Firstly, motorized bicycle kits help to reduce the effort of pedalling that one must do and therefore, reduce physical exertion. The faster you travel on a motorized bicycle, the greater the cooling effect you receive from the wind as well, which also reduces the amount you perspiration. This is essential, particularly when you want to ride your motorized bike to work or to an event or function where your appearance is important.

There are several factors that contribute to the increased use of bicycle engines nowadays. Firstly, people are becoming more concerned about the environment. With the use of bicycle engines, pollution can be largely reduced. Secondly, using a bicycle engine is a lot cheaper as opposed to using other forms of transportation. Thirdly, there is a wide selection of bicycle engine kits to choose from. One can freely choose a specific engine kit for a particular need and preference.

There are a number of things that you need to keep in mind when installing a gas powered bicycle kit. It is essential to remember never to modify the mounting equipment or mounting angles for the motor. Any changes will cause the motor to go off balance and lead to a very unstable and wobbly ride and can even throw an individual from the gas powered bicycle completely. If your gas powered bicycle kit has a kill switch, this particular component needs to be grounded properly which entails taking off a small amount of paint from your gas powered bicycle where the kill switch is located. It is very important for one to check and confirm the clearance and mounting of all the moving parts which includes the belts and gears. Finally, feel free to take your time and carry out the installation with the help of the suitable tools. A rushed assembly or installation on your gas powered bicycle can lead to a dangerous situation and using incorrect tools for the job can damage certain parts and make the installation job unnecessary difficult.

Hello beautiful people!
I hope you all had wonderful weekend's, and that you're spending this lovely Sunday relaxing!
Today I thought I'd share a make up look that I've been wearing A LOT lately.
Now, I love a winged eye and fake lashes as much as the next girl, it's such an edgy and sexy look, but sometimes I really love wearing this kind of buffed out, soft and romantic look that makes me feel super pretty and feminine.
This is a look I really love to wear when I want to feel super girly and really just enhance my natural features. My sister refers to this as "looking like a Fairy" whenever I do this look for her, because it's just soft and sparkly and really beautiful.
I also figured that Valentine's Day is coming up, and this would be a great look to wear out with your partner, or on a first date or even if you're just hanging with your girlfriends ( or really just anytime, because it is so gorgeous).
For my Complexion I used:
– Becca blacklight Priming Filter to give my skin that radiant "lit from within" look. (This is just a sample but I love it and will definitely be picking up the full size)
– My trusty Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation in the shade 0.5
– Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade 1 Fair for blemishes and redness
– My holy grail Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer in the shade fair/neutral for under the eyes
– L'Oréal Infallable pro-matte powder through my t-zone to prevent shine
All of these products together make my skin look healthy and glowing without looking like I have a tonne of make up on.
For brow's I used:
– Benefit Ka-brow in number 2 to create my something from nothing eyebrows
– Benefit Gimme Brow in the shade light to define the hairs that are there and all a bit of volume
These babies have changed my brow game hard! Benefit has really upped their brow products and I am so impressed.
To bring a bit of life to my face I used:
– Burberry Earthy Blush in the shade Light Glow to contour my cheekbones
– Charlotte Tilbury Film Star Bronze and Glow in the shade light to add some warmth and glow to my skin
– Clinique blush in Peach Pop on the apples of my cheeks to add a girly and healthy pink flush to my skin
For my eyes I used:
– Urban Decay Primer Potion to prep my lids
– Urban Decay & Gwen Stefani eye shadow Palette
(Swatches from left to right : Pop, Bath Water, Steady, Anaheim, Zone and Punk)
I used steady all over the lid, with Anaheim and Zone buffed into the crease, outer corner and under my eyes. I patted a bit of Pop into the center of the eyelid to add a bit of glitter, and I used Bathwater to highlight the brow bone and inner corners of my eyes. Finally, I used Punk along my lash line to make my lashes look thick and add a bit of definition.
– For mascara I used Maybelline Lash Sensational and of course my Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara
Finally for lips I used:
– Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil in the shade Sable which is a really pretty rosey pink shade
The finished look!! I love wearing this so much!
Let me know in the comments what kind of look you love to wear to feel pretty and girly.
That's all for now my loves,
Until next time, xoxo

listening comprehension drills for numbers?
I find that I am often unable to understand numbers in Chinese, and I think it would be useful to have some kind of software that provided drills. I want to train myself to be able to hear a number and write it down immediately. My idea is that it would work something like this.
1. The comupter reads aloud some number
2. The user types the number in numeral format
3. The computer reveals the correct answer.
I would want to be able to select ranges of numbers up to the billlions, and also have some random drills with percentages, units of currency, ratios, etc. Of course, the more it could be customized or randomized the better. It would be really great if there were other listening exercises such as fill in the blank were a speaker using a normal pace of speech is giving some information with lots of numeric descriptions. I am sure I am not the first person to think of this, but so far I have not found anything by searching the web. Also, even if I had some sort of flashcard program for creating cards, I don't want to ask a Chinese friend to please make recordings of all the numbers from 1 to 100 billion for me! Any ideas?

