~ knjohn ~ Leave a comment

We are way past the dogma that a toned body is only meant for men. It is common seeing women working out in the gym and doing squats, benching, or deadlifting.

Workout plan for women today includes heavy weightlifting, women have demonstrated their power of determination.

If you rewind a couple of decades, you would have hardly seen any women hitting the gym or doing workouts. The gym rooms were filled with men with buffed bodies, and the gym routine for women was limited to cardio workout sessions.

Why? Because it was believed that a heavy workout schedule for women would turn them into, she-hulk.

What is Chargeback Fraud? | Small Business Trends

~ knjohn ~ Leave a comment

A chargeback happens when a payment is reversed by the customer’s bank. It’s called chargeback fraud when bad actors cheat this process. Instead of contacting a merchant for a refund, they go right to their financial institution.

There are three types.

  • Criminal Credit Card Fraud Chargebacks. A criminal steals a card and makes purchases. And they try to get money back.
  • Friendly Fraud Claims. The card owner buys something and then files for a chargeback anyway.
  • Merchant Errors. This one happens with a merchant account. They show up on a statement when a customer doesn’t get something they paid for. They happen due to processing errors, accidental duplicate charges, and charges for canceled subscriptions.

Do you like to cook? Even if you don’t fancy yourself much of a chef (and yes, I know that term is reserved for professionals — just go with it), there’s something about being able to spice up a premade jar of marinara sauce or hit just that perfect spice combination to take a dinner from run-of-the-mill to extraordinary. Who says you can’t eat great on a Thursday night?

Fresh ingredients are the key to great dinners. As I’ve said before, I’m a fan of smart gardens. If you live somewhere without a lot of space or you just don’t think you can keep plants alive, smart gardens take the guesswork out of it for you. When Gardyn reached out and offered me the chance to test out their Gardyn 2.0, I jumped at the chance. This thing is massive — it can hold 30 plants and basically does all the work for me. All I have to do is sit back and reap the rewards.

Well, mostly.

ONE BY ONE, 10 grinning people walk into a room, elbows bent and forearms outstretched as they curtsy slightly to show the camera what they’re carrying. The first is holding a board laden with potato-and-pastry-based beige treats; the second appears with a board full of scattered chips and a few jars of dip. The third person is also holding a board—this time featuring slices of pizza.

The fourth person’s board has wings, the seventh’s is an artfully arranged rainbow of candy, and the ninth’s has the most recognizable board fodder: meat and cheese. This is a TikTok of 21-year-old Rayann Prophet’s “board night,” also known as a “bring a board” night—which is exactly what it sounds like.

~ knjohn ~ Leave a comment

Tesla reported Wednesday reported revenue of $21.45 billion in the third quarter, another record-setting period that still missed analysts expectations.

Tesla also cited a strengthening dollar as another factor in its third quarter results.
