For some, only the best will do. The next generation of e-bike battery packs is now here with a massive 52 Volts. This higher voltage pack adds more speed and more torque than you ever thought possible from the geared hub motor. The RipCurrent S is the first production fat bike to fully take advantage of the new 52V standard.
The e-JOE Epik's thumb throttle is not the most intuitive (it's a bit like some powered lawn mowers), but you soon get used to it. The handlebar-mounted display could be easier to understand. These minor negatives aside, owners love the e-JOE Epik's practicality and reliability. It delivers precisely what you expect from a folding electric bicycle.

Riding Position: You also may wish to check out an e-bike's riding position before investing in it. For short trips, the riding position might not make much difference, but for long journeys, the upright "Dutch" style with pulled-back handlebars is very comfortable – particularly for tall riders. The same goes for mountain bike styles, though these bikes are not often designed to actually go off-road.

Built with durable e-bike rated components, the Archer is ready for trails and pot-holes. The oversized axles and adjustable suspension provide a confident feel as you race down the trails or streets.
Another type of electric assist motor, often referred to as the mid-drive system, is increasing in popularity. With this system, the electric motor is not built into the wheel but is usually mounted near (often under) the bottom bracket shell. In more typical configurations, a cog or wheel on the motor drives a belt or chain that engages a pulley or sprocket fixed to one of the arms of the bicycle's crankset. Thus the propulsion is provided at the pedals rather than at the wheel, being eventually applied to the wheel via the bicycle's standard drive train. An electric mid-drive combined with a hub gear at the back hub may require care due to the lack of a clutch mechanism to soften the shock to the gears at the moment of re-engagement. A stepless / coninuous ratio gear hub or a fully automatic gear hub may reduce the chocks due to the viscosity of oils used for liquid coupling instead of the mechanical couplings of the conventional gear hubs.
This Electric Bicycle kit includes everything needed(except battery) to convert your standard bike into a top-of-the-line performance electric bike. Crank speed sensor for pedal assist. 36 V 500 W super power brushless gearless hub motor.
Globally, electric bicycles outsell electric cars by a wide margin. An estimated 29.3 million e-bicycles were sold in 2012, with perhaps 90 percent of those selling in China, which has more electric bikes than cars on its roads. E-bicycles are popular in Europe, too, selling about 380,000 a year in Germany and 175,000 in the Netherlands in 2012. By comparison, about 120,000 electric cars were sold worldwide.
In a parallel hybrid motorized bicycle, such as the aforementioned 1897 invention by Hosea W. Libbey, human and motor inputs are mechanically coupled either in the bottom bracket, the rear wheel, or the front wheel, whereas in a (mechanical) series hybrid cycle, the human and motor inputs are coupled through differential gearing. In an (electronic) series hybrid cycle, human power is converted into electricity and is fed directly into the motor and mostly additional electricity is supplied from a battery.

Photo: Zap Electric's power-assist kit turns a conventional bike into an electric one. There's a bolt-on DC electric motor (weighing just over 3kg or 7lb) just above the back wheel, behind the police officer's foot, pressing against the tire and driving it by simple friction. The motor's powered by a compact lead-acid battery (weighing about 5.5 kg or 12 lb) inside a protective nylon bag. This kit adds quite bit of weight to the bike, but gives extra range and speed when needed. Photo taken in Santa Rosa, California courtesy of US DOE/NREL.
Power-assist: Also known as pedal-assist bikes, these are the bicycle equivalents of hybrid cars: they're designed to be pedaled quite a lot of the time and electrically powered either when you're tired or when you feel like a bit of electric help (when you're going up hill, for example). Unlike full-power bikes, they don't have hub motors; instead, there's a separate electric motor mounted near the rear wheel and driving it either through the gear sprocket or simply by pressing against the rear tire. Where a hub motor is difficult or impossible to pedal without any power (because you're effectively turning it into a generator), power-assist motors turn easily with little or no resistance when you pedal. That gives power-assist bikes much greater range than hub-motor ones (as much as 80–145km or 50–90 miles).
The e-JOE Epik's 350-watt motor and 36-volt battery will carry you up to 30 miles (in ideal conditions) at up to 20 mph. It's sturdy, too, with a weight rating of up to 300 pounds. Yet it's quite light and easy to stow in your trunk or trailer. You can get some exercise (or not), and beat the commuter rush.
If you're going for a full-time electric bike, the distance you travel on a single charge will be reduced considerably, though it's difficult to offer precise figures. Manufacturers will quote anywhere from 20 to 40 miles while simultaneously using phrases like "in ideal conditions."
the reason for the weirdness in the law text? The reason is till recently, <50CC gas motor assisted bicycles were completely legal. Car dealers didn't like it, and pushed to get the laws changed to make it harder to use them. They reclassified the under 50cc motor assisted gas bicycles as a moped, requiring all the usual trappings. There are a huge number of electric bikes to choose from. That can lead to confusion, but with a bit of thought, and the help of this e-bike report, it won't take long to identify the best solution for your particular needs. E-bikes can be a useful part of cardiac rehabilitation programmes, since health professionals will often recommend a stationary bike be used in the early stages of these. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programmes can reduce deaths in people with coronary heart disease by around 27%;[56] and a patient may feel safer progressing from stationary bikes to e-bikes.[57] They require less cardiac exertion for those who have experienced heart problems.[58] Finally we are getting somewhere. I have a bicycle, check. It has an electric motor, check. I weighed it, and it was 80 pounds, check. When I rode it, it went 23-MPH. Whoops! "Cannot attain a speed of more than 20-MPH" Feature: Light weight design, easy to transport; Eco friendly and safe to use High quality and long life expectancy; Stored in a sturdy aluminum casing User friendly and come with holder and charger Modern Shape design, easy to install and remove 1 year manufacturer warranty for CHARGER; Recommended to be used with 36V 250-800W electric bicycle motor Specification: .

