The later model shocks do not fit without a lot of machining because they have a fork mount at one end vs the earlier one which has an eye mount at both ends. All the early stock ones are crap, go after market. Fox, WP etc, I personally use a 90 model 40mm showa with a racetech gold valve but took some engineering to adapt the 86 mount onto it. However it does work awesome.
hey Doug, if you can put a Racetech valve in a 90 shock, that means they're rebuildable right? how involved is the machining? I'm pretty good friends with a bike shop that does quite a bit of machining and they have a 90 shock sitting around. I'm getting a new bike after this season so I don't want to really go aftermarket but if its not TOO hard, I'l probably go with the 90 shock.
I adapted the 86 4 position adjuster end to the later model by basicly making a giant helicoil insert and threading it into the 86 eye mount and then grinding a bit off the end of the 90 shock where the adjuster screws on. You have to pay attention when you are putting the end on that the inner oil hole lines up with the outer shaft hole. The rebound adjuster is 4 diff sized holes in the inner shaft and they line up against a fixed outer hole. Also if you are using it on a 750 instead of an 1100 its still a bit longer which means when you go to install it you have to compress the shock about a 1/4 inch to get the lower mounting bolt in but you have to back off the spring in order to compress the shock. Personally I really like it with the racetech gold valve you can really adjust it for setup and can play with the low speed compression as well but you have to take the shock apart to alter the shim stack. Once you have done the rebuild its a piece of cake to whip it apart and alter the shims. Also the gold valve comes with a video and once you do it its pretty simple. I have adjusted mine so that the rebound is at minimum and the compression is at minimum and the internal shim stack is doing all the work not the whimpy little orifices that the screw adjusters use which is true of any externally adjustable shock, the external adjusters are nice to tell you where to go with the shim stack when you are doing the initial setup, which is why personally I believe it is better than any expensive aftermarket shock.

There is many people who are probably gasping at the sound of this. But I promise you this is still very meaty and very tasty!
Reilly and I like to replace the recipes that normally have ground beef with turkey if possible, since turkey has a lot less fat and it taste pretty good in our humble opinion.
In our latest veggie and fruit box (which I made a post -->.here<--), we got some kale, and mushrooms among other things. So I was determined to add them into this recipe and hoping that it turned good and my southern husband will like it.
I followed this recipe -->here<-- with some modifications.
-3 large potatoes, peeled-2 tbsp of butter
-1/4 cup 2% milk (or lighter)
-1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
-1 onion, chopped
-1 pound of lean ground turkey
-1 large carrot, shredded
-8 oz of sliced mushrooms
-4 leaves of sliced kale
-1 tablespoon fresh parsley (I used dried because I did not have fresh at home)
-1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
-1 clove garlic, minced
-1 cube of chicken bouillon
-1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-salt and pepper to taste
-1/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese, for topping (optional, but lame :) )
-One tbsp of sliced green onions for topping (optional)
- Boil potatoes until tender.
- Mash potatoes with butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Saute onion in olive oil until soft and translucent. Stir in ground turkey, carrot, mushrooms, kale, parsley, thyme, garlic, and chicken bouillon. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook and stir until meat through. Drain juices and stir in flour.
- Transfer meat mixture to a deep dish pie pan or casserole. Spread potatoes over meat. I added some shredded cheddar cheese on top, and some sliced green onions on top.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are lightly browned.
I hope you have a great day, and that this somehow inspired you to do some cooking! :)

