When the name is important: review and test monitor Acer B276HUL
table of contents
Sometimes a single letter after the numerical designation in the name of a device can talk about that before you model with other characteristics. Typically, monitors no problem. It is easy to remember a couple of digits or letters in the name. But everything changes if your eye fell on the displays Acer, in which like unpronounceable or very difficult to explain to us the names.
Previously was considered the 27-inch model with the old *VA matrix Acer B276HL. not received a positive response. Later in the range of our partner — company regard was detected twice more expensive B276HUL with identical design, which are not initially attracted my attention. The difference in one letter, and the class of the device and the corresponding audience is different. But I will not make, and will immediately proceed to the review and testing.
due to the identity of appearance, ergonomics, menus, and other material partially used text from previous reviews of the Acer models B276HL and B296CL. Meanwhile, measurements, implying the identification of opportunities and quality ustanovlennoy matrix, were again in full.
test Method
This article is written according to the new methodology. dated January 27, 2012. It is based on the experience gained by me over the last couple of years with monitors (both as a writer/tests, and the person who is constantly faced with the configuration and calibration of different models, displays). Of equipment used instruments X-Rite (two different colorimeter and one reference spectrophotometer), and as a software — only freeware programs and utilities.
Obtained by the new method the results can easily be compared with all other materials published up to February 2012, with the exception of only a couple of moments.
this model appeared on the shelves of Moscow online shops in early August 2013. Presents she was a month earlier. The full name in the spirit Acer — B276HULymiidprz, hereinafter simply B276HUL. At the moment, its average price is 22100 rubles, which is the norm among devices of this kind, where, however, there are displays and cheaper.
Among direct competitors large number 27-inch monitors with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels and matrix type IPS and PLS companies such as ASUS, Dell, HP, Fujitsu, Samsung, Viewsonic, DOG and even EIZO. You can remember and a considerable list of Korean monitors, especially Crossover with a more down-to-earth price tag.
Now consider the main characteristics of the hero review:
Acer B276HUL is AH-IPS panel LM270WQ1 in the most likely modification SLB2 manufactured by LG Display. It's a familiar eight-bit panel (true, without FRС), which has led W LED-backlit 27-inch diagonal when the desktop resolution WQHD. The pixel size standard and is 0.233 mm Among producers panel is in high demand, more preference is given similar characteristics PLS matrix.
the Monitor has simple design, matte body and ample opportunities ergonomics. Did not disappoint and a set of interfaces, and the present speaker system. Other interesting data on your device, the company does not provide. The difference in comparison with direct competitors only in the smallest details, design and warranty policy on a particular market. It remains to understand how the monitor is assembled that is offered in the kit and how well the manufacturer has coped with a known matrix.
Package contents
Monitor Acer B276HUL comes unassembled in a regular cardboard box impressive size without additional plastic handles for carrying.
On each of two sides meet slightly different pictures of the device and the same set of logos, labels, and icons that tell about the main features of the model.
On one side there is a sticker applied at the factory.
you can find the following information: basic technical data number and version of the model, the date (July 2013) and place of manufacture (China), the serial number, batch number and other interesting facts. Data on the audit of the display is not presented.
Full package Acer B276HUL includes the following:
- Power cables of two different standards;
- DVI-D Cable;
- Cable DisplayPort;
- Audio;
- USB Cable 3.0 to connect to a PC;
- Quick start guide for installing and configuring (Quick Guide);
- Book for warranty issues and conditions;
- Mini-booklet with telephone numbers of offices in different countries.
the Kit did not disappoint. It is filled with all the necessities to get started, and the number of cables in General meets the most hassle-free interfaces on Board Acer B276HUL DVI — D and DisplayPort.
the Use of W-LED backlighting made it possible not only to reduce the thickness of the body, but also to save on electronic parts of the device. Throughout the test, regardless of the luminance of the monitor was published intermittent electrical hum from the upper part of the body depending on the image on the screen. He clearly heard, but after a couple of days, it can be used. Besides, it all depends on the susceptibility of such sounds. Similar behavior was observed for many other WQHD display with AH-IPS matrix LG, and therefore should not be surprised. Equivalents, PLS do not have this drawback or features. You need to take this into account.
Design and ergonomics
Monitor Acer B276HUL — third among those to my hands, displays the company with a strong design. This solution with straight lines, cut faces, dark and performance without the inherent glam glossy colleagues on the shop floor. On the other hand, all of its major competitors like strictly and certainly not worse.
the Use of led backlighting almost no effect on the mass — 7.67 kg Assembly. When dismantling stands and racks figure drops to 4.9 kg, which is still a lot.
the model incorporates several types of matte plastic two different shades of black and dark gray. The monitor looks is strictly business. No wonder it was considered to be a professional.
mounting stand (and indeed the Central hour) much like almost all solutions from Dell. If necessary, Acer B276HUL can be hung on the VESA-mount bracket standard 100 x 100 mm For this is in place attach the stand it is necessary to Unscrew the four screws that can be used in conjunction with the selected bracket.
the Monitor is shipped disassembled. The user must connect the stand with a Central stand and attach the finished design to the body. Both actions are performed without the use of additional tools.
Large rectangular stand inspires their weight. Half of its surface is made of ribbed. Practical this makes little sense, but it looks interesting.
System cables (cable management) made exclusively due to the presence of slits in the Central column. It is more than the latest solutions from Dell, and so problems with the conduct of thick cables with ferrite rings will not occur.
the Whole body is made of matte plastic. A large part of the back surface is also made to match the stand — by application of ribbed surfaces. Due to them, by the way, the marks of the fingers practically does not remain visible.
a cursory examination of the patient may be a view that made it perfect. But in reality, if you begin a more detailed analysis, it becomes clear — Acer B276HUL made on their price and corresponds to the status of the company on the market monitors. Simply put, the quality of the machining and Assembly leaves much to be desired. But the button-lock stand this time is fixed properly and no flies.
the body of the display can not be rigid, but with such thick differently should not be. Moreover, he does not even crunches and no squeaks when changing position or moving to another location. But the plastic burrs (not as strong as found in B276HL) and unimportant grinding edges create a very positive impression. Although it may be considered subjective quibbles.
In the end, the quality of the materials claims were not, but for their machining and Assembly can be safely put four points out of five, because the resulting instance was more fortunate than the recently tested B276HL. On the other hand, on such details simply should pay attention when buying, so that in future they would not corn eyes with his presence.