If you're thinking about getting around on two wheels more often, this is the bike for you. An Electric Boost for Bicyclists by J. David Goodman. The New York Times, January 31, 2010. There are over 120 million electric bicycles in China, and now Chinese makers have got behind the technology, they are driving growth in other world markets. An all-wheel drive electric fat bike with adjustable drive modes (rear, front or both with traction control), beautifully integrated battery and compact motors blend in making it stealth. Upgraded quick release and thru-axle design makes the rear wheel easier to remove and the…... An e-bike conforming to these conditions is considered to be a pedelec in the EU and is legally classed as a bicycle. The EN15194 standard is valid across the whole of the EU and has also been adopted by some non-EU European nations and also some jurisdictions outside of Europe (such as the state of Victoria in Australia).[13] The basics of an electric bicycle are simple. The electric motor propels it, a battery supplies the power, and a throttle provides speed control – although not all electric bikes have a throttle. The difference lies in how these components are arranged and what assistance they give. Battery costs vary enormously. Cheap batteries are available, but you just don't know what you're getting. Our advice is to buy only those recommended by the manufacturer. You'll likely pay between $300 and $500, but the good news is you'll only be buying one every few years.

What YouTubers Think Of… Rise Of The Tomb Raider
15 December 2015, 16:21 | Updated: 17 July 2017, 12:12
Lara's coming and changing the game!
We've looked at Call of Duty. We've discussed Star Wars Battlefront. And we've even taken a dive amongst the vast opinions of Just Cause 3. But there's one very important lady in 2015 we haven't covered at all, and if you've read the title of this article correctly then you already know who we're talking about.
We are of course going to be reviewing Rise Of The Tomb Raider; a game which has been considered by the industry as one of the most successful AAA sequels in recent years. But who cares what the industry has to say? Let's see what our faves on YouTube want you to know!
In the same style as our previous round-ups, let's kick off this week's review of Tomb Raider with a look at it's official launch trailer.
Lara's back and she's kicking all the ass she can find! Following the hugely successful debut of this new-age Lara Croft, we can look forward to seeing a more emotionally scared protagonist as she deals with the legacy of her family name. This game takes us to the tombs of Syria for some raiding action as we all get another chance to engage with one of the most iconic female gaming characters of all time.
FIRST REVIEW: theRadBrad (a.k.a 'The Nervous One')
We've come to adore theRadBrad and his charmingly relatable style of Let's Play commentary. Once again, Brad lets us all just sit and absorb the opening monologue - a video creating style that is so unheard of in YouTube videos that it's uncomfortable to used to the silence. Pausing frequently mind-action to 'appreciate the scenery', Brad speaks the thoughts of everyone watching back at home as they realise just how impressive video game graphics are getting in 2015. This seems to settle the notion that Lara Croft is now at the forefront of the new digital age.
SECOND REVIEW: OliWhiteGames (a.k.a 'Deeply Impressed')
*A collective squeal as we all realise Oli has a gaming channel!* If you ever find yourself lacking enough Oli White content, boy do we have some news for you! This 40 minute long gameplay video demonstrates Oli pretty much gushing over how beautiful Tomb Raider is (or maybe he just meant Lara herself...). 'THIS IS SO COOL' is the most important quote you need to take from Mr White's gameplay introduction, and he's definitely not lying.
THIRD REVIEW: DashieGames (a.k.a 'The Verbal One')
We've seen the calm gamers on YouTube who play out every second of their interaction with a game - but now it's time for some anarchy. DashieGames takes video game commentary to a whole new level as he responds to the entire opening monologue in hilarious fashion, and then some. One of the greatest things about Dashie's commentary is his stream of consciousness over the top of the action. 'I DON'T KNOW THE XBOX BUTTONS' will slay me to the grave. In everyone's gaming brain, there is a Dashie screaming at the TV.
FOUTH REVIEW: Mini Ladd (a.k.a 'The Classic Fan')
Another gamer that speaks what is in everybody's mind - how the hell does Lara survive all of these adventures?! ML makes some important observations about the difficulty level of the game and how unforgiving the timings can be when it comes to escaping near-certain death. As a massive fan of the original franchise, his opinion is crazy trusted on this Tomb Raider review. But if he was to make one thing certain - scorpions are a whirlwind of nope.
FIFTH REVIEW: Zero Punctuation (a.k.a 'The Vicious One')
Now, for my favourite creator of all time. This is Zero Punctuation's first time in the round-up, but I have been a fan of his work for many, MANY a year. Short, punchy and ever so bitter, Yahtzee takes on Rise of the Tomb Raider (otherwise known as 'Exertion Noise The Game'). Much metaphor. Many anger. Very humour. Now, for fans of ZP, you know he hates pretty much every game in the world and gives incredibly precise reasons for it. What he hates the most from Lara this time round is her lack of well-zipped up clothing and thin storyline. But for those graphics, not even Yahtzee cares!
POSITIVE: I mean, those graphics, amirite?! Lara Croft seems to overcome the sequel-fears by making a game that is not only ridiculously fun, but emotionally captivating to boot. It plays like butter and rarely suffers from that dreaded frame-rate lag of other games on the Xbox One.
NEGATIVE: It's full of side quests. Literally, full of them. They mean NOTHING to the main game other than unlocking that glorious 100% achievement thing some people go for. So essentially you pay a lot of money for content you barely even want to interact with.
Final Score: She may pant all the way through the game, but the game functions very well for the sheer size of it's content. Just, don't take notes on the voice acting - it's not that great...