“This study establishes testosterone levels at which various physiological functions start to become impaired, which may help provide a rationale for determining which men should be treated with testosterone supplements,” Finkelstein says. “But the biggest surprise was that some of the symptoms routinely attributed to testosterone deficiency are actually partially or almost exclusively caused by the decline in estrogens that is an inseparable result of lower testosterone levels.”
Testosterone booster products obtained from trusted sources and administered as per the recommendations of the manufacturer may still present some health risks. The present case provided weak evidence of causality between acute liver injury and a commercial testosterone booster. To guarantee an optimal outcome with no severe side effects, further research is warranted to confirm the present findings and determine whether the effects observed in this case report would be statistically significant in larger samples.
You should also know that a lot of people are deficient in Vitamin D. In the USA & many other western regions in the world, vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic proportions. The best way to increase your D levels is sun exposure. You only need 20-30 minutes of exposure to a large amount of skin (i.e., take your shirt off and go for a walk during the day).
Low testosterone levels may contribute to decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fragile bones, and other health issues. Having low testosterone levels may also indicate an underlying medical condition. See your doctor if you suspect you have low testosterone. A simple blood test is all it takes to check if your testosterone falls within the normal range.
When you're under a lot of stress, your body releases high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone actually blocks the effects of testosterone,6 presumably because, from a biological standpoint, testosterone-associated behaviors (mating, competing, aggression) may have lowered your chances of survival in an emergency (hence, the "fight or flight" response is dominant, courtesy of cortisol).
Lean beef, chicken, fish, and eggs are some of your options. Tofu, nuts, and seeds have protein, too. Try to get about 5 to 6 ounces per day, although the ideal amount for you depends on your age, sex, and how active you are. When you don't eat enough of these foods, your body makes more of a substance that binds with testosterone, leaving you with less T available to do its job.
Spinach/Spring Salad Mix. This was the base of my salad. I used Organic Girl Greens from Whole Foods. Yeah, I know. The base of my Man Salad came from a company called Organic Girl. Spinach and other leafy green vegetables contain minerals like magnesium and zinc, which have been shown to aid in testosterone production (study on magnesium, and another; study on zinc)
More can be learned from a large, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of finasteride treatment in 18,800 men aged 55 or more. Finasteride is a 5α-reductase inhibitor which acts to prevent the metabolism of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – the most active androgen in the prostate. The trial showed a greater overall incidence of prostate cancer in the control group, but men treated with finasteride were more likely to have high grade tumors (Thompson et al 2003), suggesting that reduced androgen exposure of the prostate may delay the presentation of prostate cancer and/or promote advanced disease in some other way.
The first of the natural testosterone boosters is intermittent fasting. One of the biggest intermittent fasting benefits? It’s been shown to increase testosterone by nearly 200 percent or even up to 400 percent. (4) In addition, a study by the University of Virginia Medical School noted that growth hormone levels increased 2,000 percent over the baseline in men who ate no calories for 24 hours, and growth hormone levels are correlated with testosterone. (5)
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) extract - this is a chemical that used in your body which a ‘hormone precursor’. This means it’s the chemical used by the body to create hormones like oestrogen or testosterone. When taken as supplement it is believed to boost testosterone levels, but DHEA has not been shown to increase testosterone in men. DHEA comes in two form:
14. Volek JS, Volk BM, Gómez AL, Kunces LJ, Kupchak BR, Freidenreich DJ, Aristizabal JC, Saenz C, Dunn-Lewis C, Ballard KD, Quann EE, Kawiecki DL, Flanagan SD, Comstock BA, Fragala MS, Earp JE, Fernandez ML, Bruno RS, Ptolemy AS, Kellogg MD, Maresh CM, Kraemer WJ. Whey protein supplementation during resistance training augments lean body mass. J Am Coll Nutr. 2013;32(2):122-35. PMID: 24015719
Vitamin D supplementation may potentially boost testosterone levels, but further research is needed to determine if it really has an effect on the testosterone levels of young people and athletes. The truth is likely similar to zinc and magnesium — being in a deficient state causes your testosterone levels to drop below baseline, and supplementing it just takes you right back to baseline (but not any higher).
Sportsmen are permitted to use the boosters to trigger the mechanism of testosterone synthesis in the body. These products won a wide popularity among the sportsmen. The matter is that the supplements work by substantially enhancing sports performance, reviving strength, boosting endurance, coping with excessive stress levels, and decreasing time necessary for recovery after exhausting exercises.
We scoured the database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (part of the U.S. National Library of Science) for articles. Of the many ingredients marketed as boosting testosterone levels, we only found four backed by multiple articles based on human testing. For the best chance of boosting testosterone levels, a supplement needs to contain magnesium, fenugreek, and longjack — and some zinc wouldn’t go astray, either.
Everyone knows that carbohydrates are extremely important for testosterone production, but instead of reaching for grains during your next meal, stack your plate high with potatoes. Research reveals that grains have inflammatory properties, but the testosterone-friendly starches in potatoes will have the bodybuilder in your life smiling at dinnertime!
When testosterone and endorphins in ejaculated semen meet the cervical wall after sexual intercourse, females receive a spike in testosterone, endorphin, and oxytocin levels, and males after orgasm during copulation experience an increase in endorphins and a marked increase in oxytocin levels. This adds to the hospitable physiological environment in the female internal reproductive tract for conceiving, and later for nurturing the conceptus in the pre-embryonic stages, and stimulates feelings of love, desire, and paternal care in the male (this is the only time male oxytocin levels rival a female's).
A sedentary lifestyle is another scourge for modern civilization. And this is a serious danger for men. After all, if physical activity is minimal, the testosterone levels will decrease steadily. And in this situation, strength training exercises are a proven method for raising testosterone. Thus, sports exercises always helped raise the levels of male sex hormone. As a result, the testosterone levels elevate after every workout.
Reordering. My husband has been very tired (lazy), but unable to sleep, and quickly started gaining a belly. I give him his vitamins so he never knows what he is taking. Only 3 days after taking this, he played an entire soccer game and commented on how much more energy he had and how he just feels better all around. I then told him what he was taking. He has continued taking and he is like his old self again. His energy has not only come back on the soccer field, but in other areas, as well.
Men who watch a sexually explicit movie have an average increase of 35% in testosterone, peaking at 60–90 minutes after the end of the film, but no increase is seen in men who watch sexually neutral films. Men who watch sexually explicit films also report increased motivation, competitiveness, and decreased exhaustion. A link has also been found between relaxation following sexual arousal and testosterone levels.
Fatherhood decreases testosterone levels in men, suggesting that the emotions and behavior tied to decreased testosterone promote paternal care. In humans and other species that utilize allomaternal care, paternal investment in offspring is beneficial to said offspring's survival because it allows the parental dyad to raise multiple children simultaneously. This increases the reproductive fitness of the parents, because their offspring are more likely to survive and reproduce. Paternal care increases offspring survival due to increased access to higher quality food and reduced physical and immunological threats. This is particularly beneficial for humans since offspring are dependent on parents for extended periods of time and mothers have relatively short inter-birth intervals. While extent of paternal care varies between cultures, higher investment in direct child care has been seen to be correlated with lower average testosterone levels as well as temporary fluctuations. For instance, fluctuation in testosterone levels when a child is in distress has been found to be indicative of fathering styles. If a father's testosterone levels decrease in response to hearing their baby cry, it is an indication of empathizing with the baby. This is associated with increased nurturing behavior and better outcomes for the infant.
A related issue is the potential use of testosterone as a coronary vasodilator and anti-anginal agent. Testosterone has been shown to act as a vasodilator of coronary arteries at physiological concentrations during angiography (Webb, McNeill et al 1999). Furthermore men given a testosterone injection prior to exercise testing showed improved performance, as assessed by ST changes compared to placebo (Rosano et al 1999; Webb, Adamson et al 1999). Administration of one to three months of testosterone treatment has also been shown to improve symptoms of angina and exercise test performance (Wu and Weng 1993; English et al 2000; Malkin, Pugh, Morris et al 2004). Longer term studies are underway. It is thought that testosterone improves angina due its vasodilatory action, which occurs independently of the androgen receptor, via blockade of L-type calcium channels at the cell membrane of the vascular smooth muscle in an action similar to the dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers such as nifedipine (Hall et al 2006).
There are valid concerns about the safety of long-term treatment with testosterone particularly with respect to the cardiovascular system and the potential for stimulating prostate cancer development. There are no convincing hard data, however, to support these concerns. If anything, the data strongly suggest that adequate testosterone availability is cardioprotective and coronary risk factors such as diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome are associated with reduced testosterone levels. It is certainly appropriate to avoid giving testosterone to men with prostate or breast cancer but it is not appropriate to accuse testosterone of inducing the development of de novo prostate cancers since evidence for this accusation is lacking (Wang et al 2004; Feneley and Carruthers 2006).
Why do we need magnesium? Magnesium is an essential nutrient in the body that can help decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis, improve insulin sensitivity, and lower the risk of hypertension. This article looks at other health benefits of magnesium, what happens if a person has a deficiency, supplements, and how to include it in the diet. Read now
You can search every supplement on the market, and you can try reading “how to be good at sex” books (there’s about a million of them); You can even try those strange penis exercises (please do not waste your time). Or you can take a daily supplement that is designed and developed to do one thing: transform your penis and sex life so the next time a girl is talking about some guy who “could not stop making me orgasm,” that guy is you!
This is an important herb which has been used as therapeutic for centuries. It helps in improving sexual desires and boosts T levels. It is also useful in erectile dysfunction by raising T levels. People having normal T level don’t get affected by taking Tribulus. With the testosterone boosting qualities of Tribulus, this natural supplement works great for building muscle and gaining strength in the gym.
Overall there is evidence that testosterone treatment increases lean body mass and reduces obesity, particularly visceral obesity, in a variety of populations including aging men. With regard to muscle changes, some studies demonstrate improvements in maximal strength but the results are inconsistent and it has not been demonstrated that these changes lead to clinically important improvements in mobility, endurance or quality of life. Studies are needed to clarify this. Changes in abdominal obesity are particularly important as visceral fat is now recognised as predisposing the metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Overall, it seems that both estrogen and testosterone are important for normal bone growth and maintenance. Deficiency or failure of action of the sex hormones is associated with osteoporosis and minimal trauma fractures. Estrogen in males is produced via metabolism of testosterone by aromatase and it is therefore important that androgens used for the treatment of hypogonadism be amenable to the action of aromatase to yield maximal positive effects on bone. There is data showing that testosterone treatment increases bone mineral density in aging males but that these benefits are confined to hypogonadal men. The magnitude of this improvement is greater in the spine than in the hip and further studies are warranted to confirm or refute any differential effects of testosterone at these important sites. Improvements seen in randomized controlled trials to date may underestimate true positive effects due to relatively short duration and/or baseline characteristics of the patients involved. There is no data as yet to confirm that the improvement in bone density with testosterone treatment reduces fractures in men and this is an important area for future study.
Both Beast Sports’ Super Test and iSatori’s ISA-Test contain a proprietary blend, which means they don’t disclose the amount of each and every ingredient in the mix. This is only a problem if there is an ingredient tucked into a proprietary blend for which we need to know an amount, like magnesium and zinc. While none of the ingredients in Beast Sports’s proprietary blend raised any red flags, iSatori’s blend contains melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep. Melatonin is an ingredient that has a hard upper limit — Healthline suggests at most 10mg for an adult — and even lower doses can interact poorly with many medications. Since we can’t confirm whether the amount of melatonin in iSatori’s proprietary blend is under 10mg, we cut iSatori.

