Preparing for Installation
This chapter describes the steps you need take before you begin the installation. Not every step must be strictly followed - for example, if you plan to use the default installation settings, you do not need to gather system information such as disk device labels/UUIDs or network information such as the system's IP address. However, you should still go through this chapter, as it also describes the available types of installation media and how to prepare boot media and installation sources.
Upgrade or Install?
If you already have Fedora installed and want to upgrade your installation to the current version, there are two basic ways to do so:
- Automatic upgrade using dnf system upgrade
The preferred way to upgrade your system is an automatic upgrade using the dnf system upgrade utility. For information on performing an automatic upgrade, see Fedora Wiki dnf system upgrade.
- Manual Reinstallation
You can upgrade to the latest version of Fedora manually instead of relying on dnf system upgrade. This involves booting the installer as if you were performing a clean installation, letting it detect your existing Fedora system, and overwriting the root partition while preserving data on other partitions and volumes. The same process can also be used to reinstall the system, if you need to. For detailed information, see Manual System Upgrade or Reinstallation.
Always back up your data before performing an upgrade or reinstalling your system, no matter which method you choose. |
Preparing Boot Media
Fedora images are Hybrid ISOs
and can be used to create installation media with both optical and USB disks, for booting on both BIOS and UEFI systems.
Fedora Media Writer
Fedora Media Writer has been significantly improved and is now the official, tested and supported way to make bootable media. Fedora Media Writer supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is an easy way to make bootable USB media to install Fedora (or other operating systems). Using Fedora Media Writer is strongly encouraged, although other USB media creation software can work as well.
Some of the new additions to Fedora Media Writer are that Fedora Workstation and Server are easily and quickly accessible from the selection on the main screen. Further choices are available if you select the button below Custom image. This offers a selection of various Fedora Spins, such as Xfce or Mate.
Historically, universal USB creation tools, such as Unetbootin, are a popular way to create USB installers from ISOs intended for optical media. They typically create a filesystem on the USB drive by extracting files from the image, and writing syslinux bootloader to the device.
These methods circumvent the boot-loader configuration built into Fedora images, which are pre-partitioned and designed to boot on UEFI systems with SecureBoot enabled as well as BIOS systems, and thus they do not produce consistent results with Fedora images, especially on UEFI systems.
The best results are produced by utilities that use a direct write method and do not modify the Fedora image.
Always think twice before writing an image to the device. The media creation methods described in this article are destructive. All data on the USB stick are deleted during the process, so make sure you have a back up of the data on the USB stick. Double check that you have selected correct device to write the image to! |
Installing and running Fedora Media Writer
On Fedora
On Fedora 25 or later, Fedora Media Writer is available in the default repository. You can use dnf
to install the
To install the Fedora Media Writer using:
$ sudo dnf install mediawriter
Run the Fedora Media Writer:
$ mediawriter
or in Gnome 3 select Activities and then click on Fedora Media Writer.
On other Linux distributions
The best way to install Fedora Media Writer on various Linux distributions is to use the pre-built Flatpak package. The package can be obtained from the official Flatpak repository Flathub.org.
To setup Flatpak on your Linux system, follow the guidelines on the Flatpak documentation page.
Run the application:
$ sudo mediawriter
On Windows
Download the latest Windows Installer file from GetFedora.org. The server automatically detects the running system and offers you the correct installation file for your Windows version.
Run the installation by double clicking the installer, and then continue through the set-up wizard. The Wizard lets you customize the software's installation if you choose to.
Run the application by clicking on a launcher.
In Windows 8 and 10, the Fedora Media Writer launcher will be placed in the All apps menu under F. In Windows 10, you can just type Fedora Media Writer in the search box on the task bar.
On macOS
Download the latest Macintosh Disk Image (the package will have a .dmg extension) from GetFedora.org. The server automatically detects the running system and offers a correct package for your macOS.
Open the
file, and press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the Fedora Media Writer application. -
Press "Open" in the pop-up menu.
Click the "Open" button in the confirmation dialog, if it appears.
Writing the ISO image to the USB Media.
Select the Fedora Edition you wish to make a bootable USB drive for.