This isn't a review – it's just a quick post to talk about the BBC Young Dancer competition that I watched at The Lowry last night. But not in too much detail, or I'll get my wrists slapped by the BBC.
The Young Dancer competition first started in 2015, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it on TV – seeing new talent, getting an insight into coaching and rehearsal processes and learning all about other forms of dance. The only downside was how sparse the coverage was of the category finals (unlike the grand final, which is transmitted live).
So this year I was delighted to be able to watch the Ballet Category Final live and in full. The six young contestants were exceptionally high quality, and each one had different strengths, well showcased by their classical solos, pas de deux and more contemporary individual dances. Many of them had choreography even professionals would find challenging.
I was sat right by the judges' table, and was totally starstruck by my proximity to Deborah Bull (former Royal Ballet star). I was also right next to a camera, so I'm wondering if my face might end up on BBC 4…
Best of all though, was that my personal choice of category winner was the same as the judges'. I hope they go on to do well in the final. And in the meantime, I get to be a bit smug about being right – my years of watching and reviewing must be starting to pay off!

Summary: FAST INVEST is one of the most beginner-friendly P2P investing platforms on the market. They make it possible to start investing with only 1 euro. If you regret any investments, you can sell back the loans with the MoneyBack guarantee, whenever you want. The security on the platform is also quite good with loan originators having skin in the game, 2FA account login, buyback guarantee on loans and much more.
It's completely free to use their platform
Last updated: April 2, 2020
FAST INVEST review 2020 – Is it safe?
The P2P investment platform FAST INVEST has over the past years gained a fair amount of interest from investors across Europe. As a result, we have decided to investigate how secure the platform really is.
Are you considering investing through the platform? Then we recommend that you read this FAST INVEST review in order to get a better feel for their company and P2P lending platform. We will, of course, make our best assessment of how secure the platform is, and maybe also share a tip or two with you.
Our FASTINVEST.com review ended up being a bit long. Therefore, you can advantageously use the navigation below to find exactly what you want to know more about. Of course, you can also read the review from one end to the other. However, before reading the review, we will quickly point out that the review is only an expression of our own opinion. Therefore, you should not consider anything in this FAST INVEST review as financial advice.
Learn about the following in our FAST INVEST review:
What is FAST INVEST?
FAST INVEST is a visionary European company that wants to make it easier for private investors to invest. Through the crowdlending branch of their company, they focus primarily on consumer-based loans with a loan duration of up to 2 years. However, they are working to add more diversification opportunities on an ongoing basis.
The loans offered on the platform are 100% pre-funded by loan originators and originate from European countries.
FAST INVEST is a UK-registered company. They have offices in both the UK and in Lithuania. Overall, FAST INVEST employs over 20 people, which among other things takes care of platform development, marketing and support.
The company and the platform launched in 2015, and have since then have achieved phenomenal growth within the FinTech area. Compared to other P2P lending platforms, FAST INVEST has a reasonably large investor base with over 30,000 registered investors.
With as little as the minimum investment of €1, you can join the platform and start investing.
What rate of return can you expect?
At FAST INVEST's platform, it is possible to get a return of 9-13%, depending on which loans you choose to invest in. But since you can choose your desired risk/reward ratio in relation to the loans, it is very individual what the return on investment will end up being for each investor on the platform.
Compared to a lot of similar platforms like TWINO, Ekassa and NEO Finance, this return is very reasonable.
Who can invest via FAST INVEST?
Both individuals and companies can invest their money through FAST INVEST. Therefore, you can also use their platform if you want to invest through your business.
If you want to become an investor on FAST INVEST, you must meet these few requirements:
- Being at least 18 years old
- Having a valid email address
- Having a bank account in your name within the EU
- Being verified with a national identification card or passport
If you meet the requirements above, it is possible for you to invest via FAST INVEST. To get started investing, just do the following:
- Sign up as an investor
- Add funds to your investment account
- Choose a loan from the loan list and invest
In order to withdraw your funds, you will have to verify your identity with either a national identification card or your passport.
If you want to invest via a company, it is possible on the FAST INVEST platform. When you register a business, you must, of course, comply with the requirements of ordinary investors.