A cross-jurisdiction investigation between law enforcement in Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) has led to murder charges being laid against three Grenadian men who have become well-known in the international media.
On Thursday March 7, 2024, the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) slapped Atiba Stainslaus, Trevon Robertson and Ron Mitchell with murder and a slew of other charges including escaping lawful custody, housebreaking, robbery, kidnapping as well as rape.
The alleged murder victims, a US-couple whose bodies have not yet been recovered, were believed to have been killed by the trio after the men hijacked their yacht which was docked in St George in Grenada and sailed to St Vincent. It is believed that the men dumped the bodies of Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel into the sea.
The men arrived on the yacht ‘Simplicity’ on the leeward coast of mainland St Vincent sometime on Monday February, 19,2024, after escaping lawful custody in Grenada earlier that day where they were being held on robbery and rape charges.
SVG police apprehended the men in Petit Bordel two days later and they were deported to Grenada on March 4, 2024, after pleading guilty to entering SVG illegally.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), in Grenada Christopher Nelson, in an interview earlier this week with the Grenada Broadcasting Network (GBN), said Grenada had taken over the murder investigation and received evidence collected from RSVGPF investigators.
“St Vincent has deported so they have no criminal jurisdiction in relation to this matter at the moment…certainly the criminal enterprise began in Grenada with the yacht because the yacht was confirmed to be in Grenada territory.”
He said the murder investigation, although being led by Grenada, was supported by Vincentian law enforcement as well.
“The investigation is very detailed and is cross-jurisdiction. We are gathering, collecting, receiving evidence both locally and from St Vincent. We have to process, review and examine that and put things in order before we make any further moves.”
The men appeared at the St. George’s Magistrate’s Court on Thursday and were remanded into custody to return to court on March 27.

