, which is usually around the Wilmington area, and makes a stop along the way to entertain riders with historical battle sites before returning back to the compound. Once back to Big Scott’s HQ the festivities begin. Live music, raffles, food, and occasionally the worlds biggest mini bike race rage on into the late night hours.

I missed out this year, however WAR RUN2 is the story of my first experience with these dudes. My brother and I arranged to ride down with the companionship of my pal zak, since I knew he was going and would know everyone there. What was a nice surprise for me was that just out of our stomping grounds in Lexington, after riding like three bats from the gates of hell, in what could only be described as the worst rain suits ever, through a monsoon, we stopped to grab a bite of some pretty damn decent bbq and met up with the long brothers.

This was my brother and my first encounter with the brothers of long, however it wouldn’t be our last. These guys are true heroes to us and probably the most down to earth guys ever, which made the journey to the coast with them that much more special.

In fact, riding down there in the rain was the worst part of our trip to the coast. Everyone we met was so pleasant. Everywhere we went was so scenic. And man was it the coolest weekend ever... well, no. Not for us.

We had made previous promises to our friends here that we would come back in time for their chicken stew Saturday night.

So unfortunately our time with the war run was limited to riding down there with our friends, eating pigs and getting shit-faced in a field with a bunch of choppers, camping, and riding about half of the ride the next day. There isn’t enough time to sum up how amazing that 24 hours was though. It makes me crave going back to the beach and seeing my friends again like I never have before.

To quickly sum up our trip back, my brother and I filled up at a gas station where I plugged in our address in my gps on my phone, and trying to avoid major highways... Switched off that feature of our navigation. Setting out for Home quickly proved to be hell as we were set on a course to take ALL backroads and side roads the entire way back, leaving me to nearly run out of gas once, find a hatred for the roads in Fayetteville, and have us rolling into Greensboro at sunset. Once we arrived in kernersville and knew we could handle the highways, we raced home in time for our chicken stew and beers. Finished out the weekend in surry county and called it a success.

All in all it was a great weekend and it pushed us to do more of that type of riding anywhere we go. Even though our schedules have shifted a lot since then, this year we are planning to make every weekend like that one. Fun.

Esto es lo que piensan los editores de moda sobre la tendencia de cap 2020

Para limitar o no para limitar? Esa es la pregunta. Es un tema que ha estado circulando Who H Wear HQ esta semana, después de recorrer las muchas fotos de street style de Copenhagen Fashion Week y notar que un sorprendente número de editores elegantes se habían puesto gorras de béisbol. Típicamente asociado con los tenistas, los turistas que van a la playa y las celebridades que evitan los paparazzi, fue un movimiento de bola curva para una multitud tan tradicionalmente pulida, pero, por supuesto, lograron verse extremadamente geniales. ¿Pero se traduciría realmente en la vida real? La mayoría del equipo era claramente ambivalente y dijo que usaría una gorra en vacaciones por razones prácticas, pero no en las calles de Londres. Hubo, sin embargo, unos pocos que defendieron el potencial para elevar el atuendo de la gorra de béisbol, rastreando su factor genial a lo largo de las mismas líneas de entrenadores, sudaderas y pantalones de lujo. Así que decidimos dejar que dos editores pelearan. ¿Probarás la tendencia de la tapa en 2020? Háganos saber a través de Twitter o Instagram.

Este tipo de calzado no debe ser utilizado por empleados que trabajan cerca de circuitos eléctricos expuestos y energizados. Los empleados deben evitar usar medias o medias de seda, lana o nylon al 100% con zapatos conductores. Los polvos para los pies deben evitarse porque son aislantes e interfieren con la conductividad eléctrica. Algunas situaciones de trabajo pueden requerir calzado que pertenezca a más de una categoría. El calzado de protección puede cumplir con todos los requisitos del estándar ANSI o elementos específicos del mismo. Una bota de trabajo con punta de acero que cumpla con los requisitos de impacto y compresión del estándar ANSI puede no brindar protección contra riesgos de metatarso, electricidad o penetración. Todo el calzado fabricado según las especificaciones ANSI se marcará con la parte específica del estándar que cumple. Al adaptar el calzado de seguridad a un entorno o peligro específico, otros factores incluyen la tracción, la exposición a sustancias químicas, el frío y el calor. Debido a que no hay regulaciones federales que traten específicamente con el calzado antideslizante, no hay pruebas federales para garantizar la resistencia al deslizamiento.

