New Open Source Debugger: record, replay, reverse execute

The newest addition to the Free Debuggers and Bug Trackers page is a debugger that can record a failure in a program, allowing you to replay that execution as many times as you need, attaching breakpoints and watchpoints as needed. You can even reverse execute the program, with the debugger stopping the execution when those breakpoints or watchpoints are hit.

Sandra Bullock: conmen are using my name and picture to flog rip-off “miracle” weight loss pill

Hollywood star Sandra Bullock is furious after her name has been hijacked by conmen to push supposed weight-loss remedies.

Numerous websites are using made-up quotes that claim she uses a range of pills that boast of miraculous results.

The pills are also said to have won Dragons’ Den here in the UK, and its American equivalent, Shark Tank.

“It was the most watched episode in Dragons’ Den history when sisters Anna and Samantha Martin won over the Dragons’ Den panel,” gushes a website for supposed fat-burning weight loss pills costing just £4.95.

“Never before had the judging panel unanimously decided to each invest over a million dollars into a potential company.”

Which raises an obvious question: why would the Dragons invest dollars and not pounds?

Still, the site goes on to claim that a bunch of Hollywood celebrities endorse the product, TrimGenix Garcinia.

“I have a hectic schedule and I don’t have a lot of time to devote to workout routines,” the website quotes actress Sandra Bullock as saying.

“That’s why I love TrimGenix Garcinia! Taking just one per day helps me stay toned and feeling healthy and energetic.”

Trap: The offer comes with strings

The pills are made from a tropical fruit, garcinia cambogia, and besides burning fat they supposedly aid sleep and increase energy.

I’ve no idea if the health claims are true, but I can confidently say that the celebrity endorsements are fake.

“This site is using Sandra Bullock’s name and image without her giving permission,” her spokeswoman said.

“She is not associated in any capacity with this product nor has she ever used it.”

In the States, there are websites claiming TrimGenix won Shark Tank: “$4.95 weight loss pill that naturally burns fat gets biggest deal in Shark Tank history.”

So, did it win Dragons’ Den or Shark Tank? The answer is neither.

The pictures of Anna and Samantha Martin really show two sisters called Shelly Hyde and Kara Haught, who went on Shark Tank to promote a swimwear range.

Their pictures have been used ever since by conmen to promote junk that is nothing to do with them.

“We would love to get them to stop, not sure how though,” they said. “It’s so frustrating.”

Last year, I told how the same pictures were used to flog a skin cream called, among other names, Total Age Repair.

The blurb was identical: “Never before had the judging panel ­unanimously decided to each invest over a million dollars into a potential company”.

The only difference is that back then the sisters were given the names Anna and Samantha Williams, rather than Martin.

The skin cream version of the scam is still active and one of the names it now uses is Le Baleux Moisturiser.

This uses the same picture of the sisters and another fabricated endorsement from Sandra Bullock.

“I have a hectic schedule and I don’t have a lot of time to devote to beauty routines,” she’s quoted.

“That’s why I love Le Baleux Moisturiser! Just a few minutes every night keeps my skin beautiful and wrinkle free.”

And it’s not just Le Baleux, Sandra Bullock’s name is being used without permission for load of similar old beauty and diet baleux, just look at these:

Lies: actress has not endorsed all these pills

If half these claims were true the actress would be spending so much of her life popping weight-loss pills and smearing cream over her face she’d never have any time for filming.

These products typically use pressure-selling to push free samples. This Tuesday, one garcinia site read: “Free samples are limited. Expires on Tuesday, February 20, 2018.”

What you won’t know unless you find the small print is that you’ll be sent more of the stuff every month, along with a bill.

“I applied for a free trial of Total Age Repair which I received a month or so ago,” one reader has just told me.

“Today I’ve had another jar and a fee of £89.95.”

She received a £44.97 refund after complaining, but has since had another £89.95 deduction from her account without even receiving another jar – which means that so far the “free trial” has cost almost £135.