Virtual Reality (VR) has gradually emerged as a transformative technology, dramatically altering various sectors, from education and healthcare to gaming and entertainment. The online gambling industry, always at the forefront of adopting novel technologies, has welcomed VR with open arms, propelling it to fascinating new dimensions. The concept of VR casinos, although still in its relative infancy, is stirring a significant shift in the gaming world, promising an immersive and interactive gambling experience unparalleled by anything seen previously. However, there are underlying truths about these cutting-edge platforms that need illumination.
Virtual Reality casinos bring the captivating casino experience right into your living room. All you need is a compatible VR headset, and you can immerse yourself in a digital gambling arena that rivals the real-world casino atmosphere. They offer an interactive gaming environment, allowing players to wander around the casino, choose games to play, engage with other players, and even enjoy live entertainment.
These casinos offer most traditional casino games such as poker, blackjack, roulette, and slot machines. VR technology adds a sense of realism to these games, offering an immersive experience that makes you feel as if you are physically present in a casino, even when you’re playing from your home.
Since their inception, VR casinos have grown increasingly popular among gamblers, and for a good reason. They promise an experience far superior to conventional online casinos, making gaming more exciting and engaging. The enhanced graphics and sound effects, coupled with the ability to interact with the game and other players, create an atmosphere that mimics a real casino.
Moreover, with the ongoing global pandemic restricting travel and social gatherings, the demand for safe and convenient entertainment options has soared. VR casinos offer just that – a risk-free, exciting gaming environment that can be enjoyed from the comfort of one’s home.
VR casinos owe their realistic and interactive nature to sophisticated technology. The VR headsets use stereoscopic display technology to create a life-like virtual environment. This technology works by displaying two slightly different angles of the scene to each eye, mimicking the way human eyes perceive the world, thus creating a sense of depth and perspective.
Furthermore, advanced VR systems utilize positional tracking systems to monitor the player’s movements. When you move your head or hands in the real world, these movements are mirrored in the VR environment, enhancing the sense of immersion.
While VR casinos offer an immersive and exciting gaming experience, they come with their own set of challenges. Firstly, the technology required to enjoy VR casinos, including a VR headset and a powerful computer, can be expensive. This financial hurdle makes VR gambling less accessible to many potential players.
Moreover, the immersive nature of VR gaming can potentially lead to addictive behavior. As the lines between the real world and the virtual one become blurred, players may find themselves spending excessive amounts of time and money on VR casinos.
Lastly, cybersecurity remains a significant concern. Given the interactive nature of VR casinos, players share more personal data compared to traditional online platforms, increasing the risk of data breaches.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of online gambling, VR casinos stand as a testament to the industry’s innovative spirit. Offering a deeply immersive and interactive gaming experience, these platforms promise a future where the line between virtual and real-world casinos is virtually indistinguishable. However, it is essential to consider the potential challenges and risks associated with VR gambling. As technology advances, efforts must be made to make VR gambling more affordable, safer, and responsible.

The UK's Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 70th wedding anniversary on Monday with her husband Prince Philip. She was 21 when she walked down the aisle on November 20, 1947. She is the first British monarch to celebrate a platinum wedding anniversary. She is also the UK's longest reigning monarch. The couple spent the day at a small private party at their home - Windsor Castle. They marked the occasion with a set of official portraits. Britain's post office also celebrated the anniversary with a set of commemorative postage stamps.
The royal couple met as teenagers during World War II. Prince Philip was the son of a Greek prince. He gave up his title to marry the then Princess Elizabeth. Before his wedding, he told his future mother-in-law that he had, "fallen in love completely" with her daughter. He said: "My job first, second and last, is never to let the Queen down." The Queen has always relied on her husband. She described him as her "rock". A former BBC journalist explained that humor helped their marriage. She said: "A big part of what has kept them going…is the fact they can share a joke together."

In his latest episode of the Oven-Ready HR podcast, Chris Taylor speaks to Labour MP Justin Madders.
There are so many big employment and workplace stories at the moment. From chaos at UK airports due to staff shortages and the raging work from home debate, to planned strikes on the rail network and the fallout from ‘partygate’ at 10 Downing Street. Added to that, this week’s narrowly won vote of no confidence in the UK prime minister Boris Johnson all adds to a sense of upheaval and uncertainty – hardly a welcome backdrop for organisations.
The political uncertainty is a timely prompt to start looking at what the world of work would be like under a Labour administration. Justin Madders MP is Labour’s shadow minister for employment rights and protections. Justin is a former solicitor who specialised in employment law before being elected as the member of parliament for Ellesmere Port and Neston in 2015.
I start by asking the shadow minister his view on the impending National Rail strike.
Who’s to blame for the chaos at UK airports? [02:30]
Justin believes it’s very convenient for the UK government to blame airlines and other travel providers for the chaos at UK airports. He believes government support was lifted far too quickly before the sector was back on its feet.
Is Boris Johnson’s unpopularity a gift to Labour? [04:10]
Justin accepts that whilst Boris Johnson’s unpopularity is a gift for any opposition party, the national interest will be affected by paralysis and in-fighting amongst Conservative MPs, therefore he says the sooner the prime minister is removed the better.
What would the Downing St culture be like under Sir Keir Starmer? [05:39]
‘Partygate’ has highlighted the dysfunctional culture at the heart of government. I ask Justin what sort of workplace culture Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer would instigate if he were the prime minister?
What are the key elements of Labour’s future of work plan? [06:39]
Justin explains the key pillars than underpin Labour’s future of work plan. The plan is designed end the precarious nature of employment that many workers face and provide well-paid jobs and a level-playing field for all employers.
What’s happened to Lord Hendy’s Status of Workers bill? [08:35]
Justin explains why he isn’t confident that the bovernment will support Lord Hendy’s bill.
Do we need more collective bargaining in the UK? [11.57]
Yes is the simple answer, and in Labour’s plan there is a desire to move towards more sectorial collective bargaining/fair pay agreements.
What’s happening with the P&O dismissals? [15:40]
Justin is keen that the government maintains pressure on P&O Ferries in light of its sacking of hundreds of workers without consultation and notice.
The working from home debate [20:13]
I ask Justin for his view on the working from home debate. Is WFH just a blip?