How safe is FAST INVEST?
The security of FAST INVEST primarily depends mainly on 4 things; how safe the investments are, how trustworthy the loan originators are, how secure the platform is and how solid the company is. In the following, we, therefore, take a look at these things one by one.
How safe are the investments?
As the first safety-related thing in this FAST INVEST P2P review, we have taken a look at how safe the investments you can make on the platform are. We will, therefore, take a look below on what measures the company has taken to secure the investments on their platform.
Loan originator risk
On FAST INVEST's platform, you can find different loans to invest in. These loans come from several different loan originators. It is therefore important to know how safe these loan originators are.
Unfortunately, there is currently little information about the loan originators.
Due to a lack of transparency about the company's loan originators, in our overall assessment of FAST INVEST, we have assumed that the loan originator risk is greater than it may actually be.
FAST INVEST has promised that there will be more transparency in this area in the future. At present, however, it is not changed, as it will require a re-negotiation with the respective loan originators. But when the existing contracts expire, new contracts are made with full disclosure.
Skin in the game
All loans at FAST INVEST are 100% pre-funded by the loan originators. In order to align loan originator and investor incentives, it is required that the loan originators retain at least a 5% stake in the loans. This means that if a loan originator has a €1,000 loan, they must keep at least €50 of the loan themselves. The rest of the loan can then be open for you to invest in.
This ensures that the loan originators have skin in the game, and thereby only underwrite good loans.
BuyBack and MoneyBack guarantee
All loans at FAST INVEST are protected with their BuyBack and MoneyBack guarantee.
The 3-day BuyBack guarantee is useful in case a borrower cannot repay his loan. If the loan is delayed for three or more days, the guarantee will cover the difference. The loans with the BuyBack guarantee are marked in the loan list.
The 1-day MoneyBack guarantee covers you if at some point you do not want your loans anymore. In that case, you can sell your loan back to FAST INVEST during one business day. The MoneyBack guarantee basically makes the need for a secondary market obsolete, which is why there doesn't exit a FAST INVEST secondary market.
You can use the MoneyBack guarantee by choosing the loan you want to sell in the My Investment section. Here you just press sell. Then, during one business day, FAST INVEST will take over the loan and deposit funds into your account.
However, you must be aware that if you choose to sell your loan, then you will lose the interest you have earned so far on the loan. You will only get back your initial investment in the loan.
How secure is the platform?
As part of our FASTINVEST.com review, we have also taken a look at how secure the platform is itself. Here, FAST INVEST has made some great security measures.
Two-factor authentication
One of the most important things, when you have an investment account online, is that it is properly protected. One does not want strangers to have access to their account, and thereby abuse one's money.
Here two-factor authentication probably is the best way possible to protect you from extraneous login attempts to your account. Therefore, we took a look at whether it is possible to make use of it for account login, or not.
Here we found that it is possible to use two-factor authentication for account login on FAST INVEST.
Additional security
In addition to two-factor authentication, a number of additional security measures have been taken on the platform.
Among other things, users can only send money to and from bank accounts in their own names.
In addition, FAST INVEST also has an automatic system that checks its users' activity log. If situations arise with suspicious behavior then a specialized team of selected security experts in the company investigates the situation. If fraud is suspected, the account is deactivated.
Last but not least, customer service will also contact their users to verify transactions if a transaction exceeds a specific amount of money.
All in all, a lot of security measures have been made on the platform to protect you as an investor.
How solid is the company?
Over the years, there has been some controversy with FAST INVEST as a company. That's why we, in this FAST INVEST review, have taken a look at how solid the company behind the platform really is.
First and foremost, it's important to mention the fact that FAST INVEST LTD, which is registered in the UK, has been profitable over the past few years. Therefore, it's unlikely that things like the company going into bankruptcy could damage investors anytime soon.
Through a conversation with a representative from the company, we also found that necessary measures had been set up to protect investors' money in the event that FAST INVEST goes bankrupt. Here the company will distribute all loans and investments to appropriate authorities.
Therefore, investors at FAST INVEST should still receive the repayments from the loan originators since the mentioned situation does not free the borrower or the loan originator from the obligations to investors at FAST INVEST.
What you can do to invest safely
FAST INVEST has done a lot to make it safe for their investors to invest through their platform. Of course, there are some things that could be better. This is almost always the case with relatively new FinTech companies. But to make it more secure to invest via FAST INVEST, there are actually some things you can do yourself:
- Invest in loans with a buyback guarantee
- Ensure that you diversify between more than just a few loans
- Invest in loans from more than one loan originator
It is a great idea to invest in buyback guarantee loans. This way, you ensure that your funds are secured if a borrower cannot repay.
In addition, it is super important that you invest in more than just a few loans. Because even if you invest in a buyback guarantee loan, keep in mind that a guarantee is only as secure as the one behind it.
Last but not least, we also believe that it is a good idea to invest in loans from several loan originators. If something goes wrong with one of the loan originators, you do not have all your eggs in a basket.
It may seem like a lot to concentrate on at once. However, here you can advantageously use FAST INVEST's auto-invest function. It makes it easy to invest more safely.
So how you use the platform actually influences how secure an investment experience you will get.
Set up a FAST INVEST auto-invest strategy
One of the best things about FAST INVEST is the possibility of setting up an auto-invest strategy. The auto investing function gives you the opportunity to invest in loans, without having to spend time cherry-picking loans on an ongoing basis.
Our advice: In our opinion, an investor's time is better spent elsewhere than by selecting loans on a daily basis. Therefore, we recommend that you set up an auto-invest strategy.
If you want to use auto-invest, you can either choose one of FAST INVEST's predefined strategies or make your very own. You can choose between beginner, professional, expert or custom portfolio.
Create an auto-invest strategy:
It is obviously easiest to choose one of the predefined strategies. But if you do, please be aware of how much you invest in a single loan via the strategy you choose. Whether your investment portfolio is small or large, it is important to diversify properly. So make sure to check if you will get enough loans in your portfolio, based on the strategy you choose.
You can also choose to make your very own investment strategy at FAST INVEST. In fact, we recommend that you do so. Just choose to make a Custom Portfolio. That way, you get full control of how you invest your money. Below you can see an overview of how to make your Custom Portfolio:
Whether you choose a predefined auto-invest strategy or make your own, it is clearly advised that you do one of those things. This way you can automatically reinvest the interest you receive on your account. Thus, you can best take advantage of the compound interest effect, and see your investments grow even faster.
Do you want to know more about FAST INVEST auto-invest? Then check out their website.
Conclusion of our FAST INVEST review
We believe that FAST INVEST is a reasonably secure platform for investing your money. However, there are some small things that could use some more transparency. For example, a P2P investment platform like FAST INVEST should disclose which loan originators you take over the loans, as is seen from, among others, Mintos and Grupeer. Unfortunately, they do not do so at the time of writing. Therefore, this also resulted in a reduction of our overall rating for FAST INVEST.
Besides the lack of transparency about who the loan originators are, we do not have much to put a finger on in this FAST INVEST P2P review. The platform is both user-friendly and the risk/reward level is pretty great. At the same time, you don't have to invest manually, as you can simply use the great auto investment features on the platform.
Do you feel that the platform is for you after reading our FAST INVEST review? Then click on the button below to be taken directly to their website. Here you can open an investment account in order to start investing at FAST INVEST:

