100 Greatest Things In Health Part 1 of 3 Food & Drink
This month we're bringing you the newest, most inspiring ways to a better body. Get ready for 100 essential ideas to upgrade your wellbeing, split over three sections. Part 1 is all about nutrition. We have lift-off...
1 ROCKET FUEL
The best...way to start your day
NASA-tested and now part of the diet plan for its astronauts, AS10 crams hefty amounts of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals into a single 75ml shot. The University of Pittsburgh found a daily shot of the 'super fruit' drink reduces heart disease risk, prevents certain cancers and sharpens your brain. One small sip for man, one giant leap for your body and mind.
£38.40 for 12 x 75ml bottles
The best...new superfoods
New ingredients with proclaimed health benefits are constantly hitting the headlines. Here's the nutritional make-up of the next eight chart-toppers (per 15g serving), so you can balance your diet with total preision.

10 EDIBLE ASPIRIN
The best...natural painkiller
A spice-laden vindaloo can do more for you than a trip to to the chemist. Studies at the Rowett Research Institute found that the high concentration of salicylate, a natural pain killer, in the hot curry dish makes it more effective than aspirin. Prepare it at home without the headache with this virtually fat-free recipe from Abdul Yaseen, head chef at the Cinnamon Kitchen (Cinnamon-kitchen.com).
Ox Cheek Vindaloo Serves 4
. 1kg ox cheek
. 6 cardamom pods
. 1tsp black peppercorn
. 4 dried chillies
. 6 cloves
. 10cm cinnamon stick
. 1tsp cumin
. 1/2 tsp each of coriander seeds, turmeric and fenugreek
. 4tbsp oil
. 1tbsp dark vinegar
. 4tbsp clear vinegar
. 2 onions, finely sliced
. 10 garlic cloves, finely sliced
. 5cm ginger, sliced
. 3 tomatoes, chopped
. 4 green chillies
. 1tsp brown sugar
1) Trim the fat from the ox cheek and cut into 2.5cm cubes. Grind the cardamom seeds with peppercorns, dried chillies, cloves, cinnamon stick, cumin, turmeric, coriander and fenugreek. Mix the ground spices with vinegars, add the cheeks and marinade for 3 hr.
2) Heat the oil and fry the onions over a low heat until golden. Add garlic, ginger, tomato and chilli and stir well. Increase the heat, add the cheeks and stir-fry until browned. Add 250ml of water and any remaining marinade. Reduce the heat and slowly bring it back to boil.
3) Add the sugar to the ox cheek, cover and simmer for 1 hr until the meat is tender. Season with salt, then serve.
11-13 SAUCES OF POWER
The best...condiments for your cupboards
Ramans' courgette relish is loaded with fenugreek, which reduces fat absorption: turmeric, the metabolism booster; and cumin, which tackles abdominal fat. Plus it's delicious with meats and salad.
The tomato Stall's 'tommy k' is 94% tomato, supplying more of the antioxidant lycopene to protect you against colon cancer. That's more tomato than the 'market leader'-say, 57 times more.
Good old English mustard has 20% fewer calories than its foreign counterparts. And research carried out by Oxford Brookes University found that it raises the metabolism, so it burns more than your tongue.
14 GYM & TONIC
The best...alcoholic drink after a workout
You don't want to undo the hard work of a good training session, but you want to unwind after work with a drink. So raise a glass to your new usual:gin and slimline tonic with Angostura bitters. "Gin has the least sugar of the spirits and, when combined with Angostura, it saids digestion, so helps to process your dinner," says Alessandro Palumbo, author of Lord Barrington's Bluff: A compnion for Discerning Drinkers. Tonic's Quinine is also an anti-inflammatory, so reduces muscle soreness the morning after. Cheers to that.
15 ROAST WITH THE MOST
The best...Sunday lunch for flavour and fitness
Prepare the perfect weekend meal with the help of Bruno Loubet, chef patron of Bistrot Bruno Loubet (bistrotbrunoloubet.com)
Turkey crown is the leanest join in the supermarket, giving you a valuable protein hit without the fat penalty. The trick to keeping the meat moist is to cook at a relatively low heat (140.C), over a longer period of time.
Brush every 20min with rapeseed oil and cook for 3hr for a 8-12lb bird.
To achieve the perfect 'Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside' without resorting to goose fat, boil the potatoes thoroughly and drain well. Then put in a roasting tin, brush with olive oil and add to a very hot oven (220.C) for 30 min. As soon as they have a golden colour, remove from the oven and ssprinkle with good quality salt.
There's no healthier way to prepare them than steaming, so cut into batons and steam until cooked, with a little bite (about 8min). To serve, toss in chopped tarragon and a dash of olive oil. Steam them with French green beans for the ultimate texture combination.
This is what sets this roast apart. Take two medium onions, do not peel, but cut off the top. Carefully push in a sage leaf and sprinkle with salt. Wrap in a double layer of foil and place in a roating tin. Bake at 180.C for 45min then remove the foil and serve open side up with a good crack of pepper.
16 CALMNESS IN A CUP
The best...tea to beat stress
Tulsi is the latest tea to set researchers' tongues wagging. The Medical College of Georgia found the 'sacred herb' of India reduces your stress levels and also fights the free radicals that damage cells and cause everything from wrinkles to cancer.
17 SNACK THAT DODGES FAT
The best...food choice at the bar
You're waiting to be served. You're peckish. Your eyes are drawn to the pork scratchings. They oink at you. Avert your gaze. The healthiest item on the back bar is the humble picked egg, with 6g of protein for only 75kcal. That's about a quarter of the calories in a bag of scratchings.
18 ENDS WITH BENEFITS
The best...guilt-free dessert
Sometimes it's about the right choice, not the light choice. Rhubarb crumble contains pottasium and magnesium, which aid digestion and speed up your metabolism to burn off excess calories. And that makes a small glug of custard a calorie-neutral treat, as far as we're concerned.
19 INSTANT ANSWER
The best...ready meal
It's late, you know there's nothing but some old hummus in the fridge and you just want something to bloody eat, fast. We hear you. The microwave dinner for one happens to all of us at some point or another. But pick the right one and you won't nuke your nutritional plans. The nostalgia-flavoured Birds Eye Traditional Chicken Dinner (a cooked breast with all the trimmings) packs in more protein - an impressive 35g - for fewer calories than any other choice in the chiller. It's the bet option for post - workout convenience when you're in need of corner-shop salvation.
. 35g protein
. 35g carbs
. 11g fat
. 4g sugars
. 1.8g salt
20 PIZZA PERFECT
The best...slice of heaven
You know that tomato fights cancer. Plus cheese is a rich source of tryptophan, which will help you sleep. But if you're ordering pizza. You've probably already decided that for the next six to 12 slices, eating it is all that matters. Here are the least unhealthy options, for guilt-free gorging.
The best...slice to avoid at all costs
The Domino's Scrummy on the Dominator base. Each pizza is rumoured to contain 19,080kcal. That's around 1,500kcal a slice, which is the same as three Big Macs or, if you're on a diet, 37 Ryvitas.
21-23 GREASY DOES IT
The best...oil for the job
It's not all about extra-virgin: all oils have different smoking temperatures and release negative chemicals at different hating points. Here's what to use when.
Helps reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and improves HDL (good cholesterol) levels in the blood. It has a naturally long shelf life. It's the healthiest option for tempuras or battered fish.
SHALLOW FRYING AND BAKING
Canola oil has no cholesterol and only trace amounts of sodium. It doesn't release negative chemicals until 200C so is perfect for quick breakfasts or stir-frying.
DRESSING AND SAUCES
Virgin olive oil
Best consumed at room temperature
Contains antioxidants, polyphenols and fatty acids to boost your immune system and protect you from many types of cancer. The good compounds in the oil degrade quickly if heated.
24 DRINK TO YOUR HEALTH
The best...fruit juice
"Pomegranate juice is incredibly rich in polyphenols while being much lower in sugar than most other popular options," says nutritionist Ian Marber.
100 Greatest Things In Health Part 2 of 3 FITNESS
Part 2 of our countdown to total health shows you the fitness shortcuts that will get you in the shape of your life.
25 BARE MAXIMUM
The best...trainers for athletic performance
These trainers are not for playing sport in. They're not even for running in. The AdiPure is specifically designed to harness the benefits of barefoot gym-based training. Its greater flexibility and minimal support forces the muscles around the foot and lower leg to strengthen while you squat, bound, lunge and jump in the weights room. This improves your core, agility and the power you can generate from the starting point of every personal best: your two feet.
26-30 NO-GYM WORKOUT
The best...full-body circuit you can do in your own home
1) SOLID GLUTES
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the kettlebell between your legs with both hands. Tense your glutes and thrust your hips forward to swing the kettle up to shoulder height. Control the motion with your abs for a six-pack-hit. Perform 2 sets of 30.
2) V-SHAPED BODY
Tweak the classic pull-up to work nearly every muscle by dropping to perform a press-up after each pull-up and raising your legs in front of you as your chest reaches the bar. Do 2 sets of 5, increasing reps each week.
Stand on the band, holding each end. Squat, explode upwards, then press your arms up. Hold, then squat again. Increase the resistance by using a closer: grip. Do 1 set of 12, 1 of 10 and 1 of 8.
4) EXPLOSIVE POWER
Hold the ball at chest height. Raise your arms over your head and tense your abs to bring the ball down, slamming it to the floor. Catch and repeat. Perform 3 sets of 8. Best done on the ground floor.
5) CHISSELLED ABS
With arms folded, hold a large sandbag to your chest in the crook of your elbows. Lunge around the lounge at a steady pace for 3 sets of 10sec, tensing your abs to work your core. Incorporate the stairs for a tougher challenge.
AFTER THE FIRST SET
Rest for 2min, then repeat the circuit.
Sandbag Training Kit
From £58, ultimate sandbagtraining.com
When performed correctly, sandbag workouts greatly improve strength and fitness. "They're excellent for improving grip strength and for loaded carries, such as the farmer's walk, which have been foud to increase your resting metabolic rate," says PT Joe Lightfoot.
Pro Power 6kg Medicine Ball
A strong core makes for a strong back, fewer injuries and less risk of mobility problems later in life. "Having control over your core reduces the load on youu spine when you lift, twist, bend and stretch," says Lightfoot, Meaning you can go about your day-to-day life with painless impunity.
York 10kg Kettlebell
With a greater impact on your cardiovascular health and VO2 max than any other mmove, kettlebell swings are just about as good as working out gets. "The motion of this move also builds muscle which supports your lower back, helping you to prevent back pain," says Lightfoot.
Reebok Resistance Tube, Level 3
For those among us who can't fit a smith machine in the hall, resistance bands are just as effective at increasing strength as regular weights. You won't risk any damage from locking out too harshly, either. Nor will you injure yourself by attempting more resistance than you can handle.
TKO Doorway Pull-up Bar
More versatile than Phil Neville in a Sunday league team. Use it to build your shoulders, arms, chest, abs, back and legs. "By working against gravity, you activate your stabilising muscles, to aid balance and help prevent injuries," says Lightfoot. Feels like Rocky, too.
31 WASTE NOT, WANT ONE
The best...pay-as-you-go gym card
Gym memberships don't come cheap. Monthly fees for many can cost anywhere up to £150 and, if you rarely end up going, you only end up tightening your belt for the wrong reason. Research conducted by Target Group Index found that only 27% of us regularly use the gyms we spend so much money on.
But a new scheme by Payasugym means you only pay for your training when you actually go by applying the same logic as a top-up mobile phone or TfL's Oyster card. No mythical mental figure of how often you need to go to make your monthly fee worthwhile, just a workout when-and where-you want one. GCyms across the UK are signing up for the programme, so you're not limited to the big cities. payasugym.com
32 FEEDBACK LOOP
The best...PT on your wrist
Paying a PT to shadow you 24-hours-a-day wouldn't only be costly, it would be a bit weird. Preferably to being followed by a man in Lycra, the Nike +FuelBand converts every physical exertion you make into a measurement of 'fuel', allowing you to monitor your day's exercise in real time. Whether taking the stairs at work, doing your midday workout or running for the bus, it's all logged and wirelessly synced with your iPhone or computer. And it doesn't shout at you either. £149,nike.com
The best... supplements you're not taking yet
As well as boosting your athletic performance, L-cysteine has been found to help kidney function, reduce damage from tobacco smoke and fight cancer.
|34 CHROMIUM PICOLINATE
Improves insulin production, which helps keep your blood sugar in check. Regularly taking this supplement can help you to shift fat, too.
|35 D-ASPARTIC ACID
A truly manly supplement. After taking 3g of this amino acid daily for 12 days, test subjects' testosterone levels were increased by 42%. Grrr.
A gym bag staple for anyone wanting increased muscle mass. Branched-chain amino acids have been found to increase life expectancy and slow age-related muscle wastage.
Improves brain function and muscle mass by promoting growth of new blood vessels and reduces risk of Alzheimer's and depression. Consult a GP before taking this supplement. £25,amazon.co.uk
38 MENTAL LIFT
The best...4.2-second pick-me-up
Jaguar's new XKR-S goes from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, delivering adrenaline on tap. Which is good news because adrenaline fight stress, says the National Institute of Mental Health. It floods your brain with oxygen-rich blood and triggers the release of endorphins.
LIFT YOUR MOOD
With its fast-retracting roof, you can make the most of the spring sunshine-your best natural source of Vitamin D. Research at UT Southwestern Medical Center shows a link between low levels of the vitamin and depression.
The Jag's roll stiffness is increased by 23% for optimum response to your steering inputs. A University of Rochester study found that quick adjustments made using hard-eye coordination improve the efficiency of the brain's synapses, for greater speed of thought.