Milestone man Nic Naitanui ready to fly
Posted on 01/24/19 6:23 PM
West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui is 100 per cent certain his best footy is ahead of him, and says he won't let the unrelenting criticism throw him off his game.
Naitanui will reach his 100-game milestone on Saturday when he lines up for the Eagles in their crunch clash with Gold Coast at Patersons Stadium.
The 24-year-old has polarised opinions since making his debut in 2009.
For some, Naitanui's abilities and unrivalled athleticism make him one of the game's most valuable players.
For others, the 201cm ruckman is an over-hyped hulk who still struggles to read the game.
AFL greats Matthew Lloyd, Brad Hardie, Tony Shaw and Garry Lyon have been particularly critical of Naitanui this year.
But after finally shaking off the effects of a lingering groin issue, Naitanui has regained his mojo in recent weeks, and is confident his resurgence will continue to gain momentum over the coming years.
"I don't really pay too much attention to it," Naitanui said of the criticism.
"I know what I need to do internally and what we need to do on the field. Outside distractions aren't a big thing in my life.
"I'm quite happy to say my best footy is ahead of me.
"I'm still growing and ageing, and just getting the feel of my body and how it works and what it can handle.
"I'm getting to a lot more contests. I'm going for my grabs again as well.
"That confidence is building with more game time and more fitness."
Naitanui's finest year to date came in 2012 when he won All-Australian honours.
But his career stalled in 2013 when he was grounded by a serious groin injury, with the issue also affecting the early part of his 2014 campaign.
The Eagles took a gamble late last month when they re-signed Naitanui on a five-year deal believed to be worth in the vicinity of $4 million.
But the early signs are good, with Naitanui stringing a number of solid performances together since putting pen to paper.
West Coast (4-7) sit three wins outside the top-eight after losing seven of their past eight games.
But Naitanui isn't giving up hope of tasting finals action this year.
"We still want to make finals. We still look towards that," Naitanui said.
"I wouldn't say it's do or die (against the Suns), but at the same time we really need to win it."

The wrench worked as advertised, how could it not. However, I ordered the wrench after watching the Atlantic British video with Doug thinking that the space behind the fan required the thin wrench Doug used. I could have used a large Crescent wrench to do the job. Check your installation and available wrenches before ordering.

First time using an actual fan clutch wrench, made swapping out a water pump on my P38 so much easier. It's a nice quality, heavy piece, that worked great.

I read a few forum threads of people struggling to take the fan off, and I have to say that this tool makes the difference. What took others 30+ minutes, I was finished with in 30 seconds.

This wrench is made out of quality steel and is sturdy enough to not bend when force is applied PLUS it is coated in a quality paint to keep rust at bay for many years of use. It came in handy to remove and replace my fan clutch. The fit on the nut was perfect. The addition of a 1/2 ratchet hole in the handle made it easier to apply more torque if necessary. Mine came off pretty easily despite the nut looking as though it had been hammered on with a chisel or sawed on with a hacksaw. The threads on the water pump were not harmed by that action. Quality tools always make a job easier.

text: I have had the pleasure of working with Kinsman Swim twice now. Joanna is amazing to work with always on top of her game. Our first shoot was at the lobster wharfs in Portland, ME. Which was amazing, being able to shoot with all the different textures and feels of the wharf gave the images so much feeling. The lobsterman didn't mind us shooting a bikini series much at all. I added a few shots from our first shoot at the end of the gallery. This shoot was the first swim shoot I have done in the dead of winter. I love working with Joanna because she isn't afraid to break the norm, which makes for very interesting shoots. I hope you enjoys these and be sure to check out Kinsman Swims website.

The world of The Surge offers a very grim vision of the future, where the evolution of our technology, our society and our relation with the environment led to a decadent state of the Human civilization. The Surge features innovative combat mechanics and an original character progression system based on modular upgrades gained through tight, visceral combat.
Players will delve into The Surge's industrial, near-future Earth setting, which tackles issues of environmental destruction, corporatism, and misuse of technology relevant to our own world. Taking control of the exo-suited Warren, players will explore rich, secret-filled environments and venture deep into the heart of tech company CREO's devastated facility – all while battling crazed employees with fried cranial implants and the robots have gone haywire.
Using the limb-based targeting system, players can exploit enemies' weaknesses – though as Deck13's Thorsten Lange states, "the same rules apply for the enemies." Positioning is of the utmost importance, and even the smallest misstep can end in death. Warren isn't an "overpowered superhero", and combat animations were given credibility through extensive motion capture sessions with a stuntman, resulting in combat that feels weighty and satisfying.
The Surge was developed by Deck 13 and published by Focus Home Interactive – arriving 16 May on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Approval Status:
Approved December 1997
Specific Treatments:
Therapeutic Areas
MusculoskeletalRheumatologyFamily Medicine
Arthritis and Arthritic Pain
Arthrotec has been approved as a treatment for arthritis pain.
It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (diclofenac sodium) that is
coated with misoprostol (for protection against stomach ulcer).
Because of the misoprostol coating, Arthrotec is reported to
carry a reduced risk of causing ulcers in the stomach and small
intestine compared to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories alleviate arthritis pain by
inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the affected joint,
but they also reduce prostaglandin synthesis in the
gastrointestinal lining, leading to increased risk of ulcer
formation. Misoprostol fights ulcer formation by reducing the
secretion of stomach acid and boosting mucus production.

The aides who worked in the Spitzer administration may have called it the "haunted...
The aides who worked in the Spitzer administration may have called it the "haunted house" but don't tell that to the advocates planning a marathon sleepover/protest at the Capitol Building.
A variety of advocacy organizations upset with the tentative state budget agreement set to be voted on later this week will stage a "sleepover" in the Capitol to protest budget cuts.
The groups are upset that the $132.5 billion spending plan, which includes deep cuts to education aid and health-care, doesn't include a tax on those making $1 million or more.
From a news release:
Hundreds of New Yorkers, unhappy with the budget agreement presented to the Legislature will protest at the Capitol on Wednesday. The groups, representing a broad coalition, will being camping-in all night at the Capitol to bear witness to the votes on this painful budget that includes huge cuts for children, families, seniors, schools and communities combined with a $4.6 billion tax cut for the wealthiest three percent of New Yorkers. The budget also fails to proactively renew and strengthen the rent laws, a sign that the State Legislature is more concerned with pandering to real estate interests than protecting the millions of New Yorkers who depend on these laws to stay in their homes.
And for "visuals" the groups promise: "Hundreds of New Yorkers. Signs. Chanting. Folk Songs. Marshmallows."
Among those participating include the Alliance for Quality Education, Citizen Action of New York, New York City Coalition for Educational Justice, Long Island Progressive Coalition, Make the Road New York, New York Communities for Change, VOCAL, PUSH-Buffalo, Right to the City New York, Real Rent Reform New York, Community Voices Heard, New Deal for New York, The Save Our SUNY Coalition, Strong Economy for All, Growing Together New York Coalition, VOICE Buffalo.
The group plans to start at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday and continue with demonstrations over cuts to SUNY, K-12 education and concerns over rent regulations.
It's unclear where in the Capitol the camp out will take place.