Jonathan Bell, vicepresidente de operaciones de Jordan David. Como resultado, los compradores deben tener cuidado, dijo Matthew Smith, vicepresidente ejecutivo de Shoes for Crews, fabricante de calzado antideslizante en el lugar de trabajo. Smith sostiene que todos los días, los zapatos con suela de goma y la mayoría de los zapatos “antideslizantes” no protegerán adecuadamente a los empleados en superficies resbaladizas. John Cockrell está de acuerdo. Los profesionales de la seguridad deben verificar los reclamos de resistencia al deslizamiento de los fabricantes a través de referencias de otras compañías, de referencias de zapateros o mediante pruebas gorras en un laboratorio, dijo Cockrell, quien tiene un doctorado. Los Laboratorios SKL en Greensboro, Carolina del Norte, prueban la resistencia al deslizamiento de zapatos y materiales para pisos para unas 50 corporaciones importantes. La mejor manera de garantizar que un zapato sea antideslizante para un entorno de trabajo particular es someterlo a pruebas en un laboratorio, dijo Cockrell, quien ha buscado soluciones a resbalones y caídas durante casi 30 años. La única prueba que encontró que proporciona información razonablemente significativa sobre calzado y pisos en condiciones resbaladizas específicas del lugar de trabajo es ASTM F16-77.

La prueba F16-77 determinará si un zapato cumplirá una clasificación de resistencia al deslizamiento de 0.25. Esta calificación mínima aceptable mide la fuerza horizontal a vertical ejercida cuando la persona promedio baja el pie. Una fábrica puede necesitar una variedad de estilos para diferentes aplicaciones de trabajo, pero el piso es el mismo en toda la planta. Por lo tanto, el patrón de agarre de una suela antideslizante debería ser el mismo para todos los estilos de calzado, dijo Smith. Los compuestos de suela para calzado antideslizante incluyen a base de caucho, poliuretano y cloruro de polivinilo (PVC). Las suelas de goma generalmente son las mejores para la resistencia al deslizamiento, dijo Smith. El calzado resistente a productos químicos debe usarse en áreas con posibles salpicaduras químicas o corrosivas. Desafortunadamente, hay más compuestos químicos que tipos de zapatos, y hacer coincidir el material del calzado con un peligro químico puede ser un desafío. Una forma de determinar el calzado o la bota resistentes a los químicos adecuados es verificar las hojas de datos de seguridad del material del lugar de trabajo para que el calzado coincida con los químicos individuales.

Incluso eso puede no ser lo suficientemente bueno, dijo Arlen Stensrud de Norcross Safety Products, un fabricante de botas para ambientes químicos y climáticos. En general, hay tres tipos de material de calzado resistente a los químicos: caucho, neopreno o PVC. Busque una guía de comparación de resistencia química para averiguar cuál es el mejor para un producto químico, dijo Stensrud, pero no confíe únicamente en él. Señaló que la mejor manera de asegurarse de que un material en particular funcione en un entorno químico específico es hacer que se pruebe el calzado. 1. El caucho es adecuado para algunos entornos químicos y tiene una clasificación excelente para muchos ácidos y amoníacos. 2. El neopreno, más liviano que el caucho, tiene una clasificación excelente para la mayoría de los ácidos, aceites, petroleos y muchos otros químicos. Este compuesto se puede utilizar en entornos donde el caucho no funcionará: procesamiento de carne y aves de corral, petroquímica, agroquímica, perforación y refinación de petróleo, procesamiento de lácteos y alimentos, pesca, cervecerías y embotellado, agricultura y eliminación de desechos. 3. El PVC tiene una clasificación excelente para algunos ácidos y algunos aceites. Su composición es relativamente conveniente para determinar mezclas para resistir productos químicos específicos, dijo Stensrud.

Top 15 Fittest U.S. Billionaires 2017 – Samir Becic

Since the 2008 financial crisis, the number of billionaires in the world has nearly doubled. According to Forbes, the world’s richest people command wealth totaling $6.5 trillion. Of all that money, 13% of current billionaires inherited it, 21% received a huge sum of money and simply added onto it, and the remaining 2/3rds are self-made and built their fortunes themselves, both through investing or business ventures. This group of individuals are not only visionaries to accomplish such financial feats, but also have a track record of success and discipline. “Having a winning mentality usually means that billionaires push themselves not only mentally but also physically- and many billionaires are extremely fit as well” says HFR Institute founder Samir Becic. In a recent study published in the June issue of the Journal of Labor Research, researchers were able to show that employees who regularly exercise earn 9% more than their lazier counterparts. Maybe these following billionaires are onto something!