THE MH SURVIVAL KIT
The best...five things to always have in the boot 39 RAW JELLY "It delivers a dose of glucose for quick energy," says bushcraft instructor Ben McNutt (woodsmoke.uk.com).
40 TWO CARPET ROLLS
Ever spun the wheels only for your car to sink further into the mire it's in? You need carpet. "Budget sand ladders:these improvised traction mats will free you from mud, sand, ice or snow," says McNutt.
41 CLEANING BLOCKS
Red wine on your shirt or, worse, ger dress, can really ruin a night out. The Survival Manual author Kenn Griffiths (kenngriffiths.com) suggests these water-activated blocks to eradicate stains on the fly.
42 UNIVERSAL USB
It's quite simple: if you can't call, email or text for help, none will come. "A charger that's compatible with all devices will ensure that civilisation is always at your fingertips," says McNutt.
"Sterilised latex can cover wounds, and they double as a water carrier," says Griffiths. And they're quite useful in other sudden emergencies, too.
44 HIT THE MARK
The best...golf shot to bring down your handicap
Hybrid or 'rescue' clubs have revolutionised the shots you can play from the rough, giving experienced players more length and novices more control. But hitting the right shot consistently with then requires a modified technique. Here's how.
1) Move the ball back in your stance to just behind centre and grip slighty further down the handle. Apply pressure with the left hand:this will stop the grass from snagging the head and close the club face through impact.
2) Put a little more weight than normal on your front leg, and hinge the wrists early in the backswing to build speed in the club and steepen the angle of attck. This will help you to avoid contact with the grass behind the ball.
3) Focus on the idea that the handle is reaching the ball ahead of the club face. You should be on course to turn that three-shot approach into a two. We're not miracle workers-once you're on the green, it's down to you again.
45-47 RESCUE SERVICE
The best...hybrid clubs
TaylorMade RocketBallz £139, taylormadegolf.eu
Designed for high flight with low spin, this will let you hit long from a variety of lies and get to the pin in fewer strokes.
Callaway RAZR X HL Hybrid £145, callawaygolf.com
The club face has an enlarged sweet spot, giving middling golfers licence to go for the big one more often.
PINGi20 £160, ping.com
It has high weighting and lofted launch, helping stop the ball quicker on the green for pinpoint shots from the light rough.
48-57 TAKE A STEP UP
The best...boots for any terrain
Umbro Geometra Pro SG £84, umbro.com
This shoe comes with a memory-foam in step, extra grip on the toe, and the studs are configured to help players pivot.
Adidas AdiZero RS7 ProXTRX £144, adidas.com
Although this is Adidas' lightest boot yet, it's still very hardy. Interior support bands provide stability for sudden movements.
Salomon Cosmic 4DGTX £165, ellis-brigham.com
Walking.org recommends these as the top boot for hikers. They're rugged, waterproof and one of the lightest on the market.
Mark McNairy Chukka £245, mrporter.com
The desert boot is the smart-casual staple for 2012. The contrast sole will stop you from blending into a lift's crowd of feet.
52 SUCK IT UP
The best...way to good posture
"Try to draw your testicles in and up," says Mannie Babington Smith, director of Etcom physiotherapy. "This tenses your lower abs while relacing the top oness." Do this six times a day at yourk desk.
53 WELL SOUND
The best...headphones for your hearing
According to the National Office of Health Statistics, 12% of men develop tinnitus as they age, and listening to music through headphones at high volume is a proven contributor. Logitech's UE TripleFi earbud skeep high-,mid-and-low-frequencies separate, meaning you're able to listen at low volumes with pitch-perfect clarity.
HEAR THIS, NOT THAT!
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) states that a safe constant listening level is around 60 dB-about the average noise level of a cafe's hubbub. That's the equivalent of about 60% of your ipod's total volume.
54 SLIMMING SUIT
The best...new cut for a trim silhouette
Double-breasted suits made a comeback in 2011 but for a youthful svelte update on a style associated with older gents, try the one-and-a-half-breasted jacket from Italian designer Brunelio Cucinelli. "The traditional double-breasted suit has a 13cm overlap whereas this one has just 10.5cm," Cucinelli says. "The jacket clings to the torso and is flattering to all body types." As this year's trend is for short, fitted jackets, you can wear it as a blazer with other trousers. brunellocucinelli.com
Because the rows of buttons are aligned at a slight angle rather than straight down, the cut helps to accentuate your shoulders and chest while narrowing the waist.
55 STRANGER DANGER
The best...and most enjoyable way to hurt yourself
That, to the left, is Mylene Jampanoi. She's half Frenc, half Chinese, 31 years old and the new stocking-filler for knicker-peddlers Agent Provocateur, following in the not-unattractive high heels of Kate Moss and Kylie Minogue. She is also bad for you. A study of 180 men by University of Valencia Scientists proved that being in the presence of a beautiful stranger such as Mylene causes a spike in the stress hormone cortisol, which slightly increases your chance of heart attack or stroke until levels return to normal. We'll take our chances. We're sure you will, too.
The best...time of the year
According to The Information Standard, spring is when fewest Britons search the web for health information. Only 11% seek an online diagnosis from March to May, compared with 64% during the winter months. Make the most of the good times.