Figure 1. Fedora Media Writer Main Screen: Choose your Edition of FedoraThe main selection lets you choose one of the default Fedora editions, Fedora Workstation or Server. Fedora Media Writer displays more details about the edition before you can proceed with downloading the image and the USB creation. You can choose a different architecture, if you select Other variants.
Select "Create Live USB" to proceed.
Figure 2. Fedora Media Writer Distro InformationFedora Media Writer will automatically download the ISO for you. If you have downloaded the ISO before and placed it in the Downloads directory, it will be immediately available to use.
Figure 3. Fedora Media Writer Automatic Download -
Plug in a USB drive on which you want to create the bootable media.
To write the image onto the media, click the red Write to disk button.
Figure 4. Fedora Media Writer Write to USB Device
Other methods to create a live USB
Using the Fedora Media Writer is highly recommended for everybody, because it offers a reliable way to create a live USB stick for Fedora installation.
However, some experienced users may prefer to go through the creation process manually. If you decide to do so, you have to download the installation images and use an application to write them onto the USB stick.
If you have downloaded and verified the installation images manually, you still can write them onto the USB stick using Fedora Media Writer. |
Downloading Boot and Installation Images
The Fedora Project offers different Editions tailored for some specific use cases. Choose the Fedora Edition best for you. You can also build your own by customizing Fedora after it's installed or by using a kickstart file as described in Creating a Kickstart File. Kickstart installation requires the netinstall
media type, or a direct installation booting method such as PXE; kickstarts are not supported with live images.
Read more about Fedora Workstation, Fedora Cloud, Fedora Server and the available media types in Downloading Fedora.
You can also choose a Fedora Spin featuring favorite alternative desktops or tools for specialized tasks at https://spins.fedoraproject.org.
Verifying the Downloaded Image
Because transmission errors or other problems may corrupt the Fedora image you have downloaded, it is important to verify the file's integrity. After the images are created, an operation is performed on the file that produces a value called a checksum
using a complex mathematical algorithm. The operation is sufficiently complex that any change to the original file will produce a different checksum.
By calculating the image's checksum
on your own computer and comparing it to the original checksum
, you can verify the image has not been tampered with or corrupted. The original checksum values are provided at https://getfedora.org/security/, and are gpg signed to demonstrate their integrity.
Verifying checksums on Windows systems
Download the Fedora image of your choice from https://getfedora.org/ and the corresponding checksum file from https://getfedora.org/security/
Open a powershell session.
Change to the directory containing the downloaded files.
> cd $HOME\Downloads\ > ls Directory: C:\Users\Pete\Downloads Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 11/25/2014 12:39 PM 272 Fedora-Server-21-x86_64-CHECKSUM -a--- 11/25/2014 12:39 PM 2047868928 Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso
Load the resources required to calculate the checksum.
> $image = "Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso" > $checksum_file = "Fedora-Server-21-x86_64-CHECKSUM" > $sha256 = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.sha256CryptoServiceProvider > $expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file | Select-String -Pattern $image) -split " ")[0].ToLower()
Calculate the downloaded image's checksum. This will take a while!
> $download_checksum = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($sha256.ComputeHash([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$PWD\$image"))).ToLower() -replace '-', ''
Compare the calculated checksum to the expected checksum.
> echo "Download Checksum: $download_checksum" > echo "Expected Checksum: $expected_checksum" > if ( $download_checksum -eq "$expected_checksum" ) { echo "Checksum test passed!" } else { echo "Checksum test failed." }
Verifying checksums on Linux and macOS systems
Download the Fedora image of your choice from https://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora and the corresponding checksum file from https://getfedora.org/security/
Open a terminal window, and navigate to the directory with the downloaded files.
$ cd ~/Downloads
Use the appropriate utility to verify the image checksum.
For Linux:
$ sha256sum -c *CHECKSUM
For macOS:
$ grep '^SHA256' *-CHECKSUM | awk -F '[()=]' '{ print $4 " " $2 }' | shasum -a 256 -c
Writing the images to USB media
Creating USB media with GNOME Disks
On a system with GNOME, or with the gnome-disk-utility package installed, open
using the system menu. -
Click your USB device in the left column.
Click the menu icon in the upper right corner of the window, and choose the
Restore Disk Image
option. -
Navigate to your image file and click
Start Restoring
. After a few minutes, it will report the process is complete and your installation media will be ready to use.
