Home Trainer Buying Guide 2017

When you are sick of training in the rain & cold, or if you need to do specific training, home trainers can provide the ideal solution. On the face of it, there are just two options with regards to bike training at home: Rollers or Turbo’s. However, there is a wide selection of turbo trainers and rollers available, trainers using a variety of different technologies to provide an effective, realistic workout.

Magnetic resistance trainers have a magnetic disc spinning next to a steel flywheel to increase or decrease magnetic resistance. Magnetic trainers offer the option to set your level of resistance, which can be used to replicate flat, climbing or downhill riding. Spinning metal discs with a magnetic field can cause heat build-up over time. Manufacturers combat heat build up by fitting a fan, this can make magnetic trainers a bit noisier than fluid trainers. Magnetic resistance trainers are usually more cost effective and offer a variable resistance work out.

With fluid trainers the fan (or impeller) is spinning through a silicone fluid. Fluid trainers tend to be the quietest trainers, the fan is fully enclosed in a watertight (fairly sound proof) casing. Manufacturers tune the viscosity of the liquid to create a realistic power-curve. The viscosity of the fluid can change as the trainer heats up, some manufacturers have introduced a fan to keep the fluid cooler and more stable whilst in operation. Fluid trainers tend to offer a more realistic and smooth ride feel than magnetic.

Similar to magnetic trainers, Electromagnetic Trainers use similar technology but in a more modern way. The electromagnetic trainers use electricity and so can be controlled digitally via a head unit which fits to the handlebars. Electromagnetic trainers can also be used to measure power in watts. Several manufacturers incorporate the ability to hook up to computers to provide stimulation for what can otherwise prove a slightly tedious training option. Software can incorporate real ride GPS data so you can recreate outdoor experiences into your home.tacx-i-genius-trainer

Motor Turbo

Tacx’s top end trainers are motor turbo trainers. This type of trainer uses a motor as the resistance method – a current carrying coil and a magnetic field provide the resistance. Essentially, motor trainers don’t differ much in terms of feel from Electromagnetic trainers, however motor trainers can apply load in both directions and physically spin your back wheel. This is great for riding with GPS course via your laptop or on ride simulation programs such as Zwift – the downhills will feel like downhills!

Direct Drive

A more recent design of trainer is the direct drive trainer. Several manufacturers produce Direct Drive trainers, you will need to attach a cassette to the trainer. The bike is attached with the rear wheel removed and so this eliminates the issues of tyre wear and wheel slippage under heavy load. Direct drive trainers use either magnetic, fan or fluid resistance. More advanced ones like the Elite Muin Fluid trainer (below) are ready to hook up to your PC, Mac or Android device with a transmitter dongle.

Last but not least. Rollers.

Rollers can take a little bit of time to master, but can really help pedalling smoothness and core muscle strength. Traditional rollers have been used for over 100 years. They offer lower resistance than turbo trainers. Their light weight and low resistance makes them very popular as a portable warm up option for racers to take to events. The last few years have seen rollers get more challenging with several models of resistance rollers on offer. The comparatively low tech nature of rollers means that they last a very long time, my mid 80’s Tacx rollers are going strong.

Virtually getting fit

There are a whole range of options when it comes to reducing the boredom of riding the trainer for extended periods of time. You can download cycling specific motivational films from The Sufferfest or 3LC. Alternatively you can connect the action to your smart trainer for a ‘real’ interactive experience with a subscription service such as Zwift. Zwift incorporates training and elements of gameplay into a quite addictive package. Just don’t get carried away fellas, and copy the pro’s on TV, and take a ‘nature break’ whilst riding indoors…

Trainer Essentials

As well as the actual trainer, there are a few options available to enhance your training experience. The main issues with prolonged use of a trainer are stability, noise, sweat, tyre wear and boredom.

  • Front Wheel supports are essential on a trainer to make the front wheel level with the raised rear wheel. While you could use a book or similar, it will get ruined with sweat. A proper front wheel support will cup your front wheel holding it secure so you can focus on enjoying kicking out the watts.
  • Sweat Covers are another vital accessory to keep your bike parts from the corrosive, potentially ruining drips of sweat.
  • On Demand TV / Films can be a great way to plod through a long steady trainer session. Engrossed in a decent film or TV programme can be a great way to be entertained whilst getting training done.
  • Training Mats are the ideal way to solve several problems. They can deaden noise, reduce vibrations and stop sweat drips from damaging your floor whilst using your trainer.
  • Trainer tyres are made from specially manufactured rubber to grip the trainer roller better and reduce the sound of the trainer in operation. Trainer tyres are for indoor trainer use only.
  • Mix Tape. Well, not so much a mix tape these days, but a folder of ‘pumping bangers’ or whatever they are called today. Hi tempo Belgian techno or loud shouty death metal, whatever’s your thing. It will reduce boredom and cancel out the incessant noise from the trainer!
  • A good quality, decent size fan can dramatically improve your experience on a home trainer. While riding outside the airflow passing over you cools you down. This reduces the amount of sweat which you produce. On the trainer, without the cooling airflow, you are likely to have a constant torrent of sweat cascading down from you, a fan can keep you cool. Also giving an even more realistic riding experience.