68 THE TOP DOG
Best...pet for burning fat and cutting stress
Owning a pet of any kind can reduce stress, depression and cholesterol levels according to multiple studies. In research carried out by the State University of New York at Buffalo, Wall Street stockbrokers who adopted a dog quickly reduced their blood pressure (cutting their risk of heart disease in the process) and lost weight through an immediate spike in daily exercise. "Breeds including the Geran Shepherd, Labrador, Springer Spaniel and Weimaraner all require over two hours of exercise a day," says Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary. The Weimeraner gets the MH wag of approval as man's best personal trainer friend, as its short hair requires the least grooming.

74-77 RULE BRITANNIA
The best...places to stay, unwind, eat and exist
The best...place to stay
NORTON HOUSE HOTEL & SPA
Studies show that just one night away from home relaxing will leave you happier at work for the next three weeks. This award-winning hotel in Edinburgh has it all:manicured grounds for your morning constitutional, a fitness suite, a top-end spa and a great restaurant.
The best...place to unwind
The hotel has come a long way since its time as one of Liam Gallagher's favoured hellraising haunts. These days it offers the UK's best escape from urban living. The Complete Man treatment package offers a deep-tissue back massage, facial, hand scrub and nail tidy, all for £130.
The best...place to live
Recently named the healthiest place to live in the UK in the Halifax quality of life survey. Around 95% of residents in the leafy district in north Hampshire claim to be in good health. The local men live, on average, two years longer and get paid around 40% more than the national average.
Location, location, location.(And cash.)
The best...place to dine out
The nutritional wisdom of eating local produce is common sense. And much of what you'll find on the menu at this Michelin-starred pub in the Kentish coastal village Seasalter can be seen grazing out the window. Bread, fish, ham, butter-even salt-is made, on site.
78 CLEAN BREAK
The best...holiday atmosphere
In 2011, the World Health Organization declared Estonia the nation with the cleanest air on the planet. So breathe easy next time it comes to making that holiday decision by heading to the Baltic coast. At just £44 return (ryanair.com) it's a financial breeze.
79 SAFE SEAT
The best...office chair for your back
Humans were not designed to sit down all day. Wheel in the FreedMan desk chair, which is angled forward at a precise 27 degrees to encourage a natural curve in your spine. "Tilting the body slightly forward also ensures you hold your posture steady," says Phil Bates, senior technical policy advisor at the institution of Occupational Safety and Health. Those nodes will even gently massage your back while you work, turning your office into a make shift health spa.
80 POWER PLANT
The best...flower for your lungs
NASA's research into which plants would help purify air in space stations revealed that the gerbera daisy removes the toxic chemicals formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethelyne fromm the surrounding area more effectively than any other flora.

The best...tunes for every mood
Blackwater Octave One
"Fast musical tempos of 120-140bpm can increase heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing rate," says Dr Vicky Williamson*. This track hits 134bpm for 7 min.
My Generation The Who
"Fast vocals, heavy instrumentation and key changes energis the system and boost endurance," says Williamson.
Best for...cooling off
One Love Bob Marley
This song plods along at 75bpm and is perhaps the warmest, modt positive entry in a very warm and very positive Marley Songbook, ideal for gently easing down your heart rate.
Wrote for Luck Happy Mondays
The first time that Shaun Ryder has been associated with a beneficial health message. "A tune from your past induces a relaxed state and a positive outlook," says Williamson.
All the Way New Order
This brilliant song is enhanced by its lack of familiarity. "If we hear a song too often we get psychologically sick of it. It's called the 'mere exposure effect'."
Best for...pain relief
212 Azealia Banks
This track is veritable Dresden of C-bombs, making it better than aspirin. Keele University found swearing ups tolerance and of pain, Sing along, Quietly.
Your favourite song
"Studies show our exercise rate, pain thresholds and state of relaxation all benefit from hearing music we like," says Williamson. One man's Meat Katie is another man's Poison...
88 LIFT OFF
The best...sexual position for muscle building
1 "The most demanding sexual positions have the male standing," says sex coach Dr Patti Britton (drpattibritton.com). Lift her to waist height with her legs wrapped around you. Lean against a wall initially for balance.
2 Now step away from the wall, holding your back straight as you take her weight. "Move and bend in different directions to intensify the workout," Britton says. Your goal is as many reps as possible.
3 Finally, bend your knees slightly while she raises her knees to her chest. From there, ask her to rest on your shoulders. "This is very tough but it allows you to add velocity," says Britton. Velocity is good.

95 FUTURE PROVEN
The best...new medicine
'Monoclonal antidodies' can selectively target hostile cancer, asthma and arthritis cells. "They're produced by cloning a 'parent' antobody. Usually taken from mice, and engineered to work in humans," says the Medical Research Council's Hanah Isom. A third of all new drug treatments use them and they will be what cures our near future.

The best...films for you, ever
Research from the University of Maryland School of Medicine says that funny films are good for you. After viewing, volunteers were found to have expanded blood vessel lining, thus improving vascular function. Here is a whole working week's worth of cardiac health.
"When i first saw it, I actually thought I'd die laughing," says Bunny and the Bull actor Simon Farnaby. "It's a lesson in how acting styles don't have to change from drama to comedy."
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY
"When Ben Stiller's Swollen balls filled the screen we all knew we were seeing something special," says comedian James Mullinger".
WAY OUT WEST
"Rewatching Laurel and Hardy recently, I couldn't believe how funny they were," says Farnaby. "Ricky Gervais is a fan - David Brent's tie - wiggling and sly glances are all ollie."
THIS IS SPINAL TAP
"Not just the funniest film ever, but also one of the cleverest," says MH editoor Toby Wiseman. "Before I saw Spinal Tap, my life was cosmically a shambies."
"Farts are funny - fact," says Mullinger. "The script, co-written by Richard Pryor, was remarkably ahead of its time in laughing at racism. It could not be made today."