German firm could join race for British Energy
German energy giant E.ON today signaled it could join the race for up-for-sale nuclear power group British Energy.
E.ON formally retracted a reported statement in which the group ruled out out any plans to take over the power generator.
The words, which were reported in FT Deutschland and attributed to a spokesman for the firm, said: "We have looked at the company and its power plants. We will neither bid on our own or together with others."
But the company tonight issued a retraction, saying: "E.ON wishes to clarify that the reported statement is incorrect and was not approved by the board of E.ON. E.ON accordingly retracts the statement."
British Energy - which operates all eight of Britain's nuclear power stations - announced it was open to offers last month and has subsequently been linked to a range of suitors including French giant EDF and German energy firm RWE.
At the weekend, Swedish power giant Vattenfall was also reported to be considering making an offer. There has also been speculation that British Gas owner Centrica is looking to mount a bid, either on its own or with another company.
Prospective bids for British Energy have been reportedly priced at as much as £11 billion, significantly above the current £7.5 billion market valuation of the group.
It is expected to play a major role in the proposed development of the next generation of nuclear power supply.
The UK Government owns a 36 per cent stake in the firm and sold a 25 per cent stake in the company last year which raised £2.08 billion.
British Energy has around 6,000 staff and produces around one-sixth of the UK's electricity. Its eight nuclear power stations are Dungeness B in Kent, Hartlepool, Heysham 1 and 2 in Lancashire, Hinkley Point B in Somerset, Hunterston B in Ayrshire, Sizewell B in Suffolk and Torness in East Lothian. It also owns a coal-fired power station at Eggborough, East Yorkshire.

Nursing Continuing Education
Review the CE course below and take the assessment to earn your CE. Make sure you're logged in to save your progress.
Please note: This course does not meet the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing's requirements for Child Maltreatment reporting. This course is currently under review by the Pennsylvania board and will be updated upon accreditation.
The purpose of this module is to provide comprehensive information pertaining to child maltreatment and intimate partner violence.
At the completion of this module, you will be able to:
Child maltreatment includes all types of abuse and neglect of a child under the age of 18 by a parent, caregiver, or another person in a custodial role (e.g., clergy, coach, or teacher). There are four common types of maltreatment: Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse, and Neglect.
Data from U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's report, Child Maltreatment 2014, is provided below:
According to the Child Welfare Information Gateway (CWIG) fact sheet, federal legislation provides the basis for state laws on child maltreatment by providing a list of acts or behaviors that define child abuse or neglect. The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act defines child abuse and neglect as, at minimum:
"Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation; or any act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm."
All 50 states and the District of Colombia have mandatory reporting statutes stipulating individuals required to report suspected cases. However, the specific circumstances and the individuals who are mandatory reporters vary from state to state. Most state child protection laws include harm caused by parents or caregivers but not harm caused by other people. However, some state laws include intimate partner violence witnessed by the child as abuse of neglect.
The state child protective service agencies determine the response to the allegations of child maltreatment. In most states, the majority of the reports are investigated. If the results of the investigation show that the charges of child maltreatment are founded according to the statutes and policies of the state, then the disposition is substantiated. If the results of the investigation show that the charges of child maltreatment are unfounded according to the statutes and policies of the state, then the disposition is unsubstantiated.
Despite mandatory reporting statutes, child maltreatment is considerably unrecognized and unreported. In fact, there is evidence that shows only one in three children who experience maltreatment is identified and reported to child protective services.
It is especially important for nurses to serve as advocates for children who are maltreated. Nurses are frequently the first health care professional to come in contact with a child and his or her family and in that case, should be the one to identify a potential incidence of child maltreatment. Plus, nurses who work in inpatient settings have lengthy interactions with children and their families which provides them the opportunity to identify indications of abuse or neglect.
Although nurses who work with children should always be aware of indications of neglect or abuse, Kraus, a pediatric emergency room nurse shares her story and offers the following advice:
Even though nurse- opportunity to take action when there is a reason to suspect child maltreatment, a number of barriers contribute to under recognition and underreporting of suspected cases of child maltreatment.
It is critical that all health care providers who work with children have the requisite knowledge and skills to recognize and report to act when there are indications of child maltreatment.
Most states identify four major types of maltreatment: physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse and emotional abuse. Some states include abandonment and parenteral substance use disorder as a form of neglect. See the link below to review the child maltreatment statues in your state.
PHYSICAL Abuse is physical injury that did not occur due to an accident. Physical abuse can range from minor bruises to broken bones or even death. Such injuries are considered abuse even when the caregiver did not intent to harm the child. Obvious indications of physical abuse include bruises that are in various stages of healing and look like they are from a hand or belt, burns from cigarettes or scalding water, fractures, internal bleeding, strangulation marks on the neck, injuries to the face or head and perforated ear drum. Less obvious indications of violence include headaches, dizziness, falls, insomnia, and depression. Consider the possibility of abuse if you notice that the child shrinks when touched or seems frightened by the caretaker. The nurse should be alert when there are frequent visits to the health care setting and/or the caregiver labels the child as "accident prone."
SEXUAL Abuse as defined by Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is provided below:
Employment, use, persuasion, inducement, enticement, or coercion of any child to engage in any sexually explicit conduct or stimulation of such conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct; or rape, and in the case of caretaker or inter-familial relationships, statutory rape, molestation, prostitution, or other forms of sexual exploitation of children or incest with children.Child Welfare Information Gateway (CWIG) provides information about possible indications of sexual abuse displayed by the child:
CWIG provides information about possible indications of sexual abuse displayed by the caregiver:
Rape is forced sexual intercourse a nonconsensual activity that involves penetration of the vagina or anus or oral cavity by a body part or inanimate object. Both men and women can be victims of rape. However, statistics show that the highest risk is for females under the age of 34, in a low income bracket and live in a rural community.
A sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) is a register nurse who has special training to conduct sexual assault evidentiary examination for rape victims. The SANE is also qualified to serve as an expert witness in court. Be prepared to assist the SANE with the physical examination and support the client during the examination. Sexual assault evidence kits are used for collecting blood, oral swabs, hair samples, nail swabs, or scrapings and genital, anal, or penile swabs.
Emotional Abuse includes behavior that minimizes the child's feelings of self‑worth or humiliates, threatens, or intimidates. Blaming the child for situations over which he or she has no control, isolating the child from friends, and punitive, inconsistent discipline are examples of emotional abuse.
CWIG provides information about possible indications of emotional abuse displayed by the child:
CWIG provides information about possible indications of emotional abuse displayed by the child:
NEGLECT includes the failure on the part of the caregiver to provide physical, medical, educational, financial or emotional needs.
Physical Neglect is the failure to provide food, shelter, hygiene or appropriate supervision.
Medical Neglect is the failure to provide needed medical care including untreated medical or mental health conditions, dental care, or glasses.
Educational Neglect is the failure to provide education for the child, including special education when needed.
Emotional Neglect is the failure to provide a child the love and support needed to thrive and to develop into a healthy adult.
Economic Abuse is the failure to provide for the needs of the child when adequate funds are available.
Abandonment occurs when the parent leaves the child behind and his or her whereabouts are unknown. Some states identify abandonment as a form of neglect.
Substance Use Disorder is also included in the definition of child maltreatment in some states.
Intimate Partner Violence is another type of abuse that is included in the definition of child maltreatment in some states. Certainly, living in a chaotic environment where children frequently witness has a negative effect on the growth and development of a child. Information about this topic is provided later in the module.
When states include substance use disorder as a definition of abuse, according to CWIG the following parental actions constitute abuse:
Check the website below for more information about substance use disorder by a parent.
Does your state statute address the issue of parental substance use disorder as child abuse?
Individual Risk Factors For Child Maltreatment:
Individual Risk Factors:
Protective Factors for Child Maltreatment
Protective factors buffer children from being abused or neglected. These factors exist at various levels. Protective factors have not been studied as extensively or rigorously as risk factors. However, identifying and understanding protective factors are equally as important as researching risk factors.
There is scientific evidence to support the following protective factors:
Family Protective Factors
Community Protective Factors
Accidental injuries usually occur along the most bony areas (knees, shins, elbows), whereas suspicious bruising can be seen in places like the inner thighs, stomach, feet, hands, back, buttocks, neck and back of arms and legs.
It's always important for the nurse perform accurate and complete documentation. Accurate, complete documentation provides the nurse, the nurse's coworkers and the agency legal protection. Good documentation is the best defense against malpractice. Know your agencies policies regarding documentation and follow the policies diligently in all situations and especially in high-risk situations such as when there is suspicion of abuse. Include a description of the client's medical history, the family's psychosocial history, and observations you made regarding interaction among family members. Document direct quotes regarding when the injury occurred and who caused it. Document physical injuries in narrative form as well as in pictorial form such as a body map.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice intimate partner violence (IPV), also known as domestic violence is the use of behavior that is used by an intimate partner to gain control or to maintain power and control of the other intimate partner. IVP can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.
Children who live in a home where there is violence may witness the violence first hand, come home to find the after effects of violence or see the perpetrator removed from the home by the police. IPV is associated with a number of long-term adverse effects including depression, low self-esteem, antisocial behavior, academic difficulty, seductive behavior, and difficulty with the law. Older children may attempt to run away from home.
There are three phases to the cycle of violence, the tension-building phase, the serious battering phase, and the honeymoon phase.
Nurses who provide care for victims of abuse have the opportunity to support the victim and offer resources for assistance. The nurse should
Below are the questions from an extensively used
Abuse Assessment Screen that was developed by Soeken and colleagues.
As discussed above, the nurse should encourage the victim to talk about the incident, discuss the importance of personal safety, provide the victim with written information about referral information such as a mental health clinic and community advocacy groups. The nurse should offer support while remembering that it's the victim who makes the decision about what to do.
Looking from the outside in the question is, "why doesn't she leave him?" The victim may choose to stay in the relationship for one or more reasons:
The victim needs information about community safe houses and shelters. These facilities provide the victim with a place where she can feel safe and protected. Additionally, facility staff provides victims with emotional support, group counseling, legal representation and social services.
The nurse should provide the victim with information about a nearby shelter even if the victim's decision is to stay in the relationship at the present time. The nurse should also recommend that the victim pack a bag with needed items and place it somewhere that the abuser will not find it. A partial list is found below.
As a nurse who provides care for children who are victims of maltreatment, you must be aware of your own emotions. First examine your personal views about child maltreatment. It's important, even though it may be difficult, to set aside negative bias because you need to provide nonjudgmental care to the child and to the family. Some common emotions you might feel are as follows:
When nurses are unable to do what they feel is best for the client due to constrains such as family decisions, lack of resources, or agency polices, they can feel alone and frustrated. This phenomenon is known as moral distress. According to the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, the definition of moral distress is when a person knows the right thing to do, but is constrained from taking it.
Residual moral distress is when, after a period of time, there is still no acceptable resolution to the problem.
The American Association of Critical Care Nurses recommends the 4 A's to rise above moral distress.
Experts in the field of ethics also suggest that nurses:
Each state has an agency designated to receive reports, it is usually child protective services (CPS). To determine who to report to, you can call the national hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD
QIDs 65847, 65846, 65843, 65841, 65840, 65838