Creating USB Media on the Linux command line
Open a terminal window and insert the usb drive.
Find the
device node
assigned to the drive. In the example below, the drive is givensdd
.$ dmesg|tail [288954.686557] usb 2-1.8: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=2 [288954.686559] usb 2-1.8: Product: USB Storage [288954.686562] usb 2-1.8: SerialNumber: 000000009225 [288954.712590] usb-storage 2-1.8:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [288954.712687] scsi host6: usb-storage 2-1.8:1.0 [288954.712809] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [288954.716682] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas [288955.717140] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic STORAGE DEVICE 9228 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [288955.717745] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 [288961.876382] sd 6:0:0:0: sdd Attached SCSI removable disk
Use the dd utility to write the image.
# dd if=/path/to/Fedora-Live-Security-x86_64-21.iso of=/dev/sdd
Pay extreme attention to the source (
) and target (of=
) device. Thedd
command destroys all data on the target device. If you made a mistake, you could lose important data.
Creating a Boot CD or DVD
In addition to creating a bootable USB flash drive, you can also use the provided ISO images to create bootable optical media (a CD or DVD). This approach may be necessary when installing Fedora on an older system which cannot boot from USB.
The exact steps you need to take to burn a bootable CD or DVD from an ISO image will vary depending on what disc burning software you use. This procedure only offers a general overview. |
Insert a blank CD or DVD into your system's CD or DVD burner.
Open your system's burning software - for example, Brasero on Fedora systems with GNOME desktop environment, or Nero on Windows systems. In the software's main menu, find an option which lets you burn an ISO image to a disc. For example, in Brasero, this option is
Burn image
in the main menu on the left side of the window. -
When prompted, select the ISO image of Fedora to be burned, and the CD or DVD burner with a blank disc inside (if you have more than one drive).
Confirm your selection, and wait for the disc to be burned.

Does a newly constructed home need an Inspection? Why cant I do the Inspection myself? What if the Inspection uncovers problems? Will you fix the problems you find during the Inspection? What is a Home Inspection? Back to top A home inspection is a professional, complete visual examination of the all the systems and physical structural elements of a home. Our emphasis is on identifying existing or potential problems that would affect a purchasers buying decision. Why do I need a Home Inspection? Back to top A home is the largest purchase most people will ever make. It only makes sense to find out as much as you can about the house you are interested in before you buy. That way you can avoid costly surprise repairs and problems with your new home. Our report will also advise you of what maintenance is required to keep your home in top condition. A professional inspection will give you a clear picture of the many systems and structural elements that make up the property. If you are selling your home, a listing inspection will point out any potential problems that might be uncovered later by the buyers inspector. Finding them early will allow you to address them before listing your home, making for a faster and smoother sale. What does a Home Inspection include? Back to top Our standard inspection report covers all the major systems and structural elements of the house. This includes the condition of the homes heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems, roof, foundation, attic and visible insulation, walls, doors, windows and all visible structures. Do I need to be there during the Inspection? Back to top No, you arent required to be there for the inspection. But we highly recommend that you be present. Its a valuable learning experience for most people and will help you get the most benefit from the inspection. By following the inspector you can ask questions directly and the inspector can explain maintenance tips for specific areas. We feel youll be able to best understand the finished report and get the most benefit from it by having been there during the inspection. How long will the Inspection take? Back to top The time will vary depending on both the size and condition of the home. For most homes, 3 hours is pretty typical. But for larger homes, or homes in poor condition, it may take longer. Does a newly constructed home need an Inspection? Back to top Absolutely. A professional inspection of a new home is important. We can spot potential problems early, while they are still easy to correct. Its especially valuable to arrange an inspection before the interior walls are finished. As building professionals, we may find problem areas where the builder has taken shortcuts or not done good work. Why cant I do the Inspection myself? Back to top Chances are that even if you are very familiar with home construction, you still dont have the knowledge, training and experience of a professional Home Inspector. Weve inspected thousands of homes. We are not only familiar with all the systems of a home, and how they work and need to be maintained, but we also know what to look for to tell us that they are getting ready to fail. But beyond the technical expertise and experience a professional inspector brings, it is important to remember that the inspector remains an impartial third party. If you are involved in buying or selling a house, its impossible for you to remain completely unemotional about the house, and this may cloud your judgment. The professional inspector will provide an objective outside reporting of the facts. What if the Inspection uncovers problems? Back to top Our report will tell you the condition of the house, including needed repairs and expenses. No house is going to be perfect. It is up to you to decide how any problems the inspection uncovers might affect your decision to purchase. If major problems are discovered, you may want to try negotiating with the seller to have them repaired before closing the deal. Or perhaps the seller will lower the price, or offer more favorable contract terms. In the end, the decision rests with you, but knowing about potential problems, before you buy, gives you the power to negotiate and make the best decisions. Will you fix the problems you find during the Inspection? Back to top No. The code of ethics of The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) prohibits its members from doing repair work on properties they inspect. This assures that there will never be any conflict of interest by the inspector. Our purpose is to provide an unbiased, objective third party report on the condition of the home. |

NMCA World Street Finals 2022 Live stream on 22th September 2022. Choosing a streaming service for shows or movies is easy. But choosing one for sports is a problem that mainly stems from the fact that sporting events are typically meant to be watched in real time. NMCA World Street Finals 2022 Live However, NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live TV streaming services out there, such as DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV, that are great for sports fans looking to cut the cord.
