International professional surfing coach and fitness trainer, Rokas Bakstys, has reimagined an ancient martial arts exercise regimen that delivers a high intensity workout with a low impact in as little as 5 minutes, using weighted ropes.

For centuries, martial arts has practiced a physical and mental exercise known as “Rope Flow,” using a chain whip or meteor hammer. Bakstys altered this relatively unknown Kung Fu routine with a weighted rope he imagined, bringing the same mental and physical endurance as the ancient exercise.

Bakstys says he always wanted to integrate Rope Flow into his surfing training routine but didn’t feel comfortable using a weapon with his clients. After he couldn’t find anything on the market, he recreated the physical and mental exercise using three different types of weighted ropes. He named it, Octomoves.

“Rope Flow is unique because it connects the mind and body together with an exercise that will leave you winded within the first 5 minutes of trying it,” said Bakstys. “Most training routines focus on either the body or the mind - one or the other - but rarely both. Rope Flow forces you to focus, while the weighted rope continually works your muscles.”

Bakstys says Rope Flow can also improve mobility and joint health, increase cardio, reduce anxiety and stress, and maintain cognitive function as people age. Each weighted rope comes with videos and training modules that demonstrate Rope Flow variations.

“You can benefit from these exercises with as little as 5 minutes a day,” said Bakstys. “But the more you play with it, the more you gain. If you are just starting your active lifestyle, start with as little as 5 minutes a day. And as you practice these exercises daily, your body will adapt, and you will see fast results.”

How Rope Flow Brings the Mind and Body Together

Octomoves put the muscles through a full range of motions that include extension, flexion, internal and external rotation. 

The classic figure-8 routine opens the hips and relieves tension in the middle back - areas that frequently stiffen over time. The exercise also activates the glutes and deep core that can relax after prolonged sitting.

Mental Focus

The Flow state requires users to concentrate on the rope while exercising, bringing a mental release of tension. As users enter the Flow state, Bakstys says they will experience a form of moving meditation, lifting their stress and anxiety. 

Cardio Factor

Users can choose the cardio intensity with Rope Flow, opting for either a slow and steady session or more high intensity intervals. And since users aren’t jumping up and down, it places minimal impact on the joints.

Cognitive Function

Learning any new challenging skill activates the brain and improves cognitive function. 

Bakstys says this cognitive function also applies with Rope Flow where users must learn a new exercise routine, while integrating patterns on a weighted rope. This attention to detail improves cognitive function as users practice and learn new movements.

“I’ve been using Octomoves with my personal clients, and they all say they feel instant benefits,” said Bakstys. “I also see how Rope Flow improves their coordination and mobility while their mind becomes more focused. It’s like a Zen state that strengthens the muscles while the mind focuses on the exercises.”

Geneva, Switzerland, September 13, 2021 -- Liti Capital SA, a Swiss-based litigation funding provider that has opened up private equity investing to the masses through blockchain technology, is launching staking for its wLITI token.

Starting on September 13, wLITI token holders will be able to stake their tokens and receive wLITI in return.

“Staking is a crucial tool to be attractive in the DeFi space and to reward our community for supporting us long term,” says Jonas Rey, Liti Capital’s co-founder.

Token holders can stake their tokens by heading to the Liti Capital app, on the Liti Capital website, connecting a compatible wallet and selecting staking. The product does not require holders to go through any know-your-customer (KYC) checks.

At launch there will be three options for users to stake their wLITI tokens:
- 4% APY for 30 days
- 6% APY for 60 days
- 9% APY for 90 days

Users will be able to withdraw their tokens whenever they need to. If a user decides they want to un-stake their tokens, instead of losing all the rewards, the system calculates how much interest the user has accumulated and issues the relevant amount back to the token holder.

“The community is one of the most important factors in the success of blockchain projects,” says Jaime Delgado, Liti Capital’s chief technology officer.

“The staking program is one of the mechanisms by which the community is rewarded for its fidelity to the project and at the same time reduces the market share of wLiti in circulation which is beneficial for both the holders of wLiti and the company,” Delgado continues.

More information on the staking program can be found at: https://liticapital.medium.com/liti-capital-launches-staking-rewards-61fef8437317

Liti Capital is spearheading an arbitration lawsuit on behalf of a group of traders who lost millions of dollars of trades on 19 May 2021 when Binance inexplicably froze their accounts for approximately one hour.

