And what does COP27 mean for your money? [Banker Bull logo]( At Banker Bull we are serious about being your [â]( and earsâ for special opportunities for you to take advantage of. The message below from one of our partners is one we think you should take a close look at. You donât have to be an athlete to face daily athletic challenges. Whether itâs lifting your luggage into the overhead compartment of an airplane or squatting on the floor to play with your kids, many daily movements require a combination of strength, stability and flexibility. Like an athlete, if you want to do these things well without risking injury, you have to train. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week, and two weekly sessions of strength training that target all the major muscle groups. But life is busy. If you only have 10 minutes, thereâs still a lot you can do, using just your body weight, that can ward off creaky knees, stiff backs and aching necks. One way to create a fast and effective workout is to focus on the concept of mobility, which involves increasing strength, stability and flexibility, said Cedric Bryant, the president of the American Council on Exercise. âWhen we think of mobility, we think about movement,â he said. This means strength training using dynamic moves, like lunges, that work groups of muscles, rather than individual ones, like, say, a bicep curl. âThe body never does just a bicep curlâ in daily life, said Jessica Valant, a physical therapist and Pilates instructor based in Denver. Another way to build strength for everyday life is to do exercises that target important moving body parts, like the shoulders, hips and spine, by strengthening them while going through their ranges of motion. âYour spine is the center of your torso, the hip is what connects your legs to your torso, and the shoulder is what connects your arms to your torso,â Ms. Valant said. âThese are the main areas that you use to reach and lift and pull. If you can work to keep those mobile, you are going to help yourself with 90 percent of the activities that you do every day.â Mark Lauren, a fitness expert and former trainer for the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, said that in his own fitness routine, he methodically exercises the shoulders, spine, hips and legs, incorporating the full movement of each joint. This lets him work out quickly and efficiently to build strength and mobility. If you are actively working to develop a full range of motion for these body parts, he said, âeverything else tends to take care of itself.â hxNTOmVJE5vuFdJxsHy5NBQDBLxejrNBg6VsYmoZko8i4RAqMTtSdNJ7Ohmo2hcllr AMdliqt0k1SqC105SM8e0kN7PU9GCwHivNtI1SeyP7JuYltDhdEnREjelKaKyBXbjw TPEvKptScdMdnP9EqJRYLxBdio5LrECP2TsgEru3VVUHUxSwdTvLRlQ4li3BB82P79 8ajkQ6nPUPrrO5pqvrJTHQFJuCqyaaZHijv2CWKcqEnmaJETg0eUMfIjXaK7EYP64E S3lg5T5iYFpUr6Ed13rsQhB89MKKPriKKvMWEOpppPV0NQfkgN9hj9H6sBZ097543P DEgHfGNmyVSz1LEm80PRk0v4USt2447mvssO2tdyW2vK9FC3ZY1sLPFcrRVO4oOflF 6fCs6tTXbjDUF518UJi9hmsjK9HGBuupxeGrcwwERBhqOgP2i8NVJbmuKnzguebENz GPxV4K0EIZbPgvSB92VTMgcb71ZPbILbBvfcqkGyMBylthI5EtW18xlUb7ZzaaE8yv VnkNjLvtQtmWuQnbFWatjlpZATGpHACdq5mSjdoWpZbUGVh8e4hVDaKk0ldmzVBknq Dear Reader, Why was King Charles banned from COP27?