Drugs, Hangouts, Parties and Radiohead: The Story of “Robin”, the Animated Series You Should Have Watched By Now
By Hernan Panessi via El Planteo.
There was a time when cartoons repeated rhetoric that ran counter to good manners, brash broke existing norms, and new tales full of inaccuracy, sex, drugs and vagrancy appeared. Why, 25 years after its premiere, some still remember Robinthe wonderful creation of the Swedish animator Magnus carlsson?
In the story, Robin is a slacker who lives in a bare apartment, takes on any casual job, enjoys partying, and hanging out with Benjamin, his heavy drinker best friend.
Over 30 standalone episodes filled with slices of life, Robin’s misadventures almost always end in one place: doing nothing constructive with his life.
The series first aired on Swedish channel SVT1. In Latin America, the Robin series was broadcast on the legendary Locomotion television channel. In total, it was broadcast in around fifty countries. “It’s great that people always like this”, says Magnus El Planteo.

Back then, Robin mixed a certain lack of prejudice with a strong underground spirit, compressing a dry story and novel that captivated people across generations with slices of mundane realism.
Moreover, among his curiosities, in Latin America, the voice of the character was provided by Mario CastaÃ±eda himself, known for having voiced Goku in Dragon Ball Z.
“People love nostalgia. The older you get, the more nostalgic you become. Those who remember Robin when they were kids or teenagers are now middle-aged adults and want to remember things as they used to be,” he continues. .
Magnus, the artist
However, it is difficult to argue that Robin was his most recognized work in the world, as Magnus Carlsson is also the author of Three Amigos and Jerry, aired on Nickelodeon and Jetix from ViacomCBS (NASDAQ: VIAC), and Lisa, seen on AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) ‘s Cartoon Network in the “Small World” block.
“It’s hard to say which is my most popular series. Some of my series have been broadcast in more countries than Robin, even though they were aimed at children.”
Magnus Carlsson is currently developing a few new projects and hopes that “one of them will come to fruition soon”. He also spends his days writing and painting pictures.

âThe best thing about Robin is that he touched a lot, a lot of viewers all over the world. The worst part was that I worked with a film company that couldn’t produce more films. episodes or a feature film, “he admits.
Sweden in the 1990s: between political detachment, nihilism and inaccuracy
Inspired by Magnus’ own life, in his twenties when he lived in his first apartment (“I was curious, shy and a bit of a womanizer, like Robin”), the animated series tells about a social reality in which “Politics and what was politically correct was not generally discussed.”
He continues: “It was about surviving and, at the same time, having fun,” he says.
-What would Robin do if it was produced today?
Robin has a part-time job as a computer technician and Benjamin retires prematurely after an unfortunate accident. He has been given a wheelchair and is a medical cannabis activist. They are still hanging around. Robin and his friend Benjamin have been friends since their teenage years. Time flies by and suddenly they are looking at each other standing and they are over 50 years old. Or, Robin is standing and Benjamin is sitting in his wheelchair, in which he now spends his days following an unnecessary accident.
-What happened to Benjamin and why is he in a wheelchair now?
-During a party, he spent the whole night in a tree drinking beer, then Robin bet that Benjamin could jump off the tree safely with an umbrella as a parachute. Robin in turn lives in his spacious 35 square meter studio. And he’s doing perfectly well. The position of IT technician in the IT and dry cleaning department of Achmed is also suitable. It’s not a good technical job, to be honest. Most of the time, he travels with small parcels to different addresses in the city. But it’s okay. Sometimes Robin DJ at PizzaGuzzen where he plays hip-hop and dub. He did not start a family. He doesn’t really have time for that. Sometimes he has to relax. Orâ¦ most of the time.

-And Benjamin’s life?
-Benjamin moved into the same building as Robin, upstairs. But since the accident, Benjamin has spent most of his time with Robin, as it is very difficult to go up or down any stairs (no elevator) in a wheelchair. Benjamin is pre-retired and is a strong advocate for medical cannabis. He is greatly helped by this drug and takes every opportunity to relieve pain. Benjamin is also very active on Tinder, with varying degrees of success.
Radiohead and controversies
In the 90s, Sweden was quite a carefree country. “It was easy to find an apartment and work. We were also early with computers and computers. And we young people had enough money to be able to travel the world,” says the author.
And it’s no wonder that Robin received a very positive reception when he first started showing on TV. Later, however, there was even more buzz when Radiohead wanted to have Robin as the main character in a music video.
What, Radiohead!?!? Yes. In 1997, the British group Radiohead discovered the Robin series on Channel 4 and went crazy. They quickly reached out to Magnus Carlsson to have Robin in the music video for their song “Paranoid Android”.
âHis producer called me and asked if I wanted to do a video for the OK Computer album. And I wanted to do it,â Magnus recalls.
At the time, parts of this clip were censored for containing “explicit nudity scenes.”
-When you did the series, did you get any “encouragement”?
-What is your opinion on the recreational use of cannabis?
-I don’t like it, but I don’t really have an opinion on people who smoke and people who don’t smoke.
– What do you think is the most controversial episode of the series?
-Nowadays people get angry about everything, so it’s impossible to say.

After the publication of several laws that helps to enhance innovation, research and cooperation as for example Law of Innovation (2004), Law of Good (2005), finally in the end of 2018, the Law 13755/18 or Rota 2030 was launched. It is a new industrial policy for the automotive sector. The program provides incentives for local companies that improve fuel efficiency, vehicular safety or invest in research and development in somewhere in the chain. Other important areas that will be funded are: mobility, logistic and sustainability.
Rota 2030 program will run for 15 years and will provide tax credits over the next five years with an estimated value of total 2.1 billion BRL in 2019 and 1.5 billion BRL in 2020. In short, the main objective of this new incentive is to grant of up to R$ 1.6 billion per year of tax credit to the industry, if the participating companies of Rota 2030 invest at least R$ 5 billion per year in research and development.
What is also interesting to notice is that this incentive also covers the sector of auto parts and strategic systems, and thereby not is limited to car producers only.
Creation of a Fund
Another important point is that the law enables importers in this sector to deposit 2 percent of the import taxes in a Fund of Priority Projects and Programs (PPP). It is estimated that these resources can reach an annual value of 70 to 100 million BRL (17-25 million USD). With that scenario and considering the capacity for research and development in these areas, a saturation point (all researchers full occupied with projects) will be reached already within 4 years, if not the international collaboration increases significantly. Therefore, international cooperation will be playing a relevant role in raising the scientific and technological knowledge in Brazilian, especially in ICT connected to the automotive sector.
The Fund will be managed by several institutions from the Government, Academic sector and Industries. They will together define the themes where funding can be applied. The themes selected so far are: Industry 4.0; Connectivity; Strategic Systems; Strategic solutions for mobility and logistics; New technologies in propulsion or vehicle autonomy and its auto parts; development of tools, molds and models; nanotechnology; bid data; analytical and predictive systems and artificial intelligence. New themes can be added if the industry find it relevant. The fund can be accessed in two different ways, either by open calls or by projects proposed directly by the industry itself.
Objectives of Rota 2030
The main objectives of Rota 2030 are to: Increase energy efficiency, structural performance and the availability of assistive technologies; Increase investments in R & D in Brazil; Stimulate the production of new technologies and innovations; Automate the manufacturing process and increase productivity; Promote the use of biofuels and alternative forms of propulsion and valorize the Brazilian energy matrix; Ensure technical training and professional qualification in the mobility and logistics sector and; Ensure the expansion or maintenance of employment in the mobility and logistics sector.

Happy Saturday everyone! The weekends are meant for rejuvenating, spending time with friends and family, and maybe even doing a little self-exploration. These quotes from Emerson are about the infinite capabilities that lie within us and the pricelessness of true friendship.
My weekend started off with a great upper-body cardio workout (lots of reps, minimal rest periods, and light weights).
Today we went to Richmond, MI and visited one of their flea markets. My folks love antiquing and flea markets so we spent the day rummaging through all kinds of things displayed by the numerous vendors there. We also had a great breakfast at a place called the Village Cafe. It was really busy for a small town like Richmond. I had a pork chop and eggs breakfast that was phenomenal. My Dad had his typical eggs and toast and my Mom had a Tuna Sandwich without the bread (she is allergic to gluten). A great meal, once we got sat down.
The rest of my day will be reading, getting caught up on my writing, and preparing for another day of cardio at the gym. I hope everyone’s weekend is going well!
Here’s to adventure, recharging batteries, and hanging out with friends and family.
See you tomorrow…

Monitoring the health of your systems and operations is an essential component of effective IT management. IT environments today are more distributed and hybrid than ever, and business applications often run across multiple points in the datacenter or even across multiple locations. With such a distributed environment, network connectivity is critical to keep the business functioning smoothly. Additionally, efficient enterprise-quality backup solutions are necessary to avoid business interruptions in this hyper-connected world. Having the right level of visibility and control into your hybrid environment to monitor performance and latency becomes a must-have capability. Today, two new features in the Operations Management Suite will be available for public preview that will enhance functionality for monitoring network performance and backup deployments to help you meet business needs.
Insights for network performance and connectivity
Monitoring the quality of network connectivity between your datacenters, remote office sites, or even critical workloads running line of business applications is a challenge in most IT environments. Conventional network monitoring solutions provide very little information about performance of the network as these are generally designed to monitor health of individual network devices. The Network Performance Monitor technology, part of the Operations Management Suite, offers near real-time monitoring of network performance parameters such as loss and latency. It enables timely detection of network performance issues and localizes the source of the problem to a particular network segment or device. Using historical trend graphs, you can easily detect transient network performance issues. An interactive topology graph allows you to visualize the hop-by-hop network routes and determine the source of the problem. Now you can confidently tell if a network issue is affecting your application performance without having to rely on your network team.