The fashion industry has a devastating impact on the environment. But it doesn't have to be that way. A shift away from polluting practices and water waste could help the industry get greener.
Around the world the impacts of environmental degradation are upending people's lives. This edition of Eco India explores ways they can reclaim surroundings and livelihoods.
Since climate change is impacting everything, adaptation is crucial for us humans. We show examples how to adapt to climate change: by restoring floodplains, cooling down cities, developing concepts for transport and alternative energy.
India plans to meet 50% of its energy needs from non-fossil fuels by 2030. How will people be affected by the shift to renewable energy sources? What needs to be done to ensure a just transition?
Breaking some of our everyday habits could massively benefit the planet. In this episode we look at what habits we can change to be kinder to the environment, and what alternatives are available.
Teachers and students need to learn more about climate change and how we can tackle its impacts. The greener the economy becomes, the more green jobs will be offered. Many will need to undergo training to be qualified for that.
Farmers around the world are increasingly impacted by the effects of climate change. A shift away from intensive agriculture to embrace more natural methods can help them cope with an ever-warming world.
Feeding India's 1.4 billion people is a growing challenge. Can an initiative to restore land while making farming healthier and more profitable keep farmers in the fields? And how can Haryana, a place with nearly 20,000 ponds, have groundwater problems?
Eco India explores solutions to water-related challenges, from tackling problems caused by drought to removing microplastics from oceans and using high-tech to make fishing more sustainable. Why is water at the core of sustainable development?
Eco India looks at the benefits of respecting nature, from reducing waste to sustainable architecture and ancient farming methods. Pune explores solutions to the sanitary waste problem. Plus: Southern India’s thriving female farming collectives.
Introducing indigenous foods to city-dwellers, reviving handloom weaving, and future-proofing cities with a “digital twin” — Eco India examines the benefits of embracing old traditions and new technologies.
Climate change is confronting cities with unprecedented challenges. From switching to solar power and installing flood protection to growing vegetables on rooftops, Eco India looks at the various ways cities are adapting.
Tapping into knowledge pools is key to preserving our natural environment: This week we meet migrant farmers whose traditional skills help urban gardens flourish, and discover how growing wheat indoors can promote food security.

When country fans opened up the New Music Friday playlist this week (which is absolutely LOADED – it’s like Christmas for country music fans today), they may not have been expecting to see a new song from Justin Moore.
Justin just released a new album, Stray Dog, back in May, and just notched his 12th career #1 single with “You, Me and Whiskey,” a duet from the album with country newcomer Priscilla Block.
So why is Justin already releasing new music again so soon after the album? (Not that anybody’s complaining – the more the better from Justin).
Well, this one isn’t exactly new.
Written by Justin along with Jeremy Stover and Brandon Kinney, “She’s Got Lovin’ On Her Mind” was a bonus track from Justin’s incredible 2019 album Late Nights and Longnecks, which was one of the most underrated mainstream albums that’s come out in quite awhile.
It’s probably still my favorite Justin Moore album, and one that I find myself going back to pretty regularly with its authentic country sound and tear-in-your-beer heartbreak songs.
So it’s nice to get even more music from that album – even it’s not entirely new.
The song, which is a honky tonk heater about taking the party from the bar room to the bedroom, was only available on the Target exclusive version of the album, and has never been released on streaming.
Until now, of course.
And true to what we’ve come to expect from Justin Moore, and especially from the Late Nights and Longnecks album, this one’s just a damn good country song:
“I like where this is going, it’s about that time She’s throwin’ me a look, she’s got lovin’ on her mind She sets me on fire with her burnin’ desire No doubt what’s goin’ down tonight She’s got lovin’ on her mind”
There were two other bonus tracks from the Target exclusive version of the album, “Selfish Man” and “High On Life,” so hopefully we’ll be getting both of those soon too.
It’s always a good day when we get new music from Justin – even if it’s not technically new.

Healthy Building Solutions
Sustainable Building Products and Materials
Activate a Healthy Building Experience with Mecho
Mecho’s solar shading systems facilitate and promote health and wellness strategies for building occupants while addressing long-term sustainability and near-term COVID-19 considerations. Mecho’s greatest environmental building impacts are associated with daylight harvesting and material health, creating sustainable building materials to positively support people and the planet.
In reference with Harvard’s Healthy Buildings Foundations, IWBI, and Fitwel, Mecho outlines the most impactful methods of promoting Healthy Building Solutions utilizing automated shading systems and optimized sustainable building materials.
Automated Shade Solutions
Automated shading systems are an active component of the building façade and are responsible for connecting occupants with the outdoor environment. Research supports that when people have access to daylight and outdoor views in an indoor setting, occupants experience positive outcomes.
With improved daylighting, building occupants are more productive in an office environment, achieve improved learning outcomes in a school, and experience quicker recovery rates in a hospital. In addition, occupancy and daylight sensors can automate shade movements, optimize the efficiency of complementary building systems, and provide touchless shade solutions for high traffic spaces.
State-of-the-art, scalable automated shade system for any project size
Healthy Building Strategies with Automated Shades
Automated shade solutions are designed to maximize daylight for occupants without the risk of glare by automatically raising and lowering shades to support occupant privacy and building insulation.
A key benefit of solar shading systems is the ability to preserve views and a connection to the outdoor environment even when the shades are fully deployed.
Mecho’s solar shading material and automated shade systems directly contribute to a reduction in energy consumption by optimizing HVAC and automated lighting.
Thermal and visual comfort are priorities for every space. Automated window shades not only maximizes daylight and views but protect occupants from unwanted heat and glare throughout the day, prioritizing occupancy comfort.
Automated shade systems reduce touchpoints that are associated with manual shading. Scalable automated solutions ensure that you can prioritize touchless technologies in high-traffic and shared spaces in any setting. This is a critical strategy to ensure people feel safe as they return to buildings shared by other occupants.
Sustainable Building Material Solutions
As people continue to stay indoors for longer periods of time, the health and wellness of building materials elevate in importance. Human and environmental health remains a top priority in Mecho’s design process, as well as the ability to clean and disinfect materials without compromising quality.
From high-performing shade systems that contribute to LEED-certified projects to Cradle to Cradle certified products, Mecho’s sustainable solutions optimize building performance. Rigorous acoustic, material health, antimicrobial, and air quality tests ensure that Mecho offers environmentally sustainable building materials.