Joe Biden was there. John Kerry, too. Along with leaders from around the world, meeting to set the agenda for a $150 trillion plan to overhaul the world economy. But King Charles was barred from attending. Why was he banned? And what does COP27 mean for your money? According to former Goldman Sachs executive Nomi Prins, COP27 could be the biggest event of the year⦠And most folks have heard nothing about it. Nomi says, âBanning King Charles was likely about optics⦠because the event itself could ultimately move more money than the total value of the royal familyâs fortune.â In the months ahead, Nomiâs research shows weâll see a seismic shift that could change everything about life in America⦠from the way we eat to the way we travel and invest. Nothing will be left untouched. Most Americans will be confused as this plan rolls out⦠But Nomi has put together a free video to help Americans prepare beforehand. Many will find her revelations controversial, but Nomi insists sheâs not backing down from this message. [Click here to see Nomiâs shocking video before itâs too late.]( âIt was such a hilarious role reversal,â Fihn tells me when we meet for lunch in New York this fall, referring to all the times nuclear-disarmament activists have been outside the corridors of power. âNow, we were in the driverâs seat.â Fihn, 40, has been trying to shift these dynamics ever since she took the helm of the Geneva-based ICAN nearly a decade ago. In 2017, the charismatic Swedish lawyer was thrust into the spotlight when she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for ICANâs work to draw attention to the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and its efforts to establish the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Now ratified by 68 countries, mostly in the Global South, the ban treaty entered into force in January 2021âthe first international legally binding agreement to ban nuclear weapons and associated activities, from testing to development. However, since then, Fihn feels like things have backslid. Vladimir Putinâs threats have reminded the world that nuclear war is not just a Cold Warâera concern. In a March poll, 7 in 10 Americans said Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine increased the possibility of nuclear weapons being used anywhere. Polls in Poland and France reflected similar concerns. âThereâs so much happening and itâs hard to keep upâa lot of anxiety and awfulness,â Fihn says. Growing great-power competitionâfrom Kim Jong Unâs nuclear tests to Chinaâs rapidly expanding arsenalâraises the stakes for Western democracies, she argues. âNuclear weapons make us vulnerable to dictators that do not answer to their people.â Though Fihn announced in November that she would step down as ICANâs executive director at the end of January, she plans to remain involved and is optimistic about this moment, pointing to progress made after crises in the 1960s and 1980s when the world came to the brink of nuclear war. âPeople are talking about nuclear weapons more than they have since the â80s. We have to use this to build a bigger movementâto double or triple in sizeâso we can set the stage for when the war in Ukraine is over,â she says. âTomorrow just needs to be bigger than today.â Despite being one of the most visible faces of the disarmament movement, Fihn says she got into this field of work âa bit by mistake.â She grew up in a suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden, and recalls new classmates fleeing the war in the Balkans in the â90s. Learning more about that conflict led her to study international relations at college in Stockholm. Hoping to work in human rights, she was thrilled to get an internship in 2006 with the Womenâs International League for Peace and Freedom in Geneva. She was less pleased to discover the work would focus on nuclear weapons. âI thought it would be super boring, really old-school, irrelevant,â she says. 4uZz3enOf0QHRI140XGSVkfmK2bfLbF1A3vHVxWczsKGRlBELfgP2ctRU6QEqnih9Q bvuZXTfxopL3FrmYg9dQ1sZXNo5TTdwfSoCdxmULoKGpgPs1tomvSxwwqh6cVFWAxX kmX76osnFnkUNcoDuYqHz5u6QXPK3LFKTLrpkQfvsACKsO3occr6mYsD1Mgh5l7uGQ PYUQdv8yhue1d6HmjlveEFBr44wZmLUXtyt375rJVYqJ7Sp9jtgAQgmK93bXcY9O4M eLqo4n6wh7rsgAn825LgcsbWM6cCrjGzzxm2s0WjwY32Akpx5qJIDWb6kyFtYCuWnU gMljJuJLC8yfsGgU5cICwo8C7T8nJF7dGyo02KxWX5UW12HhRWWxsX5SfrjQx5hUFU 9pDEBIE4wm8yO3HdnQYqAJLEGDisRNm63q6WUDRDflVojAsMhzyh7WzmyAHK0h9drI QtYdQe11kDyjkdLnVv6w52msLXsl1ilXcI4wNVfhNjVbE7didf8kyxZVKplHKpyLod PJlz6db3b37cqnHn0ohv7HIeZLRPxXJZi0xv8RGtk3QQS6FYvk8MIJiNBorMGVGqG4 Regards, Maria Bonaventura