Advanced HIIT – High Intensity Interval Training

I have written about HIIT before but it is something that I really do prescribe to instead of just another workout alternative. The idea to me of getting a good workout is to workout hard for a short period of time and really work the muscles.

Lately I have been trying to concentrate even more on compound, or basic, exercises like bench press, squats, military press and rows.

Why do HIIT workouts?

The way that you do one of these workouts is to string all of your exercises together and do it as one long set with very little time between exercises. You do this one long set and then take a rest and then do it all over again.

Advanced HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training

This is the exact method that Tom has talked about in Burn the Fat and is the way to have a quick but very effective and very intense workout.

I used to hate spending an hour training everyday and now I train my body in only 30-40 minutes instead. Nice time saving and I feel like I really worked hard after I am done.

Compound exercises are a very important part of high intensity interval training. The real advantage of doing the compound exercises is that you get to work your body as intended.

For your rowing you know that it is working mainly your back and biceps proton-pump inhibitors but the shoulders and forearms get a workout too and when are you going to really work your forearms?

Zen to Fitness has a great workout  that has details on 10 exercises that you would do in a circuit style routine and it is definitely a great read so check it out but remember that this is advanced and would be really tough to do so do not worry about this kind of intensity just yet if you have not done it before.

Prepping for HIIT workouts

One thing that I never mentioned before is the prep for a big circuit training like this. I always think of this as three sets of 6 or 8 exercises so each set is 10 or 12 minutes long and very difficult.

I always make sure that I work really hard for each of my exercises and take a quick gulp of water and quickly (5 seconds or so) refocus for the next exercise. This is really a difficult thing to do but the mental game of lifting as Arnold Schwartzenegger has taught us is 99% of your lifting anyway.

Having a water bottle for your workout is important not only for the water but for something else to focus on between the exercises.

Mentally it is a really good idea to stop one exercise and then be able to start the next exercise mentally fresh even when your body is tired and you are breathing hard.

If you do not refocus quickly between exercises then you will not be able to get good sets out later in the circuit at all.

WordCamp Incubator 2.0

WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by a team of local WordPress users who have a passion for growing their communities. They are born out of active WordPress meetup groups that meet regularly and are able to host an annual WordCamp event. This has worked very well in many communities, with over 120 WordCamps being hosted around the world in 2017.

Sometimes though, passionate and enthusiastic community members can’t pull together enough people in their community to make a WordCamp happen. To address this, we introduced the WordCamp Incubator program in 2016.

The goal of the incubator program is to help spread WordPress to underserved areas by providing more significant organizing support for their first WordCamp event. In 2016, members of the global community team worked with volunteers in three cities — Denpasar, Harare and Medellín — giving direct, hands-on assistance in making local WordCamps possible. All three of these WordCamp incubators were a great success, so we're bringing the incubator program back for 2018.

Where should the next WordCamp incubators be? If you have always wanted a WordCamp in your city but haven’t been able to get a community started, this is a great opportunity. We will be taking applications for the next few weeks, then will get in touch with everyone who applied to discuss the possibilities. We will announce the chosen cities by the end of March.

To apply, fill in the application by March 15, 2018. You don’t need to have any specific information handy, it’s just a form to let us know you’re interested. You can apply to nominate your city even if you don’t want to be the main organizer, but for this to work well we will need local liaisons and volunteers, so please only nominate cities where you live or work so that we have at least one local connection to begin.

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Integratori naturali: la Garcinia Cambogia pura

<!– –>

Tra gli integratori naturali utilizzati per dimagrire, negli ultimi temi ce ne sono diversi che stanno prendendo il sopravvento. Prima di approfondire il discorso è fondamentale ricordare che non esistono prodotti miracolosi per la perdita di peso, ma che dimagrire è sempre frutto di fatica, di lavoro costante, di sacrifico.

