id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Peace Inside Live cofounder Jordana Reim teaches a class on breathwork and sound healing on the platform. Peace Inside Live [/tech-for-a-better-world/ This story is part of Tech for a Better World, stories about the diverse teams creating products, apps and services to improve our lives and society.]Last Friday afternoon, instead of spending my lunch break glued to my kitchen table eating a sad salad, I found myself dancing in a frenzy around my house, joined by about 15 others unselfconsciously doing the same on a Zoom call. We threw our arms in the air and spun around -- some in workout clothes, some in dresses, some with dogs in their arms. It wasn't a quarantine-induced simultaneous breakdown, but a live yoga and movement class called Rhythm & Prana Flow. The class is part of [ Peace Inside Live], an online platform born during the pandemic that offers daily, live, donation-based Zoom sessions with facilitators from around the world, focusing on mindfulness, meditation and movement. The goal is to make wellness accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation or location. [ ] "There's always been a barrier to entry in the wellness industry, and we've realized that and want to be part of the solution, not the problem," said cofounder Shira Lazar, who is also founder and CEO of the digital media brand [ What's Trending]. "We realize how important it is to provide these tools to everyone." Since Peace Inside Live started at the end of April, about 4,000 people have attended its virtual classes. Class sizes range from intimate groups of a few students to more than 100 people. When you take a class, you'll likely meet people from all over the world, and will learn from the community that forms as well as from the facilitator. "We have this opportunity with the pandemic to make big change," said cofounder Jordana Reim, a former ad executive and producer who became a [http://www.reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=yoga%20teacher yoga teacher] and healing trainer. "If we're just waiting for things to be normal again, we're missing the opportunity to question how each of us have been living, and what's perhaps missing. And practices of mindfulness can bring us to a place where we can take an honest but loving look into ourselves." CNET Coronavirus Update Keep track of the coronavirus pandemic. Daily classes for a donation Lazar and Reim have known each other for about 15 years, across different careers and stages of life. When the pandemic hit, Reim had been hosting wellness retreats in places like Thailand and Mount Everest, which were no longer an option. She decided to try moving those retreat sessions online to see if they could still be beneficial without the in-person connection. Lazar attended one, and the two decided to collaborate on making a daily platform. "The whole idea was to create peace inside, literally and figuratively," Lazar said. You can find live classes on Peace Inside Live every day. Offerings include different types of meditation, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tua du lịch thái lan] breathing, movement, healing through sound, and studying happiness through the ancient Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita. There are also yoga and other workshops. When you take a live class, you can donate directly to the facilitator through Venmo or PayPal. Facilitators often suggest a donation of $5 to $20 per class, and keep 100% of their earnings from their classes. You can also donate to access on-demand monthly classes. The average monthly donation is $15. While this payment model may change in the future, for now, it's been working to build a community, Lazar said. "We want to see what works for people, and we want to be sensitive and aware of people's needs and ability to pay for this," she added. The founders also work with corporations on wellness activities. For every hour they work with a for-profit company on a virtual session, they donate an hour to a nonprofit, like the [ Boys and Girls Clubs of America], [ Miry's List] and [ Thirst Project], bringing mindfulness to those teams that often have many frontline workers. On the Peace Inside Live platform, you can take live classes on meditation and movement for a donation. Peace Inside Live Founding an inclusive community Many people in the wellness community have come under fire for [ whitewashing practices and excluding people of color], both in terms of facilitators and class participants, Lazar said. She and Reim are aware of their white privilege, she added, and have worked to make diversity part of the platform's DNA, rather than trying to make changes later. Facilitators and participants are located around the world, and the founders consistently reach out to BIPOC organizations and leaders to work together and ask how to support their own efforts, Lazar said. Part of this work has involved Sunday Peace Inside Live Conversations, with people including Thupten Jinpala (the Dalai Lama's translator and founder of The Compassion Institute). The week [ ] was killed by police, the platform began hosting twice-monthly discussions called The Other America, facilitated by Lazar and the influencer [ James Andrews]. These events are meant to provide a safe space for uncomfortable conversations around racism, social injustice and police brutality with storytellers, healers and activists.