Win 7 inplace upgrade as non-destructive repair ???
I've been bugging MS to help me with a problem doing a 100% clean Reinstall of Office 365 Home 64-bit on my Win 7 Pro 64-bit PC. Each Reinstall of O365 creates 70± Warning messages in Event Viewer that certain registry keys are protected and cannot be modified by Office 365 Click-to-Run. (O365 actually works fine so far - I just don't like those Warning messages and want to Reinstall without them.)
The MS O365 help line tech 2 level person accessed my PC and showed me how my further Event Viewer error messages show errors with ntdll.dll and kernelbase.dll. He says the only way we can fix the problem with Reinstall of Office 365 Home 64-bit is to repair those dll's in my Win 7 Pro 64-bit OS, and the only way to do that in a non-destructive fashion is to do an "inplace upgrade" of my Win 7 off the .iso image of Win 7 Pro 64-bit.
What do you think?
First, please see the very interesting article about non-destructive repair using inplace upgrade at
Second, following the instructions of the MS tech 2, I am downloading an .iso of Win 7 Pro 64-bit. [Source redacted.]
The .iso I am downloading is called en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso. I see that the file's date is August of 2015 (last year), so that means I'll have to do a lot of Windows Updates afterwards (and carefully so as to avoid the updates that install the Win 10 "spy" features)? Do you think there are better .iso sources for the install, maybe already updated?
Third, he also showed me the normal MS Windows .iso download page https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows7 , but when I inserted my perfectly good Key for my Win 7 at the bottom of that page, it did NOT verify. He said that MS's verification server is down, and has been down for some days. (Really?) I know my key is good because I used it for a re-install of the OS almost two years ago on this PC.
Fourth, my PC is actually dual-boot Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit and Win 10 Pro 64-bit. (FYI - I have separate keys/licenses for each - the 10 is NOT an upgrade of the 7.) Do you think the non-destructive repair of Win 7 using inplace upgrade will wipe out the 10? I think I'm OK because I did a destructive 7 repair about 1½ years ago, and that did not wipe out the other OS (which was then 8.1, since changed to 10). But is there anything special I should do to preserve the 10?
Fifth - reminder that my core problem isn't with the OS, which seems to be 100% fine. It's only that I am getting 70+ Warning messages about non-modifiable registry keys whenever I reinstall my O365 Home 64-bit.
Hey, what do you think???? Easy, huh?

I'll recommend you to edit your post and remove the link for MS Win 7 download. I'm sure they won't like to see a link for their server on the web.
If you are having trouble with the existing register files, I'll recommend to do a clean install. I know it takes a loooooong time to do it, but there is nothing as a clean install. Along the years you get a lot of trash on your system and a clean install is the best solution.
For the updates:
KB3125574 contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up through April 2016.
Its single, Multi language, 488MB update file (msu). On a recent installation, you must have first to install KB3020369.
For more information read this article: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/...ows-7-and-8-1/
If you launch Win 7 setup installation (from inside actual installation) it will do a "upgrade". It should reinstall win 7 keeping the others programs and settings. There is no reason to have your Win 10 installation modified. But, as always, backup your data first.

MHz - Thanks very much for your post. I've made the edit.
By "clean install", do you mean the "inplace upgrade" that has been suggested and that (we hope) won't touch (a) my existing installed apps or data or (b) my dual-boot?
Or do you mean a true new install wiping everything out?
[By the way, I have made almost no use of this Win 7 Pro 64-bit machine until a few weeks ago when I installed the O365 and worked on taxes on its Excel. Not even email. (I'm still relying heavily on an old Optiplex 755 with XP Pro SP3 and updates through the POS hack.) So not much has piled up or rusted on this Win 7 machine.]
Thanks - please advise.

Clean install = Wipe actual installation and start from scratch.
Upgrade = Reinstall windows over the existing, that should replace Windows and keep other programs and personal data.

I guess they are at HKEY_Local_Machine, but not sure. Also not sure if a Upgrade will clean the problem. Give it a try.

To all - Before I try a "non-destructive repair" of my Win 7 Pro 64-bit, please consider that my PC is actually DUAL-BOOTING Win 7 Pro 64-bit and Win 10 Pro 64-bit. Each has its separate partition on the hard drive, and there are other partitions with the needed boot-loader/MBR and other things that we rarely think about.
How should I do the "non-destructive repair" of my Win 7 Pro 64-bit so that it only refreshes the Win 7 Pro and doesn't touch the Win 10 Pro or the needed ancillary partitions and keeps my PC as a dual-booting beauty?

Ogilvie Syndrome
(Acute Colonic Pseudo-obstruction)
Pathology ||
Signs and Symptoms ||
Diagnosis ||
Treatment ||
Overview ||
Related Articles || References and Resources || Leave a Comment || Search
The underlying mechanism behind Ogilvie syndrome is not fully understood. The current working hypothesis is that the autonomic nervous system, which is partially responsible for gut motility, stops working properly.
Therefore, in order to understand Ogilvie syndrome, we have to understand a little about the autonomic nervous system. This branch of the nervous system is broken up into two parts: sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response and the parasympathetic system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response. When it comes to the colon, the parasympathetic system increases gut motility and the sympathetic system decreases motility.
Ok, so what is happening in colonic pseudo-obstruction? It is believed that there is an over-abundance of sympathetic input to the colon. This causes a failure of the gut to contract (aka: peristalsis) and therefore poop is not pushed along properly.
If the colon stops contracting then it starts to expand as mucous and stool fills it up. For unknown reasons, the most common part of the colon that is involved in Ogilvie syndrome is the cecum (first portion of the large colon) and the ascending colon.
Signs and Symptoms
Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction causes belly pain, nausea, and vomiting. In addition, since the colon is not contracting, many patients have obstipation (ie: a fancy term for intractable constipation).
If medical attention is not sought soon, the colon may perforate, which can cause peritonitis (infection of the abdominal cavity). Fever, chills, and frank septic shock may occur in the setting of colonic perforation and peritonitis.
CT scans, abdominal xrays, barium swallow studies, and colonoscopies are commonly used as adjunctive means for diagnosing pseudo-obstruction.
Treatment of Ogilvie syndrome is typically conservative. This means making the patient NPO (ie: nothing by mouth) and placing a nasogastric tube (NGT) to suction. The NGT helps "decompress" the colon from above until the pseudo-obstruction resolves.
If conservative measures fail then a medication known as neostigmine can be given. Neostigmine is a parasympathetic "mimic". It blocks the breakdown of acetylcholine by inhibiting an enzyme known as acetylcholine esterase. Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, if there is more acetylcholine around, then more gut motility occurs (hence why neostigmine has become a very effective treatment for Ogilvie's syndrome, see pathology above).
Another medication known as methylnaltrexone may also be useful in cases of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction caused by opioids.
In cases that are refractory to conservative and medical therapies the use of colonoscopic decompression is extremely effective. Patient's who have evidence of colonic perforation require prompt surgical exploration. Surgery is typically used as a last resort, but is always necessary if perforation has occurred.
Ogilvie syndrome, or acute colonic pseudo-obstruction, is a pathologic dilation of the colon that occurs in the absence of a mechanical cause. It is believed to be the result of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Diagnosis is made with xrays and CT scans of the abdomen. Treatment is with nasogastric decompression, neostigmine, methylnaltrexone, colonoscopic decompression, or surgery in advanced cases.

