8/25/2023 0 Comments Salomon forces quest 4d gtx reviewThe outer fabrics shed water well, and even after sustained rainfall our feet remained completely dry on a number of early-season hikes. The tough nylon and leather construction, gusseted tongue, and Gore-Tex liner all mean that the Quest 4D 2 is a fine performer in the wet. The nicely spaced lugs aren’t the tallest or most aggressive looking on the market, but they are impressively grippy on the dry stuff and shed mud and clay quite well in the wet. Stacked up to the competition, the Contragrip rubber holds its own. The Quest 4D’s have solid lugs that performed well over the slickrock in Utah as well as wet and muddy trails of the Pacific Northwest. By no means should this be seen as a cost-cutting endeavor, as the Contragrip rubber is well known for its reliable traction in its trail running line, including the impressive Salomon Speedcross 4 (see our in-depth review). On previous long mileage days when we packed a bit more conscientiously or for tougher day hikes, we did not experience the same level of underfoot discomfort.īucking industry trends of employing Vibram for underfoot traction, Salomon makes use of their in-house Contragrip outsoles for the Quest 4D. Lightweight backpackers and peak baggers should be just fine. Of all the backpacking boots we had along for review, the Salomon’s felt the thinnest underfoot, which over time lead to some soreness.įor perspective, this was after a 14-mile day over rocky terrain while carrying a backpacking pack exceeding 40 pounds. But loaded down with extra water and gear for our trip in Cedar Mesa, Utah, did expose one weakness in the lightweight design-foot fatigue. Underfoot, the 4D Chassis delivers excellent lateral stability without resorting to an excessively stiff midsole shank. The ankle height measures 6 inches from the insole to the top collar, quite tall for a boot in this lighter category. A big contributor is the tall boot height, which easily wraps over and around the ankle. Even with an overloaded pack full of gear to test, the performance was excellent. With an aggressive stance and a great fit around the foot and ankle, the Salomon Quest 4D 2 has truly impressive support and stability on the trail. To see how the Quest 4D 2 GTX stacks up, see our comparison table and article on the best hiking boots. Below we break down the Quest's traction, waterproofing, durability, sizing and fit, and more. ![]() But don’t take a lack of sweeping changes as a bad thing. The updates can be summarized as the following: connecting most of the tongue to the boot’s upper for a better fit when laced up and to create a better seal, and improving the laces and rubber rand. ![]() The 2nd generation (the 4D 2 GTX) was released in spring of 2015, and Salomon has stuck to its original recipe. Appreciated for its light and nimble feel, the original Salomon Quest 4D GTX quickly became a go-to hiking boot for serious day-hikers and fast moving backpackers.

8/25/2023 0 Comments Does amazon kindle app cost money![]() The Kindle app, which hadn’t been given an overhaul in a long time now, is significantly better with the latest update. While Amazon will still want you to buy a Kindle reader, it does realize that it is perhaps more important to let you access the books in your library and the ability to buy more, on perhaps all mobile and computing devices that you may own. This tiff between Amazon and Apple is becoming a tad annoying for those who like to read a lot. On Apple devices, however, you still cannot buy books through the app or subscribe to Kindle Unlimited-for all that, you need to redirect the page to the Safari web browser. You can continue to browse the Kindle books store via the app as well. While you are reading a book, there is now a helpfully placed arrow at the top-left of the display which gives you a one-tap return option to your book library-earlier, it wasn’t as smooth and slick as this. There are new fonts as well, which also do their bit to make everything look cleaner and better laid out on the display. And none more so than on an iPad, where the larger display real estate makes all the difference. On an iOS device, in particular, the Kindle app finally feels more at home. ![]() To the right of the search bar is the sandwich menu, which allows you access to app settings, for instance. However, it looks cleaner now with the search bar more profound on the top and the Discover tab option at the bottom of the page. The Library tab, as before, is where the books are. This not only brightens up the overall look, but is also a good option to have in case visibility was a bit of an issue for you on the darker theme thus far. Amazon is finally giving us the option to switch between a light and a dark theme. Bionic Reading for Apple iOS and macOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows, Google Chrome and Web. ![]() Thank you for everybody that works on the show. Thank you for everybody who voted on the show. He said: "Thank you so much to everyone who watches the show. Jason Sudeikis made his second trip on stage to accept the Outstanding Comedy Series prize for Ted Lasso, having earlier picked up the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series accolade. Jesse also took home the Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series award while star Matthew Macfayden won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. But we are incredibly grateful to have this. Evidently, there was a little bit more voting involved in our winning than King Charles."