Consolidated view of backup status
Many companies today are taking advantage of cloud backup solutions to securely protect enterprise data and applications without the hassle and complexity of on-premises solutions. Azure Backup, part of Operations Management Suite can further reduce time managing and maintaining backup deployments with this latest feature that centralizes monitoring and alerting into a single dashboard. Now, rather than having to go to each server to check the status of backups, you can see backup jobs and alerts across cloud and on-premises in one place. You can also configure alerts for backup failures and view the alerts or subscribe to email notifications, to keep you informed as issues arise.
Increased agility for your IT operations
These two new monitoring features support the goal of the Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) to increase agility for IT operations. OMS leverages Microsoft’s deep operations management experience to streamline IT management across any hybrid cloud. With capabilities spanning analytics, automation, configuration, security, backup and disaster recovery, OMS is a cloud-based management platform designed for speed and agility. As a SaaS solution, OMS can be set up within minutes, giving you immediate visibility across your environment. Now you can confidently tell if a network issue is affecting your service so you can immediately provide insight to your network team.


It could not be otherwise, since it is the service pistol of a major armies of the world, a status to which he agreed in perhaps the first major competition of this type of the modern era. It is also one of the most numerous police gun 4 in the U.S., as well officially used in at least 36 states.
The circumstances surrounding this contest, and misuse that was made by some users (SEALs), contributed to some bad reputation that has been impossible to eliminate, as much as you have explained the reasons for each ” failures “. Indeed, as we shall see, most of the complaints / incidents that occur are provided (with their solutions) in the gun manual itself. I sincerely believe to be few who have read it “cover to cover”.
Its size (9m / m Luger), which was not to the liking of the “customer”, has also undoubtedly contributed to these negative opinions. At the time it was adopted, the truth is that there were many more options. The Beretta is one of the “wonder nine”, and one of the common denominators of these was the large capacity magazine. Besides 9m / m Luger, to mid 70 other gauges were not viable to manufacture the charger 15 shots, and the power pistol grip comfort. Currently, we know that the .40 S & W, 357 SIG, even 10 m / m, offer advantages over 9, but it would be a work mammoth replace a standard caliber in NATO with over half a million weapons in service, only the main army of its component.
Therefore, I believe that many of the criticisms made this gun and not have much to do with its quality itself (I mean weapons “original”), but with external elements, use of non-original accessories or simple cultural or social prejudices (attachment to certain caliber, uniformity is not adapted, etc.).
-History, users and variants:
The design of the Model 92 itself, began around 1970, looking for a weapon for police use that combines the features of traditional Berettas with others that the Italian manufacturer estimated that they would ask a gun of this type in the years ahead (of was well done, and really the 92 is the “mother” of the guns “wonder 9”). In 1975 he published the basic model, a mixed and single action, with 15 shots charger and a manual safety fin located on the frame, a Colt 1911 type position. At that time, the Brazilian government was looking for a gun to its armed forces, and was actually the first customer of the Beretta. Therefore, the Taurus PT92 maintains the manual safety in that position. Today, sports models such as Steel 1 have returned to this provision.
In 1977, Italian police 92S adopted to replace the 34 and 51 models. Just one year later, the U.S. government launched the program Joint Service Small Arms Program, aimed to replace the Colt 1911. From this period date models 1 and SB-92S.
Four years later, in 1981, the U.S. Air Force as regulatory adopts 92SB. Since then this decision was criticized, perhaps under pressure from the country’s arms lobby Yankee (with Smith and Wesson to the head).
While these diatribes continued, Beretta redesigned the gun with a new bow trigger guard, with straight anterior to support the left index finger in a 2 empuñamiento hands. This would be the 92S-13-F or 92SB. Interestingly, this mode of taking the gun, so fashionable at the time, has now completely abandoned, and new Berettas again have the rounded trigger guard of the first version.
Smith and Wesson did his utmost to topple the contract (no wonder, 500,000 orders were anticipated weapons), but finally in 1985 achieved an order of Beretta pistols with 315,930 official designation M9. Flock of American police agencies revolvers replaced by S & W 92, of Springfield fact that did not take anything right.
The shot came from France, which in 1987 called for 110,000 92F police forces (PAMAS G1). In the long term, the French do not delight the Beretta, which is currently being replaced by a derivative of the SIG Pro
In 1988, Smith and Wesson managed to paralyze the second batch of Berettas requesting a new contest. The government agreed to request an “M10”, but said it would not repeat the tests 92F. S & W protested by withdrawing from the contest, so they bought 57,000 additional M9s.
To this date, the implementation of the 92 was unstoppable. Today 92F is one of the three or four most popular pistols police community in the United States. It is also, like Glock, one of the most controversial: is loved or hated in equal measure. My opinion is that, a weapon which by 1997 had sold over 2 million units, may not be as “bad”.
Throughout its history, several rumors have tarnished its reputation, namely:
• The slide breaks and fly toward your face: several 92 suffered this problem when used with submachine loads, close to 50,000 psi. Other (used by SEAL), was fired with a silencer, which unbalances the barrel damaging the breech block. The 92 is not designed for use with a silencer, nor are many other models of guns (forward center of gravity affect how they behave during recoil mechanisms).
• You can shoot the gun pressing the looming transfer bar on the right side of the grip. This has not been proven, and it seems a malicious rumor spread by his detractors (see firms that lost sales).
• The gun battle suffers endless interruptions: this seems due to shippers “after-market” purchased by the U.S. Army at bargain prices (in Canada, to be exact). With original charger / Mec-Gar problem solved.
The variants were manufactured as follows:
- 92: (1975-1976): only 5,000 units manufactured.
- 92S: first amendment, police at the request of users. The changes included moving the manual safety flap, from the frame to the slide (design that has lasted until today, and that is the main aesthetic difference over the Taurus PT-92). This also introduced the manual safety decocking mechanism.
- 92SB / 92S-1: a model was created for the U.S. Air Force. The design included a fall and the safe exchange of the slide retained by the heel of the handle to a position on the basis of classical guard.
- 92SB Compact: Compact version of the previous one, with shorter barrel and magazine of 13 rounds. Combining a standard frame and a slide Compact, we get a “Centurion”.
- 92F / 92SB-F: the best known model, candidate contest USA Armed Forces and several significant changes: redesign of the pieces to make them interchangeable, and thus avoid logistical problems. Changing the trigger guard bow design (one of the most recognizable details), the objective was to facilitate the support of the index finger of the supporting hand to control the front lift. This style of empuñamiento has fallen into disuse, in fact the new design takes up 92 A1 primal. Base recurved handle forward to improve grip. Treatment of chromium in the cannon to increase corrosion protection. General treatment in the slide with Brunitón supposed improved protection, especially considering users USMC / U.S. Navy.
- Compact 92 M: version monohilera charger (8 shots). This model is one of the most coveted by fans as it was discontinued though, is the 92 more comfortable to carry concealed (much thinner than standard).
- 92FS: this model is born after the accident of Navy SEALs with 92F model. The hammer shaft is larger and fits in a recess of the slide. Thus this piece prevents fly toward the shooter’s face if a “blowout”. Since 2000, some parts (recoil spring guide, and charger base lift tile thereof) are manufactured polymer. The shutter flap secure, crank trigger, slide and hold the key cutting manufactured in polymer coated metal.
- 90 TWO: appeared in 1996, is mechanically very similar to 92FS, but introduces a total redesign of the outside to make it more ergonomic. For example, eliminating protrusions that impede the unsheathe, and allowing a choice between handles of various sizes. It also has a Picatinny rail under the barrel, while built this accessory appeared in M9 A1, protected by a plastic piece while not used (this feature is unique to this model). Similarly, the views are further apart than in the standard 92, about 5 m / m additional chargers 17 and accepts shooter 9 m / m (2 more than 92). It is manufactured in 9 m / m Luger, 9×21 I.M.I and .40 S & W. There are three variants in their firing mechanisms: type F (DA / SA lifetime), type G (DA / SA uninsured manual), and type D (DAO).
- M-9: 92FS military version adopted by the U.S. Army 1985. The main difference from the civilian version, is the aiming device, such as “bar and dot” in the military, and 3 points in the business.
- M-9 A1: improved model with Picatinny rail appeared in 2006. The handle has a more aggressive chopped, the finish is matte and chargers have an anti-arena called PVD. The sights are 3 points.
- 92 VERTEC: model introduced in 2002. The most important change is the redesign of the handle to close the gap with the trigger. The handles are also thinner. The result is that the distance between the back of the handle and the trigger, is about 20 m / m shorter than in a standard 92. Variants exists D and G.
- 92 and 96 A-1 A-1 respectively at 9 m / m at 40, this model presented in the Shot Show 2010 and combines elements of the 92FS and the 90 TWO. Includes picatinny rail and rounded trigger guard (like the original models).
- 93 / 93R: variant capable of semiautomatic fire, burst 3 shots, or fully automatic. It has a folding stock, a pistol barrel front and longer. This gun is single action only and does not include the decocking system. Usually fed loaders 20 shots (sometimes 15 standard rhythms), and was used by several Italian intervention units (NOCS and GIS) and Honduras. Today, a weapon of this type can cost over $ 20,000.
- PAMAS G1: 92F to France. It is marked “MAS Sous Fabrication License Beretta” and “9mm MAS G1”. The main difference is that you do not have insurance fin, this attachment would act only as decocking button, the style of a GIS. The Gendarmerie Nationale is being replaced by the SIG 2022, but many remain in service with the FAS galas.
There are others like Vektor Z-88 (version manufactured under license in South Africa, by the way, have stopped production recently to reimport 92F), the Taurus PT92, etc..
– What caliber is made?
92 The model itself is manufactured in several sizes. This is common in the Italian arms, as in the Alpine country on 9 m / m Luger is prohibited caliber individuals. Therefore, if the manufacturer intends to sell weapons in domestic civilian market, is forced to recamarar for other cartridges, typically 9×21 m / m IMI.
The regulations in Spain Berettas trigger the 9×19 m / m Luger, but it is interesting that there are the following options:
• Series 92: 9×19 m / m Luger.
• Series 93: 9×19 m / m Luger.
• Series 96: .40 S & W.
• Series 98 and 99: 7.65 m / m Luger.
• 90 TWO: 9×19 m / m, 40 and 9×21 IMI.
-Insurance and decocking system:
The Beretta has insurance mechanisms typical of wonder nine: one drop that blocks the firing pin unless we press the shutter, and other manual flap that blocks the needle and hidden behind a metal wedge, of so that the hammer can not touch. Prior to implementation of Glock, and today still in the military, was widely believed that a service weapon had to take a manual safety.
The flap was originally manual safety on the frame, in a position similar to that we see in 1911 or in the H & K USP. As the Brazilian military adopted it soon hit the market, the Taurus PT92 fin have continued in the same position. The Italian arms suddenly moved to the slide, which raises the problem of carrying the gun “to Israel” as with the Star 28/30, if we pull the slide is easy to turn on a secure (down the fin), so that you have a gun that can not shoot.
This problem besets in those cases in which regulatory imperative, the gun must be no round in the chamber, as in the Civil Guard (user no American military or police, leads them in this way). The solution is “simple”: not mounted with the method “overhand” (grab the slide from above), but with the “slingshot” the slide catch from behind with your thumb and forefinger, and below the fins of insurance. This will make it much more difficult to change insurance.
As a curiosity, note that in the U.S., how to carry Berettas also depends on the “house” in which we work: the Army and Marines have as doctrine the safety catch on, while most police users Air Force and lift it removed. A matter of taste (and training).
In the Berettas with cocked (like the French), the piece has a spring that returns to horizontal position after acting on it.
What kind of ammunition I can use the Beretta 92?
In principle, 92 is one of the most reliable handguns have occurred, the open design of the sliding type interruption virtually eliminates “chimney” (stove pipe), since the friction surface of the sheath is minimal. If there have been problems of extraction, as discussed below, in uncleaned weapons or many shots behind.
A very positive aspect is that the manufacturer does not put any obstacle to the use of munitions spicy (+ P, and + P +, including high pressure NATO). Nor mark limits the number of shots (usually a standard police pistol is designed to hold 10,000 shots), and some have exceeded 50,000 rounds before being “retired”. The renowned instructor Ken Hackathorn said it was “the most reliable pistol all service.”
Some ammunition which has been shown to work well the Beretta 92 are:
-JHP Federal 115 grain.
Olin-Winchester Super Match 147 grain JHP.
-Federal Gold Medal Match 124 grain FMJ.
Winchester Ranger 127-grain + P +.
-Speer 100 grain frangible RHT cleanfire.