Dismissed soldier Aduba Victor Nonso, who was an accomplice to the billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (popularly known as Evans) has narrated how he spent over N3million given to him by Evans.
The 28-year-old Victor who is an ex-soldier came from Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to the ex-soldier, who said he joined the Nigeria Army on August 15, 2009 and was posted to Abati Barracks, women and hotels bills drained the money and reduced him to poverty.
In an interview with Vanguard, Aduba said:
"My income was low and it wasn't enough to fend for my family. One of my friends who is also from my home town known as Ikenna, led me into crime. He brought one of his friends, known as Skudo. They told me that Skudo was an importer. He told me that he imported clothes from China and we became friends. I used to escort him to his village whenever he was travelling and he paid me handsomely.
"Sometime in January 2015, he called me and asked that I should meet him at Ago-Palace Way where he claimed he lived with his family.
''He told me that there was a man owing him money and he needed me to come with my army uniform so that I could intimidate the man with my uniform. When I got there I saw Skudo, Ikenna, Evans and another person inside the car.
"The front seat was empty and I entered and sat on it. We drove towards Ajao Estate. Ikenna and Skudo brought out two rifles and when I saw them, I was shocked. I asked what they were doing but Evans gave me a hot slap. He told me that I was now part of their group. Then they brought out a cup filled with gin and a bullet in it and they asked me to swear never to disclose what I saw to anyone.

Ever wondered Are psychics genuine or whether the readings given to you by the psychic are correct or not? There are many individuals across the globe who have conviction or have confidence in such reading as they need some positive affirmation about their upcoming future. However, there are people who consider this to be bogus. However the truth is psychics do exist whether you believe in their presence or not, however it depends on the individuals as well whether they would have faith in the readings from the the psychic or not.
You might stumble upon a few psychic readers who profess that their predictions are tremendously accurate, however the problem here is how you can determine whether the predictions are actually accurate or are merely made up so as to make you believe in it. What sets apart human beings from animals is free will. Animals do not have free will. Having trust and to believe in things that you want to believe without caring about the views of others is what is called as free will. It also plays a significant role in shaping your way of life and behavior. The same may be applied to psychic reading because nothing is raved on the stone which means nothing is frozen in life and not even our luck but you can change it with free will.
If you have free will it is even feasible to manipulate your future. It would be incorrect to say that our fate is already written. That isn't true. If you have got the strong determination to achieve something in life, you certainly can do it. So what you feel about a psychic network reading is completely dependent on you; if you have belief in it, the readings may appear to be true but if you think about it in a doubtful way, it might sound totally wrong. To put it into simple words, the readings just tell you what is going to happen in the near future or at the end of the day and it is for you to decide whether you let it materialize or completely change it.
You may have sometimes questioned yourself on how could the psychics claim to be incredibly accurate. Most often, this is just an average figure with the objective to boost their credibility. High accuracy in psychic reading may actually have a different meaning. If an individual totally believes in what a psychic reader predicts, then in that circumstances the psychic reader would say that his reading is correct because the person will do nothing to change the predictions. The person has belief in the predictions and it could actually become true. So in actual reality the readings might not be accurate. The psychic readers allege the precision of their readings centred on the feedback which they receive from their customers. In terms of accuracy it is up to you whether you believe are psychics genuine to give you Positive affirmations and high precision in the readings.

