RUMBLE AT THE FORT
RUMBLE AT THE FORT
Hi all this year, for Rumble, I aim to help you climb stronger, descend safer, and move more confidently on hikes. We’ll keep our 4 core stations — feet and calves, engine, climbing strength, and downhill control — so you can actually feel progress over the weeks, not just get through a workout! **Meeting Place:** as seen in the image (Right next to Old Hill Street Police Station; opposite Funan) Accessible via different MRT lines and bus stops 3 min walk from Clarke Quay Stn Exit E **Duration:** 1.5h **Level:** Intermediate (and for those serious about training for AU trips) **What to expect:** 1. Warm-up & dynamic stretching 2. Stamina, Stability and Single Leg strengthening exercises with Stairs/Steps :) 3. Jogging/briskwalking between stations **Items to bring/wear** * comfortable sports attire and appropriate shoes * (Arm-length) Towel and water bottle * Most of us will be carrying our bags as part of hike training (you can choose to leave them in your car if you’re driving or bring a small bag) Make sure you are able to run with your bag! (e.g. BACKPACK do not bring a sling bag) **Note:** * In the event of wet weather, the event will be cancelled. However, if it is just a light drizzle, we may still proceed with caution or head to AU office for Signature Indoor Workout. * If you will be late or unable to make it, please inform me in advance (WA +6597318648) or update your RSVP by 8 p.m. the night before so that I can inform the next person on the waitlist. * We’re capping this at **20 pax per session** so it stays focused and manageable. * Priority will go to 2026 AU trip participants and Elite AU club members. If there are slots left, it will be given to members of the publi.c If you’re on the waitlist, it may not move strictly in order as trip participants are prioritised. We will start on time so come at least 5 minutes earlier! If you’ve done Rumble before, you already know what this is about. If you haven’t — come try once. You’ll either love it or hate me slightly.

Changi Airport to Stadium MRT Station - 20 KM (Sun)
Changi Airport to Stadium MRT Station - 20 KM (Sun)
We shall brisk walk from Changi Airport to Stadium MRT Station late afternoon till night time for 2 consecutive days on Saturday and Sunday. For those who like to join us next year April to South Korea - Jeju Island Olle Trail to brisk walk 100 KM in 5 days plus climbing Mount Hallasan 1947m plus City Tour. We need minimum 12 hikers to go, max 16 hikers. In August and November, we can do 3 consecutive days. You may train with us even if you are not going for the trip. Do consider to give yourself a break and build up your stamina, endurance and your hraalth. Interval Walk Training (IWT)—alternating fast-paced walking with slow, recovery-paced walking—is a highly effective, low-impact workout that improves cardiovascular fitness, boosts metabolism, and strengthens muscles. It is superior to steady walking for lowering blood pressure, improving aerobic capacity, reducing visceral fat, and enhancing insulin sensitivity. **Key Health Benefits of Interval Walk Training (IWT):** * **Improved Cardiovascular Health:** IWT strengthens the heart and enhances blood circulation by raising and lowering the heart rate, similar to a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session. * **Superior Metabolic Control:** It is particularly effective for managing blood sugar and increasing insulin sensitivity, making it ideal for managing or preventing type 2 diabetes. * **Weight Management & Metabolism:** The "afterburn effect" from high-intensity intervals continues to burn calories after the workout ends, aiding in fat loss. * **Increased Aerobic Capacity & Physical Fitness:** Studies indicate that switching paces consistently improves overall stamina and endurance better than continuous walking. * **Muscle & Bone Strengthening:** It strengthens the legs and core, while improving bone density, which is crucial for preventing osteoporosis in older adults. * **Improved Mental Health:** It aids in stress reduction, improves sleep quality, boosts energy, and elevates mood through the release of endorphins. * **Accessible and Sustainable:** The training is low-risk and highly adaptable to various fitness levels, making it popular for improving longevity and mobility in adults over 60. https://www.brownhealth.org/be-well/interval-walking-health-benefits-japanese-walking-method Date: 5 July 2026 (Sun) Registration Time: 4.30 p.m. Start Time: 4.45 p.m. Start point: Changi Airport MRT Station (Green Line) T2 Arrival Hall waiting area near to Swensen restaurant.

Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?
Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?
**Delaying age-related diseases: Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?** Distinguished Professor Barry Halliwell host: Kamil Pabis, PhD, co-organized by VIVA foundation As we sit in this room, we are all breathing oxygen (O2), a gas essential for life for efficient energy production from our food. Yet oxygen has a dark side; some of it makes reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as oxygen radicals, which can damage our body tissues, a factor that contributes to age-related diseases, especially dementia. ROS are not all bad, they help protect against infectious disease via the process of acute inflammation (keeping us alive) yet as we age inflammation isn’t controlled properly and the extra ROS cause more damage that contributes to age-related diseases. ROS levels in the body are controlled by antioxidants, many of which we make ourselves but others come from the diet. Most attention has been paid to vitamins C and E, polyphenols and carotenoids. Consuming diets rich in these compounds correlates with better health, but high doses of them as pure compounds in supplements have had little effect in delaying dementia and other age-related diseases in properly-controlled human clinical trials; supplements cannot replace the effects of a good diet. Interpreting correlational studies as causation is often done, but fraught with danger. In the past ten years we have studied a diet-derived antioxidant that has been almost totally ignored, namely ergothioneine (ET). It is found in many foods, but the major source is mushrooms. Our work has demonstrated that ET is likely very important in maintaining brain health and delaying or preventing dementia and other age-related disease, and pilot clinical trials support this. Evidence is growing that ET is a “longevity vitamin” to support healthy ageing, but rigorous clinical trials are needed to prove this. Its effectiveness may be due to its many additional mechanisms to protect our organs, in addition to acting as an antioxidant. FOOD AND CATERING This event is kindly supported by AVEA. https://avea-life.com/ Please come hungry to enjoy the healthy food! LOCATION 6:45 pm SGT **VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer** 8 Sinaran Drive, #03-01 VIVA Hub, Novena Specialist Center, Singapore 307470

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