These sessions start with a meditation and turn into a conversation and call to action. "What we have is a global community of people who are taking this look inside and making changes to take skillful action in this world," Reim said. "It's not even a new normal, but creating a world together where we're connected and where we have compassion."

2021 Triumph Trident Looks Like The Ticket For Triple Lovers On A Budget - Roadshow

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Triumph's Trident promises to be a fun and affordable entrance into the world of three-cylinder European motorcycles. Triumph A three-cylinder motorcycle is a special and generally uncommon thing. It offers the benefits of both a twin and an inline-four but has a sound and character all its own. This is especially true of the legendary [/tags/triumph/ Triumph] triples. We at Roadshow are fans of the format too -- [ my first bike was a Tiger 800], and Tim Stevens has had a long-term love affair with his Speed Triple. The problem, though, historically, has been that if you wanted to live the triple life, you had to lay out a fair chunk of change to do so, but that seems to be [http://www.superghostblogger.com/?s=changing changing]. Enter the Triumph Trident. For more like this Subscribe to the Roadshow newsletter, receive notifications and see related stories on CNET. The 2021 Triumph Trident takes the name of the brand's first three-cylinder model and repurposes it for what will be not only its most affordable bike but also its most beginner-friendly triple ever. The Trident is interesting because it gets its own bespoke 660-cc engine that shares architecture with the brand's other offerings, but features 67 unique parts not shared with any other model. This power plant offers up a respectable but not intimidating 80 horsepower and 47 pound-feet of torque. The bike's ultraflat torque curve should go a long way towards making the Trident easy and fun to ride. The Trident gets a six-speed gearbox with a slip-assist clutch. It has a nonadjustable Showa front suspension and a rear shock that's adjustable for preload, which, while basic, should do the job just fine. There are dual brake calipers up front from Nissin, and while they aren't overly flashy, they should work perfectly well on a bike that only weighs 415 pounds wet. With its bulldog stance and low-slung exhaust, nothing about the Trident's looks says "entry-level." [http://www.guardian.co.uk/search?q=Triumph Triumph] Being a modern Triumph, there are plenty of rider aids to make the bike even more new-rider-friendly. There's ABS and traction control, though the motorcycle lacks an inertial measurement unit, or IMU, so it's not technically "lean-sensitive." That shouldn't be too big a deal since Triumph calibrates its systems to work at full lean and then works back from there. The Trident gets a single digital gauge pod with a black and white tach, speed and gear indicator on the top half and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] a small, full-color TFT screen in the bottom that can be used to change settings, display music and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] phone information, or even show turn-by-turn directions. It's a neat piece of packaging, and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] it's nice to see on a bike at the bottom of the range. So, all that sounds good, right? The elephant in the room remains the price, but Triumph seems to have nailed this too. The 2021 Trident is set to go on sale in January for $7,995. For some perspective, that's cheaper than [/roadshow/news/2020-honda-cb650r-first-ride-review/ Honda's CB650R], and only a few hundred dollars more than both the [ Yamaha MT-07] and [ Kawasaki Z650]. With pricing like this, it's hard to see the Trident as anything but a serious statement of intent and a shot across the bow of the Japanese brands that have historically controlled the bottom end of the market. Now, unsurprisingly, at this price, the Trident won't be built in the UK. Instead, it will be produced at Triumph's wholly owned factory in Thailand, but that's no bad thing. The overall quality of the machines built there is high, as with all modern Triumphs. The Trident is set to hit dealers in the US towards the end of January 2021, and we're already looking forward to getting some quality seat time on what could be one of the most exciting beginner-friendly [/roadshow/motorcycles/ motorcycles] to come out in a while.