Effects Of Acid Reflux
If you suffer from acid reflux, rest assured that you are not alone. In fact, nearly 1/3 of all Americans suffer from this condition. Symptoms such as heartburn, burning in the chest and throat and nausea can really hinder someones quality of life. Luckily, the article below has some great tips on how you can prevent this.
It is important that you don't eat too quickly if you suffer from acid reflux. The slower you eat, the better! Not only will it allow you to begin to break down the food in your stomach, it will ensure that you feel full when you really are full, something that doesn't happen if you eat too quickly.
The way you sit after eating can affect acid reflux and can keep it from traveling up your esophagus. After eating, try to remain sitting upright for around two to three hours before lying down. If you're having problems when you lay down later, prop your head up about six inches.
Have beverages in between your meals instead of in the midst of them. This can help you relieve the hungry feeling that you have. This also means your stomach will not experience the distention that comes with drinking during meals.
When you find you have acid reflux overnight, raise the head of your bed up at least six inches. This will keep your esophagus angled downwards, ensuring that acid stays in your stomach and doesn't try to creep back up towards your throat. If six inches doesn't help, try eight instead.
Don't drink any alcohol if you wish to get rid of acid reflux for good. Besides causing acid to begin to build up and eat away at your stomach lining, alcohol worsens acid reflux. Reduce your alcohol intake as much as possible and quit drinking if you experience acid reflux every time you drink.
Avoid eating fatty foods such as french fries, pizza and other fried foods. Fatty foods relax the stomach muscles allowing acids to rise into the esophagus resulting in increase acid reflux. Instead of fatty foods, opt for lean proteins such as baked chicken breasts along with fruits and vegetables.
Effects Of Acid Reflux
Acid reflux can be a normal reaction of eating too much or too quickly! If you've been experiencing the Effects Of Acid Reflux lately, change your eating habits. Improve the content of your meals by adding healthier choices and take the time to chew your food well. Your digestive track will appreciate it and you should not suffer with acid reflux so much
Weight loss can help to lessen or prevent acid reflux. One common reason for acid reflux is being overweight. Just losing a small amount of weight can help. Weight loss can be achieved through smaller portion sizes, not crash diets.
Try some natural ways to reduce the Effects Of Acid Reflux in your body. There are lots of medications that you can take to help with your acid reflux, but why take them if you can control it naturally? Try to eat foods that are alkaline. Foods such as milk, bananas, almonds, tofu and avocados are all alkaline foods.
Include plenty of high fiber foods into your diet. High fiber foods absorb the fats which will limit the Effects Of Acid Reflux. Good choices of high fiber foods should include natural grains such as wheat bread, brown rice and starchy vegetables like potatoes and beans. Incorporate some high fiber choices into each meal for best results.
If you are suffering from acid reflux several times a week and cannot find relief, you should visit your physician. You doctor may be able to prescribe medicines to limit the effects of acid reflux. Additionally, acid reflux can be a sign of a more serious problem such as esophageal cancer.
There are many herbal remedies that can aid in relieving the effects of acid reflux. Ginger is a spice that is beneficial for digestion. If you're suffering from acid reflux, have some gingersnap cookies after dinner. Chamomile tea can also help.
As was mentioned earlier in this article, living with acid reflux can really impact your life in a negative way. Nothing is worse than having an aversion to eating because of the possible effects it may have on you. Use the tips given above to help you fight back against your acid reflux.

Kits Lists: Creeking Kit

Upper Red Lake
At 107,832 acres, Upper Red Lake is the 7th largest lake in MN. 60% of the lake is under the jurisdiction of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. Upper Red Lake Fishing Regulations have been widely publicized in recent years. Thankfully, a cooperative recovery effort has stabilized the walleye population again, so the lake can be enjoyed by local residents and tourists alike. As of 2013, the Upper Red Lake bag limits can be found at the bottom of the article.
If you like panfish, the Upper Red Lake crappie cribs were added in 1999 to create habitat for the fish, as well as better fishing opportunities for us fishermen. The coordinates can be found here. There are also a couple of neat pictures of them being installed here.
Northern pike fishing on Upper Red Lake is also outstanding. Many fisherman compare it to waters they've fished in Canada. The lake truly holds something for everyone.
On the east side of the lake on Hwy 72 you'll find Hillman's Store and Bait Station (218-647-8504). If you want to grab a cold beer and a bite to eat check out the West Wind. It's one of the local hangouts that is about as authentic as it gets. Good food and even a tackle shop to boot!
Places To Stay
Here a few of the top resorts in the area that you might want to check out:
Fishing Regulations on Upper Red Lake
- Daily bag/possession limit – 4 fish
- A statewide possession limit may only include four Red Lake walleye (only one larger than 26 inches).
Size Limits
Effective May 11 – June 14, 2013
- All fish 17 to 26 inches must be immediately released.
Effective June 15, 2013 – February 23, 2014
- All fish 20 to 26 inches must be immediately released.
Northern pike
- All northern pike 26 to 44 inches must be immediately released.
- Anglers may possess three pike, only one larger than 44 inches.
Boundary Information
- Those portions of Red Lake located within the Red Lake Indian Reservation are closed to non-band members except by special authorization of the tribal council. When fishing near the reservation boundary, using a GPS unit will ensure compliance.
- State anglers: The actual boundary is not a true north-south line. To simplify, it is recommended that State anglers stay east of the longitudinal coordinate of 94° 43' 12.0" W to ensure they are on State waters. Everyone fishing near the boundary is responsible for knowing his/her location.