Dentures—Denton, TX
Restore Your Grin to Its Whole Health Again
Dentures have been completing patients' smiles for centuries. Evidence shows that the first use of dentures dates back to Ancient Egyptian times. Luckily for you, dentures have come a long way since our ancient ancestors used them. While other replacement methods provide an alternative to dentures in Denton, they are still preferred by patients who want a faster, easier, and more affordable solution to replace their teeth. Keep reading to discover the amazing benefits that dentures from Prime Dentistry will bring your smile.
Why Choose Prime Dentistry for Dentures?
- The fastest solution for replacing multiple teeth
- The durability allows you to enjoy a full smile for years
- We create dentures to match your natural smile
What Are Dentures?
Dentures today are better than ever before. Using an impression of your upper and lower gums, Dr. Ahir or Dr. Shekhadiya will create a denture mold that accounts for every little bump and ridge in your mouth. Dentures are composed of a gum-colored base, which is attached to a set of false teeth. They rest on top of your gums using suction or clasps to stay in place. Most dentures today are made out of flexible resins that provide you with comfort and function. The best part is that they are completely removeable, which makes cleaning incredibly easy.
Your Options for Dentures
You have 3 amazing options for your dentures:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are optimal for patients who are missing multiple teeth in the same arch of their mouth. A major benefit of partial dentures is that they maintain your remaining natural tooth structure. Typically, a partial denture is built around your remaining teeth and held in place using clasps to complete your smile. Even though they rely on supportive mechanisms, partials are still removeable.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are the quickest and most effective way to replace an entire arch of teeth. They rest on top of your gums, staying in place with natural suction. You can even use a little denture adhesive to keep them in place, but they should be removed each night for cleaning.
Implant-Retained Dentures
If you're looking for maximum security, implant-retained dentures are your best option. Dental implants are tiny titanium posts that get placed directly in the jawbone to support and stabilize your dentures. Dental implants also prevent the deterioration of your jawbone, which is caused by missing teeth. Once your implants are in place, you can simply click your dentures in and out of your mouth for the most secure and functional restoration.
Benefits of Dentures
One of the biggest advantages of dentures is their versatility. Whether you're missing multiple teeth or a whole row, they can restore your smile with ease. Besides having a full and beautiful-looking smile, dentures can boost your confidence, improve your speech, and help you chew all of your favorite foods. Plus, implant-retained dentures can improve your natural biting power by 50%.
Additionally, dentures are the only tooth replacement that is completely removeable. This allows you the unique choice of when to show off your smile and when to clean it. However, they also help fill out the appearance of your face and cheeks, so you'll notice a difference when they aren't in your mouth. With proper care, dentures can give you a beautifully complete smile for years to come.
The Cost of Dentures
The cost of dentures can vary because every case is different. It will depend on how many teeth you're missing and the overall condition of your mouth. Dr. Ahir and Dr. Shekhadiya accept a variety of dental insurance plans to provide you with quality dentures at an affordable price.