One of seventeen small offering dishes/lids, as in 23-3-672A, B. Six are complete, the rest are fragmentary.

Common in grave, tomb, and temple contexts, small vessels such as this example are often called “offering bowls/dishes” or, because of their small size, “model bowls.” In ancient times they could be used for the presentation of offerings at a tomb or temple or as model offerings in and of themselves. Some were also employed as lids for jars with mouths of appropriate diameter. Such dishes/lids are most often made of medium to coarse grades of clay. Knife-cut or cord-cut bases are common, though rounded bases occur as well. Frequent irregularities or asymmetry in shaping reflect fast work and mass production.

 Well Barry M is 3 for 2 in Superdrug so it would be rude not to top up my collection!

I got nail confetti in bubblegum £3.99.  Jewel glitter nail paint in pink Sapphire and amethyst both   £2.99 but one was free ! Free is the best! They have a black and white one which is called liquorice that reminds me of the l'oreal nail confetti top coat which I love.

And I got myself a wee treat I'm a Huge Britney perfume fan and I was watching FleurDeForce and she spoke about a new Britney fantasy island! I was very excited! I was going to buy the 50ml in boots as its on offer at £16.99 but in my local semichemi they had it for £11.99 if you have a rear by semichemi get down there. It's that nice my mother law bought this after smelling it on me!

As soon as I sprayed this on my skin I was in love very fresh and sweet with an almost orangey smell. But when it settles its far more Devine lush sugar cane and freesia with watermeloney smell. At least this is my guess! I love all the fantasys and I can say this is amazing and ill defo rebuy! Plus I love the
Bottles and keep the empties on my bathroom shelf!

How to prevent sun damage from the inside. - MissLJBeauty

How to prevent sun damage from the inside.

Hi Everyone,

How are you?

I am sat in my garden writing this post. This is the first warm dry day in a while and I am starting to realize maybe summer is around the corner.  I want to talk today about sun damage.

Yes, I use SPF but there is a way of helping your skin from the inside. I use Colladeen Visage. These are High strength anthocyanidins, lutein, and green tea extract tablets. These help to promote collegen production in your body but I will go into that further down.  These little tablets, when taken correctly, can give you a natural SPF of factor 15. It is also proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkle and spider veins. All whilst making skin firmer.  all you have to do is take two tablets a day with a meal.

So why do I take these?
I am scared of sun damage. I am out in the sun a lot mountain biking. I realise that sun exposer is not good for my skin and also very aging. I am getting to the age where I am concerned about these factors. Yes SPF is good but I would like to know that I am doing my very best to give my skin a fighting chance in the battle against aging.

Colladeen Visage is formulated to protect your skin from sun damage. This is something I can easily do to protect my skin from inside my body. These tables work in rain or shine and really transform dull skin into glowing younger looking skin. Along with a huge number of other benefits.

Whats in them?

Anthocyanidins are antioxidants found in red or purple fruits and vegs. There are used for all types of thing from fighting free radicals to anti-viral and even as an anti-inflammatory. So perfect for skin aging.

Lutein is another antioxidant that plays a vital role in skin and eye health. This is found in dark green veg and eggs. Food such as spinach and the ever so fashional kale. Intrestingly I found out whilst doing research that people with blue eyes are more likely to be deficient in Lutein Well I have blue eyes. reading this information really made me decide these supplements were for me.

Green tea,
You will already know if you have been following me for a while, that I believe green tea has mystical weight loss powers. It is another strong antioxidant. Green tea helps to eliminate toxins from the body, by flushing them out. This helps skin heal blemishes and even reduce scars. It is one of the best natural anti-inflammatories. Green tea has been proven to fight the signs of aging as well as reverse sun damage. Also a huge benefit for me is my dark circle round my eyes seem to reduce with green tea.

Vitamin c
Everyone knows all the wonderful benefits of vitamin c.
This is the important nutrient which creates and maintain collagen. Collagen is a protein made up of amino-acids. It is basically what binds our body connective tissue together. Collagen gives our skin elasticity and strength. Collagen makes up 30% of our bodies. Without collagen, our skin would have no elasticity at all. As we age we lose collagen and our cell structures weaken
This can lead to skin sagging, wrinkles, lifeless skin and dull hair. Another reason in its self to take these supplements

Vitamin C also promotes growth in hair and nails. Did you know it can also prevent hangnails? It helps your body absorb Iron, Lessening the chances of you becoming anaemic. I have been there! it was awful. Not only that but it is known to help boost your energy levels.  Vitamin C is not water soluble meaning your body can not store it. This making a daily dose essential.

I really like these tablets and I can't wait to see more long-term results. I really think taking natural supplements are good for our body. In this modern world, we need a helping hand with getting the right amount of vitamin and nutrients. There is nothing more important than the health of you and your family so why not get that nutrient boot you need from Colladeen Visage.

Host story Rotterdam: Sharing the beauty of your city
23 Sept. 2017
von Saverio

Host story Rotterdam: Sharing the beauty of your city

Fancy staying somewhere completely different? Hans shares his beautiful houseboat on the Rotte river with travelers from misterb&b. He loves being a host and makes the most of meeting new people from the LGBT community. Check out his story and stay like a gay local in Rotterdam...