Lung torsion
Lung torsion is a very rare situation typically described as an adverse event after a pneumonectomy. In extremely rare situations it can also occur after less invasive procedures such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) 11 or even spontaneously in the native lung.
On this page:
It has a reported incidence pf 0,09-0,4% 12.
It occurs when a lobe (or the complete lung) rotates around hilar structures. The degree of rotation is usually 180°, although on in some instances 90°or 360° torsion can occur.
The torsive lung creates a trifold compromise in airways, arterial blood supply and the venous-lymphatic drainage 13 due to lumen kinking. The affected lobe often shows haemorrhagic infarction or necrosis.
Predisposing factors
Described predisposing factors include 7 :
- presence of a pneumothorax and or pleural effusion
- existence of a free and long vascular pedicle to the lung
- existence of a non-ventilated lobe
Radiographic features
Plain radiograph
On plain film, it can be suspected when a collapsed or consolidated lobe is seen in a an unusual position especially in the context of a recent pneumonectomy 4. The affected lobe is often opacified 5. Rapid opacification of the lung following trauma/surgery or marked change in position of opacified lobe on short interval serial radiographs or an unusual position of a collapsed lobe can aid to the diagnosis. Other radiographic findings include inappropriate hilar displacement and a reticular pattern from venous congestion.
CT findings in postoperative lobar torsion include
- tapered obliteration of the proximal pulmonary artery and accompanying bronchus of the involved lobe
- amorphous soft-tissue attenuation at the hilum.
- the torsive lobe can show
- poorly enhancing consolidation with increased volume
- ground-glass attenuation
- interlobular septal thickening
- intralobular linear attenuation
- loss of parenchymal enhancement after contrast media administration
- the neofissure following lobectomy can show bulging and appear in an unusual orientation.
Treatment and prognosis
A lung torsion is considered a medical emergency. The optimal therapeutic approach remains controversial 14.The decision for detorsion or lobectomy usually depends on the viability of the torsive lung which is better appreciated after open thoracotomy. Detorsion offers lung salvage but if inappropriate, it may lead to thoracotomy and lobectomy.
Differential diagnosis
Other early or late post lobectomy complications (pneumonia, vascular occlusion) with similar clinical presentation.

Benjamin Haas reports for The Guardian:
As Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping dined on Dover sole and New York strip steak earlier this month, thousands of miles away in China a government office quietly approved trademarks that could benefit the US president's family.
On the day the president's daughter Ivanka Trump met the Chinese leader, China granted preliminary approval for three new trademarks for her namesake brand, covering jewellery, bags and spa service, according to official documents.
Her company, Ivanka Trump Marks LLC, has been granted four additional trademarks since her father's inauguration and has 32 pending, according to the Associated Press, which first reported the new approvals.
Donald Trump's White House has created a minefield of ethics concerns, according to critics, and the president and his top officials represent one of the wealthiest cabinets in history, with business empires spanning the globe. Ivanka Trump was appointed assistant to the president last month, after previously saying she would not join her father's administration.
Ivanka Trump no longer manages her clothing, jewellery and accessories brand, but still owns the business and is frequently seen wearing clothes from her own collection. She has put her business in a trust, run by family members.

back to kron for a sec
you know he has been rolling with rickson since before he can walk.
trains with rickson still and jake shields, nick and nate diaz and rolls with eddie bravo from time to time.
"I've been working so hard to prove that my dad's jiu-jitsu is the best and my image is the same. But what people don't know is that I've only put my gi on with my dad under 100 times. I've been on my own since I was 17. My dad only taught me when I was very young."
Kron's older brother Rockson was tough, outgoing, and outrageous. As a teenager he tattooed his last name across the back of his head and "21st Century Warrior" on his shoulders. Kron was more of a surf-kid and more passively set himself to training and competing in jiu-jitsu tournaments alongside his brother. When Rockson passed away in 2000 Rickson went into seclusion and Kron put down his skateboard to focus on stepping into the role of the next great hard-nosed Gracie.
"By the age of 12 I had broken each of my ankles twice [skating]," Kron says. "That's when my brother told me that whatever I do, I should do it 100 percent, whether it's being a skater or a doctor--don't take it lightly. He said I am lucky enough to have access to the best jiu-jitsu family, the best jiu-jitsu father, and the best academy. It would be stupid for me not to take advantage of it. But he ended the conversation by telling me I could do whatever I wanted. I listened, but then when he passed away I felt like it was my mission to do what he wanted."
Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Helio Gracie > Rickson Gracie > Kron Gracie
Being the youngest son of Rickson Gracie and grandson of Gracie jiu jitsu Grandmaster Helio Gracie, Kron Gracie became naturally involved with BJJ from his toddler years. A very young Kron Gracie can be seen playing jiu jitsu with his father in the famous Rickson Gracie documentary entitled "Choke" from 1995. His first record of a competitive medal in BJJ dates back to 1998 when Kron was 10 years old at the American International Championship where Kron achieved first place in the yellow belt division.

Fights in reality do tend to go to the ground and while pulling guard and deliberately taking it there against multiple opponents is indeed suicidal; an understanding of BJJ, judo or wrestling will help you get up as well as avoid being taken down. It's also surprising how disheartening it can be for a would be attacker to see his friend rapidly choked into unconsciousness in front of his eyes or dropped onto his skull. They definitely have real world applications but like everything; specific scenarios need to be drilled to make them effective.

I started thinking that catch wrestling and Sambo were the best chances to defeat it.
That's pretty much where it all stems from. At that time, everyone was also fawning over the Gracies as the greatest fighters of all times. It reminded me of the myths about Bruce Lee so I wanted to see them humbled, with my dream match being Marco Ruas against Rickson on tape. The Sakuraba fights definitely shattered the invincible aura and now most good mma fighters know enough to fend off pure BJJ.
Oh yeah, I also didn't like the GOAT talk about Rickson. So few of his fights are on tape that it's hard for me to take his alleged accolades seriously. It's kind of like the Wilt Chamberlain legends. I also didn't like how he'd always come out and make some outrageous claim about how he could easily tap this or that new famous fighter. I say it's "outrageous" because he'd never take the fight to actually back up those boasts.
but Rickson hasn't proven anything to me as a MMA fighter.

Mayweather is a boxer. We can probably assume that his fighting skills outside of that narrow discipline arent very good. He would win a boxing match. He loses any kind of full fight against McGregor.
Theres probably 10-15 angles with 6-7 other striking points that boxers dont train against. (Not including ground game fighting) Which is not to say boxers cant be very difficult to fight against. Just that on that level having an incomplete approach to martial arts usually means you lose.