Here's how to watch NMCA World Street Finals 2022:
- Game:floracing
- Season: 2022-2023
- Legal status: Association
- TV Channel: Fiba
- Live Stream: Watch Here Free
Many sports fans want to watch their local regional sports networks, or RSNs, for access to their home team's games. Boston-area hockey fans looking for the Bruins or Major League Baseball fans hoping to catch the Red Sox need NESN to view the majority of their games. That's even if they subscribe to a league-sponsored, sport-specific package such as MLB TV, which doesn't cover in-market games. Dedicated sports streaming services that offer live streaming for your specific teams and games could be a boon to any devoted sports fan.
Because of rights agreements, most NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live TV streaming services don't carry many RSNs. DirecTV Stream is the one exception to this among streaming services. It has nearly every RSN, particularly the Bally Sports (formerly Fox Sports) channels offered by Sinclair, but the company increased its prices earlier this year, and you'll need to spring for its now $90-a-month plan to access them.
However, once your sport reaches the playoffs, games tend to shift from smaller, regional channels to those that reach a national audience and tend to be included in most TV packages. The NBA is one of the major exceptions to this, as you'll still need access to NBA TV — which generally costs extra — in order to catch every first round playoff game. Also, some sports, like Formula 1 racing, feature all of their contests on one national network, such as ESPN.
Depending on location, the diehard sports fan of some teams might ultimately save more money by getting a cable subscription than by paying for some of the sports streaming services. Sometimes, going the livestream route is more expensive than opting for a cable or satellite channel plan. Those tend to come bundled with your RSNs along with ESPN, TBS, TNT and your local network sports channel set. This could especially make sense if the package is bundled with the home internet you'll likely be getting anyway.
If you're a determined cord-cutter or know that you only need one or a few channels to get your sports fix, here are the best streaming services for you.
DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream is expensive. It's the priciest of the five major NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live TV streaming services, but it's also the one with the most RSNs and offers the most for sports fanatics. Its cheapest, $70-a-month Plus package includes the major networks as well as ESPN, TNT, FS1 and TBS. You'll need to move up to the $90-a-month Choice plan to get any available RSN and many league channels such as the Big Ten network and NBA TV. Though DirecTV is currently offering $15 off the first two months on both plans. You can use its channel lookup tool to see which local channels and RSNs are available in your area.
ESPN Plus
ESPN's stand-alone streaming service is great for casual sports fans and is a must-have accessory for the zealots. It costs $7 a month or $70 a year and shows all out-of-market games, NHL hockey and MLS soccer games. It's also heavily invested in global soccer, hosting LaLiga games from Spain and Germany's Bundesliga. ESPN Plus is also the home of some English soccer: the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup and the Community Shield, along with the EFL Championship — which is the league below the Premier League. ESPN Plus doesn't show NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live NBAfloracing or NFL football games, but it does offer coverage of Wimbledon and the US Open. During the MLB baseball season, the service carries select out-of-market Major League baseball games as well as unlocking the MLB Archives of classic games. It also offers some NCAA football andfloracing, as well as the Little League World Series for fans looking to watch up-and-coming athletes. Some UFC matches are included as part of the subscription, with pay-per-view matches usually requiring an extra fee. The service is also home to exclusive shows, such as Peyton's Places starring Peyton Manning, and the vast 30 for 30 library. As an added inducement, the subscription removes the paywall on the ESPN website, giving you access to all online articles and reporting. There's something here for most sports aficionados and it's almost a necessity for hard-core hockey, soccer and UFC fans.