Happy New Years everyone
I hope everyone had a safe and fun celebration. I had fun and a laugh but not the night I had planned. Last night my friend Ashlee came to my house at 6:30. We tested out the pizza maker I got for Christmas from my mum and it was amazing. At 8:50 we went to Dandenong to watch the fireworks then we were going to Daveys afterwards. At Dandenong as I got out of my car, Ashlee was shutting the boot when she hit her head on it and started bleeding. After we watched the fireworks, we were off to Frankston Hospital, unexpectedly the emergency department was dead. We were in and out in 56 minutes. Ashlee had a cut, headache and a concussion. We took a selfie from the hospital with Ashlee's big ass band aid to wish everyone Happy New Year.
Then we went home and I was in bed by 11:30. We had a few laughs. I am not having a good run with carers firstly when I was stuck upstairs at Hoyts with a new carer then this. We always have a laugh about the situations.
This is why I want to talk to you about this. In bed I was just thinking about things when I had a horrible thought. Did I really do the right thing hiring Ashlee? The two things she has done wrong - are cancel a shift 3 weeks ago because she were sick (she really was sick), she still came over for a chat and last night when she hit her head. Both incidents were accidents it wasn't her intention to let me down. Apart from these 2 incidents, Ashlee has been great. Despite this for a second I doubt myself. My next breathe I was more angry and upset at myself for thinking that even for a spilt second. While others like Stuart's family would love to have Stuart back, I was a bit disappointed I didn't make it out for New Year Eve because of a freak accident. Stuart is a mate of mine who died of cancer 2 and half years ago. He left a wife and 2 kids behind. Also I know someone else who died last month from cancer. Julia Waston left a husband and 4 kids behind including a disabled kid. She wrote a book about her battle with cancer. You should check it out:
The truly sad part is that I never believed I made the wrong choice, it was just a thought which popped up in my head. If someone like me who truly has an amazing life can have thoughts which I don't believe in. It makes me think about the people who are really struggling or who have a mental health illness and what they might be dealing with. You can never put yourself in someone else's shoes. You never can totally understand someone's history, feelings and thoughts. We can try our best to understand what problems someone is going through and try to help them.
If you are going through something it is completely fine to ask for some help. You may be able to talk to a close family member or friend while others feel more comfortable talking to complete strangers. Otherwise you can get some professional help.

It's day 3 of my Joik advent calendar 2017* and today I got Joik Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil in Raspberry Bon Bon (50ml).
This smells amazing! I'm a huge fan of sweet, fruity scents and this definitely ticks that box. I was intrigued by the concept of a shower oil as it's not something I've used before. The idea with this is you use it in place of shower gel but because it's an oil it should leave your skin feeling soft and moisturised. The directions say to apply to wet skin, lather, and rinse. I used this in the shower and I struggled with it. Firstly it is very runny and I somehow managed to splash some in my eye! Aside from my clumsiness, I just couldn't seem to get this to lather. I imagined it might turn to a milky lightly foamed consistency but it didn't seem to do anything other than act as an oil. It felt nice and my skin felt soft and moisturised afterwards so it's perfect if you're someone (like me) with dry skin but who rarely moisturises their body. It did smell great but this didn't seem to stay on the skin unfortunately. I'm feeling mixed about this. I love the idea, I like how it made my skin feel, but it didn't seem to lather and the smell didn't translate into my skin which is a shame. I might try using more next time in case I didn't use enough of the product. Would love to hear from you if you've used shower oils!
The full size Joik Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil in Raspberry Bon Bon (200ml)* is available from LoveLula* for £15.90.
The Joik advent calendar was purchased by myself though partially funded by credit as part of the LoveLula Accredited Blogger Programme. Links marked with * are affiliate links.

Letter from ME!
Hey Students,
I'm Senada and I have been teaching for 11 years. In that time I have taught 3/4 and 1/2. This is my first year teaching in 5/6. I love reading, writing, dancing, exercising and cooking. I also love creating and making things.
I got married nearly 3 years ago and live with my husband Yaz in a cute little house we had built before we got married. Yaz works for Telstra, fixing and connecting phone lines. In a few months we will add a new member to our family; a little british short hair kitten (that is yet to be named). I am SO excited. I also have a 13 year old cat named Audrey. She lives with my mum and dad in their house. I visit her all the time and she is just gorgeous. She always jumps onto my shoulders and hangs out there until she gets too heavy and I have to carry her!
My mum and dad still live in the house that I was brought up in and I go over there every Saturday for dinner. I have 3 sisters Indira, Minne and Sam. We are all very close and see each other all the time. I have 3 nieces; Anisa, Safia and Dahlia, 1 nephew; Zaim and another nephew (who will be born in 3 weeks and doesn't have a name yet).
I love traveling. Last year Yaz and I went on a 3 month holiday through Europe. We went to Norway, England, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and Abu Dhabi. It was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. We have already started planning our next trip for this year and I cannot wait!
These holidays I did a lot of relaxing and spending time with my family. I went away with my family to Rye for a week. The house we stayed at had a pool, tennis courts and a games room. We had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing tennis and swimming in the pool.
I am looking forward to teaching 5/6 this year and getting to know a lot of new kids! I hope you are looking forward to this year too!
So now I want to hear about you. Tell me anything. What are your favourite things? What's your family like? Have you done something that you'd like to share? What did you do in your holidays? What do you hope to do in the future? Write an entry onto your blog- show it to a family member and make sure you review it to fix mistakes before you publish it.
From Senada
P.S. If you have any names for a male cat please share it with me. Yaz and I can't agree on a name we both like!