Based on our research done in 2015 and 2016 on how American Billions stay fit (Part 1 and Part 2), we have compiled a list of the Top 10 Billionaires 2017. We aim, as a publication, to be progressive in how people view health and fitness by showcasing relevant public figures who make healthy lifestyle a priority. Our lists have gotten worldwide media buzz due to their unique and creative nature.

To create the list, we used a combination of interviews, internet, library, industry literature, and H.F.R. institute founder Samir Becic’s knowledge of over 20 years as a fitness expert coupled with his recognition as “4x Number 1 Fitness Trainer in the World.”

“The billionaire’s contribution to American economy is imperative for the further growth of the United States,” said HFR founder Samir Becic. “There is another great avenue the billionaires can take in order to improve American economy, creativity, discipline, positivity and a winning spirit, and that is by being fit and spreading the message of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.”

Samir continues “I truly believe that in the 21st century, in order to excel in the world, you have to be fit and healthy.”

Here are the 15 in no particular order:

Kevin Plank, 44- Founder of Under Armour

Exclusive: Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank Gets Candid on the 2016 Presidential Election… https://t.co/TsSWoOPuFu pic.twitter.com/KVhiDPlGWG

— Footwear News (@FootwearNews) November 10, 2016

Owns a private gym in his home

Works out and talk business every Saturday at 6 a.m.

Hired two trainers, Nate and Damien Costa, to supervise their workout and to train all Under Armour employees

Everyday his lunch consists of a mix of skinless chicken, salmon, brown rice and broccoli.

Samir Becic: “If every billionaire in this world were like Kevin, we would have more fit people and less obesity in this world.”

David Murdock, 93- CEO of Dole Food Company

Wait. @DoleTweets CEO David Murdock drinks HOW much coffee a day?! http://t.co/EGVAQmkXmD #subscriber #OpenShut pic.twitter.com/dyfsSReWrs

— Lisa McKinnon (@805foodie) May 23, 2015

Personal advocate for healthy eating and natural foods

Crams as many as 20 fruits and vegetables, including pulverized banana peels and the ground-up rinds of oranges into the smoothies he drinks two to three times a day

Avoids dairy, red meat, poultry, which are consigned to his list of forbidden foods that also includes alcohol, sugar and salt.

He tries to fit in weight lifting several times a week, and that combined with brisk walks on a treadmill and his diet, helps keep his weight at about 140 lbs

Built a $500 million to build the North Carolina Research campus near Charlotte, “dedicated to his conviction that plants, eaten in copious quantities and the right variety, hold the promise of optimal health and maximal life span.” The Research Campus is a cooperative effort of eight universities all working together for the benefit of health and longevity. These include Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, NC State University, UNC Charlotte, North Carolina Central University, NC A&T State University, UNC Greensboro and Appalachian State University.

Samir Becic: “What can I say? When somebody is 92, he is already a champion in his own category. But being fit at that age is a superb acheivement.”

Michael Bloomberg, 74 – CEO of Bloomberg LP;

Former NYC Mayor

One of my favorite things: a visit from @Oprah today at @Bloomberg HQ. pic.twitter.com/q5OqcYgeOT

— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) December 12, 2016

As mayor, encouraged citizens of New York City to get healthy and fit with a “Make NYC Your Gym” movement. “New York City is a great place to get healthy and keep fit — anyone can make the parks, streets and sidewalks into their own personal gym.”

Plays golf.

Runs for nearly an hour every day on a treadmill.

Limits unhealthy takeout lunches, eats a lot of salads and snacks on popcorn.

HFR named Bloomberg as one of the top fittest mayors in America.

Samir Becic: “If every mayor in America would follow the great example of Mr. Bloomberg- not only to be physically fit personally, but also create programs for their constituents, America would be the fittest nation.”

Vince McMahon, 71, WWE

They are survivors. They are courageous. Most definitely, they are CHAMPIONS! #MoreThanPink @SusanGKomen pic.twitter.com/OBmjTE60G7

— Vince McMahon (@VinceMcMahon) October 7, 2016

Typically trains four days a week (depending on his work schedule)

Trains each body part once a week.

He alternates between “Heavy” and “Not-So-Heavy” days for each body part.

Trains calves every third day and abs twice a week.

His son-in-law has said he likes to train at 2 a.m.