Natural Vitamin K2 Drops for children and adults
Vitamin K2 drops make it very easy, to cover the daily demand of the body for vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 in form of drops are ideal for children and also for all people who do not want to take vitamin K2 capsules.
Vitamin K2 drops contain 100% natural all-trans Vitamin K2 (MK-7) in the highest quality available. To optimise bioavailability and stability, MCT oil from coconut is used as a base. The Vitamin K2 drops are free from any additives and allergens.
Advantages of Vitamin K2 Drops:
- provides 100% natural Vitamin K2 (as MK-7)
- supplies 50 mcg all-trans Vitamin K2 per drop
- manufactured by using a natural natto fermentation process
- free from synthetic Vitamin K2
- very high bioavailability and bioactivity of up to 72 hours
- easy application of the drops by using the provided pipette
- on a base of natural olive oil and MCT oil
- ideal for kids and children who cannot swallow pills
- free form allergens and additives
- suitable for vegans and vegetarians
- has a great price/performance ratio
Vitamin K2 drops for strong bones and healthy arteries
Vitamin K2 drops provide natural Vitamin K2, produced by using a natural natto fermentation. Vitamin K2 drops are ideal for people who have an increased risk for cardiovascular symptoms or osteoporosis and want to make sure to get enough of this essential vitamin to activate all vitamin-K2-dependent GLA-proteins in the body.
Advantages of natural Vitamin K2:
- Natural Vitamin K2 has the highest bioactivity and is reaching a high blood concentration very fast.
- Vitamin K2 has an activity of up to 72 hours in the body.
- Vitamin K2 activates all vitamin-k2-dependent Gla proteins to protect the health.
- Vitamin K2 is also fully active outside of the liver and is therefore capable to protect the health of the arteries and bones.
That is how Vitamin K2 drops protect both heart and circulation
Vitamin K2 activates Matrix-Gla-Protein (MGP), which is responsible for the regulation of calcium in the arterial walls. MGP is the most effective inhibiting factor against arteriosclerosis and can only be activated through Vitamin K2.
That is why a deficiency in Vitamin K2 leads inevitably to arteriosclerosis. It is true that healthy arterial tissue contains 100 times more K2 than do calcified arteries. Unfortunately, many studies clearly show that our food does not deliver enough Vitamin K2 to activate the Gla-Proteins in the bones and arteries optimally.
An unambiguous connection between Vitamin K2 and the reduction of arterial calcification and heart diseases was first documented in 2004 in the course of the widely funded, well-controlled Rotterdam-Heart-Study.
Approximately 4,800 women and men over the age of 55 took part in this study in Holland over the course of 10 years. Those persons who in this time frame, who took Vitamin K2-rich food, had up to 50% less calcium deposit in their arteries.
At the same time, they had up to 50 percent less risk of fatal cardiovascular disease and about a 25% lower mortality rate from that source.
These advantages appeared only for participants who had taken more than 32 micrograms of Vitamin K2 daily. A higher consumption of Vitamin K1, on the other hand, did not lead to such positive effects on the cardiovascular system.
Bones remain more stable with Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 has shown in studies that when it comes to the building of strong bones, it is exactly as important as Calcium and Vitamin D3. To be sure, Vitamin D3 causes the build-up of osteocalcin. But only Vitamin K2 can activate osteocalcin, the protein, that stores calcium in the bones.
This means that a deficiency of Vitamin K2, even in the presence of an adequate supply of calcium and Vitamin D3, can lead to a reduction in bone density and osteoporosis.
Instead, calcium gets stored in the arterial walls and leads to arteriosclerosis. That also explains why so many older persons suffer from calcified arteries and at the same time, have brittle, calcium-deficient bones.
In order to store calcium in the bones, certain proteins, the Gla-Proteins are necessary. But these must be activated in order to fulfill their role. Only Vitamin K2 makes this decisive activation step possible.
Without activated Gla-Proteins, calcium wanders uncontrolled out of the bones into the arteries, where it promotes arteriosclerosis. Already in 1984, scientists observed that patients with osteoporosis-caused bone fractures exhibited up to 70% less Vitamin K in their blood than a control group of the same age.
Do Vitamin K2 drops cause interactions?
Persons who take blood anti-coagulants or suffer from a disturbance of blood coagulation, should talk to their doctor before taking this product.
The reason is that the intake of Vitamin K2 per day can reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulant medication. These blood anticoagulants work by inhibiting the effectiveness of Vitamin K2 in the body.
But since our body absolutely needs Vitamin K for healthy bones and clean arteries, we recommend not taking any blood anticoagulants that work on the basis of Vitamin K inhibition. Talk to your doctor to have him prescribe blood anticoagulants that work independent of Vitamin K. These are designated as Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOAC).

Trolls are much taller than Hudresh; adults may reach nine to twelve feet tall. They are most active at night, and have excellent night vision, hearing, and a keen sense of smell. Their eyes are large and pale and reflect light as a greenish glow in the dark. Their ears are large, pointed and mobile. Their noses are long and fleshy. They have powerful jaws. They eat great quantities of meat, and consume every part of their prey, including bones, which they crush with their strong teeth and jaws. As a result, Troll scat is usually white. Trolls have tough, leathery hide, and can withstand direct blows by swords and spears, resulting in legends that Trolls are made of stone.They live mainly in isolated families, usually of one male, one female, and their offspring. Trolls commonly follow herds of elephants or other large animals. Trolls tend to be extremely suspicious of Hudresh and jealously protect their herds from Hudresh hunters.
Trolls generally speak their own language (Tordreshrok), though Trolls living among the Hudresh may learn at least the basics of local languages. While some trolls of Omland speak at least basic Omlandish, many have them have spent at least a few years working in Ishmodia and have learned rudimentary Gyrish.
The Tordresh first appear in history during the War Against Men, when great armies of Tordresh and Gobdresh swept across the Northern Plains from the Western Mountains, laying waste to all Hudresh settlements in their path. Some survivors of this war settled in the East, where their descendents maintain relatively tolerant relations with Men.
In the East, young male trolls often spend some years working for pay among the Hudresh, in order to earn money to buy enough land to marry and raise a family. Such young trolls may find employment working as toll collectors, or as soldiers in the elephant cavalry of Ishmodia, or working with elephants on logging operations and loading and unloading ships at ports such as Gyr.Although trolls spend much of their time alone or in small family groups, when they come together for a Wild Ruckus, or if they live in settlements with other trolls, they enjoy games such as club and spear.

Surrogacy seminars, expos and conferences
The NY based Men Having Babies nonprofit organization is offering surrogacy conferences that are unparalleled in their focus, depth and scope. While the organization is aimed at helping gay men become parents through surrogacy, the conferences and expos are always open to all, and typically about a third of attendees are heterosexual couples and singles. The seminars offer a comprehensive overview of surrogacy by panels of experts and peers, and the exhibits feature the leading clinics and agencies from the USA and beyond. In recent years the organization has been offering programs also outside of NY, starting with a panel on Ethical Surrogacy Practices in Paris (September 2011), a seminar in Barcelona (April 2012), Tel Aviv (February 14-16, 2013), and LA (May 2013).

The groundbreaking event, designed to provide the most up-to-date information to gay prospective surrogacy parents, featured 20 American and international surrogacy agencies and clinics; personal stories of surrogates and dads who have gone through the surrogacy process themselves; and panel discussions featuring legal and medical experts, a special panel on parenting for HIV positive men, and information on both independent and agency-guided surrogacy. Twenty-four breakout sessions and an expo allowed prospective parents to become more familiar with exhibiting agencies and clinics, as well as supportive community organizations. As it is our custom, proceeds from sponsorship and exhibiting fees benefited our Gay Parenting Financial Assistance Fund.