This is my third year hosting with misterb&b. I like to travel myself and – in my experience – being a guest in a more personal environment is just better than being in a hotel. I'm living in Rotterdam, a city that every visitor finds quite interesting; since I'm single, quite liberal and open-minded, I use my extra rooms to host friends and misterb&b travelers.

I decided to give it a try because I love to meet new people from abroad. It’s so interesting to hear their stories, to share each other’s experiences and ways of life. You always tap into the most interesting conversations and learn a lot about their country, the city they’re from, culture, art, music etc. And it’s also nice to guide them through the discovery of my own city, Rotterdam, and our culture.

Making guests feel at home

I can confidently say I don’t regret venturing into this experience: I’ve always enjoyed my time with all the people I've met through misterb&b. Also, being part of the gay community makes getting along much easier: this experience makes it easier to meet like-minded people.

I've met people from the most diverse backgrounds, with different ages, cultures, interests and jobs. They come from the four corners of the world. Offering an accommodation that can become your personal place in this city is pleasant. It’s not just about having a bed to sleep in and a roof on your head; I like to make guests feel at home.

So, as they arrive I offer them a drink and, if they don’t have plans, we have dinner together: that’s a perfect moment to recommend things to do or places to visit. It’s also nice to be there when they come back from a visit or a stroll and hear their thoughts on Rotterdam. I think everyone learns to love this city surrounded by water.

Great conversations

Some guests leave a distinct memory, others are more quiet and prefer being alone: that’s fine, too, it doesn’t bother me. I remember this guy from Singapore who was here for four days: he came all the way to Rotterdam especially because he loved our windmills - that surprised me a little bit!

We used to have great conversations about our lives over dinner. He was a gay-Muslim and I'm a Western-thinking Dutch guy. Our different backgrounds triggered interesting chats. On a weekend, we drove to Brielle to see the 500-year-old fortress and the little surrounding village.

Water is my element: I love living in a city surrounded by water. I love swimming, snorkeling, skating, sailing, going to the beach. I’ve been living in Rotterdam for ten years now, and my connection to this element is one of the main reasons why I moved here.

The perfect place

A few months ago I decided to move from my great penthouse to a houseboat on the Rott river. It’s been five months now and I just love living much closer to the city center and in front of this beautiful park. My guests love it, too!

The combination of architecture and nature make Rotterdam an amazingly beautiful place to live in. Friends, family and misterb&b members who come to visit me find it incredibly relaxing, too! I can’t blame them, it’s just the perfect place for me. And I feel so lucky to be part of misterb&b and have the chance to share all this beauty with them!

Heading to Rotterdam? Check out Hans' listing on misterb&b

We wanna hear all about your adventures on misterb&b! Share your travel/host story with us and tell the world how to have fun in every corner of Earth! Mail us at and we'll get back to you.

Plus, did you know misterb&b is on Instagram and Twitter? Follow us and share pictures of your travels through misterb&b using the hashtag #staylikeagaylocal. We'll share the best with our global LGBT travel community.

Stay gay in ...

A Child's Perspective at World History - Page Text Content

FC: A Child's Perspective on World History By: Taylor Hinton and Jessica DiFiore

1: Ancient River Valley Civilization Classic Greece & Rome Post-Classical Africa & Asia Post-Classical (Medieval) Europe Renaissance & Reformation Enlightenment & Revolutions World War I World War II Cold War | Page 2 Page 4 Page 6 Page 8 Page 10 Page 12 Page 14 Page 16 Page 18 | Table of Contents

2: In 3000 B.C. city-states form in Sumer, Mesopotamia. During this era solutions to many survival issues were created such as irrigation. There were dynasty's that had power and ruled. The Sumerians absorbed ideas such as religious beliefs from neighboring cultures, this was known as cultural diffusion. In the Babylonian Empire Hammurabi created the "Hammurabi code. These civilizations laid the foundations for political centralization and organization upon which nearly all subsequent civilizations are built. They also provided many of the roots of human civilization all the way to the present including the practices of monument building, written articulation of legal codes, and the construction of the legal and political infrastructures necessary to run a central government of a state. | Ancient River Valley Civilization

3: What If.... | What if people had not learned how to farm? If farming had not been an agricultural invention a lot of other things wouldn't have been necessary to invent. Without growing cotton, you wouldn't need the cotton gin or the plow or anything that aided farming itself. Farming allowed people to stop living the nomadic lifestyle and build more of permanent homes. People would never know the difference and probably would have been living the nomadic lifestyle long there after. Farming brought the formation of different roles between males and females. Males were still in charge of the work in the fields but because cotton, wheat and vegetables could be grown women were able to cook more varieties and use more of their recourses. They were also able to make clothes and master different techniques that made life easier. So without farming none of this would have affected the Ancient River Valley Civilization and later on other civilizations. | city-state - a city and its surrounding lands functioning as an independent political unit irrigation - the bringing of water to crop fields by means of canals and ditches cultural diffusion - the spreading of ideas or products from one culture to another\ Hammurabi's code - a well-preserved Babylonian law code, dating to ca. 1700 BC, it is one of the oldest codes written

4: Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea and centered on the city of Rome, it became one of the largest empires in the ancient world.In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation. Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire, including Italy, Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Africa broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century. This disintegration is the landmark historians use to divide the ancient period from the medieval era and the "Dark Ages". | Vocabulary civilization- an advanced state of human society, in which a high level of culture, science, industry, and government has been reached. empire- a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom oligarchy- a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few. disintegrate- to separate into parts or lose intactness or solidness; break up; deteriorate | Classical Greece/Rome

5: What if Rome did not fall? | If Rome had not fallen, it would have maintained it's dominant role in that era. Rome was one of the largest, most powerful empires to ever have risen. If it didn't fall, the reign of the empire would have lasted much longer and had even more of an impact on the governments of today's society, in addition to introducing even more ideas for modern rulers to follow. | What if....