Pro-load 124-grain FMJ + P Qualifier.
Federal 123-grain FMJ.
-Black Hills 115 grain FMJ.
The 92 is a very accurate weapon due to the adjustment of the barrel and slide (but can be improved in the hands of a specialist dealer). Between the slider and the frame, however, there is some “play” to improve the reliability in environments where dirt. For this reason (and even surprising) gives better support groups pointing without him.
An important detail is that cheap ammunition with corrosive pistons very dirty gun, and use steel jacketed ammunition is likely to break the extractor. Some shooters warn of problems Cartuchería Blazer with aluminum cladding, while others stated the opposite. In any case, more experienced users (like Ayoob), ammunition always recommend using the highest quality, and that is also my advice (not just with this gun, but with all).
The barrel of the 92 is one of the most accurate among service weapons (perhaps even to the GIS), and if we change the standard for one special as manufactured by BarSto or Jarvis, can get groups like “match “. I’m talking about guns new or in very good condition, if we take a military Beretta with 200,000 dead and 2 tours given by Afghanistan, the accuracy will not be as good. Many U.S. military have complained about the accuracy of the M9, but most are, as I say, second-hand weapons that know their “working life”, and most likely be “crushed”. In Spain some Civil Guards who have received weapons used have also expressed disappointment, but I think this could be applied to any type of weapon.
Note that, with a barrel Jarvis 6 “+ P + ammo, can have powers equivalent to a .357 magnum.
A little known detail is that the end of tube protruding in front of the slide, and is able to design and install a suppressor screw it if the customer so desired. Unfortunately, as demonstrated later, the locking system is not suitable for this type of accessory.
Another striking feature of the design of the 92, the ramps are at the sides of the slide near the barrel, are used by some shooters and support to pull this piece, very dangerous action as some have noted that some shooters … Spanish is modified the abrasive belt Berettas placing them in this area precisely because their intention is to place well, although I never recommend.
On the other hand, the gun has a gauge cartridge in the chamber (just the fan), but the very Beretta USA discouraged rely on this device to see if the gun is loaded or not. Always check visually, and the Beretta 92 is one of the best weapons for this task, as pulling the slide, the area of the room is fully exposed, unlike the other models (except the IMI Desert Eagle), where we only see the area which covers the ejection port.
In fact, the extractor is a problematic parts of this gun, because it tends to accumulate dirt or under the nail, or wear with use, resulting in failure of removal. You may also lose the spring force (has occurred in many military weapons).
– I can shoot the gun dry?
Like other conventional guns, it is not advisable Beretta shoot with the empty chamber 92, ie by squeezing the trigger and the hammer to fall, the air strikes the firing pin, supporting the inertia of motion. Usually the piece is broken at the height of the shoulder that prevents progress, once the grain looks stove (there are many testimonies of American soldiers on this topic).
The user manual, on page 16, aliviapercutores recommended, or otherwise, of a pod percussive.
– What kind of view I can install?
The sights of the Beretta series are somewhat small, inconvenient that remained in the compact Cougar 8000. However, the relatively low profile. On the contrary, if we install view profile adjustable up much in the style of the USP, with the aim less natural than other weapons as 1911.
A story on the front sight height of 92, is that sometimes, if we use a bikini-type case, or open bottom protruding in the spotlight, this tends to catch on the edge when trying draw. On one occasion, an American agent suffered this problem while had his finger on the trigger, shooting himself in the leg.
The traditional sights are unmarked, 3 point (M9 use all these), or with the rod-point system similar to the SIG. In the following link you can see how removing them:
– Are there different triggers for my Beretta 92?
The Beretta 92 is a classic gun DA / SA (the first shot double action occurs, and the following simple), with decocking system that leverages the same fin that the manual safety (as happens with other guns of its kind as the Star 28/30). However, there are also simple action alone modules (used in automatic versions 93R and 92CB, and in some models “custom” competition), or double action only (DAO), the latter are called 92DS (with manual safety fin) or only D (without this element). With DAO models also eliminates the crest of the hammer, so they are easily recognizable with the gun still in the holster.
In the U.S. it is common to find these double action only models, allowing a transition less traumatic in police revolvers used previously.
Regarding the hardness and travel, the double action trigger is the best, and the single action a bit hard (5-7 pounds) compared to other models. There are several tricks to lighten it, in fact is one of the most common changes in the Berettas: the first is to replace the mainspring by one of Colt 1911, reducing stress. However, this modification will void the warranty.
The second is to use a spring 92D (DAO), which has 3 turns less, so also is softer. Those who have no budget for the spring, have come to cut those 3 turns the serial spring … this has a price, and that while the trigger is smoother, the hammer will also fall with less force, causing problems percussion. Moral: It is better to master the double action trigger.
Although not the subject of the article, I will comment that the domain of the dual action is a process that requires modifying the gun (most immediately, polish the surface of the trigger finger to “slip” and firing mechanisms themselves for they are as gentle as possible), place your finger differently to traditional (supporting the last joint, not the tip), and practice much travel and reset continuously, without pausing or changing the pressure during the process. Passing the firing mechanism to simple action, no need to change the position of the finger, is something to see for yourself.
He criticizes much of the great distance from the back of the grip to the trigger. This makes women or men with small hands have difficulty compounded by the thickness of the grip (one of its biggest drawbacks). Fixed in 2 ways: by the handle type “Vertec” and with a lower trigger route was developed as a conversion unit for police, but is now also available for civilians. Another trick more “mundane” is replace by a thinner handle. From my experience with the 92, I find that actually the handle is bulky, but this factor is more apparent when shooting with one hand, not so much to do with two, as occurs with the USP standard.
Unlike other handguns, 92 is not very sensitive to the angle of empuñamiento (limp wristing) so that it can shoot from difficult positions without interruption.
– Where is the magazine catch?
The initial model was obviously ambidextrous (the catch was in the heel of the grip, the style of many European weapons early twentieth century). However, this position ruins the classical training of reloads with other pistols, so that the model “commercial” SB, was transferred to retained the usual situation in the birth of the trigger guard bow.
You can install an oversized charger retained (somewhat protruding outwards), for shooters who have problems in achieving it. In fact, this is one of the major problems of this gun, the deal with the grip size and access while at the controls. There are several tricks to solve this (almost all women and many men will suffer from small size): one is to use the thumb support to operate it, but of course will influence the charging technique. Another trick is to take the gun to a gunsmith and we place the hold button on the right side (is reversible, but better to do a technician), so that we can operate it with the index finger of the hand holding.
An interesting detail is that, like other parts of the weapon, since 2000 the magazine holder is made of polymer to remove weight.
– What types of chargers are there?
The original chargers Beretta or Mec-Gar does not give any problems, in fact the latter surprised by the thickness of the steel plate and the spring force. Bodies who bought chargers “deal” if they have had serious problems, as did the U.S. military in Iraq with the Canadian brand “Checkmate” or “Promag”. It also may be the case of a military magazine that has lost much use force in the spring, but then we realize quickly when loaded. A charger in disrepair cause a disruption in “fireplace”.
Of course, I would not recommend other chargers than Mec-Gar (in Beretta or any other gun). Currently this firm offers 18 cartridges chargers with the same size as the old 15 (no weapon protruding below), which is a good choice for consistency increasing firepower. 20 There are other protruding 19 m / m below the rim. In fact, as he could get, relatively popular chargers 20 shots of 93R.
Also, of course, there are also 10 shots from the “Clinton era”, though these are not very interesting …
-Hold the slide:
If one takes the position of two-handed shot, in which the thumbs are extended, it is easy to act on accidentally retained, and the slide does not remain locked after the last shot. To avoid this, we recommend shrink thumbs as is common to wield a gun.
We also recommend changing every 20,000 acerrojamiento block shots, but typically does not break up the 60,000. The firing pin and recoil spring should be replaced every 4,000 / 5,000 shots.
Although a weapon known for its reliability, the fact is that the Beretta 92 is not of those weapons that we drag through the mud, trampling and then shoot with it as usual. In fact, the sense that users transmit their police, is that it is a weapon of above average quality, and must be properly maintained. The manufacturer (as occurs in other models), recommends cleaning every time you shoot, or at least 1 time per month. In fact, those weapons that are exposed to large amounts of dirt / dust / sand (like the M9 in Afghanistan), it is recommended to be cleaned DAILY.
Regarding cleaning products, one that is quite widespread, TW-25B oil tends to evaporate in warm, dry and Berettas tend to malfunction. That is the great secret of the Beretta 92: to work well, they must be “dripping” oil (I exaggerate, of course, but I’m sure the reader will get the idea).
Specifically, the “lubrication” is full:
• Spending by recoil spring oiled cloth.
• Put a drop of oil on the edge of the flap secure.
• Another drop in the rear end of the firing pin (which looks to be struck by the hammer).
• Another in the tooth extractor.
• One front and one behind the python auto insurance.
• A fire in the grain.
• A couple of drops in the interior of the slide rails.
• A drop in the spring crank trigger.
• A drop on each side of the pivot that automatically lifts the safe.
• A drop in the catch of the hammer.
• A drop between the hammer and the frame on each side.
• A drop in block removal system.
• A drop in the trigger axis.
• Two drops behind the crank trigger.
• A drop in the area where the barrel acerroja generally this area should be lubricated well.
This seems an exaggeration, but as Massad Ayoob, “there is nothing worse than a dry Beretta”.
Some performance enhancing customizations are:
-Flared rim of the charger.
-Pulido firing mechanism (especially the improvement in single shot action).
-Pulido of the rear of the slide (the edges may cause injury to the shooter).
-You can change the standard hammer by one of the series ‘elite’, but the advantages are only aesthetic.
Although the barrel, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, is designed specifically for threaded and place a “silencer”, the closing rate IS NOT Walther, the weight imbalance produced by the accessory will break the slide.
In this section, we can summarize the various problems I described in the other points:
-If the gun does not “work well”, we must remember if we’ve done the “break in” (500 rounds minimum), clean and oil as we have seen in the “maintenance”, and focus on magazines and ammunition. If these are OK, look at the extractor. If problems persist, ask someone to try if we are doing “limp wristing” without realizing (although 92 is not very likely to do, there is always a small chance). If you still have problems, change the recoil spring for Wolff.
My experience with the Beretta 92 is limited to sport, as it is one of the few models that I have used at work, or that I have owned particular. Chuck also some “informal” in which I have met with members of the Civil Guard, and where I could exchange views with them.
The truth is that complaints or issues with it are reduced to two points: the oversized undercover to carry it (also the weight, but this is not significantly greater than that of the old Star 30, I believe that this is due to many agents have special weapons “plastic”, and that if you notice the difference), and reliability issues. In that I owe them right because indeed there Berettas “first” and “second”. The first are made in Italy, and the latter those produced elsewhere (including the U.S.), which appear to have somewhat lower quality standards. The Berettas produced for the Civil Guard seem “bad”, and so seem the G1 PAMAS French (the steel contains tellurium, making it easier to manufacture but increases the risk of rupture).
When carrying the Beretta, there are small details to consider, for example, the tendency of the slider to be “open” to support the edges of the slide in the sleeve or in the body and pushing the piece back holster. This is especially true inner sleeve. There has also been activated for the magazine catch by pressing the gun against the body, and, as with other guns insured fin on the slide (in my case, I experienced with the Cougar), this piece tends to “dig” on our side being quite annoying. This can be fixed with a cover that incorporates a panel separating the gun body contact. Today there are many models of this type made kydex.
As I said I think the 92 is a big gun, but no more than other service as the standard USP or P-226, and in any case, taking a position based on the “kidney”, not notice it. I speak of course to go “undercover” in an outer sheath truth is I would not notice the difference between this and any other weapon. If you find it uncomfortable in the “appendix”, but I met a member of the GAR taking her there, but of course, measuring over 2 meters high …
On the behavior of fire, the handle being so great, “full” hand, especially when shooting with both, being a gun comfortable to use “real”, although we must suffer the rest of time.