FuboTV costs $70 per month and offers 12 RSNs. It includes ESPN, but not TBS and TNT — which might be a problem for some sports fans. It also has most of your local networks like ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, along with FS1, FS2, BeIn Sports, the Big 10 and the floracing channel. You'll have to pay an extra $8 a month for the Fubo Extra Package or pay for the $80-a-month Elite streaming tier that includes Fubo Extra for the NHL, NBA, MLB, SEC, PAC 12 and Tennis channels. Check out which local networks and RSNs FuboTV offers here.
Hulu Plus Live TV
Hulu Plus Live TV offers an interesting middle ground for sports fans. On the one hand, the service lacks the ability to get many league-owned channels, but on the other, it comes automatically bundled with an ESPN Plus subscription. Hulu Plus Live TV costs $70 a month and carries four RSNs along with all the major networks plus ESPN, TBS, TNT, FS1 and FS2. It does come with the NFL network, but even the Sports add-on lacks the MLB, NHL, NBA or Tennis channels. The biggest appeal of the add-on is the inclusion of NFL Red Zone. Otherwise, it doesn't bring much value to the package. The inclusion of the Disney bundle might make Hulu Plus Live TV more appealing than some of the other services on this list. Not only do you get full access to the sports on ESPN Plus, but you also get Disney Plus as well. Perhaps Hulu Plus Live TV could be a good compromise for sports fans who are also Disney lovers or who share a house with those who are. Click the "View all channels in your area" link at the bottom of Hulu Plus Live TV's welcome page to see which local networks and RSNs are available where you NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live.
YouTube TV costs $65 a month and offers four RSNs, along with FS1, FS2, ESPN, TBS, TNT and all of the major national networks. The standard package includes just about every league channel with the exception of the NHL Network. There is an additional Sports Plus package, but it doesn't offer much other than BeIn and NFL Red Zone, so you might be able to skip it. Plug in your ZIP code on YouTube TV's welcome page to see which local networks and RSNs are available in your area.
Peacock Premium
Peacock, owned by NBC, NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live sports to go along with its on-demand entertainment. The $5-a-month Premium tier gives users access to English Premier League soccer, the Olympics, Sunday Night Football, select WWE events, Indy Car races and some PGA floracing tournaments. The service also airs a few other less popular sports, such as rugby, figure skating, track and field and cycling. Access to Sunday Night Football is great during the season, but for most of the year the platform is best suited for soccer and wrestling fans.
The Sling TV packages don't have a ton to offer any but the most casual fan. Sling Blue currently lacks a single RSN, but you can use it to watch some national broadcasts. Sling TV's Orange plan includes ESPN, while the Blue plan has FS1 and the NFL network. While both plans offer TBS, none of them gives you access to ABC, which could be a problem for many fans. The Sports Extra add-on, which costs $11 a month for either the Blue or Orange plan or $15 for the combined Orange and Blue plan, offers the NBA, NHL and MLB channels, along with the PAC 12, BeIn and Tennis channel, among others. The individual plans cost $35 a month each, and the Orange and Blue plan costs $50 a month. You can see which local channels you get here.Sports Streaming Services FAQs
Don't some on-demand streaming services show live sports too?
Yes. Hulu, Amazon Prime and Paramount Plus all air NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live sports once in a while, but their sports offerings are currently fairly limited. Paramount Plus, a CBS company, gives its $5-a-month Essential subscribers access to AFC football games during the NFL season, along with some UEFA Champions league soccer matches, though viewers don't have full access to their local CBS station. Paramount Plus is also home to the NWSL women's soccer league. Hulu has started streaming select NHL hockey games on its regular service, but it tends to save most of its sports streaming for its Hulu Plus Live TV package. Amazon Prime Video has partnered with the NFL to exclusively stream Thursday Night Football starting in 2022. This means that anyone who wants to watch their team play on Thursday night will need to be an Amazon Prime member. This could be important for fans while the season is in action, but the platform doesn't offer too much else during the rest of the year. Prime airs a few WNBA games over the summer, but that's about it. While these services do air some sports offerings, they focus mainly on on-demand entertainment. This might change in the future, but right now they don't offer too much specifically for sports fans.