6: Africa was extremely diverse culturally. It was known for the largest desert, the Sahara. They lived on the savannas, or grassy plains. They went from the nomadic lifestyle to more of a permanent lifestyle. Their primary home groups included not only siblings and parents but also their extended family. Nearly all of the local religions involved a belief in one creator, or god. They generally also included elements of animism. Bantu Migration was a millennia-long series of migrations of speakers of the original proto-Bantu language group. This was the main reasoning for the many different languages and cultures through out Africa. | Post Classical Africa

7: What If... | What if the Bantu Migrations did not take place in Africa? | The Bantu Migrations led to the expansion and creation of many, many different languages throughout all of Africa. Had the Bantu Migrations never occurred then there is a possibility that there were would very few different languages. There wouldn't be quite as many different cultures and tribes. Without as many tribes and cultural differences then there most likely wouldn't be a lot of turmoil amongst them. Africa would be a lot more united and would be a strong continental power. However the Bantu Migrations did occur and now Africa is one of the most lingual and diverse continents. | Sahara - the world's largest desert (3,500,000 square miles) in northern Africa. savanna - A grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with few trees. extended family - A family that extends beyond the nuclear family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives, who typically all live nearby or in one household. nomadic - migratory animism - belief in a supernatural power that organizes and animates the material universe

8: The Post-Classical Era is the period of Western history, between 500 and 1453 CE., following the fall of the great classical empires in the Mediterranean region. In European history the Post-Classical Era coincides with and is more commonly known as the Middle Ages. While after the fall of the classical western empires, civilizations emerged to form complex tribal societies. The years between 500-1000 CE is referred to as the High Post-Classical Era. During this period, the Eastern world empires continued to expand through trade, migration and conquests of neighboring areas. | Post-Classical (Medieval) Europe | Vocabulary: region- the vast or indefinite entirety of a space or area, or something compared to one society- a body of individuals living as members of a community trade- the act or process of buying, selling, or exchanging commodities, at either wholesale or retail, within a country or between countries migration- to go from one country, region, or place to another.

9: What If... | What if the Black Plague did not attack Western Europe? | If the Black Plague had not effected Western Europe its population would most likely be greater than it is now. The black plague wiped out around 1.5 million people. After the black plague and even during medical inventions and medical expenses were paid special attention to. A lot came from the black plague, a lot of change. Changes in the size of civilization led to changes in trade, the church, music and art, and many other things. Western Europe was so heavily populated and was one of the largest and most developed. After the black plague.

10: The European Renaissance and the Reformation occurred during the 1300-1600. The Renaissance began and Italy and later spread to the north. The Renaissance lead to humanism and the basic spirit of the Renaissance was secular. The Renaissance revolutionized art and give new perspectives of three dimensions. People like Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were huge Renaissance artists. Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press during the Renaissance. Gutenberg printed a complete bible, the Gutenberg Bible, in about 1455. The printing press lead to an increased number of literate people and an increase in education. The reformation was a movement for religious reform. It led to the founding of Christian churches that did not accept the pope's authority. Marin Luther wrote the 95 Theses that attacked the "pardon-merchants" On October 31, 1517 he posted his theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. Tensions rose and in response to the theses the pope threatened Luther and Luther fled, later he began a separate religious group with his followers, called Lutheran. | The Renaissance & The Reformation

11: What if... | What if Gutenberg hadn't invented the printing press? | Gutenberg's printing press raised the literacy and education rates during this time period. If it had not been invented, books, bibles, and other documents would not have been able to be published and distributed to the people. There would have been another long period of time before the literacy rate began to increase. Therefore, without the printing press, more people would have been illiterate than so. | Renaissance- a period of European history during which renewed interest in classical culture led to far-reaching changes in art, learning, and views of the world humanism - a renaissance intellectual movement in which thinkers studied classical texts and focused on human potential and achievements secular - concerned with worldly rather than spiritual matters printing press - a machine for reproducing written material by pressing paper against arrangements of inked type Lutheran - a member of a Protestant church founded on the teachings of Martin Luther

12: Once time hit the middle of the 18th century, new ideas about human society and government were spreading throughout Europe. This "intellectual movement" known as the Enlightenment introduced revolutionary ideas such as democracy and individual rights. Before that, the Scientific Revolution provided a new way of thinking about the natural world, such as the heliocentric theory, scientific method, medicine, and more. The Enlightenment was known as the Age of Reason and it reached it's height in the mid-1700s. Natural Rights were sparked according to those who thought all people were born free and equal. The separation of powers that we see in many of today's governments became a main influence during the Enlightenment in Europe. The Declaration of Independence that we are so familiar with in America was issued in July 1776, firmly based on the ideas of the Enlightenment. | Enlightenment & Revolutions