Homemade Protein Powder
Recipe for Muscle Building and Weight Loss
Since a long time, I have wanted to make something that would increase my daily protein intake. Although I could find many options online, such as Whey Protein Powders that are commercially prepared, I was hesitant about the same. I researched and created a quick and easy protein powder recipe for Muscle Building and weight loss.
It is surprising that most people don’t think about cooking at home because everything is already prepared. If we are mindful of what our bodies need, we can make our lives easier and more healthy.
Homemade recipe for weight loss or muscle building
For health benefits, homemade protein powder is the best recipe. Here is my simple recipe. To create your personal recipe for weight loss that will help you build muscle, all you need is nuts, seeds, beans.
Let’s talk about seeds, which are a treasure trove of nutrition and health. You can find out more about the health benefits of seeds by visiting ………
I found a packet with sunflower seeds in my pantry, which I roasted in an open wok. These can also be toasted in the oven.
Next, pumpkin seeds were used in the homemade protein powder. For more information about its health benefits, click the link.
Flax seeds are a good ingredient to include in your homemade protein powder to aid weight loss. Learn more about it here.
Chia seeds are a must-have in any protein diet. This blog will provide more information on how to add Chia seeds into your daily diet.
These seeds make a great combination for making super healthy protein powder at home.
Other ingredients included were nuts such as almonds, cashews and walnuts. You can read our previous blogs …, here …., here… or here. All of these nuts can be found in your local market.
Let’s talk about beans. A handful of whole beans, in any form, is the best way to increase your daily intake of protein. Here, I thought of adding Bhuna Chana, India’s most popular source of protein, to my diet. You can read more about Chana’s health benefits here.
Oats are my favorite food. To make this homemade protein powder for weight reduction, I roasted a large bowl of regular oats to make a base. When soaked, oats become a delicious breakfast option. Oat milk can be substituted for milk, and is a great vegan alternative to milk.
Once I had all the ingredients, I took a bowl, added 20 grams of each to a wok, and then dry roasted everything.
Once they were done, I let them cool down and then ground them in a dry blender. Once everything was well mixed, I sealed the mixture in a glass bottle and let it cool completely.
It is best to eat all of the macro and micronutrients in your food from scratch. My homemade protein powder recipe for weight reduction and muscle growth is proof of this belief. To make your homemade protein powder even more delicious, you can add dry milk powder. Don’t forget to include the sugar.
Here is my healthy recipe for homemade protein powder. But be warned, it can be very tasty. If you don’t like a nutty taste, don’t add roasted Chana to your protein powder. It would give it a very nutty and Desi’ flavor which most kids don’t like.
Protein is an essential macronutrient for the human diet. It helps to build and tone muscles and strengthen them. It is also important for the repair of tissue and the development of enzymes and hormones. It also aids with weight loss.
This blog post will explain how to make protein powders if you don’t like making homemade food or DIY. Below are some ways you can use homemade protein powder.
You can add a tablespoon to homemade coconut milk.
A word of caution
Strength training is a must if you want to build muscle. Cardio can help you lose weight, but strength training can help you build muscle.
Protein powders are not an alternative to healthy eating. Protein powders cannot meet your daily protein needs. It is best to eat a lot of whole grains, sprouts, and pulses while still ensuring you meet your daily caloric requirements.
You should not use high-protein powders, homemade or otherwise, as meal replacements. They can only be used as supplements to your diet.
Ask your questions in the comments section about this protein powder recipe to help you lose weight and build muscle.

