Ernie Hudson is 80 years old.
And he looks stronger than most men half his age.
His secret?
No “get shredded in 30 days"...
Just repeatable systems he’s followed for years:

He basically treats physical fitness like mental fitness:
Small reps.
Daily repetition.
No drama.
And that’s why it lasts decades.

Consistency beats intensity.
A system you can run for 20 years beats a “transformation” you quit in 20 days.
Your body and mind are your responsibility.
Hudson says, "Build habits that compound."
At 30 you call it “fitness.”
At 80 you call it freedom.

the cubit in areas from the Middle East to India, were just primitive, that they were all based on parts of the body and varied from person to person and therefore were unreliable.

If their measurements varied from person to person, and there was no standard that was recognized and used, how could any of the ancient structures of Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Babylon, Assyria, or the Indus Valley have been constructed,

The U.S. is hosting 50+ countries to talk about loosening China’s grip on critical minerals.
Translation:
👉 the system already lost control.
When governments meet about supply chains, the shortage is real.

China doesn’t just mine minerals.
China controls processing, refining, and delivery timing.
That’s the choke point.
And no amount of speeches can rebuild that overnight.
Years, not months.

Hi, I'll be live-tweeting today's Full Council Meeting for #indydocumenters

@mirrorindy
The Full Council Meeting started at 7 p.m. with council president Maggie A. Lewis from district 5 introduced councillor Brienne Delaney for the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer.
Reverend Mindie Moore from St. Luke's Methodist Church introduced by councillor Delaney recited her prayer at the meeting.
Thread of highlights from @Michael_J_Hil's excellent piece on Hackney Planning Dept's rationale for rejecting the hugely popular densification scheme 'Shoreditch Works', which would create space for 4,000 jobs on brownfield sites in central London.
@Michael_J_Hil Although the planning application is some seven times longer than War and Peace and hundreds of times longer than early twentieth-century planning applications, the Dept considers it to be too short.
@Michael_J_Hil Parts of the development would be overshadowed by other parts of the development.
Rahul Gandhi is desperate to discuss an unpublished book.
But as MP Nishikant Dubey said in the House today,
Rahul Gandhi should also discuss the books that are already published.
Like these books, exposing the policy blunders of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty #Thread
1- Nehru’s 97 Major Blunders, by Rajnikant Puranik
This book is a compilation of Congress’s historical blunders, including Kashmir, handling of China, & economy.

3. Mrs. Gandhi’s Second Reign by Arun Shourie
A detailed documentation of the decline of institutions under Indira Gandhi.
It explains how the Congress party transitioned into a one-woman show, where loyalty to the Gandhi family mattered more than national interest.

Spending today (yet again) sitting in the court of session listening to the Scottish government discuss its determination that some men should be treated by like women, in one way or another. This time - prisons. I expect to hear much talk “balancing of rights”. But/
As others said, this is a case where an attractive-sounding concept has been introduced into a context where it simply does not belong. Whether we’re talking about rights as moral/ethical, protected in domestic law or international human rights standards…/
there are plenty of times where I don’t have a right to something and “balancing” simply doesn’t come into it. As a trivial example, I don’t have the right to…./

Women are not inferior to men – they are capable of doing everything men can do. Take the case of Kosovo, were president Vjosa Osmani convincingly demonstrates that for the sake of a political career she can be just as spineless as her male colleagues. ⬇️
In a 2019 interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), the future Kosovar president Vjosa Osmani talked a lot about her (legitimate and important) goal to strengthen the role of women in Europe´s youngest state. Among other things, Mrs. Osmani said:
“For me, it is important that at the end of my term I leave behind the message that no girl and no woman in 🇽🇰will ever again believe she is in any way inferior. … I am sure that by the end of my term, the women and girls in 🇽🇰will know that there is nothing they cannot do.”
We will shortly be reporting day 2 of For Women Scotland vs Scottish Ministers Judicial Review at the Court of Session.
The planned start time is 10 am and we anticipate will start with Tony Convery discussing the Prison's Guidance documentation.

#MadrasHighCourt Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G. Arul Murugan begin hearing two writ petitions, one filed an individual named K. Athinarayanan of Madurai and another by AIADMK Member of Parliament I.S. Inbadurai, seeking registration of a FIR regarding an alleged cash-for-jobs scam in Minister K.N. Nehru's Municipal Administration and Water Supply department. @THChennai Backgrounder👇

thehindu.com/news/national/…
The Madurai litigant submits a list of criminal cases pending against him. The judges had directed him to submit the list during the last hearing.. Advocate General P.S. Raman reads the list and says 18 out of the 32 criminal cases had been closed. One attempt to murder case booked under the Arms Act too was still pending. Chief Justice asks the petitoner's counsel why his client had not disclosed these antecedents in his affidavit.
Petitioner counsel says, the antecedents will not come in the way of deciding the present writ petition. However, Chief Justice says the criminal cases had been pending for years together and it was not as if overnight all these cases had been slapped on him. CJ says, petitioner must have disclosed this in his affidavit. He asks why should court interfere in the issue at hand at the instance of the petitioner. CJ says, they will examine the issue at the instance of some other person but not at the instance of the Madurai litigant whose bonafides are doubtful.