Mecho’s circularity initiatives include designing all systems for longevity, disassembly, and circularity. Mecho is currently piloting the Cradle to Cradle v4 Pilot Standard demonstrating its leadership in this field.
Mecho’s products reduce noise from both our quiet motors and our sound absorbing shade cloths. The impacts of noise range from hindered healing in a healthcare setting to causing distractions in commercial offices. Our product pages outline the acoustical performance for each shade cloth.
All shade cloths and hardware systems have earned Greenguard Gold or Clean Air Gold. These certifications comply with CDPH v1.2 to help identify products and materials that improve indoor air quality with low VOC emissions.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
All shade cloths are designed for cleanability, using soap and water, and disinfecting, with hydrogen peroxide. Third-party testing ensures that product quality and durability will not be compromised even in the most rigorous conditions.
Work, Learn, Heal, and Stay with Mecho
All commercial shade projects can apply these healthy building tactics to help achieve a healthy and safe space for people to work, learn, heal, and stay. Learn more about how our solar shade systems can support healthy building projects below.
As we return to the office setting, employees need to feel safe in their new environment.
Touchless automated shading solutions in shared spaces reduce touchpoints and maximize daylight + views for optimal productivity
Shade cloths that can be rigorously cleaned and disinfected support infection control
From nursery school to higher-education, classroom spaces need to be optimized for mental health and productive learning.
When classrooms maximize daylight availability and views with products like automated or motorized shades, there is a proven reduction in student stress and increased test-scores.
Children are one of the most vulnerable populations and it is critical to reduce their exposure to hazardous chemicals. Cradle to Cradle certified shade cloths and systems help schools remain a safe and healthy environment.
Solar shade solutions are a critical part of ensuring a healing environment for patients and a productive work environment for staff.
Acoustics is one of the biggest barriers for healing in a healthcare environment. The WHO declares 30-40 dB as ideal for patient rooms. Ultra-quiet solar shades ensure that as the motors raise and lower, it will not cause disruption to patient care.
Increased access to daylight and views is associated with faster recovery rates and reduced pain management. Daylight is the medicine, automated hospital-grade window shades provide the dose.
Hospitality will return for both leisure and business. When it does, people will want to stay in spaces that feel clean and healthy.
Incorporating materials that are cleanable is imperative for the future of hospitality. Mecho’s shade cloths are designed for cleanability and disinfecting.
Indoor Air Quality has long been important in hospitality spaces and has an impact on human cognition and productivity. All Mecho products are Greenguard Gold or Clean Air Gold certified.

Marina Rodriguez headlines this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 64 event when she battles Amanda Lemos in a strawweight contest.
Rodriguez (16-1-2) is currently on an impressive four-fight win streak and has not lost since a split decision defeat to Carla Esparza back in July 2020. For the last year, fans have been clamoring to see Rodriguez get a title shot, and the Brazilian herself believes a win over Lemos this weekend will bring her it.
“I’m very confident that if I defeat Amanda, no matter how, I’m going to be the next challenger. If everything goes perfectly I’m going to be there to see this fight.” she said during the UFC Vegas 64 media day.
Despite her confidence, the 35-year-old is full of respect for her opponent in Lemos and would not be surprised if their fight is awarded a $50k bonus.
“I know she’s really tough. She’s got good victories – she’s got really good victories in the UFC. But we are both aggressive strikers, so I’m 100 percent confident that our fight has everything to be Fight of the Night.” she said.
Next week at UFC 281, Carla Esparza puts her strawweight title on the line against Zhang Weili. Rodriguez expects to be cage-side for the fight and is ready to take on the winner.
“It looks like Weili [will win]. She’s well-rounded as a fighter, but it’s MMA. There’s a surprise effect in every fight, like when Carla defeated Rose. But for me, to be honest, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is I’m going to be there. I’m going to be ready.” she explained.
UFC Vegas 64 takes place this Saturday November 5, 2022, from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

This is the table I started with. I love that it is so simple and has perfectly framed areas for the mirror.
Simple Glam Vanity
My granddaughter is a girly girl. She loves unicorns, make up, and anything sparkly. She has been obsessed with having a mirrored covered vanity ever since seeing one in Pier One. She's only 7, so there's no way I was going to drop $300 to give her a place to paint her nails.
A friend gave me this little console table and it was perfect for this simple redo.
Using Rub 'n Buff and a lint free cloth, I rubbed silver cream on all of the surfaces that wouldn't be covered with reflective plastic.
I made paper templates of the top and side panels and used those to cut out the reflective plastic.
I applied contact cement to the table and the back of the plastic. Next, I fit the plastic carefully on the top and into the side panels. Once satisfied it was properly in place, I used pressure to completely flatten it against the table. On the top I even used my heavy marble rolling pin to flatten the plastic.
Lastly, I removed the protective film.
Here's the finished vanity. Can't wait for Christmas morning to see her face!


Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh), Jul 7: President Pratibha Patil and her husband Devisingh Shekhawat offered obeisance at Sri Venkateswara Temple here in the wee hours of today on the occasion of their 43rd wedding anniversary.

The underboss of the Bonanno crime family pleaded guilty yesterday to racketeering extortion charges after he was caught on tape by the ex-husband of a “Mob Wives” star.
Nicholas “Nicky Mouth” Santora, 70, the crime family’s reputed second-in-command, admitted in Brooklyn federal court that he took part in a Mafia shakedown from 2006 to 2008 to recoup a debt.
“I was trying to collect the money — that’s all,” Santora said.
“You tried to make the person think something bad would happen if you didn’t get the money back?” Judge Carol Amon asked him.
“Yes, your honor,” Santora said.
Last year, Hector “Junior” Pagan, the gangster ex-husband of “Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano, recorded more than 70 conversations with Santora that centered on talk about Mafia business, officials say.
Pagan is now a DEA informant.
Santora also admitted that he had violated the terms of his federal probation by associating with wiseguys.
He faces up to 22 years in prison and must forfeit $5,000 when he’s sentenced in October.