13: Vocabulary: Heliocentric Theory- The idea that the earth and the other planets revolve around the sun Scientific Method- logical procedure for gathering information about the natural world, in which experimentation and observation are used to test hypotheses Natural Rights- The right that all people are born with-- according to John Locke, the rights of life, liberty, and property Separation of Powers- the assignment of executive, legislative, and judicial powers to different groups of officials in a government | If the ideas of the Enlightenment were not embraced by the colonists, the Declaration of Independence would have been completely different considering it was based on the ideas of the Enlightenment. | What if.... | the ideas of the Enlightenment were not embraced by the colonists?

14: In June of 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. Then, a month later, Austria declared war on Serbia and so began World War I. During this time, militarism was introduced because having a large and strong standing army made citizens feel patriotic. In World War I there were two opposing forces, the allies and the central powers. The Central Powers. The central powers formed a triple alliance, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The Allies were Great Britain, France and Russia. | Japan later joined them. Nine months later Italy withdrew the alliance with Germany claiming it was only made as a defensive strategy. Italy soon joined the Allies. There was a deadlocked region in northern France known as the Western Front which was were long battles were fought. The armies used a type of ware fare called trench ware fare. Each side was continuously having to send men to th Eastern Front. After long continuous battles and many, many fatalities the Allies finally defeated the Central powers and the war was over. | World War I

15: Vocabulary *Militarism - a policy of glorifying military power and keeping a standing army always prepared for war *Triple Alliance - a military alliance between Germany, Austria- Hungary, and Italy in the years proceeding World War I *Western Front - in world ware I the region of northern France where the forces of the allies and the central powers battled each other *Trench ware fare - a form of ware fare in which apposing armies fight each other from trenches dug in the battlefield *Eastern Front - in world war I the region along the German Russian border where Russians and Serbs battled Germans, Austrians and turks | What If.... | What if Germany had not been solely blamed for World War I? | The main factor would be that World War II most likely wouldn't have started. Germany was blamed and therefore they rebelled. Germany suffered hard consequences such as limited military privileges and they suffered from a poor economy due to war debt. Germany took the entire blame and therefore took matters into their own hands and created another mess, World War II. If Germany hadn't been blamed, a lot of other conflicts would have been prevented.

16: In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, sparking World War II. Two groups of countries, called the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers faced off in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Throughout this war, a man named Adolf Hitler was in the midst of organizing concentration camps in order to exterminate minority groups, such as Jewish people. The time period that consisted of these efforts to isolate and kill specific people was called the Holocaust. Throughout the | year World War II, France surrendered to Germany, Germany invaded Russia, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the Allies defeated Japan, Germany surrendered, and atomic bombs were dropped, causing Japan to surrender, and thus ending the war. Vocabulary: Axis Powers- Great Britain, France, Russia, United States Allied Powers- Germany, Italy, Japan Concentration Camps- Where prisoners were kept to die of hard labor, poor nutrition, disease, poison gas, etc. Holocaust- mass slaughter of civilians, especially Jews | World War II

17: What if.... | the U.S. had not dropped the Atomic Bombs on Japan? | Right before World War II began, scientists in Germany succeeded in splitting the nucleus of a uranium atom, which produced an unbelievable amount of energy. The U.S. was warned that Nazi Germany may have been working to develop atomic weapons. Roosevelt named the American's program for making an atomic bomb the "Manhattan Project" and wanted to be sure to make the United States the first to develop the bomb. On August 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Honshu (a Japanese island). If this event never occurred, surely another country would be the victim of this ultimate weapon. As far as World War II itself is concerned, the war most likely would have lasted longer because the threat on Japan after the atomic bomb was what caused them to surrender and ended the war.

18: Increasing conflicts led to the Cold War, a war between the NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The Truman Doctrine in March 1947 promised that the USA "would support free peoples who are resisting" communism. This was the United States' first outward act of containment. Then began the spread of communism. The cold war was two different sides, one side for communism and one against communism. Countries like China, Cuba, North Vietnam and North Korea were all for communism and were all controlled by the Soviet Union, USSR. Other countries like the United States, France, Great Britain, and West Germany supported capitalism instead of communism | Big events in the Cold War included the Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall, the launching of Sputnik and the Vietnam War. The Cold War was also a constant competition and a very hostile time between the United States and the Soviet Union. There was constant competition between nuclear bombs and was a long race to see who could perfect ICBMs, or missiles. | Cold War

19: What if.... | What if the Soviet Union had landed on the moon first and not the United States? | If the Soviet Union had landed on the moon first instead of the United States, technology may have developed much faster in the U.S. in the attempt to bypass Russia in their technological abilities. | NATO - the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a defensive military alliance formed in 1949 by ten Western European nations, the US and Canada Warsaw Pact - a military alliance formed in 1955 by the Soviet Union and seven Easter European countries Truman Doctrine - a U.S. policy of giving economic and military aid to free nations threatened by internal or external opponents, announced by President Harry Truman in 1947 Containment - policy of containing communism where it is Capitalism -

Why are so many more adolescents presenting to our emergency departments with mental health problems?