That was Da Loife that was04/11/2011 20:20
Westlife: We won't reform after our farewell concerts next year
CAPTION: Da end … Westlife gather round for one last promo shot
By GORDON SMART, Showbiz Editor
THOSE wooden stools can now officially be turned into sawdust – DA LOIFE say they will never return as a band following their farewell tour.
The lads have ruled out doing a Take That-style comeback in years to come.
Even if they were offered all the potatoes in Ireland. That's it.
Kian Egan said: "We walked away from a multi-million-pound record deal that would have changed our lives for ever, secured our future beyond anything.
"It's not about the money. We'd have made far more on a new record than we ever would with a comeback tour."
The boyband say there are no hard feelings behind the split.
They're just exhausted from years of recording, touring and plugging their ballads.
Shane Filan said: "We've been doing this for 14 years.
"It had been bubbling for a long time — there was an intuition that all wasn't happy in the camp. Getting on stage is still amazing but that was the only part of the job we were enjoying."
Mark Feehily added: "The last few years have been very stressful.
"We'd talk through things to the point of tears, being brutally honest with each other.
"We never had physical fights — we never even had a talking fight about the break-up."
At least fans can take comfort from seeing their heroes on stage as solo stars in the future.
Shane said: "The first person to decide to do a solo record, the other three will all be there.
"Everyone's thought about going solo — I would love to continue singing for a living."
Kian is the only band member to have a job lined up — a judge on the Irish version of The Voice.
But in the meantime, they're concentrating all their efforts on the Farewell Tour.
And, to end all the speculation, the lads have made it clear former bandmate Brian McFadden won't be anywhere near it.
Kian said: "We still text him and stuff, but he's not coming back."
More food to go round, then.

The W – Washington DC – Saturday, August 31, 2012
We had the privilege of DJing Raquel & Greg's reception at The W Hotel in downtown Washington DC.
We've worked plenty of times in the The W's Altitude Ballroom and POV Lounge, but have never been in the Great Room before. Well, as expected it proved to be just as fabulous as the other locations within the hotel.
Guests were ushered into the cocktail hour by a live musician playing classics on a Spanish guitar. The Latin music genre was continued throughout the night as we played plenty of Celia Cruz, Elvis Crespo, Don Omar and Daddy Yankee for this fun crowd throughout dinner and dancing.
The bridal party was cheered into the Great Room to Danza Kuduro by Don Omar followed by the Bride and Groom who were welcomed to Rihanna's, We Found Love.
Raquel & Greg chose the classic, Let's Stay Together by Al Green, as their first dance.
Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat played in the background, as the Bride & Groom cut their wedding cake (by Fancy Cakes by Leslie).
While all the single ladies lined up to catch the bouqet, Madonna's Like a Virgin, was playing as Raquel tossed out her gorgeous bouquet by Da Vinci's Florist.
This crowd knew how to party and this dancefloor was packed all night! The combo of Top 40 with Latin music ensured everyone would have a good time!

Paul Finebaum believes karma has caught up to Dan Mullen following coach's offseason trash talk
The way Paul Finebaum sees it, Dan Mullen went from owning the college football offseason to getting owned by Kirby Smart in a very short span of time.
The momentum of Mullen's Florida program had reached its pinnacle recently but that momentum has not only seriously been halted, it's now trending in the wrong direction and taking a serious backseat to what's going on in Athens right now under Kirby Smart. With the Gators already behind the Bulldogs on the field, the popular SEC Network host recently suggested that Mullen has just been smacked with a serious case of karma following some bold offseason commentary.
The biggest story in the SEC last week was Chris Steele's decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Steele, a freshman defensive back from California, is the highest-rated prospect signed by Mullen during his tenure in Gainesville but it appears the high school All-American will never play a snap for the Gators. Adding to those woes, the program has suffered several decommitments in the immediate aftermath of Steele's decision to leave the program.
How big of a perception hit is this news, considering the Florida coaching staff reportedly had a chance to avoid this issue had it simply granted Steele's request to switch dorm rooms? Finebaum was asked that question during his weekly Monday morning appearance on Birmingham-based WJOX 94.5 FM radio program, "The Roundtable."
"Devastating. Primarily because of Dan Mullen's mouth. He's been running it for months, frankly, he's been running it since he was born," Finebaum joked on the air. "I was in his office three and a half weeks ago, I heard him running his mouth about Georgia and it caught up to him and now all those people who have been sitting around going, 'I wonder why he's doing that?' are turning on him.
"Is it a cataclysmic event? No. Losing recruits happens all the time, players get into trouble all the time but I think it's a little bit of karma flying back at him. I thought Kirby Smart won the day and maybe won the war by just shooing Dan Mullen away the other day like a fly on your sandwich at a Fourth of July picnic. We talk with our helmets is what he said and I thought that was the appropriate answer."
If you missed Kirby Smart's comments that Finebaum referenced, they came during the Georgia coach's appearance at the Regions Tradition golf tournament last week in Birmingham.
"I just don't think you need that," Kirby Smart during his segment on "The Paul Finebaum Show." "That is not going to make Georgia great. We are not going to move up in the rankings by what I say. We are going to do it by how we play. We want to talk with our helmets. That is what we always talk about, we want to play a physical brand of football and not do it with our mouthpiece."
Finebaum closed his thoughts on Mullen by noting that Florida's coach had been winning the offseason but the timing of all this bad publicity could not have been worse for the Gator coach. With not much going on in the college football world, much of the focus from the media is going to center on Gainesville until something else makes headlines.
"Dan Mullen was winning the offseason, I don't think anyone was even close to him and now he's given all of us, let's let the audience in on a secret, without a lot of oxygen in the college football platform right now, something to talk about," Finebaum concluded.