Īfter actor Brian Cox - who plays patriarch Logan Roy - told Jesse to "keep it royalist", the writer added: "I'm not saying we're more legitimate in our position than where he is. He said: "It's a big week for successions. Showrunner Jesse Armstrong made the evening's only mention of the recent death of Queen Elizabeth and the crowning of her son Charles as King when he accepted the award. The three programmes scooped the final trophies of the evening with Succession named Outstanding Drama Series ahead of Better Call Saul, Euphoria, Ozark, Severance, Squid Game, Stranger Things and Yellowjackets. Succession, Ted Lasso and The White Lotus won the biggest prizes at this year's PrimeTime Emmy Awards. The survival drama previously won four honours at the Creative Arts Emmys earlier this month, notable for Lee Yoo-mi for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. ![]() The evening also saw Hwang Dong-hyuk take home the Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series accolade. He added: "Thank you to everyone watching in South Korea. The 49-year-old star ended his speech by thanking fans back in South Korea. "Thank you to Netflix and thank you to the director for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen with a great script and amazing visuals. Taking to the stage at Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater to accept the award, Jung-jae said: "Thank you so much, thank you so much. The Squid Game actor became the first South Korean actor and the first actor of Asian descent to win the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series thanks to his role in the Netflix series, which saw him beat out Succession's Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, Ozark's Jason Bateman, Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk and Severance's Adam Scott. ![]() Lee Jung-jae has made history with his Emmy Awards win on Monday Tuesday (Sept 13 Singapore time). ![]() ![]() This is because the antibiotics kill many of the natural bacteria in your gut, which shifts the gut balance and allows harmful bacteria to thrive. When people take antibiotics, especially for long periods of time, they often experience diarrhea - even long after the infection has been eradicated. Probiotics are widely researched for their effects on digestive health ( 30).Įvidence suggests that probiotic supplements can help cure antibiotic-associated diarrhea ( 31). These microorganisms perform numerous important bodily functions. Your gut flora consists of hundreds of types of microorganisms. Probiotics and prebiotic fibers can help correct this balance, ensuring that your “forgotten organ” is functioning optimally ( 29). These diseases are thought to include obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, colorectal cancer, Alzheimer’s, and depression ( 25, 26, 27, 28). Your gut flora is highly sensitive to your diet, and studies show that an unbalanced gut flora is linked to numerous diseases ( 23, 24). This can help prevent unwanted substances from entering your body and provoking an immune response ( 21, 22). These fats also stimulate your immune system and strengthen your gut wall. It also turns fibers into short-chain fats like butyrate, propionate, and acetate, which feed your gut wall and perform many metabolic functions ( 19, 20). It manufactures vitamins, including vitamin K and some of the B vitamins ( 18). Your gut flora performs many important health functions. For this reason, some scientists refer to the gut flora as the “forgotten organ” ( 17). Surprisingly, the metabolic activities of your gut flora resemble those of an organ. Most of the gut flora is found in your colon, or large intestine, which is the last part of your digestive tract. Your gut is home to a complex eco-system of 300–500 bacterial species ( 16). The gut microbiota includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea, and helminths - with bacteria comprising the vast majority. The complex community of microorganisms in your gut is called the gut flora, gut microbiota, or gut microbiome ( 14, 15). Importance of microorganisms for your gut There are many different types, and you can obtain them from foods or supplements. Probiotics are living microorganisms that boost health when consumed in adequate amounts. Some researchers warn about possible negative effects from the “dark side” of probiotics and call for caution and strict regulation ( 12, 13). Some supplements, known as broad-spectrum probiotics or multi-probiotics, combine different species in the same product.Īlthough the evidence is promising, more research is needed on the health benefits of probiotics. Therefore, choosing the right type - or types - of probiotics is essential. On labels, you’ll see probiotics identified by their specific strain (which includes the genus), the species, subspecies if there is one, and a letter-number strain code ( 11).ĭifferent probiotics have been found to address different health conditions. Other common kinds are Saccharomyces, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Escherichia, and Bacillus.Įach genus comprises different species, and each species has many strains. The most common probiotic bacteria are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Synbiotic products usually combine friendly bacteria along with some food for the bacteria to eat (the prebiotics), all in one supplement ( 10). Products that contain both prebiotics and probiotics are referred to as synbiotics. Probiotics should not be confused with prebiotics, which are carbs - often dietary fibers - that help feed the friendly bacteria already in your gut ( 9). Probiotic foods include yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, and kimchi. ![]() You can get probiotics from supplements, as well as from foods prepared by bacterial fermentation. There are also other microorganisms in the gut that are being studied, including viruses, fungi, archaea, and helminths ( 8). Probiotics are usually bacteria, but certain types of yeasts can also function as probiotics. However, the scientific community often disagrees on what the benefits are, as well as which strains of bacteria are responsible ( 7). Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when ingested, provide a health benefit ( 6). 8/25/2023 0 Comments Moose sounds audio![]() Places like Yellowstone National Park and the Wyoming National Elk Refuge are good spots for elk viewing. The Rocky Mountain and western regions make up the bulk of the elk range in the United States – Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Alaska. Climate change is making it tough for them however, as warming winters spell more trouble from deadly ticks. Our affiliate, Conservation Northwest, is hoping to change that! Moose live in northern New England, the Northern Rockies and Alaska. Elk and caribou travel in large herds and are on the move, with some caribou herds numbering in the tens of thousands and traveling great distances during migration.Ĭaribou can be seen in Alaska but sadly, are extremely rare in the lower 48 – there are just a few that still wander around the mountains in Idaho near the Canadian border. Moose are fairly solitary and usually hang out by themselves with the exception of mothers and their young and during mating season. (Source: Aleksa Mrkela / AlexTriceratops123 / YouTube)Ĭaribou migration in Alaska. (Source: NPS & MSU Acoustic Atlas/Jennifer Jerrett) Moose have more of wail sound and they grunt too. If you hear a loud, high-pitched bugle, it’s an elk! Specifically a male elk, bugling to attract mates. Moose have dark brown fur all over their bodies with a bulbous nose and a dewlap hanging from their neck. Photo: Lindsay Kaye Ohlert.Ĭaribou have white necks with fur lighter than the rest of their bodies, while the fur on elks necks is darker than the rest of their bodies and shaggy. Male caribou shed their antlers in November or December, after mating, while females will often carry them until June. Unlike elk or moose (or any other deer species) male and female caribou grow antlers – which have a cool “C” shape when you look at them from the side. Male moose have flat, wide antlers that can span six feet from tip to tip. The stately antlers grown by male elk are an elongated shape with many points coming off the large beams. Elk and caribou “only” get to be about 3 to 5 ft. Moose are the biggest of the three, weighing as much as 1800 pounds. Here are six ways to tell the difference between these three species: ![]() Elk, moose and caribou make for great winter wildlife watching, but it’s tricky to know which is which. 8/25/2023 0 Comments Envoi fichier bitmessage
8/25/2023 0 Comments Bedroom wall decor picturesScreenprints such as Melissa Hartley’s Sequence Series is a great example for starting a gallery wall collection, as it’s affordable and brings visual interest and colour that can be expanded and enhanced by varying artworks. Alternatively, if you’d prefer each artwork to all have an equal appeal, consider how each piece will be laid out so they work with, rather than against, each other.įinally, will your frames be one unifying colour or a mix of materials and shades? Is each piece going to be mounted and framed or will some be fixed within a floating frame? How do you think these will complement or contrast with each other? Making these decisions prior to hanging will ultimately determine how cohesive your gallery wall will be. Does one piece happen to be larger than the rest and do you intend this to be the focal point? If so, centre the largest artwork in the middle of the wall so it’s front and centre. Next, you’ll need to consider the size of the pieces you’re including in your gallery wall. Do you want to stick to a calm theme using landscapes and botanicals, or do you prefer more visually striking elements, such as portraiture and abstracts?

He used to be, in the ’80s, a male stripper. Billy is not your typical dancer, Angela adds in the Instagram clip. However, fans have always felt sympathy towards Michael in this relationship. Any sex worker (prostitute, stripper, adult film actor, etc.) who has some baseline goodness, often a woman who becomes a love interest for a main character. Billy was a stripper known as The Original Thief of Hearts. Angela has made numerous videos duetting a TikTok user who calls himself the Original Thief of Hearts. Angela knows that Michael is young and has a whole life ahead of him, while she is old and deserves to have some kind of happiness after so many years of hardships. If you met Ray and Mickey Davis, youd swear they had a perfect marriage. In that case, her spending thousands of dollars on Michael does seem like a waste. Angela feels Michael is scamming her and there are chances he might leave her once he comes to the U.S. But if you read Mickey's diary, you'd know that unrest is lurking just beneath the surface.

Angela being generous is not something that 90 Day Fiancé viewers are used to seeing, but in this case, her flirting with Billy could really be harmless. However, fans also think that Angela is just doing a good deed to give the Canadian man some exposure and raise funds for his cause. One fan was “ pretty sure” that like Angela, Billy is also married. “ Anyone that entertains her is doing it to be in tv & publicity,” said another fan. “ Billy must be desperate for 5 minutes of fame,” wrote a different TLC viewer.