2013 Forrest Wood Cup
Red River – Shreveport-Bossier City, La.
Opening round, Thursday
A two-horse race … Heading into today’s competition, the conventional wisdom was that it would take anywhere from 11 to 12 pounds a day to win the 2013 Forrest Wood Cup. However, apparently EverStart team pro Randall Tharp and Chevy team pro Bryan Thrift weren’t listening. By the time weigh-in had concluded, Tharp and Thrift had stunned the crowd with catches that almost defied the imagination given the brutally tough fishing conditions on the Red River. Tharp turned in a monster sack weighing 18 pounds, 8 ounces while Thrift produced a catch almost equally enormous at 18 pounds, 7 ounces. As a result, the next closest competitor – legendary pro Larry Nixon – was more than 5 full pounds behind in third place. “You really can’t explain a day like this,” said Thrift of his stellar day on the water. “I caught way more than I ever dreamed of catching.” Tharp was equally pleased with his good fortune and fishing savvy in the opening round of Cup competition. “To come in with that stringer, I feel very fortunate,” said Tharp. “I fished some good areas, but the bite for me didn’t turn on until later in the day. Finally I got in a little bit of a groove and caught some fish.” With nearly half of the field only able to boast stringers in the single digits and only two other sacks above 13 pounds, it certainly appears that the Forrest Wood Cup competition has now become a mano-a-mano clash between the pros from Port Saint Joe, Fla., and Shelby, N.C., going forward.
Great effort by a young chap … While Tharp and Thrift were pretty ecstatic with today’s results, nobody seemed more jubilant during weigh-in than co-angler Theo Corcoran of Kansas City, Mo. You see, the 23-year-old co-angler now owns sole possession of first place after throwing down a total catch of 14 pounds, 13 ounces. And with a top prize of $50,000 on the line, a nearly 5-pound lead and only one day of co-angler competition remaining, Corcoran could hardly contain his excitement. When he placed his fish onto the scales and learned his fate, Corcoran gave multiple fist pumps and then attempted to articulate just how special the moment was. “Being here at the Forrest Wood Cup … I’m shaking,” he said. “I’m just a kid chasing a dream. I can hardly talk.” But in the end, his actions spoke louder than words.
Tough day of fishing for most … With the exception of Tharp and Thrift, the majority of the field in both divisions experienced what many had anticipated heading into today’s competition – namely that big bites would be few and far between. As a steady parade of anglers walked onstage, angler after angler bemoaned the fact that they just weren’t able to get that one big bite. Sure they caught plenty of fish, but where were all of those 3-, 4- and 5-pounders? “It’s tough to get a big bite out there right now,” said Keystone Light pro Brent Ehrler, who won the Cup in 2006. “I had a lot of bites out there today, just not quality bites,” said Jacob Wheeler, winner of last year’s Cup. “The name of the game is getting that kicker bite and that eluded me today,” said FLW Tour pro Matt Arey. “I caught 25 keepers today but just never caught a 2-pound bite,” said FLW Tour pro Dan Morehead.
Chicken Dance redux … Last year Castrol pro David Dudley opted to eschew rock-and-roll, country, alternative and heavy metal music and instead be introduced onstage to the tune of the “Chicken Dance.” As it turned out, it was such a big hit with the fans that Dudley once again decided to reprise the stunt. With the Chicken Dance blaring in the background, Dudley came out in a dancing mood, strutting around onstage until he realized that there was definitely a lack of fan involvement. As a result, Dudley issued the crowd a challenge … as well as dangling a potential prize package in front of them. “Do you all know what the Chicken Dance is?” said Dudley. “I’m going to give away a jersey tomorrow. And whoever I see getting their groove on tomorrow is going to get that jersey.” So bass-fishing fans of Shreveport, start practicing … or get a set of ear plugs. Your choice.
Rowland miscounts … Legendary angler Zell Rowland is known for a lot of things – one of the greatest topwater anglers to ever play the game and one of the nicest anglers on Tour to name just a few. However, one thing he is not going to be remembered for is his math skills … apparently. Today, Rowland made the unfortunate mistake of bringing in six fish, one more than the legally permitted limit. As a result, he was penalized 2 full pounds and finished the day with an official weight of 8 pounds, 13 ounces – which dropped him into 30th place overall, a disappointment to be sure. “I miscounted and had six fish,” said Rowland. “Everything went really well this morning. Then I pulled up on a good spot and caught one more fish that I thought I needed.” However, despite the setback, Rowland said he’s still in the game. “The area I’m fishing has a lot of good fish in it. So hopefully it will all work out tomorrow.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel met visiting Mohammed ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), on Monday over Iran nuclear issues.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier is also to meet ELBaradei later in the day.
Germany, France and Britain were the three European Union nations which mediated the negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program last year.
Earlier this month, ElBaradei provided a report to the UN Security Council. The United States had argued that the report contains enough evidence to warrant action against Iran over its controversial uranium enrichment activities.
The report says the IAEA has no proof that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons.
Early last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the Iranian nation would stand firmly to "regain its rights" on peaceful nuclear technology.
"Today we announce with pride that the peaceful knowledge and technology are in our disposal ... The Iranian nation has stood firmly to regain its rights and will continue the path until their full restoration," Ahmadinejad said.
Ahmadinejad reiterated that the nuclear negotiations with the EU during the past two and a half years had imposed damages on Iran, urging the EU to compensate for the loss.
"I recommend to these few states to compensate the damage and apologize to the great Iranian nation for the issue, and they should know that Iranian nation's memory is very clear and sensitive and would bear all the events," he said.