Is it right that America is obsessed with pets? Why one say so?
Is there any particular reason behind this? Some are obsessed. Some take as snobbery; some take as a companion.
They emphasize on their pet more than their life partner. If a couple would be busy to care each other, to love each other, to share everything with each other, they would not have enough time to concentrate their pet too much, and they can be obsessed with their pet.
The main reason is that they have no faith, no love, and no passion for each other. So they like to be separated from each other.
It is quite a truth that man needs a companion; a normal man cannot live alone, he needs a partner. So The American take a pet as their partner as they have a lack of a partner. They fulfill the loneliness keeping pet beside them thereby a single person take taste burning his cigarette. It is lucid that they take a pet as their partner when they feel alone.
The origin of keeping pet instead of a human partner
Man can rear pet, no doubt, it is the source of pleasure, but it is obsessed when one gives his pet priority than his life partner.
The inception of this tradition is the high class's family in America. Most of the people of this status are busier with individual works. So to fulfill their loneliness, they have adopted a pet. But nowadays, it has been a part of snobbery.
Why people are taking a pet as their partner
Naturally, Man has a tendency to follow one another. If one of the high-status does something's, the lower thinks that it is the sign of money, the sign of respect, and the sign of praise.
The lower try to follow gradually. They do not judge what is bad and what is good. They want to do what the people of the higher classed people do. Most of the people do not judge the actual benefit.
What is the opinion of the expert
"Infographic Design By" Pet Life Today
The physician says "that pet lessen the presser, the rate of stroke, mental stress and other physical problem, even a pet makes the pet owner live in a healthier way."
Is Comments truth? We can but agree with the comments. The core fact is that human has to love to be loved, the human need to love irrespective caste, creed, and age.
Human need bondage, they depend on each other reciprocally. When a man is deprived of this, they find an alternative way to fulfill. But what is the actual truth behind this?
Nothing can be alternative of humans love. One can take a taste from others source. But it is not the real taste. It is a way just to forget the pain of losing, the sorrow of not having real human love.
Men are obsessed with different things
Man is obsessed with different things; some are obsessed with the collection of money, asset, name and fame, and others. Very few people in the world are living without obsession. But the large part of America is obsessed with the pets.
Rearing pet is not the vices rather it is a virtue. But be obsessed means to be derailed from the right path. And taking pet instead of the partner is the course.
It is a blessing to everyone who has to lead obsessed free life. So writers request goes to all not to be obsessed with anything and being conscious, take the taste of real pleasure.

Did y'all miss me? It's been over a week since my last post, but I won't offer up any excuses. It was my birthday week and I needed a much deserved break!
In the weeks leading up to my twenty-fifth birthday people kept asking me how I was going to celebrate. A party perhaps? Maybe a dinner? Well if you know anything about me you'll know I'm not one for big birthday celebrations. Instead, I decided to do what I love the most: travel around Europe. I picked Ireland for my latest destination.
I spent my birthday weekend exploring the beautiful country of Ireland. My favorite pastime happens to be eating, which made an appearance.
25 is a big birthday! Most people hate the idea of growing old, but I'm part of the minority. I enjoy growing up and getting to do the things I love like travel. I've decided to embrace 25 and live life to the fullest!
In case you were wondering, I basically took a million pictures this past weekend. Stay tuned for Ireland posts for days and days to come!

Nashville, Tenn. — Tom Brady added another big chunk of NFL history to his resume.
The Tennessee Titans made sure the Patriots quarterback didn't finish his 300th game by hitting him over and over again.
The Titans sacked Brady three times and hit him six more times as they beat New England, 34-10, on Sunday, snapping a seven-game skid against the Patriots in Mike Vrabel's first game as head coach against the team he helped win three Super Bowls.
It was the most sacks allowed in a game this season by the Patriots (7-3), and coach Bill Belichick pulled Brady for Brian Hoyer midway through the fourth quarter.
"You got to make Tom blink, and if you make him blink and have to go to a second read you got a chance," Vrabel said of his former teammate. "But if you let him rip it to the first guy he looks at, it's going to be a long day."
Asked if he thought Brady was effective, Belichick said to ask Brady.
"It was just a bad day for all of us," Brady said.
Only Brett Favre (326) has played in more games, both regular season and postseason, as a quarterback than Brady. The three-time NFL MVP also needed only three touchdown passes to tie Peyton Manning (579) for the NFL record for most TD passes all time for both the regular season and postseason.
Brady left having thrown for 254 yards and no TD passes. The Titans outgained the Patriots 385-284, holding New England to just 40 yards rushing. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard, who had 1.5 sacks, said that allowed them to get after Brady.
"Coach Vrabel said make them pay for everything," Woodyard said. "Tackle him, hit him and make him feel it."
Marcus Mariota capped each of the first two drives with TD passes, and Derrick Henry ran for a pair of TDs. Ryan Succop also added two field goals as the Titans (5-4) scored a season high in points after jumping out to a 17-3 lead in the first quarter. They now have beaten both of last season's Super Bowl teams in Nashville.
The loss snaps a six-game winning streak going into New England's bye. The Patriots, who routed the Titans, 35-14, in January, also lost to Tennessee for the first time since Dec. 16, 2002.
Darius Jennings opened the game with a 58-yard kickoff return, and Mariota capped the drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Jonnu Smith. The Titans never trailed again.
The Titans came in with the NFL's stingiest scoring defense and also leading the league in fewest touchdowns allowed in the red zone. They held the Patriots to a pair of 52-yard field-goal attempts by Stephen Gostkowski, who missed his second wide left. James Develin scored on a 1-yard TD run early in the second, which pulled New England within 17-10.
Brady looked ready to pull off another amazing comeback, driving the Pats to the Titans 37. The Titans stopped Brady a yard shy of the first down after catching a pass from Julian Edelman. A false start followed, then Logan Ryan, a former New England cornerback, broke up a Brady pass to Edelman to turn the ball over.
On the very next play, Vrabel called his own trick play with Jennings throwing to a wide-open Mariota for a 21-yard gain.
Hoyer replaced Brady on the next drive.