Di ricette miracoloso in sostanza non ne esistono; anzi quella che funziona meglio è antica come il mondo. Uno stile di vita corretto unito ad una alimentazione sana, più che mai fondamentale per perdere peso, e ad una attività fisica da praticare in modo equilibrato ma costante.
Niente di stravolgente quindi. Stili di vita corretti e sani, questo è alla base di un meccanismo virtuoso che possa portare a perdere peso. Ma a queste abitudini possono essere affiancati integratori alimentari, sempre naturali e mai con additivi chimici, che vanno a supportare le operazioni velocizzando il processo di perdita di peso.

Tra i tanti integratori alimentari di questo settore usciti negli ultimi anni e al 100% naturali, vi è la Garcinia Cambogia. Probabilmente il nome non sarà nuovo per chi è interessato a questi argomenti. Si tratta di un prodotto naturale che deriva da un frutto tropicale presente nel sud-est dell’Asia.

Tante proprietà che fanno capo anche ad antiche tradizioni popolari, dato che la Garcinia Cambogia viene utilizzata da sempre nelle culture asiatiche e in particolare in quelle indiana e vietnamita. Queste proprietà parlano di grandi capacità di bruciare i grassi: la Garcinia Cambogia è un prodotto naturale che può quindi essere utilizzato come integratore nell’ambito di una dieta sana ed equilibrata.

In che modo agisce? L’integratore avrebbe una azione direttamente sull’appetito, limitandolo, così da ridurre anche il totale di calorie ingerite nel corso della giornata. La presenza poi di acido idrossicitrico, principio attivo in grado di ‘pulire’ il grasso in eccesso dell’organismo, aiuta a ridurre la produzione di colesterolo cattivo fungendo anche da lassativo naturale.

Tutte azioni che hanno una ricaduta diretta sulla possibilità di perdere peso. Non è un caso che oggi la  Garcinia Cambogia trovi largo impiego nelle diete e sia collocata sul mercato tra i prodotti capaci di supportare chi vuole perdere peso.

Una pianta sub tropicale dalle tante proprietà naturali che oggi viene venduta come integratore alimentare sotto forma di capsule. Un rimedio noto da tempo, in altre culture, se si pensa che nella cucina indonesiana, ad esempio, è un ingrediente base per molti piatti tipici.

Essendo un integratore che favorisce la perdita di peso, deve essere assunta ovviamente consultando un esperto e senza eccedere nelle dosi.

Getting Motivated To Run Your First Race

Health magazine has these quick tips to help you get motivated to run a race. I know that it has been a goal of mine to run a 10k for a long time but pushing through that tough training and having my body heal between workouts is the tough part.

Need help in the motivation department? Sign up for a 5K or 10K. Suddenly, your exercise routine becomes ‘training’ and every workout has a purpose.

Plus, your competitive spirit is bound to keep you fired up and help you push past what you thought was impossible. Here’s how to ace the race.

Three Tips To Help You Get Motivated to Run Your First Race

Find your ideal race. If you usually do 1- to 2-mile runs, try a 5K (just over 3 miles). If you can comfortably do 3 to 4 miles, go for a 10K (a little more than 6 miles).

Find a race online at Active.com or by checking with a local running store (expect to pay around $25 to enter). Leave plenty of time to train; 8 to 10 weeks is ideal. Then tell everyone about it better yet, ask them to join you.

Getting Motivated To Run Your First Race

Get with a program. You can go to Training Programs to download one of my 5K or 10K race plans and a running log to track your progress.

Post the log on your fridge with a map of the race course for inspiration.

Prep for race day! That morning, eat a high-carb, low-fat breakfast (my favorite: peanut butter on toast with a banana) and drink 8 ounces of water at least 2 hours before the race starts to allow time for digestion.

Arrive at least 45 minutes early, so you have time to settle in and warm up with 5 to 10 minutes of easy-paced walking and running.

When it’s time to line up, aim for the middle (or back) to avoid getting mowed over by the quick starters. During the race, back off a little for the first half, then turn up the speed in the closing miles; you’ll run better, stronger, and faster (and look fabulous in that finish-line photo).

Once you cross the line, keep walking to cool down, and drink some sports drink or chocolate milk within 30 minutes to refuel your muscles. Then celebratehey, you deserve it!