What does menopause mean for my bones?
Menopause, or the cessation of menstruation, can increase a woman's risk of developing osteoporosis, a condition where bones become fragile and easier to fracture. The female hormone oestrogen plays an important role in maintaining bone strength throughout a woman's life. During menopause, oestrogen levels decrease rapidly resulting in increased bone loss. It's estimated that the average woman loses up to 10% of her bone mass in the first five years after menopause.1 If a woman's peak bone mass before menopause is less than ideal, any bone loss that occurs during menopause may result in osteoporosis.1
Menopause – a time to take action
Osteoporosis is not inevitable; women can help maintain their bone strength and decrease the risk of developing the condition by following a few dietary and lifestyle recommendations including:
- Calcium – Following menopause, a woman's calcium requirements increase to 1300mg a day. If you're unable to achieve this amount through diet alone, a calcium supplement may be recommended.
- Vitamin D – It's important to maintain adequate vitamin D levels because it helps calcium's absorption utilisation in the body. This can be achieved through sensible sun exposure and/or vitamin D supplementation.
- Exercise – Regular physical activity plays an important role in maintaining bone strength and helping to slow the rate of bone loss following menopause.2 Women should incorporate weight bearing exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, tennis, basketball and netball, and participate in progressive resistance training such as lifting weights to support their bone health.
- Alcohol – Excessive alcohol intake can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. It's recommended that women have a maximum of two standard drinks per day with at least two alcohol free days each week.1
- Caffeine – It's important for women to moderate their caffeine consumption; no more than two to three cups in total of cola, coffee and tea should be consumed daily.
- Smoking – Women should avoid smoking as it's associated with a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.1

This page shows whether different Bitcoin sites serve the original Bitcoin whitepaper or an edited version of it. Once an hour we calculate SHA-256 hashes of the files and compare them with the hash of the original whitepaper (that would be b1674191a88ec5cdd733e4240a81803105dc412d6c6708d53ab94fc248f4f553).
There have been some suggestions to alter the whitepaper hosted on bitcoin.org (e.g. GitHub Issue #1325 is still open). We believe that editing an academic paper and rewriting the Bitcoin history in order to accommodate someone's business interests is downright unacceptable.
First of all, there are some null-data outputs containing the hash as plaintext. You can find them using a filter on the outputs table. Examples: 99725194:1, 100122486:1, 111318670:2
Also there are null-data outputs which contain the hash as hex. The current version of our search engine doesn't yet have support for filtering scripts by hex values, but since the hex value can be represented as binary text, we can search by alphanumerical parts of this text. Examples: 90947865:0, 127382188:1, 146223515:0
More importantly, there's transaction 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713 which contains the pdf file itself. Here's an instruction on how to parse it. It may be possible to edit the whitepaper on some websites, but it's not possible to alter the blockchain.

We got to see the twinkies yesterday and they are super duper adorable. I will post some pics below. Our doctor said it's rare that we can get decent shots of both face at the same appointment, so he was all over it.
He was able to get a good view of baby girl's heart and felt good about the way it looked! That made us feel wonderful
in fact I had the urge to burst out tears. Baby boy was squirming lots at that point so he couldn't get to his. Our cardiologist appointment is next Thursday and we are praying both hearts look healthy. I'm SO ready. We then go back to regular doctor on Friday (normally it would be following week, but he will be out of town.)
Yesterday was a wonderful day. On top of seeing them, I felt LOTS of movement; more than I have yet! I even felt it from the outside. I could put my hand on my belly and feel the kicks. I love it anyway I feel it, clearly 🙂 I also like Brent will be able to feel that soon.
One of my best friends had her baby boy yesterday and it was such a special experience! I there with her from about 2:30pm to 1:30am AND she wanted me to stay IN the delivery room AND take pictures! So now, I've seen every part of a childbirth and it's pretty amazing! Having had a c-section, I hadn't seen much of anything.
Meet Saxon 🙂 Yep, he's the one that loves elephants! Isn't he beautiful?
I think I've had some insomnia and energy kick in. It's kind of like I just don't need much sleep. It seems so strange to me. I get the yawns big time in the afternoon, but they don't seem to last long. I definitely get physically exhausted, but sleep is like something totally different. Sleeping isn't too uncomfortable right now, but I am waking up on my back more than I would like to.
It was apparent at my appointment yesterday, I've grown. My weight went up FIVE POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS! haha. I was like, "umm, did I gain too much in two weeks?" He said nope; he said from here on out, it probably wouldn't be like that, though. I knew that I had definitely been more hungry and had a better appetite. The kiddos must have been having a growth spurt.
Also, I physically felt the skin on my stomach stretch a few times this week. It was pretty bizarre, but it happened. I've not seen any stretch marks, yet. I'm sure they are just around the corner. I got three underneath with Cohen (that I saw after delivery) but they were minor and didn't really last.
I'm still consuming LOTS of fruit. When I'm at home and I get hungry, it's really the only thing I feel like getting. I did make toffee and cupcakes yesterday, which probably were not a better better alternative.
I'm having a harder time wanting to post bare belly this time. I don't know why. I guess I really don't know if anyone wants to see or if it freaks people out, haha. This is actually the first day I've thought to take any. I figured I might as well and go ahead and do a few since I did with Cohen. I can't say I will post any the further along I get. I do think it's a pretty amazing process of the miracle of life 🙂
Here I am this morning…
Now the comparison with Cohen..

Hello, all!
I'm not quite ready to take my MSF course yet and have been lurking on the forum for a few weeks. Looking to take the course in early spring. I am reading everything I can and talking to my one friend with a motorcycle (male) who is also somewhat of a beginner. I have a 2-year-old and a nearly 5-year-old, and I work a busy full-time job, and money is tight, so part of me thinks it's crazy that I want to start riding now, but something is pulling me toward this spring. My husband is somewhat on-board, provided I buy as cheap of a bike as I can. I'm 40, so not getting any younger. I have zero riding experience, other than one ride on the back of my friend's bike, but I have wanted to do it since I was a kid.
I'm looking for lots of advice, as I'm one of those "read everything before doing" extensive planning sorts of people. Also, if there are any women riders in the NoVA area I could use a riding mentor (specifically in the Prince William/Fauquier County/Culpeper area, but beyond, as well)! I'd also love to hear from any other moms with 2 small kids who are riding. Ha-ha -- I only recently stopped writing to my breastfeeding forum, and am now onto the motorcycle forum!

Product Description
These Competition Elkskin Ropers take the Standard Elkskin Ropers to the next level with an added hook and loop wrist closure, reversed for ergonomic advantage, and also add a generous Elkskin covered TF3 impact-foam knuckle pad.
This is a premium rider's glove, made by a ranch and work glove company in Washington State. They're strong and durable enough to take on everyday rough cowboy and ag work -- from handling barb wire fences to accurately directing a lariat, and ultra-comfortable all-day because of their superb medium weight luxuriously tanned natural tan Elkskin. This comfortable abrasion resistant leather absorbs and dissipates sweat, wears cool, and quickly conforms itself to the shape of your hand.
The visco-elastic TF3 impact material padded knuckles make a protective difference in some crash scenarios, and of course, the left thumb is equipped with a resilient visor squeegee to help keep a clear view of the road in damp and rainy conditions.
These are the ultimate gloves for serious combat touring adventures and all A to B rides. Full and half sizes 8-12 (not available in size 11.5). Natural.