# 11,058
Although this year's flu season is running a bit later than usual, early numbers suggest that this year's flu vaccine is about 50% protective against the dominant H1N1 virus, and nearly 80% protective against the B/Yamagata lineage of influenza B.
Given that we've yet to see the peak of the regular flu season, and influenza B often peaks later in the spring, there is still time to get a flu shot if you haven't.
While the level of protection against H1N1 this year is non-spectacular, a 50% reduction in the odds of getting the flu is still nothing to sneeze at. I get my shot every year, and urge others to consider doing so as well (see #NatlPrep: Giving Preparedness A Shot In The Arm).
As an added bonus, in recent years we've seen studies suggesting the flu jab may also provide significant protection against coronary events (see UNSW: Flu Vaccine Provides Significant Protection Against Heart Attacks).
Global flu experts will be meeting in the next week or two to decide on the formulation of next fall's flu vaccine, and with an increasingly complex array of flu viruses circulating each year (see ECDC Influenza Characterization), that job isn't getting any easier.
One hedge you might want to consider is getting the quadrivalent flu vaccine, containing both Victoria and Yamagata lineage B strains (see Two B's Or Not Two B's? That Is the Question).
We'll get an end-of season VE analysis from the CDC probably by early summer.
Flu Vaccine Nearly 60 Percent Effective
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention today reported preliminary overall influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) of 59 percent this season. These data were presented at a meeting of the agency's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) in Atlanta. This finding is comparable to past estimates for seasons when most circulating flu viruses and vaccine viruses have been similar.
Press ReleaseEmbargoed Until: Wednesday, February 24, 2016, 6:00 p.m. ET
Contact: Media Relations (404) 639-3286
"This means that getting a flu vaccine this season reduced the risk of having to go to the doctor because of flu by nearly 60 percent," said Joseph Bresee, M.D., chief of CDC's Epidemiology and Prevention Branch. "It's good news and underscores the importance and the benefit of both annual and ongoing vaccination efforts this season."
There were sufficient data from the U.S. Flu VE Network to also calculate more specific VE estimates:
At this time, there are not enough data to estimate VE by age group, nor to estimate VE against H3N2 viruses or B/Victoria lineage viruses.
- 51 percent VE against the H1N1 viruses responsible for most flu illness this season
- 76 percent VE against all influenza B viruses
- 79 percent VE against the B/Yamagata lineage of B viruses
CDC maintains and monitors several influenza surveillance systems. This season, influenza-like-illness levels and the numbers of influenza-positive laboratory tests became elevated the week ending January 16. Activity now has been elevated for five consecutive weeks. For the past 13 seasons, flu seasons have averaged 13 weeks in length, with a low of one week to a high of 20 weeks.
"Flu activity this season started a bit later and has been lower so far than we've seen during the previous three seasons, but activity is still on the upswing and expected to continue for several weeks," said Bresee. "Flu causes serious illnesses and deaths every year. This season, CDC has received reports of hospitalizations and deaths in young, otherwise healthy people who were infected with influenza A H1N1, but not vaccinated."
While flu vaccine effectiveness can vary, CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine as the best way to prevent seasonal flu. CDC also recommends rapid treatment of seriously ill and high risk suspect flu patients with influenza antiviral drugs.
Interim VE estimates are based on data collected from the U.S. Flu VE Network from November 2, 2015, through February 12, 2016. With weeks to go for the current flu season, VE estimates may change. CDC will continue to publish influenza laboratory and disease surveillance data weekly in FluView. Updated VE estimates will be provided as warranted and final VE estimates will be published after the season ends.
Also at the February 24, 2016 ACIP meeting, the committee renewed the universal recommendation for influenza vaccination, which has been in place since 2010. The committee also amended language related to flu vaccine recommendations for egg-allergic patients so that they may now receive the live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV).