It is believed that this case - the first ever group action case in the crypto sector - will be a landmark event in defining how organisations operating in the sector behave and treat their customers.

Since the company’s launch in early 2021, it has raised USD 19 million to secure assets of up to USD 200 million, which if successful, will pay out a dividend to token holders.

About Liti Capital:
Switzerland-based Liti Capital is a Swiss limited liability company specializing in litigation finance and fintech. Liti Capital buys litigation assets to fund lawsuits and provides a complete strategic solution along with connections to top law firms to help clients win their cases. Tokenized shares of the company lower the barrier of entry for retail investors and give token holders a vote in the company’s decision-making process. Dividends are distributed to LITI token holders upon the success of the plaintiff. Jonas Rey, co-founder of Liti Capital, also heads Athena Intelligence, one of the most successful intelligence agencies in Switzerland. His two co-founders, Andy Christen and Jaime Delgado, bring operational, innovation and technical skills to round out the leadership team.

Liti Capital recently onboarded seasoned industry leader David Kay as chief information officer and executive chairman. Boasting more than a decade of experience as funding partner and portfolio manager of a billion-dollar private equity fund in the litigation financing space, Kay successfully enforced what was at the time the largest international arbitration award in history, bringing in over $1 billion in cash and securities.

AMCA's bold pro-American quality certification program challenges ISO's foreign standards in the U.S. marketplace.

Boston, MA - USA | September 13, 2021 -- In memory of 9/11, on the 20th anniversary of one of America's darkest days, AMCA announced launch of its new pro-American quality certification program at http://www.amcacert.com

Founded by Donald LaBelle, AMCA was developed as a customized quality certification exclusively for U.S. based manufacturers, machine shops, distributors and other industrial suppliers. The certification comes at a much needed time as fake ISO certificates are flooding the market overshadowing legitimate ISO registrations.

According to LaBelle ISO certificates are easily faked because there is a serious lack of true oversight. Any unethical person or seedy organization can legally print up ISO certifications of any standard, slap on bogus accreditation seals, and sell them like candy to naive businesses,” said LaBelle.

“I've seen numerous manufacturers using fake ISO certificates they purchased online without meeting any of ISO's compliance guidelines,” said LaBelle. He added, “It was shocking to see even numerous federal government contractors landing multi-million dollar contracts using an ISO certificate they purchased online from a mail order 'certificate mill.' They literally received the certificate overnight.”

AMCA was not established to replace ISO certification as the they are different standards that compliment each other. AMCA focuses on revitalizing the U.S. manufacturing sector and increasing the global competitiveness of American made products. Whereas ISO certification is based on 'international standards' with no preference to the United States. In contrast, AMCA is boldly pro-American adapting the 'Buy American Act' into its standards, among other requirements for certification.

US-based manufacturers, machine shops, distributors and other industrial suppliers can submit an application for certification at https://amcacert.com/get-quality-certified/

About AMCA:

AMCA (American Made Customer Accredited) is the first pro-American quality certification for the U.S. manufacturing sector. Being AMCA certified ensures your company is recognized for quality and integrity independent of ISO's foreign certification schemes. Companies certified to AMCA standards are over-seen and accredited by their own customers... making AMCA the only truly impartial accreditation in quality certification. AMCA is the 'Gold Standard' of American quality in the manufacturing sector.

Companies that qualify can apply for certification at http://www.amcacert.com

In July 2021, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted to retain the US Care Labeling Rule for apparel and certain textile goods.

In July 2020, the FTC had voted to propose a repeal of the US Care Labeling Rule, which had been in effect since 1971. The rule requires manufacturers and importers of garments and some textile goods to attach a label that provides clear and accurate care instructions covering dry cleaning or washing, bleaching, drying and ironing.

The FTC’s consultation received over 200 comments, the majority of which opposed the repeal. Individuals and small business objected because consumers rely on these labels to extend the lives of their clothes. Manufacturing and cleaning businesses stated the removal of these labels would also increase the likelihood that items would be damaged in cleaning, thus exposing them to unnecessary liability.

The FTC periodically reviews the Care Labeling Rule to ensure it remains up to date with new developments and continues to provide useful information to consumers. It also considers ways to improve rule requirements to the benefit of US consumers and businesses.
