Many standard programs with strength exercises are categorically not suitable for ectomorph people due to their physiological characteristics. Those who tend to be thin have a harder time gaining muscle mass than those who tend to be overweight. That is why ectomorphs should adhere to special complexes that will rid the body of general disharmony, and also develop muscles effectively and efficiently. Who are ectomorphs? The concept of “ectomorph” includes both men and women - those who are naturally slender and have long, thin, and rather weak limbs. As a rule, such people have a very fast metabolism, which is why muscle fibers do not increase, but...

Strength training is contraindicated for women, as it leads to increased muscle mass and give the figure a bulky, masculine outline.

Greenpeace and WWF believe that the adoption of a new law amending some points of the Forest Code will threaten about 50 million hectares of forest located along rivers and lakes. This is due to the fact that the new document defines new boundaries of the spawning forest zone. If previously they were a kilometer long, now the width of such plantings should be from 50 to 200 meters. Such plantings are designed to protect certain species of fish that come to coastal areas to spawn. Reduction of forest area and industrial harvesting in areas that were removed from the spawning protection zone will cause...

Last week, at the Nerpa shipyard in the Murmansk region, they began cutting out the first canisters with spent fuel assemblies (SFAs) from the storage facilities of the former Lepse PTB. The Lepse bow pack is ready to be moved to the Shelter at the Nerpa shipyard. In September 2012, the former floating technical base (PTB) Lepse was towed to the pier of the Nerpa plant. The formed feed block package was sent for storage to Saida Bay in the fall of 2016. The two storage tanks of the Lepse (a motor ship built in 1934) contain 639 spent fuel assemblies, some of which are damaged. Most SFAs (620 pcs.) are placed in canisters, and 19 pcs.…