Performance-Enhancing Drugs Used by Ballplayers Should Matter to You
by John Henshell
In the past 50 years, Americans have bitterly debated when life begins and ends. The facts are biological, but technology has changed the possibilities and increased our understanding of the natural science. For most people, the issues aren't scientific, but moral, religious, political, emotional, or all of those beliefs. Although the media and advocates on all sides of these issues discuss the beginning and end of life, I think the discussion is really about humanness.
Abortion is the most controversial of these issues because it deals with the mother as well as the fetus. Yet, I think all people would agree that a fetus is a living being, regardless of whether you believe it is a human being. The scientific issue is when humanness begins.
The Terri Schiavo situation gave us, as a society, a chance to debate when humanness ends. Her autopsy revealed that she had been in a "persistent vegetative state," which is the medical term used to describe the syndrome. Not coincidentally, many people use the term "vegetable" to describe people in a variety of conditions who they perceive as less than human. In legal documents and in conversations with family members or friends, people often say, "I wouldn't want to be kept alive as a vegetable." They might also specify that they don't want to be unnaturally kept alive by technological means. The issue is: when Terri Schiavo was last a living being was she still a human being?
A third issue has far less basis in science. A Harris Poll® conducted in December, 2003 found that 69% of Americans favor the death penalty, even though only 41% of those surveyed believe that the death penalty prevents people from committing murder. If only a small majority of the 22% who said they oppose the death penalty believe it is not a deterrent, that means that most capital punishment supporters favor it another reason. The pollsters didn't ask, but I think the presumption is that most advocates want to punish the murderers.
Sister Helen Prejean began a ministry working with convicted prisoners in 1981 in New Orleans. She wrote a bestselling book, "Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States," about her experience counseling two executed murderers. Sister Prejean is adamantly opposed to the death penalty, but she has counseled family members of victims as well, and has developed a deep understanding of why most Americans support the death penalty. She explains, "We target the evil person, dehumanize them, and say they're not human in the way we are, they are totally evil and so we are justified in killing them." Prosecutors and family members of victims exemplify her hypothesis when they refer to the killers as "monsters." Even Sister Prejean has described the horrible actions of the murderers as "animalistic behavior" and "not human behavior." In an interview with the Oregonian last year, she said she believes that people are willing to execute murderers because they believe that those who commit gruesome capital crimes are something less than human beings.
Each of these issues illustrate that many Americans believe
that a human-looking creature can be alive and be something less than a human being. With
modern technology, a living creature can be something more than a human being, or can at
least have superhuman talents.
Baseball has historically been played and umpired only by human beings.
Fans have strongly rejected any alternatives. For example, MLB has found that
fans overwhelmingly reject allowing technology to replace or even help umpires.
The prototypical fictitious superhuman is Superman, a humanoid character
created for a comic strip who is faster than a Rob Dibble fastball, more
powerful than a Frank Howard swing, and able to leap Reggie Jackson's ego in a
single bound. Superman would be a spectacular centerfielder. Unlike other speedy
flyhawks, Superman can really fly. He'd easily catch any ball hit in
the air to the outfield. If he flies as fast as the scouting reports claim, he
would be able to catch foul pops hit into the upper deck behind home plate. With
Superman in centerfield, no batter could hit a home run.
If you think creating an outfielder who can fly is hyperbole, consider what Victor Conte and other mad scientists have been able to do. They've created chemicals that have enabled ballplayers to:
reverse the aging process;
improve mood and motivation;
play 162 games and make 27 long flights in six months, endure frequent climate changes and extremes, and suffer through bruises, strains, sprains, media scrutiny, and losing without experiencing fatigue;
run faster;
throw harder;
see better;
swing faster and more powerfully; and
gain some of the athletic abilities of wild animals.
In contrast, Mickey Mantle, Sam McDowell, and Bobby Bonds used a chemical (alcohol) that hindered their performance. Players from their era to the present era used amphetamines. While amphetamines are arguably performance-enhancing drugs, they stimulate adrenaline and provide a level of energy that is humanly possible.
You can argue that using amphetamines isn't cheating any more than having corrected vision is cheating. Some people even believe that cheating is an established part of baseball (e.g. stealing signs, throwing spitballs) and that it is within the realm of sportsmanship. Regardless of how you feel about cheating or degrees of cheating, you should not consider players who ingest chemicals that provide superhuman powers as mere cheaters. Players who doctor the equipment are using technology to enable the bats or balls do things that legal equipment can't do. They take cheating to an extreme. Players who doctor themselves with human growth hormone, testosterone, insulin, erythropoietin (EPO) gene therapy, and tetrahydrogestrinone (THG), go way beyond cheating: they arguably become humanoids who can do things that aren't humanly possible.

Honestly, I can't even come up with a sentence let alone a paragraph to express what I feel about Marc Jacobs Collection. Though not one of my most favored designers, Marc Jacobs is one of the designers I had the pleasure of researching while gathering information for the 2015 Fall trend. The name did not even cross my mind until the last-minute. I was checking for Marni and boom, there it was – Marc Jacobs. Boy am I glad I checked it out. It was a fashion romance experience for me! The opening outfit, a brown and black checked sheath with four wide bands of bugle beads below the waist worn by Erin O'Connor's is conservatively sexy. It's so me! The positioning of the first band of bugle beads gave the model an amazingly beautiful and classy look. The fourth outfit sent down the runway had a thin extra long belt that is probably one-inch away from the floor. I have seen this belt before. Not as long as the designers but similar. I immediately took a trip down memory lane by remembering the belt I designed to match the brown and not-so-white gingham house-wear I wore while I was in secondary school. Tulle and grosgrain ribbons were used in the collection. Four of my most favorite things to wear (drop waist, thin long belt, tulle and grosgrain ribbon) were all in just one collection and I still had 51 more outfits to go through. Let's just say the collection kept building and building, so was my interest.
The presentation featured outfits made with metallic brocades, leopard print, grommet leather, fur, sequences, e.t.c. The sequence dresses were exquisite. Such a delight to watch as they glimmer down the runway. The only presentation I do not morally support is #6. Throw a slip under the tulle piece and it's a winner.
The clothes were rich, classy, breathtaking, girly, beautiful, sparkly, glamorous, sexy, and captivating. These were the adjectives that ran through my mind as I view the collection one outfit at a time.
Bravo Marc Jacobs. Welcome back.
I love all 56 clothes presented but below are the ones I love the most.

Thermal Imaging is included in every home inspection at no addition cost.
Thermal imaging, also called Infrared or Tomography, is a photography that captures an image based upon wavelength of light that have a lower frequency than normal visual light. Infrared home inspections detect differences in temperatures. An Infrared inspection combined with the traditional visual home inspection can reveal invisible problems that can't be seen with the naked eye. Including hidden moisture problems or moisture intrusion, roof and plumbing leaks, missing insulation, faulty wiring, and energy loss, ventilation problems, and moisture related to termite infestations. We identify moisture problems and confirm them with other equipment such as a moisture meter. Using infrared technology gives Houston's Edge home inspections a huge advantage over other inspection companies not utilizing the infrared technology. Infrared home inspections provide more information about the property you and your family are about to purchase, and in some cases exposing hazardous conditions that are invisible to the naked eye.
There may be potential hazards in the electrical systems that aren't visible without an infrared home inspection. Almost always electrical systems overheat prior to failing which could be a potential fire hazard if left undetected. Infrared home inspections are really the only way to safely get a reliable electrical home inspection. Also unseen moisture or moisture intrusion problems can cause mold, which can affect air quality of the home. Home inspections without infrared may not reveal these unseen dangers. Unknowing you and your family are not exposed to these hazards is a very valuable service provided in every home inspection we perform. Houston's Edge Home Inspections provides infrared home inspections to provide you with more information about the property you are about to purchase.

vinylOS is an alternative controller game console and media art installation based on a DJ turntable. The turntable is transformed into a screen by projecting onto it from above. Simultaneously it takes on the role of the input-device: by spinning, scratching or rewinding the vinyl you can control games or other audiovisual content.
vinylOS is not just one game on a turntable but is meant to be a turntable console. So far there are two games available for vOS but more (also from third party developers) are planned.
In 2017 it won the A Maze Audience Award.
vinylOS is being developed as a joint project with Josef Wiesner.

