NEPAL is a man made TICKING TIME BOMB -... And they keep making it worse. I have been working on the “Development Issue” in Nepal for thirty years. I literally have two jobs there now, and left just days before the big floods. It was too dangerous to get to my sites, so I called off all works until November, and flew to India. A week later the floods. All my people trapped up in the hills. I have spoken in forums, worked with engineers, pleaded with people placing their structures in terrible locations. To no avail. I have witnessed the roads being cut into every mountain with zero engineering. A 15 years old kid driving a huge back hoe, tearing open a mountain side, and making a road. It was obvious the hills would fail. I have been in two huge floods where many people have died, and I didn’t. I’ve seen the glaciers melt. I’ve seen it all with my own eyes, I’ve spent years trying to help, and ……NOTHING! They keep dosing it, and it is a tinder box waiting to explode with multiple fuses…..climate change and terrible construction. I go back up next week…..to do it all again. Pics from my current job sites and getting to them.show more

The legitimacy of the case against the Islamic republic... is first and foremost rooted in the demands of the Iranian people inside Iran, who have repeatedly risen up, most recently in the millions, to demand an end to this regime. In this movement, there has been only one name they have called for, and only one transitional leadership the Iranian people have fought for: Reza Pahlavi. Now that doesn’t mean every Iranian is a monarchist, and it doesn’t mean “restoring monarchy” either. If fact, Pahlavi himself has called for a transition to democracy and has only ever called for a transition leadership. Many people are calling for Pahlavi today who did not support the Shah in the past. The world is still talking over them. Instead of listening to the Iranian people, the international media and multiple governments around the world have consistently proposed plan after plan, actively ignoring the will of the Iranian people. They have minimized and in some cases even mocked the Crown Prince, when he and he alone has the ear of the people on the ground. There have been well funded and coordinated efforts against the Crown Prince attempting to cast doubt on his popularity with the Iranian public and to spread rumors that anyone who supports him as a traditional leader is “restoring monarchy”. He has been accused of all sorts of absurdities from being an “Israeli agent” to being asked to answer for political decisions of his father that have nothing to do with him and still he has maintained the respect and support of the Iranian people. This is a cataclysmic mistake on the part of the West. Iran is not Afghanistan or Venezuela. You will never have a successful foreign imposed leader like the terrorist Ghalibaf when the people are calling for something else entirely. How many times must the West repeat the same mistakes over and over against expecting different results?show more

Training a muscle 2-3 times a week in the... 4-6 rep range is simply the most effective way to make it grow. - You're minimising fatigue (caused by volume) - Which allows you to maximise the growth stimulus (the last 5 reps from failure) - And recover fast enough to train the muscle in a fresh state in the same week (adding to the growth stimulus) Can you build muscle while ignoring this and just going for the pump? Sure, but it pays to have the right programming if you're not settling for mediocrity.show more