Is there a lag or delay when streaming NMCA World Street Finals 2022 live compared with cable?
There is. The streaming delay is often as long as 40 seconds, compared with around 5 seconds for cable and satellite. This might be particularly worrisome for those with Twitter, group chats and phone push notifications, where a delay of this length can lead to spoilers of big plays. It could also potentially make it difficult for sports bettors to get in on the action. If you plan on legally betting, it might be a good idea to watch your game via cable or satellite. Turning off your phone's notifications and staying away from Twitter will let you stream your games without spoilers. Sure, your friends might try to call and text to brag about the score, but you can always choose to ignore them while you watch.
Can I cancel my subscriptions when the season is over?
Yes. All of these services are free of contracts and you can cancel at any time. Some offer free trials or special introductory discount memberships, which you will only get to use once. If you cancel and return at a later date, you will most likely have to pay full price. That said, you might not need a particular service year-round, which might make temporary cancellation an appealing way to save a few bucks.
How do I access these services on my devices?
All of the services on this list have apps that you can download. You will need a smart TV or a streaming device to watch the content on your TV. Just search for the name of the service on your smart TV or device, download the app on your TV and enter your sign-in information, and you should be ready to stream. You can also download the apps of these services on your phone, iPad

Text A low cost rabies vaccination clinic, sponsored by the Forsyth Spay Day Coalition, will be held at the Forsyth County Animal Shelter. Only 1 year vaccinations will be available. Only cash transactions accepted. Dogs, cats and ferrets only. Dogs must be leashed. Cats and ferrets must be in carriers.
All proceeds support the Forsyth Spay Day fund providing vouchers to assist low income households with the cost of altering their pets.
In recognition of SPAY DAY local private and public organizations have formed a partnership, and combined resources, to reduce pet overpopulation in Forsyth County by providing spay/neuter vouchers to very low-income residents of Forsyth County.
Each year Forsyth County Animal Control shelters over 8,000 animals. Only about 2,300 will be recovered by their owners, or find new homes. Approximately 3,000 of these dogs and cats are turned over to the shelter by their owners and one third will be a puppy or kitten. The leading animal welfare organizations in the nation have determined that spaying and neutering is a fundamental element of responsible pet ownership and the key to reducing the number of unwanted pets. This voucher program is a great opportunity to save some money and make a difference!
This year, the Spay Day event will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015 at various locations throughout Forsyth County. In order to qualify, pet owners must be on government assistance and a resident of Forsyth County. Please bring proof of income, proof of residency, and cash. The vouchers cost $10.
The Forsyth Spay Coalition consists of members of Forsyth County Animal Control, Humane Solution Spay/Neuter Program, Forsyth Humane Society, AARF, Fur-Ever Friends of NC, Project Pearl and the Forsyth Veterinary Medical Association.

How to Prevent Running Injuries
Wednesday, 08 March 2023 00:00Overtraining and overusing the feet are the main causes of common running injuries. A number of these common injuries are caused by overrunning. Runner's knee is a condition that is characterized by the back of the kneecap beginning to wear away and cause pain in the knee. This frequently occurs due to either a decrease in strength in the quadriceps muscles or ill-fitting shoes that are lacking in proper support for the inside of the forefoot. Strengthening exercises focusing on the quad muscle and sports orthotics are the usual treatments for those suffering from runner's knee. Prevention of the condition lies in a focus on hip strengthening and quad-strengthening to keep the kneecap aligned. To help learn the best exercise to heal runner's knee, one can also undergo physical therapy.
One common injury, called iliotibial band syndrome, is often caused by overtraining. This condition occurs when the iliotibial band gets irritated, creating pain and discomfort in the outside knee area. Plantar fasciitis, another common running injury, also occurs as a result of inflammation and irritation. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation and irritation of the bone in the foot. A large amount of pain is often experienced due to plantar fasciitis. The condition can be caused by a high arch, improper footwear, tight muscles, or flat feet. It can best be avoided by stretching and wearing appropriate footwear that supports the foot.