Between school, work, and extra circular activities there isn't a whole lot of time in my house for Valentine's Day. We celebrated this past weekend instead, taking the kids to Build a Bear and lunch – then I bought a new pair of tennis shoes for my Valentine's present…romantic, huh? So, I've decided that I will start my own Valentine's tradition.
My thought was that once the kids have gone to school, I would find my secret stash of chocolate, and my favorite book. But then I thought if I tried to read a whole book I would be very pruney when I got out of the tub. So maybe I should just make a little pile of the ones with my favorite couples and just read all the good parts? Brilliant idea if I do say so myself!
Now, what scenes and couples? That is probably as hard as picking my favorite book. Here are my top five couples. (And I stayed away from the classics for this one, because I wanted escape!!)
1. Zsadist and Bella from JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I make no secret of the fact that I am a Z girl to the core. There is something about that completely damaged man that just draws me in. And the tats, and piercings, and the shaved head, and his sheer size (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)…I would trade hubs in in a heartbeat for Zsadist! Normally this would make me automatically dislike his mate (in my head I live in Bookworld, where I'm thin and young and available to all the gorgeous heroes – and a few villains too.), but I actually really like Bella too. I like that she is smart and strong and doesn't take any crap from Z.
And ironically enough, Z happens to be the STAR of one of my mostest favorite smexy scenes! Z's "discovery" of himself and allowing himself to enjoy touching himself for the first time when Bella catches him…and she tells him to keep going! GAH!!! I've never wanted to be a fictional character more in my entire life!
2. Edward and Bella from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. I know, I know, but Edward an Bella made me remember that feeling of falling in love. I've been married for 21 years, and some days it's nice to remember why I fell in love with my husband and those days back when it was all new. Twilight did that for me. I will say, though, and if you saw my inspiration, you'll know this is true…I'm not team Edward OR team Jacob – I'm TEAM EMMETT!!
Unlike most, my favorite kinda sexy scene from Twilight is not the "leg hitch" in Eclipse (though that one is nice). The one that takes my breath away every time – and that they left out of the movie – is when Edward is trying to get Bella to run with him before the baseball game in Twilight. When he pins her against the Jeep and is trying to "erase her memory". Yeah, that one to me is soooo sexy! Picturing him running his nose along her pulse point, and Bella's reaction to it? Get's the heart racing!
3. Vane and Bride from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series. Now, I do like the Dark Hunters, but there is something about Kenyon's Weres that I really, really love. Vane and Bride are my favorite because I love that Bride is a bigger girl and even better that Vane loves her like that. I think that unless you are supermodel thin, we all have self conscious body issues, and so relating to Bride is easy. All she wants is to be thin and accepted, and she can't understand why Vane – drop dead gorgeous – would want to be with her. Which brings me to my favorite Vane and Bride moment. It isn't really a smexy moment, more a sweet moment. I love when Vane tells Bride what he is and what he can do and she asks what kind of magic he can do. When he says anything, she asks if he can make her thin. Vane's response? "Sure. But why would I want to." Now, come on ladies! Who wouldn't want you're man to say that to you?
4. Qhuinn and Blay from JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I don't normally choose to read same sex relationships, but there is just something that I really love about these two. I don't know if it is because they have always been friends and that is now turning into more. Or if it is because I have an image of Qhuinn in my head and the idea that he would love Blay the way that Blay loves him is totally incongruous to that image (and I'm a sucker for juxtapositioning!). I just don't know. The only thing that I know is that I loved when these two had their first kiss after the fight with the Lessers and Qhuinn told Blay that is all they would ever have, while he imagined much, much, more because he loves Blay too much and he knows he would hurt him.
5. Finally, Stephanie Plum and Ranger OR Morelli from Janet Evanovich's number series. If I'm forced to choose, I'm a cupcake girl. BUT…at this point in the series I just want Stephanie to get some and I don't care if it is with Ranger or Morelli! In the end, I believe that she can't end up with anyone else besides Morelli, but while they are on a "break" she needs to be all over Ranger and enjoy him for a while!! I can't pinpoint my favorite smexy scene in the series, but I remember the first time I realized that Stephanie and Ranger were "busy" and I had to go back and re-read the part because I was cruising along and then all of a sudden Ranger's head popped out from under the sheets! WELL HELLO!! Funny and sexy is one of my favorite combinations!!
I'll be in the tub for a few hours catching up on my favorite couples and looking for new ones!
Hope everyone enjoys their Valentine's Day today no matter how you celebrate it!!

Taiwan bank ATMs spew out millions after hack – Jul. 14, 2016
Taiwan is trying to figure out how hackers managed to trick a network of bank ATMs into spitting out millions. Police said several people wearing masks attacked dozens of ATMs operated by Taiwan's First Bank on Sunday. They spent a few minutes at each of the machines before making off with the equivalent of $2 million stashed in a backpack. They didn't use bank cards but rather appeared to gain control of the machines with a "connected device," possibly a smartphone, the police said in a statement Thursday. Authorities are now hunting the thieves, who they say came from Russia and eastern Europe

Wear loose clothes and if you go out, wear sun cream, sunglasses and a sunhat.
Don't do too much exercise.
Have lots of cool drinks (not alcohol) and eat cool food like salads.
Have a cool shower or bath.
Use plants and bowls of water to keep rooms cool, close curtains during the day and turn off lights. Open windows at night if safe to do so.
Check on people who are older or live on their own.
Don't leave people who are vulnerable to very hot weather (very young babies, children or older people) alone in a parked car.
Keep medicines cool.
Check with your GP about your medications in very hot weather, call us if you feel dizzy, have pains in your legs or stomach or feel unwell.