Susan M Sawyer and George C Patton
Med J Aust 2018; 208 (8): 339-340. || doi: 10.5694/mja18.00213
Published online: 7 May 2018

New data on the rise in presentations should be seen as canaries in the coal mine

Australia has in recent decades made major investments in mental health care; government expenditure has risen rapidly,1 the availability of psychological therapies has expanded,2 antidepressant use has increased,3 and the size of the mental health workforce has grown.4 There has also been a major focus on adolescents with the national rollout of Headspace centres and early psychosis programs.5 Data in two articles in this issue of the Journal, describing trends in mental health crisis presentations by adolescents to emergency departments in Australia’s two most populous states, provide an important test of the success of these investments.

10 Key Facts to Test Your Credit Card IQ

Know the answers to these common credit questions, or it could cost you.

Judging from our inbox, there seems to be a lot of credit confusion. You’ve got many questions: How many credit cards should you carry? When should Junior get his own card?

Luckily for you, we’ve got answers.

1. How many credit cards should I have?

That depends on whom you ask — and what your financial situation is.

Some financial gurus would tell you the answer is none. Meanwhile, other card experts say you can have a lot more.

Having one all-purpose card is fine as long as you’re paying off the balance each month. But rewards cards tend to have higher interest rates.

When the water heater says “No more” and your bank account says “Yeah, right,” you might want to use a low-interest credit card if you don’t have an emergency fund. You don’t want to carry a balance on a high-interest rewards card.

Still unsure which card is best for you? Explore the Money Talks News Solutions Center, where you can search various credit cards based on multiple types of rewards and rates.

2. Should I carry a balance?

Heck, no!

Unless you must self-finance a purchase or are dealing with an emergency, paying credit card interest is just plain dumb.

Some people believe you need to carry a balance for your credit score to benefit. But as you’ll see in No. 3, that’s not really the case.

3. How is my credit score calculated?

While several companies create credit scores, your FICO scores are most likely to influence your access to credit and the interest rates that lenders charge you.

The main FICO scores range from 300 to 850. The higher the score, the more trustworthy you appear to creditors.

These FICO scores are calculated on five weighted factors:

  • Payment history: 35 percent
  • Amounts owed: 30 percent
  • Credit history length: 15 percent
  • New credit: 10 percent
  • Mix of credit types: 10 percent

For more information, check out “8 Credit Score Myths: Fact vs. Fiction.”

4. How often should I check my credit score?

Credit.com’s Levin suggests looking at your credit score frequently. It’s easy to do, without paying. Start here:

Once you get a look at that magic number, you may want to take this advice on how to raise your score quickly.

5. I’m ready to ditch my debt. Do I pay off the card with higher interest or a higher balance first?

The answer to this question also rests largely on which financial guru you ask.

Some argue you should start with the smallest balance, because quickly paying off an account can give you the momentum needed to stick to your debt diet.

However, from a purely financial standpoint, it is better to start with the highest-interest card. Paying off the high-interest card first will save you money on interest payments.

6. Should I co-sign a card for a friend or family member?

Absolutely not.

Co-signing for a card or loan puts you on the hook for the balance if the friend or family member stops paying. If the borrower makes late payments — and you may never know if he or she does — it can also negatively affect your credit score.

You may protest: “But I know that wouldn’t happen. They are really good people!”

Sometimes even good people make poor money decisions, or life takes a turn they didn’t expect.

Bottom line: You shouldn’t co-sign unless you’re ready and able to assume the debt as your own in the event your co-signer, for whatever reason, can’t pay.

7. When should my children get their first credit card?

Probably not until they have a real job and some emergency savings.

Children must have their own money before they start using someone else’s cash, so a steady job is a must. A work-study gig in the campus cafeteria for three months doesn’t cut it either.

Emergency savings help ensure your child doesn’t get sucked into using a credit card for every minor crisis or shopping whim. Students need to get into the habit of saving before they focus on the habit of spending.

Educate your children on smart credit habits, hope it sinks in and refuse to co-sign any applications for them.

8. Should I close the account on a credit card I no longer use?

If you are concerned about your credit score, it might be best to keep the credit card account open. Here is what FICO says on the subject:

“We never recommend closing a credit card for the sole purpose of raising your FICO score.”

9. Is it ever smart to pay an annual fee?

For most people, the answer is no, although you might need to do a little math to figure out what’s best for you.

As you’ll see if you try Money Talks News’ credit card search tool, there are plenty of great credit cards that are fee-free. That means typical cardholders probably shouldn’t be paying for the privilege of charging their purchases.

However, if you’re a heavy user, it might make sense to splurge on a card with a fee. A few years back, I interviewed a frequent traveler who told me he happily paid around $400 annually for his premier airline card. It was money well-spent, he said, because it included a sky club membership valued at around $700 per year.

He would have bought that membership anyway, which meant he was saving money before he spent a single cent on the card.

Look at the rewards you earn — and those you actually will use — compared with the annual fee and see if the card pays off.