Samir Becic: “What can you say about Vince McMahon? He is crazy fit!”

Tilman Fertitta, 59 – Landry’s Inc.

#MakeItHappen #wednesdaywisdom for this holiday week. Y’all have a great one. #BillionDollarBuyer pic.twitter.com/VFRBgncpqW

— Tilman Fertitta (@TilmanJFertitta) December 21, 2016

Works out at least 3 times a week.

Plays tennis.

Runs outdoors.

Makes a conscious effort to eat healthy to maintain his health.

His employees in his corporate office have access to a 3,000 square foot fitness facility on campus.

He has an understanding of what the body needs in terms of healthy food and portion control.

Has a very accommodating restaurant culture that will cook healthy meals upon request. “No” is not a work in his restaurants’ vocabulary.

Samir Becic: “Tilman Fertitta is putting Houston on the national and international map. Not only is he doing so with his hit TV show but also as one of the largest sole restaurant owners in the world whose restaurants are catering to healthy lifestyle. This means you can order anything you want and they will accommodate you. Great respect to this extraordinary man.”

Andrew Cherng, 68- Founder of Panda Restaurant Group Inc.

#GrowingUpWithIanChen ep.3-Learning about business from @PandaExpress CEO Andrew Cherng. I also got a new job! https://t.co/iTYi8AXDmT pic.twitter.com/4DYWEAnnBX

— Ian Chen (@TheIanChen) December 6, 2016

Every few weeks on Saturday he hosts forums at the Panda Express headquarters outside Pasadena, CA, where his employees dance through Zumba routines, and then participate in a motivational self-help session.

Encourages yoga and exercise at work.

Meditates to relieve stress and promotes it in his business culture and encourages employees to participate.

Developed a mandatory four-point action plan for his employees which includes exercise for a healthy lifestyle, continuous learning, developing others and acknowledging others.

“When you have the right habits, okay, certain good things will come to you that’s what life is about”.

Samir Becic: “I really appreciate how much effort Andrew puts into making his employees be more health conscious and fitness orientated. More CEOs should put greater importance on healthy lifestyle with their employees- a positive change which will increase productivity, workplace happiness, and overall health.”

Sergey Brin, 43 – Google Co-Creator

Can the Breakthrough Prize turn scientists into celebrities? Tech titans like @Google cofounder Sergey Brin think so https://t.co/NmJXXjKbv3 pic.twitter.com/YoO6xtyQHI

— CNNTech (@cnntech) December 6, 2016

Enjoys skydiving.

In his spare time, he likes to push his body to the limits in any way he can, from roller hockey and ultimate frisbee to gymnastics, springboard diving, and even high-flying trapeze. “I like to do a variety of acrobatic things,” he has said.

Takes trapeze classes at a local circus gym.

Kenneth Feld, 68, Ringling Brothers

Only 15% of Feld Entertainment revenue is derived from the circus—but billionaire Kenneth Feld is keeping it alive https://t.co/nCFZLenzDx pic.twitter.com/QFP88cLkWG

— Forbes (@Forbes) December 11, 2016

Is an exercise and running enthusiast.

Runs marathons.

“When I was 39, somebody said however you are when you’re 40 is how you’re going to be the rest of your life. So I frantically changed. I had about six months to change all of my habits. I never exercised, so I started exercising. I changed my diet. So that sort of changed things for me. Then, I started running in my early 50s. Bill Powell, our regional vice president for this area, talked me into running and it was right when the circus was starting, the beginning of January. I did the Gasparilla run, the 15K. I didn’t know if I could make it then, and it was exhilarating. I started becoming a running addict and I figured for my 55th birthday, I was going to run the New York City Marathon. In the first year, we did it in 3:58 and we beat our goal. I’ve run five marathons: New York twice, Chicago twice and the Marine Corps marathon, all under four hours.” “Whenever there is a marathon and I’m not running in it, I have a marathon envy. It is the most positive experience. You’re running a race you know you’re not going to win, but all the runners are rooting for each other and all the spectators are rooting for every person. I think outside of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, it’s maybe one of the most positive experiences that anybody can ever have. There’s not a negative thought that exists out there. So there’s a lot of pleasure that’s derived from that, and you’re doing it. No one can run that 26.2 for you. So, it’s one of the greater feelings of satisfaction you can get.”

Samir Becic: “Kenneth Feld is a perfect example that you can start a healthy lifestyle at 40 and 50 and still reap the maximum results of a healthy lifestyle.”