Mr. Subjective on Breaking in New Aerostich Gear
One of the unusual aspects of most Aerostich gear (in today's world of conveniently pre-digested, artificially-aged items) is there's usually a lengthy old fashioned 'break in' period. The time and distance needed varies from a few hundred miles to a few years, depending on how much one rides, and how sensitive the wearer is. It's also a bit different for different items…boots, gloves, helmets, shirts or riding suits. For me, a new Aerostich suit or jacket feels acceptably comfortable after a few hundred miles and then reaches it's best after a couple of years of use and wear. By the third and forth season it's about perfect (ironically this happens just as similar gear may start feeling worn-out).
That may seem an unusually long time by today's standards, but with much of my most-favorite stuff, from boots to jeans to you-name-it, it's always been this way. We email a newsletter to riders interested in Aerostich products and sales, and a recent one titled "For the Long Ride" has several nice stories about this. You'll find it here http://www.aerostich.com/long-service-model
Beyond general long-break-in periods and long-service stories, actually breaking in stiff new gear remains very much a pain in the ass: It is uncomfortable, and I always feel a bit more awkward wearing brand-new sparkly gear than well-worn examples. A bit of wear and patina can be almost as important as a product's design, materials and functionality, partly because it silently tells a useful story which testifies to one's long experience (without being overly proud of it, though).
It's always the same. When I was a kid I usually hated the brand-new back-to-school school clothing my mother provided each fall, and being forced to give up old familiar things which were only a bit too small but clearly worn-out. Today I sometimes still feel this way, so even breaking in a brand-new (and much nicer) helmet can be awkward and uncomfortable. It's odd to complain about this from an economic standpoint but in some ways good 'new' and unfamiliar stuff must always be endured for at least a little while before it becomes 'old', comfortable and familiar. This is always worth it though, because new things are improved in real ways which matter over the long run. New is good…and new-and-broken-in is even better.
It's impossible to not prefer (for example) a comparatively newer and lower mileage rental car and many other newer and less-worn things, but for many other things this isn't such a simple a decision. And even with today's popular pre-aged and faked-old items (like pre-washed jeans, pre-distressed whatevers) simultaneously offering both the worst-of-both-worlds (inauthentic and already partly worn out), and the best of both worlds (experienced-looking and requiring less uncomfortable breaking-in), the choice actually comes down mostly to your perspectives and not the functional qualities of the item. In the end what matters most is finding stuff which best meets your needs. Whatever they are.
Here is an authentic (albeit nonsensical) way to fairly quickly break in your stiff brand-new Aerostich Darien Jacket, pant or riding suit:

Customer Reviews (62)
- Houston, we have the solution!Review by Kevin
- I've tried a lot of gloves over the years, by manufacturers both major and cottage. These are the best! Agreed, if I was road racing, I'd want something with ballistic armor everywhere; and in the winter I will switch to a winter glove, but for most of the year these are my first choice. And when (if) I ever wear these out, I will buy another pair without even looking at anything else. (Posted on 9/8/13)
- Fits like a....gloveReview by Peter
- I would recommend these gloves to anyone. I just completed a Labor Day weekend ride logging around 1,400 miles right through the Midwest hot flash ending at 106 degrees in Kansas. I have to say, those gloves were great and felt cooler than my older gloves which contain some air vent holes for circulation. The most amazing thing is they felt soft and broken in the moment I put them on. (Posted on 9/5/13)
- Comfort and durabilityReview by Ricky
- This is the third pair of Elk skin ropers I've used. The first 2 pairs were very comfortable with little breakin required. Warm weather comfort was outstanding. These gloves held up to many miles of hard riding before having to be replaced. The third pair were purchased for my every other year trip To Rhode Island from Louisiana trip and they preformed as expected. These are my go to gloves for all but the coldest weather (Posted on 7/8/13)
- New favorite glovesReview by Tom
- Love them, broke in quickly and very comfortable. (Posted on 6/12/13)
- Excellent fit and constructionReview by Sally_Forth
- The Elkskin leather is thick and yet very soft. I was right between two sizes and chose the smaller. The fit is perfect. The glove fingers are the right length when curled around a grip. (Posted on 10/17/12)
- Competition Roper vs Deerskin/elkskin gauntletReview by Pete
- I've had 2 pair of Aero gauntlets (deerskin/elkskin palms) have loved them best glove ever in (+40 years of motorcycling), love the soft deerskin tops & the longer gauntlet 'til last season's purchase of Aero Competition Roper. Now I'm not so sure. The shorter Comp. Roper impresses me with it'seasy on & off, excellent durability of elkskin leather. Even wet they're warm ?~ must be the elk thing. Jury's still considering the final verdict - must ride more to deliberate on this ruling. Carry on providing us with such a fine product at a bargain price. Goggles (Posted on 6/27/12)
- Why didn't I buy these soonerReview by DLS
- Really, why didn't I buy these sooner? These are the best gloves I've ever had, first ride they felt as comfortable as an old pair of jeans. Buy them,you will not regret it, same as any Aerostich product I've had so far. FYI, they look better with a little road grunge anyway, Nothing looks as good new as it does in the 'well used' state, these will look that way quick because you won't want to take them off. (Posted on 5/31/12)
- Snug Review by Pat RI
- I have several pairs of riding gloves, including some bison gloves, and a ratty old pair of elkskin work gloves. The old gloves are comfortable, so I decided to try these competition elkskin ropers. I have never ordered a pair of gloves to an exact size, so I measured 4 times and ordered once. They are as advertised, however, I am right handed and measured my left hand. Result; the left glove is a perfect fit, and the right is a bit snug. I'm sure it will stretch more as they are worn, but with some forethought I would have measured my right hand. As for the comfort, they are great to ride with, and even have enough length and width at the top to gauntlet over my jacket sleeves, while being trim enough to fit underneath them without a lot of extra bulk. A great product and I'm sure to enjoy them for a long time, as they are extremely well made, and comfortable, right hand snugness aside. (Posted on 5/23/12)
- Great GlovesReview by Matt In OZ
Great gloves - as advertised, super soft, tight initially but are stretching in and shaping to my hands, feel great and surprisingly warm in the Australian winter
Looking forward to more miles ( sorry-Kilometers over here) in these gloves
great feel
Also super impressed with the speed of delivery - sent on Tuesday (USA) and here at my door on Friday (Australia) - wow
(Posted on 5/23/12)
- super glovesReview by Jim in New Mexico
- Elkskin Ropers are great gloves--these are better. The added protection at the knuckles and the security strap are a significant improvement--I know from experience. My original Ropers won't wear out after 100,000 miles or more. These are now my first choice for all seasons. Comfortable, well-fitting, warm when its above 50F, not too hot when the weather is, and the price can't be beat. (Posted on 5/21/12)