Don't let hay fever spoil your summer
Did you know you don't need to see your GP for hay fever treatment? Hay fever and seasonal allergy treatments such as tablets, eye drops and nasal sprays are all easily available at low cost from your local pharmacy – no prescription from your GP required!
Antihistamines are usually the best treatment for hay fever and these can easily be bought from local pharmacies or supermarkets. Buying a packet of 30 tablets can cost as little as £2, but if a patient goes to their GP to get a prescription then it costs the NHS considerably more.
By going to the pharmacy you'll be saving yourself time and money, freeing up GP appointments for people with more urgent needs as well as doing your bit to help the NHS save money on unnecessary prescription costs.
For more information about treating allergies or to find your nearest pharmacy and opening times visit www.nhs.uk. Top tips to help ease hay fever symptoms:
Keep house and car windows closed, especially when the pollen count is high (early morning between 7am to 9am and evenings between 5pm and 7pm)
Avoid large grassy areas, woodland, cutting the grass and car fumes
Wear wrap-around sunglasses
Use petroleum jelly inside your nose to block inhalation of pollen
Don't dry washing outside to avoid pollen sticking to your clothes
When you get in from outside wash your hands, face, hair, rinse your eyes and change your clothes.
From April 1st each prescription item will increase by 20p to £8.80. Prepayment certificates are £29.10 - 3 months / £104 - 12 months.
Home test kit for bowel cancer screening
The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme increases survival rates from bowel cancer by detecting disease before symptoms appear when it is easier to treat. The programme is introducing an improved home test kit for screening from April 2018. Called a faecal immunochemical test (FIT), it will replace the guaiac faecal occult blood test (gFOBt).
More information is available from the following link: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/bowel-cancer-screening/
Baby & Child Immunisations
The Nursing Team administer baby and child immunisations. The reminder / recall service is managed for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group by an organisation called PROVIDE - Child Health Information Service (CHIS). If PROVIDE CHIS have the incorrect information for your child or you believe your child has previously had this immunisation, please contact them directly on tel: 0300 303 9997. For all other queries; please contact your GP Practice.
Child Health Information Service (CHIS) - Tel: 0300 3039997 / Email: email@example.com / www.provide.org.uk
Use the NHS wisely
Every time you visit your GP it costs the NHS £45 (this is the average cost calculated by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group for a GP consultation, cost of medication, and dispensing fee). You can treat minor illnesses such as colds and coughs, sore throats, and upset stomachs easily at home with medicines, which you can easily buy at low cost from your local pharmacy.
A good idea is to stock up on first aid essentials, which are available from the Surgery dispensary:
pain relief (paracetamol)
cough and sore throat remedies
a first aid kit
upset stomach treatment
rehydration treatment
heartburn and indigestion treatment
Having these at hand will save you time and help you to feel better quicker, whilst helping save the NHS much needed resources. Your pharmacist can also offer you advice and guidance on the best treatment for you – no appointment needed. Pharmacists are also available in the evenings and over the weekend.

Annual Wit & Humor Exhibit: Bombs Away: Humor Goes to War
High resolution images available upon request
Bombs Away: Humor Goes to War, an exhibition that draws from materials in the Schmulowitz Collection of Wit & Humor, is a selection of the spirit, wit and humor of those at war, and the people they left behind on the home front. The exhibit opened April 1 in the Skylight Gallery, Sixth Floor, Main Library and closes next Wednesday, May 31.
How did average readers and soldiers in the trenches deal with the stress of war in the 20th century? One way to preserve one's sanity was keeping a sense of humor. From every imaginable corner of a war-torn world, humor was used to oppose tyranny and satirize the enemy. War is hell, but troops found that humor stayed the beast, at least temporarily; they laughed while belly-aching daily about the latest SNAFU, they laughed about jawbreakers in the mess and ribbon-happy officers. Folks at home rationed fuel and stockings, collected pots and pans for the war effort and listened to the radio for the latest news from the front. The world was full of newspaper cartoons and strips, editorial cartoons, propaganda art, Armed Services Editions sent to the troops, and humor created by the troops themselves in such newspapers as Stars and Stripes and Wipers Times.
"Without humor we are doomed," noted Nat Schmulowitz, local attorney and former library trustee, who donated his collection of 93 jest books to the San Francisco Public Library on April 1, 1947. The collection has grown to more than 22,000 volumes and includes periodicals and audio-visual materials; it is considered the most significant collection of its kind in a public library. Every year, the Book Arts & Special Collections Center presents an exhibition based on materials in the Schmulowitz Collection, in tribute to Mr. Nat Schmulowitz's generosity and lifelong interest in the Library.
Bombs Away: Humor Goes to War – April 1– May 31, Main Library, Skylight Gallery, 6th Floor

Every Friday we'll be publishing on guinnessworldrecords.com some of our favourite images that have been recently added to the GWR archive. Here's a look at some of this week's best images:
The most consecutive dives in wave formation (above) is 4,725 and was achieved by Maik Neubert and AOK - Die Gesundheitskasse für Niedersachsen (Germany) in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, on 14 July 2012. 75 team members took part in the attempt, each diving 63 times for a total of 4,725.
The most pet food donated to charity in 24 hours is 4,197.50 kg (9,253 lb 14 oz) and was achieved by Mars Petcare UK (UK), in Leicester, UK, on 28 September 2012. The cans of Kitekat Pedigree cat food were donated by Mars Petcare UK to Leicester and Leicestershire Animal Aid Association. Around 100 employees of the company participated in the attempt as part of a team building exercise. The entire process from the weighing of the pet food to the final delivery took under five hours.
The largest collection of model motorcycles is 1,258 model motorcycles and belongs to David Correia (USA), in Norco, California, USA, as of 24 May 2012. David began collecting model motorcycles in 1992 when he was given a vintage 1963 panhead Harley Davidson model. The entire collection features only motorcycles with riders and is housed in a special room in his garage. David was inspired to apply for this record when he saw coverage of other Guinness World Records collection record holders.
The most balloons inflated by the nose in one hour is 328, achieved by Ashrita Furman (USA), in New York, New York, USA, on 7 August 2012. Standard party balloons were used for this record.
