To understand the new smart watches and other pro devices of recent focus we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. What the studies have in common is taking a circuit approach to resistance training, using heavy-but-manageable loads, alternately working multiple muscle groups, and rotating through the exercises with little or no rest in between. It can seem even more daunting when you want to incorporate strength training and the weights sections of your gym are crowded with muscle-y guys who are grunting and throwing dumbbells on the ground.

To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line. What we like: Angled second screen is quite useful.Durability is top notch.Better dual-screen software.Powerful hardware features. What we dislike: Less battery life than other options.Keyboard and trackpad are flimsy.No…

Despite the Zimbabwean government’s theoretical commitment to reduce and regulate the use of mercury in mining, the toxic metal remains unrestricted in the country’s artisanal gold mining sector. Zimbabwe is a party to the Minamata Convention. The purpose of this Convention is to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic emissions of mercury and mercury compounds. It sets out various measures to achieve that objective. These measures include controlling the supply and trade of mercury and regulating mercury-added products and manufacturing processes. It also commits signatories to reducing and, where possible, eliminating the use of mercury in artisanal and…

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — With growing concerns about microplastics in drinking water and the environment, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are working to simplify the way they detect tiny particles, a mission now supported by new federal attention and funding.In the Penn Engineering lab, postdoctoral researcher Derek Ho uses Nile Red dye and acetone to identify microplastics in water samples, including those collected from Cobbs Creek.”And this red particle here, it’s microplastic,” Ho said as he examined the sample.Nearby, various plastics from drinking water sources, including water bottles and canned water, glowed under special lighting.”If you look closely, you’ll see…

(Part 1) MANILA, PHILIPPINES—The Philippines’ plastic crisis is determined not only by the amount of plastic consumed, but also by how poorly the waste is managed after use. The country will generate an estimated 1.51 million tonnes of plastic waste per year in 2025, according to Earth Action’s 2025 Plastic Overshoot Day report and data from the World Population Review. More than half of that waste (approximately 55.56% or approximately 839,300 tonnes) is expected to be mismanaged by 2025, meaning it is left uncollected, openly dumped, incinerated or otherwise improperly disposed of. Much of it ends up in waterways, coastlines,…