10. I made mistakes and destroyed my good credit. Should I get a credit card to rebuild it?

If you’ve ruined your credit, you need to do a little soul-searching before filling out a card application.

Yes, using a card responsibly can help improve your credit. At the same time, it could just dig you a deeper hole if having plastic makes you lose all spending self-discipline.

A secured credit card is one way to test the waters, and there are ways to build your credit score without a credit card.

Towards the middle of the film,Pacino and Depp are walking downtown, there is alot of traffic and some of the cars are "post 1978" model . One in particular caught my eye, which was a mid-80's Ford Taurus (even the model of the car didn't exist in 1978).

Throughout the entire movie, Donnie Brasco is seen wearing a wire device. In the actual book, Agent Pistone was said to only wear a wire maybe a few times in the 6 years he was undercover.

Linking Diet to Early Morning No2's!!!!

(4 Posts)
plugster1975 Mon 21-Dec-15 14:06:25

I wonder whether someone might be able to offer me some advice or put me in touch with an organisation who might be able to help me?

My six year son (year 1) has recently (4-6 weeks ago) begun waking up a 0500 ish to go to the toilet (no.2’s!!!). Once he wakes up he doesn’t go back to sleep. Before, he would wake at 0600-0615 and go to toilet (no2’s again) by 0700.

In the first few weeks he would go back to bed for a few minutes then come into our bed until we generally wake up as a family at 0600. In the last two weeks, with some gentle persuasion, he goes back to bed and stays there until Mr Sunshine comes out (we use a Gro-clock). Once he’s woken up and gone to the toilet he’s told he must try to go back to sleep in his bed (which he hasn’t yet), or sit up and read a book with his night-light (which he doesn’t). He generally lays in bed and turns his light-show on and gets up at 0545 (Mr Sunshine time).

My son and daughter (3 1/2) share a bedroom and sleep in bunk-beds. Their bedtime routine is:

1825, all go upstairs to get undressed and run a bath (NO MORE TV/RADIO/TABLET ETC).
1835, both in bath.
1845, both out of bath.
1850, dried and in pyjamas, milk, story time, reading (son)/phonics (daughter).
1900, dad reads a story.
1905, in bed with a light show, door left ajar.
1915-1920, both asleep.

My son has a good diet, but tends to eat far more fruit than he does vegetables, which generally makes him a little loose. Weetabix has the same effect on him. In a typical day he’d eat one Weetabix, two banana’s, grapes, a pear or apple and strawberries. We’ve recently moved his fruit content from morning, afternoon and evening to just morning and afternoon. We assume quite loose because he eats so much fruit.

Are we right to connect his diet to the change in toilet habit, and if so is there anything we can do with his diet to help change the time he wakes for no2’s? It’s not effecting his school work yet but are conscious it could do soon.

We've experimented by going to bed a little later or earlier for a week ata time but nothing's working.

I hope somebody can help me.

andypandy55 Mon 21-Dec-15 23:53:51

Is this something to do with the clocks changing a few weeks ago and maybe his body clock is out, if he was regular before.

plugster1975 Wed 23-Dec-15 08:25:42

It might be, however we're conscious that if he continues to lose 0.5 - 1hrs sleep each night it might begin to effect his school work.

Apart from visiting our GP do you know of anybody who might help us?

Cressandra Fri 25-Dec-15 20:37:59

I think this will be a phase that will pass.

I would start by keeping track of his poos through the day. They often happen 20mins or so after a meal or big drink. Note down mealtimes and poo times for several days. That might give you an insight. I think you're right that all that fruit might make it difficult for him to go long without pooing, but tying it in to times of day is going to be trial and error I think. Transit time varies quite a lot from one person to the next. The obvious thing to do would be to cut his fruit intake - only you can decide if the trade-off is worth it. It might be worth experimenting with removing bananas as they can have a particular effect on bowels. But it might be that removing fruit in just the morning or afternoon does the trick.

My guess would be that he is not pooing after his evening meal, or that the bedtime milk stimulates his bowel but he's asleep when it kicks in, and then can't keep it in all night. If that's the case you could bring milk earlier or stop it, and/or work on encouraging a bedtime poo, making sure he has his feet well supported and he sits for long enough. But it sounds like it's basically not a pooing problem, it's a getting back to sleep problem. A toilet trained child going to the loo in the night shouldn't be a problem, what's missing is the habit of going back to sleep after. DD regularly goes to the loo 3 or 4 times in the night but she knows she needs to rest in the dark if it's before 7am. She's 9 though, we've had a few more years to bend her to our will smile

Is there a comprehensive thread anyone can link me to which explains matched betting in simple terms?

KnowYourPlace Sat 27-Jan-18 23:12:36

That, really. I'm interested in learning but have never even put a bet on before so would need it explaining to me really s-l-o-w-l-y.

Anxiouslady Sun 28-Jan-18 18:37:24

Watching this with interest, I’m in the same position. I work full time- would it be manageable? Husband seems to think I’ll need more time to do it?

StopTakingAllTheGoodNames Sun 28-Jan-18 18:54:38

Also watching with interest. I have plenty of time on my hands! Just sounds so confusing...

whattheactualbleep Wed 14-Feb-18 21:18:44

Also watching.
Wouldn't have a clue where to start but really want to give it a go this year.