Washable Leather?
"All of the elkskin glove models are cut and sewn on the exact same patterns so they fit similarly from model to model, but there are slight variations from glove to glove because each glove is hand made and each section of elkhide is a little different. A great way to quickly custom-fit a new pair is to fully wet-saturate on a warm day when you know you'll be riding continuously for several hours, then let them dry and conform to the shape of your hands during that ride.
Elkskin and deerskin can be safely washed using warm water and mild soap. This removes accumulated dirt, oils and stains and will help gloves last longer and feel nicer. After rinsing to remove residual soap, gloves should be gently wrung damp and allowed to dry gradually at room temperature. Do not apply direct heat when drying. They shrink slightly but will stretch to fit during wear."
Which Elk Glove?
"...As I mentioned earlier, I do a lot of sport riding and sport touring on a Honda VFR and will do occasional adventure touring on the GS, so I was leaning toward the gauntlet. Would there be any issues with that fitting over the sleeve of a Roadcrafter and allowing smooth rotation of the wrist?
Insulation is not really an issue, given that I live in San Francisco and the climate here is fairly consistent - rarely below high 40s or above the mid 80s." —Chuck S. (email)
Thanks for your question. I wear both versions of the Elk glove. About 90% of the time I grab either the regular or competition Elkskin Ropers. The gauntleted version is also available, but I seldom take it. Probably only because I don't have a sport bike option like your VFR.
The gauntlet on the unininsulated version of the gauntleted ropers is not lined, so the suede-ish backside of the leather does drag slightly against the sleeve of a textile jacket, but it's not enough (to me) to be an issue. Also, as the gloves break in the suede-ishness wears a way slightly so the drag seems even less after a few hundred miles.
The gauntleted models are slightly more to deal with in subtle, nuanced ways. There are just 'more glove'. The fastest and most unconscious pull-on-and-go is the regular roper. You just snap the wrist snap without thinking and go. Perfect for everyday short-hop, on-and-off-the-bike riding. Next fastest/easiest is the competition model. The wrist strap is much more secure than the snap, but it takes a nano-more of consciousness to manipulate it. For all-day riding, though, I usually pick this one. The gauntlet models add another nano-bit of rigamarole, but for a sport bike rider are probably a better option. These shades of ease-of-use distinction are very slight.
When I travel I normally take two pair of gloves -- usually a pair of competition ropers for wear most of the time, and the insulated gauntleted ropers or Luxury Cowhide. And the triple digit raincovers.
Last November I rode around Lake Superior with some friends on Gold Wings. I was riding my unfaired bike which has heated grips, but is without hand guards (wind protectors). Temps every morning were about 30ºf and the high each day was about 45ºf. I had both of the above and switched multiple times for comparison and evaluation. In the end I liked the insulated elk ones slightly better, but it was very close.
Since that trip (and as a result my experiences on it…) we have slightly increased the insulation thickness of the wind barrier hidden within the backside of the hands and fingers on the insulated elk ropers. Before it was a layer of windproof fabric placed between the wool liner and the elkskin outer. Now it's a layer of thin windproof fleece (fleece laminated to a layer of wind blocking coated fabric).
The elk gloves are sized by glove sizes, not s,m,l, xl, etc. Basically there are twice as many sizes. For example, both a size 9 and a 9.5 are 'm' graded. So you end up with a more precise fit. A good-fitting glove is as important as a good-fitting shoe. It's the only real difference between an ok glove and a great glove.
-- Mr. Subjective
A Second Skin
Elk and Deer leather mold to one's hand really well. Two tricks to a fast break-in so they will feel great fast:
- 1.) Start with the exact right size. Our gloves are traditionally graded, not S, M, L, XL, so there are twice as many sizes and the incremental size-to-size fit difference is closer…nearer to custom-made, feel-wise.
- 2.) On a warm day when you can ride for several hours continuously, wet the gloves completely, wring them out, put them on and go for that ride. At the end they will have dried around your hand, stretching and shrinking slightly in places. From then on they'll feel like a second skin.

Did you hear the exciting news about the super quick browser Opera Mini? There is a new version that was just released for iOS. In the new Opera Mini iOS update, there is a news feed that is now powered by artificial intelligence. We have all of the latest news about the Opera Mini iOS update so read on to learn more about the exciting new features coming with this mobile browser.
Opera Mini for iOS Brings Artificial Intelligence
We have some good news for you if you have the Opera Mini iOS browser because it was just updated. The new update brings a news feed that is powered by artificial intelligence. This news feed powered by the artificial intelligence is part of the redesigned user interface.
The company, Opera Software, said that this news feed is four times quicker than the previous one. The Opera Mini artificial intelligence powered news feed uses what is known as GBDT. GBDT is gradient boosting decision trees, which is a type of algorithm that uses machine learning and deep neural network learning.
Opera Mini Update Details
The Opera Mini artificial intelligence powered news feed is available in English as well as Indian, Hindi, Tamil, and Gujarati. Opera released a statement after the Opera Mini iOS update, which said that there will be a user profile that is made for each person. You will have to engage with the news content in order for this unique profile to be made.
The news engine will then look at your interests, which is in part done by the deep neural network learning. This means that the more you utilize and engage with the news feed, the more appropriate and related stories you will see.
This is going to be a great choice for those who are interested in more personalized news content. You will notice the personalized content in the "For You" section of the news feed. The "For You" section has been updated to reflect the new artificial intelligence component, and it looks a lot more visually appealing than before.
Opera Mini iOS Update Adds Personalized Content
The best part about the Opera Mini iOS update is that it adds personalized content to your news feed. You will be able to see news stories that fit your needs and your unique interests. This is something that evolves as you begin to find new interests and hobbies.
You will be able to set your location so that you can also choose local stories or international stories. There is also an option to set categories as well and also it will show you a lot of different news sources. This new Opera Mini iOS update with the artificial intelligence news feed is also now available in many other countries.
The new feature is now available in South Africa, United States, Kenya, Indonesia, Nigeria, Ghana, and Tanzania. The new feature will be soon rolling out to other countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Russia. This is great news because the artificial intelligence powered news adds a new layer of education and information.
Why the Opera Mini iOS Update with AI Matters To You
The new news feed will give you a lot of unique perspectives and options. You will be able to choose which types of news sources and stories you would like to see more of. More good news is that if you like sports for example, you can select to have all of the sports news content delivered to you.
With the Opera Mini iOS update, you will also have the ability to set locations, which is great if you have family all over the world. You will be able to stay connected to them through the news. This allows you to maintain both professional and personal relationships since you have the ability to see what is going on regardless of location.
If you have Opera Mini on your iOS device, you should be seeing the update rolling out right now. You can head to Apple's App Store to download the updated version if you do not have this app already. Do not worry if you do not see the update on your iOS device yet since it could take a day or two before the update appears.