Another common injury for runners is stress fractures. These injuries occur due to running style, overtraining, or a lack of calcium. Stress fractures most often occur in several locations in runners, including the inner bone of the leg, the thighbone, the bone at the base of the spine and the bones of the toes. Stress fractures are best prevented by wearing proper footwear and by running on flat and hard surfaces; this will absorb some of the shock created during running.
Aside from overtraining, other causes of common running injuries include ill-fitting footwear, a lack of flexibility and strength, and irregular biomechanics. The best way to avoid running injuries is to prevent them from even occurring. Both iliotibial band syndrome and stress fractures are preventable. The first step that should be taken to prevent running injuries is to only wear footwear that fits properly and that is appropriate for whatever activity you are doing. Running shoes are the only protective gear available to runners that can safeguard them from sustaining injuries. Choosing the right pair of shoes is therefore extremely important. While running shoes are an important factor, it is also important to consider other facets of your running routine such as training schedules, flexibility, and strengthening. These elements should be considered and altered according to your running needs to best maximize your run and minimize the possibility of injury. Careful stretching before and after a run should also be considered to help prevent running injuries. Stretching muscles enables greater flexibility and a lesser chance of sustaining injury.

Matt acrylic water-based colors, especially formulated for airbrushing. Each color has been meticulously developed in collaboration with model painters who are specialists in fantasy figures and dioramas. Most of the colors in Game Air have their equivalents in Game Color, so that the modeler can combine both formulations and work simultaneously with a brush or an airbrush. Game Air can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner and Flow Improver. It is recommended to apply the colors in several layers on a previously primed surface. The colors preserves all the smallest detail of the model, they dry very quickly and after a few hours form a homogenous film of extraordinary resistance.
Game Air performs exceptionally well on all surfaces; the adherence of the colors on resin, plastic, steel and white metal is extraordinary. Compressor adjustment for these colors is recommended at 15 – 20 PSI or 0.5 a 1 kg. For best airbrush maintenance we recommend using the Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.
Safety: Game Air is not flammable, and does not contain solvents. Please see also certified safety information of the product on the Safety page.
Packaging: Game Air is presented in bottles of 17 ml./0.57 fl.oz. with eyedropper. This packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the container, so that It can be used in minimal quantities and preserved for a long time.

Most people have heard of diabetes and associate it with needing to administer insulin. But actually there are two different kinds of diabetes: diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Their symptoms can be similar, but their causes are totally different and thus their treatments are completely different.
Diabetes mellitus is the more common of the two; it is caused by a lack of insulin in the affected dog. Insulin helps to move glucose into cells. If there is no insulin, glucose builds up in the blood, and cells do not get the energy they need. Diseases such as Cushing's and pancreatitis can lead to diabetes mellitus. The use of steroids and being overweight can also predispose dogs to this condition. Diabetic dogs are all Type 1 diabetics in that they all require insulin (the oral medications that people with Type 2 diabetes use do not work in dogs) for the rest of their lives. Dogs with diabetes mellitus also frequently develop cataracts and urinary tract infections.
Both types of diabetes cause extreme water consumption; this symptom is called polydipsia. This leads to increased urination, and commonly accidents in the house. Polydipsia can be caused by many diseases, so laboratory tests are needed to confirm that it is being caused by diabetes.
Diabetes insipidus is caused by a reduced amount of ADH (antidiuretic hormone), a hormone that regulates water metabolism. ADH helps to keep water in the body, thus when there is too little ADH, the body can't conserve water well, and too much is released into the urine. The dog has to drink a lot of water to keep hydrated.
The drug vasopressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus. This may be administered by tablets given orally, or by drops put into the eye. Treatment is needed for the rest of the dog's life.
For both types of diabetes, it is important that water never be restricted. If the dog is polydipsic, her body is telling her to drink. There can be further organ damage if your dog is not allowed to drink enough water.
If your dog develops polydipsia, your veterinarian will need to get a good, thorough history, perform a physical exam, and do blood and urine tests. Your veterinarian can then help you and your dog develop a treatment plan.