Sign up to Oddsmonkey and it literally all lays it all out in a fool proof step by step guide, starting with the coral offer.

Saladd0dger Wed 14-Feb-18 22:25:14

I’m with you op. Iv watched videos and looked at odds monkey and still don’t get it lol. I physically need showing

I think Yesbets has a simpler layout than oddsmonkey.

Baby's head hitting pelvis for days - how do I move it down???

(7 Posts)
Flowermum Sat 25-Oct-08 17:44:19

Hi all,

I can feel the baby's head hitting my pelvis, has been there for days now and is getting really uncomfortable.

I've forgotten all my yoga from last pg (didn't do it this time). Does anyone know anything I can do to move it down to engage? OR is it tough luck?

Am 39+3 now.

melmamof3 Sat 25-Oct-08 17:48:09

Go down on all 4s, and stick your bum in the air IYKWIM. Ment to help move the baby.

Also you could stay with legs as wide as you feel comfortable and rock from side to side.

Both situations look funny to other people, so maybe do it where there are no people around to point and laugh at you wink

liahGeneMutatedMonster Sat 25-Oct-08 17:49:16

have a read of this.

Flowermum Sat 25-Oct-08 17:49:29

But wouldn't bum in air make the baby go back up? Am trying to picture it without actually getting off my large arse to do it...
Am now rocking like a crazy person though!

Flowermum Sat 25-Oct-08 17:53:56

That's really interesting Liah, good to know that even in labour there's something I can do!
I really want this baby out asap as I'm a huge heap of misery but am also hoping for a homebirth so want to avoid any complications that might mean I'd have to go to hospital.

melmamof3 Sat 25-Oct-08 18:05:27

You'd think that having your arse in the air, the baby would move down, but no. Apparently, its ideal for getting their head engaged as well.

Flowermum Sat 25-Oct-08 18:08:21

OK so, will give it a go later when DD is gone to bed and not jumping on me, that probably wouldn't help.
Actually I don't think the baby wants to come out at all because it's older sister will want to 'play' with it...

Fairy or Princess outfits by mail order

(12 Posts)
cupcakes Sat 01-Jan-05 20:33:27

I am looking for a really good quality fairy or princess outfit for my soon to be 2 year old dd's birthday. Can anyone recommend any good shops or mail order? I have looked at Letterbox which seem ok but ordered the Apple Blossom Fairy outfit in the past and found the colours too neon.
And nothing with Disney on!
Many thanks in advance!

JanH Sat 01-Jan-05 20:38:24

This site has assorted fairies and a glorious "Princess Bride"...

KateandtheElves Sat 01-Jan-05 20:41:11

I was about to suggest Disney. I bought my 3 year old neice Disney Princess costumes for Christmas. To my girls a Princess isn't really a Princess unless she's a Disney Princess (with the exception of Fiona from Shrek).

Good luck keeping the concepts of Princesses and Disney separate!

WigWamBam Sat 01-Jan-05 20:44:36

Great Little Trading Company have a dressing up box with several costumes, including a princess and a fairy.

JanH Sat 01-Jan-05 20:44:38

gorgeous fairies here (no age 2 though )

Thanks for all that info! Will have a look now.
Don't mind buying age 3 as she is quite tall and a lot of the time she will probably be pulling it on over her normal clothes (knowing her as I do!)

Thanks JanH - the Childrens Salon looks great, I'm spoilt for choice!

widgypog Fri 03-Oct-08 16:04:46

American Assassin: A Thriller (Mitch Rapp Novels #1) (Mass Market Paperbound)

American Assassin: A Thriller (Mitch Rapp Novels #1) Cover Image
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days

Now a major motion picture
#1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn introduces the young Mitch Rapp as he takes on his first covert assignment.

Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world...and then tragedy struck. Terrorists attacked innocent American citizens, and Rapp's girlfriend was among the murdered. Two hundred and seventy souls perished on that cold December night, and thousands of family and friends were left searching for comfort. Mitch Rapp was one of them, but he was not interested in comfort. Now he wants retribution.

Two decades of cutthroat partisan politics have left the CIA and the country in an increasingly vulnerable position. Cold War veteran CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield knows he must prepare his people for the next war. America must confront Islamic terrorism with full force. Stansfield directs his prot g e, Irene Kennedy, and his old Cold War colleague, Stan Hurley, to form a new group of clandestine operatives who will work outside the normal chain of command--men who do not exist.

What type of man is willing to kill for his country without putting on a uniform? Six months of intense training have prepared him to take the war to the enemy's doorstep, and he does so with brutal efficiency. Rapp starts in Istanbul, where he assassinates the Turkish arms dealer who sold the explosives used in the terrorist attack. Rapp then moves on to Hamburg with his team and across Europe, leaving a trail of bodies. All roads lead to Beirut, though, and what Rapp doesn't know is that the enemy is aware of his existence and has prepared a trap. The hunter is about to become the hunted, and Rapp will need every ounce of skill and cunning if he is to survive the war-ravaged city and its various terrorist factions.

Behind the steely gaze of the nation's ultimate hero is a young man primed to become an American assassin.
