Personally, I go to a gym. But then, I live in a small town so I don't see very many *people*. Incidentally, I've always gone to a gym, even when I lived in a slightly larger town of Philadelphia.
The key to the middle parts is: it's the last fat to go.
You don't say how old you are, but the fact is you're getting older and your metabolism continues to slow each year. You can combat that by moving (aka exercise) and eating. Yes, eating. If you don't take in enough calories - the right calories - your body will react by storing what it can, usually in your middle. Unfortunately, your middle is the last place you lose from.
Muscles burn calories. You can increase your resting metabolic rate by building muscle. Just having more muscle mass == more calories burned sitting on your butt. It's a vicious cycle though, if you don't maintain the muscle (aka exercise) you'll lose it through catabolism (body breaks it down for energy).
There's a godzillion things you can do at home, but the easiest way to start is with push-ups and sit-ups. Buy an exercise ball, one of those big funny-looking rubber balls. There are dozens of different exercises you can do with those. They're cheap and they're extremely versatile. You don't necessarily need weights if you're a beginner, or even intermediate. You just need to use your body as the weight and do _something_ to trick your body into building some muscle mass. (You won't build a ton just doing pushups, but you'd be suprised how quickly it works) Consistency is key - 3 times per week on the "weights". You need a day in-between to allow your body to recover and actually build the muscle.
This one goes without saying: Eat healthy!
If you have the means, i.e. space and money, get a treadmill. Use it 30 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week.
The bottom line is, you have to burn calories and build some muscle. The only way to do either one is to _move_ a lot.
See, _that's_ the problem. Their little green and brown space ships stick out like a sore thumb against the blackness of space. They were in the process of switching to desert camo, but the req's got mired down in red tape, hence the 50/50 mix.
My uncle, who made millions in the auto industry, has a saying: "Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it." In other words, if someone out there thinks that $300 is a fair price for a memory upgrade, then that's what it's worth to them.
Amen. We'll continue our unpleasant labor to earn that decent living.
The movie stars and professional athletes, on the other hand, can continue to eke out the meager living that's due them based on the unpleasantness and difficulty of their thankless professions. It's a shame that our civilized society labors for a decent living while they suffer so.
It could be my gross lack of understanding just what "compliance" means with respect to the DOJ requirements, but I fail to see how this is even a feasible undertaking.
There are a number of large programs and projects that are subject to third-party V&V. But, from my understanding, this isn't anything like a Verification and Validation.
There must be scores of millions of lines of code in Windows proper, from the kernel to the UI. A simple Technical Committee from the DOJ is supposed to pore over the source looking for violatins? That's what TFA seems to imply. Of whom is this technical committee comprised of? Hopefully a highly capable third party. I find it difficult to believe - not impossible - that the DOJ just happens to have the manpower and skillsets in-house to handle such an undertaking.
So, if it's not a complete code analysis, then it must be something less. That implies something more superficial. Are they supposed to simply validate specs to features - a black box test if you will? Or is this going to be a superficial, less-than-effective CTL + F for defaults as TFA seems to imply.
I've worked on a lot of software projects, big and small. I've worked on everything from C to ASP.Net and everything in between from small applications to large enterprise scale systems. I can say anecdotally that the most difficult part is reading and understanding an existing application. Some TC from the DOJ is just going to whisk in with a team of ninja geeks fresh out of Carnegie Mellon and Stanford and Viola' the code is analyzed? Just like that?
I'm just not buying it. The efficacy of this endeavor is completely suspect. It's either a complete waste of my tax dollars, or it's a complete waste of my tax dollars disguised as "to protect and serve."