Saving mothers' lives: Christian call to end racism
As we continue to celebrate Mothers, we're taking a look at some of the steps we can take to help prevent deaths due to pregnancy and childbirth. This is part 4, addressing the sin of racism.
Mother’s Day was Sunday, May 13. As we continue to celebrate our mothers, the mothers in our communities and the mothers of our faith, we must also recognize that we have a problem. Too many women are dying as a result of pregnancy and childbirth. And, many of these deaths are preventable.
We’ve discussed several ways to break barriers to care. We’ve explored best practices for quality care. And we’ve talked about the best ways to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.
There is one glaring fact we’ve not yet addressed: the role race plays in health outcomes. We must deal with the fact that black mothers are 243 times more likely to die as a result of pregnancy than white women.
There are wealth and education disparities between white women and black women in the U.S., but these disparities alone do not account for the massive increase in risk for black women. Wealthy and educated black women are still more likely to suffer severe complication than working-class white women who don’t have high school diplomas.
One study found that while white and black women in the U.S. experienced five life-threatening pregnancy-related complications, black women with these conditions were two-to-three times more likely to die.
This isn’t only true with pregnancy. Black women are significantly more likely to die from cervical cancer and heart disease.
As Linda Villarosa noted in The New York Times,
“People of color, particularly black people, are treated differently the moment they enter the health care system. In 2002, the groundbreaking report ‘Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care,’ published by a division of the National Academy of Sciences, took an exhaustive plunge into 100 previous studies, careful to decouple class from race, by comparing subjects with similar income and insurance coverage. The researchers found that people of color were less likely to be given appropriate medications for heart disease, or to undergo coronary bypass surgery, and received kidney dialysis and transplants less frequently than white people, which resulted in higher death rates. Black people were 3.6 times as likely as white people to have their legs and feet amputated as a result of diabetes, even when all other factors were equal. One study analyzed in the report found that cesarean sections were 40 percent more likely among black women compared with white women.”
Something other than class is at play. Anti-black racism is killing black moms.
Implicit or explicit bias
Racism is a sin. Many of us want to distance ourselves from its destructive history. Yet, racism endures, and we have a moral responsibility to dismantle it.
Many medical practitioners place blame for the disproportionate rates of African-American maternal and infant deaths on mother’s decision-making rather than implicit bias within the medical system. Women and girls in every racial and ethnic group experience poverty, engage in premarital sex, smoke, are obese, have diabetes and skip prenatal visits. Why then were black women being blamed for being more likely to die as a result of childbirth?
But, as Nina Martin of ProPublica and Renee Montagne of NPR News report, black women repeatedly told stories about “medical providers who equated being African-American with being poor, uneducated, noncompliant and unworthy.”
These biases might not be intentional, but the impact of the lives of black mothers is evident in the data and their stories.
Black women’s bodies are being worn down more quickly because of the dual oppressions of sexism and racism. Health researchers have developed a term for this wearing down: weathering.
The stress of living in an oppressive society has physical consequences on black women’s bodies. Again from Villarosa in The New York Times:
“When a person is faced with a threat, the brain responds to the stress by releasing a flood of hormones, which allow the body to adapt and respond to the challenge. When stress is sustained, long-term exposure to stress hormones can lead to wear and tear on the cardiovascular, metabolic and immune systems, making the body vulnerable to illness and even early death.”
The cumulative effect of this stress means black women have poorer health outcomes.
Ending Racial Disparities
White supremacy, whether intentional or not, causes the deaths of black mothers and babies.
The National Partnership for Women and Families has outlined specific recommendations to address disparities for black women. Several of their recommendations are included in previous posts in this series. Two in particular center on black women:
“Public policies and medical practice should incentivize providing patient-centered care that focuses on Black women’s individualized needs, including non-clinical, social needs. Moreover, policies should endeavor to eradicate cultural biases and discrimination in medical practice and medical education, increase provider diversity in maternity care and hold individual providers and hospital systems accountable if they fail to provide unbiased, high-quality, evidence-based care.”
“Social determinants of health are the conditions under which people live, work and play… To improve Black maternal health outcomes, social determinants of health must be addressed through policies that raise incomes and build wealth; provide access to clean, safe and affordable housing; improve the quality of education; prioritize reliable public transportation and transport for medical appointments; and increase the availability of healthy, affordable food.”
Good intentions are not enough. As people of faith, we must work to dismantle racism in order to save the lives of black mothers and babies.