Bianca is “more Shrew than She”. To what extent do you agree with the statement that Bianca is the real Shrew of the play “The Taming of the Shrew”? Casual observers of The Taming of the Shrew would most likely interpret the title’s subject- The ‘Shrew’- as an obvious parallel to the play’s protagonist. Katherina, to many, is regarded as the true Shrew of the play- When one observes her temperament and actions and the beginning of the play, this is a reasonable assumption.
However, a further analysis of this complex multi-layered play can change the reader’s perspective entirely.
When I analyse The Taming of the Shrew, I do not believe that Katherina is the Shrew. Of course, her actions in the first half of the play do fit the definition of the word- “A woman with a violent, scolding or nagging temperament”- Take for example, when she drags her sister Bianca violently across the stage as Act II opens, and her general refusal and stubbornness at other’s requests.
However, as it is implied in the title, Kate’s temperament changes greatly by the final scene of the play as she is ‘tamed’.
Despite her early actions, I would personally believe that the very fact that she was capable of being tamed proves she is not the Shrew of the play. I would argue that the true Shrew is in fact Bianca- She is, to reiterate a phrase: “More Shrew than She (Katherina)” Despite many believing that Bianca is the antithesis of her sister, in terms of virtue, I would disagree- despite her name with its connotations of purity and innocence (“Bianca” is Italian for “white”), Bianca is far from virtuous.
She is flirtatious and to a degree vindictive, and is skilled at manipulation. In many interpretations of the play Bianca is shown to have her father wrapped around her finger, and therefore favouring her completely over Katherina. From when Bianca is first introduced in Scene 1 she is instantly portrayed as desirable to many men- This is evident from her many suitors who are interested. (Lucentio, of course, falls in love with her instantly, a feeling Bianca reciprocates- Making them clear stock characters of commedia dell’arte.)
As well as her beauty, it seems the many men entranced by Bianca are attracted to what appears to be her meek and mild temperament. Kate implies something different however; in line 80, when she proclaims Bianca “A pretty peat! ” (A brat), and claims, “It is best Put finger in the eye, and she knew why”- Meaning that Bianca will make herself cry if she needs to, in order to maintain her virtuous facade.
This is emphasised in Act 2 Scene 1, when Kate and Bianca fight- Admittedly, Katherina does appear more “Shrewish” at first, as she drags Bianca around with her hands tied- But Bianca’s manipulative actions, as portrayed in some interpretations of the play, present her as reasoning with Kate to untie her, but as soon as her father round the corner, turning hysterical, so as to make herself appear free of all guilt to her father, and land Kate in the wrong.
If the men of the play knew of Bianca’s manipulations, they would probably regard her as the Shrew instead, as they would consider such actions not becoming of a woman undesirable. Similar “Shrewish” events ensue in Act 3 Scene 1, when Bianca is presented with her teachers, Lucentio and Hortensio in disguise. She is both flirtatious and mocking in equal measure to each of her teachers, showing Lucentio she is interested in his affections and Hortensio that she is not.
She informs them of these things somewhat deceitfully; she translates Lucentio’s Latin work into a hidden message for him in which she says, “presume not, despair not”- She ensures he knows that his love is not unrequited and to continue courting her. This is of course entirely against Baptista’s wishes, as he wants her to marry one of the suitors he has chosen and approves of. Hortensio is not as lucky as Lucentio- He is rejected rather harshly by Bianca, as he tries to send her a hidden message in scale he has written down for her to play, proclaiming his love for her.
Bianca of course refuses, chiding him saying, “You call this a scale? I do not like it. ” This scornful, blatant rejection fits perfectly into the definition of a Shrew, as she mocks and scolds Hortensio- This is perhaps more hurtful than Kate’s actions as this harsh rejection is towards a suitor, who has shown a vulnerability towards her. As many observers would predict, Bianca and Hortensio decide to marry- However they do so without Baptista’s permission. This shows that Bianca is unwilling to cooperate with her father’s wishes- A trait that in many circumstances would have labelled her a Shrew in Elizabethan times.
The most profound argument relating to Bianca’s “Shrewish” nature is probably to do with the events that occur at her wedding feast- Petruchio, anxious to prove that Katherina has been tamed, suggests a bet between him, Lucentio and Hortensio, regarding which wife of the three men is most obedient to her husband. In this era, a test of obedience such as this would be a sound way of proving that your wife was not a Shrew. Of course when called, the newly-tamed Katherina obeys and comes to her husband’s aid, whereas Bianca and Hortensio’s wife the widow do not.
To reiterate this, Petruchio then orders Kate to find the other two women herself and bid them come- Indeed they do. The idea of Bianca answering to a woman’s call and not a man’s is a powerful one, as it highlights her true temperament both to the audience today and to the characters in the play- As far as the men can understand, there has been a role reversal on the parts of the sisters- Kate has indeed been tamed and Bianca, arguably, is the Shrew. Personally, I find this role reversal very interesting, however the fact that this reversal is evident means it is harder to exclusively argue that Bianca is a Shrew whilst Katherina is not.
The more obvious interpretation in the Taming of the Shrew is that Kate is the woman of scolding, harsh temperament- As she is more violent than Bianca, and more overtly stubborn, at least in the earlier parts of the play. However, I find personally that it is Bianca’s deceitful, manipulative actions that seem the most contrary to the Elizabethan ideal of the perfect woman- Therefore making her seem more of the Shrew. After all, violent, shocking actions are always easier to control and stop- It is subtle, manipulative actions that are concocted in people’s heads that are harder to notice- And infinitely harder to tame.

Avascular Necrosis: Article supporting Bone Stim
Some of my patients get avascular necrosis (dead bone) after a sesamoid fracture. I have seen patients heal just fine with prolonged protection with orthotics and dancer's pads, improved bone circulation with contrast bathing daily, creating the 0-2 pain free environment for healing, and the Exogen bone stimulation. Attention should also be made to the overall bone health with healthy diets and Vitamin D deficiencies. Occasionally, it is apparent that a Bone Density screen is needed. Poor bone health overall will definitely slow us down. This review article on avascular necrosis, like all articles on this subject, are all weighted toward surgery, but does have many good points on conservative treatment and appropriate imaging. For the sesamoids in particular, get a CT scan if AVN is noted. The chance of healing is low if the bone has fragmented, which only the CT scan really shows well.
